The Washington Bee Brooks Waller Case VOL. XLI NO. 45 Brook Victory is Still Ours Great Victory Is Still Ours—W. B. & A. Begs for Additional Time in Which to Prepare for Argument in Support of Their Motion for New Trial. The epoch-making decision in the Brooks-Waller case, which The Bee conveyed to the American people in its last issue, still stands: Our victory remains unimpaired and unaltered. The famous ruling of Chief Justice Walter McCoy, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, is still the law. That decision is to the effect that State jim-crow cars are unconstitutional as applied to interstate colored passengers, even though they are riding on a local train moving between two points entirely within a jim-crow-law State. Motion for New Trial. The Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company, against which Frederick U. Brooks and William A. Waller, colored business men of this city, recovered a verdict for $1,000 as a result of that railway evicting them from one of its train because they refused to occupy jim-crow seats while riding from Annapolis to Washington, has filed a motion for a new trial, as forecast by. The Bee in its last issue. In its motion the railway company has urged every possible ground in its attempt to upset this great decision. The company's motion for a new trial was set for argument before Chief Justice McCoy in Circuit Court No. 2 last Friday morning. O'Leary Was Ready. When the case was called for argument, Hon. James J. O'Leary, chief counsel for the plaintiffs, and his associates, Robert I. Miller and Raymond Neudecker, announced that the plaintiffs were ready for the argument and prepared to uphold the verdict which they won. Attorney Tolliver, for the railway company, then begged leave of the court for some additional time for the railway to prepare an argument in support of its motion for a new trial. Chief Justice McCoy then postponed the argument, at the defendant company's request, until Friday, April 1. Large Crowd Expected. It is expected that the courtroom will be crowded for this argument, and all of our readers who wish to hear it are urged to be present in the court not later than 10 a.m. The case has attracted nationwide attention. Many members of the bar, both white and colored, will doubtless be present. Intense interest in this great case has been manifested all over the country. The Bee and the attorneys for Brooks and Waller have been flooded with inquiries about the case. The Interstate Commerce Commission likewise has received many inquiries about the case. Bee's Message Arouses Nation. From the moment that the first copies of The Bee reached the eyes of the public up until the time that this issue goes to press, vast crowds have been coming to this office for additional copies of our last issue. Political, religious, fraternal, charitable and other organizations are eagerly seeking copies of last week's paper to read of the great victory won in the local courts by the colored Americans. Attorney O'Leary has received letters and telegrams from all parts of the country congratulating him on his courageous stand and complimenting him on his argument which brought about this history-making decision. Bee Will Print Argument. So many inquiries have been received for copies of Attorney O'Leary's famous argument that The Bee will, in its next issue, publish that argument for the benefit of all its readers. Members of the legal fraternity are almost unanimously of the opinion that no efforts of the railway company can overcome the logic of the argument which so convinced Chief Justice McCoy that he directed a jury of twelve white men to return a verdict for Brooks and Waller. In another part of this issue we publish a letter which we have received from Brooks and Waller, as well as an appeal that they make for the moral support of all true Americans. Railway Will Appeal. In its next issue The Bee will inform its readers of the outcome of the company's motion for a new trial. Already, however, the railway has announced that, if its motion is overruled, it will appeal the case to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. From such court the case may go to the Supreme Court of the United States. TO ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS, IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, COLOR OR CREED. Fellow Citizens: This is the crucial hour! Hear the Macedonian cry! It is "Now WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY. APRIL 2, 1921 or never." We must win this fight again jim-crow cars at all hazards and at any cost. We have drawn the first blood, and we must continue the battle until it has been won before the highest tribunal of the land—the Supreme Court of the United States. Briefly, the case is: Mr. Fred U. Brooks and Mr. William A. Waller, two colored citizens of Kenilworth, D. C., who were interstate passengers en route from Annapolis, Md., to Washington, D. C., on or about August 6 1917, were ejected from a train of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company at Best Gate, Md., for refusing to comply with the jim-crow car law of the State of Maryland, which the officials of the railroad company attempted to enforce. After Messrs. Brooks and Waller had boarded the train, the conductor ordered them and all other colored passengers in the same coach to occupy jim-crow seats. This Messrs. Brooks and Waller refused to do, whereupon the railroad official stopped the train and put them off in the woods, where they had to remain all night. Subsequently, Messrs. Brooks and Waller filed a suit against the railroad company for damages in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy presiding. They obtained a verdict of $500 each. From this verdict the railroad company has filed a motion for a new trial, evidently for the purpose of appealing the case if the motion is overruled. Should the railroad company note an