Washington Bee

The Administration Patronage Cross Currents So much has been said recently on the question of patronage from the Harding administration as it relates to the colored American group that any other word on the subject is apt to savor of "bringing owls to Athens." The Bee, however, ventures to add one or two elements of observation that seem hitherto not to have been present in analyses offered. First and foremost, no one but a political novice or an asinine sentimentalist—granting, of course, that no one is essaying the role of deceiver or knave—would for one moment waste time in such idle chatter as patronage waiting upon or deferring to a broad constructive legislative program. It is a recognized policy to separate patronage and constructive legislative programs. Does anyone for a moment, even in his wildest fantasies, dream that the appointments to be given to and for the white group of the "Hardingites" will be laid on the table and allowed to mould in neglect, while tariff, currency and labor problems are being formulated into policy? Surely there is none so bereft of ordinary common sense. Why, then, should anyone of our racial group be so ill advised—or shall we say misled—as to accept any such fol-de-rol in reference to patronage for colored Americans? Away with what Mr. Charles E. Hall so aptly denominates "the smoke-screen propaganda." Colored citizens must play the game as the whites—according to Hoyle. It seems to The Bee that the incoming political machine—the Harding administration—will proceed, probably, under the guidance of Harry Daugherty, in its usual systematic way; and will in the case of colored possibilities "render unto Caesar what is due unto Caesar." Patronage, or political playing-off, is no matter of sentiment. It is primarily a matter of reward, and secondarily a question of combining fitness and acceptability with the person rewarded. The Bee will be perfectly satisfied with such a procedure as this. Good, competent colored politicians, men of scope, vision and sound manhood—not blatant, radical screamers, nor yet spineless "metoo's"—will be chosen if the policy to which The Bee just referred confidently is put into effect; and thus will those who have delivered and can yet deliver—not addresses, but votes of sturdy colored men and women—be brought into their own. What The Bee asks is for immediate action on colored patronage; synchronous, immediate, independent action on legislative proposals for racial betterment; and rewards to men who really represent somebody and have shown it by reactions as seen at the polls.

He was an adviser to all men with whom he came in contact. If he came to your business place and business was good, or if it were bad, he had a cheering word for you, just the same. So we shall miss him, writes Arthur G. Wood, formerly at 33 H street northeast, now at 33 H street northwest. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY; FERBUARY 12, 1921 THE LATE EDITOR OF "THE WASHINGTON BEE." It has been one month and a few days since the late Editor W. Calvin Chase was called from labor to reward. He stood ever ready to help the people and use his God-given talent when asked. Do we miss him? Yes. Another we shall never find like him. Race elevation in the land of the free and the home of the brave was his highest ambition. (Rev. and Mrs. Peter Ailer, speaking, for Antioch Baptist Church, where this great man had served.) FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE LATE ISAIAH J. LEWIS. On Sunday, January 31, 1921, at Zion Baptist Church, Four and a half and F streets southwest, the funeral services of the late Isaiah Jacob Lewis were held. After a long and protracted illness, which Mr. Lewis bore with Christian fortitude, he succumbed to the grim monster death. He leaves a loyal and faithful wife, Mrs. Belle E. Lewis, and Mr. James R. Moss, a brother-in-law, of 1310 T street northwest. Too much cannot be said of the faithful and untiring efforts of Mrs. Lewis in attending and visiting her husband once every week for thirteen long years, and the last month of his illness she was in his bedside every day, which proves the highest test of devotion. During all these years she was faithful and true even until the end, and her chief joy and delight seemed to be in serving or doing something to brighten and cheer him during his hours of confinement. Her increasing devotion and attendance to him is indeed a premium on true womanhood. Mr. Lewis was remembered in death as he was in life, which was attested by the presence of the many friends and their beautiful and numerous floral tributes, especially the large pillow sent by the Whitelaw Apartment House Company; the broken column from the J. M. H. R. Association; the lovely piece from the Industrial Savings Bank; the tribute from Ruth Chapter, No. 26, O. E. S., and the large heart of roses with white doves on each corner from the widow. So numerous were the floral tributes a special car was necessary to carry them. In spite of the inclement weather, the church was taxed to its utmost to accommodate the many friends who came out to pay him the last honor of respect and the several organizations to which he belonged had large representation and each society fitting resolutions, especially the one read by Mrs. Hattie McIntosh Brady and Mrs. A. C. Williams. Too much cannot be said of the touching and solemn services of W. A. Freeman Lodge, both at the church and at the cemetery. On the program for this occasion were several of the leading ministers. Rev. W. D. Jarvis of the New Bethel Baptist Church read Scriptures; solo by Jennie Shelton Tyler. The sermon was delivered by Rev. William J. Howard and was a brief review of the life of the deceased and widow. It was indeed touching and complimentary. Remarks by Rev. J. M. Waldron were indeed timely. Rev. J. H. Randolph was master of ceremonies. The honorary pallbearers were W. A. Bowie, Henry Ricks, John W. Lewis, W. H. Robinson, Samuel W. Watson, Fred Sabbs, Richard Greene, George W. Cole, James A. Payne, W. Stephen Fuller, George M. Cook, T. H. Norman, R. K. Washington and Alexander Trimble and Robert Stgward. The active pallbearers were of W. A. F. Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F., W. H. Brent, D. C. Barbour, E. M. Smith, A. F Hicks, W. A. Brown and J. A. Weathers. It was the opinion of all present, as well as the family, that the funeral arrangements were perfect and complete. The funeral was under the direction of Mr. Thomas Frazier, of 723 T street northwest, who is a graduate embalmer and funeral director from the Cincinnati Embalming College, whose ability is enabling him to forge his way into many of the best homes in Washington. LETTER FROM REV. DILLARD. Editor of The Bee: I read with much regret of the death of the late W. Calvin Chase. I read the able sermon by Dr. Norman, the splendid eulogy of A. W. Scott and the testimonials of friends. But the editorial in the first issue of The Bee after the death of its editor was the finest of its nature I have ever read. It was inspirational from beginning to end. I have known the editor personally for a period of forty years. While a student at Howard University I used to call at his home on Eye street, where I learned to respect him and admire the model home of the Chases. His life has been an asset to the race. I mourn his loss in common with his large circle of friends. Principal Graded Schools. Goldsboro, N.C. February 2, 1921. (The author of the editorial referred to aobve which was one of the masterpieces of literature written about W. Calvin Chase, the late editor of The Bee, was Lawyer Thos. L. Jones, one of the highly educated and cultured gentlemen composing the personnel of the District Bar. It is these qualifications, together with the unity and friendly relations among its members, and the lofty and just plane upon which these lawyers practice, that causes the District Bar to be the peer of any within the United States.) THREATEN TO LYNCH Word has just been received from J. William Clifford, of this city, and a former lieutenant of the 92nd Division during the recent war, that the latter scarcely escaped being lynched last week in Little Rock, Ark., where he is visiting in the interest of the Monumental Pictures Corporation. It appears that Mr. Clifford's unfamiliarity with the jim-crow laws of the South caused him to "overstep his bounds," as his accusers put it, when he entered into an argument with a group of white youths who jeered him for walking about the town with a brief case and a cane. Before Mr. Clifford was aware of his peril a group of older "crackers" appeared on the scene with a rope ready for business, and had it not been for the prompt and earnest pleading of a cool-headed sheriff, serious harm might have befallen the young colored man. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. Belle Lewis, wdiow of the late Isaiah Jacob Lewis, and Mrs. James R. Moss, brother-in-law of Mrs. Belle Lewis, take this opportunity to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to their relatives, friends and acquaintances for their kind sympathy and many deeds of kindness during their recent bereavement; also the officers and members of J. M. H. R. Association, Bannaker Relief Association, Queen Victoria Household of Ruth and W. A. F. Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F.; also Prof. Daniels and choir of Zion Baptist Church; Miss Jennie Shelton Tyler for the beautiful sof rendered; the lovely paper by Mrs. Hattie McIntosh, and to Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor of the church, for his deep interest and tender sympathy exhibited; also the ministers who took part in the services; for the floral tributes, especially the pillow from 9 the Whitelaw Apartment House Company, the Broken Column from J. M. H. R. Association, and the lovely pieces from the Industrial Savings Bank and Ruth Chapter, No. 16, O. E. S. Thanks are also extended to the honorary and active pallbearers. education. One of his moves was the Carver Industrial thrived for several years moving spirit in the home-returning hero war. She planned su 1310 T Street Northwest. YOUNG MEN'S IMMEDIATE RELIEF ASSOCIATION The Young Men's Immediate Relief Association, one of our well-known and prosperous associations among our people, will hold its 33rd anniversary in John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets northwest, Sunday, February 20th, at which time they will honor the founder, Mr. Alex. H. Brooks; with a testimonial for his long and faithful service. Mr. Brooks is a well-known and highly respected citizen and the honor bestowed is in line with the good reputation of the association. The association stands for a good deal among our people and we know a large attendance will be on hand to greet them. A great revival meeting is being conducted at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Garfield, D. C. Dr. J. A. Taylor, the pastor, is preaching a series of sermons on "How to Get In Touch With Christ." At each service several persons are received for baptism. The church is spiritually alive and ie doing a great work for the cause of Christ. Genuine enthusiasm is manifested by the church in the salvation of the unsaved and has resulted in attracting persons from far and near. The church has great reason to rejoice for having a pastor endowed with such marvelous tact and ability to win souls for Christ. Who's Who In Falls Church. Among, the public spirited women in our town there is no one who outranks in zeal and energy Mrs. Agnes Carver Jones. She works in Sunday School and church enterprises and travels much about the country in the interest of the Fairfax County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. The work at Chesterbrook has been developed largely through her efforts. Mrs. Jones has always been interested in education. One of her first progressive moves was the formation of the Carver Industrial School, which thrived for several years. She was a moving spirit in the entertainment of home-returning heroes of the great war. She planned successful outings for the sick and wounded soldiers of Walter Reed Hospital. She owns a good home in Falls Church. She has devoted much time to developing the Study-Club, which sessions she attends regularly. In politics she is an ardent Republican and is the only colored woman voting in the East Falls Church precinct. Her example should inspire many whose talents lie in the ability to do social service. The Falls Church Study Club met last Wednesday evening. The "Executive Department" of State government was studied, followed by a discussion of current events. THE MAN OF THE HOUR. Hon. Frank B. Willis, United States Senator from Ohio, is the man, who nominated Senator Harding for the Presidency and who has succeeded him in the Senate. He will be one of the great powers at the White House M. FRANK B. WILLIS. under the next administration. The Bee congratulates the new Senator from Ohio and wishes him great success in his high office. Mr. Willis is well known as the people's friend. Editor of The Bee: Because I, too, have a right