VOLUME XXXVII, NUMBER 1. AN APPEAL FOR PANTRY DAY AT VIRGINIA SEMINARY AND COLLEGE. November 21st is the time set for "The Pantry Supply Days" at the Institution. We are asking every pastor, church and friend of the school to give at least something on the day se and enchance by the Virginia Baptist State Convention. We are this time adding a new feature to the project, and it is this, to ask all to help in giving our returned soldiers a special Thanksgiving Dinner together with the student body and faculty. We think this should especially arouse all to acts of benevolence and a spirit of gratitude seeing that it is the eye of the first anniversary of the signing of the famous armis ice and our boys as well as ourselves were so jubilant. And many of them are back in their old places, at the fireside. Therefore let us unite and give them this dinner. This is one way we may show our boys we are glad they are back with us after fighting our battle for us. We have a large student body and it will take an extra supply of food to feed five hundred and more. Mrs. C. E. Jones our efficient Chair man of the Board is doing everything possible to have success on the 21st of November. Please give us on that day, beans, cabbage, peas, rice, canned fruit; meat, hard, turkey; chickens, rabbits fish; butter; sugar; coffee; tea, flour meal; money and anything that will help in giving a real good dinner on Thanksgiving. Whatever may he given will be reaped at the Virginia Baptist State Convention in May, and Woman's State Convention in June. Report the names of pastors, and churches with the offering. Send all offerings to Virginia Theological Seminary and College in care of Mrs. L. W. Tyrrell. Thanking all in advance, I am sincerely yours in advance of the work, MRS. L. W. TYRRELL, President of Women's State Convention of Virginia. MRS. C. E. JONES, Chairman, The Executive Board, 741 20th Street Newport News, Va. --- A CURE FOR LAWLESSNESS AND UNREST. Baltimore, Md. The (Manufacturers' Record in a recent editorial, said that the world's deepest need is more religion. This great trade journal saw no relief from the evils which threaten America, and the whole world-fabric of civilization, except in obedience to the laws of human association taught by an outcast carper two thousand years ago. Now Roger Babson, one of our great authorities on finance, adds his word—not in a religious meeting but in his regular bulletin to American merchants. "The need of the hour," he says, "is not more legislation. The need of the hour is more religious. We all need a new outlook on life, a new political policy, and a new social policy. The old politics founded on fear and striving only for protection has fulfilled its usefulness. We need a new politics founded on faith and striving for production. Schools develop intellect theatres and novels foster passion but the church is the solid organization which develops those good motives of love, sympathy hope and inspiration on which the industrial salvation of the world depends." The missionary organ of the Southern Methodist church makes special application of these facts to racial unrest and mob violence, and calls on the 250,000 preachers of America to launch a campaign for "the creation of an attitude of Christian forbearance between the white and colored races." It appeals "to the ministers of our own church to wield the influence of their pulpits unifiedly and persistently to this end.—Now is the time for speech and action on the part of every man, preacher and layman, who desires to see our difficult racial problems settled on a Christian basis." There is undoubtedly a growing con viction among thinking folks that on no other basis can we hope for a set element that will endure. Twenty Fifth Marriage Anniversary of Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Johnson. Dr. and Mra. W. T. Johnson cordially invite their friends to their 8th Wedding Anniversary Reception Thu, May 18, November 20th, 1929. From 130 to 1130 of their residence 110 Lough street, Richmond, Va. No cards. CIVIC LEAGUES STATEMENT ON NEW YORK ELECTION. Bravo! We salute the voters of Harlem for one colored Assemblyman and two colored Aldermen. 1 The big, windy, City of the West can no longer boast of Aladin's wonderful politician lamp can only be rubbed in Clide. With Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins re-elected to the New York State Legislature and Dr. Charles H. Roberts and Editor George W. Harris elected to the Board of Aldermen in the City of New York. Chicago must sit up and take notice, and if she is not watchful, New York will reach congress first. Our slogan now is "On to Washing ton in 1920; Carry our Fight for Human Rights, Political Justice, and Industrial Freedom in o the Capitol of the Nation." Our demand upon the grand old party should not be short of four congressmen at least for the colored republican's support in the presidential election of 1920. Insist upon it. Madden of Illinois is alright—but what is the matter with a race man from Chicago? One from New York—one from Philadelphia and one from John M. Lagston's old congressional district in the State of Virginia. In fact, New Jersey, Deleware, West Virginia, Maryland, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and Kansas ought to regenerate and rejuvenate themselves in our national, political life. With the combined influence and efforts of organizations like the Unit Civic league, The Federation of Colored Organizations and Colored People's Interest, The Lincoln League, The League of Democracy, The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, The Equal Rights League and the N. A. A. C. P., the lost, strayed or stolen franchise of the race can be reclaimed. Let every race paper, every magazine, every church and fraternal organization in the United States help pave the way to Washington for colored congressmen—help urge upon the Republican National Committee to encourage and designate colored congressmen wherever our voting strength will warrant same. Through the pluck and courage of the United Civic League, which has fought steadily for six straight years the race has at last secured voice both in the State Legislature and the Board of Aldermen in the City and State of New York; and what may be accomplished locally in Chicago New York can also be accomplished politically in the nation. Washington is not so far off and each ballot helps to buy a passenger ticket for a congressman. Don't use us be excited or mislead about a few jobs and a little money, and thereby lose the opportunity to protect our firesides and our families with voice at Washington. Let every colored man and woman write and talk colored congressmen for our presidential support in 1920. --- President John, M. Royall of the United Civil League is rightfully jubilant over the success of his organization in promoting the candidaey and securing the election of Hon. John Clifford Hawkins to the New York State Legislature and Dr. Charles H. Roberts and Editor George W. Harris of the New York News to the New York Board of Aldermen. Colored People are learning to stick together and to get in the North, that which they have been denied in the South. We congratulate all who had ayn part or parcel in this achieve ment NOTICE Judge Harrison at the City Auditorium — Watch the Planet for the Date. Prof. John R. Hawkins will speak at the Ehenezer Baptist Church, Sunday, November 30th, 3:30 P. M., Subject: "Ideism." DR. W. H. STOKES, Pastor. PROF. W. P. EPPS, Clerk. "She Painted Her Face to Flirt With Death."

