Richmond Planet

The National Association of Colored Women, Richmond, Va. Aug. 6-11th, '22 THE RICHMOND PLANET MECHANICS BANK READY TO REOPEN AWAITING AUDITOR'S REPORT--UNFORESEEN DELAY EMBARRASSES--DEPOSITORS ANXIOUS TO HELP INSTITUTION. Baptist Ministers Active--White and Colored Folks Rallying. --- VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 38 MECI AWAITING RASS The only cause of the delay in the reopening of the Mechanics Savings Bank is the delay in receiving the report of the audit company, which the receivers temporarily acting employed to audit the accounts of the Mechanics Savings Bank from the time of their last audit. They are now completing this work and the report will be ready for filing certainly by the first of next week, when by mutual agreement the bank will be returned to its previous management. In the meantime, the colored leaders have been active and the white people have been anxiously helpful. Members of both races speak well of the Mechanics Savings Bank and all anxiety as to its future has disappeared. CLAMORING FOR PAPERS The mass-meeting at the City Auditorium is now admitted to have done "a world of good". In informing the public relative to the actual situation of affairs. In the meantime the Planet has been issuing daily extras, which have been readily purchased by both white and colored people. The stew-moving cylinder press was not able to meet the demand made upon it and supply the large number of news-boys clamoring for the issue to satisfy the people. The depositors of the institution have philanthropically showed but little concern about the outcome, feeling satisfied that their depositors were amply protected by the bank's assets. THE DECREE The following extract from Judge William A. Moncree's order will explain itself and give an accurate insight into the general situation: "And it being represented to the Court that the closing of said bank by the plaintiff was because of the presence in its assets of obligations of the Bonded Realty Company Inc., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further represented to the Court that there is a reasonable prospect of the defendant being able, within a short time, of satisfying the plaintiff as to said obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., and as to the entire solvency of said bank, it is further ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, together with a statement of the assets and liabilities as said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the offenders, or others on its behalf, with a view of satisfying the requirements of the plaintiff and effecting a prompt discharge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., to its proper authorities." BAPTIST PREACHERS UNANIMOUS The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity met Tuesday, July 25, 1922 on call of its President, Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church to take action relative to the matter. The meeting was called to order shortly before 12 o'clock. President Payne reviewed the situation and announced that when he heard of the affair, he immediately warned his people to suspend judgment assuring them that their money was safe. He gave his reasons for his belief. At the conclusion of his remarks, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., moved that a committee of five he appointed to draft resolutions concerning the matter. This was seconded by Rev. T. J. King, D. D., pastor of the Fifth St. Baptist Church, and the following committee was appointed by the chair: Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, Rev. C. A. Cobbs, Rev. I. H. Hines, Rev. W. B. Ball, Rev. T. J. King. COMMITTEE REPORTED.

C. Dear Sir: I was much interested in what you had to say in opening your campaign for Senator in the State of Michigan, regarding human rights as compared with property rights. I have read every report of your opening speech of last Saturday. That you have given much study to many of our problems, chiefly those affecting taxation, is plainly apparent, you also treat on what you call "Newberryism," and concerning it say, "The people of Michigan mean to set the State right in the eyes of America," etc. You also demand the enforcement of prohibition acts; you suggest an amendment of the Esch-Cummins Transportation Act; you referred to our navy, to Federal taxes, to transportation problems, and, in fact, to almost everything else mentioned in the Republican national platform, except some legislation such as the Dyer bill affords, to set the nation right in the eyes of the world, as well as to set "Michigan right in the eyes of America." Did you purposely omit to tell the people what you were doing in Congress to stop the great national mob law evil, or was it an oversight? Since I wrote you my last letter several lynchings have been reported from various parts of the country, the stories of lynchings are mentioned in the press almost daily, and I must assume that by this time you have read the wonderful brief in support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill prepared by the Hon. Morefield Story, formerly president of the American Bar Association, and that you, like myself, are now convinced that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is constitutional. I confess that I was a little in doubt myself as to the authority of Congress to pass the desired legislation, but that doubt has been completely dispelled after reading Mr. Story's great brief. This brief was filed with the Senate committee after the Dyer bill had passed the House; it was published serially in the Richmond Planet, of Richmond, Va. I presume the Senate committee had it printed, but if you have not already received a copy, nor have read the brief, and it is not accessible, I shall be glad to procure you a copy of the same. You may think that the only people in Michigan interested in abolishing mob law are of Negro persuasion, but I assure you that if that is true you are entirely wrong in your conclusions, for there are many thousands of white voters in this State who abhor the practice of mob rule in America, which we, ourselves, so recently escaped an example at Jackson, but it strikes me that human rights come first unless you have a true interest in every citizen in his constitutional rights, I for one shall be actively opposed to your election to the most august representative body in the world, the United States Senate. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. (Preston News Service.) Chester, S. C., July 27.—During the heavy rain and electrical storm at Van Wyk last Monday, William Crawford was killed by lightning. Crawford and others working in a brickyard too, shelter under the eyes of the Van Wyk Depot when the storm came up. A bolt of lightning struck the chimney of the depot, passed down inside the building and out by a post under the building by which Crawford was sitting. He received the full force of the bolt with fatal results. The others were shocked. A brother of William Crawford was shocked unconscious and remained so for several hours, but is reported recovering from the stroke. The depot was set fire, but the flames were soon extinguished. --- CLAIMS KLAN ORDERED AD CONTRACT CANCELLED. St. Louis, Mo., July 27.—According to reports, Robert I. Young, of St. Joseph, Mo., candidate for nomination for United States Senator on the Democratic ticket, says: "I received a notice from the Klu Klux Klan to remove a campaign advertisement which I had contracted for insertion in the Jewish Record, a local Hebrew language newspaper. The reason given in the Klan letter was 'because the Jew is after the almighty dollar and to hell with the country.' It is said that officials of the paper announced that suit will be filed against Young to collect the sum of money due the paper under the contract. FIREMAN HURT IN WRECK (Preston News Service.)

The depositors need have no fear for every dollar on deposit is safe. for every dollar on deposit is safe. When the bank reopens do not draw your money out, as this will hurt the bank more than anything else. Instead of lining up to draw your money out, line up to make new deposits and increase those you have there. Do not talk about the bank except Do not talk about the bank except it to say a good word for it. The Mechanies Bank is all right, it will not fail. It must not fail. PLEADS FOR HER SON.

Portsmouth, Va., July 24, 1922. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. President, Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Va. My dear friend and brother: I heard little more than a week ago on my return from Ohio, that the doors of the Mechanics Savings Bank had been closed, you can't imagine how much it grieved me. I could not believe that there were any irregularities about it. I soon straightened up and said, that whatever should be the difficulty or whatever be required to open the doors again, John Mitchell would do it, for I have confidence in his honor and ability to do big things and I thank God that I see things coming to pass. I rested in the faith that I had in you and your many friends, white and colored, in and about Richmond, I am at your command for everything in my power. Sincerely yours, M. E. DAVIS, Presiding Elder of Portsmouth District, A. M. E. Church. FAMOUS EGPYTIAN SENDS BEST WISHES FOR A VICTORY Now York, 25th, July, 1922 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr, Richmond, Va.

