This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR THE RICHMOND PLANET G. O. P. MAY LOSE COLORED VOTE IN BALTIMORE Many Votes for La Follette Because of His Stand with Cohen in Senate. VOLUME XLII, NO. 47 G. O. P COLO IN B Afro-Ameri Force Many Votes His Stand (By Robert Barry, for Public Ledger Company) BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.—No more amazing circumstance in this year of political paradoxes is likely to be found than in the Druid Hill Avenue section of Baltimore, where reside the fashionable Negroes of old Maryland. Republican managers, confident of adding the State's eight electoral votes to the Coolidge total, have to look there for their most serious problem. Strange as it may seem, it has become a mark of social distinction in those circles to be Democrats. One third or a little more of the Republican vote in the city of Baltimore is cast by Negroes. Unless the President can defend that bulwark of Republican strength against the assaults of Senator La Follette, through his vigorous denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan, and of John W. Davis through the whims of a dark-skinned Dame Fashion, his hopes of capitalizing defections from normal Democratic voting lists must be discounted. Ask in Baltimore, the question: "Will La Follette take much of the Negro vote from Coolidge?" Then get the surprise of your life. It will come in the form of six reasons given by the Afro-American a weekly newspaper with a circulation of 39,000 and recognized as the racial organ in the city, for its out spoken support of Mr. Davis for the presidency. It will be strengthened and supported by the statement that W. H. Lewis, football, baseball and track star at Harvard, friend of Cavin Coolidge at Amherst, Assistant Attorney General of the United States under appointment by President Harding, is out making speeches in all the border States urging the election of Mr. Davis. As the story is related in the high society of the colored race in Baltimore more, Lewis enjoyed a friendship with Mr. Coolidge which enabled him to obtain letters signed "Yours, Cal." I have not seen them. I have talked to men who said they have. And Lewis, now in Indiana, campaigning for Davis, after having done effective work in Baltimore, is quoted as having said he was for Davis and against Coolidge because he knew Coolidge. It might be hard for any one born and reared north of the Mason and Dixon Line to understand just how important such an effect as the loss of a leadership, as Lewis is recognized as possessing, might mean in a political sense. To any person, who appreciates the superiority of the brown or yellow Negro over the black of slave days it is less of an enigma. The educated Negro refuses to be bound by the tradition tracing to the Proclamation of Emancipation. GIVES REASONS FOR SWING TO DAVIS. Editor Arnold, of the Afro-American, gives six reasons for the support of his organ thrown to Mr. Davis and against the nominee of the Republican party. They are: Mr. Davis fought and killed the Oklahoma "grandfather clause" for disfranchisement of the Negroes of that State.

When he returned to his own country his voice had the whole hearted admiration of Europe. There remained the very dict of America to set the seal on his greatness. This America did in no uncertain manner. Roland Hayes has placed himself among the scant half dozen in the concert world who need only announce an appearance in any city to fill the hall. MR. ROLAND HAYES. The entire balcony and the left side of the floor will be reserved for colored patrons, who are urged to use the exchange tickets which have been distributed by C. L. Winfree, executive secretary of the Richmond Urban League, as the league will receive a percentage of all these tickets turned into the box office at the Corley Company, 213 East Broad St. The public is reminded that the tickets given out through the league will not admit a person to the auditorium, but that it must be exchanged for a regular ticket not later than next Tuesday night. Roland Hayes will give the following program: "Care Solve," from 'Atalanta,' Handel: Eviva Rosa Bela Galuppi; An die Dieler (To the Lyre) Schubert; Die Forelle (The Trout), Schubert; For Musik, Franz; In Myrtle Shade, Griffes; "I Know a Hilt" Wheleplay; In the Silence of Night: Rachmaninoff, Negro Spirituals: I've Got a Home in that Rock, arranged by Roland Hayes; Hall the Crown, arranged by Avery Robinson; Every Time I Feel de Spirit, arranged by Lawrence Brown; Swing Low, Sweet Charlott, arranged by H.

