This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR Virginia State Library THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XLII, NO. 23 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925. PRICE, FIVE CENTS DR. JAMES B. DUDLEY BURIED FROM A. & T. COLL.. GREENSBORO Dr James B. Dudley, President of the Agricultural and Technical College at Greensboro, N. C., since 1896 died at his home at 9:45 P. M, Saturday, April 4, of apoplexy. He had suffered two strokes before, which had greatly weakened him. He was not the first president of the College as many seem to think. The first president was Dr. J. O. Crossby, of Salisbury, who held the position from 1891 to 1896. But it was under President Dudley that the school really took hold and began to claim the serious attention and confidence of both races. And it has grown. He found fifty students; he left over five hundred. He found physical equipment worth about a hundred thousand dollars; he left it worth a million. North Carolina has hardly produced another man who has been as able as Dr. Dudley to get and hold the confidence of both races, the public press, the different governors and legislatures in the interest of his school during the nearly thirty years of his administration. The 'meral' services were held in Murphy Hall the new dining hall so recently finished and dedicated. Fifly ten hundred persons were present, including a large number of very prominent men of both races, several of whom paid tributes to his life and work. Among those who spoke were Prof. M. C. S. Noble, chairman of the Board of Trustees and forty years an intimate friend of Dr. Dudley's: Hon. A. M. Scales, member of the Board and former Senator; Prof. W. C. Jackson, Vice-President of N. C. College for Women and Dr. J. R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church. The services were conducted by Rev. C. E. Stroud, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which Dr. Dudley was for many years an active member. After the funeral, the body lay in state in Murphy Hall until 10:00 P. M., when it left to be taken to Wilmington. N. C., his native home. There was a military escort and "taps" were sounded as, for the last time, he passed under the arch. A final farewell was again sounded as the train bearing the remains pulled out from the station. A special Pullman car on the same train carried the family and friends to Wilmington where, with his family and friends who had gone before, he was laid to rest with full Masonic honors. At the exercises in Wilmington, many more prominent men of both races spoke, testifying to the long and useful life of the deceased; of his gentleness, his self-sacrifice, and his services to the Race, the State and the Country. Dr. Dudley is survived by his widow, Mrs. S. B Dudley, a daughter, Mrs. S. B, Jones, whose husband, Dr. S. B, Jones, is health officer of St. Kitts, British West Indies. BLUFORD ACTING PRESIDENT. Monday, April 6, at a call meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, Prof F. D. Bluford, Dean of the institution, was elected Acring President to fill out the unexpired term of the late President Dudley. Prof Bluford has been connected with the institution for twelve years, six of which he has been Dean. He is a graduate of Union and Howard Universities and has studied at Columbia University.

WILL MARVIN MURDERED BY FLEEING THIEF Lone Colored Man Chases the Burglar Meets Death on St. James St.-Efforts Being Made to Find Murderer. Will Marvin, a colored man, who occupied a room at Paul L. Donaldson's residence, 15 W. Clay street, and boarded in the same apartment there with Frank McQueen, was shot twice and killed on St. James street, between Leigh and Jackson streets, near the mouth of the alley Saturday morning, April 11th, shortly before 6 o'clock by a colored man, who had a few moments previously gotten out of the grocery store and market of Henry Mallory, at 101 E. Clay street on the corner of First street. The man doing the shooting escaped at the time and the police have been making a determined effort to locate him. DISCOVERED BURGLAR IN STORE Frank McQueen states that he left home before 6 o'clock. Will Marvin having preceded him to the corner by about four or five minutes. Both were to take the car at the corner of Clay and First streets to go to Bryan Park, where they were employed. When he reached the corner he saw his bourrier on the other side of First street by Mallory's Market. The glass in the door to Mallory's Market had been broken out and a man had put his leg over through the door to get out. As he did so Marvin went up to him and a saffire took place. BURGLAR DREW REVOLVER The man got out and then drew a revolver on William. McQueen says he ran back up Clay street to tell Henry Mallory, the proprietor, who resides at 17. W. Clay, next door to Donaldson. While there, he heard two shots and later learned that his companion had been shot and killed on St. James street, about two blocks and a half from Mallory's Market. D. H. Miller, who resides upstairs in the house, in front of which the murder too place, says he heard some men talking outside. He was in bed. He heard the two shots and when he looked out, he saw a man lying on the ground. DIED IN TEN MINUTES The man died in about ten minutes without making any statement. McQueen stated that he did not know exactly how the man spelled his name. It sounded like William Marvin. He did not know where he came from. He thought he was from Tennessee. Mr. Mallory found that eggs and other supplies had been piled up for removal and it seems that the man in the store was waiting for an automobile or a truck to remove the goods, when the affair took place. Others were concerned in the robbery and the police have arrested two suspects. The remains were turned over to William Isaac Johnson Sons. They are anxious to locate some of the relatives of the deceased --- DR. KING AT GOODWILL BAPTIST CHURCH, FRIDAY, 24TH. Dr. T. J.

