National Equal Rights League Urges Stand Against Color Line. The National Equal Rights League in an open letter to leaders of the suf frage movement, congratulates them in their victorious fight for equal suf frage. The letter addressed to Mrs. Carrie C. Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association; Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman Suffrage Party and Miss Alice Stone Blackwell reads: Ladies—The National Equal Rights League, organized to promote equality of rights without exception for race, congratulates the National American Woman Association and National Womans' Party to which some of us belong, on their remarkable achievement in gaining equal rights without exception for sex. THE FOUR COINCIDENCES. At this, your hour of victory, we would call to your thought the following striking coincidences: The most notable male crusaders for the abolition of slavery and the bestowal of full rights of citizenship upon Americans of color were also the chief advocates of woman suffrage. The first American woman suffrage convention grew out of a world's anti-slavery convention, where the wife of an American abolitionist was denied a vote and Lucretia Mott began the organized movement now crowned with glorious success. The women pioneers of the suffrage movement, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Blitz abeth Cady Stanton, Julia Ward Howe and Susan B. Anthony, in whose honor the 19th amendment is named and who wrote it on the model of the 15th amendment which gave suffrage to Colored men were devoted champions of freedom and equality of rights without distinctin because of race or color. Lastly in the dark days when your champions were few and the cause weak and unpopular the gifted orators of the Colored race came to its rescue with their genius, and Frederick Doughlass was a friend prized by Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony till his death. CAUSES LINKED BY PIONEERS. Such a looking of the cause of justice, equality and rights for the Colored people of this country with that of woman suffrage in its struggle, in spires us to appeal to your organization to stand firm and strong against any color line in the posses now of the suffrage won. KEEP THE STAIN OFF In the presence of the crime of disfranchisement of Colored men in behalf of the millions of Colored women new enfranchised, this league calls upon you to remain true to the traditions of your cause, to the memory of your pioneers to friends in time of need, to principle pure and undefiled, exerting your full power that your Colored sisters may not be denied and the new political freedom stained by race discrimination.

With the return of the season when an in cause in the incidence of diphtheria naturally may be expected, State Health Commissioner Emilion G.

Detective William Kenney of the Rockaway Beach precinct was seated on the sand under the Board-walk at the foot of Beach Twentieth street, Rockaway Beach, last Wednesday night about 10 o'clock and by his side was a charming young woman, They had been there only a few moments when a man walked up to them tapped Kenney on the shoulder or said: "What's the idea, spooning on the beach like this? Kenney serumbled to his feet and the man turned a flashlight on him. "I'm a detective," said the man, sternly, "and you're violating the law. You get away from here quick. I'll take care of the young lady." Detective Kenny backed away from the man and hid behind a pillar of the Boarwalk. The man who had accosted him then turned to Kenney's companion who by this time was standing. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll take care of you." Thanks, said the young woman, "I can take care of myself." The "detective" did not notice the young lady was quite muscular. He primed and stopped toward her and she smashed him in the jaw and knocked him down. He tried to get up and she knocked him down again and then Detective Kenney came from behind the pillar and handcuffed him. After that he was taken to the police station and searched. The police say he had in his pocket a load revolver. He gave his name as Arthur Jaycox of 510 Central avenue, Far Rockaway. Young Jaycox was arraigned in the Jamaica police court yesterday, when it developed that the "young lady" who had knocked him down and given him a black eye was Detective George Raeburn, affirmed in some of his sister's clothes. Kenney and Raeburn had gone to the beach after the police had received numerous complaints that couples sitting on the sand had been interrupted by a man who had said he was a detective and who always chased the men away and then tried to make love to the young women. Magistrate Miller held Jaycox for further examination today in the Pee Rockaway court on a short allotment charing him with a baiting attacked Miss May Goodwin of 284 Twooxtail street, Brooklyn where he had frightened away her cunt by displaying a revolve.

C.—A commission of five members, to be appointed either by the general assembly or by the governor, to study necessary legislation for the Negroes of the state and present the matter intelligently before the 1921 legislature has been promised by Governor Bickett in a special message to the general assembly. The write man's obligation, "to protect the Negro in his life and property and to help and encourage him in the pursuit of happiness" demands, Governor Bickett pointed out, the establishment of a reformatory for Negro boys, the establishment of a Negro tubercular hospital, the establishment of a Negro training school and the amendment of transportation laws that will secure to the Negro race safer and more sanitary accommodations when he rides on the trains. Governor Bickett has no idea of recommending the abandonment of Jim Crow regulations. "It is absolutely necessary to the peace and happiness of both races for whites and blacks to ride in separate cars," he maintains, but when the Negro pays the same fare as the white man, Governor Bickett thinks he is entitled to ride in a car equally as safe and equally as sanitary. --- THE POLITICAL SESSION OF THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA INC The Fifth Annual Session of the National Race Congress of America, Inc., will convene at the John Wesley A.

