Representative Humphreys, Democrat of Mississippi, Attempts to Smoke Out the President. (By Winder R. Harris) Washington, March 25.—Democrats in the House vied with the Republicans today in voiceriously applauding a speech by Representative Humphreys (Democrat,) of Mississippi, attacking the third term boom for President Wilson. Contrary to all precedents, the speech met with no retort, and the approval of the speech developed in to a demonstration against a third term when scores of Democrats flocked to the cloakroom to congratulate the speaker. Mr. Humphrey's time expired as he was delivering the speech and was extended on motion of Representative Longworth (Republican) of Ohio, just as a messenger from the White House was announced by the doorkeeper. When Speaker Gillett asked Mr. Humphreys to suspend his speech while the House received a message from the President, members on both sides laughed heartily. "When the time comes that the cit citizenship of this republic has so de- generated that we are limited in our choice of a chief executive to only one man," said Mr. Humphreys, "then the day for our judgment is at hand." He had just quoted from the words of Thomas Jefferson who said in declin- ing to listen to importunities that he become a candidate for a third term, "There are in our country a great number of characters entirely equal to the management of its affairs." This thought the speaker continued was exactly expressed in different words by Cassius when he exclaimed: "When could they say till now, who talked of Rome, That her wide walls encompassed but one man!" Representative Kitchin, of North Carolina, majority leader during the Democratic control of Congress, was one of the first to commend the stand taken by the Mississippi Congressman. "It was President Wilson himself" said Mr. Kitchin, who prevented the passage of a resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution inserting in it the plank in the Democrat ie platform of 1912 which declared for a single presidential term. "I agree thoroughly with everything Mr. Humphreys said, so far as it involves the third-term issue. I was in favor of the plank inserted in the Democratic platform of 1912 declaring for a single presidential term and I was for the resolution the House Judiciary Committee in the Sixty-second Congress contemplated reporting out to amend the Constitution to conform with the platform declaration. --- WOOD IS "LOGICAL" CANDIDATE FOR COLORED AMERICANS. (By Edgar C. Brown.) (By Edgar C. Brown.) Indianapolis, Ind., March 23—Among the rank and file of the people the question is being asked: "How can we support anyone but Leonard Wood? He is right on the Race question—as was said in the motion made before the colored voters of Indiana assembled in Indianapolis by Attorney Tidrington, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and seconded by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Roht, L. Brokenburr, "We, the colored voters of Indiana are for General Wood first, last and all the time primarily because he has the courage to champion the rights of truly 100 per cent American citizens, the Ameri can Negroes." Mr. Tidrington headed the delegation from Indiana to the Lincoln League and was one of those present who had had a chance to compare Governor Lowden and General Wood. It is significant that Mr. Tidrington pointed out that what we need today is a military man to stamp out mob violence and lynching and a man whose words are respected like Theodore Roosevelt and the good General's own words at Gary and Omaha when he said, "The rights of all must be protected." And now following the rejection of Governor Lowden by the colored Republicans of Missouri assembled in St. Louis because of the attitude toward the East St. Louis riot and his misleading statements at the Chicago riot, the colored Republicans in Ohio have taken up arms against Senator Harding under the fearless leadership of Honorable Ralph Tyler, because he refused to recognize 150,000 colored voters by refusing them a delegate to the Chicago Convention and Senator Harding returned last week from Texas where he went on the invitation of the "Lilly Whites,"5 General Wood true to his record left a place for a colored delegate. Here is General Wood's statement, "I know no American b ythis color." "A vote for Wood means a vote for the race," was adopted for the Indiana slogan at the primaries THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

