We commend the Negro citizen upon their great victory in Virginia, and our congratulations extend not only to Virginia but to Negro citizens of every State. Republican principles cannot be different in Virginia from the same principles in Ohio and Massachusetts, especially when sponsored by National Republic Leaders. Therefore, if Negroes can be insulted and thrown out of the party because of their race in Virginia they will also be thrown out when the exiley arises, in Ohio and other Northern States. --- Receive Their Friends.

GRAND WORTHY RULER ON VACATION. Breaks Into the Little Mountain State—All Records Smashed as She Sets Up a Lodge in Six Days, W. E. Porter Made State Deputy for West Virginia—Board Member M. L. Perkins Degree Master. The Grand Worthy Ruler of the Imperial Order of King David, Mrs. A. G. Thompson, left Richmond over the C. & O. Railroad in a Pullman car on October 13th at 3:30 P. M. At 9:30 the next morning the porter informed me that the first lap of 206 miles had been made, and that it was time to leave the main line for Mount Hope. Having arrived in Thurmond too late for the Loup Creek train, a taxi was used to complete the journey to Mount Hope. At 10:15 the residence of Rev. L. A. Perkins, on East Main Street, was reached. Rev. Perkins was in Tolobo, Ohio, on his vacation, and his wife, our own Nannie B. Jones-Perkins, was at the W. S. C., where she is instructor in music, but we found her brother, J. D. Jones, of Boston, Mass., spending his vacation in the West Virginia mountains. He soon took me to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Perkins, on Monroe Street. Having reached the end of my journey, I was at once made to feel at home. A real vacation was now mine. On Sunday morning I attended divine services at the First Union Baptist Church, of which Rev. L. A. Perkins is pastor. He was away, and Rev. J. C. Streets, a student at the Baptist Seminary and College, preached a splendid sermon. After the services Brother M. L. Perkins introduced me, and I was given a few moments. Of course I was glad to see the beautiful, modern, up-to-date church building, splendid choir with Ms. N. R. J. Perkins at the organ, a ten-point standard Sunday school, an appreciative audience. But I was sorry to learn that the beautiful little mountain city, yea, the whole state, was without a lodge of the L. O. of K. D. So I spent the time allotted me telling them of the advantages and benefits of our order. Such was the impression made at the close of the services Mr. W. E. Potter came forward and volunteered to get up a club, making a long story short, on October 22d a house of 22s was set up with Mr. W. E. Potter as governor and a coes of officers reporting every church in the city. Thus "The devious" gave broken into West Virginia. We around alld, L. P. Potter, who is a member of the Christian" and his cousin, Mr. J. B. Potter, one of the early counties of the area very helpful in returning to the city. We made a special appeal to West Virginia, in the name of the State. We are expecting great things from our new light mode, the case. Mount Hope to be the heart of the New York city cool hold, has a city council and is, for more and financial center, it is desired to be one of the largest and most influential cities in the State. Most of our college people own their homes. Their high school building is a thing of luxury. Their teachers all well prepared and the audio files live in town on the TV. Our short stay in Mount Hope made it impossible to receive and enjoy all the hospitality that the people had in store for me. How much he took comes well entertained and loved by Mr. and Mrs. M. Parkin, we were entertained at lunch by Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Wishon, Rev. and Mrs. L. A. Perkins, Rev. and Mrs. M. Willis over the lunch and home at Oak Hill and made me a tour of the courtyard, and been prepared. All passed to be with each other in the courtyard for me Sunday. Google and I again visited Union Street Church in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Harry King came in their big dining car and was invited to shake, where we visited the Pinewood Hotel and had refreshments. On our return Mrs. H. B. Hundley, who was in the touring car, took us up to Mrs. A. B. Hall's home; there a most splendid reception awaited us. The day was closed with a splendid communion service. Rev. Parkin is very usual in community and State. On Monday morning at 5 o'clock we took a taxi for Thurmond. Thus ended a splendid vacation in West Virginia. Long live the good people of Mount Hope. We were harried by the weather and pleased to see the beautiful highways over which cars sped in every direction through the State. --- MEN AND WOMEN WANTED MEN AND WOMEN in all cities of towns to sell Blue White Washington Company.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS HON, MARCUS GARVEY WRITE THE ARMS CONFERENCE. Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing Negroes throughout the world, sent the following telegram to the President and members of the Armament Conference at Washington today: November 11, 1924 "President and Members of the International Conference on Desarmament, care of Secretary of Conference, Pan-American Building, Washington. "I salute you in the name of democracy and for the cause of justice on behalf of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. You honorable conference now sitting up Washington has a purpose that has been announced and advertised to the world for several months. You were called together by the President of the Democratic Republic of the United States of America to discuss the problem of armaments, the settlement of which you believe will insure the perpetual peace of the world. As the elected spokesman of the Negro peoples of the world who desire freedom, politically, industrially, educationally, socially and religiously, as well as a full enjoyment of world democracy and a national independence all our own, on the continent of Africa, it is for me to inform you of a little slight that has been shown to four hundred million Negroes who form a part of this world's population. At the Nexsalles Peace Conference the statesmen who gathered there made the awful mistake of legalizing the disposition of other peoples lands especially in Africa, believing that a world peace would have been established after a conference. The mistake is now now there. There can be no peace without mortals so long as the strong of humanity oppresses the weak in the one process of time and through evolution the weak will one day turn back like a worm and then humanity's hope of peace will be shattered. All our have brains, some use their abilities for investing destructive implements of warfare, such as guns, gunpowder, and other destructive chemicals. The Negro for hundreds of years has attempted nothing destructive in the past and good will of humanity, in fact, he has not ever made an attempt to make the world know that he is alive, nectarless. Like the weasel, the Negro will one day turn, I humbly ask you the reason that your Honorable Conference not but like the ones Nexsalles but that you realize and appreciate the fact that Negro in man and that there can be no destruction of world upon you. counsel can be sent to him even to help him with his work. He is not bound to the world of Scotland but he is bound to the realities of democracy. He has to his own country and I think it should be due to the world. Give the Newer calm in education, in politics, in industry, because he is entitled to human rights. I am hereby to recommend to your Honorable Conference these quoted words of President Harding. Norwegians have blood, they have souls, and for the cause of liberty they feel that the conduct of men like Alexander, Hamilton, Chesapeake, Newham, Wellingham, Barton, is immutable, and that peace not founded on real human life will only be a temporary of the future invation. "I desire perfect peace." I trust your Honorable Conference will not take into consideration, therefore, that there are our humiliated Norwegians in the world who are bound Africa as their political home. We are the European and the Arctic Africa. I promise your commission will be on the doorstep that it will be a common place of the world. Both nations will work together to save the rights of Europe and Asia and Asia is the right of Europe, and accordingly save every race and nation to die, and let these be peace made. On behalf of the four hundred million Norwegians of the world not represented at your Honorable Conference, I have the honor to be, You're best servant MARCUS GARVRY President, General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and First Provisional President of Africa, New York. --- Jobilee Songsters of David Will Sing Sunday for Brotherhood Class.

