THE RICHMOND PLANET COLORED ATTORN'Y KILLED Bloody Scenes in Chicago--Republicans Rally--Senator Deneen Wins Fight--Lowden Backed for Presidency VOLUME XLV, NO. 23 COL Bloody Deneen Chicago, April 10.—Chicago went to the polls today with sluggings, kidnappings and other forms of violence accompanied by the murderous rat-tat-tat of machine guns. A day of numerous charges and counter-charges of physical instead of electoral action by both sides came to a close with the spectacular machine gun killing of a negro attorney, who was opposing the Thompson-Crowe candidate for Committeeman in the Twentieth Ward. Late tonight reports were still being received of the kidnapping of election officials and beatings administered to party workers. Chicago did not seem very much disturbed, despite the frequent reports of violence. Some persons even went so far as to call it a peaceful election. Judge Edmund Jarecki of the Election Commissioner's forces, however, said it was "the most hectic in his six years' experience with the job." 8.000 Citizens and the Police. Eight thousand special citizen watchers appointed by Judge Jarecki to aid some 5,000 police in guarding the polls were unable to prevent the outbreaks. But according to official reports these augmented forces did quell disturbances quickly when they arose. The negro politician slain was Octarius Granady, an ex-service man, who opposed Morris Eller, Thompson-Crouch candidate for committee representative of the Twentieth Ward. Granady was shot to death while riding in an automobile with two friends. Witnesses told detectives that the killing was the work of seven men armed with pistols and a machine gun who rode in an automobile bearing the banners of Morris Eller. With Granady in his car, which carried banners extolling the candidacy of Secretary of State Louis D. Emerson, opponent of Governor Len Small, and other candidates of the faction headed by Senator Charles S. Deneen, were Euclid Taylor a law student, and Thomas Clark, both negroes. They were on a tour of inspection of the ward and, according to witnesses, as they rounded a corner, the gunmen's car roared alongside. Pistols barked four times. Granady sent his car away in wild flight. The gunmen chased it. Taking another corner on two wheels the Granady car veered, climbed the curb and crashed into a tree. As the death car reached it with grinding brakes the machine gun got into action. With that deadly rat-tat-tat sounding above the cries of the pursued and pursurer, the fire of bullets was poured into the Granady automobile, Granady was killed instantly. Taylor was wounded in the scald what happened to him. As the negro politician dropped to the sidewalk the gunmen speed away. Chicago, April 11.—Rising in mighty revolt against the political faction headed by Governor Small and Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, Republicans of Illinois yesterday buried them under an avalanche of hostile ballots that swelled to record-breaking proportions today as belated returns piled up the totals. Buried under the load of ballots with the "America First" banner was the Small-Thompson-Crowe candidate for governor the factional candidate for United States senator. the Small-Thompson lesser State officee the factional leader of the state's attorney in Cook county, and even Mayor Thompson himself, who was defeated for ward commiteeeman. Emerging victorious from the hottest and most acrimonious primary campaign was almost an entire slate sponsored by the United States Senator Charles S. Deneen with heads of the ticket carrying majorities expected to reach or exceed 400,000 votes. Virtually the only solace the Small-Thompson-Crowe faction obtained was control of the Republican machine in Cook county and nominations to a few minor offices in the county while Representative Martin B. Madden, sponsored by this faction, had won over William Dawson, his Negro opponent. Emmerson Swamps Small. Louis L. Emmerson, secretary of state and Deneen candidate for governor, opposing Governor Small, who was up for a third term, had piled up a majority of more than 360,000 on returns from 5,111 of the state's 6,634 precincts, a lead which, if maintained, will give him a final advantage of more than 450,000 votes. Colonel Frank L. Smith who asked the people for vindication at the polls after twice being refused a seat in the United States senate because of his acceptance of primary campaign contributions from public utilities two years ago, was more than 190,000 votes behind Otis F. Glenn, his Deneen adversary, on returns from 4,815 precincts. If Glenn maintained his lead, he will have a majority of more than 250,000 votes. The figures for governor for 5,111 precincts were: Emmerson, 821,329; Small, 460,389; and for senator from 4,814 precincts: Glenn, 639,284; Smith, 445,836. Crowe Is Trailing. In Cook county the Small-Thompson standard-bearer, Robert E. Cripps, running for re-election as state's attorney, trailed the Deneen entry, Judge John A. Swanson, more than 100,000 votes and Swanson apparently will have a final majority of more than 125,000. The figures from 2,480 of the county's 3,056 precincts was: Swanson, 377,654; Crowe, 208,247. From the political wreckage wrought by the election the Small-Thompson faction scrambled today in Chicago to face three separate investigations of its activities, at least one of them directed by its outspoken enemy. A federal grand jury which last week started an investigation of bombings, prohibition law violations and slaying attributed to politics resumed its inquiries today, and at the same time Omar E. Carlstrom, attorney general, was nominated on the Deneen ticket, was appealed to to investigate disorder in town, the day's primary, particularly the slaying of a Negro Deneen committee. County Judge Edmund K. Jarecki, on complaint of Deneen workers that the Small-Thompson faction had held up returns and delayed the count started a separate inquiry into possible election irregularities. Write In Smith In the popular presidential referendum, Frank O. Lowden, war governor of Illinois, the only candidate whose name was entered, had piled up 635,733 votes from 3,800 precincts, while 2,500 Republican voters wrote in the name of President Coolidge, and on the Democratic ticket, in which no names were entered, 4,917 persons, in 459 precincts, wrote in the name of Governor Smith, of New York, and, 2,617 wrote in Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri. Heads of the ticket on the Democratic ballot for the most part were without opposition. The "crime campaign," which revolved about the states attorney's contest between Crowe and Judge Swanson, attracted sharper interest in Chicago than the governorship, Judge Swanson, whose home, with that of Senator Deneen, was bombed sixteen days ago, was increasing his lead as late returns came from the slow-counting Chicago polling places. Returns from 1,240 of the county's 3,056 precincts gave Swanson 162,718 to Crowe's 104.2.

SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1928 THE BAPSTIT MINISTERS' CONFERENCE OF RICHMOND AND VICINITY There seems to be a belief among a few of our church members that the Baptist Ministry Conference meets with the primary object of discussing ways and means of using the sacred office of the ministry to the personal advantage of the men in charge of our pulpits. That this belief is unfounded and erroneous need not be stated to those of our Baptist constituency who are better informed. The Conference is a necessary part of the minister's life and our churches whose pastors are regular in attendance are the richer because of the opportunities of their pastors to come in contact and exchange ideas with men whose work and ideals are the same as their own. Again, there are men among the Conference membership, whose training has been exceptional, who are ever willing to offer opinions and advice, which based upon their superior advantages are of great value. The constitution of the Conference states in no uncertain terms that its object shall be the promotion and satisfaction of its membership by the consideration, and discussion of such questions, subjects, napers, measures and sermons, as may be helpful to its membership." The object is constantly before the body and constitutes its one and only excuse for existence, therefore, what the clinic is to the physician or the court-room to the lawyer, the Conference is to the minister. Contrary to the idea of some, the Conference does not interest itself in the individual problems of our churches, believing that each church can best settle its problems in its own way, its object is to be of help to the ministers, broadening the horizon of his thought and strengthening his grasp on things of the spirit. On this point too the constitution is clear, "Nor shall it entertain or consider any question of church polity as related to church-troubles which might be brought before it for advice." Needless to say the Conference believes in a Divine Call to the ministry and accepts this as being first and all else secondary to the success of the man who would 'venture into the mighty task of soul winning. It believes also in an educated ministry, knowing that if this generation is to be saved there must be educated men in the pulpit. In this age of books there are but few congregations in our city not composed of people of some education. The conference, therefore, urges young men to prepare themselves for the age in which they must live and preach, thus adding to their usefulness and incidently save their future congregations from the embarrassment of one which heard its pastor announce that he would preach on "The Seven Paints of Jestification." Furthermore, the Conference does not encourage among its membership those whose ideas of dignity and deportment fail to conform to accepted standards. Contrary to the belief of some that such men are harbored and protected, the constitution again speaks in emphatic terms, "In case there is a damaging rumor concerning conduct of any member of this Conference, upon hearing of same the Conference shall resolve itself into executive session. In case this rumor is proven the said member shall forerun." feit his membership in this Con- The Conference sessions are open to the public, the members of our churches are invited to attend and thus become acquainted with its work and object; and having seen, urge, insist and make it possible for your pastor to attend, his contact with the brethren will be reflected in the life and influence of our church.

ACTION IS EXPLAINED Washington, April 10.—It was said today at the Department of Commerce that a small census bureau divisional organization made up of negroes had been broken up in the Census Bureau because racial segregation was forbidden. A department statement said: A department statement said: "In the course of its regular duties, the Bureau of the Census developed a Division of Statistics, dealing exclusively with matters relating to the colored population. The whole division was small enough to be housed in a single room, and as an administrative measure its staff was temporarily composed entirely from the color employees of the bureau. The on return of the Director from Europe recently it was held that the circumstances of such a divisional organization would amount to racial organization, which is forbidden under the policy of the depar. The members of the staff which had been assembled for the experiment were at once redistributed through the organization." Read the advertisement of the Union Life Insurance Company.

Washington, April 10—Reading into the record today a newspaper story which appeared several days ago that Secretary Hoover had ordered Negro cieers in the census bureau to be located on the floor with white persons. Senator Blease, of South Carolina, decared such action would foreclose any hope of the Republicans breaking the "Solid South" at the next election. The article appeared in the Washington Post, and it was said today at the department that at the time a statement was issued explaining that a small census bureau divisional organization made up of Negroes had been broken up in the bureau because racial segregation was forbidden. Senator Blease had read a letter from a "white woman" whose name was not revealed complaining of the action and terming the Negroes in the bureau in which she worked "Hoover chocolates." "This is exactly what brought the Republican party into disrepute in the South." Blease said, "and made its name a stench in the nostrils of all white people. "In the South we believe the white race superior to the Negro race, and we never expect to permit a social equality between the two. If this Hoover policy is continued, there need not be any dreams among the Republicans of breaking the Solid South." Please also complained because the postoffice department had refused to remove a postmaster at Anderson, S. C., whom he claimed was a resident of Savannah, Ga.

