FULTON NOTES. --- The Sunday School of the Mount Calvary Baptist Church was well attended last Sabbath, though the teachers and students were a little late, but they will bestir themselves in the future. We are very glad to have Mrs. Ruth Fields, the president of the T. E. L. Bible Class, and Miss Charlotte Jackson, the secretary of the school, back in our midst, after spending the summer at Ocean View. Our pastor sure did preach a wonderful and inspiring sermon last Sabbath at 11:30 A. M. Our hearts burned within as he talked along the way. The devotionals were conducted by Revs. Fuller and Jefferson. At 8:30 P. M. he preached another strong sermon, using as his theme "The Three Hebrew Children." Friends, let us attend the night service. You are missing a rate treat by staying away. Live singing is bad by the choir. At the services tomorrow morning and night we are expecting some visiting preachers, and one of the strong gospel trumpeters shall speak to us. I know you are going to be present at 11:30 A. M. At 3:30 P. M. the Fulton Beneficial Club will hold their anniversary service at the above named church. The sermon will be preached by Rev. C. A. Cobbs. Every man of Fulton should belong to this club. The services at the Rising Mount Zion Baptist Church were excellent last Sabbath. The pastor, Rev O. B. Simms, is preaching the unadulterated gospel; the choir, under the leadership of Deacon Herbert White, is doing some splendid singing. After the morning service the pastor had to go to West Point to preach the funeral of one of the older members of the Mount Nebo Baptist Church. The Men's Bible Day exercises will be held at the Ehenezer Baptist Church Sunday, October 2, 1921, at 3:30 P. M. The Nightingale Glee Club of Fulton will render music for the occasion. Under the auspices of the Richmond Baptist Sunday School Association, J. L. Bullard, president; C. B. Jefferson, corresponding secretary. Miss Frances Greene is yet sick at this writing, also Miss Bessie Stewart, Mr. Willie White and Mrs. Ardelia Truck, who is living at No. 924 North Thirty-third Street. The revival services held for one week at the First Baptist Church, Bermuda Hundreds, was a real success. They had twenty-one converts, four taken in for baptism and seven others added to the church. Our brother is doing a great work, trying always to bring some soul to Christ. Rev W. L. Tuck is pastor. The great discussion last Saturday evening at Daniel's headquarters was concerning "Conscience." We believe that conscience is the moral sense which determines right and wrong, a faculty of the mind unlike the perception and memory, based on the divine authority, and dictates the right policy at all times, though we may not be sensible of its judgment because of our evil training. If you want to enjoy yourselves Sunday, visit one or the other of the Sunday schools of Fulton tomorrow morning. Superintendent: Herbert White, Rising, Mt. Zion; John Foster, Mt.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 THOUSANDS WATCH KU KLUN ERS MARCH RICHMOND STREETS the springy step of youth, and many were in the class which may be de- scribed as from thirty to fifty. Some N. A. A. C. P. ASSIST WORLD IN KLA Crowds Keep Perfect Order as Klausmen Parade Thor- oughfares. DON THEIR WHITE ROSES AT CITY AUDITORIUM Heated by Man on Horsesback, Banners Bear Various Inscriptions. A crowd estimated at between 8,000 and 10,000 people silently stood on the sidewalks of Broad and Main Streets last night to watch the passing of the parade of Richmond Klan, No. 1, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The white-robed figures, headed by ghostly looking men on horseback, marched along the principal streets in orderly manner and with some pretence of military formation, their hands folded across their breasts and looking to neither the right nor the left through the slits which had been cut in the masks which hid their faces. No untoward incident marked the event. The crowds along the line of march were good-natured, comparatively few comments being passed and these being mostly of a humorous nature. There were 602 knights in line. The Ku Klux- ers gathered at the City Auditorium Linden and Cary Streets. Of eclipse, and there they dawned their uniforms and formed the parade, leaving the auditorium, they marched down Cary Street to Laurel, to Franklin, to second, to Broad, down Broad to Ninth and thence to Main Street. Extra Police on Route. On the side streets few people were gathered, but Broad Street, especially, was quite well filled, and hundreds saw the Main Street end. While Chief of Police Sherry had announced that he did not deem it necessary to take an extra precautions because of the parade, it was noticed that quite a few extra policemen were on duty along Broad Street and a number of plain clothes men mingled with the crowds. The procession was headed by a man on horseback, whose uniform betokened that he held an office of more importance than those who followed, a blue and red sash stretching over his shoulder and around his waist after the fashion of a Sam Brown belt. It was conjectured that he was the "cyclops," or king, of the Richmond Klan. Following him were a dozen or more horsemen, and then, riding alone between footmen and horsemen, came a knight, riding, in whose hands was clutched the "flashing cross"—a luridly illuminated cross standing about three feet high. Small red incandescentes, quite evidently supplied by a storage battery, furnished the means of illumination. Interspersed among the footmen at rather irregular intervals were more horsemen, generally two riding together. Footmen carried banners bearing inscriptions here and there, some of them reading. Inscriptions on Banners. "Here Today; Here Forever;" We Speak English," We Read English," We Write English," Faultless and Fearless," We Are Everywhere," White Supremacy," America First," 100 Per Cent, American," Pure Womanhood," All Native Born," Richmond Must Be Cleaned," For Sisters, Mothers and Daughters," Gambers Must Go," Parasites Must Go," Peace and Justice," Gratters Must Go," Degenerates Must Go," Thieves Must Go," The Invisible Empire," Right Will Prevail," The Guilty Must Pay," and several others, but all in keeping with the sentiment expressed in those which have been given. There were outbursts of laughter as the crowds read some of the banners, but for the most part all were read in silence. Some wag along the marched created by the laughter by remarking uproarious laughter all the banners, that the bootleggers were about the only lawless outfit in the city upon whom war had not been declared by the Ku Klux. At no point along the line of march was there an outburst of applause, not even when along toward the end of the procession, about twenty knights, carrying a huge American flag, passed in review. At the head of the procession one knight carried a small