Editor Chase Sudden Death a Shock to the Community and Country VOL. XLI NO. 33 DEATH OF W. CALVIN CHASE—AN APPRECIATION. A Great Man Has Fallen—The Prince of Editors Passes Away—Used His Paper to Praise Others—Twice Honored by the Suffrage of the People of the District. Hon. William Calvin Chase, founder and editor of The Washington Bee, breathed his last at 11 a. m., Monday, January 3, 1921. He died in harness. Had it been left to him to select the place of his death, he no doubt would have selected his editorial chair, in which he died. It can be truly said that a prince and a great man has fallen. William Calvin Chase was a unique character. Like most other leaders, his true worth to his people could not be appreciated by them while he lived. The people murmured at times against Moses. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Even our blessed Saviour, in whom there was no guile, was crucified. While we know that post-mortem kindness does not cheer the drooping spirit, and that flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over the weary way, yet we are thankful for the opportunity to use these columns on this sad occasion to strew a few flowers on the coffin of a man who used his paper to praise others and not himself. The tall and noble physique of Editor Chase made him a marked man, a conspicuous figure, wherever he appeared. He was a Presbyterian by profession, but he was not a bigot; he could see good in others outside of the church of his own choice. He was a Republican in politics, but did not fail to praise the good to be tound in other parties whenever it appeared and to condemn the wrong in his own when occasion called for it. He was not an ingrate; he never forgot a kind act or deed, whether by friend or foe; but would not allow such an act or deed to blind him to the faults of those who had shown them, or to prevent him from condemning the wrong in them whenever it became necessary to do so, regardless of their social standing or the position which they held. He rather liked a shining mark. Chase was no coward. He was pre-eminently a race man. He gave his life for his people. He never proved a traitor to his race under any circumstances. He was twice honored by the suffrage of the people of the District of Columbia as their delegate to the National Republican Convention, and was proven sound to the core on all questions pertaining to the civil and political rights of his people. As editor of The Bee for a long term of years, he found it necessary to expose wrong in high and low places, which caused him to make many enemies while acting in the defense of truth and righteousness. The Bee always carried honey and comfort for the struggling, but terror and venom to traitors. One of the things that made Editor Chase so strong was his knowledge of the fact that he hailed from one of the best and purest families in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He was the son of the late Lucinda, Seaton and W. C. Chase. Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. A. V. Chase; a son, W. Calvin Chase, Jr., The Washington Bee WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1921 teacher of printing in Armstrong Manual Training School; and a daughter, Miss Beatriz L. Chase, a teacher of music in the public schools of the District of Columbia; five sisters, Miss E. A. Chase, principal of Alfred Jones School; Mrs. N. T. Goldsbery, former principal of Slater School; Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, founder and former principal of Ferguson and Williams Academy for thirty-three years; Miss F. C. Chase, who made a record at the Government Printing Office for working faster than the machine; and Miss Ida R. Chase, an accomplished dressmaker. He was a descendant of the well-known Seaton family of Alexandria, Va., one member of whom, George L. Seaton, was a member of the Virginia Legislature at one time; another, John A. Seaton, was for twenty years deputy chief of the Equitable Life Insurance Association of New York and bodyguard to Charles Sumner when he was lying in state; and another, a daughter, Mrs. Laura V. Contee, who is the only living one of this splendid family. She has five daughters and two sons who are making good in the world. His bravery was due to the blood of his ancestry which he inherited; that of an Indian chief from his maternal parent and of an African warrior who was a king from his paternal parent. W. Calvin Chase, late editor of The Washington Bee, who wrapped the drapery of his mantle about him at 11 a. m. Monday, and lay down to a peaceful slumber, was the noblest Roman of them all. Let him rest in peace. "The Washington Bee still lives." The sudden death of W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Washington Bee, will be received throughout the entire country with deep sympathy and much regret. In the death of this great and courageous man, who for almost a half century has given his time and talent to establish this great paper, The Washington Bee, which has become the most widely circulated and read throughout the world among the colored American race, let it not be said that this paper will cease. It still lives, and will ever live. Great men cease to live and pass from physical existence, but their deeds live after them. So with the late editor, whose physical existence has passed from us, but his years of earnest work still reigns. The Bee wishes to thank its many friends and well-wishers for expressions of sympathy and kindness shown in the loss of the editor and asks a continuance of the same patronage and support that it has received during the past two score and one years of its existence.

