H to Perr Refuses C Race Poli Engag He Reiterates Trust---Say Who Suggesting that Perry W. Howard, Negro Republican National Committee from Mississippi, challenge to a debate on the issues of the Presidential Campaign, "some one of his own mental calibre, if such a person could be found," William H. Lewis of Boston, who is actively supporting the candidacy of John W. Davis for President, has sent Howard the following reply: "September 19, 1924. "Perry W. Howard, Esq.," "1216 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.", "Washington, D. C." "Dear Perry:—Your letter to me of September 17, addressed 'My dear Will,' is hardly of the friendly tenor that the address would seem to indicate. I am painfully conscious that while you hold your pen in one hand and write 'My dear Will,' that you are carrying a knife in the other hand. The cheap, low, demagogic appeal, and specious reasoning, makes it perfectly apparent that the letter is written for campaign purposes; so here goes the answer, and you can make the most of it. "In the first place, you speak of my 'lucrative practice' as due to 'the honors the party conferred' by making me an Assistant Attorney General. Let me observe first, that I was made an Assistant Attorney General of the United States by the grace of a great, big-hearted, Republican President, William Howard Tatt, at the personal solicitation of the late Booker T. Washington. I was not given the place upon the right of the colored people to representation. It was given to me, as indicated in Mr. Tatt's inaugural, as an encouragement to the colored people. See Mr. Tatt's inaugural address to this effect: 'Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and appreciation of their pro progress, and this just policy should be pursued when suitable occasion arises.' "We shall never have another Assistant Attorney General of the United States until it is given us 'by right, because of party service rendered." "Second. I enjoy my 'lucrative practice' because of what I am, and not what I was, as you will probably learn should you be so unfortunate as to lose your present job." "I have tried to remedy the situation, which you admit exists, by my untiring efforts in the Republican party. Arguments and appeals have fallen upon deaf ears, within and outside of the party organization largely as the result of the position taken by such gentlemen as yourself, who never tell the truth, but always say to those in power, all is well, when all is wrong. Your gratitude to the Republican party is not only for favors already received, but, for the hope of favors to come. "Most of the forward looking, and better thinking colored Republics take an entirely different attitude toward me than yourself. They have vision enough to realize that the fight I am making is for the benefit of the colored Republics who remain in the ranks. "As to your specifications against the Democratic party, I beg to call your attention to the fact that the Republican party has permitted all of these things to exist while it has held the reins of power. What the party permits, that it does. "Imitating with great reluctance, your one of argument, it seems to me that it ill befits you to complain of lynching, since long ago you took yourself out of the zone where lynchings are committed; and you took occasion two years ago, as I remember it, to write certain letters to Senators and Congressmen declaring that the Dyer Bill was unconstitutional. You may recall, also, that you are reported, at least, to have made a speech in Maryland not long ago, endorsing and upholding the Ku Klux Klan. ROLAND HAYES HERE OCT. 16. Every man and woman who intends to hear Roland Hayes, the great tenor, when he appears at the City Auditorium the night of October 16, at 8:30 o'clock under the management of W. H. Brennan, of Boston, is urged to get one of the exchange tickets now being distributed thru C. L. Winfree, of the Richmond Urban League. These tickets are not good for the auditorium, but must be exchanged for regular tickets at the box office in the Corley Company MR. ROLAND HAYES. 213 East Broad street, between October 6th and October 14th and those who get there first will have the selection of the best reserved seats for the price. The entire left side block and the whole of the balcony have been reserved for colored patrons. The Richmond Urban League will receive 25 per cent of the value of the exchange tickets turned into the box office and so those who fail to obtain the tickets from the executive secretary or his assistants, will deprive the league of its profits. The tickets must be paid for at the Corley Company when exchanged. Roland Hayes will open his program with a composition by Handel and will close with a group of spirituals, the last of which will be "Swing Low Sweet Charlot." He is one of the foremost singers in the world and is so well known that the auditorium probably will be crowded to hear him. He will be accommodated by William Lawrence RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924. "WE LOVE OUR WORK, BUT"— DON'T ATTACH YOUR HOSE OR BOY! HOO-RAY! E.E.E-YOW! PRETTY WORK!

DEATH COMBAT WAS NOISELESS AS YOUTHS STAGE KNIFE DUEL WASHINGTON, October 8.—One of the most peculiarly as well as diplobic death combat on record transpired in a class room of Armstrong High School here, last Wednesday, when two high school boys staged a grim and silent battle for their "rights." The room was filled with pupils and two teachers were present and the horrible scene had been done erie other pupils or teachers were aware of what had transpired. The weapons were nooker knives. The weapons were poacher karvov. The fearful tragedy was with such swiftness and quick of disturbance that nothing of the altercation knew nothing of the altercation until both boys had been stabbed LOVE OUR WORK, BU YO-RAY! E.E.B.Y. E.B.Y. U.S. costing the life of Edward W. Robinson, aged 16, and serious injury to Charles Emerson Cooper, aged 15. Following the tragic incident an investigation disclosed to Principal A. C. Newman, that Cooper placed himself in a seat made vacant by Robinson, while the latter went to the teacher, Miss Ophelia Davidson, to sign an enlistment blank for enrollment in the cadets. When he returned and found his seat occupied by Cooper, Robinson, it is stated, demanded Cooper to get out. When Cooper refused, Robinson grabbed him and pulled him out of the seat, and a spirited, but noiseless altercation ensued between the two. Suddenly Robinson pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed Cooper in the back. It is said that Howard M's handed Cooper a knife, and Cooper opened it and stabbed Robinson just below the heart. The attention of Miss Davidson and the other teacher Miss Cromwell was not attracted to the fight until Robinson orled out. "I'm stabbed," then Cooper yelled, "I'm stabbed, too." One teacher maintained order in the room, while the other took the wounded boys to the school dispensary, where Mrs. M. F. Selden, matron, administered first aid. Both boys were able to walk to the room. ```markdown ``` Lucinda Price Shoots Charles Kemp. Charged with Attempt to Bribe Officers. Witness Denies She Implicated Richmond Police. They were then rushed in automobiles to Freedman Hospital. Robinson was pronounced dead upon arrival. Cooper was bleeding profusely from the stab wound in his back. Young Cooper was held by the police pending outcome of coroner's inquest. The stabbing took place at 9:35 o'clock Wednesday morning. Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson received a written report from Principal Newman of Armstrong High S.hoof.

