WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXVII, NO. 49 NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. Washington, D. C., Oct. S.—One of the most successful sessions of the National Race Congress and far reaching in its results has just closed. People were here from all parts of the country and a strong effort will be put to the future to make right some of the wrongs heaped upon the race, and an Executive Secretary will be employed, and a department opened in Washington, where every interest of the race will be watched. There was all but a little sensation when Dr. W. H. Jernagin, the president accused the state of Alabama of being in rebellion against the United States and said that the Gov't etirement would have to enforce law or go down in disgrace. "I am an American citizen," declared Dr. Jernagin, and I stand for law and order; and an insult to this flag is an insult to every American citizen. It was but yesterday so to speak that the United States gave to the American women the ballot; and now comes today Alabama and recruits to register women because of their race or color. Now comes the best. Walt Alabama obey the codes or not. United States, or will the United States obey Alabama? This is our another one of the enumerative codes so snow intergated and married so snow, and yet there are No. 258 beaten, enough to vote for our candidate. The Congress opened Monday night with a sermon by Bishop L. N. Cross of Washington whose episcopal supervision is at Arkansas, the behead his sermon from Duel 281. He said that it was not clear to him why he was selected to deliver the message at the opening of the Congress. He was glad that in this busy age there were some who would find time to stop to serve God. That those who met around the Peace Table in France, thought that it was possible for them to do the work without Jesus Christ, hence his chair was vacant. Bishop Ross outlined the work in the sermon to be done and pointed out a bright future for the race, but the Negro would have to win his place, and not depend on others to bring it to him on a silver platter. Following the strong practical sermon a collection was lifted. It was 10:30 Tuesday morning when Dr. W. H. Jermagin called the Race Congress to order in 18th annual season and the opening prayer was made by chapulin, the Rev. Dr. Cheeks of New Jersey and remarks were made by the Rev. Dr. H. J. Cal his chairman of the executive committee. The Rev. W. O. Carrington D. D., pastor of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church was the first speaker extending welcome to the church turning over to the Congress the keys of the church which would unlock the pocketbooks of the people as well. He is an able speaker. J. A. Linkfort represented the local Unit in an address of welcome; J. Finley Wilson represented the local press and all the addresses were responded to by the Rev. Dr. C. H. Stephan of Baltimore. Several al committees were announced and the Congress tour recess for dinner, in the afternoon "Diffranchisement was discussed; the discussion was opened by the Rev. E. D. W. Jones of Washington who told of many evils resulting from distranchisement. He showed how men without a ballot were reduced to childhood. He was followed by Charles Stewart of Chicago who said that it was time for the Negro to stop lying and come straight. He de clared that too many things had gone from the race by those who wanted to be regarded as race leaders or something else and said that the curse go the Negroes politics. "Let the Negro vote and vote every time the polls open." Bishop L. N. Ross, Dr. W. Augus tus Jones of itsburg and many other spokes on the subject. The feature of the afternoon sea-sision was the address delivered by President W. H. H. Jernagin which took up every phase of the work. He was presented by Vice-President Bishof L. N. Ross as an unselfish worker, a leader, a man who was doing more than talk, and a man who was doing more and sacrificing more for his people than any other one man. This young giant was given an ovation. The address was, a Literary sum. full of wisdom and philosophy. He pointed the way out of darkness into light. I dealt with the franchise, and it was in this address where Dr. Jern agin handled Alabama and all the other states who would rob the Nego out of his weapon—the one placed in the hands of an American citizen to protect his life and property. The address brought forth many expositions of approval, and was referred to a special committee. The principal address in the evening was delivered by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of the Crisis, New York, Judge robert H. Terrell, of Washington delivered an address of wel come. The first drive for one hundred persons to gibe one hundred dollar each was made with good reutils. The money thus raised is to be used to establish headquarters. That which points to be the future hope of the American Negro perhaps not as his home, but to give him standing even in his own native land, was discussed by Dr. Ernest Lyons of Baltimore. Perhaps no man in the country is better prepared to talk about Liberia and its Relation to the United States than Dr. Lyons and his address was frightened with information and opened the eyes of those who heard him is nothing else. It showed the race a new responsibility to Liberia, the country which had been mistreated and almost misled. He spoke of the Liberian Government being forced in to the world war. In this connection Dr. Lyons said: Liberia entered the struggle against the German Empire two years after the declaration of war by Crout Britain and France and less than three months after the United States had joined the forces with the Allies the history of those 2 years prior to her entrance, is one of international and commercial persecution and diplomatic Blackmailing which reduced the Republic to the verge of bankruptcy and starvation. Her merchants were put upon the black list by the British Government and her vessels were forbidden to bring provisions or carry her products to European markets. She was charged with pro-German sympathies and indirectly threatened with territorial dismemberment by the allied powers holding territory contiguous to her. There was no alternative for Liber in whether she so desired or not, how ever not only with the understanding that she was to receive protection from the common enemy, but entered with the same knowledge and approvals of the United States Government of the United States Government. There was a division in sentiment to begin with on the attitude of the Government in its declaration of war against the German Empire. The address of Dr. Lyons called for serious thought and it was so regarded and considered. Each session of the conference was freighted with interest. No phase of social condition in this country went unnoticed. Dr. W. H. Jeremiah was continued as president and Dr. C. H. Stephanus as Secretary. ```markdown ``` ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM Escaped from Central State Hospital, Petersburg, Va. August 7, 1920 3:30 P. M.

