THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library CRICHMOND PLANET MPSLED. (Circlation Review.) . From the coloring of an editorial in the last issue of the Richmond Planet, known as one of the champion publications of the dark compton-coupled citizens of America, that the Philadelphia Christian Review is parting the ways with the Rev. W. F. Graham, one of the tourneurs of the Review, and that she said Dr. Graham and her friends have been forced to the necessity of handing out one the troubled sea of journalism another journal; the editor of the Christian Review wants to inform the Richmond Planet, and the public at large that the Christian Review was not organized by any set or group of men; that the Rev. Dr. K. W. Goff, pastor of the White Rock Baptist Church and the editor N. H. Hester, decided to bring out the first issue of the Review, Dr. Goff pokes the position as editor and N. H. Hester as publisher and owner or who has furnished every dollar from the first issue until now, and the Rev. Dr. Graham never furnishes one five cent piece to start the paper or as such to organize the news. We have long heard that it was told that Dr. Graham had $20,000 back of the Christian Review. If so it was so far back until the owner and publisher never knew it, and so far as being one of the associates' literals of the Review, Dr. Graham overlaid his relationship by writing in his resignation about three years ago, and the respondent of his church order of the clerk of the Review not to send any more papers about two years ago, the cause given from the church reborner was an editorial on the Negro Protective Alliance being a clearing house for the dark complexioned churches of Philadelphia. The Review has not been nor at tempted to force upon any church or churches, associations or conventions individual or individuals in the State of Pennsylvania or elsewhere the funeral garden of the Christian Review. The financial standing of the Review as much was little when the Review was occupied. Of course this may be strange new after so much has been laid for many live on the work perhaps of a few house places who come to work with the Christian Review. In it two working, but the Christian Review be right on and in this same editorial a certain charge is said to be made by Dr. Graham that there are today presidents who put the world and their personal interest, and their selflessness above the cause of Christ. God knows who these presidents are. This editorial states that he chooses that there is a man because he fails to be elected to a certain office attempts to break up the kingdom of God and tear down the church. This last charge is so out of proportion according to our knowledge in the state of Pennsylvania it is fruitless to comment. We believe the editor of the Direct to be one of the best New Testament laymen known in the land, but we certainly want to inform this high tone gentleman that the Review was not organized by mind slinging, nor by one who trump up charms to keep the Review alive, nor to throw the church life of associations or conventions in turmoil. As we have served in the past, we are willing to serve in the future, but it is our purpose to serve the church, home and school with the healthful doctrine of the New Testament and whenever it is absolutely necessary to call in question any act perpetrated upon as society, conventions or churches, this we do with love to all and malice and hate to none. We may not have been great organizers in Pennsylvania before the coming of Dr. Graham, but we will leave it to the public to say whether or not the work has been re-organized or Dr. Graham has gone on with the work already organized having success. Parts of the religious denomination may have been loosely conducted in a large number of conventions or associations but records will show that the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention for twenty years held to the principles of a New Testament doctrine. The Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention as we understand it, is suffering and will continue to suffer so long as there are false leaders misinforming the republic regardless of the truth. The Christian Review will not turn to the right nor to the left, but continue to tell the truth and believe the truth. ```markdown ``` NOTICE! Learn Stenography and Typewriting.

