This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR THE RICHMOND PLANET HELPING THE ORPHANS OF RICHMOND The Doctrine of Self-Help-An Interesting Program-W. E. Johnson Presides. VOLUME XLII. NO. 31 HELPI OR GOV. E. L. A Large C Greet Virg The Doctrine ing Program Last Sunday was in the nature of a celebration, when other organizations joined with Capital City Lodge, No. 11, I. B. P. O. Elks of World, in giving a sacred concert on the grounds of the Friends Orphan Asylum, St. Paul and Charity Streets to aid that institution. There were four bands, Capital City Lodge, St. Joseph's, Williams Lodge and Rose of Sharon Bands in line. It was 5:30 P. M. when William E. Johnson, P. E. R. Chairman, called the meeting to order. The preliminaries took up so much time GOVERNOR E. LEE TRINKLE. that it was 6:45 before Hon. H. M. Smith proceeded to introduce His Excellency, Gov. E. Lee Trinkle. A police escort had been provided under the command of Sergeant Robert Crafton and the handling of this part of the proceedings was perfect. REV DR JOHNSON SPEAKS Capital City Band rendered "My Country 'Tis of Thee' while the audience joined in. Rev. R. Beecher Taylor prayed and then music was rendered by St. Joseph's Band. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. delivered a short, appropriate address of welcome. Mr. W. H. Lewis responded. Mrs. Bette G. Cousins spoke and introduced Mrs. Ora B. Stokes, who delivered an extended address and asked the men for contributions. Mr. J. H. Moore followed in an appeal to the women. Then a lengthy list of organizations was read and the amount appropriated by each one announced. INTRODUCED THE GOVERNOR. It was 6:45 when Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. was announced to introduce He Excellency. E Lee Trinkle, Governor of Virginia. Among other things, Mr. Smith said: "My friends, it is a great pleasure and I consider I am highly honored in being invited here on this occasion". At this point by some misunderstanding, the band began to play. Mr. Smith laughingly announced that he could not speak against a brass band. How ever, he was soon able to proceed. "I think", said he, "we are on the eve of a propitious time. I think there is a great future for the Negro. EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. "I believe that we white people now generally believe in the equality of rights for you before the law. It has been my purpose to see that the colored man has equal and exac justice. He declared that the bar barous period in a people's civilization might be measured by the care that they showed toward people less fortunate than themselves. Colored people had been criftcosed for a lack of vision. It seemed to him that no people who on such a hot day as that's would be preparing to install a heating plant could be charged with such a lack of vision. HIS EXCELLENCY SPEAKS He then proceeded in a most graceful manner to introduce His Excellency, E. Lee Trinkle, Governor of Virginia. The distinguished Virginia, among other things said: "Mr. Chairman and my colored friends, I am a sensible man and you must be bred. I am in the position this afternoon of coming at the end of the program". He related a story of some people coming to a cross road where they found a man dangling at the end of a rope. A placard plinned on him read "In statu quo". Others coming up were enquiring what it meant. A TEACHER'S DEFINITION Finally a teacher in the neighborhood came up and was asked the meaning of the sign. His reply was "That means that fellow is in a devil of a fix". He stated that coming on at the end of the program and others having said practically all that he might have said, he was in the predicament of the man described. He then remarked, "It is my wish that the white people of Virginia so arrange their affairs that everybody may have a home to which they can. Times have changed and colored people have greater opportunities themselves and they must make the best of them to the end that they must look after their own interests and not expect us to look after them for them." SELF RELIANCE AND SELF-HELP "They should fall in and work to make this world a better and happier place in which to live. He urged self-reliance and self-help." At the conclusion of his remarks, he was rapturously applauded. The visitors then retired while the work of collecting the donation was continued. The amount reported as having been collected was $133.75. Owing to the long delay, many left before the exercises were concluded. During the course of h's remarks, Rev. Dr. Johnson created much amusement in describing his enquiries as to when the parade would arrive at the commencement of the exercises. THE ELKS AND THE BUZZARDS. One young man told him that the Buzzards had gone after the Elks and they should be here soon now. They had arrived that both had arrived without injury.

