Atlanta, Ga., April 4.—Agents of the Department of Justice whose investigations into alleged peonage conditions are held by State officials to have precipitated the killing of eleven colored farm hands employed by John S. Williams, Jasper county plantation owner, will place all their evidence, at the State's disposal during the trial of Williams at Covington, beginning next Tuesday, it was announced tonight. Williams is to go on trial charged with the murder of one of the colored men he is alleged to have carried into Newton county and had drowned in an effort to prevent possible testimony against him in Federal courts. The State's case was expected to rest largely on a confession attributed to Floyd Manning, colored, who for fourteen years worked on the Williams farm and who, according to deputies, declared he killed most of the colored men at Williams' orders and later killed another colored man who aided in the earlier killings. V. W. Hughes, in charge of the local bureau, Department of Justice, said there were peonage conditions on five other farms in Jasper county, but that no peonage had been found in Newton county. The Federal grand jury meets here today to inquire into peonage. Williams, 54 years old and the father of twelve children, has made a categorical denial of the charges of murder and peonage as well as mistreatment of colored laborers, many of whom were said to have bared their backs before the grand jury at Covington and showed scars attributed to beatings for not working hard. Definite announcement of counsel in the case made tonight indicated that one of the hardest legal battles in Georgia is to be fought out next Tuesday. There was a possibility that the first move of the defense would be to challenge the jurisdiction of Newton County. Superior Court on the ground that there is no evidence that any colored men were actually killed in that county. The bodies of three were found in the Yellow River, which separates Newton and Jasper counties. Williams will be represented by an array of counsel, headed by Greene F. Johnson. Solicitor General A. M. Brand will have the aid of William M. Howard, of Augusta, former Congressman from Georgia, Governor Dorsey has announced. Graham Wright, Assistant State Attorney General, also is expected to attend the trial on behalf of the State. Manning will have his interests looked after by E. Marvin Underwood, formerly general counsel of the United States Railway Administration during the World War, who has since returned to his practice in Atlanta. The following announcement was made late today by W. Woods White, a local capitalist: Manning Has Counsel. "A number of interested citizen especially under the peculiar facts justice demand that Clyde Mannin counsel at his trial, and Manning be retained counsel to represent him.

One hundred veniremen have been summoned for the trial before Judge John B. Hutchson in Superior Court, and both sides have subpoenaed many witnesses.

They have been held in the Tower here since their arrests. EQUAL RIGHTS PLEA ANGERS DEMOCRATS Senator Penrose Stirs Up Controversy By Stand in Behalf of Colored Americans. By J. Bart Campbell, International News Service. A far-reaching political effect is predicted by both Republican and Democratic leaders today as a result of the declaration of Senator Boies Penrose, member of the Republican National Committee from Pennsylvania, and titular Republican leader of that State, for "equal rights" for the Negro. Acting largely under orders from Penrose, the House of Representatives at Harrisburg has just passed a bill which provides that Negroes in Pennsylvania may patronize hotels, cafes, restaurants, VOL.

