Henry W Dem EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS AMPING THE OTHER SIDE OF BALTIMORE—A NIGHT VISTOR —WHITE MEN AND WOMEN—ON THE WAY TO PHILADELPHIA. I had made every effort to leave behmold Thursday afternoon for a trip North, which trip I had schedled would take six days. It was a daylight, July 9th at 10 A.M. My store I found myself ready to leave, though Robinson Davis had been working at 5 o'clock that morning. When I called for Dr. E. R. Peterson at 8 o'clock he complained at he did not know what time I was going. His chauffeur, Ernest illips had been with Robinson since he early morning at 5 o'clock. But even Ernest, he claimed, had not told am. DR. JEFFERSON'S CONDITION Dr. Jefferson were a bath robe which covered a multitude of conditions and he could not get into ear car in the condition of the average Indian chief. I had a notion at it would be necessary for him. I join us by train at Washington, went to my residence. When I turned about three quarters of an hour later, he was ready. I was of ourse erroneously of the opinion at some of his patients were in stent and that he found it more difficult to leave them just at this me than he had anticipated. ON TO WASHINGTON We went out the Hermitage Road and turned into Brok Road, soaking on our way to Washington. We stopped for lunch and after refreshing milk and soft drinks we went down to a repaint, which was potting and nourishing. Asking water the white proprietor of a small store showed us the way a spring which flowed out of rock, a arrived in Frederickburg with it incident and hastened through washington to Baltimore. It was now 7 o'clock and we had a hour more of day and twilight, decided to go into camp. Robinson driven some five miles looking at a place, when I reminded him at the best way was to get out each one of us go into the woods seek a suitable location. FOUND A PLACE I had found a place when I heard call from them to come on the ter side of the road. They had ated a place where parties had moped before. It was so much tter than the place, which I had met that I directed that the car driven in as soon as we could get the wajer. We drove up to a grate at a place known as Indianuck. I purchased butter, eggs and beef' steak. Dr. Jefferson had sented to be chef. We were soon at our camping place. We loaded and the Des Moines tent's soon over the car, the beds for persons ready and a night's rest prospect. NOISES IN THE ROADWAY but Robinson wanted to eat and rest wanted to do the same thing, wanted to sleep, but as they had eggs frying, I went over with the joyity and although I had disrobed shared with the repast. Before it took place and while they were leading the tent, I had heard ses on the roadway, I went out and saw just about 50 yards below sme men and girls. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. Car upper car flashed by, going down the road and from the rays of their head shirts. I could distinguish the rims of two women and I could hear the noise. In the meantime Robinson wrote the assistance of Dr. Jefferson and Ernest were again pitching the test. The prevision off it had failed owing to the fact that they had the wrong side out. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. I returned and in the gloom except for the electric light and the flash light. I looked on in silence. Then I saw through the bushes come one on a motorcycle approaching. The headlight was blinding. The driver turned it into the enclosure where our tent was parked. Dr. Jefferson, Robinson and Ernest were under the tent fixing the belts. The driver of the motorcycle deliberately turned the machine around so the headlight shone squarely in my face. He could see me, but I could not see him. It was pitch dark, not even a star was shining. I looked in his direction. I spoke to him and said, "Good evening, sir." He responded. "We are camping here for the night." I walked to the side of his machine. "What make is your machine?" I asked. "Harley-Davidson," was his reply THAT MYSTERIOUS VISITOR. He had dismounted and he came in front of his own headlight. For the first time I could see him. "What was his mission?" He appeared to be one of the road traffic cops although he displayed no firearms. He was of medium build, white and with a peculiar demeanor. Noting my friendly attitude, he approached clerer and asked, "Have you any women with you?" "No, was my response," "All men." "Well," he said, "you have camped in our place here where we meet the girls. They are out on the road now. I am going down over here further. I'll save my machine here." OTHER FORMS. He fumbled with his machine, put out the lights and went out on the roadway. It was dark. I stood there in the gloom while my berth was being prepared in the Stanley Steam Car. I did not desire to alarm my associates. Then I saw forms flit by that machine, then voices in the woods. Later, I called Dr. Jefferson aside and related to him my experience. He saw the machine in the groom. I went to bed, just as though I was at home, with my revolver within easy reach and slept until I heard the loud noise made by the cranking f that Harley-Davidson machine. I never knew the name of the mysterious visitor. His mission had ended. A CHANGE IN THE NIGHT-TIME I fell asleep again only to be awakened by the coughing of Dr. Jefferson and the stirring of Robinson above, who slept with me in the bed above the seats in the Stanley car. Robinson declared that the heat was so intense that he was wrining wet, while the draught below had caused the coughing from which Dr. Jefferson was suffering. They swapped places and there were no more complaints until the dawn of another day. When I awoke the next morning, I found that Dr. Jefferson was up. He so had the fire burning and then the beef steak was ready and hot tea served. I drank an appetizing cup of the tea before climbing (Continued on Third Page.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921 Nort R. July 16. Death knell of the Negro in Virginia, politically, as for concerns his deliberations in the county of the Republican party and his aspirations for public office, was sounded by the Virginia Republican Convention, according to those from this city who attended the pow wow.

