NET EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS The Return Trip—Soldiers' Home The White Pig and Its Owners Judge Bradley's Client—The Solution of a Puzzle It may be that I should have explained in detail about the fishing up' of the firearms at the United States Prison. The persons, who had these firearms wore the guards of the prison. Whenever they went on the inside, they would leave them with the guard on the tower. When they came out they could get them again. There are desperate criminals in this prison and they will take any chances. They could overpower one of the guards and before they could be gotten under control again some other prison guard might pay the penalty with his life. THE SOLDIERS' HOME But Chauffeur Jones soon had us in the grounds or the magnificent Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth, were we saw white and colored veterans, all on the basis of perfect equality spending the remaining days of their lives. Everything is provided for their comfort, even to theatrical plays. Yet many of them are unhappy, longing as they do for old friends and acquaintances and being unemployed. They are not allowed to have whiskey, but many of them secure it from some source and then they must be carried back to the quarters. STILL, SPEEDING We were soon speeding our way on the return trip, while Dr. Thompson's son, Soloman, kept me advised as to the speed of the machine as he peeped over and observed its movements. I was much interested in the quiet power of the Hudson super-six. It climbed the steep grades with about the same case that it did the level ones, showing that there must have been an unusual amount of surplus power. It was as the rays of the setting sun were observable that Judge I. F. Bradley told us of his white pig story. A REMARKABLE CHARACTER We had passed a tall, stout colored man on the roadway and Judie Bradley remarked that the father of the man was a peculiar character. He could do about as he pleased and no one would interfere with him. The white people did not make any effort to punish him for any of his alleged misdeeds. If any one did interfere with him or make charges against him, the person doing so would be liable to lose a valuable animal or one of his houses might go up in smoke. JUST WOULD DISAPPEAR No one could tell just who was the cause of the disaster. It would appear to be a case of just happening itself." Still if the old colored man was not interfered with, it wouldn't "happen itself." If you want anything, all you have to do is to make your wants known to this colored Kannan citizen. His usual reply was that he would bring it in a few days and in a few days he would appear with the supplies at prices below what it could be obtained elsewhere. THE WHITE PIG STORY. A man asked him if he could get him a white pig. He said he thought he could and, sure enough in a few days he brought the white pig. He was paid the price and the owner was delighted. He trained the pig to know him and to do little tricks. Another colored man, living over yonder, asked the colored man to get him a white pig. "He-readly consented, said Judge Bradley, "and thought he could have one for him in a few days. Sure, enough, in a few days he brought the white pig and the last purchaser was delighted. Things moved on smoothly, but the first purchaser'of the white pig found that there was no white pig in his pen. NEW HIS OWNER "He was much distressed. Learning that his neighbor also had a white pig, he went over to the house and told of his loss. He went to the box in which the neighbor had the pig and when the pig heard him, it jumped out of the box and came running to him. The first purchaser took the pig, and then a light cowered, in which the second purchaser got the worm of the bargain, while purchaser number one went off with the pig. chaser number one arrested and I, said Judge Iridalloy, represented purchaser number one. My client was flinched for beating purchaser number two. I had summoned the colored man who sold the pig to my client to prove ownership. The witness stated that he had sold the pig to my client. On the other hand, to my surprise, I found out that he was witness for the other side, too. He admitted that he had sold a white pig to the other man also. COULDN'T PROVE IT "There were two owners with but one white pig. I was convinced that that man had stolen the white pig and sold it to the colored man who had made the last purchase, and I said so, but I couldn't prove it. Anyway, my client kept the white pig." I had become much amused. Judge Bradley gave the names of the parties, but I purposely omitted them here. I had heard many amusing stories and here was a case that was both amusing and puzzling. Did I say puzzling? Judge Bradley did not believe it puzzling. A THRIETY MERCHANT The white pig had been stolen, to his mind, in the first instance, and all the person had to do in the second instance was to go to the last place, where he had sold the pig, steal it again and satisfy another anxious customer. We were now nearing Quindara, Kansas. A few miles more and we were at the garage, the agency for the Hudson's car, Chauffeur Jones waited awhile, swapped words with the manager, and we were soon back at Dr. S. H. Thompson's office. THE UNDERTAKER SATISFIES PATRONS Undertaker Jones had "made good." He was all smiles and his passengers were the same way. The trip had been delightfully pleasant. We vaulted it to Dr. Thomas's Hudson car and we were soon at the residence, the well known and I popular physician. Mrs. Thompson listened to my story, while I was laughingly relating the experiences of the day. I wanted to go over to Kansas City, Missouri, as I was to leave the next night for home by way of Chicago. ON A SATTERDAY NIGHT I strolled through the business thoroughfares all alone, visited the five and ten cent stores, observed all kinds of humanity surging through the aisles of this remarkable aggregation of necessary articles, and, after making some purchases, boarded the street car for the return trip, where I arrived at about ten o'clock that night. The next day was to be a strongness I was to speak at the Second Baptist Church, Rev. S W Racote, D. D. pastor; at the fulture in the afternoon, and to be ready to board the fast train at eight o'clock that night for Chicago. PULLMAN SERVICE IN MISSOURI I had been told that there was trouble some times to secure Pullman reservations at the office here. I thought I detected an air of hesitation on the part of the attendant there, but with my card presented, it all passed away, and on a train that he did not think he had a vacancy. I secured accommodation and all went well with me. JOIN MITCHELL, JR Good Work Being Done by Rev D. J. Bradford Rov. D. J. Bradford reports success in both churches of which he is pastor.

TAYLOR LAID TO REST The funeral of Thomas W. Taylor, was held Wednesday, October 25th, at Quixote Baptist Church, Rio Vista, Henrico County, of which he was a deacon. The exercises were conducted by Rev. Banks, the pastor, assisted by Rev. W. T. Johnson, Dr. B. H. Martin also paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Taylor as a citizen and Christian gentleman. He was buried with Masonic honors at Doswell, Va. in the family plot on the farm of his father, Rev. W. L. Taylor, by Henrico Lodge, No. 41, A. F. & A. M. Worshipful M. R. Minor, Master. Mr. Thomas Wingfield Taylor departed this Life Monday morning, October 23, at 1:20 o'clock, age forty years. He leaves a widow, who was Miss Mary E. Williams and two little daughters, three sisters and three brothers to mourn their loss, which we feel assured in his eternal gain. He was conscious of the end and asked his devoted family to meet him in Heaven. He was a kind and loving husband and a devoted father. Dearest husband, how we'll miss them but we came not here to stay. As He finishes our mansion. Why. He comes and takes us away. Oh! how sad I'll be without you. But the Lord will comfort me. And I'll look into the future. When dear ones with you I'll be His loving wife. MARY W TAYLOR October 25, 1916. The portals of death stand ajar, a record of the dead from Abel to this moment, would bewilder human conception. It has been appointed unto man once to die. This appointment is of God and the stroke falls alike unto all the human race. The saint and the sinner, the rich and the poor of all generations with the notable exceptions of Elijah and Enoch, have passed on through the gate of death, into the eternal world. The time came for Brother T. W. Taylor to pass through this same gate on his way to eternity and no human effort could block the passage. He had to go to judgment to stand the trial. We dismiss him not to the chamber of forgetfulness and death. What we admired, prized and generated in him can never be forgotten. We had almost said that he is now beginning to live that life of unimpaired influence, of unbound fame, of unmongled happiness, for which his talent and service was destined. Such men do not, cannot die. To be cold and breathless, to feel not and speak not is not the end of existence to the men who have breathed their spirit into the institutions of their country, who have stamped their character on the pillars of the age who have poured their hearts' blood into the channels of the public prosperity. These shall resist the empire of decay. When time is over and worlds have passed away, Cold in the dust the perished heart may be. But that which warmed it once can never die. Not days, not months, but years, our brother worked, heart and hands with us in Sunday School work; for ever ready to do that which he thought was for the interest and success of his school. Therefore we shall need not statue of marble no tablet of bronze to perpetuate his memory, for his works shall not rust upon the pages of record. Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to remove from our midst our late Brother T. W. Taylor, and Whereas, The intimate relations long held by our deceased brother with the members of this school render it proper that we should place on record our appreciation of his service as a teacher and his merit as a man, therefore be it. Resolved. By Zlion Town Sunday School that while we bow in humble submission to the will of the Most High, we do not the less mourn for our brother, who has been called from his labor to rest. Resolved. Second. That in the death of Brother T. W. Taylor, this school loses a brother who was always active and zealous in his work as a teacher, ever ready to succor the needy and distressed of the work, prompt to advance the interest of the school, devoted to its welfare and prosperity, one who was wise in his counsel and fearless in his action, a very upright man, whose virtues endeared him not only to his brethren of the school, but to all or his fellow citizens. Resolved. Third. That this school tender its heartfelt sympathy to the family and relatives of our deceased brother in their affliction. Resolved. Fourth. That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of our school and copy be sent to the family of our deceased brother. From Zion Town Sunday School. Edward Norrell. Superintendent. Mrs. Anna Carter. Secretary. The Planet can be obtained in Washington. D. C., at Drury, 1911 7th Street, N. W. Glorious Exercises Throughout the Week—Fifteenth Anniversary of Her Postor, Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, R. D. The fifteenth anniversary celebration of Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, as pastor of the First Baptist Church, began October 22, 1916, and ended October 20, 1916. During this time services were held each night except Saturday night. It is hard to tell which of these services was the best. They were all up to the high water mark.

The entire Greater Bostog, community and in fact, all New England, was shocked and grieved at the sudden parsing, Monday, at S. P. M., at the home of his sister, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, 95 Camden street, of Joshua A. Crawford, devoted husband and brother, faithful friend, Christing gontlepan and ardent and loyal race champion. Mr. Crawford (whose health has failed within the year), had been home from the Homeopathic Hospital, after having undergone treatment there for six weeks, just one week, and so greatly had his condition improved that his family even had hopes that he might get out once more. He was 44 years old, was successful in his law practice, and was so deeply entrenched in the life of Boston that the void he leaves can never be filled. All Boston mourns with the stricken young wife, who was studying law to go into practice with her husband, and with the Crawford family. The funeral will take place from 12th Baptist Church. Shawmut Avenue, Roy M. A. N. Shaw, pastor, Sunday, October 22, at noon. At this church Mr. Crawford was treasurer, deacon and superintendent of the Sunday School. The body will be in state at the church from 10 to 12, where friends may view the remains Mr. Benjamin W.

