THE COLORED POLITICIANS ARE ON THE RAMPAGE. THE FIELD IS STOCKED. VOL. XLI. NO. 31 ARE THE COLORED POLITI THE RAMPAGE. STOCKED. THE POLITICIANS MEET. Map Out a Line of Operation—What They Want and the Offices Selected—Old-timers Few—Cohen, of Louisiana, Will Expect Recognition. Phil H. Brown Will Be on Hand. Right after the holidays leading colored politicians will begin to arrive in the city. The Whitelaw Hotel will be the headquarters for the clans. Among the first arrivals will be Gilchrist Stewart. He wants a job and wants it badly. New York has its own candidates, and quite likely Fred R. Moore will be the first to demand recognition from that State. He is quite strong with the leading politicians. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the "Georgia peach," will hardly be recognized. If he gets anything, it will not be in this city. It will be remembered that the present administration asked for his resignation before the expiration of his term of office. His removal was not on account of politics, and neither did the administration oppose him personally. The local colored politicians are keeping quiet. Whitefield McKinley, who was the collector of the port of Georgetown, is weighed in the balance and found wanting. He will not get a peep in. There will be no Ralph W. Tyler to pull him through against the will of the people. There will be no colored politician close enough to President-elect Harding to land McKinley, who was always a nonentity. He is big in his own estimation only. Emmett J. Scott, James A. Cobb and Thomas L. Jones, will be close to the throne. There is some talk of making Mr. Scott Register of the Treasury and Cobb the Auditor for the Navy Department, the office formerly held by Ralph W. Tyler. Thomas L. Jones, who has a brilliant record as a lawyer, may in all probability succeed John F. Costello as Recorder of Deeds. So far as the side-show candidates are concerned, they will not be found in the trash basket. There will be two dozen candidates from the State of New Jersey, one dozen from Pennsylvania and a few from Ohio. In the District of Columbia J. A. Cobb and, T. L. Jones stand the best show to be recognized. Mr. Cobb has a good official record as Assistant United States Attorney to United States Attorney John A. Laskey, who was removed to make room for a Democrat. The entire local government will be recognized. It is doubtful whether the Senate will confirm one of Mr. Wilson's nominations. President-elect Harding and the Republican Senate will adopt similar methods to those adopted by Mr. Wilson when he came into power. Mr. Taft nominated Capt. James F. Oyster and Cuno Rudolph as Commissioners of the District of Columbia. The Democratic Senate refused to confirm them. Both men are entitled to renomination by Mr. Harding. Neither of the two Commissioners recently nominated should be confirmed. National Committeeman Colladay will have more power than any national committeeman that ever represented the District of Columbia. He is the recognized head of the Republican party in the District of Columbia. METHODIST BISHOP SAILS FOR LIBERIA New York City, Dec. 20—Bishop Matthew Wesley Clair, one of the first two Afro-American bishops elected to full rank of general superintendent in the Methodist Episcopal Church by the General Conference at Des Moines, Iowa, last May, sailed on December 15 from New York aboard the steamship, "Edba" for Monrovia, Liberia, where he will take up his Episcopal residence. The Washington Bee Bishop Clair was formerly pastor of the Asbury M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., and during that time he rebuilt the edifice and raised the membership to its present huge proportions. With Bishop R. E. Jones, of New Orleans, he was elected bishop at Des Moines. He has been assigned to Liberia to fill the place made vacant by the death of Bishop A. P. Camphor, of Monrovia, who died last winter in this country. Bishop Camphor was a missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Missionary bishops were abolished at the last General Conference, and all bishops of every race are now elected to full rank. Bishop Clair is accompanied to Monrovia by Mrs. Clair, Dr John H. Reed, of Liberia, and Mr Cyril Henry, of Montreal. Dr. Reed is a native of Baton Rouge, La., and a graduate of New Orleans University. For a time he was pastor of Wesley Chapel, Little Rock, Ark. He went to Liberia in 1905 as a missionary under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was soon made president of the College of West Africa maintained in Monrovia by American Methodists. He succeeded the late Bishop Camphor in that position. He was also editor of Liberip and West Africa, a publication devoted to religious life in that country. In 1914 Dr. Reed took out his citizenship papers in Liberia and was appointed principal of Donovan Institute under the Liberian Government. He is also tax assessor for the city of Monrovia. He has made five trips to this country and has been ministerial delegate from Liberia to the Methodist Episcopal General Conferences of 1912, 1916 and 1920. Dr Reed will continue in educational work in Liberia as superintendent of education. Mr. Cyril Henry is a native of Jamaica and a graduate of the English High School of Boston. He received his degree of bachelor of scientific agriculture from Ontario Agricultural College in 1919. He is going to Liberia as an agricultural missionary under the Methodist-Board of Foreign Missions. He will take charge of the industrial school, and demonstration farm to be established at White Plains, Liberia, under the new Methodist centenary program. Out of the twelve millions of colored Americans in the United States not one has been invited to Marion, Ohio, to consult the President-elect on the race question. Great Jehovah, what a calamity and an aspersion on a race of true, loyal and patriotic Americans! Will it continue to be thus? The "rebel" South is more preferred than the loyal "black" North McKINLEY MEMORIAL Last Sunday was one of the most glorious days in the history of the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church. The pastor preached at 11 a. m. The music rendered by the choir was beautiful. Very interesting remarks were made by Prof. J. Silas Harris, of Kansas City; Prof. Ray, of the public schools of the District of Columbia, and Prof. O. G. Granderson. At 4 p. m. Rev. James E. Willis, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, preached one of the most powerful sermons that was ever heard in Washington. The choir of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church rendered excellent music. The song service in the evening, under the direction of Miss Nalor, Mrs. Nelson and others was lovely. Mr. Dryor presided at the piano. Rev. M. Fry made a short address. The people are looking for ward to the last communion of the WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 25, 1920 year at McKinley which will be held at 3:30 p. m. next Sunday. Several churches will take part in this service. The sermon will be preached by Dr. Alex. Willbanks, the world's greatest evangelist, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist Church. Mrs. Mason Fry will give an Adam and Eve rally at night. Rev. Lamkins will preach at 11 a. m. THE DOUGLASS THEATRE The new Douglass Theatre Corporation will begin building operations next May. Now is the time to purchase your share, in one, of the best theatre companies in the United States. You should not hesitate to purchase stock in this company. The ground has been purchased, which takes in almost a quarter of a square. There is every reason to believe that the Dudley-Murray Corporation that will erect this new theatre is one of the most substantial in the United States, and there is every reason to believe that a dollar invested in this corporation will be two dollars earned. Since Mr. Dudley established his citizenship in this city he had added greatly to its industry. The Murray brothers come in for their share of the city's industrial advancement, which shows that the corporation is sound and reliable. A share in this theatre gives the shareholder a financial interest in the theatre. This is a great enterprise, and it will be a monument to the city of Washington. The Bee extends an invitation to the citizens to visit the vicinity and the ground upon which, this great theatre is to be erected and be convinced for themselves that their money will be well invested. RALPH W. TYLER IN THE CITY. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, the famous war correspondent, arrived in this city during the week on business. Mr. Tyler is looking-and feeling well. He was greeted by a large number of old friends. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. A successful song service was held at the Baptist Church Sunday night at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Pastor's Study Club. Those who took part in the program, included the Boys' Chorus Club, jubilee songs; Mrs. Martha Wade, solo; Mrs. Scott, reading; Mrs. L. Dixon, reading; Mr. Hubert Sutton and sons, quartet; Mr. R. Ford, solo. *** The oyster supper held at the Baptist Church Friday night by the Mothers' Council was successful in both patronage and financially. The reputation of the council's suppers is widespread, and this one was up to the usual mark as to both quantity and quality. *** Miss Ethel Powell, who has been on the sick list for several days, has again resumed her school duties. *** The Christmas exercises of the Methodist Church will take place on Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. The exercises of the Baptist Church will be held on Monday night at 8 o'clock. Rev. Hamilton Bowser preached at the morning service at the Baptist Church last Sunday. *** Mr. Talbert Thomas was absent from his work several days last week dut to slight illness. *** Master Richard Williams entertained a few of his friends at his home recently. *** Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson are the proud parents of a fine son. *** Mr. Jim Lee spent several days in town last week, having been sent for on account of the illness of his moth- Mrs. Emma Denny was hostess to the Mothers' Council on Tuesday of last week. *** The Sons and Daughters of Liberty gave a reception at the residence of Mrs. Emma Scott last Thursday night in appreciation of all those who assisted in their program Thanksgiving night. *** Miss Daisy Thomas was a visitor to the town Sunday. The Study Club met at the schoolhouse Thursday night and studied the chapters, entitled "Protection of Life and Liberty of Peoples" and "The Schools of the Peoples." Discussion followed in consideration of the things necessary to improve the schools in our town. More teachers and fewer grades per teacher, a better school building, better paid teachers of the race in the community. With education of the individual colored child costing the State between $2 and $3 and the white child $9, too many of our school patrons and teachers are contented and satisfied. A study of comparative conditions breeds intelligent discontent. The next meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. and Study Club occurs at the schoolhouse on Wednesday night, January 5, 1921. Who's #7 in Falls Church JOSEPH B. TINNER—A well-known worker in matters racial and inter-racial. He is president of the School League, president of the Fairfax County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and is prominent in the Odd Fellows, the Methodist Church and all civic affairs. He is a stone mason by trade, having constructed some of the most beautiful works in masonry about Falls Church. His wife is well known in church and civic circles. He has two sons and a married daughter. He is an able speaker. He is a large reader and studies to keep abreast of the times. He is never afraid to take a stand for what he considers right in face of serious opposition from his own people or from the other race. He has the respect of the leading citizens, white and colored. His interests are broad and his views and acts progressive. Any community would be proud to number him in its population. GROWTH OF THE MOTHERS PENSION MOVEMENT. Forty out of the forty-eight states have now adopted some form of mothers' pension, according to facts made public recently the annual report of the chief of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor they have recognized the principle that children should not be taken from their mothers because of poverty alone. The rapid extension of the mothers' pension movement indicates the general belief of the country in the paramount value of home life and a mother's care. However, although large grants have been made in many of our States, the amounts in general are far too small. The increased cost of living has not been met and the full purposes of the law is not attained. Some of the States are now making careful studies of increased costs so that allowances may respond to the higher prices. The systems of administration vary widely in the different States. So also do the amounts of the allowances and the methods of supervision. The Children's Bureau points the necessity of making a careful investigation of the methods in use in all the States so that the country may be given the benefits of all the experience which has been gained through the operation of these laws. A FAREWELL RECEPTION. Miss Claire Gooding, missionary from the Shiloh Baptist Church, who sailed on Wednesday, December 15 for Monrovia; Liberia, West Africa, was given a touching farewell on Thursday evening, December 9, at a meeting held at the church under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society in her honor. The meeting was largely attended, many persons from other cities being present to witness the ceremonies and to say goodbye. Among those present and participating were the following: Rev. C. S. Brown, president of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Missionary Convention, Winston, N. C.; Rev. A. A. Graham, corresponding secretary, Lott Carey Convention, Phoebus, Va.; Rev. W. H. Stokes, editor of the Lott Carey Herald, Richmond, Va.; Rev. Walter H. Brooks; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. Taylor, evangelist; Rev. Colson, evangelist; Rev. J. M. Waldron, pastor of the church; Miss Jennie L. Peck; Mrs. J. H. Randolph, president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Lott Carey Convention; Mrs. A. C. Williams, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention; Miss Jennie Sumtomsie, missionary, Liberia, and Miss Frances missionary, Haiti. The meeting was full of interest from the start, and the enthusiasm increased as it progressed. The speeches were delivered with force and earnestness. One striking feature of the program was a chorus of young ladies from the National Training School for Women and Girls, who rendered two selections that were greatly enjoyed. The center of attraction was the missionary, Miss Gooding, who responded to the many good things that had been said and done by the speakers and friends. She began by relating the history of her early life in Barbadoes, West Indies. She told of her visit to the United States, her training, and her decision for the foreign field. The sad story of breaking home ties and going out in full trust in God brought tears to the eyes of the audience. Miss Gooding will be missed in Shilloh, where she spent the greater part of her stay in America working among the juniors in the Christian Endeavor, she being a midsural trainer of children; and the ear to of her labors will be seen grow up will follow her exam as follows: Sunday School, $127; general