appeal, Messrs. Brooks and Waller, through and by the advice of their attorneys, Messrs. J. J. O'Leary, Raymond Neudecker and Robert I. Miller, have concluded to contest this case until the fight is won or lost before the Supreme Court of the United States. Therefore, it is the duty of every citizen, white or colored, who believes that colored citizens should enjoy their constitutional rights as American citizens, to stand by us in this struggle. Sincerely yours, for the race, FREDERICK U. BROOKS. WILLIAM A. WALLER. LETTER TO THE BEE FROM BROOKS AND WALLER. Editor The Washington Bee: Dear Sir: As loyal American colored citizens, we want to thank you for the splendid message that you conveyed to the American people in your last issue in regard to the fight that we are making in the Brooks-Waller case, on behalf of allcolored-American citizens against the State jim-crow laws. Our victory is due in large part to the courageous stand taken in our behalf by three white lawyers of this city—Hon. James J. O'Leary, Assistant District Attorney; Robert I. Miller and Raymond Neudecker—who, without receiving one cent of compensation, have been devoting their time and energy and legal ability in this fight for the brotherhood of man. The W. B. & A. Railway Company has filed a motion for a new trial and announced that they will take the case to the higher courts. Other railway and railroad companies, it is rumored, may assist the W. B. & A. in their attempt to upset the great decision of Chief Justice McCoy, of the District Supreme Court. We may need the help of all true Americans to uphold the victory we have won. We therefore urge all true Americans who believe in the brotherhood of man to express to the white lawyers, who have so unselfishly aided us, their gratitude and moral support. Hon. James J. O'Leary, whose masterly argument won the case, has been severely criticized by a number of white lawyers. The least we might do is to thank him and his associates and assure them of our appreciation for what they have done on behalf of the colored people of America. Will you kindly bring this matter to the attention of the public in your next issue? Respectfully, FREDERICK U. BROOKS. WILLIAM A. WALLER. March 29, 1921. The President will receive the delegation at the White House. In view of the discrimination, segregation in governmental departments and throughout the country and the rising tide of the Klu Klux Klan, and other injustices that are confronting us as a race, we should bring together the leaders from every section of the country, and at least 5,000 organization should register their protest in this session. For further information address headquarters, Washington, D. C. The sixth annual session of the National Race Congress of America, Inc. will convene at Zion Baptist Church, F street between Third and Four and one-half streets southwest, Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor, May 4-7, 1021. Every organization in the race, including local units of the Congress, churches, leagues, fraternal societies, are requested to send delegates to this Congress. Some of the most thoughtful men and women of the race will speak. Vice-President Coolidge, Senator Lodge, Secretary Fall and others have also been invited to address the Con- W. H.

Cross on veil and breast. The Drill Corps were out in new uniforms and was a pleasing and marked contrast to the splendid uniform division of men. The Pythian uniformed men come nearest to the uniform of the U. S. Army. It was an inspiring sight. Rev. Walter H. Brooks was at his best. The choir was out in fall and splendid voice. The church was packed to its utmost. Standing room was at a premium. A most pleasing feature to the entire Order was the presence of their Grand Chancellor, who has been detained at home for months on account of illness. Though weak he was quite himself. His very presence lent tone to the occasion. Mrs. Ora Stokes, vice-president, Richmond, Va. J. C. Austin, national organizer Pittsburgh, Pa. WOMAN'S DAY. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton was in Newark, N. J., Saturday night. Sunday morning and evening she was the special guest of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Montclair, N. J., occupying the pulpit, and was the only speaker on both occasions. The church was packed to its utmost capacity at both services. Quite a number of people came from Newark, Jersey City, and Paterson at night to hear her. A most hearty welcome on behalf of the church was extended this organization by Attorney Charles S. Hill, chairman of Trustee Board of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church and Past Grand Master of the G. U. O. O. F. A very happy response was made by Captain Lawrence Murray of the Uniform Division. It was Woman's Day. The men observed their day March 13. The women raised on Sunday $863.20. Over twelve hundred dollars was collected on the two Sundays. A very pleasing musical program was rendered by the Junior Choir in the morning and Senior Choir at night. Rev. Handy, the pastor, is closing up a very successful church year. He will leave for conference week following Easter Sunday. At the close of the services, Magnolia Drill Corps presented to Col. A. Gaines a very handsome, Pythian ring as a small token for his services in training the women in military tactics. Colonel Gaines saw service overseas. Mrs. Layton was the week-end house guest of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jackson, Montclair, N. J. She has an engagement to speak for the Republican Club of Newark, N. J., in a few weeks. No doubt she will have much that is worth while to tell the Republican women of New Jersey, because as president of the Rederation of Women's Republican Forums of the District of Columbia, she was most active in prolicts in the States during the last campaign. On the whole it was a most pleasing service throughout, and all felt like giving thanks