HE'S OUT AGAIN WILL GIVE OPEN AIR CONCERTS IN FRONT OF PLANET OFFICE. One of the features of the coming convention of the Improved Benevolen Protective Order Elks of the World to be held in this city the last full week in August of this year will be the appearance here of Monarch Band, that crack musical outfit under the famous Lieut. Simpson, of New York City. At the Elks convention held in Chicago two years ago, Monarch Band won the annual band contest, over a field that covered every part of the country. Again, in Pittsburgh last year, Monarch Band beat every band and captured first prize. This year it is said that several Elk bands have been practicing in an effort to take the laurels away from the New York band. To do this it will be an extremely hard task, as Monarch Band today is conceded up around New York as one of the country's finest bands regardless of color. mnest bands regardless of color. Last week the band was again placed on the list of those musical organizations which will play in the city parks of Greater New York this summer at the expense of the city of New York. This is not only an honor but means a lucrative employment for the last year Monarch Band, led by Lieut. Simpson had the honor of being the first colored band to play in the parks of New York City. So well did they perform and so popular was their playing that Mayor Hylan of New York City personally saw to it that the band was again included in the bands to play this year. During the Elks Convention in this city the band will give one or two free open air concerts in front of the Richmond Planet office, under the direction of this newspaper, giving the people of Richmond an opportunity to hear this wonderful aggregation of musical stars. Their concerts are famous in New York and include some of the most difficult classical music interspersed with many of the popular selections. Richmond folks will look anxiously forward to the appearance of Monarch Band in this city. The band is allied with the famous Mi-Tee Mon Arch Lodge of Elks, No. 45 of New York City. Rev. Dr. Hatcher Comes Again. He Replies to Prof. Hancock of Virginia Union University=Neither Medium Nor Seer=Not in Rev. John Jasper's Light E. RICE MC KINNEY REPLIES TO REV. DR. HATCHER S DEFENSE The gentleman mentioned last week in connection with a sermon preached supporting the astronomical ideas of Joshua and Rev. John Jasper, has replied in a lengthy brief, surpassing even his published sermon This college trained preacher says that he is a "Fundamentalist". What is a Fundamentalist? Is it necessary to believe that the sun revolves around the earth to be a Fundamentalist? As a matter of fact, it was the Fundamentalists, of His day, who put Christ to death. It was the Fundamentalists who persecuted Galilee; who instituted the Spanish Inquisition; the Salem Witchcraft; and the Fundamentalists in the Protestant Episcopal Church who were the back bone of slavery in the South. A Fundamentalist is nothing more than the same old reactionary strutting forth in a brand new "obe". Like the reactionary in politics and economies he is a barrier, an obstacle to civilization to climb over and batter down. He is the fellow whose eyes are on the golden age of the past. We hear him talk about men growing weaker and wiser, and more wicked. The Negro race is filled to over- flowing with these "Fundamentalist" gentlemen. They are everywhere and in everything. They keep us poor, ignorant and weak. But, some day, we will revolt and then someone will have to get another job or starve --- LEIGH ST. M. E. CHURCH HAS AN ABE. PASTOR. Members and friends of Leigh St. Memorial M. E. Chrch were impressed very much last Sunday by Rev. Dr. Williams, the new pastor, who has assumed pastoral charge here. His Easter message was "If a Man Dies Shall He Live Again." He proves to be a man of learning, energy and wisdom, and comprehensive in his intellectual capacity. He handled his theme in a master by manner. Dr. Williams said, among other things that man have riled to answer this great question. "Science says he may live again; Philosophy says he hopes to live again; Ethics say he ought to live again," but this brilliant orator said, "the Bible has answered this question conclusively, that a man shall live again." We predict a brilliant future for this young divine at Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church. —WTS In Memoriam. CHILES—In sad but sweet remembrance of our dearly beloved one, Marietta L.

GAINES We held our fourth and last Quarter's Conference of the Conference year on March 31, 1925. Presiding Elder G. W Brown presided. Many changes have been made in our Church since Dr. Gaines has been our pastor. The membership has increased 35 percent. The weekly offerings have run above normal and in addition the membership of the Church has increased from three to five each Sunday. The Sunday School and Christian Endeavor have also increased at the same rate. ..... Attending the District Conference last week we found that Hood Temple was in the lead of the whole Petersburg District. We have raised from all sources for the past eight months $7.524.46, almost an average of $1.000.00 per month. We are planning for our Spring Rally on the fourth Sunday in April and are asking the prayers of all Churches, that it may be a success. Come to Hood Temple, corner of Adam and Clay streets. Services every Sunday at 11:00 A. M. and 7:30 P. M. You are welcome.

