Automobile Ride in the County after Midnight--Compromising Situation for Young White Woman. VOLUME XXXVII. No. 37 WM. THE CONV MUR FIR Escaped L on Automobile Midnight-- for Yo The trial of William Turner, the colored man, who lived in Washington, D. C. and who narrowly escaped lynching on account of abaving shot and killed T. Morgan Moore, (white) a torpedo expert. The traje dy took place at one of the approaches to the Highway Bridge between Alexandria and Washington, D. C. on the night of May 23rd, 1920. Moore and Miss Pearl Clarke, a stenographer were out driving in an automobile. They stopped at one of the ap proaches to the bridge and Miss Clarke was admittedly in the arms of T. Morgan Moore enjoying his embraces. THAT SHEEFING SOUND It was explained that the two were engaged to be married. About twenty minutes after they stopped, they heard a shunting sound on the rear side of the car. It was Turner, who covered them with a police. He demanded that Moore give him a dollar. Moore refused to do this, although urged to do by Mr. Clarke. He insisted that he had no money. Miss Clarke got out of the car and Turner demanded that she give him what she had. She began pulling off her gloves to obtain her jewelry. The shooting started. After several shots Moore fell fatally wounded. Miss Clarke claimed that she ran down the road followed by Turner. The question as to what followed after the shooting was raised as to the admissibility of this line of evidence and Judge Waddill took the matter under adjudgment. SEVERAL INDICTMENTS Turner was under the following indictments: Murder, criminal assault and high-way robbery. It will be seen then that every effort will be made to bring about his execution. Turner's defense was brought about through the persistent efforts of Attorney W. F. Denny of this city, who interposed himself in the case, and through him the services of Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr., were so cured. (Continued on Second Page.) NOICE For the benefit of those who were and are interested in the William H. Turner case (the colored man accused of murder in the first degree and criminal assault and convicted of the former charge in the United States Court last Saturday) we wish to state that everything was done to help this man as best we knew; that there are several errors in the record and we want to take this case to the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and that whatever the outcome may be, we do not wish you to feel that your efforts have been in vain. In case of the worst, we shall feel that we did not allow this man to be punished without bending our every effort to let the public know that we were interested in Turner, as a friend, as a member of our face and as a human being. We trust that the verdict may be as favorable as we can expect. Again we thank you one and all and resign ourselves to the care of Him, who has taught us to say, "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." Your humble servant. WM. F. DENNY. Of counsel for William H. Turner.

It affords us a source of satisfaction that he was appreciated by his host of friends, though we find it difficult to submit with resignation to the loss we have sustained, yet we bow in humble submission to the will of the Divine Power, "who dooth all things well." He is lost to us, but not to God; lost from earth, but entered Heaven; lost from these labors, cares and trials, but entered into everlasting peace. Blessed be God who gives us this hope in our hour of deep bereavement and enables us to triumph through Him who hath redeemed us. THE BRAGG FAMILY. REV. ANAMAN TO LECTURE By kind permission of Rev.

San Diego, Cal., July 20. — Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist, crossed the international boundary line from Mexico near here today, and was arrested by a deputy United States marshal. He is under sentence in Chicago for violation of the Mann act. Johnson, who has been residing in Tijuana, Mexico several months rode in an automobile to the Mexican side of the boundary. He shook hands with several Mexican officers, walked to the American custom-house, presented his passports and stepped across. Deputy United States Marshall George Cooley and Dave Gerson, special agent of the Department of Justice, were waiting for the pugilist and placed him under arrest as he entered the United States. When arrested, Johnson grinned and said: "All right, but—say, it sure is good to get back in the United States again. I am returning voluntarily, for the Mexican government had issued no deportation order against me, as was reported some weeks ago, and I could have remained in Tijuana as long as I was willing to obey the laws of Lower California. But for a long time I have wanted to return and get my troubles settled." Moving-picture cameras clicked as Johnson, and the officers, with spectators crowding them, posed at the boundary monument. The big lighter seemed to be in a joyous mood, laughing and talking with those about him. Johnson was brought to San Diego and arrested on a Federal charge of being a fictive from justice. He walked examination, and Commission W. R. Andrews ordered with held Stephen bad. No effort to obtain it was made here, and officers are required to take the prisoner to Los Angeles immediately. They said before in probably would have a hearing tomorrow. Johnson said he hoped to reenter the right, even if he serves a prison term. DR.

