THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 29 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY MAY 31, 1919 THE COMING TER-CENTENARY REUNION MEETING WILL BE CARGELY ATTENDED. Bear Ceworkers. Pursue it to call your attention to the near approach of our Baptist Kendall meeting, which takes place at Richmond, Va., July 20 and continue until August 8, 1919. A feature of this meeting will be the Inaugural Centennial Celebration of the founding of the first Neptune in the country. In the year 1919, when upon a Dutch war vessel twenty members of our race were brought to teal town, Va. It was from this point that Neptune began scattered over the United States and Canada. Therefore, this occasion should be of more than ordinary interest to members of our race all over this country, especially those living in Virginia. A HEARTY WELCOME TO ALL NORTHVILLE BAYCASTERS A this meeting will be held under the auspices of the Baptist Memorial Association of Virginia, we most cordially invite representatives from every Baptist Church, Sunday School Association, Convocation and Mission Society in Virginia. We ardently hope that the present host of Baptist Ministries and Christian Worries who were born in Virginia and are now living in other States of this country will return home during this great meeting and enjoy with us the benefits which this occasion affords. A most hearty welcome awaits them. From North, South, East and West, let them come back to old Virginia. THE GOAL IS $25,000.00 Our financial post is $25,006 and we must by all means reach it, as this amount is needed to meet the present demands of our work. It was Judson, who said: "Attempt great things for God and expect great things from God." In comparison with our past financial efforts the above stated amount may be considered great, but not too much so for the resources upon which it is our privilege to draw. What of our great churches? What of our large and flourishing Sunday Schools? What of our wide awake women's work? What of our progressive B. Y. P. U. organizations? When we consider these streams of finance, which will pour their contents into our common receptacle at our coming meeting, the goal as set by us is of easy accomplishment. God will help, if we try. Help us with graces, from on high. GIBBON'S ARMY INSPIRES US TO VICTORY Of Gideon's conquering army it was said, "They stood every man in his place around and about the camp." By individual and cooperative effort they won the victory. In this day when victory is on every tongue, when the earth rings out its joyful notes and the very air around us is redolent with its songs we must not let the sooty blackness of failure besmirch and mar the ermine whiteness of our banner nor eclipse its scintillating stars which represent the triumphant conflicts of other years. But despite all opposing forces we must win the victory. We can do so only by individual and cooperative effort by every member of our organization, every individual must feel that he or she is responsible for the success of our coming meeting, or for its failure as the case may be. We must all stand or fall together. NO PLACE FOR SLACKERS OR SPEAKERS IN OUR RANKS. Behind in mind that shackers, shirkers, hickers and sohere heads are undesirable members of this great army of Christian workers. We further state that church dobbies, book salaries, lodging, weather, etc., should not be given as an excuse for failure to make a soitable showing at the coming meeting. In the college of the generals (committed) the battle has been wisely planned and a certain amount has been appropriated to each alliative body of the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Each Church, Sunday School, Missionary Circle and R. Y. P. U. organization will fill an honorable place in our ranks only by a faithful performance of duty. ECCLESTICAL MONSTROSPIFTIES AND MINISTERIAL WEAKLINGS. Amount in today there is an evil under the sun. There are to be seen many ecclesiastical monasteries there are churches whose arms or auxiliaries are stronger and larger than the body of the church. When the Sunday School or Women's Mis- ```markdown ``` every Sunday rain, more money for farm bills and education than the church of which they are only the army that Church presents a very possibly inevitable. It is a mon- strous It is a case of the arm labor larger than the man. Each Churchies are rarely ever bed posted by wife, and strong lead set but by an unaccountable accident of wielding. Like the apostle ev every real pastor should be a whis- man or builder, seeking at all times to rid the Church of spiritual and cultural deformities. GOLEN DUTY OF THE PASTOR TO COLLECT GOD'S MONEY. It is sometimes the case that some bishop has to remind the pastor of his duty to raise money for various objects of the association of which the Church is a member. This might go so to be. The pastor is God meant to look after God's business, to collect God's money, to push his cause in the world. He should be ever mindful of his mission. Some of the most brilliant minds of our race will be heard in this meeting. A fortune of good things is in store for all who may attend our great meeting. As in the case of modest Karie, all roads lead to Richmond. Use on the word. On to Richmond to the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Z. D. LEWIS. President Baptist General Association of Virginia. The naval seablue N.1 has made the crew the Wintle and it is now awaiting favorable weather in order to reach Plymouth, Furland. Mr. Justice Brandeels, who is a Hobrew, has gone over to Versailles to test it. Allied arrocties practiced upon the Jews in Poland. Richmond was $37,000 shy in the amount to be subscribed for the Salvation Army. Villa is causing much trouble to the Carranza Government in Mexico. He has cut the Mexican Central Railroad and the government cannot send troops to relieve the beloaguered garrison in the northern section. The Governor of Texas has refused permission to the Mexican Government to cross that State in going to the relief of the Mexican troops. The United States Senate Committee on Woman Suffrage has reported favorably the House resolution for the submission of the question to the States. The German plenipotentiaries at Paris have declined to sign the peace treaty submitted by the Allies and have submitted a counter proposal. They claim that the Allies have violated the armistice agreement and President Wilson's fourteen points. The colored troops in Europe will be home by next July. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, in order to get advantage of the reduced rates to Danville, Va. has postponed its session until July 15, 1919. The Republicans in the United States Senate succeeded last Wednesday in organizing the body with Senator Bolse Penrose as chairman of the Finance Committee and Senator Warren as chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The Republican House of Representatives has decided to probe war conditions and war expenditures. This is a "dig" at the Democrats. William Williams, mess cook and Jackson Clark, wardroom boy, both colored soldiers, were drowned off Hald Head Island, Southport, N. C. and Wednesday while bathing. They were caught by an undertow and carried out to sea. The Good Rends Association is subcontracted to retract a portion of the Virginia Legislature despite Governor Dale's refusal to call one.

