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.

MES CHARITY'S STATEMENT To whom it may concern: At the last session of the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., which met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 7, 8, the terms of several of the Supreme Officers expired; some of the officers are elected every four years, while others are elected each year. In the Executive Committee meeting when the place of the Supreme Secretary came up for consideration, which place I had occupied for six years, The Supreme Master stated that a clause was no easy to be made for the good of the Order. After the adjournment of the Executive Committee, when the nomination came up to the Supreme Lodge those 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 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. Had I been allowed to go into the Executive Committee and explain my life of the race, as he had done, I could have vindicated my self. I was not in this meeting. I am informed that one 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 8 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.

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. The Secretary of State is to reply to the Secretary of State's demand for a public fund and not more money in that Council and the Council of the National Laboratory, of importance of the Manages and Admiral Knapp had been appointed to Haiti to investigate.

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.

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. We may not have been great ornizers 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. Learn Stenography and Typewriting.

Atwell is Field Director has just completed a two weeks school and conference for its colored workers from all sections of the country. The sessions were held at the Red Circle Community Club, OO Clay street and were under the direction of Mr. Attwell and Mr. James Edward Rogers, National Director of Training Schools and Conferencers. These men were ably assisted by Mr. T. S. Settle, Special District Representative, and a large staff of specialists in community music, community drama and pageantry, and all other phases of community life found in the leisure time field. Inspiring lectures were given by prominent citizens of Richmond and Virginia among whom were Dr. H. H. Hibbs Director of the School of Social Work and Public Health Judge J.

Norrell and Miss Blanche Wright of the Richmond Community Service did much to add to the success of the school and the comfort and happiness of the students while in Richmond. The school was voted by faculty and students alike to be one of the most successful ever held by Community Service. Community Service is making a special effort to enter all communities where there is an appreciable number of colored people and to help them on to more successful and happier lives through its program of supervised play and organized leisure time. JOHNSON BOXES IN JAIL. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 21.—Jack Johnson former heavyweight champion now serving sentence for violation of the Mann act, made his first appearance in the ring at the Federal postentary here today when he boxed three bouts of three rounds each with three other inmates. Johnson appeared to be in good condition. MRS. CHARITY'S STATEMENT To Whom It May Concern: 10 Without it any excuse. At the last session of the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., which met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 7—9, the terms of several of the Supreme Officers expired; some of the officers are elected every four years while others are elected each year. In the Executive Committee meeting when the place of the Supreme Secretary came up for consideration, which place I had occupied for six years. 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.

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.