Pentecostal Day at City Home, Sun- day, May 31, 1925, under the auspices of the Charitable Union, indeed was the greatest in the history for 23 years. Over 500 persons were present. The welcome address by Hon. Mr. Morton, Superintendent of City Home was so inviting and the sermon by Rev. T. M. Allen, of Ashland, Va. will ever live in the hearts of those who heard him. They are asking for him to come again. The singing by the club of the Pilgrim Travelers added so much to the occasion, that the Union will ask them to go with them on their mission visit tff's summer with free tickets. There were presented the work: Communion Set, one Bible, one Hymn Book and a handsome pulse to Rev. F. W. Quarles for his faithful services. The feast to the inmates consisted of ham, ice cream, cake, oranges, apples, lemonade was served in abundance. We are grateful to our many good friends, white and colored who so kindly gave to this charitable work. Rev. F. W. Quarles was man ager. --- The Capital Photograph will be distributed to any licensed merchant throughout the State, at wholesale price. Notify The Planet Office or L Dickerson, Nesting, Va.

But after this when I tell you to scrub the porch and clean the hen house, I don't want you to go sneakin' off to the crick —! Personals and Briefs Mr. S. L. Horn, of the Baltimore Industrial News Dispatch was in the city this week and visited us. Reusable rates and prompt service is always guaranteed at W. T. Gray's popular automobile station. A car coped suddenly last Wednesday, day on Leigh Street, in the middle of the street, almost at the door of this well known station. No exact cause could be assigned for this. The car knew the place if the chauffer did not. S. W. Leigh Street, this city. "We keep busy" is the A. D. Price elogan. Cars are available night or day and the dead and the living looked after every hour in the year. One no seriously questions the reliability and the excellency of the A. D. Price service. It is what it always has been. Groceries are sometimes needed by people near the North Pole. Mr. Edward Stewart is furnishing them to people in this neighborhood at the most reasonable rates and of a quality that invariably gives satisfaction. Free delivery. All that is wanted is prompt payments. Dr. L. J. Hayden can keep quiet. His remedies and the people, who have been cured by them are expenents of the great service he is doing for mankind. If you have any disease, consult him and be surprised at the low prices for his medicines, which have stood the test for more than a decade. Mr. F. D. Johnson has received the degree of LL. B. from Columbia University, at New York. Dr. Zenobia B. Gilpin has opened her offices at 22 West Leigh Street. Her pleasing personality and high degree of efficiency has won for her many friends, who predict a brilliant career for her. Miss Ella Williams, the daughter of Mrs. Lena Isham Williams, is returning to Fisk University to complete her studies. She will receive her degree in August. We return thanks to Miss Lavinia Ethaniel Cogbill, Miss Mary Garland Cogbill and Miss Florine Perella Cogbill, for invitations to the Class and Commencement Exercises of the Armstrong High School, June 9th and 13th. 1925. They are among the successful students, who graduated. The horse laughed. He heard an automobile owner tell his chauffeur to have his tire repairing work done and his gasoline tank filled at W. T. Gray's Place, 8 W. Leigh St. Even an animal knows of the fine reputation of this place of places. As we go to press, we regret to learn of the death of Miss Julia Jefferson, of North First Street. A Card of Thanks. The Pentecostal Day on May 31, 1925, at the City Home, under auspices of the Charitable Union indeed was a grand success in every way, and was witnessed by over 500 people. We truly thank our many friends, both white and colored, who helped to make such a grand and noble success. You gave us all we asked for, and there is in store for you all a greater blessing. We will remember you all. Yours in Christ. REV. DR. BOYKIN HERE. Rev. J. W. Boykin, D. D., pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, of Camden, S. C., and Moderator of Mt.

Dear Miss Flo: A gentleman whom I know very well is to be married. I am not acquainted with the lady. I wish to send a gift, should I send it to the gentleman or to the lady? All wedding presents should be sent to the bride, regardless of whether or not you know her. The reason for this is that the gift really belongs to the bride. Aside from her claim to the gift, it is a courteous acknowledgment which the lady will appreciate. Dear Miss Flo: When a lady and gentleman are going horseback riding, who should assist the lady to mount, when there is a groom? At what side of horse should the lady dismount? The lady's escort should not exist even though there be a groom. The lady dismounts at left side of the horse.