MINISTERS QUESTION DAVIS ON RACIAL ATTITUDE The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Philadelphia and Victinity sends out the following open letter to the Honorable John W. Davis, Democratic Candidate for President of the United States of America: "Hon. John W. Davis, "Locust Valley, Long Island. "Honorable Sir:—The undersigned representing the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Phi adelphia and Vicinity, take the liberty of addressing you with reference to certain repeated statements during your recent trip in the West, particularly in your speech at Gary, Indiana, in which you made certain declarations as to the unchallenged democracy of WILMINGTON, DEL. October 6. —John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for President, set a president here last Saturday evening, when he personally spoke before a large audience of Wimmington's colored voters. After his speech at the Playhouse, Mr. Davis was escorted to the National Theatre, where he was given an enthusiastic reception by more than a thousand colored men and women. The Presidential candidate was accompanied by Senator Reyard and the leading candidates in the Democratic State ticket in Delaware. Robert J. Nelson arranged the meeting and presided. Edward W. Henry president of the Citizens Republican Club of Philadelphia, and one of the first prominent Negroes, to come out for Davis and J. Stewart Davis, a colored attorney of Baltimore, also spoke. GETTING OUT HIS HEAVIES OLD MAN POLITICS the Democratic Party: To wit; "The Democrats believe in a government of the people, for the people, with equal rights to all men, and special privileges to none." And further "That it elected to power in November the Democratic Party will put an end to unwarranted search and seizure, will uphold under all conditions the inalienable right of free speech, free press and free assemblage." "You are the acknowledged standard bearer of your Party. If such sentiments represent your policy of administration should you be elected President, then we cannot but hail with joy the new spirit of fairness with which you and your party have become possessed: and all the more so in view of the past record of the Democratic Party with reference to the colored citizen. But candor compels us to remind you of certain undemocratic conditions now existing in the South. The Democratic Party has openly violated the constitution which you quote in that it has established a one party government, which system of government could not obtain in a real democracy. In the Democratic primaries of the South, for example, colored Democrats by statutory law are prohibited from voting. And this is used as a pretext by your --- TRIES TO OUST WALTER L. COHEN AS U. S.