to rejoice, and do rejoice, in singing that memorable little song "My Country 'Tis of Thee," I beg space through the columns of your valuable paper to say just a few words in behalf of the good name of the country (let us say our country), which is today foremost in the eyes of the civilized world. A new President will soon take his seat in the nation's castle—and may peace, happiness and prosperity hover over that spot of ground and the entire nation alike during all the days of his administration. I say the eyes of the civilized world are upon us. They see all we do. They-aided by the tattling little wires which lie on the ocean's bed—hear all we say. And too often, my Christian American friends, they hear of brutal lynchings of human souls in this great republic. And the burning at the stake of Henry Lowry at Nodena, Ark., on the 26th of January, is enough to make the most savage Turks or the most barbarous German soldiers bow their heads in shame and break down in tears! Lynching in America wouldn't look half so bad if we didn't lay so much claim on Christianity. I would not stain my pen with ink to write a single line in defense of any man, be he white or black, that would commit a crime such as Lowry is charged with, for all such men deserve to be punished severely; but they should be punished according to law. There is absolutely no excuse for lynching in the United States of America, and such lawlessness should be stopped, and stopped at all hazard. All men should be given a trial before the law when they are charged with a crime, for very often innocent men have paid the penalty of death while the guilty parties go scot-free. But in so far as the loyal and faithful colored citizens are concerned, the courts in this country might as well be abolished, for whatever "Judge Lynch" says goes. None of his decisions was ever known to be reversed, and he deals only in cases of death. But the eyes of the civilized world are upon us, and may God help the "white supremacy" to see itself as others see it. Ah, as much as the colored citikens love this great republic, and as much money as they have spent, and as much blood as they have split on battlefields both home and abroad to defend her honor, the road which leads to the courthouse of justice is still very rough and full of thornes. Indeed, the night is dark and they are yet far, from the house of safety. When it comes to general lawlessness and willful mistreatment of her weaker subjects, the United States is in a class by herself. And yet the Christians (?) here spend much money sending missionaries to heathen lands, and for what? Possibly to teach the so-called heathens not to get religion enough to do as they do—burn human souls at the stake and tear the little ones, yet unborn, from their mothers' wombs! Yes, missionaries tell them, not to do these things. But, rather, hold up the cross and tell them that Jesus says, "Love one another as I have loved you," etc. The women of this country have fought, and they fought until they have got the ear of the civilized world. And now they, have a great duty to perform. And they can go about that duty, in no better way than to raise their voices against the lynching of men and women in America. Let the women of this republic cry out against this seeming, epidemic of lawlessness among us, for the proper rulers of this country seem to be entirely asleep and indifferent to the lawlessness which, if not checked, will spell the destruction of this government. Women must come to the fore during this lawless crisis, for the church, led by many of the money-grafting preachers, seems to have lost its savor. There were 69 lynchings in this Christian (?) country in the year just passed into history. But it seems that the South wasn't satisfied with that amount of blood on her hands, and her new year resolution seems to be to reap a heavier harvest of willful murder in 1921. The more the colored people strive to be loyal citizens the more some of the white ingrates seem to discourage them. No wonder, then, the colored citizens so often sing, "Swing low, sweet chariot" etc. Then, too, another shameful thing about this lynching here in America is that the foreign ambassadors and visitors get a chance to see so much of the American hypocrisy, which is a stink to the nostrils of high heaven. J. C. Cunningham. JUVENILE FILMS FOR CHILDREN NECESSARY. Some of the most prominent ladies of Washington who have the interest of the child at heart have for the past two weeks been presenting at the Belasco Theatre each Saturday morning a series of juvenile films that appeal primarily to the mind of the growing child. The wife of the President and the wife of the Vice-President and scores of eminent women and distinguished men have attended these performances, and all pronounce them wholesome and instructive and as filling a great need. These films deal with fairy story legends and depict in impressive and entertaining manner those delightful little episodes of fairy land that are so dear to the heart of the child. They are distinctive and apart entirely from the average thrilling and violent film that tends only to excite the mind of the child: COLORED PROFESSOR FINDS NEW PEANUT PRODUCTS. More than 100 varieties of products from peanuts, ranging from the purest of milks for the sickroom, mothers and infants, to ink useful for writing and sketching, have been discovered by George W. Carver, colored professor of Tuskegee Institute. He demonstrated them to the Ways and Means Committee of Congress and delivered a discourse on them that was greeted with applause from the members and spectators—the first demonstration of the sort the tariff hearings have ever known. Chairman Fordney told him he had made a valuable contribution to science, and Representative Garner, Democrat, of Texas, a member for eighteen years, declared Carver had made the most wonderful exhibition he had ever known to be presented the committee. Professor Carver is 52 years old and the son of ex-slaves. He was born in Diamond, Mo., and his education began at the age of 15 years. His high school training was received at Minneapolis. He is a graduate of Make your skin healthy a A smooth, clear complex free from blemishes and tive of intelligent care Make your skin bright, healthy and beautiful A smooth, clear complexion of delicate softness, free from blemishes and blackheads, is indicative of intelligent care and refinement The Dr. Fred Palmer method of beauty treatment, if used with regularity, promises a reward that will warrant its systematic use.

