The Washington Bee Are Misunderstood Where Colored Man Stands MISUNDERSTANDING RATHER THAN MEANNESS. Much concern is evinced as to where the colored man stands in this country, the fundamental reason on both sides for asking this question is misunderstanding. Misunderstanding rather than meanness, makes men unjust to each other. Ignorance and prejudice feed upon each other. The ignorant are always prejudiced and the prejudiced are always ignorant. The races know and believe in the vices of each, but do not know or believe in the virtues of each other; no race can be persistently unjust and dishonest to another race and be permanently honest or just to itself. God, who is the great Choragus and Master of the scenes of life and death has placed us on the stage together. Let us play our parts like men, neither crying like children nor fighting like dogs. Let us awake and have a point of contact element of the white people and the better element of the colored people and, let the better element on both sides be held responsible for the lawless in his race. The most serious problem confronting each race today is the conquering of his own follies. Abusing each other only complicates the situation and helps nobody; the careers of nations are typified in the careers of individuals. Modern civilization will go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah unless justice and fraternity can obtain a firmer hold on the hearts and brains of men. To accomplish certain good results it has been known to have been necessary to resort to honey combing and acting in a manner which on the surface would appear to be diametrically opposed to that good; yet to secure that good could have been accomplished no other way. Who knows but what President Harding has not a similar condition in mind, and we must see to it that he is given every opportunity to work it out. I would say have faith in the President, the unfortunate thing of it all is, that again enters the idea of "No point of contact." I believe that the differences in mankind are the differences between charcoal and the difference of condition and not composition. diamond; difference of condition and not comp PROMOTED.

Y. W. C. A. NOTES. A very interesting program was furnished at the Vesper Services last Sunday by members of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, under the leadership of Mrs. Anna A. Brown. A large number attended, and all present attended the exercises. Next Sunday, August 11, at 4 p. m., the program will be in charge of Mr. James Jackson of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Mr. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, will be the principal speaker. The public is cordially invited to attend. The Girl Reserves had a lovely day for their outing at Rock Creek Park last Friday. Their next outing will be to Arlington and Fort Myer, August 12. The start is always from the "Y." The Membership Socials are very enjoyable. Ask those who attended the last social. These are held the last Friday in each month. Come and see for yourself. The Dramatic Club, of which Mr. H. E. Beldon is president, and the Good Livers' Club, of which Miss Clara Beverly is president, together took a hike to Cabin John Bridge Sunday morning, leaving the "Y. W." at 6 a. m. At the end of the hike breakfast was cooked and served in WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY AUGUST 13, 1921 the open. Among other pleasant features, many of the camp songs were sung, and all returned about noon, after spending a very enjoyable morning. IDOL OF THE THEATRICAL WORLD. From good authority comes the information that the "Idol of the Theatrical World," Rufus Byars, has leased for ten years, Crandall's Broadway, Theatre, on You Street, between 12th and 13th Streets, which is in course of erection by Harry Crandall, and the Lincoln Theatre, 7th Street between P and Que Streets, which is nearly completed. THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN Mr. Byars has severed his connection with the Hiawatha Theatre, but continues to be vice president and manager of the Dunbar Theatre, in which he holds large interests. Further than this, Mr. Byars refused to talk concerning the matter when interviewed by a Bee reporter, but will give out details to his many friends later. Mr. Byars, though yet a young man, is a veteran theatre manager. He has done much to elevate the tone and quality of plays for the youth of the city. Wherever he goes the crowd follows. The people of the city are solidly at the back of Mr. Byars in anything which he undertakes. The Bee predicts for him a most successful future. For magnetic courtesy to all patrons he is unsurpassed, which is a great asset to the management of the theatrical world. The Board of Trustees held their regular monthly meeting August 3rd. Dr. Milton J. Waldron, the president, presided. *** The executive secretary presented her report for the month of July. It was unanimously received and adopted. *** In the fall we hope to launch some activities for the training of these little ones left all day in our charge. *** Never in the history of the world has child welfare been given such great attention. Let us help our little ones—the poor and needy—by giving our money to support all good work established for the welfare of the children of our race. *** The churches are helping so much to keep the wolf from the door of our nursery. It is hoped that every minister in this city will, through his church, send monthly contributions for the support of the Day Nursery. Let us do more through institutions like the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and the Day Nursery. Improve the lax moral conditions of our community. *** In every community there are children that must be looked after, and this phase of social service is of the highest importance. Let the mothers, in comfortable homes, surrounded by their loved ones, think of the neglected, ill-treated, improperly fed, the orphan, the illegitimate, the foundling, the diseased, the defective and the delinquent child. Have we as a people in this community any institution looking after such children? If not let us awake and arouse public sentiment and help our very own. There are two aspects of this problem—the reformatory and the preventive. For prevention we have the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. and the Day Nursery. All three institutions come under the head of Social Service. All three are a necessity. But it is the Day Nursery to which attention is called. This institution mothers all children of women who are compelled to work away from home to support their families. It is a necessary institution. Once upon a time the mother could carry her little one to her place of employment. It would be warmed and fed, and sometimes clothed. But such is not the case now. Such children must be cared for and trained. Hence the Day Nursery. It is our problem, and we must solve it. The only solution is to give this work your prayerful attention, your money and sympathy. Can not a hundred thousand colored people be the capital of the nation sustain a first class Day