MORRIS NEW HEAD OF ROYDTON INSTITUTE Boydton Institute boasts of the oldest school building for Nergroes in the whole South. It was formerly the old Randolph-Macon College for the education of the blue blood of the South. Every brick of the noble old building, four stories high, one one hundred and sixty-eight feet long was laid by slave labor, to be as they doubtless supposed a school for whites for all time. One of the professors wrote a book to prove that slavery was the natural and perpetual condition of the Negro. Now, God in His wonderful way of upsetting man's plans has decreed that the whole of this great plant should become the a great training school for Negroes. Boydton Institute is located in Mecklenburg County, about one hundred miles from Richmond. The great school building sets in a noble campus surrounded by four hundred and twenty-five acres of fertile soil. Boydton Institute will open October 15. The Trastees of the school have asked Dr. Charles S. Morris, of Norfolk, to take charge of the school and make it a great teacher and Bible training school. Dr. Morris has consented to do so on condition th. Trustees would give him a mixed faculty in which the best of both races would be represented. This the trustees consented to do and Dr. Morris will enter upon the great work of building up a great school on this old historic site so strangely given to his people. Students who find the other schools crowded would do well to apply to Boydton. The fact that Dr. Morris is at the head is a guarantee of thorough scholarship and the very best moral and spiritual environment which all careful parents are especially desirous for their children.

EXCHANGE AND CONVERSION OF FOUR PER CENT, COUPON LIBERTY BONDS. To All Banks and Trust Companies Fifth Federal Reserve District: Throughout the United States, owners of about $750,000,000 of four per cent coupon bonds of the Second Liberty Loan and of the First Liberty Loan Converted have not yet availed themselves of the privilege, now in force of converting these bonds into 4 and 1-4 per cent bonds (either coupon or registered.) Unless such bonds are presented for conversion before November 15, 1919 and December 15, 1919 respectively holders cannot secure the higher rate until at least six months thereafter. The procedure to be followed in presenting such bonds for conversion is fully detailed in Treasury Department Circular No. 158 (Loans and Currency) dated September 8, 1919. The following is a summary: (1). If The Holder Desires to Convert four per cent Bonds into four and one quarter per cent coupon bonds he should present those of the Second Liberty Loan before November 15, 1919 and those of the First Liberty Loan Converted before December 15, 1919 having detached the coupons maturing on these dates. He will then receive four and one quarter per cent bonds with coupons attached coving interest from November 15, 1919 to May 15, 1920 and December 15, 1919 to June 15, 1920 respectively. These four and one quarter per cent bonds will be exchangeable on and after May 15, 1920 and June 15, 1920 respectively, for four and one quarter per cent (permanent) bonds with all subsequent coupons attached. (2) If the holder desires to convert four per cent bonds into four and 14 per cent registered bonds he should present them at once, having detached the coupons maturing November 15, 1919, respectively. He will promptly receive registered four and 14 per cent bonds bearing interest at this rate from the interest payment date next succeeding the date of presentation for conversion. That is, unless such presentation is made before November 15, 1919 and December 15, 1919 respectively the four and one quarter rate will not become effective until May 15, 1920 and June 15, 1920 respectively or later. Of course registered bonds do not have to be exchanged for offer bonds he cause they are in permanent form and the interest on them is paid by check. THREE IMPORTANT POINTS (a) All 4 per cent coupon bonds presented before November 15, 1919 and December 15, 1919 respectively will be deemed to be presented for Conversion only and the Treasury De partment will follow the procedure outlined in paragraph (1) above. (b) All four per cent coupon bonds presented after November 15, 1919 and December 15, 1919 respectively for exchange into (permanent) bonds with all subsequent coupons at tached will (unless otherwise express ly indicated in writing by the holder) be deemed to be presented for conversion into four and one quarter per cent bonds as well for exchange and will be held in suspense until such 4 and 1-4 per cent bonds are available for delivery. With the delivery of such four and one quarter per cent bonds however the accured interest (at four per cent) up to the date the four and one quarter per cent rate becomes effective will be paid either by check or by special coupon as the Secretary of the Treasury may direct payable at the appropriate inter est payment date. (c) By presenting their bonds for conversion before November 15, 1919 and December 15, 1919 respectively holders will secure the four and one quarter per cent rate at least six months earlier than if they wait until after these dates. Therefore, though the conversion privilege will remain in force until such future date as is fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury on six months' public notice it is obviously to the interest of the holders of four per cent coupon bonds of the Second Liberty Loan and of the First Liberty Loan Converted to present them for conversion into four and one quarter per cent bonds at once.

