VANCE LEWIS LYNCHING IN U. S. (By Cleveland G. Allen.) New York, May 22. Hon J. N. Lewis noted Negro lawyer and who widely known throughout the country as an orator, speaking before a large audience at the Mother Zion A. M. Church, last Sunday afternoon go out against the lynching evil in the country and said that this practice America must stop, if she is to her rightful place among the nation's world. It was one of the strongest protest against mob rule ever heard in this city, and the large audience applauded the strong utterances on the speaker. The meeting was under the auspices of The John C. Price Lyceum, a musical and Literary program proceeded to the address. Mr. Lowia who came to this city from Texas, and who was recently admitted to the New York bar received an ovation when he rose to speak. His subject was: "The Negro's Place in the Nation." He said in part: "The Negro has made his place in America, and no one here has a greater claim to be called Americans than he. We have fought in every war for the defense of America, and stand ready to do it again if she is in peril. Despite this loyalty the Negro is lynched and burned at the stake. Lynching is one of the greatest evils and disgraces in America. America will not be the nation it ought to be if it is not stopped." The speaker called attention to the recent lynching and burning of Negroes in Texas and Georgia and said that the only thing that will stop this evil, is the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill. He praised this bill and said that every Negro ought to fight for its passage. Continuing the speaker said: By its habits of lynching America has broken the constitution. America is in the position of a drowning boy who in his distressries out who will come and help me? The speaker urged that the Negro take a greater interest in himself and of his past history. He called attention to the Negro's contribution to the civilization of the world and said that it should cause the Negro to hold up his head. He warned America against trying to settle disputes in other countries when she had problems to settle at home. The address was a strong plea for the rights of the Negro and well received by the large audience. Mr. Lewis has had an interesting career and has made a noted success as a criminal lawyer. He has spoken throughout the country in Republican campaigns. --- Mrs. Mildred Winston Dead Mrs. Tildred Winston, wife of Oliver Winston, formerly of Ridleymond, died at her home, in Newport, R.

Washington, May 22. An opinion that the antagonizing bill, passed recently by the House, in an unconventional and should not be recommended to Congress, was submitted to the Senate Committee by a subcommittee headed by Senator Borah, Republiean Indiana. The bill was read at ten in the committee deferred final motion until tomorrow. Senator Borah was joined in holding the bill uneinstitutional by Senator Owen, Democrat, North Carolina, and Senator Shields, Democrat Tennessee. The other subcommittee member, Senator Sterling, Republiean, South Dakota was said not to be in complete disagreement, but believed the bill might well be passed and put to the test before the Supreme Court of the United States. That the Supreme Court of the United States had decided squarely, in a lynching case from Alabama, that a Federal antithelming law was beyond the Federal powers, was contended by Senator Borah and his associates. Therefore, it was said that they asserted it would be useless to pass the bill pending. The question of procedure, however, was questioned by other com-mittee members, and a decision went over. The bill, introduced by Representative Dyer, Republican Missouri, would give the Federal government power to punish members of lynching parties. It has been urged strongly by Negro associations and others. JUDICIARY COMMITTEE REPORTS The Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday the 23rd inst., practically threw into the discard the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which passed the House January 26 last on the ground that it was unconstitutional. A new bill will be framed. While the committee took no official action several of the leading members admitted the majority opinion was opposed to the House measure on the ground it never would stand the test before the Supreme Court. Imbued with that belief, the subcommittee consisting of Senators Borah (Idaho), Overman (N. C.), Shields (Tenn.), Dillingham (Vt.), and Sterling (S. D.) made an unfavorable report to the full committee today on the Dyer bill. Senator Borah delivered orally the conclusions of the majority of the sub-committee that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was unconstitutional in many respects. In that conclusion he asserted he was supported by Senators Overman, Shields and Dillingham. Senator Sterling, the only other member of the sub-committee took exception to the majority report. He expressed the opinion that the Supreme Court indicated in previous decisions that it would be possible for the Federal Government to constrain legislation to protect individuals in event that the States had failed to offer the protection guaranteed under the Constitution. After the reports of the sub- committee there was discussion of the rubbefoot of knacking and of ways and uses by which the Federal Government out might come some legislation which to an extent would stamp it out. MAY FRAME ANOTHER BILL Senator Sterling expressed the opinion that the committee at its meeting tomorrow would start on a bill which he thinks the majority will approve. On the other hand, Senator Borah is convinced too such legislation as contemplated by the Dyee Bill would pass master before the Supreme Court. He is of the opinion the Federal Government has no authority to interfere with the police power of the States to the extent that would be necessary to carry out the provisions of any anti lynching bill. Senator Lodge (Mass.) showed interest to-day in the action of the committee on the bill. He is anxious to have some measure along that line enacted by Congress, as there is a strong sentiment among Negro voters in his State in favor of that legislation. In pointing out the flaws in the Dyee bill several Senators on the Judiciary Committee riddled the provision by which a community was to be fined heavily in the event a lynching took place, and the fact that in trying charges against those taking part in lynchings Federal jurors could be imported from other States. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 PLANET STARTS A BIG CONTEST BEE-HIVE PICTURE PUZZLE Get Busy-Cash Prizes Offered. See Announcement on Page Three. The Planet this week presents a cleverly worked out word picture game for the edification of its readers. To add zest to the game, we are offering the casa prizes listed under the picture. There is no game of chance about this picture puzzle. It is a test of good eye and quick wits. And the beauty about it is that the fellow with a lot of book learning doesn't stand more show than the fellow with only a practical education in the school of hard knocks. The former may know in an abstract way, the existence of many things; but the latter knows a "bulbhead" when he sees it. So there you are. At any rate, when they get thrush with the puzzle they will both have increased their vocabulary and their knowledge of things "b". From an educational standpoint they will be ahead. From a financial standpoint they are not losers owen if they should win no prize. They ought all have The Planet anyway. Incidentally, the Planet ought to get quite a number of new subscribers this way - also a very desirable result of the game. Turn to page three and see how many objects beginning with the letter 'J' you can find in the puzzle picture and follow the rules of the contest. SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE CROSPUS ATTUCKS AUXILIARY.

