Brown the popular pastor delivered the funeral discourse. He was assisted by Rev. S. W. Grie, Rev. S. T. Elridge, Rev. James E. Carter and Rev. L. A. Green. His remembrance were touching and appropriate. The choir rendered selections too that appealed to the heart.

The various organizations accompanied the remains to the old cemetery. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., was present. With him came Col. W. H. Willis, Grand Master at Arms, Dr. E. R.

The Ministers' Conference enjoyed the visit of Dr. A. S. Thems, the pastor of Sharon Baptist Church who has been on the sick list. Rev. A. A. Martin of Pittsburg, Pa. was also in to see us. He too has been sick but is much better now. For some reason the report on Subjets and Speakers was not made. The speaker who was to address us on business relations was also detained. The president and secretary were prevented from attending the conference on the account of sickness. The report of the Secretary Treasurer was deferred. Some of our churches are using moving pictures in their services all day Sunday and going away with the preaching of the gospel. Instruction by this method is two-fold in its effect, good and evil. The gospel is not so it is always attended with blessings unspeakable, causing the people to work for right purposes. We cannot see any church should take such a course and that it will not be followed any longer. THEIR THIRDTEenth MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY 1890—1920 Mr. and Mrs. Fred H.

The enquiry bureau of the State Department of Health reports gratifying cooperation on the part of local authorities in a large number of communities and towns in the installation of the sanitary box type of closet in districts in which it is not yet possible to secure water disposal of sewage. Assurances have been re eived from officials of some eight or ten towns that such closets will be put in before the opening of the fly season, meaning an installation of approximately 6,002 sanitary closets and the reduction of practically that number of potential factors in the spread of disease. One town has nearly completed the installation of 1,000 of such closets and has made provision for a regular sewerage system. * Y. W. C. A. NOTES.

Her daughter, (Mrs.) ELIZABETH POWELL DR MORRIS HERE AGAIN On the third Sunday, February 15, 1990 Dr. Chas S. Morris will begin a series of evangelistic meetings at the Second Baptist Church of this city. The large success which attended his meetings 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 real effort, cottage prayer meetings are being conducted in various parts of the city by members of the church. In these meetings, which are very largely attended, especially by the female members of the church a large number of men and women have acted the Savior and begun a new life within the past few days. As was the cause last year, Dr. Moris will present every night and on Saturdays afternoons deliver lectures on popular topics to large audiences. Dr. Morris's is so well known to the church going people of this city that we feel that a simple announcement of his appearance will be sufficient to bring the people out in such numbers as will the capacity in the place where he arrives to plead his Martial cause. The public is cordially invited to attend these meetings. A spiritual feast is in store for all who may attend. Dr. Moris will attend. --- A GREAT PYTHIAN AND CALAN THAN RALLY IN VIRGINIA.

The young man told us many things about his people in the dark jungles of Africa; of his capture by the Baptist Missionary and of how the Lord saved him. There was not a person present who was not deeply touched while he talked. The B. Y. P. U, held its services Sunday night from 6:30 to 7:30. A short program was rendered by the children. The Sunday School Superintendent, Mr. A. N. Lancaster conducted the unfolding of the Pledge. He spoke in a very earnest and effective way for a about twenty minutes, then he called on others to have some thing to say. Rev. Wiley and Rev. Condelee both gave some very interesting thoughts. Service of the union closed at 7:30 and Rev. Condelee was again introduced to an overflowing and eager crowd who came out to hear him. He talked on his home and South Africa. Those who did not hear him missed a treat. He left Sunday night on the late train for Lynch burg where he will resume his studies. Deacon P. W Moore, brother Andrew Jackson, Mrs. Hilton, McGhee and Mrs. Maggie Watkins are much better. We have many cases of "flu" in our town this week. Mrs. Lillie Brown family is down with the exception of Ernestine and Mr. Brown. We all hope they will be out again soon. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown are reported down also. It is reported that Mr. Goodhope is dead and the rest of his family is in with the "flu." Mrs. Maria Thornton is improving. Mrs. Violet Moore Bacon is home on the account of her fathers illness. Mrs. Lillian Woodson is much but ter at this writing. Mr. Frank Holmes, his brother, George, his sister Carrie and husband all have the "flu." On account of the bad weather last week the ladies of the First Baptist church did not have their Age party. So they gave the party last night (Monday). It was indeed a grand at fair. Every body left saying they really enjoyed themselves. While we had quite a number of aged persons from the proof of their bags, but Mr. Boisseau proved that he was well nigh the hundred mark. The committee was: Mrs. Laura Wiley, M. A. Ward, Mattie Branch, Julia Brown, Jennie Watson and Mrs. Mattie Allen. Mrs. Ellen Banks and Mrs. Amanda Branch were on the sick list, so they couldn't serve. The next for the sisters to have will be Martha Washington's party. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Watkin's child have bought for their parents a home on South street. day night with Rev. and Mrs. Price. Rev.

E. church Sunday were not largely attended owing to so many of our members being stricken with the dreadful disease influenza. However the services were solemn and 'inspressive' The pastor Rev. J. R. Augustine discursed in the morning upon "The two men who went up to the temple to Pray' the Pharisee and the Publican. He beautifully explained the importance of coreness and humbleness when we pray to our Heavenly Parent. And said also, (using many beautiful illustrations) to bear up his message that when God will hear us at all times, when we really pray, anywhere and everywhere yet we must pray in His temple often; the place where His Honor or dweloth. In His closing remarks by the aid of the Holy Spirit, he rebuked the Phariseal Spirit seen so prominently in the lives of men in these modern times and called upon all present to be contrite of heart; for a lowly and contrite heart God will not despair. Consequently said He the Publican, though sinful, was retributive, acknowledged his sins 'in a spirit of trembling and unworthiness before God and went down to his home justified. God will hear humble, earnest and contrite prayers. But, he who builds his so called prayers, upon the lofty pedestal of self-rightness and haughtiness, must fall for he stands upon sinking sand. For except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees you can not enter the Kingdom of oblivion. At night it was our privilege and joy, to hear a burning and belief mage. On the importance of waiting in God's Spiritual chambers, which are established in the "Household of Faith" until the Deliverer comes.