It seems as if all the hidden powers of evil combine to drag a country girl down in the very depths when she goes to New York in search of a position. Men of wealth, employers of labor and veritable pillars of the church all seem to struggle to capture the unfortunate girl and keep her in their power. In James Kyle MacCurdy's play, "A Little Girl in a Big City," which will be given at the Howard Theatre next week, commencing Monday, January 10th, there will be presented all the sordidness of life in the great metropolis, but right, as ever, triumphs in the play and the spectators are made to feel that an all-wise providence watches over the innocent always. In the cast will be the all-stars—Cleo Desmond, Elizabeth Williams, Isabelle Jackson, J. L. Croner, Arthur T. Ray, H. L. Pryor, James H. Norman and Harrison Jackson. OFFICERS ENTERTAINED. The past officers of St. John's Grand Lodge were entertained by the past matrons on New Year's Day at 2223 L street northwest, from 3 to 8 p. m. Refreshments were served by the ladies. Noble Joseph Jackson, deputy from Homstead, Pa., was master of ceremonies. Deputy Grand Master Abram Mason spoke very favorably concerning the work of the orders. All present made a few remarks, and heartfelt thanks was offered to God. All promised to do their bit for 1921. Colored Boulevard Alive—The Theatres full and the people Happy. I stood at the corner of Seventh and You streets Saturday evening—in fact, I alternated from Sixth and T to Fourteenth on You—from sunrise to sunset, and, in fact, until midnight, and you speak of fashions of every description—they could be seen. Speaking about Paris gowns, they could not be compared to those that were seen to enter the Howard Theatre on New Year's night. No sooner had the vast audience been dismissed from the supper show than the theatre was refilled for the night show. Across the street is the Dunbar, and it had a line that reached from Seventh and T, opposite the main entrance of the Howard Theatre. Of course, I saw my good friend Byars alternating between the door of entrance to the corner, greeting with that bland smile of his that never loses its virtue. As I strolled up You street to Ninth there was a crowd making its way to the opening of the Murray Casino. I had to go in. I saw the blondes, the brunettes and the dainty high browns, dressed in the height of fashion. I strolled to the Hiawatha. I had no more than reached there when I saw my friend Byars with that same smile. This time the blondes and brunettes had no time to waste or smiles to give the man of many parts. I boarded a Seventh street car after I had strolled to Dudley's You Street Theatre, where the crowd was too great for me to enter and got out at the Mid-City and found it jammed like sardines in a mustard box. I then decided to take a taxie and go to the Foraker, where I found Raymond Murray. He was too busy to breathe freely, so I decided to wind up at the Pythian Temple, Twelfth and You streets, where I met my ancient friend General, Clay Smith. I always miss that wonderful mustache which the General was forced to take off when he was a slave for the Government. The superintendent of the parking police far surpassed in looks and deportment any of his superior officers, so he had to cut them off. There was a jolly good crowd in every room in the building. But I was not contented at the Temple, so I decided to return to the Hiawatha, where I remained until 11 p.m., then I boarded a car, but had to return to George W. Taylor's jewelry exhibition and purchase my best girl a New Year present. You know, George is one of those good-natured prevaricators, but an honest salesman. I chatted with him a few moments and got a drink of water that he had on hand for a week. Then I left and walked around the corner to Brother Jesse Foster's. Jesse has always got a story to tell. Well, I just saw him take in $3.80 while there, and he was not more than fifteen minutes taking it in, either. While all other banks in the city were closed, I saw Cashier Bowie open his bank doors and walk in and President John W. Lewis walk out. He wore a Roosevelt hat and a Napoleon overcoat, which gave him a military appearance. It was a great day on You street all day New Year. FREEMAN'S ANNUAL REUNION Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Freeman, the brother and sister-in-law of the late John W. Freeman, held a family reunion of five generations at their residence; 1129 Third street northwest on Christmas Day.

