JONES AND PARTY INJURED Dr. Miles B. Jones is now in Rhineland Hospital. Entering with a broken or fractured dislocated right hip, and with a strained left hip, as a result of a terrible accident on the OoN Nations Road, thirty-five miles east of Cumberland, Maryland, while en route to attend a meeting of the National Medical Association which convened August 23, 1921 at Louisville Kentucky. The accident occurred Tuesday evening, August 16th just as the sun was beating itself behind the western hills, Chauffeur Robert H. Battle was at the wheel of Dr. Jones's Ford Sedan while Dr. Jones wife, Mrs. M. Janie Jones, Miss Viola Lucas and Mrs. Carrie S. Brown were also passengers. THREE INJUREE Mrs. Curve S. Brown has a sprunged wrist and minor bruises. Mrs. Jones has a facerated arm in many minor bruises over her body. She is well-nightly incapacitated. Battle was thrown through the window and is cut about the face and hands. Miss Vola B. Lucas, who resides with Dr. Jones and wife escaped without injury, Editor John Mitchell, Jr. called at the Richmond Hospital cast Monday and after waiting a while after asking for the chief nurse, received a message to come upstairs as Dr. M. B. Jones wanted to see him. Quickly mounting the stairway, he found the veteran, physician and surgeon in bed and with all of the modern conveniences. He was entirely comfortable and smiled with pleasure at his greeting. NEAR CUMBERLAND In reply to queries, Dr. M. B. Jones stated: "This accident occurred Tuesday evening just about dusk. We were about 35 miles from Cumberland Maryland and had reached the top of the Appalachian Mountain, where they sell postcards and the like. With me were Dr. Wm. H. Dix on and his wife of Fulton. We had passed through Washington and had gotten that far, I was thinking of camping for the night, but finding out that Cumberland was only about thirty-five miles. I was of the opinion that we could make it in about two hours and so I decided to go on I of the party all the way. Dr. Mote M. Lewis and his chauffeur were also in the party. Just before leaving the top of the mountain. I saw sign which warned motorists to cut off their intention and throw their cars in low gear going down the long descents of the mountain. It also told about the number of curves. Dr. Dixon started out ahead of me. RUNNING IN LOW GEAR My chauffeur threw the car in law, but evidently failed to car out the intention. We had not gone far, when he exclaimed, 'Doctor, I can't hold this car! It is getting away from me, I called to Dixon, but I don't supposed he could hear me, to get out of the way. My car bumped into his car, with out doing his car any material damage. This checked my descent and then it struck him again. He crowded his car to one side. On the right hand side was a deep precipice. To have gone over this meant instant death for the entire party. I was told after wards that a man had his head cut off as his car went over that same precipice. The chauffeur was helpless. The only thing to do was to run the car into the banks on the left. It went into a telegraph post breaking it in two and jammed the car into the mountain side. The rat'ator was completely wrecked. CROWDED WITH MOTORISTS This roady-way is a regular high way and is crowded with bears. They came to my relief. When they attempted ed to take me out, I could not move. I was lifted out. The agony was excruciating. An officer in a morto cycle with a side seat, told them to wait until he called an ambulance from the top of the mountain. He could not get any connection. He drove to Cumberland, a distance of thirty-five miles and returned with the ambulance into which they placed me. The white people were very kind. One party with a Packard went back with me and they took my party and the luggage and carried it to Cumberland THE TRANSFORMATION BEFORE ELECTION AFTER-ELECTION OUR LAW RECONNIZES NO CLASS, NO GROUP, NO SECTION- JUSTICE FOR ALL I AM RESOLVED TO DISCRIMINATE NEWORIES IN SOUTHERN POLITICS THEREBY ABROADING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS HARDING HARDING W. C. Cock They would not hear of accepting com- pensation for the service. I was cared to the hospital there. Leroy Ed- mundo who was, a barber here at one time came to see me and explained to them, who I was. BETWEEN TWO DEAD PODIES The surgeons examined me and took an N ray of the fracture. I was placed on the opera sing table and the bonset. Leroy saw that they had me placed next to the kitchen and he went to the Mayor and he sent orders to place me in a room on the third floor. There was but one room vacant and it was said that I was the first cooled patient to occupy a place on their floor. I wanted to start for home, but they operated on me Wednesday awa. I was permitted to leave Friday morning at 10:25 by the B. and O. I was placed in the burgage car. On one side of me was a dead body in a box on a little further down they put on another box containing a dead body. I had one of these, on one side and THE TRANS BEFORE ELECTION OUR LAW RE NO GLASS NO SECTION JUSTICE-10-14 I AM F DISCR IN SUFF THERE CONST WARDING the other one on the other." Dr. Jog- mitted as he said this. AT HOME AGAIN "We arrived in Richmond, Friday, 19 h inst., at 6 P. M. I was brought here and I have been resting quietly ever since. As soon as I stretched out after the accident, I got some relief and after I was operated upon I felt much better." This ended the story and I remarked that he bore a charmed life. He was of the opinion that Miss Viola was entiled to that disicer a car. We had a recollection of Joanes having seen in three mobile wrecks including this one in one of them, there was apprehension that he would not live. Now, he was a paent in his own hospital, there ful and patient, but anxious for time to come, where he could again take up the work of his large practice and be himself again. Calling on Mrs. Carrie S. Brown at 816 N. Third street her husband I. Mr. Claude C. Brown came to 'door and ushered Editor Mitchell to her bed-room. She had contracted a severe cold as a result of her thrilling experience. She spoke cheerfully and said: "We left Richmond Monday morning and had gotten to the top of the mountain and started down, when the car was going fast and Mrs. Jones asked Robert, if he could stop the car and he said he could not. He ran into a telegraph pole to keep from going over the precipice. The White people were very kind to us. I was slightly injured, but my math trouble is from a cold that I got as a result of the exposure." ESCAPE FROM DEATH I congratulated her upon her escape from death and left her to the kind ministrations of her husband. Calling at the residence of Dr. Mike B. Jones, Mrs Viola Lucas answered the doorbell and lacer Contractor Boyd entered. Mrs. Jones was reported as not feeling well and so罗伯特 H. Battle, the chauffeur was summoned.

