Editor John Mitchell, Jr. QUESTION THE COLUMBUS DISCOVERY. The Doctor, for he asserts, the landing of slaves in this country was like the discovery of America by Columbus. In he quite sure that Columbia did discover the great America Continent? A discovery as I understand is the finding of that for which one is looking and not something one falls upon and dies without knowing that he has fallen upon it. Well Doctor, this is the ex act case of Columbus. He did not leave Spain looking for a country, but for a shorter way to India, which is in Asia and instead of going east, behold! he went due west, and got lost, flocated into Hispaniola; and because he did not know where he was, he called that, and other islands, the West Indies. THE SANCTIONING OF SLAVERY. The Doctor says he does not believe that God in any wise, sanctions slavery, yet he says he believes that it pleased God to make us slaves, that He might school us for service. Now Doctor, if it pleased God to make us slaves in order to get us into school, is not that a sanction of slavery? And the logic of it is, that He has had us there ever since, and that, Doctor, is three hundred years of schooling we have received from Him. Now Doctor, if this is not the conclusion we are to draw, what is it? A DISTINCTION WITH A DETERENCE. You listen to that all great men have been enchanted. Well, let that be so. Will you tell us which one of those men ever celebrated the date of their enchanted? Dr. Lewis it may be that Lilah, yourself, am not wiser than my teachers, yet I am now correcting some of the blunders and mistakes they made over three hundred years ago, when they brought humpback slaves into this country, and it may be, Doctor, that some one of those school boys you have with you there in Virginia, may be able to help you be that very important matter.

On last Saturday evening, thirty-five of the Buffington Vets left their peaceful camp, for Camp Bassens to bring back victory for their company. They arrived at Bassens 7:35 P. M. and at 8:15 the great bout began. We had three bouts—lost the first tied the second and won the third. The following men took an active part in the evenings contest: Oliver Branch, Patrick Edwards and Marvin Haskins.

LION'S DEN. F. C. Knight, Manager of the Athletic Association, was not satisfied at all with fifty-fifty. He desired to have all. He was advised by Sergeant Johnson to leave those babies alone, but he felt sure that he could bring the entire hundred percent with the baseball team, so he led Captain Robert Lewis of the baseball team in the lion's den. The whole camp was entirely upset because the Vets did not win the entire bouts, so when the hour came to leave for Bassens to play ball the Major was seen strolling through our camp, as if he were willing to do anything that would bring victory to his boys. Captain Vestal, Lleut, Miller and Lleut. Stearns were seen getting on board to accompany their boys. We arrived at Bassens, 1:45 and the game was called at 2:00. Buffington Vets made a good start. Our furious short stop Poindexter first at bat hit for two bases and managed to get to third and there he died, for none of his other comrades were ever able to climb as high in the game as he. In the eighth inning J. Dorsey, of Hampton, hit a single for one base. R. Scott, better known in Richmond as Bootsey, was sent in for a pinch hit, trying to get one score for the Vets. He made one of the prettiest sacrifice hits the world has ever known, advancing his man to second and made first safe and that was the end of Dorsey and Scott. Score: Bassens 9. Readers, you will have to read between the lines if you want to find out the score of the Vets. After the game was over Undertaker James A. Johnson asked F. C. Knight what kind of casket he would desire, for he saw death approaching him very rapidly. Knight gave him no reply. Later he said, "How do you feel, old boy?" ```markdown ``` L. J.

