To The Fiftieth of the Planet, Sir Now and the question concur in the vector of the two theiminor caribbean has been taken up to the Sir president Court. I would like to know from those one who knows, in order to utter those who are in need, whether it be a fact or not that the first Committee, appointed by the mea- sure of the Westmoreland clinic, did at a subsequent meeting of the elo- pure number a hour, written report against moving or consolidating this clinic and coordinated the present site as the most convenient and desirable one in the city. The members were so well pleased with this report that the same Committee was reappointed to look into the question of financing in proposition to rebuild or enlarge the present property. "Ooh! what a nuzzled webb we arew When first we practice to deceive The "sheet will not down." This is partial Committee never reckoned not, never reported back to the members, so as to what they were planning, but so co-work and employed a lawyer, and had all of the papers prepared and most of the proxies signed, delivered and ready for the interview. The members of the club were on fire in the dark as to what was being traced up. A REFERENCE TO THE PAST The late Ben Hill, of though, in his great speech denouncing Mahone, delivered in the Senate of the United States some years ago, declared that William Mahone was elected as a Humane Democrat, and then voted with the Republicans on the re-organization of the Senate. Mahone tried to injure himself by saying, in his reply that every man had the right to choose his opinion, Mr. Hill gazed at him and in a very impressive manner replied, "Yes, every man has the right to choose his opinion, but the lot he has to be honest and no back to his own opinion and tell them he has changed all politics. Your constituents will then take a new vote on your change of politics, and if you are then elected and come back to this argument body and vote your constituents, I will accept you as one other candidate." you as any other senator. The Committee should have rededicated so soon as they decided no to represent the Club as a whole. The president of any organization is supposed to represent and safeguard the interests of the humblest member, to be entirely impartial, in his decisions, and should not side with any objection, in this merger fight, the President seems to have led the assault on the authority. Madison or Jefferson would not have done this. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN CARTER—STEWART Jess O. M.

We want one stand ard of citizenship for all people with the right to vote and be voted for. We want one standard of education in the schools supported by the taxes and revenues accruing from the labors and properties of the common people. We want, one standard of pay for a i teachers, and not a different standard for each race. We want an open field and a fair game in the big arena of Life. A CALL TO ACTION .

Now that the question concerning the merger of the two Richmond clubs has been taken up to the Supreme Court, I would like to know from some one who knows, in order to satisfy those who are interested whether it be a fact or not that the first Committee, appointed by the members of the Wesmoreland club, did, at a subsequent meeting of the club, render a long, written report against moving or consolidating this club, and recommended the present site as the most convenient and desirable one in the city. The members were so well pleased with this report that the same Committee was reappointed to look into the question of financing a proposition to rebuild or enlarge the present property. "Oh! what a tang ed webb we weave When first we practice to deceive." The "ghost will not down." This im partial Committee never resigned, and never reported back to the membership as to what they were planning, but set to work and employed a lawyer, and had all of the papers prepared and most of the proxies signed, delivered and ready for the merger. The members of the club were entirely in the dark as to what was being trained up. A REFERENCE TO THE PAST The late Ben Hill, of Georgia, in his great speech denouncing Mahone, delivered in the Senate of the United States some years ago, declared that William Mahone was elected as a Han cook Democrat, and then voted with the Republicans on the reorganization of the Senate. Mahone tried to justify himself by saying, in his reply that every man had the right to change his opinion. Mr. Hill gazed at him and in a very impressive manner replied: "Yes, every man has the right to change his opinion, but first let him be honest and go back to his constituents and tell them he has changed his politics. Your constituents will then take a new vote on your change of politics, and if you are then elected and come back to this august body and vote your convictions, I will respect you as any other senator." The Committee should have resigned as soon as they decided not to represent the Club as a whole. The president of any organization is supposed to represent and safeguard the interests of the humblest member, to be entirely impartial in his decisions, and should not side with any "clique." In this merger fight, the President seems to have led the assault on the minority. Madison or Jefferson would not have done this. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN CARTER—STEWART. Mrs. O. M.

TOIL, OF DEATH INCLUDES 25 WHITE MEN; ORDERS USU- LED TO DESARM ALL CIVILIANS. Citizens: Take Charge of Mergers, Giving Injured Prompt Attention Phone: Tiremen Waite Residential Section as Firemen Are Prevented From Combating Configuration. Tuba, Okla., June 1. New Lighting has broken out on North Greenwood Avenue, the principal colored busi- ness district, according to a fireman just returned from the scene, who says the fire trucks were fired upon by four colored men. State troops have also been fired upon, he said. Race riots today resulted in the death of eighty-five or more persons, including twenty-five whites and the wounding of more than 500, according to estimates by the police, and in the destruction of ten blocks of homes in the colored quarter. Despite the placing of the city under martial law today, desultory firing continued during the afternoon, but the city this evening was comparatively quiet. Four companies of the National Guard under Adjutant General Barrett, are on duty. The reported death list grew all day. At noon the Chief of Police notified Governor Robertson at Oklahoma City that the total was seventy-five. In one statement Major Charles W. Daly, of the Police Department, put the figure at 175 saying he believed many colored people had been burned to death in their homes. Of the white men known to have been killed, five have been identified, as follows: Homer Gline, 17, Tulsa; Cheo Shumate, 24, Tulsa; Emmett Beckley, 35, Leroy N. Y; Carl D. Lotseisch, Randall, Kau, Man previously identified as P. M. Baker, Haviland, Kau, believed 'o he Normal Gillard, Tulsa. The trouble is declared to have started last night from the arrest of a colored man charged with attacking an orphan white girl, and subsequent attempts of colored men to rescue the arrested man. Comparative quiet prevailed in the later hours of the night but at daybreak a group of colored people's houses were set afire and the city firemen prevented from fighting the flames. As a result of the fires 5,000 colored people are, homeless Armed white men formed a circle about the colored section. Fire department officials expressed the belief early this afternoon that white residence districts would be saved from the flames that are still raging in the colored section. With martial law in effect in the city and county, three or more companies of national guardsmen placed at strategic points in the colored quarter, orders issued to disarm 11 citizens and approximately 6,000 colored people under guard in detention camps of officials expressed the belief that the situation is under control. For several hours during the morning parties of colored and white people faced each other across railroad tracks, on which could be seen a number of slain colored people. COLORED PEOPLE PLACED UNDER GUARD With the early arrival of Adjutant General Barrett and a machine-gun company form Oklahoma City, a sembiance of order was restored. Several thousand colored people were assembled at Convention Hall, the baseball park and the police station, and there guarded. Orders were issued for the disarming of all persons not belonging to the guard, or especially deputized. Detachments of national guard were scattered about the city at strategic points, especially about the colored quarter, where 10,000 to 13,000 colored people it is estimated make their homes. Nearly half that number are now under guard. Dick Rowland, colored, whose arrest led to the disturbance was removed from the city to an unnamed place. Officers declared he would be given a speedy trial. Prompt medical attention was given to the wounded, colored as well as whites, at local hospitals and dressing stations. Civic organizations and citizens who volunteered their services cared for the colored refugees, to whom ice water and sandwiches were served throughout the day.

