WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 2 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1939 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS STARTS FOR NEW YORK IN THE STANLEY STEAM CAR—AUTOS AND THEIR UNCERTAINTY. I left Richmond, Monday, October 17th, 1929 via automobile route for an extended northern trip. Various accidents caused a delay until 12:29 P. of when we passed out on the Hermitage road going in the direction of Glen Noeen. Koosee C. Mitchell, John C. Cogard and Robinson Davis, the latter at the wheel made up the party I handed the Blue Book, which was comparatively useless in making detours, but all right when running on the regular routes. OTHERS WANTED I had prepared for the trip, which had been uncertain. I had expected Dr. E R. Jefferson and George W. Rison in the party, but the heavy rain, business delays and terrible experience of Albert V. Norrell, Jr., and his brother, Edimboro had tended to make it uncertain as to "train leaving time, so I left suddenly when I thought I was ready" I had purchased a Des Moines Double Tonz Tent with two cots which served for four persons. LOST THE WAY Meaching Glen Allen, we went three miles out of the way, but finally got in the right road again. I know something about automobile costs and I have learned that there are two things to be disregarded in handling them - time and money. I thought of an automobile experience I had o: a visit to Eastville, Va. when my good friends, Prof. Chas, N. McCune of Chesapeake and Dr. D. W. Palmer holds sway. I spoke at Eastville and the next morning boarded the steam e: for Old Point, Va. The steamer was late and later in docking. To make a long story short, I arrived at C and O Station in time to see the rear end moving with the colority of the other part in the direction of Newport News and Rich tandem. It was eight miles to the form or place. Hotel Chamberlain had not been burn down then. A WILD RIDE. I approached a porter. "Want to catch the train, Mister," said he, at Newport News. I told him that I did. He beckoned to a colored chauffeur, who was in front of the hotel and his car was there on the instant. My suit case was thrown into it. "I've made no terms with the gentleman." said the porter. By this time, the car was moving rapidly in the direction of Phoebe for I wanted to be in Richmond that morning. I ventured to enquire as to the charge for the service. A PESTILIAR PROPOSITION. The chantour turned his head slightly with his eyes on the road in front "Seven dollars if I make it; six dollars if I don't" was the reply. The roads had been torn up by the Government tracks. At times my head was in communication with the top of that automobile which I grabbed the sides of the car in order to steady myself. The only showing up was in the Sobber's Home grounds and in Hampton. I had reached the bridge spanning the C and O, tracks in Newport, Va. MADE THE RUN I saw the orange colored coaches of the C & O train. Then came ringing in my cars the words of the "Seven dollars if I make it; six dollars if I don't." I could see my six dolars gone and a long wait in Newport News. But the chaffair did not stop. He kept on to the station. The train was not pulling out. It was backing in. I counted out seven dollars in good United States currency, vaulted into a coach, without purchausing a ticket at the station and arrived in Richmond on time that morning. SLOPHERD BROWN'S HOSTELRY But my troubles wave on the trip to Washington and Baltimore and Phi'i adelobia and No wYork. We stopped at Frederick's shore, where I talked about old times with Mr. Shepherd Brown. So while his son insisted up to serving to our parry free of charge plates of raw oysters. It was an amooting repast. We had made the trip to Frederick'sburg over fairly good dirt roads in three hours and tweaked minutes including delays. I (Continued On Page Three.)

Eternal Naught! Yet each hue known to man Is but a portion of your wondrous whole; All beauty is the offspring of your soul.

Were born of you—from neutral white to taut. Great Father and Mother! Unknown Unknown's Night! Before your name we bow by brooding awe: You are the answer to our questioning sight. Life and is truth, love and its endless law. When we would read your mystery, O Black. Our very thought reeds—hushed and laffled, back!

Recently the Simarcer Set of New York we booked to produce their remarkable play "Bamboula" in this magnificent edifice. Previous experience had shown that the colored population of Richmond appreciated the rare excellence of this aggregation of stage talent more than the white and so arrangements had to be made for the admission of colored people to the main floor of the theatre, known as the orchestra. The lease drawn by the original owners and held by the present leses specifies that assemblages in which the majority of the patrons are not white are prohibited. It was necessary to secure the consent of the present owner which President John Mitchell, Jr., represented, Mr. Mitchell was on a touring trip, and was scheduled to reach Washington, Monday, October 18, 1920. A representative of the Smart Set went to Washington and waited. In the meantime, when President Mitchell arrived there in his car and was notified of the conditions, he communicate/ with Richmond at once and Vice President Albert A. Tenant signed the necessary papers which enabled the colored people of Richmond to pack the Strand Theatre and witness one of the best plays ever staged by a lored people in this country. As was expected the attendance of colored people was large while chid of the white people was small. Who ever wrote "Bambouba" were masters and those who performed it were adepts at the business. Richmond will be always ready to welcome with open arms, these skilled performers and remarkable entertainers of the public. --- L. R. W.