T. Johnson Presides-Mrs. Maggie L. Walker Proposes a Money Rally Dr. T. J. King Speaks-Meeting Unanimous WANTED TO DEPOSIT MONEY! In the meeting last night, Mr. A. M. Pullen, who is auditing the Mechanics Savings Bank, stated that on Friday, a colored woman entered the Bank with ($1,800) Eighteen Hundred Dollars to deposit in the institution. He told her that they were auditing the Bank and to bring it back next week, when it would be received. This was reregarded as a remarkable exhibition of the confidence shown by the colored people in this institution. He made the remark to a white friend of the institution and this morning, he informed John Mitchell, Jr. of the happening. TWO A largely attended meeting of the depositors, stock-holders and citizens was held last night at the City Auditorium. The Municipal Brass and Reed Band furnished music while the well-known Choir Leader Joseph Matthews and Mrs. Mary E. Satterfield rendered special selections. Many white bankers were present. The meeting was called by the President and Board of Directors of the Mechanics Savings Bank. When President John Mitchell ascended to the rostrum, he was accorded an ovation. He approached all of the white guest and greeted them cordially, inviting the bankers to the rostrum. They were comfortable in the seats occupied by them. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS The Municipal Band played a selection, after which prayer was offered by Rev. H., Powell, of Washington, D. C. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church was introduced by President Mitchell as chairman of the meeting. On motion of Attorney J. Thomas Hewin, a committee of seven was appointed to draft resolutions expressing the sentiments of the meeting. The following were named: J. Thomas Hewin, chairman; J. H. Binford, D. D., Holland Powell, D., D. W. Hughes, M. D., A. W. Holmes, Mrs. Maggie J., Walker, J. W. Thompson A SMALL BEGINNING! Prof Matthews and Mrs. Mary B, Saitferlee sang "Hear Us, O Father," Chairman W. T. Johnson then introduced John Mitchell, Jr., who arose and was rapturiously applauded as $ \mathrm{h}_{0} $ proceeded to explain the existing situation as it applied to the Mechanics Savings Bank. Mr. Mitchell then related the history of the trouble as published in The Planet. He said that in addition he and his associates had founded the Mechanics Savings Bank with only ( $ \mathrm{1,600,00} $ ) Sixteen Hundred Dollars. That it was founded in 1901, before the establishment of the Banking Division of the Corporation Commission. The colored people did not do a large enough commercial business to support a bank and accordingly, he had to supplement the business by investments in real estate THE OTHER COMPANY When the Banking Division came into existence, it demanded that the Bank dispose of its real-estate, that is, "get rid of it." Accordingly the property was placed, among the several real-estate agents for sale and much of it has been sold, but it had to be held until prices were realized sufficient to prevent a loss. The orders became so insistent that the Bonded Realty Company, Inc. was organized and the property transferred to this concern in order to come within the provisions of the law. Soon, the Banking Division objected to the operating of this department by the Bank, although no expenses for salaries, commission or fees were entailed. INCREASED IN VALUE Every piece of property purchased had appreciated in value and during the twenty years of operation not a single piece of real-estate had sold for less than it cost the Bank. He then emphasized the fart that he had never received one penny either as commission or fees for purchasing property for the Bank either directly or indirectly. He had bought the building at 4 West Broad street for ($11,500.00). Eleven Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars and sold it for ($25,000.00). Twenty-five Thousand Dollars cash. He purchased 310 L. Broad street for ($17,750.00). Seventeen Thousand, Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars and sold it last year for ($60,000.00). Sixty Thousand Dollars. This was an increase and a profit to the Bank of $42,250.00. THE STRAND THEATER He purchased the Strand Theater for $112,500.00 and he had been told that the building could not be erected now for less than $200,000. It was a demonstrated fact that property values on Broad street doubled every ten years. He had been called to task for purchasing this theatre with the bank's money. When a child is deformed, its limbs must be straightened by slow processes, to do so at once would be to break the limbs and kill the child. This applied to this peculiar colored banking institution. He had realized and stated that the Mechanics Savings Bank could not come under the strict rules of the Banking Division until its deposits aggregated $500,000.00. HOW TO RESUME. It was only last year the deputy reached this amount and when the Chief Examiner looked over the affairs he said he could see no reason way the bank should not make money. He would co-operate with the Board and take charge of its affairs. He explained that every day's delay injured the bank. When a distinguished President noticed Congress wrangling over the resumption of specie payments, he sent word that the best way to resume was to resume. The best way to open the echanics Savings Bank was to open the Mechanies Bank was to open white folks here wanted the bank open, it could be opened without recourse to this quibbling. MRS. WALKER'S PROPOSITION He thanked all who had helped in this matter and he declared the unanimity of the white and colorate people upon this question was surprising. He announced that One Hundred Thousand Dollars worth of bonds on the Strand Theatre were available. They would be ready for sale at the Mechanics Savings Bank as soon as it opened. Upon concluding his remarks he was rapturously applauded. Rev. T. J King, D. D., pastor of the Fifth St. Baptist Church then spoke in support of the Mechanics Savings Bank and its President and he was heartily applauded. He was followed by Mrs. Maggie L. Walker who was accented on ovation. She paid a glowing tribute to President Mitchell and the Mechanics Savings Bank and concluded her remarks by proposing a Rally Day for the Bank. Every one was urged to go to the Bank, not to draw money out, but to put money into the institution. There was a ready response, then the Committee on resolutions made the following report: Whereas, the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission saw fit to require a mortgage guarantees for the sum of ($83,500.00) Eighty-three Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars to secure certain unsecured notes of the Bonded Realty Co., Inc., which company was a holding company for the bank and was a matter of fact, if not in law, a part of the bank and Whereas, the Banking Division agreed to relieve the Directors of any liability and the President was to give a mortgage lien on real estate for the amount which lien was duly executed and which was agreed to be accepted, if the interest on the amount, which interest was not in the original bond, was included and assurances were given that the Mechanics Savings Bank would be permitted to continue to do business, and Whereas, the signing of the mortgage notes and the mortgage without the interest provision was not satisfactory to the Banking Division and a temporary receivership has resulted and. Whereas, the Mechanics Savings Bank was meeting all of its obligations, paying all checks presented over the counter or coming through the Federal Reserve Bank and. Wheras, the Clearing House Association of Richmond, for the first time in its history has come forward with an offer of aid to the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars upon the presentation of the proper security, which security the Mechanics Savings Bank is prepared to furnish and. Whereas, each day's delay works a hardship upon the depositors and parlyzes the spirit of thrift amongst our people, and Whereas, there can be no valid reason for the continuation of the receivorship, parties at interest waiting only for an audit of the Bank, Therefore, Be It Resolved, First, that we the depositors, stock-holders, association business interests appeal to the Banking Division, the State Corporation Commission and its representatives to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Negro was told at the State convention in Norfolk, a year or more ago, that the party was done with him and it is said Seventh District leaders were a bit surprised to see several black men at Luray from Charlottesville. Mrs. Della R. Brown, well known Chicagoan who is touring the country with the Brown Metropolitan Singers, spent the fourth of July at Lake Madi minn, where the singers furnish the music for the chataqua on that day. The principal address was consent to a termination of this condition and permit the Mechanics Savings Bank to open for business at the earliest possible moment. Resolved, Second, that we pledge ourselves not to withdraw our holdings from the aforesaid institution, but on the other hand pledge our support by the depositing of more money to aid the Bank. Resolved, Third, that we ask task this be done at once, without the usual formalities and delays. Resolved, Fourth, that we tender our thanks to Col. Thomas B. McAdams, President of the American Bankers' Association, Col. W. M. Addison, President of the Clearing House Association of Richmond and their associated banks and representatives for their substantial aid and support. Resolved, Fifth, that this action on their part and on the part of the white people of this community who have spoken in our behalf and in behalf of the Mechanics Savings Bank has tended to weld together the proverbial bond between the races. Resolved Sixth, that the Banking Division be requested to permit the documents to be signed in such a manner as will subserve its purpose in rehabilitating the bank. Resolved Seventh, that we please our united support to the President and Officers of the Mechanics Savings Bank in placing this strong institution again upon its feet, to the end that it may continue to promote thrift and prosperity amongst the colored people of this community. Resolved Eighth, that we commend and thank the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Evening Dispatch and the News-Leader for their support in this crisis of our people. Signed: J. W. THOMPSON, HOLLAND POWELL. J. H. BINFORD. W. H. HUGHES, M. D. A. W. HOLMES. MAGGIE L. WALKER. J. THOMAS HEWIN. Chairman. On motion, the resolutions were unanimously adopted. Then Rev. J. H. Binford, D. D., announced the benediction. The Municipal Band struck op an air and tht delighted multitude proceeded to the outside and enterc- automobiles and boarded street-cars for home.