Supreme Master Mr. Holmes replied as follows: "There is nothing against your honesty; the money has been handled right; nothing against your work or ability." Then the delegation was eager to know the reason for such a change. The Supreme Master replied, that more is desired between us.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE EXPOSES THE CONQUEST OF HAVIT After five years during which the invasion of the island of Haiti by United States Marines was shrouded in secrecy, silence has been broken by James Weldon Johnson, acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who was sent to Haiti by that organization to investigate. Mr. Johnson's charges have been reiterated. Senator Warren G. Harding in his campaign for the presidency and the State Department has had to reply to numerous editorial attacks made by newspapers to which the N. A. A. C. Public Information supplied facts. In belief Mr. Johnson's indictment of the Wilson administration's course to Haiti poses: 1. That the island of Haiti was ousted by United States Marines and that in five years some 5000 natives were shot. 2. That the Haitian assembly was dispersed by force in the orders of an American officer of Marines and that the Haitian republic has been virtually overthrown. 3. That a convention was forced by the United States upon the Haitian Government changing the constitution of Haiti so that Americans could purchase and own land there. 1. That the invasion of Haiti and the conduction of Haitian affairs had been untidy, benvolent to the National Bank of New York, whose vice-president, Receiver, I. Carrubian, had represented the State Department in Haiti. 2. That the salaries of the President and other officers of Haiti were withholded because the Haitian Government refused to turn over the National Bank of Haiti to the National City Bank, alleging that an investment previously made had been pumped with. 3. Among the new papers which have officially demolished explanations from the State Department of the conduction of Haiti are the New York Exciting Post, The Globe, and The Tide.

BETTER FOOTBALL. The football season in Richmond promises to be a busy and interesting one, according to reports from good sources. The old regular teams are practicing hard and whipping candidates into shape. The A. S. C., Superbias, Colonials and American Alliance are among teams that will be seen in action this Fall, and there are runners of other teams, who will bid for the championship. The great need in this city is a centralized body to control football. The games are scheduled in any sort of a haphazard way and the season, winds up with no definite champions. If we had a Football Association in control the teams would be matched in an even schedule, the record of each team would be systematically kept, the record of individual players preserved from year to year and the championship definitely and officially awarded. It is suggested that the football teams through their managers form a local football association. It would be a game of unusual interest if the football team of the Roanoke High School could be induced to come here and play the Richmond High School. It is possible, if our boys will prepare A young husbandman, who lives on one of our latitudinal streets, was severely beaten up a few weeks ago, by persons unknown up to the present.

Two bullets lodged in her shoulder, but the wounds are not very serious. They lived on Lodge Street. The motive is unknown. WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS 'RICHMOND PLANET MISLED.' (Christian Review.) . From the coloring of an editorial in the last issue of the Richmond Planet, known as one of the champion publications of the dark complex ioned citizens of America, that the Philadelphia Christian Review is parting the ways with the Rev. W. P. Graham, one of the founders of the Review, and that the said Dr. Graham and his friends have been forced to the necessity of launching out on the troubled sea of journalism another journal; the editor of the Christian Review wants to inform the Richmond Planet and the public at large that the Cristian Review was not organized by any set or group of men; that the Rev. Dr. R. W. Goff, pastor of the White Rock Baptist Church and the editor N. H. Hester, decided to bring out the first issue of the Review. Dr. Goff took the position as editor and N. H. Hester as publisher and owner who has furnished every dollar from the first issue until now, and the Rev. Dr. Graham never furnished one five cent piece to start the paper or as such to organize the same. We have long heard that it was told that Dr. Graham had $20,000 back of the Christian Review. If so, it was so far back until the owner and publisher never knew it, and so far as being one of the associate editors of the Review, Dr. Graham severed his relationship by sending in his resignation about three years ago, and the respondent of his church ordered the clerk of the Review not to send any more papers about two years ago. The cause given from the church reporter was an editorial on the Negro Protective Alliance being a clearing house for the dark complexioned churches of Philadelphia. The Review has not forced nor attempted to force upon any church or churches, associations or conventions of individual or individuals in the State of Pennsylvania or elsewhere the financial burden of the Christian Review. The financial standing of the Review as such was little when the Review was organized. Of course, this may be strange news after so much has been said for many live on the work perhaps of a few hence those who cease to work with the Chris tian Review just stop working, but the Christian Review keeps right on, and in this same editorial a serious charge is said to be made by Dr. Graham that there are today preachers who put the world and their per personal interest and their selfishness far above the cause of Christ. God knows who these preachers are. This editorial states that he charges that there is a man because he fails to be elected to a certain office attempts to break up the kingdom of God and tear down the church. This last charge is so out of proportion according to our knowledge in the state of Pennsylvania it is fruitless to comment. We believe the editor of the Planet to be one of the best New Testament laymen known in the land, but we certainly want to inform this high tone gentleman that the Review was not organized by bw mud slinging, nor by one who trumps up charges to keep the Review alive, nor to throw the church life of associations or conventions in turmoil. As we have served in the past, we are willing to serve in the future, but it is our pur pose to serve the church, home and school with the healthful doctrine of the New Testament and whenever it is absolutely necessary to call in question any act perpetrated upon as society, conventions or churches, it we will do with love to all and malice and hate to none.

