THE RICHMOND PLANET RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVII, NUMBER 11 THE REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS-WHICH? Lucian B. Watkins Favors a Trial of the Socialist Party, The American Negro who has the heart to write an cultural dialogizing Charles r. Jacoby and Tammany Hall must be an interesting subject for a psychological study. Mr. William Bridges in his magazine, The Challenge, December-January number under the caption "A Negro Trampled in the New York election," talks serenantly about the tracedly enacted by his race when it did not vote the Democratic ticket in the last election. I endorse those of what Mr. Bridges says in demonstrating the Republican party but cannot sense his expressed approval of the Democratic brand of democracy even here in New York. I am sure that most persons think it entirely fitting and commendable that the Negro voters supported their own Republican and race nominee. However, even thus is of but local impotent when compared with the political issue of the hour. The fact is that both the Republican and Democratic parties have ceased to represent the interests of the Lincoln-born laboring masses of America. Between these two parties as they are today, there is little chance that the Negro or any other common voter can make a right or a wrong choice. The eternal shame is that the common people persist in voting against their own interest. Could they see beyond the subtle plutoeracy and autocracy they would do the same thing and vote their own people's ticket. I believe that the Socialists of America deserve a fair trial. The Republicans and the Democrats have both gone to seed. Vainly o have voted for them; they have proved themselves unfit as the exponents of a true democracy. The Socialists maintain that they have the solutions for the industrial and economic questions of the day. They talk straight on the Negro problem. Why not give them a trial and a chance to prove what the yas? THE SOCIALIST AND THE NEGRO Mr. John M. Work, in his book, en attitled: What's So and What Isn't wrote the following chapter on "The Race Problem." What are we Socialists going to do with the Negro? We are going to give him justice along with the rest. The prejudices against the Negro is by no means confined to the South. It is just as strong in the North as it is in the South. The only reason it does not show itself as much in the North is because the Negroes are fewer in number. I do not mean that every body is prejudiced against the Negro. There are exceptions. The blacks are prejudiced against the whites as much as the white against the blacks. And they certainly have good reason to be. This prejudice be tween the races is fostered and increased by economic friction. The Negro naturally hates the whites because they quietly and persistently keep him down. A white man hates a Negro who competes with him in business. Under the present system the higher education of the Negro aggravates this condition. A white workingman hates a Negro who competes with him for a job. Under the present system the Industrial education of the Negro aggravates this condition. Negroes are sometimes used by the capitalists as strike breakers. This of course aggravates race prejudice to the point inflammation. When a Negro victim of manifold economic injustice assaults a white woman, this again fans race prejudice into flame. RACE PREJUDICE DEPLQTABLE "This race prejudice is deplorable. It is a judge of mediocrity. It shows that in spite of our murky adventance we are not developed as far from the beast as we might be. To a highly developed person, race prejudice is a stranger. In a condition of universal enlightenment, race prejudice could not exist. Nevertheless, this race prejudice is a fact. And Lactis must always be taken into account. The whites brought the Negroes here for economic reasons. The Negroes come against their will. The whites should never forget that fact. However, neither the present generation of whites nor the present generation of blacks is to blame for the existence of the race problem. We are all here. Let's solve the problem in a way that will do justice to us all. The Negro is entitled to be guaranteed an opportunity to, earn a living, the same as a white man. He is entitled to the full value of his labor, the same as a white man. He is entitled to a vote in the government to which he is compelled to submit, the same as a white man. Socialism will guarantee him the exercise of these rights. Socialism will therefore open to him the avenues to all the higher things of life and give him a chance to develop himself. Socialism will move the economic friction between the races. A PLEA FOR A NEW PARTY As for the bamboo of social intercourse, I have shown in the chapter on Communism that Socialism will release you from having to associate with the white people who are disagreeable to you, but with whom you are now compelled to associate. In the same manner, Socialism will release you from having to associate with black people if they are disagreeable to you. It will also release the Negroes from having to associate with white people. All the Socialist party proposes to do with the Negro is to give him economic justice. Social gravitation will do the rest. Under the present conditions the Negroes and the whites are compelled to live in the same localities because the Negroes work for the whites. SEPARATION CANCELLED Under Socialism, it will be entirely feasible for the Negroes to live in localities by themselves, if they so desire and run the public industries of those localities. Since Negroes as a rule do not like to associate with the whites, but prefer the company of their own people, it is probable that when Socialism makes their voluntary segregation possible, they will take advantage of it, thus gaining the opportunity to work out their own development, which was so rudely wrenched from its natural course by the slave trade of long ago. "Undoubtedly, when the whites no longer need the Negroes about them for economic reasons, many of the whites will also be in favor for the segregation of the races and will as sist the tendency in that direction by that quiet but powerful urge which they have become past masters in all ministering. If segregation takes place it should take place by natural gravitation not by statute law. We have had quite enough attempts to solve the race problem by force. Of one thing we may be certain. Whether segregation takes place or not, the highly cultured men and women of the two races will insist upon perfect freedom of association with each other. They will not be willing to forego the benefits and pleasures of intellectual intercourse in deference to an unworthy prejudice. The white race can well afford to do justice to the black race. It might afford to do more than justice. It certainly cannot afford to do less. The removal of economic friction between the races, and the higher development of both white and blacks will cause race prejudice to gradually fade away and finally disappear. A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS I have quoted this entire chapter from Mr. Work's book. I believe it serves it. For years Socialism has been a voice crying in the wilderness. As a race we have not even investigated it—consciously. We have not known that its banner of red symbolizes the martyrdom of blood and the brotherhood of man. We have --- KHEUMA TISM—PAINS—ACHES.