Addresses were made by all present. Mrs. Tuck, Mrs. Ferris and Master Ferris and Miller recited poems, and Mrs. Branahan gave a musical recital. The next reunion will be held December 25, 1921, at California, Pa. The family was also entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Freeman on Wednesday, December 29, at their residence, 1609 Third street northwest. On Friday, December 31, they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William White and Mr. and Mrs. John Boston, of Baltimore, Md., before returning home. THE R. E. WEAVER SYSTEM. Mme. R. E. Weaver makes a specialty of scalp treatment. Relief is quickly obtained from the use of this wonderful preparation. If you suffer with a sensitive and itching scalp, dandruff or anything pertaining to falling or slow-growing hair, try the wonderful HOT OIL treatment given only by Mme. R. E. Weaver, formerly on L street north-west, but now located at 1944 Ninth street northwest. Be sure and "give this treatment a trial. COURT ADJOURNS OUT OF RESPECT TO MR. CHASE. The courts adjourned last Tuesday afternoon as a mark of respect to W. Calvin Chase, the editor of The Bee, when the announcement of his death was made known. The meeting of the Bar Association was the most largely attended in quite a while. LEGAL NOTICES. ATTY. D. MELENDEZ KING.

I send you the following relative to lynchings for the past year. I find, according to the records compiled by Monroe N. Work, of the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, that there were 56 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Of these, 10 were in Northern States and 46 were in Southern States. In 42 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In 14 instances armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 4 of these instances the mobs were fired upon, and as a result 7 of the attackers were killed and several wounded. ere were 61 persons lynched in of these, 52 were in the South e North and West. This is the number—83—for the those lynched, 53 were and 8 were whites. put death was a colo- ore or less than one death, were chargeoted rape. Three of death.

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION. (From the Boston Chronicle.) The issue as to disfranchisement in the Southern States is being discussed in Congress and throughout the country. Several years ago Mr. Joseph C. Manning raised the point that there was then an unconstitutional Congress, since that the voting rights of the people of the South had been abridged and Congress had failed to reduce representation as the Constitution of the United States directed. Mr. Manning said Southern members were holding their seats in excess numbers as provided by the Constitution of the United States and, therefore, the entire number of Southern delegations in Congress from the disfranchisement States of the South were in Congress illegally. This proposition, put forward repeatedly by Mr. Manning, is now being seriously discussed in Washington. For more than a year Mr. Manning has been active in talking over the Southern question with members of both the Senate and the House, and the Chronicle has time and again called attention to his work and commended it. 727 Seventh Street N.W.

Mr. Manning had gone over the whole situation with Senator Harding, now President-elect, and impressed the facts as to political conditions in the Southern States. This is known to the Chronicle and its readers. Congressman Tinkham and Congressman Dallinger, Massachusetts members of the House, are looked upon as particularly interested in this issue. During his work in Boston, on this question, Mr. Manning has spoken at public meetings at which Congressman Dallinger was also a speaker. The Chronicle has no doubt that Mr. Manning, who is an authority on this question, has also brought facts to the attention of Congressman Tinkham. The National Republican, the organ of the Republican party of Washington, D. C., has carried Mr. Manning's articles on this political situation, and this publication is read by members of Congress, so it is that Mr. Manning has kept busy keeping the issue alive. The Chronicle has taken an active part in this work and is proud to see the issue at the forefront.

