This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JP THE RICHMOND PLANET MOB KILLED WRONG MAN, GIRLS FEAR. TWO CHICAGO GIRLS FAIL TO IDENTIFY MAN BEATEN TO DEATH WITH A BAT. Friends Claim Innocence.-Police Hunt Suspects and Act to Prevent Race War. MAY 17, 1923 VOLUME XLI, NO. 48 MOB K WRO TWO CH TO IDENT TO DEA Friends Cl Hunt Su Prev NEW YORK, October 10.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today found and clipped a specimen of "the usual crime" newspaper story from the New York World. The story with its headlines, narrates "the usual crime", as committed by an American mob: Chicago, October 9.—The mob that beat to death William Bell, a negro, early this morning as 14th and Miller streets in the heart of the West Side "bad lands", in the belief that he attempted to assault two young white girls, probably killed the wrong man. The police say the girls, Betty Deutsch and Bertha Greenblatt, stenographers, have failed to identify Bell. The girls were on their way home after midnight. In front of the Deutsch home at No. 1357 Miller street they paused to chat. A Negro ran up and said, according to Miss Deutsch, "Come across the street. I have lots of money and an automobile." The girls shrank back, the man seized Miss Deutsch by the arm and shoulder and started to drag her across the street, they declared. Both screamed. A dozen men in a nearby sacramental wine shop heard the screams and ran to the scene. When the crowd arrived they found Bell. He was knocked down and beaten to death with a baseball bat. Thomas Clark and Albert Harper, Negroes, said they were with Bell walking past the Deutsch home when they heard the girls' scream and saw a man run away. They ran too, but Bell stood his ground. They saw him surrounded and killed. The girls could not identify Bell, but sali he wore a coat and has like the man who accosted them Otto Epstein, who is connected with the wine shop, is under arrest as the wielder of the bat. He denies it but Harper and Thomas accuse him. Mayor Dever deplored the killing of Bell and promised to bring the slayers to justice. Hundreds of police have been sent into the Negro district to prevent race riots. As a commentary upon the above story, the N. A. A. C. P. made public the following telegram received from Morris Lewis Secretary of the Chicago Branch of the Asso ciation: "Lynched wrong man. Girls were stopped by two white men in Ford automobile. One crossed street to wine shop and reported to gang there. Bell, a laborer on way home (was) accosted by white man de manding what he was doing talking to those women. Was ignorant of incident. Without warning was set upon, beaten with baseball bat and trampled. Maxwell district noted for race disturbances and police in different." BISHOP CHARGES KLAN RULES G. O. P. NORTH (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, October 16.—Declaring that the Republican Party "has now been taken over bodily by the klan in the North and that" "alone among the three candidates Mr. Coolidge has refused to open his lips on the subject of the klan." Bishop John Hurs) of the A. M. E. Church, in a statement a few days ago urged all Negroes to support La Follette and Wheeler. "Whatever Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate, may state as to his personal position on the klan, no sensible colored man will imagine for a momen) that he can in any sense wipe out or offset his party's record." Bishop Hurst continued, "as for the Republican party, 60 years ago the party of Abraham Lincoln, it has now been taken over bodily by the klan in the North. It is openly the klan party in at least a dozen northern States. La Follette, on the other hand, is the only candidate who has come out vigorously against the klan in words that no one can mistake. "The Progressives are pledged to the withdrawal of our occupation forces from Haiti. Mr. La Follette has fought vigorously against this infamous crime. In every way and from every standpoint, the progressive movement opens the door of hope to the colored American as at no time in a generation." I. GARLAND PENN CORRECTS. Following newspaper reports that Bishop Hurst, of the M. E. Church, had declared for La Follette, Dr. L. Garland Penn, one of the educational secretaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church, immediately issued a statement that Bishop Hurst was not a Bishop in the M. E., but the M. E. and he further stated that leading churchmen of the race in his denomination were solidly behind President Coolidge. WANTED—A GIRL OR WOMAN for General Housework. $10.00 a week.

Save perishing, sin-infested Richmond; for this is the task to which our commission points very definitely. Let the members of all the churches open your homes, one in each little, community not cottage prayer meeting every evening for at least one week before the 26th.