The land on which the new hospital will be erected was donated to the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospita- t. 406 E. Baker street by the Home Beneficial Insurance Company of Richmond, Va., of which Mr. R. D. Watkins is president and Mr. M. D. Nunnally is vice president. The site is large enough to erect several units to the hospital, which will be needed. There will also be a Training School attached. It adjoins the Virginia Union University on North Lombardy street and is one of the most beautiful sites in Richmond for a hospital. The site was selected by a white and colored committee, and was highly approved by the Association. Among the large gifts received were those of Mr. W. T. Reed, president of Larus Brothers Tobacco Co. and Mr. A. J. Dart, of Dart's Tobacco Co. There are a number of other large gifts promised the committee, and it is believed there will be enough in hand to start to work on the new hospital in early spring. The committee in charge of this campaign extends the thanks of the cooled citizens of Richmond to the honorable and most distinguished ones who have made such laudable gifts. The committee also asks those who have received letters from the institution to please send donations. They feel assured of success. There will be several entertainments given in the early fall for this cause. Rev. W. H. Stokes, president; Rev. W. T. Johnson, secretary; Mr. B. L. Jordan, treasurer; Doctors Miles B. Jones and A. A. Tennant, superintendents; James M. Frayser, campaign manager. PAST WORTHY COUNSELORS' YOUNGUL IS ORGANIZED HERE There was a meeting held Monday September 29, at the Pythian Castle under the leadership of our district deputy, Sister Lucy A. Cross. At this meeting the past officers of the various Courts of Calanthe of the city and vicinity were called together to organize a Past Worthy Counsellors' Council. A large number responded readily to the call of our district deputy and the result was the organizing and the election of the following officers: President, Sister Lucy A. Cross; vice president, Sister A. G. Thompson; chaplain, Sister Lucy A. Peters; financial secretary, Sister C. G. Per vall, R. M.; recording secretary, Sister Hattie L.

A sensation was caused Saturday, September 27th by news that Lucinda Price, wife of W. A. Price, funeral director and embalmer had shot Charles Kemp about four P. M. that day, dangerously wounding him. He was removed to St. Phillips Hospital. The ball came out and from the information given, he is now able to be on the street again. In the meantime United States Narcotic Agent Woodside, who had been in the service only a short time raided the place for dope and not finding any proceeded to interview Lucinda Price Saturday night. ALLEGE ATTEMPT TO BRIBE The case was called in the Federal building before United States Commissioner Flegenheimer last Thursday at about 10:45 A. M. W. A. Price, Lucinda Price, John Price and Lucy Kidd were charged with attempting to bribe a Federal officer Attorney H. M. Smith and his son, Attorney Hiram M. Smith represented ed the accused. Lucinda Price was out on-ball for shooting Kemp, but these officers caused all of them to spend the night of the 29th in the City Jail, it being a Jewish holiday and Commissioner Flegenheimer could not be reached. AN ILLEGAL SEARCH. One of the sensations at the hearing was the fact that the search warant was dated September 28th, but was served and executed September 27th. The Commissioner stated that he made the mistake and it is an interesting question as to whether the execution of this warant before the time on which it was dated was legal. Special Narcotic Officer Woodside admitted that Lucinda had made the remark that she would give a thousand dollars not to have her husband arrested. When this offer was pressed, she agreed to pay each one of the four officers $300 each not to press the charges. THE MONEY PAID They collected about $300 and John Price went over to the undertaking establishment and got a blank check and W. A. Price filled it out at first for $1,200, but the officers wanted the money in cash and he proceeded to raise about $700 in cash, which they received. They went to the Broadway National Bank to get the check cashed, but the official said that the check was not good for that amount on the open account, but was good for that amount on the savings account. ATTACKED RICHMOND POLICE. They then proceeded to arrest all parties concerned, they being afterwards released on ball. An additional sensation was caused by the publication of sensational charges against the Richmond Police force alleging that they were paid for protection. Officer Woodside stated that Lucinda Price told him that this was a fact. Lucinda Price denies having made any such statement.

