C. SCOTT Mr. Robert C. Scott 1222 East Main Street, Milwaukee, WI 53201 Richmond, Virginia. My dear Mr. Scott: I have just read your full some advertisement in the Richmond Planet, and I want to tell you that I very greatly admire the manner in which you have carried on your work, since I met you at the funeral of Major Johnson in South Richmond a few years ago. I feel quite sure I am making no mistake in the individual who had charge of Major Johnson's funeral. You may well that I had a few words with you then and on another occasion a surprised you upon the child murder in which you conducted that funeral. I watched your procedure and predicted for you abundant success in your line of business. I am always delighted to read of the splendid success of energetic young men who start life practically penless, for there is so much for them to win and with grit and deter mination they always succeed. I wish you, my dear Mr. Scott, every possible success in your line of business and with kind regards and best wishes. Sincerely yours, JAMES S. RUSSELL. Archdacon. MR. COLEST' OPINION AGAINST VARCUS GARVEY. Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 18, 192 Mr. John Mitchell, Editor, 192 Richmond, Va. Dear Sir, I have read your paper constantly for nearly a score of years, and believe that I can consistently say that white I have not always agreed with your edited paper, they have been far above those of the average colored paper. This is causing a lot, for I read nearly two hundred different edited papers, but I must dissect your editorial on Dr. Don Bous Mr. Garvey, which have opened in the Plane, from January 17 up to February 12th. It seems to me as though you are Garvey's after and for this reason I must try to get you right with reference to Mr. Garvey's movement. He has caused such men as Rev Chas S. Morrison, Sr of Norfolk Va., to be attacked, an recently caused Hon W. Ashlee Howkins of Baltimore, Md., to be seated by Boston. He has aroused sentiment against the best white people in the country and has made it known publicly that he will lunch or dinner, as he puts it anyone who is opposed to his movement. He had several law units and as much as he preached on white people he has never yet had open-confidence in a coached however so have him, defend him at the bar. Mr. G. Garvey has taken advantage of the many opportunities nature and he can about building more neat lines and shoring in money from poor women and bankers in man to a difficult position. Mr. Garvey can do nothing will not be to work with his fellow worker continually, he has untold problems with his office jobs daily. In fact the job which Mr. Garvey has brought to flight in bombardier, wasteful, big, effective and almost thick cloth. Such a movement, will tax the brain of the entire race and no organization should undertake to put over such a movement alone. I have no brief for Dr. Du Bols but I think he is once right in appraising the people of such information as will enlighten them in business line, in fact your unred with Dr. Du Bols is a result of aged worn ears which came as the result of quarrels you and he had some fifteen years ago and your conclusion of Mr. Garvey is non-seemtur. Yours respectfully, L. P. COLEY 833 Leiband Street Philadelphia, Pa. --- THE N. A. A. C. P. REGIONAL CONFERENCES HERE. The Secretaries of the Virginia branches of the N. A. A. C.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921. BAPTIST MINISTERS REFUSED TO MORRIS SALVATION ARMY MEETING AT HOODS. It has come to the attention of the Baptist Conference that 'all of the colored ministers of Richmond are backing the meeting to be held at the Hood Temple. Friday night, February 25.' The fact is the Conference which is composed of 17-20 of all the colored ministers of Richmond, had by a unanimous vote, found it impracticable to join in solid movement on the ground that it availd a segregation in religion, which contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. II. Because we would be engaged to a Sunday School Institute, which had been arranged for some time previous. III. We couldn't improve of a meeting, the character of the Salvation Army, thus we understood it could be put on in the Hood Temple, the evening after the REAL meeting to be held at the City Auditorium. Furthermore we are told that the meeting as planned for the Hood Temple was due to the fact that the Salvation Army leaders were under the impresson that it was the largest other of church building in the city of Richmond, which is contrary to fact, for there are several church buildings larger than the Hood Temple in the city.

ENGINEER IN BALTIMORE House Kills Bill Formatting Women to Withhold True Ages on Registering. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 16. The South Carolina House of Representatives today passed a bill to prohibit the showing of motion picture, portraying the women of one race in a theater used by the other race. The measure now goes to the Senate. The House kild g will which would allow women registering to vote to state their ages as being 21 years of age or over without giving their exact age. An amendment by Representative McMillon of Charleston, to the effect that the measure apply only to theaters patrolling wholly by one race of either white or colored w will accepted. Theaters whose galleries are devoted to colored people the office will not come under the provisions of the net. The bill now goes to the Senate. As the Senate adjourns at the end next week and the legislative docker is crowded it is thought likely that the "Cim Crow" motion picture bill "as it is" tended in the House will be laid aside in the upper branch.

GREAT PREACHER, SINGER AND EVANGELIST IN BALTIMORE Wayland Baptist Church has had showers of blessings while having Rev Dr W H Shipwith with us. He certainly has proved his claim to "three in one". His sermons were strong and convincing. The people were carried at will during the delivery of his sermons. The home was by the Holy Spirit through his door. Never hits the more of the door than a better adventure. The people of the city are loved. Never has the more work been done. He is on vacation on Sunday interning will ever live his farewell season. Sunday he goes down in history as another masterpiece of the old and century. Mary were converted and a home in inner cans and prized with the church and fond up for Christ. Rev Dr Shipwith bed Sunday afternoon carrying the last wish of the people and pastor with a standing invitation to his return. The pastor bed Monday morning New York to fill a week's amount speaking in interest of Claverill Williams University. He will be the one of Rev P. H. Lee while away. The officers are lining up with the pastor for the Soaring rhyme. Wayland never fails in its work. The students of Clayton Williams University turned out in the afternoon to hear Dr. Shipwith's farewell session. The deposition is blessed to have a man like this event awaken. He is making the world better as he goes from city to city and state to state. Men were saved that some people had less hope in ever coming to Christ. The church expressed its ap preciation to Dr. Shipwith in a brief and substantial way. W L W --- MR. BANNISTERS COMMENDATION To the Editor of The Richmond Planet: Sr. I beg to expore¹ through your columns my appreciation and congratulate on for your very appurence and much needed editor² on the DuBois' Garvey controversy. In your book and biographical analysis of DuBois' attack upon Darren Garrow and the U. N. L. A. you have readed the race at a great service. You have shown that you are POR the Neuro is well as OU the Neuro race. The Unprofessional Neuro Improvement Association is the incarnation of the Neuro and a nation of the Neuro race the world ever. It is the key to our salvation. Any destructive action that tends to impede the progress of the U. N. L. A., where it comes from the pen of Dr. DuBois or any body else should be remedied by the Neurores of the world. Therefore Neurores owe you a debt of thanks for exerting the folly of Dr. DuBois' unwarranted and unjustifiable attack upon Mr. Garvey and the U. N. L. A. I hope that The Richmond Planet will continue to be an instrument for exposing the Neuro's interest in the U. N. L. A. and for tiling him with an inflexible defense not to unite numerically morally, intellectually and financially for the co-eventures of its objects. That chapter in the history of the F. N. L. A. dealing with "The Attitude of the Negro Presbyterian toward the F. N. L. A." will surely give the Richmond Planet its merited credit for service rendered in the cause of Negro freedom and African redemption. WILLIAM B. BANNETER. Paul Pittsburgh, Pa. INAUGURATION!

