Washington Bee

The Washington Bee Must Get Together Government Protection The Editor: I guess you realize that we are not getting as much protection today from the Government as we did thirty (30) years ago. It is scarcely a day that the head lines of the daily press don't show that our people are used as a target. This should not be. It is not a job imposed on any one person but every Colored American in the country, man, woman and child should see that it is stopped. The Colored American Press plays a large part in solving the many ills suffered by American people and the shortcomings of the American Congress, than any other agency. And since this movement will bring us closer together, all having the same common interest and receiving the same benefit, it is sincerely hoped that you will publish the news we send you and give it all the display you possible can each week until the convention is over. I hope you will agree with me, that organization is what we want. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives of the American Congress. We want to elect 435 district organizers at this convention, whose duty it will be to organize their congressional districts and elect men to come to the American Congress who will stand for the protection of the Colored American. It will be the duty of the representative who will stay in Washington, D. C., to forward bulletins to the various districts (435) so as to show the vote of the representatives in the American Congress on questions or stands they take for the protection of American citizens regardless of their race. Unless we get together, the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States will be repealed, Jim Crow car law and mob violence will continue to grow and finally will become prevalent in every State in the Union. It is time to stop it—we need your assistance. Very truly; Francis Wells, President Blain Invincible Republican Club, 1908 Ninth St. N. W., Washington, D. C. SHALL THE AMERICAN CONGRESS STILL FAIL TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE COLORED AMERICAN? The Blaine Invincible Republican Club of Washington, D. C., looks for action in emergencies created by mob violence, lynching, Jim Crow car law, nonenforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution of the United States and the civil rights act. Shall the services of Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, Ben Wade, Wendall Phillips and many others be forgotten, when they offered their lives for the government of the people by the people and for the people to make it mean all it should mean to the people, both white and black? The time is here when we have to remind the American Congress that we are cognizant of the obligation they owe us. It was the good old Republican party which saw that a government could not peacefully flourish by dealing absolute justice to some of its people and stintingly deal out justice to at least 12,000,000 of its most reliable American citizens. We are soliciting the support of every person, every church, every society, every association, every club and every organization in every town, city and county in the United States to affiliate with the Blaine Invincible Republican Club, which has been in existence in the National Capital since 1874. We want to have delegates to represent every congressional district. Our only protection from the American Government will be the result of organization. The convention will organize all Colored American forces in the United States to advocate protection of Colored American's interest, life, liberty and happiness. The convention will be called to meet at 12 o'clock noon on November 30, 1921, and on the first Monday in December the convention will have prepared and made ready to place before Congress the results of their deliberations. It is earnestly requested that every church, society association, club, and organization will make arrangements for the election of delegates and forward the same to Francis Wells, President, 1908 Ninth Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. BOARD OF CHURCH EXTEN- SION OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH. Rev. J. C. McEaddy and Officers and Members of Turner Memorial, A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. Dear Brethren and Sistera: Your letter sent me by your Church Clerk, Mr Elliot, was read and carefully considered. If you recall, I stated to your committee, that waited upon me a few weeks ago, that if your members were disposed to go to work in earnest and do your part, you would not be working in vain, WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY AUGUST 27, 1921 and Turner would not be sold. Since talking with your committee, the facts were presented to the Trustees of the Baltimore Conference, and a committee from the board met in the office of the Church Extension yesterday, and we counselled together. They realize the heavy burden that it would be for your little band to shoulder this obligation alone, and they have come to your rescue. They have assured me, and asked me to assure you, that they will stand behind you in your efforts and assist you to make these payments. They are desirous that you rally to do our utmost in raising all the money you can by the time stated December 5th, 1921; and they will help you. Now we wish all the members of Turner Memorial to feel encouraged to do and inspire others to join you, to build up this work, and that harmony may exist, for only through such a source will Turner Memorial be able to take her place as one among the leading churches of Washington. Having confidence in your decision to do so, as stated in your letter of August 8th, we feel assured that the members of Turner will go to work with a greater zeal and will show the Trustees of the Baltimore Conference and Church Extension, that though you are small in number now, you are great in determination to preserve Turner Memorial, by your work. We shall expect to hear from you by December 5th, 1921. Yours for the success of Turner Memorial, both financially and numerically. Do not fail to do your best! Very truly yours, B. F. WATSON, Secretary-Treasurer. J. L. MARTIN. "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.

