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 Virginia State Library. FOURTEEN COLORED MEN THE VICTIMS Cook Killed--Atlantic Coast Line Diner Demolished Large Number Injured---Awful Catastrophe on Jersey Meadows---Names and Addresses of the Unfortunate Dining Car Employees. VOLUME XLII, NO. 16 FOUR Cook K Large Nur Three persons were killed and thirty two injured in a rear end collision Tuesday morning, February 24 on the Jersey Meadows, just outside of New York, when the electric locomotive motorman disregarded all signs and the frantic efforts of the flagman and dashed into the dining car of the Atlantic Coast Line train. The electric car plunged into the diner three quarters of its length. Two of the men killed were car inspectors and the impact hurled the entire train against the locomotive, cutting off the heads of the men. The colored cook on the diner showed a warning to the men, but was himself killed, thus saving the lives of his comrades. Acetylene torches had to be used to cut the steel sides of the diner in order to release the body of Lee 'Johnson, the colored cook. The following is a list of the colored men killed and injured: THE DEAD JOHNSON, L. E., 25, cook, 66 Deway Avenue, Jamalena, Queens, N. Y. THE INJUED.

Union and Hartshorn must touch more people. It is the plan of the University and College authorities, therefore, to make the people of Richmond better acquainted with the Union University and with Hartshorn College. Every person in Richmond will be personally interviewed in the very near future with a view to soliciting his cooperation in the great plan of development now launched by Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial College. For sixty years Virginia Union University (through Richmond Institute, Wayland Seminary, and the University proper) has been helping to supply Richmond and the country generally with leaders. For forty-six years Hartshorn Memorial College has been sending forth teachers and makers of refined homes. Besides regular high school, college and theological work offered, the University has recently established a School of Education, a School of Law and a School of Commerce and Business Administration. Men and women are enrolled in all departments of the institutions. Today the total enrollment of Union and Hartshorn is larger by 200 than the entire number of 560, who have graduated from Hartshorn Memorial College during its years of existence. And yet the physical plants of the University and the College have not changed materially in the last ten years although the enrollment has increased 100 per cent. and three new departments have been added to the courses of study. Union and Hartshorn must expand. As a result of this sentiment the General Education Board of New York City has offered to give the schools $300,000 for endowment, provided an additional $300,000 can be raised. In the allotment of this amount to be raised the plan is to secure $200,000 from white friends and $100,000 from the Alumni of the school, their friends and supporting constituency. With these means three new buildings, which are very necessary, will be assured. They are estimated to cost $100,000 each and are a dormitory for the girls of Hartshorn Memorial College, science building and a dormitory for the boys of Virginia Union University. President William John Clark, of the University says, "This is a large program, the largest ever undertaken by any Home Mission School, but it is a program which can be carried through successfully".

Very few state the race of Crisis Attacks, tell anything of his History or give due credit to the Boston Massacre where he gave his life blood as the first American Martyr.

The funeral services held Friday, the 20th at the First Baptist Church will long be remembered by the large concourse of sorrowing friends. The pastor Rev.

Richard Newby, Squire Harris, Ogle Beverly, H. H. Cunningham, Sr. Honorary: Prof. J. H. Blackwell, Deacon W. H. Hatcher, Messrs. John H. Jones, Elijah Williams and George Snowden.