AGENTS WANTED. BEAUTY CULTURE IN ALL OF ITS BRANCHES TAUGHT BY MAIL, DIPLOMAS GIVEN. --- VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 27 RACE-COUNTRY-WORLD NEWS Dr. Harvey Johnson is Outspoken A Reply to Dr. Z. D. Lewis' Second Article in "The Plau:" Editor John Mitchell, Jr., Dear Sir—1 here and now, grant that Dr. Lewis and his school boys, have proven that the curse of slavery was introduced into this country. But that does not prove that there is any honor in celebrating that very sad and woeful event, which is the punishment I am going to establish, Dr. Lewis seems to have the idea that celebration makes a dishonorable cause honorable. But not so, Dr. The cause itself, must be honorable. You cannot celebrate the beginning of slavery without at the same time celebrating the operation of the system. QUESTION THE COLUMBUS DISCOVERY. The Doctor further asserts the landing of slaves in this country was like the discovery of America by Columbus. Is he quite sure that Columbus did discover the great American Continent? A discovery as I understand is the finding of that for which one is looking and not something one falls upon and dies without knowing that he has fallen upon it. Well Doctor, this is the ex act case of Columbus. He did not leave Spain looking for a country, but for a shorter way to India, which is in Asia and instead of going east, bohold! he went due west, and got lost, floated into Hispaniola; and because he did not know where he was, he called that, and other islands, the West Indies. THE SANCTIONING OF SLAVERY. The Doctor says he does not believe that God in any wise, sanctions slavery, yet he says he believes that it pleased God to make us slaves, that He might school us for service. Now Doctor, if it pleased God to make us slaves in order to get us into school, is not that a sanction of slavery? And the logic of it is, that He has and us there ever since, and that Doctor is we have hundred years of schooling we have received from Him. Now Doctor, if this is not the conclusion we are to draw, what is it? A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE. You inform us that all great races have been enslaved. Well, let that be so. Will you tell us which one of those races ever celebrated the date of their enslaughter? Dr. Lewis, it may be that I, like yourself, am not wiser than my teachers, yet I am now correcting some of the blunders and mistakes they made over three hundred years ago, when they brought human slavery into this country, and it may be, Doctor, that some one of those school boys you have with you there in Virginia, may be able to help you in that very important matter. INSISTS UPON ANOTHER DR. LEWIS LEADERSHIP. Doctor, I suggested in my former letter that since you did so much to lead out those members of the Convention who later formed the General Association, I now repeat the suggestion that you could not be better engaged than in leading them back again. Yes, Doctor Lewis, I am aware that we have been much divided here, for we have had three State Conventions to contend with. But $w_0$ only have two now, and I feel that after another year, we will only have one. Will Editor Mitchell accept my many thanks for the free use of the columns of The Planet?

APPEAL OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY Staunton, Va., May, 1910. —Dear Co-workers: A few more days are left us before we are called to meet together in our annual meeting in Roanoke, Va. The work is upon each of us and should move us to vigilance, activity and preparedness. Let us arouse ourselves and heed the call of duty. Roanoke is expecting us and making great preparation for our coming. It should be the aim to make this the banner meeting of our great Convention in attendance, helpfulness, inspiration and in raising money for the various interests, causes of our Convention. This can be done if we will do our work. Let us not wait as the custom of some of us the very eye of the meeting to collect the money begin now an make a creditable howing of the meeting. Conservative cooperation with enthusiastic awakening will bring us success. Too many of us fee that we have done our duty when we have built and paid for Churches and our Church expenses. Truly it is our imperative duty to send the Gospel to all parts of the earth. It is further enjoined upon us to prepare men and women for the field by educating them, as no one can serve well in this capacity without being trained. Thus we have set up our banner at the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Va. Will this Convention let it tra? in the dust? Heed its call. Do all you can to foster this work. President R. C. Woods and his faculty are expecting of us great things this year. Let them not be disappointed. That cause is awaiting our action, so let it be heeded by a hearty response. We hope to raise this year not less than $2,000. This is a very moderate sum considering our resources. All members of circles are asked to contribute $2.00. Life members not connected with a Circle are asked to contribute $2.00. Every Minister and friend is asked to give as much or more than one dollar. Pray and labor for success.

