Washington Bee

Harding Twice Pledges Faith to Country PLEDGES HIMSELF TO DO JUSTLY, TO LOVE MERCY, TO WALK HUMBLY WITH GOD Warren G. Harding, the twenty-ninth President of the United States, was inaugurated on the portico of the east front of the Capitol on March 4, in the presence of a mighty throng of people, about noon of a perfect day. Two oaths were embodied in the ceremony. The first one he gave when the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court extended to him the Bible upon which George Washington swore faithful intent 132 years ago. The second was a voluntary oath which was conceived from his deeply religious conception of the meaning of his call to the Presidency, which he uttered as he finished his inaugural address. With his gaze and his right hand lifted to the skies, he said: "What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God? This I plight to God and country." There was a marked absence of pomp and show. There was none of the carnival spirit that Washington has known in the past. No long column of proudly marching military or civic organizations. But there was a true thrill in the simple and solemn ceremony that took place in the Senate chamber and then at the east portico of the Capitol which made the day a notable one. As colored America stood basking in the brilliant sunlight which flooded the idols of their choice with its golden light, their minds mused on the greater light which the words uttered by Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge brought to their weary souls: "I believe the Negro of America should be guaranteed this enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed; that their sacrifice in blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all freedom and opportunity, all sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."—Senator Harding's speech of acceptance. "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing one dollar out of every five they possessed in Liberty Bonds. Surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from lynching and to be freely granted equal opportunity."—Calvin Coolidge in his speech of acceptance. In these words the administration gives concrete expressions to the whole concept of the forthcoming administration. May God help him to make real his good and noble intent. VOL.

J. Mavety, corresponding secretary of the Methodist Board of Education for the colored American, successor to the Freedman's Aid Society. This statement shows that of the $1,075,000 pledged for the colored American education by the Methodist Centenary for a period of five years, at the end of the first year $230,000, over one-fourth the entire sum has been paid; in spite of the fact that the financial depression has cut down the Centenary collection to 72 per cent of the sum expected. The support given to the cause of the colored education by the leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church thus exceeds that given to any other of the many pressing demands upon their funds which were apportioned on the basis of complete collection. This loyalty in time of depression and shrinkage has been much appreciated by the 350,000 colored American Methodists, whose devotion to their church has been an outstanding feature of their group and was recognized in many speeches on the floor of the quadrennial General Conference at Des Moines, May last, The Washington Bee where two colored American ministers were elected bishops with full rank and powers: The Methodist Board of Education for the colored American supervises such institutions as Clark University, Atlanta, Ga.; George R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo.; Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; Samuel Huston College, Austin, Texas; Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss.; Flint-Goodridge Hospital, and Nurses' Training School and New Orleans College, New Orleans; and Bennett College, Greensboro, N. C. At practically all of these institutions new buildings or extensions and repairs are either in process or in contemplation, according to Secretary Maveety.

CAPACITY CROWD AT ANTI-KU KLUX MEETING Fully Three Thousand Persons Pack Metropolitan Baptist Church at Rallying Call of the Crusader Magazine. That the people in Washington are earnestly interested in and opposed to the resurrection of the pernicious Ku Klux Klan was emphatically demonstrated on Monday evening, February 28, upon the occasion of the anti-Ku Klux Klan demonstration staged under the auspices of the Crusader Magazine at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. At an early hour the church was packed to capacity by a crowd of fully 3,000 persons. The speakers were Attorney Armond W. Scott, J. Finley Wilson, Attorney Wilson, Rev. Brooks and Mr. Arthur W. Mitchell, who presided. A great wave of enthusiasm was aroused by the reading by the youngest son of Rev. Brooks of an original poem on the Ku Klux Klan. A substantial sum was taken up for the work of counter-propaganda which the Crusader is organizing and for which purpoes it has already appointed a Committee on Propaganda. The meeting was arranged and organized by Miss Florence Hunt, to whose indefatigable energy is largely due its success. TWO WORTHY SISTERS.