Why Listen to the Wind? DON'T BOTHER ME! I'M BUSY. BIG DOINGS BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR THE NEGRO VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET MIGRATION OF NEGROES MAY PROVE BIG ELECTION FACTOR Many Thousands Hitherto Distranchied in Solid South Now Will Vote and May Swing Pivotal States. Both Parties at Work to Swing Them With Advantage for the Republics by Reason of Tradition and Organization. (By J. A. Jackson.) A recent survey shows that the Negro migration into northern and central States during the last six years has been of sufficient consequence to make these migrants an important factor in the coming Presidential campaign. Investigation discloses that many Negroes have definitely settled and are qualified to vote in some pivotal States. Grandfather clauses in the State Constitutions, education and property requirements and other legislative devices have in the last quarter of a century almost eliminated the Negro from politics in the Southern States. In such a manner was created the "solid South" of Democratic stability. The Negro vote has only been of consequence in comparatively few states; and the degree of interest with which it was cultivated depended upon the degree of closeness of the local contests. Since the Negro is traditionally Republican about the only effort accorded was such as was necessary to overcome his tendency to neglect the payment of poll tax and his forgetting to register. Several States with large electoral votes are already being claimed by both of the leading parties. It is in some of these States that the Negro migrant si disturbing calculations based upon the election returns of other years. MEANS NO LOSS ELSEWHERE The importance of this Negro addition to the voting strength of such States as went Democratic by small pluralities in 1916 is casupl apparent. This accretion to the Republican registry lists is of more than passing significance, since the added votes in most cases, represent no corresponding loss in the states from whence they have come. The loss of industrial manpower because of the total shutoff of Europe 'an immigration in 1914 coupled with the exodus of gandons to their native lands, and the subsequent demands of wartime manufacturing, was relieved by sending labor agents in to the South. Thus a hitherto unused source of labor was tapped. "The Caucasian tobacco interest were among the first to adopt this expedient, and for the last five years they have obtained the same morning services of young colored students. The New York Urban League we supervised this movement and results were satisfactory enough to warrant continuing the practice. It is reported that last year many of the men brought their families and effects, establishing permanent homes in Connecticut. Others who had spent a season were so influenced by what they had observed of the North as to again come to New England after they had completed their course at school. The industrial secretary of the Urban League says that an industrial survey just completed discloses evidence of a goodly increase in the number of colored residents in Danbury, New Haven, Bridgeport and in the smaller towns of the adjoining counties. Many have abandoned their first job for personal service and for other employment more to their liking. The indications are that they have become fixtures. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was the next large scale employer of Southern labor. The company had in operation at one time more than sixty labor camps. Each camp accommodated from 50 to 600 men. The Pennsylvania, Erie, New York Central, in fact all of the big railroads followed suit in short order; as did such industrial concerns as the United States Steel Corporation, the American Brass Company, the stockyard interests and the great automobile factories. The class of men secured by the agents were not always of the highest type; in fact some of them were decidedly poor workmen, more or less trifling. Quite a few of them drifted out of the gang formation and the bunkhouses into jobs of their own selection and have remained in the North not always, however, in the partier bar community to which they had been transported. SOLDIERS STAYED IN THE NORTH Returning soldiers furnished a quotation to the ranks of Northern citizenship). About 40 per cent. of the Southern draftsors either remained in cities. contiguous to a Northern camp or if discharged in the South camp nor if quickly as possible. Some of them did not even visit their homes, but took the equivalent of their trans portation and applied it to reach the desired destination. Stories of oppression imposed up on Nerro soldiers who had been to France by some of the rural citizens of the South were given wide publicity by the Negro press. Such news was often the deciding influence with young men already attracted what they had seen in passing or bad heard from recruits who knew the North. Many other mirrants were newly married Negroes, whose parents have sent them North with funds for a fair start in life. The parents in these intances, being too old to indulge in a change of lifetime habits have been glad to devote their war period cotton profits to advance the political and social interests of their children. Northern cities have received thousands of these newlyweds since armistice day. About 2,000 colored men and women reported to the Government in response to the nation wide request for medical workers needed for war activity. Because of the policy of the Administration many of these Neptune not accepted even though they had passed required civil service examinations. Those who happened to secure appointments were among the that to be demobilized. Few of each or lot returned to the South Instead they scattered to Northern cities. The expansion of Negro business entered provided employment for their abilities. The list and most durable type of Southern migrant is the great number of middle aged Negroes who were at one time employed upon construction contracts at such places as Norfolk, Nitro, W. Va., Brunswick, Ala., Jacksonville, Fla. and Muscle Shoals, Ala. for wages for exceeding the scale for which they had previously worked. It is impossible to place any estimate upon the number of those folks who in this manner earnel the money with which to finance the removal of their families to Northern cities. The service records at the plants served at once, as a reference and a creator of the necessary confidence for such a venture. Without seeking them the writer has encountered representatives of this group in a dozen different cities. Some of them were acquaintances at either mansion plants or camps. The people are of the more intelligent type, and are seeking political opportunity for themselves and better educational facilities for their children. Their presence will have an appreciable effect upon the election. A national Negro weekly, the Chicago Defender and The Crisis, a monthly, both have for a long time conducted editorial campaigns encouraging this class of self-capitalized migrant. Of course many of these are arriving at their Northern destinations too late to qualify for participation in this year's election. They will, how ever, prove an asset to the party in that the $ will influence the more derelict of the earlier arrivals, who but for such pressure might neglect their opportunities, notwithstanding the efforts of practical politicians. There is a nationwide dissatisfaction among colored people with treatment accorded them by Mr. Wilson Administration. This feeling amounts to a positive resentment with those who experienced the discriminations practised in centres of government service during the war. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has through its local organizations collected complete data upon this subject. The information is tabulated in the general office and is kept up to date by constant revision. The Bureau of Record and Research of Tuskegee compiles a year book from similar information. The latter obtains its knowledge from Southern sources and the other more directly from Northern cities. These institutions are so interested in Negro affair as to give responsibility to their views. Facts have been obtained from both sources and supplemented by observations in a mannered by observations in a number of cities. RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS "Seasiders" Are in Good Form—Charles P. Howard Added Coaching Staff (Charles H. Williams.) Hampton, Va., October With the return of several Varsity players, Hampton's outlook on the gridiron is brighter than for several seasons. Football enthusiasm is already running high among the "Seasiders," who are determined to build up a team like those which represented the "Blue and White" in the pre war days. The reversal of form last year has spurred on the football squad to pro Hampton again on the athletic map. In the first practice game with the Naval Base held on Saturday, October 2, the Hampton Institute team showed possibilities of becoming a machine that will have to be reckoned with in the big games. The coaching staff is augmented this fall by Charles P. Howard, a former football and baseball star from Drake University, Des Moines Iowa, Mr. Howard was a star on the Drake team. He brings a wealth of football experience with him from the Middle West. Hampton's schedule is composed of games with all teams in the Collegiate Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The schedule is as follows: Shaw University at Hampton October 23. Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg October 26. Lincoln University at Hampton November 6. Howard University at Washington November 12. Union University at Hampton Thanksgiving Day, November 2) Hoopla-- Circus Day Almost Here RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY GREAT DOUBLE. SHOWS ARE IMPATIENT LY AWAITED. The worlds two most famous circuses now merged into one and will exhibit at Richmond. Wednesday, October 27. It would seem as though everybody in this locality were planning to attend. The very name of the great new circus Ringling Brothers and Hermann & Bailey Combined has been sufficient to arouse far more interest than has ever before been shown in the coming of any amusement enterprise. And word from the Ringling Brothers, who are the directors of this gigantic circus, is to the effect that those who attend the performances will witness the greatest program ever presented in America. This is likewise true of the mammoth street parade, which will positively take place showday morning the mammoth menagerie and all else connected with this biggest of all amusement institutions. The famous showmen have made a complete survey of both the great circuses and merged the finest and best of each into one. Hundreds upon hundreds of performers will appear in the gigantic mainstage. There will be scores upon scores of the cleverest dumb actors. A got gorously costumed pageant of stubborns size will open the program. Great companies of characters, representing the best loved stories of fable and nursery lore will appear. There will be splendid and many groups of beautiful horses in jeweled trappings. The army of clowns exceed all past records for fun and numbers. All contribute to the biggest events in history. ATTENTION.

Both Parties at Work to Swing ‘Them With Advantage fer the Republi cans by Reason of ‘Tradition and Organization. (By J. A, Jacksen.) A recent survey shows that the Negro migration into northern and central States during the last six years hax been of sufficient conse: quence to make theso migrants an important factor in the coming Pres idential campaign. Investigation dis closes that many Negroes have de- finitely setted and are qualified to voto in some pivotal States. Grandfather clauses in the State Constitutions, education and proper- {y requirements and other legisla: Live devices have in the last quarter of a century almost eliminated the Negro from polities in the Southern States. In such a manner was ereat- ed the “solid South’ of Democratic stability, Tho Negro vote has only heen of consequence in comparateve ly few states; and the degree of in- terest with which it was cultivated ed depended upon the degree of eloso ness of the local contests. Since tho Negro is traditionally Re publican about the only effort accord- ed was such as was necessary to over come his tendency to neglect the pay ment of poll tax and his forgetting to register. Soveral States with large electoral votes aro already being claimed by both of the leading parties. It is in somo of these States that the Negro migrant si disturbing calculations based upon the election roturns of other years. MEANS NO LOSS ELSEWHERE, ‘Tho importance of this Negro addi tion to the voting strength of such States as went Demoeratie by small piuralities in 1916 is easilp apparent. This accretion to the Republican reg istry lists is of moro than passing significance, sinee the added votes in most. cases, represent no correspond ing loss in the states from whence thoy have como. ‘Tho loss of industrial manpower heeanse of the total shutoff of Burop “an immigration in 1914, coupled with the exodus of yationals to their na- five lands and the subsequent de- mands of wartime manufacturing, was relieved by sending labor agents in to the South. ‘Thus a hitherto unus: ed source of labor was tapped. "he Cariceticrt tobreco interests, were among the first to adopt this expedient, and fo r the last five years (hey cave oblained the sam: mertime services of young colored students. ‘The Now York Urban Leag ue supervised this movement and. re mts wero katistaetory endugh — to warrant continwing the practice, Tt is reported that last year many of the men brouzht thelr famites and effects, establishing permanent homes in Connecticut. Others who had spent A season were so influenced by what they had observed of the North as to again come to New England after Moy had completed their course at school. ‘The industrial secretary of the Ur- Tan Teagno says that an industrial survey just completed discloses evi- deneo of a goodly inerease in the num. ber of colored residents in Danbury, New Haven, Mridgepoprt and in the stiller towns of the adjoining coun ties. Many have abandoned — their first jobs for personal service and, for other employment more to. their lik ing. ‘The indications are that they have become fixtures. ‘ie Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was the next large scale employer of Southern labor. ‘The eom pany had in operation at one’ time more than sixty labor camps. Each camp accommodated from 50 to 606 men. ‘Tho Pennsylvania, Erie, Néw York Central, in fact all of the big railroads followed suit in short. or- der; as did such industrial concerns as the United States Stecl Corpora tion, the American Brass Company, the stockyard interests and the great ainjomobile factories.