ANDREW BOWLER HONORED BY HIS POUILS. Sunday evening, May 22, the Mount Olive Baptist Church was crowded almost to overflowing, the occasion being a Grand Reunion of all the J. Andrew Bower Pupils. The purpose of the J. A. B. pupils was to honor their beloved teacher, former pupil by the name of George Barnum is the originator of the movement, for the idea of a reunion was first conceived by him. He communicated this idea to two other members of his own classmates, Mrs. Catherine Wilder Evans and Absa Albuma A. Stewart both of whom became thoroughly enthused with the project and the three at once began to draw up paans ana to notify the J. A. B. pupils. To these three paren sons, then is due the credit for the Reunion of the J. A. B. pupils, for they are indeed the Founders. On March 28, 1921 the pupils were organized into the J. Andrew Bowler a Pupil's Association. The following officers were chosen, Mr. George Barmain, president; Mrs. Catherine Widtje Evens, Vice President; Miss Abina M. Steward, secretary-Preasurer. For nearly three months the Founders worked untruly to bring about a Grand Reunion of these pupils. On Sunday, May 22, their envoys were crowned with success, they more than realized their expectations when on the appointed Sunday evening the Mount Olive: Baptist church was crowded almost to overflowing by a most appreciative audience. The Committee on Music, Messrs. Oliver Williams, director, Chas. E. T. Stewart, and William A. Holmes, alt J. A. B. pupils deserve special credit for the beautiful music rendered by the J. Andrew Bowler Pupil's Orchestra. White ribbon streamers designated the pupils, Mrs. Evans had the honour or of planting a streamer on the believed teacher. The pupils occupied the right side of the church. On the rooftop sat the Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, almost as youthful in appearance as when the Old East End School was first opened. To his left sat the Mistress of Ceremonies, Mrs. Ella Pollard Carter, whose sunny smiles and cheerful words are always such a comfort and delight to all her audiences. To her left were the Founders of the Reunion they were happy to see their elites crowded with such success. A most interesting literary and musical program was creditably presented by the J. Andrew Bower pupils. The Opening song, "All Hall the Power of Jesus Name," was sung by the entire audience, the welkin fairly rang with the echo of happy voices; scripture lesson by the pastor, Rev. J. Andrew Bowler. A fervent prayer was offered by Deacon Van Winkle. A pantonine, "Come ye Disconsolate" was beautifully rendered by Miss Gladys Lucas and her little sister Mary. The J. Andrew Bowler Pupils' Orchestra with Mr. Oliver Williams, directing and Miss Mary Washington the pianist, broke forth with a beautiful slection, which thoroughly aroused the hearts of all present. This orchestra had made careful preparation for this occasion and the high grade of beautiful music which was rendered certainly did credit to the whole Orchestra. The welcome address by Mr. J. Alvin Vaughan brought back appause from the audience. Mr. Vaughan is quite an orator. The Response delivered by Mr. George Barnum, president and Founder was a credit to himself and his teacher. A duet by Mrs. Florine Mack Ball and Miss Arnet a Whiting was next creditably rendered. The audience was then favored with a solo by Miss Manie Evans, the daughter of Mrs. Catherine Wilder Evans. A paper entitled the "Origin of the Reunion was well read by Mrs. Uda V Jackson Wood, Miss Olivia Scott and Mrs. Alma Scott Chapman most pleasingly rendered a duet which was much applauded. The address of the evening was delivered by the well known Real Estate and Business man, Samuel P. B. Steward who spoke in glowing terms of the sterling qualities of his devoted teacher also mentioning the great work which Rev. Bowler has accomplished among the pupils, patrons and friends of Church Hill. At the close of his speech Mr. Steward descended the rostrum amid the hearty applause of all present. After this address the audience had the pleasure of listening to the sweet Soprano voice of Mrs. Catherine Evans, who only after much persuading agreed to appear on the program, having retired from pub musicales. Last but not least, an original poem by Miss Albuna M. Steward, entitled, "A Shining Light," paid a glowing tribute to the life, character and work of her beloved teacher. It told of the love and devotion held by the pupils for this teacher. Stenza after stanza was punctuated with applause. The entire poem, with its heart felt rendition readily awakened in the heartia of pupils and friends a like a response which bids well for the composers. The Cecilty was under the direction of Mrs. Amie Bentley Scott, who PRICE, FIVE CENT'S in the course of her appeal for contribution for the church paid a glowing tribute to her teacher, followed by Robert Wilder and Mr. Robert Thotap son with added words of praise The friends' table under the supervision of Miss. Moselle Robinson Williams, though not a pupil could not refrain from adding words of commendation, seconding her was Messra. Samuel H. Green, a pupil, the proprietor of a flourishing cleaning and press establishment of Church Hill and Rev. S. M. Garnett, Printer and Stationer of this section. A handsome sum of $40.00 was raised for the church. Mr. 'Olinda Tompkins in well chosen words presented to Gate teacher on behalf of the J. Andrew Boyer Pupils' Association, first a large box of beautiful white carvings and poemies, now a handsome costly Silver Loving Cup, beautifully enervated, containing $25.00. Two other original poems, one by Miss Minnie L. Coleman, the other by Miss Bessie Clay were presented. Mrs. Nannie Edwards Allen, on her half of the friends presented a purge in token of the love and esteem with which the Public of Church Hill resided this teacher. Rev. Boffer's response was great is enjoyed by all. In his remarks he urged the J. A. B. Pupils with the patrons and friends to stand as one in the great move for the uplift of Church Hill, assuring them of his hearty cooperation in the future as in the past. His pupils, in this demonstration have striven to give to this worthy and much beloved teacher his flowers, while he could gaze upon them and case in their fragrance. He has heard read his epitaph in the beautiful poem of Miss Steward—In the different addresses and speeches, he has had the pleasure of listening to what is usually said after the finale. In the beautiful songs, solos, duets, together with the revivals of the orchestra he has with his own cars gathered what at others times is termed a "direge." The Closing Hymn, "Bless Be the Tie that Binds," led by the orchestra was sung by all. Benediction by the Pastor. Then followed the hearty hand shakes of the teacher, pupils, friends and all. Usherms on this occasion were Miss trazel Evans, Alma Barnum Clara Wilson, Laboroch Wood, Bessie "tucker," Mildred Woodson, Gladys Woodson; Mamie Sayls, Bessie Clay; and Irma Ronne.