Crump. Words fail us to express the gratitude our hearts feel to each of the following who so gently lifted the burden from our shoulders and stood by to the end: Grand Lodge K. of P. of Va.; led by our G.

The Long Standing Suit of Moss vs. Thomas Is Ended. On April 6, 1917 I learned that Mrs. Moss had a piano for sale. I sent to her home to ascertain the price, later going in person to see her and she informed me that the piano was $125.00—$5.00 cash and $5.00 per month. I then decided to purchase the piano and paid $5.00 to bind the bargain as requested. Her husband, deacon Moss, was pres ent at the time and advised that he would have a book prepared especially for the entering of all payments, and would send the same when the piano was delivered. He failed to keep this promise when the piano was delivered on April 9th of the same year. Later on deacon Moss sent a wagon to my house to reclaim the piano stating that Mrs. Martha Harris had offered more money than what he had sold the instrument to me. I consulted Mr. Clarence Moss, who was formerly the owner of the piano and he stated that Mrs. Harris had not made any payments and had no contract, but she had offered more money. After learning these facts, I refused to give the piano up. Deacon Moss came to see me the second time demanding the return of the piano, but I still refused to go. A suit was then instituted against me but the judge ruled that I was entitled to the piano. Mrs. Harris also instituted suit against me but the judge again ruled that I was entitled to the piano. The case was then appealed to a higher Court. Although the plaintiffs consulted six lawyers, the judge still ruled that I was the rightful owner of the piano. This ended the suit between Moss, Harris and Thomas. MARY THOMS. 727 N. Fifth St. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. John E.

Monday, November 10, 1919 was "Tag Day" for the Charity and Welfare Work of The Community House 2 West Marshall Street. Never did faithful, true and tried women work more faithfully nor assiduously for good results than did the workers, who volunteered their services on this occasion for so worthy a cause. Many of the workers had never volunteered for such service before and the experienced and the inexperienced worked under two grave disadvantages—the following immedately behind four heavy drives of a similar nature, conducted during the preceding week, and the selling of armistice programs by white workers on this same day. Regardless of these existing conditions the women worked and the result is most pleasing, gratifying and commendable. $962.51 is the amount raised and the management extends the heartiest and most appreciative thanks to each and every one who contributed in the smallest way to its success. First to the women who braved the weather, standing for hours, soliciting the purchase of a tag. To the dear old souls and the childrer, for time contributed in stringing the tags. To the pastors, who called the attention of the public to the day and the cause, and proprietors, whose windows were utilized for the same purpose. To The Planet, St. Luke Herald, and H. H. Price's offices for courtesies extended in the preparation of the printed matter. To Lawyer J. Thomas Hewin and the American Beneficial Insurance Company's office force, Mr. A. D. Price, Mrs. W. T. Johnson, Mrs. Mary V. Binga, Mrs. Adelin$ _{3}$ Morris, Miss Celestine Brown, Mrs. Ella O. Walter, Mr. E. C. Burke, Mrs. Maggie L.

I consulted Mr. Clarence Moss, who was formerly the owner of the piano and he stated that Mrs. Harris had not made any payments and had no contract, but the had offered more money. After learning these facts, I refused to give the piano up. Deacon Moss came to see me the second time demanding the return of the piano, but I still refused to do so. A suit was then instituted against A suit was then instituted against me but the judge ruled that I was entitled to the piano. Mrs. Harris also instituted suit against me but the judge again ruled that I was entitled to the piano. The case was then appealed to a higher Court. Although the plaintiffs consulted six lawyers, the judge still ruled that I was the rightful owner of the piano. This ended the suit between Moss, Harris and Thomas. MARY THOMS. 727 N.