O.O WOW day, working philosophy of Hammill, the small town boy who grew up and landed in the lap of accomplishment starting with a capital "A." The other day they promoted Hammill to the second highest place of command in the great Rock Island Railroad's offices. Hammill is executive vice president of the road. Under him are seven other vice presidents and 38,000 employees of the rank and file living in towns which stretch along the Rock Island's right of way from Chicago to Tucumcari, New Mexico. In language of the day Hammill is "doeer." He gets at things and sees them through with a minimum of talk and the least expenditure of energy necessary. He is 53, married, of ample frame and possessed of a genial, whole-souled sort of disposition. When just a lad he was working for meager salary as brakeman on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. There was a washout on the line one night, way in the early hours of the morning. Hammill was home in bed. It was his night off. It was nasty weather outside. The news came to him that the train was in danger and lashed from the house to be of assistance. He had to drive some five miles to the stalled freight in a hired rig over muddy roads. No one expected this of him. But Hammill was willing. A "break" had come and he meant to take advantage of it. He reached the train and then climbed a telegraph pole, notifying the dispatcher's office that all was far from being well "atong". He took the train to the site and later commended the quarterers for Hammill. As a consequence of his willingness and interest beyond the line of duty, shortly after he was made train dispatcher and from that day on his rise is something easy to trace. u.u.

JUNE 13, 1925 HELP YOURSELVES, colored folks and other folks will help you. COLORED PEOPLE are reading thet: own newspapers and profiting by the advice given. THIS IS A WORLD of sin and earthly pleasures. Some people do not concern themselves as to what will come to them hereafter. COLORED PEOPLE can get some where by being respectful and obliging to white people and they will necessarily get much further by extending the same consideration to each other first WAR IN AFRICA. THE WAR IN MOROCCO, which country is located in northern Africa is now attracting the attention of the civilized world. Spain was ridiculed for her weakness in her clash with this same class of people and France was of the opinion that but little military effort would be required to hold in subjugation that part of this country committed to its care by the Great Powers. Both countries had overlooked the fact that the Woodrow Wilson declaration of the right of self-determination had taken a strong hold in all of these a lezged subject countries. Couple with this the fact that these African warriors were trained in modern warfare, when Germany forced their enlistment on the part of the Allies. Spain found that a new nation of people, trained in the art of modern warfare were able to drive their men almost into the Mediterranean Sea. Then to the astonishment, these victorious black battalions proceeded to oust the French from their country. The world is astounded at their skill in military maneuvers. Their bravery has never been questioned. The European countries have adopted the plan of using Moors against CRAPING WATER Moor, but this is proving to be risky business and when it is found necessary to send white men from Europe, a different story will be told and the cost will stagger the Frenchmen. An effort is now being made to use diplomacy to bring peace. France, having been recently in a gigantic struggle is not able now to continue a war of carnage, which will mean the shedding of much blood and the expending of more treasure. It looks as though both Spain and France will be forced to make peace. U DRIVE TAXI-CO. 108 X. First St. Richmond, Va. RENT A CAR! DRIVE IT YOURSELF! TOURING Cars, 10c. per mle.

The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has upheld a decision of the Supreme Court, affirming the right of white property owners to restrict the sale or rent of property to white persons only, thus barring Negroes from renting or purchasing properties as to which white tenants in the have, in writing agreed not to convey or rename to colored people. No one, of course, questions the sincerity and judgment of the Court in rendering, upon the facts presented, a decision so adverse to the hopes of the Negro citizens; for, of course, the hypothetical question arises as to what the general situation would be were white property owners the citizen, or the country over, for that matter, to enter into similar agreements of restriction as to the descendants of a slave people who have in the larger sense, had to purchase or rent from white owners or landlords all the property rights they have ever acquired in the country. Courts of law, however, decide; they do not instruct any one other than their juries. Hence, the grave question arises as to whether or not the issues which, in restricted property cases, have been carried to appeal courts have been correct and proper ones. It appears that the principal issues which have been joined in these cases were Constitutional and public policy issues, based upon civil rights rather than upon strict real property rights as passed upon by the courts since the earlier days of the English Common Law. Without the slightest desire to criticize, and only with the honest hope of broadening the scope of the issues in these retractive agreement cases, we beg to call attention to the view which the law has always taken on restraints upon alienation and the rule against perpuities, each of which doctrines has much to do with the so-called land covenants, as to which entire jurists, have said: "Much depends upon whether such covenants, (agreements) tend directly or necessarily to enhance it (the land) value or render it more beneficial to those by whom it may be owned or occupied". "Further", says the weight of legal authority, "there must be a privity of estates between the governor and the covenants (party of the first part and party of the second part.)" These highly technical points of the law of real property, it seems to our humble mind take pr edence over the general laws of civil rights, and with sincere apologies to the legal profession, we point them out in good faith, with honest motives, and with the conviction that there is a way to break down the barrier which seems to have been firmly established by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