It is Generally Known That Liberia is the Only Negro Republic Now Existing. For years Great Britain, Germany and France have contended for its trade. Every important Negro Firm has been crushed; these foreigners have the country by the throat. For years these Government agents have kept great stores in the capital and other centers of the country. It was after the burning of an English woman's trading station that a warship steamed in the harbor and demanded thousands of dollars or so many miles of land, and unable to defend itself or pay so, miles of Liberia's territory went. Then France in the rear, and again on the west, hence the elrpublic has been so trimmed its founders would not know it. It is generally believed only for the war long ago, Germany would have owned it by force. During the war, when Germany had powerful wireless stations in Liberia and it was not known whether she would side with the Allies or Germany, a French writer urged—"Annex Liberia and be done with Negro rule in Africa." All of these nations want Liberia as a Colony. As mean as "Uncle Sam" is called, only for him, there would be no Liberia. Whatever he has done it was not for land grabbing. There is no free schoolsystem in the country. What was to be "Tuskegee" was launched seven years ago on $65,000 left in the will of a good white woman in Maryland, but that money is all gone and nothing to show for it. The main chance now for educating the children of Liberia is in the Mission or Church schools. These in several cases are provided and monied by white people.

It is easy to find young men and wo men who have spent from one to eight years in one of these Missions, knowing the letter but have no initiative; their faces are as blank as blank can be. Every ounce of manhood and womanhood is stamped out of them, so they mope about listlessly or Helfess. OUR OWN STATIONS The Suehh Mission is situated on 325 acres of land in Montserrade County, 50 miles from Monrovia. It was organized by Miss E. B. DeLaney in 1913. There are six finished buildings and one unfinished building on the station. Three of these are iron covered with zine. One is a church made of mud. These mud houses with thatch roofs will last two or three years. We must build at least one good building during the coming 18 months. The enrollment premises to exceed 100 for the coming year, beginning March the 4th, Two workers have been engaged to assist Miss D. E. Harris and Rev. D. S. Nichols. On Sunday, the 1st we organized an out station to this Mission where we baptized 10 natives. It was here we saw a church, built by the natives while we waited, all within 5 hours and we held services, broke ground for a permanent building and passed on. The Bible Industrial Mission is situated on 300 acres of land. This was established by Misses Susie M. Taylornee-Watts. She is still great to love by the people who wish her return. Though she is married, with her husband she could do a world of good out here, because the people love her. Rev. D. R. Horten and his good wife have wrought well here. They have about 30 children to be looked after. Though it is vacation Brother Horten has gotten together six heads of cattle and eight or ten goats and could raise meat to feed our whole school if he had fencing. Dr. A. J. Stoker promised to give this but the war broke us up. Now we must have it though it is four times as costly. The fencing needed on both stations will cost about $1,000. A printing plant in which we have a well built house, about 20 by 30. We one-half interest has been located in have one good building for dormitories, chapel, class room, kitchen and a dining room, and a boys building two stories only half finished. All lumber for building here is sawed by hand and brought up on the heads of the natives, which makes it slow work. With the labor of the boys of the Mission and some hired help, Brother Horten has potatoes and easa planted and ground cleaned up for planting rice to feed the children. Almost, all the fruits of the country and some sugar cane is also growing. There is no better country in all the world than this for a great self sup porting Mission. The people give their children to the Mission for terms of years, so, they are like your family. You feed, cloth, house and school them. You may work them and where the Missionary knows how, he can make the children to a large extent, care for themselves, from the produce grown on the Mission grounds. We have the land and now for more consecrated farsighted workers. OUR WORKERS. All our workers at this writing are well, though all have had a little fever. At Dr. A. C. Williams church in Birmingham, Ala., a good woman, who sang in the choir with another from the audience, in answer to our appeal for workers came forward. One was the wife of a printer. If that great church could get behind them we could use them to the good of Africa and the glory of God out here. We must, first, have six workers more for Liberia.

