Let Rev. Wa THE FRAN To the Senate District Committee Washington Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: My name is John Milton Walt trict of Columbia, a clergyman by Baptist Church of this city. I reps sociation, the Committee of Seven all colored organizations. The m tions are all residents of the Dist officers and many of the members of the District of Columbia. I have been instructed by these they favor the granting by Congre ment to the people in the Dis zations feels that the white and o loyal Americans and have always ernment and have borne more th the Nation, both in peace and in w are in favor of both the Jones and committee. They regard the two one to the other, and feel that they of Columbia nothing more than w more than the Congress of the Uri citizens. They believe further th more than the members of Congr lived in the District of Columbia whence they come. Letter THE FRANCHISE. We do not see why the people in the District of Columbia should be required to give up the most sacred right possessed by an American citizen, namely, the franchise, because they by accident or by force of circumstances are compelled to live at the capital of the Nation. The peoples living in the state capitols are not forced to make any such sacrifice. There was a time when the District of Columbia possessed the franchise and governed herself. During that period, the welfare of the nation was not interfered with, nor was the safety of the republic in any way jeopardized. This country fought an eight years bloody war to establish the right to representation where there was taxation, and when we think of our condition in the District of Columbia relative to the franchise, we cannot help feeling that our national government stultifies itself in that it taxes us and at the same time allows us no voice in our own political affairs and no voice in the election of the President and Vice President and members of Congress. The citizens of the District of Columbia cannot help feeling humiliated at their position and there is always a lurking suspicion in their breasts that they are not justly treated by the nation, and these convictions do not make for the safety of the national government, and they may at some future time engender such a contention and strife that may embarrass the national government. Further, the anomalous position occupied by the citizens of the District of Columbia in the matter of the franchise is not conducive to the development of usefulness, love and loyalty to our beloved country, either on the part of ourselves nor of our children. We teach our children that America is the greatest country in the world and that the franchise is the most sacred right an American citizen can possess, and they learn, from every-day events as well as from history, that the people living in the District of Columbia have always borne their part of the burdens incident to national and local government and have responded freely to every call made by the nation for money, service, sacraffice and men and that these children and their parents are not even allowed to vote for the humblest official in the District government and that though they are heavily taxed, they have no representation in the --- VOL. XLII NO. 26 The Washington Bee lee, Bington, D. C. Childron. I am a resident of the Disy calling and pastor of the Shiloh present the Alley Improvement Asi and the National Race Congress, members of the first two organizatrict of Columbia and most of the of the race congress are residents of these organizations to assure you thatress of the franchise and self-govstrict of Columbia. These organi-colored citizens of the District are has been true to our National Govman their share of the burdens of war. The organizations I represent I the Capper bills now before your bills as being complementary the ask for the people of the District what is just and right, and nothing United States ought to grant to said at the Capper bill asks for nothing press themselves would ask if they a rather than in the States from government they sustain and love. This state of affairs argues that the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are a falsehood, or that the citizens of the District of Columbia are only half loyal and are not to be trusted with the franchise. At these hearings, the question has been frequently asked, "Have you a good government in the District of Columbia?" The answer has been usually in the affirmative. But while we may have a good government in a way that does not seem to us to be an argument in favor of refusing the franchise to the citizens of the District of Colunia. We notice that the citizens everywhere else in this country clamor for the right to elect their own government officials and when that right is taken from them, or refused them they feel that they have been wronged. People learn how to govern themselves by selecting their own officials and by running their own government, and ti is a great deal better in a republic that they should do this even though they might be governed better in some ways by a monarchical government. A child in the arms of its mother might reach a certain destination quicker than it would by walking, yet it is much better for the child that it walk. We feel that we have a fairly good government of its kind but we are sure that the kind of government we have is not the best for the development of the people of the District of Columbia into responsible, loyal and stalwart citizens of a republic such as is ours. We have lived in the District of Columbia for nearly fifteen years and during all that time we have heard only two real reasons advanced why the people of the District of Columbia should not be given the franchise. The first is, that "there is a larger colored population in the District and if the franchise is bestowed upon the people here the colored people