Two hundred ministers from fourteen conferences attended. The expenses were met by the Southern Methodist Board of Missions. PRESIDENT HARDING AND THE COLORED BROTHER. Mr. Warren G. Harding, President of the United States is purported to have delivered his ultima utopia on two office holding status of the co-founder man in the South. This action on his part has stirred the wrath of the co-founder voter especially in the South. It is well to note in the outset that this indignation against Mr. Harding is justified, viewed, from any source. Such wholesale discrimination against a race excludes all tests of efficiency, character and personal worth. It indicates that the president in making political appointments will be directed more by color of the applicant than by his general tenure, for the office. This is predicating government upon race rather than upon principle. This concept of government is contrary to Declaration of Independence which recognizes the equality of men before the law; also the fundamental teaching of the founders for whom Harding claims so much ove and devotion. Such a position is contrary to the requirements of a democracy and should be beneath the vision of a man in so lotty and all important place as the presidency of the nation. Mr. Harding has broken faith with the colored man and hence, serving consure. He promised the colored group at clear and unimilious terms his deserved rights and just considerations. His campaign took tolliznize of the colored vote. The Nation! Committee created the position of co'ored campaign manager and all through the campaign he functioned as one of the directors of Mr. Harding's political fortunes. To this the president did not object. Once he is in these things are brushed aside. He forgets too, the memorable day, when taking oath of office with hand on that Scripture which reads: "What more doth the Lord require of the than to be justly. Hive humbly and walk uprightly." This act of the president is sufficient in itself to teach the colored group that political nomenclature has but little to do with justice and principle. Men not parties provide the basic ground of justice, fair treatment, equal opportunity. The republican party, like any other, will do but so much. The co'ored man must work for those things that count for most in the line of his development. With him rests his future and he, more than any one else, can make it count for wear or woe. lynchburg, Va., Christian Appeal ) --- MARRIED IN OLD NEW YORK The many friends of Miss Zelma Hall of this city were greatly surprised when the nwes reached her home town that she had led to the hymnical altar, Mr. Harold Proctor, formerly of this city. The occasion took place Wednesday, the 17 h in New York city where Miss Hall was visiting relatives and friends. The bride is the young accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hail, of 2300 Old Dominion street South Richmond. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Proctor, of Mayo's Town. He served overseas and is now teaching the Government Instruction School in New York. The happy couple has the best wishes of their many friends on their matrimonial journey A PECULIAR ACCIDENT A singular and peculiar accident occurred at Evergreen Cemetery Saturday afternoon August 21st, Mr. L. D Young's wife died at 1418 W. Leah street and the funeral took place on the Moore Street Baptist Church with Funeral Director C. P. Hayes in charge of the remains. Upon reaching the cemetery, the side boards or planks were in position, but one of them broke, causing the earth to cave and precipitating the casket with end up into the grave, together with the war corps. Work was at once begun to get the pill bearers and the casket out. The management quickly remedied the horrifying happening and the interment was completed satisfactorily. --- Alabama is providing six summer schools for her colored public school teachers and has a total attendance upon them of 1,300 men and women. The State appropriates $10,000 yearly for county training schools and supervisory work, in addition to the lower appropriations of the counties themselves and aid from other sources. There is a pronounced tendency to lengthen the term of the colored schools, and to increase salaries. A new training school has just been rejected with the leading white business men of the community behind it. PRICE, FIVE CENTS President Warren G. Harding was elected by such an overwhelming majority that he don't have to bide his tongue and he can speak as he feels, and after all it is much better to be undertook than it is to live on table hopes. While the Colorist vote in the South has never amounted to any thing when it came to electing Presidents, Iaws a ways a big factor in nominating them, but of late years that power has been curtailed to a great degree, and now the President closes books and diaries, their future opeges to be winds. The President says that if the Negro receives the conditions of political office in the South he must line up under the leadership of the lily whites and so for himself. This might, however, to our minds prove a booming for new alliances in the South might come to pass where in this power to vote will be freely given and cast not for the lily whites but for the progressive party other than the Republican party, and if this should happen the gains which he Republican party would make as a result of its bid for the support of the South, would be like the "proto plasm in the sea" and the North (the doubled State thereof) coming back into normal conditions, would most surely as a result of this disaffection of the Negro vote be found lining up with other than the Republican party. At all hazards, the President's words are for fetched. COLLEGE STUDENTS VISIT THE NEGRO SCHOOLS. Williamsburg, Va., Just before commencement this year forty-five members of the senior class of the history William and Mary College special a day at Hampton Institute, after the guidance of Dr. Bennett, head of the department of education at the college. The party was received by Dr. Gregg, the president of Hampton and were shown both the class room and industrial work. There was applable discussion, by members of "bobin races, of various aspects or race relations, and of the Negro's educational needs." This visit was made in accordance with a precedent set at William and Mary some years ago. Visits to colored schools are also made by professors and students at Peabody College for Teachers, in Nashville, Tenn. From what can be gathered of the results in these cases it seems probable that the practice will spread to older institutions where students are being trained for public school work and superintendency. --- INTERRACTAL CAMPAIGN TO ADD COLORED GIRLS --- COLUMBIA, S. C.—The committees of white and of colored men now formed in fifty South Carolina counties have jointly taken up the work of providing for the Fairwold Industrial School for delinquent colored girls. This school, the only one in the state of this class, was founded by the colored women's clubs of South Carolina with the active encouragement of secretary of the State Board of Public Welfare. The colored woman have now supported the school for two years and hope so to demonstrate its usefulness that it will eventually be taken over by the state, as was done by Virginia in a like case. Meanwhile it has done such good work that friends of both races have determined to set it firmly upon its feet. The Inter Racial committees have undertaken to raise $20,000 for permanent improvements and running expenses. This sum has been apportioned among the county committees, and in some instances the quota has already been exceeded. This school gives Instruction for the grades, and teaches home industries, including hauling and gardening. Mr. Williams, secretary of the Board of Public Welfare in an open letter, commends the work done as "exceptionally fine," stresses the importance of such an institution and gives official support to the campaign for funds. --- Savannah, Ga., has a colored officer on its juvenile court to look after the colored children brought before it. The white Social Service Federation maintains a worker among the colored population; and the white school attendance officers work equally among the children of both races. The city provides a colored home demobilization agent* and the county maintains a farm demonstration agent for work in the outlying districts.

Brown has a sprained wrist and minor bruises. Mrs. Jeneca has a lacerated arm an many minor bruises over her body. She is welcoming totally incapacitated. Battle was thrown through the window and is cut about the face and hands. Miss Viola B. Lacase, who resides with Dr. Jones and wife escaped without injury. Editor John Mitchell, Jr. called at the Richmond Hospital cast Monday and after waiting a while after asking for the chief nurse, received a messages to come upstairs as Dr. M. B. Jones wanted to see him. Quickly mounting the stairway, he found the veteran physician and surgeon in bed and with all of the modern conveniences. He was entirely comfortable and smiled with pleasure at his greeting. NEAR CUMBERLAND In reply to queries, Dr. M. B. Jones stated:—"This accident occurred Tuesday evening just about dusk. We were about 35 miles from Cumberland Maryland and had reached the top of the Appalachian Mountains, where they sell post-cards and the like. With me were Dr. Wm. H. Dix on and his wife of Fulton. We had passed through Washington and had gotten that far. I was thinking of camping for the night, but finding out that Cumberland was only about thirty-five miles. I was of the opinion that we could make it in about two hours and so I decided to go on. I led the party all the way. Dr. Moten M. Lewis and his chauffeur were also in the party. Just before leaving the top of the mountain, I saw sign which warned motorists to cut off the ignition and throw their cars in low gear going down the long descents of the mountain. It also told about the number of curves. Dr. Dixon started out ahead of me. RUNNING IN LOW GEAR My chauffeur threw the car in low, but evidently failed to cus out the ignition. We had not gone far, when he exclaimed, 'Doctor, I can't hold this car! It is getting away from me.' I called to Dixon, but I don't supposed he could hear me, to get out of the way. My car humped into his car, with out doing his car any material damage. This checked my descent and then it struck him again. He crowded his car to one side. On the right hand side was a deep precipice. To have gone over this meant instant death for the entire party. I was told after wards that a man had his head cut off as his car went over that same precipice. The chauffeur was helpless. The only thing to do was to run the car into the banks on the left. It went into a telegraph pole breaking it in two and jammed the car into the mountain side. The ratfactor was completely wrecked. CROWDED WITH MOTORISTS This roady-way is a regular high way and is crowded with leases. They come to my relief. When they attempted ed to take me out, I could not move. I was lifted out. The agony was excruciating. An officer in a mortorycycle with a side seat, told them to wait until he called an ambulance from the top of the mountain. He could not get any connection. He drove to Cumberland, a distance of thirty-five miles and returned with the ambulance. Into which they placed me. The white people were very kind. One party with a Packard went back with me and they took my party and the luggage and carried it to Cumberland.