Classes and clubs for study are being formed for the next fall season and those desiring to enter these are urged to register as soon as possible. A delegation of the New England Federation, of which Miss Elizabeth C. Carter is president, and which has been meeting in Baltimore visited the Phyllis Wheatley building on Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Harriet B. Thomas, a Christian Science practitioner of Springfield, Mass., visited visited the Y. W. C. A. this week. The Athletic Club had a very interesting program for Vespers last Sunday. Miss Belle Davis, executive secretary of the Circle for Negro Relief of New York, was the speaker on the subject of health education. She told of her work in the north and south in a most interesting manner, of the success in creating health centers in local, county and state units, giving inspiration for health activities. The nurses attended the session of the National Nurse Association were highly pleased with the Y. W. C. A. to which they made a donation of $15 that will be used to purchase something permanent for the building. Ask to see it when you come in. The residence accommodation in the Phiplis Wheatley for forty-four was so stretched as to house more than double that number, giving entire satisfaction, which proves that the management of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. has gotten efficiency down to a fine point. The Sadie R. Johnson room, a suite with bath, was the most popular room in the building, being occupied by members of the executive committee of the National Association of Nurses. As for the cafeteria, it was delightful to behold the buzzing scene and overflow filling even the entrance. Those who have received personal invitation to the cafeteria will now understand the reference to "New York." NOBLE OFFICIALS OF THE LAW PREVENT LYNCHING IN MASSACHUSETTS. Guards Did Not Surrender—Stick to Duty. (Special to The Washington Bee.) Wareham, Aug. 18. - this town at midnight presented a scene unique in the modern history of Massachusetts. For several blocks around the town lockup was massed a crowd of men and women. estimated at more than 250, and a score or more of automobiles. The street lights were turned off at 12 and the only light was supplied by the lamps of automobiles and lanterns carried by residents of outlying places. A bright moon shone over the crowd which at 1 o'clock had not yet become a mob. The crowd was made up of groups of from three or four to a score. In front of the crowd and surrounding the lockup were armed policemen, many of them in conversation with those nearest them and all of them on the qui vive for a possible rush. Prisoner Identified. The crowd collected by groups after word had gone around that John Dies, 21, a Brava or Cape Verde Island colored man, had been arrested charged with larceny of an automobile and subsequently identified by William Eldredge of Buzzards Bay, as one of the three men who had held up him and Miss Gertrude Butler Tuesday night in that place and after forcing them at the point of a revolver to get into an automobile, drove to a lonely spot near the Lakecroft Inn, robbed him and each in turn assaulted Miss Butler while her escort was held helpless. Early in the evening crowds began to gather in Bourne, Bournedale, Onset, and Wareham and many threats were heard against Dies. At midnight the crowds had arrived at the lockup. After some discussion one of the groups appointed one of their members as spokesman. He approached a guard and proposed that Dies be given to the crowd, which would take him to Buzzards Bay, a distance of some ten miles, where he would be confronted with Miss Butler. The spokesman promised that no harm would come to the prisoner until he had been positively identified by Miss Butler as one of her assailants. Guard Refuses Request. The proposal was met with a refusal. The guard said that he did not wish trouble, but that he and his fellows were there to guard the prisoner until he could be arraigned in court and that they intended to do their duty. Several times during the evening and early morning the guards argued with the members of the crowd whom they knew, urging them to go to their homes. At 1:40 a. m. the crowd was startled by six revolver shots. It was said that a brother of the girl had jumped for a window of the lockup and the guard had fired into the air to prevent further demonstrations. Father in Crowd. In one section of the crowd was the father of Miss Butler. He did not urge violence. He seemed to be overcome by the tragedy that had befallen his daughter. Following the arrest of Dies, Chief of Police Smith, who had known the temper of the countryside, swore in a number of special policemen, armed them and placed them around the lockup to aid the regular police. These policemen were acquainted with members of the crowd, and their urging, it is thought, helped to prevent an outbreak. About 11 o'clock last night Chief of Police Smith took another man into custody and questioned him at the police station; which is about a mile from the lockup. All that could be learned about him is that he is known as "Benny." Shortly after midnight a rumor passed through the crowd that Dies was not in the lockup, that he had been spirited away by Chief Smith and taken in a closed automobile to the town of Barnstable. The attitude of the guards either belied the rumor, or they were pretty good actors and maintained their posts in order to keep the crowd from moving upon the Barnstable jail or going in pursuit of the chief and his prisoner. The crime was committed in Barnstable County, while Wreham is in Plymouth County. This fact added weight to the rumor that the prisoner would be brought to the Barnstable jail. "THE WILD GOOSE IS COMING" (Continued From Last Week.) That evening after sundown, but before dark, when his colored peons were putting up their mules and feeding and milking, John Elliot, tied up in the hay, loft of his own barn, could overhear his servants discussing the manhunt and Jim and himself. Elliot was amazed at the accurateness of the knowledge of these semislaves, and reddened unseen at some of the compliments he heard paid to himself. However, he uttered not