Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. "The Children of the Sun"—A Very Remarkable Production. "The Children of the Sun" was presented to a Richmond audience at the Strand Theatre, October 29th and 30th. Owing to seating conditions, not a fifth part of the "army" of colored folks who wanted to see the play could secure admittance. To say that it was a success is to deal with the situation mildly. The management had assigned the balcony and the gallery to "The Children of the Sun" and they showed their appreciation by packing both places at every performance. The white people were assigned to the orchestra. At night they came, but during the matines, there was an aching void for which the colored folks, who could not secure admittance inside of the playhouse sighed. ADMIRABLY TRAINED There is no travelling show of colored performers that has been more admirably trained than is this aggregation of colored artists. The book of the play is by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, while George Wells Parker, Archaeologist and author of the historical story, "The Children of the Sun" assisted. All three were masters of the respective parts and as for Salem Tutt Whitney, he ranks among the stars in the world's aggregation of actors. The desert scene in which he tigned will long be remembered as the scene of the scenic art. Here he displayed his ability to render the most difficult part of this truly remarkable play. A A FINE CASTS As a humorist, he is a "trem." He was ably supported by a caste that measured firmly up to the occasion and showed that they had been "trained to the minute." The gratifying part about it was the fact that the story carried with it a historical lesson. The student of history found abundant material there, while the young and frivolous found enough amusement to keep them in good humor during the more than two hours' production of the play. The make up of Dr. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard University was a pleasing surprise and Cuney Comers was not only well acquainted with him, but had studied his movements and char acteristics. A. PECULIAR PRESIDENT. The meeting held at Howard University and the determination to travel to the Orient in an airship brought about the tender of a resignation by the President, who said he would not go and yet when the time came, he was the first man to get aboard. Japan, India, Persia, Egypt and finally Abyssinia were visited. It is needless to name the caste. Whitney is the star performer, with an aggregation of stars assisting him to increase the brilliancy of the illuminating power that emanates from him. Certain it is that at no time since the foundation of the Government has a play been produced that should be as universally patronized and praised as this one. LOCKETT—GREEN.

Last year, when Long also was his opponent, h_w won by a plurality of 17,935. The vote today swept him into office again by a margin which had reached more than 85,000 tonight, with two-thirds of the returns counted. "LAW AND ORDER" SLOGAN The "law and order" slogan of Gov. Coy, foundation based upon his stand against the striking Boston policemen brought out a heavy reserve Republican vote. The Democrats also worked hard to bring the voters to the polls, with the result that the total vote was one of the heaviest ever cast in the State. Returns from 677 election pre-empts out of 974, from 311 cities and towns out of 353, outside of Boston, gave for governor: Coolidge, 185,189; Long, 92,065. PLURALITY CET IN BOSTON In Boston, Long's plurality of nearly 20,000 last year was cut to less than half that feature today. Fred, J.

GEORGLANS TAKE SWIFT AND TERRIBLE REVENGE FOR ATTACK ON WIDOW. Man Riddled With Bullets and Body Burned by Enraged Mob. Macon, Ga., Nov. 3.—A heavily armed mob of some 400 persons carly this morning burned alive Paul Cooker, a Negro who had attacked a white woman about two miles from the outskirts of this city. The Negro's body was riddled with bullets, but he roiled over several times after the gasoline poured over him had been ignited. The woman a fifty-year-old widow was returning home from church last night when attacked. She had accompanied neighbors to their home and then struck out through the fields toward her own house. When near her home the Negro grabbed her, she states cheking her and struck her a blow on the forecheek. The woman had presence of mind enough to wipe her hand across the gash on her head and then upon the Negro's shirt, marking him with her own blood for identification. The Negro was captured shortly after midnight by the Baby Brothers in a boxcar. By this time the whole community was in arms and the sheriff and his deputies had arrived on the scene. For an hour an a half the sheriff worked upon the alibi given by the Negro but found that what Jones had said was false. Judge H. A.