unto the Lord. Rev. Brooks gave an urgent invitation' for them to come again. ZENITH COURT, No. 16, COURT OF CLAIMS Saturday evening in Pythian Temple, Twelth and You streets northwest, a large Court organized by Dr. Umbles, now of New Orleans, La., was set about. Dr. Umbles recently organized a Lodge of Knights of Pythias known as Zenith Lodge and Zenith Court. Mrs. E. J. Murray, Grand Worthy Counsellor, assisted by Past Supreme Deputy Counsellor Julia M. Layton, Grand Worthy Inspectrix, Mrs. V. Stevens; Grand Worthy Orator, Mrs. Helen B. Reid; Grand Worthy Receiver of Deposits, Geo. Davis; Grand Worthy Escort, Mrs. Washington, and others, gave this new Lodge the three degrees and installed their officers. Dr. Umbles is the Worthy Counsellor. Speeches and a collection followed. This bids fair to be just what its name calls for. The Grand Lodge, John S. Johnspn; Grand Chancellor Grand Court, Mrs. Emma Murray; Grand Counsellor, Uniform Rank, Brigadier J. Clay Smith; Magnolia Drill Corps, Captain Victoria Stevens, commanding a Red Cross Division together with the subordinate Lodges and Courts assembled at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Sunday night for their Thanksgiving service. The entire body of the church was reserved for the Order, but it was not large enough to seat them. Many stood and a number could not get in. The Red Cross Division, led in by Mrs. Julia M. Layton, Past Supreme Deputy Counsellor, and who organized the Grand Court, is a new addition to the Order in the District. It is composed almost wholly of Grand Court officers. They were all in white with white veils and Red ADVERTISING STUNTS. WANTED—Ten intelligent men and ten women for a high-class proposition. No experience necessary.

A Word About Congregational Singing. There may be those who doubt whether congregational singing is perfectly practicable. If we desire to have congregational singing in our churches that is worth while and inspiring, we must be willing to give thought and care and effort, yes, and to spend money also, in order to secure it. It is just here that the whole question hinges. There is enough music in any congregation to make its attainment possible. We can have it if we care enough above it to really work for it. We cannot have it, however, any more than we can have any other good thing, by merely wishing for it and agreeing that it is good. There are those who insist, and lightly, that there is a place in church music for the meditative as well as for the active, for the music which impresses as well as for the music which expresses. There are none who will question the fact that congregational singing, if it can be attained, has a power to touch and move and lift up the hearts of the people into the very heights of worship with which no other agency can compare. How the Choir Came About. In the Apostolic age singing was always a part of Divine service, in which the whole body of the church joined together. It was the decay of this that first brought about the choir, or order of singers into the church. For, when it was found by experience that the negligence and unskillfulness of the people rendered them unfit to perform this service without some more curious and skillful to guide them and asisst them, then a peculiar order of men were appointed and set over this business with a design to retrieve and improve the ancient psalmody and not to abolish or destroy it. Things to be Considered. The service of the church gives ample opportunity for both choir and congregation in singing and there need be no conflict between the rights of either. Congregational singing does not mean that we are to bring down the music of the church to the level of the capability of the congregation. It means, on the contrary, that, by persistent and earnest and systematic effort, we are to seek to bring the singing of the congregation up towards the level of the music of the church. Much of the congregational singing we hear, is but a jumble of words and a debauchery of rhythm, and if transcribed for piano would make good dance music for our younger congregation. The true ideal of congregational singing is to convert our congregations as far as may be into "vast amateur choirs." If this be even in some measure accomplished, the great volume of song will itself control or drown out those occasional voices which are so disturbing to their near neighbors, and which sometimes raise doubts as to the desirability of such singing in the minds even of the very elect. It is the absence of congregational singing which gives these voices prominence. More, not less congregational singing is the remedy for them. Congregational singing is the one thing that will rob these voices of their terrors. In conclusion, we have been too much disposed to think of congregational singing as, something that might be expected to come about of itself, or, involved nothing more than the selection of such simple and familiar music as the congregation would without any training undertake to sing. Even where congregational singing means only the hearty singing of hymns of the camp-meeting style, it is not secured forethought and effort; and where it means the worthy rendering of the service of the church, the effort must be, as the result will also be, correspondingly greater. We should give as serious and careful thought to improving the singing of the congregation as we give, and rightly give, to improving the singing of the choir and other departments of the church. We venture to offer some practical suggestions: 1. The minister and choirmaster should cooperate together with a strong and unfeigned interest in it. 2. At stated intervals a portion of the service should be given over to congreagtional rehearsals for about thirty minutes, more or less. 3. The people must be provided with both the words and music of everything that is to be sung. 4. The same tunes must be sung often enough for the congregation