N. Walker, President, Mutual Insurance Company of Rich- mond, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: In answer to your communication of March 27th, which reached my office during my absence from the city, will say that so far as this Department has any knowledge you have not discriminated in any way between your policyholders and that your policies, premiums and rates seem to be thoroughly in keeping with other companies doing similar business in the State. Your company has complied with all the Laws of Virginia and the requirements of the Insurance Department. It is a fact that all progressive companies from time to time make improvements in their policies, thereby giving additional benefits, but this in nowise affects a contract already in existence. It has a right to give unlimited sick benefits or increase the benefits whenever it so desires. This is a matter which is entirely within the discretion of the company and with which the department has nothing to do. Very truly yours, Jos. Button, Commissioner of Insurance & Banking WILLIAM C. MATHEWS One of First Negroes to Become Noted as Lawyer Dies at 50. Boston, April 10—Word was received here today of the sudden death in Washington, D. C., of William C Mathews of this city, a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States. Mathews, who was 50 years old and a negro, was one of the first of his race to become noted as a lawyer. He was born in Montgomery, Ala., in 1877, and after attending the Tuskegee School studied at Phillips Andover Academy and at Harvard where he was graduated in 1905. He was a famous athlete in his school and college days. NATIONAL IDEAL'S NEW BUILDING The new structure of the National Ideal Society, under the leadership of Supreme Worthy Master A. W.

Church held Easter services that Sunday morning, Rev W. M. Stratley, the parlor, in charge. The exercises were highly interesting. Something in a sensation was caused when Attorney William F. Denny arose and announced that the wife of Rev F. Herman Gow, who was a former resident of this city, was in the congregation and he asked that she stand up and say a word. Rev Gow, who is now laboring in the Transvaal, South Africa, spoke and paid a glowing tribute to her Madame, saying that she was just as good a preacher as he was. Mrs. Gow, nee Ballon, has easily came forward, bowed her acknowledgment and returned to her seat. Rev Gow said that conditions in the Transvaal, South Africa, were worse than those existing in Mississippi. Continuing, he said he was born in the Transvaal and was educated in this country. "Some day Africa will come back. She will take her place among the nations of the world. I only fear that when the day comes, Africans will give back to their oppressors the same kind of treatment that has been accorded to them. How many have ever been made to feel that they can rise? Race consciousness has been dwarfed I cannot tell you now. When the change comes I shall be pleased to tell you what Africa has done." Dr. F. H. Gow, returned missionary from South Africa will preach at 3rd Street A. M. E. Church. Sunday morning on the subject, "The Christ of the African," Mrs. Gow will speak on Sunday night, subject, "South Africa from a Woman's Point of View."

Albert J. Reid Fighting Irishman at Head of U. S. Shipping Board Breaks Tradition of Washington Office Holders Fighting Irishman at Head of U. S. Shipping Board Breaks Tradition of Washington Office Holders WASHINGTON, D. G. — A new kind of entity officer has just been announced in Washington. He is T. V. Cummar, chief, two chiefs-staff of the United States Shipping Board, former longshoreman and ocean-engineer, who has shared traction at the National Capital by urging Congress to take power away from him. Most government officials hedge and get scared when Congress tinkers with their job, but while debate is going on over what shall be done with the first of government owned ships with the right characteristic of the race, declares, in a statement on the whole merchant marine question: The duty of the United States shipping Board is to carry out the provisions of the Merchant Marine Act, (of 1920) by which Congress imposed the intention of developing American Merchant Marine ultimately to be owned and operated in the United States. In other words, O'Connor says "all the ships no matter what happens to our job." O'Connor says further that, "If America is to have a real merchant marine successfully operated on a permanent basis, at least four important legislative steps must be taken in the immediate future. Today the British, the Italian, the Norwegian and the Dutch flags fly over fourteen-knot and sixteen-knot cargo vessels in competition with American steamers that go at best at eleven knots. We have got to make it possible for our citizens to build some of our own ships." "It has long been known that private American capital cannot compete in international trade on an equal footing with the ships of other nations unless some manner of aid T.V. O'CONNER CHAIRMAN U.S. SHIPPING BOARD is given them by the government. First, I believe, a policy of generous compensation for the carriage of foreign mails on long term contracts would be of great advantage to private American ships. The Ocean Mail Act of 1891 was passed for this purpose, but the rates included therein are insufficient to meet modern requirements in view of increased costs of operation. The effect of new legislation along this line, therefore, would be to bring this twenty-seven-year-old law up to date. "The second aid would be in the liberalization of the terms under which loans are made to shipbuilder and operator from the present construction loan fund administered by the Shipping Board. The United States Government has probably the greatest borrowing power and the best credit of any single institution in the world and for that reason the Treasury has row money away to the government of interest for business purposes. By using this power to create a fund for ship construction loan purposes, we would find the Government providing our shipowners with funds for construction at no low a rate of interest as 9% or 8% without incurring any expense to the taxpayer. "A third method of extending in direct and would be the occupation from federal tax of interest derived by American government for defense goods to the extent that the profits in this exception should be allowed to be devoted to new ship construction. The advantages of this to the shipowner are obvious. "A fourth proposition might be the establishment for the Navy Department of a merchant marine naval reserve in accordance with which a certain proportion of the wage paid to crew would be borne by the Navy. Our merchant mariners would then exist in the reserve for specified periods and would be subject to call in case of national need. Their services on such occasions, however, would be confined to the merchant ships required by the Navy for its operations. "At the present time a change in standard of ships is in progress.

