SENATOR HARDING AND THE COLORED RACE "If I have anything to do with it, there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unlawful violence, whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own hands, can only be death with in one way by true Americans. Fear not, here upon this beloved soil you shall have that justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been played for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people by their restraint, their totheme, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God have earned it and America will bestow it." BRASS TACKS BRASS TACKS In a pistol duck on lower Franklin Street last Monday evening, John Drayer shot Charles Hopa us, killing him instantly. Five embs were found in Hopkins gun, while there was only one found in Drayer's weapon. The trouble seemingly was concerning the wife of Drayer. If colored folks continue retracing, they will soon be just as bad as white toils. The crowd of colored and white women applying for registration at the city hall grew so large that the authorities in the r otherwise forethought, consigned the darker contingent to the lower regions of the City Hall. Later on in the afternoon a white woman's pocketbook took the wines of the morning and flew to parts unknown. There, was no colored person nigh to be charged with the theft, and the victim is reported to have exclaimed: "Mercy, I thought all of the thieves were downstairs!" Poor deluded fish. The main topic of interest now is anent the registration of the colored women. They crowd the City Hall every day, and claim they haven't started yet. The mark is 5,000. KU KLUX KLAN IN RICHMOND.

Richmond Times Dispatch, Sept. 20 1920.) KNOWS HIS BUSINESS (Cleveland, O., Gazette.) Our esteemed confreux, Editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond (VA) Planet, in his paper of August 28, 1829, published the following e- pox, then topps our editorial, Jr. Farkis, Brother Mitchell our candidate, or the republican nominee, for Secretary of State of Ohio, terminated on the date of the recent primary, August 10, 1920. Theorecte, we were no longer a candidate when the integraging Panet editorial was published. Tyler, did not cease "knocking" after Senator Harding's statement in his speech of acceptance of his position on the so-called race question, but has continued, directly and indirectly, to the present. "Personal feeling" had no place in our comment. We were only statistical facts. Editor Mitchell, and all the old contrives of the race papers, have known Ralph Tyler for years. How his reference to the latter's "prisms," in this matter, must have made them smile. We have an idea that even our counter of the Planet did so soon when he wrote the word "vcrm" in connection with Tyler's name. The later, has for many years been "knocking" about everybody and everyone he was put personally in to bed in, but until recent months of race papers that published his "tumil" Tyler's "white" Texas and other stories, published against. Senator Harding's candidacy, prior to the presidential primary in this state and not "knocks" almost constantly since were born of personal plaque and disappointment after starting out to attend the Harding candidacy, early in the year, as a crew of big fish to get what he wanted from Senator Harding's campaign manager, the Hon. Harry M. Danghery, from whom he had secured a check for one hundred dollars with which to attend the Lincoln League meet held some months ago in Chicago. Soon there after Tyler "swathed" to the support of the Wood candidacy and apparently has not as yet become rily reckoned to the Harding candidacy candidate, it was only last week that he took cover "Hing" in the latter. We are only saying, our own personal opinion when we say that we do not think any of the Harding managers who know Tyler, are at all concerned to his vote or illiquid "injunction" which is of great loss to someone that his one vote. Ohio Also Americans like those of the entire country, where they can vote and have their votes counted as one man for Harding and Coolidge and against Gov. James "Birth of a Nation" Gox and Franklin "Haiti Roosevelt and the patrol Gop" Geijdel and ourher $_{1}$ Democracy they as candidates must represent. The two standard bearers of the Republican party, this year, are the most outspoken on the socialised race question and the best the grand old party has had in many years, if not in its entire history. This is particularly true of Senator Warren G. Harding whom we have known well for twenty years. When it comes to our people's interests (as American citizens) we regard him as being second only to that prince of orators, our great and good friend Senator James Reenson Fotaker, whose grand fight in the U.S. Senate for "The Black Battalion" like the Senator will live in the hearts and minds of our people as long as they exist. Warren G. Harding's elevation