Nursery, modernly equipped? Oh, yes, we can. Let us get to work. Give your money. The Day Nursery, 1135 New Jersey Avenue, is facing a financial crisis. Money is needed at once for its maintenance. The mothers have now where else to leave their children. Oh friends, could you be present and listen to the sad stories told by these mothers of their struggles, your hearts would be so touched that you would be constrained to help the cause. Please help us! If you send checks make them payable to the Day Nursery, E. V. C. Williams, Executive Secretary. "THE HISTORY OF ETHIOPIA IN RHYME!" Respectfully dedicated to the colored American race the world over, by the author, Rev. J. Luther Martin, Washington, D. C., August, 1921. Oh, most glorious Ethiopia! Who can all thy history write? For at one time darkness reigned o'er All the world—save for thy light! We have read of the great deluge, That destroyed the whole known earth, And from those eight people rescued, Did the world receive new birth! When the waters ceased their rising, The Ark on Mt. Ararat stayed, Whence from it all of the inmates. Unto other regions strayed! Some of Father Noah's family, Came and settled in the land, That in history is known as Shinar, Built large cities great and grand. Twenty-two and twenty-nine years, Those before the Saviour's birth, Neneveh was built by Ashur The first city known on earth! Then Great Babylon was builted, She whose history is ablaze, With great deeds of wondrous glory, Which shine golden to these days! In five hundred and thirty-six years, Ere the coming of our Lord, She was taken by King Cyrus, All her chiefs killed by the sword! But what of her famous rulers, The famed Nebuchadnezzar, He who ruled the Hebrew captives. Like his nephew Belshazzar? Congressional Library, n Bee 921 ersto Do you, not then read of Daniel He who stood before the King? But this King, sir, was a Hamite— Through all time his name shalt ring! Know ye of "The Hebrew Children?" Those who were cast in the fire? By their disobedience courted, Babylon's king's most dreadful ire! (Author's Note: While these lines were being written, the tune "Love Divine All Love Excelling," was continuously running through these lines!) Up from Africa's great dominions, The famed Queen of Sheba came, To this day in Abyssinia, Rules a king who bears her name! When the Hebrews came from Egypt, They received an awful fright, For in cities walled most massive, Lived the giant "Canaanite!" Sing the glory of Phonicia—Noted Sidon and Tyre! They were truly the first people, Who made ships and sailed the seal From these shores went the great Dido, Founded Charthage. From it went Hannibal! The greatest warrior, Known on any continent! He a thunderbolt created! Hurled it at Imperial Rome! With a heterogenous army, To Rome's gates, with war did come! From Phoenicia, came Cadmus! Founded the city—Thebes Taught the alphabet and farming. Raised vineyards and fine fruit trees! Ham had four sons—good and noble! Misraim was the first of them, He it was who founded Egypt— Greatest Kingdom, known to men! He built the great city—Memphis; Where the Nile for aeons didst flow, He was first to make a river, From one course to another go. Out from Egypt went forth Cecrops Who did the foundation lay Of the Grecian city—Athens, The most glorious in her day! The vast pyramids were builted, By the great Egyptian kings; They are wonders of all ages— None these days can build such things! And the Sphinx! Oh, wondrous lady! Who didst carve the glorious face? And thy body like a lion— Who didst make it with such grace? The Egyptian could work copper, That work now is a lost art! Now we have to beat it smartly, To join each and every part!

GARFIELD, D. C., NEWS. The Good Hope camp meeting was well attended last Sunday. In the morning Rev. M. W. Traverse preached the sacriamental sermon to a very large congregation. His remarks were very instructive and to the point. At 3:30 Rev. Mr. Granderson preached a very able sermon, after which prayer meeting was started by the Union Singing Band of Washington, D. C. This band is very well known by all camp goers. Rev. William Taylor, of Washington, D. C., preached at 8 o'clock to a very large crowd. On Friday, August 5th, Mrs. M. O. Kerrick, assisted by other Sunday school young ladies, gave a very attractive butterfly carnival on the church grove. The entertainment was a grand success, with Miss Viola Young winning the first prize for being the best butterfly Miss Cecila Cannon, daughter of Mrs. Ella Cannon, who is very sick, highly appreciates her many friends who come to visit her from Washington, D. C., and other nearby places. It is hoped she may soon recover and be out with her many friends. Mrs. Susie Marshall, who has been sick for some time is improving very nicely. Mr. N. Jenkins, who has been sick for some time, is doing very nicely. COLORED MUSIC STORE Deserving Your Trade. Choirs, Churches, Teachers and Students. Tell Others, But Let's Make Friends First. ADAMS MUSIC HOUSE, 1911 9th Street N. W. CHAPTER SEVEN. The Coat and the Hat. "The coat and hat were found in the cabin of that n—r Jim," said the one-eyed Brough, "and proves that he's the criminal." "But the coat and hat were not his," suggested John Elliot, diplomatically; "they are known to be the property of some white man." "Makes no diffrence," snorted Brough, the mob leader, "he's the n—r, and his name is hash this time. He can't escape; we've hemmed him in the swamp. Not even his sympathizing kin will be able to save his neck this time." John Elliot was not to be thus insulted, not even by another white man. He reached for his gun: "Say that I am right in what I think you mean, and damn you, I'll shoot you like a dog, you po' white devil!" "Oh, I mean Essie," the dodging coward quickly replied, "she's trying her best to lie him out of this." "Yes," said John Elliot, compromised by this cowardice of Brough, although he knew that the insinuation did not refer to Essie. But with all the easy presumptuousness of the landowner class, he continued: "And now you are going to shut your mouth and hear me tell just what she does say about it. Then you and these gentlemen may do as you damned please. Essie's a n—r, but her story agrees in the main points with that of the white woman. The white woman says that the man who stopped her buggy and assaulted her was white; and that when he put her back into the buggy and ordered her to drive on, she heard another vehicle approaching from the cross road; and that later she, saw her assailant going across a field, as if frightened away without his hat and coat. "Now Essie says that Jim was driving that way and picked up a coat and hat, which he brought home." To relieve the situation an older member of the mob now spoke up in Brough's stead. "I don't mean to make any insinuating or insulting remarks," he prefaced, "but I'm used to consistent lying on the part of n—rs. The uppish kind always help each other, and she's his mother, and blood is thick'n water." John Elliot winced, but the man continued: "The lady did say that the man was white, but ain't Jim white?" Elliot's gun-hand crept toward his pocket, but