THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 52 RICHMOND VIRGINIA SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1922 URGES COLORED VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS IN NINTH Editor The Richmond Planet:— Dear Sir—Will you please give this letter space in your paper? With the election but a few days ahead, I wish to ask the colored voters of the ninth district, who are you going to support? Why? We helped to keep congressman Slemp in office, for no other reason than he is a Republican. Mr. Slemp thanked us for our support by reading us out of the party that we made famous by our vote. Mr. Slemp the recognized father of the Lily White movement has handed his mantle down to Mr. Hassinger. And they say, Mr. Hassinger gave a large sum of money toward the colored hospital of Bristol; and they say that he built the colored ward to the Abingdon hospital. We really appreciate this. But listen—when Col. Anderson of Richmond was making the race for governor he made the following remarks while speaking at Barton Heights on the 22nd of last October: "Senator Trinkle (his Democratly opponent) fears the Negro in Virginia politics." Our platform has eliminated the Negro from Virginia politics. Thirty-two Negroes no whild office in the State. They were appointed by Democrats. I have asked Senator Trinkle to join in with me in a movement to have these Negroes removed from office. He has never replied to me on this matter. If I am elected Governor of Virginia, no Negro will ever hold office in this State under my administration." On this same ticket Mr. Hassinger run for Lieut. Governor. They were trying to get into office by using racial prejudice, but they were snowed under by the same people that they appealed to. They say that Mr. Hassinger is a great friend to the colored people. If this is true, why is he running on a Lily White ticket, why is he heading a movement to put the Negro out of politics? If you didn't read how the Lily Whites treated the colored delegates that they invited to the last State convention held in Norfolk get some truthful person to tell you about it; and then get a copy of the preamble to the constitution of the Lily White Republicans and you will find out what Mr. Hassinger stands for. If we don't watch our steps, these few grains of sugar that Mr. Hassinger has given us (and we really appreciate the gift) will get us in a deep loss position and a handful of salt be dammed down our throats. It is useless for the writer to tell you that Mr. Slep and Col. Anderson are among our worst political enemies in this State; but it may be of interest to you to know that Mr. Hassinger has pitched his tent in the Slep-An Anderson camp. Birds of a feather will flock together. Enough said. The colored voters of the ninth district must cease being party followers We must look at the man and not the party. If Mr. Hassinger was as anxious for our support, as we are anxious to support him, he would have put himself where we could support him. As it is he is asking for white votes while Mr. Peery is asking for any body's vote. Ten years ago New York City had no colored police. Today there are more than two scores, and the Democrats put them there. The big white folks are not fighting you, they are your friends and they are tired of these little fellows starting a colored fight in everything that comes up. Have you read what ex-President Wilson said about James K. Vardaman? On the strength of Mr. Wilson's words, the big white folks of Mississippi pi defeated Mr. Vardaman in the last (Continued on Fourth Baro) SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF VETERAN OFFICERS ASSW.

PRESIDENT HARDING RECEIVES DELEGATION TODAY FROM EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE, WITH THE DYER BILL EXTRA SESSION PETITION SENATOR LODGE ARRANGES MEETING AT THE REQUEST OF MASSACHUSETTS CITIZENS MRS. BETTIE FOWLKES. Mr. J. M. Foster, of Moherrin, 604 North 30th Street, Va. visited our office this week. Boston, Mass., Oct. 31.—Today Senator Henry Cabot Lodge telephoned to National headquarters of the National Equal Rights League at 34 Cornbill that in response to his request, sent at the League's solicitation, he had received a telegram from the President's secretary stating that the President would grant an audience to the League to present its petition on the Dyer Bill Extra Session at noon of Saturday, November 4th. The League started the petition for an extra session soon after Congress had adjourned without reaching consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, as a means of expelling, if not actually saving, the bill which was left next on the calendar to the Liberian Loan Bill. Thousands of signatures have been secured from over 15 different states. One is from the President's home town Marion Ohio, another is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, several from Georgia and Mississippi. The petition will be sent by a messenger from Boston who will conduct the audience. The point sought will be to get the President to specify the Dyer Bill in his Call. The race is asked to send such a request to the President from Sunday on—individually, through churches, lodges and organizations and from all political meetings held Monday night; also to ask the senators and congressmen to write the President. Boston, Mass., Oct. 28.—The Colored Citizens of Massachusetts are strongly impressed by two features of the political campaign, namely, the push of the National Equal Rights for a Dyer Bill Extra session of Congress and the unfailing response of Senator Lodge to the League's requests for his assistance. On the 4th instant, the Senator wrote to President Harding urging him to favor the signature petition which the League was promoting for an extraordinary session of Congress and the naming of the Dyer Bill for consideration. In the course of the letter, he said—"I am very glad to call your attention to the careiest desires and hopes of the League and to say personally, I have given to the legislation which they are anxious to have enacted my most cordial support. Friday of this week, the League wired Senator Lodge requesting his "personal efforts to secure an audience with the President next week to present League's signature petition. Today the Senate leader wired back as follows: Nahant, Mass., Oct. 28, 1922. William Monroe-Trotter, Secy. 34-Cornhill, Boston. Have received your telegram and shall be glad to take matter up at once with Secretary to the President. H. C. LONGE NEW JERSEY SENATOR SAYS HE WILL VOTE FOR DYER BILL. Hope It Will Pass In Next Session. As Senator Frelinghysen's attitude on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been the subject of discussion among colored voters of New Jersey, on account of his absence from the Senate on September 21, during the vote to consider that measure; and since there seems to be doubt among those voters concerning the attitude of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People toward Senator Frelinghysen's candidacy for reelection, the Advancement Association is glad to make public today a letter from Senator Frelinghysen setting forth his unequivocal endorsement of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and his intention to vote for it.