GILES B. JACKSON 511 North Second Street. A Copy, Tonte: LUTHER LIBBY, Clerk. THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK LOW PRICE PROMISES CONGRESS LAUGH. While Palmer Declines He Will Save the Other Administration Produces Washington, Jan.—Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer's bid for popularity conveyed in his promise to reduce the high cost of living is meeting with considerable merriment in Congress, especially as the Department of Labor persists in refuting his statements with facts to show that prices are still soaring. Representative Phil Campbell, of Kansas, in the House reminded the Democratic leaders that they were ex-perienced in buncombe, having made the same promise in 1910 and 1912 in order to assist in securing power, and after eight years of that power, having done so little to accomplish the rest promised that prices have more than doubled. Palmer has declared that he will not law the profiteers to their lair and destroy them. The United States Food Controller, another Democratic official recently said: "If it were possible to abolish profiteering altogether, you would not materially affect the present level of high prices." This last statement agrees entirely with the expressed opinion of the Republican leaders all along that high prices are caused by cheapening of the circulating medium and inflation, and that they can come down only thus restoration of normal condition, deflation, and the promotion of industrial prosperity. These leaders have said for eight years that promises otherwise are purely for political purposes are now that they are akin to "thank God for Wilson—he kept us out of war." Bradstreet has pointed out that prices are still going up. The Department of Labor says they are still going up. Everybody who buys anything agrees that they are going up. But Attorney Gen. Palmer agrees that they will come down and that he will bring them down. Cincinnati and other cities have been told of the arrival of experts from the Department who would assist in the work of reducing the high cost of living. After the experts have left and the populace is in a fine state of expectation the prices go on up. The man who has spilled the Palm er beans and shown up the Administration team work though, is Royal C. Mecker, United States Commissioner of Labor Statistics. This is what he says: I see no prospect of any consider able fall in prices for several years to come. It will be impossible for the governments of the world to pay off their debts very rapidly. On the contrary, there is every reason to aprehend that credits must be issued to foreign governments, foreign manufacturers, and foreign business men in order to rehabilitate the broken and shattered industries of Europe. This being the case, we may expect that larger volumes of cheques and credit instruments will be thrown up to circulation, boosting prices higher." As long as the people have twice as many dollars with which to buy a smaller number of commodities, prices are bound to remain high. It will take a long time to deflate the world's inflated currencies or to inflate the world's deflated supply of goods. The profiteer is being blamed on all hands for the increase in prices. Unroutedly, profiteering of most reprehensible sort has existed and does exist today, but the profiteer is a result of ever increasing prices rather than a cause thereof. His influence in boosting prices in negligible. If all the profiteers in the world could be apprehended and thrown into jail or lined up and shot, it would have an appreciable influence upon prices. --- VISCOUNT GREY'S CLEAR VIEW OF AMERICA AND COVENANT. We do not suppose that Viscount Crow's bitterest enemy would deny that diplomat a place among the clearest thinkers in the world, particularly upon questions of government. The understanding of men's laws and men's political motives has engaged his entire career. It was natural at that long ago he should have studied the Constitution of the United States which is more easily assimilated than the British Constitution in that it is a written and comparative brief document. His visit of several months in this country has enabled him to add to his previous knowledge of our governmental system an intimate acquaintance with the conflict which has been waged since President Wilson presented to the Senate for ratification without change, his impossible covenant. Under the circumstances it is interesting to see what Viscount Grey, himself a supporter of the League of Nations has to say in respect of the occupation which the covenant in its Wilsonian form has met in the United States: an opposition which has been so misrepresented by the covenant worshiping that it is not strange that there should be misunderstanding in Europe as to the facts of the case [Recognizing this misunderstanding Viscount Grey says bluntly: "Let us first get rid of one possi- A REVELATION! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucinda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty four days and saw dreams and vastons; was commanded by God to write the wonders she saw into a book. This book tells about the seven year famine that began in 1901 and will last for seven years and extends to the foreign lands. She was also a series of souses rage among the people and saw them starving and dying as rest that there were not enough being left to bury the dead, and this is already in the land.

No charge of bad faith or repudiating signatures can be brought against the action of the United States Senate. By the Ameri can Constitution it is an independent body, an independent element in the treaty making power. Its refusal to ratify the treaty cannot expose eith or itself or the country to a charge of bad faith or repudiation." So much for the Senate's right to stand in the way of a dictatorship. Next let us quote from Viscount Grey's suture't relation of the reasons sentimental and practical, which have in fluenced the United States against the acceptance of Mr. Wilson's covenant: There is in the United States a real conservative feeling for the tradition al' policy, and one of those traditions consecrated by the advice of Washing ton is to abstain from foreign and particularly European entanglements. Even for nations which have been used to European alliances the Leng ue of Nations is felt to be something of a new departure. This is still more true for the United States, which has hitherto held aloof from all outside alliances. For the League of Nations is not merely a plunge into the unknown but a plunge into something of which his tertical advice and traditions have hitherto positively disapproved. It does ot say that it will not make this departure. It recognizes that world conditions have changed, but it desires time to consider, to feel its way and to act with caution. Hence this desire for some qualification and reservation." Just as candidly, as lucidly and as calmly the veteran diplomat comes to the most damning items of the covenant, Without specifically mentioning Article N or XL, Viscount Grey writes a true indictment of the attempt to transfer from Congress to a supergovernment its constitutional power to declare war; The American Constitution not only makes possible but under certain conditions renders inevitable a conflict between Executive and Legislature. It would be possible as the covenant of the League of Nations stands, for a President in some future years to commit the United States through the American representative on the Council of the League of Nations to a policy of which the Legislature at that time might disapprove." This contingency, Viscount Grey hastens to assure his British readers—his illuminating views were expressed in a letter to the London Times—could not arise in Great Britain, where the people are enabled quickly to decide disputes between the Government and the House of Commons; therefore, he says, there is no need for Britain to ask such reservations as the Senate demands for America: But in the United States it is other wise. The contingency is within the reign of practical politics. They have reason, and if they so desire the right to opprove against it. Reservations with this object are therefore an illustration not only of party politics but of a great constitutional question which constantly arises between the President and the Senate and it would be no more fair to label this with the name of party politics than it would be to apply that name to some of the great constitutional strugles which arose between the House of Commons and the executive authority in Great Britain in the days before the question had finally been settled in favor of the House of Commons." There are people who will not en joy the Grey letter, just as Junker dom did not enjoy the cold, clear, honest way in which Grey dealt with the Prussian at the beginning of the war. His frankness will not be praised if in some quarters of Washington. It will not evoke cheers in the ranks of those Englishmen who believed that Mr. Lloyd George bringing home the signature of President Wilson to a document which would, if ratified by the Senate bind us to he policeman and banker in every old World quar- ral, had performed the most useful diplomatic service for England since Dorsey's time. Put Grey has told England the ```markdown ``` ALS by Lucinda Young, who in the twenty four days and saw dreams and to write the wonders she saw into the seven year famine that began in and extends to the foreign lands, rise among the people and saw that there were not enough living already in the land.

DRIFTING TO WAR Conflict in 1920 Unless People Alter, Says ExSenator Lewis. Citizens in Revolt Against Institutions, He Asserts—National Patriotism Lacking—Urgent Renewal of American Deviation to Doctrines of Nation's Founders. New York, Jan. 31.—Declaring that "if the temper of the American people continues as it is now, this nation will be at war before the presidential election of 1920," former Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois made an appeal for a revival of national patriotism before the Society of the Genesee at the Commmodor Hotel tonight. Only by this means he said could the threatening destiny of America be avoided. Internal violence and foreign invasion were the certain results of the spirit of discontent prevalent in this country, the spear et asserted. NATIONAL PATRIOTISM LACKING "In this country today there is no national patriotism. The financially powerful forget everything done by the nation that has enriched them—because their country now compels them to pay taxes to meet the indebtedness of the war." declared Mr. Lewis. There is no national praise by the merchant, farmer and tolling laborers for the achievement of their nation. These have no respect for authority, nor give obedience to officials. They are sufferers from the high prices and inconveniences of readjustment that ever follow great wars in any land and have only condemnation for every one. There is no general love or gratitude from the poor and humble of our countrymen, for the blessings of liberty under law and security of justice under our constitution. The masses are in resentment against the laws that war's necessity put upon them. Never was poverty of patriotism so universal in this nation as now. The spirit now abroad in the land would plunge this nation into war with any country anywhere for any thing, and then avoid in every way possible the fighting to defend it. This would be the expression of the mood that possesses them. "A majority of our voters would tomorrow vote in secret ballot that the war we waged in Europe was not justified by any results and would repudiate every obligation we are under to the world or of the nations of the world to us. "The citizen is in revolt at evils that do not exist. He is in terror at conditions that cannot arise. If this temper in our people increases and then becomes understood to the world America is at once imperiled by all who would rejoice in our downfall. Truth must record that the United States has not one constant friend in all the nations of the world. Our enemies of the European war hale us for the penalties put upon them by our victory. Those who were our allies in the conflict resent our financial supremacy. In any hour of our national confusion these would take any course that could dethrone us from world superiority. NATIONS WILL STRIKE US "With part of our people at home in enemy to our institutions, and others for political purposes or financial advantages hopeful of our dismay and defeat—any foreign nation that harbors a grudge or has a resentment against us, will see that it is their time to strike. History has taught us that the hour of no loyalty to country or veneration for its institutions is the day of national decay and suicide of patriotism al revolution or external invasion. Then will come to the United States all that which followed Rome in the anarchy which belfell her after Caesar's triumphs; that which pursued France in the days after the Napoleonic wars; and was the expience of England once after success over foreign foe when Charles lost his head under a Cromwell. This is the fate of anarchy in Russia and is the disorder and death in Germany God has not given to the United States exemption from the fixed fate of all nations—when pride dieth and hope withreth.'