With some people, words were made to deceive. Some people's words are like ple crust, --- casly broken. Some people fear to die and few people fear to live. People who live easy do not always die the same way. We shall all reach Heaven if we do right, prove faithful and faint not. Some people would go into Heaven by the back-gate, if they could do so. They say they have peace in Europe but they are fighting all the time. Saving money is a praise-worthy nabit, which few people acquire. Your mother possesses true love; your girl usually possesses the mixed kind. Love is the highest degree of liking. Some people possess only the lowest degree. Protesting is all right, but there must be something to back the protest.. Paint and face powder answer the same purpose. Both are used to hide a multitude of imperfections. A man with a little money and a wife will not be long adding an auto mobile to his collection. Living like other people will keep you with an empty pocket and "your nose on the grind-stone." Getting rid of some people is an easy task and getting rid of some others is a lifetime job. Few husbands place the true value upon their faithful wives until these wives are dead. Arguing with some women is about as useless as arguing with a mule and the same applies to some men. All some people want to know is that you do not desire them to have it and they are detained to get it. Some couples do not know that they are tired of each other until they get married and then they are really tired! A person who wears a fine suit of clothes with all of the money he possesses in the world in his pocket is a mighty poor specimen of an American citizen. He must save some earnestly. Upsetting usages and discarding customs seem to be a common practice of some of our latter day statesmen. --- If you have money to spend, you will have friends, but when your money is gone, the friends will go the same way.

Getting up late on the same day is a curse to some others. ```markdown ``` A saving wife is usually linked up with a spend-thrift husband and a saving husband is usually married to a spend-thrift wife. --- Words with some people are voiced to deceive and not the present day in habitants of this earth seem to like this kind of people.

That which lasts only during prosperity is of the spurious kind. ```markdown ``` Some people are as stubborn as an army mule and some others are as yielding as a young pup. A happy mean is needed in most people.. Well-nigh every chauffeur, who owns his own car thinks he can repair the same, if he only had the time, in which to make the repairs. Making friends is an accomplishment that every one does not possess and making enemies is an acquirement; that most people possess. Some people die only when the time comes and some other people die because they make their time come earlier than it would otherwise arrive. Some people were built to lounge around and "soldier" and some others were built to get up and work. To which class do you belong? Some folks think more of themselves than other people think of them and some others think less of themselves than other folks think of them. Some people's faces look like a funeral alce when they are drawing money and then it is one brief, fleeting smile and then even that is gone. The Irish Republican army is not recognized as an army by Great Britain and the British army is not recognized as an army by the Sinn Féin forces. President Warren G.