I gratefully acknowledge many acts of kindness shown during the recent illness and death of my husband, Mr. Adpheus W. Fowlkes, also for the many expressions of sympathy during the sad hours of bereavement. May God's richest blessings rest on each and every one. MRG. BETTIE FOWLKES. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 SARAH G. JONES' HOSPITAL An Enthusiastic Meeting Held at Sarah G. Jones' Memorial Hospital, Medical College and Training School for Nurses, Inc., on Thursday, October 19th. Many of Richmond's enlightened Physicians and Surgeons were in Attendance Together With Many of our Leading Ministers of the Gospel and Business Men and Women. The regular weekly meeting of the Sarah G. Jones' Memorial Hospital Medical College and Training School for Nurses, Inc., was held at the hospital, 406 E. Baker street, Richmond, Va., Thursday, October 19th, at 5 P. M. Rev. Wm. H. Stokes, Ph. D., President, presiding. Routine business was transacted with dispatch so as to conclude the business session before 7 P. M.; as the Physicians and Surgeons of the city had been invited to attend a special meeting at that hour. Shortly after the adjournment of the business session the Physicians and Surgeons began to arrive, filling the rooms and taxing the seating capacity of the spacious parlor of hospital building to the maximum. Dr. Stokes, the president, in an unusual conventional manner stated the object of the invitation extended to the Physicians and Surgeons to be present, assuring them that it was the desire of the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital, Medical College and Training School for Nurses, Inc., to have them identify themselves with the movement; to help plan and operate the hospital in co-operation with the Ministers of the Gospel and laymen; making the hospital a grand success such success as will reflect credit to our group in Richmond. Dr. W. T. Johnson the Secretary folowed with timely remarks, urging the Physicians to join heartily in the movement to give Richmond's Colored citizens and up-to-date Hospital. Every Physician and Surgeon present expressed themselves as being in accord with the movement and pledged support of the hospital in co-operation with the Ministers, the Business Men and Women and the public generally in the operation of a community hospital. Arrangements are underway for the needed improvements to the property which will put it in splendid shape for hospital purposes. Communications are being sent through the mails to the pastors of all Churches, to all Fraternal Societies, Social Clubs and Associations, and to Business places and corporations, soliciting contributions towards the necessary cost of purchase of the property and and the improvements required to put the same in proper condition for hospital purposes. It is earnestly hoped that the Pastors will place these communications before their congregations in the manner calculated to produce the best results, and that substantial contributions will come from each and every Church, and that all Fraternal Institutions, Social Clubs and Associations, Business concerns and corporations, will respond with substantial contributions. Richmond should have a first class community hospital, and this our opportunity to put it over successfully. May we not count on your co-operative in making the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital. "Donation Day," November-30, 1922 a success? RAISE $25,005 IN "Y" DRIVE. Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 1.—The Y. M. C. A. Equipment Fund Drive closed here last Monday night under the direction of Dr. J. E. Moreland, with over $25,000 subscribed for the new building of the Colored Men's Branch here. The building is almost complete and Secretary S. R. Morsell stated last Sunday that the way in which the people of this city and vicinity rallied to the support of the effort of the equip to the support of the effort to equip the new structure was gratifying. The building when complete will represent the outlay of nearly $300,000. It is said to be the finest in the country. SCHOOL KIDDIES' FINANCES Statists from the school savings system in Richmond Public Schools show that school children here are developing a fine penchant for saving. Last week 11,406 children made deposits aggregating $3,136.76. The report states that the desire to save is stronger among colored children than among the white ones. This is a good augury for the future. Providence Park and Buchanan Schools are mentioned among the honor schools. Parents are urged to aid in developing this savings habit and cultivate thrift among the school children Y: W. C. A. LAUNCHES A GREAT CAMPAIGN Y: W. C. A.

OUTLINES A POLITICAL POLICY FOR THE COLORED RACE FOR YEAR 1924 SAYS EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO ELECT ONE OR MORE COLORED CONGRESSMEN. The Fall Campaign is on. The two great political parties are facing each other in battle array. The issues that divide them are neither deep nor profound. No definitive distinction has yet been stated. The party that is in, wants to stay in; the party that is out, wants to get in. The conservatism of the Republican party is a political constant. The Democratic attitude is shifting and variable. The Northern progressives find themselves fettered by bonds of inequality with Southern reactionaries. The liberalism of Tilden and Cleveland and Wilson is counterbalanced by the provincial vehemence of Wilma and Watson and Vardaman. The Negro stands beheadzied between the lukewarm favor of the Republican and apprehensive fear of the Democratic. The attitude of the two parties is rapidly gravitating to the lower level of the traditional Southern policy. The Negro's attitude towards the present administration may well be expressed by a Kipling quatrain: MRS. PEARL G. ARMSTEAD DEAD. Pocahontas, Va.—Mrs. Pearl G. Armstead, of Wolfe, W. Va., the beloved wife of J. W. Armstead, postmaster and merchant of the above named town, died September 11, 1922, age 29 years, 11 months and 15 days. She had only been sick for about two hours and her death was quite a shock to her family and the community. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Howe, of Pocahontas, Va. She was a graduate of the B. C. I. Uuefield, W. Va., June 8, 1918 and was married December 1, 1918 to J. W. Armstead. The funeral services were held in the First Baptist Church, Pocahontas Va., Rev. W. H. Inman officiating, assisted by Dr. W. M. Henry and Dr. Borger of the M. E. Church, Dr. Inman, her pastor, paid a glowing tribute to the beautiful Christian life of Mrs. Armstead, how she had ad "For to admire and for to see, For to behold this world so wide, It never done no good to me, But I can't dren it if I tried." And so he will go into the FATI Campaign under stimulus of the same old appeal and with expectation of the same old blind man's bluff. The established policy of the Republican party offers little or no constructive advantage for the Negro. The bad precedence set by Taft and continued by Harding is not likely to be changed by their successors. There is no sign of relief in sight. The presidential campaign of 1924 will be of great significance in the political history of the race. The Republican can mangers will of course try to hoodwink him with the same old game of vacuous campaign promises, which has worked so successfully for the past ten quadrennials. It must in all candor be said that the Negro political manipulators have heredofore displayed little statesmanship. They have been content to round up the Negro vote and to receive or distribute the cold crumbs of patronage. I am describing rather than criticising our political leadership which under all of the difficult circumstances has done perhaps all that it could. But the outstanding fact still remains that no constructive or comprehensive program has yet been forthcoming. The nomination of independent Negro candidates for president, senators and governors, merely as a process against the Republican apostacy has not yet resulted in any clear advantage to the race. The vindictive spirit is more apt to hurt than to help. To contribute even indirectly to the national triumph of the Democrats to spite the Republicans, is a rather risky procedure of the dominant element of the benefitted party. The average Republican would rather see his Democratic rival elected than yield to the threats of the Negro recalcitrants. The Negro cannot hope for much further racial advantage through appointive positions. All government a pointes must be loyal to the powers that appointed them. They cannot represent the Negro where his interests run afloat the adopted policy of the administration. The chief function of "the black cabinet" is to vindicate the ways of the administration to the Negro. Appointive offices in all grades and departments of the government are the Negro's just due because of his party fealty and by reason of his potentiality in every feature of governmental power. But complainsit office holders, by the very nature of their appointment and tenure, are disqualified to demand or contend for the rights of the people. There remains not one ray of hopes in the political opportunity of the Negro voter in the North. The race amidst the encircling gloom. It resides in the political opportunity of the Negro voters in the north. The race must seek elective expositions which rest directly upon the suffrage of the people. Unless the Negro is able to send his own members to city councils, to state legislatures and to the Congress of the United States there is little hope for further political progress. No white man, hover kindly disposed can speak for the Negro or impress his claims upon the mind and heart of the American people. He may indeed speak about the Negro, but he cannot for him. The black man must plead his (Continued on Eighth Page.) MRS. PEARL G. ARMSTEAD DEAD, Pocahontas, Va.—Mrs. Pearl G. Armstead, of Wolfe, W. Va., the beloved wife of J. W. Armstead, postmaster and merchant of the above named town, died September 11, 1922, age 29 years, 11 months and 15 days. She had only been sick for about two hours and her death was quite a shock to her family and the community. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Howe, of Pocahontas, Va.

W. I. Inman officiating, assisted by Dr. W. M. Henry and Dr. Berger of the M. E. Church, Dr. Inman, her pastor, paid a glowing tribute to the beautiful Christian Life of Mrs. Armstead, how she had accepted Christ in her childhood. The obituary was by Dr. Henry, of Wolfe W. Va. The floral designs sent were a wilderness of flowers. The wreaths and many other designs were very costly. Among the most costly was one wreath sent by Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Manns, of Huntington, W. Va., who came to attend the funeral. Mrs. Armstead was a member of the Household of Rho, No. 822, of Pocahontas, which organization had charge of the body. Condolences were read, from the Household, white friends, her expasor, Rev. W. E. Lee, of High Street Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va. It was said by many who had witnessed large funerals in this town, that this was the largest funeral hold in Pocontahas for many years. Mrs. Armstead was well known and beloved. She is survived by the following: Her husband and two-year-old son, father and step-mother, one brother, J. W. Howe, Jr., one sister, Mrs. Hattie L. Bailey and a host of friends who mourn their loss. — May Manfield. Religious Notes The Ministers Conference of Richmond and vicinity will hold its meeting next Monday morning, 11 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. rooms, 515 North Seventh street, at which time Rev. S. L. Bush will preach. All members and friends are asked to attend on time. On last Wednesday night, October 25th, Fifth Baptist church honored it self and pastor by presenting to the pastor a large supply of house-hold groceries and a purse of more than twenty dollars. This they say is an exposition of gratitude for service to their pastor and their determination to be loyal to him in the work of the church. The pastor and family wish to thank the church and friends for their time by gifts and expressions. Rev. Dr. T. J. King completed his seventh year as pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday. During his pastorate the church has developed a rich spiritual tone, a harmonious working organization, and a modern financial system. During this seven year period the church has added 2,000 members and, contributed $85,000.00. Commencing Sunday, November 5th and ending Friday, November 17th, St. John and Providence Baptist churches will engage in a soul saving series of Union Revival services. Rev. J. J.

