He always brings me my coffee had come on the regulation time and also his morning paper. The man servant had brought it where he had been told to bring it and it had paced it in it. I had passed it in too and I remembered the picture of the laughing cat under which was writ ten: "I've eaten the canary." I drank Dr. Jones coffee. There was a laugh all around, while the man servant said nothing more than to remark that he had carried it where Dr. Jones had always told him to bring it and he had not changed the orders. THE DUNBAR THEATRE The next morning I went down to see about the car. It would be ready that afternoon. It may be well to state that the afternoon before I had visited the new Dunbar Theatre, the creation of Bankers Brown and Steveens. The latter furnished us with complimentary tickets and we entered this fine theatrical edifice, built "to the minute" by the latest designs in theatrical architecture. It is a wonderful bit of financiering, Mr. G. Grand Williams is the manager, but we did not meet him and we learned that Presideqn Brown was recuperating at Atlantic City, having suffered a nervous breakdown. A GRAND PLAY. The play was a magnificent one and did credit to the performers and the management. It must have taken a fortune to operate this place and how were the people patronizing this remark able effort in their behalf? The night shows were packed. We be gain to wonder if our people will ever learn. Certainly this great venture in Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia where colored people are so numerous that the one gets the idea that he is in the black belt of Mississippi, money should be made by such a venture. We met Attorney J. C. Ashbury. He was making money eyou too, he said. He had invested not in a theatre but in a graveyard. AN ACTIVE PHYSICIAN Dr. R. E. Jones who had been in diposed while living in Richmond was a well man while walking the streets of Philadelphia and I had all I could do to keep up with Fran. That night, in company with Dib Madame we went to see Grant Mitchell in his new creation, "The Champion." It was a fine play. I had seen this great actor in the play. I was anxious to leave for New York and on Saturday afternoon I was ready to leave. The invitation to Dr. Jones and his Madame to accompany as was accepted, although I looked dubiously at the waning sun and I did not like the idea of a trip in the midnight over unknown roads. My time was Limited and there was nothing to do but to forge ahead. We crossed over to Camden on the ferry boat and then through the city to the boulevard. As night came on, with the detours, the blue book was of over little service. Information given to us by the people along the route served its purpose excellently well. THAT DOWN-POUR OF RAIN Then came a down pour of rain. I got out to gist the lurge on the running board and I was wet the thoroughly. Robinson was still at the wheel while Mrs. Jones proved herself to be a good sleeper, practically in the arms of her husband. At one place we grouped to arrange the curtains and Mrs. Jones went inside to a white lady's house. She served her wel, while we waited a while for the cessation of the shower. Then once more we were on nor way to Lakewood. We had a long trip of it. We passed through Newark. There we met a stabwheel, who informed us that a booze cat had gone on ahead. AN ANXIOUS POLICEMAN He admitted that he would liked to have gotten a 'mib' himself. At times, it was puzzling. These streets and then those forks or cross roads but we usually found the signs, but time in reading them. It was 2:30 A. M. when we reached City City and with the wolf at the higher up, we found it 4 A. M. we had reached our destination New York. We carried Dr. Mrs. R. E. Jones to 236 W. 138 Then we sought quarters for a boy, badly admirably located 3 W. 129th street. In those pala apartments recently vacated by people, colored people now re sided paying as much as $105 per month for an apartment of six rooms including a small kitchen. SLEEPING TRAVELERS. There were all modern conveniences. John R. Coghill wanted to see his brothers-in-law and all of us went there with him. We did not see him any more until the next morning and then his brothers-in-law, Mr. John and Charley Hickman came with him. Evidently both had seen the 'sights of New York' for they both were happy. As for Roseco, Robinson and I we went to bed and slept until late that afternoon. I can do some sleeping myself, but I must admit that I was not 'in it' with Robinson and was out distanced by Roseco. Later we went out to get dinner. When we returned to our temporary home, I went to bed, while the others went out with the car A BURNING BRAKE LINING There was one feature of our trip on the streets of New York that Sunday. We were travelling at a 'lively clip' when some one halted us with the remark that our brake lining was on fire. Robinson stopped and sure enough smoke was issuing from the left rear wheel of the car. We got out in a hurry. Robinson had been traveling too fast. His brakes were set too tight and the friction had caused the brake lining to burn. There was no flame and after loosening the brakes and waiting for a while, we were able to proceed. I rested well that night and when morning came, I was arranging to return to Philadelphia and then to Richmond. We had left the car on the outside in front of the entrance to the apartments. It proved to be a convenient temporary garage. JOHN MITCHELL JR. LIVING CONDITIONS. The conference of the Municipal Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Commerce met, Friday December 10th, 1920 in the lecture room of the Chamber of Commerce Building, Mr. Oscar E. Parrish, chairman presided while the redoubtable Mr. W. T. Dabney, secretary was very much in evidence guiding the proceedings. What the Conference did not know about the condition of Jackson Ward's streets from the Virginia University down to St. John street, after Mr. William A. Jordan got through with his detailed statement was very lithe. He made a good impression and the committee listened patiently to his recital. THAT SCHOOL REMOVAL Then came Mr. E. P. Johnson with the complaint of the citizens of Sydney over the removal of the colored school to a point north of Broad St. Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., also spoke and after other discussion, Mr. Jordan was chau on temporary chairman of the colored organization and Mr. B. A. Cephas, secretary. A committee was appointed on temporary organization on the motion of Col. Gibbs B. Jackson. It decided to meet last Monday 3 P. M. at the Mechanics Savings Bank. A permanent organization will be perfected at a future meeting. THE LAND PROJECT It seems that a pair of land has been secured by a syndicate, composed of Col. Giles B. Jackson, Attorney J. Thomas Howin, Rev. Exams Payne P. D., and some others to locate the colored people in comfortable new homes adjacent to Chamberlayne Avenue near the vault and an effort is being made to secure enough money from the leading bankers here to finish it. A meeting was held at the St. Luke Hall last Monday night in furtherance of the project. CHICAGO NEGROES WILL ACCEPT REDUCED WAGE. 76,000 Members of Union in Greec ment. Chicago, Dec. 11 — More than 70,000 Nergo laborers of Chicago and vicinity have arrived to accept a reduction in wages, rather than use their jobs owing to decreased production, R. P. Parker, president of the American Unity Labor Union, announced today. He said the union controlled more than 50,000 skilled and unskilled workers in the steel yards here, the steel mills in Gary Ind., and in form dries, factories and dooshs in and about Chicago. According to Mr. Parker officials of the union have agreed on a 10 per cent reduction for unskilled laborers and a 15 per cent cut for skilled laborers and will submit the proposition to their employees. Mr. Parker declared there were 100,000 unemployed Negroes in Chicago and vicinity. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920 SENATOR HARDING IS INTER VIEWED BY COLORED MEN IN PANAMA. Saturday, November 27th will not be soon forgotten by Colored Americans employed in the service of the Panama Caund; for it brought to us the rare opportunity of conferring with the President-elect of the United States in a specially arranged meeting at the Hotel Washington in Colon on the above date. There are twenty colored Ameri- lare and as soon as we heard that the President-elect would visit Panama and that the White American Employ- ces were planning to confer with him, we an once called a meeting in which definite plans were decided up on. Attorney, W. C. Todd, J. D., a grad ue of the Law Department of the University of Michigan, was made Chairman and Spokesman for the Com- cition which was to be prevent should the interview be granted. The other members were Secretar- tes, Neely, Manning, Collins, Eggle- son and Walker, Messers, H. and S. P. Wilson. The President-elect and his party orwed at Colon on Tuesday, 22d of November and we lost no time in get- ing in touch with some of those near set him, only to learn that his pro- gram was about filled but those who had charge of the affair soon be- come convinced that we were in earn- est and that the best way to get rid of Ous was to grant oor request. The interview was arranged for 5:30 P. M. at the Washington Hotel in Colon, Saturday, November 27th instant, it was not more than twelve minutes yet long enough for us to ex press in a few words our appreciation for his meeting us and what we hope his election means to Colored Americans. The President-elect in responding, said among other things that he was glad of our good wishes and that he hoped his administration would benefit all who claimed to be American. After a warm hand shake we left the Hotel. We are not yet able to predict just what the result of the meeting will be, but we wish it to be understood that we are not asking for favors, we only want equal rates of pay for the class of work performed and each other considerations as are sup posed to be accorded to all Americans employed in the service of the Panama Canal.

Marchant A delegation of Richmond Republican appeared before Judge Richardson in Hustings Court yesterday and presented the names of two adherents of that political party for his consideration in making appointments to the City Electoral Board. Melvin Flegcinier presented the names and argued that the minority party in this city should have one representative on the board. He named John B. Biley and Mrs. Myra S. Marchant as the nominees of the Republican party. Mr. Biley has served several terms in City Council as a Democrat. Judge Richardson will, in a few days, appoint some one to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Pellet Justice Ingram, who was see rotary of the board. It is reported there will soon be another vacancy. (Richmond, Times-Dispatch.) As the colored Republicans under the thirteenth district of J. R. Pollard, East, and R. V. Dorsey polled more votes than the 'Bly whites' it is to be expected that they too will recommend some one for the electoral board. SCROLLSHIPS GRANTED.