I was carried to the hospital there. Leroy Edmunds who was a barber here at one time came to see me and explained to them, who I was. BETWEEN TWO DEAD BODIES The surgeons examined me and took an X-ray of the fracture. I was placed on the operating table and the bones set. Leroy saw that they had me placed next to the kitchen and he went to the Mayor and he sent orders to place me in a room on the third floor. There was but one room vacant and it was said that I was the first colored patient to occupy a place on the floor. I wanted to start for home, but they operated on me Wednesday and I was permitted to leave Friday morning at 10:25 by the B. and O. I was placed in the baggage car. On one side of me was a dead body in a box and a little further down they put on another box containing a dead body. I had one of these on one side and THE TRANS BEFORE ELECTION OUR LAW REQUIRES NO CLASSIFICATION NO SECTION JUSTICE-STAND I AM RIGHT DISGRACE INSULT THERE CONST WARDING the other one on the other." Dr. Jon's smiled as he said this. AT HOME AGAIN "We arrived in Richmond, Friday, 19th inst., at 6 P. M. I was brought here and I have been resting quiet ever since. As soon as I stretched out after the accident, I got some relief and after I was operated upon I foit much better." This ended the story and I remarked that he bore a charmed life. He was of the opinion that Miss Viola was entitled to that dislike a car. We had a recollection of Dr Jones, having near in three automobile wrecks including this one. In one of them, there was apprehension that he would not live. Now, he was a patient in his own hospital, their ful and patient, but anxious for the time to come, where he could again take up the work of his large practice and he himself again. Calling on Mrs. Carrie S. Brown at 816 N. Third street her husband, Mr. Claude C. Brown came to the door und ushered Editor Mitchell p to her bed-room. She had contracted a severe cold as a result of her thrilling experience. She spoke cheerfully and said: "We left Richmond Monday morning and had gotten to the top of the mountain and started down, when the car 'was going fast and Mrs. Jones asked Robert if he could stop the car and he said he could not. He ran into a telegraph pole to keep from going over the preopice. The White people were very kind to us. I was slightly injured, but my main trouble is from a cold that I got as a result of the exposure." ESCAPE FROM DEATH I congratulated her upon her escape from death and left her to the kind ministrations of her husband. Calling at the residence of Dr. Miles B. Jones, Miss Vina Lucas answered the door-bell and later Contractor Boyd entered. Mrs. Jones was reported as not feeling well and so Roher H. Battle, the chauffeur was summoned. He came in with two or three bandages on his face, but smiling, while his hand appeared to have been (Continued on Fourth Page) PERSONALS AND BRIEFS —Dr. J. H.

Alexander of Atlanta, director of the Inter-Racial Commission was in charge; and the courses were given by leading men of the two churches white and colored. Two hundred ministers from fourteen conferences attended. The expenses were met by the Southern Methodist Board of Missions. PRESIDENT HARDING AND THE COLORED BROTHER. Mr. Warren G. Harding, President of the United States is purported to have delivered his ultimatum on the office-holding status of the colored man in the South. This action on his part has stirred the wrath of the colored voter especially in the South. It is well to note in the outset that this indignation against Mr. Harding is justified, viewed from any angle. Such wholesale discrimination against a race excludes all tests of efficiency, character and personal worth. It in diates that the president in making political appointments will be directed more by color of the applicant than by his general fitness for the office. This is predicating government upon race rather than upon principle. This concept of government is contrary to Declaration of Independence which recognizes the equality of men before the law; also the fundamental teaching of the founders for whom Mr. Harding claims so much love and devotion. Such a position is contrary to the requirements of a democracy and should be beneath the vision of a man in so lofty and all important place as the presidency of the nation. Mr. Harding has broken faith with with the colored man and hence deserving consure. He promised the colored group in clear and unmistaking terms his deserved rights and just considerations. His campaign took full cognizance of the colored vote. The National Committee created the position of colored campaign manager and all through the campaign he functioned as one of the directors of Mr. Harding's political fortunes. To this the president did not object. Once he is in these things are brushed aside. He forgets too, the memorable day, when taking oath of office with hand on that Scripture which reads: "What more doth the Lord require of the then to be justly, live humbly and walk uprightly." This act of the president is sufficient in itself to teach the colored group that political nomenclature has but little to do with justice and principle. Men not parties provide the back ground of justice, fair treatment and equal opportunity. The republican party, like any other, will do but, so much, the colored man must work for those things that count for mode in the line of his development. With him rests his future and he, more than any one else, can make it count for weal or woe. (Lynchburg, Va., Christian Appeal) MARRIED IN OLD NEW YORK The many friends of Miss Zelma Hall of this city were greatly surprised when the nwes reached her home town that she had fed to the hymenal altar, Mr. Harold Proctor, formerly of this city. The occasion took place Wednesday, the 17th in New York city where Miss Hall was visiting relatives and friends. The bride is the young, accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hall, of 2300 Old Dominion street South Richmond. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Proctor, of Mayo's Town. He served overseas and is now attending the Government Instruction School in New York. The happy couple has the best wishes of their many friends on their matrimonial journey. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT A singular and peculiar accident occurred at Evergreen Cemetery Sunday afternoon. August 21st, Mr. J. D Young's wife died at 1418 W. Leich street and the funeral took place from the Moore Street Baptist Church with Funeral Director C. P. Hayes in charge of the remains. Upon reaching the cemetery, the side boards or planks were in position, but one of them broke, causing the earth to cave and precipitating the casket with end up into the grave, together with the nail carers. Work was at once begun to get the pall-bearers and the casket out. The management quickly remedied the horrifying happening and the interment was completed satisfactorily. Alabama is providing six summer schools for her colored public school teachers, and has a total attendance, upon them, of 1,300 men and women. The State appropriates $10,000 yearly for county training schools and supervisory work. In addition to the larger appropriations of the counties themselves and aid from other sources. There is a pronounced tendency to lengthen the term of the colored schools, and to increase salaries. A new training school has just been projected with the leading white business men of the community behind it. PRICE, FIVE CENTS PRESIDENT HARDING'S STAND President Warren G. Harding was elected by such an overwhelming majority that he don't have to bite his tongue, and he can speak as he heels, and after all it is much better to be understood than it is to live on false hopes. While the Colored vote in the South has never amounted to anything when it came to electing Presidents, itaws always a big factor in nominating them, but of late years that power has been curtailed to a great degree, and now the President closes books and dashes their future hope to the winds. The President says that if the Negro receives the enrolments of political office in the South he must use up under the leadership of the lily-wites and go for himself. This might, however, to our minds prove a boomerang for new alignments in the South might come to pass wherein this power to vote will be freely given and cast not for the lily whites but for the Republican party, and if this should happen, the gains which he Republican party would make as a result of its bid for the support of the South, would be like the "proto plasm in the sea" and the North (the doubtful State therefor.) coming back to normal conditions, would most surely as a result of this disaffection of the Negro vote he found lining up with other than the Republican party. At all hazards, the President's words are far fetched. (Los Angeles California Eagle.) Williamsburg, Va.—Just before commencement this year forty-five members of the senior class of the historic William and Mary College spent a day at Hampton Institute, under the guidance of Dr. Bennett, head of the department of education at the college. The party was received by Dr. Gregg, the president of Hampton and were shown both the class room and industrial work. There was simple discussion, by members of both races, of various aspects of race relations, and of the Negro's educational needs. This visit was made in accordance with a precedent set at William and Mary some years ago. Visits to colored schools are also made by professors and students at Peabody College for Teachers, in Nashville, Tenn. From what can be gathered of the results in these cases it seems probable that the practice will spread to other institutions where students are being trained for public school work and superintendency. INTERRACTAL CAMPAIGN TO ADD COLORED GIRLS. Columbia, S. C.,—The committees of white and of colored men now formed in fifty 'South Carolina' counties have jointly taken up the work of providing for the Fairwold Industrial School for delinquent colored girls. This school, the only one in the state of this class, was founded by the colored women's clubs of South Carolina with the active encouragement of secretary [of the State Board of Public Welfare. The colored women have now supported the school for two years and hope so to demonstrate its usefulness that it will eventually be taken over by the state, as was done by Virginia in a like case. Mean while it has done such good work that friends of both races have deterred to set it firmly upon its feet. The Inter-Racial committees have undertaken to raise $20,000 for permanent improvements and running expenses. This sum has been appropriated among the county committees, and in some instances the quota has already been exceeded. This school gives instruction in the grades, and teaches home industries, including hauling and gardening. Mr. Williams, secretary of the Board of Public Welfare in an open letter, commends the work done as "exceptionally fine," stresses the importance of such an institution and gives official support to the campaign for funds. Savannah, Ga., has a colored officer in its juvenile court to look after the colored children, brought before it. The white Social Service Federation maintains a worker among the colored population; and the white school attendance officers work equally among the children of both races. The city provides a colored home demonstration agent; and the county maintains a farm demonstration agent for work in the outlying districts. --- published Every Saturday by John Mitchell, Jr., at 811 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES at Year ..... $ 2.00 at Months ..... 