The measure would severely penalize those who own or conduct "public utilities or accommodations" for refusing Negroes access to them, or for denying Negroes the same privileges accorded whites. "I communicated with my friends at Harrisburg that I wanted the bill passed," Penrose said. "I believe the time has come when our Negro citizens must no longer be denied those rights as freemen which is given them by the Constitution. There must be an end to the repression and discrimination to which Negroes are subjected. "I see no reason why a Negro should be denied a cup of coffee and a sandwich in a light lunch cafe, frequented by whites just because his color happens to be different from theirs. I see no reason why he should be turned away from a hotel or a restaurant be- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921 cause he is not white. Surely he has a right to a place to eat and a place to sleep." Democratic Senators from the "Solid South" were swift in criticizing Penrose's utterances. While most of them declined to be quoted for publication, several of them, like Senator "Tom" Heflin, of Alabama, strongly condemned the "equal rights" idea advanced by the Pennsylvania Senator. A number of Penrose's Republican colleagues expressed concern regarding the political effect his declaration would have. Penrose insisted, however, he did not have "social equality" for the Negro in mind. He explained that neither did the Negro want "social equality," all he desired is "fair and just treatment in public places." U. S. LEGATION IN LIBERIA JUST RECEIVED FROM THE Monrovia, Liberia, March 6, 1921. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr. My Dear Mr. Chase: It is with the deepest regret that this legation notes the death of your distinguished father. A great man has gone to rest, and we fear that it is quite impossible for anyone having the courage and convictions which he possessed to arise to take his place in the very near future. The American minister at this post has known him for a great many years, and it has been a pleasure to follow him in his work for the last twenty-five years. I have always admired his courage, his fighting ability and his fairness in all the fights in which he has engaged during that time. From time to time I have found it a pleasure to do something, though small it may have been, to assist him in his efforts in his fight for the manhood rights of our people. Only last summer when in Washington it was my pleasure to give him my check for $10. The good man insisted on giving me a little space in his newspaper to be used as a "write-up," but I told him that his service to the people would be a like service to me and that his space was so valuable that I felt disinclined to accept it as a personal tribute. At this, the splendid character sank back into the old editor's chair in front of a desk covered with hundreds of papers and bade me "Good-by and good luck." I hope you will be able to carry on the work. Mrs. Johnson joins me in sympathy for you and the entire family in this, one of the darkest hours of your lives. With best wishes, I have the honor to be, sir, Your obedient servant, Joseph L. Johnson. UNCLE SAM TO CUT FORCES. It is now highly probable that within the next few months at least 20,000 people who are now on the Government payroll will be discharged and will go back to normal civil occupations. This is as it should be. Too long already has the abnormal and intensive prevailed. The country and the world in general want peace and quiet. This contemplated action on the part of the Government will of course cause interruption and much disappointment and distress, but it will bring untold good to the Nation, in stabilizing and putting the country on a sound economic basis. "Back to the farms and a larger production" should be the slogan of the entire Nation now and for many years to come. THE GEORGIA TRAGEDY. The story of what happened on the Jasper county farm, in Georgia, of which John Williams is the leading character, who so mercilessly dealt with his unfortunate and helpless victims, carries one's mind back to the dark days of Peonage slavery. These latter days, though, are outrivalled when we think of the human beast weighting stones about the necks and bodies of his inoffensive, helpless employes, amidst their agonizing cries to be shot instead of being vitrolized, and hurled in the depths of the waters below. The Bee rejoices at the stand taken by the Federal Government and the N. A. A. C. P. No argument is needed in the light of these facts to urge every loyal citizen of the United States to unite with the N. A. A. C. P., the organization which is fighting the people's battles. *** Colored Nebraskans yesterday made a stroke unprecedented when they secured a vote by the House of Representatives inviting William Monroe Trotter, of Boston, to address that body in their behalf. The speech by the corresponding secretary of the National Equal Rights League was probably unprecedented before a legislature in its non-compromise from the colored American's standpoint. Join the N. A. A. C. P., it is fighting your battles. *** It happened in Georgia, don't be surprised. What? The wholesale murder of the peons on the Jasper county farm. *** Join the N. A. A. C. P., it has struck the first blow—yea many blows in the Sunny Grove to "Let our people go!" *** Again and again has the civilized world been called to the conditions of the peons in many of our Southern States. *** Join the N. A. A. C. P. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WAGE EARNERS The following is a letter sent out by Nannie H. Burroughs to the colored-American women of the United States: "March 26, 1921. "My Dear Friend: "The hour has come for colored-American women to get together. We have too much in common to stay apart. I am writing to ask you to join one more organization. "We want to enlist 10,000 women in the National Association of Wage Earners, who in turn will enlist another 10,000. We want women from every walk of life—cooks and clerks, field hands and parlor maids, teachers and laundresses, dressmakers and charwomen, beauty culturists and factory workers, boarding-house keepers and trained nurses, business women and the army of unclassified toilers, North, South, East and West. "Membership in the association is $1.00 for the first year and $2.00 per year thereafter." "The women who are backing this organization are not misfits and failures, but are successful in their particular lines. Nor do they belong to that group that says, 'Hold the ladder while we climb.' They want all to climb together. They purpose to make this organization the biggest and best of its kind in the country. They need your help, and they believe they are going to get it. "Sincerely yours, "Nannie H. Burroughs, "President of the National Training School and Secretary of the Federation of Republican Women's Clubs." The purposes of the National Association of Wage Earners are as follows: 1. To develop and encourage efficient workers. 2. To assist women in finding the kind of work for which they seem best qualified. 3. To elevate the migrant class of workers and incorporate them permanently in service of some kind. 4. To standardize living conditions. 5. To secure a wage that will en- able women to live decently. 6. To assemble, the multitudes of grievances of employers and employees into a set of common demands and strive, mutually, to adjust them. 7. To enlighten women as to the value of organization. 8. To make and supply appropriate uniforms for working women. This shall be done through a profit-sharing enterprise operated by the association. 9. To influence just legislation affecting women wage earners. RECONSTRUCTION SESSION OF THE NATIONAL RACE CON- 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, 1921. 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 Congress. 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.