Making blunders is a natural habit with most people and not making blunders is an acquired accomplishment which will prove its worth as the years roll by.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.ckly are dis ances were not accepted at their face ance and ask authori ments. They value. transferred to the pu But the people of the South did not believe that he would be able to prove stronger than the party which elected him and the result showed the correctness of the conclusion, for about eighteen months after these words were written, without any lawful right to do so, he issued his emancipation proclamation. Judge Richardson fails to state that President Lincoln justified his action by the issuance of his Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure, when the country was under marital law and that this was done only after the southern States, including Virginia had refused to consider his pleas for peace and had proceeded in their work of secession and the destruction of the Union founded by that prince of states men and leaders, George Washington of Virginia. By their action, had it been successful, the hallowed bones of the President of the American Republic would have rested upon the Confederate States' soil and with them would have been those of the "sage of Monticello," Thomas Jefferson, the writer of the Declaration of Independence. Such a consummation was unthinkable by every loyal citizen of the United States of America. That leading southners realized this is confirmed by the following statements accredited to this distinguished jurist. He is quoted as follows: "But, still the people of Virginia clung to the Union, in the formation of which her sons had contributed so much, and for which she had made so many sacrifices The Virginia Convention had repeatedly voted down all resolutions looking to secession. The right to withdraw from the Union was universally conceded and it became only a question of expediency. Every honorable effort was made for consultation and compromise, but, on the 15th day of April, 1861 the newly installed President called upon Virginia for her quota of 75,000 men to invade her sister States of the South. In that year Robert E. Lee had said: 'I can anticipate no greater calamity than of dissolution of the Union. I am willing to sacrifice everything but honor." To our mind, no grander specimen of manhood or abler Virginian, inspired by nobler purposes ever lived in this country than Major General Robert E. Lee of Virginia. He must have fought a losing battle with well-nigh a broken heart. His mind, his heart led him otherwise, but he bowed to the advice of his friends and the mandate of his mother State. What he regarded as honor alone decided him in the contest and he engaged in a death struggle that challenged the admiration of the civilized world. It was evident that the demand that they fight their sister southern States decided them in this contest. We have read Judge Richardson's plea with more than passing interest in that the Democratic Party contended for States Rights in 1861 and this same Democratic Party in 1916 and in 1920 eliminated the very States Rights for which it contended in 1861. As a result the old Republican Party under President Warren G Harding is now entrenched in power with all of the power for which it contended from Grant to Roosevelt. President Woodrow Wilson aided and supported by a minority North and a majority South eliminated the last vestige of States Rights in the enactment of the Prohibition Amendment to the Constitution and the Woman's Suffrage Amendment in that same instrument. Both belonged to the resurved rights of States. But why comment further. Recent legislation at Washington under the Democratic chieftain was in the nature of a tragedy. Judge Richardson is a party man. It would be interesting reading to have his views openly expressed relative to these events and to emblazon in large letters his final conclusion concerning these events in American history, which have revolutionized this Republic and placed us in the attitude of undoing the work of the Fathers enacted nearly two centuries ago. The New York Herald shows that the Congress is not only fooling itself but deceiving the people as well. A Democratic Secretary of the Treasury submitted estimates to the Congress for $5,064,369,733 and the law-makers received the amount to $3,717,441,484. The actual amount expended was $8,602,624,631. This was a case of saying one thing and doing another. The New York Herald explains how this was done in the following language. These three kinds of appropriations, which do not appear in the regular list, have come into vogue only in the last two years. They are the worst kind of subterfuge, because they fool the public and they fool many legislators. It has become the practice for different departments when they call to get the appropriations they want in the regular appropriations, to look up some unexpended but Most people, who are sickly are disposed to conceal their ailments. They are like married couples, who disagree, but who are disposed to conceal their disagreements from their neighbors. Ambassador Harvey is a brilliant diplomat and a noted jurist, but when he drove a Ford car through Hyde Park, London, he placed him self in the category of the cranks, who need watching. Some physicians, who are called up in the middle of the night to attend a patient, who is a hard pay are of the opinion that they missed their calling just as the patient will miss them the next time, when he is in trouble. --- Being polite (to colored people is as honorable and as praise-worthy as being polite to white people and being polite to both classes will make it easier for you to get along in this world. ```markdown ``` JUDGE D. C. RICHARDSON'S DECLARATION. Judge D. C. Richardson, the abe presiding jurist over the Hustings Court of this city and one of the most popular men in this municipality today was the orator at the exercises which took place in Hollywood Cemetery Memorial Day. He served in the Confederate Army and after reading his eloquent historical address we felt as though the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts began in Virginia. Be that as it may, he has searched the archives of history and has brought forth some very interesting information. He is of the opinion that under the reserved rights of States, Virginia had a right to secede from the Union. We regret that he did not pursue the discussion further and say whether or not he was of the opinion that she still has that right. On that phase of the subject, so far as the newspaper report of his utterances is concerned, he is silent. He is quoted as follows: In support of his assent that the Southern soldier did not fight for the perpetuation of slavery Judge Richardson referred to the historical works of Munford, a recognized authority, showing that slavery was forced upon Virginia. The House of Burgess repeatedly protested against the importation of slaves and repeatedly passed laws to prohibit it, but all such laws were vetoed by the King. And gain: In 1776 the first General Assembly of Virginia enacted a law prohibiting the importation of slaves, which was the first antislavery law enacted in the history of the civilized world. It was flagrantly violated by the shipowning residents of the New England States. Virginia, time and time again, made her voice heard against slavery. The wisest and best minds in the Commonwealth earnestly desired to be relieved of the incubus of slavery and hundreds of the State's most eminent sons never owned slaves. Thousands of slaves were set free long before the voice of the abolitionists was heard in the North. What Judge Richardson says is a matter of history and while he is enquent in his declaration concerning the hundreds, who never owned slaves, he is silent concerning the tens of thousands, who did own them. It has been repeatedly charged that New England's antipathy to the slave-holding business was because it was not profitable. Judge Richardson makes a further statement, which is of more interest and which seems to embrace the thought and wishes of the majority of the people of this grand old commonwealth. He is quoted as follows, Alluding to the conduct and teaching of the Abolition party of the North, its thwarting of Virginia's designs in working out the gradual emancipation of the Negro, and the election of 1860 Judge Richardson said: "In 1860 a sectional candidate was elected President, whose views on the slavery question were well-known to the people of the country. It is true that Mr. Lincoln, in his first inaugurat address, said: 'I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe that I have no lawful right to do so and I have no intention to do so." There can be no denial that Abraham Lincoln was a sectional candidate for the presidency. just as Jefferson Davis was a sectional candidate, but his open declaration should have been accepted at its face value. He subsequently proved that he had the manhood and the backbone to carry out his pre-election pledges. He was exposed absolutely to the institution of slavery and had been opposed to it from his youth. That was the fundamental use why leading south as senators counted the move to take why President Lincoln He says: FOOLING THE PEOPLE. ance and ask authority to have this transferred to the purpose for which the regular appropriation was refused. This is what is called a reappropriation. Indefinite appropriations and revolving funds are also the source of much extravagance because they are not subject to supervision, and the use partments to which they are granted are at liberty to spend as much as they wish and the Treasury is bound to honor their demands. The world seems to now being engaged in the game of deception. The much heralded reduction in expenditures is absolutely no reduction at all and the people continue to be borne down by onerous 'tares and glib promises of the politicians. It is evident that the feeling of resentment is growing as the storm of public disapprehension is rising. THE OUTBREAK IN OKLAHOMA The reports of the clash between white and colored people at Tulsa, Oklahoma, Wednesday, June 1, 1921 are not at all re-assuring and would seem to indicate that certain elements among the white people had staged a slaughter of the colored people, which has resulted in an appalling loss of life and a monumental amount of injury on both sides. So far as ascertained at this time, eighty-five persons are known to have been killed and more than five hundred wounded while the loss of property will equal many tens of thousands of dollars. The injury to the reputation of this town and State cannot be computed in dollars and cents. This emphasizes the importance of the interracial movements, which have taken place throughout the Southland recently. Conservative white and colored citizens are getting together to curb this unreasoning and unreasonable feeling existing between the lawlors classes of both races. This outbreak is traced to the arrest of a colored man upon the charge of attacking an orphan white girl, and the alleged attempt of certain colored men to release the colored man charged with the offense. There is no statement that this coloured man attempted to criminally assault the girl or that he succeeded in doing so. It was one of those insane exhibitions, which no one can explain and as a result, this section of the country for miles around is plunged in mourning. It is difficult to believe that this is a Christian country with its Sunday Schools and churches, with its prayer books and Bibles, when men and women, to) lose control of themselves and engage in a clash which would be a disgrace to the kingdom of Turkey. The report states that more than three colored people were killed to one white person. What satisfaction can this be to Negro-haters, who regard one white man's life as being worth that of one hundred Negroes? It emphasizes the fact that there should be a constant effort on the part of all classes to create and cultivate a friendly relationship between white and colored people. It should be instilled in the children of both races. Little acts of kindness, the exercise of unusual politeness in everyday life will tend more than anything else to foster this feeling of friendly relationship. Strong men with rifles, shot-guns and revolvers may arouse the martial spirit, but when it is all over the suffering, the individual cases of injustice cannot do otherwise than awaken. digust in the lawless, the cruel and the heartless on both sides and to open the well-spring of sympathy for the suffering elements of both races. This *Bulaa shaughter* will start an investigation and an attempt will be made to make the colored men under arrest the "goats" in the rails, which are to follow. This should not be. Enough blood has already been shed without invoking a sleeping court of injustice, where the truth will be half-told and where the white folks will be the sheep and the colored folks the dogs, in the clash that followed. Conservative colored men and women would do well to start a campaign among the martial elements amongst their own people, to the end that they may not do anything to further aggrigate the situation and which may result in a blood-letting contest, which will result in irreparable injury to the United States of America. It is notifiable fact that the white folks of Tulsa, Oklahoma applied the torch and not the colored folks. It may be that in doing this, they may open the eyes of hundreds of lawless colored folks to the power, which they possess in this respect and bring about here conditions, which in Ireland have handicapped and escarrassed one of the most powerful nations upon the face of the globe. Colored leaders, both male and female would do well to talk peace, pray for peace and work for peace. In this they will be supported by the better class of white people, whose numbers are being constantly increased and augmented by everyday happenings, which tend to prove that we only safe route to lose ourselves prosperity of our whole country. and inform, and a call was sent to nearby towns for available nurses. Following the firing of the first shot last night at Sixth and Boulder streets, the fighting spread to various parts of the city, including the business section. At one time 2,000 Armed white men were reported to have engaged the colored people. Railroad stations were the scene of several encounters and a number of casualties resulted when trains were fired upon. Women and children huddled together in the stations, seeking safety behind marble windingstones. In addition to the colored people under guard at Convention Hall and elsewhere, twenty-tour colored riot prisoners were in the city jail. COLORED QUARTER SET ON FIRE The first attempts to fire the colored quarter were made about 1:39 o'clock this morning when white men openly threatened to destroy the locality. Two houses at Archer and Boson used by more than fifty colored people as a garrison, were set afire at that time and an alarm was turned in. Efforts of the fire department to lay hose were stopped by a crowd of armed white men and the department returned to its station. The attempt to destroy the colored quarter by fire was resumed five hours later, when almost simultaneously fire began to burst forth from the doors and windows of frame shacks along Arch-street. Soon dense clouds of black smoke enveloped the location. Under cover of the smoke screen armed men in motor cars and afoot took a cordon about the place where the colored people were stationed and occasion al shots gave warning that the conflict still waged. As the fire enveloped the houses the colored people were seen to dart out from flaming doorways with upraised hands, shouting "Don't shoot!" As they dashed through the smoke they were ordered to surrender and quickly were removed to the prison camps. Adjutant-General Barrett took up his headquarters at City Hall and announced that Colonel Markham, of Oklahoma City, was in command of field operations. MANY AFFECTING SCENES Throughoutt the morning long lines of colored people streamed westward along the streets leading to Convention Hall. Many wore their night clothes and were barefooted. Their ushen faces bespoke gripping fear. Men, women and children carried bundles of clothing on their heads and backs. Here an old woman clung to a Bible; there a girl with dishevelled hair carried a woily white dog under her arm and behind trotted a little girl with a big wax doll. In one case an aged colored woman supported an old man, wrapped about with quills and blankets and apparently very ill. He was immediately placed in an automobile and hurried to a hospital. But all those who came to Convention hall were not noncombatants. Repeatedly grim-faced men, heavily armed, whirled up to the big hall directly from the scene of fighting under a big bell on North Greenwood. With them closely guarded, were colored prisoners captured during the fray. A 20 year old white boy, named Olson, of Sapulba, died this morning following a fight at a railroad station. Persons not deputized as special officers were ordered to disarm in a proclamation issued by Mayor Ersan THE TULSA TRAGEDY. --- Until investigation of antecedent events shows the cause of the bitter race feeling that cropped out in Tussa last night and today, any analysis of necessity is premature. The mob spirit so easily breaks bounds, unless it is repressed the moment it shows itself, that trivial events sometimes are responsible for grue some tragedies. Usually, however, if one searches far enough, one finds some old grievance that has embittered men, or some fear that has driven them to a frenzy. It may not be without significance that the worst race riot of recent years has occurred in the "new city" of Tulsa—a city that has been butt up within the last ten years by immigrants from many parts of the country. It certainly is significant that the three most distressing race riots since that of East St. Louis have been in Washington, Chicago and Tulsa, places where racial relationship has not been established on a sensible foothing by long understanding and decent consideration. In this is vindication of the views of those who have maintained that the whites and the colored people of the older Southern cities know better how to live together in amity than do the various fanatics who rise up to preach an extreme policy of one sort or the other. The average coerced person asks primarily for two things—justice before the law and freedom from threats that have their origin in his color. He asks that when he comes before a court of law he will not be penalized because he is colored. Give him absolute cold-blooded justice and you set dom have trouble. Give him, in addition, a sense of security and the eaness of any organized violence become a most negligible. Not every colored person it must be remembered, is able to distinguish between the foolish putter of propagandists and the serious threats of on occasional bitter man. If a coroner springs up of organization against the Negroes, it arouses fear in some and, in others, a desire for counter organization. The mere foolish the repellent, sometimes, the greater the reaction. It is all-important, those who have the ignorant should succeed that the more of a city and the white man who are their friends will see to it that they can live in peace and security. Nothing had done more good in Richmond, in recent months, than the convincing evidence the coed people have had that the people of this city do not countenance and will not permit any organization of any sort to terrorize with violence threats Negroes who are law-abiding and industrious. In giving our colored citizens the sense of security to which they are en fitted, the white people have had the intelligent support of many of the coed leaders. It is not forgotten in Richmond that the first call sent out after that of the poice, for the apprehension of persons suspected of a recent wretched crime, was issued by a number of colored ministers who appealed to the Negroes of Richmond to assist in apprehending the guilty persons. Justice and security—these with common sense application of the gold en rule—will care any community from race troubles. (Richmond, Va., News Leader, June 1, 1921.) PREACHER STANDS OFF MOB INTENT ON REMOVING MAN FROM HOSPITAL 2010-04-20 Protects Wounded Man Charged With Crime, in Methodist Institution Under His Care—Faces Invaders With Revoiver in Hand --- Hattiesburg, Miss., May 27—Standing at the head of a Bight of stairs, pistol in hand, the Rev. G. S. Harmon, a Methodist preacher, late night stood of a masked mob intent on removing Casey E. Jones from the Methodist Hospital here. Jones was wounded yesterday by J. S. Mosoy, after he had shot and dangerously wounded Mrs. Mosely. Dr. Harmon, commissioner of the hospital upon learning that feeling was aroused against Jones, seated himself in the dark at a window which gave him a grand view of the street in front of the hospital. Two or three automobiles soon drove by, arousing the parson's suspicion, and he called up the police, asking for more guards. Before they arrived, however a number of masked men slipped into the yard and one of them bandaged as though injured stepped upon the gallery. Dr. Harmon refused to allow him to enter but others of the party entered through a window only to find themselves confronted by the preacher who warned them not to come up the stairs. "Doctor, we aren't going to make any racket," said one, "we just want our man." "I am a Methodist preacher," replied the doctor, "in charge of this hospital, and responsible for all in it. We have sick women and sick men here and they are already torn up over this disturbance and you dare not come up those steps unless you cross my dead body. Now, shoot if you dare; you may kill me but you shall not come up those steps." Hearing the screams of nurses, other members of the mob outside made a break to gain entrance, but Dr. Harmon again leveled his pistol and threatened to shoot forcing them to retreat. The mob also dispersed and a few minutes later, when Sheriff Mcmonson arrived, with deputies the tension had been relieved. --- U. S. ATTORNEY COMES TO GOV. DOREY'S DEFENSE Declares Georgia Governor's Pamphlet on Peonage Outrages Entirely Justified. GROSS QRUELTY TO NEGROES Appeal From State's Executive to People to Put End to Such Conditions Declared No Reflection on Commonwealth. --- Atlanta, May 27.—The Georgia peonage controversy took on increased interest here today with the publication of a statement by Cooper Alexander, United States Attorney, defending the now celebrated peonage pamphlet recently issued by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey. Dorsey's pamphlet which dealt at length with peonage conditions in Georgia and alleged cruelties to Negroes, has attracted a torrent of criticism from all parts of the State, several prominent officials leading the attack. Alexander is the first high official to openly come to the chief executive's defense. The laws of the State of Georgia are violated and defied in cruel treatment of "Negroes with a frequency that warrants inquiry and demands correction." said Alexander. The district attorney offered in his statement to produce names of witnesses who would be willing to testify in a number of cases not ever listed in the Governor's pamphlet. "Negroes have been killed on the public highways and their bodies left exposed to the public gaze," continued the Federal official, "and though their slayers are known, no action has been taken to bring them before a jury. "If these things are true, they ought to be corrected. It concerns the honor of all of us to correct them. It is not true that an appeal to the people of Georgia to put a stop to these evils is a reflection on the State and her people. It is the honorable and proper course to take and if it is not then, in the name of justice what is? At a mass meeting here last Saturday night, condemning Dorsey for the state's misuse in the meeting was attended by approximately 1,200 persons. ROAROKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., June 1.—Rev. James S.