MORRIS NEW HEAD OF BOYDTON INSTITUTE. Boydton Institute boasts of the oldest school building for Negroes in the whole South. It was formerly the old Randolph-Macon College for the education of the blue bloods of the South. Every brick of the noble old building, four stories high, one one hundred and sixty-eight feet long was laid by slave labor, to be as they doubtless supposed a school for whites for all time. One of the professors wrote a book to prove that slavery was the natural and perpetual condition of the Negro Now, God in His wonderful power of giving man's plans has decreed that the whole of this great plant should become the a great training school for Negroes. Boydton Institute is located in Mecklenburg County, about one hundred miles from Richmond. The great school building sets in a noble campus surrounded by four hundred and twenty-five acres of fertile soil. Boydton Institute will open October 15. The Trustees of the school have asked Dr. Charles S. Morris, of Norfolk to take charge of the school and make it a great teacher and Bible training school. Dr. Morris has consented to do so on condition the Trustees would give him a mixed faculty in which the best of both races would be represented. Is the Trustees consented to do and work of building in a great school on this old historic site so extravagant given to his people. Students who find the other schools crowded would do well to apply to Boydton. The fact that Dr. Morris is at the head is a guarantee of thorough scholarship and the very best moral and spiritual environment which all careful parents are especially desirous for their children.

York City on the cal” of secretary of tho Home Missions Couneil and the chair man of the Consuitte cof the Federal Council on Negro Churches. Much fine was given to a full and free dis cussion of the racial situation, As a result this address was issued which represents the thought of these lead ers and the deliberative judgment of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches. of Christ av America. A STATEMENT AND tyECOMMEN: , PATIONS ON THE PRESENT Z RACIAL CRISIS. ‘The recent race confliets in some of ie ellies cadhetteg the atteition of the Churches SY Jesus Christ to their responsibility respecting an amicable and fair adjustment of race relations in America. In the fellowship of the Pedera Council ef the Churehes of Christ in America are inctuded 3,989, 352 mem Ders of the Negro churches, In spear ing therefore at this time for human ity and Justice we voice the mind and conscience of both races. ‘The present situation ix a challenge to the Churehés charged with the promot- ion of the brotherhood of man, whieh look upon all men as entitled to a footing of equality of opporunity: This calls for preaching — the duty ef economic and com ‘munity — justice for the Negro (hus securing peace and goodwill he tween the races. Beyond all else the present situation calls for confession on the part of Christian men and we men of failure (o live up to the stand ard of universal brotherhood as taught by Jesus Christ. TO JUSTIFY ITSELF. In the adjustment of race relations our country has in this crisis nox only its awn conseienee to satisfy, but also to justify itself as a nation before the enlightened opinion — of mankind. As a foremost exponent of the ideals of democratic. government, the United States has been lifted to the full view of the world. Our pres ent settlement therefore of race rela tions will influence ina very large meastire the settlement of race rela tions in other parts of the world. We must face frankly the faet Mat aA most dangerous inter-racial situat jon now threatens our country. ‘The problems growing ont of the presence of two races in America ave clearly seen to be nation wide and the adjust ments must necessarily he made on the basis of national responsibility ‘The migration of thousands of Ne kroes to the North emphasizes this fact. The outhreaks in several cities and the persistence of the anarehy and treason of Iynch law imperil our democracy. PRACTICE OF PRINCIPLES. ‘The actual practice of the princi ples of the brotherhood of Christ ean Prevent such conflicts and nothing else will. ‘The Church must offer the ideals, the program amd the leader- ship in this erisis. ‘The Charen must meet its chligation, or leadership will bass NOL only Lo” secular agencies, economic or socialistic but lo forees that ave destructive of civilization. We must confess that the ehureh and its ministry as related to the welfare of the Negro has heen too little in shired by the fundamental principles end ideals of Jesus Christ. Communi Hes that have expressed horror over atrocities “abroad, have seen, almost uomoved and silent men beaten, hang ed and alse burned by the mob. The Negro has ever showed profund faith in God and has always looked to the Church for leadership, for counsel and for guidance." The Church which for fifty years has a record of alinost unmatched service in the education and bettersent of the raee will now be reereant to her trust and lose her birth right of ser view if she does not meat this conti dence with a fall sense of responsibil ity and a twit measure of serviee for Iustice, peace and good will, ‘To this end we therefore urge upon the chiveh her ministry, and member ship this constructive program: A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM won JUST INTERRACIAL RELAT IONS. 1.

