VOLUME XXXVII, NO. 43 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 PRICE ```markdown ``` We went touring the town Saturday in 19th and temperate weather. Business: Christopher. Fashion. Daughters of Mr. John. Daughters recompensated us with a car. Mr. R. letters on remains at home. I read Editor William Monroe Tucker and found him in the editorial room of his famous publication, The Horton Guardian. Just across the street was the point where the first of "prius Attacks" following fell. It is in the heart of the business fistfist. When I met this remarkable character before, he had his suffitable wate at his side. DISCUSSED ISSUES She had been recently injured by fall down the front steps of an office. He no longer wore a moustache and time had made irreproachs on his apparent young wife of a few years ago. He had grieved deeply over the loss of his companion of a lifetime and he discussed present day issues with all of the fire of youth out with some bitterness towards those, who continue to assault the rights and deny privileges to the race of people whose cause he espoused. Mr. Troter is uncompromising in his attitude and out-spoken in his emancipation of present day ostracism and persecution; I sat for a whirl and discussed with him the outlook THE FAVORED FEW We spoke of John Q. Adams, larry C. Smith and others as doingomen, uncompromising service for the race. It was evident that Editor damas was his ideal in this respect, he did not hesitate to make the statement. He was not at all disorganed by the outlook. He went with me to the Stanley steam car and inspected it with its numerousreamers. Then I bid him adieu and took up my winding way through no congested traffic of this north eastern city. I wanted to leave this action that afternoon and I found six minutes rapidly slipping away, cailed on Grand Chancellor E. B. Barco, of Magdeburg. He has at Mite into Pythianism in New England. LEAVING READVILLE He has purchased a fine building or the Order and he has his office located there. He urged me to visit peka, Kansas. Returning to adville, we loaded up for our return journey. I had hoped to make ringtone that night, but with the numerous delays, it looked very much through. I would find myself under a friendly roof of my friends Jones next morning. Bidding Missura B. Jones, Miss Lillie Jones, Miss Edith P. Jones and Missoline D. Jones goodbye, we went the station where the last word is said to Mr. John D. Jones. Weuck the road leading into Boston from that point, we were soon our way to Worcester Mass. I is P. M. Could we make Springdale before nightfall? This was the restion. Robinson was at the cool and the run was rapidly made we starped on our return trip to familiar scenes of Old Virginia. We passed through the crowded brotheques of Worcester. We saw one that we knew. THOSE SPECIAL SPORTS The Stanley steam car arrived at attention of all motorists and the no pennants with the names of officers we had passed through it visited attracted the attention the public. We had no trouble in the car and after leaving Worcester we had no trouble in finding our way in the direction of Springfield had passed the scene of our Hot's experience and I had telephoned Mr. Jackson about our own trip. We could not stop any are now as we had lost our tent Philadelphia. Darkness had come the earth, when Robinson arrived at the outskirts of Springfield, may not be wise to tell of the arts made, of racing with others. So far as the speed cop knew strictly observed the traffic laws MR. HUGHES RESIDENCE Finally we arrived at Mr. Jack's residence. He called up Mr. Mander Huizes and his accountant • Madame, formerly Madeline Simms of Richmond. Mr. Hughes had arranged for me to stop him, while Mr. Jackson had ingested to take Robinson and rest. When we got there, we had a palatial home, with flower and other arrangements that added we strongly of my trip to Angeles and other (California) "I have another spare room, continued on Fourth Page) CONVENTION AT BILMARKNOCK In this ground consecrated by the prayers of our mothers, this ground dedicated by the faith of our mothers, this ground harboured by the songs of our angelic children is holy, for God dwelle here.

TULS V NEGROES WIN RIGHT TO REBUILD BOMES --- The new ordinance passed by the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, following the recent riot, which extended the fire limits to restrict building in the devastated area so that colored people would have been unable to rebuild their burned homes, has been declared void in court, according to a telegram received today and made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 F. 10th Avenue, New York. The telegram, which is sent on behalf of a committee of prominent colored citizens of Oklahoma, says in part: "Tulsa'. new ordinance extending fire limits to restrict building in the devastated district was declared void by court today after court battle waged by our attorneys."

BREGADE ORGANIZED On Monday morning the Regimental Union met in St. Paul's Church at 10 o'clock to review their work for the last two years. This meeting was very instructive, as the reports showed vast growth in this department of the order. Then the First Regiment, which consists of 19 companies from Virginia, D.

DISTRICT GRAND LODGE MEETS The District Grand Lodge opened Tuesday morning at St. Paul Church for the general public exercise. Grand Master Major General R. T Stewart called the meeting to order and after devotionals by D. G. D. J. H. Binford of Richmond, Brigadier General W. B. F. Crowell was presented as Master of Ceremonies. The welcome to the city was delivered by Dr. Charles D. Fox, who re-queued the Mayor as well as the white traternities of the city and his address was a masterpiece of eloquence and logic.

The meeting adjourned to take up business. Wednesday morning. THE GRAND PARADE The grand parade took place at 3 oclock Tuesday and crowds thronged (Continued on Fourth Page) Which is THE best? The Democrats and the Colored People. My dear Mitchell: I have not for gotten the time, when in all our glory as an Alderman, from Jackson ward, you was a power and influence in the Richmond City Hall. It is a mistake on our part, to worry over the blunder of President Harding. For policy sake, if for no other reason, why should not the black people of Virginia who can vote, almost unitedly, cast their suffrage for the regular Democratic nominees? If, following the advice of the President, we are to fail in bottom white leadership, why not choose that quality of white leadership which includes the greater number of substantial whiters of the South? It is possible and probable, if there are large white accessions to the Republican party in the South, that such accensions, in the main, will be from that element in the Democratic party, who, in the past, have been the black man's bittersweet. I do not forget the fact that when the late William Mahone made a break in the Democratic party, and brought thousands into the Republican party, that such new recruits, largely were from the crowd in the Democratic party who had been responsible for ballot box stuffing, and intimidating Negroes. THE LOGICAL RESULT In fact, I well remember, that some of this very type confessed as much on the stump, in appealing to the black man for his vote, but added that they had repent and, would use the 'knowledge on behalf of the Negro. If one of the results of President Harding's advice manifests itself, if filling up the ranks of the Republican party in the south with the worst elements in the Democratic party, then thereby the exigence will welcome into the ranks of Democracy just that kind of conservative, and reliable force as would assist the quality and substantive' white man of the South in the interpretation of such bitter ideals as would contribute to the best welfare of all the people, both black and white. There is no reason to be in despair. The darkest hour is before the break of day; and some we believe that "day-break" is near at hand. Faithfully, your old friend, and journalistic co worker, GEORGE F. BRAGG, JR. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 13, 1921. 1425 McCallus Street. --- COLORED PATROLMAN NOW A DETECTIVE SERGEANT (New York Herald, Aug. 27.) Wesley Redding, colored patrolman of the West 125th street station was called to Police Headquarters yesterday. "Redding, I want your shield," said Commissioner in nright. The patrolman unfastened it and tossed it on the table. There was bewilderment in his face, and his shoulders drooped slightly as he stood at attention. But the Commissioner, in one of dismissing him, picked up a gold plated badge marked "detective sergeant" and pinned it on him. It was Redding's twenty ninth birthday, which gave him extra cause for happiness. When he appeared later in Washington Heights Court with a prisoner, he received the congratulations of Magistrate Douras, who told him that the city never fails to recognize the able work of its en playmen. Redding joined the force eighteen months ago, and in the course of one night arrested nine highwaymen and burglars. All were convicted later. TO EIGHT EXECUTION OF THE ARKANSAS FARMERS The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 79 Fifth Avenue, New York, announced that efforts would be made to obtain from the Supreme Court of the United States a writ of certiorari in behalf of six Arkansas Negro farmers condemned to die on September 23 for their conviction with the Arkansas riots of 1919. It is then content plated applying to a Federal Court for a writ of habeas corpus. It was for appealing to the Governor of Arkansas in behalf of these men that Professor Robert T. Kerlin was handed a resolution of dismissal by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute. 'SIX other of the Negro farmers are to be tried at Marianna, Arkansas, in October. Receipt was announced of a telegram from the National Association's counsel in Little Rock which said in part: "Have great confidence of victory in final out come if given proper assistance." --- BURGLARS IN SECOND STREET Burglaries made raids on Second Street edifice Sunday night of before day Sunday morning. Mr. B. A. Cephas' Real Estate office was visited. The front door was broken open and the handle of the safe hammered, but nothing was taken. A revolver in a desk was left undisturbed. The Southern Aid Society offices were visited. Entrance was by the front door. The handle was broken off. They simply broke open the door of Tyler's thoral establishment, turned the small snoop over and left without taking anything. They did not seem to appreciate flowers. The damage done has been repaired and there is no trace as to who co-acted of the damage. --- IDEAL SOCIETY TO HOLD NINTH ANNUAL CONVENTION The Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society will hold its ninth annual session in the city next week beginning Tuesday September 6th at 10 o'clock A.M. at Leigh Street.

EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL, JR. A communications intended for publication could be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday, later at the Post Office at Richmond, Virginia as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.09 41 Months ..... 1.19 three Months ..... .00 foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.58 SATURDAY... SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 Plain truth is all right, but it is mighty unpalatable at times. Some people like to read novels and others like the movies. Saving money is a habit. We advise you to get the habit. Read and pay for a good paper. We of course recommend to you the Planet. People, who go up can come down, even though they come sliding down. Practically all children are close observers and so are most women. We are having a hard time now, but we can smile in the face of adversity. Prices are coming down and so are wages. Rents persist in remaining up, however. People, who are injured in automobiles seem to be anxious for another chance. Well, it begins to look to us as though the colored people of Virginia are getting together. We should pray without ceasing, but in the daytime, we can work without stop praying. A good woman is a god-sent blessing to any man, but Lord save us from the other kind. We have some leaders amongst the colored people. As a rule they are not properly recognized. One bad colored person can ruin the reputation of a thousand good colored persons. Don't forget that. Some women are angels to some men and devils to some others and the same may be paid of some men. Cleanliness is said to be akin to godliness, but there are a multitude of clean people who are not at all godly. It is an open question as to whether the Irish patriots are holding the British bull by the head or by the tail. People, who go up to Heaven never come back and the same may be said to those, who go down to the other place. When a man knows how to climb down in as dignified a manner as he did in climbing up, his future in this life is secure. --- It is easy for some people to die a and difficult for some people to live. Most people prefer the difficult task to the easy one. When a race of people falls so low in the scie of human intelligence that it $ _{3} $ will not contend for rights denied its case is hopeless. Deception is ninety per cent of this life and if you examine condition closely, you will find out that the other ten per cent are affected. We some times think that people who died just before the war are better of than most of us are who lived until after the war ended. White folks are learning how to kill white police-officers although colored folks have long since got out of the habit of doing so. The Ku Klux Klan is striving in vain to become respectable in many States. Five centuries will not wipe out the stain surrounding that many. Colored people should support their own enterprises, even though many of their own leaders fall so to do, until they enter in business for themselves. The nations of the earth are trying out experiments under the sun in a vain effort to circumvent and avoid the teachings of the Scriptures and the lessons learned during the world's darkest periods. It is consoling to the faithful to know that some people cannot fool God, although they may be very successful in fooling everybody else, but the Devil. Ten dollar people wearing hundred dollar finery should remember that they are living upside down instead of right side up. They will bring sorrow to themselves and to other people. Some good-looking girls are all good looks and nothing more. Some good-looking men are all good looks and it will pay the good-looking girls to beware of them. Some people dote on getting things done for nothing. They believe in paying in praise only, but when it comes to paying in money, they are "just gone." Some people delight to see just how little work they can do and make a living. Those kind of people should enter the missionary field and be happy. A man, who marries once will want to marry again. Many of them are slow about taking a second chance after having a rough experience with the first choice. Numbers of people live alone by their wits. The result is when they marry, their matrimonial mates must either take care of them selves or seek admission to the poor-house. Some people believe in dreams and others do not believe in them. We know that events to come are often reflected in dreams, which have preceded the happening. With some of these white folks around about here, there is no wonder that colored folks have had bad habits and that some others have good traits worthy of emulation. It is good to have plain, unadulterated religion, but there is no need of throwing it away every time you get in a close place and want to join in with the world and its frivolities. --- Some people's tongues keep them from work most of the time. They like to discuss from A to Z and when they get through discussing, they are out of pocket if they are not out of breath. You cannot deny to colored people their rights and privileges without endangering the rights and privileges of the white folks. As a result, we see the personal rights and privileges of the white folks now going "aglimmering" in the distance. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Make friends with the white people, colored folks. You will have enough of them your enemies anyway, but make friends with those white folks, who will permit you to be friendly with them. --- Some people go to school simply to avoid work and when they come out and find that they can only secure the results of their scholastic training by work, they sink down to rise no more. President Warren G. Harding occupies a unique position in the history of the world, but his Secretary of State seems to be making a record, which some day may land him In the Presidential chair. An old man, who marries a young woman shows much affection and a little judgment. He may not live long enough to appreciate fully his mistake, but his wife will realize it after the first six months. Whenever a northern white person begins fooling with the race question, look out for most trouble. Whenever a Southern white person begins fooling with the race question, just look cut for some trouble. Colored folks believe in oppostag each other. They know how to be selfish to the extreme and they roll the abuse of one of their leaders under their tongues like a sweet morsel. All of the colored folks do not do this, however. The white Republicans, who believe that they can elect a Governor without the aid of the full Republican vote in this State will have an excellent opportunity to be convinced when all of the oared folks, either stay at home or vote the other way. ```markdown ``` When we think of the patriarchs, who got along with six hundred wives we wonder how they did it when some of these devilish men, hereabouts can not get along with one six hundredth part of that number. It may be that the men in those days had more wisdom and more money than the men in this day. Some people can only climb so high and no higher. Education and training will not enable them to ascend above this prescribed limit. Thank God, this is not determined however by race or color, but by mental ability and physical development. --- Some parents secure good records of their children at school and this is expected to pay them for the outlay and expense in educating them. After they graduate, many of them think that they should spend all the money which they make upon themselves, or their family, while the old folks suffer for the need of the money which they have expended upon them. This is why God suffers many a brilkiant student to fail in life's work. Who ever believed that under a Republican administration after the question of his fitness and his ability to hold a Government office, the President of the United States would send out to ascertain, whether or not the applicant or the prospective appointee was white or colored? --- Women are made up for the movies and veritable hags become angels of loveliness on the screen. However, this kind of make-up will not be close inspection and those who try it in the parlors have a hard time and with little or no satisfaction to them selves or to other people. The Louisville Leader published an admirable edition on the National Medical Association which met there recently. This is now one of the most managed and influential bodies now controlled by our people. Harmony seems to be the watch-word land in this it is in striking contrast to some other organizations, which we have in mind. The Spiritualists claim to be able to hold communications with the dead. We are perfectly willing to wait until we become a spirit ourselves, before we talk to any of those folks, who have gone on before. They should have rest and we do not care to disturb them. Certainly, we want rest on this side from any of the talk that they failed to have with us before they crossed over to the other side. We did not know that Ralph W. Tyler was dead until we went West recently. He was a prominent figure in Ohio politics. He made some mistakes, like the rest of us, but he made a record of which his relatives and friends may well feel proud. He had many white friends in Ohio and a host of colored ones. One of the most difficult tasks on some people is paying a small amount for a colored newspaper. They pay it all right but some of them pay it just as though they have a pain in the stomach. They prefer borrowing some other subscriber's paper and getting the benefit free of charge. There have been dead beats in this world ever since the time of Adam and the number has been steadily on the increase. Are you a dead-beat? Let every one examine himself. It is now announced that Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson has been stricken with paralysis in Washington. This attack must have been meant for his enemies and he got in the way and it struck him. We hope that it is not serious and that he will soon be himself again. If the United States Senate will promptly confirm him as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, it will do more to benefit his mind and heal that hemorrhage of the brain than anything else that we know. --- Some of our people are constantly talking about the Negro this and the Negro the other and then when they get treated as Negroes, they get as "mad as the devil." They are to a great extent the cause of their own handicaps. We have always believed that there was too much racial antagonism aroused by our own exorcisms. If we would discuss ourselves as American citizens only and leave the question of race out, we are of the opinion that many of those race problems would disappear. We have professional economists and lecturers, who make a Negro question and a Negro issue when there is none. They ask for help for Negroes, just as they would ask help for Indians and then are surprised, when special provisions are being made for us in this Government, just as though we wore wards of the nation, instead of being a part and parcel of this great Government of ours. This is a matter of our own opinion, but it seems to us that it is time to stand up as American citizens and be counted and insist upon securing for ourselves all of the rights and privileges of American citizens without segregation. Editor John Q. Adams of St. Paul Minnesota, Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Massachusetts and Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio are right on this question and so are hundreds of others, who entertain similar views. We hope to see the dawn of the day when their views will be generally accepted by the great mass of race leaders, and when that day comes, we shall have no more Harding declaration of principles relating to the Negroes issued from the White House and no more Republican State Conventions in Virginia or in any other State from which the citizens of color are excluded. Let us get together upon the plat form of these recognized principles and let us stay together. THAT 'REPUBLICAN CONVEN- TION,' Some of our contemporaries seem to be of the opinion that the Republican State Convention at Norfolk, which nominated Hon. Henry W. Anderson and other candidates excluded most of the colored people and admitted some others. As a matter of fact, no colored delegate was admitted to a seat among the delegates of that Convention. On the contrary, police officers were stationed at the doors and the credentials, official badges or any other official designation was useless unless it appeared on the person or in the hands of a white person. Negroes were admitted to the galleries, in which no white delegate sat, but on the