THE EMPLOYMENT AND WAGE AT PANAMA. In order to give the reader of this article a clear description of the employment and wage problem here at this time, it is necessary for us to look back a few years to the busy days of construction of the Canal, when labor was in great demand and wage correspondingly high. It was during those days that tens of thousands of West Indians and hundreds of Ameri cane came to Panama. This enormous influx of labor was of the same type as the immigration of Europeans in to the United States or the migration of the American Negro from one section of our country to another; all are in search of employment and a living wage. This process of immigration continued until 1915 when the great waterway was opened to traffic. Since that time immigration in large numbers has not been encouraged; but the great surplus of labor which was already in the country, and the action of our Gov emment in taking over all lands with in a five-mile limit on each side of the Canal, making the Zone strictly a military reservation for the purpose of protecting the waterway resulted in an economic problem. An end, also, was put to agriculture, or stock, or poultry raising, exception on a very limited scale and under certain strictly prescribed conditions. Furthermore, only employees of the Canal or of the Panama Railroad Company were permitted to occupy living quarters on the Zone and as a consequence all who lost this employment either quit the country, which was done in very few cases, or flocked into the cities of Panama and Colon, or into other portions of the Republic. Of this number as many returned from time to time as found openings for re-employment however the total number of these was comparatively small due to the decrescade demand for labor on the Zone. The recent reduction of the Congressional approval for the operation and maintenance of the Panama Canal has resulted in throwing out of employment scores of American whites and hundreds of West Indians; the former having the privilege of receiving free transportation to their homes, the latter being in this extremity, like a man without a country, having no source upon which to depend. A few of them have saved a small percentage of their earnings, the masses however, being entirely destitute of sufficient means wherewith to leave the country. There is just one palliative fact in this situation. Anyone is privileged to acquire a tract of land from the Panama Government on which he can sette and where agricultural pursuits are unlimited. It is clear, then that in spite of problems of employment, there is comparatively little occasion for suffering in this land of evergreen and eternal beauty, in which any man, who will, can avail himself of some kind of an opportunity for existence, and for improvement of his condition. --- GRAIN GAMPLING ENDED BY NEW REPUBLICAN ACT. Washington. May.—That the passage by the House of the bill restricting trading in grain futures will! immense benefit to the farming in interests of the country is the opinion of Representative Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, the Republican floor leader. He says: "The committee has endeavored, as I understand it, to retain a wide opportunity for dealing and traduing, both in cash grain and in futures and preserving that opportunity is a very important one. I think for the grain trade and for the grain growers." On the other hand the committee proposes to outlaw by prohibitive taxation certain purely speculative, purely gambling, transactions; transactions that do not, as a matter of fact, broad en or extend or widen legitimate trading in grain, but transactions which, in the opinion of many people, have a tendency to produce a condition of fluctuation in the market, harmful alike, as they see it, to both consumer and the producer. The desire of the committee has been as I understand it, to differentiate between those transactions that are legitimate, even those that may be purely speculative, but necessary and helpful to the dealer and not harmful to the grower and to put the band on pure, unduplicated and harmful gambling Whether the committee has accomplished this purpose in an ideal way I do not pretend to say, but I be lieve they have approached their task with an understanding of what was needed, and I am inclined to the opin ion they have reached a sound conclusion. I want to compliment the committee on having approached this matter from a perfectly sane viewpoint, as it appears to me. There are folks who are misguided enough to believe that we should very greatly curtail—opportunity to trade and speculate in commodities. I have never indulged in the trade and of pastime pursuits. I believe it would be most unfortunate for the producer of grain or of any nonpoisonable commodity of large productions and consumption if we were to curtail unduly the opportunity to trade its products not only to the mills but the commodity will be some time in the future.