November.—The body of Viola Pagq, former Richmond girls was found under the flooring of her home here last week. Quicklime had destroyed most of the body. Her husband, Andrew Page, also from Richmond is in jail charged with the crime. Women Work Faithfully—Management Most Appreciative. Monday, November 10, 1919 was "Tag Day" for the Charity and Welfare Work of The Community House 2 West Marshall Street. Never did faithful, true and tried women work more faithfully nor assiduously for good results than did the workers, who volunteered their services on this occasion for so worthy a cause. Many of the workers had never volunteered for such service before and the experienced and the inexperienced worked under two grave disadvantages—the following immedately behind four heavy drives of a similar nature, conducted during the preceding week, and the selling of armistice programs by white workers on this same day. Regardless of these existing conditions the women worked and the result is most pleasing, gratifying and commendable. $962.51 is the amount raised and the management extends the heartiest and most appreciative thanks to each and every one who contributed in the smallest way to its success. First to the women who braved the weather, standing for hours, soliciting the purchase of a tag. To the dear old souls and the children, for time contributed in stringing the tags. To the pastors, who called the attention of the public to the day and the cause, and proprietors, whose windows were utilized for the same purpose. To The Planet, St. Luke Herald, and H. H. Price's offices for courtesies extended in the preparation of the printed matter. To Lawyer J. Thomas Howin and the American Beneficial Insurance Company's office force, Mr. A. D. Price, Mrs. W. T. Johnson, Mrs. Mary V. Binga, Mrs. Adelin$ _{0}$ Morris, Miss Celestine Brown, Mrs. Ella O. Waller, Mr. E. C. Burke, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker and others for special services rendered, to a generous public for its contributions, and again to every faithful woman who was responsible for the day's success. Next week appears the list of workers, box number and its contents May God's blessings continue with you and your household. L. H. PAYNE, Executive Secretary. "PRECKLES"—JACK PICKFORD.

NOVEMBER 15, 1919 HARE TANNA! ADORED, Requires 3 of 4 Allies (o Agroo to Reservations, Dedares Mxecutive Is Willing to Ac: cept Compromise Proposals Which Will Not Bo Reconstructive — of Document—-Adininistration’s Lead- er ‘Threatens (0 Force Senate In to Deadlock to Bring Milder Oppon onts to His Side~Says Bnd of Wigt Is Near at Hand. (By Albert W Fox.) The first alteration of “the peace treaty which! Presiden} Wilson brought back from Paris’ was. form ally made by the Senate yesterday, when tho preamble, or initial clause of the Lodge reservations was. adopt cd by a voto of 48 to 40. The voto closely followed word Drought from the President by Sena tor Hiteheock that the adoption — of these reservations would be regarded as tantamount to killing the treaty. ‘The preamble voted upon is In one sense the most drastic of all the pre visions in the reservation. and was characterized Friday by Senator Mc Cumber as constituting an unneces sary affront to the allies, PREAMBLE AS ADOPTED, ‘The preamble as adopted follows: “The committee also reports the following reservations and — under standings 10 be made apart and a condition of the resomtion ot yatitt cation is not to Cake effect or hind the United States until the said res: ervations and understandings adopt ed by the Senate have been accepted by an exchange of notes as a part and a condition of said resolution of ratl- fication by at least three of the four principal allied and associate powers to wit, Great Britain, France, Ttaly and Japan,” The ‘roll call bore out Senator Lodge's prediction tat on the vote for the committee reservations, all the Republicans, excepting Senator MeCumber, would be for them while Senator Reod, Gore, Walsh of Massa- chusetts and Shields would vote with the majority party. Senator Shields was paired” but Senator Reed an- nounced for him that had he heen able he would have voted for the res ervation, @ HOW VOTES WERE CAST, ‘The roll call was as follows: FOR 'THE AMENDMENT.