Except to say 'that's fine,' Henry W. Andersen, nominated as the Republican standard bearer this fall, would make no comment on the threat of Joseph R. Pooleard, of Richmond, to call a convention of Negroes in this city on September 5 to nominate candidates for State offices. The platform adopted dee'arsolution of the race question must be by application of moral principles and not by political agitation. CONVENTION IS HARMONIOUS. With the exception of refusal to admit Negro delegates from Richmond and other sections, the convention is said to have been harmonious. The platform was adopted without a dissenting vote and the candidates were at unanimously nominated. Steps looking to formation of a federation of Repub can women' clubs in Virginia were taken yesterday, according to a poll from Norfolk.

Mr. Trotter escorted her to Gore Hall, with Miss Bessie Miller, and when the hostess gave a fake excuse and said she was powerless, all I went over to Mr. Murray. Here ensued an argument of a full half hour between Director Murray, who was "avoiding unpleasantness for the colored girls as some Southern women were students" and Secretary Trotter who insisted race discrimination was not the policy or spirit of Harvard University, and that the girls have their rooms and rights. Finally Trotter prevailed. Miss Roberts was escorted to a single suite in Standish Hall by Secretary Trotter and secured her room.

N. A. A. C. P. ISSUES CALL TO NATION. Twelfth Annual Conference at troit Demands Square Deal for Negro. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published the call to the Nation adopted by resolution at the final meeting of the twelfth annual conference in betroit. The call was presented by Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio Legislature, and read as follows: Call to the Nation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its twelfth annual conference, meeting in this great crisis of the world's reconstruction, would remind the nation that from our very first conference we have planted our agitation and action upon a cateul and thorough investigation of the truth concerning the Negro problem. Often when we have published in our organ, The Crisis, and in letters and articles in the press, our findings and conclusions we have been accused of exaggerating. Today we stand vindicated before the world in the revelations of Georgia, and knowing that Georgia is little, if any, worse than half a dozen other States, we solemnly adjure this nation to give more serious attention and more earnest action to this testering social sore. Lynching and mob violence against Negroes still looms as our most indefensible national crime, and unless the present administration takes early action by legal enactment it will stand condemned of all thoughtful citizens north and south. Increasingly the Negro at Washington, Chicago and Tulsa has been forced to give his life in self-defense. No man can do less for his family and people, and it is a cruel campaign of lying that represents this fight for life as organized aggression. Negroes are not fools. Eleven million poor laborers do not seek war on a hundred million powerful neighbors. But they cannot and will not die without raising a hand when the nation lets its off-sourings and bandits incult, harry, loot and kill them. What is the cause of the new conflict of race in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks, it is increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites, and this arises from the snapping of those human bonds which must exist between neighbors. If the Negro child is not educated; if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publicly insulted by "Jim Crow" cars; if he is treated unjustly in the courts as in the twelve pending Arkansas peonage cases; if in the army and navy the Negro is grossly and continually discriminated against and faces plans for further discrimination in the national guard; if he has no voice in the administration of the law especially as to labor, agriculture and education; and if finally the nation is being honeycombed by secret societies like the Ku Klux Klan, who stir up race hatred by inmuno and appeal to the lowest brute instincts—if all these things are done, how can we help but kill the human sympathy, the spirit of the Prince of Peace, the strong faith and the desire for humble effective co-operation which alone can save civilization? Men and women of America, the program of those who would save America from bitter racial hatred and conflict and murder is short and simple: 1. The right to vote under the same conditions as other persons vote. 2. A federal law against lynching and mob violence. 3. Justice for the convicted peons in Arkansas. 4. Equitable treatment for Negro soldiers and sailors. M K, VA. Governor ine. 6. Free public schools for Negro rebellion. 7. The appointment of an inter-racial commission, of high class, twin-minded men and women representing both races, to make a secretive survey of race relations. 8. The withdrawal of our military forces from Haiti and carefully planned aid for Haiti and Liberia. 9. The weight of our influence to secure justice for the natives of Africa, particularly in the former German colonies. 10. A world-wide attempt to promote peace through inter-racial understanding, and equality, and through a wider recognition of the basic identity of race and labor problems. ```markdown ``` THE LYNCHBURG RECORD FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, 1921 Dear Sir, I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year.

