NET THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION MEETS Savannah, Ga. Without a doubt, the greatest session ever held in the history of the National Baptist Convention has just passed into history and the thousands of delegates who came from all parts of the country are leaving for home, and will be there when this comes to the readers. Special trains, extra coaches on the regular trains, and special Pullman sleepers brought the host into the city, and once here, every preparanl had been made by the people of Savannah for their comfort, and they succeeded. The host homes of the city were opened to the delegates and all seemed to have an enjoyable time. CALLED TO ORDER When President E. C. Morris called the convention to order Wednesday morning there was hardly standing room in the church. It turned out that the First African Baptist Church was the largest seating auditorium in the city, but at no time were all the delegates able to get inside of the spacious building. In calling the convention to order, Dr. E. C. Morris said among other things, "We are going to take this country for Christ and the Baptist Church. We come together here as the stewards of the household of faith and we are under the eyes of Him who never sleeps. He expects us to do that which will redound to His glory and to the good of all mankind. We must not disappoint Him." COMMITTEES APPOINTED Rev. J. W. Boykin, of Camden, S. C., assisted by R. P. W. Wrenn, of Greenwood, Miss., conducted the devotional services. This part of the opening was impressive. It was followed by the reading of the program, and then the appointment of committees as follows: Enrollment—William H. Steward, Kentucky; A. A. Coser, Mississippi; B. J. Perkins, Tennessee; J. P. Kerah, Oklahoma; A. D. Williams, Georgia. Finance—R. E. Bryant, Arkansas; P. L. Lights, Texas; W. W. Whitton, Tennessee; J. W. Goodgame, Alabama Church Finance—I. A. Thomas, Illinois; J. R. Bennett, Pennsylvania; R. M. Caver, Arkansas; R. T. Simms, Mississippi; C. S. Rohllek, Alabama. Ushers—T. P. Smith, Kentucky; W. J. Jackson, Georgia; George McNeal, Kansas; J. A. Martin, Alabama; E. C. Canady, Mississippi; J. Francis Willem, Kentucky. Practically a recess was had at this point in order to give the committee time to carroll the delegates. It took one hour to enroll the first delegates, and William H. Steward, reporting for the committee showed that 700 had enrolled. Thus the convention was opened for business, and the adoption of the program was the first item. This was followed by adjournment for dinner. THE WELCOME ADDRESSES The feature of the afternoon session was the welcome addresses. Vice President W. G. Parks, D. D., of Philadelphia, presided, and music was rendered by the choir of First African Baptist Church, Dr. G. J. Goodall formally turned over to the convention the church, explaining that at the time the convention had been invited to erect an auditorium, which would be ready for use, but had failed because of some political misunderstandings, and had just started the work. "This is the largest seating auditorium in the city, and we have instructed our people not to come in until the delegates are all seated, or if they do, to go to the gallery. This is yours and we turn it over to you. We have done everything in our power to make you comfortable. We have not tried to take money from the people, but to help them." SOCIAL FUNCTIONS. Those were more social functions for the delegates than any time in the history of the organization. The first welcome address was delivered by Rev. R. J. Singleton, D. D., pastor of St. Phillips's A. M. E. Church—the first church of its kind in the city, spoke of all the other denominations. Rev. Dr. M. W. Reddick, president of the Georgia Baptist Convention, welcomed the delegates to the J. C. Lindsay, represented the men of the city. He is a member in the National Negro Bulldogs as well as active in the League. He told about all the men of the race in the city, put special stress on the banking industry. OTHER ADDRESSES. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels and Rev. J. J. Taylor. Dr. Taylor represented the white Baptists of Savannah. He said that he thought that the time was ripe when the Southern Baptists should turn over to the Negro Baptists all the property they had in Africa, their missionary work, and then help the Negro Baptists do the work. He thought, that there was no one who could reach the darker races like the darker races themselves and the progress made by the Negro would warrant the white Baptists in taking the step. He was roundly applauded. In the absence of John Mitchell, Jr., Prof. N. F. Nix, of Orangeburg, S. C., responded to the addresses. He was eloquent and to the point. ANNUAL SERMON Long before the hour for the opening services in the evening every available seat was occupied. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. A. M. Johnson, president of the Mislappt Baptist State Convention and one of the most eloquent poets in the south. This sermon was well delivered and contained some common sense advice not alone to the pow but to the ministry as well. The long experience of Dr. Johnson placed him in position to speak to his people, and he did not let the opportunity go by. Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., of Philadelphia, delivered a strong address appealing to the young men to take hold of the work. He spoke of the work and accomplishments of the Negro Baptists of the country, especially the National Baptist Convention, and told of his relation to it and its relation to the publishing board. He was unwilling to be a party to taking from the Baptist family that which belonged to it. He said that God would bring about all things for good, because the men of the convention, especially the leaders were praying, and prayer would accomplish much. A REMARKABLE SCENE. Thursday will long be remembered by those who witnessed the scene in the morning. It having been announced that the address of President Morris would be delivered Thursday morning, people rushed to hear it from all parts of the city, as well as the delegates. It was found utterly impossible to get inside of the church, so the president delivered his message, to the multitude from the portion of the church. It was estimated that 10,000 people heard this wonderful address. He went into the troubles of the past. Men who have been attending the convention from its organization declared that it was the greatest document to which they had ever listened. OFFICERS UNANIMOUSLY Following the address, Dr. Morris was unanimously elected president for another year. The other officers elected were Rew W. G. Parks, Ph.D. adelphia, vice-president at larger Prof R. B. Hudson; Selma, Ala. secretary; E. Arlington Wilson, Mississippi; Okla; T. O. Foster; D. D. Memphis, Teen; E. H. McDonald, St. Paul, Minn.; J. M. Nairt, assistant secretaries. A. J. Stokes; D. D. Montgomery, treasurer; Prof M. M. Rodgers, Dallas, Texas, auditor; T. G. Ding, Nashville, Teen, and W. J. Latham, Jackson Miss., attorneys; C. H. Parrish, Louisville, Ky., statistical secretary. Following an address by Dr. R. T. Pollard, Thursday night, "Outlook for Foreign Mission Fields," the annual foreign missionary sermon was preached by the Rev Dr. R. D. Mityfield, of Louisiana. Remarks were made by Rev L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board. FINE REPORTS. Commencing with Thursday, each Board made a report in their order commencing with the report of the Home Mission Bard by Dr. J. A. Booker; Foreign Mission, by Dr. L. G. Jordan; Benefit Board, by J. M. Washington; Education, by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs. Auditor Rodgers made a good report on the condition of the affairs. Perhaps no report attracted more attention than did the Publication Board, by Prof. S. P. Harris, secretary of the Sunday School Publication Board. Friday was full of interesting events as were the other days, but Friday night will go into history as one of the great occasions of the Baptists. It was the appearance of Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., the successor to Booker T. Washington. He delivered a great address, and at the close, resolutions were adopted pledging the support of the convention to the institution, and praising the work of Dr. Moton. Dr. Moton became a life member of the convention. Dr. P. James Bryant, the leader of the Georgia Baptists introduced Dr. Moton. —You never get tired. Read the you.

They "painted the town red" by burning red rocce. The parade on Leigh and Broad streets made a fine showing. The Municipal Band, which took down one of the prizes at Philadelphia, rendered music. LIEUTENANT SMITH HAPPY Lieutant jant James C. Smith robs his charger and with that broad sash, which looks to be about ten inches wide, was in his glory. The sidewalks were churned, while delighted ureths of color "out all kinds of anthems" in front. The formal presentation of prizes took place at Van de Vyver Audition in. The program was excellent. Mr. W. E. Weaver E. R. was Master of Ceremonies. "My Country" Tls of Thee" was sung. Rev. W. H. Stokes Ph. D. offered prayer, after which Mr. Carey Wheaton surprised every one with his eloquence in introducing to the audience Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. MR. MITCHELL SPEAKS. TOO He retired and Mr. Mitchell proceeded with his address and prolonged appraisal. He told of the curry organization of the Ellis. He then expressed his gratification over the success of the Virginians at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He called the leaders by name and then appealed to the members of the Order to continue their efforts to stay at the top. He spoke for about twenty minutes and his remarks made a profound impression. At the conclusion, Madame Carrie Hawkins and her quartette rendered popular selections, which called for vociferous applause and caused all of them to sing themselves almost beyond the powers of human endurance. FATHER HANNIGAN PLEASES THEM Rev. Charles F. Hanukkah delivered a most timely address. He was applauded throughout his remarks and he won the favor of the audience and held it to the close. The quartet of Prof. "Gippy" Smith was a feature. The large audience seemed to be particularly pleased and continued to demand a repetition of the pleasing melodies. Dr. R. E. Jones then presented the prizes won in Philadelphia by Capital City Lodge. No. 11. He made some happy remarks and he was applauded. If the laughter which he caused was any indication of that fact. TREASURER NELSON TOOK IT Treasureur R S Nelson received the prizes on behalf of the Lodge and Lieutenant J. C. Smith received the prize on the part of the Band. "Skip Horn Stuff" was rendered by the Band after Captain Moses Johnson had retired from the rostrum. The boudiction was announced by Rev. Dr W H Stofos.

Following the recent publication in The News Leader regarding an effort on the part of Robert Lecky, Jr., chairman of the board of the Virginia, Industrial School and Home for Girls, to have James B. Doherty, state commissioner of labor, prevent the further working of, white girls and Negro boys together in factories as previously charged in the press and admitted by Commissioner Doherty to be true, Mr. Lecky was today called upon by a reporter for The News Leader. In quoting the law governing such cases, Mr. Lecky cited Chapter 347, Acts 1910, which reads, in part: "Chapter 347, Acts of 1910—1 He it omitted by the general assembly of Virginia, That any person within the state of Virginia of sufficient financial ability, earnings or income, who shall refuse or neglect to provide for any child under 14 years of age, of which he or she shall be the parent or guardian, such food, clothing and shelter as will prevent the suffering and secure the safety of such child, of which subject a child under 17 years of age to violence or imminent violence shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to punishment by a fine of not more than $100 by imprisonment in jail for a period not to exceed sixty days of time thereof to hard labor on the public roads for a period not to exceed sixty days." MR. LECKY'S VIEW. Commenting on this section of the statutes, Mr. Locky directed attention to the words "vicious or immoral nuisances" and said that, in his opinion, the people of Virginia would regard the working at the same bench of white girls and Negro boys, being both virtuous and immoral. And Mr. Locky regarded it as the duty of the state commissioner of labor to see that these conditions were abolished. Continuing, Mr. Locky said: "It is not my intention to embarrass Commissioner Doherty, or to force prosecution. It is my desire, however, to have him exercise the powers of his office to improve the conditions of the white laboring girl by enforcing the statutes of the state. "I have no information as to the name or location of the factory referred to in Commissioner Doherty's previous interview, nor do I expect him to do more than state that the conditions have been removed. "I would also suggest that, should the present laws covering previous workers in our factories be thoughe, the commissioner of labor should include in his next report any suggestions of needed legislation which he might care to bring to the attention of the general assembly." New Leader, Sept. 12, 1916 --- SPECIAL NOTICE TO COLLODED RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.

