M., which marks the eve of Rev. and Mrs. Cobbs' wedding anniversary, as they were about to retire, the noble women of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and friends came with the greatest surprise of their career, to show their appreciation for the works accomplished by the Rev. Mrs. Cobbs in her untiring efforts and zeal, that she has shone within the past two years. A handsome purse was presented by Mrs. Laura Best, which was followed by remarks of thankfulness by the Rev. Mrs. Cobbs. After which her husband spoke in the highest terms of the women of the church and of her work as a companion; which was followed by remarks from Mrs. Ellan Brown, after which the table was spread and Rev. and Mrs. Cobbs led the procession, to partake of the delicacies prepared, Mt. 12 of clock we all went home full of glee. We pray God's special blessing upon this, our church, and our young pastor and his wife. The Sunday-school of the above named church is getting along nicely. The teachers seem to bestirring themselves along the lines of preparatory work. 11:30 A. M. our pastor preached a strong Gospel sermon to the daylight of all present. The Rev. Jennings, of the Second Baptist Church, preached at night. Our brother is a young man in the ministry, but he surely has the needs to deliver and he can do the same. The rally was very successful, owing to the times. The third Sunday in July has been set apart as a Dollar Day, that is each member is asked to bring a dollar on that day. Sir James Cox made a confession of religion last Saturday evening and he will be baptized by the Rev. Cobbs tomorrow, if nothing interferes. We all feel very glad of the open confession of our brother; Those responsible or used their strongest efforts in his liberation were: Mrs. Rosa Higgins, Mr. Silas Watkins and James Banks. The baptizing will be in the creek at 1 P. M. Special services tomorrow, communion at 3:30 P. M. We come out and make these services what they ought to be, so far as attendance. We are endeavoring to build up our night services, therefore each and every member is requested to do all they can to accomplish the same. Special services at the Rising Mt.

CARTER ON "BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION." Daville, Va., June, 1921. I sometimes wonder what kind of a political campaign would or could be conducted in this State if the candidates for the offices to which they aspired were compelled to omit entirely any reference to the Negro. My dear boy, it would be like attempting to "shoot craps" with no dice. Here we have going on in this old "burg," known as the "Mother of States and Statesmen," a contest between or among, certain gentlemen for various and sandy offices, and we hear a whole lot of "junk" about good roads, better roads, public schools, pensions, issuance of bonds, and anything else that a gallible people can be persuaded into believing that any one man can do for them and people seem to forget that no governor whom they might elect can build one foot of road, open a single public school, issue one little bond or pay one nickel in pensions; and so forgetting, the people go to mass meetings, listen at and cheer the pure and unadulterated buneomb and straightway goeth home and forgettit it all till the next spell-binder arrives to whose clap-trap they listen just as eagerly, cheer as lustly and forget just as quickly. The slogan of one candidate is "Back to the Constitution", and being a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people of this state, it seems that he should tell the people for whose votes he is striving, where, when and in what manner have the people of Virginia departed from the Constitution of Virginia, for that is what I presume he is talking about, for if he has no reference to the Constitution of Virginia, and if his slogan does not mean "back to the constitution" of this state, then his "war cry" is without meaning; and if he means "back to the Constitution of the United States", then it would be pertinent to make the inquiry, where have we gotten away from the Constitution of the United States and when? and what was Congress thinking about while passing so many unconstitutional laws and when it had on its roster from this very state some as good lawyers as can be found anywhere, two of whom have governors and one is now filling with conspirons ability a place on the bench of our State Supreme Court of Appeals. Aur the candidate of whom I am speaking has failed also to tell the people what unconstitutional law has been enacted by Congress and has found its way into the Supreme Court of the United States and has not been, by that court declared void. The gentleman recently said, "I believe that in a return to the Constitution lies the salvation of the people. The Constitution gives certain powers and prerogatives to the Federal government, enumerating seventeen of them. Everything else is reserved to the states, police powers among them." I should like to ask, if seventeen only of the rights reserved to the states are enumerated in the Constitution of the United States, who is there to say what are the "reserved powers" not enumerated? but our friend could not well get along till he had put the Negro in it and this he did by referring to a bill now before Congress the passage of which will prevent