Amiston Aug. 7.—Edgar Caldwell well died on the gallows in the county jail yard Friday for the murder of a street car conductor Cecil Linton in December 1918. The trap was spring at noon and 12 minutes later Caldwell was pronounced dead by six physicians. He retained remarkable courage till the end. He was permitted to witness the public from 2,300 assembled in front of the jail shortly before his execution. He spoke to minute-delivering an address which brought tears from many. There were many women among his hearers. He prayed read the twenty-third Psalm and concluded by singing a stanza of the hymn: "I am going to walk and talk with Jesus." The crowd listened mutely to admonitions by Caldwell to all people to lead higher liaisons. He prayed that young men and boys would avoid the liquor habit and appealed to women to live more uprightly. When his address was concluded Caldwell was carried inside the jail where Captain Holder of the Salvation Army held prayer with him. He bade his attorney Chas. D. Kline good bye declaring that the lawyer had fought a good tight and closing with "God bless you" he was then carried into the canvass enclosure where the scaffold was erected. On the way out he stooped down to take the hands of the little son of the dead conductor, speaking kindly to him of his sorrow for the murder of the boy's father. He shook hands with the wife of Linton who had come here from Clay County for the execution. With her was also a baby born since the murder of Linton. They witnessed the execution inside the enclosure. Mrs. Linton made the black death mark which was placed over Caldwell's head on the scaffold. Caldwell went to the gallows with a firm step and a smile. About 200 people were admitted to the inlogure all of whom were deeply impressed by the fortitude of Caldwell. A few minutes before 12 o'clock the loop was adjusted about his neck, when the trap was springing the break in of his neck, could be heard distinctly. Crowds of people from the country districts and nearby towns came here to witness the hanging. On the tops of buildings from which the jail yard was visible many men and boys were perched to get a view of the hanging. Afterwards the streets appeared like a circus day. Caldwell's body was turned over to a local undertaker. His wife who lives in Birmingham had not seen her husband in months. She wrote the undertaker a letter asking him to take charge of Caldwell's body. She said she would be present at his burial. NEW YORK DELEGATION COMPLEMENTS COOLIDGE.

"The colored delegation from New York city po the Republican state convention in session here have been supplied with a tonic of tremendous potency by your splendid stand for social justice as expressed in your speech of acceptance.

JACK JOHNSON AND HIS TRIBULATIONS JACK JOHNSON AND HIS TRIBULATIONS Chicago, Aug.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, is still having his troubles. The vision of early treason which he brought with him from Mexico, has been revised, and he continues to "within the law," in other words, jail. His real journey to Chicago was abruptly stopped within "stone's throw" of the big city and his party disembarked at Joffel. His wife came on to Chicago. Through a series of technicalities, his attorney S. A. T. Watkins, has been unable to procure bail. Because, it is claimed, he was getting too much royal consideration from the sheriff in Peoria—who must be a regular fellow—giving Jack automobile bike rides; nut sundances; and other luxuries and delicacies enjoyed on ly in the best hotels, district attorney Cline of the Federal court has ordered him detained in the hostelry of another county, with instructions that "Jack Johnson be treated the same as any other prisoner. Jack still has his "golden smile," and may have some "deep stuff" information in the back of his head, but his feet are licking to be on State Street, and judging from the throng that attempted to get a look at him when his train arrived from the Coast he has many well wishers. A union of leading citizens have advised that no demonstration be made in Johnson's behalf until after he has had his day in court. --- MAMMOTH RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY IN PETERSBURG, VA. The largest assembly of detention in this city in many years certainly not since the funeral of the late and lamentable Rev. Lazarus A. Black, former pastor of First Baptist church Harrison street which was correctly packed from pit to dome and the street and then the adjoining road from Liberty street to the New market were filled with surplus broths was in evidence yesterday afternoon at the fairground in W. 11th Farm. All roads led to the grounds and every section and every occupation in the city was repopulated and many visitors from nearby counties and cities towns and humbs helped swelled the multiuse. The electric car system was taxed all cars being packed. No. 100 P. M. people were on their way to points of vantage to board the cars and at 3 o'clock the time of opening the services, the commendations grandstand in the fair grounds was packed to overflow by black and white of the city's population. The occasion was an overgrown comp meeting with a special sermon which was at the request of several prominent white citizens who were anxious to see and hear the noted and far tarred evangelist, sometimes called the "Black Billy Sunday," preached by Dr. Charles P. Dixon a native of South Carolina but who for a number of years had made his home in Canada where he was educated. The meeting was one hour late in getting started, due largely to the street car service. In the interval the homene audience well conserved the time in singing the good, old sweet songs of Zion, which were richly and fittingly interspersed with the soul-stirring spiritual songs of those stalwart and sterling generations antitating