WE SENEW INFORMAL ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 22 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 HARRY C. SMITH OUT FOR GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OHIO COLORED VOTERS TO SUPPORT PROMINENT EDITOR FOR THE NOMINATION. Ohio Afro-American Republicans are conducting meetings for the purpose of organizing to support one of their number for the Republican nomination for Governor; this fall. There are more than 125,000 colored voters in Ohio, over 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland. The fact that the Hon. Harry C. Smith for nearly forty years editor of The Cleveland, Ohio Gazette, organ of the Afro-American voters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohio Legislature from Cleveland, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State in the fall of 1920, naturally inclines his people to look to him as their choice for Governor. Editor Smith has received many letters from leading members of his race in Cincinnati, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Xenia, Toledo, Akron Youngstown, Sandusky, Zanesville and smaller cities and towns of the state, calling on him to stand as a candidate. When asked what his intentions were, he replied that he would announce his decision later. Mr. Smith was recognized throughout the country during two harding campaigns for Ohio's endorsement—for the Republican nomination and for the Presidency—as the national Harding leader of his race. He also led those in the state, with his paper in the support they gave the candidates of the Hon. Frank R. Willis for the U. S. Senate and Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty for delegate-at-large to the last Republican National Convention. His ability as a campaign speaker is well known throughout the state, particularly in Cleveland and Northern Ohio. Editor Smith's feature accomplishments, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of his people, are, Ohio Civil Rights Law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti Lynching Law, the latter the basis of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill recently passed in the U. S. House of Representatives and now pending in the U. S. Senate—Cincinnati, Ohio Enquirer. --- SPECIAL NIGHT AT EBENEZER.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 OFFICER KILLS MAN IN TRAGIC ARREST FOR RECKLESSNESS WADE ALLEN KILLED HERE BY OFFICER MATTHEWS. Wade Allen, a colored man, who was originally from New Jersey, but who resided at 1122 William street, was killed Thursday morning just before 4 o'clock by Officer Matthews, who has since been exonerated on the plea that he shot in self defense. A visit to the neighborhood and to the residence of the deceased disclosed the following facts. Allen and his wife had been to a dance at Johnson's Hall and from there went to a place on Second street between Clay and Leigh streets. From that point, in company with his wife, Cora, Al Black, Eddie Ross, Jim Young they went to Harris's restaurant. They got into a Ford car with Wade Allen driving. They were hailed by an officer for speeding and the officer claims he put Wade Allen under arrest. REACHED HOME FIRST Allen got into the car and out-distanced the officer. He reached Harrison and Moore streets, where he left, the men in the car and he and his wife went to their home a short distance away. When they returned, the officer was standing on the north west corner of Harrison and Moore streets, while the car was on the south-west corner of the same streets. The officer had shot at the tires of the car and one of the tires was flat. Allen went to crank the car, but it would not start. The officer ordered him to get into the car. Instead of doing this, he started towards Officer Matthews and as he reached the middle of the street, he attempted to draw a revolver from his hip pocket. THE OFFICER FIRED The officer fired, the ball entering, the breast. Wade Allen fell and the officer fired three or four more shots in the air as a signal. A crowd quickly gathered and the police reserves were rushed to the scene. The body was removed to the hospital. He died shortly afterwards and his remains were removed to Price's undertaking rooms. He was under the influence of liquor at the time, the tragedy occurred. Allen kept a small store just across from where he resided. His wife have relatives here. --- Well Known Citizen Passes Away "None knew him but to love him, Nor named him but to praise."

