WILKINS NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—(P. N. S.)—'Yelow Charleston', who was convicted of killing Barron G. Wilkins was sentenced Tuesday by Judge McIntyre in general Sessions to die in the electric chair in the week of December 22. The slayer, whose right name is John Miller, killed Wilkins when the latter refused to give him money to flee the city ten minutes after Miller had killed another man in a quarrel over a crap game in a nearby tenement house. Miller was poorly attired during the trial, but when he appeared before Judge McIntyre for sentence he wore a new blue suit, which, it developed, had been given him by Carroll, a theatrical producer, when Carroll was in prison in the Tombs awaiting trial for displaying nude pictures in a theatre lobby. CHARLES E. MITCHELL OF WEST VIRGINIA HAS WON GREAT DISTINCTION. (New York Age.) It is but natural that we as a race should take pride in our young people's accomplishments. This week this paper wishes to call the attention of its readers to the splendid record of Charles E. Mitchell, of West Virginia. It is not enough to tell the public that he is a blood relation of the illustrous Frederick Doug'as. Credit is due this energetic young man for his perseverance, grit and integrity. He has won his spurs and men higher up in life now recognize him as being a factor in our social and economic circles. Mr. Mitchell received his early training at Anacostia, D. C., Cedar Hills, to be more definite. He is a scholar, politician, banker and social worker. He is active in church work, and is prominent in fraternal circles. He is business manager of the West Virginia College Institute, Institute, W. Va. He was the first colored man to receive a commission as a certified accountant in West Virginia, and is president of the Mutual Savings and Loan Company, the only Negro bank in the State. Recently serving as secretary of the Virgin Island Commission, by appointment from President Coolidge, he finished with fine record and during the recent campaign he assisted the chairman of the Colored Republican Campaign workers in New York City. The wonderful personality of Charles E. Mitchell, coupled with his brain and ability has won to him the hearts of prominent people out of both races.

A. Ferguson is the chairman, made its first report to the headquarters of the Richmond Community Fund. Tuesday morning, November 18, 1924. The total subscription amounted to $2,008.00. The Community Fund Headquarters expressed their gratitude to all those who contribute. Among the leaders were the Southern Ald Society, which gave $500.00; the First African Baptist Church, of which Dr. W. T. Johnson is pastor gave $400, and the Second Street Bank, of which Mr. J. T. Taylor is president gave $200. The Advisory Committee hopes and believes that the colored people of Richmond will do their share in helping to raise the desired sum.

Let us thank God our nation is at peace and our hopes are at home. Let us be thankful, too, that behind our frank American smile, behind our whimsical wit, behind our seeming carefree indifference, there stands, rebellious in the American character, that power, that courage, that love of country marked in the lives of the Nation's founders, and upon which rest the safety of American ideals. Thanksgiving is perhaps the most beautiful of American holidays. It opens the goodguest of memory, it draws from the heart our human love and flinks anew our kinship with the Christ. Yet, what say we of those among us who are lonely at this hour, does he try, bewildered, to fathom the mystery of Almighty reasoning, those who in their suffering look with pleading eyes to learn what, in their time of sorrow, they have at hand for which to offer thanks. In the suffering heart to-day let there be thanks for Jesus and His ability to run the gamut of divine emotion to the last resonant tone. God has ruled that only from out the melting pot of the agonies may come the gold refined and pure. All is well. The nation lives; angels kiss the cheeks of sleeping childhood, whife those who have gone to rest repose in the arms of God—at peace. Let us give thanks. AVIOCASTER Personals and Briefs Mrs. Lucy A.