WOMEN OF OHIO. 2—OPTIMISM EVEN IN FAILURE, 3—THE MAN FROM LIBERIA. 4—ANT iROPOLOGY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY 5—THEY’LL MISS MR. UPHAM. (Preston News osnwe} ea ATTENTION! WOMEN OF OHIO. Just a few weeks ago, Mrs. Eva B. Wright, journalist and leader of women, formerly of Ohio, but now of Washington, D. C. pointed out some things which should be done by Negro women of the Buckeye State in order to safeguard and promote their political fu, ture. . Probably of more importance than the sub- ject raised by Mrs. Wright is the industrial situation, as it affects the Negro women of Ohio. Ina study made by the U. S. Women’s Bureau, it is stated that of 16,788 adult wo. mea, nondiscriminately investigated in 302 Ohio industrial establishments, 80 per cent were native-born whites; 4.6 per cent were tlative-born Negroes; and 15.4 per cent were foreign-born whites, which shows conclusively that there is something wrong with matters which affect the inclusion of our female racial group in the industrial occupations of the great State of Ohio. (This significant truth is is brought even more strongly to light when it is remembered that the Negro population of Ohio is close to a quarter of a million, and that during the past eight ye®rs of migration, Ohio was a veritable ‘‘first stop” for nearly forty per cent of the Negro migrants. When it is considered that foreign-born women, at work in Ohio, comprise more than 15 per cent of the female labor forces. as against about 41-2 percent for our group, it is apparent “that we are lagging sadly in the Ohioan industrial world. The fault may not be ours, but the naked truth calls for a remedy. Of the 16,788 females studied by the U. S. Women’s Bureau, our group totaled 771. Strange to say, in the laundry industry upon which it has always been presumed that we should have the “corner” our women com. prised 14.5 per cent, a third place mark in competition between themselves, having made 178 per cent in the occupations of producing food products and 16.6 per cent in the occu. p'tions of the glass industry. "The Negro women have a joke upon their white native-born contemporaries, however, when it is observed that the foreign-born Ohio operatives made 53.4 per cent in occupations necessary to the manufacture of Women’s clothing. In this particular the American whites fell to 46.2 per cent, which certainly does not permit any congratulations on the part of the white folks. Negro women comprised 2.9 per cent in the manufacture of @uto tops and other canvas products; 0.4 per cent in candymaking; 3.3 per cent in metal products; 9.0 in paper and paper products; 0.3 per cent in rubber and rubber products; and 3.4 per cent in general mercantile manufactures. They had virtually no representation in advertising; gloves; pot- tery; cordage} hosiery; woolen goods, and a host of products of lesser importence. And above the whole situation the poor showing is outstanding.’ In fact, it calls for treatment by Ohio employers who believe in American em. ployees for American goods; and by our wo men of Ohio, who deserve the fullest consid erations in the industrial pride of a great State, which is as much their home as it is aayone’s else.

The advent of failure is no signal for tears and weeping. Rather, it is a call for renewed confidence and the resolution to continue to press forward It is a call for reinforced support and per- severance. If, every time a train Was wrecked or a hoat was stink, people ceased their intercourse yin travel and transportation routes, what would become of the world’s business? Discontent is a stimulant of ambition. Pride is the forerunner of effort. Racial business and racial men are striving for the new emancipation—the new independence, 2s it were, among the peoples of the world. Failures within their ranks were long since preceded by failures within the ranks of theit contemporary racial groups. When failures come, new units of business must spring up and must be supported by an intelligent peo- p'e who show some knowledge of world his- tory and racial endeavor. ‘The groupal men and women Who get cold feet over a temporary waiver of racial business whether in bank, grocery store, or profession will never contribute one cubit to the stature and growth of raciat endeavor. Robert Fulton was deemed an idiot for his experiment with the Clermont. Stephenson was derided for his efforts to perfect the steam engine, Even Columbus was put in chains for his ideas of the globe. But let a Negro bank fail or a racial movement strike the rocks, and ten thousand voices would crucify our hopes and desires for the next decade. Some one has said “to err is hum@n—to forgive is divine”. Ridicule and criticism must give way to optimism and support, Negro business must be given our hearts and our hands and our money. Confidence must pervade our ranks, -for little by little we are pushing ahead. One swallow doesn’t make a summer; neither does one bank failure, or a dozen, for that matter, impute a dismal future for the Negro banking business.

