LEWIS' BAPTIST CELEBRATION Rev. Dr Harvey Johnson Ask. Some Questions. Wilt Editor Mitchell give space in the Planet to ask Dr. Lewis a few questions about his purpose to celebrate what he calls the three hundredth anniversary of the ballet of the first Air and at J-metown? Will Dr. Lewis tell the Bartletts of the Country, when that first ballet took place? Louis says it was 1629. Rapid path says it was 1630. But Carter and all recent histories say 1649. Which was it? Will Dr. Lewis tell it? 1639 and 1649 are two different dates. Those two dates combined each other, hence we have no standard date. How then, can we celebrate it? 167 C. M. Mulien who has written on the subject as late as 1650 says that they come in a Dutch war vessel. Rapid path says it was a trading craft that brought the first, Emory E. Childs (United States History) gave it in 1699 that a Dutch vessel landed the first slaves. Again I ask, which was it? THE BEGINNING OF SLAVERY But can there be any honor in the rebellion of when our archeology be so will be Lewis point in our? Not only so, but all of the cited history of the settlement of the north mount of the Colony of Virginia, in pure myth and not written by myth. After doubtless the one simple fact, that our explorers of Europe at nestock or on the Western Continent I repeat, after that, all is myth. I further remark the Lewis that there can be no position where there is contradiction to it to the facts in any given case. So I have noted on other contradictions to it in the second history of the United States of America slaves at Jamestown, for authors we merely divided on the question whether it was then or third John Duvaine Carter in his history, name 1252 says the Duvaine bought African slaves into Jamestown in 1257 sometime Aeson corner.

Will Editor Mitchell give space in the Planet to ask Dr. Lewis a few questions about his purpose to celebrate what he calls the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the first African at Jamaica. Will Dr. Lewis tell the Baptists of the Country, when that first landing took place? Lossing says 1620; Ridpath also says 1620. But Carter and all recent historians say 1619. Which was it? Will Dr. Lewis tell us? 1620 and 1619 are two different years. Those two dates contradict each other, hence we have no standard date. When can we celebrate it? G. M. Mullen who has written on the subject as late as 1910 and that they came in a Dutch war vessel. Ridpath says it was a trading vessel. Ridpath that brought the first. Emily E. Childs, (United States History) says it was in 1620 that a Dutch vessel landed the first shaves. Again I ask, which was it? THE BEGINNING OF SLAVERY But can there be any honor in the celebration of when our slavery be gan? If so, will Dr. Lewis point it out? Not only so, but all of the so-called history of the settlement of the settlement of the Colony of Virgina is pure myth, and nothing but myth. After dropping, the one simply dropping, that car in explorers of Europe underlie to colonize this Western Continent. I repeat, after that, all is myth. I further remind Dr. Lewis that there can be no standard when there is contradiction to the facts in any given case. So I here point out other contradictions in the so-called history of the founding of the African states at Jamestown, for authors are greeted when on the question as to dates; when it was 1620 or 1619. John Prynne Craw, in his history, page 173 says the Portuguese brought African slaves into Hispaniola in 1563 seventeen years earlier. Again I ask, which was it? WANTS DR. LEWIS TO LEAD. Now with reference to the General Association; Since, that Association went out from the Virginia Baptist State Convention at Lexington, I suggest that it will be a fitting thing for them to return, and as Dr. Z. D. Lewis did much in leading them out, (he now, being the President) it will be more befitting for him to lead them back, and at the same time, celebrate that as a great denominational event, rather than celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the first slaves at Jamestown. In the earnest wish that it may come to pass, I am Yours sincerely, —HARVEY JOHNSON.

