Bristol, Va., June 21.—The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, N. A., S. D., A., A. & A. filled out its committees yesterday morning. (Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. succeeded in clearing up business the first day. The Uniform Rank did not sleep in the camp Monday night, owing to the late arrival of so many of them, but last night the tents were in position and the boys were happy. The Grand Court, Order of Calantha convened in the lecture room of the John Wesley M. B. Church, Grand Worthy Counselor John Mitchell, Jr. presided, alternating with Mrs. Margaret H. Burroll, of Roonoke, Va., Grand Worthy Inspectrix. LARGE CROWD PRESENT. The vacancies on the committees were filled. The exercises last night at the John Wesley M. E. Church was a brilliant affair. Shr E. B. Brown was master of ceremonies and right well dhq he perform the task. Shr Charles H. Brown spoke. The choir rendered a selection. The church was packed. Mr. R. B. Clay, the well-known orator and lecturer introduced Mayor Gammon. He paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Clay. He also spoke of the friendly relationship existing between the white and colored people of Bristol. Two Mayors were scheduled to speak as one-half of Bristol is in Virginia and the other half in Tennessee with no visible line to tell one State from the other. THE MAYOR SPEAKS After the speaking, Sir U. S. G. Free introduced Grand Lecturer, W. B. P. Crowell, who made one of his characteristic addresses brimful of eloquence. As the Mayor had to leave to meet another engagement Sir Crowell stated that he was laboring under the handicap of responding to the address of one who was absent. A musical selection was rendered and a solo was admirably sung by Mrs. C. B. Banks, The G. C., John Mitchell, Jr. gave an extended account of the trouble of the Grand Lodge of Virginia with the Supreme Lodge, emphasizing the fact that this Grand Jurisdiction had done everything it could honorably do to end the trouble. THE INJUNCTION READ. The injunction granted by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia was read, declaring that the members of the Order in Virginia were entitled to all the rights and privileges of members of the Order. At the conclusion of the remarks, a collection was lifted for the Church. The benediction was announced, by Rev. J. W. Pryor, of Richmond, Va. THE NEXT DAY. Bristol, Va., June 22—The Grand Lodge met at 9 A. M. at the John Wesley M. E. Church, Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. presiding. The body was opened in ritualistic form. The report of the Grand Lodge officers being in order, the Grand Chancellor read his report. He went into the minutest dotall of the work during the past year and showed that the balance in the treasury of the Grand Lodge was highly gratifying. At the conclusion, many were on their feet to move that the rules be suspended. This motion prevailed by an unanimous vote and then came the motion to elect unanimously. This was carried, but not before many speeches had been made praising John Mitchell, Jr. FINE SHOWING. During all of this time, Vice Chancellor T. J. Prec, of Newport News, Va. occupied the chair. Rev. Dr. Thomas H. White, Shr W. B. F. Crowell, Shr U. S. G. Froe, Rev. L. J. Morris and many others figured in this discussion. Grand Keeper of Records and Scal A. V. Norrell, Sr. made a fine report, while Grand Master of Exchequer E. R. Jefferson thrilled the assemblage with the statement that the Grand Lodge showed a balance in its treasury of ($61,714.42) sixty-one thousand.

PEYTON'S RESIG- NATION MONDAY Consternation Reigns at The Sixth Mt. Zion Church Meeting Monday Night to Pass on Dr. Peyton's Resignation. The Divine in New Jersey. The action of Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton in precipitately tendering his resignation to the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist, Church has produced a sensation in that part of this city, known as "Old Jackson Ward." It seems that he has been in toileth with the Montclair congregation for some time and had accepted the call to the church there without previously advising the congregation here of his action. On this account, some of his members here are criticising him, while a host of others are hoping almost against hope that he can be induced to reconsider his determination to leave them and return to his flock here again. So far as the general purpose had been advised all was peace and harmony between the congregation and the distinguished pulpit divine. Everything was done for his comfort. THE PASTOR'S SALARY His salary is reported to have been $150.00 per months with $25.00 extra for expenses, his coal furnished, a parsonage provided for him and his store-room kept filled, in addition to these things, he had purchased in his these things, he had purchased in his own right a summer home in Washington Park, a suburban village, where he could spend his days and cool nights in retirement. Rev. Dr. Peyton had recently launched a drive to build a fine palatial new church, the estimated cost ranging any where from $150,000.00 down to $100,000.00. Some of the members of his flock are said to have looked with some apprehension at this venture, but the over whelming majority of the church seemed to be supporting him in the movement. ACCEPTED THE CALL. Then came the thunder-clap, the acceptance of a church in a northern city and afterwards a peremptory resignation which has upset the church. It can hardly be said that his enemies were dumbfounded for it is not credited that he had any in this large congregation in the church, which Rev. John Jasper founded. A church meeting will consider the resignation in all of its phases next Mondaynight. Whether it will be accepted to take effect at once is the question, although he has severed his connection with the church and is now the pastor of another church in New Jersey. Rev. Dr. Peyton left the church once before under similar circumstances. PULPIT VACANT The pulpit was kept vacant for him for a long time, until he formally gave up the church in Washington and came back to a mourning congregation. Will the Sixth Mount-Zion Baptist Church accept the resignation of Rev. Dr. Peyton next Monday night and will it declare the pulpus vacant and seek another divine to fill his place? If peace and harmony prevails; it is expected that this question will be decided and that other ministers will be invited in rotation with a view of finding a shepherd for a united people, who are trying hard to secure a man of God to lead them again.