The world seemed filled with music, A gloom of night was gone. The breezes were a-sighting A low and joyous lay. All nature jeined them in the song. "The Lord arose to-day." Flowers of sweetest fragrance, Down in the grasses grew; Insects with many varied tints, Amidst their petals flew. The buzzing bee on busy wing, Gathering his treasured store, In language all his own, proclaimed His praises o'er and o'er. The brook down in the meadow, Hummed a low, cheerful song; His waters kissed the mossy banks. And passed the tune along. Soft breezes wafting onward, Raised the sweet song on high, Til mild the waving tree-tops It echoed to the sky. The birds perched in the branches, Caught the infectious tune; Stretched their wee threats, and lustily Alone this day he glad, This day when Christ defeated death, That man need never be sad? O man! wake from your slumber, And list to nature's song, Then raise your voice, in all its might And bear the strain along. Till angels with their harps of gold, Catching the thrilling strain, Shall shout with joy, for in the song They'll hear the voice of man --- NEW YORK FASHION SHOW AT RAYO THEATRE, TUESDAY APRIL 18, 8:30 P.

It was said that no action on the bill would be taken by the committee tor at least two weeks. Testimony offered by State and Treasury Department officials at hearings on the meaure revealed that American and British bankings interests had made advances totaling approximately $2,000,000 to the Liberian government. This led various members of the committee, it was said to believe that part of an advance from the United States would be used in cancelling such loans and doubt is said to have been expressed as to whether it, would be wise to make a loan under such circumstances. During the war the United States agreed to make the loan, but before actual advances were consumed, authority lapsed with the repeal of wartime legislation. The question of renewing the agreement was discussed several months ago at a White House conference between President Harding and a group of congressional leaders. At that time it was reported that President Harding favored making the loan and the bill pending, before the ways and means committee was drafted to obtain the sanction of Congress. en from Phillipians second chapter; and 5 th verse.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Once Months ..... 0.03 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY. APRIL 8, 1922 Raising children is an art that some people never learn. Some people seek disease and then grumble when they find it. Death is awful to some people and an eternal joy to some others. Speaking ill of everybody is a habit, with some people, a very bad habit. Parents with disease usually transmit their complaint to their children People, who are always well usually die when they are seriously affected with an ailment. Disappointments are for us all, but they are mighty unsatisfactory and un comfortable. Preachers are all right, for the people do not seem to be able to get along without them. Laziness is often mistaken for sickness and sickness is often mistaken for laziness. Some people eat one kind of food continuously and still expect to be healthy. The automobile craze is not abating and second hand cars are largely as sensible for it. You cannot argue with a fool and there are times, when you cannot argue with sensible people. Some parents are too indulgent and many others are too stern and unyielding. People, who speak well of their community are the true friends of progress in that neighborhood. Complaining continuously will rack the mind and make the individual a candidate for the mad-house. Some people believe that the only way to succeed is to rob some one else out of what is justly their due. Some children are a great comfort and there are thousands of others, who are a great discomfort. It pays to speak well of your neighbor. This will result in your neighbor speaking well of you. People, who fly above the earth usually come to the time, when they dive in to it and remain there. People, who confess to want to go to Heaven are using all the medicine they can find in order to stay here. People, who are tired of this world should be permitted to get out of it, like thousands of other people are doing. When an undertaker gets a body, if it is not dead, it soon will be. Suspend ed animation will be suspended forever. Fooling the people commenced long before P. T. Barnum, the great showman lived and it has been practical ever since. When a man is tired of a, woman, he is tired sure enough and when a woman is tired of a man,—well, he had better leave her neighborhood forthwith, if not soonor. Travelling on land suits some people and travelling on water suits some others. That is why people, who yoke up should ascertain each other's tastes and habits and find out if they are congenial. A person, who rears and takes care of a family in a respectable manner is well educated, even though that person may not have seen inside of a school-house. They say prices are coming down and still some people are expecting wages to remain up. They may do so, but thousands of people must remain idle in order to bring this about. The unfortunate