NEXT THANKSGIVING 1916 VOLUME XXXIV, NO.2 atheneur has been violated. His visitor kept moultenal tips and swallowing emotions "Madam." Able Divine Speak—Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham Here, Too—Purse Presented to Pastor—Renewed Efforta for Another Struggle. The Fifth St. Baptist Church observed the first anniversary of its ablo pastor, Rev. T. I. King D. D. by appropriate sermons, religious exercises and paying off the remainder of a mortgage indobtedness which has been hanging over the church for many years. The exercises Wednesday night were interesting and impressive. Rev. C. D. Honderson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Newport News, Va., delivered a sermon that aroused the congregation and produced a profound effect. BURNING THE MORTGAGE The presence of Rev. W. F. Graham D. D., pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia added interest to the occasion Lay member John Mitchell, Jr. was Master of Ceremonies and Brother J. W. Johnson and Rev. Cook lifted the collection. The choir rendered choice selections. When the time came for the burning of the mortgage, Rev. T. J. King, D. D. came to the lower rostrum, while the leaders of the clubs who had been successful in raising the money gathered about him. MRS MOSS: SUCCESS Mrs R W. Moss had succeeded in leading and to her was accorded the honor of applying the match to the mortgage and starting the blaze which destroyed R. Photographer G. W. Brown and his sister, Miss Brown took a flash light picture of the scene Rev. Dr Graham made a short address, after which the congregation passed out. On Thursday night, Rev A S. Thomas, D. D., was Master of Ceremonies. A GREAT EFFORT. Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., preached one of the ablest and most soul-stirring sermons ever heard in the church. He told of many incidents in connection with his pastorate and he paid a glowing tribute to the present pastor. He congratulated the church upon its success and declared that the amount raised had exceeded the amount raised by him during his pastorate for any one year, although he had raised more on one specific rally. MEMBERS JUBILANT He made an appeal for the Philadelphia Christian Review and many persons came forward and secured a copy of that journal, inspired by his enthusiastic commendation of it. The elimax of the week's exercises came last Sunday night, when a purse was presented to Dr. King by some of his admiring members. St Luke's of Baltimore Prospering. The Grand United Order of St. Luke's of Baltimore, Md. has its flag still unfurled and waving higher and higher. Sister Hannah E. Frey, Grand State Deputy of the G. U. O. St. Luke visited Tidewater last week. She is traveling for the interest of the Order. She spoke at Zion Baptist, Phoebus, Wednesday night and at Third Baptist Church, Thursday night and in Norfolk Friday. Accompanied by Dr. Lattimore, of Hampton, she visited the First Baptist Church and A. M. E. Church, Hampton. She is traveling under the leadership of the Grand Chief. $10,000 CAMPAIGN ACTIVR. The Campaign Committee of the Old Folks Home for Colored People is still active and energetic in its efforts to raise the $10,000 Fund for the Home. The friends in the community are beginning to rally to this most worthy cause, and the committee feels, that with their continued efforts, the required amount will be relied on. The Campaign Committee wishes to thank those who have so liberally contributed by sending their checks and prodges, and wishes also to state that the Board of the Old Folks Home will send each one a receipt for the amounts that they sent. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., Cummerman, Stav, M. S. Davis, D. D., Mr. James M. Prawler, Manogue. M. REV W. F. GRAHAM, D. D. OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA DR. DU BOIS HERE. The Gifted Lecturer Charms A Large Richmond Audience. A large and enthusiastic audience thronged the University Chapel at the Virginia Union University, Friday evening, November 17th. The occasion was a lecture by W. E. Burghardt DuBois, Ph. D. on the subject, "War and Projudice." The admittance fee of twenty-five cents did not deter those of our citizens who were anxious to listen to this distinguished scholar. PREJUDICE IN ALL AGES He was introduced by Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. and for nearly an hour he gave a vivid description of the REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., OF caste system and the war in Europe. His historical recital of the history of the nations now at war, together with his declaration that race prejudice has existed in all ages held the delightful audience spell-bound, only to give forth a continued applause at the conclusion of the lecture. PLACES OF INTEREST VISITED President G. W. C. Brown, President of College Chapter, No. 2 of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People presided. Dr. DuBois visited places of interest in the city Saturday morning and left at twelve o'clock via C. and O. R. R. for Norfolk, Va. NOTICE! NOTICE!

EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS VISITING NEWPORT NEWS AND CAPE CHARLES—A QUESTION OF LIQUOR. I left Richmond at 4 P. M. Tuesday, November 21, 1916, via C. & O. Railway, for Newport News, Va., en route to Cape Charles, Va. The politte parlor car porter saw me coming and he took my small satchel. I was soon seated in one of those luxurious plush seat, revolving chairs, calmly reading an afternoon paper. It was not long before the arrival of the train from the West, and a short while afterwards, I was on my way to the great ship-building city. FINE REAL ESTATE OFFICES Passing Jonosbero, I saw the automobile of Dr. Jones in the driveway of his attractive mansion. I arrived at Newport News at 5:30 P. M., and was met at the train by Messrs. T. J. Free, Phil Brown, and J. E. Bryd. We vaulted into an automobile and were soon in the real estate offices of Phil Brown. He knows how to make a display. Plants were on the table, prospective houses for prospective customers. A PAIR OF DECKS If there did not suit, he had others hardly. I met Attorney R H Prow who is also well fixed in this same building Mr J H Ridley, of the ship building plant came in. He had a pair of fine drinks, given him by his boss, who had been out hunting in Virginia and North Carolina. Then came an invitation from Dr Foreman's office. Ladies, were there anxious to meet the editor and banker. I reluctantly entered and found myself in the midst of the fair sex 72R FOREMAN'S OFFICE It may be well to state that I found Dr. Foromina bedded by them. He has one of the best contoured cushion I had ever seen in the State. The center of attention was on Nirrta X-ray machine. He raised it up to show the violet ray, which ray made enough substance transparent or rather it made the flesh transparent. Badger pressed their hands to it, while they looked through the lens and the dislocation bond was exposed, showing that while we were in life we were virtually in death. THAT VIOLET RAY. You could detect any dislocation of the joints, and any foreign substances in the flesh. I had read much about it, but I had never seen one of the machines in operation. One of the visitors suggested that a head of one of them be exposed to the X-ray, but Dr. Forrenman sniffingly suggested that this might be done the next time. He diplomatically adjusted the instrument, turned on the light again in the room, which lights had been turned off, and we all were soon standing in the hallway on the outside. ITS DEADLY CHARACTER I thought vaguely that I understood the reason. I had heard that the X-ray—the violet ray—was, in some respects, deadly, and when used too much, it had a tendency to injure the flesh. Dr. Foreman was taking no chances. He was not exposing a vital part of the human body to its remarkable powers. In some diseases, it is known to be highly beneficial. Certain kinds of cancerous growths have been checked by the powerful, subtle influence of the remarkable light. FRIENDS TO MEET ME. I was soon in Attorney Pree's office again, and Major R. H. Stewart joined us. Then we went out to Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Byrd's residence, 741 24th Street. Supper was soon served by Mr. Byrd. Col. B. F. Jackson came, and we all indulged in a conversation for some time. I learned that an arrest had been made the evening before. Two colored men came in from Baltimore. Md., bringing with them large trunk and two suit boxes. The mistake made was in shipping an bagage, where rough handling is in vogue, and not by express, where "handle with care" is the rule. THOSE WHISKEY TROUBLES Anyway, the colored man in charge telephoned to Newport News for an automobile. It came, and the trunk and satchels were loaded into it. All of this awakened suspicion, and the baggage master, who presumably had a nose and mouth for liquor, scented whiskey. He telephoned to Hampton, and when the automobile got there, officers were looking for it. To add to the troubles of the men, a fire bursted right at the spot, and the parties were prisoners. ATTORNEY NEWSOME TO DEFEND THEM Ball was fixed at $1,500. The leading figure in the whiskey tragedy owns property, and Attorney J. Thomas Nowsome virtually owns him now, for he represents the alleged culprits. Some surprise was manifested at the supply of liquor in Newport News being exhausted so soon after the enactment of the law. It costs just thirty-two cents to get a quart of liquor from Baltimore, by express, and to this must be added the price of the whiskey. I went to bed after bidding my friends good night and I slept soundly until about five o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Blyrd entered to make fire in my room. His wife was to accompany me to Cape Charles that morning. WAITING FOR THE STEAMER Arriving at Old Point we spent more than an hour. While waiting I strolled about the wharf and conversed with some of the colored slave-dores. They pointed out to me the white barge agent who had been responsible for the arrest of the colored man with the whiskey in the trunk and suitcases, the evening before. They were all of the opinion that it was none of the barge master's business. According to their way of thinking he had been unlucky offender. A GRAPE HARVEST While touching and talking, I was all about the accidental dumping of several tracks of graphite upon the wharf. The drivers stewarded and other employees had secured their fill of fuel vapors. Just then, I observed a taphole launch towing two targets. Each one had a black square mark in the centre. I remarked that a man would not stand much danger of being struck on one of those targets, four or five miles away. "They fear these targets all to piece some times, said one of them. "They do not shoot at the target," he said, "they keep them apart about the length of a boat and shoot between them. Can they hit them? I should say they can. You see that long, thing over wonder in the fort." That is a range- finder. (Continued On Fourth Page) Lincoln-Union Game Here Thursday. Lincoln's recent upheaval, involving the dismissal of her football coach as well as the pressing into service of practically an entirely new machine, has completely put her opponents at sea in judging her present strength. Moreover, with this revolution in force only one week, also effected a touchdown on Hampton's Campus and held the champions to 19-7. This looks quite desperate for Union. The Red and Steel catapult was handed a defeat of 15-6 by the Hamptonians a few weeks ago. From a comparison of the two scores, it seems evident that the Union-Lincoln battle next Thursday will be a royal one. In the last contest with Lincoln, on Thanksgiving Day two years ago, the Pennsylvanians were victorious by a 13-7 count. All indications point to the fact that a tremedous holiday crowd will witness the fight. Excursionists from Norfolk, Hampton, Petersburg and Roanoke will journey here to see the fray. Captain Puryear, of the Union bark, asserts that he never likes to mention the fact, but his cotillion must and will be vigorous over the beach from Penn's Woods. HARVARD NOV 27 1916 CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

