NET VOLUME XXXIII. NO. 42 DR. R.H. BOYD A BIG BUSINESS FAILURE HAS HANDLED MILLIONS OF THE DENOMINATION'S MONEY AND HAS ACCUMULATED NOT A PENNY'S WORTH OF PRO- PERTY. (By W. H. Morrys ) (1) Dr. R. H. Boyd succeeded a long time in making many people believe he was a successful business man and a rare builder of National Baptist enterprises. (a) The following editorial in the Union Review shows that some people, like Editor Frank, who have not closely observed the situation, are still under the illusion that Dr. Boyd is a successful man, capable of doing great things for the National Baptist Publishing Board and Convention. Editor Frank said: "Dr. R. H. Boyd is to be congratulated upon the fact that everywhere the people are 'staying by the stuff.' It will be a long time before the thinking colored Baptists will deliberately destroy the one towering monument to constructive, serving, goodness. Many happy returns of anniversaries marking the triumphs of the man who created something out of nothing." (b) For nearly twenty years the whole denomination and the race and country lived under the same Illusion. Dr. Boyd's annual reports from the very first made us believe that he was a genius. And when we were informed that he had built up a Publishing Plant worth three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and made a private fortune on the side for himself, the denomination, the race, and the world cried: "Sublime!" and sung his praises from ocean to ocean. The business men of the race gave him "front-line" opportunities in all big business enterprises belonging to the race. All unfavorable criticism of the Boyd policy was presented by the business men of the race, as well as the leaders of his denomination. They said Boyd reserved any private fortune he may have made on the side, while he was making three hundred and fifty thousand for the denomination, and the denomination said: "Amen!" with an implied willingness to allow the Boyd to operate the Publishing House until death, and then give his children opportunity to follow in his footsteps. ( c ) Having known for quite a while, and told the denomination months ago, that the people generally were mislead with respect to the business ability of Dr. Boyd and the status of the Publishing Board, and the purpose of his present disintegrating national propaganda, and knowing that some people are encouraging him in his present destructive course, and saying we are "destroying the only successful business genius of the Baptist Church," and when in reality, "there is no stuff to stay by, no serving genius, no taxing monument, and no possibilities of the happy return of many anniversaries marking the triumphs of the man who created something out of nothing." I decided to let the people know that: Dr. R. H. Boyd is a monumental business failure. Dr. R. H. Boyd, and the National Baptist Publishing Board, of which he has been business manager, secretary and treasurer for twenty years, have not accumulated a penny's worth of property for the denomination or board. (1) The little real estate and machinery bought by the Board through R. H. Boyd, its paid agent, and deeded to the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention. (a) The deeds exhibited all over the country by Secretary Boyd and the photographs of the property exhibited with this article, together with the often-repeated statement of Dr. Boyd, show that the National Baptist Publishing Board has less than twelve thousand dollars' worth of real estate in the State of Tennessee. Dr. Boyd tells us that the main building, marked "A" in the photograph, cost ten thousand dollars. His lawyer, who bought it for him, says it cost eight thousand dollars. Let us accept Dr. Boyd's figures. Dr. Boyd tells us that the center building, marked "B" in the photograph, belongs to Boyd and Beckham, for which the Publishing Board pays them $15,000 for a ten-year lease. Dr. Boyd tells us that the other three lots, marked "C" in the photograph, were bought by Mrs. Boyd for nine hundred dollars and sold to the National Baptist Publishing Board. State Secretary Appointed Mr. J. H. McGrew, formerly of Buxton, Indiana, has been appointed State Secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A. in Virginia. He will be permanently located at 308 N. 9th Street, Richmond, Va. His appointment dates from August 1, 1914. TO PAY HIS WAY TO GLORY. *Masses* In the Roman Catholic Church for the release of souls from murgatory have long been said by the priests and paid for by the deceived people. But probably this superstition never got a firmer hold upon any one than upon William J. Kelley, who recently died in Jersey City, N. J. In his will he provided that after his death 7,300 masses should be said. 6,000 for himself and the remainder for relatives and friends. These masses will cost $250 apiece, making the total amount paid for them $1,825, 000. It is remarkable that in this enlightened age any one can hold to such a doctrine. He must have had very little faith in the prayers of the priests or also have felt that he was a very great sinner. If one mass is offered each day it will take eighteen years for them all to be said. It is to be presumed that he expected to spend at least that much time in the sufferings of purgatory. We, find much more comfort in the belief that Jesus, the Son of God, by His death on the cross paid the whole debt of sin, and that the souls of those who believe in him do, at their death, "immediately pass into glory." --- BODY TURNS BLACK, BUT LIVES. Genesso, N. Y., Aug. 26.—Wandering about the recesses of an unused passageway of the Retrofit Mining Company's salt mine, about a mile and a half from this city, for the past fifteen days, keeping alive by eating salt brine, was the story told today by Bennie Godowsky, who was found by a searching party. He was still conscious when found, although his body had turned entirely black. Two weeks ago Godowsky, employed in the salt mine, became separated from his companions, and before he could reach the shaft of the mine the electric lights went out. Wandering through the various passages, he struck an unused shaft and becoming fatigued fell into a pool of oak brine. Here he lay, exhausted, eating nothing but salt from the side of the mine and drinking nothing but the brine at his feet. Physicians declared that the blackness of his body was the result of drinking and lying in the brine, and they gave that as the cause for his being alive. WOMAN'S ASSAILANT LYNCHED Shreveport, La., Aug. 26.—A molt of about 1,000 citizens of the oil section of Caido parish stormed the town jail at Vivian, 20 miles north of Shreveport, today, took possession of Jess Hammert, colored, and hanged him to a telegraph pole. Hammert had confessed to entering the bedroom of Mrs Walter George, wife of an oil driller, armed with a butcher knife and making an attempt to attack her. --- Miss Lillian L. Moore is visiting Indianapolis and Chicago, Illinois. Rev. R. G. Adams, of Farmville, Va. and Mr. John Adams, of New York, called on us.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1916 THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS CONGRESS The stars in their courses side with a race fighting for its rights... — The Historical Test. Boston, Mass.—This year 1916 for Colored Americans is historically critical. It marks the accountability year of the first Southern president since freedom, and the half-century since the passage by Congress of the Civil Rights Bill and of the 14th Amendment creating their Citizenship. For some years we have been losing up rights and citizenship, in law or practice, South and North, an omnious sign. At the height of such a year what is to be the answer of Colored American, itself, what it's historical record? It is not enough to vote against the perilous Wilson. Even so, he might be reclected. Shall the historian of tomorrow—and he will be a white man, perhaps this same Wilson—record that under a race prescription suffered not so much he any other race, 50 years after receiving citizenship, 12 gallon strong, this Colored race, alone of like race groups, was incapable of itself creating and maintaining organized self-defense of rights on a national basis? HOW RECORD OF RACE CAN BE SAVED. Religious, fraternal, charity, bus- ness organization, local organization for rights or national by the philan- thrope aid a foble friends, are all most excellent, but do not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the form- ation of an Equal Rights Comittee by Colored Americans in each Colored community. Have it understood that these committees are for cooperation with other organizations and all difficulty is removed. They are to prevent the charge of no self- fight or initiative, are for members of all other organizations to join, and are not to interfere. The great OPPORTUNITY comes NOW. Every Colored community should form an Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D.C. In one month's time by the Nati- ional Equal Rights League, whose branches hold up this cause, but in not enough places. Through the Cong- ress or league these Equal Rights Committees—the very name has power—can be nationally connected. Send either a delegate or a message to the Congress. Thus, without any interference with existing agencies, our race can save its own historical record and by selfhelp and spirit, retain a valid claim before mankind to Equality of Rights. Act now, Colored America! WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. REV. HECTOR ARRESTED Made to Ride in a Police Patrol—Ballot at First Police Station. Rev. A. A. Hector, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, boarded a street car at Fifth and Leigh streets last Tuesday shortly after 6 P. M. He occupied the third seat from the door at the rear end. When the car was opposite the City Hall, the conductor directed him to take the last seat. Rev. Hector did so. About five minutes afterwards, he came to him and directed him to move to the other end of the side seat that he occupied, although no passengers wanted to sit down, and although no other passengers came to occupy the seat. The case was called in the Police Court last Wednesday and Rev. Hector was fined $10.00 He noted an appeal. Mr. William Miller went on Rev. Hector's bond. BEV. B. G. ADAMS DESIGNS Pastor of First Baptist Church, at Farmville Sends in Resignation. Farmville, Va. Aug. 3, 1916. To the Officers and Members of said Congregation: Dear Brethren and Sisters,—I have served you as pastor eight years and four months. Within the last thirty years you have had six pastor's: Dr. Quarles, Mitchel, Merchant, Kirby, Cheek and Adams. Dr Quarles served you five years; Mitchel, five and a half; Merchant, two years; Kirby, four years; Cheek, five years and a few months, and Adams, eight years and seven months, including the three months I am to remain. You can, at once, see the pastorate care, of our church, so far as the length of time each one remained, of a short duration, and that my stay is a record-breaker in the history of our church. I came to you eight years and four months ago and found a divided church. A church divided long before I was known by them; one faction against the other. More than two thirds of the membership present voted for me in the election of pastor. I must confess, during all the years, I have not been able to unite these two factions in the church. Feeling that the relation between pastor and church can be more congenial in some other field, or congregation, thereby, more good accomplish for the uplift of humanity, spreading the gospel of Christ and the saving of souls in the Master's vineyard. Thus, I have decided to hand in my resignation as pastor of the church, to take effect in ninety days from the regular church meeting in this month, viz: Thursday before the fourth Sunday. Now may the benediction of Heaven rest upon you. Yours in, His name. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas, our pastor, Rev. R. G. Adams, has served as pastor for more than eight years, and who, on account of so much dissatisfaction on the part of some of the members, handed in his resignation as pastor of First Baptist Church, Farmville, Va. We, the members of the First Baptist Church, feel it our bounded duty, as a Christian Church, since he has served faithfully during his pastorate care, in his Christian character, as a preacher of the gospel of Christ; we commend him in the discharge of his duty while with us, and take this opportunity to express our desire and best wishes for his success in the future. Resolved. First, That Rev. R. G. Adams is held in high esteem and is regarded by us as a man of great ability, influence, capacity, and a preacher of no mean attachments. Resolved. Second, That we commend him to the general public, and whatever community or congregation is successful in securing its services will find in him the qualities characterizing a true gospel minister. Resolved. Third, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the face of the minutes of this church and a copy be given the pastor. Done by the orders of the First Baptist Church, Farmville, Va. this day, August 27, 1916. R. G. Adams pastor; P. H. Hilton, clerk; Rev. R. M. Robinson, chairman. Win× a Talking Machine Mrs. M. M. Moss, cashier of the American Beneficial Insurance Company, is now the happy possessor of one of the Planet price talking machines. She secured through the effort of herself and friends, one hundred dollars worth of umbrella coupons. The plan is simple. We allow a coupon for every penny paid into the Planet office on job work, subscriptions or advertising. Thirty dollars worth of these coupons entitles the holder to an umbrella, detachable at the handle and at the other end. It can be placed in a suitcase or in a trunk. The subscriber who wishes a copy of Paul Laurence Dunbar's Works, may secure the same for the same amount of coupons. It is a simple matter to ask people to subscribe to the Planet. It will profit them and benefit you. LABOR DAY CELEBRATION. The Labor Day Celebration to be staged at Hoover's Field, Virginia Union University, by the Spartan Literary and Athletic Association, will be the most remarkable celebration of Labor Day ever undertaken by colored people. The programme will be novel and entertaining, and includes a variety of events, in which all may participate. Sparting, wrestling, running and physical culture demonstrations are the features of the strong athletic card. The running and obstacle races in which girls will participate, will be funny and exciting. A fast baseball game between the Spartan and the Southern Aid All Insurance teams will furnish real sport for the most enthusiastic fan. Much interest is being manifested in the wrestling match between Hanks and Butler, and the sparting exhibition between two of the Spartans. The contestants have been selected from a long list of eligible, and are trained and proficient performers. Music and vaudeville will add to the enjoyment of the patrons of the affair. Busses will be operated between the car line and the grounds, and refreshments will be served all day. Valuable prizes will be awarded the winners in the athletic events, and the Spartan Association will give free membership tickets to the purchasers of the lucky tickets. The Capital City Lodge of Elks of this city, who recently won three of the five prizes offered by the Grand Lodge in Philadelphia, has been invited to occupy the place of honor in the street parade. The programme will start promptly at 2 P. M., and continue without intermissions. THE THRIFT CAMPAIGN THE THRIFT CAMPAIGN (B. W. H. Davenport) Editor The Planet: At the request of the Richmond Branch of the "Nation-wide Thrift Campaign Committee," I send The Planet the first of a series of articles to be published for the enlighment of the public mind on the subject of Thrift or the systematic habit of saving. In performing this service, I can only hope to touch upon a subject of such vast scope, including as it does, political economy, finance, banking, exchange money and property. I shall merely attempt to outline in an introductory way the subject of Thrift, leaving it to the writers who follow me to elaborate on the kindred topics mentioned above. First. The American Bankers Association has inaugurated a Nation-wide money saving plan, through it: Savings Bank Section. Second. The purpose of this plan is to encourage and train every mah woman and child in the United States to deposit in some Bank a portion of MR. W. H. DAVENPORT his or her wages each day, week or month as the case may be. If this were done, or even approximated, what a tacitly sum could be saved each year in this country. Third. This Plan is confined to no particular class of race of people. It is an open door to all. The man with his five talents or with two, or even one, can cast in his money and wait patiently to receive his money and interest and retain both principal and interest again, and in a few years he becomes an independent, self-made man or woman. Fourth. John Mitchell, Jr. is the first and only colored Banker to become a member of the American Bankers Association. This Association, which is one of the most influential organizations in the world, is one of the very few white organizations to admit colored men to its councils. John Mitchell, Jr. represents 12,000 of his race in this financial body. His race owns $10,000,000 worth of property and when Mitchell goes up to the yearly meetings of those millionaires he surely represents some millions, too. Editor Mitchell's high associations have not turned his head nor caused him to forget his people. Chiefly through his great tact and commute ability our race is recognized by the American Bankers Association and allowed to share in its giant transactions. If for no other reasons than self-interest we ought to follow where Mitchell leads along financial lines for he has never led us along the road infested with "thieves and robbers," as some of our would-be leaders have done. Those of my readers who have read Home on the "Foundations of National Wealth" and the celebrated Adams Smith's work on "The Wealth or Nations" will remember that both of these writers placed Thrift as the foundation upon which the whole superstructure of national and individual financial power rests. When this foundation is removed nations, races and individuals sink and only a memory of them is left upon the pages of history... as in Egypt, Greece, Rome and the American Indians. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Spain was the richest nation. The wealth of the Indies and the Americans was hers. The Spaniards became thrifless and today Spain is one of the poorest of the nations. We hear a great deal those days about the conservation of our resources. This simply means that the American people must save more and waste less or they will go the way of Greece and the other great peoples of the past. This Nation-wide Thrift Campaign is therefore a star of the first magnitude for our race, as it rises upon our horizon. Let us follow it as did the wise men of old, the Star of Bethlehem, for it leads on to the glorious day, "Peace and good will among men." In conclusion I would counsel our race to support Mr. John Mitchell in this Thrift Movement, which is not confined to the colored people of the city of Richmond and the State of Virginia but is intended to reach the Negroes of every State. Sometimes we are not to become discouraged as a race and begin to think that all the doors or hope are shut against us. But when one door is shut another opens. So let us struggle on and trust God, for His purposes ripen fast. THE NATIONAL IDEAL TO MEET IN WASHINGTON, D. C.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE Charged with criminally assaulting a fourteen-year-old girl in Sumter, S. C. R. B. McLeod, about thirty-five years old, was arrested here yesterday by Sheriff W. W. Sydnor, of Richmond County. The offense was committed March 15, and Deputy Sheriff J. H. Forbes, of Sumter, came to Richmond yesterday after hearing that McLeod was here. It is said that McLeod, who is a married man, adopted the girl he was assaulted when she was three years old, and that she has been living with him and his wife ever since. The man denied the charge that he had attacked the girl, and upon being questioned why he left Sumter, stated that a physician told him there it would be safer for him to leave the State. After his arrest McLeod was placed in the Henrico jail by Sheriff Sydnor, until Deputy Sheriff Forbes, of Sumter, left with him for that city yesterday afternoon. McLeod agreed to accompany the officer without the execution of extradition papers.