No. 38 REPU TH Senator H with All Is ination-- Will Give th President W Recognize Chicago, July, "Where Do We Come In?" In his speech of acceptance in Marion, Ohio, Senator Warren Harding, the Republican candidate for President answers the question for the party and for himself. "I believe the Federal government should stamp out lynching and remove the stain from the fair name of America." And this: "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices of blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice do manals." There it is. How do you like it? Those twoographics necessarily brief, but containing more in words by far, than many other subjects, death with in the address, regarded as national in importance adequately and completely cover the rightful demands of the American Negro, are exuding go universal sentiment expressed in letters, telegraphs and by interview to "The Associated Negro Press." It is the first time in many years that a President, or nominee for President, has declared himself for "equal and exact justice for all Americans" in language that cannot possibly be misunderstood. The spirit of Americanism, of Patriotism of Humanity in the entire address, have a direct appeal to the people that surpasses anything heard in many presidential campaigns. More words, just a few of them, on human justice, but they are words of magic, and by them Sena or Harding has attracted the attention and the immediate interest of one of the most important groups of American people. A crisis Republican party had been reached, The National convention in Chicago go had figuratively, and possibly some of them at heart literally, give en the race a swift and low down kick. From one end of the nation to the other a mighty uprora was heard, leaders from every section, educators, business men, people in the every day walks of life, the newspaers of the race, protested and threatened to leave the party, bag and bagage, "Good-Bye Forever." It is no secret that this situation alarmed the leaders, who have held several serious conferences discussing some manner of means to ['come back and make good. With nearly one million Negroes moved North during the last four years, from states where they were prevented from voting by disfranchise ment and the shot gun, to states like Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio where they are easily the balance of power, and where the northern Democrats, from President Cox down, recognizing the "humanity" of the sit uation, to say nothing of the political expediency are making open and organized bids for the votes of black people a situation prevails unlike anything before in American politics. While the South is in the saddle the Negroes are handling the stirrups, there is absolutely no question about that He has been doing some prod ing, but in a spirit of determination rather than of anger. "the majority of the colored poo ge are Republicans," said a proml- ment white leader, recenty; they may be, but the cold fact is, they are thinkers first of all. They are not Republicans from sentiment any longer. They must be reasoned with and they must not be taken for dumplies. Even Senator Harding's magnificent words of precept must be followed by the more magnificent deeds of performance. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAST ```markdown ``` Olehers Installed.

DECLARES THAT MOR LYNCHED THE WRONG MAN. (Associated Negro Press) Durham, N. C., July—In a communication to the Durham Herald, Neto Teer, contractor who employed Ed. Roach, who was lynched near Roxboro, Person County, on charge of attempted criminal assault, declares that Roach was innocent of the attempted crime, that he could not possibly have been guilty and tait the rob made a ghastly mistake in killing Roach. His statement follows: Editor Morning Herald: "I have just read your editorials or the lynching of Ed, Roach in Person County and I feel I would be an unworthy citizen if I failed to state what I know about this matter." "When this Negro was lynched as innocent a man was quarreled as would have been bad you or a work victim of the mob. He was working for me and was a quiet, hard work in g., inoffensive, humble Negro. On Monday he came to me and stated he was sick and wanted to go with me to Durham that night to see a doctor. I greatly regret that I did not take him with me for I believe his life would have been spared, but instead I arranged for him to go Tuesday to Roxboro He continued at his work all day Tuesday until about 5:20 she mind in the crime for which he was lynched occurred between 2 and 3 o'clock that afternoon, when he asked permission of his foreman to stop and go to Mount Tera station to catch the train to Roxboro. Permission not given him and he left for the station walking. As I passed the state's bridge cross the meadow and two men who were watching for the guilty Negro saw him and followed him up the Mount Tera station where he down and waited for the train. The two men sat down in the railroad near him. When the police came to Mount Tera and told him so Roxboro and off the train there. He was not arrested until he got on the train. I am advised by the Chief of Police to be a good what-to, had him to and told them he had not done anything, but he was not told until he got in jail what they had him for. He denied it and told the little girl when she was brought in that she was mistaken; he was and the man, so the sherif informs me. He asked to be taken by my office to see my superintendent with whom I had arranged to carry him to the doctor, but permission was refused him. He had been working for two years and on this particular work since November 1, 1919 and was in every way a straightforward, inoffensive, Negro. His life has been taken for something he knew absolutely nothing about. "A Negro man about Ed. Roach's size came to my camp on Sunday night, was employed on Monday and went to work on Thesday morning, About 8:45 A. M. he drove my team out to the side of the road and had been gone about 25 minutes when my foreman missed him. My foreman took out one of the mules and went to look for him, going up the road to wards Mount Tersa. The Negro saw him and broke and ran over the east side of the railroad going towards Lynchour. This was about 10:30 A. M. Tuesday morning in approximate three-quarters of a mile of the scene of the crime. This man was dressed practically the same as Ed. Roach with cap and overalls, was about the same size but a little dark er in color. He was a strange Negro who had never been in any of our emps before, and the circumstances would point to him as the guilty party. "I make this statement in the interest of truth and Justice and with a full knowledge of the odium I am bringing down upon my own head in doing so, but with the hope that this fearful crime may shock our people as to make its like again an impossibility." --- King's Confession, removed from Second and Leight Streets to L33 N.

Jack Johnson is again on Chicago soil, and is expected to have a new hearing on his case, which has been pending since he tled abroad seven years ago. The former heavyweight champion has many friends in Chicago, and scores of them have offered their services in any possible way to see that he gets an opportunity to properly put his case before the Federal Courts. In a statement for the Associated Negro Press Johnson said: "It is my desire to make my case before the people, so that they will not be laboring under the imposition that if the bad things said about me are true." "I have made many mistakes, and am sorry I had known that all of this trouble would have been brought upon me by defeating Jim Jeffries at Retro. I would have had down in Retro. I did to Willard in Retro." During the war I call upon the American enlisty in Madrid a king the officials there if I could call, it was impossible. JOHNSON'S FLIGHT CLOSED. Chicago, July 25—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugit and for eight years a fugitive from justice, arrived in Chicago this afternoon. Tonight he is a guest of the Federal authorities at the Will County Jail. Upward of 5,000 Negro friends of Johnson's had gathered at the station here, intending to give the pugit a demonstration, but United States marshals halted the California Limit of jaunts outside Joliet and hustled him to the jail. The halting of the train at Joliet as not only a surprise to Johnson but also to the Los Angeles deputy marshals who had him in charge. "Lordy boys! but I am glad to be here! he exclaimed as he grinned at the crowd. "I can look anybody in the United States, and if I can't get a new trial I'm going to take my medicine and keep in condition. The rest of the world is a good place, but give me Chicago. "I'm not looking for any trouble and do not want to stir up anything unless they begin stopping on my toes. I handed over several hundred Mrs. Miller Passes Away.

