THE RICHMOND PLANET This may be our last battle. MAY 17,1923 VOL. XL. NO. 27 DR. CHAS. STEWART PREACHES HERE. TWO GREAT LECTURES IN FIFTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH. "To whom shall we go?" John 6:68 was the text from which Charles Stewart, A. M. D. D., general missionary of the National Baptist convention discussed "Jesus the Friend Who Never Fails" at Fifth Street Baptist church, last Sunday morning before a congregation which filled the church. The sermon was practical, logical and thoughtful and brought forth many amens and other expressions of approval. Dr. Stewart is a pleasing speaker and always brings to the people a thought. He is one of the best poste men in the country on racial conditions and for two days he was heard at Fifth Street Baptist church by many of the people of Richmond, who extended him an invitation to return. He has been connected with the Virginia convention for a number of years and is a life member of that body. During the last session, he was invited by Dr. T. J. King, the president of the convention and pastor of Fifth Street Baptist church to spend last Sunday and Monday in Richmond. Sunday afternoon a special talk was delivered to men only, from the theme "Whereinthel' You goin? Damfino!" This was a health talk as well as a business talk to the men of Richmond. He declared that the theme came from the common everyday street vacancy from friend to friend "Whereinthel' you goin?" Then the answer, "Damfino." "There is something more for the church to do, than preach men into it, preparing them for the kingdom. You must teach them how to live down here," declared Dr. Stewart, "and fail ure to do this is failure to do the real work of the church. Men are going to hell or some other hot clime, because they have no where else to go. Thousands of men gag around the streets of Richmond today after they are throng of the social man and when the with their work, seeking the satisfy-fellow don't know where he is going then comes an invitation to go to the pool room, the gambling hell, the dens of shame and disgrace, which usually ends with a wrecked manhood or the destruction of a physical body. Give men the proper social recreation and entertainment and you will close the brethren, the gambling dens and other places of shame and disgrace. "Manhood in many of our youth is wrecked before he reaches 14, because of the neglect of the boy. Boys are left to grow up like weeds without a knowledge of himself. He is perfectly ignorant about his mission in the world. He is told about heaven and hell but nothing about his physical body nothing about the life he is destroying down here until it is too late. We often are forced to hang our heads in shame right here in Richmond, when you see some old grand-mother with one foot in the grave and the oth er should be there, got some little boy chasing her. Look how few boys here today who have reached the age of 15 staying at home. They are star roomers. Call a halt. "The Negro man is not considered a child any more. He is not asked about his parents or what they could do but the world looks you right in the face and asks: "Who in the benefactors are you?" If you cannot measure up to the standard of a man then you must stand aside. Don't get in a man's way. Your manhood must be measured by a healthy body, by a healthy mind and by a healthy soul. You cannot have these with the inordinate waste of strength and vitality. Seek the higher life. "Save your own bodies, and you will help others. Have pride and keep it before you that you can be something right here in the south. We are not asking alms from the white man or any other man, but since he executes, since he makes the laws of our land and construes them, we want only justice and fair play before the law, protection of life and property, and we will make our way or tell God the reason why. Do not deprive us of that weapon placed in hands of Americans with which to protect life and property the ballot. Give me the free use of it and I have no favors to ask." Dr. Stewart in closing his address to men, made a plea for the protection of home, for a higher manhood and womanhood and referred to John Mitchell the man whose life had been spent for his race. He said that the fall of any representative Negro carried others with him and he said that too often race prejudice figured in the conviction of a Negro. "John Mitchell is asking for justice and that only. (Continued on Page Eight.) VIRGINIA CASE IS STILL PENDING.

(Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., May 18—Henry Mitchell aged 37 years had an argument with his wife Tuesday evening, and to frighten her rubbed acid on his lips, then told her he had swallowed poison with the intent of committing suicide. Mrs. Mitchell immediately summoned the Frankstown avenue police station and had her husband rushed to the Pittsburgh Hospital, where the stomach pump revealed that the only "poison" he had swallowed was an extra large amount of moon shine. Mitchell's lips were slightly burned by the acid, according to testimony by hospital physicians who attended him, before Magistrate Smith. The doctors also stated that Mitchell was very much intoxicated and had been kept at the hospital for a day and a night for observation. When he was released from the hospital the police placed him under arrest charged with disorderly conduct. Mitchell was fined $25 with the option of spending 30 days in jail following the hearing before Magistrate Smith. He went to jail. Card of Thanks. The Committee on Installation Exercises of Rev. R.