—Richmond Virginian, Aug. 28. ```markdown ``` DR. BOYD IS A MONUMENTAL FAILURE (Continued from First Page) for fifteen hundred dollars, and is being used by Boyd and Son for operating their National Baptist Church Supply Department. Thus, according to Dr. Boyd's own desk, photographs and statements, the Publishing Board has only eleven thousand and five hundred dollars worth of real estate in Nashville, and that has not been improved since it was bought, but the Boyd Rockham property was improved with a building in which was placed all the machinery of the Publishing Board, paying Boyd and Rockham fifteen thousand dollars for the ten-year lease. The three lots, paid to be in Panama, belongs right to the Home Mission Board of which Boyd was secretary, when the purchase was paid, "at better unanticipated. It was held in trust by the Publishing Board. Oh Now, in Dr. Boyd's own official history of the National Baptist Publishing Board, he tells us that much of his machinery was bought second handed, at about twenty cents on the dollar of the cost of the new twenty years ago. That is bound to be much worn after twenty years of use day and night. The man chitty in that Publishing Plant would not bring over fifteen thousand dollars at the highest for Boyd has gone slow about buying machinery or making improvements during these ten years of unrest. Thus, $11,500 worth of real estate plus $15,000 worth of worn machinery would be $25,000 worth of all property owned by the National Baptist Publishing Board. (2) New, Dr. Boyd and the National Baptist Publishing Board report to the country in the Election Review, following the Boyd Jones executive Board meeting at Nashville in February, 1916, says "The National Baptist Publishing Board is thirty thousand dollars indebted." Now, since the Publishing Board owns only $25,000 worth of property, and owes $30,000, then the liabilities are $25,000 greater than the assets. While the mortgage on the first piece of property is unpaid. If Boyd and his so-called Board would give the denomination $30,000 for that so-called $75,000 plant, mitus the privations of its charter and petroline, the deal would be closed tomorrow, and the case in court dismissed. There is not a business man in the country who would agree to pay that thirty-thousand dollar debt for that little real estate and an old worn machinery of the National Baptist Publishing Board not trying to get that debt and junk at 7:30, we are trying to regain our franchise granted us by the laws of Texas to keep for Boyd and his associates from getting the valuable patronage of the three million Negro Baptists for their private pursues. (2) The commercial rating of the National Baptist Publishing Board is not predicated upon that little "real estate and scrap from" at 1557 Market Street, Nashville, Tennessee, but on the patronage of the National Baptist Convention, which is taking away from Boyd and his associates who have denied that they are authorized, or subject to, any National Baptist Convention. (a) Such little attention is paid to the machinery by Publishing concerns and the fixers of value until most Publishing houses do not attempt to print literature at all, but have their printing done. The Southern Baptist Sunday School Board does not print literature, but makes thousands out of its patronage. The Northern Publication Society does attempt to own printing machinery, but their patronage brings thousands to the denomination. Bond claims that he only prints for the purpose of giving a hundred Negro employment. Well, the truth is there are only --- Negro working at the publishing house, and they are on half time since we are with drawing advantage of it for the denomination. (b) The patronage of the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention is worth more than a hundred thousand dollars a year. The commercial rating of the Publishing Board is said to be $350,000 fat, or an average of a hundred thousand dollars a year, as the following figures from sixteen annual reports of the Board will show: No. of periodicals, 10232433; money received, 182.7141.11. In the year 1908—Letters sent out. 224642;. No. of periodicals, 1001009; money received 177.5079.1. In the year 1909—Letters sent out. 294400; No. of periodicals, 9428529; money received 182.856.23. In the year 1910—Letters sent out. 272409; No. of periodicals, 9025160. In the year 1911— Letters sent out. 306559; No. of periodicals, 9024261. In the year 1912— Letters sent out. 722223. Total. $1. 731.009 $3. You see from the above that the periodical patronage alone was morth more than two million dollars in twenty years. And Dr. Roy is fighting to retain the privilege of that patronage for the private use of himself and associ ates in coming years. (b) The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which furnishes press, pubs, chairs, desks, books and book cases, planes, organs, sewing machines, song books, bathtubs, banners belts and other church supplies, was operated as an independent business concern owned by Bod and Son, under the same roof, using the help of the National Baptist Publishing Board with the people under the impression that it belonged to the National Baptist Publishing Board, of the National Baptist Convention. A thing unboard of in any other denomination to the world. We granted him all of these privileges after he had taken them, and then he attempted to take the whole franchise, not allowing the denomination to do business in his own name and use its own patronage. (23) After having had millions of dollars of the denomination's money and twenty years in which to build up a great publishing house that would honor the name of the Birds in generations to come, and be a blessed base of operation for the denomination and race to take advantage of the printed page in building up the Kingdom of the race, God proves himself a monumental business failure trying to break up his denomination to hide his shame. (24) Why, God is a pitiful prince, is compared to Secretary Prost of the Great Southern Baptist Publishing Company, who has given his denomination a great paper, costing ten dollars of dollar, and contributing one year as much as a hundred thousand dollars to other departments of the denomination's work. the Road has more than three times as much portrage as Secretary President of the A M E Church Public House and yet that more portrage of a DAY a layman, took over the english long street Road is supposed to be heralded as the bird-bath of the Nerro race and butler is equipped a pubbish house word two times as much as the stilton the old dollar Main Building with a rooftop uppaid and the little house made very much of two times as much of a third thousand dollar Examining the photographs of the two pubbish houses in this paper and hear your heads in shame Negro Battles. Hood cannot favorably compied with the business manager of the Little C M E Church publishers house, who has not only done his work well, but gave twelve thousand dollars to the church extension department of his denomination during the present or past year while Hood has not given other departments of his denomination a cent, and has not given the property of the Board but himself the property that will set up every penny the plant is worth and he forbidding to take the patron from his denomination for his personal use, on the property of it. Dr. Boyd has proven himself to be the most accomplished secretary of the National Baptist Convention. Secretary Burroughs has given the demonstration in $5,000 worth of school property in the District of Columbia, and is doing a work second to none in this country, white or black. She has done wonders to develop denomination education and union, and has helped the Foreign Mission Board more than any other board, aside from the Foreign Mission board itself. Boyd has left the denomination without a penny's worth of property. Secretary Isaac, at whom Boyd has delighted to poke fun, and call a "hurry Blunders," and the man who cannot get out this stuff for the people, vet lease, with all ports of oids against him, and in face of the fact that every National White B. Y. P. Board had given up the attempt to furnish Literature and keep office open, has gone all over the country trying to help save the denomination from weakening, and develop efficiency among the rising generation. Secretary Griggs of the educational board, whom Dr. Royd has done his best to disgrieve and make the world believe that he is a business failure, because years ago he attempted to establish a publishing house, which went down. Griggs took that board, which is considered the hardest board in the country, to build up, because each state in the South fosters some kind of an educational work, and has created a sentient which is materializing in a hundred thousand dollar National Baptist Theological Union. He had not Boyd brought a fight in the National Baptist Convention, to which Griggs had to give the major portion of his time while the Southern Convention was waiting to see the outcome of the struggle. —staying by what stuff? Boyd: we gave us no stuff to stay by. We gave him thousands of dollars worth of patronage for twenty years, and he has done nothing with it but waste it, and given us trouble, and then he happily applauded to do business for himself and privately to do business for himself and his family and associates. (f) Dr. Boyd cannot be compared with our pastors as a successful business man. Hundreds of our pastors have built churches coating all the way from one thousand to one hundred thousand dollars, all over the country to the tune of millions of denominational property for unborn generations, while Boyd, who had the greatest opportunity of any church man of his day to build up a great denominational concern, has been going around for twenty years, posing as a "business genius" and has given the denomination nothing but a desperate fight which came near rendering it in twain from top to bottom to the denomination to appropriate name of the Board and patronage for the private use of bliss and associates to whom the denomination had entrusted the operating of the Publishing Board. I do not here charge Dr. Rood and his repudiated associates with disloyalty. I charge them with despair in their humiliating business. Failure, due to innate incompetence, ignorance, and the lack of true and faithful denominational insight and outlook—desperation which seeks any port in a storm. 11. Concern to the authority of省省 Dr. Rood has not made a fortune for himself and family. Dr. Rood does not know how to use his opportunities. (1) Neither Dr. Rood nor his spelled wife owns any real estate worth mentioning. (2) The Roods were without a decent home until 1925. They did light housekeeping in the office building of the National Baptist Publishing Board. Dr. Rood has a spelled home now in the coloured setting of Nashville, but no other large real estate holdings in Nashville. Now the Royal children are building homes in the last three of four years, like all other young people of moderate wages. 10. The boys have a little property in Texas, and a few unimproved lots in the far east, undeveloped state of Washington. There is not a man in this country, who can name any property owned by the Boys' worth monitoring. Purchased town of Nashville have long since been aware of that fact. 11. The boys have no cash money, stocks or bonds worth monitoring. They may have been boarding a few dancers during the last few years. 12. The boys have no commercial rather a side from the Publishing Board. That little doll baby business has never amounted to anything worth while. The pew business began to fall off as soon as the deposit pattern disappeared that it was a private business taking the advantage of the denomination. 13. The Boys' would not humiliate themselves, as we know they have had to do, in borrowing money to keep things together, like the rest of us if they had cash money or stocks and bonds amounting to enough to be reckoned among the rich. The known pretense of the Boys to be rich is incompatible with the spirit of the people who had money without people knowing where they have it. Honest people, who love display, do not hide their boardings. (b) The Boys know the value of commercial rating with Dunn and Bradstreet, and, if they had good money and property, they would get commercial rating. The cold truth is that the Boys are not rich and we do the family a great injustice when we impure wealth to them. They have had great opportunities to get rich and they have tried hard to get rich, but they have lacked business ability to do it. In conclusion I wish to say First, that the Board attempts to divide the denomination, and take the Publisher for Plast and the patronage and prizes of our franchise is his last desperate struggle to deceive the members of his board, and the people to the National Baptist Publishing Board for the denomination, which took a long risk with an untrained map, and accumulated a decent living for himself and family for the coming years. (a) Dr. Boyd has shown a determination to create confusion and division in the ranks of the National Baptist Convention to prevent the people from discovering that there is "no stuff to stand by," nor and constructive genius to honor in the coming areas. So he denies both divisions of the National Publishing Convention control over the interest in the National Baptist Publishing Board, that he might disgust both as he has done, unless they allow him to hide his humiliating business failure, and give him an opportunity to bluff the denomination out of the valuable franchise and denominational patronage. (b) If Boy thought that his nine associates could control that franchise independently, independent of the National Baptist Convention, he would do all he could to keep the denomination together for the sake of their patronage. But For knew that many of his associates and his knew that neither the denomination nor the major portion of his own board knew. (c) But, instead of doing all he can to unite the denomination, he trying to split every association and convention in the country, in order to form another new combination, which will give him absolute latitude and all the patronage for all the time. So Brother Boyd tries to irritate and aggrigate the leading man of the denomination by exalting his ignorance and unfitness, pretending to be a business genius, a shrewd manipulator in the field of high finance, who has taken three hundred and fifty thousand dollars from the denomination who trusted him to conduct its publishing business, without getting in the meshes of the law, laughed laughed laughed in heart which discredit the words his tongue uttered, saying: "Where are all the educated men of the race, when I, the old ignorant Cowboy, was taking the Publishing Board from the people? I have built the plant around me like a jug. You cannot get me out, unless you break the jug. But I can take it away from you whenever I get good and ready. I was work- my when you look' men were gone. All of that is more bluff to hide your miserable monumental business failure. But your dodge was like the outcrit dodge, with your head in the sand, and your record open to the gaze of educated men who trusted and honored you as educated men never trusted and honored ignorance before, and now they pity your stupidity, and unbridled, audacity in attempting to pretend that you have succeeded, and that you have the right to take the people's franchise from patronage and keep the denomination from doing business in its own name, after you have wasted twenty years of their precious time and money, with their publishing house that cost ten thousand dollars twenty years ago, with the morgage still on it, and the plant staggering under but of old secondhand machinery, ready for the junk pile, with a debt of thirty thousand dollars, ... laborers working on half time, with a pastoral editor living hundreds of miles away, trying to deceive the people, and splitting up the Baptists of this country, saying, "Dr. R. H. Boyd is to be congratulated upon the fact that everywhere the people are standing by the stuff." It will be a long time before the thinking colored Baptists will destroy the one towering monument to constructive genius. Many happy returns of the anniversary marking the triumphs of the one man who created something out of nothing. BUNK, DR. FRANK, EDITORIAL ROT! Bood is a monumental business failure! Wake up, Baptists, and let us wipe out the shame of this publishing business, about which we have been bragging, and show our American Methodist brethren, and the world that we still have a patronage worth three hundred thousand dollars, and under God, we will, at this time another year, have a National Baptist Publishing Plant commemorate with our patronage! --- THE REJUVENATED BOYDTON INSTITUTE The sound of hammer, saw and workman moving about working in earnest can be seen any day, except Sundays, around Boydton Institute. Very soon after the new principal, Rev. J. J. H. Hartman, arrived in Boydton, last September, it was evident that something was doing at the Institute. New shocks, for to be shelter for wagon, bungles, and implements, also for wagon cattle, and enlargement of wagon shed were soon under way and completed before the winter storms came on. In the spring, new horses and implements, with increase of help, showed results in large crops being put in and well fertilized. Fence posts were put in through the timber land to serve for pasture. Along with this must be mentioned the beautiful sign on the front of the building painted by Mr. John G. Buaye, one of the staff of new workers, who also painted machinery, burgesses, etc. As soon as the Institute closed, began the repairs and improvements. New timbers under floors, new floors and ceiling, cupboards, etc., were specially put in as well as broken window panes replaced. Then began the painting which must be seen to be appraised. The Chapel underwent a thorough renovation. It is now a beautiful room with its clear white ceiling blue walls light oak grained seats put pants, doors and window sills. Window screens have been put on dining room, kitchen, serving room, pantry, and Chapel Every window will be covered by another year for the Principal is a believer in sanitary rooms. The Principal has arranged for a grand Rally of all the Old Students and friends at the opening of the Fall Term, Sept. 6. There will be an all-day program with an out door lunch for friends thrown in. At 11 A.M. will be the dedication exercises in which the Faculty will take part. Rev. W. M. Turunaki, Educational Secy. of the Christian and Missionary Alliance is expected to be present and preach the sermon. The Boydton Institute Association will hold a session of business in afternoon. They are preparing a program full of reminiscences of the "Old days" for the evening. Every friend of the Institute will be welcome all day. The applications give premise of a large school this fall. CITY'S STABLE 15 BIG GEST NUISANCE Chief Sanitary Officer Tuck Com- pulsed to the administrative board today that the worst stable nuisance he knew of at the present time was maintained by the city at Fifteenth and Marshall streets. He also sig- gested that if the street cleaning de- partment which with the health de- pt. is under the administrative board, would not carry out sanitary regula- tions, the board could not expect him to enforce the law against other violi- tors of stable regulations. "Commissioner McCarthy character- ized this part of the communication as importment and stated that the chief sanitary officer should prosec- ute and all violators, the city in included. Farther on in the same com- munication the chief sanitary officer stated his intention of citing every one responsible for the nuisance into police court, unless it was abated within thirty days. Chairman Hirschberg produced evidence that the board had instructed the superintendent of street cleaning to advertise for bids for city manure and for its daily removal. It was shown that the contract was awarded to Harney Brill on his bid of $190. Brill turned over a check of $190 to the city and/or July 12 for the manure for one year, but he has not been removing it every day. There is now two tons of manure in an open lot, Secretary Officer Tucker said. The board now wants to know from Superintendent Henry Cohn, of the street cleaning department, why the provisions of the contract are not being carried out—News-Leader—Aug. 25, 1916. --You never get tired.