Henry W Dem EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS AMPING THE OTHER SIDE OF BALTIMORE—A NIGHT VISTOR—WHITE MEN AND WOMEN—ON THE WAY TO PHILADELPHIA. I had made every effort to leave Richmond Thursday afternoon for a trip North, which trip I had schedled would take six days. It was afternoon, July 9th at 10 A. M. before I found myself ready to leave, though Robinson Davis had been up working at 5 o'clock that morning. When I called for Dr. E. R. offerson at 8 o'clock he complained that he did not know what time I was going. His chauffeur, Ernest Illups had been with Robinson since he early morning at 5 o'clock. But von Ernest, he claimed, had not told me. DR. JEFFERSON'S CONDITION. Dr. Jefferson wore a bath robe which covered a multitude of coutions and he could not get into at car in the condition of the average Indian chief. I had a notion at it would be necessary for him to join us by train at Washington, went to my residence. When I turned about three-quarters of our later, he was ready, I was of ourse erroneously of the opinion at some of his patients were in instant and that he found it more difficult to leave them just at this me than he had anticipated. ON TO WASHINGTON We went out the Hermitage Road and turned into Brook Road, soon on our way to Washington. We stopped for luncheon and after recharging milk and soft drinks we went down to a repast, which was petizing and nourishing. Asking water the white proprietor of a small store showed us the way a spring which flowed out of rock, we arrived in Fredericksburg with it incident and hastened through washington to Baltimore. It was now 7 o'clock and we had a hour more of day and twilight, decided to go into camp. Robinson driven some five miles looking a place, when I reminded him at the best way was to get out and each one of us go into the woods seek a suitable location. FOUND A PLACE I had found a place when I heard call from them to come on the car side of the road. They had fated a place where parties had napped before. It was so much tter than the place, which I had cected that I directed that the car driven in as soon as we could get the water. We drove up to a roat at a place known as Indian rack. I purchased butter, eggs and beef steak. Dr. Jefferson had asented to be chef. We were soon k at our camping place. We loaded and the Des Moines tent is soon over the car, the beds for persons ready and a night's rest prospect. NOISES IN THE ROADWAY but Robinson wanted to eat and rest wanted to do the same thing, wanted to sleep, but as they had eggs frying, I wont over with the jority and although I had disrobed shared with the repast. Before I took place and while they were leading the tent, I had heard ses on the roadway. I wont out and saw just about 50 yards below some men and girls. They seemed to be enjoying themseyes. Car after car flashed by, going down the road and from the rays of their headlights I could distinguish the forms of two women and I could hear the men. In the menutime Robinson with the assistance of Dr. Jefferson and Ernest were again pitching the test. The previous off at had faked owing to the fact that they had the wrong side out. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE I returned and in the gloom except for the electric light and the flash light, I looked on in silence. Then I saw through the bushes come one on a motorcycle approaching. The headlight was blinding. The driver turned it into the enclosure, where our tent was parked. Dr. Jefferson, Robinson and Ernest were under the tent fixing the beds. The driver of the motorcycle deliberately turned the machine around so the headlight shone squarely in my face. He could see me, but I could not see him. It was pitch dark, not even a star was shining. I looked in his direction. I spoke to him and said, "Good evening, sir." He responded, "We are camping here for the night." I walked to the side of his machine. "What make is your machine?" I asked. "Harley-Davidson," was his reply. THAT MYSTERIOUS VISITOR. He had dismounted and he came in front of his own headlight. For the first time I could see him. "What was his mission?" He appeared to be one of the road traffic cops although he displayed no firearms. He was of medium build, white and with a peculiar demeanor. Noting my friendly attitude, he approached closer and asked. "Have you any women with you?" "No, was my response. "All men." "Well," he said, "you have camped in our place here where we meet the girls. They are out on the road now. I am going down over here further. I'll leave my machine here." OTHER FORMS. He fumbled with his machine, put out the lights and went out on the roadway. It was dark. I stood there in the gloom while my berth was being prepared in the Stanley Steam Car. I did not desire to alarm my associates. Then I saw forms lit by that machine, then voices in the woods. Later, I called Dr. Jefferson aside and related to him my experience. He saw the machine in the gloom. I went to bed, just as though I was at home, with my revolver within easy reach and slept until I heard the loud noise made by the cranking f that Harley-Davidson machine. I never knew the name of the mysterious visitor. His mission had ended. A CHANGE IN THE NIGHT-TIME. I felt asleep again only to be awakened by the coughing of Dr. Jefferson and the stirring of Robinson above, who stept with me in the bed above the seats in the Stanley car. Robinson declared that the heat was so intense that she was wringing wet, while the draught below had caused the coughing from which Dr. Jefferson was suffering.

