RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library TIME IS FREETING - NO PARKING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY GETS A BAD NAME IN EUROPE Common Room, Middle Temple, London, E. C. To the Editor of The Planet: It is now up to the American Republic with its brazen impudence in emblazoning before the world its audacious and meaningless twaddle that. "We believe that all men are born free and equal and entitled to the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" to take a lesson from the French Republic which last week, at the request of its two colored statesmen from Martinique and Gaudeloupe, respectively, passed a resolutional affirming the equality, legal, social and economical, of all colored citizens throughout the entire French Dominions, therefore colored professional men resident in Europe call upon all Yankeeedom with its high pretensions, grandfatherly clauses and hambug to set up and take notice. The epithet Yankee at present is a stink in the nostrils of France. Your riff-raff, called soldiers, have sadly disgraced all decent Americans and sadly disgraced the American uniform. Read the inclosed cutting from the London Evening News, August 2, and you will see the Yankee soldier police beat, tyrannized and murdered Colored French soldiers in the towns of Brest and Toulon and the polite French statesmen asked the two colored members not to reopen these regrettable incidents but to rely upon the honor of American Government who had promised to punish these miscreants. "Paris, Saturday. Two coloured deputies MM. Boisneuf (Guadeloupe) and Lagrosiilliere (Martinique) interpellated the Government in the Chamber this afternoon regarding the rough treatment French coloured soldiers are alleged to have received from American Military Police at the French ports. "The Minister of the Interior requested the deputies not to insist upon the discussion of 'very regrettable incidents.'" "The United States Government had agreed to inflict punishment, while satisfaction would be given to the families of the victims. "A resolution affirming the equality of all coloured citizens, declaring them entitled to the protection of the law and calling on the Government to inflict punishment and prosecute in all cases of breach of the law, by whomsoever committed, was unanimously adopted.—Reuter." Murders, hold-ups and robberies all over Paris were committed by the soldiers. No colored gentlemen or ladies of any nationality could walk about Paris without being insulted by these white Americans for none of these crimes was committed by a single colored soldier. It was with great satisfaction that I ordered two French policemen to arrest and march off to the station a white American soldier who shouted grossly insulting words after me in the Boulevard Madeline. When I got the fellow at the door of the police station I, like Robert Cliot, to a fire-eater in the House, "granted him the mercy of my silence." I let him off with a caution. The French policemen know no color or favoritism. If a colored man or woman is insulted they will run the insulter in, whatever nation he be from. The colored man-of-war sailors from Brazil, here in England, were attacked at the port of Southampton, while dancing with English girls; but it turned out that the colored Brazilian boys were prepared for the Yankee Negro-haters and promptly drew their revolvers and defended themselves. As a race man I am bound to wara the readers of your very able and useful paper against being led stray by the groundless assertion of some of their would-be leaders that his much lauded League of Nations is to take up our Race's grievances in America and adjudicate upon them egregious error! Nothing of the sort is contemplated. Neither Jew, rish or Negro affairs will be recognized by the L. N. Lord Reading and I are both members of the Temple and I have it from his own lips that the internal affairs of signatory nations will never come before the league. So the bluff of the Editor of The Boston Guardian is "called" completely. He came over here pretending to use influence. Wilson had him sat upon. I was in Paris. Iought he seemed in search of a French wife. Likowo is the other man, Mr. DuBois, who came over here pretending to hold an All-African convention. Silly rot! He held nothng of the kind. There were no Africans there of representative or any other character. ARCHIBALD JOHNSON. Barrister-at-Law. Middle Temple, London, England, August 3, 1919. PERSONALS AND BRIEFS.

THE SAGE REMARKS OF REVER DY C. RANSOM AT THE 52D CONVENTION OF THE ST. LUKES. Before a throng of several thousand representatives of the Negro race in the City Auditorium, Tuesday night, August 19, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom went straight to his mark in discussing what he termed the "Overshadowing Issue in America To-day," the Negro question. All the way from the conditions that brought about the civil war up through the administration of President McKinley to the preset day. Mr. Ransom proved as he went along that the Negro question is the overshadowing issue at the bar of American public thought. The League of Nations was laid before the audience in its relation to the welfare of America and he showed that to be only secondary to the Overshadowing Question. The industrial unrest now taking hold of the entire continent—the labor situation, which is largely a Negro question—was dissected in all its ramifications as bearing on the future of America. In a plea for justice for his people he said, "Give honor to whom honor is due. Nobody but a little man and a little woman will permit their minds to be filled with jealousy. Give to a man what belongs to him whether you like, him or not." With consure and criticism in his eye for those who claim an improper position as "leaders" he continued: "And with all of the men among us in this hour who have risen to that proportion only one man has 'put it over' and that is Monroe Trotter. I know that that, DuBois went over vonder and he did splendid work and did it well. As to Major Motona, the less said the better, but as for Mr. Trotter, he is the only one American. You ask what did he do? He got this question before the Peace Conference. That is what he did and he did more than the delegates Continued on Second Page.

Austin, Texas, August 23.—John R. Shillady, a white man, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was severely beaten and placed on board an outbound train for St. Louis yesterday. He had been "inciting Negroes against the whites" and had previously been warned to leave Austin, according to County Judge Dave J. Pickle, of Travis county. The attack on Shillady, Judge Pickle said was made by himself, Constable Charles Hamby and Ben Pierce none of whom, he declared, would shirk responsibility in the matter, Judge Pickle emphasized, however, that he and his companions were acting unofficially. Up to a late hour last night no charges had been preferred against Shillady's assaults. Shillady was returning from a meeting with Negroes, Judge Pickle declared, in describing the attack "I told him (Shillady)" the judge said later, "that his actions were inciting the Negroes against the whites and would cause trouble and warned him to leave town. I told him our Negroes would cause no trouble if left alone. I shipped him and ordered him to leave, because I thought it was for the best interest of Austin and the state." ON A MISSION OF "INQUIRY." Shillady came to Austin Thursday and visiting the attorney-general's department, it was learned, made inquiry concerning the operation of "foreign corporations" in Texas, and asked why a local branch of the National Association for the Advance-banded here two weeks ago. He was told the association had no permit to do business in Texas, and the disbanding of the branch was entirely in the hands of local authorities. Shillady then went to the adjutant general's department, it is said, and asked why the Texas Rangers were interfering with his association. Assistant Adjutant-General W. D. Cope is said to have replied that the Rangers have been investigating organizations among Negroes since the race riots at Longview about a month ago and had found that the teaching of the advancement association, "which advocates racial equality," was creating trouble between the races. Late yesterday Shillady was haled before a "court of inquiry," the proceedings of which have not been disclosed. Judge Pickle says at this time he warned Shillady to leave Austin because he was creating trouble. Shortly before noon yesterday Shillady held a conference with Negroes and while returning to his hotel was accosted by Judge Pieble, Hamby and Pierce. Constable Ham by, according to the county judge, asked Shillady why he was holding meetings and "stirring up more trouble than Austin citizens can get rid of in ten years." "You don't see my point of view," answered Shillady, accordiing to Pike. "I'll fix you so you can't see," replied Hamby, as he struck Shillady in the eye with his fist. JUDGE JOINED IN ATTACK Judge Pickle she and Pierce joined in the fray and Shillady was beaten until his face bled freely and he "asked for mercy." Shillady then was escorted to the station, where he purchased a ticket for St. Louis, and left Austin with a final warning by Constable Hamby not to stop in the limits of Texas. There was no indication that local Negroes resented the affair. SHULLADY DENIES RACIAL EQUALITY WAS ADVOCATED Waco, Texas, August 23.—With a wide, dark circle around his right eye, and cuts and contusions on face and lips, John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who was attacked and ordered out of Austin, passed through Waco on his way to St. Louis. Fight or ten men attacked him an front of his hotel, Shillady said, but did not, so far as he knew, use any-hing but their fists. Shillady declared his visit to Texas was in the interest of the association of which he is secretary. The association, he declared, did not have social equality between whites and Negroes for its object, as reported at Austin, but was concerned with questions of policy and special efforts to prevent lynchings. At the state capitol, he said, he had intended to confer with Governor W. P. Hobby, and Attorney-General C. M. Cureton. The governor was out of the city ad he conferred with one of the assistants in the attorney-general's office. While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has not been chartered in Texas, there were several branches of the PRICE, FIVE CENTS organization in the state, he said, and his visit had to do with obtaining a charter. Shillady said he did not plan to make any further stops in Texas and was not prepared to state what action his association would take as a result of the attack upon himself. NEGRO ORGANIZATION ASNS GOVERNOR WHAT HE IS DOING New York, August 23.--Officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People last night sent a telegram to Governor Hobby, of Texas, inquiring "what efforts are being made at once to punish the offenders" who admitted a heating yesterday to John R. Shillady, secretary of the organization. It was asserted that "every effort will be made to secure retribution for this outrageous assault."

