Lester entered the Ministerial Mirage, the Rev. Dr. A. A. Graham devolved his duties of welcome. He pointed out America as the home of the American Negro and declared that he was here and here to stay, and it was out of the question for any one to think of him going anywhere else. In the world wde war for democracy, he was going to do his part. NEGRO A PART OF THE COUNTRY "We have done whatever we have been asked to do," he said, "and in many cases have not waited to be asked, but have gone right on doing our part. We realize that recognition has come to us as never before in the history of our country, and never before were we so well prepared. We are in every department of the army, and this is our first in some of them. For instance we are in the artillery, the rad o. and other departments, and we have put up our money and done our bit. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association on has put $100,000 in Liberty Bonds, and I could not think of telling you the number of individuals who have gone into it as high as $50,000. When the war is over, with our thousands of trained, disciplined, drilled men, of course we are going to take the place of men. The country for which we have given some of our best blood, need not expect us to take the place of soldiers. We must make America free for democracy, and then we must be able to be high in Mississippi as well as in Maine." Col. Maryus Jones, ex Mayor of Newport News represented the Mayor in presenting welcome to the city, R. F. Free smoke for the Church; Dr. Preston Blake for the white Baptists; J. P. Brown, D.

He reviewed the work, taking every piece of it, but he surprised the convention by citing his natural closes with his resignation. It was few minutes before the deference reduced what had happened, and it was in the afternoon session that they voiced the resignation on the tabloid-relected him for another year. It was at this point that Dr. Galvin insured the convention that he loved the work, but was in earnest and wanted to retire. With regret his resignation was accepted, and then Dr. T. J. Kin, one of the leading young men in the convention was elected his successor. The Rev. T. D. White then followed with his resignation to correspond secretary, and this brought out other squeches.

Envelopes for the Community House for Colored People were distributed in some of the churches last Sunday. Only a shortage of envelopes prevented their distribution in all the churches. The churches and other organizations are taking hold of the enterprise with great interest. Some of the clubs of the city have already pledged from $10.00 to $25.00 each toward the support of this movement. Some of the churches will give from $50.00 to $75.00 each. A number of individuals pledged $5.00 and $10.00 each. There ought to be interest in making this movement for the welfare of the colored people a great success. Every one ought to be glad to contribute a dollar to his race with the assurance that it will secure one or two dollars from the other race to be expended for his own welfare. With such a committee in charge of the work, no one can question the high character of the management of whatever funds are given.

King Elected President. Dr. A. A. Galvin Retires with Honors--Harmony Reigns in Virginia. (Charles Stewart) Newport News, Va., May 13.—Rev. T. J. King, of Richmond, Va., was elected president of the Virginia Baptist State Convention last week, Rev. A. A. Galvin, who has held the position for the past six years resigned and was elected chairman of the Trustee Board of the Virgin a phological Seminary and College. The fifty-first annual session has passed into history as one of the greatest and most successful sessions ever held in the history of the Convention, and plans are now being laid for the next session. There was much rejoicing over the fact that at the Jubilee held in 1917 the indebtedness against the college was wiped out, and President R. C. Woods was able to report some improvements, including the modern dining hall which was erected during the year. THE OPENING CENTER The convention opened Wednesday morning, May 8, with a large delegation from all parts of the State present, and many from Washington, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. Representing the Ministerial Alliance the Rev. Dr. A. A. Graham delivered an address of welcome. He pointed out America as the home of the American Negro and declared that he was here and here to stay, and it was out of the question for any one to think of him going anywhere else. In the world wide war for democracy, he was going to do his part. NEGRO A PART OF THE COUNTRY "We have done whatever we have been asked to do," he said, "and in many cases have not waited to be asked, but have gone right on doing our part. We realize that recognition has come to us as never before in the history of our country, and never before we so well prepared. We are in every department of the army, and this is our first in some of them. For instance we are in the artillery, the radio, and other departments, and we have put up our money and done our bit. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association has put $101,000 in Liberty Bonds, and I could not think of telling you the number of individuals who have gone into it as high as $50,000. When the war is over, with our thousands of trained disciplined, drilled men, of course we are going to take the place of men. The country for which we have given some of our best blood, need not expect us to take the place of scullons. We must make America free for democracy, and then we must be able to be men in Mississippi as well as in Maine." Col. Maryus Jones, ex-Mayor of Newport News represented the Mayor in extending welcome to the city. R. H. Free spoke for the Church; Dr. Preston Blake for the white Baptists; J. p. Brown, D. D. for the adjacent cities. All the addresses were responded to by T. J. Johnson. DR. GALVIN'S ADDRESS One of the most scholarly addresses ever delivered to the convention was by Dr. A. A. Galvin, the president. He reviewed the work, taking up every phase of it, but he surprised the convention by closing its annual address with his resignation. It was a few minutes before the delegates realized what had happened, and it was in the afternoon session that they voted the resignation on the table and re-elected him for another year. It was at this point that Dr. Galvin assured the convention that he loved the work, but was in earnest and wanted to retire. With regrets his resignation was accepted, and then Dr. T. J. King, one of the leading young men in the convention was elected his successor. The Rev. T. H. White then followed with his resignation as corresponding secretary, and this brought out other speeches. OFFICERS ELECTED The convention elected the other officers as follows: B. Tyrrell, Lynchburg, S. A. Moses, Danville, S. W. Daughtery, Carrsville, J. H. Harvey, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1918. M.

