Then we turned into Johnson Avenue. I saw that it was the Book I saw that my friend was pursued. I had stepped up to Mr. and Mrs. John O. Archer's residence before me and would know the house if I saw it, but I did not see grow it because I could say was the one in which I had been be cated. ALL PUZZLED The chapelfour was puzzled too. Finally I learned to know of the Colbert house, did not out and make enquiries about the residence of my niece A lady vouchesafed the inborn that he resided in the third house on the other side of the street. I knew that the John D. Archer that I knew resided on the opposite side of some street in Humterville. When I vaulted out of the car and tried to locate myself on my own hook, I was informed by a child that came to the door that the parents were out. Mr. R. C. Archer resided there, but I was looking for Mr. John D. Archer. THE TELEPHONE BOOK Then I remembered the telephone book and went to a corner grocery, where I found out that my friend Ived on Avenue B. We started to find it and as we drove up, I recogized the house and in a moment was in through the front door, where my friends had gathered. They had be come anxious about me. I explained my troubles and then gazed at a magnificently prepared repast, served on a table that extended through the two double parrons, while some of the leading citizens in Norfolk were there to greet me. I went up stairs to my room and met a delegation and prepared for the supper be low and the address that I was to deliver afterwards. MAJOR TYLER'S GREETING I enjoyed myself and I felt like "a new man." When I saw Major W. H. Tyler, with that extended line of the Uniform Rank with a brass band in the lead, I was even more inspired. They had come to escort me to the Rute Street Baptist Church, pastored by that brilliant young divine, Rev. Dr. R. H. Bowling. I selected to go down in beauty John D. Archer's car. I saw the head lights at the side entrance but labor as he would that car refused to move. He was embarrassed and I saw it. I knew the history of the average automobile and I elected to walk and let the car overtake me. "SAW THE PROPERTY I walked and had gone several week.

EASY FOREIGN VESSELS I knew many of N.Y. City High School students who were mostly in the middle school. I had to tell them that we would not be able to come to the school on the third day. Over that time we were able to come to school on the third day. I had to teach the students to read and I had to teach the students to write and we can now win to the school. I had to be N.Y.

They did not do so, he they took the matter up with the conduct and the game was discontinued. I discussed many phases of the race question with Mr. Iurey. He was disposed to be possessive. He looked in him that in the number of race jobs, justice the colored people were losing around. I did not see it that way, taking the view that just in proportion, is colored people made progress, the criticism would invenure. INDICATIONS OF PROGRESS To put it plainly, the troubles that confronted us were but barometric in directions of our progress. I had a most pleasant journey and when I arrived at the Main Street Station, I vaulted into a seven passenger automobile, driven by Charles Bailey and was soon at the Planet Office.

Mr. Rose was about 54 years of age and was for many years a member of the Ethenez Baptist Church, Caroline County, having transferred his membership for convenience to the Oxford Zion Baptist Church for the last few years. Mr. Rose was an excellent trainman having served as brakeman for the R, F, and P, R, R, Co., for many years.

UNJUSTLY ACCUSED One of the most remarkable cases of rank injustice was brought to our attention by Doster Hamilton, of Savannah, Georgia. He came to this city and was arrested September 28th, 1919 upon a charge of house-breaking. He was kept in jail from that time until January 12, 1920, practically having no one to prove his innocence. He was found to be not guilty and the man who originally identified Linn admitted that he was mistaken. The case cost him over one hundred dollars and Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr., re-presented him. He secured high endorsement from the Savannah Branch of Hines, Jones, Cadbury, Co., of this city and also from the Savannah Poweridge and Ice Co., for which concerns he had worked.

National Honor and Tradition Forbid Surrender, Note Says. WOULD BE "BETRAYAL" Attention is Called to Fuel Country Was a Neutral During the War. Might Access to Tribunal Organized Under the League of Nations. Paris, Jan. 22. The Dutch Minister delivered Holland's reply to the Allies' demand for extradition of the former German Emperor to the Foreign Office at 5:30 P. M. today. It is a flat refusal to deliver the form or Kaiser, in which Holland declares that she cannot be bound by the peace treaty, to which she is not a party. Neither the Dutch constitution nor tradition permit of her acceding to the demand of the allied Powers, the note sets forth. The national honor it is declared does not permit the betrayal of the confidence of those who entrusted themselves to Holland and her free institutions. TEXT OF DUTCH REPLY Following is the reply of the Netherlands Government to the Entente Powers: By verbal note dated January 15, 1920 given to the envoy of the Queen at Paris, the Powers, referring to Article 697 of the Treaty o Versailles des mand that the Government of Holland give into their hands William of Hohenzollern former Emperor of Germany so that he may be tried. Supporting this demand they observe that if the former Emperor had remained in Germany the German Government would under the terms of Article 228 of the treaty of peace have been obliged to deliver him. In citing as promulgated violations of international treaties as well as systematic disregard of the most sacred rules of the rights of man a number of acts committed during the war by German authority the Powers place the responsibility at least morally up on the former Emperor. They express the opinion that Hot land would not fulfill her international duty if she refused to associate her self with them within the limit of her ability to pursue or at least not to impede the punishment of crimes committed. They emphasize the special characters of their demands which contemplate a judicial accession but an act of high international policy and they make an appeal to Holland's respect of law and love of justice not to cover with her moral authority violation by Germany of the essential principles of the solidarity of nations. The Queen has the honor to observe A REVELATION ! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucenda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and saw dreams and visions; was commanded by God to write the wonders she saw into a book. This book tells about the seven year famine that began in 1917 and will last for seven years and extends to the foreign lands. She saw also a series of diseases rage among the people and saw them starving and dying so fast that there were not enough living left to burry the dead, and this is already in the land.

REMAINED ALWAYS NEUTRAL The Government of the Queen moved by impressible reasons, cannot view the question raised by the demand of the Powers except from the point of view of its own duty. It was absolutely unconnected with the origin of the war and has maintained and not without difficulty its now truity to the end. It finds itself then face to face with facts of the war in a position different from that of the Powers. It rejects with energy all suspicion of wishing to cover with its sovereign right and its moral authority violations of the essential principle of the solidarity of nations but cannot relegate an international duty to reconcile the United States and of birth, international policy of the United States. If in the future there should be in situated by the Society of Nations an international tribunal competent to judge in case of war, deeds qualified by crime and submitted to its justice diet on by statute instituting the rights committed, it would be fit for Hella de re associate herself with the new regime. The Government of the Queen can not admit in the present case any other duty than that imposed upon it by the laws of the kingdom and nation at tradition. Now, neither the constituent laws of the kingdom which are based upon the principles of law universally recognized, nor a respectable secular tradition which has made this country always a ground of refuge for the vanquished in international conflicts permit the Government of Holland to defer to the desire of the Powers by withdrawing from the former Emperor or the benefit of its laws and this trait on. Justice and national honor, of which respect is a sacred duty, oppose this. The Netherlands people moved by the sentiments to which in history the world has done justice, could not betray the faith of those who have confided themselves to their free institutions. The Government of the Queen is pleased to believe that the Powers will recognized the good grounds of these considerations, which rise above any consideration of personalities and which seem to it so peremptory that they could not reasonably give rise to wrong interpretations." SEN. SMOOT REPORTS NAVAL H THOMAS TO THE SCHOOL AUTHORITIES. Fails to Bluff Fearless Agitator. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah who demanded on the floor of the senate that Howard University remove a book on Bolshevism from its library and forced the colored community center to cancel a lecture at the Dunbar L.I.Gh School by Messrs.

