THE RICHMOND PLANET PRICE RACIAL INTEGRITY BILL DEFEATED Virginia Senate Votes 26 to 13 Against Measure. Able Speeches Delivered--General Satisfaction Voiced Thruout the State. VOLUME XLV, NO. 15 PRIC BI Virginia Able Speed The Race Integrity Bill attracted much attention here and the publication upon that subject entitled: "Negroes Want Racial Integrity Too" by John Mitchell, Jr. was the subject of almost universal commendation on all sides regardless of race or color. Rev. Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, member of the faculty of the Virginia Union University and pastor of the Moore Street Baptist Church was first to recommend the publication and urge that it be sent to the Forum of the Richmond, Va. News Leader. It appeared therein Thursday, February 9, 1928. As a matter of fact, it was one of three editorials which were to appear and did appear in The Planet of February 11, 1928. Rev. William H. Stokes, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church and Rev. A. W. Brown, pastor of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church gave heavy approval to the statements made herein. It is the general opinion that no one thing d more to spur the opposers of this bill in the Senate than did the argument, legal or otherwise therein contained. The vote was 13 for the bill and 26 against. It is intimated that this measure will be brought up again at the next session of the legislature. As there have been so many requests for copies of the Planet containing the editorials in question and having sold out the edition, they are reproduced here as follows: CHIEE COOK'S LAMENT. "Injustice swift, erect and unconfin'd Sweeps the wide earth, and tram Sachae Wah-hun-sun-a-cook of the Pamunkey Indians n this State and who in plain English is known as Chief Cook lost both his head and his case in the debating bout with the Senate Courts and Justice Committee Fr'day, February 3, 1928. He spoke against the bill which has already passed the House of Delegates, which bill defines Negroes as persons having an ascertainable amount of Eth'opian blood, without reference to limit of time or number of generations, and would define Indians as persons having one-fourth or more Indian blood. As this law would be retroactive, it can be attacked as unconstitutional. The measure was construed to mean that an Indian having three-fourths or less of "white" blood would still be regarded as an Indian, but if he had any Negro blood whatever within his veins, he would be a Negro. When the bill was first proposed to Chief Cook, he gave his approval to the measure, but learned of the white man's wiles during the heated discussion of the issue. Just how the proponents of the measure could argue that a person with one-fourth or more of Indian blood in his veins is an Indian, provided the other proportion contains no Negro blood is a question irc the gods to decide. By legislative enactment an attempt is made to define a race with an uneven and unstable measure of explanation. It was then that Chief Cook exclaimed: "I will be a stone around my neck and jump in the James River ra her than be classed as a Negro. It would (Continued on page 4) OUR SKIPWITH HERE. Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Rosewood Avenue and Granby Street Rev. M. H. Payne, Pastor—Beginning with next Sunday, 19th inst and continuing for two weeks or more our own Rev. Dr. W. H. Skipwith, known the world over as the Great International Preacher, Singer and Evangelist, will assist the pastor and people at the above Church in a revival. Rev. Dr. Hovey, ex-President of Virginia Union University, in introducing Rev. Skipwith a few years ago to speak to the student body, said in part: "We will just have to recognize him. His work this country over demands it and as a former student of this university he reflects great credit upon it in the special work in which he is engaged". Yes, the Editor of this paper can rightly say, in the face of many difficulties and apparent impossibilities with an indomitable will and determination, our Skipwith has succeeded. And today Virginia, Richmond, Union University can boast of having produced the best known Negro Evangelist and the best Evangelistic Singer there is. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor of the great Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa., of which Rev. Skipwith is a member says he (Skipwith) is in a class by himself.