EUROPEAN VISITOR LAUDS THE PROGRESS OF AMERICAN NEGRO (Preston News Service) Atlanta, Ga., May 17.—That the Negro of America is in every way a hundred years ahead of the natives of South Africa is the Statement made by Dr. James Henderson, noted English Educator from South Africa, who is stranding a few months in this country studying race relations and Negro education. This is due, he thinks to the fact the American Negro came much earlier into contact with white civilization and has had a far greater opportunity for education and self-development. "I am particularly impressed, he said, with the progress which Negroes have made in America since their emancipation from slavery It is far beyond anything I had expected. The Negroes of America are to be highly commended for their spirit of advancement insite of the many obvious handicaps." Dr. Henderson has given practically all his life to the education of the natives of British South Africa having been for many years principal of the Lovedale Institute, the African Tuskegee a missionary institution with a faculty of 60 and a student body of 900. While in Atlanta he visited all of the Negro colleges and schools, commenting most favorably on their fine equipment, competent and devoted teachers and intelligent students. A number of well-trained American Negroes, he said, are rendering fine service in Africa as teachers and social workers. He believes that the number of such workers will increase and that in this way the educated American Negro is destined to make a great contribution to Africa's development. The good will work of the inter-racial commission of which he heard in Africa where its methods are beginning to be adopted, interest Dr. Hen de Jonction immensely. The problems of race relations, he said, are much more difficult there than here and much further from solution. However, they are a long way from solution in America, but you Americans have done more along that line than we have. We are just starting. URBAN LEAGUE CAMPAIN COM MITTEE MAKING PROGRESS.

May 24—Every effort that is humanly possible is being put forth throughout the south to compete with the increasing farm labor shortage caused by the migration of Negro farm laborers to northern industrial trial centers. According to a statement issued by Dr. E. R. Lloyd, planters are putting into use modern farming machinery to offset the loss of man power. According to reports from farm improvement dealers in various sections of the south, records have been broken by the installation of modern farming implements for the cultivation of the crops. A prominent manufacturer of farm machinery of Springfield Ohio said that the exodus of Negro laborers in the south will certainly prove an owe-offer to farm machinery manufacturers as it will cause the southern planters to abandon their general anti-coated methods of farming. The planters of the south have been far behind other sections of the country in metals of farming. The old mule and single shovel plow, abandoned in northern and western sections over half a century ago, are still common over the south. Modern reapers, gang plows, check-row planters and sulky cultivators are rarely found among the farm machinery of a southern planter. These modern implements are now coming into wider use and in many sections they have advanced to the Fordson tractors. The migration of the Negro is a god-send to manufacturers and an education to the southern planter. Dr. Lloyd commenting on the situation jon says, "There has been a greater sale of modern farm implements this spring than ever in the south. This indicates that planters are determined to combat labor shortage by purchasing and placing into immediate use all the best and most modern cultivars and other farm machinery they can buy. The planters failed to buy last year after making good crops and were face to face this spring with conditions almost entirely new to them, that being a serious shortage of labor, the class of labor the south has depended upon since it has been a country. "I am not very much alarmed at these reports of labor shortage. Of course, it is bad in certain localities, but in many places the reports indicate there is no labor shortage. I am glad to see the southern planters disbanding the old 'before the war' methods of farming." NEGRO EXODUS IS AN AWAKENING: Dr. Lloyd also sees great blessing brought about by migration of Negro labor. He says: "We see improved conditions in other classes of business. We find them in our modern lives of every day living. The farmer, big and little, must get away from the old time mettods of growing a crop. He must advance with the age. His time of living in the past is over unless he wishes to follow a blind mule and rickety off one-horse plow up a half-broken furrow through the field. "Improved farm machinery is more essential today than ever. The exodus of Negro labor is proving this to be a fact. We must go to our farming on modern methods if we want to keep pace with our youngsters who are coming back from the north to the old homestead with ideas update, and with the youngsters from the north who are marrying our fair daughters of the south." FUNERAL DIRECTOR SCOTTS ESTABLISHMENT. Mr. Robert C. Scott, the popular funeral director has renovated and improved his establishment since the fire which took place there some time ago.