The result of the last war or may not be convincing to the National Republican leaders who want to swap Negro Republicans for Southern lily-whites but will, nevertheless, prove illuminating and informing. Virginia, selected by the Hon. John T. Adams, chairman of the National Committee, as the pilot of Southern Republicanism," with the Hon. Pascow Sleep a four-layer, has been bisoned to the final wave of Democratic and Negro votes and never got within 70,000 miles of the shore. The "pilot" is in such devilish bad shape that it seems beyond repair. Now the Hon. Mr. Adams will have to look around and select North Carolina or Georgia, being next in line of候选 as the new "pilot." We fervently thank God for the splendid Virginia verdict and for the many contribution of the Negro voters of Virginia to it. No former seceding state except Tennessee for fifty years has gone Republican or even elected a failed or independent ticket without the support of the Negro, and without his support there is not the slightest sign that there will be a break in the solid South. The party has attempted, however, to choose Negro to Negro in the South and offers not only Petalot patronage and refusal to appoint Nerroes to office in that section, but to go further and indorse Democratic distranchisement and the application of that damnable method in the "Republican" organization of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. We congratulate the Negro citizens upon their great victory in Virginia, and our congratulations extend not only to Virginians but to Negro citizens of every State. Republican principles cannot be different in Virginia from the same principles in Ohio and Massachusetts, especially when sponsored by National Republican leaders. Therefore, if Negroes are not allowed to participate in the party because of their race in Virginia they will also be thrown out when the exigency arises. in Ohio and other Northern States.

GALANY OF NEGRO STARS TO ADDRESS MOBILIST AT DETROIT DETROIT --- Negro educational and religious leaders will take prominent parts in the Methodist National Conference at the Detroit Area meeting of that denomination, November 15-17 immediately following the national gathering, according to information reaching here today. In addition to Dr. Aggrey, whose appearance was previously announced Professor Eunnett J. Scott, Secretary Treasure of the Methodist Church, Washington D. C. and former associate of Dr. Booker T. Washington, will address the conference. He will speak on Present-Day Negro Thought dealing with the problems of the Negro group in America under postwar conditions and the reaction of the race toward its present situation, economically, politically and socially. Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, the first Negro Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church and former editor of the Southwestern journal Outline outline the activities of the Church and the ferment of the living conditions of the race. His topic is, "Methodist Episcopal Church and the Negro." The Reverend W. A. C. Hughes, Director of the Bureau of Negro Work for the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, Philadelphia, and Dr. P. J. Mavosty, a former Michigan minister, now Corresponding Secretary of the Board of Education for Negroes, are also to speak at the Detroit Conferences. The Board of Education for Negroes operates eighteen colleges and academies in the South and the Board of Home Missions is organizing and building several score now churches for Negro congregations throughout the country. GRAND WORTHY RULER ON VACATION. Breaks Into the Little Mountain State—All Records Smashed as She Sets Up a Lodge in Six Days, W. E. Porter Made State Deputy for West Virginia—Board Member M. L. Perkins Degree Master. The Grand Worthy Ruler of the Imperial Order of King David, Mrs. A. G. Thompson left Richmond over the C. & O. Railroad in a Pullman car on October 13th at 9:30 P. M. At 9:30 the next morning the porter informed me that the first lap of 306 miles had been made, and that it was time to leave the line for Mount Hope. Having arrived in the Mount Hope too late for the Loup Creek tran, we were used to complete the journey to Mount Hope. At 10:15 the residence of Rev. L. A. Perkins, on East Main Street, was reached. Rev. Perkins was in Toledo, Ohio, on his vacation, and his wife, our own W. C. C., was at the W. S. C., where she is in music, but we found her brother, J. D. Jones, of Boston, Mass., spending his vacation in the West Virginia mountains. He soon took me to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Perkins, on Monroe Street. Having reached the end of my journey, I was at once made to feel at home. A real vacation was now mine. On Sunday morning I attended divine services at the First Union Baptist Church, of which Rev. L. A. Perkins is pastor. He was away, and Rev. J. C. Streets, a student at the Baptist Seminary and College, preached a splendid sermon. After the services Brother M. L. Perkins introduced me, and I was given a few minutes to see the beautiful, modern up-date church building, splendidly appointed with Mrs. N. B. J. Perkins at the organ, a ten-point standard Sunday school, an appreciative audience, but I was sorry to learn that the beautiful little mountain city, yea, the whole State, was without a lodge of the I. O. of K. D. So I spent the time allotted me telling them of the advantages and benefits of our order. Such was the impression made in a close of the services Mr. W. E. Porter, the minister, unteered to get up a club. Making a long story short, on October 22d a lodge of 25 was set up with Mr. W. E. Porter as governor and a corps of officers representing every church in the city. Thus "The devils" have broken into West Virginia. We found Mr. M. L. Perkins, who is a member of the "Board," and as his daughter, Mrs. Kagdale, as well as Mrs. N. B. J. Perkins, one of the early members of the church, very helpful in setting up the notice. We made State Deputy for West Virginia, Mr. M. L. Perkins is degree chief for the State. We are expecting great things from our new field under these men. Mount Hope is in the heart of the New River coal fields, has a city charter, and is a business and financial center, is designed to be one of the largest and most central cities in the State. Most of the colored people own their own homes. Their high school building is a thing of beauty. Their teachers are well prepared and the authorities are in favor of the best schools. Our short stay in Mount Hope made it impossible to receive and enjoy all the hospitalities that the people had in store for me. However, besides being well entertained at all times by Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Perkins, we were entertained at luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Wiborn, Rev. and Mrs. L. A. Persins, Lawyer J. M. Ellis came over to home at Oak Hill and took me in his car, where a luncheon had been prepared. All seemed to vie with each other in making it pleasant for me. Sunday, October 22d, I again visited Great Union Baptist Church; the pastor, Rev. Perkins, was at his post and preached a soul-stirring sermon. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Harry King came in their big touring car and we motored to Lockley, where we visited the Pioneer Hotel and had refreshments. In Lockley, Mrs. I. H. Hundley, who was in the touring party, took us up to Mrs. A. B. Hull's home; there a most splendid communion awaited us. The day was closed with a splendid communion service. Rev. Perkins is very useful in community and State. On Monday morning at 5 o'clock we took a taxi for Thurmond. Thus ended a splendid vacation in West Virginia. Long live the good people of Mount Hope. We were charmed by the aptly poetic pleasures to see the beautiful highways over which cars sped in every direction through the State. --- MEN AND WOMEN WANTED.