A LYNCHING IN TULSA, OKLA. Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 5—An unidentified Negro, charged with an attack this afternoon upon a white woman 67 years old was taken from the Hughes County jail at Holdenville tonight by a mob of about fifty men and handed to a telephone post. The Negro's body was then riddled with bullets. Officers immediately started in pursuit of the black, and two deputy theriffs came upon him about a mile from her home. The Negro opened. They returned the fire and the fugitive was wounded three times. The woman positively identified the prison et. Acting Governor R. L. Davidson was notified of the lynching tonight. He said he had no comment to make. NORFOLK GROCERY CLERK IS KILLED IN ROBBERY --- Norfolk, Va. Dec 5—Navy Patterson, colored arrested this morning charged with being one of three Negroes who shot and instantly killed Peter John, a grocery clerk, when he resisted their attempt to rob a ushersisted their attempt to rob a cash identified late this afternoon by Tas K. Tabet, proprietor of the store who was himself shot in the leg when he came to the assistance of his clerk. The Negroes entered the store just as it was being closed for the night. One asked for a package of cigarettes and offered a large bill. When John opened the register, he was covered with three revolvers, but instead of chewing a command to throw up his hands, reached for a pistol kept under the counter. A bullet fired af close range pierced his heart. Tabet ran into the store from a rear room and was met by a volley one bullet finding its mark. OPEN LETTER TO REV. T. A SCOTT, PASTOR CENTENARY M. E. CHURCH Edior Mitchell, Richmond Planet. Sir—Having just read in the Planet the following clipping, I am asking space for some comments on the pano. It is as follows: Rev. T. A. Smoot in Centenary Methodist Church although speaking on an evangelistic theme, declared that application of the Christian principle in settling all social, economic and racial disapproval should always be applied. He said that Christ should be made the central figure in settling all disputes and that those standing at the highest point of Christianity should make the greatest application of this. The New Testament teaches that the mission of Christ and Christianity in the world is to save both Jews and Gentiles from their sins and not to interfere with either their social economic or civil condition. Nor did He, during His stay on earth. So the Reverend & greatly mistaken in his view of the object of Christ and His mission. For so averse was He to concerning Himself with the business affairs of men while He was here, Luke, 12:13 shows that when He was requested to bid a man's brother divide the inheritance with him. He said: 'Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?' No. Jesus would not even tell the man's brother to divide. Take the case of John the Baptist in prison. This instance seems to have been one of the most opportune on record, if political was to be the work of Christ. He did not even petition Herod to release him, nor did He hear that John was beheaded. He left Judaea and went into Galloce. No, He did not even go to attend the funeral of John. Jesus told the people His kingdom was not of this world. I would say to Rev. Smoot that the onLY cure for Ku Klux Klan, and all other race hating Klan, is for the white race all over this country to un, and their great race prejudice, and race hate of the colored people, for they have had the benefit of Christianity for over 300 years and their race hate is deeper today than ever. For at one time they did not lynch and burn us at the stake as they to now. They then had a money gain Ius, but now that is lost. They just wrest their vengeance upon us at their pleasure. May God forgive them, and save them. (GEV.) HARVEN JOHNSON, 1923 Drill Hill Ave. Baltimore, Md December 12th, 1920 FULTON NOTES The services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church were very inspiring last Sunday. Rev. C. A. Cobbs, our Pastor, preached in the morning, using as his subject, The L. Keness of Jouh and Christ. He seemed to be at his best and the arrangement of the sermon was so systematic that I was well remembered by those present. Many friends were present including Rev. Carter of Fountain Baptist Church. Some of the sick are: Sir Charles Clarke, Sir Joseph Henderson, Miss Lilly Hill, Mrs. William Jones and Miss Lucie Lee. They are all improving nicely. At 8:10 P. M.