(Preston News Service) autonom gentleman and son of a Confederate army officer, continues his monograph by explaining Jew be withdrew from, and denounced the Klan, later stimulating the New York World to conduct a nation-wide investigation of the hooded empire. The World exposure and outside influences, consisting of Catholic, Jews and Negroes, says Mr. Fry, who began a series of attacks on the Klan, ultimately made it possible for that organization to become a political power, which quickly used the Catholic-Jew-Negro propa randa as a vehicle of salesmanship to thoughtless people who were anxious to propagate racial and sectarian antipathies; and, concludes Mr. Fry, the Klan menace is still real. Whether or not Mr. Fry is a Daniel come to judgment, we cannot say. On the face of his exposition, however, there seems to be a sincere attitude. It is probable, though, that the lusty wallops which have been recently administered to the Invisible Empire are taking the 'ace' out of 'menace'. The New York Appellate Court has just curbed the Klan in an emphatic way. In Oregon, the ban which it is said the Klan was attempting to place on parochial schools has been done away with by the State Supreme Court. And if, in Indiana, the Simmons order has any great potential strength, it is as invisible as the empire itself. State judiciaries have heeded the awakening prots of honest-to-goodness Americans, regardless of color, religion or race, who know that any secret lever of government or silencer of freedom must not, cannot prevail in the United States of America.

GRADUATION TIME. With a pocket of the old roll-top desk filled with invitations to graduation exercises, north and south, east and west, we are reminded that we are in the midst of graduation time, when the sons and daughters of a struggling race whose heads and shoulders have broken through the crust of the post-slavery period, will eagerly stretch forth their hands for diplomas certifying to greater attainments in art, science, literature, music and all the embellishments of civilization. Law, medicine, the trades, and the fine arts will make their contribution to the search for knowledge with thousands of graduates from the humblest race schools on up to Yale, Harvard and Chicago universities; and a group of boys and girls as fine as any whom God ever created will step off the stage down into the aisles of the professions, business, industry, and agriculture. It was inspiring to note a lassie in Tennessee, Miss Mattie Copeland, who played Flix Mendelsohn's Rondo Cappriscioso as her graduation major in music. It was inspiring to note highly-homored Negro students who had demonstrated their brain-power in separate and mixed schools. The location or the type of school made no difference, it seemed. But after graduation, then comes the transition of location and work from the local to the national declensions of the seething world where, aside from internal group competition there is the artificially-created competition based upon differences in color and in texture of hair. From this mistaken school of thought America has not yet graduated. The course is long and hard and the teachers are ill-trained. They have placed self ahead of Christian principle and their textbooks are antiquated ones. It is a ten-to-one competition against the budding Negro graduates every time. Despite this reverse motion, however, they will ply their arts, their trades, and their professions somewhere, somehow.

The public service will slowly but surely be opened to them in greater measure. The remaining barriers in industry will be removed in due time; and even in Delaware, a Negro lawyer will some day be admitted to the Bar. Oh, there's no room for gloom in the minds of our graduates, who from the Pyerian Spring of knowledge will move forward into world accomplishments. --- --- KEEPING FIT. While cooling off the other night in a Washington, D. C. public park, which, as yet, has not been restricted from use by the colored BROTHERS and SISTERS, we met a wise guy, who after handing us a handsomely embossed card, explained that he was spending the summer in Washington, where he could visit the Smithsonian Institute, and Congressional Library, to ascertain whether or not he had missed anything in his life-long study of art, science and history. He had graduated from an Illinois University, done research work in New York, studied three years in England, and was now finishing up anthropology, chemistry, and philosophy, in the expectation of taking several additional degrees in the early fall. These things, he explained, would enable him to make a real contribution as a Negro exponent of education; and the Race would doubtless feel proud of being so conspicuously represented in world progress. It was not unlikely, he thought, that the Spingarn medal might be forced upon him next year despite his modesty and self-effacing habits. We were a little abashed at meeting such a modern Socrates, Boyle and Sir Humphrey Davy all in one, as Professor George Carver, of Tuskegee; Matt Henson, of North Pole fame, and Roland Hayes, the silvery-toned tenor had long since rested upon the peak of our appreciation of high racial endeavor; and so, for the sake of safety-first, we descended the scale of racial discussion to such topics as we were fairly familiar with. No. the BROTHER didn't know much of Negro history. He had heard of Liberia, Booker Washington, and Marcus Garvey, however. Vote! No, he had been too busy for that. He had heard of Jesse Binga's bank, Harry Burleigh and Jack Johnson. He knew that Tuskegee Institute was somewhere down South; but felt that it was quite degrading for him to think of the industrial side of education "which is for slaves" he exclaimed. He had only seen the Chicago Defender once, because, as he emphasized, when he wanted news he bought the New York and Boston white daffies. Of Germany.

