Battle, 19-year-old colored youth, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Eleanor L. Brigham, at East Orange on December 27 last, was put to death in the electric chair at the State Prison on here tonight. Battle was bapped earlier in the day and walked calmly to his death, betraying little emotion. Before going into the execution chamber, Battle issued a statement, accusing John Brooks, of Orange, of the actual killing and said he was an eye-witness. Battle had made the same charges at the trial and at the insanity hearing later. Brooks was exonerated both times. Newark, N. J., Feb. 13—Williana E. Battle, convicted slayer of Mrs. Bigham at her home in Orange December 27 last, was declared sane by Judge Stickel, before whom Battle is convicted, in an opinion handed down last Friday. It is said that the crime was so soinheous that there was a question in the minds of many people to the rationality of Wm. Battle at the time of the murder. This led Judge Stickel to conduct a two-day investigation into the sanity of the man for the purpose of determining whether or not Battle was rational at the time of the murder.

Feb. 13.—Following the arrest of Roy Mitchell and his confession to eight murders, local police an national guardsmen are taking every precaution to guard the jail in which Mitchell has been placed. The authorities say that rumors of the formation of a mob have been reaching them almost constantly. According to the police, murders and attacks for which one man was shot to death by the victim's father and two other men are in the penitentiary have been cleared up by the alleged confession of Mitchell. They say he confessed to slaying Mr. and Mrs. Barker and Homer Turk for which two Negroes are now serving terms in prison. One of them Cooper Johnson is under death sentence. He is said to have admitted the murder of Harrell Bolton a year ago and the attack on his girl companion. This girl pointed out a man as her assailant shortly after the crime was committed. Her father shot this man to death and his body was burned by a mob. He admitted several other crimes. According to Prosecuting Attorney Farmer, it was in connection with the murder of W. E. Helt and Mrs. Ethel Denecamp that Mitchell and his brother-in-law were arrested. The skying of Skipworth had been blamed on another Negro. But it developed that the evidence was not strong enough to hold him despite the fact that Miss Naomi Boucher positively identified him as the man who shot her companion and threw his body over a caff and subjected her to rough treatment. The crowd applauded when the accused man was liberated. Mitchell is alleged to have confessed this crime.

Mr. Mitchell stated "that in selecting a manager the American Woodmen could not have selected a better manager for Virginia than Supervisor Grover C. Grant." Then he introduced the speaker, Hon. C. M. White Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen, Denver, Colorado. Mr. White spoke as follows: MR. WHITE'S ADDRESS. "Master of Ceremony, Rev Gaines, neighbors, I want to thank Hon. John Mitchell for his kind introduction. We further want to extend to Rev. King and members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church our thanks for the kind invitation. In representing the American Woodmen tonight, I can say that we tried eight times; seven times we failed, but the eighth time I believe we have made a concrete stand. I thought what a wonderful and blessed thing it is to that our people are learning the value of co-operation, confidence, belief and love. Do you know that in the last ten years the Negro has made more progress than ever because he has learned the value of co-operation, confidence, belief and love. NEGROES JOINING THE RACE "In the last ten years we have had a larger number of people to join the Negro race than ever before, and that is the object of my life to get the Negro to Join the colored race. We say we hate the segregation law and Jim-crowism, but the segregation law and Jim-crowism will never cease until we have learned to respect each other and respect ourselves. We have a law prohibiting lynching; we have a law prohibiting peonage, but in Mississippi there are one million Negroes held in slavery. We have the Eighteenth Amendment in the Constitution, that law which is maintained in the Eighteenth Amendment is the Constitution itself.