Dandridge, who fell asleep in Jesus, October 14, 1923: It was one year ago, On a Sunday afternoon When the Silent Reaper took our loved one And left our lives in gloom. Both sad and sudden was father's call: His sudden death surprised us all, He was a husband true, yes, a father kind; Oh, the memory sweet he leaves ..behind.

S. Constitution is invalid, and that, consequently, Hon. Walter L. Cohen, HardingCoolidge appointee to the post of Comptroller of Customs at the port of New Orleans, is not a citizen of the United States and cannot lawfully hold Federal office, an ingenious but unlearned and unethical southern attorney is said to have filed ouster proceedings against Mr. Cohen. If this report be true, it marks the height of folly and the acme of disabuse of the time-honored law of this land. It shows at what unwholesome straws the drowning exponents of racial prejudice will grasp. Let us lift the veil for a moment. When the torture chambers, special punishments, and concentrated legal afflictions practiced upon Negroes in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and their sister States, were legally banished by the U. S. Supreme Court, upon the ground of discrimination under the Fourteenth Amendment, the South rocked and reeled in economic- and civic waste and disorder. When President Grant suspended the writ of habeas corpus and sent Federal troops into South Carolina to quell the night riders, the South began a slow retaliation by the enactment of special State statutes designed to defeat the aims of its free Negro citizenship. When economic sleeping sickness overcame agriculturists of the South, who, when they could not compel Negro labor to work longer for 25 cents a day, they sought to threaten them into starvation. When Negro troops journeyed to France as a protectorate of America,—which includes the Solid South,—the southern human peninsula tried hard to partake of all the advantages of such protection without yielding one whit of benefit to its black protectionists. And now it is grasping at the last straw, by saying that the Negro is not a citizen of the United States. If the Negro had not been a citizen since the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, what, in the name of Jehovah, would have become of the Solid South? It would truly have been reeking in sack-cloth and ashes, for even the little which it had would have been taken by economic pressure or submerged in a palor of laziness. As to Justice, Equity and judicial cloture, the case of Mr. Cohen' opponent is weaker, in punity, than a one per cent solution of water. The Interstate Commerce Commission, established by Congress in 1887, and existing under and by virtue of the commerce clause of the U. S. Constitution recently ordered an inquiry into interstate class rates between points in various trunk line territories of the United States. As you know, gentle reader, shippers of commodities are very jealous over their margin of profits, a large part of which is dependent upon the rates which the railroad company is able to give under rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission. A two-cent difference per hundred pounds on anything, from peanut butter to cattle on the hoof, may bankrupt one shipper and place another shipper upon financial beds of ease. All of which reminds us that this same Commission which orders rate inquiries and keeps shippers on a fifty-fifty basis with each other, has equal authority to inquire into differences in car equipment and comfort. In other words, there's not a single thing in the whole wide world to stop the Interstate Commerce Commission from taking a survey of the Jim-Crow car equipment being used for interstate passengers of color, and seeing that it is just as fine as any other railway equipment. Of course, personally, we know that there's a difference—such a difference—but we know, too, that the railway companies would pay no attention to our word. But they would pay attention to the mandate of the Interstate Commission. When Bishop Gaines, Edwards, and others invoked the law and went before the Commission many years ago, seeking Federal adjustment of interstate equipment furnished Negro passengers, they performed a great service to the Race. Far be it from us to be thought of as desiring to stir up litigation. Yet, a word to the wise ought to be sufficient, and grievances against the attitude of the southern railways who discriminate against colored interstate passengers in the matter of equipment should be made the subject of judicial inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission. How do we know? The United States Constitution told us so. Within the past decade no factor of Negro growth has marked a greater stride forward than has the Negro Press. The journalistic infant of yesterday is nearly full-grown today, and the reading public is being served weekly, and, in fact daily by Negro newspapers, magazines and bulletins financed by Negro capital, made-up and set-up by Negro printers and linotypers, and put on the streets and into the mails from Negro publishing houses, manned with up-to-date equipment and supplied with material gathered by skilled Negro reporters. In fact, the 81 printers' and bookbinders' apprentices; 78 electrotypers, stereotypers and lithographers; 1,244 printing and publishing laborers; 1,595 semi-skilled printing and publishing operatives; and the 101 pressmen and plate printers, to say nothing of the linotypers, make-up and lay-out men, working upon Negro presses, and the many feature story writers, reporters and operatives working upon some of America's most famous white presses, prove that the Negro journalistic venture has taken a broad leap within the past few years.

