WE SERVE INFORMATION AUDIENCE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Liberty VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 27 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS HOLDS A GREAT SESSION WASHINGTON, D. C., M. Y. N. "We believe in the intellectual, moral and spiritual unity of mankind," declared the National Race Congress in its seventh annual session which closed here with an executive session Saturday. "and race similarities are not race differences, are fundamental eternal and inseparable," continued the declaration. "Apparent distinctions are superficial, differences are but separate emergencies from our common background of human nature. To accept the doctrine of indefelible difference which separates us from the rest of mankind would be insult to our own soul and dishonor God who made us in His own image." AN AFFIRMATIVE RIGHT "We note with apprehension the prevailing tendency to limit the political rights and opportunities of the race. We affirm our right to vote, and to be voted for, to hold office, elective or appointive, in all sections of the country without discrimination on account of race or color. Any practice or policy which deprives us of this right violates the fundamental principles of democracy and makes the Constitution of the United States a scrap of paper." AN INTERESTING MEETING The Congress held one of the most interesting meetings in its history and was far reaching. A full report of the Matthew Bullock case was made, which was directly under the Association, and the entire expense was met by the Association, the case being directed by President W. H. Jermagin, of Washington, D. C. "Race Unity" was the keynote of all the addresses delivered, and the saving of Matthew Bullock from the lynchers was but one example of what the Negro could do united. The father of the young man was loud in his praise of the organization. The Congress was addressed by Congressman Martin B. Ansorge, of New York, the Congressman who had appointed a young cooped man to the Naval Academy. He declared that while he had been severely criticised by the press he had no apology to offer, for he felt that he had discharged his duty, and it was not the payment of a political pledge. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION The address of Solomon J. Platzea from South Africa was an eye-opener, the graphically described condition in South Africa. In speaking of our Southern States by way of comparison he said, "The whites of the Southern States, who are said to be the worst Negro-haters in the world, will not permit you to eat in their hotels, but they have no objection to you building your own hotels and eating with your own people. In South Africa they will not have us in their hotels nor will they permit us to build hotels of our own, and if we want to eat at all we must be satisfied to toil in their kitchens and lick their pans." Dr. W. H. Jernaina was elected president for another term, and Dr. A. C. Garner, of New York, vice-president. --- A Card of Thanks. Mrs. Benjamin Jackson of 106 12 2 B.

PRICE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENTS TEXANS STAGE BRUTAL LYNCHING ORGY AT KIRVIN Taken from Jell by Crowd and Then. Tied to Seat of a Cultivator (By United Press.) Kirvin, Tex., May 6—Three negroes were burned here at dawn for attacking and murdering Eula Ausley, pretty seventeen-year-old schoolgirl whose body was found near here mutilated by thirty stab wounds. Tied to the seat of a cultivator, placed in the center of the city square here, the three negroes met their death before a mob of 100. "Shap, Terry, twenty-six, who was captured after a thirty-six hour chase with blood-hounds, was the first to be burned. He was tied to the seat of the cultivator after he is alleged to have made a confession. Oil was poured on his body and a match struck. As the flames mounted about his body, Terry shouted 'Oh, Lord, I comin'." Moss Jones, forty-four, and John Cornish, nineteen, were the other negroes burned. This was after Terry had been ignited and shouted "Burn Jones and John Cornish—they are as guilty as I am." Terry's chant, "Oh, Lord, I am couring, rose higher and higher as the flames leaped. Then the body was completely saturated with kerosine. Terry's chant died away. Jones was then roped and dragged over the plow. Wood was thrown on. In about six minutes he died. John Cornish was lastood and dragged over the plow. Again more fuel was added and the three bodies were burned to a crise. Thrilling Manhunt The capture of three negroes followed the most thrilling manhunt in Texas' history. Farmers and businessmen of three countries began early Friday morning to run down the slayers of the white girl. With a clue from another negro that "Snag" Terry was guilty, creek bottoms and hills were beaten back and forth all day. Terry was captured about 5:30 Friday afternoon, tide and a halt miles south of Wortham. News of the capture spread rapidly and within an hour a large crowd had gathered about the jail. The negro was slipped out and taken to Fairfield, where he was placed in the county jail. Under severe questioning the negro contested and implicated the other two negroes at Kirwin. Jones and Cornish were arrested and brought to Fairfield. No sooner than they had been placed behind the bars a mole of close to 200 had gathered and stormed the jail. The guard was quickly overpowered, and the three negroes were taken and placed in automobile. 100 Autos Lead Parade. More than 100 automobiles led the paddle back to Kirwin, a distance of about thirtieth miles. The cavalcade arrived in Kivon on 4 A.M. and circled the square. A plow was placed in the square. A plow was placed in the wood was on hand for the time the sections were taken out of the entrance. Jerry was brought to the plow and strained and chained to the entrance. He was then imitated and cried out and kissed the plow over him. The cried out to him the other two theories and tasted smiling as the plow was applauded. Jones and Cormack did not confess to participation in the censure. They were also imitated before being lauded. White Men Held Farnett, Tex. May 6.