This appeal for the suppression of lawlessness is not only for tho sake of justice, but for the added reasons that lynch and mob violence cause the desertion of farms and over- crowding of cities, and augments the high’ cost of living by increasing consumption and decreasing produc- tion, Moreover, mob-rulo ts an open expression ‘of utter disregard for Jaw and order, which are Me fundamental elements of all eiviliza~ tion, Patiently we havo submitted to the many acts of injustiee heaped upon us by an intolerant element of this country and stil counselling law and order and the obsorvance of forms of ood government, we say now without reservation and with firm convietion in the jpstice of our position that when it becomes a matter of self-protection a ques- fion of Tife existence the man who xloes not rise up in his own defence is not worthy of citizenship ina Re: public like these United States, \ Must Enforce Constitutional Guar: antec, If this nation desires to maintain its proud position among the nations of the world and prove that it is a democraey in deed as well as in word, it must earry out the letter and ‘the spirit of its Constitution. Any government whieh has the right to make its citizens bear arms in its defence must by the same token have the power {o protect them. A nation which proposes a democratic program for the protection of the weak and oppressed people of the world should inaugurate the same program at home. Moreover, we be- Neve it to he in the interest ‘of good government and in harmony with the spirit, whieh gave birth to this nation that every intelligent man and woman, North and South, should have the right of suffrage. To the end that living conditions will (end to redueo the abnormal death rate of colored residents. in cities, we call upon municipal authorities to provide better sani- tary surroundings for all homes and tho establishment of parks and broathing spaces in the congested sections. ——Dixerimination Condemned. The right to collective bargaining Between employee and employer should not be denied to any group of American citizens. We deplore the unjust discrimination against the colored workman by organized labor unions and by organized eapi- tal. We recommend the adoption or a uniform wage seale and identical working conditions for all work- ers of the same class. Notwithstanding the fact that no race representative was invited to sit in its councils, we view with gratif- cation the effort now being made in this city by the Conference called by the President of the United States to effect an adjustment of the labor troubles existing throughout — the country, and respeetfully recommend that adoption of similar action on all previous public questions, Tho Cause Of Migration. The migration of the colored now going on from several states is prt marily due to the lack of safety of the home and is indicative of the fact that the Negro is sensible of the economie value of his labor, ‘This movement clearly demonstrates to the South that all forms of proserip- tion, jim crow cars, segregation and lawlessness must cease, and better housing conditions, and better wages must be provided if the migration is to be cheeked. ‘The influy of a large number of now groups to the con- kested cities of the North calls. for the active co-operation of all con- cerned so that, as soon as possible, the neweomers may be asimilated to their now enviornment We advocate obedience to law; strict morality; temperate habits’ the practice of thrift and economy; the acquisition of education and property and counsel our — people everywhere to take advantage of all educational — opportunities offered them. We call upon the State Authorities to make equal and ade- quate appropriations — for sehoo! buildings, salaries for teachers. and provido for a minimum schopl term of six months. ‘That Great’ Memorial. We enll especial attention to the National Race Congress’ Memorial to the Congress of the United States and to the “Bourteon Articles. set- ting forth that the American Negro expects after helping to win the War for Democracy. We invite our people and our friends everywhere (o join the Na- tional Race Congress in its campaign of service to our country.

Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute defeated Shaw University football team here today in a game that was well played and hard fought throughout. The final score was—V. N. and I. L., 9—Shaw University 0. The Shaw team was aggressive and showed a thorough knowledge of the game. Morrow at quarter did well. He was replaced by Stanley in the third quarter. Stanley showed considerable ability in handling the team. Crump at left tackle and Lyle at left end for Shaw did great defensive work and gave our line some trouble. Shaw was weak on the offensive and made first down only. This came in the third quarter. The V. N. and I. L., team has im proved greatly since the Norfolk game. The whole team played well. Those deserving special mention are Jackson, Lee, Melvin, Nichols and Coates. Jackson at quarter handled the team with skill and showed good judgment at critical times. He punched well. The average kick being about forty yards. He featured also in running back punts, making runs of twenty, thirty and forty yards. Lee and Melvin tore through the Shaw line almost at will and often broke up the Shaw plays before they were well under way. Nichols and Coates did fine defensive work. Their tackling was hard and sure. The first score came in the latter part of the second quarter. After con siderable line plunging there was an exchange of punts. Jackson fumbied but the ball was recovered by Young. Nichols was then sent around right end. With good interference and by clever running he went twenty yards for a touchdown. Jackson kicked goal. During the second half Shaw was continually on the defensive. The ball was kept in her territory. V N. and I. L., were marching steadily to ward the goal but when within three yards of the goal they lost the ball on a fumble. Shaw was unable to get the ball out of the danger zone and a safety was made when a Shaw man was tackled back of his goal line. Score—V. N. and I. L., 9—Shaw 0. The game ended with V. N. and I. L. within striking distance of the goal and Shaw fighting hard to prevent another touchdown. THE GAME BY PLAYS Shaw won the toss and kicked to V. N. and I. L., 20 yard line. Morry received the ball and returned it four yards. After a small gain through the line Shaw punted. Jackson fumbled and Shaw recovered the ball on their own forty yard line. Failing to gain through the line Shaw punted again. Jackson returned if fifteen yards. A gain of five yards was made through the line. Shaw was penalized five yards for being off-side. Jack Read The Richmond Planet son punted. Shaw gained three yards in two attempts through the line, then punted. Jackson ran the ball back thirty yards. Then followed a series of punts in which Jackson had the better of the contest. It was at this time that Jackson made a run of forty yards after receiving a punt. This ended the first quarter. Second Quarter—Shaw punted. V. N. and I. L., failed to make first down in two trials and Jackson punted. A successful forward pass gave Shaw a gain of fifteen yards. Nichols intercepted a forward pass. Shaw held V. N. and I. L., for downs. Failing to gain, Shaw punted. There was another exchange of punts. Jackson fumbled but Young recovered the ball. On the next play Nichols went around right end for twenty yards and a touchdown. Jack son kicked goal. Third Quarter—V. N. and I. I. kicked to Shaw. Having failed