TROUBLE of one kind or the other is for all of us in this world and most of us know it and make no complaint. JAPAN has openly flouted the other Nations in the discussion of the opium traffic and that country is strong enough to make its position and wishes respected. GREAT BRITAIN has had a political upheaval and the Labor Government is now out of power. WE CANNOT all be all that we wish to be, but we can continue to strive to reach the goal most to be desired. THE INTER-RACIAL LAW THE DISCUSSION of the recently enacted inter-racial law seems to be worrying some of the white folks. It has but little more than a cursory interest for the colored ones. The agitation does not affect the latter either one way or the other, although most of them welcome the decision recently rendered by a Judge in Rockbridge county, when he ordered a marriage license issued to a white woman, who has only a slight strain of Negro blood in her veins and this is traced back 130 years. The colored folks have enough white Negroes on their side of the line already and this number is being constantly augmented by natural or unnatural causes and they have no desire to multiply the number. They are desirous of curbing or stopping this intermingling of the races and any real movement to accomplish this end will be welcomed by them. But laws of this kind and character will not accomplish the purpose. We are already so mixed up over here that we have a difficult time telling "which from tother" and it is our desire that if any Negro white folks are over the other side of the line, let them remain there and not --- confuse us with any more white Negroes, with which we are now embarrassed. This whole subject is one that will prove abortive, when practical results are expected along the lines indicated. MR. CARTER'S POLITICAL REVIEW To the Editor of The Planet: "Dear Sir:—The political battle of 1924 is now over and the victory is where the writer would have it to be. Those gentlemen and ladies of the colored race who advocated and voted for the success of the Democratic Party are now left to meditate over the wasto of speech and the loss of time. In the great campaign just closed, the writer observed that there was no breach of concord in the main ranks of the Republican Party. When that is a fact, with a united effort on part of the whole party, they are sure of success at the ballot box. It is, as you know, impossible to nominate a man to be President pleasing to every one. Hence, therefore, the Democrats had much fault to find with Mr. Coolidge, particularly his silence. But now it is proved by his unparalleled majority that he was stronger in silence than they who made great eloquent speeches. ANALYSIS OF REASONS. "And it is very evident that had he been running for President when he sent his first message to Congress viewing the favorable sentiment it made he would have carried the whole country. Many of our well-informed colored leaders went over to the support of the Democratic Party. Their reason for so doing was the non-recognition of the Negro by the Republicans, when it is in their power so to do. True, in some respects. But there was more recognition of the Negro by the Republican Party in the years from 1865 to 1913, than there was by the Democratic Party in the time from 1913 to 1921. REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES UPPERMOST. The Negro's intellectual and material advancement of today has not been attained by the influence of the Democratic Party, but it has come through the instrumentality of Republican principles on those great principles. Mr. Coolidge won his—the biggest majority over given to anyone at the ballot box. His strength and success the country over were far beyond the calculations of his political enemies. "ROBERT W.

It seems that among the five deceased Americans there were two noble sons of Africa, whom the office of the Register of the Treasury had yielded up to the German hosts of battle. On Armistice Day, however, when a tablet was to be tearfully unveiled as a silent ode to the heroes whose bones are bleaching somewhere in France, the unveiling ceremony revealed two tablets, upon one of which were artistically inscribed the names of the white soldiers, while a separate tablet had been segregationally honored with inscriptions of the names of the black patriots. Their blood flowed together down the Marne, but cold statuary made a fine separation of valorous names "over here". Heaven is doubtless the home of the soldier souls who departed this life "over there", but a marble tablet was too earthy to permit the admixture of the names of black and white compatriots "over here". We'll venture the thought that before German bullets tore the bodies from the souls of the valiants "over there" they had ceased to pin their hopes upon the mess of pottage "over here". But those who remain are unwilling to see themselves in the mirror of Heavenly hopes "over here". They are still playing cards with a deck which has in it the most darksome "joker" ever dealt.

Their names are inscribed more deeply elsewhere than they could ever be inscribed in cold marble "over here". Their names are emblazoned in the memories of all God-fearing Americans.

Organization plus substantial police power are answers to the questioning menace. Those who claim to be carrying the message of labor unionism to the four corners of the earth should stop off at Harrodsburg, Ky., and similarly situated points, and hold revival services, rather than risk the call of Hypocrisy. Either unionism does protect or it does not protect, and the forces of organization are found nearly everywhere in some form or other. Inroads upon production and the peaceful pursuit of labor must not be permitted to duplicate themselves. The sooner they are made impossible, the sooner will the aims of industry be attained, and the more quickly will there be put to rout one of the chief instrumentalities of persecution. A. D.