Penn. 730 N. 5th Street NEGROES WANT EQUAL CHANCE WITH OTHER AMERICANS. Dr R, R. Moton Addresses the Negro Organization Society and Teachers. (By Wm. Anthony Aery.) Hampton Va., Nov.—That the Negro in Virginia and elsewhere "wants an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and happiness" this was the plea of Dr. Moore, M. Moon, principal or Tuskegee Institute, made before the members of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia (Athen Washington, Campton institute, president) and the Negro State Teachers' Association of Virginia (D. G. Jaes, Northeast president) it their Newport News joint meeting. Dr. Moore said: "The time is past, it moved there ever was when a time, when we can assume that all white people, when he occupas or private citizens, are friendly toward us. Saen an attitudue on our port toward them is as unjust as it is to charge gue whole Negro race with being criminal. There are a great many strong and illiterate white men and women in the South who are not onl yfriendly toward the Negro but who are now devoting much of their time and energy without reserve to see that the Negro receives justice and fair treat them throughout the South. South of the Mason and Dixon Line there are approximately thirty million white people and about nine million colored people, with comparatively few foreigners. With all of the background of the past as a guide, the two races that have been born and brought up together ought to be able to adjust relations in such a way as to bring to both races the largest measure of happiness and prosperity, maturity and service to each other, among with the largest measure of usefulness and service to each other, I believe this can be done. Dr. Moton referred to the large share which the Negro Organization Society has had in blazing the way for important inter racial cooperation and congruated the Society's officers, including Major Allen W. Whiton, its president, and Prof. John M. Candy, executive secretary, "for keeping the organization on its even keel of progress and sanity." The white people of the South, said Dr. Moton "were never more ready and anxious to know what the Negro is thinking about, to know what I in the back of his head, than they are today. There never was a Time when they read more widely from Negro periodicals than they do to day. What the Neer wants in Virginia and elsewhere is an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of Efe and its blessings; what he wants is to go his way peacefully and quietly so long as he violates no laws and does not trespass on the rights of his neighbor." After outline, for climate people' some of the disadvantages under which Negroes are compelled to Eve and after recommending the use of Negro deputies, coasties, and other officers of the law, in communities where there are considerable numbers of colored people as a means of reducing crime. Dr. Moton made a vigorous plea for the enforcement of law and order among all citizens for the development of better schools, better churches, and better homes, and for the promoting of the work of the Inter-racial Commission, which aims to adjust and to prevent racial difficulties. Never before has the South been as willing, I may even say eager," declared Dr. Moton, "to deal with the Nerro in fairness and justice as it is at present. I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for that in increasing number of intelligent, God-fearing men and women of the South white and black, who have determined in a rational way that every citizen shall be fairly and fairly treated." Dr. James E. Groge principal of Hopton Institute in introducing Dr. Moton said that civilization really means the gradual bringing together of people and the amalgamating of old substances and normatives. He closed that Dr. Moton who has been bringing people together privately is a force of civilization. CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM The Negro Organization Society merahe speaking through their Committee on Resolutions recognized the foot that "the advantage of the Negro people in Virginia rests upon increased opportunities for the education of their children". They deployed "the great shortage of Negro teachers which has made necessary the closing of hundreds of schools to thousands o f children who are growing up in gentnce to become in later years a messure to the State. They enclosed the Rosenwald School movement and the work of the State Normal School at Petersburg, which alma to give special teacher-training RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENTS work during the summer quarter. The members endorsed the public health work which is being done for Negroes throughout Virginia. They commended the State for asuming the responsibility of adequate financing and controlling the Industrial Home School for Colored Girls, the Normal Training School for Colored boys, and the Colored Dent and Blind Institute. They recommended that a committee be appointed to place before the State authorities the claim for an institution which will care for the feeble minded and mentally defective Negro children. They recommended that Negroes who own farms should keep them and operate them. They explored the occasional on breaks of ill will in the country between white men and black men. We realize that, if the two races are to live happily and peacefully together both must exercise self control, the spirit of tolerance, and a deep-seated desire to accord to each other absolute justice and fair play. They are proved the work of the Interracial Commission in the South. They recognized the spirit of thrift among the colored people of Newport News and commended this spirit to all other Negroes. SCATE-WIDE RESPONSE From distant parts of Virginia, as well as from Tidewater Va., there can be many energetic, hopeful delegates from school improvement leaders, county and local teachers, associations, home makers clubs, public and private schools, churches and social service organizations who reported on the progress of colored people toward securing "Better Health Better Schools, Better Homes, Dig Firms." The delegates came to receive information and inspiration. They reported on the problems of race adjustment, which remain to be solved through the cooperation of white and colored leaders. Willi m D.