Miller beloved and sailed mother of Nannie Jones and Mrs. Octavia H. fell asleep in Jesus, Friday, July at 11:15 P. M. Mrs. Miller had been ill for months, yet her death unexpected was a shock not only to her father but to her friends, in whose case she was held. She was a consolent Christian woman, a ray of sunshine with her was always willing in her mood humble way to administer to who were in distress. The funeral services took place Sharon Baptist Church which she had been a member at years. Rev K. K. Johnson, the Moore Street Baptist Church offended, the pastor began of the city. He took his text from portraying beautifully the Christ character of the deceased Illustrator her nieces in the Christian hope and the neighborhood. J. J. Woodson of St. John C. "A few months later, Maj. Lance studied of the United States army. He studied me if I could do certain service work for the government along the coast of Spain. Working under a Captain Fawcett, near Malaga, on the Mediterranean, I found many important things among them a submarine base, and where and how German submarines obtained their oil and gas. During all this time I paid one half of my own expenses. I will immediately get in touch with Maj. Lance who, I believe is now in the United States, I feel that he will beta me. "I was convicted of violation of the Mann act. The case against me was sending Belle Schreiber, upon her solicitation, $500 with which to come from Pittsburgh to Chicago in August, 1910. She told me her sister was very sick and that she wanted a flat for her and her mother. She arranged for the care of them and for the furnishing of the flat, which totaled $2,500 and which I paid, and in addition gave Miss Schreiber a $500 present. "Previous to this time and before I married my first wife—Etta Dur yea Johnson—I had for two years lived with Belle Schreiber, she as my common law wife "Just as soon as my case is cleared up and I am free, I'm going to try and get some fights. I can lick any man in the world today. I'm 42 years old and can do stunts now that I could not do at 22." --- Mrs. Hargrove Passes Away. Mr. John W. Harrogrove, of 2308 Cersley Street arrived in the city a few days ago from Henderson, N. C. where he was called to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. Lucy Hur grove, who departed this life July 5. She had been a long sufferer, but bore her sickness with patience and Christian fortitude. Her funeral took place from Nutbush Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Johnson officiating. He preached a very sympathetic sermon to the bereaved family. She leaves to mourn their loss five children. "Peace to her ashes, rest for her goul." JOHNSON'S FLIGHT CLOSED. Chicago, July 25—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugitt list and for eight years, a fugitive from justice, arrived in Chicago this afternoon. Tonight he is a guest of the Federal authorities at the Will County Jail. Upward of 5,000 Negro friends of Johnson's had gathered at the station here, intending to give the pugitt a demonstration, but United States marshals halted the California Limited just outside Joilet and hustled him to the jail. The halting of the train at Joilet as not only a surprise to Johnson but also to the Los Angeles deputy marshals who had him in charge. "Lordy boys! but I'm glad to be here! he exclaimed as he grinned at the crowd. "I can like anybody in the United States, and if I can't get a new trial I'm going to take my medicine and keep in condition. The rest of the world is a good place, but give me Chicago. "I'm not looking for any trouble and do not want to step up anything unless they begin, stepping on my toes. I handed over several hundred thousand dollars in good hard cash to my supposed friend, but I guess that was the price of experience. I guess the fellows who took my money and steered me wrong have less now than I have, and I haven't much. I'm anxious to come back and make good in Chicago. I'll go to jail and serve my sentence and I'll come out of it a good citizen, as good, maybe a little better than the fellows who rode me for all I had. I have had eight years of the worst punishment any one could get. My self-administered banishment from the United States has been pretty tough, and my wife has stuck through it all with me. I'm hawk now, and I'm going to make good." Johnson's white wife, formerly Lucille Cameron, was on the train with him. He weighed at the jail and registered at 221 pounds with all his clothes on. He did not have the appearance of having changed any from the Johnson who came into Chicago with the crown of Jim Jeffries ten years ago. There was not a trace of fatigue about him and he is as slim waisted and as springy in his step and movements as of old. His hair was close crope dand he wore a belted suit of blue serge, a straw hat and sport shoes. S. A. T. Watkins his counsel, plans to make an immediate plea for bail pending the filing of a brief for a new trial. Application for bail will be made before Judge Alschuler tomorrow morning. Johnson fled from the United States following his conviction of a technical violation of the Mann act in 1912. He was accused of having transported Belle Schreiber a white woman interstate during a theatrical tour following his winning of the world's heavyweight championship from Jim Jeffries at Reno.