An Appreciation Of Impending Per- af plexities, * . The\ Bee extends greetings to our great Republic's new Executive, one of; the journalistic : craft— Warren Gamaliel Harding. The country, through its ‘unmistak- able verdict at the polls last. Novem- ber, definitely sought, and now ‘defi- nitely, finds, sucease from Democratic conirof. America’s new instrumental- ity—the Harding administration—is to be “in charge as. “the ‘older: order changeth, yielding place to new.” At no.time since the first. inaugura- tion of Abraham. Lincoln has an -in~ coming. President found himself. on such, a sea of perplexing, menacing and ominous problems. In fact, the “ship of state” is on a strange. ocean, and in her sailings o’er these unknown waters she is practically without the thart and-compass of previous experi- ence: These safeguards are to be evolved by. Harding and:his' co-work- ers—the duty devolves ‘upon them, ~ In these times of crisis all Amer- icans must be patient and sympathetic in their attitude toward the plans and efforts of the new administration, This. docs not _entail’-blind servile obeisance and acceptance; it calls rather for a sane, intelligent and con- structively receptive state of mind. Intelligence .bides its criticisms; makes sure that they are founded. on patriotism, not prejudice; proves that they are catholic,-not provincial; and then seeks.reconstruction, not destruc- tion. * . ek Toward Mr. Harding and each of his advisors The Bee -recominends that all Americans manifest just this attitude of “open-mindedness, sincer- ‘ity and serious and devout concern, TRIP TO WEST AFRICA, | The African Intérland Missionary Society has just’ completed arrange- ments for a two-month tourist's: trip to West Africa. A 1,400-ton’ passen- ger steamer de luxe has Been secured for this ‘tour and will sail from Balti- more.on November 15,1921, return- ing about January 15, 1922.

The affairs of the Prince are being conducted by, Maj. W. H. York; who has spent much time in Africa and who is now giving his entire:time to the African subject. . LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor of The Bee: Pigg Now that Mrs.’ Harding, the first lady of the land, is in, the White House, it is earnestly hoped that ‘she will set a new example along the dressing liné for the women in this countryi-for, for the last ten” or fif: teen years these women scem to be determined’ to go naked, both in thé streets ‘and in. the churches. These poor creatures (while they need to be pitied rather ‘than censured) putt. on too-many unnecessary airs to be seen of men. There is absolutely no scise inthese women wearing.their dresses as short as they-do,’ If modesty does not make them wear their’ dresses about, the shdctop, the law ought to take a ‘hand in the, business. S Doubtless these short dresses, aré the cause of-so’matiy people being rut over by automobiles driven by ‘men. Once.some of the crazy men get theif éyes rivéted ‘on a, woman's shanks they'll ru smack into the Potomac River without “thinking where they are: going: Hence, the first: lady .of the land should set the example and the law should compel all others to follow.

Cheap Car Fare To School Children Or Dividends To Stockholders. Or Dividends To Stockholders. A recent issue of the Evening Star estimated, according to information furnished by the author of a petition to Congress in behalf of lower car fare for school children, "that approximately $980 per day, or $191,000 a year, represents the car fare paid by the pupils attending the day and night schools in Washington." As a remedy, the same citizen urged "that Congress may authorize a lower car fare for the school children, the same to be either half fare or not less than six tickets for a quarter." The Bee is not only favorable to this proposal, but would go one better and say that it sees no reason why a tariff of revenues for expenses only should not be worked out by a committee from the merged companies and the Public Utilities Commission and made applicable to school children. These miniature men and women, who are seen today with books and manuscripts tucked beneath their arms as they wend their way to the schoolhouses, are clay in the potter's hands. They are to determine the tomorrow of today's America. These children must be protected in their right to get an education. This supersedes the question of returns to stockholders. Public-service corporations are essentially to promote public—not private—interests. Too much 6 per cent for stockholders will make it too much intellectually "sick" per cent so far as the children are concerned, and this will be a dreadful social malady. NATIONAL WOMAN'S PARTY. The convention has just closed. The sessions were held in the Washington Hotel. Quite a number of colored women were present as delegates. Richmond, Phoebus, Norfolk and Hampton, Va., were represented. Maryland also sent delegates. We noted Mrs. Galnetta. Pelham with the Michigan delegation. The National Association of Colored Women was ably represented by its president, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, who was assigned a prominent place in the pageant. Her two aides were Miss Josephine Hamilton and Mrs. A. L. Gray. Miss Hamilton was flower girl. Miss Brown was also assigned to the Committee on Resolutions. "In union there is strength." We can accomplish much together; absolutely nothing when we are apart. A national league was organized at the Y. W. C. A. last week. Dr. Sarah Brown was unanimously elected as chairman and Miss Jeannette Carter as secretary. The colored women throughout the country are awake and forming clubs and planning to present a solid front for any emergency that may arise in the future.