Pastor PRICE, FIVE CENTS ner Again. k of Virginia Medium Nor asper's Light 'THE CRUCIFIXION OF TRUTH', BEING A REPLY TO PROF. G. B. HANCOCK, FOR HIS UNWAR- HANTED ATTACK UPON MY SERMON ON THE MOTION OF THE SUN (By Rev. James S. Hatcher) "And thou too professor Hancock?" Sure y this is the "Hand of Esau but the voice of a Jacob". Wherever the Gospel is faithfully preached there is either a "ritor or a revival", sometimes both. So we have both in this instance. I am not surprised that the riot and revival are on, but I am surprised, my dear sir, that you, a man ordained to declare "the whole counsel of God", should be among the "Masters of the Demonstrat of Philippi" (Acts 16:16-24). The Truth has been shamefully CRUCIFIED in every point of your attack. First, you claim that I have desecrated John Jasper. More than 700 persons crowded into my church to hear the sermon, and many who heard have congratulated me on the respect, and reverence which I paid him. Secondly, you assume that because I have "degrees" and "ministerial paraphernalia" that I could not have the "Truth". Listen brother, have you forgotten that "the wise men from the East" found Jesus as well as the humble "shepherds of Bethlehem?" QUESTIONS PROPOUNDED. Again, is it charitable and unkind to judge a man's motives when you have not even heard his words? You have never heard me, you say. Well why not? I am here; and, since I "did exceeding trouble your city" and since it is generally conceded that I could not do these miracles (see reply to Mr. McKinney) except "God be with me", why not have the honesty of Nicodemus and "come by night"? Judges thou a man most learned professor, before thou heartest him? Cruel! Further, you would have a code of ministerial ethics to safeguard the "popularity of ministers", while you set yourself to the task of destroying any good impression that I have made. I hereby appoint you chairman of the committee on ways and means to construct, "this code of ethics". Act immediately and report at once. And,—you charge me with association with the unseen world. Sir, I am neither a medium nor a spiritualist. I do not frequent the abode of "the dead". I cannot "step out of John Jasner's light". PLAY FAIR If I am so in error in declaring the "Motion of the Sun", in a simple Gospel sermon in which I was simply contending for the Omnipotence of God, why don't you reach on the "Stillness of the Sun" and invite the people to hear you? Mine was not a discussion of astronomical theories, but a positive affirmation of a "thus saith the Lord". You write and reason like a "school boy". You say in one place that there are many ministers who could preach "John Jasner's sermon (which (Continued on Page 8) SPECIAL SERVICES AT FOURTH BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday, April 19th will be a great day at the Fourth Baptist Church. 28th and P streets.

FOREST DIAGRAM SHOWING HOW THE LAND AREA OF THE UNITED STATES IS DIVIDED. Folks supposedly "in the know" have prophesied that in a few years, with population increasing at its present rate. America's supply of agricultural products won't be enough to feed her people and we must turn to foreign lands for our farm produce. President Coolidge made a prediction to this effect in his recent message to Congress. But an extensive survey by experts of the Agricultural Department's Bureau of Agricultural Economics seems to ease all doubts on that score. Statisticians estimate that by 1950 the country's population will be 150 million. **COULD SUPPORT 330,000,000** The agricultural experts—L. C. Gray, O. E. Eaker, F. J. Marschner and B. O. Weitz—found that it will be an easy matter to supply that number. They found that in a pinch the country could support a population of 300 million! They showed that there were 973 million acres of potential crop land in the United States at the time of the survey. Only 365 million acres of the land were in production of crops. This left a surplus of 605 million acres in reserve! A great deal of this surplus must of course, be used for forests and pasture. But much of it is interchangeable—that is, it could be used for forest and pasture in rotation, and would be improved by the process. Still more of the surplus is now either too wet or too dry for crops, but could be put in shape by drainage or irrigation. This, however, will be scarcely necessary for many years to come. The experts figure that by adding only 38 million acres to our present crop land we could not only support a population of 150 million but could still devote half our present acreage to production for export* INTENSIVE CULTIVATION For this 38-million-acre expansion there are now available 220 million acres of forest land capable of use for crops; 162 million acres of medium textured soils which could be improved by fertilization, and great-stretches of land suitable for dry farming. When this is used up we can reclaim millions of acres by irrigation and drainage. And when this is done we can still increase our yield by intensive cultivation. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DR. GEORGE E. CANNON POLITICAL LEADER DIES IN JERSEY INJURED ALIGHTING FROM BUS SECONDED NOMINATION OF PRESIDENT COOLIDGE. JERSEY CITY, N. J. April 17. Dr. George E. Cannon, physician, and a national leader of the Republican members of the race, who delivered a speech seconding the nomination of Calvin Coolidge at the Clevel and Convention last Spring, died Sunday morning at his home, here at the age of 56. His death was due to injuries received, a week previous when he fell on alighting from a bus near his residence, fracturing several ribs and receiving a concussion of the brain. He railed for a time following the accident but sank rapidly after midnight Sunday. He leaves a wife, a son, George Cannon, and a daughter, Miss Gladys Cannon, his mother and four sisters, one of whom is Miss Etta Cannon, secretary of the Henry Sunder Junior High School here. Dr. Cannon was born in Carlisle, Pa. and was graduated from Lincoln University, taking his medical degree in 1900 at New York Pathological College. For the last thirty-three years he had resided in Jersey City. In the primaries of April, last year he received the largest number of votes, which would by custom have entitled him to the chairmanship of the delegation to the Republican National Convention, but he relinquished the honor in favor of Senator Walter E. Edge. In the following July he presided at a large meeting of Negroes which endorsed the candidacy for reelection of Senator Edge who had worked for the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. On several occasions Dr. Cannon appeared as a spokesman for the race who showed their support by re-electing him President of the National Colored Republican Conference in Atlantic City last summer FULTON NOTES.