part about the busness is that people, who die are not aware of the attention being accorded their remains. In life, they may not have attracted the attention of even a street urethin. Thousands of people believe that they die only when their time comes and thousands of others, who went the way of all the earth think that they went out of this life a long time before theirs came. Some people seem to think that they were born only to have a good time and some others think that they were brought into this world only for sow and trouble for they are having more than their share of both. Some children are disposed to listen to the advice of the good timers and to look with disdain upon the warnings of their parents, who have their true interest at heart. Thousands of people in this country have never learned the meaning of "mother-wit sense" sometimes called "horse-sense," and they never will learn the meaning of these designations until they have suffered and "at most died" as the result of their indirections. People, who like good whiskey are having a hard time of it now and people who like good water are equally embarrassed in their effort to obtain it. Good whiskey and good water are "sky-high," when it comes to paying the price asked for it. --- The people, in Africa are calling for the people of America to come over and escape the high cost of living. Food is free, clothing not necessarily worn and women are plentiful. Still, these men prefer to remain in this country with the women, who wear long and short skirts and other expensive clothes. Opposition has developed in the House Committee on Ways and Means with reference to the Liberian loan. This is just as we expected. The United States is morally bound to grant this loan and this has been emphasized by the action of President Warren G. Harding and Secretary of State, William H. Hughes. We hope that it may pass both branches of the Congress but it will require Herculean efforts on the part of the Chief Executive of the Nation to bring this about. --- Congressman Martin C. Angorge, Republican congressman from the 21st New York Congressional District has attracted the attention of the country by the naming of Emile Treville Holley, a seventeen year old freshman of the College of the City of New York for appointment as midshipman at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis Maryland. The candidate named ranks high and the universal opinion among the right-thinking people of the country is that he may meet the tests to which he is to be subjected in order to enter this great institution.

Bragg, Secretary begun the task of expounding the law. He has recently discovered that Homo Eilith Root, one of the ablest international lawyers in the world and Hon. Charles Evans Hughes, an authority upon constitutional questions were both wrong in handling the Four Pact Treaty, which was ratified by the United States Senate as is provided in the Constitution of the United States. Our understanding always has been that a treaty duly ratified by the United States Senate was binding upon both branches of the Congress and both were morally and legally bound to enact the necessary legislation to carry its provisions into effect. The result of this would be to bring about a virtual confirmation by both branches. A BIG JOB. The Abyssinian Baptist Church under the able leadership of Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell, who averted a split in this body has broken ground for a church building on 138th Street New York; the cost of which is estimated at ($300 000) three hundred thousand dollars. The building will be of local stone and will be trimmed with, cast stone. It will seat two thousand people and will have another building for a Community House. The seating capacity of the church will be two thousand. If the colored people of New York will rally and pay this amount for a new church office, it will be an "eye opener" for colored people in the other parts of the country. The interest charges at six per cent on this amount of money is eighteen thousand dollars per year or fifteen hundred dollars per month. The old church stole was sold for $107,500. This amount will reduce the cost of the new structure by that amount. When colored folks have the nerve to risk such an undertaking, they are ready to sour in the realm of finance. Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell is one of the most popular divines in the country. Y. W. C. A. NOTES "How to keep the Sabbath" was the subject of the very interesting address made by Mr. W. D. Kirby at Vespera on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Kirby briefly reviewed how man had departed from the sacredness of the Mosaic Sabbath to the irrevelant regard of the Sabbath of today. He showed how great a responsibility for changing the attitude of the present age reacts upon the women, since they shaped the policy of the home and largely of the church. This very timely and thoughtful address on a question that is giving grave concern to the Christian organizations today was greatly enjoyed by all. On Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, a special program will be presented under the