SUBSCRIPTION RATES se Year ..... $ 2.09 4x Months ..... 1.19 1x Months ..... .60 Organic Subscriptions ..... 2.59 SATURDAY..... JULY 9, 1921 We shall reap heavily if we sow the same way. Making money is an acquirement, which few people master. We see plenty of $75.00 suits upon the bodies of $25.00 men. People, who "make good" can always get employment. Read good race papers and pay for them and all will be well. Dress is some people's undoing. They have but little brains, but much dress. The Liberians have become just like the Americans in this country. They want money. Men, who talk love these days and have no money do not "roost as high" these days as they once did. A really pretty girl has a hard time of it and a really good looking man has a difficult time also. Boing honest and living upright richly repays the person practicing both virtues. Some people apparently believe in the theory, "Dishonesty is the best policy." Some people will not work because they are sick and some others will not work because they are lazy. People, who are happily wedded are thrice blessed. People, who are unhappily wedded are more than thrice cursed. The electric chair seems to have no more terror for the lawless elements than the rope and the gallows. Try and set a good example for other people, without waiting for other people to set a good example for you. Some people are always looking for work and when they see any, they dive down a back alley or go up a side street. The tendency of most people in this day and time is to follow the crowd. Jesus Christ, himself warned against this habit. The white folks celebrate their freedom altogether. The colored folks celebrate their liberation "in patches." Some folks believe in too much vacation and too little work, while some others believe in too much work and too little vacation. It costs a lot of money to live right in this world and it costs a lot more money to live wrong in this same neighborhood.

Some people go through this world as though they expect to live forever. The elixir of life and the remedy for old age have not yet been discovered. The greatest success in this life is acquired by being able to do what other people are not able to do and to render service that other people are not able to render. It begins to look as though Great Britain really wants peace in Ireland and that she will go to any length in order to obtain the kind of peace which she really wants. Many of our subscribers are remembering us by sending in money for their subscriptions. A few grumble about paying, but the great majority rejoice that they are able to pay.

A young man with five female admirers, all calling at the same time for financial attention and social advancement, is worse off single than he would be married.

Colored folks are largely responsible for many of the discriminating laws from which they suffer.

We cannot understand how there can be hard times in this country when white folks will spend one thousand dollars to see a thirteen minute prize fight and colored foks will spend two-hundred dollars to see the same thing. Some colored folks just naturally dislike to pay their debts, whether the amount is fifty cents or fifty dollars. They like to see money coming in all right, but they have the "gripes" to see any money going out. This applies to some white folks too.

Ex-President William Howard Taft has been offered the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and as strange as it may seem, he has accepted the offer This distinguished statesman is true to his life-time instinct,--the desire to accept and hold office. Still, he is an able jurist. His besting sin and well-known fault is that he lacks good judgment. In this section, we will discuss the different types of data structures and their applications. The re-election of Hon. Samuel Gompers as head of the American Federation of Labor is a deserved recognition of a truly great man. You may say what you will but organized labor, after his death will never grieve upon his like again and from the width of his chest and the volume of his voice, he will not be a candidate for the grave-yard for some time to come. In fact, he will witness the burial of many of these, who at present oppose him. --- Being polite is an accomplishment that everyone should strive to attain President Warren G. Harding, has nominated Hon.