We had a large gathering in our Sunday School. The Superintendents Mr. John Foster and Miss Alma Logan are putting the school over the top. The Training Class is putting on steam and is ready to start on her journey. We had the presence last Sunday of Rev. R, F. Carter, pastor of Mt. Zoar and New Hope Baptist Churches. Of course, Rev. Cobb gave him a chance to preach to his people. He preached a strong gospel sermon, and our hearts were lifted. At 8:30 the T. E. L. Bible Class held their installation services. After a brief outline of the history of the class, Rev. R. F. Carter, of Washington, D. C. installed the officers. The Rev. Mr. Clarke, pastor of the Fulton Baptist Church (white) delivered an electrifying sermon on, "Jesus the Teacher." Some of his good people accompanied him. We are always glad to have our white friends around and worship with us. Remarks were made by Rev. C. A. Cobbs. Music was rendered by the Peace Choir of Church Hill, led by Mr. Frank Jeter. The subject tomorrow morning will be "Whether God Hears A Sinner Pray." Let us come early and enter in the devotional service. Monday night, November 21st, a three act play entitled "Old Fashion Mother" will be given at our Church. Adults 15 cents, children 10 cents, Miss Ruth Morris, manager. Sirs W. E. Brown, L. Taylor and F. E. Lighter are yet sick. There are others. Let us go and see them. During the funeral of the wife of Mr. Harvey Johnson last Friday, the hair has to be transferred for a while, driving the car for few minutes later returning. Fridhay being the day of the burial of the Unknown Soldier, many who were known were buried in our city and Mr. Scott, the undertaker could not hire an extra hearse that day. Mr. R. H. Lightner, undertaker and embalmer of Raleigh, N. C. was in the city last week visiting his brother Frank E. Lightner, Mrs. Bessie Willis, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Lightner. We are always glad to see Mr. Harvey Johnson, whenever he is in the city. RISING MT. ZION CHURCH At 11:30 A. M. the funeral service of Miss Irene Hill was held at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The Rev. O. B. Simms solicited. Miss Hill was a devout member of the above mentioned Church, always manifesting a spirit of unifying devotion to His cause. Hence for such an important day, "The one not dead, the steeple." Our communion last Sunday was indeed a glorious service. The Holy Ghost seemed to have taken root in every heart present, thus causing them to give praises to His Holy Name. We regret however that we were unable to seat every one present, therefore any one that desires a comfortable seat must come on the floor. Next Sunday marks the beginning of the installation services of our pastor. The program for the week is as follows: Sunday, November 20 11:30 A.M. M. D., A. J. Jones, at 1:30 P.M. M. Rev, A. D. Daly; Monday night, Rev, E. Payne, D. D.; Tuesday night, Rev, W. H. Stokes, Ph. D.; Wednesday night, Rev, N. B. Brown, B. Th. Thursday night, Rev, W. T. Johnson, Rev, M. night, Rev, W. C. A.

Johnson, archi- tected, was held at the Rising Mist. Zion Church Friday evening, at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Johnson departed this life Tuesday evening, November 8. We can safely say she led a sincere Christian life, from the many condolences coming from the various deme- nants of the Jerusalem Baptist Church of the Church of which she was a member. The day she slept in Jesus find rest eternal. Hobbs, pastor, preached the funeral and he spoke in glowing terms of the life and works of Mrs. Johnson. --- Well Known Attorney Elected to Head Local N.

The local branch has planned a vigorous campaign under the new leadership and therefore urge all race-loving persons to join the organization. PRICE, FIVE CENTS HON, MARCUS GARVEY WRITES THE ARMS CONFERENCE. Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing Negroes throughout the world, sent the following telegram to the President and members of the Armament Conference at Washington today: "President and Members of the International Conference on Disarmament, care of Secretary of Conference, Pan-American Building, Washington. **"I salute you, the name of democracy and for the cause of justice on behalf of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Your honorable conference now sitting up Washington has a purpose that has been announced and advertised to the world for several months. You were called together by the President of Democratic Republic of the United States to advocate the problem of armaments, the settlement of which you believe will insure the perpetual peace of the world. As the elected spokesman of the Negro peoples of the world who desire freedom, politically, industrially, educationally, socially and religiously, as well as a national independent democracy and a national independent democracy, own on the continent of Africa, it is for me to inform you of a little sight that has been shown to four hundred million Negroes who form a part of this world's population. At the Versalles Peace Conference the statesmen who gathered there mistakenly made a mistake of legislating for the direct process of time and through even the smallest people's lands (especially in Africa without taking them into consideration, believing that a world peace could have been established after such a conference. The mistake is now apparent. There can be no peace among us mortals so long as the strong of humanity oppresses the weak of humanity one process of time will one day turn even like the worm and then humanity's hope of peace will be shattered. All men have brains, some use their abilities for inventing destructive implements of warfare, such as guns, gunpowder, gas and other destructive weapons. The Negro for hundreds of years has been doing destructive to the peace and greatness of humanity; in fact, he has not even made an attempt to make the world know that he is alive; nevertheless, like the worm, the Negro will one day turn. I humbly ask you, therefore, that your Honorable Versalles Act not like the one at Versalles, that you realize and appreciate the fact that the Negro is a man, and that there can be settlement of world affairs without proper consideration being given to him with his rights. President Harding of America has but recently sounded the real cry of democracy. He says to his own country, the world, that he should be an advocate to the world, the political country in education, in education, because he is entitled to human rights.' I humbly beg to recommend to your Honorable Conference these quoted words of President Harding. Negroes have blood, they have souls, and for the cause of liberty they feel that the conduct of the Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon, Hannibal, Laffayette, Carroll, Washington, Infinite, and that peace not founded on real human justice will only be a mockery of the Divine invocation, 'Peace, perfect peace.' I trust your Honorable Conference will not fail to take into consideration, therefore, that there are four million Negroes in the world who are fratern as their rightful heritage, even as the ropeans claim Europe and the Asiatic Asia. I pray that your Conference will not only be one of disarmament, but that it will be a congregation of the "Bigger Brotherhood," through which Europe will see the right of Asia, Asia and Europe see the rights of Africa, and Africa see the rights of Europe, and accordingly the rights of race and nation their due, and let there be peace indeed. On behalf of the four hundred million Negroes of the world not represented at your Honorable Conference. President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and First Provisional President of Africa, New York. --- Jobilee Songsters of David Will Sing Sunday for Brotherhood Class.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES on Year ..... $ 2.00 in Months ..... 