The wholesale robbery committed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was done by the white employees who supplanted the colored ones in the positions which they occupy. When the colored men did the work in the places of these white men—even when they helped to move the money from one building to another—nothing was stolen. Not one dollar of the large sum which was moved disappeared. Why is it that no colored girls are being appointed at the Bureau? Does Director Wilmeth know that there are so many worthy colored girls on the eligible list? The Bee is glad to bring this matter to his attention. WHY WILL OUR PEOPLE LAUGH IN THE WRONG PLACE? We were never so mortified in our lives as we were at the Belasco Theatre on Easter Monday morning, in the scene representing the hold of a slave ship. It is really sad to think that a cultivation of the pernicious habit of laughing at everything and nothing should culminate in holding up to contempt and ridicule the intelligent and innocent along with the ignorant and guilty. How any of our people could find anything humorous in the depiction of the agony suffered by our ancestors in the hold of a slave ship, and its parallel thought that that was the original cause of all the indignities, injustices and monstrosities which we have suffered, puzzles us. As the Evening Star justly said, "the uncalled-for and inexplicable levity of a certain portion of the audience during this particular scene, it may be mentioned, seemed strangely out of keeping with the consummate artistry and appeal of the situation. Certainly it would seem that no adult human being, from the most highly civilized to the most primitive, could fail to be profoundly and sympathetically stirred." Why will people laugh in the wrong place? LETTER TO ATTORNEY JAMES J. O'LEARY. April 3. 1920. Dear Sir: The original Parent-Teachers' Association of Washington, D. C., desire to thank you and your associates for the courageous and masterly defense of Messrs. Brooks and Waller in the matter of their ejectment from one of the cars operated by the W. B. & A. Railroad Company. We fully appreciate what it means for remember of the more fortunate race to have the temerity to defend, in this section of the country, a member of the less fortunate race who demands his constitutional rights against the infliction of treatment that would be damnable in a country less pretentious of its contribution to humanity than the United States of America. We rather anticipate your reply—that you merely did your duty. God grant that your example may be emulated by countless others who, while pretending to love right and justice, lack the manhood to exhibit it in a practical and beneficent manner. 602: K St. N. W. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH OF ALEXANDRIA, VA. By James Ballard. Last Sunday morning our pastor delivered a most instructive sermon. At 7:30 p. m. the pastor installed the officers of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Usher Board. The auxiliary was out in full, accompanied by the members of the Usher Board. The Usher Board and Auxiliary of Ebenezer Baptist Church were out in full as the guests of the two boards of Shiloh. The following officers were installed: Mrs. Lottie White, president; Mrs. Eliza Lee, vice-president; Mrs. Roberta Minor, secretary; Mrs. Martha Ball, assistant secretary; Mrs. Julia Washington, treasurer; Mrs. Mary E. Williams, chaplain; Mrs. Amy Redd, musician. At 8 p.m. a sermon and literary program was rendered. The pastor preached a wonderful sermon, his text being "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness." The literary program was under the auspices of the choir of the church (H. A. Norton, director; Miss B. Burke, pianist), and was as follows: Recitation. Mrs. Lottie White; solo, Mrs. Annie Coles; recitation, Mrs. Marie Madre-Marshall; solo, Mrs. Mary E. Williams; solo, Miss Medora Moxley; address, Mr. L. H. Williams; remarks, Lawyer Edmund Hill, Jr. MANY CONVERTED. Four hundred and one converts were received into full membership at Ames M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., by Pastor W. H. Dean on Easter Sunday. The service were largely attended, and over 500 were unable to gain admittance to the auditorium. Mme. Ethel Hardy Smith, lyric soprano of Boston, Mass., was heard to advantage in a brilliant song recital at Second Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Helping Hand Club, last Monday evening. Mrs. Hardy sustained the splendid reputation she bears in giving one of the most delightful vocal renditions ever heard in this old historic church, and verily thrilled her audience with birdlike tones of velvet smoothness and sweetness. Truly it may be said of her that she is an artist of the first rank among vocal stars of the race. Miss Eva Dykes performed at the piano as accompanist with satisfying taste, sympathetic touch and feeling. She is regarded as one of the best qualified accompanists of the race and is a remarkable musician herself. Mrs. Emma Lee Williams charmed her hearers with artistic readings that were well night perfect in the dramatic realm. The entire program was one of the most artistic and pleasing from every angle possible to enjoy, and the audience was elated as never before. The program was as follows: What's In the Air Today?.....Eden The Lark Now Leaves His Watery Nest.....Parker Qui Dei Contrabbandui (Carmen) --------------------------------- Bizet Mme. Ethel Hardy Smith Select Reading...Mrs. E. Lee Williams Robin, Robin, Sing Me a, Song-Spross All Hail to Thee, O Nile.....Palmer Song of the Open.....La Forge Mme.