Tuesday night, October 31, the campaign to raise $10,000 for the Colored Old Folks' Home was inaugurated and endorsed by the coming together of a great crowd of Richmond's best citizens. Hits Honor, the Mayor, was introduced in very appropriate words by Col John Mitchell Jr. The Mayor heartily commended and endorsed the movement he was followed by the following divines: Rows W T Johnson, D D, R V Peyton, D D, M E, Davis, D D, Nelson Brown, B Th, and others. Mr James Frayer, the campaign manager explained that 5,000 beautiful buttons would be given in for $1.00 or more. The committee is in hope that every good citizen in our city will help push this laudable enterprise to make comfortable quarters, for our unfortunate age. Every minister is humbly asked to serve on the committee to organize teams to reach every one in the city. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Editor Sentinck : Editor Sunday An event of much importance was the 20th anniversary of the pastorate of Rev M. A. Sparks, the worthy pastor of Zion Baptist Church, near Cumnor. This church was a branch from the Mattapont church, the land upon which it has built having been donated to the colored people by Judge James M. Jeffries. Their first pastor was Rev. Beverley Sparks, the father of their present pastor, "Uncle Beverley," as he was affectionately called by the white people in the community who knew, loved and honored him, was a man of the very highest character. Born and reared at the home of Dr. Todd, he imbibed much of the noble qualities of the head and heart of that splendid man. His high ideals and lofty bearing would make its impression among men everywhere. He was incapable of anything deceptive or contemptible and he was a rigid disciplinarian. His training of his children and his congregation have borne a rich fruitage. We may never know how much we owe to him for the seed he sowed in the hearts and consciences of the colored men and women who listened attentively to his preaching in the days gone by. He was scrupulously honest and truthful, and it is but natural that his children should reflect in their lives his example. Mark Sparks has been a wonderful success in his ministry of twenty years. It can be truly said of him that he is a true disciple of his Lord. His ideals are high and his energy boundless. His heart is tender and his love for his Master and the souls of men is great. He has a stronghold on his membership and is ever leading on and upward. The occasion was marked by a crowd which taxed the capacity of the building and grounds to hold them, and by the presence of a large number of his white friends who thus testified their love and esteem. Suitable speeches were made by the Rev. Mr. Helisbeck- and Rev. W. A. Purrson, pastor, respectively of Smyrna and Matapatne churches and the following laymen also spoke in complimentary terms of praise and adoration for the pastor in his work: R. N. Pollard, E. N. Helisbeck, A. G. Gresham, L. R. Baghy and Clyde Vaughan. All of these addresses were without exception excellent. The occasion was further marked by the presentation to the pastor and his congregation of an additional lot of land which is made necessary by the vast congregations which assemble there. And let me say in closing that if all the colored preachers in Virginia were like Rev. M. A. Sparks, there would be far less race hatred and a far better feeling exalting—Southside Sentinel. --- GAVE HIM AN AUTOMOBILE. Rev Z. D. D. Lewis, D. D. was presented with a Ford automobile last Monday night at the Second Baptist Church. He was loud in his praises of his members and the Sunday School and he sympathized with the other pastors, who were not blessed with a similar gift. It is under-told that the Doctor will operate the car himself, during the time that his son is not operating it for him. WON THE CASE --- The suit of Woodall & Quarles against Roscoe C. Mitchell and W. Jerome Davis was finally settled in the Law and, Equity Court, Judge Reverly T. Crump presiding on an appeal from the decision of the Civil Justice Court Editor John Mitchell Jr., who was a witness in the case, retained the services of Attorney J. R. Pollard, Judge Turpin decided in favor of the defendants and sustained Attorney Pollard. Messrs Woodall & Quarles were not satisfied and appealed the case, asking for the submission of the case to a jury. This was granted and after he be out about five minutes, the jury brought in a verdict in favor of Mitchell and Days. OLD FOLKS HOME RALLY An early in the meeting was held last Tuesday night at the 6th Mt Zion Baptist Church. Mr. James H. Frayer introduced Rev. Dr W T John as Master of Ceremonies. The Scriptures were read by Rev M. E. Banks, D. D. Prayer was offered by Rev W W Harris. Dr H L. Harris then made a brief statement concerning the work of the Negro Baptists Old Folks Home and explained that an effort was being made to raise $1000 to enlarge the present structure and to pay off the present indebtedness. MANOR AINSLEE SPEAKS At the conclusion of his remarker Rey Dr. Johnson stated that Editor John Mitchell, Jr., would introduce His Honor George Amelia Mayer of Richmond. This was done by Editor Mitchell in a brief address. Mayer Amelia stated that he did not promise to deliver an address. He had invested gated the institution and he had decided that it was worthy of support. He expressed himself as being heartily in agreement with the movement and he desired to see the effort to raise the money a success. DR. PEYTON'S REMARKS At the conclusion of his remarks, a vote of thanks was taken and extended to him. Rev R. V. Feyton. D. D. pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church then spoke briefly in favor of the work. Mayor Almase retired, after which other speakers addressed the meeting. TO PULL DOWN THE CHURCH. The Sixth, Mt., Zion Baptist Church has decided to pull down the present structure and erect a new one to cost approximately fifty thousand dollars. It is stated that more room is needed for the steadily increasing congregation. Rev. R. V. Peyton, D. D. is pastor. SALOONS GONE The malaquia went out of existence in the State of Virginia at 12 o'clock last Tuesday night. Quantities of liquors of all kinds were purchased and stored away. The indications are that much of this will be used for some time in come. Card or Thanks Mrs. Mary B.

THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA The Vivintula Philharmonic Orchestra fully justified the expectation of its friends last Monday night at the City Auditorium, when its fourth and final concert was staged. The solutions were of the highest order and the ability displayed was especially pleasing. Prof. Joe Cardellino, the Conductor certainly understands his business and has succeeded in insulting in his pupils his own inherent love of the most difficult musical selection, and a desire to faithfully render them.

THOMPSON—In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Charles C. Thompson, who wrapped his mantle about him, and fell asleep in Jesus, one year ago, November 1, 1915: How mournful seems, in broken dreams, The memory of the day, When jey Death, hath sealed the breath, Of our dear Charlie's form of clay. When pale, unmoved, the face we loved, The face we thought so fair, And the hand lies cold, whose fervent hold, Once charmed away despair. Oh! there at last, Mrs's trunk past, We'll meet our loved ones more, Whose feet have trod the path to God, Not lost, but gone before. —Father, Mother and Mother SATURDAY.....NOVEMBER 4, 1916 FLORENCE.