Mitchell, chairman of the committee on public buildings, properties and utilities, has received word from City Attorney H. R. Pollard that the finance committee will take up the question of a Negro park in old Jackson ward at an early date. City Attorney Pollard has informed the finance committee that the commissioners who condemned the property required for the park have allowed the owners a total of $2,500. The property fronts on the north side of Boyd street, between Harrison and Kinney streets, and the awards are as follows: John P. Davidson's estate, $4,500; I W Crump, $2,000; Marlon L. Norvell, $4,500; Stella C. Jolly, new Houseman, $2,200; Harry and Antoine Cantor, $2,500; Elarence C. Huntor, $2,000; J H Braxton, $1,800; L C Jackles, $1,200; John P. Beale, $900; James T. Carter, $1,550; Nance Pierce estate, $1,600; Andrew Thomas, $1,600; Paul Woll, $2,000; Charles L. Harris, $800; Mary Hoppert, $1,600; P L. Hobson, Jr. $1,200. AMOUNTS REGARDED REASONABLE The duty attaining informs the commissioner that he thinks the amount of loved and reasonable. He also informs Alberman Mitchell that the objections made by collected people in regard to the location and the alleged fact that the property is not in condition for a park, that possible property or will require Negroes to frequent the place at a park will it has been improved and suitably equipped as such. LOCATION THOUGHT IDEAL Alderman Mitchell says the location is ideal. "It is within a couple of blocks of the colored Monument avenue, West Lefight street," said Alderman Mitchell, "and borders on eight or ten acres which the city owns. This city property can be added to the land which we propose to condemn, and the result will be a beautiful commute park, a credit to old Jackson ward. It will improve real estate value all around and provide a breathing place where it is needed most." "1011 Jackson ward 14 the most thickly settled section of the city. It leads in density of population with 275 to the north. I believe. A park is necessary in this compact section more so than in any other portion of the city and money invested to this end will more than repay the community. We owe it to the colored population and we owe it to the city in general to establish this park, and I think the finance committee will see its way clear to do so." News Leader, Sept. 9, 1916. SAYS WHITE AND COLORED CHILDREN WORK SIDE BY SIDE State officers were held yesterday day to look with a high degree of levity upon the "competent in a tea pot" that followed Labor Commissioner Doherty's refusal last week to furnish Robert Locky, Jr. with the names of concerns in this city that employ white and colored children in the same quarters. Commissioner Doherty said that Mr. Locky waited on him with such a request, and that he was not furnished with the information. Thereupon, it is stated, Mr. Locky suggested that the information could probably be obtained by appeal to the October grand jury or the Juvenile Court. Lawyers who examined the code yesterday found nothing in it forbidden the employment side by side of white and colored children. In the absence of any law on the subject, it was regarded as doubtful that any statistics bearing on the extent to which white and colored children are employed together in Richmond or elsewhere, are on file in Commissioner Doherty's office.-Times-Dispatch. Sept. 15, 1916 A GREAT SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Rev. W. M. Price, of this city, entertained a large delegation of the District Supday School Convention, of Franklin and adjacent counties, on September 1, 2, and 3rd, 1910.

Many helpful sermons were preached by Revs. R. M. Real, T. Bashan, W. R. Carper, R. J. Watson, H. G. Helms and W. T. Brown. It was also discovered that the peo- ple of Franklin Copty are awakening to the great importance of educating the Negro youth, and every force is at work to foster the educational enterprise known as the Booker T Washington Industrial Institute located at Rocky Mount, and who are exceedingly anxious that our people will become morally interested in racial enterprises and institutions, for that is the only remedy to solve the race problems. --- Mr. Granville Hatcher, of Cleveland, O. called on us "Brittie Palefray" is being shown at the Hippodrome Theatre for ten cents.

Subscribe to RICHTOMON PLANET $1.50 per year—in advance PAGE TWO SATURDAY.....SEPT. 16, 1916 ADDRESS OF MALL R. R. MOTON Saxanah, Ga., September 9—For a number of years prior to his death, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, was present at and delivered an annual address before the National Baptist Convention. His presence and his sound advice were always a tower of strength to this organization. This year his spirit was with the convention, and all felt his powerful cent address delivered on Friday evening, September 9, by Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, and successor to the Great Educator. No address delivered by Dr. Moton since his inauguration so attired and thrilled an audience as did his powerful appeal to the Baptists of America for greater religious sincerity and race unity. He said in part: I want Dr. Moton to congratulate the leader of the Negro race in America for his efforts in the ever may be said about the business man and educator, being the leaders of the Negro people, as yet the Negro leader is the Negro teacher. I do not need to tell you what a great opportunity you have and how truly sacred your so speciality. How gathering it, the land have more to share on so many as by virtue of the friends you whose faces I look. It is quite proper that we should turn out thoughts that we can to the aid of the friends we have gathered to envision the platform at the hour. We would, in expatriate societies and places and with an earnest mental clarity and with an earnestborn born of civilization and in spite this magnificent gathering of Christian workers, surely be could Let me in the other hand, for them for a while while on the other hand, for that our area of leader and teacher would require the first, the would work no longer to happen, our own faith in and behold our request for the Neighbor. He would want to personalize one to the other, also to the white race in which they live, whom language and culture we work to preserve, whom blended flesh and spirit, whom intellect and art, whom never before to follow. He would want to deepen our faith and help the all humanity whether found on a white brown or black skin. I am very sure he would desire the people should have greater and more private allyship in the relations with Joseph Christ. He would further to strengthen our faith in that Person in all the world's history have lived out and worked out more fully and comfortably with those few fortunate individuals in their daily life. He did Washington's work in the war and the establishment of the United States, and the accomplishments of the choirs and the ideals which are necessary in the life of our own people or in the life of all people. He was truly a man of faith and of vision. His name might justify and reward easily to be added to the roll of honour or which St. Damas praised us in the 11th chapter of his book, *By faith he trusts glad with his krafty, though backward word and opinion race*. By faith he accomplished many works in education and in Christian services through the Mission of Southern white people and prosperity of Northern white people. By faith he was able to build the great Tahoe Bee in existence not only to serve the black race but the white man, as well not only Alabama but the native and black people, by bringing about a more careful and sympathetic relation between the two races in the South as well as between the various groups within the Negro race. There are people in this department nomination and in this audience who have in a some mannerOWER sphere done a similar sort of work for their communities, and I do sheerly and earnestly congratulate you, as well as myself and educated Normans generally, on the great opportunity we have to pain inspire ourselves from such an unselfish life as for Washington, and to inspire others for greater and more efficient service. My friends I am an optimist. I believe firmly in the possibilities of our own race I believe we should more and more encourage the Negro to send and to use these tremendous advantages by which he is surrounded here in American and in the South. We have, right here, a chance that few races in our stage of development have a chance to get work, to buy land, to build decent homes, and while the chance for education in many respects is still meaner, that too is increasing at an alarming rate in the South. More perseverance in sentiment than in actual accomplishment, but no less real and important. We can live under our own vine and fig tree and can worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. I do not think it is amiss either for me to call your attention to the fact that just now opportunities along industrial lines were never more favorable than today. Negroes are being called upon as never before for service along almost all the lines of industrial endeavor. Avonance of industry are opening up to him that have been closed for many years and as leaders we owe it to ourselves for selfish reasons if for no other, to see to it that these showers of wood, drawers of water in our race, the men and women who earn their bread in the sweat of their faces, the backbone and slown of the Negro race, and of other races are on courage and inspired, not only to secure the positions which they are now almost being persuaded to take, but we should encourage them to hold them by loyal and faithful service by politeness and promptness, by punctuality and industry. For when the great war in Europe is over, there will probably be a flocking to this country such as we have never before known, and these white men from Southern rope and even from England and Gor alarm was many will come here and take the and Norwegian jobs of our own race have in the South the prison and while Southern white men would nought to we naturally prefer the Negro, whom voiding says they know and understand, and who. The time knows and understands them—I we have been b inefficient; and outweighed of fruits of fruit and shiffles many of our race are the opening—they will be forced to accept the ser and the best vices of a foreign race and woe be un-Jackson has to the Negro when that day comes, looked like. You and I must use every opportunity, also, to deepen feeling in the methods of Dr. Washington, and should strive in every reasonable way to deepen the Negro's respect for himself along with respect for the selfs as well. We should encourage him to be lieve in his community and in the people of his community and to be loyal to his community, white as black. Do not cut him loose from his moorings. There is hope for a man when he believes in his mother and his home and in his community. Then he comes when he believes in his community, its city, its county, its State when it believes in its nation. This is our country and if we do not passess as much of it as we would like we have our selfs to blame more than anybody else. The forces of nature are and have been and always will be absolutely color or blind. The wind and the wave and the heat and steam and electricity are absolutely blind forces and see no color distinction and draw no color line. The earth will yield as abundantly to the skill of a black man as to a white man and the world's market cares neither about the shade of the hand that produces the commodity whether of cotton, corn, wheat or what not. It does not that it shall be up to the world requirements. A well student throw himself in front of a robbing amphibian and saw the life of a white man and thereby received a Carnegie the world and did not stop to think that his was white or whether the black was white or colored. It was an intelligent human and that was about human life crushed out. DOLL-BREAK JAM BY BRANDING A KITTER A William Jackson, Jr.berger, in charge of the present host of the West Side promenade attached to the Savannah District Court, was called to the rate at the courthouse last night by a young man who asked to have a package delivered to William Boxes of 445 West Porty first street held in the detention pen on charge of having parole in his possession. Asuring himself that the package contained notating but fruit, Jackson went to the office, opened it a little earlier. "Package for you, Power" Power shoved forward, reaching for the package with his left hand. Other prisoners are in the rear of the pen and moved toward the grating. Before Jackson had time to group the grating of these movements, How on anybody withdraw his right hand from his pocket and throw covering peep to the rear of the eye, at the same time adjusting his food between the door and the lamb. NO MATCH FOY, THE PRISONERS Jackson with tears streaming from his burglar eye, tried to shim the perforation. But he was not match for the four prisoners, who pushed, through the opening and locked the keeper against the wall. There Hawes held him while Charles Walley, a weight of 229 West Sixty-First street; Proderferk Herman of 6 Amsterdam avenue, both also accused of having had narcotics in their possession and Harold Proderferk of Mills Hotel No 1, charged with burglary, assaulted Jackson and tried to wrest the keys from his hands. Jackson then and for hours, afterward was completely blind. But being in his keeper, Jackson was held in the enclosed burglary-garage, an amate ware wad potter and balkmander the keeper until four teeth were knocked out and his head was a mass of cuts. At last they got the keys out of the man's grasp by tearing his palms. This took perhaps two minutes. LITTLE NOISE IN THE STRUGGLE During the struggle there was as it notice the noise as Jackson's efforts to shout for help were frustrated by his antagonists, and they were saving their breath. The scuffing was not heard by two keepers on the floors above and sixteen other prisoners, in the detention pool remained absolutely neutral in word and act. They made no effort to escape, nor did they help the keeper. They watched and waited. So the four prisoners walked through the offices unmolested, unlocking var- ious gates and doors as they went and reached the street. Patrolman Buchurio of the West Forty-seventh street station was on strike duty in Forty-third street. He saw two men emerge hattles from the prison. One ran toward Eighth, aue, the other, a negro, across the street. The patrolman got Walley and took all the fight out with one crack of the nightstick. He called Pat protman Fay, also on strike duty, and set him after the other, who when tripped with a nightstick and arrest- ed, proved to be Bowes. JACKSON STILL AT POST The officers took the men to the prison door, and there found Jackson sightless and badly battered holding it shut with his storm hands, because he had no keys and he was determined no more should get out with out a struggle. They convinced the half crushed man they were patrolmen by letting him lie on the stones, and he admitted, them. Detectives were summoned, and also an ambulance from Polyclinic Hospital. A general alarm was sent out for Procter and Kerman. It is believed they left the prison first and were arrested enough to walk instead of run, thus avoiding suspicion. The time for the escape could not have been better chosen; the package of fruit was too large to go through the opening in the detention pen door and the bearer hurried away so that he hardly remembered what he looked like before it was taken. The plot was elaborately conceived. It is not known how. Bowen got the cayenne pepper. He had it before the package of fruit arrived.—N. Y. Sun, Sept. 11, 1916. The Y. M. C. A.