San Diego, Cal., July 20. —Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist, crossed the international boundary line from Mexico near here today, and was arrested by a deputy United States marshal. He is under sentence in Chicago for violation of the Mann act. Johnson, who has been residing in Tijuana, Mexico several months rode in an automobile to the Mexican side of the boundary. He shook hands with several Mexican officers, walked to the American custom-house, presented his passports and stepped across. Deputy United States Marshall George Cooley and Dave Gerson, special agent of the Department of Justice, were waiting for the pugilist and placed him under arrest as he entered the United States. When arrested, Johnson grinned and said: "All right, but—say, it sure is good to get back in the United States again. I am returning voluntarily, for the Mexican government and issued no deportation order against me, as was reported some weeks ago, and I could have remained in Tijuana as long as I was willing to obey the laws of Lower California. But for a long time I have wanted to return and get my troubles settled." Moving-picture cameras clicked as Johnson, and the officers, with spectators crowding them, posed at the boundary monument. The big lighter seemed to be in a joyous mood, laughing and talking with those about him. Johnson was brought to San Diego and arraigned on a Federal charge of being a fugitive from justice. He waived examination, and Commission or W. R. Andrews ordered him held for $10,000 bail. No effort to obtain and was made here, and officers arranged to take the prisoner to Los Angeles immediately. They said Johnson probably would have a hearing tomorrow. Johnson he hoped to re-enter the ring, even if he serves a prison term. DR. GRIFFIN, OF TENAS WILL CONDUCT A SERIES HERE.

Witnesses: R. C. ARCHER. J. D. ARCHER, D. G. C. HE DONET (Continued from First Page.) With nine of twenty-one witnesses examined yesterday afternoon, the trial of William Turner, charged with the murder of Thomas Morgan Moore, a government torpedo expert of Alexandra, was resumed at 10 o'clock Saturday morning before Judge Edmund Waddill, in the United States District Court. On the question of admitting testimony relative to Turner's attack on Miss Clark, following the shooting, objectoin to which was made yesterday by the defense, Judge Waddill ruled that it could be presented. In his objection, Attorney Smith said that the defense would not deny that Turner fired the fatal bullet. He said the defendant would be placed on the stand and would admit that he fired this shot. DECEASED A WIDOWER Miss Clark testified that Moore was 33 years old and a widower. There were several automobiles standing on the road when they stopped, she said, but there were none there when the shooting took place. She ran about 100 feet away from the car before being overtaken by Turner. Prosecuting Attorney Wilson then asked Miss Clark to tell everything that happened after the man overlook her. Attorney Smith objected again as on yesterday, on the ground that such evidence would tend to prove a separate and distinct crime, and not that, for which the prisoner now is on trial. He said it would tend to prejudice the jury. The objection was overruled by the court. Miss Clark testified that Turner caught her by the neck and told her what he was going to do, and almost immediately dragged her into the bushes at the side of the road. She was thrown upon the ground. She pleaded with the man, she said, and he finally desisted and spared her. He left and did not return. She made her way to the road and ran up the highway. The government rested its case at 11:45 o'clock. The court then reopened for fifteen minutes at the request of the defense, to permit a conference. ACCUSED TAKES THE STAND For the defense, Turner, the accused, was placed on the stand. He said he was 34 years old and a native of Arlington, Va. The only trouble he had ever been in was twenty years ago for fighting and for that he served thirty days in jail. His home is in Washington, and he explained his presence in Virginia by saying that he was visiting his brother-in-law. He did not see him and after sitting around for about two hours he left the house and started back home. He saw a party of men shooting craps and decided to join them. After losing about $1.50 he decided to go home, planning to take the trolley car near the highway bridge. He said he saw the car standing on the side of the road. He thought there had been an accident, he said. Going up to the car, he said he thought there was some trouble, and asked if he could be of assistance. Moore replied that there was no trouble and he could not help them, Turner testified. He said he then asked for a dollar, and Moore started