I do not know when I have get more relevant to Lois Richmond than I did Thursday, September 29th to attend the American Banker Association at Los Angeles California. Less minute business transaction added to this feeling coupled with a most embarrassing political situation in Virginia which further annoyed me. However, I have begun to realize and accept certain unaccountable happenings as destiny and have begun to accept them without question and so I entered the palatial Pullman Porter ear, took my seat in the place assumed to me and contented myelf with the invitable and was soon in Washington. IN WASHINGTON I left three at 13:02 that afternoon for Chiengue. The reservation had been secured but I had to apply at the sleeping car to secure it.

It contains 110 rooms. I was furnished with a suite consisting of double brass; bed rosette on room and private lavatory and bath. The service was excellent. The dining room service was all that one could wish. Each room is equipped with its own private tephen and a guest is a once in tenen with the outside world. THOSE AFRICAN LADIES Here too I met the charming Musa Kathleen Ea men and her aunt, Mrs. Casey Hayford of Sicily, Lone Africa. "Chicago is not so kind to us as was Richmond," remarked Mrs. Hayford. They were giving entertainments with her on the central figure. She was giving exhibition Africa dances. Mr. Bailley had related some peculiar experiences in the enraachment of colored people in white neighborhoods. Pamber Jace Binga still retained his residence, although it had been bombed many times.

A. would not tolerate any color line and recommitting his case to the school where he would be at liberty to apply without prejudice. While the Y. M. C. A Council was in session Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter applied by the pastor a hearing for the Equal Rights League should there be need for one, Mr. B. F. Syden. Colored member of the secretary's staff stood up for his race. REV. F. A.; BROWN CALLED TO PETERSBURG Rev. F. A. Brown, D. D., former pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Charlottesville, Va. has been recently called to take charge of the Bethany Baptist Church of Petersburg, Va. The ministerial chain of Petersburg has been made stronger, while Charlottesville's has been made weaker by the change. It is thought that the right man has gone to the right place. Rev. Brown is a strong and able preacher. He needs no comment in the State of Virginia. No one will M. B. M. REV. F. A. BROWN. D. D. deny the fact that he is one among the best in the Denomination. He has gone to Petersburg where he has a bright future. Whereas the church building is small, he has the people. Rev. Brown is not only a preacher but he is a church builder and a good pastor. He has served wel at some of the best churches in the State. He did more work in Charlotteville in a given time than all who had gone before him and set the standard so high he has made it hard for all who will come after him. Dr. Brown will begin on his new field at once, as he resigned the Ebenezer Baptist Church sixty days ago and since that time has had three calls. Rev. Brown has not made known his attitude relative to the State work. It is thought likely he will remain in the ranks of the Virginia Baptist State Convention and will support the great school at Lynchburg. At the last annual session of the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society, which was held September 6, 7 and 8, 1921 Mrs. Sallie B. Cogbill of South Richmond was elected Supreme Assistant Secretary of the Order, Mrs. Cogbill has been Deputy of South Richmond and Chesterfield County for seven years in which time she has done excellent work. Mrs. Susie H. Robinson succeeds her as Deputy with Mr. Geo. T. Moody as associate. We wish them much success. JUVENILE BANDS OF CALANTHE CELEBRATION Eastville Va..

EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS Leaving for California—On the Way to Chicago—"The Emperor Jones." I do not know when I have felt more reluctant to Wake Michigan than I did Thursday, September 29th to attend the American Bankers' Association at Los Angeles California. Last minute business transactions added to this feeling, coupled with a most embarrassing political situation in Virginia which further annoyed me. How ever, I have begun to realize and accept certain unaccountable happenings as destiny and have begun to accept them without question and so I entered the palatial Pullman Parlor car, took my seat in the place assigned to me and contented myself with the inevitable and was soon in Washington. IN WASHINGTON I left there at 3:03 that afternoon for Chicago. The reservation had been secured but I had to apply at the sleeping car to secure it. The conductor designated the seat and once more I was on my way to Chicago. Pullman porter George Trueheart was in charge. He knew me at once. This is a connecting line with the Broadway Limited and the main line is not reached until after the arrival at Harrisburg, Pa. Passengers in Pullman cars practically ride backwards until Baltimore is reached and then the train fronts the other way. A CHANCE TO EAT. I began to feel somewhat hungry, and upon opening my satchel to my surprise, I found luncheon in there. The call for dinner not being made, I asked the porter about it and he said that dinner could not be served until 5:30 and there were two chances. If I missed it on this dinner, I could secure it on the other diner at Harrisburg where we would arrive at 6:49. I waited and found a most hospitable reception on this palatial Broadway Limited. MET AT CHICAGO It has a club car, barber, valet and lady's chamber-maid. The one on this particular train was described by Porter Truheart as being a "high brown" Supper over I retired for the night awakening early and having the havalory all to my self. There were no incidents to attract attention. I found the red cap white porters scared at the Pennsylvania Station and so did the other passengers. I was the only colored passenger on 'the train. OTHER VISITORS THERE I was met by Mr. M. T. Bailey, who seems to have the "run of affairs" in the visiting colored colony. He had just met Miss Jeannette G. Wright of Massapan, Va., who came to attend the Chicago University to secure the degree of Ph. D. She was located at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Oral S. McChellan. A FINE HOSTELRY We met Mr. William H. Fields, National Grand Mester, Ancient Unit of Knights and Daughters of Africa. His headquarters are at St. Louis, Mo. I was soon at Hotel Vincennes, where I met the accomplished property and manager, Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett. This hostelry was formerly a white hotel and it has all modern conventions. It contains 110 rooms. I was furnished with a suite consisting of double brass bed reception room and private lavatory and bath. The service was excellent. The dining room service was all that one could wish. Each room is equipped with its own private telephone and a guest is all once in toun with the outside world THOSE AFRICAN LADIES Here too I met the charming Miss Kathleen Earman and her aunt, Mrs. Casely Hayford of Sierra Lone Africa. "Chicago is not so kind to us as was Richmond," remarked Mrs. Hayford. They were giving entertainments with her as the central figure. She was giving exhibition African dances. Mr. Bafkey and related some peculiar experiences in the encroachment of colored people in white neighborhoods. Banker Jesse Binga still retained his residence, although it had been bombed many times. WOULDN'T NOTICE HIM Dr. Frank James of Danville, Va. came to Chicago to take a special course at an institution in Chicago. He had previously corresponded with the management, and he had letters from the officials telling him to come. In addition, to this, he had brought with him three thousand dollars to place on a dookying account. When he presented himself at the school, he sat in the office all day. Others entered but, no one paid any attention to him. Dr. James had brought his family with him and he spoke to Mr. M. T. Bailey about employing counsel. Mr. Bailey named an attorney, who had been very successful in these cases. "But, said he, 'why not go back there and pass as an Indian'." Dr. James immediately embraced the idea. A VA. "INDIAN" The next day, he spoke to the clerk, "May he you do not know who I am," he said, "I am an Indian," "What tribe?" was the query. He told him. He was immediately received and he made a most enviable record for himself performing difficult operat ons and making extra money. As most of those operations, were performed in public he feared detection and he gave up the practice. But up to this time he is known at this institution as an Indian. He has since returned to Danville, Va. and expires to serve. I had learned that Charles S. GIB pin, the commedian, who had won fame on the stage and was recognized as a master of his profession by the highest critics of dramatic art was playing at the Playhouse, one of Chicago's most exclusive white theaters on the Michigan avenue Boyce avenue and so I decided to see him in person and to witness the play of "The Emperor Jones," which had given him the elevated place he now occupied. I succeeded in locating him at the residence of Mrs. Nettle Lewis 3641 Prattville Avenue but he had just left. I went to the Chicago Defender building, where he was in consultation with one of the local editors. I waited and then here came out a man of slender build, medium height and he Gipkin smile. I headed him my caribou but he knew me. "My first boss," he said and then he talked about old times and his mother "Aunt" Carole Mine. (Continued on Fourth Page) IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving memory of my dear mother Mrs. Amanda Smith who quietly passed away October 3, 1900—21 years ago.