My acknowledgment would not be complete if should omit assurance of my desire to render the sort of service that will justify your generous judgment". Thus wired the Nation's chief executive to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, and member of the Advisory Committee of the Republican Campaign in answer to a telegram of congratulations sent forward by Dr. Scott, which had as its keynote the acknowledgment of America's Negro population of the President's "eager willingness to defend the constitutionally guaranteed rights of all citizens of the Republic, without regard to race, creed, or color." The President's reply is full of nutriment. Nor does he stop with the expression of his desire to render service. He acknowledges valuable assistance and pledges himself to justify the high regard in which he is held by the Negroes of this country. Reading between the lines, we are sure we see an era of unsurpassable executive justice in the White House. We feel that the Constitution is resting more safely than ever before in the hands of reverent officials of our Government. We are confident that currents will not be permitted to disturb the sea of equanimity in America. We believe that the wrongs will be righted, and we rejoice with Dr. Scott in such a frank and far-reaching pledge as he received from the victorious candidate. Our leadership is safe and our destinies call for a high degree of optimism.

"Jim" who is a lawyer of extraordinary ability, has going up against the Pullman Company in hisigation which will determine whether or not the surcharge imposed by the wealthy car company for Pullman accommodations is legal applicable to weary travelers. Jim started his suit in the Municipal Court, which is the court of lowest jurisdiction in the District of Columbia. Jim was sustained in that court and the defendant appealed to the District Court to Appeals, from whence the litigants are going to the U. S. Supreme Court. Four able white attorneys have given battle to Jim all along the way; but that means nothing to the Howard Professor, who has dug up such an array of legal precedents that the Bench has taken considerable notice of Jim's arguments.

The Period of Final Training at Hand---Union Hampton---Lincoln at Washington. (William "Count" Staples) Thanksgiving is close at hand. A glance at football schedules for Saturday, November 22 shows many teams resting, preparing for the all important Turkey day battles. At Hampton, the Seasiderh will not play Saturday but will polish up for Thanksgiving. Union will battle St. Paul Saturday. After returning from this game Sunday, the final lap of training begins before playing Hampton. Four days remain in which Coach Harvey may bring the Panthers to their highest point of efficiency.

Hampton and Tidewater are eagerly awaiting the meeting of the great game, always a colorful affair, with these two elevens, hundreds of alumni and the public generally whooping things up. LINCOLN MEETS HOWARD. The Lincoln-Howard game at Wassington will find the bowl filled with more than 30,000 shrieking souls, and of course, will be the outstanding game of the season. The game last Saturday between Lincoln and Shaw gave football lovers much to talk and think about, and from now until Thanksgiving they will play the merry dope. It would be well to remember however, that the game as played on the field is the only score that figures in the permanent records.