Ascher Brothers' Verdict of the Eternal Magdalene. "Just contracted for the 'Eternal Magdalene' to play our entire circuit, twenty houses. When more producers awaken to the fact that it is better to have forty-five hundred feet of drama with speedy action than six or more reels that drag and are unconvincing, everybody concerned will be better off. It is the kind of a picture that human beings like to see because, it depicts things as they really are." See the Eternal Magdalene at the Globe, Theatre, Sunday afternoon and night, June 8, 1999.

TIME IS FLEETING—KEEP POSTED --- VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 29 (Great, Speakers, On the Program Dear Co-workers: Permit me to call your attention to the near approach of our Baptist Reunion meeting, which takes place at Richmond, Va., July 30 and continues until August 3, 1919. A feature of this meeting will be the Jubilee Ter-centenary Celebration of the landing of the first Negroes in this country in the year 1619, when upon a Dutch war vessel twenty members of our race were brought to Jamestown, Va. It was from this point that Negroes have been scattered over the United States and Canada. Therefore this occasion should be of more than ordinary interest to members of our race all over this country, especially those living in Virginia. A HUARTY WELCOME TO ALL VIRGINIA BAPTISTS. As this meeting will be held under the auspices of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, we most cordially invite representatives from every Baptist Church, Sunday School Association, Convention and Missionary Society in Virginia. We ardently hope that the great host of Baptist Ministers and Christian Workers who were born in Virginia and are now laboring in other States of this country will return home during this great meeting and enjoy with us the benefits which this occasion affords. A most hearty welcome awaits them. From North, South, East and West, let them come back to old Virginia. THE GOAL IS $25,000.00 Our financial goal is $25,000 and we must by all means reach it, as this amount is needed to meet the present demands of our work. It was Judson, who said: "Attempt great things for God and expect great things from God." In comparison with our past financial efforts the above stated amount may be considered great, but not too much so for the resources upon which it is our privilege to draw. What of our great churches? What of our large and flourishing Sunday Schools? What of our wide awake women's work? What of our progressive B. Y. P. U. organizations? When we consider these streams of finance which will pour their contents into our common receptacle at our coming meeting, the goal as set by us is of easy accomplishment. God will help, if we try. Help us with grace from on high. GUDDON'S ARMY INSPIRES US TO VICTORY. Of Gldoon's conquering army it was said, "They stood every man in his place around and about the camp." By individual and cooperative effort they won the victory. In this day when victory is on every tongue, when the earth rings out its joyful notes and the very air around us is redolent with its songs we must not let the sooty blackness of failure besmirch and mar the ermine whiteness of our banner nor eclipse its scintillating stars which represent the triumphant conflicts of other years. But, despite all opposing forces we must win the victory. We can do so only by individual and cooperative effort by every member of our organization, every individual must feel that he or she is responsible for the success of our coming meeting, or for its failure as the case may be. We must all stand or fall together. NO PLACE FOR STACKERS OR SHIRKERS IN OUR RANKS. Bear in mind that slackers, shirkers, kickers and sore-heads are undesirable members of this great army of Christian workers. We further state that church debts, back salaries, bad weather, etc. should not be given as an excuse for failing to make a creditable showing at the coming meeting. In the college of the generals (committee) the battle has been wisely planned and a certain amount has been apportioned to each affiliating body of the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Each Church, Sunday School, Missionary Circle and B. Y. P. U. organization will fill an honorable place in our ranks only by a faithful performance of duty. ECOCLESISTICAL MONSTROSITIES AND MINISTERIAL WEAKLINGS, Amongst us today there is an evil under the sun. There are to be seen many ecclesiastical monstrosities there are churches whose arms or auxiliaries are stronger and larger than the body of the church. When the Sunday School or Women's Mis- sionary Society raises more money for missions and education than the Church of which they are only the arms; that Church presents a very unsightly spectacle. It is a monstrosity. It is a case of the arm being larger than the man. Such Churches are rarely ever led or pastored by wis₀ and strong leaders; but by an unaccountable accident of weaklings. Like the apostle every real pastor should be a wise master builder, seeking at all times to rid the Church of spiritual and ecclesiastical deformities. SOLEMN DUTY OF THE PASTOR TO COLLECT GOD'S MONEY. It is sometimes the case that some layman has to remind the pastor of his duty to raise money for various objects of the association of which his Church is a member. This ought not so to be. The pastor is God's agent to look after God's business, to collect God's money, to push His cause in the world. He should be ever mindful of his solemn charge. Some of the most brilliant minds of our race will be heard at this meeting. A feast of good things is in store for all who may attend our great meeting. As in the case of ancient Rome, all roads lead to Richmond. Pass on the word. On to Richmond to the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Z. D. LEWIS, President Baptist General Association of Virginia. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The naval seaplane NC 4 has made the trip across the Atlantic and it is now awaiting favorable weather in order to reach Plymouth, England. Mr. Justice Brandeis, who is a Hobrew, has gone over to Versailles to investigate the alleged atrocities practiced upon the Jews in Poland. Richmond was $37,000 shy in the amount to be subscribed for the Salvation Army. Willa is causing much trouble to the Carranna Government in Mexico. He has cut the Mexican Central Railroad and the government cannot send troops to relieve the beleaguered garrison in the northern section. The Governor of Texas has refused permission to the Mexican Government to cross that State in going to the relief of the Mexican troops. The United States Senate Committee on Woman Suffrage has reported favorably the House resolution for the submission of the question to the States. The German plenipotentiaries at Paris have declined to sign the peace treaty submitted by the Allies and have submitted a counter proposal. They claim that the Allies have violated the armistice agreement and President Wilson's fourteen points. The colored troops in Europe will be home by next July. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, in order to get advantage of the reduced rates to Danville, Va. has postponed its session until July 15, 1919. The Republicans in the United States Senate succeeded last Wednesday in organizing the body with Senator Bolse Penrose as chairman of the Finance Committee and Senator Warren as chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The Republican House of Representatives has decided to probe war conditions and war expenditures. This is a "dig" at the Democrats. William Williams, mess cook and Jackson Clark, wardroom boy, both colored sailors, were drowned off Bald Head Island, Southport, N. C. last Wednesday while bathing. They were caught by an undertow and carried out to sea. The Good Roads Association is endeavoring to get a session of the Virginia Legislature despite Governor Davis' refusal to call one. He told them they could go ahead. Harry G. Hawker and Maackenzie Grieve have reached England after having traveled one thousand miles across the Atlantic in a Sopwitt acroplane. They had been given up as dead. The Ministers Conference The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity, meeting at the Second Baptist Church, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, pastor, will be favored with the presence of the white Baptist Conference in a joint session next Monday, 11:30 sharp. Brethren, please be on time.