Mr. Johnson must necessarily be confirmed by the United States Senate in order for him to enter upon the discharge of his duties. Insumach as he has held this office before, we do not see that there is any cause or reason for his failure of confirmation. This is a preserved recognition of one of the most brilliant colored political leaders in the country. --- Mr. C. A. Spear Bass, Managing Editor of the Los Angeles, California Eagle, was awarded judgment against the big Pasadena Greek Confectionery recently in Judge Albert Lee Stevens' department of the Superior Court jointly with Mrs. E. Holkins for $500.00. It was a case of discrimination in a public place, when on a hot day in last July, while waiting for a car to Los Angeles in company with Mrs. Holkins, they sought to cool their parched tongues. The Greek suddenly ran out of all soft drinks, despite the fact that white customers were being served. Attorney Macbeth represented the plaintiff, while the well-to-do tailor, Mr. Dugene Walker furnished financial assistance in prosecuting the suit. Slowly, but surely, our civil rights are being attained. THE COMING CONGRESS. The National Race Congress, through its officers, Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan, President, Mr. Marsh, All A Talley, Executive Secretary has issued a call for the assembling of the race leaders of America at Washington D. C., May 3-6, 1922. All churches, lodges and other organizations are being urged to participate in this movement. It is claimed that some movement is essentially necessary to extricate our people from the throes of American prejudice. The remarkable admission is made that "our chances grow weaker and multiply with increasing perplexities as the days go by." If this is true, then there is a cause for it and the cause should be sought from within as well as from without. To our mind we need an internal reformation. We take too much time trying to remedy conditions from without, without exercising ourselves about changing those conditions from within. For example, we do not support the movements intended for our betterment. As a result, President W. H. Jernagin and the leaders of similar organizations are not properly supported financially to make their work effective. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just issued a financial statement, which is a disgrace to us as a people. The meagre amount subscribed for the support of the monumental work this great organization is doing is only a pittance. Still, these leaders struggle on in the face of these adverse and disheartening conditions. Then too, we do not give time and attention enough to the lawless elements amongst us. They are making our roadway rough and our climbing more difficult. These uncoath, disagreeable, disreputable elements make ten enemies for the race to every one that other organizations make for the same class of people. We must change all of this by organized effort or else, from a racial stand-point, we shall sink down to rise no more. THE RECENT PRIZE FIGHT. The defeat of Georges Carpentier, the light-heavy-weight champion of the world, by Jack Domsey, the heavy weight champion of the world seems to lend color to the report that the former's reputation as a soldier of France had been capital- ized and he was used as an advertising factor to secure a large crowd to attend a fistic battle, the result of which was a foregone conclusion. It is interesting information too that colored heavy-weights were used in training both pugilists. Those who witnessed this remarkable encounter in which more than one and one half million dollars changed hands in about thirteen minutes are unanimously of the opinion that Carpentier never had a chance. Tex Rickard, the promoter is one of two shrewdest manipulators in the country. He knows his business. An interesting fact in this prize fight business is the return of Jack Johnson to a ring, which he says he never left. He is due out of the Leavenworth Penitentiary this week and he has booked many engagements for the coming months. Owing to the steady conviction of citizens, who have committed no offenses, justifying their incarceration in the penitentiaries of the country, the stain of a penitentiary sentence is being obliterated. Whether or not a colored pugilist will ever again wear pugilistic honors as the champion of the world is an open question. Certain it is that there is little likelihood of it during this day and generation unless some foreigner should wrest the title from Dempsey and in turn lose it to some colored heavyweight in this country. --- DR. DUBOIS AND SOCIALISM Those of on people, who saw or thought they saw an end to racial discrimination and the recognition of all their rights and privileges inside the Socialist Party will be rudely awakened and positively alarmed by the declarations made in a discussion between the brilliant Mr. Claude McKay and the able Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois in the July number of the New York Crisis .Mr. McKay charges Dr. Du Bois with leaping out of his sphere in the May number of that magazine to sneer at the Russian revolution. In reply, Dr. Du Bois makes some remarks, which to the average reader will be astounding and which will tend to cool the ardor of some of our young men, who saw in Socialism a "cure-all" for all of our political and social ailments. Dr. Du Bois says We are aware that some of our friends have been disappointed with The Crisis during and since the war. Some have assumed that we aimed chiefly at mounting the band wagon with our cause during the madness of war; others thought that we were playing safe so as to avoid the Department of Justice; and still a third class found us curiously stupid in our attitude toward the broader matters of human reform. Such critics, and Mr. McKay, is among them, must give us credit for standing to our guns in the past at no little cost in many influential quarters, and they must also remember that we have one chief cause.