Washington, D. C. February 15, 1922 You advise me that the newspapers in Georgia carry a story that I am to be made Minister of Hayta at ten thousand dollars a year and to resupply as National Committee man. Tell to every friend of ours, and to the whole world that such is not too best. I was elected National Committee man by the electorate of the State of Georgia and those cheering me did so purposely than I might function, as I shall never reign, as a member of the Republican National Committee to help me God. I shall never accept an appointment that with interference in the remembrance, with my functioning as National Committee man I expect to so confine myself, with faith in God and loyalty to the republicans of the State of Georgia and to my Race, that at the next election time I shall again be made the National Committee of Goorgan. God has brought the back from the shadows of the grave to do the work we assigned in training and the betrayment that has continued too slowly on my poor, downward pace and if we stay I will love you on public occasion for when I am later gay. I can be faithful, can be the person whose faith I am serving for now many years. God bless all and pray that we continue our work, we all may fight that valiant others, whom may now long to fight.

Boston, Mass., Feb. 14. — Colored Americans Attention: Deprivation of citizenship has gone too long without our making a definite nation-wide racial move against it, of permanent form. This is a new day after world upheaval for human rights. Old time customs are discarded. Emmanuel Day was useful. This is no time for reference to former degradation. Pride of race must be served. The National Equal Rights League proposes to the race as a permanent race measure an annual public observance by the race of March 5, as Colored American National Day. On that day in 1770 our race furnished the first martyr to the founding of the nation on the principle of Liberty. Through Christus Attacks our race gave the first blood for the independence of the U. S. and establishment of this government or the doctrine of human rights and equality. The Caucasian holds that life blooms gives title to liberty and rights. March 5 marks our ground title to citizenship. Begin this year, time is short but sufficient. Select Friday March 4 or Sunday March 6. Observe everywhere Citizenship Foundation Day. Let it be a measure of the race one by which we remind all other Americans of what our race had done for them and for Liberty from the beginning of the Boston Massacre to the German Armed Forces; emphasize one thing at the meetings; emphasize one thing at the meetings.

Use the event for a nation-wide appeal to President Harding to wipe out color segregation from th the Federal government. Let our race set up one custom of its own for rights. M. A. N. SHAW, Pres.

SCOTT Mr. Robert C. Scott, 1223 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia. My dear Mr. Scott: I have just read your full page advertisement in the Richmond Planet, and I want to tell you that I very greatly admire the manner in which you have carried on your work, since I met you at the funeral of Major Johnson in South Richmond a few years ago. I feel quite sure I am making no mistake in the individual who had charge of Major Johnson's funeral. You may recall that I had a few words with you then and on another occasion congratulated you upon the splendid manner in which you conducted that funeral. I watched your procedure and predicted for you abundant success in your line of business. I am always delighted to read of the splendid success of energetic young men who start life practically peniless, for there is so much for them to win and with grit and doter mination they always succeed. I wish for you, my dear Mr. Scott every possible success in your line of business and with kind regards and best wishes. Sincerely yours, JAMES S. RUSSELL. Archdeacon MR. COLES', OPINION AGAINST MARCUS GARVEY. Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 18, 192 Mr. John Mitchell, Editor, 192 Dear Sir—I have read your paper constantly for nearly a score of years, and believe that I can conscientiously say that I have not all ways agreed with your editorial policy, they have been far above those of the average colored paper. This is saying a lot, for I read nearly five hundred different colored papers, but I must dissect your editorial on Dr. Du Bois—Mr. Garvey, which have appeared in the Planet from January 15th up to February 12th. It seems to me as though you are Garvey's altergo and for this reason I must try to set you right with reference to Mr. Garvey's movement. He has caused such men as Rev. Chas. S. Morris, Sr. of Norfolk, Va., to be attacked an recently caused Hon. W. Ashb'e Hawk of Baltimore, Md., to be severely beaten. He has aroused sentiment against the best white people in the country and has made it known publicly that he will lynch or crucify, as he puts it anyone who is opposed to his movement. He had several law suits and as much as he preaches against white people he has nevtr as yet had enough confidence in a colored lawyer to have him defend him at the bar. Mr. Garvey has taken advantage of the peoples ensemble mature and has gone about by building mars meetings and gathering in money from poor wash women and workmen in a disgraceful manner. Mr. Garvey's amblyopia will not permit him to work with his fellow worker contentedly, he has untold trouble with his office force daily. In fact the scheme which Mr. Garvey has brought to light is bombastic, wasteful, illegal, reflective and almost illegal. Such a movement will tax the brain of the entire race and no one organization should undertake to put over such a movement alone. I have no brief for Dr. Du Bois but I think he is quite right in appraising the people of such information as will enlighten them in a business line, in fact your quarrel with Dr. Du Bois is a result of aged, worn scars which came as the result of quarrels you and he had some fifteen years ago and your conclusion of Mr. Garvey is non-scultur.

Feb. 19, 1921 To the Editor:— Why is it that the colored cook of the Hardings who rendered him valu- able service before and after the election can not go with them to the White House? Why is she hunting for another place to work? She is now stopping at 2124 Florida Avenue, Washington, D. C. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON NOT TO DISPENSE PATRONAGE IN GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 18.—If late reports emanating from the capitol city of Georgia may be accepted as auth entic and final, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson will not hold the highland in dabbing out the political plums for his state. According to reports the dispensing of Federal patronage, is in the hands of one Charles Adamson a former Pennsylvania. Under the new administration it is said that Adamson's advice will prevail and will have complete charge of distributing federal patronage. A statement by Adamson on this point is reported to the effect that all federal appointees for offices in this state would be white men. According to Adamson's statement Col. Johnson will be offered the post of Minister to Haiti at $10,000 a year. It is generally believed that this is the post on which Col. Johnson had had his eyes fixed for same time. BAPTIST MINISTERS REFUSED TO SALVATION ARMY MEETING AT HOOD'S. It has come to the attention of the Baptist Conference that 'all of the colored ministers of Richmond are backing the meeting to be held at the Hood Temple, Friday night, February 25.' The fact is the Conference, which is composed of 17-20 of all the colored ministers of Richmond, had by a unanimous vote, found it impractable to join in said movement on the ground that it saved a segregation in religion, which is contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. II. Because we would be engaged in a Sunday School Institute which had been arranged for some time previous. III. We could not approve of a meeting, the character of the Salvation Army, (as we understood it), evangelistic being put on in the Hood Temple the evening after the REAL meeting to be held at the City Auditorium. Furthermore we are told that the meeting as planned for the Hood Temple's was due to the fact that the Salvation Army leaders were under the impression that it was the largest colored church building in the city of Richmond, which is contrary to fact, for there are several church buildings larger than the Hood Temple in the city. The Conference gave a vote of thanks for the message brought by Rev. George E. Archibald, superintendent of missions in Haiti, appointed by the Let Carey Foreign Mission Convention. He is excellently qualified for the work. Next Monday, after the committee report (place all matter for the Conference must be presented by committees) a sermon will be preached by Rev. Murphy, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Ashland, Va. 11:30 Conference opens at Ebenezer Baptist Church.

House Kills Bill Permitting Women to Withhold True Ages on Registering. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 16.—The South Carolina House of Representatives to day passed a bill to prohibit the showing of motion pictures portraying the women of one race in a theatrical use by the other race. The measure are now goes to the Senate. The House killed a bill which would allow women registering to vote to state their ages as being 21 years of age or over without giving their exact age. An amendment by Representative McMillan of Charleston, to the effect that the measure apply only to the theaters patronized wholly by one race, either white or colored was accepted. Theaters whose galleries are devoted to colored people therefore will not come under the provisions of the act. The bill now goes to the Senate. As the Senate adjourns at the end of next week and the legislative docket is crowded to capacity, it is thought likely that the "Jim Crow" motion picture bill" as it is termed in the House will be laid aside in the upper branch.