Citizens in Revolt Against Institutions, He Asserts—National Patriotism Lacking—Urges Renewal of American Deviation to Doctrines of Nation's Founders. New York, Jan. 31.—Declaring that "if the temper of the American people continues as it is now, this nation will be at war before the presidential election of 1920," former Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois made an appeal for a revival of national patriotism before the Society of the Genesee at the Commotory Hotel tonight. Only by this means he said could the threatening destiny of America be avoided. Internal violence and foreign invasions were the certain results of the spirit of discontent prevalent in this country, the speaker asserted. NATIONAL PATRIOTISM LACKING "In this country today there is no national patriotism. The financially powerful force everything done by the nation that has enriched them—because their country now campuses them to pay taxes to meet the indebtedness of the war." declared Mr. Lewis. There is no national praise by the merchant, farmer and tolling laborers for the achievement of their nation. These have no respect for authority, nor give obedience to officials. They are sufferers from the high prices and inconveniences of readjustment that ever follow great wars in any land and have only condemnation for every one. There is no general love or gratitude from the poor and humble of our countrymen, for the blessings of liberty under law and security of justice under our constitution. The masses are in resentment against the laws that war's necessity put upon them. Never was poverty of petrition so universal in this nation at now. The spirit now abreed in the land would plunge this motion into war with any country anywhere for any thing, and then avoid in every way possible the fighting to defend it. This would be the expression of the mood that possesses them. "A majority of our voters would tomorrow vote in secret ballot that the war we waged in Europe was not justified by any results and would repudiate every objective we are under to the world or of the nations of the world to us. "The citizen is in revolt at evils that do not exist. He is in terror at conditions that cannot arise. If this temper in our people increases and then becomes understood to the world America is at once imperiled by all who would rejoice in our downfall. Truth must record that the United States has not one constant friend in all the nations of the world. Our enemies of the European war hake us for the penalties put upon them by our victory. These who were our allies in the conflict recent our financial supremacy. In any hour of our national confusion these would take any course that could dethrone us from world superiority. NATIONS WILL STRIKE US. "With part of our people at home in county to our institutions, and others for political purposes or financial advantages hopeful of our dismay and defeat—any foreign nation that harbors a grudge or has a resentment against us, will see that it is their time to strike. History has taught us that the hour of no loyalty to country or veneration for its institutions is the day of national decay and suicide of patriotism From such season follows intern al revolution or external invasion. Then will come to the United States all that which followed Rome in the anarchy which befell her after Caesar's triumph; that which pursued France in the days after the Napoleonic wars; and was the experience of England once after success over foreign foe when Charles lost his head under a Cromwell. This is the fate of anarchy in Russia and is the disorder and death in Germany God has got given to the United States exemption from the fixed fate of all nations—when pride dieth and hope withereth.'

Every one was searched for firearms before being admitted to the courthouse. Hundreds were unable to gain admittance to the courtroom and congregated in the street in front of the courthouse. The cry "let's get him" from a brawny farmer on the outskirts of the crowd turned the crowd into a mob which began surging toward the entrance to the building. Soldiers and police dropped back into close formation and trained their guns on the mob which never hesitated. Adjutant General DeWeese in command of the militiamen shouted a final warning to the crowd and then fired a revolver into the air. It was the signal for the troops to fire MACHINE GUN BELCHES BULLETS Soldiers and police fired point blank into the crowd and a near-by machine gun rattled. From the windows of the courtroom above another half of bullets spattered down on the asphalt street. Four men fell at the first volley. The mo.' which had surged half way up the stems pressed back and broke. Quick action on the part of the authorities got the Negro out of the building. Those killed in the clash were: B. F. Carrier and L. M. King, both of Lexington and John Thomas and William Efrington, both of Versailles. ONE WOMAN SHOT DOWN Among those wounded were: J. W. Stansell, W. J. Rees, Otf. Sharn, Emmet Dozzer, Itwin Gwijn, Emmatt Danziger Fred Sowders; H. C. Weathers, Mys. E. T. Cross; J. M. Rogers and James Massengall. Folled in its first attempt to get the prisoner the mob broke into small crowds which held hurried visits to all of the pawnshops and hardware stores in the city in a cuet for fire arms. There were ombious mutterings on all sides. In some stores as many as fifty or sixty revolvers and guns were seized. Groups of men congregated on the streets and sought to learn the were abouts of Lockett. The word that regular army troops were coming spread rapidly and no further violence was attempted. GIVEN QUICK TRIAL Lookett's arrest, indictment, trial and sentence sets a new record for rapidity in Kentucky. He was arrested last Tuesday night, indicted Friday day; was tried, found guilty and sentenced in a few minutes today. Until his sentence he will die in the electric chair March 11. The Little Hardman girl's body was found mutilated in a corn field last THE COMMERCIAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY Melwin Finance Corporation, Fiscal Agents Tuesday morning soon after she had left her, home for school. Her head had been crushed in with a stone and her body partially covered up with corn stalks. Lockett recently discharged from the army was suspected and posses were found immediately to look for him. He was found at the home of a friend six miles from the scene of the murder late that night. Police announced that the Negro had confessed to the murder, adding that he "didn't know" why he had killed the girl. HOLD NEGRO IN COURTHOUSE. It became known tonight that Lockett was never taken out of the court house and that he still is confined there under a heavy guard. During the excitement the impresson prevaild that he had been taken out of the city. He will be removed to the State reformatory at Frankfort or to the State penitentiary at Eddyville, as quickly as possible. Knots of men gathered on the streets tonight and discussed the day's events. Their temper apparently had cooled. COMMEND KENTUCKY GOVERNOR FOR FOILING LYNCHING. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today commended the action of Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky and Sheriff Bain Moore of Franklin County in defending a Negro, Will Lockett from a mob which had gathered about the State Reformatory where Lockett was being held. The communication to the Governor nor which was signed by John R. Shillady, Secretary of the Association, follows: February 6, 1920. Hon. Edwin P. Morrow, Governor, Frankfort, Ky. Dear Sir—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with more than three hundred branches and ninety thousand members, ten of whose branches and some 4,000 of whose members are in Kentucky wishes to express to you its keen admiration for the energy with which you have vindicated the laws of Kentucky in taking charge of the defense of your State Reformatory against a mob of misguided men intent upon the lynching of a Negro accused of crime, already in the possession of officers of the law. Law abiding people of the who's country, we are certain will join us in expressing our deep sense of gratification for your conduct. Lynching which so disgraces our American States, would be stopped if officers of the law protected their prisoners THE RICHARD PLANET SPIRIT AWAY SLAYER. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 11.—William Lockett convicted murderer of two year old Geneva Hardman who is to pay the death penalty for his crime March 11 was removed from Lexington at 9 o'clock last night on a special train bound for Eddyville where he will be placed in a death cell of the State Penitentiary according to Brigadier General Francis Marshall in command of Federal troops here. Removal of Lockett from the court house to the train was accomplished without incident. He was marched in the center of a group of pickled soldiers to the station and accompanied out of the city by more than 400 troops. The greatest secrecy was maintained by military officials. A half hour before removal of the Negro all telephone and telephone companies were ordered not to allow messages of any character to leave the city until after midnight. But few citizens were on the streets when the removal took place and these attempted no demonstration. Six hundred troops remain in Lexington. BLACKSTONE NOTES.