Gogbill, who left us three years ago, February 17, 1925: We sit alone tonight and gaze Upon that vacant chair, And memory takes us back to days When our dear mother sat there. And now three lonely years have passed Since we have seen her face. We think of her as when last She sat in her old place. Silently the shades of evening Gather around our lonely door, Silently brings before us The dear face we'll see no more. —Children and Grandchildren. Funeral Director C. P. Hayes is out again after his temporary illness RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, FEB. 18, 1928 Killing of Wm. Hartman Justified So Rules Judge J. Hoge Ricks--A Plain Case of Self Defense--Murder Charge is Dismissed. The case of Aubrey Cousins, the 16 year old boy, charged with the murder of William Hartman, 22 years of age and married was heard by Judge J. Hoge Ricks in the Juvenile Court Thursday, February 16. 1928. Attorney Walter Maxwell Evans ably represented the accused youth. He set up a plea of self-defense. After patiently listening to the evidence, Judge Ricks dismissed the case stating that if there ever was a case of self-defense, this to him appeared to be one. Cousins had come out of the house to protect his sister, who had been struck by a snowball and then by a shovel thrown by William Hartman INTERESTING CHURCH SER VICES SUNDAY (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) A large congregation listened to Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph.D., as he discussed evolution last Sunday morning. Some persons were confounded when he ably dealt with the evolution in the faith and showed how the human race had worshipped God, idols, animals and reptiles. Then he dealt with the Scriptures and the prophecies therein. The discourse was one of the most interesting and profound deliverances ever heard in that edifice. At the conclusion, he paid a glowing tribute to The Planet of last week and to its editor, who smilingly listened to the tribute. He referred to the racial integrity discussion and announced that he and his congregation would be present to witness the farewell of Chief Cook of the Pamunkeys, who had said that he would jump in the James River with a stone around his neck rather than be classed as a Negro. Rev. Stokes announced that he had an orchestra under way to render selections on Sunday. Ten musicians had already volunteered to serve. The choir rendered selections and the members and visitors passed out after the benediction by Rev. Stevenson. It was rather late, but owing primarily to revival services, the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church was packed as Rev. A. S. Croone. Durham N. C. delivered an able and impressive sermon. The galleries were also filled to their utmost capacity. $165 had been lifted in the collection. Rev. A. W. Brown, the pastor then made an enthusiastic announcement concerning the editorials in The Planet on the Race Integrity Bill. He paid a personal tribute to The Planet's editor. Then he insisted that this same editor have something to say. He said it, after which a bubbler congratulation passed out. Revival services have been in progress at this church for several weeks.

The Traffic Department under Captain C. B. Samuels has installed a school safety patrol at Van de Vyger College on First Street and at the Booker T. Washington School at First and Leigh Streets. It has been in operation nearly two weeks and the popular Sergeant "Bob" Crafton with his assistants has charge of the installation. It consists of placing four or five male pupils with red flags having white letters with a white cross. A boy stands on each of the four corners of the street with one boy in the middle of the street to regulate traffic, the same as the traffic cops do now in specially congested districts. In this case, both people walking and the cars come and go as directed. SYSTEM PROTECTS SCHOOL CHILDREN. The system is a great protection to school children and aids in protecting life and to prevent crippling of children. All of our people are urged to cooperate with the boys in carrying out the instructions. The service lasts only about half an hour at the time the schools convene and are dismissed. It is a most satisfactory innovation and praise of the system has been voiced on all sides. Sergeant Crafton has taken a more than personal interest in making a success of the venture. Observation justifies the statement that it moves like clock-work. EVANGELIST G. W. BECTON FAILS TO COME ON TIMB At this time no letter has been received from Evangelist G. W.

The Office Building of the National Ideal Benefit Society, 210 East Clay Street was the center of great interest Monday night, February 13, when a large number of Richmond's best citizens, representing every worthwhile vocation, assembled at the headquarters for the purpose of being members of the Z. D. Lewis Memorial Lodge of the above named society. Because of this great character, the beloved and lamented pastor of the historic Second Baptist Church, for whom the lodge was named, many persons were attracted to this particular group. The chartered office presiding Master; Mrs. Margaret E. Foy, Presiding Mistress; Mrs. Mabel M. Winston, Chaplain; Mrs. Rose Walton, Financial Secretary; Mrs. Peachy A. Poindexter, Assistant Secretary; Mr. T. F. Archer, Treasurer; Miss Elizabeh Gaiters, Guide; Mrs. Carrie Slade, Assistant Guide; Mrs. Susie N. Johnson, Sentinel; Mr. Z. D. Lewis, Jr. Outer Guard; Miss Rasetta Mines, Director; Mrs. Halle Calhann, Right Supporter; Mrs. Mar'an J. Stepte, Left Supporter; Mrs. Martha Gregory, Counselor. At the conclusion of the obligatory ceremonies, the members expressed themselves delightfully pleased with the Ideal Society. They also spoke in highest praise of the many fine qualities of Mrs. Lelia W. Bankett, who was responsible for their membership. This achievement of the National Lecturer increases the result of her three and a half month work to six (6) adult lodges and three (3) nurseries, giving a total of 370 new members. In the absence of the Supreme Master Mr. A. W. Holmes, who had a business engagement out of the city, Mr. T. L. Beverly, District Deputy took full charge of the meeting and was ably assisted by Mesdames Susie E. Grant, Olivia W. Smith, Alice Cooper Sallie Nicholas, Pearl Peters Elizabeth Woolfold Mr. B. W. Perkins and the National Lecturer. Besides this large group of adults Z. D. Lewis Memorial Nursery, with 35 children was organized February 9th.