1.20 at Weeks ..... .00 at Sign Subscriptions ..... 2.00 SATURDAY.....AUGUST 20, 1921 Deception is ninety per cent of some people's lives. Persons, who are easily led are easily bended. There is an end to every thing, even to a law-suit. Before acting upon important matters always count the cost. Colored folks are still like the white folks. They are killing each other. People who will not stand up and contend for their rights do not deserve to have any rights. Lynching goes up and down. Sometimes, there is more of it and some other times, there is loss. Virginians, know what they want and they have a way of saying just that they want, too. It is a long way across the American continent, but it is a longer way around the world. A race journal is all right with some of our readers until they are required to pay for it. Then it is all wrong. Colored folks have their tights and snowboards, just like other people, but latency they have been mostly shadows Right principles cannot be compromised although minor privileges may be yielded, without particular damage. Colored folks like politics, just as ducks like the water. As for the white folks, they were virtually born in that element. --- Losing time by some people is like losing money, while with some others it is only a method of whiting away laziness. Argument is all right, when you have a fair conservative person, with whom to argue or a fair tribunal be fore which to appear. Persons, who worry about other folks slandering and misrepresenting them will not sleep much at night. Do right and fear not. Now comes Attorney William H. Lewis with the coined expression, "White makes right" as against the one "Might makes Right." Personally he does not believe in either. Some of the western colored folks confess themselves by declaring that they do not believe that President Harding declared that he would not let colored men hold public office in this Southland. We wish to God that we could believe the same thing. The political situation in Virginia is one of transcendent interest. Hon. Henry W. Anderson of Richmond has been nominated for Governor by a white Republican State Convention at Norfolk, Va., in which no coloree man was permitted uninterruptedly to participate. The Democratic State organization, through its primary system nominated Hon. E. Lee Trinkle of Wytheville for Governor and tace issues are plainly, drawn. Col. Anderson and his associates have chosen to stand upon a platform denying to colored citizens the right of franchise. --- There is no longer any doubt in our minds that the statements attributed to President Warren G. Harding, the distinguished occupant of the White House were substantially correct, even though the words were not literally the ones uttered by him. The cause of the "about face" movement on his part is one of the wonders of the century, although there are Ohioans, who are saying that his present attitude is no surprise to them. THE LYNCHING QUESTION Hon. Harry C. Smith, the Ohio leader is waging a ceaseless war against the advocates of federal legislation against lynching. We must admit that we do not just now understand h's attitude. We cannot see the wisdom of antagonizing those who would peace upon the federal statute books a statute to eliminate the crowning infamy of the age. Editor Smith argues that the Congress is not the legislative body to deal with this evil and that the enactment of such a law will be futile and unconstitutional. In some respects, we agree with him. But the beneficial results to be secured by centering public attention upon this system of lawlessness will be worth all that it costs. Moreover, if it is unconstitutional and of no effect in law, we can see no reason for any of its opposers to continue their opposition. There are no many unconstitutional laws now being placed upon the statute books of the country, noticeably those affecting private rights and personal liberty that the enactment of another one against Lynching should occasion no surprise. We know that the Smith Antt-Lynching Bill, now in force in Ohio is a model of its kind and should be upon the statute books of every State in this country, but this should not deter us from endeavoring to secure the incorporation of a similar measure as a part of the United States Statutes and enforceable by the federal courts. It seems that the judicial department of this government is under distress relative to fundamental questions and that it hesitates to express an opinion in cases where the masses have shown a radical opposition to the measure. As the sentiment of the country, now seems to be against lynching it may be that this August tribunal may engage in another decade of evasion should this unconstitutional anti-lynching measure be passed by the Congress and be the subject for court action immediately thereafter. It would be well though for all of our leaders, in order to "play safe" to start an agitation in each State to have enacted by the respective State legislatures a duplicate of the Harry C. Smith Anti-lynching law, now up on the statute books of Ohio. This distinguished Ohioan has no copyright upon the measure and will send all a copy of his journal containing this remarkable enactment without making any charge whatever for his services in so doing. This last statement is a presumption upon our part and if it is incorrect, we 'stand to issue an apology and to make a correction in our next or any future edition of this publication. THE NEWS FLATTERED The New York Amsterdam News. one of the brightest and best race publications in the country has this to say about the Planet: It is said that imitation is one of the sincerest forms of flattery. This being true there is no better proof to cite than that of one newspaper copying from the other. The Richmond Planet, published by John Mitchel, at Richmond, Va., under date of August 13th copies in detail four articles from the New York Amsterdam News without giving the paper one mention. On Wednesday August 3rd the Amsterdam News had on the front page four articles among many others "Democratic Organization Gave 11 Colored cops" "Garveyites in Grand Parade" "Protest to Weeks Against Color Bar" "First Colored Man to Fly Over City." The Planet published in detail each of the four referred to above and in two cases gave the New York Age, credit for them. Doubless they were used by the Planet because of a shortage of news, but there are those who think that southern newspapers in many cases are far behind the times, when it takes news more than two weeks old and insert it as current events. We endeavor to credit news items taken from other papers, where they are original and we regret that we made the mistake of crediting any of these communications to the News THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA arch enemy, the New York Age. We are making the correction with pleasure and we are heartily gratified to know that the News accepted our publication of items from its newsy columns with such an explanation. Yes, the News is flattered by our copying from its teeming columns. We shall endeavor to be more careful next time. WHAT PRESIDENT HARDING SAID After a careful investigation, there is no longer any doubt in our mind that President Warren G. Harding said substantially, but not in the act language; just what he was quoted as saying. That is to say, he gave the delegation that waited on him to understand that the day of appointing colored men to prominent public offices in the southern States had passed and such appointments, if made must come through the recommendation of southern white men, who as Republicans had an antipathy to the Negroes, but who would now be given a free hand in dealing with the black Republicans and the old line white Republicans, who had co operated and affiliated with them. He also took the position that it is now time for a new manner and method in dealing with the embarrassing southern question in its relationship with the hundreds of southern white Democrats, who had become dissatisfied with Democratic party management and who were clamoring for official leadership in the ranks of the party now led by the distinguished Ohioan. In doing this and in taking this position, it was necessary for President Harding to turn his back upon the fundamental principles of the Republican Party, discard fundamental right principles and to sacrifice the teachings of half a century in order to bring about a changed condition in the Southland, which he had been finally convinced would result in an improved condition for the white and colored people of this section of the country. It is but fair to state that he did not take this course of action with a feeling of hatred or antagonism to the colored people, better known as Negroes of this same section, but believed that along these new lines, his course would be justified and executed by the results obtained. It was in this spirit that he used the expression, "This is my policy and I am going to follow it, live or die, sink or swim." Under this ruling and decision colored citizens must accept his plan and follow the white men, who do not believe that Negroes are entitled to their civil and political rights under the Constitution of the United States and they should be content with their lot and condition, serve in mental capacities and be content to take such recognition as their duly appointed white leaders shall give them. It is a duplication of the policy of white officers for Negro troops in the army. The only difference is that same condition is applied to private life. We are frank to say that we believe that President Harding failed to hear argument on both sides of this question and thereby became as blamed in rendering his decision as the other side seems to have been in presenting their argument. The