We think the answer is found in the follow- ing sketch, which has many counterparts, confined by no means to the black people of the world, The little brown man from Liberia of whom we write, reached this country in his early “teens” where he saw, first-hand, the veriations of American education, Fate chanced to throw him into South Carolina, which, at best, does not offer any golden op- portunity for the education of any black man, woman or child, Somehow, or other, though the little brown man from Liberia managed to pursue an academic preparatory course, following the completion of which, he quali- fied as ® candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science at Claflin University. By dint of hard Work, the denial of ordinary comforts, and other semi-hardships, he secured his degree, without ever having failed an exam~ ination. Vacation seasons were spent hand- ling dinner trays and other hand implements. ‘The little brown man plugged right long, for he had decided to become a lawyer. So he entered Howard University Law College, where he persistently applied himself to the task of earning the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Of course, that degree was not of much worth, without a supplementary certifi- cate from some State Board of Law Examin. ers, So the little brown man of five feet five presented himself to the Law Board, and when we saw him the other night he had just taken the oath of the Circuit Court. He Was all smiles, of course. He had already rented office space and made a first payment upon a set of Corpus Juris. “A great country is America”, he said “I wish my fellow country men could have just half my chance”. ‘And we thought of the phases of life of our own people here in the land of opportunity curtailed at times by outbursts of prejudiced people, but, most of the time, offering some sort of an equitable chance to develop. We realized more and more that the foreign-born people, who nerve themselves up to the point of leaving home for the unknown, mean business when they touch American soil. They are serious minded; full of quiet energy; and hound up with the bonds of perseverance, like Seabron F. Hall, the little brown man from Liberia. ARE WE? ANTHROPOLOGY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY ‘The “Skull-Testers” are to be augmented by some descendants of Ham; for, lo, Howard University is to install a course of anthropo logical study, and dusky men and maidens ave to have a chance for themselves to trace sku!l thicknesses and pigment variations amid a bronze atmosphere. It doesn’t appear, from the Howard an: nouncement, whether this is to be a “get even’” project or a bona fide attempt to evolve some theories which will have the proper psycho- logical effect upon the unfortunate “doubting ‘Thomases” of our own group, who seem te think and act in terms which acknoWledge physical and mental inferiority, as compared with the standards of the white group, which, ever and anon, tries to let down the curtain upon our desires, both individually ani groupally. ‘Anthropology is a mighty fine study, par- ticularly from a recreational standpoint ; but, for practical purposes, a course in bricklaying or medicine would probably bring healthier returns, both morally and financially; for knowledge is power and power is money, and money buys houses and shoes for the kiddies. Physiological psychology, astronomy and anthropology are outstanding sciences for ed- ucational tourists and pathfinders; but, gee whiz, what can a son of Ham cash in on any of the three? We do not blame the Howard Faculty for putting in an anthropological course. They are getting “theirs” and must have some re- creation other than that in vogue at separate bathing beaches and golf links. And since Howard is a Class “A” college, we are half. way glad that it is augmenting its curriculum with mysterious subjects. But, no Howard graduate in anthropology Will be able te change the white folks’ mind; nor will a bronze.colored anthropologist have much of a chance in debate with the “Nordics” whose minds are already quite made up as to the evolution of man and monkey. So, until Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Princeton put in special courses in pigment study, we can't, for the lives of us, see muck to be hoped for from anthropological studies at any Negro university. ‘SHEY'LT.

(The accounts of the staff were not scrutinized in the fine-toothcomb way of today. Slight additions and extras Which the BRETHREN frequently #dded to travel expense accounts and the like, in the days of Mr, Upham, us- ually glided on through with the okay of the late G. O. P. Treasurer. In fact, it was Mr. Upham’s financial philosophy that the BRETH. REN were freqnently slightly underpaid; and umless an item was flagrantly tnreasonable upon its face, Mr. Upham seldom used his big red ink pen, as a silencer of the financial hopes of the various campaigners. He augmented this attitude with gifts to the faithful few in the way of traveling bags, canes, cigars, etc. And so, notwithstanding the present effi- ciency of the accounting system of the G. O.