convention floor, they were studiously barred and forced out. As far as we have been able to ascertain, the white Republicans in Alexandria elected one colored delegate and furnished him with his credentials. He was not permitted to sit with his delegation and the colored delegate retired. His white chair man was disgusted over the proceedings. We are of the opinion that the colored people in the northern States would do well to take a note of this condition of affairs. They have the power to help us with the Administration at Washington. The distinguished occupant of the White House seems to have reached that stage, where, so far as colored folks are concerned and their political rights are affected, he has "eyes, which see not and ears, which hear not." O, the pity of it! DR. CROSSLAND RECOGNIZED. The accomplished newspaper correspondent, Wm. H. Davis of Washington D. C., is sending out the information that Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle Washington, who was recently appointed Director of the United States Veterans' Bureau has seen fit to appoint, Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., "Special Expert" in this Department to look after the interests of colored ex-service men. This is a fitting recognition of one of our ablest leaders. Nevertheless, it emphasizes the drawing of the color line against which the far seeing leaders of the colored people in this country have protested without seeming effect. Under this ruling, it may soon be expected that Irish American citizens will be appointed only with the understanding that they shall look after the Irishman's interests. Hebrews will look after those affairs; which affect the Jews. Indians will be appointed to look after the interests of the Indians, the Germans to look after the Germans. Italians to look after the interests of the Italiani and so on. However, we are glad that Dr. Crossland got the job and we hope that he will hold to it like "grim death" if for no other reason than the money which the office pays. Dr. Crossland gave an only son to the cause in Europe and as a result, he is confined in his operations to the race with which his son was identified. We understand now, that colored men will hold offices all right, but those offices will be confined to work amongst the colored people exclusively. This will fan the flames of race prejudice rather than stamp out the crowning infamy of this age. Financially, we may be benefited, but as a matter of fundamental principle, we are needlessly humiliated and our progress in the direction of full American citizenship and its attendant privileges checked for many years to come. --- ANOTHER CONVENTION The Republicans of this State will hold a mass convention in this city at the True Reformers Hall on Labor Day and the indications are that after a full and free discussion of the advisability of so doing will name a full State ticket to be voted for next November. The reasons for it seem to be apparent. The political situation is peculiar and confusing. For the first time in the history of this State the alleged regular Republican candidates are running upon a platform, openly advocating the recognition of white men only in the matter of government and declaring that the support of colored voters is a liability rather than an asset. In this position, they are being supported by a Republican Administration and by a Republican National Committee. Everything has been sacrificed to party expediency and right principles have been cast aside. Hon Henry W. Anderson is now making a campaign upon a Democratic-Republican platform and is vainly endeavoring to ride two horses at one time. One is a fast animal and the other one is an awful slow one, although both are going in the same direction. He cannot make the one run slower and he cannot induce the other to run faster. He is already badly handicapped and it looks now as though he will meet with disaster before he has gone one half of the distance around the ring. Colored folks are doing some praying now and much thinking and from the looks of their eyes, they see much satisfaction in the distance, when the judges announce the decision and Senator E. Lee Trinkle with his team comes in. REV. JOHN JASPER A white friend has sent us a copy of The Boston Globe, of July 6, 1921, in which appears an excellent likeness of Rev. John Jasper. This white Virginian is highly indignant over the reflections upon this sainted divine and the crude extracts' from what purports to be a sermon delivered by Rev. Jasper on "The Sun Do Move." The language used is ridiculous as Rev. Jasper was a profound student of the Scriptures and could preach from texts without opening the Holy Word of God. He made it an invariable rule to close the Bible after he had taken his text and his language was fairly good, making now and then grammatical errors, but withall being a fairly good student of English. The writer overlooks the fact that there are white astronomers who teach that the sun moves and there are many white people, who believe that the earth is square. When Rev. Jasper declared that an object which has four corners cannot be square, his logic was perfect and his reasoning the same way. The only question is whether or not the expression in the Bible is figurative or real. If the former, then the astronomers, who hold that the earth is round have a chance. If it is real. then from a logical stand point, there is no way to refute Rev. John Jasper's reasoning. Enough for that. The point we wish to emphasize is that colored leaders and colored people have many true friends among the white people of the Southland and this distinguished white Virginian is one of them. He was so disgusted with the publication that he sent it to us with the request that we should comment upon the same and we have done so. For our part, we believe that the Rev. John Jasper is in Heaven and we hope that his traducers may reach the same place. MORE TROUBLE The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Missouri, N. A.; S. A.; E.; A. and A.., found the doors closed against it at Topeka, Kansas at a recent session of the Supreme Lodge The exact date was August 16, 1921. That body had declined to pay any more taxes into the Supreme Lodge treasury until it got some satisfaction about the money already paid. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green ordered the Supreme Representatives A. W. Lloyd (Grand Chancellor) W. A. Johnson, Dr. T. A. Curtis and J. D. Sexton out of the hall and threatened to send for an officer to remove them if they did not retire. They left the hall, but when they returned the next day, they came with an officer, who put them into the Supreme Lodge. There they remained until the Supreme Lodge adjourned. At least their right to seats thereun remained unquestioned for that length of time. This is an unfortunate condition of affairs and is the result of a "rule or ruin" policy promulgated by little men with little minds. This is no time for fighting among colored people. We should have leaders willing to promote harm only rather than stir up strife. Under the able leadership of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, every effort had been made to avoid this conflict and the money in question had been placed in escrow, so to speak in order that this outbreak might not occur. The Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri, now appears to be united. In Ohio, the feeling is bitter and the rank and file there are sliding with Missouri. Virginia and Missouri are in sympathy and other Grand Jurisdictions are in the mood for a revolt caused by the arbitrary methods, which bring discord to the membership and contempt for the Order. The outlook is that another big struggle for fundamental rights is to begin, with the States named in the limelight. Joseph L. Jones of Ohio, who has a host of friends throughout the country seems to be looming up in the distance and the indications are that his own State will continue to loyalty support him. As for Virginia, like her people, they are free and they expect to remain so. ANOTHER SUGGESTION Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., now a resident of Baltimore, an editor of the Church Advocate, but a decade ago the editor of the Petersburg, Va., Lancet, propounds some interesting questions. We have thought of all of them before and wondered if the colored people would not be justified in doing just what he suggests they should do. Then we remembered that pure undulterated citizenship worthy of the name gauged its action by fundamental principles and platforms rather than individual, or political exigencies. That is to say, colored people should select from among the parties asking for support such a party as would in its platform and principles approach nearest to the ideals and principles in which the individual citizen believes. Our motto has always been principles, not men, but men as the representatives of principles." We admit that if we had decided to follow President Warren G. Harding's advice, we would at once follow the suggestion of our distinguished race leader in Baltimore. On the contrary, we have decided to do no such thing and the alternative proposition is to organize ourselves and support each other until the opportunity presents itself for us to support some one of the great Parties now appealing only for white suffrage. Certainly though, if the colored people could be induced to follow New Bragg's advice, it would be giving President Harding "a Roland for his Oliver" and turning the tables on him in a manner that it would be many years before he and his managers would forget it. For our part, we will support any movement which will remedy present conditions and tend to show that the Negroes of fifty years ago are not the citizens of color of today. A new "Richmond" is in the field and with the help of God, he will bring dismay and disaster to those Negro-haters, who oppose them: DR. JOHNSON'S DELIBERATION Rev. Harvey Johnson, D. D., theologian and biblical research student has sent to us from Baltimore, where he is a power for good, a leaflet. He deals with the "Hamite" and claims that the so called Negroes are descendants from Ham and constitute the only original historical nation now in existence. He places the Holy Bible as supreme in the matter of historical knowledge and declares that according to this Good Book his position up on this all important question is unassailable. He says: Now what is the Law and the Testimony in relation to the sons of Ham? What is the original testimony, I mean? For this we shall turn to the Word of God—the Bible—and the only original history of the descent of the human race in existence. Yet there are histories many, but not original; they are romance one and all whether German, Saxon, Anglo-Saxon English, French, Scotch Irish or what not. These, and all the rest of the human races on earth today, are of mythical origin except the Hamite races. They alone, are historical in origin. So they are neither ethnical, nor mythical, but the real descendants of Noah. And I here and now holdly assert that of the three sons of Noah (Ham, Shem, and Papheth) Ham is the only one of the three that exists today as a people, and that have preserved to themselves a country. Shem and Japheth and their descendants are completely lost to history, or in other words have been swallowed up in the great whirl and vortex of time. For neither of them ever established for themselves a country, town or city. Neither of them, with their descendants, can be traced by their genealogy out of Asia into Africa or Canaan. These countries were left by Noah to Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan, (see Gen. 10th Chap.) It is true that romance writers have tried and are still trying, to connect Japheth with the Greeks 'through the name of Javan, his fourth son. For they hold that Ionia of the G Greeks, is the same as Javan, the phi prox. I here quote a paragraph from Brown's Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. It reads: "Javan, or Ion, was the fourth son of Japheth, and the father of all those nations which were included under the name of Greeians, or Jontians, as they were invariably called in the East. He dismisses the claims of profane history as follows: Now all of this romance narrative is based on the mere fact that the name Javan is found in Isahn 66:19 and Ezekiel 27:13. Now it is a well-known fact that Moses is said to have written Genesis, and that Isahn wrote his prophecies. And Usher, in his Chronology, which is in the margin of our Bibles, says Moses wrote about the birth of Javan B. C. 2348 and that Isahn wrote B. C. 698 a difference of 1750 years. But just think of what a leap this is from Moses to Isahn, that is, seventeen hundred years. But where was Javan, if he lived that long? What country did he setth? None whatever. So he, all that time, was doing nothing, just like his father Japheth for there is nothing whatever to his record, or to either of their records. But after this, roman tic history makes Javan get into Greece. What do they find? Nothing but a mythical people, which the Greeks were. Yes, most extremely so, for they are known to history such as we have of them, to be the offspring of the god Mars. He was also the chief god of the Romans, which if possible, is still more fictitious. For their origin as a people rests solely on Virgil's "Aeuid," which is an anpie poem, and has Aeneas for its basis, an escaped hero from the solge and sack of the city of Troy. The whole of which is pure myth. For it has been shown that those people are absolutely romantic in origin it being solely Virgil's "Aeuid." But enough for this week. We shall proceed further with this interesting comment in our next issue. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Quillin, Va., Aug. 17, 1921.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 Plain truth is all right, but it is mighty unpalatable at times. Some people like to read novels and others like the movies. Saving money is a habit. We advise you to get the habit. Read and pay for a good paper. We of course recommend to you the Planet. People, who go up can come down, even though they come sliding down. Practically all children are close observers and so are most women. We are having a hard time now, but we can smile in the face of adversity. Prices are coming down and so are wages. Rents persist in remaining up, however. People, who are injured, in automobiles seem to be anxious for another chance. Well, it begins to look to us as though the colored people of Virginia are getting together. We should pray without ceasing, but in the day-time, we can work without stop praying. A good woman is a god-sent blessing to any man, but Lord save us from the other kind. We have some leaders amongst the colored people. As a rule they are not properly recognized. One bad colored person can ruin the reputation of a thousand good colored persons. Don't forget that. Some women are angels to some men and devils to some others and the same may be said of some men. Cleanliness is said to be akin to godliness, but there are a multitude of clean people who are not at all godly. It is an open question as to whether the Irish patriots are holding the British bull by the head or by the tail. People, who go up to Heaven never come back and the same may be said to those, who go down to the other place. When a man knows how to climb down in as dignified a manner as he did in climbing up, his future in this life is secure. ```markdown ``` It is easy for some people to die a and difficult for some people to live. Most people prefer the difficult task to the easy one. Deception is ninety per cent of this life and if you examine condition closely, you will find out that the other ten per cent are affected. We some times think that people who died just before the war are better of than most of us are who lived until after the war ended. White folks are learning how to kill white police officers although colored folks have long since got out of the habit of doing so. The Ku Klux Klan is striving in vain to become respectable in many States. Five centuries will not wipe out the stain surrounding that many. Occluded people should support their own enterprises, even though many of their own leaders fall so to do, until they enter in business for themselves. The nations of the earth are trying out experiments under the sun in a vain effort to circumvent and avoid the teachings of the Scriptures and the lessons learned during the world's darkest periods. It is consoling to the faithful to know that some people cannot fool God, although they may be very successful in fooling everybody else, but the Devil. Ten dollar people wearing hundred dollar finery should remember that they are living upside down instead of right side up. They will bring sorrow to themselves and to other people. Some good-looking girls are all good looks and nothing more. Some good-looking men are all good-looks and it will pay the good-looking girls to beware of them. Some people dote on getting things done for nothing. They believe in paying in praise only, but when it comes to paying in money, they are "just gone." Some people delight to see just how little work they can do and make a living. Those kind of people should enter the missionary field and be happy. A man, who marries once will want to marry again. Many of them are slow about taking a second chance after having a rough experience with the first choice. Numbers of people live alone by their wits. The result is when they marry, their matrimonial mates must either take care of them selves or seek admission to the poor-house. Some people believe in dreams and others do not believe in them. We know that events to come are often reflected in dreams, which have preceded the happening. With some of these white folks around about here, there is no wonder that colored folks have had bad habits and that some others have good traits worthy of emulation. It is good to have plain, unadulterated religion, but there is no need of throwing it away every time you get in a close place and want to join in with the world and its frivolities. ```markdown ``` Some people's tongues keep them from work most of the time. They like to discuss from A to Z and when they get through discussing, they are out of pocket if they are not out of breath. You cannot deny to colored people their rights and privileges without endangering the rights and privileges of the white folks. As a result, we see the personal rights and privileges of the white folks now going "aglimmering" in the distance. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Make friends with the white people, colored folks. You will have enough of them your enemies anyway, but make friends with those white folks, who will permit you to be friendly with them. --- Some people go to school simply to avoid work and when they come out and find that they can only secure the results of their scholastic training by work, they sink down to rise no more. President Warren G. Harding occupies a unique position in the history of the world, but his Secretary of State seems to be making a record, which some day may land him In the Presidential chair. An old man, who marries a young woman shows much affection and a little judgment. He may not live long enough to appreciate fully his instake, but his wife will realize it after the first six months. Whenever a northern white person begins fooling, with the race question, look out for most trouble. Whenever a Southern white person begins fooling with the race question, just look out for some trouble. Colored folks believe in oppostag each other. They know how to be selfish to the extreme and they roll the abuse of one of their leaders under their tongues like a sweet morsel. All of the colored folks do not do this, however. --- The white Republicans, who believe that they can elect a Governor without the aid of the full Republican vote in this State will have an excellent opportunity to be convinced when all of the cofored folks, either stay at home or vote the other way. XA XC XD XE XF XG XH XI XJ XK XL XM XN XO XP XQ XR XS XT XU XV XW XX When we think of the patriarchs, who got along with six hundred wives we wonder how they did it when some of these devilish men, hereabouts can not get along with one six hundredth part of that number. It may be that the men in those days had more wisdom and more money than the men in this day. Some people can only climb so high and no higher. Education and training will not enable them to ascend above this prescribed limit. Thank God, this is not determined however by race or color, but by mental ability and physical development. 1. What is the difference between the mean and the median of the following data sets? Some parents secure good records of their children at school and this is expected to pay them for the outlay and expense in educating them. After they graduate, many of them think that they should spend all the money which they make upon themselves, or their family, while the old folks suffer for the need of the money which they have expended upon them. This is why God suffers many a brilliant student to fail in life's work. Who ever believed that under a Republican administration after the question of his fitness and his ability to hold a Government office, the President of the United States would send out to ascertain, whether or not the applicant or the prospective appointee was white or colored? Women are made up for the movies and veritable hags become angels of loveliness on the screen. However, this kind of make-up will not be close inspection and those who try it in the parlors have a hard time and with little or no satisfaction to them solves or to other people. The Louisville Leader published an admirable edition on the National Medical Association which met there recently. This is now one of the most managed and influential bodies now controlled by our people. Harmony seems to be the watch-word land in this it is in striking contrast to some other organizations, which we have in mind. The Spiritualists claim to be able to hold communications with the dead. We are perfectly willing to wait until we become a spirit ourselves, before we talk to any of those folks, who have gone on before. They should have rest and we do not care to disturb them. Certainly, we want rest on this side from any of the talk that they failed to have with us before they crossed over to the other side. We did not know that Ralph W. Tyler was dead until we went West recently. He was a prominent figure in Ohio politics. He made some mistakes, like the rest of us, but he made a record of which his relatives and friends may well feel proud. He had many white friends in Ohio and a host of colored ones. One of the most difficult tasks on some people is paying a small amount for a colored newspaper. They pay it all right but some of them pay it just as though they have a pain in the stomach. They prefer borrowing some other subscriber's paper and getting the benefit free of charge. There have been dead beats in this world ever since the time of Adam and the number has been steadily on the increase. Are you a dead-beat? Let every one examine himself. ```markdown ``` It is now announced that Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson has been stricken with paralysis in Washington. This attack must have been meant for his enemies and he got in the way and it struck him. We hope that it is not serious and that he will soon be himself again. If the United States Senate will promptly confirm him as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, it will do more to benefit his mind and heat that hemorrhage of the brain than anything else that we know. Some of our people are constantly talking about the Negro this and the Negro the other and then when they get treated as Negroes, they get as "mad as the devil." They are to a great extent the cause of their own handicaps. We have always believed that there was too much racial antagonism aroused by our own exertions. If we would discuss ourselves as American citizens only and leave the question of race out, we are of the opinion that many of these race problems would disappear. We have professional economists and lecturers, who make a Negro question and a Negro issue when there is none. They ask for help for Negroes, just as they would ask help for Indians and then are surprised, when special provisions are being made for us in this Government, just as though we wore wards of the nation, instead of being a part and parcel of this great Government of ours. This is a matter of our own opinion, but it seems to us that it is time to stand up as American citizens and be counted and insist upon securing for ourselves all of the rights and privileges of American citizens without segregation. Editor John Q. Adams of St. Paul Minnesota, Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Massachusetts and Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio are right on this question and so are hundreds of others, who entertain similar views. We hope to see the dawn of the day when their views will be generally accepted by the great mass of race leaders, and when that day comes, we shall have no more Harding declaration of principles relating to the Negroes issued from the White House and no more Republican State Conventions in Virginia or in any other State from which the citizens of color are excluded.