Hight senators were paired. ‘The four favoring the reservation were Penrose Sutherland, Warren, and Shields, Democrats. ‘Phose against it wore Bankread, Beekham, Martin and Stanley, all Democrats. ‘The first real test of the vote on the Lodge program came in connec: lion with Senator MeChmber's sub stitute amendment providing that the preanile shoul not specify thet three of the four allicd and’ associ: ated powers must agree “by an ex: change of notes” to the American resorvations., ‘This weakened the pro amble somewhat, but Senator Me- Cumber contended that it climinated tho drastic character and the harsh: ness of the preamble, which forced the allies to admit acauesence in tho American reservations as a condition of ratification of the treaty. Senator McCumber’s proposition ro presented an attempt to compromise between the advocates of the drastic reservations and the administration forces, which have fought for no re- servations at all. But it was beaten by ‘a vote of 48 to 40 the roll call bo ing the same as that adopting — tho Lodge reservation later. ‘The voto showod conclusively that all the ao called mild reservationista among the Republicans had definitely align: cd thenselves with the Lodge forces, excepting Senator McCumber. MCCUMEDR BEATEN AGAIN. Immediately after the vote Sena- tor Meswater introduced — another tibstitute regervation — atoms — the same Inne 1 was heaton by a vote of 18 to 40, Senator King, Democrat, then of: fered a reservation in at ‘attempt to compromise, which provided that Me allies could register their acquies- ence in the American reservations cither by an exchange of notes, or by rovesnizing the United Stites as a party to the treaty. ‘This was beaten hy a vote of 46 to 42, Senator Gore and Walsh, Massachusetts, voting this time for the amendment. A proposal by Senator Borah, re quiring all four of the principal al- Tied and assockated powers, instead of threo, to accept the reservations was defeated by a vote of 63 to 25, ‘There wore smiles on the Republican side when Senator Borah mado this pro- posal, for it was realized that its adoption would mean the certain death of tho treaty, as it would re: quire Japan to formally sanction the Senate's reservation on Shantung, LODGE SURE OF VICTORY. Senator Lodge oxpects a decisive majority for remaining reservations, as Senator MeCumber voted for some of them, in committee. Senator ‘Thom as is known to also favor some — of them and Senator Smith, Democrat, of Georgia announced yesterday that Vo would support a majority of them, IL is conceded by Senator Hitchcock that the Lodge program of reservat- ions will prevail. ‘rhe question of whether the Ad: ministration Senators will then vote to reject the treaty vemains wnaw- swered, although) Presideny Wilson informed Senator Hiteheack Festerday that he wonld regard these reserva- Lions as destructive. of the treaty. ‘The President altered is position, however, to the extent of now being willing ‘to aecept reservations — not restructive of the treaty. Mis prev fous attitude has been for ratifien- tion without reservations and he characterized even mild reservations such as the reservation of Senator Me Cumber on Article X, as “killing, the treaty.” | HITCHCOCK USING STRATEGY The Hitehcock forces are natural: ly emphasizing the — probability of their voting against the Lodge reser: vations. ‘This from the standpoint of political strategy, is a good move, and is aimed at weakening the post Lion of some of the mild reservation- ists who are voting with the Lodge majority. By professing to accept vir {ually any sort of compromise on the Lodge reservations the administration semitors hope to bring pressure — to bear on the mild reservationists for the erueial test should the administra Lion senators voto aggtinst ratifiea- Gon with tho Lodge reservations. Shontd the treaty, with the drastic Neservations — ineorporated in the Lodge resolution of ratification be de feated hy not getting a twothirds volo Senator Titeheock will then Move to present a resolution of rati Hieation of his own, Tho Lodge followers will make — a point of rder aradinst this on the ground that the treaty has heen vot- cd down anid is no longer before the Senate. ‘The Miteheock — forees will contend that only the resolution of ratification and not the treaty has Ween disposed of and the treaty is SUI before the Senate MARSHALL MUST DECIDE. It is exepected that the Vice Presi- dent will decide in favor of the Hiteh cock contention dnt an appeal against this decision will promptly be made ‘This will call for a vote, the majort ty deciding. If the majority sustains Senator Lodge, the only move lett for the administration forces will be to ask for a reconsideration of — the vole rejecting the treaty. Here again a majority vote will decide whether or not there is to be reconsideration ——~+2-e____. S129 ENDOWMENT PAID, Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 14, 1919.

No national convention of eith er party ever deciared in favor. of Kightecnth Amendment, Ne national election was ever won or lost on that issie, No candidate for President of cither party ever indersed it. No Congress was ever elected to submit such a national prohibition amend ment to the State Legislitures or to enforce sueh an amendmen’, No Legis lature was ever chosen to ratify such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Yet the amend- ment has been written into the Con stitittion. If the prohibition lobby ean change the findamental law of the Nation the fundatmental structure of Ameri- can institutions, any other band of adventures, sufficiently well organtz; ed and suifieiently well faneed, ean again make aver the Constiturion to suit themselves. ‘There is noting — to prevent the Fosters and the Lewises and the Maurers from forming their own secret combinations with swh- servient politicians and. establishing the Soviets some day as an integral bart of the Constitution of the Unit ed States. 1 these vitel changes in the basic law are not to be submitted to the people, in any form whatever, if the people are to have no chance to discuss them or vote on them, amending the Constitution of — the United States has become merely a matter of backroom bargain — and barter, Any faction that can get con trol of Congress far one session and intimidate “a sufficient umber of faithless State Legislatures can make over the Constitution to suit itself, The Ohio referendum, regardless of the official count, is already con- elusive in one respect. It shows that thonsands of voters who are. willing 10 accept State prohibition have re Jected national prohibition. ‘The Ohio vole can therefore rightfully ‘be re- euarded as the opening gun in a new campaign to re-establish American in stitutions as they existed previous to ‘the adoption of the — revolutionary Righteenth Amendment and the enact ment of the revolutionary legislation that has heen devised to enforce tt.