Church, Brad dock, Pn. Sunday October 9. 1921 Subknot Dry Bones in the Valley W. W. C. A. NOTES "Where do you live?" was the subject of a very thoughtful and excellent address made by Prof. M. W. Connor at the Vesper service on Sunday afternoon. The quotation from Milton, "The mind is its own place. It makes a heaven of Hell, or Hell of Heaven" was the text used by the speaker. Prof. Connor in a very able manner showed that it was up to the individual to choose whether he should dwell in the house of the grouch, in the house of the warm-hearted Christian, house of the warmhearted Christian, the home of the optimist. The musical numbers were especially well rendered. The Comrade Corp will have charges of the Vesper services on Sunday, October 6th. An excellent program is being prepared. Remember the hour from 5 to 6 P. M. The Educational committee meet on Tuesday afternoon and planned the following classes; Tailoring dressmaking, art, millinery, cooking; nursing; current events and Bible. Registration for these classes will begin on October 15th. A general membership meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, October 11th from 6 to 7 30 o'clock. There will be a short business meeting after which a musical and literary program will be rendered. A social hour will follow. The Hositality committee assures you a very pleasant time. All members are urged to be present. JESSE PLANET Published Every Saturday by John Mitchell, Jr. at 110 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

We can win if we are determined so do. People who live easy usually die the other way, The weather is all right. It is money that is scarce. Read colored journals and pay for them. The race is gauged by its journal. People who are tired of this world and usually not in a condition to go to the other one. People who are always trying to get all the pleasure out of life before they die usually die disappointed. Some people will pay you and wont ow you and some people will owe you and wont pay you. Some people live on the theory that borrowing is all right and paying back what they borrow is all wrong. Nicodemus wanted to know "If a mah dio, shall ho livo again?" Some others want to know, "if ho livo, shall ho dio again?" Complaining people are to be found everywhere. When it is fully justified, all right. When it is not fully justified, all wrong. Colored folks as a rul₀ are more distrustful of each other than the white folks are distrustful of them, but they are getting out of this habit. Good weather helps the city folks but sometimes it ruins the farmers Bad weather sometimes in-convention cees the city folks, but it helps the farmers. Some of the members of the Ku Klux Klan may get to Heaven but if they dress there, like they do here, the Lord won't recognize them when they get there ```markdown ``` This reports coming in show that the colored folks of this State are aroused to the necessity of supporting the Republican ticket nominated by themselves at Richmond. We hope to God that they will put that Bible away on which President Harring took that oath of office and never permit any other President-elect to use it. Pay your subscription to the Planet promptly. An outspoken reputable organ will do more good right through more than a hoghead of oratory from a rostrum. Sunshine and dark clouds some times, the one and some times the other. You rarely have both at the same time, so when you have the one it is time to prepare for the other. Wearing fine clothes and gaiting find suppers are mighty bowitching and expansive, but if you will took over both of these habits, you can see the vision of the poor-house and Potter's Field. It is essentially necessary that every man and woman of lawful age register to the end that the ticket nominated at Richmond may be adequately supported and that a ringing rebuke may be administered to all who have taken part in this outrage. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois and his associates in Europe opened fire on Hon. Marcus Garvoy and his associates in the United States of America. Not to be outdone the latter sent the distinguished man of letters "a Roland for his Oliver." The Pan-African Congress condemned the scheme of Africa for Africans and the Universal Negro Improvement Association opposed the propaganda launched by its educated competitor on the other side of the water. Truly the Negroes are now in two hostile camps. As for the white folks, they are laughing. Despite all reports to the contrary, the colored people are progressing. This is why the agitation against them is increasing. DR. BOWIE'S DELIVERANCES. Rev. Dr. W. Russell Bowle of this city has the courage of his convictions. He is a valuable asset to any community and he represents a type of Southerners, whose ranks are being largely augmented. His ringing denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan has struck a sympathetic response in many quarters and it has demonstrated to the American people that the temporary aberration of the mind on the part of some of the unthinking radical elements will be met by prompt measures on the part of the right-thinking electorate who stand for law and order and who despise secrecy and lawlessness. This hooded figure with its masked face brings with it all of the terrors of the Middle Ages and the hideousness of the Spanish Inquisition. Already the Ku Klux Klan is denying responsibility for many outrages perpetrated by alleged, members of the Klan lawless elements who wear the regalia of the organization which makes the identification of the individual impossible. It will not be long before the men of the community will organize against the Ku Klux Klan just as the Ku Klux Klan has organized against the community and bloodhed must logically result. 1.