PRAISES HARDING'S STAND. Nation Must Be Rescued From the "Reactions of War," Audience Told (Domestic Issues Stressed, but Senate Laege Record Approved— Morrow Makes Notification Northhampton, Mans., July 27. Governor Coolidge in an address formally accepting the Republican nomination for vice president at notification ceremonies here today urged the country to summon its forces to solve the problems of reconstruct ion. He devoted the greater part of his address to a discussion of domes tie issues, but called first for "a return to a thoroughly peace basis, because that is the fundamental American basis." Before domestic problems can be solved, he added, there must be a return from "the voluntary autocracy" established in the emergency of war to a government as exercised under the doctrine of the separation of powers. The exercises were held on Allen field, the athletic ground of Smith College at 3 o'clock this afternoon before a crowd of several thousand which stood throughout the program apparently unmindful of the scorching rays of the sun. The governor spoke from a mound which formed a natural platform. With him on the platform were Senator Lodge, former Senator John W. Wecks of Massachusetts, and other party leaders. An airplane dropped flowers up on the field. Gov. Coolidge's declaration in be half of woman suffrage was the signal for an enthusiastic demonstration. MORROW NOTIFIES CANDIDATE The address of notification was de- livered by Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky who referred especially to the league of nations, saying: "It is fitting that in Massachusetts at this fountain of American inspiration we solemnly determine that the hort tage which made us free, independent and prosperous shall not be bart- ered for a mess of unknown pottage. "You are called," he continued "to serve your country at a time of your country's need. At hope grace economic, industrial, social and govern- mental problems have too long in the pest, and now continue to unress for and demand solution, and upon their proper solution depends the prosper- ity, security, commercial and finan- cial welfare of our own people. APPROVES RECORD ON LEAGUE "The proposed league of nations without reservations submitted by the President to the Senate met with deserved opposition from Republican senators," said Gov. Coolidge. "Our party by the record of its members in the Senate and by the solemn declaration of its platform, by performance and by promise approves the principal of agreement among nations to preserve peace and plagues it so to the making of such an agreement preserving American independence and rights, as will meet every duty America owes to humanity. This language is purposely broad not exclusive, but inclusive. The Republican party is not narrow enough to limit itself to one idea, but wise and brood enough to provide for the adoption of the best plan that can be deviseed at the time of action! PRAISES HARDING AS LEADER "Your presence tells me," said Gov. error Coolidge, in opening his address "of a leader and a cause. A leader in Warren G. Harding, the united choice of a united party, a statesman of ability, seasoned by expérience, a fitting representative of the common aspirations of his fellow citizens, wise enough to seek counsel, great enough to recognize merit, and in all things a stalwart American; the cause of our common country, as declared in the platform of the Republican party the defense of our institutions from every assault, the restoration of constitutional government, the maintenance of law and order, the relief of economic distress, the en couragement of industry and agriculture, the enactment of humanitarian laws, the defense of the rights of our citizens everywhere, there habitation of this nation in the estimation of all peoples, under an agreement, meeting our every duty, to preserve the peace of the world, always with unyielding Americans—under such a leader, such a cause. I serve. "No one in public can be oblivious to the organized efforts to undermine the faith of our people in their government, foment discord, aggravate industrial strife, strifle production and ultimately stir up revolution. * * * The first duty of the government is to repress them, punishing wilful violators of law, turning the ful light of publicity on all abuses of the right of assembly and of free speech and it is the first duty of the public and press to expose false doctrines and answer seditious arguments. American institutions can stand discussion and criticism, only if those who know bear for them the testimony of the truth. "The greatest need of the nation at the present time is to be rescued from all the reactions of the war. The chief task that lies before us is to repossess the people of their govern ment and their property. We want to return to a thoroughly peace basis because that is the fundamental American basis. Unless the govern ment and property of the nation are in the hands of the people, and there to stay as their permanent abiding place, self-government ends and the hope of America goes down in ruins. If the great conflict has disturbed our political conditions, it has caused an upheaval in our economic relations. The mounting prices of all sorts of commodities have put a well-tight unobearable burden on every home. Much of this is beyond relief from law, but the forces of the government can and must afford a considerable remedy. The most obvious place to begin retrenchment is by eliminating the extravagance of the government itself. That great breeder of public and private extravagance, the excess profits tax, should be revised and recourse had to customs taxes on imports. MUST REDUCE EXTRAVAGANCE "A revision of taxation must be accompanied with a reduction of that private extravagance which the returns from luxury taxes reveal as surpassing all comprehension. There has been profitteering. It should be punished because it is wrong. But it is idle to look to such action for relief. This class profit by scarcity but they do not cause it. As every one known now the difficulty is caused by a scarcity of material, and abundance of money and insufficient production. The government must reduce the amount of money as fast as it can without curtailing necessary credits. Production must be increased. One of the chief blindrances to production is lack of adequate railroad facilities. Transportation must be reestablished. There must be a different public attitude toward industry, a larger comprehension for the interdependence of capital, management and labor, and the better facilities for the prompt and reasonable adjustment of industrial disputes The farmers need an enlarged pow er of organization whereby the origi nal producer may profit to a larger degree by the high prices paid for his produce gy the ultimate consum er and at the same time decrease the cost of food. The economic strength of a country rests on the farm. VETERANS DESERVE NATION'S CARE. Whenever in the future this nation udentakes to assess its strength and resources, the largest item will be the roll of those who served her in every patriotic capacity in the world war. Care of dependents, relief from distress, restoration from infirmity, provision for education, honorable preferment in the public service, a helping hand everywhere, are theirs, not as a favor, but by right. There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty they remained loyaly, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every $5 they possessed in liberty bonds; surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all im position to be defended from lynching, and to be freely granted equal opportunities. Equal suffrage, for which I have always voted, is coming. It is now a party question although nearly six have been Republican. The purity stands pledged to use its endeavors to hasten ratification, which I trust will be at once accomplished. NORTH CAROLINA ENFORCES THE LAW. Some weeks ago the Sun and New York Herald had occasion to comment on the failure of the agents of law and order in dealing with a lynching mob in the city of Duluth. An sample of what can be done to protect prisoners from the violence of the mob has recently been given by Thomas W. Bieckett the Governor of North Carolina. On hearing that threats of lynching were being made in the town of Graham against three Negroes charged with attacking a white woman Governor Bickett at once declared at once ordered out a machine gun company to protect the jail. The captain of the company was ordered to safeguard the prisoners at all hazards and to shoot straight if an attempt was made to break into the jail. Needless to say not attack was made. Governor Bickett had the courage and the foresight to prepare for all emergencies. We congratulate North Carolina on possessing a Governor who knows how to handle a mob. (N. Y. Sun, July 20, 1920.)

Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. If there is any charitable club that needs our financial assistance it is this one.

THE RICHMOND PLANET SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY OUR EX-SOLDIERS. Good news for Virginia's ex-service men suffering with disabilities which constitute vocational handicaps was received in Richmond today by the American Legion/Post, the American Red Cross and other agencies cooperating in the work of aiding former service men. Announcement was made that on July 26, 27 and 28 any man who believes himself entitled to re-training at the hands of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, may have his case decided and, if he is eligible, a man can be placed in training at once by appearing at the office of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, 602 Times Dispatch Building, Richmond, Va., on those dates. Local people who received the announcement declared that it marked one of the most momentous steps taken by the Federal Board in the handling of its job of re-training Virginia's soldiers, sailors, marines, or nurses, whose disability, which was incurred in or was traceable to the service prevents them from competing successfully in their old employment. It was also determined to be another long step toward the cutting of so-called "Red Tape" which it has been charged hampers the work of all government bureaucies. The coming of representatives of the Federal Board to Richmond, Va., on the days mentioned, will, it is hoped by those concerned, reach the attention of every man who might have a claim against this department of the government and the visit of these representatives will meant for these men the following things: That if he has not yet made application for Vocational Education, such application will be made for him on the Spot. Immediately he will be examined by a physician of the Board and his case rated; then the case will be decided by a Washington representative of the Board, and if the man is determined eligible he will be placed in training immediately. Men who will make the request to the Board either at the Baltimore Office, 660 Lexington Building, or at Richmond, Virginia, Office, and who will name the railway station from which they will start, transportation will be forwarded them from their home or here and return; provided they reside in the following counties, and provided they are not already in training under the Federal Board. Those men who have made application for training but who yet have certain papers to finish before their cases are completed, may have these papers completed on the spot and their cases acted upon and decided. if they are found eligible they will be placed in training immediately. "It is our purpose," the announcement says: "to decide all cases possible while the representatives of the Board are in Richmond. This will save time required previously in sending cases to the Baltimore Office for rating completion of papers, medical examination and deion. We hope to be able to tell any man who comes before the Baltimore Eligibility Squad whether or not he is eligible for training, and if it is his wish, to furnish him transportation to his place of training before he leaves." The Eligibility Squad will be made up of a member of the Training Section; a member of the Placement Section, two Doctors from the Medical Department, the American Legion Liaison Officer and the Washington Representative. These men will counsel with the applicant and will aid him in determining the kind of training which he may desire and where this already has been done will assist him in completing any papers necessary for his case. The Doctor will examine him for the purpose of determining the nature and extent of his disability. The Washington representative will then act upon the case and decide whether or not the man is eligible. The man then will be immediately placed in training if he so desires, is physically fit and training is feasible. Every man is asked to bring with him a certified copy of the original of his discharge. He is also asked to bring with him, provided he has been awarded compensation. The Letter of Award, or, if this is not available, a check showing that he has received payment on his compensation from the Bureau of War Msk Insurance. These two documents are vital necessary to the completion and decision on his case. All men who wish to avail themselves of this op portunity are requested to get in touch with the American Legion Post, or with the American Red Cross, as it is not known, members of the Board say, when it will be possible for another Eligibility Squad to visit this section, every man is urged to avail himself of the opportunity granted him. Members of the party will be W. H. Magee, District Vocational Officer; S. H. Conner, Washington Representative; R. W. Kent, Supervisor of Training; A. J. Dalton Supervisor or of Placement; Drs. J. C. Stansbury and E. C. Elssonberg, E. W. Dimick, Training Officer; W. C. Jacobs American Legion Liaison Officer.