At the time of his remarks, it is said that the good minister was studying the work of the Committee on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Just a few weeks previous one of the secretaries of the Committee on Race Relations was quoted in the Chattanooga Times (white) as praising the Race's progress in Africa and making a strong inference that America's Negro leaders would find a fine field of opportunity in dark Africa. The proponent went on to suggest that there was an implied duty a la Garvey to work out interracial relations in America from an African supply base. However, now comes Dr. Kidwell with a bit of cold water. The only reciprocal wave of thought is his desire to see the "principles and methods of the Committee on Race Relations applied around the world."

ASSET OR LIABILITY—WHICH? IT IS EVIDENT that the question as to whether the Negro is an asset or a liability to the Republican party is rapidly approaching an acute stage and that the "illywhite" element within that organization has taken the affirmative side of the proposition. The attitude of the Republican management as well as that of the Republican candidates seems to be one of benevolent neutrality. The Democratic managers have quickly taken advantage of this unique situation by making an appeal for the Negro vote, in localities where a few thousand votes will decide the election. As a result, we note that Negro bureaus have been organized under the skillful management of some of the ablest Negro leaders. The Negro as a political issue in politics has been eliminated and the advantages to be secured by either the one party or the other strenuously announced on the hustings. publican party more by the votes lost than it will by the and Negro votes galned? The "Lilly-white" contend that it will not, while the "old line" Republicans contend that it will. In the meantime basic, fundamental principles, so far as the Republican party is concerned seem to be ignored or forgotten. That there is a revolutionary aspect with regard to the Negro vote is plainly evident and that this resentment will have a widespread effect upon the Republican party is a foregone conclusion. While many colored people are standing by the old landmarks of Republicanism, many are also casing their lots under the banner of Hon. John W. Davis and Hon. Robert M. La Follette. "Let them go!" say Col. Henry W. Anderson and Hon. C. Bascom Slemp. "Let them come!" say Hon. John W. Davis and Hon. Robert M. La Follette, while Hon. William M. Buller, the Republican manager virtually says, "Don't let too many of you go over yonder, for we may need most of you on election day. It is time that the migratory movement be checked now or the empty seats in the Republican gallery for colored folks will produce a nerve racking slump in the door receipts when the final count takes place.

STATE PETERSBURG, VA., Oct. 11—In a game played by sterling line play and admirable work on the part of the backfield North Carolina State was completely buried under an avalanche of touchdowns and the goals from touchdown. Virginia Normal amassed a total of 241 downs to the visitors' one. Alehough outplayed in every department of the game the visitors put up a game fight. It was simply a good little team agains a good big team. Carrington at quarter for the visitors excelled. The entire N. V. I.

