tag POLITICIANS PRACTICING TO VOL. XLI. NO. 30 WHO tag POLITICIANS PRA out fr. SHAKE Practicing Politicians Planning to Shake the Plum Tree—Candidates for Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds Are Numerous. If Dr. Emmett Scott pulls off another Howard football game the local wise men will go crazy, because the last one brought to Washington more practicing politicians, pilgrims and patriots than have been seen in this city of calm repose since the inauguration of President Taft. They came from Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Virginia and elsewhere, and the Whitelaw Hotel, which was the scene of many conferences, took on the aspect of a boom factory. Judging from the number of patriots who are willing to sacrifice their time for the modest stipend of $4,500 per year as Register of the Treasury, it would seem that this position ranks as the most important, although it does not appear to have been a financial stepping stone for any of the former registers, whose signature on the currency was the proud boast of several gentlemen whose names have been all but forgotten—probably on account of the war, charitably speaking. Prominent among the scores of names mentioned in connection with this position were those of Andrew Stevens, James C. Napier, Phil Brown, R. S. Abbott, Aaron Malone and Fred Patterson, of Greenfield, Ohio. The rumors obtain that Senator Penrose has promised the place to Stevens; that Senator Spencer is backing Harris; that Napier is in the hands of his friends; that Will Hays will look after Phil Brown; that the Negro Press Association is for Malone, and that Abbott will have the support of the solid Illinois delegation. On account of the well-remembered attitude of one of the gentlemen on the question of segregation in the Government departments, his boom is not being considered seriously by the busy slate-makers. For Recorder of Deeds there are almost as many candidates, and the names of Col. Lincoln Johnson, Col. Otis B. Duncan, J. Finley Wilson, Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, Thomas Fleming, Perry W. Howard and Gilchrist Stewart have been mentioned most favorably by the plum-tree decorators, but it is the general impression that a local man will function in this job. If so, there might at least be a possibility of developing some bright young man as a real estate title searcher, something that has not been done heretofore. But how Harris, Malone and Crossland, all from Missouri, and Abbott and Duncan, both from Illinois, can keep their political wires from crossing is a Chinese puzzle to the local dopesters. Then, too, there is the Ohio situation, with several disguised citizens to be chloroformed, and it is thought that Fleming will experience some difficulty in trying to nesthetize Charlie Cottrill, Harry Smith, Fred Patterson and our old friend Ralph Tyler, who made a wire sniff and is still doing business with his millionaire newspaper friend in Columbus. The most-talked-of candidates for Haiti are Emmett Scott and J, Welson Johnson, but with the Johnsonoom is being considered the probable influence of the National City bank of New York, which seems to ave everything in the Black Republic—except the Marines—nailed down and ready for delivery; and Scott, you new, has dedicated his life to educational work. No one wants to go to Liberia but Vernon; and he is on his way as a bishop of the great A. M. E. Church. The new bishop will probably look the place over and return in the next boat unless he catches the African fever or unless John R. Hawins forgets to send him a draft. The Washington Bee There are those who think that Fred Moore or Ernest Lyons will seek reappointments, but this is doubtful, because Moore is a very busy man just now trying to keep Marcus Garvey and George Harris from lasoing all of the denizens of San Juan Hill, and in regard to Dr. Lyons the late Geo. W. Ellis—but what is the use? As usual, Charlie Anderson will look after Gilchrist Stewart. There are rumors of candidates for other responsible positions, including the booms for Robert Church, R. L. Vann, William H. Lewis, Armond Scott, Sumner Furniss and Rosce Bruce, but the only person so far who has presented a constructive proposition is George E. Haynes, of the Bureau of Negro Economics, Department of Labor. Haynes, according to the appropriation bill already submitted to Congress, has asked for a Director of Negro Economics at $4,500, an assistant at $2,100, eight supervisors at $2,000 each, eight more at $1,860 each, seven assistant supervisors at $1,500 each, sixteen stenographers at $1,200 each, two at $1,080 each, two clerks at $1,200 each and one file clerk at $1,080. Other expenses asked for. bring the total appropriation up to $110,000. This bureau did splendid work during