railroads doing interstate business from making Negroes pay first class fare and then made to ride in cars not much better in ride in cars in many instances, than second rate cattle cars. On many of the roads doing business between this state and the states farther South, the smokinf car in one state becomes the Negro passenger car in the other, and it is almost as easy in some places in the South to get transportation to heaven as it is for a Negro to get Pulliman accommodations. Is it to be seriously contended for a moment that the National government can control the interstate trade in sheep and hogs and has not the right to regulate the passage of human beings? When and where did the states reserve the right to intertie with any matters beyond its own borders? When and where, and in what section of the Constitution did the states reserve the right to make me change my seat in a car in which I had ridden from New York to Alexandria. And would the gentleman have the goodness to tell the people of Virginia what has the Congress of the United States to do with public schools? and if it has no control over them, then, if his reference to the possibility of a National law being passed to compel whites and blacks "to occupy the same seats in the public schools" was not for the purpose of attempting to stir up strife in a city which a few hours before he made his speech was near being the scene of a race riot, then it meant nothing. A supposedly great Constitutional lawyer should put his talents to better use. It is an insult to the intelligence of a people when it is assumed that only by appeals to prejudices and passions can they be awaked to duty. The references to a National divorce law was on the same level as the other references to which I have alluded. The speaker knows that it is just as impossible to pass a law compelling the marriage of whites and blacks as it is to pass a law requiring every citizen to buy a flying machine; the speaker knew at the time and knows now that Congress is not idiotic enough to try to legislate upon a question so purely domestic; and if it did its action would be declared unconstitutional in less than ten minutes after it had fairly reached the Supreme Court. Back to the Constitution" means nothing far as can be gathered from the remarks of the candidate of whom I speak. But back to common sense and old Virginia love of fairness and justice must be much. What this State needs most is not so much talk of "back" to someone from which the people have never once, but men in high places who will see to it that "judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."

CULTARY CENSORSHIP OVER HATTAN PRESS IS CHARGE Haitian Authors of Memorial To Congress Appeal to American People. An appeal to the American people was published here today by the Haitian authors of the Memorial to Congress, who assert that a rigorous Press censorship has been reectablished in French Prince, by Colonel John H. Russet, who, they assert, has been prisoned two editors and forbiddle Haitian newspapers to publish American newspaper comments on the recently published Memorial. The appeal to the American people, which is signed by H. Paulleus Sannon former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Haiti; Stenio Vincent, former President of the Haitian Senate; and Perelval Thoby, former Haitian Garrie d' Affairs at Washington, was given out at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York and is as follows: "A new attack upon the liberties of th Haitian People has been perpetrated by Colonel John H. Russell, commanding the marines at Port-au-Prince. According to the latest reports and newspapers from Haiti, Colonel Russel issued on May 26 last a military order suppressing freedom of speech and of the press. "The order translated from the French is as follows: ORDER OF THE DAY Although in principle, there is no striction upon liberty of the press, and of speech nevertheless the writings and speeches of an incendary nature, or which tend to cast discredit it on the forces of the United States in Haiti or which tend to incline the people against the functionaries of the United States who are giving aid and assistance to the Haitian Government or writings and speeches attacking the person of the President of Haiti or the Government of Haiti are prohibited. All contravention of the present or the present order will be brought before a military tribunal. (Signed) JOHN H. RUSSELL. Colonel U. S. Marine Corps. Commanding First Brigade. U. S. Marines and United States Forces Ashore in Haiti. "Subsequent to this, two Haitian journalists, M. Lolibois and M. Lannee were arrested. A third M. Thebaud, is being sought. "It is because the Haitian newspapers protested against brutality, crime and an American suppression that the new order was promulgated Under such an order the marines can with impunity continue to terrorize the Haitian people. "This situation is a return to the oppression which we had to endure during the first five years of American occupation in Haiti. The delegates to the American peon's of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, appealed to all fair-minded Americans to insist on knowing the facts of the violence and oppression which are being perpetrated in their name by United States forces in the Haitian Republic.

