THE PLATFORM a platform was unanimously ed and read as follows: Committee on Platform J. The one chairman reported as the term on the Republican party for state of Virginia the objections and plies, which were unanimously ed by the convention on motion J. R. Pollard under second of the Glen of the old District platform reads as follows: TLOF PLATFORM Republican party of Virginia, in convention assembled in the 5th Richmond, the 5th day on October 1923 having full failure assurance in the principles of Republism as declared by the founders of National Republican party, and to by such leaders as Lincoln Dick Douglas, and the great Roosevelt pledge undivided alike to those principles as the task of our splendid institutions, the only certain guarantee oferty and future security of all people of this country in the mature future that lives before us. FRANCHISE hold that under a government the sovereign powers is lodged people and exercised by them in the elective franchise; the vote is inseparable from the be voted for, and any attemptrate these perogatives is aons political heresay, contrarygeing of our Republic form orment and destructive of the old aims of a free people. history of the colored people ina for the past 20 years attestthat they are by no meansoffice seekers, and therefore,once as a political subterfugeconcement in the Republicin which it attempts byso to assure the white electorit is opposed to Negro officeand thereby in its efforts to [Name] Nominated Candidate for Governor by the Repub- 11can State Convention held in this city Monday, September 5th, 1921. gain the support of a certain element of the white electorate, offers a gratious insult to the colored electorate at large. Recognizing the justice of the rule of the majority under a Republican form of Government, we cheerfully subscribe to that rule, but at the same time we insist that the minority has rights which the majority under the Constitution, cannot deny and the citizen should not be deprived of any of the privileges vouch-safed him. By the fundamental law both State and National, because he belongs to a group numerically less than another group of our citizenry, or because of race, color, creed or religion. We cannot believe that the great body of the God fearing men and women whose labors and sacrifices have made Virginia a distinguished member of the family of States will subscribe to the sophistry that a class of our citizens who wrought mightily for her development for 250 years and that too, without a single pay day shall be denied the right part of the government and in party councils on the untenable grounds that another group of citizens pays into the coffers of the State the greater part of its revenue. We believe too that character and experience are necessary qualities to be possessed by anyone offering for the suffrage of the doctorate, but we fail to see how one can ever demonstrate the excellence of his character who never has been put to the test or gained experience in office which he is never allowed to hold. We condemn as utterly excessive and wilfully misleading the attempt to confuse the participation of any group of people in politics with a desire to change the social understanding always existing between the races in this State and while we respectfully COLORED and unreservedly demand to be treated as other citizens with all the rights, privileges and immunities accorded them, including the rights to vote and to be voted for still we present the insinuation coming from certain sources that we desire or intend in anywise to disturb the very cordial relations existing between the heat of both races in Virginia. And, in things purely political we desire nothing but a reign of righteousness and reason and we feel that no group of men and women holding to the faith of Republicanism should be allowed to dominate nor should it be excluded as a mere expedient to deceive the Democratic party to obtain votes. No mere expediency however urgent, the call for its exercise should be allowed to disturb the basic principle of the party. EDUCATION The Republican party believes to THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

A GRAND SESSION LOTT CAREY CONVENTION MEETS AT NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. Pres. Brown's Annual Address Many Thousand Dollars For Foreign Fields. Rev. Dr. Graham Makes Fine Report Delegates From All Eastern States Swarm Bethany Bapt. Church. FOUR (By N. B, Dodson.) NEWARK, N. J., September 3—The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention which convened in its annual meeting at the Bethany Baptist Church in this city Wednesdays, day morning, closed Saturday noon with an executive session of the Foreign Mission Board. The Rev. Dr. C. S. Brown of Winston, N. C. President, presided over the sessions with ease and much dignity and not one time did the delegates, who represented Churches in all the States from Alabama to New York, rise to a point of order or show the least disapproval of the President's ruling on any phase of the vital subject discussed The usual devotion services were heard and then the Rev. J. C. Love of Montclair, N. J. delivered the welcome address to the convention in behalf of the Baptist State Convention of New Jersey, of which he is the President. The welcome in behalf of the Bethany Church was delivered by W. H. Simmons, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman and C. M. Long were selected to respond to these welcome addresses which were hearty and very enthusiastically given. PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. President Brown in his annual message to the host of delegates in attendance emphasized their phenominal success and undring devotion to the work of foreign missions as was shown by the large sums of money and number of new members reported to the convention. He paid a glowing tribute to the corresponding secretary, Rev. Dr. A. A. Graham, Secretary A. W. Pogues and the other general officers. Dr. Brown reviewed the work of the year in detail and closed his inspiring and informing message with the following recommendations: First, in order to meet the growing demand of the work the president recommended that a commission be sent to Africa to study conditions and make recommendations. Second, for more effective work in Haiti that a training school for workers be established and operated. Third, that the building program be pushed forward eagerly, two new buildings at Alexander Mission, Brenesville, West Africa, headquarters provided for at Monrovia and suitable houses erected wherever the convention has workers. Fourth, that headquarters of the convention be established at Washington, D.C. and that a special committee be appointed to seek a way to have the ban against sending our missionaries into any country be lifted. REPORT OF DR. A. A. GRAHAM The annual report of Dr. A. A. Graham, corresponding secretary was clear and exhaustive and warmly received. Under ethic and moderation, Dr. Graham said, the field under control and observation is immense and the requirements are of very complex nature. It would be easy to err in judgment as to what in a given case might be best to do. Each portion of the field viewed separately would seem the most urgent and needy and each missionary regarded singly would seem the most important. It should also be mentioned here that the cash received by the finance committee at the annual session should not alone be deposited in the treasury but an itemized statement of this fund should be placed in the hands of the cor-responding secretary before the committee is discharged. The financial assets of the con_vention are altogether the most im_portant and vital of all the aspects of its work. One of the most obvious as well as one of the most needed in the whole situation is a systematic form of giving. In the local year $50,000 was given, 86 per cent of this amount was sent to the foreign field. THE WOMENS' AUXILIARY. The Womens' Auxiliary hold an overflow meetings at the New Hope Baptist Church. They not only spoke well and rendered intelligent reports but hold a large exhibit showing the needy children at the stations and in the territory of the workers at the various mission stations.

Johnson, Chairman of the Executive Board; Dr. W. H. Stokes, Editor of the Lott Carey Herald; Dr. G. E. Reed, Statistician; Dr. I. H. Randolph, Auditor.

R.P.N.LEPSO, Dept. 05, Milwaukee, Wis. REPRESENTATIVE (Continued from First Page) we take great pride in some of our institutions of learning especially the great University of Virginia and also Institutions of secondary and high learning we still desire to see the Colegio Department of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute restored to the end that Negro boys and Negro girls may receive the highest culture so very essential to progressive leadership. TAXATION We favor the gradual reduction of taxation and a more equitable plan of assoc-ssect so that all sections of the State shall bear their due proportions of the public debt and obligations. We shall, therefore urge that at the earliest possible moment the Governor be directed by law to appoint a non-partisan commission of two experts to study the whole question at affecting our public revenues and taxes and to recommend such legislation as will guarantee ample funds to prosecute the public business and to meet the obligations incurred by the state with absolute fairness to all classes of our citizens. PUBLIC ROADS In order to stimulate trade, encourage neighborly inter-course and spread general intelligence among the people we favor the building of the best highways through out the commonwealth and to that end we recommend the issuance of bonds of such small denominations as to enable the farm or, the laborer, and others of inconstable capital to participate in this patriotic enterprise. FARMERS. We believe that the State owes a special duty to the farmers and to that end we recommend legislation that will give the department of Agriculture larger powers and better facilities for rendering the farmers substantial aid and encouragement. NATURAL RESOURCES We believe in a full development of the natural resources of the State without regard to section, and to that end we pledge ourselves to use every power at our command to bring to the attention of the whole people the great opportunities the state offers through her mines, fertile fields, and the development of the Hampton Ronds to take her proper place in the front rank of the progressive states of the Union. COURTS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT We believe it is no less the duty of the citizens to respect and uphold the majesty of the law when honestly administered through the orderly proceedure of the Courts than it is for the Government to guarantee to one accused of crime a fair and impartial trial by jury of his peers. CAPITAL AND LABOR Recognizing both capital and labor as essential to the prosperity and perpetuity of our state, we heartily recommend that laws shall be so enacted as to discriminate against neither of those great factors but will justly and impartially injure to the good of both. PENSIONING SOLDIERS While a member of the State Senate the late Hon. A. W. Harris a colored Republican from the city of Petersburg voted for a liberal pension for the soldiers taking the high ground that a soldier under the command of superior officers and fighting for what he conceived to be a great prince should not go without support from the bounty of the state. We pledge ourselves therefore in the event of the election of of a republican ticket to it that all soldiers and their widows shall pass the few remaining days of their lives free from the sting of want. CONCLUSION Finally with a glorious history written in the past and with confidence in the future we submit our cause to the voters of Virginia, the man and the women, the white and the black, with the solemn promise that if elected to office we shall redeem every pledge herein made.