The city was quiet early tonight, but authorities fear a recurrence of violence. Five hundred additional United States troops are in route from Camp Taylor, Ky. Lexington and all of Fayette County was placed under martial law at 8 o'clock by Brigadier General F. C. Marshall upon his arrival from Camp Taylor with 300 troops of the famous First Division which helped repulse the Germans at Chateau Thierry. Rolting began this morning when a mob, bent upon lynching William Lockett a Negro who confessed to Geneva Hardman was fired upon with the murder last week of 10 year old rifle and machine guns by State militia men as the mob was storming the Fayette County courthouse to get the Negro during his trial. NEGRO CONFESSES TO CRIME The attempt to lynch Lockett was made just after he had confessed to the murder and as the jury found him guilty of murder In the first degree. He was sentenced to die in the electric chair March 11. The shooting temporarily dispersed the mob and gave the authorities time in which to rush Lockett to a secret place of safety. The mob formed again however, and looted pawnshops and hardware stores to get firearms. Fearing an attack upon the handful of National Guardsmen on duty, the authorities appealed to Governor Morrow for assistance. As a result 300 troops members of the Twenty-sixth and Twenty eighth Infantry, arrived at 3 o'clock on a special train from Camp Taylor. The Federal troops immediately be gan the work of patrolling the streets to keep crowds from congregating. Lockett, arrested last Tuesday night and held in the State Penitentiary at Frankfort for safe keeping was in dictated late last week and was brought here on a special train this morning for trial. He was heavily guarded SULLENLY WATCH PRISONER? Hundreds of farmers from the sur- rounding county arrived early to au- tend the trial and sullenly watched the prisoner as he was marched from the train to the courthouse, between lines of State troopers.

C. The wedding will take place in Philadelphia, March 3, 1920. Miss Shelton is a young lady of rare charm and refinement. Mr. Miner is a graduate of Howard University where he won the A. B. degree in 1918 and was the "Class Orator" at the graduating exercises. While a Sophomore in College, Miner was secretary of the Howard University Athletic Association and during his junior year, he served his Alma Mater as Associate Editor of the "Howard University Journal" and Editor in Chief of the "University Bee." White still in the Junior year the nation's attention was attracted to him as a result of the 'Richmond Planet' being temporarily barred from the mails because it contained an article from his pen advocating, uncompromisingly, a "World Democracy" that would include within its scope, colored men of America as well as white men of Europe. Immediately upon leaving college, Uzziah Miner joined the U. S. Army and went with the American Expeditionary Forces to Europe. After stu drying military science at the well known artillery school at La Courtine, France he went to the 'Front' where he saw service as an artillery specialist in Battery F, 3490th Fleet' Artillery. At Brest, France, while enroute to America, he founded and subsequently edited with success "Modern Artillerymen," the first publication of its kind in the history of the American Army. After being honorably discharged from the Army, Miner accepted an immediate appointment to a clerical position in the United States Treasury.

WOOD DEAD. Petersburg, Va., Feb. 10.—The funeral of Major Edward W. Wood, District Deputy Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia took place here from the Giffield Baptist Church at J. P. M. A large crowd filled the church. Rev. S. A. Brown the popular pastor delivered the funeral discourse. He was assisted by Rev. S. W. Grice, Rev. S. T. Eldridge, Rev. James E. Carter and Rev. L. A. Green. His remarks were touching and appropriate. The choir rendered selections too that appealed to the heart. The deceased was a member of seven organizations, including the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and St. John's Watchman. The floral designs were numerous and costly. The various organizations accompanied the remains to the old cemetery. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., was present. With him came Col. W. H. Wlis, Grand Master at Arms, Dr. E. R. Jefferson Grand Master of Exchequer and Col. R. C. Mitchell. The party brought a floral offering from Richmond. Sir Wood died almost suddenly. He had lost his daughter by death only 3 months previously and this deeply affected him. His death took place Sunday at his residence 321 West Street. He was one of the most faithful Pythians in the State C. W. JORDAN GONE District Deputy C. W. Jordan of Suffolk, Va., died Monday at Suffolk Va. The information was conveyed by telegram to Mr. J. W. Thompson of this City. He was well known in this State. He was highly connected in many organizations, being one of the "pillars" in the Good Samaritans. He was also District Deputy Grand Chancellor by appointment of Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., and was highly regarded by the Pythian knighthood. Inability to secure direct information as to the time of the funeral precluded the idea of the Grand Chancellor attending the same. Special Services. Special service at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Stop five Petersburg Turnpike Sunday February 15th, at 11:30 A. M. The pastor will speak or "Duties of Husbands to Wives." THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. The Ministers' Conference enjoyed the visit of Dr. A. S. Thomas, the pastor of Sharon Baptist Church who has been on the sick list. Rev. A. A. Martin of Pittsburg, Pa, was also in to see us. He too has been sick but is much better now. For some reason the report on Subjects and Speakers was not made. The speaker who was to address us on business relations was also detained. The president and secretary were prevented from attending the conference on the account of sickness. The report of the Secretary-Trenurer was deferred. Some of our churches are using moving pictures in their services all day Sunday and doing away with the preaching of the gospel. Instruction by this method is two-fold in its effect, good and evil. The gospel is not so it is always at tended with blessings unspeakable, causing the people to work for right cousness and God. We cannot see any church should take such a course and that it will not be followed any longer. THEIR THIRTIETH MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY. 1890-1920. Mr. and Mrs. Fred H.

Watch for the date. DO MUCH SANITARY WORK. Many Virginia Communities are Installing Sanitary Closets as Health Measure. Richmond, Va., Feb. 11.—The engraving bureau of the State Department of Health reports gratifying cooperation on the part of local authorities in a large number of communities and towns in the installation of the sanitary box type of closet in districts in which it is not yet possible to secure water disposal of sewage. Assurances have been received from officials of some eight or ten towns that such closets will be put in before the opening of the fly season, meaning an installation of approximately 6,002 sanitary closets and the reduction of practically that number of potential factors in the spread of disease. One town has nearly completed the installation of 1,000 of such closets and has made provision for a regular scavenger system. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Phyllis Wheatley Branch. In spite of inclement weather the finance campaign was carried through Up to date the proceeds are two thousand three hundred and twenty two dollars and fifty seven cents ($2,322.57) while this is far short of the four thousand dollar ($4,000) mark set it is not discouraging. The work of the teams and their captains is to be commended. There were ten teams and their captains were as follows: Team No. 1, Mrs. M, M. Brown; 2. Mrs. Luey Crawley; 3. Mrs. Betty Thomas; 4. Mrs. L. R. Smith; 5. Mrs. A. Smith Bowser; 6. Miss A. D. Paterson; 7. Mrs. A. G. Thompson; 8. Mrs. Hattie McGrew; 9. Mrs. Lillian C. Glipin. The Vesper Service Sunday evening was musically good. Good music was a feature. Vocal solos were read by Miss Carrie Turner, Mr. Leth eridge, Mr. Pike, Mr. Jeter played a violin solo and Miss Marie Bowling a piano solo. Mrs. Bertha Hector was the greek of the evening and she gave us the origin of three familiar hymns. UNION MEMBERSHIP RALLY IN PYTHIAN AND CALANTIAN LODGES AND COURTS. Richmond, Virginia.—The representatives from the various Lodges K. of P., and Courts of Calantine at Richmond met at 727 N. Third street (Pythian Castle) on the above date and unanimously decided to conduct a Union Membership Rally in the Order besides taking a part in the State Rally and have a large Un on Initiation the fourth week in March as well as in May. The meeting was very largely attended and animated and enthusiastic speeches were made and all seemed anxious to vie with each other in trying to forge ahead in the contest. They propose prizes in the city to a cause greater interest as well as try to the State prizes and a lively contest is expected. Every Lodge and Court must send two representatives to 727 N. Thirth street, Tuesday February 17, 1920 at 8 P. M. as the weather was very in element February 2, 1920 and prevent it a large meeting. The following officers were elected: Miss M. L.