N. A. A. C. P. ISSUES CALL TO NATION. Twelfth Annual Conference at trot Demands Square Deal for Negro. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published the call to the Nation adopted by resolution at the final meeting of the twelfth annual conference in Detroit. The call was presented by Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio Legislature, and read as follows: Call to the Nation. Clar to the Nation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its twelfth annual conference, meeting in this great crisis of the world's reconstruction, would remind the nation that from our very first conference we have planted our agitation and action upon a careful and thorough investigation of the truth concerning the Negro problem. Often when we have published in our organ, The Crisis, and in letters and articles in the press, our findings and conclusions we have been accused of exaggerating. Today we stand vindicated before the world in the revelations of Georgia, and knowing that Georgia is little, if any, worse than half a dozen other States, we solemnly adjure this nation to give more serious attention and more earnest action to this festering social sore. Lynching and mob violence against Negroes still looms as our most indefensible national crime, and unless the present administration takes early action by legal enactment it will stand condemned of all thoughtful citizens north and south. Increasingly the Negro at Washington, Chicago and Tulsa has been forced to give his life in soft-defense. No man can do less for his family and people, and it is a cruel campaign of lying that represents this fight for life as organized aggression. Negroes are not fools, Eleven million poor laborers do not seek war on a hundred million powerful neighbors. But they cannot and will not die without raising a hand when the nation lets its off-sourcings and bandits insult, harry, loot and kill them. What is the cause of the new conflict of race in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks, it is increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites, and this arises from the 'snapping of those human bonds which must exist between neighbors. If the Negro child is not educated; if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publicly insulted by "Jim Crow" cars; if he is treated unjustly in the courts as in the twelve pending Arkansas peonage cases; if in the army and navy the Negro is grossly and continually discriminated against and faces plans for further discrimination in the national guard; if he has no voice in the administration of the law especially as to labor, agriculture and education; and if finally the nation is being honeycombed by secret societies like the Ku Klux Klan, who stir up race hatred by innuendo and appeal to the lowest brute instincts —if all these things are done, how can we help but kill the human sympathy, the spirit of the Prince of Peace, the strong faith and the desire for humble effective co-operation which alone can save civilization? Men and women of America, the program of those who would save America from bitter racial hatred and conflict and murder is short and simple: 1. The right to vote under the same conditions as other persons vote. 2. A federal law against lynching and mob violence. 3. Justice for the convicted peons in Arkansas. 4. Equitable treatment for Negro soldiers and sailors. PRICE, FIVE CENTS K, VA. Governor 5. Abolition of the "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic. 6. Free public schools for Negro children. 7. The appointment of an interracial commission, of high class, fair-minded men and women representing both races, to make a scientific survey of race relations. 8. The withdrawal of our military forces from Haiti and carefully planned aid for Haiti and Liberia. 9. The weight of our influence to secure justice for the natives of Africa, particularly in the former German colonies. 10. A world-wide attempt to promote peace through inter-racial understanding and equality, and through a wider recognition of the basic identity of race and labor problems. THE LYNCHBURG RECORD FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, 1921. Dear Sir: I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find, according to the records compiled by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, Moorroe N. Work, in charge, that in the first six months of 1921 there were 36 lynchings. This is twenty-four more than the number, twelve, for the first six months of 1920, and seven more than the number, twenty-nine, for the first six months of 1919. Of those lynched, two were whites and thirty-four were Negroes. Two of the latter were women. Eleven of those put to death were charged with the crime of rape. The States in which lynchings occurred and the number in each State are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 9; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES as Year ..... $ 2.00 4x Months ..... 1.40 three Months ..... 1.40 foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.60 SAUTRDAY.....JULY 23, 1921 Dying is easy. It is living that gives the most trouble. We cannot win abusing white folks and abusing each other. Some women are now singing, "Be be be single than be sorry." Going up and coming down is a part of this life's miseries. People patronize grave-yards, only when they are compelled so to do. People, who dodge trouble are the first ones to run into trouble. Be courteous and respectful to white people and to colored people as well. Too many people believe that money was made to spend and not to save Some people are so ill-natured that no one can get along with them. Matrimony has been commercialized and as a result, the divorce courts are being kept busy. If you watch as well as pray, you will be able to keep your garmonts clean. Political organizations are all right, but they must be backed by money. The grave-yard is all right after you get into it and all wrong, before you do the same thing. Self-defense is the first law of nature and colored folks must defend themselves and each other. We cannot hope to succeed, when we fail to bend our efforts towards achieving success. Living wrong and talking right will not get you anywhere in this world or in the world to come. We are glad of one thing in November; the colored folks will have a chance to vote. Stealing automobiles is the latest fad of the white folks. Colored folks should not imitate the bad traits of the white folks. Some women know how to raise children and some others do not know how to raise them and will never learn so to do. President Harding will stand up for the right, even though he is a peace maker. He will appoint colored men to high offices. When colored people learn to support each other many of the present illis from which they suffer will disappear. We should continue to practice politeness and to so conduct ourselves as to be in the respect and good opinion of every body. It is a difficult thing to do right, when well right everybody with whom you come in contact seem to be doing wrong. The South, so far as colored tools are concerned has been transferred north and the weaknesses and foibles went with them. Our friends are sending in their subscriptions and some other friends are sending in new subscribers. We