The officials of the United Mind Workers of America decided to obey the order of Judge'A. B. Anderson of the United State District Court, at Indianapolis, while at the same time appealing from the mandate of the Court. The question now is whether or not the miners will obey their officers in the reshinding of the strike order under duress. It is plainly evident that the laboring elements flushed with repeated successes in their demands have ridden to an easy fall. The people of the country, who are already heavily burdened and who pay for all of these disagreements wish to see this class of people properly remunerated, but it must be done along the lines of reason and common sense. The miners showed wise judgment in adopting a conservative course and in testing the constitutionality of the law in question and the right of His Honor, A. B. Anderson to issue such a drastic injunction including as it did the obliteration for the time being of personal rights and personal property. We have always taken the position that under the usual course, the laws must be observed and the constitutional guarantees of the citizen must be respected. These rights can only be set aside under martial law, the stress of war and similar upheavals, but before this can be properly done, the citizen should be put upon notice by the declaring of martial law. We have witnessed the novel situation of two kings, ruling upon a throne at one and the same time. The civil authorities have been exercising jurisdiction at the same time that the War Department has been doing the same thing. A person's liberty has been put in jeopardy in two tribunals at about one and the same time, and instances have been cited where a person has been held liable before two legal tribunals for practically the same offense. But after all, it is "a white man's fight." Colored folks have fought these same abridgments of rights and privileges for more than a decade. It is the white man's turn now and from the way he is meeting the issue, he finds himself much worse off than the colored folks have been. We sympathize with every class, he that class white or black, rich or poor, whose fundamental rights are endangered and whose liberty of action is curtailed by an auto cratic interpretation or enforcement of the law. The Hon. William J. Bryan is absent these days. He cannot speak out without aligning himself with the foes of the present administration. He brought about this industrial revolution which was given added impetus by the late and lamented Hon. Theodore Roosevelt and which was put into action by that distinguished occupant of the White House, President Woodrow Wilson who in turn in order to save the Government and its institutions has had to turn his back upon some of his best friends in the ranks of the laboring elements of the United States of America. This document contains text that is not clearly legible. It is not intended for use as a guide for reading or understanding the content. THE MINERS AND THE JUDGE. The drastic injunction issued by Judge A. B. Anderson, of the United States District Court at Indianapolis against the officers of the United Mine Workers of America, which directed them to rescind a strike order issued by them and taking away from that organization the power to expend its own money will be viewed by every thoughtful citizen in the country as the most remarkable exercise of the judicial power ever recorded since the foundation of the Government. The power and authority to issue such an injunction is directly charge Congress and without such an act up on the statute books such an Injunction would have been impossible. The remarkable part of the whole business is that this law under which this injunction was secured is of a temporary character and becomes in operative immediately upon the ratification of the Peace Treaty or the official declaration that the war is at an end. The situation is in a measure anus- ing as serious as it seems to be. The labor leaders have virtually been in control of the Government that now turns its drastic power of punishment and restraint upon them. Legis- lation has been enacted under which the Coal Trust, the Meat Trust', the Money Trust, the Steel Trust and the Railroad Trust have been hound ed for many years. Judge Kencasv Laudis of the U. S. District Court of Chicago went so far as to inflict upon one of these trusts a fine going into the millions. An apparently innocent-looking enactment, passed at a time, when the excitement incident to the war did not permit careful scanning was passed by the Congress. That President Samuel Gompers, however had his misgivings as to the two-edged character of this legislation is evident from the fact that the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor in the statement endorsing and pledging the support of the organization to the United Mine Workers of America uses the following language: Members of the committee having the bill in charge have in writing declared that it was not in the minds of the committee, and the then Attorney General, Mr. Gregory, gave assurance that the government would not apply that law to the workers' efforts to obtain improved working conditions. Every assurance from the highest authority of our government was given that the law would not be so applied. This is a charge that the labor leaders were double crossed. The Congress had previously made the Labor Trust above the law so to speak by exempting the members thereof from the operation of the Anti-Trust laws. To emphasize the fact that the Labor Trust had been designated a special class to be accorded special privileges, the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor cities the words of President Woodrow Wilson himself when in addressing the Buffalo Convention of that great organization, he used the following language: "While we are fighting for freedom, we must see among other things that labor is free and that means a number of interesting things. It means not only that we must do what we have declared our purpose to do, see that the conditions of labor are not rendered more onerous by the war, but also that we shall see to it that the instrumentalities by which the conditions of labor are improved are not blocked or checked. That we must do." Protected as they regarded themselves to be by the Chief Executive of the Nation these leaders proceeded to disregard the rights and privileges of the other classes and made demands almost impossible of fulfillment. Now they find themselves confronting a hostile Government with the army of the United States with all of the implements of war ready to charge the hosts of labor. We admit that under the Lever Act, Judge A. B. Anderson was authorized to issue this drastic injunction in all respects but one. We cannot understand how he could legally restrain the United Mine: Workers of America from expending their own money. The moneyed interests have skillfully led the leaders of organized labor up to an open contest with the United States Government, which Government will either destroy them and their organizations or will be over-thrown. This same law would have been invoked against the railroad shopmen, but they did not force the issue. We believe that it is absurd for laboring men to strike against the Government. They have the lawful right to strike against private partnerships or corporations. They can quit work, but to threaten and organize to destroy an industry because forsquoth, they are not paid as much they believe they are entitled to receive is all wrong. Politicians and day-dreamers and and theorists are having their day, but they all will reach a common level after a while, where common sense and common honesty will be recognized and peace and harmony will once more be found in the land. MOB VIOLENCE. Jordan Jameson, a colored man charged with killing Sheriff Greer of Columbia county Arkansas was captured near Magnolia, Ark., and burned in the public square of that town, Tuesday, November 11, 1919. This occurred in free America with its civilization and its laws and with THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA crime in the hands of white men. Burning at the stake has become so common these days that protest against it are no longer being heard in the land. Men charged with crime can only die defending themselves for it is better to be stabbed to death or to be shot down than it is to be submitted to tortures that would bring forth punishment if inflicted upon the brute creation. No doubt this man deserved death, but not the kind of death that was inflicted up on him. For our part, we are just as much opposed to the infliction of death penalty upon white men as we we against the infliction of the death penalty upon black men when it is to be done by lawless mobs. This assault upon the law will in time bring its own punishment. It is bringing [the American Government] at the present time dangerously near a revolution. Colored people have been loyal to the Government they are devotees of the law and they maybe depended upon when the critical time comes and their help is again needed in the saving of the nation. MRS. GUILLIAMS' EXPLANATION We have received a most interesting letter from Mrs. J. M. Guilliams of Valdosta, Georgia who recently in formed the public that she was a northern woman living in a section of the country, where it appeared to be necessary to keep firearms in order to protect her person from the lusts of black brutes. While she disclawed any intention to convey this impression, most assuredly, her ill-timed letter would convey that impression. With law-abiding colored men, surrounding her and with the schools and churches occupied by colored people, with their tasty residences in easy reach and with the well-known disposition of colored men to defend and protect white females as well as colored ones, she led the public to believe that, she and her able husband were residing in the midst of black barbarians. We are glad to note that she dis claims any such intentions. in this last missive. But we are saying too much just now. Here is Mrs. Guilliams letter: Valdosta, Georgia. Sir—"He that farmed the eye, shall he not see, He that planted the ear, hall He not hear." I have received a number of letters from colored people all — Now sir, if you are the educated, cultivated man, I take you to be, honest interested in elevating your race, you will agree with me that the writer of an anonymous letter does not believe what he writes. So far as my beauty is concerned, I am by no means a young woman, and never could at any time in my life lay any claim to beauty. There is nothing about me to set any man, white or black "crazy." Such a thing never entered my head and there is nothing whatever in the letter I wrote you to indicate it. With regard to the pistol it is kept for any intruder, white or black who might attempt to burgee my house at night. Of course in the letter I wrote one would naturally conclude that I kept it for the benefit of colored men. Not so. I would not hesitate a moment to use it on any one whom I felt meant me harm. Yours for the good of all, —MRS. J. M. GUILLIAMS. We agree with this white lady relative to anonymous communications. We have made a rule of our life to publish all we desire to say over our own name and to take the consequences. We have had to take the consequences too, but we have no revert to spend. We have come out of all contes's bolder and stronger, although in a way weakened in finance. Mrs. Guilliams' letter now is in marked contrast to the one she sent to this office before. We insist though that this lad's fears, to our mind are due to her own conjuration. We are all in a combine against the black brute and the white one. Because forsooth an hundred men out of ten million disgrace themselves, and reflect upon the colored race should in no wise affect the standing of the remainder of this multitude of people. Mrs. Guilliams, the black hoodlums learned their traits from the white hoodlums and we want both eliminated. Colored folks have a duty to perform and many of them are performing it. They must see to it that this rising generation is looked after and the work must be begun in the cradle. Thousands of dissolute black mothers are raising children with nameless fathers and these children heed not man and fear not God. It is for us to rear them in Christian sanitary surroundings and we hope to see the day dawn when this is being done. On the other hand there are hundreds of thousands of self-respecting God-fearing mothers, who are rearing their children properly and they are becoming shining, illuminating fac- These people are ready to protect white women as well as black ones and these are the people, who are the offspring of the black mammies, whose husbands made such a record for themselves during the long, bloody four years' war when white men were virtually fighting to perpetuate slavery and yet they protected the wives and children of these same husbands and when the war was over went to work for many of these white men, who today are great ful away down in their heart of hearts for the devotion they displayed. This is why Mrs. Guilliams, there can never be a race-war of any magnitude in the South-land, Black men will rally to save their white ones, while the white and black females on both sides will cement the union of the races in suicid a contest. Mrs. Guilliams, we are sorry that you wrote your first letter and we are glad that you have retracted the impression it conveyed. Colored folks in this country are all right. Mrs. Guilliams, the colored folks are all right. The miners are angry, but Labor is angrier. Some women have lots of sense and they know how to use it. The white folks treated the colored folks mighty well this week and the colored folks are pleased. Those folks who yell loudes against matrimony are the first to go another wife when they go single. This Government is both at peace and at war. It depends altogether up on the angle from which you view it President. Samuel Gorapers has walked over to the side of the street occupied by Colonel George Harvey of Harper's Weekly. President Wilson continues ill and his friends are becoming apprehensive less his disability continue throughout this year and a part of next year. Colored folks, they are burning colored men in the South and hanging white men in the North-West. After all, lawlessness is no respecter of persons. Rev. Dr. H. H. N. Jeter of Newport R. L., was in the city recently in the interest, of a movement for the benefit of the colored people. He made a most favorable impression here. If you are making money, save some of the money that you are making. If you try to save nearly all of the money, you are making, you will "fall down" and spend all of it. Colored folks have been having a hard time of it, and they are still having a hard time in some sections of this country, but it is the whitefolks, turn now, thank God Dr. Josiah Oldfield of London is of the opinion that a person rightly fed should live from ninety to one hundred and five years of age. Some of the kinds of diet that he prescribes are so unpalatable to us that we would prefer to eat just waht we want and die from ten to fifteen years sooner. Will some one tell the Virginia officials whether or not the games of chance in the Armistice Street Carnival really violate the law? Colonel William M. Myers would like to know and so would Police Justice John J Crutchfield. The Attorney General's official force seems to hold an opinion about it that is as misleading as the proverbial Chinese puzzle.