the war between the states, the white audience Joining hastily in the singing and seemed perfectly at home. Several prayers were audibly addressed by the devout to the Father of all nations of people that dwell upon the face of the earth. Deep piety and a high religious fervor ensured throughout the very touching and impressive services. In the closing scenes of this service a free-will offering was taken which amounted to a handsome sum, it is believed the officials had not concluded the counting before dismission. This was followed by a sport but viewing introductory aides by Dr. Eli Tartte, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist church, Cedar street, who is possessed of the distinction of being one of the most popular pastors in the city and state and who has the largest following perhaps, of any of the local pastors or preachers, in presenting the distinguished evangel list. The very spirited devotional services, in which Dr. Tartte led the hymn, "Since Jesus Came Into My Soul," followed by Dr. W. J. Watts, a prominent white minister, who read first epistle of Paul, the apostle to Timothy and first chapter at the conclusion of which he offered up a very fervent prayer." "Am I a Soldier of the Cross?" led by Pastor Tartte brought these services to a close. brought these services to a close. Promptly at 4 P. M. Dr. Dixon arose and sang a deep spiritual hymn in which the densely parked audience joined. After thankking all those who had made it possible for this meeting place and this great assemblage in glowing terms from St Mark 2:2v. "When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee," which he treated with a master mind and a voice clear, strong, and penetrating that was his and audible to the earth cried part of the building, he used with magic effect in building upon the foundation of this text with convine illuminating argument that left not one of his vast concourse of hearers in doubt as to the "Man Saved Without Prayer," which was his theme and which he worked out so skillfully, cleverly and brilliantly fortified by Scripture citations, apt illustrations, titting and interesting stories, which he uses with marked effect in stressing his points, and driving home the truths he would have stamped in the mind and heart of his auditors. He concluded his sermon at 5:10 with his audience deeply affected. The congregation was then led to a throne of Grace with a very effectual prayer by Mr. C. E. Knowles a local and popular white citizen. The Doxology was next sung and benediction was proclaimed by Dr. Watts. Numbers afterward pressed about the eloquent and forceful speaker extending hand-shakes of joy and of congratulation many venuring the statement that his was the best discourse they had ever list end to. All is agreed that much good will accrue from this meeting and the occasion will be long and pleasantly remembered. The meetings will continue through next week at the Metropolitan Baptist SECRETARY BAKER SCORED BY WHITE PRESS FOR HIS ATT TUDE TOWARD NEGRO (Availability: Norma Press) Paul Raven, Mass., Aug. - The Paul Raven News, one of the leading daily takes, Secretly of War Baker to ask for his expression on the article of the War Department with reference to Negro soldiers says to News. "Secretary Baker has definitely rejected the appeal of colored officers out of色院 in the army. He reasons that offensive decisions leaves in a letter published in press, for this month. He says that it is the policy of the War Department to assign national guards, units, recruited from to duty that will not incorporate them in a division composed of white organizations. For this reason it has been decided that colored troops in national guard service shall be organized into pioneer infantry units that can be assigned to duty under command of corps head quarters. Mr. Baker professes the belief that that "dispassionate thought" will indicate the wisdom of this policy. It chooses the letter with the as assurance that "the war department ful it" appreciates the very creditable quality of service rendered by our colored organizations during the world war and that in arriving at our decision concerning the future employment of colored national guard units, we were guided solely by considerations bearing upon military efficiency, and with no intentions whatever of discrimination between the races that go to make up our country's population. "Is it possible that Secretary Baker can suppose that his last statement can be credited by any considerable number of the people? It is patent to every observer that there is a sharp discrimination between the black and white races. If the decision is not a stigma on the colored soldier on account of his race why does the department not decree that Irish Americans or Franco-Americans or Polish-Americans shall be made pioneers as signed to the drudgery corps? It is a race stigma that the decision afflicts to colored soldiers. Secretary Baker may think that the exigencies of the situation justify the decision. But, if so let him try to justify it without the falshood that no race discrimination is intended. Of course it is intended."

TOON DR. HAY'S LIQUOR The Federal Prohibition officials raided Miller's Hotel, corner Second and Leigh streets this week and took eighteen cases of whiskey down to the Custom House "for investigation." Reports were circulated that it was found in Miller's Hotel inerminating that part of the establishment. A talk with Dr. Hay brought out the information that there had been some disagreement with the express company and the Federal officials came an dtook away the whiskey. As Dr. Hay has a licensed pharmacy and is authorized to sell whiskey co-prescription and the cases of whiskey were found with seals unbroken, it is believed that the "medicine" will be returned at once to its legitimate owner.