A bookmaker can deposit only what the little betting fools lose. Let them think it over. A zoological garden for insects only, and occupying forty-one acres, will furnish a national object leon. It will show the good done by some insects, the harm done by others. Without insects, for instance, should be no blackberries. Without bumble bees, as the Australians discovered, with amazement, you cannot have elover for your sheep. It would be easy to destroy all the insects in an orchard, but if you did that you would rain the fruit crop. With insects, as with other animals, the dangerous kinds are in a minority. But the dangerous ones are very dangerous. The insect zoological garden is much more important to human beings now than the old fashioned kind. Man's dangerous enemies are no longer the wolves, lions, catamounts and snakes. Where wolves at their worst might kill 500 people in a year, one little demon of a microscopic life, the colon bacillus, carrying with it Asiatic cholera, will destroy millions of lives.

The automobile industry is now greatest in the United States, totalling more than $3,163,000,000. The steel industry comes second, about $100,000,000 behind the automobile.

At the point of a gun the Wreck takes five gallons from a tank. They are held captive at a ranch owned by Mr. Underwood, who has invaded the property. They finally escape from the ranch, run into a camp of real bandits, are captured in a camp, and escape from the bandit camp, they are confronted by Sheriff Bob Whella. Whella, who Sally's dance, had been leading a search for the "bandits", who held up Underwood. Angela, the playmate and says she is going to marry the Wreck. The sheriff promptly places the Wreck under arrest, and they move away. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The prospect of going to fall did not disturb the Wreck. He did not see it very seriously. The main bit was getting really back to peace and happiness. Whenever they got tough, with him he would go back. Patsburg, where he might forget about things—or might not. But before that everything must be made straight and smooth for Sally Moran. Engaged to her? He laughed at himself. Not that there was any birth in it, but it was a form of self-mockery for which he was in the mood. The cavalcade was in the woods, where Sally found it easier to follow the trail than she expected. Presently they came to a splitting the trail and Sally could not be strain of her course. Then she came to a second spot where there was a confusion of footprints and hoofprints, and this she saw to be the place where she and Wreck had discovered their points. In the end, retracing of a wander trail brought them to a place at Sally and the Wreck instantly recognized. It was the camp of the tree men game. There was little it but搬 embers, but there is familiarity for mistake. he is no help. The sheaf off dismounted and exam- died a place attentively. He list- ed closely while Sally explained writing, including the affair of wining, including the two men and the thunderstorm. She seemed to stress the part the Wreck had played. The Wreck left the telling all to her. When the sheriff began walking to and fro, studying the deserted camp, the Wreck found himself side by side with Sally. It was their first proximity since they had mounted the horses at the foot of the hill, miles back. He moved uneasily in his saddle. He glanced at her, because it seemed difficult not to do. Sally smiled encouragingly. But the smile robbed him of his wits. "It's a nice day," he said. "It's a nice day," she said. She glanced up at the sky, through the tree-tops. It was blue and laughing now. "Beautiful," she answered. "No, so warm as yesterday." "No, not so warm." He made a nervous gesture that meant nothing in particular. "But it's likely to be warmer tomorrow." he blurted. The conversation had exhausted everything he dared to say. But she would not let him alone. "I think," she said, "that the rest of the summer won't be quite so hot. It gets cooler at night, you know." "Uh huh." "I don't of course, we can't tell. We don't of a hot wave."