MEXICANS BAR OUT COLORED COLONISTS (Preston News Service) Mexico City, Mex., Feb. 16.—According to reports from the department of Interior here, American Negro colonists are not wanted in Mexico. It is said the department head has sent notices to all custom houses on the border ordering the strictest vigilance: An under-official is quoted as saying, we already have more trouble in Mexi co than is necessary and if American Negroes are permitted into this country our troubles will become unnecessarily increased. Prevent it now by not permitting them to enter." FAVOR THE DYER BILL (Preston News Service) Columbus, Ga., Feb. 13.—At a meeting of the South Georgia Women's Missionary society here last Tuesday resolutions were passed condemning mob violence and upholding the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. One speaker said: "It is a blight on the fair name of these United States that such a bill of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill should have been defeated in congress. The horrible atrocities committed against Negroes principally throughout this country and more especially in the southern states with our own state and Texas usually leading the list of such uncivilized and diabolical crimes, are making this country the laughing stock of the world. When I was in Europe last summer Europeans referred to lynching as an American past time. Some of them even were frank enough to ask about the wisdom of the United States attempting to act as guardian for conduct in Europe, when such things as lynching, mob violence and the ku klux klan were so prominent in this country. We cannot hope to have the superior civilization respected by other nations, unless we clean house at home. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was the first step toward curing one of our worst evils." BLACK-FACED ROBBER SHOT TO DEATH IN GUN BATTLE IS FOUND TO BE WHITE HIGH SCHOOL BOY Washington, D. C. Feb. 1—Considerable excitement was caused on the Howard University campus when a fire started in the frame cupola on top of Miner hall, a four story brick structure. The blaze was quickly discovered, and firemen who reached the scene following the first alarm sent in another as a matter of precaution to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings as well as save Miner hall if possible. The firemen soon had the blaze under control, preventing it from spreading to the lower floors of the building. It is said that the damage is estimated at $3,500 most of the damage being done by water. The origin of the fire has not been determined. The fire started about 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening. Officials of the institution were very uneasy as several on the students were suffering from a grip and colds and it was feared that they might be suffocated. The girls are easily assisted from the building. Miss Hazel Ainsworth, or Jackson, Texas, who was suffering with a severe cold is said to be able to resume her studies. Two young ladies, Miss Mamie Neale of New Jersey and Miss Isabelle Washington, of Colorado were said to be so sick that they had to be placed in the Alpha Kappa Sorority House. Lucien Blackwell, white assisting in rescuing the young ladies from the burning building, suffered a sprained back when he fell on the stairway leading to the third floor. He was treated in the Freedman's Hospital Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-transurer said "the actual damage done by the fire was slight. Most of the damage was caused by the water." He estimated the damages might exceed $4,000 --- MANY ATTEND A. M. E. BISHOPS COUNCIL AT COLUMBIA. (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh. Pa. Feb. 15.—Quite a large delegation of A. M. E., clergymen, laymen and their wives from Pittsburgh and adjacent cities lett Tuesday morning for Columbia, S. C., to attend the semi-annual Bishops' Council. The delegation secured a special car in order to overcome the disagreeableness of "Jim Crow" railroad proscriptions in the South. It is the purpose of the delegation to invite the council to hold its meeting in Pittsburgh in 1924. Rev. J. C.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS BBER SHOT TO ATTLE IS FOUND HIGH SCHOOL BOY (Crusader Service News.) (Krusher Service News.) Kansas City, Feb. 15—His face smear ed with charcoal and his body clothed in overalls and a jumper Ray C. Bishop, nineteen, white, student and member of the Central High School football squad, turned bandit last night robbed two gasoline filling stations or approximately $22 and was shot to death in a gun battle with a policeman after wounding the latter. Lawrence W. Ferguson, twenty-five chauffer at the Sheffield Police Station, wounded by the youth, is in the General Hospital with a bullet in his groin. He will recover. Through tear-dimmed eyes, the youth's gray-haired mother, Mrs. William H. Bishop, looked at the black smudged face of her son two hours afr er the tragedy. "I can't believe it is my boy," she said brokenly. "He was too good for that." The news came to Otto Dubach, Principal of Central High School, as a shock. His voice grew husky as he n-rated the virtues of young Bishop, whom he characterized as "a splendid type of young manhood, rugged, basal athletic, studious and loved by his companions." Yet on the desk of the Sergeant at the Sheffield Police Station lies a .32 calorie revolver taken from the lad's pocket, a jumper and a pair of overalls, the former stained with blood, which he wore when he fell—and $22 in hats. And in the General Hospital, Ferguson, bullet through his right groin and the red streak of another across his chest, testifies between groans Bishop fired first. LIKES "KLAN" EDITORIAL To the Editor of The Planet. Roanoke, Va.—Your editorial on the "Clansmen in Louisiana" in the December 30th issue is indeed a brilliant editorial. I wish every person in the United States could read it. It is right to the point in everything it says. Why was there such little opposition to the klan among the white people when rumors of its revival were first heard? Simply because they all thought it would be an organization for brow-beating and torturing Negroes only. Now that the bloody organization is maltreatting white people the newspapers, magazines, legislators and great men of the country are howling and bowling for its suppression. As your editorial truthfully says the Louisiana case has awakened the country. Because the victims were white men. Negroes of Louisiana have been lynched, roasted, driven from their homes and otherwise mistreated, all without creating even a ripple. Doubt less there are scores of their bodies right now in the lakes and rivers that traverse this benighted state. As much as the Negroes hate the klan they should be thankful to it for not drawing the color line in its flendish work. Yours truly. —JOHN FREEMAN. Roanoke, Va. In Memoriam In sad but loving remembrance of my husband, William Shepard Cox who died twenty-three years ago. February 15, 1900. He little thought when leaving home. That he would ne'er return; that he so soon in death should sleep. And leave us here to mourn. If he could raise his dying head, And bid the last farewell; The blow would not have been so hard To those he loved so well. His cheery ways was his smiling face Are pleasures to recall. He had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all. By his devoted wife. —MARY COX. 1816 Cedar Street. PHILADELPHIAN GETS 2 YEARS FOR EMBEZZELMENT. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 8.—Joseph A.