Denver, Colo., Aug. 6. The strike o' Hammon employed by the Denver Tramway Company was called off by the executive committee c. the Tramway Men's Union late tonight. The men will meet tomorrow to confirm the action of the executive committee. Three men were killed and thirteen injured when rioting was resigned by the striving street car mea and their sympathizers at the East Side burns tonight. The mob advanced toward the burns and was met with a volley of rifle fire from inside. The dead are: Dan Sullivan, 25 years old; Dan Flannigan and Charles Hansen all of Denver; John Collins, 35 and Leonard Tremmer, 18; both of Denver were so seriously injured they may die. A crowd of several hundred gathered about the barns early in the evening but contented itself with shouting until shortly before 8:30 o'clock, when an effort was made to close in on the barns. The move was met with a fusillade of shots from those protecting the barns. A detachment of armed police was on duty at the barns and the 150 strike breakers housed there also were armed. Federal troops are expected to arive in the city tomorrow to assist the police force. The Governor resolved a telegram from the chief o'f staff at Chicago that 590 troops would leave Camp Finston, Kansas, for Denver early tomorrow morning. The chief of staff also authorized Governor Shoup to call on Fort Loyd, his outside of Denver for troops that immediate use, but no call had been made on there up to a late hour tonight. JUDGE ORDERS RECALL Judie Goobey W. Whitford in the District Court that afternoon ordered borders of the stifling street car train to recall immediately the order on the Sunday, for a strike on the Denver trainway victim. The judge found seven officers and executive commissioner of the car company's union action of contempt for officer the strike. They were Honey Billiers J. A. Parker J. P. Pence A. Coffey J. F. McKibble L. J. Sait and S. H. Schoolpill. The judge officers were allowed to have violated an injunction obtained by the city several weeks ago restraining the company from reducing wages and the men from striking. The men are striking for higher pay. Union officers were in session to resist obstructing what action they would take as a result of an order is stood by Judie Whitford directing them to revoke the strike order. Between four hundred and five hundred American Legion members, wearing the uniforms which they wore during the world war, are parrying the outlying district of the city to night to relieve the regular police men for duty in the downtown sections. Armored motor cars equipped with mounted machine guns were ready to petrol the downtown district. Other machine guns were mounted on tops of buildings near possible trouble centers. More than a thousand civilans volunteered to assist the police force in maintaining order. They were armed with army rifles, sawed off shotguns and revolvers. THEATERS ARE CLOSED All theaters, including moving picture houses, in the down town section were closed tonight. Citizens were requested by Mayor Bailey to remat it home. Statements by officers of the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly and of the Tramway Men's Union were isued today, denying they were responsible for rioting. J. S. Goble, an organizer for the Trades and Labor 'Assembly', declared that the blame belonged to local civic bodies, which have been agitating for the "open shop" in Denver. He said their "propaganda" had infuriated the workers of the city and made them ready for violence. The committee of ten from the Trades and Labor Assembly which held two conferences with the Mayor one just prior to the start of the rioting, also issued a statement denying that the assembly or any member of the Tramway Men's Union was responsible for the trouble. According to company officials there are now 500 strikebreakers in the city and 200 more due tonight. PRICE, FIVE CENTS REFUSES MEMBERSHIP IN CHESS CLUB United State Public Health Service Hospital, Fort McHenry Md., Aug. 7, 1920 Baltimore Chess Association, N. E. Corner Howard & Franklin Streets Baltimore, Md. Gentlemen, we assured of my utmost thanks for your favor of recent date inviting me to become a member of your Association. I am a chess enthusiast and sincerely appreciate the distinctive honor that your invitation represents. And yet, kind gifts, with an inexpressible regret, I must say that a consciousness of a certain phase of this matter makes me believe that my acceptance of membership with you would be inexpedient. Literal language seems meager indeed with which to express what I have to say, but I trust that you will catch something of the underlying spirit of it all—and understand. I think it quite probable that you are not apprised as the race identity of the writer. "This does not not matter," I seem to hear you say in ghee impressive words of your obliging letter: ... "Chess Clubs are the most democratic and cosmopolitan of all social organizations. The only test of eligibility is a good moral character and due regard for the ethics of clean sportsmanship." It cannot be charged, justly, that either your living generation or mine is responsible for the American Color Question. We may rightly, consider ourselves blameless, at least, with regard to its origin. Yet, we who live and move and have our thoughtful beings cannot escape our several responsibilities as to its present aspects and influences good, bad or both. However, regardless of the ethics involved in this problem of the races, we are a part of the persistent habit of thought or attitude of mind that operates to prohibit social relations between the two races, represented by yourselves and the warrior. Whatever may be our personal convictions regarding this custom collect in the country of our births, let us abide by its mandates: till the faithful prayers of the righteous have prevailed and we you and I have free enough and brave enough, and then enough to hold the conscience of our outraised souls, to the end that we may be each to each what heaven requires of us, and not, as we are now the slinking slaves of a vain and unpardonable convention. With a heart full of profound fellowship toward you and trusting that I shall have always the gracious goodwill of your Association. The forthcoming meeting of the National Baptist Convention promises to be the greatest and most largely attended session in the history of the organization. It is very desirable that all Baptist Churches through out the country be represented at Indianapolis, Indiana. And, while all can not send messengers, all can send a letter, and we especially appeal to every Baptist church to be represented either by messenger or by letter. Letter forms and properly addressed envelopes will be furnished to any and all who may desire them by addressing the Secretary, R. B. Hucson, Selma, Alabama. The representation fee is only $5.00 for a church and $10.00 for an association or convention. Yours truly, E. C. MORRIS, President, R. B. HUDSON, Secretary. ENTERTAINED THEM.