Al though it hax beon a fundamintn rule of conduct in dealing with this peculiar situation on tho segregation and separation question, providing tad, privileges granted to cotored eit. zens may be separate, but must he equal, Prosident Warren G. Harding and his frionds aro taking a dinmentri cally epposite position in this mat- ter.: He proposed in his accredited re- marks to pander to tho prejudices of the age by yielding to them. Ho would compromise with wrong, while ho kas the powor to enforce the de- crees of justies, This editorial com- munteation coming at this timo seems to Indicate to us that tho distinguish. ed politicians at Washington, who havo been posing as statesmen are hearing @ politiedl rumbling in tho distaneo amd realise that a politieal storm 1s rising. The Now York Age's doffarations are peculiar and aft: reading th utterances of a journal whielw only p few weeka ago udvixod ws in Virginia te put up a ticket ana if mecendary suppert the Democratic one, we are led te wonder what hos dota evar the dreams of this vory nbla editorial writer. a But, the Age says: ‘Whore ks boon somo hasty criticism im the Negre press of the manifesta: tions ef President Haniing’s policy in the matter ef appointments to offics, a3 Mt kns boom entlined, in its relation to the Noxroes of the South. The Age kon becm loth te helieve that tho President had deported from the posi- Uow eutlined in his various utteranc- os made om the race question durlag tie campaign, and while questiontag the wisdom of certain policies of x Llly-white tendency, initiated in Vir- sinia and Georgia, it has reserved its opiniion for a more definite oxpresston of tho intentions of the administra- tion. ‘Wr cannot seo and we cannot wuder stand why uny one should doubt :he| intontions of the Administration, It futrerts ita intention not to do any. thing to arouse race friction among the white people and then proceeds to take ‘an action and adopt a course, , whiel have a tendency te increasy Prejudice among the cotored people and to increase racial friction between Woth dlassea ef citizens, Tho colored folks ate “as mad, as hornets” and are saying things, whieh would not look wl in print and the white folks are’ \tisposod to retaliate and talk in a man ney, which {4 prodneing the very cori ditfon of affairs, which tho distingu- ished oecupant in the White Honse hoped to avoid. ‘Tho New York Age says further: ‘Wo havo been informed upon the Most relal'o authority that President Harding stil! moans to live up to the utterances made by him on the race question previous to his election as President, His chio? desire is not to intonsify racial projudices in. the South by his poliey toward tho Negro, especially in the matter of appoint- ments to office, but to better conditions by building up +a Republican pariy composed of tho loading citizens of both races. The deapseated color preja dice born of slavery, with which the whites of the South are so intense’y, imbued, according to the President's view of tho mattor, is only to be dis. pelled by building up such a party aw is outlined abovo. How can Presidont Warren G. Hard. ing live up to utterances made by him on the race question, which utterane- es pledgod him to accord to tho color: ed citizens of tho United Statos all of thoir rights under tho Constitution and then deny to them the enjoyment of one of the basic priviloges and prin ciples «uaranteed to them Ly the Statutos—tho right to hold office? Tho doop-soated color-projudice will take caro of itself. When it is nutured, cajdled and pandered to, it increases in volume and intensity. We want a - President at Washington, who wil! be office and not by the pleadings of Ure projudiced. We may not bo abla to Ket such w, President this four years, but wo kro praying Umit wo shall have such a one four years hence, AU of the Grover Clovolands are not | dead, we hope in the Demooratic Par ly and there may bo a resurrection 01 a Ulysses S, Grant some thine in the future in the Ropubgean Party. And again says Gio New York Age: Outstafiding whito men of the South with the cooperation of outstanding Nestor are expected to Join in buili ing up sucly an organization, which shall stand for the host thought aud yontiment of both races, In encouray ing such & movement, Ue President is propared to do all in'his power to ew son. racial prejudices and tw avotd siving riso to racin} friction, How can you lesen raco projudice between two individuals, when you pur one of those Individuals under tho arbitrary control of the other? How enn you take away vested rights ot “one olass of people und necord all cf the vested rights to another and then Fesson antagonism tiotweon the two? Is It humanly possible to do this and [is thoro an individual living or dev, Who at any thne had common sense, who would “down in his heart of uearts” believe that such a thing was humaity possible? Tho way to lessen racial feeling 16 ‘to deal Justly with a classes and ne- cord to eats thelr full measure of ‘rights and privileges guaranteed under ‘tho law. It continues: | In the matter of appointments to positions in the South, such as Judges and other offtely’s charged with the administration of the laws, tha Prosident will seck to place in offica the best men from the standpoint of enforcing the law with equal justice and impartiatity, ‘These appointees Are expected to he mon of character and standing, who will accopt office ‘only on tho understanding that the will earry out the polley outtined Ly tho administration. Such a policy is ox Pected to work ont to the ndvantuze of Negroes to largor degree than the dofing on tto them of local antagonism Uhat would arouse racial an‘agonism ‘and aggravate tho friction already ex isting. | They will carry out tho poltey all right as outlined by the President for ‘the President's policy 1s thelr pollcy that of keeping the white man on top and the black man at the bottom, with all of the handicaps and emb:r ‘radsmonts and other ‘obatructfons to Keep the Negro from cchioving his full measure of guarantecd citizen ship. The New York/Agé saya: | ‘Mhis doo not mean that Negroos will not be appointed to offices from tho South, as woll as in the North. As suranco has boon given that appoint: monds will be mado of Nogroes from jovory State. ‘Those from the South will most likely be located in Wash ton whore local sentiment will not be 80 strongiy against thelr apointmont In. the North appotntmonts will bo mado to local positions, where the numbers and Influence of the race may justify it. According to this plan the Nogroes of the Southland, where tinder tthe tutolage “and encouragement of the Southern white man, thoy have accum ulated millions of dollars worth ot property, paying taxes on thirty-clght m¥lion dollars worth’ of property fu Virginia alone are to be dented rights and yriviteges accorded to Ne- groes in Washington, who have the time of thoir lives eking out an extst- enco. It is all right to appoint thoso in Washington but it it is to be gaug- ed by racial friction, ‘fow will pass the gauntlet in that city. | From a personal obsorvation ani experience wo are of the opinion that race projudice is as rampant in Wash ington as In any city in the South. land. Since reading tho following de- elaration uttered in the White House. Wo believe that it Is more so. Prosidont Harding ia reported «to have mado the following statement to A dolegation of colored mon: | “Gentlomen, I am very thoroughiy conyineed in my mind as to the policy that Tam going to maugurate with roferenco to appomitments and — that is, I am not going to appoint any col- ored men to public office im the Sou ern States but there wil) be some ap pointments in tho norghern states, This thing called ‘Raco Pretuaioc’ ver, THE RIOHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Stk ee et en realy ee ae aoe em after office to provent the appomntme: t E Nogroes to any office which they would desire to hold. And again: If a suficient number of the leading men of tho South of both races, pos seged of intelligence, and character could bo Induced to enter heartily in to such an arrangement as this it might be that the sanguine expect: tions of the administration would be cs AL any rato, it fs certain that the exporiment will be tried. In max ing this trial of tho plan mapped out, ‘tho President may be counted upon as being insistent upon a square deal all around, It is up to the Soutir to demonstrate whother such a plan can be worked out in good faith, Hfow can you build wp a Republi- ecm Party in the South = or any where alse with a class of peophe, who do not believe inand who will not praz Uce the fundamental principles of the Repubtican party? How can you but'd upa Roman Catholic Church with mombors, who bitted:y oppose the dog mas of that Church and the sac-oa ediets of the Popo? How can you bulld up a Baptist Church with members of a Roman Catholic Church, — or members, who havo left the Roman Catholic Church and who yet bellove in tho fundamental teachings of that Chureh? How ean you build yp the kingdom of Heaven with inmates of tho kingdom of Heil? How can you make a cloth suit out of paper and how can you make glass bottles out of wood or wooden boxes of glass? Men, who in good faith attempted to do these things would bo regarded us fooling themse vos or as trying to fool some one olse. Fory our part, wa refuse and decline to be fooled. ‘Then foW'ows the crowning comment upoa this all important subject: The Precident belloves that the tra Aillonal projuudico of the South requir ¢s moro time and patience to work out, the proper relations of tho two races upon a basis of harmony and justice, He wants to help the Negro to rise to his proper position as a fw) fledged citizen, but ho Urinks that the best possible way to accomplish this js to g0 slowly and work for a lessening of the friction . Through! such a pot:- cy of conciliation and firmness, it is expected that the Republicans will be ‘able to build up a real party in the South, a thing that does not exist to day. It ts thought by those in tho President's confidence that this po'f- cy will work out to tho advantago of the race, rather than to its disadvant age. ‘ Wo aro so disgusted with this com. ment that wo find it diMcult ko djs- cues the subject with equanimity, It 1s @ case of insisting upon a square! deal in a-crooked transaction. It te alin to making an object white and black at the same time to going for- ward and moving backward at one and the same timo, to den'ing justice and injustion at one and the 6ame ‘ime, to accomplish in one brief movo ment a logerdermain feat, which has not heen brought about from the days of Solomon down to tho: present time. This jx an age of decopiion, of hypocrisy, of using words to decetvn, of trying to fool the people some of tho timo and then ending it up by foot ing the people all the time But. the New York Age and its able editor should know better and he should have tho nerve and the’ backbone to say 0. We would to God we knew the namo of his informant. He shou!d be Placed in a museum with the other curiosities. Time has made some of our colored folks simple, but they aro not a!1 of them fools. Selah. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. | The Republican State Convention, which aassembled at the True Re- formers’ Hall in this aity Monday Soptember 5, 1921 was ropresentative of the best Repubtican element in Virginia and tho delegates, who came wore fully imbued with the principles of that great organization. It was for tunate indeed that such a diplomatic and popular individual as W. B. FR. Crowell of Roanoke should have been elected permanent chairman. Ho had all matters woll In hand and the com mitlecs discharged thoir duties to the Satisfaction of all concerned. ‘To Attorney J. Thomas Newsome uf Nowport Nows, Va., is due the excel: Jont platform adopted by the Conyen tion. Tho plank pledging support of the Republicans of tho State to the pensioning of needy Confederates was ovidence that the people of Virginta, al of the people had forgotten tho ran cors of war and wero ready to raily for the betterment of conditions in Uris Grand Old Commonwealth. ‘The ‘naming of candidates was a. task ‘easily accomplished and they yank high in their respective communities among all classes of right-thinking citizens. We have heard no criticism of the action of tho Republican State Con tion in naming a ticket and these ele Gates must havo necessarily won tha ‘hearty approval of Hon. ©. Bascom Slomp, tho rogular Republican party chairman of the “Lily Whites” aut the Hon. Henry ‘W. Anderson, tha nomines of the “Lily White” conven: tion at Norfolk, ‘Tho latter is quot:d as having expressed his pleasire over the fact that tho colored peoplo were disposed to voto for another Lickot tu be namod by regular'y accredited Re publican Convontion, organized anc acting In accordance with the precepts and principles of that Republican Nat ional Convention.