Whether or not State Labor Commissioner or Doherty is to face a grand jury, or be hated before the juvenile court, one or both, remain to be seen. It is known that the commissioner has notified that some such action might be expected by him on account of his refusal to discharge to Robert Lacky, Jr., chairman of the board of visitors of the Virginia Home and Industrial School for Girls the name of the concern, or concerns in Richmond, employing white and colored children to work together, as has been publicly charged. Mr. Lacky holds that under the juvenile delinquency act no person or corporation can constitute the position of any minor, either male or female, under 18 years of age. He calls upon Commissioner Doherty followed a published statement quoting the commissioner as saying that he knew of an instance where white children were working in juxtapolation to colored labor. When he at his office, Commissioner Doherty, of the state labor department, admitted frooly that he had been waited upon by Mr. Locky; that Mr. Locky had demanded to be told the name of the place, or places, in which white and Negro children were permitted to work together; that Mr. Locky had declared that he would very probably lay the matter before the October grand jury, or have it taken up with the juvenile court. Mr. Locky thereupon left Commissioner Doherty. WHAT MR. LECKY SAYS. * When seen an naked about the matter Mr. Lecky did not deny, that he had visited Commissioner Doherty an, that, up on Doherty's refusal to make known to him the place, or place working white and colored children together he had threatened to lay the matter before the juvenile court. Being a state officer, Commissioner Doherty had expressed some doubt as to the authority of the juvenile court to command him in the matter Y. M. C. A. NOTES of his duty. Mr. was of the opinion that matter the state laws, there was no minimum prohibiting the working of whites and blacks together. Mr. Locky thereupon mentioned the fact that he might appeal the matter before the grand jury, whereupon Commissioner Deberty asked upon what charge he would be presented. Mr. Deberty maintained that there was no state law prohibiting the working together of whites and blacks. This being true, he desired to be informed upon what presentment he would be halled before a jury. LOOKS FOR GRAND JURY ACTION Mr. Locky does not appear to be half so well satisfied as does Donna Simoner Doherty regarding the rights of the labor department of the state to withhold the information sought by him regarding the working together of white and colored children, or the legal propriety of the state labor, or local authorities, to allow such conditions to continue. Mr. Locky thinks it more than probable the next grand jury, which meets in Richmond next month, will be called upon to summon Donna Simoner Doherty in connection with the white and color children are permitted to work alone by side in one or more local establishments. The possibilities of such grand jury investigation are considered very interesting at the state capitol, and would doubtless be followed closely by the citizens of Richmond. - News Leader, Sept. 9, 1916. GOVERNOR START APPOINTS LAWYER HUWEN FOR VIRGINIA Governor H. C. Stuart of Virginia, by a commission issuing from the office of the Secretary of the Common wealth on the 1st day of September has appointed Lawyer J. Thomas Howin, of this City a commissioner for the State of Virginia to cooperate with the National Memorial Association, Incorporated, for the purpose of erecting a monument in the City of Washington, J. C. in honor of the colored soldier and sailors who fought in the wars of this country. It is understood that the National movement is in food for this monument, as equipped in Washington, J. C. and that a commissioner will be appointed for each State who will have charge of raising funds in that State for the purpose, hence Mr. Howin has been appointed for this State. TALKS.ON THRIFT "But, if it and be merry, for to merry you," says some foolish one as quoted in the Good Book "But, observes a man of the present, "you flatter yourself tomorrow you will live, and that is worse than dying." The child lives. In the present The boy writes this now. He has no patience. He does not know tomorrow or that tomorrow insults Time is no element in his scheme of things. He simply lives. The man who is really happy is the man who lives. In the future, who anticipates "Hope," says a current writer, "is a much more dominant factor in the lives of life than realization." How many a good, time you haveAnti-pating the good time that didn't materialize! The man or woman who never take a thought of the future of course, can not look forward to the future with any hope or anticipation. The who says, "Look out for tomorrow and today will look out for itself." The who says, "Have a good time today and let tomorrow worry about itself." The Bible told us was Easan, who told him he wanted something to eat quick and not let it for a price but what a price! The world in full of Easan-men, women and children who sell out cheap a year's wretchedness for an hour's gratification; a day's pay for a few moments' thrill; a week's wage for a day's dissipation. There is a law of compensation at work in this old world and you will find out that you pay for every foolish thing you do. The foolish one believes in now in seconds tomorrow. "We live but once," says he "therefore let us live merely." That is just the reason we ought to live sensibly—we live but once, therefore let us live well! "I believe appetites were made to gratify," says the worldly wise one. They were in the right way. "I be there in mourning the future for the fun of the present." says he. Wrong. The mortgage may be foreclosed. "I be there in picking the blossom because its so sweet," says he. Wrong again. The fruit is sweeter than the blossom and you can eat fruit - the blossom you can. I believe that other people should save money build homes, have bank accounts and carry insurance." says he. Wrong again. Their homes and bank accounts won't help you, when your tomorrow comes. You have got to help yourself today. If you want your tomorrow to help you. "I believe in luck," says he once more—"and my luck is bad." Wrong again. Your philosophy is bad, not your luck. You believe the other fellow should work and save? Show him how. You believe that money brings happiness? Save some and find out how much. You believe that winter is coming and you'll need some coal? Wait and see. You believe that money is power? Save some and find out how strong it is. Before the writer of this thrift talk lies a letter—an appeal from a woman who didn't believe in the law of compensation; who didn't believe to tomorrow; who didn't believe in bank accounts, or saving. She defied all the laws of society, tried to live her own life as she saw fit, and now her tomorrow has come and she has no money. She needs it—she can't live without it. Out of a thousand hells she knows she is wrong and has been wrong, for yesterday has gone, today is going, and tomorrow is coming fast. Eat, drink and be merry, if you will for tomorrow you may die, but the chances are you won't, even though you would Hike to. Tomorrow will be a sad day for you, if you live today wrong. Today's savings mean tomorrow's comforts and tomorrow there may be nothing to save. There was a racial outbreak at the meeting of the Women's City Committee of the Husband Alliance at the Hotel, Astor yesterday. Mrs. Leod M. Polachek, a grandniece of Robert E. Lee, the Confederate General, objected to the presence in the room of Eighten Negro women, members of the committee formed by Mrs. Emily B. A. Page, "She" left in indignation with several other women who asked that their names be not used. I'm fond of the Negroes," Mrs. Polachek told the group that gathered around her in the lobby outside the meeting. "I like them and they respect me. I have an old nurse that I think the world of. I think they ought to have the vote, but I won't sit next to them in a meeting. Let them have their own gathering places in their own districts. No hotel and no organization should permit this mixture." Polachek then told how a member of the Hughes Alliance had called upon her old nurse and asked her to join the alliance, and how the woman refused with scorn, saying, "that must be po' white trash or she wouldn't come to see a nigger." "BLAINE, GIRL", PROTESTS. Mrs. E. E. Merry, who described herself as "an old Blaino girl, from the State of Maine and proud of it," defended the colored delegation. The Lord made the white man and the Lord made the Negro," she protested. "I'm not afraid to sit alongside the blacks." In the midst of the powwow Miss Alice Carpenter, chairman of the women's committee, laid down her gavel and came out to demand that the incident be kept out of the papers. She accused Mrs. Polachek of making trouble without being "even a member of the alliance." Mrs. Polachek, defended her title to membership with some heat and an argument with the council during which she accused all of the trouble. Mrs. Page's delegation, sat alently together in a far corner of the room, apparently unconscious of what was going on. It was freely predicted, however, that they will not attend meetings of the white women in future. TWO SPEECHES DELIVERED. There were two speeches yesterday one by Philip J. Cook, president of the State Hughes Alliance, and the other by Dr. Katharine Bement Davis for Davies gave a list of reasons why she wants Hughes in the White House. "We need Federal labor legislation," she said. "And I believe we stand a better chance of getting it from Hughes. We stand a better chance of getting a national child labor law from Hughes. "I joined the alliance as a suffragist believing that with Hughes in the presidential chair we are more likely to get some of our social rights right," she said. In the eight hour law I don't believe the Democrats would have passed one of it if hadn't been that an election was near. And I don't like the way it was out through. "No group of men should go to Washington and hold a club over Congress. I fear that the coming four years will see other groups of men trying to enter their demands in the same way, and we need a strong man like Husches in the White House." Dr. Davie then turned to international matters, saying that while Mr. Husches had had no experience she should have do well because of his judicial mind. "Husches velt had been nominated, she began, but loud applause greeted the Governor's name, and she had to stop. "Well, I wanted, Roosevelt nominated because he had experience in international complications, but Husches will do all right," Dr. Davis added. Mr. McCook in a brief speech declared that the alliance was "for Husches first, last and all the time. ROBBED IN POLICE COURT. Man Claiming to be John Mitchell Nephew Putts Off Cleveland Trick. Chira Muse, colored, 112 West Leigh Street, was robbed of $52 in rather a clever fashion today in police court after she called to pay the fine of her brother, Joseph Clark, who was sent to fall last Tuesday in default of a $50 penalty assessed against him for shouting Charles Boissoe with a razor. According to the story which she told to Detective Captain McFahon at police headquarters, the woman went up to the desk of Patrolman Shelds, official treasurer of the court, and volunteered to pay her brother's fine. Shields being busy at the time, she took a seat in the rear of the court. A few months later she returned to Shields desk and was too busy to wait on her. Resuming her seat, she was waiting for an opportunity to try and induce Shields to take the money when a young Negro woman described as being very black with a ailck head at down beside her. Asking her if she knew John Mitchell, the editor, he volunteered the information that he was Mitchell's nephew when she said that she enjoyed the acquaintance of the editor. He then offered to take the money up to Shields' desk when she explained that she had been unable to get the politician to wait on her. "Maybe will come some time to man," said the Negro. "Pothole so," said the woman, who recalled that several men had succeeded in gaining the attention of Shields while she was endeavoring to gain an audience. The money was handed over to the Negro, who started up toward the desk. But instead of halting there, he continued his way through the door on the other side of the court and disappeared. Detectives were assigned to the case, but the theft was nowhere to be found. He evidently had good enough evidence to prove the court. Richmond (Va.) Browning Journal Journal, 11, 1816. Coatesville, Pa. Aug. 23.—Learning of the purpose to have the "Birth of a Nation" shown in this city, the citizens became aroused and immediately began to form plans by which the play could be prohibited. Whereupon Wm. G. Butler wrote an article in Coatesville Record, setting forth the danger thorpef. Rev. L. W. Stanford called the people together for an indignation meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. After setting forth the purpose of the gathering an organization was affected and Wm. G. Butler was elected chairman and I. M. Richardson, secretary. Several speeches were made by Pompoy Robinson, F. S. Holland, Henry Ransom, Geo. W. Johnson, Wm. Harville, R. J. Bowden, of Chester, and others. It decided by unanimous vote to enter a formal protest against the showing of "Birth of a Nation" Roy. L. W. Stanford was chosen leader of the movement and to whit the Mayor and file protest, namely, Wm. G. Butler, I. N. Richardson, O. D. Holmes, Ed. King, Chandler Jackson, F. S. Holland, Geo. W. Johnson, Henry Ransom. Wednesday evening, August 16th, the Mayor, W. L. W. Jones, was visitel, setting forth our desire. The speakers said the object of the play is to instate race trouble and further strife between the race and as segregation, magnifying, postscription and prejudice already were ripe and this play was only a stimulus that added fuel to the spark that was smouldering from the burning of Jack Walker, which would surely burst forth into a flame if this play was allowed to appear and urged the wisdom of stopping the same. The Mayor, after listening attentively, declared that the play was not the proper thing to appear in Coatesville, where race strife had only a few years ago been at its heights and gave us the assurance that the Birth of a Nation would never appear in Coatesville. This great victory in Coatville means much to us and with proper leadership we are reaching upwards the car of Justice heard our plba and the same was meted out to us. A permanent organization is being made looking forward for the welfare of the race, and with God our Father, Christ our Holiness, and man our brother, the future is brighter. ROBBED OF 852 RIGHT IN COURT. Rolled off of $52 right in the police courtroom in the basement of the city hall was the unusual as well as an embarrassing experience of Clara Muse colored. 112 West Lough street, today. According to the story which the woman related to Detective John Duffy, she met a colored man on arriving at the courtroom and when she told him what she was doing there he volunteered to assist her.