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.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Five Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .00 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY,....OCTOBER 2, 1920 Some people like to go "home" but they receive, the more they spend. Some people line up to go "home," but it is always some other person's home. Radical reforms have their handicaps and embarrassments that return to plague those, who put them into effect. You will find it a difficult task to save money these times, but you might as well proceed to perform this difficult task. Two disagreeable people living to together make the atmosphere in their immediate presence suffocating for both of them. Candidate James M. Cox is in a position where he cannot run with out the support of President Wilson and his Administration and he can not win with it. Colored women are registering in large numbers here. Let us hope that they will not have the experience of their male friends In exercising the right of franchise at the polls. Senator Warren G. Harding is as open "as a clock-face" in expressing his position upon all of the great questions affecting the American people. 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 will be one of more trouble as long as the present Democratic Administration remains in power. President Wilson meant well, but he was unfortunate in the selection of those statesmen that he called to his aid to run the government. The American Federation of Labor, under the leadership of Mr. Samuel Gompers has placed it self on a platform of equal rights and privileges that commands respect. White colored men may not support it in all of its policies, they should respect with reverence its precepts and to say nothing derogatory of the great organization. It has taken a stand for human rights. President Woodrow Wilson has declined to fake steps toward termination of certain commercial treaties, as directed by Congress in the Merchant Marine act, holding that such a course would be wholly irreconcilable with the historical respect, which the United States has shown for its international engagements. He claims that the Congress exceeded its authority in giving such instructions. It looks to us that while this may be true so far as it relates specifically to the Congress, it is not true, when the act of the Congress has been officially approved by the presidential signature which presidential signature made the act within the power of the two approving powers. The power that President Wilson said that the Congress did not possess, he as Chief Executive of the Nation did possess. It is strange then that he should take this attitude at such a time and in such a manner. Certainly what he says now should have been encouched in a veto message disapproving the act of the Congress that encroached upon the rights and powers of the Executive Department of the Government. But then, those are strange times and some of our officials have a peculiar method of dealing with great questions. To the average mind, the President's attitude may be the best for the country, but it is somewhat disconcerting and cubarrassing to people, who believe in square dealing and the most direct route to accomplish great reforms. EDITOR HESTER'S CRITICISMS. Our esteemed contemporary, the Philadelphia, Pa., Christian Review insists that we were misled in our comments upon that journal's attitude towards the very able Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham and his connection with the establishment of that journal. We stand corrected with reference to anything relating to the Christian Review for the very good reason that we do not know anything about it and we do not profess to know. The editor of the Christian review, we think makes the mistake of confounding our article upon great principles with the establishment of that journal. We were dealing with principles and not men. Our primary motive and purpose was to sound a warning against the spirit of unfriendiness in the Baptist ranks. We do not believe that this is any time for our leaders to be engaging in unseemly squabbles. This applies with equal force to both parties to the controversy. We have always admired the brilliant Philadelphia pulpiteer for his interests in the Baptists in general and the members of his race in particular. Our contemporary does not answer specifically the charges that Dr. Graham has made. He does not submit evidence or positively deny that they are true. We did not intend to inject ourselves into the controversy. We hope that Virginians and southerners generally who went North will have peace amongst themselves and then they will have peace amongst the whige folks in their dealing with them. --- A WORD ABOUT JACK JOHNSON Jack Johnson, the former heavyweight champion is now in the United States prison at Leavenworth, Kansas as a director or instructor in athletics, whatever that may mean. We have been inside of that great institution ourselves and we found it to be more like an institution of learning than it is like a prison. The priors have base-ball grounds and even a theatre for their recreation. If he had to go behind the bars anywhere in the world no better place could have been selected. He will have only about eight months of his time to serve. Evidently, it was the result of a compromise and when he comes out next May, he will have untold sums