trouble in this country is that practically everybody is permitted to speak for the Negro, but the Negro himself. He is denied representation both in the legislatures the House of Representatives and in the United States Senate. Now he is denied recognition in the councils of the Chief Executive of the Nation. He is denied representation upon the National Republican Committee by the recommendations being made to Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson that he resign from the Committee as the representative from a State that is hopelessly Democratic and which will remain in that condition one hundred years after the present distinguished occupant of the White House has been gathered into the arms of his ancestors in that great and better land. When the Negroes were admitted to citizenship, the rights of the citizen came to him and his right to be the sole judge of who should lead him was recognized. We know by the teachings of history coming down through centuries of experience, that you cannot forsake the fundamental paths of Christianity and the sign-posts of right principles, without paying the penalty that is, falling in the attempt and earning the contempt and derision of right-thinking people everywhere. There are times, when these "short cuts" to success seem to be the best way and when the tempting voices of the people at one's elbow, seem to point out the way, but far in the distance, far and above them all, like the North Star are the teachings of the philosophers of the past and the direct injunction of the Master Talmud's telling and warning us of all of these things. Nations and their leaders have chosen other advice, dynasties have grown up and reached their pristined splendor and then in the moment of their bewilderment have list enced to the voice of the tempter, followed the paths and adopted the policies he outlined and then gone down to rise no more. After reading President Harding's prosecution deliverances, which were gems of their kind, we were unwilling to believe that he would or could forsake the fundamental principles of the Republic itself to the extent of disregarding the consent of the governed in the matter of leadership and instead of calling a meeting of the recognized Republican electorate in Georgia to select successors to alleged discredited leaders, appoint such leaders through a "hand-picked" selected row and recognize them in the matter of Federal appointees in the aforesaid State. This was putting the colored people and the old line white Republicans in the same category as the residents of the Spanish Islands, which came to us on this side of the Atlantic and on the other side of the Pacific. The subject is distressing. What is the matter with President Warren G. Harding? THE REGULAR REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION IN GEORGIA The regular Republican organization of Georgia embraces a membership, the members of which are not as big fools as some people seem to take them to be. The Atlanta Independent in discussing the situation says: The republican party must not be held responsible for the mistake of its President until the party goes on record as approving his blunder. The rape of the organization's rights in Georgia must be charged to the administration at Washington and not to the republican organization in America. This is the proper position to take for the Republican National Convention went on record in direct opposition to the position taken by its own Committee in particular and the President in particular when it seated: Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson as a national committeeman. And again: Meanwhile the Georgia organization which was outlawed by the President through carpet baggers Miller and Keeling, will continue to function just as if nothing had happened. Questions settled wrong are not settled at all. The only way to settle a question is to settle it right. No same man would consider for a moment the conduct of the President's agents in Georgia as recognition of the prizefights of fair play and justice. And st!! again: The Independent, took the position before the rump committee met that the things advertised as the President's southern policy as it affected Georgia might be done, but if it were done, it would not be regular. The republican organization of our state will rest its case upon the title of regularity given it at the last. Republican National Convention. This position is "sound to the core" and if followed must necessarily result in having this fundamental question settled by the great Republican Party itself. We would warn our Southern friends, though against using hush or indiscretion language concerning the Chief Executive of the Nation. He evidently believes at this time that he is doing the best thing for the colored people, while it is our opinion that he is doing the worst. Time will demonstrate that he is mistaken and when he is convinced, we are of the opinion that he will "about face" in this matter, more quickly than he did in making this same military movement a few months ago. Still, well nigh irreparable damage shall have been done by that time. Certain it is, the regular Republican or organization of Georgia should continue to function until its rights are recognized. The Republican people of Georgia created it and the same people will take care of and support the organization, which they created. REPUBLICANS TO MEET A mass Republican Convention has been called to meet in this city, Monday September 5, 1921 for the purpose of taking into consideration the nomination of a Republican ticket and the naming of candidates for all State Offices. This is a time for mature consideration in this matter. The Republican organization led by Hon. C. Bascom Slemp for the first time in the history of the Republican Party has seen fit to draw the color line, ignore the rank and file of colored citizens and deny to them voice and vote in a Republican Convention, after having been elected thereo by the Republican electorate of the State. This has been done in direct violation of the fundamental principles of the Republican Party. If the colored Republicans nominate a ticket, it will have the tendency to draw the colored vote from the recognized Republican organization and leave the white elements in the State to fight the question of office out among themselves. It will also give the white Republicans the recognition at Washington which they already possess, for this recognition was virtually guaranteed before the campaign had begun. Can the interests of the colored Republican voters and those of the old line white republicans be best promoted by this? This is a question to be passed up on and decided at this meeting of the Republicans, who for a decade have cast their support for the Party, of human right's and fundamental principles. Citizens, regardless of race, color or religious convictions should constitute this issue carefully and decide to do all in their power to register their protest against this crowning political outrage of the century, the denial of civil and political rights to an electorate that has stood by the regular republican organization through the stormiest period of its existence, inspired only by God-like principles and not for a moment impelled onward by softness. ANOTHER MOVEMENT Mr. Francis Wells, President of the Blaine Invincible Republican Club of Washington, in a circular letter declares that colored people are not getting as much protection today from the Government as we did thirty years ago. There is a reason. He is calling for a meeting of a Convention to be held in Washington, D. C., November, 30 1921 for the purpose of electing 435 District organizers, whose duty it will be to organize their district and elect men to go to the American Congress and who will stand for the protection of the American Negro. Mr. Wells believes that unless we get together the 14th, 15th, and 16th Amendments to the Constitution will be repealed. Jim Crow Car Law and Mob Violence will continue to growfinally will become prevalent in every State in the Union. The call affords food for thought and time for reflection. What are we to do about it? PROF. KERLIN'S DISMISSAL The standard of intelligence is being steadily lowered and the spirit of intolerance steadily intensified if we are to judge by the unfortunate action of the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va., when the aforesaid body, in session in this city summarily removed Colonel Robert T. Kerlin from the faculty for sending a letter to the Governor of Arkansas protesting against the execution of colored men for participating in the Elaine riots in that State. While Col. Kerlin goes, his salary for the remainder of the term for which he was employed goes with him and he will be carefree for that length of time with the privilege of pursuing his researches. Colonet Kerlin cannot be charged with having northern sympathies for, he is "to the manor born," having sympathies entirely southern and being imbued with that innate spirit of justice for which the old "D. F. Vs." were noted. A southern white man, like the cavaliers of old and the knights errant of England have the courage of their convictions and are outspoken both in words, manner and thought. It is to be regretted that the present day antipathy to the Negro should have crept in this great institution. Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. Stonewall Jackson, Gen. Jubal Early and Gen. William Mahone were virginians of this type. In taking this action, the Board of Visitors have injured themselves and elevated the distinguished member of the faculty, who was the object of the venom of the Chief Executive of Arkansas. Certainly, the Governor of Arkansas had much influence in bringing about this removal and it is evident that he views with grim satisfaction the result of his work. He is in the Political world, while Prof. Kerlin is in the ethical and economic atmosphere, inspired by those Godly teachings, which have made men martyrs, while at the same time sending their names, venerated and adored ringing down the ages. Well says a writer a writer A man is thought a knave or fool. A bigot plotting crime. Who, for the advancement of his race Is wiser than is time. For him, the hemlock shall distill. For him, the axe be bared. For him, the gibbet shall be built. For him, the stake prepared. Him shall the scorn and wrath of men Pursue with deadly aim, And malice, envy, spite and lies Shall desecrate his name. But truth shall conquer at the last As round and round we run; And ever the right comes uppermost And ever is Justice done. ```markdown ``` Read The Planet for information concerning the world's "doings" and watch our advertisements.