James D. Walker, preached Sunday morning, November 19, eleven o'clock at Big Hill Baptist Church, from Acts 27:28-31, using as the base of his argument the 31st verse, "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." He made it plain to his hearers that as we have entered into the Church we must abide if we would make a safe harbor when time with us in this life is done. The voyage may be stormy, the sea may be rough, but we cannot hope to help ourselves by abandoning the ship. The only way of safety is found in abiding faith in the Captain, who keeps a strict watch over the entire crew as they call life's sea from earth to Heaven. November 19th, at eight o'clock, Rov. James D. Walker used as a text the 17th division of the Psalms, 15th verse. "As for me I will behold thee in righteousness, I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy likeness." A beautiful imagination to awake for our dead state into the likeness of Our Maker and Creator, having accepted His guidance in life and done His will. A blessed state in which to find ourselves in the waking morning when He cometh. Great Citizens' Mass Meeting, Monday, November 20th, at High Street Baptist Church, eight P. M. Some prominent white citizens were among the speakers. The program was as follows: Master of ceremonies, Rev. J. H. Burks, D. D; invocation, The Rev. W. D. Woods, D. D.; musie, The High Street Choir; remarks, "The History of Burrell's Memorial Hospital," by Dr. J. H. Roberts, President; remarks, "The Need of a Colored Hospital." Miss Virginia Thacker, Superintendent Lowis Gale Hospital; remarks, "The Health of the Whole Community." Mrs. M. M. Caldwell; address, Col. James P. Woods; remarks, Dr. L. G. Pedko, Superintendent Association of Charities; remarks, "Our Ten Days' Campaign," Rev. M. E. Davis, D. D., Campaign Manager. This meeting opens the great ten days' campaign for the Burrell Memorial Hospital, which from the manifest interest shown at the opening, will have nothing short of a wonderful success. Last Sunday night, Troy, George C. Taylor, D. D., of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church delivered a most instructive and helpful sermon to a very attentive audience, from Acts 27th chapter, dwelling on and conforming his discourse to the following from the 23rd through the 31st verse, showing the adverse conditions under which sailors are surrounded during certain seasons of the year. The purpose of those in command and charge of the prisoners enroute for Rome, together with Paul, who though bound in fetters, gave counsel as to the voyage. After much suffering and peril, by failure to heed a previous warning, Paul, the man of God, thoroughly convinced that God would take care of the ship if all on board obeyed by abiding in the ship. Even now we, who are sailing over life's sea may rest assured that except we abide in the faith and stay with the Church, we cannot be saved. The Reverend made the subject of his discourse very plain, showing the power and force of a ship, its durable construction, but with all that human mind and human skill may do the works of their hand are nothing without the Lord build the house, since every good and perfect gift cometh from God. With all of the ability of the world's finest architecture, he received his ability, knowledge and all good from God. the Giver. We feel sure all who heard this wonderful discourse went home with sufficient food for thought for another week. Gainesboro Avenue seemed to have been the scene of runaway teams this morning. A little after seven o'clock a plumbing company's team, coming down Seventh Avenue, into Gainesboro Road at the corner of the Mt. Zion A. M. B. Church, became frightened by the fixtures on the wagon jogging him. He ran down the hill, painfully hurting one man. The other was not so seriously hurt. Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers About 18:10 a team owned by the ice company of the city ran away in Gainesville Avenue near the entrance to Gilmer Avenue and smashed the front wheels of a delivery motor truck owned by the McBain Furnishing Company. The wagon was inverted, breaking the tongue. Fortunately neither of the men were hurt. Excitement prevailed for a few minutes. Mrs. Elnora T. Lewis, who spent the spring in Clarence, Pa., arrived in the city Thursday, November 16th and spent four days at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. Stanfield. She has returned to Harrisburg. Mrs. Lewis expresses herself as having spent an enjoyable time in the city, after an absence' of four or five months. She goes to her home well recommended by the Church and congregation, of which she is a strong member. Her pastor is Rev. James H. Burks, D. D., of the High Street Baptist Church, Roanoke. Mr. Robert Joffress remains quite indisposed at his home on Sixth avenue, N. W. Mr. Albert Jackson is somewhat improved on Peach Road, North. Mr. Jackson has been in several wools. Boozo is gone, perhaps there will be easier roads to travel through Virginia. FOOT-BALL! Roanoke Autocrat A. C. met Petersburg Industrial Institute at the Fair Grounds Wednesday afternoon, and before a small crowd played a good game of football by displaying a variety of puzzling plays and trick formations and a series of aerial passes, the like of which has seldom been seen here. The eleven from Petersburg Normal and Industrial Institute decisively triumphed over the Roanoke Autocrats A. C. to the tune of 26 to 0. Owing to the cold weather the football supporters around town did not feel like going out to witness the game and only a small aggregation of white and colored people braved the cold wind from the West that was constantly sweeping over the muddy field. Both teams played good ball, considering the condition of the field. The tackling was hard and usually when the man carrying the ball was cut down, it was generally from behind. Herbert Harth of the Roanoke team was the outstanding star of the game. He was, in nearly every play, amashed through the line with almost unstopable plunges, tackled hard and his punt of 65 yards was one of the longest seen here this season. Captain Charles V. Hayden and the rest of the team played a good game. Roanoke—I. Eggleton, l. e.; C Davis, l. t.; D. Hale, l. g.; Barkedale, c; Stevens, r. g.; J. Locklayer, r. t.; C. Kates, r. e.; H.

Anderson, the wife of Mr. S. R. Anderson, proprietor of the hotel, died last Friday afternoon after an illness of thirteen months. She was given the best treatment of medical skill, but she could not be cured. She leaves a loving husband and two young sons to mourn their loss. Prayer service was conducted in Salem by Rows. Johnson and Burks and her funeral and burial at Lynchburg, her home, where she was well known. She was an alumni of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Miss Rosa Jones returned to the city from Winston-Salem, N. C., where she had spent the last seven months visiting relatives and friends. Her many friends are glad to see her. Mrs. Marion Douglas, of 207 Patton avenue, N. E. was painfully hurt Wednesday when she started down a flight of steps. She stepped on a cat and fell six steps. The cat was mashed to death by its painful victim. Burrell Memorial Hospital Campaign to raise $10,000 opens November 21st and will close November 20th. Each and every one should help in this cause.