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 THE ADMINISTRATION POLICY. The New York Age in its issue of the 3rd inst., publishes, what appears to be an inspired article relative to the policy of the Republican Administration at Washington concerning American citizens, who happen to be of African descent, and who are now commonly known as Negroes. Although it has been a fundamental rule of conduct in dealing with this peculiar situation on the segregation and separation question, providing that privileges granted to colored citizens may be separate, but must be equal, President Warren G. Harding and his friends are taking a diamentrically opposite position in this matter. He proposed in his accredited remarks to pander to the prejudices of the age by yielding to them. He would compromise with wrong, while he has the power to enforce the decrees of justice. This editorial communication coming at this time seems to indicate to us that the distinguished politicians at Washington, who have been posing as saintsmen are hearing a political rumbling in the distance and realize that a political storm is rising. The New York Age's declarations are peculiar and after reading thir utterances of a journal which only a few weeks ago advised us in Virginia to put up a ticket and if necessary support the Democratic one, we are led to wonder what has come over the dreams of this very able editorial writer. But the Age says: There has been some heavy criticism in the Negro press of the manifestations of President Harding's policy in the matter of appointments to office, as it has been outlined, in its relation to the Negroes of the South. The Ago has been both to believe that the President had deported from the position outlined in his various utterances made on the race question during the campaign, and while questioning the wisdom of certain policies of Virginia and Georgia, it has reserved its opinion for a more definite expression of the intentions of the administration. We cannot see and we cannot understand why any one should doubt the intentions of the Administration. It matters its intention not to do anything to arouse race friction among the white people and then proceeds to take an action and adopt a course, which have a tendency to increase prejudice among the colored people and to increase racial friction between both classes of citizens. The colored folks are "as mad as hornets" and are saying things, which would not look well in print and the white folks are disposed to retaliate and talk in a manner, which is producing the very condition of affairs, which the distinguished occupant in the White House hoped to avoid. The New York Age says further: We have been informed upon the most reliable authority that President Harding still means to live up to the utterances made by him on the race question previous to his election as President. His chief desire is not to intensify racial prejudices in the South by his policy toward the Negro, especially in the matter of appointments to office, but to better conditions by building up a Republican party composed of the leading citizens of both races. The depressed color prejudice born of slavery, with which the whites of the South are so intensely imbued, according to the President's view of the matter, is only to be dispelled by building up such a party as is outlined above. How can President Warren G. Harding live up to utterances made by him on the race question, which utterances pledged him to accord to the colored citizens of the United States all of their rights under the Constitution and deny to them the enjoyment of one of the basic privileges and principles guaranteed to them by the Statutes—the right to hold office? The deep-seated color-prejudice will take care of itself. When it is nurtured, cajoled and pandored to, it increases in volume and intensity. We want a President at Washington, who will be guided by the law, by his oath of office and not by the pleadings of the prejudice. We may not be able to get such a President this four years, but we are praying that we shall have such a one four years hence. All of the Grover Cleveland are not dead, we hope in the Democratic Party and there may be a resurrection of a Ulysses S. Grant some time in the future in the Republican Party. And again says the New York Age: Outstanding white men of the South with the cooperation of outstanding Negroes are expected to join in building up such an organization, which shall stand for the best thought and sentiment of both races. In encouraging such a movement, the President is prepared to do all in his power to lessen racial prejudices and avoid giving rise to racial friction. How can you lessen race prejudice between two individuals, when you put one of those individuals under the arbitrary control of the other? How can you take away vested rights of one class of people and accord all of the vested rights to another and then lessen antagonism between the two? Is it humanly possible to do this and is there an individual living or dead, who at any time had common sense, who would "down in his heart of hearts" believe that such a thing was humanly possible? The way to lessen racial feeling is to deal justly with all classes and accord to each their full measure of rights and privileges guaranteed under the law. It continues: In the matter of appointments to positions in the South, such as judges and other officials charged with the administration of the laws, the President will seek to place in office the best men from the standpoint of enforcing the law with equal justice and impartiality. These appointees are expected to be men of character and standing, who will accept office only on the understanding that they will carry out the policy outlined by the administration. Such a policy is expected to work out to the advantage of Negroes to larger degree than the doing unto them of local antagonism that would arouse racial antagonism and aggravate the friction already existing. They will carry out the policy all right as outlined by the President for the President's policy is their policy that of keeping the white man on top and the black man at the bottom, with all of the handicaps and embarrassments and other obstructions to keep the Negro from achieving his full measure of guaranteed citizenship. The New York Age says: This does not mean that Negroes will not be appointed to offices from the South, as well as in the North. As assurance has been given that appointments will be made of Negroes from every State. Those from the South will most likely be located in Washington where local sentiment will not be so strongly against their appointment. In the North appointments will be made to local positions, where the numbers and influence of the race may justify it. According to this plan the Negroes of the Southland, where under the tutelage and encouragement of the Southern white man, they have accumulated millions of dollars worth of property, paying taxes on thirty-eight million dollars worth of property in Virginia alone are to be denied rights and privileges accorded to Negroes in Washington, who have the time of their lives eking out an existence. It is all right to appoint those in Washington but if it is to be gauged by racial friction, fow will pass the gauntlet in that city. From a personal observation and experience we are of the opinion that race prejudice is as rampant in Washington as in any city in the Southland. Since reading the following declaration uttered in the White House we believe that it is more so. President Harding is reported to have made the following statement to a delegation of colored men: "Gentlemen, I am very thoroughly convinced in my mind as to the policy that I am going to inaugurate with reference to appointments and that is I am not going to appoint any colored men to public office in the Southern States but there will be some appointments in the northern states. This thing called 'Race Prejudice' you cannot down by battling it, and the only salvation as I see it, for the colored man in the South is to fall into the ranks behind white leadership unfit to act acting through southern legislatures, work out his destiny. This is my policy and I am going to follow it, live or die, sink or swim. We link the opinion that no Democratic Governor in Virginia has ever given official voice to any such utterances. They generally regarded that their oath of office forbade it. Whoever wrote that editorial must have and these accredited words of President Harding in the archives. They are contrary to the opinion expressed in the columns of the New York Age. If President Harding is to gauge his appointments by the prejudices of the respective sections and not his oath in support of the guarantees of the Constitution there will be few presidential appointments in any section. The distinguished Obiont's utter- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ances are invitations to the seekers after office to prevent the appointment of Negroes to any office which they would desire to hold. And again: If a sufficient number of the leading men of the South of both races, possessed of intelligence, and character, could be induced to enter heartily in to such an arrangement as this it might be that the sanguine expectations of the administration would be realized. At any rate, it is certain that the experiment will be tried. In making this trial of the plan mapped out, the President may be counted upon as being insistent upon a square deal around. It is up to the South to demonstrate whether such a plan can be worked out in good faith. How can you build up a Republican Party in the South or any where also with a class of people, who do not believe in and who will not practice the fundamental principles of the Republican party? How can you build up a Roman Catholic Church with members, who bitterly oppose the dogmas of that Church and the sacred edicts of the Pope? How can you build up a Baptist Church with members of a Roman Catholic Church, or members, who have left the Roman Catholic Church and who yet believa in the fundamental teachings of that Church? How can you build up the kingdom of Heaven with inmates of the kingdom of Heil? How can you make a cloth suit out of paper and how can you make glass bottles out of wood or wooden boxes of glass? Men, who in good faith attempted to do these things would be regarded as fooling themselves or as trying to fool some one else. For our part, we refuse and decline to be fooled. Then follows the crowning comment upon this all important subject: The President believes that the traditional prejudice of the South requires more time and patience to work out the proper relations of the two races upon a basis of harmony and justice. He wants to help the Negro to rise to his proper position as a full fledged citizen, but he thinks that the best possible way to accomplish this is to go slowly and work for a lessening of the friction. Through such a policy of conciliation and firmness, it is expected that the Republicans will be able to build up a real party in the South, a thing that does not exist to day. It is thought by those in the President's confidence that this policy will work out to the advantage of the race, rather than to its disadvantage. We are so disgusted with this comment that we find it difficult to discuss the subject with equanimity. It is a case of insisting upon a square deal in a crooked transaction. It is akin to making an object white and black at the same time to going forward and moving backward at one and the same time, to dealing justice and injustice at one and the same time, to accomplish in one brief movement a legerdermain feat, which has not been brought about from the days of Solomon down to the present time. This is an age of deception, of hypocrisy, of using words to deceive, of trying to fool the people some of the time and then ending it up by fooling the people all the time. But the New York Age and its able editor should know better and he should have the nerve and the backbone to say so. We would to God we knew the name of his informant. He should be placed in a museum with the other curiosities. Time has made some of our colored folks simple, but they are not all of them fools. Selah THE REPURLICAN CONVENTION The Republican State Convention, which assembled at the True Reformers' Hall in this city Monday September 5, 1921 was representative of the best Republican element in Virginia and the delegates, who came were fully imbued with the principles of that great organization. It was for tenuate indeed that such a diplomatic and popular individual as W. B. F. Crowell of Roanoke should have been elected permanent chairman. He had all matters well in hand and the committees discharged their duties to the satisfaction of all concerned. To Attorney J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, Va., is due the excellent platform adopted by the Convention. The plank pledging support of the Republicans of the State to the pensioning of needy Confederates was evidence that the people of Virginia, all of the people had forgotten the rancors of war and were ready to rally for the betterment of conditions in this Grand Old Commonwealth. The maning of candidates was a task easily accomplished and they rank high in their respective communities among all classes of right-thinking citizens. We have heard no criticism of the action of the Republican State Convention in naming a ticket and these delegates must have necessarily won the hearty approval of Hon. C. Bascom Stemp, the regular Republican party chairman of the "Lily Whites" and the Hon. Henry W. Anderson, the nominee of the "Lily White" conven- tion at Norfolk. The latter is quoted as having expressed his pleasure over the fact that the colored people were disposed to vote for another ticket to be named by regular'y accredited Republican Convention, organized and acting in accordance with the precepts and principles of that Republican National Convention. It seems plain then that the Republicans of the State have done their duty and in doing it are applauded by the "Lily White" nominee, who seems to be very desirous of having only white votes in his effort to overthrow the Democratic machine in Virginia. Our past experience has led us to believe that the colored people of the State fare better under a simon pure Democratic administration than they do under the diluted Democracy of the Republican-Democratic variety. The main intention of this movement is to emphasize the fact that the real Republicans in this State both colored and white are determined to stand firm upon the foundation laid by the originators of that great political body. It is indeed strange that powerful financial interests have taken this method of showing their displeasure over existing conditions and are now first and forward in throttling an organization of their own creation. So far as we are concerned, we cannot see that the general public will be any better off by this change. We shall have a ticket of our own and when this political war is over, we hope to emerge from the debris unscarred by the conflict and in a condition to have again for rights denied. 1. Name: LET THEM FIGHT IT OUT. Colored people shouldn't now watch with interest the fight now being waged between the two wings of the Democratic Party in this State. Both are Democrats, but one has secured the machinery of the regular Republican organization and has taken pains to exclude the colored people even from the galleries, so to speak, for fear that some one will charge that the Party is still the Negro party. The headquarters have been removed to the palatial Jefferson Hotel, where "poor whites" and Negroes are not wanted. The "silk stocking" crowd is in absolute control. We advise our people to let these two factions of the Democratic Party fight it out amongst themselves. Let colored voters go to the polls and vote for their own candidates and let these white Democrats have an opportunity to find out which of the two factions is the stronger. If Col. Henry W. Anderson with the large treasury at his disposal put up by disgruntled Democrats can overthrow the Democratic machine in this State, let him make the effort. In naming Hon. H. D. Flood as chairman of the Democratic Party, the regular organization Democrats have done the best they could under the circumstances. The goal is the United States Senate and the legislature of Virginia. Securing of the latter gets the former. The ticket nominated at Richmond will give the white men their soul's desire, for they will virtually have a white man's primary at a regular election. Colored people generally and many white Republicans may vote the Republican ticket, while the Democrats will divide in voting for Hon. E. Lee Trinkle, and Hon. Henry W. Anderson. Give the white folks a chance colored folks, support your own ticket and let the world know that you have self-respect and can exercise it in a manner to entitle you to the admiration of the world.

