WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library RECEIVED MAR 20 1920 VIRGINIA STATE LIBRARY RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVII, NUMBER 19 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1920 Newport, News, Va., March 15.—To all of the members and friends of the Virginia Baptist State Convention: Greetings.—Truly this is the day of big things both in church and state along many lines. Men are getting a brighter and better vision of life and its responsibility than ever before. The human horizon is being deterged as the days go by. All the Christian denominations are coming to themselves and are "doing them solves proud" by their unprecedented efforts for education and missions; for this inadable line work "millions" life but common financial terms. The southern whites of our own denomination have put on seventy five million dollar drive for the spirit and intellectual uplift of the people. And a neat sum of this is to be devoted to the betterment of our people. Such large hearted help is not intended to encourage our slackness, but to aspire to exert, to apply ourselves more stronely for our own advancement. Brethren, we can not afford to stop here and while away the time; but let us go forth as never before. Present times and conditions demand colored Baptists to "arise and rohe," in the work of making all men know and realize that the "light is come and the glory of the Lord" is shining upon them. In view of such ends we have planed a hundred and fifty thousand dollar drive to reach a glorious completion five years hence. Two years ago while in session at Zion Baptist Church, Newport News, the convention decided to have a great reunion of all of our state bodies every seven years on Seminary Hill. So this will bring the completion of this big drive in the reunion meeting of our convention, the Woman's, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. State convention five years from now on the Seminary Campus. To realize the amount in view it only remains for the men's convention to average twenty thousand dollars a year and all together of our other state bodies to average ten thousand per year. This can be readily done by a "strong pull, a long pull and a pull together." There is dire need of money to meet the demands of conditions at the "School on the hill." The dormitory space there is fill ed up and overrunning, while many worthy young people have to be turn ed away from the doors of that great institution. Under the guidance of that master workman, President Woods, we are soon to erect a building approximating seventy five thousands and dollars. Let us push forward his work in the name of the Lord and His leaders. Our President, and Faculty well do serve our help and encouragement. Our President, and Faculty will serve our help and encouragement. Brethren the time has past for our leaders to do nothing for the work all the year and come to the convention with diarrhea of words and constipation of thought in effort to get by, as some used to do. In our convention now when a brother has so much to say his work record is looked up and if it is found to be deficient, that talk is simply put down as mouth and moment. And no real man would like to be so estimated. President King and many of his assistants are doing their best to make the Staunton meeting a red letter affair exceeding all proceedence, from all viewpoints. Think of it—the convention is only about 58 days away. And if some of us would make any show at our next meeting, these few days must be very easy ones indeed. Brethren the time and conditions are demanding of us means with which to do the educational and missionary work of the Lord. Let all of our Pastors and churches get busy in the cities, in rural and everywhere. Rally, brethren, rally! And make all hearts happy in Staunton at the great Mt. Zion Baptist church, May 12, 16, 1920. —Miss Alice C. Chiles, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Chiles, left last Saturday for Chicago with Miss Wright. She is engaged in the War Community.

THE MINISTERS CONFERENCE The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity was out in full last Monday at 11:30 A. M. The meeting was opened in due form, President, Dr. B. Payne presiding. The order of the day was called for and Dr. William H. Stokses got the floor and made brief remarks about the Inter-Church World Movement. He being our State Director, said that he had invited Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus Va., who is an executive member of the movement, to speak to the Conference on the subject before the body. Dr. Graham was master of the situation. His words were eloquent and profound. The Conference was moved to unquestioned approval of the subject of world-wide evangelism outlined by the speaker. A committee was appointed, headed by Dr. Payne, to draw up plans of operation. The committee on program was again referred to, which committee has been asleep for more than four months. I suppose it will make its report for the year sometime in the next two months. The committee on the Secretary's report is in the same box. Since most of our members are out of their sick beds now, we think that those who are on committees of importance to our work should render their report. Friends are always welcomed to our meetings.

Dr. Pickens is preeminently the foremost orator before the American public today. He has addressed audiences all over this country with a very pleasing and helpful effect. His address here was of deep interest and highly instructive to every citizen of Portsmouth, and the audience was unstinted in their praise and appreciation of his wit, deep wisdom and his clear and keen reasoning.