to become thoroughly familiar with them. The tunes used should all be of the highest order with a sufficient variety. True, such work involves time and expense, but how could it be better applied? In congregational singing we have an agency that can be used with equally certain effect everywhere—in the small church in the rural district and the most recently established mission in the alleys and byways; in the largest city church and the more cultured parish and wherever invoked will do two things in particular: 1. It will give to our services the grandeur and the interest and the spiritual power that truly belong to them, and 2. It will bring the people back to the church by giving them their rightful and inestimable privilege when they come there, the privilege of taking their full and united and personal part in the worship of God. Such a revival of singing, I believe, would go far indeed toward a greater awakening of spiritual devotion in the hearts of men and, in the realm of churchdom. PEONAGE IS MENACE TO NATION'S ECONOMIC FUTURE. Greatest Cause of Unrest Next to Lynching—The N. A. A. C. P. Telegraphs President Harding and Governor Dorsey on Georgia Cases. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public telegrams sent to President Harding and Governor Dorsey of Georgia in which the statement is made that the murder of eleven colored Americans on the Williams plantation in Georgia does not constitute an isolated case of ponage in the South, but that a number of cases have been called to the attention of the Department of Justice in recent years. The Arkansas riots of 1919 and the burning at stake in January of this year of Henry Lowery, are laid to the same cause, and it is stated in the telegram that the practice of peonage is widespread in Southern: States, especially in the Mississippi Delta region. It is called the greatest cause of unrest next to lynching. In the telegram to the Governor of Georgia, he is called upon not only to exercise his full power to bring the offenders in the present cases to justice; but to proceed against the widespread system of debt slavery which prevails in his State. The telegrams follow. The one sent President Harding is as follows: "March 28, 1921. "Hon. Warren G. Harding. "President of the United States. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urgently requests of you that a thorough investigation be made by the Department of Justice under authority vested in that Department by Federal laws of peonage conditions in Jasper County, Georgia, where John Williams, a white landowner, has killed or caused to be killed, eleven Negroes who threatened to testify against Williams regarding peonage. This case is not an isolated one, but is indicative of similar conditions which exist in most Southern States and particularly in the Mississippi Delta. Henry Lowry, colored, was burned at the stake in most horrible fashion in Arkansas on January 26, because he attempted to escape from being held in peonage. In Phillips County, Arkansas, in October, 1919, an unknown number of colored Americans were slaughtered and others sentenced to death and imprisonment for attempting to secure redress from exploitation, through the courts of that State. This Association has furnished numerous case of peonage to the Department of Justice. The entire economic future of the South and of America are affected by this system. Thorough investigation and punishment of those guilty of perpetuating this system whatever the cost to the United States must be made. We urge you to issue such an order. "James Weldon Johnson. "Secretary." The telegram to Governor Dorsey is as follows: "March 28, 1921. "Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey. "Governor State of Georgia. "Atlanta, Ga. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urges you to use every effort to bring to justice the murderers of eleven colored Americans in Jasper County, Georgia, because they threatened to reveal peonage conditions in that county.

A telegram was also sent to Attorney-General Dougherty urging that the entire machinery of the Department of Justice be placed behind the Georgia prosecutions.

They urge that all true Americans express their appreciation to the three white lawyers who, without receiving 1 cent of compensation, have labored so untiringly and unselfishly in behalf of colored Americans. They ask The Bee to urge its readers to write to Hon. James J. O'Leary, "the little giant of the American bar," and assure him of our undivided support in the struggle which he is leading in our behalf. The Bee concurs in the view expressed by Messrs. Brooks and Waller. The least we might do is to let Mr. O'Leary know that each of us appreciates what he has done. An expression of appreciation from each of us will more than make up for the criticism which he has received from a number of white people for championing our cause. The Bee therefore urges all true Americans to write to Hon. James J. O'Leary and let him know what we think of his courageous stand in this matter. TYLER CONDUCTED COLUMN IN HARDING'S PAPER. It develops that Ralph W. Tyler, up to the entering of the United States into the World War, conducted a daily column in the Marion Star, President Harding's newspaper, under the caption of "Brief Buckeye Stories." It is said that Tyler conducted this column up until the time he went to France as a war correspondent. Our Norfolk contemporary, the Citizens' Advocate, says that the "We congratulate the Conqueror on His victory, having in mind the unparalleled pain and agony associated with the death He did undergo for our sakes. We rejoice with Him in His victory over His executioners, in His victory over satan and hell, and because of the glory He won for Himself by His victory. Not only will 'death no more have dominion over Him,' but as long as eternity endures He will know only indescribable joy."—Our Sunday Visitor. ly democratic!