must be allowed to vote and they would invariably vote the Republican ticket and always keep the Republican party in control of the government of the District of Columbia." The other reason is: "If the people of the District of Columbia are given the franchise and self-government, it would increase the taxes of the citizens of the District." With regard to the colored vote, it ought to be said (a) That of the color- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26, 1921 And finally, the colored citizens are in favor of and prepared to submit to any qualification of the franchise that is honest and legal, and that shall be made to apply alike to all of the citizens of the District of Columbia. It is well to remind this committee and all others concerned that neither the colored people of the District of Columbia nor of any other part of this country have ever used their votes, money or numbers to in any way injure or embarrass the National government; the Federal Government found on one occasion, at least, that it could trust the colored citizens when it could not trust some other citizens. The colored citizen has never used the franchise in the District of Columbia, nor anywhere else in the Nation; to injure or embarrass the National Government, and he never will so long as our general government believes in and strives to live up to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. With regard to the claim that taxes will be increased in the event that self-government is granted the District of Columbia. This need not deter any one from desiring the franchise and self-government for the District, for it is more than probable that the District of Columbia under self-government would cost less than it now costs under a commission form of government; and, further, if all the property in the District of Columbia, both that owned by individuals and by the nation, was assessed and taxed at its fair value, the United States Government would likely have to pay considerably more toward the support of the District government than it does now. And in any event the people of the District of Columbia would pay no more taxes under a government of their own choosing than other cities of the same size in this country are now paying; and if the franchise and self-government are what we claim it is, the people of the District of Columbia ought to be willing to agree to a slight raise in taxation (if it should be necessary) in order to be blessed with the privilege of saying who shall govern them, and of having a hand in electing the President and Vice President and the Congress of the United States. For the reasons mentioned above your petitioners request you to urge upon Congress the duty and necessity of granting to the citizens of the District of Columbia the franchise and the right and privilege of govern- The Bethel Literary and Historical Association—"The Mouth Piece of the Race." A splendid, cultured and appreciative audience greeted Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, the assistant superintendent of schools, at the literary Tuesday last. Music was furnished by representatives from Minor Normal, Dunbar High, and Armstrong High schools. A perot of these renditions later. After the secretary, Rev. Dr. F. Q. Killingsworth, took his chair the president, Mrs. Madre Marshall, ascended the rostrum and called Rev. E. W. Williams, aside from the prominence of the gentleman himself, is the husband of Mrs. E. V. C. Williams of the Day Nursery. Dr. Williams in his fervent prayer, with a voice of trustfulness, pleaded for the race; the association and humanity. The rostrum was graced by the presence of ex-President Pinkett and who is now the vice president of the association; Mr. J. C. Knole, supervisor principal of the tenth division, public schools. Mrs. Marshall in her forceful and impressive manner, introduced the orator of the day. The writer seriously doubts that there is a woman leader of the race who has a more commanding voice, poise and personality than Mrs. Marshall. She does not just belong to Metropolitan, but, she belongs to the race. Every time the writer sees such noble women as she, he feels that God in creating the colored race gave to the world women of noble physique, well-developed brain power and the force to compel the "mere men" to acknowledge that she is his equal if not in many ways his superior. In opening the meeting the president said "That President Roosevelt said that if there was any issue and it was not discussed before the Bethel literary, and when the literary did take it up then it was an issue for Congress and the country." In her inimitable way she introduced the speaker of the evening. Great applause greeted Prof. Wilkinson, and he deserved it for when he stepped to the front of the rostrum he immediately impressed one as being a man of perfect self-possession and a disposition not easily provoked, but when once he is aroused in the cause of righteousness there seemed to be no heights to which he would not climb. His subject was "The Proposed Extensions and Improvements in the Public Schools of Washington." The education." 2. "Intelligence tests and measurements." 3. "Standardization of night schools, junior high schools, and vocational schools." 4. Vocational guidance. 5. The conversion of Minor Normal into teachers' college, with differential course of information. 6. Revision of salary scale for employees. 7. Creation of a board of superintendence and the creation of five or six persons and the creation of an administrator and group principals. 