This will be a super class and already the membership has reached the one hundred mark. Any and all men are invited to come out Sunday morning at ten. Wayland Baptist Church has had showers of blessings while having Rev. Dr. W. H. Shipwith with us. He certainly has proved his claim to "three in one." His sermons were strong and convincing. The people were carried at will during the de livery of his sermons. The house was not by the Holy Spirit through his loyal sons. Never has the man of God praised at a better advantage. We have the people of the city been more benefited. Never has more constructive work been done. His baptism sermon on Sunday morning will ever live, his farewell sermon Sunday afternoon goes down in history as another masterpiece of thought and oratory. Many were converted and a large number came and united with the church and lined up for Christ. Rev. Dr. Skipwith left Sunday afternoon, carrying the best wishes of the people and pastor with a steadfast The pastor left. Monday morning for New York to fill a week's engagement speaking in interest of Clayton Williams University. He will be the guest of Roy. P. H. Lee while away. The officers are lining up with the pastor for the Sping rally. Wayland never falls in its work. The students of Clayton Williams University turned out in the afternoon to hear Dr. Skipwith's farewell ger mon. The denomination is blessed to have a man like this great evangelist. He is making the world better as he goes from city to city and state to state. Men were saved that some pee had less hope in an over coming to Christ. The church expressed its ap preciation to Dr. Skipwith in a brief and substantial way. — W. I. W --- MR. BANNISTERS COMMENDATION To the Editor of The Richmond Planet: Sr. I beg to express through your columns my appreciation and congratulate on for your very appropriate and much noseded efforts on the DuBois-Garvey controversy. In your lucid and logical analysis of DuBois' attack upon Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. you have rendered the race a great service. You have shown that you are FOR the Negro as well as OP the Negro race. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the incarnation of the hope and aspiration of the Negro race the world over. It is the key to our salvation. Any destructive article that tends to impede the progress of the U. N. I. A., whether it comes from the pen of Dr. DuBois or any body else, should be repudiated by the Negroes of the world. Therefore Negroes owe you a debt of thanks for expending the folly of Dr. DuBois' unwarranted and unjustifiable attack upon Mr. Garvey and the U. N. I. A. I hope that The Richmond Planet will continue to be an instrument for intensifying the Negro's interest in the U. N. I. A. and for filling him with an inflexible determination to make numerically, morally, intellectually and financially for the achievements of its objects. That chapter in the history of the F. N. I. A. dealing with "The Attitude of the Negro Press Toward the U. N. I. A." will surely give the Richmond Planet its merited credit for service rendered in the cause of Negro freedom and African redemption. WILLIAM B. BANISTER, East Pittsburgh, Pa. INAUGURATION!

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL. The following Reply From Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson Explains Itself. 1461 S. Street, N. W Washington, D. C. February 15, 1921 Mr. B. J. Davis. 200 Auburn Avenue, Aslanta, Georgia. My dear Ben:— You advise me that the newspapers in Georgia carry a story that I am to be made Minister of Haydt at ten thousand dollars a year and to resign as National Committeeman. Tell to every friend of ours, and to the whole world that such is not God fact. I was elected National Committee man by the electorate of the State of Georgia and those electing me did so purposely—that I might function as such. I shall never resign as a member of the Republican National Committee so help me God. I shall never accept an appointment that will interfere in the remotest, with my functioning as National Committee man. I expect to so conduct myself, with faith in God and loyalty to the Republicans of the State of Georgia and to my Race, that at the next election time I shall again be made the National Committee man of Georgia. God has brought me back from the shadows of the grave to do the work of an evangel in fighting against the terrorism that has tormented the souls of my poor, downrodden people, and if necessary I can live with out public once for when I am hungry, I can go back, even to the peasants when I am trying to serve for my daily bread. God bless us all and pray that through this crisis we all may fight like valiant soldiers against any new fangled change from the ancient hisory and tradition of the Republican Party as laid down by Lovoy, by Greedy by Summer and audiorified by Frederick Douglas. You can make such use of this letter as to you may seem best. Humly, HENRY LINCILION JOHNSON (Signed.)

The three brands according to those who have imbibed too well contain a cortex percentage of dynamite mixed with wild 'evil intentions' and if taken in the right quantity would make a 3 year old go on the warpath FORMULA STILL UNDETERMED While the actual formular of the three new brands has not been stated the lively'ds are a combination of alcohol and either mixed in water and burnt sugar giving the outward up peacrance of whisky. A few of the samples of the "Fusel oil hoocht" which have been brought into court, according to several officials, are highly combustible and when not in use should be kept in a cool place away from all fire. George Jackson colored recently arrested for being drunk to the court he took one drink of "jumps" and no membered no more until the desk ser grant at the Fourth precinct was taking a corkscrew from his pocket and assigning him an outside cell for the night.

Another man sent to the Washings ten Asylum hospital for treatment of a bad case of 'pink elephants' and mice with ivory tusks' told the court he had fallen a victim to a low shots of 'sweet dreams' and found, that the name belied the label, in view of the fact that since taking the allowed whisky he had been shadowed by a miniature green giraffe and a purple cat.