of money awaiting him in the show-houses of the country. A tour through the United States would not him a fortune. Despite his many errors of omission and commission, Jack Johnson is still a favorite with 'he under world and he holds a high place in the hearts and minds of many of those in the upper world. A METHODIST CHURCH'S TROURLES. Molligion on the part of some people is a sham and the pretense of the observance of the teachings and principles of the good and lowly Jesus a mockery. Churches are so corrupt in many instances that only now and then when the test comes are they placed in a position where they must necessarily show it. It seems that Bishop Heard of the A. M. E. Church made an appointment at the Bethel A. M. E. Church that was distasteful to a large majority of the parishoners. They refused to accept the appointee and the following description of his reception is interesting. New York, Sept. 17.—Conditions at Bethel A. M. E. Church continuo chotic. Sunday morning Rev. Thorn ten still clinging to his pulpit, attempted to conduct the services. During the entire service the faction opposed to the new pastor continued to interrupt. At times they would stand up in the pews and talk loudly, and when the pastor began to preach several of the worshippers started to sing a hymn. Rev. Thornton finally gave it up. Escorped by the police, the opposed minister again appeared Sunday night to preach a sermon to the G. U. O. O. F. of St. John. This time he succeeded fairly well. Inside the church eight plain clothes policemen were on hand, while outside three uniformed men were necessary. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA keep order. On both occasions as Rev. Thornton left the church he was hissed. It may be that Bishop Heard showed poor judgment in his selection, but the parishoners showed a poor judgment in their acceptance of the divine appointed. People, know the rules of the A. M. E. Church. It is well-nigh an ablute monarchy in the matter of ministerial appointments. Baptists have their squabbles where they have a so-called pure democracy. Let us hope that reason will be enthroned and common-sense hold sway. Bishop Heard cannot be removed just now and Bishop Heard is the only one who can remove an objectionable pastor. The protesting members are doing Bethel A. M. E. Church more harm than they are doing either the pastor appointed or the Bishop., who ap pointed him. It would be well for them to attack the system under which they live rather than the individuals, who administer that system. Certain it is that true religion is as much as a stranger in some of these A. M. E. Churches as it has been found to be in many of the Baptist churches now in operation throughout this land. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The past few weeks have witnessed one of the most remarkable exhibitions of political interest staged in this city for more than a decade. The long lines of men, who vainly attempted to vote at the Jackson Ward precincts in years gone by have been changed to long lines of women at tempting to register in order to exercise the right of franchise. The leaders of the movement have been on guard and at times there have been discordant notes relative to the mode and methods of registration. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, one of the ablest and most popular colored women in the United States of America, has taken her time and necessarily her means to aid in the work. Her task has just begun for the work of voting these women will be more onerous in the political days that are to come, than has been this work of registration. To say that her task was well done goes without saying. In the meantime, Attorney J. R. Polard, the recognized and duly elected chairman of colored people's political interests in Virginia has been faithful performing his duty, but not with out some friction with the forces on the other side, so to speak. Mrs. Ora B. Stokes has also been vigilant and active and as a result many names have been added to the list. In the background of all of this we have been informed is the remarkable figure, Col. Giles B. Jackson, who is alleged to be at the bottom, so to speak of this agitation that has brought about the activities on the part of the other leaders. We are interested to know if these political forces will act in concert, or will they assume antagonistic attitudes one towards the other, while the interests of the colored people suffer. Will petty jealousies be in evidence or will they agree among themselves and work for the interests of the masses of our people? We hope so. When we notice the improvements being made in every section of the city, except that portion occupied by our people, with a high school building that is a disgrace to the colored people of this city, in general and to the people of Richmond in particular, we are forced to ask, when will these little groups of colored folks come together and under one same leadership endeavor to accomplish something in this city and State worthy of the name? We heard much talk about a colored settlement for colored folks, financed by the white folks with aid for those who might prove themselves worthy, but all of this has gone "a glimmering." while the white folks who talked about it have gotten tired even of talking. The trouble about these movements is that they are too sporadic and they last only for today and tomorrow.

