EXPLAINS POLITICAL SITUATION LAIMS A POLL OF 25,000 VOTES FOR REPUBLICAN TICKET. The following letter was sent to the Richmond Va. News-Leader and ill explain itself: Richmond, Va. November 30, 1921 editor of The News-Leader. I have read with much interest an edition of November 29th, in which appears a news article and your informal comment under the captain "The Vote Analyzed." The question asked, what became of 20,000 Repub- can voters cast for Hon. Warren G ardring? I₁ this connection, it would well to state that the claim was made that 25,000 votes had been actual cast by the covered people for the ti-machine Republican ticket. The official election returns compiled on action night showed that 20,000 votes had been polled for this ticket. Add 5,220 votes officially accredited and u have the approximate 25,000 votes. DAYS PAST AND GONE in days past and gone, the "black it" was used by policing to offuse white vote in the White Belt. It is humorously declared that in the actions where the colored people pre-immilated, the election took place after the polls closed, and that returns are held back for that purpose. In tities, where white men voted for "Lilly Whites" it was an easy match to offset this gain by a transfer of co-ord vote to the other side. Tigary purpose of the movement b which I was affiliated after a re-ment from active politics for two years was to defeat the anti Negro adhidate, Hon. Henry W. Anderson. PREFERRED PARTY NAME we could have done this by voting for Hon. E. Lee Trinkle, we had have pursued that course. But adrads of colored people preferred party name and so we named a set composed of colored citizens by this policy uncovered to draw colored people out of the contet to leave Co. Henry W. Anderson on the hands of the white people of ginia and permitted him to have test of strength he so much desi- tion. H Senator E. Lee Trinkle's over- ous friends took twenty thousand and counted them for him, they welcome to them and they might be the 5230 votes, which they to our account after summing up contest. AVORED SENATOR TRINKLE is a matter of fact, all of us were able to the candidacy of the dismissed resident of Wythallville in order of us, who knew how to pray badly asked that he be accorded the in the Executive Mansion at Mount. I₁₀ passing, there were titutions, which Col. Henry W. Anson and his mansions overlooked,atable colored people have some chance with reputable white people they used it to induce this class people to support Senator Trinkley were too many white people wanted to be on the winning side who upon observing Hon. Henry Anderson's effort to entrance the col vote and his success in so logically figured out that he could win and they joined the other proton. LINE OF CAMPAIGN ar line of campaign was to nominate colored candidates for every of Were the "Lily-wishes" and had an candidate and in my in-time and advice. I advised the color people to vote for our State ticket in all of the city and county contests. It was understood that every for our State candidates was a vote for Senator Trinkleas Gover and the other Democratic officials a ticket with him. In his overty to discredit the distinguished or from Wytheville and to attack so-called office holding oligarchy, Henry W. Anderson had included county, city and State officials all a "bunch" of office holders, namethite and colored school teachers, public, city, scavengers, lamiand the like and had declared if were elected Governor, no Negro hold office under his adminis INCLUDED ALL s lovelyly included this class of (Continued on Page 2.) DR. BROOKS' GREAT SERMON Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church of Washington, D.C, paid his annual visit to this city Thanksgiving Day and delivered one of the ablest sermons ever heard here. His subject was "Peace." The Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W. H. Stokes, pastor, was packed. Ministers occupied the rostrum and the overflow of the "gentlemen of the cloth" was cared for by the placing of chairs around the lower rostrum and on the main floor. Dr. Brooks told why the war magnates wanted a conflict of arms and how they, by this method got promotion and won tame on a gory field while suffering came to the nations of the earth. His remarks created a profound impression and he made an after statement relative to the loss of his daughter, who had recently died in Washington. Six members of his family had died and six still remained upon the earth. Dr. Stokes assured him that he would always find a welcome at the Ebenezer Baptist Church and when he got too deprived to preach, he could come and sit around. The collection at the 12 p.c clock service totalled $14.00. The night service was also noticeable. A peculiar incident occurred. Some overzealous member in helping Dr. Brooks with his overcrowd took the wrong one and the divine's expensive garment remained in other hands until late Friday, after the Doctor had left for Washington. However, he left the borrowed garment here with his sister, Mrs. Lucy G. Lewis and the exchange was made. Dr. Brooks' overcoat was shipped at once to him at Washington. --- FINDINGS OF COUNCIL, IN THE ST. JOHN CONTROVERSY, The above mentioned council was called to advise us to certain difficulties existing among the members of our church, which disturbed their peace and threatened serious injury to the welfare of the church. After very careful deliberations the Council unanimously adopted the following recommendations, which were presented by a special committee appointed by the Council. Richmond, Va. The matter being the unreasonable drafraid of their pastor Brother A. M. Komp to pay him a salary of $150.00 ($150.00) haroil hord rd mfw mfwyfpp One Hundred and fifty dollars per month. Kelly Miller, Jr's, Long Hike Kelly Miller, Jr., walked from New York to Philadelphia to the Howard Lincoln game. The distance is 98 miles along the Lincoln Highway and he covered the distance in 33 hours and 10 minutes. Considering that he walked a considerable part of the distance in a down pour of rain over bad and muddy roads he made very good time. Mr. Miller is the organizer of the Road Scouts a hiking organization in Washington and holds the amateur hiking record between Washington and Baltimore a distance of 28 miles in 7 hours and 42 minutes. He tried to get a large bunch of New Yorkers to walk to the game but was finally forced to make the trip alone. He deserves credit for the bike especially facing so many hardships. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1921 ACTION OF WOMEN'S SECTION VIRGINIA INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEE. Riedmond, Va., November 16—We a group of Virginia women representing the several Christian bodies, the Jewish women and other agencies organized for social work, having been duly constituted The Women's Section of the Virginia State Committee in Inter-Richland Cooperation assembled in Richmond, November 16, 1921, desire to express our gratitude for this opportunity of service. Realizing that responsibility follows opportunity, we are deeply sensible of the greatness of the task confronting us and would approach it in the spirit of humility and dependence upon God. Reviewing world conditions, we are confronted by nations in conflict, due largely to increased race consciousness and we of the South find ourselves face to face with a newperiod of adjustment. We deplore any conditions in our midst that tend to wide $n$ the breach between peoples whom circumstances have thrown to togther and whose deprivies are inevitable interwoven in our own and coming generations. We believe righteousness, justice, peace, and good will can be established between races of different colors. We accept this challenge $i_n$ the spirit of the golden rule and pludge our whole-hearted support to the educational movements now sweeping over the entire South for better racial conditions, human liberty and preservation of the ideals upon $n$ which this government is founded. To this end we suggest the following. 1. That we strive to bring our women to a better understanding of the opportunity at our doors by a more intelligent study of Negro life in the home, in the School and in the church to the end of deepening the public conscience gt touching our responsibility to our Negro neighbors. 2. That we emphasize the fact that no community is stronger than its weakest link, and that therefore in matters of education, public health, child welfare, recreation and general living conditions, more adequate provision be made for the Negro. 3. Because we believe the public press to be a potent factor for the promotion of who come race relationships, we urge that the achievements of the Negro be emphasized rather than his delinquencies, and to this end provide our personal influence. 4. That we stand uncompromisingly against lawlessness in all torpor, the administration of justice through the regular constituted clerics and or by self constituted bodies, which there is no place in our midst. We plebs ourselves to uphold the hands of our officials $h_1$ maintenance of the law. 5. We declare ourselves for a simple standard of morals, for the protection of all womanhood and equal punishment for all offenders against the same. Finally, believing that public sentiment is our greatest asset in bringing about all progress and reform, and because women through the home and social life are a great factor in creating the same, we commend to ourselves and our sisters women the part we are privileged to play in developing such assentment $h_2$ Virginia as will tend to the realization of this program.

EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from last week) I awoke early and looked out. Then found that the train was passing across the Sierra, a series of high mountain ranges, Mr. R. L. Williams, colored supervisor for the Pulaski Company was on the train and pointed out places of interest. I saw the Lincoln Highway through this mountainous country. In places the roadway was narrow, not room enough for either car or team to pass another. I saw a farmer with a two horse wagon driving in front of a car. There was nothing for the automobilist to keep well behind on account of the cloud of dust and travel at a small pace or stop he had stopped and waited. For once the horses had the right of way and they kept it. EMIGRANT GAP. We passed to Emigrant Gap, where above the railroad was the old cedar grant road from the East crossed a divide and to lower down the ridges of the Sierra to the valley of the Sacramento River. We could look for miles and see the ridges of hoary mountains while below the canyons inspired awe if not fright among the timid passengers. Then we saw the tunnel-like snow-shelves, of inestimable value in winter, as snow $h_1$ these parts are salt to reach a depth of 20 feet and 40 feet is of common occurrence. "For miles the Southern Pacific R. R. traverses the ridge above the American River, sometimes at the very brink of the chasm and every where affording vistas of magnificent sweep across a hundred miles of mountains, range afar or range reaching off in the distance. Into the abyss, the rugged mountain sides slope downward in precipitation, another sinking in almost sheer descent. The Sievers rise like a wall behind and abashed loomed the dark pine clad promontory of Giant Gap, pushing its bulky form far into the canyon and blocking the way of the stream which swirls in swift water around its base. MANY PERISHED Mr. Williams had called my attention to Donner Lake, California, where 75 years ago, George Donner and a party of 51 enlistants met with disaster. In making the trip, the party had been unavoidably delayed, and when they finally reached the lake winter had to be and a deep snow had fallen, burrowing their pathway. It was on the first day of October, when they had almost reached the summit of the Sierra, after having took across the desert of Utah and Nevada that they could go no further. A few succeeded in crossing on snow shoes. Their possessions were giving out. TUNNELLED THROUGH SNOW Rescue parties started out. They had to tunnel through the snow. When they reached the party 36 of them had perished. A large cross marks the spot $o_1$ the edge of the lake and the lake was named after the leader of the party. Trees were afterwards found to have been chopped off 40 feet above their base, which showed that the snow was that deep and that the chopper must have been standing that hirsu upon the top of it. I passed through Keno, the scene of the Jim Jetriss. Jack Johnson fight and then I saw the train wind down on side of a valley and come out lower on the other side, while the snow sheds covered the line to protect the track. THE GREAT NEVADA DESERT We were now entering the Great Nevada Desert, $I_0$ the midst of this was Humboldt, termed the oasis of the desert. Irrigation is everywhere evident. By this I mean that the Government has cut huge ditches from the nearest river and diverted the water, changing thousands of acres of land in to fertile farms. Then we travelled again $I_0$ through miles of sand, with no sign of vegetation save the worthless kind which may be found in scant patches in this paralyzing waste. At times I would see wagon tracks, but no where did I see, even the sign of an automobile. Then we came to railroad stations. I looked in vain for pumps, wells and springs. On a side track could be seen water cars, placed there by the railroad company. Without these the settlers would die from thirst. THE SHOSHONE INDIANS At Elkro, Nevada, were a few Shooshone Indians When I awoke, Wednesday day morning we were still losing time but travelling through the desert. All (Continued on Second Page.)

Lawson and little son, Walter Irving are visiting her parents in Spotsylvania county. Mr. Delaware Braxton has purchased a car. Mr. George F. Holmes is remodeling his home. SHE STILL TAKES IN WASHING. Colored Woman's Millions Fail to Change Her Mode of Life. Thrify citizens still remain, in spite of the despair expressed by reformers at the extravagance and waste of the people throughout this land, A. C. Cooper of Shirevport, La., who was at the Hotel: McAlpin the other day told of a colored woman down in his town who continues to take in washing although she is worth about $3,000,000. "A piece of land bought by this colored washwoman against the day when she could put aside her tub and rest awhile was discovered to contain ener mous oil deposits," said Mr. Cooper. "Today the woman is in the millionaire class, with a corps of lawyers to protect her interests. But also has not given up her occupation or changed her mode of living. Her happiness is in her work. The fortune, in fact, is told to have brought her only the fear of bodily harm, of being poisoned or otherwise disposed of for her money." W, H, SKIPWITH WRITES ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION My Dear Friend and Brother—Ever since the day of the Gubernatorial election of our State, I have been watching the daily and weekly papers with intense interest; I saw in the "Chicago Tribune and Detroit Free Press" were you and your cabinet polled Twenty-thousand or more votes but my anxiety did not become fully satisfied until I saw the Planet and Baltimore Afro with the following headlines: Cofeed Republicans Polls 25,900 Thank You Sir. Please accept my most hearty congratulations for the courageous, unprovincial, uncompromising state and stand present to the world by your entire staff and supporters. I am sure that the history of the Gubernatorial contest of the State of Va. will not be, and cannot be completely written without reddening the Manly and Women showing made by you and friends at a time when it was most needed. At the Forest of Balthazar the hand writings was seen by many but in typed by one (Daniel). At the Norfolk convention it was so, by many and intered by many; so much to until 25,000 were weighed, booked the until 25,000 were weighed, broke the slave, I'll be buried in my grave" etc. Marina est veritas, est provablebt—Truth is great and it will prevail.

Successful Catch of Forward Pass and Long Run For Goal by Captain Law Makes Lincoln Eleven Victories. Annual Classic—Howard Team Was Strong on the Drive But Lincoln Line Hold at Critical Moments—Payne (Howard) in Brilliant 5 Yard Run Nearly Turns Tide. Philadelphia, Pa.—Before nearly 10,000 or more spectators in the National Leagues Park, Philadelphia, Pa. Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 1921, the Howard machine, which throughout the season had remained victorious and unscored upon, fell before the Lincoln warriors in the Annual Football Classic of the year by a score of 13 to 7. On a field which was a veritable sea of mud, the two teams ploughed ankle deep through the miry subsoil under a continuous downpour of rain in the struggle to win the season's closing football event. The victory which went to Lincoln was secured in the last period when Captain Law putted a forward pass out of the air and ran down the field for 25 yards to the goal line. The Lincoln triumph was unexpected and came as a surprise both to the Howard and Linecoln followers. Howard had all along been the favorite. Even after Linecoln had made a touchdown on the first quarter which was closely followed by a touch down and a goal by Howard in the second quarter, everyone felt sure that the "Blue and White" would easily remain victorious. LINCOLN RECEIVES KICKOFF At the opening of the game, Lincoln won the toss and chose to receive the kickoff which went to Captain Law. Butte Law was able to advance with the ball, he was downed by a Howard player. At the very outset, Lincoln called into play the famous Dartmouth pitch." For a while the Howe and wort out, were unable to solve it. Lincoln was however held for three downs and on the fourth punt. Howe and recovered the ball but gained very little in running back. She sturred down, the field using line plumes and in three downs gained six yards and on the fourth tried a "fake kick" which was unsuccessful, thus giving the ball to Lincoln. This time the Lincoln eleven recounted to a series of off tackle and end run drives which netted them two first downs, landing them on Howard's 18 yard line. Then a well executed forward pass to Skilhart brought the first toenewdown. Lincoln, however, failed to kick good. At the kickoff Lincoln again received the ball. The "Blue and White" held Lincoln for downs after play had succeeded in making one first down. With the enanging of reads in the second quarter, the *disadvantage* which Howard had experienced in attempting to make gains over the mud-soaked section of the goddam was reversed. After a number of line plunges, followed by a penalty to Lincolns for pillling up, Howard came up to Lincoln's one yard line. Payne, Howard's plucky full back, was given the ball and he carried it over for a touchdown. Brooks gave Howard the point of advantage when he lifted the oval between the bars for the extra point. RABBLES DEFY WEATHER IN DUS PLAY OF SCHOLL, SPIRIT The ending of the first half was the eps for "rabble" exhibitions. The rabbles of both school's upended upon the field in spite of its mud-soaked condition and the continuous rain. The "Blue and White" rabble headed by its band executed a wild snake dance, while the Lincoln horde did its serpent tine dance. The weather forbade society exhibitions. The rain and slush kept the ladies in their seats, prohibiting the fur coat parade of last year. The fact that Lincoln had scored was a complete surprise to everybody. Even the Lincolinites were wild with delight over the fact that their team had succeeded in making the first score which had been registered against Howard this year, despite the fact that the "Blue and White" was a point ahead. When the second half opened they looked upon victory as something wished for, but scarcely expected. Howardites became chained when during the second quarter the familiar face of "Cute" Carter, Quarter back off last year's team, appeared on the field. The Howard section gave forth a poering cheer upon the sight of Carter.