There were present representatives from nearly every State in the Union. The call was responded to by delegates from even the icebound shores of Alaska. The mysterious part of the whole affair is summed up in one question: Why was not a call issued to the masses of colored Americans in the District of Columbia and adjacent States? The women of these sections who had done the major part of the work for the success of the G. O. P. in the recent presidential election should have received their proper recognition. They should have been notified and permitted to elect their own State representative from the ranks of women who had "put the ticket over the top." As it was, only two or three of the 112,000 colored American citizens of the District of Columbia had knowledge of the meeting. This same condition existed in many of the States. Why this method of procedure; this secrecy? The State of Maryland is represented by a hand-picked leader—Mrs. Howard-Young. The District of Columbia has not even a hand-picked one. This condition has thrown these two sections into a state of Republican turmoil, and the clubwomen have called meetings to file a vigorous protest against such high-handed procedure. The Bee gives due warning that the Republican women of the District of Columbia and the adjacent States are not going to support any hand-picked leaders. No kind of an autocracy is going to find a place in the ranks of these Republican women, whether it is mothered by hand-picked Republican women or fathered by hand-picked Republican men. The Bee thinks that the women's organizations should cooperate with those of the men, and vice versa, but it should not be dominated by the men. The progress of America for the next four years and the stability of the world depend to a large extent upon the welfare of the individual citizens. This welfare depends upon the determination of each citizen in his effort to return to normal. Look not for any miraculous cure; the burden of this is upon the individual. Well, the inauguration of President Warren G. Harding is over. My first stop last Friday, was at the Capitol, where I witnessed the inauguration ceremonies and listened to the inaugural address of President Harding. I will not stop here to discuss the long and short of the aforementioned, but-pass on to my next stop, which was at Pythian Temple, where a matinee was in progress. This affair was well attended, considering the fact that the majority of the people were still downtown. Leaving this place I wandered around until near the hour of 10, when I thought I would visit the Coliseum, where a reception was in progress under the auspices of the "Citizens Inaugural Committee." I was surprised to find not more than 500 persons in attendance. The result of this reception will be the publication of a new "Blues," the words of, which will be written by "I know that there are no errors In the great eternal plan And that all things work together For the final good of man And I know as my soul spe eds onward In its eternal quest I shall say, as ilook back earthward, Whatever is, is best. ly democratic!