American flag and another the emblem of the State of Virginia, but they, too, usually the signal for an outbreak, passed in silence. In fact, there was not a demonstration of a demonstration along the route of a demonstration. Traffic moved as usual at all points. The crowd which witnessed the parade on Broad Street was not much larger than that which usually turns out on Saturday nights. Age Detected in Walk. While the knights were draped from head to foot, the age of some of them could be detected in their walk. Some strode along with evident marks of age, while others had the springy step of youth, and many were in the class which may be described as from thirty to fifty. Some wore their masks tightly drawn about their faces, while others allowed them to play with the breeze, making no apparent effort to conceal their features. Some, perhaps the more aged members of the klan, rode in automobiles, one of them, apparently in the neighborhood of seventy, being without mask. No knight uttered a word during the entire parade. No orders were issued. All had evidently been set before hand. The unusual spectacle occasioned no excitement among the spectators. All passed to book and the majority of those who passed remained until the whole procession had passed. The uniforms consisted of long white robes, made in wrapper style, and headgear of tunic effect, from which the face masks suspended, a little red tassle hanging from the cone. The fact that Broad Street was brilliantly lighted during the parade, and that all the other streets thronged with it, was used to be sufficiently well lighted to be distracted somewhat from the wizardry which is supposed to accompany a parade of the Ku Klux Klan. Toddled children, accompanied by their parents, retreated to be impressed. They saw no suggestion of the "bogey-man" in the silently-moving, ghostly line. No Law to Prevent Parade No Law to Prevent Parade, no effort, at least no concerted effort, had been made to have the parade stopped when the glan first announced that it had intended to parade. Chief of Police Sherry had been interviewed by several citizens in regard to the safety, but he gave it as his opinion that there was no way of stopping it so long as those participating were orderly and law-abiding. There is no law, he said, to prevent masked men from parading through the streets. Yesterday, however, Alderman Julian T. Wainfree, representing Clay Ward, after conferring with some of the colleagues, said that when the Board of Aldermen and the Common of uncle meet in October, he would introduce an ordinance to prevent masked parades in the future. The ordinance would be so drafted, he said, as to prevent secret societies whose members wear masks from using any public building for meetings or any other purpose. The auditorium, in which the knights met last night, is owned by the city of Richmond. COLORED MOONSHINER SLAYS POLICE OFFICER Uses Policeman's Own Revolver, Take in Hand-to-Hand Fight. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 15. City and county police are securing this vicinity for the clayer of County Policeman Raymond Shaacklock during a raid on a still Tuesday afternoon. Several officers surrounded a still near the city line in the county. While Robert Adams, colored, was being taken to a waiting automobile by the raiding officers, a big colored man broke from the bushes and ran. Shaacklock gave chase. He is said to have overtaken the man and had a hand to hand fight with him. The man broke away and after securing the officer's gun in the turtle fired one shot from it. Officer Shaacklock dropped in his traxes. Other officers in the raiding party heard the shot, but they thought it was fired by Shaacklock. They waited; some time for him to return to the automobile, and when he did not grow up they started in search for him. His body was found in the bushes some distance from where the still was located. The identity of the man who did the shooting is said to be known to the county authorities. They expect to have him in custody in a short time. Officer Shaacklock was a fearless man and had participated in a number of raids on illicit sites. --- Mrs. Robena Baugh returned to the city last week from a visit to Norfolk, Va. —Rev. George E. Read D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church at Covington, Va., called on us. Mrs. Roberta Young has returned to the city from Baltimore, Md., after visiting her son Mr. Oscar Young and wife. —Mr. Wilbur Hilton has returned to the city after spending the summer in Asbury, N. J. —Mr. Clarance Perkins of 406 W. Clay street who was recently operated upon at St. Phillip's Hospital is now at home doing well. Sir James Crawley, D. D. G. C., of Bondtown Va., was in the city this week. —Mrs. Nannie E. Brown of Petersburg, Va., was a caller at the office of the G. W. R. of Deeds. N. A. A. C. P. ASSISTS NEW YORK WOULD IN KLAN EMPOSE. About a little more than two months ago a representative of The World came into the National office of the Association and told us plans for an investigation and expose which his paper was undertaking, and asked us to furnish him with all the data and information possible. Our office immediately placed at his disposal its files of data, information and documents relating to the Ku Klux Klan. We are glad that we were able to render this assistance to The World in the great fight which it is carrying on. The World is performing a great service, not only to the Negro, but to the nation, because in stamping out the Ku Klux Klan it is conserving its institutions of law and order. The World merits the appreciation of the whole country and especially of the colored people, because the destruction of the Ku Klux Klan means more to them than to anybody else. In addition, the New York American has begun the publication of a series of articles exposing the Klan. The articles are written by C. Anderson Wright, former King Kleagle of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan. In the issue of the American of September 16th Mr. Wright made the following disclosure regarding the policy of the Klan toward the N. A. A. C. P.: Fear Negro Power. "Another subject of serious discussion was the realization that the power of the Negro society, known as the Society for the Advancement of Colored People, was becoming a great menace in the expansion of the Ku Klux Klan, as it was continually giving to the press publicity on the Klan's underhanded methods. This society was getting active in State legislative work, having already succeeded in having introduced by a Negro legislator from Chicago a bill denouncing the Klan in the Illinois Legislature. This bill was passed. It made an appeal to the citizens of Illinois to refrain from joining or associating in any manner with the Ku Klux Klan. "This activity on the part of the Negro, in the judgment of Clarke, warranted