PELVQ MEDICINE CO., MEMPHIS, TENN. ANTI-TUBERCOLOIS WORK IN ATIANTA. The Atlan'A Anti-Tuberculosis Association was one of the pioneers of the South in cooperative work with color people. As a result of faithful and persistent effort on both sides one of the most thorough city organizations of cooled people in the country has been built up and educational and protective work is carried on the year round. The recent annual Clean-up Week showed the standing of the colored organization with the white community. The Chamber of Commerce sent a representative to help plan the campaign with the officers o the Association and representatives of the Life-insurance companies, the Urban League, the colored committee who had charge of the actual work, the Ministerial Alliance and the Negro colleges and teachers. The Chamber of Commerce acquired the use of motion pictures showing the possibilities of children's work in beautifying a city. This was shown in churches and schools to 2,400 colored children Over 5,000 homes and 23,000 people were visited and given instructions, literature and posters. A sanitary survey of the colored districts was made to be followed by a concerted effort to secure needed improvements from the city. Twenty streets are reported improved since last year's campaign in addition to two sowers put in and two streets paved. Many private improvements have gone in—reprints, painting, sewerage, etc. The quality of the colored committee's work may be judged from the fact that every house reported insanitary last year was found in satisfactory shape this year. The City Federation of Clubs composed of leading white women, was so impressed by the result's secured that a full report of the colored women's work was read at their regu lar meeting.

Wind Damages Camp John E. Lewis in Big Night Storm—Many Tents Are Blown Down and Flooded. Some of the biggest legislative questions the Knights of Pythias have ever failed will come up at this convention, according to R. H. Wade, secretary of the Grand Lodge entertainment com- mittee. The Supreme Lodge, which meets at the State House decides all these questions of legislation. At the session yesterday morning thirty delegates received degrees and were admitted to the Grand Lodge. Only a limited number of delegates are allowed from each State. CELEBRATE MARDI GRAS The big event planned for yesterday the grand patriotic mardi gras and hallowe'en parade was called off on account of the rain. The camp at the fair ground was a mochive of action at midnight last night. Water was from two to four feet deep in the lower sections of the camp. Onl ay few tents were not surrounded by water. Colored women holding their skirts above their knees were wading out of the vortable river. Men with trunks on their shoulders were making a direct line for higher ground. When asked where they were going, they said, "we dunno mister, we dunno." GENERAL JACKSON MAROONED. Gen. R. R. Jackson, was marooned in his tent. Water surrounded and covered the floor to a depth of two feet. He had no way to escape, except by the undignified method of wading. All buildings near the fair grounds were crowded with the wet, soaking delegates. Many more stood on the outside of the buildings unable to gain admittance. Everywhere councils of war were being held between two three, four, or half a dozen individuals. They were in a strange place and had no place to go. And the rain beat unmercifully down. DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO "I dunnno, I dunnno, where to go," seemed to be the "general phrase. Faxis were called and hauled the trunks to a dry place. Everybody was wushing to and fro. The water was up to a level with the top of their pots in their tents. And it seemed determined to stay there the rest of the night. General Jackson, who is generally able to combat all foes was unable to cope with this one. It was every man or himself. Several tents had been knocked over by the wind arecompanying the rain and this added to the general excitement. PARADERS ARE DRENCHED The first act of the rain was torench those who started in theprado last night, and cause them toall off the ball. They got back toamp the best they cof'd and go toted. Then the angry waters camemushing in and threatened to coverthem and they had to get up. The watercontinuer to rise and they had toseek higher ground. They could not leave their trunksto be spotted, so these had to be taken along. So they waded out andmadeor higher ground. And, all the whilethe drizzly downpour added to the discomfort. LEEPLESS, RESTLESS AND WET At midnight the prospects were that they would have to remain outside all the rest of the night sleepless, resilient at enjoying it all as a great adventure, something a little different than they were accustomed to at home. The chief event today will be the meeting of the Supreme Lodge and Supreme Court at the State House. Supreme Lodge representatives from two thirds of the States of the union are here for the convention ROW IN THE LODGE. sousouri K. of P. Not Allowed to Sit in at Sosston. N SUIT THEY CLAIM TO HAVE RE FUSED A TAX BURDEN Alleging that it has been denied presentation in the Supreme Lodge ow in session in Topeka, the Missouri Grand Lodge of the Knights of Othias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia today turned to the Shawne county district court for relief. Judge George H. Whitcomb issued restraining order to prevent S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor, and all a officers and agents, from interfering with the Missouri delegates sitting the Supreme Lodge sessions. Theearing for a permanent injunction be held Friday. The trouble in said to have started on the Supreme Lodge sought to collect an additional tax from the deletes for the purpose of erecting a new sanatorium at Chicago. It also right to compel the subordinate digs to buy stock in the project, it claimed. When the Missouri lodge used to "come across," its delegate were unsated. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor; W. Johnson T. A. Curtis and J. D. dxton, delegates from the Missouri and Lodge to the Supreme Lodge invention, brought the case on be of the Missouri lodge. The attorneys for the plaintiffs are Robert B. Barkus, Grand Chancellor of the state Ohio; S. A. Knox Grand Attorney Missouri and Elisha Scott a Toppe attorney and member of the Kane Lodge. HAVE PAID "LEGAL DUES." The Missouri delegates assert that w have compelled in every way with the constitution and by-laws of the organization and have paid all legal dues and assessments and taut the action of the Supreme Lodge officers in unseating them is in bad faith, oppressive, unwarranted, unreasonable and in violation of the Knights of Pythias constitution, and in effect depriving them of their property with out due process of law, as they have paid several thousands dollars in dues into the Supreme lodge treasury. The restraining orders were served on Chancellor Green and his officers this morning by Oscar Carlson, under sheriff. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, ed. Missouri and his representatives did not have the pass word at the opening of the Supreme lodge. Tuesday morning it is caimed by the lodge. The deputy sheriff appeared at the time the Supreme Chancellor was delivered his message and (the Supreme Attorney, S. A. T.

