Against OPPOSES RACE-PREJUDICE AND RACE-HATRED. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D. D., president. The National Gospel Workers Aid Society, and pastor, the Shiloh Church ("Strangers' Home") of Washington, D. C., appeared before the executive session of the board of trustees of the International C. E. Convention, now meeting in this city, and presented a memorial by request of numerous societies holding membership in that body, against the sins of race prejudice and race hatred, which prevail to an alarming extent among all sects of Christians in this country. To a reporter of this paper Dr. Waldron said: "I am not at liberty to state what took place in the executive session of the board, but as one who has been charged with the special duty of helping to arouse the followers of Jesus Christ everywhere in America against the enormity and viciousness of race prejudice and race hatred, I may be permitted to say that there are no sins among professing Christians in this country today that are more popular and more damning in their effects upon those, both in the churches and out, than these twin children of the devil, race prejudice and race hatred. "Most ministers and church leaders are not only possessed of these evil spirits, but they themselves are unwilling to regard them as sins, while others condone these evils and object to anyone 'speaking out in meetin' about them." "Why man, the Word of God is full of instances and commands against race prejudice and race hatred; one of the earliest examples in the Bible of God's displeasure at this sin is recorded in Numbers, chapter 12, wherein God smote Miriam, the sister of Moses, with leprosy because she murmured against Moses for having married an Ethiopian woman, that is a black woman. "Jesus Christ Himself would not be received into many churches in this country if He came to them in the flesh, for He was a man of mixed blood—at least two of his human ancestors were descended from Ham of whom have sprang most of the black and darker races of the world, and the Saviour whom the Christians of America profess to believe in and to worship taught His followers in the Gospel of Matthew: 'One is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren'—but this command does not go when most white Christians begin to have any kind of dealings with colored or black Christians in this Christian (?) country. "James, one of the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ when brought face to face with race prejudice did not sidestep the issue, but said in chapter two: "My brethren have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory, with respect to persons." "If ye fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well;" "But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors." "If these injunctions of Christ and His apostles were honestly taught and faithfully followed, the Christian churches everywhere would break the bonds that bind them to Satan, self and sin and would line up on the side of the Prince of Peace, and do much to stem the mighty tide of lawlessness, revolution, greed and bloodshed that is fast sweeping church and nation on to death and destruction" COLORED REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT AT FEDERAL EFFICENCY MEETING. Dr. Scott and Dr. Warfield Represent Howard University, Freedmen's Hospital. The most notable conference in Washintgon in a generation was the unique, mass meeting held in the auditorium of the Interior Department Building at two o'clock, Wednesday, June 26, at which time President Warren G. Harding, Vice President Calvin Coolidge, Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of War John W. Weeks, Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby, Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace. Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, Postmaster General Will H. Hays, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt. General John J. Pershing and his military aide, and six hundred chiefs of bureaus were present. President Harding, smiling, but obviously warm despite his palm beach suit, opened the meeting with a short address. "Fellow workers," said the President, "I do not know that there has ever been a meeting like this, certainly none to my knowledge. I am very glad to come before you and stand sponsor for this meeting: The present administration of the Federal Government is committed to a period of economy and efficiency in government. The statement is not made with any thought of criticising the administrations that have gone before. It is made in a new realization of the necessity of driving out the loose, unscientific expenditures of government. There is not a menace in the world today like that of growing public indebtedness and mounting public expenditures. There has seemingly grown up an impression that public treasuries are inexhaustible things and a conviction that no efficiency and economy are ever thought of in public expenses. We want to reverse this. Congress, in order to change the policy, has provided for the first time in the history of the Federal Govern- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921 Race Hate ment for a bureau of the budget." The meeting was called by the President for the purpose of bringing about a period of economy and efficiency in government and was a huge success. The Freedmen's Hospital and Howard University, both of which are under the Interior Department, were represented at the conference by Dr. William A. Warfield, the well-known surgeon in chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the secretary-treasurer of the Howard University. THREE GREAT REVIVAL MEET INGS CLOSE. Dr. Willbanks, the world evangelist, and wife have returned, much elated over the great success attending these meetings. They were held in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Cleveland, Ohio, and Colonial Beach, Va. The Pittsburgh meeting was conducted at the Monumental Baptist Church, Rev. E. W. Starks, pastor. The evangelist gave ten days' service free of charge, and cleared this church of debt, and left the people overjoyed, as it was thought that it would never be paid for for. The farewell meeting was held at Dr. Austin's Church. Two thousand people were present and a crowd of prominent patrons, who came to hear the great sermon on the sinking of the Titanic, the crown empress of the high seas. The Cleveland meeting was conducted in the big Tabernacle, Zion Hill Baptist Church, formerly a Jewish Tabernacle, Rev. C. C. Ailer, pastor. Six hundred joined the various churches in ten nights through the preaching of Dr. Willbanks. He was also made the order of the day, and addressed the Ministers' Conference, and was given a big reception by the pastors of the city. Cleveland was stirred as never before. The third meeting was conducted at Colonial Beach, Va., at the New Monrove Baptist Church, Rev. J. W. Pierson, pastor. People came from twenty-five miles around. The evangelist and his wife were so impressed with the hospitality of the people at the beach that they bought a beautiful lot for a summer home. The evangelist and his wife are at home resting from the great fight, and is preaching at his own church. He will be in his pulpit Sunday at 3 o'clock communion. All welcome. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE IN TERSTATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION. Editor, Washington Bee: The annual meeting of the Interstate Dental Association was held at Buckroe Beach, Va., July 5, 6, 7, and 8, 1921. This association comprises the states of Alabama, Delaware, Florida, District of Columbia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and New Jersey. The convention was called to order at 10 a. m., Tuesday, July 5, by its president, Dr. Stephen J. Lewis of Harrisburg, Pa. Prayer was offered by Rev. McDuffy. Mr. Rencliff, mayor of Hampton, delivered the introductory address, which was responded to by Dr. J. T. Lattimore of Hampton, Va. Both the welcome and responsive addresses, were delivered with much sincerity. Minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. Condolent and sympathetic telegrams were sent to Dr. Gwathney and Dr. C. S. Wormley of Washington, D. C. The credential committee favorably reported on Drs. A. Russell, Weisamap, Boston and E. G. Evans. All were elected to membership and then made short addresses. The afternoon session was called to order at 3 p. m. by the vice president, Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey. The credential committee, reported favorably also on Dr. W. L. Harris of Fredericksburg, Va., and C. S. Boyd of Knoxville, Tenn. The chairman presented Dr. Stephen J. Lewis, the president, to read his annual address which was brimful of food for thought and future plans for the advancement of ethical dentistry. He advocated making the associatoin bigger, better and more useful. He recommended three lecture courses, two of which to be for undergraduates and the other for research work. That the several states, members of the association, be divided into units or groups for the specific purpose of doing research work along the line of the subject assigned that group—most of his recommendations were adopted. The following committees were appited: On nomination, Dr. C. S. Allen, chairman; on resolution, Dr. A. S. Hunter, chairman; on obituary, Dr. Q. B. King, chairman; on program, Dr. I. M. Lawrence, chairman. "General anesthesia vs. local anesthesia," by Dr. J. W. Ford, of New Jersey, elicited quite a discussion pro and con, Dr. T. W. Edwards of Washington, D. C., opening the discussion. It was finally decided to "let nature take its course" in the matter. Those prepared and wanted to could use either or neither. "Root canal treatment," by Dr. A. S. Hunter of North Carolina, came in for its share of strict attention and logical discussion. On the second day, the meeting was called to order by its president. Records of the previous meetings were adopted. Telegraph greetings were read from several members who were unable to be present. Dr. A. C. Elgin of the University of Pennsylvania, read an able paper on movable crown and bridge work. The speaker was introduced by Dr. I. M. Lawrence of Philadelphia. The speaker took up and traced several systems of movable crown and bridge work demonstrating its superior resultant over others. Dr. A. O. Reid of Baltimore, gave the association a good paper on DeTrey's Synthetic Porcelain. "Impression and Plate Work," by Dr. W. B. Reed of Nashville, Tenn., was also a lively subject, which held the floor of the convention. On the third day the executive committee board presented its findings of the year's work and made several recommendations which were carefully considered. Dr. N. T. Ballou, director of mouth hygiene of Virginia, was introduced to the association and read a paper which was highly complimented, but also called forth a heated discussion. It had to do with the health of children whose mouths are often the seat and closet of focal infection. This paper was earnestly discussed by Drs. Furgerson, Wheatly, Lassiter, Lattimore, Evans, and R. A. Brown, and a rising vote of thanks was given the speaker or reader of the paper. "Dental Operations During Pregnancy," by Dr. W. A. Drake, was another of the several papers which brought forth long discussions. The prevailing opinion was that the danger in most such cases arose more from the "rut" of those who are satisfied in having the title only rather than push on and improve themselves, in the profession. Anything is hard and dangerous if you don't understand it, and how are you to understand it if you sit tight on the stool of "I used to be?" "Diet and Its Effects on the Development of the Teeth," by W. B. Jones of Springfield, Mass. This also was an able paper and caused quite a discussion by the visiting physicians as well as by the best minds of the membership. Dr. Jones has taken a special course at Harvard University and has done much research work along dental lines. Friday, the last day of the session, was one of crowded events. Meeting called to order at 10 a.m. Minutes adopted. Secretary treasurer reports received and referred to the auditing committee. Committees on grievances, research work, equipment, oral hygiene, time and place reported. The "unit" system having been adopted two days before the following, with their chairman and the subject for each, were as follows: Unit No. 1—Maryland, District of Columbia, North Carolina, Massachusetts. "Operative Dentistry" the subject for research work of this group. Dr. Thomas W. Edwards of Washington, D. C., chairman. Unit No. 2—Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky; "Prosthetic Dentistry" the subject for this group. Dr. I. W. Lawrence of Philadelphia, chairman. Unit No. 3—West Virginia, New Jersey and Virginia. "Dental Surgery and Special Work" the subject for this group. Dr. E. D. Downing of Roanoke, Va., chairman. The duty of these units is to study and work out the most improved methods known to the present-day dentistry and bring their findings, in well written form, to our next annual meeting. Dr. G. C. Strong of Norfolk, Va., came before the meeting in the interest of the Interstate Business Cooperation which has made rapid strides. He and his able secretary spoke at length showing the material advancement made and dividends accrued therefrom. Mr. Harmon and Mr. Banks of the Bay Shore Hotel, where the morning was held, were invited to speak to the association, assuring us of their treasure. If having us as their guests and hoping for better and greater things in the future. Annual election—President, Dr. Stephen J. Lewis of Harrisburg, Pa., reelected; vice president, Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey of Richmond, Va., reelected; secretary, Dr. W. H. Wallace of Salisbury, N. C., reelected; assistant secretary, Dr. S. F. Coppage of Norfolk, Va; treasurer, Dr. A. O. Reid of Baltimore, Md., reelected. The next annual meeting will be held at Buckroe Beach, Va., July 11, 12, 13, and 14, 1922. (Dr.) Elias G. Evans.