Chicago. Senator Warren G. Hard ing’s conception of the duty of the Federal government to the loyal col- ored citizenship of the country, em- bodied in his speech accepting the Republican nomination for President at Marion Ohio, July 22, has over shadowed all other issues in the feands of colored Americans, With characteristic concentration Senator Harding interpreted the fondest hop es and desires of the colored people, proceeded directly to a policy that would bring about their cosummation and drove home and clinched an_es- sential Guth whieh has been tugging for years at the Just American heart; Which has been denied by “lesser vreeds without the luv," and relent lessly striven for by the law-abiding, wmbitious and — progressive colored man. Senator Harding, in full sympathy with the race, did not do the common plice thing; just simply conaemn lynching. Iiverybody does that. Wo firmly believe that those who engage in the disgraceful practice, condemn it. Phe candidate for President found a remedy for it, He said: "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that staln from the fair name of America.” From this unequivocal stand the colored people of the country. have takon heart, and the hope ani faith spring eternal that with the election of Harding there wlil be a new era of opportunity and endeavor open to the race. ‘There was no soft pedal em ployed by the statement made by Sev ator Harding, who went even further and said: “I believe the Negro citl- zens of America should be guaran- teed the enjoyment of all their rights that they have earned the full meas- ure of citizenship bestowed, — that their sacrifices in blood on the bat {lefields of the republic have. entit: ed hem {o all of freedom ani oppor tunity, all of sympathy and aid thar the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.” It has been more than a score of years since generous words of ene ccuragement have been given out by a candidate for President and Uns speech ix being enthusiastically re ceived by the eolored leaders all over the country, and their commendation ct the candidate who has evineed the courage to fo on record is unanimous.

While it has been phe rule among, colored people to look upon the Re publican party as their ehampion the position assumed by Senator Harding is a long way in advance of anything Matt has been said or done in years. Col. Franklin A, Denison, late of the Fighth Ilinpis Regiment, and present assistant attorney-general of that stact, commenting upon the at- titide of the Republican candidate for President, said: “Whatever the colored man gets in the way of recog nition or encouragement comes from, the Reyublican party, but Senator Harding has gone all previous aspir- ants to the Presidency one better by holding out a tangible solution of the duestions that are held as a sword of Damocles over his head.

You cannot spend your money and have it too. It is well to mean right and better to do right. Eating cheap food often ends in purchasing expensive caskets. A really good woman is a blessing to any man. Some people talk too much, and very few talk too little. Colored folks are dying fast and they are being buried the same way Well-breif people are never in search of a job of work. Telling the truth is all right, but living the truth is even better than telling the truth. Secret enemies are worse than open ones, but friends are better than secret ones. Single blessedness is "mighty good," but matrimonial happiness is much better. Saying one thing and doing another now applies to nations, where it once applied to individuals. There is more attention paid to whiskey now than there is to crime. Still both seem to be flourishing. Going to heaven is all right, but living upon earth is what particularly interests us at the present time. Reading a race journal and then dodging the payment of the subscription bill is neither right nor honest A quarreling man and wife are usually the heads of large families. The more children, the more they Cigarette. Some people will spend 12 cents in car-fare in order to save 5 cents in their purchases. The time lost is not counted. Some females will lose three hours from their work attending special sales in which they save 25 cents on their purchases. Read race journals and you will build up the means for the defense of the people with whom you are affiliated. Going up the road is more profitable and beneficial, than going down a hill although the latter is much easier. Women are divided among them. selves on the suffrage question and some men are in a quandary as to what stand they should take. Most of the "liquor soaks" that we know are endeavoring to secure jobs in the prohibition department of the government "to enforce the law." Usually when a man or woman is seeking a divorce, they have an eye on some other man or woman that they desire to marry. Children who are a help to their parents after they grow up these days are becoming as scarce as "hen teeth" and you know "hen teeth" are nighly scarce. Many people, "of all their mother's children, love themselves the best." This is an indirect way of saying that they are absolutely selfish. --- Some colored folks cannot be trusted behind a once-cent piece turned edge-ways and some whitie folks can not be trusted even under those conditions. --- Some people take no interest in racial movements until they themselves get in trouble then they want everybody to help them on account of their race. If the upper class of colored people were as loyal to each other as the lower and middle classes, the condition of the colored people in general would be much improved. ```markdown ``` Grumbling and quarrelling is sometimes a safety valve that relieves a nervous strain and sometimes prevents much fighting. Then on the other hand, it can be so applied as to lead to much fighting. When you speak to some people about going to their earthly home they will move as far away from you as though you spoke of their going to their heavenly abode. Governor James M. Cox pleased President Wilson but be displeased thousands of others who do not agree with the distinguished occupant of the White House. A person who earns over one hundred dollars per month is rarely able to support one good race journal, while a person who earns less than that amount will subscribe and pay for the same kind of publication. The trouble is that too many women want to wear men's breeches these days and it was intended that only men should wear them. Still there are some men, who seem to be willing to wear women's skirts and it is a known fact that only women should wear them. --- Attorney C. W. Brown of Elizabeth City, N. C., has at last succeeded in launching a banking enterprise under the name of the Albemarle Bank. Saturday, August 14, 1920 is the day set for the opening of the banking institution and evidences are accumulating that it will be a success from the start. The Bank and its officers have our best wishes. --- That the Democratic Presidential nominee gave assurances to the President of the United States as to his attitude on the League of Nations, before he was accorded support by the administration managers is now so plain that a blind man can see it. Governor Cox and President Wilson were as one before the adjournment of the Democratic National Convention just as they were as one after the White House Conference in Washington. The transfer of Right Rev. Charles Hannigan from Richmond to another field will remove from this community one of the best friends the colored people ever had to reside in their midst. It is, in our opinion in the naturo of a calamity in as much as he took a