Thomas was to preside has asked that the school board remove Mr. Thomas, from his position because he aided in getting up the meeting and after the school was closed to them aided in securing a large auditorium and declared his intention to preside and 'speak his peace.' The colored community turned out to adm'nister a severe rebuke to Czariem. The large auditorium was over crowded.

In his opening remarks Mr. Thomas said, "If Senator Reed Smoot could read he could see 'the hand writing on the wall' which spells the doom of that attorney he seeks to uphold. He would know that persecution only brings converts to the cause it seeks to crush and that closing schools to truth and libraries to books cannot destroy the hated of expression that burns in the human heart.

THE QUESTION OF COLOR Senator Sumit is on the civil service committee of the senate, yet no one has ever known him to be patriotic enough to defend our civil service from the color line there which is paralyzing its efficiency. He is one of the leaders of the party of Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Douglas yet the great principle of freedom upon which it was found have escaped his notice. He is over zealous, however, in suppressing our discontent about our grievous wrongs. The wrongs do not worry him. Our groom do. Even the restraint in the senate of the capital over which he has complete control has recently excluded the colored public from service there.

On the 25th and 26th of January Beulah A. M. E. Church held her mortgage burning Jubilee. To say the least it was a grand affair. Sunday morning at 11:30 A. M. the pastor, Rev J. R. Augustus, B. D. preached to a solitoid audience, using as a text, Rom, 15th, 13th, Theme: "Hone Abounding." In the afternoon at 3:30 Rev. C. E. Burrell, D. D. pastor of the Baptist Church (white) broke the bread of life, to an appreciative gathering. We were also favored with songs at this hour, rendered by a quartette of white friends, Mr. Asa Jenkins, leader. They lifted us into the glory of the heaven lies by their sweet music. At night our presiding Elder, Rev. Jno. H. Ross, D. D. Rev. J. C. Williams, D. D. of Prospect. Va., and Rev, Dr. Wiley and his good people were with us, and surely we had a high time in Zion, Rev. Jno. H. Ross delivered the discourse to the delight of all present. The sermon stirred our souls and the Holy Spirit was with us. After remarks by Revs. Wiley, Williams and pastor, a splendid offering was lifted. Benediction by Rev. Dr. Wiley. Monday night January 26th will be a night long to be remembered by Boulah and her friends. It was our Mortgage Burning night. The affair was unique, beautiful, and impressive. The addresses delivered by Mr. Nathaniel Griggs, on behalf of the Trustees, Mrs. Elberta Anderson on behalf of the Stewards and Rev. Dr. Wiley on behalf of the Baptist Church were eloquent and filled with food for thought, both present and future. The rest of the program under the management of Mrs. Pearl Madden was sublime, and the choir was at its host. The songs by the quartette led by Mr. Jno. Wesley Holmes, our undertaker, the Solos rendered by Mrs. Berta Scott and Mr. C. E. Bossieux and the Violin Solo by Mr. Jos. Early were all of a high order. After remarks by Revs. Wiley, Williams, Ross and Pastor, Rev. Augustus, we then proceeded to burn the mortgage papers. Under a beautiful decorated booth, decorated by Mrs. Delilah Smith, Mrs. M. J. Augustus and others the papers were burned over the urn placed in the center inside the chancel. Rev. J. C. Williams, D. D., of Prospect, Va., presented the papers to the pastor. Then after a short prayer he stood in the middle, with Rev. Williams on his left and Rev. Wiley on his right, all three of the divines holding the bundle of papers. And then while the choir sang "The Church is one foundation," the officers with lighted candles marched with solemn tread led by Trustee Joe Madden around the altar, each one applying his lighted candle to the papers. Then they formed into a circle and solemn wafted until the papers were entirely consumed. The scene said many was the most impressive of its kind ever witnessed. The inshes were placed in little ilk bage, (made for the occasion) by Mr. A. P. Farrar, and Mr. Gay Miles, and sold for 25 cents each as a memento. A delightful banquet was served in the banquet of the church to the large crowd present by Mrs. Mary Holmes and her excellent commitee Mrs. John Wedey Holmes was the Organist and Mr. Purnell Watkins was the Teast Marter.

Hampton scored first and led for the first few moments, but their joy was short lived, as the first half ended 17 to 6, in favor of St. Christo pher. The second half began with St. Christopher again leading in the score The Hampton rooters, losing all hope of winning the game, began to enjoy the sensational playing of the visitors.

Then after a short prayer he stood in the middle, with Rev. Williams on his left and Rev. Wiley on his right, all three of the divines holding the bundle of papers. And then while the choir sang "The Church is one foundation," the officers with lighted candles marched with solemn tread led by Trustee Joe Madden around the altar, each one applying his lighted candle to the papers. Then they formed into a circle and solemn waited until the papers were entirely consumed. The scene said mary was the most impressive of its kind ever witnessed. The ashes were placed in little lilith kiks, made for the excavation by Mr. A. F. Furur and Mr. G. Mice, and gold for 25 cents each as a memorial.

The "Red and Black Machine" lved up to its reputation for wonderful team work. Its passing and shooting, not only thrilled the spectators, but at times took its opponents off their feet. Hampton scored first and led for the first few moments, but their joy was short lived, as the first half ended 17 to 6, in favor of St. Christopher. The second half began with St. Christopher again leading in the score The Hampton rooters, losing all hope of winning the game, began to enjoy the sensational playing of the visitors. This victory places St. Christopher and Hampton on an even basis. In the six games played, both have 3 victories to their credit. The victors excelled in every de partment of the game and gave one of the finest exhibitions of basketball ever seen here. Although the game was hard played, it was free from roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct. The line up was as follows: HAMPTON 14— ST. CHRISTOPH- ER.—30. Phillips (C.) P. F. Capers McLaren L. F.

