Washington Bee

The Washington Dec Among Colored Applicants Among the many avowed, active and exceedingly earnest colored applicants for office at the hands of President Harding there has arisen and perhaps quite naturally, an intense rivalry. But that rivalry is approaching dangerously close to bitter acrimoneous, and inexusable division, if reports current be true. Because of the limited number of offices allocated to the race, in comparison with the number open to those of the white race, it is to be expected that rivalry will ensue. The whites can expect as they have always been rewarded with them, all the Federal offices in all the States, while the colored men may only look to being chosen to fill a relatively few places outside of the States in which they reside. It is no use to discuss here the conditions that make for this limiting of offices for men of the race. It is not a theory—it is a fact, and no president, alone, is responsible for the existing conditions, and no president alone, no matter how just and fair he desires to be, can completely remedy those conditions. For the few offices usually allotted to the race there are a great number of applicants, many of whom are fully capable to administer the duties. But in the contest for these few offices there has followed a "If I can't you shall not" spirit. The pre-election spirit and practice on the part of a few to "keep out," rather than enlist the cordial activity of all, apparently, is again present. Our first and the foremost consideration is to secure representation—as equitable representation as possible. It is for the mass of the race, not a question of men, but of representation. The great mass of the race that neither hopes for or desires office is not concerned in the selfish ambitions of the few. This great mass desires representation as a matter of justice and encouragement for future equal opportunities, and is little concerned whether Tom, Dick or Harry is finally chosen, so long as either Tom, Dick or Harry measures up to the duties of the office aspired to. Applicants for office, whether municipal, State or Federal, merely predjudice their case and limit the chances of their success when they attempt to fight, and vindictively, other aspirants while pushing their own claims for recognition. Prompting, and pushing a propaganda against the selection of a rival rarely ever nets satisfactory results. If our many applicants for office, and especially those who betook themselves to Washington for the purpose of "watchful waiting," would boost their own campaign, and knock less the candidacy of other equally as good men for office, the president would not experience near as much difficulty in making a selection. It appears that the contest for office, among not a few colored men, has narrowed down to a bolshivek determination to destroy the other man. It has been said of President Harding that he so abstains from vindictiveness, from the casting of aspersions, that after a contest, or following the settlement of a difference, he never has anything to take back, while his adversary has everything to take back. Colored applicants for office should so conduct their respective campaigns for office that when finally a man has been selected for office they will be free to cordially congratulate the successful man. If colored applicants for office would regard their candidacies simply and only as an effort to secure represenation for the race, rather than to appease a selfish ambition to get on the government payroll, the acrimony—the "If I can't you shall not" spirit—would be dissipated, and we would get back to normalcy. Every man who is an applicant for office has a perfect right to aspire, and it should be obligatory upon each applicant to regard his rival as a citizen clothed with the same right he enjoys. Public office is a public trust. The bitter fight now waging between candidates—the rule or ruin spiriti quite evident—suggests that too many regard public office as a private snap; that there is more of a desire to advance one's personal interests than advance the interests of the race. Unquestionably the President and his advisors are advised regarding this acrimoneous contest. VOL.