Children love its delicious fruity taste. Full directions for child's dose on each bottle. Give it without fear. Mother! You must say "California- YOUWOULDN'TTRY TO TAME A WILD-CAT Mr. Dodson Warns Against Use of Treacherous, Dangerous Calomel. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel billous, headache, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty, calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. ARTHUR D. JOHNSON WANTED. Wanted to know the whereabouts of Arthur D.

THE DILL COMPANY, Norristown, Pa. --- THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. Mr. F. D. Loe, President and Mr. James H. Howard, Financial Secretary (ot Washington, D. C.) representing the National Memorial Association Inc., for the erection of a memorial building at the Capital of the Nation to commemorate the heroic deeds of the Negro soldiers and sailors who fought in all the wars of America, and the late World War, addressed the Teach Anna. Convention of the Order of Good Shepherds at 6th Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., Wednesday night September 8th. This order has proven to be one of the most progressive fraternal organizations known among our people. Having been organized only ten years ago, it has a membership of over 5,000, comprising the States of Mary land Virginia and Pennsylvania. Much enthusiasm was evinced, and the Order pledged its support in a very substantial way to the movement, Lawyer J. Thomas Hewin* Commissioner of the National Memorial Association for the State of Virginia and head of the Order, presided. Attorney Hewin not only pledged the support of the body in session, but urged up on the subordinate lodges to use their influence in several sections to aid in urging Congress to pass the bill now pending before that body asking that a site be selected and an appropriation given for the erection of a memorial. The church was packed to the doors, many of those pres ent joining the Association. The following is the address delivered by Mr. F. D. Lee President of the National Memorial Association Inc.— More than a half century ago the Martyred Lincoln wrote the Emanuel pation Proclamation that gave freedom to the slaves of America. Immediately following that memorable event the Civil War closed. Within the past few years several appropriate celebrations have been held in commemoration of President Lincoln's noble deed. These events have passed into history and remain dear to the memory of a grateful people. In every war of the Nation the No gro has had his place. In the War of 1812 at Mexico, in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War. His bravery and loyalty have never been questioned. His deeds of valor and sacrifice for the honor of the Nation and perpetuity of the Union have been told in song and story. But no monument of marble or bronze has been erected by the nation nor the race with which he is identified, to be gazed upon by future generations and arouse in them veneration and pride for their heroic ancestry. It is quite proper that after these long, long years of seeming neglect a monument should be erected to the memory of the dead heroes of the Colored race, who sacrifice their lives upon the Altar of their country. From Boston Common to the Argonne covers a stretch of more than a century. The story of the Negro in the wars of America covers this long period. History fails to record where a grateful republic has erected a monument in imperishable marble or bronze as a memorial to glorify the heroic deeds of its Negro Allies. The National Memorial Association has asked the National Congress to erect such a memorial in the form of a beautiful building in the City of Washington, the Nation's Capital, as a fitting tribute to the memory of the Negro soldiers and sailors who fought in all the Nation's wars. We ask a grateful people to join the National Memorial Association, Inc. and help create a nation-wide sentiment such as will give the living heroes of a loyal race an inspiration to greater deeds in peace and to show to generations yet unborn the veneration in which their own race hold both the living and dead heroes of a patriotic and loyal people. It is written in the book of fame of American soldiers that the Three hundred and sixty-ninth United States Infantry, the first Negro Regiment to go into active service on the firing line, never lost a prisoner, a trench or a foot of ground in a service of nearly a year on French oil, Marching as an advance guard of the One Hundred and sixty-first Division of the French Second Army, it was the first unit of allied armies to reach the Rhine after the signing of the armistice. The regiment had 191 days in front-line trenches, which is believed to be a record among American units. The regiment never fought in an American brigade or division, but as a part of the French Army. No matter where they fought they fought and as colored troops of the United States have always fought "nobly." Fort Wagner and Kettle Hill and northern Mexico know the record of their gallantry. And now Europe knows it. The report of Provost Marshal General Crowder shows that the physical condition of the Negroes drafted into service was five per cent, higher than that of white soldiers; that the total number of colored registrants reached 2,290,527; that there were no "con scientious objectors" among them. Four hundred thousand Negroes were under arms in the late conflict of whom 200,000 or more went over seas. Those who have returned and those who were in camp here like other American soldiers have again resumed their peaceful occupations and pursuits; and they now stand ever ready to defend Old Glory the noblest and most beautiful flag of all the nations, the golrious Stars and Stripes. These men and the race of which they are a part turn to the nation and ask that there be erected such a memorial as shall forever convince them of the gratitude of the greatest Republic of all times. There were 20,000 Negro troops, fully