Southern Board of Education Vote Approval of the Use in the Public Schools a Book Written By A. Negro Mr. McGraw, but the institution in the history of the South a book of political literature written by a Newbern, being based in the Nervo-public schools as a text book under the anthem of a board of education. This has given place in Memphis. Turns the second largest city in the South. The book that is being thus used to cite "Life's Demand" or "Awaccion To Law" by sultan K. Grange by an unanimous vote upon the reorganization of the Newbern department of the Mennonite Board of Education, composed wholly of Southern white men approved of the book as a supplemental reader. In keeping with this vote the Superintendent gave instructions to the eleven principal of the Nervo-public schools to present with a presentation of the book. In the course of his talk to the principal, Dr. Kittanum remarked, "I examined the book with great interest and felt us be beautiful and fearful. Let us go to the Grange. I believe that the institution will be told throughout the South." All of the principals of the Negro schools have entered heartily into the matter, and many of the teachers touched with a feeling of race pride are merely bearing in with the movement. They are glad that they can at least teach out of a book written by a Negro. They feel that the inspirational effect of this fact will be adopted. The daily newsmen of this city have taken a lively interest in the movement and as a result, efforts are being made by influential persons in various other places to have the book adopted in their schools. The presidents of several of the leading colleges of the South have decided upon the use of the book, and others have written to take the matter under adve-ment. While the book can be studied with proper effort, it also challenged the attention of the book and the faithful. A complete revolution in the life and status of the Negro race is predicted if the race at large reads, studies and follows the teachings of the book. Cristi Dabney M. Sylvester, a noted attorney of Memphis, president of the Confederate historical society, says of the teachings of the book: "It impresses me as an irrefutable appeal to the intelligent class of the race, and if it can be extensively placed in these hands—the thoughtful men and women of the age, I must produce excellent results, such as far into future generations. It is well worth the consideration of the white as well as the Negro race." Mrs. Geo. M. Matthews, one of the most widely known white women of Chicago, has expressed the option that the book is destined to change the thought of the age. The price of the book is thirty-five cents, with five cents added for expense, the marig, and at present can obtained by the author. Button E. Griggs, 549 E. Georgia Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA No natural increase in the wealth of Virginia can approach in importance and value the sixty thousand or more infants morn each year within her borders. Far-aighted men who love their State and her people and have their welfare at heart, look with interest the amazement upon the loss during the time of their birth of these precious babies, knowing that one half of this loss is unavenable. So certainly is this fact known that the civilization of a State or country may be readily determined by the infant death rate. Of the countries whose statistics are available, England has an infant death rate of 103 per 1,000 during the first year of life. This 11 about the average and has been reduced during 20 years from 161 per 1,000. Chill, which had an infant death rate of 300 twenty years ago, and has only lowered it to 285 per 1,000, heads the list on the dark side of this picture (tunnel whose rate has declined from 250 to 248 in fifteen years, as far as can be estimated by their imperfect vital statistics). stands second in this black column. New Zealand with a population of 11,000, the world in the tenth place upon her Infants and their mothers, and in what she has accomplished in saving the lives of her little ones. With an infant death rate twenty years ago of only 55 she has shown the world that even that low figure may be reduced by intelligence and care to 51 per 1,000. Is there any reason why Virginia with her splendid climate and people and with her prosperity and means should not do as well? It can be done, but the people must first learn the value of an Infant life and the means which the state and city boards of health are teaching them to employ in preserving the life of childhood. Our lawmakers, too must realize that the possibility of cutting our infant death rate in half is of itself worth many times the present cost of 21 public health work. Here are our plain facts: pathology of the infant is the statistic of Virginia children. Read them and see what they mean in the slaughter of the infant. All these facts are more fully discussed in the various bulletins of the State Board of Health any of which may be obtained for the author. I We have each year in Virginia reports of nearly 100 deaths in infants from intestinal weakness in injuries of birth and other causes prior to or to the early years of the Mass of those of course are among babies who inherit from their parents little birth which cannot give with at the greatest care the ordinal of birth and channel mode of existence. In the crowded quarters of our cities in particular, acquired and untreated disease of the parent leaves its fatal mark upon the child. Poverty an insult feet amount of nourishing food for the prospective mother, improper housing and overwork may seal the fate of the newborn infant. Put the sad feature of this mortality is that hundreds of freely formed and developed infants fall to reach the world alive entirely because the mother either dies or the child becomes placed in the house of the mother, children into the kinder of nurturing who will themselves mislead. For taught these women do not know that the little lives might have been saved by a little knowledge and skill at the care of mother. The third period, greatest during the first two years, but great for five years longer, is that the mother may think all children must pass through attacks of the various infections diseases. Statistics show that over half of the deaths from moses occurs before the second year of life, and three fourths of them before the fifth birthday. Over half of the deaths from scourlet fever occur during the first five years. Nearly half of the deaths from whooping cough occur before the second year of life, and a percent of all deaths from that disease occur before the fifth year. Styxy two percent of the diphtheria deaths are during the first five years. The greatest destroyer of all, how ever, is diarrhoea among infants under two years of age. About 1,600 deaths occur in Virginia each year from that cause, half of which could easily be prevented by proper feeding, and by the protection of the child, of the nipples, and of the food from the infection which dies carry. For the fly, it must be realized, caries germs from the children to which it has access, and from insanitary privies, or polluted soil where there are no privies at all. The lesson which we learn from those facts, is that every parent should take every possible precaution to protect the young child from the opportunity of ingesting any of these diseases. This can be done by keeping the young children from contact with others who have the various diseases, and by adopting the rule never to take a child to any place where there is sickness. Remember that if your child can pass the first year, of life the danger from measles is only half as great as before, and that after five years, the danger is very greatly reduced. The worst dangers from this disease pass before the third birthday. The very mother should learn the proper method of feeding her infant, remembering clearly that NOTHING CAN POSSibly EQUAL MOTHER'S MILK FOR THE NOURISHMENT OF A YOUNG INPANT. The baby should have all the breast-milk the mother can furatish, even if only one or two feedings a day. Next to this comes FRESH, CLEAN MILK, properly weakened ("diluted") to suit the age and direction of the child, and absolutely free from suspicion of sourness: One feeding of sour milk may cont the baby its life. There is NO THIRD CHOICE OF FOOD. None of the patent foods, no matter how extensively advertised or recommended, are safe for the mother to give her baby, unless so advised by a competent physician in order to meet unusual conditions. Teach the child to put, nothing but clean food and drink into his mouth. Especially should he be taught the danger of putting into his mouth his own dirty fingers or candy, chewing-gum, whistles, or other things that have been in the mouths of others. If your baby was born since June 14, 1912, is its birth properly recorded, as required by law. If so, you should have received within four months a birth card and a bulletin on the care of the infant. If you have not received such a card, write to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The trouble will probably be either that the doctor or midwife failed to report the birth at all, or else did not give your correct mailing address. Cards are not sent unless "YES" is given as an answer to the question whether child's parents are married. The State Board of Health will gladly send its "Baby Bulletin" to all mothers. The Children's Bureau, Washington, D.C., will send free upon request, valuable bulletins on "Infant Care" and Prenatal Care. MARKETING BY MAIL. Although the marketing of farm produce by parcel post is relatively new in the United States, it is, in fact only a special case of direct deal between a producer or parcel consumer which was formerly called parcel post marketing. Only the transportation medium is now in parcel post trading. This itself is to a certain extent paralleled by express, which has been available and has been utilized by some farmers for many years. Even with the older forms of direct dealing, in which sales are made from house to house or through farmer markets, parcel post marketing has points in common in that the actual producer of the products is known to the consumer of them, and the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the latter has a direct and potent effect on the success of the former's business. In spite of these general similarities, however, many new problems were created when the mail system was made available for transportation of relatively byky commodities all post offices and rural routes there by being made shipping agencies. This was in striking contrast to the facilities furnished by older transportation systems, which the farmer could use only by making a trip to a railroad or express office. Many of the new problems have been attacked by the Office of Markets and Rural Organization of the department, which has made in its work hundreds of commodities connected over wavings distances under different seasonal and other conditions and has studied methods of printing and packing and of transporting business. Much practical information has been gathered in this way and has been made available both to the producer and to the consumer. SHERILE LOSES HIS LIFE IN ELEVATOR C. F. Cuddy, 40 years old, a deputy sheriff of Albany, Washington County, was killed in an elevator accident at Murphy's Hotel at 2:20 A.M. today. Accompanied by A. A. McConnell, a trustee also of Albany, Cuddy arrived in Richmond Tuesday with two boys who had been sentenced to the reformatory at Laurel. He expected to return some today. When Cuddy left McConnell's room, which was on the first floor, to get to his own room on the third floor early this morning, he approached the elevator and pushed him back the bathtub, elicited him recording to the police. After entering the elevator, which was operated by D. L. Patige, colored, Cuddy noticed that it was going down, instead of up as he desired, and requested Patige to reverse the lift. As the car started to ascend, Cuddy in some manner fell against the door forcing it open, the police related, and his body was caught and frightfully crushed before the lift was stopped. His back was broken and he was otherwise injured. Cuddy was a man of powerful physical strength and love consciousness immediately. Dr. J. T. McKinney, who resides in the hotel, was summoned, and the injured man asked him a number of questions about his condition. He was especially anxious to know if he was mortally hurt. Cuddy died in a few minutes. Coroner Taylor and Detective-Sergeant Willy, after a thorough investigation, stated that they had concluded there was no necessity for an Inquest. Later in the day, however, Coroner Taylor announced that he would conduct an Inquest at 10 noon tomorrow. The body will be taken to Abingdon late today by a relative, who was not notified by wire of the accident. Cuddy is survived by K widow and one child. He was a member of Cave Lodge of Odd-Fellows, of Abingdon, who will have charge of the funeral services. —News Leader. Oct. 26, 1916. WORK AND SAVE UP PLANET SOUPONS AND GOT AN UMBRELLA OR A PHONOGRAPH—BOTH ARE GOOD. SEE ADVERTISING IN THIS ISSUE AND START TO WORK DURING MIDWEEKLY. ALL ARE WELCOME. Richmond, Va., Oct. 28. (Special)—Unless unexpected circumstances arise, Virginia's quarantine against children under 12 years of age from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be raised on November 1. This decision was announced today by health Commissioner Williams and follows an investigation of several weeks into the prevalence of infertile paralysis in the orth. The disappearance of the disease from cities and states where it was epidemic and 2 steady decrease in the number of scattered cases, since the onset of cool weather, leads the board to believe that the disease is present and that restrictions on the travel of children will not be necessary after the end of the present month. The quarantine was declared by the board on August 24 and became effective the next morning against all children under 16 years of age who, during the two weeks preceding the time they sought to enter Virginia, had been in New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Children from Virginia, sojourning in the north, were allowed to return if they remained in quarantine for two weeks. This quarantine remained unchanged until October 5th, when the age limit was lowered to 12 years. This was done because the statistics of the board showed that more than 97 per cent of the children who contracted infantile paralysis were under 12. As this was the first quarantine of its kind declared in Virginia in many years, the machinery for its enforcement had to be created. To accomplish this, Dr. B. K. Flannagan, Assistant Health Commissioner, visited the counties on the northern border of Virginia and on the Eastern Shores and procured their cooperation in patrolling the automobile routes. In addition, inspectors of the board were quietly placed at different centers of travel and the local health officers of the various counties and cities were enjoined to enforce the quarantine to the letters. Some of the railroads south from Washington also placed inspectors on the trains to examine the fields and to check the证书. Virginia officials who returned home. A system of notification was likewise established by which local health officers were informed of the arrival of Virginia children who had to remain in quarantine after reaching home. At one time, the State's inspector in Washington was turning back as many as twenty children a day. The declaration of quarantine we accompanied by a statement from the State Board of Health that Virginia was in grave danger of an outbreak of infantile paralysis and the regulations issued on the subject were coupled with directions for handling cases of the disease within the State. A further regulation forebade the opening of the public schools in Virginia with sanitary conveniences. Precautionary measures to the same general effect had been urged when the disease had first assumed epidemic form in New York To the great relief of health and thoratics, Virginia escaped serious outbreaks of the disease. Prior to August first, 95 cases had been reported for the year from the State during August. 44 cases were reported, during September 52 and during October (to the 26th) only 27 cases. The total for the year to the last week in October was 218, of which number several cases were of double fulness, 17 cases of double fulness 27 cases to October 24, although the population of that state is almost a million less than that of Virginia. In Massachusetts during the same period, the number of cases was 1,590; in New York and Pennsylvania the figures mounted still higher. "The State" said Health Commissioner Williams. "Should be profoundly grateful that it has thus far escaped the ravages of this terrible plague of childhood. Whether we shall have to fight it again next year is a question that only time will settle. If it does appear, we hope to have further information regarding it by that time and to be able to combat it more skillfully. If it does not appear, we shall have further cause to believe that we must impress this most important factor in infantile paralysis to carried from the slick and the carriers to the healthy children, the best way we know to combat it is through improved sanitation, especially in the disposal of the body wastes. The best insurance we can give Virginia against infantile paralysis is genuine beautyfulness of premises and of habits. How Indiana Supervises Lynching Indianapolis, Indiana — The Washington (Indiana) Herald said: "Many years ago the state of Indiana passed a law which operates to remove a sheriff who permits a mob to take a prisoner away from him. The removal is automatic. The burden rests with the sheriff to regain his office by a showing that he did his whole duty in defense of his prisoner. Since that time, the year 1859, there has been but one case of lynching in Indiana, in which instance a mob took a prisoner from a Sullivan prison and hanged him. But the prisoner was related as he was being brought in from Illinois and before he was placed in the jail. This case happened shortly after the passing of the law, and there has been no lynching since. Before that statute went into effect, the crime of lynching was common in Indiana. There is but one county in Southern Indiana, we believe, that has not had one of more successful appeals to lynch law. The exception is this county (Davies), and there have been some narrow escapes here, the mob having been frustrated several times by brave and resourceful sheriffs. As a matter of fact, sheriffs frequently, if not usually, either were in sympathy with the purpose of the mob or were indifferent. But they changed their attitude when the law was passed, and were of losing their offices if they fall into effect their prisoners. There is not a county in Indiana which is not good IT REALLY HAPPENED! against a mob if it is in charge of a brave sheriff who respects his oath of office." The Lynching Manis. Washington, D. C.—Another wave of lynching seems to be sweeping over the South, Negro women, children and men alike being ruthlessly laughtered to make a Southern holiday. These lynchings are probably due as much to "moonshine", whiskey and illicit distilling as to any other cause. Honorable William H. Osborn, Commissioner of Internal Revenue National Government, out in a recent report that: "Boot logging is principally carried on in States operating under local prohibition laws, and appears to be one of the hardest propositions that revenue officers are called upon to solve. This class of violators of the internal revenue law are at no time stationery, but move from place to place, offering and selling their wares. It is impossible, owing to the limited number of revenue officers in the field, to break up this practice entirely, and without the assistance of State authorities, it is believed that the conditions will grow no better. As the various States vote "dry," the operations of the bootlogger grow larger." In the report of the same Commission for 1915, he says: "The business of the moonshiner in whisky in the Southern States, from the number of illicit distilleries reported seized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, appears to be increasing." Then, after giving the names of the purchaser in connection with the capture of illicit liquor, the Commission goes on to say: "There does not appear to be any abatement respecting the illegal sale of liquor by bootleggers." Many reports are received in this bureau from the law-adding elements throughout the country, rectifying conditions as to illegal sales of liquor in the various localities by bootleggers and asking this bureau to assist them in stamping out the conditions complained of. Conditions are largely brought about by falsely enforcing the provisions of the State laws governing the manufacture and sale of liquor. "It is safe to say the lynching evil in large part grows out of this failure to enforce the laws of the country, and that when crafted with vile language, other encouragement is needed to work up a mob to "go after a bigger."