BROWN, Photograph 3 ; ; Photographer | * €06 NORTH SNEOND STREDE RICHMOND, VIRGINIA a ace eo TWO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 CHURCH COUNCIL CALLS FOR JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO. The Problem No Longer Sectional Cooperation and Racial Understanding Necessary. A call to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and of Christianity in the present condition of strained relations between the races has just been issued by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America acting in conjunction with a large representative committee of white and colored citizens from all sections of the country. This committee met recently in New York City on the call of secretary of the Home Missions Council and the chain man of the Conciliate of the Federal Council on Negro Churches. Much time was given to a full and free discussion of the racial situation. As a result this address was issued which represents the thought of these leaders and the deliberative judgment of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. A STATEMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE PRESENT RACIAL CRISIS. The recent race conflicts in some of our cities challenge the attention of the Churches of Jesus Christ to their responsibility respecting an amicable and fair adjustment of race relations in America. In the fellowship of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America are included 3,989,352 members of the Negro churches. In speaking therefore at this time for humanity and justice we voice the mind and conscience of both races. The present situation is a challenge to the Churches charged with the promotion of the brotherhood of man, which look upon all men as entitled to a footing of equality of opportunity. This calls for preaching the duty of economic and community justice for the Negro thus securing peace and goodwill between the races. Beyond all else the present situation calls for confession on the part of Christian men and we men of failure to live up to the stand ard of universal brotherhood as taught by Jesus Christ. TO JUSTIFY ITSELF In the adjustment of race relations our country has in this crisis now only its own conscience to satisfy, but also to justify itself as a nation before the enlightened opinion of mankind. As a foremost exponent of the ideals of democratic government, the United States has been lifted to the full view of the world. Our pres ent settlement therefore of race relations will influence in a very large measure the settlement of race relations in other parts of the world. We must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous interracial situation now threatens our country. The problems growing out of the presence of two races in America are clearly seen to be nation wide and the adjustments must necessarily be made on the basis of national responsibility. The migration of thousands of Negroes to the North emphasizes this fact. The outbreaks in several cities and the persistence of the anarchy and treason of lynch law imperil our democracy. PRACTICE OF PRINCIPLES The actual practice of the principles of the brotherhood of Christ can prevent such conflicts and nothing else will. The Church must offer the ideals, the program and the leadership in this crisis. The Church must meet its oblation, or leadership will pass not only to secular agencies, economic or socialistic but to forces that are destructive of civilization. We must confess that the church and its ministry as related to the welfare of the Negro has been too little inspired by the fundamental principles and ideals of Jesus Christ. Communities that have expressed horror over atrocities abroad, have seen, almost unmoved and silent men beaten, hanged and also burned by the mob. The Negro has ever showed profund faith in God and has always looked to the Church for leadership, for counsel and for guidance. The Church which for fifty years has a record of almost unmatched service in the education and betterment of the race will now be reckent to her trust and lose her birth right of service if she does not meet this confidence with a full sense of responsibility and a full measure of service for justice, peace and good will. To this end we therefore urge upon the church her ministry, and membership this constructive program: A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM FOR JUST INTER-RACIAL RELAT IONS 1. The Government, local state and national should impartially guarantee to all classes of security of life and of property. Mob violence is be coming a crowd habit. When life and property are ruthlessly taken when men and women are lynched with no protection from officers or courts law and order are trampled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the press and all good people to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for the enforcement of existing laws, that life, liber ty and the pursuit of happiness may be equally assured to all classes. SHOULD HAVE ECONOMICAL JUSTICE. 2. The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men with equal pay for equal work and with fair working and living conditions. The entrance of large numbers of Negroes into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amicable adjustment of relations with white employers and fellow workers. 3. We call upon men and women everywhere to protect the sanctity of home and womanhood. We record with satisfaction the growing enlistment of Negro leaders in a program of education, and Christianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the Negro should receive the same measure of respect and protection as that of other Americans, and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and impartial action of the law should strike the violator of the sanctity of any home, white or black 4. We recognize as fundamental to the welfare and efficiency of society that adequate recreational provisions be made available for Negro citizens. EQUAL TRAVELLING FACILITIES 5. We strongly endorse the plea of the Negro for equal traveling accommodations for equal charges. 6. Adequate educational facilities for Negro children and youth should be provided not only as a national obligation but also as a necessity for national welfare. We emphasize the urgency of giving to the Negro his full share of local and national funds. 7. Qualifications for franchise should be administered irrespective of race, creed or color. O. S. Closer cooperation between the races should be promoted by organizing local committees of white and colored people in towns and communities for the consideration of inter racial welfare. All possible agencies should be enlisted in fostering a spirit of justice and of good will in the relations of one race to the other. We recommend that the governor of each state appoint a standing committee for the careful study of the causes underlying race friction with a view to their removal and that Congress be requested through a non-partisan committee to investigate the disturbed and threat ening inter racial situation through out the nation. RACIAL UNDERSTANDING NEEDED Racial understanding and cooperation furnish the only sure basis of race adjustment in a democracy. The root of the matter is the failure to recognize the Negro as a man. The basis of distress on both sides is fear, and "fear bath hath torment." Respect for Negro manhood and womanhood is the only basis for amicable race adjustment, for race integrity and for permanent racial peace. If we talk permanent racial peace. If we talk democracy, let us act democracy. If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self determination of the weak and oppressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and goodwill abroad, let us apply the same program at home.