a word, and scarcely dared to breathe, least he innocently betray his involuntary hiding place. He well knew that in Jim, death, fearless death, had his eye on him. Night came on, and as her husband was not at home by 11 o'clock, Mrs. Elliot phoned an inquiry to the plantation storekeeper at the little village square. She was informed that Mr. Elliot had driven up in front of the store in the earlier part of the night; that he did not get out, but ordered certain provisions brought out to his car, and told the clerk to inform Mrs. Elliot, if she inquired, that he was driving to Augusta, twelve or fifteen miles away, and might possibly not return till morning. The clerk added that there were several other people in the back of the automobile. Why had he not told her himself—and earlier? The wife had forebodings. "Where is Aunt Katy?" she inquired. "She went to see Essie and Mary, M'm, d'rectly after supper," a servant informed her. Yes, Mrs. Elliot remembered hearing Aunt Katy vow that she would spend her next two nights in the cabin with her "chillun, and see if any po' white trash dared to touch 'em." A little later Mrs. Elliot retired and dreamed a disturbing dream. William, it seemed to her, was a little boy again. He had fallen into a deep well. Aunt Katy and Essie were doing their best to rescue him with a long rope; but every time they got him near the top of the well, some white person of a crowd that stood nearby would cut the rope so that William would drop back, and the shortened rope would make it more difficult for the struggling women to reach him next time. Somehow, as is, the horror of dreams, Mrs. Elliot seemed spellbound against rendering aid, and was dumb to protest. Finally, the likeness of John Elliot rushed up to lend a hand to the-rescue, and suddenly, as if against his will, a knife appeared in his hand and he himself cut the rope short from the hands of the two despairing women. The dreamer, Mrs. Elliot, was struggling against numbness and dumbness for freedom to move or shriek, when—— "Scuse me, Mis' Ellyut, fer wakin' yo' so early," a servant was saying with the best effort at the English, "but Mr. Brough is hyeah, an' he sez he jes' hafter speak ter yo' at once." What was wrong? Brough? A bad omen in all this trouble for years. She hurried to dress partially, and went to the sitting room, where she was confounded by the one-eyed mobleader and two other hard-looking men. "Pardon, Madam," one of them began as they observed her honestly puzzled mien, "but we wonder if you can tell us where Mr. Elliot has gone and what he has gone for." This wounded her pride more than was intended, for in very truth she did not know. At any rate, she parried: "And pray what is that to you?" as she eyed Brough haughtily and suspicibly. "Well, Madam, to be plain and brief," retorted Brough, "we've just driven to Augusta to make sure, and we find that he or somebody just like him left on the 10:30 train for Missouri by the Iron Mountain Railroad—and what's more," he now spoke maliciously and with curling lips, "he carried the old n—r woman, Essie, and the other little wench with him. Did you know they were gone?" This was truly a moment of trial for Mrs. Elliot. The ring of triumph in Brough's voice annoyed her, but it also aroused her Bourbon blood, which resents the encroachment of "po' white trash" even more than the familiarity of "n—rs." Therefore, she deliberately accepted the challenge with the simple reply: "It's a lie!" But when a rude man has the advantage which Brough thought he had, he can afford to be generous, which he translates into being more deliberately disregarding her excitement, he coolly continued: "When I heard he was driving to town with female in his car, I got suspicious. I sent my n—r to the cabin, and nobody answered when he knocked. Then we went there after midnight and broke in. The wenches were not there, and some of your n—rs told us the old woman was not at the Big House and that Elliot was not at home. "We drove as fast as we could to Augusta to investigate, and—" "Oh, Mis' Ellyut, Marse Ellyut sez sen' him some clo'es to the big barn quick, an' he done tol' me ter tell yo' he'll be hyeah right away!" The proud matron' now looked upon the three, confused men with the anger of a tigress. No words accompanied that look. No words were adequate to accompany it. Her scorn was ineffable, but mingled with amazement, doubt and fear, Commanding the excited servant to follow her, Mrs. Elliot hurried into a room and returned with a suit of Elliots clothes. Brough and his men followed her hurried footsteps to the barn, where they remained outside with the others while she went inside to find her husband. When the landlord emerged from his humiliating confinement, his anger was consuming. "The damned brute caught me here at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Tied me in the loft! Took my clothes! Left his rags and ran off!" He added some fiery words, but did not give other details of the evening's transaction. "That explains all," said Brough, quickly. "He and the n——r women are on their way North. We must wire the governor and have them headed off." "The stole my car," said Elliot, who had been talking with Mrs. Elliot. "They all ought to be sent to jail, and that dangerous Negro Jim should be lynched!" "He will be!" shouted Brough. The manhunt then became statewide and almost national. Don't Miss Next Week's Installment of This Story. (Copyright, 1921, by William Pickens. Released Exclusively by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service: All Rights Reserved.) McGuire May Be an Old Irish Name but McGarvey is a Still Older One. The second week of the International Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was initiated into being by the regular opening exercises with the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey in the chair. A motion to suspend the order of the day and take up legislation was lost by an overwhelming majority and the regular order of the day became the program and following delegates and deputies made reports of conditions in their respective sections. Dr. W. O. Harper of Youngstown, Ohio, Division, first spoke, followed by