"3 IN 1" HUSBANDS. It is suggested that income tax payers be allowed to deduct from taxable income what they have to pay doctors. If a man makes his income by using machinery he is allowed to deduct from income whatever he has to spend to keep the machinery in order. The machinery used by a lawyer, merchant or mechanic is his own body and brain. If he has to spend money to keep that machinery in order and fit to earn revenue, OF COURSE he should be allowed to charge that to "repairs" and deduct it from income tax. And also he should be allowed to deduct for each year of wear and tear a fair charge for DEPLETON. A coal mine owner charges off "depletion," because his mine is worth less each year. What about the man whose mine is his brain? That also is worth less each year. Fashion can do what other things can't do. For instance, the fashion in short skirts has made fashionable restaurants and night dancing resorts in London, cut down the height of tables and chais. It is impossible for women with skirts up to their knees to sit gracefully, not to say modestly, at the regulation high table. So the table legs are cut off. Last year this country paid out three billion dollars for automobiles. That's a large sum, but no money was better spent. To economize on automobiles would mean to economize on fresh air, health, happiness, and it would mean waste of time more than HAPPENINGS offsetting the saving in money. Europe, poorer and less efficient than the United States, suffers for lack of cars. Some of the millions we spent for trucks, to be used carrying freight. That was educational. Enough trucks competing with railroads and cutting railroad freight prices will make some of the old-fashioned railroad men think. Merely relying on the Interstate Commerce Commission to raise your rates, when you need more money, is not scientific railreading. "Tom" Lawson, author of "Frenzied Finance" and an active figure in much frenzied finance of his own, was buried last week close to the magnificent estate that he once owned. Wall Street gave it to him. And Wall Street took it away from him. When he was sixteen he made $40,000 in Wall Street. In twenty years of Wall Street life he made forty millions of dollars, and Wall Street took it all back. The old crouper at Monte Carlo's gambling house said to this writer long ago: "We don't have to worry about profits. While they have money, the strangers stay and gamble or spend it in our hotels. When they haven't any more money, they go. The money stays with us." So with Wall Street, if you gamble. Mrs. Tennal, lady editor of the Sabetha Herald, in Kansas, tells Kansas editors at Topeka that every woman needs three husbands — one for society, one to make money, one to look after the housekeeping. "Present-day husbands are satisfactory, as far as they go," she says, but they do not go far enough. The learned Mrs. Teenal knows that polyandry, meaning several husbands, was once the rule among many nations. It still prevails among certain semi-barbarous peoples. And the husbands manage to get along fairly well. Polyandry, however, will not solve the problem. The husband must multiply his accomplishments, while increasing his tendency to fidelity. The American husband makes money, but does not know how to pay compliments. Many European men pay marvelous compliments, but can't make money. The combination, or "three-in-one," husband will appear in the course of evolution. Scared! AUTOCASTER Geo. A.

Parks says he will "try." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA HELPS the NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath The "Novrous Wreck," an economic young easterner, takes the ranch's ranch to the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the Wreck takes five gallons from a gasoline tank. Later they are held captive at a ranch along the way because they want Sally for a cook. They discover that Mr. Underwood, the owner of the ranch, was fired. Bob Wells, who is Sally's niece, comes to the ranch to take charge of the case. He, Timothy, the Underwood chauffeur, acts as the welter. "Other parties besides us have been given up to us," Timothy brings back to Sally in the kitchen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY A lot of gold, Sally. "Yes, man." The sheriff has been telling the boss about it. There were two other automobiles stuck up among others around here within the couple of weeks. As near as I can make out from what the sheriff tells the boss, it's a new sort of game. First they had Indians out here that scaled people; that was quite a while back. Then they ran the Indians out, or civilized em, and things went along all right until they had road agents holding up stages. Well, they got the best of the road agents after several parties had got killed, and the business sort of died out. "And then—the sheriff has been going right into the history of all of it—there was a new bunch got to working on the trains. I can remember reading about them in the pap-rs myself. They used to go through the trains and take everything that everybody had, and anybody that didn't give up got shot. It took quite a while to get, rid of all the train-robbers, but finally they did and everything looked peaceful. And now they've begun again on the automobiles." "Really?" exclaimed Sally Really? extraordinarily? Yes, ma! I don't mean the same bunch, understand? They hung me up the old ones. It seems the sheriff tells the boss, that in the two, or three years there's been a lot of automobiles coming through this way, mostly rick people from the coast like the boss. They go clear on out to the coast and then drive all the way back again. Some of em carry quite a lot of valuables and these new hold-up gangs sometimes make a good profit. The sheriff says they didn't get into the county until quite recent, but he's heard about their goings on outside of it. But now they've got into his body and he's quite stirred up. Were the third car in about two weeks, guess the business is getting good; because it seems the gang is taking on new members. There were six of em that stuck up us, you know." He said it so blandly that Sally was half persuaded he believed it. "Six," repeated Timothy. "The less claims only four, but there was no more that he didn't see. I didn't use to contradict him in front of the herif, but there was she, all right. I am going to tell the sherif when he goes to the clues, because he ought to take all the clues, so he can get to work right." "Certainly," said Sally in an absent day. She was pondering over the surprising intelligence from Timothy and wondering how it affected the use of the Wreck and herself. If there was really a gang at work in the county—and, Bob Williams would say so unless it are trust-tight seemed to make their lives much simpler. The exploit the Wreck would naturally be based on those who were in the press for a living. It began to show if they were hiding from at all. She entered into the pantry.