—The emancipation of the Negro, and to this all else must be subordinated—not because other questions are not important but because to our mind the most important social question today is recognition of the darker races He says further: Turning now to that marvelous set of phenomena known as the Russian Revolution, Mr. McKay is wrong in thinking that we have ever intentionally sneered at it. On the contrary, time may prove, as he believes, that the Russian Revolution is the greatest event of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and its leaders the most unselfish prophets. At the same time The Crisis does not know this to be true. Russia is incredibly vast, and the happenings there in the last five years have been intricate to a degree that must make any student pause. We sit, therefore, with waiting hands and listening ears, seeing some splendid results from Russia, like the cartoons for public education recently exhibited in America, and hearing of other things which frighten us. Dr. Du Bois makes a clear and unmistakable distinction between what he believes and what he knows. In doing this, he is ultra conservative and "gets no-where." Still, we admire his judgment in doing this. We are frank to say that we do not share in his optimistic views relative to New Russia and its new leaders. He makes a statement as follows though, with which every colored person in this country can agree. We are moved neither by the superficial omniscience of Wells nor the reports in the New York Times; but this alone we do know: that the immediate work for the American Negro lies in America and not in Russia, and this, too, in spite of the fact that the Third Internationale has made a pronouncement which cannot but have our entire sympathy. "The Communist Internationale once forever breaks with the traditions of the Second Internationale which in reality only recognized the white race. The Communist Internationale makes it its task to emancipate the workers of the entire world. The ranks of the Communist Internationale fraternally unite men of all colors: white, yellow and black—the toilers of the entire world." He then deals with fundamental principles of the whole discussion. Despite this there come to us black men two insistent questions: What is today the right program of socialism? The editor of The Crisis considers himself a Socialist but he does not believe that German State Socialism or the dictatorship of the proletariat are perfect panaces. He believes with most thinking men that the present method of creating, controlling and distributing wealth is desperately wrong; that there must come and is coming a social control of wealth; but he does not know just what form that control is going to take, and he is not prepared to dequalize with Marx or Leine. Further than that, and more fundamental to the duty and outlook of The Crisis, is this question: How far can the colored people of the world, and particularly the Negroes of the United States, trust the working classes? Dr. Du Bois has dug deeply. He has lanced this social, industrial and economic carabine to the bone. It would take a lengthy treatise to answer the questions propounded by him in a few sentences. He says further: Many honest thinking Negroes assume, and Mr. McKay seems to be one of these, that we have only to embrace the working class program to have the working class embrace ours; that we have only to join trade Unionism and Socialism or even Communism, as they are today expounded, to have Union Labor and Socialists and Communists believe and act on the equality of mankind and the abolition of the co or line. The Crisis wishes that this were true, but it is forced to the conclusion that it is not. And again: The American Federation of Labor is representing the trade unions in America, has been grossly unfair and discriminatory toward Negroes and AHL is. American Socialism has discriminated against black folk and before the war was prepared to go further with this discrimination. European Socialism has openly discriminated against Asiaties. Nor is this surprising. Why should we assume on the part of unlettered and suppressed masses of white workers, a clearness of thought, a sense of human brotherhood, that is sadly lacking in the most educated classes? And still again: Our task, therefore, as it seems to The Crisis, is clear: We have to convince the working classes of the world that black men, brown men, and yellow men are human beings and suffer the same discrimination that white workers suffer. We have in addition to this to espouse the cause of the white workers, only being careful that we do not in this way allow them to jeopardize our cause. We must, instance, have bread. If our white low workers drive us out of decent wages even at the price of "biting." It is a nard choice, but who is the blame? Finally despite prejudice and clamour, we should amine with open mind in literature debate and in real life the great programs of social reform that are daily day being put forward. This very able writer conclude his comment as follows: This was the true thought and meeting back of our May editorial. We have an immediate program for Negro emancipation laid down and thought out by the N. A. A. C. P. It is foolish for us to give up this practical program for mirage in Africa by seeking to join a revolution while we do not at present understand. On the other hand, Mr. McKay says, I would be just as foolish for us to sneer or even seem to sneer at the book-tainted writting of hundreds of millions of our whiter human others. We are of the opinion that Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois without giving offense has