HE SOUNDS REV. S. G. LAMKINS BEFORE THE BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. VOL. XLI. NO. 29 HE REV. S. G. LAMKIN BAPTIST MINIST ENCE. Interesting Meeting of this Well- Known Organization—Many Visi- tors Present—Rev. S. G. Lamkins Makes a Great Speech. The Baptist Ministers' Conference held its regular meeting last Monday morning in the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. M. W. D. Norman presided and Rev. J. I. Loving acted as secretary. There were quite a number of visitors present. Attorney Joseph Polfard, of Richmond, Va.; Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and others addressed the conference. The Committee on Publication consisted of Revs. William D. Jarvis and W. A. Taylor. Rev. Lankins addressed the conference as follows: terence as follows. "The colored people of America are just as much citizens of the United States under the law as any other American citizens—no more; no less. The election of Senator Harding should mean to them, therefore, what it means to all other American citizens—no more; no less. If what I have said is true, and it cannot be successfully denied it would seem out of place, yea, out of order, to ask what the election of Senator Harding M. as President of the United States means to the colored people of America. It is the peculiar place which we hold in the Nation that makes the question of especial importance. Our unenviable position in the body politic is not one of our selection or of our choice. On the contrary, it has been forced upon us by those who have the rule over us, in-State and Nation. We are guaranteed in theory all of the rights, privileges and immunities as all other American citizens, but denied them in practice. The amendments to the Constitution say that no man shall be denied his civil and political rights on account of race, color or previous conditions of servitude. We ask nothing more and will not be satisfied with anything less. We are not crying for special favors; we would scorn to accept them. We are not seeking social equality, for we are aware that there is no such thing as social equality between races, or between people of the same race. That is a matter of individual taste and will regulate itself. "The founders of the Republic declared in the preamble of the Constitution of the United States 'that we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created free and equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' We are discriminated against and denied these rights without due process of low. It was Patrick Henry who uttered the immortal words, 'Give me liberty or give me death.' We are segregated by the Federal Government in the executive departments, even in the Department of Justice, where we expected to get a fair deal. We are taxed without representation, which the colonists declared to be tyranny. We are burned at the stake without We are determined to The Washington Bee fair and impartial trial by a jury of our peers, which is guaranteed to every man by the Constitution and the law "What, you ask, has the election of Senator Harding to do with these things—the most of which were inaugurated under Republican administrators, by the enemies of our race, without a serious protest on the part of the Republicans? I have cited them to show, first, that the treatment of our group differs from that of any other group of people in the United States; secondly, to show how far the Government has departed from her sworn Constitution. The election of Senator Harding does not concern us chiefly because he is a Republican. There are some just as good Democrats as there are Republicans. And not chiefly because he is a high-class man, as he undoubtedly is, or chiefly because he belongs to a church which believes in the majority rule. The Baptist Church believes in pure democracy. "The colored people of this country are concerned in the election of Senator Harding chiefly because of his pre-election promises. He declared over and over again that if elected his administration would be a constitutional administration; and that so far as he was able to make it, this would be a constitutional government. If he keeps his pre-election pledges, Federal segregation will cease in the executive departments of the Government; Federal election laws will be fairly administered and enforced; the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States will not remain any longer as dead letters upon the statute books. If the laws of the land are fairly and impartially administered everywhere in this country, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude, there will be no complaint heard from the colored American. "Senator Harding has greatly excited our expectations. Will he justify our hopes? This is a Government of the people, by the people; and for the people. The people accepted the words of Senator Harding at their face value and commissioned him on the 2d of November to put into practice the doctrine of equal rights before the law, which he so eloquently preached. Will he do it? That remains to be seen. If he does, generations unborn will call him blessed. If he does not, he will