It was a swinging door, with a half-inch space between the edge of it and the frame. She tiptoed forward, brought her ear close to the crack and stood there breathing softly. Underwood was talking, but not about bandits. He was talking about Sally's apple pie. "I'm going to take her back to New York with me and fire my French cook," he announced. "I don't know what sort of a job her husband can fill, but I'll find something for him." Sally raised her eyebrows, for this news. And then she heard the familiar, holisterous voice of Bob Wills. "I don't blame you," said the sheriff. The lady can certainly cook. You don't get a cook once in a lifetime. When you get 'em the thing to do is to rope 'em and brand 'em, and then don't let 'em outside the corral. Cooking is a woman's natural job, but they don't all get to be experts. But now and then, if you keep your eyes open, you can find one. Why—" He paused to chuckle comfortably. NEXT HE SAW THE BLACK HORSE HEADED ALONG THE TRAIL "The fact is, I'm going to marry one," he said. "Congratulations," remarked the heavy voice of Jerome Underwood. "That's the way I look at it," he said tightly. "You can eat those biscuits, that pie—girl a girl who can cook every bit as well as that. Understand me, she can do a job more than she's a smart girl and she's pretty too. But when it comes to cooking she doesn't have to take her hat off to anybody. After all, it's the main thing. It's the foundation." "Absolutely," said the voice of Underwood, out of a full mouth. CHAPTER XIV "The Son of a Gun" THE Wreck, who had been keeping vigil from a window of the living vigil from a window of the bunk house, saw the tail figure of the sheriff striding down to the corral just as dusk was settling. Next he saw the black horse and his rider headed along the trail that led to the main road. He could hear the sheriff whistling, there was a complacent sound about it that made him scowl. He waited until the man of the law passed from sight among the distant-spruce, then set off at a rapid pace for the ranch house.