VICTIM IS FOUND BOUND BY MRS. GRIVER C. DULA. Three unidentified highwaymen held up Percy Dowell, colored chauffeur for Thomas L. Moore of Warner, Moore and Co., proprietors of Dunlap Mills, yesterday afternoon on the Cary Street Road, robbed him of his pocketbook, bound him hand and foot gagged him threw him in clump of bushes took possession of the automobile and made a clean getaway. The seven-passenger car, valued at $4,000 was later found abandoned on Grace street between Fifth and Sixth but no trace of the highwaymen has been discovered. Police of a dozen large cities were immediately notified to be on the lookout for the men answering the description given by the chauffeur. The chauffeur's pocketbook contained £50 in currency and his chauffeur's license and in addition to these losses Dowell was badly scared. ATTACKED AT 4:30 O'CLOCK. Dowell was proceeding along the Cary Street Road toward Richmond at 4:30 o'clock to keep an appointment with his employer when he was accosted by a lone man walking along the side of the road. The chaunt fear slowed down and came to a halt to see what was wanted. As he did so two other men with guns jumped out of the bushes and ordered him out of the car. Dowell completed and the highwaymen went through his pockets taking his pock et book and after gagging him, bound his hands and feet and threw him in to a growth of shrubbory. Then they got into the automobile and made their escape. Oddly enough, the road was deserted while this exciting Wild West drama was being staged. A few minutes later Mrs. Grover Dula, of Westmoreland Place, and her chauffeur came by and upon seeing Dowell who had managed to squirm nearer to the roadside, they got out unbound the cords and brought the frightened chauffeur into Richmond. Dowell immediately reported the holdup to the police and at 5 o'clock the car was found but the bold high waymen had effected their escape. The holdup took place about a half a mile west of the belt line bridge. One of the men was described as wearing a dark green suit and cap, height about five feet six inches and weighed about 140 pounds. An im perfect description of the other two was given. Dowell being so badly scared that he was unable to observe anything about them beyond that their height appeared to be about 5 feet four inches and weight about 140 pounds. All three were young white men. Dowell had been in the employ of Mr. Moore for several years prior to his going overseas and upon his return and release from service he was given his former job. (Trues Dispatch August 21, 1919.) --- MURDERING NEGROES AT WASHINGTON. Editorial Appearing in Current Issue of La Follette's Magazine. Sent out From Sonator La Follette's Office Washington. D. C. The mobbing of harmless, helpless Negroes in the Capitol of this country is the nation's everlasting shame. The responsibility for starting the riots, which ruled Washington for days, rests upon disorderly lawless whites. Peaceable, unoffending colored men and boys were beaten up and murdered by brutes who boast of our white civilization. A reign of hysteria and terror prevailed throughout the sections of the city where the colored population resides. They feared a "new East St. Louis." They armed themselves as best they could and barricaded their homes. There were colored soldiers among them who had served with distinction in France, some of whom had been wounded "fighting to make the world safe for democracy." While the United States Senate is debating the League of Nations, which would make us the custodians of the peace of the World and special in structors in democratic ideals to less enlightened people, we were murdering innocent, intelligent, God fearing, law abiding colored citizens at the back door of the White House. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but con siderest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or who can must, then say to thy brother, Brother, let me must out the mote that is in thine eye when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

Julien in the East Rochester Finnish Congregational Church, David Mehonan of Wareham was fined $5 by Judge Washburn of that village in court. Mehonan was only recently rehabilitated in the church after being ex-pelled for disorderly conduct more than a year ago. He stronely de-dued any intent to disturb and insist that Rev.

CHEVROLET PROMINENT ZION CLERGYMEN ATTEND CONNECTIONAL COUNCIL Drs. S. D. Davis, Indianapolis and E. P. Mayo of Tennessee Honored. Allen's National News Service, 221 W. 136th St., New York, N. Y. The annual session of the connec tional council of the A. M. E. Zion Church which met in Patterson N. J., last week brought to this session some of the most prominent and loyal men of the church. They came from their various sections to tell what they were doing to make the Zion churches one of the forces in Methodism, and to hear how the organization and the great machine was running under the twelve Negro bishops of the church. Judging from the interest that was taken in the council, and the large number of delegates that passed thru the metropolis, the meeting was one of the most important in the history of the church. Among the prominent delegates whom your correspondent saw and interviewed and who referred to the council as one of the most successful in its history were the Rovs. Dr. S. D. Davis the pastor of the Jones Tabernacle A. M. E. Zion church in Indianapolis and E. P. Mayo pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church in Bristol, Tenn., and formly presiding elder of the St. Louis district. When seen by your correspondent they were optimistic over the growth of the church and were proud to see the work that the Zion church was doing in New York. Rev. Dr. Mayo struck your correspondent as being a man of wide experience and erudite training and who was hopeful of the work of the church. In the west where he has been laboring for several years he has made himself felt in the direction of his work, and is regarded by the church as being one of the ablest men of St. Louis conference of which Bishop J. C. Caldwell is the head. As presiding elder of the St. Louis district he did much to devel op that field, which is one of the most strategic points in the middle west. He resigned this office to take the pastorate at Bristol. He told your correspondent that the work at this point was progressing and that the church had a loyal membership. Rev. Mayo believes that at least one more bishop should be elected at the coming general conference to carry on the work of the church and to relieve the strain that is now up on the present bishopric. Dr. Mayo himself is candidate for office, having been named as candidate for the Manager of the Publication House, in Charlotte, N. C., and in the opinion of your correspondent in the event of his election he would bring to that office dignity and a wide expérience. While here he preached at the First Emmanuel Church and addressed the J. C. Price Lyceum of Mother Zion Church. THE INTERNATIONAL ATHLETIC CHAMPIONS. Rev. Dr. S. D. Davis, who for the past two years has been pastor of the Jones Tabernacle A. M. E. Zion Church is a man of quite conservation and force. He represents the younger group of the Zion leaders and gives evidence of being one of the finest possibilities of the future leadership of the church. The Jones Tabernacle of which he is pastor is one of the strongest and best appoint ed in the connection is valued at $32 000 and has a membership of 1,100. He is the Vice President of the Board of Audits of the Church. He is a native of Arkansas and is a graduate of the Branch Normal College, at Pine Bluff. Dr. Davis was proud of the work that the connection was doing in New York and had high hopes of the future work of the church. Much of the success of the work he has accom plished has been due to his wife, Mrs. S. D. Davis, who accompanied him on his tour. Before returning to their work, both Revs. Mayo and Davis visited Philadelphia, and Atlantic City. SOME SHOE WORKERS MAKING $120.00 A WEEK. Many Make $60, Boston Grand Jury Learns.