the man went on, apologetically. "I mean, ain't he a light n—r, who could be mistaken for a white man in the dark? And your own darky Sam says Jim acted suspicious when he brought the coat and hat in, and as soon as Sam knew a coat and hat figgered in the case, he came and told us." "Come here, Sam!" siffouted a third member of the mob. "Here, n—r, come and tell Mr. Elliot jus' what you tol' us." Essie's frightened husband came forth, or rather was thrust forward from the center of the mob, which, as a reward for his miserable lies, had held him like a hostage and treated him almost as if he were criminal himself. They had hinted again and again in his hearing that, if they did not catch Jim, they might try their guns on "the first n—r they could get their hands on." Sam's statement, therefore, was more a plea for his own hide than for any other purpose. "Ah known it wuz Jum. He ain't my chile, you see;" and then he noticed Elliot's eyes batting fast. He knew what this meant, so he hastily and excitedly continued: "Ah mean, lie's jes' Essie's chile. An' jes' ez soon ez Ah hyaeahs 'bout de trouble, Ah sez ter mysef, sez Ah: 'Sam ain't gwine ter git into trouble 'bout dis boy. Cause Ah done tried ter make him behave lak a good n—r ever since Ah married his mammy. You see, he ain't my chile—jes' Essie's chile by hersef erlone. 'Tain't my fault white fokes, dat he ain't raised right, an" "Hurry up, n—rl!" shouted two or three impatient men. "Soon ez Ah hyeayd dat a lady wuz 'salted and dat de white gemmens wuz lookin' fer de coat an' hat, Ah wene straight an' tol' de white fokes. An' Ah tol' his mammy afterwards, an' she done tol' Jim. An' she sez he 'spainter her dat he ain't done it, bu she tell him ter run 'fo' de white fokes come. But Mister Ellyut kir bear me witness 'dat Ah didn't marry her 'till long after Jim wuz born, an'"____ "Shut up, n——r! Come on!" The mob dragged him away fright- ened almost unto death for his life. Elliot stood silent. Was he con- vinced or compromised? CHAPTER EIGHT. The Man Hunt. Colored men who were friends or acquaintances of Jim were compelled to go through the nearby swamp at night, followed closely by armed white men. These Negroes were ordered to engage in conversation, in which they had been drilled beforehand, and which was calculated to betray the 'fugitive. "Dem white fokes done got tired huntin' Jim," they were made to say in loud voices. Letters were also dropped in different parts of the swamp and neighboring woods purporting to be from Aunt Katy and Essie or other colored people, telling Jim just when and where he might get food and how he might escape. Once a report was spread around that Jim's mother, Essie, was very sick, and that Mary was dying. sick, and that Mary was dying. At another time word was passed around that Jim was not the right man after all, but that the right man had been caught and lodged in jail. The mob members, with all their cunning, were making two fundamental mistakes. First, they were using colored people, against their will, as agents and the medium of all these lies and attempted decoys. Second, they were at the same time abusing, bullying and malt treating innocent colored people, so that no Negro could possibly, sympathize with them. It should have been expected that under such conditions these people, with their wonderful intuition, would use all their cunning to foil the pursuers. One day Sam was informed by the mob that he would be sent into the swamp, at night, to find Jim. Oh, Lawdy Gawd, white fokes! dat n—r'll kill me!" "Well, he's yo' son, ain't he " suggested Brough, with a general "haw-haw!" The idea might have been at first a jest, but the instant and sincere terror of Sam was so delicious to his tormentors that when night came they made good the jest, and actually started Sam toward the swamp at the point of their guns. Breaking under the torture, Sam shrieked aloud, foamed at the mouth and tore at his own flesh. He was mad. They shot him like a dog. If we fail to destroy a man or seduce a people through their vices, we can still attack them through their vices. The devil sometimes assails a man by the way of his strong points, and makes his virtues misfortunes. So the man-hunters, began to think: "Perhaps these colored people are 'traitors'; maybe they are in touch with Jim; they may be warning him against our traps; possibly these colored people are doing for this colored man exactly what under similar circumstances we white people would do for any white man—give him warning and aid. There, now, we have it. We must also fool these people. They must be made to lead Jim into trap without knowing themselves that it is a trap. That is, they would betray these people and this fugitive through their virtues. Colored people are strong in sympathy, and when once they feel deeply, in loyalty, also. Jim was strong in physical courage and in self-sacrificing love for Essie and Mary. "That's it," said one of the mob. "We'll let the n—rs kno that we fixing to give the two wenches hell tomorrow night, an' they'll be sure to slip the word along to Jim. He's got a lot o' nerve and that'll get him out." "Yes, he always.would fight for his sister," testified the one-eyes Brough. So the plot was laid. The mob, still calling itself a posse and assuming all law, issued a decree. that Essie and her daughter should stay in the cabin all the next day and night, and that no colored person was to go there under pain of chastisement by the posse. (Continued Next Week.) (Copyright, 1921, by William Pickens. Released Exclusively by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service. All Rights Reserved.) Dr. J. H. Dillard Tells Colored Americans to Take Courage—South Carolina Is Building Many Schools—Teachers and Ministers Co-Operate—Racial Understanding Secured Through Conference. Hampton, Va., August 10.—That colored American rural ministers of Western South Carolina are heartily interested in securing better school facilities, in improving farm life, in teaching men, women and children how to keep well, and in developing useful community organization, as well as in making the church a stronger force in community life was clearly shown at the recent four-day conference, which was held jointly with a summer school for teachers at Bettis Academy, located seven miles from Trenton, S. C., on a sand hill—an educational and recreational mecca for thousands of plodding colored American cotton farmers and their families. Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottettesville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, was the guiding spirit. He gave some helpful and inspiring talks on "How to Study the Bible." Associated with Dr. Dillard on the staff of instructors were Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who spoke on "How to Make a Sermon;" B. C. Caldwell of New Orleans,"The Ministers and His Correspondence;" Rev. Laurence Fenninger, chaplain of Hampton Institute,"Sunday School Work;" Jackson Davis, field agent General Education Board,"Church and Community;" and W. T. B. Williams of Tyskegee Institute,"Church Finances and Records." The ministers' registration list reached 173. Probably 225 to 250 ministers attended the conference. Some came long distances—50 to 200 miles. The summer school for teachers numbered over 200. These two strong rural life forces were brought together most helpfully in midday and evening devotional services—services at which faithful, helpful men and women poured forth in rich heart-songs the joys and sorrows of a-race that is finding its way to light and truth—and there the devoted servants of an upward moving race listened to inspiring' addresses from white and colored friends. Progress in Colored American Education. Hon. John E. Swearingen, state superintendent of education for South Carolina, who is backing to the limit the program of "better schools for all citizens," stated frankly that, with cotton falling from forty cents a pound to six cents a pound, "everybody must do a great deal of extra work to hold what has been gained in more prosperous times and must get a fixed resolution not to slip back." Superintendent Swearingen paid a warm tribute to the work and worth of Alfred W. Nicholson, president of Bettis Academy, who, through many long years of uphill struggle, has won the respect and confidence of white and colored citizens on account of his unselfish and wise program of service, both as an educator and as a community organizer. The presence of Superintendent Swearingen and J. B. Felton, state supervisor of colored American schools in South Carolina, was deeply appreciated by the colored American ministers and teachers, who were pleased to hear that this year, according to Supervisor Felton, one-third of all the colored American teachers of South Carolina are attending summer school; that last year forty-nine colored American schools were built, and this year probably one hundred more will be built; that last year the South Carolina legislature gave $15,000 for colored American schools and that colored Americans themselves added another $20,000 to to this amount. Teachers and Ministers Co-Operate. That the teachers and ministers, working together, must help to bring the country to what it should be in American life, and must lead others to the better life here, as well as point out a better life hereafter, was the thought expressed by Dr. Dillard in opening, the third annual ministers' institute at Bettis Academy. Dr. Dillard, in bringing the conference to a close, outlined the wonderful progress which American colored Americans have made during the past fifty years. "There never has been a day in this world," said Dr. Dillard, "when, the relation between white people and colored Americans has been as good as it is today, in spite of some of the awful things that sometimes happen. We are a part of a great forward movement. There are today many, many white people who want the colored American to have justice. Let me leave with you a word of cheer. Go forward. Things are getting better in spite of the many evils that exist. Going forward really means securing what is good for all the people. God can bring up beautiful things even out of mud. Keep up your courage: Keep saying: 'I will fear no evil.' 'Let not your heart be troubled.' 'Be strong in the Lord.' Each of us must practice good will and do the best work that we can in the world." Community Giving. The ministers' institute at Bettis Academy is annually made a great success through the co-operation of many neighbors who send in generous supplies of chicken, eggs, butter, syrup, pork and beef, garden vegetables, biscuits, money—and even beds and bedding. The women of the Mount Canaanan Baptist Church again served a big community dinner to several hundred on one of the conference days. The visiting ministers took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, and went to work in good spirit to help President Nicholson and his loyal, modest, untiring co-workers. The teachers and ministers joined each afternoon in a voluntary song practice in which they discovered anew the binding and uplifting power of music. The ministers gathered each morning at 7 o'clock for prayer service, and, with new peace and strength, then entered on the long day's work. Late into the night groups of ministers discussed the wonder and blessedness of the new racial understanding, which Dr. Dillard, a white Southern friend, has been helping men and women of both races, not only in the South but throughout the nation, discover through his personal teaching and Christian example. One minister's prayer will best express the spirit of the conference: "God, I thank You for what my ears have heard, my eyes have seen, and my heart has felt." Unspeakable gratitude and abiding faith in days of DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGES TION CURE.

Davidson of Harvard University, in an address recently delivered under the auspices of the Community Service of Boston. He gave it as his opinion that four isn't at all the limiting number of the existent fallacies on the subject of music in relation to the American people, but he picked out four of the biggest and juiciest, to proceeded to squash them. The belief that what is known as "popular music" is the deliberate choice of the people at large is one of them. The idea that music to be "good music" must be "high brow," complicated, difficult, hard to understand, is another. It is a mistake to think that music to be good must be "high brow." The truth is, he says, that the very best music is often the simplest. Take the case of the folk songs. Folk songs rank among the best music. They are part of the actual music language of the people. It is impossible, he says, for nearly anybody to enjoy any kind of music, and only the high brow wishes to do away entirely with ragtime, jazz and the sentimental ballad, define practically the entire musical knowledge of this country, and the great majority of the public, unacquainted with the good, unhesitatingly accepts as its musical birthright the cheap, the vulgar and vapid. SHAW AND HAMPTON TIE IN SONG CONTEST Hampton, Va., August 10.—The Hampton Institute delegation recently brought from the Y. W. C. A. conference at Raleigh a silver cup, offered by Mrs. Helen Peters Wallace, first chairman of colored work under the National Board of the Y. W. C. A., to the delegation which presented the best original conference song. The song contest was arranged by Miss Wilhelmina B. Patterson of Hampton, who served as the director of music for the conference. Hampton woiit the prize in a tie with Shaw and has the cup in its possession for the first half of the year. Some of indifference and skepticism—these are the characteristics of colored American rural preachers of western South Carolina. BUSINESS LEAGUE CONVEN-TION SHOULD PROVE HELPFUL TO NEGRO MERCHANTS. Coming at a time when our national business is passing through a serious crisis, the approaching convention of the Colored American Business League, which will be held in Atlanta Ga., August 17, 18, 19, 1921, will mean more to the business men and women of the race than any similar convention of the past for our business interests are inseparably linked up with the business interests of the country.