Moses carries Virginia Baptists in his vest pocket or that the sudden turn of Rev S. A. Moses back to the Morris camp signifies all Virginia Baptists "have bowed the knees to Bail." It is not true. Of course corporationists are as usual claiming everything and everybody. Claiming. They would claim the earth and a mortgage on the moon. The few Baptists who went to Savannah, by no means represent the rank and file of Virginia Baptists. We do not won. IT REALLY HAS WAS IT "PENCIL-ITIST" Rice pudding is a concoction that always tickles the palate and many are prone to throw conventions and table manners and spoons aside, in order to 'get right down to business'. It seems to taste, better when eaten out of the pan. A certain young lady, very prominent in Church, Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and dance halls, was fortunate in having some good rice pudding for dinner, not long since, and proceeded, according to custom to 'scrape the pan' and eat to 'breathe the band.' The rice pudding began to disappear down the lady's throat like hundred-served der that the larger number of young preachers in the Old State are against compulsory faction. There is absolutely no hope for the younger element of Baptists in the ranks of corporationists. Everybody who, knows is aware of the fact that Virginia soil witheased the struggle of Baptists for liberation. And just across the line, in Old Kentucky, daughter of Virginia, there is an army of Baptists who breathe the same sense of freedom. Their preachers, somewhat expressed the sentiment when they went to Kansas City, an did young men from Virginia throat to one as compared with Savannah. We lift our hat to the young giants of both Virginia and Kenyan, building them together in their campaign for righteous freedom. National Baptist Union-Refow. VIRGINIA: In the Law and Equity.

Overland Red by Harry Herbert Kalibbs Copyright, 1914, by Houghton Mifflin Co. CHAPTER XVII. In the Shadow of the Hilla. THE afternoon of the third day out from the Moonstone ranch Collie pecketed the roan pony Yuna near a water hole in the desert. After he had eaten he studied the cow in map that Overland had given him. There to the south was the desert town. He had passed that, as directed, wringing it widely. There to the cows were the hills. Somewhere around them were the hidden canyon and Overland Red. Soil and thirst from his long ride, he stretched him self for a short rest. He dizzed. Something touched his foot. It was the rhinn with which he had pocketed the pony. He meant to travel again that night. He would sleep a little while. The horse, circling the pocket, would be sure to waken him again. He slept heavily. The Yuma corn stool with rounded merrils softling the night air. The pony, faced in the direction of the distant town. She knew that another horse and rider were rounding toward her through the darkness. They were far off, but coming. For a long time she stood, stamping impatiently at intervals. Finally she grew restive. The upcoming horse had stopped. The other animal, the man, had dismounted and was coming toward her on foot. She could not see through the starlit blanket of night, but she knew. The man thing drew a little neerer. The pony swerved as if about to run, but hesitated, ears flattened, curious, half bellied. That afternoon Silent Samplers, riding along the border of the desert town, had seen a strange horse and rider far out, away from the road and evidently heading for the water hole. Saunders rode into town, borrowed a pair of fieldhouses and rode again. He at once recognized the pony as the Orion bull. But the rider? He was not so sure. He would invest in gate. The fact that he saw no glimmer of fire as he now applauded the water hole made him doubly cautious. Nearer, he crouched behind a bush. He threw a pebble at the pony. She circled the pikelet, awakening Collie, who spoke to her sleep. Samplers crept back toward his horse. He knew that voice. He would track the young rider to the gaze and bespoke to the gold. He rode back to town through the night, entered the school and knocked on a belated longer. Shivering in the morning starlight, Collie rose and saddled the pony. He rode in the general direction of the range. Suddenly the shadows of the hills pinned back. Almost instantly he faced the quick rise of the range. Out of the silence came the slithering step of some one walking in the sand. The darkness seemed to expand. Overland Red stood before him, silent, alert, anxious. "You, Chico?" he asked. "Sure. Hello, Red." "Anybody see you come across yesterday?" "Not that I know of. I kept away from the town." "Nothin'! I'm sufferin' glad to see you again. When we get on top of the hills you take the left trail and keep on down. You can't miss the canyon. I'll leave you here. I got to stay here a spell to see that bothin' else comes up but the sun this morning." "All right, Red. Your gardner down there?" "Yep. Whistle when you get up to the meadow in the canyon. Billy'll be lookin' for you." "Any trouble laterly?" "Nope. But Billy's got a hunch, though. He says he feels it in the air." When Collie arrived at the camp Overland was there waiting. Winthrop and he greeted Collie cordially. "Short cut" explained Overland, jerking his thumb over his shoulder. "No hoes trail though. Too steep." Paint dawn lights were shifting along the canyon walls, as they had breakfast. As the morning sunlight spread to their camp Collie's natural curiosity in regard to Overland's partner was satisfied. He saw a straight, slender figure in flannel shirt and khaki. The gray eyes were peculiarly keen and humorous. Winthrop was not a little like his sister Anne in poles and coloring. The hands were nervously slender and aristocratic, albeit roughened and scarred by toll. There was a suggestion of dash and go about Winthrop that appealed to Collie. "There's spare blankets in the tent, Roll in for a snooe, Collie. Billy and me'll pack your saddle and stuff up here later." "I guess I will. You might sponge Yuma's back a little. Red. She's brought me close to 200 miles in the last three days." "Sure, Be! I'll brush her teeth and mankure her toe nails if you say the word. I gucks that boss has kind of made a hit with you." Colle yawned. "Mebby. But it isn't in it with the bit she'll. make with "Sure. Hello. Rel." "Your hosa shod?" "To: all around. Why?" "Any trouble lately?" you if you try to take up her feet. She's half sister to a shot of dynamite. I'm only telling you so she won't kick your fool head off." "You talk like most a full size man," said Overland. Down at the meadow Overland looked at the colt and shook his head. "He is correct," he said succinctly. "That hoss don't welcome handlin' worth a bean." Winhrop's silence rather stirred Overland's sensitive pride in his horsemanship. "Course I broke and rode hundreds like her down in Mex. But then I was paid for doin' it. It was my business then. Now minin' and educatin' 'colle is my business, and a busted neck wouldn't help any." Windrop realized for the first time that Overland's supreme interest in life was Collie's welfare. Heretofore the paternal note had not been evident. Windrop had imagined them chums, friends, tramps together. They were more than that. Overland considered Collie an adopted son. That afternoon, toward evening, Collie arose, refreshed and eager to inspect the claim. He could hear the faint click of pick and shoved up the canyon. He stretched himself, drank from the stream and surrendered toward the meadow. He would see to his pony first. He found the house had been pitched afresh by overland when he had come for the saddle. He was returning toward camp when he heard a slight noise behind him the noise a man's boot makes stepping on a pebble that turns beneath his weight. Coffie wheeled quickly, saw nothing unusual and turned again toward the camp. Then he hesitated. He would look down the canyon. He realised that he was unarmed. Then he grew ashamed of his hostility. He picked his way down the stream. A buzzard clicked far above the cliffs. The air hummed with invisible bees in the rank wild clover. He paused past the next bend. A short distance below stood a ridiculous horse. The table was trailing. For an instant Coffie did not realize the significance of the animal waiting patiently for its elder. Then, like the flash of a speeding time, he saw it all: tony's tracks up the canyon, the rider who had undoubted seen him crossing to the water hole and who had waited until daylight to follow the trunk, who had dismounted and was probably in unnatural watching him. He summoned all his reserve courage. Turning away, he remarked, distinctly, nationally, casually "Thought I heard something. Must have been the water." He walked slowly back to the nest in the canyon wall. Stepping through it, he continued on up to stream. A few paces beyond the bench and a face appeared in the cliff rock, watching him. The watcher seemed in doubt Collie's action had been natural enough. Had he seen the horse? The hidden face grew crafty. The eyes grew cold. The watcher tapped the side of the cliff with his resolver mutt. The noise was slight, but in that place of sensitive eyes loud enough to be heard a longway up the canyon. Then it was that Collie made a courageous but terrible mistake. He heard the sound and seemed to realize that it was made intentionally—to attract his attention. Yet he was not sure. He kept on, ignoring the sound. Had he not suspected some one was in the canyon to have glimmed back would have been the most natural thing in the world. The watcher realized this. He knew that the other had heard him—suspected his presence and was making a daring bluff. "Got to stop that," muttered the watcher, and he raised his hand. The imprisoned report rolled and reeched like mountain thunder. Collette throw up his arms and lurched forward. Below in the canyon clattered the boots of the speeding horse. The Thuder still holding his six gun, muzzle up, glanced back. "I didn't care particular about gettin' him, but gettin' the kid hits the red head between the eyes. I guess I'm about even now." And Silent Saunders holstered his gun, swung out of the canyon and spurred down the mountain, not toward the desert town, but toward Gophertown, some thirty miles to the north. He had found the claim. The desert town folk he had used to good advantage. They had paid his expenses while he trailed Overland and Collie. They had even guaranteed him protection from the law, such as it was on the Molave. Overland, leaning on his shovel, drew his sleeve across his forehead. "Reckon I'll go down and wake Collie. He'll sleep his head off and feel worse in thunder." "I'll go," said Winthrop, throwing aside a pan of dirt with a fine disregard of its eventual value. "I want some tobacco anyway." "Fetch a couple of sticks of dynamite along. Billy. I'll put in one more shot for tonight." A distant, reverberating report caused the two men to jerk into attitudes of tense surprise. "What's that?" exclaimed Overland, running toward the tent. "That wasn't THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The kid. Colle's only packer a automatic and here it is. Meonetone boys ever here. Hot. Did—the li- He stepped in the tent door, grabbed up the gun and belt and ran down the canyon. Winthrop following 'breathlessly. Near the notch he paused, motioning Winthrop to one side. 'Mebby it was to draw us on. You keep there. Billy. I will poke ahead.' But Overland did not go far. He almost stumbled over the prone figure of Colle. With a cry he tore his hand-knife from his throat and plugged Y. B. B. The Impersonal Report Rolled and Re- sohed Like Mountain Thunder. the wound. "Clean through," he said, getting to his feet. "Get the whisky." "Shan't I help you carry him?" quel- ried Winthrop. Overland shook his head. "Get the whisky and get a fire goin'. I'll bring him." "Will he live?" asked Winthrop, hesitating. "I reckon not, Billy. He was plugged from behind close and clean through. Here's the shot." At the time Overland had Colleon on the blankets, bathed and bandaged the wound and watched his low pulse quicken to the stigmant that he gave him in small doses. "It's the shook as much as the wound," said Overland. "He got it close and from behind from behind, do you hear?" Whitthrop, started by the other's intensity, stammered "What shall I do? What shall I do?" Overland hit his teeth and scowled. "You will ride to town, Collie's how is here. Tame the Guzmur and burn the road for love and a doctor—not a pill doctor, but a knife man. Bring the car clean to leave to the range." Whitthrop stepped into his coat and filled a container. "If that king throws me," he began, "You get to ride. You get to, understand? I do so, we film." Down in the meadow Overland sadly died the pussy Vera, he mounted, and she had her spell of bucking now take her and take," and Overland, "After you lift the level let her eat it like you eat. I lay one like to stalk you like the horse, why, just much easily please." Two heeled ladies a wild eyed, sweat- ing pony to the left the short town at a tim. The rider led to the ground at the livey year grade and the pony's bubble. "Take me out of here," said Win three. "I love the maid." "Yes. Wonderful to hear!" Windship stood with mouth open and every story. The tapes of the big punchie were that "I danced. I wantest but every day I slept here tonight." Lana. Sunday. I were ready to leave it. "Well, the little dog does. Take care of the house. I like to be in a minute." At the station switch up water for a special one and engineer. He gave he check for the important access and would look at the stable. He was working at the damaged tire when the agent appeared. "Specials at the fun, too, we have in three minutes." Whistle peed to the engine onto. "I'll give you Skip for every minute you cut from the regular passenger schedule." He said. The engineer nodded. "Tie back on the plush and hang on," was his brief knowledge. It was dawn when the surgeon, drying his hands, came from the canyon stream to the tent. "That's about all I can do now," he said, slipping into his coat. Overland, who was sitting on a box beside the test, stood up and stretched himself. "Is he goin' to make it?" he asked. "I can't say. He is young, in good condition and strong. If you will get me some blunches I'll turn in. Call me in about two hours." Several days passed before the surgeon would express a definite opinion. Colleby lay, half checked and ghostly, in the ding interior of the tent. His eyes were wide and fixed. Overland came in. Colleby recognized him and tried to smile. Overland backed out of the tent and strode away growling. The tears were running down his unshaven cheeks. He did not return until later in the day. Then he asked the surgeon that oft repeated question. "The other shook his head. 'If there is any one that he would care to see or that would care to see him you had better write at once.'" Overland Red bowed to the doctor's opinion, but his heart was unconquerable. He wrote a long letter to his old time friend, Brand Williams, of the Moonstone ranch. The letter was curiously wounded. It did not mention Louine Lagharine nor Mrs. Stone nor the rancher. It was in the main about Maxwell and the "old days." No hint of Collie's accident was in the page until the very end. The letter concluded with: "But you needn't think you owe me anything for that. I was glad to put him to the bush because we was pals them days. Collie was abot by Sounders. The doctor says he will die most likely. He was abot in the back. It would go bad with Sounders if the Moonstone boys ever here. THE letter dispatched by Winthrop, Overland Red took course. He felt that he himself was holding Cottie's life frosting. His huge optimism would not admit that his friend could die. He was leaping back against a rock near the notch and gazing at the shining moonlight that spread across the somber canyon walls. A week had gone since he mated his letter to Brand Williams of the Moonstone, and Cottie was still alive. Slowly a shaft of moonlight drew down toward the notch, silvering its ragged edges. Lower the light and until it revealed the opening and in it the figure of a horseman. In the white light Overland could see the quilt dangling from the other's wrist. The horseman's wide belt glittered. "Brand" called Overland Red softly. The opposite wall took up the name beastitating and tossed it back. "Brand!" whispered the echoes that drifted to the darkened corners of the cliff and were lost in volceless murmurings. "Brand your own stock," came the answer, low and distinct. Overland laughed. It was their old time pua upon the foreman's name. He got to his feet and approached. "It does me good," he said, extending his hand. "How is Collie?" asked Williams, dismounting. Overland heaved a great sigh. "He's floatin' somewhere between here and the far shoal. Michele's trying to pull through. The wind's the kid don't seem to care what he's doing or L. J.