The members are found in four counties. All present enjoyed the quarterly meeting. The death claim of $25.00 was paid to Mr. Charley Jessie, of New Haven Lodge, No. 19, headquarters at Wynonna, S. C.; also the death claim at Mountain Grove, No. 17; amount, $25.00.

Wilbur, a street car conductor, who lives at 20 South Robinson Street, sustained a broken leg Thursday night, November 16, shortly before six o'clock, near Third and Main Streets, when he was hit by another Main Street car while he was in the act of fixing his own trolley. The conductor was removed to Grace Hospital. Wilbur, who is conductor on a Main Street car, got off his car and was fixing his trolley, which had slipped, when the other Main Street car closed in on him. He was knocked up against his car, breaking his leg. Why the motorman of the rear car failed to see the conductor fixing the trolley was unexplained. GENERAL MARKETS PHILADELPHIA.

The United States Steel corporation announced an increase of ten per cent in the wages of the employees of its steel and iron companies, effective De- cember 15 next. Wage and salary advances in other departments of the corporation also will be capitably adjusted. It was stat- ed. The increase affects, in all, about 200,000 employees, and probably adds nearly $2,000,000 to the corporation's pay roll. Total salaries and wages paid to the company's 191,126 employees in 1916 aggregated $170,500,561. Since that time the number of employees has increased greatly and several wage advances have been made. It is estimated the pay roll of the corporation at this time is between $198,000,000 and $260,000,000, which implies an increase of approximately $210,000 under the higher rate of pay. This is the total advance within a year. On May 1 last wages were raised ten per cent, and on February 1 an advance of about the same proportion was announced. Prior to that time the corporation had restored the salary of the house men, which had been cut 12% per cent during the big depression of 1915. The average wage or salary per employee in 1915 was $292 a day, an increase of four cents daily over the previous year. The advance to take effect next week will raise the average of wages and salaries to the highest level in the history of the corporation. in iia ies Miah iain ia ei Sel a gece ee al ee ANS wo RR sO ea Soe te etd ay ve Oe eS ere a tw oa whe OD oo en tektites! rn ee a aie rom a ° a ae 2 i ‘ 4 .

LOUIS APPEAL Great Argument-Counsel for Colored Folks Make Able Plea-The Rights of a Property Owner-The Appeal to the Supreme Court (Continued from Last Week.) Though the law itself be fair on its face and impartial in appearance, yet, if it is applied and administered by public authority with an evil eye and an unequal hand, so as practically to make unjust and illegal discriminations between persons in similar circumstances, material to their rights, the denial of equal justice in still within the prohibition of the use of the name of the person of interpretation has been sanctioned by this court in Henderson v. Mayor of New York. 92 U. S. 259; Chyng Lung v. Freeman, 92 U. S. 275; Ex parte Virginia, 100 U. S. 339; Near v. Delaware, 103 U. S. 370; and Soon吊 v. Crowley, 113 U. S. 703. "The fact of this discrimination is admitted. No reason for it is shown and the conclusion cannot be resisted, that no reason for it exists except hostility to the race and nationality to which the petitioners belong, and which in the eye of the law is justified. The discrimination is therefore legal and the public administration which enforces it is a denial of the equal protection of the laws and a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution." In Strader vn. West Virginia, (100 U. S. 303), the court had under consideration a statute of West Virginia that prohibited colored persons from serving as jurors in the courts of that State. In discussing the legality of the court, the court, among other things (commencing on p. 306), said: "It (the 14th Amendment) was designed to assure to the colored race the enjoyment of all of the civil rights that under the law are enjoyed by white persons, and to give to that race the protection of the general government, in that enjoyment, that should be enjoyed by the States. It only gave citizenship and the privileges of citizenship to persons of color but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws, and authorised Congress to enforce its provisions by appropriate legislation. * * * It ordains that no State shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. It ordains that no State shall disprove any person's property under any process of law, or deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "What is this but declaring that the law in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white, that all porsous, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and, in regard to the colored race, (for whose protection the Amendment was primarily designed), that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color? * * * "The Fourteenth Amendment makes no attempt to enumerate the rights it designs to protect. It speaks in general terms and those are an comprehensive as possible. Its language is prohibitory; but every prohibition implies the existence of rights and immunities, prominent in which an entity from inequality, of legal protection, either for life, liberty or property. Any State action that denies this immunity to a colored man is in conflict with the Constitution." In Virginia v. Rines (100 U. S. 313), the court held, that the object and purpose of Sections 1977 and 1978 of the United States Revised Statutes (the sections quoted and rolled upon in the bill filed in this case) and of the enactment of these sections, was to place the colored race on a level with the white race with respect to their civil-rights, and that these statutes made the rights and responsibilities civil and criminal, of the two races exactly the same. To the same effect was the opinion that the court in Exposition 1978 held that the rule announced in the cases from which we have just quoted shall be here applied, then these ordinances should be held void because they not only deny to complaintants, who are colored citizens, "the equal protection of the law," but because they deprive complaintants of their "without due process of law" by excluding them from the area of their compliance color. But as we now pass to another political situation, we need to inforce a police regulations We have already said that we do not question the right of States and cities to adopt and enforce. In the exercise of their police power, all such reasonable laws and ordinances as may, in the judgment of the courts, be necessary to preserve the public peace, health and morals; but where in this record is the evidence that such ordinances as these are necessary in order to preserve or promote either the morale, health, or safety of any citizen? If the need of such ordinances must of such public notions should be not proof, take judicial action on their necessity in order to prevent conflict, rioting and bloodshed between the white and colored races? And, in this connection, I ask counsel for defendant, to state when and where, in the history of this city since the days of the ennacipation, there has been collusion and conflict between the white and colored people. But my friend Orifian, who represents the defendant, reads to me the titles of these offenses and they sound so threatening and seem so full of conflict that we almost shrink as he reads. But he well knows that these offenses are not necessary in order to prevent in this city any such abuse of authority as thereby threaten Mag. And, exculte, thereby titles, here