DISTINGUISHED MEN PRESENT. Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia was on hand and contributed his bit, and assured the brethren that it was a pleasure for him to be associated with the convention. Dr. Walter H. Brooks spoke of it h a forty-four years connection with the convention. Major Allen Washington, of Hampton Institute, and president of the Negro Organization Society, extended an invitation to the ministers to visit the institute, and placed at their disposal sufficient cars to carry the whole convention. Dr. T. J. King preached the annual sermon; Rev. C. C. Sommerville preached Thursday night and Dr. S. A. Moses, D. D., Friday night. All the representatives had something to say. Mrs. Johnson, representing the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which Dr. W. W. Brown is pastor, after an address Thursday night placed on the table $190 from that church. Rev. Lawrence Fenice, assistant Chaplain, Hampton Institute, and others smoke. The great Virgil ni Baptist State Convention has just closed its fifty-first annual session at Newport News having met with the Zion Baptist Church in their commodious new building, the Rev. Dr. C. F. Jones, pastor. Although T. is just a little more than nine months since the Jubilee meeting was held this session was not one whit behind the high standard which this Convention maintains, from any angle.

Radford; Treasurer, Deacon A. Humbles, Lynchburg; Auditor, Rev. Dr. R. H. Bowling, Norfolk. The air of seriousness and preparedness seems to have pervaded the Convention from the beginning. The speeches of welcome were all thoughtful, serious and instructive, punctured here and there by the seriousness of grim visaged war; especially was this noticeable in the speech of the Reverend Gentleman representing the Mayor, also that of Prof. John Einstein, who described so vividly the work he is doing to better the condition of the soldier boys, morally, physically and religiously, that tears stood in the eyes of many. His appeal to the ministry to ar to the seriousness and necessity of the real condition confronting us and help prepare a place in society, in business and what not for the soldier boys who return from the battlefield all bleeding, mangled, wounded and dismembered, was earnest and lasting. The sermons by Drs. C. C. Sommerville, J. C. Austin and S. A. Moses were epoch making, marking a high degree of preparedness from every viewpoint. Friday afternoon brought to us that distinguished race leader and newspaper veteran, the Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. His very presence electrified the congregation.

Envelopes for the Community House for Colored People were distributed in some of the churches last Sunday. Only a shortage of envelopes prevented their distribution in all the churches. The churches and other organizations are taking hold of the enterprise with great interest. Some of the clubs of the city have already pledged from $10.00 to $25.00 each toward the support of this movement. Some of the churches will give from $50.00 to $75.00 each. A number of individuals pledged $5.00 and $10.00 each. There ought to be interest in making this movement for the welfare of the colored people a great success. Every one ought to be glad to contribute a dollar to his race with the as sursance that it will secure one or two dollars from the other race to be expended for his own welfare. With such a committee in charge of the work, no one can question the high character of the management of whatever funds are given. Remember the reports are to be made at a great mass meeting at Ehenezer Church at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon June 2nd.