to the Presidency, next March, will automatically end many of our troubles in this country and those of Haiti and Santo Domingo, arbitrarily imposed by a miserable southern Democratic regime (Wilson's) that caused many of our soldier boys in France during the World War to fight not only German enemies in front of them but also prejudiced southern "American" enemies (Cerackers") in their rear, and kept us "mighty" busy here at home trying to preserve our morale as a result of the lynching of our men and women with unborn babies; wholesale denial of civil rights to soldiers and civilians, male and female; the rankest kind of insults, particularly to superior women of the race, in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C., disfranchisement, "Jimerow" cars and segregation of many kinds etc., etc. We repeat. Brother Mitchell, we have no personal feeling in this Tyler matter only political, but plenty of that. He must stop his "knocking" Harding and Coolidge! Tyler did the same thing, for us in various race paners during the recent campaign—always camouflaging his attacks, as usual, as so as to mislead those who do not know and watch him closely. That is how he has misled our high esteemed confrere and long-time friend of the Richmond Planet. He has been doing this sort of thing for many years and "getting away with it "unlikely too often. We were far too busy during the recent campaigns to call attention to the fact or we would have dogs on softer even though the pitter is hardly worth the time, space and effort." Don't get uneasy. Brother Mitchell, Ohio will give Harding and Coodge in Nov. next a majority over the Democratic candidates of more than one hundred thousand, and with the rest of the "Cottonies" North, will place them in the White House with the largest vote and majority over "Birth of a Nation" Cox and "Hattif" Roosevelt that any candidates for the Presidency have ever received. That is the peace for the long suffering American people's sake "God" is going to let us have." Furthemore, there will be no more Democratic Presidents, for the next twenty years in least. Of this you may rest a-sured. Yes, Brother, we "know our bushes." JACK JOHNSON DROPS EIGHT Chicago, Sept. 15.

The report of the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer showed that the total amount of business accounted for by the Order for the fiscal year beginning September 1, 1919 and ending August 31, 1920 is $27,142. 39. The total amount of death claims listed by the Order from October 1910 thru August 31, 1920 is $452,718. 75. This includes $162,000 brought over prior to 1910.

EMERGENCY DRIVE A notable and highly commended feature concerning the Order is the drive it is making to wipe out all of its outstanding death claims within three years beginning with September 1919. The plan adopted at the annual session 1919 at the suggestion of the Grand Worthy Master, was that each member of the Brotherhood ra so $5.00 a year for three years by adding two new members to the Order or by securing the revival of old policy of one ex member. It has taken quite a while for the members to understand the plan, many thinking that there was an extra taxation of $5.00 a year imposed upon them. From all indications it now looks like this year will be a banner year in this particular. The Fountains and Rosebuds of the Brotherhood that won prizes in this year's campaign were: King Solomon, Richmond, Va.; Dover Mines, Dover Mines, Va.; Jessamine of Smithers, W. Va.; Huntingdon Valley, of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.; Crystal Rosebud of Richmond, Va. and Columbia Rosebud of Petersburg, Pa.

It was one of the best sessions held since the organization. Good reports were heard from new sections. The order has more money in bank than ever before. The Lord has wonderfully blessed our work. We lost only 35 members by death during the year, while 450 members were added to our ranks. Every death claim is paid.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920 THE ST, JOHN WATCHMEN WILL VENEAT EMPORIA The Grand Lodge of the above named order will assemble at Emporia Virginia, where it was organized five years ago with 19 members. It goes back there September 28, 29 and 30 with a membership of more than 8,000. During this short period it has also acquired $10,000 worth of property and paid thousands of dollars in death claims and sick dues. This is a great record. Grand Master Puryear and others who have built up this order deserve great credit, for in so doing they are showing the world the capacity of the Negro for constructive and financial work. Plans are to be laid at this session to make the Watchmen the leader among Negro fraternal orders GREGORY—SCOTT. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Scott, 4308 Lawson Street, announces the marriage of their daughter, Ethel Alberta to Mr. Dealus Gregory, of New York City, September 14, 1920.

