THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. JUSTICE! IS THE PLEA OF LUCIAN B. WATKINS An Open Letter to Harrison George of the Chicago Ince Riots. 7:42 12:2 Forest Avenue Care of The Great Western Publish- ishing Co., 1237 W. Madison St., Chicago, IL. Sir: I have read your booklet, CHIEF AGO RACE RIOTS. You inform us in your preface that: "This pamphlet is an earnest, con- scientious probe of the fearful set of social circumstances that could make possible and let lose this flame of beautyless and animalism." You say: "The author of this pamphlet is convinced that the cause of the race conflict in Chicago and elsewhere in the United States is rooted deep in our economic system and, while other contributing causes are admitted, their influence on the actions of men and women of both races is so slight that they can with rea- son and good judgment practically be disregarded in a book of this size and character." Let me make this the first sentence of what I have to say: THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE TROUBLES BETWEEN THE WHITE AND BLACK RACES IN AMERICA IS THE INBORN HATRED THAT IS IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO RESENT THE HUMAN ASPIRATIONS OF COLORED PEOPLE. This Satanine germ was conceived and hatched in the souls of slaveholders and is only bearing its deadly fruit, after its kind. Race hatred prompted the crimes against Colored people, in Chicago, that were perpetrated immediately preceding the riots: The repeated bombing of the homes of Colored citizens; the inexcessable beating of those Colored men and women in Washington Park, last June; the murder of that Colored man at Fifty-fourth Street and Wentworth Avenue; another at Fifty-seventh Street and La Fayette Avenue; then the stoning and consequent drowning of that black boy at the beach. Race hatred tolerated the escape from apprehension of these murderers, and was the sympathy shown toward the case in the last-mentioned case. While Chicago's white policeman, with their white soldier assistants, were busy disarming the Colored people during the riots, Chief of Police John J. Garrity, advised the white people, to arm themselves. This significant news appeared in one of Chicago's leading white newspapers. Race hatred was the monster who arrested the "pioters"; more than 200 Colored and less than 100 white. The riots were started by a white offender, at the beach; white mobs invaded the colored residential sections, and the victims of their number were killed by the colored defendants of their own lives, property and homes; the deaths, resulting from the riots, are officially recorded as 23 colored and 15 white; of the colored killed, it has been proven that seven not their deaths at the hands of the police and their helpers. Pursuing its foul policy, race hatred promptly charged the outraged colored people with having caused the onslaught of the hoodium white mobs. And, it seems that the worst is not yet come. In its pertinacious campaign against us, race-hatred diapers and uses some of our own people. These misguided creatures are titled "race leaders." To their race they are as faithless as Brutus, as peridicals as Arnold, as loveless as Judas. The unmanly mouthings of these serpentine lick-pittles are given prominence in some of the leading white publications in America. The Negro who really has something mainly to say would not be able to buy space in these same papers. Erace-hatred designs that all the good, relative to Colored people, shall be kept in the background, if it cannot be entirely suppressed, but that the suggestive bad and ridiculous, alleged or otherwise, shall not escape the attention of its prepared public. If you ask me what it is that race-hatred fears beyond anything else in America, I say it is the Negro Press. These Negro publications, that are being quoted by the Congressmen who debate a means to suppress them, are read throughout the civilized world. Their stormy truths are written in the crying blood of our mob-murdered comrades. Theirs is the united voice of our fallen dead and the white martyrs who fought and died for the liberty of black people in America. These call to us in the words of the late Colonel McCrea, of Montreal: "Take up our quarrel with the foe; you from falling hands we throw The torch; he yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep. * * * * "Above the fight their lonely hurge grieves" The world, at this time, is hungry for tacts. It asks only, "Is this thing true?" We may criticise the manner in which a truth is presented, but no honest mind finds fault with the truths of tacts themselves. Man's inhumanity to man shall be made known from one end of this uttering world to the other. They is the task of the Negro Press. May god bless it! THE MAD MORONS WHO MAKE A SABRATH HOLIDAY-MERDERING A MAN-INCH BY INCH TO THE DELIGHT OF THEIR SUNDAY SCHOOL, CLASSES DESERVES THE RIDOUTLE AND THE SCORN OF THE CIVILAZED WORLD. These Sons of Perdition who out-Hun the Huns, out-savage the savages, outdo the Devil—shall be known for what they are. There is but one term in the human tongue that expresses these Creatures, in their utter deprivacy, their absolute loss of conscience that term is: AMERICAN NEGRO-HATERS! This represents the last letter in the Alphabet of Degradation. But how all our troubles prove our White Friends? How it proves the Christly characters who come and are crucified with us! These are they whose beads are broken in the Senate hall; who are dragged through the streets of Boston; who march to the gallows of Harper Ferry, stopping to kiss a black babe, by the wayside; who are beaten and bruised in Texas all for us, and for the sake of the Truth they see and serve! These are they who have heard that gentle voice on The Mount, saying: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs' is the kingdom of heaven, Relioce, and be exceedingly glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." We do not deceive ourselves with the thought that the injustices we suffer in America begin with her mobs. They begin higher up or, more accurately, lower down. They begin with her legislators who persecute us with their prejudice and lynch us with their laws; who mock our miseries and barbues our highest aspirations; who withhold measures that would save our lives, but pass those for the protection of inanimate property. Congress is attainted on Second Page.

The National Race Congress, which has been in session here during the week, closed roaring on record advocating the unrestricted ballot in the hands of every American citizen, the protection of all under the law, and wiping out of jim-crowism. There were pressent representative men and women from twenty one States and much interest was manifested by them. All sessions were held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Dr. W, M. D. Norman is pastor. The opening sermon was prescheduled Monday night by the Rev. E. A. P. Check, of Newark, N.

Church, made the opening remarks setting forth the work of the Congress, advocating the abolition of "jim crowism", the use of the ballot, proper treatment of the race, and setting forth the kind of leadership needed. He said that the race would not follow the hand-selected leader, but would take unto itself the right to select the leaders, and would cast aside those selected because they could be used as a rubber stamp. He wanted real men, fearless men, men who would contend for the rights of the race on all occasions, and who would not sell out. He deplored the recent race riots, and declared they were, conducted by the lawless element, and that the law abiding element of both races should get together and that some action be taken by them toward minimizing such dangers in the future. The feature of Tuesday was the annual address by Dr. W. H. Jernagin of Washington, who touched every phase of the work don, and to be brought before the pope. He outlined a program for the future which would accomplish great good for the race, if carried out.