deep interest in all matters relating to the colored people in particular and to the city of Richmond in general. Much that he did was never known to the public. He was a tireless worker and his labors were gen THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA erally appreciated. The great Roman Catholic Church is blessed with many men of his type but none has shown a keeper interest in the welfare of the colored people of this community than he. He carries with him the love, respect and esteem of the colored people and he enjoys the admiration of the better class of white people who knew of his accomplishments and achievements so well. GOVERNOR COX'S ADDRESS. The address of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, accepting the presidential nomination at the hands of the Democratic National Convention is to say the least disappointing. The address as a whole does not rise to that plane of statesmanship, which is presumed to be the goal of a candidate of a great party. Governor Cox declares his attitude relative to the League of Nations, but he does not say unequivocally that he approves of this League without reservations. The logical inference is that he does stand "four square" upon the platform of the distinguished occupant of the White House. The intimation is though that he believes in adopting the provisions of the Versailles Treaty with the following modifying provision when he remarks: They hypocritically claim that the league of nations will result in our boys being drawn into military service, but they fail to realize that every high school youngster in the land knows that no treaty can over ride our constitution, which reserves to congress, and to congress alone the power to declare war. He might also have stated that we can be at war without the Congress having specifically declared war. He may also infer that the Congress under Article X would be morally bound to declare war and legally obligated so to do and then might decline to co-operate with other nations in carrying out the provisions of the League of Nations. Governor Cox is horrified at the idea of making a separate peace with Germany and yet it was President Wilson, who openly declared that the American people and incidentally the American Government had no disposition to make war on the German people, but only on the Kaiser and the Imperial German Government. Acting upon this suggestion, the German leaders were retired and the representatives of the German people installed in the offices once held by the imperial combine. Where then should there be any objection to formulating a peace with the German people, with whom our spokesman officially declared we were really not at war? We have scanned in vain for reference to the Negroes, whom we prefer to designate as citizens of color. Governor Cox had much to say but in the sea of words and waves of comment, the "brother in black" was for gotten. We fail to see any comparison that could be called favorable between the scholarly, statesmanlike production of the Ohtoan at Marlion, and the demagogic appeal of the politician at Dayton. Both are gentlemen of high character, but in the selection of the citizens of this great Buckeye State, most assuredly, the Republican National Convention made the wiser choice. --- THE WORLD WAR AND ITS SEQUEL The downfall of the Imperial Government of Germany did not end the troubles of the Allies. The master minds controlling the destiples of millions of people of the Old World decided to form a coalition of Governments, a union of the Great Powers with the smaller nations as mere satellites in order to control the destiples of the civilized world. In doing this, they sought the aid of the leader of affairs in the New World, the President of the United States. It had been that distinguished states man's ambition to be the moving spirit, in plain words to be the President of the League of Nations. In his anxiety to see the whole plan formulated and put in action, he failed to take into his confidence the United States Senate, which body had been made a co-ordinate power in the formulation of all treaties. In doing this, he over-reached himself and invited the bitterest opposition on the part of his political enemies and his personal foes. When it came to the ratification of the treaty, these elements, inside and outside of his own Party proceeded to accept the Versailles Treaty, embracing the League of Nations Covenant without accepting it. They proposed certain explanatory reservations which nullified, that is made not effective some of its main provisions. It had been ascertained that this World Tribunal had the power to enforce its decrees by the use of troops of the nations signatory to the agreement. It was con tended that under the Constitution of the United States, the Congress alone had the power to declare war and the use of troops of the United States in the manner prescribed in the Covenant would be an act of war and violative of the plain provisions of the Constitution. It was this fact that led to the memorable fight in the United States Senate under the leadership of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Senator Hiram Johnson of California led the fight against any League of Nations declaring that it was violative of President George Washington's solemn warning to "avoid entangling alliances" with the nations of the Old World. The Treaty of Versailles and the League Covenant were rejected by the United States Senate and President Wilson, in the midst of this humiliating experience decided to make an appeal to the American pope, resting his futuro and that of his diplomatic ideal up on their decision. In the moantime, the League of Nations was attempting to function with its leading promoter eliminated. The warring factions on the other side got busy at once and for the time being, it looked as though other troubles would come to Great Britain and France and Japan, but not to the United States of America. President Wilson's Fourteen Points, which were presumed to be the basis of the peace with Germany and so understood by the German people were "laughed out of Court," so to speak. Germany or rather the people of Germany had been led to be lieve that in order to escape the heavy punishment in store for that nation, they would only have to throw the Hohenzollern regime, institute the representatives of the plain people and "all would be forgiven." They "swallowed the bait, hook and sinker," awakening to the fact that even as the Imperial, German Government had regarded some of its most solemn obligations as being only "a scrap of paper," so the Allies had decided to do the same thing in order to bring about a sur-cease of their sorrows of war. Huge debts confronted France. She desired to unload them upon Germany. Germany could not pay her own debts and her allies, Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria were bankrupt before the war started. Then came Russia, the mighty Russia that had overthrown Czar Nicholas and his supporters and had embraced a form of Government known as the Bolshevik. This is presumed to be a Government by the plain people, by the working classes. In the meantime, the game of partitioning Russia and Turkey and Germany and Austro-Hungary had been prompted by Premier Henry Lloyd George. He was supported by Premier Millerand of France. Poland was set up as an independent State. The leaders were headstrong and they sought to extend the boundaries of their Republic by conquest. They labored under the impression that Russia under Lenine and Trotzsky was helpless from a military stand-point and with the tacit approval of the