Mrs. Gregory was one of our most popular young ladies and will be greatly missed by her large circle of friends. She carries with her their best wishes. SENATOR HARDING AND THE COLORD RACE "If I have anything to do with it there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unlawful violence, whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own bands, can only be death with in one way by true Americans. Fear not. Here, upon this beloved soil you shall have that justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people, by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God have earned it, and America will bestow it." BRASS TACKS In a pistol duel on lower Franklin Street last Monday evening, John Drayer shot Charles Hopkins, killing him instantly. Five empties were found in Hopkins gun, while there was only one found in Drayer's weapon. The trouble seemingly was concerning the wife of Drayer. If colored folks continue retrograding, they will soon be just as bad as white folks. The crowd of colored and white women applying for registration at the city hall grew so large that the authorities in their otherwise forethought, consigned the darker contingent to the lower regions of the City Hall. Later on in the afternoon a white woman's pocketbook took the wings of the morning and flew to parts unknown. There was no colored person nigh to be charged with the theft, and the victim is reported to have exclaimed: "Mercy, I thought all of the thieves were downstairs!" Poor deluded fish. The main topic of interest now is anent the registration of the colored women. They crowd the City Hall every day and claim they haven't started yet. The mark is 5,000. --- KU KLUX KLAN IN RICHMOND. Most Secret of "Societies" Will Take in Many New Members Here. Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, organized here a few days ago will meet on night "somewhere in Richmond" for the purpose of taking into the order a number of men who have signified their desire to join, the organizer stated will total enfw py was learned last night. The order anorship here more than 10,000 within a few weeks. At the present time there are more than 200 accredited members. Five men are in charge of the organization work here, which is said to be going on all over the State. A number of new members will be initiated tonight in some secret meeting place in the downtown section. The order follows the customs of the Old Klan formed just after the War between the States in that it initiates new members under the fiery cross, it is declared. Richmond Times Dispatch, Sept. 20 1920.) KNOWS HIS BUSINESS. (Cleveland, O.. Gazette.) Our esteemed confrere, Editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, in his paper of August 28, 1920, published the following editorial: Then follows our editorial. He says, First, Brother Mitchell our candidate for the republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio terminated on the date of the recent primary, August 10, 1920. Therefore, we were no longer a candidate when the foregoing Planet editorial was published. Tyler did not cease "knocking" after Senator Harding's statement (in his speech of acceptance) of his position on the so called race question, but has continued, directly and indirectly, to the present. "Personal feeling" had no place in our comment. We were only stating political facts. Editor Mitchell, and all the old confreases of the race press, have known Ralph Tyler for years. How his reference to the latter's "erring," in this matter, must have made them smile! We have an idea that even our confrease of the Planet did so, too when he wrote the word "err" in connection with Tyler's name. The later, has for many years been "knocking" about everybody and everything he was not personally interested in, but, until recent months, race papers that published his "stuff". Tyler's "lily-white" Texas and stories, published against Senator the presidential primary in this state and his "knocks" almost constantly since were born of personal pique and disappointment after starting out to support the Harding candidacy, early in the year, as a result of his failure to get what he wanted from Senator Harding's campaign-manager, the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, from whom he had secured a check for one hundred dollars with which to attend the Lincoln League meet held some months ago in Chicago. Soon there after Tyler "switched" to the support of the Wood candidacy and apparently has not as yet become fully recoupled to the Harding Coolidge candidates for it was only last week that he took a cover "fling" at the latter. We are only giving our own personal opinion when we say that we do not think any of the Harding managers who know Tyler, are at all concerned as to his vote or alleged "influenoe" which is of far less consequence than his one vote. Ohio Afro-Americans like those of the entire country, where they can vote and have their votes counted, are as one man for Harding and Cookidge and against Gov. James "Birth of a Nation" Cox and Franklin Haifi Roosevelt and the putrid (so prejudice e1) southern Democracy they as candidates mainly represent. The two standard bearers of the Republican party, this year, are the most outspoken on the so-called race question and the best the grand old party has had in many years, if not in its entire history. This is particularly true of Senator Warren G. Harding whom we have known well for twenty years. When it comes to our people's interests (as American citizens) we regard him as being second only to that prince of orators, our great and good friend Senator James Benson Foraker, whose grand fight in the U. S. Sepate for "The Black Battalion" like the Senator will live in the hearts and minds of our people as long as they exist. Warren G. Harding's elevation to the Presidency, next March, will automatically end many of