8. Certain difficulties in installing the platoon (or Gary) system in Washington. He stated that Congress appropriated $75,000 a year for the maintenance of the night schools and then they were only in operation for five months. The Garnett night school is the only one that gives a diploma equal to the high schools. Prof. Wilkinson told us that it is hoped and may become a fact that Congress will appropriate more so that the term of the night schools maybestandardized. He held that the school term should be extended to eight months. He stated that more money was needed for the appropriation for last October was $3,230 and for December $5,000. By providing more night schools and raising the standard of the night schools then the diplomas would give admittance to the senior high schools. He then spoke of the history of our public school system. The physical standard of our scholars should be improved. Sixty-five per cent of the applicants to the army in the south failed in examination for the very reason that physical education was not up to the standard. An examination of prospective teachers from high to normal, only one white and one colored were perfect in physique. The parents can given more attention to the health of the children in regards to physical fitness. He suggested that the department of physical education and domestic science should have a lunchroom where children could have access to them. He advocated a proper diet for the children. The compulsory education law is inadequate in educational force and operates against children between eight and fourteen. The lowest age should be six and the highest eighteen. That would lower it two and raise it four years. The private and paroachial schools are one the standard of the public schools as to compulsory education and children coming from these schools always stand.well in the public schools. He suggested a continuation school; that is, it would be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p. m., and in that way it would given all the people who work and desire to go to school to do so. The different period classes would be assembling all those hours. A speddid idea, Professor. He next took up the subject of the junior high and the vocational schools. He claimed that the junior high should prepare the student to not have a special teacher but to have special teachers for each special subject. If this was done in the junior high which would be the seventh and eighth grades, then when they entered high scoll the would be conversant wit its methods. He feels that Congress should find and classify teachers for the junior high. In the vocational schools the trades are curtailed for the reason that there is not room. These rooms should be increased from eight to sixteen or twenty-four rooms. The district and the country look to the graduates of Dunbar and Armstrong for leadership. The curriculum must be standardized. Dunbar must excel in acedemic and classical courses and Armstrong must excel in technical studies. Teachers from Minor Normal school are being called to teach in New York, Florida, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and other states. He claimed that the children needed "vocational guidance." He spoke of the patents on the inventions of young Mr. Jackson of Southwest. The young man has invented an indestructible tire and rim for automobiles and other things. He asked what was the use of trying to make a musician out of Jackson when he is a mechanic, or try to take a musician and make a mechanic of him. This guidance will give to each child his or her particular vocation and will try to cultivate it in preference to everything else. The investigation of the needs of the schools has been conducted in a very friendly manner. The superintendent and the commissioners look in favor on the playground department and the child labor bureau. By the act of 1902, the colored assistant superintendent has sole control of the colored schools and there is no instance where colored people should change the laws. The superintendent of schools and the board of education remain of the opinion that autonomy will remain in the District. W care assured of absolute equal curriculum, service and appointments. In closing he spoke of educational guidance, meaning to watch and find out what future developments is in the child. At the conclusion of this most cheering, forceful, instructive and uplifting address, the speaker was cheered to the echo. Congratulations, Professor! The community is with you and you can at all times count on the staunch support of the eBe. Preceding and succeeding the address the following numbers were rendered: Solo, soprana, "Homing," Miss Helen Harris. Miss Harris' rendition was in the most attractive style. She has a beautiful voice which she has under perfect control. It seems natural for her to take the notes in the upper register, with the greatest of ease and one would have thought that the composer had heard her sing before perfecting the score. Miss Harris is of Armstrong. The beautiful preclude was rendered by Miss Gladys Davts, "G Minor," Rachmaninoff. Miss Davis is a though master of the piano. Her touch was given with such ease and grace that it seemed that the music was in her fingers and that she had to strike the keys to dispel it. The writer trusts a bright future for you, Miss Davis! The violin solo, "Traumerii," Schumann, rendered by Mr. Earl R. Perry, was beyond a doubt a forceful reminder that the young man can if he will, take his place with the premier violinists of the race. The solo, "Alma Mata," composed by Mrs. A. J. Cooper, a teacher, was rendered by Miss Anola Miller. Miss Miller has the making of a great singer in her soul and it but needs encouragement for it to develop into a "voice to the world." She simply throws her whole being into the song and awakens within the hearer longs for other of her renditions. Miss Miller told the writer that she was hoarse tonight. No one knew it but herself and if she did that well then I should like to hear her with a clear voice. The closing musical number was "Barcarolle" Deth, rendered by Miss May Thomas. Miss Thomas covers the piano from up there to down there. The music is in every fiber of her body and when she renders those most intricate passages, she seems to be entranced. Life the leaves in their "Song of Autumn," when the wind flows through, wave a song of cheer, so does Miss Thomas when she plays. She's a credit to her school. After this solo the president in a most excellent extolled the speech. She spoke of the constructiveness of the same and in her manner, which was all hers called for comments. Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, Mr. J. W. Scott, Dr. Porter and the writer made (Continued on eighth page.) "TOOSAYNTE LEE OVAHCHOO BROWN." (Copyright 1921, Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.) "Benny," said Toussaint, as he looked thoughtfully out the window, "Ise tired o' bein' a piker." "Good Lord, Toussaint!" said Benny, rising from his recumbent position on the couch, "how much more do you want? You get seventy a week at the Sheba Theatre, and for a fellow as young as you——" "Jes' pays fo' shinin' ma shoes," interrupted Toussaint, and he joined in Benny's laugh. "And by the grace of God and the government of New York State you came out of that Blanche Bruce deal with a whole skin and fifteen thousand dollars to boot. Of course, some of that's gone for a car." "A cyar," said Toussaint with brightening eyes, "jes as big an' yaller as Lissas B. Catlin's; an' I went him one bettah when I had 'em put red trimmin's on de edges. She ain't no common cyar; she's a reglah fiery chariot." "Yes," said Benny quizzically, "not everybody has your eye for color." "Dat ain't deir fault," said Toussaint kindly, "you caint speck evahbody to have de brains an' eyes of a ginuwine artist." "But as I was saying" said Benny, seriously, "what more do you want? You already have more than many men who've worked hard for twenty years and saved their money, too." "Oh, I ain't thinkin' 'bout dat class o' peoples," said Toussaint with a shrug. "Ise above 'em. But I reads in de papahs evahday 'bout men in Wall Street mekkin' a million a day in war stocks." "And you think you can do it, too?" sneered Benny. "I dunno, I dunno," growned Toussaint. "Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown's li'ble to do anything wunst, an' cf you don't look out he'll do it agin." "You're right," laughed Benny, "but what's the new idea? Just how do you figure on making more money?" "Why, de same way as dem men dat meks a million a day in Wall Street?" "Holy cats, Toussaint! You're not really going to buck Wall Street?" "Why not? Ise bucked evahthing else." "But Wall Street! You're fixing to get it in the neck sure enough now. Ulysses B. Catling is a kitten compared to the lions and tigers down there. When they get through with yu you won't have enough skin to go to heaven in." "Not ef I keeps my eyes open," said Toussaint stoutly. "Nachelly de fools an' suckahs gits bit, den dy blames deir own dumbness on de Street. But Toosaynte Lee——" "Toussaint," said Benny earnestly, "you're just the kind they lay for in Wall Street—you think you know it all." "Oh, use yo haid, Ben, use yo haid. I'll jes slip in an' git a good stock cheap an'—" "How the devil can you get a good stock cheap?" cried Benny. "Everything that's any good is way up and still going. How can you horn in there with your nickles and dimes?" "O-o-oh," said Toussaint, with an air of great cunning. "Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown's got mo' sense dan you think. I'll jes grab somé little old stock dat nobody ain't payin' no 'tention to—" "And therefore of little value," cut in Benny. "Wait, Ben, let me 'splain. You see, I loads up on dat stock when she's cheap, 'an' den when she rises——" "Of course, she'll rise," jeered Benny. "Stocks never, never go down; oh, never." "No stock dat Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown buys. I ben read-in' de fyenancial repotes fo' some time now, an' Ise watchin' a little stock dat's way down to fifty-seven. Ise gwin grab it an' den tek mah profit when she sky-hoots. Jes buy 'em low an' sell 'em high, dat's all you got to do." "Sure," said Benny sarcastically, "simplest thing in the world, millions made that way. What's your stock?" De Doorant Nition Company. Benny took up the morning Times and opened it at the financial page. "Durant Ignition," he read, "opened at 993%, closed at 995%." "No, dat ain't it, youse got de wrong stock." "But that's the only Durant here." "Gimme de papah. See, hyuh 'tis, opens at sebnty-sebn, closes at sebnty-fo'." "Oho, I see," said Benny, smiling at Toussaint's pronunciation, "the Darrant Munitions Company." "Sho. Mekkin' shot an' shell fo' de. Alleys." "Hm, hm." said Benny sagely. "What do you know about that company? What's its capitalization? Who are the directors? How long has it been listed? How are its bonds selling, if it has any? Where are its factories? What state give it a charter? You can't answer a one of those questions, yet you're ready to risk your last dollar in it." "Dem whut don't risk nothin' don't git nothin'," said Toussaint sententionally. "But any man o' common sense kin see dat when Doorant goes up—" "Who told you it was going up? Didn't you ever hear of a stock going down? You see by the Times that this Darrant fell from seventy-seven to seventy-four in one day." "Ben," said Toussaint aggrievedly, "Ise s'prised at you. Wid de bigges nations in de world buyin' shot an' shell an' evahthing, else, how'n de name o' common sense kin a stocklak Doorant go down?" "It's just gone down from seventy——" "Part o' de game," said Toussaint, looking wise. "De big guys does all dey kin to send de good stocks down so's dey kin buy 'em low, den when de stocks skyhoots dese wise guys unloads 'em. Dey did dat to Beth Steel, shoved huh down to sixty an' now jes look at huh—she's pokin' holes in de sky." "Well," growled Benny, getting up to go, "take my advice and stay out of a thing you don't