NUMBER 13 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS THE EDITOR VISITS TIDENWATER VIRGINIA. The colored citizens of Norfolk have organized another savings bank, airl Frank, Trusty is president and it learned that the Grimalt airl. K. J. Kyle will give up this position in the Navy Yard to become the captain. They have purchased a building on County street and this structure was being remedied. They were fit up the compartments and had escaped a vault. Rev. R. G. Adams, D. D. is also active in promoting the new venture. They have a large Board of Directors. THE LEADING PROMOTERS The leading promoters were formerly connected with the Mutual Savings Bank, Ct. Archer Drew had devoted much time to my entry into employment although I did not get an opportunity to visit his residence. After my Wesim M. Reid took robust and energetic. He took lunchroom with me or I took luncheon with him and President Levi C. Brown. I met my good friend George Williams, who for years has given to me many fitted support in conjunction with President Brown's brother. That evening in President Jones' car and in company with Ct. Drew, I gifted for Norfolk. We had to cross the ferry. My e-mission insisted that he knew exactly where Deputy John D. Archer rec'd in *Huntsville, Norfolk and I made my self content.* FINDING MR. ARCHER'S HOUSE We went down Church street and then we turned out on account of the bracketed condition of the streets due to repairs being made. Col. Drew said that Mr. Archer lived in Johnson Avenue. I did not dispute him. He lived in that section and I did not. I had to deliver an address that night and I was thinking about that. He said the number was 101. Then we turned into Johnson Avenue. I saw that it was the 800 block. I saw that my friend was puzzled. I had stopped at Mr. and Mrs. John D. Archer's residence before and would know the house if I saw it, but I did not see any house that I could say was the one in which I had been lecated. ALL PUZZLED. The chauffeur was puzzled too. Finally I wished to know of the Colonel who he did not get out and make enquiries about the residence of my loss敏yu. A lady vouchsafed the information that he resided in the third house on the other side of the street. I knew that the John D. Archer that I knew resided on the opposite side of some street in Hume tersville. When I vaulted out of the car and tried to locate myself on my own hook, I was informed by a child that came to the door that the parents were out. Mr. R. C. Archer resided there, but I was looking for Mr. John D. Archer. THE TELEPHONE BOOK Then I remembered the telephone book and wont to a corner grocery, where I found out that my friend lived on Avenue B. We started to find it and as we drove up, I recognized the house and in a moment was in through the front door, where my friends had gathered. They had be come anxious about me. I explained my troubles and then gazed at a magnificently prepared repast, served on a table that extended through the two double parrons, while some of the leading citizens in Norfolk were there to greet me. I went up stairs to my room and met a delegation and prepared for the supper be low and the address that I was to deliver afterwards. MAJOR TYLER'S GREETING I enjoyed myself and I felt like "a new man." When I saw Major W. H. Tyler, with that extended line of the Uniform Rank with a brass band in the lead, I was even more inspired. They had come to escort me to the Bute Street Baptist Church, pastored by that brilliant young divine, Rev. Dr. R. H. Bowling. I selected to go down in Deputy John D. Archer's car. I saw the head-lights at the side entrance but labor as he would that car refused to move. He was embarrassed and I saw it. I knew the history of the average automobile and I elected to walk and let the car overtake me. "SAW THE PROPERTY I walked and had gone several I was, when I was halled by Mr Archer in his Hudson car. The other part of the trip was without incident. I arrived at the church in time to welcome the marching thunder. There was a large crowd out. I enjoyed the programme, the singing was superb. Sir C. D. Tazewel had been whispering to me. He wandered to see it in property on Church Street. I was glad he did so although I was 120 the next morning before we completed our seventh. The Dud on car halled at times, but without further fire at it. THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Mr. Archer seemed to be of the opinion that the car gave him trouble because he had recently had it re-joiced. He told of his having loaded his car out recently too, for a party to take a little outing. It cost him not the person to whom he handed the car just about $300.00. The other fellow promised to pay, but friend Archer had to "f of the bILL." I know all about that kind of experience, so this information did not interest me. I had my own car troubles. I slept that right, forgetful of all of my Ri hmond troubles. AN INDUSTRIOUS MADAME. I failed to state that when we arrived at the Archer home, Mrs. Archer was basically engaged in sleeping in the house so as to have "a running start" the next morning. Our late arrival therefore occasioned no comment. I did not have much time to make the C. and O. beat the next morning. Mr. Archer was taking a chance. I had visions of the trouble of the night before and I laughingly contended the Mad me that I might be back for lunch there. I do not know the route over which I traveled, but Mr. Archer got me to the wharf just five minutes before leaving time. MANY FOREIGN VESSELS. I saw many vessels in Hampton Roads. They were mostly foreign vessels. I heard a white traveller say "That is the only six missed vessel in the world." I looked in the direction and counted the masts of this sailing vessel. Over that large expense of water we travelled until Newport News was reached and I boarded the train and was soon on my way to Richmond. I met Rev. S. S. Furr, in company with his Madame. She had lost her sister and they were enroute to attend the funeral. Two white officers, having in charge two colored solders, who were in same sat in the end seat playing cards. He went to them and requested that they desist, as his Madame was in the car. They did not do so. He then took the matter up with the conductor and the game was discontinued. I discussed many phases of the race question with Mr. Furr. He was posed to be pessimist. It looked to him that in the matter of race prejudice the colored people were losing ground. I did not see it that way, taking the view that just in proportion as colored people made progress, the friction would increase. INDICATIONS OF PROGRESS To put it plainly, the troubles that confronted us were but barometric in directions of our progress. I had a most pleasant journey and when I arrived at the Main Street Station. I vaulted into a seven passenger automobile, driven by Charles Bailey and was soon at the Planet Office. JOHN MITCHEL, JR.

The darkly troubled Night Seems portent of a storm. Some brooding sin Seems threatening now, where peace's sweet hope has been There is no peace. Mad men have had their fight,— Have boomed their hate-filled tragedies of might And died amid the scarlet doom and din. There is no peace—while nations war to win Their selfish aims, each in the name of Right. Behold! the Hand is writing on the wall The same old warning in the words but few: "Weighed and found wanting!" Ah, the King must fall,— That Mammon-God upraised by Satan's crew! This is the travail; Truth will be the Morn,— This great Iconoclast is being born. Laid to Rest. Ruther Glen, Va., Feb. 2.—Mr. Robert Rose died suddenly Monday, January 26th, 1920. It is thought that his death was due to natural causes, but no one knows just what caused his death since there was no medical examination held. Mr. Rose was about 54 years of age and was for many years a member of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Caroline County, having transferred his membership for convenience to the Oxford Zion Baptist Church for the last few years. Mr. Rose was an excellent trachman having served as brakeman for the R, F, and P. R. R., Co., for many years. Some few years ago he gave up his position as brakeman and turned his attention to its farm at which business he was very successful. Mr. Rose leaves a widow, one son six sisters, two grand-children and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Interment in Oxford Zion. ON TO SIXTH MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.