Care of the Planet EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS I left Richmond at 4 P. M., via C. & O. R. M. R. Rev. J. L. Morris was rather late in reaching the station and I had secured parlor or reception for myself in a car that was filled to the limit of its capacity. I was soon on my way to Portmouth where were no incidents of note. I flood the station, Teumo, where an oxon, colored etiquen had been used for a wife with a babe in arms, while most of the other blood men I knew did not want a man if she didn't have a babe in arms. THE C. STEAMER Artiving at Newport News, Va., I bounded the C & O Streeter and Rev L. J. Morris took my hand here. The boat was filled to its capacity with a mass of humanity white and colored. There is absolutely equal commendations accorded the races here. Iank into one of the camp chairs and gave way to mediation. Rev E. H. Hunter the popular can didate for the bishophood in the A. M. E. Church came over and cordially greeted me. We discussed incidents of the past and talked about our hopes for the future. Rev E. P. W. Williams and his wife were also among the passengers. Artiving at Norfolk, the crowd disembarked and we remained until the boat reached Portsmouth where we were met by Col. Archer Drew in President Levi C. Brown's seven passenger automobile A COZY RESIDENCE It was not long before we were in side of the cozy brick residence of this influential citizen of Tidwater. His residence, located at 915 Glassgrow street is an attractive brick structure built along the most modest line. It is electrically lighted and gas heated. Modest, but expensive interior fittings and fittings make a most favorable impression on the visitor. A massive cathedral clock with musical chimes stands just inside of the doorway. It was here that I was to spend the night. A PROGRESSIVE BANK Later, I visited the Mutual Savings Bank of which Mr. Brown is President, Geo W. Brandon and M. D. Bullock, Vice Presidents and Maleon Holmes, Cushier. The new structure in Effingham Street has a frontage of about 25 feet, the first story from was replaced with granite. Inside shate marble of a most pleasing type with iron grill work tends to invite patons. The vault is of the square door type. When I visited the bank the next morning crowds were surging there in the Christmas Savings Club Department. The officials were assured of a membership of 1500 for this year. AN UP-TO DATE CAFETERIA The patrons and officials were moots of quietude and efficiency. I was much pleased with what I had seen. The progress being made quietly along these lines was almost unbelievable. Mr. Tatemt's Cafeteria upstairs is admirably conducted. He served some twenty five years in the United States Navy and that he was popular goes without saying. He is one of the best chefs in the United States. On Tuesday morning I went over to Norfolk, in Mr. Jones' car. Before leaving the house, I saw his garage with two swining doors closing and opening of about 20 feet. I remarked that he had the largest swining doors that I had ever seen on a building of that size. I noticed a change on his countenance. THOSE LARGE DOORS "The man," who built the garage," he said assured me that those doors would work all right, but they do too. I have the rollers out there to make the change. I was not surprised. It would require two or three men to open the doors, whenever it was necessary to get out his car. He knew this, so he left the door open. When we arrived at the ferry our car was behind a lumber wagon, drawn by two horses. The official waved to us to go to the right while the wagon was sent to the left. It was getting colder, and I felt it keenly. Arriving on the Norfolk side we were soon at the new building of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company. A CROWD OF PATRONS A crowd of patrons were here too. Cashier J. S. Jones recognized us and showed us through this beautiful MARITIME DEEDING KEEPING NOTE PRICE, FIVE CENTS structure. They have 11 employees. The fixtures are marble and maboga my finish. They have many machines. They have had a remarkable success. Editor B. P. Young is President of this institution. It took only a short while to go around the corner to the office of The Journal and Guide where we met President Young and his brother, Pressman Robert Alexander is still with the firm. They have a modern plant and are doing first class work. A singular mishap had occurred on the outside. A Ford bus had become entangled with a wagon and every effort to unhook was unsuccessful. LIFTING A WAGON Finally two men lifted one side of the wagon up on the side walk and the horse and wagon went down the street, while the Ford chauffeur crumbled until he was exhausted while a steady stream of vehicles lined the way behind hint. Just as patience caused to be a virtue, the Ford engine "coughed" and went to work much to the satisfaction of the passengers who had been patiently waiting to it it to move onward. We visited the new theatrical structure for colored people. The walls are being rapidly completed. It will have a large seating capacity. AN EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION The estimated cost is $150,000. From the looks of things it appeared to me that it would cost something more than that. Still a people, who could build two magnificent churches, with it a stone's throw of each other, if that neighborhood could also erect one of the finest play houses for co-educated people in America. We called at Brown's Savings Bank. The officials were out and the others there were too busy to take notice, so we went on to the C. & O. Wharf where Rev. L. J. Morris proceeded to leave for Richmond. WAS GOOD AT SNORING I didn't intend to expose the preacher, but I might as well say it. He has capabilities for snoring unequalled perhaps by any one in the country with the possible exception of Rew. Charles Stewart lecturer and correspondent who also spent a night or two under Banker Jones roof. The Madame testified that Stewart could be heard from the front room to the rear part of the house where she was trying in vain to sleep. He arose the next morning and wanted to know who it was that had been doing all that snoring that night. This caused Brother Morris to lose the medal that I had about decided to give him. Suffice to say that I had enough for one night and the next time my energetic bed fellow must find some other bed room than the one I oo cupy. OFFICERS TO BE INSTALLED Installation Exercises of King Davids will be held in the Sharon Baptist Church January 26th, at S P. M. A special program has been arranged for the occasion. Be sure and be on hand. —A. G. THOMPSON, G. W. R. Mrs. Florence Parker Entertained. Mrs. Florence Parker and her life the eight year old grand daughter, Miss Constance Roane of Orange, N. J., are the guests of Mrs. Pamie P. Jackson of 1203 W. Moore Street. Mrs. Parker who is Mrs. Jackson's sister in law was the wife of the late Lawyer William Roane of this city. Many informal receptions have been given in their honor. A pretty birthday party in honor of Miss Constance Roane was given Friday evening January 16. The dining room was decorated for the occasion. There were an abundance of freshments and souvenirs for each of the young guest who gathered around the birthday cake with its eight lighted candles. They are leaving Saturday for their home. Card of Thanks I take this method of thanksgiving my neighbors and many friends for their kindness shown me during my illness for the beautiful flowers and trays. May God's richest blessing rest upon each one of them. ---MRS. SALLIE ANNE WHITE--- $80 N. Second Street.