Unquestionably the Presid regarding this acrimoneous cont ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT R. C. BRUCE IS GIVEN LEAVE OF ABSENCE BY REQUEST. Board Acts on Assistant Superintendent's Request and Dr. Ballou's Recommendation—No Pay Allowed. Harrison Pleased Friction Is Removed—Parents' League to Drop Protesting, But Insist Absence Be Made Permanent. An indefinite leave of absence from his duties as assistant superintendent of the colored public schools, effective September 1, was granted to Bitter Roscoe C. Bruce at an adjourned meeting of the board of education yesterday. This action on Mr. Bruce's own request was taken generally to mean his virtual severance of connections with the District schools, and, interpreted as such, received favorable comment as an effectual settlement of the long-standing fight on his incumbency. Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, who has taken an active interest in the betterment of the schools here and who served on the special investigating committee of the Senate a year ago, expressed his pleasure at the action of the board. WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY. MAY 28, 1921 Sees Step as Removal. "I am sure, the senator said, that the action of Superintendent Ballou and the board of education in granting an indefinite leave of absence without pay to Assistant Superintendent Bruce of the colored schools will meet with the general approval of those who are interested in seeing friction eliminated from the school system. Of course, I take it that the indefinite leave of absence is virtually a removal of Bruce from the assistant superintendency of the colored schools. "This change will work greatly for the betterment of the school system here. There is no reason why the many incidents that destroyed Bruce's efficiency in the colored schools be revived. It is enough to know that friction has long existed among the colored population; a substantial percentage of whom believed that the school system would be improved by the appointment of someone in Bruce's place. "It is delightful to those of us who are interested in bettering school conditions in the District to see the reforms which are being brought about by the present superintendent' and board of educaton." Picketing Banners Recalled. Announcement of Bruce's leave-taking of the colored schools was followed yesterday by a secession of hostilities on the part of the Parents' League. Pickets who for many months past have marched around the Franklin building carrying banners denouncing Bruce were recalled shortly after noon when the action of the board became known. The sentiment in the organization points to a complete abandonment of agitation on condition that Bruce's leave of absence is to mean that he will leave the system. Mrs. C. M. Tanner, president of the league, voiced this feeling of the members last night. "We want Bruce removed from the system altogether," she said. "This is what we have contended for. If his leave of absence means that he is in really leaving the colored schools then we are satisfied. If it will mean his return at a later time then we will renew our fight. As for Bruce's successor, we are not going to hamper his usefulness. We will give him a chance." The request of Assistant Superintendent Bruce for an indefinite leave of absence dated May 18, was referred to the board yesterday by Superintendent Ballou. It read as follows: The Request of Bruce. "I have the honor to request leave of absence from my position as assistant superintendent in charge of colored public schools for an indefinite period beginning September 1, 1921. During the term of such leave, if I should desire to engage in any other gainful occupation. I request permission of the board of education to do so. In any case, let me say, it is my purpose to enter upon certain inquiries within the field of educational administration." Superintendent Ballou recommended granting of the leave on the following conditions: 1. That in accordance with the law the leave of absence is understood to be without pay. 2. That Mr. Bruce be permitted to engage in gainful occupation while on leave of absence. In Accord With Board Rules. 3. That Mr. Bruce's reappointment to service following this leave of absence shall be in accordance with rule 1 of the board of education and section 2 of the organic act, namely, "upon written recommendation of the superintendent of schools," at the discretion of the said superintendent. 4. That the appointment of a per- son to fill the position of assistant superintendent of colored schools on and after September 1, 1921, be made at the early convenience of the superintendent. 5. That the provisions of the rules of the board of education which are inconsistent with any part of these recommendations be suspended. On further recommendation of the superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson, principal of Dunbar High school, was appointed assistant superintendent effective September 1. One member of the board, Fountain Peyton, who has for some time opposed Bruce, dissented when the vote to grant Bruce his leave of absence was taken at the meeting yesterday. In support of his opposition Mr. Peyton made the following statement: Statement by Peyton. "This is the first case arising under the administration of Dr. Ballou in which I have been forced by a sense of duty to oppose the superintendents's recommendation. I regret that the cause for such acton on my part has arisen, but I cannot conscientiously concur in any recommendation in the Bruce case which does not put that case at rest once-for all. "I do not recall any one thing that has contributed so largely to the destruction of morale in the schools, the creation of bitter factions in the schools and the stirring up of unrest and animosities among the people generally as the Bruce case. This case has hung like a pall over the schools and the community for the past ten years, and the end is not in sight. Less enlightened communities would not have tolerated the Bruce case for so long a time. The personal interests of one man, no matter how much influence he could bring to bear, would not have been allowed to sap the life of a school system and keep the whole community in uproar and turmoil. "It is apparent to the