Though the time of this decision was as far back as 1880, immediately following a similar finding in the case of Strauder against West Virginia and Rives against Virginia, it is obvious that the decision holds good today and that Delaware Negroes have slept on their rights in submitting to non-jury service rather than invoking the findings of the U. S. Supreme Court and using every means at their disposal to see that State laws and customs are kept in harmony with, and not in contravention to, the law as announced from the bench of our highest tribunal. That Negroes are entitled to sit upon Delaware juries goes without saying; and it is equally true that the Negro candidate for a place in the Delaware legislature last fall was sidetracked by technical instrumentalities of evasion needs no proof. In the same way, there are dozens of remedies for other grievous wrongs inflicted by oppressors of the minority race in this country. Lack of diligence and initiative are poor tools with which to break down prejudice. Howling over mistreatment, when the key to unlock the door of oppression is lying close by within arms reach, is poor business. Financial contributions and platform oratory mean little when there are effective remedies of combat, which are going to mould and decay because of non-use. Mandamuses and other effective writs, if carried through to a finish, are worth ten nights on an auditorium stage. Did Neal and Strauder and Rives and the dozens of other Negroes who fought their fights through to the U. S. Supreme Court in the late seventies and early eighties have more temerity and manhood than we of today" If so, then it is time for us to migrate far away from the rights of a free country, and once again enter serfdom, protesting neither against its trials nor bemoaning our fate. "Equity awards the vigilant". Authoritative reports indicate that certain unscrupulous American employers are stealthily engaged in the business of "bootlegging" Mexican labor across the Mexican border into the United States, where it is used to compete with American labor, white and black, accepting a low wage and contributing unwholesomely to an unfavorable social life, where they colonize in appreciable numbers. It is revealed at Washington that request after request has been made of Congress for legislation which would put Mexico under the same quota regulations as are the European nations and other foreign countries. Also it is stated that it is virtually impossible to patrol the Mexican border, and that, consequently, thousands of the swarthy folks from below the Rio Grande are in the United States, without legal right, where they are the victims of employers who have but little regard for their countrymen's dinner pails. It is a fact that Negroes have been frequently displaced by Mexicans, and that they By "THE CAMERAMAN." 4—DR. GEORGE E. CANNON. (President News Service) have been used as "bumpers" in other unethical practice of employment. That the practice is menacing the equanimity of home labor conditions needs no proof. Since the "Made in Germany" inscriptions have become so decidedly unpopular in America it would be well, too, if "Made by Mexican labor" were eradicated from the annals of American industry, and that black men be given preference. Certainly, they deserve priority over Mexican "bootleg" labor, and, in fact, over any type of unnaturalized foreign labor. Self-protection is one of the fundamentals of American industry, which should adhere solidly to American labor, white and black. Employers who are not sufficiently Americanized to pay patriotic tribute to the abilities of American workmen, regardless of race, should be made to market their goods in the country whose labor exponents they exploit to the terror of American labor. THE POLITICAL HORIZON Silhouetted against the political horizon can be seen the time-old question mark of one-man leadership for the BRETHREN. That it merely a vision goes without saying. Yet, "kindergarten" students of the political game are fearfully prophesying that again, as in the days of the late Booker T. Washington, one man may become the human microphone for the political program of the race, naming appointees and otherwise deciding Who's Who and Why in patronage, legislation and organization. These youthful philosophers say that the political factions within the race are as hopelessly divided as ever; that voteless and voting leaderships are at the crossroads; and that the powers that be are dissatisfied with the alleged differences existing between various groups, which are laying claim, either ostensibly or otherwise, to associate dictatorship in events which involve the Negro. Nothing could be more far-fetched or untrue. Chairman Butler of the Republican National Committee, carried forward last year's campaign with a very definite organization sorted and systematized by competents of his own choice. The results of the organization were outstanding. Out of chaos, there came order and efficiency. A very definitely formed group of race men and women did their bit in bringing about the triumphant election of Mr. Coolidge, and the same definitely-formed group is now apparently functioning frictionlessly, faultlessly and faithfully through the most perfect internal machine that has ever yet been assembled. .... Surely there is not thought of scrapping such a machine, even though a "dog-in-the manger" attitude might pervade the minds of a disgruntled few, who, in a spirit of revenge might attempt to promote again one-man dictatorship. That day, however, is politically Medieval. It has been transcended by effective voting organizations, and the potential strength of coalition among competents, highly satisfactory to the entire rank and file of the Race: for a tree shall be known by the fruit it bears.