prompt action, and it was decided to set up a rival organization to the Society for the Advancement of Colored People without delay. Clarke began with a Negro in his own estate, at one of unusual intelligence, who was in charge of the servants on his farm on the outskirts of Atlanta. This servant enlisted the services of other Negroes as spies, and they attended the meetings of the society and reported everything that was said and done. Also these spies sought to create dissatisfaction and discord among the members of the society. This Negro phase of the Klan's activities I shall deal with in another article." FLORIDA MASONS BURN MORT GAGE ON TEMPLE (By W. L. Lewis) Jacksonville, Fla. September—The Masone Temple, valued at a half million dollars, was freed from debt on the 25th of August, when the last dollar was paid and the mortgages canceled and borne with great ceremony. This building, on the corner of Broad and Daund Streets, built of stone, steel, pressed brick and reinforced concrete, is one of the most conspicuous in the city. Grand Master David D. Powell (Child degree) and seventh grand master to preside over the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, entered upon his duties as grand master less than four years ago, finding accumulated debts of more than $200,000, and confidence nearly destroyed among the brethren. The mortgages drawn then to save the temple property to the race and to the jurisdiction were on a limit of five years. His one great aim all along has been to pay off these mortgages and tree the temple. This has been done more than a year ahead of time. A special session of the Grand Lookie, the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Church, the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar, Constitutes of Scottish Rite Masons of the thirty-second degree temple of the Mystic Shriners, and the Grand Court of the Heroines of Jericho and Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star was held tour days, making the largest number of Masons and their auxiliaries ever witnessed in this city. The celebration of the mortgage burning was a mammoth affair. This included a huge torchlight parade and banquet, one of the largest and most spectacular ever witnessed here. The ceremony of burning the mortgage was witnessed in the auditorium of the temple by over two thousand people. Grand Master Powell presided. Illustrious A. L. Lewis (33d degree), custodian of the temple fund, escorted Attorney D. H. Doig to the rostrum. Doig drew the mortgages which had been paid in his office a few hours before he came to the temple. He delivered a most acceptable address, in which he highly praised Grand Master Powell and the men and women of the jurisdiction for doing what he and many others of the best business men and bankers had doubted. He was responded to by Grand Senior Warden H. Y. Tookes, whose eloquence surpassed any utterance of his ever heard from him. The orator of the day was the Rev. A. Henry Attaway, D. D., secretary of Y. M. C. A. work in the State of Mississippi. He was introduced by the Rev. R. A. Grant, D. D. The address of Dr. Attaway was the zenith of eloquence, and he was responded to by the Rev. W. C. Brown, D. D., president of the State Baptist Convention. He was introduced by Illustrious W. L. Lewis (33d degree). The occasion brought rejoicing from everybody, and throughout Florida the name of Grand Master Powell is the subject of praise. ```markdown ``` ENGLISH LABOR PARTY COMMIT USES AID TO CAUSE OF NEIGHBOR The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, announced today a conference of Dr. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, and secretary of the Pan-African Congress, and Walter P. White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P, with the Advisory Committee of the English Labor Party at their headquarters in Eccleston Square. The conference was presided over by Sidney Webb, and among those present were Leonard Woolf, the Rev. Hon. J. H. Clynes, the Labor Party leader in Parliament; Mrs. Philip Snowden, whose new book, "A Political Pilgrim in Europe," is arousing much comment; Sir eGorge Fordham, Dr. Bentham, John H. Harris, of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society; Charles R. Buxton, Dr. Norman Leys, who spent sixteen years in British West Africa; Dr Norman Angell, John H. Gillies, J. H. Brown. Dr Du Bois ably presented the case of the Negro workman, emphasizing the imperative necessity of labor being united, and stating that as long as organized labor attempted to solve only the problem of white workmen, failure was inevitable, and that "until all labor is free, no labor is free." A spirited discussion followed. Speaking on behalf of the committee, Sidney Webb stated that the Labor Party wishes first to be kept informed of all matters affecting colored labor which can and should be brought to Parliament for action; and, second, that they pledge themselves to lend any assistance possible toward the removal of the color zar in labor and elsewhere, whether in England or other countries. In view of the fact that it is largely believed that the Labor Party within a short time will be the most dominant factor in England PRICE, FIVE CENTS and within a few years is likely to be in control of the government, its attitude in the matter of Negro labor is most important. A second conference was held by Dr. Du Bois, Mr. White, Dr. Abender and Mr. Broadhurst, president and secretary, respectively, of the African Progress Union of London, with the representatives of the Anti-Slavery Society. In attendance were Sir Sidney Olivier, K. C. M. G., former governor general of Jamaica who presided, E. Wright Brooks, J. P., Lady Scott, Rev. C. E. K., Latroy, eland W. Buxton, Arthur H. Loring, H. J. Ogden, Mrs. Kinn Lewis, Travers Buxton, and John H. Harris. The Anti-Slavery Society presented tentative resolutions which they wished the Pan-African Congress to consider. The resolutions on land and labor were accepted, but one in conscription, in which they condemned the action of France in using Senegalese and Mozambican troops in Germany, was rejected. Dr. Du Bois in the discussion secrely condemned so-called anthropic organizations which believe in reusing for the natives in Africa and reusing meanwhile, to work with Africans. Mr. White presented to the society the matter of lynching in America and the need of protest on the part of Englishmen. Ways and means of best accomplishing this were suggested, and in this work the support of the Anti-Slavery Society was pleaded. MASONS MEET HERE The Masonee Grand Lodge of Virginia, M. W. Grand Master W. F. Grasty, of Danville, Va. presiding has been in session, at Johnsons Hall this week and have held a most harmonious session. The reports of the officers were very satisfactory. Dr. R. E. Jones of Philadelphia was in attendance. --- Y. W. C. A.