They ask The Bee to urge J. O'Leary, "the little giant of Washington political atmosphere is in a state of excitement. The Bee begs to state that there is no excitement in the Washington political atmosphere. President Harding and the District of Columbia politicians never were calmer. But the atmospheric disturbances hovering over this serenity are due to the incoming political currents that are coming in from every quarter seeking the early political plum blossoms which are about to fall. The Washington politicians are not pamby—they have done their political work well in the last campaign; hence they know that the District plums will fall on District people, despite the fact that this city is now the Mecca of plum-seekers blown in from all quarters of the country, seeking whatever is in sight. In another column of The Bee are some interesting notes from the bar. While The Bee is pleased to know that such good work is being done about the police and other District courts for our people, yet it feels that there is something for the bar to do. Go into the churches of all denominations, place the condition and needs of our people about the courts before them, and The Bee predicts that there isn't a pastor in the city who would not lead his flock to render the necessary service in and about the courts. This they will do as willingly as they visit and hold services in the jail; as courageously as they visit and succor the people in the alleys and slums. If they know they will serve. The Bee welcomes the return of Rev. Julius Carrol to the Asbury M. E. Church. Gilpin proved himself a star of the first magnitude at the Belasco Theatre last Monday before a truly democratic audience. The house was a mixed audience of culture and refinement which truly enjoyed the high-class performance from beginning to end. This is a strong argument that the dropping of all lines frees not only the slave, but his master also. The people of the world mourn deeply the loss of Cardinal Gibbons. He was a true friend of all peoples. His loss is felt in all walks of life. GEORGETOWN CHURCHES. The Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church was largely attended to bid farewell to the pastor, Rev. A. J. Mitchell, before leaving for conference which was held in Annapolis and every one expressed their hopes and earnest prayers that he might return to them again as he has been a wonderful worker and helper ever since he has had charge of that church. At the 8 o'clock services there was a program rendered. "The Crucifixion, A Meditation of the Sacred Passion of the Holy Redeemer," rendered by the choir. Solos were rendered by the Messrs. M. Brown, Father Minor, Father Smith, Nevil Waters and Edward North. These were beautiful. Many congratulations were bestowed upon them and Prof. Beason for the excellent work of the choir. This affair was more than well-pleasing to the large gathering of the evening. The funeral of Mr. Samuel Bell, whose death was so sudden and a great surprise to his many friends, was held Friday at the Mt. Zion Church. Mr. Bell was a member of the Progressive Men's Lodge, No. 4156, G. U. O. of O. F. His remains were carried to the Mt. Zion cemetery. Messrs. F. Butler, N. G. and J. W. Lawson, P. S. of Lodge. The many friends of Mr. Bell attended the funeral to pay their last respects and to express their sympathy. **** The sad news of the passing of Mrs. Harriet Smith, one of the oldest members, and an excellent worker in the Mt. Zion Church, caused every heart to feel very sad. She was also a member of Ladies of Olive. May she rest in peace. The First Baptist Church of which Rev. A. J. Pinn is pastor, was highly entertained by the Junior, consisting of 60 voices, directed by Mrs. Nellie Smith. These young folks received great praise for their wonderful work. The Ebenezer A. M. E. Church held an entertainment which was given by the Parcel Post Club. This affair was more than a great success. The music for this occasion was rendered by Mr. Lewis' orchestra. Mrs. Cora Willson, president; and Mrs. J. Brown, secretary; Rev. Chas. Wesley, pastor. THE PHILLIP SCHOOL COMMUNITY CENTER. The Phillips School Community Center, N street, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets northwest, was delightfully entertained by most helpful and instructive addresses on last Tuesday night, given by Dr. Fisher, Mr. Smith, and Dr. Sarah Brown of the Public Health Service, District of Columbia. About 300 persons were present. The meeting was conducted by Mr. Geo. Beacon, president of the Center Association, and president of the Georgetown Civic Association. Solos were rendered by Miss Beatrice Chase, Mr. Wm. Carter, and Mr. Charles Lee. Prayer was offered by Rev. Wm. A. Carter. Mrs. G. Pelham of the executive office of Community Center, was present and gave an interesting talk The Philips School Center is a live center and the people of this community certainly enjoy its opportunities, especially hearing such splendid talks as were given last Tuesday night. Mr. Chas. Turner is the vice-president of the Center and a well-known citizen of this community. The Center is well filled on Tuesday nights by the young people of the community and the Community Center. Secretary Sadie A. Gaskins is untiring in her efforts to make the evenings as attractive and interesting as possible. Visitors are always welcome at the Center, in fact everybody is invited to attend their regular meetings on Tuesday evenings. ANACOSTIA NEWS. All of the churches were beautifully decorated with flowers on Easter Sunday. The various choirs were out in full and rendered special Easter anthems. Large congregations greeted their pastors at Bethelhem, Campbell, St. Phillips, Macedonia, and Rev. Scotts A. M. E. Church. *** Banker John W. Lewis and Mr. Franklin of the Douglas Cooperative League addressed the stockholders of the proposed grocery store that will open its doors for business two weeks hence. Banker Lewis spoke on the organization of business enterprises by our people. Both he and Mr. Franklin were well received by the large crowd in attendance. *** Don't forget Dr. R. H.