auspices of Mrs. Virginia Minor. Come and bring a friend with you. The Religious Education committee is doing excellent work under the chairmanship of Mrs. Susie Williams and has planned some very interesting programs for our Vesper services. On Good Friday evening 8:30 o'clock the Just Us Club will render a sacred program at the "Y" The club extends a cordial invitation to the public to come and enjoy this program. The Choral club will render a special musical program at the Vesper hour on Easter Sunday. Watch for full program next week. Our class in Physical, Recreation is doing excellent work. The members are enjoying the class work and we are hoping that as a result of this effort a definite program in recreation work can be planned for the fall and winter.. COLORED CITIZENS PRESENT VITAL FACTS TO COMMERCE CHAMBER IN JERSEY. Atlantic City, N. J., March 25.—On Friday evening, March 24th, a committee of leading colored citizens met the Chamber of Commerce in the first interracial meeting ever held with that body. The meeting was held in the auditorium of the Yacht Club. The Chamber entertained the visitors with a radio telephone concert connecting with the stations at Schonectady, N. Y. and Pittsburgh. After the concert the president of the Chamber, Mr. Samuel P. Leeds, introduced the colored visitors and turned the meeting over to them. Mr. Ben jamin G. Fitzgerald, the only colored member of the Chamber., was master of ceremonies. Mr. F. D. Francis, the first speaker, explained the purpose of the inter-rational meetings. He took occasion to drive home to the audience the utter folly of fostering antagonism. He mentioned concrete instances of humiliating experiences of the race in being segregated in local motion picture theatres and the consequent hatred that these things engendered. He told the members that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were every man's right and that when these are denied it spoils ultimate ruin for the nation. Rov. Jas. N. Deaver, Rector of St. Augustine Episcopal Church, spoke on "The Influence of the Church in the Community." Dr. Edward B. Terry vigorously attacked the rent-gouging landlords and spoke so eloquently on the unsantial living conditions among colored tenants that the mayor who was present asked the location of these houses in order that he might remedy these conditions. Mr. D. A. Balloy spoke for the West Indian Negro in the community and mentioned the fact that he is always identified with progressive things. Dr. W. E. Bruswell told of the work accomplished in the dental clinics in the public schools. Counsellor James A. Lightfoot spoke on the need of better accommodations for colored visitors to the resort; and how the proposed Million Dollar Hotel Fitzgerald will meet that need. This met with the hearty approval of the Chamber. The Oriole Glee Club, the resort's famous organization of colored singers under the expert direction of Prof. Bichard Walker rendered several selections and was encored heartily. FULTON NOTES.

ALSTON—In sad but loving remembrance of our devoted husband and father, Arthur E. Alston, who fell asleep in Jesus four years ago April 1, 1918. I stood beside your dying bed, As long as I could stay; It was so hard for me to stand, And see you fade away. Just four years you left us father, Never more your face to see, But I know that you are waiting, Waiting father dear for me. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. His Wife and Children EARL, PLUMMER, LENORA and LUCILE ALSTON.

Our revival closed Friday evening, with many precious souls waiting to follow the example of Christ by bapt ism.

GOOD ROADS. A report has just been issued by Highway Commissioner Coleman that "the highway funds have been cut in half" by the recent legislature. This report is totally misleading to those not fully informed. On account of an increase of about $250,000 in the mill tax for roads, the legislature appropriated from other funds $171,255 less than it gave roads in 1921. This gives roads in 1922 actually $80,000 more than in 1921, which comes from increase in mill tax instead of direct appropriation. Every one should know that the actual total amount available for 1922 road work is admitted to be more than Thirteen Million Dollars and $21,000,000 for the 2-year period—so why should anyone try to fool the public with misleading statements Why do the bond crowd persist in making so many ridiculous assertions—such as those they have made through their representatives, Gov Trinkle and Commissioner Coleman? And isn't it strange how suddenly that pair got together to try to foist a bond issue on the people of Virginia? Please get this into your local news papers and give it the widest publicity possible. Yours for GOOD ROADS, not bonds. J. SHEPPARD POTTS. Pres. Rural Road Improvement局 Mound Bayou, Miss., March 17, 1922 News Editor, The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir:—An important meeting of the directors of the Mound Bryon State Bank was held in their office on the 16th for the purpose of reorganizing the financial management of the bank. After a thorough investigation and consideration of the affairs of the bank the directors unanimously