Phe gentleman recontly said, “U believe that in a return to the Constitution lies the salvation of the people. ‘The Constitution gives ect tain powers and prerogatives to the Vederal government, enumerating seventeen of them. iverything else is reserved to the states, police pow-| ers among them." T should like, to. ask, if seventeen only of the rights reserved to the states aro onumer- ated in. the Constitution of the United States, who is. there to say’ what are the “reserved powers” not. enumerated? but our friend could not well get along till he had put the Negro in it and this he did by reter- ring to a bill now hefore Congress: the passage of which will prevent railroads doing Interstate business, from making Negroes pay first class fare and then made to ride in cars| hot much better in appolntment, in: many instances, than second rate eat~ Ue cars, On many of the roads do- ing business between this state and’ the states farther South, the smok- Inf ear in one stato hecomes tho No- fro passenger ear in the other, and, it ts almost as easy in some places in the South to get transportation to! heaven as it is for a Negro to Ket Pallman accommodations, — Is it to ho seriously contended for a moment that Ube National government can control the Interstate traffic in sheep and hogs and has not the right to regulate the pussage of human be- ings? "When and where did the states reserve the right to interfere witht any matters beyond its. own borders? When “and where, and in what see- tion of tho Constitution did the states rosorve the right to make me change my seat in a ear in whieh Thad tld den from New York to Alexandria? And would the gentleman have the Roodness to tell the people of Vir- gina what has the Congress of the United “States to do with public schools? and if it has no control over them, then, if his reference to the possibility of a National law be- ing passed to compel whites and blacks “to occupy Mie same seats in the public schools” was not for the purpose of attempting to stir up strife in a city which a few hours before he made his speceh was near being the scene of a race riot, then it meant nothing. A supposedly ‘great Constitutional lawyer should put his talents to better use. It is an insult to the intelligence of a peo- blo when It is assumed that only by ‘appeals to prejudices and passions jean they be awaked to duty. The references to a National «i- vorco law was on the same level as the other reforences to which 1 have alluded. ‘The speaker knows that It Js just “as Impossible to pass a law compelling the marriage of whites and blacks as it is to pass a law 2o- quiring every citizen to buy a flying machine; the speaker know. at’ the time and knows now that Congress Js not idiotle enough to try to legis- late upon a question so purely do- Imestic; and if it did its action would be declared unconstitutional in less than ten minutes after it had fairly reached the Supreme Court. “Baek to the Constitution means nothing so far as ean be gathered from the remarks of the eandidate of whom I speak, but back to common sense and old’ Virginia love of fair Ness and justice mean much, What this State needs most ix not So much fall of ack’ to something from which the people have never gone, but men in high places who will see fo it that “judgment run down as waters, and righteousness ws at mighty stream."

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Two Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY.....JULY 2, 1921 Some folks dodge work just as they dodge a policeman. Getting sick is easy, getting well is difficult. Parlor ladies are all right if they make good housewives. Some people go wild about one fault and blind as to all others. Colored folks will be sure to get to Heaven, if the white folks are slated to get there. High prices are coming down and high wages are keeping step in coming down too. You cannot win abusing people. You can get a long ways down the road praising them. People, who worry themselves into the grave soon reach a place where there are no worries. Because you cannot please everybody is no reason why you should not please somebody. Getting into trouble is easy, but in getting out of it, you may have the time of your life. Some people falsify so much that they would not recognize the truth if they should meet it in the road. When a woman wants anything, it is needless to argue the question with her. You've got to put up or shut up. When a woman is for you, then you have some one to help you. When she is against you, good-night and good-bye. Some of our colored leaders cannot and will not tolerate opposition within their own ranks. This is fundamental weakness. Lots of people believe that words were made to deceive and that actions are intended for the same purpose. It is useless to try to please everybody. Jesus Christ, the Son of God couldn't do it and we should not expect to succeed, where he failed. Hot weather is here and some people want to go to the sea shore, where it is much hotter on the beach and much cooler in the water. It begins to look as though the whiskey men are perfectly satisfied with existing conditions. They are selling their products at an advance of 1200 per cent. Being polite and obliging and striving to do people favors will help one as an individual and tend to benefit all of our people as a race. Numbers of people run their houses by the expenditures of their neighbors who have money to spend. The result is eventual humiliation and disaster. Automobiles are very popular. They have made the direct road to the poor house regularly accessible to automobile owners. Colored folks should do all in their power to make friends with all classes in this country. This is a time when they need