CHRIS JACKSON INJURED REMARKABLE GUN PLAY IN BUSINESS DISTRICT About eleven o'clock Wednesday night, 6th inst. revolver reports we heard on Second Street, between G and Leigh Streets. Then two men were seen coming in the direction Clay Street. At first they applied to be dying in the air and then the general fusilisle followed. A police officer came upon the scene and he fired at the men with the reivers. As for the pedestrians, the sought shelter. The officer emptied his revolver and when seen was entering a residence on corner. A riot call was sent in police reserves were soon upon scene while people, who had sou shatter came out to survey the scene SEEKING CHRIS. JACKSON No one seems to have been shot by the bullets.

That "the Negro can earn a dollar in the South, but cannot spend it; and can spend a dollar in the North, but cannot earn it." is one of Booker T. Washington's most feeble phrases. This was an apt and accurate description at the time of its utterance. But social upheavals frustrate the wisdom of our profoundest philosophies. The war, robbed this sententious assertion of its erstwhile truth and oppositeness, the great educator had scarcely been dead a single year, when Negroes by the tens of thousands were rushing into the North to fill the vacuum in the 'labor market. The scale of wages seemed fabulous to the Negro workman, accustomed to the meager compensations in the South. The opportunity to earn and to spend were availed of with equal avidity. As a result of this labor demand, fully a half million Negroes were transferred from the South to the North. Economic opportunity constitutes the prevailing motive in the movement of human population. Human greed is too heavy for immediate concrete results to calculate the far reach social consequences that follow in the train of the introduction of strong, population for purposes of industrial and economic exploitation. The foreign in America, the Negro in the South, and the Japanese in Hawaii and on the west coast were introduced to fulfill urgent labor demands, but their permanent social adjustments constitute the grwth problems of our national experience. Fred Douglass used to say that wherever the Negro goes he takes him self with him. The suddo $_{\text{n}}$ injection of a half million Negroes into the north will tend to make the question of race adjustment a national, rather than a sectional problem. The various features of the problem will, palm new meaning and emphasis because of its widespread relationships. The educational significance of this northern movement of the Negro has hitherto received little or no attention, and yet it is calculated to be of the greatest significance in the educational life of the entire Negro race, and to influence the attitude of the whole nation. According to reports of the Census Office, in 1920 there were 1,550,754 Negroes in the North, giving a decennial increase of 472,418 over the census of 1910. The great bulk of Negroes in the North are found in the cities. The number of rural Negroes in the north states has been gradually diminishing for the past three decades. The northern Negro creates an urban rath or than a rural problem. ```markdown ``` Twelve of the cities show an increase of 329,430 or a growth of 70 per cent. While this rapid growth was due to special causes of limited continuance, yet the numbers are not likely to diminish, but will show substantial increase with the coming decades. (There are six cities in the U. S. with more than 100,000 Negroes all of which with the single exception of New Orleans are to be found north of the Potomac River. The border cities, Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Kansas City have separate colored schools, following the policy of the southern states. In the other cities on the list there is no legal scholastic separation of races. The city is the center of the educational life of the nation. The great systems of education as well as the great seats of learning are to be found mainly in the centers of population. A million and a half Negroes constituting 15 percent of the race, are thus brought in to intimate contact with the best educational facilities to be found anywhere in the world. In the South the Negroes are found mainly in the rural districts, where school facilities are more eager and inadequate and even in the large cities of this section the provisions for colored schools fall very fully of the up-to-date standards of a well ordered system. In speaking of the education of the Negro, we should always keep in mind the widely contrasted educational advantages of these two groups. Negroes in the North generally are admitted to all educational facilities provided for the general community, whether supported by public funds or based upon private foundation. The people of the North have devoted much of their resources and philanthropic energy to the education of the Negro in the South, while giving little or no consideration to the contingent of the race within their midst. The individual has been given an equal chance in the general education al provisions and has been expected to rise or fall according to the measure of his own merit. The rapidly increasing numbers focusing in the large centers of population will inevitably call attention to the special needs of this growing group separated in many ways from the life of the community of which they form a part. The colored children have not seemed overcrowder to avail themselves of the advantages provided for them. They have not felt the necessity of thorough educational equipment for the life tasks that lay within their reach. Being confined to the mental modes of service they have not in large numbers been inspired to enter upon the higher reaches of education demanded in the more exacting lines of service. The eagerness of the southern Negro for knowledge in the midst of manger facilities was in glaring contrast with the apathy of his northern brother surrounded by such great advantages. Until quite recently the fact of a colored student graduating from a high school in the North was so unusual as to demand general notice andattering comment. For the most part the colored youth who pushed their way through northern institutions of learning have been from the South with fresh incentive of the masses upon them. But as their numbers increase and concentrate in the larger centers, the circle of racial opportunity widens. The inspiration of racial life and uplift gives spurs to higher aspiration. The inherent needs and necessities of the masses create opportunities in the higher lines of leadership and service that demand the fullest educational equipment. Wherever the number of Negroes in a community is too small to create a center of racial life and activity there is apt to be shown a corresponding lack ambition and upward purpose on the part of colored youth. Wherever a handful of Negroes are gathered together in the North, there springs up a little church, which serves as an outlet for leadership and as a center of race aspiration. The largest Negro cities in the world are found in the North, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and Chicago contain each a sufficient number of Negroes to engage the highest human powers and faculties to answer the needs of so large number of human beings. The ever widening field invites the highest ambition of Negro youth to rise to the level of the opportunity that awaits them. In all of the northern cities the Negro in concentrated in segregated areas and districts. This residential segregation creates a demand for leadership and self direction. Large as his numbers seem, taken by themselves, the Negro constitutes only a small percentage of the total population except in several of the border cities. If they were evenly distributed throughout the white population they would be practically unnoticed as a factor in the general equation. One hundred and fifty thousand Negroes in New York in the midst of six million whites, if evenly diffused would count but one in forty, and would be a negligible entity in the general life of the metropolis. But a hundred thousand Negroes in Harlem constitute a city within a city. The racial needs of this large mass must be supplied by their own leadership, almost as if they constituted a separate community. Negro ministers, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers and business men must conform with reasonable approximation to the prevailing standards of the community. This opportunity gives incentive and ambition to the youth of the race to equip themselves with the highest educational qualifications. In most of the northern states primary education is compulsory, so that every negro child, in compliance with the law, must attend the public schools for a given period of years. In the near future we may expect that the Negro will approximate his full quota in high schools, normal schools; technical schools and colleges in the great centers of population where he is rapidly congregating. There were more than four hundred Negro graduates from high schools in the class of 1920 and more than one hundred graduates graduates from colleges and professional schools in the northern states. This indicates the rapid growth in enrollment of the Negro in secondary as well as in higher institutions. There were probably 500 Negroes enrolled in colleges and professional schools of the North during the past year. This educational awakening in the North but indicates what may be expected in the near future. The question naturally arises as to how far separate educational facilities will be deemed advisable for the Negroes in the northern cities as their numbers tend to increase. This is already a mooted question in such cities as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Chicago. In Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Kansas City, where separate colored schools are maintained, there is a much larger enrollment of colored pupils in the higher levels of instruction than in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, where the schools are mixed. The separate systems seem to invoke a keener incentive and zest. Will separate schools bring out the higher aspirations of the Negro and lead to the unfolding of his powers and possibilities? is the question countered by the query; Will not scholastic separation on racial lines vitiate the spirit of democracy and lower the standards of the less favored race? This controversy will doubtless engender great heat of feeling and animosity on part of both races. The final outcome should be determined in the light of the best good to the Negro as well as that of the community. The purpose of the schools is to produce good and useful citizens. This objective should transcend all the theoretical question of manner or method. And yet the great democratic ideal must be kept constantly in mind. While the mass of the race remains in the South, the educational center of gravity will be shifting toward the North. Ambitions youth will flock to the centers of the best educational advantage, regardless of national or racial border lines. Northern institutions are filled with white southern youth, because they find there at present better educational facilities than the South provides. They saturate themselves with the aims and ideals and acquire technical facilities of these great centers of learning, and carry the acquisition back for the assimilation of their own section. Negro youth will be actuated by the same impulse and purpose. Negro schools in the South have, so far, been planted and supported on the basis of the northern philanthropy. This philanthropy has concerned itself largely with Negroes in the southern states who have been suppressed below the level of educational opportunity and advantage. It has not contemplated that Negroes in considerable numbers would avail themselves of the best educational facilities afforded by colleges and universities of the North. It will be interesting to note the effect of this tendency upon the fate of the Negro's higher institutions of learning supported in the South on a philanthropic basis. Philanthropists are, naturally enough, disposed to place help where they deem it is the most needed. There is no par- ticular need to help the Negro in the can members. 