MACSWINEY'S LIFE HANGS ON PLEDGE OF SINN FEIN Lloyd George Does Not Require Personal Guarantee for Lord Mayor's Release. London, September 8—An inspired statement is not today indicated that Premier Lloyd George is willing to need guarantees from Sinn Féin headmistresses that police murders will cease, and that he does not require a personal guarantee from Lord Mayor MacSwainy. If such guarantee is forthcoming, it is set forth in the statement. Mrs Swainy and the hunter strikers in Cork jail would be released and held as virtual hostages, and if the murders were assumed they would again be sent to jail, thus in effect, revert but to what was called the "cat and mouse" policy adopted in the case of the suffragette hunger strikers. It is an interesting question whether the Sinn Feiners are prepared to give such an assurance as to satisfy this requirement. Up to the present they have insisted upon uncondition at release.

Kenney scrambled to his feet and the man turned a flashlight on him. "I'm a detective," said the man, sternly, "and you're violating the law. You get away from here quick. I'll take care of the young lady." Detective Kenly backed away from the man and hid behind a pillar of the Boardwalk. The man who had accosted him then turned to Kenney's companion who by this time was standing. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll take care of you." Thanks, said the young woman, "I can take care of myself." The "detective" did not notice the young lady was quite muscular. He pinned and stopped toward her and she smashed him in the jaw and knocked him down. He tried to get up and she knocked him down again and then Detective Kenney came from behind the pillar and handeuffed him. After that he was taken to the police station and searched. The police say he had in his pocket a load revolver. He gave his name as Arthur Jaycox of 510 Central avenue, Far Rockaway. Young Jaycox was arraigned in the Jamaica police court yesterday, when it developed that the "young lady" who had knocked him down and given him a black eye was Detective George Raeburn, attired in some of his sister's clothes. Kenney and Raeburn had gone to the beach after the police had received numerous complaints that couples sitting on the sand had been interrupted by a man who had said he was a detective and who always chased the men away and then tried to make love to the young women. Magistrate Miller held Jaycox for further examination in the Fear Rockaway court on a short aidfavt charging him with being attacked Miss May Goodwin of 251 Northwood first street. Brooklyn after he had frightened away her escort by displaying a revolver. (N. Y. Harold) Mrs. Ida E.

C. —A commission of five members, to be appointed either by the general assembly or by the governor, to study necessary legislation for the Negroes of the state and present the matter intelligently before the 1921 legislature has been promised by Governor Blicket in a special message to the general assembly. The write man's obligation, "to protect the Negro in his life and property and to help and encourage him in the pursuit of happiness" demands, Governor Blickett pointed out, the establishment of a reformatory for Negro boys, the establishment of a Negro tubercular hospital, the establishment of a Negro school and the establishment of transportation that will secure to the Negro race safer and more sanitary accommodations when he rides on the trains. Governor Blickett has no idea of recommending the abandonment of Jim Crow regulations. "It is absolutely necessary to the peace and happiness of both races for whites and blacks to ride in separate cars," he maintains, but when the Negro pays the same care for the white man, Governor Blickett thinks he is entitled to ride in a car equally as safe and equally sanitary.

London, September 5—An inspired statement issued today indicated that Premier Lloyd George is willing to accept guarantees from Sun Foh headquarters that police murders will cease, and that he does not require a personal guarantee from Lord Mayor Mac Swiney. If such guarantee is forthcoming, it is set forth in the statement, Mac Swiney and the hunger strikers in Cork Jail would be released and held as virtual hostages, and if the murders were resumed they would again be sent to jail, thus in effect, reverting to what was called the "cat and mouse" policy adopted in the case of the suffragette hunger strikers. It is an interesting question whether the Sun Feiners are prepared to give such an assurance as to satisfy this requirement. Up to the present they have insisted upon uncondition al release.