Ne SS COLORFUL NEWS “MOVIES” By “THE CAMERAMAN.” 1—HAIL, HOLY NAME. 2—TECHNICAL DELAWARE. 3—GOOD MORNING, “MRS.” TEACHER. 4—IS THERE ANY PURE RACE? (From: The N. Y. Times) (Preston News Service) The National Convention of the Holy Name Societies of the United States, held in the Nation’s Capital last week, and culminating in a monster parade, was one of the most refreshing events that has taken place in Washington_in many years. Of greater significance, however, than the parade itself were the resolutions which were passed at the close of the meeting. The resolutions pledged devotion to the Constitution of the United States, and pronounced respect for the peoples of all races and all religious beliefs. They bespoke abhorrence for “any organization which seeks to deprive any person or group ‘of persons from the exercise of the inalienable rights granted to them under the Constitution, or to bar them, as citizens from any preference for the reason of race or the worship of God, according to the dictates of their conscience.” Thereafter, the National Holy Name Society, 75,000 strong, with hundreds of Negroes in its front ranks, marched in solemn sincerity up the historic Pennsylvania Avenue, for review by President Cool- idge and the High Church Staff, proclaiming its faith and seal- ing its preaching by its practice. The Holy Name Society is a subsidiary institution of the Roman Catholic Church, by far the mightiest church organ- ization in Amenca. The Catholic Church, like all other churches, has had its defects. But it cannot be said, with any degree of proof, that the Catholic Church has ever turned its back upon the struggling black man, at home or abroad. This virtuous mark cannot, we regret to say, be given to the Protest ant Church, some branches of which have continually: sought’ to carry racial hatred into the church. It is well remembered that in Washington, some years ago, the Protestant Sunday School Parade Committee sought to bring embartassment, through racial prejudices, to the black boys and girls of Pro- testant cleavage, who, in parade formation sought to honor the name of Ged. Particularly at this time, when the Protestant Church, thru section of its clergy and membership, has outwardly jbined hands with the Ku Klux Klan, having as one of its unhappy purposes, the oppression of America’s struggling black people, it is like discovering an oasis in the desert vo find the Holy Name Society and the great Catholic Church standing firm, in session and in open, for the full heritage which America has pledged herself, on the record at least, to bequeath to its Negro content. Individuals, of course, are at fault here and: there in the Catholic Church as well as elsewhere, and frequently they cast dark shadows upon the history of their group organization . But, when concerted action is needed, when outward or inward approval of the black man’s rights, inyor out of the Church, are before the house for consideration and settlement, the Roman Catholic Church can always be relied upon to Stand Up for Jesus—and for His children, regardless of their color. &zR PR & & KR TECHNICAL DELAWARE Upon a technicality, which, all its weight, our old friend, Jeffe was estopped from becoming a State Legislature. The Siate el Mr. Coage, who is temporarily en trict of Columbia, did not meet th three years continuous residence in Upon a technicality, which, under careful analysis, loses all its weight, our old friend, Jefferson S: Coage, of Delaware was estopped from becoming a candidate for election to the State Legislature. The Svate election authorities held that Mr. Coage, who is temporarily engaged in business in the Dis- trict of Columbia, did not meet the State law requirements of three years continous residence in the State of Delaware. It appears that the word “inhabitant” is used in the State law, and that the election authorities misconstrued this term as hav- ing the same meaning as “domicile.” Thereafter, it was held that Mr. Coage, who had not been continuously domiciled in the State, because of various absences as Commissioner to the Virgin Islands and in the District of Columbia, was unable to comply with the “inhabitant” section of the State election law, and, resultantly, could not become a candidate for a State office Without any desire to burden the patient readers of this column with the spirit of Blackstone, Kent, or the late Mr. Justice Harlan, but with the purpose of conclusively showing that, under the law, Mr. Coage was entitled to seek the candi- dacy, we shall briefly show that resident and inhabitant are of one and the same legal constituency, and that “domicile” im- properly beclonded the legal minds of those who invoked a technicality in Mr. Coage’s disfavor: “A soldier in the field retains his residence from which he has come He has no residence in the field. Graham v. Com. 88 Am. Dec., 581.” “Mere physical absence, with the intention to return, does not discontinue residence in a place.” “When a person has two residences at different’ seasons of the year, that will be deemed his domicile cr home which he himself selects or describes as his home, or where he votes or exercises the duties of a citizen. People v. Putnam, 36, Hun. (N: Y.) 218, 220.” . “One is an inhabitant of a place from which his departure is indefinite as to time, definite as to purpose, and for this purpose he has made the place his temporary abode. Brisenden v. Chamberlain, 53 Fed., 307,311.” “Domicile,” being merely the place where one eats and sleeps, can if no wise be accredited with the characteristics of a residenceship cr inhabitancy, which, under the law, are one and the same. Taking into the Coage case the additional fact that while he was ‘temporarily absent in the District of Columbia, a Federal territory, in which he had no vote nor State citizenship, being merely a citizen of the United States, HAIL, HOLY NAME THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. it follows that since, under the U. S. Constitution, he still retained his righ's as a citizen of the State of Delaware, in which he had exercised the right of suffrage and other citizen- ship privileges for more than 25 years, naught could be properly done by the State election officials to dissolve his privilege of candidacy under the State law. The error is obvious, and the incident is to be regretted. & RR & & PB = GOOD MORNING, “MRS.” TEACHER In Washington, which, as you know, has long’ since been running a dead heat with Boston, as a city of culture, we chanced to amble past a school house just as the bell ‘tolled its opening welcome this year. Our ears pricked up when we heard a little tot gleefully exclaim: “Good moming, Mrs. Teacher; I don’t know your new name.” Curiosity Jed us to eavesdrop upon the dialogue long enough to discover that the mature dispenser of lessons in readin’ an’ writin’ was no longer a maiden. She was, in fact,” matron and had, with hubby, locked up the cosy flat, prepared lunches for two, and with him departed to take her’ customary place attong the world’s wage-earners . ‘ : © Further inquixe divulged the fact that this year's gralip of school kiddies, hoshad not closely followed up marriage re- cords of the MSH of Columbia, had a Bic time aoe a knowledge of the proper accent and spelling:of the namesjof . ee abe ee eae Gloom pervaded the ranks of the training school teachers, who hoped to draw a lucky appointment next year; for, as one maiden lassie do'efully..said: -*8hat chance have we with so many isorged None after our prospective, jobs? .