Through each regu- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA and the general accounting office. The House bill is built upon the principle that the President of the United States is the only official elected by all the people, and hence the only official who is pledged to carry out plan form obligations of the party in power. Today he is the only official elected by all the people pledged to belong to economy in the Government service. He appoints, with the advice and consent of the Senate, the ten Cabinet members; he appoints the members of the independent establishments. We do not appropriate money simply for the purpose of making appropriations; we appropriate money to carry out work planned for the Govement. The President alone formulates this plan. He has very recently laid a part of his plan, before us and before the country which it is proposed the Government of the United States must carry out and in order to do so certain appropriations must be made. The appropriations are necessary for the execution of that plan. The President being the one official that makes the plans, it seemed to the members of the House committee, in respective of the party to which they belong, that the President when he is making his work plans should take into consideration the cost of the execution of these plans.

THE EMPLOYMENT AND WAGE AT PANAMA. In order to give the reader of this article a clear description of the employment and wage problem here at this time, it is necessary for us to look back a few years to the busy days of construction of the Canal, when labor was in great demand and wage a correspondingly high. It was during those days that tens of thousands of West Indians and hundreds of Americans came to Panama. This enormous influx of labor was of the same type as the immigration of Europeans in to the United States or the migration of the Aeamerican Negro from one section of our country to another; all are in search of employment and a living wage. This process of immigration continued until 1915 when the great waterway was opened to traffic. Since that time immigration in large numbers has not been encouraged; but the great surplus of labor which was already in the country, and the action of our Government in taking over all lands with in a five-mile limit on each side of the Canal, making the Zone strictly a military reservation for the purpose of protecting the waterway resulted in an economic problem. An end, also, was put to agriculture, or stock, or poultry raising, exception on a very limited scale and under certain strictly prescribed conditions. Furthermore, only employees of the Canal or of the Panama Railroad Company were permitted to occupy living quarters on the Zone and as a consequence all who lost this employment either quit the country, which was done in very few cases, or flocked into the cities of Panama and Colon, or into other portions of the Republic. Of this number as many returned from time to time as found openings for re-employment however the total number of these was comparatively small due to the decrescade demand for labor on the Zone. The recent reduction of the Congressional appreciation for the operation and maintenance of the Panama Canal has resulted in throwing out of employment scores of American whites and hundreds of West Indians; the former having the privilege of receiving free transportation to their homes, the latter being in this extremity, like a man without a country, having no source upon which to depend. A few of them have saved a small percentage of their earnings, the masses however, being entirely destitute of sufficient means wherewith to leave the country. There is just one palliative fact in this situation. Anyone is privileged to acquire a tract of land from the Panama Government on which he can set and where agricultural pursuits are unlimited. It is clear, then that in spite of problems of employment, there is comparatively little occasion for suffering in this land of evergreen and eternal beauty, in which any man who will can avail himself of some kind of an opportunity for existence, and for im provement of its condition. GRAIN GAMPLING ENDED NEW REPUBLICAN ACT Washington. May.—That the passage by the House of the bill restricting trading in goods futures will! 'innumerable benefit to the farming in interests of the country is the opinion of Representative Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, the Republican floor leader. He says: "The committee has endeavored, as I understand it, to retain a wide opportunity for dealing and tradining, both in each grain and in futures and preserving that opportunity is a very important one. I think for the grain trade and for the grain growers." On the other hand the committee proposes to outlaw by prohibitive taxation certain purely speculative, purely gambling, transactions; transactions that do not, as a matter of fact, broad en or extend or widen legitimate trading in grain, but transactions which, in the opinion of many people, have a tendency to produce a condition of fluctuation in the market, harmful alike, as they see it, to both consumer and the producer. The desire of the committee has been as I understand it, to differentiate between those transactions that may be purely speculative, but necessary and helpful to the dealer and not harmful to the grower and to put the band on pure, unadulterated and harmful gambling. Whether the committee has accomplished this purpose in an ideal way I do not pretend to say, but I believe they have approached their task with an understanding of what was needed, and I am inclined to the opinion they have reached a sound conclusion. I want to compliment the committee on having approached this matter from a perfectly sane viewpoint, as it appears to me. There are folks who are misguided enough to believe that we should very greatly curtail—not only to trade and speculate in commerce, but I have never indulged in the practice of pastime myself. I believe it would be most unfortunate for the producer of grain or of any nope. The commodity of large productions. I consumption if we were to carefully the opportunity to trade. The products not only to the market, the commodity will be at some time in the future. HOUSE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE BUDGET BILL FIGHT Washing on Maye - Differences between the House and Senate to whether power to make up the nation al budget shall be placed in the White House or the Treasury Department are being irradied out in conference as the result of concrete action on the bills sent through each agency. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA and the general accounting office. The House bill is built upon the principle that the President of the United States is the only official elected by all the people, and hence the only official who is pledged to carry out plan form obligations of the party in power. Today he is the only official elected by all the people pledged to bring about conony in the Government service. He appoints, with the advice and consent of the Senate, the ten Cabinet members; he appoints the men boss of the independent establishment. We do not appropriate money simply for the purpose of making appropriations; we appropriate money to carry out work planned for the Gov't enacted. The President alone forms this plan. He has very recently held a part of his plan, before us and before the country which it is proposed the Government of the United States must carry out and in order to do certain appropriations must be made. The appropriations are necessary for the execution of that plan. The President being the one official that makes the plans, it seemed to the members of the House committee, in respect of the party to which they belong, that the President when he is making his work plans should take into consideration the cost of the exection of these plans.