FRENCH BOXING COMM BATTLING SIKI LIC REFUSES TO RESTO According to Associated Press reports the French Boxing Federation on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary last Monday in Paris decided in favor of amnesty for all recent offenders. The decision as regards Battling Siki annuels his suspension and allows him to apply for a new boxing license, which will be granted, but does not restore to him his championship title. WILL FIGHT M'TIGUE Battling Siki is signed to meet Mike McTigue on St. Patricks Day in Dublin, Ireland. McTigue is an American fighter and holds the Canadian middleweight title and if the Senegalese can flip him he will again be in possession of a title, though he was robbed of two. BEAT FRENCH IDOL Siki came into prominence in the early fall of 1922, when he knocked Georges Carpentier cold, in one of the most sensual fights of the year. Carpentier was the idol of France and light heavyweight champion of the world, in addition to being the heavyweight champion of Europe. These titles became the property of Battling Siki and immediately the white world began a campaign of vituperation against the battler from Africa. BARRED OUT OF RING. Reports of all kinds of escapades began to fill the sporting pages and finally Siki was brought before the French Boxing Commission and his titles forfeited and license taken away, the charge apparent being that he struck a boxing manager at the ringside of a fight he was witnessing. The British Boxing Commission followed suite and banned Siki from the English arena. MAY REGAIN TITLES The news of his reinstatement is welcomed, though many think his titles should be restored, and he be allowed to defend them. However, if he is allowed to fight it is only a question of time before he will have a few more titles tucked safely beneath his belt. Panama Joe Gans Loses to Italian Joe Gans. NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Panama Joe Gans lost to Italian Joe Gans at the Pioneer A. C. here this week. The ItaFan won on points although Panama gave a good account of himself. The decision was a close one. The colored boy must give up the use of the name Joe Gans, as this was the agreement. Italian Joe Gans is now the bearer of the name of the "Old Master," who was the greatest lightweight champion of them all. Basket Ball Results Morehouse Trims Clark University Cagers. (E. L.

EDITOR. - JOHN MITCHELL, JR DUBOIS ON GARVEY. In selecting the influential columns of the Century Magazine, Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois entrenched himself behind a literary bulwark, which his adversary could not dangerously assail. In fact, he knew or must have believed that the editors of this publication would not entertain a reply to the damaging criticism of this distinguished black leader from the island of Jamaica. The Negro World may train its long range guns upon the tormentor of its chieftain, but so far as the clientile of the widely circulated magazine is concerned they will never hear even the echo. On the other hand, the Hon. Marcus Garvey is more directly interested in his own following and his prospective followers. His journalistic mouthpiece, reaches those, in whom he is most vitally interested and "what he loses at the bung, he will save at the spicket." He is unsparing in his denunciation of the able literary genius, who is using the best efforts of his useful life in attempting to destroy, what he regards as a dangerous menace to his people. He analyzes Garvey and his methods in the following language: On the other hand, Garvey had no thorough education and a very hazy idea of the technic of civilization. He fell easily into the common error of assuming that because oppression has retarded a group, the mere removal of the injustice will at a bound restore the group to full power. Then, too, he personally bad his drawbacks: he was inordinately vain and egotic; jealous of his power, impatient of details a poor judge of human nature, and he had the common weakness of untrained devotees that no dependence could be put upon his statements of fact. Not that he was a conscious blar, but dream, fact fancy, wish, were all so blurred in his thinking that neither be himself nor his hearers could clearly or easily extricate them. Then came the new economic demand for Negro peasant labor on the Panama Canal, and finally the Great War. Black West-Indians began to make something like decent wages, they began to travel, and they began to talk and think. Garvey talked and thought with them. In conjunction with white and coated sympathizers he planned a small Jamaican Tuskegee. This failed, and he conceived the idea of a purely Negro organization to establish independent Negro states and link them with commerce and industry. His "Universal Negro Improvement Association," launched August 1, 1914, in Jamaica, was soon in financial difficulties. The war was beginning to change the world, and as white American laborers began to be drawn into war work there was an opening in many lines not only for Southern American Negroes as laborers and mechanics, but also for West-Indians as servants and laborers. They began to migrate in larger numbers. With this new migration came Marcus Garvey. A most amusing and interesting question is presented in this analysis. It is this. Can a man be an unconscious liar? If he makes a statement that is incorrect or misleading, and he is not aware that it is incorrect or misleading, is he a liar? We are of the opinion that ethics will hardly sustain the distinguished writer in his affirmation. "not that he was a conscious liar." If he were not a conscious liar that is did not know that he was lying then ethics would acquit him of being any liar at all. Even the truth told in a way to deceive is said to be a lie under certain conditions. Speaking of this phase of the situation, Editor William H. Ferris in the February 10th issue of the Negro World says: Mistake No. 3. on page 541 or the Century Magazine, Dr. Du Bois says. Then came the new economic demand