And now the general scramble among the "leaders" of the race for some little job in Washington or else where has begun, and more big. Negroes are being discovered or have discovered themselves since November 2nd, than I ever knew were in the country, and I naturally ask my self from whence came they and which or do they thinking they are traveling and what do they expect to do when they get there? While the greatest minds of the country are concerning themselves with our international relations, foreign commerce, the League of Nations relief for the agricultural industries, and other questions that so vitally concern the whole people, our "big men" are interested in none of them, but the uppermost question that rises to their sight is, now that (a) battle is fought and the victory won, who among us is going to be Recorder of Deces, Register of the Treasury, Minister to Liberia, or Haiti, or Nine-tenth assistant Auditor to the first assistant to the fourth assistant Auditor of the Department of Governmental Jenkins. And if any body would tell me why any self respecting Negro wished to occupy any office in Washington or elsewhere under any administration I shall be extremely glad to be informed. Why any colored gentlemen desires to go to Washington or elsewhere to be a "servant of servants" and to dwell in the tents of his brethren, puzzles me to know. I have been in this old world some little time and have seen a few things but among the things that I have not seen is a Negro office holder in Washington or elsewhere that was worth to the race in five cent piece and a punched diner. The greatest function that any of the to be ever all charges is to shine at some Negro High Society event which high society consists of Negro clerks, devtor raisers and school teachers with a few restaurant keepers shown in and the reason for their presence is that they often have sup plied the establishs the payment for while they will possibly have to wait for their payday." Why any body who has news per cent is all satisfied and that the public of whichtig an influence that will respond to the benefit of two millions of people should give no more than there to go to Washington to be to the shuffle shuffle my unmounting. Why any Negro lawyer could give a proof that encobles him to provide a living for his family. "I will go to Washington to be the first letter attorney general," to the "who with respect to army general and who will never be questioned in defence opinion upon any question that could not be decided by any country, justice of the place in Virginia, goes by I have my doubts that any of these big "rime men" who are of murdering for these insufficient jobs for they are nothing else, could make no punch money at any other thing than is paid by these petty places for which they are breaking their own oak and the needs of others to obtain. And all the subleaders in which the Nixon is peculiarly interested, may go to the dogs and then some, just so "My" ambition to get an easy seat on the government pay war is set in for them, that I such law and its punishment, secrecy in inter-state travel, inability to get first chose nomination for first class form a day in day coach in court of a Delphin barto, taxation without representation, these and hundreds of other matters in which this race is mighty interest have go above on the program of our Government presidents; the race may go to the place in the humour, though not discovered, by Colonel Davis; if they can be got out trained by any little so called office at the seat of the mighty.

The great Galilean said. First seek ye the kingdom of heaven and the righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. It seems to me that if our so called leaders would first seek to obtain the rights that be long to the Negro, not as a Negro, but as an American citizen, then all things subordinate there to would be added, not only unto them but unto any of the race who shall prove them worthy. --- Federal Investigation Demanded, Also Denial of Mailing Privileges, Police and Justice Departments Informed.

Finecastle, Va., Dec 19 — A posse of citizens of Finecastle headed by Deputy Shortif Caldwell today and tonight were searching with Bloodhounds for Edward Thompson, 30, a Negro who had just made a spectacular escape when a mob have tried to take him from the deputy sheriff after that owl or had arrested the Negro on a charge of having fired into a crowd of white bones on a Finecastle street night, mortally wounding one of them and injuring three others.

Deputy Showiff and Citizens Scour Country for Black Alleged to Have Killed Youth. PUT BLOODHOUNDS ON SCENT In Confusion Following Firing of Shot, Accused Leaps From Automobile and Makes Get-Away, Amid Pusillishment of Bullets. Fincastle, Va., Dec. 19—A posse of citizens of Fincastle headed by Deputy Sheriff Caldwell today and tonight were searching with bloodhounds for Edmund Thompson. 30, a Negro who last night made a spectacular escape when a mob here tried to take him from the deputy sheriff after that officer had arrested the Negro on a charge of having fired into a crowd of white boys on a Fincastle street last night, mortally wounding one of them and seriously injuring three others. Soon after the shooting which authorities say occurred last night about 8:30 o'clock and was provoked when one of the white boys threw a tire cracker at Thompson's feet the Negro was arrested at the home of his father on the outskirts of the town, by Deputy Sheriff Caldwell and Turer McDowell clerk of the county court. The four wounded boys immediately were taken to a Roanoke hospital and Peek Austin, 17, died soon after arrival there. The other boys, all of whom are expected to recover are James Bayno, 15; Roy Young, 16 and Roy Lee 17. While attempting to take their prisoner to Ranoke, the deputy sheriff and McDowell near intercepted on the road near Amsterdam, twelve miles from here and forced by a mob of 100 men to return here. When the mob reached Fleniscue according to the authorities, a dispute between the deputy sheriff and members of the mobrose over whether the prisoner should be lynched or placed in the county jail. Suddenly an unidentified man said to have been an army over cost allowed his way through the crowd, rushed up to the automobile containing the prisoner and exclaimed: "If you're going to lynch him, do it now" and fired a revolver at the Negro's head. Confusion followed some of the wonders of the mob taking refuge in the newly built buildings and Thompson with a cry of "Oh, my God!" jumped from the automobile and fled. About twenty shots were fired at him but he disappeared in the darkness. This happened shortly before midnight. Moodhounds in Roanoke were sent for and the man hunt began early to day. IN MEMORY.