For sometime she had been in poor health and early last Fall she went to Asheville, N. C. that she might regain her health. All was done that could be done but the end came as mentioned above, in the presence of her sisters and friends. Before her death she assured them of her faith and confidence in Christ, in whose name she was baptized nineteen years ago by Rev. Jenkins. She was 29 years old at the time of her demise. The body rested in front of the rostrum in a beautiful white casket on the cover of which and underneath were many beautiful bouquets given by friends who knew her and learned to love her. Rev. C. T. Taylor, the pastor, after lining hymn 625, read a portion of the fifteenth chapter of I Corinthians beginning at the fifteenth verse. Rev C. R. Brown offered prayer. Then the 357th hymn was lined by the pastor and the choir sang. Rev. Taylor, the pastor selected as a text, Romans 8:37. He spoke of the struggle one has from the time they become known to the grave, with the greatest enemy to conquer being themselves. He called attention to the fact that the deceased regularly attended the church and contributed willingly to the support of the Gospel and that he felt sure of her continued confidence in God. The palebearers were: Dr. R. J. Wilson, Mr. Handy Douglas, Mr. Herman Perry, Mr. Leroy Allen, Dr. Dautzer and Dr. T. Gallant. The relatives of the deceased in attendance at the funeral were the father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Roberts, Mrs. M. E. Russell, of Columbia, S. C., Mrs. Julia Ray, of Montgomery, Ala., Mrs. Bertha Bass of Wilmington, N. C. and the baby girl, Miss Laura V. Roberts, of the city graded school here. King Solomon Fountain Orders the Decoration of Grave of Rev. W. W. Browne, Founder. King Solomon Fountain of Richmond Division in its regular session on last Tuesday evening, ordered the grave of Rev. W. W. Browne, Founder of the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. to be decorated on Memorial Day. Rev. Browne was a member of this Fountain and plans are now under way by the Fountain to raise a memorial fund in honor of his memory and as a token of appreciation for his service to the Fountain and the Race. The members and friends of the Brotherhood will be invited to participate. About a year ago, the remains of our Founder were disinterred from the Sycamore Compound which is not now used as formerly for burial purposes and have been reinterred in "Beautiful Woodland" where his sepulchre is being viewed daily by many of the members and friends of the Order. Ascher Brothers' Verdict of the Eternal Magdalene. "Just contracted for the 'Eternal Magdalene' to play our entire circuit, twenty houses. When more producers awaken to the fact that it is better to have forty-five hundred feet of drama with speedy action than six or more reels that drag and are unconvincing, everybody concerned will be better off. It is the kind of a picture that human beings like to see because it depicts things as they really are." See the Eternal Magdalene at the Globe Theatre, Sunday afternoon and night, June 8, 1919.

We were under the impression that the first Sunday in April was Easter. Mess Sergiant Johnson made preparations on the day which he thought was "Good Friday" for a big feed Sunday. After we had been served ham and eggs for breakfast, Corporal F. C. Knight made an announcement that there would be held in this building at ten o'clock Easter exercises similar to the ones we would have at home. Cook Jonathan H. Claiborne, who was to be master of ceremonies led us into the light, stating that his sister had written him stating that she was to be baptized on Easter Sunday, which was the third Sunday in April. But we carried out part of our program. Roy, Joseph M. Butler delivered a soul stirring sermon and it was food to the many who heard him. Among many good things he said, "Christ's resurrection verified all His claims, His empty grave became the boundary line between the old dispensation and the new." SERGEANT HOWELL'S TRIP Sergeant Albert Howell visited Chambery and Aix les Bains. Aix les Bains was the first place operated as a leave area for the A. E. F. and one of the leading Summer resorts of France. It is situated between the boundary lines of Switzerland and Italy. It is one of the most historical places of the world. It is the burial place of Charlemagne. Going up a steep hill cast of the city we came to the Hotel Cahbert and in whose cellar we saw part of the old Roman Baths. These are believed to have been built in 122 B. C. and of have been fed from the hot ample springs further up the hill. Numerous brick pillars are still there which support the various baths, part of an old Roman tub, made of heavy stone, with steps leading down to it, with a fire box underneath, where fire could be built to keep the huge tub itself warm. Continuing then through a dark winding passage, I came out on the remains of an old Roman swimming pool. Octagonal in shape and supported originally on a hundred quadrangular pillars, made of bricks, on som_o of which the name of the manufactures. Clarians can still be road. One of the main charms of Aix-les-Bains, is Lake Bourgat. It is sit uated less than two miles from the city. Lake Bourgat is only eleven miles long, but it is the largest lake in France. It has been immortalized by the little Lamartine (Le Lac) written in one of the poet's favorite haunts on Tressorev Hill. A curious freak of nature converted what used to be the head into the foot. The outlet was formerly at the south end toward Chanbery, but in the year 1248, a landslide occurred from Mt. Tranier (south of Chanbery) and so much earth came down that it actually dammed up the outlet, driving the water in the opposite direction. As a result the water now goes out the north end through the channel of Savieres, into the Rhone River. Two other strange facts I was told concerning this lake. First, I found it was located in a freezing territory and the first thing that came to my mind was skating, but I was told that there had never been any ice on it, a condition attributed to probable subterranean hot springs, that may empty