Nominated Candidate for Governor By the Republican State Convention Held in Richmond, Va.,
The Republican voters of Virginia held a representative convention in the City of Richmond, at True Reformers' Hall, on last Monday. It was truly representative. The delegates were elected by the aroused people of the state, and were not hand picked. Never before in the history of the state have the people been more careful in electing their real leaders for the oncoming affray. The meeting was presided over by State Chairman J. R. Pollard, and W. B. Pollard of Roanoke, Va., temporary chairman; W. H. Price, secretary.

The Committee on Platform, J. Thomas Newsome, chairman, reported as the platform for the Republican party for the State of Virginia, the edicts and principles which were unanimously adopted by the convention on motion by Mr. J. R. Pollard under second of delegate Glenn of the Third District which platform reads as follows:
The Washington Bee
School
The Platform.
The Republican party of Virginia, in State Convention, assembled in the City of Richmond, the fifth day of September, 1921, having full faith and confidence, in the principles of Republicanism as declared by the founders of the National Republican party, and adhered to by such leaders as Lincoln Frederick Douglass, and the great Theodore Roosevelt, pledges undivided allegiance to those principles as the bed rock of our splendid institutions, and as the only certain guarantee of the liberty and future security of all the people of this country in the uncertain future that lies before us.
Franchise.
We hold that under a government where the sovereign power is lodged in the people, and exercised by them through the elective franchise, the right to vote is inseparable from the right to be voted for, and any attempt to separate these prerogatives is a dangerous political heresay, contrary to the genius of our Republic form of government and destructive of the ends and aims of a free people.
The history or the colored people in Virginia for the past twenty years attests the fact that they are by no means chronic office seekers, and therefore we denounce as a political subterfuge the pronouncement in the Republican platform in which it attempts by innuendo to assure the white electorate that it is opposed to colored American office holders, and thereby in its efforts to gain the support of a certain element of the white electorate, offers a gratuitous insult to the colored electorate at large.
to the colored states.
Recognizing the justice of the rule of the majority under a Republican form of government, we cheerfully subscribe to that rule, but at the same time we insist that the minority has rights which the majority under the Constitution cannot deny, and the citizen should not be deprived of any of the privileges vouchsafed him by the fundamental law, both State and National, because he belongs to a group numerically less than another group of our citizenry, or because of race, color, creed or religion.
We cannot believe that the great body of the God-fearing men and women whose labors and sacrifices have
made Virginia a distinguished member of the family of states, will subscribe to the sophistry that a class of our citizens who wrought mightily for her development for 250 years, and that, too, without a single pay day shall be denied the right to participate in the political affairs of the government and in party councils upon the untenable grounds that another group of citizens pays into the coffers, of the State the greater part of its revenues.
We believe, too, that character and experience are necessary qualities to be possessed by anyone offering for the suffrage of the electorate, but we fail to see how one can ever demonstrate the excellence of his character who never has been put to the test or gained experience in office which he is never allowed to hold.
We condemn as utterly evasive and wilfully misleading the attempt to confuse the participation of any group of people in politics with a desire to change the social understanding always existing between the races in this State, and while we respectfully and unreservedly demand to be treated as other citizens, with all the rights, privileges and immunities accorded them, including the rights to vote and to be voted for, still we resent the insinuation coming from certain sources that we desire or intend in any wise to disturb the very cordial relations existing between the races in Virginia.
And, in things purely political we desire nothing but a reign of righteousness and reason, and we feel that no group of men and women holding to the faith of Republicanism should be allowed to dominate, nor should it be excluded as a mere expedient to deceive the Democratic party to obtain votes. No mere expediency, however urgent the call for its exercise, should be allowed to disturb the asic principle of the party.
Education.
The Republican party believes in the education of all the people under a compulsory system, with better pay for teachers and longer terms for pupils in the rural districts.
TURNER MEMORIAL A. M. E.
CHURCH NEWS.
Peace, Harmony, Progress and Prosperity.
In last week's issue of The Bee the correspondent made an attack upon the former pastor of Turner. He regrets that, he was forced to do this and for the following reason: A committee of the trustees, the writer being a member, was sent to wait upon the gentleman. Previous to our going there, we sent him a most friendly letter, stating how he could adjust matters and bring peace to Turner, by simply complying with his part of an agreement with the former trustee board. He positively and absolutely refused to meet his obligation, but in its stead, he sent to the trustees a new proposition and new demands.
After that the writer started out to fight him in the public press, to right Turner's wrongs. The article was written Labor Day. It is ever the desire of the writer to undo anything that he has done, which will cause any one suffering after they have recanted.
The gentleman in question attended our revival meeting Wednesday night. Every courtesy which could be shown him by the pastor, officers and members was extended. After the service, the pastor, ex-pastor, and some of the trustees assembled in the pastor's study and a compromise satisfactory to all concerned was negotiated. The question settled was that by mutual agreement, the parsonage would be in the possession of the pastor after the first of October. This thing which has caused the dissension in Turner has been settled.
LETTER FROM THE BLAINE INVINCIBLE REPUBLICAN CLUB.
The Editor:
The Blaine Invincible Republican Club believes the time is at hand for us to make America safe for future generations-protection under the Constitution of the United States. Life, liberty and happiness is what we want-organization will do it. It would not be fair to ourselves or just to our posterity to leave these embarrassments-viz., Jim Crow Car Law, MobViolence, etc., for them to overthrow. accomplish the desired result. In order that it may be beneficia and helpful, we are asking you to attend the banquet to be given on the 15th of October next at the Nation's Capital,
These un-American acts if permitted to continue will become greater and harder to overcome.
It was our forefathers and many white friends who suffered and toiled that we should have all the rights and privileges guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States. We believe that there are as many members of the Republican party who will help us to get a square deal today as there were during the years of 1850 to 1861.
