THE RICHMOND RANEET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 30. RICLEMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1910 WANTS TO BE CALLED NEGRO Editor, Richmond Pictures It is not high time to put an end to inscientific, unreasonable creation of reflection upon the radial name of the Negro in a reflection cost, not by our oppressors but by Negroes themselves." Whenever any prosperbing group hates the very name of its national, religious or racial ancestor that group does not deserve to enjoy the same degree of freedom or justice that are universally accorded to all other antagonist groups, each fired by the spirit of its own group. ASKED A QUESTION While I Europe I was many times asked whether I am of one or another group other than my own. I instantly answered, "If you mean as to my nationality, I am an American." But I invariably added, with infinitely mooer grief, "that if you mean as to my race, I am a Negro." To those who persist in saying that, for example, Prof. Keeling was an Afro-American, one may perpitently remind that Prof. Loehring and General Galbieri were of the same race. How could General Galbieri, who never was in America, be an Afro-American? NO HYPHENATED NAME WANTED One of the most trivial arguments that have come to light by way of acquaintance our teacher is that we (Nemeses) are not hyphens, that we are American, that by asserting that our race are not hyphens, that our race name is not hyphened, that we thus for agree with them for as any English speaking person, who possesses a good primary education is well aware, the word "Negro" is not a compound名词 or adjective. But our opponents beg the question when they assert that we (Nemeses) are Americans. Prof. Kealing was of the same nationality as Mr. Woodrow Wilson; but I pity him who would assert that that distinguished scholar was of the same race, the notorious politician. By protest I am not an American; I am a civil engineer. By nationality I am not a civil engineer; I am an American. In stating that I am an American I am no more disclosing my race than my occupation. THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTION It is bad rhetoric to capitalize the word "colored," equally as bad as to write "Negro" with a small "n." There are many colored Americans who are not Negroes; some are Mongolians, some Indians. One class of Negroes who sneer their racial name object that originally the word "Negro" was restricted to a single tribe. There was only one tribe in "Abboton" bearing the name of the "Angles." But the descendants of the Saxons and of the Jutes are no less pride than the descendants of the Angles in saying that they are (Angles) English. COMPARISON WITH THE JEW Very appropriately our race is termed Negro. Its name's derivation has proceeded exactly as the term "JAW" (from one tribe of twelve) and the term "Caucasian" from a very small number of people in the Caucasus.) For all the terms came by synedoche, by a figure, of speech giving the name of a part to the name of the whole. It is usual, it is intelligent, in deriving new terms, to coin by borrowing an expression which is suggestive of some distinguishing function or appearance, or is logically connected with the discovery or origin, of the entity to be named. I contend for the great Negro race to continue to be named responsibly, scientifically, properly. I protest against dishonoring the name of my race. WILLIAM H. DAMMOND, Dorchester, Boston, Mass. 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 drums with goodly action than six or more pools that drug 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.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1919 RACE LEADERS SHOULD STOP FIGHTING RACE LEADERS SHOULD STOP FIGHTING THE EIGHT THIRD, LEADERS OF THE RAVE ARE DIVIDED—THE RAVE IS BEING FURRED Rev. Dr. Spiller Speaks Plainly Miller of The Richmond Planer; Deer Editor. My attention was directed to the contention that is now being on through the columns of our office between three of our recorders, page leaders. When I say the best that I do not say is the way of speaking upon these three gentlemen for I do regard them as being big men in every sense of the term. Their openness and efficiency have been recognized by his excellency, the President of the United States and the cabinet. They have been often called and consulted by him on questions touching the future status of the Nervous. One of them filled the position as Assistant Secretary of War, one was sent by the President over the years to a liver world of advice and counsel to those who had laid their lives upon the altar of liberty that the world might be made safe for democracy, the other ov. have also been honored through the influence of the President, none they can be truly called great. WATCHED OUR METHODS. I had been thinking of the matter but not seriously before reading your article which appeared in a few days ago. I have known you for more than twenty five years, and have watched your methods of dealing with politics, fraternal organizations, individual men and religious subjects and if you made any mistakes along the lines mentioned above they were very few. Whenever you have been beaten it proved to be only temporarily. Your success is due to the fact that you never spend any time in discussing things that were not ensial to the progress and development of the race. We are passing through a very critical period, and if the Negro has ever stood in need of safe and competent leaders it is now. This is no time to be asking who shall be the greatest in the kingdom, but let us first get the kingdom well founded and then the people will rise up and say who shall set on the right hand and on the left hand of the throne. The boat is now upon the rough seas being tossed and driven by the waves of prejudice and race discrimination and this is not the time to be shaking. NO TIME TO WORKY Do not worry over small things when the interest of the race is at stake. If thou has run with the footmen and they weary thee how canst thou contend with horses? If in the land of peace wherein thou trustest they weary thee what will thou do in the swelling of the Jordan? Some men are too much disposed to take the ill natured side and judging by themselves, they infer the worst, but it is very often the case that the unchariableness of others where you really exists is but the reflection of our own want of charity and want of temper. It often happens that the worry we subjected ourselves to has its source in our own imagination, although even those about us may think of us unchariableness we shall not mend matters by exasperating ourselves against them. We may thereby only expose ourselves unnecessarily to their ill nature. The life that come out of our mouth says George Hubbard, "Offiness fall into our bloom." The great and good philosopher Eradry communicated the following piece of advice: full of practiced wisdom the result of rich experience of life in a better to a friend, "Let me as an old man, who could by this time have profited by experience say that when I was younger I often represented the situation of people and that they did not know what I, at that time supported they meant, and further that as a personal role it was better to be a little dull of apprehension when phrases seem to imply resentment and quick in perception, when to the contrary they seem to imply kindly feeling. TRUTH NEVER FAILS The real truth never fails ultimately to appear and opposes if wrong are sooner convinced when applied too for heartily than when overheard. All I mean to say, it is better to be blind to the results of partiship, and quick to see good will, one has more happiness in one's self in endeavoring to follow the things that made for peace. How often have I been heated in private when opposed as I thought unimply and unimpaired by and yet I have driven and occupied I have kept down my possessions in their kind, and I know they have never been lost in The Bible; they have thence been mentioned in known very rarely. This conception who can tell when it will end. Not only are the ones who believe us outspoken and welcoming them but the ones are the other who are doing the same. The two fortunate strangers in the Neptune will not be seen, in this composition noted the form of the sun, a moon on the short. The little gray illustrator, what I want to say, "Probably the most we can apportune ever made by anybody in any theatre we occurred at on Premiere seeing yours into." This place was a colony of youth children at that time and women and children were sold out once. The evening display a performance at the theatre a child was bound to cry, whereupon a return black banded thief joined upon his foot and shouted, "Show them dark children and let us be by the baby boy." That was done and there was rejoicing." 9199 91RAN90TNDE99 91QWSTQTN THAT TAINTED MONEY. Sometime ago when Andrew Carnegie offered the Methodist Church a large sum of money the church refused to accept it upon the ground that it was tainted. In a show that occurred afterwards, the manager asked the clown about the money being tainted, said that the Methodist Church refused to accept it on account of this fact. What do you think of it, said the manager? He said, "Ross, 'this tainted, its tainted this way: 'taunt mine, 'taint yours and that's what the trouble is." I hop, the jealousy is out of this thing entirely. I do not feel that you need any advice or counsel from me but as a member of the race I am especially interested in our leaders and I would advise just now when the world is turned upside down, at a time when the Negro has shown his efficiency as private soldier and as an officer and had gone over the top side by side with the southern as well as the northern white men, and have come home wearing badges of honor side by side with the members of the opposite race, when the question is being asked not only in the South but in the North, what shall we do with the Negro, would it not be well for those men to lay aside contention until the toilet quitting? Respectfully yours. R. SPILLER, Pastor Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, Durham, N. C. BAPTIST WOMEN ATTENTION. The Woman's Baptist State Educational Convention will meet June 19-23, 1919.