Y. —The members of the Salem Baptist Church, Flatbush, Brooklyn, $a_0$ bereft of their pastor, the Rev. J. W. Dudley, D. D. who has accepted the unanimous call to the pastorate of the Zion Baptist Church, South Richmond, Va. The Rev. Mr. Dudley came to Brooklyn about six years ago and began his work in Flatbush with a few church members who were worshipping in a small place which they rented and were at the time far in arrears in their payments. Dr. Dudley organized the little force into a building fund committee $a_0$ and began to preach the gospel with vigor and his followers increased rapidly. The congregation now worships in an edifice worth $25,000 and only owes $2,500. Nearly $c_0$ hundred members have been added to the church under Dr. Dudley's ministry. During his residence in Flatbush the Rev. Mr. Dudley has won the respect and good will of both races. The white people regret as much as do the members of his own race that he is to leave the community, in fact the white people who have given liberally to the church say they will give more and see to it that the balance of $2.500 now needed to complete payments is forthcoming. The members and friends of the church tendered Dr. and Mrs. Dudley a magnificent reception on Friday evening of last week. The Zion Baptist Church, South Richmond, Va. to which Dr. Dudley goes, has a membership of nearly 1,200 and it is fortunate in securing such a church builder and financier as the Rev. J. W.

Union's nine wins the laurel by the feating Lawrenceville 9-3 in Hovey Park Friday April 11th. Scott, Union's pitcher tauces excellent pills the whole game thru and re-fused to walk a single man while Johnson of the rival team walked two. Johnson seemed to have pitch ed good ball but the harder he pitched the better Union's men could hit. Jenkins, Union's famous fence hustler knocked a three bagger and succeeded in coming home on an ad vance hit by Wilkins. Wilkins made one run, McAllister one, Capt. Taylor two, McGuin three, and Foy one. Winfield made one run as Patterson made two in order to prevent the goose from laying an egg on Lawrenceville's base-ball chronicle. Despite April's intermittent show ers, the Grand Stand was packed to its fullest capacity. The enthusiastic yells of the Union rooters rose as Union's team walked victoriously off the field. FOR UNITY OF RACE ACTION A EPOCHAL CRISIS IN RACE HISTORY To our Colored American Editors—All thoughtful, colored Americans felt it fortunate that the closing world war was declared to $b_0$ for world democracy, "for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government." We all felt this war slogan was our only hope of deriving any relief from par-ticipation. Very unfortunately there arose a division over demanding the fulfillment as $a_n$ integral part of the war's settlement, a large portion of the $Rac_e$ favoring the movement to send petitionors to petition for an agreement to grant democracy to citizens of color at the Peace Conclave, others opposing the attempt as a "domestic" question, and favoring a demand as to the German African Colonies. The events of 3 months have made it possible for a uniting of all elements, since the League of Nations draft gives Africa no freedom and it has leaked out that President Wilson himself fathered a clause against religious discrimination in a provisional draft, thus affording a precedent for a clause against racial discrimination. There is now a strong feeling that when the history is written it shall not be recorded that the advanced Colored millions of America and elsewhere defaulted their own cause for democracy by division when peace was made after a world war in which they fought and died. Let us unite for positive action. To this great end the Managing Committee of the Colored World Do moracy Congress (which represented the race very generally) under the Equal Rights League has accepted a compromise suggestion of a peace clause on which it is hoped all editors and leaders will unite, as it's so wreded as to recognize our right to World Democracy at the Paris Conclave yet not empower the League of Nations to interfere within any nation, thus removing the "domestic question" argument. Here is the clause— "Real democracy for the world being the avowed war aim of nations establishing the League of Nations, the high contracting parties agree to vouchsafe to their citizens respective full liberty rights of democracy and protection of life without restriction of distinction based on race, color or previous condition." The Committee earnestly appeals to our editors to publish this proposed amendment to the League of Nations Covenant, which reached the Peace Conference Commission, March 22nd to comment on it and urge the holding of mass meetings demanding it's adoption at Paris, is the least we can ask for if we are not to oppose ratification. Let us say so now. Yours that our race may not go down in history as dividing at such an ooph. BYRON GUNNER HILBURN N. Y. Chairman Executive Committee DECLARATION ON PERMANENT PEACE AND A LEAGUE OF NATIONS. New York—The United Civic League of this city has issued the following: The people of the World as well as the United States, are primarily interested more in permanent peace than they are a League of Nations with entangling alliances and untried obligations; and if one is dependent upon the other (which we do not be lieve) then oil of the extraordinary, unsympathetic and strategic jockeying for advantage and control over the weaker nations and the less for ward units or groups of peoples in the world should cease. We believe the League of Nations as now proposed to be a positive menace to world democracy and an enemy to freedom; we believe it to be a colossal, arbitrary effort on the part of two or three great countries with kindred tongues and customs to deny the smaller nations and weaker peoples of the world self determination, industrial freedom and political autonomy; and if these be the aims of the League, they are to say the least, clandestine. And no permanent peace can or will prevail, built upon the structure of injustice or the arrogance of one class of people over the other. Any successful peace agreement looking forward to crenanity must breathe into its vitals Burns' magnificent regard for humanity "A man's a man for a that" or else the proposed league, should include in its program preparations for a more drastic war than the one from which we have just emerged. When the Author of our Hope and Faith said, "Let there be light," the golden rays of this command shone upon every tribe as well as in every nook and corner of the earth; so like unto it when the commissioners on the "League of Nations" sign a Treaty of Peace the beneficent influence should rest with equal grace up on the heads of the high; the low; the weak and the strong. Equality of opportunity in every direction, equality of human rights absolute and equal political justice will cure every ill to which the world is heir—and may God forbid our country, the United States, participating in any other kind.