Dr. Cannon lived a very useful life, and with deepest respect for his fellow citizens of New Jersey, it will be difficult to find a man to take his place in that State. The deceased physician was an astute and an honorable politician. Though of the old school of politics, he imbibed enough of the new to temper his policies of leadership with aggressiveness, at the same time retaining poise, dignity and method which commanded the respect of all who knew him. Dr. Cannon called a spade a spade, having the courage of his convictions and a diplomatic finesse which made a deep impression upon those with whom he had political contact. He placed Race above party and worked zealously for its advancement. With slight disintegration besetting the ranks of the colored voters of New Jersey and the need for progressive organization throughout the State, Dr. Cannon will be sadly missed during the coming months, until some one else has proved himself worthy to essav to wear the mantle so hastily laid aside by Dr. Cannon, who, until Death summoned him, gave his best years to service, commanding respect even from his foes and love from his friends.

Panther Beats The strong Virginia Union University baseball team almost shut out the formidable Virginia Normal nine in a slow one-sided game staged by fore a colorful and picturesque crowd of baseball fans at Hovey Park, Easter Monday. After holding the visitors scoreless for 7 innings and having accumulated 6 runs, Merritt allowed a few scattered hits and his opponents tallied twice, making the final score 8-2. The moundsmans for the visitors twirled good ball, but they could not hit the varied offerings of Merritt. Union's entire team gave air-tight support to their pitcher, whose work was the real feature of the game. Shields, Jackson and Edgar were the batting stars for Union. Union has won 5 out of 7 games this season and it is believed that the Panthers are well on their way towards the season's championship honors. --- The "four horsemen" tretted away to a clean victory over the quartet of Union track men in the mile relay Easter Monday as a prelim to the baseball game.

Both pitchers showed good form and control; Marlin having the edge by striking out eleven and allowing only three hits, while Hopkins struck out four and allowed seven hits. Until the last half of the eighth in looked like a shutout for State, but Hopkins, himself first man up, would not bear the ignoring of this, got on base by laying down a bunt on his third strike, stole second, was passed to third on wild throw and came in home for the first and only tally that State College through determined effort was able to make.

F3 LUCINDA PRICE TO PLEAD GUILTY; THREE YEARS IS SENTENCE (Richmond Times-Dispatch, Apr. 16) Something of the old halo of notoriety that surrounded them in the days of their prosperity encompassed "Catty" and Lucinda Price, leaders of the "Friendly Inn" group when the sturdy broadshouldered Price and his sturdier and more rotund wife, smartly dressed, made their entry yesterday into the United States Court chamber through a corridor jammed with dusky friends and admirers. "Good luck, Caty. Good luck, Cindy," voices in the corridor called after them. It had been bruited about that "Catty" and Lucinda would be there to "set siege with the government". And they were there for that purpose. With several indictments standing against them, the most serious be ing the charge of attempting to bribe Officers K. K. Woodside, Wiltshire, Turner and Wickham by the payment of $1.200 for immunity for arrest, a orneys for the Prices, Harry M. Smith, Jr. and Erham Smith, had negotiated with District Attorney Paul Kear and Assistant District Attorney Callum B. Jones in the interest of their clients with some degree of success. The government attorneys had entered into an agreement with the Smiths after obtaining the approval of the *the Attorney-General* of the U. S. The Attorney-General wired his consent last Tuesday to the arrangement, whereby the cases of the Prices should not get to the jury, but be settled in court. It is understood that terms suggested by the Messrs. Smith were accepted by the District Attorneys to apply only to the indictment for bribery. The indictments charging the possession of cocaine and handling whisky were to be something separate and apart and submitted to jury trial. The agreement, as set forth to Judge D. Lawrente Groner was this: The indictment against "Catty" Price was to be dismissed. Lucinda Price was to plead guilty to one count of the indictment and take the maximum punishment of three years in Arinta. BOSTON ATTORNEY APPPOINTED TO U. S.