Protecting Water Supplies in Mountain Districts Presents Difficulties Not Found in Tidewater. Richmond. May 15.—In Carroll, Gray son Ronnoke Pulaski and Smyth county, the rural sanitation bureau of the State Board of Health is cooperating with local health authorities in putting over a campaign for the protection of the springs, from which the people get their drinking water. Safe guarding these supplies is a far more difficult problem than is the protection of wells in the eastern, or tide water, section of Virginia. In the flat country the vast majority of rural homes get water from wells, either deep or shallow; and where there are springs, it is rare that more than one family gets its supply from the same source. To the contrary, in the mountain sections one spring may supply a neighborhood. Consequently the protection of that spring becomes a matter of greater moment. Furthermore, in the flat section most of the springs furnish naturally pure water. They are not apt to be affaced by underground contamination and the chief means employed to make them safe is to cover them in such a way that surface pollution is impossible. It is different in the mountains. There surface radiation gets into the broken limestone strata and without the purification that comes through soil seepage it gets into the streams that supply the springs. So the mountain problem has to include the double protection. The springs must be protected at their outlets and their sources. The former is comparatively easy; the latter is more difficult and sometimes more costly. Where the strata is broken as in limestone districts, the protection of the sources frequently includes the removal of neighboring privies to a distance from the limestone ledge. The five counties in the present program are not letting these obstacles stand in the way of success. Reports indicate that virtually every spring in Carroll, Grayson, Ronoke, Pulaski and Smyth will be made safe before the end of the coming summer.

NEGRO EXODUS TO NORTH ACTUAL FACT (Preston News Service) Greensboro, N. C. May 24. "Don't let anybody fool you into believing that the Negroes are not leaving the south," declared a local passenger agent here. The Negro exodus from the cities, towns farms of the south to the north, "the promised land" is actually shown to be of larger proportions by actual figures, first hand facts, the accuracy of which cannot be successfully controverted. Greensboro the gateway of North Carolina and for that matter the gateway for the north word bound, is the place where actual facts can be ascertained. The actual data shows that a steady stream of Negroes pours to the steel mills, building centers, to boom the industrial localties beyond the Patomac west to the Mississippi. For example Southern Train No. 23 one night last week 200 Negroes with tickets reading northern points; 22 of them boarded the train here and the rest were from points south of this city. This is only one of five trains going daily to Washington or the north on which Negroes may ride and do ride in large numbers and there are seven days in each week. "The steel mills of Pittsburgh and Ohio are taking a considerable part of the migration which is interesting in connection with the recent statement of Judge E. H. Gary that immigration restrictions should be relaxed in order to help supply a labor shortage, followed by an official of the N. A. A. C. P. calling Judge Gary's attention to the ten million Negroes in the south available to work in his mills and in other plants in the north. What the steel mills will do with the Negro is problematic, but steel has been described as a devourer of men eating them and the Negro has not the stamina of men who have been consumed in this maw" declared the agent. And it is not only the Negroes who are the object of the solicitation of the labor agents, but white men are told as well of the big wages, offered large salaries for clerical work. How ever, there is not yet discernible here any large movement of white men to the north, perhaps it is because there is now throughout the south a big demand for labor" he concluded. --- KEARNS SAYS DEMPSEY WILL MEET WILLS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP ON LABOR DAY TWO ```markdown ``` Mary MRS. HAYES INDICATED. Mrs. Myrtle B. Hayes' indictment followed the appearance of Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate as a witness, in which he testified that the signatures of his name as endorsements on $325,000 in personal notes negotiated by her were spurious. She is under $10,000 ball. KEARNS SAYS DEMPSEY FOR THE CHAMPION Great Falls, Mont., May 19.—Jack Dempsey will battle Harry Wills the Negro heavyweight after meeting Tom Gibbons at Shelby on July 4, according to Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager who took charge at the champion's training quarters here today. The Dempsey-Wills contest will be staged on Labor Day, Kearns said probably in New York or New Jersey. When asked regarding future purses for Dempsey his manager said that he figured Jack and Wills would draw a bigger gate in this country than any two other fighters. Dempsey's manager said he was impressed with the drawing powers of the Shelby bout and he expected a capacity crowd. Kearns complimented Dempsey on his selection of a training campsite and said that the quarters here were far superior to those used by the champion at Toledo and Atlantic City before his bouts with Willard and Carpenter respectively. The champion himself declined to comment on his future bouts, declaring there was time enough to do that after he had beaten Gibbons. Dempsey took a five-mile run this morning and this afternoon he indulged in a session of shadow boxing and rope jumping. Tomorrow he will resafter taking a long walk, probably starting boxing on Monday or Tuesday. George Godfrey, Negro giant; Frank Powers, New York middleweight and Jack Burke Pittsburgh heavyweights are at his camp and other sparring partners including Joe Benjamin and Willie Meehan of California; Harry Drake and Billy Wells, British boxers are on their way here. Today hundreds of Great Falls school boys flocked to Dempsey's camp and swarmed over the training quarters. Many of them were in the way of the workmen engaged in the erection of an outdoor ring and spectators' stand. WILLS SEEKS THE RIGHT TO MEET DEMPSEY (New York Times May 22, 1923.) The proposed bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills for the heavyweight championship of the world which had been almost forgotten in the rush of other boxing events has bobbed up again. Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager., re-opened the discussion when he announced from Great Falls, Mont. that it had been practically decided to sign articles for such a bout to be fought in or near New York City. Kearns made this statement Saturday. Yesterday Paddv Mullins, manager of Wills, wrote to the New York State Boxing Commission demanding to know why Wills should not meet Dempsey in New York State. Hard on the heels of Mullins' letter it was learned that a project to build an arena in Long Island City, capable of seating 150000 persons in which to hold the contest was under consideration. The backers of the stadium project were reported to be Simon Flaherty owner of the property adjoining the Queensboro Plaza on which it is proposed to erect the arena; Harry Verner, a theatrical man; Benjamin Block, owner of Morvich and well-known turf man; Peter J. Maloney PICTORIAL REVIEW OF THE CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WORLD 13 PRAYER FOR KNIGHTS TEMPLAR The evening prayer for the Knights Templar of the Metropolitan District was held in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York.

