Dr. Hatcher Speaks Too--Remarkable Exercises--The U. N. I. A. Branch Holds Wonderful Meeting Here Major Ernest Sevier Cox, author of "White America" spoke to the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the management of Mrs. Rosa Loving, in one of the lodge rooms of the True Reformers' building last Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The seating space being limited to less than 75 persons, the room was crowded. Major Cox had previously written to Marcus Garvey, who is now confined in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. and declared that a movement should be inaugurated to secure his release. The speaker is heartily in favor of the Pleicher movement for keeping pure the white race. GARVEY'S DELIVERANCES He confined himself almost exclusive to reading from the Universal Negro Improvement Association publication entitled "Philosophy and Opinion" of Marcus Garvey. It consisted of the addresses of this distinguished Negro leader. Major Cox commended upon the treatment of Marcus Garvey by the "high-brow" Negroes of the North. He said: "As a white man, I do not favor all that Garvey says, and as a black man, Garvey does not favor all that I say. There will always be friction where the two races Hive together under present conditions. I wrote to Garvey urging him to be a model personer. His reply was that he had no intention of being other than a model prisoner. I think he is a fighter. He is a born fighter. There is no question but that he is the ablest leader the Negro race has ever produced." REV DR HATCHER SPEAKS Major Cox had read extract after extract from Marcus Garvey's book, approving of the same. He spoke of his advising the Negroes to seek a home in Africa, where they could be independent. He spoke briefly and some of Garvey's declarations which he read called forth much applause. At the conclusion, Mrs. Rosa Loving called upon Rev. James S. Hatcher, D. D. to say a few words. Dr. Hatcher said, "I came over to see whatever was to be seen and heard. I am not a Garveyite. I have not committed myself to his scheme. I have read Mr. Cox's book "White America". Negroes are being turned out with white men's aspirations, but they are without white men's opportunities". He spoke of the sleeping car accommodations denied to the Negro. BISHOP TURNER'S WARNING. "Marcus Garvey is telling you what Bishop Henry McNeal Turner told you fifty years ago. God took his folks, the Children of Israel, out of Egypt from the black folks and they were led to the Promised Land." Dr. Hatcher made other stirring references. Mrs. Loving called upon Attorney W. F. Denny. He claimed other engagements and passed out. Major Cox soon followed and Rev. Dr. Boule, the returned missionary from Africa delivered the final benediction after a collection had been lifted. Personals and Briefs Personals and Briefs Mr. Henry Neal, employed by the A. D. Price establishment is at his post of duty again. Mr. Henry Mallory, who has been confined to his home, is out again attending to business. Dr. A. M.

THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WHAM RIFF-SPANISH- FRENCH WAR BAM - ZAM WOW CHINESE DISORDERS ZOWIE WOW BLAH BLAH UNREST DORMAN H. SMITH OLD-TIME RELIGION AND SCIENCE COME TO GRIP IN DAYTON 8 HOUR BAR & CAFE C-1-100000 MAIN STREET OF DAYTON, CITY THAT HAS BECOME THE S TLE struggle between old time religion which accepts the Bible version of the creation of man and the universe, and the new scientific liberalism of modernists and colleges which want to remake the Bible in the mouth of things proved in the laboratories of science, is being brought to a head in the life of Dayton, Tenn. Sixteen years ago Charles Darwin explained the evolution of evolution—that all life plant and animal, descended through slow and successive stages from a single cell. WHAT DASWIN TAUGHT The theory, contrary to general belief, does not teach that man descended from the monkey, any more than a horse descended from a monkey. But that men, monkeys, horses, trees, corn, wheat, in fact all forms, have a common ancestor, a small one-celled living organism which existed some hundreds of millions of years ago. Scientists claim that the theory is backed up by plenty of evidence obtained by a close study of animal and plant life. Those who believe in the letter of the Bible, take the explanation of the creation, as given in the first chapter. And thus for sixty-five years there has been, strife between the followers of the two beliefs. In Tennessee a state law was passed, prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution in the public schools. But regardless of the law, textbook upholding the theory, were in use in many high schools and colleges. John T. Scopes, a Kentucky university graduate, teaching in the Dayton (Tenn.) schools, was using a computer to meet the town's drug store with George W. Rappelae, chemical engineer of the Cumberland Coal Company, and two young lawyers, Hicks and Wallace. Hagard, the started an argument among themselves over evolution. Scoops mentioned the book he was using in school. They found a copy of the book in the drug store, and read the chapters on evolution. DECIDE TO TEST Then Rappelpea, a firm believer in the evolution theory, induced Scopes to permit himself to be indicted to test out the Tennessee law, and clear up the argument. The indictment was returned, and at once the entire nation became incensed. William Jennings Bryan, one of the nation's hardest fighters of electricity, wired his assistance as prosecutor of young Scopes. Clarence Darrow, noted Chicago criminal lawyer, entered the fight as counsel for Scopes. Scopes, seeing that he was being made the spotlight of the world, drew in Harrow, but the case had gone too far. It was not a question of whether Scopes should be fined a few hundred dollars for violating the state law, but whether the Bible version of the creation of life, or the scientific version, should stand. Other prominent attorneys, including Dudley Field Malone, New York, offered their services for the defense of Scopes. And equally as many theologians, and firm believers in the Bible version, came to the aid of the state's attorney general and the county prosecutor for the prosecution of the case. **ARMY TENTS FOR VISITORS** Dayton, Tenn., a town of 1809 population, began wondering how the city could take care of all the expected visitors at the trial. Congressman Hull of the district, has arranged with the War Department for cots and tents. The county fair grounds or the baseball park, used as a place for the court to sit. The trial is scheduled to begin July 10, and will continue for weeks. I Dudley Field Malone, regarded as one of the leading attorneys of New York City, has volunteered his services in behalf of John T. Scopes, young Dayton (Tenn.) school teacher who goes on trial Jubilee 10, charged with testifying in the book of evolution in violation of the Tennessee state laws. C. W. Always opposed to the teaching of evolution, William Jennings Bryan has pledged to the state of Tennessee all his power and influence, in the state's prosecution of Prof. Scopes, high school teacher, of good with teaching Darwinism in his classes. Always opposed to the teaching of evolution, William Jennings Bryan has pledged to the state of Tennessee all his power and influence, in the state's prosecution of Prof. Scopes, high school teacher, of good with teaching Darwinism in his classes. The question is not whether evolution is true or untrue, but involves the freedom of teaching. Or, what is more important, freedom of learning. As we see it, the great question whether the Tennessee legislature has the power to prevent the young minds of Tennessee from knowing what has been thought and said to the world's greatest scientists, thus to prevent them from forming their own judgment in their questions of life and science. We regard it as equally up- American and, therefore, unconstitutional whether-it is kingly or ecclesiastical authority or legislative power would attempt to limit the human mind in its inquiry after the Bryan Says- The hand which writes the pay checks should rule the schools, majority of the people of the nation believe in the Bible. The disgrace is not the law of Tennessee, signed by the governor and passed by the legislature—the disgrace is that a one would make such a law necessary. The teachers are employees of taxpayers, and should no more allowed to teach what they personally believe than a clerk should be allowed to dictate the policy of bank. The disgrace is that teachers should abetray the trust that is imposed in them by the taxpayers. I believe that the greatest menace we have today is the substitution of education for religion. 1930 E. T.

It is profitable because the whiskey taste is still very keen in the mouths of many of America’s citizens, who do not believe in the sacredness of the Eighteenth Amendment any more than do many others of America’s “Best” believe in the sacredness of the Fourteenth and Fif- teenth Amendments to say nothing of the “due process of law” clause with which the Con. stitution fairly rings. The alleged bootleggers were fleeing from the law because the law is vigorously enforce. ing the Eighteenth Amendment at every op- portunity, while the same law winks and blinks at enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The law winks and blinks at the enforcement of those portions of itself which, in words, purport to give full tights and protection to the Negro people, because 2 certain large portion of America’s population thinks that those portions of the law ate too favorable to colored people; and, hence, too degracling to merit national respect. ‘The Eighteenth Amendment, though, in their opinion, is for everybody save those “higher ups” who are able to influence certain weak colored people to ply the trade of bootlegging. These causes and effects show the gigantic inconsistency of a large sector of America’s public opinion, which it must be admitted is the proximate cause of the vigorous enforce- ment of the Eighteenth Amendment and the non-enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fit. teenth in sections where State laws pervert Congressienal intention. When shail’ America awaken from such a grave inconsistency? When will American people say.,as Said John Philip Hill, Maryland Congressman: “T believe in enforcing all the Constitution”? Until then, what must na- tions of the world think of those increments of our country who blow hot and cold with the same breath? Until then, sad but not strange, death and misery will follow in the wake of the law, which cannot so divide its work, the mandatz of the people, and expect success, ‘The same public opinion which pro- claim's a hero will, in ten seconds, direct a mob; and, as the Good Book says, a man cannot serve two masters. Neither can the law, when those two masters have twin souls, the same, but different purposes. ‘To resurrect a homely pun of the late Dr. Booker T.