AGED CITIZEN BURIED The death of Mrs. Louise Johnson of 29 E 18th Street, January 29, 1928 removes from our midst one of the oldest and most respected citizens of "Old Manchester". The funeral took place from the First Baptist Church of which she had been a faithful member for a long number of years. The Rev. W. L. Ransome preached a very sympathetic sermon. The deceased was buried with the honors of Golden Branch, Auxiliary to the Y. M. L. and U. Club.

NOTHING TO IT Willie Wilson arrested and over whom much ado was made about his placing his hand on a white woman on Laurel Street proved to be an inoffensive barber who works in Dewson's white barber shop on Robinson Street. He is the barber of one of the officials of the Police Court. He has been discharged under bond. Many white people testify to his character. Washington military and diplomatic circles are deeply interested in revolutions just made by members of von Hindenburg's staff, disclosing for the first time the reasons why Germany defied the United States. "Today, ten years after the war is over, the truth is finally being told," to quote one of the German General Staff, who explained the German policy of Bigg, General Henry J. Tully, O. R. Riley, General Reilly, sent abroad to go to original sources to sift out the facts from the great mass of propaganda, exaggeration and half-truths, has completed his report which is published in full in the Cosmopolitan "For the great German General staff the war from the beginning had been a race against time," declared one Hindenburg man; "time to knock out France before Russia was ready really to fight—time to knock out our allies, time to end Enigma ready with a real army. We believed only bad German leadership had prevented us from doing this. "Allied war propaganda had taught you that the Russian steam seller was flattening us out on one Me. while the British, French, and Icelanders overwhelmed us on the other—that we were on our last legs with our backs to the wall. And like most war propaganda that was the opposite of the one." We had beaten Russia so thoroughly that we held a line far within her territory. We had wiped Roumania and Serbia off the map. We had failed in the first Battle of the Marne and at Verdun to put France out. However, we had caused her army such tremendous losses that we knew it could never regain full strength. It was the unexpected arrival of the United States army that upset Germany's plans, the Hindenburg spokesman reveals. Germany believed the United States would not resort to the draft.

Germany's failure to win the war prior to America's entry is assigned by the Hindenburg-Ludendorff group to poor German generalship.

THERE'S A BIG IDEA! GIVE ME YOURS TO FORGET WITH! IS THAT GO? CUTTING- SUGAR BEETSEED CH. CAGO—Two hundred and twenty thousand persons are employed to produce and manufacture beet sugar in the United States, according to a report issued here by the U S Beet Sugar Association. This means the report continues that more than 110,000 persons including beet growers, factory laborers, and their families are dependent on beet sugar for livelihood. There are 102 beet sugar factories in the United States located in seventeen states in which more than $280,000,000 in capital is invested," says the report. "About $150,000,000 is distributed annually to American industry by the beet sugar business. Wages to factory workers account for $28,000,000, while $122,000,000 more is spent for materials and supplies of. which approximately $50,000,000 goes to farmers yearly for their beets. "More than 100,000 farmers are engaged regularly in growing sugar beets. In addition 85,000 laborers are required in field work and harvest and 35,000 mechanics, laborers and factory hands are employed in plants during the operating season. "So great is the economic influence of beet sugar production that a sump in the soil causes the proximity of a large part of the country. Adequate tariff protection for the industry should be a prime American policy to insure farmers a fee for their beets and workers a wage level commensurate with the present scale of living in America."