selected and requested Eugene P. Boose, Business Manager of the Farmers Co-operative Mercantile Company to be chairman of the finance committee to have full charge of the operation of the bank for the present year. The other members of the committee is made up of the following influential men of the community: D. A. Carr, Cashier; T. S. Morris, President; Orange Christmas, Jr., Chairman Board of Directors; Benjamin A. Green, Attorney. Immediate steps were taken to secure necessary funds for the operation of the bank from the War Finance Corporation which has the approval of the State Banking Department and the Agricultural Loan Agency of the War Finance Corporation. The Mound Bay on State Bank was organized in 1915 and if the financial center through which the business of the town and colony, composed entirely of Negroes, operate their farms and mercantile en terprises. The colony was started in 1887 by Isaiah T. Montgomery and his cousin, Benjamin T. Green and since 1906, Charles Banks formerly of Clarksdale Mississippi has given much of his time to the development of the community. It is expected that new life will be injected into the operation of the bank b y the organization of the finance committee, composed of young active farmers and business men, who will have the hearty support of the older people of the town and colony. The new order will bring together every morning for consultation the strongest combination of local influence and capital, and is calculated to stimulate and interest all of the local business enterprises, as well as outside friendly capital. Your co operation in giving publicity to the above information will be appre lated by our entire community. Yours truly. ISAIAH T. MONTGOMERY, Richard McCarty. C. F.

Richmond, Va., March 8, 1922. My Dear Brethron:— The Virginia Missionary Baptist Convention will hold its Fifty-fifth Annual Session with the Loyal Street Church, Danville, Va., Rev. C. T. Murry B. D., pastor; Wednesday May the tenth through Sunday, the 14th. The Pastors and Churches of Danville are making every necessary preparation to make this session a mountain top one from point of entertainment. Permit me to thank you for the very splendid way in which you responded to the semi-annual session assembled for the purpose of dedicating our new Administration Hall. Through your loyalty, this effort was a glorious success, assembling representatives from seven State Conventions and placing on the table four thousand dollars, which were greatly needed to put the finishing touches on the new building and pay off some contracts already due. This has been a distinct and most credible achievement for Colored Baptists particularly and the cause of Christian Education generally. This building cost us considerably more than one hundred thousand dollars. We paid while it was in course of credit more than fifty thousand dollars. We still owe about fifty thousand on it. This tells you how necessary it is for every church and individual to do their best for the coming session. Every church should aim to bring for all conventional purposes not less than one dollar for each member you carry on your roll. Let our business and professional men, who must of necessity live by the principles which we teach, make special contribution. All individual contributions will be listed in the minutes separately. There are in our Foreign Mission Treasury, four thousand dollars. We have promised you as soon as we have received five thousand dollars to begin some special work in Africa to the credit of our convention. Don't fail to send a large sum for Foreign Missions and any money you may have idle for this purpose in your Church, District Conventions or Associations. The good people of Virginia should be known in Africa. It is our desire that a large number of business, professional men and laymen generally shall attend the conventions and take a larger hand in the affairs of the denomination; thus we have arranged for a laymen's hour Friday morning and a business and professional men's conference Friday afternoon. May 12. At these periods the program will be turned over to our laymen. Let a large number of laymen come; the King's Business calls for you. Brethren these are peculiar times, the winds are contrary and the waves lash in terrible fury against our back. Every man to his oars and with mighty prayer breath and desperate bath strokes, let us drive on in the name of Him who said, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the ages." Let this holy strife not cease until our oppressed and suffering people are extricated from the throes of death an danger of illiteracy, poverty and dissention and lifted to those lofty heights, when we can present to our great God, a peculiar people thoroughly leavened to the lump with Christian graces, strong in solidarity for truth and righteousness, filled with a divine intelligence with great institutions standing for God and His righteousness, ready to minister with efficient hand to every known human need. If you cannot be present in Dawville mall your contribution to the president not later than May 3. Yours for a great session. T.J.KING, President. ATTENTION, CITIZENS!