The Supreme Master stated that a change was necessary to be made for the good of the Order. After the adjournment of the Executive Committee, when the nominations came up to the Supreme Lodge floor, finding that the place of the Supreme Secretary had been filled by another by nomination, I arose and asked permission to ask a question, which question was this: "Was it anything on my part as to handling the funds of the institution or was there anything against my honesty in any way or my work? Supreme Master Mr. Holmes replied as follows: "There is nothing against your honesty; the monies have been handled alright; nothing against your work or ability." Then the delegation was eager to know the reason for such a change. The Supreme Master replied, that there is discord between us. Had I been allowed to go into the Executive Committee and explain my side of the case, as he had done. I could have vindicated myself. I was not in this meeting. I am informed that some of the members of the Executive Committee asked that I be allowed to come in. It was stated that there was no charge against me and therefore it is not necessary for me to be in this meeting. I started with the organization 5 years ago as one of its clerks. It was in its infancy. I have worked day and night for the promotion of its work, giving my best service and true to every trust. I am thankful to say that I left in the confidence and hearts of some of the best people of the brotherhood, both in and out of the City; many good hand shakes and many asking God's blessings to rest upon me. For the protection of myself, my people and my friends, I wish to emphasize that there was no charge against me. AN APPRECIATION. I desire to thank the Richmond delegates who attended the Annual meeting of the Ideal Society, which met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for asking the Board of Directors to donate me $50.00 as a token of appreciation for service rendered, also thanks to the following people of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Northern Ideal Lodge No. 22, one large cut glass berry bowl; Welcome Nursery No. 36 of which Mrs. Jennio Saunders is Senior Guardian, silver fruit stand; Mrs. Pauline V. Washing ton, silver tray; Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Robinson, token; Mrs. Ellen B. and Miss Jessie Taylor, token; Mrs. Funie Ricks, token; and besides so many courtesies that were shown me while I was in their City and the well wishes. These tokens were presented at the close of the session. Praying that God's blessings may continue to rest upon each of you. Seekng a Loan. I am seeking a loan of $250.00 for one year, have no security to offer, for that reason I am willing to pay 20 per cent interest to the man that will favor me.

He worked as a mechanic helper for the Southern Railroad Company for a while then as a freight caller for the same company. After which he decided he would try to do something for his people. He got them together without any authority and organized what was known as the Freight Handlers Union, then he applied to Samuel Gompers, President of the Federation of Labor for a Charter which was granted him. Then Mr. Gompers gave him a position as General Organizer and Welfaro Worker for the Southern States. He is worthy of any and all honors that a man of his ability can get. There is not a paper that has not printed a letter of some kind concurring his work and I would like for all of our people to know and see what this worthy man has done for us along our line of work. FULTON NOTES. Services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist church last Sunday were very unique. Our pastor preached a splen did sermon. Our Rally is on and all the members and friends are asked to make a fine showing. The Sunday School department is requested to bestir themselves. Mr. C. B. Jefferson spent Sunday in West Point, Va. He preached for Mcv. O. S. Simms, of the First Baptist Church at 8 P. M. Deacon A. D. Clarke was presented his license by our Pastor last Sunday.

In the last week's issue of the Planet the following appeared: "The meetings are conducted by Colored Billy Sunday." Jesus said: "I am the way, no man cometh to the Father but by me." He further says: "Lift me up." Some of our preachers are lifting up Billy Sunday, styling them soves as the "Black or Colored Billy Sunday." The preacher who measures his profession by an earthorn vassell and advertises his work in the name of a member of the opposite race instead of the Lowly Nazareno lowers the standard of his calling. So long as the leaders of our race, especially the preacher foster their work by assuming the white man's name, manner and hold him up as our crerion, so long will he feel that he is our superior and that we must pass into the glory Land through him. Never once have we heard of a "White Fred Douglas" or a "White John Jasper." Brethren let us lay aside these weights-feltless names and hold up Jesus the Saviour of the World. (REV.) J. R. COOPER.

