Every Member Should Wear One.

It is the express wish Of the Central
Branch Of the N. A. A. G.. p. that all
members should wear a button show
ing their connection with this organ
tzation, that stands for the rights Of
our race. I have therefore in con.
formity with that desire received 100
buttons which will be sold to men,
bers at the small figure of thirty-five
cents (35c) each. The button is very
beautifully and artistically made and
one which every member should be
proud to wear. The Secretary will
always have number of these but
tons with him and will take no Of
Tense If stopped on the street or any
where else to purchase one. Let each
member have button. Wear It in a
conspicuous place, be prepared to tell
what 1t stands for when questioned
and thus advertise the Association for
the advancement of colored people.
A general meeting will take place
as early as is convenient and mem
bers are kindly asked to watch the

We have never known two injus-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be.
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with white man
when question arises between him
and one Of our color; still certain col.
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne.
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE PUBLIC:
I have been employed at the Raids.
son hotel as houseman for one month
under Mr.. N. ]. Wright and worked
with Mr.. Jack johnson. They have
made it very uncomfortable COR me
and caused my discharge. Both
claimed that should not rent a room
from a white woman, while we have
80 many colored women to rent from.
claim the right to rent from anyone
who has a room to suit me. Mr..
Wright Is a deacon of Bethesda Bap-
tist church and Mr.. johnson is known
to be very disagreeable. I take this
means to tell the public about these
men, who could do much to help men
in this position instead of using their
power to put them out of employment.

WAR CHEST FUND UNDER BAN.
Owing to the fact that the Crispus
Attucks Home was not on the list of

a protest against giving their money

coLoRED APPLICANTS REJECTED

The Bee desires to emphasize its
protest against the wholesale discrim-
ination in the Government depart.
ments against colored applicants who
have successfully passed the civil
service examination. What does 1t
mean? The Bee again asks. The col.
ored Americans are loyal to this Gov
ernment and they are doing every
thing in their power to aid the Ad-
ministration in the successful prose-
cution Of this war. What offense can
be charged against colored Ameri-
cans? The Bee asks again. The bars
have been lifted 80 that a certain IA
v0red class can pass muster without
an examination, while another class
is compelled to enter examination and
after passing successfully Is rejected.
What does it mean? A declaration
has been reported to this Office to the
effect that no colored people will be
appointed by this particular official.
In response to the request made by
The Bee last week, many persons
have announced that they have been
rejected by the departments. It is
necessary that every colored person
who has been rejected send in his or
her name at once. These names will
be presented to the proper heads at
once.
Advertisements are being published

have applied and been rejected, and
white ones cannot be obtained. Mes.
senger boys have been advertised for
and colored people have applied, only
to be refused. Is the assistance Of
colored Americans needed? If so,
they are willing and ready to respond
to their country's call.
II they are needed, and the Govern
ment is in need of help, why reject
colored applicants? Show one black
traitor in the ranks of colored Amer
leans and The Bee will show you one
million loyal colored Americans to one
black traitor. The Bee appeals to the
President of the United States to di.
rect the heads of his departments to
lift the bars of discrimination against
the colored Americans. They are
competent and loyal. Then why re-
ject them?
Il Every Southern railroad discrimi-
mates against the colored people with
out just cause. They are treated as
cattle when riding South. They are
directed to box car with no con-
veniences. Does the colored Amer
lean deserve such treatment? Mr..
President, we are with you, and, in
the name Of God, see that we are
given fair deal.-The Washington

Several colored men were beaten
last week by white soldiers, who had
an alteration with a Negro on g.

what they wanted near the Andrews

A woman writer, herself married
and twenty-three years of age, states
that q woman who expects to follow
an intellectual life should marry young
This is a sound view, for the woman
who fully appraises the value of her
intellectual life realizes that the best
years of the mind are those that come
after the age of most efficient child
bearing. 1t is a very different view
from that Of the young women In pro-
LESSONS which serve only to bridge the
few brief years between school days
and marriage, and for whom marriage
closes for ALI time participation in the
worlds work outside OF the home.
Clearly we car, never have an INTEL
leetual emancipation In the worlds
work program that would confine
professional life to the remarriage
days or make 1t Incompatible with
marriage. The first gives too brief a
period and must subordinate woman
to inferior clerical labor, while the
second would win intellectually at the
sacrifice OF normal life and confine
participation In the worlds affairs to
small and abnormal group Of womnn.

