VOLUMF XI.V, NO. 30 Epoch-E at Ch General Co Changes Eight Years in Meth A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE CLOSES EVENTFUL SESSIONS Four New Bishops Elected—All Bishops Moved By Committee. Flipper Opposes Organic Union. (By R. A. Adams, Staff Writer for Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., May 31.—The "Taps have sounded" for the twenty-eighth quadrennial session of the A. M. E. General Conference; the doxology has been sung, the benediction has been pronounced, and the delegates have returned home, and the conference has become history—part worthy and part unworthy. Plenty of Noise. As to noise and turbulence, the conference measured up to its reputation; in report of finance, it made a commendable showing; in holding the interests of the general public and drawing great crowds it was a record-breaker; but, in actual accomplishments in moulding sentiment in regard to great issues, it was a disappointment, at least to many. Said Little About Evils. Cognizant of the mighty crime wave sweeping the nation, of the rampant lawlessness everywhere in evidence, meeting in Chicago, one of the most lawless cities of the world, knowing that the eyes of the world were on them and the ears of the world strained to hear their utterances, it was expected that these—more than a thousand ministers and laymen—would forth great pronouncements against intemperance, crime, injustices, graft, civic corruption, and would urge law enforcement. But, in regard to these tremendous issues little was said. Materialism Rampant. Rampant, materialism, blatant modernism, immoral and degrading social customs, ultra worldliness among church members were touched very lightly. There was presented and adopted no great program for missionary advancement; and great opportunities were lost, because—first place was given to promotion of men, the election of bishops and general officers, rather than to the things which count largely in human betterment. Measured Up In A Few Things. But the General Conference did measure up in a few things, the chief of which was its action in almost unanimously approving the plan for organic union between the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion Churches. A joint committee composed of bishops and laymen of both churches presented a plan embodying these features: Name United Methodist Episcopal Church; the matter to be passed on by the annual conferences and local churches of both church connections; general conference of the United church to be held in 1930; arrangement in to thirty Episcopal districts; arrangement for combination of departments and allocation of officers to each denomination during the first eight years. Bishop Flipper Opposed Organic union was bitterly opposed by Bishop J. Flipper on the ground that the people are not ready for it and will never unite, that the name "African" should never be dropped, and that the time is not ripe. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church, joined Bishop Flipper in the contention and offered a substitute to the effect that the matter of organic union be deferred for four years. Younger Bishops Support Union. Bishops R. C. Ransom, W. T. Vernon, W. D. Johnson, William A. Fountain and John A. Gregg supported the motion for organic union. Bishop William H. Heard joined Bishops Flipper and Parks in opposition. The laymen of the conference were enthusiastically in favor of the union. Dr. John R. Hawkins and the "radical" Prof. Ira T. Bryant have often disagreed on questions before the General Conference, but on this they were in agreement, both ably supporting the plan for organic union. The measure was carried almost unanimously, amid great rejoicing. Favors British Union Offer. Another worthwhile accomplishment was the acceptance of the request for union made by the British Methodist Episcopal Church of Canada. This union will end the stubborn, un-Christian rivalry between the African Methodist Episcopal Church and this struggling little Methodist body which refused to enter when the previous union measures were adopted. Laymen Defeated. Time after time, in various ways there came before the conference the question of increased lay representation in both the annual and general conferences, but, as often did the body vote it down, because it is the consensus of opinion that the A. M. E. Church is not yet prepared for such a measure. But the laymen are not discouraged and declare that they will continue their efforts until they succeed. Some Wonderful Things. In the interest of economy there was adopted a measure reducing the membership of the General Conference. Time limit for ministers was increased from five to eight years. Presidents of the two missionary societies were made members of the