B Gappove that in order to give Con- grea q Power to protect our citizens Mich’ no one could question, ws should doclde to amend our constl- tutign and should adopt the broad Corgan. the Thirtecath Amendment. “Neither olavery nor tavolun- foxy morvitude * * * shall extat within the Unttod Statea or any piace eubject te their jertodto- ‘thom. © Could we use better Inngeano to effect ear purpove than this? é : “No porvon shall bo doprived Of ltfo, Uberty or property with- oMt dno process of law."* ‘Thoen words would ssmura thts fundamental right to orery poron wndee tho protection of the Constt- tution. But thove words are already in the Constitution, tatroduced by the Itth -Amondmont. It to answered that tho first ton amondmente were passed to. protect the oftizen against abuse by the Federal Government, and must be construed merely aa ‘limitations and not aa grants of power. Kt is true that this has beon hold by tho Buprome Court in a sories of ensos, but that court has frequontly overruled {ta own dooisions, and no rule not required by the vory words of the Instrumont can prevail against the demand of ton milton citisons for tho protection of thelr dearest rights. It ta dowbtiow true that the foar of abuso by the gonoral government Joa to the adoption of the ten amond mente, but while tho first in torms limita’ the powor of Congross, the fifth contains no such language and ie rather an assortion of fundamont- al rights belonging to ovory citixen of tho now nation. Thoré Was no Treason why these should bo protect- od against the Fodoral Govornmont and bo left at the mercy of tho States, A foar tod the people to logistate, but thoir logislation must bo intor- proted dy ita (Words, ‘Tho courte havo again ang again rofused to In- torprot an act by its purposo as dis- closed by words usod in debate when it was passed, and have insiated that its meaning is to be found in {ts language—‘within tha four cornors of the instrumont.” If wo ato golng to Interprot the language of an inatiumont by the yrposes of those who framod it, Jot us romember for what tho American Rovolution was fought and our gov- ernment was founded. In ‘ingland from which we dosired to be sopa- ratod, it has beon woll safd that King, Lords, Commons and all tho powors of tho state oxisted to got twolvo men into the jury box,—in other worda to make suro that no man was doprived of life, Mborty or property without duo process of law. Gur fathors, who resisted what thoy considered tho “tyranny” of Mngland, who in thoir Declaration of Independence recited the inaltonable rights which they fought to securo, and who framod the Constitution in order to establish a government un- der which thove rights would bo safe, cortainty did not intend that tusir constitution should be inter- preted eo as to tako from tholr government the power to protect ita own citizens in tho enjoyment of those rights, Tho péople who after the Civil War made their colored follow-men thair follow-cltizens, and passod tho ‘Thirtoonth, Fourtoonth and Fiftoonth Amendmenta to secure their rights as citizona against hostile action by their Cormor masters, nover intonded that they should bo left to depend wpon thoso masterd or protection, and therefore gave Congress power to enforce the amendmonta. Fake the Declaration, the Constt- tution ang the Amondments togeth- or, ane purpose runs through them ali, and if the purpose governs, the languago must bo conatrued to carry it out. Wo ask that rule of in- torpretation bo applied which was annonnced by Mr. Justice Story in Prigg v. Commonwoatth of Ponnsyl- vania, 16 Patera 417 at 421: ‘How, then, are we to interpret the language ‘of tho clause? Tho tee answer ta, tn such a manner, a#, consistently with the words shall ¢aily and completely offoctuate the whole objects of it. If by one modo of intorpretation the right must be- como uhadowy and unsubstantial, and without any remodtal powor ad- equate to the ond, and by another modo it will attain ita just end and focure its manifest purpose it would seem upon principles of reasoning Mwaolutoly {rrealatible that the Intter ought to prevail. No court of jus- tice can be authorized 90 to construc any clause of the Constitution as to dofoat ita obvious ends, whan anoth- ec construction, equally accordant with the words and conse theroof, will enforee and protect them.” ‘Tho sownd rule ia that tho inton- tion must be found in tho words of the instrument, ‘Tho Fifth Amend- ment contains mot a word whioh makes ite language morely a timita- tion in the power of the Federal Government, It declares in the a. ee De EIVOR cull ‘offoot. If on the other hand the purpose of thoso who framed and adoptod {6 ampndment {s to provent, can any one doubt that tho Dyer bill carries out the purpose of the Four- teonth Amendmont? But It to said that Congrese ts not given: power to enforce the funda- montal righte of our citixons. It fs wWoll sottlod that an oxpress grant of power {9 not nosded. Mr. Juetico Bradley, in First Woods Ciroult Court Reports, p. $14 {u.‘doaling with the Cruikshank case waid: L “It ie undoubtedly @ eound pro- position that whenover a right ts guarantosd by tho Constitution of the United States Congross hae the power to provide for ita enforcemont oithor by implication arising from the correlative duty of Government to protect wherover a right to the citizen {a conferred, or under the general power (contained tn Art. I, wes. 8, par. 18), ‘to mako all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powors vostod by this Constitution in the Governmont of tho Uniteg States or any department or dfBicor thoreof."” | In Straudor v, West Virginia, 100 ee 8. 