A LA CARTE SERVICE TABLES. RESERVED Under Management of J. C. Robinson and Frederick D. Cephas BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone Va., March 31. On last Friday night at their Castle Hall the two Pythian Lodges had a joint initiation, adding several new members to each lodge and reinstating some. A majority of the members of both lodges were present and all had a grand time. Between the second and 3rd degree. After the initiat were served by a Committee after which the officers proceeded with the third degree. After the initiation was over many helpful remarks were made to the young men by District Deputy J. L. Royal concerning their future and what is expected of them. Probably one of the largest gath crings ever assembled here on such an occasion was out Sunday to the Anniversary exercises of the Pythian Lodges and the Court of Calanthe which took place in Jackson's Hall at 1 o'clock. Sir Knight W. H. Fitzgardal was Master of Ceremonies and filled this position in a most pleasant and capable manner. The Rev. S. W. Grice of Petersburg who is Warden of Bishop Payne's Divinity School at that place and Rector of Epiphany Church at this place, delivered the Anniversary sermon, and it has been said that it was the best ever heard. Rev. Grice took for his text the following: And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.—Hebrew 10-24. Although he stated that he had not been initiated into and knew nothing about the mysteries of the Order, one would have thought him an "Old Boy" in the Order had he not thus stated to the contrary. He first spoke to the Pythianis and dwelt along the degrees of Page Esquire and Knighthood. While speaking to the Knights he took the three words which bind them together: Friendship, Charity and Benevolence, changing charity to its more modern meaning, "love" and agave a short discourse on each word, seasoning each with his text. He then spoketo the Court of Calanthe, discourseing on the three words, Fidelity, Harmony and Love in the same manner. Rev. Grice placed considerable stress on the words "consider one another" ushn as an illustration the conditions which existed in the world during the recent war, and the unsettled state of things today, which would not have existed had the warring patrons and the people today consid-cred one another. The program committee arranged a splendid program. Much comment has especially been heard on the singing and music which was under the supervision of Miss Rosa B. Ross, pianist for the occasion. The arrangement committee had decorated the hall with the colors of the Courts and Pythians. The altar was decorated to represent the badge worn by the Knights. There has been heard but one objection resulting from the occasion and that there was not sufficient room in the hall to hold the enormous throng that had gathered to pasticate i in the Thanksgiving Service. Mr. Stephen C. Pettus died at home of his sister, Mrs. J. F. Bowman here on Monday night at 11:55 after a lingering illness, of several months. Mr. Pettus had been in failing health for some time but had veen forced to come home only about two months ago. While sick he was ever cheerful and took advantage of the warm days to walk out for fresh air and exercise. He made several trips down town where he always met with many hearty hand-shakes and the smiles on the two faces met showing a pleasant greeting and a glad expression at his being able to be walking around. He always had plenty of company and an abundance of fruits and "good things" thus attesting the esteem in which he was held by a wide circle of friends. Mr. Pettus took his illness patiently and gayly and cheerful to the end when he quietly passed away. On next Sunday at Shiloh Baptist Church the Rev. Johnson ex-chaplain of the United States Army, will deliver a sermon to the St. Lukes at 12 o'clock. All are requested to come out to hear him. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Snead, of Philadelphia, reached here today to attend the burial of Mrs. Snead's brother, Mr. S. C. Pettus. They brought with them Little Leon and Wm. A. Jr. Mr. Samuel Moore, of Washington, D.