An Unique One-Man Concert. Prof. R. Alonzo Scott, of Sheffield, England the oft-poet, humorous educator of the geograph and scholarly entertainer a rare audience, at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, last Monday night. He gives a "one man concert" and it is an interest amusing, entertaining and instructive as though he had a full orchestra. He carries with him "a siltene organ" that weighs just forty pounds and when he open it up on a pubitl where the sacred, desk usually is found, the and once will find every minute one of renewed interest. REMARKABLE SHOWING For two hours, he entertained those who were lucky enough to hear him. Outside, the sleet was bad, but people's virtually ceil on the ice in order to get inside of that spacious house to listen to him. He is a great poet. He told me used to in verse and practically seventy five per cent of what he said was or original. He makes no charge for the entertainment. All he asks is a hearing and he leaves it to the audience as to the size of his compensation. They pay him too, if we go to judge by the accuracy with which men, women and children came forward to lay their donations on the table. It is generally conceived that his equal along this particular line has not been seen in this country. He enjoys the unique distinction of being master of a white church in Chester field, Fulham. He was president of Prumpton Academy of Music in England for many years. He was the first coedent handmaster in the Unit States Army. He has spoken seven languages and his tour is meeting with much success. His lecture is racial and elevating and no one should miss the opportunity of hearing him. --- WED AT 15; CAN'T TAKE JOB Fairmount Youth, Not of Age to Work, Held for Nonsupport Pairmount, W. Va. Jan. 29.—Married at 15 to a girl four years his senior, presented by law from securing a job and then arrested for non support, is the strange prefecture in which Lester Morgan of the city, finds himself. Because of his youth the State law not permitting children under 16 to work, he could not secure employment in West Virginia, and so went to Woodsfield, Ohio, for a job. It was while in Woodsfield he learned he had been indicted here and he come home and was arrested. He is now past 16 but was married to Desire Smallwood, of Colfax about a year ago. --- ATTENTION Voters of Madison Ward You are requested to meet at the Third Street Methodist Church Friday February 13, 1920, S o'clock P.

Lexington, Ohio, Feb. 1.—A letter addressed to Mrs. John Mason Brown in care of Mrs. Thornton, was delivered by a postman a few days ago to George R. Hunt attorney of this city who now occupies the old Thornton house. The letter was mailed at MFord, Mass., September 11, 1898. Local Post Office employees are unable to account for the twenty six year delay in delivery. Mrs. John Mason Brown to whom the letter was addressed is dead, and Mr. Hunt will forward it to her daughter. Miss Margaret Brown who now lives in New York. UNJUSTLY ACCUSED One of the most remarkable cases of rank injustice was brought to our attention by Doster Hamilton, of Savannah, Georgia. He came to this city and was arrested September 29th, 1919 upon a charge of house-breaking. He was kept in jail from that time up until January 12, 1920, practically having no one to prove his innocence. He was found to be not guilty and the man who originally identified him admitted that he was mistaken. The case cost him over one hundred dollars and H. H. M. Smith, Jr., presented him. He secured high endorsement from the Savannah Branch of Haines, Jones, Cadbury, Co., of this city and also from the Savannah Beveridge and Ice Co., for which can cerns he had worked. He is now employed in Ginter Park and s much wrought up by his terrible experience. HE WANTS A WIFE The following correspondence explains itself: Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor, The Richmond Planet, City. Dear Sir.—Attached hereto letter from Joseph Wm.

Hoping to hear from you by return of mail, I remain JOSIPH WM. CHROMELL 185 1-2 Hymen Street, Care of Mrs. J. Anscomb. London, Ontario. TWO (By Robert Dangerfield Crawley.) It's an old max m, it's invariably true. The maximum m is now known. That what one man has done another hath a chance to do. The it has been disputed and doubt remaineth still. Nothing is impossible with an indom- table will. This is free man's country, why not have what you please? Money, office, land distinction, you can reach them all with ease Opportunities are willing that you take what they await! Mundane things are temporary, take up where the others fail. Success comes in Caps not Can'ts it's at auction every day. What will you offer? Decide? wishes es are worthless they won't pay. Luck versus brains and science cannot get you up the hill. Possible ties are free, exert the pow- ers of your will. Arouse men: Alim your ambitions no private turrets, all are free. Blank spaces in the Hall of Fame are waiting just for you and me. Millions of other fellows compet- ing with you? True: driving, schooling, during, doing showing talent why not you? A DESPOTISM OF POLITICIANS. Eighty-five years ago Alexis de Trequeville, the most philosopher of all students of American institutions, wrote this warning to the American people. If ever the free institutions of America are destroyed, that event may be attributed to the omnipotence of the majority which at some future time may have an omniority to desperation and oligism them to have recourse to physical force. Anarchy will then be the result, but it will have been brought about by despotism. The despotism that is now engaged in fleeing the American people along the road to anarchy has not even the merit of being a despotism of the majority. It is really he despotism of professional politicians who have never received a mandate from the majority and are engaged in grossly abusing the power entrusted to them. No majority of the people of New York ever demanded the exclusion of the Socialist members from the Assembly on the ground that the Socialist platform is 'absolutely in moral to the best interests of the State of New York and of the United States." The people of this State never dreamed of such a proceeding. It was the invention of Sweet and Newton and Lusk and a crew of Republican office-holders who thought they could manufacture a patriotic issue which would advance their own political interests. No majority of the people of the United States ever demanded the tyrannical legislation against so-called sedition that Congress is trying to pass. They have asked for no sedition laws. What sentiment there is back of this legislation was worked up by politicians who thought they could get something out of it for themselves. In its report of the Graham Bill, the House Judiciary Committee announces with pride that Representative Davey conducted a propaganda to arouse the country to the good of this recessive measure. Mr. Davey might have had a smaller measure of success, however, if Attorney General Palmer had not been working the same side of the political street and clamoring for legislation under which the Department of Justice could drag not everybody into jail on the pretense of protecting the country from its native-born enemies. The most automatic institution in the white man's world is the United States Post Office Department, which does not recognize the right even of the courts to injure into its decrees. The arbitrary powers conferred up on the Post Office Department were not the result of the "omnipotence of the majority" that de Tocqueville feared. The American people never asked to have their Post Office Department erected into a despotism. That was done by a handful of bureaucrats working hand in hand with Congress. The Eighteenth Amendment is another case in point. The Constitution of the United States has been radically changed, the relation between the Federal Government and the individual citizen has been revolutionized, and no voter ever had a chance to express his opinion about it at the polls. The tyranny under which the American people are now living is not a tyranny of the majority but a tyranny of politicians and officeholders in partnership with propaganda. The Initiative is with them and they have fixed it so that the referendum is also with them. They control all the political machinery, and have in trenched themselves behind laws which although devised to make political positions observant to popular opinion, have made them the property of managing politicians. No other country in the world is suffering so much from professional politics as the United States and if the campaign of 1920 presents any opportunity whatever to the Ameri can people it is the opportunity to make themselves again the masters of their own institutions.