November 16.—We, a group of Virginia women representing the several Christian bodies, the Jewish women and other agencies organized for social work, having been duly constituted The Women's Section of the Virginia State Committee in Inter-Racial Cooperation assembled in Richmond, November 16, 1921, desire to express our gratitude for this opportunity of service. Realizing that responsibility follows opportunity, we are deeply sensible of the greatness of the task confronting us and would approach it in the spirit of humility and dependence upon God. Following world conditions, we are confronted by nations in conflict, due largely to increased race consciousness, and we of the South find ourselves face to face with a new period of adjustment. We deploy any conditions in our midst that tend to widen the breach between peoples whom circumstances have thrown to the end and whose deficiencies are inevitable interwoven in our own and coming generations. We believe righteousness, justice, peace, and goodwill can be established except this challenge with different colors. We accept this challenge with the golden rule and pledge our wholehearted support to the educational movements now sweeping over the entire South for better racial conditions, human liberty and preservation of the ideals upon which this government is founded. To this end we suggest the following. 1. That we strive to bring our women to a better understanding of the opportunity at our doors by a more Home in the School Negro Life in the Church to the end of deponing public science as touching our responsibility to our Negro neighbors. 2. That we emphasize the fact that no community is stronger than its weakest link, and that therefore in matters of education, public health, child welfare, recreation and general living conditions, more adequate provision be made for the Negro. 3. Because we believe the public press to be a potent factor for the pro motion of who'some race relationship, we urge that the achievements of the Negro be emphasized rather than his delinquencies, and to this end pledge our personal influence. 4. That we stand uncompromisingly against lawlessness in all forms, for the administration of justice through the regular constituted channels and of by self constituted bodies for which there is no place in our midst. 5. We pledge ourselves to uphold the hands of our officials in maintenance of the law. 6. We declare ourselves for a single standard of morals, for the protection of all womanhood and equal punishment for all offenders against the same. Finally, believing that public sentiment is our greatest asset in bringing about all progress and reform, and be cause women through the home and social life are a great factor in creating the same, we commend to ourselves and our sisters women the part we are privileged to play in the development such a moment in Virginia as will tend to the realization of this program (Sirred).

EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from last week) THROUGH THE SIERRAS. I awoke early and looked out. Then found that the train was passing through the SIerras, a series of high mountain ranges, Mr. R. L. Williams, colored supervisor for the Puhrman Company was on the train and pointed out places of interest. I saw the Lincoln Highway through this mountainous country. In places the roadway was narrow, not room enough for either car or team to pass another. I saw a farmer with a two horse wagon driving in front of a car. There was nothing for the automobilist to keep well behind on account of the cloud of dust and travel at a emails pace or stop He had stopped and waited. For once the horses had the right of way and thought it. EMIGRANT GAP. We passed to Enlargant Gap, where above the railroad was the old emigrant road from the East crossed a divide and followed down the ridges of the Sierra to the valley of the Sierraamento River. We could look for miles and see the ridges of hoary mountains while below the canyons inspired awe, if not fright among the t mild passengers. Then we saw the tunnel-like snow-sheets, of most侵略able value in winter, as snow $ \mathrm{I}_{n} $ these parts are said to reach a depth of 20 feet and 10 feet is of common occurrence. "For miles the Southern Pacific R. R. traverses the ridge above the americana River, sometimes at the very brink of the chasm and every where offering vistas of magnificent sweep across the hills of mountains, range afar range receding, and into the abyss, the rugged mountain sides slope downward in precipitous angler: sinking in almost sheer descent. The Sierra rise like a wall beoy and ahead loomed the dark pine end promontory of Giant Gap, pushing its bulky form far out into the canyon and blocking the way of the stream which swirls in swift water around its base. MANY PERISHED. Mr. Williams had called my attention to Donner Lake, California, where 75 years ago, George Donner and a party of 81 emigrants met with disaster. In making the trip, the party had been unavoidably delayed and when they finally reached the lake winter had set in and a deep snow had fallen, barring their pathway. It was on the first day of October, when they had almost reached the summit of the Sierra, after having toiled across the desert of Utah and Nevada that they could go no further. A few succeeded in crossing on snow shoes. Their possessions were giving out. TUNNELLED THROUGH SNOW Rescue parties started out. They had to tunnel through the snow. When they reached the party 36 of them had perished. A large cross marks the spot on the edge of the lake and the lake was named after the leader of the party. Trees were afterwards found to have been chopped off 40 feet above their base, which showed that the snow was that deep and that the choppers must have been standing that high upon the top of it. I passed through Reno, the scene of the Jim Jeffress-Jack Johnson fight and then I saw the train wind down one side of a valley and come out lower on the other side, while the snow sheds covered the line to protect the track. THE GREAT NEVADA DESERT We were now entering the Great Nevada Desert. In $I_{1}$ the midst of this was Humbolt, termed the oasis of the desert. Irrigation is everywhere evident. By this I mean that the Government has cut huge ditches from the nearest river and diverted the water, changing thousands of acres of land in to fertile farms. Then we travelled again $I_{2}$ through miles of sand, with no sign of vegetation save the worthless kind which may be found in scant patches in this paralyzing waste. At times I would see wagon tracks, but no where did I $I_{3}$ even the sign of an automobile. Then we came to railroad stations. I looked in vain for pumps, wells and springs. On a side track could be seen water cars, placed there by the railroad company. Without these the settlers would die from thirst. THE SHOSHONE INDIANS At Elkro, Novada, were a few ShoShone Indians When I awoke, Wednesday morning we were still losing time but travelling through the desert. All (Continued on Second Page.)