Just four long years ago since mother left me. January brings to my heart a sorrow and a sadness that never can be forgotten, when I remember mother left me in this month. Oft she taught me in childhood days to say, "Thy will be done," while kneeling at her knees, and as one poet says: "Leave thy cares and duties Leave thy race unrun, Christ will show new beauties When His will is done I am sincere in the belief that God's will is done though it pains my heart at times when I allow my mind to trace the human weakness in one's self. Looking away from that to the spiritual side we can but count it a blessed experience through which He calls me to go. Realizing that we shall meet again if I am faithful in that blissful somewhere, in that land where the roses never fade, to be with God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, three in one and spend eternity with mother dear, in the land where no sorrow can invade —Her daughter, Mrs. Alico Gilbert 115 Skith Ayenou, N.

Her latest step towards the goal is that she now has an agency and correspondent for a news paper published "by the Negro for the Negro," with news of her own people each week. This is indeed a splendid opportunity for the people of this section to acquaint themselves not only of what their race is doing in this immediate section, but what they are doing all over the country, and as to how the leaders are thinking of and handling questions pertaining to their race. This paper has as its editor and owner a fearless man, and a "brave man," who is not afraid to express his convictions on any subject. It is circulated over the entire country with agents and correspondents in each section. You are not only showing ing race pride by reading this paper published by such an able editor of your own race, but you are going for ward, keeping pace with the times. —Agent. Mr. James A.

WOOD --- NIP BOMB PLOT IN MAKING Arrest of Radicals Frustrates Conspicuacy to Send Explosives to Prominent People. New York, Jan. 20.—A plot for wholesale assassinations by the distribution of bombs next May Day or Fourth of July is believed by the police to have been frustrated by the arrest in two raids yesterday of eighteen extremists said to be members of the Union of Russian Workers. Public officials, prominent citizens gents of the Department of Justice and police were to be included in the "honor list" of proposed victims it is asserted. The police think the bombs were to have been sent by express or hurled by fanatics. This information was forthcoming today following preliminary investigation of papers seized in the raids. Material for use in the manufacture of bombs, including those of the pipe variety, was found The Union of Russian Workers still exists despite the deportation of Peter Bianki its head here for years and continues its conferences, it was stated, but since Federal and police raids began each meeting has been held at a different apartment or private home. The extent of the plot, believed to have been designed as another bomb demonstration similar to that of last May Day, when Attorney General Palmer and other prominent public men were sent explosive packages through the mail has not been definitely determined. Fifty two more alleged Reds taken in raids here and in Passale and Trenton, N. J. were released from Ellis Island today on bail. According to Miss Rose Weiss an Attorney for 30 seven of the prisoners a bail fund of $150,000 in Liberty Bonds is now available and from now on about 30 a day will be released. $3.00 to $10.00 daily selling Smith's Blood Tonic and Magnetic Cream Linimont.

Lucian B. Watkins Favors a Trial of the Socialist Party. The American Negro who has the heart to write an editorial outlogizing Charles II. Murphy and Tammany Hall must be an interesting subject for a psychological study. Mr. William Bridges in his magazine, The Challenge, December-January number under the caption, "A Negro Tragedy in the New York election, "talks screamingly about the tragedy enacted by his race when it did not vote the Democratic ticket in the last election. I endorse most of what Mr. Bridges says in denouncing the Republican party but cannot sense his expressed approval of the Democratic brand of democracy—even here in New York. I am sure that most persons think it entirely fitting and commendable that the Negro voters supported their own Republican and race nominee. However, even this is of but local impot when compared with the political issue of the hour. The fact is that both the Republican and Democratic parties have ceased to represent the interests of the Lincoln-born laboring masses of America. Between these two parties as they are today, there is little chance that the Negro or any other common voter can make a right or a wrong choice. The eternal shame is that the common people persist in voting against their own interest. Could they see beyond the subtle serpents of photocracy and autocracy they would do the same thing and vote their own people's ticket. I believe that the Socialists of America deserve a fair trial. The Republicans, and the democrats have both gone to seed. Vainly e have voted for them; they have proved themselves unfit as the exponents of a true democracy. The Socialists maintain that they have the solutions for the industrial and economic questions of the day. They talk straight on the Negro problem. Why not give them a trial and a chance to prove what the yas? THE SOCIALIST AND THE NEGRO Mr. John M. Work, in his book, en en titled: What's So and What Isn't, wrote the following chapter on "The Race Problem." What are we Socialists going to do with the Negro? We are going to give him justice along with the rest. The prejudices against the Negro is by no means confined to the South. It is just as strong in the North as it is in the South. The only reason it does not show itself as much in the North is because the Negroes are fewer in number. I do not mean that every body is prejudiced against the Negro. There are exceptions. The blacks are prejudiced against the whites as much as the white against the blacks. And they certainly have good reason to be. This prejudice hates the races is fostered and increased by economic friction. The Negro naturally hates the whites because they quietly and persistently keep him down. A white man hates a Negro who competes with him in business. Under the present system the higher education of the Negro aggravates this condition. A white workmanhates a Negro who competes with him for a job. Under the present system the Industrial education of the Negro aggravates this condition. Negroes are sometimes used by the capitalists as strike breakers. This of course aggravates race prejudice to the point inflammation. When a Negro victim of manifold economic injustice assaults a white woman, this again fans race prejudice into flame. RACE PREJUDICE DEPLORABLE "This race prejudice is deplorable. It is a badge of mediocrity. It shows that in spite of our morovelous advancement we are not developed as far from the beast as we might be. To a highly developed person, race prejudice is a stranger. In a condition of universal enlightenment, race prejudice could not exist. Nevertheless, this race prejudice is a fact. And facts must always be taken into account. The whites brought the Negroes here for economic reasons. The Negroes came against their will. The whites should never forget that fact. However, neither the present generation of whites not the present generation of blacks is to blame for the existence of the race problem. We are all here. Let's solve the problem in a way that will do justice to us all. The Negro is entitled to be guaranteed an opportunity to earn a living, the same as a white man. He is entitled to the