James Weldon Johuson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City,’ to- day mado the’ following statement: Just one year axo ono of the staff officers of the National Association wrote a letter to the headquarters of the Ku Klux Kian in Adapte and In reply received an application for homborshiy blank and. some other Mterature of the Kian, ‘This was the beginning of the ght which the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People has kept up uugainst the Ku Klux Klan ever sineo. ~ “After considerable correspondence we secured enough information re- garding the Klan to give widespread publicity to it and to show its real purposes. We placed the evidence that we had gathered Into the hands of the mayor of the eily of Now York, governor of New York State, police commissioner of New York and the district attorney's offico, and also into the hands of the Dopart- ment of Justice at Washington, Tater a member of our offlee staf made the trip to Ocovo, Fla., and in- vestigated the Ku Klux Kian riots in that town In which twenty-five to forty colored people were killed. The frst mass meeting In Now York ayainst the Ku Klux (lan was held under the auspices of the Na- tional Association for the Advance- mont of Colored People on tho 8d of January. ‘The National Associa- ton for the Advancement of Colored People has not only fought the Ku Kinx Klan from its national ofiec and through fts branches by public ty, by mass meeting and by appeal- {ng to the authorities, it has also fought the Klan as It ds glorified in the infamous moving picture, The Birth of a Nation." In roturn the Klan, through {ts organ, The Search- light, Inunehed a viclous attack against the N. A. A. C. P. and used every means in ity power to tntim!- date members of tho association In tho South, This fight of a your waged by the association has at last borne fruit, and the battle has been taken up by a great and powerful champion, The New York World, And The’ World is dealing the Ku Klux Kian its death blow. ‘Twenty other prominent newspapers In va: rlons sections of the country are as. sociated with Tho World in giving publicity to the inside workings of this nefarious organization, About a Httle more than twa months ago a ropresontative of ‘The World came into the Natlonal office of the Association and told us plans for an invertigation and expose which his paper was undertaking, and asked us to furnish him with all the data and information possi: ble, Our office immediately placed at his disposal its fles of data, iu: formation and documents relating to the Ku Klux Klan. We are glad that we were able to render this as: sistance to The World in the great fight which it is carrying on. ‘The World ts performing a great service, not only to the Negro, but to tho na: ton, docause in stamping out the Ku ‘Klvs Klan it is conserving, its institutions of law and order. ‘The World merits the appreciation of the whole country and especially of the colored people, because the destruc tion of the Ku Klux Klan mean more to them than to anybody elso, In addition, the New York Amert- can has begun the publication of a sorles of articles exposing the Klan. ‘The articles are written by C. An- dorson Wright, former King Kleagle ‘of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Kan, Tn the {sso of the Amer: fean of September 16th Mr. Wright made the following disclosure ro: garding the policy of the Klan to: ward the N.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$ 2.09 Three Months.....1.18 Three Months......60 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.56 SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24 1921 People, who pray often should work the same way. God understands some of these people down here. We don't understand these Colored people, who have race pride are doing much for the advancement of the future generations. It is a mighty hard thing to be bap pwn when you are facing trouble. Stil' they say look pleasant and be happy Some people do more complaining than they do anything else. They drive away their friends and make enemies. The political situation in Virginia is puzzling, but the elections in November will furnish a solution to the puzzle. Read colored newspapers and pay for them. When you get fretted, remember, the good the paper has done and continue to support it. People, who go to Heaven do not want to come back to earth and people who are on earth are not anxious to leave here just now to go Heaven. Dr. W. H. D. Du Bois and the Hon. Marceus Garvey are as far apart "as the police" and there is no hope of either of these leaders getting together. Some men and many women are doing anything to gain temporary success. They are Blind to the fact that the disregard of fundamental rights and principles must ultimately end in disaster. Both National Baptist conventions, one at Chicago and the other at New Orleans seem to be satisfied with the result of their work. Both had a large attendance and both raised a large amount of money. You cannot publish a newspaper without money. When creditors push the newspaper man for payment of accumulated debts, the publisher must push those who dwe him for the same reason. Hon. Henry W. Anderson claims that he will be elected Governor of Virginia and his managers are claiming the same thing. From what we observe, the colored folks are not doing anything other than attending to their own business Cot. Henry W. Anderson, the Republican candidate for Governor is known to be opposed to Negroes holding office, but he has not yet publicly expressed himself as to whether or not he is also opposed to Negroes running for office. --- The uncount, disagreeable, fuss making colored people, who have spread themselves all over the North and West like a dark cloud have done more to injure the colored people in this country than all the Tillmans, Vardamans, and Thomas Dixons. We need to first respect our solves and prove to the world that we are entitled to respect and our condition will im prove and our loaders will be recogitz od. --- We have subscribers, who have become attached to the Planet and who have appreciated the work it has done for the race. Some of them have been on our books for more than thirteen years and their subscriptions are paid to date. --- Running for office is like running to catch a train. You may miss it. In the train business, you have a chance to catch another one in a day or so, but in the matter of office, it may be years, before you will have another chance. --- They have captured the murderer of the popular R. W. Brown of Washington and another chapter has been written in the history of another "bad Negro," who without justifiable cause slow one of the most useful men during our lifetime. --- Some time, the way looks dark but by having an abiding faith in God and the ultimate triumph of right, the ray of sunshine seen in the disgrace evidences of the truths these lines contain. Editor George W. Harris of the N. Y., News is something of a hustler. He won the nomination in the Twenty-first Aldermanche district of New York and has a good chance of being re-elected. This was evidently as surprising to his enemies as it seems to have been to the general public. He should now "let by-gones be by-gones" and do what he can to win over those, who so bitterly opposed him. Life is too short for these unseemly squabbles. There is no one leader of all of the colored people of Virginia, except inso far as the many hundreds of colored leaders make him such and then his tenure of leadership lasts only for the space of time he is designated to act in this capacity. If all of us will realize this fact there will be no time for the display of petty jealousies and the making of unkind remarks. We realized this fact many years ago and except in special instances have not essayed to lead this great multitude of colored people. --- PRESIDENT MORRIS' ADDRESS Rev. Dr. B. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention recently in session at Chicago delivered a very able address and demonstrated that the great organization, of which he is the official head has been accorded deserved recognition by the leading white Baptist organizations in the country. He deplored the fact that the Baptists of the United States are not thoroughly united in religious work and he condemned the suggestion or proposal for regional Baptist organizations throughout this country. We must admit that we do not see how the Baptists of the United States can be thoroughly united under the present plan of organization. The national body as at present constituted is too large and unwieldy for affective work. It would be far better to have District Baptist Conventions and from these District Conventions send up representatives to the national body. This could only be properly brought about though by the elimination of one or the other of the two bodies claiming a national relation ship. The individual ideas of Baptist divines should be subordinated to the general qod. Dr. Morris is an ideal presiding officer and it would be a great consummation of his useful life if he could father a scheme, which would bring about the harmonious relationship of the Baptist forces. Our people need to exercise self- control and to subordinate their individual desires to the general good. Let us hope that this may be brought about during our life-time. PECULIAR PEOPLE. Some colored folks just naturally dislike to pay a bill whether the amount is twenty-five cents or twenty-five dollars. This is especially applicable in the case of some of them who read colored journals. Some of them will read a newspaper for five years, without paying one penny on the subscription fee and then get as "mad as the devil" if you ask them for the money due and if you insis, upon payment, they will immediately find relief in ordering you to stop the paper. If you stop it on account of non-payment, they will get angry because you do not trust them. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA On the other hand, there are race lovers, who pay promptly for the paper year in and year out without minuring and this class of people seldom ask a favor and never expect you to give them two dollars and a half worth of advertising for a two dollar a year subscription, with paper thrown in for good measure. It may be when we get to Heaven, we shall tell God about both of these kind of people. One class, we hope shall have the highest honors available and as to the other class, we shall leave their punishment to Him, who knows all about our troubles. SOUTHERN CONDITIONS NORTH People, who are South had better stay in "this neck of the woods," If we are to judge by the comment on the Portland Oregon Advocate, which journal is published in the very far northwest. It says Most white people and some colored loaders hold the colored race and its aspirations too cheap. We have many glaring instances of such being the case in Portland. For instance, go to any number of theatres in Portland, where everybody is charged the same admission fee and on entering, some little, insignificant door-keeper or usher will bawl out, "Upstairs." And Mr. Colored Man will climb up the stairs without a word of preface What other race of people would do it? None. Why? Because they put a price on their race as high as any other race. Not so with the black man. He holds his race too cheap. When a colored man enters a restaurant or sits at a soda fountain conducted by a white man, he usually enters with "fear and trembling," and some have been heard to ask, "Do you serve colored people?" No other race of people would ask such a question. Why does Mr. Colored Man do it? Simply because he holds himself cheap and inferior. But let somebody call him cheap or infer for and to hear him talk one would think he'd fight a circle saw. It is not what one may call you that hurts it is the mean, dirty treatment given and the privileges and rights depleted. Those are the things to fight. The reason these conditions exist is because the "jim crow" Negro has penetrated that section of the country and the conditions have adjusted themselves accordingly. If colored people would stay away from these places and subordinate their appetites and desires to the advocacy of great principles, a change would be noted. We must begin this work at the cradle and not wait to try to remedy it near the grave. We must rid ourselves of this insulting, disreputable element. These reforms must come from within although the better clause of our people seem not to realize it. All through the North may be found the "neer do well," "happy go-lucky" colored folks who will take anything and do anything and the northerner, unlike some of the southerners has determined to make no discrimination in the treatment of all classes, when it comes to denying to any and all of them to rights to which they are legally entitled. --- COLORED FOLES IN THE NORTH Editor E. D. Cranady of the Portland Advocate is evidently having some trouble with the colored folks in that far northern clime, if we are to judge by his remarks in a recent issue of that readable journal. It says: The majority of our people who do not subscribe for and read colored newspapers, invariably give as an excuse, "there's nothing in the little old paper." This translated in their way of thinking means unless there is column after column of "Mrs. Blankent entailed at—", Mr. and Mrs. Blanketty Blank motored—"Miss Doffunny, the charming—" etc., or "Ding-Bugted shot by George for tampering with his wife's affections—" and other such sentational stuff. there "nothing In the paper." What about all the conservative reports of race progress in various parts of the country and abroad? Does this and other news and editorial opinion mean nothing to the surface-reader and surface liver? The average colored publisher is so accustomed to this class of people that he pays no attention to them, if he has any financial sense. People, who want their names in a newspaper and will pay for the publication of them will appreciate the news item when it is published. The other kind will either be satisfied with hearing some one say that their names appeared in the paper or they will walk a block or so to a neighbor's house borrow their journal for which they paid, scan the item, throw the paper aside with a satisfied air and then go back home with the expectation evidently of having the publisher call around and thank them for permitting the use of a name, which will not bring one penny to pay the steadily