The stranger told the woman to stand in a corner while he paid the money to Servant Shields. He approached the latter's desk, and stood there for a moment, but at his first opportunity allied from the room, the woman said. She searched high and low for him, but he was not to be found in the building. The woman told the police she would be able to identify the man who got her money.—Richmond (Va.)

A lone mina discovers a rich mine for the Molave desert and works it secretly. He dies of thirst. Louise Lacharme meets Overland Red and Collie. They are trampers. Louise's red tails loom over Louise's unhappy boyhood, and she also befriends the pair. Deputy Sherif Tewlon arrests Overland Red, charging him with the murder of the miner. Collie may Red is innocent. Red makes a daring escape. Collie is arrested, and Louise sends her uncle, Walter Stime, to the jail. Attracted by Louise's beauty and kindness, Collie decides to abandon tramp life and become a cowboy. Overland Red, still a fugitive, starts his quest for the hidden mine, and Collie home him money. Red meets a rich tenderfoot, Winthrop, and interacts him in the lost mine. They meet a mina. Provoked by a contatable and a bad man, Silent Saunora, Red wounds the latter. Later he finds the mine. Red and Winthrop work the rich claim. Silent Saunora, seeking the mine and revenge, meets Collie. "Perfectly Harmless Tenderfoot" WILLIAM STANLEY WIN- THROP woke next morning with a vague impression of having lost something. He gazed indolently at the sunlight filtering through the curtains of his sleeping room. Beyond the archway to the adjoining room of his suit a ray of sun- shine lay like living gold upon the soft, rich hued fabric of the carpet. "Gold! he murmured. "Mojave desi- cer! Overland Red! Lost gold! No, it isn't the $200 I invested in the racel's story, for it was worth the money. I never spent four happier hours in my life at $50 an hour. The best of it is be actually made no believe him. I think be believed himself." Winthrop sat up in bed, yawning. "I think black coffee will be about all this morning," he murmured as he dressed leisurely. He was tying a fastidiously correct bow on his tan Oxford when he ha- ppeled to glance out of the window. Below on the smooth black pearment patTERN two laden burros accompanied by a typical miner. Such an adventurer was the Overland Red he had talked with. The trump had mentioned a town far out on the desert. Winthrop sauntered down to the deserted office and secured a time table. When the castlebound express left Los Angeles the following morning Winthrop was aboard, uncomfortably installed in the private drawing room of a sleeper. He had cheerfully paid the double fare that he might have the entire space to himself, and he needed it. Around him, on the floor, in the seats, in the racks and on the hooks, were innumerable packages, bags and bundles. Next morning as the train slowed down for the desert town Winthrop was in the vestibule, peering out anxiously. It did not occur to him that Overland Red knew nothing of his coming or that the other would be waiting on the station platform if he did. The tramp had not the faintest desire to make himself conspicuous. Some of Winthrop's enthusiasm had evaporated during the hot night in the sleeper. He watched the train crawl down the track. He wondered how long he would be able to distinguish the pattern of the brasswork on the observation car rail. Out of the empty distance came the click, clink, clank of hammers and above as the section men, a mile down the track, stepped into work behind the train. "Prospectin?" queried a lank individual, alooping up to Winthrop. "A little," said Winthrop. "It's pret- "A little" said Winthrop. "It's pretty dry work." "Unhh. It's goin' to be hot about noon." "I suppose so. Will you kindly give me a hand with this monotony?" said Winthrop, indicating the pack. "The agent seems to be busy." "Nurul She ain't roped very tight." Which proved to be true. The bundle with a kind of animal indifference slowly sagged, opened, and things began to trickle from it in its journey across the platform. Among the things was a bottle of brandy. The dark individual picked this up tenderly and set it to one side. Winthrop noticed his solitude and smiled. "We can rope 'em up again," said the dark one, suddenly becoming enchanted. "My name's Jim Hicks. I'm comeback here." "I well. I'm William Winthrop. From Los Angeles. I'm a naturalist. Will you accept a cigar?" "Thanks. You want to pack this bottle too!" "Me, right away. Whow! It is got that bug." "Hey up to the hotel?" queried the custodian. Whispering glanced along the street the door did not lock, inviting. "I don't know. I'd like to get in the white house." ```markdown ``` SYNOP515 CHAPTER IX. Town there and ... "My friend." "Why, ain't you waitin' for anybody? You ain't goin' to tackle that bug huntsin' trip alone, be you? It's dangerous out there for a tenderfoot. Now, I have took folks out and brought 'em back all right—gone as far as them hills over there, and that's a good lag from here—and I only charge $4 a day and grub." "I thought you said you were constable." "So I be. Takin' parties across the desert is on the side. How far you figurin' on gold?" "I haven't made up my mind yet. Say we go down as far as the adobe you spoke about as a beginning. Perhaps we can arrange terms." "I'm on,公尔," said the constable. Under the pepper树 shading Fernandino's adobe sat Winthrop and the constable. The brandy bottle was half empty, and a box of cigars was open beside it on the bench. The afternoon shadows were lengthening. The constable had been discurcive, voluminous, in his entertaining. Time was as nothing. He borneward generously of tomorrow and even the next day. He became suddenly quite fond of this quiet, gentlemanly chap opposite him, who said little, but seemed to be a man of great wisdom. "S 'this way,'" said the constable, leaning forward and waving his cigar: "You're free' of mine—sure thing. 'S afternoon now, but I was plumb fooled this morning.' 'Y know?' afternoon now. Thought you was the guy I'm lookin' for. If Overland Red—bum—tram. Wire from Los Angeles to uppern' him if he shows up here. See?" "You're not quite clear to me," replied Winthrop. "But never mind about apprehending anyone. Let's talk about this glorious prospect of sand, silence and solitude. I feel like a fallen angel. Never mind about arresting anybody. Life is too short. Let's talk of roses." "Hoshes! Huh!" sniggered the contender. "You're kin of so, isn't your Roshes nothin'. I'm goin' talk about business. It's business, my business, to talk about it. So? Tain't your business. You can listen, an' when I get through the m you can talk roses." "But what is your business?" asked Winthrop, with an indifference that he did not feel. "S-a-b-b! I'm sensible. That's on the quiet. Thousand dollars reward fr'r apprehension of Verlan Red. Thought you was him, like he, hee!" "Please don't laugh like that. It hurts my feelings." said Winthrop. "It is hard enough to be taken for a—cr- Far down the line, the name the faint of whose and the distant clear bearer in a monotone. The local fair from Los Angeles, was whis- ter in the block. A whistle came at his watch, then at the coupletable. "What train is that?" the customer. The coupletable's eyes drowned, then opened languidly. "Rattles" train, "I course." And he still forward to his allow and throw to the bench. Pres- ently he snored. Winthrop strolled toward the app- proaching train. "Pretty still session." he commented. "Now, if happy chance should bring (Oweland Red on this freight, with his burp and outfit, I have one reason to offer for wanting to go with him. I've probably saved him some annoyance indirectly, but rather effectively, I think." The great oil burning locomotive roared in, casting heat waves that smelled of steam, iron and mechanical energy. The hot air stoked Winthrop. A car was cut out and shunted to a siding. Then the engine, pausing to drink a garmentant draft at the water tank, stimmered away in the duck clanking across the switch points. A figure leaped from the freight car to the ground. Then out came a burrow and several bundles. The figure strode to the station and filled two cannons. Winthrop walked toward the burrow. When he of the burrow and cannons returned he found Winthrop stroking the little animal's nose. "What the—how the—who" lost you out here? asked Overland. Winthrop spoke rapidly and to the point. "Express this morning. Lonesome again. Thought I'd make a change. My outfit is over at the station. Don't say 'No' before you hear me. You're going to need me—tender-feet and all." "But you can't"— "Walk. The local constable has a wire from the Los Angeles police to look out for you. Perhaps you got this far because you're traveling in a freight car. No double all the passenger trails have been watched all along the line. The constable has been my—or my guest since morning. He is asleep now. I had, to do it. He told me after either the sixth or seventh giant, I forgot which, that he was looking for you. Come on over to the station and inspect my outfit, please. I think we had better vanish." Overhead breathed once deeply. "Load me to it!" he exclaimed. "You got my number. I guess you come here children ah? No? I'll never call THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA You a tenderfoot as long as shake! "The inspection of the outfit was brief. "Take the Colts and the curtries and the blankets and the rope." Away out in the night of stars and silence plodded the patient burro, and beside him plumified Overland Red and Billy Winthrop. "We'll fool 'em," said Overland. "Keep jongil. We'll be over the range before morning." Then let 'em and us! Winthrop, staggering along, felt his mord stamina crumbling within him. "I don't know about that. Perhaps I'll be a ding to the expedition. I'm pretty tired." Overland, experienced in the remorse that follows liquor on an empty stomach, savor vigorously and picture-clues. "You'll stick. Do you suppose I'd shake you now after you overcumulate a genuine nickel plated desert constable Nx! That ain't my style. You be- D. Brow "Who lost you here?" asked Overland. Beved me when I said I was going to this particular town. It's worth somethin' to have a fella around that believes a fella once in whirl. But what I want to know is why you done up the constable so offhand like, not known' whether I'd show up here or not? "Why?" And Winthut smiled wanly. "Because I'm a perfectly harmless little old tenderfoot." And his voice caught me so tired to laugh. All at once that night the trump realized that this night going young easterner, wealthy, unsuspect of hardship, delicate of health, had his battle to fight as well. "I knew you to get over it," refreshed Overland. "She's high and dry up here on the desert, and I reckon to go where its higher. He's game, but he's desperate. He's try to shake the vapour, which can't be did. Well, if environment will help any, I guess he's rhin' the right way. If he's got to pass over he might as well go quick. Mebby has the best kind of a pal for this deal, after all." Overland looked across at the muffled form, "Paraduct," he called. Winthrop did not answer. "Well, it saves explainin'," mattered the trump, and he rose quietly. He gathered the few camp utensils together, rolled his blankets, brushed and over the contents of the fire and groped stoutly toward the horror. He roped the pack, glancing back to ward the water hole occasionally. Winthrop slept heavily. "Guess I'll go back and get that gun," muttered Overland. "I might need two. Anyway, he might wake up and plug his old friend the container before he known it. I might give a whoop for the countable, but I don't want to see the kid get in wrong." Then Overland, wily and resourceful in border tactics, led the burro round the camp in a wide circle, from which he branched toward the hills to the north. For two hours he journeyed across the starlit emptiness. Arriving at a narrow canyon in the foothills, he picked the burro. Then he sat down. Why not continue with his pack and provisions? He could camp in the fastness of the mountain country and explore it alone. He would run less risk of capture. Winthrop was not strong. The "eastern meant well enough, but this was the desert. Desert Law. HE blue of the eastern horizon to a gold, thin, gray, white slowly to the straw color of tempering steel. The tramp, watching the sky, shook his clinched fat at the dawn. "You, up there!" he growled. "You didn't give me a square deal when I was down and out that time in Bonnar. I had to crawl to it alone. But I'll show you that I'm bigger than you. I'm gold' back to the tenderfoot and see him through if I swing pole high for it." If was light when the tramp and arrived at the water hole. He crept behind a sharp dip in the hummocks. The crest of his tiding place was covered with brush. It was a natural rife pit, affording him seclusion and shelter. With the sun came the faint thud of boots as two riders came warily up to the water hole. One dismounted and stooped over Winthrop. The other sat his horse, silent, vigilant, saturnine. "Say, where your pal, that there Overland Red guy' asked the constable, shaking Winthrop awake and glaring at him with a bleared and halefe ear. The man on the horse frowned, en- suring, in the light of his experience as a successful and still living two gus man, that each notion were rather erased. The eastern sat up, eagled and blinded in the down. "Where is what way, good morning! You're up early." And his eye swept, the empty camp. So Overland Rod had deserted him after all. He might have expected as much. "I haven't any jail, as you can see. I'm out here studying insect life, as I told you I would be yesterday. You needn't shake me any more. I'm awake. I can't say that I'm exactly pleased with my first specimen." "Oh, I'm a specimen, am I? I'm a insect, hey? Well, you are crooked, and you just talk up quick or the calaboose for yours." "No. I beg your pardon; but, no. You are in no condition this morning to talk with a gentleman. However, you are my guest. Have a cigar." The horseman's eyes twisted. He admired the young easterner's coolness. Not so the constable. "See here, you swallowin' it horn shell shearer, you cough up where Overland Red is or there'll be something'din' you. You doped that bacon yesterday, but you can't throw no bluff like that today." "I did what? Please talk slowly." "You doped that booze you—" "Much to the constable's surprise, he found himself sitting on Winthrop's blankets, and one of his eyes felt as though some one had begun to scratch it up quickly with coarse thread. Winthrop, smiling serenely, nodded. "Sorry to have to do it. I know I don't look like that kind, and I'm not, but I happen to know how." The constable got to his feet. "I didn't doctor the brady, as you intimated," said Winthrop. "And you needn't finger that belt of yours. I haven't a gun with me, and I believe it is not the thing for one man to use a gun on another when the ce-victim happens to be unarmed." The horseman, who had courage, admired Winthrop's attitude. He rode between them. "Cut it out, Hicks." he said. "You're actin' locust. Guess you're carryin' your load yet. I'll talk to the kid. We're losin' time. See here, stranger—" Overland, watching and listening from his hiding place, grinned as the constable suitely mounted his horse. Winthrop politely but firmly declined to acknowledge that he had had a companion. Overland was pleased and the riders were baffled by the young man's subtle evasion of answering them directly. "Sito of it is you're stung," said the man who had questioned Winthrop last. "He's it out; he's done you." To this the easterner made no reply. The horsemen rode away, following the circle of burrow tracks toward the door, where the rider had deriding what had become of his companion. He could hardly believe that the trump had deserved him, yet the evidence was pretty plain. Even his revolver was gone and his belt and cartridges. Winthrop yawned. He was hungry. There was no food, but there was water. He walked toward the water hole. "Stand still and listen," said a voice. Whisthump jumped back, started and trembling. The voice seemed to come from the water hole at his feet. "Over here, this way," the voice said. Whisthump smiled. If it were a disembodied spirit taking it was no other than the spirit of towland Red. The accent was unmistakable. The eastern clamper shaped and observed a peculiar something behind the brush edging the rise beyond the water hole. "It's me," said Overland, still concealed. "Thought I quit you, eh? Are they tells out of sight yet?" "No; they're still in sight. They are too far to see anything though." "And you can see them all right, son? That don't matter at all." Whisthump laughed. "That's so. Where's the burrow?" "He's hid-right in pants, sight up a little arrow." "Won't they find him and conceive him and the things?" "Not on your life!" "Don't exactly healthy, even for constance to go round confessin' outfits they don't know who's connected with. They can't say for sure that and stuff is mine. They'll look it over and leave it right there." "But why did you come all the way back here?' asked Witney. "Seem' they just of time. I explain. If I had kept on out they would 'a truely me and me would get a crack at me in them life.' They are two to one, they could get me at "Overland limited!" he shouted, night. Now they'll either give it up or spot my back tracks and find me here. That's all." "Perhaps that won't be all," rented Winthro, walking toward the ridge where Overland lay concealed. The tramp grinned up at him. "Mobby not, pardner. You was tellin' Sweeney Orcutt back in Los Angeles that you wanted to get up against the real thing. I ruckon you bought the right ticket this trip." "Will they—will there be any shooting?" asked the easterland. "Not if I can help it," replied Overland. "I borrowed your gun on the chance of it. 'Course if they get sorry, why, why's no tella' what will happen. I'm mighty, touchy about some things. But lament! I'm actin' as your traveler's insurance against temper, as the pote mays, which means keeptin' your temper.