Second: we must have at once enough wire fencing to enclose 190 acres on which to raise cows and goats for our Mission. Third: we must have a good corn and cane mill, so our workers may make meal and molasses for these large families of ours, from the many tribes of West Africa. Tribes who wonder as sheep having no sheep herd; sheep who know not our good Shepherd; sheep, the great Shepherd wants us to bring into His fold. There are no half-dozen Missions in all this land doing the evangelistic educational and constructive work for the African as our two. This is admitted on all hands. But we are many and able and to do less would dishonor God and our Baptist Zion. Oh, for one of our strong evangelists with Brother Britt, Smiley or Lewis to conduct several meetings in Liberia. The field is ripe and ready for a great harvest. TOOK PART IN ALL ... I have help cut brush, burn, farm and plant crops. Baptized fifteen among whom was a landing Pedo Baptist preacher, ordained one preacher, organized one Mission, and laid plans for another, buried a heathen child named for Mrs. Caddie of Ky., witnessed for my Lord by speech, sang, sermon and laid out the biggest program ever, for the work of my mission. A HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILE TRIP. On January 27th, we took leave of Suenh (Suey) Mission fod Bassa. The way we went, we had to walk more than 160 miles. At times we made 5 miles per hour. Wednesday, February 4th, after a 20 miles ride in a canoe we sat out on a 22 miles walk at 4:10 P. M. This found us in the forest after dark. Twice we fell from feet logs but hurt only once. At seven o'clock it was so dark, the path so narrow and crooked, only that my Father seemed to put-lamps on my feet I could not have made it. By and by the queen of the night, like a sister of mercy tried to help us with her silver rays but the African darkness withstood her. We stumbled on in the darkness, tried but now and again watched the battle between the queen of night and the jungle until we entered the tall grass from the dark land unfriendly forest, whom our friendly sister had climbed so high her rays pierced the blackness and help guide our weary feet on to our resting place at 8:30 o'clock. FINISHED My task here is about finished; so I hope to sail for Sierra Leon in a few days, and for home as soon thereafter as possible. Last week in order to finish up, I walked more than 160 and went 148 miles by boat and canoe. It made my bones ache, but by His help I made it. Miss E. B. DeLaney, Prof. Clark and two children will return with me. Miss DeLaney and Prof. Clark will be used by the Inter-Church Movement as well as our own Comittee, in their drives. We ask our Baptist Zion "don't stop praying" the darkness of Africa is indescribable, but the Gospel will scatter it, if we do but our part. I hope (D. V.) to get home early in April, and during the year, see many of you face to face and tell you about the work here. Yours in His service, L. G. JORDAN. Howard Gets $250,000 for Medical Education.

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. C., who has been visiting his moth or near Kenbridge spent last Friday night with his cousin, Mrs. Lewis Fitzgerald, leaving for his home on the early train, Saturday morning.

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.

(Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., March—Hugh S. 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.

C., in all cases furnishing the following six points of information for the identification of their cases in the records. 1. Full name (including first, middle and last name and complete address. 2. Rank, rating or grade at the time of original application for insurance. 3. Army or navy organization at time of original application for insurance. 4.

LEAGUE ASKS SENATE FOR RACE TREATY RESERVATION. Along With Reservations for India, Corea, Egypt and Ireland, League Asks One for Colored Americans. Boston, Mass., March 20.—Consistently and steadily pursuing the Quest of Colored America for share in the world democracy, as a last effort on the Senate until after the Fai election when reservations were offered for India, Corea, Egypt and Ireland, the National Equal Rights League through its secretary, Monroe Trotter, has sent to Senator David I. Walsh, a treaty reservation which would assure to all the inhabitants of the allied and associated powers complete protection of life and liberty without distinction of nationality, race, color or religion. The reservation reads as follows: "And the United States of America further understands that in order to make the reign of peace universal and lasting and to make the fruits of the war effective in the establishment of true democracy everywhere the allied and associated powers under take, each in its own country, to as sure full and complete protection of life and liberty to all their inhabitants, without distinction of nationality, race, color or religion and agree that all their citizens, respectively, shall enjoy the same civil and political rights without distinction as to race or religion and that all citizens who belong to racial or religious minorities differing in race, color or religion from the majority of the population shall enjoy the same treatment and security in law and in fact as all persons of the majority race, color or religion." Charles S. Morris, Jr. Makes Address to Young People of Richmond. (Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., March—Chas. S. 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.

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."

Let every reader notice that this ordinance is worse than the present one. This means that the Negroes will have to come in and go out of the cars by the rear, and the whites will have to come in and go out by the front, or vice versa. It means too that no Negro can pass through a part of a car in which white people are seated. Remember too that a part is to be set out and designated for the colored passengers. Nothing is said about what to do in case that part designated for Negroes happens to be full.