Hampton, Va., August 1Q—Miss Marian Anderson, the well known and accomplished colored contralto of Philadelphia, recently won new laurels in her second appearance at Hampton Institute. Her Ogden Hall program, which was given under the auspices of the Men's Club of St. Cyprian's Church of Hampton, whose rector is the Rev. E. H. Hamilton, was thoroughly appreciated by the large summer school audiences and by many citizens of Hampton and vicinity. Miss Anderson was assisted by Helen Elise Dett. (Mrs. R. Nathaniel Dett), pianist, and Paige I. Lancaster, baritone, former lieutenant in the famous 367th Regiment ("Buffaloes"). The accampanists were William L. King and R. Nathaniel Dett. Miss Anderson's concert program follows: Alieu Forets (Tschaikowski), Her Rose (Combs), The Little Damozel (Weatherly), Du Christ 'Avest Ardeur (Bemberg), Follow Me (Dett), Bye an Bye (Burleigh), and Summer (Charminade) all by Miss Anderson; The Trout (Schubert-Heller) and Valse Impromptu (Lisza) by Mrs. Dett; and Vision Fugitive (Massenet), Love Song (Brahms), and Thank God for a Garden (Del Riego) by Mr. Lancaster. a sacrifice to attend the sessions of the meeting.

WHITE LEGIONARIES ENTERTAIN JACK JOHNSON IN CHICAGO. Grooming John Arthur for a Battle With Dempsey. Chicago, Ill.—Members of Sol Sal-Mar Post of the American Legion banqueted Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, and until recently an inmate of the federal prison at Leavenworth. The Legionaries, who are white men, promised to do all in their power to secure a battle for Johnson with Jack Dempsey. This announcement was not made until physicians had examined the Negro pugilist and pronounced lungs, biceps and other anatomical sections, in good battling condition. Dr. J. W. Hall, president of the American Academy of Health, and Dr. George Aste of the Policlinic Hospital, made the inspection while Johnson displayed his gilded molars in an expansive grin. "I ought to be," Jack said. "I did lots of boxing and bag punching while at Leavenworth, and now I'm fit to meet any man alive." Several speeches were made by Legionaries praising Johnson for his war service, while Mr. Dempsey was occupied in shipyard labor. Johnson, it is said, was employed in intelligence work for the United States government in Spain. "We'll do, our best to secure a match between you and Dempsey," said Capt. John P. Tansey, commandant of the post. "If he refuses, we'll bring pressure upon the governors of states where boxing is legalized so that Dempsey will not be allowed to fight there." Ask Legion to Arrange Match. The post will communicate with other posts of the American Legion to stir up propaganda in favor of the match. During the discussion, mention was made of the fourteenth amendment, which, according to the speaker's interpretation, declares there shall be no discrimination between whites and blacks.

HARRIS . THE MAN WHO DARES. I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. Founder and Proprietor and Editor of the Washington Bee, June 6, 1879 — January 3, 1921. Orator, Politician and Leader. The Fearless! The Courageous! The Invincible. Like the late Editor—We are truly democratic! This is a journal for the benefit of the people, whether they are in high or low places! May God bless and keep these lowly people. May they ever find friends like our late editor who will help them in their struggles toward the light" CONVENTION REPUDIATED. The Bee calls the attention of the thinking women of the country to the convention which is scheduled to meet in Kansas City, August 21, 22, 1921, and repudiates it as an effort on the part of one woman and her handful of associates to name themselves the representatives and leaders of the women of the country. Our repudiation of this convention is based upon the fact that the woman calling the convention is not a representative of the people at her former home in South Carolina, the home of her adoption, Illinois, the District of Columbia where she resides, nor the country at large. That in calling the convention the people in general have not been consulted and that she has received no mandate from them to call a convention. From all parts of the country the women are asking the following questions: Who issued the call? Who authorized the call? Why was the call issued? The Bee has answered the first two of these questions. With regard to the third, rumor has it that it was called because the self-constituted association in its present state could get no political recognition unless it gave people a chance to elect their own leader. Had the call been made by strictly legislative methods—issuing from the people in general, such a convention would have yielded much influence for good. If the representative women of the country, I mean those sent to the convention by the people in the town where they reside, are not present, the race will be done more harm than good. Such representatives should be thoroughly qualified in education, experience, and in good standing for leadership based on service among the people where they reside. Otherwise, there is no hope for success but the convention will work to the detriment of the colored women in politics by ending in a fiasco of blasted hopes. The call to this convention was not given to the press in general. Each newspaper has its patrons. Hence a person failing to see the call in the newspaper which he reads would receive it through hearsay, which is not at all times dependable. The Bee hopes that the thinking and qualified women of the country who see fit to answer the call will take hold of the situation at this convention and (1) turn the tide of events that the convention may be an honor to the race and country in general. (2) That it may become an organization not dominated by the opposite sex, but to work in harmony with them. Much of the world's work remains to be done by the women. (3) That it may become an organization representing all of the people irrespective of station. (4) That it may be an organization used to benefit and uplift the people in general and not used for the selfish aggrandizement of any individual whether he be woman or man. (5) In short let it become an organization "Of the people, by the people, and for the people," of the United States with a leader who is thoroughly qualified, intellectually and morally, who has served the people of all classes in general. One who can stand before the President of the United States, if necessary, and tell the needs of the people and not have to read what some one else has written. Exercise care in electing the woman to represent the women of the country. so. But there is another kind of lynching which is equally as bad, the lynching of a man's business. Real men are too big for this small thing. They lay aside personal differences and personal aggrandizements and try to be fair and honorable when an individual has done all in his power to atone for a wrong done either intentionally or unintentionally. This is what should be done to a man's business when a mistake has been made for which he is not responsible. But those who continue to sing and dance the death song, must pay the piper. This, our contemporary did on bended knee in the form of an apology, when it made the false statement without getting the truth that Messrs. David Eugene Taylor and Prof. Charles M. Thomas spoke before the Baptist conference. The individuals who are continuing this false propanganda are doing the race more harm than good and are not contributing one iota to race unity nor race solidarity. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that its two representatives to the Pan-African Congress, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, and Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the Association, were sailing Saturday, August 6, on the Holland-American Line steamship Ryndam, to take part in the Pan-African Congress to be held in London, Paris and Brussels. Dr. DuBois is secretary of the Congress, which is the second of its kind, the first having been held in Paris in 1910 with 56 delegates representing 16 countries. Before sailing Dr. DuBois gave out the following statement concerning the Pan-African Congress: "The Pan-African Congress is not a scheme of migration either to Africa or elsewhere. It is not a project of veiled or open war or conquest. It is not based on revolution or race hatred. It seeks knowledge and action through reason and law. It believes in the equality of men and races, but it seeks to realize this through education and opportunity and periodic conference. "The world is uniting, whether by League of Nations or Disarmament Conference or Peace Congress. Sooner or later the race and color problems must be faced. The Pan-African Congress can prepare the way for this by uniting effort, clarifying ideas, collecting facts, and presenting to the modern world clear, intelligent and carefully considered demands." The sessions of the Second Pan-African Congress will be as follows: In London, two sessions on August 28 and 29 are to be devoted to conferences with the Aborigines Protection Society and other organizations, and to discussion of the condition of persons of African descent in the British Empire. In Brussels, August 31, September 1 and 2, discussion of the history and civilization of Africa, conditions of persons of African descent throughout the world, and remedies for present conditions as well as mtehods of settling the "Negro Problems" of the world. The Brussels sessions are to be in the World Peace Palace. In Paris, September 4 and 5, two sessions are to be devoted to future action in behalf of the colored races of the world and to discussion of the League of Nations and other international movements. Among the prominent Europeans who will take part in the Second Pan-African Congress are Henri Barbusse, France, author of "Under Fire" and "Inferno"; Senator Henri La Fontaine, and Paul Otlet, Belgium; General Luis Sorelas, Spain; J. R. Archer, ex mayor of Battersea, and John H. Harris, secretary of the Aborigines Protective Society, England. The gentlemen in charge of the park at 50th and Hayes Streets, D. C., have spared no pains in making this commodious park enjoyable for its patrons. The usually large crowd that turned out on the occasion of the performance of the Whitman Sisters broke all records for numbers on such occasion so that it was unwieldly. The Bee hopes that the people will still appreciate the efforts of the gentlemen in charge by their continued hearty cooperation. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. to boost, so that when we have some of our friends visiting the city we might have some place to carry them. The management of the Howard Theater deserves credit in succeeding in bringing Jack Johnson to this city, and the people showed their appreciation. Some of the very people who have been condemning Johnson were the very first in line to greet this great pugilist. It is rumored that Russell A. Wooding will soon have charge of the orchestra at the Republic Theater. Mr. Wooding is now conducting the orchestra at the Suburban Gardens, and it is quite certain that the Republic Orchestra will please its hearers should Mr. Wooding take charge. Mr. Douglass, the present director of the Republic Orchastra, needs to be commended upon the splendid showing which it has made. I wonder why it is that some people will criticise an individual for doing a thing, and then turn right around and do the same thing themselves? I happened on You Street last week, and while standing between 13th and 14th Streets, talking to a friend, overheard one of our prominent race men talking to a prominent minister. These were his parting words "Well, I must be moving along, as I want to get some ice cream, and am going to 14th and You Streets to purchase some, as that stuff they sell at Banks & Burwell is nothing but grit." This same individual two Sundays ago, while addressing an audience concerning the purchase of some cream for a picnic, said: "Whatever the committee does, do not purchase cream from Chapin & Sacks nor Carry, as all the druggists have boycotted these firms." Some consistency. Why not forget it. Everybody makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Why not boycott the/District Government for discriminating at the Municipal Bathing Beach? Why not boycott the moving picture houses? The same firms, furnish reels to the white houses that furnish them to the theatres operated by colored Americans. Let us be consistent. I happened to stop in the Ninth Precinct Police Station last Saturday night when the officers were making their reports, and overheard the report made by the officer on duty at the Suburban Gardens. The officer reported that there was a crowd of more than five thousand people, and do disorder whatsoever, and that the conduct was fine. This is an example as to how a crowd can be handled when efficient officers are on duty, officers who do not use some of this "rough stuff." No blame should be placed on the management for the happening on the night of the appearance of the Whitman Sisters. No one anticipated such a crowd. A crowd of 6,000 people in any one place is some crowd. One leading colored American citizen was heard to remark: "I hope they will close the park up." Why close it up? The management deserves credit for trying to please the people, and the people showed their appreciation. This individual had not even been inside the park.

Henry Lewis has just returned from Atlantic City, where he has been spending his vacation. While there he stamped his fine personality upon the populace, just as he has involuntarily done elsewhere. The Atlantic City Daily Press of July 9 says of him: "Professor J. Henry Lewis of Washington, D. C., for many years the chorister of the Asbury M. E. Church Senior Choir of that city, and the 'organizer and director-manager of the famous Amphion Glee Club, arrived in the city a few days ago and is the guest of the Ridley Hotel, 1806 Arctic Avenue, for several weeks' stay. "The Amphion Glee Club is thirty years old, and the professor has devoted his life to its management and instruction. This club is the best of its kind before the public today, having performed in almost all the leading cities of this country. It is a big drawing card, and wins unusual success whenever, and wherever, it appears. The professor anticipates giving a performance here in August, details of which will appear at a later date, and Atlantic City will do itself proud to witness this unusual program. "Professor Lewis is a man of a wonderfully magnetic personality, and numbers hosts of admirers and friends among its followers. He is a product of Howard University, and is a lifelong friend of Judge Robert H. Terrell, also of the National Capital. "The professor is a clerk over fifteen white employees in the offices of the Interstate Commerce Commission, where he has served for thirty-two years. He has a number of friends and admirers here, among whom is the reporter for these col- umns, who served as a contralto in the choir of which he was the director. Prof. Lewis will be glad to see his many friends at his hotel." FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mrs. Myrtha Lee continues to have as her house guest Mrs. Boxdale of Washington. Mrs. Florine Genus and little son James are enjoying the ocean breezes at Atlantic City. Mr. C. W. Adams was the guest of Mrs. Marion Washington and family of Woodridge, Va., last week. Mr. Thornton Jones and company gave an enjoyable musical at the M. E.