The Eighth Annual session of the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society was held in Philadelphia, Pa., last week, on Monday the 6th a large delegation from Richmond and vicinity headed by Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master left the city in a special car over the R. P. & P. Rond for Philadelphia, Pa., where was held the greatest convention in the history of the Order. The reports showed that the Order in eight years had bought and paid for its own home office. Lost by death 259 members and paid in Death Caima $21,121.00 and all other expenses. The worth of the Order is more than $23,000.00. The society is growing rapidly and is doing much to benefit the people in many ways. The Supreme Lodge adopted the Supreme Masters suggestion to remodel the Ideal Hall, and the members of Philadelphia placed in his hand $100, 00 to start a fund for that purpose.

Certainly one of the wonders is the announcement from Georgia that Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the "stormy petrol" of Georgia politics led all of his competitors in the primary held in that rock-ribbed Democratic State Wednesday, September 8th, 1920. He has been an uncompromising opponent of President Wilson's League of Nations and a bitter opponent of that distinguished statisman's policies. He and his supporters combined with those of Senator Hoke Smith and sent an anti-Wilson delegation to the National Democratic Convention at San Francisco, but they were unsecured. This primary is the reply of the people of Georgia to this kind of treatment. It is evident that Senator Hoke Smith regards with satisfaction if not with biflation the result of the contest. The position he has taken is practically upheld by the remarkable statesman, who will be the Democratic senatorial representative from that State. They have proven conclusively that the policy of self determination was not recognized by the great Democratic organization at San Francisco, when it permitted the minority members of the Democratic Party of Georgia to usurp and occupy the seats to which the supporters of Senator Hoke Smith and Hon. Thomas E. Watson were entitled. What will be the effect upon the presidential election of this remarkable condition of affairs in Georgia? Will the followers of Senator Hoke Smith and Hon. Thomas E. Watson feel appeased and will they vote the straight Democratic ticket without scratching the presidential end of it, for which President Wilson stands sponsor? It is apparent to any observer that the gentlemen named at San Francisco are not of presidential size and they are not conducting them serves in a manner to win the support of the large body of conservative independent voters that decide elect- temporary: Our one clear path is this: What ever vote we cast for congressmen, let our vote for Congressmen be clear and decisive: vote for friends of our race and defeat our enemies. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the brilliant and influential editor of the New York Crisis, in its September issue says: The April Crisis said: Only yesterday in Tennessee, where a real Republican movement with high aims and efficient leadership has been led in the western part of the state by R. R. Church, a Republican convention composed only of white men calmly ousted every black Republican. And it stands every chance of being given recognition by the National Republican Committee, which refused to seat Perry Howard of Mississippi who was legally elected and in the face of right and justice, put a white man in his place. So that the Republican party has practically said to the South, no decent colored man need apply and we will recognize anything, decent or indecent, among white politicians. In confirmation of this the Republican National Convention took up contests in 11 Southern States where the issue was clearly drawn between Negroes and "Lily-Whites." Three of these were decided in favor of the Negroes and eight in favor of the whites. In the "Tennessee case R. R. Church writes us as follows: In reference to my contest, the National Committee, as you will see from the enclosed copy of the minutes relative to the 10th Tennessee district contest, was of an unanimous opinion that I was entitled to at least one half of the vote of my district. On an amendment to that motion the decision was twenty-six to twenty-three that I was entitled to a full vote. When the Committee on Credentials met, my contest was called at 5:45 in the morning. Each side was allowed five minutes to present their side of the controversy and to my surprise, instead of discussing the irregularity of my election, the lawyer for the contestant only discussed the harmful effect of the election of a colored man to represent this district in the Republican National Convention. His argument was backed up by a woman by the name of Mrs. Eddie McCall Priest of Huntington, Tennessee, who does not live in his congressional district, and said with her, tour other white women said to be from Tennessee. The vote on unseating me and my contestant, C. B. Quinn was twenty-three to eighteen. R. R. CHURCH. "The Republican Party is the Ship—an else is the sea," said Frederick Douglass. Well, for God's sake, give us the Sea! This brilliant man of letters makes cut a strong case and with prejudices, one way or the other rampant and with passion in control, he would "win with hands down." But there are other phases to the situation and other questions pending in the face of this rankest piece of injustice ever perpetrated upon a long suffering race of people. He seems to overlook the fact that Hon. Robert R. Church and his associates have another chance. With them sulking in their tents and leaving the party, they have no other chance. He overlooks the fact too that the treatment of Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and Hon. Thomas E. Watson of the same State by the Democratic national convention at San Francisco at the behest of the National Democratic machine was every where as outrageous as the inamy perpetrated upon the distinguished leader of the Republican