We have planned a convention for the 30th of November, 1921, and we are anxious that the convention will
His cause, and the cause of humanity, of justice, truth and right. Come to us anytime, Sister. You are entirely welcome.
"Forward Turner!" Jesus leads the way, and He says as we say: "Come Thou and go with us and we will do thee good."
The Wizard of the Theatrical World Seems to be in the Spotlight.
Positive word comes to us that Rufus G. Byars, the wizard of the theatrical world, who seems to be in the spotlight at present, has leased the Attucks Theater in Norfolk, Va., a beautiful house with 1,000 seats built by all colored-American capital with quite a number of Norfolk's best citizens as stockholders.
The Sunday school was well attended and the children really enjoyed the singing of the new music and the songs written especially for them. We greatly missed the superintendent who made known that he could not be present. The teachers just took things in hand and held the school. Mr. Anderson is missed when he is absent. The writer wishes to pay a special tribute to Miss Malinda Throckmartin. She has charge of the cradle roll now, having surrendered a regular class to go out and gather the little ones Sunday morning. The church and Sunday school thank you sister, and we want to let Washington know that Sister Throckmartin is among the best workers in Washington. Congratulations.
Miss Ella Jones is greatly missed, in the Sunday school. We congratulate her on having been called to be organist of a church in Alexandria, in the stead of Madam Agnus Hicks, of whom we spoke last week. When her term expires we shall be very glad to see her with us again.
The communion services at the Sunday morning services of the church were the most solemn and impressive that the writer has participated in for some time. The sermon was eliminated. The pastor officiated and the service was graced by the presence of Sister Rosa Scott, the avengelist, as noted in last week's issue.
There were fourteen communicants aside from those who hold holy orders. The Spirit of Christ flooded the services.
A new communion set has just been secured. Sister Annie Sewall officiated as the pastor's stewardess. The entire Lord's Supper ritual was used. The musical responses were well executed.
The organ renditions and the singing of the service certainly were as if inspired by an angelic choir.
The writer being the organist of Turner, wishes to thank the choir for such splendid services rendered, especially Miss Throckmartin and Emma Sewall, Messrs. Reed and Mondell.
The Sunday night services were exceedingly well attended Revs. Harry C. Roberts and Charles Deerborn (both white) of the Evangelical Society; Boston, Mass., delivered stirring addresses at the platform held previous to the regular service, at which time Sister Scott preached "Dry Bones." She put a different construction on the meaning of the assembling of the "dry bones," than what the writer has ever heard before. Sister Scott has done a mighty work in Turner, for there is no foolishness about her, and she strikes from the shoulder on the anvil and lets the sparks fly where they will and rejoices to see good being immediately accomplished.
On Monday, September 12, she was assisted by Rev. J. R Pincell and members of McKinley Memorial Church; Tuesday night, the 13th, by Rev. Robert Erby and members from Mt. Pisgah A. M. E. Church.
These clergymen and visiting friends came at the solicitation of Brother Samuel Smith, of whom we spoke last week.
The writer wishes to thank Brother Isaiah Perry for the splendid manner in which he is using his influence to bring members to Turner. We welcomed in our midst this week many new friends from sister churches, who led by the spirit of God, have come to worship and who are assisting Sister Scott. May success attend these efforts.
The revival services closed Thursday night, the 15th. The evangelist has done a wonderful service at Turner and this is her most trying hour. The light has appeared and we must of necessity give a deal of credit to Sister Scott, whom God directed to us at this critical moment.
The prayers and blessings of Turner shall ever follow you, sister, and may God ever keep you faithful to
BYARS LEASES ANOTHER THEATER.
When approached by a Bee representative Mr. Byars stated that he would send one of the young men who has been in training under him for some time to take active management of the Attucks, while he is on this end looking after the pictures and attractions.
Quite a good many have had their hands in the management of the Attucks, but we believe if there is such a thing as making the Attucks a success, Byars will do it.
The delegation sent from Norfolk in the person of Mr. P. B. Young, president of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, Dr. Frank G. Russell and others are to be congratulated on securing the services of Mr. Byars, who stands ready to help at all times. We congratulate Byars on his latest venture and speak the sentiment of the entire Washington public when we say we wish him good luck and great success.
CLOSE CALL FOR MANAGER OF CAPITOL HABERDASHERY:
Dame' rumon was very busy last week in the business circles reporting the alleged death of C. F. Howard, the You Street merchant, which we are glad to advise is not true. Last Thursday Mr. Howard was overcome by gas in the upstairs of the store where he detected a leaking gas pipe, of which Mrs. Howard had previously complained. In attempting to adjust the leak he was overcome by fumes and found in a semiconscious state by friends and a traveling salesman. First aid was immediately applied and with the services of a physician he was able to get about. Mr. Howard is going to take a much needed rest for a few days and assures his friends and patrons that he will not stop until the greater Capitol haberdashery and merchandise com-
accomplish the desired result. In order that it may be beneficia and helpful, we are asking you to attend the banquet to be given on the 15th of October next at the Nation's Capital, Washington, D. C., to map out the platform for the convention.
We are looking for your cooperation and assistance in every way. No matter of what your religious view or your station in life may be, one fact remains beyond any doubt, viz., that you are a member of a race that is loosing out in the way of protection from the government which it has supported in time of peace and war. Yours, truly,
Francis Wells,
President, Blaine Invincible Republican Club, 1908 Ninth Street Northwest.
pany is a realization. Already many changes have been made and the next 60 days he hopes to announce the opening of the special ladies' department. The herculean efforts of this man in giving to Washington a store owned, managed and operated by our folks during this, the greatest industrial crisis of the past twenty-five years, is in itself a feat worthy of commendation. Many larger, and older concerns have been forced to the wall during this great commercial depression, but by extraordinary effort, our store has managed to survive and at the same time expand. In addition to establishing this institution of which we ought to be proud, his efforts have served to inspire others and today we have several new concerns following in his footsteps and we sincerely hope for all of them success, for as we grow in the commercial world then will our opportunities increase and our boys and girls will have an opportunity for clerkship and sales persons.
We are especially pleased to note the sympathetic aid and loyal support given Mr. Howard by his many friends.