friends and should exercise friendship. Some people can live all right together until they get married and then the company of most anybody else is preferable to that of the one, whom they have selected. A man, who believes that the average woman thinks more of him than she does any body else is fooling him self and the woman, who thinks the same thing about a man is about as foolish as a woman can be. Going to reeve by any route save by the straight and narrow path is liable to land you at the back gate or that heavenly region which never opens for the admission of anybody. Hating white people will not help us. We should love them according to the scriptures and cultivate friend ship, wherever such cultivation is possible. Turning the railroads back to private ownership and then dictating to private ownership just how they should run the railroads is the cause of the tangle in which the railroads find themselves. Women, who blush if one of their number exposes a limb to the bend in the knee will not even "bat an eye" if this same individual shows the makedness of the whole limb on a stage or at a sea-side resort. Some people just as leave go into the street without clothes as to stay in the house in the same condition. The rigors of the law a one hold them inside of their own houses. They are of the opinion that they have fine forms, which should be subjected to public inspection. --- We are unable to see or understand how the Republican majority in congress can fail to reduce southern representation in the South-land after the National Republican organization has reduced southern representation in its own party. --- Blessed are the hypocrites for they shall inherit the earth and they are inheriting it. Cursed are the hypocrites for they shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven and they are not entering it. --- When you burn and destroy colored folks property, you burn and destroy white folks money for white folks hold mortgages on this property and where there is no mortgage there is much insurance. As a result white folks are demanding that colored folks property shall be protected and thereby save white folks' money. It is reported that assurances have been received which make it reasonably certain that Hon. Charles W. Anderson, the popular colored Republican leader will be named again Collector of Internal Revenue for the Port of New York. President Harding could not do a more satisfactory thing towards pleasing the colored people of this country than in sending his nomination to the United States Senate. This leader is popular with both white and colored people. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is having the time of his life with that Pan-African Congress. The indications are that it will be a success. To our mind, he has made a blunder in declining to invite the Hon. Marcus Garvey on the organization he represents to participate in the meeting. We are of the opinion that neither would attend, but courtesy and racial recognition demand that no narrow course of action should be tolerated in an organization designed to elevate and promote the interests of all classes of African people. Dr. Du Bois should revise his list of invitations. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA We note that the Cleveland Ohio Gazette is criticising the National Equal Rights League, Editor William Monroe Trotter, Secretary and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with James Weldon Johnson, Secretary for their efforts in attempting to secure the enactment of a federal anti-lynching law. We do not see it in this light. Our opinion is that the effort to secure national intervention in this matter should be continued, while every State in which colored people reside should have enacted the Smith Anti-lynching law and the colored people should take active steps to bring about this result. By this method, should we secure action, we shall be able to catch the lynching element "coming and going." The Supreme Court of the United States has reversed itself upon many other questions and it may be that it shall do it in this case. As to the salaries of Mr. Janice Weldon Johnson and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, we think the fundamental question is not so much as to the amount of the salaries but as to whether they are worth it. Certainly the Smith Anti-lynching law has stood the test of the Courts and should be upon the statute books of every State in the Union. It helps the white folks as well as the colored ones. --- THE OUTLOOK AT WASHINGTON Upon the occasion of his first campaign for the presidency, Hon. Woodrow Wilson gave expression to sentiments concerning the colored people's that led them to believe that he would accord recognition to them in proportion to the political aid tendered. After he was installed in office, he failed to live up to his pre-election promises and Bishop Alexander Walters, one of his most ardent supporters, who lived in New York State finally died with out a realization of his expectations. It was presumed that the Negro-hating southern oligarchy was too powerful for him to resist and that he had to yield his personal desires to party expediency. President Wilson never explained why he broke his word by not carrying out his pre-election pledges. He was elected the second time and all references to the colored citizens were forgotten. Instead racial discrimination was everywhere in evidence in the Departments at Washington. He assumed a friendly attitude towards colored people and that was all. His irritation over the question was emphasized by his treatment of Editor William Monroe Trotter, who was made a virtual political pariah, so far as the brilliant occupant of