Wanted Judge to Order Segregation in Baltimore, Md. Baltimore, Md., March—Saying they feared an invasion by Negroes in the 900 block North Wolfe street, a delegation of women visited Justice Rohleder at the Northeastern Police Court and asked if something could be done. They told Justice Rohleder that 3 weeks ago white, people living in 933 North Wolfe street moved and that after the house had been repaired the landlady brought several Negroes to the house and they agreed to rent it. The climax to their feelings came yesterday when the new tenants appeared at the house in possession of the keys and went inside to clean up preparatory to moving in. The women told Justice Rohleder that all of them owned their houses and had lived in that block for years. After listening to the story of the women, the magistrate told them that there was nothing that he could do to prevent the Negroes moving in because the higher courts had ruled that the segregation act was no longer valid.

REPUBLICANS BAR COLORIED MEN FROM CITY, MASS MEETING. Cordon of Police Help Enforce 'Lily White' Rule Adopted by Leaders (Michmond, Va., Times Dispatch, March 14, 1920.) Incursed at the alleged steam-roller tactics employed at the republican mass-meeting held in Hustings Court, Part II, last night, a number of prominent local men held a second meeting after the first one had adjourned and elected delegates to the district and State conventions. Delegates had already been elected at the first meeting but those who called the second meeting, marked that half play had been denied them by the presiding officer, and that the first meeting was irregular, in that it was not an open meeting. The split in the ranks came over the question of whether the black man is to sit in the councils of the Republican party. A cordon of potes was drawn up in front of the court house last night and scores of Negroes who applied for admission were told that they could not enter. It was against this, attitude that speakers at the second meeting protested. Edgar Allan, former postmaster of Richmond, said that he stood for justice to white and black alike, regardless of those who might term him a "nigger lover." COLORED MEN AT SECOND MEET ING. About a dozen colored men lingered on the outside of the building and attended the last meeting. No attempt was made to elect colored delegates to either convention or name colored men on the city committee. The major portion of the Negro voters did not remain for the second meeting, however, but moved on to the True Reformers' Hall where they held a mass meeting of their own. It was decided at this meeting that a mass-meeting be held on Tuesday night at which time the colored Republicans will decide what steps they are to take to meet the situation. J. R. Pollard is the leader of this move and stated last night that a State convention will be called if the Roanoke committee denies justice to colored voters. Roy E. Cabell, former United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue registered a vigorous protest at what he termed the "outrageous meth eds" employed at the first meeting in electing delegates and members of the city committee. He said this protest would be taken to Roanoke and if necessary, to the national convention in Chicago. "The fight will start in earnest when the district convention meets at noon tomorrow in the courtroom. Both delegations from Richmond will protest against seating the other and neither will have a voice in the preliminary proceedings of the convention. The delegates from elsewhere must first decide which of the two factions is entitled to a recognition. Sixteen delegates were appointed at the first meeting each of these being entitled to one-eighth of one vote at both the State and district conventions. The last meeting was content to elect eight delegates to each convention, each of them to have a one-fourth vote. ALLAN DENOUNCES RING RULE Edgar Allan pronounced the "ring rule in the Republican party more damnable than any in the Democratic party, and stated that his party stood for "equal rights for all and special privileges to none." S. L. Thomas was elected a delegate at the first meeting, but remanded for the indignation gathering and announced himself opposed to the "steam-roller tactics" by which the elections had been held. He was elected a delegate at the second meeting also and is therefore the only man absolutely sure of recognition at the district and State conventions. John R. Wylie called the first meeting to order and announced emphatically that it was "purely a white man's meeting." Twenty-five or thirty who attended the meeting indicated their opposition to this attitude by remaining to the second meeting. The following delegates were elected at the first meeting to the State convention, to be held in Roanoke on Wednesday: Henry W. Anderson, Joseph P. Brauny, Joseph W. Stewart, John H. Lyons, Melvin Flegenheimer, John B. Billey, Claude M. Dean, S. L. Thomas, W. R. Miller, H. W. Walden) L. H. Drew, James M. Morgan, Bowman Wiltshire, F. J. Mitchr, R. A. Bayliss and Joseph Wallerstein. The following alternates were elected: Oscar Hooker, H. F. Waldrop, S. L. Snyder, John R. Wylie, C. M. Monky, A. A. Page, John M. Dyall, R. E. Freeman, O. H. Russell, John L. Grubb, John F. Marchant, H. H. Hoffman, N. R. Cottrell, W. B. Bayliss, Edwin L. Levy and C. A. Overton. Melvin Flegenheimer was elected chairman of the city committee. Delegates to the district convention are as follows: Joseph P. Brady, Joseph W. Stewart, Melvin Flegenheimer, H. F. Waldrop, John R. Wylie and H. W. Walden. Alternates R. E. Freeman, George L. Snyder, P. J. Mitchell Paul Tunstall, L. O. Gallagher and H. M. Burrows. Archer A. Page presided at the sec ond meeting and C. C. Cary was elect ed secretary. The following delegates were appointed, the same ones to at tend both the State and district con ventions. S. L. Thomas, J. C. Bristow, W. M. Williams, Archer, A. Page C. B. Cary, Mark R.