Gandy president of the State Normal School at Petersburg, reported on the excellent work of the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls. T. C.

The Negro State Teacher" Association program included department meetings for secondary schools and colleges, grammar school-primary, rural, schools industrial supervisory work, and college men. Major Allen Washington who was re-elected president, said: "I hope that we can do something to stimulate the school boards throughout Virginia, as well as the colored people themselves, to see that every child has a chance to get an education." --- ANNIVERSARY AND MORTGAGE BURNING CELEBRATION --- Anniversary and Mortgage Burning Celebrations at Carmen Lupita Church, third year of the Church, Tin year of Rev.

Yet each hue known to man Is but a portion of your wondrous whole; All beauty is the offspring of your soul. You were the void whence God's first Dream began; The lone blind stillness where He willed H's plan. You are the Dark. The flaming worlds that roll Through timeless space, on to some nameless goal, Were born of you—from neutral white to tan. Great Father and Mother! Unknown- Unknowable N ght! Before your name we bow in brooding awe: You are the answer to our question ng sight→ Life and its truth, love and its endless law. When we would read your mystery, O Black.

Bristol, Va., Nov. 15—Dave Hunt, colored, aged 25 years captured after an exclining chase on a passenger train and held for assault Friday upon an aged white woman was taken from the jail at Wise, Va., early Sunday by a mob of about seventy-five men and hanged to a bridge near KenJunction where the crime is said to have been committed. After the lynching the mob dispersed and up to a late hour last night no arrests had been reported. The victim was assaulted near her home Friday afternoon. Shortly after the crime she flagged a passenger train as it came by and told members of the crew that she had been attacked by the Negro, whom they could see walking on the railroad some distance ahead. The train started after the Negro who left the track , and headed for the mountainside. The men left the train and took to the woods after the fugitive and soon captured him. --- —Rev. Wm. A.

M., When she returned at about 8 o'clock he was sitting speech less on the side of the bed, having a good time with her husband. "What's the matter, Joe?" came no response. She called her son and together they helped him back in bed and put a pillow under his head. He expired shortly afterwards. He was president of the Joseph W. Billey Company, Inc., and was universally liked and respected by both white and colored people. Many of our colored funeral directors owe their credit in business to him and his firm.

James Weldon Johnson, who has been serving as acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, following the resignation of John R. Shillady was appointed regular secretary at a meeting of the Board of Direc tors held at the National Office, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York on Monday November 8. Mr. Johnson who is widely known throughout the country as a poet and orator, this spring was sent by the Advancement Association to the black republic of Haiti, where he made an investigation of U. S. misrule. The charges which Mr. Johnson published upon his return in the Nation of New York were taken up by Sema tor Harding and as a consequence a Naval Board of Inquiry has been sent to Haiti and a Congressional in restitution promised. Mr. Johnson's varied career includes service as U. S. Consul at Puercio Cabello, Venezuela and in Nicaragua and the Azores. His knowledge of Spanish was put to use in the translation into English of the Spanish opera "Goyescos" Mr. Johnson's version being produced by the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York in 1915. He is the author of a novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, and of a volume of poems." "Fifty Years and other Poems. Mr. Johnson has also contributed to magazines and periodicals, including the Christian Herald, The Century Magazine, The Independent, New Republic, Nation, Crisis, and others. He is at present contributing Editor to the New York Age. --- RAMBOULA The Strad Theatre of this city is now being operated by Jake Well's interests. Recently the Smarter Set of New York we booked to produce their remarkable play "Bamboula" in this magnificent edifice. Previous experience had shown that the colored population of Richmond appreciated the rare excellence of this aggregation of stage talent more than the white and so arrangements had to be made for 'the admission of colored people to the main floor of the theatre, known as the orchestra. The lease drawn by the original owners and held by the present lessee specifies that assemblages in which the majority of the patrons are not white are prohibited. It was necessary to secure the consent of the present owner which President John Mitchell, Jr., represented. Mr. Mitchell was on a touring trip and was scheduled to reach Washington, Monday, October 18, 1920. A representative of the Smart Set went to Washington and waited. In the meantime, when President Mitchell arrived there in his car and was notified of the conditions, he communicated with Richmond at once and Vice-President Albert A. Tennant signed the necessary papers which enabled the colored people of Richmond to pack the Strand Theatre and witness one of the best plays ever staged by colored people in this country. As was expected the attendance of colored people was large while that of the white people was small. Who ever wrote "Bamboula" were masters and those who performed it were adepts at the business. Richmond will be always ready to welcome with open arms, these skilled performers and remarkable entertainers of the public. L. R W JOHNSON IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL BAPTIST SEMINARY --- Rev.