PROMINENT ZION CLERGYMEN APLEND CONNECTIONS COUNCLL, Drs. 8. D. Davis, Didianapolis and B, P, Mayo of ‘Tennessee Honored, Allen's National News Service, B21 W. Leth St, New York, ‘ N. Y. ‘he annual session of Ahe connee tional council of the A. M. 1B, Zion Church whieh met in Patterson N. J., last. week” brought (0 this session some of the most prominent and loyal men of the chureh. ‘They came from their yarlous see tions to tell what they were doing to make the Zion churches one of the forces in Methodism, and to hear how the organization and the great machine was running under the twelve Negro bishops of the chureh. Judging from the interest that was taken in the couneil, and the large number of delegates Mat passed thru the metropolis, the meeting was one of the most important in tie history of the chureh, Among the prominent delegates whom your correspondent saw and interviewed and who refer-- ed to the council as one of the most successfitl in its history were the (Revs. Drs. S. D. Davis the pastor ‘of the Jones Tabernacle A. M. EB. Zion church in Indianapolis and B. P. Mayo pastor of the A. M. BE. Zion Chureh in Rristol, ‘Tenn. and form erly presiding elder of the St. Louls district. When seen by your corre spondent they were optimistic over the growth of the church and were proud to sce the work that the Zion church was doing in Now York. Rev. Dr. Mayo struck your correspondent as being a man of wide experience and erudite training and who was hopeful of the work of the chureh. TH the west where he has heen labor ing for several years he has made himself felt. in the direction of his work, and is regarded by the church as being one of the ablest men of St. Louis conference of which Bishop J. ©, Caldwell is the head. As presiding older of the St. Louis district he did much to devel op that field, which is one of the Most styategie points in the middle: west. Te resigned this office to take the pastorate at Bristol, “Me told your correspondent that the work at this point was progressing and that the church had a loyal membership. Mey. Mayo believes that at least one more bisuop — should be elected at the coming general conference to carry on the work of the chureh and to relieve the strain that is now up on the present bishopric. Dr. Mayo himself is candidal for offiee, hav - ing heen named as candidate for the Manager of the Publication Mouse, in Charlotte, NG, and in the opin ton of your correspondent in tite event of his election he would bring to that office dignity and a wide ex Perience, White here he preached at the First@mmanuel Church and ad- dressed the J.C. Price Lyceum of Mother %ion Church, Rey. Dr. S. D. Davis, who for the past wo years Nas been pastor of the Jones ‘Tabernacle A, Mo. Hien Chureh Is a man of quite conserva Hon and force, Io represents the younger group of the — Zion leaders and gives’ evidence of being one of the finest possibilities of the tnture lendership of the church. ‘The Jones Tabernacle of which he is pastor 13 one of the strongest and hest appoint cd in the connection is valucd at $32 000 and has a membership of 1.100. He is the Vico President of the Roard of Audits of the Church. He is a na. tive of Arkansas and is a graduate ‘of the Branch Normal College, at Pine Bluff. Dr. Davis was proud of the work that the conneetion was doing in New York and had high hopes of the future work of the church. Much of the suecess of the work he has accom plished has been due to his wife, Mrs. 8. D. Davis, who accompanied him on his tour Before returning to thelr work, both Revs. Mayo and Davis — visited Philadelphia, and Auantic City. +2 SOME SHON WORKERS MAKING $120.00 A WEEK, Many Make $60, Boston Grand Jury Learns.

Washington, Aug. 25.—Recent race plots throughout the country were in cited by radical Negro leaders who are striving to force members of their race into the ranks of the revo lationary elements of the country, Representative James F. Byrnes (S. C.) asserted on the floor of the House today. Mr. Byrnes charged an extensive campaign is being carried on by radial leaders urging the Negroes to join the I. W. W. as the only organization in which they may obtain radial equality. Many appeals of Negro radicals for violence as the way of obtaining what they call their rights particularly on the part of the returning Negro soldiers were read to the House by Mr. Byrnes. Evidence of activities have been placed before the Department of Justice he said. One aim of the radicals, Mr. Byrnes said, is to establish what would prac among the Negroes of the South. These radical leaders of the Negro race, he said are urging their fellowers to resort to violence in order to secure privileges they believe them selves entitled to and the recent race riots indicate they are accepting this bad advice. It is manifest that when sanguinary conflicts take place in cities so widely separated as Washington and Chicago in such a short time the cause is general not local. QUOTES FROM NEGRO PAPER "A fair illustration of the type of radical Negro leadership is W. E. B. Dubois editor of the Crisis magazine Herotofore he has rendered great service to his people by intelligent leadership." Mr. Byrne then referred to an editorial in the Crisis urging the Negroes to rise up and "save America for democracy or know the reason why." The editorial with the title "Returning Soldiers" follows in part: "We sing: This country of ours, despite all its butter souls have done and dreamed, is yet a harmful land. "It lynches. It disfranchises its own citizens. It encourages ignorance. It steals from us. It insults us." To support each one of these statements, the Representative said, Dubois prints a short article, concluding with the following: "This is the country to which we soldiers of democracy return. This is the fatherland for which we fought. But it is our fatherland. It was right for us to fight. The faults of the country are our faults. Under similar circumstances we would fight again. But by the God of Heaven we are cowards and Jackasses, if now that war is over we do not marshal every ounce of our brain and brawn to fight a sterner, longer, more unbending battle against the forces of hell in our own land. "We make way for democracy. We saved it in France and by the Great Jehovah we will save it in America, or know the reason why." GIVES EVIDENCE TO PALMER "If this editorial," Mr. Byrnes said which refers to this as a shameful land, charges the Government with lynching, disfranchising its citizens, enduring ignorance and stealing from its citizens, does not constitute a violation of the espionage law it would be difficult to conceive language sufficiently abusive to constitute a violation. Believing this is true I have called this to the attention of the Attorney-General with the request that he have proceedings instituted against Dubois. Mr. Byrnes referred to statements of William B. Colson a contributing editor of the Messenger, another Negro magazine. Colson, who Mr. Byrnes said, claimed to be an officer in the 367th Infantry, wrote the following in the July issue of the Messenger under the heading "Propaganda and the American Negro Soldier." "A feeble and indefinite propaganda did spring up among the Negro soldiers in France. In that democrat is clime they found themselves. They felt better within themselves because thy were fighting for France and for their race rather than for a flag which had no meaning." Colson says again "no intelligent American Negro is willing to lay down his life for the United States as it now exists. Intelligent Negroes have all reached the point where their loyalty to the country is conditional." Mingling of Negro soldiers and French women is believed by Mr. Byrnes to be partly responsible for present conditions. "A possible explanation of the feeling of these Negro officers is contained in the May issue of the Crisis." Mr. Byrnes said "where complaint is made that the is THE RICHMOND PLANET suance of an order prevented them from attending a dance where they could dance with white women." Mr. Byrnes also mentioned William Monroe Trotter, to whom the State Department refused passports to attend a Negro conference in Paris, as one of the leaders in this movement. Trotter, as editor of the Boston Guardian, another Negro Journal is "doing his best to incite riots and cause bloodshed" Mr. Byrne said; Speaking of the Messenger magazine Mr. Byrnes said: "It appeals for the establishment in this country of a Soviet government. It praises the treatment of the Negro by the Ger manas as contrasted with the treatment accorded the Negro by the allied forces. It urges the Negro to join the I. W. W's., pays tribute to Debs and every other convicted one my of the Government and prays for the establishment of a Bolshevik government in this land. It is evident that I . W. W's, are financing it in an effort to have the Negro of America join them in their revolutionary plans." An editorial in the Messenger of July urging the Negroes to join the I. W. W. and telling them that by doing so they can tie up the railroads just like the brotherhoods have tried to do, was read by Mr. Byrnes. ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., August 25—Rev. James S. Hatcher, of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church delivered a strong and forceful sermon last Sunday morning, At three o'clock the ladies held their pow rally, in which they raised $104 Fine program was rendered. They were greatly helped by the ladies of the Baptist Churches and they are using this method in thanking each one for their very generous assistance assuring them their assistance in return whenever possible to help further advance and spread the works of the Master in the hearts of men in the world. Rev. Hatcher delivered another of those most wonderful discourses on "The Black Man in the Bible," at the night service. His text was from the Songs of Solomon, first chapter and fifth verse, "I am black but comely, so I ye daughters of Jerusalem as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon." When he had finished his Biblical portrayal of the black man on the Bible and had so carefully explained his place in Church art and science and in every forcertained position decreed by his Creator and Maker, all were compelled to see more fully their rightful place in Churca and state and in society. He told of the wonderful acts and achievement of blacks by referring his audience to their Bibles. We confess he is a teacher in deed and in truth. We are proud of this wonderful man of God whose lot has been cast with the people of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church and the city of Roanoke Since his arrival here he has had 13 conversions and 30 accessions to Mt. Zion Church;] raised in rally and pledges about $3500, and last Lord's days closed with $246.08. Rev. Hatcher left Tuesday at noon for the meeting of the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the colored people in America, held in Norfolk, Va. near the point of their landing. But what changes have been wrought through the providence of God! If we hope to succeed we must trust Him withal. This done, final results are certain.

William Miller, colored thirty-five years old, was shot yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock and died shortly after reaching Virginia Hospital, when he is alleged to have resisted arrest and attempted to assault with a lump of coal Policeman P. R. Akers. Policeman Akers was placed under arrest on a technical charge of killing Miller. Miller was being placed under arrest, it was said when he attempted to sell a cow to a butcher at First Market, which the policeman had reason to believe was stolen properly. The Negro resisted, the officer states and ran into the coalfay of S. H. Hawes and Co., on Cary street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets and was in the act of throwing a lump of coal at the officer when the shot was fired. The Negro was taken to Virginia Hospital in a patrol wagon and died a few minutes later . It developed that the cow was the property of O. R.