Soldier Improved Stove Company INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF MAINE.—AUTHORIZED CAPITAL, $500,000. This Corporation was organized to market the Soldier improved stove, the invention of a colored mechanic, William Soldier of Boston. This stove has been pronounced the most remarkable invention ever taken out in this line. Mr. Soldier has perfected what every man has realized was sure to come in time—the combining of a cooking stove and a hot water heater capable of heating from three to seven rooms through a system of radiators. This stove is a cooking stove, very little larger in size and appearance than the common cooking range. It is made in various sizes and the combination coal and gas range contains a gas heated copper coil that will furnish boiling hot water in two minutes provided your coal fire is out. This is a very handy feature during the warm season and is in addition to the regular burners and gas oven. The Company are buying booklets showing these various styles printed and as soon as they are completed one will be sent each stockholder.

WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE VOLUME XXXVII, NUMBER 19 DR. GALVIN AND THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION: Newport News, Va., March 15. To all of the members and friends of the Virginia Baptist State Convention: Greetings. Truly this is the day of big things both in church and state along busy lines. Men are getting a brighter and better vision of life and its responsibility than ever before. The human horizon is being enlarged as the days go by. All the christian denominations are coming to themselves and are "doing their selves proud" by their unprecedented efforts for education and missions. For this longible line work "millions" do but common financial terms. The southern whites of our own deposition have put on seventy five million dollar drive for the spirit and intellectual uplift of the people. And a neat sum of this is to be devoted to the betterment of our people. Such large hearted help is not intended to encourage our slackness, but to aspire to exert, to apply ourselves more stronely for our own advancement. Brethren, we can not afford to stop here and while away the time; but let us go forth as never before. Present times and conditions demand colored Baptists to "arise and go hence," in the work of making all men know and realize that the "light is come and the glory of the Lord" is shining upon them. In view of such ends we have planed a hundred and fifty thousand dollar drive to reach a glorious conpletion five years hence. Two years ago while in session at Zion Baptist Church, Newport News, the convention decided to have a great reunion of all of our state bodies every seven years, on Seminary Hill. So this will bring the completion of this big drive in the reunion meeting of our convention, the Woman's, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. State convention five years from now on the Seminary Campus. To realize the amount in view it only remains for the men's convention to average twenty thousand dollars a year and all together of our other state bodies to average ten thousand per year. This can be readily done by a "strong pull, a long pull and a pull together." There is dire need of money to meet the demands of conditions at the "School on the hill." The president dormitory space there is filled up and overruning, while many worthy young people have to be turned away from the doors of that great institution. Under the guidance of that master workman, President Woods, we are soon to erect a building approximating seventy fives and dollars. Let us push forward his work in the name of the Lord and His leaders. Our President and Faculty well deserve our help and encouragement. Brother the time has past for our leaders to do nothing for the work all the year and come to the convention with diarrhea of words and constipation of thought in effort to get by, as some used to do. In our convention now when a brother has so much to say his work record is booked up and if it is found to be deficient, that talk is simply put down as mouth and moment. And no real man would like to be so estimated. President King and many of its assistants are doing their best to make the Staunton meeting a red letter affair exceeding all proceedence. From all viewpoints. Think of it, the convention is only about 58 days away. And if some of us would make any show at our next meeting, these few days must be very easy ones indeed. Briethen the time and conditions are demanding of us means with which to do the educational and missionary work of the Lord. Let all of our Pastors and churches get busy in the cities, in rurals and everywhere. Rally, briethen, rally! And make all hearts happy in Staunton at the great Mt. Zion Baptist church, May 12, 16, 1920. I am yours for the work, —A. A. GALVIN. 2005 Madison Avenue, Newport News, Va. --Miss Alice C. Chiles, daughter of of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Chiles, left for Saturday for Chicago with Miss Wright. She is engaged in the War Community Service and will visit many western cities before her return.