whole community and admitted on all sides that the usefulness of Mr. Bruce in this locality has long been at an end and that the good of the system required his removal several years ago. Instead of treating the case with decision and firmness, resort was had to temporization, which always makes a bad case worse. "It is unfortunate that this case was left as a legacy to Dr. Ballou. He met a situation sufficiently trying on his arrival, but since he has been charged with the settlement of the case I think that it should be met in a square, fearless, business-like manner and settled completely and forever. "This recommendation, in fact, continues Mr. Bruce in the system and offers an opportunity for litigation in the future and continued agitation. "I feel that we should retain Mr. Bruce or dispose of him in a manner that will be decisive and thoroughly understood by the public. "I would like to have these reasons made a part of the record." Came to Capital in 1906, Although he has not revealed his plans, it is thought that Mr. Bruce is considering another position which will take him out of the District school system. He has been in the schools here since 1906, coming to Washington from Tuskegee Institute, where he taught under Booker T. Washington. Mr. Bruce was at first supervising principle and in 1907 was appointed to his present position. The fight against his administration was waged at first in the board in 1911 and was begun again two years ago by the Parents' League. There are so many faults in the average man that there are so few that can afford to criticize the other. Brilliant Meeting—Record Attendance—Powerful Enthusiasm—Inspiring Music—Lofty Purposes Set Forth. The three days of the convention for amity between the white and colored races, May 19, 20 and 21, add'a brilliant and wonderful volume of deeds and sentiments to human welfare. The sessions were held at the First Congregational Church, historically famous for its opposition to racial prejudices. Great interest was manifested throughout the city, resulting in splendid audiences for each of the five sessions. The speakers, without exception, struck the highest note of duty, justice, freedom and love. The abandonment of prejudices and universal brotherhood. Among these were many high in official life, social standing, religious, civic influence and business life in various parts of America. The music under the directing genius of Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, and planned to express the best in Negro life, was of celestial harmony. The signs of great happiness appeared in the faces of the speakers and were reflected by those in attendance. Considering the various elements brought together, the harmonious blending of all, it was a proof of the Pentecostial fire to which so many of the depates testified. For nothing but the Divine Power could bring together so remarkable a gathering with such astonishing results. The full significance of this convention will be seen in years to come, when the vibrations of harmony which it set in motion are traced to their origin. This is best expressed in a message from Abdul Baha, the Servant of God, who from his busy life of service sent a message which was transmitted to the convention by Mr. Mountfort Mills, a New York lawyer. It was as follows: "Say to this convention that never since the beginning of time has a convention of more importance ever been held. This convention stands for the oneness of humanity. It will become the cause of the removal of hostilities between the races. It will become the cause of the enlightenment of America. It will, if wisely managed and continued, check the deadly struggle between these races, which otherwise will inevitably break out." Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the church, was one of the number of ministers who helped by his presence, and at the opening session offered a beautiful prayer, that the power of love might be increased and that all men might realize, in this time of great difficulty, their duty to God and humanity. Mr. William H. Randall, of Boston, presiding, said: "We feel the spirit of the age, which calls to remodel society so that the human family can live in peace and happiness. Pride of race and prejudice destroy. May we put these aside, see the nobleqailities in each race and advance toward love and fellowship. It is the spiritual power alone that can create this." Senator Samuel M. Shortridge, of California made a very eloquent address, dwelling upon the principles of peace and good will. He expressed admiration for the colored race, saying he could never forget that colored men marched gladly to death that America might be free. He promised in all proper, prudent and possible ways to be their champion. Mrs. Henry Grant very sweetly sang two selections from Burleigh. Master Lenore Cook, accompanied by his uncle, as a vocal solo, sang one of the latter's selections, "Mammy." Repeating this by request on the closing night. A white lady who was touched by his theme and voice, presented the boy with a beautiful diamond, set in platinum. Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham thrillingly told the story of the heart songs of a people. The same being sung by the Dunbar Community singers, directed by Mr. W. Scott Mayo. To be continued next week IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 14, 1921. Mr. Caraway Introduced the Following Bill; Which Was Read Twice and Referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. A Bill Prohibiting the Enlistment of Any Member of the Negro Race in the Military or Naval Services of the United States of America, and Directing the Discharge of all Members of the Negro Race Now Serving in Any Branch of the Military or Naval Service of the United States. Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States shall be discharged from such service within sixty days after the passage of this act. Section 3. That no member of the Negro race shall be admitted to, either the Military Academy or the Naval Academy of the United States. HARVARD HELP TO SCHOOLS. Washington Club Appoints Committee to Co-operate in Upbuilding. Clarence Wilson, president of the Washington Harvard club, has ap- Be it anacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that hereafter, in times of peace, no member of the Negro race shall be enlisted in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States of America. Section 2. That all members of the May 14, 1921. Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States shall be discharged from such service within sixty days after the passage of this act. Section 3. That no member of the Negro race shall be admitted to, either the Military Academy or the Naval Academy of the United States. HARVARD HELP TO SCHOOLS. Washington Club Appoints Committee to Co-operate in Upbuilding. Clarence Wilson, president of the Washington Harvard club, has appointed a committee composed of Harvard men which will co-operate with similar committees of other civic organizations and the authorities for the upbuilding of the District public schools. The members of the committee are Prof. Henry Grattan Doyle (chairman), Dr. Frederic R, Farrington and Stanwood Cobb. Among the colored American composers who are making good may be listed Shelton Brooks, William H. Tyers, Harry Burleigh, Turner Layton and Charles Johnson. **** The many friends of W. Calvin Chase, Jr., are pleased at his active interest in the Greater Odd Fellows' Band of this city. As associate conductor, he is filling the role admirably. This big band has many wonderful plans which it shall put before the public this summer. **** The thirtieth annual election of the Amphion Glee Club of this city, reputed to be the oldest organization of its kind, was held recently at the Y. M. C. A, and the following were selected for the ensuing year: J. H. Washington, president; J. G. Chapman, vice-president; S. Wesley Waters, secretary; Leon J. Leonard, librarian; Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director-manager. Mr. Lewis has served consecutively since the date of organization and is well and favorably known in musical circles. "Music for everybody; everybody for music," is the saying and action of every citizen in this city during the weeks that are to be devoted to music. All schools, colleges, government departments, the commercial houses, churches, clubs, fraternal orders, musical organizations and private teachers of music are being organized for participation in the music week celebration. In the words of President Harding, "we cannot have too much music; we need it, the world needs it; probably more than ever." To the young, old, sick and obscure, music week will carry that far-reaching influence that makes them feel remembered in the thoughtless whirl of the busy world. The music week committee includes Prof. John R. Hawkins, Roscoe C. Bruce, Mrs. Coralie F. Cooke, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Fountain Peyton, Dr. William L. Board, Mr. John C. Nalle, Dr. W. S. Montgomery, John C. Bruce, Miss Marion Shadd, Mrs. Daisy B. Glenn, Josephine Wormley, Mary L. Europe, Lea Johnson, Ernest Amos, Mrs. Joseph Douglass, Henry Grant, J. Carlton Dorsey, Prof. J. Henry Lewis, Mr. Russell Wooding, W. Scott Mayo Mrs. Roy Tibbs, Lula V. Childres Dr. George Haynes, Lieut. J. Wm Flipper, Walter T. Dixon and Perry Howard. Remember, this is something that everyone is expected to take part in and enjoy in every way that is possible. An oratorio, "The Holy City," by Gaul, was rendered by the Junior Choir of fifty voices of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church last Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The church was crowded to hear the young folks, who are progressing rapidly under the direction of Mr. Ernest R. Amos. A few remarks were made concerning the Junior Choir by the pastor of the church, Rev. W. H. Brooks, and the president of the choir, Mr. W. A. Jackson. The Glee Club of Howard University is not only one that the school should be very proud of, but one that every colored American in this country should always have a word of praise. The music critics made the statement that they were the best colored American male club in existence. The Glee Club has made a profound impression wherever it has given concerts. At Hampton the recital was said to have been the best ever given in Ogden Hall. In many of our universities music is at last finding ready champions. The educators are no longer frowning upon it as a subject of doubtful academic value. A great deal of the absurd prejudice against music in our universities has been due to incompetent musicians offering impractical plans. Now our whole education system is being invaded by music educators of the progressive type, who are making the educative scheme incomplete without music. It is earnestly hoped that the faculty of Howard University will appreciate the many hours devoted to music study which the Glee Club men give to maintain the high, standard they set for them selves and will see fit to give credit for this wonderful work. The students of the Junior High School are doing wonderful work in the line of music and the Glee Club, not long started, shows splendid progress. **** The anniversary service of the Virginia Tabernacle, No. 31; G. U. O. of Fishermen of Galilee, E. and W. H., was held at the Florida Avenue Bap- tist Church Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. The music for this occasion was rendered by the choir Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Mrs. C. A. James, president, and Mrs. Irma Hayes, organist. George W. Turner was master of ceremonies. *** The reorganization of the Odd Fellows' Band has proven very effective. Mr. Elzie S. Hoffman has again assumed leadership and is obtaining results. The band at present consists of about thirty-five pieces, and its membership includes some of the leading musicians in the city. It will be remembered what a reputation this band made in New York during the last B. M. C. *** The Men's Club of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church was greatly pleased with the artistic finish of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," rendered by Miss Lucy Moten. Her interpretation showed exquisite taste and the club hopes to hear Miss Moten again at an early date. DUNBAR ATHLETES BEST. Dunbar, scoring fifty-seven points, won the high school championship at the track and field games held by the athletic league of the colored public schools of Howard University campus yesterday.