Carlton Dorsey invited us over to a rehearsal of his juvenile orchestra, composed of youngsters, at his studio the other day. I was well repaid for my visit, as I heard some fairly good ensemble work being done by those children. Mr. Dorsey has a splendid group of children with which to work and develop, and he is doing excellent training with them. They take much interest in their work. As you may know, Mr. Dorsey came here a few years ago unknown and unheard of. He had a hard time of it at first in making himself felt in music circles and trying to break in that tight music "ring" of the select, which we are well aware of in this city. He has succeeded, however, despite handicaps and is acknowledged as one of the splendid musicians in our midst and a first-class music instructor. He has fought gallantly for recognition and has merited success, as he is a musicianly scholar and excellent violinist. In this little group he has gathered around him some bright little minds. Here they are: First violin, Alfred Scott, Lilliam Burch, Armond Scott, Robert Glenn, Earl McDonald, James Blackiston, Arthur Brooks, Ellsworth Honesty and Harvey Powell; cornet, Joseph Carter, Henry Goodwin and Herbert, Glenn; trombone, James Green; drums, Ellsworth Herbert; piano, Layard Hughes. They are performing such pieces as "Cadet's Drill" (Drumheller), "Misere" (Verdi), "Flower Song" (Lange), "Bugle Boy March" (Engelmann) and "Alice, Where Art Thou?" (Ascher). They were organized four months ago and hold rehearsals twice weekly. All are first-year scholars, which shows that efficient work is being done by Mr. Dorsey. *** A musical recital program was rendered at the People's Congregational Church, M street northwest, on Friday evening, April 8, with the following participating: Misses Mary Europe and Estelle Pinckney and Dr. C. Sumner Wormley. Archie Harrod Jubilee Company. Archie Harrod is in town, after a sojourn half way around the world for several months since leaving here. He was a former choir director of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, southwest, where he was doing good work once upon a time. Now he is heading a jubilee company, which has received some excellent press comments. The Hamilton (Bermuda) Mid-Ocean says: "Success continues to attend the talented quartet. After the concert, Commander Larg (an official)' congratulated the quartet and expressed satisfaction for himself and others of the company. At the matinee on Saturday was a large gathering, among them Col. Albert Swalm, United States consul general at Bermuda. After this entertainment Col. Swalm made a short address, in the course of which he stated that he had enjoyed the concert better than anything of the kind he had heard since he lis- The Colonel later sent Mr. Harrod a personal letter, and because of its appeal, it is herewith reproduced in full for your benefit: "American Consulate, Hamilton, Bermud "It affords me the greatest pleasure to state that the Bermuda public, which includes a large number of American tourists, have had and enjoyed a rare musical treat in the Archie Harrod Chautauqua Concert Party, whose entertainments found an appreciation in high degree. We all felt that it was a lucky day that turned these entertainers down Bermuda way and they have well earned the plaudits given them. Mr. Harrod, deserves well in all repute as a manager who knows how to cater to the music-loving world, and his program brings out in delightful way all the rich and sweet melody found in the songs of the people who once were slaves and chattels, but now, thanks be to God and Abraham Lincoln, have long made amends for the losses that life put upon their forbears—in those distant days when the auction block was a part and parcel of the local political outfit of so many American States. The world does move, and the splendid development of the American men and women of color is one of civilization's proudest and most lasting achievements. The best of good luck attend these charming entertainers. This to whom it may interest. "Albert W. Swalm, "American Consul, Hamilton." That's interesting reading, isn't it? Well, his company is here and gave their first local entertainment at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church on Friday evening. They will give concerts for a few months in the city, leaving next fall. Members of the company are: Miss Freita Shaw, soprano, of Portland, Orc.; Miss Matilda Walton, contralto, of Seattle, Wash., and others. WOODBRIDGE·(VA.) NOTES.

It is that of "Dad" Beatie, a colored-American chaplain among the troops at Fort Myer, who has been discharged from the service and is now hunting a job. Chaplain Beatie was successful in raising large sums for Liberty Bonds and for the Red Cross during the late war among colored Americans in the State of Arkansas, the State of his birth. In one locality he raised $11,000 among his friends, $1,000 more than the allotment for the entire county. He contributed four boys for the colored-American regiments during the war and brought four deserters to camp, for which service he refused the customary reward. Chaplain Beatie, who has spent his life spreading the Gospel among the colored Americans in the South, has been discharged in a strange city. His funds are rapidly decreasing and his prospects for obtaining more are anything but bright. He is very anxious to get back to his little farm in Arkansas; where his devoted wife is awaiting him. This is a worthy case—a man who has shown his patriotism and never shown a white feather, now almost a beggar. Is this the thanks one receives for patriotism? Is this true democracy? Why not get together and find some way in which to assist this most worthy chaplain? A free-will offering in our churches would go a long way toward reaching the desired goal. Well, I had heard so much talk about the Odd Fellows' Band after the trip to New York during the last B. M. C. that I thought I would attend the concert to be given at the Peoples' Congregational Church last Sunday night. Well, I went; but I heard no concert, much to my surprise. Under the leadership of my friend Elzie S. Hoffman, the band was started, and after a short season of rehearsal, accompanied the District Odd Fellows to New York. It will long be remembered what an impression this band made on the vast crowd which lined the course of the parade. Owing to some misunderstanding between those in charge, Mr. Hoffman was asked to send in his resignation, much to the surprise of the band, because none of the members had been consulted. A new man was put in charge, the band, members having no voice in the proceeding. It was through the untiring efforts of Mr. Hoffman that this band was brought together. It was through him that the best musicians in the city were brought into the band. The question of fellowship is all right; but right is right, and Mr. Hoffman should have been given a square deal. Now the band is only a shadow of its former self, and will continue to dwindle until this wrong is righted. Our best wishes are with our friend Elzie. Well, one month has passed since the inauguration of President Harding. Nothing startling has happened in the appointment of our colored-American brethren to office, but I understand that there will be a great stir when the next Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia is announced. Watch out. I suggest that President Harding be given time to shape his policies. Don't become panicky over propaganda; because there are many people and papers seeking fame, even at the cost of public safety. The wholesale murder of colored Americans in Georgia seems to have been no more than an attempt to hide slavery in its worst form. This is a blot upon American civilization. Eleven death victims have been found who were the prey of plantation owners, and heaven only knows how many more who will never be heard from. This slavery may not be limited to Georgia alone, but this condition may be found in some other States. The United States Government ought to take a hand in this. Uncover all now! TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. By William C. Allen. The writer is a member of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, who before the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and the United States were well known as earnest workers on behalf of the freedom of the colored Americans. Often has our denomination in bygone days suffered contempt and loss of property because we tried to help you. Now, as a friend, I want to help you. You have difficulties to encounter which your ancestors did not know. It is true that many of you are at present discouraged because of your trials. We cannot wonder at this. But it is exceedingly important to remember how far your race has advanced in America in the past fifty-five years. You have a record to be glad of. Compare your present hold- ings of real estate, your bank accounts, your schools, your churches, your honored men, with the insignificant position you held with respect to these matters fifty-five years ago. You are a new race, and in a short time have forged ahead beyond what any of us would then have thought possible. Get the Government statistics referring to these things and many of you will be astonished at your own progress. I have observed the condition of your race in many lands. While in some small countries a few-hundred thousands of colored people have advantages, nowhere except in America do so many of them have as much good food, clothing and the regard of the white race as in the United States. Now some men urge you to resent the ill will of those who are not your friends. This will be a bad thing for you do to. Hate begets hate, force begets force, evil begets evil. You have made your wonderful progress the past fifty-five years in spite of receiving ill treatment and injustice from some quarters. You have given a fine example to the world of the possibilities of development while trusting in God. Do not throw away that trust and so invite trouble for yourselves or for your children. Do not think too much about those who have ill-used you. Do not forget that many white people have abused other white people far more than have the white people abused you of latter years. Remember that you have millions of true friends in America. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ, representing millions of church people, has spoken on your behalf. Recollect how the friendship of those who esteem you is proved by their contributions to your schools and colleges. Do not forget that while unkind words hurt and injustices burn into our souls, there are many, many people in America who speak kind words to you and who are working on your behalf. You may not always see them, but they are all about you. Do not disappoint them by loss of self-control. Keep all your friendships bright. I appeal to you on behalf of your friends, as well as on your own behalf, not to listen to the advice of those who advocate "striking back." The recent war has proved that force does not secure rights as does a constant, cheerful working out of the problems that assail us. Do not give up your past steady way of improvement for a new way which will only invite disaster for yourselves and your children. Those of you who know the truth of what I say will have need of using all their influence to quiet the hot heads among you. This must be done if your race is to continue its fine development in America. If your ministers continue to preach trust in God you will discover that the spiritual forces are stronger than all else. You will find that your material development will continue to grow. Great are the possibilities for you as you continue in well-doing. CHESTER BROOK NEWS. CHESTER BROOK NEWS.