C., Oct. 31.—Naval H. Thomas filed a letter of protest with the librarian of the Carnegie Library against the discrimination practiced there against colored girls. The library gives a 40-week course to library science, with free tuition, to the white girls of the city, and then guarantees them positions in the library. He followed up his written protest by a personal visit only to be told by the librarian that since the schools are separate he felt justified in excluding colored people from training and employment in the library. When seen by a representative of this paper, Mr. Thomas made the following statement: "Yes, I did file a protest with Mr. George Bowerman, the librarian, who receives his salary from the pockets of black as well as white people. He told me that he made up his mind 18 years ago that he was not going to employ any colored girls in professional capacity; that he would employ them as Charwomen only. His chief defense was that we had separate schools here. He met my every argument with that statement. I told him that the 35 cents per capita which his last report shows the library to cost came from the pocket of every Negro as it did from that of every white citizen; and that his misuse of a public office to maintain the ante-bellum attitude toward my race by confining its beautiful womanhood to mental service is worse than conscienceless. "He then said that he had no prejudice; that he had known Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. I quickly told him that I regretted that he caught so little of their nobility. I told him that the other branches of the municipal and federal service were ahead of him in recognition of the Negro's claims, and he said: "I admit that it takes courage to take my stand." I replied that it took Cowardice rather than courage to strike a helpless people. I have interviewed many a public official and influential private citizens in the interest of this great people. but this is the first time any man ever said that he was courageous in catering to the prejudice around him. He even suggested that since we had separate schools that we might some day be prohibited from even reading in the library." Mr. Jones Here. Mr. John D. Jones of Readsville, Massachusetts was in the city last week with his four charming daughters. Misses Laura B., Lillie M., Pauline D., and Edith P. Jones. They are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Walter D. Jones on West Marshall street. They have been visiting Darlington, S. C., and Williamson, West Va. Mr. Jones is the son of the late Stephen D. Jones, who a decade ago was choir-lender of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. --- FAMOUS HOSTELRY DESTROYED BY FIRE. (Preston News Service) Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 3.—The Washington Hotel a two-story brick structure in Broad street was ruined by fire here early Thursday morning and seven business establishments on the first floor of the building were badly damaged by smoke and water. The loss is estimated to aggregate $500,000. Mrs. Biss' Washington, owner of the hotel, is said to be the heaviest loser. She stated that the loss was partly covered by insurance, but that she lost several thousand dollars worth of jewelry which was uninsured. The hotel was filled with guests who had a narrow escape with their lives. The flames spread rapidly and threatened to wipe out the entire block before the firemen could get it under control. The establishments damaged by the fire are: Sherman's Cafe, Bollman's Pool Room, R. C. Frazier's Shoe repair shop, McKissick's Tallonings Shop, a Confectionery Store, a Cigar Factory and Barber Shop. It is said that most of those places were covered with insurance. COUE SYSTEM OF SELF-HEALING TO BE TRIED IN THE UNITED STATES IN JANUARY TEACHER OF REMARKABLE METHOD OF CURE COMING TO RELIEVE SUFFERING. TWO Every c. ty, town and hamlet in the United States may yet have its own Lourdes, perhaps without the religious fervor of the ancient French place of healing, but with modern miracles as astounding as anything ever recorded by a Christian pilgrimage." To those who have followed the remarkable successes of "Dr. E. Coue of Naney in his conferences in Paris and London on "Applied Psychology" the above declaration by one of his closest disciples has but one explanation—M. Coue is going to the United States next January and will carry to a score of large American centers his new interpretation of the Scriptural infunction. "Man, heal thyself!" humor. M. Couce conflicting reports have been circulated as to M. Couce's methods the tremendous wealth he is supposed to be amassing from the sufferers who are convinced that he possesses a singular power of healing; the quiet, flower-encircled sanatorium where nervous members of the nobility of Europe are said to be paying vass sums to have M. Couce treat their maladies by mystic passes of his hands and unique hypnotic influence. But these stories are false, for a personal investigation for The New York Herald shows. First. M. Couce, for thirty-years a respected drugalist in the Nancy district, is tremendously wealthy, and refuses to accept either payment or gifts for such services as he is able to render, and even pays his own expenses whenever he leaves Nancy to expound his doctrine. Second. There is no Cone sanatorium—merely a small, stucco covered cottage adjoining his own garden, where he and two disciples, one a young woman graduate of the Beaux Arts in Paris daily receive the scores of patients who come to listen to M. Cone's explanation of his belief and to witness results attending their first visit. If fact, once the Cone idea is grasped there is no need for further sitting at the feet of the "Master-teach er" as his foe, is fondly called him. Cone visits from England to the States and every part of the Continent have come to Nuney intending to stay days or weeks if necessary. After one interview they have gone away as inspired and as capable of carrying on the work of healing as is M. Cone him self. ONE SIMPLE LESSON ENOUGH IF REINFORCED BY FAITH For M. Cone has merely found a way of expressing in simple terms and with actual results convincing those who are willing to be convinced the world old truth that "a sound mind, i. e., a fundamentally sound nervous structure, means a sound body." By instilling this truth in just one simple lesson and by an implicit trust that nature will so direct her mysterious agencies in the human system so as to bring the human organs into her mind with a properly directed mentality (M. Cone calls it a subconscious imagination) the way is open to health. I do not do it myself," say M. Cone. "I merely show the way, but I am convinced that if the method I teach is made a basic part of the training of the next two generations the world will benefit, for a stronger, nobler race will be the inevitable result. My sole aim is to devote my last days to the helping of my fellow men." The skepic arriving in Nancy soon has his doubles assailed. Hotel keepers chauffeurs, restaurant waiters, the man in the street—all have stories of friends who believe in Couceism. Only the medicines shake their heads wisely and refuse to express an opinion, but even they admit that the fame of M. Couce and his pupils is reaching far and wide. It seems that Couceism has the infectious quality of success, and he is a leader in organizing a village group for the application of psychologic teaches to the Ills which beset daily life—whether of a moral or physical character. This will be M. Couce's aim in the United States and his colleagues are convinced that progress will be much more rapid there than in tradition bound Europe. PATIENTS GATHER IN BARE ROOM AND READ MOTOTOES ON Of what does a Coue "conference" consist? Imagine an undecorated up per room perhaps ten feet square, with camp