Hes daughter, (Mrs.) ELIZABETI POWELL. DR MORRIS HERE AGAIN. On the third Sunday, February 15, 1920, Dr. Chas S. Morris will begin a series of evangelistic meetings at the Second Baptist Church of this city. The large success 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 these meetings, which are very largely attended, especially by the female members of the church a large number of men and women have accepted the Savior and begun a new life within the past few days. As was the cause last year, Dr. Morris will preach every night and on Sun day afternoons deliver lectures on popular topics to large audiences. Dr. Morris's 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. A GREAT PYTHIAN AND CALAN- THIAN BALLY IN VIRGINIA. The Lodges of Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calabrese have started a Great Membership Rolly in the State from January 1, 1920 to end May 31, 1920 with prizes in gold money to be awarded at the Grand Session in Norfolk, Va., third week in June 1920 at the Public Meeting of the Grand Session. Every member of every Lodge and Court is aiming to bring in as many members to his own lodge or court and Deputies are trying each PRICE, FIVE CENTS to excel the other in making the largest new lodge or court in his field. Since the war there is a greater need of the comforts and benefits offered by the Fraternal Organizations and much good can be done if each member does his or her part. Let all bustle!

A great and enthusiastic meeting was held at Fourth Baptist church Thursday evening January 29, at which time the officers of the Local Lodges of Richmond District were publicly installed by A. W. Molmes, Founder of the Order. Quite a surprise was sprung when Deputy T. L. Beverly presented formal applications asking for charters for 3 new lodges and three new nurseries. Mrs. Ros a Thomson, Nat on al Lecturer came from the lecture room of the church leading a great crowd of new members who have just taken obligations to join the various lodges the work for the month of January.

State Health Board Reports Show the Disease is Mild in Type. Richmond, Va., Feb.3.—Reports on the influenza situation from all sections of Virginia to the State Board of Health issued led Dr. Enunion G. Williams, State Commissioner of Health to compare that an optimistic and reassuring view of the situation was justified. While a certain number of cases of the disease are being reported daily, from practically every county and city cause the same report that the disease is mild in type and is not developing as a harr factor in increasing the death rate. Estimates of the number of cases of the disease throughout the State are largely speculative as, in hundreds of cases, with the experience had in the last epidemic, those taken ill are stopping the precautions and using the remedies prescribed last year and are not reporting the cases to health authorities or physicians. Health department officials express the belief, in light of the experience gained in 1918-19 that the fight on the epidemic and the reduction of its spread, as well as the holding of the dethreatic therefrom at a minimum, must rest largely with the individual citizen. Health Officers may urge all manner of precautionary measures, but it is up to each person to take the preventive measures for himself. He should avoid contacts whenever possible, like plenty of fresh air, go warmly chad and dry chad, eat nourishing food and get plenty of sleep. Body resistance will thereby he maintain and may well escape infection. Because of familiarity with the disease it is hoped that, even should the disease take epidemic form throughout the State and assume a more serious type, the death rate may be kept at a low mark. Those who contract the disease should take every precaution, staying the house and taking good care of themselves for at least a fortnight. It is far better to stay in two weeks than to risk pneumonia complications. Thousands fell victims to the last epidemic from sheer failure to avoid exposure. While the present out break is mild in type the State Department of Health urges every community to be prepared for emergency by compiling nursing and hospital arrangements, and facilities, and it urges that every citizen shall preserve every possible precaution that the fatalities from the disease may be kept at the lowest possible aggregate. The features of yesterday's developments were the obvious embarrassment of some of the administration senators over the Viscount Grey letter, the readness of the mild reservationists to follow the leadership of Senator Lokie in the next stage of the trety battle and a stirring speech made by Senator Reed who took the Viscount Grey letter as his text. REED TAUNTS PROPONENTS Declaring that the letter of the British statesman has shown that an Englishman can be fairer to America than a great many American senators, Senator Reed proceeded to mercilessly taunt the treaty proponents for having deferred to give away the American people's right to such an extent that even an Englishman had to raise a voice of protest against the injustice of the proposed sacrifices asterel of America. "While American senators say we should not insist on having as many votes as Great Britain, Lord Grevy says we are entitled to them." Senator Reed shouted in one of his typically eloquent outbursts. "I'm going to get this Englishman to come over here and run for senator in some State," he added, driving home again and again the point that this British statesman clearly demonstrated a killer sense of justice to America than American Senators reporting to have charge of the interests of their constituents." WOULD TAKE PEOPLE'S VOTE It was very obvious that some of the senators were greatly embarrassed ed as the Grey Miscertain took the text of the Vassom Grey letter to prove that the league, as President Wilson wanted it ratified did involve sacrifices which the American people, in justice to themselves should not be called upon to make. After showing how these senators had actually voted to give away rights of the people which Vassom Grey adults should not be served in the interest of Great Britain Senator Reed pleaded that the question of ratifying the league be submitted to the people at the next election. Let it go to the American people: it's their government," he cried, adding, however that Taft and others hasten forward with the plea "for God's sake don't take it to the pee!" YIELD MORE THAN IS ASKED La Is speech Senator Reed said: "I believe it may fairly be said that this bigger disclosures that many senators have been insisting on a sr mer o. American rights, which even differentiate. British opion does not do not injunction the men may coagues here. Never is debate have I reflected on the patriotism or Americanism societies, notwithstanding that the cent and some of his supporters were have practically charged that those who favored amendments in the regime covenant were pro-German, that indeed, has been one of the competent accusations made during the discussion; for it is a fact that not a single responsible German statesman has expressed blimself except in favor of the adoption of the beague. Certainly attacks of this sort should now cease. The most singular feature in this situation is that senators should insist that this nation shall yield more of American rights than the European countries are asking us to yield. Furthermore, many statements which have been made by critics of the cow and whip, when they were made were denied and almost damned on this floor are now shown to have been correct. Their correctness is demonstrated by the admission of Lord Gray. I know there has been very high authority for these charges against the league critics; but is it not now perfectly plain that the treaty has been filled with error and with danger to the republic? TAFT "SYNDICATED PATRIOT" In the beginning we were told it was a perfect document. We were informed that no discussion of it was desirable until after the Presidet return here and first explain it to us. Because of that insistence by the President the chairman of the committee on foreign relations did refrain from taking any part in the discussion at that stage Later, when the President explained the cowardice to the foreign relations committee he gave assurance that every article had been adopted only after the fullest discussion and that like the laws of the Medes and the Persians it could not be changed. The moment any defect was noted the critic calling attention on it was challenged at most as a traitor. From all over the country organized propaganda raised the demand that the document be rattled without any change. Former President Tatt the syndicated part of America, was most servile in his comments, denouncing all who dared criticize. We were required to accept it at once without debate. GRAVE ERRORS IN TEXT The voice of Mr. Taft was only one of the voices of that type speaking for the great financial interests that were backing the propaganda supporting the league. Their organizations and paid agents were working everywhere. Every State was organized, almost every county. And yet before the discussion had proceeded twenty days grave errors were discovered which the authors of the document were compelled to contess. We showed that as originally brought to us the treaty would have wiped out the Monroe doctrine. In reply we were told that the Monroe doctrine had not been injured all the world. Then the authors of the treaty returned to Versailles and while still protesting that the Monroe doctrine had not been injured they wrote into the treaty a new Article XXI, declaring that the Monroe doctrine shall not be affected, thus confessing that we were entirely correct in our charge. Yet the provision that was in inserted for the protection of the Monroe doctrine did not really protect it. It defined it as a regional understanding which was exactly what Lord Salisbury held it to be in the Venezuela case. FEAMED FOR MONROE DOCTRINE Later we learned from the English expositors of the covonant that if ever disagreement should arise a to interpretation of the Monroe doctrine the league would settle the differences. That is a tribunal of seven aliens would make the decision as to a doctrine that has been exclusively an American affair throughout its existence. Thus we would have no power whatever to enforce our doctrine and a doctrine that you cannot enforce amounts to no more than did the tears of the Chinese delegates at Ver sailles, begging for the protection of their country from the outside of the council chamber, while Japan r ttted her sword on the inside; it amounts to no more than did the prayers of the Egyptians for their country's salvation when they were thrown into jail for daring to utter those prayers. The grand circus went on its tour and every performer, from clown to ringmaster, announced that any nation was at liberty to withdraw at its pleasure. We were denounced for claiming anything else; yet, later they admitted that we had been right by putting in the two-year with drawal clause. CHANGE JUSTIFIED OPPONENTS Even that pretending to open the way to get out, really made matters worse, for it provided that a nation could withdraw if its international obligation were entirely discharged and the vote of any one nation would be sufficient to keep us from with drawing. Critics of the covenant observed that the United States might be bound by a mere majority vote in many matters and that Britain could probably control that majority. We were denounced for that and assumed that a unanimous vote would be required in all cases, but, behold, later the revised instrument came to us, admitted that we had been right for it was included in Article V language requiring that decisions should be reached only by the argument of all states represented at the meeting except in cases otherwise specified. Thus it was conceded that we had been correct, although I have no doubt we are still being called persons in some quarters for deciding attention to this state of fact." JAPAN GAINS ADVANTAGE. CHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA lought the provisions of the treaty by which he said the entire nation have divided up the world among themselves. He described the share that each secured Italy in the Near East and in Africa. France in Africa Britain in various parts of the world. Japan in the islands of the Pacific and in Asia described the domination of the world trade routes by the favored nations and showed that by gaining the Pacific island north of the equator or Japan is plenied 2,000 miles nearer to us, cutting us off from the Philip pines, and securing a pivot from which to aim, if ever the two countries are at war a quick blow at the Hawaiian Islands. Now, he continued filled to the foll with the spoils of the war, they would bind to us to consent to all this distribution of the world, and after that to defend them in their possessions forever. Nay, more, they would bind us with our money and with the blood of our sons to guarantee their political integrity and to guard their territories against attack. CAN ONE DISPOSE OF LIQUOR BY REQUEST? Question Raised By Will of Far sighted Resident of Brooklyn. U. S. ATTORNEY SAYS YES Whiskey can't be passed over the bar, but can it be passed on to your heirs and assigns? That's the delicate little question raised by the will of a man who died several days ago in Brooklyn, bequeathing to his heirs his private stock. In the United States, Attorney's office the opinion yesterday was that a man's whiskey lives after him and that the re is nothing in the other wise all embracing Eighteenth Amendment which says nay as regards your right to leave your liquor to whom you will. The only possible difficulty it was thought, might arise in the matter of transporting the liquor from one place to another. Federal Prohibition Agent James S. Shevlin, when questioned, assured a reporter that "If some one else and leaves you ten cases of Scotch that Scotch is yours, I don't know of anything in the liquor law," he said which takes away, man's right to be bounded what is his." And if the IUqr bequeathed to you is yours it's fair enough to assume that you can be permitted to move it from one place to another. Mr. Shevlin was asked what he thought of the proposal of a man who had forty-five barrels of whiskey which he had bought at about $2.75 a gallon and desired to sell to the Government for distribution among the poor who are affiliated with influenza, "I should say that the gentlemen is not lacking in nerve," said Mr. Shevlin.