SKELETONS OF STONE AGE
Bones of Early People of Japan Show
They Were Six to Seven Feet
In Height

Fifteen human skeletons were I'M
earthedt In the province of Kawachi,
near Osaka. This is considered the
birthplace of japanese civilization. OF
the relics of the japanese stone age,
discovered by Professor Okushi, nine
of the skeletons were in perfect preser-
walton, all bones being intact, East and
West News says. 1t rarely happens,
according to scientific records, that so
many perfect skeletons are discovered
In one place.
Among indications that people of
that period lived on knocked food, is
the fact that upper and lower teeth
are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth
are not found. The bony structure of
the skeletons are massive; shin bones,
in most cases, are somewhat fat. Some
OF these skeletons stand seven feet
high; even shorter ones are over six
feetl Skeletons were found In lying
position, with knees drawn up. With
out doubt, these people belonged to
the stone age in Japan-30,OO years
ago, at least.
While making the excavation, stone
implements, earthenware and two cop
per arrowheads were found. Two white
jade earrings were discovered which
may be of Chinese origin, and of a
much later period. 1t is thought this
find may establish a link between the
stone and bronze ages In prehistoric
Japan. Archeologists hold that it
surely indicates the early people of
japan had intercourse with other parts
of Asia. The earthenware patterns
are not necessarily Ainu; the bones
cannot possibly be those Of Anus.
This discovery revolutionizes archeo-
logical theories of prehistoric Japan.

WHEN ONE is STRICKEN DEAF
AFFECTION Accompanies by Depression
Strangely and Intensely Over
towering, Says Writer.

The invariable depression that comes
with the beginning Of deafness is
strangely and1intensely oyerpowering.
1t exists sometimes indefinitely. The
word depression, as commonly used,
admits OF varied shades of meaning,
writes Margaret Baldwin, In the At
lantic. 1t all but carries with 1t q
vague impression Of lack OF will-power,
a more or less voluntary indifference to
moral effect. But let no one suppose
that its use here indicates any mere
dull, dispirited outlook on life, or any
other voluntary mental view of ones
self or ones future. There Is nothing
voluntary about 1t.
1t Is feeling deeply physical as well
as mental-a mingled condition of Woe
full sickness and sadness that beggarS
description: The distress and shock
over what has happened to one and
the first experience of what 1t is like,
Is the initial factor. But considering
what 1t ought to be as compared with
the shock of blindness, which, Ii seems
to me, must be sufficient to produce
permanent blacklist despair, the de-
preston Of deafness is out of all pro-
portion.

The writer has heard so many re-
marks on the navy uniform, about
the way they are made, etc. The fiat
cap is far from being nuisance. The
same applies to any cap. Get one
that fits the head and you will never
meet with such as accident as they
describe. Also there is stay in the
back of the fiat cap that makes it inn
possible to knock it off. On. the neck
erchief they are wrong again. True
enough, it was worn as badge OF
mourning for Lord Nelson. But If
our friend "Aaitch Ellen" will observe
closely, which it is seen he has failed
to do during his ten years of sea life
service, he will find four corded lines
on the border which represents the
four greatest naval battles. The
three stripes on the collar were not
handed to them by Johnny Bull; they
represent our three wars. Why the
V-neck jumper and collar? Because
the boys have to keep their clothes in
bags and the W-neck jumper and col
lar makes a very nice roll without
wrinkling. The pocket is not used
to carry couple of towels and q
shift of clothing in. 1t is for small ar.
ticles, such as matches, cigarettes
and it seems to accommodate hand
kerchief very nicely. The buttons or
the trousers represent the thirteen
original stars and stripes. White uni
forms are the cleverest of them all
land whoever introduced them de-
'iserves high praise.