LAW NOTES There should be, in the light of the exorbitant amount of taxes paid in the District of Columbia on real and personal estates and water taxes, at least some representative of our group in the Water Department of the District of Columbia. Two of the real estate assessors' office should be representatives of our group. The Health Department should have at least six, and the personal tax office and the real estate offices not less than four of its large force of clerks. The clerical force of the Supreme, the Municipal and Police courts should give our young men an opportunity in representation not as a gratuity, but because of justice and right. The District of Columbia corporation counsel's office should have at least two of our group as assistants, after fifty years of our paying taxes without representation. The United States District Attorney's office for the District of Columbia has a large number of attorneys and clerks as assistants, and the office for many years has not had an active court prosecutor of our group, and yet in the lower courts at least sixty per centum of the fines are assessed against us. The Register of Wills' office, where we pay large costs, and transact much business with many of the clerks and accountants, are appointed, but we have not any representative. There are in the Washington Asylum and District Jail perhaps over one hundred colored men and women, and at the colored girls reform school possibly fifty or more such girls who should have the sympathy of our group as well as our care. If our ministers would only cease pressing the poor people for an increase of salary, and diminish the principal debts upon our churches, and do more missionary work, encourage and lend aid to those who are striving to help the falling and erring fewer of our boys and girls would be in the reform schools of the District of Columbia. If the laudable example of the Catholic Churchmen and those who assisted in the Christ-like work, would be followed by more of our ministers, who know little of the conditions and who have not sacrificed any part of their salaries to secure shoes and dresses to have some poor boy or girl to attend their Sabbath Schools, or who might be Christ-like to sell their automobiles to help some meritorious case of the widows and orphans; without publishing it from the house top. The District of Columbia people of color are awaiting the second emancipation from ministerial slavery. Today we must contribute to pay higher salaries and purchase expensive family automobiles, the proceeds from these items could be used to help the foodless and homeless widows and orphans. Are they or are we agitating only, pretending to be interested in the cause of Christ's Mission, but as a camoflauge using the rake to secure all and omitting the fork to give others. A colored Christian woman is greatly needed at the Police Court as probation officer, to succor the falling females of the race. Christian missionaries have advocated the cause of combined efforts to help our missionary societies, but increased salaries and vacation money have had an uppermost appeal, whilst our boys and girls are left to the tender mercies and cares of those good Christians. A few caucasian friends we have. In fine they are doing more for us than we collective are doing for ourselves or the colored ministers. Open your eyes and see what Christ would have His followers to do in His vineyard. The condition of many of our children in the District of Columbia is appalling, and unless the good people do something to ameliorate the lamentable conduct of many of our young men and women on the public streets and cars, the race as a whole will be made to suffer from the effects of their willful conduct. Our ministers could and should condemn the conduct and admonish the young of the duty they owe to other citizens, and point out to them the many evils that will result from what many fancy are infringements upon their rights. Suppose the colored ministers of this community alone took the same interest in the colored professional business men and laymen as the priest of the Catholic churches take in their race, all lawyers, doctors and business men of the race would prosper. But with few exceptions you hear the vacation cry for money and an increase in salary; money to purchase automobiles, for family luxury, not as a necessity. Hudson seal coats for their wives, seven-passenger automobiles, new uits for the pastor, and all these sacrifices, worshiping of the pastor, not Christ. "If salvation" is still free, its propounders have mortgaged its spirit. Now, like any other racial group, we have a few practicing "sundown lawyers" who belong to that "hat-in-hand," "yes boss," "grinning and bowing" and readily "agreeing" with everything that is expressed as an authority and by one of the Anglo-Saxons conversing with him. A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The Children of the Public Schools to Have a Great Treat. Our friends. Rufus G. Byars is preparing a great treat for the children