into it. Second, the level of the water sometimes rises or falls very rapidly, as much as three feet in three weeks. This not only depends on local range, but also on temperature, which thaws or freezes the Alpine streams feeding the lake. I would like to say more about the natural scenery of Alx les Bains, but time will not permit. A FEW DAYS, IN CHALLES LES EAUX. You will find enclosed postal cards, which we desire to be published in order that our people may understand better whom and of what race and of what color, the Son of God came. I left Legrande Hotel at ten o'clock and I arrived at Notre Dame de Myans, at two o'clock, which is a church. This church supposed to be older than Napoleon, would have been destroyed by Napoleon, so I was told, had it not been for the statue of Mary, holding in her arms, the baby, Christ. When I entered the Church, noticing the statue being closely escorted by a French lady, I hardly knew what to say, or what to think, for every thing had been going on so lovely, until I did not want to ever think of the race question, but wanted to think of a man as a man, nothing more or less, regardless of color. Noticing the robe of Mary, it was gold, and the crown was of gold, and I continued to look at the face of Mary and the babe. So I was noticed by those who were with me, paying special attention to the face of Mary. I then asked if she were black or white, and was told by those who knew that she and her Son, were just as you see it, black, black, black not brown, but black. Second day I visited Chateau de Mielens. This is a building that has been standing five hundred years before the discovery of America. It was once a place where long sentence prisoners were sent. There was only one prisoner who covered twenty-eight years. I visited the home of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. There I saw a clock that had been running over two hundred years and still keeping good time and a grape vine over fifteen inches in diameter. In this building I saw the cradle of de Mocary, which was his bed. On Sunday I visited La Cathedral. The building is five hundred years old. VETS BREAK EVEN. The Vets played Camp De Sourage the other evening. It was one of the snappiest games played in the A. E. F. League. Score 4:4. Farrier Tommie Hayes motored through the country for more than twenty miles to see the game. He was accompanied by many of his comrades and among them were Cook William Reed, Sergeant Allen Leath and Private Garland Anderson. Farrier Tommie Hayes has been on special duty from his company for more than eight months. H_i is now company clerk of Veterinary Hospital No. 4, Detachment, and the boys had not seen him for over six months and when he appeared in our camp, in his serge suit and Stetson hat, he was considered by his comrades as the nearest dressed soldier in the A. E. F. and a representative of Richmond. The Company is expected to assemble May 3, 1919 and we are expecting to step one pace forward and hold up our right hand and answer here when our name is called in the U. S.

FIRST MOUNT OLIVE NOTES King and Queen County, Va.,—The Women's Missionary Circle of First Mount Olive Baptist Church wishes to thank those who in any way contributed to the success of her rally last Sunday, at which time more than $200 were put on the table for mission work. The first feature of the program was a scholarly and practical sermon by Rev. W. A. Young, A. B., pastor of First Baptist Church, this county. Every one who heard it was well pleased and received what was needed. In the afternoon every mother who heard that splendid paper, "The Mother in the Home," by Mrs. Sarah Young was much benefited and went away more determined than ever to play well her part in the home. Another feature of the program which touched the heart of those interested in mission work was a paper, "The Relation Between Home and Foreign Missions," by Rev. Mrs. A. P. Young. The music was requested by a choir composed of choir members of various churches with Miss Mamie Braxton as organist. Much credit is due the Women's Missionary Circle. We regret to say that Deacon Charles Taylor, Mrs. Emily Holmer Mrs. Kate Hill, Mr. Sam Fortune and Mrs. Laura Braxton are still on the sck list. Mr. L. B. Holmes, Mrs. Ora Smith and little daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Broaddus and two sisters, Flossie and Maud, all of Philadelphia are here visiting their parents. A few evenings ago Rev. J. A. Martin, B. D., of Tappahannock docked a splendid lecture, "Five Steps to the Gallows," at Mount Olive. Any congregation would do itself credit to secure the services of this well known lecturer. Misses Mary and Susie Jones, of Indianneck, left last Wednesday for Philadelphia. Their many friends wish for them a pleasant stay. The farmers of this section are busy planting corn, cucumbers, saving hay and setting tobacco. $150,00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Richmond, Va., May 20, 1919.

There are $o$ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor $o$ 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. Scochy's Quinado is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the $o_2$ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinado is the invention of an export 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 by every two weeks with Seoby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. 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 us the price and we will mall them to you.

COLEMAN, AGENT, 107 W. Clay St., Richmond, Va. 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 nothing moro $ \mathrm{o}_{\mathrm{n}} $ than performed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tones. In deciding what to use $ \mathrm{o}_{\mathrm{n}} $ your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebys Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the $ \mathrm{o}_{\mathrm{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 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 fuzzy 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 drugstrict 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 mall them to you.