Walker) ATLANTA, GA, October 11—The Atlanta University Crimson Hurricane initiated its 1924 football schedule with a victory over Uver 'Sams' boys from Camp Benning here to day, 25-20, in a game which furnished the Atlanta coaches with information which will probably revamp the Hurricane offense before the Conference meeting with Talladega next Saturday. The Atlanta eleven felt the pang of injuries to Red Lang, star end; Montgomery, veteran guard and Lamar, All-American tackle, which will probably prevent them from starting in Saturday's encounter. Collum, McPherson, Green and De Lorme played brilliant ball on the offense for Atlanta, while Williams and Steward were the outstanding stars for the soldier boys. A. Williams, Riley and Walker shone on the defense for the Crimson Hurricane. Champi The Washingto ALABAMA STATE OUT- CLASSES SELMA (H. Council Trenholm) MONTGOMERY, ALA, October 10 Playing the opening game of the season, the Alabama State Normal Tigers troubled the Selma University eleven here today by a score of 20 0 before a crowd of spectators numbering more than a thousand. Alabama State used two full teams with frequent change of men because of the excessive heat. Earning 15 first downs while holding Selma to a mere three the Tiger backfield was featured by the work of Wallace Rufus Lewis, Bob Johnson and Bailey. Captain Hall was shifted to ♫ the backfield for single plays that netted a touchdown and 30 yards, while Underwood came back from end to make a twenty yard dash. Out of 15 aerial attempts by both teams, Alabama State completed two passes and Selma one. The Selma aggregation showed good defensive training, Hardy and Fitts at ends and -Magsby at full being the sArs. Craig at quarter, did most of the ground gaining for the visitors. VA. SEMINARY MAKING STRONG BID FOR THE C.I.A.A.TITLE Virginia Seminary won the opening game in her season's schedule by crushing Charlottesville A. C. 65.0. Charlottesville played a much stronger game than the score would indicate; broke up seven of Seminary's attempted forward passes, but could not withstand the heavy consistent bombarding of Capt. Lanier and Governor Brown, nor could she stop the sweeping end runs of Holland, Perry and Edley. Seminary is out for vengeance this year and with everybody behind the coaches will be a stumbling block in any team's path aspiring for the C. I. A. A. Championship this year. On October 4th Virginia Seminary won her second game in her march toward the much coveted C. I. A. A. Championship. Johnson C. Smith (Biddle) eleven was defeated by the scor of 25-0. Biddle out played Seminary in the first half, making more first downs but failed to fathom Seminary's forward pass system. In the second half of the game the dragons had been given instructions to hit the line low and hard and this proved deadly to Biddle. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA UNION PANTHERS AND A. AND T. TIE Greensboro, N. C. Oct. 13 — Veritably taking the strong A. and T. eleven by surprise with a concentrated attack, the famous champion Va. Union University Panther machine invaded the Old North State Saturday and scored a touchdown on their client rivals before ten minutes of a hectic grid struggle had been played. The A. and T. combination tailed in the second quarter when their heavy lumbering backs continuously plunged the line to a touchdown. Both teams failed to make extra points and the score of one of the hardest fought battles ever played on the A's field ended 6:46. Proud of their scoreless tie with “Doc” Morrison's Blue and White machine the N. C. eleven never dreamed of being scored on in the first quarter by their lighter-weight opponents, but Cain, Union's new quarterback, hit 2 yards for a touchdown after Shields, the half sensation, had advanced the pigskin to scoring distance. The hard-hitting Moton created the first thrill by making a sensational 65 yard run from kickoff, skirting the right side of the field cleverly and feely. Continuous end gains by Shields, Moton, Hoffman and Cain were offset by many and seemingly unwarranted penalties, Union was penalized 95 yards to A, and T's 5. The work of Barksdale on the offense and defense was superb; Capt. Corrothers flashed brilliantly and Houston was a real menace to his opponents. A perfect pass, Cain to W. H. Jackson was completed and Union's new enq made 35 yard gain. Cain's 20' yard run was thrilling. Lightfoot also played a good game.

NORFOLK, VA., October 18—The entire Tidewater section is preparing to celebrate Monday, October 27 as a gala day on account of the Lincoln Union game. The probable outcome of this battle is causing no little comment among the numerous football fans of this vicinity. Both teams will be well supported due to the large number of students attending both schools from this section, and to the large number of followers that will accompany each squad to Norfolk. Nothing is being left undone that will assist in the least in making this affair one of the greatest of the season Returns up to October 10 The last year's champions are determined to again win the coveted pigskin honor, while the Quaker lads have a hunch that this is surely their year of arrival at the promised site. At any race, many of the wise ones are beginning to say that as goes the Tidewater Classic, so goes the championship for 1924. Many are of the opinion that the team coming out victorious in the approaching encounter will have confidence and stamina enough to repel any attack during the remainder of the season.