HOLDS TILL CANCELLED. (By Laurence Hills.) Paris, May 9.—The treaty with France under which the military forces of the United States can be called on to go to her assistance in the event of attack by Germany—described in these despatches on April 17 as a tremendous diplomatic victory for Premier Clementeau inasmuch as he wrested from the author of the League of Nations as alliances unproceded in American history—is looked upon by many of the President's best friends here as violative of the league principle as well as contrary to the President's speeches on the subject. If the proposed treaty is ratified these points will stand out: First—The treaty will commit the United States to send military aid immediately to France in the event of aggression. Second—The term of the treaty is indefinite or until cancelled by the league. Third—France by having veto power in the League Council through the unanimity agreement can prevent a cancellation of the agreement until it suits her. Fourth—A clause will make it doubly clear that the aggression must come from Germany and that the despatch of French troops into Germany before an attack as an alleged defensive measure would make its provisions, so far as the United States is concerned, inoperative. This clause is inserted to guard against French militarism of which President Wilson is distrustful. Fifth—The alliance is one sided in that it involves no reciprocal obligation on the part of France toward the United States. MISSION NOT CONSULTED. The reaction is now awaited by the President's friends here. The President has regarded his pledge throughout as an administration matter as distinguished from the peace treaty, the treaty itself not mentioning it. Consequently he took the ground that the America peace mission did not need to be consulted. Had the mission's views been requested he would have gotten 2 and possibly three votes against it, for these reasons: First—That it represents the widest departure yet from the traditional American policy and Washington's admonition to avoid entangling alliances. Second—That the President having represented America as the foremost champion of the League of Nations as an effective agency for preserving peace, by this act virtually has stultified himself and America so far as he has committed it by his policies here. That the alliance will evoke as much discussion in the Senate as the treaty itself is the feeling of many of the President's friends here who express great doubt as to the out come. On the other hand it is pointed out that Senator Lodge, by his utterances heretofore, almost committed himself in favor of just such a plan, and may rally Republican support. METROPOLITAN SPEECH RECALLED While it is true that the league covenant doesn't forbid such agreements as the President has bound himself to urge many here are recalling his speech in the Metropolitan Opera House September 27, when he said: "There can be no alliances or leagues or special understandings within the general or common family of nations of the league." This declaration is what is giving a special nightmare to the President's friends here as they look toward America. Premier Clemenceau plainly is relying on the publication of the exact terms of the treaty to allay misgivings in France concerning the country's future security against Germany; a matter that deeply concerns all Frenchmen just now. It represents the French Premier's greatest stroke and is described by diplomats here as a diplomatic victory of the first magnitude. Perusal of the treaty will show that it is not in this respect alone that France's "Tiger" has won in his contests with the American President which began with the first meeting of the $ \mathrm{tw}_{0} $ and of which the battleground was the famous fourteen points. As diplomats here view it, it was a battle between facts and idealism and the treaty marks a victory for the former so far as France is concerned. If you would be successful learn to save.

FARMVILLE, VA., May 12.—In spite of the inclement weather Sunday was a glorious day in the churches of the city. The Sunday School at 10 A. M. with the Assistant Superintendent P. H. Hilton in charge was largely attended. The lesson was beautifully catechised by the pastor, Rev Wiley. Interesting remarks were made by Mr. C. O. Hilton. Mr. Hilton has been recently discharged from the U. S. Army holding the rank of First Lieutenant and will speak at the First Baptist Church, Sunday night, May 18. All are invited to come and hear him. At 11:30 Rev. Wiley occupied the pulpit and discoursed from Proverbs 6:6. Theme, "Consider the Ant Thy Sluggard and Be Wise." At 3:00 o'clock the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows had their Thanksgiving Services. They were well attended, Rev. Wiley delivered the Thanksgiving Sermon, which was indeed helpful and inspiring to the Order. After the sermon the master of ceremonies, Mr. W. E. Hill introduced Mrs. Kate, Wiley, who in return gave the audience a very timely and interesting paper, "United We Stand." Mrs. Maria Casay spoke of the faithfulness of Mrs. Amanda Mathews who departed this life November 4 last. At the evening service Rev. Wiley spoke to the mothers. His text was found in $i_n$ the Psalms, "Forsake No Thy Mother When She is Old." The sermon was enjoyed by all. RACE STREET CHURCH Sunday was a high day with the Race Street Church. The Sabbath School was well attended. Rev. Frank Ellis, with his corn of teachers assisted by Miss A. M. Robinson, the State Supervisor of Home Economies are doing good work. At 11:00 o'clock the pastor, Rev. Jacob Randolph went down in the pool and baptized as many as were willing to trust in Him. 