in three at tempts shaw punted. Nichols gained fifteen yards, then Jackson punted. Shaw punted. After two attempts to gain, Jackson puned to Shaw's ten yard line. Stanley then went in at quarter for Shaw. Shaw kicked to get the ball out of danger. On the next play Tyler gained fifteen yards for V. N. and I. I., but lost the ball when tackled. Shaw now took a brace and made first down for the first and only time during the game. The next three attempts however netted them only three yards. The quarter ends. Fourth Quarter—Thrift goes in at left guard for Ferrell. Shaw kicked and Jackson returned it by a good run. He then punted to Shaw's thirty yard line. Here Tyler did some good defensive work for V. N. and I. I, Shaw was held for downs. Coates received a forward pass for a gain of fifteen yards. Shaw was penalized for being off-side. V. N. and I. I, steadily forced the ball toward the goal but when within three yards of the goal they lost the ball on a fumble. Shaw was unable to get the ball out of danger and a safety was made when a Shaw man was tackled behind the goal. Ferby was sent in to replace Coates. Shaw was given the ball on her twenty yard line but the V. N. & I. I, defense was too strong for her. The game ended with the ball on Shaw's twenty five yard line. Score—V. N. and I. I. 9, —Shaw 0 V.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA LEGISLATION AND GRAVITATION. (By Dr. Frank Smith.) Resolved, that a commission of five $b_{\mathrm{e}}$ appointed to find the cause and cure of High Prices. This resolution which was sanctioned by the house of Delegates of Virginia, has stirred within me such a storm of thought that it calls for the exercises $q_{\mathrm{o}}$ of the whole gamut of human emotions. So pleased am I by its adoption by the House of Delegates that I am constrained to offer a second and third resolution of a kindred nature, for the consideration of the public, and the enlightenment of posterity. Resolved, second, that the same commission be given authority to summan experts and to find out in any other way that they may see proper, why it takes more yards of cloth to make a coat when $b_{\mathrm{e}}$ legal yard is eighteen inches in length, than it does when the legal yard is thirty-six inches. Resolvel, third, that this commission search out the reason why prices rise when there is an efficient and large demand, and why prices are lower when there is a small and an inefficient demand. Now these resolutions, I believe, are all right and cover a large part of the field of political economy; but there is just one small lion in the way, namely. If the members of the legislature in all of the years of their past have failed in solving the profound problems wrapped up in these resolutions, is it likely that a small number of the same legislature will solve the problem in a few months? I do not desir_e to offend or to discourage any one. I am a believer in miracles, not however the hoary miracles of a dead past, but in the new and shining miracles of a living present. The man of God prayed that the members of the legislature might be endowed with wisdom from on high, and the answer to that prayer was an intangible tax scheme unworthy of the name of system, as antiquated as a wooden plow and as useless to promote justice and to provoke prosperity as the wooden plow to tear the virgin_i sod. Men of this heavenly brand and grade of mentality should be exempt by law from legislative service of this sort, just as the law exempts from jury service the immature in body and mind. Members of a legislative body who are ignorant of the natural laws which have to do with political economy, to say nothing of biology, and have to depend upon a chance lot of sanctified knowledge and winged wisdom from on high are about as congruous and useful in said body, as a lot of ditch diggers would be sitting with a commission of architects to plan a temple to house a tribune of a people. The why of a little child is the golden key which fits, but will not unlock the stupendous door to the sacred and silent templ of wisdom. Common sense, that rare human weed which blossoms in the obscure shade of the pale rose of poverty, sends forth a volatile oil which bu- bricates the golden key of the little child and the stupendous door to the temple of wisdom is thrown wide open and up far into the sky, and the matched prince of common sense sees engraved in gleaning gold upon the white walls of truth's holy temple, poverty in a world of plenty is worse than any crime, it is a binder. I have not known of very many very rich men or women passing res' solutions about the high cost of living or the high cost of high living. The greatest entomologist with whom I am acquainted (Fabre) announced to the public that a certain insect mother determined the sex of her progeny, and when some one asked him why and how, he replied, "I search for and sometimes find the truth. I do not explain it. My little four-year-old darling asked me why a mahogany waited until night to sing and sting, when it was so hot we could not use cover. I answered her as well as I was able from my knowledge of the insect, (and I am so familiar with the creature that I sometimes sleep with her); but that same day we put in screens. Before we try to find the why of a fact, let us first try to find out if we have the fact. I sincerely wish that commodities had a higher value measured in hand to day than they had years ago, for if this miracle could happen (and it could if we had scientific instead of winged wisdom in our legislature) my daily wage, which is the commodity which I daily produce, be it bacon or bricks, would soon buy me a piece of ground, and another homeless wretch would soon come in from out of the fog and the dew and begin the real work of life to be, and to know Commodities measured not by gold but by labor or other commodities, are no higher today than they were years ago, but the yard stick with which their value is measured, is shorter, the inch the be the same. Gold, our measure of value in this western hemisphere has had in the past four hundred years a length varying from fifty inches to twenty-five hundred inches, measured by other commodities. The producer of potatoes expands no more energy and capital in producing a measure of potatoes today than he did years ago and when he sells the potatoes, measured in value by the elusive and unstable gold it buys him just precisely as much of another commodity as it did in the years that have fled. Last June I fell into the turbid waters of the mighty "Jeems River" and ever since I have been wondering and resoluting about why I got wet. There is a thing not a commodity, however, but from which all com modities spring, which is absolutely necessary not only for the well being but the very life of every creature which breathes, which has advanced in price by leaps and bounds whether measured in value by gold or other goods, who's high price first plunged us into self-inflicted poverty from which there was no escape save to enter into a world war, and which is now drawing us swiftly and surely into anarchy (or bolshovism) and national death, and not a man in Virginia save the patched prophet of common sense, raises his voice in protest, or prayer of repentance for national stupidity, or resolutes about its cause and cure. There is no cure for the high price of land and lard, but one cause of both may be changed from a curse into a blessing. There is nothing good or evil in itself, but good or bad is only in its use. What is potent for evil is potent also for