In Broad Jump For Harvard-Yale Meets—Won the 100-Yard Dash. 2nd in the 220 Yards. (Boston Post Account.) New Haven, May 14, 1921.Yale had hard work to beat Harvard in the dual meet doing it by 621-3 and 52 2-3. In spite of the fact that the delay in starting the broad jump forced Gourdin to enter the '220-yard dash final between jumps, the Cambridge favorite won the century sprint in 102-5 seconds, got second in the furlong, and copped the blue ribbon in the broad jump with a new Harvard and dual track meet record of 24 feet, 4 inches, just one-half inch behind the intercollegiate mark made by Alvah Kranzlein of Pennsylvania way back in 1899. Gourdin was the outstanding star of the meet with a total score of 13 points. He skipped from one event to the other with a willingness that was admirable, never once complaining. The Harvard coach was unable to enter him in the shot put, although he has been doing over 41 feet, because he wanted to save him for the sprints, which were being run off. In the first heat of the 220, Gourdin led Feldman by a yard, but in the final, the latter raced all the distance in the van, and managed to beat the Crimson hope by a foot in 222-5 seconds. This was just after Gourdin had made his record leap, for he went directly from the jumping pit to the start of the furlong. This is the 4th gold medal he has won this year by breaking records for Harvard. SHELBURNE WINS SHOT. For Dartmouth Against Technology—Gets 2nd in 100 Yards and 3rd in 220 Yards. Boston, Mass., May 14, 1921.—In the dual meet between Dartmouth College and the Institute of Technology today, the latter won 59 to 58, and a colored runner, J A. Shelburne, was depended upon to turn the result for Dartmouth, but his exertions in winning the shot put, and running in trial and final beats in 100 yards, and a trial heat in the 220 told in the final of the 220 which was the last event. He won shot-put with 42 ft. 5 in., was 2nd in the 100 yards and 3rd in the 220 yards. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Nothwithstanding the boast of the athletes from the various schools that sent representatives to the Second Annual Track Meet held Saturday, May 14, on the Howard University campus, that they would win over the Howard relay team that recently won a national collegiate championship one-mile relay at the Penn relay games, Howard not only held her own in the intercollegiate one-mile relay, but registered 89 points in the meet, outscoring all opponents, including Lincoln, Hampton, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, and Morgan College, having as her nearest rival Lincoln who secured 40 points. One of the most interesting events of the meet was Intercollegiate One-Mile relay in which the Lincoln Relay Team composed of Webb, Branch, Carr and Hallstalk, and the Howard Relay Team composed of Perry, Craft, Contee and Robinson, were entered, both of which teams won similar events at the Penn Relay Games. It had been thought by many that the Howard Relay Team would find it difficult to win over the Lincoln Relay Team but the outcome of the event showed that Perry, Craft, Contee and Robinson were quite equal to the occasion and easily took the event from Lincoln. In the Intercollegiate 100-yard dash, Branch, of Lincoln, showed good speed, making it in 101-5, closely followed by Rozier, of Howard, who was barely nosed out by Branch. In the special 100-yard dash, Thompson, of Morgan College, outdistance Joe Rainey, star spinner of Derrick Business College, of Philadelphia. Another interesting event was the intercollegiate 11-2 mile heel and toe which was won by Minyard, of Howard, in 4:35 2-5. In the field events, the javelin throw of Kent, of Howard, proved a feature. The pole vaulting of G. L. Johnson, for Howard and Redmond, of Lincoln, ended in a tie at 9 feet 3 inches, and the toss of the coin gave the first place to Johnson. Of the schoolastic combinations at the meet, Dunbar High School registered 29 points against 16 for Bordentown Manual Training School, her nearest rival. The meet proved to be the most successful ever staged under the auspices of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and all the events were well managed. The possibilities for greater success in track events was evidenced by the interest and esthusiasm exhibited by the entraits and by the large number of persons in attendance. A colorful picture was presented in the beautiful spring afternoon with hundreds of partisans of the various schools on the side lines urging their favorites on to victory. Summaries: Intercollegiate 100-yard dash—Won by Branch (Lincoln); second, Rozier (Howard); third, Trigg (Lincoln). Time 0:10 1-5 seconds. Interscholastic 100-yard dash—Won by Watson (Bordentown); McKnight (Dunbar); third, Fletcher (Booker T. Washington H. S.). Time 0:10 4-5.