THE MICMOND PLANET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA EPISCOPAL CHURCH DOING A BIG WORK IN LOUISIANA. New York, September - The industrial school farm for Negroes at Gentilly, New Orleans which has been conducted and built up by Mrs Francis Joseph Gaudet with the idea of titting the children of her race to take their places as educated, industrious and valued citizens of the communities where they may live, has been offered to the Episcopal Church of the Diocess of Louisiana. While awaiting the action of the diocesan Council authorizing the Church to take over this enterprise the Right Rev. Davis Sessams, D. D., Bishop of Louisiana, Warren Kearny, of the firm of J. Watts Kearny and Sons of New Orleans, chairman of the Diocesan Survey Committee, and the other members of the community have asked the leaders of the Episcopal Nation Wide Campaign to include that project among the church's activities to receive support through that campaign. The sum of $15,000 is asked to run the school for the three year period covered by the Nation Wide Campaign movement, provided the Diocesan Council approves acceptance of Mrs. Gaudet's offer. It is not believed that the industrial farm school will become self-supporting within that period. Bishop Sessums and other members of the Survey Committee and of the Diocesan Nation Wide Campaign Committee believe that in this project the church has offered it a splendid opportunity for training Negro boys and girls of the State — an opportunity the results of which will be spread throughout the entire State and into other states as the students scatter after their course has been completed. Other projects of the Episcopal Church in Louisiana for work among the Negroes for which aid is asked from the church at large through the Nation Wide Campaign are: For a suitable lot and parish house for St. Luke's Church, New Orleans, $9,000. Funds are asked to pay a teacher for work among the Negroes of the parish. A assistant workers is needed among the Negroes and immigrants of Trinity Church Parish New Orleans. A building is asked for St. Mark's parish, Alexandria and a colored clergyman. The askings for this parish are $9,000. It is the centre of Episcopal activities among the Negroes of Louisiana. St. Mark's parish, Shreveport, in addition to its askings for work among the Whites, asks $10,400 for work among the Negroes. Part of this is for a parish house, part for a Negro assistant for social service work and part for a site for an athletic field for Negroes. The undertakings of the Episcopal Church among its white communica cants in Louisiana to be expanded through the Nation Wide Campaign were outlined in a previous article CHICAGO NOTES. Lowell P.