Stories uf oppression Imposed up on Negro soldiors who had been to Franco by some of the rural citizens of the South were given wide public ity by the Negro press. Such news was often the deciding influence with young men already attracted by what they had seen fn passing or jad heard from. reeruits who knew the North. Many other migrants were newly married Negroes, whoso parents havo sent them North with funds for a fair start in life. ‘The parents in these Intances, being (oo old to ine dulge In a change of lifetime habits: have been glad to devote their war pertod colton profits to advance the political and soctal interests of their children. Northern cities have recely ed thousands of these newlyweds since armistice day. About 3,000 colored _men and wo: men reported to the Government in response (0 the nation wide request for clerical workers necded for war activities. Because of the policy of the Administration many of tese Were nol accepted even thonsh they had passed required civit servien ex- aminations, ‘Those who happened to secure appointments were among the fist to be demobilized, Pew of eith for let returned to the South. Tustead they scattered to Northern cities, ‘The expansion of Negro business enter- prises provided employment for their abilittes. ‘ The last and most durable type of Southern migrant is the great num hor of middlo aged Negroes who were sl one Ume employed upon constrne- {ion contracts at such places as Nor folk, Nitro, W. Va,, Brunswick, Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla, and Musele Shoals, Ma. for wakes “far exceeding the seale for which they had previously worked. It is impossible (o place any. esti- mate upon the munber of these folks whe in this manner earnel the mon- ey with which to finaneo the remov- al of their families to Northern ett- fos. ‘The service records at the plants served at once asa reference and a creator of the necessary confidence for such a venture, Without seeking thom the writer has encountered ro presentatives of this group in a doz eu different cities. Some of them were acquaintances at either muni: tion plants or camps. ‘The people are of the more intelli Bent type, and are secking political opportunity for themselves and bet- {cr educational facilities for their childrens. ‘Thair presenco will have an appreciable effect upon tho elec: tion. A national Negro weekly, the Chicago Defender and ‘The Crisis, a monthly, both have for a long timo conducted editorial campaigns — en- couraging this class of self-eapitaltz ed migrant, OF course many of these are arriv- ing at their Northorn destinations too lato to qualify for participation In this year's election. ‘They will, how over, prove an asset to the party in that they will influence the more derelict ‘of the earlier arrivals, who but for such pressure might neglect their opportunities, notwithstanding the efforts of practical politicians. ‘Thero is a nationwido dissatistac- Con among colored people with treat- ment accorded them by Mr. Wilsons Administration. ‘This feeling amounta to a positive resentment with thoso who experienced tho diseriminattona Practised in centres of government service during tho war. ‘Tho National Association for the Advancoment of Colored People has *hrongh its loca organizations ool: lected completo data upon this sub Jeet. ‘Tho information is tabulated In tho general office and te kept up _ te date by constant revision. ‘The Bu- rea of Record and Rosearch of Tus Kegeo compiles a year book from similar information. ‘Tho latter ob- tains its knowledge from Southern sources and the other moro direet- ly from Northern cities. ‘These insti tutions are so interested in Negro affair as to give responsibility to their viows, Facts havo been obtain cd from beth —sourees and supple: mented by observations iy a manner mented by observations in a number a aie HAMULON ANNOUNCES FOOTBALL, SCIKEDULE, “Seasiders" Are in Good Form— Charles PB.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES one Year.....$ 2.00 ax Months.....1.10 three Months.....0.00 foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY,....OCTOBER 1920 Most people talk too much and few talk too little. Some people believe in work and some others believe in laziness. We can all go to heaven, but we must certainly work to get there. Death is not a welcome guest, but he reflexes us of a lot of our troubles. Some of the churches seem disposed to compete with the movie picture houses. Some women will support some men in idleness and some men will support some women in laziness. A woman with brains and progressive ideas is worth as much as a man with money and brainy notions. Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, may be the next President of the United States but it does not look that way now. Securing a wife and purchasing an automobile are expensive luxuries that only the "well-to-do" can afford. Individuals who do not make enough to support themselves must necessarily live off the earnings of others. Hustling men usually tie up with idle women and hustling women usually engage themselves to lazy men. There are notable exceptions to these rules. There are thousands of people in the country, who believe in living easy and all of them are not colored people either. Colored people are reading race journals. Some of them read them without saying for them, but most of them pay for them. Designs the fact that we called the attention of our patrons to the high cost of newspaper and the difficulty in sourcing the same, some of them failed to read that issue of the Planet. We are still living under war conditions, although we are not at war and the resident's power is as absolute today as it was some years ago. There is one thing plainly evident this year and that is, the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President are not making any bid for the colored vote. If the white folks want a Ku Klux Klan in Richmond, then the colored folks want a Ku Klux Klan here too. What the white folks want, the colored folks want too. Preachers who do not get their salary raises right through here now will find themselves wanting. The next movement will be for a salary reduction, but that is a long way oft yet. President Woodrow Wilson has made a remarkable record. It looks though his mistakes in the foreground will serve to dim his achievements in the background Candidate Warren G. Harding is not equivocating or dodging issues. Even some of his friends are surprised at the remarkable candor that he is displaying. Most people these days are un charitable. And the remainder are charitable, that is, they say pleas ant things about their neighbors and are the last to believe unpleasant statements that may be circulated. It is about as difficult to get $2.00 per year out of some of these $200.00 a month subscribers as it is to get the same amount out of some of our $25.00 per month readers. We are referring to salary allowances. Many people in this country are constantly on the lookout to get something for nothing. This is why so many lost thousands of dollars in the Ponzi "get rich" schemes. Colored folks, whether you be North or South, East or West, make friends with the white folks around you. The time is coming when you will need both their sympathy and their friendship. A brazen woman is an abomination to a cultured man. A rough, unouth, foul-mouthed man is a veritable "eye-sore" to a cultured, well-bred woman. "And there we are!" Hon. William J. Bryan said that his heart was in the grave with the Prohibition plank that was defeated in the National Democratic Convention and it, will not be long before President Wilson will be lamenting that his heart is in the grave with the Versailles League of Nations. Colored folks should not forget it is the part of wisdom to make friends with the white people in their respective localities. They should teach their children politeness and in practicing it on