"De Lawd Sutt'ny Looks Aftah His Own."
(Copyright, 1921, Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.)
Mr. Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown, considerably smaller and browner than his name, strutted along Lenox Avenue with his head up and his little cane twinkling like a drum major's baton. His dress, which almost defied, description, was a glittering coruscation of black and white checks, patent leather shoes, a panama hat and a butterfly necktie that was illuminated with a pin too big and bright to be a real diamond. Any one who could forget the clothes long enough to look at the man within them would have observed a keen-featured, dark little face with bright eyes and a humorous look of superior wisdom, as if its owner were tolerantly musing on the foibles of his fellow men. For the good Toussaint was one of that great multitude who think the world would be a much better place if they had made it instead of the Lord.
Mr. Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown was finishing his nightly stroll on Lenox Avenue. He was so caparisoned with dress and dignity that any one who hazarded a guess at his daily occupation would probably have gone wrong. Who could picture this splendent figure running an apartment house elevator, guarding Pomeranian pups, and being addressed as Toosie, George, Samuel, or by whatever name the white tenants of the Mazarin Court hapened to think of? Yet such was the case, and it was not till the evening came that it was forgotten like a bad dream, and the humble butterfly emerged from the chrysalis of the elevator into the full status of a colored gentleman, a sartorial wonder and a dead game, sport. At the corner of One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Street, Toussaint saw a dense crowd gathered listening to a thunderous gentleman who was delicately perched on a stepladder expatriating upon the virtues of socialism. As Toussaint thought that a gentleman of his attainments should be conversant with the questions of the day, he joined the crowd and soon wound his way into the middle of it, listening raptly to the speaker.
"The capitalists of this country," roared the orator, "are drinking your blood! For every dollar that goes into their pockets some baby loses a pair of shoes, some widow goes without bread, some poor soul sighs away its last breath and passes into the next world, some woman falls into degradation, some child, is left motherless and fatherless——" How many more sins the speaker laid upon the capitalists, Toussaint never knew, for his attention was claimed by a man who persisted in crowding him.
"Say, git off'n my feet, mistahl!" he finally exclaimed at his annoyer, a tall, lean, sallow man with baleful eyes, a long nose and an ugly welt on his cheek. Even as Toussaint spoke he felt a man's elbow rubbing his ribs. The lean man got off Toussaint's feet and backed away.
By that time Toussaint had lost his desire to hear the orator out, so he pushed his way out of the crowd and stood ruefully contemplating the dusty smirch on his patent leather shoes.
"Dat's what a gen'man lak me gits fo' mixin' in a common crowd," he said testily as he started homeward.
Once in his diminutive hall bedroom he began to undress slowly, musing on the socialist orator's remarks.
"Well," he said, "dat man mout be right in all he says, but I specks dat ef de capilists didn't mek peoples die sumpin else would. It caint be all de capilist fault, cause peoples died an' starved an' degraded long befo' dere was any capilists. De Bible always said dat dem whut has, gits, and dem what ain't, ain't. I knows of Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown evah got his hands on a million dollars de socialist could call him all de names in de worl' an' den couldn't mek him mad."
He folded his trousers carefully and laid them on the back of a chair, then he reached for a coat hanger.
"An' dey could call me a blood-drinkah too, ef dey wanted to, only de'd le lyin', cause wid all dat money I'd find sumpin bettah dan blood to drink. A million? Why, ef I had a hunnet thousand—no, ef I could git my hands on one thousand in real money I'd—"
He paused to feel his coat pocket, which bulged unaccountably. Perplexed, he put his hand in it and pulled out something that made his eyes pop like marbles.
"My Gawd, no! I ain't awake!"
It was a thick roll of greenbacks bound by a rubber. Toussaint drop-