Chase, died suddenly at her home, 822 13th Street Northeast, on last Monday morning from the effects of the severe heat wave which now envelopes the country. The deceased was one of the best known and highly respected citizens of the Northeast. Her late husband, the late Daniel T. Chase, was a prominent musician in his day. Few were the homes into which this noted minstrel did not carry his sweet strains. Mrs. Chase was the mother of the late Hattie E. and the late William H. Chase, Mrs. Clara T. Chase Knox, Maria A. Chase, Chrilles A. T. Chase and George McC. Chase. Funeral was from Calvary Episcopal Church. 11th and G Streets Northeast, Saturday, July 9, at 1 o'clock. Sermon "THE MAN CHRIST JESUS" (No. 1019-A) Chorus of 600 voices "HALLELUJAH, -WHAT A SAVIOR" (No. 1013-A) A religious service in the home with these two remarkable RECORDS—and others. ADAMS MUSIC HOUSE, 1911 9th St. N. W. Miss Ollie Price, Mrs. Elliot's younger sister, who since her school days had led the life of a social climber and almost that of an adventurer in the East, had at last become engaged to some French sportsman, and was now back at her sister's home in Arkansas to prepare for the wedding. She needed a maid; she must have a maid. That was what everybody had in New York and Washington. Mrs. Elliot told her that on all the Elliot plantations there was but one person qualified for the position—Aunt Katy's daughter Essie. Then she related to her sister all the circumstances connected with Essie's banishment to the cabin. Miss Price, who had experienced some liberalizing contact with the outside world, replied that it was "too bad," and even referred to Essie as "the poor thing." But then she must have a suitable maid. Essie was accordingly recalled from her exile to serve again at the Big House. Expedience is master of many of our emotions and the author of many of our decisions. Curiosity led "Miss & Ollie" to seek an opportunity to see Essie's baby. One day while Essie was arranging her new mistress's hair, Miss Price was contemplating the face and figure of the beautiful mulatto in her mirror. And perhaps tenderness was vying with curiosity when she said: "It must be hard to leave your baby so long. Bring him with you to-morrow, and I think—you will work better." "But, Miss Ollie, Mis' Elliot—— "Oh, that's all right," anticipated Miss Price, "it'll be all right in my rooms." And then with a tone of command: "Bring him-to-morrow." The next day Miss Price was surprised almost into speechlessness by the closeness of resemblance between this child and her owl little nephew. She was agitated. By a strange fascination we often seek after what will comfort us. "What is his name?" she asked Essie, as the little fellow traced with his finger in the wall paper opposite her. "We call him Jim," said Essie blushing uncomfortably. "Jimi!" called Miss Price, as if to test the matter or to destroy a possible illusion. The little fellow shrank at the strange voice, turned timidly and moved around in the direction of its mother. Her own nephew would run to her at the slightest invitation. The sure instincts of the mother caught the meaning of all this curious interest. She was pensive and pale and silent as she worked all that morning, and little Jim also gave the strange lady a wide berth when he moved about the room, as if sympathetic with his mother's spirit. When she went away at noon she did not bring him back, and she remarked that he was right out in the kitchen with "Aunt Katy," as she called her own mother, where she could see him when necessary. It did not escape her notice that Miss Price now made no protest against his absence, and never asked to see him and never even mentioned the child again. It is hard to be consistent in a false attitude. Miss Price talked much about this child, however, to her sister, Mrs. Elliot. "Suppose something should happen! How could you make sure? Only their clothes make it possible to tell one from the other." "Nonsense!" retorted the proud white'mother, "because you have been staying in the North, you forget the difference between a white person and a n-ger. If the nails or the hair of the neck don't tell, the very spirit will tell! Why, if they were tost till they were grown, you could tell the white man and the n-ger when you found them." But Miss Price was none the less skeptic. She disclosed to her sister that she had learned from a sailor associate in the east the art of tattooing, and shocked that lady's honor and offended her pride of race by proposing to taatoo little nephew William as a distinguishing mark. As proof of her skill she showed on her left arm a small tattoo, which she herself had done. The haughty wife and proud mother rejected this proposal with an air that was truly impressive of her faith in racial superiority and "blood." But that one sight of little Jim had stuck like poison in Miss-Price's soul. She could be seen often brooding and gazing into the faraway when playing with newphew William. She was trying to prevail upon her sister to permit her to take the child to France after the wedding. Meanwhile, Mrs. Elliot and her husband were summoned to the bedside of her brother, the natural father of Essie, who was dying in Atlanta. Miss Price readily consented to assume responsibility for the household and the care of her little nephew. The Elliots were gone for several weeks, what with funeral arrangements and looking after the brother's estate. If Mrs. Elliot had ever bathed and dressed her own baby instead of leaving it entirely to the servants, she might have noticed, when she returned from Atlanta, a mark under its arm up near the body. This mark was irregular in shape but might have passed for an M or a W, according to the way one looked at it. But her sublime confidence in herself and her kind, prevented her from noticing the mark. The servants, who had been glad to have "Miss Ollie" to relieve them of all service to little "Willyum" for several weeks, saw nothing and cared not. The wedding of Miss Ollie Price came to pass. The Elliots were persuaded to take the trip to France with the bride and groom. It was arranged to take Essie along as maid to the whole party. She would return with the Elliots, who would stay about three months. Mrs. Elliot had consented to go only after her sister in New Orleans had agreed to come and be the head of the place in their absence and take care of their child. Essie had been reconciled to going only after it was agreed that her own mother, Aunt Katy, should have entire care of "Jimmie." The Elliots, also, had every confidence in Aunt Katy, but then it "would look better to have some white person in charge here." This is the religion in South Aunt Katy would be the real head and the chief reliance but the New Orleans sister would be the nominal head. This sister could not come, however, until some time after the wedding party had left, and before the Elliots and Duprees set sail from New York, they received the anxiously awaited news of her arrival. She reported that all was well at the Big House and that Aunt Katy had taken excellent care of the interest of the Elliots. She, meaning Aunt Katy, had met the new arrival and brought little William in her arms. He was, she wrote, "the very picture of health, and oh, so fond of Aunt Katy." What had really happened was this: When this strange aunt arrived, the child in Aunt Katy's arms would have nothing to do with her and clung with both its arms tight around the black woman's neck, its check against her cheek. The child seemed frightened when the stranger touched it and showed no disposition to respond to her repeated invitations to "my dearest little nephew William." The chagrined aunt did not relate all this in her letter, for indeed, she felt ashamed to tell in detail of the very cold reception accorded her by the heir to the Elliot estate. Pride deals in half truths and camouflage. She went on to say that she hoped soon to win the entire confidence and affection of the little master of the plaque; although they were strangers for the present and she was allowing him to sleep with Aunt Katy. At this point in the letter, the former Miss Price, who was now Madame Dupree, parted her lips and gasped and was about to make some earnest comment, but subsided when the next line went on to say: "Do not