appreciate both favors. If there is anything worse for the Negro than that found in the State Democratic tenets, you can find it in the State Republican platform. Fine dress and high living will keep the pocket book empty, and with this condition of affairs in a h a s ove in a family will "fly out of the window." Gauging white men by the political party to which they belong is a mistake. There are now as many white Democrats friendly towards the Negro as there are white Republicans. The whiskey crusade still occupies the centre of the stage. It is plentiful in this country by she underground route and many of the temperance people are drinking it. The proper place to work a reformation is in the nursery and not in the jails and the penitentiaries. A grown person may profess to have changed on the outside, but nine times out of ten they are the same on the inside. Some women are just "dying" to get a husband, no count or otherwise and when they get one of the no count kind they are just "dying" to get a divorce, but by that time as a rule, the man is gone. In the present State campaign; except for their uniform, their political banners and their party organization, you cannot tell the Republican Party from the Democratic Party. This is a time to discuss policies and principles and not the race or the color of citizens, but the Republic can leaders at Norfolk, Va., did not seem to know this. The "lily-whites" may feel mighty good now, just as the "lily-blacks" feel mighty bad at this same time, but the election day in November will change all of this. Colored folks, do not despair, there are enough white people in this State to deal fairly with the worthy members of the colored race and to accord to them all of their rights and privileges. It may be that you can be a State Democrat and a National Republican. There are many white people, who are State Democrats and National Republicans. Some people cannot stand prosperity. They become boorish, intolerant and insulting as soon as their financial affairs are satisfactory. It would be well always to remember though that there are "no 'pockets in a shroud.' No matter how high you climb, always remember that some time or another you must "climb" down." Should you fail so to do, death will bring you down. This should not deter you from climbing upward. Blessed is the man, who runs a journal for the colored people for he shall live long, fall to achieve financial success and die in sight of the poor house. His blessedness comes in the fact that after he has gotten his share of the hereafter on this side of the river, he is sure to reach Paradise. If the Government of Liberia can fatten on hope and prosper on promises, it will present an appearance of wealth and oppulence, which will arouse the world. From present indications, the Republican candidate for the governorship does not regard either the Constitution of the United States or the Holy Bible. When the people of Virginia, either white or colored elect such a citizen to office, then we have come upon evil times. We would like much to know, who sold the name of "Republican" to the present Democratic organization in this State, which is trying to heat the regular Democratic machine with Hon. Henry W. Anderson as candidate for Governor. The Republican platform says that the personal rights and social integrity of each race must be preserved and respected. This is already being done under a Democratic administration. We want to know about our civil and political rights, which are not being respected. The colored voters of this State have been read out of the Republican Party by the present white management. To just what extent, the present Republican Party will be read out of the coming elections by the Colored voters, the future alone will disclose. ```markdown ``` So far as we are concerned, we are of the opinion that the "lily-whites" are entitled to their show at the polls in November. It is a fact though that the colored people, who go to the polls to vote this Fall will have their votes counted. The Republican platform proceeded to deprecate the raising of the race issue and then proceeded with the task of making the race issue a prominent part of the platform. The wise course to have pursued would have been to follow in the footsteps of the National Republican Party at Chicago, when it remained silent upon the race question. --- If we are correctly informed, Hon. Henry W. Anderson, "the Republican" candidate for Governor is trying to lose a job, which pays him ten thousand dollars per year for another job, which only pays him five thousand dollars per year and he cannot hold both jobs. His candidacy is a joke and his election an impossibility. Colored people, who vote the Democratic ticket this Fall will place themselves outside of the pale of the Republican Party. Those who stay at home or go fishing or hunting even in the winter time will maintain their present party status. It should be remembered that the Slemp organization was recognized' at the National Republican convention at Chicago. Now they propose that women shall wear knickerbockers as a fashion. We cannot see any reasonable objection to this as they are now wearing wet-nigh everything that men possess. We are interested in the fashions, which will cause men to wear dresses. Many of them have already begun the habit "in a small way" of wearing some portions of women's underwear. They began with ladies hose. When some colored folks see some other colored folks achieving success along a particular and special line, instead of wishing them God-speed and helping them, they induce many others to enter the same line of business in order that they may share in this apparent prosperity. The result is that there not being enough of this particular line of business for all, they all lead a life of strenuous inactivity and lack the necessary financial support to make each business a success. We should stop this. RIGHTS DENIED Col. Henry W. Anderson, the Republican candidate for Governor of this State is quoted as saying: It is an essential of free' and efficient government that persons, chosen for or appointed to public offices, should be. those, who are best qualified by character, education and experience to discharge the duties of such offices and are truly representative." This is true. If he had stopped, there, the statement would have been all right. He went on to apply this statement to white people alone. Although sworn to recognize and support, the constitution and laws of the United States, he deliberately violated his oath of office and drew the color-line. How can he be trusted either as a Republican or as a Democrat to carry out the other constitutional provisions to which he must subscribe? We are certainly disappointed that a gentleman of the type an character of Hon. Henry W. Anderson, should sink so low as to deliberately violate an oath solemnly taken by him. COMMON SENSE AT LAST It will be a gratifying source of information to note the revision of the method of dealing with those, who are so unfortunate as to violate the city ordinances relating to traffic. The statement as published is as follows: Complete revision of the method of handling violators of the city's traffic ordinances and which, it is expected, will expedite the trial of the offenders