Kirvin, Tex., May 6.—Three negroes were burned here at dawn for attacking and murdering Eula Ausley, pretty seventeen-year-old schoolgirl whose body was found near here mutilated by thirty stab wounds. Tied to the seat of a cultivator, placed in the center of the city square here, the three negroes met their death before a mob of 100. "Snap Terry, twenty-six, who was captured after a thirty-six hour chase with bloodhounds, was the first to be burned. He was tied to the seat of the cultivator after he is alleged to have made a confession. Oil was poured on his body and a match struck. As the flames mounted about his body, Terry shouted: "Oh, Lord, I'm coming." Mose Jones, forty-four, and John Cornish, nineteen, were the other negroes burned. This was after Terry had been ignited and shouted "Burn Jones and John Cornish—they are as guilty as I am." Terry's chant, "Oh, Lord, I am courning," rose higher and higher as the flames leaped. Then his body was completely saturated with kerosine. Terry's chant died away. Jones was then roped and dragged over the plow. Wood was thrown on. In about six minutes he died. John Cornish was lassoed and dragged on to the fire. Again more fuel was added and the three bodies were burned to a crisp. **Thrilling Manhunt** The capture of three negroes followed the most thrilling manhunt in Texas' history. Farmers and business men of three counties began early Friday morning to run down the slayers of the white girl. With a clue from another negro that "Snap" Terry was guilty, creek bottoms and hills were beaten back and forth all day. Terry was captured about 5:30 Friday afternoon, five and a half miles south of Wortham. News of the capture spread rapidly and within an hour a large crowd had gathered about the jail. The negro was slipped out and taken to Fairfield, where he was placed in the county jail. Under severe questioning the negro confessed and implicated the other two negroes at Kirvin. Jones and Cornish were arrested and brought to Fairfield. No sooner than they had been placed behind the bars, a mob of close to 400 had gathered and stormed the jail. The guard was quickly overpowered, and the three negroes were taken and placed in automobiles. 100 Autos Lead Parade. More than too automobiles led the parade back to Kirvin, a distance of about thirteen miles. The cavalcade arrived in Kirvin about 4 A.M. and circled the square. A plow was placed in the square. A large amount of wood was on hand by the time the negroes were taken out of the automobiles. Terry was first strength to the plow and strapped and chained to the iron seat. He was then mutilated and emu oil and kerosene poured over him. He cried out to burn the other two negroes and started singing as the match was applied. Jones and Cornish did not confess to participation in the crime. They were also mutilated before being burned. White Men Held. Fairfield, Tex., May 6.—Two white men are being held in jail here in connection with the killing of Eula Ausley at Kirvin, for which three negroes were burned here this morning, according to Shriff Mayo. Tracks leading from the scene of the murder to the home of the two men—brothers—and fitting the shoes they wore, were found, Mayo said. One of the men was captured yesterday and th second surrendered at the jail after the mob left here last night with the negroes. FOURTH NEGRO LYNCHED RANGERS GO TO SCENE Texas County Pays Slight Attention to Reprisal Threats. Fort Worth, Tex., May 8—Free stone county, where four negroes have been lynched since the skating of Eula Ausley, seventeen-year old white girl, was quiet tonight, although reports were circulated again to-day that negroes had made threats to aavege the deaths. Dispatches said residents of the county apparently were showing little concern over the threats. The body of the fourth negro was found hanging to a tree to-day near (Continued on Third Page.)

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... 6.0 Forsight' Subscriptions ..... 2.50 Some people pray one way and act another. This is a world of "ups and downs," mostly "downs." People who die young miss some pleasure and more trouble. 'We can succeed if we "hold out and prove faithful to the end." Telling the truth is an asset; telling the falshood is a liability. Days are getting longer and people are sleeping longer, too. You can eat too much, just the same as you can drink too much. You cannot accomplish anything in this life without making enemies. We pray often but we do not all Hye in accordance with our prayers. A lovable disposition is an asset which we should all seek to possess. Some people would get along much better if they would pray less and do right more. Some people seem to think that it is their bounden duty to make other people miserable. Colored people are all right, although some white folks think that they are all wrong. Some people complain during adversity and they grumble in the midst of prosperity. A good woman in a home is a blessing. A bad woman in the same place is a curse. Hungry children produce hungrier chieves. Feed the children and lessen the number of thieves. Preachers need money and want luxuries just like other people. If you do not believe it, try them. You need not worry about spending money, but you should devote your time to saving money. It is essentially necessary for the Republicans, both white and colored, to come together for united action. Women are all right in their proper places and men are all right, too, when they occupy a similar position. Some white people, who may be antagonistic to us at one time may be friendly towards us at another. Irishmen are fighting each other now. In this respect, there is no difference between the Irishman and the Negro. Sometimes we feel that our troubles are more than we can bear, but when they are over, we are still bearing them. Colored men are branching out in the professions. We hope and pray that more of them will branch out in business. Make friends with the better class of white folks. The time will come when you will need their aid and value their friendship. Some people promise to meet us in lifeaven, but from the way they are conducting themselves, they will never get there. People who live right will, die the same way. Some people who live wrong though, die right. How can you account for that? Some people pray for children and when they get them, they have more trouble than they have ever experienced during their lives. The troubles of this world are sometimes staggering and in the midst of them, some people are saying, "Don't let it worry you." When a person goes up, that person will come down, if only in a graveyard. This should not prevent a person from going upward. Some people who lived well on nine dollars per week are having the most difficult time of their lives in making ends meet now on twenty dollars per week. Quarrelsome people please nobody, not even themselves; yet most of us are quarrelsome at times, especially if we are bound by the bonds of matrimony. The good God tried Job with affliction. If he had lived in this day and time, we are of the opinion that He would have tried him with an automobile. Buying an automobile is the cheapest part of the business. The running of the machine will make any ordinary citizen a candidate for the poor-house. You can get into a cemetery without half trying, but you cannot get into a good government position even though you work yourself almost to death in trying to secure it. --- There are thousands of religious leaders, who profess to speak for God despite the fact that the Holy Bible is conceded to contain direct utterances from Him. The electric chair possesses its hideousness and is regarded by some as an instrument of torture, but its failure to deter murderers has been one of the surprising things of this decade. President Harding seems to know his own mind and he does not fail to let other people know his views upon any question. He meets an issue squarely. This is a trait that we admire even though we do not always agree with him. Colored people are reading newspapers published by colored men and are paying their subscriptions promptly. We have on our lists some of the best people in the world in this respect. We have had though some of the other kind and they owe us now. After reading that horrible