You will enjoy it.—Editor The Life of the Party The Life of the Party Leaving Dr. Gray comfortably en-scenced in an armchair beside Dad'y's bed with one of his beloved books on psycho-analysis in his hand I went to my own room to make up my mind whether I would go or not. Curtise Wright had gone. Hours Curtiss Wright had gone. Hours ago I had heard his car start. "Christmas Eve," I murmured, and with the words a sense of consuming loneliness crept ever my heart. The reflection in the cheval-mirror showed that the days of confinement had left me pallid and wan. I don't know how it is with other girls, but for me, happiness is the greatest beautifier in the world. Of course I wouldn't go with Marj and Bob when they came. It would not be right after I had told Curtiss Wright that I had to stay at home. Walking to the window, I raised the shade. Holly wreaths with vivid red berries gleamed at the windows of our neighbors' home. Christmas Eve. Suddenly it came to me. I knew what I'd do. Try on my new frock of silver-cloth that had come from New York that very afternoon. Just dressing up for fun wooled help kill time and besides there was nothing for me to do. for Dr. Gray had declared he would not allow me back at Daddy's side. I skipped to my closet door. There it was. My silver gown shimmered and gleamed. Like some beckoning adventures, it tempted and allured. I took it gently from its satin-wrapped hanger and held it close to my face. Its texture was cool and smooth. I peeped into my bottom drawer. The silver sandals from Bob's were there. And silver hose, like the dust of moonbeams. I'd try everything all on. I cannot imagine heaven without clothes and the life of an angel would be dull indeed without gesamer and lace. Just as I was giving the last touch to my bob in walked Mom Nellie with a package in her hand. I tore open the package. It was a cap of rhinestones I had ordered when I bought my gown. "Been on de hall table ever sense ah don' know when." Mom Nellie explained. "How did you ever happen to bring it at just this very moment?" I was eager to put it on. "When yo' loves somebody, Mis' Sallie, yo' sorter makes what business is gwing on in dere hearts. I lowed as how dis here being Christmas Eve maybe Marsel Gray he'd make our baby girl go out for a ill' while." Nodding her snowy white head, "Your papa's all right now, honey, go and make dem pretty feet fly." She crooned an old-time Virginia Reel and made a voluminous turn. 'Few turns before the mirror.' A bit of sweet, misty perfume from the atomizer and all thoughts of a serious nature disappeared. I was just Salille again. The carefree, frivolous an happy-go-lucky Salille of former days. Once more my spirit of romance stirred and I felt a glow go over my whole being. "Oh, Mammy." I finally asked, realizing Mom Nellie was still there "what made you say what you did about—er—oh, you know, about Mister Curtiss?" And I began hum mine a tune. "Honey chil' dese ole eyes ain't stone blind. Ain't I done seen him mooning 'round like a hanton since' shut yourself in unstairs. He can't foo' Mom Nellie. I knew he was 'jes' a-hankerin' for a look at my baby chil'. "Dere dev is, Miss Sallie. Run long, now, and have a good time." For one brief mom at I thought of several reasons why I should stay at home. "Here's yo' coat, ghile, go 'long." Marmy handed me my evening wrap from the closet, tucked a scrap of a handkerchief in my hand and before I realized what I was doing I was running down the hall. Bob had come to escort me to the car. I got in Ted Billings was at my side. "For some silly reason Ted was afraid you wouldn't come with us if he went in." Marjorie explained. "Oh, the way Sallie, this is going to be the loveeites party. We haven't had our 'life of the party' in such a long time." And so the subject was gracefully changed. Before we alighted at the Wind- ATX --- sor the conversation was smoothly running along. Ted laughed and chatted as if nothing had happened. He had evidently decided not to refer to the Beach episode. Well, certainly I would not. Perhaps I should have been too peeved and insulted to have a good time, but for some reason I couldn't stay mad.