is nothing; even to aug- gest, that such ordinances are neces- sary in order to preserve, the peace, health or safety of any one. The title to the ordinance designated as "No. 1" is as follows: "An ordinance to prevent ill-feeling, conflict and collisions between the white and colored races in the city of St. Louis, and to preserve the public peace and safety of the people fare by making reasonable provisions requiring the use of separate blocks for residence by white and colored people respectively." "How will counsel assort, as a legal proposition that this Court is bound by that recital? Is this Court re- quired to find and decree that these ordinances are necessary to preserve the public peace and prevent conflict between the white and colored races, health or safety in the titles that they are intended for that purpose? If so, where do they find authority for that contention?" In the case of Yates vs. Milwaukee, from which we have already quoted, that very question was raised and discussed. The Common Council of Milwaukee was authorized by an act of the legislature to regulate and remove obstructions and prevent occlusion upon the channel of the river. In pursuance of that statute the Common Council of Milwaukee passed an ordinance declaring that a wharf owned by Yates, and extending into the river, was an obstruction and hazard. In determining the question thus presented, Mr. Justice Miller said: "The mere declaration of the city council of Milwaukee that a certain structure was an encroachment or obstruction did not make it so, nor could it be made that it a nuisance unless it in fact was done. He then added, that it was a doctrine not to be tolerated in this country that without resort to any court, in which it could be shown that a given structure was or was not a nuisance, a municipal corporation could, by its mere declaration that it was one, subject such structure to rejection, and that it was supposed to be aggrieved, even by the city itself. And in conclusion, on that point, the court said: "This would place 'every house, every business, and all the property of the city, at the uncontrolled will of the temporary local authorities. Yet this seems to have been the view taken by council who defended this statute in the 1920s, and the statute ordinance of the city, declaring the wharf of Yates a nuisance and ordering its abatement, in the only evidence in the record that it is a nuisance or an obstruction to navigation, or in any manner injurious to the public." The case of Coppage vs. Kansas (236 I. S. 1.), arose under a statute of Kansas entitled as follows: "to act provide a person with the opportunity to provide, making demands upon, or requirements of employees, servants, laborers and person asking employment." The act made it unlawful, for any employer, to require any person to enter into an agreement, either written or verbal, not to join any labor organization as a condition to receiving into it, or to joining in, any employment. Coppage was superintendent of the "Franco" lines in Kansas, and one Hedges was employed by the company, for no fixed, or agreed period, as a switchman. Coppage requested Hedges to agree to resign his membership. In the case of his remaining Union" as a condition to his resignation in the career, and as Hedges救出, he no he was discharged. Coppage was then arrested and fined in the State Court, but a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the United States was granted on the ground that the Kansas statute deputies page of that freedom to enter into, contracts that was guaranteed to him, and all other citizens, under the Fed- In support of the statute, it was argued by counsel that the State might. In the exercise of its "police power," prohibit an employer from "coercing" an employee and fasten the main purpose of the statute as shown by its title, was to prevent an employer of labor from "coercing" his certain conditions in that contention the "Now, it seems to us clear, that statutory provision which it not legitimate police regulation cannot be made such by being placed in the same act with a police regulation, or by being enacted under little that declares a purpose which would be a object for the exercise of that power. It is equally clear, we think: that to punish an employer or his agent for simply proposing certain terms of employment, under circumstances deprived of coerion, duress, or undue influence, has no reasonable relation to a declared purpose of pressing coerion, duress, or undue influence. Nor is a State by design, to "coerion" conduct which is not such in truth, render criminal any normal and essentially innocent exercise of personal liberty or, of property rights; for to permit this would deprive the Fourteenth Amendment of its effective force in this regard." So, in the case of State of the relation of Othellone vs. Leffingworth, (64 Ma., 458), with which Your Honour is familiar, it appeared that the State constitution of Missouri adopted in 1865 prohibited the legislature from creating any corporation by special act "except for municipal purposes." The legislature, later on, passed an act in which it declared that the corporation created by it was "for municipal purposes" and that it constituted the court act: "The declaration that the corporation is for municipal purposes does not make it so. * If the legislature THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA fure can do this, it is difficult to set any bounds' to their power. The constitution never contemplated such an exercise of power, but sought on the contrary to place a prohibition on it its language, fairly and properly in interpreted, does not countenance it. The ingenious arguments that have been made to sustain the validity of the act resolve themselves into plausible pretexts for violating the platinum meaning of the constitution." So, in the later case of State waived Jaloue (129 M2, 163), the court not only considered the question of whether it was bound to accept and enforce, but also the question of whether the "police power" of a State or city was paramount to the Federal Constitution. In passing on these questions the court said: "Nor can the statute escape;censure by assuming the name of a police regulation. It has none of the elective jurisdiction of a state such a regulation, for it does not in terms or by implication promote, or tend to promote the public health, welfare, comfort or safety; and if I did, the State would not be allowed under the guise and pretence of police regulation, to encoach or trample upon any of the just rights of the state with constitution intended to secure against diminution or abridgement. But, passing without further comment, the question of whether the court should not consider what is necessary and as evidence of their necessity, desert in this case the broad proposition that all State statutes and city ordinances, without regard to the purpose for which they are enacted, do so far as they conflict with the Constitution and laws of the United States. The case of Truax vs. Ralch (232 U. U., 233) arises under the jurisdiction of Arizona, which provided that not less than eighty per cent. of all persons employed by every person or corporation in that State took an elector or native born citizen of the United States. Ralch (the appellate) was an Austrian and not a qualified elector. He was employed by Truax as a cook in a restaurant, and upon the passage of the law Truax informed Ralch that, on account of its passage in his penalty imposed for its violation of the law, he charged him. Thereupon Ralch filed his bill in the District Court of the United States to which he made Truax, and the necessary county and State officials, defendants. In his