happening in Texas, where three colored men were burned at the stake, we have become convinced that the Texans are doing all in their power to bring about the passage of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. The "good-for-nothing" Negro is a handicap to racial progress. We are largely responsible for their condition and a change will not take place until we look after the cradle instead of endeavoring to reform the lawless elements, who have been patrons of our jails and penitentiaries. The colored people are much wrought up over present day conditions and the evident disposition of the leaders of both political parties not to accord to colored citizens political recognition in the matter of appointment to office. His Excellency, Warren G. Harding, President THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA of the United States is puzzled as to what to do with this embarrassing situation. With the tens of thousands of white governmental jobs, he finds a radical antagonism to the appointment of colored men to office. The simple rule is to accord to all men proper recognition. Equal and exact justice should be accorded and we hope to live long enough to see this equal and exact justice accorded to our people. THAT HORRIBLE STAKE BURNING. The State of Texas will never be able to lay claim to civilization, much less to Christianity, so long as it permits the burning at the stake of human beings in violation of the Constitution of the United States and in the repudiation of every doctrine of Christianity. In the flandishness of the punishment the heinousness of the crime committed is lost. The men guilty of this crime of mutilation and burning proved beyond a shadow of the doubt that they were as low in the scale of human bestiality as the men they slow. There is another view-point from which to regard this outlandish crime committed or alleged to have been committed by the victims and the crime known to have been committed by the lynchers. The latter were doing all in their power to bring about the enactment of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill, now being pressed for passage by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What more potent argument could be advanced in its favor than this outburst of mob violence May 6, 1922, at Kiryin, Texas? We cannot conceive upon what ground any statesman can base his opposition to this humane measure in view of this floundish exhibition in Texas of human deprivacy. Will the murderers of these four colored citizens be punished? To ask the question is to answer it. These men were certain of conviction in any court of law in Texas. Even a colored jury would in all probability have meted legal punishment to them, for colored people are logically intolerant to men of their race, who commit these kinds of crimes. Their commission reflects upon the colored people generally and makes the roads of life unusually rough for all. A black face becomes a symbol of crime in the neighborhood and this is enough to cause a reaction against these kinds of criminals. But some day and somehow, God will bring about a change and right and justice will be triumphant in all of this land. Lynch-law must go! N. A. A. C. P., SPRING DRIVE OPENS MONDAY, APRIL 1WENTY-FOURTH. Culminates in Anti-Lynching Conference in Newark, June 18-23. "Lynch Law Must Go," is Slogan. "Lynch Law Must Go," is the slogan of the Spring Drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, opening Monday, April 24th, and culminating in an anti-lynching conference in Newark, N. J., from June 18 to 28. The entire weight of the Association's forces, throughout the United States, is to be applied in an organized pressure toward the enactment by the Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, already passed by the House of Representatives. There is no doubt felt in the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P., that President Harding will sign the measure if and when the Senate enacts it. In fact, the President's signature is looked upon as a foregone conclusion. The N. A. A. C. P., campaign on the Dyer Bill has already begun in two states, Michigan and New Jersey, where local elections are made to hinge on that issue. Colored voters and the press throughout the country are being asked to make it clear that the Republican Party will be held responsible for non-performers of its duty and its pledge to pass some such legislation as the Dyer Bill. SOUTHERN BRANCHES ACTIVE. Southern branches are especially active in the N. A. A. C. P., drive this year, among them being the branches in Houston, El Paso, Corpus Christi and Dallas, Texas. Houston has undertaken to reorganize the branches in Texas that became dormant at the time of the assault on John R. Shillady. New Orleans, La., branch is in the midst of a canvass for 5,000 members and Shreveport has also vigorously entered the drive. Most of the branches in Florida and many Arkansas branches have made their preparations to start at the word "Go." To timidity is being shown by your south side, the method of their campaign, Houston placing window crads in the homes of their members, inscribed with the words: "This Family 100 per cent. Members N. A. A. C. P." The branch in the national capital, Washington, D. C., has set itself the largest quota, seeking to obtain 25,000 members, and Chicago and New York follow with quotas of 10,000 each. Great interest is being shown among California branches, Los Angeles preparing itself to reach its quota of 5,000 members. MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE PASSES ANTI-LYNCHING RESOLVE. Trotter Gets Over $600 Purse at Golden Testimonial. Boston, Mass., April 25, 1922.—Yesterday the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed the antilynching resolution petitioned for by the National League of Colored Americans for Equal Rights, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president, which calls on the United States Senate and its judicial committee to enact Federal legislation against lynching. A delegation of the League headed by Sec. William Monroe Trotter, sat in the gallows and represented Representatives Meyers and Kidder, after the vote. The Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. petitioned each member of the House for the resolution evincing a spirit of co-operation. The passage is of special significance, as Senator Lodge is the Republican leader of the Senate. The presentation of a purse of gold to William Monroe Trotter in recognition of his services to the cause of rights for his race at his half-century mark was a notable event. Over $600.00 had been gathered by the committee from many States. Invocation was by Rev. Leroy Ferguson, piano solo by Mrs. Frederick Smith, presiding officer's remarks by B. W. Swan, chairman of committee. Mr. Trotter Washington riot of 1903 had church, opened Trotter's career and did great good by notifying the white world the race did not all believe in submission. Remarks were made by Cyril P. Butler, Esq., and by Clifton B. Carberry, managing editor of the Boston Post, Boston's greatest newspaper man, who went to school with Trotter and commended him as a great figure. George L. Ruhlin sang a tenor solo. William D. Brigham, a promoter white citizen, praised Trotter for devotion to the memory and principles of the Abolitionists. Mrs. A. J. Smitherman gave a dramatic recitation. Rev. W. D. McClane, secretary, declared his preference for Trotter in straits to segregationalists in riches. After a wonderful soprano solo by Mrs. Estelle Slater Jackson, of Seattle, Rev. J. E. Mason, of Livingstone College, gave the oration on Trotter's courage, persistence and continual activity. Then Edgar P. Benjamin, Esq., treasurer, presented the purse with evident emotion, saying the colored race must choose its own leaders. Editor Trotter made grateful response and reasserted his prince-ness. The sword were given Messrs. Trotter, Brigham, and Cumberby. Invocation was by Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Mrs. Lida Thomas Bright was organist, Prof. J. Schetton Pollen and Miss Johnny Lakey, accompanists. Mr. Trotter was showered with congratulations. Garage For Rent. Garage For Rent, rear 405 1-2 E. Clay Street. Aply to CRUTCHFIELD AND CO. 6 N. 11th Street Richmond, Va.