When you feel low spirit and blue, pray to God and work like the devil! The politicians are having the time of their lives. Candidates are running for office. We cannot understand why so many good Democrats in this State are retiring Trouble is for us all. The great trouble, though, is that we make trouble for ourselves. They have been charging it all to their own and whiskey. Now the se- crew is gone, but whiskey, smaller it is here. When a person is built strong, you cannot either reform him, or can him to walk upright. look after the infants, the children and the youth, and the poor people will look after themselves Some folks have "mule back" like some other folks have "paddle back." Dress and your sisters are the water words of some of these letters the colored folks "Good timers" have had all the time taken out of them by the sharpness of liquor Colored folks practice self-confidence and you will find that it will ease other people to respect you Football is now having its victims. Your folks who have been walking around, are now limping around. Some men do not seem to know just how good some other women are until they get a wife of their own You can get liquor now, but you must pay from fifty to one hundred per cent for the privilege. The aggravations of this life tend to drive one to the lunatic asylum. People with weak minds usually land there. Pennsylvania and liquor is the slogan that is carrying many a colored man away from his happy home in Virginia. --- When folks cannot get intoxicants, they will find a substitute. They say that Jamaica ginger is now in big favor in Kansas. Leaders who lead right have a hard time of it now. Leaders who lead wrong will have a hard time of it hereafter. Quarrelsome folks are an abomination, and yet, many other colored folks delight apparently in making quarrelsome colored folks quarrel. The hoodlums white elements are now after the colored people who are "pigher up," and the better class of white people are having the time of their lives in protecting this class of colored people. Every colored man who goes North makes it that much better for the colored man who remains behind. It may pay you to remain behind. If you want to make the young folks angry these days, tell them about doing, right and advise them along the paths of upright living It is easy to advise a person not to worry, but it is extremely difficult to master the process of reasoning by which this is done. Colored youngsters and colored girls, who are over-loving on the streets of the city, should learn the rules of propriety to the extent of staying at home. The street or service is being improved and conductors are being made to realize that a colored man's nickel suit is as much as a white man's five cent piece Repent the respectable people in your community, both white and colored, and the respectable people in your community, both white and colored, will respect you Colored folks are leaving for the north state, where it is claimed that they are well and better wares and better treatment. Time will prove the transforms, or falsity of these claims. PRESENT WINDSO believe that he will be rewarded and JUDGED HONOURS because that he will receive the reward of the highest glory in the life of the nation. Some of them did this work and long occupied it, but others were busy with it, and the war and that they wont. When they put it, they it down are and will of work until they work something else. That they wont do that work. A competent man who had been a reputable to warrant the imprisoner had with his "whiteness" was now with him through the arrest of Walter for writing, silent and sober with the capacity to bear that "formally A married lady wrote a letter to us describing the fact that she had a worthless husband. She seemed to forget the fact that she selected him. Some women say that they asked God for a husband. He answered some of their prayers, while some others are still waiting. Colored folks, live upright. Keep your children off the country roads and off the streets of the city after nightfall. It is so new that the work of the home is largely dis counted by the work of the street. A child will have the instructions of many years obliterated by the persuasive conduct of boon companions rushing down to the abyss of degradation and death. --- The rising generation seems to have lost sight of the Sunday Schools the Churches and the places for the improvement of the young. The dance hall, the low dives, houses of questionable resort abode poses attraction for them. A man takes the place of a husband and a woman takes the place of a wife. When they do marry, six months is a very long time for them to live together. They become ex-wives and ex-husbands. Oh, the pity or it' ```markdown ``` A police officer struck a brother officer, who was acting sergeant. He did this on the ground that the officer he struck was off duty. The ruling has been that when a colored man is arrested by an officer, whether he is off duty or on duty, he is "off duty." Peculiar conditions exist in this neighborhood, but the present case is the logical result of the methods now in vogue in the police circles. They have begun to turn upon one another. The effort of the Old Folks' Home management to raise ten thousand dollars to liquidate its indebtedness should be cordially and enthusiastically supported. MAYOR GEORGE ARN. sun's ringing words at the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church last Tuesday night will convince any one that the better class of citizens are ready to give all assistance in their power to the movement. Let our own people do their part in this great effort for a good cause. These people in charge of the affair have demonstrated that they mean well and can live up to the requirements. If the money to support the movement in forthcoming. The betting odds continue to favor Gov. Clinton. Evan Hammis for the presidency. They stand at ten to eight in his favor. According to the local press in this city, President Woodrow Wilson is as good as elected. It is virtually admitted, though, that New York and Indiana will go overwhelmingly Republican. President Wilson has done well. His fault has been his attempt to be "all things to all men." It has caused disgust, and the indications now are that he will "go down to rise go more." --- When Jasco Rociano Hesay Cusan were tendered his recognition as president and member of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Richmond, Vir- sina, the shock was felt and the col- ord people were astounded at the blow. He is a jurist of admitted greaterness and of transient power. He predeceased Jasco J. Janss Kerrn, but but a brief time before yielded up the full legal stature and now he has followed suit. Men of this type cannot be readily duplicated. He will carry with him the knowl edge that his retirement is repre- tented by all true Virgilian fraternity of polar or politic and that the hope of his admiers is that he may be brought in the country retirement be much desired. He will be the prince although he does not come to know it, and we see no reason why with him we are not interested in the care of his admiers. We have reiterated the need for proper of the legislature to take action in the better cause of white men. Frequently, this class of officers the Democratic party has been very successful in the Southern States in nominating this class of material for governors, congressmen, attorneys and the like. There are those when gentlemen of this type have the opportunity, or have nominal opportunity. We have a case of this kind in the Third Congressional Des- trict of Virginia. Henry ANNIE JACKSON MONTVILLE former Governor of Virginia, is a attorney for reelection in this district. He belongs to the best class of Virginia's citizens. He is a South- former of the old school. He is highly educated, well versed in statecraft and a pioneer of transportation fellowship. He observes both ideals and is a type of Virginiaman. We hope that every school voter in the district will give him a complimentary vote. The ticket is so arranged that this can be easily done. Under the names for congress, there being no Republcan nominee, do not scratch the name of Andrew Jackson Montvot1 Draw a line through any other, and see that the line is drawn entirely through the other name, and see to it that no line or mark is made through the name of Andrew Jackson Montvot1 It is needless to give any other instructions. The National Baptist Union Review seems to labor under the impression that the Virginia Baptists will line up with the National Baptist Convention, with which it is affiliated. We would advise it not to deceive itself in this matter. The Virginia Baptists are in favor of peace, in favor of a unification of the Baptist hosts of the country, under the old name of the National Baptist Convention. As one of these bodies is recognized in law, it is their desire that all come under the organization that is so recognized. The Virginia Baptists insist that the legally recognized National Baptist Convention shall make such advances to the other organization as may seem proper and just to a large body of people holding different ideas on certain questions. They do not believe that any punishment or retaliatory measures should be resorted to in the matter, but that everything should be done to complete this unification along the lines of justice and equity. The Virginia Baptists have decided that any individual members or churches that desire to affiliate or support either the one organization or the other shall not have his standing interfered with or displeased by any such action. The Virginia organization will "swing clear," so to speak, until such a time as the combined judgment of the State organization may decree otherwise. Both sides may have made mistakes, but these mistakes should be mutually admitted and all should decide to "let by-gones be by-gones," and march to the music of the Union. A DASTARDLY CRIME. The lynching of ANTHONY CRAWFORD a prosperous colored citizen at Abbeville, South Carolina. October 21, 1916, has attracted the attention of the colored people all over this country. It was a brutal, dastardly crime and at the time of his murder, he was in the hands of the officers of the law, who were awned to protect him. CRAWFORD had disagreed with a white man, who had not treated him right, and he was charged with cursing and abusing this white man. A mob formed and attacked him. In defending himself, he struck a white man, named M. B. CANN, on the head with a hammer. He was arrested, and another mob formed and took him out of the jail, and after carrying him near the county fair grounds, strung him up and riddled his body with bullets. If a citizen of this type, who has been adding to the material wealth of the Southland, is to be treated in this manner, what is to be done with colored citizens of the other type? We have noticed a tendency of the lower element of white people, even in this section recently, to vent their spleen upon the colored people, who have succeeded in winning the respect and esteem of the better class of white citizens. Their uneous laws have failed to check the progress of the colored people and they are resorting to lawless means to check them. We do not see any other course open than that the colored men should protect themselves. Right now, when the colored people are being offered inducements to migrate to Northern States, it is especially unfair to them, such a lawless condition should containt and with a citizen of color should be sent to the other world. Colored men enjoying the respect and esteem of the white citizens should do like the their kind and protect themselves. They must sell their lives as dearly as possible. It would have been far better for Antoine Crawford, and for the community in which he lived, if he had died on his own home. If he could have killed one or more of the mob and then vone "shoutting home to glory!" the effect would have been magical. It would have been a "last time." If vone before the outrage would have been repeated, Colored men of the South and, take a white man's chance, men Practice Drift and coin. He respectful to white people in your community, and then when the end is be sight, walk up to the counter, pass in your earthly check and put body through death's route to the region on the other side. --- OFFICER REAMS LIQUOR. Dalton, Glover S. W. Adams, who offered to sell him off up in a century ago, with soft and shot can- nels pulled down over his Glover ward went up Seventeenth street half Week's day afternoon. He saw William Henry Davis Jr. and in a confident manner asked him about crime since the minor. Young Davis told him that he knew what it could be得意. He went away to get the mark who laid it for sale. In a few minutes, he saw a small colored boy coming with the whiskey. The boy was followed by Davis. The boy offered Reams a half-plot of the land. Mollwood whiskey for fifty cents. The officer paid the money, took the whiskey and put the boy under arrest. He also arrested Davis. He charged them with selling liquor in violation of law. The boy will be released from custody and the charge will be pressed against Davis. just how they can make out a case against Davis is the question. The officer wanted liquor and he got it, but the boy, who was irresponsible sold it. It seems that the "boot-leaders" have certainly outwitted Police Officer Reams and if shrewd counsel is obtained, he will have his trouble for his paling. This emphasizes the fact so often stated in these columns that the violators of the law are quick-witted and fleet of foot. The average new policeman is no match for this class of people. The old line detectives know this and their natural shrewdness has been supplemented by years of experience. A boy sold the whiskey and a boy got the money. The man who gave the whiskey to the boy will deny doing so and it will be the case of one man's word against that of a boy. But what we are anxious to know is, who drank that half-pint of good Mellwood whiskey? It was said to be the best of that kind of liquor. How did the authorities know that it was the best if some one of them did not sample it? The officer did a good day's work and it is unfortunate that his effort is liable to go for naught on account of the skillfulness of a denizen of Seventeenth street. --- Dr. Stewart to Speak Here.