shooting. After the first shot, which struck his thumb, he turned, and a second shot lodged in his right hip. He then pulled his pistol and shot, thinking to scare Moore. He denies attacking Miss Clark and said he was never closer than four feet to her. After Moore cried out, he said that he returned to the car, thinking he might be of assistance. When Miss Clark ran up the road toward the bridge crying, he went in the other direction. HIS FIRST VIEW OF COUPLE Turner said he was within three feet of the car when he first spoke. When he first saw Miss Clark and Moore they were rising from the bottom of the car. They then sat down on the rear seat. He said Moore said he had no money, and Miss Clark then gave him the rings. He started away and Moore shot him first; Moore then got out on the running board and shot him the second time. Before the second shot Miss Clark had gotten out on the left-hand side. He shot Moore after the second shot, he said. He shot twice. After Moore was shot, Turner said he walked back and told Miss Clark that he had been shot, too. She started crying, he said, and walked away toward the bridge and he went in the other direction. He said he did not follow her; that was the last he saw of her. HELD IN HIS HAND Turner said he did not put the jewelry in his pocket, but kept the articles in his hand until he was arrested. He identified the two rings and watch. They fell out of his hand he said, when the hand was struck with a "black jack" by a deputy sheriff. He threw up his hand to protect his head. Turner said his brother lived 400 or 500 yards away from the scene of the shooting. After the killing he said he went towards Roslyn and saw another group of men playing dice. He stopped there half an hour and on cross examination, said this was not Take Aspirin With Water Aspirin is trade mark of Bayer Manufacture Monoaceticacidester of Salicylicacid If your Aspirin tablets have the name "Bayer" stamped on them, they are genuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin," proved safe by millions of people. The name "Bayer" identifies the true world-famous Aspirin prescribed by physicians for over eighteen years. Always drink one or two glasses of water after taking the tablets. Each unbroken "Bayer package" on his way home. Judge Waddill ask if he took Miss Clark's jewelry. He said she just gave it to him and he did not know what it was. At 12:45 o'clock Turner was excused and the defense rested its case. Attorney Smith said he was ready with his instructions and they were offered. The jury was excused for lunch with instructions to be returned at 2:30 o'clock. FRIDAY'S TESTIMONY. The taking of evidence started on Friday afternoon shortly after three o'clock, and almost immediately after court convened. The government on the opening of court, quickly completed its opening statement, but eliminated reference to Turner's alleged attack on Miss Clark, to which, at the morning session, the defense had objected. Attorney Smith, for the defense, said the defense had no opening statement to make; that it had no witnesses other than the defendant himself. THE FIRST WITNESS Miss Clark, the first witness called testified that her home was in Chicago but that she had been living in Washington, and that she was secretary to Congressman Frederiek A. Britten, of-Chicago. She and Thomas Morgan Moore were engaged to be married. Testifying, she said that she and Moore were out automobile driving on Saturday night, May 22, and that shortly after midnight, or early in the morning of May 23, they stopped near the Highway bridge on the Virginia side. She was sitting on the left side of the rear seat and Moore on the right. Her fiancee suddenly pushed her from a reclining to an upright position, she said, and as she turned her head she saw Turner pointing a pistol into the car. DEMANDED MONEY Turner first demanded what money Moore had, but in a moment asked specifically for a dollar. Moore replied that he did not have a dollar. Miss Clark stepped out of the car on the left side, and went around to the right rear. Moore was getting out of the car at the time, under instructions from Turner. Turner came around to her and demanded that she give him "what you got." Miss Clark said she replied that she had only jewelry and, pulling off her gloves, she gave him two rings and her wrist watch. The pistol was pointed at her all this time and the man threatened to shoot her, Moore, in the meantime, stepped to the ground on the other side of the car. SHOT ACROSS RADIATOR Miss Clark went around to the left side of the car near the front, followed by Turner. In a moment shooting began across the radiator. The witness said she did not know who fired the first shot. Moore cried out, "Pearl, he's got me," and fell to the