The State of Texas will never be able to la_y claim to civilization, much less to Christianity, so long as it permits the burning at the stake of human beings in violation of the Constitution of the United States and in the repudiation of every doctrine of Christianity. In the fiendishness of the punishment the heinousness of the crime committed is lost. The men guilty of this crime of mutilation and burning proved beyond a shadow of the doubt that they were as low in the scale of human bestiality as the men they slew. There is another view-point from which to regard this outlandish crime committed or alleged to have been committed by the victims and the crime known to have been committed by the lynchers. The latter were doing all in their power to bring about the enactment of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill, now being pressed for passage by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What more potent argument could be advanced in its favor than this outburst of mob violence May 6, 1922, at Kirvin, Texas? We cannot conceive upon what ground any statesman can base his opposition to this humane measure in view of this floundish exhibition in Texas of human deprivacy. Will the murderers of these four colored citizens be punished? To ask the question is to answer it. These men were certain of conviction in any court of law in Texas. Even a colored jury would in all probability have meted legal punishment to them, for colored people are logically intolerant to men of their race, who commit these kinds of crimes. Their commission reflects upon the colored people generally and makes the roads of life unusually rough for all. A black face becomes a symbol of crime in the neighborhood and this is enough to cause a reaction against these kinds of criminals. But some day and somehow, God will bring about a change and right and justice will be triumphant in all of this land. Lynch-law must go! N. A. A. C. P., SPRING DRIVE OPENS MONDAY, APRIL TWENTY-FOURTH. Culminates in Anti-Lynching Conference in Newark, June 18-23. "Lynch Law Must Go," is Slogan. "Lynch Law Must Go," is the slogan of the Spring Drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, opening Monday, April 24th, and culminating in an anti-lynchning conference in Newark, N. J., from June 18 to 23. The entire weight of the Association's forces, throughout the United States, is to be applied in an organized pressure toward the enactment by the Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, already passed by the House of Representatives. There is no doubt felt in the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P, that President Harding will sign the measure if and when the Senate enact it. In fact, the President's signature is looked upon as a foregone conclusion. The N. A. A. C. P, campaign on the Dyer Bill has already begun in two states, Michigan and New Jersey, where local elections are made to hinge on that issue. Colored voters and the press throughout th country are being asked to make it clear that the Republican Party will be held responsible for non-performers of its duty and its pledge to pass some such legislation as the Dyer Bill. SOUTHERN BRANCHES ACTIVE Southern branches are especially active in the N. A. A. C. P., drive this year, among them being the branches in Houston, El Paso, Corpus Christi and Dallas, Texas. Houston has undertaken to reorganize the branches in Texas that became dormant at the time of the assault on John R. Shillady. New Orleans, La., branch is in the midst of a canvass for 5,000 members and Shreveport has also vigorously entered the drive. Most of the branches in Florida and many Arkansas branches have made their preparations to start at the word "Go." to timidity is being shown by your southwest location in the method of their campaign, Houston placing window crads in the homes, of their members, inscribed with the words: "This Family 100 per cent. Members N. A. A. C. P." The branch in the national capital, Washington, D. C., has set itself the largest quota, seeking to obtain 25,000 members, and Chicago and New York follow with quotas of 10,000 each. Great interest is being shown among California branches, Los Angeles preparing itself to reach its quota of 5,000 members. MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE PASSES ANTI-LYNCHING RESOLVE. Trotter Gets Over $600 Purse at Golden Testimonial. Boston, Mass., April 25, 1922.—Yesterday the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed the antilynching resolution petitioned for by the National League of Colored Americans for Equal Rights, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president, which calls on the United States Senate and its primary committee to enact Federal legislation against lynching. A delegation of the League headed by Secretary William Monroe Rutter, sat in the gallery and thanked representatives Meyers and Kidder after the vote. The Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. petitioned each member of the House for the resolution, evincing a spirit of co-operation. The passage is of special significance, as Senator Lodge is the Republican leader of the Senate. The presentation of a purse of gold to William Monroe Trotter in recognition of his services to the cause of rights for his race at his half-century mark was a notable event. Over $600.00 had been gathered by the committee from many States. Invocation was by Rev. Leroy Ferguson, piano solo by Mrs. Frederick Smith, presiding officer's remarks by B. W. Swan, chairman of committee. Stedley the Trotter Washington riot of 1903 in that church, opened Trotter's career and did great good by notifying the white world the race did not all believe in submission. Remarks were made by Cyril F. Butler, Esq., and by Clifton B. Carberry, managing editor of the Boston Post, Boston's greatest newspaper man, who went to school with Trotter and commended him as a great figure. George L. Ruffin sang a tenor solo. William D. Brigham, a prominence white citizen, praised Trotter for devotion to the memory and principles of the Abolitionists. Mrs. A. J. Smitherman gave a dramatic recitation. Rev. W. D. McClane, secretary, declared his preference for Trotter in straits to segregationalists in riches. After a wonderful soprano solo by Mrs. Estelle Slater Jackson, of Seattle, Rev. J. E. Mason, of Livingstone College, gave the oration on Trotter's courage, persistence and continual activity. Then Edgar P. Benjamin, Esq., treasurer, presented the purse with evident emotion, saying the colored race must choose its own leaders. Editor Trotter made grateful and reasserted his principles. Risin said, "Miss Messrs. Trotter, Brigham and Carberry. Invocation was by Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Mrs. Lida Thomas Bright was organist. Prof. J. Shelton Pollen and Miss Johnny Lakey, accompanists. Mr. Trotter was showered with congratulations. GENGINE GERMAN MAUSER Latest Model 9 Shot Automatic 25 CAL. $12.95 Loan than half pro-war prices. 23 Cal. 14.50 shooter and cart- rider.

Gallagher, Bishop of Detroit of the Roman Catholic Church has denied the truth of the statement in my recent article that George Nurse had been excluded from the Roman Catholic parochial schools of the City of Detroit. The lady who is responsible for this information is Mrs. B. Ransbottom, chairman of a committee sent to investigate George Nurse, champion sixth grade speller of the Detroit Public Schools and his family; by the Public School Defense League of the City of Detroit, it having appeared that George had been cheated out of the city championship b y the judges of the spelling contest. Mrs. Ransbottom declares that Mr. Nurse, the mother of George, told her that "she tried to enter he rison in the Roman Catholic parochial schools when she came to Detroit but that she was told they did not have a school now where they could enter him, but would have a colored parochial school later. It was very gratifying to note that the Bishop objected to what he claimed was a fuse statement and to cite several parochial schools of his church where there were Colored students in attendance. But whether or not some one below the Bishop did exclude George from the Catholic schools seems now to be a mooted question, as Mrs. Ransbottom insists that the information she transmitted is correct just as it was given to her committee. It would have