The outlook for universal peace is this world of universal war is geomy. Most people cannot buy a home for the reason that they dress and eat all their earnings. Faith without works is dead and prayer without works is in the same condition. The grave has no terrors for some people until they get ill and believe that they will soon have the need of one. Teaching children farming, who have no energy or liking for gardening is throwing the public money away. Some people have to be shoved in the direction of heaven and these same people will walk in the direction of the other place willingly Attending to other people's business and leaving one's own business unattended still seems to be a favorite past time with some people. Whipping children for doing wrong and then doing wrong in the sight of these same children is very poor practice and will result in no good for the children. 123 Some people are "old fogles." They do not like to see young girls marching through the streets of the city, drilling as though they expect to be the nation's future soldiers. ```markdown ``` People, who spend all that they make for fear that some one else may enjoy what they have accumulated usually become the object of charity themselves and die in the poor-house. Supporting a colored paper at two dollars per year seems to be a pleasant past-three on the part of some people, who read the paper and see just what it is doing for the race, with which they are identified. Sending children to school hungry and feeding them only with the contents of the school-books and the wisdom of the school-teacher may work all right for a while, but it tends to raise more light fingored thieves and heavy-footed crooks than any other method. Well, some of these white folks have finally come to the conclusion that the colored folks of this country will continue to live here and they might as well get along with them in peace. The colored folks have been believing that thing all the time. THE TREATMENT OF BLACK NATIONS Editor Edward B. McLean of the Washington, D. C., Post is doing some plain talking these days, if we are to judge by an editorial in the issue of that journal of the 26th utl. He says: As the hour approaches when the present administration will cease, it is announced that a change of policy has been adopted with regard to the Dominican Republic. The mailed text is to be relaxed and a preface of self government is to be set up, under the eye of an American "adviser." The American military governor, Rear Admiral Snowden, has issued a proclamation announcing that he will appoint a commission which is to be permitted to draft amendments to the Dominican constitution to suit him, and to reviso the laws according to American diagnet. If the military diplator shall then be pleased to approve of these measures they will be passed on to a constitutional convention and to the congress of Santo Domingo. If the people do not approve of the changes prescribed by American military force, the guns of the United States will continue to bear upon the country and an American naval officer will remain as dictator. That is the delectable Christmas gift proffered to the Dominican Republic, a nation that has a treaty with the United States in which the independence of the Dominican Republic is recognized. This is done under the guise of "self-determination" for small nations, it continues: The people of the Dominican republic have been under American military rule since 1916. The occupation was made under the alleged authority of the treaty, but it is impossible to find any language in the treaty authorizing the United States to sniff out the Dominican government, oust all it officials, abolish its congress, suspend its laws and prohibit its people from holding elections or organizing a government. At the time the United States government assumed control of the Dominican Republic it was said that the island government had run into debt and was dislinlined to turn from extravagant ways. Yet the foreign debt payments were always mot, and a few words of warning from the United States ought to have been sufficient to deter the Dominicans from any policy that might run counter to treaty obligations. The debt, even if incurred, was probably not a violation of the treaty; but putting the worst possible face upon it, and admitting that the Dominican Gov. was extravagant and obstinate, there was no justification whatever for the drastic steps taken by the Washington administration in the name of the people of the United States. Will this deception, this double dealing ever end? He continues: The people of the United States knew nothing of the situation in Santo Domingo and Haiti. They are not even now informed of the doings of the American forces of occupation. The administration has scrupulously guarded all avenues of information and has blocked attempted investigators. The mails have been heavily contorted and natives of Santo Domingo and Haiti have been warned not to agitate for a resumption of domes tic control. In the case of Haiti, a constitution was shaped by the representative of Secretary Daniels, and the government of that country was commanded to accept the greedy. There was no alternative, as American warships were on the spot to support the demands of Secretary Daniels' representative. It was stated during the campaign by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt that he drew up the constitutions for Haiti and Santo Domingo. But even this high source of authorship did not carry the