The National Association of Colored Women, Richmond, Va. Aug. 6-11th, '22 THE RICHMOND PLANET DOORS TO SWING OPEN ONCE MORE. PRESIDENT MITCHELL SUBMITS SECURITIES FOR LOAN--CLEARING HOUSE COMMITTEE ACTING. Main Body to Pass Promptly on the Law--Rally Day to be Announced. VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 39 DOOR PRESIDENT Main B The next to the last lap in the re-opening of the Mechanics Savings Bank was taken last Wednesday morning when John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics Savings Bank made formal application to the Clearing House Association of Richmond for the advance of the One Hundred Thousand Dollars for the institution. On Monday, Mr. William H. Schwarzschild, Chairman of the Clearing House Committee accepted the invitation of John Mitchell, Jr. to visit the Mechanics Bank and other enterprises fostered by that institution. The Stanley Steam Car was called into requisition and the popular chairman was quickly carried the rounds and returned to his banking institution. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS On Tuesday, Hon. W. Mende Addison, President of the Clearing House Association of Richmond took a similar trip and was returned to the newly fitted up and palatial 'Panters' National Bank, Hon. I. M. Smith, Jr. had an affliction by death in his family last week. John Mitchell, Jr. after conferring with him retained the services of the brilliant attorney, Hon. Charles C. Meredditk and the brother of ex-Governor A. J. Montague, the well known R. Lynch Montague, Esq. These gentlemen have decided upon a line of action. With the submission of securities for the loan this week will come the last chapter in this remarkable case. HARMONY THE WATCHWORD The Mechanics Bank will reopen with the cordial co-operation of the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission. The harmonizing of all interests seem to have been accomplished and the confidence of the colored people has been sublime. White and colored people have done all in their power to reassure the colored people. The balancing of passbooks will not be permitted to delay the restoration of the institution to its former owners. Many questions have been asked by some. It was reported that the Chancery Court had adjourned for the term. This has nothing to do with the lause as all necessary matters are dealt with by the Judge in chambers. HIS HONOR WILL ACT This prevents harmful delay. The advice given is for every one to continue to maintain their equilibrium and speak in favor of the institution and all will be well. As soon as all arrangements have been completed, The Planet will issue an "extra" announcing that fact. A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE. Noel, Va., July 29—The home of Mrs. L. C.

Grand Lodge of Missouri Meets Refuses to Pay Any More Taxes to the Supreme Lodge. Money Already Collected to be Refunded to the Subordinate Lodges--Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd the Central Figure--Wins after Long Debate. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Missouri, at its session at St. Joseph, Missouri last week by a vote of 40 to 66 decided not to pay the Pythian Temple Tax or to collect any money any longer for this purpose. All money previously collected was ordered refunded to the subordinate lodges after thirty days from the time of the adjournment of the Grand Lodge. This places the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri alongside of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia in this matter. The Grand Lodge of Missouri did not believe that the tax was constitutionally levied and objected to the way the money was being expended. "NEVER SAY DIE," SAYS HON. MARCUS GARVEY. New York, July 25, 1922. Hon. John Mitchell, Richmond, Va. Dear Mr. Mitchell:—I have just learned through "The Planet" that you are suffering some business reverses and temporary embarrassment and I hasten to send you my word of sympathy in the crisis through which you are passing. I have faith to believe that you will overcome the difficulties now TAX COLLECTED. It continued to collect the tax from the subordinate lodges however and held it in escrow until a satisfactory agreement could be reached with the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green declined to permit the matter to come up in the Supreme Lodge session at Topeka, Kansas last August and proceeded to decline to admit the Supreme Representatives from the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri in to the Supreme Lodge. Thereupon, the Grand Lodge of Missouri sued out an injunction and secured admission in to the sessions of the Supreme Lodge. John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of Virginia with Supreme Representative E. R. Jefferson and Sir George W. Rison were in attendance at Topeka, Kansas. THE VIRGINIA CASE The Virginia Case came up for this cussion and when the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia was similarly treated, another injunction was secured from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia securing to the members of the Order in Virginia all on their rights and privileges as members of the Order of Knights of Pythias. The following recommendation of the brilliant and fearless Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd of St. Louis, Missouri explains itself: GRAND CHANCEELL LLOYD'S RECOMMENDATION. Quoting from page 41 of this address in the 4th marked paragraph of my letter to Supreme Chancellor Green, I made the following statement: "I stand ready and willing to carry out the instructions of the Grand Lodge of Missouri with reference to the payment of the money in question the escrow terms of which are familiar to you, but I have no authority to take any other action." We have given the Supreme Lodge more than two years to consider our fair business proposition, if it were acting in good faith, but the Supreme (Continued on Eighth Page.)

John Mitchell, Richmond, Va. Dear Mr. Mitchell:—I have just learned through "The Planet" that you are suffering some business reverses and temporary embarrassment and I hasten to send you my word of sympathy in the crisis through which you are passing.