FIND NEGRO STEVEDORE IS FRENCH BRIDE-ELECT Marsoifles Girl Travels t America or Same Ship With Promised Husband New York, April 13.—The transports K. I, Luckenback, Turrialba and Hisco arrived here today from France bringing 2,509 officers and on listed men; eighty-eight army nurses and one "Negro Stevedore" who proved, on route to Beille, Alexandria Boyer of Marselles, bride-elect of Michael Black of Munice, Ind., a first class boatswain's mate. Mile. Boyer travelled lecognito for the first two days until, according to soldiers on the Luckenback, she be came seasick and so pale that her heavy coating of burnt cork failed longer to deceive the boat's officers. She made the rest of the trip in the isolation ward and was turned over to immigration officials on her arrival. Her finance who arrived in the "brig" asserts the marriage which was blocked in France by lack of time to go through the French "red tape," will be solemnized as soon as he can persuade immigration officials to release her and naval authorities to release him.

JOHN MITCHELL, JR., EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond Virginia, as second-class matter. THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN NEGRO, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols has been heard from at last. The report of the sessions of the Pan-African Congress held in Paris, France, February 19, 20 and 21, 1919 has been published in this country. Premier Clemenceau kept his word and permitted the meeting of the influential body that dealt with the race question in general and the rights and privileges of the black people of the world in particular. The New York Crisis gave to the public an interesting report and we observe that the complaints of the colored people of the United States were set forth in the instrument but not without reference in the same that will prove to be rather embarrassing to those of us who live above and below the Mason and Dixon Lino. The specific reference to the colored people in this country is found in the following Section: Civilized Negroes: Whover persons of African descent are civilized and able to meet the tests of our rounding culture they shall be accorded the same rights as their fellow citizens; they shall not be denied on account of race or color a voice in their own government. Justice before the courts and economic and social equality according to ability and desert. This is all right but a demand is included here for social equality a thing that exists not by mandate or law, but by the voluntary act of the individuals themselves. This has been made a campaign issue in every southern State in this country and colored leaders here have repeatedly declared that what they wanted was civil and political equality. When that is secured the other will be a matter for the two races to settle. Colored people are desirous of maintaining their racial integrity and have for that reason opposed the licentious actions of white people who have been raising up a race of illegitimate mulattoes throughout the Southland. They halk at marrying these females but do not hesitate at the task of robbing them of their virtue. White Negro-haters have insisted that the desire of every colored citizen is to marry some white woman, when as a matter of fact these same colored men have been really anxious to keep white men from with or without marrying and raising up mulatto children unto Abraham. We cite these facts in order to disabuse the minds of the people in this country that our people in some parts of "these low grounds of sorrow" are in a pitilable condition, desirous of exercising the rights and privileges of freemen, free from any entangling questions, which might serve to hinder and embarrass them and their friends in their fight for official and practical recognition. The preamble and clauses drawn up at Paris are admirable definitions of the position of the black races of the world. We have noted the list of representatives of the respective countries: United States with sixteen representatives, but one of whom was officially sent there by colored organizations in this country unless others got over across the water without public knowledge or were elected and commissioned after arriving there. Haiti, which is now under American supervision and has apparently lost its old-time independence by selfish revolutions; French West Indies that holds allegiance to the French Republic; France, the black people of which Republic are accorded all of their rights and privileges, civil, political and otherwise: Liberia which is under the American yoke, better designated as "supervision; Spanish Colonies, whose residents should have no complaint against the mother country en account of race or color; Portuguese Colonies, the citizens of which are similarly situated; San Domingo, that is a dependency and may have grievances; England the British Africa the black inhabitants of which have the same com plaintiffs as those of this country; French Africa, which has always been accorded the blessings of equality and liberty according to the French standd; Algeria, which is also a dependency; Egypt whose inhabitants crave freedom; Belgian Congo, whose black inhabitants have a sad story to tell; Abyss nia, the freest of all of the protestants. These countries or