ADMISSION FREE A LA CARTE SERVICE TABLES RESERVED Under Management of J. C. Robinson and Frederick D. Cephas Blackstone Va., March 31. On last Friday night at their Castle Hall the two Pythian Lodges had a joint initiation, adding several new members to each lodge and reinstating some. A majority of the members of both lodges were present and all had a grand time. Between the sec ond and 3rd degree. After the initiat were served by a Committee after which the officers proceeded with the third degree. After the initiation was over many helpful remarks were made to the young men by District Deputy J. L. Royal concerning their future and what is expected of them. Probably one of the largest gath crings ever assembled here on such an occasion was out Sunday to the Anniversary exercises of the Pythian Lodges and the Court of Calanthe which took place in Jackson's Hall at 1 o'clock. Sir Knight W. H. Fitzgold was Master of Certificates and filled this position in a most bountiful and capable manner. The Roy, S. W. Grice of Petersonburg who is Warden of Bishop Payne's Divinity School at that place and Rector of Epiphany Church at this place, delivered the Anniversary sermon, and it has been said that it was the best ever heard. Rev. Grice took for his text the following: And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.—Hebrew 10:24. Although he stated that he had not been initiated into and knew poaching about the mysteries of the Order, one would have thought, him an "Old Boy" in the Order had he not thus stated to the contrary, first spoke to the Pythianus and dwelt along the degrees of Papé Equire and Knighthood. While speaking to the Knights he took the three words which bind them together: Friendship, Charity and Benefice, changing charity to its more modern meaning, "love" and gave a short discourse on each word, seasoning each with his text. He then spoke to the Court of Cilanthe, discourse on the three words, Fidelity, Harmony and Love in the same manner. Rev. Grice placed considerable stress on the words "consider one another" usus as an illustration the conditions which existed in the world during the recent war, and the unsettled state of things today, which would not have existed had the warring nations and the people today consid- cred one another. The program committee arranged a splendid program. Much comment has especially been heard on the singing and music which was under the supervision of Miss Rosa B. Ross, pianist for the occasion. The arrangement committee had decorated the hall with the colors of the Courts and Pythians. The altar was decorated to represent the badge worn by the Knights. There has been heard but one objection resulting from the occasion and that there was not sufficient room in the hall to hold the enormous throne that had gathered to pasticate it under the Thanksgiving Service. Mr. Stephen C. Pettus died at home of his sister, Mrs. J. P. Howman here on Monday night at 11:55 after a lingering illness, of several months. Mr. Pettus had been in failing health for some time but had been forced to come home only about two months ago. While sick he was ever cheerful and took advantage of the warm days to walk out for fresh air and exercise. He made several trips down town where he always met with many hearty hand-shakes and the smiles on the two faces met showing a pleasant greeting and a glad expression at his being able to be walking around. He always had plenty of company and an abundance of fruits and "good things" thus attesting the esteem in which he was held by a wide circle of friends. Mr. Pettus took his illness patiently and gaily and cheerful to the end when he quietly passed away. On next Sunday at Shiloh Baptist Church the Rev. Johnson ex-chaplaim of the United States Army, will deliver a sermon to the St. Lukes at 12 o'clock. All are requested to come out to hear him. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Snead, of Philadelphia, reached here today to attend the burial of Mrs. Snead's brother, Mr. S. C. Pettus. They brought with them Little Leon and Wm. A. Jr. Mr. Samuel Moore, of Washington, D. C., who has been visiting his moth er near Kenbridge spent last Friday night with his cousin, Mrs. Lewis Fitzgerald leaving for his home on the early train. Saturday morning. Mrs. Martha Williams, who resides about four miles from this place has been confined to her bed with an attack of influenza.

FERGUSON. Dear Sir,—We wish to congratulate you upon the munty and very apriate reply to a communication from a Dr. Ferguson of Richmond. We wonder where was the renowned tooth extractor twenty years ago when John Mitchel, Jr., was laying the foundation for that Richmond prosperity which has brought so many sheckles Fergusonward! A history of the Richmond Negroes would show Editor Mitchell to be better informed along social, economic and political lines than any group of self-styled leaders Richmond can muster. We are not on Richmond grounds just now, and cannot speak for popu er opinion there; but reasoning from the standpoint that right, justice and true worth must come uppermost we are forced to the conclusion that den tist Ferguson has misjudged his patient. He will find the teeth of the Virginia fraternal societies deeper sat than he calculates. Many a midget has been ground to powder while tampering with those molars, and the renowned doctor may learn by their experience. The followers of John Mitchell Jr. are MEN and WOMEN who are too many and to womanly to desert in a crisis. Sir, they are too wise a group of spiders to be coaxed into the Ferguson net. The Negroes of the Nation, and Virginia in particular trust and honor John Mitchell, Jr., for his one hundred per cent qualities necessary for and great leader. We won der if the Negroes of Richmond realise the true status of affairs. H is Editor Mitchell and Mitchell alone that enables the colored people of Richmond to hold court among like communities of the Nation. In conclusion, we'll say, General, we are amply able to hold the fort and don't forget that we have never learned to beat a retreat. COLORED FOLKS IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR. The Legislature of Virginia has decided through the Virginia War History Commission to publish a complete history of the achievements of Virginia troops upon the battlefields of Europe.