Pleasant. That's better than nothing. She didn’t need French and Trigonometry for that work,” Bill concluded, dismally . In\dismay, we rushed for a street car, all ready for a hard day’s work. A Packard “Big Six” nearly swept us away as we started to beard the approaching car, just in front of Finley Wilson’s office. “Pardon me,” said the lady driver, whom we recognized as Mrs. Brown. “You see,” she said blithely as she prepared to engage the clutch, “We're having recess at my school, and, just think, I came all the way from home and forgot to bring my vanity case, and I’m in a great hurry.” And as Dame Teacher rushed on her way, We drifted off to the old roll-top desk, with many misgivings. IS THERE ANY PURE RACE? To the already numerous conceptions of race a British mem- ber of Parliament has added the theory that the modern Jews are of Mongolian origin, being the descendants of a tribe that settled in Southern Russia in the ninth century. Coming so soon after discussions about the Mongoloid origin of the Finns, this statement brings out once more the pitfalls that beset the paths of ethnologists. Not even professional pacificists are as bellicose in their strife with their fellows as are ethnologists of one school in deriding the theories of others. The truth seems to lie in the assertion of those anthropologists who claim that there is no pure race; that in the constant movements of peoples there have been intermarriages, to such an extent that even in countries which, like France or Norway, have strongly defined national sentiments the people are descended from all manner of racial stocks. Certainly this is tue in Great Britain, and we know it to be true in the United States. Clear as it is that there are numerous sharply distinguishable vacial types among the white peoples of the world—as among the red, yellow aid black—it is also clear that there is common confusion between race and nationality, and that in many cases a strong community feeling—such as marks the English, Scotch French or Geiman—exists utterly regardless of physical char- acteristics. “There might be less racial prejudice in Europe and in America if the truth were more widely recognized that even the “purest’” races are a product of endless mixtures of stocks throughout the ages. é e °@e, o@e one 8: a Your Baby Can Be Wonder Baby Too, ifeere BT gues = eG. a ee S.. ies ao) } aut wpa. .| a A: | Bea BRE va eee : ge ee pak iia er < | | ee kw ne on | | Sysy ° vee CS en Pe RS ae Se io | ay Stig, ee ae j LOO tee i ce aa Sat phe TES ee SO Sata dant uae aes ae fo hae [heey Oe RR er ee faethe. a SD OER oes Re ee ae es t ee ee gig ie Le al Sete Re ar | ae tee.