full value of his labor, the same as a white man. He is entitled to a vote in the government to which he is compelled to submit, the same as a white man. Socialism will guarantee him the exercise of these rights. Socialism will therefore open to him the avenues to all the higher things of life and give him a chance to develop himself. Socialism will remove the economic friction between the races. A PLEA FOR A NEW PARTY As for the bugaboo of social intercourse, I have shown in the chapter on Communism that Socialism will re lease you from having to associate with the white people who are disagreeable to you, but with whom you are now compelled to associate. In the same manner, Socialism will re lease you from having to associate with black people if they are disagreeable to you. It will also release the Negroes from having to associate with white people. All the Socialist party proposes to do with the Negro is to give him economic Justice. Social gravitation will do the rest. Under the present conditions the Negroes and the whites are compelled to live in the same localities because the Negroes work for the whites. SEPARATION CANCELLED Under Socialism, it will be entirely feasible for the Negroes to live in localities by themselves, if they so desire and run the public industries of those localities. Since Negroes as a rule do not like to associate with the whites, but prefer the company of their own people, it is probable that when Socialism makes their voluntary segregation possible, they will take advantage of it, thus gaining the opportunity to work out their own development, which was so rude wrenched from its natural course by the slave trade of long ago. "Undoubtedly, when the whites no longer need the Negroes about them for economic reasons, many of the whites will also be in favor for the segregation of the races and will as sist the tendency in that direction by that quiet but powerful urge which they have become past masters in all ministering. If segregation takes place it should take place by natural gravitation not by statute law. We have had quite enough attempts to solve the race problem by force. Of one thing we may be certain. Whether segregation takes place or not, the highly cultured men and women of the two races will insist upon perfect freedom of association with each other. They will not be willing to forego the benefits and pleasures of intellectual intercourse in deference to an unworthy prejudice. The white race can well afford to do justice to the black race. It might afford to do more than justice. It certainly cannot afford to do less. The removal of economic friction be tween the races, and the higher development of both white and blacks will cause race prejudice to gradually fade away and finally disappear. A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS I have quoted this entire chapter from Mr. Work's book. I believe it de serves it. For years Socialism has been a voice crying in the wilderness. As a race we have not even investigated it—conscientiously. We have not known that its banner of red symbolizes the martyrdom of blood and the brotherhood of man. We have Creation. --- KHEUMATISM—PAINS—ACHES. The Greatest Opportunity In the world to rid yourself of Rheumatism in any form, or, Pains and Aches of any kind is in HEX LINIMENT.

Care of the Planet EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS I left Richmond at 4 P. M., via C. & O. R. R. Rev. L. J. Morris was rather late in reaching the station and I had secured parlor car reservation for myself in a car that was filled to the limit of its capacity. I was soon on my way to Portsmouth. There were no incidents of note. I polled the station, Toono, where an anxious colored citizen had been adverting for a wife with a babe in her arms, while most of the other colored men I knew did not want a woman if she didn't have a babe in her arms. THE C. & O. STEAMER Arriving at Newport News, Va., I boarded the C. & O Steamer and Rev. L, J. Morris took my hand bag. The boat was filled to its capacity with a mass of humanity white and colored. There is absolutely equal accommodations accorded the races here. I sank into one of the camp chairs and gave way to meditation. Rev. E. H. Hunter the popular candidate for the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church came over and cordially greeted me. We discussed incidents of the past and talked about our hopes for the future. Rev. F. W. Williams and his wife were also among the passengers. Arriving at Norfolk, the crowd disembarked and we remained until the boat reached Portsmouth where we were met by Col. Archer Drew in President Levi C. Brown's seven passenger automobile. A COZY RESIDENCE It was not long before we were inside of the cozy brick residence of this influential citizen of Tidewater. His residence, located at 915 Glasgow street is an attractive brick structure built along the most modern line. It is electrically lighted and gas heated. Modest, but expensive interior fittings and furnishings make a most favorable impression up on the visitor. A massive cathedral clock with musical chimes stands just inside of the doorway. It was here that I was to spend the night. A PROGRESSIVE BANK Later, I visited the Mutual Savings Bank of which Mr. Brown is President, Geo. W. Brandon and M. D. Bullock, Vice Presidents and Makeon Holmes, Cashier. The new structure in Effingham Street has a frontage of about 25 feet, the first story from was replaced with granite. Inside state marble of a most pleasing type with iron grill work tends to invite patons. The vault is of the square door type. When I visited the bank the next morning crowds were surging there in the Christmas Savings Club Department. The officials were assured of a membership of 1500 for this year. AN UP-TO DATE CAFETERIA The patrons and officials were models of quietude and efficiency. I was much pleased with what I had seen. The progress being made quietly along these lines was almost unbelievable. Mr. Tatum's Cafeteria upstairs is admirably conducted. He served some twenty five years in the United States Navy and that he was popular goes without saying. He is one of the best chefs in the United States. On Tuesday morning I went over to Norfolk, in Mr. Jones' car. Before leaving the house, I saw his garage with two swinging doors closing and opening of about 20 feet. I remarked that he had the largest swinging doors that I had ever seen on a building of that size. I noticed a change on his countenance. THOSE LARGE DOORS "The man," who built the garage," he said assured me that those doors would work all right, but they do not. I have the rollers out there to make the change. I was not surprised. It would require two or three men to open the doors, whenever it was necessary to get out his car. He knew this, so he left the door open. When we arrived at the ferry our car was behind a lumber wagon, drawn by two horses. The official waved to us to go to the right while the wagon was sent to the left. It was getting colder, and I felt it keenly. Arriving on the Norfolk side we were soon at the new building of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company. A CROWD OF PATRONS A crowd of patrons were here too. Cashier J. S. Jones recognized us and showed us through this beautiful PRICE, FIVE CENTS structure. They have 11 employees. The fixtures are marble and mahogany finish. They have many machines. They have had a remarkable success. Editor B. P. Young is President of this institution. It took only a short while to go around the corner to the office of The Journal and Guide where we met President Young and his brother. Pressman Robert Alexander is still with the firm. They have a modern plant and are doing first class work. A