Hampton, Va., Nov.—That the Negro in Virginia and elsewhere "wants an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and happiness"—this was the plea of Dr. Robert B. Moon, principal of Tuskegee Institute, made before the members of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia (Aiken Washington, Hampton institute, president) and the Negro State Teachers' Association of Virginia (D. G. Jaox, Nortfolk president) tt their Newport News "joint meeting. Dr. Moon said: "The time is past, if indeed there ever was such a time, when we can assume that all white people, which or oneself or private citizens, are un friendly toward us. Suen an attitude on our part toward them is as un just as it is to charge the whole Negro race with being criminal. There are a great many strong and influential white men and women in the South who are not on yfriendy toward the Negro but who are now devoting much of their time and energy without reserve to see that the Negro receives justice and fair treatment throughout the South. South of the Mason and Dixon Line there are approximately thirty million white people and about nine million colored people, with comparatively few foreigners. With all of the background of the past as a guide, the two races that have been born and brought up together ought to be able to adjust relations in such a way as to bring to both races the largest measure of happiness and prosperity usefulness and service to each other, among with the largest measure of usefulness and service to each other. I believe this can be done. Dr. Moton referred to the large share which the Negro Organization Society has had in blazing the way for important inter racial co-operation and congruated the Society's officers, including Major Allen Washington, its president, and Prof. John M. Gandy, executive secretary, "for keeping the organization on its even keel of progress and sanity." The white people of the South, said Dr. Moton "were never more ready and anxious to know what the Negro is thinking about, to know what is in the back of his head, than they are today. There never was a time when they read more widely from Negro periodicals than they do to day. What the Negr wants in Virginia and elsewhere is an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and its blessings; what he wants is to go his way peacefully and quietly so long as he violates no laws and does not trespass on the rights of his neighbor." After outlining; for white people's some of the disadvantages under which Negroes are compelled to live and after recommending the use of Negro deputies, coastables, and other officers of the law, in communities where there are considerable numbers of colored people as a means of reducing crime. Dr. Moton made a vigorous plea for the enforcement of law and order among all citizens for the development of better schools, better churches, and better homes, and for the promoting of the work of the Inter-racial Commission, which aims to adjust and to prevent racial difficulties. Never before has the South been as willing, I may even say eager," declared Dr. Moton, "to deal with the Negro in fairness and justice as it is at present. I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for that increasing number of intelligent, God-fearing men and women of the South white and black, who have determined in a rational way that every citizen shall be fairly and justly treated." Dr. James E. Gregg principal of Hampton Institute in introducing Dr. Moton said that civilization really means the gradual bringing together of people and the abolishing of old suspensions and animosities. He de-clared that Dr. Moton who has been bringing people together spiritually is a force of civilization. CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM The Negro Organization Society members snooking through their Committee on Resolutions recognized the fact that "the advancement of the Negro people in Virginia rests upon increased opportunities for the education of their children." They deployed "the great shortage of Negro teachers which has made necessary the closing of hundreds of schools to thousands of children who are growing up in ignorance to become in later years a mercy to the State. They enforced the Rosenwald School movement and the work of the State Normal School at Petersburg, which aims to give special teacher-training PRICE, FIVE CENTS work during the summer quarter. The members endorsed the public-health work which is being done for Negroes throughout Virginia. They commended the State for assuming the responsibility of adequately financing and controlling the In industrial Home School for Colored Girls, the Normal Training School for Colored boys and the Colored Deaf and Blind Institute. They recommended that a committee be appyed to place before the State authorities the claim for an institution which will care for the feeble-minded and mentally defective Negro children. They recommended that Negroes who own farms should keep them and operate them. They explored the occasional outbreaks of ill-will in the country between white men and black men. We realize that, if the two races are to live happily and peaceably together, both must exercise self control, the spirit of tolerance, and a deep-seated desire to accord to each other absolute justice and fair play. They ap proved the work of the Inter-racial Commission in the South. They recognized the spirit of thrift among the colored people of Newport News and commended this spirit to all other Negroes. STATE-WIDE RESPONSE From distant parts of Virginia, as well as from Tidewater Va., there came many energetic, hopeful delegates from school improvement leagues, county and local teachers' associations, home makers clubs; public and private schools; churches and social service organizations who reported on the progress of colored people toward securing "Better Health Better Schools, Better Homes; Better Farms." The delegates came to receive "information and inspiration. They reported on the problems of race adjustment, which remain to be solved through the co-operation of white and colored leaders. William D. Gresham, Riehmond, Va., state supervisor of colored schools, spoke on "The Value of Cooperation in Building Up the Colored Schools in Virginia." Hon. Harris Hart, state superior of public instruction in Virginia, spoke on "Education for All the People." John M. Gandy president of the State Normal School at Petersburg, reported on the excellent work of the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls. T. C. Walker, of Glouester, Va., spoke on "The Value of Owning Land." The Negro State Teachers' Association program included departmental meetings for secondary schools and colleges, grammar schools primary, rural, schools industrial supervisory work, and college men. Major Allen Washington who was re-elected president, said: "I hope that we can do something to stimulate the school boards throughout Virginia, as well as the colored people themselves, to see that every child has a chance to get an education."