Last but not least I strolled into Convention Hall, expecting to be compelled to elbow my way in, but to my utmost surprise there were no more than 300 persons in attendance. The last-named affair-was under the auspices of the "Negro Press Association" and naturally I expected to find quite a gathering. Not only was I disappointed in the attendance, but what was more surprising was the fact that out of 18 or 20 refreshment booths only about 15 were run by Greeks and the remaining were under the supervision of colored Americans. It was while visiting a booth run by a colored American, situated in the corner of the hall, that I noticed one of the promoters, a great race advocate, purchasing refreshments for a lady from a booth operated by a Greek. Where is our race pride? Talking about jazz orchestra and good music, well, the music that I heard last Friday night at the Convention Hall was the best that I have heard in many a day. The tune was excellent and the harmony was unsurpassed. Louis Brown, my good friend, deserves great praise for his selection of this orchestra, which was composed of 20 of the city's best musicians. The reception of the Oldest Inhabitants was indeed an occasion long to be remembered. I thought when I entered the hall last Monday night that every person whom I knew was in attendance—everybody seemed to be present. I left there about 10:30 and made a short run to the Coliseum, where the Masonic fraternity was holding its inaugural reception and, really, it was necessary for me to elbow my way in the hall. I, for the first time, realized that there were so many colored Americans in this town. After the dancing began many of my friends decided to go to the side lines. Charley Ford was not to be denied; he was "right there for you," but I understand that quite a few, including Walter-Dixon, made purchases of liniment on Tuesday morning. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mrs. Millie Brown and Miss Gladys Norris, of Washington, and Mrs. Melvina Monrose, of Chicago, were the recent guests of Mrs. Bertha Johnson and Mrs. Louise Farmer. *** Mrs. Pearl Jones was hostess to the Handicraft Club, Saturday night of last week. *** Miss Florence Moten spent several days in the town last week as the guest of Mrs. Francis Jones. *** Mr. Charlie Turley, of Fairfax, brother of Mrs. Bettie Brent, died suddenly at his home last Tuesday. Funeral services were held last Friday afternoon from his late residence. The Falls Church Glee Club sang at Bailey's Cross-Roads Tuesday night of last week. *** The Household of Ruth gave an enjoyable supper at the Hall Friday night, March 4. *** The Pastors' Study Club, through the efforts of Mrs. Martha Wade, will have Queen Esther rendered for them by talent of Washington, Easter Monday night. This promises to be quite a musical trial, and a large audience is expected. Admission is only 25 cents. *** Mr. Henry Lee, of Keene, Pa., is visiting his father, Mr. Ruben Lee. Mr. Ollie Tinner made a flying visit to Marten, Va., on "important business" last week. Mr. Wm. Snowden, who has been confined to his home on account of illness, is improving. The drama entitled, "The Country Cousin," presented by the Falls Church Dramatic Club last Thursday night at the Methodist Church, was greatly enjoyed by the large and appreciative audience who were out to hear them. The members of the club included Mesdames Edith Murray and Mary Roy, Misses Marjory Coates, Helen Robinson and Delicie Chew, Messrs. Tobert Thomas, Sam Murray and Lethon Marshall Mrs. Estella Young, of Baltimore, wife of Dr. H. E. Young, and Mrs. E. B. Henderson were the guests of Mrs. Jas. H. Meriwether, of Washington, at dinner Friday, March 4, after which Mrs. Henderson was hostess to the party to one of the local theatres. * * * On the 17th of March "The Crab Village Lyceum" will be given at the Baptist Church under the leadership of Mrs. Wade. The program of the Mothers' Council at the Baptist Church Sunday night, under the direction of Mrs. Lena Dixon, was up to the usual degree of high standard. Mr. Cato Adams, of Washington, made the address, the topic of which was, "Idleness: Its Causes and Effects." Others who took part were Mesdames Agnes Jones, Frances Coates, Elmira Lee; Miss Alberta Fitzhugh and Mr. Floyd Evans. Mrs. Susie Campbell is visiting relatives in town. Mrs. Nacie Dunston, of Washington, was the guest of her sister, Mrs. Jas. Byrd, Sunday afternoon. An elaborate program for Men's Day at the Galloway M. E.

Wm. Duson and Tolbert Thomas are recovering nicely from slight operations upon the nose and throat. Who's Who in Falls Church. Some say the good die young, and if the bad live to be old Mr. Isaac Peyton, of Falls Church, is an exception. There is no virtue in being young or in being old, or in being original, for we have young fools, old fools, and original fools—it all depends on other qualities in the young, old, or original person. Mr Peyton has rendered inestimable service to the people in Falls Church. He is still active in body and mind. He remembers without difficulty happenings of Civil War days. For a long time Mr. Peyton was the village undertaker. He is now the backbone of the Third Baptist Church. He is broad in his views and liberal. He owns considerable land and is a thrifty farmer.