tell Essie that a little accident happened to Jimmie. He was burned the next day after you left. He was not seriously hurt, but the doctor says it will leave a large scar on his leg. "Aunt Katy says it happened in the kitchen. The child pulled a hot stove lid down. Fortunately William was not around, as Aunt Katy had sent him for a ride with the new nurse who came that same day." The letter repeated and emphasized it as a request from Aunt Katy "not to tell Essie about it," and said that the grandmother was much distressed. This last statement seemel to produce a complete calm in Madame Dupree's features, and she slowly remarked: "Aunt Katy would always have that young one hanging to her apron in the kitchen." Then, as if to assure herself: "And did she say that it is the doctor's opinion that the scar on the leg will last for life?" Te Democracy of Babyhood. Little Wimmie and Jimmie were in their second year of life. With their parents far over the sea, and with their guardians, "Aunt Katy and "Auntie," equally as far away, so far as the babies were concerned being in distant parts of the Big House. Jimmie was dressed in home-made ginghams and his feet were bare. An ugly scar of the recent burn could be seen on his otherwise perfect baby leg. William was dressed in blue serge, trimmed in white, with blue and white socks and black pumps. William selected the rag doll, which Aunt Katy had made for Jimmie, seated it on the best chair of his doll furniture set, and was feeding 'M'randa" some "sooogar" out of a silver spoon. Jimmie in the meanwhile had the blue-eyed, linen-clad, frilled-up French doll which Aunt Ollie had given Willam, and was trying to compel this well-dressed foreigner to do menial work. Both boys soon grew tired of playing with the dolls and William rose to his feet, grabbed the coarse bonnet which belonged to Jimmie, and placed it on his head. Jimmie then struggled to his feet and picked up the cream-colored, blue-ribboned sailor hat which belonged to William, and put it on his own head. And now, hand in hand, they turned toward the door and were just about to sally forth to some great baby adventure, when in came William's New Orleans aunt facing them like an angry fairy: "William!" and then she stopped, turned to stone as it were, by the sight she beheld—two little playmates in perfect accord and brotherhood, with not a single thought of difference or caste; William with his linens under. Jimmie's coarse bonnet and Jimmie with his ginghams under William's trim sailor. Infuriated the New Orleans aunt flung the bonnet from William's head and jerked the sailor from the head of Jimmie. And, again, she was turned to stone, when these two heads were disclosed, so striking was the resemblance between them. She looked at the scar on Jimmie's leg and muttered something about "Providence." Both children recoiled before her sorutiny. Her own nephew still preferred Aunt Katy at times, which somewhat annoyed her. The likeness of the two babies had never before impressed her so deeply. In her curiosity she took hold of Jimmie, turned him round and round, looked alternately from him to William, and examined the scar again. She pushed up the wide gingham sleeves of the puzzled little fellow, looking ever and anon toward William. Finally, fixing her eyes for a moment on something under Jimmie's arm, she muttered: "A birth mark, Then leading little William with one hand and carrying his defiled sailor hat in the other, the aunt went out of the dining room toward the parlors, leaving Jimmie as if he were no longer in existence. Through the opposite door which opened upon the old-fashioned passage way leading to the kitchen, two eyes had gazed intently upon all that took place in the room—eyes of white and black and fire. Continued Next Week. (Released Exclusively by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.) A searching attack on the system of debt-slavery in the South today as the cause of lynching and mob violence has just been published in pamphlet form by the American Civil Liberties Union, with headquarters in New York city. The statements and conclusions of the author, William Pickens, field secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are endorsed by the Civil Liberties Union, which declares in an introduction that "in the South today no man, white or black, is really free publicly to speak the truth about the race problem. We believe this pamphlet to be the essential truth. We have consulted Southern white mer and women, who tell us privately that it is the "truth." Roger N. Baldwin, a director of the Union pointed out the economic causes of the recent Tulsa mob violence as just another demonstration of the truth of the general proposition. Among the striking statements made by Mr. Pickens in the pamphlet are these: are these: "Lynching and mob violence are only economic methods of repression. Lynching is most prevalent where colored American labor is most exploited; and the spread of mob violence against colored people has followed the spread of this exploitation. It is either due directly to efforts of the exploiting class to repress the Negro, or it is the indirect resentment of the laborers of other racial groups against the exploitation of Negro labor to his disadvantage. This is the difference between Georgia and East St. Louis. Where Lynchings Occur. "It is instructive to note where most Lynchings take place. In thirty years the seven states which led in Lynching, are in the order of their evil eminence: Georgia, Mississippi." Texas; Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. Along with Alabama, Georgia and Texas, therefore, we have the great Southern Mississippi Valley, a region which might be termed 'the American Congo.' "The quest of this Congo is not for rubber and ivory, but for cotton and sugar. Here labor is forced, and the laborer is a slave. The slavery is a cunningly contrived debt-slavery to give the appearance of civilization and the sanction of law. A debt of a few hundred dollars may tie a black man and his family of ten as securely in bondage to a great white planter as if he had purchased their bodies. "The only way for this debt-slave to get free from such a master is to get some one else to pay this debt; that is, to sell himself to another, with added charges, expenses of moving and bonuses. By this method the enslaver gets his bondsmen cheaper than in a regular slave system, for in the debt system he does not have to pay the full market price of a man. "This is the system that obtains in the great Mississippi Valley, and it has not been modified for thirty years or more. The evil of this system is responsible for all of the massacres of colored people and for nearly all of the horrible lynchings and burnings of individual Negroes that have lately taken place in this region. "If we examine any, even the most complicated, of these 'race' troubles, we will find some economic wrong at the bottom, some trouble about wages or work or property. The existence side by side of two races, one powerful and the other weak, simply lends greater opportunity and freer play to human greed and social injustice. "It is therefore intelligible that when race riots break out, especially in the South, the prosperous and well to do colored men who own business and property, the really most worth while members of their race, are the ones most likely to be forced to leave the community. They may be compelled to abandon all their property post-haste to get away with their lives, and not being allowed to return, they must sell out at a great loss. Sometimes when these colored families are in a position to offer some defiance to the mob, the officers of the law will take a hand, because as the 'law' they can dare more than the mob. A 'committee of prominent citizens,' sometimes including the mayor or the chief of police or the sheriff, will call on the colored man and warn him to leave, either openly espousing the cause of the mob or declaring their inability to restrain the mob. "When a colored family is thus driven out or exterminated prominent mention is always made of their 'prosperity' as an indirect emphasis on their general effectiveness. Rape and Lynching. "One of the most successful illusions in the history of human relations is the opinion that the extraordinary