SHE STILL TAKES IN WASHING. Colored Woman's Millions Fall to Change Her Mode of Life. Thrifty citizens still remain, in spite of the despair expressed by reformers at the extravagance and waste of the people throughout this land, A. C. Cooper of Shrewport, La., who was at the Hotel McAlpin the other day told of a colored woman down in his town who continues to take in washing although 'she is worth about $3,000,000. "A piece of land bought by this colored washwoman against the day when she could put aside her tub and rest awhile was discovered to contain mous oil deposits," said Mr. Cooper. "Today the woman is in the millionaire class, with a corps of lawyers to protect her interests. But she has not given up her occupation or changed her mode of living. Her happiness is in her work. The fortune, in fact, is said to have brought her only the fear of bodily harm, of being poisoned or otherwise disposed of for her money." W. H. SKIPWITH WRITES ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Successful Catch of Foward Pass and Long Run For Goal by Captain Law Makes Lincoln Eleven Victories¹¹ Annual Classic—Howard Team Was Strong on the Drive But Lincoln is old at Critical Moment—Paine at Hawkins Hilton 58 Run Yard Nearly Tursed Tire Philadelphia, Pa.—Before nearly 10,000 or more spectators in the National League Park, Philadelphia, Pa. Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 1921, the Howard machine, which throughout the season had remained victorious and unscored upon, fell before the Lincoln warriors in the Annual Football Classic of the year by a score of 13 to 7. On a field which was two feet of mud, the two teams ploughed an angle through the mtry subshell under a continue downpour of rain in the struggle to win the son's closing football event. The victory which wont to Lincoln was secured in the last period when Captain Law pulled a forward pass out of the air and ran down the field for 25 yards to the goal line. The Lincoln triumph was unexpected and came as a surprise both to the Howard and Lincoln followers. Howard had all along been the favorite. Even after Lincoln had made a touchdown in the first quarter which was closely followed by a touch down and a goal by Howard in the second quarter, everyone felt sure that the "Blue and White" would easily remain victorious. LINCOLN RECEIVES KICKOFF At the opening of the game, Lincoln won the toss and chose to receive the kickoff which went to Captain Law. Before Law was able to advance with the ball, he was downed by a Howard player. At the very outset, Lincoln called into play the famous Dartmouth Shift." For a while the Howd warriors were unable to solve it. Lincoln was however held for three downs and on the fourth punt. Howd and recovered the ball but gained very little in running back. She starred down the field using line plunges and three downs gained six yards and on the fourth tried a "fake kick" which was unsuccessful, thus giving the ball to Lincoln. This time the Lincoln eleven escorted to a series of off tackle and two run drives which netted them two first downs, landing them on Howard's 18 yard line. Then a well executed forward drive to Skinker brought the first touchdown. However, failed to kick good the kickoff Lincoln again received the ball. The "Blue and White" held Lincoln for downs after they had succeeded in making one first down. With the changing of goals in the second quarter, the disadvantage which Howard had experienced in attempting to make gains over the mud soaked section of the gridron was reversed. After a number of line plunges, followed by a penalty to Lincoln for piling up, Howard came up to Lincoln's one yard line. Payne, Howard's plucky full back, was given the ball and he carried it over for a touch down. Brooks gave Howard the point of advantage when he lifted the oval between the bars for the extra point. RABBLLES DEFY WEATHER IN DIS PLAY OF SCHOLL SPIRIT The ending of the first half was the cu₀ for "rabble" exhibitions. The rabbles of both schools pounced upon the field in spite of its mad-soaked condition and the continuous rain. The "Blue and White" rabble headed by its band executed a wild snake dance, while the Lincoln horde did its serpent tine dance. The weather forbade society exhibitions. The rain and sloughed the ladies in their seats, prohibiting the fur coat parade of last year. The fact that Lincoln had scored was a complete surprise to everybody. Even the Lincolnites were wild with delight over the fact that their team had succeeded in making the first score which had been registered against Howard this year, despite the fact that the "Blue and White" was a point ahead. When the second half was played upon victory as something wished for, but carefully pected. Howardites became elated when during the second quarter the familiar face of "Cute" Carter, Quarter back off last year's team, appeared on the field. The Howard section gave forth a roaring cheer upon the sight of Carter.

True friendship is just as good as true love. When you do the best you can, no more can be expected of you. Cold weather brings suffering, just as warm weather often brings disease. Intelligent people will secure an education and learn how to save their own money. Having an aim in life is half the struggle. Still, many young people have no aim in life. Promises are all right if they are kept and they are all wrong, if they are not kept. Crying is all right for children, but but it is mighty poor business for grown folks. Some people believe that they can reach Heaven by the short route, but they are doomed to disappointment. Deception has been practiced through all ages and among all peoples, but never more than it is at the present time. Cloudy days are displirting and sun-shiny days cheering, but some people carry long faces, during all kinds of weather. People, who are too tender-hearted and bashful are not fitted for the warfare of the life. They move by "other men's breath." The Disarmament Conference at Washington is reaching a stage where most of the observers of its actions are smiling. It costs much money to run business, but most people think that the longer they delay pay day, the better the business will thrive. Some people are just beginning to talk about the Golden Rule. It has been in discard for some time among the nations of the earth. The Bible is supposed to be the foundation of all churches, but some of them have gotten off that foundation some time ago. Meditating in a grave-yard is mighty unpleasant business. It has a tendency to make one feel that it will not be long before they get there,—on the inside. The "Lily Whites" are endeavoring to figure out how it happened. They could see the gubernatorial mansion in the distance, but were unfortunate enough not to get there. God continues to help the colored folks and when some of the white folks join in the movement, the suc- cess of this class of people on earth is secure. The disappearing colored vote, which was cast November 8th, 1921 seems to be showing up on Governor-elect E. Lee Trinkle's side of the column and we are satisfied. President King of Liberia sailed for home on a United States battle-ship, but he left that five million dollar loan behind. It is hoped that the Congress of the United States will extend the aid requested. Colored folks, let us use temperate language and do all we can to win the good opinion of the better class of white folks, wherever this can be done without compromising our manhood or sacrificing any fundamental principles. --- The St. Paul Appeal is waging a great fight in behalf of fundamental principles and while it may not see the full results of its efforts either to day or tomorrow, success must necessarily crown its efforts. There are so few leaders now, either white or colored, who are far-scoring enough to see and understand this that it is highly gratifying to note the fling of liberty being carried aloft by men who face scorn and ridicule and who defy the powers of evil in their demand for the triumph of fundamental right principles. THE TROUBLE IN IRELAND. Ireland expects absolute independence and is steadily contending for it, with nearly one half of this same Island objecting to absolute independence. Should Great Britain grant the demands of the lower half, it will have civil-war at its own doors and in this war it will soon be embroiled. The last condition will be worse than the first. To get all that it demands, the Sinn Fein organization must beat England, better known as Great Britain. Then it must sublimate Haiti. This is the Irish problem and time alone $ \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{n}} $ brings about a solution. The support, extended by the Irish in this country is really the back-bone of the insurrection and it may be that we shall be ultimately be drawn into the contest. Of course, the religion of Josus Christ affords a way out and an observation of its teachings would bring peace, but these people use religion for Sunday purposes and find parts of it very consoling when they do not conflict with their ideas and notions. THE CONFIRMATION OF MR. JOHNSON. The action of the United States Senate in rejecting the nomination of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia will not set well "up on the stomachs" of the colored people of these United States. The announcement of Senators Watson and Harris, rock-ribbed Democrats of Georgia that the confirmation of the nominee would be personally objectionable to them will make the failure to confirm all the more objectionable to the conservative people of the United States inasmuch as the appointment does not come within the purview of tiffo senators. It is not with in the limits of the State of Georg'a, which State they represent. Mr. Johnson has held the office before with credit to himself and with satisfaction to the people of the District of Columbia. It is the duty of the Republica leaders to see to it that the nominee is confirmed and we hope that President Warren G. Harding will re-nominate him and insist upon his confirmation. Certainly, if a sub-committee of the Senate found his nomination all right and then the full committee, there can be no legitimate excuse for his rejection. We are hoping that his rejection is only temporary and that in the end he may be the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. THE IRISH SITUATION. It is stated that the Irish and the Brit ish are on the verge of a resumption of hostilities. We have never seen any reason for the cessation of these activities, with two extremists in action, neither one of which will yield until the other is destroyed. We have no record in the history of the world where any nation has ever achieved its complete independence until one or the other had been vanquished by a force of arms. Ireland or at least the southern part of it is full of fight. The northern part is full of fight too, but it is against its own 'flesh and blood." If Great Britain grants complete independence to Ireland as is demanded THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA by the southern part, it will be only to have a civil war at its doors, with the United. States by the under-ground route furnishing arms to southern Ireland and Great Britain by the underground route furnishing arms to northern Ireland. It is an open question as to whether or not the two countries might not be openly drawn into the conflict. Northern Ireland is Protestant and southern Ireland is Roman Catholic and religion will enter into the conflict promising to furnish one of the bloodiest periods in the history of civilization. The world is war-weary, but these people are panting for more war with all of its horrors. Great Britain is simply gaining time by delay after delay with the hope that some way out may be found. It may be that Great Britain as a last resort will accord complete independence to the southern part of Ireland, which part refuses to take the oath of allegiance to the crown or it may be that it may decide to let the two contending parties "fry in their own fat" and fight it out amongst themselves. In either event, it "spoils trouble" for Great Britain. An yet all of these people profess a faith in the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and on Christmas will offer prayers and profess allegiance to the Prince of Peace, O, the hypocrisy of it! Y, W, C, A, NOTES. "Godli Opportunity in the present Crisis" was the subject of a very thoughtful and forceful address by Mr. J. R. Henderson at Vesper Services on Sunday Afternoon. Mr. Henderson reviewed briefly the Disarmament Conference and showed how God had at his disposal the heads of the governments now gathered in Washington, that it was God's opportunity if He so wifted to use these minds to lead the world out. That the time was now ripe for the foundation, of world peace and security to be laid. But before this can be done a disarmament must take place in the hearts of men. Emunity and race hatred must be cast out. "If nothing tangible is done at this Conference then we can but become skeptical about the powers of might and right." The duct by Misses Julia and Martha Lewis and the violin solo by Mr. Thomas Barrett were excellently rendered and were very much enjoyed. Dr. Bessie Tharpe presided. Mr. W. M. Banks will be the speaker at Vespers on Sunday afternoon. Special musical numbers will be rendered. The program is being arranged by Miss Miltrud Johnson. Miss Beee Boyd is the new adviser of the Coronation Corps. This group of young girls are delighted to have Miss Boyd with them and are planning for very pleasant and delightful times. Miss Julia Lewis has also volunteered for Club Work. The various clubs are planning to send Xmas gifts to Chin Lee, Arizona to the Navajo Indians and to Chrooke, N. C., to the Chrookees. The South Atlantic Girl Reserves are pledged to give these little folks a Merry Xmas and so our girls are going to do their part. Miss Adelaide Smith, Girls Work Secretary from Columbia, S. C., and Miss Janie Cunningham from Petersburg were guests at the "Y" during the past week. --- COLORED DEMOCRACY CONGRESS SET FOR DECEMBER 14.