HOW I BECAME A SUCCESSFUL DRESSMAKER. In early childhood I desired to be a dressmaker. It came to my mind one day that I could make my own shirtwaists. So I bought some black and white striped material to make my first shirtwaist. I then borrowed a pattern and set to work. Having no knowledge of cutting, of course I cut the stripes running around my body instead of up and down. Wefl, to console myself, I said: "The zebra, has stripes running around his body, and I will call this a zebra waist." I put the waist together and I did not know how to put the sleeves in. I thought of a dressmaker two miles away to whom I carried my waist to get her to show me how to put in the sleeves. She said, "I have no time; but as you have walked so far, I will help you." Finally; after many difficulties, I got my waist completed. In after years I came to Washington, still with the desire to become a dressmaker. I went to several dressmakers in this city and asked them if they wanted a girl to help sew. Day after day I walked the streets of this city trying to get the position as apprentice in some, establishment. The reply always was, "No, I have no time to bother with untrained girls." After repeatedly walking and begging, I decided I would try to get a place where I could give my services free of charge. The reply I got was, "No, I need some one with experience." At last I came to the door of a, tall, kind-faced lady by the name of Mrs. A. R. Clarke. I asked her if she taught dressmaking. She said, "Yes; you may enter at any time, day or evening." So I entered the Clarke Training School in 1906 and took the course in dressmaking. After having finished my training, the doors that were once closed were now open, because I had been taught how to sew, cut and fit. This is the day for trained women, and no one is fit for the world without training. For the past fourteen years I have been able to earn an independent living with the aid of the tape measure, needle and scissors. I was offered a position in the Government, but I found I realized more financially from my trade than what the Government was paying. So by the help of Almighty God and through the instruction of the Clarke Training School my customers are, among the best families in Washington, and I have been able to make garments worn at social functions at the White House and various other prominent The following lines express my reasons I Representative for for conducting my business in this way. Geo. A. Parker. Co., Phila.; Pa. COLORED AMERICAN WOMEN IN POLITICS. The following is an extract from a letter which is sent to the women of the country by Nannie H. Burroughs, secretary of the Federation of Republican Women's Forums: "Since colored women have the ballot, they must not undervalue it. They must study municipal problems—men and measures, parties and principles. The race is doomed unless colored women take an active part in local, State and national politics. They must study and measure the men and women who aspire to public office. They must oppose parties and candidates opposed to equal citizenship. They must organize to fight discrimination and class legislation. They must not sell their votes. They must use them to eelct the right brand of Americans to office. "You will render us great service by answering the following questions and returning this blank promptly." "I am collecting information with a view to using it in the most effective way to help our women become a mighty factor in the bbby politic. "Thanking you in advance for your cooperation, I am, "Yours truly, "Nannie H. Burroughs. JESSE A SHIPPE MAY-BE FIRST COLORED REFEREE To Mr. Jesse A. Shippe, Jr., of Harlem, will probably fall the honor of being the first colored man to be granted a license by the Amateur Athletic Association of America to referee boxing contests under the rules and regulations of the A. A. U. This fact became known when Capt. L. V. Meehan appeared before the executive committee of the A. A. U. and agreed in behalf of Mr. Shippe. The committee will grant Capt. Meehan's request, and appoint Mr. Shippe an official A. A. U. referee. This will mean that he will not alone be eligible to referee the Fifteenth Infantry Amateurs, but will also be in a position to act as referee at any boxing tournament held under the A. A. U. rules.