The National Race Congress of the United States of America, Inc. (Dr. W. H. Jernagin, founder and president; Dr. H. J. Callis, executive secretary), holds a unique and enviable place among the national organizations whose object is to better the condition of the race. The founder of this great organization built more wisely than he knew. The officers of the congress are men and women of national reputation and are among the most influential of the race. Dr. Jernagin is a man of international reputation, great ability, unquestioned loyalty and energy. He is a tireless worker. The executive secretary, in the person of Dr. H. I. Callis, the former chairman of the executive committee, is one of the most able men the race has produced, and he is leaving no stone unturned to make the coming session of the congress the greatest in its history. Dr. J. Harvey Randolph, the new chairman of the executive committee, has decreed that it shall be done. Dr. Randolph knows how to bring things to pass. The officers are heartily supported in their plans to take care of the congress by such men as Drs. Walter H. Brooks, W. I. Howard, J. Milton Waldron O. E. Jones and others. Washington is preparing to give the congress the greatest welcome this year it has ever seen. The sessions will be held in Zion Baptist Church, F street between Third and Four-and-a-half streets southwest, Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor, Zion Baptist Church is one of the most beautiful edifices in the National Capital. The main auditorium has just been renovated at a cost of $12,000. It is agreed on all sides that the coming session of the congress will be the most important in its history. It will be the first time since the organization of the Congress that the Republican party has been in complete control of all branches of the Government, and there is no excuse for failure to enact such laws as will protect all of its citizens everywhere in the country in their civil and political rights. In a recent session of the executive committee it was unanimously decided to insist upon the passage at the next session of the United States Congress of an anti-lynching bill and a Federal election law that will permit all of the citizens of the United States who are eligible to vote to cast their ballots at the elections and have them honestly counted. In order that the organizations interested in such legislation may present a solid front, they are urged to send delegates to the congress, which will meet in Washington, D. C., on May 4, 1921, with power to act for their respective organizations. We are sure the colored editors of the country will do their bit in putting over this program in the interest of the race. They were sound to the core and loyal to the men during the late World War in the fight for universal democracy, and we are sure they will not be less loyal to their own people. This fight needs the hearty support of every true man and woman. There must be no slackers. Rally around the flag, boys, rally once again. TO IMPROVE YOUR HAIR Quinade is a medicated oomade, scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co. 10 Greene street, New York City.