It is reported here that Mr. Clifton and the Negro Saturday had a disagreement over a settlement over some cotton on which the Negro had worked. Mr. John D. Jones, of Reedville, Mass., was in the city this week. He has been to San Francisco, El Paso, Mexico, San Antonio, Texas. EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS THE SIGHTS IN ST. LOUIS—FINE TRAVEL OFFICERS—PROBLEM IN CHEMISTRY—SOCIAL, GATHERING. It is well nigh impossible to describe the artistic effects secured in the designing and the embellishment of the Pero College building erected by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This magnificent brick structure with all modern conveniences has been erected for the purpose of being a college of instruction for the many agents of this system of hair culture. The large number of private parlors fitted with all of the modern appliances for straightening and improving the hair was a wonderful revelation to me. PREPARING FOR LUNCHEON I was ushered into a private apartment with the accommodating Prof. Charles H. Brown accompanying me and told to prepare for the luncheon that had been prepared especially for "thy, gentleman from Virginia." My two satchels were opened and in a short time I came forth as a member of the American Bankers' Association. I had made no mistake in preparing myself either as I was in the company of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Birsn and their charming daughter. As I entered the palatial parlors, I met the invited guests. A MAGNIFICENT REPAST A moment later, w. were ushered into the magnificent dining hall. At each plate was the name of the invited guest. Mrs. Malone was dressed in a fashion that the proud New York 100 might envy, while her handsome husband wore the late-tuft designed by America's leading tailors. The request was served to a "queen's taste" and cooked with all of the aesthetic flavors of the French chef. Dinner over, we retired to the 'den' and while I could not smoke, I could enjoy the entrancing strains from an expensive music box, the like of which I had never before seen. PALATIAL APARTMENTS Then Mr. Malone led us to his private apartments, where he found rest from his own wife and the publie. When he went into this depart, ment and shut the door, no one disturbed him for anything. Some part of the furnishing reminded me of the Arabian Nights. The bed room and bounder of this truly remarkable couple a-stounded me. I had travelled far and wide, but the conceptions of the artist and the beauty and splendor of the surroundings amazed and astounded me. I had hoped to inspect this structure at my leisure, but I did not find time to visit this place again. The elevators were of the most modern construction and an addition was beow made at the time to the spacious edifice. PROF. BROWN'S RESIDENCE A few moments later, I had vaulted into the fine automobile which was in waiting and then on to 12:57 Sutter Avenue. my future residence during my stay in the great city of St. Louis. I slept well that night, although I had retired late. Poet Brown went on to his school, of which he is principal. His very able son Civil Engineer E. A. Brown accompanied me to the city. He showed me to the Schubert Jefferson where sessions were to be held and then to the Jefferson Hotel where I registered. Never have I received a more cordial greeting at the hands of a local committee. When I had secured the American Bankers' Association pin, the white lady stenographer wrote my name to be put in the other part so that I could be properly addressed by those greeting me. President Robert F. Maddox, of Atlanta, Georgia had not called the meeting to order, so I wandered about the business street of that great city, looking in the store windows and observing the thickly congested traffic in this remarkable city. FINE TRAFFIC OFFICERS St. Louis has the finest group of traffic officers that I have seen any where in this country. They are men of magnificent physique and some of them are over six feet in height. They keep traffic moving and they move for every moment, they are beckoning some teamster or chauffeur to go this way or that and in a manner that was pleasing. There was no disposition to penalize anybody for everyone could see that the hard, worked officer was succeeding in hurrying everyone to his destination. But I was returning, now to the (Continued on p. 116) PRICE, FIVE CENTS The Richmond Cleaners, Dyers and Pressers Union Meets Tuesday.

Mrs. Alie Steward, of Fourth Avenue, N. W., who has been very sick for several weeks is reported much improved. The news of the sudden death of Mrs. Margaret Burks, Friday morning, October 10. at Wytheville, Va., was a shock. She was well known by the wealthiest white people of Roanoke, she having originally waited on many of them in sickness in their homes. She was loved by all who knew her and was a most lovable woman, a noble Christian character, a very model mother. She will be greatly missed by those with whom she associated in life. The deceased was a faithful member of the A. M. E. Church, at Wytheville, Va. A great woman has fallen asleep. Peace to the memory of this sainted Christian mother.

She leaves to mourn their loss, the following history: Mrs. Elliott of THE TOWN HOUSES BOYDTON INSTITUTE OPENS OCTOBER 15, WITH DR. CHARLES S. MORRIS, SR., AT THE HEAD. This old historic school, built by slave hands for the aristocrats of the South, with never a dream that it would over educate their own, will reopen for the first time with a colored man at its head. It was at Boydton that one of the professors before the war, wrote a book to prove that slavery was decreed by God to be the perpetual condition of the Negro. The trustees have given Dr. Morris full authority to make Boydton one of the greatest religious educational centers of the South. As the school opens after many of the other schools, which are already crowded, students unable to enter Petersburg, Lawrenceville, Union, Hartshorn, may come to Boydton, where they will find the healthiest climate, the best water, good, wholesome food, excellent teaching in the academic branches and a splendid Bible training combined with the healthiest moral surroundings for young men and women. Tuition and board, twelve dollars a month. Boydton is on the Southern Railway, 12 miles from Chase City.

The family wishes to thank the many friends of Cleveland, Ohio and here at home for the sympathy shown in their sore bereavement. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church has a very good revival going on, where there is a splendid opportunity for getting in the way. There is plenty of room for any who will come and accept the Saviour, for He is calling men from all the walks of life to come to judgment and they will profit much to obey His loving voice which says, "Come unto me," all ye ends of the earth and be saved." A grand revival is going on at the High Street Baptist Church, beginning last Sunday, from which it is hoped that many a wanderer may come home and cease to roam. It is further hoped that there may be a great gathering of souls to the Master's service before these services close. To the Public: Mrs. E. W. Crockett, 501 Commonwealth Avenue, N. E. has returned from her trip in the South, where she had gone on business for the Ambrosia Toilet Company. She certainly enjoyed a fine stay in the Queen City.

W., the officers and teachers of the High Street Baptist Church gave a reception in honor of the departing Superintendent of the Sunday School, Mr. J. L. Stockton, who is leaving the city for good to take up the mail business in the city of New York. After perfunctory remarks by different members of the Sunday School the tostmaster, Mr. W. E. Davis introduced the speaker of the evening, Lawyer J. L. Reid. Notwithstanding his talk was more on an extemporaneous order than a well defined speech. He had as a subject The Progressive Sunday School. So forceful and timely were the remarks that the Sunday School has appointed a committee to see if the Attorney will not allow them to put his speech in the press and for this reason we will not remark on it further than to say that he not only did credit to the speech, but also cast many bouquets at the feet of the departing and honored guest. After the speech-making the attention was then turned to a more lively part of the program, the real reception. That affable caterer and cook, "Ed" Williams certainly showed his ability in his line and had a repast that probably cost from $5.0 or more a plate. The first course consisted of fried oysters, ham sandwiches, olives, potato salad, salted crackers, saratoga chips, mixed pickles. Second course ice cream, cake a in Boko. Third course, hot chocolate, toothpicks. Fourth course, assorted mints, aqua fortis served on ice. Music was furnished throughout the intermissions and also while supper was served by those now rising musicians, the Clof Orchestra, under the guidance and direction of Prof. Page. The only flaw during the evening was the regrettable fact that the waitresses, Misses Beatrice Hack, ley and Ethel Williams were laid up the next day from constant attendance on Mr. J. T. Williams and Mr. Harold W. Jones. They certainly enjoyed the catables from the manner in which they called for seconds, thirds and fourths. In fact, Mr. Jones remarked that he would not if the Superintendent left again. THE CORLEY COMPANY Player-Piano Week A NEW 88-NOTE Easy Terms Bench to match and selection of new Music Rolls included.

RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library TIME IS FLEETING—KEEP POSTED JUSTICE! IS THE PLEA OF LUCIAN B. WATKINS An Open Letter to Harrison George of the Chicago Race Riots. 3742 1-2 Forest Avenue 3742 1-2 Forest Avenue, Chicago, Ill., Sept. 22, 1919. Mr. Harrison George, Care of The Great Western Pub- ishing Co., 1237 W. Madison St., Chicago, Ill. Sir: I have read your booklet, CHICAGO RACE RIOTS. You inform us in your preface that: "This pamphlet is an earnest, conscientious probe of the fearful set of social circumstances that could make possible and let lose this flame of beastiness and animalism." You say: "The author of this pamphlet is convinced that the cause of the race conflict in Chicago and elsewhere in the United States is rooted deep in our economic system and, while other contributing causes are admitted, their influence on the actions of men and women of both races is so slight that they can with reason and good judgment practically be disregarded in a book of this size and character." Let me make this the first sentence of what I have to say: THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE TROUBLES BETWEEN THE WHITE AND BLACK RACES IN AMERICA IS THE INHORN HATRED THAT IS IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO RESENT THE HUMAN ASPIRATIONS OF COLORED PEOPLE. This Satanic germ was conceived and hatched in the souls of slaveholders and is only bearing its deadly fruit, after its kind. Race-hatred prompted the crimes against Colored people, in Chicago, that were perpetrated immediately preceding the riots: The repeated bombing of the homes of Colored citizens; the excusable beating of those Colored men and women in Washington Park, last June; the murder of that Colored man at Fifty-fourth Street and Wentworth Avenue; another at Fifty-seventh Street and La付ette Avenue; then the stoning and consequent drowning of that black boy, at the beach. Race-hatred tolerated the escape from apprehension of those murderers, and was the sympathy shown, and the murderer in the last-mentioned case. While Chicago's white policeman, with their white soldier assistants, were busy disarming the Colored people, during the riots, Chief of Police John J. Garrity, advised the white people, to arm themselves. This significant news appeared in one of Chicago's leading white newspapers. Race-hatred was the monster who arrested the "rioters"; more than 200 Colored and less than 100 white. The riots were started by a white offender, at the beach; white mobs invaded the colored residential sections, and the victims of their number were killed by the colored defendants of their own lives, property and homes; the deaths, resulting from the riots, are officially recorded as 23 colored and 15 white; of the colored killed, it has been proven that seven met their deaths at the hands of the police and their helpers. Pursuing its foul policy, race-hatred promptly charged the outraged colored people with having caused the onslaught of the hoodhum white mobs. And, it seems that the worst is not yet come. In its pernicious campaign against us, race-hatred dupes and uses some of our own people. These misguided creatures are titled "race leaders." To their race they are as faithless as Brutus, as perfidious as Arnold, as loveless as Judas. The unmanly mouthings of these serpentine lickspittles are given prominence in some of the leading white publications in America. The Negro who really has something many to say would not be able to buy space in these same papers. Race-hatred designs that all the good, relative to Colored people, shall be kept in the background, if it cannot be entirely suppressed, but that the suggestive bad and ridiculous, alleged or otherwise, shall not escape the attention of its prepared public. If you ask me what it is that race-hatred fears beyond anything else in America, I say it is the Negro Press. These Negro publications, that are being quoted by the Congressmen who debate a means to suppress them, are read throughout the civilized world. Their stormy truths are written in the crying blood of our mob-murdered comrades. Theirs is the united voice of our fallen dead and the white martyrs who fought and died for the liberty of black people in America. These call to us in the words of the late Colonel McCrea, of Montreal: "Take up our quarrel with the foe: you from falling hands we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep. * * * * "Above the fight their lonely bugle grieves!" The world, at this time, is hungry for facts. It asks only, "Is this thing true?" We may criticise the manner in which a truth is presented, but no honest mind finds fault with the truths of facts themselves. Man's inhumanity to man shall be made known from one end of this tottering world to the other. This is the task of the Negro Press. May God bless it! THE MAD MORONS—WHO MAKE A SABBATH HOLIDAY—MURDERING A MAN—INCH BY INCH—TO THE DELIGHT OF THEIR SUNDAY SCHOOL, CLASSSES—DESERVES THE RIDICULE AND THE SCORN OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD. These Sons of Perdition—who out-hunt the Huns, out-savage the savages, outdo the Devil—shall be known for what they are. There is but one term in the human tongue that expresses these Creatures, in their utter deprivacy, their absolute loss of conscience—that term is: AMERICAN NEGROHATERS! This represents the last letter in the Alphabet of Degradation. But—how all our troubles prove our White Friends! How it proves the Christly characters who come and are crucified with us! These are they whose heads are broken in the Senate Hall; who are dragged through the streets of Boston; who march to the gallows of Harpers Ferry, stopping to kiss a black babe, by the wayside; who are beaten and bruised in Texas—all for us, and for the sake of the Truth they see and serve! These are they who have heard that gentle voice on The Mount, saying: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." We do not deceive ourselves with the thought that the injustices we suffer in America begin with her mobs. They begin higher up—or, more accurately, lower down. They begin with her legislators who persecute us with their prejudice and lynch us with their laws; who mock our miseries and barrageuse our highest aspirations; who withhold measures that would save our lives, but pass those for the protection of inanimate property.

"What-So-Ever a Man Soweth That Shall He Also Reap." LYNCHING LAWLESSNESS LYNCHING AMERICAN RICE-RIOT SEED LYNCH SEED L. H. P. D. JOHNSON-19- REV. WILLIAM M. MOSS IS GONE. Prominent Baptist Divine of Brook. lyn, N, Y. Died Suddenly. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The funeral services for the Reverend William Maurice Moss, D. D., pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn were held Sunday afternoon, October 12, at 2 o'clock. Dr. Moss suffered a nervous breakdown due to overwork following an attack of the grip in March, 1917, from which he never fully recovered. On Sunday, October 5, Dr. Moss filled his pulpit at all services. His morning text was taken from the gospel by Matthew 3:15. After the morning service he administered the ordinance of baptism and at 3:30 Dr. Moss served the Lord's Supper to a large number of communicants. The evening sermon was preached by the Rev. C. C. Boone, D. D., M. D., returned missionary from Africa. Dr. Moss presided at this also. He was apparently in his usual health and good spirits Monday and Tuesday. When he retired Tuesday night he was happy and as jolly as usual, but at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, October 8, he was stricken with apoplexy and died shortly after 9 o'clock. Dr. Moss was fifty-four years of age and had been pastor of Concord for nine years. The body of the deceased pastor lay in state at the church from 10' o'clock Saturday morning until evening, when it was taken back to his late home, 346 Grand avenue. Dr. Moss's remains were again transferred to the church where they lay in state Sunday until the time for the funeral at 2 o'clock. Thousands viewed the body of the distinguished pastor. Mrs. Mary A. Parson and Mune. Daisy Tapley alternated at the organ from 10 o'clock Sunday morning until 1:30 P. M., while great throngs of people of both races passed the funeral bier. The Rev. Walter J. Moss, a former deacon of Concord, but now pastor of the Congden Street Baptist Church, at Providence, R. L., presided at the funeral ceremonies and the oulogy was delivered by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Hughes, pastor of the Union Baptist Church, Orange, N. J., a close friend of the late pastor. Scores of ministers were present, many coming long distances. Among those who delivered brief eulogies were Drs. A. Clayton Powell, W, Spencer Carpenter, W. P. Hayes, F. M. Jacobs, M. D. Timothy White outlined the hymn. Dr. Moss was buried Monday at his old home in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS MULTI-PLAN NATIONAL Washington, D. C.—The National Race Congress, which has been in session here during the week, closed going on record advocating the unrestricted ballot in the hands of every American citizen, the protection of all under the law, and wiping out of jim-crowism. There were pressent representative $ \mathrm{m_{n}} $ and women from twenty-one States and much interest was manifested by them. All sessions were held in the Metropolita $ \mathrm{n} $ Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Dr. W. M. D. Norman is pastor. The opening sermon was preached Monday night by the Rev. E. A. P. Cheek, of Newark, N. J., national chapain and then followed the opening on Tuesday morning, presided over by Dr. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., the president. "America" was used to open the session, and the prayer was made by Dr. Cheek. Commissioner Brownlow extended welcome to the delegates as did M. K. King and Architect J. A. Langford. Bishop I. N. Ross, D. D., of the A. M. B. Church, made the opening remarks setting forth the work of the Congress, advocating the abolition of "jim.crowism," the use of the ballot, proper treatment of the race, and setting forth the kind of leadership needed. He said that the race would not follow the hand-selected leader, but would take unto itself the right to select the leaders, and would cast aside those selected because they could be used as a rubber stamp. He wanted real men, fearless men, men who would contend for the rights of the race on all occasions, and who would not sell out. He deplored the recent race riots, and declared they were conducted by the lawless element, and that the law, abiding element of both races should get together and that some action be taken by them toward minimizing such dangers in the future. The feature of Tuesday was the annual address by Dr. W. H. Jernagin of Washington, who touched every phase of the work don $ _{0} $ and to be brought before the people. He outlined a program for the future which would accomplish great good for the race, if carried out. His recommendations were adopted, hence permanent headquarters will be established and sections for racial development will be brought into life. In this there is to be a department of transportation, of commerce, of race adjustment, of franchise. Among the noted speakers during the session were: Dr. T. J. Goodall, of Savannah, Ga.; Bishop C. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C.; Bishop C. S. Smith, Detroit, Mich.; Dr. W. W. Lucas, Meridan, Miss.; Rev. P. James Bryant, Atlanta, Ga.; Mary Talbert, Buffalo, N. Y.; Prof. John R.