KINZIE ST. CHICAGO, ILL. Read The Planet and keep informed as to what our Race is doing in world and domestic affairs Blackstone, Va., July 28.—The writer for this column is in receipt of an unsigned communication, asking if he was going to send in for publication in said column an account of an incident which the sender of the communication alleges or curred last week, which as far as we can see, if it really occurred, was solely of concern to the parties involved, and of no concern whatever to the public The writer of the anonymous communication further states that everything else is published in this column, and demanded that this be published also. Now this cannot be true, as our readers well know, for if it were, no doubt there would be a mighty black word picture painted of this anonymous writer. However, if we have published anything too good about this writer of this communication, since we are accused of publishing, "everything also" whether it be true or false, we hereby apologize for same. But we hardly think our conscience would allow us to say something that was too bad about such a coward as this anonymous writer. Having been associated with a newspaper for the past ten years, we are not at all discouraged by this communication since no one conducting a paper or writing for one can please all the people. There is always some one who "knows more about how it should be run than the one who is running it." And there are some who will discontinue their subscription because the editor does not publish a certain article just the way they want it published. But in each such case, two more new subscribers will come in. Since writing for this column, as at all times heretofore, we have tried to extend the same courtesy to all. Then why could not this person come up as a man or as a woman, and not as a nameless coward, and ask the questions they wished to ask and make the demand they wished to make. We would suggest that the writer of the communication in question get his or her bible, if such there be on their premises, if not, borrow one, and read the 26th chapter of Proverbs, and give special attention to the 5th verse. It is not the purpose of this paper to pull down any member of the race, but to do what is in its power to elevate.

The Neighbhood Club of Fulton held its services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon.

THE RICHMOND PLANET SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR EX SOLDIERS. Good news for Virginia's ex-service men suffering with disabilities which constitute vocational handicaps was received in Richmond today by the American Legion Post, the American Red Cross and other agencies cooperating in the work of aiding former service men. Announcement was made that on July 26, 27 and 28 any man who believes himself entitled to retraining at the hands of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, may have his case decided and, if he is eligible, a man can be placed in training at once by appearing at the office of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, 602 Times Dispatch Building, Richmond, Va., on those dates. Local people who received the announcement declared that it marked one of the most momentous stops taken by the Federal Board in the handling of its job of reraining Virginia's soldiers, sailors, marines, or nurses, whose disability, which was incurred in or was traceable to the service prevents them from competing successfully in their old employment. It was also determined to be another long step toward the cutting of so-called "Red Tape" which it has been charged hampers the work of all government bureaucats. The coming of representatives of the Federal Board to Richmond, Va., on the days mentioned, will, it is hoped by those concerned, reach the attention of every man who might have a claim against this department of the government and the visit of these representatives will mean for these men the following things: That if he has not yet made application for Vocational Education, such application will be made for him on the Spot. Immediately he will be examined by a physician of the Board and his case rated; then the case will be decided by a Washington representative of the Board, and if the man is determined eligible he will be placed in training immediately. Men who will make the request to the Board either at the Baltimore Office, 660 Lexington Building, or at Richmond, Virginia, Office, and who will name the railway station from which they will start, transportation will be forwarded them from their home or here and return; provided they reside in the following counties, and provided they are not already in training under the Federal Board. Those men who have made application for training but who you have certain papers to finish before their cases are completed, may have these papers completed on the spot and their cases acted upon and decided. If they are found eligible they will be placed in training immediately, "It is our purpose," the announcement says: "to decide all cases possible while the representatives of the Board are in Richmond. This will save time required previously in sending cases to the Baltimore Office for rating completion of papers, medical examination and decision. We hope to be able to tell any man who comes before the Baltimore Eligibility Squad whether or not he is eligible for training, and if it is his wish, to furnish him transportation to his place of training before he leaves." The Eligibility Squad will be made up of a member of the Training Section; a member of the Placement Section, two Doctors from the Medical Department, the American Legion Liaison Officer and the Washington Representative. These men will counsel with the applicant and will aid him in determining the kind of training which he may desire and where this already has been done will assist him in completing any papers necessary for his case. The Doctor will examine him for the purpose of determining the nature and extent of his disability. The Washington representative will then act upon the case and decide whether or not the man is eligible. Thm man then will be immediately placed in training if he so desires, is physically fit and training is feasible. Every man is asked to bring with him a certified copy of the original of his discharge. He is also asked to bring with him, provided he has been awarded compensation. The Letter of Award, or, if this is not available, a check showing that he has received payment on his compensation from the Bureau of War Msk Insurance. These two documents are vital necessary to the completion and decision on his case. All men who wish to avail themselves of this op portunity are requested to get in touch with the American Legion Post, or with the American Red Cross, as it is not known, members of the Board say, when it will be possible for another Eligibility Squad to visit this section, every man is urged to avail himself of the opportunity granted him. Members of the party will be W. H. Magge, District Vocational Officer; S. H. Conner, Washington Representative; R. W. Kent, Supervisor of Training; A. J. Dalton Supervisor or of Placement; Drs. J. C. Stansbury and E. C. Eisenberg, E. W. Dimick, Training Officer; W. C. Jacobs American Legion Liaison Officer.

July 28.—The writer for this column is in receipt of an unsigned communication, asking if he was going to send in for publication in said column an account of an incident which the sender of the communication alleges or incurred last week, which as far as we can see, if it really occurred, was solely of concern to the parties involved, and of no concern whichever to the public The writer of the anonymous communication further states that everything else is published in this column, and demanded that this be published also. Now this cannot be true, as our readers well know) for if it were, no doubt there would be a mighty black word picture painted of this anonymous writer. However, if we have published anything too good about this writer of this communication, since we are accused of publishing, "everything else" whether it be true or false, we hereby apologize for same. But we hardly think our conscience would allow us to say something that was too bad about such a coward as this anonymous writer. Having been associated with a newspaper for the past ten years, we are not at all discouraged by this communication since no one conducting a paper or writing for one can please all the people. There is always some one who "knows more about how it should be run than the one who is running it." And there are some who will discontinue their subscription because the editor does not publish a certain article just the way they want it published. But in each such case, two more new subscribers will come in. Since writing for this column, as at all times heretofore, we have tried to extend the same courtesy to all. Then why could not this person come up as a man or as a woman, and not as a nameless coward, and ask the questions they wished to ask and make the demand they wished to make. We would suggest that the writer of the communication in question get his or her bible, if not, borrow one, and read the 66th proverbs and give special attention to the 5th verse. It is not the purpose of this paper to pull down any member of the race, but to do what is in its power to elevate.