No colored gentlemen or ladies of any nationality could walk about Paris without being insulted by these white Americans for none of these crimes was committed by a single colored soldier, It was with great satistacton that I ordered two French policemen to arrest and march off to the station a white American soldier who shouted grossly insulting words after me in the Boulevard Madeline. ‘When I got the follow at the door of the police station I, like Robert Cliot, to a fire-eater in the House, “granted him the mercy of my silence.” I let him off with a caution. ‘The French Policemen know no color or favorit- iim.

RANSOM AT THE 52D. CONVENTION OF THE BT, LUKES. Tefore a throng of soveral thousand representatives of the Negro race in the City Auditorium, Tuesday night, August 19, Rey, Reverdy C. Ransom went straight to his mark in discuss- ing what he termed the “Overshad- owing Issue in America To-day,” the Negro question, All the way from the conditions that brought about the civil war up through the administra- tion of Prosident McKinley to the presnt day. Mr, Ransom proved as he went along that the Negro question is the overshadowing issto at the bar of American public thought. The League of Nations was laid before the aud- ience in its relation to the welfare of America and he showed that to be only secondary to the Overshad- owing Question. ‘The industrial nn- rest_ now taking hold of the entire continent—the labor situation, which is largely a Negro question—was dis- sected in all its ramifications as bear ing on the future of America. In a plea for justice for his people he said, “Give honor to whom honor is due, Nobody but a little man and a Tittle woman will permit their minds to be filled with jealousy. Give to a man what belongs to him whether you like him or not.” With censure and criticism in his eye for those who claim an improper position as “leaders” he continued: “And with all of the men among us in this hour who haye risen to that proportion only one man has, ‘put it over’ and that is Monroe Trot- ter.

He was told ‘tho association had no permit to do business in ‘Texas, and the Aisbanding of the branch was entire- ly in the hands of local authorities, ‘Shillady then went to the adjutant general's department, it is said, and asked why the Texas Rangers ‘were interfering with his association, As- sistant Adjutant-Genoral W. D. Cope is said to have replied that the Ran- gers have been investigating organi- zations among Negroes since the race riots at Longview about a month ago and had found that the teaching of the advancement association, “which advocates racial equality,” was croat ing trouble between the races, Late yesterday Shillady was haled before a “court of Inquiry," the pro- ecedings of which have not beon dis- closed. Judge Pickle says at this time he warned Shillady to leave Austin because he was creating trouble, Shortly before noon yesterday Shillady held a conference with Ne- groes and while returning to his hotel was accosted by Judge Pickle, Hamby and Pierce. Constable Ham by, according to the county judge, asked Shillady why he was holding meotings and “stirring up more trou- Ble than Austin citizens can get rid of in ten years.” “You don’t see my point of view,” answered Shillady, accordig to Pike. “LIL Nx you go you can’t see,” re- plied Hamby, as ho struck Shillady in the eye with hie fist. JUDGE JOINED, IN ATTACK. Judge Pickle says he and Pierce joined in the fray and Shiilady was deaten until his face bled freely and he “asked for mercy.” Shillady then was escorted to the station, where he purchased a ticket for St. Louis, and left Austin with a final warning by Constable Hamby not to stop in the limits of Texas. ‘There was no indication that local Negroes resented the affair. SHILLADY DENIES RACIAL, EQUALITY WAS ADVOCATED. Waco, Texas, August 23.—-With a wide, dark circle around his right eye, and euts and contusions on face and lips, John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who was attacked and ordered out of Austin, passed through Waco on his way to St. Louis. Hight or ten men attacked him in front of his hotel, Shillady said, but did not, so far as he knew, use any ching but their fists. Shillady declared his visit to Toxas was in the interest of the association of which he is seerotary, ‘The associa- lion, he declared, did not have social equality between whites and Negroes for its object, as reported at Austin, but was concerned with questions of policy and special efforts to prevent lynehings. At the slate capitol, he said, he had intended to confer with Governor W. P. Hobby, and Attorney-General C. M. Cureton. ‘The governor was out of the city ad he conferred with one of the assistants in the attorney- general's office. While the National Association for the Advancemont of Colored People has not been chartered in Toxas, there were several branchos of the PRICE, FIVE, CENTS organization in Che state, he said, and his visit had to do with obtaining a charter. Shillady said he did not plan to make dny further stops In Texas and Was not prepared (o state what action his association would take as a result of the attack upon himsett.

RL eee em nee ame Now York, Aug. 22.—Oftentimes, the question has been asked: “Who was the greatest fighter of all Lime, irrespective of class, color or creed?” And the answer that many of the old timers make, men, whe have seen every great pugilistic gladiator in ac tion since the lime of Paddy Ryan is: “Joe Walcott.” Of course there is plenty of room. for debate over that selection, which isn’t a unanimous one, but the fact is indisputable that the fistie achieve ments of the “Ilack Demon" known no ring parallel, Walcott feared uo living man. AM his life was made up of but 1 ambi Uon, “Wight.” He knew no: Joy in idleness, knew no happiness except when he was involved in a fistic clash. And he never cared as to the height or the bulle of the man he faced. He was the ulGimate in ring fearlessness. ‘Tho mighty Negro was only five feot and one inch tll, a pigmy of a man. And never in his best day did he beam beyond 15, Most of his bat fles were staged when his poundage was 140 or less. And yet Walcott fought middlewe'ghts and heavy- weights and lo his undying credit it can be said that he whipped them all. ACIUEVED GWAT ‘TRIUMPH. Probably no greater triumph ever has been attiined by any fighter Oran that of the “Black Demon” over Joc Choynski baek in 1900, Choynski was one of the best heavyweights — that ever drew on a glove. ‘There was noth ing he didn't know about the fight ing game, Nature had made him a warrior. And Choynski could hit a harder blow than any other man wp to the time of Jack Dempsey. Picture that fight, Choynski weigh ing around 180 and nearly six tect tall; Walcott, as black as ink, five feet one and beaming 140. ‘The pros pect was that Waleott would be slaughtered, But to the ‘amazement of that part of the fighting world that didn't know fully the prowess of him, the Negro simply toyed with the great Choynski through the early rounds chopped him for six and put him out in the seventh Walcott began his career among Dantams. Quickly he whipped all in that class who would give him battle. ‘Then he made matches with feathers and lightweights and his meteoric career was unchecked, Soon Walcott, although then grad uating only into the feather ranks, had to go into the welter class to find foes. Men of his own weight and twonty pounds beyond steered clear of him. . Searching for fights, Walcott had to travel from coast to coast. But his battle Inst wasn’t always satisfied. Although he was willing to fight un der almost any conditions that a riv al might propose Waleott couldn't get much action. And the bulkie: he grew tho less did the welters and mid loweights care to Ly conclusions with him, PRESIDENT WILSON'S DENIAL AMAZES PINCHOT, Text of Secret ‘Treaties Was Publish ed Widely. Amos Pinchot, 101 Park avenue, made public last night a letter he has written to William E. Borah, United States Senator from Idaho, in which he expresses amazemont at President Wilson's denial during the conference with the Foreign Relations Commit- tee, of knowledge of the secret treat ies between the Allies prior to his arrival at the ePace conference. “These secret treaties” said Mr. Pinchot were’ published in part in England not long after our entry in the war. The pact of London was described in The Sun of December 2, 1917. The full text of the scerot treaties was published serially in the New York Evening Post beginning January 25, 1918 and thereafter dis tributed widely in pamphlet form. The reading of the pact of London in the Ttalian Chamber of Deputies in February, 1918 was described tn tho New York Globe of February 18, 191s. Associated Press despatches regard ing the treaties were published dur. ing this period in the United States. ‘The subject of the secret treaties was taken up with Col. House by Lincoln Colcord of the Philadelphia Public Ledger in September, 1917, and by myself with Col. House on January 24, 1918. Mr. Balfour in July 1917 was asked by Col, Mouse to forward the seerct treaties to the President. “Tt seems astounding, therefore, that Mr. Wilson should Nave remain ed in the dark. If indeed the Prest- dent of the United States did not Jearn of tho treaties until his arriv- al in Paris there is implied a failure in informedness and a neglect of American interests that require ex planation. If tho President had no knowledge of these secret treaties prior to the conference at Paris, ho must have beon about the only poll tical leader in urope or his own country who stood in this unfortunate position. ‘To the rest of the ‘world the secret reaties had become quite familiar.” oe WHE YOM.