'A memorial was sent to Congress, which was a strong document. ```markdown ``` MAN WHO MURDERS WHITE GIRL IS HIMSELF SLAIN. Daughter of Arkansas Farmer Shot to Death by Colored Man, Seeking Revenge. Marianna, Ark., Oct. 20.—Alex Wilson, colored who shot and killed Ruth Murrah, a nineteen year old wealthy white girl, today while she and Miss Estelle Clifton were riding near here was shot and instantly killed near the scene of the crime tonight by a posse of citizens after he had been captured by another posse and was being brought to Marianna, according to word received here. It is reported here that Mr. Clifton and the Negro Saturday had a disagreement over a settlement over some cotton on which the Negro had worked. Mr. John D. Jones, of Reedville, Mass., was in the city this week. He has been to San Francisco, El Paso, Mexico, San Antonio, Texas. EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS THE SIGHTS IN ST. LOUIS—FINE TRAFFIC OFFICERS—PROBLEM IN CHEMISTRY—SOCIAL GATHERINGS. It is well nigh impossible to describe the artistic effects secured in the designing and the embellishment of the Poro College building erected by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This magnificent brick structure with all modern conveniences has been erected for the purpose of being a college of instruction for the many agents of this system of hair culture. The large number of private parlors fitted with all of the modern appliances for straightening and improving the hair was a wonderful revelation to me. PREPARING FOR LUNCHEON I was ushered into a private apartment with the accommodating Prof. Charles H. Brown accompanying me and told to prepare for the luncheon that had been prepared especially for "the gentleman from Virginia." My two satchels were opened and in a short time I came forth as a member of the American Bankers' Association. I had made no mistake in preparing myself either as I was in the company of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Brown and their charming daughter. As I entered the palatial parlor, I met the invited guests. A. MAGNIFICENT REPAST A moment later, $w_0$ were ushered into the magnificent dining hall. At each plate was the name of the invited guest. Mrs. Malone was gowned in a fashion that the proud New York 400 might envy, while her handsome husband wore the latest suit designed by America's leading tailors. The repast was served to a "queen's taste" and cooked with all of the aesthetic flavors of the French chef. Dinner over, we retired to the 'den' and while I could not smoke, I could enjoy the entrancing strains from an expensive music box, the like of which I had never before seen. PALATIAL APARTMENTS Then Mr. Malone led us to his private apartments, where he found rest from his own wife and the pub.lic. When he went into this department and shut the door, no one disturbed him for anything. Some part of the furnishing reminded me of the Arabian Nights. The bedroom and boudoir of this truly remarkable couple astounded me. I had travelled far and wide, but the conceptions of the artist and the beauty and splendor of the surroundings amazed and astounded me. I had hoped to inspect this structure at my leisure, but I did not find time to visit this place again. The elevators were of the most modern construction and an addition was being made at the time to the spacious edifice. PROF. BROWN'S RESIDENCE. A few moments later, I had vaulted into the fine automobile which was in waiting and then on to 1287 Sutter Avenue, my future residence during my stay in the great city of St. Louis. I slept well that night, although I had retired late. Prof. Brown went on to his school, of which he is principal. His very able son, Civil Engineer E. A. Brown accompanied me to the city. He showed me to the Schubert Jefferson where sessions were to be held and then to the Jefferson Hotel where I registered. Never have I received a more cordial greeting at the hands of a local committee. When I had secured the American Bankers' Association pin, the white lady stenographer wrote my name to be put in $th_0$ other part so that I could be properly addressed by those greeting me. President Robert F. Maddox, of Atlanta, Georgia had not called $th_0$ meeting to order, so I wandered about the business streets of that great city, looking in the store windows and observing the thickly congested traffic in this remarkable city. FINE TRAFFIC OFFICERS St. Louis has the finest group of traffic officers that I have seen anywhere in this country. They are men of magnificent physique and some of them are over six feet in height. They keep traffic moving and they move for every moment, they are beckoning some teamster or chauffeur to go this way or that and in a manner that was pleasing. There was no disposition to penalize anybody for everyone could see that the hard-worked officer was succeeding in hurrying everyone to his destination.

FULTON NOTES: Calvary Notes: We had a very interesting gathering in our Sunday School last week. Brother R. Holmes of the Rising Mt. Zion paid us a short visit. We felt very sorry that his stay was so short. Our pastor preached a lovely sermon last Sunday morning. His subject was, "The Second Time," Acts 17:13. At 8:30 P. M., Rev. William E. Brown preached a great sermon. We have on our sick list: Mrs. Mary Frayser, Anni$_{1}$ Allen, Robecca Terrell, Mrs. Martha Edwards, Brother Walker, Brother E. Mills and Mrs. Daisy Jackson. They are improving nicely. The Fulton Beneficial Club, No. 1 entered its new building for the first time last Sunday evening. Mr. Valentine was accidentally hurt last week. He is the father of Superintendent Beverly Valentine of Calvary Sunday School. Rev. N. B. Brown, pastor of Rising Mount Zion Baptist Church preached one of the best sermons last Sunday morning that we ever listened to. It was explicit and to the point. He also preached on Wednesday at the Richmond Tredegar Works to its employees. This was also heartily enjoyed by his hearers. Rev. J. H. Brown, the son-in-law of ex Justice Whiting, baptized and administered the Lord's Supper at the Little Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Henrico County, Va., of which Rev. W. S. Tuck is pastor. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Lynchburg, Va., Sept. 17, 1919.