representatives of the black people in these countries voiced this declaration of great principles and called upon the great Peace Conference to see to their enforcement. What will be the result of this protest? What action will be taken in the face of the objection of the delegates of the United States of America to the consideration of any of them? It is a fact that the delegation has done well. The resolutions were drawn by able diplomats and it is to be regretted that they will not be able in person to present them to the representatives of the civilized world. Certain it is as any thing can be that they will never be considered in a session of the Peace Conference. The newspapers of France no doubt gave them space in their news columns and with this, they must be content. If the daily press of this country handled the matter, it is news to us. Still, the effort must result in good and those of us contending for great principles will sadly turn away to wait for the presentation and developments of the next chapter. A POLITICAL ABSURDITY. That thousands of Democrates and alleged Democrates are "getting tired of their own cooking" is evident from the complaints now being voiced all over the country. Ex-Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas, "a dyed in the wool Democrat" has boldly left the Party as it is now constituted and is now looking with interest in the direction of some other party to which he can transfer his allegiance. Is a real Democrate Party, one with the Thomas Jefferson ideals now in exis'once? $ \mathrm{Th}_{0} $ disregard of the constitutional rights of the colored man has led to the constitutional disregard of the rights of the white one. The men, who were first, and foremost to denounce imperialism and a centralized form of government when they were out of office are now first and foremost in enforcing the decrees of a centralized form of government now that they are in office. The Richmond Va., Times-Dispatch of Sunday April 13th, 1919 voices the following complaint: In connection with the return of a large number of indictments in the United States District Court in this city it was remarked by Federal officials that with the ever increasing passage of laws by Congress the juris diction of the Federal court is becoming so wide that it is embracing many activities which were at one time confined to trials in the State tribunals. In this tendency of Congress to extend more and more the authority of the Federal government by restricting that of the States, our system of dual government is fast becoming a political absurdity and the time will come when the States will be divested of practically all that is valuable in the sovereignty which the founders of our government thought they had so securely safeguarded in the Constitution. Yet in the process of demolishing the citadel of States' rights, the Democratic party, founded by Thomas Jefferson to guard against just such assaults, has in recent years taken an active part through its representatives in Congress willingly joining with the Republicans in weakening its supports by showing a contempt for the whole some Limitations of the Constitution by the character of legislation, they have foisted upon the country. But the Democratic President and the Democratic Congress, so called is responsible for this condition of affairs. Constitutional limitations were over-ridden by segregation and "Jim Crow laws." Now this kind of nullification has been followed by another kind and august United State tribunals have been turned into petty police courts, with stately judges, no longer dealing with constitutional questions, but with the trial of cases that should be tried before magistrates. A feeling of disgust and derision pervades the court-rooms. United States District Attorneys are overworked and the United States judges are as usual underpaid for this increased labor. It continues: In their zeal for the enactment of legislation delimiting authority of the States, Democratic Representatives have vied with Republicans in scoffing at constitutional guarantees as sacred only to "men who are deficient in 'vision.' Not content with this, they are lending their support to the submission of an amendment to the Constitution which promises to succeed at the forthcoming special session of Congress that after its adoption will destroy the last vestige of vitality which now inheres in State sovereignty—the right to prescribe who may, or may not, vote in any election, however local and circumscripted in interest held in any State in the Union. Once this destructive principle is incorporated in the Constitution, the States will find themselves bound hand and foot, so to speak with no future power of resistance against whatsoever pernicious legislation a majority of Congress may see fit to impose upon them, how CARL VILLMORE PLANEL, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ever oppressive to their separate local interests and of noxious to their manners and customs. A Republican Congress has been elected to profit by the blunders of a Democratic one. What an opportunity is in store for the Republican Party of the nation, when President Woodrow Wilson retires from the White House of the nation! Colored people can regard with complacency the present situation. The time will come