"That's not much, but it's better than the weather," said Sally. than the weather," said Sally. He shook his head irritably. He was miserable at heart and he knew he was ridiculous. He lookedaded from Sally's face; the look in his eyes softened; Poor Wreck! "Just forget it," she said. "I didn't mean anything." "Oh, that's all right." "Thrinkn, old timer." From the desert camp the quartet, captors and prisoners, rode over to where the fliver had been left. It was ridiculously easy to find it by daylight. When the Wreck saw the car he went into a black rage. The fliver was lying on its side in a clump of bushes with two wheels in the air. It was plain enough that Nosey's gang had undertaken to turn it around and head it back toward the main road, but the turning room was limited, and the surface was a hillside, and the thing had gone over "YOU'LL GET THE HORSE WHEN I GET MY CAR RUN NING." for event of a skilled hand. for we were the Wheel climbed down from his horse and walked around his beloved car, furious but saying nothing. Yet so far as he could see, there was nothing radically wrong with the flayer. "Is it very much damaged, Henry?" asked Sally. "No," he answered, shortly. "Will it run?" ● "Of course." They were still examining the fluvver when two men came down the abandoned road and halted the sheriff. They were the other half of Bob Wells. "Good thing you got them horses," said one of them to Bob Wells. "We need 'em. Bill and me have been scouted' around while you was gone and we've hit a hot trail. But there wasn't any use tryin' to foller it on foot. If we're quick we'll nall 'em awn." of them already." In a glance at the Wreck. "Who, him?" The stared briefly. "Well, maybe he don't belong with this bunch we got located. We better get started, Bob." But the sheriff was not ready to start. The news from the dismounted part of his posse put him in a quandary. It was plain enough that what Sally and the Wreck said about the gang was, "He related what he With This Deep One for you, we are going to tell you the beat, of Timpson, Texas, and that she is puzzle.

"Well, I don't know anything about him," he said, "but I know we've got some other folks located that we want bad. And you're missin' the chance of your life, Bob, if you don't get started." Bob Wells was rapidly reaching the same conclusion. But what was he going to do about the Wreck? He could not take him along on a man hunt, for there was no sparse horse. He did not believe that he really wanted him after all, but he hated to let him go, particularly when he looked at Sally Morgan. Even the man who had been with him during the hillside acted as though he did not regard Henry Williams as a person of particular importance, so far as the law was concerned. "Sally," said the sheriff, suddenly "I'm going to make you a deputy" "What for?" "I'm going to put this man in your custody." Sally shook her head. "Oh, no, no you don't," she said "Henry Williams is his own boss so far as I am concerned." The sheriff reddened. "I'll need those horses for my men," he said, w h a nod at Sally and the Wreck "We'll try to come back and give you a lift later." Sally dismounted. She was elated. She had never believed from the beginning that Bob Wells would risk taking the Wreck to jail. But the Wreck remained in his saddle, staring at the sheriff. "You'll get this horse when I get my car running, and not before," he said. "Think you can leave a lad stranded out here in the woods, do you?" "Get down," said the sheriff, advancing. "Wait," remarked the Wreck. He indulged in a deliberate pause, "Sherif," he said, "I am a nervous man and I apt to be impulsive and do things without considering. But I've got this particular thing all figured out to a hair, and I was cool and calm when I figured it. Just as sure as you go off and leave Salt Morgan and me stranded in the woods I'm going to make the stair of Montana too small to hold you.

I'll tell them about the co you were going to marry, but didn't want to spend little thing, start to finish." He paused again, for it was an exceptionally long speech for the Wreck. The sheriff glowed at him. Bob Wells hesitated. After all, was a pretty good sheriff, as Sally always said, and when there was gang loose in his county he knew his duty. "And of course," said Sally, spitting up in a clear voice, "I'll up every word that Henry Willis says." The sheriff swallowed his pride. "What do you want me to do?" he looked at the Wreck.