While it is not the intention of this body to go to the grave yards and exhume the putrifying bones of Democratic leaders of the past, still may we not call your attention to state and states where Negroes are denied the privilege of the franchise on the ground that he will become the equal of the Anglo Saxon in the body politic. And such conditions are antagonistic to your declarations in your speech at Gary, Indiana on September the 19th when you pledged the Democratic party to uphold the constitution. And now in view of this open communication to you we are taking the liberty of propounding to you the following questions, with the hope that the answer to which may be of such character that in living reality we may be made to feel that you believe in a 'Government of the people and for the people with equal rights to all men and special privileges to none." And here we rest our case with the following questions: (a) When you say "Equal rights to all men," we wish to know definitely whether you include the colored citizen? (Continued on Page 4) (Bernard L. Allen) Before an appreciative audience that nuded every available seas of Ebenezer Baptist Church, the 1924 Men's Bible Day Exercises were successfully staged Sunday, October 5. The address of Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph.D., that prince of teachers and finished scholar, in the opinion of those competent to judge such matters, marks a new epoch in the history of the Mens' Bible Class Movement. Its sound philosophy and practical advice was interspersed with rare wit and humor. He stressed the essentials of Bible study in a series of epigrams that Richmond men will not soon forget. REV. STOKES ON THE BIBLE. "The Bible does not only contain poetry, history, and prophecy, but it also gives the rules of human conduct and is a guide to human life, whether it be that of individuals or nations. No nation or individual can hope to go very far, who directs its life or his life in any other way than that laid down in this blessed book," said Dr. Stokes. He stated that there is harmony between the Bible and all true science. "The Bible teaches good citizenship. The man who does not qualify if except for disabilities ought not to live in this country. He has no business in the land of the brave and the home of the free. In this country we believe in a democratic form of government. The Bible teaches that we should take a place in human government. It teaches the correct principles of life. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. "Prayer is the real preparation for Bible study." On the matter of the Bible class teacher's preparation of the lesson he expressed the opinion that the superintendents of the various schools should examine their teachers on Sunday morning from 9:00 to 9:15 to see if they are prepared to teach the lesson. "Sunday School teachers should be able to approach their classes without lesson helps," he emphasized. "This book expresses God's will. It is a spiritual book and he who would undertand it must be spiritually inclined. The Bible is God's progressive revelation and it teaches us the way of salvation." GLEE CLUBS A FEATURE. The financial report of the evening toalled $118.41. The musical renditions were highly entertaining features of the meeting. "Elijah as Carmel" by the Excell Club; "The Close of the Day" by the Sabbath Glee Club; and "Beyond the Horizon" by the Metronic Glee Club received loud and well-deserved praise. Mr. William I. Hopkins delivered with telling effect the best short address of his brigittian career in local Sunday School work. Rev. S. C. Burrell, D. D. conducted the devotional, assisted by Rev. James S. PRICE, FIVE CENTS WALTER L. CUSTOM T NEW LA. Claiming Ne- and Cannot with Amend- Attorney ction. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.—An action in equity to remove Walter L. Cohen, Controller of Customs here, in which the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment is questioned, was filed in the United States District Court here this morning by H. Edwin Bote, an attorney of Washington, D. C., as "a citizen of the United States." He was accompanied by Carl E. McKenery of Lynchburg. The Federal Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Mr. Burns said that within the twenty days allowed for answer he would file a motion to dismiss the suit. Bolte sets forth that the Fourteenth Amendment was never legally dopted and that its promulgation was equivocal. He seeks Cohen's removal on the ground that he is a Negro, and being of African blood and descent is not a citizen of the United States and therefore cannot hold office under the Government. Bolte issued a statement denying that he is "writing a book for the Ku Klux Klan" and that he has been debarred from practice before the District of Columbia courts. He said his license to practice had been rescinded. Controller Cohen, who went to Bacon Rouge on personal business, said he did not take the matter seriously. James Weidon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People yesterday telegraphed to Controller of Customs Walter L. Cohen, of the Port of New Orleans, offering the association's aid in fighting the suit, which would deprive him of his office. Hatcher, D. D. Brief addresses were made by Messrs. Isaiah H. Taylor, R. C. Mitchell, W. P. Bur, rell and Rev. Hatcher. The meeting was under the auspices of the Richmond Sunday School Union, J. L. Ballard, president. Mr. George T. Walker served as master of ceremonies.