COLORED VOTE WENT TO PROGRESSIVES LEADERS CLAIM CREDIT FOR VICTORIES OF BOTH PINCHOT AND BEVARDGE. Washington, May 19. - It became known here today that the Negro voters in Pennsylvania and Indiana played a very important part in the recent primaries and that their influence and votes were used largely for Fencewood and Beveridge and against Alter and New. The World was informed by the local leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that other leading Administration Congress-men are slated for slaughter by Negro voters because of their opposition to or indifference toward the Anti-lynching and other uplift legislation pending in Congress. "We told our leaders in Pennsylvania to go to the bat good and strong for Mr. Pinchot," said Shelby Davidson representative of the Association, "We sent him a query asking him how he stood, as we did Attorney General Alter, and he answered promptly with a promise of support and his opponent never replied." Davidson said Republicans who voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill that passed the House and is now tied up in the Senate will be fought to the last minute on Election Day. He pointed out that Representative Kelly of Michigan would be defeated in his fight against Senator Townsend for the Senate because he voted against Dyer Bill in the House. "We are marking men in this campaign," said Davidson, "and they will be measured by our own yardsticks. If they are not for us they are against us." The Negro support Representative Dyer said today was responsible to a marked degree for the nomination of Pinchot and the defeat of New. He predicted Negroes would be heard from again before the campaign is over. In most of the States where there is a Senatorial campaign --- LOCAL N. A. A. C. P. GETS COI ROBERT T. KERLIN TO SPEAK HERE. At True Reformers' Hall, Monday Night June 5th, Dr. Robert T. Kerlin will speak in the interest of the Local Branch of the N. A., A. C. P., on the subject: "Dreams and Dreamers," Dr. Kerlin held the Chair of English at the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va., and because he wrote a Letter of defense on behalf of victims of the Elaine, Arkansas riots, bespeaking common justice for defenseless Negroes, the Board of Governors of the Institute dismissed him from the faculty. Proof, Kerlin has served his country as Chaplain in the Army during the Spanish-American War and is a foremost educator of the white youth of the nation.

Denny, of the Richmond Branch N. A. A. C. P. is heading a membership campaign for the Association and Proof Kerlin has agreed to speak in the interest of the work on the night of the 5th of June.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS I had made an engagement to speak Sunday, April 30th at South Boston, Va, and I finally decided to go by roadway in my Stanley Steam Car. As I had some Order work do, Mrs. Lacy Cross, Mrs. L. E. Scott and Miss Eva G. Davis constituted the party, while Robinson Davis, although somewhat indisposed, decided to take charge of the wheel. We left Richmond, Saturday, April 29th at 10:15 A. M. We had gotter within about six miles of Petersburg, when the oil blinker refused to blight. As this would rain the engine trunk back of oil, there was nothing to do, but stop and adjust it. We arrived at Petersburg, somewhat behind schedule. ON TO BLACKSTONE We did not tarry, but hurried on to Blackstone, Va., where Mrs. Jennie V. Jackson was expecting us, it was about one o'clock when we arrived there. Miss Helen Cephas, instructor in the school there, was present also to greet us. Mrs. Jackson soon had luncheon served. We remained more than an hour and finally started out for South Hill, from which point, we were to branch off to Clarksville. The Stanley Steam Car seemed as much of a curiosity at every stop we made as was P. T. Barnum's "What is it?" Robinson was questioned and he gave most of his answers in monosvables. BUFFALO LITHIA SPRINGS For the first time in my life, I was in Clarksville and this village presented certain characteristics applicable to Williamsburg, Va. and Yorktown. We took the Buffalo Lithia Springs route and were soon at this celebrated Virginia resort, noted for its health giving water, which is a specific for all diseases of the kidney, liver and bladder. I had known Mr. A. R. Holderby, who is in charge, he was the editor and owner of the Richmond Evening Journal and had given up that project to take charge of this famous resort. A REMARKABLE PLANT I saw him and approached with my usual jovial smile. He was surprised and he welcomed me to the grounds. This is a wonderful place. I inspected the bottling plant where is put up the famous Number 2 water. He has every devise, contrivance and chemical methods for sterilizing the waters that go out. Only new bottles are used. A colored man was at work there. The sensor had not opened. The structure, which appeared to be new or of recent construction was a model of cleanliness and neatness. A laboratory expert was kept on the grounds. He had cases of water ready for shipment and the fields of activity extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to the Gulf. A DAM BUILT Large shipments are made also to Europe. There are 1000 acres in the Buffalo Springs property and Mr. Holderby has built a lake covering 15 acres. It is stocked with fish. So many are there that Mr. Holderby stated that he amused himself catching them and then throwing them back into the water. He gave us a bottle of the No. 2 water. This place is destined to be a great world's resort. We were about to leave and we passed out to the road. (Continued on Second page.) BURNED AT STAKE FOR THE MURDER OF WOMAN. Mob Locates Another Altered Assail ant Six Miles From Scene Davidson, Ga., May 18—Following his confession that he robbed and murdered Mrs. William Kitchen 22, rural mail carrier of this city, Charlie Atkins, 15 year old colored youth was burned at the stake at 6:40 clock tonight. The lynching occurred at the end of the murder, with hundreds of persons from several counties looking on. After being tortured with a slow fire for fifteen minutes the mob loosened the truss chain that held Atkins to a pine tree and placed his scared body in the middle of the main highway.