MOTHERS' CIVIC PROTECTIVE UNION TO MEET. The Mothers' Civic Protective Union will hold its regular monthly meeting at 1523 Corcoran street northwest, June 1st, at 8 p.m. This union was organized some time ago at the residence of Mrs. Alexander, Q street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The following officers were elected: Mrs. E. C. Thornton, president; Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, vice-president; Mrs. Amor, secretary; Mrs. Alexander, treasurer. The object of the union is to counsel and help mothers and throw its united strength with those who endeavor (to) Christianize, the social order—its thought, its conscience, its activities, its relations and its spirit. This organization gives much attention to child welfare. We realize that there are many children "with comfortable homes, well-to-do, intelligent parents and the privilege of the Sunday and public schools, but there are children, in every community who must be looked after and who present special problems in social service. There are the neglected and ill-treated, the improperly fed, the orphaned, the illegitimate, the foundling, the diseased, the defective and the delinquent." Any mother is eligible to membership. Come and join us and help us to eliminate the causes that produce such children. Our work is reformatory, preventive and constructive. The subject to be discussed at the meeting Wednesday, June 1st, is the "Responsibility of Parents." Mrs. Mills, president of the District Mothers' Congress, will address the union on Wednesday, June 1st, at 8 p. m., at the residence of Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, president of the W. C. T. U., Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. You are cordially invited to be present. MOTHER'S DAY. Mother's Day was commemorated at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church on May 8th, under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, president. There were two programs, one in the afternoon by the young people, Miss Kittie Bruce, presiding. Miss Elizabeth Bampfield, of South Carolina, presented an excellent paper in honor of mothers, which was followed by recitations by Miss Mamie Hart, Ada E. Williams, interspersed with music by the little girls of the Christian Endeavor choir, followed by a solo by Mr. Owens. Mrs. Edna C. Bushee is executive secretary of the Juvenile Protective Association, and was the principal speaker. The program on May 8, at 8 p. m., in honor of mothers, was of a very high literary and musical character. The speakers were Mrs. Catlett, attendance officer in the public schools; Mrs. Mina C.

WHAT A REFERENDUM MEANS IN VOTELESS WASHINGTON. There are times when even voteless Washington feels of a votable age and voices her approval of a measure or measures. She desires to see put through what affects her citizens. Granting that we must be satisfied with this manner of voting (for the present), should a different interpretation be placed upon our form of voting than would be placed upon a result in a State election? We do admit, however, that taking a referendum in Washington is a rare thing, but "old things have passed away, behold all things are new." The Bee has just learned of a referendum recently taken in Washington and approves it. The Bee notes the following excerpt from the Sage of the Potomac in last week's issue. This editorial was left out of the last issue by our compositor. "But home folks who have lived a sort of Puritan lives have to take seats way back, and get the marble heart." The Bee notes that to the Puritan lives in the District of Columbia are added Puritan lives which come from other cities. These lives combine and form the Gibraltar of the real social life of the District of Columbia which can never be invaded by the social lights spoken of by the Sage. Such characters are never allowed to enter the citadel of these Puritan homes. IT IS HARDLY CONCEIVABLE IN THIS BRILLIANT ERA At the dawn of this brilliant era of the world's history, it is scarcely conceivable that any lawmaker could have his vision so enmeshed in the cobwebs of prejudice as to make even the feeblest effort to have such a bill as that which was introduced in the Senate of the United States by Mr. Caraway become a law. If the vision of any such individual is so be dimmed by prejudice that he has been unable to acquaint himself with the splendid record of the colored soldiers in all of the wars of this country, The Bee thinks him disqualified to properly discharge the duties of the high office which he holds. On the other hand, if he knows it and persists in his effort to rob the faithful, loyal colored soldier of his right to serve his country in time of peace as well as in war, he is in no position to administer all that is highest and best for the good of his country and humanity at large. He is not qualified to grapple with the great big problems which the new age of necessity impose upon the lawmakers. The Bee suggests for the enlightment of Mr. Caraway, that he read the high record of the colored soldiers in another column of this paper. With regard to the bill on inter-marriage which has been introduced by Mr. Caraway, we would suggest that The Bee thinks that the only way this bill can be made effective if passed is by reversing the laws of nature.