A Leaf Taken From Murray's Historical and Biographical Encyclopedia of the Colored Race Throughout the World. MILBURN, RICHARD, i. e., "Dick Milburn, composer of 'Listen To the Mocking Bird.'" It has long been observed that the African possessed certain musical traits of a high order, and that with proper training he was destined to reach a commanding place in the musical world. This opinion is amply sustained by the career of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who by his genius attained in 1907, to the highest honors accorded a musician. And today he is spoken of and his music played throughout Europe and America. As great and musically prominent as Mr. Coleridge-Taylor is today, the same was accorded to George A. P. Bridge-tower, also a colored man, and in honor of whom Beethoven dedicated his famous musical composition known as the "Kreutzer Sonata." Then there was the Chevalier Georges, the companion about 1776-1793 of kings; queens, princes and the European nobility generally. Richard Milburn, author of "Listen to the Mocking Bird," lacked the scientific training of the aforementioned, but had musical taste. In the work of establishing the authorship of this once popular song, happily we are able, by reference to the minutes of the Philadelphia Library Company, an organization of colored men that met at stated periods in the lecture room of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, to fix the same beyond doubt as belonging to Richard Milburn. Dick Milburn, as he was familiarly called, had the faculty of whistling to an extraordinary extent, while at the same time he was sufficiently skilled as a performer, to accompany himself on a guitar. He was a barber by profession, and in the leisure moments of his vocation turned his attention to imitating the birds, and particularly the mocking bird. Some of the members of the Library Company, aware of his cleverness in this respect, induced Milburn to add to the interest of their meetings by an exhibition of his marvelous power. Those who have heard the celebrated Mrs. Shaw give an exhibition of whistling, which she did with great success in Europe and America, can form a correct estimate of what possibilities there are in that form of entertainment. The minutes of the Philadelphia Library Company, noticing the presence and performances of Mr. Milburn at several of their meetings, attest beyond dispute the claim made in Milburn's behalf. It seems that Mr. Septimus Winner, a skilled musician and publisher, induced Milburn to whistle it before him while he wrote down the bird-like notes. The song was afterwards published by Mr. Winner, and during the years between 1855 to 1865, was the "piece de resistance" of the minstrel companies and serenading parties. The following from the Philadelphia Tribune, in January, 1908, is of interest: "The world in general has accepted the music of 'Listen to the Mocking Bird' as the product of 'Sep' Winner. This has been disputed, especially in these columns. Last week, our townsman, noted for his unerring instinct for finding rare tomes and curios pertaining to colored people, came across a copy of 'Listen to the Mocking Bird.' It was published in Philadelphia in 1855, and in the frontispiece says: 'Music by Richard Milburn, words by Alice Hawthorne.' It was published by Septimus Winner, whose gift at lyrics was conceded and who was musical besides. Because he was a prolific writer, the music of that song was attributed to him. Milburn was a native of this city and worked in his father's barber shop, next door to 'Lou' Cochran's tavern at Sixth and Lombard streets. It was soon discovered that he was musical, playing the guitar, with a good singing voice and with whistling skill beyond approach. This brought a large clientele and made his place of employment one of the noted ones. His imitations of bird whistles was indeed marvelous, and the members of the Philadelphia Library Company, alive to any attractions of a musical sort in conjunction with their literary efforts, heard of him and secured his services along the lines just indicated. It was then that he evolved the air above noted. Being catchy, scores were humming and whistling it. Coming to the notice of Winner, he sent for Milburn, who played, sang and whistled the air composed by him, and then Winner wrote down the notes. Milburn knew nothing of musical notation, but had an alert mind for composition. It spread all over the country, and Winner won fame, at the expense of another, and that a colored man. The mother of Milburn, Mrs. Matilda Moore, is still alive and resides with George Gorgas, 407 Fairmount avenue. Our subject must have been built upon original lines, because his wife was a barber and worked. --- 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. DEPARTMENTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA right along with him in his business: After his death, she plied the trade on Lombard street, north side, at what is now opposite Starr Garden. The music, now in the possession of Mr. Adger, settles beyond cavil the authorship of that bit of melody. Fourteen years prior to the advent of Milburn, there was a member of Frank Johnson's breat band—Henry Williams, by name—who wrote a sentimental ballad entitled 'Loriette.' The composer was a Bostonian, gifted as an instrumentalist, who had, like several others, come to our city. It had a large sale, and in its day outranked any other air in popularity. Another composer of no mean caliber in the era of Williams was William Brady. His music, like that of Williams' and Milburn's, was published in this city. Brady's inclinings were of the religious, and although a voluminous writer, all of his efforts were of a sacred character. In the old Catholic churches his masses were constantly used. To Milburn belongs the credit and the mission' of the chronicler fulfilled, in the facts just now noted." THE LATE R. W. THOMPSON. The Bee wishes to express its thanks to Mrs. R. W. Thompson, the widow of the late R. W. Thompson, for a copy of the timely and worthy memorial in the form of a well-planned and modestly bound pamphlet to the memory of her husband. What the late editor, W. Calvin Chase, said of the nted journalist, R. W. Thompson: "The death of Richard W. Thompson takes from the field of journalism one of the most gifted and prolific colored journalists in the United States. He was an untiring writer and journalist. He never tired of attacking the enemy and took delight in extolling the virtues of those who gained his favor. He was a friend to his friends and an enemy* to his enemies; so forget and forgive. His disposition was genial. Sweet in his manner, pleasing in his expression, and liberal to the lowly. His only daughter was the soul of his ambition, whose loveliness, virtue, and congeniality were his admiration. "Richard W. Thompson, like others, must some day travel to the Great Beyond and leave behind on the table of fame the qualities of an unselfish ambition. He was not without his faults; no man is perfect, no matter what his efforts in life may have been. His efforts were to make small men great and great men greater. It was but a few weeks ago that Richard W. Thompson framed his last news notes. His spirit will traverse space, invisible to the eye of the living." The horribleness, of this continued lynching of human souls in the United States of America will have to be told just as it is. But since it is impossible to get a hearing through the white public press, the race, led by the N. A. A. C. P., should buy a column, just as big advertisers do, in order to let the world know about these shameful lynchings in America. Pub- A. T.