An American citizen may be lynched in any State of the Union. It is not a federal offense, it is the "State's Rights." When I hear the truly great doctrines of Democracy by the sacrilegious lips of these blatant statesmen, my heart exclaims, in the words of Emerson: HOW CAN I HEAR WHAT YOU SAY—WHILE WHAT YOU ARE KEEPS THUNDERING IN MY EARS! It is true that the Colored people of America are not immune to the hatred about them. We are human, after all. We are neither angels nor fiends. Some of us are fully susceptible to the contagion of ill-will that is in the atmosphere we breathe. But we believe that there is such a thing as a justifiable spirit of righteous indignation. When Moses slew the Egyptian; when blind Sasanus, with his God-restored strength, razed the building and died with the multitude; when the peaceful Christ flogged the money-changers in the temple—these were filled with the divine wrath of a just cause. Surely, the black men who died in South State Street, defending their homes and families and friends, were not rioters, but immortal martyrts. Some of them may have been shiftless, in every-day life, but they all died the heroes of that awful hour, and for the glorious cause of Home-Love and Self-Defense. These died for peace, 'twas what they loved the best; (Their spirits breathe in every kinsman's breast) They gave their All: God gave them Heaven and rest. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his Life for his friends"—said Christ. Thomas Brackett Reed said: "Wars and seiges pass away and great intellectual efforts cease to stir our hearts, but the man who sacrifices himself for his fellows, live forever." PRAYER OF THE RACE WHOM GOD MADE BLACK. We would be peaceful, Father,—but, when we must. Help us to thunder hard the blow that's just! We would be prayerful: Lord, when we have prayed, Let us arise courageous—unafraid! We would be manly—proving well our worth, Then would not cringe to any god on earth! We would be loving and forgiving, thus Would love our neighbor as Thou lovest us! We would be faithful, loyal to the Right,— Ne'er doubting that the Day will follow Night! We would be all that Thou hast meant for man, Up through the ages, since the world began! God! save us in Thy Heaven, where all is well!— We come slow—struggling up the Hills of Hell! AMEN! ? Men fight, races riot, nations war—because they do not understand each other. Instead of barriers of segregation, discrimination, limitation, that make, and keep the races strangers, one to the other, we need the Union that would mean Understanding, Sympathy, Brotherhood, Love, Peace, Progress. We all have a common enemy—SATAN. It is the business of this enemy to set heart against heart, race against race, nation against nation. It is his business to destroy the world. This he will accomplish, but the Kingdom of God will be established in its stead. Satan's present Kingdom on earth is the Purgatory wherein souls are purified for Heaven. It is the Crucible that proves the good. The sufferings and crucifixion of the guiltless Christ proved His Sublime Love for the world. Evil is a foe with which we must reckon, a battle that we must fight—the war wherein our innest character is developed to the glory of God. It is a necessary part of human experience, a counterforce that must be met by the force of human nature, a part of the sum of human life, a part of the process through which souls must pass in the making and romaking of man in the image of God. Satan is the Author of evil, but it must be remembered that God is the Cause of Satan. Satan is only a part of God's Cosmic Whole—which is GOOD. Evil will pass away; it is not permanent. We are told, in the Book of Truth, that Satan will be destroyed. This is why go od and right and truth must triumph over bad and wrong and falshood. Only the Good is Absolute and Eternal. American's part in the solution of her self-instituted Race Problem is summed up in the one word—JUSTICE. Justice is the two-edged sword that cuts against the wrong and for the right. It will cure the cancer of Hate and Selfishness that is eating at the very vitals of American manhood, and womanhood. Ask France. Until she learned, through the immortal Toussaint I'Ouverture, her present wholesome respect for the brains of black men, she was as helpless with her Negro problem as America is today. Now she realizes that a competent Negro is as great an asset for France as a competent Caucasian. This faith saved France. It will save America. Nothing else will. "So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind While just the art of being kind Is all this sad world needs." wrote Mrs. Wilcox. This is a living principle that would solve all the problems of the human race. America went wrong when she instituted slavery, in violation of that Godly clause in her Constitution; ALL MEN ARE CREATED FREE AND EQUAL. She was wrong in her method of emancipating these slaves. After two centuries and more of slave-service, through which they received merely their keep, these black people were turned loose without funds or homes with which to begin their so-called freedom. Added to this, they had the enmity of the very people whom they had served so faithfully and long. There was some talk of providing each former slave with "forty acres and a mule." This is now regarded as a colossal joke, but, had the idea been carried out, it would have freed America from a part of the great, blood-wrought debt she still owes her black people. Who is responsible for the failure of the Freedmen's Bank? Some may charge it against the freedmen, but we do not believe that God did anything of the kind. If parents are responsible for their dependent children, the guardians of those unlettered people are responsible for the loss of the tollful dollars of those black depositors. We wonder what the Recording Angel wrote in regard to this crime against a defenseless people! America is wrong in her present efforts to maintain the old master—and servant relation between the races. She is wrong in her attempts to assign a "place" in her national life for her Colored citizens. It cannot be done, Mr. George. Colored people are growing, and they are growing from within. They have begun to burst asunder the terrible mental slavery that held them so cruelly after their hands and feet had been made free. They have learned to think, and thought is boundless. In spite of all that any people may say to the contrary, the fact is sure that the intellectual development of some Negroes is superior to that of most Caucasians, and is equal to the best of them. If you ask me as to the Negro's part in solving his problem in America, stated briefly, I say it is the improving of himself and the re-educating of the white race to recognize that improvement. The latter is his task rather than a consistent part of his duty. Every country on earth recognizes the worth of its Negro citizens except America. You may say that this is because no country understands the Negro but America. No; here is the difference: While America thinks she understands Colored people, the other countries know that they understand human nature. They have studied the question in the absolute, while America has been formulating a theory out of her prejudice and thinks she has fitted her Colored people to it. She has been busy labeling the Negro as being some kind of peculiar by-product resulting from the job God did when He made the Caucasian. She is wrong, and that is why she will have to be taught to see, think and act straight, Human nature is bigger than the personal opinion of any one people. It is as great as the human family. It is the one thing that is common to all human beings. No human problem can be solved until this significant fact is recognized. With her discriminations and hostile sentiments against her Colored people, America asserts that the Negro is, by nature, inferior to the white race. We refuse to believe it. How absurd this American attitude must seem to France, who has her General Dodd and other black dignitaries, and to England, who has her black governors, mayors, postmasters, and other black men of affairs in West Africa. There are equally as great Negro examples in America, but she has not the eyes to see, the ears to hear nor the heart to know them. In the histories of Harvard, Yale, and other mighty universities of our country, are written the glorious records and scholarly achievements of black students who made their illustrious marks side by side with the best white brains that America could muster. Yet, in spite of the abundance of evidence which proves its presumption false. Prejudice its eyes and shouts in the face of fact its blind belief in a lie. Serious students, who have delivered into the subjects with honest minds, are convinced that the fathers of the present world civilization were not white, but were black people, the founders of ancient Ethiopia and Egypt. Dr. Scholes, in his book, "Glimpses of Ethiopia," writes: "It may be gathered from the monuments and records that Egypt was the first seat of civilization, which originating in the South (Ethionia) spread by the settlements of colonies toward the North (Egypt)." Featherstone, in his "Social History of the Races of Mankind," asserts, confidentially, that the ancient Ethiopians were of the Negro race. Taken together, these statements, by white historians, credit the black race with having been the first civilized people of the world. Doubledless Napoleon had this in mind, when this great soldier and student pointed his finger toward the mighty pyramids of Egypt and said to his army: "Soldiers of France, forty centuries look down upon you!" He uttered a truth. This Ethiopian empire was established by black men centuries before the black Solomon built his temple. Allen, in his 'Histories of Civilization,' says: "We probably will not reflect long before we decide that the white THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA faces must be left out of account, for they seem to be traced back only to Western Asia. From here they seem to have spread over the world, but wherever they went they found other people ahead of them. In India, they found the Dravidians; in Europe, the Turanians. The tribes speaking the Semotic language found the Turanians in Mesopotamia and in Egypt nearby lost their distinctive characters by their extensive mingling with the blacks." How did these black people lose their power? Theirs is the old, old story of the rise and fall of nations. Since then, the same has happened to white nations—one, two, three and more. It is the history of the world, the cycle of the ages. But somewhere amid the dust of each decayed kingdom there lives the seed of a new and better birth. In the ashes of past idols the true spirit of regeneration breathes. Quoting from your booklet, Mr. George, we read: "With the exception of some black upstarts who are ashamed of their color and wish to get out of any recognized zone, we believe that the colored population of Chicago, wants to work and pay for decent homes and is sufficiently self-respecting to desire to live and go their way in the world without intruding where they are not wanted and the Whites should show the same fine sense of social discrimination. The contemptible few who are not satisfied with the opportunities and surroundings among their own people will effectually be curbed by the Negro pride of race and pressure of public opinion." You conclude your paragraph by saying: "The upstanding, self-respecting Negrees want to live to themselves and it is up to the city to see that they are given the opportunity." Sir, such self-ordained spokesmen as you make the problem between the races in America. You draw your un-Christly color-line and call it a "fine sense of social discrimination." You speak of Colored people "intruding where they are not wanted." You talk about "the contemptible few who are not satisfied with the opportunities and surroundings among their own people." You tell us about the "pressure of public opinion" that, you say, will effectually" curb those of us who may seek better living quarters, that may happen to be outside of, what you call, our "recognized zone." You authorize yourself to diagnose the feelings of Colored people and prescribe and prescribe for their needs. Don't you know that such men as you mobilize mobs and license them for lawlessness? You make it appear to the thoughtless and irresponsible of your race that they have a right to resent the presence of a colored family in "their block." When your diabolic disciples voice their resentment with a bomb yours is the real hand behind the deed. We are told, in the Bible, that Satan will finally be given the worst of all punishments. This is Justice. In this we sense a great moral lesson. Leaders should teach the truth. Tell your people the truth. Teach them the right phase of this matter. Say to them: "Colored people have a perfect right, legal right and moral, to live wherever they may choose, in Chicago. We have no right to object to this. We have no segregation law in this city, and we do not intend to have it in practice. Our laws are fair and we are going to be as fair as our laws." Tell them the truth. Say to them: "There is something radically wrong, mentally, morally and spiritually, with the white citizen who is offended by the presence of a decent Colored neighbor." Sir, a stand like this, by those of your who are in authority, would cure all of this ridiculous talk about colored taxpayers, who move into their own property, being "invaders" and "inuders." Many of the newspapers, throughout the country, are engaged in making the entirely legal acts of Colored people, appear as intolerable crimes to many unthinking or evil minds. This wrong standard of conduct is harming unborn generations of both races in America. ] As to the "fine sense of social discrimination," that is based on the physical characteristics of races, let one say that true social worth is measured by character and social accomplishments. In this sense, the best of one race may be equal with the best of another. Just as no race is composed of social equals, so it is that all social equals do not belong to any one race. Persons may be social equals who never meet in the same society; they may be equal in social culture and qualifications. Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other." One social group may not care for the society of another, yet this does not argue social superiority either one way or the other. While we, the Colored people of America, are not seeking the society of other races, we believe that we are the social equal of any race on earth. You say that some Negroes are ashamed of their race, presumably, because, as you inform us, some "wish to get out of any recognized zone." When Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery himself and protested for his people, it was no evidence that he was ashamed of his race. It is true that he, as a slave, was no worse off than his fellow-sufferers, but it is also true that they all were as good, in their God-Created Right, as the race that held them. We are not ashamed of our race. Our race has played its part in the events of this world. When Christ fell exhausted by the wayside, our race bore His Cross up Calvary's Hill. Our race bled, with Crispus Attucks, the blood that stained its first stripe of Old Glory; it gave its bruises to make its field of blue and the sublime light of its soul to help kindle our American Stars. Our race went with Peary to the "pole." Our race stayed the evil hand of death and saved the instant life of the martyred McKinley. Our race watched alone with Roosevelt in the hour of death. On San Juan Hill in Flanders Fields, in No Man's Land our race's black boys gave their All for our country in arms.