Probably she was moonlit about things, he figured; women he was got getting sentimental when she was absolutely no sense in it. He was willing to bet she was her sorry that Bob Wells had not covered her, although she had been in a wild furry for fear that it would. It would be just like he Sentimentality! She wanted a sweet heart, and she didn't want him. anybody could figure out what a man really did want, the Wreck he willing to listen. A couple of the boys drifted in a late supper, along with Charl McSween. Timothy hung around the kitchen. The Wreck finally gave up the job and went out. Hold hanged if he'd wash the dishes. Timothy have a firing at it. Sally finished her work and went off to bed. She was still angry. "Listeners never hear any good of themselves," kept running in her head. That was not exactly true to her own case. Probably the thing she overheard were compliments she had heard them before and a ways so regarded them. But— "So Bob Welis is marrying a coor is he?" she muttered as she turn off the light. "The comma smart girl and I pretty, oh, yeah cooking is the main thing it's downward important and necessary, it's the foundation. Oh, wow I till I see him!" Downstairs in the big living room there was an earnest conversation between Chester Underwood and his father. It dealt with a discovery Chester, roaming about after supper in hope of a word with Sally Morgan, and failing to get it, he drifted idly down among the out buildings. He had observed before that one of the little sheds, commonly used for storing tools and various odds and ends, was locked. It was unusual to look anything around the ranch, but he had paid no particular attention the fact Now it aroused his curiosity. The padlock would not yield to pull. He tried several keys, but no of them would manipulate the lock. Then he picked up a stone and began it maneuvering. Eventually it penetrated under the attack and he managed to wrench it out of the wood. Rusty hinges gronaded as he swung the door back. A dusty fliver stood inside the shed. He stared at it for a while, wrinkling his forehead and trying to remember whether anybody at the ranch possessed such a thing. He stepped into the shed and walked slowly around the place where getting set was not favored. There was no observation. So he walked further, however, it looked just like any other fliver. But no, there was a front wheel missing, on the left side. A soap-box had been placed under the axle. He looked around the shed, but could not larly one that had only three wheels. Presently he stepped outside again and paused for another view of the rear end. His glance rested upon a license plate and became fixed there. There was a vague stirring in his memory. Then, with a look of astonishment on his face, he hurried off in the direction of the ranch house. All this he had been relating to his father as they sat in the living room and Jerome Underwood had been shooting questions at him that began in incredulity and developed into genuine curiosity. "You say you can remember the license plate?" demanded his father. "No. I didn't remember the number. of course. I never took any note of it. I wasn't near enough the other night. I didn't notice the state, either. But it just has the general look I think maybe it's the color stuck in my mind." "And it's a one-seater?" "Yes." "Him' Well, there are millions of them, of course.