of the Public Schools. Pictures will be shown every Saturday between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00 o'clock, illustrating the literature used in class. J. rooms of the different grades. This will do much toward devitalizing these classroom subjects, which to many of the pupils seems a dead one. This is a step in the right direction for the improvement of the moving pictures, which are being placed before the children of this generation. DRAMA AND MOVIE SHOWS. Howard: "Shuffle Along." Lottie Lee, Gertrude Saunders, Lawrence Deas, and the Palm Beach Four constitute the musical somedy for this week. It is simply the talk of the town. The scenery, dress and singing are simply wonderful. If you didn't see it blame no one but yourself. Standing room at supper show during the days of "Forbidden Fruit," as played by Cecil B. De Mille, could not be gotten for any price in gold. Everyone is speaking of the wonderful music at supper shows. It sounds better and better. Mid-City When down town and want a little recreation, stop in the S. H. Budley's Mid-City Theatre. The pictures are wonderful and always something great. The only theatre on Seventh street owned by a race man. Greater success are our wishes. Hiawatha. In order to see the movies at Hiawatha you must go right after dinner, as the pictures are knocking them dead at this theatre. Some wonderful plays. S. H. Dudley This theatre is due great credit for its wonderful work in serving and pleasing the people. A crowded house every night. Rain never hurts the house. Dunbar The new theatre at Seventh and I streets northwest, keeps all of its employees busy. The pictures and music produced by this theatre are worth your standing in line. The manager is very pleasant with you while waiting to make the time seem short. The special Saturday show for children was a wonderful step made, and truly trust all will push it to make it the wonderful step of today. Visit these theatres and see the wonderful plays and movies. Give each a trial in turn. SOMETHING DOING ON FOURTEENTH STREET. Have you read the latest "The Story of the Standard?" Send for it. It will be mailed you free. No obligations.

Who's Who in Falls Church. Colonel Charles Young once told the writer that the Semitic race has nothing on the Hamitic race as a producer of natural tradesmen. In the east certain races of colored peoples are shrewder in mind and physiognomical expression than western Jews and they drive hard bargains. Falls Church has had several successful merchants beginning from the general merchandise store run for years by Fred Foote down to the stores of Hyson, Gaines, Taylor and Henderson. The present keeper of the one store, Mrs. Louisa Henderson, has done remarkable business in a location where both white and colored patrons share in the enterprise. Mrs. Henderson is a past grand matron of the Washington order of the Eastern Star. She is a member of the Second Baptist Church, a worker therein, a member of the Mothers' Club, a supporter of the N. A. A. C. P. and contributes her services and means to the aid of worthy causes. She owns much valuable real estate in the heart of the village and is the mother of three sons, Edwin B., William A., Charles M., and a daughter, Mrs. Annie Allen. Collective ownership and cooperative effort may be the future scheme of business, but until that the stores of our merchants in private enterprise deserve the support of all who claim to believe in race solidarity. GARFIELD NOTES. Garfield, D. C.—With a bright Easter Sunday morning the Sunday School of Allen A. M. E. Church was out in full strength.

The patrons of the Howard Theatre were treated to the real musical hit of the season Monday when "Shuffle Along" opened its initial tour prior to its New York run on Broadway for the entire summer. Never before, or for some time to come, will a show be seen with such a galaxy of stars who appeared last Monday and will remain for the next week. The management is to be congratulated on securing such a fine show. While the prices remain the same, this very show for its New York run plays to three-dollar admission. The principals, of which there are eighteen, include such prominent people as Miller and Lyles, considered today as two of our best comedians. Lovers of vaudeville know them as headliners. These two boys are responsible for the book of the show. Next are Sissle and Blake, two young men who are without a doubt the greatest song and lyric writers we have. They have written songs for this show that will be whistled and sung all over the country very shortly. Lieut. Sissle, who wrote all the lyrics for the show, is the young man who led the famous Jim Europe's Band after Mr. Europe had 'een killed. It is well worth the price of admission alone to hear such numbers as "Love Will Find a Way," "If You Haven't Been Vamped by a Brown Shin," "Shuffle Along," "Bandana Days," "Oriental Blues," and about fourteen others, not forgetting the ensembles, along with the greatest Week Starting Sunday Mch.27 Management, R.