Commissioner Gabaldon Speaks Before the Filipino Club of New York on the Evening of December 30. "The statement recently sent broadcast by opponents of Philippine independence that we neither demand nor want independence, but only 'guaranteed independence,' is absolutely without foundation." This was the statement of Hon. Isauro Gabaldon, one of the two resident commissioners from the Philippines to the United States, in an address before the Filipino Club of New York in commemoration of the 24th anniversary of the death of Dr. Jose Rizal, the Filipino martyr. "Senate President Quezon, Commissioner de Veyra and myself have repeatedly stated that we are willing to accept independence under any of the following forms: Under a league or association of nations; under an 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 of neutrality among the great powers, or absolute and complete independence without strings," said Commissioner Gabaldon. "We have no especial fear of Japan, because Philippine independence, in our opinion, is not inimical to Japan. The Japanese are now free to come to the Philippines, but there are less than 7,000 in the entire archipelago, only one-twelfth as many as in California alone. There are not a few who profess to believe that Japan views the Philippines as an American possession as a distinct menace to her from a military standpoint, and that the American flag in the Philippines will bring the Japanese soldier to our shores far quicker than the Filipino flag. All I can say with reference to this matter is that if we are granted our independence we will endeavor to deal honorably with our neighbor, Japan, just as, with all other countries, and we will then view the future with confidence in humanity. Smaller nations beset by graver problems and dangers have taken a more hazardous chance at freedom and have succeeded. "We want our independence, but we are not knocking at the doors of Congress with any bitterness in our hearts. We realize that a great service has been rendered us by the United States in assisting us to prepare ourselves for independence. If we must remain under the tutelage of some other nation, even against our will, we would prefer that country to be the United States. But we almost unanimously prefer our independence to being under even so great and altruistic a nation as America. This is not a slight of America; it is a compliment to both countries. As soon as the United States soldiers became intrenched in the Philippines, schools were set up everywhere, and one of the text-books used from the first day of American occupation was the history of the United States. How could it be expected that our young men could study the history of this great country and not be inspired by the words of Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Abraham Lincoln? We would, indeed, be an unpatriotic people if under America's teaching we did not aspire to emulate your example of government of the people, by the people and for the people. "To prove to us, as the United States has succeeded in doing, that independence is the greatest blessing of mankind, that it is the one thing that every patriotic citizen is justified in dying to obtain, and then to deny us that independence, would surely be a Open Day and Night Livery and Chapel 30 H Street N.

C., JANUARY 8, 1921. HERE THEY ARE. Would-be colored office-seekers are as busy as the traditional cat, getting letters from men of "fluence" and signers to petitions. They hale, according to the best obtainable information here, from Bishop Vernon's "everglades of Florida to Greenland's rock-bound coast," and each and every one is all screwed up with confidence. The ministership to Haiti, quite naturally, with its $10,000 salary appendage, is the chief bone sought. A whole raft of "faithfuls" have their eyes "sot" and glued on this berth, but according to the rules of government, but one can land it. James Weldon Johnson, because of his trip to Haiti and exposing the bloody work of the American marines, who were ruthlessly slaughtering Haitians as have the Turks slaughtered Armenians, is most frequently spoken of as "a likely man" for this job. By education and experience in the consular service, Johnson is an ideal man to handle diplomatic questions in the black republic on the island. Dr. Crossland, who as delegate-at-large from Missouri to the Republican National Convention voted for Harding on each and every ballot, will descend, at an opportune time, it is hinted, on Washington and the White House with strong indorsements for the position. Henry Lincoln Johnson, it is said, would not be averse to drawing the salary of the position, since it is within $1,000 of the amount the Lowden people paid him for his influence at Chicago prior to and during the convergence. However, Johnson, of Georgia, sometimes is not regarded of the Harding people as available for such an important mess sergeant, Gilchrist Stewart, however, will take it, if Mr. Harding but says the word. Of course, the task, as well as Henry Lincoln, were paid well for at Chicago, as was also Perry Howard, "leading lawyer" Another Richmond, who, it is said, is casting loins at the ministership to Haiti, is Prof. W. S. Scarborg, lamented prexy of Wilberforce (Ohio) College. The first woman, serves as a handicap for him. And it man of digression, that the possessing of white wivancy of the post, or subsequent thereto, was sons that the Wilson administration appointed a new post. It will be recalled that Frederick Douglass after his return from Haiti, married a white wife; Durham, a later occupant of the post, also possessed a 13 Markets Fra MEATS PRICE The prices of Turkeys an Quality guaranteed.