Now as in the past it has the courage of its convictions—and fears not to express it. Whatever inroads are made by the Grand Old Party in the Southland they must be made with a minimum amount of friction. The country has confidence in the administration, although it may not understand now the motive for all it does. Have faith! Be of good cheer! In Christ's time the people inquired—"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Now they ask can any good come out of the Southland? The Bee reply, yes. There are some good people there who are rising above the hated Bourbon enviorment. They are extending their hands to their Northern brother's saying: "Come over and help us crush out lawlessness of all kinds from our land." One of the greatest exponents of this advanced thought is Governor Dorsey of Georgia. Another is J. C. Manning, of Alabama. The Bee thinks that the Salvation Army proved its worth to our people on the battlefields of the Orient. Therefore, our people should never hesitate to help the Salvation Army. COLORED CITIZEN SHOT BY COL J. E. SHELLEY On Monday, May 16th, Col. J. E. Shelley shot and probably fatally wounded Richard Christmas at the Army quartermaster stables, 19th street and Virginia avenue. a Federal reservation. After the shooting, Col. Shelley replaced the revolver in his pocket, got in his automobile and drove to the Army remount station at the south end of the Highway bridge. There he conducted his duties and was arrested upon his return to the city. The Washington Times gives the following account of the affair. The shooting was done with a .25 caliber automatic. One shot was fired. The bullet lodged in the groom's abdomen. Christmas was rushed to the Emergency Hospital, where surgeons stated that he has only a few hours to live. Watchman Saw Shooting. James A. MacCewen, a watchman employed at the State, War and Navy Building, opposite the stables, told a Times reporter that he witnessed the shooting from a distance of fifty feet. His statment follows: "I was standing in front of the building mhen an automobile drove up and an army officer alighted at the curb in front of the stable. He was immediately accosted by a colored man, who said something to him in an excited manner. "The officer replied," says MacCewen, "by striking the colored man a stinging blow across the face with a riding crop which he carried. The colored man, then wrested the crop from the officer and retaliated by striking the owner of the crop in the face." "The men then came to grips. The colonel reached back into his pocket, whipped out a revolver, and shot the groom in the abdomen." Colonel Is Calm. The colonel is attached to the mount station here and makes his home at the Army and Navy Club. Colonel Shelley's statement of the shooting, which he gave at Police Headquarters, where he was taken by detectives, was given in a perfectly cool and collected manner. "This colored man was at the horse show yesterday," said the officer. "I saw him literally riding one of the army mounts to death, cutting capers out on the field. I shouted to some of the men to stop him, and called him to me. "What do you mean by riding that horse so heartlessly?" I asked him. "Have you permission to ride him?" The colonel says that the colored man struck at him, with an oath, when he heard the question. The officer says that he retaliated by striking the colored man two swift blows in the face, whereupon the groom jumped upon his horse again, riding away and shouting back: "Wait until I get over on the District line, and I'll fix you, you —" Told of Trouble. In the morning when he prepared to go down to the stables, Colonel Shelley told police, he was told that the colored man would be there waiting to make trouble, so he slipped the small caliber automatic in his uniform pocket to be ready for an emergency. On arriving at the stables, he stated, the colored man came forward, asking him roughly what he meant by striking him in Virginia on Snuday. "Haven't you had enough," the colonel says he asked him. The colored man then seized the riding crop the colonel had in his hand and struck the officer across the face. "Then he twisted the crop from my grasp and attacked me with the loaded end, which makes a simple riding crop into a dangerous weapon. I realized then the danger, drew my automatic and shot him," the colonel coolly said. West To Station House. The colonel went to the police station voluntarily, in the company of Brigadier General A. E. Williams. Detective Sergeant John P. Flaherty met the party on the Highway bridge. The officer and his superior were coming from the horse show grounds, where Colonel Shelley drove following the shooting. He alighted from his own auto and went to the station with the detective. It was shown at police headquarters