BROWN, Photographer Y 608 NORTH sKOOND STREET ” BIOHMOND, VIRGINIA TWO THE PLANET SATURDAY...AUGUST 30, 1915 JOE WALCOTT GREATEST BOXER OF THEM ALL. "Black Demon" Feared No Living Man and His Ring Achievements Are Still Unparalleled. WAS ONLY FIVE FEET TALL. Won Great Triumph Over Joe Choyns ki by Knockout in Seventh Round, Although Opponent Was Much Heavier and Taller. (By James J. Corbett.) New York, Aug. 22—Oftentimes the question has been asked: "Who was the greatest fighter of all time, irrespective of class, color or creed?" Aud the answer that many of the old timers make, men, who have seen every great pugilistic gladiator in action since the time of Paddy Ryan is: "Joe Waleott." Of course there is plenty of room for debate over that selection, which isn't a unanimous one, but the fact is indisputable that the fistic achievements of the "Black Demon" known no ring parallel. Walcott feared no living man. All his life was made up of but 1 ambition, "Fight." He knew no joy in idleness, knew no happiness except when he was involved in a fistic clash. And he never cared as to the height or the bulk of the man he faced. He was the ultimate in ring fearlessness. The mighty Negro was only five feet and one inch tall, a piggy of a man. And never in his best day did he beam beyond 145. Most of his bat tles were staged when his poundage was 140 or less. And yet Walcott fought middleweights and heavyweights and to his undying credit it can be said that he whipped them all. ACHIEVED GEAT TRIUMPH Probably no greater triumph ever has been attained by any fighter than that of the "Black Demon" over Joe Choynski back in 1900. Choynski was one of the best heavyweights that ever drew on a glave. There was not ing he didn't know about the fighting game. Nature had made him a warrior. And Choynski could hit a harder blow than any other man up to the time of Jack Dempsey. Picture that fight, Choynski weighing around 180 and nearly six feet tall; Walcott, as black as ink, five feet one and beaming 140. The prospect was that Walcott would be slaughtered. But to the amazement of that part of the fighting world that didn't know fully the prowess of him, the Negro simply toyed with the great Choynski through the early rounds chopped him for six and put him out in the seventh. Waleott began his career among bantams. Quickly he whipped all in that class who would give him battle. Then he made matches with feathers and lightweights and his meteoric career was unchecked. Soon Waleott, although then gradating only into the feather ranks, had to go into the welter class to find foes. Men of his own weight and twenty pounds beyond steered clear of him. Searching for fights, Waleott had to travel from coast to coast. But his battle lust wasn't always satisfied. Although he was willing to fight un der almost any conditions that a rly al might propose Waleott couldn't get much action. And the bulkier he grew the less did the welters and midlewights care to try conclusions with him. --- PRESIDENT WILSON'S DENIAL AMAZES PINCHOT. Text of Secret Treaties Was Publish ed Widely. Amos Pinchot, 101 Park avenue, made public last night a letter he has written to William E. Borah, United States Senator from Idaho, in which he expresses amazement at President Wilson's denial during the conference with the Foreign Relations Committee, of knowledge of the secret treaties between the Allies prior to his arrival at the ePace conference. "These secret treaties" said Mr. Pinchot were published in part in England not long after our entry in the war. The pact of London was described in The Sun of December 2, 1917. The full text of the secret treaties was published serially in the New York Evening Post beginning January 25, 1918 and thereafter distributed widely in pamphlet form. The reading of the pact of London in the Italian Chamber of Deputies in February, 1918 was described in the New York Globe of February 18, 1918. Associated Press despatches regarding the treaties were published during this period in the United States. The subject of the secret treaties was taken up with Col. House by Lincoln Colord of the Philadelphia Public Ledger in September, 1917, and by myself with Col. House on January 24, 1918. Mr. Balfour in July 1917 was asked by Col. House to forward the secret treaties to the President. "It seems astounding, therefore, that Mr. Wilson should have remained in the dark. If indeed the President of the United States did not learn of the treaties until his arrival in Paris there is implied a failure in informedness and a neglect of American interests that require ex planation. If the President had no knowledge of these secret treaties prior to the conference at Paris, he must have been about the only political leader in Europe or his own country who stood in this unfortunate position. To the rest of the world the secret treaties had become quite familiar." Last Friday night found the Blues and Reds busy and hard at work. Every man and boy was in his place last Sunday ready for service. 9:30 A. M. at the Y. M. C. A. the workers had a very strong meeting. The meeting in the penitentiary 10 A. M. with the women was a very impressive one. 10 A. M. the committee did some special work in the city jail. The work in the city home by the committee 10 A. M. will not be forgotten very soon. 4 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. the boys were out in good numbers and the meeting was a great hit. Rev. William Thomas gave the men one from the shoulder 5:30 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. Building. Subject: "The Handwriting on the Wall." The songs were very warm. Men be on time Sunday ready for hard work and the other man. Come to the meeting for workers 9:30 A. M. at the Y. M. C. A. Master Walter Daniel will address the boys 4 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. Building. Mr. C. M. Taylor will address the men 5:30 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. Building. Come and bring the other man. Live songs. Every home is asked to have special prayer for the Y. M. C. A. THE SAGE REMARKS OF REVER DY C. RANSOM AT THE 52D CONVENTION OF THE ST. LUKES. (Continued from First Page.) from Egypt were able to do for they were not able to get theirs before the Peace Conference." Taking a blanket shot at Negro leadership in general Mr. Ransom reinforced his argument with the following: "But I tell you what has happened. The time has come when the great mass of the Negro people everywhere has repudiated the professional Negro "leader." The people at large are waking up and are thinking for themselves." The speaker at this point divided his discussion of the great Overshadowing Issue into four sections and spoke under a spell of wrap attention from the audience of enthusied thousands who at times were wrought to such a pitch that Dr. Ransom had to hold up his hand for silence in order to finish his lecture. First. "The first thing involved in this great issue is 'The Right to Work and to Enjoy the Fruit of Your Toil.' Now everything depends upon that. It is a plain, simple elementary right. I mean the right to work as an American citizen anywhere and at anything that you are capable of doing. America has opened her doors and said to the people of the ends of the earth, Come in. Well, we are already in." Mr. Ransom to prove his claim that the Negro is qualified to work anywhere mentioned Mr. Hundley, whom he said is responsible for the development of the cash register in this country. Hundley is a colored man. The private secretary to the president of one of our great railroads, said the speaker, is not a colored man. He is a black man. Second. "The second is, The Ques tion of Education. That is to say, that education shall be equal for all the children. If you are satisfied with less, you are not the kind of an American father you ought to be. There is something coming to you, brother. Why do I say this? Everything is based on it. We just as well get this straight now. We say we will let the Italians come. We have five hundred thousand Italians in New York City. We have five hundred thousand Russian Jews in New York City. Let them all come. It is the American ideal. "And we say we will take the children of the Americans and will put the children of the foreigners in the free public schools of America. The next generation will come up full fledged Americans. Now, then, how can you ten or twelve or fifteen million or whatever you are, American Negroes hold your place? You talk about the future of the race. Where is its future? Its future is bound up in the school house." Third. "Equal Protection of the Law—Absolute. Say that the black criminal will be absolutely certain that he is going to get his just deserts for his crime whether it be the penitentiary or the gallows, and that the white criminal will be equally certain of the same fate. Our attitude on this question is because of the unaciness that now overhangs this nation. And I want to say to you that anybody who plays with the question of race conflicts in this hour is playing with fire and when you are handling inflammables you had better be careful how you handle it. "The whole thing is bound up in the question of equal protection of the law. I blame in part the Negro leaders in this. If it should occur in Richmond, and I do not believe it will, or in any community, the thing for the leaders to do would be to let the police officials know, let the government know, that your policy of going around disarming the Negro will have to be stopped. The Negroes in no community are going to start a riot. Nobody thinks THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA they will, nobody fears they will. The only thing that anybody does fear is that when the riot is started on them they will retaliate. Now when that happens, all that the government needs to know is that when black men and white men fly at each other's throats that they must go out and disarm white as well as black. Equal Protection of the Law." Fourth, "The Right to Vote." That is absolute and fundamental. The right to vote. Everything in this country is bound up with the ballot. Sewage, street-cleaning, light when you have any, for in some sections Negroes do not have any light, the water you drink, paving and side walks. "The police officials will not be so quick to go out and set about to beat up a Negro if the Negro has a right to vote on election day on the man who fights him on that beat. The sheriff is not going to be so quick to tura you over to a mob or to give you an unsquare deal if he knows that next November you are going to meet him at the polls. The mayor is not going to be too busy to meet you or the city council to hear you if they know that the following spring they have got to meet you at the ballot box. The mar. who goes to the legislature who makes our laws and who sometimes passes them against one class of our citizens, when they know that if you had a vote when he comes up next year that you would be lined up against him to hold him to account, he would be pretty careful. The Right to Vote." "**and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes**"neither shall ther be any more pain; for the former things are passed away**"**Be hold all things are new." "And I say with John on Patmos, 'Old things have passed away.' They began to pass away sooca after France and Germany locked arms while in the first battle of the Marne. Old things began to pass away in the second battle of the Marne. Old things passed away when Roberts and Johnson on the field of No Man's Land shed their blood in the cause of liberty. Old things began to pass away when four hundred thousand black men joined with the other race o No Man's Land—and when they return this nation must understand that 'Old things have passed away.' In speaking of the old order of things in relation to the former so called "old type" of Negro of antebellum and civil war days, Mr. Ransom said, "Between us and that Negro are lined up sixty thousand of the St. Lake Order. Between us and that Negro are thousands of doctors and thousands of lawyers and thousands of teachers and bankers and thousands of educated men and women from colleges and universities and high schools. 'Old things have passed away.'" --- Greetings to Baptists of U. S. A Schma, July 28.-The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, takes this method of an announcing the Thirty Ninth Annual session of the said Convention to meet with the Bethsida Baptist Church, Dr. C. J. Wilcher pastor and sister churches of Newark, N. J. Sept. 10-16, 1919. We are pleased to say that we have every reason to rejoice over the splendid accomplishments of the year just coming to a close, which has fully verified all the contents for the Conventional owner ship of all property built up by the denomination. The reports from the Boards of the convention will be the most grafty yet made, and will show that the Trustees in charge of the conventions affairs, are constructive builders. All churches are urged to send representatives, which we hope will be elected prior to the first Sunday in September. Under the constitution each church is required to send $5.00 Until the Constitution has been amended annual membership will be received but in every case the per son seeking annual membership must bring a certificate showing that he is in good standing with his local church. Rates have been secured on all railroads on the one and one third fare certificate plan. Ministers holding annual clergy should use them buying their tickets one way. Ample arrangements have been made to take care of the large number of persons who will attend the meeting. By order of the Board, E. C. MORRIS, Pres. R. B. HUSON, Sec. M.