rising cost of newspaper publication. The Advocate continues: paper, indeed they think it shows a mark of superiority not to do so. Some of those have been heard to say, "O I never read a Negro newspaper." Yet these same persons will pay fift. teen or twenty dollars annually to the support of white journalism, when seldom if ever publishes anything about the colored race of a complimentary nature. One thing in favor of the colored newspaper, it publishes both the good and bad, with emphasis on the good. There are many excellent movements; worthy enterprises and deserving institutions and much news of value which never reach the newspaper columns simply because the leaders of these institutions are too big; so they think to patronize their own newspapers. An appeal of this kinn and character to this class of people amounts to "little or nothing." This class will never grow big enough to appreciate what you are talking about. They have reached the full statue and can only be brought to their senses by completely ignoring them, even to the extent of discontinuing the publication if financially necessary. The advice given by the Advocate is "sound to the core" and will have its effect upon those colored people who have race pride and understand that it is essential that the race in that section have an organ to properly represent them and to speak for them upon questions affecting the race. People, who will give the editor a meal worth $2.00 and the expense of the preparing of which for other people, who sit down at the table at the same time will approximate ten dollars would hesitate about contributing one dollar for a subscription for a short period of six months. Then Editor Canady tells about another class when he says: Again, every adverse criticism offered on some public function or public movement or public institution is called "dummy-rot" and the like, just as if everybody had to have the same opinion. When will our people grow his mouth, or little mouth, to date their newspapers whether they ever meet with their approval or not? The thing to do is to subscribe and PAY for the "little old paper" (with emphasis on the pay) read it and other suggestions to its editor whereby it may be improved. No editor, be he ever so wise thinks he knows it all. It is his business to give his opinion on public matters whether they agree with yours or not. There would be no editorials if he did not write this opinion. This latter class really tends to aggravate and annoy the average colored journalist because he knows that they know better. For our part, we take interest in that part of the Scriptures, which says "Let Ephraim alone; he is joined to his idols." We wait until "Ephram" is in need of recognition, which he cannot get from white journals and then we have the satisfaction of our life-time. We give him the toy stare, how him out of our office and proceed with our work. To Editor Canady, we would say, "Go thou and do like-wise." It would be well in concluding to pay a tribute to the other kind of owed people, those who make the publication of a colored newspaper possible. We have some, who have been paying their annual dues to us for more than thirty years and we feel like building to these faithful colored readers a monument. Certainly, visions of them will be in our memory until the heart falls and we go the way of all the earth. THE PRESENT SITUATION The situation in this State at the present time is peculiar. The "new day" Republicans anxious only for success, regardless as to how it is to be obtained or the principles involved became enamored with the disgruntled democrats who were unable to beat the democratic machine inside of the Democratic Party. They conceived the idea that if they could make terms with the regular Republican machine, they might attain success through this channel. Then topped up the Negro question. The Negroes were recognized by the Republican organization and as such formed a part and parcel of this political body. The old line white Republicans constituted a menace, but they could be easily handled. They would be allowed to sit in the party councils, but by skillful political manipulation their influence would be practically eliminated. They would be in the position of children in days past and gone, "seen and not heard." But the Negroes constituted a problem. How could they handle this situation? If the Negroes remained in the Republican Party, they reasoned, the Democrats would not come in and, if they put the Negroes out, it was figured, the nation's Republican leaders and the Republican administration at Washington would not countenance it. Then came the fine Italian hand of Hon'r. C. Bascom Slemp, the only Republican congressman from Virginia. He undertook the task of "ironing the matter out" with the national Republicans and with the President of the United States, supplemented by the influence of influential bankers and their interests, who assured him and the Republican administration that the scheme was feasible if a free hand was permitted on the part of those, ```markdown ``` THE BANK OF NEW YORK NORTH-WEST COR. 3RD & CLAY ST BANKING HOURS: 9 to 2. Saturdays, 9 to Your Patronage Solicited. John Mitchell, Jr., - President A. V. Norrell, Jr., - - Cashier ```markdown ``` who had charge of the matter. All they wanted was encouragement from Washington, the recognition of this Republican machine with fundamental Republican principles left out. His Excellency, Warren G. Harding hoped to be supported by the sure costful results and he gave his approval to the elimination of Negroes as members of the Republican Party. The schemers figured that it would be a case so far as the Negroes are concerned, of "all dressed up and no where to go," except in the Republican booth on election day or in the Democratic booth, on that same day and date. They figured that the better class of colored people would become so disgruntled that their anger would carry them inside of the Democratic Party with both "boots and baggage" and that this would enable them to raise the cry that the Democratic party had become the Negro party and they could get white folks from the Democratic organization. They evidently figured that the colored folks would divide into two or more classes. One would stay at home and the other class when it came to choice between a democratic Democrat and a Republican Democrat would vote for the latter and that the State Republican nominee would get many Negro votes and thousands of white ones. But the "best laid plaus of mice and men gang aft agoy." The colored people, generally known as Negroes became aroused in a manner never known before. Hon. C. Basson Slemp, who had been dealing only with Negro coal minors misunderstood the situation and he became astounded when he found out that the service, non-resisting Negroes had the audacity to nominate and support a ticket of their own. This has upset all political calculations and with the Negro question entirely eliminated as Col. Anderson says he must now find enough white support in Virginia to lead the rans and file of the white people into the Republican Party. The Democratic managers are now making concessions to the disgruntled democrats in their own ranks and many, who were yelling loudest