While he did not go into other investigations he has made, he stated that thus far he has discovered seventeen products that can be made from sweet potatoes. He said the flavoring extract obtainable from the peanut extract could be used as a base for any number of flavors, and he mentioned strawberries, lemon and vanilla, in addition to those he showed the committee.

Miss Ridgely has frequently been the only white person living within the vicinity of Cape Mount, and has had to give medical assistance frequently to the people when they were ill. The Liberians who attend her school speak English, but a number of the girls whom she has raised in her home at Cape Mount have been taken from the native tribes. During her stay there the people have come to adopt may of the customs of civilization and a number of them attend the Episcopal Church which has been built there. Quite a good deal of family romance is woven about Miss Ridgely's career in Africa. She is a member of the distinguished Maryland family whose name she bears and is said to have inherited her desire to assist the African race from a grandmother, who was Sophia Ridgely, the daughter of Governor Ridgely, and who married James Howard, the son of Col. John Eager Howard. "Sophia Howard was my mother's mother," Miss Ridgely's sister said, "and one of the strongest purposes of her life always seemed to be to elevate the colored people who were owned by her father and her husband. She was constantly in their cabins, caring for them when they were sick and endeavoring to educate them. My sister, undoubtedly, inherits this altruism." Miss Ridgely arrived in New York on the Aquitania Sunday. She is at resent convalescing from an illness. RICHARDSON MADE DEAN. Follows B. F. Leighton in Important Post at Howard University. Mason N.

Appearing like a comet upon the English stage in the eighteenth century, he upset the traditions of the theatrical world almost over night, and by his ideas and wonderful art revolutionized the profession of acting. Not only this, but it was not until Garrick's time that the theatrical profession was considered a fit occupation for anyone except a tramp. Garrick, by the sheer genius of his work, made himself a national figure, and entertained and was entertained by the social leaders of London. He introduced the system of reserving seats in theatres, and made his influence felt in countless other ways. Yet it was only because he had failed miserably as a business man that Garrick went on the stage at all. As a young man Garrick was, a wine merchant, starting in business with $5,000 left him by an uncle. When the $5,000 was gone he set about making a living by doing the thing he had always secretly wanted to do—acting. From his earlier years he had followed theatricals closely, and he perceived that the stage traditions were on a false foundation. Actors read their lines standing in one place or striding stiffly about. They relied on ranting, bombast and grimacing to get their parts over. The best acting on the English stage was on a level with that of a modern barn-storming troupe on a small town circuit. Even James Quin, the idol of London theatres, could not have held a job in a ten-twent'-thirt' playhouse today. Garrick saw what no one else did—that the stage presented a chance for really artistic portrayal of character, and that the actors, of his time had not begun to grasp its possibilities.

He believed that the right way to portray a character was to put naturalness, simplicity and ease in place of the puppet-like spouting of lines then in vogue. He saw that a gesture or an attitude could often do more than the lines to put a character over. When you see a real player like William Gillette, Sothern, Marlowe, Faversham, Maude Adams or Hamupen, you can think back to Garrick and remember that he led the way. Garrick got his chance when, one evening, the man who was to play the part of a Harlequin in Goodman's Field Theatre was missing at the last moment. The part carried but few lines, but was rich in stage "business." Garrick jumped into costume—and made the hit of the play. Under an assumed name, he then took part in several plays, gaining experience and self-confidence. His efforts were well received by the audiences, and he was encouraged to try bigger parts. In 1741 he began his first London engagement as a star, taking the title role of Shakespeare's "Richard III." He made an instant hit, and his fame spread to every corner of the British Isles. Soon all London society was flocking to his performances, and other theatres were nearly abandoned. When he went to Dublin the crowds were so great and the weather so hot that an epidemic which broke out was called "Garrick fever." His wages in the early days were $30 a week. Later he shared in the profits of every performance and became rich. Garrick ruled the English stage for 35 years. Finally, on reaching the age of 60, he decided to retire, and in a blaze of glory that followed his farewell tour he stepped into private AL VALUES Everything First-Class Graves Cafe ing and Evening e Desserts drinks of All Kinds every Style Every Meal.