SECY WILBUR WANTS REPORT. THE LAST CHAPTER. Speaking of economy, Mr. President, what is gained by sending the American army polo players to compete with Great Britain's army players across the ocean? Six army players, with twenty-five ponies and thirteen grooms, sailed on the Atlantic transport liner Minnetonka last week. Are those grooms American soldiers? Did they enlist to be used as private servants for gentlemen playing polo? Does it make the army more efficient, in these days of tanks and flying machines, to have officers knocking little white balls along the grass? Who authorizes the expedition? How do you think it will strike the average farmer? Thirteen grooms for twenty-five ponies will seem a good many to him. He and his hired man take care of ten horses and cows, besides plowing. They don't manicure their horses hoofs. A lady of Spokane demands a divorce because her husband, at breakfast, milked a goat directly into his cup of coffee. He keeps the goat in the house.

Young men hat perhaps envied and admired young Wood, son of General Wood, when he was gambling and winning in Wall Street, and envied and wondered more as they read the usual lies about his tremendous gambling profits in Europe, should not miss the last chapter of the story. It came with young Wood's return to this country, in reply to a reporter's question. "Yes," said Wood, "I made it in speculation; but what a jack-ass I was to go and lose it all!" That's the kind of jackass that gambling usually produces. Take warning against stocks, horse races, cards or get - rich - quick schemes. Secretary Wilbur, according to a dispatch to the New York Times, is worried. It seems that eleven warships, with all their anti-aircraft guns, blazing away to the limit at an aircraft target, (were unable to score even one single hit.) The Secretary has demanded a report, and that is a good idea. A better idea would be to build about four thousand fast, fighting airplanes. What do you think half a dozen bombing airships, would have done to those eleven warships while they were shooting off their comic opera anti-aircraft guns? Warships are obsolete. Battleships are merely big hulks, easy targets for aerial bombs.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Poem by Uncle John Poem by Uncle John The first of all film-flam merchant's jokes, is to wink at the crowd, an' call it "folks." Of course we remember an earlier day, when "folks" was the proper word to say—when human kinship was every- where, and, most of our deainl's was on the square—Away back yander where memory dims, when "folks" and friendship was synonyms; When hearts was as staunch as the towerin' oaks, O, them was the days when folks was folks. But, here of late, it occurs to me, that "folks" aint the term that it used to be—I can't figger out but one result — it's vulgar an' coarse when it aint insult! The shell-game fakir and 3-card sport—and the tinnhorn gambler are all of a sort, —You can look in their eye, an' detect the hoax, as they mount their goods-box an' call ye —"folks." The snide promoter is fair to see, but he can't put nothin' acrost on me—He may yapper an' spiel till the day he croaks—but the stuff's all off, when he calls me "folks."

At the point of a sun the Wreck takes five gallons from a passable road. After charlie McWeen, foreman of a ranch along the route, hides in the backyard and forces salty to act as ranch cook. Then they discover that Mr. Morgan in the car which they held up Sheriff Lob Wells. Salty's fiance, is unintentionally searching who held up Underwood. Chester Underwood's son, finds the hidden car on the road. Chester shows the car and Chester to show them to the car and then they make an escape. Now they must escape or to go back to her father's ranch. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY But it might be easier to go to Chicago, even if she did not buy a trousseau there. There were different situations in the way of an early return to the East Mild; it would entail explanations that she did not want to make, not so much on her own account as on that of the Wreckt. She felt that if worst came to worst, she could justify her own course fairly well. But she did not know whether she could clear Henry Williams. Every wonderful thing he had done was on her own account, she knew, and not for all the world would she be let him take the consequences single handed. If they went back to the War Mild she did not see how she could invent a story that would cover the situation. Certainly, she did not propose to tell the truth. She did not propose to tell the truth, nor did she invest in it—but there was Henry Williams to be considered. And the welfare of Henry Williams was those ethical considerations.