ground. Then she started running toward the bridge, seeking aid for Moore, but was overtaken by Turner when several feet away from the car. At this point the witness was instructed to say nothing that later happened to her, under instructions from the court. An attack upon her followed immediately, and she was dragged into the bushes, but the court held that testimony to this effect would not be permissible, since the crime of attempted criminal assault is covered by another indictment against the man. RAN UP THE ROAD Miss Clark, obeying the court's instructions took up the recital of events that followed Turner's attack upon her. She said she ran up the road after the man desisted in his attack. There are two cottages along the highyay, and she thought she might arouse people and obtain aid for Moore. She found both cottages unoccupied and continued towards the bridge. The lights of an approaching automobile loomed ahead, and she ran into the middle of the road, waving her hands frantically, and the car stopped. It contained a party of men, who, taking her in, moved on and found Moore lying by his automobile. On examination by Mr. Smith, Miss Clark said she did not recall that Turner explained his presence by saying he thought the car had broken down or there had been an accident. She did not know who fired the first shot, and knew nothing of Turner's wounds. SHERIFF TESTIFIES Sheriff A. C. Clements, of Arlington county, was the next witness. He said he had been called and informed of the tragedy and, with a deputy sheriff and a jailer, he started for the scene of the crime. At a point near the Aqueduct bridge, between two and two and a half miles from where the murder was committed, they first saw Turner, about 2:45 o'clock in the morning, and threw their headlights on him. The man turned his head away and continued THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA contains proper directions for Colds, Headache, Toothache, Earache, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Rheumatism, Neuritis, and for Pain.

Druggists also sell larger packages. to look in another direction. They drove the car alongside of Turner and a deputy sheriff grabbed him. Turner reached for his pistol, but the jailer caught his hand. At that time Turner gave the name of Johnson, and declared he had been out shooting crap. They found a .38 caliber revolver in his left hip pocket. He identified this pistol and the six loaded cartridges it contained when found on the man. Turner was placed in the automobile and driven to the jail, where he was locked in a cell. TRIED TO HIDE WOUNDS. Witness said he then went to the scene of the crime; to Washington police headquarters, to the Emergency hospital, back to the scene and returned to the jail. Turner was then examined and pistol wounds in the thumb on the right hand and right thigh were discovered, although the prisoner tried to hide them. The sheriff said he called a physician. He identified the union suit worn by the prisoner. Jhiller G. O. Kines was then called and gave the same description of Turner's arrest. He said the man attempted to draw the revolver, but he caught his hand. Turner quivered, he said, when Sheriff Clements charged him with killing Moore. Two rings—a diamond and a broken cameo—which had been previously identified by Miss Clark, were shown him. He said they were the ones found Sunday morning. One was found only five or six feet from the place where the arrest was made and the other about twenty yards away. Sheriff Clements had testified that Turner had not been handcuffed when placed in the automobile, and that the rear curtain windows in the car had been broken out some time before. This opened the way for the prosecution to later charge that the two rings had been thrown out of the car. FOUND THE WATCH. W. 11. Johnson was called and testified to the finding of a watch on Sunday morning, a few hours after the crime. He identified Miss Clark's wrist watch as the one he found on the road not far distant from the point where the arrest was made. A. 12. Servenor, a detective-sergeant in the Washington police department, was called and told of finding the cameo ring in the highway. The next witness was Dr. B. H. Swain, coroner of Arlington county. He told of conducting an inquest into the death of Moore. Death was caused he said, by loss of blood caused by the cutting of a main blood vessel in the chest. In reply to a question, he said that Moore could not have lived longer than a few minutes after being shot. The flattened lead ball taken from Moore's chest was then shown him and was identified. On cross-examination by Mr. Smith, he said he did not believe that Moore fired his own pistol after he was shot. Such a thing was possible, he said, but highly improbable.