Allen, 409 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa., in which he is quoted as follows: "I appeal to you on behalf of your friends, as well as on your own behalf, not to listen to the advice of those who advocate striking back," etc. We thank the writer for the timely and friendly advice given in the other part of the communication, but The Bee is at a loss to know what is meant by the writer by "striking back." Does he mean not to strike back now for the wrongs of the past and present because the better-thinking world is trying to right them? Or does he mean not to strike back in self-defense? If the former, The Bee believes with the writer that we have millions of true friends in America among the other race who speak in our behalf, even if it be in executive session. Many of them are humane and of the type of Senator Penrose, or have the spirit of the late Cardinal Gibbons. The Bee agrees with the writer that the race has made wonderful progress since its emancipation, although obstacles have always been heaped high across its path. It is the light from these two events, together with the deepening consciousness of the race, which has enabled the race to lift itself above the plane to which it was consigned by its enemies into the light of greater achievements. Like the great Pullman limited car, sweeping through space, the race has not stopped to strike at the many curs-that bark at it—else it would have gotten nowhere. On the other hand, if the writer means the latter, he is advising against the laws of nature, which are not followed by himself. Even among the lower animals nature provides for self-defense and self-protection. Let us hope that in this grand age of reconstruction, in the light of this generous opportunity offered everyone to right past wrongs, that we all shall be too busy in our efforts to broadly adjust the difficulties—that there will be no place for the grouch in any walk of life. If a majority of the people of both races stand for the right and by the right, all difficulties will quickly melt as ice beneath a tropical sun.

The Bee, upon reading the article, proceeded at once to investigate for the purpose of giving its readers the facts concerning the report. While not completed, the result of its findings so far are that Mrs. Virginia White Speel knows nothing of any such petition, nor has she had any presented to her. There is no woman in the country who has done more for the race or who has worked in greater harmony with the colored-American people than has Mrs. Virginia White Speel.

Harding, President of the United States of America, took up his position beneath its graceful shade, which he will occupy for the next four years." The Bee would caution this faithful watcher not to become panicky, but to give the President ample time to shape his policies. When this is done; The Bee wishes to see D. C. plums fall on D. C. faithfuls. When the large plums are shaken from the branches of the tree which extend into the States, may some fall on Charles G. Anderson, of New York, and J. Silas Harrison, of Kansas City, Mo. One of the embarrassments to any administration is where ten men seek one political plum. Common sense teaches us that nine will be disappointed. What is to be done under these conditions? Should the nine be discouraged because the impossible could not be done? No. This is the reconstructive age; it needs the support of the other nine. There are other political plums on the tree which might be yours if properly sought. In reply to "You Know," The Bee desires to state that our bar correspondent who wrote the notes in our last issue is a Protestant. We have a highly cultured and well-informed bar, and The Bee thinks that the bar and the ministry should get closer together. The churches should have open doors for the bar, and the bar should pass through them to the people who need their advice and help. N. A. A. C. P. MEETS. The meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church on Wednesday, March 30, was a great success. The speeches were all timely and awakened unprecedented enthusiasm in the great cause represented by this association. Never in the history of the association was there so broad a field for operation along its peculiar line as at the present time. Certainly all loyal colored Americans will at this time rally to the standard of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It is the organization of the colored Americans in this country that promises most for the permanent and satisfactory adjustment of all the ills from which we as a race are suffering today. The association not only needs, but richly deserves, the cooperation and hearty support of every true colored American in the land. The depredations that are now being unearthed in Georgia and other parts of the South should be a sufficient inspiration for all to rally to the support of this most worthy association. It should be very distinctly understood that every fiber of the association is consecrated and devoted exclusively to the cause of the colored American and the darker races the world over. The fact that the association is indorsed and supported by hundreds, and even thousands, of the white people, who stand for righteousness, justice and fair play for the colored American, should not be regarded as an element of weakness, but one of great power and thought to the cause represented by the association. Indeed, every just consideration would suggest the wisdom of lining up all white people who are willing to lift themselves above the barbarism that has so long dominated so large an element of the white race in this country. There is now little doubt but that the present drive for additional members will prove a great success and that the association will go on and on to success and final victory. MR. JOSEPH S. GRAVES. Mr. Joseph S. Graves opened the doors of his new $40,000 cafe to an enthusiastic public on Saturday, the 26th of March. Special effort was made to have everything working in smooth order for the grand opening, and he succeeded to that end completely. The public showed its appreciation of his effort with their attendance, and Mr. Graves reports the biggest business that was ever done in one day by him. This cafe is the finest in this country that is owned outright by a member of our race. The dining-room is spacious and beautiful, with tiled floors and walls. Electric lights and plenty of electric fans to keep the place cool in hot weather. It has a seating capacity of 175. The kitchen is large, well ventilated and has the latest labor-saving devices, such as an electric dish-washer, potato-pceler and --- appointment of the colored Amer- the fact that there are more than a job sought.

Mr. Graves has worked faithfully to give the people, a first-class place to eat. Over the cafe he has twenty rooms for transient guests. This was needed, being near the Union Station, where many of our race are passing in and out of the city and have, no convenient place to stop at reasonable rates. Mr. Graves has a great ambition to further enlarge his house to a real hotel, and with the cooperation of the people in patronizing him, as they have heretofore, it will be realized. His wife, Mrs. Minnie L. Graves, an amiable woman with progressive business ideas, has been an inspiration to him in his success, as has his son "Johnny," as he is familiarly known. He has great business ability and a bright future ahead. Mr. W. Howlett Jones, formerly of Danville, Va., and one of the most successful business men in the State, is now associated with Mr. Graves in the management of the cafe. Thirty waitresses, cooks, maids and helpers are employed in the maintenance of this cafe. The payroll runs to nearly $2,000 a month. Quite a business, and you can readily see that he must be giving the public a-square deal to be so successful. Give his place the once-over when you are in his neighborhood. 16 and 18 G street northwest. ANACOSTIA NEWS.