SATURDAY.....APRIL 14, 1928 Good white folks are not all dead and bad colored folks are very much alive. Some people think more of dress than they do of their souls, even though the dress wears out and the soul lives on. Colored folks imitate white folks When it comes to minstrels the white folks imitate colored folks of the blackest kind. If you think you can get anywhere in this government without voting and assuming its responsibilities like the best class of white folks do, you are very much mistaken. Some colored folks work all day, sport all night and are then surprised when they find themselves in a hospital or some body else finds them in an undertaker's wagon. Read race newspapers and pay for these you read. There is a veritable army of newspaper 'dead-beats.' They will walk six blocks to borrow a colored newspaper without paying for it. Children are receiving much training of the mind in the public schools, but are not sent to the place where they can receive the regeneration of their hearts in the Sunday Schools. If some of these folks about here don't furnish better bootleg whiskey at the price, there will be a large crowd of colored folks at the recruiting station of the Prohibition Army. Their slogan is "Good liquor or no liquor." WHAT NEGROES WANT The Richmond, Va., News-Leader, of April 9th under the caption, "The Negroes Want More Than Parks or Playgrounds" deals plainly with a most unsatisfactory situation and makes a strong plea for improvement in dealing with this large aggregation of our body politic. We are impressed with the fact that this minority of our white population which is anxious to do even and exact justice to all classes is making a persistent fight to bring about a change in existing conditions. The leaven is working, but it will be a long time before a full fruition of their hopes and ours shall be realized. Be that as it may we encourage statements sound "nightly good" to those of us who hope to live long enough to see the fulfillment of all of our hopes. The News-Leader says: There is something most humanly amusing in the statement of representative Negroes that they had rather have playmates for their children than parks and themselves. Even more touching is the sentiment, not yet expressed in ablue, but felt among thousands of Negroes, that if the city is to appropriate any money for relieving their condition, it can most advantageously be spent in saving the Negroes from the plague of dust in summer and the bane of mud in winter. In the older Negro quarter north of Broad, no streets are naved or even oiled, unless they happen to be thoroughfares. Even the best Negro residential street, Leigh, was never given a modern surfacing until the city wanted to utilize it in relieving congestion on Broad street. The depth of the dust in old Jackson ward is measured by the length of time since the last downfall. The thickness of the mud can be gauged by the record of precipitation at the weather bureau. Nothing is ever done to lessen either dust or mud. If a long dry spell comes, the Negroes pray for rain. If the rain falls more than a few hours, they have to pray to be delivered from the mud. Is it not the duty of a thriving, wealthy city, a believer in justice, to improve this condition? The Negroes of Richmond own $2,350,000 of real estate, according to the last available figures, and $2,216,000 of personal property. Richmond gets the taxes on about $3,000,000 of this—or around $6,000 a year. This, of course, does not pay for the schools the city supplies or for the municipal service it renders, but it is a reminder that the Negroes are taxpayers. Many thousands of white citizens, it must be remembered in all fairness, pay no more in taxes than these Negroes do, yet where the councilman who would deny them a share of the new smooth-paving, simply because they are poor? This is a strong plea for justice. It may be accentuated and emphasized by the statement that the person, who pays the taxes on real-estate is not the owner, unless he himself occupies the property, but the tenant, who pays the rent. The labor elements, organization etc., have a slogan that as labor creates all wealth, all wealth belongs to labor. The Negroes constitute the laboring classes of this community and add more to the wealth of this municipality than these official records show. Even this statement, though is unnecessary in the face of the eminently fair statement made by our esteemed contemporary. It concludes as follows: It costs $3,000 a mile to oil the average 30-foot street, the type that is most common in the negro sections. Thirty thousand dollars, half that the Negroes pay in taxes in a year, would pay ten miles. It was Mayor Bright's boast during the municipal campaign that his administration had hard-surfaced sixteen miles of city streets in four years and had oiled 117. Let justice be compounded now with energy, and a part of the oiling for 1928 be done for those who have no votes with which to demand it, and no hope of getting it otherwise than through the fairplay of the white people. This is a condition and not a theory that confronts the present administration. Back up this pea by organized action and it may be that the financial wheels of the city may be made to turn in the direction of those sections of the city where colored folks reside. A GLEAM OF HOPE That veteran journalist, race leader and statesman, Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, and that race devotee, William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Mass., together with their associates, including Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan of Washington, and others may well congratulate themselves upon the promulgation of the order by Hen. Herbert Hoover that there shall be no segregation in the Bureau of tensus at Washington, D. C. It has been a long, bitter fight, the culmination of which is all that one could wish. The comment of Hon. Cole Blease of South Carolina needs hardly merit attention as what he says is mostly for political consumption. Colored people, who know him in South Carolina say that personally he is friendly with the Negroes of his own State and will do what h can to aid them. It is the other folks Negroes in other States, especially those of the North that he is "digging after." This movement at Washington will have a most beneficial effect throughout the country. Colored folks are tired of being treated as pariads. They can be trusted to keep their own distances by their own self-respect and this is enough. Secretary Hoover and his associates will suffer no embarrassment in according to the better class of colored people the rights to which they are justly entitled under the law. SMITH AND THE PRESIDENCY Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York is the storm center in Democratic politics at this time