go to his grave unmourned, unwept and unsung so far as his colored fellow-citizens are concerned. "I pause here to note the difference between the Government and the Nation. The Nation is composed of all American citizens, native-born or naturalized. The Government consists of the machinery put in operation by the Nation to carry out the will of the people, which is the Government. For convenience and to facilitate the will of the people, the Government has been wisely divided into the legislative, executive and judicial departments, all of which are expected to function along their respective fields of operation for the good of all the people. In a democracy every man is entitled to a say as to what shall or shall not be done by the Government. Unless all of the people have an opportunity to express their will it cannot be truthfully called a Government by the people; it will be a Government by part of the people. The only way that the people of the United States are to express their will is by the ballot. If a part of them only is permitted to exercise this right, it is a Government not by the people, but by part of the people. If the Constitution declares that all of the people shall have the right to express themselves, as the Constitution of the United States declares, and if, for any cause, a part of them are denied this WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1920 THE HAITIAN CONSUL Hon. L. W. Livingston, the Haitian consul of the United States stationed at Cape Haitian, arrived in the city last Saturday morning and went direct to the Whitelaw. Mr. Livingston has made a remarkable record as United States consul at Cape Haitian. He remained in the city a very few days. ```markdown ``` Government in the true sense of the word. It is only partly constitutional, and that is just the situation in America today. "Senator Harding says he will make this a constitutional Government. Will he do it? Can he do it? We greatly rejoice to know that Senator Harding is a devout Christian man, but it will require more than grace to enable him to put through this program, to make good his word. He will need grit. He will need undaunted courage. He will need backbone. He will need the highest quality of American statesmanship. With all of these combined he cannot succeed without the loyal and hearty support of every true friend of constitutional Government. "All we ask of him is that he take as much time and pains and use as much precaution to put through his domestic program as he will take to push through his foreign policy. Senator Harding said before the election that the colored people 'should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed; that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.' We have made flowers bloom where thorns and thistles grew. We have been faithful in peace and loyal in time of war. We have justified the hopes of our best friends in the past, and we will do so in the future, or report to God the reason why. "But I cannot conclude this address without saying that there is no royal road to success. We must rise as other people have done before us, by hard work, patience and perseverance. Our greatest success will not come through any political party. We cannot be legislated into a position in this country which we do not merit or deserve. If we should be, we could not hold it. "While the colored American will always take a deep interest in politics, as he should do, and demand all that is coming to him from that source, he must look within and not without for his salvation. He must develop himself; he must appeal to his own powers. He has made wonderful strides in the past along professional lines, but he must be a greater factor in the industrial, business and economic life of the Nation. Herein lies his greatest opportunity. These are the chief cornerstones of the Republic. There is yet much land to be possessed. He that would be free must himself first strike the blow. "The election of Senator Harding spells a greater opportunity for the colored American—a reopening of the doors of hope; a friend at court; an opportunity to file or have docketed his plea for simple justice. If this is done, I can here and now forecast the verdict of enlightened public sentiment and American fair play, which has never been, from the foundation of this Government; appealed to in vain. The result will be, princes will come out of Egypt and Ethiopia will soon stretch her hands unto God." SPECIAL NOTICE. Dr. Norman, president of the Baptist 'Ministers' Conference, requests that every pastor connected with the conference report a contribution of 1 cent for every member on their church rolls on Monday, December 20, for the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church. The conference voted unanimously to take this method to assist the McKinley Church, of which Dr. Lamkins is pastor. THE HAITIAN CONSUL. RALPH E. LANGSTON DEAD. The Son of the Late John M. Längston Dies Suddenly at His Home, in the Presence of His Wife, Daughter and Grandchildren—A Republican Leader in New York—A Faithful Supporter of Col. Charles W. Anderson—Many Distinguished New York Men