equipped and well drilled up on the declaration of War. Ten thousand of these troops were in the Regular Army and the other 10,000 were attached to the National Guard of the several States. The total number of casualties in the Ninety-second Division were 1,543; killed in action, 208. There were no "conscientious objectors," no traitors, no conspirators against the nation. Nono were convicted under the espionage laws. They were 100 per cent. American without the hypen. They contributed to every war activity. It is estimated that over 3,000 colored people fought in the Revolutionary War 3,000 in the War of 1812; 178 975 in the Civil War, and 13,617 in the Spanish-American War, and now where do we find any statement that they did not acquit themselves well. These men, who offered their lives to the service of their country, are deserving of a better fate than that they should continue to be "unwept, unhonored, and unsung." The gratitude of a nation is due to the men of color who have so nobly given their services and their lives to their country. No form of recognition has been accorded these men as a whole in keeping with the service they have rendered. They have not died in vain whose memories are kept alive by a shaft or a memorial ordered by Congress. Such an honor would be an inspiration to a people unused to praise for a praise wertay service. Twelve hundred Negroes passed through the officers' training camps and received commissions, for the first time in the history of the nation. They were then admitted into every branch of the military service excepting the Marine Corps and Aviation sections. Their bravery and fighting qualities have been recognized and attested by all of the allied powers and by a liberal bestowal of war decoration in the way of medals for distinguished services. It is quite proper that after these long years of seeming neglect, a monument should be erected to the memory of the dead heroes of the Colored race who sacrificed their lives upon the Aitar of their country. The National Memorial Association, Inc., contemplate the erection by the American Congress of a memorial building in Washington, D.C., the Capital of the Nation, a memorial worth-while in commemoration of of the Negro Soldiers and Sailors who have fought in all the wars of Ameri ca. Each city has its own problems of course, and it is but natural that Washington, the city of magnificent architecture, should not be satisfied with any ordinary memorial of the war. A beautiful building should be erected, every night of which could be utilized to depict some feature of historical events to which the Negro has participated. Space should be reserved for tablets from the several States to commemorate men and women of the race whose deeds entitle them to honorable mention. Such a building dedicated to the dead and living heroes of the Negro Race, Congress is called upon to erect. The bill, asking Congress for the a site and an appropriation of $500, 000 to erect a memorial building in honor of the Colored Soldiers and Sailors who fought in all the wars of the Nation, and in the World War was referred to the Library Committee early in the present session of Congress and the Committee granted the National Memorial Association a hearing on October 14, 1919. From 1652 to 1919, Negroes have responded to the call of their country in the hours of peril; and where ever he has been placed by those in authority over him, he has given the strongest proof of devotion to his country and loyalty to its flag. Your committee has only to refer to the heroic conduct of Crispus Attucks in charging the British in State street, Boston, Mass., March 5, 1770 which act precipitated the great struggle out of which was born the Independence of the Thirteen Colonies and since then developed into the mightiest republic on the Western Hemisphere; of John Davis and John Johnson who signalized themselves with Perry on the Lakes, and whose splendid courage in that engagement in which both were horribly mutilated, evoked from Governor Tompkins who reported the incident, "When America has such tars, she has little to fear of the tyrants of the seas;" of Peter, Salem on BunkerHill; of the Black Regiment raised by Col. Christopher Green, the hero of Red Bank, of whom Governor Eustis, Secretary of War under Jefferson, said: "They discharged their duty with zeal and fidelity; of Andrew Jackson's appeal to the men of color of Louisiana by proclamation September 1814, to rally to the defense of their country; of the gallant charge of the black phalanx at Fort Pillow, Fort Fisher and the Crater in the Civil War; of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry at San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War; of the succession of heroic and gallant deed by Negro urbits in the greatest of World Wars on the battlefields of Europe. All these acts of courage plead in eloquent tone for justice for the marrytied dead who gave heir all for God and Country.

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 recommenl 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.

MILLER, Highland Park, Richmond, Va ```markdown ``` FOUR NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION Indianapolis, Ind.—The National Baptist convention has just closed its fortress annual session in this city, which is said to be one of the greatest in its history and was attended by fully $8000 people from all parts of by fully 8,000 people from all parts of the country. One of the features of the convention was the appointment of a committee of 200 to confer with Senator Warren G. Harding, Marion, Ohio ro public nominee for president of the United States. The delegation was headed by President E. C. Morris of Helena and Secretary R. B. Hudson of Schuyla, Ala. In speaking for the convention and the committee, among other things, Dr. Morris said: "We are not here to ask any special favors as a separate and distinct race. 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."
