THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS Virginia state VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 48 BEAUREGARD MOSELEY MAKES DEFENSE OF HIS STATEMENTS Chicago, Sept. 27, 1919. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Editor Richmond Planet. Richmond, Virginia. My dear Editor: It was with extreme satisfaction and pleasure that I received and read your note of recent date, in which you assure me the libelous headline was published without your knowledge or consent, and for this reason I am pleased to give you the first statement I have made since the reputed interview appeared in the daily press of this city and of the country, wherein I was quoted as saying this was a white man's country. The utterance as made by me and quoted by the press as an alleged interview, was not what I said, and yet what was published as being my interview was practically true. What I did say was this: "Economically, this seemed to be a white man's country. They furnished the employment, industrial plants and the implements of cultivating the earth, and through the law making bodies, had given the Negro all the rights that he had enjoyed or would enjoy in this country, and that for this reason it seemed to be their country, etc." Several race papers and would be race leaders and thinkers, have pouenced upon this assertion as if it excluded them as being part and parcel of the country. I have never said that this was not their country. I know of no other that they could justly lay claim to, and yet to say it is our country from an economic viewpoint, would be equally as rash. We have been for the past fifty years, or I might add ever since the first colored man landed in this country and I think history records his name as Job Ben Solomon, trying to help the white man build up and govern the country. Just how far we have succeeded is patented to most observers. Colored people in Georgia, Alabama, Texas and throughout the South, where jury trials are denied, proscription and civil rights prohibited by law of the local states and recognized by the National Government so far as states regulations enforcing Jim crow cars are concerned, are all agreed that we have made but meagre progress in helping to govern, and when I witnessed here in Chicago a few weeks into the conduct of the whites, predicated upon a false assumption that all Negroes deserved RELIGIOUS NEWS FROM HERE AND THERE Evangelist Skipwith On Church Hill. Thirty-first Street Baptist Church, Rev. S. P. Robinson, pastor. Our fall revival has begun. The outlook is very encouraging. We have had several conversions thus far and the attendance is increasing nightly. We have with us the Rev. W. H. Skipwith, B. D., who needs no introduction to the church goers of this city. On next Sunday he will speak three times. At the great mass meeting in the afternoon his subject will be "I Have Put On My Coat, How Shall I Put It On?" Everybody invited. A chorus of fifty voices will assist in the music. Rev. T. J. J. Mosby at Moore Street The Rev. T. J. J. Mosby, D. D., the able, energetic and aggressive pastor of the New Baptist Church will preach a special sermon at the Moore Street Baptist Church Wednesday day night, October 15, 1919 at 8:30 o'clock. Subject, The Signs of the Time. The meeting is under the auspices of the Senior Choir Club. Special musge has been prepared for the occasion, which will consist of several solos by talented singers. A great crowd is expected to hear Dr. Mosby on this subject. Come early and secure a good seat. For (Continued on Eighth Page.) EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS I left Cincinnati a short time after I arrived there. There was little to disturb the monotony of the trip. I gazed out upon the farm lands and the neatly painted houses, while now and then I passed the plants where many men were being employed. I found it inconvenient to write upon a shaking table or a jetting knee. A person must become well accustomed to writing while on a train, just as he must get used to sleeping in a car berth before he can obtain any satisfaction from either of the accomplishments. Arriving at Indianapolis, Ind. I went out upon the platform and I found a great change had taken place. A mummoth station was in process of erection. We remained here for only a few minutes and then we were on our way again to St. Louis. I had eaten luncheon in the dining car previous to this time and I felt much better. I met young Charley Campbell, whose father is a barber here. He makes his home in Covington, Ky., and he blushes admitted that he was not married. I passed through East St. Louis, the scene of the bloody race riots a few years ago. Beer and whiskey signs were to be seen. Many of the places bore the "For Rent" signs. Continued on Fourth Page.