Home gardeners in many sections of the South and Southwest where crops have been gathered or are now nearing maturity, need not reconcile themselves to the existence of bare or unproductive land from now until next spring, according to garden specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. With judicious choice of crops and locations, they may plant seeds from now until October or November and should, as a result, have fall, winter and spring, vegetables, successful fall garden is a possibility. Department all vegetation says, with nearly garden speciallata says, with nearly grown in spring and summer, in practically all parts of the Southern States, except in areas of high altitude, and in the more northerly portions of the region. In many sections of the South, to matte plants have succumbed to the strain of high temperatures and dryness. In some localities they will live and continue to bear until fall, but in others they will not survive. A new crop should be planted now, and it may be profitable to try the experiment of planting both in the open ground, where the plants are to remain, and in frames for transplanting. The frames or beds should be located in a relatively cool, shady place. The same plan of field and frame for planting may be used for cultivate seedlings. With this crop promising results have already been obtained by planting several seeds in a hill and thinning to one plant. If the field planting should not survive, however, in some instances, the grower. It is pointed out, is protected by having on hand the frame grown plants. Ordinarily the seed planted direct to the field will produce on earlier crop than seed planted in a frame and transplanted. Among the vegetables which may be planted at practically any time during the summer, with fair assurance of success, are beans. Bush squash may also be planted even in the hottest weather if they have not been made a part of the garden at an earlier season. With the beginning of August practically the entire list of ordinary vegetables is open to the fall gardener for choice. Boots, parsnips, carrots, celery, sweet corn, radishes, lettuce and peas may be planted at this time, many of them in succession. Groups at frequent intervals in the summer and during the early part of September, kale, asparagus, mustard, turnips, collards and parsley may also be planted. During September onion seed should be put out and in October, and even later on onion seeds may be planted for a spring crop. Among the crops of these late plantings which the Southern gardeners will find available for winter use, age beets and the other root crops, such as parsley and carrot, and kale, parsley, spinach and mustard. Many of the plants, he will find, may be carried as slight protection even into quite cold weather without suffering damage. To the crops which will be arrived over for development in the ary spring should be added salicyl or oyster plant, which may be planted practically any time during the late spring and may fail. The following appropriate directions for fall planting of certain seeds in the South have been prepared by the department's plant specialists. BEETS. Beets plant in the South in August and early September will produce a crop for late fall and early winter one. Where hard cultivation is to be given, sow the seed in drills 14 to 18 inches apart and cover to the depth of about 1 inch. For horse cultivation the rows should be 2 and one half feet apart. As soon as the plants are well established, thin them to a stand 2 to 3 inches apart. Give frequent shallow cultivation. This may be left until the through the winter to be pulled when wanted. Varieties recommended: Croshy's Egyptian, Ja amo, Early Eclipse, and Blood Turnip. TURNIPS. Turnip seed may be sown during the latter part of August and throughout September, and the first half of October. Sow turnip seed thick in rows 15 to 18 inches apart, and when the plants reach a height of 4 or 5 inches begin thinning, using the young plants for greens. For good roots thin the plants to about 3 inches apart in the row. Keep the land well cultivated to keep down the weeds and to leave the surface loose and friable. In a small garden, cultivation with a hand cultivator is the most practicable Turnips and the most the ground is prepared for the table or map, pulled as soon as they are planted, and stored in a cellar or hurried in banks or pits. The varieties of turnips commonly grown in the South are Purple Top Globe, White Globe, Seven Top, White Milan, and Yellow Aberdeen. COLLARDS. Collards can be grown In the same way as outlined for turnips. KALE. Kale can be grown in the open throughout the winter in practically all seasons of the South. Sow the seed in September and October in drills 15 inches apart for hand cultivation, and 30 inches for horse cultivation. As soon as the plants reach a height of 4 or 5 inches they should be thinned. The plants puttin may be used for greens. Varieties recommended: Dwarf Curtled, Tall Scotch, and Siberian. SPINACH Spinach is one of the best crops grown and should be found in every home garden. It can be grown in the open during the autumn and winter in all sections south of Norfolk. Va. Sow the seed in the letter part of August in September, or October, in drills 16 to 18 inches apart. at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet of row. When the plants begin to crowd in the row they should be thinned. The larger plants are selected first, and the smaller or later ones are thus given room to develop. (News Leader—Aug. 25, 1918.) "I am satisfied that we can establish that the city ordinance under which we were halod hero was supplied by a state law, and that, there fore, the police had no right to lodge a complaint against us, but we will be willing not to raise the issue if you will diamise the complaints." Assistant United States District Attorney Hiram M. Smith so stated to Justice Crutchfield today when he and twelve other autocrats were arrained on the charge of violating a city ordinance passed in 1905 requiring license tags to be displayed on both the front and rear of automobiles. Attorney Smith, who acted as his own lawyer, saw that it would simplify matters to serve as counsel for the other twelve defendants, and accordingly, acted as his spokesman. They allowed him to do all the talking, except to state in unison that they would affix tags to the front of their cars if let off. "This is an unusual situation," said Justice Crutchfield, and asked Attorney Smith to explain. The lawyer stated that several years after the passage of the city ordinance, which required the chief of police to issue front and rear tags, a state law was enacted putting "the automobile licenses" in the hands of the secretary of the commonwealth and making no reference to the number of tags. The secretary of the commonwealth made it a practice to issue one tag, which auto owners affixed to the rear of their cars. This law continued operative until June 17 of this year, when a new law went into effect, requiring license from the attorney. Smith expressed the opinion that no autoist who had taken out a license prior to June 17 could be held responsible for not having more than one number on his car. The ancient city ordinance, he asserted had no application to the situation. Assistant City Attorney Anderson was sent for by Justice Crutchfield and the facts were laid before him. He said that offhand he was inclined to a agree with the position taken by Attorney Smith, but would not give a formal opinion until he had looked up the law. Police Captain Sowell and Automobile Policeman Walter said they were satisfied to have the complaints discussed with the understanding that the defendants procure extra tags, and Justice Crutchfield took this action. The police launched a competition A young age to compel autoists to display defenders are audited by forty hearings. In view of the question taken out the legality of halting them to court it is likely the complaints will be satisfied as fast as the cases are called. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