CONWAY) Hampton and Upton meet Friday November 3, in the first of the big games of 1916, each with a clean slate. Chances are that Dolon will be farther advanced, as this is concluded to be the hardest game of a difficult schedule. White Hampton quite likely had plans to be at the top of her game Thank-giving when she meets Howard. Upton, headed for the Hampton game, developed more rapidly and will certainly give the champions a hard fight. Hampton is not quite so heavy up last year, while Union is a little heavier than in 1915. This should certainly be a tough game with Hampton winner by about one touch down. Last year Union defeated St. Paul 19 to 0, this year by 21 to 0 which indicates one of two things. St. Paul is much weaker or Union is much stronger. More probably the latter is the case. Both title holder and runner up of last year had better boots to their laurels and beware of the Red and Steel. Virginia Normal with a three sound has played through a satisfactory schedule with independent teams and from now on will make it quite intersting for her scholastic opponents. Normal always develops a strong aggressive team and one quite troublesome late in the season. Generally speaking the team should be better than last year, when she held Union to a 2 to 7 score. The St Paul game of November 5 should result about as last year. A N.1 winning by about three or four touchdowns. Howard and Lincoln meet Saturday November 4, and despite all the hard luck tales coming from Howard, Lincoln will hardly do better than hold Howard to a close score. Howard is mighty hard, to beat on her own campus. Virginia Seminary and College with "Buck" Hunt coaching, ought to be a much improved team this year. If he be successful in instilling some of the old Howard "peg" and gets his team to absorb just a little of the knowledge of the game, of which he is past master, then V. S. & C. will be well up among the secondary institutions of Virginia. November 11. Howard and Union will meet in Richmond. And if Union can get through the Hampton game without too many injuries, she should be even choice. Union has a team much better than most people think, a strong line, a fast, strong versatile backfield. The writer picks Union to win by about one touchdown; something unheard of, but those things sometimes happen. Morgan College of Baltimore, Md. will meet Manassas Industrial School in Baltimore November 3. Morgan is better and M. I. S. not quite up to the form of 1915. While the back field is faster and more versatile, the line is lighter and lacks experience. M. I. S. lost five of the last year team and the recruits, while good, lack weight. Morgan should win by about two touchdowns. Storer College, Harpers Ferry, W. Va., seems on the road to retain her position at the top of the secondary institutions in these parts. Last year Storer did not lose a game, and was not scored on. So far, she has played two games, defending Armstrong Tech. 18 to 0, and Dunbar High, 6 to 0. The team is not quite so heavy as last year, but very fast and well balanced. November 3—Hampton vs. Union at Hampton; Morgan vs. M. I. S., at Baltimore. November 4—Howard vs. Lincoln at Washington. November 8—Virginia Normal vs St. Paul, at Petersburg. November 10—M. I. S. vs. Howard Prepa, at Manassas November 11—Union vs. Howard, at Richmond. M. I. S. DEFEATS ROYAL CUBS Manasseas Industrial School defeated the Royal Cubs of Washington. D. C., on Monday, October 30. M. I. S. was played to a standstill during the first half, but came back strong in the second, and largely through individual play ran away he is devoting all his energy towards the Union victory over Howard next Saturday. As he has completed his four years of service as a player he now serves as first assistant Coach under Prof. Robinson. from the visitors, winning by 30 to 6 The M. I. S. line, though outweighed by perhaps 20 pounds to the man, outplayed their opponents. The clean, hard tackling of "Little Watson, line plunging of "Pete" Watson, all round good work of Elliott, and Captain Gaines' handling of punts, who frequently ran them back from 15 to 40 yards, featured for Manassas, while the work of J. S. Harris at quarter and I. Brown at full stood out for the Cubs. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Last Friday Night, the Y. M. C. A. Literary was a live wire.

In the southern front mountains fighting goes on in spite of heavy fog and snow storms.

Survivors state the vessel was torpeded without warning in a heavy sea, and sank within ten minutes." COAL: $12.50 IN NEW YORK City Facing a Famine Due to Heavy Demand, Dealers Bay. Coincident with the unprecedented increase in the price of domestic coal to $12.50 a ton in New York, retail merchants notified the public that only conservation of the supply and limitation of deliveries to one ton a customer would avert a famine. The soaring prices are due, retailers and wholesalers agreed, to the enormous demands of manufacturing plants, which are working either full time, overtime or double time, to shortage of unskilled labor at the mines, the freight car shortage, the premature consumption of the reserve stock, and the utilization of domestic coal for manufacturing purposes. "There is no definite retail price," said Commissioner Alfred G. Rice, of the Coal Merchants' association, in a statement. "Retailers who have a reserve supply may be able to regulate prices, but these forced to buy stock at current price will have to shift the increase, whatever it may be, to the consumer." Experts, specialized speculators were cornering the market. Prices will continue to soar, they predicted, while the existing industrial conditions prevail.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR The French have maintained the important ground they won in their coup north of Verdun, the Paris war office announces. Parts of the regained territory which includes Fort Douaumont and atrotches along a front of more than four miles, at points nearly two miles inside the former German lines, were subjected to a German counter attack. The German assaults were delivered in efforts to recapture the Houdromont quarries, west of Douaumont, and the Damloup battery southeast of Vaux. The commander at Fort Dauumont is among the prisoners taken by the French, which a preliminary report placed at 3500 men. Fort Vaux is still in German hands, but the French lines run beyond it on both sides. The Germans are reported by Paris to have closed their counter attacks at Verdun following the French success in Tuesday's drive which resulted in the capture of Fort Doumenton and the advance of the French lines along a wide front. The new French positions are under German artillery fire, however. Just at the time when it looked as though von Felkenhayn and von Mackenon would soon be driving against You Wanted ere it is.