This provisional donation, coming along after the Jeannes-Slater and Phelps Stokes funds, in behalf of the education of Negroes, is an encouraging sign of the greater awakening of sincere Americans to the fact that into the melting pot of America's educational advancement there permanently reposs the future of America's black masses. The effect of this donation will be far-reaching: First, it will undoubtedly stimulate the respect which the North has had for the Negro products of southern educational institutions; and second, the lethargy which has prevailed in southern States towards the educational advancement of their Negro boys and girls, will give away in some degree at least to a broader spirit of fairness in the granting of appropriations. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Princip. of Tuskegee Institute, has already called our attention to the fact that during the last ten years North Carolina has increased its appropriations for Negro education by $750,000. But in his own State, Alabama, as well as in Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, and, in fact in the majority of the southern State, appropriations have been scanty, and the education of Negro children has been looked upon by the whites as something which should be laid upon the table. The Rockefeller donation, however, should be an eye-organer to such organizations as the Southern Commission on Race Relations, and various church educational boards, and the committees on education in the State Legislatures. Too, it should be used as a lever by the colored people of the South in calling attention, in a vigorous way, to the needs of their sons and daughters. Then will Negro migration continue, and the races disgorge from their systems much of the misunderstanding and prejudice so prevalent in the Southland. "A nation half slave and half free cannot endure." And this truth applies equally well to education as it does to civic freedom; for the child of today is the man or woman of tomorrow. Two congressional experiments are in the bud in New York and in Chicago, in candidacy of Dr. Charles Roberts, the genial Harlem dentist, who will run for Congress on the Republican ticket against the present Democratic incumbent, Royal H. Weller; and in the candidacy of Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, who is running on the "Third Party" ticket against Martin B. Madden, Republican Congressman from the First District, Chicago, Illinois. In these experiments there will be tested whether or not a Negro, can, as yet, be returned to the Halls of Congress. The two candidacies present an entirely different complexion. In New York, the Republican machine is squarely behind Dr. Roberts, who, however, faces a man who defeated the well-known Martin C. Ansorge, white, an avowed friend of the Negro. It was Ansorge who named a colored boy to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, and this act, it is said, cost him many white votes at the 1922 election. Roberts, formerly an alderman in New York City, is as fine a type of Republican as can be found. He has always stood with the G. O. P. machine, in sickness and in death; and has been crushed to political earth only to rise again. Nevertheless, Harlem is overflowing with Democrats. Already James McClendon, Assistant District Attorney, John William Smith, who defeated George Harris for aldermanship, and other prominent Negro Democrats of Haulem, in which memories of the late Frank Wheaton, a political favorite of Tammany Hall, are referred, wield tremendous influence through, and are beloved by, the Democratic Party. Consequently, Roberts will have the fight of his life in pulling through. In Chicago, too, where the Democratic Party is gaining weight among the BRETHREN, there is a slight inclination to drift toward that party. Running on the third party ticket, however, Attorney Watkins, who is well remembered because of his many legal victories in behalf of race matters, will have a hard time. Despite the fact that the labor vote, especially among Chicago Negroes, will show a turn toward the third party, Mr. Madden is well entrenched in the hearts of his Negro constituency; and if inroads are made by the third party movement upon the vote of the two older parties, it is thought that the greatest defection will come from the Democratic side. Thus Watkins' chances are not any too favorable. At any rate, the experiments will bear watching; and if Dr. Roberts can push his way through upon the Roosevelt wave, it will be a grand victory for him, for the Party, and for the Race. Secret consternation is reigning around the world on account of the alleged facts revealed by the recent census of South Africa, which shows that native whites are decreasing on the dark continent. The census statisticians go on to show that the next twenty-five years will probably decide, once and for all, whether the white race is to have any part in the ultimate development of South Africa, or is to be crowded out by the native Negro population. They gloomily say: "If additions from abroad continue to fail in the ranks of the whites, the latter must abandon forever the prospect of maintaining their civilization in South Africa, except as a diminishing minority, and the whites may then be forced to abandon the TUSKEGEE AND HAMPTON BENEFICIARIES. What is said to be the largest gift of education is that just announced by the which is pledged half a million dollar Tuskegee Institutes, provided the so within the next three years.

(More Gloom) This reminds us of a brief conversation we had some time ago with an African prince who was in tears over his inability so break a 99-year lease which a British Company had upon his father's lands. Palm oils and mahogany wood, he said, were being taken by the promoting company in a highly profitable way. This was but one of the many instances of the advantage which the civilized whites have taken of the uncivilized blacks in certain parts of South Africa, and something must be wrong in Denmark if the former are now beginning to worry over their decreasing numbers. Either the palm oils and mahogany wood have become exhausted or they are so plentiful that they cannot be marketed in a 99-year period. This reminds us of a brief convers- ago with an African prince who was so break a 99-year lease which a Brit his father's lands. Palm oils and m were being taken by the promoting fitable way. This was but one of the advantage which the civilized whites illized blacks in certain parts of South must be wrong in Denmark if the fo to worry over their decreasing number and mahogany wood have become a plentiful that they cannot be marketed.