colored folks, the children will exercise it in their dealings with white folks as well. We have never believed that it was the part of wisdom to incarcerate Eugene V. Debbs in the Atlanta Penitentiary. It has a tendency to make a jail sentence respectable. There are many other inmates of prisons who are just as innocent of crime as this remarkable advocate of socialism. Crooks are in their glory and honest men in large numbers are behind the bars. Some people like to take a chance, chance. They like gambling. They will take a chance on heaven by staying awful from heavenly temples on earth. They will take a chance by spending all that spending all that they earn while they are well with the hope and expectation that a charitable public will take care of them when they are sick. Oh, yes, they believe in taking a chance. From the way in which Senator Warren G. Harding now talks he must have learned much by his visits from Marion. One thing he ascertained is that Senator Hiram Johnson and Senator William E. Borah in their condemnation of the League of Nations have struck a responsive chord in the breasts of the American people. Washington's warning to avoid "entangling alliances" with European nations is a clarion call to duty. President Wodrow Wilson's clarion call to his Party did not mention THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Candidate James M. Cox In the appeal for support on election day. It caused some comment. Governor Cox has been endorsing and saying many kind things about the President, but it may be that before election day, President Wilson may speak specifically strongly in favor of Candidate Cox. By way of comment, it may be well to remark that Hon. William J. Bryan is silent. ```markdown ``` The saloon question is settled and there are no saloons in this country and yet, the prohibitionists are not satisfied. They are now claiming that some member of a Democrat Administration authorized the withdrawal from the Government bonded warhouses in San Francisco during the National Democratic Convention there forty barrels of whiskey, which the delegates enjoyed and were in good enough humor to defeat President Wilson's son-in-law, Hion. W. G. McAdoo and to nominate Boss Murphy's Tammany candidate, Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio. It is plainly evident that Governor Cox did not get any of this liquor for he was not there. Hon. William J. Bryan was there and evidently knew all about it. As a result, he is not campaigning for the nominee of the National Democratic Convention this year. One thing, of which we are convinced is that had some of these Democrats around here known in advance about that whiskey business, more of them would have crossed the continent to attend that Convention at San Francisco. THE SURGING POLITICAL TIDE. It is indeed unfortunate that there is not right here in Richmond some comprehensive, harmonious movement among the political factions and leaders among our people. We see where this leader is directing a movement and then another leader is in charge of some other movement. This woman is prominent in her activities and then some other woman is prominent in promoting some other action. Then follows an interview as to what the colored people are doing or what they propose to do, while the rank and file of the voters among our people, both male and female are to tally ignorant as to what all of this talk means. It seems to us that some means of co-operative political interest should exist under some one political body with a recognized head or heads, with no action taken by the one with out the notification or the consent of the other. So far as the political organization goes, one individual has been designated to lead the colored voters in this State. But how many colored people in Richmond recognize this action on the part of this colored political convention? We hope to see some sort of agreement reached by which petty jealousies will be subordinated to the general good and where unity of political effort will supercede this individualism in politics that seems to have full sway.

THE PARAGON TAILORING CO. Dapt. 208-214 South Green St., Chicago, IL HOUSE AND SENATE SURE SAYS CHAIRMAN S. D. FEES House Republican by at Least Fifty Three and Senate by Majority of at Least Ten. Washington, Sept. —"The next House will be Republican by at least fifty-three majority and the next Senate will be Republican by at least ten majority." declared Representative Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, after the results in Maine and the subsequent State primaries had been announced. The newly enfranchised women voters" he went on "have signified that they have repudiated the party which fooled them four years ago by specially promising to keep them out of war toward which we were in invitably tending. With tremendous majorities they have supported the Republican party, which put the suffrage amendment through both houses of Congress and provided ratification by thirty of the thirty-six State legislatures. And at the same time they proved themselves above any petty spite toward individuals who had conscientiously opposed the suffrage amendment in Congress as indicated by the great majorities rolled up for Senator Wadsworth, of New York and Senator Moses, of New Hampshire in the primaries. Another assurance of Republican success lies in the fact that the Republican primary vote is about double the Democratic primary vote. Thus in Illinois it is about three t-tone, in New York about two to one and in Ohio more than two to one. Maine points the way with unisex takable certainty. Present indications are that Cox will not carry a single State north of the Mason and Dixon line. He will lose Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. He stands to lose Nevada and Arizona and possibly Oklahoma. The present campaign is much like that of 1896. Then the complete breakdown of Democratic incompetence demanded a new issue under a new leadership. This was supplied by Bryan's free and unlimited coinage of silver. This entire Country was thrown into a wild excitement over the new issue, and not until Maine spoke could any basis for esti mates be found. That year Maine by a decisive vote indicated the direction of the political current that swept democracy out of power, until by an unfortunate division of Republicans sixteen years later the Democrats again slipped in to control. Again, after eight years trial, the complete breakdown through Democratic incipiency and wild extravagance demanded a new issue. The Wilson-Cox league of nations is the issue to cover the disasters suffered by Democratic rule, as was attempted in 1896. Maine has again spoken this time in tones that cannot be misunderstood. The result points to Cox as the worst beaten man in the history of our elections. His style of campaign indicates his own fears as well as the inevitable results of the methods employed. Ohio this year as in 1896 will follow Maine's lead. It will be a Republican tandemslide and the full effect will be felt in the White House the Senate, the House and the State executives and legislatures. After the 4th of next March we shall have a government of the people again. The basic for the statement of Chairman Fess that the Senate will be Republican is not far to seek. The present Republican majority in that body is two. With Weller succeeding Smith in Maryland the majority will be increased to four, with Ernest defeating Beckham in Kentucky it will be increased to 8. x, with Shortridge defeating Phelan in Califoria it will be eight, and with Gooding defeating Nugent in Idaho it will be ten. In addition Johnson a Democrat is certain to be suceeded by Noi Seck, a Republican, in South Dakota. Willis will hold Ohio in line and the plurality of 175,000 in the primaries in New York assure his re-election. If Chamberlain should not defeated in Oregon the majority would be fourteen.