B. DuBois in the May issue of the New York Crisis proceeded to attack, not only the War Department with its discriminations against the colored men in the army, but also two of the best known color- ed leaders now before the American public, He was caustic in his attack upon the Hon. Emmett J. Scott and Mr. Scott was vitriolic in his reply. Ve also paid his respects to Dr. WW. R. Moton but in a manner far less sovere than that upon the distinguish- ed Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Dr. DuBois in this issue makes “no discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servi- tude.” He attacks the Negro-haters in he army and the colored leaders them selves outside of ie army. Here is what he says of Dr. R. R, Moton: Neither R. R. Moton nor W. B. B. Dubois had tho slightest idea that the other was planning to sail for Wrance December J, until they met in Washington gn a quest Zor pass ports, November 30. They sailed — to gether on the Orizaba and frankly discussed their agreements and dis ngreements. When they — reached France each went about his own bus! ness. Dr, Moton was sent by the Presi dent “of tho United States and the Secretary of War to seo and talk to Negro troops. Dr. DuBois was sont by the N. A. A. ©. P. and The Cris is to gathor tho historical. facts cox cerning Negro troops and to call PayAtrican Congress. It is ovident that the discussions aboard the Orizaba were not satis- factory to either party, for Dr. Du Bois says that when they reached France, cach went aboub his ows business. He tells just who sent hin and who sent Dr. Moton. We tako 1 then that he was sent to take care o! the National Association for the Ad vancoment of Colored People’s busi- " ness and Dr. R. R. Moton was sent to attend the President of tho Unitec States’ business, It is a puzzling thing to us Just how Dr. DuBois could have done what ne did do, had he beer sent by the President of the United States and just how Dr.>R, R. Mo ton could have done other than hi did do had he been sent by the Nat fonal Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. It seems that Dr. DuBois was of the opinion tat Dr. Moton should have carried out the — instruction: that he, himself had received from the very influential Association that sent the former across tho Atlantic It seems to us that for Dr. Moton tc have taken cither orders or instruc tions from Dr. DuBois or his Asso ciation would have been an affront to the appointing power at whose ex pense and direction he had mado the trip to France. The same is true of Dr, Dufois. Had he followed the instructions given to Dr. Moton, he would have been ridiculed and con: demned from one end of this country to the other by the members of that very influential and powerful organi zation. it was Dr. Moton’s business ta obey orders or to surrender the ap- pointment and it was Dr. DuBoi’s business to do the same thing. It scems to us that the criticism pass- ed should have been directed to the fact that Dr. Moton had accepted an appointment that would tend to com promise him and the race with which he is affiliated. Maving onco accopt ed it however, he was in honor bound to carry out the Instructions givon unless ho had accepted the appoint- ment with reservation. Dr. DuBots says: On the night before Dr. Moton started out a colored man of national reputat’on and unquestioned — integ: rity who had been in France six months took him aside and told him franktvy tho situation: the rampant American prejudice “agninst black troops and officers pnd the bitter re- sen'ment of the victims, Dr. Moton’s le"ters gave h'm every opportunity. A special Army Order preceded him. which rend: Dr. RR Moton President of Tua kegee Un'veraity will be vrosent in Divisione heen ee the* Divisiénal area forthe noxt tow days, ‘Tho Division Commandor db: reets (hat commanding. officers ren: der all possible assistanee in any. vis: it or inspection Dr. Moton desires to make. ‘They will also seo that he ts aceorded evety opportunity to make any observation he aay wish to make. make, ne See gen = Dr. DuBois continues: | What did Dy. Moton do? Ho isis avound as fast as possible. He took With him and had at his elbow every: moment (ut evil genius of the Ne- Ero race, ‘Thomas Jesso Jones a white min. Dr. Moton took no tine to in yestinate or inguive, He made a few speeches of which one Js reparted by a hearer as follows: ‘The address delivered by Dr, Mo- ton to the men consisted of one ot two Jokes iy a colored preacher, the assurance thal the people :* home were proud of them and the manner: in which they showld act upon thelr return to the United States, dwellings almost entirely upon the phrase “Not to be arrogant.” After he had spoke cn to the men” the Major informed the officers that Dr. Mozon desired to hold a seeret conference with them. | ANL officers congregated in the office. After being presented (0 the officers Dr. Moton stated that he had_ been sent to Franco by President Wilson and Mr. Baker for the purpose of speaking to the colored troops. Ho also stated that he pad Just left Paris where he had been in conference wit | Prosident, Wiifon and bad asked tho Vresident his views as {o the prac: tical application of democtacy toward | ho colored man in the United Sintes but endings by saying: “1 was very, much pleased with his reply; but gen- Hlemen L eannot quote the President .”” After Dr. Moton finished his tale ho opporsunity was given (o the offi- cors to inform hin of the eonditioas that had existed in France and he did not seek any information relative to samo from any of the offiéers atier the conference ended. | We do not believe that Dr. Moton needed any information as to the con- ditions existing in France, He already jiaugw about those conditions, Ho was over there to induce the colored amen to submit to! these conditions there and to give no rouble about those conditions when they arrived on tis side of the Auaniic. What is the use of disguising what was + plainly evi ident to every one who ean read ye ‘uween the lines? France is one of the Treest countries in the world, Colored men aro secognized according to Uhely worth and color is no bar to thelr ad- Vancement in that remarkable coun- try. These colored men had come in contact with these conditfons and nad “seen a new light," both socially and politically and they were chating un- der the yoke (hat held them under restraint. Dr, Moton, known to. be one of (he most influential colored men in this county and many of the colored soldiers gaving been students at Hampton Institute and ‘Tuskegeo Instituto, those far-scoing white men lau Washington saw in him tho modinm through whieh the complain “ing colored troops could be reached. If the War Department gavo Dr. Moton, Mr. ‘Thomas Jesso Jones as a companion, what elso could ho do, but accept him? Hvidenlly the task assigned the distinguished Virginian was distasteful to him for Dr. DuBois saya that he rushed around as fast as possible. We are of the opinion that had we accepted the appointment which we would not havo accepted, we would haye done the same thing. When you havo an unpleasant duty to perform, the best thing to do is to perform it as quickly as possible and “be done with it.” Dr. Moton did this very (hing for Dr. DuBois says that he aid. _ We repeat why should Dr. Moton give the officors an opportunity to in form him of conditions in Frageo? ‘This information was already onsite in the Hon, Emmett J. Seott's office in Washinigton and Mr, Scott and Dr. Moton were the ones to whom had been assigned the task of bringing these conditions to the attention of See- retary Baker, who was. really. the oyes, nose, mouth and ears of the President of the United States, It is also apparent that had these com- plaints been voiced to a civilian, these officers would have been liable to dis- ciplinary measures by that Negro hat- ing combine in the War Department. Our purpose is not to exeuse Dr. Moton, but to show that the remedy for theso troubles was higher up. Mr. Scott claims that ke had brought theso matters to the attention of the Secretary of War and that he had gono so far as to threaten to resign from the position ho held.

If he did not do this then he did not dy his full duty. But wo are Joih to condemn until we have heard the evidence from the other side, He vays the following tribute to the dis~ Unguished Virginian: ‘ 7 1 No one questions the personal in. fegrity of Robert Russa Moton or his kindly disposition but no one friend or foe, ean look those facts in. the faco and not feol Vitter disappoint ment. | “So ends" as far as Dr. Mojon ts concerned, Will the “Sphinx” at 'Tus- kexeo Institute turn as Hon, Emmett J, Scott has done and send forth a viriolie reply? We shall see, Selah. DR. DU ROIS AND THE PRACE CONFERENCE Dr. W. E. B. Dutois gives an in teresting account in the May Crisis of his experiences in rance. He descr-bes conditions there in a most entertaining: manner and gives sound advice lo the colored people of this country. He says: 1 went to Paris because today tho des'inies of mankind center there. Make no mistake as to this, my read: ers: Podunke may easily persuade — it. selt that only Podunk matters and that nothing is going on in New York. ‘The South Sea Islander may live ig- norant and careless of London. Some Americans may think — that Hurope docs not count, anda fow Negroes may arguo Yociferously that the | Ne- gro problem is a domestic matter, to bo settled in Richmond end New ‘Or. leans. But all these careless thinkers arc wrong, ‘Tho destinies of mankind for x hundred years to come are boing settled today in a small room of the Hotel Crillon by four unobtrusive kentlomen who glance out specula. tively now and Gen to.