Hon. Napoleon, Francis, deputy and representative from Haiti, who outlined the conditions in the Black Republic very forcefully and leaving a lasting impression on his hearers. Hon. W. J. Prendergast of West Virginia, was called on as well as the Hon. George D. Creese, deputy from Sydney, Nova Scotia, who has all the qualifications of a gentleman and an earnest worker in the cause of the U. N. I. A. Others who spoke and made reports of conditions were as follows: Hon. J. A. O'Mealley of the Island of Jamaica, who rendered a thorough and interesting report; Hon. Florida. Lee Jenkins of Karsas, Kan.; Hon. R. F. Austin, President Brooklyn Division; Hon. T. H. Golden, deputy from Alberta, Canada, all made interesting and instructive reports of conditions in their districts. Assistant Secretary General. Hon. J. B. Yearwood, read a report from the office of the Secretary General for the year which was thorough and of much value to the deputies and delegates. A report, showing among other items of information that the organization had increased to 418 chartered divisions with 19 chapters and 422 probationary ones yet to be chartered. Only 45 members are reported dead out of the vast membership of this great organization. After reading of the minutes at the afternoon session, Rev. R. H. Tobbitt, leader of the east- ern province of the West Indian Islands, and a member of the High Executive Council; read his report which was exhaustive and all of the provinces he had visited during the year. The most interesting feature of the afternoon session was the personal reading of his resignation as Assistant President General of the U. N. I. A., by Dr. J. D. Gordon, of California, he giving sixteen reasons for submitting the same. A lively debate ensued before the resignation was received and referred to a committee which was instructed by the chair to investigate the reasons assigned by Dr. Gordon and report at the next session of the Convention. The evening public session was made extremely interesting when his excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, introduced Mr. James A. McCurrien (white), representing The National Committee of the Friend of Irish Freedom. His address was most interesting and by the frequent applause from the audience, it was quite evident that the aims and objects of the two great peoples are identical, and that their efforts are mutual. The response to this address was made by Dr. G. A. McGuire, the Chaplain General of the U. N. I. A. Every night will be devoted to a rally for the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation and prominent speakers will be assigned by Mr. Garvey to conduct the campaign. Dr. J. W. H. Eason was assigned last night and showed his usual ability as a campaigner. Mr. Garvey announced he would take Thursday night, assigning Dr. McGuire for tonight—Tuesday. CHURCHES UNITE FOR BETTER RACE RELATIONS. Hampton, Va., Aug. 18.—The recent riot in Tulsa, the reported activities of the Ku Klux Klan, and the disclosures concerning colored Americans give timeliness to the creation of a commission on colored American Churches and Race Relations by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The purpose of this action is to consolidate the influence of the churches in bringing about better relations between the white and the colored races. The first meeting of the new commission was recently held in Washington, D. C., under the chairmanship of John J. Eagan, of Atlanta, who is president of the Atlanta Council of Churches and one of the leading Christian layman in the South. A vice chairman is to be named from the colored American churches. The commission is made up of about one hundred leading representatives of the white and colored churches, the majority being residents of the South. The whole day was spent in discussing the distinctive contribution of the churches to bettering relations between the races. It was agreed that the Church, being committed to the principle that humanity is an organism, cannot accept as a satisfactory solution the theory that interracial conflict is inevitable, or that the races should be segregated from each other, or that they should be amalgamated, or that any one race is meant to have special privileges, which are to be denied to others. The Christian solution lies in the races living together in mutual helpfulness, service, and goodwill. "The problem of race," said Dr. Robert E. Speer, president of the council, at the opening meeting, "are the most difficult of mankind. They make the most searching tests of our ideals and principles. We, as Christians, reject the theory of conflict and force as means of solving these problems. We reject the theory of separation as a solution. We must work out the problems of the white and colored American races together. We are all committed to the idea that cooperative good-will can solve these problems." The following statement was unanimously adopted as expressing the general program of work for the commission: "To assert the sufficiency of the Christian solution of race relations in America and the duty of the Churches and all their organizations to give the most careful attention to this question. "To provide a central clearinghouse and meeting-place for the churches and for all Christian agencies dealing with the relation of the white- and colored American races, and to support their activities along this line; "To promote mutual confidence and acquaintance, both nationally and locally, between the white and colored American churches, especially by state and local conferences between white and colored American ministers, Christian educators and other leaders, for the consideration of their common problems; "To array the sentiment of the Christian Churches against mob violence and to enlist their through-going support in a special program of $1.00 SECURES A LOT 10% in 15 days—Balance in 15 month 10% Discount for Cash Easiest Way—Start from the ground arden has been declared to be a valuable y and Nervous Complaints. the altitude and pine-scented breezes and weak lungs. able to be present may be represented seeing Mr. Scott. being formed especially to aid those Get a Home in the Easiest Way—Start from the ground up.