singular mishap had occurred on the outside. A Ford bus had become entangled with a wagon and every effort to unhook was unsuccessful. LIFTING A WAGON Finally two men lifted one side of the wagon up on the side walk and the horse and wagon went down the street, while the Ford chauffeur cranked until he was exhausted while a steady stream of vehicles lined the way behind him. Just as patience ceased to be a virtue, the Ford engine "couched" and went to work much to the satisfaction of the passeggers who had been patiently waiting for it to move onward. We visited the new theatrical structure for colored people. The walls are being rapidly completed. It will have a large seating capacity. AN EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION The estimated cost is $150,000. From the looks of things it appeared to me that it would cost something more than that. Still a people, who could build two magnificent churches, with in a stone's throw of each other in that neighborhood could also erect one of the finest play houses for cotored people in America. We called at Brown's Savings Bank. The officials were out and the others there were too busy to take notice, so we went on to the C. & O. Wharf, where Rev. L. J. Morris proceeded to leave for Richmond. WAS GOOD AT SNORING I didn't intend to expose the preacher, but I might as well say it. He has capabilities for snoring unequalled perhaps by any one in the country with the possible exception of Rov. Charles Stewart lecturer and correspondent who also spent a night or two under Banker Jones roof. The Madame testified that Stewart could be heard from the front room to the rear part of the house where she was trying in vain to sleep. He arose the next morning and wanted to know who it was that had been doing all that snoring that night. This caused Brother Morris to lose the medal that I had about decided to give him. Suffice to say that I had enough for one night and the next time my energetic bed fellow must find some other bed room than the one I occupy. OFFICERS TO BE INSTALLED Installation Exercises of King Davids will be held in the Sharon Baptist Church January 26th, at 8 P. M. A special program has been arranged for the occasion. Be sure and be on hand. —A. G. THOMPSON, G. W. R. Mrs. Florence Parker Entertained. Mrs. Florence Parker and her little eight year old grand daughter, Miss Constance Roane of Orange, N.J., are the guests of Mrs. Fannie P. Jackson of 1203 W. Moore Street. Mrs. Parker who is Mrs. Jackson's sister-in-law was the wife of the late Lawyer William Roane of this city. Many informal receptions have been given in their honor. A pretty birthday party in honor of Miss Constance Roane was given Friday evening January 16. The dining room was decorated for the occasion.

Colonel Mitchell in charge of the army transport office assed the navy at authorities at Haldax to send tugs to the assistance of the distressed vessel immediately. It was on the Powhatan that former emperor Wilhelm visited England in 1906. At this time he was reputed to have paid the Hamburg American Line $4,250 a day for the use of the liner which was then known as the hamburg. The vessel was used to carry Theodore Roosevelt and his party to Europe in March 1909 when he made his trip to Africa hunting big game. In 1914 the liner was chartered by the American Red Cross to take doctors and nurses to the European war zone and made an number of trips in this capacity under the name Rea Cross. When the United States entered the war in 1917 the Red Cross was renamed the Avian and placed in the transport service. The vessel carried thousands of bodies to Europe and retuera without incident making her last trip on September 23, 1919. CUTTERS SENT TO AID SHIPS. Three revenue cutters from the Boston district, two destroyers from Newport and the two army transports Northern Pacific and the Martha W. Washington have been ordered to proceed immediately to the assistance of the Powhatan. Colonel Mitchell announced. The Northern Pacific and Martha Washington are homeward bound from Brest, France with the last con'ngens of the American expeditionary force. The coast guard cutters Ossipee at Portsmouth, N. H., Auxuset at W. Hoe and Gresham at this port are the other ships ordered tonight to the assistance of the Powhatan. A wireless message received tonig't from the Powhatan stated that her passengers would be transferred to the White Star Liner Cedar as soon as the weather permitted. The message asked that tugs with "heavy towing gear" be dispatched as soon as possible. YARMOUTH OWNED BY NEGROES The Yarmouth flies the colors of Black Star Line Steamship Corporation, the first company of its kind to be owned entirely by Negroes. The officers and crew are of that race, and the original intention of the company's founders was that cargoes would go to Negroes only. The cargo of liquor carried on the Yarmouth consisting of whisky, gin and champagne, is valued at $2,000,-000. She left this port yesterday after enron for Havana with a heavy list to starboard owing to the haste with which longshoremen leaded her in an effort to get her away before probation became effective at midnight Thursday. Revenue agents were at the pier watchdog to see if the ship would put sea before the amendment went into effect, but at midnight there were still two barges filled with cases of liquor alongside and large stacks of it on the pier. The entire shipment was stopped by the revenue agents, but yesterday afternoon the Yarmouth was permitted to proceed with what had been put aboard. About 3,000 cases of liquor said to be worth between $250,000 and $500,000 at present prices were on the per under police guard when the steamship moved out. The communication officer of the Philadelphia navy-yard said tonight that the coast guard outter Hasse, stationed at New York and two steamers had gone to the assistance of the steamer Yarmouth. The distressed vessel sent her S. O. S. from a position twenty four miles e st of North End Lightsh. p or about thirty five miles east of Cape May, N.

Mrs. McFadden had Community Tree placed on the lawn at Third and Henry Street on December 26, 1999 so little was it appreciated by the colored people of Roanoke, knowing too there has never been a community Christmas for colored people here before, with not a penny spent by the Community only asked to bring something to be given to the poor. The white community organizer was there and on sending word to the Head Officials of Community service they readily came to the conclusion to close the work 'at the colored people of Roanoke, as they are not anxious to fere that on you that you do not want. The opportunity that has been given the colored people of Roanoke will never be given them again. In reference to the Community Tree there were some few things given. Mr. Terry of Fifth Avenue gave $1.00 Miss Turnaround feed nurse of the Burrel Memorial Hospital gave $1.00; Mrs. Margurite Burrell, Miss Addi- THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA son and Mrs. Williams each gave sweets; Mrs. Scaley gave a sack of denwear some little girl, gave a duck. Wtn this money food was put in meal, beans, sugar, coffee, potatoes, apples and syrup. Mrs. M. Ardle gave canned peas, soup, canned peaches and macaroni; Mrs. Scaley and Mrs. Milne Taxon helped in tending these things as for as they would go among the needy. I am very grateful to those that have in any way shown their appreciation to the Community Home work and effort to help in the different undertakings and efforts that have been put forth. The Community Home still will re- sume its quarters at 301 North Street. VIRGINIA: In Hustings Court Part II City of Richmond, January 13th, 1920. ALICE G. CARTER,.....Plaintiff VS.