Matrimony is a divine institution, but remember that most people, who marry are not divine individuals, although they may both look divine in their wedding clothes. Bootladers sometimes legally wear the badge of prohibition officers. Many people will not doubt this in view of many arrests recently made in this neighborhood. The day of abusing all of the white people for the action of some of the white lawless classes is past and the day of condemning all of the colored people on account of the action of the lawless classes has passed too. --- President-elect Warren G. Harding has selected his cabinet. It seems to us that he has made a wise selection and that the country is destined to enjoy an era of prosperity. The most loving couple we have noticed was when one or the other was in Europe or one or the other was in this country. When both were to the same country, then the far-away look died away and one or the other was seeking some one else's country. ```markdown ``` If the States would grant preachers the power to grant divorces in the same way that the power is conferred to unite a couple, the churches over which they officiate would have no need to increase their salaries and many of them would consent to "serve the church for nothing." ```markdown ``` People, who have been married once should not be allowed to get unmarried. They should be kept in the barrel together and their moans and groans should attract only a smile from those happily married individuals, who have determined to live to gather and make the best of their material possessions. It all comes from nature's dispositions. They found out too late that "there was no getting along" to Mother!" The organization of colored women is now appealing to the new National Women's Buffalo League to take steps for the enforcement of the right of women to vote, meaning of course, colored women. We shall watch with interest this plea. The Congress appropriated seven million dollars for the enforcement of the Prohibition Constitutional Amendment and not one penny to enforce the right of suffrage for women. The one related to human privileges and the other to human rights. But then this is the day of the small politician, the vacillating statesman and the temporary triumph of wrong over right. MR. COLES' CRITICISM We are pleased to receive the communication from our good friend and admirer, Mr. L. F. Coles and we take pleasure in presenting his views to the public. We believe in fair play and we are of the opinion that free and untrammeled discussion, free from abuse will always tend to clarify the atmosphere in any discussion. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is a master in this line of argument. What the conservative citizen wants are the facts. The personality of Hon. Marcus Garvey is not primarily under discussion. It is his cause that is entitled to consideration upon an impartial and illuminating basis. His causing of an attack upon that brilliant orator and respected citizen of this Slate, Dr. Chas, S. Morris, Sr., and upon that nation-wide known character, Hon. W. Ashbley Hawkins and his indirect utterances concerning white people are indiscretions, for which he is personally liable. They tend to show that he is not pursuing the wisest course in the propagation of the plans and schemes of his great organization and for all of this, he can be held legally responsible. But what the people, the colored people are primarily concerned about is his propaganda of Africa for the Africans, if the U. S. and Europe are to be for the white man. We are interested primarily in the commercial end of the whole business, the entrance of the colored people of this and other countries into the vocation of barter and trade, the elevation of the business interests of the colored people, whereby they will handle the products of their own people in the export markets and support the vessels manned by Negroes, which will bring to this country, the exports of Africa and other countries. Mr. L. F. Coles is mistaken when he says that there is any ill feeling between the editor of this journal and the distinguished New Yorker, whose caustic and impressive analysis of the Negro chieftain has aroused the colored people of this country. We again aver that we have never had any quarred with Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, but we have always admired the manly stand he has teken with reference to all matters affecting the colored people. We have differed with him with reference to certain policies, but so far as we know, it has not ruptured our friendship. We have been trained in his school of thought, in radical contrast with that associated by the distinguished Booker T. Washington who has gone on before. W. E. B. Du Bois, J. R. Clifford, Bishop Alexander Waters, W. Monroe Trotter, H. C. Smith and a host of other leaders, we might name have been of one mind in securing the fundamental rights to which the Negroes, the Afro-Americans, the color el people are entitled in this country and our good friend, in his anxiety, to attack the humble New York West Indian" shot his arrow a bit too far. Solah. THE GARVEY MOVEMENT. It may be well to state that we never took enough interest in the Marcus Garvey movement to pay any attention to its claims or its accomplishments until we read the highly illuminating article of Dr. W. E. B. La Bois in the New York Crisis. We reproduced in these columns every line of that comment, in order that we might not do the distinguished scholar any injustice and then we drew our own conclusions. What impressed us most was Dr. Du Bois' declaration that he was of the opinion that Marcus Garvey was honest, that he was sincerely and that his plans are feasible. He differed with Mr. Garvey as to the propagation of his ideas and the operation of these plans. He saw or thought he saw that he was "heading" towards disaster, whereas if he pursued a different policy and consulted and followed the advice or some of the advice of some of the race leaders, when he thought he was opposed to him, he might achieve success, whereas he is courting failure. We were of the opinion that if he intended to help the organization of which Garvey was the head, he was taking the improper way to do it. Certainly, the analytical review in the New York Crisis would tend to do the Universal Negro Improve THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA most Association more injury than any blunder that the Hon. Maroun Garvey might make. We have not been able as yet to understand, why if the Black Star Line Corporation and its parent organization are incorporated and doing a lawful and legitimate business, any person who is not a member of the organization and who has not been "faked" into putting his money in to it as its dofamers charge, why he should wage a campaign against it. In some States it can do business, in some other States, noticeably Virginia, it is "outlawed," so to speak and not recognized. If it is not living up to its charter or is engaged in a "flim flam" game, let proceedings be instituted against it by those, who have their money invested. What we want to know is, Did Dr. Du Bois mean what the said when he expressed through the columns of the New York Crisis in the midst of his vitriolic discussion, that Marcus Garvey is honest, sincere and that his plans are feasible? To ask that question is to answer it, for that distinguished man of letters weighs carefully every word that he utterns and the tribute he tendered to this West Indian evidently was that of the historian and as a historian Dr. Du Bois ranks sky-high. GARVEY'S EMPIRE OF ETHIOPIA A World Movement for the Unification of Political and Economic Interests of All Negroes Everywhere. (By Truman Hughes Tulkov.) The Second of two articles describing the remarkable and maple change in the Negro's attitude toward the whites and their own future. Probably the most remarkable of race conventions that America, the cradle of liberty and the nursery of nationalistic and racial aspirations, has ever witnessed was held in New York in August when for thirty-one days and nights the three thousand elected representatives of the Negroes of all nations, states colonies and territories of the world assembled for thorough deliberation upon the past, present and future of their race. The loudest and most voliferous of demonstrations in which Negroes over participated were staged in Madison Square Garden and in Liberty Hall, the Negro forum in Harlem. The most glittering and fame-studded of parades of the black ages in which virtually every Negro of any standing in any part of the world appeared in his bright-faced, replendent robes of office wended its triumphal way between endless lines of flag-waving enthusiasis in the streets of New York's colored colony. Then what was intended as distinctly a side issue, so far as the convention was concerned was revealed to public view and by its very elaborateness and brilliance thrilled the emotional body politic of the Negro universe. And in the centre of thronged Liberty Hall, with thirty ministers officiating with escorts and attendants robed in the colors of the future Negro commonwealth, with members of the high council of this provisional government cloth in academic garments fringed with the same black; rod and green the Honor able Marcus Garvey; the most powerful and the most picturesque leader of his race and the man whose vision of the Negro's future freedom has become that of millions of his color, was married. It was a spectacle that dazzled the dark world. But with all its glamor and romance it grandeur, the gathering had a far more serious purpose. Garvey and his organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League of the world with its subsidiary bodies incorporated as the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories League embracing within their combined field the formation of a world wide commercial and industrial development project, the establishment of an independent and recognized mother country in Africa and the achievement, through those two means of true Negro freedom, had not been working for a few intense years to no purpose. The goal to send and the expenses to bring three thousand delegates to New York from the ends of the earth represented an earnest of their intention. On the opening day there was held the great parade which resulted in much more than a spectacular display of pageantry. It was a panorama of patriotism. Fifty thousand Negroes of all ranks and stations is life and from every part of the globe—there were princes, high officials of various governments, and even a Hawaiian admir al were in the like of march. There were twelve bands that were almost another in the enthusiastic tumult of the tens of thousands of participants and onlookers. Their colors—black for our race, red for our blood and green for our promise—"were everywhere to be seen intertwined with the Stars and Stripes, 'like,' recorded one Negro newspaper, "unto a bent diction in the peaceful effect and calm it brought to the soul; the one emblematic of its peculiar liberal in situations that made possible such a demonstration as this parade, the other no less significant of the much larger and greater freedom that will come to every Negro in his own United States of Africa." Another ob server wrote, "The insistent note of the parade was liberty and an insist- cut indeed, was this appeal that white women were soon to cry as in imagination they behold the Negro achieving that measure of success that they themselves under similar distressing conditions in other parts of the world are fighting to achieve. One emotion at Irishwoman, as the parado traversed 125th street with tears upon her cheeks and in the anguish of despair cried, "And to think, the Negroes will get their liberty before the Irish." Among the slogans emblazoned on standards in the march which enthushed the thousands of dusky reviewers were, "Africa must. Be Free." The Negro Pought in Europe, He Can Fight in Africa, 'Down With Lynching,' The Negro 'Wants Liberty,' 'Proslem For All,' 'Africa a Nation, One and Indivisible,' 'Garvey' the Man of the Hour, 'What of the New African Army?' 'United We Stand for African Liberty,' with an occasional 'Long Live America.'" ORATORIOAL CORNERSTONES . Flushed with the fervor and the success of the opening procession as many more Negroes as the 25,000 seats in Madison Square Garden could hold surged down town in an attempt to get within carousel of the opening night's verbal fireworks. Amid a most patriotically turbulent scene, with the three thousand delegates in their sectional seats after the fashion of a national political convention the numerous dignitaries and officials in the Garvey cabinet are rung around the rostrum, and the rest of the balconied building teeming with thousands more of his color. Marus Garvey arose to deliver the key note speech. The throng which had been singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers" along with the music of the hands grew silent. The hour indeed had come. "We are met here tonight" was his orthodox beginning, "for the purpose of enlightening the world respecting the attitude of the new Negro. We are assembled as the descendants of a suffering people who are determined to suffer no longer. For three hundred years our forefathers and even ourselves suffered in this Western Hemisphere. For more than five hundred years our forefathers on the great continent of Africa suffered from the abuse of an alien race. "We as now Nogroes declare that what is good for the white man in this age is also good for the Negro. The white race claim freedom, liberty and democracy. For that freedom, that liberty that democracy, they drenched Europe in blood for four and a half years. In that bloody war, fought to maintain the standard of civilization and freedom of democracy, they called upon two million black men from Africa, from the West Indies, and from America to fight that the world might enjoy the benefits of civilization. We fought as men; we fought gloriously; but we fought noily; but after the battle won we were still deprived of our liberties, our democracy, and the glorious privileges for which we fought. And, as we did we not get those things out of the war we shall organize four hundred million strong to float the banner of democracy on the great continent of Africa." After the uprase from this pointed introduction had subsided, Garvoy proceeded with what, from a study of his countless speeches and writings, stands as about the most representative presentation of his project. "We have absolutely no apologies or compromises to make where the Negro rights and liberties are concerned he declared. "Just at this time as the world is reorganizing it is also recon structing itself, and everywhere op pressed peoples are striking for and obtaining their rightful freedom. Negroes of the world shall do no less than also strike out for freedom. Liberty is the common heritage of mankind and as God Almighty created us four hundred million strong, we shall ask the reason why and dispute every inch of ground with any other race to tind out why we also cannot enjoy the same benefits. "We, as a people do not desire what belongs to others. But others have sought to deprive us of those things which belong to us. Our fathers might have been satisfied to have been deprived of their rights, but we now Negroes, we young men who were called out in this war, we young men who have returned from the war shall dispute every inch of right with every other race until we win what belongs to us. This convention is called for the purpose of framing a bill of rights for the Negro race. We shall write a constitution within this month that shall guide and govern the destiny of our four hundred millions. This constitution, like that of the greatest democracy in the world, we shall defend with the last drop of our blood. Whereover I go, whether it is in England, France, Germany, Italy or Armenia, I am told, "This is a white man's country." Whereover I travel in this nation I am made to understand that I am a 'nigger.' If the Englishman claims England as his native habitat, the Frenchman claims France as his home, the Americans, this continent as their land, then the time has come for the Negroes to claim Africa as their native land. If Europe and America are for the white man, and Asia is for the yellow man, then, in the name of God, Africa shall be the home of the black peoples. We have been dying for the last five hundred years—for whom? For alien races. The time has come for the Negro to die for himself. The President of this country returned from Europe and told us there was to be peace. Lord George Clemson and the other national leaders returned to their countries, and said there was to be peace. But the bandwriting on the wall shows that the bloodiest and greatest war of all times is yet to come—the war when Asia shall match her strength against Europe for the survival of the fittest and for the dominance of Oriental or Occidental civilization. Now let me tell you this: The hour I lay come for the Negro to mobilize his forces of four hundred millions for the bloody war. The time has arrived and is now important for the Negro to shake for The Star Hair Grower. THE WORLD'S FINEST HAIRDRESSER African redemption. It is apparent that it is left to the Negro to teach the principles of mercy and justice. The Negro has carried those principles with him for thousands of years, but the time has come for us to call a halt. Why? Because we realize that the other races are living in a material and practical age. They do not regard glorious and noble principles; they regard only those things that will make them happy and comfortabe. White the white man, for ages, taught us to despise Africa, told us how hideous a place it was inhabited by savages, by cannibals, by pagans, trying to persuade Negroes not to take any interest in it, they have gone to Africa and have taken large portions of it. In the north, south, east and west they have helped themselves until there is but little left, even of the interior. But the hour has come when the whole continent of Africa shall be reclaimed and redeemed as the home of the black peoples. We shall not ask England 'Why are you here?', nor France, 'Why are you here?' nor Italy, nor Belgium. The thing we will say will be, 'Get out of here.' And be cause we mean that, we believe in the principles of justice and equity. THE BILL OF RIGHTS From such a valedictory, the convention in later days moved into the routine of business decreed by a lengthy programme to be disposed of or before the final act of constitution drafting could be taken up. So for many days Liberty Hall, whither the convention had been moved from Madison Square Garden, rung to the cadence of complaint. Every delegate had his allotted time in which to describe the conditions prevailing in his territory as well as to offer his constituency's recommendations for immediate local improvement and eventual general botterment. Delegates from everywhere—from Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, Antigua, Cuba, Haiti, Santo Domingo; Bermuda; Trinidad; Jamaica; Barbados; the Vienna Islands; Nova Scotia; Montreal; Lagos in West Africa; Sierra Leone; Liberia; Abyssinia as well as from nearly every state and large city in the United States that has a Negro population—detailed before the assembly the particular kind of discrimination which the Negro found practised against him. The essence of the sum total of their grievance was Johnson, Jim Crowism, disfranchisement, industrial exalation, segregation and the various kinds of political commercial, educational, and religious discrimination. It required no little time to digest this voluminous true bill against the white race, but after a prolonged debate a committee set forth in its task of building from this mass of grievance and recommendation the Declaration of Negro Rights and Constitution of Negro Liberty. Within a week's time here was drafted a document which was to be read at the close of the assembly for the ratification of the delegates and promulgation to the world. The finished product was a long document of sixty-six divisions in which every phase of the Negro's outlook upon life and the future was touched upon and the line of conquest every adherent must follow was set forth. The promise of this constitution states that "the Negro people of the world, through their chosen recessions A Wonderful Hair Dressing & Grower. ONE THOUSAND AGENTS WANTED. Good Money Made.