LEW TENDLER FAILS TO LIFT LEONARD'S TITLE BUT GIVES CHAMP HARD BATTLE TWO Jersey City, July 27.—Benny Leonard is still lightweight champion of the world, but after the toughest fight in his long career. Low Tendler, the Philadelphia southpaw fought him from bell to bell in their twelve round battle at Boyle's Thirty Acres Friday night before a crowd, estimated at 75,000 men and women. The gang was kept on its toes constantly yelling and cheering as the champion and his most dangerous challenger slugged, sparred and endowed to talk or slug each other out of the lightweight throne. The first five rounds were practically all Tendler, but two of these could have been called even by a little show of charity towards Benny Tendler ripped open Leonard's right eye, smashed out a tooth squarely in the middle of his mouth and banged him about the ring generally. Then Benny began to get the range. From the sixth round it was all Leonard, except for a period in the eighth, when Low caught Benny with a fast, wicked left to the jaw and caused his knees to sag under him. Benny held on Tendler flipped him in the kidneys but could not shake off the champion or disturb the cool lino of Leonard, though, sufficiently to do further damage. Benny's head cleared in remarkably quick time and he plunged back and by wonderful boxing and stiff, hard punches he shook up Tendler, kept him bleeding from the mouth almost constantly, and kept his championship crown on straight. WORK JAWS HARD You often hear of grudge fights. Most of the time they are likely to be the bunk. But Leonard and Tendler worked their jaws at each other almost as much as their fists throughout the entire bout. On several occasions Referee Ertl could be heard to remark, "Never mind, go ahead with the fight." In Tendler, Benny met a ripping, tearing challenger. In Leonard, Tendler met a cool general, willing to take all that the challenger had to offer in order to solve his style, and then with enough reserve to tear in and win by a sufficient margin to retain his title, even though a referee and decision had been rendered. Tendler was tiring fast during the eleventh and twelfth rounds, and Benny probably would have copped him in a few more rounds. Despite the bitterness displayed during the fight, Benny and Low clasped hands in mid-ring at the end of the twelfth round. Low patted Benny on the back as he smiled a gory smile. Benny patted Low on the head with a grin that, thanks to Low's handwork as a dentist, looked like an open barn door. LEW IN UNLUCKY CORNER At 9:17 Tendler entered the ring. He was given a great cheer. The Philadelphia boy took the same corner that was occupied by Carpenter when he met Dempsey in the same ring last July. Tendler's hands were bandaged when he entered the ring, but the gloves were still in a box held by Referee Ertl. Benny Leonard climbed through the ropes at 9:18. He walked across the ring and shook hands with Tendler. The Boxing Commission physician then examined the two boys in the middle of the ring. Leonard looked considerably drawn but was deeply tanned and smilingly confident. Tendler stripped off his brown bathrobe as the doctor looked him over and appeared to be in corking condition. Leonard's weight was announced as 134 pounds and 15 ounces; Tendler's 134 3-4 pounds. Doubtless both young men could see through the blood film over their eyes, however, the fat purse that probably will be hung up for another fight in Madison Square Garden where decisions are possible. LEW CARRIED FIGHT When this comes about, Benny doubtless will get all the money the law allows, for he may not fight an other championship battle. The clevorness, the cool generalship of the champion is still with him but there was not the old-time snap in his punch as used against Tendler. Low on the other hand, demonstrated that he has a world of power in that snake-like left. The blow that sent Bennys knees knocking together under him in the eighth round, did not travel more than four or five inches, but it snapped like a rubber band. Furthermore, Tendler is anything but afraid of the champion. He carried the fight to Benny throughout the first rounds, and even though Benny had the better of the argument in the succeeding rounds, Tendler was always there willing and waiting to swap punches.

(Times-Dispatch July 28) Norfolk, Va.—Jim Chambers, the slayer of Carey Freeman and Howard Fisher, prohibition agents, at Titustown, Saturday night, died today at the United States Public Health Service Hospital, Larchmont. Four bullets sent into his body early this morning ended the life of the desperado, who had been known as a "bad man" long before he shot the two officers during the raid at Titustown. After successfully eluding armed posses for five days, Chambers was cornered last night in a clump of woods on the Cromwell farm, near Mason's Creek, five miles northwest of Norfolk. Shut off from every means of escape, Chambers, who had a few hours before beasted that he would do more damage, came out into the open at 5:20 and opened fire on police officers who were adding in the chase. A gun battle followed. His fire was returned and the shots wore the signal for opening a fusilade from scores of pistols and riot guns, as a result of which his hiding place was raked with bullets and he was driven out again, only to meet a bullet from the pistol of Detective Thomas O'Neill, of the vice squad, (who is given credit for the shot which killed Chambers. A bullet from O'Neill's revolver struck the fugitive in the temple, and another hit his spine. He ran fifty yards and fell in a strawberry patch on the Cromwell place. Another bullet struck him in the leg and one in his side. But Chambers did not give up easily, his wounding and capture following a gun battle in which a dozen officers participated, firing until he was felled by O'Neill's shot Chambers was removed to the hospital, where he died six hours later. HAMPTON CONDUCTS A 12-WEEK SUMMER SCHOOL (Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., July 29. —Dr. George P. Phoenix, vice-principal of Hampton Institute, who is the director of the Summer School, which is conducted under the auspices of the State Board of Education of Virginia and the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, reports