RED CIRCLE CLUB NOTES: A great historical pageant and spectacle is being planned by the various leaders of Red Circle groups. The pageant is especially in celebration of the Pilgrim Tercentenary which is being celebrated in England as well as in America, but will especially emphasize the Negroes of Virginia. More than three hundred persons will participate in the performance which will be out of doors. Very elaborate musical and costume effects are being arranged. Any individual or organizations wishing to have a part in this great spectacle should mcommunicate with Mrs. Alice Bower 513 N. Adams street, Mrs. M. A. Holmes, 308 W. Leigh street or the Red Circle Club. On Friday evening, September 24th the workers attending the Community Service Training School, which was held in Richmond for two weeks were entertained with an informal reception and dance by the citizens of Richmond. On Saturday the workers left for their several fields ex pressing the deepest appreciation for the generous hospitality which had been accorded them during their stay in the city. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE EXPOSES THE After five years during which the invasion of the island of Haiti by United States Marines was shrouded in secrecy, silence has been broken by James Weldon Johnson, acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who was sent to Haiti by that organization to investigate. Mr. John son's charges have been reiterated Senator Warren G. Harding in his campaign for the presidency and the State Department has had to reply to numerous editorial attacks made by newspapers to which the N. A. A. C. P. investigation supplied facts. In brief Mr. Johnson's indictment of the Wilson administration's course in Haiti recites: 1. That the island of Haiti was soiled by United States Marines and that in five years some 3500 natives were shot. 2. That the Haitian assembly was dispersed by force at the orders of an American officer of Marines and that the Haitian republic has been virtually overthrown. 3. That a convention was forced by the United States upon the Haitian Government changing the constitution of Haiti so that Americans could par chase and own land there. 4. That the invasion of Haiti and the conduct of Haitian affairs had been unduly benevolent to the National City Bank of New York, whose vice-president, Roger L. Faraham, had represented the State Department in Haiti. 5. That the salaries of the President and other officers of Haiti were withheld because the Haitian Government refused to turn over the National Bank of Haiti to the National City Bank alleging that an agreement previously made had been tamped with. Among the newspapers which have ecitorially demanded explanations from the State Department of the ce opuation of Haitia are the New York Evening Post, The Globe, and The Tribune. The Secretary of State in reply to Mr. Johnson's charges published several statements announcing that General Lejeune Commandant of the Marine Lejeune, oCommandant of the Marines and Admiral Knapp had been sent to Haiti to investigate. He also insisted the intentions of the United States in Haiti had been "benevolent." Mr. Johnson thereupon replied, asking for a Congressional investigation of affairs and charging that the investigations by General Lejeune and Admiral Knapp would probably result in an official whitewash. Latest advises to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indicate that a congressional investigation will be held as a consequence of Mr. Johnson's charges. Mrs. Susie H. Robinson, 215 E. 17th St., returned Tuesday from an extended Northern trip. DOCTOR MOTON AND PRESIDENT ALLEN T. BURNS TO ADDRESS URBAN LEAGUE INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE. The Annual Industrial Conference of the National Urban League to be held in association with the Negro Industrial Welfare Workers at the First Presbyterian Church, 818 Broad street near Market, Newark, N. J., October 20th-23rd will be a most significant gathering of white and colored students of the problems of race relations judging by the requests for information and the favorable responses to invitations to attend the sessions. Mayor C. P. Gillen of Newark who is a member of the Executive Board of the New Jersey Urban League writes: "I take pleasure in extending a cordial invitation to the League and its friends to come to Newark and hope that the Conference will be productive of much good. The Industrial plants of Newark and vicinity with several of whom the New Jersey Urban League maintains close relations thru furnishing labor and welfare workers, have in vited the Conference to visit their