for Negro peasant labor on the Panama Canal." Answer: But Colonel Goetbaus in his book, "How I Built the Panama Canal," states that many West Indians were employed as engineers and mechanics, and many Italians as laborers. Mistake No. 4. Dr. Du Bois, on page 541 of the Century Magazine says that "West Indians began to migrate to large numbers to America during the World War." Answer: In reality West Indians began to migrate to America in 1895 when the Brussels conference barred and boycotted West "Indians and imported sugar and when the German beet sugar began to thrive. See article on Brussels in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It would be advisable for the learned scholar to also read Crabbe's "Guide to the British West Indies." In our own analysis we shall be abs: lutely fair and we take this method of producing such refutations as may be available with reference to one of the most damaging philips ever issued against a Negro leader during our day and time. Dr. Du Bous says further: He established a little group of his own Jamaica countrymen in Harlem and launched his program. He took no account of the American Negro problem; he knew nothing about it. What he was trying to do was to settle the Jamaican problem in the United States. On the other hand, American Negroes knew nothing about the Jamaican problem, and they were excited and indignant at being brought face to face with a man who was full of wild talk about Africa and the West Indies and steamship lines and "race pride," but who said nothing and apparently knew nothing about the right to vote the horrors of lynching and mob law, and the problem of racial equality. Moreover, they were especially incensed at the new West-Indian conception of the color-line. Color-lines had naturally often appeared in colored America, but the development hailed early taken a far different direction from that in the West Indies. Migration by whites had numerically overwhelmed both masters and mulattoes and compelled most American masters to sell their own children into slavery. Freedom, therefore, rather than color became the first line of social distinction in the American Negro world despite the near-white aristocracies or cities like Charleston and New Orleans and despite the fact that the proportion of mulattoes who were free and who gained some wealth and education was greater than that of blacks because of the favor of their white parents. Dr. DuBois overlooks the fact and fails to state that his type of colored people do not in the main affiliate with the type of people that Hon. Marcus Garvey represents. It is a fact that while the highly educated class of Negroes, one hundred per cent Americans were excited and indignant over Garvey's wild talk thousands of others in the southern States noticeably so in Texas regarded him as preaching a "new religion" and they immediately became converted. Thousands had previously sold their homesteads to raise money to go back to the Fatherland, where they had been taught to believe equal and exact justice was to be enjoyed and where every owner of a homestead could "live under his own vine and fig-tree with none to molest him or make him afraid." Garvey's plan seems to have been to furnish the leadership primarily from this country and with the African Republic citizenship to be in existence in Africa and America. The discussion continues. He says: After emancipation, color caste mered to arise again, but the darker group was quickly welded into one despite color by caste legislation, which applied to a white man with one Negro great-grandfather as well as to a full-blooded Bantu. There were still obvious advantages to the Negro American of lighter hue in passing foo white or posing as Spanish or Portuguese, but the pressing demand for ability and efficiency and honesty with in this fighting, advancing group continually drove the color-line back before reason and necessity, and it came to be generally regarded as the poorest possible taste for a Negro even to refer to differences of color. Colored folk as white as the whitest came to describe themselves as Negroes. Imagine then the surprise and disgust of these Americans when Garvey launched his Jamaican color scheme. He did this, of course, ignorantly and with no idea of his mistake and no wit to read the signs. He meant well. He saw what seemed to him the same color-lines which he hated in Jamaica, and he sought here as there to oppose white supremacy and the white ideal by a crude and equally ornate black supremacy and black ideal. His mistake did not lie in the utter impossibility of this program. greater upheavals in ideal have shaken the world before,—but rather in its spiritual bankruptcy and futility; for what shall this poor world gain if it exchange one race supremacy for another? Garvey soon sensed that somewhere he was making a mistake, and he began to protest that he was not excusing mulattoes from his organization. Indeed, he has men of all colors and bloods in his organization, but his propaganda still remains "all black." because this brings cash from the Jamaica peanuts. Once he was actually haled to court and made to apoioize for calling a disgruntled former colleague "white!" His tirades and twistings have landed him in strange contradictions. Thus with one vote he denounced Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass as bastards and with the next named his boarding house and first steamship after these same men! The above is written in a charitable vein and shows that 'away down in his heart of hearts." Dr. Du Bois has some respect if not sympathy for the man, who at one time he declared to be honest and that his plans were feasible. He complained that he was going the wrong way in executing them. He says further: Aside from his color-lines, Garvey soon developed in /America a definite one in many respects original and elaborate program. He proposed to establish the "Black Star Line" of steamship under Negro ownership and with Negro money, to trade between the United States