SEIZED LIQUOR PROBE BEGUN BY DAUGHERTY Attorney-General Starts Investigation Into Disposal of Alcoholic Beverages Washington, Aug. 16.—Attorney-General Daugherty has started an investigation to learn what becomes of liquor seized by government officials. In reviewing many prohibition cases which come to his desk, Mr. Daugherty said tiday he had begun tiw der what became of the vast quantities of alcoholic beverages seized by the government in the prosecution of bootleggers. While it was the department's duty to attend to the prosecution of liquor law violations, he declared he had become interested in the possibility of putting condemned liquors to some practical use, and at the same time to save the heavy ware house bills. Seized liquors, Mr. Daugherty said could be disposed of for nonbeverage purposes to hospitals or the alcohol might be abstracted and used commercially. Mr. Daugherty said he did not know how much liquor was stored by the government in different places, though it has been reported there were supplies valued at between $50,000 and $90,000,000 at nonbeverage prices in New York City alone. Attention was directed by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes today to the practice of certain proprietors of bonded warehouses and bonded store rooms of removing wine from their bonded premises for the use of them selves and their families without permits and for beverage purposes. In a letter to all Federa' agents, he declared that all such offenses would be severely dealt with in the future. --- SPEED LAW VIOLATORS MUST GIVE BOND. Princes Anne Court Takes Action Against, Reckless Use of Roads. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 16.—Judge B. D. White of the Circuit Court has told magistrates in Princes Anne County to require a bond of $250.00 from offenders fined for exceeding the speed limit. The bond will be required of offenders on other roads in the county as well as the recently completed concrete highway to Virginia Beach. The aim in view in requiring bond is that the offense of speeding will not be repeated is said to be the belief that a single does not always impress the motor car driver sufficiently to make him remember not to violate the law again. If after the one offense he is placed on der bond, the number of second offenses, it is believed will be small and the evil of speeding consequently reduced. LONG STRETCH OF CONCRETE On account of the fact that the Virginia Beach Boulevard is the longest single stretch of concrete road in the state and that it bears a heavy traffic of pleasure cars and trucks, there has been much discussion of the measures necessary to prevent speeding. In addition to the officers in Norfolk and Princess Anne Counties, the State Highway Commission has detailed A. H. Bosher as a traffic inspector for the road with authority concurrent with that of the county officers. TARRED AND FEATHERED. Farmer Found on Road Several Miles North of New Carlisle, Ind. South Bend, Ind., Aug. 13.—Albert Kreiger a farmer living several miles north of New Carlisle, Ind., was tarried and feathered Friday night and left on a road in Michigan just over the Indiana-Michigan state line. He was found about 2 o'clock this morning and said his assailants were dressed in white. Kreiger added that the party consisted of eighteen men all of whom traveled in automobiles. He was arrested Thursday accused of pouring carbolic acid on his wife. He previously had been arrested for wife meeting. George Bridgemen, sheriff of Berren county, Michigan is investigating. The members of the mob are said to have mobilized at Glendora, Michigan. The victim was taken back to his home by the authorities.

Chicago, Aug. 14.—Whisky is being sold today across 3,500 bars in Chicago in addition to the vast amount that is being peddled in bottles, jugs and gasoline cans by waiters, taxicab drivers and porters—a great motley army of retail bootleggers. An analysis of the wet situation here, based on direct investigation and interviews with John K. Kjefander the new Federal Prohibition Inspector for Illinois, shows three out standing obstacles in the way of an immediate tightening of enforcement by the Volstead law. BE EFFICIENT AND SUCCESS BE AN AFFECTIVE EXCELLENCE PREPARED SPECIAL WE are ready to double our Hairdressers organize the new THE EXCELLENCE Most Thorough There is First is the clogged condition of the Courts, in which 2000 bootfewing cases are pending in Chicago alone. When new arrests are made the offenders are released on bond and frequently continue their criminal operations pending the indefinite date of trial. Second is the limited field force of the Federal prohibition office here. The Director has only 17 men on his Chicago "blotter squad" and only 19 men in the whole state. RED TAPE BLOCKS ARRESTS Third is the red tape surrounding the procedure by which arrests can be made. Numerous other obstacles have to be combatted, including public indictference, the tendency of many persons, even including jurors to treat prohibition lightly and the widespread evil of prescription forgeries. Director Kjelander is making an intelligent and aggressive fight. The District Attorney's office is rendering valuable aid. The police are giving co-operation, although with them prohibition enforcement is necessarily only an incident detail of their manifold duties. But the Counts are clogged, the dockets are jammed, the Judges cannot reach the cases on the calendar, and when, they do the juries frequently fall down. We are doing our best in spite of all this, said Director Kjelander today, and we are nabbing a great many lawbreakers. However, it isn't a simple process. We may be morally certain, for instance, that a certain saloon is selling whisky. But before doing anything we have to send a man to 'make a buy' Then we have to go to the Dis trict Attorney and get a search warrant before we can go back and raid the place. Think of the time that the elapses and the possibility that the saloon keeper has been tipped off and has hidden or removed a1 evidence before we can get back. OREDIENCE IS DEMANDED "The Courts have held that this is the law, and we probably would get into trouble if we made a raid with out the search warrant even if we saw the liquor standing on the bar. In one place my agents did setze whisky without a search warrant and when the case came to trial the Judge forced us to give it back to the boot legger because we had acted without first complying with the strict letter of the law. Where does the bootleg whisky in Chicago come from? It is much the same as in the o'her big wet centers. Some of it 's distilled illicitly, but the great bulk is colored and flavored alcohol or real whisky removed by crooked means from bonded warehouses. A favorite method is the staging of real or fake "theft's" while the stuff is in transit from one warehouse to another. The wholesale owner applies for permission to move his liquor. Under the law he has a right to move it once. He puts up a bond of $2.20 a gallon and ships it off either by railway or truck. The liquor disappears en route. It is reported to be "stolen." The agents may be morally sure that the owner knows exactly what becomes of it and has been compensated fully at high bootleg prices, but it is not impossible to catch a man in such a transaction and no penalty can be inflicted except forfeiture of the small bond. WARDING AGAINST "THEFTS." The Federal Bureau now is taking precaution, against these "thefts" by arming men with pistols or rifles and having them guard the liquor in cran sit. Most of the fake whisky manufactured from alcohol here is traceable back to the same god who that have been exposed by this series in other cities—bootleggers who disguise their operations as the manufacturers of extracts, patent medicines and toilet preparations. In this city there are plumbers, blacksmiths, chaufferes, barbers, mew from every conceivable trade, who suddenly have become "manufacturers" of hair tonics or other preparations/containing alcohol. Of course the Government keeps a checked record of all the alcohol they buy, but, if they wish to be crooked and falsify their books it is extremely difficult to keep track of what they afterwards do with it. Many of them as a result, mix the alcohol with water, flavoring and coloring and bootleg it as first-class whisky. This is the kind of stuff fliw which strangers pay 50 cents or 70 cents a drink over the bars here. There is some real, bonded goods, obtained from warehouses or smugged in from Canada, but it is kept for special patrons. Real beer, containing from 3 per cent to 5 per cent alcohol also is widely on sale here. It would take more than 100 agents to keep these violations alone in hand. Most Chicago brewers are doing an honest business manufacturing "near beers," containing less than one half of one per cent alcohol. But many are vioating the law. They make some beer that comes wits in the law and some that does not. They mix it together in shipments, according to pre-arranged understandings with patrons. To keep this red beer entirely out of circulation, agents would have to stop every truck in transit and "sample" practically every separate case or barrel. BE EFFICIENT AND SUCCESSFUL MRS. W. H.