when the black men of the Southland will be accorded all of their rights and privileges by the white people of this same section and for this they will expect the loyal support of the black political brigade to restore conditions to a point where constitutional State Rights and privileges may once more be recognized and respected in this land. --- "THE AFFRONT TO JAPAN." The Washington, D. C., Post under the caption of, "The Affront to Japan," in its issue of the 14th inst. sayn: The League of nations commission of the peace conference has done a sorry piece of work for world peace and good will by permitting the question of equality between the white and yellow races to come to a direct issue, resulting in the rejection of Japan's amendment and the humiliation of the Japanese government and people. This was a question that need not have been raised. The world has enough trouble without inciting race hared. The peoples of the allied nations did not want this question raised. They have respect for Japan and the Japanese people, and recognize in them a truth-telling and honor-loving people who scrupulously fulfill their obligations. Japan is an ally of Great Britain and in this war has been an ally of the o her nations attacked by Germany. On her side, Japan has recognized the economic conditions in Caucasian countries and has refrained from pressing her laborers upon them. But when it was proposed to create a league of nations, to solidify inter national relations for all time, Japan very properly suggested that the league he based upon the principle of the entire equality of nations and just treatment of their nationals. Without equality and justice no league could or should exist. This is a plain, straight-forward statement of the questions at issue. But on which side did the American representative stand? The race question which has become acute in dealing with citizens of color in this country was ever-present over on the other side of the Atlantic and the nations that had virtually declared that they had entered upon a holy war, a veritable crusade for the triumph of right principles, ingloriously took to cover when the real issue was made and exposed their hypocrisy and deceit in dealing with this prosperous nation. The Washington Post continues: In the "authoritative" statement issued from Paris Saturday a statement that on its face does not speak for Japan it is admitted that the commission was "impressed by the justice of the Japanese claim." And then it was rejected! This has been the way of dealing with the colored folks over here, but the colored folks over here have no army and navy and national government of their own and the money with which to back their government. Japan has all of these things. They are a proud people. They voice with pride the cry. And if thou gavest, I am not peer to any lord in Scotland here, Lowland or highland, far or near, Lord Angus, thou hast lied. No intimation is given concerning the identity of the delegates who voted against Japan. The Japanese amendment is so just that we cannot believe there was American opposition to it. But whether the American vote was in favor of Japan or against her does not matter, since the rejection of the amendment compels Japan to consider her own interest, without regard to the identity of those who voted in her favor. There is now a breach between Japan and the nations that are represented at Paris. This breach is the direct result of the attempt to force through a league of nations on a constitution containing idealistic and impracticable plans for regulating the intercourse of nations. So far afflict have these efforts gone that the ad mission is now actually made that the framers of the league are forced to reject a provision that they recognize as just and equitable! Japan had no difficulty in associating with the nations at war against Germany. The impromptu league which defeated Germany did not raise the race question, nor did it try to force all members of the league to guarantee to one another their political independence and territorial integrity. Against the most formidable enemy that could come against it the impromptu league was triumphant. That was pretty good evidence that the arrangement was effective. If the league could knock down and disable Germany it could easily handle any other disturber. But this was not satisfactory to President Wilson and those who approved his idea that the peace-saving nations should be tied tightly together in a pledge. not to go to war. The Smuts plan for a league of nations was selected as the best of those present superior to the American plan and from that hour the peace conference has been in difficulties culminating now in a breach with Japan a faithful and peaceable ally. All of this argument in favor of Japan is argument in favor of the colored troops, who fought, bled and died upon the blood-stained battlefields of France. The Washington Post asks a most interesting question: What will Japan do? In order to obtain a reasonable answer to that question let an American ask himself what America would do if an assembly of international delegates refused to admit that the United States was an equal of other nations, or that Americans were entitled to just treatment. America would withdraw from any such assembly. If its