Present. About six weeks ago, Mr. Ralph E. Langston, after a strenuous campaign for the national and local Republican ticket in New York, left that city and came to Washington for a rest and recreation. His message over the telephone to The Bee told the story. Mr. Langston worked hard in the city and State of New York for the Republican ticket, and he was living in hopes of enjoying the fruits of a Republican victory. It had already been decided that he should have a representative place in this city, and it was the hope of his dear wife that he should realize his ambition. On his arrival in this city he was met at the station by his wife. He was then quite weak. After having been driven home he was placed in charge of Dr. Carm, who gave instructions just what should be done for him. He was put to bed and in a few days, under the careful nursing of his wife, he began to improve. The evening of his death, which was on Wednesday. December 1, he took a walk to the home of his brother, Frank Langston. On his return home he was kuite weak. Before he left his brother, Frank telephoned for one of his grandchildren to meet him. Mr. Langston arose to go upstairs and just as he reached the foot of the stairs he became weak, but he managed to walk up. After reaching his room he became more exhausted, and it seemed a great effort for him to breathe. He sat on the edge of the bed, and the doctor was sent.for immediately, but it was too late to do him any good. He died at 7 p.m. on December 1, at his home, 1757 Third street northwest, from which house he was buried Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Father O'Connor, the well-known and beloved pastor of St. Augustine's Church, officiated. Frank Langston was the son of the late John M. Langston, who was born in Oberlin, Ohio. He moved to New York, where he and his wife lived, she alternating between this city and New York. His wife was formerly Miss Jackson, one of Washington's leading citizens and a belle at the time. She was regarded as one of the prettiest ladies in the younger set at the time. He leaves a wife, daughter, two grandchildren, a brother and sister, Mrs. Nettie Napier, wife of former Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier. He was buried in Woodlawn. The services at the house were very impressive. Rev. Father Mien, of St. Augustine's Church was very impressive. In the parlor were seated the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Langston. The casket was covered with flowers from the friends and admirers of Mr. Langston. A most handsome wreath was sent by the Fifth Assembly District Republican Club of New York, and telegrams of condolence from Hon. Charles H. Anderson, of New York, who was too sick to attend; Mr. and Mrs. Naphier, of Nashville, Tenn., and Editor Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age. The first vocal selection rendered was "Lead, Kindly Light." Prayer was by Rev. Father Mien. Mrs. Martina Irving, of St. Augustine's choir, rendered very sweetly "Face to Face." The music department of the public schools rendered very sweetly a beautiful selection. Rev. Father Mien delivered a remarkable address. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the body was conveved to Woodlawn Cemetery. The palibearers were Judge Robert H. Terrell, Prof. Kelly Miller, A. P. Albert, M. W. Spencer, Leon Turner and Editor W. Calvin Chase. TOCSIN JOHN C. DANCY DEAD. Orator, Journalist, Politician and Churchman. John C. Dancy, orator, journalist, politician and churchman, died at his home, 2139 L street northwest, Sunday morning. Mr. Dancy had been ill for some time, and, when Doctors Pierre and Williston diagnosed his case, both physicians stated then that he was beyond medical aid. Mr. Dancy was informed that he was a very sick man. However, both physicians worked night and day to give him relief, but it was impossible to save him. Mr. Dancy was one of the best-known representatives in this country and was held in high esteem by the late John Sherman, who was at one time Secretary of the Treasury. No man was more highly respected and liked than John C. Dancy. His characteristics were good and at no time did he ever speak ill of any man—not even his enemies. He was born in Tarboro, N. C., May 8, 1857. At 16 he was a clerk in the Treasury, studying at Howard University meanwhile. He seconded the nomination of John A. Logan for Vice-President in the Republican National Convention of 1884. Under Harrison and McKinley he was collector of customs of Wilmington, N. C., and was appointed Recorder of Deeds of the District by Roosevelt in 1901, serving in that capacity until 1910. 1916 Funeral services were held at the Galbraith Church Tuesday afternoon, the eulogy being delivered by his lifetime friends, the Rev. William Harvey Goler. Bishop J. S. Caldwell acted as master of ceremonies. Masonic rites were conducted by Eureka Lodge, No. 5 F. A. A. M. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Florence V. Dancy; a daughter, Mrs. Lillian Reed, of Greensboro, N. C.; two sons, John C. Dancy, Jr., of Detroit, and Dr. Joseph P. Dancy, and two sisters, Mrs. Ella Boyd and Miss Martha Dancy. The exercises at Galbraith Church, of which Mr. Dancy was a member, were very impressive. The honorary pallbearers were: Judge Robert H. Terrell, John E. Taylor, Whitefield McKinley, Dr. S. M. Pierre, Dr. E. D. Williston, P. B. S. Pinchback, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, J. Finley Wilson, S. G. Atkins, Dr. D. C. Suggs, Thos. L. Jones and Nathan Williams. Mr. Dancy, aside from other things in which he was engaged, was a prominent churchman and a most brilliant orator, journalist and politician. He knew his friends and, unlike many public men, he never lied to them. He was open and frank and would evade a row whenever one was brewing. DR. BROWN'S MURDERER. Dismiss the Amateurs and Place a Man on the Job—Ex-Sergeant Detective Beckley Can Deliver the Goods. On all corners, in every household, churches, schools and societies the question is being asked, "Has Dr. Brown's assassin been caught yet?" Men walking around street corners and cabarets, with heads up in the air, will not find the murderer of Dr. Brown. The Bee believes that Ex-Sergeant Detective Harry Beckley can do more to solve this mystery than any other man in the Police Department. The Bee is confident that if Major Gessford wants results, let him reappoint Sergeant Beckley on the force or give him police authority to hunt the murderer of Dr. Brown. It is the consensus of opinion that he will report with his man at Police Headquarters within forty-eight hours or he will make the Police Department a present of $1,000. Sergeant Beckley should never have resigned from the force. A man who is so valuable to the department should have been encouraged to remain. Will Major Gessford adopt the sug- gestion of The Bee? Would it not be more credit to the Police Department to have a man on the force who is more valuable to the community than it would be to allow a murderer to run at large? ALLIED BANKERS' AND INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION. National Colored Banking Program Gigantic Enterprise for Economic Development to be Launched by Representative Group of Colored Bankers and Business Men. Announcement has already been made of the decision of a group of colored men, representing colored banking institutions and Negro business, to put under way a national banking program looking to closer affiliation with metropolitan banking interests. Application for charter has already been made by the following colored bankers and business men: L. E. Williams, president Wage Earners' Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga.; Harry H. Pace, formerly secretary-treasurer of Standard Life Insurance Company, now president Pace & Handy, New York, City; E. B. Brown, president, Brown & Stevens, bankers, Philadelphia, Pa., and president of Quality Amusement Corporation; John E. Nail, of Nail & Parker, real estate, New York City; J. S. Jones, secretary-treasurer, Tidewater Bank & Trust Co., Norfolk, Va.; Charles Banks, the leading factor in the development of Negro town of Mound Bayou, Miss.; and Emmett J. Scott, of Washington, D. C. The new enterprise is to be known as the Allied Bankers' and Industrial Corporation. The Allied Bankers' and Industrial Corporation will, it is thought, eventually include the whole group of Negro banking establishments and serve as a clearing house for these Negro banks, for Negro life insurance companies, for manufacturing companies and for Negro business generally. The corporation will also serve as a financial reservoir for the development of industry among the colored people of the United States. Representatives of metropolitan financial institutions are giving encouragement to the movement. The enterprise is to be owned by and operated wholly in the interest of and for the economic development of the race. The incorporators of the new concern are to meet in New York City shortly for purposes of organization. Contracts are now being printed, and by the opening of the New Year a new million-dollar concern will have been launched by the strongest group of Negro financial interests ever joined together in an allied movement. JAMES O. HOLMES WINS. Court of Appeals Reverses Lower Court. The Kenyon "red light" law was not intended to penalize the owners or renters of property used for unlawful purposes unless it is expressly proved that the owner or renter had knowledge of such use of the property, it was held by the District Court of Appeals recently in an opinion on the charge against James O. Holmes, proprietor of Holmes Hotel on Virginia avenue southwest. Holmes was enjoined by the District Supreme Court was using the property on the petition of the District Attorney, who declared the premises were used in violation of the spirit of the Kenyon law. Holmes, appealing from the action of the lower court, stated he had no knowledge of the use of his house for alleged plegal and immoral acts. He declared he should not be deprived of the use of the property because someone else had violated the law. The Appellate Court remanded the case to the lower tribunal, with instructions that the equity bill for an injunction against Holmes might be amended by charging guilty knowledge against Holmes.