This organization deals with fundamental principles and is enjoying the cooperation and support of some of the leading thinkers among the white race. MR. LEWIS DECLINES. HON. PERRY W. HOWARD challenged Hon. William H. Lewis to a debate of the present day political issues. His letter was courteous throughout and in declining to accept the challenge Mr. Lewis made a most stinging and able reply, marred only by the following remark: "As to the debate. I will not personally induce in any circus or hippodrome scenes with you. The subject is too serious. I would advise you to challenge somebody of your own mental calibre, if you can find such a person. No one who knows you would take your opinion as to what the mass of the colored electorate is thinking. This language would be justified only in a controversy where the other party had transcended the legitimate rules of debate. We read Mr. Howard's letter carefully and we do not think any comment there in contained justified such extreme language. Attorney Perry W. Howard put up an able argument as to the past attitude of the Republican leaders in their dealings with the colored people, but was weak in citing instances as to what that same Party is doing for these colored folks today. The Democrat Republican recruits are endeavoring to drive colored voters out of the Party and then the regular Republicans wonder why the outraged colored folks seek an assylum in the camp of their former enemies when these former enemies are willing and anxious to receive them. But then, "It's God's way; His will be done, not ours." SHEPHERD NEWS. A big Membership Drive for the City of Richmond was launched last Tuesday night at the Girls' Home, 502 W. Clay St. The call of the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes was responded to generously by the Folds in the City of Richmond and Vicinity. Every seat in two large front rooms was taken. She sounded the key note of the campaign for the City of Richmond which was one thousand new members. All of the representatives of the Folds present enthusiastically joined in the launching of this drive and pledged themselves and their Folds to contribute their share to the success of this worthy movement. Every Fold in the City of Richmond is asked to add fifty new members to its roll between now and the 5th of December. A prize of ten dollars will be given to the Fold in the City of Richmond and Vicinity, which bring in the largest number of members over 50. The Grand Shepherd is offering fifteen dollars in prizes to be given to the individual who make exceptional records in the campaign. The division of the prizes given by her will be on this wise. Ten dollars in gold to the individual who brings in the highest number of members over 50: three dollars to the one bringing in the second highest number and two dollars to the one that brings in the third highest number. Let every member of each Fold in the City and Vicinity including the Folds in Henrico and Chesterfield counties join in the Campaign and help carry it beyond the thousand mark by the 5th of December. This can be easily accomplished if every member of the Fold will contribute just a small mite of their influence and time. TRUE REFORMERS TO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY OF THE FOUNDER OVER $2,000,000 PAID IN DEATH CLAIMS BY THE ORDER. Plans are being put under way by the subordinate Fountains of the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. for the celebration of the 75th birthday anniversary of Rev. William Washington Browne, Founder of the Order, on October 20, 1924. Each member of the Brotherhood is urged to try to have one new member by this date as a tribute to the Founder's memory. A mammoth division meeting of the Richmond True Reformers was held on the evening of September 30. Grand Master Trent presided. Mrs. Eliza Norrell was appointed chief to preside over the destinies of the division for the new year. The Fountains of the division were placed under the direct supervision of the following special deputies: Dr. W. H. Smith, G. W. T. of the Order, Mrs. Mary A. G. Reld, a member of the Grand Fountain office force; Mrs. Eliza Norrell, Prof. J. H. Blackwell, member of the executive committee of the board of directors; Mr Isaac Ba'jard and Mr. Eijlah Berley. Mrs. Eva J. Cosby of the Grand Fountain office force, was appointed Rosebud Deputy for Richmond District. The correspondent was completely taken off his feet when it was brought out by Grand Master Trent, in speaking of the achievement of the Order from January 1, 1881, the date when the Order was founded, to August 31, 1924, that the Order had settled 27,279 death claims, amounting to $2,190,502.23. A feat not surpassed by any other fraternal organization of the race. Mr. W. P. Burrell, of Newark, N. J. former Grand Secretary of the Order and perhaps the best informed True Reformer now living, was present at this meeting and delighted the members with a brief, but wonderful address on the life of the Founder and on the history of the Order. Mr. Burrell is the State Deputy for the Order in the State of New Jersey. On Sunday, October 12, at 3:35 P. M. the Community Band will make its first appearance in sacred concert at Reformers' Hall, under the auspices of Progressive and Fi- nance Fountains of Richmond. WILLIAM H. LEWIS (Continued from Page 1) "I can answer categorically one of your questions. I believe that twelve millions of colored people in this country will be quite as safe under the administration of Davis and Bryan as they are under an administration of Coolidge and Slemp, with such advisers as yourself." "To the next question, I will say that President Coolidge has done nothing in the year that he has been President for our group that is worth talking about, with or without an unfriendly Senate. He has done nothing that entitles him to the support of any independent, well-thinking coloreq citizen. What right have you, or any man, to complain of my course of conduct? I certainly have up to now not questioned the integrity of your motives. I am acting this year upon the advice given by the late President Harding in his Birmingham speech. You may read it with a great deal of advantage. Mr. Harding said, October 28 1821; at Birmingham: "I do not want the colored people to be entirely of one party. I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up. Neither political sectionalism nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. I want to see the time come when black men will regard themselves as full participants in the benefits and duties of American citizenship; when they will vote for Democratic candidates, if they prefer the Democratic policy on tariff or taxation, or for foreign relations, or whatnot; and when they will vote the Republican ticket only for like reasons. We cannot go on, as we have gone on for more than half a century." "I cannot permit myself to doubt that you were a pretty good Democrat when you were in Mississippi, because you are 'all things to all men.'" "As to the debate. I will not personally indulge in any circus or pinchdrome scenes with you. The subject is too serious. I would advise you to challenge somebody of your own mental calibre, if you can find such a person. No one who knows you would take your opinion as to what the mass of the colored electorate is thinking." "In conclusion, 'dear Perry,' may I not call your attention to circular No. 1348 of the Department of Justice, January 2, 1924, or do you wish me to call the attention of the Attorney General to the circular? "With fondest regards, and 'au revolor', I am "Your 'dear Will'." THE BIOHMOND PLANET. BIOHMOND. VIRGINIA PROGRESS OF NEGRO ASTOUNDS SOUTH AFRICAN. ATLANTA, GA., October 1—"To a visitor from South Africa, the progress of the American Negro is positively astounding," says Rev. A. A. Kidwell, prominent religious leader from Johannesburg, who has just rounded out an extensive tour in this country, making a special study of Negro education. "I have been particularly pleased," he continued, "with the educational progress of the race in this country. In South Africa it is popularly supposed that the educated Negro is a failure. Here I find that just the reverse is true. The American people seem to recognize that education affects the Negro just as it does any body else, making him more capable, more efficient, a better citizen and an asset to society. Your system of public education is based on that theory, and the multitudes of educated, progressive Negroes whom I have found throughout the country prove that the theory is correct. "I have been deeply impressed a'so, and even astonished," said Dr. Kidwell, "at the economic competence which American Negroes are achieving—their success in agriculture, industry and business. Your big insurance companies, banks, real estate corporations, construction companies and the like have no parallel anywhere else in the world, so far as I know, and certainly not in South Africa." Dr. Kidwell is superintendent of many churches and schools in British South Africa and is deeply interested in promoting the welfare of the natives. His observations of the favourable effects of public education and economic opportunity for the race in America he hopes to use to good advantage on his return, in the effort to bring about a more liberal attitude toward the native population. He frankly admits that the relations of the races in South Africa are much more difficult than here and that the natives labor under limitations and handicaps far more severe than anything to which the race is subjected in this country. Dr. Kidwell spent several hours looking into the work of the Interracial Commission, and expressed the opinion that its principles and methods ought to be applied around the world wherever there is interracial friction. NEGRO VOTE LOST IN KEAN- EDGE SENATORIAL FIGHT TRENTON, N. J., October 3.—Senator Waker E. Edge, of New Jersey has apparently won a victory over Hamilton F. Kean for the Republican nomination for Senator. Edge's victory is apparently a strong example of what a split in the Negro vote of New Jersey has accomplished, as there was a great division and a bitter fight between the factions who supported Edge and those who wanted Kean to succeed him. Normally there are about 80,000 Negro votes in New Jersey, and Edge's majority of 50,000 shows just how powerful the 80,000 Negro vote might have been. Several New Jersey politicians stated after the election, that if the national Negro vote is thus split, in November, 1924, it will be difficult to secure any substantial benefits to any of the three Negro vote groups. CHICAGO NOTES. A surprise birthday party was given for Mrs. Luster L. Blenn, on September 13, at the home of Mrs. Etta Johnson, 17238 Staven St., by the members of Meridian Chapter, No. 86, O. E. S.