These forces would indeed make an "addition from abroad" and would, perhaps, bring about the condition concerning which the census-takers are singing the "blues." This, though, is an unbelievable possibility, and we would sincerely suggest that the statisticians be not unduly alarmed. Economic wealth is a diamond in the eyes of white promoters, and so long as there is a "pound of flesh" in South Africa which will stand the test of legal inquiry, it is to be doubted that any permanent decrease in the white population of that fertile country will be noted. "HOME-MADE" HOMES Believe it or not, there are 101 N demonstration agents in the United Believe it or not, there are 101 Negro county farm and home demonstration agents in the United States. Under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the various State agricultural colleges of the Southern States, they sally forth into the highlands and the lowlands and give practical demonstrations in food preparation, sanitation, farmstead improvement, home industries, and community development, in an effort to lift the farm home up to a high plane of efficiency and comfort. The male agents can show you how to till your sacred soil and increase its productivity. To them, also, the rearing of cows, pigs and chickens is a science. And the gentle female agents take keen delight in developing home tastes. As adjunct arts they re not too stuff to give out friendly dints in needlecraft, or to show you what might cure the baby's colic. Special attention has just been called to Mrs. Amanda H. Hunter, of Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, the first Negro woman agent employed in co-operative extension service to spread the practice of better home-making among Negro farm women. Mrs. Hunter, who began her official tasks in 1912, is still functioning, and mighty is she in the affections of the Negro farm women of her district. Of equal celebrity are the agents in other southern farm States, and so high has been their-efficiency that last fall a delegation of agents was summoned to Washington by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, who gave them personal commendation for their excellent work. The way of the Negro farmer and his energetic housewife is far from being a roseate path to agricultural glory. The cry of poverty is still in their vocabulary. Some alleviation was forecast when the Federal Farm Loan Board was established by Congress for the granting of credits to thrifty, honest farmers. These grants, however, have been slow to reach the Negro farmer, who faces even a greater need than his white farm brother. It is to be hoped that in the near future a liberal extension of farms credits will be available to the Negro farmer, and that with this Federal assistance, already pledged by Congress, the "home-made" home will become even more of a reality than it is now. In the meantime, Mrs. Hunter and her one hundred contemporaries are bringing what succor they can to the Negro farmer, who, like every other Negro producer, is an optimist and is cheerily awaiting the dawn of a brighter tomorrow for himself and for the things he is zealously endeavoring to accomplish.

GOOD ADVICE at times is a scarce article. SOME PEOPLE climb up slowly sound climb down quickly. WHITE FRIENDS are valuable assets and white enemies are most dangerous liabilities. SOME PEOPLE are not only false each other, but they are not even true to themselves. SOME PEOPLE cannot stand too much praise and some others cannot stand any criticism. SOMETIMES everything goes wrong, just as all some other times everything seems to go right. WE TRUST God more the older we get and we are more convinced that He rules in the affairs of men. ABUSING people will not get you anywhere and with some of them, praising will not get you anywhere either. WE THANK our friends for aiding us. Some pay their bills with no comment. In all such cases, the money talks. WHEN the grave catches you, all of your troubles are over and the most of us prefer to have our troubles with us. JOY AND SORROW are always with us. They change places sometimes, one being before and the other behind. TRIALS and tribulations are for us all, but at times, it is exceedingly difficult to keep cool under the most aggravating circumstances. MARCUS GARVEY wants one hundred thousand dollars to purchase a ship. It will be necessary to give him five hundred thousand dollars to operate it. Then he will be in a position to earn a dividend upon his venture. DR. W. E. B. DUBOIS does no seem to be maintaining his usual equipoise and he is becoming radically radical. In this respect alone, although along opposing angles, he may be likened to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. IT IS PLAINLY evident that the suit against Hon. Walter L. Cohen, Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, upon the ground that he is illegally holding that office inasmuch as the War Amendments were unconstitutionally adopted, was fired wholly and solely for political effect. Such a movement will undoubtedly react with disastrous effect upon its promoters. If the amendment granting colored people the right to vote was unconstitutional, by the same line of reasoning the amendment abolishing slavery was unconstitutional also. DR.