collection, $28; Chur, $285. $100. the closing prayer was offered for the missionary by Deacon J. S. Branom; the hymn, "Blessed Be the Tie that Binds," was sung, being led by Shiloh's splendid choir; and benediction by the pastor brought the meeting to a close. EDWARD N. LAWS DEAD. Edward N. Laws, of 27 Demarest avenue, Englewood, N. J., passed into the great beyond on November 29, 1920, at 6:45 p. m., at the Roosevelt Hospital, New York City. He had been ill for the past six months and was 43 years of age. He led a Christian life and died in the fullest faith of God Almighty, who was his great salvation. He was an Odd Fellow, being a past noble grand, and had filled other important offices. He was also a member of the Household and Grand Masters' Council. He was active in all of his lodges up to the time of his death. Mr. Laws leaves a dear mother, one brother and one sister to mourn him, together with a'deyoted wife, Bessie A. Laws, who was at his bedside at the time of his death. Mr. Laws was highly respected in this community, being identified in work with some of the richest families of Englewood. He was loved by all who knew him. He had been a church member for the past eighteen years, working actively, and was very useful. His funeral was held from the Bethany Presbyterian Church on December 3. 1920. Rev. T. J. Harris officiated, assisted by Rev. W. R. Lawton, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Interment was in Brookside Cemetery. ment was in Brookside Cemetery. This great character will be greatly missed in the community, as he was held in high esteem by all who had the pleasure of knowing him in life. BECKLEY CAN GET HIM. Feels Sure He Can Apprehend, the Murderer of Dr. Brown if Assigned the Task—Why Not Accept Offer? The Police Department is just as far from the apprehension of the murderer of Dr. Brown as it ever was. Those who are on the case have not the slightest clue as to who committed the murder of Dr. Brown. Ex-Sergeant Detective Beckley, who was the best detective that has ever been at headquarters, stated to a representative of The Bee some weeks ago that he could apprehend the murderer of Dr. Brown if he is reinstated on the force and assigned to the case. If he fails he will make the Police Department a present of one thousand dollars and relinquish his new commission. The Bee stated Sergt. Beckley's offer to Major Gessford, and he stated if Mr. Beckley was a good citizen he would not ask for a commission. He has the authority as a good citizen to run down the murderer. This may all be true, but The Bee knows that no man without authority to arrest, without a commission from the department, has any right to enter a citizen's home without authority or without a warrant. It would be a very easy matter for the department to specially assign Sergeant Beckley to this particular case, and see if he can make good his offer. Will the Police Department accept? There have been all kinds of wild goose stories published that thetest pects have been captured. Whom it fake was the man in cusserer was a was stated was the wives. The next bigamist with the wings, no doubt. suspect will DOING WELL. Editor The Bee: Permit me space enough in your valuable paper to say that the members of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church are feeling pretty good these days over the fact that they have cut their $23,000 church debt down to about $2,000 in little less than seven years, and expect to burn the mortgage next year. The rapidity by which this debt has been cancelled is thought by some to be the noble work of the pastor. Doubtless, he would have it so; but it is the work of the people. It seems that the entire debt might have been lifted in four or five years had there not been a disruption between the pastor and a large number of the members of the church on account of some of his methods of running or ruling the church. However this may be, the members have about paid for their church, and they should have the honor for buying and paying for this splendid temple of God. It is now hoped that the pastor will withdraw all of his objections and prejudices, if he has any, and do all he can to restore good order and peace among the members of the church. A MEMBER: BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING Mr. Robert Jones, an old employee of the Bureau, has been quite sick. He is now improving. ODD FELLOWS' VETERANS. The annual sermon of the Odd Fellows' Veterans was preached on Sunday, December 19, at the Mt. Zion M. E. Church by the pastor, Rev. A. J. Mitchell. His sermon was on "True Brotherhood of Man," and was very inspiring. The meeting was well attended. 'Auxiliary No. 18 of the Washington Patriarchy were the guests of honor. The collection was turned over to the church library. THE PORO PURPOSE. This is the name of the new publication of St. Louis, Mo., which represents Poro College, the greatest school in the world. The publication gives an exact report of the last anniversary of this great institution, graphically illustrated, with a picture of the college on the front page, and a brief history of the school by Mr. Phil H. Brown, the well-known journalist and writer. There is also a picture of Mrs. Annie E. Malone, the founder, and her distinguished husband. It also contains pictures of the humble home of Mrs. Malone twenty years ago and the building which was used in 1903, which would just fit in one of the rooms of the present institution. Mrs. Annie M. Malone is the editress of the Poro Purpose, a new publication issued monthly at Poro College; St. Louis Mo. The price of the paper is 10 cents per copy; $1 per year. In the autobiography of Mrs. Malone, among other things, she says: "A number of different times in my life. I have keen solicited for a biographical sketch of my life, but have refused always to give it. However, with the close of this period, my twenty years in business, I have been moved to feel that a reference to some of my experiences given, might be of help or encouragement to some boy or girl now beginning life's great struggle, or to some who have struggled for a period and have been led almost to give up in despair; and, too, that those who visit Poro and view its surroundings may not lose sight of the fact that my apparent success represents years of hard labor and endeavor, filled with reverses one after another, and that my pathway was up the rough side of the mountain and not strained with flowers. town of born on a farm near the little of the Ohioropolis, Ill, on the banks Robert and Isar, where my parents, tillers of the soil, Turnbo, lived as public school at Metta lis in the years of my early childhood and later for a while attended the high at Peoria, Ill, but, owing to finance circumstances and both parents having died, I was unable to complete the course. Hairdressing was a natural gift of mine, and when a very small child I was always anxious to constantly comb and work with the hair of my sisters and others with whom I came in contact. This I practiced until those about me saw that [Picture of a woman with dark hair and a white shirt. She is looking slightly to the right of the frame.] my work was that of a real artist in that line, and ladies in the community in which I lived were glad to have me do their hair, and even though the compensation for the same consisted of oranges, candy and a few pennies at Christmas time, I did it with painstaking willingness and never tired of my work. And while so doing I had revealed to me the formula for a preparation for improving the condition of the hair which I began to use on my own hair and also on the hair of those who called for my services. The wonderful results from the use of this preparation caused me to name it 'Wonderful Hairgrower.' "Having -become thoroughly convinced that I had a preparation with P.