Give White South Greater Power In Greater Nation Than Before Civil War-An Issue Which Should Be Met-Reason Hughes Is Better Than Wilson. By W. E. BURGHARDT DUOBOIS. 1. RECONSTRUCTION. The history of main services to the of Reconstruction has yet to be writ ing in the Army. "T ten. What we have today are theories of reconstruction colored according to the right of suffra the birth and race of the believer. We can easily realize that we do not but nevertheless have our million congratulated slaves was whole to a small c not one easily to be settled. We will cation might even e also assume that the radical Abolition stance, in Alabama, is expected the freedmen to become time any persons "c citizens and voters and that the radical and "understanding pro-slavery folk expected them to re citizen" could be re main slaves in all but name. Colored Citizenship Gave South First Public Schools. 2. THE FREEDMEN. Manifest thieves were difficult in changing the status of the freedmen; they were beware; they were inexperienced save along certain narrow industrial lines. It was widely believed that they had little capacity as compared with other human stocks, and they had long formed in the thought of the nation and in their own thought a distinct and separate state. That there were answers and remedies to the disabilities many persons asserted. The remedy for NOBANCE was SCHOOLS. THE NEW CHOSES THEMSELVES AND THEIR FRIENDS ESTABLISHED THE FIRST REAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT THE SOUTH EVER HAD. Beyond any similar group in modern days the Colored people were eager for education and children and adults flocked to the schools. The schools, however, never were and are not today adequate for even the primary teaching of Colored people—the teaching of reading, writing and ephergy. Thus it happens that the abolishment of ignorance while it has begun is still incomplete. EXPERIENCE is a matter of time and for now fifty years the Colored people have been sharing in wider and wider areas of the organized life of the civilized nation. They are still hemmed in by law and convention that it is impossible for them to get the widest social education, but they have gotten some. Have Demonstrated Equal Capacity Where Given Chance. Their native capacity as compared with other groups is still a question in the minds of many people, but it is a different question than it used to be. There is no doubt about their ability to work as free laborers, to save and accumulate, property, to receive education in a school in higher lines, and indeed in most things where they have had a chance and been tried it is impossible to cease them the same general capacity that other human stocks have. It is only where they have not had an adequate chance that their fidelity is still believed. They are still a castle a castle partially by reason of their own filiteracy and experience as compared with the bulk of the nation, but more especially a castle because of deep-seated opinions and prejudices on the part of their fellow citizens. Five "Legal" Methods of Disfranchisement. 3. DISFRANCHISEMENT. When now, the South, finding these people could not be kept virtually as slaves and being themselves unwilling to govern by force and fraud locked about for methods of "keeping the Negro in his place" and at the same time not transgressing the law, they bit upon five expeditients. In the FIRST place they made CRIME and even petty crime like "poor larceny" in Virginia a reason for disfranchisement knowing that the poor and ignorant are especially prone to conviction for such crimes. This was a discrimination against poverty and ignorance and not PERSE against race; it could only be questioned as we question the responsibility of the State for poverty and ignorance and we do question it and we are going to question it a good deal more as we get more common sense. Property Qualifications SECONDLY, the States adopted PROPERTY QUALIFICATIONS. This was a distinct reversion to the days when property was considered a peculiar indication of virtue and ability. Today most civilized countries have done away with this qualification. Nevertheless we can easily imagine a situation where the mass of people are so poor and ignorant and the chance to accumulate property so easy for the ambitious that a property qualification is not an unfair qualification for a voter. While there may be considerable argument against it in the South, the mass of the Colored people themselves do not make a single objection against the property qualification. The payment of POLL TAXES was a THIRD method of enfranchisement and is chiefly a petty technical matter requiring the keeping of receipts for long periods of years and on the whole is unworthy of a State. The best and most defensible of the qualifications was the EDUCATION AL QUALIFICATION. If coupled with a decent school system it was fair to require that every person who wish to vote should be able to read and write. The FOURTH method is to allow certain persons to vote because they had voted previously or rendered cer- main services to the State such as serving in the Army. This was unfair to the Negroes because they had not had the right of suffrage originally and had not a chance to serve in the Army, but nevertheless it applied on the whole to a small class. This emplification might even go so far as, for instance, in Alabama, where for a limited time any persons "of good character" and "understanding the duties of a citizen" could be registered for life—a manifest sop to local prejudice and unfairness. Grandfather: Clause the Worst. 4. GRANDFATHER CLUSE THE WORLD TION. All of these distinctions, however, could have a certain defense. Even though they discriminate against the lowly, the poor, the ignorant and the careless, and although local administration could and does easily favor the white at the expense of the black, nevertheless on the face of the law the discrimination is not purely racial. Even these distinctions did not satisfy those who finally reconstitute the South and they placed upon the State statute books between the years 1880 and 1890 a qualification for the elective franchise which is without doubt the most outrages attack upon Republican government that this nation has ever seen; and it is a pointed commentary upon the peculiar dangers of not setting the Negro problem right to realize that this legislation was allowed to stand upon the statute books for nearly twenty years and in fact still stands and is being enforced because of the peculiarity of the way in which it works. The statutes to which I refer are known as the "Grandfather Cluses." The first GRANDFATHER CLAUSI appeared in the Constitution of LOU ISANA, adopted in 1898. This Claus constitution was never submitted to the people and enacted not only an edu- cal qualification and a property qualification, but in addition contained this section: The Louisiana Grandfather Clause SECTION 5. No male person who was on January 1, 1867, or at any date prior thereto, entitled to vote under the Constitution or Statute of any State of the United States, wherein he then resided in the State of such person not less than 21 years of age at the date of the adoption of this Constitution, and no male person of foreign birth, who was naturalized prior to the first day of January, 1538 shall be denied the right to register failure to possess the necessary property qualifications prescribed by this constitution: Provided, he shall have resided in this State for five years next preceding the date at which he shall apply for registration, and shall have registered in accordance with the Constitution of September 1, 1898; and no person shall be entitled to register under this section after said date. This was promptly followed by NORTH CAROLINA, whose Constitution, admitted in 1899, sold: Carolina Grandfather Clause SECTION 4. But no male person who was, on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thiefthe, entitled to vote under the laws of any State in the United States wherein he then resided, and no linear descendant of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote at any election in this State season. If failure to possess the educational qualification herein prescribed, provided he shall have registered in accordance with the terms of this section prior to December, 1908. The General Assembly shall provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote without the educational qualifications herein prescribed, and shall, on or before November 1, 1908 provide for the making of a permanent record of such registration, and all persons so registered shall forever thereafter be subject to the laws of any elections by the people in this State, unless disqualified under Section 2 of this Article: Provided, such person shall have paid his poll tax as above required. Alabama and Virginia Grandfather Clayers In 1801 ALABAMA adopted a Constitution which said: Those who have served in the army or navy of the United States or of the Confederate army in time of war, THEIR LAWFUL DENCENDANTS IN EVERY DEGREE, etc. can vote if registered prior to December 20, 1802. The Constitution of VIRGINIA in 1802 contained a curious variation of the Grandfather Clause: At such registrations every male citizen of the United States having the qualifications of age and residence required in Section 18 shall be entitled to register, if he be: FIRST. A person who, prior to the adoption of this Constitution, served in time of war in the Army or Navy of the United States, of the Confederate States or of any state of the United States or of the Confederate States; or SECOND. A son of any such person. Oklahoma and Georgia Grandfather Clayers In 1907 OKLAHOMA adopted this qualification: No person shall be registered as an elector of this State or be allowed to vote in any election herein unless he shall be able to read and write any language except English. No person must but no person who dies on Janu- ry 1, 1907 or at any time prior there- IH&. RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA CONTROL in New York Brakes Am CONTROL in New York Bureau CARRANZA (TO UNCLE SAMI: "GHDDAP") be, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at any time resided in some foreign nation and no limited descendant of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to read and write sections of such Constitution. In 1900 GEORGIA by an amendment to her Constitution required that: An elector must have served in lance or naval forces of the United States or the Confederate States of the States or a member of the FULFUL DESCENDED FROM SOME ONE WHO DID SO SERVE. Such must register before January 1, 1915. Meant Hereditary Privilege—Unreservedable. 5. SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS LEGISLATION. Thus the six clauses came upon the statute books of the leading Southern States. Several things must be noted about this legislation: FIRST—It establishes for the first time in any modern government pretending to be ruled by the people the principle of HEREDITARY PRIVILEGE. There cannot be the slightest doubt that any one but the Negro been the immediate victim of this step that the nation would have been convulsed from end to end. This shows that if of any species of deception of falsehood a grave injury to the cause of democracy can be hidden behind the excuse of racial hatred; it can be carried through practically without protest. In the SECOND place—from the peculiar nature of the legislation it is practically impossible to repeal it. The Supreme Court decided in June, 1955 that the Oklahoma Grandfather Claus was unconstitutional, but at that time there were thousands of white men exercising the right to vote for life in a registration already closed in LOUISIANA, NORTH CAROLINA, ALA BAMA, VIRGINIA, OKLAHOMA and GEORGIA. How are these men to be stricken from the rolla? They cannot be. Moreover, Louisiana, after her registration of white filibusters under the Grandfather Claus had closed, actually had the impunity to amend her Constitution and allow a further period for registration under the Claus. Understanding Clause and White Primary Disfranchise Colored 0. EFFECT OF "GRANDEFATHED CLAUSES" The result of this legislation does not show itself upon the Negro race. By legal and extra legal methods outside the working of the Grandfather Clause the Negro has been and is distressed in the State-South of Mason and Dixon line. In Louisiana, for instance, where there are over 20,000 male Negroes of voting age WHO CAN READ AND WRITE, less than 2,000 of them are registered voters; and that proportion probably holds true in most of these Southern States. This has been accomplished by legal methods which permit the local registrar to register almost any white man under the "underdemand" clause and to refuse registration to a most any Negro, we may how well educated he may be. Also, beyond there there is the extra legal method of the WHITE PRIMARY that is an arrangement on primary laws by which a single party dominates the State. Its primary function becomes the real election, and but the hands of the party managers the States put the power to determine which shall vote in the primary. This is course, outragatically illegal and soon will be declared so by the conduct at present it is a method of disfranchising even the registered Negro voters. The effect, then, of the Grandfather Clause is, as I said, not upon the Negro voter. He has been distracted by other methods. The full effect of the Grandfather Clause fails upon the Southern man, and it facts with crushing force. Effect of Grandfather Clauses Is or White South. Consider our present political campaign we hear of Mr. Hughes speaking in California, Wisconsin, Maine, and even in Tennessee; we hear of Mr Wilson speaking in New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and he might go to Kentucky, but we do not even consider of these or any other candidates speaking in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Georgia. There is no presidential campaign in those States; there can be no presidential campaign. They are as much outside Republican government in this nation as though they were separated by a Chinese wall; they are a province outside the United States they are not a part of our political machinery and yet in spite of the fa that they are thus attentily but definite and irretrievably outlawed they have a voice in the administration of our government far more potent than that of any other section of the Union. Comparisons showing this have often been made, but it will not perhaps be out of place to remind you of a few comparisons based upon the election of 1914: Southern and Northern Votes Compared. Take, for instance, the presidenti- election of 1912, and let us compare South Carolina and Mississippi, two hereditary friends. To choose he eighteen electors Massachusetts cus 488,156 votes; South Carolina cost onl- 50,348 votes, but for these $\textcircled{1}$ sinele electors to the electoral collec- This means that the South Carolina cast five votes, to the New England' one. To this we may add the followin- facts: Georgia and New Jersey each had 5 electors; Georgia cast 121,532 votes for hers; New Jersey cast 432,534 vote fooglers.