A DESPOTISM OF POLITICIANS Eighty-five years ago Alexis de Treville, the most philosophic of all students of American institutions, wrote this warning to the American people. If ever the free institutions of America are deserved, that event may be attributed to the omnipotence of the majority which at some future time may more than inherently to desperation and of life them to have recourse to physical force. Anarchy will then be the result but it will have been brought about by despotism. The des of sun that is now engaged in the gun the American people along the road to anarchy has not even the merit of being a despotism of the majority. It is really he despotism of professional politicians who have never received a mandate from the majority and are engaged in grossly abusing the power extrust ed to them. No majority of the people of New York ever demanded the exclusion of the Society's members from the Assembly on the ground that the Socialist platform is "absolutely inalien to the best interests of the State of New York and of the United States." The people of this State never dreamed of such a proceeding. It was the invention of Sweet and Newton and Lusk and a crew of Republican office-holders who thought they could manufacture a periodic issue which would advance their own political interests. No majority of the people of the United States ever demanded the tyrannical retaliation against so-called sedition that Congress is trying to pass. They have asked for no sedition laws. What sentiment there is back of this legislation was worked up by politicians who thought they could get something out of it for themselves. In its report of the Graham Bill, the House Judiciary Committee announces with pride that Representative Davey conducted a propaganda to arouse the country to the good of this repressive measure. Mr. Davey might have had a smaller measure of success, however, if Attorney General Palmer had not been working the same side of the political street and clamoring for legislation under which the Department of Justice could drag not everybody into jail on the protense of protecting the country from its native-born enemies. The most automatic institution in the white men's world is the United States Post Office Department, which does not recognize the right even of the courts to injure into its decrees. The arbitrary powers conferred up on the Post Office Department were not the result of the "omnipotence of the judiciary" that de Tocqueville feared. The American people never asked to have their Post Office Department erected into a despotism. That was done in a handful of bureaucrats working hand in hand with Congress. The Fifteenth Amendment is another one in point. The Constitution of the United States has been radically changed, the relation between the Federal Government and the individual citizen has been revolutionized and no voter ever had a chance to express his opinion about it at the polls. The tension under which the American people are now living is not a tyranny of the majority but a tyranny of politicians and officeholders in partnership with propaganda. The institution is with them and they have finally so that the referendum is also with them. They control all the political machinery, and have in trenched themselves behind laws which attempt devised to make political position subservient to popular opinion, have made them the property of management of politicians. No other country in the world is suffering so much from professional politics as the United States and if the creation of 1920 presents any opportunity whatever to the Amercian people it is the opportunity to make themselves again the masters of their own institutions. —The World.— CHICAGO NOTES.