CHICAGO GRAND JURY FINDS INDICTMENTS AGAINST 8 WHITE SOX. Famous Pitcher, In Tears, Tells of Betrayal of His Club, For Which He Says He Received $10. 000 as Share of the Bribe. Owner Comiskey, Noblest Roman of the National Sport Seeing His Empire Crumble. Orders the Indefinite Suspension of All Players Under Cloud Chicago, Sept. 28-. Indictments were voted against eight baseball stars today and confessions obtained from two of them when the "Old Roman" Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the oftime champion Chicago White Sox smashed his pennant-chasing machine to clean up baseball. The confessions told how the Sox threw last year' world's champion ship to Cincinnati for money paid by gamblers. Seven Sox regulars and one form er player comprise the players against whom true bills were voted by the Cook County grand jury, and the seven were immediately suspend by Mr. Comiskey. With his team only one game behind the league leading Cleveland Indians, the White Sox owner served notice on his six estars that if they were found guilty he would drive them out of organized baseball for the rest of their lives. LIFTS CURTAIN OF JURY ROOM Officials of Chief Justice Charles McDonald's court, desirous of giving the national game the benefit of put licity in its purging, lifted the curtain on the grand jury proceedings sufficiently to show a great bitter, Joe Jackson, declaring that he delibrately just tapped the ball; a picture of one of the world' famous pitchers, Cicotte, in tears, and glimpse of alleged bribes of $5,000 or $10,000 discovered under pillows or on beds by famous athletes about to retire. Around the courtroom at one time or another were some of baseball's greatest leaders, among them John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, awaiting a call to testify, and John Heydler, president of the National League, who went be to vote the grand jurors this afternoon. The exact nature of the explanation Mr. Comiskey put before the grand jury was not disclosed. The men whom the grand jury involved as a result of testimony uncovered by their owner were: Eddie Cicotte, star pitcher, who waived immunity and confessed, as cording to attaches, that he took a $10,000 bribe. Arnold Gandil, former first baseman, "Shoeless Joe" Jackson, heavy hitting left fielder. Oscar "Hap" Felsch center fielder. Charles "Swede" Misberg, shortstop. Claude Williams, pitcher; George Buck Weaver, third baseman; Fre McMullin Utility player. SEES BASEBALL EMPIRE CRUMBLE. While the grand jury jurors voted their true bills, the "Old Roman," seated in the midst of his crumbling empire out at White Sox Park, issued the telegram suspending those involved, paid off Weaver, Cicotte and Jackson on the spot, and announced that cheeks due others would be sent them at once. With his voice trembling, Mr. Comiskey, who has owned the White Sox since the inception of the American League, said this was the first time scandal had ever touched his "family," and that it distressed him too much to talk about it. The rush of players to bare their part in the affair started today when Cicotte appeared at Criminal Court Building and asked permission to testify, Cicotte wept, court attaches said, and exclaimed in anguish his sorrow for his part in the games as he told how he did his utmost rath er than win the 1919 series after he he had found §10,000 beneath his pill low where it had been placed by gamblers. He said he lobbed the ball to the plate. "You could read the trade mark on it," he declared, at the first game at Cincinnati when he was taken out of the box after three and two-third innings had been played. CONFIEMS MAHARG'S STATE-MENT. The details of Cicotte's confession follow closely the story told in Phil adelphia last night by Billy Maharg, former prize fighter, it was stated. Cicotte told the grand jury it was announced, that he received $10,000 for the his part in losing the series. He never saw the man who paid the money, he said. He was told he would find the $10,000 under his pillow in his hotel room on the night before the first game at Cincinnati and when he returned to his room th money was there. Joe Jackson received $5,000. Like Cicotte he found the money in his bed when he returned to his room on the night before the first game. A court official who was present when Cicotte went on the stand described the scene when the star pitch er broke down and erried as he gold the jury of his part in the series "fixing." My God! blink of my childen, he cried. Cicotte has 2 small children. "I've lived a thousand years in the last year," the court official quoted him as saying. DELIBERATLY INTERCEPTS BALL "In the forth game, played at Chicago, which I also lost, I delibately intercepted a throw from the outfield to the plate, which might have cut off a run. I mamed the ball on purpose. At the time in the same game I purposely made a wild throw. All the runs scored against no were drawn. I clobbered errors. I did not try to win. "I never did anything I regretted so much in my life." the witness added, according to the Sage cial. I would give anything in the world if I could undo my acts in the last world a service. I played a crooked game and I have lost and to be whole ruth. "In the first game at Cincinnati I was knocked out of the box." Giacotte told the jury, according to the court official. "I wasn't putting a thing on the ball. You could have read the trademark on it when I lobbed the ball up to the plate." Last year's world series records show that in the first inning of the game he started by hitting Rath the first Cincinnati batter in the back Daubert followed with a single over second base that sent Rath to third and he scored when Groh flied to Jackson, Rath beating Jackson's throw to the plate. STORY OF JUDAS' GAME. Chicago tied this run in the next inning. Kopf putting Jackson on see end with a wild throw. Felsch saceri ficed him to third and Gandil dropped a little fly safely in center, scoring Jackson. The end of Cicotte's pitching and the runs that ultimately won the game were scored by Cincinnati in the fourth inning. All the damage was done with two out. With Kopf on first, Neil and Wingo and Reuther, the hard-hitting Cincinnati pitcher, drove a three-base hit to the center field bleachers. Rath doubled and Daubert singled, the combination resulting in five runs. Wilkinson took Cicotte's place after Daubert's single, and Groh flied to Felsch. The final score of this