the White House was able to make him so. Then came the nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio. His speeches were gems, so far as his references to the colored citizens were concerned. He enlisted the support of such uncompromising advocates of the rights of colored people like Hon. Harry C. Smith of Ohio, William Monroe Trotter of Massachusetts and many others that we might name. It is true that the discriminating signs in the Departments at Washington have disappeared, but that anti-Negro atmosphere still remains and the representatives of that anti-Negro combination are at work with their anti-Negro propaganda. The word has gone forth that the citizen of color is not to be accorded full and complete recognition as an American citizen, but that a dominating policy of conservation is to prevail. Senator John W. Weeks, Secretary of War, who hails from the liberty-loving State of Massachusetts has notified his own colored constituents that he can afford them no relief. The prejudiced subordinates under him control affairs, so to speak and he is only a "rubber stamp" when it comes to securing for colored men, the rights and privileges to which they are entitled. The most notable instance in the trend of party affairs is the handling of the Georgia case where colored men succeeded in securing recognition and in having upon the Republican National Committee a representative. Hon. Robert R. Church had been admittedly robbed of his rights and privileges as "a sop to the whale" and the temporary success in landing Tennessee in the Republican column where it will remain only for a brief period was regarded as a justification for the scandalous betrayal of the rights of the Republican people. In the meantime, the Republican leaders balk at reducing representation in the southern States. We sometimes wonder if the time will come during our life-time, when right principles will be recognized by those alleged champions of liberty and followers of the good and lowly Jesus. We do not like the outlook. President Harding is a good man and he may be doing the best he can, but we are very anxious to know whether or not he has the moral stamina to live up to his pre-election pledges and whether or not all American citizens, be they black or white really look alike to him and will be accorded fair-play in this struggle for political supremacy between the two factions now struggling for supremacy at the capital of the Nation. AN UNANIMOUS DECISION The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia has decided that the merging of the Westmoreland Club with the Commonwealth Club of this city is unlawful and accordingly the minority members of the former club have won their contention. We are of the opinion that in rendering this unanimous decision (his August tribunal has saved one club and aided another. It is essentially necessary that the membership of a social club should be harmonious and composed of men who have similar tastes and desires, in order that the companion ship may be mutually helpful. The Westmoreland Club has had and has today a certain dignity about it in striking contrast to the liberal policy prevailing at the Commonwealth Club, where practically all men of good character and respectability with the necessary amount of cash are admitted. When you enter the Westmoreland Club, you find that its membership is confined to men of refined tastes, with lofty ideals and where all rules of polite society are rigorously observed. Here they cherish the memories of other days, when the First Families of Virginia flourished and the habits and customs of "Old Merrie England" were practiced with strict regularity. Jurists, desiring a retreat and rest could find it behind the colonial surroundings of staid Old Westmoreland. The youngster of today would enter this cloisture in solemn awe and it would not be long before he would seek the companionship of his fellows in other neighborhoods. Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. Stonewall Jackson and many other Confederate leaders, whom we might mention would have felt at home in retirement here. It was for these sentimental reasons that we hoped that the minority would win in this contest. Those of us who know the history of Westmoreland Club, where once resided, Attorney James Lyons felt that it should remain as "The White House of the Confederacy" remains. Let the old men, who know the history of Virginia have one place in Richmond, where they can "sip their tea" where in years gone by, they could drink their mint-juleps. Yes, she decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal of Virginia is a "God-sent" blessing to some of these older men, who have not so many years to remain with us'. Counsel, who won this signal victory are to be commended for their efforts. There should be no feeling about the matter, that would mar the present friendly relationship. From a commercial stand-point, the majority of West Moreland Club may have been right. From a sentimental stand-point, we are very much of the opinion that they were wrong. The Commonwealth Club does not use the Westmoreland Club, for it has money. The Westmoreland Club needed the Commonwealth Club for it is said to have lacked money. Now let the money that it lacked be raised. The popular club should assist them in raising it. As for us, let these "blue-blooded" Virginians have the seclusion, which they desire and the retreat, for which they have asked. Harmony should be the watch-word and the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia has pointed the way to harm money. The flag of old Westmoreland still files from the mast-head of this stalid institution. Governors and Presidents and diplomats now have a place