Chicago, March 28.—A score of persons were killed and a hundred or more injured by a tornado that swept the country, and a number of towns north and west of Chicago, and ravaged some of the city's northwestern suburbs. The property damage ran into millions of dollars, including demolition of many buildings and the razing of telegraph and telephone lines. Communication with rural regions was for a time cut off. FIGHT DEAD AT ELGIN, ILL Six persons were killed and a score injured when the tornado swept through the center of Elgin, IL, about 30 miles west of Chicago, causing $4,000,000 damage to property. From Elgin the storm passed on to the northeast. Half a dozen business buildings, two churches and 20 residences were demolished in Elgin. Meager reports brought in by farmers indicated local damage in a widespread rural region. Falling telephone and telephone poles cut off communication and many trees uprooted by the twisting wind so tangled the wires that restoration of communication presented a difficult problem. Mrs. Hansen and her four children were in the parlor of their home when the building was blown over by the wind. The children were uninjured. Jameson was buried in the debris of his cottage. The Chicago State Hospital at Daniag was not damaged but several smaller buildings on the hospital's farm were destroyed. The injured were taken to the hospital, which also was converted into a barrack for the nonless. At Plainfield, a small town west of Chicago, two persons were injured probably fatally when their home was blown down. Twelve other persons were less seriously hurt, and dam age estimated at $25,000 done in the town. One of the injured was Mrs. John Denver, of Joliet, whose auto mobile was turned upside down by the wind. More than a score of barns in the neighborhood of Plainfield were demolished. Among nearby towns damaged by the storm, according to reports, were Wanconda, Mellery, Woodstock, Algonquin and Marengo. Dundee was reported to have been passed over by the storm, but damage in the surrounding farming country was heavy. DAMAGE AT ELGIN $4,000,000. The Elgin Company of the State militia was placed on duty to guard property laid open to the public by the unroofing and upsetting of stores, Melrose Park, a suburb of Chicago reported six dead and Dunning an other suburb and Wilmgate, a north shore town each reported two dead. At Melrose Park on the western edge of Chicago 60 houses were de sroyed. the devastated area covering four blocks. The Tornado followed in the wake of a severe halstorm. Tonight six dead had been identified at Melrose Park and it was predicted the fatality list would reach twelve. Scores were injured. Fires followed the collapse of buildings and the fire departments of seven suburbs were summoned. A score of houses in Evanston a northern suburb were demolished and a number of persons injured, but no fatalities were reported. Roofs were carried from houses and trees were uprooted and carried a half block in some instances. The damage in Wilmette, another north shore suburb, was estimated at $500,600. Many buildings in the business quarter were damaged along with the town hall and the Episcopal Church. The storm tore a path 200 yards wide through the main part of Wilmette. TWO KILLED AT DUNNING Mrs. H. Hansen and Edward Jameson were killed, several hundred injured and 1,000 made homeless at Dunning, a northwest suburb. More than 150 houses mostly frame structures, were destroyed there. Elgin, Ill., March 28.—At least 3 persons were killed and property damage estimated as high as $4,000,000 caused by a tornado that struck this city shortly after noon today. A large part of the business quarter and a portion of the residential section was in ruins tonight, and it was feared more bodies were under the wreckage. Military law was declared at 5 P. M. and the streets cleared by troops to prevent looting. Elgin was in darkness tonight. More than 100 persons were injured to this city. Light wires and trolley wires were down. Street car service was suspended. Trains were blocked by uprooted trees, and for a time only one telegraph and telephone wire connected the city with the outside.