Being dissatisfied with one's condition is a habit easily acquired. People, who try to do right and live right have a hard time of it in this world of ours. Colored folks who labor are an asset to the race and colored folks, who loaf are a liability to the same class of people. Colored folks have learned "to suffer and be strong." They have learned also how to protest during this suffering. Colored men, engage in business, practice economy and endeavor to make a financial record for yourself that other people might envy. Colored folks as a rule are united when it comes to talking and upon the question of talking, but very much divided as to the kind of talk they are doing. --- The entire country is regretting the indisposition of that brilliant leader and statesman, President Woodrow Wilson. He has done much and the wonder is that his robust constitution has been able to stand the strain so long. He needs the rest he is now taking. A white mob in Omaha, Nebraska lynched a colored man, who wasn't worth fifteen cents in Chinese money, did over a million dollars worth of damage to the court-house and attempted to lynch a patriotic mayor, who was discharging his sworn duty in behalf of law and order and then dispersed only when its murderous frenzy had expended itself. The National Government is wondering just what shall be the next step to take. It will wonder much more when peace is declared. Then the people will be in favor of the party that will commence taking off the tax shackles one by one and in favor of restoring constitution rights and privileges all in a jump. The agitation against lynching has resulted in the increas_e of lynching, just as severe remedies to cure a boil wilt result in the increase of the swelling until it bursts and relief is obtained. The law and order element of the American people are about to put down mob violence and lynching, be the cost what it may. The lynching of colored people has led to the lynching of white people. Fundamental laws are inexorable and the violation of these laws must necessarily result in a reaction, which will affect a whole nation as well as the individual units thereof. Attorney J. Thomas Hewin seems to have known how to find out the facts in the action of the commander of the United States Destroyer Fairfax, in James River. He denied colored people the privilege of going aboard the vessel and stated that the authorities at Washington issued orders to that effect. Attorney Hewin holds in his possession a letter from Hon. Josephus Daniels disavowing any such attitude or orders from his Department and he has directed that the affair be investigated. All honor to this* distinguished North Carolinian, who presides over the destinies of the Navy Department. He is true to the American people, regardless of race or color, so far as this letter is concerned and colored people throughout the country will learn with genuine satisfaction of his attitude in this matter.

The Pullman had been shifted to the slower train at Indianapolis. When I passed into the station at St. Louis, Prof. Charles H. Brown greeted me. We went to the street and he was puzzled. The automobile he had ordered was not in sight. We waited a short while and it soon appeared. Seated in the car were Mrs. Charles H. Brown and her daughter, Mrs. Nellie McMahon. Prof. Brown wore a silk hat and with his other "furnishings and fittings" might have been mistaken for a member of the St. Louis Reception Committee of the American Bankers' Association. As for me, I had just completed a tiresome trip. I was soon though, on my way somewhere and finally the car stopped in front of an imposing structure. It was Poro College, the wonderful beauty culture palace founded by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. The magnificence of the College was intensified on the inside.

I was forced to conclude we had made very slow progress in helping to govern here. One week after the alleged rioting, thousands of colored persons were in line with haskets on their arms, receiving from the whites food for subsistence, without which they could not have fed themselves or their families, re-establishing the thought that any combined action on the part of the blacks to exterminate the whites as such because of their color, was really a fight upon ourselves. It may be an ugly truth, but it is the truth just the same, and always will be. Fifteen millions are helpless against one hundred millions, whether the 100,000,000 be right or wrong, and it is largely a lack of knowledge of this fact on the part of colored men that causes some of them to do and say things that are inimical under the conditions to all of us, for if the whites conclude that the blacks have concluded to exterminate them, even a Virginian colored man knows and could accurately label the exterminator and the exterminated before the conflict commenced. But men have always believed as they wished to believe. This is as old as Julius Caesar and was true many years before he uttered it. This optimist has the right of way. Our people love to applaud the man or woman who praises them and who preaches to them their greatness and their power, and they have paid but little attention to those who would tell them the truth, about themselves, their weaknesses or limitations, and yet the greatest menace to any minority group is not to know and recognize its limitations. Those entering any race or competitive effort of any kind without knowing their limitations, are the victims of every encounter. Germany failed because she did not know her limitations, and so will every race, people or individual who attempts anything without first knowing their limitations, and taking them into consideration. It therefore follows that fifteen million cannot, with guns, compete and conquer one hundred million who own the guns and ammunition and our triumph or success must be along other lines and other methods and not a resort to arms. A love of justice must actuate mankind in all of his dealings with his fellows, if we are to receive the benefits guaranteed under the Constitution of civilized countries, and there is no way to secure these benefits other than full compliance with lawful mandates. If we are right in the position we assume, thousands of men, regardless of color, will support and protect us. If we are wrong, they will be against us or indifferent to our fate and whatever I have ever said or done has been to emphasize this truth. This may be the Indian's country, it may be God's country, some say it is the Negro's country, but it seems to me that no one can justly say it is not the white man's country, economically at least.