O, the pity of it! DR. CROSSLAND RECOGNIZED. The accomplished newspaper correspondent, Wm. H. Davis of Washington D. C., is sending out the information that Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle Washington, who was recently appointed Director of the United States Veterans Bureau has seen fit to appoint, Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., "Special Expert" in this Department to look after the interests of colored ex-service men. This is a fitting recognition of one of our ablest leaders. Nevertheless, it emphasizes the drawing of the color line against which the far seeing leaders of the colored people in this country have protested without seeming effect. Under this ruling, it may soon be expected that Irish American citizens will be appointed only with the understanding that they shall look after the Irishman's interests. Hebrews will look after those affairs, which affect the Jews. Indians will be appointed to look after the interests of the Indians, the Germans to look after the Germans.

Jones of Ohio, who has a host of friends throughout the country seems to be looming up in the distance and the indications are that his own State will continue to loyally support him. As for Virginia, like her people, they are free and they expect to remain so. Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., now a resident of Baltimore, an editor of the Church Advocate, but a decade ago the editor of the Petersburg, Va., Lancet, propounds some interesting questions. We have thought of all of them before and wended if the colored people would not be justified in doing just what he suggests they should do. Then we remembered that pure undiluted citizenship worthy of the name gauged its action by fundamental principles and platforms rather than individual, or political exigencies. That is to say, colored people should select from among the parties asking for support such a party as would in its platform and principles approach nearest to the ideals and principles in which the individual citizen believes. Our motto has always been principles, not men, but men as the representatives of principles." We admit that if we had decided to follow President Warren G. Harding's advice, we would at once follow the suggestion of our distinguished race leader in Baltimore. On the contrary, we have decided to do no such thing and the alternative proposition is to organize ourselves and support each other until the opportunity presents itself for us to support some one of the great Parties now appealing only for white suffrage. Certainly though, if the colored people scale in inducement to feline New Bragg's advice, it would be giving President Harding "a Roland for his Oliver" and turning the tables on him in a manner that it would be many years before he and his managers would forget it. For our part, we will support any movement which will remedy present conditions and tend to show that the Negroes of fifty years ago are not the citizens of color of today. A new "Richmond" is in the field and with the help of God, he will bring dismay and disaster to those Negro-haters, who oppose them. DR. JOHNSON'S DELIBERATIONS Rev. Harvey Johnson, D. D., theologian and biblical research student has sent to us from Baltimore, where he is a power for good, a leaflet. He deals with the "Hamite" and claims that the so called Negroes are desecrants from Ham and constitute the only original historical nation now in existence. He places the Holy Bible as supreme in the matter of historical knowledge and declares that according to this Good Book his position up on this all important question is unassailable. He says: Now what is the Law and the Testimony in relation to the sons of Ham? What is the original testimony, I mean? For this we shall turn to the Word of God—the Bible—and the only original history of the descent of the human race in existence. Yet there are histories many, but not original; they are romance one and all whether German, Saxon, Anglo-Saxon English, French, Scotch Irish or what not. These, and all the rest of the human races on earth today, are of mythical origin except the Hamite races. They alone, are historical in origin. So they are neither ethical, nor mythical, but the real descendants of Noah. And I here and now boldly assert that of the three sons of Noah (Ham, Shem, and Papheth) Ham is the only one of the three that exists today as a people, and that have preserved to themselves a country. Shem and Japheth and their descendants are completely lost, to history, or in other words have been swallowed up in the great whirl and vortex of time. For neither of them ever established for themselves a country, town or city. Neither of them, with their descendants, can be traced by their genealogy out of Asia into Africa or Canaan. These countries were left by Noah to Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan, (see Gen. 10th Chap.) It is true that romance writers have tried and are still trying, to connect Japheth with the Greeks 'through the name of Javan, his fourth son. For they hold that Ionia of the GGreeks, is the same as Javan the phi phi pro. I here quote a paragraph from Brown's Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. It reads: "Javan, or Ion, was the fourth son of Japheth, and the father of all those nations which were included under the name of Greeks, or Jonians, as they were invariably called in the East. He dismisses the claims of profane history as follows: Now all of this romance narrative is based on the mere fact that the name Javan is found in Isaiah 66:19 and Bzekiel 27:13. Now it is a well-known fact that Moses is said to have written Genesis, and that Isaiah wrote his prophecies. And Usher, in his Chronology, which is in the margin of our Bibles, says Moses wrote about the birth of Javan B. C. 2348 and that Isaiah wrote B. C. 698 a difference of 1750 years. But just think of what a leap this is from Moses to Isaiah, that is, seventeen hundred years. But where was Javan, if he lived that long? What country did he set? None whatever. So he all that time, was doing nothing, just like his father Japheth for there is nothing whatever to his record, or to either of their records. But after this, roman tic history makes Javan get into Greece. What do they find? Nothing but a mythical people, which the Greeks were. Yes, most extremely so, for they are known to history quite as we have of them, to be the offspring of the god Mars. He was also the chief god of the Romans, which if possible, is still more fictitious. For their origin as a people rests solely on Virgil's "Aeuid," which is an ane poem, and has Aeneas for its basis, an escaped hero from the seige and sack of the city of Tooy. The whole of which is pure myth. For it has been shown that those people are absolutely romantic in origin it being solely Virgil's "Aeuid." But enough for this week.

COMMANDER STEERS SHIP OVER WATER, AVERTS NEW DISASTER. Engines Are Kept Roaring to Get Away From the Town Before the Final Crash—Some of the Crew Leap Into Space but Die in Water. --- Hull, England. Aug. 24.—The giant irrigible ZR-2, while flying over the heart of this city at 5:30 this evening burst into flames, bucked and broke in two in midair. Then, after two terflying expositions which shook Hull, he dropped into the River Humber and forty-four of the forty-nine persons aboard went to their deaths. All of the Americans, six officers and seven men, were lost. That the airship dropped into the number probably was due to the heroic nerve of Commander Wann, or whoever was on her bridge when the explosion came. Even in distress the stricken monster was veered toward the river and engines were kept roaring and a drop into the centre of this swarming city, with the attendant consequences terrible to contemplate, was averted. The tide rose rapidly after the fall of the airship and at dark tonight every part of it was submerged. The wreck of the ZR-2 was a terrifying scene. About 5:30 o'clock this afternoon, the airship, flying about 1,000 feet up, was first seen here. She was sailing gracefully over the west central district of the city. The sky was beautiful and there was scarcely vestige of a breeze. She was seen to shake and then her nose dipped. Auff of smoke arose from her bows. This was followed by a spurt of flame thousands looked againt at the sight in the sky. Cries were heard. "She has cut in two!" This was true, but what had caused it, was impossible to imagine. A moist mist seemed to hang about her a fact the atmosphere immediately became so hot that the fire aboard the giant of the air was not the striking note of the spectacle. Then six columns of smoke poured from the ship. Women screamed. Both men and women rushed to shelter, behaving just as they did during Zeppelin raids on Hull in the world war. It seemed that just before the explosion aboard the ZR2 she turned in a southernly direction. No doubt the captain of the airship, realizing the danger turned toward the Hunter, EAP FROM BURNING MASS TO THEIR DEATH Then this is what happened: The airship took a course in line with the commercial road across the bridge, and the two halves of the dirible, crumbling, shattered and blazed, dropped into the river midway between the pliers and New Holland, on the Lincolnshire shore. Eyewitnesses saw men leap from the burning mass turning over before they plunged into the water. It appears that only a few parachutes were used. About a quarter of a mile separat ed the two halves of the airship when they dropped into midstream. From the pliers they looked like great white larquees flopping on the surface. The half which was further away opposite the Riverside quay, blazed on the water for some time. The whole thing lasted only five or six minutes. Soon after the shattered airship truck the water all sorts of tugs and pats put off to render what assistance they could. Tens of thousands of troops flocked to the piers, hundreds conveyances from all parts of the ty drove to the riverside and otor and horse drawn ambulances are rushed there. About fifteen minutes after the ZR-fell to the river the few survivors are brought ashore. As they came on the Victoria pier into Neptune rect the silent, surging, crowd raisers a cheer. The people had seemed supefied by the horror of the tragedy and they sought this vent for their olings. Three men from the wreck, including Commander Wann, were taken to the Royal Infirmary, where they were tended by doctors. The physicians port that Commander Wann's conition is extremely grave. He was badly injured about the head. Lieut. G. W. Little died soon after Lleut. G. W. Little died soon after reached the hospital. A third member of the crew, num- Davis probably will recover. Plate glass windows in a score of ops in Hull were shattered by the tree of the explosion. Many houses ow considerable damage. FEARED BURNING CRAFT AWAY FROM CITY. The New York Herald correspondent informed that the airship had been the air thirty-four hours and was the way to Howden when the crash me. The