Seventh District Rulled Against Black Delegates From Charlottesville. Winchester, Va., July 23.—The "brother in black" again has been given on to understand that he no longer is wanted at conventions of the Republic can party in Virginia, in spite of his longing to be at home with the G. O. P. fold. When the Seventh Congressional District convention met last Thursday at Luray and nominated State Senator John Paul of Harrisonburg, to oppose Representative Thomas W. Harrison, Democrat, Winchester in the November election a large part of the convention's time was taken up in waiting for a report from the committee on credentials, before which two contests were argued. Convention leaders merely made a perfunctory anouncement, to the effect that the Kline delegation from Charlottesville had been seated and that a contest from Warren County had been withdrawn in the interests of harmony. It has since become known that the credentials committee had to deal with the Negro question again. In fast it required more time to settle the Charlottesville contest than it did to get thru with all other conventions of work. There were two full and complete delegations from Charlottesville each claiming to be entitled to the seven votes allotted to that city. One of these delegations, headed by a man named Cox, had 2 faithful and loyal Negro Republicans in their number. The convention was informed by the committee that it was the sense of the committee that the convention, naming the Negroes was irregular and a "rump" affair. The result was the seating of the "lily white" delegation. While it required a lot of time to reach this conclusion, it was said the members of the convention were by no means surprised at the committee's report. WIZARD OF KLAN DENIES THE UNMASKING OF KNIGHTS. Says Members Can Wear Cos'umes Anywhere Except in Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—Edward Clarke, imperial wizard pro tem of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, late day issued a statement denying that he had unmasked the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia or any part of the country. The only thing he did, Mr. Clarke said, was to issue an executive order applying only to Georgia, "stopping for the time being all parades and the use of the mask and costume for any purpose in Georgia by the klansmen except in the klaven or lodge room of the klan." Emphasizing that the executive or der was confined to Georgia, Mr. Clarke in his statement, said: "The correspondence between myself and Governor Hardwick regarding the Ku Klux Klan published in the Sunday papers has been grossly twisted and I is causing considerable misunderstanding on account of this fact. "First. I have not unmasked the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia or anywhere else in the nation; the only thing I did was to issue an executive order stopping for the time being all parades and the use of the mask and costumes for any purpose in Georgia by klansmen except in the clavern or lodge room of the klan. "Second. The order affected Georgia only, and the statement which has been broadcast that it applied to the entire nation has caused a flood of telegrams to be received at headquarters and considerable confusion in the ranks of the organization all over the country. "In explanation of the reason why I issued the order stopping parades and the use of the mask and costume in Georgia for the present time, I desire to say that I did so because of concerted efforts at the present time in Georgia to make it appear that the Ku Klux Klan is either directly responsible for acts of lawlessness in the state or indirectly responsible because of initiation of our costume by lawless elements or by those seeking to discredit our organization. I thought the best way to clear up such a situation was to issue the executive order which I did and when I discussed the matter with the Governor he agreed with me that this would solve the problem." WHITE ROOTLEGGER KILLED BY MAN HE SHOT TWICE. White Man Pedlled Liquor at Colored Church Meeting. MOONSHINE SELLEER DRUNK After Being Hit in Two Places, Black From Ground Fired and Took Life of Victim—No Warrant Issued. --- Martinsville, Va., July 24.—Walker Spencer, white an alleged bootlegger, was shot and instantly killed by John Robin Hairston, colored, at Rock Run colored church near Fieldgate Sunday afternoon. Hairston had been shot twice by Spencer and was lying on the ground when he fired the shot which killed Spencer. As soon as the news reached Martinsville, the Commonwealth's attorney and Sheriff B. F. Stultz went to the scene of the killing to investigate. Evidence developed the fact that Spencer had brought sixteen gallons of moonshine liquor and sold it to the colored people at the church. Then in a drunken fit he began firing at Hairston, shooting him twice, in the abdomen and in the arm. Hairston's mother and father were trying to prevent him from shooting him again when Hairston from the ground fired the shot which instantly killed Spencer. Hairston was brought to the Lucy Lester Hospital, Martinsville where it is thought he will recover. No warrant has been issued against him. CHICAGO NOTES. Mrs. Eliza Jackson, State Grant Queen of A.

BODDY TURNS BOOK WORM Negro Slayer to Read All He Can in Last Four Weeks of Life. Luther Boddy, Negro desperado, who killed Detective Sergeants Francis Buckley and William Miller in Manhattan, is going to read all the books he can during the remaining four weeks he has to live. Warden Lewis E. Laws of Sing Sing announced yesterday that the young murderer prefers fiction. Soon as he finishes one book he seems to the prison library for another. "I'm going to read all I can," explain Boddy. Only good books are supplied to him. He gets nothing romantic or melodramatic or lurid.