Sir—The National Equal Rights League, in which Colored Americans are branded together for self protection of full rights of citizenship, is encouraged by the report in the Colored American newspapers to congratate you upon your true and honorable Americanism which prompts you to entirely ignore the bold and un-American petition of white employees of the Federal Government against the appointment of Colored citizens by the President of the United States to official positions wherein such will have authority over them. This is exactly what we expected of your honourable self, and we are not surprised that you intend, we feel sure to accord equal rights to all, regardless of race, color or creed.

REET RICHMOND, VA. THREE BOUCK WHITE TAKEN FROM BEI FLOGGED, TARRED AND FEATHERED. Stirred by Craultly Charges of His Bride Masked Men Setze Him. Poughkeepsie, May 20.—Bouck White, radical agitator and founder of the Church of the Social Revolution was horsewipped and turned and feathered last Monday night by a group of citizens of Mariboro, N. Y., because they believed he had been cruel to his brute or less than five weeks, Mrs. Andre Ennille Shannon White, who is now seeking an amendment of the marriage on the grounds of fraud. The mixture of tax asphalt carbide acid and feathers was applied so thoroughly that when White removed it he took with it a large collection of skin. The back of his neck to day seemed to be almost skinless. According to the story told by the people of Mariboro and corroborated to a large extent by White, although he insists that the group was colapsed of "city toughs," the agitator was asleep in bed when three automobiles filled with masked men drew up in front of the rude stone and wooden shack in which he had been living in retirement for the last three years. The shack is in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains, one of the most desolate spots in Ulster county. White was dragged from bed, a rope tied around his waist and he was hauled into the middle of the dirt road that ends at the shack. There he was flogged by the masked men un til he dropped from exhaustion, after which his pajamas were ripped from his back and the tarring and feathering done. This is the story that the neighbors including men who are said to have taken part in the affair tell, but White says the truth is somewhat different. He said he had been treated roughly by a gang of city toughs," and he told a reporter for the New York Herd who visited his shack yesterday that he had not been tarred and feathered but that he had been beaten. When asked what was the matter with his neck, he said he had been sunburned. The agitator declared that the "tombs" threw him into an automobile and drove him to a town south of Newburg, a distance of more than thirteen miles where he was thrown out after promising to "do right by his wife" and left to make his way back home as best he could. ADMITS MARTIAL TROUBLES. Reporters who visited White at his shack found him alseep in a russet swing in the front yard. With him as his companion on the thirty acre estate was William Sanger, an artist and the husband of Mrs. Margaret Sanger of birth control fame, who is now in Europe. Sanger has a studio on the grounds which a huge signboard announces is "Bouck White's Place." When the reporters came in White arose to a sitting position in the swing, but he did it with difficulty and rubbed himself caressingly, as if he was in considerable pain. "It's all true," he said, when asked about his martial troubles. "You boys can go the limit. Never mind me, but take care of her. Give her the best of it." The man who was so spruce and dap per and so careful of his appearance while a leader of the parlor reds in New York city was dressed shabby. He wore a pair of old army shoes, through which his toes poked; his elbows protruded from holes in a dirty gray sweater and he wore the remnants of a linen hat. He declared he had told his wife that he was an agitator, but said he probably did not make her realize fully the extent to which he was "committed to the cause" social revolution. "It is just one more," he said of the 30,000 marriages between French women and American men since the war that have turned out unfavorably. French publicists and statesmen are beginning to concentrate on the fact and are trying to discourage such unions. It is just a case of two opposite strains of temperament not mixing. French and American marriages do not turn out right. It is not my fault and it is not her fault. It is merely because the French temperament cannot get used to American frontier ways. I consider myself a frontierman. My place is at the end of the road and I am, therefore, practically at the frontier." White denied that he ever had struck his wife as he claims, but he said that one time during a difference in opinion he picked her up and carried her to her bedroom. He has several scratches on his face to prove his assertion that Mrs. White did not like that. When he was asked why he had buried himself in the mountains White said: SAYS WORLD HAS BRAINSTORM The war broke up my work down there in New York city. My agitation was all before the war and I had a right to agitate. When America entered the war I told my radical friends that since America had an enemy in the open and the blood of America's sons was being spilled. It was up to us to abandon our radical activities. When I made this announcement all of my friends abandoned me, so I came up here. The world is now suffering from a brainstorm, and when this is over and people get back to sane thinking again, I shall have a message for them and I am sure they will listen to me. Me and my martial difficulties are but an incident, merely one of the 30,000 such failures, and they are easily settled. The girl, mean my wife—will get her annulment and I will pay her fare back to France. This story should be kept on a high plane, and it can host be done that way if you boys do not mention the visit of these city toughs last Monday night. They call me an anarchist, a Socialist, a Blochist and an I. W. but I am none of those. I am just a liberal. All I want to do is live and write. I am now writing a book on the part the multidisciplinary play in the great cataclysm that is bound to come. The tar and feathering episode which cost White maugh pain and con siderable skin was the climax on twelve days of married life in the shack near Mariboro, twelve days in which an attractive young French woman who had thought she had married a conservative American business man was thoroughly disal-ous. The awakening, Mrs. White said was attended by a series of rights in which she was hit by White and su-tered many black and blue marks. She finally left the shack a week ago last. Thursday the morning, and was seen by Mrs. Leonia Swile, housekeeper of the Mariboro atomoom house, the nearest house to White's place walking down the road carrying a heavy suit case. She was crying and seemed to be about to faint. MARRIED IN PARIS APRIL 21. Mrs. Swifte called to William McElrath, owner of the hotel and they invited the young woman to come in and rest. She is now staying there as the guest of the hotel, and will be cared for by Mr. McElrath and Mrs. Swifte until the courts dispose of her case and she can be sent back to her home in Paris. She told of marrying White in France because she thought she loved him and believed he was a business man. The ceremony was per formed on April 21 in Paris, and on the following day they started for the United States. White and his wife reached New York April 30 and went to live in the Hotel Holly in Washington Square. White then proceeded to introduce the oung French woman to his radical friends, but none of them made a favourable impression. Her husband then summoned Miss Louisa Adams Graur a Socialist in good standing to teach his wife the principles of radicalism, but Mrs. White was deeply imbued with the nationalistic ideals of the French and she refused to be converted. It was then that White decided to take his bride to the mountains, to the shack which she says he had pictured to her as a luxurious country place. Bernard F. Cecire, a Poughkeepsie lawyer, is acting as Mrs. White's counsel in the annulment action and Harry G. Harper has been named guard fan and litter, the girl being July 20.