the West Indies, and Africa. He proposed to establish a factories corporation which was going to build factories and manufacture goods for local consumption of Negroes and for export. He was going eventually to take possession of Africa and establish independent Negro governments there. The statement of this program, with THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA tremendous head-lines, wild eloquence and great insistence and repetition caught the attention of all America, white and black. When Mr. Garvey brought his cohorts to Madison Square Garden, clad in fancy costumes and with new songs and ceremonies, and when, ducking his dark-head at the audience, he yelled, "We are going to Africa, to tell England, France, and Belgium to get out of there." America sat up, listened laughed, and said here at least is something new. This was indeed a popular idea, but the execution of it was a difficult task. Mr. Garvey was a British subject. This language might be regarded as treasonable. But he held to the doctrine of in all matters, the Negro race first. And again: Negroes especially West Indians, flocked to his movement and poured money into it. About three years ago he had some 80,000 members in his organization, and perhaps 20,000 or 30,000 were paying regularly thirty-five cents a month into his chest. These numbers grew in his imagination until he was claiming 4,500,000 followers and speaking for "Four hundred million Negroes!" He did no, however, stop with dreams and promises. If he had been simply a calculating scoundrel, he would carefully have skirted the narrow line between promise and performance and avoided as long as possible the inevitable catacrophe. But he believed in his program and he had a childish ignorance of the stern facts of the world into whose face he was flying. Being an islander, and born in a little realm where hale a day's journey takes one from ocean to ocean, the world always seemed small to him, and it was perhaps excusable for this black peasant of Jamaica to think of Africa as a similar, but slightly larger, island which could easily be taken possession of. Dr. Ferris, in his admirable reply to Dr. Du Bois declared that Hon. Marcus Garvey had never been a peasant: He says further: His first practical step toward this was to establish the Bliek Star Line, and here he literally left his critics and opponents breathless by suddenly announcing in 1919 that the Frederick Douglass, a steamship, had been bought by his lint, was on exhibition at a wharf in New York and was about to sail to the West Indies with freight and passengers. The announcement was electrical even for those who did not believe in Garvey. With a solendid, audacious faith this poor black leader, with his storming tongue, compelled a word of admiration from all. But the seeds of failure were in his very first efforts. This first boat, the Yarmouth (never renamed the Frederick Douglass probably because of financial difficulties) was built in the year Garvey was born, and was an old sea-scarred hulk. He was cheated in buying it, and paid $140 000 for it—at least twice as much as the boat was worth. She made three trips to the West Indies in three years and then was docked for repairs, attached for debt, and finally, in December 1921, sold at auction for $1625! The second boat that Garvey bought was a steam yacht originally built for a Standard Oil magnate, It, too, was old and of doubtful value, but Garvey paid $60,000 for it, and sent it down to do a small carrying trade between the West Indies Islands. The boat broke down and it cost $70,000 or $80,000 more to repair it than Garvey paid for it. Finally it was wrecked or seized in Cuba and the crew was transported to the United States at government expense. The third boat was a Hudson River ferry-boat that Garvey bought for $25,000. With this he carried excursionists up and down the Hudson during one summer and used it as a vivid advertisement to collect more money 'the boat, however, ran only that summer, and then had to be abandoned as beyond repair. Finally, Garvey tried to buy of the United States Shipping Board the steamship Orion for $250 000. This boat was to be renamed the Phyllis Wheatley and its sailings were advertised in Garvey's weekly paper for several months, and some passages were sold; but the boat never was delivered because sufficient payments were not made. With all of this vitriolic criticism who can refrain from admiring the nerve and audacity of this able black leader. It reminds us of the Saviour's comment in reference to the woman "She hath done what she could." It seems that in this case, Garvey had done what he could. His own people must pay for his mistakes. He blazed the way for some other leader to follow even though he should not be able to reach the goal himself. Even Dr. Du Bois admits that both white and black people were filled with admiration over his venture. Dr. Du Bois continues: Thus the Black Star Line arose and disappeared, and with it went some $800 000 c of the savings of West-Indians and a few American Negroes. With this enterprise the initial step and greatest test of Mr. Garvey's movement failed utterly. His factories corporation never really got started. In its place he has established a number of local grocery stores in Harlem and one or two shops, including a laundry and a printing press which may c may not survive. His African program was made im- posible by his own pligheadness. He proposed to make a stirr in Liber- ia with industrial enterprises. From this center he would penetrate all Africa and gradually subdue it. Instead of keeping this plan hidden and working cautiously and intelligently toward it he yelled and shouted and telegraphed it all over the world. Without consulting the Liberians, he apparently was ready to assume par- tial charge of their state. He appointed officials with high-sounding titles and announced that the headquarters of his organization was to he removed to Liberia in January, 1922. Such and nouncements, together with his