The members received with gladness the statement from the pastor, that the church is to be entirely backed by the Trustees of the Baltimore Conference, A. M. E. Church. This information was contained in a letter from Rev. B. F. Watson, Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Church Extension of the Church Extension Society of the A. M. E. Church, under date line of August 20, 1921. This means conclusively that the church will not pass into the hands of another denomination. The election of trustees was held Tuesday night, 23rd. The result will be announced in a later issue of The Bee. Turner Memorial is moving forward, and the officers, members, well wishers and friends are bending every --- education on the subject for a period of at least five years; "To secure and distribute accurate knowledge of the of the facts regarding racial relations and racial attitudes in general, and regarding particular situations that may be under discussion from time to time; "To develop a public conscience, which will secure to the colored American equitable provision for education, health, housing, recreation, and all other aspects of community welfare; "To make more widely known in the churches the work and principles of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, and especially to support its efforts to establish local interracial committees; and "To secure the presentation of the problem of race relations and of the Christian solution by white and colored American speakers at as many church gatherings as possible throughout the country." The Commission on interracial Cooperation, is a voluntary group of individuals, both white and colored, in the South, who have been co-operating in developing interracial committees in local communities for the purpose of promoting good will between the races. The Federal Council's new commission has as one of its definite aims the strengthening of the influence of the churches in support of this movement. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, recently accepted membership on the council's new commission. "Peace and Harmony, Progress and Prosperity." "Come thou and go with us; and we will do thee good!" The Sunday School was well attended, as usual. Supt.

The course is extended over a period of two years, classes to be held at night, thereby permitting students to work during the day. Students are eligible for the degree of Doctor of Optometry. Registrations for the fall term now being made. For further information call or write the Secretary. Dr. Edward Jacobs 810 Florida Avenue, N. W. Washington, D. would have had to continue had not the instructor directed his men to change to something else, which was just as highly appreciated. About 10:30 o'clock the display of the latest fashions were put before the public. The display was not as large as it had been planned, due to the fact that some of the fashions were unable to keep the appointment, but those who were there were certainly in style. The show was led out by the fashions of little folks, which consisted of five, and the adults followed. The next was a fancy dance by two small girls, which was done in perfect style. The next number on the program was a song, "Margie," sung by one of the little folks dressed in blue. The next number among the same folks was a dance, including steps of all the fancy and latest dances of today, well demonstrated by a little girl of six years old, the niece of Mrs. Edna Wilkinson Perry, little Miss Edythe Wilkinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilkinson. The people were more than pleased, and aimed to show this by having her appear twice in order to repeat some of the steps. After this number three prizes were given, one to the best dressed lady, one to the best dressed man and one to the small folks. The first prize was five dollars; second, three dollars, and third, two dollars. The third prize was won by little Miss Wilkinson for the wonderful display of steps which were demonstrated to the tunic of the melodies played by the jazzers, as her aunt, Mrs. Perry, demonstrated the night of the Polly-anna fashion show. Dancing by every one was again taken up, until "Home, Sweet Home" was played, and each one expressed the enjoyment they had had during the evening.