our troubles in this country and those of Haiti and Santo Domingo, arbitrarily imposed by a miserable southern Democratic regime (Wilson's) that caused many of our soldier boys in France during the World War to fight not only German enemies in front of them but also prejudiced southern "American" enemies ("crackers") in their rear, and kept us "mighty" busy here at home trying to preserve our morale as a result of the lynching of our men and women with unborn babies; wholesale denial of civil rights to soldiers and civilians, male and female; the rank est kind of insults, particularly to superior women of the race, in the governmental departments at Washington. D. C., distranchisement, "Jim-crow"ars and segregation of many kinds etc., etc. We repeat. Brother Mitchell, we have no personal feeling in this Tyler matter only political, but plenty of that. He must stop his "knocking" Harding and Coolidge! Tyler did the same thing for us in various race papers during the recent campaign—always camouflaging his attacks, as usual, as so as mislead those who do not know and watch him closely. That is how he has misled our high esteemed confrere and long-time friend of the Richmond Planet. He has been doing this sort of thing for many years and "getting away with it entirely too often. We were far too busy during the recent campaigns to call attention to the fact or we would have done so sooner even though the matter is hardly worth the time, space and effort. Don't get uneasy, Brother Mitchell, Ohio will give Harding and Coolidge in Nov. next a majority over the Democratic candidates of more than one hundred thousand and, with the rest of the "Cottonless" North, will place them in the White House with the largest vote and majority over "Birth of a Nation" Cox and "Haiti" Roosevelt that any candidates es for the Presidency have ever received. That is the 'peace for the long suffering American people's sake" is 'going to let us have.' For theremore, there will be no more Democratic Presidents, for the next twenty years at least. Of this you may rest assured. Yes, Brother, we 'know our bushes.' --- JACK JOHNSON DROPS FIGHT. Chicago, Sept. 18.—John Arthur (Jack) Johnson former world's heavy weight champion pugilist, today decided to drop his fight for release from conviction of the Mann act and prepare to leave tonight for Leavenworth to begin his sentence o four year.

The fortyth annual session of the Grand Fountain, United Order, of True Reformers was held in Richmond, Va. on September 14, 15, 16, 1920 with splendid results. The Grand Worthy Master, Mr. W. S. Woodson presided over the sessions. About 150 delegates were in attendance. For harmony and a disposition to support the administration in its efforts to rebuild the Order, the delegates at this session showed a greater zeal in this particular than has been manifested for the last ten years. The report of the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer showed that the total amount of business accomplished by the Order for the fiscal year beginning September 1, 1910 and ending August 31, 1920, is $27,142—99. The total amount of death claims listed by the Order from October, 1910 thru Aug. 31, 1920 is $452,718. 75. This includes $163,000 brought over prior to 1910. The total amount paid on death claims by the Order since October 1910 is $380,19.08. The total number of new and revived members added to the Order from September 1, 1919 through August 31, 1920 was 1,373. The present benefited membership is 5,646. A feature of the Grand Master's report was the presentation of the following members who received honorable mention for meritorious work during the year; Mrs. Louisa Saunders, Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Ella M. Thompson, Rio Vista, Va.; Mesdames L. B. Daulton and Addie Lewis of Smithers, W. Va.; Mr. Richmond Shelton, Dover Mines, Va. and Dr. W. H. Smith, Richmond, Va. GRAND OFFICERS. The Grand Officers elected and installed for the ensuing year were as follows; W. S. Woodson, Staunton, Va., G. W., M.; Lcee Treut, Pittsburgh, Pa., Vcee G. W., M.; M. A, B. Smith, Richmond, Va., G.

Peyton, Richmond, Va.; Prof. J. H. Blackwell, Richmond, Va.; Barrett Jackson, Wilmington, Del.; Susan Vaughn, Howerton, Va.; Samuel E. Ray, Washington, D. C. and S. W. Hall, Richmond Va. EMERGENCY DRIVE A notable and highly commended feature concerning the Order is the drive it is making to wipe out all of its outstanding death claims within three years beginning with September 1919. The plan adopted at the annual session 1919 at the suggestion of the Grand Worthy Master, was that each member of the Brotherhood raise $5.00 a year for three years by adding two new members to the Order or by securing the revival of old policy of one ex member. It has taken quite a while for the members to understand the plan, many thinking that there was an extra taxation of $5.00 a year imposed upon them. From all indications it now looks like this year will be a banner year in this particular. The Fountains and Rosebuds of the Brotherhood that won prizes in this year's campaign were: King Solomon, Richmond, Va.; Dover Mines, Dover Mines, Va.; Jessamine of Smithers, W. Va.; Huntingdon Valley, of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.; Crystal Rosebud, of Richmond, Va. and Columbia Rosebud of Petersburg, Pa. FOUNDER'S DAY. On October 20, 1920 the Brotherhood will celebrate Founder's Day in honor of the 71st birthday anniversary of the Rev. William Washington Browne, Founder of the Order, and as a special tribute to his memory, each member of the Brotherhood is requested to add one new or one revived member to the Order in time to report the same during the said celebration. Persons are being admitted to the Order up to 50 years of age for a special joining fee of $2.50. All ex members can revive their old policies up to 70 years of age and will be required to pay a