know nothing about. You have just enough pseudoknowledge of Wall Street to be dangerous to yourself." "An' Ben's a college stoodent!" said Toussaint as the door closed behind his friend. "De mo' book eddication a man gits de mo' common sense he loses." Yet Benny's advice impressed Toussaint in spite of himself, and he could have postponed his Wall Street adventure indefinitely if it had not been for the dream he had that night. Toussaint believed in his dreams; if events belied them he blamed the events, not the dreams; and the more wonderful the dreams the more he believed in them. And it happened that he had a wonderful dream about Darrant Ignition stock. He saw himself in Wall Street, in the ante-room of the brokerage office of Downes, Jordan and Company. He was talking with a confidential clerk of the firm, Mr. Joe Malson, whom he had often conveyed in his elevator in the old days at the Mazarin apartment house. Clerks, customers and office boys were running about excitedly, and "Darrant" was on every one's lips. Darrant was going up by leaps, following the rumor that certain big financiers had got control of it. In the middle of everything stood Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown with his hands in his pockets and his cane hooked on his arm, calmly smoking and smiling inscrutably at the rich men who swarmed about him, begging for advice. All about him was the noise of voices and the ringing of bells. Suddenly he awoke. He found himself sitting up in bed, sweating at every pore. The bells he heard were those of a fire engine that had just rumbled by the house. But he was still quivering with his dream. "Lay down, Toosaynte. Lee Ovahchoo Brown," he said soothingly, "lay down, son. De Lawd's done found His own agin, an' you'll be a rich man tomorrow." After that dream an army of Benny Joneses could not have kept Toussaint out of Wall Street. When morning came he could hardly wait to finish his breakfast. He rushed out of the house and started for the subway, then he remembered that he had an automobile and should use it as befitted a man of his standing. He entered a booth and telephoned for his car. In due time the car came around its color making more noise than its horn. It was of a bright, burning yellow, embroidered with wide welts of red. Its enameled sides caught the morning sun like a mirror and seemed to splash color in every direction. In the front seat was an enormous chauffeur with a skin like anthracite and dressed in turtle-soup green with corn-colored buttons. Well might Toussaint boast that very few people had his eye for color. And like most little men he had the instinctive desire to show that brawn was meant to serve brain, so he had engaged the biggest chauffeur in Harlem. The chauffeur stopped the car and stepped out with a military salute, another idea of Toussaint's. He opened the door and Toussaint, aware of an envious, gaping group of bystanders, sank nonchalantly upon the sky-blue cushions of his car. "Whar-to, suh?" roared the big chauffeur. "Wall Street!" said Toussaint quite as loudly. "Wall Street, jes as fast as you kin mek it 'thout gittin' 'rested fo' speedin'." (Concluded Next Week.) Coming Soon—"The Vamp and the Virgin"—a Serial Love Story of Colored Life. "NEGRO BRUTE" TURNS OUT TO BE A WHITE MAN. (From The Times American.) Lexington, Ky., November 19. Following the publishing of reports throughout this section, inflammatory articles under heads "Black Brute Assaults Little White Child," "Mob Forming to Lynch 'Negro' Brute When Caught," and other such headlines, the articles giving a story that a small white girl, who stated that a colored American had criminally assaulted her while she was playing near her home here, and following the arrest of a dozen colored Americans, two of them narrowly escaped the hands of a mob that scoured the country for miles around. The thorough grilling of the white child by the police officers resulted in the little girl finally admitting that it was a white man and not a colored man, aged fifty years, and a member of a prominent white family of this section, who assaulted her. The man, whose name has been suppressed by the papers, was rushed to Frankfort upon orders of Circuit Judge R. C. Stott, for safe keeping. The girl stated that she had placed the blame upon the colored man because the white man had threatened her with death should she tell of his relations with her. The mother of the child, noticing her soiled clothing, questioned her as to the cause, and it was then that she stated that a colored man had assaulted her. 1026 Kenyon Street N. W., Washington, D. C. To the Honorable, the Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. Honorable Sir: The poem written above was begun this evening about 9 o'clock. It was inspired by my having read some of the preparations that are being made to honor "The Unknown Dead" on Armistice Day. If in any way you may find these lines available for use on that day, the author, would be more than glad to have contributed his small mite. All American bows in sympathy to the parents of this soldier who know not that this is their son. If this poem heals some broken heart I should feel that it was labor well spent. In the time of "Honoring the Unknown Dead," the author of this poem felt that we as American citizens who gave "our all" to this country, and feeling that some colored "Gold Star Mother's Son" was perhaps being honored by the Nation, and if not that, that we as loyal Americans should do what little we could to cheer the hearts of those mothers whose sons have not returned, and some of them are "The Unknown Dead." The following letter from the Secretary of War speaks for itself. The writer, too, regrets that the poem was too late to be available, and for this reason he gives it to the community through The Bee. * * * Secretary's Office, November 9, 1921. War Department.