THRIFTY TIPS FOR THE HOME. by FLO. by FLO. BREAD: If you wish the crust of your bread to be soft, rub the top of your loaf with butter. If you wish to be economical, water will do just as well. ORANGE MARMALADE: If you like orange marmalade with a bitter taste, do not parch the fruit. Use naval oranges and slice very thin. If you dislike the bitter taste parch the oranges and take off all the white inner skin. VELVET: To renew velvet that has become shabby, try this. First brush thoroughly and be sure that all the dust is removed, then spread a damp cloth on a hot iron and iron the wrong side. As soon as the steam ceases remove the iron to prevent scorching. GRANITE WARE: When mixtures have burned in granite ware, fill with cold water, add washing soda and heat gradually to a boiling point. Then empty and the pan may be easily washed. CUPS: To remove the stains on cups or other china ware, use common salt or soda. PIES: If a little rich cream is spread over the top crust of a pie before it is put into the oven, it will be brown and flaky when it is baked. POTATOES: When paring potaotes, do not take off a thick rind, as the best part of the potato is near the skin. When paring turnips, a very thick rind should be taken off, as the turnip has an outer part that destroys the flavor of the whole vegetable if not removed. LINOLEUM: If linoleum is waxed it will wear much longer. First wash a small part with steaming hot water. Dry and wax while warm. Then rub WOOL: When laundering wool, it is very important to keep the washing water, the rinsing water and the drying room the same temperature. This will prevent shrinking WAX PAPER: A thrifty house wife will save all wax paper that comes around bread, cereal and cracker, boxes. It is very useful for wrapping sandwiches or to wax the iron on ironing day. MINCEMEAT: Mincemeat should be run through a food chopper before put into pies. It makes them much easier to digest than if the currants are left whole. Mince pies should always be served very hot --- The Planet will be sent to you for one year, price $2.00 or it will be delivered at your door every Saturday for Five Cents per week. The NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath Sally Morgan daughter of the late Tina Morgan has to go a distance of 25 miles from theench to catch a train for the east. "Here she interrupted my wife by wedding to Sheriff Boo Wells. Wells is unable to ride with her to the station, so young easterner who is visiting at the ranch offers to take her to the station in the morning. Sheriff ridicules the suggestion, but Sally and the Wreck set out anshow over the rough marsh and in time they are completely lost. Sally begins to regret that they are supposed to make the journey. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER III "If You Start, Finish—" "You longer had she idea that they would find the railroad and the water tank at which it was possible to signal the train. When seven oclock came she dismissed that from her mind; all that was now left was to get back to theunch. The Sheriff was right; it could not be done, as the Wreck said it could. She felt a sharp sense of humiliation in being lost on the range: that was "trick for dudes, perhaps, but no, for a girl born and raised within a half a day's ride. If only she could get a glimpse of Black Top; they would walk to it, even if they had to abandon the fliver. But Black Top had vanished in a mysterious way, somone behind miles of humocks. "There's water here somewhere," she called suddenly. "Watch yourself." The Wreck circumnavigated a tree, secured straights for a barrier of young alders and sent the machine crashing magnificently through. The front fell dropped sharply, the flipper tilted forward at an angle of 15 d-rees, plunged, flattened out again and came to a stop, hub deep in a stream. "There!" said Sally. "I told you there was water." "I never denied it," said the Wreck. "Now what are you going to do?" He stepped out on the running board and descended briskly into the stream, which cooled his legs pleasantly. Wedding around to the rear of the car, he fumbled in the lug. "in going to fill the radiator," he said. "Water is exactly what we need." Sally made a gesture of helpless exasperation and watched him, as he went methodically about the task. The fliver dragged more than a buck-fulful and he nodded a satisfied way when all it overflowed at the orifice. "And now what?" she demanded. "Now we drive on, of course." He held the seat, after returning the bucket to its place, and jammed his foot on the pedal that engages the clutch. The fliver trembled, moved, stopped grain. There was a terrifying racing of the motor. He did something more to the pedals and the gears were in reserve, but still the motor need without producing a corresponding movement in the car. "No direction" remarked the rock as the glued over the side and watched the rear wheel spinning in the stream. He stepped out again and tramped round in the water for a while.

"He also took an observation of the sky, and nodded. "And that the train went long ago, and that we're nowhere near any railroad—or anything?" "I don't admit that we nowhere near the railroad." he said. "We've made a lot of progress. But I'll admit we're not right on top of it." That means that are you going to do? she fairly shied away. He shushed his legs about in the stream in a tentative, exploratory fashion. "The bottom's hard enough," he said, "but there's a lot of slippery stones. She won't take hold. And the way things are. I can't get the chats on. She won't go forward and she won't back. She needs a chance to cool out. anyhow." He seemed to be actually contented, a fact that was no less amazing to Sally than it was maddening. "Do you mean to say we'll never get out. Mr. Williams?" The Wreck ruffled at once. "I said nothing of the kind." he retorted. "I didn't event hint it. Certainly we'll get out. What do I "CAN YOU GET THAT THING OUT OF THE WATER?" carry a block and tangle for? You don't call this trouble do you? She's been in worse fixes than this." "After dark you can't run," she pointed out. "Can't I? You wait till I turn on those road lights. She looks like two locomotives." "You'd try to keep on running across country—at night?" she demanded, her voice incredulous. "Certainly. You haven't seen those lights yet." Then you'll run without me, Mr Williams. I'd like to get back to the chance. I'll take reasonable chance. If I had a horse I could make it. But—she paused to setle an uncompromising gaze upon him—I'm not insane. We're anchored here for the night." Sally stood in her place and glanced up and down stream. The little river was not more than ten yards across, shallow everywhere and brisk of motion, with elders and cottonwoods and fresh green banks on either side. It was beautifully peaceful and sylvan for a plenic, or a camp; but Sally was theoretically aboard a train, headed eastward, and to be stalled in a fluvier in the middle of an oasis, no matter how charming, was irritating beyond all patience. She climbed out on the real deck of the little roadster, gathered her shirts and leaped, landing clear of the shore, up among the bushes. "There's a package of sandwiches in the back of the car. Get 'em out." With This Deep One he was composed by Professor J. B. here are many subtle meanings in take up the questions.