BUILDING NEW SHORTER HALL (Preston News Service.) Wilberforce, Ohio, July 17. -On the site where the first significant building for higher education of Negroes, was built nearly four score years ago a modern, up-to-date college building, is being erected at the cost of $275,000 Early last winter the famous old Shorter Hall was burned down. The officials of the University got active and appealed to members of the race, former graduates of Wilberforce University and philanthropically mlned white friends and on June 15th last corner stone was laid for the new structure. It is said that the contractor has promised to have the building ready for use in ten months. Officials of the university say that they plan to dedicate this massive structure at the commencement exercises in June 1922. A consorted effort is going on throughout the entire A. M. E. church connection to raise funds for the erection of this new building. The hearty response given by Negroes throughout the country is significant for it presages a noteworthy step forward in self-help and race pride. Wilberforce alumni in the various cities through out the country are said to be forming clubs and raising money for the building fund. Bishop Johsa H. Jones, on the Third Episcopal diocese is putting forth every effort through the ministers of his diocese to raise funds. President Gregg is doing no less to raise money for the building fund.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.60 SATURDAY..... JULY 29, 1922 This is a selfish world and people living in it soon realize fully the fact. The more you di for some people; the more some people want you to do for them. We cannot win by abusing people, but we can succeed at times by praising them. White people, who are friendly to colored people are usually forward in showing their friendship. Be polite and obliging to white folks and you will be polite and obliging to colored folks. The outlook is bright for us all, if we but trust God and act in accordance with his wishes.. The civil in this world sometimes overbalances the good, but the good is ten times more powerful. You can get along temporarily by misrepresenting the facts, but disas ter is bound to overtake you in the long run. You can easily distinguish your friends, when you get into trouble and your enemies, when you get out of the same. The outlook in this country at the present time is stormy, although finance is in evidence and money more plentiful. People in heaven do not bother about the people in this world. They know that they will either come up there or go down to the other place. The outlook for peace in Europe is not bright. We hope that happiness may be noticeable over there during the next fifty years. We worry sometimes, when we should not do so, but we are rarely joyous when no opportunity presents itself for our being joyous. When southern white folks are for you, there is a Rock of Gibraltar to sustain you. When they are against you, then "Good Lord, have mercy!" --- President Warren G. Harding had the time of his life with the Congress and he is having the time of all his life with the striking miners and railroad men. Beware of people with an "itching palm." They will take all the money they make themselves and get away with all you earn if you permit them so to do. The Administration is blamed for: practically everything, when the proposals made by the Administration are ignored and disregarded by the Congress elected to sustain it. We advise colored people to make friends with the white folks in their communities and he friendly towards each other. This will bring about a world of contentment and happiness. Some people grumble if they are sick and they grumble if they are well. The only reason they did not grum- NEW ELEMENTS IN CONTROL The new political elements, who now seem to be in control in this State are determined to "go the limit" in the advancement of their "rule or rule" policy. We are of the opinion that for Congressman Slemp to continue longer the battle against these political interests would result in his physical and political undoing. The best way is to let the people convince this element, who seem to be following blindly the lead of Col. Henry W. Anderson in his announced war upon the colored contingent of the Republican Party. That colored men will effect new alliances goes without question. President Warren G. Harding, in his Birmingham speech announced his policy. The "illy white" element of the Republican Party is flouting that policy, ble when they were born is because they could not talk. Prayer helps much when one is in trouble and one's own efforts rightly directed should always accompany prayer. Then one's plea for succor will be answered quickly. The news that the Seventh Congressional Convention which met at Wrenchester, Va., recently seated the "illy white" delegation from Charlottesville and barred out the one, which has two colored delegates will be interesting information to those, who have been advised as to the position of certain Republican leaders, both State and National upon this all important question. It may furnish too some idea as to why the Hon. C. Bascom Slemp has decided to conserv his health by taking a trip to the Pacific Coast. Just when his valuable political services are most needed in this State, ```markdown ``` The announcement that the Ku Klux Klan won a sweeping political victory in Texas and captured the Democratic machine will be no surprise to those citizens, who have watched the trend of affairs in the Lone Star State. Recognized candidates of the Ku Klux Klan have flaunted their principles and precepts and defied the local authorities to such an extent that the situation is acute. Still, it is a most significant omen that white Texans are bold enough and brave enough to stand up for the right and defy this element, which wuld overthrow our system of government and set up in its stead a murderous combination, which places its organization above the law. Colored people can do but little in this case, but they can express their sympathy with the forces of law and order and hold themselves in readiness to answer all appeals, that may be made to them by this class. The forces of evil are ever active, but the forces for good are strong enough to overcome and make right eventually triumphant. These last few days have been strenuous ones for us. Following the advice of the Chief Examiner of the Banking Division of the State Corporation, "Let us forget the past," we are doing all in our power to follow his common-sense suggestion and look to the future. During this trying ordere we have been cheered by the evidences of friendship, which have been shown from every quarter. So general and spontaneous have these evidences been presented that we feel that we have been in a generous measure compensated for the days and nights of worry, to which we have been subject ed. We have left the matter in God's hands and He has raised up friends for us from least expected quarters. We shall endeavor to prove that we are worthy of the confidence imposed in us and we again repeat the injunction, help and not hinder us. Speak words of encouragement and good-will and say nothing that will redound to our detriment or that of the financial institution, which for twenty-one years has weathered the storms of adversity and criticism. STRIKE CONDITIONS. The great strike of the coal miners and railroad men is increasing in intensity and the United States Government is about to take charge of the coal mines and operate them for the benefit of the public. This is the reply of labor to the demand that with the reduction of the necessities of fire and the consequent unemployment resulting from the return of the soldier population to private life comes a reduction in wages. Business interests were made to charge off profits that would have resulted and to sell goods at and below cost and it is the laboring man's turn now. The United States Railroad Labor Board delivered its mandate to the operators and the railroads and this mandate was obeyed. It is the labor promising as a result victory at the polls. He will find that he would be better off with a Democratic congress than with a Republican one that he cannot control. He is hold responsible for the latter, while the former would carry no responsibility for either himself or his party. The colored people are to meet and decide upon a line of action. The only thing for them to do is to maintain the principles of the Republican Party, as expressed by the National Republican Convention and await stoically the time, when that party will have the back-bone and moral stamina to cast off the "fungus growth" which is making that great political organization the laughing stock of the civilized world. unions turn now and the President of the United States is standing "like adamant" upon this question. It is an unfortunate condition. Every one desires to see employees paid a living wage. They need money, but the law of supply and demand is ever present. Artificial conditions cannot last and all classes must reach a basic level. Let us hope and pray for peace. Crawling people seldom learn to walk upright. The winners in our "Bee Puzzle" contest will soon be announced. We have a hard time in this life and it may be that we shall have an easy time in the life to come. Lulling one to sleep with promises seems to be a common past-time with some people. Colored people should read their own race papers. They will secure much valuable information therefrom. We thank our subscribers, who have been sending in their subscriptions during our times of trouble. Colored folks as a rule are all right, even though some of them, as a rule are all wrong. We wonder sometimes if some of our religious customers will ever get to heaven. They are so everlastingly slow in meeting their obligations. Dying is the easiest thing we have to do in this life and, still no one wants to die. Driving an automobile is all right, but the expense of driving it is an wrong. Death visits when least expecto. That is why insurance is an important item in this life. Whiskey is all wrong when the individual furnishes it and all right, when the government furnishes it. Stopping the liquor traffic is like eliminating the "red light" district. The result has been "red light" all over the town. When we get into trouble, we do not want to hear talk about how we got in to it, but we want to discuss plans of how to get out of it. Deception brings results sometimes, but in most cases it causes one to lose much sleep and brings to the individual a world of trouble. Other nations of the earth are lookin gtowards us for help and thousands in this country need the help that we are tendering others. Little children as a rule possess the essence of innocence. Grown people, in many instances possess the essence of evil. Preaching in the North is proving much more profitable than in the South. When a divine gets from three hundred to three hundred and fifty dollars per month, with extras thrown in he is "going some," and he knows it. They are giving us plenty of high block in the way of sounding names these days and the that would send the efficiency necessary to go with it is work, usually found wanting. Climbing up in this life is a difficult task. Climbing down is quite easy. All you have to do is to let go and gravitation will finish the trip for you. Colored folks make money and colored folks spend it and some other colored folks save some of the money that they make. Dr. R. R. Moton may not be a Booker T. Washington, but he is making history, both for himself and Tuskegee, Alabama. Living right and living wrong is the choice of the average individual, but some of us live both ways, before we pass entirely through this world to the one above or the one below. Some people raise children that bring misery and woe to them and some others raise children who bring contentment and happiness around the hearth-stone. (Good-dimers are happiest when they are spending all the money, they and their friends make, and miserable when the supply runs out and their appetite for food and dress is not satisfied Some women seem to be of the opinion that they made a mistake in the selection of their husbands. Some men think the same thing concerning their wives, but they are afraid to say so. Colored folks are coming back on the stage in the matter of popularity with the white folks. Southern colored folks have already come back in the matter of popularity with the white folks in business. They are yelling for more police. We believe that this should be followed by more efficient police and more pay for the present police-officers, who are proficient. More police on the same old pay depreciates the service and will not improve present conditions. What the Police Department needs is more money and not more police. Getting results in this life is what we want. When you cannot get results, a man's services are not needed. Light-headed people are on the increase. They have just enough sense to dress well and talk foolishness. HARDING WILL SEE STRIKERS CAREFE. Conferences at White House With Leaders of Both Sides Revive Hopes of Settling Dispute. Washington, July 27.