GILES JACKSON CALLS ON PRESIDENT WILSON. Washington, D.C., Aug. 28, -- Headed by Giles B. Jackson, leader of the negro Democrats in Virginia, a delegation of members of the Hammond Democratic League, whose headquarters are in New York, called on President Wilson at the White House today. In the party was also H. H. Price of Richmond. The Negroes promised President Wilson their support in the coming election. Acting as spokesman Jackson told President Wilson that the Republican party had ceased to "mention the negro in its platform" and, notwithstanding ninety-five per cent of the Republican vote in the Southern State, is negro, the white Republican leader have established "Lilly White" organizations, with the sign that negro houses awarded. "Under all the circumstances and conditions with respect to the colored man," said Jackson, "we feel that President Wilson can be rolled upon to do the just thing at the proper time." Jackson charged ex-President Taft with having removed every nugro of foliobar in the South and appointed white Democrats in their places. He also posed a nugro military academy for the military training of colored boys.

Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books By Sidney C. Tann, Ph.R. "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three hundred pages $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books over written in the history of the world. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Gushner and the Bible by the United States. His sex information of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unconventional that staggers under the ideas presented. For ideas it is the world's greatest book.

Overland Red by Harry Herbert Knibbs Copyright 1914 by Houghton Mifflin Co. SYNOP515 A lone mine discovers a rich mine in the Mojave desert and works it secretly. He dies of thirst. Louise Lacharme meets Overland Red and Collie. They try to trample. Overland Red tells Louise about Collie's unhappy boyhood, and she befriends the pair. Deputy Sharif Tenlow arrests Overland Red, charging him with the murder of the miner. Collie says Red is innocent. Red makes a daring escape. Collie is arrested, and Louise sends her uncle, Walter Stone, to the jail. Attracted by Collie's beauty and kindness, Collie encounters to abandon tramp life and becomes a cowboy. CHAPTER V. "Your Friend Is a Man." TENLOWS gun cracked. A spray of dust instantly ahead of Boyar. "Look! Look!" cried Louise. The deputy, angered out of his usual judgment, spurred his horse directly down the footsteps shake that the trump had hidden across disguise. "Look! He can't— The horse— Oh! she groaned at Tenlows' pony stumbled and all but pitched headling. The other man knew better than that." She graped turning to the boy. "No waited till he struck rock and brush before he turned Boyar." "Can he ride? shouted Collie, grinning. But the grin died to a gump. A burst of shale and dust shot up from the hillside. They saw the flash of the stonches on the belly of Tenlows' horse as the daintiest pony stumbled and gave headdown down the slope, rolling over and over, to stop finally—a patch of brown, shapeless, outlying. Below Overland Bad had curled Boyar and was gazing up at a spot of black on the hillside—Dick Tenlow, motionless, silent. His somber lay several yards down the slope. "Oh! The horse!" cried Louise chokingly, with her hand to her breast. As for Dick Tenlow, lying halfway down the hillside, stunned and shattered she had but a secondary sympathy. He had sacrificed a gallant and willing heart to his anger. The tramp, riding a strange pony over desperately perilous and unfamiliar ground, had used judgment. "Your friend is a minn!" she said, turning to the boy. "But Dick Tenlow is war—perhaps killed. He went under horse when it fell." "I guess it's up to us to see if the sheriff gant is done for that," said the boy. "Misty we can do something." "You'll get arrested now," said the girl. "If Dick Tenlow is alive you'll have to go for help. If he isn't." "I'll go, all right. I ain't afraid. I didn't do anything. I guess I'll stick around till I bed shows up again, anyhow." "You're a stranger here. I should go as soon as you have'll help," said the girl. "Mebby I better. I will help get him up the hill and in the shade. Then I'll beat it for the do. If I don't come back after that," he said slowly, flashing. "it ain't because I'm scared of anything I done." For down in the valley Boyara's aawing sails glistened in the sun. An arm was raised in a gesture of farewell as the tramp swing the pony toward the town. Much to her surprise, Louise found herself waving a vigorous adieu to the distant figure. The tramp Overland, realizing that the deputy was badly injured, told the first person he met about the accident, advising him to get help at once for the deputy. Then he turned the pony toward the foothills. In a clump of greasewood he dismounted and, leaving the ringle hanging to the saddle horn, struck Black Boyar on the bank. The horse leaped toward the Moonstone trail. The trump disappeared in the brush. Lousse Lacharme, more beautiful than roses, strolled across the vine shadowed porch of the big ranch house and sat on the porch rail opposite her uncle. His clear blue eyes twinkled approval as he gazed at her. Walter Stone was fifty, but the fifty of the hard riding optimist of the great outdoors. The smooth tan of his cheeks contrasted oddly with the silver of his close cropped hair. He appeared as a young man prematurely gray. "How is Boyart?" he asked, smiling a little as Louise, sitting sideways on the porch rail, swung her foot back and forth quickly. "Oh, Boy is all right. The tramp turned him loose in the valley. Boy came home." "It was a clever bit of riding to get the best of Tenlow on his own range. Was Dick very badly hurt?" queried Walter Stone. "Ten, his collarbone was broken, and he was crushed and tarribly bruised. His bone was killed." When I was down day before yesterday the doctor said Dijk would be all right in time. "How about this boy, the tramp boy they arrested?" "Oh," said Louise, "that was a shame! He played and helped the doctor put Dijk in the hungry and rude with him to town. Tenlow was . Anyway as a suspicious character. I should have let him go. When Mr. Tenlow became conscious and they told him they had the boy he said to keep him in the calaboose, that that was where he belonged." "And you want me to see what I can do for this boy?" "I didn't say so." And Louise tilled her chin. "Now, sweetheart, don't quibble. It isn't like you." The gray silk clad ankle flashed back and forth. "I really, Ute Walter, you could have done something for the boy without making me say that I wanted you to. You're always doing something nice—helping people that are in trouble. You don't usually have to be asked." "Perhaps I like to be asked—by—Louise." "You're just flattering me, me, I know; but uncle, if you had seen the boy jump in front of Mr. Teulow's horse when Dick shot at the tramp and afterward when the boy helped me with Dick and stuck right to him clear to his house—why, you couldn't help but admire him. Then they arrested him—for what? It's a shame! I told him to run when I saw the doctor's buggy coming." "Yes, Louise, the boy may be brave and likable enough, but how are we to know what he really is? I don't like to take the risk. I don't like to meddle in such affairs." "Uncle Walter! Risk! And the risks you used to take when you were a young man! Oh, Aunty Eleanor has told me all about your riding bronchos and the Panamint and lots of things. I won't tell you all, for you'd be dattered to pieces, and I want you to one whole lump today." "Only for today, Louise?" "Oh, maybe for tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow; but, uncle, only last week you said it breakfast that the present system of arrest and imprisonment was all wrong. That was because they arrested that editor who was a friend of yours. But now when you have a chance to prove that you were in earnest you don't seem a bit interested." "Did I really say all that, sweetness?" "Now you are quibbling. And does sweetness mean me or what you said at breakfast? Because you said the whole damned system" and those were two indies at the table. Of course that came before breakfast. After break when you picked a rose for unity and love. After Stone laughed heartily. "But I do take a great deal of interest in them that interests you." I slipped I throbly from the porch and wading up on the broad arm. Less than, enraging against him immediately. "I know you do me. I just love you. I'll stop teasing." "I remember. I'm a pretty fair soldier at least once, but this" and his man went round her affectionately—"this is after defeat. I strike my coles. Then, you always give in so grazfully. "Try you, perhaps, Uncle Walter. But I haven't given in this time. I'm just as interested as ever." "And you think they are the men we saw out on the Mojave by the water tank?" "Oh, I know it! They remembered the rose. They spoke of it right away, before I did." "Yes, Louise. And you remember, too, that they were arrested at Bartow-for murder the conductor said?" "That's just it! The boy Louise says the tramp Overland Red didn't kill the man. He was trying to save him and gave him water. If you could only hear what the boy says to it—"My heart, my service and my future are at your feet, Senorita Louise, my mouse. Are your eyes gray or green this morning?" "Both," said Louise quickly. "Green for spunk and gray for love. That's what Aunty Eleanor says." "Come a little nearer. Let me see. No, they are quite gray now." "Cause why?" she cooed, and, stooping, kissed him with warm, careless affection. "You always ask me about my eyes when you want me to kiss you. Of course when you want to kiss me, why, you just come and take 'em." "My esteemed privilege, sweetheart. I am your caballero." "Did Aunty Eleanor?" said Louise. But Walter stone rose and straightened his shoulders. "That will do, mouse. I can't have any jealousy between my sweetheart." "Never! And, Uncle Walter, do you want to ride Major or Italy? Rally and Boyar get along better together. I'll saddle Boy in a jiffy." "At the crossroads in the valley stood the local jail, or "coop," as it was more descriptively called. Unpainted, insolated. Its solitary witness locked over the pouldrel, dignity commonly associated with the word "jail." The sun pelted down upon the blimched, unshaded roof and siding. The bumps air run over the wrapped chimney like a kind of colorless fire. The boy Cohen, held down in the ambulance host of the plane, started to fall. Just as the plane crashed, and board horses coming. They had stopped. He could hardly realise that the sunlight was swimming through the close dusk of the place. But the girl of Moonstone canyon, reining Boyar round, was real, and she smiled and nodded a greeting. "This is Mr. Stone, my uncle," she said. "He wants to talk with you." With a glance that noted each unlovely detail of the place, the broken iron bed, the cracked pitcher and the unspeakable blankets, Louise touched her paws and was gone. Collie rubbed his eyes, blinking in the sun as he stood garing after her. Walter Stone, standing near the doorway, noted the hair's clear, healthy skin, his well shaped head with its tumble of wavy black hair and the luminous dark eyes. He felt an instant sympathy for the boy, a sympathy that he masked with a businesslike brusque-ness. "Well, young man." "We kept ridin' and ridin' in the same car and carin' bananas and sandwiches and sleepin' setin' up at nights. I was just about sick when we come to Albuquerque. You see, that was where the needle went through the time table, and dad said we would get off there. He got awful drunk that night. "Next day he said he was gain' to quit liquor and make a fresh start. I knew he wouldn't, 'cause he always said that next morning. But I guess he tried to quit. I don't know. "One night he didn't come back to the room where we was stayin' upstairs over the saloon. They found him 'way down the track next day all cut to pieces by the train." The boy paused, reached forward and plucked a withered stem of grass, which he wound round and round his finger. "I guess his money was all gone." "Come outside. It's vile in there." Stone led his pony to the north side of the "coop." Collie followed. Away to the west he saw the hazy peaks. A lake of burning air pulsed above the flat, hot floor of the valley. Over there lay the hills and the shadow and the road. Somewhere beyond was Overland, his friend, penniless, hunted, hungry. "She brung you!" queried the boy. "Yes. I have been Tenlow, the sheeriff. He is willing to let you go at my request. What do you intend doing now that you are free?" "I don't know. Find Red, I guess." Walter Stone nodded. "What then?" "Oh, stick it out with Red. They'll be after him sure now. Red's my pal?" "What has he done to get the police after him?" "Nothin', it's the bunch." "The bunch?" "Ubuh. They guys out on the Moave; but, say, are you workin' me to get next to Red and get him pinched again?" "No. You don't have to answer me. This man Red is nothing to me one way or the other. He took Miss Lacharme's pony, but she has overlooked that. I thought perhaps you might care to explain your position. Perhaps you had rather not. You may go now if you wish." "Is that straight?" "Yes." For several tense seconds the lad gazed at his questioner. Finally his gaze shifted to the hills and then back to Stone. "I guess I'll have to tell you the whole thing straight. Red always said that to tell the truth was just as good as lyin," because nobody would believe us anyway. And if a fella gets caught tellin' the truth why, he's that much to the good." "Well, I shall try and believe you this time," said Stone. "Miss La charme thinks you are honest." "A guy couldn't die to her!" said the boy. "Then just consider me her representative," said Stone smiling. CHAPTER VI COLLIE) separated in the messenger shuttle of the "Dog." Walter Stree, dropping the people rejoining, came and sat to the lad. There was something in the older man's purse, an unseen assurance of comradehip and security, that annulled the dog's tendency to recieve about himself. He began best fatally. "My dad was a drunken man Maid, and he got worse it. I was a kid and didn't care, for the newest done nothing to me. We had I look cast over a jawful owner's Math street. One day pa come home with a timetable. "He sat up next to night reading it. Every time I woke up he was reddish it and talked to himself. That was after ma died "In the morning, when I was getting dressed, he come over and says to take the needle he bead and stick it through the time table anywhere. I was injured he was needled to have the jimmies. But I took the needle-it had black thread in it-and stuck it through the time table. He opened the page and laugh G. Pousal "He's dylin' on his foot," said Red. edowarque was where the needle went in. He couldn't say the name right, but he kept lookin' at it. "Then he went out and was gone all day and all night. When he come back he showed me a whole wad of money. I say. Where did you get it? He got me and talks me to start up. "That day we got on a train. I say. Where are we goin' and he says, to never mind and did I want some peninsula." "We kept ridin' and ridin' in the same car and eatin' bananas and saan' wielchens and sleepin' settin' up at night. I was just about sick when we come to Albuquerque. You' see, that was where the needle went through the time table, and dad said we would get off there. He got awful drunk that night. "Next day he said he was gain' to quit liquor and make a fresh start. I knew he wouldn't' cause he always said that next mornin'. But I guess he tried to quit. I don't know. "One night he didn't come back to the room where we was stayin' upstairs over the saloon. They found him' way down the track next day all cut to pieces by the train." The boy paused, reached forward and plucked a withered stem of grass, which he wound round and round his finger. "I guess his money was all gone," resumed the boy. "Anyhow, bout a year after, overland Red comes along. He comes to the saloon where I was stinkin'-they give me a job cleanin' out every day—and he got to talkin' a lot of stuff about security and give the simple life and all that stuff. The bartender 'got to jawh' with him, and I laughed, and the bartender bites me a bick side the head. Red, he hits the bartender a lick side of his head—and the bartender don't get up right away. I'll learn him to hit kibs, said Red. "If you learn him to hit 'em as hard as the I says to Red, 'then it will be all out with me the next time." "Does he hit you very often?" said Red. "Whenever he feels like it, I told him." "Red laughed and said to come on. I was sick of there, so I run away with Red. We tried it on a freight and got put off. Red had some water in a canteen he swiped. It was lucky for us he did. We kept walkin' and gold' nights and kept redin' on freights in the daytime if we could. One day, a long time after that, we was crossin' the desert again. We got put off a freight that time too. We was walkin' along when we found a guy layin' beside the truck. Red said he wasn't dead, but was dying. We give him some water. Then he kind of come to and wanted to drink it all. Red said 'No.' Then the guy got kind of crazy. He got up and grabbed Red. He was scared. "Red, he passed me the canteen and told me to keep it away from the guy because more water would kill him. Then the guy went for Red. 'He's dyn' on his feet, said Red. 'It's his last dash.' And he tried to hold the guy quig, talkin' decent to him all the time. They was staggerin' around when the guy tripped backward over the rail. His head hit on the other rail, and Red fell on top of him. Anyway, the guy was dead." Walter Stone shifted his position, turning to gaze at the boy's white face. "Yes, go on," he said quietly. "Red was for sorghin' the guy, but I says to come on before we got caught. Red, he hugged, kind of queer and asked me, 'Could at what?' Then I said 'I dunn' but I was beamed. "Anyway, he went through the dead guy's clothes and found some papers and old letters and a little leather bag with a whole lot of gold dust in it. Red said medley $29.99." "God did it!" "Chuck. Then Rek was searched. He buried the long and the papers away out in the sand and made a mark on the tide to find it." "Did you find out the dead man's name? asked Shannon, curiously at the bay." "Nope. We just had it for the next station. I was for a while. I gave out, and Red he gave me to the next water tank. He gave me water on me when the land was along and stopped, and she gave me the rose to us. Red told me after. You wouldn't go back and find it that, would you?" "No, I don't know what I should." "That's me!" he says. "Then they want to woo me," he says us at Barstow; sold we the wooing in where he hit the talks, and we had to make Red say that he had the guy after killin' him, but he had everything, except he did it, and the letters and the gold dust that to make me say it, but I knew they would fix bed, that I did, and he told me not to touch the gold if they did pinch me." "They let you enter the police examination. Then you tell that the authorities are after you again?" "It's the bomb! I replied the boy "They guys out there showed the dead guy had a nine or a helix or something where he got the good. Nobody was wise to where. They told at the jail how he used to come in awhile and send his diet to Los Angeles by the express company. All them guys, like the shifter, and the station agent and all the people in that town, are workin' tryin' to find out where the gold come from. They think because Red and me is trumpet that they can make us tell and arrest us whenever they like. But even God don't know, unless it's in the papers he hid in the sand." "That sounds like a pretty straight story," said Stone. "So you intend to stick to this main bed!" "Sure! Would you quit him now when they're after him worst!" "They will not him trouble!" "Mebly. But I don't pretty slick at a getaway. If they do pinch him again that's where I come in. I'm the only witness and the only friend he's got." "Of course. But don't you see, my boy, that your way of living is so much against you that you couldn't really help him? A man's naked wood, is worth just what his friends and neighbors will allow him for it and no more." "But ain't a guy got no rights in this country!" "Certainly he has bad. But he has to prove that he is entitled, to them by his way of living." "Then he's got to go to church and work and live devout or he don't get a square deal, boy!" "But why shouldn't he do that much?" Colle did not answer. Instead, he inspected his questioner critically from head to foot. "I guess you right," he said finally. "I've heard folks talk like that before but I never took no stock. They kind of said it because they knew it. I guess you say it because you mean it." "Of course I do," said Stone heartily. "Well here comes to me, with the mail. See?" "Or there is El Camino Real, running north. My munch is up there in the hills. My foreman's name is Williams. If you should ask, I for work I believe he might give you something to do. I heard him say he needed a man long ago." Baker, the black pony, scattered up and staggered "Hello, folks!" said Lou be, purposefully including the boy in her creating. Coffin finished tangibly. Then a bit terreness grew in his heart as he thought of his friend Oveeland, hunted from town to town by the same law that protected these people an unjust law that they observed and fostered "Well!" and Stone. Coffin's face was on the ground, "I don't know, he muttered "Well, good luck to you!" And the ponies swung into that philosophical hope of the western house who knows his journey's length. The figures of the riders grew smoother. Still the boy, stood in the lead watching them. Unable to be good. Then came an answer to his stricken self questioning. Booze glanced back—glanced back for me! and in mute sympathy with his breath. Showly the boy turned and exclaimed the fail. He tailed his own arm, stepped outside and closed "to door." Before him stretched the hot level of El Camino Real the road I the beyond. From it branched a narrower road reaching up into the south ern hills—on, up to the pasture on Moonstone canyon, with its sling stream and its grassy shade. Some where beyond, higher and in the shad owy fastness of the great rushes, he the Moonstone ranch' her home. "I guess, stopp' up smart, I'll be there just about in time for supper," said the boy. And whistling cheerfully he set his feet toward the south and the Moonstone trail.