plants at the same time observing various methods of production. The program promises to be one of the best yet presented by the Conference, and several speakers of national note are to appear, among them. Miss Julia Lathrop, head of the Children's Bureau, Washington, D. C., Dr. R. R. Moton and Allen T. Burns President of the National Conference of Social Work. The main subject as announced is Industry and it will be handled from every possible angle, one of the most important of these being HEALTH. The subject, "How Insurance Companies May Aid in Reducing Mortality" will be presented by Louis I. Dublin Chief Statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Mr. Dublin will use as example the methods of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which is doing perhaps the most advanced work along this line and which keeps the most thorough records. A recent report of the Metropolitan Bureau of Statistics calls attention to a decrease of 9 per cent in mortality among its Negro industrial policy holders during the past nine years. Harry Pace, former secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company Atlanta, Ga., will preside at this meeting. Representatives of several colored as well as white insurance companies and health organizations will take part in the discussion. JUDGE HARRISON TO LECTURE Judge William H. Harrison, of Chicago, Illinois, will lecture at the City Auditorium, Monday night, October 11, 1920, at 8:30 P. M. under the auspices of the Community Welfare Association. The following program will be rendered: Opening song led by Orchestra; devotionals, Rev. A. A. Hector, First Presbyterian Church; song, The All Star Female Quartette; Presentation of the Speaker, Prof. Nelson Williams, Jr.; Speaker, Judge William Harrison, subject, "Cooperation;" song The All Star Female Quartette. Darius Harris, President; John S. Williams, Secretary. LET THE GHOST WALK. Reminiscent of the days of slavery when our foreparents were awed by wizard ghost stories, is the following communication received by Mrs. Mary Boyd: "MARY ROYD: This is to warn you to go back to your old service place. I have come from the grave to warn you. Go back and all will be well with you; disobey me and I will hunt you all your life. My shadow will creep upon you in darkness, in the daytime I will be at your side, but you will be unable to see me for I am but a shadow. When you hear the wind moaning in the trees, remember it is my voice. I will ever camp upon your trail and at last I will drag you down into the ground with me, so that the wormus will eat you. Wherever you go I will follow—Reware, Mary Boyd. Go back and I will go into my grave, disobey me and you will be food for worms." On its face, it seems to be an effort to arouse latent fear of the dead in the mind of Sister Boyd and force her back to her old "service place." It smacks of mild Ku Klux methods, but we are a different people now, and if Brother Ghost starts his mourning and grooming around these earthly tabernacles he might get his "bloom—ing head knocked off" and die the second death. BETTER FOOTBALL The football season in Richmond promises to be a busy and interesting one, according to reports from good sources. The old regular teams are practicing hard and whipping candidates into shape. The A. S. C., Superbas, Colonials and American Alliance are among teams that will be seen in action this Fall, and there are rumors of other teams, who will bid for the championship. The great need in this city is a centralized body to control football. The games are scheduled in any sort of a haphazard way and the season winds up with no definite champions. If we had a Football Association in control the teams would be matched in an even schedule, the record of each team would be systematically kept, the record of individual players preserved from year to year and the championship definitely and officially awarded. It is suggested that the football teams through their managers form a local football association. It would be a game of unusual interest if the football team of the Ronanoke High School could be induced to come here and play the Richmond High School. It is possible, if our boys will prepare. A young husbandman, who lives on one of our latitudinal streets, was severely beaten up a few weeks ago, by persons unknown up to the present. If the rays of light were turned on, there is a possibility of the assassins becoming known. Edward Butler shot his 15 year old wife, Mrs. Mary Butler last Tuesday. Two bullets lodged in her shoulder, but the wounds are not very serious. They lived on Lodge Street. The motive is unknown. TWO « > Ss .