Angry Vickersburg Mob Saturates His Head With Oil and Applies Match Several Onlookers Are Hurt During Wild Scene, One Bullet Passing Through Pedestrians Head Inflicting Fatal Injuries. Vicksburg, Miss. May 14.—A mob of between 800 and 1,000 persons broke in the county jail here tonight overpowered sheriff Frank Scott and twelve deputies took Lloyd Clay, aged twenty-four colored from his cell, marched him to the heart of the city and hanged him with a rope to the limb of an elm tree at the sometime placing a bonfire under him, after saturating his head with oil. He died while a fusillade of shots were being fired into his body. M. G. Cockrill, a deputy was in ternity injured with a railroad iron the mob had used to batter down the doors of the jail. Clay was arrested early today by Sheriff Scott on charges of having assaulted a white girl at the home of a prominent citizen here. It was alleged that he entered the girls room early this morning. She screamed It was said, and he ran, the girl tearing a piece of cloth from his coat. This was used to give a pair of bloodhounds acue and the dogs trailed Clay to the Alabama and Vicksburg Railway station here. He was taken to jail, where the young woman was asked to identify him. She told the authorities she was not positive Clay was the one. Tonight a crowd assembled around the jail. Sheriff Scott remonstrated with them and while addressing the crowd a railroad iron in the hands of the mob was brought into play. The mob broke down three sets of steel doors, finally forcing their way to Clay's cell. When they appeared Clay is quoted as saying: "Give me a minute and I'll tell you who the other man—" but his words were choked off and the mob carried him to the street where he was placed in an automobile truck and taken to the scene where the lynching occurred. The elm tree where the lynching took place is near the home where the alleged assault occurred. A rope was fastened around Clay's neck and oil applied to his head. Clay it is said tried to lift himself up by the rope, and his hands were tied. As he was swung from the ground a match was applied to his head and a bonfire started under his feet. A fusillade of shots into the body followed. Charles Lancaster an onlooker was shot through the head and it is believed he is fatally wounded. Bennie Stafford another onlooker was shot through the arm. Clay's body was cut down at 10 o'clock tonight and prepared for burial. Authorities tonight said the lynching is the culmination of feeling which has resulted from a series of attempts by colored men in Vicksburg and vicinity to attack white women and girls. MISSOURI MOR SWINGS MAN ON JUDGE'S FARM. Crowds Cheer as Body of Jay Lynch, Sheriff Murderer, Dangles in Air. Cendemned to Life Imprisonment, Maximum Legal Punishment He Is Taken Out to Hang as Family Eid Him Good-By-It. Lamar, Mo., May 25.—Shortly after Jay Lynch had pleaded guilty to the murder of Sheriff John Harlow and his son and had been sentenced to life imprisonment, twenty-four men entered the courtroom took Lynch from the hands of the officers and hanged him in the yard before a crowd of 500 persons. When Lynch's body was swung into the air the spectators including many women and children cheered. Lynch is one of few white men to be lynched in Missouri. Immediately after Judge B. G. Thurman passed sentence he ordered Lynch taken to his office under guard of seven deputies. eHre he was allowed to greet his wife, baby, mother and sister. His handcuffs had been removed that he might hold his baby and he had just given the child back to its mother when the men entered and seized him. Lynch this afternoon had been brought from Butler, Mo., where he had been held in jail since his arrest in Colorado several weeks ago. There were no threats when he was brought from the train to the courthouse. There was no show of violence in the courtroom when the prisoner was arraigned and according to witnesses the men composing the mob gathered in the corridors of the courthouse and in the yard and no warning was given of their action. Capital punishment is not possible under a law enacted by the Legislature in 1917. An attempt was made to repeal the present law shortly after the Lynch shooting and the chief suporter of the repeal of the law was Representative Henry Chancellor of Barton County, where Lynch was hanged.

A present feature of a local field art museum, contains an article concerning the Field Artistry which could paint, by the writer, a constructed contemporary life. The writer, on his atti- tion, set forth eight local halls, will curring this republican saw, to res- sort to a very cheap sort, of barke- que plaster. In the museum that the Bar- cassonne public may paint, he will inflating for public space in the Leopold Laster box of the Baltimore American to correct any take impa- sion that might have grown out of that article. First, the difficulty in the Bald Field Artistry is less than one half per cent. Over 15 per cent of the en- titled personnel are college men, about 28 per cent have a career high school education and about 86 per cent have received university school education. The twelve parish spouses of certain individuals of the outfit have returned home with unitarily large sums of money. In almost every such case the amounts were honestly obeyed, our remittance spent six weeks on the front just outside of Metz. After the innumerable was plumed and took advantage of the opportunity to collect rich supplies of their consents. These articles sold at many prices in other parts of France and to the gallers at Brest. Then, too some of the men supplement their master army pay by writing for newspapers and other periodicals. France the individual who is responsible for the article in question could not have visited the Sidi Fied Artibert in Cappel Mole like many New York newspapers men did, where he could have received accurate information. What the American public wants to know is how we helped to win the war too democracy, and not how much education we have, how we carried our money nor what kind of money we used to share our faces. Let me say to our four raised American patriots in whom I have not lost confidence - those who were born in every American soldier who were the olive-dued uniform, irresponsible of color - and to those who greet us with kind words and sympathetic smiles, we did it by pulling together; by forgetting things we did and antipathies. By so doing we were able to succeed. This I believe is in greatest season that the American soldiers learned in the recent war. When the 92nd Division took its place on the front it occupied a sector adjacent to one in which a certain Southern outfit was laboring and when the baptism came there was only one Line a solid American line since the Huns used no Jimi Crow shells. Sometimes we were bolstering the lines of the white soldiers and sometimes they were bolstering ours. One night after a heavy engagement a strange face stood ahead of me in the chow lloo—a white face. That was an uncommon thing *it* the front. Before we had worked our way up to the field kitchen a conversation developed, in which my comrade said "Sergeant. I've come to the conclusion that much of the race trouble back in America is bad stuff. If we can live and do together as men here in these narrow swamps, we can get along together back in the good old U. S. A." Continuing he said: "I lost my blankets in the air raid the other night and since then I've been sleeping in one of your ammunition trucks. This morning Big Bertha got a deflection on one of our field ranges; I suppose they mistook it for a gun and we didn't been able to serve any chow today." The lad just spoken of proved to be one of my best friends in the A. E. P. I just speak of this incident to show the spirit that prevailed on the front. It is the only true American spirit after all, all other is an American and not in accordance with the principles for which America entered the war. "Carry it on" as the soldiers would say, and let us not have any more of the sort of "welcome" write ups that this thoughtless individual gave. We have returned home; we do not ask favors, undue returning soldiers of a victorious army. All we ask is that we be given a source de a true and accurate wristup or none at all. Indeed we have but done what we consider our duty, and we shall not be disappointed if no wristups at all are given us. All we ask is that when accounts of our efforts are given in newspapers that they be fair and void of attempt at burlesque journalism. Perhaps had the writer seen the solemn dignity of the battle fields of the western front he would hold the war too serious for burlesque wristups and he would respect those who delicately their lives to the cause that beckoned us all. SERGT, JOHN R. WILLIAMS, 231st Field Artillery, 92nd Division A, E. P. REV. R. R. JONES WRITES FROM HOMESTEAD, PA. Mr. Editor, I have never gotten along better with my work then at this writing. I have been unwell for some time but I am feeling better each day, thank the Lord. My wife is at her old home at Bedford City, Va. for a few weeks. We celebrated our thirty fifth marriage anniversary, April S., at which time and since that date our good friends gave us the next sum of $669.11. This amount helped us to pay off the mortgage on our home and left in our hands a good sum of money. The First Baptist Church of Ronnoke, which I pastored for 22 years, sent me a check for even $100 for which I want to thank them one and all through your paper. My people here are, very kind to me, but I can't forced my friends in Roorkee, for whom I served for 22 years, and have been away from them 10 years, yet they think of me. I was very sorry to read of the death of Hoopan Scott Robinson, of the First Baptist Church, of Roorkee, of the best man I ever met, a man that loved me from his heart and never wished against a simple proposition that I presented to the church in 22 years. He never made a mistake in bed like his Saviour, he was a man for all the Church's long lost a good man and Roorkee's a loving citizen and the best man for bond, but one he is Heaven's gain. Peace he to his wife. Robber of Church, well done, Trail of he thy new employ, And while eternal meet run, Root in the Saviour's joy Yours, R. R. JONES, 421 E. 13th Avenue, Hornstedt, Pa.