ATHLETIC Y WILL MEET WILLS ONSHIP ON LABOR DAY Mr. Block's partner in the brokerage business and The Degon Construction Company which several years ago willed in the proposed site preparatory to building there a home for the New York Yankees. It also was reported that Dempsey and Kearns would share in the venture as a part of Dempsey's guarantee. AWAIT PERMIT FOR BOUT The entire project, however, is made contingent upon the permission of the New York State boxing officials to a Dempsey-Wills bout in this State. When this bout was first proposed Chairman William Muldoon of the State Athletic Commission issued a statement banning it in New York. Mr. Muldoon said last night that so far as he knew there had been no change of heart regarding the bout and gave it as his opinion that no action would be taken on Mullin's letter when the commission meets today. Under the revised boxing law, however, it may be that the final decision on such matters will be left to the newly-formed Licensing Committee, in which case there might be a decision favorable to the bout as the new body so far has expressed no opinion concerning it. From a source close to the Licensing Committee it was learned yesterday that that body intended giving the matter careful consideration if it should be brought before it. MULLIN'S LETTER Mullin's letter to the commission follows: New York State Athletic Commission. Gentlemen: Almost one year ago, in June 1922, I formally challenged World's Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey on behalf of Harry Wills. In accordance with the rules and regulations of your commission I deposited with the challenge a certified check in the amount of $2,500 guaranteeing the sincerity of Wills' challenge. This challenge was accepted by the commission and the check and challenge are still in your possession. Shortly after the challenge was placed in your hands, you ordered Dempsey to sign an agreement to meet Wills. This the champion did on or about June 15. 1922. This match at that time seemed to have the entire ap proval of the Boxing Commission and particularly of Mr. William Muldoon, the Chairman. Subsequently the commission seems to have changed its attitude towards Wills. Although still holding the challenge and check for $2,500 and still maintaining that legitimate challenges such as this are valid, there has been no official action taken by your body in this particular case. However, you have noticed recently that you supported Johnny Dundee whose challenge to Johnny Kibane was made under exactly the same conditions as was that of Harry Wills to Jack Dempsey. In a still more recent case you refused to Johnny Dundee permission to meet Jack Bernstein until he had first satisfied Benny Valger whose challenges and check also are in your hands. Your commission makes the rules which we observe. If the commission itself does not observe them, it is difficult for me to understand how the commission can expect boxers, managers or promoters to live up to them. If the commission can give me an logical reason why Harry Wills shouldn't be permitted to fight here or THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA M. T. DOME By J. M.