Queen Victoria Court of Calanthe received a visit from Mrs. Emma Murray, grandworthy counsellor, and her staff last Wednesday night in the Pythian Temple. This is one of the young courts of this jurisdiction, made up almost wholly of young women. This court is in a flourishing condition. It was organized by Capt. Victoria Stevenson, of the Drill Corps, for whom the court is named. Promptly at 9 p. m. the grand court officers were announced. They found this bevy of young women standing at "attention" and ready to receive them with Pythian honors. Past Deputy Supreme Counsellor Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, who organized the Grand Court of the District of Columbia, accompanied the staff officers and presided for the evening. Addresses were made by the grand officers, and responses from nearly every member of the court. At 10 o'clock, after a feast of music, recitations and addresses, the guests were, invited to the banquet table, and the delicacies of the season were in abundance. A royal feast they had. There are two other courts which have been recently organized—Helena, organized by Mrs. Helen B. Reid and named for her, and Cleopatra, organized by Mrs. Ellen G. J. Scott. These three courts are largely composed of young folks and bid fair to stand foremost in the work in Washington; THE CHILDREN'S MUSICAL. Attractive and enjoyable was the musical entertainment given by the children between the ages of 3 and 16 at the Lincoln Memorial Church on Friday, February 4. Miss Mary Europe, Mr. Dorsey and others assisted the little ones in this affair. A splendid audience was present and enjoyed the fine speaking and singing of the little folks. An orchestra, with Mr. Dorsey as leader, rendered the "Fliver Song." The singing of the children was a feature of the concert and exhibited a wealth of talent among the group of youngsters. Such affairs as this given more often would be highly appreciated. They are of great value not only to the young folks, but to the older persons. THE BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE, The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity met at 11 a.m., Monday, in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between Twelfth and Thirteenth northwest, with Dr. M. W. D. Norman, president, in the chair, and Dr. J. I. Loving acting as secretary. The conference was largely attended. The reports by the pastors of their Sunday services were very interesting and were greatly enjoyed by all who heard them. The Rev. Dr. F. K. White, of Dallas, Tex., was the orator of the day. His address on evangelism was a masterly effort. He received the congratulations of all who had the pleasure to hear him. He received a formal vote of thanks by the conference. Dr. Roberts, of North Carolina; Mr. Tate, of New York, and others were introduced to the conference and made short addresses. The conference voted to attend the convocation at Howard University in a body on the afternoon of February 24, at which time an address will be delivered by Dr. M. W. D. Norman, president of the conference. The pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, (white) addressed the conference on the importance of reaching the unreached. He presented a long list of non-churchgoers who were found by a canvass that had been made by the Federation of Churches. On motion of Rev. S. G. Lamkins, the names were put in charge of the Executive Committee for investigation. Rev. Dr. Pryor invited the conference to meet at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church and take part in a Bible institute, of which we shall speak more fully in our next report. Rev. S. Geriah Lankins extended in person the thanks of Miss Eva Caine and other members of the family to the conference for their resolutions of sympathy and other kindness on the occasion the death of the late William Calhoun, editor of The Bee. The conference collected 21 to give to two of the sick members—Rev. Dr. Henderson, of 449 Rhode Island avenue, and Rev. R. Johnson, assistant pastor of the First Baptist Church of Southwest Washington. Rev. Dr. Withson, the noted evangelist of the South, preached two able sermons at the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church last Sunday. DR. SHEPARD HONORED. (Special to The Bee.) Durham, N. C., Feb. 8.-The Masonic Fraternity of this State, which is one of the largest and most progressive bodies of the order in any State in the Union, has overwhelmingly elected as grand master Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School in this city. The new grand master is eminently qualified to fill the duties of the office and is already mapping out his program of activities for the future progress of the order in North Carolina. Dr. Shepard represents the best type of our racial manhood in the State and is known as a strong contender for full manhood rights, equal opportunity in industry, education and civic affairs for every member of the race. He has spoken plainly in the North and South against segregation and jim-crow conveyances for colored people. Justice for all according to the law is his ipse dixit.

May they ever find friends like our late editor who will help them in their struggles toward the light." TO THE COLORED BUSINESS MEN. Washington has great reason to be proud of the growing spirit of thrift and progress now being shown by so large a class of our colored men who are as never before branching out in all business lines. This, more than anything else, marks real and prominent racial progress. It comes with tremendous force and power when we can point to our own men doing business in their own right on a high, lofty and independent scale. Every such man of the race deserves the hearty encouragement of every member of the race whenever and wherever it is possible to give such encouragement. It is also important that we should go further. It is highly necessary that those colored men who are so fortunate as to be the pioneers along business lines should feel that a great responsibility rests upon them, not only to deal on the square, in an upright and honest manner, but that they should have their places of business conducted in such manner as that the most refined and cultured of the race will feel it a pleasure, as well as a privilege, to patronize their places of business. Too often we have observed laxity along this line. Patronage should not be expected on the ground of color, but purely on merit and fair dealing. Here we can be mutually helpful—the patron and the proprietor. Might we not suggest that the time is fully ripe for the good people of Washington, of all factions of whatever name, to get together? No line can be drawn in any community that will place all the good people on the one side and all the bad on the other. There must necessarily be some good on both sides of the line; and the responsibility therefore rests with the good people to put away strife and bickerings and get together for constructive work for the uplift of the whole race. If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness? If the good and the intelligent of the race be divided into camps, the one arrayed against the other, what may we expect of those who make no pretense of higher and better things? The call is most urgently pressed home to the people of the entire city of Washington to consider most earnestly and carefully the above suggestion. Put it up to those who proclaim themselves as leaders of the people; put it up to those who have your confidence as preachers and teachers and demand of them why it is necessary longer that there should be a dividing line arraying friend against friend and family against family and making the life of all miserable and ineffective? The Bee from now on shall confidently expect improvement along this line without calling attention to this important feature of its work and mission. The Bee congratulates the Masonic fraternity of Durham, N. C., in its selection of Dr. James E. Shepard, president, of the National Training School of Durham, as grand master. We feel that Dr. Shepard is fully capable and highly qualified to perform the new duties to which he is wisely called. tion of our readers is called to an article elsewhere in peaks of important changes that are being made Dr. Durkee is doing all in his power to But before it reaches the.height make several more Howard University institution of retired and "I know what the future hath Of marvel or surprise Assured alone if life or death, God's mercy underlies.