Party in Tennessee. In the one case partisanship figured; in the other case race prejudice was in evidence. Mr. Church had been sustained by the vote of the National Republican Committee and almost sustained by the Committee on Credentials of the National Republican Committee itself. But is it good politics to end one's political life for such a reason as this when it is known of all men that these white men, occupied seats rightfully belong to colored men and that they appropriated the "stolen goods," and wore them without shame before the walking throngs at Chicago? Dr. Du Bois virtually advises Hon. R. R. Church to leap into the sea. He admits thereby that his own Party (Socialist) affords no refuge. He takes this position too with Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson on the National Republican Committee and in charge of the work among colored people. He takes this position with Senator Warren G. Harding a statesman of renote and the newly chosen leader of the Republican Party who has but recently entered upon his duties, accruing the If the question is to be brought down to the personality of the candidates for congressional honors, why should it not be brought down to the personality of the candidates for presidential honor? Both Senator Warren G. Harding and Governor C. D. Coolidge have spoken plainly with reference to questions concerning the colored people and their welfare, while Governor James M. Ox and Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidates of the Democratic Party have been ominously silent. With a slight change in the language we iterate and reiterate the language of our con- ions. With Hon. Thomas E. Watson in the United States Senate from Democratic Georgia, the day of political revolution is certainly at hand. POLITICAL INDICATIONS Two striking events indicating the trend of public sentiment in both of the great political parties relative to the Wilson League of Nations as adopted at Versailles, France have recently transpired. Senator Moses of New Hampshire, who was a candidate for renomination at the hands of his Party, despite the fact that he had uncompromisingly opposed the League has been endorsed in such a positive manner as to leave no room for doubt as to the attitude of the Republican electorate of that State. On the other hand, ex-Congressman Thomas E. Watson, who had previously formed a combination with Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and with him was a candidate for the senatorial nomination has won out in the Democratic primaries/ of that State. If "straws show which way the wind blows," this is an indication that we are on the eve of a veritable landslide when this great question is presented to the people of this country at the polls in November. "HOW SHALL WE VOTE?" The New York Crisis, whose editor, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is a Socialist and whose policies are supposed to be non-partisan says: The present campaign places the Negro voter, and indeed all American voters—in a difficult position. Four parties ask our votes The Republican party has for 25 years joined the white South in disfranchising us; it has permitted us to be "Jim-Crowed," deprived of schools and segregated. It has partially disfranchised us in its party councils and proposes practically to eliminate us as soon as this campaign is over. It has encouraged and recognized the "Lily-White" factions and nearly driven us from public office. In addition to this the Republicans represent reaction and privilege, the abolition of freedom of speech, the punishment of thinkers, the suppression of the labor movement, the encouragement and protection of trusts, and a new protective tariff to tax the poor for the benefit of the rich. This is a drastic indictment of a great political organization. It pays its respects to the Democratic Party in a similar manner, here is what it says: The Democratic party stands for exactly the same things as the Republicans. Between their professed and their actual policies there is no difference worth noting. To be sure, the northern wing of the party has tendencies toward some recognition of the laborers' demands and the needs of a striken war-cursed world, but this is more than neutralized by the Solid South. The Solid South means lynching, oligarchy, mob-rule, disfranchisement systematic ignorance and rotten-borough voting. Against this body of death the highest ideals of Woodrow Wilson at his best availed absolutely nothing, and there is not today the shadow of a hope that Governor Cox of Ohio would be able to champion any policy as president that proposes to disturb the rule in the South of the conscienceless exploiter of black and white labor. This is the position of the two chief parties, one of which is bound to win. There are some charges against the Republican Party, which we are of the opinion the distinguished "man of letters" will be unable to substantiate or prove. Certainly the action of the New York legislature was revolutionary and unjust in dealing with the five Socialist members that it, in combination with their Democratic associates barred from the seats to which they had been rightfully and legally elected. On the other hand Republicans of the Judge Charles Evans Hughes' type openly voiced their protests. Editor Du Bois concluded as follows: There are two other parties, the Farmer-Labor and the Socialist. Both these parties speak out bravely in our behalf. Neither of them can win and because of our defenseless position the triumph of one of the greater parties without our aid might be the signal for further aggressions upon the rights as citizens. Our one clear path is this: What ever vote we cast for President, let our vote for Congressmen be clear and decisive; vote for friends of our race and defeat our enemies. If the question is to be brought down to the personality of the candidates for congressional honors, why should it not be brought down to the personality of the candidates for presidential honor? Both Senator Warren G. Harding and Governor C. D. Coolidge have spoken plainly with reference to questions concerning the colored people and their welfare, THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA --- "THE SHIP AND THE SEA" R. R. CHURCH to us as though at no time during our country's history have the words of Frederick Douglas been more prophetic and we repeat them even as Editor Du Bois has done: The Republican Party is the ship--all else is the Sea. Well, for God's sake, give us the Ship! BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone, Va., Sept. 14.