The task was a hard one, but greater the reward if successful, for numberless days, putting it mildly, have I walked from door to door, putting in the entire day, returning home having not secured a single customer. But I was not discouraged, for I did then as I do now, put my trust in God and put Him first in all my efforts; and I felt that success was for me and I would have it by trusting in Him and continuing my efforts.

We engrave the monograms on to St. Louis, which I did, locating at 2223 Market street. Here I found I was located in a greater business field, but also facing greater responsibilities, for I had come to St. Louis without any money, and actual existence was solely dependent upon my ability to secure customers and to interest the public in my preparation, at which I made slow progress, indeed, but never once did I feel discouraged, and I felt that I had much to be thankful for, as I was blessed with health and strength to push my business, which was increasing. In 1905 I was persuaded to go South and make an effort to establish my business. I went to the State of Alabama and located at Huntsville, where I remained nine months, traveling in Mississippi as well. Meeting with reverses, I decided to return to St. Louis in 1906. Having been unable financially, to meet my demands in Alabama, I returned to St. Louis penniless, and had to start all over. I again located on Market street and began at once pushing my business with a greater determination than ever to succeed and feeling that my seeming failures and --- OUR NEW HOME 25,000 MORE PORO AGENTS WANTED Equipped with the Very Latest Apparatus for Teaching the Poro System of Scalp and Hair Culture and all Branches of Beauty Culture Terms Moderate Diplomas Given Write Today for Further Information "PORO" COLLEGE Poro Corner St. Louis, Mo. reverses of my previous years were but to serve as a boost and the lessons I had learned would be profitable to me in my future efforts. And, too, I had been taught to be more self-reliant, a thing which I believe everyone should learn early in life, and the sooner the better. It was only a short time after this third beginning of my efforts to establish my business before I could see success coming my way, for business began to increase by leaps and bounds, and I soon found that I had more customers than I could care for, and I began to employ assistants; and in a very short while I found I needed more room to care for my customers, as the public had seen that my preparations were all and even more than I had claimed, for them, and that wonderful results were being obtained from their usage. I quietly began seeking a more commodious location. I found that the property at 3100 Pine street was for rent, and I consulted a friend, whose brother was a lawyer about the ad- visibility of my taking a lease upon it, and he advised me that he considered it entirely too great an undertaking for a woman; but here I recalled my lesson of self-reliance and my trust in God who had been my guide and leader all along, and I said, 'Nothing tried, nothing accomplished,' and at once secured the lease. I moved into this building. Trade followed.' "I butgan to show my appreciation for the care given by my brothers and sisters as soon as fortune began to smile upon me and success began to be mine. My first effort along this line was to provide a home for my sister, with whom I had lived in early childhood and who was now residing in St. Louis; and shortly afterward I built a home for my brother in Decatur, Ill., and a farm home for my sister near Peoria. "I realized that my rights were being infringed upon and sought protection by having patented the name 'Poro,' by whom my preparations since have been known. "The years following immediately my moving into the Pine street home were probably the most strenuous of my entire career. As my business increased my burdens became heavier and my obstacles greater and more numerous. In the fall and winter of 1913 and 1914 burdens and responsibilities had weighed so heavily upon me that my health was about to be impaired, and I had decided to relax from my business activities and had thought of going West for a change; and at the time I was completing arrangements for the trip a gentleman, a former schoolmate of mine who I had not seen for fourteen years, was passing through St. Louis en route to Texas and the West. In the course of his conversation with me each made known to the other the plans in mind, and we both thought how pleasant it would be to journey together since we were going the same direction; which was readily agreed to, Flowers For Funerals Kramer the Florist 916 F Street, Northwest DR.