May 23.—The fourth annual track and field meet given at Howard last Saturday resulted in victory to Howard, having scored 82 points as against 45 by Hampton its nearest opponent. The meet was partcipated in by representatives from Wilberforce University; Hampton, Stercer; Bordentown; Dunbar Armstrong and Baltimore High Schools. Special events were arranged for Ned Gourdin the world's champion broad jumper; Cornellus Thompson of New York University and Jimmie Moore of Pennsylvania State College. Some of the remarkable events of the day were the sensational 100 yard dash by Richardson, Shaw Junior High School in 10 seconds flat; the brilliance two-mile run by Nichols, the newcomer from the University of Nebraska in 10:05. Nichols showed great endurance and lead in every lap of sprinting in on the finish for 220 yards, leaving the second man Graham of Hampton about 50 yards behind. Green Doakes Werring and Anderson of Howard showed cleverness and ability in the field events.

By defeating the Seminary team, the Hill Toppers clinched the championship of the Intercollegiate Association, having lost only two games this season—Union and Hampton—while Union, her nearest rival, lost to Lynchburg, Virginia Normal and Lincoln. Armstead pitched steady ball throut, having but one bad inning—the unlucky seventh—when Seminary touched him for four hits, netting their threatallies. The game was likewise featured by arbitrary rules by the umpire when he permitted. Moore to leave the pitcher's box for third base and go back to the pitcher's box again. He was staunchly supported by Coach Lawrence of Seminary. Totals ..... 29 3 27 4 5 Runs—Moses, Epps, Coles (2) Walker (3), Rose (2), Brown (2) Lanier, Woodruff; Umpire—Mave.