—Twenty-three candidates were baptized at Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday morning and another that night, making a total addition to the membership of twenty-four. Before baptizing them Rev. Ashburn, the pastor, instructed them as to their duties as Christians. A large gathering was present to witness the washing away of their sins of those who had decided to throw aside satan and his deedy poison, and to give the remainder of their days to the Master. At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon at Shiloh, Mr. Walter L. Tucker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tucker delivered a rall sermon before a very appreciative audience. The church was nearly filled, thus showing the interest taken in this youth. Mr. Tucker after explaining his visions, and reading some of the passages of the scripture which the Lord had direct ed him to, chose for his subject: "Here I am," which is a portion of the 8th verse of the 3rd chapter of 1st Samuel. Everyone who heard this sermon was delighted at the splendid start and accord the young man is putting forth to preach the gospel of the gospel of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is only a youth about nine teen years old and he expects to enter Va. Theological Seminary and College this Fall to prepare himself for life's work, which the Lord has managed him to do. For this purpose the amount of $50.00 was taken up after his sermon as a free will offering from those present, more o the veined men and some of the older men and ladies gave $1.00 some as high as $2.50. Besides this the Shiloh Sunday School has voted unanimously to denote to Mr. Tucker one month's tuition and board. This all goes to show broad-heartedness of the pastor of Shiloh who has at all times done what he could for the uplift of the people of the community and the race in general, the deacons and the church and community as a whole. While Mr. Tucker is a member of this Sunday School, he is not a member of this church, and it is expected that his church, Spring Hill, will do even more for him than has this church. Besides the above amount, Mr. Tucker has received several donations on the streets from friends who did not do this at the church Sunday. Miss Artelia L. Gilliam of New York has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Giles Gilliam, Sr., left here Saturday afternoon to return to her post of duty. Miss Lillian is a graduate nurse, holding diplomas from two N. Y. Institutions. She has for some time been head nurse in one of the public schools of that city and was scheduled to return to that position on Monday, the 13th. The many friends of Miss Gilliam here are indeed proud of the success with which she has met since leaving here. Prior to going to New York to take up nursing she was a teacher in the pub schools of this county, having graduated from Hartshorn College, Richmond, a few years ago.

Certainly one of the wonders is the announcement from Georgia that Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the "stormy pavel" of Georgia politics led all of his competitors in the primary held in that rock-ribbed Democratic State Wednesday, September 8th, 1920. He has been an uncompromising opponent of President Wilson's League of Nations and a bitter opponent of that distinguished statesman's policies. He and his supporters combined with those of Senator Hoke Smith and sent an anti-Wilson delegation to the National Democratic Convention at San Francisco, but they were unsecured. This primary is the reply of the people of Georgia 40 this kind of treatment. It is evident that Senator Hoke Smith Regards with satisfaction if not with jubilation the result of the contest. The position he has taken is practically upheld by the remarkable statesman, who will be the Democratic senatorial representative from that State. They have proven conclusively that the policy of self determination was not recognized by the great Democratic organization at San Francisco, when it permitted the minority members of the Democratic Party of Georgia to usurp and occupy the seats to which the supporters of Senator Hoke Smith and Hon. Thomas E. Watson were entitled. What will be the effect upon the presidential election of this remarkable condition of affairs in Georgia? Will the followers of Senator Hoke Smith and Hon. Thomas E. Watson feel appeased and will they vote the straight Democratic ticket without scratching the presidential end of it, for which President Wilson stands sponsor? It is apparent to any observer that the gentlemen named at San Francisco are not of presidential size and they are not conducting their activities in a manner to win the support of the large body of conservative independent voters that decide elect- while Governor James M. Ox and Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt, canidates of the Democratic Party have been ominously silent. With a slight change in the language we iterate should our distinguished editorial and reiterate the language of our com contemporary choose the sea? It looks ions. With Hon. Thomas E. Watson in the United States Senate from Democratic Georgia, the day of political revolution is certainly at hand. POLITICAL INDICATIONS Two striking events indicating the trend of public sentiment in both of the great political parties relative to the Wilson League of Nations as adopted at Versailles, France have recently transpired. Senator Moses of New Hampshire, who was a candidate for renomination at the hands of his Party, despite the fact that he had uncompromisingly opposed the League has been endorsed in such a positive