heroic conduct of the commander is he'd here to be beyond it also. When he was freed with the tastrophe he bravely steered the turning ship toward the river. If he had wavered or lost his presence of and it would have descended on the town and probably have practically laid it in ruins. Commander Wann complished a magnificent deed. The city tonight is throbbing with sentiment as gangs of men are clear the broken wreckage and broken eyes from the main streets and board the windows that were smashed. The bodies which already have been e bodies which already have been to the mortuary and identified include Licut, Marcus Esterly, U. S. N. and Capt. Montague of the Royal Flying Corps. Several people who witnessed the disaster say that four parachutes were used but if this is correct the men who descended in this manner were not saved. A Mr. Ellis of the Minerva Hotel was on a tug off the plr when the explosion occurred. He says that the shock was severely foot on the river. Two water men who have been searching the wreckage have just come ashore. They say there cannot have been more than five survivors. Only one body was visible when they left and it was inextricable. The tile rose rapidly and at 8:30 o'clock every vestige of the airship had been obliterated. Crowds lingered along the waterfront until dark although all that could be seen was a buoy light marking the wreck. An engineer who watched the progress of the craft from its appearance over Hull until its end said that its behavior convinced him the fire broke out at the stern and that the subsequent nose dive was a maneuver to keep it from spreading. A few seconds later the ship broke in two. A large number of American and British airmen with naval ratings hurried here from Howden by motor to learn the fate of their friends and to study the wreck for the cause of the disaster. EYEW)NESS TELL STORY OF TRAGEDY The whole terrible incineration was wilt nessed from start to finish by David Ernest Philpson of Birmingham, who told the story to the correspondent of The New York Herald in the following words: "I was just in front of the Great Central Railway offices perhaps 340 yards from the pier. About half past 5 o'clock the noise of engines caused me to look upward and there coming through the clouds was the huge alt ship. She fell into clear view perhaps 1,000 feet up and seemed to be running perfectly. What a beautiful object,' was my remark to a bystander. Then almost immorally—two minutes after I had first seen her—the aliph made a sudden dip, and I thought just for a moment that she was going to fly low so the inhabitants of the town might see her more distinctly. Almost at the same instant I saw her back crinkle in the middle like a piece of paper. "Good God! It's gone!" sprang from my lips, and in what seemed no more than a couple of seconds the airship broke in two and the engines seemed to drop into the river just underneath one after another. While the two parts were suspended in the air just like that at least one parachute detached itself from the air ship. There may have been more but I saw one open and begin a gradual descent. Fifteen or twenty seconds elapsed after the breaking of the ship when the front part exploded with fright@, force and a terrific flash of flame. Very soon afterward the back half of the airship burst with equal violence. "All that was left of the vessel fell flaming straight down from the sky on to the River Humber,where it sat like a mass of block smoke and fire. I saw one parachute rock under the force of the explosion and what looked like another fell on the Lincolnshire side of the river. The castastrophe was appaling in its sudden violence and oxent. The town was shaken by terrific explosions, and window glass seemed broken everywhere. A piece flying behind narcly missed me. For a moment it looked as if the burning airship would fall on the pier. I had a camera in my hand, but the shock, and suddenness of the white affair prevented me from using it until the airship had descended. Then I took three snap-shots of the big airship resting in the water. OUST PROFESSOR KENNEDY FOR LETTER TO ARKANSAS GOVERNOR. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced receipt of news that Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, and author of "The Voice of the Negro" had been expelled from his position because of a letter he wrote to the navor of Arkansas asking him to view the cases of the Negro farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the letter Professor Kerlin wrot in the Letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the Governor of Arkansas, he stated that the Negro farmers of Arkansas were the victims of peonage; that they had neither instigated nor be gun the riots as was shown in the trial before the Arkansas Supreme Court; that they had armed themselves only after being threatened and molested; and that the convicted Negro farmers had been tortured by whipping and an electric chair during their trials to make them testify as the white landlords wanted them to. "The time will yet come," said Professor Kerlin's letter when the world with full knowledge of this will be revoted by such Congo barbary. Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas "justice," Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute, asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the board of visitors thereupon passed another resolution depriving him of his professorship.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WHAT COL. KERLIN WROTE TO GOVERNOR McREA BE EFFICIENT AND SU Former V. M. I. Professor Lincoln Trials of Negroes to Congo Barbarity. Copy of the letter written by Colonel Robert T. Kerlin to Governor McRae of Arkansas, in reference to the execution of Negro participants in the Etna insurrection, the writing and publication of which was the basis of the action by the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, in dismissing Colonel Kerlin from the faculty, was received in Rtexmond last night. The letter was written May 25 and protested against the execution of the Negroes on June 10. "It is a deed to be contemplated with extreme horror" wrote Colonel Kerlin to Governor Mao Rae, "In the execution of those men, race is suffering crucifixion. I entreat you to take the matter to your private chamber and give it an hour's earnest consideration, as before the Eternal Judge." "Have these men been dealt with according to justice according to the principles of civilized and humane governments?" The writer then cited an article of Magna Charta and also to Article VII of the "Ball of Rights," which assures to every accused person "trial by an impartial jury," the right of witness in his behalf, and the assistance of counsel for his defense." Another article referred to forbids "cruel and unusual punishment." Colonel Kerlin then asked: "Can it be maintained that these men have been tried and sentenced according to the principles of these charts of our free government? I entreat, your Excellency to review the entire case with the utmost candor and absolute courage." "Consider first, the iniquities of the peonage system, which, as tenants and sharecroppers, these men were accused of conspiring to end. Those iniquities are partly known to the world, and are indisputable. As for instigating or beginning a riot, the evidence adduced in the case as tried before the Supreme Court of Arkansas abundantly and conclusively disproved that. It was not until they were threatened and molest that they armed themselves. That they should provide themselves with weapons and carry these to their meetings seems condemnatory. But consider the provocation. And were they as assured of the protection of the law? Not even in their church. Misguided and reprehensible to the point of madness may have been their action in arming themselves, but it was not criminal. "Consider, next, the cruelties to which the hundreds of Negroes, men and women were subjected who were herded into stockades or crowded in to lockups. The time will come when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity. THE DISCHARGE OF COLONEL KERLIN. Has it come to pass in Virginia hat a man must choose between the God given right of free speech and his job? Has it come to pass that an educator engaging in teaching Virginia youth in a school usually so broad-minded and progressive as the Virginia Military Institute must confine his vision to the pages of his text-books or within the walls of his study coom, during not to raise his voice in protest when he believes a great wrong is being done to a people still in the infancy of their freedom, or to aid in the solution of a racial problem that has rocked this nation to its foundations? It seems such a pass has been reached. For one man did so dare, and to day he finds himself without a postion discharged from this professorship at the Virginia Military Institute when he courageously refused to quit on request of the board of visitors. The man is Colonel Robert T. Kerfin. His offense consisted of writing a letter to Governor McRae, of Arkansas, protecting against the treatment of Negro defendants following the Dinea riots. His protest was based on constitutional grounds as well as upon those of a broad humanitarianism. He did no more than voice what was in the minds and hearts of farseeing men and women of both the North and the South, who envisage real conditions and conflicts above and beyond sporadic local outbreaks when inflamed minds engulf better judgment. Colonel Kerrin's offense in the eyes of the board of visitors lies in having "reflected upon the administration of justice in that State (Arkansas) and those upon whom the solemn duty rests of enforcing the laws therein." Thereby, he has, the board believes "rendered his further connection with the Virginia Institute undestrable" in that it would "prove harmful and detrimental thereto and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct." The country at large needs the cour ageously spoken-words of such men as Colonel Kerlin, who has studied the conditions which he, and thou- sands of others seek to ameliorate. It particularly needs them from Virginia where interracial relations are close to the ideal. States to the South of us and States to the north of us are looking to Virginia for guidance in the handling of the delicate race problem for here more than in any other state it has ceased to be a problem. And now Virginia through one of its famed institutions, answers the call for guidance by discharging one of its educators who is fitted lead, but who dared to insist on justice regardless of color. Unless there be reasons for the board's action which has not been given to the public, it must be pronounced narrow and provincial altogether unworthy of that broad and kindly leadership of Virginia among the States. There is danger that it will undo much that has been done in the promotion of interracial harmony and good understanding. (Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch, August 26, 1921.)