in the interest of the Republicans have reached a whisper along the same line of talk, needless to state that the Dems have been thoroughly scared. have given positive evidence Hon. E. Lee Trinkle wants the Governor and he is not partici- to whether the votes cast io- are white or colored. Jew or Ge he is diplomatic enough not to anything to offend the Negroes-tion. Henry W. Anderson I record as not wanting the coo-ople. This information has got the remotest part of every count which colored folks reside. When white and colored newspapers dis- carry this information, the Dems he henchmen had it disseminate til all of the Negroes in the State their natural leaders, the pre- have been advised. A colored who would do emissary work for "lily whites" would be more tracised and regarded with more picion than a colored man, who do emissary work for the Dems This is the situation plainly a and the outcome of the present palign will be watched with in- by every politician throughout country. THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Governor Theodore Nash, of Portsmouth, Lieutenant-Governor J. T. Newsome, of Newport News, Attorney-General Thomas E. Jackson, of Staunton, Treasurer F. V. Bacchus, of Lynchburg, Secretary of the Commonwealth Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond, Supt. of Public Instruction J. L. Reed of Roanoke, Corporation Commissioner A. P. Brickhouse, of Exmore, Commissioner of Agriculture THE PLATFORM The Republican party of Virginia, in state convention assembled in the City of Richmond, the 6th day of September 1921 having full faith and confidence in the principles of Republicanism as declared by the founders of the National Republican party, and aided by such leaders as Lincoln Proderick Douglas, and the great Thoos. Roosevelt pledges undivided allegiance to those principles as the bed rock of our splendid institutions and as the only certain guarantee of the liberty and future security of all the people of this country in the uncertain future that lies before us. FRANCHISE We hold that under a government where the sovereign powers is lodged in the people and exercised by them through the executive franchise the right to vote is inseparable from the right to be voted for, and any attempt to separate these perogatives is a dangerous political heresay, contrary to the genius of our Republic form of Government and destructive of the ends and aims of a free people. The history of the colored people in Virginia for the past 20 years attests the fact that they are by no means chronic office seeker, and therefore, we denounce as a political subterfuge the pronouncement in the Republican Platform in whilf it attempts by innuendo to assure the white electorate that it is opposed to Negro office holders and thereby in its efforts to gain the support of a certain element of the white electorate, offers a gratuitous 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-saved 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, 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 draw 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 participate in the political affairs of the government and in party councils up on the untenable grounds that another group of citizens pays into the coffers of the State the greater part of its revenues. We believe too that character and experience are necessary qualities to be possessed by anyone offering for the suffrage of the electorate, 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 Beauty Aids for Dark Complexions HOW ART IMPROVES UPON NATURE. All self-respecting people naturally wish to look their best. It makes others respect, admire and love you. You owe it to yourself and your friends to make yourself as attractive as possible at all times, and here are a few suggestions for whitening the complexion, beautifying the hair and improving your looks generally. TO WHITEN THE SKIN. No matter how dark your complexion, you can brighten it to a most attractive light brown, or pink brown, by using Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whi-ner Ointment. It is perfectly safe, bleaches quickly, delightful to use and by far the most satisfactory skin bleach for dark complexions. SOFT. SMOOTH SKINS If your complexion is only skinny or bumpy, you can make it soft, smooth and attractive by using Dr. Erd Palm or his Skin Whitener Soap, followed by his superb Face Powder. They give you satisfaction and pleasure many times their cost TO BEAUTIFY HAIR. Do not use hot combs and trons. la never aallowed to hold. We condemn as utterly evasive 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 and unreservedly demand to be treated as other citizens with all the rights, privileges and immunities as accorded them, including the rights to vote and to be voted for still we resent the insinuation coming from certain sources that we desire or intend in anywise to disturb the very cordial relations existing between the best 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 expedition however urgent the call for its exercise should be allowed to disturb the basic principle of the party. EDUCATION The Republican party beloves in the education of all the people under a compulsory system with better pay for teachers and longer terms for pupils in the rural districts and while 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 College 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 assessment so that all sections of the State shall bear their due proportions of the public debt and obligations. We shaf: 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 heat highways through out the commonwealth and to that end we recommend the issuance of bonds of such small denominations as to enable the farm ar, the laborer, and others of inconstable capital to participate in this patriotic enterprise. They take the life out of the hair, make it brittle, break it and run your hair. Use only Dr. Palmer's Hair Dresser and you will find that it solv es perfectly the problem of making your hair straight, easy to dress attractive in looks and healthy in in growth. BEAUTY AIDS Dr. Fred Palmer has made a liftoy study of the toilet needs of dark complexions. His beauty Aids are not only the best but are perfectly harmless to the skin and hair; which they beautify and make healthy. Most drug stores sell Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparation Palmer's toilet requisites. The price of Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparation is 26 cents each, including war tax, with the exception of the Soap, which requires no tax and is 26 cents. If your druggist cannot supply you, we will send you any one of these items postpaid upon receipt of price or if you will send $1.03; we will send you a full size package of each Dr. Fred Palmer's decorated Skin Whitener Ointment; Skin Whitener Soap; Face Powder and Hair Dresser.

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 Roads 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 procedure of the Courts than it is for the Government to guarantee to one at 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 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 ten 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 pledgo herein made.