RESOLUTION PANSES BODY WITH OUT DISSENTING VOTE Trading With Enemy, War Finance Corporation and Other Provisions Exempted. Washington, Dec. 13. Repeal of most of the war-time laws was voted today by the House, which adopted the Volstead resolution for that purpose. The vote on adoption of the resolution was unanimous, 323 votes being recorded as favoring it with none opposed. The House before taking the final vote accepted an amendment providing for inclusion of the lever food control act among the laws which the resolution would repeal. The amendment, which covers all provisions of the food control act with the exception of the section relating to rents in the District of Columbia, was offered by Representative Bland, Republican, Indiana. It was carried by a vote of 179 to 137. The resolution which now goes to the Senate, except from repeal only, the trading with the enemy act, the War Finance Corporation act and its amendments and measures dealing with the issuance of Liberty and Victory bonds. WAR TENTATIVELY ENDED The resolution declares any act of Congress that by its terms is in force only during the existence of a state of war and a limited time the enactment shall be continued and administration as if the present war terminated on the date which this resolution becomes effective. The measure adopted is practically identified with that preceded by Congress just before the adjournment of the last session and voted by President Wilson. Republican leaders of the House asserted tonight that adoption of the resolution was one of the first steps taken by the Republican majority to fulfill the campaign pledge to put the country on a peace-time basis. Disposition of the Volstead resolution clears the way for consideration of the resolution offered by Representative Reavis, Republican, Nebraska, which would provide for a congressional survey of the government's administration department. A special rule limiting debate will be presented tomorrow by chairman Campbell of the Rukes Committee and action on the floor will follow a vote on the adoption of the rule. ST.

ANNOUNCES VICTORY IN ARKANSAS RIOT CASES Supreme Court of Arkansas Reversed Decision of Lower Court in Case of Siv Men Condexed to Die. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 76 Fifth Avenue, New York today announced an important victory in the case of the colored men condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. The Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas has reversed the decision of the lower courts condemning the men to death. This is the second reversal by the State Supreme Court of Arkansas in these cases and announcement was made by James Woldon Johnson Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the fight will be contested in the courts until justice is held. The Supreme Court of Arkansas in reversing the decision of the lower court held. 1. That discrimination against the barred from the grand and petit juries trying them was in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and of the Civil Rights act of 1875. 2. That 2. that the lower courts had erred in refusing to hear evidence on a motion to set aside the regular panel of the jury. Word comes from Arkansas that the other six men whose death sentences the Supreme Court refused to review, will probably not be executed pending determination of the cases recently reversed. ST. PAUL CLOSES BRILLIANT FOOTBALL SEASON. (By J. J. Whitehead) Lawrenceville, Va.—On Thursday November 25th (Thanksgiving day) St. Paul Normal and Industrial School played Industrial Y. M. C. A. of Newport News, Va.—one of the clearest, heaviest and most scientifically trained football elevens in the State—A scoreless game thus closing the most brilliant football season in the School's annuals of this indispensable sport. Both Coach Taylor's and Coach Brown's men fought tenaciously for victory; and each team played a hard fast and modern game from start to finish that at the opportune moment neither eleven could gain advantage. The forward pass was cleverly handled by both sides, kick-offs and punts were exceptionally good; fumbles few and the teamwork which was exhibited by both squads has never been surpassed—these were the corpulent features of the contest. The visitors attempted heavy line builds and cross-field runs; but St. Paul's impregnable line could not be broken nor could her ends be skirted. The 'Y' also played a good defensive gate. Both offensively and defensively the opposing teams were about evenly balanced. St. Paul's boys were alert; in perfect form and never played a more interesting and satisfactory game. COLORED EX-POSTMASTER DEAL Captain James H. Cummisham, Sr. departed this life Sunday night December 12, 1920 at his residence in South Richmond, after an illness of about five days. Captain Cummisham was one of the best known citizens on the Southside and was respected by both white and colored people. He was at one time postmaster of Manchester, now South Richmond.

WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. --- VOLUME XXXVIII. NO. 6 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS MUCH WORRIED. He always brings me my coffee had come on the regulation time and also his morning paper. The man servant had brought it where he had been told to bring it and it had pass it in. I had passed it in too and I remembered the picture of the laughing cat under which was written "I've eaten the canary." I drank Dr. Jones coffee. There was a laugh all around, while the man servant said nothing more than to remark that he had carried it where Dr. Jones had always told him to bring it and he had not changed the orders. THE DUNBAR THEATRE. The next morning I went down to see about the car. It would be ready that afternoon. It may be well to state that the afternoon before I had visited the new Dunbar Theatre, the creation of Bankers Brown and Stovens. The latter furnished us with complimentary tickets and we enter at this fine theatrical edifice, built 'to the minute' by the latest designs in theatrical architecture. It is a Grand Williams is the manager, but we did not meet him and we learned that President Brown was recuperating at Atlantic City, having suffered a nervous breakdown. A GRAND PLAY. The play was a magnificent one and did credit to the performers and the management. It must have taken a fortune to operate this place and how were the people patronizing this remarkable effort in their behalf? The night shows were packed. We hean to wonder if our people will ever learn. Certainly this great veneur in Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia where colored people are so numerous that the one gets the idea that he is in the black belt of Mississippi, money should be made by such a venture. We met Attorney J. C. Ashbury. He was making money too, he said. He had invested not in a theatre but in a grave-yard. AN ACTIVE PHYSICIAN Dr. R. F. Jones who had been in adiposed while lying in Richmond was a well man while walking the streets of Philadelphia and I had all I could do to keep up with him. That night, in company with his Madame we went to see Grant Mitchell in his new creation, "The Champion." It was a fine play. I had seen this great actor in the play. I was anxious to leave for New York and on Saturday afternoon I was ready to leave. The invitation to Dr. Jones and his Madame to accompany as was accepted, although I looked dubiously at the waning sun and I did not like the idea of a trip to Camden or unknown roads. My time was kitted out nothing to do but to forge ahead. We crossed over to Camden on the ferry boat and then through the city to the boulevard. As night came on, with the detours, the blue hook was of ver little service. Information given to us by the people along the route served its purpose excellently well. THAT DOWN-POUR OF RAIN Then came a down pour of rain. I got out to adjust the luggage on the running board and I was wet thoroughly. Robinson was still at the wheel while Mrs. Jones proved herself to be a good sleeper, practically in the arms of her husband. At one place we stopped to arrange the curtains and Mrs. Jones went inside to a white lady's house. She served her wel, while we wafted a while for the cessation of the shower. Then once more we were on our way to Lakewood. We had a long trip of it. We passed through Newark. There we met a slawyer policeman, who informed us that a booze car had gone on ahead. AN ANXIOUS POLICEMAN He admitted that he would liked to have gotten a 'nip' himself. At times, it was puzzling. Those streets and then those forks or cross roads but we usually found the signs, but last time in reading them. It was about 2:30 A.

Then we sought another selfie, holding admirably located 43 W. 129th street. In those pala apartments recently vacated by 5 people, colored people, new re sided paying as much as $105 per month for an apartment of six rooms including a small kitchen. SLEEPING TRAVELERS There were all modern convenances. John R. Coxbill wanted to see his brothers-in-law, and all of us went there with him. We did not see him any more until the next morning and then h's brothers-in-law, Mr. John and Charley Hickman came with him. Evidently both had seen the 'sights of New York' for they both were happy. As for Roscoe, Robinson and I we went to bed and slept until late that afternoon. I can do someoplepity for you, but I must admit that I was not 'in it' with Robinson and was outdistanced by Roscoe. Later we went out to get dinner. When we returned to our temporary home, I went to bed, while the others went out with the car. A BURNING BRAKE LINING There was one feature of our trip on the streets of New York that Sunday. We were travelling at a 'lively clip,' when some one halted us with the remark that our brake lining was on fire. Robinson stopped and sure enough smoke was issuing from the left wheel of the car. We got out of a hurry. Robinson had been celing too fast. His brakes were set too tight and the friction had caused the brake lining to burn. There was no flame and after loosening the brakes and waiting for a while, we were able to proceed. I rested well that night and when morning came, I was arranging to return to Philadelphia and then to Richmond. We had left the car on the outside in front of the entrance to the apartments. It promised to be a convenient temporary JOHN MITCHELL JR. LIVING CONDITIONS. The conference of the Municipal Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Commerce met, Friday December 10th, 1920 in the lecture room of the Chamber of Commerce Building, Mr. Oscar E. Perrish, chairman presided while the redoubtable Mr. W. T. Dabney, secretary was very much in evidence guiding the proceedings. What the Conference did not know about the condition of Jackson Ward's streets from the Virginia University down to St. John street, after Mr. William A. Jordan got through with his detailed statement was very litle. He made a good impression and the committee listened patiently to his recital. THAT SCHOOL REMOVAL Then came Mr. E. F. Johnson with the complaint of the citizens of Sydeny over the removal of the colored school to a point north of Broad St. Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., also spoke and after other discussion, Mr. Jordan was chaperon temporary chairman of the colored organization and Mr. B. A. Cephas, secretary. A committee appointed on temporary organization of the school (GITB) B. Jackson. It decided to meet last Monday 3 P. M. at the Mechanics Savings Bank. A permanent organization will be perfected at a future meeting. THE LAND PROJECT It soog: that a parcel of land has been secured by a syndicate, composed of Col. Giles B. Jackson, Attorney J. Thomas Hewin, Rev. Evans Payne D. D., and some others to locate the colored people in comfortable new homes adjacent to Chamberlayne Ave. near the vladict and an effort is being made to remove them from the leading bankers here to fini nce H. A meeting was held at the St Luke Hall last Monday in furtherance of the project. CHICAGO NEGROES WILL ACCEPT REDUCED WAGE 70,000 Members of Union in Greve ment. Chicago, Dec. 11—More than 70,000 Negro laborers of Chicago and vicinity have agreed to accept a reduction in wages rather than lose their jobs, owing to decreased production, R. E. Parker, president of the American Unity Labor Union, announced today. He said the union controlled more than 50,000 skilled and unskilled workers in the stock yards here, the steel mills in Gary Ind., and in four dries, factories and doocks in and around Chicago. Accorded to Mr. Parker officials of the union have agreed on a 10 per cent reduction for unskilled laborers and a 15 per cent, out of skilled laborers and will submit the proposition to their employers. Mr. Parker declared there were 100,000 unemployed Negroes in Chicago and vicinity. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920 SENATOR HARDING IS INTER VIEWED BY COLORED MEN IN PANAMA Saturday, November 27th will not be soon forgotten by Colored Americans employed in the service of the Panama Canal; for it brought to us the rare opportunity of conferring with the President-elect of the United States in a specially arranged meeting at the Hotel Washington in Colon on the abovo date. There are twenty colored Ameri- there and as soon as we heard that the President-elect would visit Panama and that the White American Employees were planning to confer with him, we at once called a meeting in which definite plans were decided up on. Attorney, W. C. Todd, J. D., a grad use of the Law Department of the University of Michigan, was made Chairman and Spokesman for the Com mittee which was to be proponent should the interview be granted. The other members were Secretries, Nedy, Manning, Collins, Eggleton and Wuller, Messrs. H. and S. P. Wilson. The President-elect and his party arrived at Colon on Tuesday, 23rd of November and we lost no time in getting in touch with some of those near him, only to learn that his program was about filled but those who had charge of the affair soon became convinced that we were in earnest and the best way to get rid of a man with a bad request. The interview was for 5:30 P. M. at the Washington Hotel in Colon, Saturday, November 27th instant, it was not more than twelve minutes yet long enough for us to express in a few words our appreciation for his meeting us and what we hope his election means to Colored Americans. The President-elect in responding, said among other things that he was glad of our good wishes that he hoped his administration would benefit all who claimed to be Americans. After a warm hand shake we left the Hotel. We are not yet able to predict just what the result of the meeting will be, but we wish it to be understood that we are not asking for favor, we only want equal rates of pay for the same class of work performed and such other considerations as are supposed to be accorded to all Americans employed in the service of the Panama Canal.

A delegation of Richmond Republicans appeared before Judge Richardson in Hustings Court yesterday and presented the names of two adherents of that political party for his consideration in making appointments to the City Electoral Board. Melvin Fleg einhimer presented the names and argued that the minority party in this city should have one representative on the board. He named John B. Bitley and Mrs. Myra S. Marshall as the nominates of the Republican party. Mr. Elliley has served several terms in City Council as a Democrat. Judge Richardson will, in a few days, appoint some one to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Police Justice Ingram, who was secretary of the board. It is reported there will soon be another vacancy. (Richmond, Times-Dispatch.) As the colored Republicans under the leadership of J. R. Pollard, Esq., and R. V. Dorsey polled more votes than the 'Y' whites' it is to be expected that they too will recommend some one for the electoral board. SCHOLARSHIPS GRANTED.