—Hopes for a move toward settlement of the railroad strike were revived today as leaders on both sides in the dispute gathered here presumably for conferences on the situation with administration officials, although definite indication was lacking as to whether their presence here at the same time had the added significance of any pre-arrange ment. Arriving here early in the day after an unannounced departure from Chicago, B. M. Jewell, head of the striking railway shopmen, and the six international presidents of the shopcrafts organization, planned to go to the White House for a conference with President Harding. Although it was stated in officialcircles today that the union representatives had not been "invited" to the White House for a conference, theyof course, it was added, would be received should they call to discuss the strike situation and such a conference was fully excepted in the course of the day. CARRIERS REPRESENTED. At the same time among the railroad executives W. W. Atterbury, of the Pennsylvania and T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives, were both in Washington today and others, including L. F. Loree of the Delaware and Hudson who conferred with Mr. Atterbury yesterday in what was understood to be the first of a series of conferences with rail executives was said at the White House at an early hour to have no more appointments to meet them today. Indications were that the president purposed to confer individually with the rail executives on the strike situation and particularly on the seniority issue now regarded as the stumbling block in the way of an adjustment that would send the men back to work. INJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED IN JITNEY CASE. Order Issued by Judge Sims Restraining City From Enforcing Jitney Regulations Is Removed. The injunction issued by Judge Sims of the Supreme Court, restraining the city from enforcing the new ordinance regulating jitneys was to day dissolved by Judge Crump, of the law and equity court. The jitneys will be compelled to return within fifteen days to compliance with the new jitney ordinance, which means that as the end of fifteen days they must get off Broad street and put back the signs on the windshields of their cars, return to 8 cent fare, and none can run that has not made satisfactory arrangement as to furnishing the $11,000 indemnity insurance. Judge Crump's action means that the jitneys have fifteen days within which to make their appeal. In the meantime, they can continue to run as they are doing now. In the test case of J. H. Attika against the city of Richmond, in which the plaintiff attacked the new jitney law as unconstitutional, Judge Crump held the ordinance as constitutional. The jitneys, it is understood will carry their case to the supreme court. THREE WEEKS WITHOUT RESTRAINT The jitneys have been running now nearly three weeks without any restraint at all. The former ordinance passed by the city council was repealed by the new ordinance, and when this could not be enforced, there was no law at all restraining anyone from entering the business under any circumstances whatever, except that he must comply with the general traffic laws. The action by Judge Crump means that many of the jitneys who have not complied with the insurance provision, but who appeared on the streets through the liberty allowed by the injunction issued by Judge Sims, will have to retire. The jitneys in the district will take route No. 1, which extends from Ninth and Grace streets to the Boulevard. So far there have been no qualifications of jitneys on any other route. --- KU KLUX KLAN WINS BIG TEXAS TRUMPH IN ELECTIONS. Gets Complete Control of Democratic Machine in Primary. TO FILL MANY OFFICES Mayfield, Its Candidate for U. S. Senator, Is Emphatic Victor. Dallas, July 24.—The Ku Klux Klan won a sweeping victory in nearly every section of Texas Saturday. It obtained control of the Democrat machine in the primaries held to nondale local, State and Senatorial offices. Earle B. Mayfield, one of the two recognized Klan candidates, is certain to be one of the candidates in the run off between the two highest candidates for United States Senator. The other will probably be former Governor James E. Ferguson who was four years ago impeached and thrown from office. Ferguson ran on a light wines and beer platform. He was not especially vigorous in his denouncement of the Ku Klux until the final days of the campaign. Senator Charles A. Culberson is running third in the primary race with little chance of improving his position. If Ferguson is in the run off with Mayfield the issues will be closely drawn between Ku Klux and anti-Ku Klux, with prohibition an important factor. Mayfield is a prohibitionist. He expects support in his next race from the Ku Klux Klan and from prohibitionists. Ferguson is strong with union labor, especially the striking shoppee; with German-Americans, of whom there are many in southwest Texas; with farmers and with anti-prohibitionists. He makes a picturesque campaign and is known among the rural classes as "Farmer Jim." Many Democrats feel that he was not fairly treated in the impeachment trial. Under the Texas law he cannot be elected to any State office because of his impeachment and the only offices now open to him are in Congress. He has few equals as a campaign speaker, being especially effective in his appeal to farmers. The Ku Klux victory was due largely to the wonderful political machine built up within a few months. Every precinct in the State was organized and a committee held responsible for the vote. Women workers were trained and schools of instruction for women voters were held. On election day 90 per cent of the Ku Klux Klan vote, it is estimated, was cast before noon. Careful check of the voters was made and those who had failed to vote were ordered to the polls. Klan leaders assert that the election cost them practically nothing. Sherif Buchanan of Waco, an anti-Klansman went down in defeat. The issue was sharply drawn there because Buchanan recently killed a man while trying to stop a Ku Klux Klan parade. In Beaumont a sheriff who had been ousted from office by a District Judge because he had taken a Klan oath, was re-elected overwhelmingly. The lawyer who defended him was elected District Judge. DELEGATES ARRIVE FROM VERGIN ISLANDS. (Preston News Service.) New York City, July 20.—Three delegates arrived here Monday from the Virgin Islands, U. S. A., with the idea of laying before Congress a plea to lift the ban on spiritualious liquors which has played havoc with the commerce of at least two islands since the United States Government took possession of the former Danish West Indies.. Two of the members, Messrs. Geo, Moorehead and Conrad Corniro, were appointed to lay the matter before Congress by the Colonial Council of St. Thomas, while the third member, Adolph Sixto, is supposed to have been sent by acclamation of quite a number of the colonial citizens who believe that Mr. Sixto's wide experience and knowledge of matters political as concern the islands place him in a position to be of great help in their effort to obtain favorable consideration from the members of Congress. Late Monday afternoon the delegates were received by Alderman George W. Harris, in the office of the New York News, who assured them that thinking people of color in the United States were in sympathy with the hopes and aspirations of the people of the Virgin Islands. Dean Pickens, of the N. A. A. C., who happened to call at the office while Alderman Harris was extending greetings to the delegates, and upon being presented to the distinguished visitors assured them that now that the flag of this country waved over the islands, American colored men and women had things in common with the people of the new possessions. The delegates remained here three days and left on Thursday for Washington, where they will give strict attention to the business in hand, and will retrain here at the conclusion of their mission and spend a week or two before returning to their island homes. It is expected that the coming of these men of color to petition Congress will be cause for considerable publicity in the white press. The attitude of Congress towards these men will give the American Negro food for thought regarding methods on making consideration. It is said that the right of these men of the world are diplomatic, but determined. Not the "Hat-in-Hand" type. The result of their errand will be watched. "NEGROES, NOT A CHILD RACE' —A. C. HOLDEN. New York City, July 17.—"My interest in the Negro is not that of the patronizing sort so often found in members of the white race," declared Arthur C. Holden in accepting the chairmanship of the New York Urban League. "The majority of white people approach the Negro as a child race, deserving all sympathy and benevolence." "My first interest," said he, "is in social problems. From that angle I propose to work with the Urban League." Mr. Holden is now in London attending the International Conference of Settlement Workers. He is an author of several books on social problems. His new book on the "Settlement Idea" has provoked considerable discussion throughout the entire world. MISS BURNS IN URBAN LEAGUE WORK. (Preston News Service.) Cleveland, Ohio, July 28.-Miss Inabel F. Burns, of St. Joseph, Mo., has accepted a position as assistant secretary of the Cleveland Urban League, of which Mr. William R. Conners is executive secretary. Miss Burns is an honor graduate of the high school in her native city and honor student at Howard University, graduating in 1920 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Her excellent record at Howard attracted officials of the Educational Department of the National Urban League, and she was given a fellowship which entitled her to take a special course in social service science. She attended the School of oScial Science in New York city. Miss Burns also took special work at Columbia University. --- COURT ENJOINS APARTMENT HOUSE ERECTION. (Preston News Service.) Atlanta, Ga., July 27.—Upon petition of a number of adjoining property owners, Judge George L. Bell, in Fulton Superior Court, last Thursday signed an order temporarily restraining L. G. Neal from erecting a number of apartment houses in East Merrits Avenue. The property owners allege that, due to inadvertence, the recent "zoning" ordinance passed by City Council does not classify this particular tract as to whether white or colored residents may occupy the property, and ask time to present their claims to council to have an amendment to the ordinance passed. The petitions allege that the building of a Negro apartment house will damage their holdings. 1.MAN'S BODY FOUND RIDDLED. No arrest has been made in connection with the finding of the badly mutilated body of a colored youth in the Bickerstaff Road, about a mile from Richmond, yesterday, Henrico County authorities announced last night. Riddled with bullets and the head badly bruised, the body was discovered by a boy passing on the highway on his way to work. A signet ring bearing the initials "E. W. H." found on a finger of the body, is the only clue that may lead to the identity of the youth. After the body had been viewed at the scene by County Coroner J. Fulmer Bright, it was removed to Scott's undertaking establishment, where it will be held several days in the hope of establishing the person's identity. Formal inquest over the body will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the county courthouse. (Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch, July 27th, 1922.)