There is more punishment now here for having a consignment of liquor than there is for stealing. If President Wilson cannot protect colored citizens in Washington, how can he expect to protect white citizens in Texas? The treatment of Secretary Shilladay cannot be traced to whisky. That State has declared in favor of prohibition. When a man gets tired of a woman he is tired sure enough. When a woman gets tired of a man, it is "good night and good-bye."

We are raising children, who are training for the jails, penitentiaries and gallows, even before they begin to wear breeches. The time to do reform work is at the cradle. Some of our leaders need instructions in good manners. They have never been well bred and death will overtake them before they learn eith or good sense or good manners. Mr. John K. Shillady seemed not to have known that there are some things that the war did not settle and that is, that neither a white man nor a colored one can say what he thinks in Texas. President Wilson has evidently heard about the Shillady assault and he may quickly have reached the conclusion that even in the discharge of his duties, Mr. Shillady should not have gone to Texas. ```markdown ``` Colored folks, let the white folks know that you are friendly and in tend to remain so. The lawless elements of the white folks know just how you feel towards them and you need not worry about changing your feeling towards them.

Free reading notices may be all right on every day in the week but on pay day. Colored men, continue to pray and work and be respectful to white and colored men. Too much talk will do little good, Remember actions speak louder than words and you need to make friends among all classes right now "in this neck of the woods." Colored folks, save your money. Buy land, own property. These are prosperous times and you can do much to aid in continuing this prosperity. Make hay, while the sun shines. Colored folks, the sun is shining. When the congressional dry laws went into effect curtailing and reducing to a minimum the operations of the bootleggers, some of the State prohibition officers resigned. It was bad enough to work for low salaries, but with no whiskey \ in sight to drown their troubles, these prohibition officers quit in disgust. You cannot afford to argue with a Negro-hater. He is not open to argument, but he is open for a slugging match, when he has associates to help him in the "engagement." It is a southern custom to have two men settle differences with seconds for each, but in this Austin affair, all of the principles and seconds got together in "putting out of business," the unfortunate New Yorker, who had been so unwise as to engage in an argument with them. The attempt of the national government to "make water naturally run up hill" has failed. The attempt to disregard the laws of supply and demand and lower the cost of living and increase the cost of wages has also failed. The theorists have been in charge of the government and both the theorists and theories have broken down. The army of ofice-holders are feeding upon the vitals of the plain people and a level is in sight and it is the bottom level. The Post Office Department has "broken down," so far as this journal is concerned. The earlier we send some of our agents papers, the later some of our agents get them. The mail in many instances travels more slowly than the first freight formerly did. It takes as long for the Planet to reach New York and Philadelphia than it formerly did to reach Denver, Colorado. We are paying higher rates on postage and getting lower rates in service. The people complain to us and make us lose money, but what can we do about it? Any body may want government management of public utilities, but you may count us out in that procession, and we speak from experience—a very painful and disappointing experience. The President of the "Irish Republic" spoke here last Tuesday. He was received with applause by some peo ple and with ominous shakes of the head by some others. Ireland may become a self-governing colony, under British rule, but as an independent republic never unless a war should decisively decide the contest. According to the Fourteen Points of President Wilson, the Irish independents are within their rights and should receive cordial support at the White House of the nation, but when President Wilson relinquished the fundamental claims and declarations of his own document, then practically everybody else did the same thing. Editor William Monroe Trotter is determined that those folks, who have an antipathy to colored people shall have no rest, either in Paris or in Washington. He did not succeed in personally appearing before the Peace Conference and so now as the representative of the National Equal Rights League he has sent a telegram to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge asking for a hearing before the Committee on Foreign Relations, of which Committee, the Senator is Chairman. As hearings are being accorded peoples or their representatives in Europe and Asia, it will be necessarily a foregone conclusion that Mr. Trotter will carry his point and receive the recognition for the THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA gro citizens of the allied and associated nations. AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. The beating of Mr. John R. Shillady of New York in front of the hotel in which he was stopping at, Austin, Texas is one of the most remarkable exhibitions of brutality ever made in a southern city. It is all the more surprising in that this was done in the capital of the Lone Star State, where law and order or rather a semblance of it was to have been expected. Mr. Shillady evidently made the mistake in believing that in Texas a northern white man has any rights, when he takes up the cause of the southern Negro that a white man is bound to respect. The fact that a Texas judge was one of the law-breakers makes the affair all the more serious. These kind of judges have been trying, colored people in Texas' and other southern States for more than fifty years. Evidently Mr. Shillady made the mistake of thinking that Hon. Woodrow Wilson is President of the United State in Texas, when as a matter of fact, Governor Hobby is not only the Chief Executive of Texas, but of the United States so far as Texas is concerned and he has expressed himself as being of the opinion that John R. Shillady got his deserts. President Woodrow Wilson has been trying to make the world safe for democracy but he has evidently been unable to make the State of Texas safe for Mr. Shilladay. We are of the opinion that the very able Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is lucky in having escaped from the Lone Star State with his life. Just why they did not string him up to a lamp-post will always be a mystery to us. Thousands of colored men have suffered death for minor offenses and they charged him with in citing Negroes and with advocating social equality, whatever the latter charge may mean. We think we have witnessed the end of the affair, so far as any punishment being meted to the assailants of Mr. Shillady is concerned. Any one of them could be elected to any office within the gift of the Texans. To beat up a Negro-loving Yankee is a popular pastime and Mr. Shillady came out less than second best in the encounter. On the other hand this outrageous attack will "fire the North" or that portion of it that has been cordially and enthusiastically supporting Secretary Shillady and his cause. The time will yet come, when free speech will be tolerated in all parts of this country. This generation may be dead, but right principles will be yet triumphant and the declarations in the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights of Virginia will be observed in all parts of this land. We would advise the energetic Secretary to remain in the North until it shall be safe to indulge in free speech in the Southland. Certainly no state in the Union is more uncivilized than Texas and we are somewhat surprised that every educated person in the United States does not know it. It may be well to remark that a native born Texan of high standing can indulge in the use of language stronger and plainer than a colored man from the North or a white one from the same section either. Many of our representative men have taken chances and defended themselves against all comers and when it came to the worst have fought to the last ditch and gone "shouting home to glory." We regret to learn of the outrageous conduct in this instance and we shall watch with much interest the result of the struggle and the demand for the punishment of the offenders. Is there any law to guarantee protection to the citizens of one State while sojourning within the confines or boundaries of another State? Let the constitutional lawyers answer this question and submit their answers to the counsel of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People CONGRESSMAN BYRNEST DECLARATION. It seems these days that everybody speaks for or against the Negro, but the Negro. The latest discussion of this individual or those individuals comes from Representative Byrnes of South Carolina. This distinguished representative, in attacking the white men, whom he claims to be misleading the Negroes does not fail to attempt to reduce these same Negroes and their leaders below the level of American citizenship. He says that the Industrial Workers of the World who by the way have been outlawed by the Department of (in) Justice at Washington are urging colored people to join that organization and that in this effort they are being encouraged by certain leaders of the Negro race. organization in which they are promis ed racial equality, what ever that may be in contradistinction to social equality. He calls these elements revolutionary and he seems oblivious of the fact that millions of colored people in this country have not even contemplated such action. While not exactly satisfied with conditions in the Southland, they hesitate to leave conditions that they know to seek conditions that they do not know. As to colored soldiers seeking their rights, after their experiences in that "hell on earth" in Flanders and elsewhere, that is a natural feeling and as logical as that the night follows the day. Men, who are good enough to offer their lives and to suffer untold horrors for a Government are good enough to enjoy the rights and privileges accorded to citizens of that Government. If they did not have this feeling they would be in the category of the people that the Hon. James F. Byrnes describes. Southern white men that we have met have been in dulgent and willing to give to these black men their civil rights and privileges. These black men are not demanding or even asking for social rights. The conservative leaders of the race are not advising colored people to resort to violence in order to so secure privileges to which they are en titled. The colored men have simply been exercising the natural right of self-defense. Any colored man who would advocate the indiscriminate killing of white people for the reason that lawless white people had practiced the indiscriminate killing of colored people should be depounced from every hustings and considered an outlaw. The aim should be to punish the lawless white man and the lawless cofeded one, while he is engaged in the act of outlawry. A white man should defend his home. He should shoot down the black foot pad or hood him, who attacked either him or his family, and a colored man should practice the same method in dealing with the white outlaws, mob leaders and the "ne'er do wells," who stru up racial strife in order that they may profit by such forms of outlawry. The returning white soldiers and sailors have been found at the bottom of these outbreaks. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is one of the ablest colored leaders in this country. So far as we have been able to observe, he has not been unduly extreme in the language he uses. True, he is a Socialist and he has his own way of thinking, but we are unwilling to believe that he contemplated urging colored people in this country to resort to violence in order to secure rights denied. It must be done by an appeal to the white and colored electorate. He who appeals to the sword shall perish by the sword. What objection can there be found in the plea of the Crisis that the colored people do all in their power to "save America for Democracy?" President Woodrow Wilson, in his broad language has advocated the same thing. He spoke of making the world safe for democracy and this surely included all parts of the Southland. It is no use to criticise our critics. The proper course to pursue is to eliminate the wrongful conditions that admittedly exist in this land of ours. We hope that the congressman from South Carolina will read all of the facts in the case and consider them after they have been read in the light of our soldiers present achievements. If these men, who speak in the open are to be silenced, what becomes of the guarantees under our constitution or is it that those fundamental rights are now suspended and will remain suspended indefinitely. Personally speaking we are free to say that this is no time for intemperate language, but it does seem to us that the men, who fought for their country, should be accorded the privilege of speaking for their country and for themselves. Mr. John R. Shillady (white) has been beaten unmercifully in Texas. He is indirectly on the staff of the New York Crisis and now Editor W. E. B. DuBois of the same publication is threatened with prosecution by the officials of the Government at Washington. It would seem that these people can get much persecution and prosecution, but no protection. When shall these conditions end? THE SOCIAL UNREST The colored people of this country are still the subject for general discussion. When they organize among themselves and studiously attend to their own business, they are said to be exercising an antipathy to white people. When they divide and join the various white organizations in this and other countries, they are said to be dangerous to the welfare of the country. Colored men as socialists, labor unionites and members of the Bolsheviks are now said to be a menace to the future welfare of the United States of America. The following telegraphic report from Wash- ington explains itself: Washington, Aug. 24.—Agitators among the Negroes, supported by the Bolshevik, the I. W. W., and other radical elements in the country have opened a campaign for self-determination for the Negroes of all corners of the earth according to reports reaching here. The situation is, in some respects, out-and out anti American. According to a Negro newspaper, published in New York a committee has been formed there, the purpose of which is to aid the so called "West Indian Federation," in which they give their approval and support to the movement. This same paper lauds Lenine and Trotzky who it declares, are "emancipating the white masses of the world." It then adds that the Negro wants a Lenine and Trotzky to emancipate the black people of the earth. The same paper prints that "Africa is today but a huge mart of white robbers" but adds that tomorrow she will be a country of Negro patriots." The government is in possession of a mass of evidence showing the activities of agitators among the Negro population. It is said by responsible officials that most of the unrest among the Negro population is due to the incendiary writings and speeches of the agitators. Tens of thousands of colored people will read this announcement with amusement, if not with amazement. Colored folks are great imitators. They imitate the white man in all of his good qualities and most of his bad ones. We presume though that they have about as much right to be agitators as any one else, and when it comes to punishment, we presume that they will "take their medicine" like their white associates. We are now witnessing the unique spectacle of the laboring elements stirring against the Government and as they themselves constitute the Government, from a theoretical standpoint, they are logically striking against themselves.