Allies, they launched a movement which had for its purpose, the acquisition of territory beyond the limits set by the Treaty of Versailles. They met with little opposition and the people of Warsaw became radiant and enthustastic over the reports of the successful battles. But the Russian bear was organizing and the disorganized fighting force was soon welded together into a mighty war machine that in turn proceeded to counter-attack in such large numbers that the Poles were staggered and thrown back. Clearing of Russian territory of the invaders met with but little protest from the Allies, but when Russia reached the Poland territory, then they proceeded to protect. Russia naturally wanted to know, what kind of a League of Nations could exist that said not one word of protest when the Poles were invading Russia, but voiced a howl, when Russia invaded Poland. This brings the situation down to the present time. Russia insists that peace must be made direct with Poland and not with Great Britain or with France. She claims too that she has no desire or intention of eliminating or destroying Poland. It seems though that her purposes is to play the same game with Poland that the Allies played with Russia. She will make peace with the people of Poland and not with the present Government. She will set up a Government patterned after the present Government of Russia and with this new Government she will form an alliance. By this method, she will make the present Poland one of the present States of Russia in everything but in name. Thus is being launched another campaign of deception. What can the Allies do about it? Great Britain cannot now engage in another war to subjugate Russia. Her people would not submit to it. France can not engage in another war/ Her people cannot submit to it. The war debt has assumed mammoth proportions and those Governments have already defaulted on interest payments. They can only gnash their teeth in rage. This is why they want the United States of America in the combine. Troops from America and money from the same source with which to pay the expense of the war to be waged would suit the ideas of these leaders exactly and relieve a strain that has reached already the breaking point. The issue is now being injected in to this presidential campaign, with Hon. James M. Cox declaring that he is in favor of "going in." and Hon. Warren G. Harding being in favor of staying out. President Wilson will not have peace with the people of Germany save upon the basis of his pact with the nations of the Old World. Senator Harding declares he will have peace as soon as he can convene the Congress after his inauguration as President, if he is successful enough to secure enough votes in the electoral college of the Nation. It is a subject that is engaging the attention of the ablest statesmen in the world today. Will there be peace if President Wilson's ideas prevail? This is the question. Senator Harding declares that there will not be for the situation in Russia and Poland indicates the beginning of another mighty war, not as terrible as the one just concluded, but as blighting in its effect and as injurious in its onward march as the one that has just closed which paralyzed civilization and staggered humanity.

ADVANCE IMPERILS PARLEY English Premier Stands by His Original Plan—Sees Advantage to Russia in a General Understanding With the Western Powers. Arthur Hooderson Asks Laborities to Demonstrate Against Poland—Believed ed British Action Will Be Merely Economic. London, Friday, Aug. 6.—The Russian soviet's reply to Great Britain's call for a halt of the bolshevik ad vance in Poland is a refusal, accord ing to the London Times. The newspaper says the ground taken is that the armies would not obey an order to halt and will only be content when they reach Warsaw, which has been promised to them for loot. LLOYD GEORGE EXPLAINS. London, Ang. 5.—A statement on the Russo-Polish situation, made in the house of commons today by Premier Lloyd George, showed that the report that Great Britain had sent an ultimatum to the soviet government in Moscow was unfounded. The statement showed also that the real situation at present is that the Brift government is still pressing the soviet government to conclude an armistice with Poland on fair terms and agree to negotiate for peace at the conference already proposed by the allies to be held in London. Mr. Lloyd George was closely pressed by questioners, with a view to obtaining assurance that Great Britain will not become invaded in war with Russia without the consent of parliament, but he could be drawn no further, than to promise a full statement of the situation Monday. He added the hope that it would not be necessary to act but said that the government certainly would take action if this were found to be necesary. PLAN FOR TROOPS DENIED. Meantime news had reached London to the effect that Poland's armistice delegation had started for Minsk to meet the soviet representatives and it may be assumed that the Poles now have the necessary powers to discuss the principles of peace, which the belsheviki demanded they should have. An official statement issued tonight declares there is no truth in the report printed in the newspapers that large quantities of war materials are being sent to Poland and that the war office would be able to send four divisions of troops there in the next few weeks. Arthur Henderson, the leader of the laborites in the house of commons is seeking to rally the labor party into organizing demonstrations against in servitions in Russia or supplying mun or mention to Poland the circular favors the immediate raising of the blockade against Russia and resumption of trade relations. MAY LIMIT ACTION. In view of the intense hostility of the labor party to military aid for Poland, it is believed the government will limit any needful action to economic pressure on Russia. Neither Leo Kameneff, president of the Moscow soviet, nor Leonid Krassin, the bolshevki minister of trade and commerce, saw Premier Lloyd George today. M. Krassin informed the government that there was no truth in the published reports that a secret agreement had reached between Russia and Germany. Leo Kameneff is reported to have sent a message to his government asking that Russia accept immediately the original British proposals for an arm'sice with Poland. M. Kameneff, it is said, sent his message after he and Leonid Krassin had a very plain talk with Premier Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law, government leader in the house of commons, last night. Among British officials and diplomats of other nations here undisguised anxiety is felt over the Russo Polish situation. One high official said: The situation is as grave as that in August, 1914.' In his statement in the house of commons today Premier Lloyd George said he and Mr. Bonar Law made it clear to Mr. Krassin and Kameneff that the immediate conclusion of an armistice on fair terms was the only course which would re move suspicion that the soviet government was not sincere in its professed desire for peace and in its declaration that it intended to respect the liberty and independence of Poland. Premier Lloyd George added that he and Mr. Bonar Law also made it clear that in view of the fact that ethnographical Poland had been in vaded, "we would take effective steps to remove obstacles in the way to transmission to Poland from Danzig A REVELATION 1 THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucinda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and saw dreams and visions; was commanded by God to write the wonders she saw into a book.