Mr. and Mrs. Beverley were in the Grand Theater preparing for their afternoon show when the theatre fell. The G. W. Peck department store a three-story brick structure and several other of the principal business structures were completely de stroved. FIRE BREAKS OUT IN THREE PLACES. Fire broke out in three phases, following the tornado. The storm struck Elgin from the Southwest during a terminal downpour of rain, and swept northeast across the heart of the city, leaving a trail of destruction 200 yards wide. Communication with surrounding towns was interrupted, but reports bought in indicated heavy damage and probable loss of life in nearby rural districts. Sherman and St. Joseph Hospital's here were filled with injured tonight, while scores who were bruised and out received treatment at doctors' offices and then went to the homes of friends. Eight blocks of the business district and five blocks of the residence section were in the path of the tornado, which left behind a trail of wrecked and damaged buildings. S out brick business blocks were demolished, roots were blown off and in the residence section houses were lifted from their foundations and flung against their neighbors. Him creeds of trees, torn out by their roots, blocked the streets and railroad tracks. WINDOW DISPLAY BLOWN OUT The window display of a jewelry store was blown into the street and carried away by loofers before the military guard had been established. Girls were reported to have looted The window of a millinery store, carrying away the display of spring hats. Under the mayor's proclamation calling for military law, all persons were barred from the damaged district unless provided with passes. Stories of the strange pranks of the storm were many. The families of Louis and Charles Henning were seated at dinner when the tornado lifted the house from over their heads without injuring any member of the party. Ten houses in a space of three blocks in that neighborhood were totally destroyed. Hardly a business block downtown escaped damage. The Kelly and The Posegate hotels lost most of their wins. Part of the roof of the city hall was carried away and many of the windows were broken. Six box cars standing at the Chicago and Northwestern station were hurled down the embankment to the edge of the Fox River. William McClure city assessor, estimated tonight after a survey of the wrecked district, that it will cost $4,000,000 to restore the buildings destroyed and damaged. Few of the sufferers carried tornado insurance. Elgin was visited by a destructive windstorm seven years ago next July but the damage at that time was not heavy. Macon, Ga., March 28. The town of West Point, Ga., was destroyed by a tornado late this afternoon, according to reports received in local railroad offices tonight. The town was seriously damaged by flood less than six months ago. Reports here say that there has been a heavy loss of life at West Point. The reports said the tornado cut a swath between Opelika and Waverly, Ala., through West Point, Ga. A storm of clydonic intensity struck Macon at 6:55 tonight, causing heavy damage throughout the city. Several persons are known to have been injured. Many windows were broken by hail stones and several buildings were unproofed or destroyed. FOUR OR FIVE DEATHS: Montgomery, Ala., March 28—With wire service from this city to West Point, Ga., disrupted by storm, mes sages received here this evening over railway telegraph lines were to the effect that the northeastern part of the town had been destroyed by a cyclone, with four or five deaths. Since 5 o'clock no information what ever has been received here. The 14 year old daughter of W. F. Carpenter a prosperous farmer of Deatsville, 18 miles north of Montgomery, was probably fatally injured this afternoon when a tornado struck the dwelling house, wrecking it and causing injuries to the seven other members of the family.

Martin, former captain in the United States army and Chief of the Military Intelligence Service in North Russia, told of the danger from radican propaganda among the Negroes in this country. He said, recently, "Bol clevik propaganda is endeavoring to find a field among the Negro population of the United States as well as among foreign workmen in this coun- try. The sole permanent solution lies in a proper understanding between the two races. Point out to a Negro that, although radicalism offers him temporary respite in the end, as we have so clearly seen in Russia the burden of inevitable disaster will fall mainly upon his shoulders." Chicago, March.—In a specially prepared statement for the Association Negro Press, Prof. Robert T. Kerlin of the Department of English in the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., makes a very pertinent comment, with reference to the high appreciation of the poets in our group. "I have never assumed the role of adviser or preacher to the cored people of America," says Prof. Kerlin, "but I am impelled to make an exception for once—in a worthy cause. Are you as a race supporting your poets? You are getting together or manfully in business, in politics, in labor, in education, in charitable and religious works. Racial consciousness is strongly assorting itself throughout the whole domain of your life with 'this one exception. You do not like many other races—value your poets at their worth. You are willing to let them furnish' you the very bread of life while you permit them to suffer for the mere bread of existence. Is this right? Is it wise? "Your poets are your prophets. To day they have a flaming message. They are embodying your ideals, your aspirations, your sufferings, your prayers, your protests, in song. The lyrical cry is theirs—your cry. Theirs the articulation of it. Now no cause is greatly effective until the poets champion it. The poets have winged words, they pierce the hearts and consciences of men. They burn their way into our innest thoughts. Poets are more to be dreaded by the forces of evil and injustice and oppression than politicians, yea, even than preachers; for the true poet is, I repeat a prophet, a messenger of God. "You have a dozen very able young song-makers whose poems your news papers get. I understand, without cost. "How are ye better than the gentiles if ye thus rob your poets? Support them, I say. They are a supreme honor to you as a people. And not only that; they are your ablest spokes monk your heaven—sent servants. Give them for their service at least the means of subsistence. Buy their heavenly ware with your miserable filthy lucra." Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere INSURANCE IS HANDLED WITH DESPATCH. Announcement is made by Director R. G. Cholemley-Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance that the insurance division of the bureau is virtually at the end of its period of congestion and consequent dissatisfaction and vexations delays, resulting frothe great volume of work suddenly thrown upon it by the demobilization of the armed forces during the past year. Former service men whose insurance has lapsed or has been canceled are encouraged to take advantage of the very liberal provisions for rein statement of War Risk insurance by the payment of two monthly premiums with the application and a satis factory statement of health. They are assured that from now on, receipts for premiums will be sent to them within a few days from the date of the original receipt of the remittance. Instead of the form paragraphs and unsatisfactory form letters which formerly t was necessary to use to answer the flood of mail, they will be replied to with real letters in insurance cases which require detailed and specific answers. The number of unposted premiums in the bureau, which last October was approximately 80,000 has just been reduced to an average of 10,000 or less than one day's work. Unanswered mail in the insurance division shows a reduction of approximately 60 per cent from the daily balance of five months ago. Probably it will be two or three weeks before it will be possible to answer all the letters as quickly as it is now possible to mail out receipts for premiums but it is a matter of only a few weeks before the answering of all ordinary inquiries in reference to insurance matters within four days of their receipt in the bureau will be the regular practice. While some difficulties due to failure of service men to furnish serial numbers and other necessary information always will be inevitable, very serious handicaps in the addressing of the men have just been overcome. Through a special appropriation made by Congress, the bureau has been enabled to put its entire list of former service men on addressplates. This prevents errors that previously occurred through repeated copying from the millions of records with typewriters. Former service men desiring to reinstate War Risk Insurance which has lapsed or been canceled or to convert their insurance in cases where it is now in force, should apply to any post of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, or other organizations of former service men, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps recruiting stations, State Insurance Commissioners any home service section of the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, Y.

Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., addressed a mass meeting of colored people at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, recently on racial problems in which he made a plea for better understanding of the races in their constant relations, lack of which he attributed to the bad spirit which exists between the white and colored people in all sections of the country. Pointing out the hindrances of the colord race, the speaker discussed the economic and intellectual prob- lemms of the colored people, commenting them for the spirit which impelled them to elevate themselves. He likewise referred to the Interchurch World Movement as a medium then which there would be a better under standing among the races. The Day-Bond Nupfials. Washington, D. C., March.—Mr. and Mrs. J.

APRIL 3, 1920 The Congress of the United States is puzzled as to how it can get peace in law as it has secured peace in fact. ```markdown ``` the political campaign now being waged for mayor of this city is being conducted on the highest order. Neither candidate is striking "below the belt." If people would only do right and lay fair there would not be any trouble, but they will not do either of these things. --- The increase of the pay of the members of the labor unions is having the result of causing public servants and employees to demand similar favors. The City Hall office holders in Chicago are now on a strike for more money. --- Hon. Herbert Hoover announces that he will accept the nomination as President at the hands of the Republican Party if it is tendered to him. This is superfluous information. Most people know that before he spoke the word. Many of us had noticed that "his mouth was watering." WHAT TO DO. We have received the following correspondence which explains itself: Dear Editor—As secretary of the Colored Citizens Republican Association, the only official organization of our people in the State, I am asking for information from you, knowing that your wide experience in political matters furnishes you with sufficient facts to ably weigh the pros and cons of this matter. We realize that straight party voting in municipal affairs by the Negro in the North has not brought about any recognition from the Republican party. Because of his loyalty to said party, he is con sidered to be a sure thing by that party, and is therefore not catered to at all, and has no hopes of receiving any recognition. So will you kindly give us your opinion of how we can best penalize the said party, municipal, making known your opinion through your columns? Respectfully yours, G. THOS. PIERSON We do not see that the situation in Providence, Rhode Island is any different from that in any other section of the country. We are of the opinion that the colored people in that great city