Mrs. Henderson is the proprietor of the only colored grocery and notion store in the town. Her shelves are well stocked and each month finds her adding more to the variety of her stock until her present quarters have become too small. Her pleasant, yet business-like manner has won for her many customers of both races. * * * Master Alphonso Swan of Washington, is visiting Master Warren Strother. Mrs. James H. Meriwether, who has been the guest of her daughter, Mrs. E. B. Henderson, left Saturday night for Charleston, W. Va., where she will be the guest of her daughter and son-in-law, Lawyer and Mrs. T. G. Nutter. Mrs. Eliza Evans accompanied by her brother, Mr. William Carter and Mrs. Nichols of New York, spent Thursday in Harpers Ferry, the guests of her aunt, Mrs. McDaniels. No sadder news has come into the town recently than that which told of the death of Rev. Ruddack, the district superintendent of the M. E. Church. Rev. Ruddock was greatly respected and admired by the whole community for he was a man of broad education and liberal views. He was in sympathy with the N. A. A. C. P. movement and all else that tended to uplift his race. The church has sustained a great loss and the community voices its sympathy in the passing away of such a great benefactor. Every truck and auto owner in the town took advantage of the delightful day and motored to Lincoln, Va. where the annual rally of the Baptist Church, Rev. G. W. Powell, pastor, occurred. The picturesque scenery all along the route added greatly to the enjoyment of the day. Rev. Cligsby, pastor of the Baptist Church at Bailey's Cross Roads, preached at both services. The total collection for the day amounted to $193.67. * * * The products of the big new racial enterprise, "The Liberty Chemical Company," are going fast throughout northern Virginia.

Milter and Perry Bradford, the well known men of this country, presented to the people of this city Jack Johnson and a four-act comedy. The company presented two wonderful and laughable shows, one at 6 p. m. and the other at 9. The house was crowded at each show during the three days. The music was furnished by Mr. Harvey Pearson's four-piece jazz with Bill Williams (better known as Bill Jones) on the traps. The acts were as follows: Thomas F. Weathers,' Miss Anita Wilkins, Butler and Metcalf, Boots, Hope, Braxton and Hawkins, and Jack Johnson himself. You are laughing from the time you go in until the show is over and then it was still spoken of. Mr. Vincent Thomas had to employ two others, making four in the box office to handle the tickets, which was very successful. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Phone North 1266-W. --- Saturday. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announced through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, today, the successful conclusion of the long and difficult fight to prevent the return of Thomas Ray, a colored man, from Michigan to Wilkinson-County, Ga., where he was wanted on a charge of murder. Early in September, 1920, Ray was arrested in Detroit. Prior to that time he had been working on a farm in Wilkinson County, Ga., when he was attacked by Dewitt Faulkner, a white man of poor reputation. Faulkner, while intoxicated, had made an unwarranted assault on Ray, who in turn fired in defense of his own life, killing Faulkner. Ray escaped to Canada, and later went to Detroit, where he was arrested. Messrs. Willis and Hinton of Detroit were retained by Ray's father to prevent the extradition, and the Detroit Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. associated with them its attorney and president, W. Hayes McKinney. Governor Albert Sleeper of Michigan granted the writ of extradition on being appealed to by the Georgia authorities, in spite of the fact that it was clearly indicated that Ray would be lynched if returned for trial. Ray's attorney immediately applied for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted. As he was leaving the court room, he was re-arrested on grand jury indictment, which had been forwarded to Detroit from Geor-The original arrest had been made on a warrant. The second writ of habeas corpus was applied for, but was denied. The attorneys then appealed from the decision of the Wayne County Circuit Court to the State Supreme Court of Michigan, which court in turn affirmed the verdict of the lower court. Another appeal was then made to Governor Groesback, who, upon examination of the facts, ordered that the warrant of extradition be held in abeyance until proper investigation could be made into the charge that plans had been made to lynch Ray on his return to the Southern State. This charge was amply proven by attorneys for Ray. On August 2nd, the National Office received the following telegram from Mr. McKinney: "Michigan's greatest governor revokes warrant in Ray case. Revocation of warrant ends case. Ray is free and released. If desired, will send governor's opinion. Most wonderful I ever heard." The National Office immediately wired Governor Groesbeck, expressing the appreciation of all of its members for the brave action taken by him. The case was handled principally by the Detroit Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and Messrs. Willis and Hinton, while valuable assistance was rendered by the local churches and other bodies of Detroit. The National Office twice sent Assistant Secretary White to Michigan to testify regarding conditions in southern states—once before Governor Sleeper, and once when the motion for a writ of habcas corpus was heard in the Wayne County Circuit Court. It is felt that the action of Governor Groesbeck is one of the greatest achievements of its kind in the history of such cases, for it is an indication of the growing feeling in northern states that the life of a colored man accused of a crime against a white man is unsafe in the south. Successful prosecution of these cases, it is felt, will do much toward convicing officers of the law and courts in southern states that prisoners accused of crimes must be protected. ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION PROFFERS AID IN HAITIAN PROBE Upon the announcement that the Senate had adopted the McCormick resolution to inquire into the occupation and administration of the territories of the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, placed at the disposal of the Senate Committee all of the data and material regarding the American occupation of Haiti. In making this offer, Mr. Johnson made the following statement today: It will be remembered that the first general knowledge of the action of the United States Government in seizing without cause the Republic of Haiti, usurping all governmental function, and through the Marines, murdering during the course of five years of American occupation, more than 3,000 Haitians, was the publication in 1920 of the investigation made by this association. Since these facts were first brought into the light, the association has worked uneasily for a Congressional investigation, as it was felt strongly that only in this manner could the real facts be secured. The official white-wash of the action of the Marines, which investigation was made by the officers of the Navy, at the direction of Josephus Daniels, at that time Secretary of the Navy, served only to increase the feeling among the Haitians and others of our neighbors to the south of us, that the American Government and the American people indorsed the various exploitation of a weaker Republic. "Every American who wishes to see America's name cleared of this stain will be glad to know of the Congressional