WANTS TO BE CALLED NEGRO Editor, Richmond Planet: 'It is not high time to put an end to unscientific, unreasoning casting of reflection upon the racial name of the Negro—a reflection cast, not by our oppressors but by Negroes themselves? Whatever any proscribing group has the very name of its national, religious or moral position that group does not deserve to enforce the same degree of freedom or respect that are universally accorded to all other analogous groups, each fired by the spirit of its own group. ASKED A QUESTION While in Europe I was many times asked whether I am of one or another group other than my own. I instantly answered, "If you mean as to my nationality, I am an American." But I invariably added, with infinitely more ardor, "but if you mean as to my race, I am a Negro." To those who persist in saying that, for example, Prof. Kealing was an Afro-American, one may pertinently remind that Prof. Kealing and General Galliène were of the same race. How could General Galliène, who never was in America, be an Afro-American? NO HYPHENATED NAME WANTED One of the most trivial arguments that have come to light by way of asserting our race name is that we (Negroes) are $ _{0} $ not hyphens, that we are Americans. If, by asserting that our race $ _{0} $ are not hyphens, the proponents mean that our race name is not hyphenated, we thus far agree with them; for, as any English speaking person, who possesses a good primary education $ _{0} $ well aware, the word "Negro" is not a compound noun or adjective. But our opponents beg the question when they assert that we (Negroes) are Americans. Prof. K. Freakel (the same nationality as Mr. Woodrow Wilson); but I pity him who would assert that the same distinguished scholar was of the same profession of the notorious politician. By profession I am not an American; I am a civil engineer. By nationality I am not a civil engineer; I am an American. In stating that I am an American I am no more disclosing my race than my occupation. THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTION It is bad rhetoric to capitalize the word "colored," equally as bad as to write "Negro" with a small "n." There are many colored Americans who are not Negroes; some are Mongolians, some Indians. One class of Negroes who sneer their racial name object that originally the word "Negro" was restricted to a single tribe. There was only one tribe in "Ahlbon" bearing the name of the "Angles." But the descendants of the Saxons and of the Jutes are no less pride than the descendants of the Angles in saying that they are (Angles) English. COMPARISON WITH THE JEW. Very appropriately our race is termed Negro. Its name's derivation has proceeded exactly as the term "Jew" (from one tribe of twelve) and the term "Caucasian" from a very small number of people in this Caucasus. For all the terms came by syncedoche, by a figure of speech giving the name of a part to the name of the whole. It is an intelligent, in deriving new terms, to coin by borrowing an expression which is suggestive of some distinguishing function or appearance, or is logically connected with the discovery or origin, of the entity to be named. I contend for the great Negro race to continue to be named reproachlessly, by scientifically, properly. I protest against dishonoring the name of my race. WILLIAM H.

RACE LEADERS SHOULD STOP FIGHTING THE BIG THREE, LEADERS OF THE RACE IS BEING INSURED Editor of The Richmond Planet: Dear Editor,—My attention was directed to the contention that is now going on through the columns of our paper between three of our recognized race leaders. When I say the big three, I do not say in the way of reflecting upon these three gentlemen for I do regard them as being big men in every sense of the term. Their greatness and efficiency have been recognized by his excellency, the President of the United States and his cabinet. They have been often called and consulted by him on questions touching the future status of the Negro. One of them filled the position as Assistant Secretary of War, one was sent by the President over the seas and counsel to those who had held their lives upon the altar of Liberty the world might be made safe for democracy, the other one has also been honored through the influence of the President, hence they can be truly called great. WATCHED OUR METHODS I had been thinking of the matter but not seriously before reading your editorial, which appeared in a few days ago. I have known you for more than twenty-five years, and have watched your methods of dealing with politics, fraternal organizations, individual men and religious subjects and if you made any mistakes along the lines mentioned above they were very few. Whenever you have been encouraged to be only temporarily Your answer to the fact that you never spend time discussing things that were not essential to the progress and development of the race. We are passing through a very critical period, and if the Negro has ever stood in need of safe and competent leaders it is now. This is no time to be asking who shall be the greatest in the kingdom, but let us first get the kingdom will rise up and say who shall set on the right hand. On the left hand of the throne. The son of the seas being tossed and driven by the waves of prejudice and race discrimination and this is not the time to be shaking it. NO TIME TO WORRY Do not worry, over small things when the interest of the race is at stake. If thou has run with the footmen and they weary thee, how canst thou contend with horses? If in the land of peace wherein thou trustest they weary thee what will thou do in the swelling of the Jordan? Some men are too much disposed to take the ill-natured side and judging by themselves, they infer the worst, but it is very often the case that the uncharitableness of others where you really exists is but the reflection of our own want of charity and want of tempor. It often happens that the worry we subject ourselves to has its source in our own imagination, although over those about us, may think of us uncharitably we shall not utterers by exasperating ourselves against them. We may thereby only expose ourselves unnecessarily to their ill-nature. The lilies that come out of our mouth says George Hubbard, "Oftimes fall into our bosom." The great and good philosopher Faraday communicated the following piece of advice, full of practical wisdom the result of experience. Life in a better to a friend, "Let me see who ought by this time have profited by experience say that when I was younger I often misrepresented the intention of people and that they did not mean what I, at that time supposed they meant, and further that as a general rule it was better to be a child of apprehension when phrases like "imply resentment and quick in perception, when to the contrary they seem to imply kindly feeling. TRUTH NEVER FAILS The real truth never falls ultimately to appear and opposers if wrong are sooner convinced when applied too forbearingly than when overwhelmed. All I mean to say, it is better to be blind to the results of partisanship, and quick to see good will, one has more happiness in one's self in endeavoring to follow the things that made for peace. How often have I been heated in private when opposed as I thought unjustly and unsuperficially and yet I have striven and succeeded—I hope—in keeping down replies of light kind, and I know have never lost by it. The ability of these three men in question is known everywhere. This contention, who can tell where it will end. Not only the enemies among us standing off and watching them but the enemies on the other side are doing the same. The future of the Negro is still unknowable. The period period the men of thought, must be on the alert. This little story might illustrate what I want to say: "Probably the most successful appearance ever made by anybody in any theatre occurred at San Francisco some years ago. The place was a colony of rough miners at that time and women and children were soldom seen. One evening during a performance at the theatre a child was heard to cry, whereupon a rough black-bearded giant leaped upon his seat and shouted, 'Stop them darn fiddlers and let us hear the baby cry.' That was done and there was soldom. Is it not felt that we have thousands upon thousands of full grown babies physically among the Norwegos of this country who are still drinking milk, when they ought to be eating strong food? Can't you hear the crying all through this country, asking for an equal chance in the race of life, crying because they are discriminated against and are deprived of their rights along all lines? THE TRANSCENDENT QUESTION Would it not be well for these leaders to stop these addlers of contention, discord and jealousy from playing and listen to the cry of these babies who are saying come over into the Macedonia of race discrimination and prejudice and help us? The babies are crying because people are being lynched and burnt to the stake and are unable to help themselves. If the leaders begin to cry and act like babies what will the undeveloped members of the race do? One among the big three who have been severely criticised is showing signs of true greatness by holding his peace. I was somewhat inclined to criticise him because I thought that you due to lack of manhood, but after all while it is lawful to express our feelings and to deceive ourselves against unjust criticism it is not expedient at this time to do so and too much cannot be said in honor of this leader who is holding his peace. I will close by relating an incident of which this contention reminds me. THAT TAINTED MONEY. Something ago when Andrew Carnegie offered the Methodist Church a large sum of money the church refused to accept it upon the ground that it was tainted. In a show that occurred afterwards, the manager asked the clown about the money being tainted, said that the Methodist Church refused to accept it on account of this fact. What do you think of it, said the manager? He said, "Boss, 'tis tainted, its tainted this way: 'taint mine, 'taint yours and that's what the trouble is." I hope the joyousity is out of this thing entirely. I do not feel that you need any advice or counsel from me but as a member of the race I am especially interested in our leaders and I would advise just now when the world is turned upside down, at a time when the evidence shown has efficiency as private soldier, officer and had gone over the top side by side with the southern as well as the northern white men, and have come some wearing badges of honor side by side with the members of the opposite race, when the question is being asked not only in the South but in the North, what shall we do with the Negro, would it not be well for these men to lay aside contention until the babies quit crying?