the war, and a bulletin showing the character of work done will soon be ready for distribution. There are no rumors yet concerning the candidacy of Col. Roscoe Simmons, of Chicago, Louisville and St. Louis, but it is thought that Editor Abbott or Phil Brown will soon place Roscoe in the running. COMMEMORATION OF Last Sunday evening at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church the Atlanta University Club of Washington celebrated the birthday of Edmund Asa Ware, founder and first president of Atlanta University. The exercises were attended by a large gathering of people which filled the auditorium of the church. Those taking part in the exercises were L. M. Hershaw, J. G. Hawkins, Mrs. Georgia D. Johnson, representing the alumni of the university, and Rev. D. Butler Pratt, dean of the Theological Department of Howard University. Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, grandson of Frederick Douglass, contributed a violin solo, and Mrs. Henry L. Grant, a vocal solo. Mrs. Georgia D. Johnson was not present to read the poem which she had written for the occasion, but Mrs. Fannie Howard Douglass read is most acceptably. The presiding officer of the meeting was T. M. Dent, president of the club, who presided with dignity. JAMES H. DABNEY. Returns to Duty—The Oldest and One of the Most Reliable Funeral Directors in Washington—An Expert in His Line of Business. James H. Dabney, the oldest and one of the most reliable funeral directors in the United States, has returned to duty and opened new quarters at 1306 H street northeast. On account of ill health, Mr. Dabney retired several years ago until he sufficiently regained his health to enable him to reopen his business, in which he is an expert. James E. Dabney is held in high esteem by the citizens of Washington, and he has rendered service to many of the leading citizens of this city. In point of service, Mr. Dabney is the oldest in Washington. His most celebrated funeral was that of the late B. K. Bruce, former United States Senator from Mississippi and Register of the Treasury. Mr. Dabney was assisted by his most competent wife, who supervised many of his funerals at that time. Mrs. Dabney was the first female funeral director and embalmer in this city and a woman of remarkable ability. She died in service at a tender age. She was a most lovable woman. She supervised all funerals of females. Mr. Dabney first opened his business on L street between Fourth and Fifth, and after several years he opened upon a larger scale on Third street between L street and New York avenue northwest. From there he moved temporarily to Third and K streets northwest, and this last place he surrendered to his friend, who is now doing a very successful business. Mr. Dabney has now established a new business. He has come out of retirement and his health has been restored. He now has a large and commendable establishment at 1306 H street northeast; where he has associated with him Mr. Thompson, a young and brilliant funeral director and embalmer, Both Messrs. Dabney and Thompson are now prepared to give, prompt and dignified service day or night. Mr. Dabney is too well known in this city to need an introduction by The Bee. His name has been a household word for years, and if you want artistic, prompt and satisfactory service, call Dabney and Thompson, Lincoln 376. THE DOUGLASS THEATRE. Dudley-Murray Corporation Making Headway. One of the finest theatres in the city, when completed, will be the Douglass Theatre, which will be erected on U street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets northwest. It will no doubt be the largest theatre in the United States. It is remarkable to see the progress the colored citizens in. Washington are making. There is thrift and perseverance among them. Their purchases within the past three years have been remarkable, and they continue to purchase properties for the benefit of the people. Stock in the Douglass Theatre will be a paying proposition. This theatre is to be erected by colored workmen with the money subscribed by colored citizens, and those behind this movement are men of integrity. Already the theatres that are being operated by Messrs. Dudley and the Murray brothers are paying institutions, as the public can see. The representatives of the Dudley-Murray Corporation are progressive men. Subscribe for stock now. Don't delay; the books will be closed in January. MAJOR GESSFORD, WILL YOU TAKE NOTICE? December 18, 1920. Editor The Washington Rec: There should be, along with this letter, nearly a hundred others, protesting with me against a thing I have just had the misfortune to witness. A policeman in a small car was chasing a delivery car down Thirteenth street. In the block between S and T streets the driver of the delivery car