bill he prayed for an injunction restraining the defendants, from enforcing the statute, around that the statute was in violation of the Federal Constitution because it denied to Ralch "the equal protection of the law." After a statement of the facts, the court reaffirmed (p. 35) its opinion in Yick Wow v. Hopkins, (118 U. S. 356) from which we have already quoted, and then continued (p. 41) as follows: "It is sought to justify this act as an exercise of the power of the States to make reasonable classifications in legislating to promote the health safety, morals and welfare of those within its jurisdiction. But this admitted authority, with the broad range of legislative discretion that it implies, does not go so far as to make possible for the States to deny to their inhabitants, because of their race or nationality, the ordinary means of a livelihood. It requires no argument to show that the right to work for a living in the common occupations of the community is of the very essence of the personal freedom and opportunity that it is the purpose of the Amendment to secure Butchers' Union Co. v. Crescent City Co. 111 U. S. 746, 762; Barber v. Connolly, 113 U. S. 72, 31; Ylew V. Hopkins, supra; Algever v. Louisiana, 165 U. S. 578, 589, 590; Coppage v. Kansas, 236 U. S. 1, 14. If this could be refused solely upon the ground of race or nationality, the prohibition of the denial to any person of the equal protection of the laws would be a barren form of words. It must also be said that reasonable classification implies action consistent with the legitimate interests of the State and, if it will not be disputed that these so broadly conceived as to bring them into hostility to exclusive Federal power." In the case of Lake Shore Rathburn Co. vs. Smith, (173 U.S.), the court was considering the constitutionality of a Michigan statute, which the defendant alleged was within the proper exercise of the police power of the State by suspending of that question the court said. "This power (the police power) must, however, be exercised in subordination to the provisions of the Federal Constitution. If in the assumed exercise of its police power the legislature fa State directly and plainly violates a provision of the Constitution of the United States such legislation would be void. In Jackson vs. Massachusetts (197 U.S.), the court, in discussing the nature of the populations" and the exercise of the power by man-made government said. It is true that the more likely local bodies called into existence for purposes of local administration with authority in some appropriate way to safeguard the public health and the public safety. The mode or manner in which these results are to be accomplished is within the discretion of the State, subject of, or concern of the Government, only to the condition that no rule prescribed by a State, nor any regulation adopted by a local government agency acting under the sanction of state legislation, shall contravene the Constitution of the United States or infringe any right granted or secured by that instrument. A local enactment or regulation, even if based on the acknowledged police powers of a State, must always yield in case of conflict with the exercise by the General government of any power it possesses and the Constitution, any right which that government gives or secures. Githona v. Odgrn, 6 Wheat, 1; Rimnot v. Davenport, 22 How, 227, 243; Missouri, Kannas 6 Texas Ry. Co. v. Habor, 169 U. S. 613, 628." So, In re Noate (39 Feb. 144), the question was, as to whether a State statute was valid that contrived a valid law of the United States. The case was, heard before two judges (Barnswy and Sathin), and in deciding the question, the court said: "The statute was valid, but the United States is the nature of things, necessarily void. It must give place to the "supreme law of the land." In the legal contemplation, there can no more be two valid laws, which are in conflict, operating upon the same subject-matter at the same time, then, in physics, two bodies can occupy the same space at the same time." And in this connection, and on this point, I beg to repeat the words of the court. In State vs. Julow, where in it was declared: "That the State will not be allowed under the gulce and pretone of a police, regulation' to encoerce or trample on any of the just rights of the citizens, which the Constitution intends to more against diminution or abridgement." And so, without further resort to court opinions in support of our contention" we will in conclusion quote the words of the Constitution itself wherein it is declared: "That this constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof and the treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judge in any case shall be the judge in anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." The point ruled in all the cases from which we have just quoted is that the Federal Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof are "the supreme law," and that no right of any citizen, white or black, that be either conferred or protected by the Federal Constitution or by a Federal statute, can impress a bridge or a state statute or city ordinance enacted under the name of a "police regulation," or under any other name or pretext whatsoever. But again, before closing, I desire to call the attention of the court to a statute of the United States which was quoted with approval by the court in Yick Woo vs. Hopkins, and which we submit is sufficient in its so-called nullity all such ordinances in these. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution declares: "That all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. The application of the amendment it is provided that Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation all the provisions of that article. In pursuance of that power, it was many years ago enacted by Congress (Sec. 1788 Rev. States U. S.) that: "All citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every State all the Time that is enforced by the citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, occupy, lease, sell, hold and convey real property." And now, if it be true that the Constitution of the United States and laws made in pursuance thereof are the supreme law of the land; if it be true that, under the Constitution, all colored persons born in the United States are to be admitted to the Section 1978 of the Revised Statutes of the United States expressly provides that all colored citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to purchase, hold, occupy and convey real property, that is enjoyed by white citizens; and if it be true, as stated by the court, in Strander v. West Virginia (100 T., 303), that the same right of all colored persons the same for the black as for the white, and that all persons, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the law," and that no discrimination shall be made against any "on account of their color"—then how can it be said that the city of St. Louis may, by such ordinances as these, be divided into "white blacks" and "blacks" to permit colored citizens to purchase and occupy real property, shall depend upon their color." We have not, in the presentation of this case, overlooked or failed to consider anything that was said by the Supreme Court in the case of McCaine et al. vs. Anderson Rc. Co. et al. (135 V. S., 151). In that case the statute of Oklahoma, which was under consideration, required all railroad companies, dealing in separate coaches for the use of the South and Negro races, which separate coaches should be equal in all points of comfort and convenience. In that case the Circuit Court of Appeals had expressed the opinion, that if the number