ably answered his critic. The conditions are tortuous and embarrassing and it is plainly evident that shrewdness, conservatism and a strict regard to the future of a great race of people must be considered in dealing with a situation that puzzles the greatest minds in the world and which would seem to indicate that a divine Hand, unseen and powerful is directing the affairs of men. History repeats itself and a study out past events coming down through the centuries may yet afford a solution of present, day problems. A FINE REPORT We have received a copy of the Eleventh Annual Report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for the year of 1920. It is an exhaustive report and settles beyond the point of public discussion as to the usefulness of this great organization. It is doing a great work, one of inestimable value to the colored people in this country and it should be supported. The present corp of officers are efficient and are waging a fight upon the evils of today in a manner that is creditable and serviceable. The financial reports are disappointing, however and it is surprising that so much work has been accomplished with so little revenue. The receipts for the year were only $41,457.47 forty-one thousand, four hundred and fifty-seven dollars and forty-seven cents, while the expenses were $49,450.79 forty-eight thousand, four hundred and fifty dollars and seventy nive cents. A shortage or loss of (4 393.30) six thousand, nine hundred and ninety three dollars and thir cents. This condition exists too in the face of the fact that there are more than twelve million colored people this country. This is the disheartening part of waging a contest for co-ord follies. When it comes to picnies dances and fine dress, they are mightily in evidence. When it comes to putting up the money to secure for themselves and their offspring fundamentals, they are no' in evidence. The receipts for the year upon the basis of service shown in this report should have been a quarter of a million dollars. We could carry this comparison and comment further, but this report causes us to draw the mantle of charity and we express our regret that the financial showing of this great organization is so disgusting. THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION The Republican State Convention will assemble at Norfolk, Va., this year under the leadership of that able po titian and statesman, Hon. C. Bas com Slemp. Ju t what will be done a this meeting is in the nature of a puzzle, if not a problem. The purpose of the politicians in this State will be to convince the National Republican leaders that a bona fide effort is being made to build up a healthy Republican Party in this State and that it will require the recognition in their entirety of the present Republicx regime in so doing. The intention is to control all of the offices under the present administration and to convince the party management of the country that if the State organization is given a free hand in dealing with local conditions a chance is in sight of carrying Virginia in for the Republican ticket this Fall. If the national Republican leaders after reading the recurs and amalgamating the vote cast here for the presidential candidates can be made to boo have any snake chong then ali will be sent willing for the new round. Russian elements, which now control the destinies of the party in this state. What is interesting us most is the attitude of Hon C. Bascom Siemp co-ords the colored contingent of the Party. Will their rights be recognized to the cities and counties of the state* and at the regular convention at Norfolk? This cannot be answered now but the test can be made before that time. Colored voters of means and respectability joined with the other classes should present themselves for admission to the party councils throughout the State and if denied admission should in a most respectful and dignoble way voice their protest and at the same time organize outside meetings, electing delegations to attend the regular convention at Norfolk. If turned down there, an appeal should be made to the National Republican Committee chairman and to President Warren G. Harding, in order that their status in the Party may be again defined. Independent organizations, right through here will not do unless it is the purpose and the intention of the independent organization to put a ful State ticket in the field as a means of protest. It seems to us that transcendent leadership is needed amongst the colored people at this time; and what is finally agreed upon as a line of action by a majority of the voters freely expressed should be followed out to its logical conclusion by all of us who may have the well-fare of our people at heart. WESTMORELAND CLUB HAS THE MONEY. We have been reliably informed that we were incorrectly informed as to the financial condition of Westmore land Club that the merger program was not offered as a means of afford ing financial relief to this historic and famous organization. Then there was absolutely no good reason for the elimination of this stald old organization as a factor at its present headquarters. To call the Commonwealth Club, the Westmoreland Club would be entirely out of place. It would have been a virtual rape of a name. But the whole affair is none of our business. We justify our comment though upon the ground that everybody seems to be attending to everybody else's business. We shall look with satisfaction though upon the Westmoreland Club's doors swinging outward and inward for the select few. It is a basic reminder of the past and we do not envy the members the satisfaction, which they enjoy there in. The day of the mint julep and the brandy toddy and the Christmas egg nog is gone, but reminiscent talks still remain to the inmates of this stald old land-mark. Selah.