where they can be fittingly entertained with the proper surroundings. Let us have peace. --- CONDITION IN SOUTH RICHMOND The white men, charged with assaulting a colored girl in South Richmond have been sent on to the grand jury for indictment. Viewed from any angle, this case shows a marked improvement in this section relative to dealing with the rights and privileges of colored people. When information came in to the Police Headquarters concerning the affair, within fifteen minutes from fifty to sixty doubly armed police-officers were upon the scene. This prompt action frustrated a movement, which had for its purpose the sending into this Swansboro neighborhood hundreds of armed, irresponsible white men from Forest Hill, who would undoubtedly have caused trouble. The white men were arrested and locked up, ball being refused. The case was called in the Police Court the next day and postponed on account of the condition of the colored young woman, who was suffering from nervous prostration. On the following Friday, after hearing all of the facts, Judge, H. A. Maurice decided that from the nature of the case there was nothing for him to do but to certify it to the Grand Jury. There is no reas on whatever, why colored people should not be protected by white people and white people by white people and white and colored people by white and colored people, to the end that a feeling of friendship may be weighed in a substantial bond of union, in order that conditions which obtained in Tulsa, Oklahoma may never be repeated in this section of the country. BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTION. Editor Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland, O. Gazette, an enthusiastic supporter of President Warren G. Harding is carrying in the columns of his paper, the following pre-election statements relative to the citizen of color: 'I am for democracy in its fullness!' 'I shall be glad to see as many Republicans as I am physically able to see; all Republicans look alike to me.' 'I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America.' 'I believe in equality before the law. You cannot give one right to the white man and deny the same right to the black man.' "The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has not the test and that he did not and will not fail America. I proclaim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro. "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sac rifees in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." 'If I have anything to do with it, there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unhateful violence whether 5 at proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own hands, can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans. Fear not. Here, upon this beloved soil you shall have justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people, by their resraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God, have earned it, and America will bestow it.' One of these guaranteed rights is to hold office of the same class and kind held by white men of similar and equal ability. We shall note with interest to see whether or not the Hon. Warren G. Harding before he was elected is the same as President Warren G. Harding after he was elected and whether or not he will be able to overcome the powerful influence at the National capital which seeks to deny to the citizen of color the same rights and privileges as are accorded the white citizen. --- THE LIBERIAN MISSION FAILS The Liberian mission to this country under the leadership of President Charles Dunbar Bradley King is a failure so far as securing of the crest it of the ($5,000,000) five million dollars from the United States Government, of which amount ($26,000) twenty-six thousand dollars had already been paid. This is direct evidence that Hon. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, the Liberian representative in this country, had done all that it was possible for any man to do. Just why this Negro Republic should have been denied money accorded to other Governments is a question, and just why the Harding administration finds it impossible to comply with the terms of the Wilson agreement is still another question. As is usual in such cases, the colored brother is left out. It reminds us very much of the story told during the Re-adjuster campaign more than a quarter of a century ago, when colored men went over to the Re-adjuster Party "boots and袋gage." It was charged that Gen. "Billy" Mahone had made use of the colored voters for his own purposes and then after wards left him on the outside. The story goes as follows: A man had a dream and in this dream he saw Gen. Billy Mahone going up to Heaven. On the way there, he met a colored man coming back. He asked him the cause and he told him that St. Peter was not admitting any one into Heaven now who did not come mounted. Immediately, Gen. Mahone had an idea. He said to the colored man. You get down on all fours and be my horse, I'll ride you up there and both of us will get in. The colored man readily agreed and he went up to the Gate, where after knocking St. Peter asked, who was there. "Gen. William Mahone of Virginia, "was the response. "Do you come walking or riding?" was the question. "Riding," was the answer. "All right," said St. Peter, "hitch your horse on the outside and come in." As Gen. Billy Mahone jauntily entered Heaven's gate the colored man was left looking ruefully on the outside. With all of the other nations, the money was approximately paid over, a case of "hitching your horse on the outside and come in," while with Liberia, it is a case of stay ing on the outside.. The talk of a foreign loan is a diplomatic way of letting