Dr. Scott's rebuttal of General Bullard’s estimate of the Negro soldier is merely one of 2 series of def-nses which the knowledge, corsvasiveness and reasoning powar of Em. imett’s mind have set up in behalf of America’: struggling black folks. Secretary at Tuske- gee, as Special Assistant to Seertcary of War Baker, and as an official at Howard Univers- ity, Dr. Scott has ever hen awake to the cry- ing needs of his people; and if there has ever been a time when, necessarily or volun. tarily, the task became his to move forward upon the firing line of equitable endeavor. and he retreated, we have no record of it. Such tasks hz has always considered to be privileges, and, with unselfish desisns, has given of his best in the time of need.

Our people are the greatest conventioneers in the whole world, and the 1925 railroad and automobile caravans to solemn sessions bid fair to make past years seem like mere pilgrimates to the front yard and back. We have no desire to throw any cold water upon the aspirations of our people to get to- gether and exchange ideas for the greater emancipation of America’s dark tenth. Yet we honestly wonder if it would not be more beneficial to divert some percentage of the sheckes that go for railroad coal andi automo. hife gasoline to Race investments or to the founding of Negro business enterprises. We overheard one conple say they had saved up 3c0 “rocks” to meet with their fraternal order 200 miles away; while another BROTHER -was working three shifts a day to get the first payment on his Cadillac, so he could “motor” to the convention. These two illus. trations—and they probably have a thousand likenesss—involved enough dough to start a small laundry or pay a year’s premium on shout 230 modest insurance policies of some Race company employing Negro clerks and agents, WANT NOTICES for persons desir |} ing employment will hereafter b publ'shed free of charge.

In other words, we subscribe to the bellef of an ardent Negro business man who holds that a solid economic wealth must be built up mong the BRETHREN to strengthen the jever by which they are trying to open wider the door of Opportunity in this country. Nor, said he, can that economic wealth be confined to church property and fraternity treasuries. Ir must be distributed into the coffers of Ne- gro business enterprises, investments, home ownership and education, We quite agree with the gentleman; and though we are fra ternally inclined ourselves, we honestly yearn for the day when the whistle of a Negro fac- tor yor the click of the cash register of a Negro enterprise, from a bootblack shop to a radium plant, sound as sweetly to the BRETH REN as the toot of a steam engine and the slide of a cash drawer in a railway station. And, as we said before, first the birth rate of business coin must be increased,—at least it must be equalized with the death rate of church bell and fraternal convention green- backs. Selah! &zQq®R THE BIRD AND THE CAGE. A flaxen-haired white lady, holding aloft in her hands a beautifully-gilded bird cage, ran frantically around the base of a tree on the city street, calling “Come back Dickey”, to a little canary bird who had abandoned his priscn for a limb high up the tree, from whence he was pouring forth as sweet a song as we have ever heard from the throat of a canary. In his song there seemed to be a note of joyousness which we had never before’ heard when the little fellow was safely locked in his cage next door. “Come back Dickey; come back Dickey”, called the white lady; but Dickey’s only reply was a burst of song and a flight to a higher timb and greater freedom, as he felt incrsased strength came to his wings and the fresh air of outdoors go down int» his Tungs an Dickey’s new freedom is not liké that which has come to the million Negro migrants who have come to the Northland during the past ten years out of the cage of peonage, lynching and the octupus-like prejudice with tentacles reaching into the home life, the schools, the public utilities, and, in fact into every phase of southern life where the question of color can be used as a blindfold for equity and jus. tice. Upon the Negro’s abandonment of thosé areas of stultified citizenship his “best friends’ there, the owners of the cage, like the canary bird’s keeper, wailingly cried “Come back, Dickey”; but the migratory Negro freemen, overcome by the new atmosphere and the in. creased-strength of privilege, have not heard the call. There remain “down home”, however, millions of Negroes whose patience, while in the cage, has not waned. They cling to the hope that the meek shall inherit the earth. To them as their hopes die, there is the Christian obligation and the warning signal of an en. lightened civilizatios, pointing towards a de- served freedom, a higher appreciation of their worth a knowledge that God is no respecter of persons, and a quickening of the will to deal justly with those who remain in or close to the cage, the bars of which should be torn asunder. ‘Then the frezdom of this life will be theirs, and sectional lines will yield: to love of cleavage between all the people of the gpod old U. S. A. regardless of color.