1.10 three Months ..... .00 foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1921 As you grow older, the time seems to fly faster. You can get what you want, if you save what you earn. Some people believe in hard work and some others believe in chance. Disappointments are weakening to people, who are trying to do right. Some young people walk slowly and some old people walk swiftly. People, who are over-conceited seldom discover the fault themselves. Being fooled by others is bad enough, but so many of us deceive ourselves. Getting something for nothing is a risky experiment, and yet many of us try it more than once. People, who are over selfish hinder their own progress more than that of any one else. Colored folks, who grumble are just like the white folks, who do the same thing. Getting into a grave in a cemetery is easy to getting out of a grave after you have once gotten into one. It is universally conceded that the Negroes of Virginia have some political sense after all. Some women want to get married and a few of these same kind of people want to stay single. Some, people do not know how to raise children and some children do not know how to be raised. Funeral directors, who are immune to grief in others are usually overcome, when the loss directly affects themselves. Some people go so fast that when they stop, the momentum lands them either in the hospital or the graveyard. Do not think of your friends, who are dead and gone. It will make you feel lonesome and bring on the moping spirit. The Republican Party as represented in this State by Chairman J R. Pollard seems to be well satisfied with the present situation. We have been abusing the preachers and we have been abusing the politicians. Now, let us take a turn at abusing ourselves. ```markdown ``` Where the devil raises up two enemies against the colored folks of this country, God raises up four friends in their favor. When you break the Solid South, you split the Solid North. President Warren G. Harding should realize the fact by this time. When colored women become aroused in this State, brethren, you can vouch for it that they will accomplish their purpose. The prevailing opinion among some of these politicians seems to be that there is no God and no Devil, no Hell and no Heaven. Most people consider themselves first and the other folks afterwards. This sometimes applies in the cases of children toward their own parents. Men, who deceive women and women, who deceive men, are all in the same class. They will ultimately be deceived themselves. You cannot tell about this world. You may be up today and down tomorrow. You may be alive today and dead tomorrow. You can never tell. Men, who try continually to please their own wives and cannot do it, usually resort to the expedient of trying to please some other woman. If some of us colored folks will turn our outward eyes inward, we shall find that much of the trouble we are having is of our own invention. Colored folks, continue to make friends with the right kind of white folks. They can help you and you can help them. The white folks brought these Negroes here and now the white folks will not send these Negroes away from here. The Hon. Marcus Garvey believes in the future of Africa, but he has not yet explained just how he is to get the white folks out from there. Read colored journals and keep posted. Race pride should induce you to aid the colored publisher. You will be benefited and other people will be made happy. Buy land and you will find your financial condition improving. Spend all you make and want and misery will be forever staring you in the face. The supporters of Col. Henry W. Anderson seem to have been very successful in getting money for the campaign, but very unsuccessful in getting votes for the election. Discontent is a mighty uncomfortable trait to exist in the human body. It is as bad as disease and leads to the road which lands the traveler inside of the crazy house. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has had a successful meeting in Europe and Ion. Marcus Garvey has had a successful meeting in this country. Both should be satisfied and stop "shooting" at each other. --- Some people live thirty years of their lives during the first twenty years of their lifetime and then are surprised when they are called to go between the ages of forty and fifty years. --- Chairman Crupper and Candidate Anderson had been in consultation, but according to the statements given by each to the public, they were as far apart "as the poles" relative to the result of the elections We are pleased to announce that Col. Henry W. Anderson is much improved after his recent indisposition, political and otherwise. He has not entirely recovered from his attack of Negrophobia, but the symptoms are not so alarming. --- The disgruntled Democrats borrowed the Republican "machine" for use during a gubernatorial election. When they handed it back, it was so damaged that the Republican organization feels disposed to throw it out on the scrap heap and build a new one. Some people have been indisposed to go to Heaven because they are informed that they live off "milk and THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA honey" there. They do not like milk and they do not care for honey. We do not exactly know what they will say about the fire route for none of them likes fire either, if they are to be in the centre of the confaraguration Any citizen, who believes that the South is solid as against the North on account of the Negro is fooling himself. The South likes its own Negroes, but it is mightily against any other Negroes, who belong in any other section of the country. ```markdown ``` The indications in the country seem to be that the Negro vote will be badly needed in several States, where it will go to the Democrats unless President Harding and his National Republican committee reverse themselves on this Negro question. ```markdown ``` [Chairman Joseph L. Crupper expressed his disgust after he had read the election returns. In his advertisement announcements of "The Next Governor," he had published the wrong picture. He should have used the portrait of the Hon. E. Lee Trinkle. Some people are arguing that for the colored folks, "In division there is strength." We have not seen, though anywhere that it is controverted or has been proven that the old time saying, "In union there is strength" has been disproven or controverted. Colored folks, stick together. ```markdown ``` You cannot accomplish anything on "easy street." That thoroughfare is crowded with "no'er do wells." They can attend to everybody's business but their own. Try the rough road where trouble awaits the traveler and you will find that you can accomplish wonders and go to Heaven when you die. We cannot for the life of us understand why the Hon. C. Bascom Slemp should go fooling with this Negro question in this State and lose his own congressional district. It may be that he does not care about going back to Congress any more, and he did not care about seeing anybody else of his party go there. The Ninth Congressional District is said to have gone Democratic by one thousand, five hundred. The representation at Washington was that the vote would be materially increased if the Negroes in the State were barred from the Republican Party. They kicked out the Negroes and immediately, the Republican vote sank below the safety line. It pays to do right and it is expensive to do wrong. ```markdown ``` The Western Dispatch, published at Los Angeles, California with W. M. Austin as President of the Company; Dr. J. A. Somerville, Vice-President; Willie O. Tyler, Secretary; J. C. Banks, Treasurer and Louis S. Tenette, Managing Editor is a credit to that locality and shows that this is a progressive field for journalism. The make-up and general appearance of the venture are excellent and show that much money is behind the enterprise. Experienced persons are evidently in charge and we wish the Western Dispatch success. --- Some colored folks do not believe that they will ever secure all of their rights and privileges in this country. No doubt they are right for they will die too soon, but those of us who remain long enough, say from one hundred to two hundred years from now will secure all of those rights and some of us are trying to remain that length of time in order to see and enjoy a realization of our fondest hopes. One thing is sure. The Negro-haters will all be dead by that time, with the Hon. Henry W. Anderson amongst them. The District of Columbia Committee at Washington has decided to render a favorable report on the nomination of Hon. H. Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds. It is understood that this report has already been made to the United States Senate and unless something unforeseen happens, he will be speedily confirmed. This will do more to quiet the present unrest among the colored voters of this country than anything we know. The prevailing feeling is that President Harding and his administration have gone back on the colored folks. Talk like that at Birmingham, Alabama does some good towards correcting this impression, but action like that in confirming Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson will do much more. Enquiries are already coming in as to the purpose and future of the State Republican organization which made such a fine showing November 8th, 1921 under the leadership of the gubernatorial candidate, the state chairman and the lady nominee for Superintendent of Public Instruction. All can rest assured that the principles for which they contended yet survive and that all parties concerned will continue the struggle for these principles.' It is proposed to have a conference to discuss the situation as soon as definite information has been secured as to the size and character of the votes cast for the respective candidates of all parties. --- The letter of Governor-elect E. Lee Trinkle as published in this issue will be enlightening information not only to the colored people of this State, but to those of the entire nation. He represents that liberal type of Southerners, who do not "play to the galleries" and who say just what they will do and who will do just what they say. All the colored people of this Grand Old Commonwealth ask is to be treated fairly and squarely. Senator Trinkle's key-note speech and his utterances upon the hustings are in line with his pronouncements of today. Certain it is that the colored people of this State will meet him in the same spirit that he meets them, with a disposition and an inclination to go "a bow-shot beyond." ```markdown ``` Col. Henry W. Anderson and his managers are wondering what became of that large Democratic vote that was to have gone into the Republican column. When political leaders base their estimates upon the perfidy of the members of an opposing political party, they deserve to lose out. The Tucker vote went into the Democratic primary and the Tucker vote remained with the Democrats where it should have remained until after election day. Virginians are still honorable and they know how to stand by an honorable obligation. It is a peculiar condition when men of an opposite political party seek to induce the electorate to violate a moral obligation in order to land Col. Henry W. Anderson of the Red Cross in the gubernatorial mansion at Richmond DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE The disarmament conference now in session at Washington is being watched with keen interest by the lovers of peace everywhere. Still, it must not be forgotten that the representatives of the armament interests are there to safeguard and protect the very engines of warfare that it is proposed to limit or destroy. Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes is the central, if not the dominating figure in this world's conference. That he has been chosen as chairman of this great international body, the only one of the kind that has ever assembled is an honor, which he and his friends will appreciate. As a matter of fact though, even if he has scored heavily by the acceptance of the Hughes plan, in principle with the vital details to be worked out, it is evident that this meeting is an international game of chess, in which the players will endeavor to outdo each other in the final outcome. We have succeeded in bringing the troubles of the leading nations of the world from Versailles, France to Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America. The surroundings are free from the embarrassing conditions of the Old World. Secretary Hughes has shown that he is super-abundantly fitted for the position he holds and he has handled the affairs of State with an ability that has challenged admiration. b it should not be forgotten that he is blessed with the association and friendship of one of the world's ablest diplomats in the person of Hon. Ellhu Root, who is ever ready to assist and advise him. We have always been of the opinion and that opinion is emphasized now, that this distinguished New Yorker, who now holds the highest position in President Harding's cabinet will continue to be a central figure in the affairs of this country for well-nigh a decade yet to come. WRECKING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The policy adopted by the Republicans in this State, under the leadership of Hpn. C. Bascom Slemp in dealing with the colored electorate, has resulted just as we expected it would. Instead of increasing the membership and the popularity of the Party, it has tended to lessen the membership and held the organization in this State up to contempt and ridicule. Treachery and ingratitude are despised by right-thinking people everywhere regardless of party affiliations or color. The Republican managers, who are known as "Lilywhites," underestimated the voting strength and influence of the colored people in this State. They overlooked the fact that this vast body of colored people exercise a potent influence upon the white people of the commonwealth. just as the immense number of white people exercise a powerful persuasive power upon the colored people of this same vast area. As the colored people resented the treatment, so did numbers of white people vouchsafe aid and comfort to the deserted allies of the Republican Party. While this did not take the form of monetary consideration, it was everywhere evident in the encouraging words of sympathy and to lessen the blow, which had been so brutally inflicted upon one of the kindiest races of people upon the face of the globe. The white people of Virginia were of the opinion that men, who would be guilty of such conduct could not be safely trusted to handle the affairs of the Mother State. Colonel Henry W. Anderson's vituperative remarks and inviting promises immediately became as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals." The 'people logically turned to his brilliant political antagonist, Hon. E. Lee Trinkle, who persistently refused to be led away from the fundamental issues of the campaign. Colonel Anderson further injured his chances by challenging his Democratic opponent to a discussion of the race issue, when he had loudly proclaimed that it had been eliminated from the campaign. This showed that he was inconsistent, that he and those associated with him were not conducting the campaign upon a high plane, but were resorting to any subterfuge to win. The Administration at Washington and the national Republican managers had been induced to give the white Republicans in this State a free hand, with the distinct understanding that enough Democratic recruits could be obtained to not only make up for any loss brought about by the disaffection of the Negro electorate, but to swing the State into the Republican column and to defeat the nominee of the Democratic Party, Hon. E. Lee Trinkle and those associated with them. This talk was one thing and the results are another. The unofficial returns show that the Republicans have lost eight representatives in the lower branch of the Virginia legislature and one in the upper branch. In addition to this, Congressman C. Bascom Slomp, who carried his district last year by a plurality of four thousand has lost this same district this year by a plurality of fifteen hundred. There was no congressional election being held in this district this year, but when the Ninth Congressional District is called into action next year, he will start his campaign with a serious handleap as to Republican votes. The action of the Republican managers in discarding the fundamental principles of the National Republican Party and in unlawfully ousting therefrom the veterans in campaigns of the past extending over a period of well-night half a century has had its effect. If the present leaders will take heed and mend their ways, so to speak, trusting to the future for party increases, all will be well. If, on the other hand, these same men persist in their unlawful, immoral and unjustifiable course, then disaster more pronounced than that which has already overtaken the party is surely in store for them. It pays to do right and certainly justice and fair play are the most valuable assets of the National Republican Party. When the State organization discarded these assets, it was "riding for a fall" even more severe than the one which the organization led by Hon. Joseph L. Crump and Hon. C. Bascom Slemp has experienced. As for the colored folke, well—they are laughing. LET THE PLANET FOLLOW YOU THE NEW HALL OF FAME. (Now York Times, Nov. 11.) Throughout the country municipal life has been rendered more richly varied by the election. Beginning as near home as is seemly, the now Mayor of Buffalo, Frank X. Schwab, is a brewer who "featured" his campaign with a promise that he would go to Washington in person and fight for a modification of the Volstead act permitting beer. As a preliminary to that expedition he promised to abolish the present Police Dry Squad, which has measurably enforced the law. A last moment incursion by William H. Anderson in behalf of the Anti-Saloon League is held to have been the decisive factor in Mr. Schwab's success, "down-State" interference being resented. In Cleveland Fred Kohler is known to fame as a former Chief of the Police Department who was dismissed from his post by the Civil Service Commission on charges of conduct unbecoming to an officer. The charge was filed "by former May or Newton D. Baker." Far from explaining his past, Mr. Kohler did not make a single speech