(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) Coefficient of the material with which to weld a great force back of his plan, once he obtained access to it, Garvey cast about to find the de terrents that might stand in his way. As he had long felt, he did not have to look far. The mere mention of his ambition to some of his race brought down the condemnation of "radicalism," while with others it left them cold, at least indifferent. His first attempts to speak in public meetings and to write in the Negro press brought forth opposition from all sides. This antagonism he soon found fell in three general groups. One group he found personified in Dr. Robert R. Moton, successor of Dr. Booker T. Washington as the principal of Tuskegee Institute and also president of the National Negro Business League; another group had as its head Dr. W. E. B. Du Bots, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple, the third group was the Negro elderly. The Moton wing, Garvey found, beeds its energies toward the industrial development of the Negro, while the Du Bols wingooks his political advancement, the two working more or less in concert in common acceptance of the belief that combined industrial and political betterment serves as the best available lever in obtaining fuller rights for and recognition of the race. Moton holds that the Negro must solve his own problems in America by going into the world of business himself, investing capital in his own enterprises, supporting his own schools and institutions and publications, founding more of them, etc., and cities the fact that Negroes already have shown marked ability in reaching and guiding the thoughts and actions of fifteen millions in this country. He points out that Negroes already have established fifty thousand business enterprises and asserts there is a field for as many more. In brief, he believes that only by the Negro's entrance into the hard and competitive world of business alongside and under the white man can he hope to find or expect anything resembling equality of treatment and consideration. Du Bois, on the other hand, while in sympathy with the work of enlarging the horizon of the Negro's economic usefulness, believes that greater ends in the Negro's fight will be achieved on ly when the letter of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments is observed and the Negro casts his ballots in a constitutionally approved effort to make his voice heard in a nation where those of his color constitute more than a tenth of the population. Reforms affecting the Negro's betterment, Du Bois, holds, will come only when he is really enfranchised and thereby permitted to send men of his own race into the councils of local, state, and national government. Garvey, with his far more ambitious and in many ways more attractive plan of campaign for complete Negro emancipation, at no time underestimated or undervalued the work of Moton and Du Bois. From the be beginning until the present day he has taken consistent and violent isue with them, or they with him, as to the possibility of eventual and permanent betterment of the Negro, but Garvey was content—though at the start he had to be content because of his inability to depose them—to let them lead their respective folowings to the ultimate in the two schools of development, for what Garvey envisaged was far above and be yond or cared to promise. In fact, as he now explains, no better ground work for the movement he intended to launch, once he got, the chance, could have been desired, for each step upward, no matter who directed it, prepared the flqd for a quicker and more intelligent reception of the one great, inclusive idea when the time arrived for its promulgation. Had Garvey entertained any ideas of open conflict with the then recognized leadership of Negroes, he would have been doomed to quick defeat, for forces stronger than the combined strength of as great a group as all the Negroes of America were beginning to work. America was getting into the war and in more ways than one that meant enormous strides in the onward march of the Negro. The great stream that has now passed the half million mark had begun its course northward from the cotton fields of the South and in the promised land of political industrial, and near-social equality Negroes by heats of thousands were finding pleasing employment at high wages in munitions factories, in the various war and basic industries in construction work as well as in the most congenial and lucrative of industrial exigency in the North. Labor agents he came most active in the South where however, little encouragement was necessary to start the Negroes north in happy dreams to what they called in poetry and song "the land of hope." The Government at one time saw the necessity of attempting to abate this exodus and forthwith provided, could enable contemption work in the South. But modern apartments and dwellings in which to live, unheard of wages with which to buy previously unenjoyed luxuries, the ballot if they but responded to partisan urging to register and in some sections, complete social equality, combined to provide the war withstandable lure that has in a few years changed not only the social, but the industrial, the political and the social compaction of the eastern half of the United States. To say that every time a player squares into the hands of Moton and Du Bols is putting it mildly, yet Garvey—still plain Marcus Garvey from Jamaica—saw in this very natural dynamic shift more of that stuff with which he hoped some day to transmute his dream into reality. He discerned in this unprecedented stride forward by his race an awakened spirit, an enthusiasm for doing things, an creness to expand in fact, the very spark he felt he must be able to rey upon to kindle popular enthusiasm in his effort to build a black land of free soil. If the war-time aggrandizement of the Negro elevated the standing of his two chief rivals by even an arithmetical progression, Garvey figured that the same elements geometrically enhanced the chances of his own final success. LAUNCHING THE GREAT IDEA While studying conditions and observing the trend of events, Garvey kept his eyes open for worthy collaborators in his effort. They were hard to find. Those who did not tell him he was crazy told him nothing, which was worse. In his occasional appearances at lectures delivered by other faw ofrites of the populace, at which times he would be introduced with about as much enthusiasm as a newspaper publishes a retraction, he made slight headway because he was yet unknown and unrecognized. It is true of all peoples, and more so of the emotional Negro, that they will follow a known leader even in an illogical morace while an unknown aspirant with all the logic in the world may fall to win a convert. The Negroes, of all peoples have a leader. Garvey was not yet that. He knew the psychology of his people and he knew it must be a fight into prominence before he could lay claim to any sort of following. After long persuasion Garvey finally got thirteen influential and representative men not actively identified in the Meton or Du Bois groups to examine his project and hear his plan in full. His vision, or his logic, or his oratory, of all of them, made converts of them. It was a slow fight, but as time went on other leading Negroes were coaxed in, eventually a small and rather select meeting was held with the result that the first branch of the Universal Negro Improvement. Association was formed. The news of this move brought down endless verbal and written anathema upon the leader and his few followers. They nearly withered under the blast of condemnation from the industrial, political and religious schools of Negro thought which in no uncertain terms demanded this disturber be sent back to Jamaica where he could no longer obtrude his revolutionary activity upon the prosperous and more or less satisfied American Negro world. But they did not wither. Instead, simultaneously with a concert move to gain a foothold among the higher class Negroes in other parts of the country as nuclei for later branches of the parent organization there blossomed forth, under the editorship of Garvey, the Negro World, a newspaper "devoted solely to the interests of the Negro race" and pledged to secure complete and lasting emancipation of the entire black race of the world. Garvey then had a diffusive channel of reply to his countless critics. Garvey's first blow was straight from the shoulder and by its very holdiness struck the thinking Negro world dumb, but before long the war awakened mass began to see the point. Freedom in every conceivable sense, he declared, not the mere recognition and enforcement of the principle of political, industrial, and social equality, with whites, was the true degree in the depth of every Negro's heart. Freedom of the sort the white and yellow races enjoy should be the goat as well of the black race, he asserted and by easy calculation he showed the Negro in his total strength of 400,000,000 to be the master of the world if he chose to be. The achievement of the state of complete independence he declared not only plausible but fossilable and forthwith elucidated his plans for the solidification and organization of the Negroes of the world in the cause, the formation of a triangular sternship and commercial development corporation touching each of the three great Negro centres—America, Africa, and the West Indies—and lastly the creation of a world-wide Negro super-government to control and guide the destinies of the scattered race (just as the Pope and the Catholic church control its millions in every land, he said) until the victorious day when such provisional administration would be able to proclaim. The world the recovery of the African motherland and the establishment of a Black Parliament to take its place among the representative in instrumentalities of free and sovereign peoples. Garvey at once challenged the leadership of his rivals in so far, he said, as "they represent the time-serving, boot-tickling agencies of subservience to the whites." The aims of the Moton and Du Bols factions he termed unsuited for his race in that they fell far short of the goal worthy of such a powerful and talented race. The industrial group, he contended, only teaches his fellow being to be come the slave of the white, the finished occupational training of each Negro only representing a better economic cog which will yield a vast greater proportionate return for the white owner of the machine. The political group, he said, only brings the Negro to the polls and instruct him in the use of the ballot to further or the political aims of the white man and that with all political training that may be inculcated the Negro will never have the chance to live under real majority rule or to be fair represented in a government which he is required to support by taxes and by human sacrifice on the battle THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA field. However, he pointed out the industrial and political training which the American Negro has absorbed and is capable of still absorbing was of the high character and in density that would, if applied in the erection of a super-government or in dependent nation of Negroes, insure its successful establishment and maintenance.