Hours—8 to 12; 1 to 7—Sunday by Appointment Franklin 5961 and then we discussed how nice it would be to join hands and travel together always the remainder of our lives, which was also agreed to; and a public invitation was made in the newspapers asking our friends to attend the marriage ceremony which joined me in holy wedlock to Aaron Eugene Malone on April 28, 1914. "We left that same evening for our trip to California and the West and traveled three months. During this time we planned our present Poro College and advertised our business extensively and returned to-St. Louis in July. Later we made a trip to the North, still getting ideas and suggestions for planning this institution, and returned to St. Louis, made plans for the erection of this building and enlarging this business and buying the equipment before the building was begun. So it can be seen that by our union we were so strengthened that we were able to easily accomplish the thing for which we had been struggling so long alone, to really give something of material value to our race and do our part—the solution of the problem—and we feel that those who visit Poro will have been convinced of this fact. "At some later date we hope to compile more fully and in detail facts regarding our lives which we may give to those interested."

C. The Bee—Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office—Main 4078 The Postoffice at Washington, D. C., as second-class ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION advance..... monthly..... WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 25, 1922 Entered at the Postoffice at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter ESTABLISHED 1880 "THE NEGRO." Why can it be found? That is the question. Did God apply this appellation to the colored man, commonly called "Negro"? That is the question. Can he be found in the writings of any of the prophets? Then who named him? The white man. If you call a white man a "Negro" you are liable to criminal prosecution or a suit for damages. A prominent United States attorney, subsequently made judge of one of our courts, stated some time ago that it was libelous to say that a white man is a "Negro." Some few years ago a colored man informed a prosecuting officer that he was not a "Negro," and thereupon applied for a warrant for libel, but it turned out that this prosecutor had personal knowledge of the pedigree and nationality of this individual; hence he was refused a warrant. Colored men who have written books, pamphlets, etc., use the term in their books and writings and endeavor to make a defense of this individual on the ground that he is a "Negro." Among these writers are Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. DuBois, Prof. Carter Woodson and other well-known colored writers. If it is libelous to call a white man a "Negro," why will colored writers allow themselves to be called "Negroes" and apply the term to themselves? If Irish, German, Dutch, Austrian or any other nationality, except the colored man, apply this term to a white man or to themselves, it is not libelous, and neither are they subjected to criminal prosecution. If the term is odious to the white race, why will the representatives of the colored race perpetuate colored organizations under the term "Negro"? The Bee has maintained that we are "colored Americans," and has given notice that it will not publish communications sent to it in which the term "Negro" is used; and it is hoped that all writers who may send us communications will heed this warning. If the term is objectionable to white people and libelous, colored Americans ought to have sense enough not to us it. The sensible colored American loves his race, but he doesn't want his race misnamed, or to adopt a name that is objectionable to other nationalities. These so-called colored scholars, as they are characterized, should revise their histories of the colored race and apply the proper and correct term. Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. DuBois, and Prof. Carter Woodson, who have written histories of the colored race, should call in their books and revise them. The word "Negro" from now is eliminated from The Bee. DR. JOHN R. FRANCIS. Dr. John R. Francis, dentist, proprietor of the Howard Dental Parlors, the noted extractor of difficult teeth, after years of success, has had constructed for his special use offices in the Southern Aid Building over the Dunbar Theatre, corner Seventh and T streets northwest, where his personal attention will be given each and every patient. A. He has had installed the latest appliances for X-ray and anaesthesia used in difficult extraction. Dr. Francis now has the best equipped dental offices in the East, white or colored. His workmanship and ability have become recognized by the best dental authorities in the country, and his patients include people afflicted with tooth troubles from three States. "STRUT YO' STUFF." "Babe" Townsend is bringing us an entertaining vehicle in the latest creations which will be shown at the Howard Theatre next week, beginning Monday night. Everybody in Washington will be telling everybody else that for pretty girls, laughing situations and dialogue, catchy whistling songs, and nifty dancing, "Strut Yo' Stuff" is a rip-roaring success. And Bill Gulfport at last has an opportunity to prove that he is truly the legitimate leader of humor and buffonery. Not since the days of Ernest Hogan has there been such a singing comedian. Nature has surely been kind to Gulfport. He is blessed with a sunny disposition, and keen wit and humor just oozes out of him. His song, "Louisiana Blues," is a great hit. "Lasses Candy" Brown, of J. Lubrie Hill fame, is a classy stepper and a nifty dresser. He is a neat worker and is at the pinnacle of his glory in "Strut Yo' Stuff." His song, "Traveling Dan," will be delivered as only Brownie can.