More Than 213,000 Ballots have been Cast.LaFollette is Second and Davis Third.Vote Now. BAPTISTS HOLD GREAT MEETING INTENNESSEE Funeral of Treasurer, Dr. Andrew Jackson Stokes Held at Opening of the Convention----$300,000 Sunday School Building Dedicated----President Coolidge Sends Greetings. The nationwide presidential poll, in which The Planet is cooperating with more than 7,000 daily and weekly newspapers in every State, has piled up a total of more than 213,000 votes, figures which furnish the basis for some very interesting political speculation. Votes from twenty-seven States have been received and in numbers sufficient to indicate the trend of political sentiment. These States are from all sections of the country and bear out the prediction that the nation is now into one of the closest political races in many years. This nationwide test vote is consistent with other straw votes and shows Coolidge leading, La Follette second and Davis third. However, this vote shows Davis running a better third than do some of the other test votes namely. The Literary Digest vote and The Hearst Newspapers' poll. This can be accounted for in that this newspaper's poll embraces the rural vote, while the other two straw votes are mostly from the cities. The latest returns in the Literary Digest poll shows Coolidge far in the lead. His vote is 162,473 to La Follette's 63,534 and 42,611. La Follette is running neck and neck with Coolidge in California, in the Digest Poll. This is consistent with this newspaper's poll. The vote being taken by the Hearst newspapers shows a strong La Follette sentiment but the same positions of the candidates: Coolidge first, La Follette second, and Davis third. Latest tabulation of this newspaper's poll shows Coolidge with 87,824. Le Folette 65,398 and Davis 59,797. The table below shows how the voting is progressing in twenty-seven States throughout the country: New York ..... 11,744 5,398 5,837 Maryland ..... 8,951 7,245 9,632 Illinois ..... 8,867 7,135 4,842 Wisconsin ..... 1,180 2,091 543 Washington ..... 1,749 1,903 663 Massachusetts ..... 2,914 2,023 1,986 California ..... 6,552 8,769 2,485 Texas ..... 1,595 949 3,545 Georgia ..... 636 879 2,478 N.

Y. P. U. Congress will meet in Wichita, Kansas. The convention was the guest of the Baptist Churches of Nashville, and the sessions were held in the Ryman Auditorium, the largest convention hall in the city, and it was taxed to accommodate the large delegation. When Dr. Williams called the convention to order at 10 o'clock the large crowd led by Dr. Williams, sang "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." After devotionals by Reverends M. Thornton, Alabama, S. Bates, Iowa, and W. R. Forbes, Georgia, President L. K. Williams made the following opening remarks: "It now becomes my duty to announce the opening of the 44th annual session of the National Baptist Convention. I am glad to see so many of you present. It is a big thing to be a Baptist, but a bigger thing to be a member of the National Baptist Convention. We would not swap places with any living person in the world. We are called to order this day, as never before in the HIS BUSY SEASON MARK YOUR CHOICE. UNCLE.

Two of the 27 States heard from are in the doubtful column, according to the votes so far polled. They are Oklahoma and Ohio. Coolidge shows an unexpected strength in Oklahoma, normally a Democrat State. In Ohio the fight evidently is to be between Coolidge and La Follette. La Follette has the backing in Ohio of the powerful Scripps-Howard group of newspapers. Coolidge is at present leading La Follette but political travelers returning from the land of Buckeyes report that enthusiasm for the Third Party candidate is to be found throughout the State. Perhaps the placing of Pennsylvania in the Coolidge column on the face of returns will be questioned by many. However, the slight lead that La Follette has should be discounted inasmuch as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh votes are not included and would no doubt overcome the lead and give a substantial majority to Coolidge.

Death has invaded our ranks and has taken from us, the oldest officer in the convention. Dr. Andrew Jackson Stokes, our treasurer. His body is now in state in this city. God's will be done and not ours. If it is your desire to do so, his body will be brought here for funeral in a short time." THE FUNERAL OF DR. STOKES. The memorial program was announced and the officers of the convention were appointed active pall bearers, while the secretaries and members of the boards were the honorary pall bearers. Rev. Dr. Boyd, of Alabama offered prayer. As the corpse was carried to the altar the choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and Dr. J. C. Jackson, of Connecticut lined the first hymn and prayer was offered by Dr. Charles H. Parrish, Kentucky and the Rev. Dr. P. James Bryant read appropriate scripture lesson. After hymn remarks were made by the assistant pastor to Dr. Stokes, telling of his seeming presentment of his death, and his expression to attend the convention in his casket. Dr. L. B. Brown, of Los Angeles, spoke of the wonderful work which Dr. Stokes had done in the short time he was in California. Dr. T. O. Fuller, assistant secretary read the eulogium. Dr. R. T.

Several of these 21 States are in the solid-south and are Davis States. Four of them are New England States and likely for Coolidge Six of them are in the West and Northwest and may swing to La Follette. Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, Utah and Oregon are States amongst the 21 as yet unraised from, which, when their vote is included will make this national poll fairly indicative of the national sentiment. Have you voted yet in this nationwide poll? If not, you should do so at once. You are conferring a favor upon your party leaders by casting a test ballot for your candidate. This nationwide poll will close Saturday evening, October 11. Clip out the sample ballot below, mark an X before your candidate's name and mail or bring in to the Planet office.