NOTES "The World Sisterhood" was the theme of Miss Mary McBloroy, of the National Board, New York City in her address at Vesper Services last Sunday afternoon. Miss McBloroy, who has spent many years service in India and China made very real to us the essential one-ness of all girls everywhere and made very clear some of the handicaps and problems of the young girl of the East. She spoke to a crowded house. To our friends we extend a cordial welcome to our Vesper Hour Sunday afternoon, from 6 to 7. The membership social hour of last Monday was a happy one in spite of the rain. Zion Baptist Raises Much Money. The Zion Baptist Church congregation of South Richmond, held a new rally last Sunday.

BING THE NEGRO AND THE WAR DEPARTMENT The May Crisis says concerning the Negro and the War Department : It seems to be necessary to inst it on first endeavor the Negro from the War Department. We are well aware that much of this injustice is incidental and not intentional. We propose to fight the African men not for what our the men may be; but we admit to the public that intention is the injustice toward colored soldiers is the poorest invective that this nation can make last now. First, be aware the position of Colonel Young. He is still imprisoned in Ohio on injur'y with nothing to do. The Examiner, Boarq recommend of that Colonel Young be "retained in active service." The Secretary of War approved this recommendation and directed that Colonel Young be placed on active duty. The Adjutant General, knowing the difference be seen "notive service" and active duty" immedately retired Colonel Young from active service and placed him on active duty with nothing to do. "Twelve million Negroes demand that Colonel Young be restored to "active service." Augus, the Nine-year second Division of Nega troops, was established by the Secretary of War and approved by President Wilhelm over the protest of the German staff, but no effort was made to secure for this division certain necessary persons of technical training. The educated officers at Fort Des Moines were given no artillery training. Farmers from the South, largely illiterate and without mechanical skill or education, were assigned to the artillery in the first draft. This, however, could easily have been remedied by transferring from other residences in this division and from other divisions, educated and technically trained colored men, the permission to make such transfers has been denied by the War Department. Unless this decision is reversed, the Nine-year second Division is bound to be a failure as a unit organization. Is it possible that persons in the War Department wish this division to be a failure? Thirdly, we call the attention of the public to Bulletin No. 35 sent out from Carp Funston, Kansas, which says: The Division Commander has repeatedly urged that all color members of his command, and especially the officers and non-commissioned officers, should refrain from going where their presence will be resented. In spite of this injunction one of the sergeants of the Medical Department has recently precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided and then called on the Division Commander to take sides in a row that never should have occurred and would not have occurred had the sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This sergeant entered a theatre, as he undoubtedly had a legal right to do, and precipitated trouble by making it possible to allege race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter and the theatre manager is legally wrong. Nevertheless, the sergeant is guilty of the greater wrong in doing anything no matter how legally correct that will provoke race animosity. Can it be that General Ballon is not going to protect his colored officers in their simplest legal rights? We are aware how careful colored men have to be everywhere in the United States in "stirring up" race antagonism, but the greatest danger is not that they will carelessly brawl on race antagonism, but rather that they will invite it by submitting to intolerable insult. Finally, we call attention to one other action of the War Department, preaching it by the information that they recently three colored doctors in Detroit that they are graduates of some of the foremost medical schools of the country, and that they have long practiced among both colored and white people. Notwithstanding this, the following letter has been sent to local Exemption Board No. 4: "Gentlemen,—It has been called to the attention of this department that many of your white registrants have been examined by colored doctors. This matter has been taken up with the Adjunct General and he deserves that this practice be & continued. "By direction of the Adjunct General, "Signed by Robert K. Davis." RESOLUTIONS IN HONOR OF THE LATE JUDGE JAMES KEITH. Remarks of Mr. R., L. Montague, in Presenting Resolutions of the Richmond Bar. --- The following were the remarks of Hon. R. L. Montague presenting the resolutions of the Richmond Bar in memorial of the late Judge James Keith to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, May 3, 1918: May it please the Court: I have been selected by the Bar of the City of Richmond to present to this Honorable Court the resolutions adopted by our Bar, expressing their profound sorrow in the death of Judge James Keith and their sincere tribute to his exalted character as a man and his eminent services as a jurist. These resolutious in some measure, though inadequately, express not alone the sense of personal bereavement which is so deeply felt by the members of the Bar, but a just and all estimate of his life, his character and his labors as they are known and esteemed by those intimately associated with him. Ke in him was