Tabloid Magazine HILARITIES This Week By Arthur Brisbane YES, WE ARE VERY RICH. $5,000 FOR GUESSING. FLYING IN THE ARCTIC. ONE LADY LEARNS. This is a flightfully rich nation. The countries of Europe owe us ten thousand millions and will pay us, including interest, THIRTY THOUSAND MILLIONS in the next 61 years. European debts due to private American purchasers of Europe's obligations amount to eight thousand million dollars. These securities, averaging high interest rates will compel Europe to pay our citizens $560,000,000 a year—with the principal when due. Old Rome, with her consuls pouring in money and slaves from conquered territory, was not nearly as "well fixed" as Uncle Sam. No wonder some of our friends in Europe worry, and ask "Did we fight each other only to make Uncle Sam mad?". Our answer is "We didn't ask you to fight. Be wiser next time." The American Society for the control of Cancer is cheerful. It reports excellent progress.

The Moderation League reports that drinking "in the South" has increased 120 per cent in thirty-four cities, under prohibition. Why pick out the South? There is no more drinking there than elsewhere. In any part of the United States you can drink as much as you like. The only trouble is that what you drink in the way of whiskey is a little worse poison than it used to be. "Why," asks a newspaper man, "do you say it would be less dangerous for the Shenandoan to go to Spitzbergen and hunt for Amundsen than to go from Lake-burst to Minneapolis and back?" ANSWER: Because at this time of year crossing the Atlantic with the prevailing winds helping, going on to Spitzbergen from England, with the Patoka waiting there as a base, and exploring the Arctic Ocean a few hundred miles would be simple. It would only mean flying the big Shenandoah in the midsummer climate of the Arctic, at no great distance from her base. A trip from New York to Minnesota and return through the zone of midsummer thunderstorms will be sufficiently safe, as helium does not explode or burn. But it would be more dangerous than a trip to Spitzbergen and on North at this season. Careful inquiry in restaurants shows that corned beef and cabbage is the favorite food of the American public. Four thousand five hundred and twelve votes behind came the vegetable dinner. Nevertheless, corned beef, excellent for those that live by their muscles, is not good for thinkers.

UNCLE JOHN O, the world will hang its garlands on a yapper, if he strikes the particiolar line of chatter that the general public likes; but, the critic parks the writer on dusty, marty shelf on knees to paddle sophiastes peculiar to himself. We often prate of "liberty" an' "personal desire" but the public that we work for simply chucks 'em in the fire, — for, the facts is, we are servants from the kiver to the bone — we have no right to persiflate opinions of our own! To furnish what "the people" wants is the system that prevails—which is probably the crucial test where buddin' genius falls.

BEGIN ON TODAY The "Nervous Wreck," an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from her father's ranch to a police station. At the point of a gun the truck takes five gallons from a racing car. She held captive at a ranch owned by Mr. Underwood, who was the car which they held up. They safely escape from the ranch, and escape again. Fleeing from the bandit camp, they suddenly are informed by Sheriff Bob Walls, who goes on a police search for the bandits. Sally breaks off her engagement with the sheriff and is married to someone who is in the sheriff's possession. The marriage license is written on the back of an old road map. HOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "See. Here's where we are," he explained, putting a forefinger on the map. "You just follow the main road from here, going left, until you come to this road. Walt! I'll mark for you. Then you follow the other road. It's a little twisty, but you can't miss it. Keep right on the way I'm showing you until you come to this turn. You keep bearing to the right. That fetches you to another pole, and you follow that to the left. And there's the Bar-M, right in there." The Wick nodded and the judge added the document again. "It didn't over seventy miles at the side," he added. "And most of the road is fair. Just hang onto that tape and you're all right. If you I want to know whether you're married, read one sde of it. If you want to know when way to go on your honeymoon, turn it over. That's what I call a "reform and public document, useful in more ways than one. Aln'th so, Bob?" But the sheriff was striding down the trail in the direction of the fires. "Well good luck, flks," said one shook hands. "The poese's got official business on its hands. I reckon it ought to be easier than rolling flivers." Sally and the Wreck were left alone. They stood stently until the last member of the possse disappeared, when the Wreck looked at her awkwardly, coughed, reddened and kicked at a stone that lay in the trail. Suddenly he walked over to the driver and cranked it. "Go m. t." he said. She got in, settled herself in the seat and shared ahead of her. They followed the pike for nearly an hour, until they came to a road that crossed it. Not a word was spoken. He humbled with the dog-earned document, unfolded it and found the license uppermost. Hastily reversing it, he studied the map. "This is where we turn off," he said. Sally merely shrugged. He turned the fliver into the new road and drove on for awhile. The Wreck shut off the engine and jammed the brakes. He began to gesticulate. He became abruptly voluble, without any clear idea of what he was saying. "Now, don't you worry a particle. It's my fault, every bit of it. Of course, I didn't any business to But—but—I just couldn't help it."