OLD C TENNE w Jackson Stoke ,000 Sunday Sch oolidge Sends Gr ident of Selma University prescheduled the funeral sermon, from text, "In my father's house are many abiding places," John xiv:2. He said that Jesus prayed for the unity, the sandification and the final abiding place for his people. He said that the nature of the work done in the world would largely determine the character of the heavenly abode. Heaven is the abode of the glorified saints," he said, "and there is ample room for all. Jesus died for men because He loved men." Dr. Walter H. Brooks, Washington D. C., made remarks. He spoke on the life and character of the late Andrew Jackson Stokes, the man whose life was spent for his people. He was followed by Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, who paid a tribute to his comrad, his fellow workman in the cause of the Master. "Waiting For Me" was sung. The congregation stood while the remains were carried out. DR. AUSTIN ON MISSIONS. Dr. J. C. Austin, Pittsburgh, president of the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention and chairman of the Foreign Mission Board delivered the opening address on the motto theme, "The Conquering Christ—In Missionary Activities." He said: "Christ as a conqueror was what John wanted to see and a great truth he wanted established in churches of Asia Minor and throughout the Presidential Poll Ballot Scratch names of the two candidates you do not wish and leave the name of your choice unscratched.

He is an exile on the island of Patmos 'for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.' Patmos was a prospective point where John stood a solitary spectator of the stupendous secrets of time and eternity. Persons and things, causes and events appropriately represented, passed successively across the scene of the ages, enarting their part until the grand drama was consummated by the setting of the judgment throne, the rewarding of good and evil and the death of time. "John, having been strengthened by a divine touch, was carried higher that he might receive greater evidence of his Master's power and as sured conquest. Thus upon the elevator of faith he was snatched before an open door into God's great courtroom, where he could hear and, see the deliberation of justice, the pleadings of mercy and the honors bestowed upon the Christ of our soul as He went forth and returned from the fields of bloody conflict. "The mysteries of heaven, earth and hell present, past and future, were developed, personified and acted before him.

Two Jacks to Fight in Spring. NEW YORK, October 4—(P.N.S.)—According to an announcement from the office of Tex Rickard, veteran promoter, Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey will meet in a battle to decide the heavyweight supremacy of the world at Boyle's Thirty Acres New Jersey, on July 4, 1925. Rickard and Kearns had a series of conferences last week, and at the conclusion of these conferences, it was hinted that the papers would soon be signed, giving official sanction to the match. However, Dempsey will meet Jack Renault, the Canadian Champ, either during the winter or early spring, as a warming up process, it was said. WILLS FOUGHT TWO MEN; FIRP0 AND DEMPESY, MANY SAY. NEW YORK, Oct. 3—(P. N. S.) The opinion is growing in and around New York among able sport critics that Harry Wills, the reliable old campaigner, was really holding his stuff for the benefit of Jack Harrison Dempsey, heavyweight champion, who was a spectator at the Wills Firpo fight. Wills, everyone knows, has arrived at the point where he can demand a bout with the champion. Some writers say that Wills was not doing his best—rather going his best—in the fight with Firpo because he knew that the Dempsey person was right there at the ring side drinking in every move he made. Harry is a reliable old campainer He knew what Dempsey was there for. It wasn't to see the fight and to enjoy the thrills. At the end of the seventh round Dempsey got up and walked out. Because all that he or anyone else was seeing was the humdum repetition of Wills' feinting Firpo into an opening and then pummeling away at his ribs. Was Wills actually hiding his stuff? Smart boxing men say he was. Did he fight two men—Firpo and Dempsey? Was he felling two birds at one and the same time? Was he baffling Firpo physically and Dempsey mentally? Rather a unique situation if he did. RULES GOVERNING THE WORLD SERIES GAMES (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, October 2—(P. N.

WELCOME ADDRESSES Addresses of welcome followed. Dr. W. F. Powell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, oldest church in Nashville, represented the white Baptists. He said that he welcomed the Baptists for what they had been what they were and for what they were going to be in the future. He presented to the convention, perhaps the oldest living Baptist woman in Nashville, the oldest member of the First Baptist Church, over 75 years a member, and she was over 100. When the colored Baptists were set aside she did not leave or move her membership. The Rev. Dr. W. Lawrence Camp beil delivered an address of welcome on behalf of the Baptist Minister's Conference of Nashville, and he was followed by Dr. R. B.

C., president of the National Race Congress read the following letter from President Calvin Coolidge; "I have just learned that the National Baptist Convention is to meet in Nashville, September 10. Please be good enough to extend to the members of the convention my greetings and wishes for successful meeting. Representing the 4,000,000 communicants of the Baptist denomination the gathering will be always one of the important conventions of the year. By their continuing devotion to the interest of charity and of education alone with those of religion, the members of this communion have contributed greatly to the humanitarian as well as the spiritual advancement of the nation. That this year's convention may give further impetus to their fruitful activities is my earnest wish." On motion made by Dr. A. T. Stewart, Texas, the rules were suspended and a committee appointed authorized to send a reply to the letter from the President of the United States. THE MAYOR WELCOMES. At this point Mayor House, of Nashville, delivered an address of welcome which had the right ring, the spirit of brotherhood, of respect for manhood and womanhood. He was given an enthusiastic ovation. Mayor House was followed by Dr. C. K. Brown of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who extended welcome for the other denominations of Nashville. Miss Pierce was presented and she brought greetings from the Christian womanhood of Nashville. The Rev. Dr. W. D. Carter, of Seattle, Washington, responded to all addresses. He was eloquent and said some mighty good things. Thus ended the morning session of the first day. (To be continued) WYTHEVILLE NEWS. WYTHEVILLE, VA., Oct. 1.—Rev. J. V.