EDITOR WILSON'S VISIT Finley Wilson, Editor of the Bington Eagle, of Washington, . was the guest of the Leal Club day, July 3rd, which was the ion of the club's second annu- ry and Editor Wilson delivered address. The Leal Club is one strongest organizations of its in the state, made up of the business and professional men mano, fifty in all, and they for the civic, moral and betterment of the race and is doing more along this all other organizations of the kind in the city, combined. The anniversary exercises of the club at High Street Baptist Church was all that could be expected. Maj. W. B, F. Crowell was master of ceremonies and opened the meeting with the audience singing, America. Prayer was offered by Rev. M. W. Clair, Jr. Major Crowell then gave a short historic resume of the Lead Club, after which he introduced that sweet singer, Mr. A. P. Holland, who rendered a beautiful solo. Attorney Jacob L. Reid was then presented by the master of ceremonies who in turn and with sequence introduced the speaker of the day, Hon. J. Finley Wilson. Editor Wilson was at his best and after making some witty remarks of his old friends, Toliver and Crowell, and with references to their size, he launched into his subject, The Colored Brother of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. For nearly two hours he held the audience spoolbound with his logic and eloquence. The afternoon was very warm and the church well filled, but all sat through the entire address and only seemed sorry when in a most eloquent oratorical flight Editor Wilson closed his wonderful message to the Leal Club. Miss Lessie Lucas here rendered a solo as only she can. The Elks turned out in a body as did the Boy Scouts. Editor Wilson being a grand officer of the Elks and the first commander of the Washing ton Boy Scouts. The Band was there with plenty music to liven things up for the Elks and Scout Boys. After the meeting closed the Leaf Club had cars in waiting and took their guest out for a drive to the farm of Mr. Jesse Oliver at Holmes, Va., one of the most beautiful farms in Southwest Virginia. Mrs. Oliver served refreshments and the party returned to the city. The Idea Cafe was used as headquarters. After dinner Mr. W. E. Miller and Little Wilkie (W. B. F. C.) took the Editor for another drive in Mr. Miller's car after they had been enable to locate Mr. Toiver. But all that is another subject. Little Wilkie will tell that next week. Editor Wilson spent the night with Mr. Toliver and took the early train for Amherst, Va., where he delivered the Fourth of July address Monday afternoon. Roanoke is always glad to have such men as Editor Wilson and won't be glad to have him come again. The Leal Club will have him and some others come to the city from time to time. The Leal is wide awake to all good things. Watch the Leal. BASEBALL. The Black Sox of Roanoke took two games from the Lexington Giants on the Fourth. The morning game ended 4 to 3 and the afternoon game was 7 to 5. Both games were well played. The teams were evenly matched. The Harrison Stars played two games in South Boston, Va. on the Fourth. The first game was a 14 inning tie—4 to 4 and the second game went to South Boston by the score of 4 to 3. Both games were well contested. The first inter-collegiate program was held at the M.