C. A. on Fourteenth street, and listened to a most helpful talk by Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs of America and Canada, and one of the most noted women of our race. She has crossed the briny deep eight times and has been entertained by Queen Victoria, Queen Alexandria and Queen Mary. She has had more honors accorded her by the royalty of foreign countries than any colored woman, and with it all she has spent, and is now spending, her life for her race. She is the peer of them all. At the close of her address, a Federation of Colored Women of the District of Columbia was formed, with the following officers: President, Miss Laura Joiner; vice-presidents, Mrs. Leila Pendleton and Dr. Lone Whipple; recording secretary, Mrs. Mary Lomack; corresponding secretary, Miss Martha E. Henson; treasurer, Mrs. M. L. Gray; Executive Committee: Mrs. Mary F. Thompson, chairman; Mrs. Alma Scott, Mrs. Bertie B. Lewis, Miss Corinne Martin, Mrs. Irene Juvix, Mrs. Julia M. Layton, Mrs. Frances Boyce. A large field of work is now planned by these energetic women. On Friday, at the call of Mrs. Helen B. Cardoza, club women from eleven districts of Prince George's county met in the Presbyterian Church in Seat Pleasant. This was an all-day meeting. Some very helpful talks were given at the three sessions. A typical Maryland dinner was served at 2 o'clock. These were the women who did such telling work in Maryland and helped swell the number of votes for Harding and Coolidge and elect a solid Republican ticket for the State of Maryland. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Helen B. Cardoza; vice-presidents, Mrs. Fleet, Mrs. M. F. Wigginton and Mrs. Annie Campbell; secretaries, Mrs. B. G. Patterson and Mrs. Grace Early; treasurer, Mrs. Margaret Brooks. Executive Committee: Miss Nellie A. Plummer, chairman; Mrs. R. A. Henry, Mrs. Estelle Lee, Mrs. J. M.

Attest: JAMES TANNER, Register of Wills. for the District of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court. THE COLORED BAR There are other members of the local bar whose names have not as yet been mentioned. My good friend, Charles S. Hill, is making quite a record in the courts. He is known as Gentleman Charles. Charlie must put on his kid gloves, even in the summer time. He has many divorce cases in this city, as well as in Virginia. The man who is making a great record in criminal law is Attorney John H. Wilson. His last murder case has gained for him a reputation. He erected a defense that would stand the knocks of Gibraltar. The bar is increasing so far as colored lawyers are concerned. Young Hayes, the son of the late James H. Hayes, is a persistent chap. He will make a record soon. He is a little nervous at times. He is young yet, but he will get there. He is a chip from the old block. SAFE, SANE AND SOUND. Now that the election has passed, and the people are thinking without reference to votes, it is refreshing to read the following comment in the Nation with reference to the charge on one side and the denial on the other thatarding has Negro blood in his veins. "Mr. Harding's ancestry does not interest us in the least. It may be true, as cynics say, that Harding's election proves the truth of the old American adage that 'any boy born in America may become President,' but whatever the unpleasant truth of politics, the only test of a presidential candidate ought to be his fitness for the office as proved by his own record. The scandalous underhandedness of the whispering campaign of the Democrats, and the indignation of the Republicans at the suggestion that their candidate might have Negro blood in his veins, only prove the spuriousness of all their protestations of belief in equal rights for black and white. It is to the credit of the World that alone among the New York newspapers it spoke out in this matter, declaring that there was in the story 'nothing that reflects in the slightest degree upon his (Harding's) character or his capacity.' It is a reproach to the intelligence of the American people that a trace of black blood should be a bar to any job, office or position for which the capacity of a man fits him, and it is, moreover, a crime against the very soul of our institutions and our democracy to talk of the suggestion of Negro blood in anyone's veins as an 'unspeakable disgrace.'"