When some folks succeeded, some other folks almost die with envy. We can all get to Heaven, if we do right and try to get there. Do polite and obiging, colored folks It will pay you in the long run. People who please are in demand and those who displease are not wanted. The value of the dollar has decreased and the cost of everything has increased. Engage in business, colored folks It will pay you to engage in the rich kind of business. People who do right are constantly harassed and embarrassed by people who do wrong. The Government is all right, but there are so many people, who run the Government who are all wrong. President Woodrow Wilson's Jackson Day letter shows that while his body may be infirm, his mind is not impaired. The white folks have been so busy fighting each other that many of them have been forced to let up for a while in their abuse of the Negro The Government is employing an army of people now to do nothing. Many of them are most efficient in being present to sign the pay roll. The "good-timers" are still in evidence. They are spending all they make themselves and they are spending all that other people will lend them. Many women keep their husbands and children insured at the expense of many necessities of life and when any of them die it takes well nigh all of the insurance to give them a decent burial. People, who have gone to Heaven do not send back any message about their being there. People, who have gone to Hell do not want to send any message back about their being there. Some women complain that some men do not treat them with respect and some of these same women do not conduct themselves in a manner to win respect from anybody. Do not advise young people, who do not want your advice. Let them learn for themselves and pay the price. They will profit by their own experience much better than they would profit by the experience of some others. It is surprising to note how most young people spurn the advise given by people who have had expert once. By so doing they borrow trouble and become candidates for the grave yard and the poor house. ```markdown ``` A woman, who marries a good man is well off. A woman, who marries a bad man is bad off. She may not be exactly in purgatory, but at times she will wish that she was in the other place. We can rest assured of one thing and that is that President Wilson will not make Hon. William Jennings Bryan an ambassador to any foreign country and that he will not entrust his political interests to the care and keeping of the very able states man of Lincoln, the Nebraska. We cannot understand why Mr. Bryan should want the presidential nomination this trip after Mr. Wilson's managers have put the Democratic political machine out of commission. We have had a hard time getting news-print on which to publish this journal and it looked at one time that we would be forced out of business until conditions changed. All of this is caused by the theorists fuddling with economic conditions and disregarding the fundamental laws of supply and demand. We have received a voluminous circular from Mr. H. A. Clarke, chairman of the Leaguo and Manager of the Robert I. Miller campaign in Washington, protesting against the action of the Republican National Committee in eliminating the primary system for the election of the delegates to the Republican National Convention, by which one white delegate and one colored delegate were elected. He makes out a strong case and it would seem that the plea made should have favorable consideration at the hands of the Republican National Com. Colored citizens are being "crowded to the wall" on all sides and it seems that in a representative form of government they should be accorded recognition. FORESTALLING RACE RIOTS IN GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga.—For some months enemies of America—whether native or foreign matters not—fomented two sets of rumors in Atlanta. One, for white consumption, represented the Negroes as about to "rise" for a masacre of whites; the other, served out to Negroes, charged whites with a plan to "clean out" black Atlanta; and a case of nerves to please any anarchist was being gradually worked up. The remedy which neutralized this process might be applied to similar in flammations elsewhere. The white Ministers' Alliance invited the colored Alliance to a meeting. The joint body adopted a state ment denouncing lawlessness, suspicion and false rumors and promising the churches' aid in ferreting out and silencing agitators. The paper concludes by saying that while no one statement or act can solve race problems "we are confident that by conferences conducted by leaders of both races in the spirit of Jesus Christ, there will be created an atmosphere of mutual confidence and wisdom out of which shall come plans and enterprises for the righting of wrongs and the creation of just opportunities for even the least of our brethren." This statement was read to and adopted by every protestant congregation, white and black, in Atlanta. Conferences of white and colored leaders followed; and a leading daily recently stated that a state of mind has been created in the community "in which a race riot was impossible." THE GIFT OF A PARK. As a sign and seal of the no order the white churches bought a tract of land in the burned district of Atlanta and presented it to the city council for development as a park for Negroes, the first in this great Southern city. The gift was accepted and development will be pushed. A PRESBYTERIAN MOVE The Atlanta Presbytery, while co operating in the above movements, in augurated one of its own. A week of prayer for work among Negroes in the city was appointed. Mr. Little, whose work for Negroes in Louisville has held that city's admiration and support for many years, and Dr. Shon pard, a colored minister, came and smoke in the white churches through out the week. On the last day a young white man of the finest class followed in Mr. Little's steps and was ordained to take charge of the presbytery's work for Negroes in Atlanta. About $5,000 was offered voluntarily for the work during the week. Those interested in the above movements feel that it has been demonstrated that the churches can lead and control public opinion in racial questions if they will act together. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA GRAND CHANCLEAGER MITCHEL DELTAIRE PRESS IN MORGUEZ Norfolk, Va., Jan. 29, 21—Grand Chancellor John Sauer, J. J. 11, Lumbert, Va., was the custor of the Daughters of this a minority last year and the treaty. All of that nature turned out to good him at the fire. Dute Street Baptist North, the war cry from the south, in the mistress, and was to attest at the cozy residence of D. S. tret Deputy Grand Chancellor J. J. D. Sacher 724 Avenue B. The allies of the courts of Calcutta had prepared one of the most magnificent re- sents ever laid in this city. The double partors of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Archer contained a long table extending through both of them and houses the dignitaries of the Order mothered together with other visitors. MANY THERE. Rev, Dr. R. H. Bowling, President B. O. Young, Mr William H. Thoroughgood; Major Wm. H. Tyler, Sir C. D. Tazewel, Hon. G. Jarvis Bowen and others had gathered here for the event. The uniform Rank led by a band of music came to escort the Grand Chancellor to the Bute Street Postal Church where a large crowd had gathered filling even the galleries of that spacious structure. The programme was varied and entertaining. The committee was particularly fortunate in its selection of Its Master of Ceremonies, Sir Edward Irbey, who discharged his duties with absolute satisfaction. FINE PROGRAMME "America" was sung and Rev. Dr. R. H. Bowling delivered the invocation. The choir rendered excellent selections. Prof. D. C. Jacox delivered the