A LYNCHING IN TULSA, OKLA. Tulsa, Oglan, Dec. 5—An unidentified Negro, charged with an attack this afternoon upon a white woman 67 years old was taken from the Hughes County jail at Holdenville tonight by a mob of about fifty men and hanged to a telephone post. The Negro's body was then riddled with bullets. Officers immediately started in pursuit of the black, and two deputy riffles came upon him about a mile from her home. The Negro opened. They returned the fire and the fugitive was wounded three times. The woman positively identified the prisoner. Acting Governor R. L. Davidson was notified of the lynching tonight. He said he had no comment to make. NORFOLK GROCERY CLERK IS KILLED IN ROBBERY. ```markdown ``` Norfolk, Va. Dec. 5—Navy Patterson, colorized arrested this morning charged with being one of three Negroes who shot and instantly killed Peter John, a grocery clerk, when he resisted their attempt to rob a cash identified late this afternoon by Phas K. Tahet, proprietor of the store who was himself shot in the leg when he came to the assistance of his clerk. The Negroes entered the store just as it was being closed for the night. One asked for a package of cigarettes ad offered a large bill. When John opened the register he was covered with three revolvers, but instead of obeying command to throw up his hands, reached for a plate under the counter. A bullet fired at close range pierced his heart. Tahet ran into the store from a rear room and was met by a volloy one bullet finding its mark. OPEN LETTER TO REV. T. A SCOTT NONINARY M. M. CHURCH M. R. CHURCH Edior Mitchell, Richmond Planet. Sir—Having just read in the Planet the following clipping, I am asking space for some comments on the game. It is as follows: Rev. T. A. Smoot in Centenary Methodist Church although speaking on an evangelistic theme, declared that application of the Christian principle in settling all social, economic and racial disproportion should always be applied. He said that Christ should be made the central figure in settling all disputes and that those standing at the highest point of Christianity should make the greatest application of this. The New Testament teaches that the mission of Christ and Christianity in the world is to save both Jews and Gentiles from their sins and not to interfere with other their social economic or civil condition. Nor did He, during His stay on earth, So the Reverend is greatly mistaken in his view of the object of Christ and His mission. For so averse was He to concerning Himself with the business affairs of men white. He was here, Luke. 12:13 shows that when He was requested to bid a man's brother divide the inheritance with him. He said: 'Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?' No. Jesus would not even tell the man's brother to divide. Take the case of John the Baptist who have been one of the benefactors on record. If political was to be the work of Christ. He did not even petition Herod to release him, nor did He visit him in prison. But when Jesus heard that John was beheaded, He left Judges and went into Galileo. No, He did not even go to attend the funeral of John. Jesus told the people His kingdom was not of this world. I would say to Rev. Smoot that the only care for Ku Klux Klan, and all other race hating Klan, is for the white race all over this country to unlead their great race prejudice, and race hate of the colored people, for the colorless benefit of Christianity for over 300 million of their race hate is deeper today than ever. For at one time they did not lynch and burn us at the stake as they do, but now that is lost. They just wrest their vengeance upon us at their own pleasure. May God forgive them, and save them.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today announced a court victory in the case of the colored condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. The Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas reversed the decision of the lower courts condemning the men to death. This is the second reversal by the State Supreme Court of Arkansas in cases and announcement was made by James Woldon Johnson Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the fight will be continued in the courts justice is had. The Supreme Court of Arkansas in reversing the decision of the lower court held. 1. That discrimination against the barred from the grand and petit jurors trying them was in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and of the Civil Rights act of 1875: 2. That the lower courts had orred in refusing to hear evidence on a motion to set aside the regular panel of the jury. Word comes from Arkansas that the other six men whose death sentences the Supreme Court refused to review, will probably not be executed pounding determination of the cases recently reversed. (By J.

A. of Newport News, Va.—one of the cleanest, heaviest and most scientifically trained football players in the State—A scoreless game closing the most brilliant football season in the School's annals of this indispensable sport. Both Coach Taylor and Coach Brown's men fought tenaciously for victory; and each team played a hard fast and modern game from start to finish but at the opportune moment eleven could gain advantage. The former pass was cleverly handled by both sheikh-backs and punkte exceptionally good; fumables fow and the teamwork which was exhibited by both squads had never been surpassed—these were the coxplous features of the contest. The visitors attempted heavy line bucks and cross-field runs; but St. Paul's impregnable line could not be broken nor her could be skirted. The Y' boys played a good defensive gate. Both positively and defensively the opposing teams were about evenly balanced. St. Paul's boys were alert; in perfect form and never played a more interesting and satisfactory game. COLORED EX-POSTMASTER DEAL Captain James H. Cunningham, Sr. departed this life Sunday night, December 12, 1920 at his residence in South Richmond, after an illness for five days.