disposition to lynch colored Americans in the United States is due to some extraordinary tendency of the men of that race to commit rape. We call this illusion successful because it is actually believed by many, if not by most, white people. But facts and evidence point in the opposite direction—that Africans and their descendants are exceptionally uninclined to this particular violence. "The appeal has been wonderfully successful. It is an old ruse of the oppressor. He must find a motive that will justify him in the moral sentiments of his people. "But it should be noted that in the United States the most awful slaughter and lynchings of colored persons in the last few weeks have not been occasioned by any matter of sex; the massacre at East St. Louis (Ill.) in 1917; the multiple lynchings of Brooks and Lowndes Counties (Ga.) in 1918; the Chicago riots in 1919; the Elaine (Ark.) massacre in 1912, and the burning of Henry Lowry at Nodena (Ark.) in 1921. Class Rule the Cause. "Most of the lynching evil is traceable to, economic wrong. There is a conviction that the colored American as a class is to be kept under in human society; that when a black man works and sweats, it is not primarily for his own good, but for the good of the dominant race in America. This is class feeling.. It is the offspring of the slave system. If the colored American attempts to rise above this condition, he is sinning against God and must be repressed sternly and religiously. The colored American who by thrift and hard work rises above this preconceived status, becomes an offender like one who is seeking to violate the sanctions of a religion. "There must be a change in this attitude toward colored Americans before we can be free from lynching. Government and law can do much, but they cannot do everything, as a remedy. The notion that God made the colored American for the benefit of anybody else must be wiped out." The Civil Liberties Union states that the reports which come to its office from all over the country show that there is an increasing tendency in southern industrial centers for white workers to make common cause with colored. The Union asserts that "civil rights in the South can be won in fact only by the united efforts of both black and white workers in the struggle against industrial exploitation." JACKASS SPEECH. Ed. Register: Your recent jackass editorial entitled "The 'Jackass Speech,'" is shockingly out of place in a journal whose editors are usually so wise and just, and heretofore always characterized by at least a considerable respect for truth, fact and reason, even when most preposterous. Admiral Sims insists that the cable reports distort his speech; yet, even so, the cable reports in The Register, the only daily I read, have never contained the slightest hint that the doughty admiral made any "fool attack," or any other sort of attack, "upon the Irish race," much less upon "the large, respectable, and patriotic body of people of Irish birth or descent," and least of all upon "the gallant soldiers and high-minded citizens of Irish blood who at all times and in all emergencies have stood by their country and its flag." Neither is there the least intimation in any of these cable reports in The Register of Admiral Sims' using the Sinn Fein Irish "as a standard by which to measure all Irishmen." Admiral Sims' righteous indignation may have betrayed him into indulging in a little unfortunate phraseology; but "men in earnest have no time to waste in patching fig leaves for the naked truth". and they who "make a.man an offender for a word" are apt to be small men more or less in sympathy with offenders in great and serious matters. Admiral Sims' opposing and exposing anti-British, pro-German sympathy in the United States Navy was vastly to his credit, and a signal service to his country and the world. The writer is a mixture of all the races of Northwestern Europe; but more of the blood of the Irish than any other race courses his veins. With all his faults and deficiencies the writer, much in common with the tractable, loyal and law-abiding but impetuous and insuppressible sort of Irish, and sees so much that is so admirable in the Irish race in its real, uncurrupted representatives, that he has himself to guard against decided partiality for the Irish race; but his very appreciation of the real, unperverted Irish character makes him deeply deprecate the disloyal lawless, warring, terrorizing Sinn Fein perversion of Irish character. For real, democratic self-determination the Sinn Fein substitutes an autocratic selfish determination stone blind to the rights of contiguous and related selves, both simple and composite, and equally blind to its own most vital interests. Race antagonism is a prime, principal and most deadly enemy of every sort of peace everywhere. The Register means to be an earnest and efficient champion of peace, both at home and abroad. Yet the Register on the one hand denounces, distorts, and diverts to those for whom it is not intended, a most wholesome criticism of one chief brand of world-menacing race antagonism, while on the other hand suppressing my own recently submitted criticism of another and even more war-fomenting brand of race antagonism. I can see no, reason for your suppression of my letter save the simple reason that it laid conditions bare without tossing any sop to "nigger"-haters. F. S.—Unlimited self-determination is the essence of all anarchy, while limitation of self-determination is the essence of all government. Every government or body politic is a composite political self whose sole object and business primarily is limitation of the self-determination of the subordinate and component political selves composing such composite self; and it is only through such governmental limitation of self-determination that the self-determination of weak persons and peoples can be guarded from absolute suppression. Geographically, economically, logically, politically, providentially and inseparably Ireland is a component of the body politic or civil self called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; and it is only through due democratic limitation of the self-determination of Ireland by the supreme self-determination of the supreme composite civic self whereof Ireland is a natural and inalienable component that Ireland can be saved from an anarchy which would infect the rest of the British Isles, the British Empire, and the whole world, more or less. Liberty is not exemption from all restraint, but only exemption from unnatural, unreasonable and uprighteous restraint. COLORED AMERICAN WINS DASH AND HARVARD MEET. Princeton Loses as Gourdin Takes '220' That Gives Crimson 59-58 Cambridge, Mass.—Harvard won over Princeton on track in the Stadium this afternoon during the last event, and by one point. The final score was 59 to 58. Ned Gourdin, the Crimson's athlete, who had already won the hundred and running broad jump, toed the mark in the 220-yard dash with his team two points in the rear. Stevenson of Princeton, who had already won the 440, was the favorite, and it looked as if Harvard would lose. Gourdin and Stevenson ran about even until half the distance was covered, then the Haryard man spurted and won by half a yard. Chapin of Harvard, followed Princeton across the line. Gourdin's time was 223-5 seconds and this victory brought him a total of 15 points. His mark of 24 feet 6 inches bettered the record made by Kraenzlein of Penn in the 1899 intercollegiate by an inch and a half. After the fourth event Princeton was in the van until the last event was called for. Then came the Harvard rooters' chance to cheer and they made the best of the opportunity. JACK JOHNSON GETS PRO-OFFER. (By Associated Negro Press.) Leavenworth, Kan., July 11.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight pugilistic champion, serving a sentence in the federal prison for alleged violation of the Mann act, and who was released on July 7, has been offered fifty-five thousand dollars to meet Harry Wills at Jersey City August 9, it was declared here recently. Johnson's first public appearance after his release from prison will be at an athletic show in Leavenworth on July 9. Wills believes he can easily whip Johnson but wants to fight the winner of the Carpentier-Dempsey scrap first. JOHN A.

