The hive theatres moving picture houses have added much to keep things buzzing and humming. Dancing never had such an inning, and may not have such another one until the war clouds pass away. Just now, there is a perceptible lull in all such activities, as is usual during the variable weather conditions of the springtime, until the summer outing days arrive. They are now near at hand, and the school teachers and vacations department emwho long at Govployees ernment expenses are already planning their outings; while the stay-at-homes figuring on how they will be able are to get the better of the excessive heat we usually, have life here while and doing get some pleasure The waiting colored patriots are beginning to show signs of "that tired feeling" as no openings are made for because the war activities, while the man and sister seem to revel in the good things.

It is not pleasant to look on while others are preferred on "account of race, color and, previous condition" to "hog" all of the good things which all citizens snould enjoy, share and share alike, saying or here "fifty- is, as the common meaning, as Colonel Roosevelt uses it, "a square deal all round," or an "even break-away," as between two or more persons engaged in any sort of competition. And, isn't life one long drawn out competition? Sure, colored Washingtonians find it to be so, with the odds in favor of "the white fellow" all of the time. The shame of it. A colored Democratic patriot dropped wearily into a chair Saturday, in THE AGE, Bureau, and said: "I have just been reading in THE AGE of this week how the colored men are restricted in serving the Government to the four Regular Regiments, and how, when they have offered their services more generally in Southern cities than the white patriots, the recruiting officer has been notified not to recruit any more. The same hard and fast rule holds also in the navy.

I am a Democrat, it is true, but this sort of thing makes me very tired, to use a slang expression. We have no way to serve the Nation as soldiers except through the National Guard of the States, and we have only representation in the National Guard of Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, and Illinois, I believe, and only in a restricted sense in those States; while in all of the Southern States we have no representation in the National Guard, because they will stand for colored soldiers. It all makes 'a pretty made no comment, for, although a woman, I am tired also, as' our women, I find, have almost as hard a time to get chance to serve the Government as our men. If we can wait long enough, as we did when the Civil War was on, and the Government gets in a tight place, as the exactions of the war grows, we may get the chance that is now denied us. Let us hope it may be so, The proposed testimonial dinner to Governor P.

B. S. Pinchback, which will be held on June 2, in honor of his 80th birthday, grows in favor among the people, and promises to be "a famous affair." There will be many of the Governor's host of friends from all over the country present. That is now the expectation. The Governor is seldom seen in his old haunts nowadays, but we all know where he is and can be found, and we all love and respect him for the good and faithful work he did for the race when it was young in the struggle for freedom during and after the Civil War.

There is much and favorable comment here on the proposal of a local association that a Commercial Ex.change be established here, for the purpose. of stimulating business enterprises among the colored people and to encourage. those already established. One of the colored newspapers here says of the undertaking: "What is the matter with the industrial and commercial life of Washington?" and the other one says: "The 100,000 Negroes of Washington, almost exclusively wage earners and salary earners, have, to our certain knowledge, only one general retail store that is a credit to them, probably not a dozen grocery stores of any size, not a single district shoe store or hat store or clothing store, or millinery store; not a wholesale store, not a factory of respectable capacity, nor transportation company of any consequence. They once controled here many branches of professional labor and other service wherein they catered to a large, satisfied, white patronage.

They have lost in most of those professions." It is a gloomy situation. If the proposed Commercial Exchange can be got, going and work a change for the better it will deserve well of the present and future of the race among us. No race can be' rich and prosperous that does not buy nor sell among themselves most of the things they wear, and drink, for the profit is in such things, makes those rich who handle them. The building activity in street, northwest, in the Twelve hundred block, for business purposes, continues to be noticeable. The structures are small, as have said, but most of such business development as we have is small, with plenty of room for expansion.

Rev. R. W. Christian, whose stalwart form is often seen on street, is about the most satisfied colored Democrat who has come here since Inauguration Day, and that is because he is the only on who' has managed to get on the Government payroll. He shows his satisfaction in his long stride when walking and, and continuous smile when standing and Shelby J.

Davidson, the active president of the Howard University Alumni Association, is a practicing lawyer, but his real estate business is fast driving him out of the active practice of the law.

Let me urge each and every one of you to his We know that we have not at all times received the fairest treatment. Ask for the things, to which you are entitled as American citizens and be prepared to render ser-vice wherever you are permitted to serve.