He is a candidate for the bishopric and he has received on courageous news over the country active to his life's ambition. Upon his return, he will go direct to New York. Bishop Coppin is supporting Rev. Dr. Carey of Chicago for the honor this year. It is understood that at least four new bishops will be chosen at St. Louis in May. --- OUR GREAT EVANGELIST HERE Moore Street Baptist Church, Rev. R. O. Johnson, D. D. Rev. R. O. Johnson, D. E.

THE MINISTERS CONFERENCE The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity was out in full last Monday at 11:30 A. M. The meeting was opened in due form, President, Dr. E. Payne presiding. The order of the day was called for and Dr. William H. Stokes got the floor and made brief remarks about the Inter-Church World Movement. He being our State Director, said that he had invited Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va., who is an executive member of the movement, to speak to the Conference on the subject before the body. Dr. Graham was master of the situation. His words were eloquent and profound. The Conference was moved to unquestioned approval of the subject of world-wide evangelism as outlined by the speaker. A committee was appointed, headed by Dr. Payne, to draw up plans of operation. The committee on program was again referred to, which committee has been asleep for more than four months. I suppose it will make its report for the year sometime in the next two months. The committee on the Secretary's report is in the same box. Since most of our members are out of their sick beds now, we think that those who are on committees of importance to our work should render their report. Friends are always welcomed to our meetings.

Baltimore, Md., March—Saying they feared an invasion by Negroes in the 900 block North Wolfe street, a delegation of women visited Justice Robleder at the Northeastern Police Court and asked if something could be done. They told Justice Robleder that 3 weeks ago whit, people living in 933 North Wolfe street moved and that after the house had been repaired the landlady brought several Negroes to the house and they agreed to sent it. The climax to their feelings came yesterday when the new tenants appeared at the house in possession of the keys and went inside to clean up preparatory to moving in. The women told Justice Rohleder that all of them owned their houses and had lived in that block for years. After listening to the story of the women, the magistrate told them that there was nothing that he could do to prevent the Negroes moving in because the higher courts had ruled that the segregation act was no longer valid.