manner as to leave no room for doubt as to the attitude of the Republican electorate of that State. On the other hand, ex-Congressman Thomas E. Watson, who had previously formed a combination with Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and with him was a candidate for the senatorial nomination has won out in the Democratic primaries of that State. If "straws show which way the wind blows," this is an indication that we are on the eve of a veritable hand slide when this great question is presented to the people of this country at the polls in November. HOW SHALL WE VOTE? The New York Crisis, whose editor, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is a Socialist and whose policies are supposed to be non-partisan says: The present campaign places the Negro voter, and indeed all American voters—in a difficult position. Four parties ask our votes. The Republican party has for 25 years joined the white South in disfranchising us; it has permitted us to be "Jim-Crowed," deprived of schools and segregated. It has partially disfranchised us in its party councils and proposes practically to eliminate us as soon as this campaign is over. It has encouraged and recognized the "Lily-White" factions and nearly driven us from public office. In addition to this the Republicans represent reaction and privilege, the abolition of freedom of speech, the punishment of thinkers, the suppression of the labor movement, the encouragement and protection of trusts, and a new protective tariff to tax the poor for the benefit of the rich. This is a drastic indictment of a great political organization. It pays its respects to the Democratic Party in a similar manner. Here is what it says: The Democratic party stands for exactly the same things as the republicans. Between their professed and their actual policies there is no difference worth noting. To be sure, the northern wing of the party has tendencies toward some recognition of the laborers' demands and the needs of a striken war-cursed world, but this is more than neutralized by the Solid South. The Solid South means lynching, oligarchy, mob-rule, disfranchisement systematic ignorance and rotten-borough voting. Against this body of death the highest ideals of Woodrow Wilson at his best availed absolutely nothing, and there is not today the shadow of a hope that Governor Cox of Ohio would be able to champion any policy as president that proposes to disturb the rule in the South of the conscienceless exploiter of black and white labor. This is the position of the two chief parties, one of which is bound to win. There are some charges against the Republican Party, which we are of the opinion the distinguished "man of letters" will be unable to substantiate or prove. Certainly the action of the New York legislature was revolutionary and unjust in dealing with the five Socialist members that it, in combination with their Democratic associates barred from the seats to which they had been rightfully and legally elected. On the other hand Republicans of the Judge Charles Evans Hughes' type openly voiced their protests. Editor Du Bois concluded as follows: There are two other parties, the Farmer-Labor and the Socialist. Both these parties speak out bravely in our behalf. Neither of them can win and because of our defenseless position the triumph of one of the greater parties without our aid might be the signal for further aggressions upon the rights as citizens. Our one clear path is this: What ever vote we cast for President, let our vote for Congressmen be clear and decisive; vote for friends of our race and defeat our enemies. If the question is to be brought down to the personality of the candidates for congressional honors, why should it not be brought down to the personality of the candidates for presidential honor? Both Senator Warren G. Harding and Governor C. D. Coolidge have spoken plainly with reference to questions concerning the colored people and their welfare. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Our one clear path is this: What ever vote we cast for congressmen, let our vote for Congressmen be clear and decisive: vote for friends of our race and defeat our enemies. "THE SHIP AND THE SEA" Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the brilliant and influential editor of the New York Crisis, in its September issue says: April crisis said: Only yesterday. In Tennessee, where a real Republican movement with high aims and efficient leadership has been led in the western part of the state by R. R. Church, a Republican convention composed only of white men calmly ousted every black Republican. And R stands every chance of being given recognition by the National Republican Committee, which refused to seat Perry Howard of Mississippi who was legally elected and in the face of right and justice, put a white man in his place. So that the Republican party has practically said to the South, no decent colored man need apply and we will recognize anything, decent or indecent, among white politicians. In confirmation of this the Republican National Convention took up contests in 11 Southern States where the issue was clearly drawn between Negroes and "Lily-Whites." Three of these were decided in favor of the Negroes and eight in favor of the whites. In the Tennessee case R. R. Church writes us as follows: In reference to my contest, the National Committee, as you will see from the enclosed copy of the minutes relative to the 10th Tennessee district contest, was of an unanimous opinion that I was entitled to at least one half of the vote of my district. On an amendment to that motion the decision was twenty-six to twenty-three that I was entitled to a full vote. When the Committee on Credentials met, my contest was called at 5:45 in the morning. Each side was allowed five minutes to present their side, or the controversy and to my surprise, instead of discussing the irregularity of my election, the lawyer for the contest only discussed the harmful effect of the election of a colored man to represent this district in the Republican National Convention. His argument was