FUT BURDEN ON UNITED STATES foreign nations the American Republic is under attack. Allies, Says Johnson.—Denies Colonel Would Have Accepted Pro-British Document. Mineapolis, Sept. 20.—With three addresses in the Twin Cities today, Senator Hirman W. Johnson concluded his speaking trip through the middle West opposing the ratification of the league of nations covenant in its present form. Tonight the climax of a strenuous day of speechmaking was reached when he addressed a mass meeting which packed the armory in Minneapolis. Many unable to find standing room were turned away. Answering President Wilson's state ment that Theodore Roosevelt would favor the league of nations were he alive today, Senator Johnson said: CONTRASTS WILSON AND ROOSEVELT. "Mr. Wilson hard pressed, quoted yesterday Theodore Roosevelt. Oh, if Roosevelt were only here! The nation never needed him more. His commanding personality, his lofty patriotism his love for and pride in our nation, his very personality typical of our republic his loyalty to the great cause of democracy, his fearlessness in attacking any divided allegiance to our country, his red blooded Americanism, would have made short work of the un-American thing which Mr. Wilson seeks to foist upon us. "How strange and weird and unnatural it seems for Mr. Wilson to quote Col. Roosevelt! They have ever been the antithesis of each other. One with clear vision and unnering wisdom saw the possibilities of the great world war and our interest in it. The other with feeble and flabby phrases preached the doctrine of neutrality in deed and thought. Roosevelt when it was unpopular to do so denounced wrong and aggression, broken nation al faith and ruthless militarism. AFFEONTS REVERED MEMORY "Of course Mr. Roosevelt like all the rest of us, would have gone far to have prevented war. But when any man says that he would for a single instant have accepted the pro-British document which would put the country he so dearly loved within the power or direction, command or recommendation of foreign nations, that man affronts the revered manner of Theodore Roosevelt. None who knew Roosevelt none who talked to him during his last days, but know that his heart and his soul revolted at Mr. Wilson's internationalism, and Mr. Wilson's endeavor to subordinate to Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere foreign nations the American Reputie." Senator Johnson said in part: Senator Johnson said in part: "I feel very keenly that our nation stands today at the cross-roads of its destiny. "You recall that before we knew anything about the covenant of the league of nations, gentlemen were going about from city to city from State to State preaching of its virtues and telling of the marvelous things that were going to happen as a result of the great unknown document. And most of us, indeed we comed anything that might render less likely wars in the future; but we have watched the proceedings abroad with a growing disillusionment. We saw one by one the great principles to which we had given unqualified indorsement and approval aban donned and surrendered. "There are some places that are paved with good intentions. Paris is not one of them. HEARD ALTRUISTIC PHRASES "I cast the first vote in the United States Senate for the direct declaration of war. In the early discussion of the war I remember sitting in my seat and seeing Balfour, of England mount the rostrum of the Senate. "I remember him telling how he and his people were fighting the war for the same things we were, for deocracy of the world; I heard Vivi ani, of France; he told us in like a tristic tenor how he and his com trymen were struggling that democ racy might be made safe; I heard Ishii, of Japan and Undine of Italy, talk from this same rostrum. "My heart throbbed and my eyes strained during those fateful moments while they were talking to us in idealistic phrases; and during the very time they were talking to us their pockets were bulging with secret treaties made before we had entered the war treaties which disposed of the peoples and territories of the earth. They never mentioned them to senator or representative, or to the President or the Secretary of State; never lisped a syllable of their existence; and the President told us he never heard of those secret treaties until he reached Paris. AMERICANS SHOULD DECIDE "I wouldn't stop to characterize this sort of duplicity and double dealing but I say that when we have had that sort of experience with the men in whose power we are about to place ourselves under this treaty, we ought to know just what we are going to do before we undertake it. "Whenever humanity calls, when ever mankind is in distress, or the anguished cries of civilization are heard I would, have our country in the future do just what it has done in the past. But what I say to you THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA is that we at Washington are fighting for this: When the time and the call comes for acting, we as Americans, shall determine that time and mode of acting without the British empire or any other nation deciding for us. "That is the issue. Not that we want to live isolated from all the rest of the world but when you put us at the conference at Geneva in secrecy with eight foreign nations—in reality it's only five because it's the big five that are going to rule the world in the future—you put us there with one minority vote under the control and power of the other four great nations of the earth and you make them determine the character of our action and the time of our action. ADMIRES ENGLISH ABILITY "If any man had come to you three years ago before the war; if any man should come to you three years hence and say to you that he was entering into a partnership between this nation and a foreign nation by which the foreign nation should be given six votes in that partnership and one would hoot him from the rostrum—country should be given only one you if he did that three years ago or three years hence you would hoot him away. "But so strange and distorted is our psychology today that that very proposition is made to us. Now I have no prejudice against our English brother. I admire him immensely. I admire the ability with which Lloyd George represented the British empire. I would that we could have hired somebody to represent America who could have served our interests as well. "What a proud boast it was that he made to his parliament the other day when he said he had added to the great breach square miles of territory. What a proud thing it was when he said to them, "We have so arranged it now that whenever we are called into any war the United States enters automatically." ASK AMERICA'S GUARANTEE "But as I look about the nations of the world who are profiteering from the war, I find one nation fought for its ideals. As Lloyd George with his tremendous territorial gains and Clementeau with his looked about to find one great profiteering nation of the world they saw before them, America and they wrote into that pact that this nation should guarantee to England, to Italy, to France to Japan all their acquisitions from the war, and safeguard forever all these nations that profited so immeasly in territories and peoples. "We alone received burdens from the war, and while you may not care for the acquisition by these countries of the great territories and peoples they have received one thing I say to them: My son and your son shall and relatives.