The United States Senate is no longer the great upper chamber, forming a curb upon the lower branch and calmly and dispassionately considering measures which may be brought before it. Its era of genuine statesmanship has passed and we are now observing its antics in the glare of present day politics. How else are we to consider its action in resorting to the antics of ward organizations, when it essays to pass a resolution defining the terms allotted to a presidential official who has already spoken plainly on this subject? This is all the more disgusting in view of its attitude with reference to Senators elected from the sovereign States of Illinois and Pennsylvania. Here is an instance where a precedent has been made, which is revolutionary and dangerous. The Constitution provides that either branch of the legislative department of the government shall be the judge of the qualification of its own members. A Senator-elect is not a member of the United States Senate until he is sworn in. How can the body properly pass upon his qualification until he is on the roster of the body itself? These gentlemen voted to disregard this precedent or rather to make a new one and then before their action has been forgotten proceed to tell what it thought proper in a coordinate branch of the same government and with the Supreme Court representing the coordinate Judicial Department of the Government' silent upon this same question, although it would have been proper to ask that department to pass upon this all important point at issue. But here is the resolution passed February 10, 1928 by a vote of 56 to 26: resolved, that it is the sense of the Senate that the precedent established by Washington and other presidents of the United States in retiring from the Presidential office after their second term has become, by universal concurrence, a part of our republican system of government and that any departure from this time-honored custom would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institutions'. In order to be consistent, it will be necessary for the United States Senate to pass the following resolution just as soon as possible: "It is the sense of the Senate that the precedent established since the foundation of the government by which a citizen legally eligible to be elected to the United States Senate and who has been so elected and who holds a prima facie right to a seat therein must be legally sworn in and become a member of the United States Senate before he can be debarred, ousted, and denied the right to the office of Senator has become by universal concurrence a gift of our republican system of government, and that any departure from this time-honored custom would be unwise, unpatiotic and fraught with peril to our free institutions". Senator Cole Blease of South Carolina was right when he said Senator Blease charged that the Senate was becoming a "super Grand Jurist, and chief investigator". "The resolution", he said, "is introduced for the purpose of slapping Mr. Coolidge in the face. There can be only one honest opinion—that it is intended to put a quietus on the Coolidge movement". It may be during the next generation that the American people will awake from their present lethargy and send statesmen to Washington instead of demagogues. When that is done, prosperity will result and onerous taxes will be a thing of the past. RACIAL INTEGRITY BILL DEFEATED. The Price Racial Integrity Bill was defeated in the Senate here Monday, February 13th, 1928 by the decisive vote of 26 to 13. Every member is reported to have been present and the interest was intense. The Times Dispatch reporter said: "It was a decisive victory for opponents of the bill and marked its doom for this session of the Legis failure. It had previously passed the House, and until dealt the death blow yesterday had wished every attempt at amendment. "Senators Henry T. Wickham, of Hanover and T. Gray Haddon, of Richmond, leaders of the opposition group, characterized the bill as an attempt to "make outcasts of the remnants of the Indian tribes, which ought to have our protection". Both of them insisted that the present statues were sufficient to guarantee against an intermixure of the races. Senator J. B. Waskins, of Chester field, arose during the course of debate to assert that he would vote against the bill because some of the Indians reside in his senatorial district and he had been petitioned by them and their teachers to oppose it. "The bill sought: to define as colored any person having any ascertainable amount of Negro blood without regard to time or generation removed, and attempted to classify as an Ind an every person not a colored person, but having one fourth or more Indian blood." He is quoted further: "Senator Marshall N. Booker, of Halifax, fought for its passage, inquiring repeatedly, 'What's wrong with this bill?' and asserting that the time has come for defining a white person white and a Negro a Negro'. "Th's bill!" declared Senator Booker, 'is not doing the Indian an injustice. If an Indian has no Negro blood in him and has as much as one fourth Indian blood, this bill recognizes him as an Indian. Why give the Indian any greater power than a Caucasian? I believe the bill is right'. The thing that was wrong with the bill is plainly evident. It did not define a white person as white and a Negro as a Negro. It defined a white person as white and a person who was not a Negro as a Negro. What it should have done was to define a pure, unmixed Anglo-Saxon as white and pure and a pure, unmixed Negro as a Negro. This is specifically what was wrong with the bill and this is why it met with overwhelming defeat. For more than fifty years, a person with not more than one eighth Negro blood in the veins had been legalized as a white person. Although legally, this person is white, if he had one-fourth or more of Indian blood, he was barred from being recognized as an Indian. Still the Hon. Marshall N. Booker, of Halifax county had the effrontery to say that the bill "is not doing the Indian an injustice". We would like to know if he affiliates with any church in his county and whether or not he professes to be a follower of the "good and lowly Jesus?" Then followed other comment: "Senator R. O. Norris Jr., of Lancaster and Senator Lloyd E. Warren of Portsmouth, also pleaded for passage of the bill. The former favored a separate bill, if the necesity required it, specifically relating to Indians, and said he would give it his support." "We are s'imply clarifying the law," he said, "so as to prevent a future occurrence of unfortunate facts which have put skeletons in the closet of some peeple. These skeletons will continue until brought to light when the closet door is opened." We take it that this legislative luminary has much knowledge but little experience and less common sense. He seemed to have overlooked the fact that it is much better to let the skeleton stay inside of the closet than to provide legislative tongs and prying officials to drag out to public gaze some of the most astounding scandals ever known in the history of the Commonwealth. It is an old adage, "Let sleeping dogs lie". It is equally impressive to "let the dead rest" and to never attack others with stones, when you yourself may be living in a glass house with many family secrets inside of your own closets, the knowledge of which may have never been handed down to you. The final touch to the demise of the bill came as follows: "When the racial integrity bill was taken up on the calendar Senator Wickham arose and made the first speech. His argument against the bill was on the ground of present adequacy of the law on the subject, and quoed an opinion by Attorney General John R. Saunders to back up his assertion. "The doors of the State penitentiary stand wide open for those that offend the mandate of that law", he declared, referring to the act prohibiting the marriage of the races. "This bill has nothing whatever to do with the purity of the race—unlawful or lawful—but is an attempt to make these people (the Indians) outcasts. Is the law to come in and sever with one swoop the hand of fellowship extended them?" All the Negroes asked was that the bill be passed with the same protection for the Negro as was given the white man. If a person with no admixture of other than white blood constituted a white person, then legislate that a person with no admixture of other than "black" blood constituted a Negro. When that point in the discussion was reached, there was a slump of votes from the racial integrity bill and it went down to THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Are you suffering from the misery of a lame, aning back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms, soothes and supports the back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight through the skin to the affected paris-pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns, almost immediately.