When the Sinn Feiners stopped fighting to engage in parleys with England through its statute Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, it lost its chance of absolute independence. No absolute freedom can be won except through sons of blood and by the exhaustion of the oppressing power. The agreement to meet the "leaders of the people they represent" spells failure for the Irish aspiration as a free and independent nation. The attitude of Ulster is a disturbing factor. Northern Ireland is loyal to the king and all efforts to swerve that section from its course has proven unavailing. This is explained by the statement that northern Ireland is Protestant and southern Ireland is Catholic, although many individuals, both Catholics and Protestant are loyal to the British Empire and its king. If an agreement is reached in London as a result of this park, by which Ireland will be accorded the rights and privileges of other British Provinces it will be one of the surprises of this century. THE RACIAL OUTLOOK. The great cause for uncashiness as to the future of the colored people is the incompatibility between race leaders and their apparent inability to agree upon a set line of action and their unwillingness to abide by the findings of a majority of their own kith and kin. They deal too largely in individualism and selfishness, while the vital interests of the race suffer. Whether a change will be noted in this or the next or the succeeding generation is the question. It behooves those of us who are far sighted enough to see these faults to bend our efforts to correct them. Sometimes it seems to be a hopeless and a hopeless task, but that satisfactory results may be obtained in time is a foregone conclusion. The steadily increasing dark clouds now visible upon the horizon of our economic and political future are largely of our own making. God can help us, our white friends can help us, but primarily we must help ourselves. Those whom we defend are sometimes our first traduces. Good women and persistent men banded to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA mother for the race's betterment can do much right through here now. This is a dark day for our political aspirations. Let us hope that the sunlight of a new day is now breaking in the distance. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The political situation in Virginia is anomalous. The Democratic Party in this State is split. Some people are of the opinion that it is well nigh evenly divided, due to the bitter campaign waged during the recent primary in which the political followers of State Senator E. Lee Trinkle of Wytheville are alleged to have taken unfair advantage of Hon. St. George Tucker of Loxington, Va. The final result was that, with the support of the women, State Senator Trinkle became the party nominee. Many Democrats are alleged to have remained outside of the Democratic Party with the understanding that they would be untrammeled at the election in November and could support the Republican nominee if they saw fit. As a result, the Democrats had taken over the Republican organization in this State with the province and understanding that they would be permitted to dictate the policy and eliminate the Norgre as a political factor to the extent of absolutely excluding him in the management of party affairs. The new managers won't so far as to bar from the convention hall at Norfolk, Va., three colored delegates regularly elected by the "illy-white" them selves. One of these had signed the credentials of his white associates and they were recognized by the committee on credentials by virtue of such signature. Yet he himself was excluded from the convention hall, wholly and solely upon the ground of his race and color. Colored Republicans and white ones too for that matter saw the Republican Party ruthlessly captured by the hy-brid organization, its fundamental principles violated and disregarded and a campaign launched with no reference to past achievements or future pledges. The colored Republicans and the old line white Republicans could not help themselves. They were unwilling to support the Democratic ticket, labeled as Democratic or a Democrat' ticket labeled as regular Republican so they proceeded to nominate a ticket of their own appealing to the thoughtful electorate to support it. The Republi-can standard bearer, so-called who is Col. Henry W. Anderson makes no concealment of his antipathy towards colored people. He takes the position that they should not apprehend to political office. Leadership should be confided to white men and colored people should know their places and keep them. This doctrine sounds like 1870 and not like 1921. It is for the right-thinking people of this State to express an opinion upon this all important subject. With colored people having held office in this country from Maine to Texas, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and with their records standing forth-with the stamp of officiency and good service, it seems to be too late to turn back the hands upon the dial-plate of official political recognition. AN EXPLANATION THAT EXPLAINS. The designation "Lily-Black" is not recognized by the Republicans who nominated a ticket in this