FEAR OF EPITHETS IS GONE. "Now, we're told we can do little good by any amendment or by any objection to this particular treaty. That may be so; but because you can't prevent a burglary is no reason why you should go into partner ship with the burglars. And that is exactly what we are doing in the Shantung matter. "During the last two years there was a favorite mode taken of preventing any man from standing on his feet with his head in the air doing conscientiously and patriotically the right as he saw it in opposition to intrenched power. If a man were independent to do as he dared he must withstand the epithet of pro-German and holsevist. It was the common thing, and today even the President is going about talking about Pro-Germans in casting reflections upon men who are opposed to his pet measure; but I want to say to you that the time has gone by when epithets of pro-Germanism can longer intimidate American people. "We are going to safeguard this instrument if we can. No other thought have we than our country, and I think I may say to you, my friends that from a little start of three men in Washington a majority of the United States today stands for America." SEES HIS DUTY IN CAPITAL St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 20—In his St. Paul address here today Senator Johnson said: "I am going back to Washington tomorrow because I want to be in the Senate when my amendment giving the United States an equal number of votes with Great Britain in the assembly of the league of nations comes up for consideration next week. As much as I desire to go to California to answer President Wilson I feel it is perhaps even more important for me to go to Washington to fight this infamous measure." THE FLORENCE LETTER: (E. B.

A Copy, Teste: LUTHER LIBBY, Cloak THREB TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD. There ar$_{0}$ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor$_{0}$ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Soeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the $_{0}$ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mall them to you.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Administration leaders in the United States Senate are still claiming that the Treaty of Peace and the League of Nations' Covenant will be ratified by the United States Senate without reservations. The opponents of the documents claim that they have enough votes to prevent such a consummation and the recent vote in that body seems to support the latter contention. A few years ago, it was as much as as a politician's political life was worth to talk about a "one man" government and now there are many open advocates of the plan and some of the cities in this country have put the "one man government" into operation, claiming that beneficial results have been obtained as the result of it. We are having hot weather and cool weather. We are having good times and dull times. We are having sun shine and shadow and we are having a Democratic and a Republican form of government. We are having a high cost of dying and we are longing for the time, when we shall be in heaven, without even knowing how we got there 2. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker extended an invitation to Hon. Emmett J. Scott to occupy a seat up on the Official Reviewing Stand, immediately in front of the White House, when the Pershing parade took place in honor of Gen.

King of Liberia invites all dissatisfied Negroes to go to his Republic. This would be all right, but for the fact that from the newspapers published over there in proportion to numbers there are about as many dissatisfied Negroes in Liberia as there are in this American Republic.

Moton claims that he was recently misrepresented in an interview that was sent out by the Asociated Press. When he has been in harms long enough, he will get used to being misrepresented. It is a part of the race leadership business. A leader, who wishes to get hardened to this kind of misrepresentation should go into politics and edit a colored folks's journal. --- A PITILESS ANALYSIS The great speech of Senator Reed of Missouri in opposition to the League of Nations will go down in history as being one of the most remarkable deliverances ever pronounced in that august trilogy. He discussed the situation from every angle and left the defenders of that most remarkable instrument wholly on the defensive. There is another phase to the situation too in that it embarks on the fact that he is one of the ablest leaders in the country. His analysis of President Wilson's arguments was pitiless. That distinguished citizen and statesman had stated that the six votes of Great Britain did not overbalance the one vote of the United States of America. To this, Senator Reed read the following signed statement: The question having been raised as to the meaning of Article IV of the league of nations covenant, we have been requested by Sir Robert Borden to state whether we canin his view that upon the true construction of the first and second paragraphs of that article representatives of the self governing dominions of the British empire may be selected or named as members of the council We have no hesitation in expressing our entire concurrence in this view. If there were any doubt it would be entirely removed by the fact that the articles are not subject to a narrow or technical construction. G. CLEMENCEAU. WOODDROW WILSON, D. LLOYD GEORGE. Dated at the Quai 'Orsay, Paris, the 6th day of May, 1820. Each of the members of this Council have one vote and the United States of America, with its many self governing states has but one vote. This seemed to have disposed of the question to the infinite delight of the opponents of the League of Nations. The Treaty and the League of Nations covenant will be ratified all right, but it will not be done with out the inclusion of the Lodge Amendments and reservations. A report comes from Georgia which will prove to be interesting reading not only to white folks, but to colored folks as well. It says: Athens, Ga., Sept. 22.