PAUL—HOWARD GAME IS CANCELLED AS JOHNSON, OF HOWARD, DIES OF INJURIES L WRENCEVILLE, VA., Oct. 16. —The St. Paul-Howard game, a game on which the eyes of the C. I. A. a were focussed, scheduled for the 11, was cancelled because of the death of Johnson, Howard's great end, prominent athlete and brilliant student. His untimely death resulted from injuries sustained in the Howard A. and T. game, the details of which have not been released. St. Paul lamentes Johnson's demise. A gloom was cast over the faculty and students of St. Paul when the sad news was read at evening prayers on Monday the 6th. Football was forgotten and that great spirit of rivalry between Howard University and St. Paul School was relegated to the things of the past as six hundred voices joined in "Amen" at the end of the prayer offered by Rev. J. Alvin Russell, vice-principal, for the bereaved family, Mr. Russell's words of regret and sympathy were keenly felt, particularly by the members of the "Wonder Team" who knew the calibre of the late "Speed" Johnson, out of whose respect the biggest game on the I. A. A. October 11th calendar was cancelled. Don't Fail to See Next Week's Planet. Tabloid Magazine Sallie's Temptations Which Has to do With Married Men. SiX "Go easy with Warren," continued Eiffle, after a moment's contemplation. "that's all I can tell you now," glancing significantly at the maid, who was passing back and forth with towels. Then she closed the door softly, leaving me to wonder what she could possibly have meant by her words of warning. The hop at the Navy Yard was indeed a brilliant affair, with the sparkle and glitter of the officers' uniforms and the gentle frou-frou of soft silks and laces, and over all the fragrance of a hundred perfumes subtly alluring. This was the first important event of the season and there was that noticeable newness about the women's gowns that is always pleasing. Because my frock was imported, and both in color and model extreme, it was the topic of conversation, and even the officers with whom I danced had something to say about its unusual appearance. The red heels too, came in for their share of admiration. There are times in everyone's life, I suppose, when they feel that they are envious of all eyes on certain occasions. I felt that this was my hour and the feeling was distinctly satisfying. To a man, sensationalism brings embarrassment but to feminine beings it means little furters of intense pleasure. "Wonlez vous promenade avec moi ve soir?" sang a voice in my ear and looking up, I recognized Warren Fisher. "A walk?" translating the little French song the boys had sung so much during the war. "I'd be thrilled to death. Two orchestras are very grand but it makes mara-舞 dancers out of us, and after a few hours, even as much as I love dancing, its good to rest one's heels occasionally." "Even if they are red and adorably different?" he retorted as we made our way through the brilliant assemblage. "Shall I get your wrap?" he inquired solicitously as we reached the doorway. "Please don't" I begged, stepping out to the porch. "I want to feel this glorious night. Why, it's positively gentle. Nowhere on earth do they have such Indian summers as we do right here in Florida. Just think" I chatted on, "right at this momen' the theatres are turning out on Broadway and all the women's fur coats are covered with snow flakes." "I don't want to think about Broadway and snow. I want to think about you and the Harvest moon out yonder," looking into my eyes and then out toward the pier that made a fairy pathway through the water. "Let's walk right straight into it," he suggested and arm in arm we started to follow his suggestion. We found a rustic bench and soon faced a semi-dome of star light and a bay that was changed into frivolous moonbeams. "I feel so sorry for you," Warren Fisher began talking. .."Because you can never see your self right as you are this very minute," he replied. "You have no right to be so enchanting. I've watched you all evening." he avowed "the proud turn of your slender shoulders, your fresh, unspoiled enthusiasm. There's a sort of nerve about you that makes you stand out like a vivid tropical flower in a room of piled roses." He caught up my hand but I disengaged it. "Please, don't." I began, and my voice sounded weary. I know. It sounds plaintuous, but after all, there are no new ways to express our real impulses and emotions. It will probably be impossible for me to convince you of the impression you have made on me but now that I have whisked you away from that throng of clamoring suitors. I can at least compel you to listen. "I must tell you that I think you are the most captivating creature I've ever seen and I've traveled the world over. Your little slender wrists, like chiselled marble, your quick repartee, your bright mind like tinder. Oh." he sighed, "you altogether lovely and everything that's desirable." Then raising my hand very tenderly, he turned it over quite deliberately. kissed its palm and folded my fingers together. "Speaking of gifts, Mr. Fisher," I responded drawing away my hand, "you yourself have a very decided one. It is more commonly known as the — gift of GAR!" "See there, you're delicious." he exclaimed. Then we both laughed. It was nice to have him say beautiful things to me and I compared him with Curtis Wright, whose compliments had a pretty turn but were always impersonal. . . I wondered what he was doing and became very angry with myself for giving him a thought. There was a spirit of what the Italians叫 "dolce fariente—a swee, nothingness," in the night and still within my heart, a sense of restlessness. My companion's voice, low and musical broke in upon me. "How I would love to have you with me, away from the beaten track in some of the far away places. To sit with you on a sunlit slope of Lake Garda or," he mused, "to have you with me above Amalfi looking through the flower decked colonnades of some ancient convent at a picture village. Or we might wander thru a certain bazaar in Stamboul with its stuffy odors of musk roses, Dream with me, Adore. I was wafed away with the spell of the night and the canvasses he painted. "Together we could"—he was saying when a foo step fell behind us. "Too bad to break up your little party," said a sarcastic voice, "but even a wife dislikes being entirely disregarded."