this commission down easy. They may be able to hold off the creditors of the Republic by this method, but otherwise, it is "a long, long way to Tipperary." Congressional action means slow action. With this country overburdened with debt and economy being urged in all departments, it will be some time be fore the money is realized with which to meet the five million dollar obligation to this progressive Republic. We cannot see why this Government can not make a cash advance of money to these people and relieve the present strain upon Liberia by loaning it some of the past due obligations of England and France. This would seem to us to be the most direct way out. Neither of these countries can fore-close obligations on Liberia without the consent of the United States for the United States has enough past due paper to foreclose on the countries owing this amount of money. We shall watch with interest the result of this play upon the checkerboard of finance. Without being sure of our ground, we are personally of the opinion that President King made the same mistake in coming here that President Woodrow Wilson made in going to Europe. Both could have accomplished as much, if not more through plenipotentiaries. It is an old adage, but never the less true, "Distance lends enchantment to the view." ```markdown ``` THE TIME FOR MEDITATION. It seems to us that this is the time for the colored people of this community to appreciate and understand the peculiar relationship now existing between the white and colored people of this locality and to understand that the straining point between the thoughtless white folks and the irresponsible colored folks has at times been reached. The central figures in handling this situation are His Honor George Ainslie, Mayor of Richmond; Director of Public Safety, Col. William M. Myers; Chief of Police, Major C. A. Sherry; His Honor, Judge John J. Ingram, of the Police, Court and His Honor Judge H. A. Maurice of the Police Court, Part II. Primarily, in the hands of these officials rests the safety of this city from mob rule. That one and all of them appreciate this responsibility fully is self-evident. How can we aid them without making them liable to criticism by their hundreds of irresponsible political supporters? How can we promote the peace and happiness of this community by winning for them commendation from the better class of white people and the more conservative class of colored ones? We can do this by avoiding loose talk, so to speak. Let all references to white people be made in the proper manner, to the end that we as a race may retain their friendship and not invite their enmity. When any of these officials perform some act that entitles them to commendation, let us be forward in showing our appreciation of such acts. By pursuing this course, we will bring about a contented class of people. We must cultivate a mutual confidence and so doing we shall set the pace for a prosperous future. What we condemn in the lower class of white people, we should not countenance in the lower class of colored ones. No matter, what may be said to the contrary, our future is largely in our own hands. The recent happenings in South Richmond and Fulton have strained the friendly relationship between the races here and again it has strengthened it. We believe if the colored people were organized to maintain the law and to support the present city administration, much good would result in the preempts. As the matter now stands, when a colored person is maltreated or injured by a white person, a solid mass of colored people stand up for the colored person, regardless of the rights of the white one and when a white person is maltreated by a colored person, a solid mass of white people stand up for the white person, he they right or wrong. This is the wrong spirit. Division should be made upon the basis of right and wrong and the color should form no part of it. A colored man, who ruthlessly assaults a white person is an enemy to all of us, endangering our rights and privileges and the same is to be said of a white person, who may do the same thing. Let us do what we can to win the support of the largely increasing number of white people, who are friendly towards us and let us begin a crusade to reform or punish some of these lawless elements amongst us. --- Talking right and doing wrong is mighty poor business and will not get you anywhere in the direction of heaven. Some people, who will not subscribe to and pay for a race paper will go in the paper business themselves and then expect people to do for them, what they were unwilling to do for others. Some people cannot see things that will not benefit them. They are always on the lookout for something that furnishes amusement and a good time. Some people believe in cultivating the H/will of everybody. Just as some other people believe in cultivating the good-will of the same class of people. Air-ships are all right for people, who like to go up in them, but they are all wrong for people, who prefer walking upon the earth. A fly can walk upon the ceiling with its body downward, but woe to the human being, who tries to do the same thing. Going up a hill is tiresome business. Coming down a hill is much easier, but is fraught with many difficulties. Some people are asking favors all the time and yet are not disposed to grant favors to other people. Read and pay for a good race paper. It will pay you in the long run. Living any kind of a way just so you are living is mighty poor business. Young folks are all right. Some of them are just built wrong. BIRTHDAY PARTY. A delightful birthday surprise party was tendered Mrs. Florence Cogbill on Wednesday, June 15, the occasion being in honor of her natual day.