city for the reason that the disgruntled Democrats star Republican organization openly repudiated not only the colored Republicans, but the "old line" white Republicans as well. The convention was open to both white and colored Republicans, although only colored Republicans were nominated. The head of the ticket declined to support a movement on the Republican side in which the color-line was drawn and the race issue was emphasized. He insisted upon being consistent. The Republican conventions have always nominated white men on the ticket for the very good reason that no colored men aspire to such honors. Now, the Republican convention has nominated all colored candidates for the reason that no white candidates aspired to such honors. We cannot see them but what the proper course is being pursued. The Republicans who believe in the fundamental principles of the party are urged to support this ticket. If by chance on the part of the white Republicans the vote in the State would be small in November the course and notound those who regarded the movement with ridicu this is the most positive and forceful way to emphasize our oppention to present party management. Will the colored folks exercise their right of franchise and vote or will they sulk in their tents and stay at home? This is the question. STILL DISAGREEMENT Our esteemed contemporary. The Cleveland Gazette has this to say: Our highly esteemed contemporary, the Richmond Planet has the wrong impression: There is positively no "misunderstanding between Mr. Charles Cottrell of Toledo Ohio and the editor of The Gazette as far as we know. What we published a few weeks ago, relative to his real status with the Harding administration was the truth and not intended to harm him or any one else but simply to "clarify the political atmosphere" particularly in the vicinity of many Afro-American newspaper offices throughout the country We are pleased and gratified to know that there is no misunderstanding between the two distinguished Ohio Leaders. We disagree though again with our contemporary relative to the necessity for any one, who has been reading the Gazette or who has been observing Ohio politics for any length of time "knowing the truth". So far as our information and observation go Hon. H. C. Smith led the fight among the colored voters for Hon. Warren G. Harding from start to finish. He was uncompromising in his advocacy of the claims of this distinguished Ohioan and like Henry of Navarro his white political plume could be seen at all times in the for- front of the fight. Certainly, he convinced a large number of colored leaders and induced them to swing to the support of Senator Harding's candidacy. We naturally thought and believed that he would have the ear of the present administration and when the facts are known we hope that he may be elevated to that position to which his transcon dent service in the past campaign en titles him. ANDREW ELECTED TO SEAT IN CONGRESS. Vigorous Democratic Campaign Brings No Reaction Against Republicaus. Boston, September 27.—Col. A. Piatt Andrew of Gloucester, Republican, was elected to Congress in today's special election in the Sixth District by a majority of 15,757 receiving more than three votes to every one for his Democratic opponent, Charles I. Pettlingi of Amosbury. The election proved conclusively that there is no "recession" against the Har ding Administration as far as Essex county is concerned. While to day's total vote was less than 50 per cent of that cast in the district last fall, Andrew's total of 22, 545 was more than 76 per cent. of the total, while Lufkin's 47,231 last November was just 76 per cent of the total. The Republicans, therefore, are entitled t more than the satisfaction from Andrew's victory, which has been conceded them from the start. They have been able to maintain the lines established in last November's record vote in face of a vigorous cam paign by the Democrats to create dissatisfaction with what has been done by the Republicans since they came into power last March. Andrew carried every city and town in the district except Amnesbury, his opponents home, which went for the Democratic candidate by 51 votes. Gloucester home city of the Republican candidate which gave him the un precedented ratio of 18 to 1 in the primary election was equally impressive in today's election. Andrew carrying the city by 3,964 votes or a ratio of 15 to 1. The Andrew vote showed that the acrimonious primary campaign had left no scars for he run particularly strong in places which were friendly to his chief opponent in the primary, Ransom C. Pingree, Pingree's city of Haverhill rolled up 4.526 for the Republican candidate, approximately 50 per cent of the Lufkin total last fall while Pettingill's vote there was less than 30 per cent of that received by O'Connell the Democratic candidate against Lufkin. Col. Andre issued the following statement at his home in Gloucester tonight. I am infinitely grateful to the voters of the district for their magnificent tribute. I shall do my best to prove worthy of their trust." $100 DEATH CLAIM PAID Holmesburg, Pa., September, 1921 This is acknowledge with the highest appreciation the prompt payment amount of $100.00 paid by Mr. A.