stools and kitchen chairs limina the walls. Between twenty and thirty "patients" can be accommodated here, and as they come from all classes of life, young and old, either M. Coue or one of his assistants opens the conference by calling attention to the Coue motte, prominently displayed on the wall. "Every day, from every point of view, I am getting better and better." By repeating this, as an old woman will repeat her Litany, twenty times on arriving and twenty times after a comfortable position has been found in bed at night. M. Coue insists that the mind will accept this suggestion, unconscionably, as an established face. Once, the mind is convinced, nature does the rest, for the organs of the body, the respiratory, circulatory, digestive systems are all dependent upon the workings of a healthy nervous organism. Every condition which doctors insist will not require known treatment must eventually yield to the vital superiority of this healthy imagination—and as some of the calls, crippled for years with rheumatism, to smile and doubt the wisdom of their wasting time with M. Coue, the conference enters upon its practical, laboratory stage. Without calling the individual pattern into a private room, the lecture, asks each the nature of his or her per ticular alumment. One grand-motherly old lady—she admitted 72 years—groomed with rheumatism in her knees. "I haven't been able to walk comfortably and without a cane for more than ten years," she told The New York Herald's correspondent. "But you'll soon walk as well as ever." M. Coue rolplos. MUST TEACH HERSELF NON- EXISTENCE OF PAIN And then, in a few brief sentences, the Cone theory is again expounded, but this time applied to her own case; she is told that she feels pain morely because she has taught herself that she must feel pain when she walks, and that if she teachers hersel the nonoxistence of pain in her aged knees her subconscious imagination will not allow her to feel pain, shut you down as rapidly as she can pass "On pass" (it is going) she is told, and after two minutes of this mental exercise much to the surprise of the other patients, the old lady walks nimbly around the room. "But I still feel a little pain," she in sists, holding on to her rheumatism with all the affection accrued by years of constant presence. "Then we'll repeat the suggestion, and after another minute or so, while an assistant lightly rubs the remobilizing knees, the patient finds the remobilizing rubs around her head; she fairly runs around the chairs, walks up and down stairs and finally and ungrudgingly admits, "Mon dieu, I haven't been able to to that for five years.

Couce, and the patient is then told that the pain wr., probably return but that it can always be driven away by the power of auto-suggest, until finally it is overcome by the healthy organization to arrive at if the form of Couce is repeated morning and night, but with conviction that it is true: "Every day, from every point of view, I am getting better and better. The formula never changes, but is applied successively to skin diseases, stomach ulcers, beginnings of paralysis, neuritis, trembling of the bursa, in fact even the ultimate diseases. Two ways wheezing with asthma of one standing, experimenting with it with "Ca passp", and rejoice to find that they can walk up the steep staircase without losing their breath. A child of twelve, with a catact appearing over one eye, reports for further assurance: the cataract has already diminished. In this case M. Cone does not hesitate to recommend that a doctor also be seen, but insists that the doctor address it be supplemented by a training of the conscious imagination toward health. "Last Monday my whole body was covered with oezmic soress," an evident laborer tells The New York Herald "The doctors said it would take weeks and that I couldn't work. I only foi lowed M. Cone's orders for four days (it is now Friday) and I have only these two small patches on my ankles' for by some strange freak nature seems to draw such maladies always to ward mother earth. "I had rheumatism years ago and for years I haven't been able to close my hand more than this," relates a well known society leader, who has accompanied her husband "more out of the window" in the nursing. "The hand has been "cured" of a severe pain, in the back, which only a stout, hand carved stick would relieve. A cursory examination of madame's hand shows that there is no ankylosis, and the simple formula is recited. "Now close your hand," commands the lecturer, and with the usual exclamations of surprise and dismay that her doubts have been dispelled in the presence of witnesses the funnies are found to be claused so tightly and painlessly that they can be forced open on them. All this happens in a well lit room; the patients know each other well and probably have, in cases, concludes each other over their affluence. It is little wonder that they agree to follow Counsel henceforth and spread the new gospel among their associates. MEDICAL MEN DOUBT The medical profession naturally considers that M. Coue "cures" are largely in cases of an exaggerated net vous character and that no organic disease will respond to the simple an instance of two sentences. But M. Coue denies this, and has now published a booklet telling of more than a hundred successful "cures". These cover every phase of organic trouble, and after reading certificates from official hospital radiographers telling how a stomach ulcer, or even an embryonic tumor, had disappeared after they had photographed it only a few weeks before the patients started taking Coueism it is difficult to remain in the ranks of the unbelievers. M. Coue has already received invitations from more than fifty American cities to lecture on his "method" and personal letters from highly placed political and social personages, continuing to ask that the new evangelist he spread, the Rev. James W. without further delay. As in the case of England, where Lady Beatty first sponsored his efforts, and where later such social leaders as Lady Ampthill and Lady Gray admit that he succeeded where doctors failed, M. Coue's expulsion effort in the United States expressed no other read on than its probable effect, the representative thought of the matter as expressed by acknowledged leaders. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

C., Oct. 25.—According to reports Governor Harvey is considering seriously to either reduce the sentence or parole David Barnum, under death sentence in the state penitentiary for an alleged attempt at criminal assault on a young white 21r. Barnum's case is said to be a curious one. He was convicted of criminal assault and sentenced by the late Judeo Melver to be electrocuted. His case was appealed, the appeal never perfected and he has never been resentenced. He was sent up in 1313. In the hapse of time attention has been brought to bear on the case when the Governor found that Barnum has been in the state prison under a peculiar status and much pressure has been brought to bear on the governor. Barnum was found guilty of Bornum's innocence of the charge and should never have been convicted. Barnum, at the time of his arrangement had no money nor friends, and Attorney Hydrick was appointed by the court to defend him. Edward L. Mann, later elected in Congress prosecuted the case. Attorney Hydrick appealed the case, arresting electrocuted the man whom he solicited to succeed Congressman Mann, he got a hesitancy in stressing the man who had been his client, though with out monetary consideration. There the case rested and Barnum remained in prison. It is said that Governor Harvey has given a great deal of thought to the matter; that there was nothing produced at the trial which would demon- chiseled, or committal of the crime, murdered, murdered the attendant, physician's testimony regarding the physical circumstances surrounding the alleged crime, was demonstrative that it had not been committed. Since he has been delving into the case the governor has received a petition from prominent citizens in Orange county asking for elemen- which was signed by many of the jurors. The foreman of the jury, is said to have come in his automobile a distance of fifty miles, to urge the governor to do something in the case, R. T. Dougherty, cacher of the bank at North and Carriage Land Bank at Columbia, who were held the prosecutors of Barnum who lived on their farm, have asked for elemen- It is said that the Governor has intimated to friends that he is of the opinion that Barnum has suffered enough and he does not think he should remain quiescent. In the case and leave Barnum to remain behin- the bars for the remainder of his life, particularly when he is undoubtedly innocent of the particular offense for which he has been sentenced to death TWO MEN HELD FOR SHOOTING 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa. Oct. 26.