investigation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is placing all of its records and all information it possesses at the disposal of the Committee, and will render all possible assistance in securing the facts." Mr. Johnson returned to New York from Washington today, where he has been in conference with members of Congress. He will return to Washington to testify when the hearings are held. SENATOR CAPPER PLEDGES SUPPORT OF DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from Senator Arthur Capper of, Kansas, pledging his support to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, now pending before Congress. The letter was written by Senator Capper in response to one sent by the association asking that the Dyer bill be endorsed and supported. Senator Capper's letter follows: "I have your letter of the 28th instant, relative to the hearing in connection with anti-lynching legislation. I have read the evidence with great interest. The showing in support of legislation of this kind is very strong. "I believe I need not assure you of my sympathy with the movement to put a stop to lynchings and mob violence. I am anxious to render every assistance I can in that direction, and shall do all I can looking to the passage of proper federal laws covering the situation. "With kind regards, I am." "Very respectfully; ARTHUR CAPPER." DENIES WRIT AS PEONAGE CHARGE IS UNPROVEN. Attempt to Free 16-Year-Old Colored American Charged With Violation of Contract Fails. Atlanta, August 6.—A writ of habeas corps, asked for by Hooper Alexander, United States district attorney, in the name of the federal government, in the case of Dave Worthy, a sixteen-year-old colored American, who, it is charged, was about to be forced into peonage, was denied by Federal Judge, Samuel H. Sibley. The boy was held by the Atlanta police on a warrant sworn out against him by L. E. Millsaps of Pike County, who charged the colored American had obtained advance money from him for some work and then left the county without carrying out his contract. Judge Sibley held that in the absence of any evidence of peonage the federal court had no jurisdiction over the validity of a state warrant, and ordered the colored American remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Pike County. Mr. Millsaps testified he did not want the boy to work for him again, but only wanted him returned to Pike County for punishment for violation of contract. ANTI-KU KLUX KLAN FORMED IN TEXAS. Beaumont, Texas.—To "shoot down like a mad dog" any man found to be a member of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, an organization calling itself "a mob," is being formed in southeast Texas, and today has "more than 100 fearless men" members, according to a letter in the hands of a local newspaper. The "communique extraordinary" was addressed to the local "regular" Klan and signed "Anti-Ku Klux Klan of Southeast Texas." Members of the "regular" Klan are threatened with summary punishment by "special service men" of the anti-Klan going in "squads of twelve to The letter says: "We have waited patiently for the officers to do their duty, but it seems they have not the nerve or desire to place under arrest members of your Klan who violate the law. We have formed a club, or a mob, you may call it, of more than one hundred fearless men, and we are going to stop you people with hot lead and cold steel at the first opportunity, and that will not be far off. We have sworn vengeance on such people, and will shoot down like a mad dog men whom we learn to be members of this Klan. We are going through you like a bull through a pile of shucks. We are in squads, of twelve to twenty-five men, and will gang up on any occasion to meet you people at any time or place that we are notified you are to parade or do your dirty work. There are going to be many widows and orphans left in southeast Texas if the gang is not disbanded upon reading of this notice."

It appears that he is of such fair complexion as to be easily mistaken for a white man. In fact, the clerk at Providence erroneously listed him as a white man and changed the designation to "colored" at Bird's suggestion. In spite of that correction, Bird was sent to the 58th Infantry, at Camp Lewis, Wash: On reporting at the camp he found that the 58th was a white organization, and notified the commanding officer that he was a colored man, whereupon he was assigned to special duty. Despite this record, Bird subsequently was discharged from the military service on the alleged, ground of "fraudulent enlistment." After full investigation of the case Bird's story was fully corroborated and his record changed to show that he had been "honorably" "discharged."

I wonder if you are awake fo the high ‘callirig of your profession, to its responsibilities and opportunities? “We are often told that’ the call to teach is sacred, ‘the most influential any one can. follow, because in ex- ercising it one may, guide and: mold young thought and influence young dives. The teacher needs to be high- “thoughted and inspiring, If you have risen to this vantage ground, to this post ‘of honor, you surely wish to fill it*worthily. ‘ Be sure you have something defi- nite to teach; be sure you undersjand your subject and: know how-to present it. You.must be filled with the ided. that you have the beautiful art of music to impart to others, be filled with it and. enthusiastic: over it. Only then’ will your ‘enthausiasm overflow to others. Without: enthusiasm your . work ‘will be’ cold and déad. Of what stise is’ the _profoundest,, theoretical kriBwledge, coypied with wide musical learning, without the torch of en- thusiasm ‘to kindle the light in others. To have ’this enthusiasm you must sloye your work—love every bit of it, even the so-called dry deatils of teach- ing the rudiments to beginners. There ‘should be nothing dry ‘or soulless about it, not even about the first lés- sons; ‘the. beginning’ should be of ab- sorbing interest, aS great as to teach the mést brilliant solo.” There are no little things; every principle is impor- tant.’ If we would only remember this, we would take.as lively interest in presenting the technical steps ‘to " piano mastery as to teach repertoire. The vital question is::Do you know every step of:the way you are trying to lead the pupil? Is it the best way, the most advanced. in “thought, the most logical? Does it bring results? In the present state of world con- ditions, the calling of the teacher of mitsic is more important, higher and more sacred than it ever Was before’ Music is one of the greatest forces: to uplift asid cheer. We cannot do with- ‘out it: Keep up your classes. | In- spire your pupils with’ your own en- thusiasm. Do inore: than you. have ever done to urge regularity, studi- ousness, thorough study and enjoy- ment.through music. : “Remember your pupils are not only learning their’ music frony you, but they Jearn many other things besides: ‘That is one reason why you cultivate yourself in many ways outside of mu- sic. That-is why you have need for enthusiasm in your work, - THOMAS H. ROBINSON IS DEAD Employed .By the Interstate Com- “ merce Commission for.

He. was an honest, 'faith- ful and conscientious employee, and established a record, unique among government employees, of never tak- ing a day's sick leave from the date of his“ appointment until he! was stricken’ with his fatal illness jsome four’ weeks ago.” " In addition to the above; it should be stated ‘that Mr. Robinson was es- teemed by those who knew him, and his record -for faithfulness to : duty is, an“example, worthy to be followed.