so well and facetiously known to tell the members of his Honorable Court—1 feel I am justified in saving so affectionately known,—that it would be out of peace, certainly superfluous,—for me to give an extended sketch of his life as a man and his career as a Judge. Judge Keith was by birth and native ability far above the average. He was related to Chief Justice Marshland and the Randolphs of Virginia, and inherited the abilities of his distinguished ancestors in no need degree. He did not, however, rely on ancestry, but on merit, for success. His success in life was due to his skilled character, native abilities, industry, fixed convict ows and wide learning. He had a mind of wonderful grasp and great firmness of decision. He came to the center of a case as if by intuition. He relied in a straight line from the premise to the conclusion. The capability, with which his mind solved legal problems was since nearly old. Judge Keith commenced the prosecution of the Winston Bar in that audited for the coming and exalted character of it members, but parsimply had he been admitted to the bar before the battle left of the Confederacy summoned to war. He served in the Confederate Army for four years. He was a member of Hickett's Famous Black Horse Company in a company that acted one division as the guide and counter of Hickett's life and another division as the guide and counter of Stonewall Jackson. He was personally accustomed with both of these distinguished Confederate Generals and was fond of relating his personal experiences of them. Judge Koehne never held any official office save that of member of the presidency of Virginia for one term, in 1870 he was elected Judge of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit. He qualified as Judge of said Circuit in 1870 and served until the end of 1891 when he became Judge and President of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. At the time of his first elevation to the bench he was the youngest Circuit Judge in Virginia. In 1895 he qualified, as above stated, Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State for a term of twelve years, and upon the expiration of his first term he was unanimously relected for the second term, the remainder Judge and President of the Supreme Court until he voluntarily resigned June, 1916. He served twenty-four years as nisi prius judge and twenty-one years and some months as President and Judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. In other words he wore the judicial eme for nearly forty-six years, and finally laid it aside with honor to himself, his profession and his country, and then only when 'the indignities of old age began to cry aloud for repose.' It is as a Judge, however, that he will be best known, respected, admired, loved and remembered.—as Judge and President of the highest court of his State for nearly a quarter of a century. He will live in the judicial annals of his State for centuries to come; and in other jurisdictions, State and Federal, where his opinions will be studied, respected, quoted and admired. Excluding per curiam judgments, Judge Keith delivered, while on the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, six hundred and seventy-seven written opinions, gave written concurring opinions in twenty-one additional cases, and written dissenting opinions in twenty-six cases. These published opinions constitute a substantial and valuable contribution to the exposition of our laws. He was a man of striking personality, great dignity of character and the h greatest conception of the exalted calling of a judge. He was in personal appearance and in action every inch a judge. He did not think that a judge should permit consequences to bend the law and merely let hard cases make bad law. In Townsend v. N, Ry Co., 105 Va. 19, 50, he said: "Courts have no policies and cannot permit consequences to influence the judgments further than to serve warnings and incentives to thoroughness and coöffice of detention of the causes submitted to them. Those duties being faithfully performed, courts may await the result with patience if not always with confidence, and say with the great Lord Mansfield, 'Fiat justitiae quod codum.'" His favorite judges were Chief Justice Marshall, Lord Hardwicke and Lord Mansfield—a trio of Jurists that have added luster to our race and are destined to Ive as long as the common law of England remains as a part of our Jurisprudence, Judge Keith had a most striking way of outing legal propositions. In a case involving estopple, where the court evidently intended to effectuate a fraud by remaining silent, he used this expression, "he was silent where the circumstances would impel an honest man to speak." In Munford v. MeVeigh, 92 Va, 141, Judge Keith delivered the opinion of the lower court. He had decided this case in the lower court, while a circuit judge. There is appended to a foot note to th's case the following: "Judge Keith decided the case in the Circuit Court, but participated in the decision in the Court of Appeals at the request of counsel on both sides." The case involved usury and application of payments. In this case he delivered the opinion of the court and reversed himself. This case well illustrates how his mind was open to conviction and how broad and fair minded he was. Judge Keith was a delightful conversationalist, ready and interesting, and had a keen sense of the humorous and was gifted at repartee. An Illustration: An attorney was arguing a case before his Court, when his time was up. Judge Keith reminded him of it. The attorney replied, "If the Court will give me an hour longer I can so elucidate the case as to relieve the Court of many hours of labor." Judge Keith pleasantly replied, "The Court is