that there are 600 men and women enrolled for the first session of six weeks. The second session of six weeks will close on September 2. The present enrollment is distributed as follows; Alabama, 11; Arkansas, 8; California, 1; Delaware, 15; Florida, 10; Georgia, 18; Kentucky, 8; Louisiana, 9; Maryland, 32; Mississippi, 11; New Jersey, 1; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 198; Ohio, 1; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 48; Tennessee, 20; Texas, 7; Virginia, 193; and West Virginia, 7. The growing importance of the Hampton Institute Summer School is shown by the following comparative figures for enrollment: 1910, 1911 students; 1911, 311; 1912, 446; 1913, summer school omitted; 1914, 435; 1915, 445; 1916, 458; 1917, 429; 1918, 407; 1919, 447; 1920, 640; 1921, 637; 1928, 600 (first session). At present forty-one instructors in the Hampton Institute Summer School are offering eighty-four courses, divided into four groups; one and two, those leading to Virginia Elementary Certificates, Primary Grade and Grammar Grade; three, those leading to Virginia Special Certificate, High School; four, those not included under one, two and three. REACHING THE MASSES The present summer school group includes a large number of county training school teachers and principals, high school teachers and principals, principals of graded schools, industrial supervising teachers and matrons of boarding schools. Ambitions teachers and supervisors have an opportunity at Hampton to speed up safely their professional training and increase their earning power. Through the summer school sessions Hampton has been able to give information, standards, and inspiration to colored teachers who are in strategic positions in their home communities and can influence for good hundreds of thousands of children and their parents. Hampton, on the other hand, has gained new strength by contact with those who have been making the world better and happier through unselfish service. The General Education Board of New York has again authorized the State Supervisors of Negro Education in the Southern States to select special groups of teachers and offer them scholarships which consist of railway tickets from their places of residence to Hampton and return. With students from all parts of With students from all parts of the South here assembled," says Doctor Phenix, "the social life of the dormitories and dining room and participation in the daily life of the school is as educative and quite as worth while as any formal course which the curriculum provides. Never before has there been a spirit of greater earnestness in the student body than has been noticeable this year. There was a notable increase in the enrollment in courses for high school teachers. More high schools and better teaching in them are perhaps the most important educational needs for colored people of the South today." PREPAFARING FOR NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING Tuskegee Institute, Ala., August 1—Local Negro Business Leagues and business men throughout the country are showing much interest and enthusiasm in the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League in Norfolk, Virginia, August 16th, 17th and 18th.

Approximately 1198 Negroes in virtually every trade and occupation and 61 white workers, form the working personnel of 113 newspapers and 14 magazines owned and directed by Negro proprietors in 30 States and the District of Columbia. The grand total of 1,259, which also includes approximately 185 Negro female workers, is made up of the following trade increments: (Proprietors or managers 204, editorial and clerical workers 393, foremen 69, compositors 103, linotype operators 70, machinists 21, ad-men 32, make-up men 38, floormen 16, proof readers 47, stereotypers 2, electromytrys 2, pressmen 84, bookbinders 36, mailers 104, and all other trades men 38. The 61 white workers, aside from 4 of their number who exclusively comprise the electrotyping and stereotyping occupations of the 127 publications studied, are sparsely distributed from linotype operators to mailers, and other skilled-to-unskilled workers. The 127 papers and periodicals are further classified as 96 secular, 23 religious and 8 fraternal publications, of whose number 98, 22 and 3 are published weekly, monthly and daily, respectively. Two are bi-monthly issues and of the remaining two, one is a bi-weekly and one is a quarterly publication. G3 of the above publications maintain and operate their own presses, and an additional seven conduct a general printing and publishing business for contract work of a book or job nature. The composing work of seventy of the publications is done at the plants by skilled Negro compositors and their associates. These statistics are taken from a summary of the newspaper and publishing industry prepared by Phil H. Brown of the U. S. Department of Labor, who conducted an inquiry among the 350 publications listed with the Department as of 1918. Of this number, 42 have suspended publication since that year, and 181 of the smaller papers failed to respond JOHN MITCHBILL'S BANK DII NOT FAIL! (Charlotte, N. C., Star of Zion.) The associated press carried a story Sunday of the failure of the Mechanics Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va. This would have produced almost consternation in Negro banking cities had it been as serious as reported. If this bank, headed by John Mitchell, Jr., and supported by big fraternal organizations of Virginia, had failed, it would have affected the most sanguine friends of the colored people's enterprise of banking. But happily it was found to be a hitch of policy between Mr. Mitchell and some state officials and was colored somewhat with politics. The following business day, Monday after the officials announced the closing of the bank, the American Bankers' Association wired President Mitchell an authorization for $100,000.00 for the immediate opening of his bank. This is the end of the chapter, but unfortunately not the end of the story. It will be some time before the country will know that the Mechanics Savings Bank, of Richmond, was not burst, but fighting with political officials, John Mitchell's bank did not fall.