Demonstrates That Even Small Black Nations Can Nullify Our Vote. Washington, May 26.—Black men, red men, brown men; yellow men and men with mongrel mixtures of these races will control and dominate the world and the desiency of the United States if the League of Nations plan is accepted by America; Senator Reed (Mo.) Democrat declared in the Senate today. The white race in votes in the league assembly will be out numbered and the white populations of the world as represented by the League of Nations will be hopelessly in the minority. Senator Reed's speech presented a new angle of the fight against the scheme for denationalization and one which has put in a bad hole those Southern Senators who have consistently and blindly applauded every move of the President and followed his leadership in every direction. These Senators had some forewarning of the kind of speech Mr. Reed would make and were fearful of its effect on them. They make no secret of the fact now that the address has been made that it will have a tremen dous effect in the Southern States. MEMBERSHIP IS CONCEALED. "A striking illustration is found in the fact that we are new for the first time informed what mions are to coniitute the members of the league," said the Missouri Sound. "It will be remembered that the original coveant so far as published mentioned by name as members of the league the British Empire, France, Italy; Japan and the United States and that the names of the other members were referred to as being contained in a protocol the contents of which were sedulously concealed from the people. Whatever motive led to this concealment it is certain that the primal shock to American intelligence and patriotism would have been much greater if the people at first had been informed frankly who were to be the partners of the United Sates in the world Government about to be set up. "The names are now given. We know who are to sit on the council board of the international tribunal which is to undertake in many respects the government of the world. An examination of the character of this membership ought in itself to cause the instant rejection of the whole scheme. It brands the plan as futile and impossible and dooms it to an ignominious failure. WHITE COUNTRIES OUTNMBERED. "An examination of the membership of this present, league will first astonish and then arouse the indignation of every thoughtful man. It will come as a distinct shock first that this is a colored League of Nations. This is to say the majority of the nations composing the league do not belong to the white race. On the contrary they are a conglomerate of the black yellow, brown and red races frequently so intermixed and commingled as to constitute an unclassifiable mongrel breed." Mr. Reed presented tables to show that the white nations would be in the minority in the league. The table showed that countries classified as "dark" were seventeen in number, with a population of $11,000,000 while the white countries numbered fifteen with a population of only $289,000,000. "From the foregoing table" continued the Sonator, "it appears that when the members of the League of Nations meet about the council table there will be fifteen men representing white nations and seventeen men representing black, brown, yellow and red races and that among the nations classified as dark the average of the dark skinned people compared with the total population is nearly 9 to 1. "It is also shown that among these races the degree of illiteracy is astonishingly high. Where figures are available the percentage runs from nearly 50 per cent in Cuba to 98 per cent in Liberia. The average is about 85 per cent. Thus we not only bring to the council board races which are dark skinned but also those so low in civilization that they constitute the very dregs of ignorance. As I shall show later they are the victims of superstition and are steeped in bar barism. "To the votes of a tribunal thus constituted it is proposed to submit for final decision questions which may involve the very life of the United States. By their votes we may be pluffed into war; by their decision subjected to wrongs of the most grievous character; by their decree the very fate of the world may be determined. 1. How will the Senators from the classes of American Senators; 2. How will the Senators from the South, who represent States which have contended that the white race is fit to control the destiny of the State of America—who have therefore contended that the black man of the South should not be permitted to cast his individual ballot to be counted against the ballot of the white man—contend that Liberia, Hayti and other Negro or Semi-Negro nations should be permitted to sit at the council table of the world and each case votes the equal of that of the United States? 2. How can the representatives of the Pacific States who have contended and who still contend that neither Japanese nor Chinese shall land upon our shores, and that both are totally unfit for citizenship justify their con duct if they shall now vote that in the council of the world Japan and China shall each cast a vote equal to the vote of the United States? "I present a third question: In any contest which may hereafter arise involving the equality of races is it not perfectly plain that the dark races all will unite and declare for race equality in every part of the world? It must be remembered that this is a living and burning question that Japan has expressly reserved it for future consideration and that if it comes before the League of Peace as now organized the dark races will have a majority. "UNFAIR AND OUTRAGEOUS." "By what kind of logic is it proposed to bind the United States to abide by the decision of the representatives of nations where the disparity in numbers alone makes the arrangement so unfair as to be outrageous." Who can justify the giving of 450,000 ignorant half castes of Panama a vote equal to the United States? What sort of insolence is it that proposes that 50,000 civilized of semi-civilized Nerrotes of Liberia shall in the council of the world have a vote equal to the 110,000 000 people of the United States? How can it be claimed that the South African colonies which Britain conquered upon a protext that they were unfit for self-government should now with a population of only 1,000,000 white people be allowed to cast a vote equal to that of the United States? How can Great Britain ask us to permit the ignorant and superstitious hordes of India, incapable of self-government or self-defence cast a vote equal to that of the United States? "Going from these black and colored races to the white what logic will justify giving to the British Empire six votes as against a single vote of the United States for the league as now written gives to the British Empire one vote and to her dependencies, India; South Africa; New Zealand; Canada and Australia one vote each? "Against such an agreement com mon sense, justice and decency protest." Senator Reed then read copiously from an encyclopedia and standard reference works to show the low moral one, the superstition and hibernacy of the dark nations which will have equal votes with America in the league. "Will the Senator explain what they can vote on?" asked Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) the main Senatorial defender of the League of Nations. "I think it would be interesting." "On anything that America can vote on in the League of Nations" Mr. Reed responded. "The Senator is entirely mistaken" Mr. Hiltcheck asserted. "Ah, does the Senator claim the League of Nations has nothing to do? Mr. Reed demanded."Let us have it out—does it have nothing to do or does it have something to do? "The League has very little to do," Mr. Hiltcheck answered. "Then the league is a fake is it not?" Mr. Reed asked Mr. Hitecock said that practically all the powers of the proposed league are in the hands of the executive council, and the only five permanent members of that body are the United State, Great Britain; France; Italy and Japan. "Then you have not a League of Nations' replied Mr. Reed. "You have a quintuple alliance and instead of having a league of the world as the President said he was going to have you have got five great nations that have united themselves to govern and dominate the world. You plead too much, my friend. You plead that we are standing here as you have stood declaring in this hall and on the public platforms of the United States in effect that this League of Nations, the assembly of the nations of the world is to become a great force that is to control the evil passions of men and races, to ring to the world peace, harmony and good will and now you stand here declaring as your only excuse for its existence that it is a powerless thing; you stand here and proclaim to the world that the whole thing a is fake fake that it is a rotten fraud; that it is a miserable pretence and therefore it does not make any difference what you put into it, as nothing is to come out of it." The executive council was not the governing body of the proposed league. Senator Knok (Pa.) interrupted to call attention to the fifteenth section of the covenant which provides that either party to a dispute may carry it from the executive council to the membership of the league. THE COLOR PROBLEM AS USED IN DIPLOMACY. One Who Regards "Race Question" as "Ace" Held by Japanese at the Con/ence. (By William Pickens, Litt. D., LL. D., Vice President Morgan College. "The ace" do you know what it is in diplomacy? It is the "race question," the plain old color problem, that's what it is. Especially when your opponent is an American white man of the narrower school, if you hold a good "race-equality" club in your hand you are master. You have the ace of clubs when you have that. That is exactly what the Japanese had—and they won Kiao Chan because the Americans at the peace table could not withstand that club. The strong race prejudice of America proved in the hour of need to be America's weakness for Mr. Wilson and those other Americans did not wish to or intend to give the Japanese that Chinese territory. Indeed if Mr. Wilson had conceived a tempation to talk about it two months ago he would have said "in his haste" THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA as usual that it could "never be," etc. But what did the Japanese do? They came forward with a direct and uncompromising attack upon a great intangible