After the smoke blows away I'll be desirited to accept your congratulations." The trump lay curled like a snake behind the round. He drew Whitkop's gun from his belt. He pressed it, shaking his head as he did it back again. "She's paw and will pull stuff. That means shells there to the right. Well, I get the little hat to open up the show with." William Stanley Whitkop, despite his reservation, found that his hands trembled and that his heart beat slowly. He wanted to shower to run out toward the barbershop to do anything rarer than sit calmly slip by the water clock. The two tides bound up. The constable dispatched "Nother dawn" to sound, to think. "No thing doing" to school the man on horseback. "That," instructed Overland Red, squirting a little higher behind the bushes, "was intended for me. I know that tone. It means there's a bit 'girl' Well, I'm good and ready." And he lifted both of his red, hairy hands to the edge of the hole, and both his hands were "filled" About these the man on the porch began to ride out from the water hole in a wide circle.

The constriction a shot and held it behind a ridge instinct. Whisthop even climbed at the oyster tracties. "He seen a jab k run in there, explained the constriction." "This horse's not bred in" "murmled Overland, as the constables holstered his gun and combed to toward the tide. "He toed to the gun on the cayenne. The other one don't count." The rider had appeared from behind the rider. Slowly overland misled his right hand. Then the old riding soul of Jack Simmons' sheriff of Abtente, robbed. "No!" Hanged if TJ amouh any white man." And he leaped to his foot. "Overland Limited!" he shouted, and with his baitery came the quick tattoos of shots. The horseman wavered, doubled up and pitched forward to the sand. Overland had dropped and rolled to one side as the constables gun bloomed indefinitely. The trumpy boll will. A clatter of empty stumps, the wail of a horse galloping past, and silences. Slowly the constables approached Overland's prostrate figure. "Time's up for you," he said, covering the trump with his gun. "Water, eb! Well, crawl to it, you rat" Winthep, his heart thumping whilily, followed the containtable. So this was desert law? No word of warning or luxury, but a ball of shoes, a riderless house two men strung upon the sand and the burning sun switching in a cloudless circle above the associate shower. "You seem to kind of recognize your friend now," she screamed the containtable. That was too much for Winthrop's overruling man. His pulses puffed in his ears. With a leap he called the constables gun and twisted at it with both hands. There was an explosion, and Winthrop grinned savagely, still strugging. With insane strength he finally tore the gun from the other's grasp. "You're the only coward in this affair," he gasped as he leveled the gun at the constable. That officer, reading danger in Winthrop's eyes, discreetly throw up his hands. "Good!" exclaimed Overland, standing up suddenly. "That was risky, but it worked out all right. I had a better plan. You go set down, Billy. I'll see this gunt safe toward home." Winthrop plunged hysterically. "Why, you-you-you're a joke!" he cried. "I thought—" "So did the little man with the pie pan pinned on his shirt," said Overland. "You keep his gun. I got to see how bad the other's guilt is."

"I'll-get him if it takes-a thousand years!" he hittered. "I reckon I'll take all of that," growled the constable. "You can have all you want of his game. Saunders. I'm through." Out by the water hole Overland turned to Winthrop. "I'd give you enjoyed the performance," he said, grinning. "We've opened the pot, and the best man makes her down.

JOHN MITCHELL, JR., Pres The president has changed his mind about sending more troops to the border, thus running true to form. When Tom Tuskart talks economy to them it is time the Democrats stopped their extravagance. The Hughes smile is beginning to attract favorable attention. President Entertains Five Progressives. - Headline. Others he simply amuses. Democratic papers chide Hughes because he says he is "100% a candidate." The Wilson papers naturally prefer a fifty-dity candidate. The president says he has no interest in any political party "except as an instrument of achievement." If that's it then how did he happen to select such a poor instrument as the Democratic party? Carmanza isn't a candidate for president of the United States, but he did more for American preparedness in three weeks than Woodrow Wilson did in three years. Another, thing you never hear of since the Democrats reduced the cost of living is the "maker's dozen." Mr. Hughes is criticised for his frequent use of the word "now." Evidently his imminenceism is worrying the watchful waiters, who put things off until tomorrow. Families living in the rural districts where mail service has been curtailed will be interested in knowing that Postmaster General Burleson has sent Secretary McAdoo a check for $5,000, representing surplus postal revenues. Mr. Gardner should not quote what Mr. Wilson said while president of Princeton. His utterances are outlawed by himself in seven days. That man Hughes is causing the Democratic newspapers an endless amount of worry. Apparently they will never be satisfied until he turns the management of his campaign over to them. Mr. Hughes speeches are giving poor satisfaction to the democratic press, which proves they are very good speeches indeed. Secretary Baker is developing an agility in changing his mind that must endear him to his discoverer. Mr. Wilson's administration must confess itself incompetent in one respect or the other. It either has appropriated for an unmoved navy or it has neglected a needed navy. It can select its fault to suit itself. In one respect or the other it must be wrong. "I believe in intelligence in politics just as much as in anything else," says Mr. Hughes. Efficiency is an excellent watchword, and its use in the campaise is merely a governor of its use in the White House when he gets there. First they said that Hughes was an lover; now they are saying that he is a mind sinner. He cannot possibly be both and, as a matter of fact, is neither. The Democrat must feel in a mighty bad way when they cry out "mud and treason." When Mr. Wilson forgets him- self he admits that we have been at war. For example, on May 11, 1814, in an address over the dead marine at the navy in Brooklyn, he said that the mariner had been awarded in a war of service." A war of service to whom or to what?

THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. The National Baptist Convention, in session at Savannah, Georgia, last week transacted its business on schedule time and surprised even its friends by the size of the attendance, and the leading divines who came forward to uphold the original organization. Dr. C. T. WALKEN, easily the leading pulpit orator in this country among the Baptists of the U. S., is imported to have seconded the re-nomination of President E. C. MOZKIS. He had been prominently mentioned as a probable successor of this distinguished chairman. Another surprising happening was the apparent change of front on the instances are dented the right to depart of that brilliant young divine, copy the property undisturbed that Ruy, Du, S. A. Mokes, pastor of the we have purchased. Riv. Du. S. A. Moyes, pastor of the High Street Baptist Church of Danville, Va. He was expected to go westward, but instead, landed in Savannah. Riv. Du. WALLEH H. Brooks also was in Savannah, and his influence was felt there, while Riv. Du. W. Husser Johnson was said to have been active in the work there. What does all of this mean? Are we to have harmony in the future or are we to have a repetition of the disgraceful publications which have tried the souls of the very class? We have indulged in the hope that the two wings, whether one of them be large and the other small would come we have purchased. We labor at minimum wages and we are not permitted to spend the money secured by this labor with the same freedom that a white man spends his allowance from the same source. Still, we work on uncommon plainingly, and the white folks in every way possible and come to their relief whenever we are called Some day and somehow, God, in His own time and His own way, will make the rough ways smooth and the crooked ways straight. We hope, then, He will forgive those who have multiplied our sorrows and increased our troubles. Let us have peace the Master, RAY E. F. JONES, D.