JACOBS' PHARMACY COMPANY Atlanta, Ga. head—new rules on packing express shipments go into effect December 10th. Steps were taken today by General Agent R. D. Clark in charge of the city express office, to prepare for the new express packing requirements, which go into effect on December 10. He has been advising express shippers to study the new rules, which have been approved by the United States Railroad Administration, so that they may be able to adjust their packing methods to the forthcoming new standards. Under the new regulations, which are embodied in what is known technically as Supplement No. 5, to Express Classification No. 26, all shipments sent by express weighing over 25 pounds, must be packed in wooden containers, or cartons of fibre board pulpboard or corrugated straw board material of specified "test strengths." This means according to General Agent Clark's statement that after December 10 packages over the 25 pound limit will not be accepted for forwarding by the American Railway Express Company handling the express business of the entire country as Agent of the Railroad Administration if only paper wrapped. Nor will ordinary paper boxes, wrapped or unwrapped, he accepted as suitable protection for these heavier shipmen's. The regulations, however, do not affect shipments under 25 pounds. Regular shippers, General Agent Clark stated today, will not be mystified by the new regulations, as they follow very closely the packing requirements long in vogue in the freight service. The express regulations, however, allow a little more latitude in the size of the carton used. The enforcement of the new rules was postponed until December 10, so that shippers would have plenty of time to prepare themselves for this change in express packing standards. Mr. Clark expressed the opinion that these new rules will not work any hardships on shipers, but should operate distinctly in their interest as the rules will provide additional safe guards for merchandise in transit. Moreover, they will establish a uniformity of express packing rules which heretofore has been lacking. The new order does not affect the movement of food products by express. DR. PALMER'S TOILET DR.