We all sympathize with our young brother, Mr. M. Brewer, in being rejected from one of our institutions because of the fact that he has shown to all that he is willing at all times to be of service to our churches and societies. The young man should be given fair play. It would be far better if those in authority should be more conservative. No organization or institution can succeed in life and be welcomed by friends or spiritual associates which has an acid disposition that sours everything it touches and spreads gloom everywhere. "He that is without fault, Let him cast the first stone." We find the much-needed talent in our good young brother. It should be observed by others. The Citizens' Association hopes to bring our people into a more united accord with each other. We hope each one will do his part. Our accomplishment will depend on the action we take regarding self-betterment. We have the power within, but if we are to go forward to our highest rewards, we must realize the high-tide in our affairs is at hand. If we take this fundamental and complete system, who can tell what splendid success we may achieve? *** A St. Patrick's concert was given by Mrs. Maggie Mack for the benefit of the A. M. E. Church.

Louis Sheafe addressed the Bethel Literary last Tuesday night. His subject was "Man and His Investment." The speaker held his audience from beginning to end. It was one of the most inspiring addresses the society has ever listened to: The meeting was held in the main auditorium. In schools and colleges women are measuring up to men in scholarship. As teachers they are putting soul into their work. Few experiences are so fascinating as to visit a school where some woman with a great soul, as principal, presides. One can see that the attitude of the teachers and scholars toward her is one of love and affection, mingled with reverence and awe. Under her benign influence the school in all its parts seems to operate like a perfect and well-oiled piece of machinery. All elements of the work seem to reflect the poise and charm of such a personality. Yet in some sections of the country—in many parts of the world—such a position would be denied a woman for no other reason than that she is a woman! What justice is this? Undoubtedly there are some men who as principals do as well; but where can one be found who does better than a number of women who can be mentioned? In the learned professions—so called law, medicine, theology—women have begun also to command increasing influence. In their school and club debates, to which we have listened with profit, their powers of analysis, marshaling of facts; choice dictation and clear statements of the cases are logical and convincing. They seldom exclude men from their meetings. In this they set men an example in generosity. Women have even invaded the field of architecture. Many a time has the writer visited and found rest in a beautiful structure at Green Acre, Maine, known as the Fellowship House. It was planned and built entirely under the direction of a woman. In athletics, too, girls have begun to prove their inherent strength and to measure up to an equal standard with boys. When trained, they can play baseball and basket ball just as cleverly as boys. It is much to the credit of their common sense that they do not engage in the pastimes of football and warfare. They wisely leave the business of killing each other to the exclusive folly of men. May they never surrender their bright jewels of tenderness and mercy! It becomes evident to anyone who sees clearly that any backwardness that women still show on either the physical, mental or spiritual planes is due only to the lack of development, and not to any inherent inferiority to the male species. In the realm of intuition and of the emotions, their powers have been long known to excell men's. As the power of love becomes more and more dominant in the new age, it is certain that with it will the sway of women also increase. Acceptance of the principle of equality is also conducive to domestic harmony. Under the crude barbarism of the common law, a married woman suffered disabilities which placed her on a par with infants, idiots and lunatics. Her personality was merged in that of her husband. But this condition is gone forever. A true wife is her husband's equal—not his slave. A just man wants no rights for himself that he is willing to deny her whom he ought to hold dearer than himself. The freedom and happiness of man and woman are one and inseparable. Tie one end of a chain to the neck of a slave, says Emerson, and the other end will automatically adjust itself about your own neck. To men of insight this is a philisophical axiom. The principle of the equality of the sexes is today a divine law, a pillar of the new civilization and an emanation from the Kingdom of God. Whoever opposes it faces increasing difficulties and certain defeat. Who can change the high tide of destiny or alter the stars in their courses? Whoever accepts, proclaims and lives this vital principle will find himself supported by the just and thoughtful, illumined by the light of the Spirit, confirmed in service to the world of humanity, and in the end crowned with glorious victory. For every element of the world of humanity, thralldom is darkness, sorrow and death. For each and all, freedom is light, joy and life! "Women have equal rights with men upon earth! In religion and society they are a very important element. As long as women are prevented from attaining their highest possibilities, so long will men be unable to achieve the greatness that might be theirs." No scheme of universal brotherhood will ever succeed that denies women the same rights and privileges as men. Without the vital factor of women the equation will never balance. Justice for all must be the criterion. Humanity cannot exist half slave and half free! During past ages women who attained distinction and renown were exceptional and rare; but such figures as Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary the Magdalene, Sappho, Zenobia, Catherine II of Russia, Elizabeth, Sarah Marlborough and Florence Nightingale proved that in religion, arts, science, administration—even in warfare—women could attain eminence if given a chance. Beginning with 1844, the years have marked greater and greater freedom for the oppressed sex. The day of their emancipation has come! To them the lines have fallen in pleasant places and to them is the goodly heritage of liberty. This decade has seen the Nineteenth Amendment become a part of our Federal Constitution. Great Britain, under high pressure, has yielded to the