and relieve Police Court of the petty offenses, was announced by Chief of Police C. A. Sherry yesterday. The new method will begin function greatly to the convenience of the government August 1, and is expected to adhere public, as first offenses and minor violations of traffic laws will be given an opportunity to explain their cases at Police Headquarters, and, if satisfactory, will not have to appear in cohrt. All cases not liable to a fine subsequently will be heard at headquarters, the police having in such cases the authority to issue a warning. All cases required to be heard in Police Court, through an arrangement with Justice John Ingram, will be heard on Friday afternoons at 3 o'clock. Chief Sherry grated. The after poon court not only will eliminate a long wait in the courtroom, but also will save much time and expense. Violators, on inauguration of the new order will find a tag tied to their steering wheel with the nature of the offense checked, summoning them to Police Headquarters. This is a long step in the right direction and will tend to popularize the present administration. The onvthing which can be said of the old method is that its enforcement was absolutely impartial. The business man, the professional men, the crooks, the wild-cat chauffeurs were all pr upon the same level. It may have been that females were accorded special privileges, which other drivers of cars did not enjoy, but otherwise, the sun shone with equal severity up on the just and the unjust. This was a military system a rigorous manner of doing business, which was destined to break down. Under this new method, the Police Department' can use its discretion. Je can have an opportunity to separate the "sheep from the goats" so to speak, to accord recognition and encouragement, to those who are endeavoring 'o obey the law and to visit their rigorous displeasure upon those who are continually studying methods to defy and to dishey the law. We be lieve that the new system will prove to be highly beneficial to the city, the Police Department and the citizens. Progress is the watch-word and con mon-sense the key-note. OUTLAWING THE NEGRO We have read with interest the accounts of the meeting of the State Republican Convention in session at Norfolk, Va., July 14, 1921. We are of the opinion that the machinery of the Republican Party in this State has been turned over to the Anti-Negro element of the Democratic Party for use in this campaign with the hope and expectation that by laying stress upon the fact that they have an out and out straight white Republican Party in the State, enough Democratic voters can be induced to cast their lot with the new organization to overthrow the present Democratic machine. Vain hope! On the other hand should they fail so to do, the voting strength displayed would ensure to the present day Republicans sufficient strength to justify these sheming politicians in making demands upon the national administration at Washington. The report states that every colored delegate was debarred from entering the hall where the convention met except two regularly elected with the "lilies whites" from Newport News and one from Hampton, Va. This condition of affairs presents a problem to the Republican colored men of the State. If they are not wanted in the Republican Convention, then their votes are not wanted at the polls. If we can get our leaders to stop talking in public and announcing plans, before the conferences have been held to decide upon a line of action, all will be well. The meaning of all of this is that there is a serious disaffection in the Democratic Party of this State and the Republican management has virtually "sold out" to this dissatisfied element at the expense of the Negroes of the State. There are several courses open to us. One is to nominate a full State ticket, naming one or more white men on the ticket, if they will consent to run. The other is to nominate a ticket with only colored men upon it and the fast method is to consult with the Democratic managers, after their ticket is nominated with a view to ascertaining if they will accept our voting strength and to what extent they will accept our right and privileges under the law. It is plainly evident that Hon. Henry W. Anderson is not particular as to whether he is elected Governor or not. He was recently "elected" by President Harding or by some one else to a ten thousand dollar a year job and the governorship only pays five thousand dollars per year. Under the present conditions, it is plainly evident that no self-respecting citizen of color can support this distinguished Virginian upon his present, anti-Negro platform. The newspaper reports of the convention have this to say. A squad of police, headed by a captain, prevented Negro delegates from entering the convention had. It was made known that orders to bar the colored men were given the police by Republican leaders in charge of the convention arrangements. White Republicans direct white Democratic officers to bar colored Republicans from a Republican meeting and give orders to arrest any on them, who insist upon entering. What will the colored men, who went North and who now are registered voters in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, Indiana and other States say to this treatment of their kindred by Republican leaders, who claim to have received the official sanction of the national Republican organization? It seems to us that our course for the future will shape itself by present developments. We are of the opinion that where one door is closed another door will open. It may be a Democratic door, but it will open just the same. For the present, we must deal with individuals rather than with parties. We have before us the Democratic nominee to be named and the Republican nominee, who is to be named. As to the advisability of naming a ticket, it is a question of cost. Can the necessary money be raised to launch a campaign worthy of the name? When this question is answered, all else is answered. It seems to us that the time of talking is past and the day of action is at hand. Some times, we think that of ninety per cent, of the people of this world, one half of that number is trying to deceive the other half and each half is trying to deceive the other. It is a good rule to think twice before you speak once and with some people, it is advisable to think a half a dozen times before speaking at all. You can climb up a hill and you can slide down, but you cannot slide up a hill and it is not a comfortable feeling to climb down. Some people substitute fine clothes for intellect and then wonder why their popularity is on the wage. You can fool men and women but you cannot deceive either God or the Devil. * Some women were born to remain single and some men were born to live the same way. People, who are always talking about Heaven are not longing to get there. All humbuggery is not to be found in high places. Innocence in children is like the whiteness in a lily. It is pleasant to look upon. We can all do right if we try, but so many of us will not try. Looking sanctified is some people's only asset for right living. ```markdown ``` Beautiful Woodland Cemetery PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW WHEN YOU CAN BUY ON TIME. WHEN DEATH COMES, YOU MUST PAY CASH.