game was 9 to 1. ANOTHER GAME DELIBERATELY THROWN. The fourth game played at Chicago was also deliberately thrown away, according to court officials who heard Cicotte's statement to the grand jury. The Reds won this game by a score of 2 to 0, Ring pitching for Cincinnati holding the American League champions to three hits. Both Cincinnati runs were made in the fifth inning when two f Cincinnati hits were bunched with a wild throw to first by Cicotte and a bad throw to the plate by Jackson, which the pitcher intercepted and muffed. The play of this inning was sent over the Associated Press wires as follows "Roush was out Schalk to Gandil, the ball rolling half way to the pitchers box. Duncan was safe when Cicotte threw his drive wide to first, the ball going to the stand and Duncan reaching second; Kopf singled to left and Duncan stopped at third, but scored when Jackson threw wild to the plate. Kopf reached second. Correction: The official scorer gives Cicotte the error for muffing Jackson's throw. Neale sent one ver Jackson's head and Kopf scored. Neale reached second. It was a two-base hit. Wingo out, Ed. Collins to Gandil, Neale going to third. Ring drove a vicious grounder that Ed. Collins got and throw him out at first. Two runs; two hits, two errors... The rest of the game was played sharply and so far as the records show, cleanly. Cicotte pitched through the nine innings. CICOTTES NEXT APPEARANCE Cicotte's next appearance in the series was in the sixth game, when Cincinnati had four victories to credit against one defeat, Richard Kerr the diminutive left handed pitcher, having shut out the National League champions in the third game. The veteran twirler, who today confessed the big gambling deal, went through nine innings and held his opponents to seven hits. Chicago won the game 4 to 1, hitting Sallee hard in the first five innings. Jackson and Felsch each got two hits and between them drove in all of Chicago's runs. Billy Maharg, Philadelphia prize fighter, who last night, in Philadelphia, issued a statement connected Cicotte with the gambling deal, and charging that Abo Attell, former fighter, headed the gambling clique asserted that the Sox were double crossed by Attell, and never received $100,000 which had been promised them. It was late in the series before they found his out, Maharg asserted at Attell kept postponing the day of settlement saying he needed the money to bet. CHALKED UP AGAINST WILLIAMS Besides the two defeats registered against Cicotte in the series three others were chalked up against Claude Williams. The latter a "side arm" left hander, was wild in the second and fifth games, which went to the Reds 4 to 2 and 5 to 0. In the eighth and last game which went he was found for four solid hits in the first inning and that game and the title of world champions went to Cincinnati, 10 to 5. Williams lack of control, was generally recorded as the cause of his defeat the record of the second game saving: "While Cincinnati obtained only four hits these came at opportune times when they had been preceded ceded by basses on balls off Williams. The fifth game of the series was a shut out triumph for Hod Eller, the big 'shine ball' expert of the Cincinnati pitching staff. Only three hits were made off him and he establish a world series record by striking out the side in two successive innings. All told Eller had nine strike outs that day. Four of Cincinnati's five runs were ground in the sixth inning. Eller doubled. Rath scored him with a single and moved to second on Dau bert's "hunt perfectly hid." as the report of the game said. Williams walked. Rouch drove a three-hace hit to Feltech's territory, scoring two runners, and himself called after Dum HE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA can flied to Jackson. CLOSETED WITH GRAND JURY. Both Cicotte and Jackson were closeted with the grand jury for a considerable time today and later court officials reported they told their stories in substantial detail. As they left the room they were taken into custody by detectives of the State's attorneys office. Their detention was not in the nature of an arrest and it was said that they would be released later. Cicotte who earlier in the day had vehemently denied any part in the alleged plot, as described by Mah arg at Philadelphia admitted on the stand, officials of the court said, that the Philadelphiaian's story was sub stantially correct. The court officials also quoted Cicotte as saying that the players had believed that "Chick" Gaudil who he said, was interested in the dealings with the gamblers had "double crossed" them, and that Maharg's story was the first intimation they had had that Attell had "held out" on the $100,000 which had been promised them. LONG WITH TEAM The eight players named in the true bills had been with the White Sox for periods ranging from four to nine years. Cicotte himself was purchased from Boston in 1912 for the waver price. Joe Jackson was bought from Cleveland in 1915 for a large sum in cash and some players in trade. The investigation by the grand jury will continue until all phases of baseball gambling have been bared it was said by officials. The investigation started two weeks ago, following reports that a game played here August 31 by the Cubs and the Philadelphia Nationals was "fixed" and the inquiry into the year's world's series came up only as an incident. Assistant States Attorney Hartley Replogle, in charge of the case, said tonight indictments to be drawn up tomorrow on today's true bills may contain several counts. The true bills themselves specified only one offense "conspiracy" to commit an illegal act. Penalty on this would be one to five years in the penitentiary and a fine of not more than $10,000. This is just the beginning, Mr. Replogle said tonight. "We will make more indictments within a few days and before we get through we will have purged organized baseball of every thing that is crooked and dishonest. GOING AFTER GAMBLERS NOW "We are going after the gambblers now. There will be indictments with in a few days against men in Philadelphia, Indianapolis St. Louis, Des Moines, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and other cities. More baseball players also will be indicted. We've got the goods on these men and we are going the limit." Harry Grabtree, secretary of the White Sox announced that they would play out the schedule to the end if it had to employ Chinamen to