VIRGINIA THREE --- ```markdown ``` --- A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC: We stake forty-five years' reputation for honesty, integrity and honorable action against ten months' aspersions of our enemies and those who desire to profit by the failure of the greatest financial institution of the colored people. Our primary object and desire is to reimburse any of our people who have invested in any enterprise fostered by us We solemnly swear now, as we swore upon the witness stand, that not one dollar of our forty-five years' accumulation has been the result of dishonorable actions or sharp practices. We insist that the money alleged to be missing cannot be traced to us either directly or indirectly and that of all the people involved we are the greatest sufferer, even as our honesty has been our greatest asset. The money belonging to us and to the organizations with which we are affiliated was taken by others or was accredited to other accounts, so that when checks were drawn upon the account there was no money to meet them. There was no other course for us to pursue, other than to assume complete responsibility Our ledger sheets at the Bank had been stolen, removed in order to cover up these peculations and to make us the victim. We had not transferred our property. It was all in our own name and while the liability chargeable to us from this source was approximately ($64,000) Sixty-four Thousand Dollars, we surrendered assets (real estate) which conservatively handled, will bring over ($100,000) One Hundred Thousand Dollars, which is ($36,000) Thirty six Thousand Dollars more than the alleged liability. We have never had charge of a record in the Mechanics Savings Bank in twenty years' service. We could not have made a false entry upon the books of that concern. We had no reason so to do when we had surrendered property with a gross rental of ($11,000) Eleven Thousand Dollars. We have defended colored people, secured their release from jails, penitentiaries and stopped executions upon the gallows. We are now called upon to defend ourselves. Certain it is, that the people whom we have defended will stand by us. As for the better class of Southerners, their testimony in our behalf is an outstanding feature of this crucial period of our existence. We are trusting in God. In the language of Shakespeare, we are saying to our traducers and slanderers— There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats For I am armed so strong in honesty that they pass me by Like the idle wind, that I respect not. A full, free and square vindication is demanded by us and we believe we shall obtain it. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES SATURDAY.....MAY 26, 1923 When colored folks stand together for the right, they are bound to be suc- cestful. Conditions are disquieting, but good white folks are here yet and may find a way to help us. Colored folks, stand firm. Be manly, courageous, God-fearing. Be respectful to white folks and to colored ones, but do not sacrifice your manhood. We are certainly appreciative and thankful for the many kind things said concerning us and our work. Our traducers must necessarily fail in their assaults upon our character which has stood the test for more than a half century. No one, who has observed recent happenings in this locality will wonder over the steady flight of some of our colored folks to the northern clime. Even those in the jails and the penitentiaries are trying to get out to go Chief Bank Examiner F. B. Richardson of the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission and Attorney John Randolph Tucker, counsel for the State Corporation Commission itself have resigned their positions and will go out of office. Chief Examiner Richardson has the unique distinction of having closed three Negro Banking institutions in this State—the Mutual Savings Bank of Portsmouth, Va., the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company at Norfolk and the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond. Mr. Richardson will enter upon duties as vice-president of the Central National Bank on the northwest corner of Third and Broad streets in this city and just two blocks from the Mechanics Savings Bank building. Hon. John G. Luce former manager of the campaign of Col. Henry W. Anderson, the "lily-white" Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia against Governor E. Lee Trinkle is now in charge of the Mechanics Savings Bank under the present receivers AVAILABLE PUBLIC OFFICIAL City Engineer Allan J. Saville, who is known here as Director of Public Works has received an offer from Los Angeles California with the compelling information that he can name my own salary. We are not surprised at this information. He came to us leaving more lucrative employment with the evident intention of convincing the people of the city as to his real worth. Not since the days of Col William E. Cushaw, when this city was in its infancy has there been such convincing information as to the ability of this young official. You cannot go to any part of this growing municipality without being confronted by evidence of his transcendent ability along the lines of his chosen profession. In the meantime, no effort has been made to recognize this remarkable work by increasing his salary. To lose his services now would be in the nature of a calamity. We do not know that ten thousand dollars per year would hold him, but we are convinced that he is worth much more than this. Coupled with his ability is his urbanity of manner. He is and has always been approachable. This comes to him by heredity. He is nature's gentleman. All classes of people, regardless of politics or color will view with alarm this attempt to take from us such an able, commanding public official. CAPTAIN GUIGON GONE When Capt. Alexander B. Guigon passed away Virginia lost one of her ablest and best citizens. He was a gentleman of irreproachable character and high ideals. He scorned to be connected with any form of injustice. He was a type of the Virginian of the Old School and he held the respect and esteem of the humblest as well as of the most exalted. As a lawyer and a scholar, he had few equals. His connection with the celebrated Lunenburg Case, resulting in the saving of the lives of two hapless colored women and the freeing from the penitentiary of one other will be remembered by many. We'd not know of his illness, and his death came to us as a distinct shock. He has gone the way of all the earth and leaves behind thousands to cherish his memory and to remember with general satisfaction his many acts of kindness, which made him a beloved figure in this commonwealth. THE WAR ON INFIDELITY The Presbyterian General Assembly at indianapolis, Ind. and the Northern Baptist Convention at Atlantic City, N. J., seem to be having the same trouble experienced by the Episcopal Church in dealing with the divinity of Christ. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, who now seems to be as great a churchman as he was once politician led the fight in the Presbyterian body. The educational institutions devoted to training ministerial students have not been careful in the selection of the material chosen to lead the respective corrigations and many of these leaders seem to have gone after strange gods, so to speak and have been and are now taking independent action in dealing with the specific declarations of the Scriptures. They are doubting Jesus Christ's divinity and His virgin birth. They are endeavoring by specific argument to bring the religion of Jesus Christ on a par and in harmony with scientific teachings instead of bringing scientific teachings on a par and in harmony with the religion of Jesus Christ. They do not realize that "blind faith" is essentially necessary in order to be a true believer. Many of them do not accept the teachings of a divine Trinity, God the Father; God, the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The fundamental cause of these disagreements is due to the overzealous desire to increase membership in the churches,—bring the church to the individual, instead of bringing the individual to the church. In order to get money and increase membership, evils are tolerated and wrong-doing condoned, while the general belief in the Saviour is not an essential requirement to secure membership in the church. Now comes the battle for the supremacy of divine idols and Hon. William Jennings Bryan is exerting himself to combat the evils of this life. He will have the satisfaction of knowing that his last days are his best and his report on high will be in accord with the advice and instructions of the Scriptures. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION The outlook for a speedy peace in Europe is not bright. The Turks are arming and delaying, but they are not disposed to do any signing and as a result, the conference at Lausanne, Switzerland is deadlocked. Greece is threatening to go to war again. The Greeks seem to be of the opinion that success will crown their efforts in a war nearer home. They do not believe that the powerful Turk'sh army in Ain Minor can be brought across the straits and armed in a manner to defend them in battle. They are overlooking the fact that other smaller nations may be brought into the conflict against them. Another fact is evident too and that is that the Greek Government has no money with which to wage war. The Tanks had "method in their madness" when they forced the transportation of tens of thousands of Greeks to their native land, where their own Government must provide for them. This is a situation that is embarrassing the country and which may force the Greeks to conclude a peace, which is highly distasteful to them. No aid can be expected from Great Britain for it is now dealing with complications of the most delicate character. France is fully occupied with the Ruir Valley and the Germans are conducting a "war" of passive resistance, which is rapidly becoming as embittering as an open conflict. Just what will be the outcome of these conditions, no human being can at present foresee. A selfish world, with injustice everywhere rampant is getting its self-reward. MIGRATION NORTH The migration of colored people North from this city is causing much alarm and an organized movement is being formed to check it. The cause of this is the attitude of a certain class of white people in this city and State towards the colored people. While one class of white people is doing all in its power to encourage colored people to remain here by improving their condition and encourage them in their social and business relationship another class is doing all they can to humiliate their leaders and to destroy their business enterprises. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Politics and racial batred, superin- duced by financial gain is at the bottom of the whole business. For more than forty years, we have held up the advantages of this section for colored people and urged that they remain South, but the rising tide against color is vitiating and wiping out the force and effect of this kind of teaching. Some of our leading men are "treking" North for prosecution, which is not afforded them in this or any other State. Our jails and penitentiaries are now being filled with not only some of the worst colored people but some of our best and the leaders among the white people in favor of fair play towards colored people seem to be helpless. As servants, there is some trouble as independent business units, our position is becoming untenable. What is to be done about it? NOTICE. NOTICE.