Will Give the Country Peace Against President Wilson's League of Nations. Recognize Instead a World Court. VOLUME XXXVII, No. 38 REPU TH Senator H with All Is ination-- Will Give th President W Recognize (Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, July.—"Where Do We Come In?" In his speech of acceptance in Marion, Ohio, Senator Warren G. Harding, the Republican candidate for President answers the question for the party and for himself. "I believe the Federal government should stamp out lynching and remove the stain from the fair name of America." And this: "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices of blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the Ameri can spirit of fairness and justice do hands." There it is. How do you like it? Those two paragraphs, necessarily brief, but containing more in words by far, than many other subjects dealt with in the address regarded as national in importance adequately and completely cover the righteous demands of the American Negroes, according to universal sentiment expressed in letters, telegrams and by interview to The Associated Negro Press. It is the first time in many years that a President, or nominee for President, has declared himself for "equal and exact justice for all Americans," in language that cannot possibly be misunderstood. The spirit of Americanism, of patriotism of Humanity in the entire address, have a direct appeal to the people that surpasses anything heard in many presidential campaigns. More words, just a few of them, on human justice, but they are words of magic, and by them Senate or Harding has attracted the attention and the immediate interest of one of the most important groups "American people. A crisis ... Republican party had been reached. Republican party had been reached. The National convention in Chicago had figuratively, and possibly some of them at heart literally, give on the race a swift and low down kick. From one end of the nation to the other, a mighty uproar was heard, leaders from every section, educators, business men, people in the every day walks of life, the newspapers of the race, protested and threatened to leave the party, bag and bag gagge, "Good-Bye Forever." It is no secret that this situation alarmed the leaders, who have held several serious conferences discussing some manner of means to |come back and make good. With nearly one million Negroes moved North during the last four years, from states where they were prevented from voting by disfranchise ment and the shot gun, to states like Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio where they are easily the balance of power, and where the northern Democrats, from President Cox down, recognizing the "humanity" of the situation, to say nothing of the political expediency are making open and organized bids for the votes of black people, a situation prevails unlike anything before in American politics. While the South is in the saddle the Negroes are handling the stirrups, there is absolutely no question about that He has been doing some prod ing, but in a spirit of determination rather than of anger. "The majority of the colored poe are Republicans," said a promi- --- nent white leader recently; they may be, but the cold fact is, they are thinkers first of all. They are not Republicans from sentiment any longer. They must be reasoned with and they must not be taken for dum rises. Even Senator Harding's magnificent words of precept must be follewed by the more magnificent deeds of performance. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Officers Installed. Great Meeting at the Sharon Baptist Church.

DECLARES THAT MOB LYNCHED THE WRONG MAN. (Associated Negro Press.) Durham, N. C., July—In a commun cation (to the Durham Herald, Neilio Teer, contractor who employed Ed. Roach, who was lynched near Roxboro, Person County, on charge of attempted criminal assault, declares that Roach was innocent of the attempted crime, that he could not possibly have been guilty and tainted made a ghastly mistake in killing Roach. His statement follows: Te尔尔, Morning Herald: "I have just read your editorials on the lynching of Ed. Roach in Person County, and I feel I would be an unworthy citizen if I failed to state what I know about this matter. "When this Negro was lynched as innocent a man was murdered as would have been had you or me the victim of the mob. He was working for me and was a quiet, hard-work hg., inoffensive, humble Negro. On Monday he came to me and stated he was sick and wanted to go with me to Durham that night to see a doctor. I greatly regret that I did not take him with me for I believe his life would have been spared, but instead I arranged for him to go Tuesday night to Roxboro He continued at his work all day Tuesday until about 5:30 (hear in mind the crime for which he was lynched occurred between 2 and 3 o'clock that afternoon, when he asked permission of his foreman to stop and go to Mount Tersa station to catch the train for Roxboro. Permission was given him and he left for the station walking. At 5:35 he passed the state's bridge crew (white men) and two men who were searching for the guilty Negro saw him and followed him up the road to Mount Tersa station where he sat down and waited for the train. There two men sat down on the railroad near him. When the train came he got on and paid his fare to Roxboro and got off the train there. He was not arrested until he got off the train. I am advised by the Chief of Police he asked what they had him for and told them he had not done anything, but he was not told until he got in jail what they had him for. He $ _{0} $ denied it and told the little girl when she was brought in that she was mistaken; he was not the man, so the sheriff informs me. He $ _{0} $ asked to be taken by my office to see $ _{0} $ superintendent with whom I had arranged to carry him to the doctor, but permission was refused him. He had been working for two years and on this particular work since November 1, 1919 and was in every way a straightforward, inoffensive Negro. His life has been taken for something he knew absolutely nothing about. "A Negro man about Ed. Roach's size came to my camp on Sunday night, was employed on Monday and went to work on Tuesday morning, About 8:45 A. M. he drove my team out to the side of the road and had been gone about 25 minutes when my foreman missed him. My foreman took out one of the mules and went to look for him, going up the road to wards Mount Tersa. The Negro saw him and broke and ran over the east side of the railroad going towards Lynchourn. This was about 10:30 A. M. Tuesday morning in approximately three-quarters of a mile of the scene of the crime. This man was dressed practically the same as Ed. Roach with cap and overalls, was about the same size but a little darker in color. He was a strange Negro who had never been in any of our cemps before, and the circumstances would point to him as the guilty party. "I make this statement in the interest of truth and justice and with a full knowledge of the odium I am bringing down upon my own head in doing so, but with the hope that this fearful crime may shock our people as to make its like again an impossibility." --- King's Confecttionery, removed from Second and Leigh Streets to 1533 N. Second Street. Opposite Hippodrome Theatre. JACK JOHNSON IN CHICAGO Scores of Friends Offer Services to Former Champion. Johnson Talks Freely--Will Put His Case Squarely Before the People. (American Negro Press.) Chicago, July 29.—Jack Johnson is again on Chicago soil, and is expected to have a new hearing on his case, which has been pending since he fled abroad seven years ago. The former heavyweight champion has many friends in Chicago, and scores of them have offered their sorvices in any possible way to see that he gets an opportunity to properly put his case before the Federal Courts. In a statement for the Associated Negro Press Johnson said: "It is my desire to make my case clear before the people, so that they will not be laboring under the impression that all the bad things said about me are true." "I have made many mistakes and am sorry. Had I known that all of this trouble have been brought upon me by defeating Him Jeffries at Reno, I would have laid down in Reno, just as I did to Willard in Hawaii. "During the war I called upon the American embassy in Madrid asking the officials there if I could enlist. It was impossible. FINDS A SUBMARINE BASE "A few months later, Maj. Lang, an attacke of the United States army in Madrid asked me if I could do certain secret service work for the government along the coast of Spain. Working under a Captain Fawcett, near Malaga, on the Mediterranean, I found many important things, among them a submarine base, and where and how German submarines obtained their oil and gas. During all this time I paid one half of my own expenses. I will immediately get in touch with Maj. Lang who, I believe is now in the United States. I feel that he will help me. "I was convicted of violation of the Mann act. The case against me was sending Belle Schreiber, upon her solicitation, $500 with which to come from Pittsburgh to Chicago in August, 1910. She told me her sister was very sick and that she wanted a flat for her and her mother. She arranged for the care of them and for the furnishing of the flat, which totaled $3,500 and which I paid, and in addition gave Miss Schreiber a $500 present. "Previous to this time and before I married my first wife—Etta Dur yea Johnson—I had for two years lived with Belle Schreiber, she as my common law wife. "Just as soon as my case is cleared up and I am free, I'm going to try and get some fights. I can lick any man in the world today. I'm 42 years old and can do stunts now that I could not do at 22." Mrs. Hargrove Passes Away Mr. John W. Hargrove, of 2308 Cerserly Street arrived in the city a few days ago from Henderson, N. C. where he was called to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. Lucy Hargrove, who departed this life July 5. She had been a long sufferer, but bore her sickness with patience and Christian fortitude. Her funeral took place from Nutbush Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Johnson officiating. He preached a very sympathetic sermon to the bereaved family. She leaves to mourn their loss five children. "Peace to her ashes, rest for her soul." JOHNSON'S FLIGHT CLOSED. Chicago, July 25. Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist and for eight years a fugitive from justice, arrived in Chicago this afternoon. Tonight he is a guest of the Federal authorities at the Will County Jail. Upward of 5,000 Negro friends of Johnson's had gathered at the station here, intending to give the pugilist a demonstration, but United States marshals halted the California Limits just outside Jolice and hustled him to the jail. The halting of the train at Joliet as not only a surprise to Johnson but also to the Los Angeles deputy marshals who had him in charge. "Lordy boys! but I'm glad to be here! he exclaimed as he grinned at the crowd. "I can lick anybody in the United States, and if I can't get a new trial I'm going to take my medicine and keep in condition. The rest of the world is a good place, but give me Chicago. "I'm not looking for any trouble and do not want to stir up anything unless they begin stepping on my toes. I handed over several thousand dollars in good hard cash to my supposed friends, but I guess that was the price of experienced. I guess the fellows who took my money and steered me wrong have less now than I have, and I haven't much. I'm anxious to come back and make good in Chicago. I'll go to jail and serve my sentence and I'll come out of it a good citizen, as good, maybe a little better than the fellows who rode me for all I had. I have had eight years of the worst punishment any one could get. My self administered banishment from the United States has been pretty tough, and my wife has stuck through it all with me. I'm back now, and I'm going to make good." Johnson's white wife, formerly Luelle Cameron was on the train with him. He weighed at the jail and register 221 pounds with all his clothes on. He did not have the appearance of having changed any from the Johnson who came into Chicago with the crown of Jim Jeffries ten years ago. There was not a trace of fatigue about him and he is as slim waisted and as springy in his step and movements as of old. His hair was close crope dand he wore a belted suit of blue sorge, a straw hat and sport shoes. S. A. T. Watkins his counsel, plans to make an immediate plea for bail pending the filing of a brief for a new trial. Application for bail will be made before Judge Alschuler tomorrow morning. Johnson fled from the United States following his conviction of a technical violation of the Mann act in 1912. He was accused of having transported Belle Schreiber a white woman interstate during a theatrical tour following his winning of the world's heavyweight championship from Jim Jeffries at Reno. Mrs. Brooks Dies. Mrs. Nancy Brooks, after a long illness died Tuesday, July 27, at her residence, 1819 Stockton Street. She leaves one daughter, Zelma; three brothers, E. H. Brooks, Richmond; J. J.