The Virginia Union University baseball aggregation opened its 1920 season by a whirlwind assault upon the orange and blue lads from Pennsylvania. The home team was in mid-season form and played like big leaguers. Thompson started for Lincoln but lasted less than one inning giving away when Union's heavy artillery broke forth and spared the youngster no quarter. Peters, who came to his relief fared slightly better but was unable to check the red and steel on shank until the second inning had passed. These two innings were featured with an avalanche of hits and runs. The home boys registered seven hits and as many scores in these two frames. After these two chapters had become history, Peters settled down and coupled with brilliant fielding by Wilson prohibited further scoring by the Richmonders. "Kid" McCaskill, the Kalsomine artist performed his task in a marvelous manner. At all times he was master of the situation and fed the visitors from his hands. He allowed only one fly ball to the outfield which was a Texas Leaguer over third base. Beautiful catcher by Wilson of long hard drives saved the day for Peters. His running catch of Jenkins long fly robbed the heavy hitting union of a triple. Tor Lincoln, Wilson was the whole show and his phenomenal fielding was the best seen on Hovey Field in many days. The entire home team played stellar ball yet the clean fielding and timely hitting of Adams, the midgut second sacker, stood out pre-eminently. The heavy hitting program launch ed by the Unionites for the 1920 seas on has proven effective from the start as every player used the willow to a decided advantage in the initial contest. Union has an array of pillsters this year that can be equalled by no staff of former years. Hampton meets Union on Hovey Field. Eastek Monday. April 5th. --- A LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY. Paris, Ky. March 30—Sweeping down unexpectedly upon officers who were taking Grant Smith, Negro to the jail at Paris last night, a crowd of forty men captured the Negro and hurried him in an automobile out Maysville-Lexinglong pike (to Pays Lick, Fleming County, where he was hanged to a telegraph pole. Smith, who was 40 years old, dts appeared two months ago after allied attacks on the 14 year old daughter of a farmer of Flomingsburg, Ky. He was arrested in Michigan last week and was being taken from the train last night to the Paris County jail when the forty unmasked man came from buildings and took the prisoner from Sheriff G. W. Powell and Chief of Police Luk. A quickly formed pose of county authorities unsuccessfully endeavored to overtake the mob in automobiles. When they arrived at Mays Lick the crowd had disappeared but the body of the Negro was found hanging by the neck at the end of a rope tied to the top of a telegraph pole. It was not mutilated, although threats were made at Paris to burn him. He was still handcuffed. According to reports reaching here the Negro lived fifteen minutes after he was swung up. 1920 LECTURING ON TUBERCULOSIS Messrs. E. M. Canaday, Jr., and J.