August.—That persons to the number of a score or more planned saving the state the trouble of trying three Negroes held in the county jail here, was admitted at the court house. Authorities were ignorant of the alleged plot at the time, but believing, that summary vengeance on one of the men was being planned, hastily left with him for another county, where officials declined to receive him, and from there went to Raleigh with the prisoner Joseph Franklin. The authorities, on the little evidence then in hand, believed the charge of attempted criminal assault exaggerated, and decided that trouble over the affair was out of the question. Their views were changed suddenly and Franklin was hurried away. Aldridge was to "be included" in the job to make it a good one, the officials have heard. Summary action in the case of James Jackson would have been folly, it is said. Officers contend that there is not least certain that he is the righn man. Jackson carries a silver plate in his head this has slipped out of place and he is said to be suffering serious effects from it. --- PEOPLELES COOPERATIVE LEAGUE HOLD SESSION IN NASHVILLE (American Negro Press.) Nashville, Tennessee, August.—More than 1,000 delegates, representing every county in the state of Tennessee were in attendance at the first annual meeting of the People's Cooperative League held in the chapel of the A. and I. State Normal. Dr. W. S. Ellington, divisional chairman of the League for middle Tennessee, presided and introduced Mayor William Gupton and Dr. J. A. Jones, who delivered welcome addresses on behalf of the city of Nashville, and the local inter-racial committee, respectively. Following the introduction of President W. J. Hale, who is chair man of the league, responses to the welcome address were delivered by W. L. Porter, editor of the East Tennessee News of Knoxville, and Rev. N. D. Shambourgeo of Chattanooga. Other speakers who delivered addresses at the morning session were: Prof. S. L. Smith Superintendent of rural schools of Tennessee; Pof. Charles A. Kiofer of the University of Tennessee and Prof. Barnard. The afternoon session was devoted to the reading of reports by the home demonstration agents, the Jonas fund workers and the agents in charge of the Rosenwald schools fund. Prof. J. H. Dean district agent of the division of extension presided at this session and the reports coming from the district workers told of the progress in establishing educational institutions, throughout the state. The annual address of President W. J. Hale, as chairman of the league was delivered at the evening session. "Tennessee is settting a precedent that all states will surely follow if they are desirous of taking a place among the progressive states. More has been done right in our own state toward bringing about an amicable solution of the race problem, and this can be attributed to the activities of the departments of health, education, extension department of the University of Tennessee and the federal government than any other." Other addresses were delivered by Dr. Olin West, who spoke on the subject of better health, and Hon. Albert S. Williams, superintendent of education for the state, Robert E. Clay of Bristol, executive secretary of the league, presided. The folklore songs rendered under the direction of Mrs. H. M. Brown received long and loud applause. At the morning session secretary Clay delivered his annual report, showing that local organizations had been perfected in 55 counties. He referred to the cordial reception accorded the plaus and ideas of the league by members of both races and the cordial cooperation received from the white leaders in each county. --- A STRONGER UNION ORGANIZA TION FOR ATLANTA.

WILL NOT PERMIT REPUBLICAN CONCLAVE AT CAPITOL (American Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. —Representative Anderson of Jenkins County, took in person to Governor Dorsey a joint resolution which had been passed by the Senate and the house directing the keeper of public buildings and grounds not to permit the use of the senate chamber or the hall of the house* of representatives by any political party in Georgia without the consent in writing of the members of the senate and house committees on public properties.

Mr. Anderson put through his resolution for the purpose of preventing any black and tan political conventions from being held in the state capitol in the future.