throughout his campaign, relying on his personal popularity and a house-to-house canvass. In the face of the utmost effort at suppression, however, it has leaked out that he is a friend of the people. Indiana has a truly notable addition to the longhunting list of Who's Hoosiers. Lew (Samuel L.) Shank was elected Mayor of Indianapolis by a majority of some 20,000, the largest ever given in the city. He began life as a clog dancer and has returned to the vaudeville stage at intervals ever since. He is also known as an auctioneer and as a farmer. His nomination found him in the rustic guise. He said: "I've got 350 chickens, all with the gapes, doggone 'em; about twenty-five pigs, nearly all of them with the cholera; half a dozen calves—the rest died because I gave them too much skimmed milk; four goats, one billy and three nannies. Bellevue me, a farmer earns his money!" With this evidence as to his fitness for civic life, he entered the campaign resolutely but without illusions. "I know that I will not receive the support of a single newspaper in Indianapolis. I know they will all jump on me." They did. Business men and the self-righteous of all kinds fought Mr. Shank "to the last ditch, regardless of political affiliations." But his fame as a farmer-laborer carried him through—and sweet memories of his political past. For, when a candidate once before, he sent a carload of watermelons into the San Juan Hill district of the Athens of the Middle West. It is, however, the advancing City of Youngstown, Ohio, that bears the palm for the popular recognition of leadership. About three months ago Mr. G. L. Oles canes in from the country unknown to fame and established his headquarters at a hotel. His campaign contred in a demand that the street-car service be discontinued and a system of buses installed. Those buses alone would probably have elected him, but he promised also to dismiss the entire police force if it did not mend its ways, and, moreover, to permit "spooning" in the city parks under protection of the law. Thus Mayor-elect Oles ran far ahead of the candidates of both Republican and Democratic organizations. Billious critics contend that democracy tends inevitably to a drab uniformity. How wrong they are may be seen by any candid observer who will look abroad in the land at the result of municipal elections. --- LINCOLN TEAM CONTINUES TO WIN. Defeats Hampton 13 to 0—President Harding Appointed Lincoln Graduate for Liberia. Lincoln University, Pa., Nov. 5.—Before a large crowd of friends of the two institutions Lincoln University defeated Hampton Institute in football here today by a score of 13 to 0. Lincoln outplayed Hampton in all departments of the game. The visitor's goal was constantly threatened, and it was only the pluck of the Hampton boys that prevented a much larger score. The first touchdown was made by Captain Law at the opening of the second quarter. Crudup kicked the goal. Johnson made the second touchdown in the third quarter, after Parr had blocked a kick on the five-yard line. The best playing for Hampton was done by Captain Dabney. Two hard games remain on Lincoln's schedule: With Virginia Union at Richmond on November 12th, and with Howard at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day. Lincoln University has been honored by the appointment by President Harding of one of its graduates, Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, D. D., of Trenton, N. J., as minister to Liberia. The roadway in front of the beautiful Alumni Memorial Arch, dedicated at the last commencement, has been concreted and improved. $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID: Lexington, Va., August 30, 1921.

Washington EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from First Page.) EDITOR DERRICK THERE. Once aboard the train, I went to bed. I arrived at San Francisco on time and was met by Mr. J. Lincoln Derrick editor, of the Western Outlook. He took my luggage to his official quarters and then for about two hours, we stroved over the city. I saw a new type of boiler in a Stanley Steam car. I was soon at the residence of Mrs. Lillia A. Barne where apartments had been secured for me. Mr Walter A. Butter was there with his Bullek. He showed me his office and then I went to his residence in an exclusive section of the city. He had the structure erected on the most modern plan. His Madame was there, and I spent the evening. I rested. He returned me finally to the Coelq Cafeteria where a fine repast was served in my honor. A REMARKABLE SCENE It is difficult to describe the scene. Some of the leading colored citizen had tendered the banquet. The surroundings were unique and peculiar. This place is magnificently equipped. In a mezzanine space in the rear a orchestra played choice selection. In down front a colored girl, practically a mulatto, well formed and attractively sang and danced during the gervin of the repast. A colored young man with, an admirable baritone Yole sang with deep feeling and emotion. To our left, a white man sat at a table and listened. Then he threw money to the orchestra and gave money to the singer. THOSE OLD MELODIES My eyes were glued upon the scene. What did it mean? "That whit man is a southerner," said my new companion, "he is a millionaire. I spends as much as $26 per day here. He was telling the young man who to sing. Then arose that melodious voice, "Darling, I am growing old. Without a line of manuscript, I sang every stanza of this soul-etriller anthem. His voice rose and fell as the enthrallest southerner arose and joined in the melody. This ended, I asked for "Annie Laurie." A nod to the orchestra and then the mellifent voice of the baritone singer gaforth the words while the enthushte white gentleman joined in. A sheer of money followed. WHITE FOLKS THERE My companions were eating, in these old-time melodies had stirred me and I listened. Then came in a final white ballet. They sat at tables as they gave their orders. The female singers went over there a song to them. As for me, I compiled my meal. I saw in the far corner of the room to the left a female attable. My friend whispered, "She the censor, placed there and paid the city to see that rotting improvisors on here. Mr. P. A. Lyons is manager of the establishment. It was time for us to go. A crowd was ready assembled at the First A. M. Zion Church. I was to speak under auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Ile.

Friday, November 11th, was a big day fraternally in the Magic City. Every fraternal organization of the city responded to the invitation from the Odd Fellows to be present at the laying of the corner-stone to their new building at the southwest corner of Gainsboro and Fifth Avenue, and according to arrangements, the line of march moved at 1:15 P. M., headed by the Roanoke Band, and followed by representatives from every fraternity in the city. Riding in a big car just in front of the band was Major General R. T. Stewart, of Newport News, Va., commander of the Patriarchicle of America, G. U. O. F., and District Grand Master of Virginia Odd Fellows, who was the orator of the day, and Brigadier General W. B. F. Crowell, commander of the First Brigade, Patriarchicle, then the band and Roanoke Patriarchicle, No. 110, Captain J. H. Mitchell commanding, then the Odd Fellows of the city and those visiting from Fincastle, Buchanan and Salem, then the Knights of Pythias and the St. Lukes in order named, and they followed by the Elks, who made a most handsome showing in their new royal purple fez with gold letters and white tassel; then bringing up the rear was the Masonic order of the city and Salem. Arriving at the church, Brigadier General W. B. F. Crowell called the assembly to order, and after singing America, Rev Dr. A. L. James, pastor of the First Baptist (where the services were held), offered prayer. The building committee was presented by the master of ceremonies, Brigadier General Crowell. The committee was M. N. F., R. F. Tate, V. P., M. Newton, V. P., Chas, W. P, Pointer, Lieut. Thos. Curtis, and P. M. E. F. Jones. A solo by Mr. Arnell Holland was beautiful and the money of $128.50 was offered; then the master of ceremonies introduced Rev. L. Downing, D. M. of Virginia Odd Fellows and P. C. M. of Virginia Masons, who in turn introduced the orator of the day, Major General R. T. Stewart, who delivered a wonderful address on the building and its use. When he had finished the throng moved to the new building, where the stone was laid in due and ancient form by the Masonic fraternity, with the following officers in charge of the ceremonies: III. W. B. F. Crowell, 32nd, and Potentate of Aladden Temple, No. 111, A. E. A. O. N. of M. S., M. W. M. (acting). Other officers acting as grand officers for the ceremonies were Henry C. Johnson, 32nd, R.