I for- got." His speech became lame again." "Well that's how I feel, anyway." She studied him for several seconds, then laid a firm, warm hand over, one of his, where it rested on the wheel. "Old-timer," she said gently, "you don't need all those words to say it in." "But I wanted you to understand-" "Perhaps I do." "But you don't. What I wanted you to understand was—was—'It's foolish, but—'" His voice suddenly rose to a shout. "Well, anyhow. I love you!" Sally's fingers closed around his. "Now you're talking, Henry Williams," she said, contentedly. The Wreck swooped on her. It was minutes afterward when Sally freed herself, half laughing, half crying. There was a strange, wonderful look in her eyes as she surveyed him—a look of proud, absurdly happy, possession. There he was, with his horn-rimmed spectacles, his squint, his old challenging air of defiance—Henry Williams, of Pittsburg, Pa., Nervous Wreck—but all hers. "And I do love you," he was saying, belligerently. "Of course," said Sally. "But it took you so long—" He swooped again, expertly, for the Wreck was a quick student. "There," exclaimed Sally. "Now you'd better get out and crank the fliver, or we'll never make the BarM tonight." With This Deep One real stimu'ation. There are some unusual words in it that you might add -o your vocabulary to an advantage.

"But I want you to understand..." "You dear idiot, I understand long ago." The Bar-M lay before them, almost at their feet. The ranch buildings huddled close to the ridge on the eastern side of the wide coupe, and the fliver was poised at the top of the ridge. Into the hills beyond the sun was dipping. To the north lay the summit of Black Top. Nearly home. "I'm afraid we ought to have stuck to the road," said Sally. The Wreck had insisted on cutting across the range, when they reached a point opposite the Bar-M coule. "Miles around the other way," he said. "And here we are, almost there." "But it's pretty steep, Henry." She looked down the long green slope with a calculating eye. "It's nothing," said the Wreck. "Just watch." The fliver dipped into the grade, slowly at first, then with growing speed. It was traveling like a wild thing. The Wreck had the service brake jammed down as far as it would-go. He hauled back on the emergency brake. The fliver plunged onward, her brake bands screaming and smoking. "We're going to hit something!" cried the Wreck. Sally opened her eyes. "Don't hit the kitchen!" she cried. "Ma's in there! Hit the corral!" He could at least steer, and he did. They hit the corral. A section of fence flew into kindlings and the fliver charged onward. The sorrel horse, directly in its path, lifted his head, snorted, wheeled, lashed out with his heels and missed it by inches. The fence on the farther side loomed. There was a second crash, a lurch, a splintering of various things. The fliver stopped. Dad Morgan, who was leaning against the fence a few yards distant, removed his pipe from his mouth and examined the situation with interest. "I see you made good time gettin' back," he remarked. "Dad!" cried Sally. "Howdy, Sally? Howdy, Wreck?" He strolled near for a better look at the fliver. One of the wheels was complex, with mudguards were buried up, the windshield was gone and there was a rivet of steaming brown water dripping from the radiator. "I reckon," said Dad, "that her nervous system is kind of shot up." "Oh, Dad!" Sally leaped clear of the wreckage and had her arms around his neck. "Git the trouseau?" he asked. "Where Ma Mant to tell me," Well, "I'll be durned," Dad. "Your Ma's over to the room. I reckon. Where Bob?" Sally began to laugh. "I'm not married to Bob. I'm married to Henry Williams." Dad Morgan's glance wandered to the Wreck, who was still sitting in the flayer, gloomily surveying his work. "Now I will be durned," he said, thoughtfully. "Come to think of it. I reckon I'll be damned." "You'd better be nice to him," warned Sally in a whisper. "He the dearest thing in the world." She raced away in the direction of the house, where the slight figure Ma Morgan stood framed in the kitchen doorway. Dad watched her go. Well, wome were queer folks. But if Sally said it was all right, that settled it. Married, eh? The Wreck was his son-in-law. Fair enough. he mused. Sally always insisted the Wreck was game His own course of conduct was clear.