GOP MAY LOSE NEGRO GOP MAY LOSE NEGRO (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Davis was a vigorous and successful foe of "Jim Crow" legislation in West Virginia. Mr. Davis in his address of acceptance, announced his appointments to Federal office would not be influenced by race or creed. In response to letters by prominent Negroes inquiring whether he meant "color" when he said "race" he replied he had meant just what he had said. The Negroes took that to be all inclusive as to race. The Republican Congress failed to enact the Dyer antiflanching bill and gave every evidence of having no greater sincerity than of having made a political gesture to "fool" the Negro. President Coolidge has failed in the face of a public challenge to denounce the Ku Klux Klan by name as both Mr. Davis and Senator La Follette have done. The active support of W. H. Lewis is for Mr. Davis is important because Lewis is held in high esteem as the member of the race to achieve the highest public office over accorded to 1. That situation existing among the Negroes of Baltimore is regarded here as having been the primary cause of the banquet tendered a group of Negro editors in New York recently. The President sent a personal message to that assemblage. The matter becomes significant when it is related that Mayor Jackson obtained from 5,000 to 6,000 Negro votes in the Baltimore mayoralty contest of 1923 and Governor Ritchie polled close to 9,000 in his race. APPEAL FOR THIRD PARTY. Thrown in that unusual prognostication is the fact that La Follette influence in the United States Senate brought about the confirmation of Walter Cohen as collector of customs at the por, of New Orleans, after there had been an adverse vote on it. Prominent Negro leaders since have been appealing for support for the third party ticket. The fact that the Senator from Wisconsin was the first to denounce the Klan in unsparing firms is being cited toure Negro votes from Republican regularity. William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addressed the La Follette convention at Cleveland. He said a meeting of the association held in Philadelphia a few days before had voted to throw its influence to the independent ticket. He said in that address the "enlightened colored people" had lost faith in the promises of the Republican party. FULTON NOTES. We certainly welcome the return of our pastor, the Rev. C. A.

Prof. Halburton is the principal of the public school at THE BIOHMOND PLANET, BIOHMOND, VIRGINIA Warm Springs, Va. The Spirit of the Master seems to fill the heart of every member of Zion and judging from the way the church accepted the pastor's plans and outline of work for the coming season the congregation is eager and willing to continue its march toward the goal. Every member and friend is asked to do his or her best in the forth coming rally on the fourth Sunday in this month. Let each one give as the Lord has prospered them. During the pastor's absence the S. S. presented the church with a handsome runner for the lecture room. We are indeed proud of our school and the splendid work it is doing. Our Men's Bible Class is growing. We continue to call for the young men that they may come and go with us. Communion tomorrow at 3:30.

A large majority of the Folds were represented and keen interest was manifested in the proceedings from start to finish. Chairman McClalborne left no stone unturned in his endeavor to put pep into the meeting. The newly elected Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stakes was introduced by him and made a wonderful address. She stressed the importance of unity of action on the part of all the members of the Order. This was necessary, she said, "If we are to build a strong lasting, and enduring institution. Warm and cordial expressions were made by the following: Revs. W. L. Godsey, J. T. Anderson of Clarks Inviable Fold; Mrs. Barbara Jenkins and Deputy Delia Pope, of Mattie's Fold; Mrs. Mary Cousin, our Grand Recording Secretary of St. Elizabeth Fold and also Mrs. Mary Morgan of the same Fold; Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Robinson of Roan's Fold; Mr. Garrett Flemming of Garrett's Fold; Mr. A. L. Woolfolk of Thomas Diamond Fold; Director E. T. Jenkins and Deputy Mary Thomas of Wm. H. Stokes Fold; Mr. John T. Brown of Dunbar Fold. Every one pledged his unlimited support to the Grand Shepherd in placing the Order in the front ranks of Fraternities. A large number of new members were taken in at this meeting which indicted Richmond would go over the top in this membership drive. We received the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. Lillie Crawford of Nelly's Fold and Mr. B. F. Yancey, Jr. the son of Mrs. H. A. Yancey. Our sympathy goes out to the members of both of these families in this sad hour of bereavement. Mrs. M. W. Garland of Mantoe is now in the State of West Virginia, perfecting plans for a great membership harvest which will be reaped in the next ninety days from that State. Let every member of the Order in West Virginia rally to her support in this drive. St. Rita's Fold held a very interesting meeting on the fourth Friday night, in October, 108 W. Clay St. The reports of the delegates were highly enforced by all of the members. Director Charles McClaiborne Mrs. Martha Morris and Mrs. Edna Gibbs need to be commended for the splendid reports submitted. Two new members were taken in at this meeting, one of which was secured by the Grand Secretary Treasurer. Roan's Fold held a wide awake meeting on the first Thursday in this month. A number of new candidates were taken in at this meeting which were obligated by Mr. George L. Juhans, The Grand Secretary was present and addressed the Fold. BETHEL A. M. E.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.