Havana, May 21.—Jack Johnson former heavyweight champion of the world and Jack Thompson, the Boston heavyweight boxed twelve rounds here last night without a decision. The Havana Boxing Commission fined each boxer $500 for stalling. In the tenth round Referee Villamil left the ring and the promoter had to take over the duties until the bout was ended. Johnson and Thompson mixed it up well for six rounds but in the seventh the crowd began to show its disapproval of the boxers' tactics and threw refuse into the ring. CAN A LEOPARD CHANGE ITS SPOTS. (Preston Newa Service) Jackson, Miss. May 24—It looks as though the trite old saying that: "A leopard cannot change his spots" is about to be refuted. The recent outward signs of change of heart in Mississippi, the home of Vardaman, John Sharp Williams and scores of other Negro baiters, the planters of seeds of race hatred, indicates that the trend of events and conditions brought about by the exodus of Negroes, is really an awakening of conscience in that state. The recent expression of concern about the welfare and development of the Negro population of the state is significant as is indicated by the following resolution: "We must improve living conditions improve working conditions, look after the health and sanitary problems of our laborers and see that they get proper churches, schools and places of amusement. Every man and woman in the state must see to it that the laws protecting the Negroes in their lives and property are rigorously enforced, that the occasional white man who seeks to profit through the ignorance of his tenants or laborers be forced by the overwhelming weight of an aroused public opinion to give a square deal to all whom he employs regardless of race or color; and that there be the fullest co operation between the white man and the black to insure amicable relations efficient service and mutual profit to both." This public expression, velling white supremacy, is indeed a forward ant unexpected step for Mississippiians to take. This, however may be intended only to stop supposed Negro leaders of the South to work the harder to convince the southern Negro laborers that they should stay in the south. But the southern Negro has reached the place where he is determined to better his condition. He has been fooled too long by the southern white man. Promises will not keep him in the south nor will it bring those who have left back. It will take actual performance of the promises. The Negroes fear the ku klux klan, they know the thousands of white chiggers in the south; they dis trust the southern white man. It will take strict keeping of promises, fat and square dealing, enforcement of laws—administered fairly and justly to stem the tide of migration. The Negro loves the south, but his love is being murdered by mob violence, disfranchisement, inadequate school facilities; dishonest methods in marketing his crops labor exploitation, brutal violation of the sanctity of his home, frequent destruction of the chastity of his women. When a thorough and complete change of heart comes and the southern white man on serves the principle of the golden rule the Negro will not only remain in the south, but will flock back. It pays to advertise in this paper- It is the paper that goes home. The National Ideal Benefit Society INCORPORATED A LIVE PROGRESSIVE FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION Founded July 1912 Home Office, 210 E.