It is indeed a pleasure to listen to this talented artist. Her clear, bell-like tones satisfy the ears of the utmost. Margaret Ward Thomas is a dainty bit of femininity and handles her two numbers, "Wedding Blues" and "Garden of My Dreams," in a likable manner: Ida Forcen, that wonderful dancer, is a genius in her art. Others in the company lending wonderful support to the untarnished success of "Strut Yo' Stuff" are Leonard "Blue" Scott, India, Allen, Margaret Trimble, Mary Bradford and others too numerous to mention. William "Babe" Townsend and Dave Peyton are responsible for most of the music. "Babe" also staged the show and he plays several important characters. He can rightfully be called the "Wonder Man." Not since J. Lubrie Hill has one person had so much to do with the successful management of a show as has "Babe" Townsend in "Strut Yo' Stuff." GARFIELD NOTES Some of the members of Allen A. M. E. Church went to the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Saturday to pay the last tribute of respect to the late Rev. Joseph H. Robinson, who was once pastor of the Allen A. M. E. Church and who was very much liked by the whole congregation. His death leaves the church in sorrow, but they feel that their loss is his eternal gain. One of his daughters, Mrs. Susie J. Marshall, is a faithful worker in Allen A. M. E. Church and a member of the Stewardess' Board. The Allen Sunday School was favored last Sunday with an address by Rev. Prince U. Kaba Rega, of British East Africa. At 11 o'clock he delivered a wonderful sermon to a large congregation. Two of the daughters of Rev. M. W. Traverse from New York were at the church last Sunday morning and visited many friends in the community. DIAMOND THIEVES.

On Wednesday, December 15, the friends of Attorney Thomas Walker gave him a surprise party in honor of his seventieth birthday. The affair was worked up by Mrs. Clara H. Taliaferro and Mrs. J. C. McEaddy, and so quietly and efficiently did they carry out their plans that Lawyer Walker had received no inkling of the affair when he reached home from his M. B. office and prepare to visit some of his friends. But friends came in upon him so thick and fast that it was several minutes before he could realize what was happening. When the guests had gathered in the spacious parlors of the Walker home, 1811 Eighth street northwest, Mrs. Taliaferro, the mistress of ceremonies, addressed those assembled, telling of her friendship for Attorney and Mrs. Walker, something of Attorney. Walker's life and usefulness, and the casual remark of Mrs. Walker some days before that gave her the inspiration for the surprise party. Dr. Frank R. Cook talked upon the influence of Lawyer Walker over the young men of the city, giving the history of some of those who had been guided to prominence in professional life. Others who spoke were Dr. Mary L. Brown, who touched upon the strong tie of friendship between herself, her father, Bishop Brown, and Attorney Walker. Mrs. James F. Bundy told of the splendid work done by Lawyer Walker and of his intimate association with her husband, the late Attorney James F. Bundy. Messrs. Tally Holmes, B. F. Morrison, Jefferson Clark, O. W.