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. T. Brickhouse, of Exmore, Commissioner of Agriculture THE PLATFORM The Republican party of Virginia, in state convention assembled in the City of Richmond, the 5th 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 adhered to by such leaders as Lincoln Frederick Douglas, and the great Theo. 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 heresy, contrary to the genius of our Republic form or 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 seekers, and therefore, we denounce as a political subterfuge the pronouncement in the Republican Platform in which, 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-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, 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 sinister 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 fall 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 FOR LEASE OR RENT Furnished or unfurnished, the newly converted hotel building, Corner Bay and Amherst street on trolley lines and within five minutes walle of Union Station.

NEWMAN'S SHOE REPAIRING 515 E. Clay St., Richmond, Va. Phone Mad. 2274—W Read The Planet and keep informed as to what our Race is doing in world and domestic affairs We condemn as utterly avasive 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 expediency 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. The Republican party believes 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. 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 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 affecting our public revenues and taxes and to recommend such legislation as will guarantee amp'le funds to prosecute the public business and to meet the obligations incurred by the state with absolute fairness to all classes of our citizens. 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 farmer, the laborer, and others of inconsiderable capital to participate in this patriotic enterprise.

We believe that the State owes a special duty to the farmers and to that 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, fortile fields, and the development of the Hampton Roads to take her proper place in the front rank of the progressive states of the Union. CGURTS 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 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.