Chief Cook is relieved from carrying out his promise to jump in the James River with a stone fled to his neck in preference to being classed as a Negro. Some Negroes had become so convinced that the bill would pass that there was a general discussion and general preparations made to attend the last obsequies of the spectacular fiery, howling chief of the fading tribe of the Pamunkova. Price Racial Integrity Bill (Continued from page 1) be far finer to perish in the waters of this stream, upon whose banks my ancestors fought to help the "pale-faces" achieve independence from England and than to suffer such an indignity after being chief of mine ancient and honored tribe for nearly a quarter of a century". This is rather a tragic fate for this "blood and thunder" leader of the Pamunkeys. Certain it is that there will be a mighty big crowd of Negroes present to see him make his "take off" if he will notify them of the time and place of his entrance to the Indian's Happy Hunting Grounds. It may be well to remind the "Big Cheft" that Negroes did as much as his tribe to accomplish the independence of this country, in the War of the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and the World War. If Chief Cook or his tribe went overseas, we have not heard about it. Before he dies, he may be glad to associate with these same Negroes whom he so roundly despises. Certain it is that Negroes join with him in his effort to maintain the racial integrity of his tribe and they do not want any of its mongrel members thrown over on their side of the contention. We thought that "dog eat dog" in the common Indian parlance. To speak plainly, we were under the impression that Indian lived with Indian, married Indian and did not aspire to either association or marital relations with the "pale faces". Judging from Chief Cook's expressions and attitude, he would prefer the blood of a white horse thief in the veins of some of the members of his tribe rather than the blood of the most refined Negro even though that alleged Negro bore all of the car-marks and complexions of an Anglo-Saxon. The Committee gave its approval to the bill despite the impassioned protest of Chief Cook, of the Pamunkey Indians. There is another interesting phase to this situation. The white man "messed" the Indians up with half-breeds and the attempt is being made to protect the Indians in this white man's "messing". It is brought out that the Negroes "messed" these Indians up also and an attempt is being made to grant no protection in the Negroes' "messing up" of these same Indians. It is a peculiar situation and will bring the question right back to where it started. It will resolve itself into finding on the Pamunkey Reservation any pure blooded Indian, who has not been "messed up" by either a white man or a Negro. One thing is certainly sure, the Negroes have been "messed up" by the white man to such an extent that that race of people around here has been groping in the dark, so to speak, not being able to tell "which from "mother". Chief Cook has the fight of his life on his hands. Should he decide to die by the "stone around the neck" method, for God's sake give the Negroes in this "neck of the woods" due notice and all of the manufacturers and employers of Negroes will be asked to give a holiday in order that they may enjoy one day of complete and prayerful satisfaction.