There is a large body of white people in the Southland organized to cultivate a more friendly relationship between the white and colored people. They have had their handicaps and their set-backs, due to selfishness on the part of certain white people and to politics on the part of some others. As strange as it may seem there are yet some white aspirants for other, who believe "away down in their heart of hearts" that the shortest and quickest way to get elected is to drug in the Negro as a political issue. This has a tendency to inflame white folks and it injures the colored ones. Still there are personal friendships between white and colored people, male and female, which tend to counteract this method of attack. Still there are large sections of this State where white people live without hardly ever seeing a colored person except on a train or in an automobile and they are disposed to accept these inflammatory attacks against a helpless race of people at their face value. Colored people cannot do anything about it, of course, but they husband an animosity, which reflects itself in the off-spring and ultimately leads to racial clashes. Another source of this antipathy is the failure to deal fairly with the Negro tax-payer. Proportionately speaking, he pays as much as any one else, but the politician, who depends altogether upon white voters for his election cannot stand the taunting remark that he has made improvements for Negroes. they scent trouble will not get very far in this world. This is a life of "ups and downs," but mostly downs and a very few "ups." People, who run fast sometimes pass valuable opportunities and miss much money. When God calls a person, that person will not remain around these "diggings" very long thereafter. Anxiety is very injurious to the mind and unless a remedy is applied quickly will result in unbalancing it. A man, who can stand a quarrelsome woman is a candidate for Heaven and he should proceed to go there. When you kill off the leader of an army of a people you have the army and the people at your mercy. Some people like to travel in the air and some others like to travel on the ground and some others do not care to travel at all. People who believe themselves used to trouble find themselves disappointed every time some new trouble presents itself. You need not worry about some people. They were born crooked and even their friends and their enemies know it. The colored people of this country have many friends among a class of people whom they believe to be their enemies. People, who talk about other people most are those who have such lives that they themselves can be talked about. Colored people soon get tired of politics. Still this is the only avenue through which fundamental rights can be secured. The hey-da yof labor has passed. It disappeared when the war ended and President Woodrow Wilson left the White House. Make friends with the white people in your community. When you get in trouble, they can and will help you, if you deserve to be helped. You can close a bank mighty easy, but in the matter of reopening the same institution, we have a hard task and we are performing that task. will not get very of "ups and downs," is and a very few fast sometimes passes and miss much a person, that per- around these "dig- thereafter. injurious to the remedy is applied in unbalancing it. in stand a quarrel- candidate for Heav- proceed to go there. off the leader of an you have the army your mercy. to travel in the air like to travel on the others do not care to eve themselves used themselves disappo- the new trouble pre- erry about some pea- crooked and even their enemies know role of this country among a class of believe to be their about other people who have such live- lives can be talked soon get tired of pol- the only avenue fundamental rights labor has passed.

Appeals to those in authority bring promises and scant results. This better class of white people are endeavoring to improve these conditions and under the leadership of far seeing white men and women are doing all in their power to have this short-sighted policy discontinued. We can do much to make their efforts a success. We must give thanks for the little that has been done and pray to God and beg them to do more. We have carefully considered this question and we hope ultimately to work out a plan by which colored people can support white men of the liberal type for political offices, if this support comes no other way than in giving to them a complimentary vote at the polls during the regular election. Much can be done too by election cering among the Democrats themselves. Colored people have influence with their employers and with certain merchants with whom they deal. Lay the case before them and get them in champion the cause of those white men in the legislative branch of the Govern ment, who believe in according justice to the colored people. We have a long ways to go, but we can successfully make the journey to we pray hard and work unitedly more. Let us accept such leadership amongst ourselves as promises to accomplish results. With a strong pull, a long pull and a pull altogether conditions will improve for the colored people in this section of our beloved Southland week in the year and some others can not remain true in this respect for forty-eight hours. People, who sleep well usually live a very long time. People, who cannot sleep at all usually die in a lunatic asylum. The moral of all of this is not to worry and learn to sleep well. Approachable people usually succeed in business. It is not well though for females to be approachable unless they are well on in years and have the experience of a life-time. We are still wondering what has be come of that five million dollar loan for Liberia. That country needs the money and the payment of the amount should not be longer delayed. We have sunshine and then we have dark-clouds, but the two do not usually come together. We have the opportunity to prepare for the one, after we have experienced the other. Be polite, colored folks. Do not let the white folks say that you are boorish and insulting, and so conduct yourselves that the colored folks will not say that about you either. Believe one fifth of what you hear and about one half of what you see and you will soon be a wise individual and well-nigh everybody will respect you. The Ku Klux Klan got tired looking after Negroes and then they went to work on the white folks. Ever since then this organization has been "horning a hard row" and the end is not yet. Some people believe that they will die only when their time comes, but the way that some of these other people are croaking they have an idea that some folks leave this earth before their time comes. With five million men in this country idle, it seems to us to be rather a bad time to strike in the face of existing conditions. But then the labor leaders may know their business. One million people walked in Chicago this week on account of a street-car strike. It is difficult to understand whether they blamed the street-car company or the employees most for this inconvenience. Some people do not like milk and some others do not care for honey, and that is why some of them are not particularly anxious to go to Heaven. They have a good time in this world and prepare to leave for the other place. Colored folks, who go North to improve their living conditions are fooling themselves. The South-land is the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA It is very important that one should keep an appointment and so conduct himself that his word can be relied up on in an emergency. Some colored folks, like some white folks are great tattlers. They take no part in tattling pleasant reports, but glory in circulating unpleasant ones. --- Colored folks, who want to go to Africa to live should be permitted so to do. Those, who wish to remain in this country should let those alone, who are anxious to get away. When colored people decide to act to together and keep together, throwing their influence in the direction of the progressive white folks, who wish them well there will be a different story to tell concerning the final outcome. --- Some people haven't enough confidence in themselves to succeed at anything. Some others are always expecting other people to do things for them and they grow up one sided, falling into a grave filled with disappointments. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri made a most remarkable run for nomination inside of the Democratic Party. He had the "machine" against him and ex-President Woodrow Wilson used his powerful influence to knock him out. Despite all of this, at this writing, he appears to have been nomi- nated over all opposition. He is one of the most brilliant statesmen in the United States Senate and he is a fighter "from away back." --- When adversity overtakes you, it will pay you to notice those who run away from you and those who come to your assistance. You can write those names upon the tablet of the heart and govern yourself accordingly. Hon. Claude A. Swanson seems to have been a winner in the Democratic primary last Tuesday by a majority approximating 70,000. We have never been able to figure out how Ex-Governor Westmoreland Davis had even a "look-in" against this machine candidate after the defeat of Mr. Tucker for the gubernatorial nomination. The railway executives have rejected President Warren G. Hardling's mediation plans for the settlement of the shopmen's strike. The indications now seem to be that each railroad will deal directly with its own employees and the Government will support it to the findings of the Railroad Labor Board. Hon. Claude A. Swanson is the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. The "Lily White" Republicans announce that they will name a candidate for their own to oppose him. We shall await the outcome of this decision. Senator Swanson is popular in Washington and he has a host of friends in this State. He has just had a hard campaign against that tireless political fighter Ex-Governor Westmoreland Davis. He considers that he is as good as elected. The colored folks will have something to say about the matter. They have the choice of remaining at home or naming a candidate of their own. The Conference at Bay Shore tomorrow will result in some interesting developments. . FOUGHT TO THE LAST. The death of Jim Chambers, the colored boot-legged July 28th, 1922 on the Cromwell Farm, near Mason's Creek, Va., a few miles from Norfolk ends a chase, which had up to that time lasted six days. He had killed two prohibition agents, Carey Freeman and Howard Fisher. He is alleged to have been a dangerous character, who had decided to "die with his boots on." The men who sought his capture found out that he knew how to keep his word. It is to be regretted that men of this type exercise characteristics, which should be found in men of upright living. He knew that death in the electric chair was his portion, while the chances of an impromptu lynching were heaving in sigh, so he took the sulkest route to eternity. He came out in the open and with a revolver against shot-gun fire, hastened the end and took a leap in the direction of his long journey. This is the way to die. A trial for him would have been a mockery, so far as any hope to escape the death-chair was concerned. He had ended his career, when he shot those two white men and failed to get aboard an outbound steamer headed in the direction of some foreign land. Sympathy must be expressed for the two white men, who lost their lives in the discharge of a most unpleasant duty. More will "go the way of all the earth" before this farce of prohibition is ended. Evidently Jim Chambers was the agent of "higher-up bootleggers" who sympathized with and helped him. The whiskey business is conducted by white men at the top. Colored men are the agents, who get the worst of the bargain. When will the people of the nation realize and take action with reference to the present incongruous situation? Echo answers, "When?" --- THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS. What will the colored folks do in this State this Fall? This is the question which confronts the conference at Bay Shore tomorrow. Will the colored voters meet in a State Convention and nominate a ticket or will they divide their strength in the support of the nominees of other parties? It seems to us that the question should be fully and fairly discussed and that we should not get tired in contending for rights denied. The white political organization, styling itself, Republican is going ahead just as colorea folks do not reside. In this State. We are adequately informed that their plans and purposes do not in all respects meet the wishes and desires of the occupant of the White House. What can he do about it? The anti-rogro element has control of the machinery of the Party and those white men, who do not agree with them must "walk the plains," so to speak. They are in the fight for patronage and before the campaign is over, they will have finished up or nearly accomplished the task set before them. There are two factions of the "Lily-Whites" and they are having a "jolly old time" all to themselves with the Old Line White Republicans and the colored Re publicans in the offing waiting the out come of the struggle. We shall not anticipate the conference. Can we get colored men, who will be candidates for Congress? In Districts, where the Democrats are friendly to our interests it may not be well to nominate anybody THE WAGE SITUATION The great wage agitation now being conducted in this country is the logical outcome of the continued high wages paid during the war. There is an old saying, "What goes up is bound to come down" and this applies to present day conditions. Can a certain class of workmen keep their wages up above those of their fellows, while millions are idle and tens of thousands are accepting wages practically below those wanted in order to satisfy their ordinary wants? Some people believe that the agitation now being conducted is to prevent a further "cut" in wages. It really begins to look that way. Every sensible man must rejoice to see the laboring men, who are the backbone of the nation well paid. They should not be the victims of capitatisic selfishness, but who is to decide this question? This conflict, this clash had to come, why not now? President Woodrow Wilson temporized and yielded to the labor chiefs, but he is now succeeded by a statesman, who cannot draw from the public treasury to meet labor's demands as he did. The government control of the railroads guarded large salaries, but no one seemed to care whether the earnings of the railroads were sufficiently large to pay those salaries. The government could increase taxation and the burden would necessarily be borne by the people, who were taxed. The wealthy men of the nation were caught in a trap, so to speak at first, but they have learned how to transfer the burden to the people and they are now "laughing in their sleeves" at the final result of the experiment. We have never understood how a railroad company could be responsible for a railroad when some one else, who did not pay the bills, had the dictating of the policy. Labor and the laborers have been sufferers. During the last eight years, under its very able