been much more gratifying if Bishop Gallagher had denied the charge that the Roman Catholic denomination intended to institute a "colored parochial school in the parish of St. Peter Claver Church, and that all of the colored students belonging to the church in the City of Detroit will be expected to attend that school." This is a point that Bishop Gallinger does not deny nor does he touch it, and is, after all; the big point we cled the attention of the public to in our former article. The writer of this arti ele knows of at least one graduate of a colored parochial school who was denied admission to the Roman Catholic high school in the city of Chicago, "because they had no colored high school" and he himself was refused admission to the Detroit University, a Roman Catholic institution when he attended law school in the City of Detroit. That institution, I understand, has opened its doors to colored students be cause of the splendid work done by our late good Roman Catholic friend, Mr. Edward Doyle, a Detroit millionaire who was chief owner of the Majes t building and he was investigating the Chicago case at the time of his death. It may be of interest to know that there are at least 2 colored Catholics in Detroit who acknowledge that the Roman Catholic church intends to erect a colored Catholic School. On one occasion Mr. Henry Sheppard said that the "school would be built," and on Sunday, April 16 our eminent fellow-townsman; Detective Wallace Williams said that "every parish was supposed to have a parochial school meaning by that, that one would be built for St. Peter Claver parish. It will be remembered that when this church was first opened as a Roman Catholic church it was called "St. Peter Claver Colored Catholic Church." Someone painted over the word "colored" with white paint and the sign was taken down and when it was returned it read, "St. Peter Claver Roman Catholic Church." The colored people of Michigan and many of their white friends including Mrs. Ransbottom and the Public School Defense League believe that segregation of the races by color has gone as far as it ought to go in this supposedly democratic community. Coming back to the George Nurse affair, I append hereto the affidavit of Mrs. Ransbottom which explains itself. I also talked with Mrs. Nurse, the mother of George, since the dental was published and she said she told the ladies "that when she came to Detroit she was told that they did not accept colored students in the Catholic schools and that the ladies must have misunderstood her. The affidavit of Mrs. Ransbottom follows: County of Putnam. BINA RANSBOTTOM, of the City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan being first only sworn, deposes and says that she is a member of the Public School Defense League of Michigan, and a Committee to visit the family of George Nurse, Champion Sixth Grade Speller of the City of Detr it. Deponet further says that she had a long conversation with the mother of the lad who volunteered the information that they were members of the Roman Catholic Church and when they came to Detroit they "sought to enter George Nurse in the parochial schools of that faith but were informed the church had no schools where they could attend now, but they would soon have a colored school where her children could attend. And further Deponet saith not. (Signed) MRS. BINA RANSBOTTOM. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 17th day of April, A. D. 1922. (Signed) Frank Logan, Notary Public, Putnam County, Ohio. It will be seen by the foregoing that the affidavit was sworn to in Putnam County, Ohio. Mrs. Ransbottom was visiting relatives in Columbus Grove, in that County at the time the affidavit was signed, and in a letter accompanying the affidavit, she says: "I took down notes of different things she told me and before I left I read them over to her and she said they were correct. But she did not say the Bishop had refused her; she just said when she went to put them in school they were refused because they were colored." It may be of interest also to know that Defective Wallace Williams above quoted, does not send his children to the parochial schools, but he claims it is because he cannot afford to pay the tuition fees. --- Read The Planet for information concerning the world's "doings" and watch our advertisements. May you will see the very thing you have been looking for. GOVERNOR TRINKLE GOVERNOR TRINKLE (Continued from First Page) just as wrong for the white man to en- crouch upon the rights of the colored people as it is for the colored man to encrouch upon the rights of the white man. THE LIMIT OF SAFETY There is a limit for both races, beyond which it is not safe for either race to go. The only hope in this world of living is Christianity. The sooner we all realize this, the better for all of us. The nations of the world may go to Genoa, and sit there any length of time, but the only way to have peace is through Christianity. It is a pleasure to me to see the fine churches, which you have. It is only by the putpit that is occupied by a caballered man, who helps you to occupy the high position you now occupy that you reach, the highest point of religious attainment. I learn that you have a most capable colored leader here. I am always interested in giving to the church. A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER I was glad to listen to the beautiful prayer delivered by my friend sitting to my left. How can you come to this church or to any church and listen to such beautiful songs and not be a better man or a better woman? As I sat and listened to these songs, in a way that only colored people can sing them it lifts me closer to heaven. I am glad to know that you are a church-going people, that you come here and asso-ate with the colored people of this community in this work. It wont be long before all of us will be gone. Have you ever thought what a short time we spend here in comparison to eternity, and how simple it is for us to risk eternal perdition in the face of such conditions? LIFTING A COLLECTION I like to see a colored church take up a collection. I like to see you get up in your seats and go up to the table and give if only a penny to the cause of the Master. You can't be a Christian, if you are not a liberal giver. There is no man a Christian, who will not give to the cause of Christianity. You want to patronize all the things that are for the Christian uplift of these people. There are some people who seem to think that all the world is against them that the white people are against them, but they are mistaken. THE SHADOW OF DEATH There is a young colored man in the penitentiary, who was to have been electrocuted a few weeks ago. A colored lawyer brought the case to my attention. I was in the Executive Office at midnight reading the record to see if the young man got justice. If men are guilty, then the punishment is to be meted to them. If they are not guilty then punishment must not be meted. I hope that the time will never come in Virginia when such an affair such as took place in Texas last week, will take place here. (He referred to the burning of three colored men at the stake in a town in Texas.) We should also see to it that the cause of these crimes by either white or colored citizens are not committed. THE ELIMINATION OF CRIME I wish to have it so that I can leave my door left open without thought of having crime committed. I hope that our people will aid in the apprehension of the criminals. I am asked if you Gov. Trinkle believe that you can enforce the prohibition laws. I replied. Yes, when the people want the prohibition laws enforced then they can be enforced. I am going to say to you again, I am not trying to preach to you a sermon. I am not a preacher. I am simply trying to say a few commonplace things that will make you a better citizen. Your duty should be to marry a good woman and to secure yourself a good home. It will make you a better citizen. A HAPPY COMMUNITY I was invited by Mr. Sands to go down to Fairfield and I saw a community where every man was buying a home and I never saw such radiance upon the countenances as I saw down there. One said that what we do down here is to help each other. When one is in trouble, one helps the other. The thing that will make a people respect you will not be the amount of money you have accumulated while you live, not the dress, but