stopped, got out and escaped. The officer, when he arrived, found only a small, very much frightened colored boy on whom to veht his wrath. This he proceeded to do in true "cracker" style—shaking the boy, pulling him around and finally picking him up and throwing him into the back of the car he had commandeered. And, will you believe it, only one man out of a crowd of about fifty gentleman protested against the treatment that the child received? Of course, the women voice their sentiments, but what good does that do, when one is told, as I heard one man say, "Keep your mouth shut; it's not your funeral"? The young man was pushed aside by the officer, and when he made further protests was told to "get away from here. That's what's the matter with you-d—d Niggers now; you're too fresh." Still my crowd of gentlemen stood by, swallowed the insult, and the car drove off with the poor kid. And that is all, except this: What do you think would have happened to that officer if he had used such Southern methods and that despicable epithet at Seventh and T streets instead of Thirteenth and T? I know, for not so long ago I was protected there, from the advances of a white man, by real men. Has He Made Good?—His Theatrical Success. The question is sometimes asked, Has Rufus G. Byers, the theatrical promoter made good in his profession? Mr. Byers has made good and today he is one of the most practical and progressive theatrical promoters in this country, notwithstanding his ups and downs and impediments that were thrown in his path. Mr. Byers has the happy faculty of winning the plaudits and admiration of the masses, and especially those with whom he THE comes in personal contact. Some very flattering offers have been made to him by men who have thousands of dollars to spend in the erection of theatres. But at this time Mr. Byers is not thinking of making a change, because he has the confidence and support of his people. His work shows for itself and the people admire him for his progressiveness. The Bee alone is responsible for this article, and it is published without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Byers. His work deserves to be mentioned. CONVICTION REVERSED. Supreme Court of Arkansas Reverses Decision of Lower Court in Case of Six Men Condemned to Die. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, recently announced an important victory in the case of the colored men condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. The Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas has reversed the decision of the lower courts condemning the men to death. This is the second reversal by the State Supreme Court of Arkansas in these cases, and announcement was made by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that the fight will be continued in the courts until justice is had. The Supreme Court of Arkansas, in reversing the decision of the lower court, held: "1. That discrimination against the colored men, because Negroes were barred from the grand and petit juries trying them, was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and of the Civil Rights Act of 1875; "2. That the lower courts had erred in refusing to hear evidence on a motion to set aside the regular panel of the jury." Word comes from Arkansas that the six men whose death sentences the Supreme Court refused to review will probably not be executed, pending determination of the cases recently reversed. COMMUNITY CENTER BAND. The winter concert by the Community Center Band at the Howard Theatre last Sunday evening brought a large and appreciative audience. This band is under the direction of Prof. James E. Miller, and it bids fair to become one of the most celebrated musical aggregations in this country. The program was artistically arranged, and each number was well rendered. The entire membership was tastily dressed in regulation uniforms. The following program was rendered: Part I: March, "Community Centers," James E. Miller; waltz, "La Belle Cordova," F. Luscomb; "Who Knows?" P. Dunbar and E. Ball; overture, "Morning, Noon and Night," E. V. Suppe; bassoon solo, "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," by James E. Miller, accompanied by Sumner Williams; quintet, "Rose in the Bud," by Dorothy Foster, Colbert Dockins, Williams Colbert, Olden Miller; "Barcarole," J. Offenbach; razzy trombone; "Humoresque," Anton Dvorak; march, "American Cadet," R. B. Hall. Part II: March, "Second Regiment," R. B. Hall; selection, "Macushla," Ernest Ball; xylophone, "Whispering," William Jones, accompanied by the band; "Cavatine," J. Raff; overture, "Bridal Rose," C. Lavallee; cornet solo, Master Ralph Jiles, the 6-year-old wonder; sextet, Doonizetti; march, "Stars and Stripes Forever," Sousa; "The Star Spangled Banner." GARFIELD NOTES. The Christmas spirit is very much in evidence among the younger set of Garfield, D. C. *** The Garfield Citizens' Association met at the James A. Garfield School last Thursday and carried on much business for the betterment of the community. *** The members of the Allen A. M. E. Church wre favored by a special sermon by Rev. J. A. Lee, of Clarksburg, Md. His remarks were very timely and much enjoyed by the congregation. At 6:30 the Allen C. E. League met, with Mr. William H. Dabney presiding. There were many speakers, among them being Rev. M. W. Traverse, Mr. William Smalls and Mrs. Alice Proctor. *** The sick of the community are improving very nicely, and an early recovery is hoped for all of them. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS Mrs. Irene Franklin, of Atlantic City, who was the recent house guest of Miss Catherine Scott, has returned to her home by way of New York City. *** Miss Marie Goodman, of Atlantic City, spent Tuesday of last week as the guest of Mrs. Annie Allen. *** Mr. and Mrs. Foley are spending the winter with their daughter, Mrs. Josephine Powell. *** Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Tyler, formerly of this town, are at present occupying the Gaines home. The Fairfax County Colored Teachers' Association met at the Falls Church School on Saturday morning for the purpose of reorganization. Officers for the year were elected as follows: President, Mrs. M. E. Henderson; vice-president, Mrs. M. E. Holland; secretary, Mrs. E. F. Robinson; treasurer, Mrs. C. B. Thomas. At the end of the session lunchon was served by a few of the patrons. Mrs. Mamie Walker, Mrs. Ethel Johnson, Mrs. Alice Williams and Miss Arline Johnson, of Washington, D. C., were the Sunday guests of Mrs. William Henderson and Mrs. A. Allen. *** Miss Catherine Scott and Mr. Franklin were the dinner guests of Mrs. C. B. Thomas and Mrs. Ollie Ewing. *** Keep in mind the public school Christmas entertainment on Thursday, December 23, at 8 p. m. It will be held at the Methodist Church. Admission 15 cents. In order to close the year without a deficit, the Fairfax County Branch inaugurated a contribution drive which has resulted in over $26 being obtained. Among those who gave $1 were: J. B. Tinner, Rev. Powell, Mrs. Powell, G. Campbell, C. Tinner, Mrs. Carver Jones, H. Edwards, H. Craig, Winson Tinner, Mrs. C. V. Tinner, Mrs. Myrtha Lee, Mr. Charles Coates, Mr. A. T. Shirley, Mr. C. Honesty, Mrs. Francis Coates. Seminary Local contributed $11.75. Many have not subscribed and will contribute later. *** At the teachers' meeting on Saturday a desire was expressed by the teachers in attendance to develop study of government and citizenship as well as other local problems in the school districts of the county under the direction of the teachers of the public schools. Mr. A. T. Shirley and Mr. J. B. Tinner spoke interestingly of the work of the N. A. A. C. P. in the county and urged its support. * * * It might be of interest to know that five Socialist votes were cast in the November election, and we believe by colored voters. Colored men and colored women are frankly discussing socialism, even though there are Negroes who advise against it. With Europe seething with economic thought and the poor laboring classes pushing forward and upward, nobody but fools would advise the American Negro to remain ignorant of this big movement. Watch for the "Who's Who" in the Falls Church paragraphs every week, beginning next week. AT THE HOWARD THEATRE. We all have heard about the great singers of today; also yesterday. But in our city next week we have the one of all the most-talked-of women who ever parted her lips to pour forth melodies of the kind of songs that have made her famous all over this country, Mamie Smith is the person you are reading about. She is the only colored girl that sings for records, which we all like to hear. She is the star for one of the largest concerns in the United States, and, please take note, she is the highest-paid singer this firm has, and there are several recognized white stars under contract to the same firm. Her salary next year will be close to $15,000. That's going some for a girl of our race. Now she has an entire company to help her entertain the public, and she has been packing the theatres to the door every place she appears. Last Monday night in Norfolk, Va., 11,000 paid to hear her and her company of "real jazz hounds." MAJOR GESSFORD. The attention of Major Gessford is called to the conduct of the officers who beat up a colored boy last week without cause or provocation. Two colored boys were beat up this and last week. Too many Southern "crackers" are being appointed on the police force. REV. WILLBANKS. Rev. Willbanks returned from his Southern trip last week and moved into his new ten-thousand-dollar home.