The provision of the Amendment in question reads: "Nor (shall any State) deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". The bill provides a protection to the white person against the intermarriage with a Negro, but makes no provision for the protection of a Negro against intermarriage with a person not a Negro. Let us see. To equalize the situation, the bill should be so amended as to define a Negro as being any person, who may have no perceptible trace of white blood in his or her veins. It defines a Negro as being any person, having a perceptible trace of Negro blood in the veins. In plain language, the proportion of blood incidental to the regarding or the specifying of a person as a white individual or as an Indian shall not apply to any person, who may have any Negro blood in their veins, what soever. This bill should be amended so as to read that no person, who may have any perceptible trace of white blood in their veins shall be regarded or classified as a Negro. These "anxious seat" gentlemen who are desirous of undoing the sins of many centuries will at least be credited with endeavoring to play fair. They should accord to the Negroes the "simon pure", genuine black-blooded Negroes the same protection they are asking for themselves. Let them eliminate the word "colored" as applicable to the Negroes of the pure, African stock and they will rid the poor, derided blacks of the incubus and responsibility of shouldering this mighty army of mulattoes, quadroons, octoroons and now fifty thousand more white folks who will overnight be placed in the (Continued on Page 5.)

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before 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.

Price Racial Integrity Bill Price Racial Integrity Bill (Continued from page 4) legal category of Negroes, although they will still be what they have always been. the legitimate and illegitimate offsprings of white folks. You are defining and legislating that no person with Negro blood to the least degree can be legally recognized as a white person, then define and legislate that no person with white blood in the veins to the least degree shall be legally recognized as a Negro. As the master now stands, the pure, unadulterated Negroes here are loaded down and held responsible for all kinds and sorts of people masquerading as Negroes, when they are not Negroes. We have Chinese Negroes, Japanese Negroes, Mexican Negroes, Indian Negroes, German Negroes, French Negroes, English Negroes, Italian Negroes, Jew Negroes, Irish Negroes and last but not least, either as to quality or quantity, we have white Negroes. If the white folks want to unload their holdings in this respect, then the genuine black, woolly-haired Negro wants to unload his hold ages also. The folks, the white folks, chiefly responsible for this condition should agitate and aid him in so doing. Ch'ef Cook, of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe does not want his Negroes living on the Indian reservation to come over with the Negroes and these genuine, unadulterated black and woolly Negroes do not want either him or any of his tribe. The Negroes want a genuine cast iron, pure alloy race segregation provision embraced in the bill now pending that will afford all of the protection to the Bourbon brand of Negro black folks as now applies to the genuine brand of white folks We also would like to find some way to change, nullify, modify or prove to be false, the following declaration of the Scriptures: "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth" With this declaration of fact eliminated and the invention of some delicate scientific chemical instrument or device, with the use of which the blood of a Negro can be proven to be different from that of a white man or an Indian, then a foundation will be laid for the determination as to whether a person has one-fourth one-eighth, one-sixteenth or one hundred percent. of the blood of any particular race in his veins. As the matter now stands, this legislative committee and in fact, the body itself have been evidently trying to determine accurately a thing that cannot be accurately determined. It is like estimating the distance from the earth to the sun, or the distance of the moon accurately from some of the other solar planets. Jeremiah is quoted in the Old Testament as asking: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his snow?" The white man has changed the Negro's skin, but he has not deemed it either pleasurable or inviting to make an effort to change the spots on the leopard. Perhaps sooner or later, the Negroes of this country will be like The Good Sea-captain, who Thomas Fuller so aptly describes when he says: "But our captain counts the image of God—nevartheless his image—cut in ebony as if done in ivory, and in the blackest Moors, he sees the representation of the King of Heaven" DEFINING NEGRO AND INDIAN. This racial integrity agitation is attracting much attention, not only in this State, but in other parts of the country. Negroes have but slight interest in the matter, as the warfare is going on in in the "upper gallery" of civilization here where the "blue bloods" and the mixed bloods are having the time of their lives fighting amongst themselves. Still, there is an interesting phase to the whole business. Pollard's Annotated Code of 1904 defines Negroes and colored persons as follows: "Every person having one-fourth or more Negro blood shall be deemed a colored person, and every person not a colored person, having one-fourth or more of Indian blood shall be deemed an Indian (1865-6p. 84)." In defining this section in the McPherson's Case, 28 Grat. 939. the Court said: "A woman whose father was white and whose mother's father was white and whose great-grandmother was of brown complexion is not a Negro in the sense of this statute" Since that time, the law has been changed to read that a colored person is one having one-sixteenth or more of Negro blood and an Indian is any one (not a colored person) THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA AM-BISH-UN TABLETS AM BISH-UN TABLETS are used by men and women the world over-the-they work wonders.