Mr. Glipin said that he had played in Richmond and had called several times to see me while there, but I was out. Then I bid him good-bye and passed out with Mr. Bailey to complete the circuit, so to speak. That night he and I left Hotel Vincennes in an automobile for the Playhouse. We were evidently earl. In a large electric sign appaired the words, "The Impersonal Joins with Charles S. Glipin." This humble Virginia colored I had succeeded in having his name emblazoned in the "Great White Way." "AUNT" CAROLINE'S BOY I was thinking now how time changes. "Aunt" Caroline Gilpin's boy, who had been a "run around," a wild sort of a chtracter had at last made good and I was entering this theater to witness the pay that brought about his signal triumph. It was nearly 8 o'clock. Chicago time, for Chicago, Mike New York had a time of it own. They had moved their city clocks for ward while the railroad clocks con formed to meridian time. Mr. Bailey figured that the curtain would rise at 8:15 but it did not. Few people had arrived Colored people finally came in but the number did not exceed twenty so far as I could observe. "SUPPRESSED DESIRES" But the theatre was now filling rapidly. Then came 8:30 P. M. and then 8:35. The curtain was rising. Then came the lights. For the first time in my experience I was in a play house of high degree in which there was no orchestra. The scats had cut me $2.20 each. They came high but I came to pay the price. Then arose the second curtain after the theater had been darkened. We were to witness a two scene play, entitled "Suppressed Desires," in which Charles S. Gilpin had no part. It told the story of a disagreement between a married couple and dealt 'with' the physical theories. When one of the devices found out that the logical deduction was the separation of herself from her own busband and the transfer of his affections to her sister, she was frantically angry. This led from the highest type of white civilization to the lowest type of black degeneracy, and in the latter Mr. Charles S. Gilpin figured with a fidelity to the original that won fulsome praise from all quarters in recognition of his transcen dent ability. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. GIGANTIC FEATURE IS ADDED TO BIG CIRCUS. With Europe's biggest trained animal show as one of many splendid features, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Combined Shows will exhibit afternoon and night at Richmond, Tuesday October 18. This marvel circus of 1921 offers the greatest congress of attractions in history. Without eliminating any of the thousand thrills produced by hundreds of the most skillful men and women performers, the Ringling Brothers have added, without additional charge the most sensational of wild beast displays. Not only will you see the artists who occupy the three rings, five stages, the great hippodrome track and the aerial rigging in the tent top out four spacious steel arenas filled with wild beasts as well. Tigers riding peacefully on the backs of elephants, black-mauled Afri can lions springing to and from galloping horses, great troupes of polar bears walking ropes or playing at see saw, leopards jumping through hoops of fire—these are some of the marvelous things that these wonderful animals do. While these beautiful creatures are under absolute control, they are presented only in great areas of steel. Elsewhere in the main tunt you will see camels performing much after the fashion of horses—an ag never before . presented anywhere. There are five troupes of trained salsa whole heifes of remarkable dogs, mon keys, pigs and pigeons. Twenty-six elephants will perform at one time. Others will do tricks at the top of high podestals and others circle the entire tent, kicking footballas they go. Splendid groups of trained stallions, Shelties and menage horses form another feature. Aside from the dumb actors are fully 600 men and wo men stars, and nearly 100 clowns. A gorgeous tournament opens the program. The menagerie, which is entirely separate from the animals used in the circus performance, is the biggest ever traveled. Catarrh Treated Free 10 days to powder quick relief. He will be free from dehydration and headache if found in the hospital and if he can complete his treatment. He will be cared for at 10 a.m. Davenport, Iowa TO THE BAPTIST WOMEN OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA Dear Sisters:— At the meeting of the Women's Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention, which met in Newport News, Va., among the many items of special interest was one, to send our beloved President, Mrs. L. W. Tyrell to Africa, which in itself, besides going into further discussion, bespeaks quite an achievement for the Women. Mrs. Tyrell besides being President of the Women's Educational and Missionary Convention of the State of Virginia is an untiring Christian Worl and is a Representative Woman, who will not only bring credit to our Organization, but her trip will most assuredly bear much fruit for the up lift of Humanity, not only in our State but generally, for she is the right woman in the right place at the right time. Therefore, as the plea was made at our meeting to raise one thousand ($1,000) dollars it is very necessary that we let busy it to raise this small sum, which in itself is very inadequate to meet the demands of so extensive trip. So let us see that every penny of this is raised. This plea comes to you and to me to Individuals and Circles. Therefore, we exhort you, not to put off but give this your undivided attention at once. And we assure you, that much good will eventually accrue from the small sacrifice that we are called upon at this time to make. Let us make it cheerfully and give until we can feel an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, for it is always more blessed to give than to receive. The first Clarion Call was made for September 1st As Treasurer of this Fund we have not had reasons to feel over enthusiastic over the way the different organizations or circles are responding to this necular cause. While some have already sent in their portion, many others have not yet heeded the call. The second call is made for October 1st. Christian Women, may these few remarks serve as a general reminder ad awaken us to a sense of activity. Then let us meet the demand, thereby clearing the way by November 1st, for this great voyage of our deserving President. With every good wish for the Womanhood of the State, I am.

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 fore be operated 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 Ave., Richmond Va. Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915.

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 dorsical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also dellarious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, 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 medicines 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. Do 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.

A You Must Get Rid of That Catarrh The amount of sickness and suffering in the world is not surprising when we remember that ninety-seven persons out of every hundred have Catarrh in some form, and that most of the diseases of the human family may be described as a catarrhal condition. Endorsed by Your Parents and Grandparents The same inflammation and irritation of the mucous membranes found in the nose and throat in connection with nasal catarrh may also be located in any other organ of the body. To allay this inflammation, the poisons must be removed and proper nutrition carried to the diseased mucous membranes. The influence of Pe-ru-na upon the organs of digestion and elimination helps to purify and enrich the blood. The elements of nourishment and health are carried to every organ and extremity. While the results following the intelligent use of Pe-ru-na sometimes seem little short of marvelous it is not claimed that the remedy is a "cure-all." Pe-ru-na possesses tonic properties which, with its other qualities make of it a most powerful agent in soothing ragged nerves, in bringing every vital organ into normal action and restoring the natural strength and vigor of the body. Two generations have known Pe-ru-na for what it is, an effective emergency remedy, a powerful health building force. Thousands will testify to the merits of Dr. Hartman's Pe-ru-na for Catarrh in every form and shape.