Young men with no manners are worse than young women with no character. Practice politeness and show good breeding, even though you have a limited quantity of both on hand. Modesty in a woman is a most becoming trait and in a man, it is a most noticeable attainment. Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, Ohio wants to be a candidate for Secretary of State in the Republican primaries in Ohio and by the decree of the Supreme Court of that State, he is a candidate for that office. Just how the present encumbrant could hope to keep his name off the ballot when he had complied with all of the requirements of the law, is a mystery. It is easy enough to supply distinguishing marks so that a voter may determine just which Smith he desires nominated without embarrassing or curtailing the rights and privileges of either candidate. Knowing Hon. Harry C. Smith as we do, we are satisfied that he would not want a single vote counted for him to which he was not honestly entitled. Secretary of State Smith has displayed poor judgment and still less that spirit of fair play, for which Republicans should be noted, in objecting to a colored competitor in the field of political endowor. THE QUESTION OF LEADERSHIP It seems to us that in the field of political endeavor, Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson has won first place. Regardless of personal feelings, it seems to us to be the part of wisdom to rally behind him and to give him that united support to which his transcendent judgment and masterly political acumen have proven him to be entitled. Dr. Booker T. Washington for many years endeavored to be an industrial economist in the open and a political leader behind the scenes. That he made a "mess" of the latter leadership is now almost universally conceded. It seems to us that if the colored leaders of the country will give this brainy citizen of color a chance, a new day will dawn for the colored people in this country in the matter of political success and the rogaining of much of the ground that we lost during the Booker T. Washington regime and that following the demise of this great colored educator It must be admitted that Mr. Johnson knows how to achieve results. He won and Hon. R. R. Church, Jr. half won and then lost. Both of these colored leaders will remain for some time in the eyes of the public. Both are able, resourceful and in a way financially independent. We favor Henry Lincoln Johnson as leader with the redoubtable Hon. Robert R. Church, Jr. as a close second. As race men, let us have peace and stand together in achieving results at the hands of the incoming administration COLORED LEADERS AT CHICAGO. The Chicago Brotherhood, in its July issue takes a pessimistic view in its columns if we are to judge by a communication from the Executive Secretary of The Lincoln League, Mr. Harrison, M. Gilligan. He declares that the nominees offer hope to the colored people of the country, but that the platform is sadly disappointing. He says: "The choice of Harding and Coolidge as the party standard bearers was almost providential. They can be consistently supported, though it is conservatively estimated that a hundred thousand of Racoe voters will scratch the Republican ticket and give support to the Socialists and nominees of the Third Party, unless Senator Borah of Idaho—arch Negro hater—casts his lot with that party." Is he correct in his conclusions? If he is, would not this mean the abandoning of the fight inside of the Republican Party and the leaving of the white men of the country to fight it out among themselves? But even with this logic, Mr. Gillican shows that the leaders among our people are hopelessly divided as to just what course to pursue in the premises. It also shows that they studiously avoid getting together and that this dislike to act along prearranged lines in order to make their opposition effective, is proving to be the most demoralizing handicap in the whole embarrassing situation. To emphasize this view of the situation, it says: "For this particular reason it was a pitiful sight during the convention to see the former majestic-looking Judson Lyon supporting Roscoe Pickett (white) of Georgia against Link Johnson; the ante-bellum 'Uncle Isaiah T. Montgomery and his son-in-law, Dr. E. P. Booze, with Dr. D. W. Sherrod, fighting Perry Howard and Charles Banks in the interest of M. J. Mulvihill (white); and the amazing spectacle of Attorney James Cobb, of Washington, D. C., who was aided by the friends of Henry Lincoln Johnson in winning his own contest conspiring and voting with white men to prevent a Race man from controlling the Georgia state delegation and being elected to a place on the governing body of the Republican party. "Many have criticised the colored voters of the South for bringing up contests, but even their losing lights were not in vain. After hearing the Arkansas and Oklahoma contests, Senator Warren, of