leadership, they have had their inning. Times are changing now. The industrial depression in Europe is having its effect. Thousands of foreigners are looking with longing eyes towards this country, being barred out, now by our strict immigration laws. When this embargo is lifted, the overplus of working men will reflect itself in the downward shift of wages. Then will come the protests and the trouble. For our part, we are glad to see colored people pursuing a conservative course. President Samuel Gompers saw a long way ahead on some of his associates when he accorded equal rights and privileges in the American Federation of Labor. As a result thousands of colored men are remaining loyal to that organization. On the other hand the railway executives have always cultivated a friendly feeling towards their colored employees and many a railroad is being kept in condition by "the brother in black." These problems will settle themselves, not by blood-shed, but by dynamic agitation, which may seem to threaten a veritable war of classes. Then will come to us all—peace. CONGRESSMAN BASCOM SLEMP'S RETIREMENT. No one will doubt now, but what Hon. C. Bascom Slemp meant what he said, when he announced that he would not again be a candidate for office in the Ninth Congressional District. There are underground reasons for this situation of affairs outside of his indisposition from a health stampon. He has been one of the most astute political leaders in this State and he was not well understood by those who had not had a closer contact with him. Sentiment and sympathy had no part in his make up. He dealt with the cool, shrewd caution of a trained manipulator of the game. He yielded a sway in the political affairs at Washington that was astounding. Then came Col. Henry W. Anderson and his crowd and then came a modification of his plans and powers and then came the retirement from active politics, timed with the skill of a mastor and now has come threatened chaos in the Ninth Congressional District. Miss Julia Jalkson, of Columbus, Ga., a teacher in the public school there, is spending the summer in the city the guest of her sisters, Mrs. Sterling Jenkins, 112th and May Streets, Morgan Park, Mrs. C., S. Hugaley, 4717 Champlain Avenue, and Mrs. Mobley, 3725 Elmwood Avenue. Rev. Lawson W. Newland, organizer of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church now The Avenue Baptist Church, a conspicuous character in Baptist circles for a number of years, passed away on July 18th and was buried from The Pilgrim Temple, 313rd Street and Indiana Avenue, July 24th under the auspices of the Ministers Alliance with Rev. A. S. Thomas, of Evanston, presiding. Funeral oration was delivered by Dr. Watson who told of the activities and great good done by Rev. Newland during his connection with Olivet, Ebenezer and other churches in the city. Rev. Newland was the husband of Mrs. N. W. Newland, matron and assistant financial agent of The Enterprise Institute, 514 Alene Square. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., the young University of Chicago student orator and scholar, has just returned to his home from a trip to Rockford Ill, and Keokuk, Ia., where he spoke. Morris as preparing to leave in a few days on a ten day trip through Oklahoma. The population of Morgan Park, the beautiful suburb of the city, is being increased largely through the efforts of M. T. Bailey and other representatives of The Bailey Realty Company, 3638 State St., who have sold more than twelve blocks of property within the last few years. Mrs. Mack Johnson, 11342 S. Elizabeth Street, Morgan Park, entrained at her residence on last Sunday afternoon in honor of the Bluebird Sunday School Class of Quinn Chapel, of which Mrs. Sarah Chambers is teacher. Among the members of the class and friends present were Clemente Nelson, Lillian Smith, Louise Stewart, Dixie Lee, Dorothy Northington, Marlon Reed, Florence McGhee, Consuela Young, Marabelle Wimp, Irene McBride, Ruby, Christine Goodwin, M. T. Balley, Esther and Willie McCutheon. Miss Rhoda M. Johnson and Mrs. Josie Wright, of Quincy, III, who spent the past week in the city in attendance of the State Grand Lodge of Knights and Daughters of Tabor, have returned to their home and will attend the Grand Lodge of S. M. T. at Springfield, August 15, While in the city they were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. 15. Young, 4114 Calmet Avenue. Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett, of Chicago, IL, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Alfreda, and Miss Florence Davis of the public schools of Chicago, will arrive with the Chicago delegation next Monday to attend the biennial of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. Mrs. Barnett is the cause of the organization of the National, as she had incurred abuse by a white writer who denounced her and colored womanhood in slanderous articles and language. At the call of Mrs. Josephine St. P. Ruffin of Boston, women from all over the country flocked to Boston, Mass. in 1895 and issued a national denunciation of their denunciator and a singing endorsement of the then Miss Ida B. Wells and her British campaign against lynching. Having done this they then proceeded to organize for permanent work. Although one of the founders of the National Association, Mrs. Barnett has only attended three of its meetings, Washington, Louisville Ky, and Wilberforce, O. She comes to Richmond because her mother was born in Virginia—she doesn't know where—and although she has traveled all over this country and abroad, this is her first visit to Virginia. Mrs. Barnett is editor and representative of The Woman's Forum, the organ of the District Federation of Women's Clubs of Chicago. Mrs. Barnett can be secured for engagements to speak until the 16th of August by application to the Editor of The Planet, Rirkmond, Va. GRAND LAWN PARTY. There will be a Grand Lawn Party at No. 318 E. Clay Street, August 7, S, and 9th, 1922, under auspices of East End Group, No. 1, of the Fifth Street Baptist Church.

The first six weeks term of the Summer Quarter closed Friday, July 23th. Nearly six hundred teachers from every section of Virginia and a few frow. neighboring states have been in attendance during this first term. Nine different courses were offered, and the teachers availed themselves of the opportunities which were presented through these courses. More than 200 teachers were in the professional courses and fifty three were enrolled in the Normal School persuading the course which leads to the school's diploma and the normal professional certificate. This increase in the number of persons taking the professional course indicates a tendency toward the gradual raising of the standard and status of the teachers of the State. The entertainment of the teachers consisted of free motion pictures, lectures, musical recitals, and the story hour. A feature, however, of the entertainment was an excursion on the beautiful steamer "Gratitude" down the James River to Jamestown. The day was ideal and many teachers from various parts of the state got their first view of this historical section. Another feature of the Summer School was the Sunday School work. A class in Teacher Training work was conducted by Miss Edna M. Colson. A model Sunday School was conducted by Mr. Arthur Faucett of Philadelphia Dr. John M. Gandy in his closing address to the teachers expressed him self as being well pleased with the work of the first term and indicted work of the first term and indicated that this session is the best that has been held at this Institution in recent years. 1917 THE SMALLEST COW AND LARGEST STEER IN THE WORLD.

THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. HAITIAN EDITOR IS JAILED FOR PROTESTING AGAINST FORTY MILLION FORCED LOAN SIX J. Jolibols, of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, editor of Le Courrier Haitien, a leading newspaper of Haiti, was twice arrested and confined to jail during the month of June, for protesting against certain financial powers in the United States forcing a loan of $40,000,000 on the Haitian Government, according to a letter received and made public by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. M. Jolibols has been one of the most outspoken of Haitian leaders in denouncing the acts of the American Occupation. In commenting on the arrest of M. Jolibols and the causes of his having been imprisoned, Mr. Johnson said: "It is obvious that the efforts now being made to force this loan of forty million dollars on the Haitian Government, which the Haitians declare they do not need and do not want, is for the purpose of future justification of continuance of the occupation of Haiti by the United States Government. When unpleasantly direct demands are made on the American Government in the future to end the occupation of this republic, the obvious retort will be that such a step would be impracticable until money loaned, by American banking houses is repaid. "The arrest and imprisonment of M. Jolibois for daring to speak out on a matter regarding which there should be the utmost freedom of speech and press is simply another incident in what is already a record of imperial despotism. In spite of the recent report by the Senate Committee, headed by Senator McCormick of Illinois, which almost completely absolves the Occupation of all blame, the case of M. Jolibois is indicative of just what our neighbors to the south are undergoing in the process of 'benevolent tutelage' by the American Government." GANDHI DECLARES PROGRESS A MYTH. Salvation of India Lies in Using Plow of 5,000 Years Ago. Ahmedarad, India, July 26—Mahatma Gandhi, in prison here for sedition declares his loss of liberty cannot materially affect the progress of Indian nationalism and urges his friends to carry on the work in which Read The Richmond Planet --- he had so large a part. He has no complaint to make regarding his treat ment by prison officials. Gandhi remains loyal to the principle of Swadeshi, which he defines as "that spirit in us which restricts us to the use and service of our immediate surroundings, to the exclusion of the more remote." In religion he would follow only the forms of worship used by his ancestors; in politics he would make use only of indigenous institutions; in economic life he would use only things produced by his immediate neighbors and would serve only those industries which are native to his own country. He is at enmity to with modern civilization. Writing to a friend in India, Grand he explains his beliefs and alms in these words: "There is no impassible barrier between East and West. There is no such thing as Western or European civilization but there is a modern civilization which is purely material. The people of Europe, before they were touched by modern civilization, had much in common with the people of the East. "It is not the British people who are ruling India, but it is modern civilization, through its railways, telegraphs, telephones and almost every invention which has been claimed to be a triumph of civilization. Bombay Calcutta and the other chief cities of India are the real plague spoils. "If British rule were replaced to morrow by Indian rule based on modern methods, India would be no better except that she would be able then to retain some of the money that is drained away to England, but then India would become only a second or fifth nation of Europe or America. East and West can only really meet them the West has thrown overboard modern civilization almost in its entirety. They can also seemingly meet when the East has also adopted modern civilization, but that meeting would be an armed truce. "Medical science is the educated assense of black magic. Quackery is infinitely preferable to what passes for high medical skill. Hospitalis are the instruments that the devil has been using for his own purpose in order to keep his hold on his kingdom. They perpetuate vice, misery, degradation and rent slavery. If there were no host pitfalls for venereal diseases, or even for consumptives, we should have less consumption and less sexual vice among us. "India should wear no machine made clothing, whether it comes out of European mills or Indian mills. "India's salvation consists in unlearning what she has learned during the past fifty years. The railways take graphs, hospitals, lawyers, doctors and such like have all to go, and the so-called upper classes have to learn to live religiously and deliberately the simple peasant life, knowing it to be a life giving true happiness. "There was wisdom in the sages of old having so regulated society as to limit the material condition of the people; the rude plow of perhaps 5,000 years ago is the plow of the husband man today. Therin lies salvation. People live long under such conditions, in comparative peace much greater than Europe has enjoyed after having taken up modern activity." tor was shipped to his home in Bainbridge and the funeral will take place next Tuesday, in Bainbridge, largely at tended by officers and members of Georgia and other states. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES. Newtown, Va., August 1—The Mataponi Sunday School Union met at the First Mt. Olive Church last Sunday. A large crowd disjoined GRIM REAPER CALLED HUTTO AT POST Head of Georgia Pythians Dies at His Post. Georgia Grand Lodge Turned Into House of Mourning, Gigantic Confusion Over Election of Officers. (Jacksonville, Florida Sentnell.) The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, which was in annual session last week in the city of Brunswick was dashed into a thick pall of sorrow over the death of Grand Chancellor Hutto, who died there last Friday morning about 6 o'clock. For the past year the health of the Grand Chancellor had been rather indifferent, suffering from heart troubles, and thought his condition was regarded as rather precarious, yet no one thought the end was so near. The Grand Chancellor presided at the opening of the grand lodge, and on up to Thursday afternoon, when much excitement obtained, growing out of charges of irregularities over the annual election of officers. It is said that it was due to this excitement that the Grand Chancellor broke down and though his physians labored hard he passed away early the next morning. A remarkable incident is that the Vice Chancellor was confined to bed, at his home, and unable to attend the Grand Lodge. The election was held, in fact, two elections, and there are two sets of officers which it may require the civil courts to settle. The deepest sorrow is expressed over the untimely death of the Grand Chancellor, and deeper regrets over the upturn of affairs in the grand lodge. Members and friends of the order sincerely hope peaceful adjustment may be reached. The body of Grand Chancellor Hut- --- tor was shipped to his home in Balmbridge and the funeral will take place next Tuesday, in Balmbridge, largely attended by officers and members of Georgia and other states.