The Teacher Training Department The Grammar School The Divinity School The Academy The Commercial Department The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Home Economics The Department of Music The Department of Social Service PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC, MEN, WOMEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. I have concluded to deal with women as well as men and things. Women have decided to place themselves on political and other equality with men, hence they must receive what is to come also. Among a few of the most diplomatic women among us, I can not help from naming Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Miss Ora A. Chase, and a few others. Both of these ladies will have something to say when events change. Neither of these ladies is at all vindictive, but have done all in their power to help the worthy. Already a strong movement is on foot to organize a female forum which is to be devoted especially to the colored women. Mr. Logan Tucker is very much in favor of such a movement among colored women. Mrs. Layton would make an excellent secretary, and Miss Chase would make a good president of the new organization. I shall not be surprised to see the women ruling the world in a few years. They are more active and more determined than men. When women can force men to amend the Constitution that they created and give females the right to vote. What else will they make men do? In this particular women are stronger than the men. It was a God-send when the Constitutional amendment was adopted. The women saved the country from Ku Kluxism. *** There is some talk of the Ku Klux invading the North. Well, you can just bet a peck of apples to a quart of peanuts when the Southern Ku Klux invade the North they will receive a warm reception. That will be one time when the colored Americans will defend their wives and their children. *** Now, on the 4th of March, 1921, the politicians throughout the country will invade this city. The entire contingent at the Chicago headquarters will be in this city job hunting. I want to see my good friend Brown, of Kentucky, land in a representative place. Next I want Charles Anderson, of New York, cared for, because he dignified every official position to which he was appointed under former administrations. Now, there is my good friend Fred Moore. I want to see him land in this city. I would like to see Thomas L. Jones as Recorder of Deeds. If not, why not? There is no reason why Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, should not return to the auditor's office. He was a man in that place, and no cringing officeholder. He was master of his office. I don't want to see any more two by two colored politicians in office, who know nothing but their way to their jobs. I would rather be the first man in my little job than the tail-ender in the Register of the Treasury's office or as Collector of the Port of Georgetown. All of these antediluvian poli- TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address JAMES E. SHEPARD; DURHAM, NORTH For further information and Catalog, address ticians will be weighed in the balance and transferred to a second-hand junkshop. *** Now, there is Dr. Emmett J. Scott. I would like to see him Assistant Secretary of War or at the head of a bureau where he could shine. He is one of the best qualified colored Americans in the United States and no figurehead. He would bring dignity to his office and reflect credit on the race with which he is identified. *** I am glad to know that The Bee will not give communications in other articles that use the word "Negro." I agree with The Bee that the word "Negro" is a manufactured word applied to colored Americans, and the sooner sensible colored Americans drop all of this manufactured stuff that certain people apply to colored people the better it will be for them. I would advise that office hunting be an incident and not a direct appeal to the incoming administration to their citizenship. I read a few days ago in the public press that ex-President Taft advocated more recognition of colored people in the South for office. He believes that it will keep harmony among the two races in the South if colored men are not given office. In this connection I would like to know if colored Americans are regarded as human beings? If they are, why should they not be treated as American citizens? If they are not human, why are they drafted to fight the enemy whenever the American Government is engaged in a war? Perhaps Mr. Taft will realize what he is talking about some day. He was on all sides of the fence in the discussion of the League of Nations, and at one time it was thought he was going to support Mr. Cox. A GREAT WORK For the first time in history a complete record of the greatest Negro sporting classic of the year will have been made in motion pictures. This is the work of the Monumental Pictures. Corporation, a Washington company recently organized by former Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, who was in charge of the Negro soldier activities and work