I hear that this article was written by a prominent Liberian who visited the U. S. a short while ago. I have been on African soll nearly three weeks. My first few days, in- eluding @ Sunday were spent in tho English Colony, of Slerra Leone, where I accompanied the English Bishop to three of his engagements and spoke at each. ML preached and adjiressed largo audiences on my. first’ Sunday in Monrovia. In the afternoon I preached In Trinity Memorial Church and at night J ‘spoke to a large audience in the Baptist Chureh; Sev- oral receptions have been held in my honor, at which were prominent church and state diticials, Everything possible has been done ‘by the citl- zons of Liberia to make amo feel happy and comfortable during my visit to the “Watherland.”” It might be interesting for you to know that the Baptist Church, Rev, ©. C, Boone, M. D., pastor, In ‘which I spoke Sunday ovening, April 2nd, was built by the late Rev. Lott Carey the first Baptist Missionary to come to these parts from Richmond, Va. 100 years ago. ‘Then on Friday of Inst week I visited the Liberia Bap- tist Misstonary and gducational Con- yontion, held that day in the Lott Carey Institute, at Brewerville, Mont- serrado County, ‘The president, Rev S. A. Liberty and all the delegates and Visitors were extremely nice to our party. It is rather interesting to know that the Baptist Church and Rich- niond, Va. lay claim to the first mis- sionnry work in Liberia. With kind regards and best wish- es for yourself and all of my Rich mond friends, Sincerely yours, JAMIBS S, RUSSELL. ‘The Liberian News published the following comment: By the “Bgba” of Elder Dempster & (Cp.

He has truly done a great work for his race and the Chureh. ‘The splendid work being dono at St. Paul igs a great monument to his work and worth Starting from a_vory humble beginning, in fact with no money, merely an get of faith, by great enorgy, industry and persever- ance he has ‘built the school up to the great monumental work it 18 to- day. It is second to Hampton and ‘Tuskegee only in tho proportions of the work and not in the class of the work, He comes over six thousand miles to see and know Liberin and about her affairs, her strivings, aspirations ambitions and possibilities. He hopes to help Liberia in the information he will be able to take back to his peo- ple. I am sure all Liberians wel- come the coming of such a visitor. THE DOINGS OF THE Y, M. C, A. To the Y. M. C.

MADE HIM PAY, ‘The terms being satistactory, the prohibition officer told him to. un- load as ho had purchased the lum- her. ‘The man unloaded and nothing but lumber was on the wagon, ‘Tho officer did not want to buy the lume bor and refused to pay for it. ‘The frate salesman told him he mist! pay for the lumber or tale the conse- quences and he was a powertul man and ready for action, ‘Tho officer decided to pay for the lumber, but ho had tho countryman arrested for foreing payment. ‘The officer lost the caso. I was much interosted in the recital. ‘That night, T was due in Martinsville, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. Thomas Hoyle. I went there, leaving at about 6 o'clock. The la- dies would not hear talk of a refusal aud Mr. George W. Rison and Dr. A. A. Tennant were willing; they went along too, . FIND SCENERY. We arrived there in good time. The trip was delightful, the roads boing good. We could see the moun- tains in tho distance and when we drove up to the Hoyle tonsorial shop a young man got in and piloted us to Mr, Hoylo's residence, where he and his Madame were expecting us. Then came supper. He then told us that he expected to set wp a Court ‘at Fieldale the next day. I had not ‘come prepared for this. I had ex- pected to leave Martinsville early the hext morning and seo to tt that Dr. Tennant could return by train at 8 o'clock from Danville for Richmond, All decided to go over to Fioldale and leave the next afternoon for Danville and from. thero, the same ovoning, start for Richmond, I met Martinsville Lodge that night and spoke to the members at tho hall, AT FIBLDALE. We went over to Fialdale. Mr, Hoyle took his car and carried Dr: Tennant and Mr. Rison, while his Madame and her friend accompanied us. We wore early. I strolled of along the hill side, I saw a Iittle girl with a small boy trudging down the roadway on the river-side, 1 asked where she lived. She wanted to know what 1 wanted to know for. ‘Then she pointed to a houso on the branch. I felt free for a while. On the hillside, were the cabins of the ‘colored workers and people had come for miles to join the Order. 1 was, 80 to speak, in a strange world, The Work completed, we returned to Martinsville, ‘This ‘is a peaceful town, although it has a wide repu tation for the quality of its corn whiskey and its apple brandy, whic} comes from the recesses in the moun: tains nearby and into which fev prohibition officers have the hardt hood to enter, A DANGBROUS NEIGHBORHOOD. | Some peovlo say, like Prussie acid, it ts sure death.