RESIDENCE FIRST CL GARVEY'S VERSION OF HISTORY Through his newspaper and the widening campaign of his Menoutans, Garvey in a short space of time had the greater part of the Negro world acquainted with a great part of the voluminous features of his romantic enterprise and the carefully prepared and not illogical arguments supporting them. His propaganda retold the history of the world as it relates to the black race. From the time of Ham and the allotment to him by Noah of his share of territory, Ethiopia, Garvey pictured the ups and downs of his race. The beginnings of civilization as we know it today, in fact the existence of a perhaps greater civilization long since dimmed by the ages, he claimed as the work of the black race. The Cushites, of earliest Negroes, he contended along with ample support of white historians, were the first royal and learned race from whom in turn the Egyptians, the Phoenicians the Greeks, and so on, acquired their culture. The earliest Ethiopians, he asserted, were the first to worship according to present belief and he added there was plenty of historical corroboration for the statement that even Christ was black. Then, as Gibbon wrote and Garvey admitted, "a long period began when the Ethiopians were surrounded by the enemies of their religion and slept for nearly a thousand years, forgetful of a world by whom they were forgotten." Some of them woke long enough to give Han nibal to history, after which there recurred another long sleep. This nap, it seems, was not interrupted until the Fifteenth Century when Portuguese navigators found the west coast with the result that since Garvey reminded his brethren, they have been an varying degrees of bondage. The complete history of the slave trade, particularly in England and America, was again narrated with all the inhumanity Garvey's main purpose was to show that that chronicle contains, though how and where historically the Negro was abducted from his motherland with the double result that in latter years the scattered race was rendered still more impotent for a revival of Ethiopian civilization and the continent which was their original and rightful property was seized by allen races. Since the Civil War, according to Garvey's doctrine, the Negro has been forcibly taught that he is and forever must remain the inferior of the white in every way. Released from slavery into what at one time was heraled as real freedom and equality, he argued the Negro instead has been slowly molded, educated, preached, and wheel ed into a state of servitude and cringing cowardice far more stultifying so far as concerns the ultimate freedom of the race than any system of physical bondage. No matter how far a Negro may advance today or no matter how great may he his material success, Garvey said, such achievement will represent only the scant fraction of what he could accomplish in his own country or in a country which held a wholesome fear of and respect for the nation in which he possessed citizenship. What happens, Garvey asked, when an Englishman, or a Frenchman, or an American meets with illegl I discrimination or physical mistreatment in foreign country? No other people in the world except Negroes, he declared, are in the helpless condition that precludes mutual protection of their individual members. With all the high-sounding platitudes regarding equality in all the white nations of the world, he asserted, the "nigger" will always be the "nigger" in the eyes of the white, the object of political, economic, social, educational and religious discrimination when the interests of whites are the least concerned, the creature to be physically mistreated when race passions of the whites are aroused the elector to be disfranchised if and when there is the slightest chance of his race winning a point displacing to the whites the animal to be exploited when white capital requires, the fellow-passenger to be Jim Crowed even though he pays as much to travel as the whites, the human being to be segregated from decent living quarters and to be ostracized even from public places when it pleases the whites, the fellow image of the Creator to be told that Heaven is the white man's reward—thus it always will be, he reiterated, until the Negro rebuilds his empire reassembles his civilization, and matches his mental and physical powers against those of the rival races. THE OPPOSITION OF THE CLERGY Not the least vigorous of the opposition to Garvey come from the Churches, and they today remain his bitterest foe even while other elements are swinging into supporting Blue. Garvey called the "white man's religion" unsuited for Negroes because it required Negroes to believe in a white God, a white Christ, a white heaven and even white angels. Garvey's creed called for a purely Negro religion, "with God as a Being, not as a Creature, but in so far as it interprets Him through the Image of a Creature it shows Him made in our own image—black." Various historian fans have been cited by Garvey to sup port his contention that Christ was black. Aside from the question of the color of Deity, Garvey declared that the white man's missionaries "have been but the advance agents of slave hunters, rum soldiers, and exploiters who have despoiled Africa and ruined our racial heritage." Eighty percent of the Negro clergy in America is still opposed to Garvey, due, his supporters assert, largely to the fact that they rely upon white charity, white precept, and even white tolerance for their existence, and that they fear in the promulgation of this icon (Continued on Fourth Page) A Woman's Glory Is Her Hair A.