"I knowed I'd struck the right man. There are 650,000 people of the col you see my name's Brown and——" ored race within five hours' ride on "No!" said Toussaint. "Youse de the railroads from Atlantic City, living same name I is." in the cities between New York and
ped it to the floor and stared at it. He went to the window and looked out. Yes, he was awake. The street noises were as natural as ever, and people were tramping through the hallway past his door. He went back and picked up the money, pulling off the rubber. He counted the money. Fifty fresh twenty dollar bills!
"A thousand dollahs!" he breathed. Though Toussaint always talked in millions a thousand dollars was more money than he had ever seen. Reverently he replaced them in the rubber, wrenching his brain over the puzzle of how they had got into his pocket. After an hour he gave it up and tried to go to sleep. At last he succeeded, firmly expecting to wake up in the morning and find that he had been dreaming.
When morning came the money was still with him under his pillow. Even so, he only half believed in his good luck, and was actually afraid to try to spend the money, lest at the first touch it should take magic wings. But when another morning came he was at last convinced that Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown had one thousand dollars in United States money to spend as he liked. He had ceased to puzzle over the mystery of where it had come from. He had got it without stealing it, and that was enough.
He began to plan how he should spend it. He was only twenty-three years old, therefore such dull things as banks and investment did not enter his mind. He only figured that he could' spend it all and still have his job, and thus be none the worse. What clothes he should buy, what nights he could have at the Nubia, what wine he could order at Riefwerden's with luscious looking women round him; He rose to religious exultation.
"Ise lak de Izzerlites in de desert when de manna fell f'm Heaven. De Lawd looks aftah His own, an' Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown is sutt'ny His own."
Toussaint's fortune soon began to burn his pocket, and he prepared for his grand descent upon the Nubia and Harlem's other bowers of joy, where he intended to make all sit up; take notice, and then fall down at his feet. Two evenings after his windfall, dressed in his most incandescent clothes, his face shaved and rubbed till it shone like mahogany, and strutting like three Beau Brummels, he burst upon the Avenue like a glorified lightning-bug.
He was bound for the Nubia, but he never got there. One block from his goal he was accosted by a young stranger, who looked as if he had just stepped off a hayrick. With a scrubby yellow face, a slouch hat more ancient than honorable, highwater trousers flapping like clothes on a line, and shoes that had turned gray for want of blacking, the raw youth was a striking contrast to the gorgeous. Toussaint, and his face wore the aggressive but babbled expression of a countryman who sees a city for the first time. A sharper mind than Toussaint's would have thought that the stranger's costume was rather overdone, that he looked too much like a countryman to be one, but Toussaint was in'to. glorious a mood to suspect his fellow men of guile. "Counsellor," pleaded the youth, "I'm a greenhorn in New York and mebbe you kin help me."
"Well, young man," said Toussaint judicially as he swung grandly round and surveyeyed the stranger from his financial height. "I. mout an' I moutn't.. We was' all greenhawns in Noo Yawk once. It teks time tomek a real Noo Yawker."
"But Counsellor——"
"No, no," smiled Toussaint, "I ain't a counsellah yt, but I mout be one any day."
"Scuse me, mister, I thought you was a lawyer," said the youth, as Toussaint warmed to his sheetops at the compliment, swinging his cane in wide semi-circles. "Anyhow, I kin see you're wise to everything."
"Tain't much gits by me," crowed Toussaint.
"That's fine," said the rustic. "You see, Mister Brown, my mother she sent me here with a hunnert dollars to fix up a flat for her. Well, I met some fellas—"
"Is you sho it wasn't dem fellas whut wears skirts?"
"No, no, Mister Brown. I'm goin' right back at 'em but I don't know how to find the place again, hot knowin' anything about Noo Yawk."
Toussaint's greatest weakness began to surge within him, and the fair goddess of chance cooed in his ear like a siren. He was lost.
"Mebbe I kin help you find dat place," he said abruptly. "Wlint did it look lak?"
Read next week how Toussaint got the thousand dollars and what he did with it:

BIG HOTEL TO BE. OWNED. PEOPLED AND RUN BY COLORED RACE.
No Other Institution Like It in the World—Claim Clientele of 650, 000 Within Five Hours' Ride.
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 15.—The largest and finest hotel in the world, owned, operated and controlled by colored people for the accommodation of guests of that race will be realized when Atlantic City's first modern hostelry, on North Indiana Avenue, just off of Atlantic, is completed. For the Hotel Fitzgerald will be the first attempt in this country of people of the colored race to provide for the accommodation of the large traveling, health and pleasure seeking public among them, a modern hotel.
With a tower rising fourteen stories above the ground and with wings seven stories high, spreading out to Indiana Avenue like giant arms of welcome, the hotel will provide all the ease, comfort and luxury of a city hotel: while at the same time possessing all the quietness and elegance of a resort hostelry.
When completed the hotel will provide two hundred bedrooms, all with baths and many en suite. Telephone connections in every room will be a feature of the hotel, while the lobby and exchange, the deck above the cafe and the solarium will provide ample public space for the guests' accommodation. Besides, there will be a spacious banquet and ball room on the seventh floor, which will be used for holding small conventions and as an assembly hall; ladies' parlors and writing rooms, a pool and billiard room, cafe and grill, beauty parlor, barber shop and every convenience found in the best hotels in the country. There will also be artesian wells to supply the water for the hotel.
The architects' drawing is now on exhibition at Bourne's Pharmacy, plans having been prepared by McLanahan and Bencker, of Philadelphia, well known in this resort because of the fact, that they planned the Hotel Blenheim, the Traymore and the M. E. Blatt Co. building. The Fitzgerald Hotel and Development Corporation, in opening its campaign among home people of the race to dispose of the stock, has placed the par value of the stock and the number of shares in each block at such a price and in such amounts as one of the officers states, "every man, woman and child of the race can afford to help erect this hotel, which, not only will be a credit to Atlantic City, but will stand as the greatest monument in the world to Negro achievement in the business world."
The company is seeking out all classes of people of the race in its efforts to distribute as widely as possible the company's stock in order to build up for the hotel a wide stockholding patronage. For this reason the campaign is being waged so as to obtain a certain number of stockholders in the many cities close to Atlantic City. In this way a substantial clientele will be built up for the hotel and it will be possible to offer the public the best accommodation at a minimum price.