Hull, England, Aug. 24.—The giant dirigible ZR-2, while flying over the heart of this city at 5:30 this evening burst into flames, bucked and broke in two in midair. Then, after two terflying explosions which shook Hull, he dropped into the River Humber and forty-four of the forty-nine persons aboard went to their deaths.

The whole thing lasted only five six minutes. Soon after the shattered airship truck the water all sorts of tugs and pats put off to render what assistance they could. Tens of thousands of persons flocked to the piers, hundre of conveyances from all parts of the ty drove to the riverside and motor and horse drawn ambulances are rushed there. About fifteen minutes after the ZR-fell to the river the few survivors were brought ashore. As they came on the Victoria pier into Neptune erect the silent, surging, crowd rats a cheer. The people had seemed supefied by the horror of the tragedy and they sought this vent for their colings. Three men from the wreck, including Commander Wann, were taken to the Royal Infirmary, where they were attended by doctors. The physicians sport that Commander Wann's condition is extremely grave. He was fully injured about the head. Lleut. G. W. Litle died soon after reached the hospital. A third member of the crew, man-Davis probably will recover. Davis probably will recover. Plate glass windows in a score of ops in!all were shattered by the tree of the explosion. Many houses ow considerable damage. FEDRED BURNING CRAFT AWAY FROM CITY. The New York Herald correspondent informed that the airship had been the air thirty-four hours and was the way to Howden when the crash me. The heroic conduct of the commander's he'd here to be beyond all raise. When he was freed with the tastrophe, he bravely steered the ning ship toward the river. If he wavered or lost his presence of and it would have descended on the town and probably have practical aid it in ruins. Commander Wann complished a magnificent deed. The city tonight is throbbing with sitement as gangs of men are clear the broken wreckage and broken from the main streets and board the windows that were smashed. The bodies which already have been to the mortuary and identified include Lieut. Marcus Esterley, U. S. N. and Capt. Montague of the Royal Flying Corps. Several people who witnessed the disaster say that four parachutes were used but, if this is correct the men who descended in this manner were not saved. A Mr. Ellis of the Minerva Hotel was on a tug off the pler when the explosion occurred. He says that the shock was severely fou on the river. Two water men who have been searching the wreckage have just come ashore. They say there cannot have been more than five survivors. Only one body was visible when they left and it was inextricable. The tile rose rapidly and at 8:30 o'clock every vestige of the airship had been obliterated. Crowds lingered along the waterfront until dark although all that could be seen was a buoy light marking the wreck. An engineer who watched the progress of the craft from its appearance over Hull until its end said that its behavior convinced him the fire broke out at the stern and that the subsequent nose dive was a manoeuvre to keep it from spreading. A few seconds later the ship broke in two. A large number of American and British airmen with naval ratings hurried here from Howden by motor to learn the fate of their friends and to study the wreck for the cause of the disaster. EYEWEDNESS TELL STORY OF TRAGEDY The whole terrible incident was wilt nessed from start to finish by David Ernest Phipson of Birmingham, who told the story to the correspondent of The New York Herald in the following words: "I was just in front of the Great Central Railway offices perhaps 300 yards from the pier. About half past 5 o'clock the noise of engines caused me to look upward and there coming through the clouds was the huge alt ship. She fell into clear view perhaps 1,000 feet up and seemed to be running perfectly. What a beautiful object,' was my remark to a bystander. Then almost immortalately—two minutes after I had first seen her—the airship made a sudden dip, and I thought just for a moment that she was going to fly low so the inhabitants of the town might see her more distinctly. Almost at the same instant I saw her back crinkle in the middle like a piece of paper. "Good God! It's gone!" sprang from my lips, and in what seemed no more than a couple of seconds the airship broke in two and the engines seemed to drop into the river just underneath one after another. While the two parts were suspended in the air just like that at least one parachute detached itself from the air ship. There may have been more but I saw one open and begin a gradual descent. Fifteen or twenty seconds elapsed after the breaking of the ship when the front part exploded with frightful, force and a terrific flash of violence. Very soon afterward the back half of the airship burst with equal violence. "All that was left of the vessel fell flaming straight down from the sky on to the River Humber,where it sat like a mass of black smoke and fire. I saw one parachute rock under the force of the explosion and what looked like another fell on the Lincolnshire side of the river. The catastrophe was appalling in its sudden violence and extent. The town was shaken by terrific explosions, and window glass seemed broken everywhere. A piece flying behind narcly missed me. For a moment it looked as if the burning airship would fall on the pier. I had a camera in my hand, but the shock, and suddenness of the white affair prevented me from using it until the airship had descended. Then I took three snap-shots of the big airship resting in the water. OUST PROFESSOR KENNAN FOR LETTER TO ARKANSAS GOVERNOR. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced receipt of news that Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, and author of "The Voice of the Negro" had been expelled from his position because of a letter he wrote to the navor of Arkansas asking him to view the cases of the Negro farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the Letter Professor Kerlin wrot In the Letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the Governor of Arkansas, he stated that the Negro farmers of Arkansas were the victims of peonage; that they had neither instigated nor be gun the riots as was shown in the trial before the Arkansas Supreme Court; that they had armed themselves only after being threatened and molested; and that the convicted Negro farmers had been 'tortured by whipping and an electric chair during their trials to make them testify as the white landlords wanted them to. "The time will yet come," said Prof ssor Kerlin's letter when the world with full knowledge of this will be revealed by such Congo barbary. Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas "Justice," Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute, asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the board of visitors thereupon passed another resolution depriving him of his professorship.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WHAT COL. KERLIN WROTE TO GOVERNOR McREA BE EFFICIENT AND SU Former V. M. L. Professor Licensed Trials of Negroes to Congo Barbarity. Copy of the letter written by Colonel Robert T. Kerlin to Governor McRae of Arkansas, in reference to the execution of Negro participants in the Maine insurrection, the writing and publication of which was the basis of the action by the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, in dismissing Colonel Kerlin from the faculty, was received in Rtex mond last night. The letter was written May 25 and protested against the execution of the Negroes on June 10. "It is a deed to be contemplated with extreme horror" wrote Colonel Kerlin to Governor Mao Rae, "In the execution of those men a race is suffering crucifixion. I entreat you to take the matter to your private chamber and give it an hour's carnest consideration, as before the Eternal Judge." "Have these men been dealt with according to justice according to the principles of civilized and humane governments?" The writer then cites an article of Magna Charta and also to Article VII of the "Bil of Righty" which assures to every accused person "trial by an impartial jury," the right of witness in his behalf," and the assistance of counsel for his defense." Another article referred to forbids "cruel and unusual punishment." Colonel Kerlin then asked: "Can it be maintained that these men have been tried and sentenced according to the principles of these charters of our free government? I entreat, your Excellency to review the entire case with the utmost candor and absolute courage. "Consider first, the iniquities of the peonage system, which, as tenants and sharecroppers, these men were accused of conspiring to end. Those iniquities are partly known to the world, and are indisputable." As for instigating or beginning a riot, the evidence adduced in the case as tried before the Supreme Court of Arkansas abundantly and conclusively disproved that. It was not until they were threatened and molest they they armed themselves. That they should provide themselves with weapons and carry these to their meetings seems condemnatory. But consider the provocation. And were they as assured of the protection of the law? Not even in their church. Misguided and reprehensible to the point of madness may have been their action in arming themselves, but it was not criminal. "Consider, next, the cruelties to which the hundreds of Negroes, men and women were subjected who were herded into stockades or crowded in to lockups. The time will come when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity. THE DISCHARGE OF COLONEL KERLIN. Has it come to pass in Virginia hat a man must choose between the God-given right of free speech and his job? Has it come to pass that an educator engaging in teaching Virginia youth in a school usually so broad-minded and progressive as the Virginia Military Institute must confine his vision to the pages of his textbooks or within the walls of his study room, during not to raise his voice on protest when he hooves a great wrong is being done to a people still in the infancy of their freedom, or to aid in the solution of a racial problem that has rocked this nation to its foundations? It seems such a pass has been reached. For one man did so dare, and to day he finds himself without a postion discharged from his professorship at the Virginia Military Institute when he courageously refused to quit on request of the board of visitors. The man is Colonel Robert T. Kerfin. His offense consisted of writing a letter to Governor McRae, of Arkansas, protesting against the treatment of Negro defendants following the Dline riots. His protest was based on constitutional grounds as well as upon those of a broad humanitarianism. He did no more than voice what was in the minds and hearts of farseeing men and women of both the North and the South, who envisage social conditions and conflicts above and beyond sporadic local outbreaks when inflamed mindsongf better judgment. Colonel Kerlin's offense in the eyes of the board of visitors lies in having "reflected upon the administration of justice in that State (Arkansas) and those upon whom the solemn duty costs of enforcing the laws therein." Thereby, he has, the board believes "rendered his further connection with the Virginia Institute undesirable" in that it would "prove harmful and detrimental thereto and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct." The country at large needs the courageously spoken-words of such men as Colonel Kerlin, who has studied the conditions which he, and the ends of others seek to amend, particularly needs them from Virginia in where interracial relations close to the ideal. States to the South of us and States to the north of are looking to Virginia for guidance in the handling of the delicate race problem for here more than in other state it has ceased to be a problem. And now Virginia through one of its famed institutions, answer the call for guidance by discharging one of its educators who is fitted to lead, but who dared to insist on his treason regardless of color. Unless there be reasons for the board's action which has not been given to the public, it must be nominated narrow and provincial altogether in favor of that broad and kindly leadership of Virginia among the States. There is danger that it will undo much that has been done in the promotion of interracial harmony and good understyling. (Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch, August 26, 1921.)