The funeral services took place from Sharon Baptist Church, of which she had been a member for 31 years. Rev. R. O.

Discipline Cast Aside After Three Escape; Shake up in Management. As a climax to twelve hours or uneasiness and grumbling in which three inmates escaped and others at tacked guards the 175 prisoners in the New York State Reformatory for Women at Bedford overthrew every semblance of discipline yesterday to engage in a riot that has no duplicate in the history of the State's prisons. Before the fighting was stopped the headquarters of the State Constabulary was in receipt of a fran tic appeal for help and police from towns near Bedford were closing in on the reservation. Scores of women, both white and colored were cut and burned and oth erwise injured, a State trooper had a finger bitten off, half a dozen policemen were battered and scratched and the countryside for miles around was in a panic. It was feared that the rioting women would escape and turn their attacks on one another to attacks on the residents. The pets and the escapes were de clared by Miss Florence Jones new superintendent of the reformatory to be the expected outcome of sentiment shown by the prison's board of managers in directing discipline. Just be fore the fighting began Miss Jones announced she was resigning her post because she did not have a free hand in the administration of her duties. LONE POLICEMAN BREAKS RIOT When the situation became known to Dr. Pearce Bailey, a member of the board of managers, he made desperate efforts to communicate with Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The Governor was to have visited the reformatory yesterday, and it was Dr. Pearce's intention to have him on the scene while the fighting and hairpulping was in progress. One policeman, Thomas Wade, member of the Bedford Police Department was responsible for the end of the biggest of the riots. With a club strapped to his hand he struck down women who attacked him and spread fear and respect for his uniform. His coat was ripped from his back and he had dodged a dozen hot flat irons and carving knives before his assailants were over powered. A serious situation developed when the ten troopers and two officers of the State Constabulary ready to charge the fighting women, were told to put down their sticks. A mem ber of the board of managers gave the order, following out the understanding that kindness should be shown every inmate. Kindness could not be administered from the end of hickory sticks, he argued, and the troopers tried to corral the prisoners unarmed. CONSTABULARY SCORNS PACIFISM It was here that Trooper James Montgomery of White Plains was bitten. Others were bruised and scratch ed, and finally it was reported, Sergt. Daniel Faher, who had led six of the constabulary up from White Plains refused flatly to risk the lives of his men. "Let them protect themselves or stop your own riot," he was quoted as saying in effect. The member of the board of managers refused to give permission and the constabulary drew away. Rumors that Miss Jones was about to resign spread through the reform atory as early as Friday night. There was growing uneasiness among both the white and colored prisoners. During the early hours of the morning the inmates of one of the cottages were thrown into an uproar by the escape of three white women Anna Najolski and Irene Miller, and another whose name was not given. The escapes led to comment and ill feeling among the colored employed in the laundry. Soon after breakfast they began an argument in which Mary Peters a white prisoner led the opposition force. IRON MISSLE IS SIGNAL Women guards outside and inside the laundry failed to realize what was about to happen, but were galvanized to attention when a red hot flat iron hurled by a colored woman through a window after knocking down two whites. The alarm whistles were blowing in a few minutes from one end of the reservation to the other and the local police were being called in. In an instant the fighting mass of laundresses was rolling across the grounds. Knives were flashing in the hands of the colored element, and the white women in spite of the fact that they outnumbered the colored 12 to 9, were being badly beaten. Shouts of pain and cries of help rose above the shouting of guards, and presently the women were being reinforced by those from other parts of the reformatory. ASPIRIN-Its Uses First Introduced by "Bayer" in the Year 1900 Aspirin is trade mark of Bayer Manufacture Monoacetic acididet of Salicylic acid The name "Bayer" identifies the true, world-famous Aspirin prescribed by physicians for nineteen years. The name "Bayer" means genuine Aspirin proved safe by millions of people. In each unbroken package of "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" you are told how to safely take this genuine Aspirin for Colds, Head- Aspirin is trade mark of Bayer Manutac From the colored cottages came we men armed with knives that had been ridden against just such an occasion. They entered the fight with loud yells of defiance for the women guards who tried to stop them. They were in action only a moment when the remainder of the white women at Bedford about 150, rushed up and attacked them. CONSTABULARY IS CALLED OUT By that time, Miss Jones realized the riot could not be stopped by her force of guards, hampered as they were by special orders against discline. She called in the local police and asked Dr. Pearce to summon the constabulary. The colored women were sent to their cottages by the police, but the fighting continued when the cops refused to let the white inmates go after them. There it was that Police man Wade struck the centre of the riot with his club swinging and quelled it. It was late in the afternoon when the last of the fighters had been locked up. At that time Dr. Mary Conant reformatory psychician was beginning a task that would occupy her all night attending the burns and wounds of the rioters. It was estimated that fifty of the women required her attention. Following the riot Miss Jones issued the following statement: "I told the managers I did not feel equal to the task here unless I was permitted a reasonable degree of firmness. The discipline has been re laxed because the managers insisted on running the institution this way. I believe in recreation for the girls and the scientific treatment of psychological cases and all that but I also believe in discipline. (The N. Y. Sun and Herald, July, 1920.) THE Y. M. C. A.