Betts, near Sutherlins and about 18 miles from Danville. But it was dark and I could not make my mind to take a country drive in the night time, with a load of femates aboard, 89 I decided to wait until early the next morning and breakfast at the Bett's home. I had wired them tc that effect. “But the best laid plans of mice and men gang att agley.’ I wake early and I can sometimes hear, when I do not want to hear. ‘Tho /pattering of the rain on a tin root hus always been music: to my ears, but on this particular morning it sounded Mke a funeral dirge. A GLOOMY OUTLOOK. It was pouring down and visions of that red clay road over which I had passed coming into Danville wore conjured up and these helpless and hapless ladies accompanying me added to my misery. T could stand it and Robinson could laugh it away, Dut what could I do-with the other members of the party? T was awake at 4 A, M. and I had expected to leave at 5 o'clock and not later than 6, but what could I do. ‘To make matters ‘worse, George Rison came in to inform me that it was raining. No one knew it better than I did, for I had tiptoed to the outside to bo convinced of my misery. I did not seo the need of waking Robinson. Ho needed sleep and he was getting what he needed. THAT OIL BLINKER. T bogan thinking that if the rain continued, It iwould soak into. the ground and give to tho automobilists soas of mud. So I decided to leave anyway for Mr. Betts’ home. Wo went down town and iRobinson worked on the oil blinker for somo time. “Tt was after § o'clock before we started on the return trip with ‘the rain still coming down, It was dry on the inside and the chains on the wheels were our only hopo from being ditched on those red clay roads over which wo Were to pass betoro again reaching those of the gray soil class.

People, who spend most freely are those who earn least. A jealous man is bad enough, but a jealous woman is awful. Saving money is a habit. It will pay you to acquire that habit. Patronize race enterprises colored folks and engage in business yourselves. Racial jealousy is largely responsible for racial troubles. Don't forget that. "One swallow does not make a Summer" and neither does one failure bring disaster. Be polite and obliging to everybody. It will pay both you and your offspring. Knowing colored folks is a difficult task: knowing white ones is a Chinese puzzle. Some people have as hard a time with themselves as other people have with them. Deception has been practiced by some people so much that it has be come a habit. Fine dress does not benefit a person particularly, but it gives some other people a lot of satisfaction. Telling things to make trouble should be substituted for sayings which cause pleasure. Climbing up is a difficult task. Climbing down is an easy past-time. Which are you doing? --- A sign should be hung out from the flag staff over the capital building at Washington, "Statesmen Wanted." Prejudice of every kind is on the increase. The time will come when it will be on the decrease. . Cqcomplaining colored folks are a handicap to themselves and those by whom they are surrounded. Some white folks are all right, but they have not the moral stamina to face the white folks, who are all wrong Women, who work are to be commended. Women, who idle are to be condemned. This applies to the men too. The colored voters in the doubtful States and in many that are not doubtful are making their political power felt. A WORD ABOUT LEADERSHIP. Just now, the political situation as it affects the colored people of the country rests in the hands of certain political leaders, who are handling the delicate questions from their view-point. It is difficult to name all, who are directly involved, but we are risking the naming of some of them and stating their positions from our view-point. In the New England States in general and specifically in Boston, Massachusetts, we have Editor William Monroo Trotter of the Guardian. He is an uncompromising advocate of the securing tor citizens of color all of their rights and privileges. He does not recognize existing conditions. He is in favor of the law "as it is writ". He can see no racial handicaps. He believes the Constitution of the United States means what it says and the thought of color is far removed from his mind. A compromise is not considered by him. He wants the whole bog or none". He wants all of his rights or he will accept none with compromising conditions attached. He has a large number of what may be termed fanatical followers, who take the same view of the situation and who prefer to disfighting for rights denier than to "live in clover," with fundamental principles nullified. In street accord with this view of the situation, but far more diplomatic is Editor John Q. Adams of the St. Paul, Minnesota Appeal. He recognizes the fact only that he is an American citizen and as such is entitled to all of the rights and privileges of any other citizen. He does not recognize racial discriminations or classes on the part of white folks or of the black folks. He does not recognize or accept Africa as his home. The United States of America is good enough for him and until he gets all of his rights, he will battle on to "the end of the chapter." Then comes Charles W. Anderson of New York. A citizen of color, who has not championed racial rights and privileges, but who has succeeded in having accorded to him despite his color all of the rights and privileges of a white man. He has done this by a charming personality and by the exercise of a peculiar form of political acumen that has amazed not only colored men, but white ones as well. The white folks in his section do not feel any embarrassment in naming him in connection with any public function and if the politicians had their way, he could be named for Lieutenant Governor of New York State. Just where he is now with the Harding Administration is the interesting question. He appears to be "lost in the wilderness", so far as public appointment is concerned. It begins to look as though New York State will have to take care of him. His elevation to high office would not offend the white Republican leaders and it would cause favorable comment on the part of the vast number of colored people through out the country. But we failed to comment upon Hon. Charles W. Anderson upon racial questions. We had no need so to do. His actions and his successes along these lines do the talking for him. In Ohio, we have a peculiar condition. We do not ourselves understand it. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland, Ohio Gazette and "father" of the Ohio Anti-lynching law now effectively upon the statute books of the Public favor is all right, when it is legitimately secured, but it is all wrong when it is the result of deception. --- Colored people are praying for the triumph of right. The Good Lord will answer those prayers in His own time. Wait on the Lord. Some people make selfishness their daily religion.. They cannot be trusted in any matter where their own interests are involved. There is only one way to secure rights denied and that is to contend for them without ceasing until they are secured. Compromises at times are all right, but generally speaking they are all wrong, where fundamental right principles are involved. --- The statesman, who said, he would rather be right than be President is dead and left no successors so far as we know. President Warren G. Harding means all right towards the colored people of this country, but he has such a peculiar way of showing it. Many of our people believe in supporting the race, but they count themselves as the race and they can see no further than that. Duck-eye State is occupying a most peculiar position. He is an uncompromising advocate of all the rights and privileges for the citizens of color, commonly known as Negroes. In principles, he lines up squarely with Trotter of Mass sachusetts, editor of the Guardia, Adanus, of Minnesota, editor of the Appeal. He is treading tenderly upon the question of the Harding policies in dealing with the colored people of this country, for those policies are "four-square" in opposition to his teachings of a life-time. You cannot find him saying one word against the statesman, for whom he has done so much and in whose favor, he worked night and day in order to elevate him to the White House of the Nation. We cross over to Tennessee, where that remarkable political proposition resides. We refer to Hon. R. R. Church who leads the Republican forces in that State in a combination with right-thinking white men. He is familiarly known as Bob Church and his personality is so winsome that to be in his presence for a brief period of time is to be won over to his way of thinking, if you are unprefluenced. He is "biding his time" with the hope that political conditions' will change and that the political buccancers, who have come into the Republican Party from the Democratic Party with the underlying desire to seek the "leaves and fishes" only with no regard for principles will tire on the way side and drop out or that the Republican leaders of Washington will tire of them and then the regulars of other days will come unto their own again We have no need to name Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson. Our columns have already been surfaced with information concerning him. We place Editor Benjamin J. Davis in the same class with Adams, Trotter and other leaders. We have no need to name Rev. M. A. N. Shaw and that persistent "prince of leaders", Rev. W. H. Jernigan, Rev. J. Milton Waldron and their like. Call their names is to recognize their principles. Shall we fight in side of the Republican Party or shall we align ourselves outside of it? This is the question upon which some agreement should be reached. The policy of the Republican leaders is to retain enough of the colored vote to achieve success and to drive enough of the colored voters into the Democratic organization to rob the campaign of the race issue. This gives the colored people an opportunity to line up. Shall we follow the dictates of those who would map out a policy for us or shall we frame and operate under our own policy? We have not named Hon. Marcus Garvey in this comment. We place him in the industrial, the economic field with Africa as his home and country. We have not named Dr. R..R. Meton. He is exclusively in the industrial field and so far as we can see, he should remain thore. We have only named a few of our leaders. There are hundreds of others, but we believe that most of them can be ranked under the leadership of the men, whom we have named and if not under them as leaders, they will line up in the classes outlined. Certain it is, the cringing, compromising Negro leader has had his day. Those now upon the field of action are determined to stand and walk upright. Southern white people of the right kind are increasing in numbers and those of the wrong kind are increasing in number also. You cannot permit the burning of human beings alive and then profess belief in the teachings and practices of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Colored people should read and support colored newspapers and they should support and pay for those that advocate their rights and privileges. Some people revere their parents and some others are not interested as to whether their parents live or die, just so they have a good time. White people of the right kind are all right and colored folks with the proper raising are all right too, but God help the other kind of both races. People who die early sometimes miss the best part of life. They can console themselves with the fact that they have missed the worse part of it also. Travelling to Heaven is along a rocky road. Travelling the other way is like moving along on slippery glass steadily in one direction downward. --- Colored people should stand together. As we see it now, they are very THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA much divided. They have much talk It is gratifying info and but little money to back up that that Dr. F. T. McFade talk. the pastorate of the N Pay little attention to what people say. Pay most attention to what people do and you will be able to form a proper estimate of a certain class of people. A person, who turns on a friend who does wrong once has never been a friend, although people may have be lieved the person to have been a friend. People, who say what they think and declare what they honestly believe are treated with very little consideration in this country at the present time. Love with some people is a habit and with some others, it is a disease. In both cases, it is a false brand of love that passes around for the genuine article. Some people will help if their aid is requested and some others will not "lift a finger" if you beg them with tears in your eyes to assist in a movement. ```markdown ``` Some people will render more service without pay than they will render with pay. Some others will render no service without pay and then they give this service gruddigingly as it is. Some people live according to the rule, "come day, go day, God send Sunday." They spend all they earn and they have no time or inclination to support race enterprises. --- They are filling the fails and pennitilaries these days with about as many people, who should not be in there as they are with the people who deserve that kind of punishment. The outlook for prosperity is bright. Race prejudice is still in the offering and it takes a statesman to prevent a condition of affairs, which will bring about discontent amongst the masses. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has proven its worth and should be loyally supported by all persons regardless of race, color or previous conditions of servitude. --- The life-time effort of some people is to make money and then some of them mourn because they cannot live long enough to enjoy it. A person, who finds pleasure in work will have the best time after all. --- Burning human beings has become a past-time in both Texas and Georgia. If the victims had sense enough to die fighting, the cremation of their bodies while they lived would not have taken place. Colored people, who own stock in colored banking institutions and who deposit their money there are showing the right spirit and God will bless them. We have nothing to say about the other kind. --- Speaking ill of people does not pay. Those people, who are not living up to the standard carry in their own fore heads the mark of perfidy and disgrace. Try speaking well of everybody and when you cannot do this, remain silent. Matrilmony is all right, if you marry the right person and it is all wrong, if you marry the wrong person. The