Chancellor refused to consider the offer and refused to permit your Supreme Representatives to present the matte, to the Supreme Lodge at Topeka in 1821, and failed and refused to present the matter to the Supreme Lodge himself. WHEREFORE, the Supreme Lodge having failed to act for or against our proposition, I feel that we have done all that we are bound to do in law and in honor and that we must act in good faith with the loyal members and lodges who have paid this unjust tax I therefore Recommend that, All money that has been collected for the 25 cents Pythian Temple Sanitarium Tax be refunded to the Lodges that have paid same and that the G. K. of R. and S. be instructed to draw the necessary orders on the Grand Master of Exchequer with in 30 days after the adjournment of this session and that the further collection of said tax be discontinued. MISSOURIANS OUTSPOKEN This was adopted by a vote of 40 to 66. The most astounding part of the whole business was the election of Prof. Charles H. Brown of St. Louis as Supreme Representative. He has been an uncompromising opponent of the Pythian Temple Tux all along and in his opposition ranks with John Mitchell, Jr., of Virginia and his associate, E. R. Jefferson, M. D. Sir J. D. Sexton was re-elected Supreme Representative. The next fight will be staged at the New York session of the Supreme Lodge and Missouri will join Virginia in the contest before the Supreme Court at Washington. MACON MOB WREAKS WRATH ON MURDERER OF DEPUTY. Macon, Ga., August 1.—Overtaken by a mob of 300 determined men, a man identified by officers as John Glover, alias "Cockoy," slayer of Walter C. Byrd, deputy sheriff of Bibb County and George Marshall, a colored deputy, was put to death at 1 o'clock today two miles from Holton, just across the line in Monroe County. The prisoner was in charge of Deputy United States Marshal New Derry, who had gone to Griffin for him, and Deputy Sheriff Mullaly. Before Glover was put to death, Mr. Mullaly begged members of the mob to allow the law to take its course. The mob turned deaf ears to the pleadings of the officer however, and tying Glover against a tree, fired several shots into his body. HALT BURNING OF BODY.

The body of Glover, wholly unrecognizable, because it had been so badly mutilated, was brought to Macon this afternoon at 2:30 and dumped on the pavement in front of Hatfield's poolroom, where the shooting took place Saturday night. Thousands of curious persons viewed the mangled body while the police tried to keep order. The body was picked up by deputies from the sheriff's office, after it had lain on the sidwalk for fifteen minutes, and carried away for burial. ARKANSAS STAGES LYNCHING BEE AT HOT SPRINGS. Hot Springs, Ark., August 1.—Gilbert Harris, colored, was taken from officers here this morning and hanged in a public square, following the death early today of Maurice Connelly, an insurance solitary who was shot last night by a burglar. Harris, who was arrested early today, was said by the police to have answered, a description given to a man seen running from the scene of the shooting. He protested his innocence. According to the police Harris served a sentence in the Arkansas penitentiary for burglary. THE SLAYER OF CHAMBERS WAS USING A RIOT GUN. Norfolk, Va., August 1.—That the man who fired the shot or shots which killed Jim Chambers, colored rum-runner and killer, last Friday, must have used a riot gun, was the consensus of every one who attended the coroner's jury hearing on the shooting last night in Justice Wright office at Ocean View. Two flattened bullets exhibited by Dr. A. G. Horton, which were removed from the body of Chambers were undisputably two buckshot which are contained in a riot gun shell. One of the misshapen slugs taken from the head of the dead man, and which caused his death, weighed 56.75 grains. The other, taken from the right leg, weighed 53.90 grains. An unused riot gun pellet weighs about 59 grains. Dr. Horton testified that the loss in weight of the bullet might be occasioned by the chipping off of even an infinitesimal part of the lead. Even a tiny chip would change the weight. The verdict announced, by Justice Wright after the coroner's jury had reviewed the testimony presented by about ten witnesses was that "Jim Chambers came to his death at the hands of officers, whose names are unknown, in the discharge of their duty and in self-defense." The jury offered the suggestion also that having heard the statements of members of the Norfolk police department that they recommend that some consideration in share of the reward be shown to the person who first gave the information to Justice Wright at his office, to Alexander Ananias, and the greater part of the reward be given to the widows of the slain Federal officers, Cary D. Freeman and H. H. Fisher. ON AN EXTENDED MOTOR TRIP.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden.

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be force being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair, Will also Restore the Strength, Vitality and the Beauty of the Hair.