AGUE'S APPEAL TO PRESIDENT The appeal of the National Equal Rights League, signed by Matthew A. N. Shaw, National president and William Monroe Trotter, National secretary reads: "The colored citizens of Boston and vicinity and others in sympathy, through the National Equal Rights League, appeal to you as the Executive head of this rich and powerful Government to take note in mind and heart of the brutal slaying of dozens of colored American citizens by white American moblists at Tulsa, Oklahoma and of their ruthless, wholesale attacks upon women, old men and children by burning down all the homes and property in the large colored residence and business section We urge you, facing this disgrace to our country and calamity to an ethnic group of citizens, in mercy and justice to secure from Congress appropriations for immediate care of sick and disabled, and for pensions for those rendered permanently dependent by the mob's destruction or permanent disabled by it and to the families of those shain. "We request that you cause the De Department of Justice to make immediate investigation to the end that all persons accused be protected in their rights under the Constitution. "May the terrible series of Lynchings which have culminated in this message lead you to urge upon Coagress speedy passage of the Dyer Anti-lynching bill in order that as you said in your message, barbaric lynching may be wiped from the banners of the republic." $450.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Danville, Va.

U.S. AL Dear Sir: 9 You have gained ax honorable place in the hearts and minds of the colored people and some of | the whites in the U.S. A. But there fs “even more to do now than ever, You May not consider your position inse- ero; but L will take this Hberty with you, to warn you, str, Uhat your por: Sonal safety, not speaking of your holdings, are less secure this mo- thent, Chan it wax twenty years azo Remember, that tam thousands of miles away’ from you; and doubt very much if T could be able to recognize you should L meet you in the strects. But Twill say, that self-protection in the commonest sense. You, as an_old newspaper man should not need my words to remind you of this, But hero! these organized and. clandes- tined groups preparing to work havoc all about you, And men of your race and prominence are esye- cially marked and doomed, And the laws are doing nothing to thwart {t, Nor can it; as things now stand, yThe common ylneher has been bad enough; but ‘out of the common, there comes a spirit of uncommon activity. And there is no position ‘or circle too secure for tiem to enter and do their wishes to their vietims, jt is exceedingly hard to get colored Ipeople to see any farther than his white friends want them to see. But many of them have felt far beyond the ‘white man's counsel, at Teast. Now, what do you think of a scheme Just walking wp to the vietims and giving his dose, in the open street, jin his office, on the road or in his home? . Does it not save the ox- pense of breaking down prisons and running tho risk of meeting. their own men who must pretend, at least, lo uphold the dignity of the law? And do you believe that your good standing in the eyes of the law and certain “other neighbors can save you? Well: just’ undeccive your- self. For those that are to do these rings there have -far less respect for the laws (han the rankest 1. W. W. or any other groups yet known: Now what are you going to do about iL?

But certain hope may be taken in the fact of a Jdouble ‘acting spirit being born there, T mean, it docs not only act Jrapid; but i sometimes acts hack: wards, And while this. in {lself Jshields many it may be the means Jot foreing the big rats out of their holes.

And in case of war, J What have you to advise your fellow: Jracomon? "There is no people in tho J world, or ever has been here, which stands greater in need of good lead- Jership, than the colored Americans do at ‘this very moment. “And their ] s000 leadership must not be at all of {to old school, nor very common men, Because’ Moses, of old, had only two difficult tasks to start with and yet God had promised him that J he only had to stand before the king Jot Beypt, and the people of Israel, JAnd that’ God Himself would do the Jrest; but colored Americans have the Whole world to front. And even their own leaders, race and country- men to combat with, aside from all the strongest nations of the world to combat with. And their own igne- Jrance and division are both alarm- Jing, But if it pleases God, 1 may find a hole in this awful net at the moment when the hearts of the hoasters will have melted in their JPosoms.