310, 311, tho language fe: “A right or an immunity, whothor eroatod by the Constitution or only guaranteod by it, oven without any jexprees. dologation of powor, may be protected by Congress." So In United States v. Reese, 92 U.S. £14, It was eatd by tho Chiot Justico; “Rights and immunities created by or depondont upon tho Conatitu- tion of the United States can be protected by Congress. Tho form and mannog of the protection may bo auch as Congridss in tho logitimate exorcise of its logislative discrotion shall provide. ‘Theso may be varied to meet the necossitios of the par- ticular right to be protected,” Tho oltizen of the United States fs ontitled to protection from the government to which ho owes alle- glance. The two are inseparable. The ossential righte of the citizen, assured by the constitution must be supported by the governmont which the constitution created to do the nation’s work, and to enforce and insure tho rights of its citizens, ‘TH CASES RELIED ON BY TILE +» OPPONENTS OF THB BILL, Let us now consider the language of the Suprome Court in tho eases which aro rolied upon to dofeat this enactment. They aro gathered in the caso of James vy. Bowman, 190 U. S. p. 136 et seq. Ex parte-Virginia has beon discussed already. In United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, at p. 664 the Court says: ..“The equality of the rights of cit- izona is a principle of republicantem, very ropublican govornmont is in duty bound to protect all its citizens in the enjoyment of this principle, if within its power. That duty was originally assumed by tho Statos; and it atill remains thero. Tho only obligation resting upon the United States is to see that the Statos do not deny the right. This the amendment guarantoes, but no more. Tho powor of the national govorn- ment is limited to the enforcoment of this guarantee.” ‘This rocognizeg tho right of Con- Brea to act when tho States “deny tho right." In the Civil Rights Cases, 109 U, 3. 3, at p. 18: “Until some State law baa beon passed, or somo Stato action through its aficers or agents has boon taken, advorse tp the rights of cttizons sought to be protected by the Four- teonth Amendment, no logislation of tho United States under said amond- mont, nor any procosding under such legislation can be called {nto actiy- (ty; tor the prohtbitions of the amendment are against State laws and acts dono under Stato authority, Of course, logislation may, and should bo, provided in advance to moot tho oxtgoncy when it arises but tt should be adapted to the mischiot and wrong which the amondment was intended to provide against; and that 9, Stato laws, or Stato action of somo kind, advorso to tho rights of citizana secured by the amond- mont. * © © ‘Tho logislation which Congress ta authorized to adopt in this bohalf fa not general legislation that {s, such as may be necessary and proper for counteracting euch laws as tho Atates may adopt or enforce, and which, by the amend- ment, they are prohibited from mak- ing or enforcing.” Again this rocognizes that Con- gresa may act, whon some State ac- tion through ite officors or agents has been taken adverse to tho rights of the citizen, Docided by a divided court and dealing with “civil rights” go called, not fundamental right like the right to life and liberty and due process Oe tee, eae anDeThy ORE Cue process THE RIOHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA may adopt Is only such as may be Proper “for countoracting such laws a8 tho States may adopt or onforee,” “Tho dontal of the rights given by tho Fourteonth Amondment need not be by logislation.” Mr. Justice Holmes tn Saundors v. Shaw, supra. | United Statos v. Harris, 106 U. 8. 629-630, “Whon tho Btato has boon guilty af no violation of its provisions; whou it has not mado or onforced any law abridging tho priviloges ot immunities of eltizons of the Unttod States; when no one of fta dopart. monte has doprivod any porson of life, Itborty or property without duc process of law, or doniod, to. any Porvon within ‘its jurisdiction, the equal protection of tho laws; whon, fon tho contrary, the laws of the Btate, av onactod by ita logielativo, and construed by {ts judicial, and administorod dy ite exocutive do- ‘partmonts, recognize and protect the righte of all perdone, the amondmont imposes no duty and confers no pow- er upon Congress." But whoro these conditions do not exist, Congrese must act. Ex parte Virginta recognizes the officers or agonts Sy whom the pow- ore of tho State are exorcised as the Btato, and provides that thoy shall not dony to any poreon within {te Jurisdiction the equal grotection of tho laws. United States v. Cres&ulpnk holds that tho obligation w®@h rests on tho United States f to soo that the Btates do not dony tho right of the citizens to the enjoyment of funda- montal rights, that the equality of the rights of ‘citizens ts a principle of ropublicaniem, that every part of the gorornmont ts bound to protect its eltizons in theso rights, and that tho power of tho national govorn- mont oxtends to tho onforeement of this guarantoo. In tho Civil Righte cases, ‘tho court recognizes tho fact that log- {lation may and, should bo provided In advanco to ‘moot tho oxigoncy whon ft arisos, Yut It should be adapt cd to tho mischief or wrong which it was Intondod to provide against, that is, Stato laws or Stato action of some kind advorso to tho rights ot tho citizons secured by the amondmont. United States ¥. Harris holds that tho Congress carnot act when no ono of tho departments of tho State has donled to any person within its Jurisdiction tho oqual protection of tho lawa, but whore such dontal has takon placo it can act. ‘All these cases recdgniz6 that conditions may atiso which ‘will ren: der action by Congress necossary to gntoreg the Buaranteo of the Four. teonth Amendment. ‘To hold othorwiso {6 to strike ont ontiroly the grant of power in tho amendment Itself. Wo have in hundrods of cases the oxocutive officers of the Stato, tho porsons who sare in possessioa of auspocted persons and, charged with tho duty of securing for them duo process of Inw, surrendering to tho inob these persons, making no of- fort to hold tho jail against attack, or to defend the prisoners — from bolug (uken out of their custody al- though {¢ must bo porfectly appar- ont to Chom that tho purpose of the mob iy to lyneh tho prisoner without due process of law. ‘Thoso officors: aro tho agents of tho Stato by which Its powor {a oxer- clsed, and by thelr acta toward