BUYING MOVEMENT IS ON The cost of living is going to rise again; the period of price declines that began more than a year ago is practically ended in the judgment of officials of those branches of the Government who study economic causes and influences. Rising wholesale prices supply the evidence upon which the officials base their judgment of what the next few months will bring to consumers throughout the entire country. Food, clothing and other necessities will cost more during April, May and June now. Rents are going down in the face of a movement that has the earmarks of a nationwide building boom. Construction is being undertaken at the rate of more than $200,000,000 a month in this—the dull season for contractors. Rising prices, according to experts, mean general prosperity and increased buying. There are indications that greater buying has begun in some sections. Wholesale prices, which anticipate the level of retail prices, began to rise in January. In February wholesale prices increased 2 per cent. Increases were recorded for food, clothing and other commodities. Wholesale prices now are approximately 50 per cent above the level of 1913. Some officials believe the rise in February marks the beginning of a new national price era. In short, it is being explained that from now all price comparison must be made on the basis of prices last November instead of before the war. To the average consumer this means that prices attack their lowest level last autumn. In December and November the level of wholesale prices stood at 49 per cent above the pre-war level. That is the lowest point wholesale prices have reached since before the United States entered the war. Throughout 1917, 1919 and most of 1920 prices were on the up grade. The increase ranged around 2 per cent a month. Then began the nationwide strike of buyers. Merchants found themselves unable to dispose of vast stocks they had purchased in expectation of a continued boom in buying. At prices often below cost these goods were ding on the market. Since 1920 buying has been on a most meager scale. Only the most urgent necessities have been purchased with the demand comparatively small. Buyers feared to stock up less prices so still lower. Now is the time to buy for those who are waiting for bottom prices, meet Government officials believe. During April prices probably will be 1 or 2 per cent higher than at present. This applies to retail prices as well as whole sale. Retail prices decreased slightly during February but in the next thirty days they must rise to come into line with rising wholesale quotations. $2.00 sent to this office will place The Planet in your home Quality and Service In ELECTRIC SHOE REPAIRING at the Lowest Possible Prices.

THE COMPANY, Atlanta, Georgia FAUTIFIER, nn ointment for dark, sallow skins, POUR Book Chat by Mary White Ovington Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. (By Stephen Graham, Published by The Macmillan Co., New York. Price $2.00. Postage 10 Cents Extra. Few Americans realize how interesting the Negro question in the United State is to the English. They want to learn about it, they come over here and write about it. No one of them has written so keen a book as Fannie Kemble's "Two Years on a Georgian Plantation," published nearly a hundred years ago. Fannie Kemble, the actress married a slave holder and came from free England to enslaved Georgia. She could not stand it and from the frank way in which she wrote I imagine the white South could not stand her, Stephen Graham has no such intimate knowledge as Faunio Kemble possessed, but he did his best while in America to see conditions as they really exist; and his many years of travel among other peoples—he has written a number of books upon Russia—makes him a wise and well-balanced observer. Some of the readers of Book Chat doubtless met him when he was collecting material for "The Soul of John Brown", a striking looking man with reddish hair worn a trifle long and gentle though strong face. Religious by the best sense of the word, he believes that "only Christianity can save color." But there is something of the militant Christian about him when he tells us that "there is such a thing as the wrath of God, and it is not incompatible with Divine Fatherhood and all merciful Presidence," John Brown is his hero and he ends his book by saying: "John Brown himself if he should reappear would not be sweetened by what he saw happening in the world. His soul goes marching on, but it is still the soul of vengeance and wrath. To prepare for the writing of this book Stephen Graham spent some time in New York—we at the N. A. A. C. P. we were fortunate in being able to give him material—and then started in his travels. He went into seven southern states. He saw the industries at New Port News, talked with black riveters and chippers, and to quote his own words, "went up the James River to Jamestown and on to Richmond, the fine capital of the old Dominion. I travelled to Lynchburg and its tobacco industries, went from thence to "sober" Knoxville investigating the race riot