"When I say that I am an * American citizen I ought to say the greatest thing that any man can say in this world. But you cannot have that pride of Amer- ican citizenship as a sleep thing. If it is not worthy of protection this wide world over. There is no man, who could successfully present to no Ameritian an com- munity the platform that an Ameritian can offer to those of the most pure and that devoted that Ameritian life is to be the prey of any patriarch who chooses to take it. I am a Spy of Mr. Hines in the West ```markdown ``` MR. WILSON HAS HAD NO MEXICAN POLICY. "We cannot let the American spirit fall so low that, lapped in the luxury occasioned by a for- eign war, we shall see American lives sacrificed without a deter- mination to prevent it and to make the American name honor- ed and respected wherever our flag flies." The trophy with this administration is this: "I don't think it ever has had a policy in Mexico word of the name"— From Mr. Hughes' Speech at Chicago. MR. HUGHES HAS EXPLoded THE "KEPT THE FIGHT OF WAR" ARGUMENT Mr. Hughes attack upon the "keeps-out-of-war" argument has around a storm of enthusiasm. "Kept us out of war" he demands. "Why, there were platoon men good American soldiers, shot down at Vera Cruz, and Many Medians were killed by our men. That was war. Moreover, it was a very terrible war. I have heard three explanations of the Vera Cruz move. "First, it was explained that it was made in order to compel somebody to salute the flag somebody who had insulted us. But the flag was not saluted and has not been to this day. Then it was said that the salute was not what we ought, but to prevent the leading of a headload of ammunition intended for Heruza. The ammunition handed, however, and it has been shown that it reached Heruza in due season without interference on our port. "When that reason was shown to be unattainable a third one and possibly the real one finally was advanced. It was said that our seizure of Vern Cruz was a move to compel the retirement of Huerta. It seems possible that this is true, although we had promixed the Mexicans that we would not interfere in their affairs and told them more than once that, we wanted them to handle their own affairs. "That is why the Mexicans could not understand us and that is why they show little faith in our promises." MANANA. Manana, which is Mexican for "watchful waiting," is the democratic keynote in the campaign. The Wilson drive is to begin "some time" after Sept. 1, but no, definite engagements have been made, it is announced, for him to commence "making political speeches." He has tentative engagements to make some western visits about the "middle of September," but Are You Thinking of Marriage? LOVE START your wedded life right. The young man who is contemplating matrimony should bank this money. After he has furnished his home he should have something laid aside for possible adversity. Wedded life means added responsibility for him. The prospective bridegroom should open a bank account today. It means happiness in the future. We'll gladly explain our banking system.

I propose that we shall have no more, if I can stop it, of these 'how hard and kills you' app- ropriations in 'Courtesey'. From Mr. Hughes' Speech at Chicago. SOUTH IN: SADDLE IN NAVY. Out of the 17 Ranking Officers In Charge of Naval Affairs 12 To Josephus Bondis, who has represented the Administration's Policy with regard to the first line defense, he credited responsibility for cramming and thwarting progress and obstinency in the navy. Many new men have been brought into the Washington end of the navy organization. Of the seventeen high-ranking officers who are charged with the responsible duties of administering the affairs of the navy twelve are from the Southern states. In years gone by necessity did not arise to question from what soever come the officers chosen to lead the burens of the Navy Department. Comparisons between the army and navy in this respect will show that both conditions exist in the war Department. It is true, that Vice President Marsham remarked, that the Humboldt speech of no one promise that all the length and tone of a delivering opinion. But he entitled to add that the distinguished opinion thus expressed is that of the American people. WE WANT THE AMERICAN FLAG UNSULLIED. "Now, my friends, we want not only American efficiency in business, in efficiency in the or- ganization of business, in the protection of the factors of la- man industry and commerce, we want the American flag unisplo- lated and the American name honored throughout the world." - From Mr. Hughes' Speech at Chicago. ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN Mr. Hughes has not tried to scare anybody, but has merely portrayed the errors of the present administration and set forth certain principles on which the affairs of the country should be managed in the future. There is a political loze in his portrayal, the elaboration of which in the mind of the voter is expressed by the frequent remark: "He is the kind of man we want to steer us through." This has been said by many a business man. The qualities seen in Mr. Hughes are police, a strong, same mind, sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice life, physical or political, to the good of the country. Nor is there any question as to the quality of nerve to meet the emergencies of the four years beginning March 4, 1917. Mr. Lansing is credited with the belief that the case against Great Britain on account of the blacklist is so weak that it ought not to be pressed. What, then, did Mr. Folk mean when he called the attention of the British government, "in the gravest terms," so "the many serious consequences" he be apprehended if it were not withdrawn?

She thinks it only a dream while folks believe in making other folks have these dreams Colored folks, do not imitate the follies and follies of the bad white folks. Tread in the footsteps of the good ones. Colored folks who have been living house should ird gu ptheir side folks They cannot afford to imitate some of these white folks hereabouts Don't forget that the names of our white friends in the Southland are here and we have not yet learned the names of our white friends. I have been very happy about all the things I have been learning and the Goes have been doing with these just about everything that will have on the tree. W. We are the hard hitter" sometimes writing. We know that. We grow well and our attack are the personal and they are the personal personal. Children tell us the polite to white people and teach your children to be the same way. Remember that just as you should towards white folks, you should act towards colored ones. Whenever we condemn immorality in so-called terms, some of the people interpreted out that the Planet should not be permitted to go through the United States' mails. Cooled folks who are not ready and willing to stand up for their right, regardless of the consequence to themselves, are not worthy of those rights. Do not forget that. --- A man should always be glad to go home. So many of these Christians hereabouts say that Heaven is their home, but they "run like the dickens" when you talk of gending them there. It would be well for some folks to understand and realize that we have been able to write and to take care of ourselves for thirty years, and we are prepared to do so to the end of the chapter. Two policemen wronged a white girl, who was a stranger in the city, and they were put off the police force. One policeman had a colored girl out in the Northside and was chased by his fellow members, and he was put off the police force. They'll purge the service after awhile. Colored folks who are doling well and who go either North or West to do better are making a mistake. The Southland will be, sooner or later, the garden spot of this Republic. It may not be so, but we certainly believe it An individual who condemns scandalous conduct should be punished, and the individual who is guilty of the scandalous conduct that is condemned, should go "not free". This is the edict of some of these latter day advocates of peace at any price. --- Buy land, colored folks, and educate your children. Education is worse than useless, though, without hometraining. Make them understand that they are to be respectful to their superiors, be they white or colored. Teach them self-delic and self-respect. We cannot whip any other way. Crested follicle *Cervusdoms*, with one ovulation, have been respectable this season. For disorder, though, the Retail Grocery *Cervusdom* holds first place. At least, that seems to be the comparison of opinion of phone white folks who work on that expansion. They would do well to take the preshaves down with them, the next time. --- If a Southern white man like you you have a friend through all ad- versity. If a Southern white man hates you you have an enemy, and may you have mercy upon your soul. Of course we refer to the better class of Southern white men, and not to the headlines, who are a disgrace, to this section of the country. Theatricals are required to furnish separate toilets for the sexes, and passengers are not allowed to go into either one or the other but must confine themselves to the one assigned to his or her sex.