the amount of good you do one to the other. If we could just learn the lesson of brotherly love, of brotherly devotion and wipe out some of the jealousy that gets into our hearts and try doing good, you will find a different condition existing. PICK OUT THE GOOD. Why always pick out the bad instead of the good? All of us have some good in us. We should imitate the life and character of our heavenly Master. This is the foundation of the success of men and women. I went to the penitentiary, with Mrs. Trinkle. We had a large audience of some 700 or 800 people. They were there for the reason that they had to be there. Mrs. Trinkle played the piano and I heard them all singing together. It seemed to me to have been the sweetest music I had ever heard. Many were there for five, ten, twenty years and for life, all because they failed to live the life of the Master. Some of this was caused by malice, some from thoughtlessness, had done something, which had taken from them their liberty, their happiness and their contentment. A WARNING TO HEARERS May none of you ever do anything that will place you among those unfortunate men I saw there. How I do wish that I could impress upon you that righteous living brings to you happiness, contentment and joy. Just one little step in the wrong direction makes it ten times easier for you to reach the scarlet mark of disgrace. The first thing in your life to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA do ls to seek your Master. Any man, who moves by other than divine guidance will land in the path of error and ruin. Religion is a part of your community life. If you are a man with the right spirit, you will always be a useful man in your community. THE KNON CASE He referred to Sarah E. Knox, charged with killing Mrs. Eastlake at Colonial Beach, Va. She worked her way into the home of another man and his wife. He admitted that he joined the church to fool the people of the community. Your sins will find you out. If there is any man, who is living as he ought not to live; if there is any woman living as she ought not to live, watch out. The finger of time is writing your history. We all have our part to play. If you fit in, then you have done your part. GABRIEL'S TRUMPET. When Gabriel sounds his trumpet with one foot upon the land and one on the sea, then the man that performs his duty will have as great a place as any the world ever produced. Gov. Trinkle closed with a magnificent peroration that stirred the audience and brought forth a wave of approval. He had preached the gospel of hope in commenting upon the principles of Christianity. He requested through President John S. Powell that Rev. Dr. T. J. King say a word and that popular divine proceeded to the rostrum and made impressive remarks. Mr. B. L. Allen responded to the address of the Governor. CONCLUDING EXERCISES The choir had made fine readditions, and then a solo was rendered by Mr. Walter T. White, after which the congregation arose and gave the Claustanqua salute as the gubernatorial party passed out, but not before Hon. George A. Bowden had paid a tribute to His Excellency, cliting the fact that he had feuded him on his knee as a baby and had been first and foremost in promoting his candidacy for the governorship. He declared that the motto of this popular statesman was, "First seek ye the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you." COULD NOT ENTER. Hundreds of people on the outside could not secure admission to the spacious church and those who were lucky enough to hear the speaker, spoke golden words of commendation of the fine address, which he had delivered. --- REPUBLICAN FLING AT WILSON HOTLY RESENTED IN HOUSE. Washington, May 10.—Loan by the United States of $5,000,000 to the republic of Liberia, was authorized in a resolution passed tonight by the House. The vote was taken after the House had deflected a motion to recommit the resolution to the Way's and Means Committee with instructions to report it forthwith with an amendment providing that no part of the amount loaned should be used in paying the indebtedness of Liberia incurred prior to August 1, 1914. Vote is 148 to 139 The resolution was passed, 148 to 139, with six members voting present. The motion to recommit was defeated, 168 to 123. About forty Republicans voted against the bill, although many Republicans in and around the chamber did not vote. The Democrats opposed it solidly. In the all-day wrangle, characterized by Representative Tincher, Republican, Kansas, "as the most diagonal tactical fight in the House in the last two months was what some members described as a remarkable spectacle of Republican leaders insisting that an agreement of the Wilson administration should be carried out with Democratic leaders asserting that the loan to Liberia was authorized in 1918, "in defiance of law." Declare Reference Insulting Reference to former President Wilson by Chairman Fordney, of the Ways and Means Committee, in charge of the resolution, which Democrats declared, was "insulting," started a bitter, partisan fight, which eclipsed for the moment interest in the Republican claim that the government was morally and legally bound to step to the aid of Liberia, and a united Democratic denial. While there were many allusions to Mr. Wilson, the statement by Mr. Fordney which aroused Democratic wrath was made during a sharp passage bearing on the political make-up of Michigan. "We are intelligent people up there and we know how to vote," said Chairman Fordney, at which the chairman was asked "if you have any school teachers-up there." "None who received their education in Virginia," Mr. Fordney shouted. "The gentleman says that a school teacher is not much of a man outside of his own job," said Representative Lowry, Democrat, Mississippi, and Mr. Fordney instantly broke in. "Not unless he has considerable training in some other line," the chairman declared. "Take him direct from school to the White House and he is a glorious misfit. But as a political boss he worked well for a while, but he finally overstepped himself. Let me say that in that connection, in 1920 I made this statement—that the then President was going to change his boarding house on the 4th day of March, and he did. I said we would say to him what I have heard sung at the close of a school I attended down in the backwoods: "Good-by scholars, good-by school, Good-by teacher, you darned old fool." The Republican side rocked with laughter. Resents Insult to Wilson Declaring that he "resented" the insult to Mr. Wilson, Representative Connally, Democrat; Texas, who re- plied to "the attack," told the House, Mr. Fordney would eliminate his statement from the Congressional record. "The gentleman from Michigan, as is usually the case when he addresses the House," said Mr. Connally, "embraced the first opportunity he had to indulge in the same kind of course, livery-stable conversation about the ex-President of the United States, Mr. Woodrow Wilson. "Of course, it does not take any school teacher to understand that the gentleman from Michigan intended by his language a nasty fling at the great ex-President, who is not able to come here on this floor and defend himself against the coarse insults that are from time to time heaped upon his head. That great man is ill. I think it is unseemly and unbecoming in the chairman of a great committee to regale the galleries and his partisan audience here with these low, mean, nasty flings at a former President of the United States. Bravely Assail Ill Man "There was a time when the now ex-President was able to take care of himself in his own proper way and during that time the gentleman from Michigan and others who have seen fit from time to time to hurt at this defenseless head these insinuations and insults, would not have dared to use such language. "There are those now who gather about him to view his misfortune with satisfaction, to hurl their defenuctions at him in his defenseless condition." Chairman Fordney said the resolution, which goes now to the Senate would be passed speedily and sent to the President. TEXANS STAGE BRUTAL TEXANS STAGE BRUTAL (Continued from First Page.) Kirvin, where the three others were burned at the stake last Saturday. The negro, Tom Cornish, a brother of one of those burned, was believed by citizens to have made statements which implicated him in the slaying of the girl. Ordering by Gov.