—A number of Negroes residing near Lexington Ga., have met and adopted resolutions approving of the action of whites who recently lynched Obe Cox a Negro accused of attacking and murdering the wife of a white farmer, it be came known here tonight. The resolutions condemned in strong terms the crime that aroused 1,000 men and set them to a twenty four hours search of swamps and woods, which was concluded with the shooting of the Negro and the burning of his body. He is said to have confessed to the crime before death. Condemning the crime and the criminal was all right, but to fail to condemn the mode and manner of the execution of the fliendish assailant was all wrong. We presume that these colored people were mindful of their own safety and took this method to appease the wrath of the guilty murderers, who had sent to eternity a man who was in the same case with the men who murdered him. When colored men condone and applaud lynching they attack the or organized forms of society and they attack upon such men like President Woodrow Wilson; Ex-President William Howard Taft, Ex-Judge Charles Evans Hughes and practically every Governor of every southern State and all of the Governors of all of the northern ones with Dr. R. R. Moton and the late lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington included. There are times when we sacrifice our manhood and injure our future prosperity. Obe Cox should have been executed, but it should have been done by the officers of the law and after he had been judicially convicted, Lynch-law must go. ```markdown ``` THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. Few of our people realize the full significance of the great struggle now taking place at Washington be tween the two schools of thought as preceued by President Woodrow Wilson on one side and the United States Senate on the other. It might be well to state that the issue is one of isolation on the part of the United States so far as it relates to the affairs of Europe and the engaging in the settlement of disputes among the other nations of the earth. President Wilson in his effort to succeed as the originator of the League of Nations is championing the cause and bringing to bear the great influence of his office upon both the United States Senators and the people with the hope that the ratification of the treaty may be a foregone conclusion. In proposing an armistice, he outlined Fourteen Points, which were accepted by the Allies and then by the German Alliance. When the Peace Table was reached the Fourteen Points were virtually repudiated and President Wilson was forced to make concessions of a most radical nature. This created consternation in Germany. The representatives of that Government refused to sign the drastic terms and finally other representatives were sent who signed the terms as laid down. Some of the provisions of the drastic treaty were dependent upon a League of Nations for their enforcement. When the statesmen here ascertained what had been done without, concluding them, then they decided to expose the secret fact and as a result President Wilson and his advisors were placed in a most embarrassing situation. This distinguished statesman demanded that the treaty be ratified without any change whosoever. In this he was vigorously opposed by Senator William E. Borah and Senator Hiram W. Johnson while Senator Henry Cabot Lodge with the evil resistance of the master mind. Hon. Elia Root entertained the same opinion. President Wilson raw in the situation, one fraught with danger for his plans and he decided to make a personal tour to the Pacific Const for the purpose of explaining to the people of that section, the actual conditions existing. Instead of gaining votes in the Senate for the treaty, he lost them and eight members of his own Party have decided to vote against h's pet measure while four or five of the Republicans will vote for some parts of it. President Wilson's opposers are calling attention to George Washington's solemn warning to avoid entangling alliances. It will be at least a month before the treaty is ratified and then it is reasonably certain that it will not be ratified in its present form. The intention of the critics of President Wilson is to amend the treaty and then he and his friends must either vote for the Treaty or against it. Pay your City Gas and Water Bills Here. THE BANK OF NEW YORK Mechanics Savings Bank A gigantic strike has been inaugurated against the United States Steel Corporation and the allied steel interests of this country and Canada by the American Federation of Labor for the reason that these interests have refused to recognize that great labor organization. The men do not allege lack of pay, for the average wage scale is $6.23 per day and the highest paid skilled mechanics are paid $20.00 per day. It is difficult to tell just how the situation stands at present as some of the great plants are being operated while others have been closed down. The labor leaders claim that more than two hundred and fifty thousand men are affected. President Woodrow Wilson had arranged for a conference between the two bodies on the second week in October and he requested the labor leaders to postpone the strike until that time, but they refused to do so. The position of the iron and steel magnates is that they insist upon an "open shop" that is, a shop in which either a union or a non union man may work. They also claim that they will receive delegations, of their own work men to confer on labor conditions but that they will not confer with men not employed by them. The strike will continue for an indefinite period of time, unless President Wilson or the Congress finds some way to ad just the matter and to bring the contending parties together in a harmonious agreement. As the colored brother has been admitted into the Ameri can Federation of Labor upon a basis of complete equality, it is difficult to ascertain just where he will stand in this contest. Those who have not joined that great organization will observe the usual rue, "Every man for himself and the Devil take the hindmost." Pay you Water Mechan N. W. corner 3rd BUSINESS INVESTMENT.