of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Lieut. Clifford made a statement in which he asserted that one of the great efforts of present activities of his company would be devoted toward organizing the colored exhibitors and presenting to them complete every month a motion picture showing the activities of the colored race. In doing this he states he is cementing together in a bond of knowledge and familiarity the people of our race. The staff of the Monumental Pictures Corporation, headed by Lieut. Clifford, is under the direction of Director General Leslie Kendall, who actively directs the productions of the corporation. He said that a great future laid before the colored motion-picture industry, citing the fact that an industry which in the course of a few years had climbed to fourth in importance and wealth in the country was practically devoid of colored productions until the formation by Lieut. Clifford of the Monumental Company. It is the intention of the company to develop its own talent and produce pictures in Washington and details of a big real estate transaction which is now under way will provide for the future home of the company. Mr. Clifford's personal assurance from his staff is that as good, if not better, pictures will be produced here as have ever been produced. HOWARD UNIVERSITY ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS. For promoting the discussion of university problems and the exchange of ideas among the many new departments of the Howard University, a series of faculty round tables has been substituted for the usual faculty club organization. The latter organization had lapsed for a period of two years, owing to the employment of so large a part of the staff in various forms of war teaching and service. The present scheme is to have each department in rotation conduct a round table meeting, followed by general discussion and social entertainment. The first of these round table discussions was held at the home of President and Mrs. Durkee, University Hill, Thursday evening, November 4, administrative problems being discussed by President J. Stanley Durkee and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university. They were followed by Prof. William A. Hazel, instructor in architecture, who discussed the form of architecture which should be followed in future buildings to round out the university building program. The program for the current year is as follows: The administrative officers and the Department of Architecture, November 4, "Architectural Development at Howard." The Departments of English and Modern Language, December 2, "The Effect of the War Upon Literature." The Department of Music, January 27, "The Contribution of the Negro in Music." The Departments of Pure Science and Mathematics, February 24, "Recent Changes in the So-Called Fundamental Theories of Science." The Departments of Sociology and Religion, March 31, "Social Service Agencies and Training in the American College." The Department of Education, April 28, "The Nationalization of American Education." The chairman of the respective departments or of the first-named department will preside at each of the meetings. Departments not represented on this year's program will be asked to participate next year. Some people do nine per cent of finding fault and complaining to ten per cent of praising and finding the good traits.

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.

Catts or Democratic Hell-Catts. Now comes forward from the South an organized movement, with its propaganda, to have Congress enact laws setting Sunday aside as a day of absolute suspension from all labor or amusement—a measure is put forward which proscribes the bluest sort of "blue-law" regulation. What manner of men, of what character and type are these Southern would-be regulators, are these who would enforce their conception of religious standards on the people of this Nation? Florida has a minister, a Rev. Catt; holding the office of governor. Rev. Catt, of course, is a reformer and prohibitionist and regulator of the morals and religion of mankind in the Southern fashion, while in Florida the Democratic Catt red-necks and ruffians and Hell-Catts, big and little, have only recently been going forth in that State murdering, lynching, burning, pillaging whenever and wherever persons of colored skin could be set upon as victims of the hate and savagery of these Southern reformers. All through the South, day by day, we read of lynching and murder of defenseless and helpless colored persons. We do not hear, however, of any of these Sunday, observance regulators, Catt or Hell-Catt, undertaking to stop the orgy of blood-lust going on everywhere in the South. Perhaps these hypocrites want everything else suspended on Sunday that all hands may be free to indulge in man-hunting and lynching and the mobbing of innocent colored people; to indulge in the burning of homes and the shooting of colored women and children. From the rioting and lynching South is a mighty poor place for the American people to get any ideals as to religion or anything else.