MR. LEEKY AND THE RACE QUESTION. Knowing H.N. Robert Lloyd, Jr. we do and with the knowledge of the duties to belong to the trap who would make the Negro the burden of a talking horse for the recruiting of some political advantage or special favor at the hands of the Negro batting elements of this State. in a law which was made some of the white and black methods of attaching them over the shoulders of the State Commissioner of labor who would be liable to be used for any such purpose. Mr. Locky extracts from a law which related only to the attempt of any one to demand person, either white or colored by placing them in a certain situation with employees who would load them from the paths of restraint. The relationship would necessarily be established in order to permit the person in question to live without work, and was never intended to apply to employing establishments which enabled persons to pursue the paths of restraint by enabling them to live by work. There can be no surprise them, that the legal fraternity was amused at Mr. Locky's unfortunate quotation from the law. Some of our citizens have too far backward, so to speak, in attempting to reach a given object or to accomplish a specified purpose. White and colored people have been living and working side by side ever since the foundation of the government. Tens of thousands of the best white men in this country have even sucked at the breasts of their black mammies and no thought of vicious tendencies as a result of it has been entertained. White children have romped and played with their black companions and have slept in the same beds with them. Certainly, it is not necessary to cite these facts for a gentleman of Ms. Lucky's type to be enlightened. He either personally knows this to be true or he has received the information from sources, which he would hardly dare question. Then why attempt to embarrass one of the best officials in the State by queries with which he has absolutely nothing to do, and for which the law, which he is sworn to maintain and support, does not recognize? Colored people are working side by side today with some of the best white ladies in this Southland, and they are, aiding and supporting in their business some of the best white men in this same section that the sun ever shone upon. Mr. LECKY, we are being shoved back far enough now, without having an issue of this kind brought to the front. There are people here, foreigners, who do not understand your argument and who are not in possession of the facts relative to the conditions of the past. Why injure us by stirring up ill-feeling in a discussion of this kind? We pay taxes and but few, of us are permitted to vote. We buy property, and in many THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE ANTICS OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. That the Health Department oto- pus of the country has extended its scope and practices beyond the point of human endurance and toleration has been apparent for some time, but it remained for the patriotic citizens of Oyster Bay, New York, to make a practical demonstration of that fact. It showed that theory had so far overridden common sense and common doctrine that it was time to call the participants in the outreaches "medical beneficiaries." These starting boundaries in the newspapers to arouse the fears of the people and to make them susceptible to the influence of these men who demanded large appropriations from the municipalities and from private donors in order to curtail themselves were instigated by these dealers in human misery. The family doctor was invariably overridden and his recommendations counted and cast aside, while these theorists who know little along the lines of practical experience were deformed. There are tens of thousands of medical men earning a livelihood by hard work and by the use of proper judgment, who are made subservient to this authority and who must obey its will. The highest aim of the medical fraternity is to relieve suffering, to effect a cure and to do all in his power to prevent a repetition of the ailments which they have treated. But we intended to refer specifically to the disclosures made by the Citizens' Committee of Oyster Bay, and it is an interesting statement of facts. Children had been rushed to isolation houses and shut up when they were suffering only with summer complaint or teething. The family physician could have attended to this. He had no "say-so" in the matter. The all-powerful health department was supreme. In one case, a boy with a cast in his eye, and who was born with it, was said to be suffering with infantile paralysis. In another case, it took three physicians to diagnose that a child was suffering with the toothache. When the Town Board of Health lifted the quarantine over the protests of the health officials, Con. Benay M. Brusir, chiefman of the Citizens' Committee remarked: "We have finally got the authorities back to a common horse sense view of the situation" (01, that we could get the authorities here to take the same view of the situation). A HOG AND A NEGRO. The following news item appeared in the Richmond Virginian of September 14, 1916: "Charged with cruelly beating a boy belonging to W.W. Tyler, J. M. Gannett, a Henrico County farmer, will be given a hearing Saturday morning." It will be observed that in this case the officers did not arrest the hog on the owner of the hog, but they are rested the man alleged to have cruelly beaten the animal. On Saturday night, September 2, 1916, a citizen, who has been mustered into the service of the city as an officer of the law, cruelly beat a two-legged animal. He even sat upon the animal that he had beaten and the treatment was so brutal that even the white citizens in the neighborhood were disguised. One of them, in writing about the affair, stated: "All yesterday there was a large pool of blood in the ditch on the side of the road which was noted by many who were out that way, and most of them inquired if some one had been killed. The blows delivered by the policeman on the head of the man could be heard a block away." The name of this two-legged animal who was so cruelly beaten was WILLIAM SETTLE, and the name of the citizen who is alleged to have cruelly beaten him is T. J. MAKKEY. As SETTLE owing to the fact that he was a human animal, could not claim protection at the hands of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, only the sympathies of the white people and the aid of the colored people could be forth-coming to him. In the case of the hog, it had no fear, of arrest for being beaten, but in the case of the Negro, instead of arresting the man who is alleged to have cruelly beaten him, the officer arrested the Negro, who was cruelly beaten. He is now in Virginia Hospital awaiting trial, after having been punished. If the policeman is to punish persons whom he arrests before he takes them to court, what is the use of punishing them after they are taken there? It looks like injustice compounded. We thought of these things when we read the item about the hog, and we wondered how many of our people wished they were hogs or some other four-legged animal that can become the property of a white man and secure needed protection? AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS Professor N. W. Collier, in Noted Address, Tees Young Men of the Race to be Workers and not Shirkers—The Man Who Thinks Will Win, Declares Southern Educator—Professor Isaiah J. Whitley, Head of Mobile County Training School, Issues Fine Report—"A Review of the Awakening of Hezekiah Jones," by John E. Bruce, the Noted Journalist Mrs. Frances Kizer Horse—Noe, Bran Smith Out Appeal. Allen's National News Bureau-447 Broad Avenue. New York City, Sept. 11. — Professor N. W. Collier, the president of The Florida Baptist Academy at Jacksonville, Florida, and one of the most progressive of the younger educators of the race, sent a strong message to the young men of the race last Sunday afternoon in a notable address before the lecture of Salem M. E. Church. Prof. Collier warned the young men of the race against mistaking the light and frivolous things of life for the real and substantial things which count. He urged the people to be workers, and not skiffers, and said that the workers were the people who made their way to the front in the world. Before he spoke there was a musical program consisting of solos and recitations. The lyricum was called to order by the president, George W. Allen, who is one of the most prominent figures in the Literary life of this city. Mr. Allen told of the pleasure in having Prof. Collier present and the great good he is doing in the section of the country where he is located. He then called to Prof. J. D. Filleen, the head of a private academy to introduce him to the audience. Prof. Collier spoke on "Possible Ities." In the course of his address he said that it was possible for an individual to make his life just what he desired to make it. He said that thought was the powerful thing in the world, and that the men who think are the men who rule the world. "I want to congratulate the young people of this church," said the speaker. "For the maintenance of such a forum as this, which is giving encouragement to independent thought. Thought rules the universe. Because of the thought of Graham Bell we have the telephone system. Because of the thought of Robert Fulton we have today the great steamboats, and it was the thought of Marceli that gave us the wonderful system of wireless telegraphy. Thought also produces efficiency, and the man who is efficient, irrespective of color, will win. I called at a great establishment in this city recently where a young colored man from my school was employed, and the head of that establishment said to me that the young man was efficient and that he had a position with the firm as long as he desired it. I want to see the young men of the two develop themselves and take their places in life. "I want to warn the young men not to be shirkers if they would succeed in life. It is the workers who accomplish the things in life that are worth while." The speaker called attention to the evils that follow in the wake of young men who drink and dissipate in general. He told young men to be true to the best ideals and to stand for a principle even in the face of death. He called attention to the lack of thrift on the part of many of the race living in the North and said that he felt at times the race in the South was making the greatest strides along this particular line. He cited several examples where the members of the race living in Jacksonville were learning the lesson of thrift and economy. Within the past year, he said, the people of that city have saved over $30,000. He made a plea for education urging the young people present to take advantage of every opportunity that made for their uplift in the world. The address of Prof. Collier was on of the most helpful heard in this city for some time, and it will do much towards them the right incentive in life. At the conclusion of the address, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, o the aytona Normal School at Daytona, Fla., and Rev. F. A. Cullon spoke in commendation of the strong message of the speaker. Prof. Collier has been the head of the Florida Baptist Academy for twenty-five years, and has seen that institution develop in to one of the strongest educational centers in the South for the education of the young folks of the race. He is active in the educational life of the South. He is a graduate of Atlanta University. PRINCIPAL ISAJAH WHITLEY Your correspondent is in receipt of the first annual report of Principal Isaiah Whitley, the founder of the Mobile Training. School at Plateau, Alabama, in the heart of the black belt of that state. The report gives a comprehensive view of what the school has done during its six years of existence, and how it has abled in bringing about a better fostering environment, the races in Mobile County, where the Negroes outnumber the whites five to one. The heroes and the sayings that the principal has made in going into the section where the school is located, a section that heretofore was neglected and furnished the bulk of the crime, of the county is well brought out, and shows what a man drown on by a determination to succeed can accomplish. The school has become more than a school, it has become the community center of the county contributing to the uplift of the older people as well as the young. Some of the activities under the auspices of the school are fare conferences, lecture courses, and community meetings. Principal Whitley is a graduate of Solme University. He writes as follows: "In submitting this our annual report, to the Board of School Commissioners, Superintendent of Education, School Improvement Association, we hope to clearly set forth the aim of the Institution and its needs. For a number of years I have wanted to establish a Secondary Institution in this section of Alabama, which would be a mighty force and wield a great influence in the uplift and proper kind of education for the colored people in the Plateau community and throughout Southwest Alabama. "In traveling over the counties one can see vast acreages of untitled land that might be occupied by busy and prosperous farmers; green meadows and woodland that should be filled with cattle of all kinds and description, but they are bare and productive. In the cities and towns you may find hundreds of colored people who are barely eking out a living. They are the prey of the courts, disease and crime, the vices of the loan shops, the installment salesman, dives and other places of disrepute. It is barely possible that those people who fall into these conditions can be ever lured away from them, but I feel that it is the duty of the Institutions of the land to seek to obliterate these conditions which are so prevalent among our people. I feel that this can be done by making our Institution an active, vital force for all that is elevating to all of the people. They should be taught the dignity of labor, the values of cleanliness, and sanitation, the love of truth and righteousness and the comfort and beauty of country life. We believe the country boy should be taught the beauty and value of country life. He should be inspired to remain in the country, round out his school term and build good roads and everything else that would make country life happy and attractive. It is the purpose of the Institution to teach these virtues to its pupils and through its extension work, carry this gospel to its patrons and friends throughout the district." The school is now making an effort to rebuild the centre plant that was destroyed by fire in 1915. It is one of the schools in the South that is filling a long felt need in the section where it is located. A REVIEW OF "THE AWAKENING OF HEZEKIAH JONES." One of the most gripping and interesting novels that has appeared this year from the pen of a journalist of the race is "The Awakening of Hezekiah Jones," by John Edward Bruce, known to the press crowd as Bruno Grilt. It is one of the most entertaining, as well as instructive, products that has appeared this year, and works out a moral lesson that ought to give the Negro greater strength in the political life of the nation. The story is a political one, and concerns itself with some of the problems and rewards that the Negro is meeting with in this country, and how it is possible to win recognition and power. The hero of the story of Hezekiah Jones, a colored politician, who immigrated from the South to an Eastern state. The town contained 35,000 inhabitants, 2,000 of them being colored people. Hezekiah, who lived in the town for some time, was a leader among his race, and had won the esteem and confidence of the white politicians of the town. He was invited to all of the conferences, and was the guest at dinner at one time at the home of the Chairman of the Republican committee, where three other members of the committee were present. Hesekiah is pictured as the most educated of the colored population, and as the result he is landed by and felt proud of by the colored group who looked to him for advice and guidance on the problems that affected them. The whole story deals with Hesekiah fighting with the party for recognition on the part of the Negro as a just reward for his faithful services and duty in the ranks. The vexing problems that the Negro must encounter before recognition comes are graphically pictured by the writer, and through it all Hesekiah is made the central figure, meeting the Jesse bravely, and making his first point upon the ground of principles and not favors.