that the fight occurred on a military reservation, and the officer was released in the custody of General Williams, to be kept under the jurisdiction of the army authorities. On the operating table at Emergency Hospital, when told by Drs. R. G. Beachley and Paul S. Putski that he was going to die, Christmas made the following statement: "At the horse show grounds Saturday, while exercising the horse under my care, Colonel Shelley asked me if I had a right to gallop the horse. I told him that I had. He then told me to find out at the horse show headquarters if I had such a right. "He cursed me for a few minutes and struck me with his riding whip. I did not raise my hand to him. "This morning Colonel Shelley came to the White House garage, where I am employed, and I asked him for permission to speak to him. He denied me this permission, at the same time cursing me and saying nasty things about my race. Again I told him that I would like to talk to him and he struck he with his whip. Tells of Shooting. "I grabbed the whip and took it away from him. Then the colonel pulled a gun and shot me in the stomach. We clenched, and he attempted to fire again, but the revolver failed to discharge. "I sat down on the floor of the garage and Colonel Shelley said: 'It's a lucky thing for you that the revolver did not go off the second time.'" According to employees of the stable, Christmas; the groom; was severely beaten up by Colonel Shelley at the horse show grounds yesterday. Christmas told employees at the stable that he did not know why the army officer assaulted him yesterday, and announced his intention of asking Colonel Shelley this morning as to why he was attacked. Colonel Shelley is the son 'of the late Representative Shelley, of Alabama, who was a Confederate-general in the Civil War, and later served in the Spanish-American war.

Last Tuesday at 8 p. m., Mrs. Bettie G. Francis addressed those assembled for the book lover's hour on the subject of "Social Leaders." Quite a large number were present and enjoyed the subject discussed. The Dramatic Club, one of the groups under Miss H. E. King, the industrial secretary, rendered on Wednesday night in the gymnasium Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." The group of young ladies who live in the building were having at the same time on our lawn a very pretty lawn fete. They took great pleasure in showing visitors who had not seen through our lovely building all through it. Mrs. Martha A. McAdoo, our wideawake general secretary is winning her way into the hearts of the people of this city. Last, Sunday at the Lincoln Temple Church she spoke to a large audience on the occasion of a meeting of-the missionary society of that church. That more than 600 Girl Reserves are planning to put over quite an interesting program during the next two weeks under the energetic secretary, Miss Florence Brooks. Last Friday night in the gymnasium they rendered a most amusing skit termed "Slabtown Convention." On June 4th one of the groups will hold a unique lawn fete at the 201 T street northwest. Everyone is invited to join in with the girls for a happy afternoon and evening. Every mother, daughter and sister in this city is cordially invited to come and enjoy with us the many pleasures to be found at our new home, 901 Rhode Island avenue. The gymnasium is open every day to the school girls. On Thursday at 2 p. m. we have a sewing class for the mothers. At the Book Lovers' Hour on Tuesday night (May 31st), at 8 p. m., Mrs. Emma Lee Williams will talk on "Contemporary Poetry of the Negro." Next week being music week, on Wednesday night, June 1, at 8 p. m., the Treble Cleff Club will give a musical program in the gymnasium of the Y. W. C. A. The Girl Reserve Orchestra will give a recital on Monday at 4 p. m. This entire week has been given to the memory of Miss Grace Dodge, late president of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association. Miss Dodge was a pioneer thinker who saw things both as they are and as they should be. She was free from prejudices, and was creative, open to new ideas and ahead of the times. Such a friend cannot die. Her manifold interest in womanhood will keep her memory in their hearts. On Monday a very fine affair was the luncheon given in the cafeteria by the Minister's Alliance in honor of Rev. A. C. Garner, who is soon to leave the city. It was a very happy gathering. The ministers were loud in their expression of praise, and a unanimous resolution was passed endorsing the Phyllis Wheatley Y. M. C. A. Among those present were: Rev. A. C. Garner, Rev. C. M. Tanner, Rev. J. S.-Carroll, Rev. J. E. Mitchell, Rev. D. D. Turpeau, Rev. D. E. Wiseman, Rev. Bean, Rev. E. W. Williams, Rev. Jones and Rev. Nicholas. Howard Theatre 7th and T Sts., N. W. Andrew J.