Lay Joint Session (Continued from last week) At the opening of the afternoon session, Dr. J. C. Jackson, of Connecticut presided. The Rev. J. D. Kent and Dr. P. L. Harrod conducted devotionals. After enrollment the Woman's Auxiliary held a joint session with the men, presided over by Mrs. Edna Strickland, vice-president at large of the Women's Auxiliary Convention. Mrs. C. R. McDowell, of Missouri led "Praise God I'm Satisfied," after which Mrs. Triplett, of Philadelphia, presented Mrs. W. S. Layon, president of the convention of women to deliver her twenty fourth annual address. She was given an ovation. She touched every phase of the work of the women and said some good things of interest not a bane to women, but the whole denomination. Following her address, she was reelected for another year and on suspension of the rules Mrs. Edna Strickland was reelected vice president at large and Mrs. C. R. McDowell was reelected second vice president. PRESIDENT WILLIAMS' ADDRESS At this point six thousand people' standing sang, "Star Spangled Banner," following which Dr L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention was presented to deliver his annual address. He was given an enthusiastic ovation. In his address, he touched every department of the National Baptist Convention and concluded by saying something on the conditions at the present. He was mindful not alone of the Baptists, but the race, and offered some good suggestions that could be followed by all. He expressed his wish for a united Baptist family, where all could walk together and put over the great program that must be put over for the advancement of the race. He said that God had a great work for the Negro Baptists of America to do... Dr. Williams spoke of the open door in the West as a possible and HIS BUSY SEASON MARK YOUR CHOICE, UNCLE. STRAW VOTE COOLIDGE DAVIS LAFOLLETTE HERES MY VOTE OL TIMER! SATTERFIELD AUTOCASTER ever, leaders in all pars frankly admit that there are many States in which Coolidge registers a slight popular vote lead, that are absolutely in the doubtful column. Ohio, for instance, is so close that it can swing either way. Likewise Oklahoma, Iowa, Colorado and New Jersey.

The Literary Digest poll up until September 16, with thirteen States ISTS H ING IN Williams Make Blyton, President of Great Sermon inviting field for the expansion of racial and denominational activities. He spoke of the cooperation between the Southern Baptist Convention and the National, and then he spoke of the plan of cooperation with the Northern Baptist Convention, its success and its working today. MUST GET THE MASSES. In speaking of the work of the Home Mission Board, he said, "We must get the masses on the streets that we cannot get into our churches. If we will see the masses on the street, we will soon see them in our churches." Perhaps nothing in the address claimed more attention than that of the Sunday School Publishing Board. He took up the history of the Board giving information much desired by the members of the convention—in fact by the country. He spoke of the old publishing board, and the technicalities which prevented the convention from controlling it, and which was wrenched from the hands of the convention by a court decision. "Our new publishing house," he said, "will afford industrial opportunities for our trained young people. It will vindicate our contention for convention ownership and control. It will make possible the making out of our own case and the transmission of our race psychology" TRIBUTE TO BOARDS Dr. Williams spoke of the B. Y. P. U. Board as a great training center for the young Baptist people, which was carried on under the veteran secretary, E. W. D. Isaac. Then he turned attention to the baby, the Beautif Board, under Prof. W. H. Holloway, of Helena, Ark Dr. Williams called attention to the Educational Board, under Dr. J. B. Green, and wanted that it should succeed. He said that the completion of the first unit of the National Baptist Theological Seminary would heard from, gave Coolidge 162,473; Davis, 42,611, and La Follette, 63- 524—the total vote cast at that time was 272,299. The Hearst poll up to October 1 showed Coolidge, 98,855; La Follette, 98,430; and Davis, 47,591. Coolidge's lead over La Follette in eighteen of the largest cities in the nation was only 425. The Chicago Tribune poll taken in Chicago shows La Follette leading Coolidge. TWELVE STATES YET TO BE HEARD FROM.