'The way to stop it is for the colored race to put the seal of disapproval on the man who commits boys to vicit tree of knowledge which flourishes a vicious crime instead of protecting as "Old V. all about him. It is also natural him as has been done time and again' sung by those that philanthropy will be inclined to Mr. Byrnes asserted that passage of the Dyer bill would "require an army Arriving graduates to live and work among the masses in the South where the need is greatest. Negro students of county officials and the counties,' by virtue of Harvard, Yale, or Chicago do not make the same philanthropic appeal indulging in it yourselves." Mr. whip into sl as those in Atlanta, Fisk and Tus-Byrnes declared. "And this you do it gregation you pass this bill so clearly in viola, primaril There is also a reserved feeling that it might be well to encourage separate Negro institutions, in order to keep too large a number of Negroes from entering white universities. This feeling will doubtless injure greatly to the benefit of Negro schools in the South. It must be determined whether the northern universities are apt to impart to Negro students the social impulse and racial aspiration requisite to the best service of the race. These institutions are not adapted to the Negro's peculiar circumstances and conditions. They are founded and fostered to meet the needs, aspirations, and ambitions of the most favored white youth. The Negro must grasp the general aims and ideals and interpret and apply them to the situation and circumstances of his own race. The schools of the South will be patterned after those in the North. The less-developed always pay homage to the better-perfected standards. The Negro will gain acquaintance with the aims, ideals, and methods of the North, and will, perforce, exploit the attainment among his own people in the South. In the educational world the law of supply and demand is inexorable. The demand for Negroes in the higher levels of intellectual, moral, and social leadership in the North will be relatively small as compared with the larger field of the South. The incidental hardships and inequalities of the southern resime will be undergone in quest of a larger field for acquired attainment, quickened by sacrificial impulse of racial reclamation. Thus the northern movement of the Negro actuated by purely industrial and economic motives, will yield significant educational fruitage. Note—This timely article has been furnished by the Dean of the Junior College, Howard University, Washington, D. C. --- ANTI-LYCH BILL WILL PENALIZE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH LYCHINGS TAKE PLACE. Among those urging passage of the measure were Mr. Campbell of Kansas and Representatives Fess of Ohio, aut Ansorge of New York, Republiana, while those who spoke in opposition included Mr. Garrett and Representatives Pou of North Carolina; Bynes of South Carolina and Aswell of Louisiana Democrat. Mr. Fess declared that the bill was not aimed at the South, but was defined to deal effectively with male violence wherever it occurred. One or the most "Indescribable" lynchings had occurred in his own State, he added. Mr. Ansorge said passage of the Dyer bill would "forevermore whe the stain of lynchings from the pages of American history." On the other hand, Mr. Garrott asserted the measure should be entitled a "bill to encourage" criminal attacks and Mr. Pou said its purpose was to pay a political debt. Mr. Byrnes characterized the measure as a proposal which if enacted and held constitution al would prove ineffective while Mr. Aswell contended passage of the bill would have a tendency to increase rather than prevent ynchings. Representative Begg, Republican Ohio broke into the discussion to tell of the robbing of a bank in Cleveland. Citizens he said, turned out to apprehend the robbers and one of the handits was shot. "Under the terms of this bill," he asked Mr. Campbell "would that county be required to forfeit $10,000 because a criminal met death at the hands of a group of citizens?" "I'm not prepared to answer that question," replied Mr. Campbell. When Representative Kelley, Republican, Michigan, followed with a query as to whether the bill would pom alize a county which did its best to prevent mob violence, but failed Mr. Campbell said application of the bill's various provisions would have to be determined during the debate. Representative Bankhead, Democrat Alabama inquired what would be gain ed by passage of the bill transferring jurisdiction to the Federal courts. "Aren't judges and jurors in State and Federal courts actuated by the same desire to enforc laws impart' ally?" he asked. During his attack on the bill, Mr. Garret declared: "When you place the idea in the hands of a few Negroes—comparative lye few—the idea that somehow someway they will be less subjected to punishment for crimes against women if they are to be dealt with by the Federal court, you are but inviting an increase in the commission of such crime. This bill simply will encourage the very crime you are seeking to put down. "You do not know what it means to live in a section where, because of the acts of a few of a race a man's wife dare not travel alone; you do not know that over the head of a daughter unprotected from the vicious, hangs the sword of Damocles. DECLARES NOT JUSTIFABLE "No political exigency can justify passage of this bill. Surely you must realize that if you can single out the crime of lynching, you can place with in the purview of the Federal court the crimes of murder, assault and battery, theft—in fact, every crime and cut the Constitution adrift in this mans demeanor known to law. If you manner you will not stop the exigency, but will set it afflict, on the uncharted sea until in the end you will see the wreck of the greatest government on earth." Mr. Pou was vigorously applauded by Democrats when he declared that Southerners had been doing their best to wipe out lynching. "We're as much opposed to lynching as you are. Mr. Pou told Republi- can members. "The way to stop it is for the colored race to put the seal of disapproval on the man who counts a vicious crime instead of protecting him as has been done time and again." Mr. Byrnes asserted that passage of the Dyer bill would "require an army of Federal police, invading the States to secure evidence against lynchers, county officials and the counties." "You cannot cure lawlessness by indulging in it yourselves," Mr. Byrnes declared. "And this you do if you pass this bill so clearly in violation of the Constitution of the United States as it has been construed to this date by the Supreme Court. SAM McVEY DEAD Now York, December 23.—Sam McVoy, colored heavyweight pugilist, died today in a local hospital, a victim of pneumonia. EMOTIONAL DRAMA FANS MAY HAVE THEIR FILL. (Richmond.4 Times Dispatch Dec. 27) Those lovers of emotional drama, who saw "Emperor Jones" at the Academy yesterday must have had their fill. As an exposition of elemental emotions, of morbid hallucinations, of psychological struggle, nothing within recollection equals it. In novelty of presentation, this drama of 'O'Neill's is without a peer. Moreover, its one-man cast, for such it really is, is set it apart. In eight scenes, marvels of stagecraft, and consuming about ninety minutes in its presentation, "Emperor Jones" is about the strangest play an Academy audience ever saw. The various forest settings, of tropical type, make up a scenic display of remarkable interest. Each successive scene last night was greeted with a salvo of applause. Lighting effects, coloring, rapidity of changes, all these emphasized the ingenuity of the Provincetown Players and their scenic designer. Mr. Throckmorton. The psychology of the Negro is laid before the audience with marked fidelity, Charles S. Gilpin, as Brutus Jones has created a remarkable role. Its success in New York and elsewhere has been very great. Whatever questions may arise as to its propriety in Southern cities, and some have been heard, the dramatic art of Gilpin must be recognized. From the first scene, when he indulges in boasting and braggadocio, through the (successive development of the play, wherein he has exhibited the depths of craven and abject fear, solely induced by his own mind, Gilpin acts with great ability. The story has been told heretofore, Briefly, this ex-Pulman porter, escaped convict and murderer, has made himself "Emperor" of a West Indian island; he has extorted money from his subjects, hoarded it, and has made preparations for his escape when it shall become evident that his Negro subjects have endured his reign sufficiently long. The time comes when they rise against him. The beating of drama is heard faintly, increasing gradually, which rhythm mic drum beat continues through the entire action. Jones starts out to walk through the forest, equipped in full uniform, with six-shooter 'revolver', loaded with one silver bullet to end his own life, the remaining charges of lead for his defense. 'He loses his way, gradually discards his uniform, reenacts his old crimes, shown in tableau before the audience, until he finally returns after a night of wandering, to the precise point where he entered the forest, there to be shot by a group of his 'own former subjects. The play of "Emperor Jones" is preceded by a short, two-act play called "Suppressed Desires," a satire of phychoanalysis. This is cleverly presented by a cast of three, comprising Elizabeth Brown, Florence Berunsure and Coel Clovelly. J. G. H. --- WEEK OF JUBILEE AT UNION. Plans Laid for Basketball and Baseball. For the second time in four years Union is the champion of the Colorea Inter-Collegiate. Athletic Association Under the leadership of Coach Mastin, former All-American half-back of Norwich University, the fast machine with perfect precision swept down up on its rivals, vanquished them and left a train of shattered wrecks behind. Because of these triumphs over A. and T., Morgan College, Hampton, St. Paul, Va. Theological Seminary and Lincoln, songs of cheer have filled the campus since Thanksgiving day when Hampton the last of the opponents was downed with a crushing defeat. Last week was one of success and formal jubilee at Virginia Union. The School gave the team which brought honor and renown a banquet in Martin E. Gray Refectory. At the banquet the eloquent orations which were delivered and the songs of the fair ones from the city were evidences of the town folk's esteem as well as the school's recognition of the team's valor. The fans who have seen the Red and Steel aggregation $ \mathrm{u_{0}} $ the grid iron have undoubtedly admired its sportmanship and fairness as well as its skill in manipulating the pigskin. It is regretted very much by Union men that the Lincoln-Union game resulted as it did. Despite this regret every true Unicornite will do all in his power to counteract current propaganda which seeks to poison public sentiment against their Alma Mater. Altho the official score $ \mathrm{o} $ of the game was 1 to 0, the public if it wishes to be fair must Lincoln to account for two things, that occurred in the game. HATS OFF TO COACH MARTIN Too much honor cannot be given. Coach H. D. Martin, noted star of New England, for his accomplishments in athletics at Union this season. One very conspicuous evidence of Mr. Martin's desire to put across a winning team was shown by his success in get ting the fair damselflies of the city to turn out in great numbers to cheer his boys to victory. Probably such songs as "Old V. U. U. is 'er Victorious" sung by those beautiful girls helped many a lad to stick to the bitter end. Arriving at Union at a date when Howard Lincoln, and Hampton had practised for five weeks, Mr. Martin by virtue of his knowledge of the rough and tumble game was able to whip into shape a championship aggregation from a squad which consisted primarily of raw recruits. Now that the football season is over Mr. Martin¹ is formulating plans for an in vincible basketball team for the rest of the winter and a winning baseball team for the spring. With such an all around athletes as Allen Jackson and Pope Gregory, the fans will not be wrong in expecting Cohce Martin¹ to develop a basketball team equally as meritorious and strong as this football team of the season just closed.