backed up by a woman by the name of Mrs. Eddie McCall Priest of Huntington, Tennessee, who does not live in his congressional district, and with her, tour other white women said to be from Tennessee. The vote on unseating me and my contestant, C. B. Quinn was twenty-three to eighteen. R. R. CHURCH "The Republican Party is the Ship —an else is the sea," said Frederick Douglass, Well, for God's sake, give us the Sea! This brilliant man of letters makes cut a strong case and with prejudices, one way or the other rampant and with passion in control, he would "win with hands down." But there are other phases to the situation and other questions pending in the face of this rankest piece of injustice ever perpetrated upon a long suffering race of people. He seems to overlook the fact that Hon. Robert R. Church and his associates have another chance. With them sulking in their tents and leaving the party, they have no other chance. He overlooks the fact too that the treatment of Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and Hon. Thomas E. Watson of the same State by the Democratic national convention at San Francisco at the behest of the National Democratic machine was every where as outrageous as the infamy perpetrated upon the distinguished leader of the Republican Party in Tennessee. In the one case partisanship figured; in the other case race prejudice was in evidence. Mr. Church had been sustained by the vote of the National Republican Committee and almost sustained by the Committee on Credentials of the National Republican Committee itself. But is it good politics to end one's political life for such a reason as this when it is known of all men that those white men occupied seats rightfully belong to colored men and that they appraised the "stolen goods," and wore them without shame before the walking throngs at Chicago? Dr. Du Bois virtually advises Hon. R. R. Church to leap into the sea. He admits thereby that his own Party (Socialist) affords no refuge. He takes this position too with Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson on the National Republican Committee and in charge of the work among colored people. He takes this position with Senator Warren G. Harding a statesman of repute and the newly chosen leader of the Republican Party who has but recently entered upon his duties, assuring the colored men of Hon. R. R. Church's type and all others that a full mead of recognition and justice will be accorded them. His words have been supplemented by others spoken by the Governor of Massachusetts, his running mate on the ticket and both of these statesmen are being supported by some of the most radical race leaders in the country. to us as though at no time during our country's history have the words of Frederick Douglass been more prophetic and we repeat them even as Editor Du Bois has done: The Republican Party is the ship—all else is the Sea. Well, for God's sake, give us the Ship! BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone, Vk., Sept. 14.—Twenty-three candidates were baptized at Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday morning and another that night, making a total addition to the membership of twenty-four. Before baptizing them Rev. Ashburn, the pastor, instructed them as to their duties as Christians. A large gathering was present to witness the washing away of their sins of those who had decided to throw aside satan and his deadly poison, and to give the remainder of their days to the Master. At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon at Shiloh, Mr. Walter L. Tucker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tucker delivered a rhl sermon before a very appreciative audience. The church was nearly filled, thus showing the interest taken in this youth. Mr. Tucker after explaining his visions, and reading some of the passages of the scripture which the Lord had directed him to, chose for his subject: "Here I am," which is a portion of the 5th verse of the 3rd chapter of 1st Samuel. Everyone who heard this sermon was delighted at the splendid start and ecort the young man is putting forth to preach the gospel of the gospel of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is only a youth about nineteen years old and he expects to enter Va. Theological Seminary and College this Fall to prepare himself for life's work, which the Lord has com-manded him to do. For this purpose the amount of $50.00 was taken up after his sermon as a free will offering from those present, more o'f the young men and some of the older men and ladies gave $1.00 some as high as $2.50. Besides this the Shiloh Sunday School has voted unanimously to donate to Mr. Tucker one month's tuition and board. This all goes to show broad-heartedness of the pastor of Shiloh who has at all times done what he could for the uplift of the people of the community and the race in general, the deacons and the church and community as a whole. While Mr. Tucker is a member of this Sunday School, he is not a member of this church, and it is expected that his church, Spring Hill, will do even more for him than has this church. Besides the above amount, Mr. Tucker has received several donations on the streets from friends who did not do this at the church Sunday. Miss Artelia L. Gilliam of New York has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Giles Gilliam, Sr. left here Saturday afternoon to return to her post of duty. Miss Lillian is a graduate nurse, holding diplomas from two N. Y. Institutions. She has for some time been head nurse in one of the public schools of that city and was scheduled to return to that position on Monday, the 13th. The many friends of Miss Gilliam here are indeed proud of the success with which she has met since leaving here. Prior to going to New York to take up nursing she was a teacher in the public schools of this county, having graduated from Hartshorn College, Richmond, a few years ago. In Nottoway Circuit Court last week, Eddie Robertson was sentenced to five years in the State Penitentiary for shooting and killing his father on the morning of August 28th.