OUR NEW HOME THROWSER WANTS TO LUMBER UP A LITTLE HAROLOD ALL RIGHT GO AHEAD HE'S CLEVER ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT SAY- YOULL HAVE TO GET A FATTER FELLAH TO THROW AT— I MISS HIM EVERY TIME SATURDAY... SEPT. 16, 1916 FROM NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. Washington, D. C. Sept—"The irony of fate was never so apparent as in the workings of the Democratic party. Had any one been found so bold as to have ventured a prophecy that the time would come when the Union soldier would see the entire government which he saved, under full control of the States which attempted to destroy it, he would have been regarded a candidate for the asylum," declared Representative Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the Publicity Committee of the National Republican Congressional Committee in a statement here today. "That time is now reached. The South rides at the head of the procession. The President and his family are Southern in birth and sympathies. "His Cabinet is also Southern, the five controlling heads are from States that have less than one-fifth of the population and bear less than one-half of the taxation." "The Senate in leadership and working committees is Southern. The House from Speaker to Doorkeeper is Southern. Seventeen out of eighteen great committees are headed by Southern men, as follows: "Ways and Means, Kitchen, North Carolina. "Appropriations, Fitzgerald, New York. "Banking and Currency; Glass, Virginia. "Judiciary, Webb, North Carolina. "Interstate and Foreign Commerce, Adamson, Georgia. "Rivers and Harbors, Sparkman, Florida. "Merchant Marine, Alexander, Mis- court. "Agriculture Lever, South Carolina. "Foreign Affairs, Flood, Virginia. "Military Affairs, Hay, Virginia. "Naval Affairs, Padgett, Tennessee. "Post Offices, Moon, Tennessee. "Indiana, Stephens, Texas. "Insular Affairs, Jones, Virginia. "Railways and Canals, Dias, Texas. "Public Bulking, Clark, Florida. "Roads, Shackleford, Missouri. "Rules, Henry, Texas. "Here are 18 committees whose heads represent 9 States—1 Northern and 8 Southern. Of these the Ways and Means, Judiciary, Banking Currency, Interstate and Foreign Commerce, Foreign Affairs, Merchant Marine, Insular Affairs, and Rules all have to do with governmental attitude on questions of policy; in a word, their function is policy determining. The heads of these come from Southern States—North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. These States determine the Government's attitude in Policy. "On the other hand, the Appropriations, Military Affairs, Naval Affairs Post Mice, Public Buildings, Agriculture, and Rivers and Harbors have to do with not only policy but appropriations of public money; very largely the latter function. All these except the first is controlled, by the South. The other large committees are more generally administrative. "It will thus be noticed that what the country's policy will be, as outlined by the Sixty-fourth Congress will depend upon the influence of the Chairman, not one single one of whom comes from a State north of the Ohio River line. The Committee on Appropriations is not a policy-deter mining committee. If it be our naval policy, the chairman is from Tennessee. If it be our military policy our chairman is from Virginia. If it be our foreign policy our chairman is from Virginia. If it be our insular policy, touching the Philippines, our chairman is from Virginia. If it be our interstate or foreign commerce, he is from Georgia. If it be our immigration policy, he is from Alabama. If it be our merchant marine, he is from Missouri. If it be our roads, he is from Missouri. If it be on railways and canals, he is from Texas. "An analysis of the situation of the 'South in the saddle' is interesting. The eight Southern States here enumerated which have charge of these important matters contain: "First. In population, both white and colored, less than 200,000,000, according to the census of 1910, which is about one-fifth of the country's Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers "Second. In wealth they have than $25,000,000,000, or about seventh of the country's wealth. "Third. In representation in House 97 members. "It will be noticed that the State of Virginia controls four committees of the most significant possibilities—This State, with a population in 1910 of 2,062,000, and wealth in 1912 of $2,890,000,000, with 10 Representatives upon the floor of the House, has four times the importance in this Congress; if chairmanships have any meaning, than all the New England States, the Middle Atlantic States, the East and West States, the North Central States, and the Mountain and Pacific States combined, with a population in 1910 of 60,000,000 and wealth in 1912 amounting to nearly $148,000,000,000. This State, with 10 Representatives, by virtue of the organization of the Sixty-fourth Congress, exerts more influence—four time over if chairmanships of committees have any significance—than all of New England, with 32 Representatives: New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, with 90 Representatives; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with 86 Representatives; Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, with 41 Representatives; and all the States west of the Rocky Mountains; making a total of 31 States with 282 Representatives. "These same States will cast in 1916 in the Electrical College, 344 votes, or 75 more votes than are necessary to elect a President. It will be noted how these important committees are assigned: To Virginia, 4; to Texas, 3; to Tennessee, 2; North Carolina, 2; Missouri, 2; Florida, 2; Georgia, 1; South Carolina, 1. These 18 committees, including the Rufes Committee, except 1. go to $ Southern States. Of the remaining 39 less important committees, the chairmen of 23 go to Southern States. This leaves 16 Committees, not including the Appropriations, for the rest of the country. "The revenues of the eight Southern States that control 17 committees amounted in the fiscal year of 1913 according to the Government reports to $33,000,000. That is a trifle over one-half of the receipts in the single State of New York in the same year that amount reaching $101,000,000. The receipts of Virginia, which control four of the greatest committees are $9,330,000, while States which show receipts to the amount of $315,000,000, or thirty-five times as much, have control of no important committee. When the last Treasury report is examined with reference to the taxation for the support of the General Government, some striking facts are disclosed. The corporation and personal income taxes produced slightly over $80,000,000 revenue. Of this amount $41,000,000 was personal income and $19,000,000 form corporations. Of personal and corporation income the eight States last enumerated, controlling 18 committees, paid $4,222,444, while New York alone paid $27,653,743, or nearly seven times as much. The States of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and Illinois paid $23,565,447. The eight States that control these committees cast for President in 1912, 1,858,169 votes, or 400,000 votes less than were cast in the two States of Ohio and Pennsylvania, and only 270,000 more than were cast the same year in the State of New York. "Sectional in policy the Underwood Bill removed duties from twenty products of the north, corn, oats, wheat, wood, meats dairy products, hay, potato, and etc. Left jutles on southern products, rice, cotton, tobacco, and angora goat hair. *Reports increase revenues decrease.

"One hundred and twenty millions spent, one hundred and twenty-eight millions less collected. "Last year four Southern States paid one million. "Last year Northern States paid forty-two millions. Under present estimates next year, all Southern States will pay 10 million, and all Northern States will pay 200 million. "Special legislation—Nitrate plant, Muscle Shoals, 20 million; Rivers and Harbors, mostly South, 43 million; Flood control, California, 5 1-2 million; North, 3 million; South, 42 million. "Rural Credit—Especially for the South, unlimited amount—24,000 new offices, mostly Southern Democrats, 46 million.

"It will be galling to the Union soldiers to know that on March 1, of this year, this Democratic House, by a vote of 74 to 58 rejected the element of loyalty as essential to collect southern claims against the government arising out of the war. A motion was then made to recommit the bill with instructions to include loyalty as essential to a claim. "This was carried by a vote of 183 to 170. Every Republican save one from Tennessee, and one from Virginia, voted for it. vEvery Southern man voted against it and a few Northern Democrats, including McCulldudy, of the 2nd District of Maine, Vote is recorded in August-Record, Page 3577, of the present session. "The Committee which has charge of these claims is under control of a member from Texas. "The South governs, appropriates and spends. "The North obeys, pays, and defends."

TALK CONCORD HUMANITY SOFT SOAP ROGERS, In New York Herald CONGRESSCLOSES ITS LONG SESSION Rush to Get Away Follows Adjournment. IMPORTANT LAWS ENACTED Besson Just Ended Drive Spending Record and Was Chiefly Concerned With National Defence. The first session of the stateforth congress came to an end on Friday. The most momentous session, any congress for a general is closed. President Wilson slammed the a misnation $200,000,000 revenue till, last of a long series of important measures which have occupied the attention of the nine months' sitting. The fall of the gavels of Vice President Marshal and Speaker Clark dissolved congress until December 4. The drop of the gavels was a signal for a general scramble to get away from Washington, and senators and representatives hurried to get into the political campaign. The session was concerned chiefly with national defence. When the gavel fell congress had directed reorganization and re-equipment of the army and navy for defence of the country at the unprecedented cost of $655,000,000 with authorizations that will in- create the total in three years to near $100,000,000. With all other expen- ditures, appropriations were brought to the grand total of $1,675,000,000, the greatest aggregate in the country's history and exceeding that for the last fiscal year by more than half a billion dollars. Expenditures, necessitated by preparations and the calling into action of military forces to meet the Merck can emergency demanded revenue legislation to the closing days of the recession. Congress responded by building the formal tax on businesses, creating an illicit tax, municipal tax and indemnity coerce taxes to reduce the burden by directing sale of FHLM, Dominium annuity bonds. Congress added a tariff commission to a minister a new uniform compensation law, a form of bankling system, a civil law law enlarged the system of self-government in the Philippines and enacted many other important laws contemplated by the administration. The session was disturbed through out by frequently recurring threats of foreign complications from the European war and imminence at one time of a diplomatic break with Germany; interference with American mails and commerce, invasion of American soil and killing of Americans by Mexican bandite, and danger of actual war with Mexico. Later in the session trouble arose in the senate over the nomination of Louis D. Brandet, M. Boston, to succeed the late Justice Lamar as a member of the supreme court. Weeks of investigation and deliberation by the judiciary committee ended in confirmation of Mr. Birthdeis by a large majority. In the week before adjournment von press was occupied with legislation which prevented a threatened nation wide railroad strike. President Wilson after futile negotiation, with office of the railroads and railroad brethroods, submitted the controversy to congress, recommending legislation to assert the strike and to prevent such compensation from arising in the future. After a week of consideration, duria in which the president visited the capital daily, conferring with a union leader, a bill was passed to establish an eight hour day as a basis for a railroad worker, the present rate for pay for ten hours' work of the railroad and the rate to be paid for work in excess of eight hours, providing an investigation by a special commission into the issue of the eight hour day on railroad revenues. --- Read at Mountain Foot The body of Wyliam Paul of Kaska, near Potterville, Pic., was found at the foot of the mountain near the place.