We shall endeavour for all of our tribes and provinces under the law we put them either here or the other way. The history of three colored men and two colored women at Newbury Florida was horrible. These people had not committed any crime, but were simply suspected of killing Betsy Long, a colored man, who had killed S. G. Wynne, a white man. The treason of the affair is emphasized by the fact that Long was finally captured by two colored men, who turned him over to the officers of the law. He is now fully protected. The better class of white men in the South-land are bitterly opposing these horrible outrages, but they seem to have an uphill task. The best way to handle the lynchers is to shoot the life out of them and "go shouting home to glory." We have passed through the fires of persecution and we are as yet far from being united in matters fundamental that affect our welfare. WOULD NOT MARCH. The Richmond, Virginia, in its issue of the 24th, publishes the following: Dixie Aerie, No. 338, of the Order of Eagles, has returned home from the Grand Aerie held in Savannah, Ga., August 14 to 19. Dixie didn't march in the big parade given in connection with the big meet—and thereby hangs a tale. When the big walk-fest was assembling, the Richmond members became aware that a colored band was to furnish the noise of the celebration. The Richmonders love the "calling brother" in his place—which they think is not in an Eagle parade. They THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA "about faced" and returned to their hotel. We do not know of an organization in Virginia, not even excepting political bodies, that have more unreasoning racial mispathy to colored people than some of the members of this organization. It has recently erected a palatial structure on the corner of Third and Marshall streets, nearly in the "black district" and it has been presided over by gentlemen in the lowly walks of life. It embraces in its membership some of the most liberal white citizens and yet they sit there and let such "channel-mouthed" individuals virtually control the organization. This Order is closely akin to the Elks. Its members like liquid refreshments. With most people, this kind of "medicine" makes them companionable and liberal in their attitude towards all men. When Virginiaans go down into Georgia to teach Georgians the proper custom relative to Negroes, then they have shown that they really do not belong in this country. Colored folks are "cussed" and abused in the Southland, but they are given opportunities to labor that have never been consoled to them in the far North. One of these opportunities is that of furnishing music for white folks. It came down from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Colored musicians sat today, and have sat in the palatial residences and pub he halls of the South and stirred the hearts of thousands of the best white people in this country. These marchers were in line in Savannah, Georgia as servants. Every southerner under stood that but these "Reubs" from Richmond "played the fool" and came home not unhindered by the shouting masse of Eagles, who enjoyed the frolic. It may be well to state that while they were "walking in the air" so to speak at Savannah, within a block of their Aerie here in Richmond, their clubhouse, where liquor flows and beer is in evidence, a white man was caught in a little ten by ten room with, a black girl and he was carried through the streets of this city in a Police Patrol on a basis of perfect social equality with a Black Negro, which he and the Eagles profess to hate and despise. Oh, yes, the Richmonders, like the "cullud" brother in his place and our contemporary might have added that they like the "cullud" woman in her place in the backyard of 317 N. Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. Oh, the types, not some of these white folks. ANOTHER OUTRAGE. ```markdown ``` The order of 102 A. A. Horne prior of the First Presbyterian Church of the city, north Attention Upon the Station we know that the car owner of the Redwood and Horn the house of the Virginia Railway and Porter Company's system ordered him to we although he opposed the third seat from the rear which has been designated for colored people in the number of white people catering the car requires a further reserved to the rear. The conductor ordered him to the last seat, and he took it. The conductor then came to him and ordered him fr. in one end of the last seat to the other, which seat holds about four passengers, and which could be occupied only by colored people, as a colored person occupied a seat on it. Then the conductor came to him, although to other passengers needed a seat, and directed him to move to the other end of that seat. He de-lined so to do and informed the conduct that if he would return him his fare, he would yet off the car. The conduct informed him that he was under arrest and later handed him over to two police offices in Fulton, who in turn called the police patrol and this unoffending citizen, a minister of the gospel, a person who had no intention or desire to violate the law, was made to ride through the public streets of this city under the charge of disorderly conduct, when he had not been disorderly. He was carried to the First Police Station, where the desk sergeant gruffly made his inquiries and intimated that if his bondsman was not soon forth-coming, he would have to lock him up. We saw two colored men in trouble. They were employed by two highly influential white citizens. The one who worked at a garage had struck the one who worked at the stable with her shoes. gash which required nearly an hour's work of sewing up the wound by the ambulance surgeon. These white gentlemen could not afford to be delayed in their work. One of the colored men drove the hearse on the outside and his antagonist had made an effort, apparently, to have some one else drive that same hearse with the colored man on the inside of it. Be that as it may, the police patrol came, and with it came a magistrate, who proceeded to ball both colored men, and they went to their work, after one of them had been patched up. Another case in point: a crap-shooting, good time place on Third street was raided by the police, but when the police patrol heaved in sight, it had on board a magistrate, who hailed out the parties. When Ray Hammond partner of the First Presbyterian Church was arrested, no magistrate accompanied the patrol. His standing in the community had no weight. He was known to respect himself, and it was known that a patrol wagon was as nauseating to him as a cell in the station house, so being "only a nigger," he was hurried away from friends and had to stay for sometime in the forbidding confines of the Station House. When the case was called in the Police Court last Tuesday morning Rev. A. A. Hurtor was fined ten dollars and cost. He noted an appeal with Mu. Wittmann Muster, the well-known hotel proprietor, as bondman. This case should be brought to the attention of the officials of the Virginia Railway and Power Company. If need be, a delegation of one hundred citizens should proceed to call upon the proper officials and protest against this kind of treatment. The present city government, in many of its departments, is all right but there are many persons connected with it that are all wrong. When disreputable houses are raided and their inmates kept out of patrol wagons, and reputable citizens of the Herton type are paraded to a place like the First Police Station, then the limit of uncomplaining endurance has been reached. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. When the people of the City of Richmond permitted the framers of the City Charter to put the whole responsibility of the Police Department upon the Mayor and the Chief, they put a load upon these two officials that they may find to be too much to beg. The police force here has been kept up to a fine degree of efficiency until recent years, when the taking in of much of the populated territory of Henrico County furnished the excuse for an increase of the force. Then the politicians got in their work, and new men were added so rapidly that they could not be assimilated, and no one seemed to have the foresight to place them under the tutelage and training of the experienced men upon the force. Moreover, these new men accepted to present such instructions. They were of the opinion that brute force and leg power, with a minimum quantity of brutes, were all that were necessary to qualify them for service. The young men thought they were made a record by shouting drunks, bartenders and auto-speakers to the station house. When they found that false statements made by any one of them became the truth, so far as the Court was concerned, when they came up for a hearing, they were the their glory." They applied for higher positions and it soon became clear that experienced officers were grown out of the gerrymanders. They then applied to the captaincy, and they did what they wanted. Everyone was any sound person knows that a crook, a thief, an a car贼 are the ones not wanted people in the world. As against them, the experienced officers were given back seats and those "hidden head" were given the best places. What has been the result? The best men on the police force are in virtual retirement. They know what to do, but they cannot do it. These experienced ones who have been able to "keep in the saddle" are so misregulated by these minister influences so to be practically helpless. Hundreds of citizens here are held in detention and terrorism, so to speak, upon the plea that "it wont do to antagonize the police." They will find a way "to get even." Thank God, there are thousands of citizens who value fundamental rights above social favors and who are not afraid of any human power, so long as they are treading the paths of fecitude and living in accordance with the laws. The time will yet come, when the veterans, who have grown gray in the service, and those who have not, will be accorded proper recognition and will be placed where the experiences of years may yield a rich dividend to the Police Department of Richmond. INJUSTICE THAT DEMANDS REDRESS. We have never lost faith in the press of this city and we have always known how to value the appreciation and friendship of white men of high degree. The following editorial utterances show that liberal minded white citizens are thinking; that they believe in the simple teachings of the Scriptures and the meting of equal and exact justice to all. Here it is: For disorderly conduct on the street Lizzie Shelton, colored, was fined five dollars by Justice Crutchfield. For being "sasay" to the official, the woman was sentenced to one year in jail. Queer kind of justice that, and manifestly unfair. Respect for a court is obligatory, but by no stretch of fancy is it conceivable that a justice of the peace has the legal-certainly not the moral—right—to imprison on an ignorant, woman for twelve months because she was impudent in the court room. The notion is propertorous. It is reported that she said. "That old man makes me tired," after being assessed five dollars and that the court responded, "What's that? Makes you tired, does he? Woman, you never have been tired but you can tally are going to be!" At which the "gallery" raised a guffaw. Possibly, that was the intent of the speaker. This is anything but justice. It is grotesquely unjust and if the friends of the woman do not petition to a higher authority than Justice Crutch field for her release we hope Mayor Annalise, as the city's guardian, will make it his personal business to see that the outrageous sentence is annulled. It would not stand in any court of law and must not be allowed to stand in this instance. Russian autocracy could have done no worse. Disapproval of a court's ruling has, at times, resulted in the imposition of a stiff fine on the derelict lawyer, but what self-respecting judge would think of committing an attorney to fail for one year for the most flagrant breach of court etiquette. Because a woman is poor and, perhaps friendless as well as ignorant, is it to be said that Richmond is apathetic toward her case? We trust not. What is needed in the average justice shop is more justice and less jargon, less buffoonery. There is a limit to autocratic rulings of the mature noted and we hope it has been reached in this instance. Unless the woman is released ouster proceedings should be begun that will result in a different brand of justice being handed out in the future. This is an editorial leader from the columns of our enterprising and able evening daily newspaper, the Richmond, (Va.) Evening Journal, under date of August 28, 1916. The argument submitted is practically unanswerable, and the force of the utterances is terrific. Justice J. Currer-ripp will certainly have much to consider in the above lines and we hope that it will not be necessary for any action to be taken in order to bring about the release of Lazzy Sullivan. Colored people who seem inclined to regard ours as a hopeless case for the reason that all the white folks are against them, will see in these utterances a ray of sunshine—a beam of hope! God is not dead, and the liberal minded white citizens are not blind to the unjust treatment visited upon us. Speaking of the editor of the Richmond, (Va.) Evening Journal, "One blast upon his bugle were worth ten thousand men." GAINES PROTHERS, COMEDY VOCOPRATS With Tolliver Smart Set Company Posterline Mavenee+ Tundling Acts OHIO MOR STARTS TO LYNCH THE SHERIF Lima, Ohio, August 20, Enraged at the sarcess of Sheriff Sherman Eley in spitting Charles Daniels, a negro, accused of assaulting Mrs. John Barber, young wife of a prominent farmer, out of their reach this afternoon, a mob captured the sheriff, seriously wounded him, placed a noose around, his neck, and forced him to direct a cortex of the arrest men into the rough country north of this city where it is supposed the regro prisoner has been hidden. The mob with Sheriff Eley was not located at a late hour. The mob formed around the Lima jail before duck, and leaders demanded admittance. Chief of Police Kinney called out his centre force, but the officers were overpowered in a hand-to-hand fight. It was announced that the negro had been taken by Sheriff Eley to the Ohio State Hospital for the criminal Insane Refusing to accept the announcement the mob forced Mrs. Eley to open the cells Sheriff Elley returned at 9:40 o'clock and was met by the mob at the city limits. They demanded that he deliver the prisoner or tell where he was bidden. The sheriff reached his residence and refused to give up the negro. The mob then broke in the front door as Elley escaped through a rear entrance. He was caught when entering the Elks' Home and attacked. His clothes were stripped from his body and he was battered and kicked by the mob. A rope was taken from the trole of a street car, and the noose placed about his neck. FINALLY SURRENDERS After half an hour of torture and insults the half-unconscious man ran rendered. He was taken to a waiting motor truck; which formed the head of the procession of automobiles, into which the mob climbed. The procession then left the city at high speed. While the mob held Eley a prisoner, Chief of Police Kinney called upon citizens to join his force, but was refused: The fire department was called out but arrived just as the mob was starting away. The motor fire trucks were run three abreast, down the streets throwing chemicals on those of the mob that had not joined the motor procession, and the men on foot were dispersed. It is understood that the mob was led by a band of farmers from the vicinity of the Barber country home, where the assault occurred early this morning. Mrs. Barber was slashed with a razor and beaten into unconsciousness. It is thought that she will die. A pose of 200 men with blood-hounds caught the negro Daniels in a woods in the same township later in the morning. HELLER'S HUMAN HAIR STORE 712 SEVENTH ST. WASHINGTON D. C. ESTABLISHED 1856.

(Continued from First Page.) be held next July at Lynchburg, held sessions the same week, under the general direction of Chadman, Rev. S. A. Moses. This commission is composed of appointees from the four Baptist State bodies, viz., The Baptist State Convention, Women's Baptist Convention, the Baptist Sunday School Convention and the Baptist Young People's Union, all of whom will meet at the same time next year at Lynchburg. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. The opening session was under the auspices of the Sunday School. The welcome in behalf of the city was extended the conventions by Mayor Harry Wooding, Sr. in the choice of language, replete with beautiful rhetoricals. The welcome in behalf of the Sunday School was well delivered by Mrs. Janie Galvin. Responses were by Miss Mamie Agnewa of Lynchburg, Rev. T. J. King, of Richmond and Rev. R. H. Bowling, of Norfolk. Rev. Bowling produced an excellent composition on the present status and possibilities of the American Nero. THE R. Y. P. Y. The B. Y. P. U. Convention opened with Rev. M. C. Holland in the chair. After devotionals, the welcome addresses were delivered by Prof. G W. Woody, Hon. J. C. Carter and Mr. John Garrell. After a solo by Mr. R. D. Coles the responses were made by Dr. James Harrell and Dr. L. R. W. Johnson. The committees were appointed and delegates enrolled, after which Mr. J. L. Harroway rendered a solo. The introductory sermon by Rev. E. W. Murphy, of Gordonville, was fine. He chose as his subject, "Wake Up," calling on Christians generally THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA for a real awakening to their great responsibilities here on earth. THURSDAY'S SESSIONS. Thursday's sessions opened with a discussion of the day's motto by Dr. Timms. The following subjects were discussed: Advanced Sunday School Methods, Mr., C. J. Watkins, Norfolk; The Work of the Sunday School, Mr., R. W., Childs, Roanoke, Miss Corene Armstead, Richmond, recited, "We Are Rising." The President, Prof. J. S. Lee delivered his annual address, the theme of which was, "Give Christianity A Fair Trialf." It was well prepared and excellently rendered. He asked all to at least give Christianity a fair trial, in every phase of our lives, before we turn to other gods. Rev. E. E. Ricka, of Roanoke, delivered a lecture on "Paul's Letter to the Carinthians," which was technical to a great extent and yet made so plain that all could be benefited thereby. Coming as it did in a Sunday School quarter, replete with the acts and writings of Paul, it proved a great benefit to the workers assembled. DR. GALVIN AND STATE WORK The work of the Virginia Baptist State Convention was the subject of an address delivered by Rev. Dr. A. A. Galvin, the president of that great organization. In his forceful way he impressed the young workers of the tenets and aspirations of the great state body, asking them to become imbued with that spirit that has accounted the parent body these many years. Prof. Gandy of Petersburg and Hon. T. C. Walker were introduced to the convention and made addresses. BIG EDUCATIONAL MEETING The largest session of the week was held under the auspices of the R. Y. P. U. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. M. C. Holland, of Newport News. The soffit ran high as Rev. Holland in his impressive manner spoke of the perseverance of God and His Christ. His subject was "He Cannot Be Hid." The Educational Address was to be delivered by Dr. R. C. Woods, the President of the Seminary, but after addressing the audience for a few minutes he stated that his physician had advised him not to speak at this time and requested Dr. T. J. King, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, to substitute for him. THAT EDUCATIONAL ADDRESS Dr. King delivered a powerful address as to the intrinsic value of education and the necessary sacrifice that should be made for our state work. Wit, humor and pathos has never been mixed to a better advantage. The audience went from one extreme to the other under the masterly guidance of the oratorical ability of the speaker. From being convulsed in laughter the audience would change to a deathly calm as point after point was driven home. The speaker ended in a "trust" so to speak. People packed the way to the table with dollars and models for the educational work at Lynchburg. It was inspiring. FRIBAY MORNING The S. S. Missionaries reported on Friday morning, Miss Maude Weaver or Frankie, the Missionary, for the S. S. Convention made an excellent report, having collected nearly $100 this year, Miss Martha Gray reported "What of the Prodigal Girl?" A trombone solo was rendered by Mr. George Holland, Danielle Rose, Leroy Butler, D. D. delivered a timed discourse on "Evangelism." It was very much appreciated and much food for thought was obtained. THE PICNIC The delegates were treated to a picnic and open air luncheon at the city park. Free transportation to and from the park had been obtained and the whole delegation enjoyed a pleasurable eventing. The B. Y. U. held its session in the pavilion and much routine business was transmitted. The executive board of the School School also met at the path. FINIS The closing session of each convention was held Friday night at the Loyal Street Baptist Church The doctrinal sermon was preached by Roy, Dr. T. H. Shorts, of Hampton. The Doctor chose as his subject, "Baptism," and thoroughly indoctrinated the young folks in this sacred rite. Miss Father Day rendered a solo. The B. Y. P. U. Lecture Course was completed and after general routine, both bodies adjourned. Over a thousand dollars was raised by the conventions and about five hundred dollars went to the educational work at Lynchburg. OFFICERS ELECTED. The Sunday School Convention selected the following officers: Prof. J. Loe, Newport News, president; W. J. Quinnell, Charlottesville, C. J. Watson, Norfolk, G. R. Marable, Roanokie, M. L.