The Christian use of money is to show how it effects the environment of God's poor to better conditions. Philanthropists, there are many among us, in making your charity budget for 1921-22, please include the Day Nursery in your altruistic activities. Let us awaken a new spirit in our community life, seek the needy institutions like the Day Nursery and remit financial contributions for maintenance, as often as possible; by so doing you will encourage the workers, and greatly help the little ones placed under our care by their parents. We urge our ministers to keep the Day Nursery before their congregations. They are the leaders of the people in all social problems and can do much in establishing the principles of Jesus, as a social worker, as set forth in the New Testament. "We are enjoined to bear one another's burdens. The responsibility resting upon our people, the caring for the neglected and needy little ones in our midst is great. Let us not minimize the moral and spiritual opportunity at our door These children are our very own. The leadership is engaging in such a work, is helping the church. If the children are neglected they will be a curse and not a blessing. The maintenance of the Day Nursery is a gigantic movement. It is the Lord's work. The question should be asked: Shall Christianity or his Satanic majesty, do the seed planting in this young, precious human soil? As we observe from day to day, while at the nursery, many a father and mother would be greatly handicapped in their day's work, if no Day Nursery were available for their children. This is a haven to which they are brought. Here they are fed, nursed and protected, while the parents are at their daily work. Observe this. Not only does the mother bring her babe, but the young father too. He, as the young mother returns in the afternoon and with a happy smile takes his little one in his arms to his home. This is often the case where both husband and wife are employed away from home. At this point, we call upon young men to take notice and send the executive secretary a contribution for the Day Nursery. Friends, you see it is worth while to do more in a practical way, for this cause, to make this work for the children strong and far reaching. We need larger and better facilities a play ground yard and equipment for the little boys and girls who are old enough to play. All of this will materialize if you will help Dr. and Mrs. Waldron in their great work for our children. CONGRATULATIONS The Bee congratulates Mr. and Mrs. McLaurin on their return from an extensive tour by automobile.

With several representatives in residential appointees, we remained content drew our solid support to the party. This The loyalty of the race to the party of Sumner and Lincoln has been unprecedented. With several representatives in Congress and a few presidential appointees, we remained contented and for forty years threw our solid support to the party. This was done regardless of the fact that during this time there was a constantly growing apathy in the ranks of the Republican party toward us, which was kept under control until the time of President McKinley. Up to then there had been a breach between the north and south, and all recognized it. Both the north and south felt it was due to the bitterness resulting from the civil war. The south was defiant but accepted her fate as her just deserts. The north made no impositions on the south. She only attempted to maintain the standard and spirit of respect for laws necessary to the preservation of the government. This definance of the south was regarded as stubbornness such as characterizes the conduct of a proud boy who has rebelled, and forced into obedience. When President McKinley was inaugurated he appointed more colored men to office than any President before or since his time. He also appointed more southern white men to office than any Republican chief executive since the war. In this and other ways he hoped to cement the brach which then existed between the two sections. He thought it-was necessary for the good of the country and that it would be received by the south in the same manner. But, on the contrary once given free reigns the sons of Dixie started on a stampede as a herd of cattle, trampling the laws and rights of men under foot with a beastly lust unbelievable. President Roosevelt, who succeeded the lamented McKinley, checked the stampede because he was a fearless, determined and just executive. But when President Taft was inaugurated there was a change for the worse, which has gradually increased in intensity, paving the way for the Wilson program and that of the lilly white Republicans of today. There was a protest which developed in the form of an indorsement of the late Senator J. B. Foraker during the summer of 1908, but died out when the fighting senator withdrew from the race for President. Four years later, after Wilson was nominated, Bishop Walters and others asked him if he (Wilson) could offer relief should colored people support him. We all know too well his reply, as told, in letters on the subject, to Bishop Walters and Monroe Trotter and the course he followed after election. Again, we know the promises of the Republican party last year in seeking our undivided support of the Harding and Coolidge ticket. We also know Harding's own personal promises. Will Harding keep his promises? We hope so. Will the Republican party keep their promises? They have not so far. If they do not what recourse have we? The ballot? If so, who will we vote for? Here comes the rub. Neither party has the honor nor courage to live up to their sacred promise. Both are white parties. What alternative have we? The situation is intensified by the lack of real representative leaders. No reflection is cast on our leading politicians when it is asserted they are not real leaders for the new colored man. The race is developing along industrial, commercial and financial lines as never before. The new colored man knows nothing of failure. He is chiseling his way into every avenue of employment, and win- ning out. He is daily proving his worth and demands leaders who can attain for him the same results in political life the white business men receive. He is tired of having the buck passed to the white men. They are human. If the southern man can get next to men, why can't we? Something must be done. We are here and are building on this democratic structure. There is no such thing as "can't be done." It can and must. If those in charge cannot deliver, let them step aside. The S. O. S. call is sent abroad for help. Let the cowards, traitors, grafters, egotists, four-flushers and political traders get out of the way. Mothers and fathers search your home and your neighbor's home for a David; a young honest, fearless and good leader who will go forth and by real merit down the giant Goliath of the Klansman armies