Defeated Candidate, in Statement, Says He Sees "Nothing Abnormal" in Tuesday's Democratic Victory. (Richmond, Va., News Leader.) Declaring that the Republicans have "sown the seed of the truth in the fruitful soil of the minds and hearts of the people, and can abide our time, for in due season it will bring forth the fruits of freedom and reform," Henry W. Anderson, of Richmond, defeated candidate for Governor, in Tuesday's election, today made public a statement, in which he says he sees "nothing abnormal in the results." Asserting that his party entered the campaign "with no illusions either as to elections in Virginia or as to the sacrifices which the fight would entail." Mr. Anderson held that the Democratic victory was the "natural outcome of the political conditions which have precluded in Virginia for years." The Statement His statement, in full, reads as follows: "A severe illness which has kept me confined to my bed since Sunday has made it impossible for me to consider the election results or anything else until today. The circumstances seem to call for a brief statement from me as to the election. "I see nothing abnormal in these results. They are the natural outcome of the political conditions which have prevailed in Virginia for years. "We entered this campaign with no illusions either as to elections in Virginia or as to the sacrifices which the fight would entail. We regarded the immediate election day results as of secondary importance; but thought then and think now that the larger ends in view fully justify the effort. A Drastic Program. "We proposed a very drastic program at Norfolk, both for the State and the Republican party. That program united the thoughtful people of that party as they have not been united for years, but it brought confusion and doubt to others, and caused others, though not a material cause, to leave the party entirely. This affected some extent the immediate vote, but it also the party on a sound moral and political basis and made it possible for it to become a great constructive agency for service to Virginia. "So as to the State. The reforms proposed at Norfolk were radical and far-reaching. They proposed a complete change in the political and economic life, and organization in this State, and struck at the powers long entrenched in control. But they are necessary if the life and organization of Virginia are to be adapted to modern conditions. Naturally, the organized forces of entrenched power undertook to crush such a movement. They could act before the people could even be aroused. The immediate effect was apparent defeat for reform. That has been true of every reform in its earlier stages, yet if it has been real, has been urged with courage and patience, it has won. The same is true now. "The election on Tuesday is incident. We are right, and with courage and patience the results will be not swift but sure. "True!" "Our larger purpose in this campaign was to get the truth to the people. With a limited number of speakers, an antagonistic press and little organization this has been difficult. But it has been accomplished to a larger degree than we believed possible. I have personally made ninety-two addresses to audiences aggregating over 50,000 people, and thousands of others have read these addresses in print. Other speakers and writers have rendered like service. The people were being aroused as they have not been for years, but the time was too short to complete this awakening and convert it into action before the election. "We have sown the seed of the truth in the fruitful soil of the minds and hearts of the people, and can abide our time, for in due season it will bring forth the fruits of freedom and reform. "Many sincere people believe that these reforms can be accomplished within the Democratic party. The Democratic party is now in power with full opportunity to reform the government in every particular to meet the many new world conditions which are now pressing upon our people. We will hope for the best and keep working for Virginia. "For that great body of intelligent and patriotic men and women throughout the State who have worked in the true spirit of this movement I have the deepest admiration and gratitude. They have strengthened my faith in human nature; and my hope for Virginia. I can only say to them, 'Carry on!' The battle is for Virginia. It must and will be on. We shall win not by our own merits, but because that for which we fight is the truth which once known shall 'make ye free.' Every reform requires faith, courage, patience. We must possess them all in a measure equal to the need of Virginia. The sacrifices of the past few months have been great, but we would all make them over again in the same cause. "What is an election day victory or defeat in the greater struggle? Let us 'carry on' with determination to be content with nothing less than complete victory, which shall find its expression in the restoration of our government to sound principles; a broader life for our people; a free soul for Virginia." (Richmond, Va., News Leader, Nov. 9, 1921.) Henry W. Anderson, defeated Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia, who has been ill here since Monday, was unable yesterday to go to the polls and cast his vote. Mr. Anderson is still confined in bed at his home, 913 West Franklin Street, and up to 1 o'clock today had made no public statement in reference to the overwhelming majority given his Democratic opponent, E. Lee Trinkle, in yesterday's election. Mr. Anderson is suffering from a severe cold which followed a partial breakdown. His strength was undermined by the extensive speaking campaign he has been conducting in every section of the State since early in September. He was forced to cancel a speaking engagement in PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The "silent voters," to whom Mr. Crupper referred as being the supporters of Harry St. George Tucker in the Democratic primary last August, were prevented by party pledges from voting their convictions, Mr. Crupper said, and this took thousands of votes from the Anderson ticket. The Republican chairman likened Mr. Anderson's campaign to those in the past of William Jennings Bryan. As was true with Bryan, he said, Anderson commanded large and enthusiastic audiences, but when election day came he was snowed under by who appeared to be his supporters. Mr. Crupper let it be known that the "anti-machine" element of the Democratic party in Virginia can expect no more help from the Republican voters in the State. They dey "ring rule," he said, and then vote for its continuation. The Republican party in Virginia has not lost hope, Mr. Crumper said, and an extensive campaign will be waged next year against the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. His party will not wait until spring to name their candidate, but will alve one in the field carry in the year, Mr. Crumper said. "The principles expounded by Mr. Anderson in his campaign have not died in his defeat," Mr. Crumper said, "but will in years to come carry the Republican party into power, bring about representative government in Virginia, and primary elections will have to be done away with and nominations made by convention." Mr. Crumper concedes the Republican defeat in Virginia yesterday to be entirely local to the State in its significance, with no bearing whatsoever upon national politics. Big Drive for Association. A big drive for the Pyramid Building and Loan Association will open Sunday afternoon, November 6th, at the Metropolitan Community Center Church, under the auspices of the famous J. Wesley Jones choir of two hundred voices. Among the speakers will be Hon. S. A. T. Watkins, Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts, James A. Parker, Charles S. Duke and George H. Jackson, president. Goes South.

U. O. F., presented Mrs. Berry with a handsome solid gold household pin. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, a large reception followed a well arranged program, and much credit is due Mrs. Mollie Price, chairman of the committee on arrangements, and her co-workers, among whom were Mrs. Clara Carruthers and Mrs. Muson.