General Conference. The Missionary Department was given authority to carry out its program for the building of churches in the foreign fields. South America was made a separate Episcopal district in the interest of the work there. The first Sunday in June was made a "Connectional Home Day", and it is required that the ministers shall "lay stress on the value of the home as a training school for children," and for the "restoration of the family altar." Other Things Done. Among other things this general conference did were these: At the last moment, after many delegates had gone laymen shrewdly rushed through a measure granting equal representation to laymen in the General Conference; the salary of bishops was increased to a total of $4,800 per annum, and that of general officers to $3,600; by vote of Ira T. Bryant 30 per cent of the Dollar Money was set aside for superannuates and conference dependants; each annual conference was required to set apart $75 annually to support a theological student; and the bishops were required to hold only one session of the Council of Bishops instead of two, thereby saving at least $5,000 annually. Charges Against Bishops Fail. Much had been said and written concerning some of the bishops and the complaints against them. One of these was Bishop W. T. Vernon, of the Fifteenth District, but there was no great sensation as predicted or expected. On the other hand, Bishop Vernon was given a great vation, one of the greatest of the session, when he took the gavel on his day to preside. Many baskets of flowers were presented and addresses were made by Dr. D. A. Harshaw, attorney B. F. Ransom, and Dr. J. W. Saunders. These speeches commended Bishop Vernon, told of the success of his work, his brotherly kindness toward the ministers, and especially did they tell of how the missionaries had been benefited by having their allowance raised from $25 annually to $50 and then to $150. These testimonials and the fact that the Episcopal Committee reported that they found nothing against the moral, religious or official character of any of the bishops made an end of these vague and malicious rumors. Carey Retains Both Jobs. After all Bishop A. J. Carey retains his position as Civil Service Commissioner of the City of Chicago and also Bishop of the Fourth District of the A. M. E. Church RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1928 despite the predictions that the General Conference would force him to resign. Not only did he retain his position, but the matter was not even discussed in the General Conference session, for there is no law against the Bishop holding office. Assignment of Bishops. Great commotion was caused by the report which made assignments of bishops for the next quadrenium. There had been great speculation; there were many previous arrangements; Bishop J. Albert Johnson was scheduled for the First Episcopal District and Bishop R维童 C. Ransom for the second; the majority straw vote left Bishop A. L. Gaines over the Fourth District and sent Bishop A. J. Carey to Mississippi; but the "wise" guessers failed. The bishops were assigned to work as follows: Bishop Joshua H. Jones, Wilberforce, Ohio, First District—Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, New England and Delaware. Bishop A. L. Gaines, Baltimore, Md., Second District—Baltimore, Virginia and North Carolina. Bishop W. H. Heard, Philadelphia, Third District—Ohio, Pittsburgh and West Virginia. Bishop A. J. Carey, Chicago, Ill., Fourth District—Indiana and Illinois. Bishop John A. Gregg, Topeka, Kansas, Fifth District—Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska. Bishop W. A. Fountain, Atlanta, Ga., Sixth District—Georgia. Bishop W. Hurst, Baltimore, Md., Seventh District—South Carolina. Bishop W. D. Johnson, Eighth District—Mississippi. Bishop Joseph S. Flipper, Atlanta, Ga., Eleventh District—Florida. Bishop R. A. Grant, Jacksonville, Fla., Ninth District—Alabama. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, Baltimore, Md., Tenth District. Bishop W. T. Vernon, Detroit, Mich., Twelfth District—Arkansas. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, New York City, Thirteenth District—Louisiana and Oklahoma. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, Philadelphia, Pa., Fourteenth District—Tennessee and Kentucky. Bishop H. B. Parks, Fifteenth District—Michigan, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and Ontario. Bishop M. H. Davis, Baltimore, Md., Sixteenth District—Liberia. Bishop G. B. Young, Seventeenth District—South Africa. Bishop S. L. Greene, Little Rock, Ark., Eighteenth District—Puget Sound, California. The new bishops all went to foreign fields except Bishop R. A. Grant, there being need for only three, bishops in these fields. The general officers elected were: John R. Hawkins, financial secretary; D. M. Baster, book concern; S. J. Johnson, church extension; E. H. Coit, secretary of missions; Ira T. Bryant, Sunday School Union; A. S. Jackson, secretary of education; Dr. R. R. Wright, editor Christian Recorder; G. W. Allen, editor Southern Christian Recorder; J. H. Wilson, editor Western Christian Recorder; S. S. Morris, Allen Endeavor League; Julian C. Caldwell, editor Sunday School literature. All had served the previous four years except J. H. Wilson, who takes the place of Dr. J. D. Barksdale, who had served eight years as editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Some of the Failures. The General Conference failed to adopt a measure providing a separate pension department for superannuates which means that these retired and disabled workers will fare little better than during the past four years. Another regrettable failure was in regard to a department of evangelism and social service which was strongly advocated by Bishop R. C. Ransom and other progressives of the connection. This scribe would close with the Bible language, "Are not the deeds of this General Conference record- ed in the books?" Yes, and on God's record book. Some of the participants would be happy to read the record; some would be ashamed to read their part of the record; but the great God is a forgiving, tender, loving, heavenly Father. "It is human to err; it is God-like to forgive." PULLMAN PORTER FOUND DEAD IN YARD Columbus, O., May 31.—Archie Hawk, aged 22, a Pullman porter, was found lying face downward and dead in the rear of his residence, 404 North Monroe Street, Thursday night. Hawk, whose death was stated to have been due to his falling down and smothering, by the coroner, had been due home several hours earlier in that evening. TEXANS HOLD LYCHING IN COURTHOUSE YARD Center Texas, May 31.—The 100 per cent Nordic American Citizenry of this "up-and-coming town" showed their respect for legal government and their subservience to the "Invisible Empire" by removing Joseph Evens from jail here and lynching him in the yard just outside of the courthouse. MATHER MINE VICTIM JOKES IN HOSPITAL Waynesburg, Pa., May 31—Lot L. Davidson, one of the four fortunate victims of the horrible mine blast disaster, jokingly tells of the harrowing experiences in connection with his narrow escape from the fate of 197 other fellow miners who were killed in the disaster. Davidson has a fractured skull and is cut and bruised from head to foot. Despite his injuries this sturdy fellow, lying side by side with three white mine victims whose bodies look as though they had been pierced with shrapnel, is in good spirits. He jokes with his fellow sufferers about getting out of the mine alive, according to hospital attaches. "How did we get out?" Davidson often asks. Then as the others smile, he answers, "Men, the angels didn't want us, I guess. I don't remember what happened, but I do have a faint recollection of somebody grabbing me around the neck and carrying me out of the place. That's about all I know. I am glad the Lord showed mercy on us. I am so sorry for the boys who made the supreme sacrifice. O, how their families will suffer." FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Dr. Charles S. Morris, Pastor The Acca Temple Shrine Chanters will give a sacred concert at Fifttin Street Baptist Church Sunday, June 3, 3:30 o'clock. These gracious singers rendered a wonderful program during the dedicatorial services of our new church home, and through the gracious assistance of Chorister Matthews we will have this rare privilege Sunday. A program of high order is being arranged, and a cordial invitation is extended the public along with all musical talent of Richmond, to welcome this celebrated group. Mr. James Womble and Mrs. Joseph Maust will feature in special musical numbers. Judge J. Hoge Ricks, of the Juvenile Court delivered a great message on the subject, "The relationship of the Church to the Child," last Sunday night. His message was instructive, inspiring and helpful. Pastor Morris preached the baccalaureate sermon of the graduate nurses of St. Philippe Church, "The Reward of Caring For the Sick—The Penalty of Noglect." Matthew 25. Special music was rendered by the choir. Baptism services followed directly after this program. Rev. W. H. Moses, one of the secretaries of the Great National Convention, worshipped with us at the Communion services at 3:30 o'clock. Two new members were fellowshipped. Dr. Moses will spend a part of the week at Fifth Street to assist in perfecting some new plans for the Church Finance Campaign. One hundred captains are now working to raise $10,000 by July. Mary A. Epps, age 26 years, charged with the murder of Bessie Allen, at 35 W. Jackson St, was tried in the Hustings Court last Monday before Judge W. Kirk Matthews, and by agreement sentenced to one year in the Virginia penitentiary. Preparations for a brilliant legal fight had been made, a court stenographer being present, and Parrish Brothers, well known attorneys, were prepared to defend the accused. Bessie Allen resides at 615 St. James St., and it is reported that the husband of one of the women figured in the case. Prof. Wm. B. Smith thanks his patrons for their continued patronage.