Colored and White Artists Win Favor in Song Cycle at Hampton. Revella Hughes, of Huntington, W. Va., soprano, and Harry Delmore, of Boston, tenor, joined recently, with two white artists—Elizabeth Lennox, contralto, and Jerome Swinford, bass-baritone, both of New York—in presenting at Hampton Institute, before a large audience, "In a Persian Garden," a song cycle for four solo voices, the music for which was written by Liza Lehmann and the words for which were selected from Fitzgerald's translation of the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam. The piano accompaniments were played by Mrs. R. Nathaniel Dett (Helen Elise Smith Dett). Miss Hughes sang "A Thousand Years and More" and "I'm So. Glad Trouble Don't Last Alway," both written and played by Mr. Dett, who had made the arrangements for this successful concert. Mr. Delmore sang "Call Me No More," by Cadman, and "Questa o Quella" ("Mid the Fair Throng") from Verdi's "Rigoleto." Mrs. Dett played "The Trout" (Schubert-Heller). Mr. Swinford, who during the World War was placed in, charge of the music in the Fifth Naval Glee Club, sang "Vision Fugitive" from Massenet's "Herodine" and "O Come, My Love." Miss Lennox, who is a gifted concert and oratorio contralto; and who is now a soloist in the First Presbyterian Church of New York, sang "Adieu Forets" from Tschaikowski's "Jeanne d'Arc" and "The Fairy Pipers." All the concert numbers won hearty applause. "In a Persian Garden" was excellently presented. The solo and quartet singing were done with effectiveness and artistic finish. Miss Hughes was for some time director of music at the A. and M. College, Orangeburg, S. C. She studied to be a professional pianist, but soon showed that she had a remarkable voice. Some of her time recently has been devoted to the Girls' Department of the Harlem Community House in New York. Mr. Delmore received his voice training under Arthur J. Hubbard, of Boston, Mass., who trained Roland W. Hayes. He fulfilled the promises which have been made for him by R. W. Hayes, who had said: "Mr. Delmore is the possessor of an unusually good, natural voice, with ample dramatic possibilities, wide range and beautiful quality." Local Branch Negro Musicians Planning Big Public Treat. The Washington Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians held a very interesting meeting on UNCONSTITUTIONAL SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN OUGHT TO BE OUSTED By Joseph C. Manning. Members of Congress who ignore this condition simply violate their solemn oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States. They know that Friday evening, December 10, 1920, at 902 T street northwest. Mrs. Gregoria Goins, president, opened the meeting with remarks, after which the following selections were rendered: Miss Jennie Williamson, piano solo; Miss Johnson, pupil of Miss Estelle Pinkney, piano solo. A pointed address on the "Negro's Place in American Music" was made by Mrs. M. Albert, which has historical and very interesting. Mrs. Goins then called for suggestions from the members for the good of the local, expressing a desire that something should be done to arouse local interest in the branch. General comment was made on the fact that our public school music teachers withheld their co-operation in attendance and activity in the advancement of local music matters as a whole, excepting under their own jurisdiction, and also tended to rap the lethargy existing among local music teachers and musicians in general. Well, this is as it should be, as we know of no city in the entire country where there exists less local pride and unity among musicians as here in the Nation's Capital. The local branch tried hard to solve this unreasonable problem, but adjournment came before it could be unraveled. Hope was and is not lost, however, as the local went on record for a big public musical treat in the near future, together with a membership campaign drive that ought to bring about some local stimulus and pride in Washington's own Negro musicians. Among those present were Henry Grant, national president; Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Mrs. B. Page, Mrs. F. H. Douglass, recording secretary; J. M. Johnson, corresponding secretary; Mr. R. D. Carlton Dorsey and Wellington A. Adams. The choirs of Asbury M. E. Church and Second Baptist Church announce a special Christmas musical program to be rendered Sunday, December 26, 1920, at.8 p. m. *** A Solfeggio—Sight Singing School, for choir members, male and female singers and lovers of singing in general, will open on Tuesday evening, January 4, 1921, at 8:30 o'clock, at Columbia Conservatory of Music, 1911 Ninth Street northwest. Class is limited to twenty-five persons, and once thereafter every three months a new class will be organized. Singers should take advantage of this splendid opportunity to learn sight reading and a knowledge of the fundamentals in music. Make your application at once in order to get in the first class. Office hours for applicants are from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., daily, and on Wednesday from 8 to 10 p.m., each week. the provisions of the Constitution are openly violated and go along in acquiescence because it has become commonplace so to do because of the long and continued flagrant violation. Congressman George Holden Tinkham, of Massachusetts, has opened fire on this situation, and he ought to be upheld by public sentiment in having this issue met. "IN A PERSIAN GARDEN." Presented at Hampton—Lehmann Song Cycle for Solo Voices Wins Applause—Visiting Artists Include Revella Hughes, Elizabeth Lennox, Harry Delmore and Jerome Swinford. Revella Hughes, of Huntington, W.