He shook his head violently. "Bad as ever," he said. "Flerce." "Henry, that's nonsense. You eat like a horse and you sleep like an old cat. I don't believe there's a thing the matter with your nerves." "What do you know about it?" he demanded. "I'm the person that knows, I can feel 'em. If you had my nerves strung through your stem you'd be jumping around like masshopper. You'd be just what I—am a wreck." "But you're not a wreck That's just one of your silly ideas."

"I'll go somewhere else," he said stubbornly. "Don't be silly." That was as near as she would go to tell him exactly what she thought. If he was bound to rest his nerves in Montana, she did not know of any better place than the Bar-M. In fact, she did not know of any place which would serve so well. Even if he became a sort of permanent boarder, she did not see that the family would be inconvenienced. There was plenty of room. "Oh, I'll bother somebody else for a while," he assured her. It sounded to Sally as though he regarded his nerves as so many toys, and that if she did not like his toys he would take them to some other place and play. So she laughed. "We're always getting into some absurd controversy, Henry. And here we are, right in the middle of an escape. By rights, we ought to be serious. Are you sure that you hid all the saddles?" It was a change of subject that WONDERFUL! AT LAST YOU lasted them until the conversation again died into monosyllables, and then wholly ceased for miles.

There was an unequanimity about flesh that often amazed her. Only his nerves gave him the least concern "Hungry?" she asked "Sure." She wrapped a package of sand wiches and handed him one. He made three bites of it. He accepted another, then a third, and they vanished in the same fashion "Lilie em?" she ventured "They're great." "Wonderful! At last you admit I'm a cook. Henry I even baked the bread, you know." He gave her a quizzical glance. "What's all this business about cooking, anyhow?" he asked "Never mind. It's something like a joke, I think. Perhaps I'll tell you some day." "All right. Can I have another one?" She was smiling as she gave him the fourth sandwich and watched it disappear. The fliver was snorting along famously, and Sally propped herself back in the seat and enjoyed herself. It was good to feel free again on the open road. She would even have been willing to try cutting across the range, if there was need With This Deep One Ills from Newport, Oregon. It is by Beach, California.

He laid it to a nervous exclamation from which he would presently react, in all probability, but while it lasted he proposed to make the most of it. After a little they began discussing training going east. Sally, still somewhat doubtful as to whether she was really destined for Chicago, said that she did not believe they would make the railroad that night. The Wreck, strangely enough, agreed with her. He was keen concerned about their goal than about the fact that they were in motion, going somewhere. "When it gets to be daylight," she said, "I'm afraid we're likely to find the main road risk." "Don't tell me you're dreaming of making a fight if we meet them," she exclaimed. "I was only wondering how big it was." "It doesn't make any difference. Even Bob Wells, alone, is big enough." "Is he?" She shook her head impatiently. "You don't understand. I'm not saying you're not able to fight. What I mean is that we mustn't meet them at all. Of course, Bob wouldn't do anything to me. But we can't afford even to let him see us. And besides, we need the sleep for sleep by daylight." "Oh." So it seems to me that the sensible thing to do is to turn off the road before it gets light, if we can find a place, and hide until it gets dark again." They discussed it for a while, and he agreed with her. He had no doubt of his ability to skip a night's sleep if necessary, but there was no need to ask the same hardship of Sally. So they decided to find another hide-out as soon as it seemed wise to desert the road. Meanime, the viverra ran farther and farther behind. Sally sat wondering what Charley McSween was saying, what Chester was doing, what everybody was thinking. She was afraid that Charley was having a difficult time of it with the boss of the ranch, and there were points about Charley that she admired. Of course, he had no business to kidnap them in the beginning, and it was intolerable for him to be alone for a month. But in other respects she found Charley McSween rather agreeable. The Wreck was not thinking about Charley at all. He was not thinking of anything in particular, for that matter. He was in a mood of unusual content, his conscience clear his mind restful, his feminism unshaken. All he asked was to keep driving indecently, to preserve of a woman's presence, of a woman's life, and not disturb him. The guy still both and if it came to a punch line he could be relied upon to do things in fact, she was just as good as a man, he admitted to himself. "We mustn't forget to look for a turn out," she reminded him, after she glanced at her watch and studied the stars. The moon had already dipped below the horizon. Each watched their own side of the road, the bolting beam of the headlights spreading itself sufficiently wide to illuminate any turn-out they might reach. Sally discovered what appeared to be a regular wagon road on her own side, but after an examination they decided against it. There were signs of recent use and she feared that it might belong to another ranch. They were not in a hurry to meet any more hunters. Considerably later, the Wreck stopped the car and called attention to what looked like a trail, branching off to the left. Sally got out and examined it. There were wheel ruts, but they were overgrown. Where led, it presented, every asleep abandonment. Sally did not ber it at all, she had no when they passed that.