Tennant, Treasurer PLANET which are ordinarily shipped in crates or barrels. We believe, stated General Agent Clark in explaining the new regulations, that the shipping public will welcome the new standards when they understand them, and the reasons for putting them into effect. Never before in the history of the country has the express traffic reached such proportions as it has assumed today. At the same time, there has been comparatively litile increase in the amount of car space available for this business. We have been asked to carry heavier shipments and commodities of every conceivable kind. Before the war, it was possible for car messengers to spread their freight out on the floors of the express cars without much congestion. Today we are running dozens of through cars between the big cities and every one of those cars is packed to capacity. There has been a similar congestion in the local runs. This has made it necessary for express shipments to be stacked. As a result, individual shipments have had to be strongly enough packed to be able to stand up for themselves, and owing to the lack of uniformity in this regard the new regulations were formulated and finally approved by the Railroad Administration. The stronger containers required, we believe, will very perceptibly help to improve the express service and to protect the miscellaneous articles of the merchandise travelling through this channel from damage or interference enroute. An extensive educational campaign is planned to explain to express shipers how the new requirements will operate in the various trades which depend upon the express service for the movement of the bulk of their output and also to instruct express employees regarding acceptance of matter for shipment under the new standards. General Agent Clark is able to supply shipers with copies of the Supplement No. 5 to Express Classification No. 26, in which the new rules are outlined in detail, which go into effect on December 10th.