More than twenty years of continual protest on the part of the American Negroes, through the leaders, organizations and newspapers of the group has at last found apostleship within the circles of power. Lynching was born, nourished and cherished in the South. The heilish power of its virile germs has been carried "with malice aforethought" into the remotest corners of the nation by the carefully "discriminating" news wires of the Associated Press and the painstaking propaganda of its writers. The benign disease has demonstrated, beyond contradiction, its ability to thrive and flourish everywhere—yes, every where. It has blazed its way with sinister and jocular indifference through the "color line," through youth and age, through men and women of honor and innocence, through the sacred tissues of expectant mothers, and through the peaceful quiet of the country side, as well as the busy, bustling centers of the great city. To the low moan of the praying Negroes, their outstretched hands of righteous appeal, the soft but steady and mighty tread of the migrating tens of thousands to climes of protection and safety, have recently been added the roaring voice of the daily newspapers, North, South, East and West; the wails of anxiety of the white clergy and political leaders, and the unyielding bullets of equal and exact justice, under the general direction of the great commonwealth of North Carolina and its fearless Governor T. W. Bickett. With such a combination of effort, lynch-law has reached its crest. IT MUST GO! The most powerful instrumentality in the world is public sentiment. In the face of it, empires and kingdoms have crumbled to earth; human slavery has been abolished; bolshevism has marched westward with terrible potentialities, and with it, lynching must go. Without public sentiment definitely crystallized against lynching, there has been but meagre possibility of success in throttling the onrush of these barbaric performances. Now that recent events have sickened the most pessistic unlooker, the hour for action has come, and with unfinishing unity of purpose, something worth while will happen for all time to come. It is very plain that our power in the premises, is unlimited. We now, today, must use every ounce of our ability and strength to back up the forces now in action. We must rise to the opportunity and let there be nothing regarded as more important at this hour than settling this damnable business forever. There must be no dimching—and there will not—and there must be no equivocation. The blood of the innocent dead cries out for action; and unborn generations hold us to account. Certain proposals are made. They all look forward to a final settlement of the terrible evil. Some say let the state be supreme, others say, let the nation. We say: Lynching must be stopped now. The respect for law must be supreme. If the state is not equal to the occasion, the nation must be. LYNCHING—THE NATION'S PET CRIME—MUST BE WIPED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH. It has cut the heart strings of humanity and startlingly rocked the foundations of American civilization. TUSKEGEE WELL REPRESENTED AT ARMY OFFICERS SCHOOL. (American Negro Press.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug.—Tuskegee Institute was represented at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp which was held at Camp Custer, Michigan.

Sir Hamar Greenwood Defends Measure and Says Its Aim Is to Give Justice. London, Aug. 8—T. P. O'Connor, president of the United Irish League the Irish coercion law passed by the house of commons last week, in a house of commons last week, in a statement to the Associated Press last night. The law, he said, was the "worst coercion act ever proposed in the British parliament and indeed without a precedent in the preliminary acts of any country in the history of the modern world. "It gives the executive in Ireland, he continued, "a power as great as any czar ever claimed. It surrounds the exercise of this power with im penetrable secrecy. A man may be tried for his life in secret, convicted in secret, sentenced in secret and hanged in secret." CONVEYS BROAD POWERS; It givs to the government the right to make anything an offense. The refusal to work, to carry munitions to hold a meeting, to sing a song, to refuse to supply the police with food—everything is left to the will of the executive. The government refused to accept an amendment presented by liberals and even by its own supporters. This would have inserted provision which would prevent the creation of new offenses. The government replied that it wanted carte blanche and that anything could be made an offense in Ireland. Finally, the government refused every amendment to define the duration of the act—it is forever and ever. ASSAILS LLOYD GEORGE "Mark the contrast. On Thursday night Premier Lloyd George postponed real Irish liberty to an inden finite date; on Friday he gave Ireland coercion for all time. This is a policy which is coupled with vaccination and divided councils. The rebel movement led by Sir Edward Carson and the groveling servitude of the premier to the Ulster leader are mainly responsible for the chaos and arachy which prevails in Ireland to day." Sir Humar Greenwood chief secretary for Ireland, defended the law. "The sole object of the legislation is to give that disturbed country impartially enforced laws" he said: "The courts may be described as courts martial with legal assessors. Establishment of an independent Irish republic would be fatal to the security of the empire and. I believe fatal to Ireland. REMARKABLE RECORD OF JOHN W. WIDGEON, SCIENTIST. (Associated Negro Press.) Baltimore, Md., Aug—John W. Widgeon, the custodian of the Maryland Academy on Science and authority on the flora and fauna of Maryland, 70 years of age, has had a remarkable career. He was born in Norwichham County, Va., July 25, 1850. He attended a Freemason's Bureau School in Acomac County, Va., from 1865 until he came to Baltimore on January 1, 1870. He worked as waiting for a while and then went to work for Kuhn and Cummings, who conducted a photograph gallery on Charles Street. There he learned something about the art of photography which has been an aid to him on scientific investigating expeditions. He left to become junior of the Maryland Academy of Sciences in 1875. He studied various sciences and it became very apparent to his employers that he was a valuable man. He was sent on expeditions and gathered specimens about the state. He captured a whale in the Chesapeake Bay and dissected it. When the Academy closed down about 40 years ago John Hopkins University got many of its geological specimens. The late Dr. William Bullock Clark for many years head of the geological department of Johns Hopkins University and others interested scientific pursuits, had every confidence in Mr. Widgeoef's knowledge and frequently consulted him. After the Academy ceased functioning he went with Sharp and Dohme manufacturing chemists, where he remained for 15 years. He picked up a working knowledge of chemistry while there. When the Academy resumed operations he came back as custodian. Following the death of Dr. Philip R. Uhler he served as acting curator for several years.