Colored Richmond has its Virginia Union University, Hartshorn College, high and grammar schools and is an intelligent atmosphere, with three Race newspapers and many large enterprises, including three Race banks also hundreds of business and professional men and women. However Colored Richmond, perhaps from too much praise, was lured into a complacency which resulted in a loss of its ranking position. Chicago has the greatest Race newspaper, The Chicago Defender; its Douglass National Bank a million dollar institution, issuing National Bank Currency bearing an engraving of Frederick Douglass and carrying the signatures of a Negro president and cashier; its Liberty Life Insurance Company, The Binga State Bank; The Golden Brown Chemical Works; many large stores of all kinds; Real Estate Brokers and Agents; Fine Hotels, Restaurants, Hospital's and other prosperous enterprises. St. Louis has, in addition to the million dollar chemical works and toilet art estates manufacturing plant of Poro College, an unusually fine line of retail stores, including haberdashery clothing, jewelry, shoes and a first class hotel, Y. M. C. A. and a hospital. Indianapolis, Ind. has the million dollar manufacturing plant of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. and many other fine race enterprises. New York City has produced several million dollar real estate concerns; is the home of the Walkers, who have their splendid mansion on the Hudson the exclusive millionaire villa section which is reported to have cost around one-half million dollars. Berlem is the colored settlement of New York City; it has hundreds of first class business places owned and operated by Race people; has one colored church that owns several million dollars worth of real estate; it has several Race newspapers and magazines; a police station with nearly all of the officers and policemen of Race people; it has the best of educational institutions, and to some extent under colored management; it has a splendid Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and one city hospital under colored management. In New York City, Chicago and St. Louis, Race people own and occupy more first class apartments and homes on first class streets than in any other cities in the world. It might be worth while to mention the progress being made by Race people in the city of Pittsburgh. Pa. the home of The Pittsburgh Courier and of the million dollar Race bank. The Steel City Banking Company of Pittsburgh; also that of the city of Washington. D. C., with the great Howard University and the highest grade of public schools for Race people in the whole country; with a Life Insurance Company, two Banks and hundreds of other Race enterprises. Perhaps our readers will say that all of the above cities have a larger population than Richmond and the reference or comparison is unfair. For this reason reference will be made to Norfolk, Va., whose colored population is not much more than one half that of Richmond, which is the home of The Journal and Guide. It has the largest and, perhaps, the best high school for Race people in the State, and a Race man is the principal: the city furnishes a clinic for colored people which is operated by Race physicians and nurses; the colored people own and operate a modern hospital in Norfolk; the owned more prosperous and pay more钱 to taxes into the State Treasury than Race people in Richmond; they have hundreds of business enterprises, including the only million dollar Race bank in Virginia, The Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company. Durham N. C. has a small population when compared with Richmond. Perhaps, the total population of all races at Durham will not far exceed one-half of the colored population of Richmond. Durham is the home of the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company, a company doing both life and sick benefit business; it is the largest insurance company owned and operated by Race people in the world. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, the first fire insurance company operated by Race people in the United States, is located at Durham. The second one was organized at Chicago during 1824. There were two colored banks at Durham, which were consolidated during 1923, and they now have a million dollar Race bank, the outgrowth of this consolidation. The Race group at Durham has a strong Fraternal Institution, a Drug Store, a Building and Loan Association and other enterprises, as well as some wealthy citizens. Among their latest ventures are the Million Dollar Finance Corporation, and the new Lincoln Hospital recently completed at ruptured cost of $150,000.00. Reader. I know you feel like taking off your hat to pucky little Durham and also feel like suggesting something to help big Colored Richmond to regain its lost glory and to replace itself in the former position of Racial Progress. Any suggestions will be gladly received. Thrifty, industrious, intelligent and sometimes well-to-do colored people migrate from one place to another. They are usually looking for betterment; better schools for the education of their children; better church connectors; better homes; better business advantages and a community with a live community spirit, with at least one first class modern hospital for colored people, in which colored physicians may practice so that when a hospital case develops in their family, their own family physician may treat it. It is not difficult to understand why the thousands seeking such betterment, in the past few years, have all given Richmond the go-by in favor of other cities. What will the reader do to help improve the conditions in Richmond? What would the reader think of a business or a professional man, who lives in a community for a number of years thrives on the community's support and patronage, and never manifests any interest in any of the public movements for the benefit of the community that sustains him? He is only interested in his own personal success and shows no interest in the welfare and the success of the community or other. This is, of course, selfishness, and selfishness on the part of the citizens will slow down the progress of any community. A man, who is succeeding in a community, owes that community something; he ought to be in such close touch with the community that others will learn from him how to succeed. The man who is failing in a community ought to be in such close touch with those who are succeeding in the community as to learn from them the art of success. Can th's be done by remaining selfishly to ourselves, or by working in community efforts for the benefit of all? There are many among us who excuse themselves from all community efforts, on the pretext that they are busy, while as a matter of fact, they are succeeding, are satisfied and care nothing about the fellow around the corner who is failing, but who, perhaps, would be made a success if he only could get the friendly cooperation of those who are succeeding but who are void of any friendly community spirit. Colored Richmond has good churches; its educational advantages have been wonderfully improved, with more promised. A movement is on foot to improve housing and living conditions. The business and professional development will be controlled largely by the increase in population and other advantages. Then, before any substantial progress can be made the one crying need must be provided, a modern hospital. What will we do about it? Just ahead of the holidays, the writer prepared a communication for use in securing subscription pledges for a new, modern hospital building for Colored Richmond. The communication was printed, as well as a subscription pledged and a stamp addressed envelope, and enclosed in another envelope and sent to five hundred and eighteen (518) persons, business concerns, churches Sunday schools, frutinal societies and social clubs—all without a penny of cost to the hospital. The writer selected the names from the city directory himself, and included such as he felt were leaders in the community and in a position to make reasonable and substantial pledges to be paid in four installments during the year 1925, planning to publish these subscriptions from the leaders as an inspiration to all the people of the community, from whom we would solicit subscriptions for small sums but from a large enough number to insure success of the project. Those letters were addressed to all professional men and women, pastors of the largest churches, school teachers, postoffice emplies, all the business people and many of the leading citizens. Having abiding confidence in our leaders and believing that their cooperation in this matter is assured, I will shortly prepare the list of subscriptions that have come in for publication. If you have not sent in yours, kindly do so at once. Yours for a Greater Richmond and for the restoration of Colored Richmond to its former position in Racial Progress. B. L.