FAVOR INDUSTRIAL EQUALITY WITHOUT REGARD TO COLOR. Delegates to Southern Labor Congress Give Negro Worker Full Recognition. Asheville, N. C., Aug. 21.—Urgent recommendations providing for radial changes in many systems affecting conditions of living were adopting at today's session of the Southern Labor Congress in convention here, and the congress went on record as giving its hearty endorsement to in dustrial equality without regard to color. The recognition of the Negro laborer on the same equality with the white man came as a big surprise. The sessions tonight were featured by the address of President Jerome Jones of Atlanta, who heartily indorsed the league of nations. The decision to organize colored workers as it would white workers was unanimous. Prospects of a fight on the resolution vanished when delegates heard speakers advance reasons for drawing no color line in organized labor. The throwing of safeguards around the traveling public the reduction of the high cost of living and the prop control of unfortunate orphans were some of the worthy aims to which delegates pledged themselves in the adoption of strong resolutions calling for the hearty activities of the various crafts in the creation of opinion looking to the attainment of the goals named. The final meeting of the congress will convene in the morning and will be featured by the election of officers and the discussion of resolutions which were not presented to the convention today. One of the resolutions which brought forth much discussion was the call for organized labor to press the work of forming unions in remote parts of the States not yet containing organized bodies. Another which was adopted gives the congress power to designate the vice presidents of the body, one in each State, as men having power to press upon the Legislatures of the various States all measures for the good of organized labor, the expenses, of such representatives to be paid from the general fund.

If President Wilson cannot protect colored citizens in Washington, how can he expect to protect white citizens in Texas? The treatment of Secretary Shilladay cannot be traced to whisky.

Some of our leaders need instructions in good manners. They have never been well bred and death will overtake them before they learn either or good sense or good manners. Mr. John K. Shillady seemed not to have known that there are some things that the war did not settle and that is, that neither a white man nor a colored one can say what he thinks in Texas. AUSSIE UNION OF MIDDLE-SECTIONAL UNION President Wilson has evidently heard about the Shillady assault and he may quickly have reached the conclusion that even in the discharge of his duties, Mr. Shillady should not have gone to Texas.