suffragettes, and Italy and other European powers have bowed to the more gentle behests of the ladies. Egypt, Japan and Persia have made concessions. China has emancipated at least the feet of women. Even in the realm of the Turk, whom the late Mr. Gladstone called "unspeakable," 400 women of the best families in Constantinople have been reported to rebel against the life of the harem, and because of this have been punished by being sent as exiles to Akka. Perhaps these citations suffice to indicate the world sweep of women's rights. Under these circumstances even men who feel dismayed because they sense possible loss of some of their ancient control and so oppose, if gumption is theirs, will surely withdraw in order to avoid the avalanche. The usefulness of women continually broadens. Few lines of social and spiritual uplift are now unapproached by her, and she ornaments those spheres in which she moves. Her progress is so rapid as to amaze friends and foes. Equal rights, for the most part, here accorded women, have made Washington one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Life here for a season will serve to modify any reactionary views on the subject. Quite recently a great suffragette leader expressed her approval of us because, she said, we had always favored women. While appreciating this compliment and the kindness which prompted it, honesty compels us to admit that when we entered Washington, more than twenty years ago, a callow youth from South Carolina, our notions about women's rights belonged very decidedly to the old order. One day, to us memorable, with the cock-sureness of youth, we aired our views before the Congressional Lyceum over which our genial friend, Judge Martin, presided. Quite unknown to us, the witty debater—the late Mat Bowen—was present. She valiantly arose to defend her sex. Among many pungent remarks, she protested that if a man's head was as big as a tub it was no proof that he was superior to a woman! Moreover, she declared that she was sick and tired of these "Namby-pamby dudes" who go about decrying the women and vainly trying to limit their spheres. The audience roared with laughter, and we felt as uncomfortable as a wet hen, though not convinced of the error of our thoughts. The next to take us in hand was the late Mrs. Sprague, the very polished daughter of the Hon. Frederick Douglass. With sweet reasonableness, she called our attention to the fact that the same Bourbon arguments that once supported human slavery were now advanced to oppose the emancipation of women. The deeds and words of these and many other great women whom we have met here and elsewhere have helped to chase away the old ideals which belonged to the Dark Ages. It is only necessary to see what women can do to be convinced of their powers. An open mind cannot resist the logic of actions. At a recent meeting of the Washington Ministerial Alliance; a general officer of one of our great churches made a statement concerning conditions in the South affecting the churches. He said that in traveling --- 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. For further information and Catalog, address PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA a distance of 100 miles on Saturday he observed seventy-five ministers, who held churches in the rural districts, leaving the cities and going to their various churches to preach on the Sabbath. It is reasonable to presume that what was observed in this instance in the Southern State mentioned may be observed on any Saturday in any of the Southern States. There is here food for much serious thought for those who really have the interest of the church at heart and who are concerned about the spiritual, moral and intellectual uplift of the masses of the great race with which it is our good fortune to be identified. The first sad contemplation is that the congregations over which these seventy-five ministers of the Gospel have oversight are for at least, six days in the week without an overseer. They are as sheep without a shepherd. Out of 365 days, the preacher can only give his flock fifty-two days. In such a condition every congregation sustains a distinct loss. By all manner of means, the preacher should live and move and have his being on the field among his people. They should have the benefit of his life and example, which we must presume would be a source of inspiration and hope to them as they struggle up the hill of life. There is still another serious contemplation. It is that these conditions in the South are such too often as to render it practically impossible for these ministers to go upon these fields, set up the Gospel banner and live and grow and build there among their people. To do this would bring them and their work directly in conflict with Southern traditions which are at once inimical to Christian civilization, culture and refinement for the colored American. The popular South of today has a place for the colored American; and any sentiment, enterprise or culture that would seem to uplift the colored American from that place is met with the most bitter opposition from the Southern Christian chivalry. From this viewpoint there is some valid reason or excuse for the colored ministry of the South living and staying as far as possible away from the flocks over which they have been DR. T.

They are not wanted in the South at all, especially in the rural districts, where the people are at work on the farms and in the rice swamps. The corn and cotton fields are not places for refined and cultured ministers of the Gospel, even though they may come with a message of eternal life. from the King of Heaven and Earth. Such sentiment and messages are not at all compatible with Southern tradition respecting the colored American at work in the rural districts of the South. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS TO MEET HERE.

Later scientific men learned that in gout, (also true in rheumatism), the kidneys do not work properly to throw off the uric acid poison; consequently uric acid crystals are deposited in and about the joints, where an inflammation is set up in the nearby tissues. When for any reason the circulation is sluggish, as in the joints of the toes, crystals formed from uric acid are deposited there, and one suffers from gout; or, when deposited in the tissues or muscles, one suffers from backache, muscular rheumatism or articular rheumatism. To counteract the uric acid and to throw it out of system take tablets of An-uric (anti-uric acid), three times a day. "Anuric" was first discovered by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.
