Fashion and hygiene are for once
combined in one object and that is the
elimination Of the beard. A few years
ago our glided youth were bearded
like the pard or as nearly so as Ma
ture permitted; now the beard is prac-
tically a forbidden thing to smart
young men, even as a decent covering
for a feeble chin. Hygiene is equally
ruthless. A German surgeon some
time ago vehemently denounced the
beard as a fertile source OF infection
during operations.-British Medical

A physician told the Wayfarer re-

A SQUARE ISSUE

We know that a discussion Of ques-
ton OF ethics with the Republican Will
be proitless. We are aware that it
will lodge every issue and fling mud in
copious quantities. but we have taken
issue with certain or its statements
and we propose TO have 1t out. Here
are rwo OF its statements:
There never was so many want-to-
win Republicans in the state OK Della
ware as there are today. They are the
men who ask nothing except that their
party shall be victorious at the polls
on election day. There are hundreds
Of men in the Republican party whom
you could not coerce or buy, who want
to see two United States Senators elect
ed not caring who they are SO they are
Republicans.
We do not say the Republican holds
these views. but it appears to be
preaching them. We repeat, however,
that men who are actuated by such mo-
tives ara not good citizens, whoever
they may be, and they are not fit to
exercise the right or franchise. We
say further that any party that is based
on such ideals advertises its depravity,
and deserves to be beaten.
Now here is a plain issue joined, and
we are willing to submit it to any
three men OF average intelligence and
good moral standing. II our contem-
porary chooses rather to submit it to
its readers. let it quote us fairly, and
not attempt to answer us by innuendo.
Isn't that proposition fair?

A GODDESS CHURCH.

Editor COlored American: We see
through the columns of your newsy
paper that one Mr.. Burton-a white
man-at Frankford, Del, secured a
little co1ored boy from a children's
home in New Jersey, whom he took to
the Unity M. E. Church with him.
But when the congregation saw that
this was a colored child they rose up
in arms against his presence in that
church. The minister, you tell us,
tried to sustain the gospel by uphold
ing for the boy; but he (the minister)
was advised to get a call to Negro
church if he preached to Negroes.
Peace, we are informed, was restored
only when Mr.. Burton told the con-
gregation that he wouldn't bring the
little child back again. Suffer little
children to come unto me-" saith the
Lord, "and forbid them not" etc.
Now Mr.. Editor, when we look care
fully and prayerfully at the words,
suffer little children to come unto
me-" we are bound to conclude that
the members of Unity NJ. e. Church
violated none Of the divine teachings
of Christ. For how in the world could
that little innocent co1Ored child
come unto Christ where there is no
Christi"
These people were right in rejecting
the presence of that little colored child
for their actions show that they have
rejected God. The Negro is not desir-
Gus of getting so far from God as to
be found seated in the congregation
Of the Unity M. E. Church, or any 9th
er church of it's ilk which has drifted
so low down in the scales of American
civilization.
We pray that Mr.. Burton and the
pastor Of the Unity M. E. Church may
,e saved, but we very much fear the
est of them are beyond redemption.

Editor COlored American: The
communication published in your last
issue under the head, Sowing and
Reaping," by Major Charles R. Doug
las, forces me to speak through your
Journal along the line delineated un-
er the above named caption. In
doing so, it is not for the purpose of
endeavoring to thwart the weight of
his argument but to the contrary to
commend. I think. however, the Ma
Jor is in error and makes a grave mis-
take when he orders you to direct
your gun upon the young Negro, with
view Of building up the breastworks
from a business standpoint among our
people. His order is a good one, but
10 IS biased, and if obeyed might prove
detrimental The Negro press has
been for the past twenty-five years di-
rected upon the white people of our
country, because of their disposition to
discriminate, intimidate and frustrate
us in our pursuit of life, liberty and
happiness. The Major commands:
Recover; Aim! At what? The young
Negro.
The command should be at the Ne
gro as whole and not at the young
men and women of our race. In say
lng this I do not mean to place my