PREMIER DEMANDS FULL ALLE GIANCE TO BRITISH CROWN Negotiations Have Not Reached Stag of Break. View in London. If Parleys End, Present Home Rule Act Probably Will Be Invoked. DOOR IS NOT ENTIRELY CLOSED Suppression of Dail Firearm Would in All Likelihood Follow Breach. London. Sept. 15.—The arrangements for the proposed Irish peace conference are canceled but the negotiations still are not ruptured. That in brief, is the story of today's unexposed developments. Bamoun de Valera, the Irish Republic leader, having re-affirmed his claim to enter the conference as the representative of an independent sovereign state. Premier Lloyd George declares that such admission is irrefutable. He announces the cancellation of the arrangements for a conference and the necessity of his consulting his colleagues on the subject. The Premier is careful not to close the door to possible resumption of the negotiations. On the contrary, he gives De Valera and his supporters the ample time and opportunity to reconsider their position; he describes himself even as "alided at Gairloch necessitating a few days' delay although up to the present, has been heard in London of any indisposition on the part of Lloyd George. Deolaring that there was but one answer to a claim which would be equivalent to Great Britain's ac knowledgeing Ireland's right to negotiate a treaty of closer association with "some other foreign power," he mildly reproaches the Irish people for taking no single step to meet the generous ad valuces of the British government. LLOYD GEORGE STILL HOPEFUL The whole tone of the letter, in fact reveals that the Premier still retains hope of some more favorable development. Incidentally the Premier's letter clears up the mystifying events of the last few days, showing that De Valera's reply was taken by McGrath and Boland to Gairloch but that the Premier tried unsuccessfully to peruse modification of its tenor and offered to regard it as not having been delivered. The fact that De Valera and his colleagues failed to take advantage of this offer is considered an average factor and lends a serious aspect to the situation. The prospect is that there will be no more from either side for a few days. It is noteworthy that in the final exchanges the traditional diplomat is methods of sending notes by courier were dropped in favor of the more ex penditious telegraph lines. TEXT OF PREMIER'S REPLY The text of Lloyd George's reply which was telegraphed tonight says: "I informed your emissaries who came to me here Tuesday that reiteration of your claim to negotiate with His Majesty's government as the representative of an independent and sovereign state would make a conference between us impossible." They brought me a letter from you in which you specifically reaffirm that claim, stating that your nation has formally declared its independence and recognizes itself as a sovereign state, and it is, you added, as representatives of that state and as its chosen guardians that we have an authority or power to act on behalf of our people." I asked them to warn you of the very perilous effect of such a paragraph and offered to regard the letter as not delivered to me in order that you might have time to reconsider it. Despite this intimation you have now published the letter in its original form. I must accordingly cancel the arrangements for the conference next week at Inverness and must consult any colleagues on the course of action this new situation necessitates. I will communicate this to you as soon as possible, but, as I am for the moment up here, a few days' delay is inevitable. Meanwhile, I must make it absolutely clear that His Majesty's government can not reconsider its position which I have stated to you. If we accepted a conference with your delegates on the formal statement of the claim which you have reaffirmed, it would constitute an official recognition by His Majesty's government of the severances of Ireland from the empire and of its existence as an independent republic. It would moreover entitle you to declare, as of right acknowledged by us, that in preference to associate with the British empire you would pursue closer association by a treaty with some other foreign power. There is only one answer possible to such a claim as that. The great concessions which His Majesty's government made to the feeling of your people in order to so cure a lasting settlement deserved in my opinion some more generous response, but so far every advance has been made by us. On your part, you have not come to meet, us by a single step, but have merely reiterated in phrases of emphatic challenge the letter and spirit of your original claim. I am, yours faithfully, "LOYD GEORGE." The fact that Premier Lloyd George is suffering from a chill was confirmed at his official residence, in Downing Street (onight. It was also announced that it would be) necessary for the Premier to remain indoors for a few days. --- Read The Planet for information concerning the world's "doings" and watch our advertisements.

SETTLEMENT MUST BE BASED ON JUSTICE. Sinn Fien Leader Declares It His Duty to Reaffirm Position Previously Taken. SUGGESTS NO INTERPRETATION Quotes Words of Lloyd George As "True Answer to Criticism or Ireland's Attitude." --- London, Sept. 15.—The rock upon which the British-Irish negotiations are apparently have failed is the status of Siniff ein's delegation to the peacock conference. Lloyd George insists that they shall come as representatives of a domain, loyal to the crown, and an integral part of the British empire. De Valera insists that they shall go as representatives of an independent and sovereign state—to discuss the question of allegiance after they arrive. Nother De Valera nor Lloyd George will recode from this position. If the negotiations this endel the government is expected to put into force at once the present home rule act dissolving and suppressing the Draft Circum for its refusal to take the oath of allegiance to the King. This in turn will bring about an expression of Sinn Fein reargument, which doubtlessly will bring about a rupture of the truce and resumption of hostilities READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY The government has prepared a most elaborate military program in the event the situation necessitates the use of force. A new campaign described as "a revolution of military strength such as Ireland has never known before," outdoling all previous activities of the crown forces, will be set on foot. It is now learned that De Valera's reply, published this afternoon and in stating upon recognition of the soverigly of Ireland, was identical with the message carried by the two Sinn Féin couriers, Joseph McGrath and R. C. Barton to Gairloch earlier in the week. Its text was given out by De Valera in spite of the fact that he had been warned by Lloyd George that it was hopelessly unacceptable. The text of De Valera's note follows: We are unhesitating in, declaring our willingness to enter a conference to ascertain how the association of Ireland with the association of nations commonly known as the British empire, can best be reconciled with Irish national aspirations. SUMMON DAIL EIREANN Our readiness to contemplate such an association was indicated in our letter of August 10. We have, accordingly, summoned the Dall Eireann that we may submit to it for ratification the names of the representatives it is our intention to propose. We hope that these representatives will find it possible to be at Inverness on the date you suggest, September 20. In this final note, we deem it our duty to reaffirm that our position is and can only be as we have defined it throughout this correspondence. Our nation has formally declared its independence and recognizes itself as a sovereign state. It is only as representatives of that state and as its chosen guardians that we have a trusty or powers to act on behalf of our people. As regards the principle of government by consent of the governed, in the very nature of things it must be the basis of any agreement that will achieve the purpose we have at heart—the final reconciliation of our nation with yours. SUGGEST NO INTERPRETATION We have suggested no interpretation of that principle save in its every day interpretation—the sense, for ex example, in which it was understood by the plain men and women of the world when on January 3, 1918 you said: The settlement of Europe must be be based on such grounds of reason and justice as will give some promise of stability. Therefore, it is, that we feel that government with the consent of the governed must be the basis of any territorial settlement in this area. These words are the true answer to the criticism of our position which your last letter puts forward. The principle was understood then to mean the right of nations that had been an nexed to empires against their will to free themselves from the grappling hook. That is the sense in which we understand it. In reality, it is your government—when it seeks to rend our ancient nation and to partition its territory—that would give to the principle an interpretation that would unminimize the fabric of every democratic state and drive the civilized world back into tribalism.