If a colored man is appointed, it is said—and it comes from reliable authority—he will be a man with a wife of his own race. This, consequently, lets Scarborough out of the running before the gong sounds for the entries to take their position for the minister handicap. From information reaching this city of magnificent distance, and not infrequently "the city of buried hopes," there will be such an attendance of colored office-seekers here during the inauguration that will be sufficient, so far as numbers go, to put down the bolshevik rule in Russia, if properly armed. They are coming from everywhere. Ohio, it is said, will send a detachment of "favorite sons" that will make Napoleon's army at Waterloo look like a mere battalion. But out in Ohio, among the brethren "unit" has to be set down with the algebraic sign of "X." Illinois, which, outside of the Buckeye State, has more colored politicians to the square inch than they have dogs in Constantinople, will form a continuous line of "hopefuls" who will cast loving glances at President Harding when he rides down Pennsylvania avenue in the inaugural procession, in the hope that he will see each and every mother's son of them, and recognize them with a "Hello, old friend of mine; drop around to the White House when the procession is disbanded and I will put you on the Government pay-roll." Another berth that is tempting not a few of the would be office-seekers is the malaria job of minister to Liberia. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, perhaps the ablest minister ever sent to that malaria-infested district, could, without much solicitation, be induced to take up the burden over there. Bishop Vernon, already on the ground, representing the great African Methodist Episcopal Church, would be willing to take the oath of office quick as one could say "scat." Link Johnson's mess sergeant—the same one who put one over on the late Senator Foraker—Gilchrist Stewart, would take the job immediately, if not before; and unlike another New Yorker once appointed—Editor Moore, of the Age—would not linger around here two or three months without sailing, but would charter one of Garvey's battered ships and sail between sunup and sundown. It is stated, by reliable authority, that Senator Harding, while consulting "the best minds" out there in Marion, Ohio, has incidentally talked over the propriety of appointing colored men to office some time later on. They say that Link Johnson and Perry Howard are a little fearful that Mr. Harding may consult Eugene Booze, of Mound Bayou, Miss., about his policy toward the race. Booze, it is reported here, is thought mightily well of by Mr. Harding, and especially so because he wants no office himself, and because when Link, Perry and the mess sergeant et al. were taking out of the National Committee's treasury sundry amounts for salary and expenses, Booze was contributing—and an amount in four figures, too. Then again, he voted in the convention just ten times for Harding, and without help or hindrance. Robert Church, Tennessee's dynamic leader, to the contrary notwithstanding, can be induced to take some kind of office, preferably here in Washington; and as he always kept within hailing distance of Chairman Will Hays, prior to and during the convention, and stood ready to "whoop 'em up" for the emaciated chairman for the nomination to the Presidency, had plans not gone awry on that famous tenth ballot when Harding was nominated, it is a 100-to-1 shot that young Robert can have Hays' backing. Link Johnson is now on the ground here, waiting, like Miçawber, "for something to turn up." Link, like the traditional colored men seeking office from the South in ye olden days, came early and will remain late. That Recordership job here, for which he drew the salary, if nothing more, with astonishing regularity during the Taft administration, looks just as juicy now as it did then to him; and, nk Kidw D, NOT ONE DAY Christmas Special and Chickens are very high.