good. Taxation terrible and brutalizing in effects when wielded by the tyrannical hand of nesscience, becomes when wielded by science the most potent weapon for the destruction of poverty and her hell-born retinue, raising the state from ignorance and war to the sunlit heights of peace and power. I am often ashamed of and embarrassed by mine own ignorance, but when I contemplate a joy of throwing a fit over the monopoly of lemons and lard and is blind to the monopoly of land, $ \mathrm{th}_{0} $ source alike of lemons and lard and limited in quantity and incapable of extension; I too throw a fit because I belong to the same genus, the not of the same species. If we had to eat land as we oat land and lemons the whole gang would run to me and I could reach their brain thru the belly. It takes no more potatoes to purchase a suit of clothes today than it did fifty years ago, perhaps less, but it takes five times as much poultry or potatoes to get a piece of ground upon which to produce commodities or to build a house in which to bring forth and rear your young. The wild ass is better off, but neither he nor the other ass ever thought of that. The wild ass can be, and is now being educated and when he is worked too much and fed too little, he kicks and lies down on the job. Every animal upon the earth can be educated except man. Our educational institutions turn out their students well educated for private business and only half educated for public business. Indeed, their education itself unfits them for the work of the State except the work of drawing the salary and administering its unscientific laws. For twenty thousand years man has plowed his weary way thru blood and tears and has not yet learned A of the alphabet of political science and knows less than A of the science of health. When any one tries to inject poison into the veins of the educated ass he kicks, the man stands still and pays the bill. What may we expect to get from a poisoned body except a distorted brain? For one hundred and twenty years the college doors stood open seven days in the week, while its president, God Almighty, tried his utmost to beat into the thick skulls of on₀ single crop of men a few simple lines of political economy and after a dismal failure He drowned the whole gang. He will not have to drown any more, for the crop of men₀ has failed and the sissys are in the saddle. At a mass meeting of the ladies for the purpose of reducing the cost of high living by boycotting the brain producing egg, I attempted to tell the crowd something about the law of supply and demand and when I was ordered to sit down, eggs went up. WAGES Is the laborer worthy of his hire? Yes, when the pay of a preacher or teacher is raised, therefore, no. Prof. Thorold Roogers says that in the thirteenth century the common laborer got a better living than the common laborer in the nineteenth century. Productive power has increased two hundred fold since the thirteenth century and when a student in our public schools asks his teachers why our laws forbid this power to be used for the benefit of its citizenry, they are unable to answer, the their salary has been raised. If the daily labor of a ditch digger fails to produce all of the best clothes he and his family can use, all of the best food that it takes to maintain their health, a home from which no law can thrust him forth and the means to try to educate his children to the limit of their capacity in the best schools, not only of his State, but of the United States, then there is no such thing as civilization for somehow, somewhere he is robbed, and if he does not like it, and will not put an end to this robber, taxation, let him lock his door, throw away the key and flee from this cruel hell of protense and prayer, to that other hell over the hills and far away from this vale of tears and poverty, where coal is cheap and lodging free. THE REMEDY FOR UNREST The one sovereign remedy for unrest, poverty, ignorance, vice, crime and its crowning horror, war, is The One Single Tax upon land values. To tax for the use of society that value which society alone can and does create, is the crown of justice and science in political economy and will give us a scientific system of taxation instead of the intangible scheme thrust upon the state by nescence. But man, the divine creature, born of the heat and moisture of the Universe, God's Body, will have to wade thru another thousand years of blood and tears before they are enabled to perceive and to love the glorious beauty and wonderful symmetry of this simple remedy. Having eyes they see not that this simple remedy is a golden chain flung at the feet of a perishing world to tie the foul hand of sin. A mighty club of righteousness worn on the breast of the cohorts of Heaven and laid away to rest in the armories of earth, which is long enough and strong enough to smash the hydrahead of the slimy snake of war. "They are blind to the heights beyond Deaf to the sounds of sweet airs breathed From far past Indra's sky; Dumb to the summons, of the true THRE life kept. For him who false puts by." For while they are busy tearing each other to tatters in party war, the political partisan monkey grab the bone of contention, their toil, worn hide and souses it into the bitter biting acid of a poverty producing scheme of taxation which tams and keeps it the color of poverty; washes it in the sweat of his brown (wrinkled not with the vertical lines of thought but with the horizontal lines of care) and the tears of his children enslaved in factory, dries it with the hot air of good times coming amidst universal and eternal peace, and then having no present use for his thick head it is sold for a dollar and a half poll tax and deposited in the party primary junk shop until the next political Punch and Judy show, when it is given away as a souvenir to the candidate who calls him a brainy patriot. The thin hide is folded for a saddle pad and while he rides their backs and kicks their ribs to stimulate $ \mathbf{t}_{0} $ their patriotic party dog trot, he sings, "Old Virginia never tires" and the pale rose of poverty never blooms so sweet as in old Virginia where in luxuriance it blossoms and breathes its mephitic odors over nine millions of acres of idle vacant lands, while its pale, poisonous leaves, of low wages, ignorance, vice, crime and war lies a seething mass and mess at the feet of the nemesis of Justice who never slumbers nor sleeps. Ye are punished by, not for your sin or stupidity. There are many wrong roads which stretch away towards the city of refuge from poverty and her hell-born progeny, but only one right and royal highway. The Single Tax, which leads thru its shining portal wherein reign peace, plenty, purity and power and the way is so plain that a way-faring man tho a fool need not mis-take. But you will not take this right road because you are obliged by your nature to try all of the wrong ways first. This is the inexorable law which none can stay or stem that binds you to the low level of empiracism. Man can not reason. And what little wisdom he now owns, had to be pounded thru his thick hide into his thicker head. Virginia's puny poor and powerful rich in political alliance is as inongnous as a jewel of gold in the snout of a sow, for the two rotten political parties will never oppose, while they can hope to bribe with place and power, the tyranny, whether of taxes or tyrants. "Go to the ant thou sluggard man; consider her ways and be wise." What a heaven this earth could be if the human family had as much sense as a family of bees.