fill the vacancies in the team. Followers of the White Sox figured immediately on the probable line-up of the team in the three remaining games of the season, starting in St. Louis Friday. Information filter ing from the club management indicated the following possible line-up. Faber, Kerr, Wilkinson and Hodge, pitchers. Schalk and Lynn, catchers, Jourdan, first base, Ed. Collins second base, McClellan, shortstop, John Collins, third base, Leibold right field, Strunk center field, Falk left field. On the bench as reserves would be Eddie Murphy, premier pitch hitter of the major leagues; Jonard and George Lees, catchers; George Payne, pitcher and several recruit pitchers and minor league fielders who are on trial with the team. Mr. Coniskey tonight made the following statement to the Associated press: The consideration which the grand jury gave to this case should be greatly appreciated by the general public. The Hon. Charles A. Me Donald chief justice and the foreman, of the grand jury Harry Bright am, and his associates who so diligently strove to save and make America's great game the clean sport which it is to be commended in no uncertain terms by all sport followers in spite of what happened to day. And, thank God it did happen. Forty-four years of baseball endeavor have convinced me more than ever that it is a wonderful game, and a game worth keeping clean. "I would rather close my ball park than nine men on the field with one of them holding a dishonest thought toward clean baseball—the game which John Megraw went around the world with to show to the people on the other side. We are far from through yet. We have the nucleus of another championship team with the remainder of the old world's champion team." He named the veterans Eddie and John Collins, Ray Schalk, Urban Faber; Dick Kerr, Eddie Murphy, Nemo Leibold and Amos Strunk and declared that with the addition of Hodgk, Falk, Jourdan and McCulliban "I guess we can go along and win the championship yet."

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 drosophilic 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 epsamms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another, her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend it your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued. For full particulars, send or cs L.

Mr. Robert Stubbs of Glouster Co. Va., visited the Ideal Office this week in the interest of the society. At the last meeting of the Richmond District Council glorious reports were made by delegates concerning the annual meeting in Philadelphia. Mr. T. L.

While there she was royally entertained by her many admiring friends. She also spent two weeks in Cumberland, Md. in the Alleghany mountains the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Edmonds.

Church Resigns and Severs His Connection From the Same. Which Carries With it His Connection From the General Church Itself. A Western Church sensation. Dr. W. D. Cook former pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church of this city refuses to be humiliated and re signs and severs his connection from the A. M. E. church. For some good or bad reason our Chicago Colored Newspapers are ignoring this mat ter which is one of the most sensitical church affairs since Richard Allen severed his connection from the Methodist Episcopal church more than a century ago. Dr. Cook is one of the best known men in the ministry in these United States and has spent over 30 years in the ministerial service. Somebody has evidently miscalculated the ro sults of such actions or in our judge ment this change would not have been made. For some time here the layman has been asking for a square deal and a right to gibe expression to their Christian principles, which has not been the case, but on the other hand they who would thus attempt to do so was marked and crushed by the powers that be and ridiculed. Bethel church is now split in too and all of the Trustees excepting one also gave in their resignation along with the biggest majority of the Stew ards, Class leaders and evangelists, including 90 per cent of Bethel members. They too have signed the pledge to stand by Dr. Cook until this meet wrong has been properly righted. Trice acted as Chairman of the meeting while Charlie Griffin acted as Secretary. The opposition made a very poor showing and the Rev. Bert, the present appointed pastor stood against the wall like a sheep before his shearer opening not his mouth. From the feeling of this people it would not have been well for him to have done so at this time, and this we think that he used good judgement and of course his sponsors were not here to back him up. They were like the birds that had flowned they were in hiding and could not be seen. We have given you this much, your associate writers here may finish the job.

COLORED MAN LEAVES $2 000,000 Charles Brown, Who Had Laud Under Oil Lease Dies at 90. West Columbia, Tex., Sept. 14.—Charles Brown who died at his homo here a few days ago at the age of 90 years, was probably the wealthiest, but one of the most unostentatious, Negroes in the world. He is believed to have left a fortune of considerable more than a million some estimate placing the figure at $2,000,000. It is known that Brown owned at the time of his death about 3,600 acre of land a considerable part of which is in the heart of the wonder fully productive West Columbia oil field, all under lease. He received an enormous revenue from oil wells under the one eighth royalty clause which is in all the lease contracts. He was also a successful farmer during his long life. He leaves a family of seven children and a number of grandchildren. Although the aged Negro did not set store by a reckless display and ex pouditure of money, he was liberal in providing for his children. Brown's physical and mental conditon was vigorous up to a few days before he died. He made no change in his manner of living when fortune came to him. He was a familiar figure on the streets of West Columbia and surrounding country. Frequently he was seen driving along the roads and streets in a farm wagon. Although his children rode in high-priced automobiles their father was content to follow the even tenor of his old life. He was always held in the highest respect by the white people of the town and section. STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC. REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24,1912.