and the disturbance has extended to the Republican ranks, for that party must name a candidate reasonably certain to beat him should be nominated. The real purpose of tens of thousands of Democrats is to keep a Roman Catholic communicant out of the White House at Washington. While not saying so they are resorting to practices closely akin to those, which would be invoked should a Negro or a Jew be nominated for the great honor. It is a well-known fact that Governor Smith is a "vote getter" certainly in New York state and this prestige has extended to other States, where loyal Democrats reside and who want that juicy political plum, the 45 electoral votes of New York to be transferred from the Republican to the Democratic column. There are three issues against this brilliant New Yorker, one of which is spoken under breath and the other two openly proclaimed from the housetops. Gov. Smith is a devout Roman Catholic and Senator J. Thomas Heflin, who is as bitter in his attitude to Gov. Smith as a Roman Catholic as he would be towards him as a Negro declares that he would be subject to the influence of the Pope of Rome. This is strenuously denied by that Church. The other reason is that he is a leader in Tammany Hall and that this organization would exert pernicious influence upon him should he occupy the White House. The other reason is that he is a "Wet." He does not believe in these drastic prohibition laws, although he sweeps to support and uphold these laws as long as they are upon the statute books. In a statement denouncing Gov. Smith, Senator J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama is quoted as saying: "Did you know that while Al Smith has been elected Governor of New York four times he has never carried but four counties of the State, and that the four counties carried by him THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA are the big Catholic counties? The other fifty-nine counties in the State, every one of them, have gone against him every time he has been a candidate for Governor. "In the States where the Catholics control the Democratic organization the Al Smith leaders are having early Presidential conventions and primaries for the purpose of influencing other States that will act later in the Spring. God help the Democrats of Alabama to see the importance of going to the polls in the primary on May 8th, and voting for delegates who will vote against and work against the nomination of Al Smith. The New York Times, quietly met this statement by quoting from the official records as follows: Governor Smith in 1926 carried nine counties of the State when he was elected Governor. These counties were Albany, Bronx, Clinton, Kings, New York, Oneida, Queens, Remsenler and Richmond. In 1924 Governor Smith carried six counties in his election. These were Albany, Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and Richmond. In 1922, when Governor Smith defeated Nathan L. Miller, he carried 18 counties. These were Albany, Bronx, Erie, Hamilton, Kings, Monroe, Montgomery, New York, Oneida, Onondaga, Queens, Rensselaer, Richmond, Rockland, Saratoga, Scheenecty, Sullivan and Westenest counties. In 1918, running against Charles S. Whitman, Governor Smith carried nine counties in the State. These were Bronx, Hamilton, Kings, Lewis, New York, Queens, Rensselaer, Richmond and Sullivan counties. This means that New York state is normally Republican, that the heavy Tammany Democratic vot; overcomes the Republican majority from upstate and gives this New Yorker his plurality upon the face of the returns. Hon. William G. M. Adoo is leading the movement against Alfred E. Smith, by supporting Senator Walsh, a Roman Catholic, in order to def- at him at Houston, Texas. The outlook is not bright for the success of this movement. It appears that the fight will be at the polls in November. Smith may be beaten for President, but he will surely give any candidate named by the Republicans "a run for his money." ADMITTED FACTS. We have received from President L. K. Williams, of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., a copy of the Nashville, Tenn., National Baptist Voice of February 18, 1928, in which appears an article by Attorney Chas. M. Roborson, under the caption of "Feelings and Fallacies Versus Facts in the National Training School Discussion." We have noted carefully the facts or alleged facts therein set forth. It is a clear statement of the position of the National Baptist Convention and its very able president. We are frank to say that on the face of the returns, President Williams has proven his case, that if the letter-head carries the following, "Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, Organized September, 1900, Owns and Controls the National Training School for Women and Girls," and this is true, then the Woman's Convention, if so disposed, should have the power and authority to name its trustees. But, legally speaking, under the charter of the National Training School, it has legally delegated this power to the trustees of the National Training School, and this is a perpetual right. But what is worrying us is, if the Woman's Convention owns and controls the National Training School for Women and Girls, where do the Baptist men come in, even though this female body is auxiliary to them? If it is a woman's affair, why clog the wheels of the National Baptist Convention with a controversy, which belongs almost exclusively to one of its subordinate branches? There must be a "bug under the chip" somewhere, and what kind of a one is it? The National Training School was organized when the National Baptist Convention was an unincorporated body and had no incorporated existence. It was in a large measure irresponsible. It could not sue and be sued. This child has grown into womanhood with "crooked" limbs, so to speak. The time to straighten them out without mortal injury to the individual has passed. In this connection we might remark that the National Baptist Convention has power. Will it pay to exercise it? One has said, "All things lawful are not expedient." Grover Cleveland was made famous by his declaration, "It is a condition and not a theory that confronts us," while Shakespeare in the "Merchant of Venice" pictured Shylock as demanding his "pound of flesh," to which he was entitled under the law. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs has given her reasons for the naming of truntees. She has sacrificed vital energies and laid a life's endeavors upon the sacrificial altar for this "child of hers." Its welfare is the thing nearest her heart. She has been permitted liberties and given power, the like of which will never be vouchsanded to any other person again. It seems to us that from a sentimental standpoint, from a common-sense vantage, it would be best leave her and the Woman's Aux- Moore St. Bapt.