This Week THERE IS QUITE A deal of commotion these days in Negro schools that is, there is commotion in schools owned and operated by whites but attended exclusively by Negroes. Mr. McKenzie had to leave Fisk, they are trying to get Mr. Durkee away from Howard, and Mr. Duke gives $200,000 to Kittrall. Of course, Kittrell is a Negro school operated by Negroes. Negroes want Dr. Durkee removed from the presidency of Howard University. He should be removed. He isn't the right type of man to have control and leadership of Negro youth. Any white man who will deliberately accept the presidency of a school that bars Negroes is NO FIT person to be at the head of a school for Negroes. You can't run with the KuKlux hound and the abolition minded foxes at one and the same time. Some colored people claim that the solution of the problem lies in putting colored men at the head of our schools. This may be true; I do not pretend to know. But I do know that it pure and simple business investment. Sometimes it pays to do things for others—even though it costs one money—rather than let them do them for themselves. If an individual or group never does certain things for itself it will never learn how to do them and consequently remains weak and dependent. As long as the group is weak and dependent it is not dangerous. As far as I know Mr. Duke does not belong to that group of white Americans who hold the reins to the educational program for the Negro. His gift seems to be a genuine desire to help improve the lot of people that he KNOWS WELL and AMONG whom he has lived for many years. But as for some others who are very anxious "to do some thing for the Negro", Dr. McKenzie and Dr. Durkee tell the story. (Preston News Serv.ce.) will be many a day before this consummation will come to pass In the first place the schools, where all the trouble occurs, are NO MORE NEGRO Schools THAN are the SCHOOLS IN MISSISIPPI ATTENDED by NEGROES. Schools such as Howard and Fisk and a few more are SIMPLE SCHOOLS THAT NEGROES GO TO. They have almost NOTHING to do with the management and control of these institutions. The whites put up the money for the maintenance of these schools, and, of course, thereby hangs a tale. A banker lends money to a manufacturer and in time become the manufacturer's boss. Certain wealthy whites give money for Negro education and, since they pay this fiddler, they call the tunes. They put whom they will at the head and determine the policies just the same as any other owner. All that gitters is not gold and every gift is NOT genuine philanthropy. Sometimes that at which poses as philanthropy is at bottom a --- A In the days of the old worm rail fence, no farmer would have cared for a horse like "Pathfinder."

BE YOUR OWN FIRE DEPARTMENT BY ERWIN GLEMING (Prairie College of Automotive Engineering) How gasoline burns or explodes is what puts fear into the average man and makes him stand at what he considers a safe distance while he watches his car or truck go up in smoke. If the fuel tank contained twenty, ten or even one gallon of ordinary black gunpowder, his fear would be exceedingly well founded, since whenever fire rears any part of it, he would be in a small fraction of a second. Fortunately gasoline alone is not only non-explosive but will not even burn unless it is first evaporated and the vapor in con- tact with the oxygen of the air. Even if the gasoline tank is under the cowl or under the front seat, there is little danger of its contents being ignited from a carburetor fire unless it is allowed to burn for several minutes. If the gas tank has its screw cap in position, the walls of the tank must be almost red hot above the liquid surface line before the fuel inside the tank will be set on fire. Hence it is perfectly safe to fight the carburetor fire before it has had time to heat up things too much. The first thing to do, of course, is to close the valve in the pipe line between tank and carburetor. The next is to another the fire Best in Oly In the days of the old worm rail fence horse like "Pathfinder." The horse eight-foot rail fence. Major C. L. finder," however.

After waiting thirty years one have not suffered from the portable disease, Gravel. I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden: Thirteen years ago twelve leading hospitalists of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on as that may be the only chance for me to advised to go and get some of L. J Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to force being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity I am. J. A. PAGE. A 4uburn Ave. Richmond Va --- Pouring on water is worse than useless because it will simply float the lighter gasoline and oil to the surface and make it burn better. A wetted cloth or bag, however, is effective and may be used. Anything that will not itself burn very rapidly will do to shut off the air supply from the burning gasoline. Wool does not burn so fast as cotton, once a woolen coat, overcoat, loudest thing to push up tightly around and over the burning fuel. If wool is not at hand, cotton fabric of any kind if fairly thick will answer. Road dust, sand, even sugar, salt or flour, wheat, barley, or other threshed grain, in fact will not do enough injury to slow down the flow of air will do the business. Usually a small contractor fire, if put out promptly will not do enough injury to machine to prevent ready.

I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine had made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. J. Hayden too much praise for his help, but I have spent many other suffering ones to blime and they have also rotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommand Mr. L. J.