We thought of these things when we read of present day conditions and the former attitude of the white people or a large proportion of them in dealing with the colored people of this country, whom they denominated as Negroes, rather than apply to them their natural inherited title of American citizens. In dealing with colored people, promises were made to the ear to be broken to the hope. Deceptions were practiced upon them both by the Government and its agents. Various expedients were resorted to in order to deceive them and ridiculous decisions were handed down from august tribunals in order to void the main issues. As a result constitutional guar antees to American citizens of color became worthless and all attempts to secure decisions in accordance with the plain mandates of the law proved abortive. But another day has dawned. The dental of fundamental rights to citizens of color has led to the denial of constitutional privileges to white citizens. The Washington Post in its issue of the 30th prox. has this to say concerning the situation: Congress enacted war-time prohibition as a war measure under the pretext of conserving the food supply of the nation and protecting its man power. After hostilities had ceased and there no longer existed the shadow of an excuse for continuing prohibition as a war measure Congress refused to heed the advice of President Wilson to modify the law in such a manner that he could lift the ban until constitutional prohibition became effective in January. Instead Congress proceeded to pass the enforcement bill which provides for making effective not only wartime prohibition, but also constitutional prohibition and when the President vetoed it Congress passed it over his veto promptly and by an impressive majority. From this succession of events the country is given convincing proof that Congress is devoted to the prohibition cause. This is an open charge that the Congress, consisting of both Democrats and Republicans has been guilty of double dealing, of professing one thing and doing another. It continues: Whatever may be the motive back of this, the fact stands that the sixty-sixth Congress is overwhelmingly dry—in its policy if not in its practice. That there are senators and representatives with well-stocked cellars and with a keen appreciation for alcoholic beverages, who lost no opportunity to vote dry, there can be no doubt. In their own defense they will plead that in so doing they are registering the sentiment of their respective States and not their individual beliefs. But whatever the animal forces and however weak may be the foundations upon which they res the facts stand out with unmistakable sharpness. Here is a charge that the "dramsters" in the Congress are posing as Prohibitionists before the public. It is to be presumed that the editor of the Washington Post knows what he is talking about when he says that there are senators and representatives who have well-stocked collars and that they have a keen appreciation for alcoholic beverages. Certainly if the editor of the Post has been a favored visitor to any of these wine cellars in the past, he will be barred out forever now. The pity of this spectacle is not in the enforcement of prohibition, for which very strong economic and moral arguments are advanced, but in the false pretense which envelops the movement. However much prohit championms may resent the me goitation, it is invovortheless the fact war-time prohibition was passed under the pretense that during the war it was necessary to conserve the food supply of the nation and to protect the army and navy as well as the industrial work ers from the possible ill effects of alcohol beverages. One hundred percent efficiency was aimed at and to attain it Congress banished the liquor traffic temporarily. The Washington Post is right when it says that it is the false pretense involved in the question that merits condemnation. This false pretense may be seen practically every where and almost in every thing. When hostilities ended, the excuse for this law as a war measure ceased. It should then have been dispensed with, and if Congress desired to impose prohibition as a moral or economic measure a law to that purpose should have been framed. As well utilize the railroad control act to impose government ownership up on the country as to resort to wartime prohibition, enacted for a specifie purpose, to make the country permanently dry. There are 60,000,000 to 75,000,000 gallons of whisky in the bonded ware houses of this country, which cannot be disposed of unless the ban is lifted. This property is in danger of confiscation. If there is no opportunity to place it upon the market, its owners will sustain heavy losses and the government will lose $400,000,000 to $500,000,000 of revenue. This whole business has been handled without proper consideration for the rights of citizens. It affords a striking example of an attempt to effect a moral reform through the medium of politics. This Government violated the rights of its black citizens before the war, it is taking away the rights and privileges of its white citizens after the war. The Washington Post is just as right in its contentions as have been the colored leaders in their contentions for equal rights and privileges before the war. The day is breaking. The hour is at hand, when the securing of the rights of white men under the constitution and the laws will lead to the according to the black men all of their rights and privileges under the Constitution of the United States.