(Special) Absolute State quarantine against children under sixteen years of age who are residents of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania was today declared by the State Board of health at a called meeting, to become effective at 12:01 A.M. tomorrow. Adults may enter the State without hindrance. Virginia children under 16 now in infected areas may enter the State, but must remain under two weeks, quarantine. In exceptional cases, discretion is left with the State Health Commissioner to issue special orders to meet cases not provided for under the general quarantine regulations adopted today. THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE BOARD READS AS FOLLOWS. Hobleving that poliomyelitis among adults is rare enough to justify the feeling that from quarantine standpoint it is negligible, and realizing that the age of selection is under 16 years, therefore, be it resolved that the State Board of Health declare a quarantine against infected areas, such areas to be determined by the Commissioner or Health from time to time as he may deem it necessary. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS QUARANTINE SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS No child under sixteen years of age not a resident of the State of Virginia, shall be admitted at all from infected areas. All children resident of Virginia and temporarilyjournuring in infected areas shall be roadmitted to the State only on the condition that they submit to two weeks absolute quarantine. The board took this action after Health Com. Williams had reported on steps heretofore taken to protect Virginia against the appearance of this disease. Dr. L. T. Royster of Norfolk, member of the board from the second congressional district also reported on observations made by him during a recent stint in the North A. Toowoomba discussion in which all the members participated, preceded the formal action of the board. One question gives careful consideration was whether the board should apply quarantine to patients over twenty years of age. It was explained by members of the board that the number of infective amoeba per person over 16 was negligible, and that direct evidence had not been presented to show that such persons were a danger of the public health concern coming from infected areas. The system of certification is upon which some health authorities have validity relied to prevent the spread of the fattie paralyx. We also did so when it was rejected, the board on the ground that this victim had not stopped the spread of fattie paralyx from New York, where the present outbreak began. The following statement was given out by Health Commissioner Williams following the action of the board: "The quarantine declared today is aimed at those persons whom experience has shown to be most susceptible to fattie paralyx and most responsible for its spread. As far as the public safety permits, no handlamp has been put on personal traffic and none will be imposed unless necessary. Virginale children, who are new in areas infected with fattie paralyx, will be allowed to return to the State if they submit to two weekss quarantine. "Notice of the quarantine regulations have been sent all health officers today and the last text will be issued tonight or early tomorrow morning. The board adopted new regulations, effective tomorrow, regarding the intra State control of infantile paralysis. "I want to emphasize the fact that thus far Virginia has escaped such an outbreak of infantile paralysis as has appeared in New York. We have few or cases than we had last year. But the widening circle of infantile parallels renders it imperative that we take such precautions as our knowledge of the disease warrants. I hope the public will support us in our pearnest effort to make these precautions effective, and I shall use the fullest publicity in explaining exactly what the situation is and how we are working to protect the State." "The enforcement of this quarantine will begin at once. Under the resolutions, the railroad or other carrier and any individual transporting anyone into Virginia is jointly liable with the individual for the enforcement of the quarantine. This will be fully covered in the formal text of the regulation which will be issued as soon as they can be drawn in legal form. THE WOMAN CHARMING DAISY MARTIN With Smart Set Company.

This was the situation when Pedi dent Wilson went before engineering in joint session and requested leg it to compel the adoption of an eight-hour day for railway employee, arbitration to prevent the recurrence of a situation such as exists in the railway dispute, and authority to operate the railroads of the country for government purposes in case the strife becomes an actually.

Pointing out the distress and hardships which a nation will strike would bring upon the country, the president asked congress to empower him to draft into the service of the United States the very managers and men who have been unable to adjust their differences so that the government may operate the railroads in case of military necessity. The labor leaders admittedly took their action in the belief that some means was being sought to prevent the strike actually being called. By their action they think they have anticipated any brief processes which might be brok The president summarily dealt talks of the two weeks of reposition to curry up, recounting how he had ladd laid both of his picture of the directions into which a stitched would plance the nation and how he had had sured the railway managers that the public would see that life was done them. "They have that bit, it looks bad he is referring to the railway man- agers, "that they should be freed to yield, if they must be freed, not by counsel, but by the suffering of the cun- try." Thus the president summarized his efforts and a belief. "I don't could only practice. I couldn't govern the will of others who to know entirely different view of the circumstances of the case, who ever refused to admit the dreamtances to be what they have turned out to be." Applause greeted the president's declaration that he recorded from "practical corollary" that the real advice would be "ultimately obliged to accept the eight hour day by the conseceted notion of organized labor backed by the favorable treatment of society." Brotherhood leaders it was understood, will fight the compulsory investigation in feature of its resident Will Wilson's local program but support his eight hour job. Every effort will be made it was, add, to get a rate vote on the promotion in congress and leader, were confident that could be done. A. It Garrettson, apostle for the men, express himself as strongly opposed to the compulsory investigation in plan. "The Canadian compulsory investigation plan," he said, "has proved the greatest throttle to labor that ever has been developed. Invariably, and I speak from experience in dealing with railways, the railroad heads have used this delay guaranteed them by law to prepare for a strike."

Aug. 10, 1904 of the most important colleges ever undertaken in behalf of the college in America has just trumpeted to successful completion by the Bureau of Education of the department of the Interior for three years this Bureau has been making a first-hand study of educational facilities for colored people throughout the United States. The report of this study soon to be published will describe nearly 1,000 educational institutions including some of the best known schools for Negroes, as well as many other smaller schools that pre- dicate in successful work in training leaders for the race. This new work of the Government, inaugurated by Secretary Lane and carried out through the present administration, represents the first comprehensive study made by any agency, either public or private, of the educational provision for colored people in the United States. Officials of the Bureau visited practically every known private school and every school of secondary or higher grade for Negroes, and the resulting report contains recommendations that will have an important bearing on the development of educational institutions, both for colored and white. The report, when published, will be distributed widely throughout the United States in order that leaders in education everywhere may have available for use in their work the results of this important Government investigation ORDERS THOROUGH PROBE INTO HOSPITAL PRACTICES.

Since Saturday night the belief that negotiations between the railroad executives and representatives of the men would end without an agreement has been growing This feeling was strengthened yesterday when the members of the reorganized committee of 640, three of four barge was departed for home after decorating their powers to offer a settlement or call a strike to a committee of 24, instructed under circumstances to agree to arbitration of the demand for an eight hour day at the present rate of pay for ten hours. Whether the plans considered by President Wilson and his advisers at the Capitol will be carried out depends upon today's developments, but it is understood that if all efforts fail to bring the employees and their men together the President will go before Congress and ask that it deal with the situation, even if that necessitates indefinitely prolonging the present session. STRIKE UNLESS ROADS YIELD. Unless the railroad heads recode from their demand for arbitration of the eight-hour day proposal, one brotherhood head said last night, a strike affecting about 400,000 men will be called within the next ten days. Representatives of both the railways and the brotherhoods will confer with the President today. The executives of the lines will present the plan to which they agreed finally Saturday. Its outstanding feature is THE NICHMOND PLANET, NICHMOND, VIRGINIA a demand for arbitration of wages under the eight-hour day or any day. When they have departed, the brotherhood heads, acting under instructions received from the committee of 640 yesterday, will go to the White House and apprise President Wilson that they cannot accept arbitration of this feature of their demands and that in general they stand on his proposal, made a week ago, to concede the eight-hour principle and arbitrate the other issues. PRESIDENT MAY ASK TIME What will follow no one attempts to forecast accurately. There was a report last night, however, that the President might ask the men to postpone action for a period in order that he might seek legislation which would force and provide for a settlement without tying up the country's transportation systems. Secretary Lane and Senator Newlands worked until late last night framing bills for presentation to Congress. The measure given most serious consideration was one drawn along the lines of the Canadian act, which provides for investigation of industrial disputes by a commission for one year, and prevents strikes or lockouts during the period of investigation. If it finally is decided to press such a measure an effort will be made to put it into effect at once. --- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - WOMEN SHOULD BE FOR - CHARLES E.

Mr. Hughes has unanimously taken the right position, and as regards all other positions he, and not his opponent, is entitled to the support of both men and women, and therefore the women in the enfranchised states who do not in this election support him forfeit the right to say they have done their utmost for their sisters in the non enfranchised states" - From a Letter of Theodore Roosevelt to Miss Alice Carpenter MR.

These friends of Democracy who clamored so loudly for Mr. Hughes' opinions upon current issues while he still held the high office of justice of the supreme court are now fully answered by the private citizen who rendered his judicial position to accede to the wishes of a majority of the people as expressed through their instructions to their delegates to the Republican convention. Mr. Hughes has not disappointed those who have rejected confidence in his character and judgment. In his speech of acceptance he has clearly set forth the vital position upon which the Republican party proposes to conduct the election this fall. On the platform he is telling the nation wherein the present administration has been at fault and what is necessary to be done to restore the United States to the place of respect and honor to which it is entitled in the case of the world. --- HIGH LIGHTS OF HUGHES' ADDRESS IN CHICAGO "As I was 100 per cent judge I became 100 per cent candidate."

PROTECTION OUR BULWARK, Forget Not the Dire Conditions Which Depressed This Country Under the Democratic Free Trade Tariff Prior to the War—They Will Return to Plague and Hunger You Unless the Republicans Are Restored to Power. "When we contemplate industrial and commercial conditions," says Mr. Hughes, "we see that we are living in a flood paradise." This is the condition to which the administration and its supporters have deliberately closed their eyes. When the war cloud broke over Europe this country was expert, encing the most serious depression it had known since 1933, when the Democratic party and its policies were in full control of the United States. Suddenly there came from over the sea a demand for munitions of war, clothing, food, supplies, everything needed by vast armies and by countries whose sons were taken from the field and the workshop, never to return. As a result our exports and the back ance of trade in our favor have reached figures for surpassing any ever before known. Temporarily, especially in the east, there is no lack of work at high wages, for Europe must pay whatever price America asks. No thoughtful person would imagine that this condition is anything like real prosperity. How false it is we in Oregon, who have the clearer vision, because not clouded by the smoke from munitions factories, have fully felt and fully appreciated. What the Republican candidate for president says about it the Democrats know to be true: "Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of living. This they have failed to do, but did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Lotus not forget the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the war. Production had decreased; business was languishing; new enterprises were not undertaken; instead of expansion there was curtailment, and our streets were filled with the unemployed." The suspension of these conditions is not nation wide, only sectional, and depends upon the duration of the war. Those who think otherwise are indeed living in a fool's paradise.—Portland (Ore.)

The charges of each of the new benefited nations, highly trained, will then be turned to production." Charles E. Hughes. FLASHES FROM HUGHES' DETROIT TALKS. AMERICAN RIGHTS. "No one could successfully present to an American audience that an American citizen's rights stopped with the court line." "There is not a particle of militarism in my composition, but there is Americanism in its place, and if elected I am going to see that American rights are protected." LABOR. "The workingman is not asking anything he should not have. All he wants is a square deal." "No such thing as prosperity exists for just one class in America, unless it exists for all." "The Republican party does not stand for the prosperity produced by the war, but for a prosperity produced by sound American policies, and There are what we promise to have." PREPAREDNESS "Do not let us get this country into a low patriotic plane so that we are content with disregard, with the scott of the world."

"There is no man who could successfully present to an American community the platform that an American citizen's rights stop at the coast line." "We will get through with this old strife between capital and labor. We are not laborers and capitalists in this country. We are fellow citizens." "All that the workingmen want is a square deal." "We want the United States efficiently managed. I want to see men in office who believe in prosperity." "The Republican party stands for a prosperity produced by sound American policies." "We have removed from office men of experience and subtitled others to satisfy partisan obligations. This must stop." POLITICAL JOTTINGS. At that, however, from beginning to end this has been more of a "you kick me and I'll kiss you" administration. Vance McCormick says the Progressives are stamping to Wilson, and it's a ten to one bet he wishes he could believe it. The Democrats are finding out that pork comes home to root out their standing. The men and women who prefer a man who does things to a man who writes notes about them will vote for Hughes. Government by correspondence takes too long to get anywhere, but government by deeds is always on the job. Those who are concerned to know what Mr. Hughes would have done had he been in Mr. Wilson's place may rest assured he would not have done as Mr. Wilson has. And that is answer enough. Mr. Hughes is not only going direct to the public, but the public is going direct to him. A genuine American fifty-fifty! President Wilson's alarm clock is ringing at 5 o'clock these morning. He can reach out of bed and turn off the morning of March 5. Postmaster General Burleson is too foxy a politician to adopt for his department the McAdoo rule forbidding treasury department employees participating in politics. Mr. Burleson realizes that postmasters are entitled to some exercise for the money. There are no settings or mental reservations to the public pledges of administrative reform given by Charles E. Hughes. His record as governor of New York continues the fulfillment of every promise. Democrat are now convinced that Charles Evans Hughes is a warm prophecation. It is gratifying, indeed, to find that Mr. Wilson's thanks on the suffrage question where he stood at the beginning of his administration. He has changed on about everything else.

WE GUARANTEE FULL AND COMPLETE SATISFACTION ROOSEVELT APPLAUDS HUGHES' SPEECH Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box at Carnegie hall when Mr. Hughes delivered his speech of acceptance and vigorously applauded every telling point. The colonel repeatedly arose and bowed in response to the cheers for him and the shouts of "Teddy!" "Teddy!" "Hurrah for Teddy!" and when the meeting adjourned he made the following statement: "It is an admirable speech, and I wish to call attention to the following points: "I am particularly pleased with the exposure of the folly, and worse than folly, of Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy and of the way in which this policy has brought humiliation to the United States and disaster to Mexico itself. "Moreover, I am very glad of the straightforward manner in which Mr. Hughes has shown the ridicule with which Mr. Wilson has covered this nation by the manner in which he allowed foreign powers to gain the impression that, although he used the strongest words in diplomacy, they were not to be taken seriously." Not Words Which Count "As Mr. Hughes said, if it is not words, but the strength and resolution behind the words which count. As Mr. Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt that if Mr. Wilson's conduct and action had been such as to make the foreign nations believe that he meant precisely what he said in his 'strict accountability' there would have been no obstruction of American lives by the sinking of the Lustanina. "When Mr. Hughes uses strong words his record shows that they are always backed by strong deeds, and therefore in the enormous majority of cases the use of strong words renders it unnecessary ever to have recourse to strong deeds. "Again, Mr. Hughes speaks in characteristically straightforward fashion of the outrages committed on munitions plants, and all men, whether citizens of foreign nations or nominal cities of our own land, who had in any place or way abetted or condoned actions can understand that Mr. Hughes, if president, will protect these domestic American interests and punish offenders against them with the fearlessness and thoroughness that he showed in dealing with the powers of evil at Albany. Brought Nation to Ignominy. "Just before coming in to listen to Mr. Hughes' just characterization of Mr. Wilson's failure to protect the lives and property of Americans in Mexico and on the high seas I happened to pick up John Flake's 'Critical Period of American History' and was struck by the following two sentences: "A government touches the lowest point of ignominy when it confesses its inability to protect the lives and the property of its citizens. A government which has come to this has failed in discharging the primary function of government and forthwith ceases to have any reason for existing." "Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his speech with self restraint, but with emphasis, that it is precisely this primary function which Mr. Wilson's administration has failed to discharge and that it is precisely this point of ignominy to which he has reduced the nation over which he is president." MAINTENANCE OF AMERICAN RIGHTS. Had this government by the use of both informal and formal diplomatic opportunities left no doubt that when we said "strict accountability" we meant precisely what we said and that we should unhesitatingly vindicate that position I am confident that there would have been no destruction of American lives by the sinking of the Lusitania. There we had ample notice in fact, published notice. Furthermore, we knew the situation, and we did not require specific notice. Instead of whittling away our formal statements by equivocal conversations, we needed the straight, direct and decisive representations which every diplomat and foreign office would understand. I believe that in this way we should have been spared the repeated assaults on American lives. Moreover, a firm American policy would have been strongly supported by our people and the opportunities for the development of bitter feeling would have been vastly reduced—From Mr. Hughes' Speech of Acceptance.