Michigan, succeeded in getting passed a resolution directing the national committee to serve notice on all state organizations that no Republican conventions will be recognized, if held where Negroes are not allowed to attend. The Virginia contest brought out evidence which induced Senator Jackson, of Maryland, to put through a motion directing a searching inquiry into the causes of the decline of the Republican vote in the jilly-white states." This Lincoln League is the one that is alleged to have advised and promoted the Colored Republican Party in this State. Roscoe Conkling Simmons is President and the brilliant contributor to the Brotherhood Magazine is one of the most influential members of the organization. But upon what facts does this writer base his one hundred thousand votes disaffection? Is it mere guess-work or are there organizations in this country, with that approximate membership that are pledged to oppose the Republican candidates at the polls? Until such organizations do exist, the leaders of the Republican Party will regard the statement as an empty threat, which will not be made good at the polls. PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE NOMINEE The nomination of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio as candidate for President of the United States when the Democratic National Convention appeared to be and was hopelessly dead-locked with the open declaration by Senator Carter Glass, one of the spokesmen for President Wilson that his nomination was out of the question, is explained by present developments. This distinguished statesman was on record 'as being in accord to a greater or lesser extent with Hon. William J. Bryan on the League of Nations question. He was in favor of the ratification of the pact as brought about by the President of the United States without any reservations or the adoption of that instrument with reservations. He was quoted as being in favor of maintaining the powers of Congress as set forth in the United States Constitution. He was presumed to be mildly "wet" and to be in favor of the modification of the Volstead Act. For this reason, a "split" was believed to be imminent between the new leader of the Democratic Party, as chosen at San Francisco and the old leader of the Democratic Party, who holds the reins of Government at Washington. To "smooth over" any seeming disagreements, it was deemed advisable to have the two statesmen confer and so Governor Cox journeyed to Washington, D. C. and sat down on a Sunday morning, while other folks attended church to talk over the political questions and to ascertain if there were any radical disagreements between them. The result is now known of all men and it ended in a statement that confirms what we believed before, namely, that the nomination of Governor Cox was brought about by an THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DOUG AND MARY ROYALLY GREETED IN ENGLAND.

J CARL WANDERER KILLS WIFE AND TRAMP. Carl Wanderer, ex-Army Officer is held by the Chicago police, the confessed slayer of his wife, Mrs. Ruth Wanderer and a tramp, whom he persuaded to act as highwayman. agreement on the part of the nominee to support the Wilson policies as they related to international affairs and that on all other questions, noticeably, prohibition, the Governor could "strike his own gait." President Wilson hails from the "wet" State of New Jersey, the votes of which State are needed in the presidential contest. This view is confirmed by the statement issued by President Wilson from the White House. He is quoted as saying: "The interview was in every respect most satisfactory and gratifying, I found what I indeed already know and what Gov. Cox has let the whole world know in his speeches, that he and I were absolutely at one with regard to the great issue of the league of nations and that he is ready to be the champion in every respect of the honor of the nation and the secure peace of the world. Gov. Cox will have the vigorous support of an absolutely united party and, I am confident, also of an absolutely united nation." President Wilson know this at the San Francisco meeting. He could not have known it before that time for the reason that Governor Cox's utterances allied him with the Democratic Senators, who were in favor of reservations that would Americanize the pact of the League of Nations. The anti-Wilson Democrats are now wondering in the language of Tom Watson, of Georgia, "Where are we at?" We're of the opinion that if Governor James M. Cox of Ohio is elected President of the United States, President Wilson and his supporters will be wondering as to how many feet they have fallen, for the occupant of the seat in the White House will be so far above them and so oblivious of their pleadings that they will come to the conclusion that Chief Taggart of Indiana and Boss Murphy of New York knew what they were about and "built better than they knew."