E New York City having one-fourth or more of Indian blood. It will be seen then that a person with less than one-sixteenth of Negro blood is to be regarded as an Indian if that person has as much as one-fourth or more of Indian blood. The measure as passed by the House of Delegates makes it impossible under the statute to regard person as an Indian if he has five per cent. Negro blood and ninety-five percent. Indian blood. He would be classed as a Negro. This is why Hon. W. A. Plecker is quoted as making the astounding statement that he did not believe that there were any Indians in Virginia and he and his associates are seeking to establish this fact by statute. When this is established, then the reservations occupied by the Pamunkey and the Mattaponi Indians would necessarily pass to the State of Virginia. There would be, legally speaking, no pure Indians to occupy them inasmuch as their status would be changed to that of Negroes This will mean a long bitter legal controversy with the ablest attorneys in the commonwealth drawing "fat" fees from the poor Indians. Crittain it is the beginning of a bitter racial controversy for the reason that some of the leading Virginians in this State will be affected by it. We have before stated that a law, constitutionally speaking, cannot be made retroactive. That is to say, that the status of infants born the day or the next day after the new statute becomes effective would have their status defined by this legislation. Once declared legally an Indian, always an Indian; once legally and constitutionally declared a Negro, always a Negro. The Negroes though are becoming interested in this new legislation only for the reason that they do not care to have fifty thousand or more mixed white folks thrown over into their reservation, which is already crowded with a population of the past and is being steadily augmented by the addition of these white Negroes of the present.

Court HOUSE BUNCOMB COUNTY Court HOUSE, ASHEVILLE,N.C. This Week By Arthur Brisbane PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES A learned legislator says married woman ought not to work, and if their husbands earn as much as $2,000 a year, the women's earnings should be taxed 20 per cent. Under old laws a husband could what his wife earned; even now England he controls the children that she produces. For the State to rebuke her industry by taxing her earnings 20 per cent would be something new. Bolhevism decides that little girls must not play with the bourgeois or capitalist idea of family life, developing a taste for motherhood and household duties. Bolshevian interprets the little girl with a doll correctly, but will no more overcome the love of dolls than it could overcome the instinct of self preservation. Maternity is planted in the hearts of little girls by a Power far above Bolshevism, just as ambition of another kind is planted in the hearts of little boys. And that ambition is what makes Communism an impossibility. Dr. M. S. Taylor wires from Chicago, "Contribute your opinion on legalizing companion marriage. That question was settled when Eve appeared from Adam's rib. Woman is naturally monogamous, is determined to make man so, will do to give marriage is the school of monogamy. A companionate marriage expresses doubt, proves lack of the confidence on which marriage should be based, and, while it is perfectly legal now, divorce being legal, it is a poor, cold-blooded sort of marriage. Fortunately, the average young couple have no doubts whatever, and only regret the marriage cannot last a million years, just to prove it. Sometimes they are disappointed, nearly always through the husband's fault. But meanwhile the children have been born, blessed with the in- New Court House ST.