It discusses the situation under the caption, "Did the President Blunder?" We had thought of the same thing and felt that either he or his advisors had placed themselves in a most embarrassing predictment in the handling of the liquor and the labor question. The Times-Dispatch says: In his communication to the United Mine Workers of America, demanding that the threatened coal strike be abandoned, President Wilson declared that the strike order was not only unjustifiable but was "unlawful." It was unlawful because the miners were bound by an agreement with the government itself to work under the present wage scale until the war should end, or until April 1, 1920. Did President Wilson say that their action was unlawful because the miners were bound by an agreement with the government itself to work under the present wage scale until the war should end or until April 1, 1920? We hardly think so. He said it was unlawful because of the Act of Congress of August 10, 1917, which act was amended by the Congress October 22, 1919. This act was placed upon the statute books for the reason of the existence of a state of war and owing to the fact that it was essential to the national security and defence, for the successful prosecution of the war and for the support and maintenance of the army and navy. It was further argued that it was enacted for an adequate supply and equitable distribution to facilitate the movement of feeds, fuel, including fuel oil and natural gas and fertilizer ingredients tools, utensils, implements, machinery and equipment required for the actual production of foods, feeds and fuel hereafter called accessories. This act provided: "That it shall be unlawful for any person to enquire, combine, agree or arrange with any other person to limit facilities for transporting, pro THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ducing, harvesting, manufacturing, supplying, storing, or dealing in any necessities; to restrict the supply of any necessaries; to restrict distribution of any necessaries etc." This is alleged to have made the action of the United Mine Workers in agreeing to limit and discontinue the supply of bituminous coal unlawful and punishable under these laws. No one is asking whether this act of Congress was or is constitutional. The constitution of the United States by some unknown and unexplained process becomes active and in active at the behest of the Department of (in) Justice. It was used to injure the Negroes years ago; it is utilized to put out of business the laboring elements today. But there is another provision in this law. It reads: "That the provisions of this act shall cease to be in effect when the existing state of war between the United States and Germany shall have terminated, and the fact and date of such termination shall be as-certained by the President." In vetoing the acts of the Congress providing for the enforcement of War Prohibition and the Prohibition Amendment, President Wilson declared that the purposes for which the emergency measures were enacted had ceased. A state of war no longer existed. The Department of (in) Justice is therefore proceeding under a congressional enactment that as a matter of fact rather than as a matter of technicality is no longer in force and effect. If the ban upon liquor should be lifted because of the cessation of war conditions then the ban upon labor should be lifted for the same reason. But what is the use of applying the rules of logic to existing conditions today. These rules are not being observed by the Government itself, why should they be carried into effect by the individual. The Richmond Times-Dispatch says: In his message vetoking the prohibition enforcement bill, the President declared that the part of the measure are making more rigid what is known as war-time prohibition should not have been enacted for the reason that the emergency which seemed to make war-time prohibition necessary had passed and instead of becoming more drastic, the temporary prohibition should be repealed entirely Immediately after the veto message was made public the miners seized up on it as a justification of the position which they had taken to the effect that the war actually was over, that the emergency of the war had passed, and that the contract which they were accrued by the President himself of having violated had been vitiated. It must be confessed that there appears a measure of inconsistency in the two executive utterances. Technically, of course, the war is not over and will not be until peace has been proclaimed. The miners know this as surely as do any other body of people. But if the war is still in progress to the extent that coal miners should work under a wartime agreement, it would seem to be in progress enough to make war-time prohibition desirable. This then is an outright charge that President Wilson blundered. This ably edited journal concludes as follows: That the President did not in reality contradict himself in his veto message may be indicated, however, by the fact that he has not lifted the war-time prohibition ban as he is authorized to do as soon as peace has come. He has merely stated that Congress might properly repeal that law since the demobilization of the army has been accomplished, and there is now no longer any necessity from a military or naval standpoint for prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors. We are living in an age of deception and misrepresentation, when the people will not stand sound doctrine. Nearly all of four leading men, both white and colored are weather-vanes watching the way the popular wind blows and adjustings their views an their principles to the prevailing sentiment that seems to be most popular in their respective communities. Fundamental principles, based upon Holy Writ or upon the Constitution of the United States receive scant courtesy amongst this babel of voices. Still there are great champions of Right in the Senatorial arena and upon the hustings. Many of them have been silenced by this war legislation throttling free speech but after all is said and done, the reaction will set in and the American people will awaken in time to drive out the demagogues and deceivers from high places. Selah. ```markdown ``` The telegraphic reports from Knoxville under date of the 3rd inst., state that Judge Nelson of the Criminal Court, who presided during the trial of the white riots, who precipitated the race riots last August was outspoken in condemnation of the jurymen, who contrary to law and evidence acquitted fourteen of the guilty men and entered mistrials in the cases of five others. So disgusted was this fearless jurist that he had each one of the names of the jurymen entered upon the record barring them from service in that court as long as he is presiding officer. He concluded with the ringing declaration: "The verdict of the jury in said cases was wholly unwarranted by the facts." There are many able men in the Southland of the type of this distinguished resident of Tennessee. Colored people are low-spirited sometimes but they feel exasilated and encouraged when they observe that during this long night of oppression and abuse, that champions of right and justice are still in control in some portions of the Southland and that they do not hesitate to speak out their opinion at the proper time. --- While white rioters were being released in Tennessee, colored rioters were being convicted and given the death penalty in Arkansas. Six colored men have been found guilty of first degree murder and are to be electrocuted. The pitiful part about the whole affair seems to be that the colored men had no counsel except that appointed by the court. No wifes were introduced in their behalf and their lives can be saved only by the intervention by the Governor of that State. So far as we have been able to observe they might as well have thrown themselves upon the mercy of the court and asked to be electrocuted instead of being burned at the stake. Race prejudice is so rampant now that justice is a misnomer in many sections of this country. When colored men are herded together and tried as these men seemed to have been, death beforehand is about as good as death afterwards. White men were at the bottom of the whole affair. They organized the farmers that section and when trouble came, these colored men were left "with the bag to hold." Death is but death and t) die for one's rights is about as good as living without them. Mr. J. W. Kawlings contributes a timely communication to the Detroit Journal of the 21st ult., as to what causes mob violence. He concludes that America owes the American Negro much. We agree with him and some portions of this same America is paying him in ostracism, blood-shed unjust convictions in the courts of law and by a propaganda of misrepresentation unsurpassed in the history of the world. The able and efficient head-letter writer of the Richmond Times-Dispatch would find himself in much better favor if he would discontinue the practice of speaking of colored females as "negresses." The reporters are kind enough to use the gentler and more satisfactory designation "colored," but this other specification seems to meet with special favor among the "higher-ups." The colored folks of Richmond do not like it. The Government is still engaged in the task of regulating prices, when it is a well known fact that they can not be properly regulated save by the laws of supply and demand. Any product that is plentiful is cheap and any articles that is scarce is high. --- Colored folks, continue to be polite and obliging to white folks and to colored ones. True politeness will always pay well and bring to you and your children many favors. --- Some people are so insulting that they cannot look at themselves in the mirror without saying something insulting. Sugar is said to be scarce over here and plentiful over yonder. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Rio Vista, Va., October 30, 1919 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Worthy Counselor of Grand Court of Va., Order of Calanthe, ($150.00) One Hundred and Fifty Dollars in payment of the death claim of sister Kittle Brooks who was a member of Ziontown Court, No. 178 of Rio Vista Va.