HOWARD DEFEATS SHAW UNIVERSITY BY SCORE 24 TO 0. Washington, D. C.—The Howard University football eleven, despite the absence of its two star players, "Bull Dog" Williams and Molson, who were injured in the West Virginia Collegiate Institute game, October 29th, gave defeat to the Shaw University (Raleigh, N. C.) team, Saturday, November 5th, by a score of 24 to 0. While the Shaw team put up a good light in the first quarter, making it appear in the first eight minutes of play, it would be difficult for Howard to score how ever, as soon as the "White and Blue" eleven got themselves together, they dispelled all misgivings by smashing through Shaw's line for two touchdowns in the latter part of the first quarter, goal being kicked each time. Near the end of the first quarter R. Williams, Shaw's fullback, slipped through Howard's defenses and gave her the scare of the year by making a 45-yard run to the "Blue and White's" 10-yard line. It was here that Howard's line showed its strength by holding Shaw for the four downs. The remainder of the first half was played mostly in the center of the field. The second half contained many thrills, but no scores, until the fourth quarter, when Howard made a 45-yard run end, with an exhibition of perfect interference. After two successive gains of six yards each, the ball was sent across for Howard's third touchdown. Goal was again kicked. With about three minutes in which to play Howard made another attempt to score when a 20-yard gallop brought the ball within striking distance of Shaw's goal. Shaw's line held for two downs On the third down a short forward pass was completed bringing the ball to the center of the field, from which place a drop kick was registered from the 20-yard line for a field goal, giving Howard her final score for the game. Shaw was by far the strongest aggregation to visit Howard this season, and the account of the game might have read differently were it not for Howard's defensive teamwork. Howard's victory over Shaw leaves her still unscored upon for the season. It was the "Blue and White's" fifth game for the season and the last to be played at home. Summary: Substitutions: Howard — Crawford for Melton. Shaw—Cook for Lytle; Bright for Cook; Ballard for Crawford. Score by quarters: Howard .....14 0 0 10 Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The opening services of our World's Week of Prayer was held on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. J. W. Barco delivered a very splendid address on "The Humanity of Jesus."

PHONE MADISON 577—Man On Duty All Night—RICHMOND. VA. FOUR BRAZIL LETTER Bahla, Brazil, April 23, 1920 To The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U. S. A. Dear Editor: The article in the lower right hand corner of page 1, The Planet, March 20, 1920 under the heading, "Wanted Judge to Order Segregation in Baltimore, Md." Like that of the William Trotter case in Philadelphia, also that of Mr. Brady's observations in the editorials of said issue of The Planet, are all questions of "social equality" of the races and nothing more. In the first place, if the street and neighborhood were both strictly high class in their order of preservation, and that a family of very poor means which was also careless about the general order of a first class neighborhood, they would naturally depricate the value of the property all around them; from the very fact of their negligence or inability to keep their property up to the general standard of that neighborhood. And this would apply to the case of a white family as well as a colored one, so long as the conditions are the same. You see that colored people have greatly brought these things upon themselves by not recognizing these conditions among their own people. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. might have once been a common news-hop, a printer, a type-setter or a boot-black and by his studiousness he has risen to editor and then to banker. Where his former income was less than 10 per cent, of what it is now, certainly he should no longer be looked upon as of old, any more than a man can be looked upon as an infant. He was once an infant but he has now reached manhood and as such must confront and assume the responsibilities of a man. If he does This well he should enjoy all the happiness of any other person of similar condition, whether white or black. He has risen from a similar condition of that of Benjamin Franklin's former, to one equally important to that of latter social place accorded Franklin in right to all the honor accorded the former great editor, inventor and statesman. And I am one of those who are willing to honor Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. with all, the consideration of his achievements. He is no longer a common wage typesetter or pressman or daily wage servant. He is now a man of influence and means. He used to be just "little Johnny" but now he is Mr. Mitchell, to those not his superiors. And the colored people of the Anglo-Saxon breeding were not so slow in recognizing these distinctions, they might enjoy similar distinctions as colored people of latin breeding. But, no, they do not want "social equality." To say that such people are ignorant, is a very mild way to describe them. As the position of Mr. Brady was identically the same as what they claim for via, "a negro can not become the social equal to a white." The same and nothing more, than social disgrace; was imposed upon Mr. William Monroe Trotter, by the Italian barber in Philadelphia. And it is this which will reduce the greatest achievement of colored men to merely nothing until they get sense and courage enough to speak out boldly; and say that they want all that belongs to them and nothing more. Mr. Trotter surely had forgotten that he said in Richmond, Va. that he did not want social equality. Then he was not eligible to be shaved in a shop prepared to serve only gentlemen. And no man who does not believe in social equality between the races, has a right to kick against such treatment, when it is imposed. I am only wondering when such men as Kelloy Miller, Pickens, DuBois, etc. will open their eyes to these facts. You may sneak around the point all you want; or you may climb over the walls and come in by some back way; but if your garments and credentials are not equal to the host, out you go, when the warden is sent around to see if all present are equal to the degree in which the house is opened! Do you get my meaning now! As in heaven: so on earth; let they will be done, our heavenly father. Hence let me declare again, that I am for absolute social equality to all under similar conditions, and no man who disagrees with this claim is worthy of being initiated into the church of God, whether secret or public and I take with me all the scientific authority of the world to hence. And if I lose my life upon these grounds, I die as a brave man and will question the Great God of heaven about my rights. It must be remembered that the Jews tried to establish some other way into heaven more than 4,000 years ago, and today they must return to the first principles, "God has no respect for persons." And this is the stumbling block of all the world. The first thing to do, is to get a man's heart into your old chest, or rather to be made a "Man" in the heart," and then try to obtain similar recognition by a true and lawful body of such. And if one fails by the latter, but has the first, Jesus has promised to make good the difference. Then Mr. Editor I shall keep what I have got and how about you? For absolute equality to all, under similar conditions. 'And very respectful' yours, I. S. MOORE. VIRGINIA—In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, the 28th day of October, 1921.

Haydon of Remarkable Cure—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results L. J. Hayden, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dropsical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious 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. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued success, I am, with much gratitude, Yours truly, (Signed) J. WILSON, 417 W. Seventh St., Manchester, Va. L. J. Hayden: I wish to add to your testimonial that your medicine has cured me of Lumbago with the use of six bottles. I have suffered for three years and my family doctor told me that he could not do me any good. I began taking your medicine November 15, 1903, and I have not lost a day since with Lumbago. I can't raise your medicine too highly. Yours truly, W. H. MILLER, Highland Park, Richmond, Va. Mr. L. J. Hayden; Dear Sir,—I have tried four bottles of your Blood Purifier for Rheumatism, and I feel that it has made a final cure of me. I know not how to thank you enough for that great relief.