'A large and attentive crowd had gathered to witness the scene. At 11:30 the pastor proceeded to preach from the nineteenth chapter of Luke. Theme, "Make Haste and Come Down." The choir rendered splendid music, with Mrs. Mary White presiding at the organ. A good collection by Deacon Weldon Scott, of the First Church and Deacon Conner Foster of Midway Baptist Church. At 8:00 o'clock the Church was packed to witness the ordination of Deacon Henry Scott and Thomas Stokes. The pastor and two deacons from the following Churches were invited: First Baptist, Farmville, Zion Hill, Mercy Seat. The pastor preached from Acts 6:12. Theme, "And they stirred up the people." The right hand of fellowship was extended by Deacon Alien and Hill. The charge to the Deacons, by Deacon P. Morton of Zion 1611; ordination prayer by Deacon Creed Cosby, of Green Creek Baptist Church. The collection was taken up for Sister Queen Miller, who made a strong plea for the orphans home, of which she has charge. The total amount for the May was $45. The Lord's Supper was then administered. BEULAH A. M. E. CHERCH Mother's Day was beautifully observed at Beulah A. M. E. Church Sunday. Rev. J. K. Augustus, the pastor spoke to quite an appreciative audience at 11:30 A. M. Text Isaiah 66:13. "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you." Subject, "A Message to the Motherless." The sermon was soul stirring and enjoyed by all present. At 3:30 P. M. the Junior Leaguers were out in full. Superintendent, Mrs. M. J. Augustus led in the discussion of the topic which was beautifully explained. The League is growing and bearing fruit. Services, at 8 P. M., were well attended. Pastor spoke from 1 Samuel the first chapter, on the life of Hannah, showing how she became, "A wise and righteous mother." He beautifully described her life and told the mothers present to follow her example. Miss Blanche Palce, a successful teacher in Bedford City is home. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence P. Hilton are house from Washington, D. C. Mrs. Carrie Jackson is home after spending several weeks in Charleston W. Va. with her sister, Mrs. Susie Vaughan, who has been seriously ill. Mr. Herman T. Vaughan, of New York held a dying visit to his mother Mrs. N. C. Vaughan last week. He left on Thursday accompanied by his niece, Herman B. Vaughan. Mrs. Kate Moseley entertained the Ladies' Ari Club at the Ideal Confectionery on last Friday night. After an hour of needle work the business meeting took place. The officers for the ensuing year were elected, which were as follows: President, Mrs. Pearl Madden; Vice-President, Mrs. Josephine Foster; Secretary, Mrs. Mary Scott; Treasurer, Mrs. Vijola Lancaster. A repast of dainty refreshments were served, after which the club and friends were favored with selections by the Polk Miller Quartet. The jolly crowd then dispersed, expressing to the hostess as having spent a large evening. The remaining of Mr. James Lipscomb who died in New Rochelle, N. Y. last Tuesday were brought to his home for burial. The funeral services were conducted at his home in Cumberland County, on Saturday amid a large concourse of friends and the interment was in the family burrying ground. To mourn their loss, he leaves a devoted mother, two brothers and one sister, wife, three children and a host of relatives and friends. TREATY COMMITS AMERICA BUT CONTAINS NO RECTPROCAL PLEDGE HOLDS TILL CANCELLED. (Ry Laurence Hills.) Paris, May 9.—The treaty with France under which the military forces of the United States can be called on to go to her assistance in the event of attack by Germany—described in these despatches on April 17 as a tremendous diplomatic victory for Premier Clemenceau inasmuch as he wrested from the author of the League of Nations as alliances unpredated in American history—is looked upon by many of the President's best friends here as violative of the league principle as well as contrary to the President's speeches on the subject. If the proposed treaty is ratified these points will stand out: First—The treaty will commit the United States to send military aid immediately to France in the event of aggression. Second—The term of the treaty is indefinite or until cancelled by the league. Third—France by having veto power in the League Council through the unanimity agreement can prevent a cancellation of the agreement until it suits her. Fourth. A clause will make it doubly clear that the aggression must come from Germany and that the despatch of French troops into Germany before an attack as an alleged defensive measure would make its provisions, so far as the United States is concerned, imperative. This clause is inserted to guard against French militarism of which President Wilson is distrustful. Fifth. The alliance is one sided in that it involves no reciprocal obligation on the part of France toward the United States. MISSION NOT CONSULTED. The reaction is now awaited by the President's friends here. The President has regarded his pledge throughout as an administration matter as distinguished from the peace treaty, the treaty itself not mentioning it. Consequently he tk ok the ground that the America peace mission did not need to be consulted. Had the mission's views been request ed he would have gotten 2 and possibly three votes against 1, for these reasons; First—That it represents the wid est departure yet from the traditional American policy and Washington's obligation to avoid entangling alliances. Second—That the President having represented America as the foremost