—Miss Ariza Clark, aged 16 years, of Edri, Pa., died in the West Pann Hospital here last Wednesday night from a bullet wound in the side, received late last Tuesday night in a shooting affray in her home in Edri, a small mining town. James Clark, aged 42, father of the girl end I. T Williams said to be a friend of the family are being held by the Pittsburgh police pending investigation of the crime. Both men, the police say, failed to make a satisfactory explanation of the shooting. It is said that at first the insisted that the shooting was accidental, miming the girl had been wounded when they or was accidentally dropped to the floor and discharged Later the father is said to have changed his story and said the shooting was not accidental and accused Williams. According to the police, Clark said Williams was his daughter's bead and that Williams shot her in a jealous fit after accusing her of receiving attention from other mon. The girl kept house for her father, her mother, having died several years ago. GOES TO MAKE INFORMATION AGAINST KLANSMAN; ARKESTER (Preston News Service) St. Clarville, O. Oct. 24.—An impromptu Ku Klux Klan stunt staged here last Saturday night resulted in the arrest on the charge of carrying concealed weapons of Emanuel Cope. According to reports a crowd of white men, (hooded) went to the home of a white man where Cope roomed, evidently planning to force Cope to leave. A shotgun was fired and according to the officials, at least one man was struck by buckshot. The crowd left and later when Cope wont to the police headquarters to cause the arrest of a member of the hooded crowd a revolver was seen in Cope's pocket and the charge was filed against him. KANSAS REPUBLICAN CONVEN- TION ENDORSES DYER BILL$ "The twelfth Republican State Convention has put into its platform a plank endorsing the Dyer Ant-Lynching Bill, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70F Fifth Avenue, New York. This latest endorsement comes from Kansas and is due to the efforts of Jas. H. Guy, a law professor of the Executive Branch, of the Topela Branch, N. A. A. C. P. The states in which Republican Conventions have endorsed the Dyer Bill are: Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia; New Jersey; New York; Massachusetts; Rhode Island; California; Delaware; Missouri and Kansas. In three of these states—New Jersey New York and Massachusetts—Democratic Conventions have also endorsed the Dyer Bill. The text of the Kansas State Republican plank on the Dyer Bill is as follows: "We commend the Kansas delegation in the national congress for multivided and unifying efforts in support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and recommend a continuation of their efforts for its enactment into law."

SUBSCRIPT RATES One Year ... $ 2.00 Six Months ... 1.10 Three Months ... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ... 2.50 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922. Winter is about here and some people are suffering. Rich people as a rule do not appreciate fully the sufferings of the poor. Some people depends altogether up on prayer and not at all upon work Both should operate together. Some people are never satisfied They are not even satisfied, when the time comes for them to die. Some people stir up trouble all the time, instead of endeavoring to promote peace. Advocating a living wage for the working man is all right, but common sense must be exercised in getting it The Liberian Loan is still held up and a strong effort will be made to enact it into law at the next session of the Congress. Colored folks should be careful of what they say. Tongue is a blessing to some people and a curse to some others. Some people may have been born with a conscience, but they seem to have lost it somewhere on life's journey. The present city government may not be doing al that it can do, but it is a tremendous improvement on its predecessors. Do not worry about misrepresentation and falsehood. These are part of the burdens of this life and this condition will exist until the end of time. People, who roll stumbling blocks in other people's door will not be long in finding a pile of then one morning, who nthey come out to go about their daily labors. We are trying to thank all of our subscribers, and friends, who realize the struggle under which we are now laboring and who have been responding to our appeals by sending in money for their subscriptions. Editor William Monroe Trotter of the National Equal Rights League is tireless in his denunciation of existing wrongs and his advocacy of just measures for the protection of the rights of all the people. A protective tariff, conservatively enacted is practically the only safeguard for the working man in this country and such a tariff should be consistently supported. It is nonsense to talk about living wages and then batter down the tariff wall that makes the e wages possible in this country. Over here, they say they have peace in Europe. Overthere, they say they have war. The people over there ought to know. They have the League of Nations over there too, which is known as the Woodrow Wilson-Lloyd George remedy for the prevention and the stopping of wars. People, who tried the remedy announce that it is "no good." The Young Women's Christian Asso- claation is now making a drive for $2, 030.00 to aid this most beneficent work for our young women and we hope that it will be generously support ed. Practically every person will have an opportunity to contribute to the cause. This is a most meritorious understanding and it should be goner ously supported. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is making a great campaign for the enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Just why any one should oppose its enactment is a mystery to us, for all lovers of law and order must admit that it is a long step in the direction of curbing the lynching evil, which has been increasing in virilence throughout the country. It is not a sectional issue and we hope to see the measure upon the statute books of the country. Certainly, the Republican Party is pledged to its enactment and this necessarily binds every Republican member of Congress to support the measure. Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas had read the "riot act" to the Ku Klux Klan" in that State. He declared that it is built-up race prejudice and religious bigotry. He has instructed the Attorney-General of that State to proceed against the organization. In a time-timed speech, he condemned the Ku Klux Klan as opposing Catholics and he condemned Catholics, who say that they will not vote for a Protestant to hold office. He announced that both were in the same class. Who will deny that he is right? He declared that the Ku Klux Klan movement would lead to a civil war. We have never been able to see it in any other light. So far as we are able to view the situation, the klansman movement is un-American. Let the organization discard its masks and hoods and come out in the open, so the world may realize and know the class of men composing the organization. The State Corporation Community was at first announced as having imposed a fine of one thousand dollars, on the Ku Klux Klan for doing business in this State without a license and now this has been changed to read that the organization has been summoned to show cause why it should not be fined this amount for operating in this State. As no one seems to be willing to admit that he is an officer in the organization and those, who did belong to the klan are known as an Anglo-Saxon organization, a condition exists which is decidedly interesting, to say the least. The local body no longer affiliates with the national one. This, to our mind is the beginning of the end. Colored people and white people must live together in this commonwealth on a reciprocating basis of friendship. One has always helped the other and they will always go to God rules in the affairs of men and conditions will steadily improve despite the pessimistic expressions of some people. THE TALE BEARER We cannot understand why any one should put out a report to the effect that Cashier Emmet C. Burke had resigned his position with the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. The evident purpose was to injure the institution with which he is connected. His services have been invaluable and it is criminal to injure or to attempt to injure a solid banking institution that has weathered many similar storms. Colored people should support the bank. When they talk, let their words be in favor of the institution and not against it. We had not heard the report until we saw it in the St. Luke Herald and we are glad to know that few people have become uneasy and that the bank is meeting promptly all of its obligations. We are having enough trouble in Richmond already. Leave St. Luke Penny Savings Bank alone. If you cannot help it, do not blind it. THE OUTLOOK. Next Tuesday, the election will determine the complexion of the United State Senate and the House of Representatives. The indications are that while the Republicium majority in both branches will be reduced, they will not be wiped out and President Harding will have the support of both branches of the government. There is much insurgency inside of the Republican Party and the reduction of this majority will make it all the more noticeable. The contest, in New York and Ohio will be watched with interest. It is essentially necessary that the Republican can should win in both places, Gov. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Mittler is faced by one of the most popular men the Democratic Party has yet produced and should he win, it means a long time in the wilderness for the Democratic Party, not only in New York State, but in the country. The liquor question is now being made an issue in many states, although it was believed that the Volstead Amendment to the Constitution of the United States settled that question. In Virginia, there is but little to interest the average voter. The Democrats will win. The "Lily-white" have nominated candidates and in many districts, the disgruntled coed voter is a factor. The trouble with the colored folks is that they express their resentment, as a rule by staying at home. This is a negative protest that is not emphasized at the point. They have a nominee for the United States Senate and to support him would be a ringing protest against present party conditions. The Democrats have renominated one of their ablest chieftains. His success is after-gone conclusion. ATTORNEY GENERAL DAUGHERY TYS' ADMISSIONS. Attorney General Henry M. Daugherty, in a campaign speech delivered recently said: I do desire to discuss in a limited way, limited only because of limited time, several of the most important matters which are now engaging the attention of the Department of Justice and of your government. All of us understand that a great government, such as ours, can have no malice; it must be just and it must be honest to all alike. This sounds all right and as a principle is sound to the core, but is the Government of the United States pursuing such a policy? Most people, who have "felt its sting" are of the opinion that in the attempted exercise of justice it is "unjust to all alike." He says: I want you to keep in mind that the war ended on November 11, 1918, and from that day until the 4th of March 1921, responsibility of conducting the vitally important legal business of the government rested upon the previous administration. The war being over, those in positions of responsibility should immediately have begun the work of settling the affairs of the government in order that we might forget the horrors of the conflict, assistant who had been helpful and who had been hurtful, square the accounts and close the books. Nothing of this character was undertaken. No suits were brought to correct mistakes and enforce adjustments. Until this administration was installed, no attempt was made to dig out the acts of dishonesty that on every hand were charged not only by those in politics, but by well meaning persons, regardless of politics, who were compelled to foot the bills. Stagnation prevailed and multitudinous claims and unadjusted accounts of every caliber and description were piled high in one conglomerate maze when the present administration came in. Barbed-wire entanglements of modern warfare were simply as compared with the artfully contrived barricades thrown up in concrete form about the countless cases of national and international importance. But no word of criticism is heard on the inactivity of the previous administration in this respect, because such conduct suited those who have been the most critical of the Department of Justice, since much has been started and much has been done. No one even slightly acquainted with the facts will doubt the accuracy of this assertion. He continues: A great majority of the individuals and a great majority of the industrial concerns who transacted business with the government during the war period were honest in their representations and activities. Others unfortunately were not, and it was the duty of the Department of Justice as quickly as it could be done, as quietly and in as dignified a manner as it could be accomplished, without sensationalism, to ascertain what transactions were honest and what dishonest; what persons grafted, if any, and who were to be placed on the golden roll of honour or and beyond suspicion. No one will ever know is the answer: He says: The Department of Justice, therefore immediately began and is continuing to exercise in the interest of the government and its people all of its great powers to see that justice may be kept alive. The war fraud cases, under investigation by a corps of experts, representing the best legal minds obtainable within the limitations, and even far beyond the limitations because of their personal sacrifice, fixed in the appropriation for the payment of compensation, will be cleared up as rapidly as human energy can accomplish the stupendous task made so difficult through the complicated and inexhaustable confusion attending all such wartime transactions. And again: Some disloyal and incompetent employees had to be ferreed out and kicked out. The records of the war transactions had to be built up from scraps of paper and the faulty memory of witnesses in many cases scattered over the world. Those who were under suspicion and with guilty conscience had been at work for months and years to prevent the day of reckoning. Every known method of interference and intrigue had been adopted.