We have much more to say upon this all-important subject. For the present, "Let us bear and forbear." Under the laws of the District of Columbia, the control of this corporation is in the hands of a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Agitation will only make conditions worse. The only way out is to accept existing conditions and aid the work or get out another charter and organize another training school, just as you organized another Baptist Publishing House. Selah.

After waitup thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, unravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to so 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. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. J. A. PAGE. 1 am. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Richmond, I received your treatment O.

SHERWOOD ANDERSON, famous novelist and short story writer, among the type cases of his weekly newspaper in Marion, Virginia. Mr. Anderson created a sensation last holiday when he left New York. Famous Writer, Turned Country Paper Editor, Boosts the Town Band No wonder the Marion band of Marion, Virginia, considers its troubles are over, says the Coan Music Center, Eikhart, Ind. Sherwood Anderson, who is reported to get a nickel a word for his short stories, is championing the band with a half to a column article every week in the Marion papers, which he recently bought. Not only has this highly paid writer stirred up support in Marion, but any national figures have come to the support of the band. Otto Kahn, international banker and donor to the Metropolitan Opera, has contributed $100. H. L. Mencken, "cussed" or praised by perhaps more people than any other writer in America, chipped in $12. So did Horace Liveright, well known publisher. Alfred Knopf, another publisher of New York City, came across with $5, as did also Fred Black, Ford Motor Co., Detroit, and Brig. General Rosenbaum, Washington, D. C. P Famous Wr County B No wonder the Marion band of Marion over, says the Coan Music Center, Lilke is reported to get a nickel a word for hi band with a half to a column article ever he recently bought. Not only has this highly paid writer many national figures have come to the Otto Kahn, international banker and de- contributed $100. H. L. Mencken, "eus people than any other writer in Ameri- c Riveright, well known publisher. Alfred York City, came across with $5, as did Detroit, and Brig. General Rosenbaum, Showwood Anderson says he is not an uplifter. He claims he took up the band cause from his own selfish desires. He says he likes a band, band music just suits him. He would like to play the biggest horn in the band himself but lacks ability. He would like to be the drum major best of all, the drummer, but he doesn't like the figure. It's in his system, I guess, as his father used to play a concert in the same town band with the late President Harding. His First Story "What does a band mean to a town?" Anderson asks in one of his first stories. "Better ask what is a town without a band! Life in a town goes on, just so. You know how it is. merchants selling goods, lawyers fighting their cases, farmers coming into town to buy goods, Spring, summer, fall, winnere. People in their houses, women cooking, making beds. Life is dull enough. "Days come. See, the men of the land have put on their uniforms and the coming up along the street. The big drum is booming, the horns going. "Just suppose now, in our town, we are visited by some great man. Hurah now, let's give him a big day. It may be the governor of some or some military. Our principal are going to meet him down at the station. They have their best cars there, the biggest and best cars we have in town, all our leading citizens. And no hand. Pahaw! What a frost. "And what about Aristotle Day and the Fourth of July?" "Or when the fair is on." "Older men, stalk citizens of a town may be able to get along without a band but what about the boys?" "When I was a boy my one great yearning was to play the biggest horn in the town band. I never made it. There never was much music in me." "Still and all, I'm not a jealous man. What I can't have I don't want to take away from the other fellow." Fund of the Band I still like a band better than almost anything else in a town. Band music just suits me. There they come up the street. Lately I have only seen the Marion band in action a few times and then they didn't have any drum major. I hope they get one again soon. I like to see the fellow in the big bearskin hat with his staff and staggering high and wide. (Above)—MARION KIWANIS BAND. This fine little band not only furnishes the 3500 people of Marion with music on summer evenings and during celebrations but recently made a trip to Washington, D.C. playing in 22 cities along the way. This is the band Sherwood Anderson is "rooting" for and to whose support Otto Kahn and the rest contributed. Frank Lieto, director, extreme left. (Left)—Sherwood Anderson says he is happier because he has rescued the band in Marion than if he had written the year's Best Seller, not because he is as good a "good deed" but because he'll be sure of band concerts this summer. P. HENRY MENCKEN, the famous Baltimore time Bell Wether, who gave a year's dues to the band boys. With his contribution came a note saying, "It is an honor and a pleasure. All I ask is that the boys play 'Die Wacht am Rhein' once a year, preferably on my birthday. Don't let the band die." Anderson wrote back: "O. K. Henry. When is your birthday? We'll have a parade." I'd like to do it myself but I haven't got the future for it. "And how faithful and devoted the band members are. The men of our Marien band, for example, go off to practice twice a week. Far from getting paid for their work they do it without pay. The members even pay does to keep the band going. "Recently, until these last few weeks, our Marien band has had a band leader who was paid a good salary because he was a good man. He was there to keep the boys up to snuff and would be there now but that he is sick. "But the boys are at it just the same. They are keeping the band up. Sacrifices of Bund Men "There are men in the Marien band who make a sacrifice every time they out to play on the ground. Our band more other towns, that haven't any band, would THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page like one too. Our band gets offers to go all over the Southwest. Such offers almost always come when we need them here and they stay at home. Instead of going out and raking in money they stay here and give their services. "And there are individual members of the band who make a sacrifice every time they go out to play. Do they kick? Not they. "The boys of the band like their band, and so do we. Hurrah, here they come. Music floating on the