Just what recommendations the special committee now probing the schools are going to make in effort to remove some of the difficulties hampering the public instruction is not known, but it is universally hoped that the findings will be of such a nature that their will be no violation of the organic act. Supt. Wilkinson, as well as the other officials, though keenly reticent as to the outcome, do not hesitate to give their approval when asked for an opinion. Mr. Wilkinson favors the retention of a single school board, with appropriate colored representation, and predicts that present-day conditions will work out to the satisfaction of all, if permitted to stand. With great care and exactness the administrative authorities are going through every item pertaining to the school regime, especially the building program, and to change the school autonomy would not only bring educational disaster, as already stated, but upset the excellent headway already made by the present administration in its fight for more and better schools. No time in the history of the system have the school premiers been confronted with problems almost insurmountable, and the special com- --- Dr. Fred Palmer's Laboratories Dept.

COLORED AMERICANS WHIPPED AND ORDERED TO LEAVE TOWN. Shreveport, La., November 24.—Scores of colored men, and women were whipped and ordered to leave town at Haynesville, La., according to word received here. They were charged with being undesirables. Fifteen white men, accompanied by police officers, raided the colored settlement. The colored Americans were dragged to the streets, whipped, and told to leave town. The crusade against the colored Americans followed an attack by a colored man on a white man a few days ago. We are unable to fully grasp just why the K. K. K. investigation came to such an abrupt ending, especially when colored Americans are constantly being mistreated, abused and beat up. The fact that these mobbers did not wear white regalia, or ride horses makes them none the less K. K. K., who boast of these activities. Main 1124 Washington; D. C.

Officials Plan to Revive League on Increased Scale During Winter. Plans to revive the activities of the athletic league of the colored public schools on a larger scale than ever before are being made by school officials. It is the intention of Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools to make this movement a part of the general plan to develop the health and vigor of school children. Isaac Cupid, a colored athletic director, has been appointed to a position on the staff of the elementary schools physical training department, and he will devote most of his time to work with the boys in the graded schools. Athletic associations also have been formed in each of the colored graded schools to develop the boys physically. The war prevented the league from functioning for several years, but the experiences of those who developed the work in past years will make amends for what the league has lost by reason of darmant interest in P. S. A. L. activity. Mr. Wilkinson has held conferences with the principals of schools and officials of the league during this school term and the organization of the P. S. A. L. and division athletic league has been accomplished. Basket hall will be the first game or activity which will claim the attention of the thousands of juvenile athletes. Officers Appointed.

The Bee thinks that the tribute paid to Marshal Foch by the school, children of the District of Columbia at Lafayette Square on last Tuesday ‘morning in the name of the children oi the country, a worthy one. Bettér arrangements for a public demonstration of schoyl children haye never been anade in this city. ‘The: Marshal was greeted by a quiet, orderly group. of children attended by teachers and adults. : : ‘The background selected for the speaker added much to the appearance of the occasion—consisting of the cadets from Arm- strong and other high schools, who stood at attention whilé old glory floated about them.

In.fact, all have spoken on the larger phases of disarmament at sea, but when the subject, for discussion is land disarmament, the softer peddle ‘is played. Why is this? ‘We know why it is played here! . Because of our intérnal troubles—mob rule! The victims of this vice here are members of the’ weaker race. # - Is this the case with the countries of the other eight nations represented at the international conference? If.so, The Bee thinks that it would be a fit subject for discussion at the peace table. “Per- haps the interchange of ideas would teach ‘us ‘what to do with it in America.

His theme was “A Program for Negro Youth,” In the course of his ‘remarks he cer- tainly fed the boys with, sonte ‘good wholesome, practical food. But mu- sic hath its charms and Prof. Thomas remarks ended in time to be followed by ‘an appealing tenor solo’ by the school’s sweet singer, .