Parents with large families seem to get on just as well, if not better than parents with small ones. Eating too much is worse than eating too little. Few people know how to do either well.

Worry may kill more people than disease, but disease puts more people in the burying ground than worry. Be polite, colored folks. Never lot the white folks charge you with lacking in good manners or devoid of politeness. Be polite colored folks. According to the election returns, every State in the country that Gov. senor James M. Cox visited went against him. It is a good thing that he left out the southern states in his "sawing around the circle." You may pray as much as you like but if you don't work you'll starve to death. Lazy folks, as a rule can do more praying and less working than any class of people in the country. President Woodrow Wilson's influence will continue to wane until he leaves the White House. Many of his so-called friends will develop in his most malignant enemies. There are very few young people who know how and realize the necessity of Listening to and acting upon the advice of older people. That is why so few of them achieve permanent success and so many of them land upon the ash-plate of dismal failure. Some people take as long to go, after paying a visit as they take to visit. When they get up to leave, then comes into their minds something to talk about even though they talk about it in the winter time with the door open. The Ku Klux Klan seems to be having a hard time getting members in Richmond. They have been resorting to the news columns of the daily papers. This is too long a time after the Civil War to get white folks to engage in such foolishness. --- There seems to be under way in this country a steady propaganda against the present Government of Russia which is denominated as the Reds. It is alleged that they are conducting a campaign here which has for its purpose the present order of things and would change the constitution of the United States to suit their radical ideas. We do not believe in the method now being used to stamp out this kind of advocacy of communistic ideas. We have always been of the opinion that any Government which cannot withstand criticism and answer argument in an open forum is not entitled to endure. This action in ousting from the legis native assembly of New York five Socialists duly elected and the exclusion of another from the house of Representatives for similar reasons tends to show that there has been and is less liberty of thought and freedom of action in America than there is in Germany, England and France, where parties repressing these principles are tolerated and recognized by the existing governments. President Warren G. Harding, in his addresses has indicated that he is a statesman of high order and the probabilities are that he will be liberal in dealing with this class of people. Certain it is that if these people are given their rights under the Constitution and are kept within the limitations specified therein, the people of this country will see to it that no injurious doctrines shall up-root the fundamental principles of this Republic or destroy the work of our forefathers, who spent a generation of their time, relinforced by their blood and treasure in estate lishing the same. If this is a free country, let the people of this country be free. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. The League of Nations has been in session at Geneva Switzerland this week and it is understood that a chair has been left empty for the United States of America or its representative, while the echoes of the "solemn referendum" are still reverberating around the world. The conscientious people of the world have regarded the whole proceedings with disgust as they have noted the repeated violation of the principles and provisions of President Wilson's Fourteen Points. It is a league of some nations and not a league of all nations. The secret agreements and admitted acts of concealment have tended to make ridiculous the entire proceedings. The recruiting of troops for service in Germany has not tended to increase the confidence of the people in those officials now in power in this country. The recent news from Russia has been most disquieting. The