Colored Washington is to be felicitated and the members of the Mu-So-Lit Club are to be congratulated that in Washington a gentlemen's club for men of color, owned by men of color, and managed by men of color, is now an actual and tangible realization. Unfortunately, many colored citizens—and often substantial ones—have looked upon clubs as luxuries and as extra-community activities. They have regarded them as gathering places for dilettantes, as idling halls for smokers and game players, as refuge centers for the frivolous and near-frivolous. The truth, however, is that no social agency is more helpful, more beneficial and more necessary than a club of real gentlemen. Man is primarily a gregarious creature; he herds by instinct. Therefore, he should have a suitable stamping ground on which to herd. The new Mu-So-Lit Club offers to two hundred gentlemen—men of the same common larger social outlook—just this opportunity for realizing a pristine call. The reaction, moreover, that will result from the consequent intimate associations and interchange of ideas will be particularly significant in general to the city at large. This is so patent as to call for no further argument. Again, the rapid development, rise and expansion of colored commercial interests in Washington during the past five years has been so marked that the most casual observer has been forced to take notice. Now, then, it is a known fact that the greatest clearing house for great business deals is the American clubhouse. Fortunately, the Mu-So-Lit Club includes on its roster many of the most prominent and promising business men of color, and the colored community—and for that matter, the community as a whole—is bound to be benefited by the helpful reaction to come from the opportunities and affiliations incident and dependent upon Mu-So-Lit Club life. The Bee is happy to see such a movement in the proper direction consummated. The vision and leadership of the men who effected it merits the full praise of the community, and their contributions should ever remain a priceless heritage in the eyes of the club members. A PICTURE OF THE QUAINT OLD CITY OF ALEXANDRIA, VA., BETWEEN 1800 AND 1846 Those enjoying today all the benefits of untrammeled educational facilities can but feebly estimate the restraints and limitations placed before the Civil War on those of the colored race "south of Mason and Dixon's Line," though they were nominally free. The subjoined account of early Alexandria is furnished by Mr. Daniel Murray, who has been for many years engaged in gathering matter to, form an "Historical and Biographical Encyclopedia of the Colored Race Throughout the World." Some incidents of the early struggles of the colored race to rise are herein set forth. Interesting Episodes in the Life of Alfred H. Parry, the First Colored School Teacher in Alexandria, Va. In forming the seat of government, to secure an area ten miles square, Alexandria was incorporated into the District of Columbia, and was so a part up to 1846, when the part formerly Virginia was returned. The colored inhabitants of Alexandria fared well along educational lines as those north of the Potomac, which was something, as the following narrative will disclose: Alfred H. Parry, early colored school teacher in Alexandria, Va., was born of slave parentage in Alexandria, Va., in 1805, but became free, while yet a child, having been purchased for the sum of $50, when his mother purchased her freedom in 1809. The same year Mrs. Cameron, a white Virginia lady, opened a school for colored children at the corner of Duke and Fairfax streets, Alexandria. Another school for colored children was opened at the corner of Pitt and Prince streets by Mrs. Tutten, a white lady. These were private schools, for which instruction the parents paid. It is stated that before Parry's mother was allowed to purchase her own freedom, an attempt was made to sell her apart from her boy; and in her desperation she seized the child and threw it into the Potomac, from which it was rescued, alive, with great difficulty. About 1815, as the record notes, a free colored school was organized in Alexandria on Washington street by some benevolent whites and placed in the charge of the Rev. James H. Hanson, a white pastor of a colored Methodist church. It was at this school young Parry, began his scholastic career, which he continued, either as pupil or teacher, until 1843, when he removed to Washington, D. C., where he engaged in other lines and was living in 1870. In an article on the "Colored Schools of Alexandria," found at page 283 of the "Special Report of the Commissioner of Education," it is stated that Mr. Parry began with a small night school, which he gradually increased to such a size that it came under the notice of the authorities immediately following the Nat Turner insurrection of August, 1831. This agitation on the part of some prejudiced whites became so persistent that in 1837 Mayor Bernard Howe summoned Mr. Parry before him in his office and told him of the complaints touching his life work and that he regarded the school as an "unlawful assembly" in the eyes of the law. To meet this menace to the continuation of his school, Mr. Parry hired a white man to be present at each session of his night school, and this proved satisfactory to the civil authorities: The Nat Turner affair, in its influence on the progress of the colored race, led to riots in Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati and the famous "Snow riot" in Washington, D.C., in 1835. Parry's last schoolhouse was located at the corner of Duke and Wolf streets, Alexandria, at which a number of slave children were pupils, having been granted written permits by their owners." The owner paid the tuition fee, saying in his permit: "I am willing my servant A. B. shall attend the school taught by Alfred H. Parry, corner Duke and Wolf streets." When Mr. Parry married is not stated. Miss Jones, who became Mrs. Alfred H. Parry, was born at Ravensworth, Va., but was, however, free from birth. Her mother, Elizabeth Jones, it seems, was George Washington's Mount Vernon slaves and had been by him just before the birth of her daughter. The daugh- v educated, having been reared in the family of Mr. a highly respected Quaker merchant of Alexan- as a school teacher with Mr. Parry was Miss ed lady, who opened a primary school on Washington street in her own home. She had just begun, it seems, when the Nat Turner insurrection took place. As she was within the lines of the District of Columbia, she was able to continue her school, notwithstanding the bitter opposition launched against it. But she had to close it in 1846, when Alexandria became again a part of the State of Virginia. The next colored teacher in Alexandria we shall notice was Joseph Ferrell, who, while following his vocation as a baker, kept for some years a school located in an alley