revival fee of $5.20 up to 55 years of age; $6.40 from 55 to 60 years of age and $0.60 from 60 to 70 years of age. PRICE, FIVE CENTS TAG DAY FOR COMMUNITY HOUSE WEAR A TAG--- HELP THE CAUSE Friday October 1, 1920, is Tag Day for the Community House for Colored People, Incorporated. You are asked to purchase, with a liberal contribution, a Tag, from any of the volunteer workers seen on the streets, during this day, and wear the emblem, which will indicate, silently, but forcefully your interest in the humane cause for which the institution stands. Winter months are advancing, suffering and distress will be manifold among the poor of the city. The institution will be able to help in so far as a generous public makes it possible. Many tags worn on the above date are guarantees of the alleviation of suffering of one or more families during the severest winter months. Hundreds of cases of every description are registered on the books of the organization, and every case calls for its own, individual plan of adjustment. Help solve the vexing problems; help to bring about constructive adjustment; help the weaker, dependable brother to find himself. The purchase of a Tag will help much in these accomplishments, counting in your effort. Other organizations have made their worthy appeals during the Spring and Summer months preceding. The Community House has refrained until this season, when the approach of winter and the urgent need of the city's poor make the appeal necessary. Volunteer workers desiring to contribute service for this day, are asked to call Fandolph 2727 or call tc. Office, 2 W. Marshall Street.

SUBSORPTION RATES Jur Year ..... $ 2.00 12 Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920 "STICKS TO HIS MUTTON " Hon. Harry C. Smith, "sticks to his mutton" in his lengthy reply to our comment upon his attitude towards Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, of the same State. The Cleveland Gazette was made as an organ of transmission of much information concerning this leader in Ohio politics. He insists that he knows as much about Mr. Tyler and his methods and desires as any one else; certainly more than does the "gentleman from Virginia" and we must necessarily 'let it go at that.' Still, we hope that this friction may be eliminated and that common ground may be found upon which both of these Ohioans may work unitedly and harmoniously for the success of the Republican ticket. "THE KU KLUX KLAN." In the Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch in its issue of the 20th inst., informs its readers that a branch of the otu Ku Klux Klan, which this time emanates and has its head-quarters in Georgia was to be organized that night "under the fiery cross" some where in this city. Its purpose is the same as it has always been, "to main rain white supremacy." This is quite an auspicious time for its organization, inasmuch as a Democratic Administration has seen fit to enfranchise colored women in order that white women might be able to vote, too. It is also an auspicious time for the reason that hundreds of thousands of colored men, who saw service in France have learned the use of the long and short range rifles and have been taught when and how to use them. Conditions here now are not the same as they were at the end of the civil war and men will fight in a way to protect women in their rights that is not observable in the protection of men under similar conditions. This is why we cautioned our good white friends to "go slow" in this matter and not to do anything to disturb the bond of friendship that now exists be tween white and colored people in this or in any other community. We pause to remark that if it is right for white men to organize the Ku Klux Klan for maintenance of "white supremacy," then it is right for colored men to organize a Ku Klux Kan to maintain "white supremacy." If it is wrong for the white men to organize the Ku Klux Klan to maintain "white supremacy," then it is wrong for colored men to organize a Ku Klux Klan to maintain "white supremacy." As far as we are able to observe, the colored people are uniting to maintain white supremacy already. We have the spectacle of hundreds of colored women crowding in to the City Hall here to register in order that they may vote for one on the other of four white Democratic Candidates for City Treasurer. They are also registering in order that they may be able to vote for the electors of one of the other of the presidential candidates, all of whom are white. They favored recently one or the other of the white Democratic candidates for Mayor of Richmond. Still, the plea is set up that by voting for white men, white supremacy is endangered. They do more than this. They deposit their money in white men's banks. They purchase their clothes, their millinery, their dry goods, their shoes from white men. They hire white men's teams. They purchase their Sunday School literature from white men. They ride in white men's cars and on white men's railroads. They work as scullions in white men's residences and they do the work in white men's families. They nurse white men; they purchase their automobiles and they nurse their children. They pray for long --- life and prosperity for the families of white men and they do everything in the world possible that white folks may live long "in the land that thy Lord and thy God giveth thee." We suggest then that prominent colored people call a meeting "some where" to organize a Ku Klux Klan for the maintenance of that "white supremacy" that we are already main taining. With the bomb outrages in New York city that no black man is even suspected of having perpetrated we are of the opinion that "white supremacy" is being seriously endangered in this and other parts of the country. It may be then that the time is at hand, when colored men should again imitate the white men, if these white men are right and