trouble about it is that some people have very little judgment upon this all important subject. --- The talk about this being "a white man's country may be all right as a matter of fact, but it is all wrong as a matter of theory and the time will come when it will be all wrong as a matter of fact. --- Children learn more quickly; that is they are more apt than older people. This may be the reason why they are now educating the older people at the expense of the children, who are permitted to play too often in the streets. It is gratifying information to know that Dr. F. T. McFaden, who resigned the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church will remain with us. He is one of the few write men, who endeavor to live up to the teachings of the Scriptures. We must again express to our sub- scribers who have heeded our appeals for the money they have paid on the subscriptions. It takes money to run a newspaper, no matter how insignifi- cant it may be and these people are sending in the money. --- Some people are so crooked that they may be well taken for a cork-screw. The latter will pull a cork out of a bottle but this kind of humanity can not be depended upon to do even that unless it is a whiskey bottle and their whiskey must be inside of the bottle. ```markdown ``` Some people on this earth are interested in communicating with the spirits in the other world. As for our selves, we are contented to wait until we got over their ourselves. We prefer to talk only to live people and when the dead ones want to talk to us, well; we are just gone. --- Gov. E. Lee Trinkle is an expert horseman, else he would be now occupying a cot in a hospital as a result of his horse's escapade. People do not scent danger even when it is right upon them. All he needed was an open space and the animal would have sooner found out that he was under control of a master. When our legislators made it a crime for a man to put a bottle to his lips If it contained whiskey, we became of the opinion that the limit of legislation had been reached and we backed out. It was Draco, who in an ancient times made every crime, big and little punishable with death. It did not work then. It will not work now. It is not the severity of the punishment that checks crime, but the certainty of it. --- The Virginia Historical Pageant has passed into history as one of the best staged affairs ever seen here. The historical displays were of a kind that the student could read at a glance and the ordinary individual could think about for some time to come. The handicap of Monday was atoned for by the fair weather during the remainder of the week. As a citizen of Richmond, interested in its welfare and anxious about its prosperity, we realize that the success of the venture was our success, even though we had no active participation in this superb achievement of the progressive white citizens of this locality. --- The Hotel Tattler is the latest New York venture and it is making a strong bid for public favor. It has reached the fourth issue and is published weekly at $2.00 per year with Mr. Floyd G. Nelson as Editor-in-Chief and Mr. Elmer B. Derby as Business Manager. We hope that it will prove a financial success and it is making a personal appeal that will entitle it to long life. It is too good a shee to be furnished at $2.00 per year, unless its advertising space will pay the up-keep expense. But this is none of our business. It is worth double the amount its promoters are charging for it and for this reason the public should readily pay the moderate sum asked by the publishers. ```markdown ``` Col. Robert T. Kerlin, one of the greatest Southernners, this section of the country has ever produced will deliver an address here at the True Reformers' Hall, Monday night, June 5th We hope that our people will turn out in full force. The message from this distinguished citizen and scholar who was dismissed from the Virginia Military Institute for exercising the rigor of free speech should be heard by every Virginian regardless of race or color, politics or religion. Let the colored people rally in full force. Do not regard the charge of fifty cents as being a charge to hear him, but a contribution to the cause of human rights. We hope that our people will rally to hear him. Men of his type are scarce. Money should not be any consideration whatsoever. Go and hear Col. Robert T. Kerlin of Loxington, Va. ```markdown ``` THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK The Republican State Committee met at Alexandria last week and mapped out a programme for the Fall congressional election. So far as we have been advised, it proceeded along the lines of a white Republican Party for Virginia, regardless of the attitude of the Administration at Washington or the warnings of the trained politicians in this State. A prominent and influential figure in this meeting was Col Henry W. Anderson. He is accredited with having stated in the recent campaign for Governor, in which campaign he was defeated by Gov. E. Lee Trinkle by one of the most stupendous majorities ever recorded in this State that he was not a Republican. We take it then that he is affiliating with the Republican organization with the avowed purpose of evening up old scores with the Democratic organization and its managers. While the Hon. C. Bascom Slemp has been mercilessly scored in some quarters for his attitude towards the citizen of color, it may be well to state that personally, he has no prejudice against our people. He is a politician with personal views, which he subordinates to party policy. While some of us have a poor opinion of this kind of policy it is radically different from the attitude of Col. Henry W. Anderson, who has an antipathy to the citizens of color, commonly known as and called Negroes. But what will be the outcome of this policy? Do these gentlemen expect the colored voters to accept the dictum that they vote in a party, known as Republican with no part or parcel in such an organization? Do they expect a people, who own and pay taxes on nearly a hundred million dollars worth of property, real and personal to have no part in the party machinery and in the party government? Can such an open policy of unfairness succeed in a republic? This is the question, which demands an answer. We are for peace and we hope that peace may be brought about by conferences. The hands of eternal justice are still moving and temporary success for today will be followed by permanent defeat tomorrow. Is it the purpose of the Republican Party in this State to ignore absolutely the Negro Republicans? If so, let us make an open appeal to the Negro Republicans in the northern States. They are of our kith and kindred and will heed the appeal of their kin-folks in the southern States. We can win, if we organize. We can win, if we co-operate. We can secure success, if we prove that we deserve it. Let us avoid harsh language. Let us avoid unseemly threats, but let us work with a purpose, to the end that men, regardless of party, who have forsaken fundamental right principles and who seek a whole people's undoing shall be buried so deep under the avalanche of public disapproval that "Gabriel's trumpet will not awaken them." --- THE SUB-COMMITTEE'S REPORT --- The sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee to whom the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now