Former Heavyweight Champion Anxious to Meet Jack Dempsey, Fired to Europe in 1914. with others who question Mexico City, Jan. 29.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight pugilist champion of the world, plans to return to the United States at once to face charges pending against him in Chicago, according to a letter shown the Associated Press yesterday by Johnson. The former champion is confident he can arrange legal differences in time to fight Jack Dempsey before the latter meets Georges Carpenter of France and asserts Dempsey must meet him before he can claim the world's championship. The better shown by the former champion was written by him to Charles F. Clyne, United States District attorney in Chicago, it will Johnson would go to New York by --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA day of Havana, arranging through the American embassy for Edd agents from Mr. Clyne's office to meet him in New York, Johnson be- came Mr. Clyne to give him three hours of leisure after he arrived in Chicago so that he might secure more food and make other legal prepara- tions. --- JOHNSON MUST DO TIME IF HE RETURNS PROTECTED SOLES Chicago, Jan. 29. "Unbound tional surrender" is the only basis on which Local Federal officials will treat with Jack Johnson, New York pupist. This announcement was made today by District Attorney Charles Press dispatch from Mexico Ct. 7, Clyne, after reading the Association to the effect that Johnson planned to return to the United States and take his penitentiary sentence for violation of the Manna act. Johnson felt to Europe in 1913 white out on bush. "Some time ago an attorney called on me to intercede for Johnson" said Mr. Clyne, and later an agent of the former champion visited me, but I told them that "unconditional guard" was the only basis on which I could proceed." Johnson's induction was the result of charges that he paid the rebound fare of a woman from Pittsburgh to Chicago and he was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary and tried $1,000.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES $1.63 09 Months 1.70 Three Months .88 Twelve Months $5.80 SATURDAY...FEBUARY 7, 1920 A poor government is better than no government at all. Some people are so dissatisfied that their months won't grow straight. People who worry catch the "flu" and many other diseases. People, who are making money are the ones, who should be saving money. The rising generation may be all right, but many of them are acting all wrong. People who buy land are sensible and people, who do not do so are unwise. Grown people need recreation as much as children. Many of them get it too. "The Department of Justice has well carried the title of "The Department of Injustice." A part of this world is constantly on the lookout to deceive and beat the other part of this same world. We have had plenty of seasonable weather and we are having a plenty of unseasonable coughs and colds. Do right if you want trouble on this earth. Do wrong If you want trouble after you leave this earth. Some people, who are single want to get married and some people, who are married want to get single. There is no use going to any other country to seek better conditions All other countries are hard-up and lowdown. "John Barleycorn" is said to be dead, but he is having a resurrection in order for him to assist in curing the "flu." People, who have gone to Heaven are much better off than those who remained on earth. They have escaped many troubles. Colored folks are organizing banks and engaging in business. White folks are engaging in politics and preparing for another war. Prayer is mighty, good, but if not mixed with piety and hard work, it will fail to serve the purposes of the one doing the praying. Colored people are patronizing their race journals and they are payling for these defenders of their rights and privileges. Colored folks are having a hard time of it in this world. When some of the white folks are not fighting them they are fighting themselves. They now propose to permit the doctors to have whiskey for their patients, but they make no arrangement for the doctor to have liquor for themselves. Government officials say that they do not know the law and yet they are rest people for violating a law that they themselves do not know has been violated. Now they are talking about another constitutional convention to revise the present constitution. It would be well to wait until we "raise a crop" of statesmen, competent to not only revise a constitution, but to write one. ```markdown ``` They have raised the price of cans kats again, but this has not tended to check the use of them. People pay two hundred dollars for one of these boxes with much less ado, than they would to purchase a fine dress or a Greek. When a couple wants to marry, there is no time for argument. Send for the minister and get the license. When a married couple wants to marry, there is no time for argument. Send for a lawyer and get a notary public. ```markdown ``` The average law abiding citizen A is "put to his trumps" these days, keeping out of jail and out of the poor house. The many of office held as are busily engaged in drawing the money out of the national treasury as the tax paying citizen is shoveling it in. The primary purpose of the Government now seems to be to put people in jail, be they guilty or innocent. The Department of (in), justice is now working overtime in its announcements of arrests in all parts of the country. This Department is now asking for one million dollars more to guard Iliquor, and the men who like Iliquor best are the ones most anxious to do guard duty. --- The Government "busted" the railroads and yet some people, want the Government to keep at the bushes two years more as an experiment. These people seem to be in favor of destroying the railroads. The Government "makes a mess" of setting prices. The Government's control resulted in sugar roping from 5 cents per pound to 22 cents per pound. They allowed John D. Rockefeller and his oil company but new oil is higher than gasoline and gasoline has gone up so high that it almost seems necessary to hire a new plane to reach it. Before, Rockefeller and the sugar dealers made the money. Now it is only possible to tell who is losing the money. People are complaining and the country suffering. As for the college men and the theorists, they are proposing new theories, while the average man, who is not a church member is "cussing." THE NEGRO SITUATION The tight now being waged in behalf of the ratification of the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution and the enforcement of the Prohibition Amendment to the same instrument has a deeper significance than now appears upon the surface. The advocates of these measures have taken absolutely the same position as that once occupied by the so called "bloody-shirt Republicans." They are now familiarly designated as the "Old Lite Republicans." Men of this type took the position that the federal amendments should be enforced in the several States by federal authority. This is exactly the position of the Prohibitionists and the Women Suffragists. Certainly, colored citizens, who have been denied the right to vote under the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States would logically be in favor of enforcing the other amendments without regard to the rights of the several States. As a result we now see a clash, not only between the State authorities and the "army" of federal prohibition officials, but we note ill feeling between this class of people and the federal officials, who have been superceded and virtually supplanted by this new element, riding rough-shod not only over the rights of the people but disregarding the powers of these other classes themselves. The only thing to do now is to appoint another bureau for the enforcement of the provisions of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. Congress cannot logically refuse to do this. The position of the opponents of Women Suffrage in this State is that the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA qualification for suffrage is and should be determined by the State. If Virginia wishes to enfranchise its women, it has the power and the authority so to do without outside interference from any quarter. It takes the same position relative to its colored population. It insists upon its rights to make such restrictions as it pleases in the exercise of the franchise. The outlook is gloomy for the advocates of the States Rights plank and after more than fifty years, a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress have destroyed one of the most treasured heritages of the Southland and are about to turn over to a Republican administration all of the power and authority for which that Party has sighed for more than half a century. The predicament in which the people of the Southland will find themselves as a result of this centralization of power can only be guessed. Certain it is, that no king in monarhal Europe is more absolute now than will be the President of the United States, who succeeds the present occupant of the White House. Personal rights have been obliterated and the fundamental guarantees of the Constitution nullified. --- THE QUESTION OF SALARIES. This is indeed the heyday for curators and theorists. It is now proposed to establish a State constabulary force to enforce the laws against morals, etc. This multiplication of offices will leave it an open question on as to who shall be left to do the work. It would look as though we shall return to the Indian custom of leaving the women and children to do the work while the men loaf as professional officers of the law. Common sense and efficiency have no recognition these days. Men boasting of their ignorance occupy high places and men are assigned to tasks of which they know nothing. In the midst of all of this men and women, who have need and are now holding office are almost forgotten. Instead of increasing the salaries of the present officials and assigning to them the task of enforcing the law, others are put in charge of responsible positions and it takes about four men to do what one old-time faithful official could do. We have this right here in Richmond. The State government attempted to enforce prohibition laws, outranking and belittling the officers in the cities and counties of this commonwealth. This was bad enough, but from this another branch has sprouted and now the United States Government has appropriated many millions of dollars to pay for an additional force of men to enforce the laws. The police force of the cities is inadequately paid and the State Prohibition Department did not save enough money to properly pay those, who were and are now in its employ. Now another waste of money is at hand. There seems to be no way to stop this outrageous expenditure of money and this scandalous system of blundering. Right here in Richmond, the enforcement of the liquor laws should be left to the Department of Public Safety. The head of that Department should be liberally paid and the Chief of Police should have a salary in keeping with the importance of the position. The police force should be composed of picked men, who have seen service and the salaries should be well high double that which they have been receiving. The high cost of living and the increased cost of dying demand this. The office-holders are the hardest hit by this increased cost of living. It is popular now to talk about creating new offices, but unpopular to talk about increasing the pay of those who are holding office. The salary of the Governor of this State is a joke and the salary of the Mayor of the city is on a basis with his subordinates. Still, this is the method of governing these days. The system is like the craw-fish. It works backward. It may be though that saneness and salty may once more be observed in the land, when some statesman with 'the manhood and the back bone will have the voice loud enough to call a halt and to lead the people back to the foundation principles that their leaders have so ignominiously deserted. VIOLATED THE LAW The degeneracy of the leading men of the present age was never better illustrated than in a reputed interview with Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, cousin to the distinguished statesman of the same name, who ended a useful career and has gone on before It is as follows: Now York, Feb. 1.—In describing allied conditions of unpreparedness in the American navy prior to the war with Germany, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt declared tonight in an address at Brooklyn that as the result of his efforts to obtain an adequate program of action, he had committed enough illegal acts to put him in jail for 999 years. He said he undoubtedly would have been limcahed if he had made "wrong guesses." Two months after war was declared said Mr. Roosevelt, I saw that the navy was still unprepared and I present $40 000 for guns before Congress gave me or any one permission to spend any money. The Assistant Secretary, said then before the war he "was opposed by the President, who said that he did not want to commit any overt act of war, but who added that he was following a definite course in an effort to avert a war. In March, 1917 Mr. Roosevelt said he suggested Admiral Sims as the head of the interial fleet. He held a tribute to Ammanok's Naval Academy and said that the 3,000 officers and students there at the outbreak of the war deserved much credit for helping to train the great naval forces which took part in the struggle. Mr. Roosevelt was sworn to obey the law. He was in a position where it was required of him that he should make others obey the law. If this interview is correct and he really said all that he is reputed to have said, he violated his oath of office and according to his own admissions should be in the penitentiary. We cannot understand this kind of latter day statemanship. We cannot understand just what kind of moral training has been vouchsafed this kind of American material. We have closed the Germans for treating lightly on obligation and then we cite instances where we ourselves have been guilty of similar breach of square dealing. The logical conclusion is that we are living in a hypocritical age, where might makes right, where the weak must obey and the strong may disobey and where the teachings of the good and lowly Jesus are held up to ridicule and the principles of eternal justice treated with absolute disdain. Let us hope that Mr. Eloosevelt was incorrectly quoted. A JUROR'S PREDICAMENT Attempting to make the world safe for democracy before the United States has been made, safe has brought about anomalous conditions in this country. The following telegraphic report tells its own story: Monroe, La., Jan. 29.—When a dissenting juryman today rejected a treaty to the vessel of guilty in the trial of Alma Cullery, Negra, following the murder of N. H. Arnold January 20 at Tallulah, La., he was publicly whipped and then dipped in a mud hole, recording to J. Arthur Smith a Monroe business man who returned from Tallulah tonight. When the jury returned to its quarters on the courthouse, assuring the mud-covered dissenting Aryman, a verdict of guilty was greed upon, as according to the report, it is said that the dissenting juryman was later waited upon by a committee and ordered to leave Tallulah. Callahoun confessed the murder of Arnold, according to the sheerid of Ounachita parish. He is said to have stated that he struck the white man over the head while the latter was milking a cow and then rolled him off less than $100. No report from Soviet Russia has surpassed in brutal cruelty this plea recital of conditions existing in Louisiana. Popular government is a mockery and our professions of benevolent assimilations a sham. This is an age of hypocrisy and looks as though we are the chief offenders.

Berlin Pleads With Allies Declaring Attempted Extraditions Will Start General Strike. Berlin, Jan. 29.—Indication of the government's growing concern over the extradition of Germans accused of war offenses was given in the note sent to the allies today asking revision if clauses of the Versailles treaty. The attempted assassination of Fathias Erzberger, Minister of Finance, last Monday is viewed in official circles as a precursor of what is likely to happen on a larger scale if the government, yielding to the allies, appeals to force in arresting men on the last submitted by the entente powers. Editorial and partisan reeformations, provoked by the attack on the finance minister, have already reached the white hot stage.