champion of the League of Nations was an effective agency for preserving peace, by this act virtually has stultified himself and America so far as he has committed it by his policies here. That the alliance will evoke as much discussion in the Senate as the treaty itself is the feeling of many of the President's friends here who express great doubt as to the out come. On the other hand it is pointed out that Senator Lodge, by his utterances heretofore, almost committed himself in favor of just such a plan, and may rally Republican support. METROPOLITAN SPEECH RECALLED. While it is true that the league covenant doesn't forbid such agreements as the President has bound himself to urge many here are recalling his speech in the Metropolitan Opera House September 27, when he said: "There can be no alliances or beginnings or special understandings within the general or common family of nations of the league." This declaration is what is giving a special nightmare to the President's friends here as they look toward America. Premier Clemenceau plainly is relying on the publication of the exact terms of the treaty to allay misgivings in France concerning the country's future security against Germany; a matter that deeply concerns all Frenchmen just now. It represents the French Premier's greatest stroke and is described by diploma's here as a diplomatic victory of the first magnitude. Forensal of the treaty will show that it is not in this respect alone that France's "Tiger" has won in his contexts with the American President which began with the first meeting of the tow and of which the battleground was the famous fourteen points. As diplomats here view it, it was a battle between facts and ideals and the treaty marks a victory for the former so far as France is concerned. If you would be successful learn to save.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD There are $o_0$ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor $o_0$ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair toones. In deciding what to use $o_1$ your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seech's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes $th_0$ 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 Quinad, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby'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 fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your dreggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

SATURDAY. ........MAY 17, 1919 HARRY SMITIS ANTL-LYNCHING LAW, The National Association for the Advancomen 6 Colbrol ycoplo: hes been advocating the enactment of an antilynehing low in the State of Ohio and it has declared that it will hold the members of the Republican fesleiuve’ sdasoncila. btioald lial body fail to pass the measure recent- ly introduced in that body. Now comes Hon, Harry CG. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette and an ex- member of the Ohio legislature with the statement that an anti-lynehing law is already upon the statute books of that State, introduced and champ- joned by himself and now in force anid feet, Ho rightly interprets the attempt fo enact another law as meaning that the one he introduced does not cover fully the ground it was intended to cover. While wo hardly seo the need of any contention in this matter and the enactment of another law from another angle could hardly do any harm, it seems to us that Mr. Smith performed his duty and gave the citizens of Ohio a law that will stand the test of the courts. If the Nation- al Association for the Advancement of Science can secure the pasa- sage of somo law that will make the officials of Ohio do their duty under the Smith statute, it seems that all parties will bo satisfied. In Ohio it seems that they have enough law and not enough of the enforcement of the laws that they al- ready have both as to racial discrimt- nations anl the lynching of colored citizens. {ROUBLE AMONG THE COLORED PROPLE. ‘The colored people are now witness ing the embarrassing spectacle of 4 “war among colored leaders.” Of course, Hon, Emmett J. Scott will claim that he is not fighting and that he is not a party to any warfare, but it is nevertheless a fact that his friends are fighting for him and he ts in close touch with his friet.ds. Dr. R. R. Moton will say the same thing, but he too is in the fray under the same conditions that apply to Hon. Emmett J. Scott. Both of these distinguished leaders were trained under the late Booker 'T. Washington, That able leader never took direct notice of his traducers or assailants but he set others on them and there was a merry “setto” down the road behind him, while Dr. Washington “went marching on” ap- parently oblivious of the hot times that he had left behind. Bat the cause of all of this is that brainy leader, Doctor W. EB. B, DuBois, who has recently returned from the front in France and who is vividly portraying the awful conditions that existed over there. ‘That he was badly treated himself goes withoutisaying and that ho char ges much of it to secret action of Hon, Emmett J. Scott or rather to hig fail ure to advocate cither him or his plang is plainly evident to any one who has taken the time to road all that ho has had tho hardihood to say. Dr. Du Bois is now conducting a cam- paign, better known as lectures and addresses in which ho is using the rod of condemnation and is sparing not. Te seems to have brought back with him a gas-‘mask and he pays littlo or no attention to the gas of public attack by his traducers and critics. “We have eon wondering what all of this kind of vituperation