Trained under the direction of Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, the students who made up the cast of the two plays displayed a dramatic talent that would earn the respect of the most critical. Lord Dunsany's play, in two acts, is a fanciful thing, representing the longings of an oriental king for the wide wastes of the desert, which eventually becomes so strong that he forsakes his throne, abandoning it to the camel driver, who is ambitious to be king. It is an ambitious production that would tax the dramatic powers of an Otis Skinner, but John H. Broadnax, as the king, and Miss Stella Skinker, as the gypsy maid of the desert, won unstinted applause, the latter showing herself as emotional actress of splendid ability. A specialty dance of merit was given by Misses Ottie Graham, Sadye Spence and Eltinge Holmes. The play by Ridgley Torrence is the story of the man who helped the --- "Cream Every Day" The Sure It's Berry's HouslceCream arms to churches, social affairs, etc. CREAM CO. zier and Co DUATE DIRECTORS IBALMERS eet.

Chesson, whose interpretation of the barbarian, touched and tamed by the sight of divine suffering, brought repeated applause. The leading female part was that of Pilate's wife, taken by Miss Helen I. Webb, while Miss Ottie Graham was seen as Acte, the princess of Egypt, who vainly sought to dissuade Simon from going to the aid of the Nazarene. The entire cast included twenty-three players, each of application and training. The rich and beautiful stage settings and costumes, designed and made in the Howard dramatic workshop by the students themselves, under the supervision of Cleon Throckmorton, of the Princeton Players, of New York City, and Mrs. Forrest, added much to the success of the program. The same players will give a presentation on March 31 and April 1 and 2 of Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," now playing in New York, with Charles Gilpin, of the Broadway Company, in the title role. Mr. Gilpin has promised to come to Washington and appear in the title role with the Howard Players. It will be an occasion of dramatic importance and will afford the only opportunity to see the play in Washington this season. George W.