of colored passengers to be carried was so small as to make it a burden on the railroads to provide separate coaches for their use (that should be equal in all respects), then provided for white passengers, then provided for railroad companies were not required to comply with the statute. In reply to that part of the opinion of the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court in its opinion said: "Whether or not particular faculties shall be provided may, double less, be conditioned upon there being a reasonable demand therefore, but if licitations are provided substantively equality of treatment of person traveling under like conditions can be refused. It is the individual who is required to be admitted to the laws, and if he is denied by a common carrier, acting in the matter under the authority of a State law, a facility or convenience in the course of his journey, which under substantially the same circumstances is furnished to another traveller, he may properly complain that his constitutional privilege has been invaded." Judgment in the above case (McCabe vs. The R. K. Co.) was affirmed only on a question of practice, the Supreme Court holding that complainants had not in their petition shown themselves entitled to relief in a court of equity. And, in that case, the court had nothing before it that required a discussion of any question presented under these ordinances, or that required the court to either affirm or disaffirm any of its former opinions from which we have quoted, or to express any opinion respecting the meaning of Sec. 1987 of the Revised Statutes (which was expressly passed to give the Court the seventh Amendment) and which provides "That all citizens of the United States shall have the same right to every State and Territory as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, occupy, lease, sell hold and convey real property." hold and convey real property.” The great question is: Do these constitutional provisions, these Federal statutes and court opinions already reside in a designated portion of the city, then all colored citizens may, by such ordinances as these, be excluded thereof? Will it be here contended that a “supreme law of the land” (which forbids discrimination against any citizen on account of color, under the guise of “police ordinances” filed by such city ordinance as these)? Or shall it be said that those “supreme laws” mean exactly what they say, and that all white citizens and colored citizens shall have “equal rights to own, occupy and enjoy real property” only in all the blocks of the city, in the city where the country floats and the Federal Constitution, all laws enacted in puruance thereof, are supreme? Mr. Lincoln was not a prophet, but he did understand human nature and he knew the disposition of the storms to oppress the weak; and it would seem that the very questions we are here discussing were in his mind when, in speaking in 1858 of those who had in 1776 framed the Declaration of Independence, he said: "When men as they were, they knew the technology of breeding tyrants and so they established those great self-selfident truths that when in the distant future some men come faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rioters, or orn, but white men, or none but Anglo-Saxon white men, were entitled to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness', their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began, so that truth and justice and all the human and Christian virtues were extinguished from the land; so that they should dare to limit and circumscribe the great principle on which the temple of liberty was being built." In conclusion we submit to Your Honor, that in view of the character and effect of these ordinances, as we have endeavored to point them out, a writ of injunction should now issue out of this court as prayed for in the bill, for reasons that may be briefly stated as follows: First. Because, if these ordinances shall be enforced, they will deprive complaintants of these natural rights to labor and acquire property and enjoy the use thereof, for the protection of which rights "governments are instituted among men." Second. Because, if these ordinances shall be enforced they will, in violation of the Federal Constitution, deprive complaintants of their property and the use of their property without complaint. Third. Because, to deny to complainants on account of their color (as provided in these ordinances), the right to occupy the property they may own, will be to deny to and each of them on account of their color) the equal protection of the law, as secured to them by both the Federal Constitution and the statutes from which we have quoted. It is not important to inquire here whether we do or do not like colored persons as neighbors. The great question is: Should the courts, that have in their keeping our lives, our liberties, and our property, by their judgments and decrees, preserve or surrender the board principles of human liberty on which this Government was established? THE END TALKS ON THRIFT When we speak of theft, the aver age man and woman immediately jump into conclusion that we mean merely the saving of money, and having been unable to save money, concludes that the practice of theft is an impossible achievement. We are apt to picture the man of theft as a "fightwad," so careful in money matters that it is painful both to him and those about him; he counts every penny with thoughtful care and spends it with regret, denies himself every rightful pleasure wears his clothes, and they are threadbare, eats the plained of food, and deposits his money in the saving-bank with the blike regularity. But that is a narrow thrift, and it may not be thrift at all; for the misthrift, although he may be a good example of saving. While thrift results in the saving of money, it is bigger in the saving of money that that. The man of thrift works hard to earn arms that he may spend wisely for the things that make life worth living. While he has an one on the future he does not forget that we live but once and are entitled to some of the good things of life as we go along. Too many people live so much in antifairy to the present that they miss the toys of the present. Too many deeds the future and, instead of preparing for it, worries about it. Satisfaction in life comes from two sources: First a knowledge that we have a part in the world's work and are playing that part, well. Second that we are ready for to-morrow. In the last analysis contentment both for today and to-morrow is merely a matter of dollars and cents. While money is not the chief end and aim of man, it is essential to the full enjoyment of life. A certain bank clerk who had worked in one institution, twenty years was summarily discharged, and a lifesaving found himself out of a job, a family to support and no money. He lifesaved went through hell before he found other work at far less contention, and all the loss he had in spending his money were overshadowed by the worry, the angst and the reinstitution process. If he could not save at least he did not and a few hundred dollars. In the bank now would look like a million to him. There are many in the same situation to whom the loss of employment would be a tragedy, full of grievance horrors. We mistake greatly the meaning of thrift if we conclude that it means simply self-demoral and saving; for while it does involve sacrifice, it is sacrifice for a purpose. Thrift serves for a purpose and amends for a purpose. There is a thrift that is mean and introspective and poke life of much of comforts, and there is a thrift that is THE STAR HAIR GROWER— A WONDERFUL, HAIR DRESSING & GROWER One Thousand Agents Wanted.