ARTHUR WHITE & FAMILY. MISSIONS PASSED AT N. A. A. C. P. DETROIT CONFERENCE. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today made public the complete text of the resolutions submitted to the twelfth annual conference in Detroit by the resolutions committee and passed in open meeting. The committee was composed of Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio State Legislature; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, George W. Gross, J. D. Moses, Shelby J. Davidson, James Weldon Johnson, George L. Vaughn and E. B. Henderson. The resolutions are as follows: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in annual conference assembled, calls the attention of the nation to Tulsa, Okla. The cause of the riot was an alleged crime which never occurred. The Negroes were not the aggressors save in the sense that they fought to uphold law, prevent lynching, and protect their homes. We do not know what secret organizations may exist in Tulsa among whites or blacks, but we do know that our branches in Oklahoma stand with us for law and order and open legal effort to uplift the Negro and put down the mob. We are glad to commend the splendid action of the governor and the quick measures of local relief; we now urge legal action against the corrupt city government for civil damages in not protecting the law-abiding citizens against riot; and we urge that the State demand the criminal prosecution of the rioters. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People pledges its every effort to secure clemency for the convicted soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now in the Leavenworth prison, and calls the attention of the executive arm of the government to the extinguishing circumstances which provoked their offense. As an association subscribing fully to the principles of law enforcement, we hereby heartily and sincerely commend the activity of the Department of Justice in the investigation and prosecution of poignage cases, and we urge upon Attorney General Daugherty the necessity for continued energetic action, to the end that slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for crime shall disappear forever from the land of the tree. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 397 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four States, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people, strongly endorses House Resolution No. 116, introduced by Congressman Tinkham, asking for an investigation of disfranchisement. A tree and honest ballot is the basis of democracy. And this country owes it to its traditions to stop the "rotten borough" system of the South. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 397 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four States, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people, urges the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives-now in charge of the Dyer anti-lynching bill to expedite this bill and report it favorably to the House. The colored people of the United States demand action and not reasons for delay. If this nation has not the power to stop lynching, it has not the power to exist. The National Association believes that colored men should make every effort to see that colored women register and vote at each election, and conversely, we urge colored women to induce colored men to respect and use their right of franchise. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon President Harding to invite the nations of the world to join the United States in a conference to discuss and adopt methods for world disarmament. The twelfth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to thank the officials and citizens of the city of Detroit for their hospitality; the trustees and pastor of the Second Baptist Church for two of their excellent quarters; the board of education for the use of Central High School auditorium; and the Detroit branch for its thoughtful arrangements. The conference especially appreciates the aid which the colored papers of the country and the colored churches and the pastors have given in making the conference so widely known, thus insuring so great a measure of success. EDITOR MITCHELL'S (Continued from First Page) down from my berth in the Stanley Steam Car. Ernest Biblus assisted him. Finally all ate breakfast, broke camp and went to the store at Indian Rock, Maryland to secure kerosene oil and water. We left for Philadelphia by way of Media, Pa. The roads this way are fine but the steep ascents and descents cause a feeling of unclearness to the driver and the passengers. The failure of the brakes to work means disaster. The rain came down in torrents and this caused a feeling of additional unclearness. Even should the brakes work, the weight of a 3800 pound car would carry both car and passengers down the grade or in a ditch. We were running well when I warned Robinson about the road. We were going down a heavy grade and he put on the brakes. The car skidded almost into a car coming up the hill. The car turned out of the way and by skillful handling the danger was overcome. We had not gone very far when passing a car on the down grade other one was coming up and the two had passed grazed us without injury, to, either, car. This car used us and hen the owner got out some up to us. I did not think we had treated right in not stopping to see if he had been injured. The man was explained. He was sat—and drove on. "Mitchel," said Robinson, "is something the matter with it. It don't run right... I start it full forward: I had my notions about it. The sight feed oil glass had broken and I did not have a new one. I had to make a cover for the space and finally Dr. E. R. Jefferson thought of cutting pieces out of an aluminum cup we had, to take the place of the glass about one inch in diameter. But this did but little good and we had to place a bucket there to catch the oil which flowed on the floor near Robinson and Ernest. We drove on Robinson complained. The car was not putting properly and we had many more steep hills to climb. Just before reaching Media, we came to one of the worst. Here were lines of automobiles. Men were out on the lake dragging it. We learned that a woman bather had been drowned. It was near 12 o'clock that right before it was recovered. JOHN MUTCHELL, JR. ALLEGED KIDAPPING VICTIM HOME UNDER CLOUD FACING CHARGES OF FRAUD. POLICE ASSIST Thomas Randolph Was Registered as Hotel Under Assumed Name at Time Letters Declared He Was Being Hood Ransom. Sharon, Pa., July 20.—Thomas D. Randolph, business man of Sharon, missing since Monday, and for whose return $50,000 ransom was said to have been demanded by alleged detectors, was arrested after his return tonight to the home of his father-Frank Gilbert. He was held without bail on the technical charge of being a suspicious person, it was said. Sharon, Pa., July 20.