have proceeded along the proper lines in the organization of a political Association. Having chosen the name, "The Colored Citizens Republican Association" we do not see how the Republican party could be penalized without the members of this Association laying themselves liable to the charge of "treason." It would be wisdom to drop the name Republican from the name of the organization and he known as The Colored Association of Providence and Vicinity, although the organization might continue to affiliate with the Republican organization. Mr. Pierson mornally asserts that straight party voting has not brought about any recognition from the Republican Party. The Party leaders there, like many Party leaders elsewhere, are ungrateful and the colored voter is not recognized before the election and he is not noticed after the election. What is the comedy? The first in self-respect. Support no candidate Democrat or Republican that will not accord recognition to the colored people. Act as a unit and secure the support of at least eighty per have found this, inclination not to recognize colored organizations due in a large measure to the fact that those organizations do not embrace in its membership a large enough proportion of the voting population of the colored people and to the fact that renegade colored men, jealous of its power and influence will use their persuasive power to get the Republic can leaders to pay no attention to the demands. We are of the opinion that in municipal affairs, the best men should be supported regardless of party affiliations. There are many parties now clamoring for recognition at the hands of the people. Organized labor is on the anxious seat and it is ready to recognize a Sioux Indian in order to increase its voting power at the polls. The socialists are equally as insistent upon making a good showing at the polls. These minority organizations will give the colored people equal rights and privileges in their organizations. In some sections, the Democratic managers are equally as liberal. It stands to reason then that self-representation colored men will not record their votes for Republican candidates who do not want them or for Democratic candidates that proverbially scorn such support. There is such a thing as nominating colored candidates and voting for them in order to maintain the organization in fact. We are of the opinion though that if the colored voters of Providence will solidly ally themselves with the Colored Citizens Republican Association, the Republican leaders will hear a call when it is made. It will then be loud enough to make them hear. As the matter now stands, they have been informed that only a small per centage of the colored people control this organization and that, the great mass of colored people have not awakened to the fact that this Association holds the rights and privileges of that race in its hands. We repeat that municipally speaking, it would be political sagacity to endorse and support those local candidates that endorse and support the colored people of Providence. Before taking this position, however, for God's sake change the name of the organization or else an Allied soldier might be found fighting in a German camp and the result might be disastrous to the troop era who wore the wrong uniform. M.R. ROOT'S ARGUMENT. It would be well for thoughtful colored citizens and conscientious white ones to watch with interest the trend of the discussion relative to the adoption and enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The argument used in its favor is practically the same as that urged by the attorneys for the colored people in an effort to forbid States from nullifying the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States and argument used against its constitutionality and enforcement is practically the same as that used by the attorney generals and general counsel of the Negro-hating elements in the southern States. They argued that the police powers rested with the States and that " Jim Crow" laws came within the purview and control of this power. But now Hon. Elihu Root, probably the ablest constitutional lawyer in the country is now appearing before the Supreme Court of the United States in the bail of the liquor interests, while his very able neighbor, Hon. Charles Evans Hughes is taking the other side of the contention. Ex-Senator Root charges that this amendment is ordinary legislation dignified with the designation of an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and as such has no proper place in that archae instrument known as the Constitution of the United States. This is peculiar, unusual, remarkable and dumfounding reasoning and argument. Is it a fact that ordinary legislation cannot be engrafted and placed in the Constitution of the United States as an Amendment and if so placed therein is it null and void? This is the knotty question that the Supreme Court of the United States will be called upon to answer. A similar argument was made relative to the electorate,—The right to vote, the exercise of which rests with the States. It has been claimed then that the several commonwealths, despite the plain provisions of the Constitution have the right to say who shall vote and who shall not vote, so long as the discrimination is not made upon the basis of race, color or religion. Now comes the right to drink whiskey and similar intoxicants. While the law says that whiskey is prohibited, just as the law says that the right to vote on account of race or color is not prohibited, the question arises as to whether or not a State has a right to say just who shall have and dispense whiskey that it is forbidden to dispense just as it has the right to say, who shall not vote in the face of the constitutional provision which forbids the dental THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA UZZIAH MINER'S LITERARY SERVICE YOUNG WRITERS, MINISTERS, LAWYERS, EDITORS, NEWS PAPER CORRESPONDENTS, AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS IN GENERAL, ATTENTION!!