This means, first of all, better sanitary conditions. There should be proper drainage, better and cleaner roads; more modern school houses; lastly, better housing conditions. This problem many of the people of these districts are solving; for they are building for themselves comfortable up-to-date homes by their own thrift and economy. It would be well to remember these things in the next election. Send those men to Congress who will seek to improve these conditions. TOO MUCH AUTHORITY NOT ALWAYS SAFE. It is a safe rule to follow when there is an objection advanced by a considerable number of thoughtful people in a community to the actions of certain officers of the law, to at least give the objection a fair and impartial consideration before taking definite action. This was done in the case of the nearriot of Capitol Heights. As a result these objections to the action of Policeman Henry Darneille in connection with the riot at Capitol Heights on Monday were found to be of sufficient weight and importance to justify the suspension of the officer from the force by the District of Columbia Commissioner Oyster. Likewise the certain thoughtful and reasonable Colored-Americans of the city are constantly complaining about the actions of certain officers of the law toward members of our race. Clothed with a little authority they seek to overstep their bounds. No attention has been paid to it in the past, but The Bee feel that under Commissioner Oyster these acts of lawlessness will be remedied and that the law-abiding citizens of both races will be protected. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. Jac Dempsey has whipped Carpentier for the so-called "heavy-weight championship of the world." Now he has drawn the color line. How can Dempsey be champion of the world if he draws a line on color? He is only champion of the so-called white race. The whole trouble is that the only logical opponent of Dempsey is Wills, and Dempsey is afraid of him. There are men in the colored American race just as honorable as Dempsey. Even though Jack Johnson is not the man to oppose Dempsey, will one of the reasons of Dempsey's manager pass muster? Dempsey's manager gives as one reason that the public would not want such a fight, in view of Johnson's unfortunate position on account of his prison record. Who knows whether Johnson was guilty? Who knows whether Dempsey was guilty of draft dodging? Did the decision of a federal court make Johnson guilty? Did the decision of a federal court make Dempsey, innocent? Why --- MAKE OF MAN THE STATUE. Make of man the statue, the price-less piece of art; All that time has striven for ages to impart; Weld in it his sinews, mold it in his thought, Till the humblest scavenger is gloriously wrought.

While it is a fact that the greater per cent of the betting public was in favor of Dempsey, this was from a monetary standpoint. The majority of people were in favor of Carpentier because of his clear record as against the cloudy record of Dempsey. Dempsey knows that Wills is his master, and if the public demands a meeting of these two men, the color line will be no barrier. In dealing out punishment for violation of traffic regulations why is not more attention given to some of the vehicles of the government? Some of the most flagrant violations are those committed by the chauffeurs of the trucks belonging to the Post Office Department, more especially those used for collection purposes. Not only do they drive at a reckless rate of speed, but they cut corners, make turns without giving the proper signals, leave car in street with engine running. Only last week a driver left his car at a collection box for fifteen minutes by the watch while he was in a telephone booth --- carrying on a conversation, the engine running the entire time. Not only is this a violation of the law, but it is a waste of gasoline. Last Monday afternoon one of the trucks came dashing down the street, and at the intersection met another car on the right, but never slowed up. The driver of the second truck put on the brakes, and, the streets being wet, skidded directly into a tree. An officer of the law who was near merely remarked: "The drivers of these Post Office trucks certainly are careless and should be pinched." Why are they not pinched? Do not the traffic rules apply to them? Let the law be enforced, irrespective of person. IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC. For ages the public has listened to certain types of voices with varying degrees of interest. Talent of any kind is interesting; that is, if the worth of it is not in its possession but its use. As time passes on keener their sense of appreciation has been aroused, and today no singer steps upon the platform without a knowledge that the newspaper reporter is not only a listener, but many of the audience are present only to hear and judge. There are today many ways in which the public is being highly educated, through concerts galore, the phonograph and player pianos. The melodious lyric singers who seek beauty of tone production and not noise, are gripping their audiences, the pure flute-like coloratura soprano, who is just now being considered rara aris; the thunderous basso profundo, with an upper range of four or five tones, is being replaced by the soulful basso cantante, and the wonderful work of the baritones, both light and high; the full-throated contralto, with only her deep and sonorous cello-like voice, must reckon with her sister, the mezzo contralto, having at her command unlimited range ascending and descending. The National Association of Negro Musicians will hold, as it has been stated before, its annual meeting in Nashville. This association received its invitation from Mr. H. B. Johnson. Mr. Henry L. Grant of this city is president, and it has been arranged that the first session would be held at the Mount Olive Baptist Church, Dr. C. H. Clark, pastor. This church being the largest, as well as one of the most modern buildings in Nashville owned by our race. At the close of the first day's session an "All Star Concert" has been arranged. The second session will be held on the Campus of the Tennessee A. and I. State Normal School, Prof. W. J. Hale, president. It will be a source of wonderful inspiration to the musicians to be entertained by this faculty. Every member, from the president to the janitor, is a member of the race. By the Summer Normal, which brings teachers from all sections of the country, will be in session, and this will be of additional interest to the visiting musicians. As a climax to these wonderful arrangements, Mr. Johnson has stated that plans have been completed to give the visitors a motor trip over the city of Nashville on Friday, July 29th, culminating in a picnic at Greenwood Park, the most beautiful playground in the South owned by our race. This, said Mr. Johnson, is a tentative plan for Nashville's entertainment of the National Association of Negro Musicians. The Sunday School Music of Asbury Church, which is rendered mostly by the little ones, has much promised talent in it, which should, and is, being highly valued. The selections were played by the pastor, kev, Julius Carnoll, pianist, and Mr. W. Calvin Chase, cornetist. ANACOSTIA NEWS. Miss Etta Weaver, Hawkins of Pomeroy Road recently won a handsome four-piece silver service set for selling 125 tickets in aid of Group No. 34 of Miles C. M. E. Church.