from the land of peonage. Let us with new strength and courage increase our efforts along financial, industrial, commercial and educational lines. Let our dollars and institutions impress the poor hungry members of Congress as do those of the southern Klansman. Let us stop begging for handouts and do some trading of real values. MICHIGAN GOVERNOR RELEASES RAY. Great Victory for Race and Justice; Blow to Lynching. (Special to the Washington Bee.) Lansing—Governor Groesbeck on Monday night last refused to grant extradition papers to the State of Georgia for the return of Thomas Ray, a colored American, held in Detroit for nearly a year, to answer for the alleged murder of Dewitt Faulkner, a white resident of Wilkinson, Ga. A week ago the Michigan Supreme Court refused to grant Ray a writ of habeas corpus, contending that he should be returned to Georgia to stand trial on extradition papers issued by former Governor Sleeper last fall. Immediately following this decision, Governor Groesbeck suspended the warrant issued by Governor Sleeper and ordered a rehearing. Because of the testimony and arguments presented, it was long past midnight before the hearing was ended and Ray freed. Fears Mob Action. This action was taken after G. L. Player, sheriff of Wilkinson County, admitted that he had never investigated the alleged murder and that the return of the prisoner was asked on a warrant sworn out by a brother of the slain man who had no firsthand knowledge of the alleged crime. The fact that there has been 140 lynchings in Georgia and that the only eye-witnesses to the shooting of Faulkner narrowly escaped from a mob by being removed to three different jails in one day had much to do with the governor's action. "I can not return this man to Georgia to have him turned over to a mob, and thus become a party to a crime," the governor said. It was contended by attorneys for Ray that, following his arrest here more than a year ago, the sheriff wired that he was to return on a certain train with the prisoner, and that a mob was on hand to meet the train, but the prisoner was not there. Groesbeck Explains. Ray's attorneys claimed that should he now be returned he would be lynched. To counter this claim, the governor of Georgia sent assurance to Governor Groesbeck that every power of the state would be put forth to insure the prisoner a fair trial. "It should not be necessary for the governor of one state to give assurance to the governor of another state that a prisoner for whom requisition papers were issued would be given a fair trial, as had been done in this case. "If the Governor of Georgia is ever confronted with requisition papers from the Governor of Michigan and he is not assured that the prisoner would be given a fair and impartial trial, then he should act as I have acted in this case." Allen P. Cox, Detroit attorney, who appeared for Georgia, argued that should the governor refuse extradition, Michigan would become the haven for all colored criminals of the South. May Reopen Case. Sheriff Player, when examined by the governor, said the shooting had never been investigated by his office. He said he believed a colored boy, produced by Ray as the only eye-witness to the shooting, told the truth when he said Ray shot in self-defense, after Faulkner had shot at him once. He told the governor that on one accasion a lynching in his county was reported to him. "I went out to investigate and found the man hanging by his neck, dead. I cut him down and paid $45 to have him buried." "Did you every investigate to find out who was responsible for the lynching?" asked the governor. The sheriff replied that he had not. Previously he had admitted that although he has lived in Georgia all his life, he has never heard of a white person being arrested for participating in the lynching or burning at a --- 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. PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA stake of a colored American. Ray was ordered released, and permission was given Georgia to reopen the case to present further evidence of it so desired. Colored Americans of United States Thank Governor. The following telegram was received from the New York office of the N. A. A. C. P., together with thousands of letters sent the governor for his wonder act of justice: Honorable Alexander J. Groesbeck State Court Liaison, Michigan State Capital, Lansing, Michigan. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wishes to extend to you on behalf of its 392 branches and 130,000 members its heartfelt appreciation for the brave and splendid stand taken by you in revoking the writ of extradition granted by your predecessor in office to return Thomas Ray to Georgia for trial. Your act is that of a man who, regardless of cost, has taken high ground in protecting the life and liberty of an American citizen. It stands as a monument to the American spirit of fair play and as a model for governors of other northern states to follow when southern mobs attempt to wreck their vengeance on American citizens. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary TRIED TO STEM FLOW OF "BLACK INVADER" (Special to The Bee.) The legal efforts of the West Harlem Property Owners' Association to prevent the influx of colored residents into their section from the "black belt," further north, met defeat when Supreme Court Justice Burr handed down a decision refusing to enjoin the owners of the Garden Courts, a group of nine apartments in St. Nicholas avenue, 118th and 119th Streets, from renting the apartments to colored families. Jacob Schoolhaus, Arthur V. Seaman and Isadore Anhault, white tenants and members of the association who applied for the injunction complained that the apartments occupied by the colored Americans were overcrowded and that their sanitary condition threatened disease to other occupants of the buildings. Argument on the application was heard by Justice Burr on August 4. The protesting tenants asserted that the owner of the buildings, Edward W. Browning and Charles Klein, his lessee, were attempting to convert the properties into colored American lodging houses, renting the apartments by the week and furnished to colored Americans solicited by advertisements in out of town papers, and that the motive for this step was a defeat in the municipal court when they attempted to advance the rents. They hoped by introducing the colored Americans to force out the recalcitrant white tenants, it was alleged. Justice Burr held in his decision that "there is no law in this State which prohibits a landlord from renting his apartments to tenants solely because of the race, creed or color of such tenants." He suggested that the board of health be told of any sanitary violations and that if the board does not act of its own accord the tenants might appeal to the court again for a writ of mandamus compelling the board to do its duty.