something which Mr. Wilson and his kind of Americans value more than any other thing, material or immaterial—racial superiority. When the Japanese risked a fight on this issue of the intangible they risked only where they could not lose, for racial equality belongs to who ever can take it. The merest s'mpleton knows that. If "race equality" got written into the peace pact it would do itself no harm and if it were refused admission it would do no harm to any people who are able to maintain their own equality. The Japanese knew this. But men from Texas and Virginia give up anything in the world, including of course the whole Chinese empire rather than sign their names to a document which says that skins of other colors are just, as good as theirs. The Japanese also knew this. And this is the "ace" they held. So they just went to that Peace Conference determined to have "race equality" or bust. And in order to pacify them the American peace delegates handed over Kiao-Chao on a golden platter, with compliments and apologies. Anything on earth to get the Japs off that "race" business and save a sentiment! The "blue blood" of Texas (which by the way, is no bluer under the microscope than the blood of a chinese cookie) mus. be kept blue in theory at least. This Japanese diplomacy reminds me of a similar case in Washington, D. C. where a bright school superintendent played the same game against a narrow minded school board. He had pleaded for years to build an adequate high school for Negro children. It would take from $250,000 to $500,000. The superintendent of schools being a broad minded white American, had applied to successive school boards in vain, all of them refusing to authorize or indorse the expenditure of so much money on the Negro children who constitute one third of their school population. Finally the superintendent decided to use "diplomacy." He came to a school board meeting with an air of relief and remarked indifferently: "Gentlemen, I have been doing a little investigating and thinking and to my surprise I find that those are right you say that it will be a sheer waste of money to build a Negro High School. I find that we can even save the money that we are wasting on the present Negro high school. I have cound up the empty seats in several of our white high schools and I find that there is more than sufficient room for every Negro child of high school grade and for all that are likely to reach high school grades for years to come. There is nothing to prevent the superintendent from us ing this waste space, and it will be a tremendous saving!" I do not need to say any more. You know that he got the money for a colored high school at that meeting. The Dumbar High School, costing more than $500,000 is a monument to his fine diplomacy. So the Japanese got Kiao-Chau in spite of the fourteen points. And with such a weapon in their hands and with Virginians and Texans for their opponents, they would have won against 14,000 points. The greatest weakness of dear old United States is just this weakness. The most far-reaching proposition brought to Paris was the proposition of the equality of man. And some of the peace delegates were not equal to the moment of history which met them. (Philadelphia Public Ledger. May 13, 1919.) WANTS TO FIND HER BROTHER.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD. There are $ \mathrm{o} $ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor $ \mathrm{o} $ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use $ \mathrm{o} $ your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time.

WRITE TODAY to THE EXCELSIOR MANUFACTURING CO., 265 South Bland Street, Bluefield, West Virginia DWO COLORED RACES RULE IN WORLD LEAGUE Missouri Senator Shows That Whites Are Hopelessly in Minority. Demonstrates That Even Small Black Nations Can Nullify Our Vote. Washington, May 26. Black men, red men, brown men; yellow men and men with mongrel mixtures of these races will control and dominate the world and the destiny of the United States if the League of Nations plan is accepted by America, Senator Reed (Mo.) Democrat declared in the Senate today. The white race in votes in the league assembly will be outnumbered and the white populations of the world as represented by the League of Nations will be hopelessly in the minority. Senator Reed's speech presented a new angle of the fight against the scheme for denationalization and one which has put in a bad hole those Southern Senators who have consistently and blindly applauded every move of the President and followed his leadership in every direction. These Senators had some forewarning of the kind of speech Mr. Reed would make and were fearful of its effect on them. They make no secret of the fact now that the address has been made that it will have a tremon dots effect in the Southern States. MEMBERSHIP IS CONCEALED "A striking illustration is found in the fact that we are now for the first time informed what our fons are to cultivate the members of the league," said the Missouri State. "It will be remembered that the original covenant so far as published mentioned by name as members of the league the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan and the United States, and that the names of the other members were referred to as being contained in a protocol the contents of which were solubly concealed from the people. Whatever motive led to this concealment it is certain that the primal shock to American intelligence and patriotism would have been much greater if the people at first had been informed truely who were to be the partners of the United Sates in the world Government about to be set up. "The names are now given. We know who are to sit on the council board of the international tribunal which is to undertake in many respects the government of the world. An examination of the character of this membership ought in itself to cause the instant rejection of the whole scheme. It brands the plan as futile and impossible and dooms it to an ignominious failure. WHITE COUNTRIES OUTNUMBERED. "An examination of the membership of this present league will first astonish and then arouse the indignation of every thoughtful man. It will come as a distinct shock first that this is a colored League of Nations. This is to say the majority of the nations composing the league do not belong to the white race. On the contrary they are a conglomerate of the black yellow, brown and red races frequently so intermixed and commingled as to constitute an unclassifiable mongrel breed." Mr. Reed presented tables to show that the white nations would be in the minority in the league. The table showed that countries classified as "dark" were seventeen in number, with a population of 811,00000 white the white countries numbered fifteen with a population of only 289,000,000. "From the foregoing table" continued the Senator, "it appears that when the members of the League of Nations meet about the council table there will be fifteen men representing white nations and seventeen men representing black, brown, yellow and red races and that among the nations classified as dark the average of the dark skinned people compared with the total population is nearly 9 to 1. "It is also shown that among these races the degree of illiteracy is astonishingly high. Where figures are available the percentage runs from nearly 50 per cent in Cuba to 98 per cent, in Liberia. The average is about 85 per cent. Thus we not only bring to the council board races which are dark skinned but also those so low in civilization that they constitute the very dregs of ignorance. As I shall show later they are the victims of superstition and are steeped in bar barism. "To the votes of a tribunal thus constituted it is proposed to submit for final decision questions, which may involve the very life of the United States. By their votes we may be plunged into war; by their decision subjected to wrongs of the most grievous character; by their decree the very fate of the world may be determined. 1. How will the Senators from the classes of American Senators; 2. How will the Senators from the South, who represent States which have contended that the white race is fit to control the destiny of the State of America—who have therefore contended that the black man of the South should not be permitted to cast his individual ballot to be counted against the ballot of the white man—contend that Liberia, Haiti and other Negro or Seoul-Negro nations should be permitted to sit at the council table of the world and each cas votes the equal of that of the United States? 2. How can the representatives of the Pacific States who have contended and who still contend hat neither Japanese nor Chinese shall land upon our shores, and that both are totally unfit for citizenship justify their conduit if they shall now vote that in the council of the world Japan, and China shall each cast a vote equal to the vote of the United States? "I present a third question: In any contest which may hereafter arise involving the equality of races is it not perfectly plain that the dark races all will unite and declare for race equality in every part of the world? It must be remembered that this is a living and burning question that Japan has expressly reserved it for future consideration and that if it comes before the League of Peace as now organized the dark races will have a majority. "UNFAIR AND OUTRAGEOUS." "By what kind of logic is it proposed to bind the United States to abide by the decision of the representatives of nations where the disparity in numbers alone makes the arrangement so unfair as to be outrageous." Who can justify the giving of 150,000 innocent halt castes of Panama a vote equal to the United States? What sort of insolence is it that proposes that 50,000 civilized of semi-civilized Nexraes of Liberia shall in the council of the world have a vote equal to the 110,000,000 people of the United States? How can it be claimed that the South African colonies which Britain conquered upon a protext that they were unfit for self-government should now with a population of only 1,000,000 white people be allowed to cast a vote equal to that of the United States? How can Great Britain ask us to permit the ignorant and superstitious bodies of India, incapable of self-government or self-defence cast a vote equal to that of the United States? "Going from these black and color ed races to the white what logic will justify giving to the British Empire six votes as against a single vote of the United States for the league as now written gives to the British Empire one vote and to her dependencies: India; South Africa; New Zealand; Canada and Australia one vote each? "Against such an agreement common sense, justice and decency protest." Senator Reed then read copiously from an encyclopaedia and standard reference works to show the low moral one, the superstition and hibernacy of the dark nations which will have equal votes with America in the league. "WILL the Senator explain what they can vote on?" asked Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) the main Senatorial defender of the League of Nations. "I think it would be interesting." "On anything that America can vote on in the League of Nations" Mr. Reed responded. "The Senator is entirely mistaken" Mr. Hitchcock asserted. "Ah, does the Senator claim the League of Nations has nothing to do? Mr. Reed demanded. 