Republic of France has admittedly been conducting a secret war against Russia by way of Poland and South Russia. The announcement of the defeat of General Wrangal's army and the capture of Sebastool have carried consternation to many nations and have increased materially the prestige and power of Genine and Trotsky in that great ice bound country. It is evident that Russia and its present government will have to be eventually recognized before peace will hold away in all of the countries of the Old World. A LYNCHING IN VIRGINIA. The Richmond. Va.. News-Loader has published many able editorials, "sound to the core" and in keeping with great right principles, but no one of them has a truer ring than the one in its issue of November 15th, 1920. The News Leader has no doubt Governor Davis will order an immediate investigation of the lynching reported today from Wise county. To fail to do so would be to encourage defiance of the law and by destroying Virginia's record for law enforcement, to add to the complexities of the race problem. As Gov. Westmoreland Davis has been forward in observing his oath of office and in taking the lead in the advocacy of all great practical reforms, we take it that the machinery of our State government has already been put into motion with a view to observing this phase of the situation. The News Leader continues: After the notorious "Emporia lynchag" of Cotton and O'Grady on March 24, 1900, public sentiment in Virginia demanded that no matter what the provocation, lynchings should be prevented or punished where they could not be prevented. It became a tradition in the courts of the commonwealth, that wherever a man was charged with the "usual offense" under circumstances that made violence probable a special grand jury would he empaneled and a special term held to dispose of the case without delay. Successive governors made it a rule that whenever called upon by the sheriff, they would unless listingly call on the national guard to protect prisoners pending or during trial for crimes against women. The results of this policy everyone knows: Attacks of the character usually punished with lynchings have been decreased, instead of increased, and the law abiding. Negroes of the commonwealth—a vast majority of all the colored people—have felt that just now was being done in this vital matter. In the opinion of this newspaper, few things have worked for better feeling between the races than the manifest determination of the commonwealth to put down mob law, no matter where or by whom insured. The record will show that Virginia's speedy trial and prompt execution of man guilty of criminal assault has been a far more impressive deterrent THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA than the "example of a lynching The News-Leader is right. Colored people are as anxious that this class of criminals shall be hunted down and legally punished as are the white people. In a way, the better class of colored people are more anxious that this be done for the reason that they regard these crimes committed by the lower, vicious elements of the race as reflecting upon them and that they seriously handle cap and embarrass them in their strugge for those denied citizenship rights for which they are contending. They are opposed to lynch-law, that is lynching in all of its forms, whether the persons lynched be white or colored. The law must be supreme. The Richmond, Va., News-Leader concludes: Shall so much of solid achievement be thrown away? Shall Virginia be permitted to alip back into lawlessness? Between 1900 and 1918, so far as The News Leader's figures show there was not a lynching in Virginia. For seventeen years the shoot was clean. But now—the occurrence of a second lynching within (two years must be due in part to the fact that those responsible for flaunting the law in 1918 were not punished. To pass over this lynching is to invite another and still another until Virginia will be disgraced. The first duty of the governor, under the constitution is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. It seems to us that "the day is breaking." Right will yet be two unpamphlet and Justice will exercise full sway in this land. FULTON NOTES. We are getting along very nicely at the Mt.