—Thomas A. Randolph prominent business man here, said to have been kidnapped last Monday night and held for $50,000 ransom, returned to the home of his father-in-law, Boyce Gogie, tonight after a three-day search. A reward of $5,000 had been offered by his father, E. V. Randolph, for his return and the apprehension of his alleged abductor. Randolph was said to be exhausted and a physician was summoned. His father-in-law told police he would go his security for his appearance before local authorities tomorrow. The missing man has not been placed under arrest", but District Attorney L. A. Rickard said that if the police failed to place charges against him he would have Randolph arrested on a charge of blackmail. Postal authorities, after inspecting the letters sent, through Randolph to his wife, one purporting to have been written by his abductors demanding $50,000 are reported to have declared their intention of charging the man with using the malis to defraud. Both Rando'ph's father and his father-in-law declined to comment on his return, and police said some action would be taken, probably to row. According to Lieutenant Speaker of the Sharon police, who went to Stoneboro, near Sharon this afternoon, Randolph has been living at a hotel there since Monday night registered under the name of R. P. Hutchinson. He was accompanied by a woman, Speak er said, and added that the manager of the hotel told him that Randolph left Stoneboro last night and returned about 1:33 this morning, which, he deferred would account for the missing man's appearance in Franklin from which pie he tailed to his wife. The manager said also, Speaker asserted, Randolph had placed a woman, on a train for Pittsburgh this morning and left Stoneboro himself this afternoon. THREE MORE TARRED IN TEXAS Plumber Twice is Vivet of Maskee, Men—Ex-Service Man Is Abducted One Man Being Held and Other Arrests Expected in Tyler—Lufkin Man is Dealt With Roughly Ly Members of Gang. Nacogloches, Texas, July 20.—J. W. McKnight, a plumber, was twice a vit tim of masked parties it became known today when he returned to his home after a second flogging. Masked men took him from deputy sheriffs last night near Timpson, stripped and beat him and smoaked tar on his cloth ing. McKnight was beaten by maskers early Sunday and had gone to Center, Texas, and fled a complaint against four men whom he declared he recognized as among his assailants. Then he was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon and it was while he was in custody last night that he was taken by the second party of masked men.

S EDUCATION FINISHING COMPANY, 503 N. AND S. 'Phone, Kandolph 6168 Church Supplies, Sunday School Lates THRE FOUR ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., July 19. —There passed away at her home in this city yesterday an aged woman, 'Aunt Mary' who represented the ante-bodin type. Aunt Mary was well in the eighties. She served the Norfolk and Western faithfully at the passenger station ever since there has been a station here and even before that she ran on the trains. Aunt Mary was matron at the station but she was more than that—she was a veritable institution and when the faithful service retired her on pension several years ago, all felt that they had lost a friend. Her honesty was beyond question. There was about her a gentle, unassuming dignity that was the last word in effectiveness. She died July 6 and her remains were shipped to Lynchburg for interment, accompanied by relatives and friends. She will long live in the memory of the people of Roanoke. The funeral services of Mr. Doctor Edwards took place at the First Baptist Church, July 10. He was a citizen of Roanoke before it was an incorporated city. He was sexton for many of the burial parks and for many years had been a member of the First Baptist Church. Rev. W. W. Hicks officiated in a very approprate manner. He leaves to mourn their loss two daughters, two sons one brother and a host of friends. The daughters are Mrs. James Barow of Chestnut Avenue and Mrs. Eta Hackley of Fifth Avenue, with whom he spent his last days. Mr. Joseph Edwards of Charleston, W. Va, and Boston Edwards of Roanoke are the sons. Prof. D. W. Harth made some remarks. Mrs. Lucy Stratton sang a sweet solo. Interment was in the First Baptist Burial Park, C. C. Williams officiating. Mrs. M. H. Diamond, Miss N. Mae Woolridge, of Natural Bridge, Va. were the guest of Rev. and Mrs. P. G. Gravety during the series of the District Convention. They returned Monday. Mrs. Lula Johnson who has been indisposed for ten days, is much im proved, at 33 Jordan's Alley. Rev. W. E. Lee, pastor of the High Street Baptist Church preached to his people and the visitors attenting the Convention from the text found in St. John 17:17. A very representative number of the teachers attending the Summer Normal, worshipped at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday morning, at which time Dr. Hatcher delivered a very instructive and helpful sermon Rev. Hatcher preached at Rocky Mount Sunday night, assisting the pastor in a rally. A large excursion went to Rocky Mount Sunday. Some failed to get back on time. You may judge the rest. Mrs. Mary Smith and her little adopted daughter are in the city this week from Mullins, W. Va. They are returning from an extended trip to Pittsburgh. They are stopping with Mrs. Rosa Broadnax, 807 Norfolk Avenue, S. W. There was a serious and tragic accident here Sunday evening in which one young girl was killed when an automobile turned over, killing Miss Earl Finney, of Fairfax Avenue, N. W. Other occupants of the car were injured. The young son of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson of 11 Lynchburg Avenue was seriously hurt and the sister of Miss Finney was slightly bruised. The funeral of the victim took place Wednesday. H. T. Pogue, the shoe maker and polished shoe repoiler is at his job on Gainsboro Avenue, training some of the small boys of the race to han do machinery and fit themselves for use. Mr. Harris is on the corner of Sixth and Gainsboro to furnish you with the right foods at the right figure. Polite service guaranteed. Call when warm, hungry or thirsty for something cool. The tithors at Mt. Zion gave $72 last Sabbath. The total collection for the day was $112, for which the trustees and pastor feel very grateful. The District Sunday School Convention was held here last week at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which Rev. J. W. Hicks is pastor. The Summer Normal is in session in the Gainsboro School with a very large attendance. Remember M.