between Duke and Prince streets. For a long time his keeping school under the conditions named above was suspected of being a blind to an underground railroad station, and this proved true. In time he was arrested and given a long-term sentence for assisting runaway slaves. The Act of Retrocession, which became effective July 9, 1846, made it possible for the authorities in Virginia, enforcing the iron despotism of the brutal "Virginia Black Code," to close every school for colored children in Alexandria, and even their churches. Then, for the next sixteen years, or until the rebel hordes were driven out, the colored people of Alexandria were shut up in a city devoted to ignorance—a pall that sixty years later had scarcely scratched. It was in Alexandria, on May 24, 1861, that Col. Elmer Ellsworth was shot down for hauling down the rebel flag floating over the Marshal House there. Notwithstanding the bitterness of the rebel element displayed in the above-described tragedy, Miss Mary Chase (colored) opened on September 1, 1861, a school on Columbia street near Wolf, and on October 1 of the same year Miss Sarah A. Gray, who had been a pupil of Miss Myrtilla Miner and Mrs. Jane A. Crouch, opened the second colored school of that period.

It meets regularly in Mr. Patterson's barber shop, on Sheriff road, facing Whittingham place, on the first and third Mondays of each month. This club was organized to promote the intellectual ability of the young men of Deanwood. An interesting subject was debated at the meeting last Monday evening on "Resolved, That the beast of burden is of more-benefit than motor power propelled by steam or gasoline." Some very interesting --- points were brought out. Mr. Patterson took the affirmative and Mr. T. Keen the negative. The judges awarded their decision to the affirmative. Messrs. George Johnson, Robt. Butler and J. T. Brown acted as judges. The officers of the club are as follows: President, R. Jackson; vice-president, A. Bagby, Sr.; secretary, A. Bagby, Jr.; treasurer, C.

DEPARTMENTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA The Teacher Training Department The Divinity School The Commercial Department The Department of Home Economics The Department TERM OPENS S For further information PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. The number of candidates for the position of Register of the United States Treasury is steadily increasing. A canvass shows that my friend A. E. Malone, of St. Louis, is one of the leading candidates for this position. I do not doubt that Mr. Malone would be the right man for the position. The appointment of Mr. Malone to this high position would be greeted with approval by a large majority of the colored American voters. He is one of the most enterprising men among our race today. He is a man who does not seek, but one who is sought. My friend Conway, of O Street Market fame, is fast becoming one of the city's largest and most popular produce dealers. I stopped at his stand last week and was surprised at the variety of goods which he carried. This is another example of thrift. The way in which reservations are being made, it seems that the calling off of the inaugural festivities by President-elect Harding has had no effect upon the colored Americans who are planning on coming to this city on March 4. The reservations have practically been exhausted at the Whitelaw. My friend Lewis is being flooded with applications. Gov. Thomas C. McRae, of Arkansas, needs to be praised for his stand on lynching and mob violence. Gov. McRae describes mob violence as an assault, first, upon law and order and constitutional government, and second, upon the life of the individual. He further says that mobs do not reason, have no sense of justice, no respect for God or man. Further, he says that we must devise methods of averting surrender to the mob spirit. These statements are facts which cannot be denied. The following is a statement by Gov. McRae in reference to the recent lynchings: "Officers who will not protect their prisoners should be removed from authority. An officer who permits a prisoner to be taken from his custody by self-constituted avengers, should be made to suffer for their connivance. The Attorney General of the State or any prosecuting attorney of any district, might be empowered to proceed against such offending sheriff or other officer, and a statute promoting this should be enacted by the present General Assembly. "The lynching in Mississippi county recently will stand, out as a conspicuous disgrace to our State. In this particular case there was no suspicion that the courts could not or would not act promptly and properly. This instance is fairly typical of the uselessness of illegal execution. There is no need to debate the horrible angles of this situation, which is a subject for sober reflection upon the part of citizens who believe in law and order and who condemn anarchy in any --- TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORT For further information and Catalog, address "I insist that your honorable body address itself to an early consideration of a bill to fix responsibility specifically upon the officer who neglects his duty to protect the life of his prisoner, making as part of the penalty forfeiture of his office, and giving the attorney authority to institute such action as may be necessary in any county in the State, recognizing that local authorities are usually intimidated by the prospect of a vengeance which might be as readily launched against an officer as against a helpless criminal prisoner." Colored Laborer, Suddenly Rich, Too Settled in His Ways to Bother About New-Fangled Things. 8 Newark, N. J., Feb. 8.—All that was needed in the dingy room where Caesar Dewitt, colored, sat and mused yesterday, to make his visions of air castles complete, was a silvery cloud. Knowledge that he was no longer a day laborer, that at any time he could give a week's notice that he was giving up his room at 86 Orange street to move to his villa on the Hudson, carried him on the wings of fancy above this earth. A willing photographer supplied the silvery cloud—smoke from a charge of flashlight powder—and Caesar came back to earth, choking and coughing. A $25-a-week laborer, who at 56 suddenly comes into $68,000 through the death of an uncle whom he had lost track of, can afford to trip along on air for awhile. Caesar realized this and was tripping rather chipperly. He was on his way out when he was invited to have his picture taken. He was in a hurry, but—it's different when you want to take a picture. So he posed rigidly in his easy chair and for the "nth" time read the advertisement in the colored folks' weekly that led him to the post of gold. To make his appearance more natural and, incidentally, more prosperous, he placed a regular 15-cent cigar between his lips. "Take as much time as you need," he said.