CROSS —Carter in New York Sun. Female Embalmer POINTED PARAGRAPHS FROM SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE OF CHARLES E. HUGHES: It is apparent that we are shockingly unprepared. When we contemplate industrial and commercial conditions, we see that we are living in a fool's paradise. Not only have we a host of resources short of war by which to enforce our just demands, but we shall never promote our peace by being stronger in words than in deeds. We are neither deceived nor benumbed by abnormal conditions. We know that we are in a critical period, perhaps more critical than any period since the civil war. The administration utterly failed to perform its obvious duty to secure protection for the lives and property of our olig-zena. It is most unworthy to slur those who have investments in Mexico in order to escape a condemnation for the non-performance of this duty. It is only through international co-operation giving a reasonable assurance of peace that we may hope for the limitation of armaments. We have determined to out out, out root and branch, monopolistic practices, but we can do this without hobbling enterprises or narrowing the scope of legitimate achievement. We demand a simple, business-like budget. I believe it is only through a responsible budget, proposed by the executive, that we shall avoid financial waste. We have had brave words in a series of notes, but, despite our protests, the lives of Americans have been destroyed. WILSON FLEXIBILITY. We do not see why there should have been any stir in the senate over the discovery that President Wilson has completely reversed himself in the matter of the proposed child labor law. Senator Boruh was able to show that Mr. Wilson described this legislation in his "Constitutional Government" as unconstitutional, an "obviously absurd extravagance," carrying the congressional power to regulate commerce beyond the "utmost boundaries of reasonable and honest infer.

That, we must confess, has also been the Evening Post's view. But the Evening Post and Senator Borah are old foxes, dating back to the time when it was the custom to have fixed beliefs and principles, and stick to them. The senator has evidently not read Mr. Wilson's letter in explaining his change of front on the tariff commission, that it is only a narrow man, whose mind is simply closed to new ideas, who does not alter his opinions. By this test Mr. Wilson is obviously one of the broadest minded men this country has ever produced, for he has changed his mind to date on the initiative, referendum, recall, woman suffrage, the tariff commission, tariff for revenue only, a permanent diplomatic service beyond politics, the merit system in the civil service, the proper place of Tammany Hall in the scheme of the universe, child labor legislation, preparedness, Bryan, a continental army—but why continue? It is a long enough list to prove that Mr. Wilson's political views are not fossilized by any fear of inconsistency.—New York Evening Post. ADEQUATE NATIONAL DEFENSE DEMANDED We demand adequate national defense; adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts. We demand thoroughness and efficiency in both arms of the service. It seems to be plain that our regular army is too small. We are too great a country to require of our citizens who are engaged in peaceful vocations the sort of military service to which they are now called. As well insist that our citizens in this metropolis be summoned to put out fires and police the streets. We do not count it inconsistent with our liberties, or with our democratic ideals, to have an adequate police force. With a population of nearly 100,000 we need to be sure of ourselves than to become alarmed at the prospect of having a regular army which can reasonably protect our border, and perform such other military services as may be required in the absence of a grave emergency. I believe further, that there should be not only a reasonable increase in the regular army, but that the first citizen reserve subject to call should be collated as a federal army and trained under federal authority.

Hughes campaigned for the first time among the sturdy farmers of the eastern part of North Dakota and left behind him the reputation of being a "pretty good fellow." He was forced to undergo a critical scrutiny before the verdict was given. Mr. Hughes preached the doctrines of government efficiency, Americanism, tariff as protection to the farmers and preparedness, and in each instance won applause, despite the fact that the farmers are not the strongest advocates of the lost named issue. They cheered for preparedness the loudest when Mr. Hughes told them that it meant not militarism, but ability to uphold national honor.

The Russians after a considerable period of inactivity in the Carpathians, are moving aggressively against the Teutonic forces, taking Jablonitsa, one of the chief gateways to Hungary, and a series of heights west of Vorokht and Ardremoy. Russian captures of prisoners from June 4 to August 12, are officially reported to Petrograd to have totalled more than 358,000 men. Along the French front in the Somme region there was no marked activity. The British line in the Poitiers region where trenches were recently taken from the Germans are being consolidated, but the relative positions of the opposing forces have not changed. At Verdun there was a violent artillery bombardment east of the Meuse, but no infantry activity. A French-Italian air squadron at attacked Muglia, near Trieste. The Italian advance guard is said to be only thirteen miles from that port. More Austrian trenches east and south of Gorz have been captured. THURSDAY. Indication of the stiffening of the Teutonic resistance to the Russian advance in Galicia is contained in a statement from Petrograd, which announces renewed counter attacks by the Austro-German forces. The capture of 7500 additional prisoners and forty-six guns by General Brusselloff's armies is announced. After scoring important gains along a front of nearly three miles in the Somme region both north and south of the river, the French are busily consolidating the newly won ground, making preparations for the expected German counter stroke. Bulgaria officially admits that the allies are attacking in considerable force in the Dolran region. The allied attacks which have been increasingly frequent during the past fortnight, are generally regarded as the first stage of the long heralded Balkan offensive. FRIDAY The Russians, temporarily held up in their Gallican drive by heavy counter attacks, have again begun to move forward. Petrograd announces that the Teutonic armies have failed in their attempt to throw back General Brusselloff's armies, sustaining heavy losses in the effort, and that the Russians are again advancing at several points. In the news from France the Verdun region again commands attention. The French have not been notably active there for the past few days but they resumed their offensive east of the Meuse and according to the Paris Bulletin, succeeded in driving the Der.

After having been held up for some time along the Stokholm, General Brussels's forces have broken through the Austro-German lines about forty miles northeast of Kovel at Cismaritz, making a notable advance, according to the official statement. On the western front, British troops advanced from 200 to 600 yards on a front of two miles in the Somme region. German counter attacks against the French near Maurepas were repulsed. Paris reports. Northeast of Verdun the Germans have been forced out of the remainder of the ruined edge of the village of Flore, which they occupied. Parts anomies. Southern fighting is continuing about this sector of the Verdun front. SUNDAY Russians advance through breach in German line in Volhynia and take several positions and 600 prisoners. Carpathian heights are carried by czars' troops in advance on Hungary. German attempts to recapture Fleury from the French at Verdun were repulsed with severe losses. Bulgarian gains are reported on the Salonica front. The British claim successes in the Halkans, and the French report heavy fighting on 150-mile line. Two British light cruisers were sunk in the North sea by German submarines. One of the submarines was destroyed by British fire and another was rammed and possibly sunk. MONDAY. Balkarians forces have started a drive for Kavali, on the Angean sea their outfits being reported as with in sixteen miles of the port. This move, it is asserted, seriously interferes with the plans for the allied offensive, now under way. Italian troops are to take part in the important campaign just opening in the Italian according to Salonika advises, with report the disembarkation of Italian soldiers at that port now in progress. The Russian war office reports further progress in the Stokhod front, where a break has been opened in the German lines. German counter attacks against the British in the Somme region during the night were repulsed, although petrols northwest of High wood were driven back, according to a London announcement. The Germans made a vigorous attack with Lion'd fire in an attempt to retake the village of Fleury, north-sart of Verdon, but were repulsed, the French say. ```markdown ``` Florence, S. C., Aug. 25.

Christian Salutation. Having been honored with the presidency of the National Baptist Convention for twenty two years, I think it fitting and proper that I call your attention in this way to the forthcoming meeting of that great organization on, to be held at Sayannah, Georgia. September, 6-11, 1916. It gives me exceeding great pleasure to say that all indications point to one of the largest and most representative gathering of Baptists in the history of the organization. Georgin with three hundred and fifty thousand Negro Baptists, who are united under competent leadership, extend a most hearty welcome to the Baptists of all the states of the Union to come and be their guest. The eminent and worthy posters of all the churches, and the leaders in all the civic organizations with their great following in Savannah are more ready to receive all who now come. The terrible cyclone which swept the country in the recent past has served to stir up the real manhood in the demonstration, and many of our most worthy men, who have not lithered back seen on the front seats in the convention will be at Savannah, to see to it that the work of the torrent and the cause of our Lord and Master is not destroyed by violence and instruc The meeting at Savannah is to be conducted in the work that will also assist the coming conventions of Baptists, and leave no room for any other to doubt what contitute the laws of governing power among Baptists. The materials prepared by the Board of the National Baptist Convention covers all the territory carried by Baptists in the United States and takes up every phase of the work as carried on by the several Boards of the Convention. We have been reliably informed that every regular organization of Baptists in the entire country, including the Letters Carey, New England and Western States Conventions will be literally represented at Savannah. The splendid organization known as the Woman's Auxiliary Convention will be more largely represented than at any previous meeting and more good accomplished. With the hundreds of encourrages letters which we are receiving almost daily, I most heartily congratulate the demonstration on the splendid outlook for a most successful session on the eve of the assembling of the Convention. I may now be making my last call to the faithful Baptists with whom I have been associated for so many years, but whether I am not or I beg to say that I have striven to be faithful to the trust you have requested in me, and if I can have a loving place in your affessions, I will esteem it a far greater treasury than any worldly honors or earthly treasures. Yours for the peace and unity of the Baptists. E. C. MORRIS, President, National Baptist Convention JONES CONVENTION DEAD.

Y., the official distinction of being the home of the first baseball diamond in the United States, laid out in 1839 by Gen. Abner Doubleday, a native of the town. Now comes an attempt on the part of some old golfers to find out just when the first golf links were established in the United States. Many have for some years contended that the course of the St. Andrews club, Yankers, N. Y., laid out in 1856, was the first in the country. But a writer in the New York Evening Post has traced the history of another course, laid out in 1882 at Oakhurst, the estate of Russell Montague, of Boston, near White Sulphur Springs, Va., which, according to old inhabitants and visitors at the Springs, is the oldest in the country. It is stated that back in the Allegheny Mountains, some 2 miles from the hotel and about 5,000 feet above sea level, is a valley which resembles very much a bit of Scotch scenery. The country was originally settled by Scotch and Scotch-Irish and in the sixties and seventies a number of Among the residents were George Grant, his nephew, Lionel Torres, an English tea planter, who played golf in East India, Scotland and England; Alexander and Roderick McIntosh McLeod, of Dalvey, Scotland, who had a place about a mile up-the valley; Montague, who had played over the Scotch St. Andrews, and another Scotchman, George M. Donaldson. These men formed a club and laid out a nine-hole course 2,700 yards long, across Oakhurst, Montagu's estate, and Greycliffe, Grant's estate. For six years, these players held an annual tournament on Christmas day, keeping their hailstacks and scores from year to year for purposes of comparison. At that time there was no place in America where golf supplies could be bought, consequently clubs and balls had to be obtained from abroad. The head clubs of the day had a solid brass head. Donaldson was abroad, and was commissioned by his fellow club members to bring over a good supply of clubs and balls. At New York the customs inspectors passed the balls without question, but they decided that the clubs looked suspicious. In vain did Donaldson explain that they were used in playing a game. The inspector declared that no one ever played a game with "such implements of murder." And in the end he proceeded without the clubs and had to wait six weeks until an official of the customs department at Washington decided that the clubs were harmless. For many years the enthusiasts at the Oakhurst links were the objects of curiosity at the Springs, visitors driving out to see them play marbles with sticks. But in time golf came into its own, and Oakhurst became popular. Until five years ago the course, in spite of its cumbersome cups and other drawbacks, was in constant use. Then a new course was laid out at the Springs, and, al-though the old course is still there, it is seldom used. TAYLOR URGES PROBE OF CASE Coroner Taylor told Police Justice Crutchfield today that while he thought there was nothing to justify a charge of murder, he did think the eight ought to consider whether Ben Timberlake should be punished for assaulting John Brown the night of July 15, 1875. Brown died later at his home. 135 North Seventeenth Street his death being mourned at first to imply resulting from natal or divorce. When the police learned that Brown had been, he right home by Timberlake in an almost helpless condition and that certain persons were willing to swear that they had seen Timberlake knock him down, they decided to have the body dug up so that his skull could be examined.

Action against John Mitchell, Jr. colored, editor of the Richard Platt Plan, will probably follow a conference to be held tomorrow morning by Major Louis Werner, chief of police, with attorneys to whom the chief has gone to learn whether or not editorial utterances in the issue of August 26 are in violation of law. Editorial in Saturday issue of the Planet having bearing on the case of Policeman Culling-worth, recently discharged from the force for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, have been brought also to the attention of Assis tant United States District Attorney Hiram M.