Perry, as President of the Quill Pushers Organization. Cincinnati, O., May 23.—(National Negro Press Association Service.) According to the action of the executive Committee, as announced here to day by Joseph L. Jones, chairman, J. Finley Wilson has been officially acted of the death of the former president, Chris J. Perry and at the same time, asked to take official charge as the Chief Executive of the National Negro Press Association. Chairman Jon's stated that this act ion had been taken after he had had a conference with the Corresponding Secretary who stopped over on his way East last week and after he had gotten in touch with the members of the Executive Committee. Mr. Jones stated that the wording of the constitution was not clearly expressed on this subject, but that the association was following the precedent set by other organizations where the head passed away or was removed by death Mr Wilson the new president has been an ardent worker in the association of newspaper men for a number of years. He is serving his second year as First Vice President, a position he held at the time of the death of Mr. Perry. He is also the chairman of the Advertising Committee, which has its headquarters located in New York City. From the information gained here, it is understood that Mr. Wilson is one of the liveliest and most wide-awake newspaper men through out the United States, and his journal The Washington Eagle, published in the Nation's Capitol, has served the entire population for a hundred miles each way. While he is a producer of Tennessee, he has lived in the East close on to twenty-five years and is regarded as one of the most widely known men connected with the quill pushers, organization. He was elevated to the First Vice Presidency at the meeting of the Association in Nashville, February 1920 and presided throughout the session at the last association convention held in Washington, D. C., as the late Mr. Perry was then confined in the hospital and unable to be present. Chairman Jones stated that one of the first official acts of the new president would be to call, perhaps a conference of the newspaper men with the Executive Committee. Just where this will be held, he is not certain, but said in all probability, the corp spending secretary would be in the East before the middle of July and woe. Hold a conference with the new president touching matters affecting the members of the organization throughout the United States. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA IS YOUR HAIR SHORT OR THIN?

FRANKLIN THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST "Thanks to Dr. Winston for his introduction and thanks to the denomination for support. 4. In the evening the annual education al sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. A. L. James, of Roanoke. It was well delivered as well as scholarly. After sining by the students of the National Training school, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the founder and president delivered an address using as her theme "Our Job." "Race Relations," was the conference theme for Friday moning, and Dr. Carter G. Woodson of Institute, W. Va., delivered an address. Dr. W. B. Reed, Prof. M. Franklin Peters and others spoke. The sermon was preached by Rev. S. E. Davenport. It was impossible to get standing room in the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, Sunday morning. It was practically the closing sermon, although there was a mass meeting in the after noon, Dr. T. J. King the president preached the sermon and special musie was rendered by the choir of the church. Dr. King said "Who is she that cooketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banner?"—Song of Solomon 610. "Solomon's Vision of the Church of God." "We find ourselves at this hour associated with one of the most sainted sages of antiquity; a man of God, a praying King; the man who built and dedicated to the mighty proposition of redemption, the first great temple, where God was invited to stand in the midst of His people and spread forth His hands in blessings, while sinful men were called upon to enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise, kneel before Him and acknowledge that He is their God. "While this royal poet stood in the midst of the darkness of an unchristian age, waiting to behold the first flickers of Heavenly light from the bursting forth of a new day, when a kingdom of joy, light and salvation should be ushered in upon men, His weary soul renewed its hopes and His faltering faith stood up in strength when through the dim vista of years the light of life burst in upon him like so many effulgent rays floundt from the very throne of God into darkness of our dying days. What an enaptururing scene God places upon the can vas of divine revelation before the eyes of this man of faith and righteousness? "What more fitting means could our Father have selected to reveal to His servant son, the certainty and glory of His coming Kingdom? What picture in all the course of nature could excel that of the dawning of a new day the falling upon the great time table of God of another golden link to be added to the mighty chain of days and years? "In this dead picture from a painter's brush which, though adroit to look upon, after all is but the fruit of a powerful imagination? Is it but the fondly dream of a frolicsome youth in love with the fair lady of his choice? I think not, it is the vision of a man of God through whose heart and lips the Prince of Power whispers words of consolation and assurance to His waiting church. "In the days of Solomon, and even today in conservative sections where people observe God's order of days and nights, men wake up and get up when the day breaks and the light comes. I believe it is God's plan for men to wake up and get up when the light comes. It was the author of this text who asked the question of men who slept under daylight: 'How long wilt thou sleep, O, sluggard, when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?' "Light has a peculiar effect upon the optic nerves. Under normal circumstances all that's necessary to wake a sleeper is to turn a sufficiently strong light into his face and he will begin to turn over, wake up and open his eyes. "So bright was the light from the son of righteousness when Jesus was on earth, that even the blind who had never seen the light of day, nor the loving face of a faithful mother, woke up, opened their eyes and looked on Jesus." Deacon Adoiph Humbles, who has been the treasurer of the convention a number of years, was on hand, and looked after his part. He has been a great help to the Baptists of Virginia and his whole life is centered in the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Dent.

VIRGINIA NORMAL WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP Petersburg, Va.,—Virginia Normal has had an unusually successful baseball season this year and stands as the undisputed champion team of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Association. Coach T. L. Puryear succeeded in moulding out a team which showed a thorough knowledge of the game and ability to work together as an organization. The team work was all that could be desired. Several members of the team did work which at times bordered on the sensational but the success of the team depended more upon the team work than upon brilliant individual playing. The pitching of Braxton has been a terror to every team which he has faced Armstead, another pitcher, won all of his games and could always be depended upon to support Braxton. The pitchers were able to do their best at all times because of the wonderful work done by Moses, the catcher. His all round playing, especially his throwing to the bases, was very good. Coates has done great work both at bat and in the field. Turner at short and Nicholas in left have also done good playing. The team is the best the institution has turned out in years and richly deserves the success it has won. THE SEASON'S SCORE. The score of the season is as follows: Virginia Normal 9, Virginia Seminary 2; Virginia Normal 14, Virginia Seminary 3; Va. Normal, 10, St. Paul N. and I, School 2; Va. Normal 10, St. Paul N.