My dear Miss Flo:— I had quite a discussion with a friend of mine as to whether or not a girl should propose to a man during Leap Year. What do you think? I would like very much to have your opinion. Thank you. ALICE Well, Alice, as long as you have asked me for my opinion, I'll try to be perfectly honest about it. First of all, why limit it to Leap Year? If a girl has nerve enough to propose during Leap Year, why not do it any year she wan's to? I really don't see why an extra day in the year should make any difference. My opinion is that I would rather die an old maid than propose 'o a man. I have my'doubts as to wheth er or not a man who couldn't do his own proposing would be of much use as a husband. Of course I can argue with myself and ask myself: "Why shouldn't I propose 'o Jack? I know he loves me, and I'm crazy about him. If I work—have a position almost as good as his—if I have equal rights in voting—and have to pay taxes—why shouldn't? I have equal rights in marriage? Why should I lose the man I love because he hasn't the nerve to propose to me, and because being a woman, I can 'propose to him. I don't believe it's fair." Yes, Alire that's logical, but has anyone ever been logical about love? You can go ahead arguing—trying to convince yourself and your friends that you are going to propose to Jack but the Jacks in the world are going to go right ahead doing the proposing—if they want to—and the Alices in the world are going to keep on wondering why they can't do some of the proposing. You see, Alice, where love enters into the game, we forget all about reason and logic, and I don't believe there would be quite as many marriages if we let reason and logic have the right-of-way and forget all about sentiment. Of course, you have to help the man along, because few of them are self starters. But if you do your very best to lead a man up to the point where, by all reasoning, he should propose to you, and he does not. I think the best plan is to look for a better bet. If he hasn't nerve enough to ask the girl he loves to be his wife, I think the girl would be very sorry if she took the responsibility of the marriage on her own shoulders. He wouldn't be much of a success.

EIGHT This Week By Arthur Brisbane DANGEROUS DECISION. THIS THRIFTY COUNTRY. WATCHING TEDDY. NEW OCEAN TO RULE. Laymen, out of respect for the courts, assume that the Supreme Court judges of California interpreted the law accurately when, by a majority of only one, they decided that La Follette's electors, although duly named by petition, should not go on the ballot in November. The people do not like to be told by a judge, or anybody, that they may not vote for their own choice. For a court by a majority of one, in disregard of established custom, to say that State electors are the servants and agents of political conventions, and therefore the people have no right to name their own electors by petition, is DANGEROUS. This California decision will be worth a great deal to those who believe that the public, having power to put judges on the bench, should also have the power to take them off. Louisiana follows California by refusing La Follette electors a place on the ballot. President Coolidge, much to his credit, expresses regret that any American should be forbidden to vote for the man of his choice. The President's statement will be applauded by ninety-nine per cent of American voters. Somebody is saving money in this country, because of higher wages or prohibition, or whatever you choose. Savings deposited in 1923, as revealed at the bankers' convention in Chicago, amounted to more than EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS. While the population of the country increased fourteen per cent, savings banks deposits increased 108 per cent. Business men that put Detroit on the men and Detroit products all over the world; propose to adjust control of the flying machine industry to their automobile industry. Edsel Ford supplies money for airplane research, and puts a flying field near his Dearborn plant at the service of all working on metal airplanes. The Hudson and Packard motor companies are spending money generously in the same direction. All that is good news for those interested in this country's independence of foreign domination. Two thousand years ago the land in Palestine was marvelously fertile, a real earthly paradise. Money would restore the fertility, and strangely enough the money, more than Palestine ever dreamed of in all its glory, may be taken out of the Dead Sea. That great body of intensely salt water is found to be heavily charged with potash. It can be got out simply, at a cost of $5 a ton, and marketed in Europe at $15 a ton, against the now prevailing price of $30. There is a chance for enterprising Americans.