Elihu Root then declares in his brief: Fourth—That it it was not constitutionally proposed; that the proposal is subject to judicial review; that Congress did not by two-thirds of both houses affirmatively vote for the proposal of the resolution, and that three-fourths of the States have not ratified the amendment in a constitutional sense. Fifth—The national prohibition act is not appropriate legislation. There is no right in Congress to legislate outside the words of the amendment and the words "beverage purposes" sufficiently describe the limit within which Congress shall legislate, and that the term "intoxicating liquors" is its own definition, and the Volstead law fixing the standard of alcohol in express terms is oppressive and unconstitutional. Can this distinguished jurist prove his case to the satisfaction of those learned judges? This is the question and should he prove it, can a majority of them be induced to brave public sentiment and render a decision in keeping with his transcendent argument? Sixth—The people of the United States have only national power, the police power having been reserved to the States. Seventh—A review of all prior amendments shows that they all relate to the structure and form of the Government and are not of a nature to deprive the States of reserved rights. Eighth—To permit the Eighteenth Amendment to stand, will be to fling open the door to all manner of oppressive legislation in years to come. Here then is the doctrine of States' Rights confronting the Supreme Court with the greatest advocate of centralized power and government taking the part of the States' Rights constituency. It was the southern States in 1861; but it is the north States in 1920. Who believes that the Supreme Court as at present constituted will support Mr. Root's contention? Wonders have taken place and miracles seen in the land, but are we to witness it either this year or the next one? We shall see. THE REACH WIDENING. There can be no doubt whatever but what the breach between the United States of America and Great Britain is widening to the infinite satisfaction of the Irish radicals, who have taken President Wilson at his word and are now demanding self-determination for the people of the Emerald Isle. The most significant happening during the present century is the open attack made by Premier Lloyd George of England and Sir Edward Carson of Ulster up on the United States. The report is as follows: (London, March 31, 1920.) The British coalition government scored its expected victory in the House of Commons today when the new Irish home rule bill was passed by a vote of 348 to 94. During the debate Lloyd George and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader, handled the United States without gloves, the Premier declaring that action such as that taken by the U. S. Senate had fostered secession in the Green Isle. And again: The Premier taunted Irishmen with making "an artificial attempt to revive the old Irish language, and the authorities put up names on the street corners in Irish towns to the confusion of every honest man." His supporters roared with laughter, but the Nationalists fiercely resented the sally and charged the Premier with jeering at Irish nationality. De Valera is putting forth the same views in the same words that Jefferson Davis used," the Premier declared, and added that such move had led to civil war. "We are doing nothing more than the United States claimed for themselves," he continued, "and will stand no less." Lloyd George reiterated his decla ration that the government plan held the field because it recognized the fact that the House, would not satisfy Irish opinion in its present state without destroying the essential und He continues; And still again: ity, Author of "The Americanism er of Ripe Experience,—will Crit- Your Business Letters—Essays— Addresses—Speeches—Sermons and azines.

The demand in ireland for the moment was for in dependence and secession not soft government. The acceptance of that demand, de- clared the Premier would never come. It was a demand which, if per- sisted in he said, would lead to ex- actly the same measures of repres- sion used in the case of the Southern States of America. He took a position with his back virtually against the wall, when he quoted as follows: The Premier insisted there was no use of talking about self-determination, since those who supported it must go to the full length of granting an Irish republic "self-determination" continued the Premier, "does not mean that every part of the country which has been acting together for a hundred years, should have the right—to say: "We mean to set up a private republic. There must be a limit to the application of any principle; otherwise it might be carried to every locality in every country throughout the world." There were certain powers which might be conferred upon Ireland when she sattled down, to an establishment union and accepted partnership with the United Kingdom, said the Premier but if they were given at the present they would only be wasted, to the harm of the union and of herself. It would be placing dangerous weapons in the hands of an infuriated people, he declared. The Premier added that he believed the bill would result in bringing about the union of the North and South, union with Protestants and Catholics union with Great Britain and Ireland. The Navy Department, through Admiral Benson, as testified by Rear Admiral Sims has already attacked Great Britain. President Wilson has attacked France and his last note has been deeply resented by the French people, and now the leading British statesman in all of this world openly accuses the United States with fomenting secession in Ireland, a session that the mother country will "fight to the death." What chance is there now for a League of some Nations with these "Kilkenny cats" in the arena to make war instead of to promote peace? Germany did not hold out long enough else the coalition would have gone to pieces. Even now, the signs of the dissolution are to be seen and thus will end a day dream, a theoretical idea, a hope for a condition of affairs that cannot come until the millenium, spoken of in the Script ures has dawned upon us. Until that time, in the language of the Master there shall be "wars and rumors of wars."