NEW YORK TROOPS IN PITCHED BATTLE WITH COLORED WOMEN Inmates of Reformatory Break Loose Again and Injure Several Guards. New York, July 25.—Twenty-seven Negro women, inmates of the State Reformatory for Women at Bedford, again crashed their way out of a cottage in which they were confined today and in a pitched battle with ten State troopers set as guard over them, injured several of the men. The women used flattrons, cleavers, knives, clubs and rocks as weapons. It was only after a two-hour search through the surrounding woods, that all the Negro women had been rounded up, recaptured and placed under a heavy guard in the guardhouse. Hardly one of the State troopers against whom the assault was launch en escaped some sort of injury. Many of them were burned with flat trons or struck on the head with clubs and bricks, as they attempted to restrain the women. Trouble at the reformatory started yesterday afternoon when two white inmates were ordered to work --- --- ache, Toothache, Farache, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Rheumatism, Neuritis and Pain generally. JACK JOHNSON IN PRISON. Federal Judge Denies Application For Bail. Ex-Champion Was Convicted Several Years Ago on White Slavery Charge. Chicago, July 26.—Jack Johnson's hope of early freedom under bond was considerably dimmed tonight, art every effort of his friends and ternets to obtain his release had failed. Indications are that the former, world's heavyweight champion who fled to Europe six years ago, after being convicted of violating the Mann act, may remain in jail at Joliet for a month. Judge Samuel Alschuler, of the United States District Court today refused to hear an application for bail because Judge Carpenter, who sentenced Carpenter, who is recovering from an operation performed last week, told Johnson's attorneys he might not be back to his office for a month or more. Johnson has a private cell and is permitted to send outside for his meals. Although Johnson forfeited a bond of $30,000 when he fleed from the country, his attorneys said today they were prepared to furnish bumps up to $50,000 to bring about Johnson's release. PRISON REFORMERS MAY GO OVER VICKETS HEAD Statement Issued That If Conditions Warrant Association Will Appeal to Legislature. Washington, July 26.—An investigation of prisons and prison farms in North Carolina already has been made by the Prisoners' Relief Society of this city, according to a statement today by E. L. Dudding, president of the organization in reply to a declaration Saturday by Governor Rickett, that he did not propose to "let anybody from outside North Carolina investigate any of our institutions." Governor Bickett's statement followed publication in North Carolina of dispatches from Washington, to the effect that the organization was contemplating an investigation of an "epidemic of complaints" concerning prison conditions in that State. "The matter of the conditions or the road camps prisons of North Carlo Mina, was brought to the attention of Governor Bickett a year ago," said Mr. Dudding's statement. "Complaints continue to come to us and we have been looking into the matter of the treatment of convicts in North Carlo Mina, and if the report of our investigators warrant such action we will bring the matter to the attention of the North Carolina Legislature at its next session. Mrs. Rex B. Duckett is in North Carolina now and she may remoin for some time, getting facts on the matter in question. Mrs. Duckett is native of Raleigh, N. C., so the Governor is dealing with his own people in this matter." Mrs. Duckett is assistant treasurer of the Prisoners' Relief Society and is the wife of the Rev. R. B. Duckett pastor of a Baptist church in this city. LARGE CROWD READY. Jack Johnson Taken From Train at Joliet, Illinois. Chicago Police Use Clubs on Two Thousand Colored Folks Gathered to Welcome Ex-Champion.

There's no reason why a person should take sediment, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of masty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and muscused tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoon of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and wake up feeling great. No more billioness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sore stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.

BRYANS REPLIES TO MR TILLMAN ON THE JIMCROW QUESTION. Turtle Creek, Pa., July 22, 1920 Richmond Planet, Richmond, Na. Dear Editor,—In your issue of July 10, 1920, you published a letter from one Steve E. Tillman, who calls you to account for your editorial on the Jim-crow curs of the Southland. Mr. Tillman, if he has not read the story of Human and Mordecai, I would advise him to do so. He may be of the opinion that while the Southland is in sway and in the saddle and has control of the affairs of the inhumanity to man, as conducted in many parts of this, the home of the free and the brave, that the king whom he delights to honor would have all the Negroes in the Southland bowing down to him. But the story tells us what became of Haman. He asks the question: "If you were white, would you be in favor of some one out of proportion colored lady sit herself along side of you, would you like it. Your answer is no. PLEASING TO NEGRO-HATERS. Such an answer, men of Mr. Tillman's type would have you give, in order that he and his kind could have the excuse to place on the statute books of the Southern commonwealth more laws of such nature in order to keep down a progressive people, or as he puts it, keep them in their place—as he would measure it out to them. The Negro must not look up or attempt to get up or ask for better conditions in which to raise his family as in the days of Daniel and his three friends. But God in those days did not allow all of the imps to have full sway, so in this day and year of our Lord, 1920 as in the days of 1776, when Patrick Henry threw off the British yoke and cudgel all the force that God had given him, with, "Give me liberty or give me death." In like manner I say to the colored race in these United States of America to put on the whole of manhood that God has given them by being men under all afflictions and prove to the world that they are men in every sense of meaning of the word, men. A QUESTION TO MR. TILLMAN. I would ask Mr. Tillman: Suppose he was a colored man and had all his life and his family since before the days of July 4, 1776 enjoyed all of the freedom in the Northland and one who had taken part in all the wars to make this land a fit and proper place to live in for all men, would he, Mr. Tillman feel like submitting to all insults that have been put on the colored race by the lower elements and the very imps of hell itself, if there was any, manhood in him? Would he not do all that it would be possible for him as a man and a citizen of the U. S. A. to have his rights and pursue them and his own happiness and that of his family? Would Mr. Tillman like it? QUESTION OF CO-HABITATION. Now, Mr. Tillman, if Booker T. Washington's advice to keep his own race of the Southland as separate as the fingers, was heeded, the many ghosts that are haunting him would disappear: namely the intermingling and co-habiting of the races and the past shows conclusively that the white man will not let the colored woman pass by without the eye of lust following her, and yet to be seen in a seat of some conveyance with her, is a stench to his nostrils. Mr. Tillman asks what right has the Negro to want or ask for such privileges of the white man. First, history tells me that the first life to be offered in behalf of liberty was a Negro and besides, sir, the Negro race since that day has shed his blood all over this land for the same cause that he may have at least a chance to pursue and seek after happiness, win the right to till the soil or work wherever he can, with anyone who feels inclined to let him have a chance to work out his own plans. CAUSTIC LANGUAGE Mr. Tillman claims that the Negro in his opinion has no rights—Dred Scott like. But Mr. Tillman speaking for his race says that the Negro knows that he should not ask for any rights that the white man enjoys. For instance Mr. White Man looks with the eye of last after the daughter of some wash-woman of the Negro race. She or her father must submit to the abuse and endure the shame and not raise a voice or a hand against this white brute under penalty of lynch-law in order to keep the Negro in his place, as he calls it. In my opinion there are many Potiphar wives and daughters who lay hold of Joseph's coat, but I am willing to confess that the Negroes are not all Josephs, but some are like persons of Mr. Tillman's race. In looking over the history of 'this Southland I find many Ammons, who caused his half-sister to put on ashes and rend her clothing. I have seen in print that the white men of the Southland went further than Amnon, they have compelled their own daughters, born to them from the very kind of person Mr. Tillman speaks of. But this being a white man, probably in Mr. Tillman's opinion, he is keeping within his rights to do as he pleases. She must submit to his brutish wishes and still the father of his daughter, born to him from his own daughter in like manner would have to submit to his unnatural affections—but he is white, you know. TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY Mr. Tillman thinks the Negro should go back to Africa or Mexico, whose people, he tells you are a little better than the American Negro. When the Negro was in Africa, the white men brought him to this country. I have no fault to find with the white men in the part he played in that day, but rather look upon it as part of God's plan, that through it Ethiopia will stretch forth her hands to God and become a blessing to this people, not a curse. I read of one Villa in Mexico that would probably set up a government that the American Negro would be welcome, but Villa has been hunted by the army of the United States to prevent him from setting up any kind of a government. Why? Because the white men are there and want it for themselves and like manner in Africa. So I can see no place for the American Negro to go but to stay or remain in America where he belongs for he has been bought with blood and has a right to stay notwithstanding Mr. Tillman and the injustice toward the American Negro a peaceable people, and if let alone would raise up children to Abraham after their kind and dwell in the land that God hitherto has brought them as the oak and the walnut trees in the forest. WHITE CRIMINALS WITH BLACK FACES. Mr. Tillman did it ever appear to you that many of the crimes charged to the Negro of the Southland were by some white men who used burnt cork to put the crime on some Negro? I have not as yet seen or read of the Negro painting himself white in order to put his crime on the white man. Yours for peace and good will toward all men. W. A. BRYANS. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ONE R. C. SMITH QUITS: ANOTH ER HOLDS OFFICE WHICH THIRD IS SEEKING. Columbus, Ohio, July 18.—Up to a few days ago there were three H. C. Smith's running for secretary of state of Ohio on the Republican ticket. One of them, H. C. Smith, of Elyria, dropped out of the race, and now there are two. Harvey C. Smith, of Zanesville, now is secretary of State and is out for a second term. He got a shock the other day when he found two other of the same name had entered in the primary election, set for Augs. The Elyria H. C. Smith quit when Zanesville H. C. Smith's friends said it hardly was fair to confuse the voters but H. C. Smith, of Cleveland refused to be persuaded. The Cleveland H. C. Smith is a Negro, whose initials stand for "Henry Clay." The secretary of State tried to get the Ohio Supreme Court to keep the Negro out of the race, but the court ruled it could be an open race for Smith's, so long as they complied with the primary law. PINCH J. BARLEYCORN RIDING IN TOWN HEARSE. 148 Seymour, Conn, July 22.—Federal liquor agents in this vicinity have been stopping everything that moves on wheels in their search for illegal liquor cargoes, but funeral processions managed to escape until today. A hearse proceeding solemnly through the main street of this villa lage without coaches trailing behind attracted the attention of the agents. They stopped it, although with misgivings because of the presence be side the driver, of a man garbed as a priest and carrying a prayer book in his hands. Inside the hearse were several gallons of high proof whiskey. The driver and the "priest" were arrested. AGED 115; SAYS CENSUS TAKER --- Los Angeles, Cal.