The many friends of Mr. William Edwards of Douglas Road are greatly pleased at his improved health since returning from the hospital, where he was successfully operated upon. Many of his fellow workers of the United States Bureau of Engraving have called to see him. Policeman Frank Waters has succeeded in breaking up the game of "craps" indulged in by many of the young men on Stanton and Sheridan Roads. The citizens of all classes appreciate his splendid work.

THERE IS NCNE "JUST AS GOOD" Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 HABEAS CORPUS STAYS EXECUTION OF SIX COLORED AMERICANS. (Special to The Bee.) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that a respite had been obtained in the cases of the six colored men sentenced to die on July 10 for their alleged connection with the Arkansas riots. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a street scene with buildings and trees. Unsuccessful appeals were made to Governor Thomas C. McRea to grant a stay of execution pending the result of the trials of the other six men in the Phillips County Court. Two days before the date set for the execution of Frank Hicks and five others, attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P. applied for a writ in the Pulaski Chancery Court restraining the state of Arkansas from putting the death sentence into execution. The writ was granted by Chancellor Martineau and a restraining order was served upon the warden at the penitentiary, preventing the execution pending further action by the court. On June 8 the National Office received the following telegram from Little Rock, Arkansas: 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. "Petition for Habeas Corpus filed in Chancery Court which stays execution. (Signed), Scipia A. Jones." Meanwhile a writ of prohibition was applied for by the authorities in the Arkansas State Supreme Court, dissolving this last defence of the condemned men. The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. immediately telegraphed its attorneys suggesting that they apply in the federal court for a writ of habeas corpus to prevent the execution. The Teacher Training Department The Grammar School The Divinity School The Academy The Commercial Department The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Home Economics The Department of Music The Department of Social Service On June 21, the National Office received the following telegram from Little Rock, signed Scipio A. Jones: "No imminent danger electrocution. Possible writ here from Arkansas Supreme Court to Supreme Court United States, habeas corpus in Federal Court. Date of execution not named by Governor. Change of venue granted. Trial October." It is possible that the cases will be carried on a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the United States. In the cases of Edward Ware and the other five defendants whose convictions have been twice reversed by the State Supreme Court, attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P. immediately applied for a change of venue, when the cases were brought to trial for the third time in the Phillips County Circuit Court early in May, on the ground that prejudice against the defendants in Phillips County would prevent obtaining a fair and impartial trial. The judge reserved decision for six weeks on the motion for a change of venue, when, in the usual course of procedure, a decision is rendered in three or four days. No reason is known for this unusual action. The telegram from Scipio A. Jones confirms that the change of venue has at last been granted, and that the men will be tried at the October term of the court. URGES COLORED BEACH. Col. Sherrill Wants 100,000 District Bathing Place. Colored residents of the District will have a modern bathing beach, similar to that for the white-people in the tidal basin, if Congress approves the recommendation of Lieut. Col. Sherrill, the engineer officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, that $100,000 be provided for that purpose. "At the present time," says Col. Sherrill, "there are a number of bathing places for the colored people under the control of the District. The beach in the Anacostia river, just east of James Creek canal, on Second street southwest, is used daily by a large number of colored bathers. That is an excellent shelving beach, covered with gravel and clean sand, and it may be possible to place the proposed construction at that point, as that beach is centrally located with respect to a large colored population. Another site under consideration is on the south bank of the Anacostia River, between Bolling Field and the Anacostia Bridge." MOBILE COLORED DOCTORS GET THREAT FROM KLAN. Mobile, Ala.—Mobile city and county Ku Klux Klan, said to number 3,500 distributed bills throughout the city Saturday night and Sunday morning threatening colored doctors. The sign said: "Seventy-two hours after this notice you must have the word 'colored' posted on your signs. This waiting on white patients must be stopped. You'll know this in the next case you attend, so don't blame us; because you have been warned. This is no 'Negro' whipping organization, but should occasion arise, be assured we will not hesitate." BISHOPS END CONFERENCE Racial Adjustment Chief Topic; Fraternal Union Also Advocated (Associated Press.) Chicago, Ill.-Racial Adjustment was the principal topic discussed at the A. M. E. Church's Bishops Council, which closed its annual meeting here last Saturday morning. The council met in the old historic Bethel Church and the sessions were largely attended by the public. Organic Union and Fraternal Union were the other big topics discussed. The question of organic union with other large bodies of Methodists was the most warmly debated by the council. While the question was laid aside or the present it was earnestly presented as one of "the more vital questions now confronting Methodism throughout the world." On the other hand, fraternal union was advocated, and the secretary of the council, Bishop J. Albert of Philadelphia, was instructed to conduct such correspondence as would encourage the favorable action of all Methodists on this particular matter. The bishops in attendance at the council were: Benjamin F. Lee of Wilberforce, Ohio; Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia, Pa.; C. S. Smith of Detroit, Mich.; William H. Heard of Philadelphia, Pa.; John R. Hurst of Baltimore, Md.; I. N. Ross of Washington; D. C.; A. J. Carey, of Chicago, Ill.; H. B. Parkes of Chicago, Ill.; W. W. Beckett of Brooklyn, N. Y.; W. L. Chappelle, of Columbia, S. C.; J. M. Conner of Little Rock, Ark.; W. D. Johnson of Plains, Ga.; W. A. Fountain of Atlanta, Ga.; and J. Albert Johnson of Philadelphia, Pa. The Connecticut council, comprised of the heads of departments of the church also held session during the week. Among the more prominent men in attendance were: Dr. Reverdy C. Ranson, editor of the A. M. S. Church Review; Dr. John R. Hawkins, the general financial secretary of the church; Dr. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the connection. HARDING WILL NOT "FAIL" PEOPLE. Anxiety Expressed as to Definition of Word "Fail"; Interest in Party Waning. President Harding has given assurance to visitors who have discussed the matter of his attitude on racial matters, that he will not "fail" the colored people of America. The reaction from recent developments and trends of policy has created a stir among voters and citizens generally that is almost equal to an election. The dying embers of Tulsa's massacre, together with the labor situation and the gloomy news of justice, have placed the people in a sorry frame of mind. It is well, then, that the Executive head of the government comes forward with a note of encouragement. The question, however, is on the definition of the term "fail." President Harding may seriously be of the opinion that he has not failed, provided he makes a certain line of appointments, and pursues the policy of experimenting with the traditions of the south, on the colored American question. "The colored Americans of all sections are inclined in two directions. First, there is a growing minority that feels that the Republican party has once more, to use the expression of one, "used colored people for a good thing"; second, there is a group that desires to let the people who think they are right, try their hand, "until they succeed or fail," and they add. "So far as the South is concerned, we know in advance they will fail." Phone Lincoln 3193 All of the Leading Toilet Preparations, Perfumes, Domestic and Imported Toilet Powders.