What is this I ventured to say~ by way’ of ‘introduction. ‘The principal told me that? it was. the magazine published by the studénts of the Rob- ert Gould Shaw Junior High School. ‘The principal's page, I found very in- structive and. entertaining. As I ascended the stairway. of the ‘school. in quest of the assembly hall where Prof. Thomas was to make his address, F' met several pupils who were conveying the weekly bulletin to different parts of the building for-dis- tribution. Being courteditsly -handed one, I opened it.” My eye fell upon the advertisement of the Dramatic Club, which is to présent. two plays in December;, “Why the Chinies Rang" and “The Dolls.” . After the lecture I passed dgwn the long halls of the school, where I found ,that several of the special teachers have their offices. These teachers were seated at their desks, some arranging schedules, some hav- ing conferences, others were phoning. Just as I was about to make my exit I caught the sound of ‘the sweet strains which were being played by the orchestra. Although, music al ways had its charms for me I could stay no longer because of my engage- ment to meet a friend with whom I was going shopping. . - You see the Thanksgiving sdason is on and I needed’a-few more things to finish the touches about my home for this festive season.

Broadus was assisted by Mrs. Rosa A. Lewis of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. The sum raised, and turned over to the school was $95.60. Miss Burroughs, the principal, was exceedingly eloquent in her reply when she arose to express her appreciation and there was no doubt as to her sincerity when she said that "Words were mere empty vessels—deeds were the things that counted."

Do you life full and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has discovered a new vitalizer superior even to the much discussed "goat gland" and "monkey gland" treatment. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an ornamental tree. It is the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with it are other tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In most cases, the compound produces marked improvement in a day or two, and in a short time is raised, the clubhole improved and the glow of health is felt in every part. The new vitalizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enormous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all.

"The Fifteenth N. Y. Regiment on the Front Line," by Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York, and the late Captain of Old Fifteenth Regiment, followed a congressman from California, who was also an officer in command of colored troops overseas. Each address a masterpiece, and assured the association of their co-operation and aid to secure a memorial hall ion the city of Washington in honor of the colored soldiers and sailors of all the wars. Address by Judge Robert H. Terrell, Commissioner of the National Association, made one of his best talks. Mr. James H. W. Howard gave an outline of the proposed Memorial Building.

In spite of the downpour of rain and muddy roads, never a larger crowd gathered than did in Allen A. M. E. Church Wednesday at 1 o'clock, at Garfield, D. C., to pay the last tribute to a splendid woman, Miss Cannon, who had lived in Garfield since she was twelve years old. She and all her family had been faithful members of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church for years. But at the same time fostered and helped finance every call of Allen Church. A few years ago the mother joined this church, but the distance was too much for her to go to the city, and she is now President of Stewardess Board, and is a faithful worker. The young daughters still retained their membership in the city. Miss Cecelia has been failing in health for over a year, but kept at her post of business in the Center Market, where she was known and respected by people of all races. To have seen the long line of automobiles and the exquisite tokens of respent in flowers, it would have seemed that some cabinet officers daughter or congressman's sister was being conveyed to her final resting place. The pallbearers were professional and business men. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, her pastor, was not able to officiate, as his oldest daughter was being buried at the same time. Owing to extreme distance, Allen Church opened her doors to Nineteenth Street Church for them to bury their faithful sister. In fact, Allen felt she was as much their member as she was to Nineteenth Street. Just a short while ago in two instances she turned in a sum aggregating $200 toward the rebuilding of this historic old church. Rev. W. J. Howard officiated at the funeral for Rev. Brooks, ably assisted by Rev. Traverse, pastor of Allen. Excelsior Household of Ruth and Azara Council of St. Luke (she. organized this council, and it was named for her) were out in large numbers to do honor to her memory. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, an old friend of the family., and who as District Deputy set up Azara Council, was present, and represented and spoke for Nineteenth Street. Baptist Church, and told how loyal Miss Cannon was to her church and how charitable she was to every one. Captain Anderson (now retired) of the Anacostia Police Precinct, was present and gave a graphic account of her life and sojourn in Garfield, and told how well it paid persons to so live in a community where every one knew them and respected them. Mr. M. M. Peace was present with the St. Luke. The music by the Allen Choir and solos were excellent. The tribute from the church and choir gave evidence of a well spent life in the village. She leaves to mourn her loss a mother, two sisters and nieces and nephews, and a host of friends. She rests in Harmony Cemetery by the side of her father and other-loved ones, who have answered the roll call just ahead of her. Delegates and Alternates Chosen for Various Schools.