Baker is president and Mrs. Florence Kelley, general secretary, according to an announcement made today from the League's headquarters in New York by John R. Shillady executive director of the organization. Miss Rankin it is announced, will devote herself to promoting legislation for the protection of wage-earning women and minors in the leading industrial squats, particularly those which do not now have minimum wage commissions, and the statutory eight hours day for women workers and where the laws do not prohibit women working at night. "Only thirteen states and the District of Columbia" the announcement states, "have established minimum wage commissions or other means to protect women from working at wages below the minimum cost of living. Only eight states and the District of Columbia have an eight hours day for women in one or more occupations and in all but twelve states women are allowed to work all night, without restriction of any kind. Seventeen states permit employers to work women workers in all occupations sixty hours or more per week; five states have no legal limit and one state permits a sixteen hours working day for women." --- HOME FOR HOMELESS BOY.

PATRONS WIN. New York City, N. Y, Nov. 15 Konneth Marceau of 611 West 127th street, New York City who is the treasurer of Keelth's Alhambra Theater at Sventh Avenue and 126th St. was on Monday, November 15th, convicted in the Court of Special Sessions of violating Section 514 of the Penal Law of the State of New York. This Section makes it a misdemonnaor to discriminate in public places against people because of their color or race. The complainant against Marceau was Harold E. Simmelljaer, the colored Court Officer attached to the 7th District Municipal Court, 380 West-125th Street New York. Mr. Simmelljaer alleges that at about 12:40 on August 23rd, in company with Victor B. Daly, Director of Research for the National League on Urban Conditions he went to the Alhambra Theatre and asked Marceau who was then in the ticket office for a ticket for the following Wednesday matinee—that of August 26th. Marceau accepted the proffered dollar bill and gave the colored court officer a ticket entirely enclosed in an envelope. When Simmokjaer and Daly examined the ticket after having left the box office they found that they had been given a balcony instead of an orchestra seat.) They returned to the ticket office and asked Marceau to rectify the error stating that what they wanted was an orchestra and not a balcony seat. The treasurer informed them that there were no seats left for Wednesday matinee although it was only Monday the first day in the week. The colored men then stepped to the edge of the theatre lobby and asked a white man who gave the name of Joseph Longo, 215 West 116th street, New York City, to purchase an orchestra seat for them for the following Wednesday matinee. This Longo did and returned with a seat in the sixth row. Simmelkjaer and Daly then again returned to the ticket office and demanded to know why it was that colored people could get no seams for the Wednesday matt no while whito men could be sold accommodations for the sixth row. Simmelkjaer showed his gold shield of court officer and asked Mar ceau if he knew that he, Marceau had committed a crime against the penal laws of the State of New York by practising discrimination.

Uses Liquoroseptol Tooth Paste or Powder to keep OVER THREE THOUSAND HAYTIANS MURDERED AND THE REPORTS SUPPRESSED (New York Herald) (Continued from last week.) In the meantime The New York Horald presents herewith some of the more starting passages from it: Is it not sad indeed you have to state that after nearly five years of American occupation in Hayti and under our Democratic Administration people of the little black republic sin- cerely and firmly believe that the real mission of the United States Government and the American people there is to reestablish slavery if their midst once more to abrogate and annul the work of Toussain I- Overture (who is their Washington representative) just exactly as in the nineteenth century Napoleon grieed to be the tyrant of France, and in re- cent years the German Kaiser attempted to become the ruler of the world? Dr Evans then described how he hastened to write to President Wilson and to his personal friend, ex-President Roosevelt, from Hayti in June 1918, explaining the terrible blow to American prestige in Hayti and throughout Latin America that was resulting from the actions the American marines. It was as the result of this letter that ex-President Roosevelt stated in Washington, in October of the same year in his criticalism of Wilson's fourteen points that "the Negro republic of Hayti is treaty. non-existent under the Democratic Administration in spite of their Dr. Evans here tells an almost unbelievable story which he is prepared to substantiate in every particular of how he was arrested on a trumped up charge by a drunken white capita of gendarmes employed under direction of the Marine Corps, paraded through the streets and openly insulted by this white officer. So far as he is able to learn, although he was refused a statement of the charges against him the basis of the whole conspiracy was a determination to punish him for pleading in his capacity as white missionary for the natives and against certain methods and the immoral and drunk behavior of Americans connected with the occupation. He was confined in a filthy native fall and forced to bathe naked with native male and female prisoners by order of this white captain. He said the Negro judges and other officials whom he knew personally were eager to help him but were prevented under threats of death. He was accused by this white officer with resisting arrest when he asked for a copy of the charges or an official summons or any other official authority for the action. CHARGED WITH ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE When he asked permission to give to a native the key to a building which he used in his missionary work a charge of attempting to escape was placed against him by the same white officer. He was finally released by a Negro court, and immediately taken by force by the same white captain to Cap Heltian, in the extreme north by night in a small boat in the open Caribbean Sea, for another trial. Dr. Evans said he was released on the statement of the court that there were no charges against him. The so-called voting by the people of Haytij on the constitution prepared in advance for them and rammed down their threats by the Wilson Administration is ridiculed by Dr. Evans. He thus describes it to Seer etary Daniels. The procession of voters (!) resembled funerals in their silence, solemnity and mourful character as these people passed along like sheep into courts of justice (?) which were turned that day all through the courtyard into Haytian slaughter houses. Each was especially guarded by the gendarmerie. For the sake of giving $a$ little color to the affair and thus perfeiting the force a native commissioner on dummy officer, sat in the chair by the side of the white officers. When entering the court a small white paper stamped with the words 'Police Administration' and bearing date June 11, 1918, and also the Prescott word 'soni' (yes) was placed in the trembling hand of the native, who then was motioned—no word being spoken or question being asked—to the box in front of the white American officer in supreme charge with a native dummy assistant at his side. A bundle of pink pipers bearing the French word "non" (no) seriously and significantly remained tied to gather on the table. Thus terrorized and helpless; to resist these people sorrowfully and slavishly submitted, as most of them were brought in from small villages guarded and closely watched. --- $300 00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