there and the attitude of Tennessee From Knoxville I went to Chattanooga and Birmingham in each of which great steel centres I met the leading Negroes and investigated conditions. I was at Atlanta and walked across Georgia to the sea, following Sherman. A three-hundred mile walk through the cotton fields and forests of Georgia From Savannah I went to Brunswick and Jacksonville, thence to Pensacola and on from Florida to New Orleans and the Gulf plantations. I journeyed up the Mississippi on a river steamer, stayed at the Negro city of Mound Bayon, was at Vicksburg and Greenville and Memphis and then repaired once more to the contrasting North." The most picturesque part of this trip was the tramp through Georgia. No one else used the road forwalking, and Mr. Graham was accounted passing strange. But his ready spirit of good fellowship won confidence and he found out much concerning Sherman's match from the oldest inhabitants and much regarding the Georgia of today from his own observations. His summing up is not flattering. "Rural Georgia is not very much better today than it was in slavery days." In the cities he not leading men of the colored race, men who must he interesting to read what he wrote. He is generous in his estimates of the black man, kindly but with a sense of humor. The further South he drops the more he sees the Negro neglected, his opportunities lessened. He is shocked that a library, bearing Carnegie's name, admits no colored reader. The lack of public schooling amazes him. He did not visit Hampton though he was as near it as Norfolk, not because he doubted its good work, but because he wanted to find his impressions on the poorer schools, on what was usual not what was occasional. It is this spirit that makes his book so different from that of Archer or Maurice Evans; he was not hoodwinked by the sight of philanthropy. While kindly toward the Negro he is unsparing in his condemnation of the white southerner, yet he recognizes that he exists inevitably, the sure result of slavery. "You can classify all faces into those who say please and those who do not and the children of the slave owners are mostly in the sec and category. Unqualified mastership; indifference to dirt and misery in the servant's class; callous disregard of their pain, or pleasure taken in their pain; **** all these terrible sins or sinful conditions are visted on the third and fourth generation of those who hate, though as must always be said: God's mercy is shown to thousands of them that love him and keep his ctern al commandments." There are four entertaining pages, humorous yet tragic of the fourteen points of the south erner's creed. I give a few. 1. "We understand the niggers and they like us. When they go North they are crazy till they get back to us. 4. The nigger is all right as long as he is kept in his place. You must make him keep his distance. If once you are familiar with him you are lost. 5. The nigger is an animal. Like the animals he is full of lust. Like the animals, also, he does not feel pain. When he is burned it is not the same as a white man burning." 14. Justice? Well, you ask any nigger which he'd prefer, a Southern court of justice and a Southern judge or a Northern one. He would always prefer the Southern one because in the south we understand him. And we're very fond of them and they of us. We get on very well together." Southern belief Graham says, rarely steps out of this codified expression of thought. Get into conversation with a Southerner and you will almost always be able to refer his talk to 1 or 16 or some other point of this creed. The Soul of John Brown" is a most readable book. We hope for it many readers, both in this country and in England. AMERICANS IN GERMANY REQUEST OF ALLIES. Versalles Treaty Has No Connection With America's Action in Matter. Washington.—The request of the United States that she be reimbursed for the $250,000,000 which she has ex pended to maintain soldiers on the Rhino since the conclusion of peace has started an uprue in Europe. With one accord the leading allied powers have protested they were under no obli gations to reimburse the United States for the cost of maintaining her soldiers in Germany, inasmuch as she did not agree to the Treaty of Versailles. With one accord they insist that she look to Germany for payment. The comments in British newspapers and by British leaders are very caustic, representing the United States as be ing grasping and mercenary and trying to obtain something to which she legal has no right. French comment goes even farther, in that it asserts that America's claims are an "unfriendly act." These protests and comments are tak en up, repeated and approved by the Democratic press of this country, which as usual, finds it easier to agree and sympathize with European critics of America than to stand up for Americanism. Democratic newspapers join in the European chorus to the effect that, inasmuch as the United States did not ratify the Treaty of Ver sailies it can not expect to be reimbursed for the cost of maintaining troops on the Rhine. In