talks about conquest and "driving Europe out," croused European governments to inquire about Garvey and his backing. Diplomatic representations were made to Liberia, asking it how far it intended to cooperate in this program. Liberia was naturally compelled to repudiate Garveyism, root and branch. The officials told Garvey that he or any one else was welcome to migrate to Liberia and develop industry within legal lines, but that they could recognize only one authority in Liberia and that was the authority of the Liberian Government, and that Liberia could not be the seat of any intrigue against her peaceful neighbors. They made it impossible for Garvey to establish any headquarters in Africa unless it was done by the consent of the very nations who he was threatening to drive out of Africa! This ended his African program and reduced him to the curious alternative of sending a delegate to the third assembly of the League of Nations to ask them to hand over as a gift to his organization a German colony in order that he might begin his work. Dr. Du Bois tells of failure and yet the history of the American continent and similar ventures were failures at first. Others took up the struggle and a stable government was established. Above all of this, we note the mistakes, but it should not be forgotten that Dr. Du Bois is on record with the statement that with the proper management and with discreet generalship Marcus Garvey's plans are feasible. But enough for this week We shall deal further with this most interesting subject in our next issue. "GARVEYISM." The caustic denunciation of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and Garveyism as voiced by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois and his coterie of followers seems to be bearing fruit, if we are to judge by the editorial utterances of that ably edited paper, The Philadelphia Pa. Ledger, which newspaper has always taken a friendly interest in the colored people and all that relates to their welfare. Under the caption of "Garveyism," in its issue of the 5th inst., it reaches the following conclusion: Garveyism is the counterpart among the Negro populations of America, what the Ku Klux Klan is among the white people. It is in its essence an appeal to prejudice and passion an if unchecked will near fruit in the horrors of racial conflict. The formal protest, therefore, addressed to the Attorney General by a representative group of the leading educators, business men and publicists of the Negro race will be read everywhere with approval and sympathy by order-loving and humane people of whatever color. It may be that the final conclusion of our able contemporary is correct, but to compare the Garvey movement to that of the Ku Klux Klan is an absurdity. The Ku Klux Klan believes in white supremacy or professes so to believe. The Garveyites do not believe in black supremacy. They advocate the leaving to the white man his own lands so to speak and advocate the transplanting of the black people of the world to their own land, which they specify as being Africa. The Ku Klux Klan believes in concealment of membership. The Garveyites willingly display their membership and in all of their parades wear covering on every part of the body, but their faces, which faces, the Ku Klux Klan organization conceals. The Ku Klux Klan believes in regulating the conduct of others not members of the organization. The Garveyites have no such tenets in any part of their ceremony. The Ku Klux Klan believes in night riding, in whipping men an women and in torturing other classes of people. They believe in a super-government and they take the law into their own hands. During the entire career of this remarkable black leader, Marcus Garvey but one case of assassination has taken place and he and his followers had disavowed responsibility for the action of the notorious characters that committed it. It may be well to remark too that the victim was a Negro and not a white man. Just how this act would arouse the passions of the whites is a mystery. To speak plainly, Marcus Garvey has apparently pandered to the Negro hating elements of the South-land by advocating the removal of the Negroes from this country. He is accordingly safe from injury at their hands. The lynchers, the hoood lum classes of the Southland regard him as a Negro Moses, who would remove from competition with them this working, industrious Negro, who has been the ever potent force in setting the industrial problems of the South-land. Disagree with the Horc Marcus Garvey as much as you please, but do not be unjust to the extent of comparing him and his organization with one of the scourges of this Western world to-day, which scourge is equal in severity to pestilence and famine. The Public Ledger says: The significance of this protest lies in its origin and in its manifestation of a growing realization among intelligent and educated Negroes that their liberation from injustice and oppression can only be brought about by a more perfect understanding between the white and colored races and by a co-operation in which the latter must take an equal part. We agree with and emphasize the conclusion reached. It continues: Great as are the evils growing out of the spirit inculcated by Garvey and his "Universal Negro Improvement Association" a spirit of hatred, distrust, violence and revenge, and important as it is to protect the ignorant and guilty from robbery and cruel exploitation, the graver injury that is being done by the Garveyites is the false impression their activities create in the minds of the white people as to the real aims and purposes of those Negroes who are striving earnestly and sanely for the advancement of their race, the elimination of prejudice and unfair discrimination in industry and in civil life. This may be true. It concludes as follows: While the Negro needs to be protected from the enemies to progress in his own race the community at large in a greater degree needs to be safe guarded against an evil propaganda sowing the