EDITORIAL COMMENT "The Tribune hopes greatly that Governor Holcomb of Connecticut will see his way to call a special session of his State's Legislature to consider the ratification of the Federal suffrage amendment. The Republicans of New York have an especial interest in seeing the vote of this neighbor ing State cast for this political reform, now inevitable and close at hand. Twenty six States have already ratified and of this number twenty-two have Republican houses. Of eighteen governors who have called special sessions twelve are Republican, six Democratic. This overwhelming Republican support of the amendment followed naturally upon its proposal by a Republican Congress, chiefly through Republican votes. Three Democratic States—Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi—have already refused to ratify. No Republ Kean State has as yet refused to ratify. Of the remaining nine Republican States which have not yet ratified prompt and favorably action is a certainty in four, probably in 3 others and clearly doubtful only in 'Connecticut and New Jersey. In the latter State the question is compled by the desire for a referendum on the prohibition amendment, which may delay action on the suffrage amendment as well. If Governor Hol comb calls no special session Connecticut is likely to be the only Republi can State refusing to consider the suffrage amendment in time to perit of women's voting in 1920. It is a splendid record that the Republican party has made in this new grant of political rights. We cannot but hope that a record so begun will be properly rounded out. There should not be a single Republican State reusing its assent when the necessary ratification of thirty six States is achieved. There are three Democratic States—Arizona, Oklahoma and New Jersey—which will unquestionably ratify in time leaving only States of the Solid South in dissent."—New York Tribune. That the Commoner has lost none of his vigor of assertion is shown by his declaration at Norfolk that if Democratic National Chairman Cupmings keeps fellowship with the wet Jersey governor, "He'll never be chairman of the Democratic committee again if I can help it." Mr. Bryan views the coddling of Governor Edwards by Mr. Cummings with unaffected scorn, and his ire is aroused. Here then is the postmortem issue of wet and dry become a stone of stumbling in the high Democratic ranks. Even the dying groups of John Barleycock muster of being music in the ears of Mr. Bryan are exasperating to him. Most other persons view the threat of the Jersey governor to make any part of his State as wet as the Atlantic ocean as but a bit of rhetoric. Just as the bill down at Annapolis to penalize any Maryland official who shall seek to put into effect the national dry enforcement law is to be taken as a bit of the phantasm of the times. These things are amusing to philosopher, and Mr. Bryan should really not threaten to eliminate a fel low high councilor of his party or his own harikari over the little matel of planting daisies upon the grave of Old John."—Baltimore American. EBERT TIRES OF OFFICE. (By Karl H. Von Wiegand.) Berlin, Jan. 28.—Haunted by the specters of a Red revolution on the one hand and that of counter-revolution by the irreconcilable monarchists on the other, his home fenced in by barbed wire entanglements and fortified by machine guns, with armed guards posted in front and rear, Friedrich Ebert is said to be weary of his job as President of the German republic. Not withstanding the peevish and indignant denials of Wilhelmstrasse whenever this is suggested reports said to enanimate from his personal friends, are persistently circulated to the effect that he is anxiously looking forward to the day when he can step out and become a private citizen again. Ebert is not a rugged character. He is extremely sensitive and suffer under criticism, of which a great deal is constantly directed against him. He is also said to be disappointed at having found it necessary to resort to the militaristic and repressive measures of the old regime which are contrary to his principles. Wilhelm II, in the worst days of his autocracy was never so surrounded by guards as Ebert and Bauer are today, and this is said to be beginning to get on the President's nerves. THE ROAD TO THE NATIONAL POOR HOUSE. Governor Smith put his finger on the solution of the living cost problem when he proposed to settle a wage dispute with more pay for the workers provided they would increase their output and their employers would check their waste sufficiently to save the public from paying the increased wages in higher prices. Apply that sound rule to all indus tries and the advancing cost of living would stop dead short in its tracks. Let the economic principle work to its logical conclusion, with every new dollar and old dollar of wages more than earned, and the inordinate prices which have beenounting incessantly would turn sharp downward. The fifty cent dollar would become in turn a dollar of seventy five cents and of one hundred cents. A day of solid labor at an American THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA COOKE BROTHERS Funeral Directors and Embalmers WITH ENTIRE MOTOR EQUIPMENT INCLUDING AMBULANCE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED MEN ON DUTY ALL NIGHT Established 1891 COOKE B Funeral Directors WITH ENTIRE MOTOR EQUIPM SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 2202-4 MADISON AVENUE standard wage once more would ex change into adequate food, comfort able clothes and a good home. Nobody is fool enough to think that cutting a loaf of bread in half makes it two leaves. Nobody is fool enough to think that if it takes him an hour to walk three miles to his work he can get just as fast by walking at the rate of a mile and a half an hour. Yet millions of workers in this country today are foolish enough to imagine that when it takes a square day's work to earn a living they can get it by doing half a day's work. Millions of producers in this country demanding more food to eat and more clothes to wear, better roofs over their heads, and better furnishings in their houses, are foolish enough to imagine that they can get all those demands satisfied by producing less food, less clothing, less material for houses—doing less work at anything and everything. A man works at raising potatoes or weaving cloth, or chopping wood or setting type, or pudding steel or whatever it may be. He must live out of what he produces by that work. The more he produces the more there will be for him to get out of it. The less he produces the less there will be for him to get out of it, no matter what dollar marks he or any body paints on K's wages, no matter what sociological laws are passed no matter what form of government exists or is instituted. The nation works at all the things at which this, that and the other indivual works. The nation, embrace all the individuals can have and distribute and consume and enjoy only what it- produces. The nation can work hard, live well and grow rich or the nation can shirk and grow poor in real wealth—not the dollar marks, but the food, the clothing, the houses all the necessaries and luxuries to which Americans have been accustomed. As the nation goes—up or down—so must its individual workers go with it. If the American people will buckle down to work and for every square day's pay deliver a square day's production the high cost of living can be made to stop pillaging everybody's income. If they go on leafing on their job of production they are sticking to the road which leads to the nation al poorhouse. (N. Y.