RINGLEADERS ORDERED MARCH Convicted Men Were Ringleaders, and Ordered March to Hoop Spur., Where Trouble Occurred. Heiena, Ark., Nov. 3.—Trial or cases growing out of the recent race disturbances near Elaine, in the south eastern part of this country which resulted in the bringing of indictments against 122 persons, mostly Negroes proceeded rapidly today in Phillips County Circuit Court Juries returning verdicts of guilty of first degree murder in two cases thereby causing six Negroes to be sentenced to death by electrocution. Evidence brought out by the prox ection in the two cases heard today showed the existence of a post of the "Progressive Farmers' and Household Union of America," the organization under which it is alleged the Negroes were banded for the uprising at Elaine, near where the disturbances took place the first week in October resulting in the death of five white persons and a larger number of Negroes and the wounding of others. ORDERED TO BRING ARMS Several witnesses for the State re-lated how they joined the Elaine post within ten days before the disturb- began and were told to bring arms to meetings because the union "expected trouble if the whites tried to break up its meeting." That the union had a large follow- ing in the Elaine neighborhood was brought out in the testimony of George Green, a Negro appearing for the State in the case of Frank Hicks, charged with the killing of Clinton Lee. Green said he attended the meet- ing of the union in a church the night of September 30 and saw there "over a hundred head," who he testified, all carried guns. FIEE ON AUTOMOBILE It was when an automobile in which a small sheriff's pose was going to arrest a white man in the Elain neighborhood was stopped for repairs before a Negro church, according to a statement issued by the "committee of seven," authorized by Governor Charles Brough, city and county authorities to investigate the trouble that the disorders started, the Negroes in the building firing on the party, killing one white man and wounding another. The first case called today was that of Franw Hicks. Several witnesses for the State testified they saw Hicks fire the shots the morning of October 1, that resulted in the death of Clinton Lee of this city a former sol Dier who was a member of one of the posses sent to the section following receipt of news of the attack on two sheriff's posse the previous night. NO WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE The defense announced it had no witnesses and the State rested its case, the court adjourning until afternoon as a mark of respect for Judge P. C. Thwent, oldest member of the local bar, whose son was buried here today. When court was reconvened argument was waived and Judge J. M. Jackson instructed the jury, which after eight minutes deliberation returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The second case called named as defendants Frank Moore, Ed. Hicks, J. E. Knox, Paul Hall and Ed. Coleman all Negroes charged jointly with the murder of Clinton Lee. In this case the prosecution attempted to prove the five Negroes were leaders of the Elaine "squad." LEADERS ORDER MARCH. Witnessess for the State repeatedly testified that Moore, Knox and Hicks acted as leaders giving orders the morning of October 1 when the Negroes gathered near Moore"s house and forming a column of twos marched toward Hoop Spur, where they had heard shots. John Jefferson, Negro testified Hicks was president of the Elaine post of the Union and Knox vice-president. He also said that Knox who brought up the rear of the column said he would shoot any deserters. Witnesses also testified to the presence of Hall and Coleman in the squad that morning. FORCE NEGROES TO ARM. Dave Archer, a Negro who said he did not belong to the union testified the members attempted to capture nonmembers the morning of the dis turbance arm them and compel them to join their ranks. He said he had been captured and armed, but had escaped. During the testimony the name of Robert L. Hill, Negro, alleged organiser of the union, frequently was men lined. According to the testimony of Green In Frank Hick's trial, Hill told the members of the union at a meeting the Thursday before the disturbance that they "might have trouble and to stand their ground. VERDICT IN SEVEN MINUTES. Arguments for a verdict of second degree murder were presented to the jury by Greenfield Quarles of Helena appointed by the court as counsel, to defend the five Negroes charged jointly with the murder of Lee. John E. Miller, prosecuting attorney, closed for the State and seven minutes after the case was given to the jury a verdict of guilty of first-degree murder was returned against Moore, Ed. Hicks, Knox, Hall and Coleman. Only moderate interest is displayed in the trials here, the courtroom being only partly filled by spectators today. The first case to be called tomorrow is that of Alf Banks, Jr., charged with the murder of James Tappan. IDLEWILD NOTES Col. A. E.

Hampton, Va., October—Hampton Institute opened its inter-collegiate football season by defeating St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va., by a score of 25 to 0. The game was played on a wet field, which slowed it up considerably. In the first half Hampton scored three touchdowns but during the second half the visitors played a much stronger defensive game, holding Hampton to one touchdown only. At no time did the visitors get near Hampton's goal line. Both teams tried forward passing. Two of Hampton's touchdowns resulted from forward passes. The Hampton football aggregation this season is without the services of many of its former stars, who did not return to school. The team is composed almost entirely of new players. The real test of strength with a college team will come on Saturday, November 1, when Hampton and Lincoln meet. Under the coaching of Fritz Pollard, Lincoln is after capturing the inter-collegiate championship. The Hampton players are equally determined to live up to the traditions of the past. Hampton's football schedule, as announced by Charles H. Williams, physical director, who has returned to Hampton after some very interesting and important war service, follows: Lincoln at Hampton, November 1; Petersburg at Hampton, November 8; Howard at Hampton November 15; and Hampton at Union, Thanksgiving Day. HAMPTON -ST. PAUL: Some details of the Hampton-St. Paul game, furnished by Calvin Jordan, follows: "St. Paul received the ball but was unable to advance. Hampton made a touchdown in the first seven minutes of play. The feat ure of the game was a long forward pass caught by Long, which noted a gain of forty-five yards for a touchdown. Hampton made three touchdowns at will. The St. Paul eleven put up a very good offensive in the latter part of the game and accepted their loss with good spirit." St. Paul—0. Hampton, —25. Baylor R.