seeds of bitter antagonism and strife. This is why the letter to the Department of Justice should receive thoughtful consideration and preventive action in the interests of order and racial harmony. If the Department of Justice at Washington cannot stop the Ku Klux Klan, an organization which is undermining the foundations of this Government, by what scheme of reasoning can it stop the propaganda of Marcus Garvey and his followers? The Congress has an opportunity to pass and enforce the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Let it do it. Collier's Weekly now advocates Federal legislation upon this subject. As for the Garvey movement, those of us, who are convinced that argument will do no good so far as the Garveyites are concerned, should repeat the words of the Scriptures with a slight modification "Let Garvey alone; he is joined to his idols." This effort to play foster father to these many revolutionary organizations should be met with reason and argument without invoking the drastic operation of the law, when the Constitution of the United States is against such action. We are drifting slowly but surely to that imperialistic autocratic state, which has practically wrecked Europe. In summing this case up, we would advise our contempt orary that there are two classes of colored people in this country. One class, not represented by the Garvey movement is loyal to the United States Government and the white and the colored folks composing the same. They do not regard exclusive race appeals, but accept the fact that they have been thrown into the "melting pot" of this Republic and are entitled to every right and privilege that any other citizen enjoys, be he black or white, gray or grizzled. Dr. Du Bois in his remarkable production in the Century Magazine, claims that very few of this class of citizens of color are embraced in the Garvey movement. If this is a fact, then we see no reason for this undue agitation over the remarkable leader from the West Indies. To charge that he is a nonentity and has few followers of native birth and then to level all of the machinery of the national government upon him and his organization is to believe the statement and to say that the organization controlled by him is making rapid headway in this country of ours. Personally speaking, from what we have heard from the Hon. Marcus Garvey's own lips in an address delivered in this neighborhood, he is not stirring up race feeling among the white folks against the Negroes, he is stirring up bitter feeling between one wing of the black folks and the other. One set believes in allegiance and eternal residence in this country, their homeland, the other believes in setting up a Republic in Africa, where they will exercise all of the power and authority over their own people that the white folks exercise over all races in this country. We believe in meeting Garvey's propaganda with the propaganda of reason and argument. When it comes to the use of force in a Republic that proclaims its doctrine of free speech and that government should exist with the consent of the Governed, we radically disagree. We repeat,—any one, who would stir up hatred and ill feeling between the black and the white races is the enemy of both. Down here, colored folks are making friends with the white folks and white folks with the colored folks. Life is too short for us to pursue any other course. One thing more: we saw on last Sunday afternoon, an humble colored woman nearly ninety years of age interred in Woodland Cemetery in this City. A white funeral director handled her remains and white pall-bearers carried her remains to their last resting place. No propaganda of any one can break this bond of union in the Southland. But, as to the North, that is another question. We are speaking for the section in which we reside. The following extract from Acts. Chapter V. explains itself 24.

For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be some body; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 37.

Dr. Du Bois' plan of meeting propaganda with propaganda, Garveyism with Garveyism is all right and justifiable, but for the United States Government to interfere until it is plainly apparent that the Garvey movement is a treasonable one and in plain violation of the statutes would be to make a martyr of him and to give his cause a recognition and support to which his enemies declare it is not entitled.

The Turks have ordered the Allies to leave the harbor of Smyrna and the reports sent all over the world intimated that the Turkish officials would open fire on these war-ships if they did not leave.

They have now arranged matters so that none of the British and French war vessels can leave the harbor without a Turkish pilot. To do so would invite the blowing up and resultant destruction of the war-ships. Get The Planet at your door every week for a year.

A Domingo, former editor of the Emau cipation was asked to give a statement of the article entitled “Back to Africa’ by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, in the Century Magazine for February. Mr. Domingo said: “The article is very ably and clever. jy written but shows a great ignorancy of many elementary facts. Dr. Du Bois is at his best when he philoso phizes on the causes that made for Garvey's rise but is hopelessly at sea in many of his conclusions. “Illustrative of the factual mistakes of Dr. Du Bois, for whom I have the highest regard intellectually he stat es that Garvey roofed over his disma: dungeon, Liberty Hall.

This was inevitable; buc Yortunately I anticipated this and 1. the interest of truth will make tne facts available to those who are inter ested in accuracy. Garveyism never gained any kind ot ‘a foothold in the islands. Such West Indians who have embraced this ogre gious folly are those who are living abroad or have lived abroad and these ‘gained racial consciousness, The best proof of this is the fact that Garvey failed to make good in Jamaica en: was laughed at by the “peasants” as 0 buge joke.