Washington inclusive, and these with the large number in other cities in New England, New York State, Pennsylvania and Maryland, form a field from which to draw patrons of any hotel would be proud. The number of colored visitors who come here each year, estimated 100,000, the conventions of the race, and the demand that has been made for years, make such a hotel a necessity and with the proper kind of management assures for the project success.
The men behind this project are well-known in the resort in the business and professional life, and Mr. B. G. Fitzgerald, the president, has built up such a reputation at his cafe and auditorium that Fitzgerald's Cafe is known nationally wherever colored people know Atlantic City. Associated with Mr. Fitzgerald as officers and directors are the following local men: Charles Johnson, Dr. W. E. Braswell, Dr. St. Elmo Davenport, Dr. James F. Bourne, R. M. Chase, Dr. A. B. Washington, F. D. Francis, William S. Stafford and James A. Lightfoot, while many other leading citizens have associated themselves with the foregoing since the corporation started.
The company is waging an extensive campaign all over the country and hopes to be able to start building operations in the early fall.

ROBERT T. KERLIN DISMISSED FROM V. M. I.
FACULTY.
Chicago, Ill., September 2.—Col. Robert T. Kerlin, who wrote to the Governor of Arkansas an open letter published in the New York Nation, in which he asked for justice for the Elaine men condemned to death, has been summarily dismissed from his professorship by the Board of Virginia Military Institute of Lexington, Va. Col. Kerlin, who is a Doctor of Philosophy from Yale, has been for some time Professor of English at the above institution. He is known to colored people as the author of "The Voice of the Negro," a work setting forth the appeal to the nation made by the colored American press; and also a member of the Interracial Committee of the State of Virginia. For several years he has given himself without stint to the cause of racial justice, and there is not a man among the white group who has done so with finer idealism or truer spirit, of democracy.
On June 15th of this year The Nation printed over Col. Kerlin's name an open letter to Governor McCrea, pleading the cause of the condemned men in connection with the so-called "insurrection" near Hoop Spur, Arkansas. The facts of the farcial trial of scores of colored Americans, "without legal counsel, without witnesses," are recited, and a most solemn appeal is made to Magna Charta, the American Constitution and the Bible itself.
The Board of Virginia Military Institute, a school that receives part of its support from the government, demanded Prof. Kerlin's resignation

catarrh, stomach and bowel disorders are just a few of the very common ills due to
catarrh.
Fight it! Fight catarrh with a remedy of assured merit, a remedy which has a
reputation for usefulness, extending over half a century—

in a meeting held August 2, at Richmond, Va. On his refusal to resign, the board autocratically dismissed him with the words:
"It is the opinion of this board that Col. Kerlin, by reason of his interposition in the Elaine Insurrection' cases, as exemplified by his letter to the Governor of Arkansas reflecting upon the administration of justice in that State, and those upon whom the solemn duty rests of enforcing the laws therein (in which connection the board has considered his general activities in interracial matters), has rendered his further connection with the Virginia Military Institute undesirable, and his retention in the professorship instead of promoting the beneficial ends for which the institute was established, would prove harmful and detrimental thereto, and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct and management and prejudicial to the interests which it is their duty to guard and protect." Professor Kerlin will not be without friends in this experience who will stand by him to the last ditch. It is for Virginia we are sorry, for it is hard to see such things happen in a state so rich in American traditions. Why should Virginia soil her soil by excusing the crime in Arkansas?

NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRY NOT TO BE DEMOBILIZED.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York; today made public the text of a letter written by the Adjutant General on September 2nd, stating that no order had been given to demobilize the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry as had been reported.
This was occasioned by an article in the Washington Evening Star of August 19, carrying the following news:
"Sweeping changes in reorganization of all cavalry units of the army, placing the Second Cavalry Division, comprising the Third and Fourth Brigades and the Third and Fourth Machine Gun Squadrons, on the inactive list, and demobilizing units of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 15th Cavalry regiments, were ordered today by the War Department."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately communicated with Senators Capper and Wadsworth and Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., asking if this statement was correct, and whether they could advise any action to be taken by the Association to insure the preservation of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments.
As a result the following letter addressed to Senator Wadsworth by the Adjutant General was forwarded to the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People:
"No orders have been issued to demobilize the 9th and 10th Cavalry. The writer probably misunderstood an order to demobilize several troops of these two colored regiments, and of all white regiments. As a result of the reorganization and reduction of the army, all regiments, white and colored, have been reduced from fifteen troop regiments to eight troop regiments. In addition, three white cavalry regiments are being placed on the 'Inactive List.'
"The 9th and 10th Cavalry will remain 'Active' and be organized exactly like all white cavalry regiments, and an additional colored machine gun troop will be maintained in the Philippines."