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY PAYS HONOR TO MARSHAL FOCH. Degree of Doctor of Laws Conferred. Allied Commander Praises Work Of Garrled Troops Howard University held ceremonies attendant upon the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Laws on M. Ferdinand Foch, Marshal of France, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armies, on the University Campus, Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. November 16, 1921. Marshal Foch made the visit to the Howard University to be entertained as its guest upon the request of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the Secretary-Treasurer of the University, with the approval of President J. Stanley Durkee, through Colonel James A. Drain, a member of the entertainment committee of the American Legion, which has charge of arrangements in connection with Marshal Foch's visit to the United States, and also through M. Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador. The program in connection with Marshal Foch's visit to Howard University included the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah, by the University Vested Choir; a prayer by Rev. Francis J. Grimke; the greeting to the Marshal by President J. Stanley Durkee; a response by Marshal Foch; the tribute from the colored soldiers of the World War by Claude W. Blackmon, Sergeant Major of the 368th Infantry, a member of the class of 1923 of the University; the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Laws on Marshal Foch by President Durkee up his being presented by Justice Stanton J. Peele, the president of the Board of Trustees of the Howard University, and the singing of the Alma Mater and the Marseilles by the 1 NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA 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. DEPARTMENTS ALREAIIY ESTABLISHED In conferring the degree on Marshal Foch after his presentation by Justice. Stanton J. Peele, President Durkee said: "Ferdinand Foch, Student, Teacher, Author, Patriot, Lover of Law and Justice, with supreme faith in God and in the right, Savior of Civilization, honored and loved by mankind, generalissimi of the Allied Armies—by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees of the Howard University, I confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws, together with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto." *** Marshal Foch, in Response to Greeting From Howard, Praises the University and Work of the Amer- Marshal Foch, in responding to the greeting of Howard University, said: "I find it very easy to express my sentiments of gratitude for the cordial reception accorded me, when I recollect the commendable and indispensable service rendered by the colored troops upon the soil of France. I knew well that Howard University contributed largely in the war. I knew also that through the love and energy of this great institution of learning as manifested for France, that the soldiers, actuated by these impulses, gloriously fought in France. Although our green sod now covers the bones of many of our beloved comrades, France shall not forget the magnificent efforts of Howard University, and the costly sacrifices made by the colored soldiers, the shedding of their blood upon the altar of freedom shall mark an important epoch in the history of human action. I can assure you that the French people are lavishing both love and care upon the tombs of the American soldiers whose bodies are now in France." In the requests, which were made by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who served during the World War as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, in the effort to have Marshal Foch visit the Howard University, attention was called to the important part which the 400,000 colored soldiers who were called to the colors, played not only in camp and cantonment, but overseas as well, and also to the glowing tributes, paid the colored soldiers from America by French commanders. Mention was also made of the fact that Howard University had more graduates and students to receive commissions and serve as officers with colored military units than any other institution in America for the training of colored American youths, and that on the grounds of the university 1,786 colored men were trained for army service. Grounds Decorated for Occasion. The grounds of the university were decorated with the tri-colors of France and the Stars and Stripes for the occasion. The exercises were held on the steps leading to the entrance to the Carnegie Library, where a special platform was erected facing the college ellipse, which was crowded with spectators who came to witness the ceremonies. Marshal Foch and his military aides were met at the entrance to the university grounds by THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPE Inter-nat'l Cartoon Co., N. Y.

Congress Decides to Let Imperial Wizard Do His Own House Cleaning. (By International News Service.) The Ku Klux Klan investigation has received its quietus. The resolution for the Congressional probe lies in a stupor, if not dead, in the House Rules Committee. Colonel Simmons of Atlanta, the imperial wizard, is to be permitted to do his promised house cleaning in his own time and way, without interference by Congress. Chairman Campbell of the House Rules Committee, admitted there was no present intention on the part of the committee to report any resolution favoring an investigation by Congress of the Klan. In fact, the Rules Committee is not preparing any report of its own as a result of the preliminary investigation of the Klan. It is the expectation of members Congress interested in the Klan investigation that Congress will for- get the subject following its adjournment. Unless again aroused by public protest following some rowdy or lawless act attributed to the Klan, Congress will consign the threatened probe to the dead legislation cemetery, and Colonel Simmons' will be allowed to make the most from the wholesale advertisement that has been given him and his organization.