breeze. Every heart jumping. Life. Music. Zipp. "We like that. "The people of Marion owe it to their band to give it the heartiest kind of support. Get back of them. When they need a little money to keep going, shell out. A good band is the best investment a town can make." Join the Glory List "Join the Glory List," Sherwood Anderson headlines another story, and continues. "The Marion Publishing Company doesn't intend to become a crusader. You know how city papers are. Well, we make no pretense of being a big city paper. We are just a little old country week, that's what we are. "Still and all, as Mr. Ring Lardiner is so fond of saying, we do not want the big city papers to hang it all over our eyes. City papers are always getting up a crusade for some good cause. They uplift this one or that one. Sometimes whole sections of society get uplifted like that. It's wonderful. "We aren't, however, quite so ambitious. Up to date we have taken up but one cause and that is the Marian Band. It may be the only one we ever will take up. And we are not doing that out of any altruistic purpose. It's just because we like to hear the band play. We like to see them parade. When a big day comes we like to see them put on their uniforms and come blowing their heads off up Main street. "Flags flying, everyone feeling fine. Life is drab enough on ordinary days. We have never found any way to be a canary bird ourselves. Summer Night Concerts "What we want is to see the band boys have a little money in the treasury. We want band concerts on summer nights. "O, hearts of gold, who will put up $5.00 a year over a period of five years to get and keep our band in bang-up financial condition? We are making this appeal not only to Marionites but to all people in the surrounding country who read this book, we will love to see them town when there is something stirring, or on summer nights to bear the band play. "The King of England, President of France, President of the United States, Senators, Politicians, Millionaires, Rich Authors, Poor Ones, Farmers, Merchants, Anyone welcome. "If you do not want to sign up for SHERWOOD ANDERSON, famous novelist and short story writer, among the type cases of his weekly newspaper in Marion, Virginia. Mr. Anderson created a sensation last November when he left New York City and became publisher of two little weekly papers down among the Blue Ridge Mountains. About the first thing he did was start a campaign for the Marion band. He likes a band "better than almost anything else in a town," he says. His appeals, written in the inimitable Sherwood Anderson style, not only stirred up support among the people of Marion but brought contributions from Otto Kahn, international banker. H. L. Mencken, noted writer and critic, Horace Liveright, well known publisher, and other national figures. 1930 OTTO H. KAHN, international banker, backer of the Metropolitan Opera, music enthusiast and philanthropist, who started the Marion band fund off with a check for $100. Several other contributions from national figures followed but the bulk of the band fund came from Marion people who value the band as one of the biggest things in the town. more than one year or cannot give $5.00, do not let that stop you. "JOIN THE GLORY LIST." Spirit of the Band Anderson says he would like to be the sum major in the band but doesn't have the figures. Well he must be a little plump and his kind action may be a bit stiff but we'll vote for him, anyway. He catches the spirit of the parading band. That's what it takes to be a drum major. "The band represents the town on its gay days," he says. "When the fair comes, when there is a celebration, Fourth of July, any kind of a jamboree when every citizen becomes a boy again, then a good band, stepping gaily out, the drums beating, flags flying—what is a town without a good band? "You cannot have a good band in debt. You cannot expect the boys to blow gaily, step out with real gusto, when they are in debt. To have a good band requires nights of steady practice, it requires sticking to it. What can you expect when the boys have to come to band meeting and plunk down a dollar just for the privilege of working to be good when we want them good? "The boys got a little discouraged. Their leader got sick. A lot of them are working boys. They got a little in debt. This paper is no uplift paper. It is just a good, little old country paper. But we like a band. We began writing about the Marion band in our paper." "Well, don't you worry about old Marion. We will rake in many a five-dollar bill for the boys." Viewpoint of the Band Men Few have gotten the viewpoint of the small town band as has Sherwood Anderson. He has learned from the band men what they are up against. He also appreciates what the band really means to any town. ```markdown ``` "One of the first signs of the decay of a town is when it cannot get up enthusiasm to support a band. The Marion band needs support. Most people don't know it. "In order to keep themselves up to snuff the boys practice twice a week. They pay a dollar a month out of their own pockets. This isn't fair. They should not be asked to do that. The money goes to pay rent for a hall in which to practice, and other residential expenses. "Who will pay the yearly dues for one band boy? This paper will receive it for them. Some of the boys have got behind in their dues. A good many of them work hard for their money. When they get behind they do not feel like coming around to practice and the band suffers. Loyalty of the Band "Only last Armistice Day our band had an offer to go to another town. They could have got $250 for the day. They stuck to Marion. They have always stuck. We ought to stick to them." "There is soon to be a show put on in town a part of the proceeds of which go to the band. Support that when it comes along. If you feel like chipping in to pay some fellow's dues for a year, we will be glad to hear from you." When the campaign has run its course, the Marion band will probably be completely outfitted with quadruple gold-plated horns and uniforms with gold braid three inches wide. Asiway, the people of Marion are assured of band concerts this summer and of having a mappy band to liven up all their rala days with music. THE NEW YORK TIMES HORACE, LIVERIGHT, publisher, play producer and literateur. In a letter he says: "I want a little hand boy of my own. Inclosed find $12 to pay one band boy's dues for the year. Pick me a good one, one with good lungs. Let him blow hard. You tell that band boy that when a big day comes in Marion, I want him to shim- his shoes, comb his hair keep his eyes off the girls and go to it. Worry, why didn't I learn to blow a horn myself when I was younger! I would like nothing better in this world than to be one of the Marion Band Boys. Here's to them."