welcome address while Mrs. India Johnson delivered the address of welcome on the part of the Courts. Banker P. B. Young delivered an address of welcome on the part of the citizens. The solo by Mrs. Maud Clat borne was a feature. The elasticity of her voice and the ease with which she sang won for her rapturous applause, Rev. Dr. Bowling then delivered a welcome address on behalf of the church. It was timely and admin- ably delivered. OFFICERS INSTALLED A collection was lifted, after which District Deputy Grand Chancellor J. D. Archer and District Deputy Grand Worthy Counsellor took charge while the Grand Chancellor retired, accompanied by Sir Archer Drew and Major Wm. H. Tyler to re enter to install the officers of the lodges and courts. After the officers had been installed Grand Chancellor Mitchell delivered an address that held the audience spell bound for half an hour. At its conclusion Sir J.T. P. Cross paid a glowing tribute to the Grand Chancellor and pledged the support of the members of the Order in Tidewater. A LATE ENTERTAINMENT The benediction was announced by Rev. Dr. Bowling while many gath ered around the Grand Chancellor to grasp his hand and to congratulate him. He and his party visited the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Taze well, where they were entertained un til a late hour. PHILLIPS COUNTY, ARKANSAS NEGROES APPEAL. Transcripts Filed in Cases of Twelve Rioters Convicted of Murder. Transcripts of appeal in the cases of the 12 Negroes convicted in the Phillips County Circuit Court recently on a charge of first degree murder growing out of the insurrection in that county and sentenced to be elec tructured were filed in the Supreme Court yesterday: The filing of the appeals acts as a stay of execution of the judgment in each case until it is finally disposed of. There were six transcripts filed, one containing the appeals or the five Negroes tried at one time. Each of two other transcripts filed was for two of the defendants, the oth er three being for one defendant each. Five of the Negroes were to have been electrocuted January 27, and the date for the execution of the seven others was fixed for February 2. Governor Brough recently granted stays of execution for 30 days to each defendant to enable them to prepare soon as the cases are submitted to the court it is expected that a date for the hearing on oral argument will be announced. Should the Supreme Court affirm the decisions of the low court Governor Brough will be required to fix the date of their execution, unless he should commute their sentences to terms in the penitentiary.—Arkansas Gazette, January 10, 1920. NEGRO EDUCATION AND SOCIAL EQUALITY. The recent statements sent out to their own people from representative gatherings of Negroes in a number of states contain a recurrent protest against the mistaken belief that educated Negroes desire social relations with white people. The ground of this protest is both significant and hopeful. Time was when a Negro would repudiate with horror the implication that he thought himself fit for such association. It may that the memory of this humiliation remains with us as an internal part of the other day Negro attitude toward the que tion so that now, when self depreciation has disappeared the attitude is regarded as necessarily changed. Certainly the outstanding fact in these statements, from Virginia to Virginia is a new pride of race. The educated Negroes want it understood by their own people and by everybody else, that they are satisfied to be Negroes that they believe that Negroes and Negroes only can furnish what Negroes want in home and so life. To suppose that their high or sat station can come through an effort to force themselves on another one comes to them a slur on their own people. We are perfectly pleased and salts fied one typical group declares, with our own society; with colored boys marrying colored girls; with the com monship of our own people in our homes; with the building up of our own social institutions, such as church, schools and the like. We are just as averse as are white people to forc ing ourselves upon people who do not desire our presence." The educated Negroes who would not subscribe to this statement are very few, and attract disproportionate notice. In studying the present situation the conclusion seems unscapable that the education of Negroes, like that of other races, develops a race consciousness and a race pride which find increasing satisfaction in the life of their own people. The mass of evidence shows that the instinct for racial separateness is powerfully reinforced by racial development. In speeding up their educational program for Negroes, as nearly every state is doing, the South is building its strongest racial bulwarks for the benefit of white and black alike: it is on the lowest levels of both races that race lines are ignored. The way out is evidently not supression, but fuller development. PLAYGROUNDS IN BALTIMORE. Baltimore is probably the leading Southern city in the provision for supervised play. The local playground Association has been at work for a number of years and public approval of its work is shown by the city at appropriation of $25,000 for its yearly budget. This sum is for the fourteen park playgrounds and for the recreation pier. One of these playgrounds is for colored children. The Association also maintains 28 stations for play guilds and story centres, four of which are e for colored children; three school playgrounds for white children and four for colored and several churchyard and institutional playgrounds. For the work outside the parks the Baltimore public contributes $10,000. ORGANIZE TO DEFEND COLORED MEN IN ELAIN) RIOTS. Citizen's Defense Fund Commission Organized in 1971 eRock Arkansas. Several days ago leading Negroes from all parts of the state of Arkansas assembled in the city of Little Rock and organized the Citizen's Defense Fund Commission. The personnel of the Commission is as follows: Dr. J. G. Thornton, Chairman; J. H. McConico, Secretary; Dr. H. W. Suggs, Treasurer; Rev. J. P. Robinson and Rev. R. M. Caver. The object for which this Commission was created is to raise funds to conduct the defense of the $7 Negroes convolted in connection with the recent race trouble in Phillips County, Arkansas. The men composing this commission are well established citizens of wide acquaintance and represent the very highest type of spiritual, professional and business activi Twelve of the Negroes convicted in connection with the Phillips County trouble have been sentenced to die in the electric chair and 75 to serve sentences in the Arkansas penitentiary ranging from five to twenty-one years. Negroes throughout the state and nation feel that these Negroes should be given full opportunity to prove their guilt or innocence and in view of that fact Counsel have been employed to fight the cases to the end. A few days ago a motion was filed in the Phillips County Circuit Court for a new trial. The motion was over rulen. On January 9th an appeal was taken to the Arkansas Supreme Court for a new trial. Every effort will be made to defend the rights of these Negroes both in the State and Feder courts. To fight these cases through the courts will require a large sum of money, and the Citizen's Defense Flnd Commission is now calling up on Negroes throughout the country to contribute to this Fund. The Negroes in every community are requested to make contributions through some well established organization like the church, club, benevolent, civic associations etc., or send contributions direct to the Secretary, J. H. MCCONICO, Box 113 Little Rock, Ark. In this matter the race must act and act at once. Contributions should be made and remitted promptly in order that the progress of the defense be not handicapped for lack of funds. 1000 AGENTS WANTED!