Simmons, superintendent of Alachua county schools, is pleased over the prospects for the coming school year, although he regrets that teachers' salaries are lower than they were last year. There were in attendance in the county schools approximately 9,000 children last year. Over 4,000 were Negroes, which was a marked increase over the previous year. A school building for Negroes is also in process of construction and will be ready for service the first of next January. This is a large building of red brick, thoroughly modern in design. However, the shortage of funds has made a change in the original plans necessary. The cost of the building will be $50,000. The most noteworthy school building project undertaken in this county is the county training school for Negroes. This institution is at Alachua. The old building there was sold, and this fund supplemented by money raised by the Negroes themselves, paid for a lot of 718 acres of good farm land. This tract is considered ideal for the school farm. An eight-room building, thoroughly modern in every respect, has just been completed at a cost of $15,000. This school was made possible by help received from the Julius Rosenwald fund. Under the Smith-Lever bill, an instructor in agriculture will be provided, while the appropriations from the general education board will make a course in home economics and some industrial courses possible. This last appropriation has not been received, but Mr. Simmons is working for it and feels confident of success. CLAD IN PAJAMAS, FLEES WORKHOUSE. (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service.) Warrenville, Ohio, July 27.—Eighteen months is too long a time for a globe trotter to spend in one place. At least this seems to be the way Charles Washington, of Cleveland, felt about the matter. By nature Washington is a traveling man. Pondering months in the workhouse Pondering months in the workhouse to stay seven-preyed upon his mind consistently, so he just got up and walked away. According to reports early last Friday morning while the other prisoners were asleep Washington slipped an overcoat over his pajamas and walked to freedom. So far "search for the man in pajamas" has been fruitless. --- URBAN LEAGUE MEETING TO BE IN PITTSBURGH (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., July 28.—Pittsburgh will be host to the fifth annual convention of the National Urban League to be held next October 18th, 19th and 20th. In discussing the coming convention, John T. Clark, executive secretary of the local branch, said: "This will be the fifth annual meeting to be held outside of New York city. Previous meetings were held in Columbus, O., Detroit, Mich., Newark, N. J., and Chicago, Ill. Delegates as far north as Massachusetts, as far west as Los Angeles, Cal., and as far south as Atlanta, Ga., have attended these conventions and conferences. "At the conference in Chicago some of the most prominent social workers in the country were present, among whom were Miss Jane Adams, Mary McDougall, Madge Headley, and others. "It is the purpose of the Pittsburgh Urban League to have an unusually large number of colored social workers employed by organizations other than the Urban League to attend the conference in Pittsburgh, and the program is being worked out to interest such a group." --- HURT WHEN FIVE CARS OVER TURN. (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service.) Jacksonville, Fla., July 27.—Miss Eloise McDonald, of this city, was badly bruised last Thursday when five coaches of the Southland Limited, a Florida tourist train from Chicago, turned over at Adams station, north of Albany, Ga. The engine and first three cars of the train, which were baggage and mail cars, did not leave the track. The injured were brought to Albany in these coaches. The pullmans, dining car and one day coach turned over. A broken rail is said to have been the cause of the accident. MISS LUCY SLOWE DEAN OF WOMEN. (Preston News Service.) Washington, D. C., July 21.—Miss Lucy D. Slowe, who for a number of years was principal of the Robert Gould Shaw junior high school here, was chosen dean of women and associate professor of English at Howard University. Miss Slowe is a former graduate of Howard University and also of Columbia University, Master of Arts. There is possibly no other woman in the country better qualified for the position than Miss Slowe. --- MECHANICS BANK (Continued from First Page.) the Moore Street Baptist Church. The following are the resolutions: We, your committee appointed at a special meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity held on call of our President, Rev Dr. Evans Payne, Tuesday, July 25, 1922, at the Ebenezer Baptist Church to take some action in the matter of the closing temporarily of the Mechanics Savings Bank by the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission, beg leave to report that we find that in all of our churches, Sunday, July 16, 1922, the pastors discussed the matter and expressed absolute confidence in the president of the Mechanics Savings Bank and its officers and urged their hearers to suspend judgment, assuring them that the bank had ample assets to meet all of its obligations and to pay all of its depositors in full. We find that this had a most quieting effect, and that as a result, on the following Monday, no excitement was in evidence at the institution, and the squad of police officers, who had been stationed in the neighborhood, found that they had absolutely nothing to do and were withdrawn. Your committee found also that the white press, the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, the Richmond Evening Dispatch, the Richmond News Leader, spoke in favor of the bank and gave out information that did a "world of good" in restoring the confidence of our people. Coupled with this was the friendly attitude of the white people generally in their homes, where they employed servants, and in their mills and factories and places of business, which aided in this work. The crowning act came, when Colonel Thomas B. McAdams, president of the American Bankers' Association, of which our townman, the president of the Mechanics Savings Bank, is the only active colored member, upon an appeal made to him, directed that Colonel W. M. Addison, president of the Clearing House Association of Richmond, be requested to call a meeting of that association and, if the bank was solvent, to loan it the amount necessary to relieve the situation. This was done and one hundred thousand ($100,000.00) dollars were pledged to relieve the situation. We are glad to report that hundreds of colored people are waiting impatiently for the opening day to put money into the Mechanics Savinge Bank, instead of drawing it out. We report also that the colored business institutions, societies and fraternal bodies have expressed their confidence in the Mechanics Savings Bank and other banks, located in this city, and that there is no evidence of any "run" on any of them as a result of this unfortunate occurrence. We therefore recommend that it is the sense of this conference that a vote of thanks be extended to the white people in general for their aid and comfort and to Colonel Thomas B. McAdams, president of the American Bankers' Association; Colonel W. M. Addison, president of the Clearing House Association of Richmond; the affiliated banks thereof, the special committee appointed by the association, and being advised that Hon. Oliver J. Sands, president of the American National Bank, has done much for the Mechanics Savings Bank and its thousands of depositors, we include him and his institution, the daily press, the colored press, business organizations of our people, insurance companies and fraternal orders and other bodies and individuals, who have aided in this work of the rejuvenation of the bank. Learning that the completion of the audit will bring about the reopening of the bank, we urge that this be done at the earliest possible moment, and to this end we ask the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission and the State Corporation Commission to hasten this much to be desired result. We heartily endorse the proposals of the restoration of the management and control of the Meto make a rally day one of the beachnics Savings Bank to our people, when each individual will open an account with the institution and show to the world that we have an abiding confidence in the encouragement of thrift amongst the colored people generally. Registrations are coming in for the Kitttell Conference. Besides the School and Industrial Girls of the Y. W. C. A., all leaders of girls' groups and young women who work with girls and wish to see how the "Y" girl put electric energy into their club work are invited to "follow the crowd" to Kitttell, August 9th.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA DR. KELLY MILLER AND THE MESSENGER I notice that the Messenger is very much excited over my alleged attitude on mixed schools or separate schools in the North. The last issue of this interesting magazine contained as its feature article "KELLY MILLER'S MISTAKE." It is announced that the discussion will be continued in the next issue. The infallible editors of the Messenger are famous for seizing upon the mistakes made by others. Their own mistakes, if they have any, so far have not been so widely exploited. I was surprised to note that the co-editor was wanting in his usual scholarly research and accuracy. He derived his information through the refracting medium of a Chicago weekly instead of from the original source, which was easily available to him. Last October I contributed to the Educational Review an article on "The Education of the Negro in the North," which, it seems, has just come to the belated attention of the Messenger by a devious and round-about route. In this article I did not advocate separate schools, but merely raised the question of the relative inspirational appeal of the two modes of tuition. I have given long study and wide observation to this question, and am still devoting careful thought to it. But I have never at any time or place, by utterance or inference, expressed belief in the principle of separate schools, in the North or in the South. Neither Christianity nor democracy can contemplate the separation. The school is much more ethical than the church and much more democratic than the State. When our oldest university suggests discrimination against students on account of race, a hue and cry is raised from all over the nation. But both church and State make race distinctions with impunity. The school is the one place which should be kept free from all forms of prejudice. It is useless for the learned editor of the Messenger to display his erudition in two labored essays to convict me of a sentiment which I never held. I do not believe in separate schools, separate churches or separate cars. I may be forced to receive them, but I never willingly accept them. I always protest in thought even when from prudence I acquiesce in action. But as I have studied Negro education in the South and in the North, and have watched the workings of the two types of effect upon the Negro child inevitably forced itself upon my attention. I might stop here to say, in passing, that so far as the Negro is concerned, public schools in the proper sense of the public school do not exist anywhere in the United States. The so-called mixed schools are white schools which the Negro pupil is permitted to attend as a tolerated recipient, but the Negro is not a co-equal factor, or even a proportional factor, in contributing to or deriving from the system the desired influence and power. In a great city like Pittsburgh, where the managers and teachers are all white, and more or less actuated with the hauteur of racial attitude, the Negro pupil cannot feel that he is receiving the full force and inspiration of public instruction with free and untraumelled spirit. Even in places where colored teachers are employed they are almost always young women in the lower grades who impress no directive influence and are confined to the narrow lines of specified instruction. The whole race was delighted to see Miss Maria Boldwin, of Cambridge, function efficiently and influentially as an eighth grade principal in this famous college town. But she represents both a salutary and solitary exception which the most sanguine scarcely hopes to see duplicated in his day. The Negro pupil in the North has not in the past and is not now deriving from the public schools the full benefit which they should impart. There are one and a half million Negroes in the North whose children are in touch with the best school facilities and advantages which our civilization affords. Who is bold enough to say that they impart to the Negro child all that can be desired? Let us throw into comparison the schools of Washington under Negro supervision and those of Northern cities where the Negro has no directive say. Washington is surpassed in Negro population by New York and Philadelphia, and equalled by that of Chicago. And yet the national capital has more Negro pupils on the secondary level of instruction than these three cities combined. The inspiration effect of a system can be fairly gauged by the number of pupils stimulated to pursue higher courses of study. I venture the statement that Washington schools have sent more colored students to Harvard than Boston, more to Columbia than New York city, more to the University of Pennsylvania than Philadelphia, and more to the University of Chicago than Chicago. There are three colored female doctors of philosophy, all of whom are products of the Washington public schools. When we consider that a large number of the high school graduates each year enter the Normal School to prepare for teaching, while scores of them enter Howard University, the significance of the system begins to dawn upon us. The Washington colored schools have been the greatest intellectual stimulus in the life of the race so far as public instruction is concerned. What I have said of Washington is true in a degree of Baltimore, St. Louis, Louisville, Kansas City, and other cities where colored South are being brought under the inspiration of Negro tuition. I do not know of a single city where white instruction of Negro youth is producing like stimulative effect. Separate schools have their disadvantages, which can be easily pointed out. But does not the Negro contingent in so-called public schools also labor under serious handicap? In the article in question, I merely called attention to relativity of advantages and disadvantages which no educator can fail to notice. He that BUY YOUR COAL FROM THE CRUMP AND WEST COAL CO.