New York, Nov. 2—A Ku Klux Klan is to be organized in New York City. It will be a branch of a nation wide organization which is now being secretly formed in the South. This information is contained in a letter received here by a New York or from the "Imperial Palace of the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Atlanta, Ga." The letter was signed by Edward Young Clarke, "Imperial Kleale. "We expect to start an organization of work in New York State in November," the letter reads. We have in mind about 300 men in New York City whom we expect to honor by bringing into the initial organization in New York City. According to the writer lepters have been received by him from Maine, Illinois, Missouri; and California requesting that organizers be sent to begin work there. Men of Southern origin only are to be considered as obligible for membership in the K. K. K. The necessary interrogations for membership are numerous, including queries as to age, birthplace, education; religion and questions like, "do you believe in the principles of pure Americanism?" and "do you believe in white supremacy in politics?" EDITOR MITCHELL (Continued From First Page.) meet here too Prof. J. C. Grant, who is still teaching in the Fredericksburg Public schools. CROSSING THE GRAPPAHANNOCK I had planned to leave this city immediately and I did so crossing the bridge over the Rappahannock River an often winding our way to Famouth, where a sharp turn was made and we were soon well on the way to Washington. We had crossed t stricam and were ascending a slight incline about four miles from fredericksburg, when there was a jolt and the left rear wheel went rolling on past us while Roscoe found himself in close communication with the road way. A. BROKEN 'NLES. The axle had broken, close up to the wheel and visions of a trip by train back to Richmond floated he fore me. I inspected the damage. But little was said by any of the party. Our one desire was to get that heavy ladened seven passenger touring Stanley Steam car out of the roadway. I saw a heavy oil truck coming and hailed the driver telling him my trouble. He readily consented to take me to Fredericksburg and pointed out to me the garage that could render service. A CALL TO RICHMOND I called up the Forbes Motor Co. at Richmond and also my own office. I talked with Mr. Oscar Baughn, the mechanic and he reminded me that the axle on my other Stanley Steam Car that I was rebuilding would turn the axle and that he would get it out that night and bring it to Fred ericksburg the next morning. It was with a feeling of relief that I wont out with the James Motor Company mechanics to try and haul in the disabled Stanley. It was a hopeless task and the best that could be done was to drag it into a corn field where the test was soon stretched, lunchoon served and they were ready to retire after I left them that night for Fred ericksburg. CHICAGO NOTES. During the last ten days scores of men and women from every profession have been seen going to and from the Provident Hospital, 36th and Dearborn streets where they went to see M. T. Bailey, President of the Bailey Realty Co., and Manager of the Milton Mercantile Agency, of MR. DOE US Says Drugs on Liv SLEPT IN FREDERICKSBURG I slept tttt night in the lodging house of Mrs. _____ and house of Mrs. _____ and arose at 7 A. M. but found that the other roomers took their time in got ting out of bed. I roamed the adjacent streets and thought of my experiences in this same city some thirty-seven years ago. when I taught school here upon a salary of $22.00 per month, paying a bill of board and lodging of $8.00 per month and then found myself the happy possessor of one hundred dollars saved at the end of a ten months session. But I was anxious and apprehensive. HELP ARRIVED I called up the Forbes Motor company at Richmond and was informed that Mr. Oscar Baughan, the steam-machane man had left Richmond that morning for Frederickson. When the 10:15 A. M. train arrived, I met him at the station. He had the left hand rear axle and it was with a feeling of satisfaction that I escorted him to an automobile, then to James Motor Co., and then to the place in the corn field, just four miles away where we found Rossoo C. Mitchell, John R. Coghill and Robinson Davis in good humor and smiling. It was a joke to them. They were enjoying the outing; but to me it was serious business. I had to pay the costs and the tide of ever increasing bills were still rising. NOT EARLY RISERS I inquired of them as to what time they got up. They looked at me with some surprise as though the question was superfluous. I understood. They had just turned out. Had we come a few moments earlier we would have found them in bed, peacefully resting. Mr. Baughan got down business at once, singled handed and alone except for such help as we furnished. We had enough to eat for all hands. We secured lumber from the farm on which we camped and for which the owner made no charge. THE JOB COMPLETED Water was available although we noticed that the three men in the house never left the house without a gun in hand or on their shoulders. By S P. M. that Tuesday, the work had been completed, the Stanley Steam car tested by Robinson and we had backed it again into the corn field, bidden Mr. Baughan good-bye as he left in that speedy automobile we had hired to take him to Fredericksburg from which point that night he would leave for Richmond, Va.

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 and 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 spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another, her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies.