The capture apparently clinches the Austro-German hold on a large section of western Wallachia and probably means the cutting, off of important Rumanian forces from their line of retreat by railroad. Cralova lies on the main line between Orsara and Bucharest, about 130 miles west of the capital. The Rumanian army retreating in the Jiu valley was falling back toward this town and was reported in the Petrograd official statement Tuesday to have reached the region of Fillinia, about forty miles northwest of Cralova. If General von Falkenharn's troops have beaten it to Cravona, as seems probable, its railway line of retreat thus is severed. Likewise, it would appear that the Rumanian force which had been operating in the Orsova region was seriously imperiled, if not out off, by this new Teutonic success Cravona before the war had a population of nearly 50,000, and was an active center of Rumanian trade. By bold and rapid strokes the Teutonic invaders apparently have conquered a large section of Northwestern Wallachia from the Rumanians. Petrograd's official bulletin announces a Rumanian retirement in this part of the battle front to the region of Pillash, forty miles northwest of Craiova. Judging from the recent reports of the operations, this means that converging attacks by Austro-German forces moving southward in the Jilul valley and eastward along the railway from Orsova have compelled the Rumanians to withdraw from the Otsova region and executed a rapih retreat in the Jilul valley. This more was made, it appears, to prevent the retreat of their armies from being cut off. In the other chief field of present military activity the Macedonian from French and Serbian troops are continuing their pursuit of the German and Bulgarian forces, while we evaluate Monastir under adverse pressure. Berl in reports the extreme advance here as a World war of the German-Bulgarian position by reconsidering detachments. The new line is initiated by press depictions to lie about seventeen miles northwest of Monastir and is reported to be strongly entrenched and defended in part by fresh German forces. East of the Macedonian region Berlin declares Serbian attempt to advance were repulsed. DEUTSCHLAND STARTS AGAIN German Merchant Submarine Leaves New London on Return Voyages.

Crowds on both sides of the river watched the boat pass down the harbor. --- Big Bonus for Powdermakers.

President Wilson's recommendation for railroad legislation in his address to come will be virtually the same as those embodied in his special address in August, when a nation-wide railroad strike was threatened. The president discussed some of the details with the cabinet. In his special address the president made "six specific recommendations" Two providing for an eight-hour day as a legal basis of work and wages on railways, and for a commission to observe the operation of the law, were embodied in the Adamson act. The others, which remained unacted upon and which will be renewed by the president are: "I immediate provision for the enlargement and administration reorganization of the interstate commerce commission along the lines embodied in the bill recently passed by the house of representatives and now awaiting action by the senate, that the commission may be enabled to deal with the great and various duties now devolving upon it with promptness and thoroughness which are, with the present constitution and means of action practically impossible. "Explicit approval by the congress of the consideration by the interstate commerce commission of an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been rendered necessary by the adoption of the eight-hour day, and which have not been offset by administrative readjustments and economies, should the facts disclose justify the increase." "An amendment of the existing federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such controversies as the present, by adding to it a provision that in case the methods of accommodation now provided for shall fall, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may be lawfully attempted. "The belief in the hands of the executive of the power, in case of military necessity, to take control over such portion of the railways of the country as may be required for military use, and to operate them for military purposes, with authority to draft into the military service of the United States such trade news and administrative official, as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient use."

President Wilson formally designated Thursday, November 29, as Thanksgiving day. Here follows the president's proclamation. "It has long been the custom of our people to turn in the frugal autumn in praise and thanksgiving to Alma, and many blessettes and mercies to present." The year that has clasped since we last observe our day of Thanksgiving has been rich in blessings to us as a people, but the whole face of the world has been in our hands and war in the midst of our persecution and oppression though dull with painful disquiet upon the struggles and sufferings of the nations at war and of the peoples upon whom war has wronged at disaster or in possession of possibility or capture in their path without thinking of our own happiness without thinking of our painful distress. "Now the store, I Woodrow Wilson, presides of the United States of America, to appoint Thursday the thirteenth day of Thanksgiving, and prayer, and urge and add the people to resort to their several places of worship on that day to render thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of peace and unhindered presence of the has, bestowed upon our beloved country in such unstituted measure. And I also urge and suggest our duty in this day of peace and abdication to think in deep sympathy with the people of the world upon whom the war has taken place, so plightfully fallen and contributed to a show abundant means to the relief of their suffering. Our people could in no better way show their real attitud towards the people of World War II by contributing out of the relief of the suffering which war has brought in its train. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and carried the soul of the United States to the affirmed.