TO YOUR KNEES The Knee Way is the Shortest and Surest Way Out. DON'T STOP PRAYING. God Alone Can Save America. Following the discussion of the report of the Committee on the State of the Country, the Woman's Convention Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention assembled in its 15th Annual session, Newark, New Jersey September 10th authorized the Executive Board to issue: Reports from delegates from 42 states showed that mob violence, lynching, injustice and race hatred have become a national malady for which there must be a national remedy. The Executive Committee proposes, First, to join other agencies that are seriously engaged in the work of educating the American people—black and white—as to the eminent danger and certain death of American institutions unless the present ruling of race hatred is checked and subsided. The Commission proposes to precede the Campaign of Publicity and Enlightenment with Ten Days of Prayer beginning Nov. 20th and ending November 30th. November 25th has been set apart as a Day of a Day of Fasting and Prayer. November 30th, at Twelve o'clock, Noon, National Prayer Hour. Every pastor is asked to stop in the midst of his services and lead his congregation in a special prayer. First—For this nation until "Right coussiness shall go forth as brightness USE Reginall Cocoa Balm America's Greatest Hair Grower Ladies, Make Your Hair Long and Beautiful!

Second—For the chief executive to the end that he shall have courage enough to enforce the constitution of the United States which promises justice, protection and the pursuit of happiness to all citizens. Third—For the white ministry that they shall "Lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins." Fourth—For the press that it shall mold healthy public sentiment in favor of justice and protection. Fifth—For every member of the race to live up to the requirements of an American citizen. Sixth—For the thousands of Christian savages in America who are engaged in the business of roasting human beings alive or goading them to desperation by barbarities and injustices. The people are hereby called upon to attend some church of worship on the 30th of November (Fifth Sunday) so that there shall be an up-going of petitions to Almighty During the ten days preceding the 30th, we hereby call upon the heads of homes, and all who are interested to read one chapter from the book of Esther each day. The lesson should be read at a time when the largest number of persons of the household can be present. This should be followed by prayer for the objects here in before set forth. During the war, the whole action was called upon to pause each day, for a minute or two and offer prayer for victory for the allies. In shops factories, on the streets—everywhere—people stopped and breathed a prayer. We hereby call upon all Americans to join us in a moment's prayer at noon each day beginning November 20th and ending November 30th. Then don't stop praying until we get the "Safety" for which we fought WHY WE MUST PRAY First.—Because we too have sinned and as a result we 'have no power to stand before your enemies." Second.—Because God will fulfill His promise (Lev. 26:40-42) if we walk uprightly. Third.—Because men's muscles must be changed on this race situation and God alone can do it. Neither education, property, bullets nor ballots can stay the hand of the fiends whose deeds are destined to make of America one vast, inveterate, unmitigated Aceldama. God can and will do it if we pray and live up to His requirements. Fourth—Because the cries of victims writhing in agony as they are roosted alive are inadequate to shack the vengeance of Christian savages. Fifth—Because the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are as much a scrap of paper as Germany's Inter national Treaty was and the nation is too busy hunting for the moats that are in the eyes of other nations and races to consider the beam that is in her own eye. Sixth—Because the Jim Crow law and other forms of sergregation are an abomination to God in that they are antagonistic to the principles of brotherhood and breeders of strife and hatred. They propagate Anglo-Saxon assumption of inate race superiority. Seventh—Because this nation has instituted a world wide propaganda to teach race hatred to other white races. Eight—Because the cowardly silence of the pulpit is contrary to the command of God who ordered the watchman on the wall to "cry loud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and shew my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sns." Ninth—Because, as a race group, we have shinned. It is true that the white Americans are the aggressors and before Our Father must bear the brunt of the responsibility, but we have Ceased to Pray. Our family altars have disappeared. We have Gone After The Gods of Our Persecutors and are as devout in our worship of them as those who despitefully use us. We are Learning To Hate, God dealt generously with us when he dispensed to the races of martind the spirit of Kindness and Forgiveness. We are losing that rich heritage Let Us Pray. Tenth—Because, as sure as there is a God unless this nation turns from the error of her way, it is going to be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for her wher God gets ready to pour His wrath up on her. Eleventh—Because, if the present program is carried out, America might gain the whole world (Supremacy) and lose herself. Twelfth—Because God is not mocked. We are sowing hatred, inhumanity, brutality. We are sowing these abundantly and we shall reap abun dantly. The most direct way out of the present situation is by way of the throne of God. Let Us Pray and Don't Stop Praying until the waters roll back and return and cover "the chariots and the horsemen and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after us. Pray until there shall not THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA remain "so much as one of them." (Exodus 14:28.) God is not dead. Talk to Him. Get orders from Him and move forward under the Shekimah. Don't stop praying until America undergoes a permanent change of heart—Pray until "Righteousness shall go forth as brightness and justice as a lamp that burneth." Let Us Pray.