so arrange matters that when they start out in their murderous undertaking that they may have colored men to assist them. We would like to read the funeral ceremonies of the newly organized Ku Klux Klan. If the organization becomes unduly active, this will be utilized and recited as frequently as the ritual. We suggest too that the organization select a cemetery for the white Ku Klux Klan over the gate way of which shall be the emblem, the "fiery cross" of arson and murder. The black branch of the Ku Klux Klan will need no such arrangement at present for a resting place for its members, who have met untimely deaths can readily be secured in one of the many cemeteries already for the interment of their kind of people. White folks are more particular, that is the law abiding element seems to be and may demand that the membets of this blood-drained organization be buried elsewhere. Selah. MR. SHILLADY WEAKENS. The New Yorn Crisis, in its issue for August comments upon a remark made by the brilliant and energetic Mr. John R. Shillady, in his letter tendering his resignation as Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People He is quoted as saying: "I am less confident than heretofore of the speedy success of the Association's full program, and of the probability of over-coming, within a reasonable period, the forces opposed to Negro equality by the means and methods which are within the Asso cation's power to employ." The Crisis says: This is the frank judgment of a white man of high ideals and broad sympathy who came to our problem with thorough training in methods of social uplift. For two years he has studied the Negro problem from a peculiar vantage ground, knowing it without and within, making close friendships with black folk all over the land and studying their problem through thousands of calls and letters. What it took Mr. Shillady two years to find out, we know a decade before the great organization with which he was affiliated was organized. Much that Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the very able editor says should have been left to Mr. Shillady to utter. This dis tinguished northerner made the same mistake that northern and western theorists make. They are of the opinion that the antipathy to the Negro is only towards the Negro. They do not know that the same class of south erners, who dislike the Negro, hate the northerner ten-fold more, who takes the Negro's part. He labored under the impression that because he was a white man and had access to the white men's theatres, churches and hotels, he was immune to the treatment to which a Negro would be subjected. As a matter of fact, those Texans would accord help to their own Negroes and permit them certain liberties that they would not accord to him. In Texas, certain Negroes had and have certain influential white friends, men with whom they played as boys, who will protect them from harm. Mr. Shillady did not have a single friend in the whole of Texas, except those Negroes who admired him, but who were unable to protect or defend him. Mr. Shillady was energetic and he evidently expected to see the rising sun of equality for all American citizens, not only during his lifetime, but during his term of office as Secretary of the Association. He seemed to forget that one hundred years is a brief time to bring about a great reform. No one organization can do it. The only power that can do it is that possessed by the American people. It is the purpose of such an organization to arouse this sentiment today and tomorrow and the next day and the day thereafter and so on as long as life lasts and to have our descendents to take up the reins of our endeavor where we left off until the reform wins a way in the world and is en throned in all of this land. Dr. Du Bois concludes: We called to our aid one of the best of America's, social, workers. The THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA haters of black folk beat him and mal-treated him and scarred him like a dog because he tried to talk quiet reas on to Texas. Here is the problem and what will white men do about it? All great reformers have travelled the same course. John Brown died up on the gallows. Wendell Phillips was maltreated and abused. Charles Sumner nearly lost his life in a similar effort but none of them weakened in their efforts. Even Frederick Douglass was about to weaken when that noble woman exclaimed: "Frederick, God is not dead." Mr. Shillady is lucky to have escaped with his life. Dr Du Bois is right when he says: Here is the problem and what will white men do about it? We conclude with, Here is the problem what will the American people, in respective of race or color, politics or religion do about it? Senator Warron G. Harding has made a remarkable record in the matter, of delivering "front porch" speeches. They have been models of both oratory and statesmanship. He has won many friends by his straight forward manner of meeting issues and he has convinced the people of the country that he is sincere. You cannot go to heaven "on flow cry beds of case," but you can go to hell by being worldly and practicing all of the vices of this age. Some women are getting tired trying to get ready for voting and they will get more tired, when they attempt to exercise that right at the polls. They have though what their male friends do not possess. They have the full power of speech and they know how to use it. The tongue is a powerful weapon in the mouth of a woman and the men, even the democratic men know it. Says Chemist Is Public Benefactor "Being a doctor, and suffering for many years with stomach trouble, I feel I cannot do justice to so great a public benefactor in writing. Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is everything you have claimed for it. I can now eat and relish victuals. I have not dared to eat in many years. Am now feeling like newly born."