Donouces Regular Organization as "Spurious Representatives In solently Attacking Homes," Miami, Fla., March --The platform adopted by the New York Democratic State Convention presents an issue which, in Democratic councils, must overshadow every other issue until it is repudiated or indorsed by the Democratic party of the nation, and if indorsed it will become the only important issue in the presidential campaign. The plank is printed in the press dispatches, reads; "We are unalterably opposed to prohibition by Federal amendment. We believe it to be an unreasonable interference with the rights of the State as guaranteed by the Constitution. We feel that the recent enactment was the imposition of the ideas of an active minority against the wishes of the great majority of the American people. We therefore declare for its speedy repeal, and to the end that the personal liberty of the people of our state may be thoroughly safeguarded until such time as this repeal may be brought about, we declare the right of our State in the exercise of its sovereign power to so construe the concurrent clause of the eighteenth amendment as to be in accord with the liberal and reasonable views of our people." HARPS ON WORD "UNALTER ABLE." The plank begins with a declaration of opposition ("unalterably opposed") to a provision now embodied in the Federal Constitution and as much a part thereof as the Bill of Rights, the provision for the election of a President and Congress, the provision for declaring war and concluding peace, or any other provision of that organic law. It is not only opposition, but unalterable opposition—an opposition that no conceivable reason, logic or condition can change. The reason given for this unalterable opposition is that it is "an unreasonable interference with the rights of the State as guar anteed by the Constitution." The excuse given—not the fact or even the reason but the excuse—is that those who wrote the platform feel that the recent enactment was the imposition of the ideas of an active minority against the wishes of a great majority of the American people. It is worth while to notice the in sincerity of the two sentences above quoted. The opposition cannot be bead upon any real belief that it interfere with constitutional rights, he cause the Constitution rights, because the Constitution itself provides a way by which it can be amended—that is, in fact, the most important provision in the Constitution. LEAD CAN'T BIND THE LIVING The dead have no right to bind the living. A Constitution made 130 years ago can hardly be invoked against the recorded will of the people, recently expressed in an amendment adopted in accordance with the terms of the Constitution itself. If the prescott generation now has no right to change the Constitution how long will it be before it will acquire such a right, or if not this generation, what generation in the future will be able to and by constitutional methods to a Constitution written in 1789? The Constitution has already been amended eighteen times and the nineteenth amendment is nearly ratified. When the Constitution was written slavery existed in many of the States, an institution that had come down from the most ancient times, and yet it was abolished. The Constitution provided for the election of Senators by State Legislatures, but in 1913 an amendment was adopted which changed the moth oil of electing Senators and provided for election by popular vote instead of by State Legislatures. This (prohibition) is the only amendment that the Democratic State Convention of New York sees fit to "unalterably" oppose. And this opposition is in spite of the fact that this amendment has been ratified by forty-five States New York included among the number. All but three of the forty eight States have ratified the prohibition amendment, the only States failing among Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. GID TO NEGRO BY I. W. W. IN THE WEST. Literature Adorned With Blood Spots Laid Before Arkansas Body. Little Rock, Ark. March 12.—I. W. W. Literature, which is being circulated among the Negroes of Arkansas was presented at the meeting here of the state interracial commission by Joseph W. Booker, president of a local Negro college. The Literature, adorned with blood spots, says in part: "The workers of every race must join together. Trades unions do not want the Negro, and the L. W. W. admits the Negro to full membership." The commission appointed a committee of Negroes to arrange for A REVELATION ! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SAALS by Lucinda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and梦 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 bury the dead, and this is already in the land. The book is sold at 60 cents and is on sale at Mrs. Davenport's, 710 N. First Street, also at Mr. O. R. Robinson's Wonderful Hair Grower and Restorer, 1103 W. Leigh Street, Richmond, Va.

The lives of Booker and other Negro signers, it was reported, have been threatened. SUNDAY HOLDS BIG MEETING. Colored Audience of 14,000 Lifted the Roof Singing Plantation Melodies. Portsmouth, Va., March 4.—The biggest audience of colored people, gathered under one roof in this section of the country, cheered, wept and sang to Billy Sunday at the tabernacle last week. Fourteen thohsand melodious No gro voices sang in perfect harmony, "Everybody Talkin' 'Bout Heaven Ain't Goin' There," and "I'm Goin' To Lay Down My Sword an Shield," not to mention Sunday's own hymn, "Brighten the Corner," and "Just As I Am" filled the tabernacle with music such as those few whites had never before heard. SONG SERVICE PROLONGED Imagine a hundred plantation revivals consolidated under one roof with Choral efforts combined and you have some idea of the song service which preceded Sunday's sermon. All during the sermon there were crises of "Amen," "Yes, Lord" "Lord, help him to preach and once or twice Sunday's voice was drowned out by the shrieks of some member of the audience who "got religion" in true, old-fashioned, Southern Negro style the entire assembly. Onte or twice the ushers fearing the shoutin' would interfere with the evan gelists sermon, attempted to quiet the most demonstrative. "Just let them alone," said Sunday. "I am glad to see so much enthusiasm. We need a little more of that 'shoutin' religion among the white people. I've been trying to thaw them out for the past eight weeks." At the suggestion of one of the Negro preachers, a collection was taken before the meeting ended and the $500 derived from this collection was given Mr. Sunday as a thank offering from the Negro residents. Somebody made the request that Sunday remain in Portsmouth a week to talk to colored people only, but to this the evangelist would give no reply. C. P. HAYES SUPPONDER TO A.