"And hand me me, coat, too; I want it to sit on. You might give me the small grip, too. And then I advise you to come out of that water. It may feel good now, but it's liable to get cool after dark and first thing you know you'll have rheumatism. And if you get rheumatism you'll have something real to worry about." The Wreck did all the things she commanded. She opened the package of sandwiches, apportioned half of them equally and wrapped up the remainder. "We'll need the rest for breakfast," she said. "Get your bucket out again and draw some water. I'm dreadfully thirsty. We'll keep that bottle of coffee until morning." They sat under a cottonwood, ate sandwiches and drank out of the bucket. When it grew dark he waded out to the fliver and switched on the lights. But they were pointed the wrong way so that the adventurers received only an indirect benefit from the glare. He thought it would be better if they transferred themselves to the other side of the stream, but Sally said she had gone as far as she intended to "Do you honestly think you can get that thing out of the water?" she asked He snorted scornfully. "Not that it's likely to be of any particular use, even if you do." she added. "I expect to be walking tomorrow." The Wreck strode away among the cottonwood. For once he seemed anxious to avoid argument. When he returned, Sally had curled herself up under the tree, with the coat over her, and was preparing for slumber. "Letter get a coat and find yourself a place." she advised "We'll need to make an early start." "You'd better sleep out in the car." he said. "Why?" "It's safer. If anything comes along—" She laughed, he was such a ridiculous tenderfoot, with such funny ideas about the west "What do you expect?" Indians she demanded "No thank you I'll stay here where I am comfortable I've a gun anyhow, so don't worry" "So suit yourself," he answered, and an instant later she heard him sloshing in the stream "You go to try to sleep in that car?" she called "Because you'd never get any sleep, trying to fold yourself up in that." "I'm not going to sleep." came his voice, irritably. "I never do sleep mind. I am just going to do an exercise and keep watch that all. It. You. Just anything, holler." "I'll have you promised, and smothered a laugh. A few minutes later, as she was becoming drowsy, she was aware that he had switched off the lights. After that it was very dark under the cottonwoods, and very quiet, save for the cool rustle of the stream, which was ceaseless and soothing. Sally's last conscious mental effort was a dim hope that something would come along to give him a good scare; she wanted to find out how he would read. Perhaps a coyote would come along to observe it lifted his muzzle and howawid within a mile of them. Sally did not hear it. She slept like a healthy young animal. The Wreck felt something punching him between the shoulders. He straightened up in the seat, slowly opened his eyes, blinked them and found the glare of sunlight dazzling. The thing punched him again, and he turned around. Sally was standing on the bank, prodding at him with a long bite. "Hi you!" she called. "Do you know it's after seven?" "G morning," said the Wreck. "Why didn't you call me?" "Call you? I've been fairly yelling at you. I've scared every jack-rabbit in the county, but you never budged. Is that what insnonsis does to you?" "I must have just dozed off," he mumbled, as he yawned and stood up to stretch. "Oh, yes."

