Washington Hall was dedicated yes
terday by the Grand Fountain of the
United Order of True Reformers. The
building is at Twelfth and streets
northwest, and has been erected as
headquarters of the True Reformers of
the District of Columbia. The cost
was 100000. Rev. w. L. Taylor, presi-
dent of the National order, of Rich
mond, Va, presided at the dedicatory
services in the afternoon. Hon. j. G.
Dancy, recorder of deeds and Commits
sioner H. B. F. MacfarIand made ad-
dresses and letter of cOngratulat1on
was read from President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt was on the pro-
gramme for an address, but a letter
dated June Is, at the White House, in
formed the committee on arrange
ments that he could not be present.
Another letter from the President was
read at the same time when he was to
have spoken. 1t was addressed to Rev.
w. l.. Taylor, and read:
THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
MY Dear Sir: | wish / could be
present at the dedication of the hall.

al and beneficial organizations of this
character whose purpose is to teach
the lessons of thrift, economy, indus

No one can watch with more jealous
interest than l do the progress of the

The dedicatory exercises began at
1O:3O O'Clock. F. w. Dixon, secretary
OF the executive committee on dedica-

choir rendered "Solomon's Prayer" by

July 49, 1908:
Editor of The CoIored American:
Sir | desire to avail myself of the.
opportunity of replying to the article
in you most valuable paper of the 4th
instant headed South Carolina Poll
ties" in a writeup of one John G.. Ca
pers, late of Maryland and your city
If what you said of John G.. Capers in
said article be true, then you ought TO
get down upon your knees, apologize
to him and seek forgiveness for what
you have said of him and the other
criminal office holding Democrats that
were being foisted upon US in the is
sues of your paper during December,
1901, and subsequently in January,
February and March, 1902. You prop
erIy criticised them and their conduct
since justified everything you said at
the time stated. l shall take 1t for
granted then, that this last wrIteup
of John G. Capers is as advertisement,
and at advertisement rates. "Oh, con-
sistency, thou art a jewel" Yes, dur
ing that time there was nothing too
good for you to say of Hon. e. H. Deas
in commencing his course as wise and
great. etc. Well, what has caused this
presto changs?"
AS to Capers Revolutionary ances-
tors and historical matter, we care
nothing and admit all; but in passing
/ will say that frequently there is a
shabby or black sheep in nearly every
flock, and my experience is that scions
of great Sires are not what their faith
ers were. Most of them are beats,
deadheads, and are all things to all
men.
Capers now saddles all of these ap-
pointments upon McLaurin. That is,
you do so for him (Capers) and he
makes the fearful admission that they
are Democrats. Always heretofore
they were denominated Republicans,
while we know that they are Demo
Gratis. Well, l suppose it is of easy
rroof that McLaurin and Capers were
and are one, and the same person in
point of agreement and recommends
ton Of persons for office. Capers did
secretary work for McLaurin, even to
the extent of writing his newspaper
articles. McLaurin championed his
cause for District attorney and again
for member of the Republican Nation

of internal revenue and member of the