OUR NEW HOME 25,000 MORE PORO AGENTS WANTED Equipped with the Very Latest Apparatus for Teaching the Poro System of Scalp and Hair Culture and all Branches of Beauty Culture Terms Moderate Diplomas Given Poro Corner ARE COLORED AMERICANS AN ASSET OR A LIABILITY TO THE SOUTH? (By Sesostris the Egyptian.) There are those who claim one thing, some another, in reference to the colored Americans in the South. Some hold that is an incubus, a sort of barnicle on the body politic. They say that he is in the way of progress, and ought to be moved to some other place. Various have been the schemes for getting rid of this surplus, unwanted part of the population; but none yet has met the terms of pure reason and cold logic. Like the mighty "Father of Waters," the colored Americans were brought here in small lots as an experiment. Now the papulation has gotten so large and unwieldy, that getting rid of him is a serious proposition. But why should they want to get rid of a set of people who have proven true and tried in every emergency? In every war that was ever fought since the planting of the Colonies until the late unpleasantness with Germany, the colored American has fought faithfully and loyally for America. Even when he was promised his freedom during the Revolution, and he was forgotten after the war was over, he still remained true to the land of his forced adoption and slavery. During the Civil War, when it was to his advantage to leave the plantation and seek his freedom, he stayed and protected the family of his master who was at the front, fighting to rivet his chains of bondage firmer upon him. But when the emissaries of the North sought to get him not only to desert the plantation, but to murder the families of their masters, thereby causing said masters to desert the war and protest their homes and firesides, so as to lessen the resistance to the Union, he refused, and stayed until he was freed by Lincoln. The most rabid colored American hater of the North or South cannot deny this. In all the history of the world, can any greater loyalty be found? We do not mean that no attempts had been made to strike for freedom. Only one or two isolated cases are recorded, which were speedily put under subjection, and the ringleaders severely punished. Those were the exception and not the rule. The colored American has always been loyal, and true. When others would come here from other countries and try to destroy the government, they never could get the colored American to join them in their nefarious plans. Well do we remember the attempt during the late war with Germany, how those who sympathized with Germany, endeavored to make capital out of American prejudice, and tried to get the colored Americans to join with the ene- mies within the lines. It was a miserable failure. In some foreign parts they are saying that in the event of a war with Japan, Japan can rely on the support of the colored American. That, too, will be a gigantic failure. The bulk of the colored Americans are in the South. They are the ones who are doing the farming and other hard work that the white man never would think of doing. Such work must be done. Who is going to do it? The immigrants from Europe are scared off by accounts of lynching and other forms of injustice to the colored American. Not being familiar with the situation, he settles in the North, East and West, and refuses to settle in the South. Now, then, how are you going to answer the question whether the colored American is an asset or a liability to the South? HARDWICK DEFENDS WHITES New Georgia. Governor Assails Dorsey and Resents Latter's Action on Peonage. (Special to the Washington Bee.) Atlanta, Ga.—Denouncing lynchings and other crimes of violence against colored Americans, and declaring that there have been fifty-eight cases of lynchings in Georgia since he became governor, Hugh M. Dorsey, in yielding the reins of power to Gov.-elect Thomas W. Hardwick, has recommended to the legislature certain radical changes in order to prevent the recurrence of this situation. In his first address to the people Hardwick has defended the State, which he declares has been unjustly attacked, and has promised that he will "vindicate the majesty and impartiality of the law and not to write my pamphlets." Gov. Hardwick in his message said: "The Georgia farmer bravely and manfully has gone energetically about his business and is now cultivating a crop to help clothe the world, a crop that may cost him twice as much as it brings on the market. He has taken care of the colored American, fed him, clothed him, sheltered him, doctored him, and now, in a year like this, when he has made every imaginable sacrifice to help the colored Americans to be charged on high authority with holding the colored Americans in peonage, is almost more than he can bear. Such a burden, at this particular time, above all others, should not have been imposed upon him; it's an outrageous, unjustified and unustifiable proceeding. "There is no real basis, in truth and impact, upon which the accusation can est. I assert, measuring and weighing my words, that there is no State in this Union, and no country in this world, having within its limits anything like an even division of its population between the white and black races, in which the relations between, the two races are more harmonious th e two races are more harmonious than right here in the State of Georgia."