The value of a man depends on the respect of his father and his mother for each other. If husband and wife start marriage in doubt, each leaving the door open for escape, the children's inferiority will reflect their parents "I may decide to quit" marriage. The important thing in marriage is the quality of the children, and the next generation. William Fox has bought 307 more theatres, seating 350,000 for $100,-000,000. Twenty-five years ago Fox got into the theatre business because his employer refused to raise his $17 a week salary. Fox had just married. The employer said, "Not only I can't raise your $17 a week, but you are getting $2 too much. I am going to pay what you are worth, $15." Fox had saved $580 on $17 a week, got control of a tiny moving picture theatre, that could take in $7.30 when packed. Now he has 356 theatres. Always save something. If you have brains it will increase. If not, saving will keep you out of the poor house, anyhow. The Prince of Wales, hopefully discussing trade revival, wonders whether human beings invented earrings or trousers first. Man's passion for adornment, he thought, probably produced earrings before clothes. He is right about that. Darwin tells of Patagonian ladies living in a cliff often without shoes, would not think of wearing their huts to a stranger see them until they had painted their faces and arranged their hair. But they did come out without one stitch of clothing. A British nobleman, by the way, owns a pearl earring taken from the ear of King Charles the First after his head had been cut off. The United States pays more toward the expenses of the League of Nations than any other country except Britain—although we are not in the League. That's usual. We paid more than any other nation for that big war—about fifty-nine million dollars a day while we were in it, and we lent the allied fighters ten thousand millions of dollars—yet it wasn't our war. Our troubles will come in America when our natural resources are exhausted—oil, oil, iron, forests, etc. At present we are busy using, wasting. Some day we may be busy retesting. Emil Kelchik, sent to Sweden by Héctor Hower's Department of Commerce, reports that Sweden has solved her forest problem.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Common Sense Pays. An old friend of mine had a hernia—he called it "rupture." For many years this minor affliction had been with him. Assured that a simple operation, and that only, would cure him permanently, he testily replied that he "objected to carving." It was pathetic to see him draw from his pocket a half-dozen lurid circularies, adjust his glasses, and read—read the glittering offer, "a cure, or your money back." Could anything be fairer? One day he came into my office, carrying a small package. "Doc," he announced, "I've got this outfit—but he sez to get my physician to put it on for me!" I read the "instructions," which "assumed that your doctor is an intelligent person." O, the irony—the immaculate gall of it! But this old man had trusting faith in me—with certain limitations, and I loved him. I unpacked the thing—found a few strips of adhesive, a small pad with about a cent's worth of hokum on it, some pieces of cheap gauze, and big, black-letter instructions and "cautions." All of which I observed to the letter, and to my customer's delight. He had spent some ten dollars, and had a right to the benefits, if any. It didn't cure him. It didn't benefit him. He didn't get any money back. He was informed that "evidently the pad was not properly applied—in view of which we will sell you another for half price!" No, dear reader, this is not a fable; every word of it is true. But it has a moral: The only way to convince a fool, is to let him gung. The pity of it all, is that the thousands of dollars spent annually for "hokum" is extracted from lean pocket-books. d Classic Beauty BUNCOMB COUNTY Court House, ASHEVILLE, N.C.

LAKEWOOD A On the west bank of the Mississippi river, in Pointe Coupee Parish Louisiana, far back in a magnificent grove of oaks, there stands today the stately and remarkably preserved old French Colonial mansion, built for his price by the Marquis Ternant, about 1788. This beautiful nome is an exceptionally fine example of faithful Colonial design carried out in emptil and pleasing manner. By expert architect with the four dormers two on each side the designer created a most attractive and distinctive exterior. At the time of its erection there were few professionally trained architects in America. Some of the architects had, however, acquired a knowledge of the basic principles of design and construction. Such was the Marquis Ternant. These lines are simple and the proportions good. It is refined and distinguishes itself by looking a tribute to the trace and judgment of the builder a French nobleman who with many other members of the nobility settled in Louisiana shortly before the French Revolution. The house was designed with a view to meeting such climatic and building conditions as prevail in the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. The entire basement is above ground, as is customary in this low country where for many reasons it is necessary to set a house on a high foundation. The delicate columns and ace balustrades, the many-paned windows, the generous hospitable porch when it is merely around the house.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA For almost six generals this time-honored homestead he built the traditions of Louisiana history. During the Civil War, General Banks of the Union Army, on his way up the Mississippi River, made it his headquarters. General Dick Taylor also stopped over the war. The Justice White of the Supreme Court of the United States as a young man spent much of his time on the bronze porcelain studying law. The house is now occupied by the Patriang family, direct descendants of the Margus daughter. This historic mansion is constructed throughout of Louisiana Red Cypress cut from the swamps on the place. The rafters and heavy timers were hewn to shape and put together with wooden pegs. The interior has hand-carved Red Cypress moldings and antique panel-work which still preserves the characteristic grandeur of the eighteenth century. The house is an excellent example of the substantial building methods of Colonial days and of the encuring qualities of Louisiana Red Cypress. Today architecture is a leading profession. Men highly trained in the technique of design, and its practical application, are to be found almost everywhere. Most of our larger, finer and more beautiful homes and other structures were professionally designed, and the architect is becoming more of a factor in the small homes field also. This tendency is reflecting itself in a constant improvement in design and construction. By Dorothy Wright the wrists are pasted on either side. The nut cups are made from little clowns cut from crepe paper mounted on cardboard, and fastened to red frilled paper cups with wire. Valentine aprons and caps may be easily made, too. For the aprons are simply large hearts cut from decorated crepe paper and pasted to gathered skirt sections.

C. Coleman of Wichita, Kans. "Old Dobbin will be as rare as the ones within the next twenty years," predicted Mr. Coleman, head of the Coleman Lamp and Stove Company.