unwilling to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA wait a certainty for an uncertainty,¹ the episode ended and the next case was promptly called. He was seriously considered for appointment as Justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals of the United States by two of our Presidents. That he would have served on this high Court with distinished honor to himself and his country there can be no doubt. Judge Keith was twice married, his wives were sisters. His first wife died in early life; he survived his second wife some years. He left a daughter and a son. His daughter was with him at his end, but his son, true to the teaching of his father, was about at the time of his father's death serving his country as a volunteer in the Aviation section of our Army. The Psalist of Israel has said old age is honorable. Justice Koehlich lived to be seventy-eight years old. But he did not have a hair on his head or a ruglet on his brow that he not grown gray and old in dishearing justice without fear or favor. His old gray were peaceful and happy enough his heat was feeble and he did not see the end was not for distance. "The day was waiting for the dusk." However, he did not lose buttered his country and he was one of the very first to write President Wilson congratulating him for his stand in deceiving war against Germany. He passed away on January 11, 1985, in the City that he loved and in which he had spent twenty-one years most beautiful of his life, until 60 years and tall of height. "Life is who writes the drama of his touch upon him and lies down to present dreams." A truly great judge uses us but his example and his leads remain with us. With love to his memory and to present to his ages, I now present to this Reminable Court the reconstitution of our Bar, in memorium of this great jurist, who believed with the great Lord Man died that law has its "its seat in the form of God," and I ask that they be enforced upon the records of this Court. DARING BAYDETS RAID POOL ROOM AND GET AWAY * WITH $4,000. --- Three men, who appeared to their victims to be 'dope' cruzel, calmly dropped into the Richmond Billiard Academy, $28 E. Main street, shortly after 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, lined the players up in a row and secured more than $4,000 in cash and a diamond stud valued at $2,000. While the trio who did the trick on the inside relieved the pool players of their valuables, a four man guarded the front door of the place and helped his pals to make a quick getaway in the low racer which waited. For the past week a short, dark-haired and keen-eyed fellow had been hanging around the place which was 'stuck up' and it is believed that he laid the plans for the trick which was turned. None of the men who entered the place wore a mask, and this fellow was one of the men who went through the pockets of the victims. EACH VICTIM SEARCHED The three men came into the place about 10:15 o'clock. For a little while they stood around and asked to be given a table, sayng that they wished to play pool. They were told that it was near closing time, and then put on their coats as if to leave. For a moment they stood together, apparently talking, when suddenly, one of the bigger men walked to the front of the poolroom. He stood with his back to the front window and commanded the men in the place to throw up their hands. The next order was, 'Close formation,' and the vietnames were lined up against the wall at the far end of the room. In turn each man was washed. Before the second big fellow carefully went the pool to see whether there were any guns in crowd, and following him came the one who the poolroom habitues were describing as 'the little guy'. He looked for valuables. He was not surprised at what he found but rather/surprised those he searched when he first took and then returned to a number of them their watches. As he went through the pocket he often remarked, "Take a good look at me, so you'll know me next time you see me." LARGE SUMS LOST The biggest loser was 'Jimmie Eagle, of G16 K. Franklin street, who lost $1,500 in cash, and a stud which he stated to the police was worth $2,000. A large dandelion ring which he wore on his hand was slipped to a safe place and resued from the searcher. In taking the stud, which was instained with a clutch, the neck the which Eagle wore was cut away. From William Sampson, one of the proprietors of the poolroom, $1,400 was taken. No attempt was made to have Sampson open the safe, which stood directly in front of the big fellow, who stood near the front window. It was apparently overlooked. R. H. Mapp, of Richmond Hotel, stated to the police, that $3,500 had been taken from him. He was one of the men whose watch was returned. R. E. Yates, of 616 E. Franklin, told the police that he had lost $74. N. C. Lowery, of $85 Petersburg Pike reported $501 gone. After the little girl' went through the pockets of T. H. Bernard, who said he was from Indianapolis, and took $57.65, he turned to the elderly gentleman from the Hdos er State, and condescended to return the odd 65 cents, saying, 'You can get your breakfast with that.' It was at first thought when the guns were drawn that the three men were only jesting, but it was not long before the 'stick' became a very serious matter. When the job was done the trio again ordered, 'Hands up' and two of them descended the steps. A third stayed in the rear near the line which they had formed, and when the first couple were safely down, he followed. Mr. Sampson said that he could identify any of the men and had often talked to the shorter one of the three.—Richmond, Times-Dispatch, May 12. ```markdown ``` The Planet (Richmond, N.J.) be sent to your order for only $1 per year in advance.