The Seventh Annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society, Inc., is to be held at Lynchburg 11-14. From the office of the Field Agent in Mechanics Bank Building at Richmond, letters announcing the meeting and inviting their attendance are being mailed to all organizations and individual members of the Society and to all the School Improvement Leagues. A cordial invitation is hereby extended to all public spirited Negroes in the State to attend this meeting and to all organizations of whatever kind among us—schools, churches, Sunday Schools, associations, and conventions, fraternal orders both local and state, Literary societies School Improvement Leagues, etc., send one or more delegates. It is anticipated that the conditions of the interesting and most important period through which the country is passing will inspire in many the desire to attend a meeting of this kind in the state to contribute counsel and to get a line on the trend or racial thought. The all inclusive composition of the Negro Organization Society should make of its annual meeting a clearing house for racial aspirations in Virginia and should attract every public spirited man and woman among us. The closing session of the meeting will be held at the City Auditorium and Dr. Robert R. Moton will be the principal speaker. In view of the prominence and influence of the principal of Tuskegee Institute the important missions recently committed to his hands and faithfully discharged, as well as the doubt in the minds of many as to his policies in these trying times it is felt that the spacious audience hall in Lynchburg will be filled to its capacity on the night of November 14th to hear him. A strong committee on arrangements composed of teachers and citizens is busy preparing to care for those who will visit the city to attend this meeting and that of the Negro State Teacher's Association which will be held jointly with the Society. Living rates will be reasonable as the present market prices will justify and comfortable homes will be secured for all who may attend these meetings. Homes will be reserved and advance notice of their location given to all who will communicate their intention to attend meetings to: T. C. ERWIN, Field Agent Mechanics Bank Building, Richmond Va. A SCANDALOUS INJUSTICE. appeal for Subscriptions to "Defend Britain's Honour," Having failed to make any impression on the Government, the Anti- and Aborigines Protection Society is now appealing to the punitive to secure justice for the natives of Southern Rhodesia. They say the natives have been robbed of all land rights in their own country. No single native of the Mashona and Matabele and kindred tribes owns either personally or through membership of his tribe a foot of land, a spring of water, a sacred grave yard, a patch of garden or even a plot on which the native but is erected. The society thinks that the attitude of the Chartered Company in forcing the natives to pay, through taxation, part of the costs of preparing "the White Settlers" case, whilst refusing to allow the Legislative Council to pay the costs incurred for the native case, will be regarded as a scandalous injustice. It is, they believe, the first occasion in British Colonial history where cost of a public inquiry have been deliberately imposed upon the philanthropic public. For the sake of British honour the society is attempting 'o raise 7,000 pounds to cover the natives' costs in submitting their case to a Committee of Special Reference.

BENSON, Acting Secretary of the Navy. Mr. J. Thomas Hewin, Richmond, Va. MR. HEWIN WRITES AGAIN. September 24, 1919 September 24, 1919 Navy Department Washington, D. C. (Attention Hon. W. S. Benson) Dear Sir: Your letter under date of September 22, 1919 is before me and contents most carefully noted. I thank you for your reply. At the same time I regret to say that your letter is one which does not explain itself. You state that the matter has been referred to the Commanding Officer of the Destroyer at Richmond for such comment as he may desire to make. This is very vague indeed. I am writing to ask if you will do me the courtesy to state in plain and unequivocal terms whether or not the commander of this ship at Richmond had any orders from the Navy Department to exclude colored citizens from entering the ship for the purpose of viewing it in common with all other citizens. Chinese, Japanese and Indians were permitted to enter this ship albibitum; all of whom are carried in the liability column and not an asset for this Government and yet when colored citizens, who have poured their life's blood out on battlefields in the defense of our flag attempted to enter, they were told that they could not enter the ship for the purpose of viewing it. $A_{n}$ early reply will be appreciated Respectfully, J. THOMAS HEWIN. AT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT On Saturday, October 4, J. Thomas Hewin, Esq. of this city, representing the Richmond Chapter of the N. A. A. C. P., called at the Navy Department in Washington and took up with Secretary Daniels in person this alleged affront to the Colored citizens of Richmond. On arriving at the Navy Department, Mr. Hewin was received by Secretary Daniel's private secretary, who assured him that Secretary Daniels was then in conference and would not be able to see him for at least two hours. Mr. Hewin waited in the Navy Department for one hour and forty five minutes to get an opportunity to lay the matter before Secretary Daniels in person. The result was, the Secretary of the Navy handed him the following letter over his own signature, which will explain itself: SECRETARY DANIEL'S LETTER The Secretary of the Navy. Washington, D. C., 4 October, 1919 Sir: Referring to your statement that colored people of Richmond, Va. have been denied the privilege of visiting the Naval destroyer which was recently anchored in that harbor I beg to state that the Navy Department has issued no orders denying that privilege. If any officer has issued any such orders, the matter will be investigated and corrected. Very truly yours. JOSEPHUS DANIELS. Mr. J. Thomas Hewin, Richmond, Va. From the above explanation it will be seen that the commanding officer of the ship Destroyer 'Fairfax' in harbor here, had no orders to exclude colored people from making a personal inspection of the ship, in common with other citizens of this community. --- Statement of the Ownership, Management, Circulation, Etc.

Bedford City, Va., October 6.—The members of Washington Street Baptist Church are now sailing on high spiritual tides which have been sweeping through their church) and over the entire town for the past two weeks. The revival proper closed last Monday night and on Tuesday night there were fifty one converts voted in for baptism. The pastor, Rev. C. T. Murray baptized forty-eight. The remainder are to be baptized next Sunday. The success of our revival must be mostly contributed to the very unique way in which the pastor worked it up. There was much personal work done, together with a week of prayer. The pastor had Rev. M. C. Allen, of Danville, Va. to assist him through most of the meeting and they both worked together like a clock. We hope to accomplish great things for the Master under our present leader.