Portsmouth, Va., July 14.—The sixth annual meeting of the Virginia State Negro Business League came to a close tonight after a two days session with an address by Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Washington, D. C. Secretary of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Scott in his address reviewed the history of Negro business development during the past twenty years under the stimulus o the National Business League which was organized by the late Booker T. Washington to promote the commercial and financial development of the colored people of America. Dr. Scott's address in part follows: It was during the month of August, in 1900, when the country had been stirred by race riots at New Orleans, La., New York City, and Akron, Ohio that the Sage of Tuskegee invited a saull group of colored men and women to meet in Boston for the purpose of organizing a National Negro Business League to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro people of America. At that first meeting, a few courageous spirited ventured forth, not to indulge a self-laudation but to take stock of the Negro's achievements in the world of business during the years which had followed upon freedom. There was but little of what may be called rampant emotionalism but there was a great deal of what right serious, sober talk. For the first line in the history of the world black men had come together er to appraise themselves, financial ly speaking, to exchange experiences and to work out a program for the commercial development of their race. Colored bankers, farmers, merchants, miners, real estate men, undertakers, barbers, gathered at that first convention. The sessions were business-like and hopeful. There was recognition on every side that the security and progress of the Negro people in this land must depend up on the development of a moral and an industrial capacity to make them useful and independent. Booker Washington's famous dictum, "Freedom is a conquest and not a bequest," was accepted as the slogan of the hour. Social and industrial unrest is sweeping over our country: It is a symptom of the times no' to be ignored. The country is in upheaval. Efforts have been made to set race against race; labor against capital; employee against employer; farmer against tenant; the stronger against the weaker; men of high repute against men of low repute. We colored Americans have been compelled to hear more than our share of injustice and discrimination at a time when it would seem that if over be fore in the history of our country we have proved our right to fair play to a square deal. During the war we placed the fruit and flower of our race upon the altar of our country's need. Every call for man power was answered by eager hundreds of black men who donned the uniform to go forth as a defender of our country's honor. Anti-racial outbreaks have stirred hostilities and done much to destroy former relations of good fellowship between the races. Present conditions if not halted may become dangerous and alarming. It is necessary there fore that the real leaders of both races should seek in every way possible to stabilize the present situation The races are not hopelessly hostile toward each other. If our ideals and professions are not moonshine and hypocrisy, then a peaceable solution will certainly be found. I confess there is much in the record U discourage optimism. To take the war period lone: During 1917 and 1918 the colored people of America gave a demonstration of patriotic loyalty, efficiency and courage unexcelled by any other element of our population. Democracy was at stake, yet during those critical years 100 colored men and women were lynch ed in the United States, more than ever before during a like period. That was discouraging and not much more encouraging during 1919( and so far during 1920. I am not despondent over the out look. The situation is serious but not desperate. A healthy sentiment in favor of fair play is growing up on many sides. Wise and courageous leaders of both races are now contending that the first and biggest task of democracy is to keep her own house in order. It is vain to talk ideals, unless we practice justice And in the final triumph of justice I never lose faith. What the Negro wants with all his heart, and what America will proudly conceive him, I do believe, can be stated very easily. In substitution for lynchings, he wants justice in the courts; he wants the privilege of serving on juries; the right to vote; the right to hold office; like other citizens. He wants better educational facilities, abolition of the "Tim Crow" car and of discrimination and segregation in the Government service; the same military training and chance for promotion in the army that white men enjoy; destruction of the peonage system, an equal wage, better housing better sanitary conditions and reforms in those penal institutions where men and women of his race have suffered grievous wrongs. That is the Negro problem that is America's problem. Does it impose too much upon the greatest democracy in the world? I cannot believe that it does. West Point, Va June 24 1920.

How long, oh how long, colored people will we continue to lower ourselves and keep our race just where it is and has been for all these years, by not merely accepting these conditions, but by paying to get them? God knows it is bad enough for our people to pay their money for jim crow privilege, knowing that they are to be jim crowed, but when they are jim crowed and have to sit on the floor, it's the limit. And that is just what the colored people of Roanoke, Virginia are doing now to get the chance of seeing a vaudeville show. As yet there are no seats in the jim crow gallery allotted to colored people, and every night they go there just the same and pack the place, sitting on the floor. Many take old newspapers with them for their ladies to sit on. This gallery is a deep, pit like place, in the very top of the house, and the rows of narrow plat form on which the seats are to sit, furnish places to sit, while your feet rest on the row below and against people sitting there. Still our people will walk by a colored theatre, owned and controlled by our own people, where they can walk in the front door and sit where you please and pay for a jim crow seat in a jim crow gallery and sit on the floor. They get insulted if they are asked to go to the gallery when the lower floor is filled at the colored theatre. Is seeing vaudeville worth this price? Is vaudeville so great to our race that we should pay such a price? Is it so sweet, so dear, so all important to us as a race that we should accept or even think of paying for such a privilege? God forbid, and some of the leading people of the race are the gully ones. Some people can be overlooked, but the best among us are guilty, and more so, than the ones we expect these things of every day. It is a sin to see some of our best women, all diked out in their host, going to see a show and sit on the uoor. God help them to see this.