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES As a rule, a man's worst enemy is himself. Some people talk too much and but too people talk too little. Sentimental women talk love; practical women talk business. Many men have good wives and they do not seem to appreciate them. In this country, they have about ridden the 'Theory horse' to death. Women, who remain single are as well off as the men, who remain the same way. When a white man is mean, he is as mean as a colored man, who is also permeated with meanness. Colored folks, make friends with the white folks, who will let you make friends with them. They passed a compulsory education law in Virginia without first providing for school houses for the children to attend. People who seek to get 'something for nothing" are soon in the class of the people who get nothing for some thing. Some people in this country have more sympathy for the starving hordes of Europe than they have for the suffering children of America. ```markdown ``` Save your money and then you can face hard times. Spend all your money and adversity will have a ten-fold terror for you. Some people are so lazy that they will not work themselves and they will not let any one else work if they can prevent it. Food is all right, if it is cooked properly. As between the cooking school and the 'old mammy recipes,' give us the 'old mammy' recipes. Colored folks have been fed on promises so long that they have gotten as lean as the horse that was fitted with green goggles and fed on shavings. When colored people learn to be polite and obliging to each other, they will be ready to be polite and accommodating to their white neighbors. Justice H. A. Maurice did not hold the office of Police Justice of Richmond long enough to keep the seat warm, but he held it long enough to find out who his friends were and they shack by him with the faithful mess of Gen. Grant's famous 306. --- Some people believe in heaven, but do not believe in the other place. Shadows go with light, clouds with sunshine and sorrow with happiness. You cannot get the one without expecting the other. Justice John J. Ingram had the 'time of his life' getting into office and now some people are heartless enough to propose a reduction of his fees and his salary, for his fees are a part of his salary. Our personal opinion is that well-nigh all of our jurists are under-paid and only the 'force of habit' keeps them upon the bench. The preachers have not exactly struck for higher wages,' but some of them have lowered the standard of their sermons to fit the amount of their salaries. After listening to some of them we are in favor of higher salaries, in order that we may once more hear the resonant musical voice of the minister calling to his flock. THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA The situation in Russia is puzzling to the average citizen, but to those who have watched for many years the progress of affairs in this unhappy local, there can be no mystery as to the existing conditions. The Czar of all the Russias was in a league with Great Britain and the rost of the Allies. It was the movement of Russian troops acting on 'the orders of Czar Nicholas and he being guided by his alliance with Sorbia and the Allies that caused the mobilization of the German troops under Kalser Wilhelm. The Russian troops were first mobilized and when the Kaiser demanded that this cease and the troops be recalled his demands went unheeded and this formed the excuse for the march of the German army. When Gor many went against Russia, France was called to action for France was in an open Alliance with Russia and was pledged to come to her aid when her soil was invaded. Knowing this, the Kaiser launched his first attack against his southern neighbor, France and then the war was on in earnest although Great. Britain made frantic at tempts to stop it. Thousands of Germans did not believe that Great Britain would declare war against Germany. The two rulers were cousins. But she could not avoid it. for Great Britain was in a close alliance with France and when she sent out a call for help, there was no other honorable course, but for her to respond. The powerful German army had all of Europe on its knees and it was only by starvation, the economic blockade that caused women and children to suffer and a continuation of the struggle that saved the day long enough for the United States of America to come to the aid of the nations of Europe. In the meantime, the Germans had rolled up defeat after defeat against the Russians. Misery and we reigned in the dominions of the Czar. General Von Hindenberg made the reputation of the century by his great victories over the Russian troops and the rumble of a revolution was heard in the distance. The Allies had advanced millions of dollars to Russia to finance the war. France advanced more than any other nation. But we are profiling the story. Czar Nicholas and his family were assassinated and the so-called representatives of the people held sway. Rapine and murder followed. Then followed another revolution and then came what is known as socialism and communism, where the State owns everything and the individual is supposed to own nothing. Then came Lenine and Trotzky, men who had been in poverty, but who up on this upheaval wave of the populace were entrusted with power. They overturned the fundamental principles of government, disregarded the rules of finance and repudiated the debts contracted by previous governments. As a result, the Russian stocks bonds and other obligations became worthless in other countries. When Lenine and Trotzky came into power, they wanted recognition from foreign governments. Instead, France financed revolution after revolution against the present Russian government. Gen. Wrangel was the last insurgent, whose army was destroyed by the socialistic armies of Russia. Some Governments have recognized Russia and are trading with her, but the leading nations hesitate to do this until she agrees to recognize and she attempts to pay the billions of dollars charged against her. Russia must for the time being prosper, but this cannot last. She is free from all but her present debts for she has repudiated those made by the Czar. The Allied nations are hoping for another upheaval, when a government will come into power that will recognize those billions of bonds held by France and by other nations. Then recognition will be accorded and trading relationships resumed. Until that time, Russia must 'hoe her own row' and even the United States of America will hesitate about resuming trade relations with her. American investors too hold some of this discarded Russian paper, while Great Britain is a heavy loser as a result of this peculiar attitude of these 'newlycreated' Russian financiers. The out look is bright for Russia at present just like it was bright at one time for Germany and her allies, but the march of time and the steady handcaps that France and Great Britain THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA and other nations will interpose will yet bring the care-free statesman of today in that ley land to full realization that the troubles ahead will be too much for them to overcome without the co-operation and the assistance of the rest of the world.

Then shortly you lift it right off root and all, without pain or soreness. Hard corns, soft corns, corns between the toes, and the hard skin calluses on bottom of feet lift right off—no humbug! Tiny bottles of "Freezone" cost but a few corns at drug stores As Dead as the Dodo CALOMEL Every druggist in town—your druggist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results," said a prominent local druggist. Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead! Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs but a few cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant-tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults.