C., grandson of "Marse George" McCown whose "mammy" she was in the days of slavery. The woman said "when the stars fell" which was in 1833, "Marse George" told her to remember she was 29 years old. "I count from then," she said. "Marse George promised me my free dom on my next birthday, but, he was drowned before it came. INDICT ALLEGED LYNCHERS FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER. Paris, Texas, July 26.—The special grand jury drawn to investigate the recent burning of two Negroes held on charges of murdering a farmer and his son, today reported five indictments for first-degree murder and adjourned.

First, history tells me that the first life to be offered in behalf of liberty was a Negro and besides, sir, the Negro race since that day has shed his blood all over this land for the same cause that he may have at least a chance to pursue and seek after happiness, win the right to till the soil or work wherever he can, with anyone who feels inclined to let him have a chance to work out his own plans. CAUSTIC LANGUAGE Mr. Tillman claims that the Negro in his opinion has no rights—Dred Scott like. But Mr. Tillman speaking for his race says that the Negro knows that he should not ask for any rights that the white man enjoys. For instance Mr. White Man looks with the eye of lust after the daughter of some wash-woman of the Negro race. She or her father must submit to the abuse and endure the shame and not raise a voice or a hand against this white brute under penalty of lynch-law in order to keep the Negro in his place, as he calls it. In my opinion there are many Potiphar wives and daughters who lay hold of Joseph's coat, but I am willing to confess that the Negroes are not all Josephs, but some are like persons of Mr. Tillman's race. In looking over the history of the Southland I find many Ammons, who caused his half-sister to put on ashes and rend her clothing. I have seen in print that the white men of the Southland went further than Amnon, they have compelled their own daughters, born to them from the very kind of person Mr. Tillman speaks of. But this being a white man, probably in Mr. Tillman's opinion, he is keeping within his rights to do as he pleases. She must submit to his brutish wishes and still the father of his daughter, born to him from his own daughter in like manner would have to submit to his unnatural affections—but he is white, you know. TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY Mr. Tillman thinks the Negro should go back to Africa or Mexico, whose people, he tells you are a little better than the American Negro. When the Negro was in Africa, the white men brought him to this country. I have no fault to find with the white men in the part he played in that day, but rather look upon it as part of God's plan, that through it Ethiopia will stretch forth her hands to God and become a blessing to this people, not a curse. I read of one Villa in Mexico that would probably set up a government that the American Negro would be welcome, but Villa has been hunted by the army of the United States to prevent him from setting up any kind of a government. Why? Because the white men are there and want it for themselves and like manner in Africa. So I can see no place for the American Negro to go but to stay or remain in America where he belongs for he has been bought with blood and has a right to stay notwithstanding Mr. Tillman and the injustice toward the American Negro a peaceable people, and if let alone would raise up children to Abraham after their kind and dwell in the land that God hitherto has brought them as the oak and the walnut trees in the forest. WHITE CRIMINALS WITH BLACK FACES Mr. Tillman did it ever appear to you that many of the crimes charged to the Negro of the Southland were by some white men who used burnt cook to put the crime on some Negro? I have not as yet seen or read of the Negro painting himself white in order to put his crime on the white man. Yours for peace and good will toward all men. W. A. BRYANS. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ONE H. C. SMITH QUITS: ANOTH ER HOLDS OFFICE WHICH THIRD IS SEEKING. --- Columbus, Ohio, July 18.—Up to a few days ago there were three H. C. Smith's running for secretary of state of Ohio on the Republican ticket. One of them, H. C. Smith, of Elyria, dropped out of the race, and now there are two. Harvey C. Smith, of Zanesville, now is secretary of State and is out for a second term. He got a shock the other day when he found two other of the same name had entered in the primary election, set for Aug. The Elyria H. C. Smith quit when Zanesville H. C. Smith's friends said it hardly was fair to confuse the voters but H. C. Smith, of Cleveland refused to be persuaded. The Cleveland H. C. Smith is a Negro, whose initials stand for "Henry Clay." The secretary of State tried to get the Ohio Supreme Court to keep the Negro out of the race, but the court ruled it could be an open race for Smith's, so long as they complied with the primary law.