We ask in a minder how long is Republican govern- ment going to be silent about unmistakes? How long is this, the most burning question of American democracy, going to be settled alone in patriotic America? South Exercising Greater Power The Research Study Than Before the Civil War. 7. THE FUTURE. This is a situation that calls for action. I am one of those who is unwilling to grant many things of a compulsion to the present government. I believe in these unending goals, I their motives. labor law, but against all these I place the one fact that a man like President Wilson, cognazant as he must be as Southerner, of the fortunate, costly dictory, absolutely impossible political situation in the Southern United States has nevertheless remained silent, indeed broken his own promises rather than to interfere. The present political arrangement in the South cannot endure. A change must come. The South today by comming the Negro population as a basis of representation and disfranchising it as the police exercises greater political power in a greater nation than it did before the war. The question, therefore, before us is shall this be changed by quiet, reasonable thought along the lines of democratic development as shown by world history of the last hundred years, or are we going to continue to treat the so-called Negro population as alien, plow under Mr. Wilson to desigy it, keep it out, the campaign, keep it out of the newspapers and magazines and simply ride on hardlessly until we have smashed Republican government on this great rock? Arlene strongly as you will that there were hospitable difficulties in making the Negro a voter in 1855, there can be no such question today. There is absolutely no doubt that tens of them sands of 'colored people can meet any reasonable qualification for voting, such as could or ought to be applied to the white population of the United States. Let then such qualifications be made let them be applied with absolute faith to all American citizens, do away with discrimination as to race and sex and then let us start forward to a retreat democracy and not a sham democracy. I am free to say that for leadership in this direction I see much more hope in Mr. Hines than I do in the benevolate Party under Mr. Writson, and I base this hope on the works of Mr. Hughes written when he was a brother of our highest court in the deepe which directed the courage of 'original father' legislation wild and volt. Mr. Hughes' Words Which Make Him Better to Vote For Than Mr. Wilson: "We are unable to cover how many of the probabilities of the Lifted Amoundment were considered, the slightest one was afforded for laying the foundation from a period of time, and the least amount cannot be said that there was any movement in the time frame of which engaged at tribunals affecting the qualification to be which would not exist at another and different period unless the Lifted Amoundment was in view." ROANOKE NOTES Roemerie, Va. . . The Roy. George C. Taylor, D. D. of. Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church reached to a very attentive audience at the above named church, from Genesis 6:1-8. 1. And it came to pass when men began to multiply in the form of children, who were born unto them. 2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them wives of all which they choose. 3. And the Lord said My spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4. There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that where the sons of God came in and bare children to them; the same became mighty men which were of old men of renown. 5. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6. And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth and that he loved Him as a God. God's declaration of destroying man from the earth whom He had created and all creeping things and fowl of the air, for it repented Me that I have made them but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. The Rev. George C. Taylor, D. D. handled his subject under the several heads in a masterly manner, showing to his audience that the most dangerous of all evils that affect the human family is sin. Worse than any reptile, adder or serpent is sin to people in the life and worse than all chad brings disaster, shame and disgrace to society. The fall of nations has come through sin and all the disaster that comes to maple the land over from what we glean from the Bible is due to sin, directly or indirectly, since man from the first had a perfect heart. Edan's wall, he left and went according to the will and wishes of Satan. But Christ Jesus, has been calling man ever since the fall, saying, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of Me. THE STAR HAIR GROWER THE STAR HAIR GROWER A WONDERFUL, HAIR DRESSING & GROWER One Thousand Agents Wanted. Good Money made.

November 1, 1916, is the day on which the Mapp Prohibition Law will go into effect. That Law is a reversal of the attitude of the commonwealth of Virginia towards the Liquor Traffic. It dissolves. It is hoped to be for ever, the Partnership of Virginia with the Liquor Traffic, and brands the Traffic as a criminal, as the enemy both of the individual and also of society in its organized forms—the Home, the School and the Church. This great change of policy is the result of many years of labor. The wood-sowing was done with faith and prayer, although oftentimes with tears and great discouragements. But the seeds were of God's own planting and they were watered and nourished by the Divine Spirit, so that the final harvest was sure. In view of this great deliverance from the bounds of this degrading partnership, it is meet and right that our people should rejoice and be glad, and render thanks to Almighty God, and should pray that our public offipts may be given the wisdom and courage necessary for an effective enforcement of the law. In order that there may be some concert of action, the Headquarters Committee of the Anti. Saloon of Virginia hereby recommends that Sunday December 10th, be set apart by the temperance people of Virginia as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His Blessing and Guidance in the days that are post, and also as a day of Prayer for a continuation of His Blessing and Guidance in the days that are to come. It is recommended that in every Church and Sunday School services be held commemorating our deliverance as a state, and praying for our deliverance as a nation from our alliance with the Liquor Traffic. It is recommended that wherever practical it be arranged to render a special program of appropritate hymns, readings, recitations, dialogues, addresses or sermons, in towns and cities it is recommended that in addition to the services in the Sunday Schools and Churches a mass meeting be held in the afternoon which shall voice the sentiment of the community as a whole. It was the first thought of the Committee to recommend that the first Sunday in November be used for this purpose, but in view of the fact that most of the churches in the towns and cities the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is celebrated on the first Sunday in the month, and in lieu of the further fact that the ministers, and the congregations of probably one-half of the churches in the State are working with special reference to their annual meetings held in the middle and latter part of November, it was finally decided to issue the call for the second Sunday in December. It is the hope of the Committee that from one end of Virginia to the other this day will be observed, and that there will be such an expression on the part of our people that the whole Nation will see that Virginia realizes the promise of her deliverance, and that our public officials will see that the people of the Common wealth are behind them. In the enforcement of the Prohibition Law Trusting that this action will meet the approval of our people we are Your Fellow-Workers in the Master's Kingdom. J. W Hough, R. S Barbour J.

Mr. Diton will be supported by some of the best local talent of Richmond and student body. FOR HOWARD Union is now prepared for her real antagonists. After weeks of strenuous training replete with sovere sack riffles, the once eleven individuals chosen to wear the Red and Steel, have emerged a wonderful unit, poised, anti-frictional, carefully oiled, ball bearing machine; each part is in perfect condition, and on the whole speaks very favorably for the man directly responsible for its fitness, Prof. Robinson. That this same machine will work have with the respective clorons of Hampton and Howard this year is the confirmed opinion of every Uniforme. All right here lies Union's greatest bid for victory—Confidence. This has been indeed a rare gem in the Union camps in former years. Especially in the event of games against Hampton and Howard. But this year, all doubt fear and sequestration have vanished. Union has postvictime convictions of sending both Hampton and Howard down the pitfile path of defeat. This is not an hallucination, this is not over-confidence. Union has only awakened to the realization that the football material is as good as any rival, presenting, breath, speed, weight and versatility, plain that victory is hers for the making, and that she demands it. Union played Hampton on the latter's campus yesterday afternoon—Howard succumbs to her onslaught next Saturday. November 11, in Hovey Park. LEADER OF THEM ALL.

WHITMAN ENDS RACE PREMI DICE IN GUARD. Albany, Oct. 25...Discrimination against Jews is not general in the New York National Guard, but there have been isolated instances of it according to the report of Adjutant-General L. W. Stetsbury to Gov. Whitman made public today. The Adjutant General conducted an investigation following the complaint of Max J. Klein and others. The Governor has directed Mr. Stottsbury to issue an order that officers having the authority to pass upon applications for enlistment should be guided by honest judgment as to the applicants' fitness for service. The order also directs that no applicant shall be rejected because of his race or religion. No action other than the order issued will be taken. It was announced, because the organizations and individuals said to have discriminated against Jews are in the Federal service and are not in the State. Part of the Adjutant General's report read: "The evidence added before me is continued to the practices in certain organizations and it is further limited in that it relates to acts of others of subunits. In other words, the discrimination is by individuals as distinct from the result of any policy or general prevailing sentiment. "The evidence shows that several who complained of unjust treatment when they applied for entitlement were dealt with and so poken to as to afford reasonable justification on their part for the belief that their applications we regard considered favorably because of their rejection. "There are other instances in which it would appear that the complaints were unjustly sensitive and even brusely on their rejection, and there were times when these reposed in one or several have been accepted and entered the service in others." Two people who had direct relation with the enlistment of recruits have attained a distinct line of achievement. No persons holding such positions should be permitted to have anything to do with the matter of enlistment.

(New York Wall Street Journal) A few figures may help to clarify the brains of doubting Thomases" fearful of November 7. It is generally conceded that Mr. Wilson cannot be elected without New York state while Mr. Hughes may be elected without New York. Private advises are that the real doubtful state is Ohio. New York is, of course, the pivotal state. Here the friends of Brandeis are putting up the money in big leaks. The determining factor will be the upstate vote of New York, indeed to a large extent the farmer vote "Mr. Hughes has been tried in New York state and never found wanting. He was the strongest candidate that could be named in this state. He has the confidence of the people and no take eight hour a day bill or peace-at any price policy will lessen the popularity of Mr. Hughes upstate in New York. If Mr. Wilson can carry New York State against Mr. Hughes he is entitled to the election and the people are entitled to what they will get there-from. But Hughes is strong, and both Tatt and Roosevelt wore weak in New York four years ago. New York received the brunt of the attacks he helped by both Tatt and Roosevelt against big business. Of the total vote of New York state 1,587,983. Roosevelt received 390,910. Tatt, 455,428, and Wilson, 455,171; but Wilson had only 41 percent of the total vote. In the whole of New York city and Brooklyn Mr. Roosevelt received 188,866; Mr. Tatt, 126,852, and Mr. Wilson, 125,856. Throughout the country Wilson was only an 18% choice, yet he received the votes of many Republicans who treated a Roosevelt triumph and of many Republicans who believed their party needed a shake-up. The forces against him are now solidifying in New York and throughout the country. Death and disaffection must reduce his former 18 percent. Not unlike he starts with 36 percent. Deviating this by three and multiplying it by four, it is easily seen that to get a popular majority in this country Mr. Wilson must get at least four votes where he had not been. Indeed, the great mathematical talent of Wilson is that he must adapt his following to at least present to us unless he becomes an important states and wins the pivotal states. But to wlp in New York have Wilson voters must come to the polls where there were four Wilson voters before. In other words in the great pivotal state of New York, without whose vote no President was ever elected, Wilson, to who must win 25 percent. Can an arduous point out what policy what words, what notes, what people what states or districts can help his mathematical requirements? There is no evidence that in any district or doubtful state Mr. Wilson has won the odds against him. No other vote indicates it. somebody not well said that there and there as a labor vote or a equalitarian vote a Hebrew vote or a election vote in the country. Every from votes in an individual some- one with his tests and some from patriotism and every man votes in patriotism and there is no con- ference with any other voter can be cured. The people in sight to indulge in the fundamentally wrong thought that position or prospect is only alienation against Hurries is not a bad phrasemaker. His words do not bite or catch a crowd, but if all will note carefully the his reports they will see that he has received personally everywhere with confidence and what is more important he has made no mis- ture in any utterance. For mathematics the judgement the patriotism and the confidence would seem to be rightly placed on Hurries. JEALOUS MAN MURDERS TWO WERE SHOT AFTER FROLIC He Lay In Wait for Couple With Whom His Wife, Who Left Him Recently Went to Live With. Robert H. Pursel, clerk of the Danville, Pa., borough council, a member of one of the town's most prominent families, is in the Montour county jail, with a charge of murder having over him, and Mr. and Mrs. John C. Kerns, equally prominent, are dead, murdered. Insane jealousy of his wife, from whom he parted recently, and who went to live with the victims of the shooting, is said to have been the motive of the double murder. The man also tried to kill his wife, but his shot at her went wild. Mr. and Mrs. Korns, the victims; their son, Harold; Mrs. Pursel, and Clinton Jones were walking toward the Kerns home after a Halloween frolic. The metrymakers, laughing and chatting, had arrived almost at the Kerns door when Pursel sprang from behind a tree, and with the muscle of a big old fashioned revolver, not more than three feet from the breast of Mr. Kerns, fired, saying: "I'll get you first." The man fell dead into the arms of his young son. Quickly Pursel turned his weapon on Mrs. Kerns and fired again. She, too, died instantly.