WHAT OF THE BOOTLEGGER. WHAT IS GOVERNMENT? MR. REA RETIRES. Following experiments in the manufacture of gasoline in a Standard Oil plant, many employees were attacked with strange illness, producing insanity. Five of them died. Reporters, fond of striking names, call the strange gas "loony" gas. Scientists don't know just what it is. The public is excited about the dreadful poison gas, and the prosecuting attorney is investigating. There are gases in existence that would enable half a dozen filers to kill a hundred thousand people with the greatest ease. And that, multiplied by ten, or more, is exactly what would happen if this nation and its big cities were attacked by enemy filers and found unprepared. That ought to interest the people even more than the unfortunate experiment in the Standard Oil plant. Cornelius Cole, who knew Abraham Lincoln well, died in Los Angeles, aged 102. He practised law when past 100. Newspapers always mention the death of a man that begins his second century. The time is coming when to die younger than 100 will be the exception. A cablegram tells of 3,000 crowns near Nevers in France, chasing an eagle into a French chateau, where it was killed by the keepers of the place. That should interest Uncle Sam. The eagle is his bird. And the day is coming when eagles and crowds are not to be the only fighters in the air. The sight of a noble eagle pursued by 3,000 miserable crowds, and finally killed, isn't pleasant. There might be more unpleasant rights, in this country, if we had our and our enemies East or West began releasing their flying machines to deal with the American eagle here. The mistake of a towerman sent a coal car into a crowded trolley car, slicing off one end of it, killing ten. The towerman admitted that he had been drinking, and a flask of moonshine whiskey backed up his statement. The towerman will be punished, and ought to be. What about the man that sold him the whiskey? In that case the bootlegger did not merely violate the prohibition law. He committed murder. Wouldn't it be worth while to do something about that? The day devoted to national government being over, not to come again for four years, it might be worth while to establish a definition of government. According to Aristotle, it is "first, to see that men shall live; second, to see that they shall live well." That abbreviation of Aristotle's theory in A. E. Zimmerman's admirable essay on Greek politics is as good a definition as any. To see, first, that men live, they are supplied with what they need, and are not killed by their enemies; and, second, to see that they live well, in comfort, free from worry:—that's government. Mr. Rea, because he reaches the age of seventy, retires from the presidency of the Pennsylvania Railroad to make room for a younger man. At seventy a man should be at his best, and Mr. Rea undoubtedly is at his best mentally, and therefore at the most efficient period of his life. For men that live wisely and think as they live, the most ancient years of life show come between seventy and eighty. Gladstone was at his best when just seventy, fighting in the House or Commons debates at four in the morning. Von Moltke was seventy when he took charge of the Prussian army, and wiped out the French. Clemenau was long past seventy, and the two combined did to Germany what Von Moltke had done to France.

CARRIE B. TUGGLE PROMINENT EDUCATOR DIES IN BIRMINGHAM AT RIPE AGE. (Preston News Service) BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Nov. 14. — Mrs. Carrie B. Tuggle, president and founder of the Tuggle Institute, social and welfare worker, and termed by southern whites as the female Booker T. Washington In Negro educational matters, died at her home here last Wednesday evening following a long illness, at the age of 65. While Mrs. Tuggle had been confined to her bed for approximately six months from a nervous breakdown, her condition was not considered serious until Sunday. She was born May 28, 1859, at Eufaula, Ala. After the Civil War Mrs. Tuggle, with her parents, who had been slaves, remained with the former master until she was of age. Then she went to Montgomery, whence she came to Birmingham 40 years ago. In this city she met and was married to J. L. Tuggle, a postal employee and prominent figure in fraternal affairs. Mrs. Tuggle, who at that time was employed in the Ward family, lived with her husband in the rear of the Ward home. In 1903 Mrs. Tuggle was summoned for the first time into court as a welfare worker in the interest of two colored boys. While there the judge said in the hearing of those in court: "Something will have to be done about the Negro wafs of this city. Running loose as they do breeds criminals." This set Mrs. Tuggle's alert mind to working and on September 3, 1903, with the munificent sum of $2.50, she started what is now known as the Tuggle's Institute. The venture proved a fight from the be pinning. At first Mrs. Tuggle and some working colored women managed to erect a wooden building without floors and began to collect orphans into it. The school and orphanage grew. Five years ago they were preparing to burn the last mortgage, the buildings burned to the ground. Mrs. Tuggle, however, was not discouraged. She rallied the women around her and appealed to the whites as well as Negroes for aid. For the second time her efforts met with success. At present the school stands, two two-story buildings, one one-story building, three cottages and a hospital, as a memorial to Mrs. Tuggle's unceasing efforts. Her efforts did not end with her educational work. She took an active part in the promotion of church work—being one of the oldest members of St. John A. M. E. Church here, and is said to have been an active member of every Negro woman's organization in the State of Alabama and several of the women's national organizations. Seventeen years ago Mrs. Tuggle founded the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection and for a number of years she served as Mother Protector of the organization. She held high office in the Court of Calanthe. During her 21 years of social and welfare work she gathered together 11,000 Negro women who were always ready to support her in anything she undertook to do. The work is being carried on by her son-in-law, D. D. Mitchell, sprintent and S. C. Blivins, vice president, who have taken up the work where Mrs. Tuggle left off. Mrs. Tuggle is survived by one daughter and five grandchildren. Alabama whites regarded Mrs. Tuggle as the most upstanding race woman in the South, especially in Alabama. SHEPHERD NEWS.