thoso accused persons and the mob they deny thotr prisonora tho equal pro- tection of the law, and when their action Is ratified by their highor officers and by all the poople of the Stato, it ts clear that tho Stato has dente to these eftizens the equal protection of the laws. Unless Congross has power to dont with this situation, if it cannot rom- ady tho abuses which havo gono un- chockod for a gonoration and more, tho mantfost Intont of tho Fourteenth Amendmont is dofoated ontiroly and by refusing to pass this law either as it stands or amonded, if amondmont fa nooded, Congross says to the col- ored poople of this country, ‘We aro poworlesa to ald you and you can hold out no hope that wo can over help you. Alone of all the citizens of tho United States you may bo deprived of lif, Uborty or proporty whenever a mob of white mon chooses to murder or rob you." Should tho Constitution of the United States be so Interpreted aa to justify this conclusion? ‘Tho Supreme Court has never aus- tained auch an intorprotation and, in my judgment never will, t would soem cloar in any ovont that Congress should not refuse to do its duty because of the foar that the Supreme Court might not. agrao with it as to tho necossity and le- gality of tho act which tho Houso of Representatives has passed. Tho distinction ‘betwoon the cases which have hitherto boon presonted to the court and this caso 1g very clear, and it Congross arrs the Supreme Court will have the power to corroct tho orror, but if Congross refuses to act, it 1s reaponsible for the continuance of the infamous practico which tho bill fs framod to atop.

Reaching Heaven by the back-door route is an impossible task and yet some people are trying it. We are hearing from some of our prompt-paying subscribers and they are hearing from us with thanks. Some people do not know what they want themselves and they will not let other people advise them. Initiate the manner and methods of the best white folks and avoid the follies and foibles of the other kind. People are living now and they lived through the war, although many got into a cemetery during the same period. Some people are never satisfied. They are always wanting something and usually it is something they should not have. The colored race now possesses colored women, who are models of beauty, both in form and habits. Colored men, win the friendship of the white folks around you. It will pay you as an individual and help us as a race. Some people just "die" to get married and then they do not seem to have one da yof comfort or happiness after one week of the matrimonial state. Some people cannot get along single and some folks cannot get along married and some others cannot get along either married or singe. Some children support their parents and some parents support their children, even after they legally speaking have ceased to be children. Some people like to go to bed late and rise later. Getting up early is a habit, just like getting up late is a custom and a habit. --- The barbers are making styles now which will enable them to cut three heads of hair, where they formerly cut one. Preaching is at a high standard in the North, judging from the many able colored preachers leaving for that "neck of the woods". --- We hope to meet our friends in heaven. Should we meet some of our enemies in the same place it strikes us that one or the other will leave at once for the other place. We are waiting to hear something from that five million dollar Liberian Loan. Someone should urge the Congress to "play fair" in this matter and to do its duty. --- While admittedly only one man stabbed Conductor Burleson in South Richmond, two colored men have been absolutely identified, as the UNINTENTIONALLY BACKIING ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. The Richmond, Va., News Leader, in its issue of the 27th ult. says: When the Herrin murders first were inscribed in hysterical reports, The News Leader advised readers to suspect judgment until the details had been investigated by experienced correspondents. Such brutality as was charged against the miners was unbelievable. There now seems not the slightest doubt that twenty unoffending workers, denounced as "common strikebreakers" by President Lewis, of the mine workers, were set upon by a mob and murdered with a savagery Zulus would have envied. Men who were capable of committing such a crime were not above boasting of it. Therefore the state of mind displayed in Herrin since the murders is not surprising. The law respecting elements of the community doubtless condemn the outrages, but they dare not speak out. Their outlaws would be ruined if their lives would not be in actual danger; and when property is at stake, humidity is at its worst. The world is given to understand that Herrin has no apologies to make, sustains fully the men who participated in the murders and gives due warning that the same thing will happen again if other non-union miners are sent there. To add the final touch to defiance, the coroner's jury included three miners, took a access to watch the passing funeral of a unionist killed earlier in the wee, and adjourned after placing on the officials of the mine responsibility for the death of the vietnam. "We recommend," the verdict concludes, "that investigation be conducted for the purpose of fixing the blame upon the individual responsible." Another part of the verdict named the dead superintendent of the mine as the murderer of a striker. This shameless butchery of white men in the North is but a repetition of the wanton cruelty and savagery visited upon black men in the South. You cannot confine crime to any one section of the country. It was the hatred of the Negro yesterday and it is the hatred of white "scab-workers" to day. But the News-Leader openly advocates the exercise of Federal authority. In the face of this condition of affairs it says: Will the state of Illinois pretend to be powerless not only to proceed life, but also to accept this challenge to investigate murder? Will the Chicago Tribune confess itself