means and what 00d will come of this at: tempted destruction of Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Ala. and Hon. Fmmett J. Scott of the same local ity, These gentlemen aro handicapped in their positions and in their attt. tude and already thoy have gonc further than we over thought thoy weuld dare to go, while occupying their present positions. ‘Dr. Moton fs dependent upon white ' men's charity not only for his own sub- sistence, but also for the existence of the great school that he represents. Ho was trained in an insect itn that put a premium upon servility. “rhe students there are crained to serve. ‘They are supposed to come from the masses and not from the favored few, who aspire to attend the highor universities Hike Harvard, sale Howard and like insUdutions of learn ing. ‘The schools of this kind and character are doing a grand work, a Work tat is essentitlly necessary. in the upiiit of the masses. SUI, schools of vs type as a rule do not produce men of the Du Bois, Harry ©. Smith, William Monroe ‘Trotter, J. Millon Waldvon snd the W. If, Jernigan type, It is essential- ly unfair to expect the producis of these industrial schools to measure up to the stindard set by these great in stitutions of learning where the Uruths of history and ygreat principles constitute the foundation stones up. on which they are built, For our part, we have been surprises 16 see Scott and Moton do as well as they have done. Both of them seem, to have seen a light, so to speak and to have groped their way in {he direct- ion of this light. We think then (hat i would be well for Dr. Du Bois Marry ©. Smith and others to be charitable in these matters and not to expect the impossible from men of (his type Th may be true that Dr, Du Bois is right in saying what he has said about them, bat contd he have done better had he accepted a position sub Jeet to the same limitations and cur- tailmen: of powers? Both Moton and Scott and Scott and Moton aro in Couch with an administration that is anliNegro. Just how they have. se, cured the recognition for colored folks that they havo seetred has. always been a puzzling mystery to us, ‘The question is not how much they have not done, but how much they have done to help us, We mean to say by (his that if the criticisms showered upon the heads of these helpless colored men wero aimed at the Negro hating white men, responsible for them, we take it that we could get much furth-| er on down the road of material progress and the — securing of, our rights as citizens of this Repub- | lic. If we have said anything to of-| fend, we are sorry, Our main aim and purpose iy to (ell the Guth, tho whole truth and nothing — but the truth.. Both Moton and Scott aro tho “vietims" of a system," an industrial system. Both have been overtrained in this field of legitimate endeavor. Tt was never expected that. oither of them would bo thrust into tho: limolight of statesmanship and both of them have done, in view of their industrial training remarkably, well, Soian. THE TROUBLY IN PARIS. | ‘Tho German government has an- nounced that the peace terms of the Allies are impossible and that. they cannot authorize the signing of the same. They declaro that they violate the essential principles of the terms of the armistice and are contraiy to the Fourteen Points in the celebrated letter of President Woodrow Wilson. It is now known that in some of the diseussions, President Wilson has taken this view of the situation. ‘The nations of tho Old World are all, (0 uso a homely expression “tarr- ed with the samo stick.” ‘The ideal- ism of the distinguished American President has heen rudely shattered and he has been “a stranger in a s'range land” with starnge people who havo strange ideas. When he comes home, he will be “a sadder, but wiser man.” ‘Tho thing to do now fs to bring our troops home ant let those contending eloments “fry in their own grease” so to speak. | Tt is becoming plainly evident that counter revolutions aro also brewing in the countries of tho Allies. An attompt to uso military pressure up ‘on the present German Government, which Government ropresents all that is antagonistic to the old im- perialistic regime will unquestionably bo atterided with dire consequences. There cannot bo any moro organized fighting either by the Teutonic or by the British Allies. | ‘The world wants poace.

Now comes Hon, Marry ©. Smiih, editor of the Cleveland Gazette and an ex: Member of the Ohie legistature with the statement that an anti-tynehing law is already upon the statute hooks of Mat State, introduced and champ. joned by himself and now in force and effect. He rightly interprets the attempt fo enact another Iw as meaning that the one he introduced does not cover fully the ground il was istended to cover. While we hardly see the need of any contention in this matter and the enactment of another law from another angle could hardiy do any harm, it seems to us that Mr. Smith performed his duty and gave the cilizens of Ohio a law that will stand the fest of the courts. If the Nation- al Association for the Advancement of Science can secure the pasa sage of some law that will make the officials of Ohio do their duty under the Smith statute, it seems that all parties will he satisfied. In Ohio it seems thal they have enough law and not enough of the enforcement of the laws that they al veady have hoth as to racial diserimt nations and the lynching of colored citizens. | TROUBLE AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE, ‘The colored people are now witness ing the embarrassing spectacle of a “war among colored leaders." Of