No; we are not ashamed of our race, but we are ashamed of the race that is unjust to ours. You say that we "want to live to ourselves." No; we choose to live together, but not together "to ourselves." We question the right on any race to force us—either by law or "pressure of public opinion—to live "to ourselves" in segregation or Jim-Crow humiliation. We contend for the liberty and citizen's right to exercise our own judgments in these matters affecting our welfare. We ask no more than this, and believe that no same American citizen would be satisfied with less. This is our interpretation of "Sweet Land of Liberty!" A Southern Congressman said, the other day, that the Colored people in his part of the country want to ride in the Jim-Crow car. Assuming this to be true, it does not prove the right of any set of people to order them to do so. We can believe that some simple-minded Negroes were satisfied as slaves, but this did not make slavery right nor its abolition wrong. Civil and human rights are bigger than any individual's personal opinion or preference, if that opinion or preference is contrary to what one is entitled to. A citizen is entitled to certain rights because all citizens are entitled to them. It is unfair to say that segregation in the South represents the Colored people's choice.

It would seem as though every- body $ \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{n}} $ this locality were planning to attend. The very name of the great new circus—Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Combined—has been sufficient to arouse far more interest than has ever before been shown $ \mathrm{n} $ in the coming of any amusement enterprise. And word from the Ringling Brothers, who are the directors of this gigantic supercircus, is to the effect that those who attend the performances will witness the greatest program ever presented in America. This is likewise true of the mam- moth street parade, which will positively take place showday morni- ning, the mammoth menagerie and all else connected with this biggest of all amusement institutions. The famous showman have made a com- pleat survey of both the great cir- cuses and merged the finest and best of each into one. Hundreds upon hundreds of performers will appear in the gigantic main tent. There will be scores upon scores of the cleverest dumb actors. A gorgeously costumed pageant, of stupendous size, will open the program. Great companies of char- acters, representing the best loved stories of fable and nursery lore, will appear. There will be splendid and many groups of beautiful horses jewelled trappings. The army of clowns exceed all past records for fun and numbers. All contribute to the biggest circus in history.

We regret to learn that there was any action on the part of certain white and colored citizens, that he would "start something" to the extent of causing any unpleasant feeling on the part of anybody or to induce $ \mathrm{th}_{0} $ colored people to assume any attitude than that of loyal, law-abiding citizens. Mr. Trotter's recital was both entertaining and interesting and in no part of it was any language used that would tend to stir up strife among the races. We are gratified to know that he came to Richmond and was vouchsafed an opportunity to speak in the best meeting place in the city without mishap to himself or to anybody else. Much of the trouble from which we suffer is of our own making. Colored people, or rather some of them, are alleged to have warned the authorities against Mr. Trotter. Be that as it may, he spoke here and a few white folks and many colored ones heard him. The Chief of Police Major C. A. Sherry in his attractive uniform saw that order was preserved. The colored folks were glad to see them present, as they became witnesses to the fact that the meeting was one of the most orderly ever held in this city. PECULIAR CONDITIONS The ratification of the Peace Treaty and the approval of the covenant in the organization of the League of Nations are now engaging the attention of the United States Senate. It has been definitely decided, if we are to accept the statements of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who is the official spokesman of that body of Senators, who oppose the treaty, that the two documents will be approved without approving them, that they will be ratified without ratifying them. The idea is to ratify the treaty and the League of Nations Covenant and to include in the said ratification such reservations as will nullify certain provisions of the original document. The effect will be that both instruments will be ratified only so far as the sections in the diplomatic document are not affected by the aforesaid reservations. This will place the American diplomats in a most embarrassing position for the United States of America will not consider itself bound by certain requirements in the Peace Treaty and the covenant of the League of Nations as originally submitted. It was against this action that President Woodrow Wilson has protested and on account of which he made the extensive and protracted tour that has resulted in the break down of his nervous system. It is difficult to foresee what will be the ultimate outcome of all of this. The fact is that the civilized nations have departed and wandered far away from fundamental principles. Weak nations and peoples are being held in the grasp of strong ones and great right principles are being ignored and forgotten. It is not difficult to forecast the result of this action.

INDICTED IN U. S. COURT. Persons Involved in Case Prominent in Richmond Social Circles-Defendant Released Under Bond of $1,000. Charged with sending poisoned candy to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lucy Harwood Marshall, Mrs. Helen R. Marshall was arrested yesterday by Federal authorities here and charged with a violation of the postal laws and of section 217 of the penal code. Mrs. Marshall is the wife of William Marshall of 401 1-2 East Main Street, and the daughter-in-law is the wife of William Marshall, Jr., of 1620 Park Avenue. Mrs. Marshall, Sr., was indicted by the Federal grand jury which convened at the beginning of the present term of the United States District Court. The indictment created somewhat of a sensation as those involved are prominent in social circles of Richmond. When the indictment was returned it was stated that Mrs. Marshall was in Philadelphia but that she would return to Richmond. RELEASED ON $1,000 BAIL Upon her return here yesterday she was taken into custody by Deputy Marshall Harrison and Post-office Inspector Dixon. Later she was released on $1,000 bail to appear before the United States District Court at a special session which will be held on December 9. Federal authorities state that the candy was mailed on June 11, Mrs. Marshall, Jr., is said to have received the box, but on examining the chocolate-coated marshmallows, found that they contained powdered glass and arsenic. It is stated that poison had been pushed up in the bottom of each piece of candy and was easily detected. ON UNFRIENDLY TERMS. Mrs. Marshall Sr., it is stated has not been on good terms with Mrs. Marshall, Jr., for some time and that the young couple have been living with the girl's father George R. Harwood 1620 Park Avenue since their marriage. When the indicted woman was placed under arrest she denied that she had sent the poisoned candy, and declared that the whole case against her was one of "spite work." She is about forty-five years of age. Federal authorities have been carefully working on the case since the time of the receipt of the candy. ONE MAN KIPLED, THREE HURT WHEN AUTO TURNS OVER.