Everybody in the neighborhood of Fifth and Jackson streets was much excited last Tuesday evening when heavy firing was heard—that is, everybody but a certain good brother, who seated on the front, calmly smoohed his pine. Five shots were heard a rapid succession and the neighbors had many thoughts, but this good brother had only one. They thought that possibly the Germans had penetrated the Western front, and that the Huns were raiding old Richmond. But this brother calmly informed those who were near, That a man had just passed here with a long gun in his hands, saying that he --- the honor of being the only Negro woman in the State of Virginia—holding a State license to practice Embarking, and is indeed, one of the few women in the United States embarking and conducting funerals.

This day will long be memorable in the annuals of the Afro-American people, as it marks a distinct advance of the race in a department of the government in which it has not had much opportunity to serve and to distract itself. It is a far cry from the opinion of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney in Dred Scott, as Stanford, in 1856, that "it is held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect," to the swearing in by a Federal Judge of a colored man, for his fifth term to be a Judge in the Municipal Court in the D district of Columbia. The Taney decision is made all the more impressive in the glaring reversal which has come over the law and the spirit of the nation by the fact that Judge Terrell has been two ee appointed by a Democratic President and is confirmed by a Democratic Senate, and that he has served with conspicuous success and continuously in the same Federal Judicial department for sixteen years and a half. The record is a highly creditable one for the Judge, and paves the way for the race in its effort to make a place for itself in the Judiciary of the nation. immediately after being sworn in the Judge was confronted in his chambers by his associates on the bench, by a number of ladies, by a large gathering of friend lawyers, and by the members of the Washington Lawyers Association. His Court room was crowded. Mr. Royal A. Hughes, president of the Washington Lawyers Association, arose while the Judge sat in a bower of flowers and made a feeling and cloquent address of congratulation and felicitation, and then on the part of his associates presented the Judge with an elaborate basket of flowers designed by Powell, and a handsome leather br ef case. Judge Terrell made an eloquent and feeling address, in which he spoke in the highest terms of the uniform courtesy of his associates on the bench and of the members of the bar who practice in his Court, and of the honor which he's associates conferred upon him in this public address and presentation, if a so said he considered the occasion as a milestone, marking a long advance from 1856, when the race had no legal status. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the famous wife of the Judge, was called THE TANK IN THE WORLD BUILT FOR E. S. CATHEDRAL OF ST. MARY A view of Antiens showing the Cathedral, one of the most magnificent in Europe. The beautiful edifice has been struck several times by long range shells from the German batteries. upon by Hon. James A. Cobb and spoke sympathetically of the appreciation in which her husband is held by the members of the Bar and his associates on the bench. The ladies present were, Mrs. Terrell, and their daughter, Mary, Mrs. Arthur Brooks, Mrs. Walter Singleton, Mrs. Jenneette Carter and Mrs. George Burrell, of Philadelphia. It was a famous occasion, one to associate the Mee-American people in all directions to labor and to the tire not or the highest and the best in our own life. We have had no other occasion just like it in the history of the race, but the opening having kept me we are sure we shall have many more such as the toilsome, sorrentive years come and go.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES. ONE YEAR ..... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ..... .80 THREE MONTHS ..... .40 FOREIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS ..... $2.00 SATURDAY ..... MAY 18, 1918 This is an age of "little men with little minds." Germany wants peace, but she has quit talking about it. Colored folks, gave your money. You will need it after a while. The time has come when a person can reach the penitentiary just by talking. We shall all get to heaven one of these days and all of our troubles will be over. War is a serious thing, but to the civilian war taxes are even more serious. Be polite and obliging and make friends among the white folks and among the colored ones. From the utterances of the belligerents, it seems that all of them have much of the fighting spirit left. Colored folks believe in marriages and funnels. They spend large sums when they hope for happiness and when they know of sorrow. It is now reported that Germany does not expect