It will require and interest you. We more acme people go, the more they want to spend. The world may be getting better, and brethron this world certainly can't show it. can worry yourself into the green yard and you can duce your feet into the same haven of rest. You can pray without being a Christian and you can sin although you are a Christian. Don't forget that. Some people never get through want and one thing before they are think about wanting something else. When you are in trouble, go to God. The drag things look about here now, they don't seem to be any body to whom you can go. Though weather has been the portion of most people. The automobile folks have used all of the 'cuss-word' s in the found in the dictionary and more of their own coining. Being sick these days is natural. The doctors say they are worked to death, but none of them will die. They are letting their patients at least to the dying part of the bust, while they proceed to live. at man with a good, loving wife, who never wants anything is bless- ed in this world and he is hoping for a heaven for this wife in the world to come. The preachers are still trying to save the sinners and most of these preachers find many of the sin- ners in their own churches, numbers of whom profess to have found a religion of which they know absolute nothing. a white woman wanted to kill a white man in order to get him to害 her and then she killed him after he married her. Now, although she not at him five times, she does not remember anything about it, so says. He's dead and he doesn't remember anything about it either. Who give it to the poor, lendeth to the Lord." The trouble is that so people care about lending either to the Lord or giving to the poor want everything for themselves. Yet other folks get it in the way that Igot mine," is their Colored folks love the white folks. They abuse them at times, but they give them their money; they patronize their places of business; they send their newspapers; they nurse their children; they pray at their shrines; they do what they ask them to do; they help put some of them in prisons and they abuse many of their own people. What is it that the colored folks will not do for the white folks and what is it that the white folks will do for the colored folks? UPHOLDING THE LAW. The authorities at Lexington, Kentucky set a shining example to the authorities at Omaha, Nebraska when they saw to it that the law be exercised in the punishment of a criminal and not the will of an irresponsible mob. For weeks, the legal department at Omaha was trying to determine, just who composed the mob and although the Mayor of the city, who was brutally beaten and scandalously treated for carrying out his sworn obligations identified certain members of the mob, these men set up an alibi and a hung jury was the result. There is no need for this kind of trial at Lexington, Kentucky, for the State militia identified the would beenchers at the muzzles of their rifles. Some of them lie cold and still in death while many others have been wounded. Their friends are not in the position to say that they were some where else when the riotous and murderous assemblage took place. We have always held that the best way to deal with a mob is to shoot the life out of it. The no neighborhood of the courthouse was no proper place for people, who were supporting the legal authorities. The colored man has been tried and convicted and there was not the slightest likelihood that he would be A colored jury would have been as prompt in convicting him as would have been a white jury and accordingly there was absolutely no excuse or justification for this unlawful assemblage. It takes time to educate some people up to the fundamental principles of the law. The quickest way to do it though is by the method adopted at Lexington, Kentucky. We regret that a loss of life took place, but is is far better to sacrifice this life in upholding the law than it would have been to sacrilege the law in upholding the mob. The price in the long run would have been much dearer and the damage done to the commonwealth would have ultimately equalled millions of money. Lynch-law must go! PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS The present condition of the world is as surprising as it is embarrassing to the Great Powers. The professions of fair dealings and common honesty have been found to be a diplomatic sham. President Woodrow Wilson has been a central figure in the world's affairs and despite the assertions of his enemies he still occupies the centre of the stage so to speak. Justt what will be the outcome of it all, time alone can tell. It is a self evident fact that President Wilson's Fourteen Points were repudiated by the Allies, just as the Versailles Treaty negotiated by him has been virtually repudiated by the United States Senate. It is plainly evident that big men with little minds now control the destinies of many nations. The demand of the Allies for the "War Guilty" appears upon its face to be a huge joke. This demand will certainly not be recognized in the South land, for it is a k'n to the position taken by the radicals at the close of the Civil War, when it was alleged that the men, who took up arms against the National Government were guilty of treason. President Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy became a fugitive and finally a prisoner at Fortress Monroe. The confederation of States had been recognized as a obliged slave power and this automatically protected all of the commanders of the Confederate forces. The crimes if any must be assumed by the State. We take it then that this demand is made more to bring about the retreatment of these men from active life and to limit their visits to cities in their own country than to any serious desire to have them extradited for trial. The United States Senate has again breathed into the defunct Versailles Treaty, the "breath of life." Some people seem to think that this is only preliminary to consigning it to eternal death. The most significant thing now before the public is the decision of the Democratic House caucus to release to the rear the measure promoted by President Wilson for universal compulsory training. It does appear to be somewhat inconsistent for this statesman to advocate a treaty of peace and a League of Nations, which are guaranteed to insure and assure perpetual peace among the nations of the world and then on the other hand recommend to the Congress a law providing for war by the requiring of every youth in the country to report for duty and be trained for armed conflict. So far as the labor situation is concerned, it is as menacing as it is dangerous. One class of men are demanding more pay than it is possible for many other classes to receive. This will lead ultimately to a clash be tween the labor interests themselves. Hon. Samuel Gempers is the central figure in the labor crisis. He has been a close personal friend of Presst THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA dent Woodrow Wilson, but there now seems to be an estrangement which promises to be lasting. It would be interesting reading to peruse just what Mr. Gompers now thinks of President Wilson and what President Wilson now thinks of Mr. Gompers. As for Hon. Will am Jennings Bryan, that remarkable statesman is spoiling for a fight and he will soon be accommodated. He has just won "with hands down" his fight against universal compulsory military training. He is going to San Francisco with all to gain and practically nothing to lose. He is championing prohibition and woman's suffrage. Both room to be filling planks. When the Democratic National Convention adopts a prohibition plank and a woman's suffrage platform then the day of miracles is at hand with Hon. William Jennings Bryan as the chief magician.