It ts a polley of “cack man for himself and God for us all.” He continues: "Other folks of the world who think believe and act;—Thirty-two Nations, Peoples and Races havo _ permanent headquarters in Paris, Not simply England, Tay and the Great Powers are there but all the 1tte nations; not simply litle nations but tue groups Who want to be nations, like the Letts and Finns; the Armenians and JugoSlays; Irish’ and Ukrainians. Not only groups, but raeos have come Jews; Indians; Arabs and AIL Asia. Great churches, like Greok Or- thodox and the Roman Catholic are watching on the ground. Gece v rhou zations, like the American Peco Society, the League to Enforce Peace the American Mederation of Labor, the Woman's Suffrage Association and a hundred* others are represented in Paris today. He says further: In fine, not a single great, serions movement or idea in Government, Politics, Philanthropy or Industry in the civilized world “has omitted to send and keep in Paris its Byes and Kars and Wingers! And yet some Amorican Negroes actually — asked Why I went to help represent the Ne- gro world in Africa and America and tho Islands of the Se... But why did 1 not explain my rea- sons and mission before going? Be- causo I am not a fool. Because I knew perfectly well that any movo- ment to bring the attention of — tho world to the Negro preblem at. this crisis would bo stopped the moment tho Great Powers heard of it. When, therefore, I was suddenly intormed of a chance to go to France as a news piper correspondent, I did not talk—t wont. . What did I do when I got there? First, thero wero certain things that I did not do, I did not hold an antt- lynching meeting on the Boulevard des Ttallens. I would to God I could have, but T knew that France is still under martial law—that_no meoting can bo hold today in France, any-- whore or at any time without the con sent of the Government; no news paper can publish a line without. the consent of the Censor and no individ wai can stay in Franco unless the French consent. But it did not follow that becanso I could not do everything I could do nothing. I first went to the Amert- can Peace Commissica and sald frank ly and openly: “I want to call a Pan African Congress in Paris.” ‘The Captain to whom T spoke smiled and shook his head. “Impossible” he safd and added: “The Fronch Government would not permit it.” “Then” sald I innocently: “It's upto me to get French consent!” “It fal” he answer- a ad J = aN 5 10 no: weed, y__ff_,_9 aman (HAIR oROWER eT Co" Gy \ sairsene K€ Ro.

He makes other interesting dis- closures as. follows: With tho American Secret Service at my heels T then turned (othe [Preneh Government. ‘Thera are six colored deputies Inthe French Par- Hament and one is an underseere- jtary in the War Department. “or feourse, we éan have a Pan-African Congress he sald—"T'M see Clemen- ‘ceau."

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....6.00 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....MAY 31, 1919 DR. MOTON IN THE LIMELIGHT OF CRITICISM. That distinguished scholar and Journalist, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in the May issue of the New York Crisis proceeded to attack, not only the War Department with its discriminations against the colored men in the army, but also two of the best known colored leaders now before the American public. He was caustic in his attack upon the Hon. Emmett J. Scott and Mr. Scott was vitriolic in his reply. He also paid his respects to Dr. R. R. Moton but in a manner far less severe than that upon the distinguished Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Dr. DuBois in this issue makes "no discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." He attacks the Negro-haters in the army and the colored leaders, them selves outside of the army. Hero is what he says of Dr. R. R. Moton: Neither R. R. Moton nor W. E. B. DuBois had the slightest idea that the other was planning to sail for France December 1, until they met in Washington on a quest for pass ports, November 30. They sailed to together on the Orizaba and frankly discussed their agreements and dis agreements. When they reached France each went about his own bush mess. Dr. Moton was sent by the President of the United States and the Secretary of War to see and talk to Negro troops. Dr. DuBois was sent by the N. A. A. C. P. and The Crisis is to gather the historical facts concerning Negro troops and to call a Pan-African Congress. It is evident that the discussions aboard the Orizaba were not satisfactory to either party, for Dr. DuBois says that when they reached France, each went about his own business. He tells just who sent him and who sent Dr. Moton. We take it then that he was sent to take care of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's business and Dr. R. R. Moton was sent to attend the President of the United States' business. It is a puzzling thing to us just how Dr. DuBois could have done what he did do, had he been sent by the President of the United States and just how Dr. R. R. Moton could have done other than he did do had he been sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It seems that Dr. DuBois was of the opinion that Dr. Moton should have carried out the instructions that he, himself had received from the very influential Association that sent the former across the Atlantic. It seems to us that for Dr. Moton to have taken either orders or instructions from Dr. DuBois or his Association would have been an affront to the appointing power at whose expense and direction he had made the trip to France. The same is true of Dr. DuBois. Had he followed the instructions given to Dr. Moton, he would have been ridiculed and condemned from one end of this country to the other by the members of that very influential and powerful organization. It was Dr. Moton's business to obey orders or to surrender the appointment and it was Dr. DuBoi's business to do the same thing. It seems to us that the criticism passed should have been directed to the fact that Dr. Moton had accepted an appointment that would tend to compromise him and the race with which he is affiliated. Having once accepted it however, he was in honor bound to carry out the instructions given unless he had accepted the appointment with reservation. Dr. DuBois says: On the night before Dr. Moton started out a colored man of national reputation and unquestioned integrity who had been in France six months took him aside and told him frankly the situation: the rampant American prejudice against black troops and officers and the bitter resentment of the victim. Dr. Moton's letter gave him every opportunity. A special Army Order preceded him, which read: Dr. R. R Moton President of Tuskegee University will be present in the Divisional area for the next few days. The Division Commander directs that commanding officers render all possible assistance in any visit or inspection Dr. Moton desires to make. They will also see that he is accorded every opportunity to make any observation he may wish to make. Dr. DuBois continues: What did Dr. Moen do? He rushed around as fast as possible. He took with him and had at his elbow every moment that evil genius of the Negro race. Thomas Jesse Jones a white man. Dr. Moen took no time to in vestigate or inquire. He made a few preaches of which one is reported by a hearer as follows: "The address delivered by Dr. Moen to the men consisted of one or two jokes by a colored preacher, the assurance that the people:" home were proud of them and the manner in which they