delegates lacked the self-respect to take that action they would be lucky to escape lynching upon their return. The Japanese are not quite so explosive in their temper as Americans are and their withdrawal from the league of nations may be effected quietly. Nevertheless they will not sign a document which on the record constitutes a declaration of Japanese inferiority. It will be many a day before they forget Friday, April 11, 1919 at Paris. Perhaps the effort to go forward with the league will be maintained, in spite of this most unfortunate in cident, which is a coleman warning to desist. In that case other complications will arise, notably when the treaty reaches the U. 3. Senate and Americans are face to face with the proposal to commit them to a partnership in all the wars of the world from this time forth. The statement of the case is unique and impressive. Let us hope that its effect upon the American public will be as impressive as it is upon those students of thought, who have carefully studied its full import. Information comes that the Japanese ambassador at Washington is about to sail for Tokio. This is significant. He may not return until he has secured assurance that this race propaganda in this country which has proven so injurious to Japanese and colored American interests has been eliminated from the official Department of the government; and condemned from one end of this Republic to the other. President Wilson's open approval of the independence of the Philippine Islands is indicative that he does not wish to be required to maintain a large naval force on the other side of the world in case of hostilities. We deplore the situation of affairs. The colored people here are loyal. They believe that in dealing with the Japanese question just like the government has been in dealing with the black man's question a slow burning three fuse is at the end of the confa gration and the end is war. Still we voice our oft-repeated quotation: My country, may she always be right, But right or wrong, my country.

A. at Camp Sherman has won a record fos itself in welfare work, and the two buildings designated for colored men have done much to the credit of the insti tution. For a long while there was a con centrated effort on the part of the Colored Secretaries in furnishing amusement for the soldiers and it is impossible to put the results in writing. Now there are two buildings, "T" 75, which is run under the able direction of Mr. Charles E. Frey, a former Captain in the Ohio National Guard is in section "N." It was in this building that thousands of our men received their first lecture on how to measure up to the "Hun" and these lectures seems to have taken some effect, according to the reports from "Over There." Captain Frey according to his record has done a great work among our boys. During his nineteen months of faithful service he has never been too busy to speak words of encouragement and give valuable advice to those with army and family troubles. The "Y" furnishes programs rendered by entertainers from all over the state. Movies twice a week which furnishes great diversion. But one of the biggest factors in keeping up the moral is the different forms of athletics. This part of the activities is successfully carried on by Secretaries Alberts, Turner and T R. P. Petitjohn of Boston, Mass. Mr. Turner was formerly a clerk in the War De partment at Washington, D. C. Mr. Turner's co-operation has created an interest in athletics as never before and it can be well said that Mr. Turner made no mistake in choosing this great work. Mrs. Gler spoke to the men Sunday afternoon, giving the history of Christianity and the different stages through which it has passed. She told how Christianity has been preserved since the crucifixion of Christ to the present day. Dr. A. V. Gray, Director of the "Hostess House" has just returned from a three weeks trip to Louisville Ky., where she has been attending a conference of workers among colored people. Dr. Gray reports very encouraging conditions relative to the efforts of both races attempting to formulate plans whereby both races may be benefited. The beys are delighted to have Dr. Gray whom they call "mother" back. Among the distinguished visitors to the camp was Dr. Tonia R. Whippi c. practicing physician of Washington D. C. Dr. Whippi is delivering a series of lectures on social morality at schools and colleges throughout the country under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. She is now en route to Widerforce University. While here she was entertained at dinner by the colored nurses of the Base Hospital. This leaves me not singing the "army blues" which seems to be very popular these days. SCF, ARTHUR D. BOWENS. TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD. There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are more mor than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use $ \mathrm{o_{n}} $ your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomde that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the $ \mathrm{o_{n}} $ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seoby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seoby's Quinade and Seoby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send them the price and we will mall them to you.