'Let us nave it out—does it have nothing to do or does it have something to do?' "The League has very little to do," Mr. Hitchcock answered. "Then the league is a fake is it not?" Mr. Reed asked. Mr. Hitchcock said that practically all the powers of the proposed league are in the hands of the executive council, and the only five permanent members of that body are the United State, Great Britain; France; Italy and Japan. "Then you have not a League of Nations" replied Mr. Reed. "You have a quintuple alliance and instead of having a league of the world as the President said he was going to have you have got five great nations that have united themselves to govern and dominate the world. You plead too much, my friend. You plead that we are standing here as you have stood declaring in this hall and on the public platforms of the United States in effect that this League of Nations, the assembly of the nations of the world is to become a great force that is to control the evil passions of men and rings, to ring to the world peace, harmony and good will and now you stand here declaring as your only excuse for its existence that it is a powerless thing; you stand here and proclaim to the world that the whole thing a is fake fake that it is a rotten fraud; that it is a miserable pretence and therefore it does not make any difference what you put into it, as nothing is to come out of it." The executive council was not the governing body of the proposed league. Senator Knok (Pa.) interrupted to call attention to the fifteenth section of the covenant which provides that either party to a dispute may carry it from the executive council to the membership of the league. THE COLOR PROBLEM AS USED IN DIPLOMACY One Who Regards "Race Question" as "Ace" Held by Japanese at the Conference. (By William Fickens, Latt, D., LL. D. Vice President Morgan College.) "The ace" do you know what it is in diplomacy? It is the "race question," the plain old color problem, that's what it is, especially when your opponent is an American white man of the narrower school, if you hold a good "race-equality" club in your hand you are master. You have the ace of clubs when you have that. That is exactly what the Japanese had—and they won Kiko Gian because the Americans at the peace table could not withstand that club. The strong race prejudice of America proved in the hour of need to be America's weakness for Mr. Wilson and those other Americans did not wish to or intend to give the Japanese that Chinese territory. Indeed if Mr. Wilson had conceived a temptation to talk about it two months ago he would have said "in his haste" THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA as usual that it could "never be," etc. But what did the Japanese do? They came forward with a direct and uncompromising attack upon a great intangible something which Mr. Wilson and his kind of Americans value more than any o her thing, material or innate civil racial superiority. When the Japanese risked a fight on this issue of the intangible they risked only where they could not beseat for racial equality belongs to who ever can take it. The most simple ton knows that. If "face equality" got written in the peace paet it would do itself no harm and if it were retused admission it would do no harm to any people who are able to maintain their own equality. The Japanese knew this. But men from Texas and Virginia give up anything in the world, including of course the whole Chinese empire rather than sign their names to a document which says that skims of other colors are jus. as good as theirs. The Japanese also knew this. And this is the "race" they held. So they just went to that Peace Conference determined to have "race equality" or just. And in order to pacify them the American peace delegates handed over Kiao Chan on a golden platter, with compliments and apologies. Anything on earth to get the Japs off that "race" business and save a sentiment! The "blue blood" of Texas (which by the way, is no blower under the microscope than the blood of a Chinese cookie) must be kept blue in theory at least. This Japanese diplomacy reminds me of a similar case in Washing on, D. C., where a bright school superintendent played the same game against a narrow minded school board. He had pleaded for years to build an adequate high school for Negro children. It would take from $250,000 to $500,000. The superintendent of schools being a broad minded white American, had applied to successive school boards in vain, all of them refusing to authorize a indorse the expenditure of so much money on the Negro children who constitute one third of their school population. Pimply the superintendent decided to use "diplomacy." He came to a school board meeting with an air of "relief and reassured" indifference: "Gentlemen, I have been doing a little investigating and taking, and to my surprise I find that those are right who say that it will be a sheer waste of money to build a Negro high School. I find that we can even save the money that we are wasting on the present Negro high school. I have counsed up the empty seats in several of our white high schools and I find that there is more than sufficient room for every Negro child of high school grade and for all that are likely to reach high school grades for years to come. There is nothing to prevent the superintendent from us ing this waste space, and it will be a tremendous saving!" I do not need to say any more. You know that he got the money for a colored high school at that meeting. The Dumbar High School, costing more than $800,000 is a monument to his fine diplomacy. So the Japanese got Kiao Chau in spite of the fourteen points. And with such a weapon in their hands and with Virginians and Texans for their opponents, they would have won against 14,000 points. The greatest weakness of dear old United States is just this weakness. The most far-reaching proposition brought to Paris was the proposition of the equality of man. And some of the peace delegates were not equal to the moment of history which met them. (Philadelphia Public Ledger, May 13, 1919.) WANTS TO FIND HER BROTHER.

Other leaders have left Paris, but William Monroe Trotter of the Boston, Mass, Guardian who was refused a passport to France is still there and just when everybody thought that our side of the contention aws all over he gets the car of the Associated Press and the civilized world and the following report appears in the daily press, to the embarrassment and chagrin of President Woodrow Wilson: Paris, June 1.-William Trotter, "delegate to Paris and secretary of race petitioners to the Peace Conference," has written to President Wilson asking him in the name of the National Equal Rights League in view of recent lynchings in the south and for the sake of American Negroes who gave their lives in the war, to send a message to Congress recommending that lynching be made against the Federal Government. What is the matter with William Monroe Trotter? Does he know that this request tends to show that lawless conditions exist in the United States of America and that it emphasizes the fact that the distinguished American is needed at home to stop the hanging and burning of American citizens? No charges against the Turks can surpass in brutality the outrages perpetrated in this country. William Monroe Trotter is a peculiar character. Fifty thousand dollars put at the disposal of such a self-sacrifice race leader and agitator would have done a world of good for our cause on the other side of the water. He is indiscreet in his utterances at times and reckless in his actions, but men like him are needed to call the attention of the conservative elements to the wrongs being inflicted upon the colored people of this country. In passing, it may be well to state that President Wilson is already on record as opposing lynching and his appointee and representative, Dr. R. R. Moton has taken similar action. It is hoped then that the distinguished American President will encouch in a message the denunciation of this crowning infamy of the century and spur to action a Republican congress that should need no spurring. Lynch-law must go. SEEING THINGS The polite and diplomatic Frenchmen have had a way of speaking about, "Our Friends, the enemy" and after reading the following report in the New York Sun, we feel inclined to use the same language: A warning regarding the dangers of a great Negro migration from the South to the North was issued yester day by the Rev. Dr. Charles A. McAlpine of the national committee of the Northern Baptist League. "Since the start of the war hundreds of thousands of Negroes have poured into New York; Chicago; Pittsburg; Detroit; Philadelphia and other great cities," said Dr. McAlpine. "They have been herded together and crowded shamefully. The presence of these strangers in our Northern cities has created a social and religious problem almost without precedent. "The great migration of Negroes has become a serious means to our Northern cities, it is indeed a perilous thing to have armies of illiterate untrained human beings suddenly march into our cities. The time has come for the establishment of community centres in the Negro colonies of several Northern cities." Dr. McAlpine warns the churches to take cognizance of the problem. Just why the Rev. Dr. Charles A. McAlpine did not see fit to use similar language relative to the European hordes that have been doing the same thing for half a century only goes to