BRIGHTEN YOUR COMPLEXION And Make Your Skin as Soft and Smooth as That of a Baby What would you spend if you knew some beauty specialist could make your dark complexion many shades brighter, remove the blenishes and make your skin clear and smooth? Money would be no object, for above all things you want to be attractive, to look your best. A clear, smooth skin and a radiant complexion are, therefore, of the greatest importance to you. Long ago realizing the need of some preparation that would enable ambitious people to make themselves more attractive, skin specialists and chemists were put to work to perfect a compound that people could use at home to brighten their complexion. After many tests and experiments, extending over a period of years, the Black and White Beauty Treatment was offered the public. This home treatment consists of Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap. The Ointment is mixed and applied in before bedtime and washed off the next morning.

These enemies have, for selfish reasons given Socialism a bad name; we have believed them—and without question. This does not speak well for our intelligence. It seems to me that Socialism in its principles is even more than a political party—it is the religion of Christ's Golden Rule. The truth that a man advocates is more than the man—it is absolute. A man may not mean what he says, but if he speaks the truth that truth may save a lost world. We have tried both the Republican and the Democrat in parties They have failed us. Let us link up with the Socialists and find out just what is in their guaran tees of justice. I hope that many voters of my race may begin to think seriously on this subject. The writer has never voted for Socialism, but has reached the point where he is will ing to give it an honest trial. —LUCIAN B. WATKINS, 424 Sixth Avenue, New York City, N. Y.

In 1896 it was his proposal of free coinage of silver at the heaven-born ration of 16 to 1 that carried him off. In 1900 it was his favoring of a scuttle policy in the Philippines that resulted in even worse disaster. In 1908 it was his opposition to the administration and ideals of President Theodore Roosevelt that caused Tuff's election. And now he is facing 1920 with high hopes. He favored prohibition. Therefore every ardent prohibitionist will be for him. He favored woman suffrage. Hence every woman will vote for him. He was and is for peace. So every pacifist will be for him.

Portsmouth, Va., Jan. 20, 1920.—A large and enthusiastic meeting was held here tonight at the Ebenezer Baptist Church under the auspices of Cyrenan Lodge No. 215 Knights of Pythias N. A., S. A.; E. A. and A. Sr. Walter Greene, Chancellor Commander, Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., accompanied by Deputy Grand Chancellor L. J. Morris arrived here yesterday afternoon at 7:30 via C, and O. R. R. They were met by District Deputy Grand Chancellor Archer Drew, who was in Banker Levi C. Brown's car. Rev. Dr. E. H. Hunter and Madame came over on the same steamer and were carried to their residence. The visitors were conveyed to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Levi C. Brown 915 Glasgow where they were made comfortable. Later, they visited the Mutual Savings Bank, inspecting the same and then dinner was served up stairs in Tatenza Cafeteria. It was after 9 P. M. when Grand Chancellor Mitchell and his party arrived at the church. As they entered they were enthusiastically greeted. Sir George Tynes was master of core monies. The choir rendered choice selections to the satisfaction of all present. Invocation was offered by Rev. L. J. Morris. The features of the entertainment were the Elk's Quartette, the rendition by Mrs. Reed, the solo by Mrs. Josephine Morgan, the address by Attorney Wm. M. Reid, the introducing address by Rev. Dr. R. G. Adams and finally the ringing address by Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. He was outspoken in commendation of the persons on the programme. The singing by the Elk's Quartette, the choir, Mrs. Morgan and the rendition "When Malinda Sturge" had appealed to him. He then discussed the Pythian situation in the State. He interspersed his remark with humorous anecdotes and complimented the members of the Order upon the unanimity of their support. The audience sat spellbound under the influence of his oratory. It was nearly 11:30 before the exercise were concluded and even then the people seemed loth to go. Grand Chan celler Mitchell was congratulated. He will speak in Norfolk at the Bute Street Baptist Church tonight. GRAND LODGE WON THE CASE. Dauville, Va., Dec. 13.—An interesting case was staged in the Court here yesterday, when AttorneyJ . C. Carr pressed the suit of Otis Doughlass' heirs against the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia for the proceeds or a $150.00 policy. The defense was represented by Attorney Harry Wooding. The widow was not in court, but she was represented by Undertak er Brooks, who evidently wanted the amount to defray the burial expenses. The deceased at the time of his death was in inarcases in taxes, dues and assessments to the amount of $4.86. $3.00 unbenefits the member in the subordinate lodge and in all other departments of the Order. The books and the testimony of a former officer of the lodge showed that this was the amount due. District Deputy Grand Chancellor testified on the stand that he had seen the financial book of the deceased and it showed that he owed 50 cents more than the lodge showed that he owed. The defense practically produced no witnesses, only the undertaker or testifying. The policy on its face showed that the failure to pay 75 cents made the policy null and void. On motion of the defense's counsel, the case was taken from the jury and submitted to Judge Brown, the very able jurist who presided and he deided in favor of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., was present and testified as to the law of the Order. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Rison during his stay here, leaving last night for Richmond. Another feature of the case was the fact that the Bureau of Insurance had previously decided the case in favor of Golden Link Lodge and the Grand Lodge of Virginia, al though this fact was not brought out in the trial. Mrs. Frances Hardy, of Chase City, Va. spent a few weeks here visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. Hardy is a representative of Salline Pain Cure, a salve put up by Mrs. Sallie S. Cephas, of this city. VIRGINIA—In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, the 3rd day of January 1920. CELIA OWENS.....Plaintiff against In Chancery.