Manager Vincent Thomas is always on the alert for interesting and instructive subjects to place before his patrons in the moving pictures films exhibited at the popular supper shows THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN at the Howard theatre. His courtesy to crowds that frequent this show house places the beauty and grandeur of the theatre, the high quality of the pictures shown, fills the house to its utmost capacity day and night. The departure of Mr. George E. Haynes from the service of the government as Director of Negro Economics is to be regretted. Mr. Haynes has been a great assistance to the Department of Labor. *** My friend General H. Forrest is still on the job. He is still full of vim and vigor and seems to be like the trees in spring time, which come out fresh and green each year. I trust that his usefulness will continue. *** Last week I made mention of the activities of certain members of the Metropolitan Police Department in running down violators of the automobile laws. Well on last Thursday night I had occasion to be driving along You street, in the neighborhood of Ninth, when I noticed an automobile coming around Florida avenue followed by two members of the bicycle squad. The automobile had no headlights whatsoever. The officers drew up beside the auto and stopped; by this time I had gotten out of my car and crossed over on the other side of the street so that I might learn what the consequences might be. I soon found out. This car was operated by a member of the race other than the colored American. After a few words of caution the car was allowed to go on its way rejoicing. The words of caution were: "Don't let this happen again." This was directly in front of a police station. After allowing this automobile to go on its way the officers proceeded northward along Florida avenue until Sherman avenue was reached. I was following closely behind when I noticed another auto coming down Sherman avenue with nothing but the parking lamp lighted. These "eagle eyed" officers also noticed this auto and stopped it. This machine was also operated by a member of a race other than colored American; after a few minutes this operator was also allowed to proceed without having made a trip to the station. Why this discrimination, especially in this northwest neighborhood? Who is to blame? Why should members of the colored American race be forced to put up a sum of money, when others are allowed to go their way? Do these officers take it upon themselves to make this discrimination or are they acting upon the orders of their superiors? The root of the evil should be found and plucked out. As the saying goes "Ignorance with authority is dangerous." I will visit other sections next week. The sudden change of weather conditions here this week has been in no way injurious to the number of plums which President Harding will distribute among the colored Americans, but some of the plum gatherers seem destined to be disappointed. If what I have learned on good authority proves true there surely will be some sad hearts. EASTER SUNDAY ENJOYED BY COLORED WASHINGTON. Washington citizens and visitors here were greeted by an ideal spring day. The churches were well filled at the morning and the evening service, and special music was the feature of the day. Among the city choirs to receive special mention for their work were Asbury M. E. Church, Eleventh and K streets; St. Augustine's Catholic Church, Fifteenth street; St. Luke's P. E. Church, at Fifteenth and Church streets, John Wesley Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion, Wesley Metropolitan Baptist, and many others.

The Coliseum, Convention Hall, and the Pythian Temple was crowded from the basement to room 10 all day and night, while the Murray Casino was turning them away. Every jazz musician in the city was engaged. engaged. Dr. Perry's orchestra was busy in the morning at the New Casino, then at the Pythian Temple. Mr. Kris N. Brown, the playing king, was almost too busy to speak, while Gertie Wells' orchestra at Convention Hall was entertaining the visitors at night. Mr. George Lee held a successful dance in Maryland with three of the best players from this city. Every affair proved great. MR. HENRY D. MASON.

Mr. Mason is a product of Maryland, having been born in Rockville. At 12 years of age he came to Georgetown; D. C., where he secured employment with Mr. Washington Cropley, in 1863. After nineteen years of faithful service his employee highly recommended him for a position with the National Savings and Trust Company, under Mr. B. P. Snyder, who was at that time president of the bank. In this position Mr. Mason has rounded out his thirty-ninth year, having served under three successive presidents of the bank. The only living one of the three is the present incumbent. Mr. W. D. Hoover. The record of Mr. Mason at the bank for honesty, honor, loyalty and bravery is beyond repoach—an honor to the race and worthy of emulation. His present position is that of special officer, in charge of the vaults of the company.

We Will Send You Anywhere for the Price and Call for You The Cause of Gout Rheumatism According to medical men such as Garred, Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and Reach, the cause of gout is due to an excessive accumulation of uric acid in the blood. The same effect happens in rheumatism. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; when you suffer with sick headache, or diszy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, ask your druggist for An-uric. (anti-uric acid) tablets; or send Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., 10c for trial package. Anuric is more potent than lithia. E. L.