Those wishing to better understand recent race riots, the Negro in politics and in industry, should get Mr. Soligmann's book. Especially are the Elaine cases in Arkansas treated in careful detail. Those familiar with these cases known that they arose out of a condition of peonage and we note with interest the definition of peonage quoted by Mr. Solignann as given by Justice Brewer. "Wherever we have compulsory service for debt, we have peonage, it matters not by what meth od the result is obtained." Under this definition we have thousands of cases of peonage among the Negroes who are doing compulsory service. The fate of the Elaine men condemned to death is thus of supreme importance to the Negroes of the United States as their acquittal would be a death blow to peonage. Beside the important facts in the book there is a great deal of delightful discussion of the Negro question. Lothrop Stoddard's "The Rising Tide of Color." (which we shall review later) has started many people thinking along lines of color ascendency. Mr. Selligmann touches upon the anthropological side of the Negro question, showing how the United States has taken up the idea promulgated by the Germans of Anglo Saxon supremacy and gone them one better. He has an entertaining time commenting on a book by William Benjamin Smith of Tulane University called "The Color Line." Indeed he gains the same entertainment with this book that Macauley had with the poems of Robert Montgomery. Those who recall Macauley's essays will remember he made famous a very obscure poet by condemning (him. In the same way, Mr. Seligmann brings again to light an obscure southern book, which declares that "flood and fire, fever and famine and the sword—even ignorance, indulence and carpet baggery, the South may endure and onque; while her blood remains pure; but once taint the well-spring of her life and all is lost—even honor itself. It is in his criticism of what he calls the South's color psychohosis, that Mr. Seligmann surpasses himself. We cannot remember ever before reading such clever satirical comment on the South's illogical treatment of the Negro question. "The Southern white man puts certain questions beyond the bounds of discussion. If they are pressed he will fight rather than argue. What to many educated and cultured persons of the North seems arguable and debatable, subject to critical examination and referable to scientific observation, to the Southern white man is as scared as religious dogma and is defended as passionately." It is against this dogmatism that Mr. Seligmann writes. His book ends with a demand for exact information on the Negro question in the United States. It might well be used today as a pamphlet to urge upon Congress the appointment of the Race Commission recommended by the President in his first message to Congress.—A commission which should report upon the conditions under which the Negroes live in the United States. Auto Gasses May Cause Poisoning. Richmond, Va. Dec. 21. - Recent investigations made by the United States Bureau of Mines and the Public Health Service have shown that the exhaust gasses from automobiles frequently contain sufficient carbon monoxide to cause symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. These experiments were conducted as a consequence of several deaths having been reported from garages, the victims apparently having died from carbon monoxide poisoning. The experiments show that this was probably the real cause of death. The State Board of Health, therefore issues a warning to automobiles and especially to those who operate garages. If the following five precautions are taken; there will be no danger; if they are neglected a death may ensue: 1. Always open the garage door before starting the engine. 2. Do not allow the engine to run for any length of time in a closed garage. 3. Do not work near the exhaust of a running automobile engine. 4. Special precautions as to ventilation are necessary when in garage pits. 5. When the exhaust is used for heating a closed car the system must be free from leaks. To these instructions, the State Health Commissioner adds this bit of advice. When a person is overcome by gasses from automobile engines or any other gasoline engines, he should be removed at once to the fresh air; and methods used in resuscitating for drowning should be employed until a physician can be secured. These methods consist in the main of pumping with the arms and alternately pressing and releasing the lower portion of the chest until natural breathing is restored. $2.00 sent to this office will place The Planet in your home EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH (KELLY MILLER.) That "the Negro can earn a dollar in the South, but cannot spend it; and can spend a dollar in the North, but cannot earn it." is one of Booker T. Washington's most felicitous phrases. This was an apt and accurate description at the time of its utterance. But social upheavals frustrate the wisdom of our profoundest philosophies. The war, robbed us associations assertion of its erstwhile truth and oppositeness, the great educator had scarcely been dead a single year, when Negroes by the tens of thousands were rushing into the North to fill the vacuum in the labor market. The scale of wages seemed fabulous to the Negro workman, accustomed to the meager compensations in the South. The opportunity to earn and to spend were availed of with equal avidity. As a result of this labor demand, fully a half million Negroes were transferred from the South to the North. Economic opportunity constitutes the prevailing motive in the movement of human population. Human greed is too hardy for immediate concrete results to calculate the far reaching social consequences that follow in the train of the introduction of strong population for purposes of industrial and economic exploitation. The foreigner in America, the Negro in the South, and the Japanese in Hawaii and on the west coast were introduced to fulfill urgent labor demands but their permanent social adjustments constitute the growth problems of our national experience. Fred Douglass used to say that wherever the Negro goes he takes him self with him. The sudden injection of a half million Negroes into the north will tend to make the question of race adjustment a national, rather than a sectional problem. The various features of the problem will, calm new meaning and emphasis because of its widespread relationships. The educational significance of this northern movement of the Negro has hitherto received little or no attention, and yet it is calculated to be of the greatest significance in the educational life of the entire Negro race, and to influence the attitude of the whole nation. According to reports of the Census Office, in 1920 there were 1,550,754 Negroes in the North, giving a decennial increase of 472,418 over the census of 1910. The great bulk of Negroes in the North are found in the cities. The number of rural Negroes in the northern states has been gradually diminishing for the past three decades. The northern Negro creates an urban rath er than a rural problem. 1 1 0 Twelve of the cities show an increase of 329,430 or a growth of 70 per cent. While this rapid growth was due to special causes of limited continuance, yet the numbers are not likely to diminish, but will show substantial increase with the coming decades. There are six cities in the U. S. with more than 100,000 Negroes all of which with the single exception of New Orleans are to be found north of the Potomac River. The border cities, Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Kansas City have separated colored schools, following the policy of the southern states. In the other cities on the list there is no legal scholastic separation of races. The city is the center of the educational life of the nation. The great systems of education as well as the great seats of learning are to be found mainly in the centers of population. A million and a half Negroes constituting 15 per cent of the race, are thus brought in to intimate contact, with the best educational facilities to be found anywhere in the world. In the South the Negroes are found mainly in the rural districts, where school facilities are meager and inadequate and even in the large cities of this section the provisions for colored schools fall woefully short of the up-to-date standards of a well ordered system. In speaking of the education of the Negro, we should always keep in mind the widely contrasted educational advantages of these two groups. Negroes in the North generally are admitted to all educational facilities provided for the general community, whether supported by public funds or based upon private foundation. The people of the North have devoted much of their resources and philanthropic energy to the education of the Negro in the South, while giving little or no consideration to the contingent of the race within their midst. The individual has been given an equal chance in the general education al provisions and has been expected to rise or fall according to the measure of his own merit. The rapidly increasing numbers focusing in the large centers of population will inevitably call attention to the special needs of this growing group separated in many ways from the life of the community of which they form a part. The colored children have not seemed overangered to avail themselves of the advantages provided for them. They have not felt the necessity of thorough educational equipment for the life tasks that lay within their reach. Being confined to the mental modes of service they have not in large numbers been inspired to enter upon the higher reaches of education lemunted in the more exacting lines of service. The eagerness of the southern Negro for knowledge in the midst of manger facilities was in glaring contrast with the apathy of his northern brother surrounded by such great advantages. Until quite recently the fact of a colored student graduating from a high school in the North was so unusual as to demand general notice andattering comment. For the most part the colored youth who pushed their way through northern institutions of learning have been from the South with fresh incentive of the masses upon them. But as their numbers increase and concentrate in the larger centers, the circle of racial opportunity widens. The inspiration of racial life and uplift gives spurs to higher aspiration. The inherent needs and necessities of the masses create opportunities in the higher lines of leadership and service that demand the full educational equipment. Wherever the number of Negroes in a community is too small to create a center of racial life and activity there is apt to be shown a corresponding lack ambition and upward purpose on the part of colored youth. Wherever a handful of Negroes are gathered together in the North, where springs up a little church, which serves as an outlet for leadership and as a center of race aspiration. The largest Negro cities in the world are found in the North, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and Chicago contain each a sufficient number of Negroes to engage the highest human powers and faculties to answer the needs of so large number of human beings. The ever widening field invites the highest ambition of Negro youth to rise to the level of the opportunity that awaits them. In all of the northern cities the Negro in concentrated in segregated areas and districts. This residential segregation creates a demand for leadership and self direction. Large as his numbers seem, taken by themselves, the Negro constitutes only a small percentage of the total population except in several of the border cities. If they were evenly distributed throughout the white population they would be practically unnoticed as a factor in the general equation. One hundred and fifty thousand Negroes in New York in the midst of six million whites, if evenly diffused would count but, one in forty, and would be a negligible entity in the general life of the metropolis. But a hundred thousand Negroes in Harlem constitute a city within a city. The racial needs of this large mass must be supplied by their own leadership, almost as if they constituted a separate community. Negro ministers, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers and business men must conform with reasonable approximation to the prevailing standards of the community. This opportunity gives incentive and ambition to the youth of the race to equip themselves with the fittest educational qualifications. In most of the northern states primary education is compulsory, so that every negro child, in compliance with the law, must attend the public schools for a given period of years. In the near future we may expect that the Negro will approximate his full quota in high schools, normal schools; technical schools and colleges in the great centers of population where he is rapidly congregating. There were more than four hundred Negro graduates from high schools in the class of 1920 and more than one hundred graduates graduates from colleges and professional schools in the northern states. This indicates the rapid growth in enrollment of the Negro in secondary as well as in higher institutions. There were probably 500 Negroes enrolled in colleges and professional schools of the North during the past year. This educational awakening in the North but indicates what may be expected in the near future. The question naturally arises as to how far separate educational facilities will be deemed advisable for the Negroes in the northern cities as their numbers tend to increase. This is already a mooted question in such cities as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Chicago. In Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Kansas City, where separated colored schools are maintained, there is a much larger enrollment of colored pupils in the higher levels of instruction than in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, where the schools are mixed. The separate systems seem to invoke a keener incentive and zest. Will separate schools bring out the higher aspirations of the Negro and lead to the unfolding of his powers and possibilities? is the question countered by the query; Will not scholastic separation on racial lines vitiate the spirit of democracy and lower the standards of the less favored race? This controversy will doubtless engender great heat of feeling and animosity on part of both races. The final outcome should be determined in the light of the best good to the Negro as well as that of the community. The purpose of the schools is to produce good and useful citizens. This objective should transcend all theoretical question of manner or method. And yet the great democratic ideal must be kept constantly in mind. While the mass of the race remains in the South, the educational center of gravity will be shifting toward the North. Ambitious youth will flock to the centers of the best educational advantage, regardless of national or racial border lines. Northern institutions are filled with white southern youth, because they find there at present better educational facilities than the South provides. They saturate themselves with the aims and ideals and acquire technical facilities of these great centers of learning, and carry the acquisition back for the assimilation of their own section. Negro youth will be actuated by the same impulse and purpose. Negro schools in the South have, so far, been planted and supported on the basis of the northern philanthropy. This philanthropy has concerned itself largely with Negroes in the southern states who have been suppressed below the level of educational opportunity and advantage. It has not contemplated that Negroes in considerable numbers would avail themselves of the best educational facilities afforded by colleges and universities of the North. It will be interesting to note the effect of this tendency upon the fate of the Negro's higher institutions of learning supported in the South on a philanthropic basis. Philanthropists are, naturally enough, disposed to place help where they deem it is the most needed. There is no par- ticular need to help the Negro in the North, where he has only to stretch forth his hand and partake of the tree of knowledge which flourishes all about him. It is also natural that philanthropy will be inclined to foster institutions which encourage graduates to live and work among the masses in the South where the need is greatest. Negro students of Harvard, Yale, or Chicago do not make the same philanthropic appeal as those in Atlanta, Fisk and Tuskegee. There is also a reserved feeling that it might be well to encourage separate Negro institutions, in order to keep too large a number of Negroes from entering white universities. This feeling will doubtless incur greatly to the benefit of Negro schools in the South. It must be determined whether the northern universities are apt to impart to Negro students the social impulse and racial aspiration requisite to the best service of the race. These institutions are not adapted to the Negro's peculiar circumstances and conditions. They are founded and fostered to meet the needs, aspirations, and ambitions of the most favored white youth. The Negro must grasp the general aims and ideals and interpret and apply them to the situation and circumstances of his own race. can members. "The way to stop it is for the colored race to put the seal of disapproval on the man who commits a vicious crime instead of protecting him as has been done time and again." Mr. Byrnes asserted that passage of the Dyer bill would "require an army of Federal police, invading the States to secure evidence against lynchers, county officials and the counties." "You cannot cure lawlessness by indulging in it yourself," Mr. Byrnes declared. "And this you do if you pass this bill so clearly in violation of the Constitution of the United States as it has been construed to this date by the Supreme Court. SAM McVEY DEAD.