Employment of Colonel Karlin Terminated When He Refused to Stop Down. MAKE RESOLUTIONS PUBLIC Concants of Paper Divurged After Voll of Secrecy Had Been Thrown Around Conference of V. M. I. Board of Visitors. Resolutions adopted by the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, dismissing from the faculty Professor Robert T. Karlin, were made public yesterday after a veil o. secrecy had been thrown around the board's conference and action for several days. Professor Karlin, as was stated in The Times Dispatch yesterday morning, wrote an open letter to the Governor of Arkansas, protesting against the imposition of the death sentences upon Negroes who participated in the Elaine riots. This action, the board held, was detrimental to the good of the institution, the faculty of which Professor Karlin was a member. The resolutions follow: "Whereas, it is the opinion of the board that Colonel Kardin, by reason of his interposition in the Maine inurrection cases as exemplified by his letter to the Governor of Arkansas, reflecting upon the administration of justice in that State and those upon whom the solemn duty rots of enforcing the laws therein—in which connection the board has considered his general activities in interracial matters—has rendered his further connection with the Virginia Military Institute undesirable, and his retention of professorship, instead of promoting the beneficial ends for which the institute was established would prove harmful and detrimental there to and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct and management and prejudicial to the interests which it is their duty to guard and protect; "Therefore, he it resolved That the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute are unanimously of the opinion that the usefulness of Colonel Robert T. Karlin at the Virginia Military Institute has ceased, and that his further connection there with as professor would fe detrimental to its welfare, and, therefore, his immediate resignation is hereby requested and the secretary is requested to forthwith hand to Colonel Karlin in a copy of this resolution." Subsequently the following resolutin was adopted: "Wherecas, Colonel Karlin has replied to the aforesaid resolution by refusing to resign, as therein requested, therefore his employment as professor at the Virginia Military Institute is hereby immediately terminated, his salary nevertheless, to be paid him until January 1, 1922, or until such time prior thereafter as he shall have accepted other employment." (Signed) "LEWIS E. STEELE." "Secretary of the Board" It is understood that Professor Karr Il was very popular with the cadet body at V. M. I., and many will reg ret his dismissal. He has been in structor in English at V. M. I. stare 1910. He was born in 1866. He held a M. A. from Central College, Missouri and also studied at John Hopkins University University of Chicago, Harvard University and a Ph. D., from Yale, '06. He served as a Methodist minister from 1895 to 1898 and was a chaplain in the Third Regiment, Missouri Vol unteers in the Spanish-American War. He is the author of "Mainly for Myself," "Camp Life of the Third Regiment," The Church of the Fathers," "The Voice of the Negro" and several other books and is also secretary of the Virginia Society for the Advance- ment of Education. PROFESSOR KARLIN DECIMEL OPPORTUNITY TO RESIGN. Lexington, Va., Aug. 23.—Colonel Robert T. Karlin told newspaper men here today that the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute had dismissed him from the faculty after giving him an opportunity to resign, which he declined. Colonel Karlin said he made a statement before the board review. Gornet Kairn said he made a statement before the board review- activities in inter-racial matters in which he said his who's object was to promote such racial adjustments as would secure to both races the fullest measure of prosperity and happiness. General Edward W. Nichols head of the institute, declined to discuss the matter which was said to have been an outgrowth of a letter written by Professor Kairn to Governor Mc Rae of Arkansas relative to the Elaine riots and the trial of Negroes who participated in the outbreak there." (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, August 24, 1921.) DR. JONES AND (Continued from First Page.) cut. He said: "We left Richmond Monday August 15th at about 10:10 that morning. When we got in Ginger Park, we lost about an hour or more trying to fix the generator on our car, but finally I cut this out as it affected only the light and we went on. LEADINm ALL THE WAY We got to Washington about 8 o'clock that night, possibly later and we had arranged to leave there Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, but it was about 10:30 when we left there. We had gotten fo the top lof the mountain, which is eight miles from Hia cock and 27 miles from Cumberland. I was leading all the way. When I started out down the mountain I went rather slowly and Dr. Dixon kept on ahead of me. The car was not running right. I struck him two or three times, before he finally got out of the way. The mountain side was on the left of me and the precipice on the right. Just beyond was an oblow curve. I found out by the speedometer that the car was running about 35 miles per hour and then at times 40 miles. HIT THE BARREL I had the emergency brake in and was holding it jammed with the same leg that I was pressing down upon the low gear pedal. I found that the foot brake was not checking the car at all and I decided to scrape the side of the mountain with the hope that this would check the speed of the car but this did no good. I saw a barrel on the side of the road and I went in to that. This splintered the barrel, but it did not seem to check the speed of the car. There was a slight curve in the road, where I hit the barrel. Then I saw a telegraph pole and I thought the best, thing to do would be to run the car into that. I knew that we would be injured but I thought this better than being killed so I went into that. THROUGH THE WIND-SHIELD I went through the wind shield. I was cut and soon after I stood up, I knew nothing mire. There was a garage about three miles below and also a repair shop and I left the car there. It is there now. I came home Sunday. Upon questioning him, he stated that the car was not over-hauled before it left Richmond. It was working all right and the brakes were working all right. He was of the opinion that cutting out the ignition would not have helped matters. He said that just before he went into the barrel he pushed in the reverse. It checked the car just slightly and then it raced as before. He declared that he knew that he could not make that elbow curve just below with the car going at that speed. This ended the interview and a few moments later the editor was again at the Planet Office. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES. To the Y. M. C. A.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today announced the above as its slogan in the fight to have the Dyer-anti-Lynching bill enacted into law by the United States Congress. A statement issued from the Association today and signed by James Weldon Johnson, calls upon colored people throughout the country to watch their representatives and senators. Mr. Johnson's statement reads as follows: "The Department of Justice has gone on record in an opinion delivered by Judge Goff saying that the Dyer anti-Lynching bill was constitutional. There is no longer any excuse why any representative of the American people should oppose a measure designed to end such a monstrous evil as mob murder. Every vote against the Dyer bill in the House of Representatives or in the Senate is a vote for lynching. Every representative and every senator who dares to oppose this bill ought to be listed by colored voters throughout the United States and placed on record. The states have shown they cannot or will not stop lynching. The federal government should now act. The Dyer bill gives the government the necessary authorization to act. It is up to every colored man and woman in the United States to see to it that the Dyer bill is passed and that the name of every man in Congress who opposes that bill is put on record. A constant fire of telegrams and letters should be directed at your Congressmen so that they know with out any shadow of doubt that their constituents want the bill passed."

The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan a Georgia corporation, was admitted to transact its business in the State of Indiana Saturday. Its Indiana head quarters are at 447 Lemuel Annex Indianapolis and are in the charge of Charles W. Love. Admittance to Indiana of foreign coporations is permitted by law if the corporation complies with certain requirements laid down for operation in this state. Certificates are issued to companies so qualifying by the secretary of state. Colored Masons in session at Marion sent to Governor McCray a protest against permitting the knights to do business in Indiana. Papers filed with the secretary of state say that the organization is "a patriotic fraternal order with no insurance or beneficiary features, designed to teach and inculcate among its membership greater respect for the Stars and Stripes and Constitution, and to strengthen the majesty and supremacy of regular organized forces of law and to increase patriotism of the purest kind among its members."

The increase of Negro population in the United States in the past ten years, given by the census authorities as 6.5 per cent is the smallest yet known. The figures have attracted wide attention, especially in the South, where both this small increase and the migration of the last few years emphasize the abnormally high death rat among Negroes and the need for more generous provision for their health and general welfare. Some state boards of health, like those of Virginia and North Carolina have for years been building up a humane and statesmanlike policy in this respect; and public sentiment throughout the South is growing rapidly in regard to the need and obligation for such work. The Columbia, S.C., State in a recent editorial urges it upon the attention and the conscience of "every Southern governor, legislature, college and progressive association," and individual of "every good man and woman," Many other papers take the same attitude; and some add frankly that health and prosperity will never be secure for any part of the South until they are secure for all.