Coroner Bright of Henrico County was notified and started an investigation last night with a view of ascertaining upon the blame may be placed as it was stated by the authorities that members of the auto mobile party had been drinking and that the car was traveling at an excessive rate of speed when the accident took place. As far as could be learned, the car was being driven to Curls Neck farm and turned over three times near the Laurel Hill Church. Parks was pinned beneath the vreck of the car as were several others of the party which included six men. The sixth man is said to have escaped and has not been identified.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ATTERSON AUDIENCE T O L I H O W COVENANT WORKS AGAINST COUNTRY'S TRADITIONS. (New York Sun, Oct. 20, 1919.) United States Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, went over to Patterson last night, accepting an invitation of the citizens to analyze the League of Nations proposal from a straightout American standpoint. He spoke in the United States Opera House before an audience that crowded the large auditorium to the walls and applauded his address tumultously. He attacked with Reed fire and Reed vigor the pretences of a proposal designed, he charged, to entangle the United States in the controversies of foreign nations; a scheme, he asserted, deliberately constructed in the secrecy of Versailles to curiech and protect the weakened nations of Europe and Asia with the wealth and the military power of America. He struck hardest of all at the decept practiced upon the American people in leading the people to believe that the League of Nations would end war, and would create an earthly millennium. Nothing could be falser, said the Senator, since a nexamination of the document proved that the league, as planned, would be a certain breeder of war and would be certain to involve the United States in wars wherein it had no concern, League Question Demands Truth In beginning his address the Senator referred to the illness of the President, saying that President personally, had his entire sympathy; that no man was more hopeful of the President's speedy recovery; but that the League of Nations question was a matter far above personal considerations, a question that demanded frankness and truth at any cost. He asked the citizens of Paterson what they would have thought of the Senate had the Senate attempted to order the President to conform to its will or had abused him for disagreeing with its views. Time fould show the people, if they did not altogether see the fact now, that the President's course has been an attempt to override the free opinion of a corordinate branch of the Government. "If a citizen refuses to repudiate the policies under which our country has become great, the President characterizes him as 'pygmy minded,'" said Senator Reed. "If he declines to turn his back upon Washington and Jefferson he is described as afflicted 'with curious abberations of thinking.' If he refuses to surrender with the pen what Washington gained with the sword, he is politely described as a 'contemptible quitter.' If he cannot see his way clear to embroil America in the wars of every country and to plunge her into the controversies of every land, he sees 'with inundated eyes.' "If he ventures to point out that Article X binds us to send our soldiers to defend the frontiers of every land in every quarter of the globe, he is 'afflicted with amazing ignorance.' If he looks with pride upon the glorious achievements of America's past and refuses to abandon the policies which have brought us to the heights of prosperity, he is a dreamer living in the forgotten age." Abused Because They Differ. "If, after studying the league covenant, lawyers and statesmen reach the conclusion that it is inimical to the public weal, they are classified as men 'whose heads are only fit to serve as knots to prevent their bodies from unravelling.' If Senators of the United States, sworn to defend the Constitution and to protect the republic in strict accordance with the terms of their oaths, study the proposed covenant and reach the conclusion that it is their duty not to advise or to consent to its ratification, they are denounced as 'dishonest opponents of the treaty who will be gibbeted and who will regret that the gibbet is so high.' Or again, they are informed, as the President did declare in Washington some weeks ago, that he would like to see them 'hanged upon a gibbet as high as heaven, but pointed in the opposite direction.'" Senator Reed then described the secret methods by which the peace treaty and League Nations covenant wore formulated, and referred to the President's refusal to supply the Senate with the important documents the Senate had requested. In that secrecy, he continued, an attempt was made to set up a super-government of the world, a super-government in which the majority of the members would be of the dark skinned races and which leaves out nearly 350,000,000 of the white people of the earth. Coming to the proposal to give the British Empire six votes in the league assembly to one for the United States and to the supporting argument that this would be of no consequence because the assembly is "only a deliberative body, a sort of debating society." Senator Reed denounced it as one of the most dangerous schemes over devised against the future of America. Powers of League Assembly. He contended from the language of the covenant itself that the assembly was the supreme court of the league, that it had definite voting power and that its diction was the final authority of the league. The assembly can deny the right of any member to withdraw from the league and can designate any member nation, including any or all of the British dominions or colonies voting in it, to sit as a member of the council. "Assume," said Senator Reed, "that a controversy between the United States and Great Britain is impending, and that the four temporary members of the council—Bolglum, Brazil, Greece and Spain—are friendly to the contention of the United States, whereas France, Italy and Japan, being united with Great Britain by the closest ties, are friendly to her. Assume, further, that the nations just named are able to command—as they probably would be able to command—a majority of votes in the assembly (Great Britain having seven or eight at his disposal). That body could be called into session immediately. The four temporary members of the council could be ousted and the majority vote of the assembly employed to elect successors, every one of whom would be inimical to the United States. "When the controversy between the United States and Great Britain came before the council we would find ourselves and Great Britain excluded because of interest, but Great Britain would hold in the hollow of her hand the seven votes of the council and could secure the unanimous decision required. A refusal on our part to obey the result would result in bringing upon us the united power of all the nations of the world solidified and bound together. Dangerous Power to Britain. "Are we to sit down and indulge in the cestasy of an international dream in which Great Britain appears in the character of a fool with cap and bells, demanding six votes that count for nothing? Then, too, the power of final decision reserved to the assembly gives to the British Empire a dangerous, if not a dominating control of the league, and will enable it, in case the council should ever be prepared to render a decision against it, to nullify the action of the council. "Assume that the United States has a dispute with the British Empire. The Empire refuses to arbitrate and the case goes to the council. Great Britain learns that all of the members of the council not parties to the dispute are of the unanimous opinion that the contention of the United States is just. Thereupon Great Britain gives notice, as would be her right, and the case is transferred to the assembly." "The seven members of the assembly who are members of the council also—France, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Greece, Spain and Brazil—all vote in favor of the United States. This leaves twenty-three members of the assembly who are not members of the council. Unless a majority of these members—twelve—votes to concure with the members of the council, then the decision stands exactly as a decision of the council would stand which lacked unanimous support; that is to say, no binding force whatever. "Great Britain can escape the effect of a unanimous devision in the council provided twelve of the non-council members of the assembly vote with her. She starts with five of the necessary votes in her pocket, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India. Hedjaz, whose king is in her pay, would provide her with an additional vote. It is certain that the vote of Siam would be similarly controlled. Persia is virtually a part of the British Empire and when Persia joins, Great Britain would have that vote. Where Colonies Help Britain; "Starting, therfore, with seven or eight of the necessary twelve, she can create others at any time by employing her votes and influence to elect other British colonies and subject states as members of the league. The thing to keep in mind is that Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India are received into the league as independent States, entitled to all of the rights of independent States, and as such would have the right to vote in matters which affected England or Great Britain. This is absolutely proved by the following letter which Premier Borden of Canada requested and received from the undersigned: 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 concur in 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 "A debating society! On the sixth day of May this letter was written. On the nineteenth day of September this body had so transformed itself that it had become a mere debating society in which votes are of no consequence, whether they are six or whether they are one. O memory, memory! How quick your footprints fade, and on the sands of time how futile it is to write the record of the years.' Shantung Settlement Scored. Senator Reed denounced the Shantung settlement on every ground and made this unusually interesting suggestion: "If we ratify this treaty and agree to protect the frontiers of every member of the league, China shall attack Japan to get back Shantung, I shall be compelled to vote, as every Senator will, to send American soldiers to Japan to defend against China." He exorciated the proposition to make war by bovecots. "Economic war is the last and final brutality of brutal war," said the Senator. "They hope to break the line at the front by breaking the heart of the soldier at the front; pointing out to him that his wife's face is pale and pinched, that the little baby at her breast is tugging at a dry font, with death already written upon its countenance. That is what they call economic pressure, is it? That is the humane proposition of modern reformers, it is the most fieldish thing ever conceived. Poison gas is decent compared to it. They would win war by starving babies to death." The Senator noted that the great Powers, including the United States, are planning increased military and naval establishments, and asked how that coincided with the theory of a successful League of Nations. He termed most of the arguments supporting the league plan "bugaboos which would pass away." He carelessly hoped that the United States, continuing to mind her own business, would decline to meddle with the business of other nations. Closing, the Senator said: "When we acquire the right under a League of Nations to mind the business of other nations, we grant to them the right to mind our business. When America sticks her nose into the business of thirty-one alien States, she gives the right to thirty-one alien States to stick their thirty-one alien noses into the business of the United States. The man who is willing to give to any nation or assoublage of nations the right to mind the business of the American people ought to disclaim American citizenship and emigrate to the country he is willing to have mind America's business for her. "I decline to help set up any government greater than that established by the fathers, baptized in the blood of patriots from the launes of Lexington to the forests of the Argonne, sanctified by the tears of all the mothers whose heroic sons went down to death to sustain its glory and independence—the Government of the United States of America." LODGE RESERVATIONS ARE SAFE, SAYS REED. Believes . Final Action Will Be Recorded in a Mouth. (New York Sun, Oct. 20, 1919.) "It is absolutely certain that the treaty of peace and the covenant of the League of Nations will be rejected by the vote of more than one-third of the Senate," said Senator Reed, of Missouri, at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday afternoon, "unless a majority of the Senate can be found to vote 'yes' upon the four Lodge reservations, a Shantung reservation and either the Johnson amendment or a reservation equivalent to it, to give the United States equal voting power with the British Empire in the league assembly." Senator Reed was trying to get much needed rest yesterday after a long and vigorous campaign to what he has earnestly denounced as a "war breeding power trust," but his repose was spooled by callers aided by the arrival of telegrams congratulating him for the exposure in Madison Square Garden on Saturday night of the hypocrisies and false pretences in the league past as it was presented to the United States Senate. The Madison Square Garden address, which required more than two hours to deliver and which held the complete attention of more than 12,000 persons from first to last, was described by callers and referred to in telegrams as one of the greatest speeches that has been made on the League of Nations tople. "I was tremendously impressed by the reception given to my views here in New York," said the senator Senator from Missouri. "No speaker of experience could fail to get the 'feel' of that splendid audience in Madison Square (Garden—the spirit of Americanism that inspired it). It simply proves how general and deep seated is the determination to protect the future of our country. It proves, too, that the people have been educated as to the real and sinister purposes of, this arrangement, plotted in secret at Versailles, and understand now the attempt that has been made to deceive them. People Want the Truth "All that was ever needed to get the people started in the right direction was to get the truth before the people in the simplest, most direct way. Nobody could blame the people for having a mistaken notion at the beginning of the meaning and purpose of this league of Nations scheme, especially when statesmen they still trusted utterly misrepresented the facts, telling the people that a league would be a sure guarantee of peace instead of a certain breeder of war. "But the great newspapers of the country, and especially The Sun, which has made one of the finest fights for Amedianism in this League of Nations controversy that was ever made by a newspaper in the history of the United States, have awakened the people to the hidden dangers of this iniquitous proposal. Public sentiment against the league has increased steadily. I only wish the proposition could be put before the people for them to vote on. In my judgment the whole league proposal would be rejected by a vote of at least three to one—the whole business." "What will be the outcome in the Senate?" Mr. Reed was asked. "In my opinion," he replied, "it will take about four weeks to finish the discussion and to record the vote on the various amendments and reservations. I should say that the Congress might be able to adjourn by November 20, but I don't see how the business can be completed before that time. It may be necessary to take a brief recess covering the election period, but I am not certain that can be arranged. "Now as to the probable vote," Senator Reed continued, "I am as certain as a man who well knows the feeling of the Senate can be that a majority of the Senate will vote 'yes' upon a reservation which will state plainly that the United States cannot approve of the dismemberment of China in favor of Japan; cannot coincide in the Shantung settlement. That reservation, in my judgment, will make clear that, while the United States is unable to demand the instant restoration of Shantung to China, nevertheless the United States, for the sake of her own honor, and in friendship for China, must stand aloof from the vicious settlement. "The amendment defeated the other day by a vote of 53 to 35 was not properly worded. It implied too much, committed this country to too much, and was, therefore, in disfavor with a number of Senators who are deeply distressed about the S antung matter. I feel certain that thesethese gentlemen, including a DR. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Beautiful Women TAKE greatest pride in their fair, smooth complexions.