This is to be from John The schools of the South will be patterned after those in the North. The less-developed always pay homage to the better-perfected standards. The Negro will gain acquaintance with the aims, ideals, and methods of the North, and will, perforce, exploit the attainment among his own people in the South. In the educational world the law of supply and demand is inexorable. The demand for Negroes in the higher levels of intellectual, moral, and social leadership in the North will be relatively small as compared with the larger field of the South. The incidental hardships and inequalities of the southern regime will be undergone in quest of a larger field for acquired attainment, quickened by saecial impulse of racial reclamation. Thus the northern movement of the Negro actuated by purely industrial and economic motives, will yield significant educational fruitage. Note—This timely article has been furnished by the Dean of the Junior College, Howard University, Washington, D. C. --- ANTI-LYCH BILL WILL PENALIZE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH LYCHINGS TAKE PLACE. Among those urging passage of the measure were Mr. Campbell of Kansas and Representatives Pess of Ohio, aut Ansorge of New York, Republica, while those who spoke in opposition included Mr. Garrett and Representatives Pou of North Carolina; Brynes of South Carolina and Aswell of Louisiana Democrats. Mr. Pess declared that the bill was not aimed at the South, but was de- dined to deal effectively with mol- violence wherever it occurred. One or the most "indescribable" lynchings had occurred in his own State, he add- ed. Mr. Ansorge said passage of the Dyer bill would "forevermore wipe the stain of lynchings from the pages of American history." On the other hand, Mr. Garrott as- serted the measure should be entitled a "bill to encourage" criminal attacks and Mr. Pou said its purpose was to pay a political debt. Mr. Byrnes char- acterized the measure as a proposal which if enacted and held constitutionl al would prove ineffective while Mr. Aswell contended passage of the bill would have a tendency to increase rather than prevent lynchings. Representative Begg, Republican Ohio broke into the discussion to tell of the robbing of a bank in Cleveland. Citizens he said, turned out to apprehend the robbers and one of the bandits was shot. "Under the terms of this bill," he asked Mr. Campbell "would that county be required to forfeit $10,000 because a criminal met death at the hands of a group of citizens?" "I'm not prepared to answer that question," replied Mr. Campbell. question," replied Mr. Campbell. When Representative Kelley, Republican, Michigan, followed with a query as to whether the bill would pune a county which did its best to prevent mob violence, but failed Mr. Campbell said application of the bill's various provisions would have to be determined during the debate. Representative Bankhend, Democrat Alabama inquired what would be gained by passage of the bill transferring jurisdiction to the "Federal courts." "Aren't judges and jurors in State and Federal courts actuated by the same desire to enforcer laws impart'lly?" he asked. During his attack on the bill, Mr. Garret declared: "When you place the idea in the hands of a few Negroes—comparative ly few—the idea that somehow somehow they will be less subjected to punishment for crimes against women if they are to be dealt with by the Federal court, you are but inviting an increase in the commission of such crime. This bill simply will encourage the very crime you are seeking to put down. "You do not know what it means to live in a section where, because of the acts of a few of a race a man's wife dare not travel alone; you do not know that over the head of a daughter unprotected from the vicious, hangs the sword of Damocles." DECLARES NOT JUSTIFABLE "No political exigency can justify passage of this bill. Surely you must realize that if you can single out the crime of lynching, you can place with in the purview of the Federal court the crimes of murder, assault and battery, theft—in fact, every crime and cut the Constitution adrift in this mans demeanor known to law. If you manner you will not stop the exigency, but will set it afflict, on the uncharted sea until in the end you will see the wreck of the greatest government on earth." Mr. Pou was vigorously applauded by Democrats when he declared that Southerners had been doing their best to wipe out lynching. "We're as much opposed to lynching as you are. Mr. Pou told Republi- can members. "The way to stop it is for the colored race to put to the seal of disapproval on the man who counts a vicious crime instead of protecting him as has been done time and again." Mr. Byrnes asserted that passage of the Dyer bill would "require an army of Federal police, invading the States to secure evidence against lynchers, county officials and the counties." "You cannot cure lawlessness by indulging in it yourselves," Mr. Byrnes declared. "And this you do it you pass this bill so clearly in violation of the Constitution of the United States as it has been construed to this date by the Supreme Court." SAM McVEY DEAD New York, December 23.—Sam Mc Voy, colored heavyweight puglist, died today in a local hospital, a victim of pneumonia. EMOTIONAL DRAMA FANS MAY HAVE THEIR FILL. (Richmond&Times Dispatch Dec. 27) Those lovers of emotional drama, who saw "Emperor Jones" at the Academy yesterday must have had their fill. As an exposition of elemental emotions, of morbid hallucinations, of psychological struggle, nothing within recollection equals it. In novelty of presentation, this drama of O'Neill's is without a peer. Moreover, its one-man cast, for such it really is, sets it apart. In eight scenes, marvels of stagecraft, and consuming about ninety minutes in its presentation, "Emperor Jones" is about the strangest play an Academy audience ever saw. The various forest settings, of tropical type, make up a scenic display of remarkable interest. Each successive scene last night was greeted with a salvo of applause. Lighting effects, coloring, rapidity of changes, all these emphasized the ingenuity of the Provincetown Players and their scenic designer, Mr. Throckmorton. The psychology of the Negro is held before the audience with marked fidelity. Charles S. Gilpin, as Brutus Jones has created a remarkable role, its success in New York and elsewhere has been very great. Whatever questions may arise as to its propriety in Southern cities, and some have been heard, the dramatic art of Gilpin must be recognized. From the first scene, when he indulges in boasting and braggadocio, through the successive development of the play, wherein he has exhibited the depths of craven and object fear, solely induced by his own mind, Gilpin acts with great ability. The story has been told heretofore, Briefly, its ex-Pulman porter, escaped convict and murderer, has made himself "Emperor" of a West Indian island; he has extorted money from his subjects, hoarded it, and has made preparations for his escape when it shall become evident that his Negro subjects have endured his reign sufficiently long. The time comes when they rise against him. The beating of drama is heard faintly, increasing gradually, which rhythm drum beat continues through the entire action. Jones starts out to walk through the forest, equipped in full uniform, with six-shooter revolver, loaded with one silver bullet to end his own life, the remaining charges of lead for his defense. He loses his way, gradually discards his uniform, reenacts his old crimes, shown in tableau before the audience, until he finally returns after a night of wandering, to the precise point where he entered the forest, there to be shot by a group of his 'own former subjects. The play of "Emperor Jones" is preceded by a short, two-act play called "Supressed Desires," a satire of phychoanalysis. This is cleverly presented by a cast of three, comprising Elizabeth Brown, Florence Bermusmure and Coell Clovelly. J. G. H. --- Plans Laid for Basketball and Baseball. For the second time in four years Union is the champion of the Colorea Inter-Collegiate. Athletic Association Under the leadership of Coach Mastin, former All-American half-back of Norwich University, the fast machine with perfect precision swept down up on its rivals, vanquished them and left a train of shattered wrecks behind. Because of these triumphs over A. and T., Morgan College, Hampton, St. Paul, Va. Theological Seminary and Lincoln, songs of cheer have filled the campus since Thanksgiving day when Hampton the last of the opponents was downed with a crushing defeat. Last week was one of success and formal jubilee at Virginia Union. The School gave the team which brought honor and renown a banquet in Martin E. Gray Refectory. At the banquet the eloquent orations which were delivered and the songs of the fair ones from the city were evidences of the town folk's esteem as well as the school's recognition of the team's valor. The fans who have seen the Red and Steel aggregation upon the grid iron have undoubtedly admired its sportmanship and fairness as well as its skill in manipulating the pligain. It is regretted very much by Union men that the Lincoln-Union game resulted as it did. Despite this regret every Uniteite will do all in his power to counteract current propaganda which seeks to poison public sentiment against their Alma Mater. Altho the official score of the game was 1 to 0, the public if it wishes to be fair must ask Lincoln to account for two things, that occurred in the game. HATS OFF TO COACH MARTIN Too much honor cannot be given. Coach H. D. Martin, noted star of New England, for his accomplishments in athletics at Union this season. One very conspicuous evidence of Mr. Martin's desire to put across a winning team was shown by his success in get ting the fair damoiselles of the city to turn out in great numbers to cheer his boys to victory. Probably such songs as "Old V. U. U, is 'er Victorious" sung by those beautiful girls helped many a had to stick to the bitter end. Arriving at Union at a date when Howard Lincoln, and Hampton had practised for five-weeks, Mr. Martin by virtue of his knowledge 'of the rough and tumble game was able to whip into shape a championship aggregation from a squad which consists'ed primarily of raw recruits. Now that the football season is over Mr. Martin₁ is formulating plans for an in vincible basketball team for the rest of the winter and a winning baseball team for the spring. With such an all around athletes as Allen Jackson and Pope Gregory, the fans will not be wrong in expecting Cohch Martin₁ to develop a basketball team equally as meritorious and strong as this football team of the season just closed.