Moore) THERE is such a thing as a fellow I taking himself too seriously. For instance, when a chap starts a "movement" and then straightway swallows the "movement" and calmly announces, "And I will lead the way of the wilderness." It just now happens that the politician is in the saddle. It has been his habit not only to take himself seriously but also to take everything else he could lay his capricious hands on. He is going true to form. But there is just this one ray of hope flashing slantwise ahwart the political skies of the moment. Mr Politician is beginning to call himself names. It doth appear that there are two breeds of the species, the genus Northerinus and the genus Southerninus. By some terrifically unsuvory means the genus Southerninus has "beat" the genus Northerinus to the first serving of the political pie. The very devil is to play as a consequence. With characteristic perplexity of perception, Col. Perry Howard of Mississippi who, by the way, happens to be sitting at the first table, rushes to the defense of the brothren and heatedly announces that "What the race needs is worth and efficiency, courage and tact, and not leather-lunged geographical location." This is alliteratively crushing. But is it sufficiently sensible to serve the purpose we all have in hand to achieve? The election of Harding and Coolidge is the main question at issue. "To be squabbling about jobs at the several headquarters is "small town" stuff and, is, fundamentally, unseemly and at variance with the operation of common sense at this time. It is economic and political stability which is the crying need of the hour. Bread crumbs for the few may mean starvation for the many. No North, no South, but a united race held together in the pursuit of a clear interpretation of the Constitution and a sound furtherance of the finer and fulter spirit of American life, constitute our alms, and, by the Heavens, we propose to have all of this and more. To h——l with the jobs, we want freedom. "More War" is in the air. Should it come to us I feel certain that the "colored man and brother" will respond to the call to arms with a unanimity of spirit which will sound the death knell to the further maintenance of the lynching disposition by a large and influential element of the American people. More peace to the ashes of lynching. Save your money. Only the other day the Pennsylvania Railroad Discharged twelve thousand men from one of its main divisions and the rumor is that more are in line for discharge before the winter sets in. It is also announced that several of the big corporations in the West will discharge large numbers of men in the near future. Save your money. Coal and food next winter will go farther than automobile rides this summer. But then the Lord is our Shepherd, we should worry. HARDING ISSUES STATEMENT. Marion, Ohio, Sept. 13. Senator Harding issued the announcement tonight after he had been informed that the Maine election result indicated a sweeping victory for the Republican ticket. The result in Maine is a reassurance that the American people mean to return to representative government under the Constitution through the agency of the Republican party and that Maine takes the lead in declaring for America unmortgaged to the Old World, but still ready to serve humanity as American conscience impels." DANIELS ON MAINE ELECTION. Washington, Sept. 13. —Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who made speeches in Maine for the Democratic ticket commented upon the election there tonight in a statement which said that the "majority for State of fliers in September does not fore-shadow anything as to the November result." The vote in the Monday election does not indicate the strength of the sentiment in favor of the league of nations in Maine" he said. "Some of the ablest men in the State told me that in a straight league of nations referendum in November Cox and Roosevelt could carry the State on a question unfelected by State issues, if that issue was presented directly to all the waters of the State."

Dear Sir.—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dorsical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another; her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend it your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued For full particulars, send or call L.