The Virginia State ticket is hopelessly split by the "Lily Blacks," who have nominated an entire State ticket of their own with John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Planet for State governor. The Colored-American has been the balance, of power in the State for a number of years. Can the Republicans win without this vote today? They have very small hope of gain even with this vote. The Lily White ticket will have to draw heavily from the Democrats to have a majority. Of the colored vote the Republicans were certain when it was not eliminated from politics. The question is asked, "Why give up the certain for the uncertain?" From the large number of delegates, 568, present the "Lily Blacks" show that they mean business.
The Bee hopes that the "Lily Blacks" will attract a sufficient number of votes from the other parties or that the several factions may find some ground upon which they may unite so that the right man may be elected who will serve all the people well.
Reports show that there are organizations of Lily Blacks springing up in all parts of the South.
It is with regret that The Bee learned of the misfortune which happened to Mr. C. E. Howard, the U Street merchant, in being partially overcome by gas. The same could have happened to the other fellow under similar circumstances. If it had would he have put out the false report of committing suicide about himself? Oh, no! And any one else who dared start such a rumor would have been in danger of homicide from this individual who would dare to start it about some one else.
The Bee extends much sympathy to Mr. Howard in his misfortune and wishes him a speedy recovery.
The people of Washington wait with impatience the opening of the chain of theaters to be operated by Rufus Byars, the idol of the theatrical world.
He is even being sought by out-of-town people who have learned of his fame as a theater operator. This is not the first time that an effort was made by out-of-town people to secure his services.. But it was double crossed by designing and ambitious people before the request reached him.
The Thomas brothers are still on the job. They have always aimed to give their people the best pictures and plays to be had in the theatrical world. A real treat is in store for the patrons of the Howard Theater for its fall opening. Don't fail to patronize this high class play house.

Beware, exultant youth, beware,

And keep your conscience true!
For sake of silver spent today,
Why pledge tomorrow's gold?
Or in hot blood implant Remorse,
To grow when blood is cold?
If wrong you do, if false you play,
In summer among the flowers,
You must atone, you shall repay,
In winter among the showers.
To turn the balances of heaven
Surpasses mortal power;
For every white there is a black.
For every sweet a sour.
For every up there is a down,
For every folly, shame;
And retribution follows guilt.
As burning follows flame.

THE HISTORY OF ETHIOPIA IN RHYME."
"The History of Ethiopia in Rhyme" now being printed serially in The Bee is exceedingly interesting. It is valuable because of the wealth of glimpses of history and suggestions that it contains. The author, Rev. J. Luther Martin, has evidently delved deeply into the biography of children of Ethiopia. I am unable to find mention in my encyclopedias of some of the notables named by him. It is to be hoped that at some future day he will tell us, even in prose, more about some of the historic names he mentions.
In order that the catalogue may approach completeness, let each reader send him in care of The Bee any name of a famous African thought to have been omitted. How about Pindar, the celebrated scholar of Rome and Guillaume Mathieu?

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.

I wonder how long will the dump yard remain at Tenth and You Streets Northwest. It is really one of the most disgraceful scenes in the northwest section. It would have been better to have left the old structure standing until everything was in readiness to erect the New Masonic Temple. When the old structure was being razed I said that the Masonic craft would be just as long starting in the new building as it was tearing down the old one and my statement is being borne out. Let the Masons get busy and put up a temple worthy of the name: Look what a pretty temple the Scottish Rite have on Eleventh Street. Let's get busy.
I wonder why my friend George Lee of dancing class fame seems so down hearted. Brace up, Uncle George, everybody has their ups and downs and dull seasons. I noticed Brother Lee sitting in front of Hall's tonsorial parlors one evening last week with his face down in his hands as if meditating. Things will come your way soon. Just stick to it. You have been doing well for lo these many years and there is no reason to become downcast.
Our people are quite original, but last Monday night the Stenographers capped the climax. They gave a dance in the Devil's Garden. It was a rather unique affair, but some few of those present really thought that they were on thejr way to the Devil's Garden when the platform, on which the Prince of Devils (Alonzo Collins), was giving away souvenirs and favors gave away. The platform was crowded at the time and the weight became too great.
If you want to see some disgraceful scenes, just take a walk down You street after 12 o'clock at night and you will be disgusted. Young girls can be seen standing on the curb or in the shade of the trees or in some other dark, secluded spot along the street. Drivers of automobiles and hackers take great delight in creeping along calling to young girls who in most cases stop and go over to the auto. In a large number of instances neither the auto driver nor the young girl are acquainted with each other. Some of these girls are not over sixteen years of age, but age cuts no ice. I often wonder what kind of parents these young people have or if they have any at all. These conditions should certainly be looked into. A clean-up campaign should be started along this thoroughfare. The morale of the younger generation is getting lower and lower, and if the brakes are not put on gradually now, will gain such momentum downward that when the brakes are applied something will skid.