Harding ts as opon “as a clock-face” in expressing his position upon all of the great questions affecting jhe American peo pie, Whereas, in some instances, you may not agree with him, yet you must necessarily admire him for his conscientious frankness. ‘This is still a world of trouble and it wil be one of more trouble ats long as the present Dem oeratic Administration remains in power, President Wilson meant well, but he was unfortunate in tho selection of those statesmen that he called to his aid yo run the scvernment. The American Federation of Labor, under the leadership of Mr, Samuel Gompers has placed it self on a plat form of equal rights and privileges that commands respect.

It has taken a stand for human rights. . President Woodrow Wilson has de: clined to filke steps yoward torminat: ton of certain commercial treaties, as -directed by Congress in tho Merchant Marine act, holding that such a course Would be wholly irreconcilable with the historical respect, which the Unit ed States has shown for its internat: iona) ongagements.

Within the past few years several appropri- ate celebrations have been held in commemoration of President Line coln's noble decd. ‘Theo events have passed into history and remain dear to the memory of a grateful people. In every war of the Nation the Ne gro has had his place. In the War of IS12( at Mexico, in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, His brav ely and loyalty have never been questioned. Nis deeds of valor and sacrifice for the honor of the Nation and per petuity of the Union have heen yold in song and story, But no monument of marble ér bronze has been erect- ed by the nation yor the race with which he is identified, to be gazed upon by future generations — and arouse in hem veneration and pride for their heroic ancestry. It is quite proper that after these Jong, long years of seeming neglect Monument should bo erected to the memory of the dead heroes of the Coiored raco, who snerifice —thoir lives upon the Altar of thelr coun try. From Boston Common to the Ar gaune covers a stretch of more than a century. ‘The story of the Negro in the wars cf America covers this long period. Instory fails to record where a grateful republic has erected a mon ument in imperishable marble or Wronze as a memorial to glorify the lerote deeds of its Negro Allies. The Nasional Memorial Association has asked the National Congress to ereet_sueh a memorial in the form et a beautiful puilding in the City of Washington, the Nation's Capital, as a fitting tribute to the memory of the Negro soldiors and sailors who fought in all the Nation's wars, We ask A grateful people to join dhe National Memorial Association, Ine. and Nelp create a nationwide sentiment such as will give the liv- ing heroes of a loyal raco an inspir ation to greater deeds in peace and to show to generations yet unborn tho Veneration in which their own raco hold hoth the living and dead heroes of 8 patriotic and loyal people, It is written in the book of fame of American soldiers that the ‘Three hundred and sixty-ninth United Stat- es Infantry, the first Negro Regi- tment to go into active service on the firing Une, never lost a prisoner, a trench o ¥ a foot of ground in a. ser vice of nearly s year on French - oil, Marching as an advanco guard of the One Hundred and — sixty-first Divis- ion of the French Second Army, it was the the first unit of allied armies to reach the Rhine after the signing of tho armistice.

In this country, neither to evoke any pledge from you as to your attitude when you become president, as we confidentially believe you will be the next president. For having watched your acts as a great christian statesman, we believe that when elected you will be the president of all the people of our great country. The platform adopted by your party and your speech o acceptance appeal to us, as we believe they do to an over whelming majority of the American people, as worthy of the hearty support of all patriotic Americans. "The people we represent are, and ever have been one hundred per cent Americans, and have proven it from the days of Crispus Attucks in Boston to the time when the news of the armistice was sounded by the bugle in Argentine Forrest barely two short years ago. We believe that it was your good nature and high sense of justice which prompted you in your speech of acceptance to acknowledge the valor of the four hundred thousand and black boys who so cheerfully put their necks under the yoke of American patriotism, to secure for all people universal democracy. These brave black boys expect as a reward for the sacrifice which they have made, all others expect as a reward; too security, protection and all the unqualified rights of American citizens as provided in the laws of our country. This much they have a right to expect and will not be satisfied with less, for the republic must be strong enough to enforce its laws if it is to survive. Every session of the convention was filled with interest. Senator Warren, delivered an address of welcome as did Governor James P. Goodrich. It was decided to erect a publishing house in Nashville, and plans were laid to raise money for that purpose. Three men were named