Aside from the regular laundry feature, rug weaving, shoe repairing and chair caning will be taught in rooms on the second floor of the building. Miss Nannie Burroughs, the principal, is working out the finer details and is leaving no stone unturned to see that every possible convenience is installed. Only the most improved machinery will be used, assuring high class service at the prevailing prices. Miss Burroughs intimated there was nothing too good in the way of training for the girls who attended her school, and emphasized the fact that the proper way to give them these exceptional opportunities was to place the best conditions in their reach. During the interview, Miss Burroughs stated that about twenty-five girls would be given employment in this new field, and that laundry trade of every description on the outside would be solicited, from the ordinary wet wash up to the finest done by hand. While no accurate information was Use Quinade Quinade is a medicated comade, scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more obliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co., 10 Greene street, New York City.

When Miss Burroughs was asked to what extent the community would be helped, she replied, "Our aim is to supply every demand the community wants in this respect, and to train those girls who desire this kind of education. From time to time we have applicants who ask for just such advantages." Though an enthusiast in her line of duty, Miss Burroughs' universality is quite noticeable and cannot be overlooked. JOHN A.

Mr. Brown set- tled here thirteen years ‘ago and by his industry, integrity-and genial na- ture, has arisen step by step until he js courited one of the leaders of the bar, with the high esteem of the judges and his: fellow practitioners.

In estimating the worth and practical serviceability of technical works, many points must be taken into consideration in order to establish the benefits which the student is to derive from the material contained therein, and, above all, to decide whether the works in question are thorough, artistic, complete and up to date. As every one who is at all acquainted with modern musical development knows, the present art era is one of unrest, remarkable development and liberal-mindedness as to progressive musical ideas, such as they would not have dared to dream of in bygone days. All this has also had its varied effects upon the teaching systems as employed in major music courses. It would seem, however, that this modern unrest, that craving desire to arrive at a maximum of results through a minimum of effort, the inborn desire of the vast majority to do things as QUICKLY as possible, even at the sacrifice of thoroughness and completeness, have also left a mark upon our instructive vocations, our entire systems of teaching, and, in turn, upon many of our instructive works, a large percentage of which seems to be based on the general popular desire to arrive at perfection and success at utmost speed. The desire to learn anything speedily is rammful; exceedingly so. One young lady with a proffer as church organist, who had never performed on a pipe organ previously, procured an organ teacher and attempted to learn in a few weeks (in preparation GLENDALE, DEANWOOD AND LINCOLN HEIGHTS NEWS.

Another anxious soul comes to study the piano or singing, and the first thing they want to know is: "How soon before I can play or sing sheet music?" Say, "Two or three years" and then bid good-bye forever to that prospect, as that's your obituary. That anxious soul is going to some one who would promise an early success. Whether or not it is obtainable is another question. Thus, impatience sounds the death knell to many an ambitious music student, the foolish desire to accomplish within ONE MONTH what requires possibly months or years of conscientious application. I would not discourage the least among you, but rather give this incentive: TALENT WITH AMBITION AND ASPIRATION COMBINED WITH PERSEVERANCE WILL BRING THE REWARD SO RICHLY DESERVED. It is owing to this faulty fundamental idea, craving maximum results through a minimum of effort, that so many instructive works conceived along such lines are forgotten almost as quickly as they appear, and while creating more or less of a temporary ripple, fail to add anything of merit to what has already been accomplished along instructive achievements. Teachers who encourage such works, and who are anxious to advance with the times, are frequently disappointed in finding advice possible under such circumstances is either to become more critical as to selection of works or fall back upon their established repertoire of instructive material generally.