The resolutions condemned in strong terms the crime that aroused 1,000 men and set them to a twenty four hours search of swamps and woods, which was concluded with the shooting of the Negro and the burning of his body. He is said to have confessed to the crime before death. Condemning the crime and the criminal was all right, but to fail to condemn the mode and manner of the execution of the fliendish assailant was all wrong. We presume that the colored people were mindful of their own safety and took this method to appease the wrath of the guilty murderers, who had sent to eternity a man who was in the same case with the men who murdered him. When colored men condone and applaud lynching they attack the organized forms of society and they (100) upon such men like President Woodrow Wilson; Ex-President William Howard Tatt; Ex-Judge Charles Evans Hughes and practically every Governor of every southern State and all of the Governors of all of the northern ones with Dr. (1) &. Moton and the late lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington incuded. There are times when we sacrifice our manhood and injure our future prosperity. One Cox should have been executed, but it should have been done by the officers of the law and after he had been judicially convicted, Lynch law must go. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Few of our people realize the full significance of the great struggle now taking place at Washington be between the two schools of thought as represented by President Woodrow Wilson on one side and the United States Senate on the other. It might be well to state that the issue is one of isolation on the part of the United States so far as it relates to the affairs of Europe and the engaging in the settlement of disputes among the other nations of the earth. President Wilson in his effort to succeed as the originator of the League of Nations is championing the cause and bringing to bear the great influence of his office upon both the United States Senators and the people with the hope that the ratification of the treaty may be a foregone conclusion. In proposing an armistice, he outlined Fourteen Points, which were accepted by the Allies and then by the German Alliance. When the Peace Table was reached the Fourteen Points were virtually repudiated and President Wilson was forced to make concessions of a most radical nature. This created consideration in Germany. The representatives of that Government refused to join the drastic terms and finally other representatives were sent who signed the terms in laid down. None of the provisions of the drastic treaty were dependent upon a league of Nations for their enforcement. When the statesmen were uncertain what had been done without consulting them, then they decided to expire the secret treaty and as a result President Wilson and his advisors were placed in a most embarrassing situation. That distinguished stateman demanded that the treaty be ratified without any change whoseever. In this he was vigorously opposed by Senator Wilhelm E. Bernau and Senator Himma V. Johnson while Senator Henry Cabad ledge with the evi den resistance of the master mind. Dem. Elia Rast entertained the same opinion. The first Wilson saw in the situation one freight with danger for his plans and he decided to make a personal tour to the Pacific Coast for the purpose of explaining to the people of that section, the actual conditions existing. Instead of gaining votes in the Senate for the treaty, he lost them and eight members of his own Party have decided to vote against his pet measure while four or five of the Republicans will vote for some parts of it. President Wilson's opposers are calling attention to George Washington's solemn warning to avoid entangling alliances. It will be at least a month before the treaty is ratified and then it is reasonably certain that it will not be ratified in its present form. The intention of the critics of President Wilson is to amend the treaty and then he and his friends must either vote for the Treaty or against it. --- Pay your City Gas and Water Bills Here. THE BANK OF NEW YORK --- THE GREAT STRIKE. A gigantic strike has been inaugurated against the United States Steel Corporation and the allied steel interests. If this country and Canada by the American Federation of Labor for the reason that these interests have refused to recognize that great labor organization. The men do not allege lack of pay, for the average wage scale is $6.23 per day and the highest paid skilled mechanics are paid $20.00 per day. It is difficult to tell just how the situation stands at present as some of the great plants are being operated white others have been closed down. The labor leaders claim that more than two hundred and fifty thousand men are affected. President Woodrow Wilson had arranged for a conference between the two bodies on the second week in October and he requested the labor leaders to postpone the strike until that time, but they refused to do so. The position of the iron and steel magnates is that they insist upon an "open shop" that is a shop in which either a union or a non union man may work. They also claim that they will receive delegations of their owp work men to confer on labor conditions but that they will not confer with men not employed by them. The still will continue for an indefinite period of time, unless President Wilson or the Congress finds some way to ad just the matter and to bring the contending parties together in a harmonious agreement. As the colored broth or has been admitted into the American Federation of Labor upon a basis of complete equality, it is difficult to ascertain just where he will stand in this contest. Those who have not joined that great organization will observe the usual rite, "Every man for himself and the Devil take the hindmost." Pay you Water Mechanic N.