Elsewhere in The Bee there is an article from the pen of Mrs. E. V. C. Williams concerning the Day Nursery. Mrs. Williams, a versatile writer, knows the human side and can be safely relied upon in bringing to the people of Washington the importance of the movement in which she is so deeply interested. An appeal goes out through this column to the citizens of the community to help this great social worker in an effort to save the little creatures of the street. Get in touch and be the means of saving some poor, unfortunate waif. For further particulars apply to 1135 New Jersey Avenue Northwest or 1523 Corcoran Street Northwest.
Mr. Fred Greene, resident salesman at Glendale, says that work on several bungalows will begin at once. These homes will be unusually attractive and sold at a margin commensurate with the prevailing prices.
Mrs. J. C. Bostic of 4901 Fitch Place Northeast, who left for points north first of last week on her annual vacation arrived Friday highly elated over the trip. Mrs. Bostic's tour included Philadelphia, New York and Atlantic City.
A floral design for a funeral, wedding or birthday festival is sometimes just the thing wanted. You may not know just how to go about to get it. See H. E. Wilson, 608 Forty-ninth Street Northeast, and tell him exactly your need. All designs strictly guaranteed and made by one of Washington's leading colored florists.
Camp "Shady Side," situated in one of the beautiful groves of Glendale, reflects much credit upon the youngsters of the neighborhood. The camp is well stocked, providing for every convenience necessary for an outdoor outing. The famous "Glendale Stars" base ball club has headquarters here. When the correspondent visited the camp, it was learned that the club well deserves the name it has for out of twelve games played, there was only one defeat. The following members have pitched tents: Franklin Ramsaur, Maurice and Carroll Swann, Waverly Sollers, Ellsworth Lee, James Holmes, Leroy Mason, Abner Dorsey, Francis and James Barnes, Herbert and Roger Wilson, Alonzo and Cleo Dancy. Master Homer Swann is in charge and is known as "chief."

Any one desiring to make somebody happy have only to lift up their eyes and look and extend the helping hand. The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.
"No one of my fellows can do that special work for me which I came into this world to do; he can do a higher work, but he cannot do my work. I cannot hand my work over to him, any more than I can hand over my responsibilities and my gifts."
There is great need for the kind word and the sympathetic touch. Let us watch every opportunity to rescue the fallen in our midst. Do not lose hope when the first misstep is taken. The Great Social Worker came to save the lost, not the righteous:

Social service, how great! How noble is the work! You who constitute this committee have reached the highest measure of power for doing good. The standard of measurement these days is the ability to serve, Where? First, in our homes. Second, in our neighborhood. Let each mother not only observe the behavior of her own child, but that of her neighbor's child as well. Extend a tactful, loving hand, and a kind word of admonition to the ill-mannered, boisterous boy or girl. Third, serve the church. Fourth, visit the school room; get acquainted with the teacher who daily instructs your children, and give constructive co-operation to that teacher.
Poverty, sickness, loneliness and crime are all around us; peace and happiness will be retarded, as long as such conditions prevail. We are daily confronted by these drawbacks to human progress. Let us, as the other people, get busy and do all in our power to eradicate the cause.

Union Station is frequently visited, and we get in touch with our people who come into this great and wonderful city. Sometimes they are dazed, not knowing what to do. The Travelers' Aid renders excellent service, but there should be one of our own women permanently placed there to assist in looking after that group of people. Money to pay such a person should be raised, and some consecrated and capable woman selected for the work.
The importance of little children was demonstrated when they were brought to Christ by their fathers and mothers. The disciples showed indifference and rebuked the parents. When the Great Teacher saw their attitude and heard their complaints, He was grieved and provoked and said: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven." This, friends, was the beginning of the Day Nursery. Mothers and fathers bring their children to the Day Nursery, 1135 New Jersey Avenue, to be cared for; they are fed and trained. Shall we, as the disciples, be deaf to their appeal? Shall we turn them away because of the lack of funds to succor them? Oh, no! The people will not permit this; your dollar or move will prevent such an action.
One of the new day nursery members, through a social literary and religious club is going to contribute to the Day Nursery. Please, other members, take notice and ask your clubs to do likewise.
Although our president, Dr. J. Milton Waldron and Mrs. Waldron have been away on their vacation, the good work of the Day Nursery has gone steadily forward under the office force. Mothers meetings will be held at the nursery during the winter. We hope to get every mother in the neighborhood interested.
Through prayer and work let us awake to the necessity of doing all in our power to renew, strengthen and transform this children's retreat, which is so much help to the mothers while away from home at work.
The funds being solicited for the work and so promptly paid by the contributors are greatly helping the cause. We thank you. We ask others who are yet to be heard from to send in their subscriptions, as early as convenient. God bless you for the help you give to this great institution in His moral vineyard.
Regardless of how many doctors or others have told you that you cannot be cured, I will tell you that warts can be cured if you see them for the wart cases ever saw.