Gallagher, Bishon of Detroit of the Roman Catholic Church has denied the truth of the statement in my recent article that George Nurse had been excluded from the Roman Catholic parochial schools of the City of Detroit. The lady who is responsible for this information is Mrs. B. Ransbottom, chairman of a committee sent to investigate George Nurse, champion sixth grade speller of the Detroit Public Schools and his family; by the Public School Defense League of the City of Detroit, it having appeared that George had been cheated out of the city championship by the judges of the spelling contest. Mrs. Ransbottom declares that Mrs. Nurse, the mother of George, told her that "she tried to enter her son in the Roman Catholic parochial schools when she came to Detroit but that she was told they did not have a school now where they could enter him, but would have a colored parochial school later. It was very gratifying to note that the Bishop objected to what he claimed was a false statement, and to cite several parochial schools of his church where there were Colored students in attendance. But whether or not some one below the Bishop did exclude George from the Catholic schools seems now to be a mooted question, as Mrs. Ransbottom insists that the information she transmitted is correct just as it was given to her committee. It would have been much more gratifying if Bishop Gallagher had denied the charge that the Roman "Catholic denomination intended to institute a "colored parochial school in the parish of St. Peter Claver Church, and that all of the colored students belonging to the church in the City of Detroit will be expected to attend that school." This is a point that Bishop Gallagher does not deny nor does he touch it, and is, after all, the big point we called the attention of the public to in our former article. The writer of this arti ele knows of at least one graduate of a colored parochial school who was depi admission to the Roman Catholic high school in the city of Chicago, "because they had no colored high school" and he himself was refused admission to the Detroit University, a Roman Catholic institution when he attended law school in the City of Detroit. That institution, I understand, has opened its doors to colored students be cause of the splendid work done by our late good Roman Catholic friend, Mr. Edward Doyle, a Detroit millionaire who was chief owner of the Mujes t bulding and he was investigating the Chicago case at the time of his death. It may be of interest to know that there are at least 2 colored Catholles in Detroit who acknowledge that the Roman Catholic church intends to erect here a colored Catholic School. On one occasion Mr. Henry Sheppard said that the "school would be built," and on Sunday, April 16 our eminent fellow-townsman; Detective Wallae Williams said that "every parish was supposed to have a parochial school meaning by that, that one would be built for St. Peter Claver parish. It will be remembered that when this church was first opened as a Roman Catholic church it was called "St. Peter Claver Colored Catholic Church." Someone painted over the word "colored" with white paint and the sign was taken down and when it was returned it read, "St. Peter Claver Roman Catholic Church." The colored people of Michigan and many of their white friends including Mrs. Ransbottom and the Public School Defense League believe that segregation of the races by color has gone as far as it ought to go in this supposedly democratic community. Coming back to the George Nurse affair, I append hereto the affidavit of Mrs. Ransbottom which explains itself. I also talked with Mrs. Nurse, the mother of George, since the denial was published and she said she told the ladies "that when she came to Detroit she was told that they did not accept colored students in the Catholic schools and that the ladies must have misunderstood her. The affidavit on Mrs. Ransbottom follows: State of Ohio. County of Putnam. BINA RANSBOTTOM, of the City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan being first duly sworn, deposes and says that she is a member of the Public School Defense League of Michigan, and a Committee to visit the family of George Nurse, Champion Sixth Grade Speller of the City of Detroit. Deponet further says that she had a long conversation with the mother of the lad who volunteered the information that they were members of the Roman Catholic Church and when they came to Detroit they "sought to enter George Nurse in the parochial schools of that faith but were informed the church had no schools where they could attend now, but they would soon have a colored school where her children could attend. And further Deponet saith not. (Signed) MRS. BINA RANSBOTTOM Submitted and sworn to before me this 17th day of April. A. D. 1922. (Signed) Frank Logan, Notary Public, Putnam County, Ohio. It will be seen by the foregoing that the affidavit was sworn to in Putnam County, Ohio. Mrs. Ransbottom was visiting relatives in Columbus Grove. In that County at the time the affidavit was signed, and in a letter accompanying the affidavit, she says: "I took down notes of different things she told me and before I left I read them over to her and she said they were correct. But she did not say the Bishop had refused her; she just said when she went to put them in school they were refused because they were colored." It may be of interest also to know that Defective Wallace Williams above quoted, does not send his children to the parochial schools, but he claims it is because he cannot afford to pay the tuition fees. --- Read The Planet for information concerning the world's "doings" and watch our advertisements. May you will see the very thing you have been looking for. (Continued from First Page) just as wrong for the white man to en- crouch upon the rights of the colored people as it is for the colored man to encrouch upon the rights of the white man THE LIMIT OF SAFETY There is a limit for both races, beyond which it is not safe for either race to go. The only hope in this world of living is Christianity. The sooner we all realize this, the better for all of us. The nations of the world may go to Genoa, and sit there any length of time, but the only way to have peace is through Christianity. It is a pleasure to me to see the fine churches, which you have. It is only by the putpit that is occupied by a cabable colored man, who helps you to occupy the high position you now occupy that you reach the highest point of religious attachment. I learn that you have a most capable colored leader here. I am always interested in giving to the church. A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER I was glad to listen to the beautiful prayer delivered by my friend sitting to my left. How can you come to this church or to any church and listen to such beautiful songs and not be a better man or a better woman? As I sat and listened to these songs, in a way that only colored people can sing them it lifts me closer to heaven. I am glad to know that you are a church-going people, that you come here and asso-ate with the colored people of this community in this work. It wont be long before all of us will be gone. Have you ever thought what a short time we spend here in comparison to eternity, and how simple it is for us to risk eternal perdition in the face of such conditions? LIFTING A COLLECTION I like to see a colored church take up a collection. I like to see you get up in your seats and go up to the table and give if only a penny to the cause of the Master. You can't be a Christian, if you are not a liberal giver. There is no man a Christian, who will not give to the cause of Christianity. You want to patronize all the things that are for the Christian uplift of these people. There are some people who seem to think that all the world is against them that the white people are against them, but they are mistaken. THE SHADOW OF DEATH There is a young colored man in the penitentiary, who was to have been electrocuted a few weeks ago. A colored lawyer brought the case to my attention. I was in the Executive Office at midnight reading the record to see if the young man got justice. If men are guilty, then the punishment is to be meted to them. If they are not guilty then punishment must not be meted. I hope that the time will never come in Virginia when such an affair such as took place in Texas last week, will take place here. (He referred to the burning of three colored men at the stake in a town in Texas.) We should also see to it that the cause of these crimes by either white or colored citizens are not committed. THE ELIMINATION OF CRIME I wish to have it so that I can leave my door left open without thought of having crime committed. I hope that our people will aid in the apprehension of the criminals. I am asked if you Gov. Trinkle believe that you can enforce the prohibition laws. I replied, Yes, when the people want the prohibition laws enforced then they can be enforced. I am going to say to you again, I am not trying to preach to you a sermon. I am not a preacher. I am simply trying to say a few commonplace things that will make you a better citizen. Your duty should be to marry a good woman and to secure yourself a good home. It will make you a better citizen. A HAPPY COMMUNITY I was invited by Mr. Sands to go down to Fairfield and I saw a community where every man was buying a home and I never saw such radiance upon the countenances as I saw down there. One said that what we do down here is to help each other. When one is in trouble, one helps the other. The thing that will make a people respect you will not be the amount of money, you have accumulated while you live, not the dress, but the amount of good you