unable to produce the state authorities to action—the self-righteous Tribune that forever is denouncing the "lawlessness" and "mob-rule" of the South? The suspicion is, of course, the Illinois executive may be disposed to act with extreme guilty party. And yet there is some talk of these kind of witnesses getting to heaven. ```markdown ``` The treatment of the colored voters in the northern and southern sections of this country by Republican leaders is leading to an open revolt on the part of their black allies. It is caused by the effort of these politicians to gain recruits from the Democratic ranks. It is openly asserted by many anti-machine Democrats that they would Join the Republican Party were it not for the affiliation of that organization with the Negro contingent of the Party. The latest news from the State of New Jersey is to the effect that the colored voters or a large proportion of them have seen fit to nominate Rev. William S. Smith, pastor of the Monumental Baptist Church of Jersey City as a candidate for the United States Senate. It is reported that there is a probability that a candidate will be nominated for Governor in this same state. Hon. Joseph C. Manning, the redoubtable southern white leader is favoring the movement. The indications are that the end is not yet. Colored people are becoming more independent and since the women now wield the elective franchise, the outlook is more favorable for the wielding of a powerful influence at the polls. THE BUTCHERING OF WHITE MEN. The massacre of non-union miners at Herrin, Illinois, Thursday, June 22nd is without a parallel in the history of the country, so far as white folks are conceived. Colored people in the Southland have been subjected to this kind of inhuman treatment, but it is the white folks turn now. It is useless to charge it to "moon-shine" liquor. Men without the bestial, inhuman instincts will not commit such heinous crimes, even when under the influence of liquor. The apologies for these murders are endeavoring to justify the crime with first one excuse and then another. Under our form of government, men, who had religious scruples about the war were incarcerated in the Federal prisons, while murderers and assassins are permitted to roam at large. The officials of the State of Illinois virtually admit their helplessness in this case as the men, who hold the country offices are shielding the men guilty of the crime. The verdict of the coroner's jury is THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA caution because they fear the resentment of labor at the polls. It there were any ground for this fear, admission of it would be disgraceful and cowardly. There is however, no ground whatsoever for any such apprehension. All organized labor worthy of the name must reprobate the crime at Herrin and will join in the demand for the establishment of the facts It continues: On every count it is proper that the state act. If Illinois is afraid to investigate, or can dodge behind some legal difficulty, what is to prevent a federal inquiry? No "federal right" directly is involved, perhaps; interference can be avoided on the theory that the general government cannot mediate in the affairs of the sovereign state. But does anyone imagine for a moment that if such an outrage had occurred in the South, congress would have bestified to act, or would have failed to, find an excuse for acting? Did I like delicacy of feeling stop the Senate from investigating conditions in the non-union fields of West Virginia? Where government wills to act, it usually can find a way. Unless an investigation hold and the responsibility placed where it belongs—it matters not whether it be on owners, on miners or on both—expect like crimes in towns controlled by ignorant, alien miners. Something even more fundamental is involved: To admit that government cannot act where the community will not, is in effect to sign a warrant authorizing that community to inaugurate anarchy at discretion. We agree with every word of ourable contemporary. The only difference is that it is the "white man's ox" being gored today. It was the "Negro's ox" gored yesterday. The primary and fundamental principle and purpose of all civilized governments is the protection of human life. Alongside on this one great purpose, all else sink into insignificance. If the State will not protect human life within its borders as guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States, then the Federal Government must step in and do so. This is the purpose of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now pending before the United States Senate. The situation is critical. Events have shaped themselves and demanded the passage of the measure. In the words of Grover Cleveland, "it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us." Shall we meet that condition? It seems to us that this ringing editorial of the editor of the Richmond, Va., News-Leader answers the question in the affirmative. an interesting contribution to the history of this country. Men, under a white flag who had surrendered their arms to their captors were cruelly murdered in gangs for no other cause than they sought work in places abandoned by men, who were on a strike for higher wages. There is no doubt, but what the miners had cause for striking. They had absolutely no cause, much less an excuse for slaying their hapless and helpless victims, some of whom were deceived into entering the mines and who "away down in their heart of hearts" sympathize with them. The only way to meet mob violence is for the organized forces of the law to meet violence with violence. When it is recognized that brute force must be met with force and that the majesty of the law must be maintained at any cost, the disgraceful happening at Herrin Illinois, will not be repeated during the next one hundred years. It is the duty of the Government, both State and Federal to hunt these butchers, these murderers of helpless humanity down and to punish them as provided by the criminal statutes of this Republic of ours.