Their fame is already established in the East and so progressive and enterprising are the citizens of our group in this section that extend the entire country is certain to be familiar with their worth while achievements. A representative of the Associated Negro Press paid a brief and hurried visit to Tidewater this week and while time did not permit anything like a thorough inspection, there were so many things of interest to be seen that we are giving our readers a brief survey of them. Norfolk is the largest of these coastal cities, boasting a population of 100,000 of whom probably 65,000 are members of the race. It is an exceedingly busy city, its real importance as a port and commercial centre having been emphasized by the War, when its wonderful harbor became one of the principal embarkation and shipping points of the United States, while its shores were dotted with great manufacures, wholesale houses, naval bases and the like. The result was the growth of the population from 67,000 in 1911 to its present size. Norfolk has not slackened pace because of the close of the war, and labor which commanded high wages, then, continues to earn good pay with jobs awaiting everyone who comes prepared to work. Our group is a large factor in the labor situation and they have not failed to get their share in the great bulk of money in circulation. One of the concrete evidences of this fact is the unusual development of banking and similar institutions. The second strongest bank in the country. The Brown Savings Bank with a capital and surplus of $000,000 is located here, while setting a pace which bids fair to overall it is the Tidewater Trust and Savings Co., a new institution which has increased its resources $600,000 in the past six months. The Tidewater is housed in a beautiful new bank building with every mechanical equipment and convenience. It has a large force which was needed on the Saturday morning I visited the institution for there were two lines of depositors who filled the banking room. The officers of the Tidowater Bank and Trust Company are: P. R. Young President; G. H. Francis, Vice-President; Levi C. Brown, Vice-President; M. R. Jackson, Vice-President; J. S. Jones, Secetary-Treasurer; G. W. Brown, Asst., Secretary; J, Eugene Diggs, Counsel, Thos. H. Reid, Asst. Counsel. Just across the river at Portsmouth is another strong institution, the Mutual Savings Bank. A few blocks down Church Street the Attacks Theatre is being pushed to completion. The Twin City Movement, is behind this project and is building one of the largest colored剧院 in the country, seating 1400. This is an architectural gem and is being fitted out in luxurious fashion. This new enterprise is being pushed by Frank G. Russell, President, R. C Young, Secretary G. H. Francis; Vice-President. These progressive business achievements are but typical of the things Norfolk is doing. There are many other enterprises worthy of mention. The notable thing about these endeavors is that they are not the result of a single handed effort as is so frequently true of our racial enterprises. Our men of Norfolk have mastered the art of working together as a group. There are many substantial citizens with money and they come together with their resources and do things. Perhaps one of the most potent ways of developing the Tidewater spirit is that unseen force which seems to pervade everything and everybody. In this section is the Norfolk Journal and Guide a lively up-to-the-minute newspaper published by P. B. Young and H. C. Young. This publication has devoted itself ever since it was published by these men some six years ago to boosting Norfolk. Every constructive move has had their support. They have not been selfish, but far seeing, and alert to the high duty, which a newspaper owes to its community. The result has been that the Journal and Guide has been, if not the axis around which the progress has revolved, has at least been the lubricant which enabled it to run. This spirit has paid the Young Brothers in dollars and cents. Their up to date printing plant worth $45,000 a massive brick building which houses it together with the other property which they have accumulated speaks highly for their vision in sensing the true mission of a newspaper. One cannot write in a brief space of the many things to be seen in Norfolk but you cannot leave it without saying a word about its churches, said to be the finest, of any city of its kind in the country. The First Calvary Baptist church, the Second Calvary Baptist church are large new structures while Bank Street Baptist Church developed by Dr. Chas. S. Morris, father of Chas. S. Morris, Jr. the well-known boy orator, is a worthy place for a king to worship with its modern arrangements and art wintows in which have been painted oil 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 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.

Professional men are not without their place in the city's life. The many doctors, lawyers and dentists are doing a thriving business. Portsmouth and Berkley the former just across the river, the latter a suburb showcally high development. Portsmouth having about 26,000 high class progressive race people, while Newport News an hour's ride on the Ferry is another war made city and practically the same Tidewater spirit prevails. The Tidewater spirit is a very real and tangible thing. It has taken advantage of the new Racial consciousness which our group has developed during the past few years and is building a sure foundation for commercial construction of which the Race may well be proud. DR. LEROY BUNDY RELEASED ON BAIL, AFTER LONG FIGHT. Judge Carter Issues Writ of Superseeds in East St. Louis Case. (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, March—Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, who was convicted of murder because of the East St. Louis riots, has been granted bail and will be released from the Illinois State Penitentiary. Writ of Superseeds was granted by Judge Orrin N. Carter of the Supreme Court who passed on the case at the request of Judge Duncan who had jurisdiction, but who asked Judge Carter to hear the case owing to the fact that the majority of the societies lived in Chicago. Judge Carter decided that there was serious and prejudicial error in the record of the crime for which Dr. Bundy was convicted and decided that he be granted bail to the sum of $25,000. The entire Supreme Court of the State of Illinois will hear the case in April and pass on it in June. No case before the public has ever interested the people more than that of Dr. Bundy who was convicted by cause of the St. Louis riots, of murder in the first degree and sentenced to the Penitentiary at Chester, Illinois, for the death of his natural Life. Dr. Bundy was convicted March, 1919 and has been in the Penitentiary for about a year. The great legal victory which results in Dr. Bundy's release is the result of the brilliant unceasing but waged by his counsel Houston & Calloway of Kansas City. These two able barristers have emerged successfully and have won a great legal but the for the Race. This case has had practically, the entire time of Mr. W. C. Houston since the trial of Dr. Bundy began. Mrs. Bundy and group of friends left for Chester to welcome Dr. Bundy when he emerges from prison. C. P. HAYES Successor to A.