point of fact and the official records these statements are grossly and absolutely untrue. The maintenance of American soldiers on the Rhine have nothing at all, to do with the Ver sailies treaty. Under the terms of the Versailles treaty the allied powers were to main-tain armed forces in German territory in order to see that the German government obeyed the terms of the treaty Under the terms of the treaty Germany was to pay the allies for the cost of maintaining these troops on her soil. This was exactly what Germany exacted of France following the France Prussian war. The United States did not ratify the Versailles treaty. Therefore, it was of not obligated to maintain troops in Germany. It did not and has not maintained troops in Germany by reason of any commitments under the treaty. It has maintained troops in Germany at the specific and urgent request of the allied powers, particularly the British and French governments, which argued that in event the United States withdrew her troops from the Rhine it would be taken as evidence the United States had broken with the allies and would encourage the German government to resist the terms of the treaty and theroby cause trouble to France. Belgium and Great Britain. In other words, the United States has maintained armed forces on the Rhine by virtue of a "gentleman's agreement" between this country and the allied powers and as an especial favor to them. In consideration of the United States doing this the allied powers agreed upon their part to see to it the United States was reimbursed for the cost of maintaining these troops. This government has had no thought there would be any repudiation of this agreement upon the part of Great Britain and France until recently, when it became known these nations, in common with other allies, were taking steps that would deprive the United States of such reimbursement. Then it was that the United States made a formal deand for payment of the costs of maintaining her forces. The argument that she should look to Germany is piffle, because she has not maintained her troops on the Rhine at the request of Germany and has no agreement with Germany concerning such occupation. For Great Britain, France and other allies now to claim the United States is not entitled to reimbursement because she did not sign the Treaty of Versailles is plain falsification of the facts, in a very disreputable effort to repudiate an honest agreement made at their request for the purpose of protecting their interests. RIOTING FISH MEN BUILN BIG $50,000 PLANT. Bullets and Stones Fly, Driving People From Seaside Park, N. J. DRANK FROM HOME STILL Seaside Park, N. J., March 21—This town is recovering tonight from the effects of a series of riots in which fish pound laborers, filled with home-made hooch and an idea that they were underpaid, smashed windows with bullets and stones, drove a score of families from their homes and wound up by setting fire to a $50,000 refrigerating plant. Seventeen men arrested at dawn to day by Sheriff Joseph L. Holman and his deputies are being held in the jail at Toms River on charges of arson and conspiracy. Calls for help were sent to every town within thirty miles. Deputy Sheriffs Albert Brown on Toms River and Richard Riley of Lakewood organized bands of special deputies and armed them and hurried to this place in auto mobiles. When they reached here the refrigerating plant, owned by J. L. Earthal, in flames. The town was in danger of being wiped out but voluntee fire companies, aided by a shift of the wind were able to put the fire under control. According to Sheriff Holman the trouble started over a demand by the laborers for an increase in pay. They said they were brought here under a promise of $50 a month and board, find inking when they arrived that they would get only $40 and board.

In an hour they were fighting among themselves and with every one who went'near them. Revolver firing was heard from a shanty in which they were gathered at 10 o'clock last night and about an hour later they rushed the refrigerating plant, chased out the watchman and started a fire. The plant was filled with nets and boats and the paraphernalia of the fish industry. The flames gained headway and drove the rioters out of the building and by the light of the fire they danced about the place shooting into the air or at the windows of buildings near by. The fishermen quit town when they heard the Sheriff's automobile approaching. They retreated to the sand hills to the south and remained there until dawn Sheriff Holman and his men watching from a distance, saw them return to their shanties a little after dawn and surrounded them. They surrendered without fighting. Their still was seized at the same time. The seventeen prisoners were arraigned before Recorder Arthur C. King at Tom's River later today. All were hold without ball for the Grand Jury. Tonight it was reported that precautions would be taken along the coast to prevent similar trouble at other fish eries. (N. Y. Herald March 22, 1922.)

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