as members of the National Baptist Publisher Board of which Dr. R. H. Boyd is secretary, the court having decided that the convention had an equity in the plant. After some discussion the charter was adopted, ratified and made active, and all boards were instructed to enact their charters to conform to it. The following officers were elected. E. C. Morris, D. D., Helena, Ark. President; W. G. Parks, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa. vice-president at large; R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., secretary T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; E. Arlington Wilson, Dallas, Texas; E. H. McDonald Pittsburgh, Pa.; J. M. Nabritt, D. D. Augusta, Ga.; assist and secretaries; A. J. Stokes, D. D. Montgomery, Ala., treasurer; C. H. Parris, D. D. Louisville, Ky., statistician; M. M. Rogers, A. M. Dallas, Texas auditor; Charles Stewart, A. M. D. D., general missionary; W. H. Moses, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa., field secretary; J. W. Bailey, D. D. Dallas Marshall, superintendent of Evangriism. The convention accepted the invitation from Olivet Baptist church, Chicago to hold its next annual seson. DAVID SEIZED BY U. S. TO SECURE LEAGUE VOTE, SAYS HARDING America Actually Making War on That Republic and San Domingo, He Asserts, Declaring Congress' Rights Usurped. Marion, Ohio, Sept. 17. (By the Associated Press) Senator Harding, in his Constitution day address here, asailed the administration's policy toward the smaller nations of the western hemisphere, asserting that the executive had usped powers to carry on an unconstitutional war with Haiti and Santo Domingo. He declared the recent utterances of Franklin D. Roosevelt the Democratic nominee for Vice President, had revealed officially for the first time the American government's "rape" of the two little republics. "How can we," the nominee said, "in reason and with confidence make sure of fulfilling our mission on earth? The first step is plain. We must strictly maintain and scrupulously observe, in letter and in spirit, the mandates of the Constitution of the United States. We are not doing so now. We are at war not alone with Germany but actually with the little, helpless republics of our own hemisphere. The wars upon our neighbors to the south were made and are still being raged, though never declared, through the usurpation by the executive of powers not only never bestowed upon him but scrupulously withheld by the Constitution. ROOSEVELT'S "OFFICIAL AD- Mission." 'Of the fact there can be no question. It is admitted even boasted of, by the Democratic candidate for Vice President between whom, if elected and the Presidency itself, would be but a single life. You know, he said to the people of Montana as his words were quoted by the press. 'I have had something to do with the running of a couple of little republics. The fact is that I wrote Haiti's constitution myself and if I do say it, I think it is a pretty good constitution. Until last week I had two votes in the league assembly, now secretary Daniels has them. To the best of my information this is the first official admission of the rape of Hayiyt and Sauto Domingo by the present administration. To my mind, moreover, it is the most shocking assertion that ever emanated from a responsible member of the government of the United States. True we know little of the conduct of these wars of occupation and the imposition of laws upon our helpless neighbors. The censorship is no less strict than it was during the secreta conferences and conspiracles in Paris. Practically all we know now is that thousands of native Haytians have been killed by American marines and that many of our own galent men have sacrificed their lives at the behest of an executive department in order to establish laws drafted by an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, to secure a vote in the league and continue at the point of the bayo net a military domination which at this moment requires the presence of no less than 3,000 of our armed men on the foreign soil. CONSTITUTION OR COVENANT. Vastly more important and far more menacing to our own popular institutions than even this distressing example is the proposal to transfer for by indirection the chief prerogative of one department of the government to another. As all are well aware the Constitution vests in Congress exclusively the power to declare war, but it also declares that a duly executed treaty shall be the supreme law of the land. Under Article X of the Versailles covenant now being subjected to a solemn referendum it would be the appointee and representative of the President not of Congress nor of the people who would either acquiesce in or reject a proposition in the council of the league to uphold by force of arms the cause of one power against another. The Constitution or the covenant—that, my countrymen is the parkmount issue. The two are irreconcilable. We cannot be governed from both Geneva and Washington. We cannot follow our present chief magistrate without forsaking the "father of our country." We cannot pin our faith to hazy visions of the future without putting out of mind the stern realities of the vast."