show that he is blased in his views and warped in his judgement. These colored people in many instances left well-to-do homes to chase the ignus fatus of northern equality and big wages. They got the latter and have been vainly looking for the former, while their southern white friends are looking to them with long eyes, hoping that they may get tired of it all and "come on back home." We are frank to say that we have doubted the wisdom of this wholesale migration from one section to another. It has done much good in that it has caused white folks in the Southland to treat us better and those in the northland to treat us worse. It has been an era of genuine reform so to speak. While our language is in general terms, we do not mean to say that it applies to all cases. God knows we have had a hard time of it down here, but then it could have been worse and just now, we note that tens of thousands of our white friends are coming to our aid and are doing all that they can to improve our condition. This war has changed both the white and black people. Dr. McAlpine is looking at the northern situation through the glasses of race prejudice, forgeful of the fact that God has a hand in it all and that He will see to it that conditions will be adjusted to the colored folks, who went north and that the colored folks who went north will adjust themselves to existing conditions. If our people have been herded together and crowded shamefully who was responsible and who will remedy this condition of affairs? The same is true right here in Tichmond and in other southern cities. Remedies are being suggested and patriotic white men right here are working out the problem. If this distinguished churchman is tired of our folks in the Northland after they have helped the country in the industrial plants and have helped win the war, then provide the money and other necessities and send them all back home. --- DOCTOR KELLY MILLER'S CONFESSION Some of the colored people of Washington seem never to be so happy as when they are in turmoil and strife with each other. Just now they are having the time of their lives over the public schools of that city. The meetings have been crowded and the oratory displayed would do credit to those stormy times when Col. Perry Carson and the redoubletable Editor, William Calvin Chase held sway. Even so conservative a character as the learned and influential Dr. Kelly Miller has been drawn into the maclestm of discussion and we have been very much amused and interested in much that he has had the hardihood and boldness to say. We quote him as follows: The aftermath of the Moens case has involved the colored schools in confusion. Charges have been made which place the entire teaching force under suspicion. As long as some of the teachers whose names are not specified are branded for alleged complicity in the Moens scandal over high-minded member of the body must resent the implication. The colored press throughout the country has circulated the news until the reputation of the teaching staff has become unsavory to the outside public, ignorant of the inside facts. Indefinite reflections make little or no impression upon the right minded citizens of Washington who live among these teachers and know them as friends, neighbors and good citizens. A somewhat full statement of the essential facts in the case seems to be a simple act of justice to all concerned and to the good name of the colored citizens of the Captial of the Nation. In the above manner, Dr. Miller "wades in." He continues: Personally, I share some measure of responsibility for the introduction of Prof. Moens to the leading colored men of Washington. He came to me with a letter of introduction from Dr. W. E. B. DuBois editor of the Crisis, setting forth that he was a foreign scientist sympathetically interested in the study of the race prob lem. On the basis of his credentials and of his declared purpose he was received by the Cosmos Club and accorded the privileges of the Government bureaus for the prosecution of his alleged scientific research. It will be seen that, not being satisfied with assuming a partial responsibility for the entrance of the white libertine Prof. Moens into the public school system of the District of Columbia, he proceeds to use virtually the language of Adam, relative to his spouse Eve. Adam said, "The woman beguiled me and I did eat." Dr. Kelly Miller says: "Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois editor of the Crisis sent Prof. Moens to me with a letter of introduction setting forth that he was a foreign scientist sympathetically interested in the race problem and with his sympathetic encouragement I introduced him to scientific Washington and he was placed in the public schools of the District." It later developed that his sympathetic interest in the race was specifically directed to naked colored girls, whose photos were found in his apartments. Dr. Miller continues: Dr. John Van Schalek, president of the Board of Education reasonably enough, accorded him entre to the public schools for observation and study of interesting and anthropological types. There is no good reason why any well credited scientist might not be accorded like opportunity. Sometime later, it developed that Professor Moens was under suspicion by the Department of Justice as an alien spy. As a result of their in investigations, pictures were found in his possession of a type which constitutes criminal offense under the local code. Upon this charge he was tried and convicted by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. It developed during the trial that one colored teacher aided Moens. It should be said however in justice to the teacher who was deceived into aid ing Prof. Moens is a woman of unusual culture and refinement with a finished European education. She is over fifty years of age and has a wide and intimate acquaintance among the best people of Washington both the white and colored. Her reputation, her character and high purpose have never been challenged and even in the midst of this distressing ordeal, it remains unimpeached. This is a high compliment paid to the female teacher, who has been forced to resign from the public schools of Washington. Just how her virtual dismissal can be justified is a mystery to us. Dr. Miller continues: When it was revealed at the trial that this teacher had been adding Moens the colored population because inflamed and demanded her immediate withdrawal from the teaching force. Unfortunately, the school board permitted this teacher to continue her school duties at the Dunbar High School as if nothing had happened. The enraged populace under the leadership of the Parents' League picketed the high school building and forced the withdrawal of the teacher. This together while declaring her own integrity of purpose recognized the embarrassing situation and tended her resignation. Had the Board of Education acted upon the advice of the assistant superintendent and caused this teacher to withdraw from the teaching force the resultant con fusion and turmoil would not have arisen. We cannot understand why the Assistant Superintendent of Schools should have recommended that an innocent teacher should get down and out unless the suspicion against her partook of the nature of a certainty. Jesus Christ was treated by Pontius Pilate in the same way and the name Pilate has been excercised to this day. What should have been done is plainly evident. The teacher should have been suspended from active duty pending an investigation of the charges against her lodged by the Parents' League. If guilty, she should have been kicked out of the public school system and if innocent she should have again been assigned to duty. But Dr. Kelly Miller says further: By this time the populace had become incensed and foll that their protest had forced the resignation of the objectionable teacher and that the school board had failed in their plain duty to safeguard the moral welfare of the colored children placed under their charge. Mass meetings were called, to which thousands re-sponded. It was alleged that there were other "Moens teachers" who must be eliminated. A petition with 20,000 signatures was presented to the Board of Education demanding the dismissal of the assistant superintendent in charge of the public schools who was held answerable for all of the faults of the system from the beginning until now. Are there other Moens in the public school system of Washington? How can you find this out other than through rigid investigations of existing conditions led by counsel for the Parents' League, who should be given an opportunity to unearth and expose every scandal or alleged scandal in the system? Dr. Miller says: Assistant Superintendent Bruce, it is fair to state did all that was possible under the limitation of his powers to have the Moens propaganda excluded from the schools. He is in no sense blameworthy for any of the scandal growing out of this affair. But the Parents League shifted their attack suddenly to Mr. Bruce, and demanded his immediate dismissal. All of his imperfections real or alleged, during his whole career were catalogued. According to Dr. Kelly Miller's statement Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce is not guilty of any charges, but the demand is being made for his dismissal. It seems that the teaching body had the proper idea about the whole affair for he says: The teaching body, feeling keenly the stigma cast upon them, petitioned the Board of Education to investigate the affair and to isolate and punish the guilty if any and vindicate the good name of the rest. The Department of Justice has declared it has no information in its possession which involves the name of a single teacher in the Moens case other than the one already referred to. The President of the Board of Education has informed the president of the Parents' League that "All rumors or intimations to the effect that any other teachers or officials were involved in the case are absolutely without foundation in fact. It should be definitely and finally stated that no official within the system has been discovered who was in any way involved except to aid in the process of exposing the unfortunate conditions found to be existent." Notwithstanding this declaration on the part of the Department of Justice and the Board of Education the Parents' League still continues to hold mass meetings and to repeat Time.