First break in history made by the inventor, L. Dickerson, of Nesting, Va. from evidence obtained from at least 200 citizens of the United States, both white and colored, and all testify to the same, that the photograph of Dickerson's invention is the first photograph of a Negro's invention that has ever been seen in this country. The $500 reward for any substantiation on this machine still holds good and a postcard photograph may be obtained at $1.00 each. Address L.

THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND FIGHT BEGUN ON TEXAS PRIMARY LAW WHICH DISFRANCHISES NEGRO Democratic primary constitutes the entire machinery of election to office in most of the Southern States, this case involves the only effective way of striking a blow for the Negro's right to vote. In undertaking a vigorous prosecution of the case known as Nixon vs. Herndon, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People feels it is performing a service not aicue to the Negro but to all America; masmuch as the nation borough system of the South affords the entire. Nation with shameless violation of the 13th. 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution. "As the case will be an expensive one the N. A. A. C.

HATCHER REPLIES I have never attempted to preach: I preached James S. Harcher's sermon) and almost in the same breath, you dechure that "John Jasper alone could preach on the "Motion of the Sun". What allie thee, Maccheh? You ask if my Church sends out men who believe not "the most elementary facts of science". Let me inform you, dear sir, that I did not get my "commission" from my Church but from the Man with the sicker hands. Furthermore, I was not sent to preach "the most elementary facts of science", but to preach "Jesus and the Resurrection". And if I choose to do it under the subject: "The Sun Moves", what is that to thee?" THE SEAT OF TROUBLE Why this howl because a minister dares repeat the language of Moses, Isaiah, Solomon and Jesus! It is not because you are so jealous for the immortal John Jasper; not because you are bound to defend the theory of Nicolas Copernicus—for then you would have quarreled with Robotham, the founder of the Zetetic School of Philosophy, who holds "that the earth is a flat disk with the north pole at its center and that the Sun and other heavenly bodies are lights in the firmament, circling over the earth around the pro star as a center. (This is the only astronomical THEORY that accords with Holy Writ.) Rur, dear brother, I fear that you are having trouble in explaining away to certain persons a number of things which they hear and feel at Bethel.

An attack in the courts on the Texas "White Primary" law, which specifically debars Negroes from voting in the Democratic primaries, and which will constitute the opening of a general attack upon disfranchisement of colored people in the South, is announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Average New York City, Messrs. F. C. Knollenberg and R. H. Chanel, of El Paso have been retained to conduct the case in the Texas courts and with them, in the event of appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court, will be associated Moorfield Storey of Boston, former president of the American Bar Association and James A. Cobb of Washington, former special assist ant to the U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The present case arises out of the denial to Dr. L. A. Nixon, qualified voter, of the right to participate in the primary election at El Paso. The refusal to permit Dr. Nixon to vote in the primaries is based upon an act passed in May, 1923 by the Texas legislature, read as follows: "Any qualified voter under the laws and constitution of the State of Texas, who is a bona fide member of the Democratic Party, shall be eligible to participate in any Democratic primary election, provided such voter compiles with all laws and rules governing party primary elections; however in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic Party primary election held in the State of Texas and should a Negro vote in a Democratic primary election, such ballot shall be void and election officials are herein directed to throw out such ballot and not count the same". It is contended by the Advancement Association that under the system of one party dominance in Southern States where candidates for office are virtually elected in the primaries, to debark any class of voters from the primaries is in effect to disfranchise them. The constitutionality of the Texas statute and of other similar statutes throughout the South is involved in the case. Decision has already been rendered against Dr. Nixon and the El Paso Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, by the Federal District Court and the case is now being appealed. A statement on the case issued by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, says: "It is clearly evident that decision in this case will profoundly affect the Negro in America. So long as Negroes can be deprived of free access to the ballot because of their color, just so long can their economic, legal political and other rights be disrese garded with impunity.

HI-JA CHEMICAL COMPANY Atlanta, Georgia Dispute the motion of the Sun to be in line with Copernicus; and like others you soon dispute the Virgin Birth of Jesus to be in line with Fosdick, Grant and others. And whither will this infidelity lead? If Jesus was not conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, then God is n. liar, Mary an harlot, Joseph a forcitor, and Jesus a bastard; and listen keenly, no bastard saviour, with a lying father and an harlot mother can save me. Well, the same Bible which says that Jesus was born of a virgin, says that, "The Earth Hue Corners and the Sun Moves", and so do I. Exit, Professor Gordon B Hancock! Next!