OUST PROF KERLIN FOR LETTER TO ARKANSAS GOVERNOR The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces receipt of news that Robert T. Kerlin professor of English at the Virginia Military Institute, and author of 'The Voice of the Negro,' had been expelled from his position because of a letter he wrote to the Governor of Arkansas asking him to review the cases of the Negro farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the Governor of Arkansas, he stated that the Negro farmers of Arkansas were the victims of peon age; that they had neither instigated nor begun the riots as was shown in the trials before the Arkansas Supreme Court; that they had armed themselves only after being threat ened and molested; and that the convicted Negro farmers had been tortured by whipping and an electric chair during their trials to make them testify as the white landlords wanted them to. 'The time will yet come,' said Prof. Kerlin's letter 'when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo harbility.' Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas' justice,' Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute, asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the Board of Visitors thereupon passed another resolution depriving him of his professorship. TRENTON MAYOR TO SUPPRESS KU KLUX KLAN. The Nation Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York today made public a letter sent to a colored posse of the American Legion, Mitchell Davis Post, 182 by the Mayor of Trenon, N. J., in which that official stated he would take all possible action to thwart the progress of the Ku Klux Klan. The Letter reads as follows: "I wish to take this occasion of acknowledging the letter of August 6th sent to me by the committee of the Mitchell Davis Post, No. 182, protesting against the organization of a branch of the Ku 14 ux Klan in this city. "In reply to your letter I wish to advise your committee that as long as I remain Mayor of the city of Trenton I will take every possible action to prevent the usurpation of any citizen's rights and privileges, regardless of race, creed or color. Likewise, I shall use all my official power to thwart the progress of any organization designed to upset the friendly relations that exist in Trenton between our white and colored citizens. I am strongly against the promotion of any agency that may create interracial dis trust or friction and your committee may rely upon my active support at all times to prevent the fomenting of such a condition in Trenton. "This is my position and if you care to give this letter to the public press you are at liberty to do so. Very truly yours, FREDERICK W. DONNELLY. G. U. O. O. F. MEETS G. U. O. O. F. MEETS (Continued from First Page.) the streets along the line of march to witness what is said to be the greatest and most beautiful ever seen in the city. The parade moved from the corner of Fourth Avenue and Park Street N. W., headed by the mounted police, followed by Brigadier General W. B. F. Crowell, his Adjutant, Col. H. N. Hays and the Commanders of Regiments A and B, Col. Thomas B. Slater and Col. Sandy Miller. The Roanoke Band followed the Staff. Then came Lt. Col. Louis S. Myers in command of the various Patriarchies in line. After the uniform division came the drum corps and the local Lodges and visiting delegates under the command of P. N. F. George Robinson. Then the Grand Officers of District Grand Lodge and Grand House hold in autos. The Major General and his Adjutant, Col. Jerry Smith of Newport News in a beautifully decorated car, were just in the lead of the Brigade Staff. The parade closed at the City Auditorium. The competitive drill followed in a short time. Col. Miller of Nofolk, Capt. Smith of Baltimore and Capt. Galus of Washington were the judges and after one of the most spirited drills seen in years they announced at the banquet, in the Auditorium that night, that Georgetown had won first prize and Alexandra the second. The balance of the week took up the business of the Grand Household and the Grand Lodge, which closed Thursday night, all voting Roanoke to really be a Magic City. Officers of the D. (C). Lodge were all retained, as here shown: Grand Master, Major General R. T. Stewart, Newport News; Deputy Grand Master, Brigadier General. W. B. F. Crowell, Roanoke; Grand Secretary, Prof. A. T. Shirley, Herndon: Grand Treasurer, T. S. Bagnall, Norfolk; Grand Director, Rev. J. H. Binford Richmond; Grand Auditor, F. D. Banks, Hampton. Richmond was selected as next place of meeting ROANOKE PLEASED Roanoke feels highly honored to have the first Brigadier General in the history of the order, to be one of her most deserving sons. This is the first brigade to be formed and Roanoke gets the honor of having the first Brigade Commander. Gen. Crowell has served for many years as Major of the First. Battalion and before that time was Chief of Staff of the First Regiment under Col. Stewart, Roanoke feels that this honor is much deserved and they are very proud of this honor coming to the city as we feel that all honors coming to one of Roanoke's representatives is like wise an honor to the city and we thank you and we hope you will come again. EDITOR MITCHELL. (Continued from First Page) he said and your boys can stay in there if they desire.' They desired to stay there as they did not wish to be separated and we thanked Mr. Jackson for his kind offer. THAT 'THURTY_FIVE' MILE TRIP We took luncheon though with him and his Madame. Then we returned to the Hughes' mansion. Here every modern convenience was in evidence. His parlor and dining room were scenes of loveliness and the yards, both back and front, were a virtual Garden of Eden. We ate black berries the next morning picked from the bushes of this remarkable city residence. The building is in a 'blind' street and gives a privacy not secured in those of the other kind. We talked of old times. 'Mr. Jackson spoke to me about asking you to go after his children in camp about thirty-five miles from here,' said Dr. Jefferson that night. I told him that he would go if Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Hughes would go along. Mr. Jackson, after much effort had succeeded in getting his two girls in this camp and excepting one belonging to the cook, they were THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the only colored girls in the camp. I talked with Robinson and we decided to make the trip. I had not counted on the baggage of a young girl, when I made the offer. I left Ernestus in Springfield to "keep house." The night passed quickly away. I awoke early and then I thought of the trip. I had slept soundly and had rested well. Soon after I arose Ernestus came suddenly into my room. He said, "Mr. Mitchell, somebody is after that steamer. Robinson heard somebody steaming up." ANOTHER STANLEY. I had heard the same sound. The car was before the door in the street and I had looked out when I heard it. I laughed at his fears. "Well, he said, 'that certainly is a steamer.' I agreed with him. I saw Mr. Hughes downstairs and asked him about it. 'Yes,' he said, 'Mr. Davis, one of my white neighbors, owns a steamer. He bought it last April. He has been out there this morning looking at your car. His car is on the other side.' This was interesting information and we went over there as soon as we had completed our toilet. Mr. Davis and his son were much interested and I entrusted the task to Robinson of showing them the improvements on the new car. THE MOHAWK TRAIL. We had breakfast. Mrs. Hughes does not like to have meals get cold and so we went post haste into the house where we set sown and after the religious preliminaries, we enjoyed one of the best breakfasts we had eaten since we entered New England. But, oh, about that trip up into the Berkshire Hills (mountains). They call them hills, but they are high mountains and the ascent of some of them along the Mohawk Trail are in the form of stops and are called Jacob's ladder. One of these hadders was said to be seven miles up and coming back, it was seven miles down. OPENING AT HARTSHORN Hartshorn Memorial College will open its doors for the next school year on Tuesday September 20. On that day it is expected that all new students will arrive and be prepared to take the entrance tests the following day. On Wednesday all old students should arrive and get ready for the meeting of their classes. There will be several new members of the faculty in place of those who will not return. New teachers with college training will make it possible to do the college trade work more successfully than it has ever yet been done. Hartshorn requires the completion of eight grades before entrance upon its Academic course, and this makes it a more advanced institution than those who require only seven grades before entering upon the High School course. With its superior advantages and superior teaching it offers to girls wonderful advantages, and this it does at a very slight expense to the students. The cost for board, room and tuition amounts to but four dollars a week and this can be paid monthly. Electric lights have been placed in all the rooms. The contributions of the people made this great improvement possible. To make it possible to carry on this superior institution northern people are contributing towards its support thirteenth thousand dollars a year. If it were not for this help the school could not be carried on unless the students were able to pay that much more in the forms of tuition. This would require the school to charge for tuition in its regular courses about $100 a year instead of the slight fee of $20 as at present. The past nine years have seen great advances at this old school which is about to open its thirty-ninth year. --- FULTON NOTES The Mt.