Thursday morning we arrived at Ogden and a short time thereafter at Salt Lake City on time. The train time was so slow that the one hour and forty minutes we had lost was readily made up. That train stopped at every station and I had plenty of time for both observation and meditation. I did much of both. I was to reach Denver at 12:45 the next day. I was now on the Denver and Rio Grande line. The train was to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was told that the road had much trouble with washouts and could not make much time. Mr. Williams had returned to Oakland California from Sparks Nevada. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. FULTON NOTES. We were glad to have a large gathering in our Sunday School last Sabbath. The Training class of the School is getting along nicely. Other members of the school and church are asked to take a part with us. 11:30 A. M. our pastor preached a strong gospel sermon from the 9th Chapter of John and the 31st verse. A large audience was out to greet him. 8:30 P. M. our pastors gave an exposition of the Beautitudes. Our hearts were lifted up while he talked to us by the Way. The pastor and officers take this method in thanking the members and many friends for their loyalty in the rally, which was only stage for one month. They made a creditable showing. Tomorrow morning at 11:30 A. M. our pastor's subject will be 'Recognition in Heaven. Come out on time and get a good comfortable seat. 3:30 P. M. Communion services, come and share with us some of the good times had in these services. Tuesday 8:30 P. M. the Rev. O. B. Simms, the pastor of the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church will preach focus.

For the information of bankers business men and the public generally the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, has issued an authoritative and comprehensive little book on the organization and operation of the Federal Reserve System. It answers many practical questions regarding the new banking law and meets a number of objections raised by persons not fully cognizant of the purpose and working of the system. Such matters as mobilized credit, reserve accounts, elastic currency, rediscounts, par collections, and the immed. late credit symbol are clearly and succinctly explained. The book further shows in non-technical language the benefits which have accrued to the banking and business interests of the country as a result of the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. Among these are listed increased financial security, more generous credit accommodations, lasticity of currency from rediscounts, an easier system for the transfer of funds, mobilization of reserves when and where needed, economy of time and money in check collection, and greater confidence of the public. The book, entitled "Questions and Answers on the Federal Reserve System," takes up the general plan of the organization of the Federal Reserve system and shows how banking institutions may attain membership. The functions of the Federal Reserve Banks are then described, this chapter going into questions of mobilization of reserves, the elasticity of currency, rediscounts, and eligible paper, and being followed by a discussion of the reserves o f member banks, collections transfers and currency shipments, State bank and trust company member ship, etc. Member banks will find the book of interest since it is designed to make clearer many points regarding the operations of the Federal Reserve act; to non-member banks it will be of value as explaining the manifold advantages and privileges of membership; to the business man generally it will prove worth while inasmuch as it shows how the Federal Reserve bank in each of the twelve districts safeguards and strengthens the financial, industrial, and commercial enterprises of the nation. The book is well printed on good paper; it is neatly bound in cloth, has a complete table of contents, and is fairly and conveniently indexed. The so desiring copies of this book should write direct to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. ARKANSAS MOB LYNCHES MAN. Man Accused of Attacking Woman Is Given Short Shift. --- Hecena, Ark., Nov. 18—Will Turner, colored, charged with an attack on a young woman here today, was taken by a mob from a sheriff's posse, while being removed to Marianna, Arkansas., for safekeeping and after being shot to death by members of the mob, his body was brought back here and burned $I_n$ the city park. Will Turner, colored who was lynch ed was arrested soon after the attack on the young woman but feeling ran so high that Sheriff Mays ordered him removed to Marianna for safekeeping. He was taken $I_n$ from the officers by a mob of about thirty men a few miles outside the city. They forcibly took the prisoner from the officers and removed him to the woods nearby where his body was riddled with shot. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. (Continued From First Page) office-holders. This aroused action against him and even if the vote that would otherwise have come to me went over 40 Hon. E. Lee Trinkle, those associated with me are content. In conclusion, it may be well to add that the vote accredited to Senator E. Lee Trinkle, two days after the election was approximately 62,000. It is now 12,000 more—74,000. The vote accredited to Hon. Henry W. Anderson was 59,000. It is now 8,000 more—67,000. The only comment I wish to make is that the Anderson vote, so far as the colored people are concerned was negligible. We entered the campaign for a purpose—the overwhelming defeat of Col. Henry W. Anderson and we accomplished that purpose. If there is any way possible Mr. Editor to give Hon. E. Lee Trinkle the remaining 5,230 votes officially recorded to us, kindly advise, and I and my associates will gladly execute a quit claim deed to this remaining piece of political "property." Solah.