The Associated Press is informed that even responsible officials of the foreign office have announced point blank they will refuse to execute any work connected with extradition form allties, and they threaten to strike or indulge in "passive resistance."

SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 7, 1920 OCEAN SWALLOWS 500 CASES OF WHISKEY. Yarmouth's Cargo is Broached in Fort Here and Captain Must Explain Today. MORE STILLS ARE SEIZED. Brooklyn Residents Getting Steel Safe Doors to Guard Private Boozo Cellars. Somewhere off Cape May, settling into the sea bottom lies a treasure more to be desired than the gold doubloons and pieces of eight in the well known collection of Capt. Kidd. For the cad truth is out that not all of the 40,000 cases of whiskey with which the steamship Yarmouth put out for Cuba are still under her hatch. Davy Jones added to his private stock 500 cases, 6,000 bottles, which had to be thrown overboard while the ship was battling with the heavy seas of the coastal storm. This pittable circumstance and several others interesting facts came to light yesterday afternoon as the result of a visiti to Federal Prohibition Arent薛lin's office by Edward D. Smith a young Negro who is secretary of the Black Star Line, under whose flag the vessel is operated. Mr. Smith also informed Mr. Shevlin that the $4,800,000 cargo had been consigned to eighteen or twenty New York people to be delivered, how ever in Havana. He said that the mani ferts and bills of lading had been made out that way. The secretary confidently told Mr. Shevlin that the Yartmouth was expeted to resume her interrupted voye use Sunday morning having been pro nounced seaworthy by the repairers. But when Mr. Shevlin had finished his questioning with the request that Captain Elushus Cockburn of the Yarmouth appear before him this morning to explain some of the my terious disappearances from the whis key cargo which have taken place since the vessel returned to New York the secretary of the Black Star Line was not so certain about the sailing date. MUST EXPLAIN MISSING WHISK KEY. Smith wanted to know why the pro- bition agents had taken charge of the vessel. "Because I want to know just what your intentions are with regard to this carpe," Mr. Shevin told him. "To my knowledge sixy bodies have been taken from the ship. I want their disappearance explained, and also the reason why fourteen cases were found stowed away on the after deck apparently ready to be moved." Some light on these questions is expected from the visit which Capr. Cochburn will pay to the Custom House this morning. The secretary was unable to offer any explanation. Until they are answered satisfactorily Mr. Shevin told him, the ship will not be permitted to sail. Mr. Shevlin questioned the steem skim official regarding the nature of the damages which made it necessary for the Yarmouth to turn back. The secretary was unable to tell what damages had been sustained but he said that he understood the ship had sprung a leak. He did not think it was in the hull but that a perhole had figured in some way. Asked why the captain had chosen to come back to New York when there were other ports nearer at hand the secretary said it was the captain's preference to come back here, as this was the port from which he had cleared. LOCK SAWED OFF A BULKHEAD "How did one of the hatches come to be broken?" asked Mr. Shevlin. "I unstand that a lock was sawed off a steel bulkhard leading from the en rine room to the hold and that one of the wooden hatches were smashed." Smith said he didn't know, but that he had heard that some men had tried to dig through the bunkers to get at the whiskey and that one man had tried to take a whole case off the ship. He said he believed Captain Cockburn had the key to the hatches. Continued evidence of amateur activity in the manufacture of booze was uncovered yesterday by the prohibition agents. A squad of the still hunters under Ray Loftus went to an apartment in the rear of a shoe store at 124 Cherry street and found fifty eight empty grape crates, a fruit crusher and three barrels of red wine. John Vasocea, living there said that he had made the wine six months ago, but he was placed under arrest. One man appeared at the Custom House yesterday morning with a one gallon still which he wanted to surrounder. He was J. Mosor of 2382 Putnam avenue Brooklyn. He told the officers that he had seen the contraption ad vertised in a paper that he had bought it to experiment with." BARRELS OF RED WINE SEIZED Federal Prohibition Agents Dennis Molan and John F. Killecourse found four barrels of red wine at 200 East 126th street. Louis Zapolz told them he had begun to make it back in Sep tember but he was ordered to appear in the United States Attorney's office today on a charge of manufacturing wine. The same men found a gallon of whiskey and two gallons of port wine at 2374 Third Avenue and presented a summons to Richard Gans to appear at the same place. Three small home stills were coated in Brooklyn yesterday, Agent J. J. Davis found one in the possession of R. Ratel at 339 Mar on street and another in Out of Chris Offermann at 415 Chamney street, Agent R. E. Cunolly took another away from George Priebsch at 150 Kickerberch street, in Brooklyn owners of private stocks are taking no chances. Five hundred of them have berried the entrances to their cellars with steel safe doors, according to the New York Agency of a safe and vault manufacturing company which has installed them. The doors cost between $150 and $200 each. A carload more is expected in a few days. A round up of the violators of the prohibition amendment in Brooklyn is scheduled to start Monday. Federal Agents have information regarding gabon keepers suspected of selling Lonor. N. Y. Sun. January 31. 1920. The Yarmouth is officiered and manned by an all colored crew and is the first vessel to be so controlled since the foundation of his government.

Suspicious Conduct of "Workmen" Making "Repairs" Leads to Government Action New York, Feb. 2.—The $4,000,000 cargo of whiskey aboard the Black Star Iiner Yarmouth now in New York harbor supposedly undergoing repairs, will be seized tomorrow, according to an announcement made to night by James Shevlin prohibition enforcement officer for New York. Prohibition Officers have subjected the ship and its costly cargo to a sharp watch for several days since a party of "workmen" were discovered carrying liquor from the Yarmouth in a small boat headed for the water front. The cargo will be stored under government supervision. The Yarmouth which is owned and operated exclusively by Negroes put out from New York for Havana the day before the prohibition amendment became effective but turned back for "repairs" when only two days out.