But it is not thought it is likely an outsider will ever again be appointed to the Recordership, a position our local people are assessed to maintain. If all the colored office-seekers billed to invade Washington during the inauguration show up, there will not be rooms left to accommodate the "just visitors." Soon that old song of "Hark, hark, the dogs are barking, the beggars are coming down, some in rags, and some in tags, and some in velvet gowns," will be quite appropriate for Washingtonians to chirp. LET US THINK. LET US THINK. The colored politicians are nonentities under this Government. The colored man in business is a success. The only people in this country who are an aid to the colored race are the Jews. They are unselfish, liberal and philanthropic. Whatever they do in competition with other nationalities, they never fail to render assistance to the colored man. It is unfortunate that colored corporations are forced to establish enterprises that tend to be in opposition to the colored race. The Bee, in this connection, is forced to speak of the three theatres that are being or about to be erected in competition to each other. Will there be room for three large theatres in the same vicinity? Let us stop and consider the cost. The Republic Theatre, on You street, is about to be completed, and the management states that it will open in March. The Dudley-Murray Corporation has purchased a large site for a theatre, which is commendable on the part of the enterprising individuals. The Crandall Theatre, it is claimed, when erected, will be larger than any theatre in the city. Will the three be able to succeed in the same neighborhood and within a square of each other? There is the Howard Theatre, which has given to the colored people everything that is needed. Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, the manager, with the assistance of Lieut. Vincent Thomas, has been fair and liberal, to the masses and to every charitable institution. These young men have opened their doors to the masses at a nominal figure and have given liberally to all enterprises and the poor in general. Do they deserve the plaudits of the people? Do they deserve to be encouraged? The Bee says that they do. Where all other theatre enterprises have failed, Mr. Andrew J. Thomas has succeeded. Should the efforts of this young man be ignored? By no means; no. Five large theatres in this city, and in the same neighborhood, cannot succeed. Why not divert at least two of these new enterprises into department stores? The one hundred thousand colored people can support, and will support, a department store; and as much revenue will be realized from department stores as the management will realize from too many theatres. There is more in life to be realized from a department store than from too many theatres. The Bee does not want to discourage any enterprise, but it does mean to convey the idea that money put into too many enterprises of the same character must fail. Mr. Richard Ware, at 1832 Fourteenth street, singly and alone, has endeavored to give to the colored people what other corporations have failed to give. Mr. Ware has the experience in operating a department store. Why can't the many thousand colored people come to his aid? Let us take no false step in the year of 1921. Let us think and act as we deem best for the masses. Can too many enterprises of the same character succeed in this city? That is the question. well's 13 Markets Y, EVERY DAY als ur prices will be the lowest s, Fresh Shoulders, Pork Loin Roasts or get a dollar' worth. This is a sample text from a document.

A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. PRESIDENT. JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. I understand that the Chicago colored committee is to be investigated by the National Committee. Several of the colored newspapers that were selected and used in the last campaign have not been paid as yet. It is stated that some funds have mysteriously disappeared. There may be some arrests and indictments. I have always been opposed to "jim-crow" annexes to the National Republican Convention. It was published two weeks ago that Whitefield McKinley had been placed in charge of a committee for the reception and housing of colored people for the inauguration. Just who will follow this individual I would like to know. McKinley doesn't represent the colored citizens and, as, a matter of fact, the colored people in this city will not follow him. It is about the most unwise appointment that could have been made. I understand that some white real estate operator recommended this appointment. The colored people are opposed to any kind of "jim-crow" annex to the inauguration. It is amusing to see the coming of the colored officeseekers. Just why these State orators and politicians want to be Recorder of Deeds I do not know. Why don't these near-statesmen apply for jobs in their own States? There are collectors of ports and all kinds of other jobs in the States. Just wait a few days and you will see the near-statesmen coming into the city by the hundreds. It is so strange that these out-of-town office hunters want to bunk in this city. There are only one or two colored men who deserve recognition from the States and a very few in this city. Prof. Aaron E. Malone, of St. Louis, Mo., instead of drawing money from the National Committee, gave his check for $1,000. Are there any five colored near-statesmen who were prominent in the last campaign with such a record? Every member of the Chicago and New York "jim-crow" annexes, with the exception of Andrew J. Stevens, was paid a salary, and those who actually contributed and gave their services free have made no demands on the national treasurer for pay. Andrew J. Stevens, of Philadelphia, is a high-class colored politician. Prof. Malone, of St. Louis, Mo., I understand, while he is not seeking an office, will be recommended for the Haitian mission, if he wants the job. Just how this philanthropist can give up his work in St. Louis, which is the greatest in the world, I can't see. Of course, Mrs. Malone, a woman of great executive ability, is able to conduct the business with ease, should her distinguished husband go abroad. There is Emmett J. Scott, who should go in the War Department. He has a clean record, and he is a man of integrity and honesty, My good friend Thomas L. Jones, who has never taken any money from TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORT For further information and Catalog, address the National Republican Committee, but has always sent his check and paid his own expenses under all circumstances and conditions, will be considered for Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Jones would make a good Recorder of Deeds. He has earned his money by the practice of his profession. It is so strange that political non-entities were placed on the Inaugural Committees and men of influence and following were left off. My good friends A. W. Scott, E. M. Hewlett, W. C. Martin, Thomas Walker, Fountain Peyton, Robert Miller, Harry Clerk, L. M. King, J. M. Ricks, P. W. Frisby, Joseph H. Stewart, R. R. Horner, Harry and Clarence Tignor, Charles S. Williams, Prof. Richards, Attorney Myers, Andrew J. Thomas, John W. Lewis, William A. Bowie and hundreds of other well-known citizens were not named on the Inaugural Committee. These men have a following and are respected by the people. Just take some of the colored men who have been selected and tell me just how much water they draw. Well, as I said before, the hat-in-hand colored brother is wanted in the equation—and not real men. A. 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. DR. PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. 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 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.