W., became the bride of Mr. Robert Roy Matthews, of New York City. The ceremony was performed by Rev. L. L. Downing, pastor of the bride. The decorations were beautifully arranged. On either side and front of he altar were profusions of beautiful flowers, backed by rows of stately palms and ferns. There were baskets and vases filled with exquisite cut roses and chrysanthe mums, rows of vari-colored potted plants, masses of blossoms, tropical and semi-tropical and in the back of the altar rose majestic ferns and palms, whose great fronds hung in beautiful curves, the whole room was festooned with drooping creepers. Everywhere hung the scent of the many colored blossoms and the more subtle perfume of white and pink roses floated through the Church combining in one intoxicating aroma From the high vaulted ceiling hundreds of electric lights radiated their fine spun rays upon this beautiful setting. The Church was packed with the best of Roanoke's citizens. As the strains of the wedding march pealed forth (Mrs. Dr. Moor, at the piano), first came the Ushers, Mr. George Sheffey, Mr. Tiffany Toliver, Mr. Willard Miller and Mr. Hunter Torry. Then came the bridesmaids, Miss Ola Weaver, of Baltimore, resplendent in green chiffon over satin, trimmed with cluny lace.

A shake of — tho head, sometimes accompanicd by 2 grim smile, was as far as they Wish ed ta go towards indicating what they thought of the situation. C. B. Ames, Assistant Attornoy General, who conducted the case for the government also smiled, but moro cheerfully than the union men, when asked for comment, and said:—"'The decision speaks for’ itself.” Attorneys for the union fought a iosing fight from tho start of the pro ceedings. Pirst_ they moved postpone- ment for a week, indieating that there was a chance for settloment of the strike by that time, Mr. Ames — ob: fected and the court ordered the caso to proceed. ‘The government introduced five at- fidavits as evidence that the operat ion of the railroads was being Inter fered with and that contracts be tween employers und miners had been broken ‘The defence responded with its ‘motion for dissolution — of the restraining order and arguments followed.

Louisville, Ky.,—During a recent discussion of mob violence a Kentucky Presbyterian preacher gave the following facts, which he vowed for as coming within his personal experience within the last two or three years: The first case was of a woman, a member of his church, assaulted and murdered by a Negro one Saturday evening. The criminal was caught and spirited off to a neighboring county's jail but preparations were on foot for a raid on the jail and a lynching Sunday night. In the town where the horror occurred the ministers, including the woman's pastor conferred. They all preached that morning on the Christian's duty to uphold the law; and after the services they went to work among their men members. These rallied to them in such fashion that the mob died aborning. The Negro was tried and legally executed. In the second case the victim was a child whose widowed another employed the Negro on her farm. Hundreds gathered to plan the search, and a burning afterward. The mother; was with her child's body when the Negro entered the room and prayed for her protection; he had hilda in her house when the men began to come. She took him to the attic and then went out to her neighbors and so he sought them to keep their hands from blood that they promised her to let the law take its course. She then gave the Negro up; and he, like "It gave me," said the man who the other, was dealt with by the law, told the story, "a new conception of the power of Christ over the human heart." $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

C., in the Fall of 1917 and became a member of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Rev. R. H. Sawyer, pastor. He married a Miss Sadie Husband of Durham, N. C., who died soon after. He served as apprentice brick mason at Morehead City. He was a dutiful son and loving husband. His last words were: "I am trusting in the Lord and will do so 'till I die." His father, Mr. Benjamin McClain and his mother, Mrs. Mary McClain keenly feel the sadness of his death and rejoice in the fact that they firmly believe that his soul is at rest. His body was sent to Florence from Morehead City for burial. A large crowd witnessed the departure of his body from Morehead City and also attended the funeral at Salem M. E. Church, Florence. Mr. T. E. Purnell, agent of the Chicago Tailoring Company passed through the city recently enroute to Charleston, S. C. and Savannah, Ga. He is from Baltimore, Md.

C. Mr. Horace Sweet is kept so very busy now building houses. The other day the writer asked him why he was not at it. "What," said he. "I am not to work all the time." "Yes you must do it," said I.

Our boat got away at 5 P. M. All are well. Each of us has been vaccinated with Typhoid [Serum, as a protection against Malaria!] fever so prevalent in West Africa. The children took "one shot," while the grown ups took three, about three days apart. The sea has been smooth, but each of us suffered a little fever and chills from the inoculation. All-in-all we are well. We are not sure the operating table marked, Dr. Sisusa, the organ and two boxes marked "I. B. M." are on the ship and fear they were left behind. We hope to get out of Liverpool for Africa next week. We feel the Churches and friends at home are praying for us. Each of the workers seem to appreciate what is expected of them and appear ready to serve for the Glory of God, the good of the African and the joy of those who sent them. There are several missionaries on Board, going to various parts of the world. Our Lord is going to get a hearing as never before. The coming days are to be great days for the doing of the "Gospel," and Oh! may my brethren arise to the greatness of their opportunities. "Thy people shall be willing," is the pro nise. We shall pray every day for our Chairman, every member of the Board our Churches, Pastors and Friends. To do what we have planned we must feel borne up on the wings of your prayers. A letter with a five cent stamp or a card with a two cent stamp, malted to me on or before the 10th of December to Monrovia, Liberia, West Coast of Africa will reach me. God bless you all, I am.