course, Hon, Emmett J. Seott will claim that he is not) fighting and that he is not a party to any warfare, Dut it is nevertheless a facet that his friends are fighting for him and he is in close touch with his frietds Dro R. R. Moton will say the same thing, but he too is in the fray under the same conditions that apply to Hon. Emmett J. Scott. Both of these distinguished leaders were trained under the lite Booker 1T, Washington. ‘That able leacer never took direct novice of his traducers or assailants but he set others oy them and there wats a merry “setto"™ down the road behind him, while Dr, Washington “went marching: on" ap- parently oblivious of the hot times that he had left behind. But the cause of all of this is that brainy loader, Doctor W. KB. B, Dubois, who has recently returned from the front in France and who is vividly portraying the awful conditions. that existed over there. ‘That he was badly treated himself seg withoutsaying and that ho char kes much of it lo secret action of Hon, Emmett J, Scott or rather to his fail ure to advocate either him or his plang is plainly evident to any one who has taken the time to read all that ho has had the hardihood to say. Dr. Du_ Bois is now conducting a ¢cam- paign, better known as lectures and addresses in which ho is using the rod of condemnation and is sparing not. Ife scems to have brought back with him a gasmask and he pays little or no attention to tho fas of public attack by his traducers and erities. We have been wondering what. all of this Kind of vituperation means and what good will como of this at- femmpted destruction of Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Ala., and Ton. Emmett J. Scott of the samo local: ity, These gentlemen are handicapped in their positions and in their attl- tude and already they havo gono further than we over thought they weuld dare to go, while occupying their present positions. Dr. Motoa is dependent upon white men's charity not only for his own sub. sistence, but also for the existence of the great school thal he represenrs Ho was trained in an insuat itn That pur a premium uj seevil ty The students there are rained to serve. ‘They are supposed to come from the asses and not from the favored fou, who asyare to attend the higher universities like Harvard, sale Howard and Uke bistituians of bean figs. ols of this Kind aud haraeter are dohiy a grand work, a work tit fy essentially necessary” in the up of the masses, SUI, sehoals of Uns type as a rite Ha not produce men of she Du Bots Marry C.

For ony Par. we fave heen surprised (6 see Scott and Moton do as well as they have dane, Both of them seam, to Tse seem a Tight, so to speak: and to have groped their way in the direct: ion of UUs Tight, We think then that it would be well for Dr. Du Reis Marry C.

Teonmay he tre that Dr. Dar Rois ix right In sayimg what he has said about then, bat ewald he have done Netter had he accepted a position sub Jeet to the game Himitations and eur tailmen: of powers? Bork Moton and Seott and) Seott and Moton are in touch with an administration that is antiNesro. Just how they have se cured the reensnition for catored fotks that Uhey have secured has always been a puzzling mysiery to us. ‘The question is nol how mnteh they have not done, but how mueh they have done to help us, We mean to say by this that it ine eritieisms showered upon the jeads of these helpless colored men were aimed at the Negro hating white men , responsille for them, we take it that we could get much furth-| er on down the read) of material progress andthe securing of our rights as citizens of this Repub: lie. If we have said anything to of! fend, we are sorry. Our main aim and purpose fg ty tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing bat the (ruth. Both Moton and Seott are the “victims” of a system," an industrial aystem. Hoth have been overtrained Im this field of legitimate endeavor. Tk was never expected that either of them would be thrust into the Himolight of stalesmanship and. both of them have done, in view of theit Industrial Waining remarkably well. | Seian. | THE TROUBLE IN PARIS. Tho German government has an- nounced thar the peace terms of the MMlies are impossible and that they cannot authorize the signing of the same, ‘They declare that they violato the essential principles of the terms of the armistice and are contrary to the Fourteen Points in the celebrated letter of President Woodrow Wilson I is now known that in some of the discussions, President Wilson has taken this view of the siimation, ‘The nations of the Old World are all, to uso a homely expression “tarr- ed with the same stick.” ‘The ideal- ism of the distinguished American President has been rudely shattered and he has been “a stranger ina s range land” with starnge people who have strange ideas, When he comes home, he will be “a sadder, but wiser man.” ‘Tho thing 10 do now is to bring our troops home ant let those contending eloments “fry in their own grease" so to speak. It is becoming plainly evident that counter revolutions are also brewing in the countries of tho Allies. An attempt to use military pressure up on the present German Government, which Goyernment represents all that is antagontstic to the old im- perialistic regime will unquestionably ho attended with dire consequences. There cannot bo any moro organized fighting cither by the ‘Tentonio or by the British Allies. The world wants peace. President Wilson evidently realizes this for tho troops are coming home and the In- dications are that all of them will be on this side of the Atlantic Ocean by next September. N. A, A. ©.