He spoke of the work of the National Baptist Voice, its place in the defi- nation work, the work of Dr. L. G. Jordan, the historographer and he encouraged the official. He paid a glowing tribute to the Women's Auxiliary Convention and cook up with care the National Training School at Washington. Concluding his address Dr. Williams took up the Negro's place in American life, which was the occasion for outbursts of applauses. The convention was loud in praising the wonderfulus Rev. W. H. Young, of Kansas, dis cussed the motto topic, "The Conquering Christ—In International Relations." The evening sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. C. A. Ward of Boston, Mass., who used as his theme, "The Conquering Christ." The plan of the sermon was well and scientifically laid. He told how man had made vain efforts to conquer the world. They had subdued physical body, but the strong hold of human forces remained untouched. He said that Jesus was destined the world conqueror because he is to direct the thought, control the affections and the wills of men, without which, there could be no actual conquest.

Hildale cracked wide open in the sixth, and three hits, five errors, of which Cockrell donated three, and a walk, gave the Monarchs five runs and the game. A spectacular circus catch by G.

RIGHT This Week By Arthur Brisbane FOR PRESIDENT COOLIDGE. AND THOSE THAT PAY. 2,000 FIGHTING PLANES. FOR ONE DREADNAUGHT. President Coolidge recalled Secretary Wilbur, of the Navy, to Washington to discuss with him "the relative value of battleships and flying machines in war." This means, of course, that the President will LISTEN to others, and TAKE COUNSEL with himself. It means that, with all his work, he has found time for the serious problems of air defense, and does not intend to keep this country among the backward nations, as regards real preparation. Facts alone will influence the President, and they are not lacking. For instance: One battleship of dreadnaught class cost forty-five million dollars. For that sum the nation could build and mobilize TWO THOUSAND FIGHTING AIRPLANES. Does the President or any other sane man ask what chance a battleship would have against 2,000 fighting air machines dropping TNT from the clouds? The French have come through a real war, with invasion to the gory gates of Paris, millions killed, her millions wounded. THEY know something about fighting. What has France done to prepare against danger across her border? France has a first line of air defense, consisting of two thousand fighting air machines, with reserve of two thousand more. And that fighting French air fleet is what makes England, with all her lumbering battleships, miners, etc., the world's greatest battle fleet," so pitifully polite France. She will continue to molite until she can dominate the air, as she used to dominate the sea. The two thousand first line fighting planes that spell security for France, cost, in Europe, less than half the cost of one first-class dreadnaught here. No wonder France insists that Germany shall build no fighting planes. We continue spending millions on big guns and ammunition for practice. They also will soon be classed among museum equities, used to make a loud noise in the Presidential salute, or tinkle the vanity of some admired returning to his ship. A sixteen-inch gun caps as much as two fighting airplanes. It lasts only long enough to take one hundred and twenty shots. Then it is burnt-out scrap iron. The life of a fighting plane, costing half as much as a single big gun, is equal to that of an ordinary forty-five million dreadnaught. Mr. W. J. Davin, of San Diego, earnest advocate of air defense, says truly, "The nation foremost in the air will win the next war at the drop of the bomb, and before the world wakes up the next morning amid the fumes of phosphorus or of bombs of some other kind, if it does wake up at all, the war will have been won." Battleships, besides being obsolete, are frightfully expensive, soon out of date, worthless in peace. Flying machines, enough of them to make this nation safe against attack by sea or land, could be built without burdensome taxation, kept up with slight expense, and they would pay their way in peace, twice over, in the mail service, and in spying out forest fires. --- Before this country faces a new war—it won't come, while they are all borrowing from us—the range of fliers and submarines will be as great as that of any floating vessel. The submarines will go as fast as any cruiser and the fliers, of course, twenty times as fast as any fighting ship affloat. These suggestions are submitted to the President, who will decide what shall be done, and to the people of this country. They will pay the bills in money, which is not important, and in blood, which is important, if a fatal mistake be made in our use of defense. What you see here is printed in several hundred daily newspapers, including the Herald of Washington, D. C., where those in office may see it, and in several thousand weekly newspapers, read in millions of country homes. --- PRIVATE SCHOOL for CHILDREN A private school for children under religious influence and competent instructors, Night Classes for Adults.