He should shoot down the black foot pad or hood him, who attacked either him or his family and a colored man should practice the same method in dealing with the white outlaws, moh leaders and the "ne'er do wells," who strut up racial strife in order that they may profit by such forms of outlawry. The returning white soldiers and sailors have been found at the bottom of these outbreaks. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is one of the ablest colored leaders in this country. So far as we have been able to observe, he has not been unduly extreme in the language he uses. True, he is a Socialist and he has his own way of thinking, but we are unwilling to believe that he contemplated urging colored people in this country to resort to violence in order to secure rights denied. It must be done by an appeal to the white and colored electorate. He who appeals to the sword shall perish by the sword. What objection can there be found in the plea of the Crisis that the colored people do all in their power to "save America for Democracy?" President Woodrow Wilson, in his broad language has advocated the same thing. He spoke of making the world safe for democracy and this surely included all parts of the Southland. It is no use to criticise our critics. The proper course to pursue is to eliminate the wrongful conditions that admittedly exist in this land of ours. We hope that the congressman from South Carolina will read all of the facts in the case and consider them after they have been read in the light of our soldiers present achievements. If these men, who speak in the open are to be silenced, what becomes of the guarantees under our constitution or is it that those funda mental rights are now suspended and will remain suspended indefinitely. Personally speaking we are free to say that this is no time for intemperate language, but it does seem to us that the men, who fought for their country, should be accorded the privilege of speaking for their country and for themselves. Mr. John R. Shillady (white) has been beaten unmercifully in Texas. He is indirectly on the staff of the New York Crisis and now Editor W. E. B. DuBois of the same publication is threatened with prosecution by the officials of the Government at Washington. It would seem that these people can get much persecution and prosecution, but no protection. When shall these conditions end? THE SOCIAL UNREST The colored people of this country are still the subject for general discussion. When they organize among themselves and studiously attend to their own business, they are said to be exercising an antipathy to white people. When they divide and join the various white organizations in this and other countries, they are said to be dangerous to the welfare of the country. Colored men as socialists, labor unionites and members of the Bolsheviki are now said to be a menace to the future welfare of the United States of America. The following telegraphic report from Wash- ington explains itself: Washington, Aug. 24.—Agitators among the Negroes, supported by the Bolshevik, the I. W. W., and other radical elements in the country have opened a campaign for self-determination for the Negroes of all corners of the earth according to reports reaching here. The situation is, in some respects, out-and out anti American. According to a Negro newspaper, published in New York a committee has been formed there, the purpose of which is to aid the so called "West Indian Federation," in which they give their approval and support to the movement. This same pater lauds Lenine and Trotzky who it declares, are "enamcapping the white masses of the world." It then adds that the Negro wants a Lenine and Trotzky to emancipate the black people of the earth. The same paper prints that "Africa is today but a huge mart of white robbers" but adds that tomorrow she will be a country of Negro patriots. The government is in possession of a mass of evidence showing the activities of agitators among the Negro population. It is said by responsible officials that most of the unrest among the Negro population is due to the incendiary writings and speech of the agitators. Tens of thousands of colored people will read this announcement with amusement, if not with amazement. Colored folks are great imitators. They imitate the white man in all of his good qualities and most of his bad ones. We presume though that they have about as much right to be agitators as any one else and when it comes to punishment, we presume that they will "take their medicine" like their white associates. We are now witnessing the unique specacle of the laboring elements striving against the Government and as they themselves constitute the Government, from a theoretical standpoint, they are logically striking against themselves.

ATLANTA GEORGIA FAVOR INDUSTRIAL EQUALITY WITHOUT REGARD TO COLOR. Delegates to Southern Labor Congress Give Negro Worker Full Recognition. Asheville, N. C., Aug. 21.—Urgent recommendations providing for radial changes in unary systems affecting conditions of living were adopting at today's session of the Southern Labor Congress in convention here, and the congress went on record as giving its hearty endorsement to in dustrial equality without regard to color. The recognition of the Negra laborer on the same equality with the white man came as a big surprise. The sessions tonight were featured by the address of President Jerome Jones of Atlanta, who heartily indorsed the league of nations. The decision to organize colored workers as it would white workers was unanimous. Prospects of a fight on the resolution vanished when delegates heard speakers advance reasons for drawing no color line in organized labor. The throwing of safeguards around the traveling public the reduction of the high cost of living and the proper control of unfortunate orphans were some of the worthy aims to which delegates pledged themselves in the adoption of strong resolutions calling for the hearty activities of the various crafts in the creation of opinion looking to the attainment of the goals named. The final meeting of the congress will convene in the morning and will be featured by the election of officers and the discussion of resolutions which were not presented to the convention today. One of the resolutions which brought forth much discussion was the call for organized labor to press the work of forming unions in remote parts of the States not yet containing organized bodies. Another which was adopted gives the congress power to designate the vice presidents of the body, one in each State, as men having power to press upon the Legislatures of the various States all measures for the good of organized labor, the expenses, of such representatives to be paid from the general fund.

New York City THE PURET AND AGAIN CHICAGO AND WASHINGTON. (By Frank Howard Hallion.) The following article appeared in the Washington, D. C. Post, under the caption, "North and South Riots Allike." "I think the day of the pot calling the kettle black has passed with the recent race rioting in Chicago and in Washington," remarked Geo. E. Bowles, of Columbia, S. C., at the Washington. A few years ago a Chicago newspaper denounced the entire South in a sweeping, scathing indictment following a lynching in one of the Southern States. A few days ago the same paper declared that Chicago was dishonored and disgraced and its reputation be surmised for years to come. "This reminds me of Ian McLaren's stern church elder who was uncompromising with sinners and who presently had occasion to drive his own erring daughter from his home. It serves to demonstrate that we should not be too severe in our arrangements of neighboring sections, for we can never tell what may come to pass and disdrace our own doors. The people of Chicago are not wholly and hopelessly condemned to ignominy any more than the people of the South are for the acts of a small percentage of the lawless element that engages in man killing. "This race problem is no longer confined to the South since the great immigration of Negroes $_{s}$ to the Northern cities. My information shows that the trouble in Chicago was begun $_{a}$ and continued by the foreign element, and we should begin to think about carefully restricting the immigration of elements that cannot be absorbed into the common stock by intermarriage. These outbreaks should also bring forcible to the authorities $_{i}$ Northern cities the necessity of race segregation."—Washington, D. C. Post, August 25. Intermixing is the cause and segregation and restriction are not the remedy. I know not what is meant by "absorption into the common stock by intermarriage," but Atlanta was segregated and so were East Saint Louis, Chicago and Washington, if not by law, by custom. Wherefore, then the riots? It $i_g$ not to be expected that a mutual, basic understanding will ever obtain between the ignorant blacks and whites North or South, but aloofness and lack of genuine understanding between the better element of thinkers—the controlling element—of the two peoples are the underlying cause of race friction. Intelligent, give-and-take cooperative committee work between the sober-minded whites and blacks is the remedy; and until that day dawns we may expect, in fact we invite, racial upheavals in the future which may surpass in gruseness even Atlanta, East Saint Louis, Washington and Chicago. It is to be a curse on no particular section, but will blight every inch of American soil where ignorance is rampant and uncontrolled. Will somebody step forward and make the first move for God and Humanity? $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

Post, under the caption, "North and South Riots Alike." "I think the day of the pot calling the kettle black has passed with the recent race rioting in Chicago and in Washington," remarked Geo. E. Bowles, of Columbia, S. C., at the Washington. A few years ago a Chicago newspaper denounced the entire South in a sweeping, scathing indictment following a lynching in one of the Southern States. A few days ago the same paper declared that Chicago was dishonored and disgraced and its reputation be smirched for years to come. "This reminds me of Ian McLaren's stern church elder who was uncompromising with gimners and who presently had occasion to drive his own ering daughter from his home. It serves to demonstrate that we should not be too severe in our arrangements of neighboring sections, for we can never tell what may come to pass and disdrace our own doors, the people of Chicago are not wholly and hopelessly condemned to ignominy any more than the people of the South are for the acts of a small percentage of the lawless element that engages in man killing. "This race problem is no longer confined to the South since the great immigration of Negroes to the Northern cities. My information shows that the trouble in Chicago was begun and continued by the foreign element, and we should begin to think about carefully restricting the immigration of elements that cannot be absorbed into the common stock by intermarriage. These outbreaks should also bring forcible to the authorities in Northern cities the necessity of race segregation."—Washington, D. C. Post, August 25. Intermixing is not the cause and segregation and restriction are not the remedy. I know not what is meant by "absorption into the common stock by intermarriage," but Atlanta was segregated and so were East Saint Louis, Chicago and Washington, if not by law, by custom. Wherefore, then the riots? It is not to be expected that a mutual, basic understanding will ever obtain between the ignorant blacks and whites North or South, but aloofness and lack of genuine understanding between the better element of thinkers—the controlling element—of the two peoples are the underlying cause of race friction. Intelligent, give-and-take cooperative committee work between the sober-minded whites and blacks is the remedy; and until that day dawns we may expect, in fact we invite, racial upheavals in the future which may surpass in gruseness even Atlanta, East Saint Louis, Washington and Chicago. It is to be a curse on no particular section, but will blight every inch of American soil where ignorance is rampant and uncontrolled. Will somebody step forward and make the first move for God and Humanity? $150,00 ENDOWMENT PAID Ellerson, Va., Aug. 21, 1919 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Worthy Counselor of the Grand Court of Va., Order of Calanthe, ($150,000) One Hundred and Fifty Dollars in payment of the death claim of sister, Nannie Bagby who was a mem- ber of Pleasant Grove Court, No. 151 of Ellerson Virginia.