THREE FOUR THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS The American Negro faces a most peculiar and critical situation in this country; a situation which calls for a careful and painstaking consideration of all the data and phenomena affecting his welfare. It is alarming that the race has no Declaration of Principles, no Race Creed of action, no organized defenses against the widespread discrimination and injustice perpetrated against him daily in his civic, economic and social life. As a result many No groups are without hope, others are becoming discounted and thousands are rapidly turning from the characteristic patience which has hitherto dominated the life of the race. It is difficult for the human mind to imagine anything but disaster to come from such a changing order undirected by safe counsel and same leadership. The situation calls for the united action of the virilio, sane and potent leaders; it renders a challenge to the manhood and womanhood of the race for a national program of con-orted action. The National Race Congress faces the challenge to assemble in Washington, D.C., May 3—6, 1922, the race leaders of America; including labor leaders, lodge leaders, church leaders, leaders of civic organizations, leaders of women's clubs and other race men and women to institute a National Race Policy and to draft a definite aggressive and Nationwide program for the future welfare of our people. Such a united force will be felt—a united Negro voice will be heard. You are urged to be present at this meeting and to take membership with this organization. Will you send me a list of leaders in your community to be invited? Your cooperation and support in every way are very respectfully solicited. yours MARSHALL A. TALLEY, Executive Secretary, 1318 Broad St., Selma, Ala W. H. JEENIGAN, Pres. National Headquarters, Washington, D. C. TULSA DOCTORS RELIEF FUND Next Session Louisville, Kentucky August 28, 23, 25 and 26, 1921 Office of President 1302 South 18th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. June 28, 1921. To the New York Dental and Pharma To the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical profession, of the United States. All of us were horror stricken a few days ago to read accounts of the terrible calefaction that befell the colored citizen of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Indescribable suffering has been, and is being experienced by these victims of mob ruse. Our professional men of Tulsa, from all accounts, were eagerly sought prey of the mob. Dr. Andrew C. Jackson who had been active in local, state and national medical societies was wantonly murdered. The Oklahoma Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association which is affiliated with the National Medical Association has initiated what is known as the Tulsa Doctors Relief Fund. An appeal has been sent out by them requesting every physician, dentist and pharmacist to immediately send a contribution to Dr. Guess, 421 1—2 East Fifth Street, Okmulge, Okla. Dr. Guess is secretary of the State Association. As President of the National Medical Association, I am appealing to the members of the three professions whether members of our Association or not to immediately contribute to the Tulsa Doctors Relief Fund. JOHN P. TURNER President National Medical Association EVANGELIST W. H. SKIPWITH IN BROOKLYN. Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, Howard and Herkimer Streets, Dr. J. W. Haralin, Pastor We are in the midst of one of the greatest revivals it has been our privilege since I have been pastor. The Rev. W. H. Skipwith, D. D., National and International preacher, and singer of Richmond, Va., and exwhere else is with us and well deserves the credit and honor of being the best all around Evangelist of our race. Among the many things to be greatly admired in Dr. Skipwith is, he is not full of self, but meek, unassuming, congenial, plain and practicable in delivering the truth, convincing and persuasive in argument then again he is a great help to a pastor, for twenty years this young, giant has been going over the length and breadth on this country, and I have never heard of him trying to undermine, any pastor out of his church, therefore a pastor can be sick or well, at home or abroad, and feel perfectly satisfied with this man of God, this great evangelist, Dr. Skipwith in his pupil. A man of this kind is worth having brethren. We are having conversions at each service. Baptizing next Sunday. IDEAL NOTES Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master of the National Ideal Society visited Washington District recently to witness the closing of the Membership Campaign. Many members were added to the Order. The Ideals and friends of the East End District turned out in great numbers to the Anniversary Exercises of the Nursery Department, which was held on the second Sunday in June at the 4th Baptist church. The program was an excellent one. The vacant chair and poem, dedicated to our late lamented co-worker and president of the Nursery Department, Mrs. Roca Thompson, deserves special mention. Thompson, deserve special mention. The Ideal Office Force motored to Ellerson, Va., on June 12th to be pressent at the exercises of Guilding Star Nursery No. 1 and Living Beauty No. 113, which were greatly enjoyed by all. The Deputy, Mrs. Mary Liggon deserves great credit for the work, which she is doing in Hanover. The Deputy of the South Side, Mrs. Saille B. Cogbill, held a great children's meeting at the First Baptist church on the 1st Sunday in July. The Satureno Master and others were present and made good talks. The Lodges of Richmond will host their Annual Thanksgiving at the 5th Street Baptist Church on the 3rd Sunday in July at 3:30 P. M. An excellent program is being prepared.

If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essential to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal, the stomach digests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs to properly perform their functions. Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the statements made daily by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby. It is dispensed by all druggists. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA M. S. K. DR. ALBERT A. TENNANT, GRAND MEDICAL REGISTRAR. [Name not provided] Rev. Thomas H. White, Grand Prelate 1 William H.