Morris will begin a series of evangelistic meetings at the Second Baptist Church of this city. The large congregation which attended his meetings here last year leads us to expect a great spiritual awakening, not only among the members of the church but the people of this city in general. Preparatory to this great revival effort, cottage prayer meetings are being conducted in various parts of the city by members of the church, in the meetings, which are very largely attended, especially by the female members of the church a large number of men and women have accented the Savior and begin a new life within the post few days. As was the cause last year, Dr. Morris will preach every night and on Sunday afternoons deliver lectures on popular topics to large audiences. Dr. Morris is so well known to the church going people of this city that we feel that a simple announcement of his appearance here will be sufficient to bring the people out in such numbers as will ax the capacity in the place where he arises to plead his Master's cause. The public's cordially invited to attend these meetings. A spiritual feast is in store for all who may attend. Z. D. LEWIS, Pastor. KEPUBLICAN FLAG FLIES OVER DUBAI. Dublin, Jan. 30.—When the new municipal council, composed of Sinn Feiners, met for the first time today it was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm by huge crowds as the republic flag was hoisted on the city hall. Among the spectators in the hall were Mrs. Clark m.dow of Thomas J. Clark one of the executed leaders of the Easter rebellion in 1916; Mrs. MacBride (Maud Gonne) and Mrs. Wysse Power, who was elected a municipal councilor, but was disqualified by the town clerk because she refused to sign the roll except in Gaolie. Retiring Lord Mayor O'Nell proposed Tom Kelly, Sinn Fein's member of parliament, who is in Wormwood Scrubbs prison, as his successor. Mr. O'Nell said that Kelly had not received fair play, as although he was a fair, honest, upright man, he had been deported and spat upon in England." Alderman Cosgrove seconded the motion saying that Kelly behind the prison bars as he was, had an easier conscience "than the puppets pivoting around the castle." London, Jan. 30.—Ireland is almost universally opposed to the home rule proposition recently advanced by Premier Lloyd George, regarding his proposals with little short of contempt, according to Arthur Henderson, the labor leader, speaking on his return from Ireland with the labor party delegation, which made a tenday tour of inspection and inquiry. The desire for an independent republic was widespread and frankly expressed, Mr. Henderson said. WORK WANTED—A young man desires work of any kind. Apply3002 E. P. Street, City. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA GHOST BREAKER PRODS. - Says Sir Oliver and Dr. Hyslop Arc lopages by Mediums. CAN HIMSELF "FAKE" THEM Secretary of Psychical Research Society, Leading to Challenge by Secretary Cat's Pro.osed Tests Ridications - Acceptable to Leave Mediations in Scientific New York, Jan. 30.—Joseph C. Rinnel the "ghost breaker," whose offer to forfelt $5,000 if Sir Oliver Lodge, Dr. James H. Hyslop or anybody else can produce a medium who cannot be exposed as a fraud, says he had antified the scaffolding with which his proposal had been received by Sir Oliver and Dr. Hyslop. "They take regue in excuses that won't stand examination on for a minute," be said. I would make conditions which would be the easiest in the world if the mediums were nor fakes. I want to take five blindfolded strangers before the 'strongest' medium living, and if she, or he, can produce a single bit of information about them with the carmarks of coming from the other world, they will get the $5,000. CHANCE FOR ENDOWMENT. "I understand the Society for Psy- thecal Research is seeking a million collar endowment. If they will ac- cept my offer and prove their case publicly they" will be able to get a billion. All that I am looking for is a chance to prove to the world that these men are absolutely without ability to pass on the tricks of these swindling mediums. I can fake these men, that as mediums do in abnormal psy- chology, and the dual personality business. I can prove they are be- ing fooled with more child's play, and getting the pub is to share with them in the deception." Dr. James H. Hyslop secretary of the Society for Psychical Research has refused to discuss Mr. Rinn and his series of challenges. Mr. Eibun, who is the head of a wholesale produce business is also one of the most expert amateur conjurers. Dr. Hyslop said the subject of spirit messages was cutely one of abnormal psychology and that conjurers knew no more of this subject "than street ganttus." The tests proposed were ridiculous he said, because mediums sometimes fall under the best of conditions and were almost sure to fall when they were excited and nervous by reason of appearing before the public. He said there was no simple fashion in which proof of supernatural communication could be produced, under scientific conditions, to establish face of intercourse between the other world and this one. In his own case Dr. Hyslop said, it had required twenty years of study and a mass of cumulative evidence to convince him. VERBATIM MESSAGES RARE. Recording the proposal that $5,000 should be forfeited if any medium could bring the spirit of the late Dr Richard Holkson to tell the contents of a letter which Dr. Holkson had written seven hours before he died. Dr. Holkson said that the idea was preposterous for two reasons. The first was that no living man could remember for any length of time what he had written in a letter and that no better memory could be expected in a spirit. The second was that and ours are seldom capable of reproducing any message verbatim. The medium he said, receives words, pictures or intimations from a ghost which the medium must render in his own language. The spirit of his own father, through Mr. Smoad, a well-known medium and given a password in another language, Dr. Hyslop said, which was to indicate to the living man in future communications that his father's spir it was talking. He said that although he had never divulged the foreign phrase so used, it had been repeated several times by different mediums. One of these he said, was the wife of an orthodox clergyman while most of the others were private persons who had never commercialized the r' psychic powers. Proof of communication from the other world. Dr. Hyslop asserted could be established in only one way—by the multitude of proofs of personal identity. He said the general public was entirely incapable of forming conclusions of any value on the subject. He added: "The public has no sense. I advise them to let mediums alone and simply help the scientific men to study them." --- A NATIONALIST ALDERMAN IS ELECTED MAYOR OF DERRY.

The audience cheered and waved flags and handkerchiefs and shouted to the opposition "Derry has surrendered! We will make you chow wood." While the mayor was being installed the crowd sang "God Save Ireland." Mayor O'Doherty declared that flags if they were of an insulting character, would not be permitted to fly from the Derry guildhall in future. He added that a painful chapter in the history of the country had been closed. A Sinn Foiner was elected mayor of Sligo.

Eastman, Ga., Feb. 1.—Joe Roland confessed to the killing of James and Charles Cannon, at a country dance at the home of M. L. Bailey, near Gresham, last night, according to asherff C. N. Mullins. Fear on the part of the sheriff this afternoon that feeling against the Roland boy might lead to an attack upon the Dodge County jail to lynch Joe Roland and his son, Charles, both of whom are charged with murder, caused the removal of both the pris- onsers to another county for safekeeping. According to the sheriff the elder Roland claimed that the Cannon boys members of a prominent Dodge County family cursed the wife of the younger Roland. All went into the front yard he said, to settle the matter. He says the Cannon boys attacked his son and he went to his aid and received a knife wound in his neck, whereupon according to the sheriff Roland said he drew a 38 cal-bre pistol and shot and killed both men.

GOVERNOR CHARGES PAYANT SEEKS HARMONY OF DEATH Edwards Replies to Attack Made by Commander at Bristol, Virginia. Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 29.—William Jennings Bryan was accused of wanting to establish "the harmony of death" in the Democratic party in a statement issued tonight by Governor Edward I. Edwards in reply to an attack made upon the New Jersey executive by Mr. Bryan at Bristol, Va., last night. Mr. Bryan had charged Governor Edwards with being an agent of the liquor interests and with trying to disrupt the Democratic party. In his statement Governor Edwards said: "The harmony Mr. Bryan wants to the harmony of death. If he has his way the Democratic convention at San Francisco will be the morgue from which will be picked the corpse to apear at Nov. national funeral. What I wish is to disturb no harmony but an intelligent grappling with the situation so that we will have clearly defined the issue of liberty against sectarianism.

RE-REGISTRATION AT SIXTH MT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH The members of the church are requested to re-register their names soon as possible. Cards have been printed for this purpose and you can get them by asking the clerk or any officer of the church. Parents are asked to see that their children re-register.