Georges Clemenceau celebrates his eighty-third birthday in his little house on the French coast, looking out on the wild waters where ancient Basques used to catch whales. Clemenceau's health is good, because he is wise. A fighter all his life, he avoids all controversy now. Anger poisons men always, and in old age it kills them. Picking a rose in his garden he says, "I like flowers; they have an advantage over men, they are silent." The average citizen in this country pays less attention to news of the war in China than he would to mention about someone falling off a house. Yet there are 500,000 men lined up for the decisive Chinese battle that is expected. And that is no child's play. The Chinese like the Japanese are building fighting flying machines. Let that be remembered by elderly naval gentlemen doing sweetly, unconscious of the fact that the battleship is obsolete, out of date, a joke in war. The flying machine is the new weapon, the ONLY one that counts. The air is the NEW OCEAN.

K. Williams of Chicago, Ill., is Re-elected by Acclamation. (By Charles Stewart) (Continued from last week.) THURSDAY'S SESSION. After Dr. L. K. Williams called the convention at 9:30 Thursday morning, devotionals were conducted by Dr. S. T. Eldridge, Connecticut, and Dr. S. E. J. Watson, Illinois. "The Conquering Christ in Racial Relations" was the theme discussed by the Rev. W. C. Brown, president of the Florida Baptist State Convention. "Every race has some outstanding characteristic." said Dr. Brown. "and it has been the same with individuals. It was given to the Hebrews to preserve oracles of God and to give a form of worship. It was given to the Greek to refine literature and culture of the world, and to the Romans to give the world a system of jurisprudence.,. It was given to the Anglo-Saxon to make explorations and extend the borders of the Christian religion. They have not brought in the era of universal brotherhood and have not therefore fulfilled their mission. To the Negro race is given the task of showing to the world the most beautiful example of patience, humility and loyalty under the most trying conditions and to make a most endearing contribution to the civilization of the age." MANY RETURN TO THE FOLD. 117 delegates came forward and received welcome for their return to the Convention the first time since the split. Rev. J. W. Crawford said he had discovered his error and was returning home. He said that after studying the records of the convention his eyes had been opened. Rev M. F. Ware, New Mexico said he felt at the next session every Baptist in his State would be represented, Dr. W. B. Brown, New York, also made a strong address. He was followed by the large delegation from South Carolina. Dr. H. M. Moore spoke for the State President Williams asked all to stand in silent prayer. After prayers for consecration of our gifts by Rev. Dr. B. J. Perkins, Tennessee, Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board made certain explanations. The Rev. Dr. R. I. Bradby, Detroit, Mich. made the address setting forth the necessity of giving for the completion of what is destined to be the greatest: publishing house in the world owned by the race and the property of the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Bradby brought $500 from his church for the Publishing Board, Dr. L. K. Williams then said that the Olivet Baptist Church sent $1,000 and he was making a personal donation of $300. Dr. W. F. Graham said that he did not desire to embarrass the president of the convention by giving more personal money for the cause, hence he would be just, one dollar behind him, and put down $299. Then followed John L. Webb. Hot Springs, a prominent layman. He is custodian of the Woodmen of Union heading one of the largest fraternal organizations in America, deacon of Roanoke Baptist Church and superintendent of the Sunday School. He said he was proud 40 be at the head of the laymen movement of the convention and he wanted to show his interest in the work, hence his personal donation of $300. He said the laymen would be liberally represented, for they would give at least one thousand dollars. PRESIDENT WILLIAMS ELECTED. William H. Steward, chairman of the enrollment committee made a partial report, showing that up to that hour 1408 regular delegates had enrolled. At this point, Dr. Watson called attention to the great work being done by President L. K. Williams, and moved that the rules be suspended and Dr. Williams elected president. The second came from fully a thousand voices and Dr. Williams was elected. (To be continued) ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., October 14—Mr. R. B. Halley, 9 Fifth Avenue, N. E. is improving.