Nominee Assures 500 Ministers and Others Fair Pray Will Be Given to Them. Marion Ohio, September —The Negro brother has a way of blending his religion and his portraits without reproach of impurity or suggestion of levity. Like Cromwell's founders, he believes in coming on the Amnigy in pressing need, direct appeal for ordinance purpose. His notion of the pressing need now always is to get a government that will quick kicking his race around. That was the mouth of his talk when tenofo of him, mostly Baptist, both North and South marched to the front porch to speak to Senator Harding and go hear from him in return. Not the least and impressive note in the discourses of the Negro speakers was their marvelous confidence that Senator Harding will be elected. Having that confidence their prin- capal pulpit orator, the Rev. A. D. Rob- inson Baptist, Philadelphia, carnest- ly invited the Almighty to gaze appro- vingly upon the triumphant march of the Republican hosts down Pennsylvania avenue on March 4, 1921. An reverently as men can invoke a trem- dous gift the preacher invited God to the inauguration of Mr. Hard- ing. And there was something about the simple directness the deeply abid- ing faith of these dark skinned be- believers that gave a lift to the minds that absorbed their prayers. They made something of an impress sien in Marion, these Negroes nearly all leaders in the community industries of their race in the various localities they came from, as well as the leaders in church affairs. They were dignified as became men of affairs. They had no use for brass bands and profitless noise. They marched through the streets in a proud column of two, all frock coated in sober black, some of them carrying their Bibles and not a few chanting psalms as they waked. Now and then somebody called aloud "Harding." Another replied, "God grant it. Amen." Their whole expression was that of men who look more than ever in these troublous days to the Republican nominee as one who will stand by them and give to them the justice and the fair treatment to which they are en titled. Senator and Mrs. Harding, with Gen. Pershing, who remained over with the Hardings until this afternoon, welcomed the delegations a t the front porch. There were the customary handshaking and picture taking, and then the prayer to which reference has been made—a powerful prayer, as the saying is. The salutation was made by William H. Lewis, who used to be an Assistant Attorney-General at Boston and who was a noted football player at Harvard. FROM MARION TO WHITE HOUSE Mr. Lewis can make a good speech and demonstrated it. He told the Senator that the colored people quite understand that the road to the White House (this year leads through Ohio, but through Marion, not Dayton). He said the inspiration for the visit was the desire on the part of the Negro race in America to renew its pledges of fidelity and devotion to the polite cal party of its fathers. He said the Negroes of America are just as confident of being as well received by President Harding as they were being handsomely welcomed by Candidate Harding. And he added, with a touch of religious ardor." "Of all the pilgrims who shall come to your front door none will come with more anxious hearts and more fervent prayers than the group repre senting twelve millions of your colored fellow citizens. Other groups may have been affected by the lack of capacity, the inefficiency and the extrav agance of the present Administration but we have suffered from its indifference, its malevolence and its persecution. We have been the victims of the present Administration for more than any other class of citizens, eliminated from participation in government, segregated in the civil service and denoted the equal protection of the law." BLACKSTONE NOTES Blackstone, Va., Sept. 22.—The Nottoway County Training School opened its doors for the 1920-21 session on Thursday of last week, with one of the largest if not the largest, enrollments in the history of the school. The enrollment for that day was 219, with an increase each day thereafter. The faculty is composed entirely of new teachers with the exception of Prof. Botts and Miss Mattle Humbert. One of the others, Miss Irene Anderson, has taught in this county before and is known to some in this community. One more member has been added to the corps of teachers this year, thus making a total of eight teachers at this institution. The year just ahead promises to be the best in the schools history and with the co-operation of the patrons, there is no doubt that Prof. Botts with his assistants will continue to push this institution for ward.