the war to end before 1925. The way things seem to be going most of us will be dead by that time. Colored folks are putting up their money and laying down their lives for this government. When the war is over they shall expect a reckoning day in their favor. --- President Wilson is trying every expedient to win this war and the Congress is passing every kind of legislation for the purpose of doing the same thing. --- Congress seems anxious to antagonize the administration, but when it comes to the final "show down," President Wilson usually holds the whip handle, so to speak. When we notice present conditions we are led to wonder if the great God is still an observer of existing conditions and if He takes an active interest in the affairs of men. When you see interested people slandering and misrepresenting other folks, look at them sadly and go your way. They will reach the end of their tether, after a while. No matter what you believe or what you think, speak up for President Wilson and the National government. If this war is a failure do not let it be your fault. As a rule professional men do not make enough money to enable them to pay $1.50 for a colored journal. The hard working glasses are able to pay $5.00 per year for the same kind of医法. News has come that the American army will not be put into immediate service in France. Then there came the report that this was a mistake. When the bodies of our dead are brought home, we may be able to as certain the truth or the falsity of the first report. Coloreq folks are abous to have another meeting in Washington. If hot air talk is wanted, that is the place to have it. Congress may stop long enough to find out who seems to be making as much noise as they are making. --- Attorney Francis H. Warren states that a white jury decided that he was a white man. The trouble about this is that the decision will not be observed outside of the jury room in which the decision was reached. For brilliancy of intellect and farseeing judgment, Attorney Warren is a winner. We need him on the colored folks' side of the line and the Negro haters will keep him on our side. RAPTIST CONCOURSE (Continued From First Page.) 1890 were pointed, true and instructive. The grace and dignity of the sessions were intensified by the presence of many of the fathers, prominent among whom were Dr. W. H. Brooks, the eloquent pastor of the great Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., Dr. Jor. Jones, Farmville and Dr. W. F. Graham, the affable, watchful diplomat. These men helped steer the old Convention ship when the sea was rough and the waves washing high. The Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which that great liberal hearted Dr. W. W. Brown is pastor, sent $100 (four hundred dollars) to the Convention by Sister Johnson, receiving the first prize and banner. Dr. Jones deserves much credit for the way he accommodated the Convention. The repas tendered the Convention Friday night was highly appreciated and reflected much credit upon the sisters as well as pastor and his congenital Madam. The high disqualified standard that has hovered over the Convention for so many years, which characteristic was so faithfully guarded by the retiring president, the polished unassuming Dr. Galvin was upheld to a remarkable degree by the newly elected president, the Rev. Dr. T. J. King, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va. The educational address by Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, was a masterpiece from a master-intellect and brain. We will in all probability meet in Petersburg next year with the great Gilfield Baptist Church, Dr. S. A. Brown, pastor. Long live the Virginia Baptist State Convention. C. E. Miller, Corresponding Secy CONNOKE NEWS ROANONE, VA., May 14.—The Mothers' Day services were observed Sunday at the High Street Baptist Church and at the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, the First Baptist and in fact the various churches throughout the city by able sermons in the morning by the ministers in charge. Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church had the pleasure of having the Rev. Augustus of Farmville to preach for them in the morning and he delivered a rich sermon that should be remembered by all who heard him for indeed he spared no pain to rivet on the minds of his hearers the importance of mothers. The death of Sir Alfred Penn, of 328 Seventh avenue, N. E. carve Sunday evening as a shock to the people of Roonoke about 5:30 o'clock. He had been in declining health for some time, but had gotten better and three Sabbaths ago attended his church for the last time. A noble character has gone from the High Street Church and a worthy Knight has gone from Roonoke Lodge, No. 51, K. of P., an honorable citizen, a great churchman; in truth an allround Christian gentleman.

Mrs. Bet the Anderson recited a very timely piece which was enjoyed by all. The evening services opened at the usual hour.