right to insurp the liberties of a neighboring free people and to substitute the rule of an American dictator backed by naval guns. Mr. Roosevelt spoke admiringly of his handwork, as if it greatly exceeded any thing that the Haitians or Dominicans could have done for themselves. Perhaps his work was superior to the poor statecraft of the islanders; but their work was their own, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that the people have a right to choose their own government. His work, however brilliant, was exactly on a par with the laws which England enacted and attempted to thrust down the threats of Americans in 1775. Free men object to constitutions and laws framed for them by foreigners, no matter how brilliant the workmanship, Mr. Roosevelt's intentions doubtless were of the best; but like his famous chief Secretary Danteu, he lacked the ability to distinguish wrong from right. Hence, all the consequences flowing from the intervent on 'Haiti and Santo Domingo have been evil. The people of those republics are deeply wounded and the United States government will have to do much in the right direction before they will repose confidence in it again. Central and South American republics have seen the unwarranted occupation of the two islands republics and have voted the unnecessary severity of the Daniels regime of armed dictatorship. All the high-sounding assurances leading from eloquent lips at gorgeous banquet tables do not offset the plain record of aggression in Haiti and Santo Domingo—aggression unknown to the American people, unauthorized by them, and directly contrary to their traditions and wishes. This very able journalist concludes as follows: The wiping out of every vestige of unlawful occupation of the two countries named, and the restoration to the peoples of their own government in the plain duty of the United Stat- government in its execution of the true spirit of the Monroe doctrine. Evidently the expelling administration does not intend to perform this duty. Is there any surprise that the people of this country finally lose confidence in their own Government? We all can understand why Thomas Jefferson voiced the pont-up feelings of his heart when he exclaimed: Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just. $2.00 sent to this office will place The Planet in your home THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FINCASTLE BOY TO BE PLACED ON TRIAL SOON. Boy Who Killed White Boy to Face Jury When Bullet Wound Heals. Ronokoe, Va., Dec. 21.—As soon as he recovers from a wound received when he was surrounded and captured by a posse near Troutville, Va., early today, Edmund Thompson the Negro who killed a white boy and wounded three others at Fincastle last Saturday night, will be placed on trial in the county court at Fincastle. Com nonweath's Attorney Road of Botot court County, announced tonight. The Negro was brought to Ronokoe and placed in the jail infirmary. His wound is not serious. Thompson was surrounded in a wood and was not taken until he had been shot down. His capture was brought about by a white woman at a farmhouse. Thompson applied to her for breakfast, whereupon she gave him some thing to eat and telephoned for the shrift. The shooting occurred when Thompson was angered by the throwing of fire crackers under his foot. He fired in to the crowd of boys five times. Officers arrested him but he was soon taken on away from them by a mob from which he later escaped, remaining at large until this morning. The Negro is said by Botetourt County officers not to be seriously wounded. He was struck in the back and scalp by small shot from a shot gun. B B B B TAR AND FEATHER VICTIM STAYS IN JACKSONVILLE. Real Estate Dealer, Who Objected to Word Hun, Will Disregard Warning. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 20—That John D. Bischoff, real estate dealer, who was tarred and feathered and dumped out of an automobile on a prominent downtown corner of the city early last night, will not regard the warning of his persecutors and leave Jacksonville, was the statement made this morning by Lalah M. Bischoff his wife. Bischoff was at his home this morning and refused to see any one, but his wife said that he expected to be at his real estate office this afternoon. It is stated that Bischoff will give no description of his assailants who told him that if he 'd not like the way this country was run to get out of it.' The attack upon Bischof followed publication Saturday afternoon in a Jacksonville newspaper of a letter written by him objecting to the use of the word 'hunt' in the columns of the paper and threatening to withdraw his advertising. Bischof was lured from his home to a downtown hotel by a telephone call. When he reached the front of the hotel four men with revolvers surrounded him, husted him into a waiting automobile tied a black bag over his head and placed handcuffs on his wrists. The car without lights or license numbers, sped to a stream on the out skirts of the city. The man's clothing was removed and tar and feathers carefully applied. He was returned to the city and set out of the car on a crowd ed street corner at 8:40 P. M. without clothing except a loin cloth and with a sign reading: "Herr John Bischof a hun" across his chest. After ejecting, Bischoff the four masked men sped away and were lost in the traffic. The curious crowd finally placed the man in another car and he was rushed to the police station and then home. --- TEXANS LYNCH ALLEGED MURDERER OF POLICE MAN.