A., the War Camp Community Service, the Liberty Loan Drives, etc., etc' This Volume tells the world how the Negro has won his place and his right to a voice in the affairs of mankind against prejudice, ridicule, race hatred, and almost insurmountable obstacles. Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Ragiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cannonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Mess would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my predition come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome." THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.

THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how $60,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his mobilizing self-sacrifice, his gallant bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

Robinson, second; Mrs. Lillie Baskerville, third. Grand Presiding Shepherd. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes is in personal charge of this drive and she is ably assisted by Grand Secretary Treasurer Amos C. Clark. The next meeting will be held at the Headquarters Wednesday night, April 18th. Refreshments were served by Daughters Susie J. Williams, Lillie Baskerville and Mary Crump. The inclement weather did not damper the ardor of the Shepherds who attended the Easter entertainment at Daughter Ella M. Thompson's home at Westhampton Easter Monday. We congratulate Daughter Thompson for staging this entertainment. Deputy Lillie E. Baskerville covered herself with glory on last Tuesday night when, in company with Grand Shepherd Ora Brown Stokes, Susie H. Robinson and Susie J. Williams, set apart a large Fold of Shepherts at Midlothian. From all indications she is going to set the pace for a number of our workers this year. She is a member of the office force. Deputy Fannie B. Taulton was as good as her word in that she did not leave Toronto, Ohio, until she had set apart a nice Fold. She is using the crook in a very effective manner these days. Deputy F. J. Dias, who is now in New Jersey, was successful in reinstating the Juvenile in Baltimore, Md. We feel proud of the new Fold which was set apart on the 5th at Emporia by Secretary A. C. Clark. Daughter Dora Powell deserves much credit for the organization of this Fold. Grand Shepherd Ora Brown Stokes and Grand Legal Advisor C. A. McKenzie are still smiling over their success in setting apart a big Fold in Newport News on the 5th. This is the second Fold in Newport News and has in it some of the most influential citizen of the city. We doff our hats to Dr. Thomas, Mrs. Hall and others for this splendid addition to our Order. The Folds throughout the city are getting ready for our annual excursion which will go to Bay Shore on the 17th of July. Let every Fold in Richmond and vicinity find itself in this movement this year. The Committee on Arrangements for our Eighteenth Annual Sermon met at headquarters last Thursday night and began the perfection of plans for this excursion. The Order is looking forward to this day with great anticipation for the biggest celebration of its kind ever witnessed in Richmond. The Shepherds of the West End are planning for a big Shepherds day and night at Fifth Baptist Church on the fifth Sunday in this month. The day will be featured with a parade and a big mass meeting and band concert in the afternoon and a great candle-light service at night. The Shepherds of Philadelphia are planning a big day on the fourth Sunday in May. The Grand Shepherd and Grand Secretary and other members of the Richmond Folds are expected to be present with these Folds in their annual sermon. Let every member of the Order remember the free-will offering to the Welfare Department. It is still coming in nicely and we trust that every member of the Order will have a hand in this great undertaking. Philadelphia Zion Travelers is holding fast to first place, and Mrs. Mary E. Freeman vows that this Fold is "just like a tree planted by the water that cannot be moved." What Fold will accept this challenge and move this Fold down? Deputy Eliza Berkley slipped out in the front rank of our workers last night in the membership campaign when she reported the organization of a Juvenile in Richmond with thirty members. I told you to keep your eyes on her. Arrangements are being perfected for the Big Ten Nights SHEPHERD BAAAAR, which begins Monday Night, April 23rd, at the Shepherd's New Headquarters, Sixth and Leigh Streets. Beautiful booths, games and attractions will be there for you and your friends. Band music every night.