should act upon their return to the United States, dwelling almost entirely upon the phrase "Not to be arrogant." After he had spoken to the men the Major informed the officers that Dr. Moen desired to hold a secret conference with them. All officers congregated in the office. After being presented to the officers Dr. Moen stated that he had been sent to France by President Wilson and Mr. Baker for the purpose of speaking to the colored troops. He also stated that he had just left Paris where he had been in conference with President Wilson and had asked the President his views as to the practical application of democracy toward the colored man in the United States but ending by saying: "I was very much pleased with his reply; but gentlemen I cannot quote the President." After Dr. Moton finished his talk no opportunity was given to the officers to inform him of the conditions that had existed in France and he did not seek any information relative to same from any of the officers after the conference ended. We do not believe that Dr. Moton needed any information as to the conditions existing in France. He already dent to every one who can read be tween the lines? France is one of the freest countries in the world. Colored men are recognized according to their worth and color is no bar to their advancement in that remarkable country. These colored men had come in contact with these conditions and had "seen a new light," both socially and politically and they were chatting under the yoke that held them under restraint. Dr. Moton, known to be one of the most influential colored men in this country and many of the colored soldiers having been students at Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Institute, those far-seeing white men at Washington saw in him the medium through which the complain ing colored troops could be reached. If the War Department gave Dr. Moton, Mr. Thomas Jesse Jones as a companion, what also could he do, but accept him? Evidently the task assigned the distinguished Virginian was distasteful to him for Dr. Dullois says that he rushed around as fast as possible. We are of the opinion that had we accepted the appointment which we would not have accepted, we would have done the same thing. When you have an unpleasant duty to perform, the best thing to do is to perform it as quickly as possible and "be done with it." Dr. Moton did this very thing for Dr. Dullois says that he did. We repeat why should Dr. Moton give the officers an opportunity to inform him of conditions in France? This information was already on file in the lion. Emmett J. Scott's office in Washington and Mr. Scott and Dr. Moton were the ones to whom had been assigned the task of bringing these conditions to the attention of Secretary laker, who was really the eyes, nose, mouth and ears of the President of the United States. It is also apparent that had these complaints been voiced to a civilian, these officers would have been liable to disciplinary measures by that Negro hating combine in the War Department. Our purpose is not to excuse Dr. Moton, but to show that the remedy for these troubles was higher up. Mr. Scott claims that he had brought these matters to the attention of the Secretary of War and that he had gone so far as to threaten to resign from the position he held. As he is a gentleman of high character and unquestioned veracity, who will question the statement? Dr. DuBois continues to flay Dr. Moton by quoting statements and putting him in an attitude of running away from an opportunity to speak for the colored people of the United States of America in general and the colored soldiers in France in particular. He says: Dr. Moton then returned to Paris and met Colonel House, General Porshing and others. Colonel House told the writer that he urged Dr. Moton to remain in Paris and that if he would, Colonel House would give him an opportunity to appear in person before the Peace Conference to speak for the black world. Dr. Moton ro fused to stay but promised to return. He then went to England and secured an audience with Lloyd George Prime Minister of England. The destiny of the black race today is in the hands of England and the destiny of England is in the hands of Lloyd George. Yet Dr. Moton did not keep MICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, WIRESTA his appointment; but rushed to catch his boat in order to be present at the Tuskegee Conference. He sailed, with Thomas Jesse Jones still watching him and did not return to Paris or to the Pan-African Congress which he said he favored and promised to support. If Dr. Moton met Colonel House, General Pershing and Premier Lloyd George, who knows that he did not present to the one or the other or to all of them a plea for the amelioration and betterment of those conditions of which complaint has been made? If he did not do this then he did not do his full duty. But we are both to condemn until we have heard the evidence from the other side. He pays the following tribute to the distinguished Virginian: No one questions the personal integrity of Robert Russia Moton or his kindly disposition but no one friend or foe, can look these facts in the face and not feel litter disappointment. "So ends" as far as Dr. Moton is concerned. Will the "Sphinx" at Tuskegee Institute turn as Hon. Emmett J. Scott has done and send forth a virolic reply? We shall see, Selah. DR. 9U BOIS AND THE PEACE CONFERENCE Dr. W. E. B. DuBois gives an interesting account in the May Crisis of his experiences in France. He describes conditions there in a most entertaining manner and gives sound advice to the colored people of this country. I went to Paris because today the desiies of mankind center there. Make no mistake as to this, my readers; Podunk may easily persuade itself that only Podunk matters and that nothing is going on in New York. The South Sea Islander may live ignorant and careless of London. Some Americans may think that Europe does not count, and a few Negroes may argue voicerously that the Negro problem is a domestic matter, to be settled in Richmond and New Orleans. But all these careless thinkers are wrong. The destinies of mankind for a hundred years to come are being settled today in a small room of the Hotel Crillon by four unobtrusive gentlemen who glance out speculatively now and then to Cleopatra's Needle on the Place de la Concorde. You need not believe this if you do not want to. They do not care what you believe. They have the Power. They are settling the world's problems and you can believe what you choose as long as they control the Armies and Navies, the world suply of Capital and the Press. Who will question this interesting and forceful statement? It is the lack of power that handicaps the colored people of this country today. They are in a rare measure careless as to armies and navies and the supply of capital and the press. They live ignorant and careless of the outside world. It is a policy of "each man for himself and God for us all." He continues: Other folks of the world who think believe and act;—Thirty-two Nations, Peoples and Races have permanent headquarters in Paris. Not simply England, Italy and the Great Powers are there but all the little nations; not simply little nations but little groups who want to be nations, like the Letts and Finnus; the Armenians and Jugo-Slays; Irish and Ukrainians. Not only groups, but races have come—Jews; Indians; Arabs and All Asia. Great churches, like Greek Orthodox and the Roman Catholic are watching on the ground. Nations, like the American Peace