REPUBLICANS WIN MAINE BY 13,800 VOTE LARGEST IN HISTORY The Country Electors Decided the Result—Cities Gave Democratic Pluralities. The largest vote in the history of Maine was cast at the state election. The vote will approximate 150,000. These figures have not been approached since 1850, the year the Democrat and Greenback parties fused, when the total was 147,702. In the last presidential year, and two years ago, it fell below 142,000. The receipt of the vote from the border and a few isolated towns increased the plurality of Carl E. Milliken, Republican, for governor, over Governor Oakley C. Curtis, Democrat, to 12.5%. Indicated pluralities for the other Republican candidates were confirmed by a revision of the vote. The Republicans will have solid delegations in both branches of congress, and will easily control both houses of the legislature. Frederick Hale and former Governor Bert M. Formal, Republicans, were elected over Senator Charles P. Johnson and Kenneth C. M. Sills, dean of Rowdow college, by pluralities of 10,000 or over. The report from Laredo, Texas, said that members of the Second Battalion of the Second Maine Infantry made a two days' overland march of sixty miles to exercise the franchise. Out of a total vote of 170, Milliken received for governor 30. The country vote, as usual, controlled the election. The cities gave a total plurality of fifty-one for Governor Curtis, as against a total of 5,000 received by him two years ago. By a vote of about four to one, the voters approved the state law limiting the employment of women and children to fifty-four hours a week. The congressmen, who, two years ago, cast 18,226 votes, returned largely to the Republican party in the opinion of Republican leaders. The closest fight was for congress from the second district, where Representatives Daniel J. McGillicuddy was defeated by Wallace H. White, Jr., by 60 per plurality. Governor Curtis gave out this statement: "If the Republican ticket doesn't get the plurality, Wilson is upheld." Frank J. Ham, chairman of the Republican state committee, said at Augusta: "The election is an enforcement of the clear, abwechslung campaign conducted by Republicans in this state. State issues were kept largely in the fore, but they were overshadowed by the greater issues of national import. The voters of Maine showed their support of the entire Republic an platform, state as well as national." --- Altoona Man Has John Adams' Cane Levi Knott, of Altoona, Pa. has in his possession a magnificent ivory cane which John Adams, second president of the United States, once carried.

FLEE BEFORE THE ALLIES Paris Reports a Victory Over Teutonic Forces Along a Two-Mile Front. The new offensive of the allies on the Macedonian front has resulted in the defeat of the Bulgarians, says an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Athens. The Bulgarians sustained enormous losses in a battle of thirty-six hours, the despatch says, and are beating a retreat pursued by the allies. Reports point more strongly than ever to the probability that the present thrust of the entente forces is the long expected general offensive movement Of the armies of five nations assembled on this front, reported from some sources to number 600,000 men, the British and French are known to be exorting heavy pressure, the British along the Struma front, northeast of Salonika, and the French northward along the Vardar on the Serbian border. French troops also are co-operating with the British in the more easterly operation where like their allies, they have crossed the Struma, capturing the village of Yenimish on the easterly bank, within ten miles of Demir Hisar. The British have seized additional trenches across the river to the southward. West of the Vardar, near Majadak, four miles south of Glevgell, Paris reports a vigorous offensive by the French and their allies, resulting in the penetration of Bulgarian positions to a depth of nearly half a mile on a two-mile front. The artillery and infantry are also being vigorously employed further west along the front, the entire length of which now seems to be buzzing with activity. German army headquarters announce as heavy fighting along both the Stridma and the Vardar, declaring the operations in the latter region successfully to the Bulgarians. A Petrograd despatch asserts that Romanian troops advancing westward are threatening enemy forces in north-eastern Serbia. Along the Black sea coast a furious battle is raging between the Russian-Rumanian and the Bulgarian forces. The czar's troops, according to reports which reached London, have cut the Varna-Dobruja railway, while the Russian fleet is shelling Varna. On the decision of this battle in the Dobruja depends the future steps of the whole Balkan campaign. Von Mackenson's advance to Sillistria, while unimportant as a move toward Bucharest, will embarrass the allied forces operating against Bulgaria unless it is checked soon. Von Mackenson is employing the same methods he has used in the past. The capture of the Sillistria Forts followed a bombardment of a few hours by big German guns similar to those used at Liege and Verdun. DUPONTS GET BIG ORDER Millions of Pounds of Smokeless Powder for the Allies. Announcemen was made by the E.I. Dupont de Nemours & Co. that contracts had been closed in New York for large amounts of smokeless powder. The officials of the company refused to give out any figures or say who the contracts are with. It is understood, however, that the contracts are the largest received by the company for some months, totaling from 60,000,000 to 150,000,000 pounds and that it is probably for the allies. It is admitted that the contracts are large enough to keep the powder plants and the gun cotton factory at Hopwell, Va., running full capacity for some time. $2000 In Jewelry Stolen. Three young men robbed the few shy store of Mapeo Gold, 806 South Ninth street, Philadelphia, of about $2000 worth of diamonds and jewelry, which they took from the show window in full view of many per- sona passing in front of the establishment. The robbers then made their escape and the police have only a very meagre description of them. Held Up. Ship Off Menila.

P. TUMULTY Wilson's Secretary Who Denies He is to Resign. Governor Hughes visit to Detroit opened the presidential campaign of 1916, and if we may forecast the events that are to follow by the omen of Monday we would prognosticate an intensely warm, vivid and humanly interesting period in the next four months. Setting aside the complexes of meteorological conditions in this provision of the future—although they are approved by numerous professionalugue and by a host of community as well—we base this prophecy on the characteristics of the candidate whose brief stay with us has been enjoyed by all with whom he came into contact. The misguided individuals who have been expecting Charles E. Hughes would prove to be a cold proposition and therefore easy to be aor in for a check that will make them think they have been hit by an unimplicated trailery wire. There is nothing sold about Mr. Hughes, Detroit has learned. He is about as intensely human a piece of humanity as ever captured the hearts of a crowd, and the more people in the United States he meets between now and November the more votes will be given for him. As a campaigner he is a revelation. He likes his fellow bengue, and they like him because they see he likes them. And what his personality begins his remarkable powers of intellect and utterance finish. He drives his points home with tremendous force. What he says sticks. There are thousands of Americans today who can retell every step in the arguments he made eight years ago on the Bryan trust policy, yet in 1908 Mr. Hughes was not especially a prominent figure and there was no particular reason why his address more than others should have remained clearly in the memory except the gift of the man to send his own thoughts so deep into the brains of others. They are clear in his own mind first undoubtedly: He knows precisely what he wants to say because he has reasoned it out before he speaks it out. Probably that has something to do with the case with which he conveys his meaning. But it is a very rare quality he possesses in his ability to master subjects as thoroughly as to make the most abstractions simple to himself and his hearers. It is a quality eminently desirable in a political candidate. It is infinitely more to be desired in the president of a great country like the United States. Detroit's impression of Charles E. Hughes is all favorable. The thousands of people who have studied him at close range are convinced that if he is elected president next November he will be a great president, one of the greatest this nation has known, worthy to stand in history with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a coestudian of the republic's fate to whom that fate may confidently be lauded. If that conviction is shared by the people of other cities whom he is still to meet the outcome of his swing around the great American circle cannot fail to be propitious for him—Detroit Free Press.

Violation of American neutrality by a British torpedo boat, which held up and examined the Philippine steamer Cebu within the territorial waters of the Philippines was reported to the war department by Governor General Harrison. The despatch was transmitted at once to the state department and will be made the subject of a vigorous protest to Great Britain. The incident occurred on Sunday, one mile and a half off Carabon Island. According to the report of the steamers master, Lieutenant Ballos, commanding H. M. S. Destroyer No. 2, boarded the Cobu, made inquiries about her passengers and took the ship's manifest and her passenger list. Apparently the officer was searching for a man named Lady, who was not found. On releasing the Cobu, the lieutenant made this note on her log: "Boarded at 3:50 A. M., 9-11-16, ex "Boarded at 3.50 A. M. 9-11-16, examined and passed." There has been more than one complaint about the activity of the British vessels around the Philippines, and while Governor General Harrison's report furnishes the basis for a specifie protest, it is probable Great Britain will be called to restrict the operations of her patrolling squadron generally in and near the territorial waters of the island.

William Johnson, of Prospect Heights, acesuburb of Trenton, N. J. fired two bullets into his wife, Eliza beth, then turned the weapon upon himself. Mrs. Ellizabeth Shonnard, seventy years old, a neighbor, rushed to the Johnson home after the report of the pistol shots, and dropped dead from fright upon finding Mrs. Johnson prostrate. Johnson and his wife were rushed to Mercer hospital. Physicians said Mrs. Johnson had a chance for recovery. Johnson shot himself over the heart, and he is not expected to recover. Johnson emptied two chambers of his revolver into his spouse and then turned the weapon upon himself. Police officials yet are unable to unearth the motive, for the attempt murder and suicide. Mrs. Johnson was able to tell the police that she and her husband had been separated, but reunited several months ago. Returning from his employment at noon, according to the wife, Johnson partook of his meal. Later he mounted the stairs to a bedroom, when he returned he had a revolver in his hand and immediately opened fire. As the woman tapped it over, Johnson fired the bullet into his lung, intended to end his existence. Reports of the revolver were heard by Mrs. Shannard, who lives next to the Johnson.

MAY MEAN TRADE WAR Senate Amendments to Bill Almed to End British Discrimination Against American Houses. Drastic amendments to the revenue bill, striking at the added blacklist and British internecises with American mails, were adopted by the senate and created constitution among the diplomatic representatives of the alies. In allied quarters it was declared the enactment of the amendment in law would constitute nothing less than a non-intercourse act, preliminary to a commercial warfare with possible ties of far-reaching consequences. Until the retaliatory amendments became law with the president's signature, the allies technically have nothing to protest about, but there are assurances that representations will be made if the amendments stay in the bill. Inasmuch as the government has decided on a course of legislation to meet the rostrands upon commerce which diplomatic correspondence has been unable to remove, it is generally expected the amendments will be put through. The administration leaders who have intimate connection with the government's policy made no attempt to stay their adoption. One amendment authorizes the preside deat, during a war in which the United States is not engaged, to with- hold clearance from all vessels which discriminate against American ship perm; to withhold privileges from ships of such nations as withhold privi- leges accorded to other nations from American ships, and to use the army and navy, if necessary, to prevent de- porture of offending vessels from United States ports. An amendment of Senator Phelan, Democrat, of California, was adopted authorizing the president by proclamation to deny the use of the mails, express, telegraph, wireless or cable facili- ties to citizens of nations which do not accord to Americans all facilities of commerce "including the unhamp- post trade in the mails." This amendment, it was declared, was aimed particularly at British intercourse with American mails. The appointee of Senator Chambers, Democrat, of Oregon, prohibit fishing, admission, of halibut, and salmon into the United States except when in good form as American port, also yes. How To Get One. Richmond, Virginia adopted. The appointment is directed against Canada fisheries on the Pacific, and is designed to urge development of American fisheries. An agreement has been made to take a final vote on the bill before adjournment. Passage of the measure will virtually clear the way for adjournment of congress probably not later than Thursday, as it is the last of the big measures on the administration program. A appointment at six P. M. is provided for in a joint resolution already prepared by the Democratic leaders, and its presentation in the house for passage only awaits word that the Senate can finish its work by that time. Administration leaders said Senator LaFollette, Wisconsin, Republican, and Reed, Democratic, Missouri, had forced them to abandon hope of passing the Webb bill to permit American collective selling agencies in foreign countries. Senator LaFollette gave notice he would instill the bill to death. NOT ALL U-BOATS WARSHIPS American Reply Holds That Each Case Must Be Decided for itself To the proposals of the allies that neutralize accept the principle that all submarines are vessels of war, the United States has dos patched a reply, which, it is under stood, holds to the principle that the characteristics of each individual submarine must govern the case. To the contention in the allied memorandum, that it is difficult, if not impossible for warships to distinguish between armed and merchant submarines, the American reply is understood to point out that it is equally difficult to distinguish between sailing merchant vessels, which may have masked batteries.