The landlady in an adjoining room let out a shriek and ran into the hallway. She was assured that no harm had befallen Caesar and went back to her household duties. His Wicked Roll. When the operation was over Caesar dug into the last threadbare trousers he'll ever wear and produced a wicked roll. How much was wanted, he asked. Shades of Ponzil It was no new experience for the photographer, however, and as he folded up his tripod he gave Caesar a lecture on thrift. Incidentally, he told him to keep the door locked. Plenty of pleasant strangers and friends would be around to tell him how to invest his money. "Don't worry," Caesar remarked. "I'm too settled in my ways to bother about these new-fangled things." He didn't want to talk any more, cause he had nothing to say. He had already told all there was to tell about his inheriting $60,000 in real estate and $8,000 in cash from an uncle who he didn't know was dead. There wasn't anything more to say. Of course, his uncle was a wonderful man, descended direct from an Indian chief. All of his ancestors were from the North; there was no Southern blood in Caesar. Caesar was going out; he didn't say where. Rest assured the lure of the gaming table for the younger set in his race had no appeal for him. He was too set in his ways. He'd rather sit at home and read. He is fond of reading. The Bible was the only book in sight. He has read considerably for the last week, though, cause he hasn't worked. The plant in which he worked as a laborer shut down. Not Up On Family Tree. Caesar is proud of his stock. He would like, to tell more about the Indians who went before him, but in recent years he has not kept up on the family tree. Now that he has more time, he'll probably dig it up. He couldn't recall the name of the Indian chief who got the grant of land from the Government up in 9 Kingston, N. Y., and eventually became rich from the stone quarry that is now Caesar's. There isn't much left to this particular branch of the Dewitt family now. Caesar has a son, a widower like himself, and his son has one son. That is the family. Shortly Caesar will go to Kingston to look over his property. His uncle left two houses up there, built four years ago. As soon as the weather gets warmer, and the quarry opens again Caesar will take charge and operate it. The income from it, he declares, is substantial. THIMBLE NOTES. We are busy and working hard. Miss F. L. Madella highly entertained us last week in the pink room of the Y. W. C. A., 901 Rhode Island avenue. 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 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. Miss Lillian Burk works with more vim and enthusiasm since he return from Raleigh. Miss Mary O. Chaney was the Thimble representative at the Y. W. C. A. membership meeting and she brings back a lovely report. Mrs. Marie O. Blake was re-elected as president; Miss Lillian Burke, vice-president, and Miss F. L. Madella, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Lucile Banks, Mrs. Agnes Holmes and Mrs. Lucy Miles are new members.

Washington has been awarded thé highest honor possible in Erasmus Hall athletics, says the Brooklyn . Eagle. The football and baseball star thas earned the- right: to have his name inscribed on the Me- Glue all-round athletic trophy for the year 1920. Washington ‘is a .hard worker and goes into athletics whole- heartedly, with the result that he has been on the football team for four years and the 1921.season will be his fourth ‘season on-the diamond. He is also a hockey player of considerable ability. . ‘ As a first-term freshman in Sep- tember, 1917, he went out for the’var- sity-eleven and made a place as regu- Jar substitute end on the team whose Goal line was never’ crossed, Then, when spring came, Joe donned a base- ball suit and held down third sack in stich a manner as to gain a place in the hearts of all Erasmus.- As’a bat- ter he ranked with the best on the team, In 1918 and.1919 Joe was the regular left-end on the eleven aid was chosen on the all-scholastic foot-. ball teams.

The most eminent physicians recognize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric acid poison is present in the joints, muscles, or nerves. By experimenting and analysis at the Invalide's Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called "An-uric"—which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you should obtain "Anuric" at the drug store; or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package. "Anuric" is many times more potent than lithia. TABLE BOARD. For best table board, see Mrs. L. K. Harrison, 11Q1 Q Street N. W., or phone North 3634. Wm. W. Nunley service is in a treat Nunley Co.