Prominent Colored Leaders to Conference Prohibition and Law Enforcement. Washington, D. C., June 25—What promises to be one of the most important conferences ever held in America between colored leaders of national prominence will soon take place in Nashville, Tennessee under the auspices of the Board of Temperance. Probation and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which Board Bishop Wm. F. McDowell, of Washington, D. C., is Pres'dent and Dr. Clarence True Wilson, D. C., of Washington, D. C., is General Secretary. The exact date of this Convence will soon be announced in the Press. This conference will be truly representative in its character; to it will be invited many of the outstanding leaders of both races from widely separated sections of the country, in including all of the more prominent church organizations without regard to denomination, representative to the press, educational institutions, business and professional men and women, together with representatives of Prohibition, Social Welfare and other reform agencies throughout the country. Rev. Dr. J. N. C. Coggin, Secretary of the Department for Colored Work of the Board above named, has established national headquarters at 1723 Fifthenth street, N. W. Washington, D. C. for the purpose of promoting this movement; when interviewed by your Washington correspondent, Dr. Coggin said: "Prohibition and Law Enforcement will be the key-notes of the coming conference at Nashville. It will be inter-denominational. Our object is to study in a scientific and practical way the relation and attitude of our race group toward prohibition and law enforcement and to have expressions from men of influence and standing upon these questions which sovitially affect the present and future welfare of our common country. It has been decided to hold this conference because there seems to be a reaction against the enforcement of prohibition, which has taken the form of organized opposition and has brought reproach especially upon our racial group. The liquor and wet elements have always taken time and pain to impress upon the Negro the "lauvation" of his rights by the prohibition forces, and he is too often used as a cat's paw and let to be exploited by the wet forces. The time is ripe for a movement to counteract this influence. More over at the present time there seems to be an alarming and growing disregard for law and order and a decreasing respect for daily constituted authority; this has been large due to the fact that the laws written upon our statute books have not been properly enforced. The law, once written, must be upheld. The Negro, having suffered most keenly by reason of a disregard for law, should be taught that HE, of all men, SHOULD BE THE LAST TO VIOLATE IT. The question of compulsory education and similar matters that vitally affect the younger members of our race as well as the we fare of our race as a whole, will come up for consideration and study at this conference. The integrity and progress of the next generation will largely depend upon the moral bent of the youth of today. Something must be done while yet there is time, to render him aware of the evils of the present day and to save him from them. The idea of having such a conference which he comes respects will be the first of its kind ever held in the history of our Race, has been warmly endorsed and is being enthusiastically supported by representative men and women of both races. North and South East and West, and by welfare and reform boards throughout the country. The success of the conference is already assured and we invite the suggest on and cooperation of the public press, and all good citizens without regard to race discrimination, section or political affiliation. --- PR, J, R, A, CROSSLAND RETURNS Westchester, D. C. June 17—The return of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, Special Expert, Charge, Colored Trainees, U. S. Veterans Bureau, last Monday from Witwerforce University, marked the completion of an extended tour of inspection of vocational work among our Colored ex service men in the state of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois and Ohio. The inspection tour included not only the well known Negro institutions of learning, but many white situations in which colored men are being trained. This itinerary was one of the most difficult undertakings as assumed by our representative since on curing upon his duties in Witwerforce The opportunity for service and future good to the Negro race was interwoven with the trip of Dr. Crossland. As a result the future attitude towards our ex-service men is being definitely established by means of a homereasonal study of all educational facilities, schools, equipment, training opportunities, and systematized instruction. His particular mission was to determine whether our men have assigned to the right sort of training, whether their training is under competent instruction and has the training brought them definite social and economic values. The particular contribution that Dr. Crossland is making to Governmental efforts in educating the former service man is that the benefits derived from these courses when finished will point to a new day of civic avancement within the race. He wants the way open for the fullest expression of all the wit, energy, gen- lus, dexterity, skill, fosta, technique and art of every man of every city, every town and every country place. At this writing Dr. Crossland is busy engaged in submitting recommendations for training centers, Neuro-Psychiatrie, Tuberculosis training units. Out of these suggestions will come the moulded expression on educational policy as it affects our colored ex-service men throughout the United States. The greatest patience and study is being given this immediate problem by the Doctor and his efficient staff, as never before has this country, for that matter, ever enriched upon such a plan as educating our ex-service men in addition to the compensatory