REGULAR MERTING OF THE NE GRO BUSINESS LEAGUB The Richmond Negro Business Leagne moet in regular session at The Army and Navy elu Thursday evening the 10th with a largo atten daneo, Mr. B. A. Cephas, viee-prest- dotn, held the chair and the meeting moved in its customary smoothness na despatch. A report from the Committe, on a Dusiness survey of tho sity was received and Mr. J. 'T. Carter, Attorney at Law, commented on and thanked this committoo for the officiont manner in which it {s handling this work. ‘The committeo plans to get dotall ed information on overy Nogro bust- ness in tho city by having the propie. tors fill out a blank that is espeeial- ly designed for this purpose. When all the blanks are in the committee will tabulate and put all of this mat- ter in condensed form so as to haye definite — information from — which it may work in the future. Mr. Frank H, Hallion of the Bureau of Negro Keonomies was the speaker of tho. evening. Mr. Uallion took no subject but the burden of his talk was “Community Advertising." The speaker hag been identified with Lea- ue work for the last ten years in several localitfes and he seemed to speak with confidence concerning this work, confidence born of experience, He is very optimistic over the out look for the Richmond League. In leading up to the work of the local League Mr, Hatlion spoke as folléws “Booker Washington did a_ great service for his country and his race when he started the Tuskegee Norm- al and Industrial Institute down in Alabama. Tle rose to an eminence that well might be coveted by any man of any race. Ie weilded a wide and useful influenee for good over the entire world, T repeat that what he did at Tuskegee was a great feat, but when at Boston in 1900 he organ- ized the National Negro Business Teamte he made his master stroke. Mr. Washington saw years ago that if the Negro was to attain and maintain his status among the nat- ions of the earth he would have to do it just as every other that hag ever made any permanent progress—he would have to do it in the commer- cial world, And so it is that we have as an evidence of his great and good judement the Business League, oper- ating: through local leagues and in which [ have all my life taken a keen interest. ‘The local league is so constituted that it can readily lend itself to loeal problems without at any time losing ifs identity with the national organi- zation. We must work as a chamber of commerce or a board of trade and IT think it is high time for us here in Richmond to put forth some effort to encourage the establishment of business here among our people. Tam not unaware of what Rieh- mond has already done. It holds its record as the most progressive city in the Southland among colored peo- ple but with the recont awakening of the Negroes of Norfolk, Richmond has got to do something or her place will be taken by that city. Could we not set together in a large advertis- ing campaign and exploit Richmond as the best place in the country — for a colored man to live, and encourage those people who have money to in- j vest and who are looking for a loca. }tion to come to Richmond and cast their lots with us? Tam just. wonder ing in this connection if we could fet up such a campaign by asking the assistance of the newspaper inter- ests of the city. Mr. Mitchell of the Planet and Mrs, Walker of tho St. Iuke Ierald and all the other news: paper interests of the city could he persuaded to help. That is have ¢ kind of clearing house for the com- mercial end of our activities to be conducted through the Negro press o: tho city. Seeuro a good advertising man and pool tho interests of the sev eral newspapers and all of them come together for one supreme offort along this lino.” i | Mr. Hallion exprossed’ his confi: denee that the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce and like insti- tuitions among the while people and of the whito press of the elly could be elicited. “I would lke, ho sald, ‘to meet in conference the newspaper men in the city and all those who are in any way intorested in community advertising and talk over some such move looking toward definite action” ‘Tho speaker cited several instane- es of the good work he had seen ac- complished by local leagues over the catire South, and ia connection with the present world crisis ho said in conclusion “America has got to do her part in tho straightening out of the tangled affairs of the world. The Negro has got to do his part for his country and his race. We have come to the time in the history of | the ‘country, gentlemen, when something shoull be and must be done. With the help of Him who secs even the sparrow's fall and T hope, through the efforts of the Richnond Negro Business League, something Will be Done.” WANTED—500 agents to travel and sell Magnetic Cream liniment.