Several shots were fired into his body. Vickery was taken from the jail in his night clothing by twenty-five masked and armed men, who forced the prison guards to surrender the keys to the cells. Police officials, notified by an anonymous telephone message that a lynching was in progress, found his body hanging to a tree near the Packing House district. The lynching was quietly and quickly accomplished. The mob roped up to the jail in five automobiles. A number carrying drawn revolvers, entered the basement and after threatening the jailer and guards procured the keys and went direct to Vickery's cell. The prisoner was placed in the front automobile the other four fall in line. They went down Samuel's house a prominent residence street, hence to a bridge that spans the Treaty River at the end of this avenue. Holding there, Vickery was removed from the automobile and hanged to a near by hackberry tree. No one who witnessed the lynching has been found. The last seen of Vickery alive was when he was husted from the fall door into the automobile.

Vickery was 30 years old and had been employed as a service car driver. Couch was shot and killed white rosponding to a call from a garage for an officer to take charge of a drunk en man. It was stated today an investigation of the lynching will be made by the district grand jury at its next session.

Then he ordered the car with son in which he placed two of on with shotguns to take the position, and then he ordered car to being in the rear.

NEGBO site was taken with the ex- of some one hundred deter- mined men who were gathered in front of the postoffice and a doctor's office. The cars rolled into the place and were halted. Old men and young gathered about the car and dragged the Negro and officers from the automobile. Here Deputy Sheriff Caldwell and Clerk Turner McDowell put up another desperate fight for their prizer asking that the law be allowed to take its course. Hands reached out from the mob and grabbed the Negro and pulled him down a side alley be sure the postoffice. The crowd was too great for the officers. A man wearing an army overcoat, who said that he had served in the army, walked up to the crowd. MAN SHOOTS AT NEGRO. If you are going to lynch this Negro do it. He said and pointed his pistol at what seemed direct aim at the Negro's head, he fired. With that shot half of the mob fleed to cover and took refuge in the doctor's office across the street. A man who seemed old in years, rushed up to the representative of the press and demanded a pistol. Someone else in the crowd handed him one and other shots flared out on the night air. No lights were burning but from the small light that streaked out from the doctor's of fice the Negro was seen to dodge with the exclamation, "On, God save me!" Then down through a small alley-way that goes down by the court house to the river or creek the Negro fled into the darkness as shot after shot was fired at him. One member of the mob received a wound in the thigh, it is said while another man whom a representative of the press talked to, received a wound in the hand. NEGRO DISAPPEARS The Negro fled down the steep hill as the shots past him and then he was seen to stumble and cry out as if in pain. On the Negro fled as the mob firing blinding in the air went after him. He was seen to jump into a small creek and either swim or wade his way across. On the other side he shook himself and dived into the underbrush as the mob followed on after. That the Negro made good his escape was evidenced by the fact that followers returned in groups saying that he had made a clean getaway. Bloodhounds were sent from Roanoke but about half way here upon learning that the Negro had been cap turned around and came back. It was said last night that they were again to be taken to the scene of where the Negro disappeared and put on the trail. SEARCH CONTINUES Throughout the country last night between Roonoke and Fincastle deter mined men, infurred by the fact that he had escaped after he had been in the hands of the mob were searching the hills and automobiles were scattered broadcast through at this section adding in the search. Every pedes trian seen, every automobile that went along the way was stopped and questioned, but at a late hour the cut pilot had not been found although the search was going on to the fullest extent. Tim Dunbar, one of the young men in the crowd in front of the store who was an eye witness to the shooting said that only one firecreak er was put off and that it fell in the middle of the street. Then he said the Negro pulled his gun and began shoot ing. He dacked he said, and escaped injury, although young Austin who was killed, was guarding beside him. Deputy Sheaf Calewell and Clerk McDowell put up a game fight for their man from the very minute that the mob made its appearance at the cross roads. They could not be found after the Negro escaped that night, the belief being that they were still on the trail of the man as they were among the first who fled in pursuit of him as he broke away from the mob who had taken him from the officers.

ARKANSAS MOR KILLS ALLEGED COLORED SLAYER Wade Thomas is Taken from Jail Paraded in Streets and Strung to Telegraph Pole. --- Jonesboro, Ark., Dec. 26.—Wado Thomas, the Negro who last night is said to have killed Dimeo Ragland a policeman here during a raid on a dice game, was taken from the jail here tonight by a mob of about 400 citizens, and after being paraded through the business streets of the town, was hung to a telegraph pole near the scene of his crime. The body was then riddled with bullets. Thomas, the Negro lynched, was arrested curly this morning at Hoxo Arkansas and brought to jail here. Ar rangements had been made to call a special session of the grand jury on Monday to handle the case promptly. The mob went about its work quietly, the beadron demanding admission from the jailer, who after urging that the law be allowed to take its course turned over the keys. Thomas was taken from his cell and with a rope around his neck was paraded for several blocks through the central part of the town, the 400 or more members of the mob following quietly. The rope was finally thrown over the cross arm of a telegraph pole and after he was apparently dead the body was riddled with buttets. A number of other Negroes held in the jail in connection with the shooting of Rag land were not molested. Before being taken from the jail Thomas is said to have admitted shooting the policeman but claimed self-defense, as the officer was firing at him he said. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