Society, the League to Enforce Peace the American Federation of Labor, the Woman's Suffrage Association and a hundred others are represented in Paris today. He says further: In fine, not a single great, serious movement or idea in Government, Politics, Philanthropy or Industry in the civilized world has omitted to send and keep in Paris its Eyes and Ears and Fingers! And yet some American Negroes actually asked Why I went to help represent the Negro world in Africa and America and the Islands of the Se.... But why did I not explain my reasons and mission before going? Because I am not a fool. Because I knew perfectly well that any movement to bring the attention of the world to the Negro problem at this crisis would be stopped the moment the Great Powers heard of it. When, therefore, I was suddenly informed of a chance to go to France as a news paper correspondent, I did not talk—I went. What did I do when I got there? First, there were certain things that I did not do. I did not hold an antilynching meeting on the Boulevard des Italiens. I would to God I could have, but I knew that France is still under martial law—that no meeting can be held today in France, anywhere or at any time without the consent of the Government; no news paper can publish a line without the consent of the Censor and no individual can stay in France unless the French consent. But it did not follow that because I could not do everything I could do nothing. I first went to the American Peace Commission and said frankly and openly: "I want to call a Pan African Congress in Paris." The Captain to whom I spoke smiled and shook his head. "Impossible" he said and added: "The French Government would not permit it." "Then" said I innocently: "It's up to me to get French consent!" "It is!!" he answer Mme Rose's Hy-Quality HAIR GROWER A matchless Scalp Food Produces Positive Results FOR 50¢ FURNISHED AT Mme Rose's Laundry NEW YORK CITY, N.Y.

According to Dr. DuBois statement the presentation of the Negro Problem, so called to the attention of the world would have been stopped the moment the Great Powers heard of it. If this be true, what would be the use of holding a Pan-African Congress if the purposes and requests of this Conference would go before a Court that had already determined the questions at issue against the plaintiffs? He makes other interesting disclosures as follows: With the American Secret Service at my heels I then turned to the French Government. There are six colored deputies in the French Parliament and one is an under-secretary in the War Department. "Of course, we can have a Pan-African Congress" he said—"I'll see Clemencau." He saw Clemencau and there was a week's pause. Clemencau saw Pichon and there was another pause Meanline, our Stato Department chuckled and announced that there would be no Congress and refused Negroes passports. England followed suit and refused to allow the Secretary of the Aborigines Protection Society even to visit Paris, while the South African natives were not allowed to sail. But there are six Negroes in the French House and Clemenecan needs their votes. There were 280,000 black African troops in the war before whom France stands with uncovered head. The net result was that Clemenecan Prime Minister of France gave us permission to hold the Pan-African Congress in Paris. What could a Pan-African Congress do? It could not agitate the Negro problem in any particular country, except in so far as that problem could be plausibly shown to be part of the problem of the future of Africa. The problem of the future of Africa was a difficult and delicate question before the Peace Conference —so difficult and so delicato that the Conference was disposed to welcome advice and co-operation. If the Negroes of the world could have maintained in Paris during the entire sitting of the Peace Conference a central headquarters with experts, clerks and helpers they could have settled the future of Africa at a cost of less than $10,000. To our mind, Dr. DuBlois is right in his declaration that ten thousand dollars to maintain permanent head quarters in France could have settled the future of Africa. But what would it have settled for the Negroes in this country? He says that the Conference that was held cost $750,00. It was a cheap congregation of intellect. Does the distinguished economist and scholar mean to say that this was all of the money that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was able to provide? In all of these movements, the handicap of race leaders is a lack of money and the colored people have not enough confidence in each other, it seems to provide the sum necessary. The men who led the movement at the National Race Congress and kindred organizations were right. The State Department nipped their plans in the bud and they could not got across the Atlantic. Money could have been raised to have kept men like Trotter, Jernigan, Waldron and many others on the othersido in permanent headquarters where the lobbying system would have accomplished wonders. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has made a most interesting and timely contribution to the inside history of this great war, but his words echoing throughout the United States of America in particular and the world in general will be re-echoed not only by Emmott J. Scott in reply to his criticisms but by Dr. R. R. Moton in his look of rebuke for his comment on his actions. Both were in embarrassing positions and it is only fair and just to repeat them. As Dr. DuBois has said, so say they all. "What did I do when I got there? First, there were certain things that I did NOT do. I did not hold an anti-lynching meeting on the Boulevard des Italiens. * * * But it did not follow that because₀ I could not do everything that I could do nothing." As to what he did or what he attempted to do, Dr. R. R. Moton's mouth is closed. That he did bring some questions to President Wilson's HOTEL SUN WHITENING DR. FRED BLAIR SUN WHITENING SOAP Beauty is Only Skin-Deep Your skin either makes or breaks your beauty. A sallow, blotchy skin spoils any beauty, while a fair, smooth complexion is all most women need to make them beautiful. You can make your skin shades lighter, and as fair and soft as velvet by applying Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener. After a few applications, all blotches and pimples Dr. Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER attention goes without saying for he says that the interview was satisfactory, but he could not quote the President. Those of us who have been in similar predicaments know exactly what he meant by this statement. He evidently was given assurances that conditions of which complaint had been made would be improved. Bishop Walters now gone to the other shore got similar promises and died an almost heart-broken man. We appreciate Dr. DuBois' effort to right the wrongs of which complaint has been made. No doubt his bitter experiences abroad have warped his judgment and caused him to attack men of his race in words that had better been left unsaid. Let us hope that wandering as we now are through this period of a fearfully dark night that we see in the distance streaks of a gray dawn which in a short time will be followed by the refulgent rays of a Summer sun. It would be well to remember too that through it all God holds the destiny of nations in His hands and that we shall reach the haven of industrial and political equality if we hold on faint not and await the triumph of right and justice in this great world of ours.