DISHOP COPPIN IN PORTSMOUTH "Unwritten History of the Negro was the subject of a thoroughly instructive and entertaining lecture delivered at Old Enamel A. M. E. Church Tuesday night January 27th by Bishop Levi J. Cotpn, D. D. LL, D. Bishop Coppin was born in Freshericktown, Md., in 1848 and he is particularly fitted by long years of training and experience to lecture ably as he does, on such a timely subject. In the course of his lecture he said and emphasized the fact that: "A complete history of the Negro in America is unwritten and it is un写table. Much that would be interesting, instructive, inspiring and valuable, went to the gravy with those who had no possible means of transmitting it except by the uncertain and unreliable method of tradition. "Much that comes down to us through the maze, other written or by tradition is, indeed sember and sad." It becomes the historian of the pres ent day to throw side lights upon the past, by exhibiting some of its better, products lest the skeptical contin ue to ask: "Can any good thing come out of Nazireth?" In this age of widespread worship of money it is decidedly worthwhile to impress upon our people the powerful influence and large usefulness of great and good personalities like Bishop Coppin and Dr. E. H. Hunter who have attained their positions through the betterment of mankind aside from the purely commercial. The Virginians have again and again been highly complimented on their wisdom in selecting Dr. Hunter and putting him forward for the Bishopric. For a number of years the Virginians have listened to Dr. Hunter an able eloquent, scholarly divine, pastor of Old Emmanuel Church, Ports mouth, Va. and for an equal number of years the Virginians have listened to and followed his instruction, sound advice and have profited greatly there by. The growth, development and wide spread influence of Old Emanuel A. M. E. Church under the pastorate of De. E. H. Hunter is conclusive evidence that he's so organized mentally morally and spiritually as to be a magnet around which the forces for good are naturally and irresistibly drawn. The Bishop was much pleased with the work of Dr Hunter and his church and for those pleasing results they were highly complimented.

The great temporal and spiritual interests involved call for the best training, experience and personal influence the church can offer so thinks Bishop Lee for shaping and giving direction to our future course. We must care for the spiritual, intellectual, social and moral uplift and progress of the racial group for which great brains and hearts conceived and wrought so nobly and effectively. Like Bishop Coppin, Bishop-Lee is a very warm personal friend of Dr. Hunter whom all are working and hoping to see elevated to the bishop rite at the next general conference to be held in St. Louis during the month of May. Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee, D. D., L.L. D., the senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church and the supervisor of the ninth district which consists of Tennessee and Alabama, preached at Old Emanuel A. M. E. Church at 7:30 o'clock Sunday night. He was en route to the Bishop's Council which convenes in Baltimore, Maryland, February 12 to 15 inclusive and while here he preached also at St. John's A. M. E. Church in Norfolk. Bishop Loe is an instructive speaker and an interesting character, having worked his way through Wither force University, after having reached manhood and subsequently became president of that university.

Along with the scriptural test which every aspirant to the bishop should meet that sacred office demands ten of sound judgment a super abundance of common sense, lofty ideals, and broad vision. Men who can and will push the principles and claims of the church for brotherhood into every organized effort for human uplift. They must be men of courage mental training, large culture and deep spiritual insight. All of these qualifications and traits are possessed by Dr. E. H. Hunter in eminent degree. He is being supported by the unanimous endorsement of the conferences of North Carolina his native State, and the earnest persuasion of leading churchmen, both ministerial and lay from every section of our universal domain. rea wong inca 1 RIG esi tog aS Se a > SS SEE Be ac abn Gd neces EE Arrest Ree IE NN RE SOCIO Trae icsnccescs feats UN TT OR, DITOR, SE gemmnioncin tented tor goblin Caceres Sash ect Sa a a eonsonrnion saree 0a mela ae Solis, nario: sine mA a Beek a colored Journal. {t will native and intecost you. 1 x J Wee moro acimo poople 9°, the ware they want to spend.

DOBBS DRUG CO., Memphis, Tenn. 41 THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FARMVILLE NEWS. Sunday was a glorious day with the members and friends of First Baptist Church. The sun was shining brightly and many found their way to church. The Sunday School was well attended—the members listened attentively to Rev. Prince Condolecea a native of Africa who was present. At the hour for service after the usual form of offering, the pastor, Rev. Wiley read for a scripture lesson son the 20th chapter of Matthew; prayer by Rev. McDaniel; the choir then sang. Speak to My Soul Deur Jesus, the pastor then introduced Rev. Condolee, a native of Africa, who is attending the Virginia Seminary, in Lynchburg, Va. The young man told us many things about his people in the dark jungles of Africa; of his capture by the Baptist Missionary and of how the Lord saved him. There was not a person present who was not deeply touched while he talked. The B. Y. P, U, held its services Sunday night from 6:30 to 7:30. A short program was rendered by the children. The Sunday School Superintendent, Mr. A. N. Lancaster conducted the unfolding of the Pledge. He spoke in a very earnest and effective way for a about twenty minutes, then he called on others to have some thing to say. Rev. Wiley and Rev. Condolece both gave some very interesting thoughts. Service of the union closed at 7:30 and Rev. Condolece was again introduced to an overflowing and eager crowd who came out to hear him. He talked on his home and South Africa. Those who did not hear him missed a treat. He left Sun day night on the late train for Lynch burg where he will resume his studies. Deacon P. W. Moore, brother Andrew Jackson, Mrs. Hilton, McGhee and Mrs. Maggie Watkins are much better. We have many cases of "flu" in our town this week. Mrs. Lille Brown family is down with the exception of Ernestine and Mr. Brown. We all hope they will be out again soon. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown are reported down also. It is reported that Mr. Goodhope is dead and the rest of his family is in with the "flu." Mrs. Maria Thornton is improving. Mrs. Violet Moore Bacon is home on the account of her fathers illness. Mrs. Lillian Woodson is much bot ter at this writing. Mr. Frank Holmes, his brother, George, his sister Carrie and husband all have the "flu." On account of the bad weather last week the ladies of the First Baptist church did not have their Age part. So they gave the party last night (Monday). It was indeed a grand at fair. Every body left saying they really enjoyed themselves. While we had quite a number of aged persons from the proof of their bags, but Mr. Bolssseau proved that he was well nigh the hundred mark. The committee was: Mrs. Laura Wiley, M. A. Ward, Mattle Branch, Julia Brown, Jennie Watson and Mrs. Mattie Allen. Mrs. Ellen Banks and Mrs. Amanda Branch were on the sick list, so they couldn't serve. The next for the sisters to have will be Martha Washington's party. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Watkins' child have bought for their parents a home on South street. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Blanton lost their eight weeks old son last week. Mr. Jackson Glave and Miss Matte Allen are looking much better since they barely escaped the Plu. Rev. Price's sister and her husband Mr. and Mrs. Paul Watt, spent Monday night with Rev. and Mrs. Price. Rev. Frank Ell's our great ginger lost his mind last week and was sent away Saturday to Petersburg for treatment. His sister, Bettie has been down Petersburg waiting on his daughter Rosa who is sick. She has returned home now. Rev. Nelson Jordan, Jr., has been in town visiting his parents. He is from Washington, D. C. BEULAH A. M. E CHURCH Services at Deelah A. M. B. church Sunday were not largely attended owing to so many of our members being stricken with the dreadful disease influenza. However the services were solemn and impressive The pastor Rev. J. R. Augustus discourses in the morning upon "The two men who went up to the temple to Pray' the Pharisee and the Publican. He beautifully explained the importance of cornessness and humbleness when we pray to our Heavenly Parent. And said also, (using many beautiful illustrations) to bear up his message that whilst God will-hear us at all times, when we really pray, anywhere and everywhere yet we must pray in His temple often; the place where His Hon or dweloth. In His closing remarks the aid of the Holy Spirit, he retuked the Pharisael Spirit seen so prominently in the lives of men in these modern times and called upon all present to contrite of heart; for a lowly and contrite heart God will not despair. Consequently said He the Publican, though sinful, was recritent, acknowledged his sins in a spirit of trembling and unworthiness before God and went down to his home justified. God will hear humble, earnest and contrite prayers. But, he who builds his so called prayers, upon the lofty pedestal of self-rightness and haughtiness, must fall for he stands upon sinking sand. For except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees you can not enter the Kingdom of oblivion. At night it was our privilege and joy, to hear a burning and brief maze. On the importance of waiting in God's Spiritual chambers, which are established in the "Household of Faith" until the Deliverer comes. The pastor and members desire to make known to their many friends that their pastor, Rev J. R.