Mrs. Tally Holmes and Mr. Benjamin Bell rendered solos, and Miss Jennie Jones recited in her own inimitable way. Lawyer and Mrs. Walker, with tears in their eyes, responded to the words of those assembled, expressing appreciation for the kind words and generous surprise given them. A delightful repast was served. Among the remembrances given Lawyer Walker were several handsomely bound books and a shaving set. A BIRTHDAY, SURPRISE. Last Wednesday evening a delightful surprise was given Mrs. Tanner at her residence, 1444 Q street northwest, by the stewards of the Metropolitan Church and members of the Parents' League. Mrs. Tanner was kept in ignorance of the whole affair until 9 o'clock, when Mrs. Daniel Murray, who had taken her off, returned and found the house filled with friends and a table laden with many good things and a large birthday cake. When they had gathered around the table, Mrs. Murray presented Mrs. Tanner with a purse of money and feelingly told her of the esteem in which she is held by her friends. Mrs. Tanner replied, thanking them for their presence and the gift. The following persons were present: Rev. and Mrs. Tanner, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Murray, Miss I. A. Jurip, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur F.

PRESIDENT JAMES-E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. When George C. Smith's hair stood like quilts on a porcupine a few evenings ago, because Mrs. A. C. Williams took issue with him on the school question, it reminded me of a bad boy who refused to play with the other boys because they made a face at the offended boy. Would George tell the Secretary of the Treasury that he would resign his job if he were not given a promotion? Which is the more objectionable or oppressive, the refusal to give you more pay when you are entitled to it or to differ from your wild-cat ideas? It is a fact that George C. Smith has been telling the people that he has serious charges against Bruce, but he will never put them in writing.

There is a great deal of talk as to what the local politicians will get. I bet you a fine apple to a glass of grape juice that sapheads will be in the lead. Now, who would have thought that the late John C. Daney had any coin? I know it was surprising to the Judge, because they were inseparable. Many a time he and the Judge would go to Gray's and call for a 15-cent lunch. Well, you might as well enjoy life while you can, if you have the coin. After you have passed in your checks and left behind you a barrel of gold and silver somebody else will know how to spend it. I was amused a few days ago when I saw Rev. Alex. Willbanks drive to 1204 Q. street northwest. I inquired of a by-stander what he was doing at 1204? "Oh," remarked Mr. Budinton, "that is Rev. Willbanks' tenthousand-dollar house." It is so strange that all the Baptist brethren who joined in to crucify him a year ago are now praying together. There is a love feast each Monday morning at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. Norman is the moderator, and the other Christian brethren who withdrew the right hand of fellowship from Rev. Willbanks have now returned it to him. At the time they withdrew their hands from him they had forgotten what Christ said to the accusers of Mary Magdalene: "He that is without fault, let him cast the first stone." It is a good thing to have your conscience to prick you at times. It makes you do things that you would not do if you were infected with a degree of insanity. At one time I thought that my good old THIS SPACE IS FOR Bronaughs' DRUG STORE Headquarters for Toilet, Perfumes and all kinds of article Suitable for Christmas Presents Pure Drugs a Specialty friend, Rev. Jernagin, would have to be examined for a head or heart. ailment. He succeeded, however, in becoming normal. Now the good old times in the Baptist churches have returned. Now, speaking about the Baptist ministers, I must congratulate my good friend at the Second Baptist Church. He is one man who deserves a Pierce Arrow, Dodge or a Hudson car. A man who is able to resurrect a dead church and instill new life in the members aid pay off an ancient debt of $25,000 should not only be presented with a car, but should also be given a brick house. He is the only minister in the city who has been able to resurrect the dead. Of course, there has been great talk of the dead being resurrected, which I, thought was a fable; and little did I expect to see it in reality. Those who were living in the days of the flood in the vicinity of the Second Baptist Church know that I am telling the truth. JOHN T.

It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co., 10 Greene street, New York City.

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. The room is furnished with a stool, a mirror, and a rack of shoes. Dr. Parker has recently added to his outfit a RADIO-VITANT CABINET (picture above), for the purpose of giving ELECTRIC-LIGHT BATHS. This treatment is very effective in cases of lost energy and vigor, excessive fat, poor elimination, tired nerves, brain-fag and sleeplessness. A graduate nurse in attendance. Phone North 1266-W.