THE PE-RU-NA CO. COLUMBUS, O. BOOK CHAP. BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON. "THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO" (by Robert T. Kerlin, Published by E. P. Dutton, and Company, 681 Fifth Ave., N. Y. City, Prico $2.50, Postage 12 cents.) Mr. Robert T. KerXn, professor at Virginia Military Institute last June wrote a letter to the Governor of Arkansas in which he declared it would be a crime against the Creator, if the six colored men, condemned to death were executed. "Were they to suffer death," he said, "they would be crucified." Shortly after this statement he was asked to resign by the Board of Virginia Military Institute. Refusing to do this, he was dismissed. This courageous letter to the Governor of Arkansas was the culmination of a number of acts sympathetic to the Negro, that had evidently grated against the sensibilities of the Board of Virginia Military Institute. Probably "The Voico of the Negro" the book which Mr. Kerlin's publishers put out in 1920, was one of his heinous offenses. This book presents to the reader a careful synopsis of Negro ophion, as voiced through its press for four months succeeding the Washington riot. To quote from the preface, "virtually the entire Afro-American press consisting of two dailies, a dozen magazines and nearly three hundred weeklies, has been drawn upon." When I told the publisher, Mr. Kerlin goes on to say, "that I was making this compilation, he remarked that my book would make its agreeable reading. There are worse things than disagreeable reading." Even the most diligent reader of the Negro press would be surprised at the comprehensive and able editorial matter that Mr. Kertin presents. Extracts from northern and southern papers (one is especially impressed with the courage of southern Negro editors) make up his book. He has covered all forms of racial discrimination and has also a chapter on Race Progress. Among a few of his deductions we quote the following: RACE RIOTS "Self-defense is applauded and advocated I believe, by the entire colored press with one exception." THE NEW NEGRO AND THE OLD "The Negro is refusing to accept kindness in blew of justice. It has long been the custom according to the colored papers for the southern white man to make a creditable asset of his affections for some dear old black 'mammy' and this or that 'aunty' or 'uncle.' to the new Negro, this profession makes no appeal whatsoever. It doesn't touch the question of his demands." THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTIC THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE "The discriminations against colored people in regard to arrest, imprisonment, trial and punishment, weigh most heavily upon them. They complain that they are at the mercy of a brutal police, a prejudiced judge, and a jury on which they are not represented. The standard of justice is one thing for the white man, another thing for the black man." LYNCHINGS Accounts of lynchings and many editorials of striking force are taken from northern and southern papers. We read of the horrors with which the colored reader is only too familiar. Especially interesting is the bringing out of instances of the use of "burnt cork." Witness a North Carolina story. "The Negro man who horsewhipped Mrs. William Crisp (white) was neither a Negro nor a man," but a white woman who disguised herself." The book ends with some of the great poems by Negro writers: Lucan B. Watkins, Georgia D. Johnson, William Rufus Lackaye, and Claude McKay's sonnet that started both races by its tremendous message of fighting power, "If We Must Die." Now, how to obtain this book? I be lieve one reason why the American people do not buy more books, and are poor book buyers, that it is difficult to purchase them. If you wants a necktie, or kitchen utensil, even a piece of furniture, one usually find it at the nearby store even though one lives in a small place. But this country is lamentably living in book shops. And even the cities that have such stores often, not carry the book that one particularly wants. It is therefore necessary usually to send for a book by mailer. Those, who, after reading this view, want to secure Professor Klin's book can get it by sending the necessary amount. $2.62 direct to the publisher, E. P. Dutton and Company. If a book like this is ordered at a store unless one is a regular customer, one must expect to deposit the price. Professor Kerlin was at the Deta conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. All who saw and heard him wished with his scholarship and deep sincerity. He belongs to a line of white men of Virginia, too of recent years, who have placed the love of democracy above petty re prejudice. JOHN WILLIAM SMITH, TAMM CANDIDATE CLAIMS ELECTRIC Despite Apparent Uncertainty and leged Subterfuges of Oppon Smith Avers That He Has Reed a Plurality of 105 Votes. John William Smith, has been ed alderman of the Twenty-first American District over George W. He on the face of the returns. Mr. S stated to The Age that despoite of loose talk and four-fourishing is the victor and is confident that Board of Aldermen will substitute his claims when the official can is made. The charge is made that friend Harris are resorting to subterfuge create the impression that the ent incumbent was returned when on November 8th. It is claim the close to the Tannamy Hallidate that the belated figures proed by the Republican candidate, have very little bearing on the outcome. Although the twenty-first Alder ie District is regarded as one of city's Republicine strongholds, S defeated Harris by a plurality of votes. Never before in the histo New York politics have colored rallied to the support of a democ candidate in such large num Weeks before election day no existed as to who was the more po candidate among both colored white voters. John William Smith, the suce candidate, has practiced law in local courts, for over two years was at Petersburg, Va., Janua 1875 and was educated in the schools of his home town.

Church Crowded in Honor of Colored Soldier Dead, Big Audience Appeals Appeal to See The Our Soldiers Have Not Died in Vain. Fund Started For Colored Democracy Congress at D.C. Military Funeral The Other Feature. Boston, Mass., Nov. 13.—Boston witnessed a double observance of the national "Armistice Sunday" as suggested by the National Equal Rights League. At noon a full military funeral was held over the remarks of a returned soldier. Sergt. Wm. E. Carter, most famous of Boston's Colored war dead, at the South Armory conducted by the Wm. E. Carter Post of the American Legion. Wm. L. Reed, Esq. declared that while soldiers and government officers who made a line of markation for colored Americans after Sergt. Carter's great sacrifice, disgraced themselves and the nation. Pev. Chas. R. Winthrop, post chaplain urged the race to fight a good fight to make evasion of real democracy difficult. DEMOCRACY CONGRESS The crowning (fetuare was the mass meeting at 9 P. M. in the Columbus Avenue Zion Church, where congregations of People's Baptist, 12th Baptist and Grant A. M. E. Churches joined in the Armistice observance E. T. Morris president of the local Equal Rights League, explained the purpose to honor the soldier dead and to further their cause for world democracy by arranging and sending delegates to the 2nd World Democracy Congress at Washington, December 14th during the World Dis-aramament Conference. Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, pastor of 12th Baptist and national president of the League insisted that it was in the Providence of God that the World Powers had at last come to this country, so that the Colored people could reach Lloyd George and the heads of other nations, including Japan without going to the expense and time of traveling to Europe. While the perfidious Wilson forbade passports for the first Peace Conference no one could keep the race delegates out of Washington. He also characterized President Harding's Alabama speech as illogical and diabolical in its social separation. Rev. D. S. Klugh, pastor of People's Baptist, declared that the Disarmament Conference offered our race an historic opportunity to get our actual condition before the diplomats of the world as the matter of protection, both by personal interviews and formal petitions by a national convention at Washington. He also said that President Harding's speech, by its subtlety, was the most misenjoyable thing yet done to the race. COMPLIMENTS SOLDIER GUESTS Rev. B. W. Swain, pastor of Zion paid an eloquent compliment to officers of Wm. E. Carter Post, on the platform as men who had saved the world and give the race title to real democracy. He said the race should hold a national convention at the doors of the World Disarmament Conference to demand fulfillment from the very nations for whose very life our boys fought and died. He then appealed to the audience for funds toward convention arrangement expenses and the audience responded with $60.00. METHOD FOR DELEGATES Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter read the call of the 2nd Democracy Congress at Washington, December 14th, urging the race to hold local Equal Rights Meetings to send delegates and permitting any race body or church to send delegates to take part fully in this Congress to be conducted by the Equal Rights League, provided they brought credentials. He explained that there would be a similar after church mass meeting in some local church every Sunday night till December 14, to raise funds to send delegates to be publicly chosen at the final rally. ARMSECE DAY AT A, AND T COLLEGE, GREENSHORO, N, C. North Carolina, Nov. 11.—The celebration of this year's Armistice Day at the above institution was under the direction of a committee composed of Preferences D. K. Cherry, J. A. Grimes and G. B. Love. The observance of the day at the college was characterized by the school's well-known desire to excel $ \mathrm{I_{n}} $ what ever it undertakes. Guided by this ideal, the committee arranged a splendid two hour program. A feature which attracted unusual attention and excited admiration because of its scenic effects was a parade which lasted half an hour. Former service men representing sixteen military organizations paraded under the direction of Captain W. W. Green and Professor T. B. Jones. The banners bore the following inscription 371st, 365 Infantry; 367th Infantry 506 371st Infantry; 367th Infantry, 506 Engineers, Hospital Corps, S. A. T. C. C. 92nd Division Machine Gun; B., 317th M. O. R. S., Depot Brigade 810 Plenor Infantry; 534th Engineers; 309 Hq. Co., and 372nd Infantry. Many of the men wore their military uniforms and various medals and other decorations which distinguished both individuals and organizations. Students without uniforms wore their best suits, as did teachers and many towns people who honored the occasion by their presence. The imposing procession ended by encircling the bansstand which had been tastefully decorated under the guidance of Captain Green. After the college band directed by bandmaster Prof. T. B. Jones, played "Nearer My God to Thee," prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Hester of Mt. Sinai Baptist church. La Marseilles was played by the band and Chairman Cherry presented President J. B. Dudley who in his usual happy style both "speech and manner delivered a brief but able and appropriate introductory address." President Dudley with feeling and deliberation declared that American colored people have always been patriotic and loyal. He pointed out the fact that colored soldiers have played an important part in all our wars. He extolled the good nature and hopefulness of the race, and predicted a bright future for it. The main idea of Dr. Dudley's speech was that colored people have made the great advancement that has been their largely because they have not been vindicative. He made a plea for a continuation of the policy of our ancestry to progress by following examples of Him who taught that good should be returned for evil not only by individuals but by races as well. He felt that the fact that there has not been a sufficiently strong desire on the part of the nations of the earth to heed such teaching was in no small measure responsible for the Great World War, but offered the encouraging hope and suggestion that the convolution of the great powers now deliberating in our capital might do much in causing men to see that they are their brother's keepers. The Mayor's proclamation was read by Mr. Arthur Blaine; the governor's by Mr. Samuel Giles; while that of the President of the United States was read by Mr. D. L. Terrell. Another secession was played by the band, America was played and sung, and Chairman Cherry introduced the speeer of the day—Major Deans. Major Deans has had a long and honorable as well as successful military careers, having served in the Phillippines, in Mexico, and as Major in the world war. He was in the Ninety-Second Division in the A. E. F. He is now Physical Director of Howard University. Major Deans's address showed considerable powers of thought and sentiment and was an excellent tribute to both colored people generally and to colored soldiers. He declared that "Loyalty of the Colored American is a most potent weapon," that "we gather in honor of our dead heroes, $i_n$ commemoration of their virtues, valor, and bravery in war. He spoke especially of the daring of a member of the faculty of A. and T. College Captain R. L. Campbell Who twice in the same battle was cited for unusual coruage $i_n$ action. He'd out the responsibility that time might show that the unknown here who was being bred at Arlington was a colored man. At the conclusion of the fine address which was interrupted at high noon for two minutes' silent prayer in the midst of the solemn toiling of many church bells, the national anthem was played by the band and sung by the large audience with enthusiasm. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. A. Cotton, Principal of the Henderson Normal School of Henderson, N. C. EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN EDITORS ADDRESS LEAGUE Mammoth Boston Meeting to Send Delegates to 2nd World Democracy Congress—Duse Mohamed, African Turkish Subject, Strong For Africa Boston, Mass., Nov. 20.—The second meeting of the National Equal Rights League to send Boston delegates to the 2nd World Democracy Congress at Washington, December 14 was mammoth in size and boundless in enthusiasm, Duse Mohamed, Ali Effendi, of London a native of Egypt, Turkish sub subject, editor of the Oriental and African Review and Dr. R. S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender being the guests of the League and the principal speakers as well. After E. T. Morris, local league president, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, national league president and W. M. Trotter, secretary had urged that all Colored communities send delegates to the Nat. race convention to meet December 14 at the doors of the World Disarmament Conference to press home the need of protection for peoples of Color, Duse Mohamed greeted by a rising audience, argued that the race in this country should regard themselves as essentially Africans, our citizenship here amounting to but little. Editor Abbott greeted in the same manner, declared the race should insist upon all rights and fight for them firmly, even at the cost of life if need be. He was frequently applauded as he endorsed the work of the League and urged the race to stop cringing and take rights when they were not given us. Over $50.00 was given by the audience for expenses of delegates. Several more meetings are to be held. GOV, SMALL FIGHTS INDICTMENT Illinois. Governor Contends Grand Jury Was Improperly Drawn. Chicago, Nov. 25.—Governor Small now alleges that he never was bigly indicted. He contends that the Sangamon County Grand Jury that indicted him at Springfield was improperly drawn that it went beyond its lawful duty and privilege in returning its indictments even if it were a legal body, and that he now stands before the State of Illinois without any technical criminal charge confronting him. Governor Small socks annulment of any and all counts on all indictments returned against him in July at Spring field and the sama procedure is asked in behalf of Vernon Curtis, brother of former State Senator Curtis, indicted with Governor Small on all of the embezzlement and conspiracy charges in involving Governor Small's term as State Treasurer. On December 5th, formal motions will be presented to Judge Edwards embodying these points. November 18, 1921. Hon.

Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 21.—The sensation of the Sixth Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History which convened in Lynchburg last week, proved to be the address of Dr. E. B. Crooks, President of Randolph-Macon College, a white institution located near Lynchburg. In his address, Dr. Crooks used the President's speech at Birmingham and endorsed the stand on the question of social equality and racial amalgamation recently taken by President Harding. Dr. Crooks advised the audience of nearly one thousand of the leading colored citizens of Lynchburg to "develop a self-respect" and to recognize the "Impossible gulf that forever separates the Negro from the whites." "Every colored man or woman who cultivates a little flower garden and paints the face in front of his home is helping the race by this visible evidence of self-respect," continued the worthy Doctor. "Ask your leaders if I am not right on this score. Ask Dr. Moton. I am sure that he will agree with me." At the conclusion of the address Dr. C. G. Woodson, Director of the Association rose to make reply as a breathless silence fell upon the great gathering... Speaking clearly, slowly and in a most emphatic manner, the Director opened his remarks by stating first that he wanted to give Dr. Crooks a little information on the Negro question. He then proceeded to enlighten the worthy Doctor to the effect that President Harding nor any other white man could not speak for Negroes because they did not know what Negroes were thinking about; secondly, he stated very decidedly that neither was Robert Russia Moton in a position to speak for Negroes because his so-called leadership had long since been repudiated by all intelligent and self-respecting Negroes. "M ydear Sir, continued Dr. Woodson, "you and all white men have the wrong conception of what Negroes mean by social equality. We are not seeking to marry white women, red women, yellow women, or any other color of women; but we do want to ride decemly in a railroad train or street car when we come into your State of Virginia. We do want the right to go to the po's and exercise our constitutional right to vote and to hold office; we do want the privilege of sitting where we please in the aters, railroad stations and other places of public assembly. And for these rights the Negro intends to first—until he dies." According to officials of the Association, the Conference which has just been concluded has been the most successful in the annals of the Association. Fully three thousand persons attended the various sessions during the two days of the Conference. Scholars and students of history, white and colored, assembled from all parts of the country to take part in the proceedings. Several prominent white southerners including Col. Robert T. Kerlin, were present. Among those who contributed to the program were: Prof. Chas. H. Wesley, Howard University; Prof. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. church; Prof. Ivan E. McDougle, Sweet Bran College; Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Editor Journal of Negro History; Victor R. Daily, Business Manager, Journal of Negro History; Dr. R. C. Woods, Va. Seminary and College; Prof. B. W. Tyrell, Va. Theo, Seminary and College, Dr. Wm. H. Stokes, Richmond Va. Dr. Frank Trigg, Bennett College and Rev. Vernon Johns. The Ministers' Conference. The Minister's Conference of Richmond and vicinity enjoyed a splendid meeting last Monday morning. It is the wish of the Conference that all members be present next Monday Special business to be attended to—That a constitutional question is to be settled. FADING AWAY OF LILY-WHITES "Stemp has slumped" is the Washington epitomization of Virginia election returns. The one Republican representative in Congress from the Old Dominion cones from Big Stone Gap in the Cumberland Mountain section of "Virginia's" southwest corner. Campbell Bascom Stemp had no opposition in his district. He has had little opposition since he succeeded his father in Congress a few years ago. Negroes are few in the mountains, though mochinshins many be many. Negroes are many in Richmond and in the cities of the State. Mr. Slemp conceived the idea that if the G. O. P. would simply ignore the Negroes, ostracize them, rob them of their weight in Republican conventions, it could win the Commonwealth with white votes. "Lily Whites" votes, alone. The plan was widely advertised. Gossip is that it was more than half indorsed by President Harding and by Will H. Hayes as Republican national chairman. It was not openly indorsed. At any rate it won a test. The blacks were indignant. They formed a "Lily Black" party and nominated a candidate. But the Democrats were somewhat divided and with an imperfect organization, and Stemp had hopes. His friends were claiming the State by 25,000 the day before election. The retufus show a Democratic victory by 60,000. Only about 20,000 votes were polled by the "Lily Blacks". The assumption is that a much larger number voted the Democratic ticket. This may be fairly called the fading away of the "Lily Whites" in Southern politics. It is a warning to a Republican Administration that there is no hope in deserting their Negro allies. And if the Administration accepts the warning, the experiment will not be repeated in Louisiana or North Carolina or Georgia for only patronage-yearning is the mainspring of a movement. And even in Ohio Republicans who have the ideals of Ben Wade and not the ideals of Rutherford B. Hayes are gratified by the present outlook. (Brooklyn, N. Y. Eagle.) COLORED MAN ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL IN MORRISVILLE. Morrisville, Pa.,—John W. Lewis, who was elected to Borough Council as a representative from the First Ward, is the only Negro in Buck County to hold a public office of this kind. Mr. Lewis won at the election in a three-cornered fight with Raymond Bunting, running on the Democratic ticket, and George M. Palmdf, a former president of Borough Council running independently. Mr. Lewis was the regular Republican nominee and his vote was within six as large as that polled of both his opponents. Mr. Lewis is highly respected here and throughout Buck County. He is a director of the Morrisville Chamber of Commerce and a large stockholder in the Morrisville Trust Company. He is the second largest real estate owner and taxpayer in Morrisville and one of the most successful business men in this section.