Church with special services and the church was filled. Sunday morning Rev. M. W. Traverse preached his New Year's sermon, which was very powerful and felt by the large crowd that came from far and near to hear him. After the sermon he administered Holy Sacrament to the congregation. Last Wednesday night the Sunday School made its annual Christmas gift to the children of the school. The affair was a success and was enjoyed by all present. The Garfield Dramatic Club entertained many of its friends last Wednesday night at the Garfield Hall. The reception was one brilliant affair and music was furnished by the famous Taylor jazz band. After all were seated, Mr. William H. Dabney introduced Mr. William R. Giles as toastmaster of the evening. Miss Bertha Howard and Mrs. Mabel Carroll left last Sunday for Delaware, where they are teaching in the public schools.

AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL NORMAL SCHOOL. (Special to The Bee.) Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 3.—The agricultural and Industrial State Normal School opened the second term of the year's work Tuesday, December 28, 1920. Quite a large number of new students enrolled and quite a number of others will come Monday, January 3, 1921. The school has been so crowded that it has been necessary for hundreds of our students to board on the outside of the school. All departments are crowded. A committee from the State Board of Education, consisting of Hon. P. L. Harned, chairman; Hon. C. B. Ijams, Hon. J. S. Zeigler and Supt. Albert Williams met yesterday and approved a plan for the new shop building for the men's industries to start at once. The school has recently received more than $40,000 worth of tools and equipment, shoe-making, carpentry, machine shop and blacksmithing. All courses, both literary and industrial, have been enlarged. New faculty members have been added to carry on this work. The unusual success of the institution has been largely attributed to the very strong faculty and cooperation and encouragement of the State Board of Education. Requests for our graduates as teachers and demonstrators come from all sections of Tennessee, as well as from other States. The prospects are brightest in the history of the institution.

Congressman, Pinkham, of Massachusetts, has introduced a bill to cut down Southern representation: -Why cut down Southern representation, witl the thousands of disfranchised. colored Amer- icans‘in the South? Why not enforce the Constitution. of the United, States? Cutting down representation in the South will not give the right to’ vote to colored: citizens. What .good is, the Constitution of the United States if it isnot enforced? Reducing Southern rep- resentation will not cut or check rascality in the South.

States, to learn ie methods of ‘Southern Democrats, is to examine the record of contests following the elections in 1894 and in 1896, -particularly in 1896. This evi- dence shows how the. black helt frauds were employed, before dis- franchisement, -to count out ‘elected members of Congress, who -were ‘seated on. the evidence shown. .This is important, because it shows. that the Democratic oligarchy .was being’ outvoted ‘in the white counties and the - disfranchisement was ‘triggered up to cut out whites as, well as the minority ‘of colored in these coun-| ties, as well as to disfranchise all colored’ in the black belt.. . * Assertion of, Democratic Con- gressmen that the colored in -the South take their. causes into. the courts’ is highly characteristic, for. in the South the colored are lynched in the matter of causes when life is at stake, and‘ mightly ‘little show would a colored man have in fighting’ for cratic community, with sentiment his voting right in a red-shirt Demo- inflamed..