There are more than 75,000 active Poro agents in the United States, Canada, West Indies and South American countries, and we believe that this is the largest organization for business purposes among our people in the world. Another distinction is added to this organization; and that is the agents are in all cases women. One more distinction, and this makes Poro unique: They are all colored women. The Poro name gives them a prestige and the Poro products render them independent. A Poro agent in any land or clime is a business person investing her time upon a profitable basis, and in every case is an individual to be reckoned with in the community in which she lives. The products the Poro agent offers are the essence of the very best materials. That the Poro agents should feel a pride in the business in which they are engaged is quite pardonable, and the pride that the home office feels in them makes the Poro spirit, which not only applies to those directly concerned in the business, but reaches every racial activity for good. It is a matter of constant solicitude with the Poro institution that every facility for the best service should be in the hands of the large army, of agents, and every method of concentration is being employed to the end that an even, standardized degree of service be attained wherever the Poro system is used. We all know the value of organization, and when one stops to think that if the Poro agents were mobilized into regiments there would be seventy-five units the size if the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, commanded by Col. Duncan, some idea of the vast army of agents would be available, and if the Poro agents were made into a formation for parade they would make a line sixty-eight miles long. The growth of the Poro family does not give the mother plant any worry. On the contrary, it is a source of pleasure. The very best that is in us is invested so that the name of Poro will be one to conjure with. It will mean the best in everything that it offers. We are striving for efficiency from the top of the organization down to the lowest position in the institution. We are siring that the name Poro will be synonymous with quality, efficiency and courtesy. This is what we are transmitting to our agents, and the fact that they have responded is the best argument that they are successful. Reliable young women in every community standing sponsor for Poro products, bringing about the most unique plan of co-ordination that has ever been presented, places Poro on its pride to the point that every promise made must be redeemed and sets the Poro standard at the top.

There’ are mofé than 75,000 active Poro- agents :in the United States, Canada, West Indiés and South Amer- ican countries, and we believe that this is the largest orgfnization. for Business. purposes amorig our people in the world. ‘Another distinction is added to this.organization, and that is the agents are in all cases women. One more distinction, and this makes Poro unique: They “are all colored women, The Poro name gives them’a pres- tige and the Poro. products render ‘them ‘independent. A- Foro agent in any land or clime is-a business person investing her time upon. @ profitable basis, and in every case is an individ- ual to be reckoned with in the com- munity in‘which she lives. The prod- ucts the Poro agént offers are the es- sence of the very best materials. That the Poro agents should feel.a pride in the business in which they are en- gaged is quite pardonable, and the pride that the ‘home office :feels- in them makes the Poro spirit; which not only applies to those directly con- cerned in-the business, but reaches every racial activity for good. It is a matter of constant solicitude with the Poro institution ‘that every facility for the best sefvice should be in the hands of the large army of agents, and. every method of concen: \ tration i being employed to the en¢ that an eVen, standardized degree o} service be attained wherever the Porc system is used, : We all know the value of organiza. tion, and when one stops to think tha if the Poro agents were mobilized intc regiments there would .be seventy-five units the size if the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guard, commandec by Col. Duncan, some idea of- th vast army of agents would be avail able, and if the Poro’ agents wer: made into a formation for parade the} would make a line-'sixty-eight mile: long. - The growth of the Poro family doe: not give the mother plant any worry On the ‘contrary, it is a source. of pleasure. The very best that is in u: is invested so that the name of Porc will be one to conjure with. It wil mean’ the best in everything that it offers.” We are ‘striving for efficiency from the top of the organization down to the. lowest position: in the’ institu- tion. We are siriving that the name Poro will be synonymous with qual- ity, efficiency and courtesy. This-is what we are transmitting to our agéits, and the fact that they’ ‘have responded is the best argument that they are successful, ©” .

Taking it all in all, it may be safely asserted that Christmas is the merriest and the best of all holidays, and one which is likely to be observed for ages yet to come. Nations may rise and fall, new beliefs and religions may sweep away the old, but that would seem, indeed, a dreary and empty year which brought no merry Christmas in its annual round. May old Father Time long spare his holiday to mankind to gladden the hearts of all with its coming, and may each Christmas be still merrier than the last.

Millions for a New Stomach One of the greatest American millionaires said to his physician, "A million dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grumbling, for a new stomach," and then the sick man groaned and turned away. All his wealth could not make him happy or contented, for happiness largely depends upon digestion. Without health where does happiness come in? After all the stomach plays a great part in everyday life. Without a healthy stomach and good digestion our blood is thin, watery and poor; our heart action is weak, our liver does not do its duty, and man is miserable and unhappy. Prevent disease by putting the house in order and strengthening the system against the germs of disease. Dr. Pierce, of the Invalida' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago understood diseases and their prevention, and he discovered certain roots and herbs which were nature's remedies, and succeeded in putting them up in a form that could be easily procured at the drug store (liquid or tablets). This he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This Discovery gives no false stimulation because it contains no alcohol or any narcotic. It helps digestion and the assimilation of such elements in the food as are required for the blood. It gives to the blood the food elements the tissues require. For over fifty years it has enjoyed the confidence of the public. Try it now! ROOM MATE WANTED. WANTED—Room mate (male) II Columbia 9266. FOR RENT.