Repeat this three or four times. Then rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Soap gently into the skin with a soft wash rag, using hot water.

In addition to the soap, cream and powder, Dr. Fred Palmer has prepared a hair dresser that is without equal for straightening, softening and increasing the growth of the hair.

JUVENILE CRIME Juvenile crime has decreased. This was hardly to be expected, as there are numerous factors in both wet and dry territories tending to increase juvenile crime at the present time. Children are inspired to crime more frequently by loafing places and bad companionship than by the existence of saloons from which they have been generally excluded. Perhaps, also, the greater participation in industry and public life by women has tended somewhat to lessen oversight of children by their mothers and elder sisters. There is also a marked tendency on the part of city governments to deal more strictly with juvenile crime. Children are hailed to Juvenile Court nw who were formally only taken to their parents and admonished in their presence. Colorado has 63 counties, of which 11 are urban and 52 rural. Denver has a specially organized court, presided over by a judge elected to deal with juvenile crime. Colorado Springs has specially organized sessions for this purpose, although the judge has general powers, as have the other judges in the State. During the period 1914-1916 the number of petitions filed for juvenile delinquency, by years; in the several juvenile courts of the States are as follows: 1914, 657; 1915, 704; 1916, 609. However, of the above number of children appearing before the courts only the following were found to be delinquent: 1914, 484; 1915, 504; 1916, 433. The population of the county jails throughout the State on July 1, 1915, was 393, and on July 1, 1916, 268. REDUCÉ REPRESENTATION The South Has Violated the Constitution of the United States—Congressman Tinkham Acts. To "do political justice to all the States in the Union" and at the same time limit the size of the House of Representatives to approximately the present number—435 members—Representative George Holden Tinkham, of Massachusetts, proposes, in a resolution introduced recently, to cut down the representation of the Southern States. Declaring that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution have been flagrantly violated and ignored in the recent election and must be enforced, because this Nation "cannot exist half constitutional and half unconstitutional," Representative Tinkham's resolution calls for an investigation by the Census Committee regarding "the extent to which the right to vote is denied or abridged in any State." Proposes Appeal to Court. In a statement bristling with invective against the way, he declares, the Constitution has eben defied, Representative Tinkham threatens that if the House attempts to make a reapportionment under the 1920 census "which is plainly unconstitutional by avoiding enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment," he intends to appeal to the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of the election of the next House. He declares his determination to make it his first and principal duty in Congress to work for the "restoration of political equality and justice in the United States." Representative Tinkham explains that "under the Constitution, representatives in Congress are apportioned every ten years in accordance with the population of the several States, but Congress is directed to reduce the representation of any State in proportion to the disenfranchisement of any of its citizens." Then he points out that "many States of the Union have notoriously disenfranchised large numbers of their citizens and yet unconstitutionally retain the same number of Representatives in Congress as if no disenfranchisement existed, thus giving to the voters who are not disenfranchised in those States a political power far in excess of that given to those voters in States where disenfranchisement does not exist. Comparison of Votes. "The great political inequality," he points out, "and great political injustice between the several States under the present unconstitutional pardonment of Representatives in Congress, based on the population without relation to the disenfranchised votes in the Several States, can be seen by the following comparison of votes in the congressional election of 1918: "The total vote for Representatives in Congress in Alabama, which has 10 Representatives, was 63,345, whereas the total vote for Representatives in Congress in Minniesota, which has 10 Representatives, was 299,127, and the total vote in Iowa, which has 10 Representatives, was 316,377, and the total vote in California, which has 11 Representatives, was 644,790. "With national woman suffrage the disproportion in the vote of these States except in case of those which already had woman suffrage would be nearly double, so that national woman suffrage not only increases the inequality and injustice of the present unconstitutional methods, but magnifies the offense against law and order and political justice."