measure of pensions. It is his earnest desire, in the midst of this particular problem, to see that the social and economic life of our race is not only conserved entire, but that the peculiar educational background should be given every consideration in establishing schools for the training of our men. This is one of the most outstanding opportunities ever offered our group to mould the policy that affects so many men, women and children in its national scope. . . . Crossland is to be congratulated for having come to the City of Washington, alone and united and caring out from the rough, incongruous educational program a position holding so much potential good in training the members of our race in head, heart and hand. In the germination of this department, he round out only a few hundred-colored men taking vocational training. In the eight months of his office career he has created an office force of 8 or 10 specially prepared individuals and many competent co-ordinators, counselors, and nurses who are looking after the needs of ox-service men in training as well as increased the number of men in training 'to 3,775. We already see from the shaping of his beneficial plans and policies definite signs of progress and improvement. President Harding and Col. O. R. Probes, Director of the Veterans Bureau are to be congratulated for having appointed this efficient and able member of our race to such a user, and prominent position, which he so richly deserves and is eminently fitted. When Dr. Crossland was last interviewed he stated very definitely that "I am supremely happy to be engaged in work so vital in scope and so large in extent that it affects the 400,000 men who wore the uniform of their country try and their dependents. "In the short time that I have been engaged in this wk I can give concrete proof of the large measure of benefits secured for our gallant sons. I am too busy just now to tell you definitely what I am trying to do, but my plans are before the Bureau and I expect to put into operat on a program of vocational training which should meet with the approval of every sound-thinking citizen in the country."

Mathison.) Tex Rickard announced yesterday afternoon that he would not attempt to stage a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills till next year. He explained that he regarded the match as one of the most difficult he had ever undertaken and he would be very cautious and deliberate in his proceedure. Rickard and Kearns will meet this afternoon and sign articles for a bout to be held in 1923. These articles will give to Rickard a period of nets days, ending June 30, 1923 in which to name the battle ground. Rickard said he was aware that Mullins, manager of Wills was eager to have the bout staged this year and that it was the perfect right of Mullins to desire an early meeting. The Garden promoter said if Mullins could find a promoter to stage the match, well and good. But so far as he was concerned he would not make a move for a contest this year. Kearns corroborated what Rickard said and added that he also was moving carefully in the matter. He said he did not cure to do anything calculated to cause an upset of the boxing game in this State. For that reason he was going slowly. Dempsey retreated his readiness to fight Wills any time he was called upon, but declared that he left the matchmaking to Kearns. As the Boxing Commission has declared that it will be satisfied it Dempsey and Wills sign articles and will not care who promotes the bout or where it is staged, it is unlikely there will be any fault found with Rickard's program.

Herrin, Ill., June 22.—Half a dozen wounded men, some of them lying on deathbeds tonight gave an Associated Press correspondent the first actual eyewitness accounts of the mine fight last night and this morning which brought dozens of casualties, when 5,000 armed striking miners attacked, the Lester Strip mine near here, the mine being operated by imported workers and guards. The substance of the statements by the wounded who were among the boisged was that not a mine worker was injured during the fighting, but that the numerous killed were shot down in cold blood after they had surendered themselves and their arms. There was nothing from the union miners to contradict these claims. OPERATORS RESPONSIBLE Several of the men imported to work the mine absolved the strikers from blame, saying that the ones responsible were those "who sent us here under false promises that there would be no trouble" and that the "miners would not object." Some of the wounded interviewed were in the hospital here. Others were located in their homes through secret channels. Joseph O'Rourke, Chicago, commits sury clerk at the mine, gave the most vivid account of the fight. His story was related as hb tossed in pain from a half dozen bullet holes through his body. "I was sent down here by the Bert rand Commissary Company, of Chicago," he said. "I had no idea what I was running into. I don't much blame the miners for attacking us, for we were unknowingly being used as dupes to keep them from their jobs. We were given arms when we arrived and a machine gun was set up at one corn or of the mine. Guards were with us all of the time and most of the guards were tough fellows sent by a Chicago Detective agency. I understand the miners sent us warnings to leave the town or we would be run out. We never got them; perhaps the boss did. When we saw the miners approaching yesterday afternoon we did not know what to do. The guards prepared for fight; most of us workers wanted to surrender. FORCED TO SURRENDER Through the night the bullots rained in on us. We sought shelter as we could. The miners climbed upon the coal piles and earth embankments and we were unable to see them. The guards kept firing, but most of us hid. Then the miners blew up our pumping station. We had no water and our food supplies were in a freight car in the hands of the miners. About sunrise we put up the white flag. The