Beneficiary. Witnesses: LELIA B. ROBINSON. LANDIS IS IMPEACHED CHARGED WITH NEGLECT OF COURT DUTIES Washington, D. C., February 14, —on charges of high crimes and misdemeanors, Federal Judge Kensaw Mountain Landis, of Chicago was unpeached in the House of Representatives today by Representative Woly, Democrat of Ohio because of his acceptance of the office of supreme arbitrator of baseball while still serving on the bench. In taking this step the Ohio member swept aside an opinion by Attorney General Palmer that Judge Landis was within the law and that there was no law making such acceptance a crime, either misdemeanor or felony. The opinion was rendered recently by the Attorney-General on the written request of Mr. Woly, who had questioned the Judges' right to hold both positions. Before proceeding to the floor of the Housa where his charges were read Mr. Wetty refused a request by Senator Dial, Democrat South Carolina to include in the general indictment statements attributed to Judge Landis in refusing to send to jail a young Ottawa. Ill. bank clerk be cause of the belief that officials of the bank were responsible for the clerk's speculation by failure to pay him a living wage. DIAL WILL ACT Senator Diah on resolving the Ohio Representative's refusal announced he would complain against Judge Landis with the Department of Justice and late in the day attacked the Chicago go jurist on the floor of the Senate, describing him as a "freak" and a "rank." The South Carolina Senator characterized Judge Landis's statement that the Ottawa bank clerk's employees were in a measure responsible for the youth's theft of $6,000 as "the most Bolshevist doctrine I ever heard" and added that if the action taken by the judge in paroling the clerk amount to encouragement of such acts as those of the clerk, "it is striking at the foundations of our government." There was no comment in the House when Mr. Welty concluded the reading of a formal indictment of Judge Landis. On his own motion, as is customary in such proceedings the indictment was referred to the Judiciary Committee without debate. Less than a third of the members present voted, and a number of seating voices were lifted in opposition. Nobody asked for a rising vote. Representative Sherwood Democrat of Ohio, sitting on the front, row clapped his hands, but otherwise there was no indication as to how the House felt. The next step will be he by Mr. Welty who will appear, possibly this week before the Judiciary Committee with such witnesses as he so fit to call to amplify his charges. The committee will then decide whether to go ahead with the case. It has the power to dismiss the charges and so report to the House and adoption of such report would exonerate Judge Landis of the charges preferred by Mr. Welty. MAY THIROW OUT CASE Belief was expressed in House circles that the case would be thrown out by the committee in view of the opinion by the Attorney-General. In that event the end would come before adjournment of Congress March 4. Adjournment, however would not stop proceedings should the committee find enough evidence to send the case on to the House. In impeachment proceedings the Judiciary Committee acts in a similar capacity to a justice of the peace. The House sits the grand jury and if the House indicts, it transmits its findings to the Senate, which becomes the trial court. It requires only a majority vote for the House to indict but a two-thirds vote by the Senate is necessary to convict. Chairman Volsad of the Judiciary Committee said that no meeting had been called to hear Mr. Welty but he probably would appear within a week. The retirement of the accuser from Congress next month has no possible hearing, the chairman explains. If the committee decides that Mr. Welty has made out a prima facie case Judge Landis will have the right to be heard. Friends of the Judge immediately called for the Attorney-General's ruling which will be submitted to the committee and a member said a motion would be made to dismiss proceedings at the outset in the belief that the ruling covered every legal question involved. In his statement Mr. Wetty declared Judge Landis in the course of his long service on the bench had done a great deal of good, but that if he wanted to retain the confidence and respect as a judge, "he must divorce himself from the flashpoints of 'logical combinations.' There were b specific charges, chief of which was that he neglected his official duties for 'another gainful occupation not connected herewith.' Impeachment was proposed by Welty on the basis of five specific charges as follows: First. For neglecting his official duties for another gainful occupation not connected herewith. Second. For using his office as district judge of the United States to settle disputes which might come into his court as provided by the laws of the United States. Third. For lobbying before the Leg islatures of the several States of the Union to procure the passage of State laws to prevent gambling in baseball instead of discharging his duties as district judge of the United States. Fourth. For accepting the position as chief arbiter of the disrates in baseball associations at a salary of $2,500 per annum, while attempting to discharge the duties as a district judge of the United States which tends to nullify the effect of the judg ment of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the baseball gambling indictments pending in the criminal courts of Cook County, Ill.