(RESIDENCE NEXT DOOR) (Continued from First Page) SECOND HALF BEGINS Lincoln kicked off to Howard at the opening of the second half. The "Blue and White" made a number of short gains before being compelled to punt. A number of short forward passes by Lincoln netted her a couple of first downs. Upon being held by Howard she punted. Howard recovered the ball but failed to run the punt back up the field. A number of line plunges were tried but proved of no value to the "Blue and White" and she again resorted to a kick. Lincoln blocked the kick and Payne recovered it behind Howard's goal line with Lincoln holding him in his trucks for a touchback. The ball was then brought to Howard's twenty yard line. The quarter ended with the ball in the hands of the Blue and White eleven. CAPTAIN LAW SCORES WINNING TOUCHDOWN The fourth and last quarter opened with the ball in Howard's possession. The pigskin went over to Lincoln when an attempted pass on the fourth down failed. After a few minutes of play, Lincoln staged the surprise of the game when Parr received the ball as though he intended to bit the line and tossed it 20 yards into the cleat to the place where Captain Law had reached by racing away to the left in to the open. The ball fell into Law's outstretched hands and he speedily ran down the field for 25 yards to the goal line for a touch down cleverly eluding every Howard man. McLean kicked goal bringing Lincoln into the lead by 6 points. PAYNE NEARLY TURNS TIDE Following the touchdown by Law, Payno Howard's full back, brought the spectators to their feet with a 58 yard run from the kickoff. Again Howard showed her prowess by marching up the field to Lincoln's 4 yard line, making a number of first downs. Her rabble was begging her for a touchdown which seemed certain when apenalty for holding was inflicted carrying her back -15 yards. The THREED "Blue and White" was never able to overcome this handleup and lost the ball on downs after Payne had gathered in a neat forward pass. Lincoln kicked out of danger. Before the game was over, many forward passes were tried by Howard but all failed. The game ended with the ball near the center of the field, Lincoln at last defeating the Howard machine by a score of 13 to 7. STAR PLAYERS ON BOTH TEAMS Payne, Carter, and Captain Fuller were Howard's forte. Donoghy, Howard's offensive star in all previous games, was forced to retire in the last period because of injuries. Payne came into the spotlight more than once with brilliant plays. Carter, Howard's quarterback of last year, showed he had lost none of his prowess. Captain Fuller's work was steady and reliable. For Lincoln, Captain Law, Parr, Coston and Skinker were the individual stars. Law proved good both on the offense and defense. His football career at Lincoln ended with the playing of his greatest game. Parr and Coston were able assistants in the backfield and Skinker and Williams played strong on the line. HOWARD Smith L.

Douglas Herben, the noted evangelist preached at High Street Baptist Church Sunday and will conduct the anniversary service there during this week until Friday night. Rev. Herben preached Sunday from Psalms 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God, etc." He made a wonderful illustration of this text. It is hoped that these services may redound much to the help and edifying of the Church and that the glory of God may move mightily on the hearts of all the people here during these series of services and that some unsaved sinner may catch a gleam of hope and enter the fold of safety ere it be too late.

November 18, 1921. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Dear Sir—The Coolidge Republican Club in meeting assembled, salutes and congratulates the Hon. John Mitchell of Richmond, Va., for the courageous and heroic campaign he waged against the enemies of the race in his gubernatorial contest which ended with 25,000 of the colored electorate of the race standing loyalty by him. Your fearless leadership for the political and manhood rights of the race has never been equalled since the days of Frederick Douglass. In the political arena you proved yourself to be a Prince Rupert, boarding the political lions in both the Republican and Democratic dens, carrying the flight (as did our black soldiers both to Carter Glass and C. Bascom Slemp with so much power and "solf-determination" that the reports of the battle have aroused the apathetic and indifferent Republican Senators in Washington to report favorably the nomination of one of the race in the Senate. As a Virginian "who never tires" and a fighter like the guards of France who die but never surrender, we believe that you have just begun to lead the "rising tide of Color" against the common enemies of both the old political parties and that when the campaign of 1922 is over you will be able to say to both of the old politicalparties, "A plague o'er both your houses" "out with you" and let those who have humanized, the soil sad and sweetened the lives of others, have the opportunity to administer the affairs of the Old Dominion. The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts felicitates you upon the success which attended this preliminary skirmish just over. Be assured, Editor Mitchell, you have the sympathy and support of the Coolidge Club and you have but to command our services in your next campaign and they are yours. Very respectfully yours.

Hayden of Remarkable Cure—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results. L. J. Hayden, Richmond, Va: Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dropical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also dellrulous 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.

I can't praise your medicine too highly. Yours truly, W. H. MILLER, Highland Park, Richmond, Va. Mr. L. J.

November 18, 1921. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. 311 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir—The Coolidge Republican Club in meeting assembled, salutes and congratulates the Hon. John Mitchell of Richmond, Va., for the courageous and heroic campaign he waged against the enemies of the race in his gubernatorial contest which ended with 25,000 of the colored electorate of the race standing loyalty by him. Your fearless leadership for the political and manhood rights of the race has never been equalled since the days of Frederick Douglass. In the political arena you proved yourself to be a Prince Rupert, boarding the political lions in both the Republican and Democratic dens, carrying the fight (as did our black soldiers both to Carter Glass and C. Bascom Slemp with so much power and "self-determination" that the reports of the battle have aroused the apathetic and indifferent Republican Senators in Washington to report favorably the nomination of one of the race in the Senate. As a Virginian "who never tires" and a fighter like the guards of France who die but, never surrender, we believe that you have just begun to lead the "rising tide of Color" against the common enemies of both the old political parties and that when the campaign of 1922 is over you will be able to say to both of the old political parties, "A plague o'er both your houses" "out with you" and let those who have humanized, the soil sad and sweetened the lives of others, have the opportunity to administer the affairs of the Old Dominion. The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts felicitates you upon the success which attended this pre-Iminary skirmish just over. Be assured, Editor Mitchell, you have the sympathy and support of the Coolidge Club and you have but to command our services in your next campaign and they are yours. Very respectfully yours.

TOO MANY GIRLS IN NEW YORK Girls are Advised to Return to Their Homes in Other Cities. New York, Nov. 20.—There are too many girls in New York. So acute are certain phases of unemployment, and the housing situation there that young girls are advised to return to their homes in other cities where possible. This and other problems will be discussion by the Association to Promote Proper Housing for Girls, which convenes this week. According to Miss Cornelia Marshall, president of the association, lowered wages and lack of jobs are forcing hundreds of girls into cheaper rooms.

FOR EVANGELISTIC SERVICES WRITE H. CLAY GLOVER CO., 118 W 31st St., N.Y.C. Address: --- --- I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Haydon's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Haydon too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Haydon's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J.

Hayden of Remarkable Cure—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results L. J. Hayden, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dorsical 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 in-valuable 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 praise 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.