MADISON 577—Man On Duty All Night—RICHMOND, VA, (RESIDENCE NEXT DOOR) Book Chat By Mary White Ovington. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. By Herbert J. Seligmann, Published by Harper and Brothers, New York City, Price $1.75. Postage ten cents extra. Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann in his book "The Negro Faces America" has gathered together much of the latest material relating to the Negro in the United States. The book is a repository of facts. Those wishing to better understand recent race riots, the Negro in politics and in industry, should get Mr. Seligmann's book. Especially are the Elaine cases in Arkansas treated in careful detail. Those familiar with these cases known that they arose out of a coalition of peonage and we note with interest the definition of peonage quoted by Mr. Seligmann as given by Justice Brewer. "Wherever we have compulsory service for debt, we have peonage, it matters not by what method the result is obtained." Under this definition we have thousands of cases of peonage among the Negroes who are doing compulsory service. The fate of the Elaino men condemned to death is thus of supreme importance to the Negroes of the United States as their acquittal would be a death blow to peonage. Beside the important facts in the book there is a great deal of delightful discussion of the Negro question. Lothrop Stoaldard's "The Rising Tide of Color," (which we shall review later) has started many people thinking along lines of color ascendency. Mr. Seligmann touches upon the anthropological side of the Negro question, showing how the United States has taken up the idea promulgated by the Germans of Anglo Saxon supremacy and gone them one better. He has an entertaining time commenting on a book by William Benjamin Smith of Tulane University called "The Color Line." Indeed he gains the same entertainment with this book that Macauley had with the poems of Robert Montgomery. Those who recall Macauley's essays will remember he made famous a very obscure poet by condemning (him). In the same way, Mr. Seligmann brings again to light an obscure southern book, which declares that "flood and fire, fever and famine and the sword—even ignorance, indifference and carpet baggery, the South may endure and onquer while her blood remains pure; 'but once tainted the wellspring of her life and all is lost—even honor itself.' It is in his criticism of what he calls the South's color psychosis, that Mr. Seligmann surpasses him. We cannot remember ever before reading such clever satirical comment on the South's illogical treatment of the Negro question. "The Southern white man puts certain questions beyond the bounds of discussion. If they are pressed he will fight rather than argue. What to many educated and cultured persons of the North seems arguable and debatable, subject to critical examination and referable to scientific observation, to the Southern white man is as scared as religious dogma and is defended as passionately." It is against, this dogmatism that Mr. Seligmann writes. His book ends with a demand for exact information on the Negro question in the United States. It might well be used today as a pamphlet to urge upon Congress the appointment of the Race Commission recommended by the President in his first message to Congress. A commission which should report upon the conditions under which the Negroes live in the United States. Auto Gasses May Cause Poisoning Richmond, Va. Dec. 21.—Recent investigations made by the United States Bureau of Mines and the Public Health Service have shown that the exhaust gasses from automobiles frequently contain sufficient carbon monoxide to cause symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. These experiments were conducted as a consequence of several deaths having been reported from garages, the victims apparently having died from carbon monoxide poisoning. The experiments show that this was probably the real cause of death. The State Board of Health, therefore issues a warning to automobiles and especially to those who operate garages. If the following five precautions are taken; there will be no danger; if they are neglected a death may ensue: 1. Always open the garage door before starting the engine. 2. Do not allow the engine to run for any length of time in a closed garage. 3. Do not work near the exhaust of a running automobile engine. 4. Special precautions as to ventilation are necessary when in garage pits. 5. When the exhaust is used for heating a closed car the system must be free from leaks. To these instructions, the State Health Commissioner adds this bit of advice. When a person is overcome by gasses from automobile engines or any other gasoline engines, he should be removed at once to the fresh air; and methods used in resuscitating for drowning should be employed until a physician can be secured. These meth ods consist in the main of pumping with the arms and alternately pressing and releasing the lower portion of the chest until natural breathing is restored. $2.00 sent to this office will place The Planet in your home ROANOKE WEIS BoE New Year aright by obtaining rich, wholesome information, Start right and pursue right and you will surely end right.

July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicine. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be in operation on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Avo., Richmond Va. Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915.

Hayden of Remarkable Cure—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results L. J. Hayden, Richmond, Va.; Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with drospiax trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her word stages, finally going into sepsis, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one hour, going from one right into another; her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicine only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be as assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued success, I am, with much gratitude, Yours truly. (Signed) J. WILSON 417 W. Seventh St. Memphis, Va. L. J.

The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere was instituted at Baltimore, Md., on September 22nd, 1889. Its formation was inspired by a revolt of the lodges in New England, Mary land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and other states against the management of the parent body. Today the order has ten grand lodges, ten grand auxiliary courts, and a number of subordinate courts operating directly under the supervision of the Supreme Lodge and Supreme Court, and covering territory in all parts of this country. The New York body of the order has been especially successful, and on Thursday will lay the cornerstone for a $210,600 house on 135th street. The officers of the organization are W. Ashleie Hawkins, Baltimore, Md., Supreme Chancellor; William H. Willis, New York City Supreme Vice-Chancellor; John C. Andrews Crewe, Va., Supreme Master of Exchequer; Chas. L. Drew, Kansas City, Mo.

EDITOR MITCHELL (Continued from First Page.) lottesville to Richmond in and on and round about the same kind of car. I said nothing more but settled back in my seat next to Mr. Hughes's wife. Pauline and remained quiet. THAT THIRTY-FIVE MILE TRIP Mr. Jackson stated that the distance was only 35 miles and the roads were fine. Later developments showed that his statement was subject to important modifications both as to distance and condition. It was a pleasant trip. This well-known Mohawk Trail is the pride of the New Eng'and people. The Stanley steamer was running fine. The steady pull of the engine and the high pressure of steam was all that the heart could wish. It is needless to describe the beautiful scenery enroute or to tell of the fine roads or to comment upon the make and speed of the cars we passed. The speed limit was not being considered. We were climbing steadily. The speedometer was in excellent condition. It had passed the 35 mile mark and no camp was in sight. It went over 40 miles and then I got worried. LOOKS LIKE ALBANY I saw signs telling the distance to Albany New York and I began to get worried. While I wanted to visit Albany I did not exactly desire so to do with all of our luggage in Mr. Alexander Hughes residence in Springfield. I communicated my fears to Mr. Jack son who was piloting the party. Then he admitted that he had visited the Girl's Scout Camp before, but it was around the other route, which while being shorter consisted of bad roads on which a truck had gotten stuck in the mud for some time. Finally I insisted upon making and enquiry. A youngster told us that we had passed the place, where we should have turned to the left. We had seen the sign there but it did not specify the camp for which we were seeking. We went back and entered the country road. We were no longer on the good main highway, but I could readily imagine that we were in Virginia. Mr. Jackson buoyed us up with false hopes and finally I made up mind to enquire upon my own hook. A white girl in front of a house some distance away, on a road which Mr. Jackson stated led to the place informed us that we were on the wrong road. We must back out. This reminded me of a story Mr. Hughes had related just before leaving Springfield. A farmer, upon the urgent request of his wife bought a Ford car. He wont out driving with his wife and she was the envy of all of the neighbors or rather she imagined himself to be. In going down a road, they came to a narrow covered bridge. A farmer with a load of hay had entered the other end and they met about midway of the bridge. One or the other had to back out. A FARMER'S WISDOM The farmer with the wagon found his horses rather balky and he asked the Ford owner if he would back out. He expressed a willingness so to do and was about to accommodate him when his wife spoke up and said, "No, you shant back out. let him back out. "But, my dear" said he, it "is easier for me to back out" with the car than it is for him with his team." "I don't care if it is" said she. "you shant back out, let him back out." The old farmer looked at the husband in the car and he raised his hand deprecatingly. "It's all right, neighbor." I understand. I'll back out. I have one of those things (wife) at home too. "And so he, with much difficulty, backed out. THE SPEEDOMETER RECORD We went on our way after backing out and then we struck about five miles of as rough a road as we had ever travelled anywhere in the country. I failed to state that the speedometer was now registering fifty miles. I looked at Mr. Jackson. He gave a richly smile and I continued the effort to find some one who could tell me just where, Mr. Jackson had hidden Mrs. Jackson's two children. Finally we came to a sign, which pointed in direction and which carried the information that the road led to the Scout Camp. Then I made another enquiry. Some one had turned that sign the wrong way and we backed again and took the other road. We found one automobile in trouble and we passed around it, "just by a hair." AT CAMP AT LAST A little further on and we saw the camp. Then Mrs. Jackson's girls, who had been expecting them ran out from among their white companions to greet them. Mrs. Jackson followed them and they soon returned with two girls and luggage. As luck would have it, Robinson had retained the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 袋gage carrier on the car. We began the home journey. I had one of the girls in my lap, while Mr. and Mrs. Jackson had the other. I failed to tell about the long climb up Jacob's Ladder. This is a steady ascent up what appears to be steps or rounds as you look from the bottom. There are many curves in this road, but at the top is an observation place and here you can purchase Indian beads and pendants telling about the Mohawk Trail. You can get fine water and refreshments here too. BE EFFICIENT AND SUCCESS BE AN EXCELLENT PREP SPEC We are ready to double or Hairdressers ognize the NO FOOD IN SIGHT But we were about to return over this route. What did the speedometer say about this 35 mile trip? It registered 54 miles from Mr. Alexander Hughes house in Springfield. It was about eating time and Mrs. Hughes was expressing her regret that she had not thought to bring sandwiches. I regretted it too for Robinson is a very uncertain quantity, when he gets hungry and he was hungry. But we were on the rough road again, blue miles of it. The two girls stated that they had a nice time in camp. Coming up they said, the road was unusually rough, as they came the other way. THE WAY BACK There was one consolation about the return trip, we knew the way back I am not telling just how fast we ran that car or the time made. Suffice it to say that, we had covered that 105 miles by about 5 P. M. Mr. Wm. C. Jackson took us to his residence where a fine dinner was served and where with other "temperance" refreshments, he in a measure "atoned for his sin." That evening we visited the St. John's Congregational church of which Mr. Alexander Hughes was a leading factor. This church edifice is located on a corner and much residential property has been pur chased, the rentals from this property adds much to the coffers of the church. Rev. W. H. DeBerry who was absent on his vacation is in charge. A FINE PLACE Miss Beatrice D. Walker, the parish visitor and worker has done remarkable work here and we found the community house a model of neatness and efficiency. We went from one part of this department to the other. The church was also inspected and no where have we ever seen anything to surpass it. I failed to state that the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Jackson are named Marlon, Ruths and Lille with the baby unnamed to us. That night was spent under the hospitable roof of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, 16 Munson street. We had arranged the car so as to be able to get out at day-light and instructions had been given us as to the route. We awoke early and found that the Madame had prepared breakfast, although we did not expect to get any so early. LEAVING SPRINGFIELD Bidding our host and hostess goodbye and caring a regretful look at this California home in Massachusetts, the car moved out to the wide streets of Springfield and then we were on our way to Hartford. I can not describe our feelings. The air was bracing. The day was clear and Robinson proceeded to exceed the speed limit, if they had any in Massachusetts. The roads were fine. We passed through Hartford without even stopping to make enquiries and we were soon enroute to New Haven and then on to Bridgeport. It may be well to state that he over-hauled car after car. Then he had a way of letting some car in the rear come up. The chauffeur or owner would try to pass. He would give the signal for him to come on. RACING IN NEW ENGLAND Just as the radiator of the car would reach about the rear door of the Stanley on the left hand side, he would open the throttle and the Stanley would dart away like a living thing. He could see the man behind laugh at the innovation. One of those cars gave him a long chase, extending over something like five miles. As for me, I could see a $25.00 or a $50.00 fine being paid, but at that early hour the speed cops must have gone to sleep. Later on, we saw them looking for the violators of the law. Then the Stanley would run as though some part of the machinery was out of order, so slow was the pace set. THROUGH RIDGEPORT We were in sight of Bridgeport Conn., and soon were passing through the streets of that city. I met a lady who formerly lived in Boston and who knew Row. Scott C. Burrell more than a decade ago. Robinson had secured his Bridgeport pennant by that time and then we were once more on our way to New York city where we arrived at 11 A.