Mr. Delmore sang "Call Me No More," by Cadman, and "Questa o. Quella" ("Mid the Fair Throng"), from Verdi's "Rigoletto." Mrs. Dett played "The Trout" (Schubert-Heller). Mr. Swinford, who during the World. War was placed in charge of the music in the fifth naval district and who organized the first and only official Navy Glee Club, sang "Vision Fugitive," from Massenet's "Herodiae," and "O Come, my Love," Miss Lennox, who is a The Best Place to Eat Everything First-Class Joseph S.

The commissioners who were appointed to inquire into the problems of village education in India, according to Sir Michael E. Sadler, vice chancellor of the University of Leeds, "suggest that each mission or area should send selected persons (tried missionaries or Indians) to America for a year to teach in the atmosphere of Hampton or Tuskegee, to visit a number of 'socialized schools,' and to take university courses in rural education and rural sociology. By this means the new spirit in American rural education may be conveyed into India." IN DENMARK. W. H. Goodrich, formerly of this city, when last heard from was in Copenhagen, Denmark.

C. The Bee—Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office—Main 4078 Entered at the Postoffice at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMEBR 18, 1920. THEY SEEK US. Many of the discriminatory laws and regulations were enacted under a Republican administration and by Republicans. "Jim-crow" theatres were set apart, in many instances by men who called themselves Republicans. The Chase Theatre, under the management of Mr. Chase, known today as Keith's Theatre; the National Theatre, under Rapley; and several moving-picture houses—namely, one on Ninth street between D street and Pennsylvania avenue and another known as the Happyland—were once managed by white Republicans, one of whom was a National Republican Committeeman. They inaugurated "jim crowism" and all others followed, which necessarily forced colored men to establish their own theatres, and today colored movies are springing up throughout the city. Much credit is due to Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, the Murray brothers and S. H. Dudley. After forcing colored patrons out, there is now a movement on foot to erect theatres in colored neighborhoods by white men to catch the colored people. Now, if the colored citizens of Washington have any sense at all they will pass these theatres by and direct their attention to those theatres that are already in operation and those that will soon be erected by colored corporations. If the colored man's money was not good enough to be accepted by these former "jim-crow" operators it is not good enough now for him to purchase stock to advance the interest of these new corporations that are erecting theatres exclusively for colored people. The Bee warns its people against these new fly-catchers and advises them to support their own enterprises. Let us support our own, and if there is any "jim crowing" to be done, we advise our people to do it themselves, since we have been forced out of movies that are operated exclusively for whites. The colored people have been forced to go to themselves, so now let the white movies remain to themselves. The colored citizens of Washington are doing very well at present, and it is hoped, that the forced "jim-crow" colored citizens will profit by what has been forced upon them. See? WE ARE COMING. The colored Americans have much to be thankful for. Notwithstanding their ups and downs, their oppression and the enactment of discriminatory laws, segregation and educational curtailment, they are coming. They propose to obey the laws of their country and thank those who help them. While the color of their skin and nationality force them in "jim-crow" cars, by the inferior whites, the better element of the cultured whites know no man by the color of his skin. Religion among many of the hypocritical is a mockery. God who made all nations will right all wrongs in course of time. No wrong will continue to exist. There will be a day when right is bound to prevail. Oppression may last for a time; innocent victims may continue to be burned at the stake; the accused may be prosecuted and persecuted without judge or jury, but right is bound to prevail in course of time. With these impediments that confront a race of people, they are coming. Their emancipation has caused the prejudicial class to stand up and take notice. The land that the ex-slave cultivated for his former master is now becoming the property of the ex-slave. The colored citizen who is being driven from the South and his property confiscated is being redeemed in the North. In the District of Columbia there are many colored Americans who have been forced to leave the South who are erecting monuments to be handed down to posterity. They have reasons to be proud of their progress. Before many more moons the South will look down upon their injured and outraged blacks and become ashamed of the wrongs that have been inflicted upon the faithful black allies, who have nursed, cared for and fed the wives and children of the once Southern brigadiers. The black man is coming, and his wives, and children will rise above the wrongs that are being imposed. Watch the black man, because he is coming, and if President-elect Harding does his duty the colored American will shine. YOU ARE WRONG, EDITOR' MITCHELL. Our esteemed co-laborer, John Mitchell, Jr., editor of that valued contemporary, the Richmond Planet, in his last week's issue takes us, gently, to task for assuming to say that the selection of Henry Lincoln Johnson to head the now defunct "vanity committee," erroneously assumed to have directed the colored vote in the recent presidential campaign; because of his being a "Southern" man, was a mistake. Editor Mitchell charges us, because of our criticism of Johnson's selection, with raising a sectional issue. Lest it be forgot, we will say to Editor Mitchell that our forebear's luminous eyes first peeped out upon the possibilities of life, as well as its ills, in the same State that germinated the luminating editor of the Planet, and therefore we, too, can lay claim to being a "Southerner" by birth, and because of this, have "a feeling" for Southern colored men that is akin to "blood is thicker than water." In going over the list of men, for the past half a century, who were selected by Republicans to pose and function as the Chief Poobah, or directing head of the campaign committee, we fail to find a single who claimed a voteless Southern State as his habitat. We claim—and that, too, with some logic—that it would have been just as proper to have selected a white man to serve as national chairman for some "rotten borough" of the South as to have selected Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, to direct the colored voters of the Nation. Our erudite and esteemed Editor Mitchell refers to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as a leader who resided in the South, and intimates that the late Dr. Washington and Henry Lincoln Johnson "stood squarely on the same platform." To couple the name of the late Dr. Washington with that of Henry Lincoln Johnson is like associating merit with demerit. The first was a constructive leader, however much some may disagree with his conciliating efforts. The latter, Mr. Johnson, is, and has been, a mere selfish primmer—a political puppet, as the evidence of his having accepted $9,000 from the Lowden people and as brought out in the congressional investigation proves. The late Dr. Washington built an enduring race monument. He planted the seed from which has sprung up all over the Southland, and even in the Northland, achieving colored men and women who forever and a day will pronounce him blessed. Although he came up from the sweet fragrance of the soil, he blazed a path to success for many. As a lawyer, trained for that profession, Mr. Johnson has devoted his talents largely to following the political will-o-the-whisp for self-aggrandizement. As Recorder of Deeds here in the District of Columbia he is best known to fame as "the colored official who permitted a white subordinate to run his office." The Bee since its birth has fought and contended for equal rights, privileges and opportunities for our brothers who still reside in the South, and we will continue so to do. We stand for men like Editor Mitchell in the South; who, using the tools begrudgingly given them by the white South, achieved for their race and are now achieving for their race. We oppose men of Henry Lincoln Johnson's stripe, whether South or North, who are mere selfish, cheap politicians—fellows who can point to nothing in their past as a criterion for race achievement in the future. The Bee and its editor longs for the day when our brothers in the South, secured in the right of suffrage, will be just as available for directing the political fortunes of the colored vote as any in the North. And The Bee longs for the day when a "$9,000 Georgia Peach" will be considered ineligible to even arbitrarily pose as a "leader" of achieving men, South or North. We would not exchange a single John Mitchell for a world of Henry Lincoln Johnsons. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Republican party has won a record-breaking victory. This is a good thing if it shall result in the death of the Ku Klux party. If it shall not result in the disbandment of that vicious party or does not neutralize the pernicious influences of that party inimical to the colored people, the Republican landslide will have been a barren victory for the colored people. One of the special forces that worked the recent Republican victory was the practically unanimous colored vote in every State where colored citizens could vote. The colored masses supported the Republican ticket despite the advice and example of some of their most eminent colored brothers, who seemed either indifferent about the result or to favor the Socialist or the Farm-Labor party. The masses are often sagacious, often hard-headed; they are often wiser than their wise men. The colored masses in the recent election evidently had one single object, and that was to swat to the death the Ku Klux party. They said, as it were: "We'll build our tent on this camp ground; And give old Satan another round." But the concerted supported by the colored people of the Republican ticket meant little more than a wish to deal a death blow to the Ku Klux party; it did not mean full satisfaction with the Republican party. At the opening of the campaign the colored voters asked of and received from the Republican leaders and candidates certain general and specific promises. We printed those promises and advised the colored people to trust them. It now remains to be seen whether the promises are to be kept. After March 4th next on the Republican party will rest many grave responsibilities—among them financial problems, international questions, and not the least of those grave responsibilities will be the righting of sundry wrongs suffered by the colored people. At the opening of the campaign The Bee printed a list of demands of reforms in the interest of the colored people. We shall see to it that the Republican party does not forget them. DR. JOHN R.