Money in properly and criminally secured in war transactions was more in amount for defense than the government had for investigation and prosecution by civil and criminal proceedings. The scoundrels struck from behind. They hid behind willing or innocent tools who were induced to make attacks on faithful agents and officers of the government for the promised consideration of notoriously spectacular and sensational temporary prominence. They had no regard for the government; they had no regard for conscience; they had no regard for the character of any man in position high or low, who, in a painstaking way was trying to get at the truth, to protect the good name of the innocent on the one hand, and, on the other, trying to get dependable testimony to prove the fraud if any, and to find who were actually the criminals. No name was sacred, and, in fact no life was safe if it stood in the way of their escape. This is a plain, tacit statement of conditions in the "white man's" government. He says: As soon as we could become acquainted with the persons with whom we were to be associated, the work was begun by the regular force. Others were added as the funds at the command of the department permitted. Without sensational announcement published notice or vinging/orious promise, the work was started. Up to this moment, as the directing head of the Department of Justice, I have never, in public speech or in public print, mentioned the name of a man or a concern under investigation until the court proceeding was properly instituted and th. records of the proceeding had served as an announcement to the entire world. It is the duty of the Department of Justice to protect as well as prosecute. The Department continued to do this important work quietly as long as it was permitted to do so. As soon as it became known how effectively the work was going on, the storm broke. When all available funds of the department had been exhausted, Congress was asked for financial assistance. It was necessary to pass laws to make it possible to bring certain suits, extra grand juries had to be provided, for so that the investigation might proceed; extra judges had to be authorized in order that the court might get at the cases expeditionally. Legislation for this purpose was compiled to take its course, but was hurried as rapidly as possible, and the last bill necessary in the carrying on of the department's fraud work has only recently become a law. Remember, the request for the appropriation of half a million dollars for use in this particular work was made of Congress at the very time when accusation and calumny, like poison gas, were being used to prejudice, to interfere and to defeat the purpose of the work. Yet at the time the storm broke and reached its greatest fury, sufficient facts had been quietly presented to the committees of Congress to justify the appropriation asked for and Congress made the appropriation without a single dissenting vote in either branch, thus giving the full initial amount requested for the purpose of paying the expenses of conducting the work. Further comment is unnecessary The admissions of the distinguished Attorney General speak for them solves. (Continued from First Page.) If we are to believe Col. Anderson when he said that there are thirty-two Negroes holding office in Virginia; we find that the Democrats are not so bad after all, are they?

THE RIOHMOND PLANET. RIOHMOND. VIRGINIA Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately three hundred individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the holders of Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vitally interested in retaining the confidence of the colored people of this community and the good opinion of the white and colored people of the United States, are waiting. They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God, let us re-open the Bank. ```markdown ``` PRESIDENT REFERS DEMAND FOR SUSPENSION OF DAUGH- ERTY TO THE A. G. The following reply has been receiv- ed by the Committee of 48 from the office of the Attorney General rela- tive to the Committee of 48's demand for the suspension of Attorney General Daugherty. "OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GEN- ERAL, WASHINGTON, D. C." Mr. J. A. H. Hopkins. Executive Chairman the Committee of 48, New York, City. My Dear Sir:—The President has referred to the Attorney General your letter addressed to him and for the Attorney General I beg to make acknowledgement and advise you that the matter therein contained will receive serious consideration Yours very truly, (Signed.) WARREN F. MARTIN Special Assistant to the Attorney General. Mr. J. A. H. Hopkins, Executive Chairman of the Committee of 48 has in view of this letter sent a further communication to the President reading as follows: October 25, 1922. October 25, 1922 "The Honorable Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, The White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President:—No reply has been received to our letter of October 6th requesting that Attorney-General Daugherty be suspended from office pending a hearing of the impeachment charges brought by Representative Keller of Minnesota. Much to my astonishment, however, I have received a letter from the Atto- ney General's office stating that our demand for Mr. Daugherty's suspension has been referred by you to Mr. daugherty. PATIENTLY WAITING. "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 of said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the defendants, 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." I respectfully submit that we are entitled to a reply not from the Attorney General but from you as the Executive Head of our Government. In calling your attention to the gross impropriety of referring a demand for Mr. Daugherty's suspension to Mr. Daugherty himself we simply wish to point out that the seriousness of the situation which led to this demand and the necessity for drastic action relative thereto has merely been enhanced by the action which you have taken. The Committee of 48 as an organization representing 48 states, has through its National Executive Committee petitioned you to take cognizance of this situation and they are entitled to know why a member of your Cabinet against whom impeachment proceedings have been brought is allowed to continue to function as Attorney General pending an investigation and determination of these charges. Respectfully yours, (Signed) J.A.H. HOPKINS Chairman Executive Com.