This resulted in Ne groes everywhere flocking to the red black and green started. | “Before that, his chartering of the Yarmouth had, as Du Bois says, an ‘electrical’ effect upon even his oppor vents.

SLIGHT NORTHERN SHIFT OF COLORED LABOR. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Feb. 8.—Accord ing to a statement recently issued by the U. S. Department of Labor as 4 result of an investigation made by Hon. Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation in that department, the movement of Negro unskilled labor from the South to nortirern industrial centers is considered rather remark. able for winter months.

We are not only trying to get you to join the American Woodmen, but to join the Negro race. We pay $300,000 yearly for claims. Any organization pays their death benefits, that doesn't pay; but helps the thing counts is to pay you while you live. We pay the black boy and girl $26,000 each month and have $1,000,000,000 to protect your policy. The question with our institution and other institutions is what are you doing with this $1,000,000.00? We lend it to the black man to protect his home, to educate his girls and boys, to give them inspiration. The girls and boys in Cleveland Ohio asked why the girls and boys in Virginia stay in school so long, why do they stay longer? Well for this res on, the girls and boys of Cleveland see the girls and boys stop school to be janitors, wash spittoons and do all kinds of laboring work, and they stop school and do that too and it doesn't take several years training to do that, but the boy and girl of Virginia go to school and get an education and training and go to Cleveland and hold the positions. Cooperation among our group will kill segregation laws and Jim-Crewism. Let us cooperate together and build theatres for our boys and girls, build parks for our boys and girls and schools for our boys and girls. The American Woodmen have been able to come to the rescue of our people. Dr. Jenkins of Columbia, S. C., had almost lost his property and the banks in Columbia went into union and said that they would not let him have any money, the American Woodmen sent Mr. Lightner to Columbia, S. C., and At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the City-Wide School Improvement League, held Friday night February 9th, at the office of the Southern Aid Society, reports were given of the progress on colored school buildings, improvements of grounds and streets adjacent to some of the schools; also from delegates to sessions of Negro Organization Society, Annual Teachers Association meeting and conference on Education held at Hartshorn Memorial College. The officers of the League were authorized to perfect plans and program for dedicatory exercises of New Armstrong High School Building, permission having been given by School Board. The officers will cooperate with the principal of this school in regard to these exercises. The officers were directed to bring to the attention of the School Board the need of additional space for the hundreds of children who attend Arm strong School. Also the moral and sanitary conditions obtaining in rear of New Building. City-Wide School Improvement League W. A. JORDAN, Chairman Com. Publicity, W. H. Stokes, Ph. D., President loaned Dr. Jenkins $20,000 to redeem his property; we don't want the money we just want the interest. We have helped our people in St. Petersburg, Florida, Miami Florida, Memphis Tennessee; and Montgomery Alabama "The Negro has caused the white man to withdraw his support from the Negro schools by building nice homes buying nice cars and organizing institutions of their own. The banking business is not the largest business in the world nor the railroad, but the Metropolitan Insurance is the largest business in the world. The Metropolitan Insurance takes in seven billion dollars and $115,000.00 each month. $1150 pledged by the colored people to pay the white boy and girl $22.00 p week to $1.00 for the colored boy and girl. If all the Negro would put their money in the colored banks, the banks would never fail. "In Savannah, Ga., a few years ago the white people burned a Negro boy for a crime he was too young to commit. The American Woodmen was holding a meeting there. That evening they closed and called a meeting of all the colored people in Savannah; they met and decided that every Negro would draw his money out of the white banks and put it in. the colored banks and don't you know, my people, that it caused three white banks to close and white men and women to lose their positions and gave colored men and women positions. "If we would cooperate my friends, as we should, we would control the destiny here in America." Mr. Mitchell stated that he placed $100,000.00 to back the Mechanics Savings Bank and two pieces of his property were sold on Broad Street for $60.000.00. Then motion by Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., seconded by Neigh. H. T. Cunningham that a vote of thanks be extended to Hon. C. M. White. Dr. C. C. Hudson a representative of the City Health Department and Tuberculosis Association said the thing we value most in life is good health and by the cooperation of the colored people we have been able to reduce the deaths in Richmond to one third what it used to be. Then we heard some most interesting remarks from Mrs. A. R. Gayles of the State Health Department. Moved and second that we pledge our cooperation to the Tuberculosis Association. Benediction by Rev. Gaines. THE DOINGS OF THE Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. knows no other Foundation save that of Jesus Christ. The hour for the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson 5 P. M. last Saturday at the Y. M.