MR, J. S. REDMOND ON MARCUS GARVEY AND U. N. I. A. Bluefield, W. Va., July 12, 1922. The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. Dear Editor: I have read and re-read your editorial to the Hon. Marcus Garvey (8th). Mr. Garvey's idea of a strong government in Africa, and also making Africa safe for the Africans, is great. But I am afraid he fell down upon his great idea when he said, "We can Jim Crow the white man just as he Jim Crows us over here." But Mr. Garvey has forgotten that the building of a strong government in Africa and making Africa safe for the Africans can only be successfully achieved by going at it with a spirit of necessity and brotherly love, instead of a spirit of anger and retaliation. Mr. Garvey is a great man, but when he says that he is and asserts or says that we should be pleased with our condition in the South, since this is the white man's country, etc., I am afraid that he is blindly spreading a VILE propaganda, and that some of our leaders should call him to one side and tell him of the monument to be erected in Washington city to the honor of the Negro who ca me with Columbus on his first voyage to this country, and also tell him of Crispus Attuck, and then a general history of the American Nespreading this vile propaganda, we gro; then should he elect to continue should see that he enters our gates a stranger and leave our gates a stranger. Living in a land of free speech, I believe Dr. W. E. B. Dubois has a right to assert that Mr. Garvey's plans are feasible, and to, you have asserted in an article near your editorial, that every one has a right to their opinion. But you snatched this right from us when you said: "The Negroes who have lost their identity as Negroes * * * should let Garvey alone and cease abusing him." The color of a few of our leaders' skin is not a matter of choice, and may God bless all of us when the time comes that we must follow our leaders just because they are black. Sincerely yours, J. S.

THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. EDITOR GEORGE W. HARRIS ON KLUX ISSUE MARCUS GARVEY UNMERCIFULLY FLAYS SIX ARTICLE IN NEW YORK WORLD BY EDITOR AROUSES IRE OF PRESIDENT GARVEY NEW YORK, July 20.—Before an audience of over six thousand persons, filling Liberty Hall to its fullest capacity, Sunday night, Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, appearing in unusual physical form and fit for the occasion, though just having returned from an extended trip throughout the United States unmercifully excoriated his would-be critics and bombastic malligners of his acts as official head of the organization he represents. He read an article clipped from the New York Sunday World (white) written by one George W. Harris (colored) a Harvard graduate, Editor and Alderman for the 21st Assembly District of New York City, wherein he accused Mr. Garvey of forming an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan to the detriment of the American Negro, etc., further that Mr. Garvey did not know Negro history, he being an "tailon." With much emphasis and feeling, Mr. Garvey told the vast assemblage that not only had he been misquoted by this would-be politician and editor, but that the action of Harris showed that he desired only to delve into personalities and indulge in petty spite, and that he did not understand public issues and measures of grave concern. Among the many statements made by Mr. Garvey, which puckered those made by Editor Harris for notoriety were the following: That a large number of Negro editors throughout the country and especially those who live in the North, did not know the condition and the attitude of the Ku Klux Klan towards the millions of Negroes who live in the Southern States. That these wise-acres and so-called Race patriots remain thousands of miles away and write all kinds of stuff against the South, against the Ku Klux Klan and against people with whom they do not come in contact, and leave the people who really come in contact with them to suffer from the result of their senseless and hypocritical propaganda. That some Negro men who write and talk up North will make noise as far as Washington, D. C., but when they change cars to go further South they remain as dumb as an oyster. That in a majority of the cases they get the unthinking people to swallow their yellow stuff without having one ounce of sincerity behind Read The Richmond Planet --- what they write or what they say. Mr. Garvey says that he actually did go South, and did interview the acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in order to get first-hand information as to their attitude toward the millions of Negroes who reside in the South and are daily coming in contact with them, and that this is something Harris himself has not dared to do, though he is now yelping and barking at someone else for doing that which he has not the nerve to do. Further, Mr. Garvey says that Harris is one of a group of Negroes who have been trying to discredit him and the organization for the past four years, and that up to now they have fallen in all of their attempts; and that were it not for the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Harlem District of New York City, where Mr. Harris is domiciled and doing business that he would not $b_0$ safe from the menace and abuse of the Ku Klux Klan. Further calling attention to the statements of Harris, that he was an "allon" and therefore not qualified to enunciate the great principles of Race rights and liberty, or the ideals of a free and independent Race, Mr. Garvoy says that you might as well say that because Jesus who was a Nazarene, the outside world should not accept His doctrine and Christianity because He was an "allen." That because Martin Luther was born in Germany, the world should not accept the doctrine of Protestantism; that because Alexander Hamilton and Lafayette were born in other parts of the world, America should not accept the benefits bestowed on the Nation; that because Shakespeare was an Englishman, we should not read "Hamlet" or "Julius Caesar;" that because Milton was not born in America we should not read his "Paradise Lost;" that because Marcoal is an Italian, we of the western world should not make use of the wireless telegraphy; and that the attack of Harris on him that he was an "alien," and born in Jamaica, B, W. I, debarred him from leadership of the great Movement that he now represents was so simple that it seemed ridiculous to waste much time and space on him. Mr. Garvey also said that Harris had a wrong conception of history and a very poor understanding of the Race question. Read The Planet and keep informed as to what our Race is doing in world and domestic affairs THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA MAN WHO KILLED TWO DRY OFFICERS STILL AT LARGE (Richmond Times-Dispatch) Norfolk, Va., July 24. "Get Jim Chambers, dead or alive." That is the order given nearly a hundred Federal, city and county officers, who are today making wholesale raids in Titustown, colored settlement near the army supply base where two Federal prohibition officers were killed Saturday night. Chambers, tonight was charged by a coroner's jury of Norfolk, with the murder of Prohibition Agents Carey D. Freeman and H. H. Fisher on Saturday night. Chambers' wife, Annie Chambers and Henry Brodin colored, both under arrest, were held by the jury as accomplices. The inquest was conducted in the office of Magistrate Ames, on Jamestown Boulevard. SEARCH CONTINUES THROUGH THE NIGHT. . Search for Chambers continued by posses of Federal, county and city officers through the night, though it is bolloved Chambers is still in this section. . Norfolk police late today, sent broadcast pictures and description of Chambers. He is six foot, one inch tall, weighs 200 pounds, has bright skin and on chin and on side of face. When last seen he was wearing light khaki pants, striped shirt and tan shoes. He is a native of Dillon, S. C. and has lived in Marion, S. C, and Maxton, Condor and Pedeo, N. C. Prohibition Director R. A. Fulwiler arrived in Norfolk at noon-to-day to take personal charge of the search for the slayer of Fisher and Freeman. He had a conference with Collector of Customs Crupper and proceeded to Titustown. SEARCH SETTLEMENT At 12:30 today, the posse of officers got a tip that Chambers was in a farmhouse near Titustown. The whole outfit rushed to the scene but no trace of Chambers was found. Two hundred houses at Titustown were searched this morning and the remainder of the settlement was combed this afternoon. As Chambers is armed and has a Plentiful supply of ammunition, the officers are taking no chances and are prepared to shoot to kill. Chambers, rum-running killer, spent last night in Titustown almost within reach of county officers, who were supposed to be searching for him, it developed this afternoon. He was at the home of Talloy Haron, colored, at Pratt and Division streets it developed today when half a hundred city police and Federal officers raided the settlement. Hardon was arrested, charged with harboring a fugitive and was sent to Norfolk city jail. Apparently dissatisfied with the activity of county officers, Federal agents today requested, further assistance from the city, and a detail of fifty policemen and detectives, with twenty Federal agents, proceeded to Tituwown. Colonel Harris Hoge, of Roanoke, legal advisor of the prohibition director of Virginia, took charge of the situation from the 'government angle. Lieutenant White, of the detective bureau, commanded, the Norfolk police Twenty county officers were brought into the chase by order of Sheriff A. A. Wendell, who also took personal charge. Reports that county officers who were supposed to look after conditions in Titustown had failed to suppress liquor selling and other violations of the law in that vicinity led to the action of the Federal authorities, it was stated. Armed with riot guns and pistols, the three forces proceeded with a house-to-house search of the territory in Titustown, south of the railroad, before noon. Every inhabitant was questioned and every house combed for trace of the fugitive. It soon developed that Chambers had been in the Harden house, and the latter was promptly arrested.

The visitors were attired in their native costumes of multi-colored silk. Many of the men carried immense spears and all of them wore swords. Several of them had been decorated with the insignia of officers or knights of the Legion of Honor for distinguished services on behalf of France during the World War. These rulers, sovereigns of the various French colonies or protectorates in the Sudan, Senegal, Dehamey, Nauretania and Guinea, seemed to attract admirable attention from all Paris.

He has satisfied the requirements of the Catholic University of America for the Mastor's Degree in Classical Philology. As a part of the work necessary he presented a 48-page thesis on "The question of the Origin of the Rom an Satire," in which discussion Prof. Lightfoot makes a survey of the lengthy and ingenious debate which has been going on almost without ceasing for the last fifty years.

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 be being operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A.

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 ouned. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR, 2419 E. Grace St., Richmond, Va.