C. --- 50 Years Ugo a young man who practiced medicine in a rural district became famous and was called in consultation in many towns and cities because of his success in the treatment of disease. This was Dr. Pierce who afterward moved to Buffalo, N.Y. He made up his mind to place some of his medicines before the public, and he put up what he called his "Favorite Prescription," and placed it with the druggists in every state in the Union. For fifty years Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has sold more largely throughout the United States than any other medicine of like character. It's the testimony of thousands of women that it has benefited or entirely eradicated such distressing ailments as women are prone to. It is now sold by druggists in tablet form as well as liquid. STRASBURG, VA.—"Some years ago I was in a run-down, weakened condition. Our doctor could do me no good and I felt discouraged.

E As usual, the faithful Red Cross workers were at Arlington Cemetery to attend the burial services of the soldiers' bodies who have recently been brought from France. Four colored boys were buried—one from Dillon, S. C.; one from Elloree, S. C.; one from Canton, Va., and one from Georgia. The father of Thad Bethea, of Dillon, S. C., and a lifelong friend of young Bethea were present at Arlington. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Mrs. Katie Jenkins, Mrs. C. Syphax, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. E. Bledsoe, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Vawter and Mrs. Proctor represented the Red Cross. The flowers for decorating the graves were sent in the name of Mrs. Lattimore, the mother of Mrs. Pelham, whose funeral was at the same hour as the boys' at Arlington. Mrs. Lattimore was very fond of the soldier boys. She was twice the widow of veterans in the Civil War. Her first husband, Comrade Redmond (Mrs. Pelham's father), fell at Petersburg, Va., He was serving under General Grant. It was, indeed, a fitting tribute to the soldiers of the late war. "This Institution Means a Great Deal to the Country-It is a Great Thing to be Educated, Useful Americans." Hon. Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of State, who is on his way to Brazil, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, spoke on the eve of his sailing from Hampton Roads to the Hampton Institute workers and students on "America's Opportunity." Secretary Colby was accompanied by Maj. Gen. Adelbert Cronkite, commanding officer of the Third Army Corps. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, stated that he was proud and happy to discover that, although Hampton Institute could not welcome Senator Harding, a distinguished member of the coming administration, it could welcome Secretary Colby, a distinguished member of the present administration. Secretary Colby said: "This is an institution that I have always felt a great interest in. I knew its founder, General Armstrong, who was a great man, when I was an undergraduate at Williams.College. I was taught to look up to General Armstrong. I was instructed as to the great work he had done. Now, as I come along into elder years, it is permitted to me to see this great fruition and to see realized the vision that inspired him in the early, bitter struggles he had to found and sustain this institution in its early days. "This institution means a great deal to the country and to the future of the country. You are learning here FUL SKIN PALMER'S WHITENER MACY COMPANY TA, GA. Street N. W. OR WASHINGTON, D. C. W.

"The place of America among the nations depends upon the thoroughness with which the youth of America learns the lessons of self-restraint, of application, of mastery. "I do not care in what field it is a man's work may lie, so long as he does it well he is a good citizen; and if he does it very well, he has earned a real distinction. "Everything you do well is transmitted into power. Everything you do ill will dog your footsteps through life as a sort of haunting weakness. "It is a great thing to be young. It is a great thing to be Americans. It is a great thing to be educated and useful Americans. That is your opportunity. "I hope it may be given to you to realize, in quite as full measure as it is given to mortals to realize their hopes, the fine expectations you cherish in your breasts." The Hampton students sang for Secretary Colby and General Cronkite some of the well-known Negro religious folk songs. DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGES TION CURE.