Tabloid Magazine This is my idea, a heard Curtiss Wright morning, as his voice me from the sun porch Dad were deeply engl version "The Florida East Coast will have one of the most attractive and modern settlements for their workmen of any town in the South, if our means carry," he supplemented. "It's my desire to design simple and substantial houses for the men and their families, but, at the same time, each one of those houses will have its distinct and separate individuality. These people will have pride in their homes if they are not built exactly like hundreds of others in the same village. Their sense of the beautiful should be encouraged. Its effect is far reaching. Parks too, he went on, his voice rich with the interest he felt in his subject, "will be kept by a committee of women in a turn-about system so that they will feel the flowers are their very own. Put your shops in a village of this sort." he hummed up his argument, and your men will be more efficient. Furthermore, everyone coming to Florida will view it with interest." I think your plans are spread out, Mr. Wright," my father was talking, "and as president I have the privilege of giving them our acceptance with our hearties, congratulations. I should want you to take entire charge of this end of the work, however, and because we shall probably have frequent consultations, it will be most pleasant to have you as our guest while your sketches are in the making." I waited expectantly. Suppose he had changed his mind and decided how to stay after all. Then came the answer. "I shall be more than delighted," Mr. Wright responded. Curtiss Wright in the house. Our guest. I contemplated the future with a glow of enthusiasm... Propinquity... bright conversation... goring... dancing and the whole town buzzing. The woman hater. My bet with Marjorie. Oh, it was thrill ing! "Good morning to the glad new day" came a cheerful voice and Anne Coddington stood in the doorway. At the same time Father and Mr. Wright entered. "Miss Coddington?" Mr. Wright inquired during the introduction which followed, "have we not met before? The name and face are hauntingly familiar." "No. I am sure you are mistaken," Anne answered hurriedly, and with what I thought unnecessary decision, "I have an uncanny trick of remembering names and yours is not registered. I'm sorry," she concluded, her voice more excited than usual, then changed the subject. "Et vous, Miss Sallie? We missed you at breakfast," Mr. Wright said, coming over to the chaise-longue where I was reeling. "Cou'n't make it." I replied. "I'm just dragging one foot after the other this morning," I announced when father had gone with his golf sticks and some friends to his beloved Timquana. "A hectic party, Anne, darlin," I explained. "We all got razzled-dazzled except Mr. Wright who was my date" (I couldn't resist saying), "but this morning I'm so nervous I feel like I've got the heebe-jebes. I can see you've had your beauty sleep, you look like a May Morning." "Thanks. I went to Alma Davis' dance and it really was lovely. Paul Whitman's orchestra from New York and exquisite favors. I was home by midnight though, and turned in early, so I could have a swim at Elen Gray's this morning. I feel like a million dollars. And indeed she looked it. Her dutty frock was of soft filet lace and with the right tint of tea roses about it, and a pinkish-orchid hat that shaded her face, making it look like a flower. Her little white kid slippers were spotless. One could feel that she was going to church. There was a clean air of the Sabbath morning, freshness about her. Curtiss Wright was quiet. I wondered what he was thinking. Finally he crossed the room to where she was sitting, took up her prayer-book and hymnal and ran through it. He looked at us both and I wondered if he were making comparisons. I felt rotten. My head had a dull, ceaseless pain. I had put on the first frock I had come upon and it needed pressing: there was a run in my stocking. I thought of how unattractive I must now look, compared to Anne's perfect grooming. "Oh, what a difference in the morning." I yawned, and began humming. I decided I'd feel better when Anne left us. I would have a quiet chat with Curtiss Wright and find out what he knew about Ted's disgraceful behavior. Yes, it would be comforting to YOU NEED NOT FAIL have him sit beside me, and talk in his nice voice which was low and soothing; I closed my heavy-lidded eyes I wished vehemently now that Anne would hurry. "Episcopalian, I knew if" he was saying. "You have an Episcopalian face. The boys in the army used to bet that I could guess any man's religion. It gets to be easy when one studies people. Anyway, your service is very impressive. It has depth and strength behind it that tones one up for the rest of the week." "I was just, wondering if you would like to go to St. John's with me this morning." Anne invited. "I have my car outside and I will be glad to have you." Anne glanced at her watch. "If you were dressed, Sallie, you could go too, but we only have ten minutes." "I shah be delighted, Miss Codington." Curtiss Wright accepted, "and thanks very much for the invitation. Would you go if you were dressed?" he asked coming over and looking down at me. "Not on your life, I'm better off with my own thoughts. But don't you bother about me. I'll be busy getting my things packed. I'm going to Pensacola on a house party tomorrow." (Continued Next Week.)

Some of us capitalize opportunity and grow rich. Others are blind to opportunity and remain in the rut. One night in 1917 while he was eating dinner in a cheap restaurant on the Barbary Coast, San Francisco, Paul Whiteman resolved to rise from poverty to wealth and to make his name famous throughout the world. At that time he was a violinist in a cheap cake orchestra—a part time violinist at part time play. As he ate, an outlaw quintet entered the restaurant and began to play a medley of jazz from the African jungle. To him it seemed that jazz was more a genre of rhythm and cool, which appealed to human beings so much to relax.

Thank you. L. P. It is not necessary for a lady to remove her glove. A gentleman should always remove his glove be fore shaking hands, and a "Pardon my glove" does not excuse his rudeness. Dear Miss Flo: Recently a relative of mine died and friends sent flowers. Would it be proper to publish a card of thanks in the newspaper or should a personal note of thanks be sent to each friend? (2) If the latter is correct, will you kindly give me a form which I could use. A. K. Either is correct. If you wish to write each person who sent flowers an individual note expressing appreciation, the following short note would be sufficient: "Dear Mary: 'Your kind expression of friendship and sympathy was very much appreciated, and touched me, deeply. 'Sincerely yours,'" Dear Miss Flo: When shortcake is served, with cream, should it be eaten with fork or with a spoon? (2) When a fruit cocktail is served how should it be eaten? Thank you. L. M.