LANDIS REFUSES TO COMMENT 'ON CHARGES. Chicago, Feb. 14. — Judge Kenesaw M. Landis refuted on comment on the charges and threatened impeachment proceedings of Senator Dial of South Carolina. He repudiated published statements in morning papers attributed to him and declared he would have nothing further to say on the matter at this time. “What’s the next move, judge?” he was asked. “It’s Dial’s move. I’ve nothing more to say. Why, all these reports of alleged interviews make me a comon gossip. Anything I say now would just be handing that fellow wood for his fire. The judge’s office was busy with critics all day. Some offered sympathy and support and others merely came to give the judge assurance of their faith in his stand. To all of them he declared he was not perturbed by any of the Dial threats. 'I am not worried about this thing,' he assured one caller. 'Why, I'm no more interested in this than I am in the appointment of a new bell hop in that hotel across the street.' *tnohduhunhawh metao tacum tu* A CALL TO THE WOMANHOOD OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.

MARCUS GARVEY- (Continued From Third Page.) colostatic creed not only the withdrawn of white support but the family and hostile actions of the entire majority American race. Then too, it pointed out, the Negro clergy see in Garveyism a dangerous rival of and imminent substitute for the religion they have been preaching, in that his preaching has aroused an enthusiasm and a zeal) far in excess of any known display of religious fervor. Garveyism is, in fact, a sort of racial religion in the teaching of which he has by his evangelical persuasiveness made worshipful converts of the millions who now follow him and protec his creed. One of Garvey's supporters himself a Negro clergyman levelled a telling remark at the opposition clergy when he asserted that the continued preaching by Negroes of the white man's religion of tolerance, equality, and reconciliation was the height of absurdity when one recalled that nineteen hundred years of professed adherence to the religion of the Nazareno had failed to move the white man to accord his hand in any honest gesture of equality to the black race. Garvey to date has won about 20 per cent. of the Negro clergy to his standard, among that total being many influential preachers in important and wealthy congregations. The winning of any portion of a clergy traditionally established in one religion over to a brand new combination of racial economic, and religious creed is, indeed indicative of the power of the man. As Garvey progressed he won over to his side many of the more powerful of his earlier bitter critics. Writers on rival and hostile newspapers and magazines, campagnes and orators and organizers of the other groups of organized Negrodom, men with money who previously headed the call of the so-called industrial and political Negro associations came one by one to Garvey's 125th Street office and asked to come into the fold. Among the more notable of this group, and the earliest to enter his army, were William H. Ferris, and Hubert H. Harrison, who today are associated editors of the Negro World. The former is a Master of Arts from both Yale and Harvard, the latter a West Indian of varied but world-wide education, and both are recognized authors and orators in the Negro world. But with all the aid he gathered, which in a year's time grew into a great force, Garvey advanced on the road to Negro fame through the powers of his own oratorial magic. Within two years his doily meetings in Harlem outgrew three assembly halls, his or organization acquiring one place after another of larger dimensions to hold the increasing crowds. Today his or organization owns Liberty Hall, a great auditorium where an almost continuous forum of advanced Negro thought is still in progress. THE MAGIC OF MARTYRDOM Racial feebility and personal cruelty interposed numerous handrails in the early days of his endeavor, but the principal attack served his great aid for it made him a martyr. Federal and state authorities stuck close to his traitor for a time in the lieft that his quality of radicalism might be beyond the law. This and continued newspaper abuse made the Garvey group more careful, but it like wise stiffened them. As one of the features of Garvey's enterprise, as will be described in the second article there was to be built a line of steamships to serve as actresses, for "Admired By Every Man and Envied By Every Woman".....

Price 25c. the resuscitation of Afrikan, as well as to afford a channel for the development of Negro trade over the world. Negro newspapers heaped scorn upon his original outline, which he admits was faulty enough. The initial scheme was to raise the money by donations, a plan which failed in short order. There was litigation following the collapse through which, however, Garvey came unsealed. There was a label too, too which resulted in vindication and a four cent judgment, for Garvey. When the failure of the first scheme was apparent, a council of no inconsiderable influence—for Garveyism had by this time spread afar and seemed at times, to feed famously on the opposition to it—was held with the result that the Black Star Line was incorporated with a capitalization of $10,000,000 and 2,000 000 shares far sale among 2,000 Negroes of the world were issued. The latter scheme, of course, more practical than the first, might have succeeded in the normal course of events, but just prior to the formal announcement of the change an attempt, was made to kill Garvey in his Harlem office. A Negro crank in his editorial and emblematic sanctum, and fired four bullets into him, none, how ever, striking a vital spot. He was bad wounded and crippled in one leg for life, but still in bandages and on crutches he made his way to the hall where the Balck Star Line meeting was beginning its doubtful course. Apearing unexpectedly before the gathing recognition of their wounded leader brought forth a frenzied roar of cheering and jubilation and from that moment the project of a Negro super-government, the redemption of Africa, the financing and building of the Black Star Line and all the rest of the long and ambitious program seemed in every sense a go. From that moment that enterprise has been as one instilled with new life. By maryrts, indeed is the world made. From that day in the autumn of 1519 until the first day of last August the energies of an ever increasing personnel of Negro leaders were directed toward formation of more branches of the U. N. I. A., over the world and the recruiting of Negroes as members, with the ultimate hope that sufficient enrollment would be obtained to make a world-wide convention to act upon the plans for the future of the race. If and when called, truly representative. Within a little more than two years this organization obtained more than three million paid members in virtually every city and state in the Union, and colony and country abroad; since the August convention the membership has neared the four million mark. As proof of the popularity of his programme, Garvey takes pride in citing the fact that in eight years of organized activity on the part of the Moton and Du Bois bodies they have gathered together only eight hundred thousand Negroes. Feeling that their membership war rented action on behalf of the entire race, arrangements were put in motion in the summer for the calling of the convention before which Garvey and his cabinet would lay their final plans and seek the mandate for putting them into execution. Every branch throughout the world elected delegates and from Abyssinia, Liber in, Australia, South and Central America, Europe, Canada, Haiti, Cuba, and all the islands of the West Indies and from virtually every large city and Negro-populated state in the Union they came 3,000 strong to present their grievances, advance their recommendations, participate in the drafting of their bill of rights and declaration of independence, and lastly, meet important of all, to hear Marcus Garvey, the new leader and idol of their race, tell them in his own words his idea of the destiny of all Negro peoples. On August 1st, at the close of the convention, there was issued to the world a Declaration of Negro Rights and Constitution of Negro Liberty which proclaimed them and thereafter the Negro's political, social, economic and religious equality with, and independence of, the white and other races and set in motion the forces deemed necessary for the establishment of a Negro super-government of the world. It was a great day in the history of the Negro race. It was the greatest day in the life of Marcus Garvey. Long, straight, silky hair can be yours if you want it.