miners poured in and we surrendered our arms. "Up to this time not one of us had been injured that I know of, although I understand that several of the miners had been shot. The miners spread out thickly and tied us together. In groups of three and six. The tied men then were rushed off in different directions. Some of them tried to run, but they were shot down as fast as they moved. "One miner asked who was the machine-gun operator. Some one pointed him out and he was shot in his tracks and his body laid over the machine gun. They tied five men with me, took us out on the road and told us to run. We ran and hundreds of bullets followed us. We staggered on but finally three of our group fell, pulling the others with us, tied down, several but let holes be in me already. SHOOT HELPLESS MEN "I laid there while men came up and fired more shots into us from three or four feet. Then everything went black. I woke up later and bogged for water, but there was not any. I remember being dragged along the road, but I don't know what by. I then brought us to the hospital." O'Rourke's story was confirmed by S. P. Williams and Ed. Green of Chicago two of the men tied with him, who are still alive. The other three were killed. These were the six found by the Associated Press correspondent this morning, and whom he tried to take water to, only to be re fused permission to help them. James - E. Morris of Johnston City Ill. a young miner in the attacking forces, told the correspondent the attack had been spontaneous and that when the men went to the mine they did not really stop to think of the bloodshed that might follow. MINER CONFIRMS STORY He was wounded early in the right. "I was on my way to Herrin," he said "when I met a gang of fellows. They said they were on their way to run out those scabs at the mine. I joined them and others kept joining us, until there must have been 5,000. Most of us were armed, and those who were not, soon got their guns. When we got to the mine we spread out around it. We had no real leaders; every one was working for himself. It was just one big mob out to get the men who were running the mine. I am not sure who fired the first shot, but after that it was real war. The fire kept up for hours I guess and several of our men were hit. Late in the evening I was shot in the arm. The wound was not serious and I walked back to where a group of our men were standing and they sent me here in a car. I was not there but I understand most of the killing were innocent men. It just the old I'm sure some of those scabs really was done after the mine surrendered. story of a mob getting started." Other miners confirmed Morris's statements. Offourke is one of the nine men in the hospital. Morris is the only miner and seven of the imported workers are expected to die, physicians said. The hospital was carefully guarded all doors being locked to prevent any possible attack on the wounded men. Only persons who could prove they had business in the hospital were admitted. M. S. M. DR.

At the conclusion of the reports, the various committees took up their work and the Grand Lodge took a recess for the parade, which took place at about 3 P. M. The military department had some trouble in securing a band. Finally WILLIAMS MRS. P. M. B. HODGE, Grand Worthy Protector arrangements were made and the Radford Band put in appearance in the morning, much to the relief of the marchers. It performed its duty well. The parade was spectacular. Many automobiles were in line, as Bristol is an automobile town. There are no street-cars here now as they could, not be operated at a profit. After parading the principal streets the paraders, led by Brigidier General John Mitchell, Jr. and his staff, consisting of Col. John R. Chiles, Col. R. C. Mitchell, Col. A. A. Tennant, Col. W. H. Willis of Newport News; Col. James H. Ammons, Jr. and Major W. Jerome Davis reached the baseball park, where a fine game was played between the home team and visitors from a nearby neighborhood. GREAT SUCCESS. The affair was a success. In the meantime the Radford Band, in the grandstand played familiar selections. The visiting knights were delighted. It was thought that the Distance would cut down the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court attendance to skeleton proportions, but this proved, not to be the case. The visitors were outspoken in their praise of the wellcome extended to them. The Richmond Planet. Please permit me to thank you publicly for the Editorials published in your last issue (6-24 23) relative to the published statements of the West End Assault Case and the Unfortunate Killing of Conductor Burleson by the Richmond Times Dispatch and News Leader. Yes, you struck the right key note, when you said that our papers can do a great deal of harm by printing in glaring head lines things to incite race riots. No one abhor and deplore crimes and lawlessness done by any race and especially our race more than myself. But in many instances the way in which some of these Journals publish the account cause more blood shed and make bad matters worst. Therefore, I move that all such papers, journals, magazines etc., be boycotted from our homes, and that our support be given to those papers and Editors who believe in a fair play and will write accordingly. I also stand ready and willing to begin right now a campaign against all such papers. I am sure that out of these forty five states in which I have spoken some one knows me, and will pass the "word on." Write again BUY YOUR COAL FROM THE CRUMP AND WEST COAL CO.

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been offered by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicine. 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 fore 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. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair.

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 Medicine 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 M. Grace St. Richmond Va.