ATLANTA GEORGIA number of Democrats, will support a reservation stating that the United States disapproves of the Shantung settlement. 1 expect a clear majority for that proposition. U. S. Must Have Equal Vote "I am equally certain that Senator Johnson's amendment to secure for the United States voting power in the assembly of the League of Nations equal to the voting; power of any other nation will receive a majority. According to my figures enough of the Senators favor that special amendment to make a majority, but in case the balance learned slightly the other way, then a reservation, as potent as an amendment will be put through. You may depend upon that." "The four Lodge reservations are absolutely certain of approval. These specify that the United States reserves the unconditional right to withdraw from the league upon notice; that the United States declines to assume, under the provisions of Article X, or any other article, any obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other country, or to interfere in controversies between other countries; that the United States reserves the right to decide all questions within its damnesty, jurisdiction, and that the United States declines to submit for arbitration or inquiry by the League of Nations any questions touching the Monroe Doctrine. "These four reservations have now a clear majority of the Senate back of them," said Senator Reed. "Without them the treaty of peace and the league covenant cannot be ratified. They are sufficiently drastic to protect the most important interests of this country, and we will not abandon them. The supporters of unqualified ratification can take them or leave them. If they accept them, then the treaty and league go through. If they leave them, they will lose everything, and the country will be so much the gainer, for, to tell the truth, I believe that the real sentiment of a great majority of the people is against entering into this arrangement on any terms." Senator Reed said that nobody was more anxious than he to get the whole discussion out of the way so that Congress could go to work upon domestic problems of the most pressing nature, but he added that the treaty question was too big to compromise about. He will return to Washington this morning, after speaking at Paterson, N. J., last night and spending the night at the Waldorf. $75.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Newport News, Va., 1919.

Retiring in manner, winsome in his address and a veritable eney. clopedia of information, he had been ealled to a position more in keeping with his (ranseendent ability and the necessity for ay increase in revenue. Thad come to regard him as some. thing more than a personal friend, this cool, ealentating sympathetic vanker, Who Views conditions from every angle, But he wanted to 5d and he had gone. RAISING CHICKENS, T hurried that evening out to Prof. Hrown's fine residence and 1 found he was raising a ting stock of high. bred fowls. He had all the neces: sary contrivance for (heir protection, even to the grave where animals that “love fowls” lie buried. Me had some pet Maltese eats in this collec. tion, He would eat his own chick- ens, but he did not propose to let anything else eat them without his consent. Twas much interested in his rather remarkable hennery. Mr. Hm. A, Brown was experimenting. in wireless felegraphy, His mother showed me the devices in his room, while he later did the same thing, THE SURVEYING BUSINESS. ‘Ho is employed in one of the of- fees of a white firm that is doing a surveying business and he is well skilled in Chat “epartment of earthly endeavor, He privately informed me that some of his contrivances in Wiroless lelegraphy were Both his father and his mother re- xarded him as being too far gone in ‘one direction for his own good, ‘They wanted to see a realization of the financial end now. Mrs. Brown wanted him to devote his rare talent for invention of something of practical use that would be generally service- able and in demand. "I have asked Elmer" she said, “to invent a curtain through whieh air could pass without admitting the light.” She wanted this brought about by a chemeial, rather (han by a mechanical process. AIR AND LIGHT. He would not admit that it could not be done, but his reply was that two substances could not occupy the same space at the same time. It waa day or two afterwards that 1 told Mrs, Brown that I did not sec why a curtain could not be designed hat would do this, inasmuch as air moved through any opening like water, but the light moved only in straight lines. But Mrs, Brown wanted it done atong chemical lines rather than along mechanical ones and so T left her and her son to thresh out the problem, It was all in Uhat family, I visited the undertaking parlors of Wuneral Director W. C. Gordon and then called at his residence, where IT met his accomplished Mad. ame, He is doing a large business here now. SPT_BACKS IN BUSINESS. He told of his set-backs in busi- ness, He has the finest funeral ear in St. Louis. It is a Packard and the cost was about sixty-seven hun. dred dollars, Mr. Gordon has. also invested in real estate. I called at the office of the Grand Chancollor of Missouri and found him prospering and the work prospering. The Order made no mistake in pur chasing the property. Sir W. ‘T. Ancell the capable Grand Keeper of Records and Seal is also active there, Sir A. W. Lloyd, the Grand Chan celtor of Missouri is a remarkable character and his name is inseparabie with the Order in that State, He is popular Uiroughout that Grand Jur. isdiction and he succeeds in making friends and in holding them after they are made.