A WHAT COUNTIES PAY FOR RUNNING FORDS. State Board of Health Summarizes Ex Richmond, Va., May 14.—What it may be expected to cost a man who operates a Ford car over good roads and bad, on level stretches and on grades of every kind, is shown in a tabulation just completed by the State Board of Health which has, since May 1, 1919, been using Fords in its rural sanitation work through Virginia. The time has been divided into two periods, the high-priced days up to June 30, 1921 and the more normal months from that date until the end of .922. Then the figures are grouped for two periods. Excluding garage heat and depreciation, it was found that 35 cars, operated in 20 counties, had cost for the first period on the average for each car, $44.50 monthly, for the second period the cost was more than ten dollars less—$34.35. The monthly average for the whole time was $40.13. The second period is the most valuable for study, since it approaches the normal more closely than either of the other tabulations. From that it may be seen that the average driver on a cara man normally careful, can expect to run his Ford over country roads, taking the good with the bad and encountering all kinds of weather at a cost not to exceed $25 a month, if his mileage approximates 900. The mileages covered by the study are respectively, per month, 902, 912, and 907. Gasoline and oil account for about one-half the total cost the remainder slightly under fifty per cent, being chargeable to repairs, tires and tubes. Since the average life of a car engages in this sort of work is about eighteen months, the repair bill is not usually high. When a car begins to show signs of bad depreciation it is safe for what it will bring and a new car purchased. --- WOMAN'S BAPTIST STATE EDU CAIONTAL CONVENTION Lynchburg, Va. — The Woman's Baptist State Educational and Mission convention of Virginia will meet June 20-24, 1923 at the Second Calvary Baptist church of Norfolk, Va.

Chicago's famous black and tan cabaret in an order issued last Friday morning closing the last one of them in the Southside district. The famous institution was owned and operated by AI Tearney, president of the Western and Three I baseball leagues. In a statement of Tearney's following the issuance of the Mayor's order he declared that Negroes had not frequented his place for several years. But the new mayor declared that he had in his possession sworn statements to the effect that Negroes and whites mingled freely in the Auto Inn and that he was determined to clean the city of every such place. On Thursday night a speech delivered in Bethel A. M. church Mayor Dever said "I am going to revoke Tearney's license tomorrow, the method I have been using to close all cabins in Negro districts where members of both races and sexes mingle indiscriminately. This notorious place of Tearney's fams ours for its music, has been a high spot in Chicago's night life. It has been the scene of several shootings affrays the most recent being about two months ago, when Stephen Kellner, president of the Theater Janitor's Union was shot and killed by another labor leader. I shall not feel that I have done my duty as an official of this city until I have closed all such breeding places of crime."

Richmond, Va., May 14—Incredible as it may seem in these days there are still superstitious people who believe that the application of a "mud stone" will prevent any harm coming from the bite of a mad dog. Naturally, however, where there are superstitious people there are shrewd men who will take advantage of their ignorance. Several times recently reports have been received at the laboratory of the State Board of Health to the effect that the men who own these alleged to be miraculous stones have been charging big fees for putting the stones on scars made by a dog's bite. In one instance, the person so treated paid $25 for the service and subsequently died from rabies. Attorney General Saunders has notified the State Board of Health that it is right in believing that such practice as should be punished. He says: "I am of the opinion that any person who attempts to cure the bite of a mad dog by the use of a mad stone for compensation, is engaged in the practice of medicine within the definition of Section 1622 of the Code of 1919 and in all such cases where the person is not a licensed practitioner, you should report the facts to the attorney for the Commonwealth of the county in which such offense occurs, with the request that the party be prosecuted." A few prosecutions under this opinion will probably end the absurd superstition. Owners of the so-called mad stones will not be anxious to use them, when there is no fee in sight. The laboratory of the State Board of Health reports this year an increase in rabies consequently it is deemed necessary to take precautions against worthless treatment when the Pasteur treatment is available for everyone and at public expense.

D., having returned to Mt. Zion A. M. E Church Sunday, May 20th, he delivered his first message to his people at 11:00 A. M. from Acts 2:37-38, 3-19, "Repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out." This was a masterly discourse and all who listened to him might well say it was very instructive and filled with helpful admonition. At night the Reverend preached to a large audience on the sad subject of "Grieving the Holy Spirit," and when he had finished this discourse all could plainly see how so often we grieve the Holy Spirit. There were three accessions, two adults and one infant. The offerings were more than $130.00. Mrs. L. L. Stanard, of Richmond Grand Worthy Secretary of the U. O.

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. --- time.

OFFICIALS OF STRAIT-TEX CO MEET IN PITTSBURGH. Pittsburgh, Pa., May 24.—The officials of the Strait-Tex Chemical Company held a special meeting here last Monday with reference to opening branch offices in New York and Chicago. The representative from Chicago, L. B. Proctor spent Sunday and Monday in the city and stated that he found the eleven products of the company winning great favor in the windy city and vicinity. John F. Clark advertising manager explained that he has sent out several inquiries to various sections of the country for sketch by young Negro artists for window displays and layouts. He declares that it is his policy to have all printed matter and display advertising created by members of the race. His theory is that practice makes perfect and Negro concerns should begin giving their own race an opportunity to display creative genius.