And again: The Board of Education has finally decided to give the Parents" League a hearing and to allow Mr. Bruce to plead to any charges that might be brought against him. The Parents" League standing avowedly for the moral welfare of the community, should produce their charges with supporting evidence against Mr. Bruce or the teachers whom they deem unworthy and give them a full fair chance for self-defense. The sense of fair play demands nothing less. Agitation concerning our public schools is periodic. The people have no voice in the government under which they live and the pent up feeling seeks outlet through this channel. The colored people have no established channels of public opinion like the Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce like the whites. The mass meeting is the only agency they have through which to make their feelings and wishes known. The schools reach into every household in the community. Mass meetings are not always logical or consistent, in their demands but they express in violent form the pent-up feelings which have great evidential value like the cry of the child which has no language but a cry, This is exactly what the Board of Education should have done in the first instance. It is a case of "Much ado about something" instead of "Much ado about nothing." There is an organized propaganda to destroy some body and something. In carrying out the will and pleasure of his superior officers, Prof. Bruce has no doubt antagonized his own people. It is an interesting situation. Is Professor Bruce guilty? Is the woman in the case guilty? Have both outlived their usefulness? If they are innocent, should they retain office or should they be sacrificed to the unreasoning and unreasonable clamor of the mob? If these people are guilty, then we are with the Parents League. If they are innocent, then we are with them and against the Parents League whether in its membership may be found ten people or ten thousand. How can these facts be determined save by an investigation and a trial? If Prof. Bruce is innocent, he should demand a trial. If he is guilty in part or as a whole he should resign and he should be quick about doing it. But what have we to do with the controversy anyway? People sending letters here got us into it and Dr. Kelly Miller is also responsible. God help the colored folks of Washington. When it comes to raising a row and engaging in useless discussions, many of them are supreme in the business. Certain it is that the statement of the case is puzzling from all sides and the way the matter has been handled has tended to make con fusion worse confounded. Let us have peace if not in Washington; then out side of Washington but let us have peace. The "boys" are coming back all of them tell the same story. The Allies may engage in war again this year or next year, but one thing is certain they will go the route alone without the military assistance of Uncle Sam. The anarchists are spreading a reign of terror throughout the country. Bombs have been placed at the residences and in the offices of many prominent citizens in this country. Some people say this country is on the verge of revolution, but there are enough patriotic colored men to join in with the patriotic white ones to subjugate those who would plunge this country into another civil war. --- As Dr. Kelly Miller, has "put Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in the school rumpus" in Washington after getting in to it himself, it will be inorder now for Dr. Dullois to explain just how he came to recommend prof. Moens, an alien enemy and a libertine, Dr. Millers' very able communication clears him so to speak and shows that he acted in good faith in presenting the professor to the Washington Public School officials. We suspect that all of these gentlemen were deceived by this wily foreigner who proved himself to be "a wolf in sheep's clothing." --- The marital knot will not stay tied somehow these days except in some cases. --- A woman who will not take care of her own husband will have a hard time with some of them we know. Many colored folks now are reading colored newspapers. Most of them purchase them by the copy. They do this so that they can pay more, but can stop when they wish to do so, without anyone knowing Germany has declined to sign the Peace Treaty in its present form as submitted by the Allies. The spokesman for that country says that while Germany cannot fight any more now, she can say No and she is saying it. --- President Wilson evidently wants to come home. He has ordered the George Washington steamship to be ready to bring him to this country on a moment's notice. It might be well to remember too that Congress is in session. --- A sensation was caused in Washington when it was announced that the text of the Peace Treaty as submitted to Germany was in New York and in the official archives of the Department of State, but had not been transmitted to the United States Senate that is a part of the treaty making power as provided by the Constitution of the United States. Under the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States recently though, all laws are suspended during the course of the war so to speak and what would be unlawful during peace times is permissible during war times under the power conferred upon the President of the United States by the Congress. These are peculiar times and more peculiar conditions. FLORENCE LETTER (E B Webster) Florence, S. C., June 1.—The Rev Richard Carroll, of Columbia, S. C. preached at Trinity Baptist Church both morning and evening. On Sunday morning he selected as a text, 6 and 7 verses of the 40th Psalm. He emphasized the mission and the suffering of Jesus Christ. He said we can see only one step before us at a time and good it is for us that it is so. If $w_0$ knew when we were to do we could not stand the worry. But with Christ it was far different. His future good out in panoramic view before Him and it grieved Him But Ho said, "Not my will but the will of the Father be done." Quite a crowd was out to hear the distinguished dylip. At nine o'clock P. M. he made a second effort to break the bread of Life. His subject was, "The Devil and His Works." The Rev. Taylor the pastor read as a lesson the 20th chapter of Revolutions. Rev. Carroll used as a text the 33rd verse of the 23rd chapter of the book of St. Matthew, "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers. How can ye escape the damnation of hell." The speaker said that the devil had been with God so long that he is well up in knowledge. I n every meeting, in all business of whatever sort, he is there. He is in this Church tonight he said. He has a hand in all church matters. He appoints teachers in Sab- bath Schools, and in many cases dictates the policy. He assists in ordaining deacons so that he might have a representative to carry out his plans. He also calls men to the ministry and often selects texts for the best of us to preach. He requires of his followers to be neutral, have nothing to say for nor against the upbuilding of God's Kingdom. He causes the train wrecks and automobile accidents. He is the prince of the air and gets up severe storms. After we pray to the Lord for advice along certain lines and before we finish our prayer the devil furnishes the advice. Many thought Rev, Carroll was at his best. He certainly caused his hearers to think, Rev, Carroll left on the 10 o'clock train for Columbia to return on next Tuesday to assist in a revival meeting here, The pastor, Rev, C, T, Taylor ably assisted him during the service. Misses White and Thomas paid a visit to their contemporary, Miss Leona Mae Webster on Monday P. M. They teach at the city graded school and came to say goodbye, Miss Annio Scarlett, of Scarlett, Ga., Irene C. Baxter, of Jacksonville, Fla., Mr. Len Steward, of Albany, Ga. Junlors of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Rev. H. W. Wilkins, B. F., H. of Savannah Ga. passed through the city recently enroute for their homes. The writer had met Miss Scarlett on a former occasion and found her to be the same gay spirit and enjoys reading Negro newspapers. Miss A. I. Brown, of Charleston, S. C. passed here enroute to Brooklyn N. Y. to be maid of honor for a friend on June 4. FARMVILLE NEWS. Farmville, Va., June 2.—Baptizing was at the First Baptist Church, Sunday A. M. 'A large crowd was present. Mrs. Lizzie Robinson is visiting her sister, who is quite ill at Roanoko. Mrs. Mary Almond of Keysville was the week end guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Farrar. She was accompanied back to her home by their little daughter Inez. Mr. Joseph D. Jordan is home from Washington, D. C. Mr. James Holmes of Petersburg was the guest of his niece, Mrs. Annie Mae Brown last week. Mr. Matt Griggs is home from Philadelphia. Mrs. Minnie Reid has returned from the Memorial Hospital at Richmond greatly improved. Mrs. Jones of New York is in the city visiting her sister, Mrs. Julia Price. We are glad to see so many of our boys and girls returning from various schools and colleges of the State. They add much life indeed to the city. Dr. Philip Hilton is home from Washington. At Beulah A. M. E. Sunday School the lesson was beautifully taught and explained by Supt. R. H. A. Brown and the teachers. The school is growing. At 11:30 the pastor discoursed on the second of his series of sermons from the messages to the seven Churches of Asia Minor. Communion was administered after the morning's sermon. At 8:30 P. M. we heard a brief but interesting discourse from Psalms 11:19, "Open to me the gates of righteousness."

When Lynch's ody was swung into the alr the spee- tators including many women and chil aren eheered . Lynch is one of few white men to be lynched in Missouri. Immediately after Judge B. ‘a. ‘Thurman passed sentence he ordered Lynch taken to his office under guard of seven deputies. elfre he was al- lowed to sreet his wife, baby, moth- er and sister, His handeuffs had been removed that he might hold his baby and he had just given the child back to its mother when the men entered and seized him. Lynch this afternoon had been brought from Butler, Mo., where he had been held in Jail since his arrest in Colorado several weeks ago. There were no threats when he was brought from the train to the courthouse. There was no show cf violence in the courtroom when the prisoner was ar raingned and according (0 witnesses the men composing the mob gathered in the corridors of the courthouse and in the yard and no warning was giv en of their action. Capital punishment is not possible under a Jaw enacted by the Legiste ture in 1917, An attempt was made t repeal the present law shortly afte the Lynch shooting and the chlof sur porter of the repeal of the law was Representative Henry Chancellor o Barton County, where Lyneh wa: hanged.