do one to the other. If we could just learn the lesson of brotherly love, of brotherly devotion and wipe out some of the jealousy that gets into our hearts and try doing good, you will find a different condition existing. PICK OUT THE GOOD Why always pick out the bad instead of the good? All of us have some good in us. We should imitate the life and character of our heavenly Master. This is the foundation of the success of men and women. I went to the penitentiary with Mrs. Trinkle. We had a large audience of some 700 or 800 people. They were there for the reason that they had to be there. Mrs. Trinkle played the piano and I heard them all singing together. It seemed to me to have been the sweetest music I had ever heard. Many were there for five, ten, twenty years and for life, all because they failed to live the life of the Master. Some of this was caused by malice, some from thoughtlessness, had done something, which had taken from them their liberty, their happiness and their contentment. A WARNING TO HEARERS May none of you ever do anything that will place you among those unfortunate men I saw there. How I do wish that I could impress upon you that righteous living brings to you happiness, contentment and joy. Just one little step in the wrong direction makes it ten times easier for you to reach the scarlet mark of disgrace. The first thing in your life to do is to seek your Master. Any man, who moves by other than divine guidance will land in the path of error and ruin. Religion is a part of your community life. If you are a man with the right spirit, you will always be a useful man in your community. THE KNON CASE. He referred to Sarah E. Knox, charged with killing Mrs. Eastlake at Colonial Beach, Va. She worked her way into the home of another man and his wife. He admitted that he joined the church to fool the people of the community. Your sins will find you out. If there is any man, who is living as he ought not to live; if there is any woman living as she ought not to live, watch out. The finger of time is writing your history. We all have our part to play. If you fit in, then you have done your part. GABRIEL'S TRUMPET When Gabriel sounds his trumpet with one foot upon the land and one on the sea, the man that performs his duty will have as great a place as any the world ever produced. Gov. Trinkle closed with a magnificent peroration that stirred the audience and brought forth a wave of approval. He had preached the gospel of hope in commenting upon the principles of Christianity. He requested through President John S. Powell that Rev. Dr. T. J. King say a word and that popular divine proceeded to toe rostrum and made impressive remarks. Mr. B. L. Allen responded to the address of the Governor. CONCLUDING EXERCISES The choir had made fine traditions, and then a solo was rendered by Mr. Walter T. White, after which the congregation arose and gave the Cauntauqua salute as "the gubernatorial party passed out, but not before Hon. George A. Bowden had paid a tribute to His Excellency, citing the fact that he had feuded aim on his knee as a baby and had been first and foremost in promoting his candidacy for the governorship. He declared that the motto of this popular statesman was, "First seek ye the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you." XCOULD NOT ENTER Hundreds of people on the outside could not secure admission to the spacious church and those who were lucky enough to hear the speaker, spoke golden words of commendation of the fine address, which he had delivered. REPUBLICAN FLING AT WILSON HOTLY RESENTED IN HOUSE. Washington, May 10. Loan by the United States of $5,000,000 to the republic of Liberia, was authorized in a resolution passed tonight by the House. The vote was taken after the House had defeated a motion to recommit the resolution to the Way's and Means Committee with instructions to report it forthwith with an amendment providing that no part of the amount loaned should be used in paying the indebtedness of Liberia incurred prior to August 1, 1914. Vote is 148 to 139 The resolution was passed, 148 to 139, with six members voting present. The motion to recommit was defeated, 168 to 123. About forty Republicans voted against the bill, although many Republicans in and around the chamber did not vote. The Democrats opposed it solidly. In the all-day wrangle, characterized by Representative Tincher, Republican, Kansas, "as the most diagonal political fight in the House in the last decade," there was what some members described as the remarkable spectacle of Republican leaders insisting that an agreement of the Wilson administration should be carried out with Democratic leaders asserting that the loan to Liberia was authorized in 1918, "in defiance of law." Declare Reference Insulting Reference to former President Wilson by Chairman Fordney, of the Ways and Means Committee, in charge of the resolution, which Democrats declared was "insulting" started a bitter, partisan fight, which eclipsed for the moment interest in the Republican claim that the government was morally and legally bound to step to the aid of Liberia, and a united Democratic denial. While there were many allusions to Mr. Wilson, the statement by Mr. Fordney which aroused Democratic wrath was made during a sharp passage bearing on the political makeup of Michigan. We are intelligent people up there and we are how to vote," said Chairman Fordney, at which the chairman was asked "if you have any school teachers up there." "None who received their education in Virginia," Mr. Fordney shouted. "The gentleman says that a school teacher is not much of a man outside of his own job," said Representative Lowry, Democrat, Mississippi, and Mr. Fordney instantly broke in. "Not unless he has considerable training in some other line," the chairman declared. "Take him direct from school to the White House and he is a glorious misfit. But as a political boss he worked well for a while, but he finally overstepped himself. Let me say that in that connection, in 1020 I made this statement—in 2010 President was going to change his boarding house on the 4th day of March, and he did. I said we would say to him what I have heard sung at the close of a school I attended down in the backwoods; "Good-by scholars, good-by school, Good-by teacher, you darned old fool." The Republican side rocked with laughter. Resents Insult to Wilson Declaring that he "presented" the insult to Mr. Wilson, Representative Connally, Democrat, Texas, who re- Beauty Aid for Dark Complexions If you want to be respected, admired and loved by everybody, see that you have a beautiful complexion, free of bumps and splotches, and that your hair is smooth and properly dressed.

Dr. Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS piled to "the attack," told the House, Mr. Fordney would eliminate his statement from the Congressional record. "The gentleman from Michigan, as is usually the case when he addresses the House," said Mr. Connally, "embraced the first opportunity he had to indulge in the same kind of course, livery-stable conversation about the ex-President of the United States, Mr. Woodrow Wilson. "Of course, it does not take any school teacher to understand that the gentleman from Michigan intended by his language a nasty fling at the great ex-President, who is not able to come here on this floor and defend himself against the coarse insults that are from time to time heaped upon his head. That great man is ill. I think it is unsexy and unbecoming in the chairman of a great committee to regale the galleries and his partisan audience here with these low, mean, nasty flings at a former President of the United States. Bravely Assail Ill Man "There was a time when the now ex-President was able to take care of himself in his own proper way and during that time the gentleman from Michigan and others who have seen fit from time to time to hurt at this defenseless head these insinuations and insults, would not have dared to use such language. "There are those now who gather about him to view his misfortune with satisfaction, to hurl their defenuctions at him in his defenseless condition." Chairman Fordney said the resolution, which goes now to the Senate would be passed speedily and sent to the President. TEXANS STAGE BRUTAL TEXANS STAGE BRUTAL (Continued from First Pago.)

In the Sunday School he paid a high compliment to the people of Roanoke who cared so hospitably for the Annual Conference. He paid a glowing tribute to the great success made under the leadership of Rev. James S. Hatcher, B. D. and the band of efficient officers who worked with him. Rev. Ewer delivered two excellent sermons at the morning and evening services of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. The people of Roanoke profited by his words of wisdom. The first quarterly conference convened Monday night, May 8, at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. Dr. I. Ewer presided. Pastor and people were happy to begin another year.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to force 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. 4 Aubuen Ave., Richmond Va.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden: Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair, Will also Restore the Strength, Vitality and the Beauty of the Hair. If Your Hair is Dry and Wiry Try EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER S. D. LYONS 316 North Central Oklahoma City, Oklahoma I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden'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. Hayden 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. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully, J. D. TAYLOR, 2419 E. Grace St., Richmond, Va.