pending be before the United States Senate under the leadership of Senator William E. Borah, the Republican leader has reported the bill unconstitutional and insisted on this account, it would be useless to pass the measure. This is peculiar reasoning on the part of a body that has passed unconstitutional measures time and again and which has been more or less swayed by public sentiment in the country at large. State's rights have been practically eliminated by members of both political parties and under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson, the necessity for a centralized form of government has been emphasized. As to the United States Supreme Court, it is a well-known fact that its previous decisions upon any question cannot be taken either as an authority or as a criterion. The trail is like that of a wiggling snake, first on one side and then on the other. We have had reversals, four to five decisions and August deliverances upon fundamental questions, which looked both ways and were subject to double constructions. The Constitution of the United States expressly prohibits unlawful, cruel and unusual punishments and the denial to any class of citizens the equal protection of the laws, Article VII reads: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Does this constitutional provision mean what it says? Three colored men—citizens of the United States have recently been burned at the stake in Texas and one other has been subjected to similar punishment in the State of Georgia. Article X reads: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Is not the power to prohibit the infliction of cruel and unusual punishments delegated to the United States and is it not prohibited to the States by this provision of the Constitution of the United States? A provision in Article XIV reads: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; * * nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. These provisions of the Constitution are backed up by Section 5, which reads: The Congress shall have power to en force by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. We take it then that this is just what the Congress is trying to do by the enactment of the provisions of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. With the screams of the victims ringing in their cars and the disgrace of the flendish atrocities reverberating around the world, shaming a Christian nation; this Com, coolly surveys the scene and brings the weight of its influence against this just measure designed to at least check this crowning flendishness of the Twentieth Century. Senator William E. Borah may have the nerve to deliver a legal argument in favor of his report and he may use the powerful influence, which he possesses to defeat the measure but the reaction which will follow will bring about his political undoing and result in a protest which will reach the throne of God itself. Action is needed to check stake burning and lynching of human beings, be they white or colored. The law must be respected in the States and in the United States. The first duty of a Government is to protect human life. We spend millions to protect the lives of our citizens abroad; we should spend more to safeguard the lives of our citizens at home. Lynch-law must go! --- Whiskey is a curse to any nation, but there is a proper way to control it. Getting a wife is easy; getting rid of a wife is difficult. Some people wear clothes just because they are required so to do. You may run today, but you will have to sit down and rest tomorrow. Be temperate in all things. Avoid the wine-cup, when it is red and the beer-cup when it is frothy. Practice politeness, colored folks. Do not let your ill feeling enter into it. Practice politeness towards the white folks and towards the colored ones. It will richly repay you. The Virginia Historical Pageant was all right. The management made some blunders, but us a whole the affair was a credit to the city. Let us stop grumbling. It did not cost us and it benefited some other people, who needed the benefit. --- When you set some colored folks to antagonizing some other colored folks, they seem to be enjoying the happiest moments of their lives. When you have trouble, remember that good times are following in its wake. When you are having good times, remember that trouble is just outside on the doorstep and will soon demand admittance. Children cry often over imaginary troubles. Grown people cry less often, but when they do cry, they are up against the genuine article. Some colored folks glory at the advancement of their fellows. Some others are almost paralyzed with envy, when they witness the same kind of an advancement. --- Christ came upon this earth to save man-kind. If He came again, he would find a similar reception to that accorded him upon the occasion of His first visit. Even many of the professed believers would doubt that He is the Christ.

Some colored folks believe in supporting race enterprises. They help every legitimate business and this class of people should enjoy long life and prosperity. --- Speaking about Africa, there are numbers of colored folks round about here that we would like to see shipped to that fair land.

THE FAMOUS CLEVELAND ELEVENTH WAR FRAUD CASES IN COURT AT LAST AS TWO ARE HELD AND ARREST OF SCORES NEAR MAN AND WOMAN OUT ON $1,000,00 BOND—PRELIMINARY TRIAL HELD—WILL OF THE MAJORITY WAS DFFEATED IN FALL MUNICIPAL ELECTION—NO INTERFERENCE SIX (Cleveland Ohio Gazette.)- Long expected prosecution of close onto a hundred persons, who voted in the eleventh ward municipal election of last fall, on charges of fraud is in prospect as a sequence to the arrest of E. C. Ferguson a traveling minster and a Mrs. Ida Perry, on the allegation that they violated the election laws in voting, November 8, 1921, in Ward 11. They were taken into custody last week Thursday on warrants sworn to before Police Justice Stanton Adams of East Cleveland, Mrs. Perry according to an affidavit was a resident of the twelfth ward and Ferguson according to an affidavit had been in Ohio less than a year on November 8. Both defendants pleaded not guilty and were held for hearing last Friday afternoon in $1,000 bail each. On the request of defendants their cases were continued to this week, Friday afternoon. The warrants were requested by Attorney Rbert Crosser, former congressman who said that many more arrests would follow. AMPLE PROOF SECURED. "We have what we think is ample proof that almost every law enacted to assure honest elections and a just count was violated in numerous instances on November 8 in the municipal election in the eleventh ward," Mr. Crosser said. "Persons who were not legal residents of the ward at all voted and legal residents of the ward who did not vote were impersonated by others who did vote in the names of those whom they impersonated. Precinct officials permitted persons who were not in any way officially interested in the election to handle ballots before depositing them in the ballot boxes. Ballots were produced from the pockets of private individuals who were within certain election booths before 6:15 A.M., the official time for opening the polls and persons who were not even citizens of the state voted. Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere Councilman Fleming is alleged to have defeated the Hon. Harry C. Smith after one of the hottest councilmanic campaigns ever staged in the city, by less than 700 votes. The total registered vote prior to the last election in ward 11 November 8, 1921 was 7,423 (5,127 men and 2,301 women.) Only 5,785 were returned as voting by booth officials of the ward and the Board of Elections. This in the face of the fact that the contest in that ward was exceptional, such as to attract the attention of the entire city. It was the result of an uprising of the people forced by conditions that beggar description. Every man and woman in that ward was anxious to vote and every effort was made to interest all and get all to vote THEY DID VOTE The FitzGerald-Maschke“Starlight” Boyd-Councilman Fleming following openly boasted before election that if their opponents won they would lose. Since election they have laughed about it. The Board of Elections would not allow Hinchliffe-Smith challengers in Ward 11 booths even breaking a promise to do so and going so far as to ignore Judge Levine's mandamus (that they do so) issued about noon on election day November 5, 1921. There are about 1600 or 1700 votes, at least, unaccounted for. Affidavit after affidavit shows how most of these were gotten rid of. They were never placed in the Ballot Boxes! Clerks and judges brazenly opened voters' ballots and saw that they voted for others than FitzGerald and Fleming, piled them up on the tables and floors, and in many cases openly refused to place ballots in the boxes when voters insisted that they do so. Some of these latter (voters) more insistent than others were ordered out of the boots and when they refused to go, were escorted out by policemen who had been insured by their chief to take orders from the presiding judge in the booths. is illegal and outrageous conduct of judges and clerks, particularly charac-rized the section of the ward (11) bordering Central avenue on the north and south. During the last week of the campaign frequently, the writer was told by the "Starlight" Boyd-Tom Fleming workers that "you have the votes, Mr. Smith, but we will get you just the same." Many of the judges and clerks all along Central Avenue were relatives, business associates and friends of Councilman-candidate Fleming and some, men who held good paying jobs in the employ of the city.

It grew up under the administrations of Mayor Davis and Fitzgerald. This is no secret, but a fact generally known in the wards named and fairly well known throughout the city by political leaders. For about five years election results, not only in the wards named, but general city results, have been controlled and county election results Materially affected by The System. Ward 11 Central Body is composed of poor people but those with civic pride enough to raise among themselves to date, several hundred dollars which they have put in this effort to destroy The System at least as it affects ward 11. This organization alone employed Attorney Rhbert Crosser to take charge of its many cases. If the City Manager plan is to have anything like a fair show at the election, next year in the fall, The System must be destroyed—the booths must be "cleaned" of The System's clerks and judges. Just think of Candidate Councillor Fleming a wife, sister, son, law partner and many city and county job holders, whose positions he claimed to have secured for them, as clerks and judges in Ward 11 booths on November 8, 1921 and many of them for the last few years and one will easily see how the Davis-Fitzgerald-Muschke System is made up and worked throughout the city of Cleveland and county of Cuyahoga. Ward 11 Central Body is not working in this matter for any selfish or person al interest. Indeed, none will be attained by a favorable outcome of its fight backed by civic organizations of the city. The Central Body has civic pride in common with other local organizations. It is engaged in a big fight—an opportunity for Cleveland to purge itself of election officials, etc., that have made a force of more elections in the last five or six years than the people have any idea. "Powerful political influences were at work in the Eleventh Ward contest against Councilmanic Candidate Harry C. Smith last fall, said Attorney Crosser. By taking the cases to East Cleveland the prosecution will be entirely in our hands. In Cleveland we would have to turn over everything to the local authorities.

LUBELL, LERNER & CO., 296 Broadway, New York, N. Y. HAMPTON WILL GRANT COLLEGE DEGREES. Hampton, Va., May 23—Hampton Institute in its present organization offers programs of studies in our schools of normal and college grade and in two schools of secondary grade. For the completion of the Agricultural School standard, four-year college course (thirty-six months.) Hampton Institute will grant the degree of bachelor of science in agricultural education and for the completion of the Normal School standard, four-year college course, it will grant the degree of bachelor of arts in education. Appropriate diplomas will be awarded to students who complete all other courses. Warren K. Bloedget director of the Agricultural School, says: "The aim of the college course is to give young men an opportunity to develop within themselves industry, intellectual power, initiative, and ideals to fit them selves to meet the problems of present day rural life. Today the teacher of agriculture and the county farm-demonstration agent have a strong influence on the development of rural life. This course aims to prepare a man to become an agricultural teacher, a rural-school principal or a county farm-demonstration agent. It also offers a broad scientific and technical education for one who wishes to farm in a modern, progressive way. "It is not a course in one special branch of technical agriculture or science. More than one-half of the work is not in strictly agricultural subjects, but is in such subjects as English and social science, including economics. The plan is to prepare agricultural teachers through a broad acquaintance with the whole rural-life problem." Director Blodgett and his associates have arranged courses in six subject groups—English; social sciences; science; mathematics, physics and rural engineering; agriculture; and agricultural education. The Agricultural School equipment at Hampton Institute now includes an agricultural Library and study-room with more than 350 of the newest reference books and a number of scientific and farm magazines; the Whipple Farm of 70 acres with modern dairy barn, cremery, greenhouses, horse barn, poultry plant, and poultry breeding station and a horticultural department devoted to growing vegetables and fruits; the Shellbanks Farm of 850 acres, easily accessible to agricultural classes with a dairy herd of nine Holstel and Guernsey cows, two pure-bred bulls, three silos, twenty-eight horses and mules, tractors and modern farm machinery and over 150 pure-bred Duroc-Jersey and Perkshire hogs.

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. 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 to care 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 pen. 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.

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 wall 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 Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth.