And we hereby pledge our moral and financial support to this fine body of men who are making a brave and noble fight for economic justice. By order of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity. The Twenty-ninth Annual Commencement of Virginia Union University will be observed June 3-6. An interesting program has been prepared for this occasion. A cordial invitation is extended to all Shepherd's S Rally in P Mrs. Ora B. Stokes Le Richmond-- In accordance with an agreement made by Deputy Mary E. Freeman, of Philadelphia, a and Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, the Richmond party left from the home of the Grand Shepherd, Saturday 2:15 P. M., with Mr. Frederick D. Clark at the wheel of that fine Chandler, recently given to the Grand shepherd by her husband, Dr. Wm. H. Stokes. The following persons were in the party: Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Mrs. Louise Lewis, Mrs. Lelia A. Wynn, Mr. R. C. Mitchell and A. C. Clark. The trip was completed in about nine hours. Upon reaching Philadelphia the Grand Shepherd and her party of ladies and Mr. Fred D. Clark were received with open arms and made welcome to the home of Mrs. Lockett at 2220 Lombard Street, Secretary A. C. Clark and Commissioner R. C. Mitchell stopped with Deputy Mary E. Freeman at 2118 Pemberton Street. Every body enjoyed a much-needed and refreshing sleep. Sunday found every one girded and ready for the biggest Shepherd's demonstration ever witnessed in Philadelphia. Long before the hour for the parade to move the hall was packed to an overflow. Promptly at the hour set, a great parade swung into action, this parade was led by the juvenile department. Philadelphia Zion Travelers came next, then followed Morning Star of Philadelphia, Robert Chester, Philadelphia Jewels, West Philadelphia Sunshine, Simon N. Philadelphia Unity, Royal Light and Main Line Star, of Ardmore. A more impressive showing could not have been hoped for from an organization the age of the Shepherds in Philadelphia. The women were gorgeously attired in white dresses, green sashes and arm bands trimmed in gold, while the men wore black with green aprons and arm bands trimmed in gold. These uniforms made an impressive and rich showing. The main outstanding feature of the parade was the large number of friends to attend the exercises. We especially call your attention to the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 by Rev. W. L. Washington, and the commencement address on Wednesday afternoon by C. S. Johnson, editor of "Opportunity". Come and rejoice with us. The Virginia Union University Octette, a musical organization, composed of eight of the most talented young men of the university, has just returned from a four-day concert tour through a few of the most prominent cities in the northern neck of Virginia. At each appearance the Octette was very warmly received and was booked for a second appearance during the next school year. The successful activities of the organization terminated in a banquet which was held Saturday night in the spacious dining hall of Slaughter's Cafeteria, at which time each of the young men was awarded a gold key by the director, Mr. A. G. Macklin. The members of the Octette are: S. E. Burford, first tenor; J. E. Walston, second tenor; T. A. Tynes, baritone; C. B. W. Gordon, bass; V. L. Hewitt, first tenor; W. P. Worsley, second tenor; W. A. Brown, baritone; A. G. Macklin, bass. Through the intervention of Editor John Mitchell, Jr., Aleck Henderson, of 404 E. Leigh Street, involved in the Moorish Temple trouble at Third and Leigh Streets, was released from the city jail by order of Judge John L. Ingram. Henderson, upon the advice of his wife, has left the Order for good. Stage a Great Philadelphia. Leads Delegation from Fine Parade. members in the line of march. The music was excellently rendered by the female band of Philadelphia. Upon reaching Bethel Baptist Church, the Shepherds filed in followed by the members of the church and friends. This beautiful spacious edifice was in a very short while filled to an overflow. The meeting was called to order by Deputy Nellie A. Lockett, who presented Daughter Gertrude Holder, of West Philadelphia Sunshine, as mistress of ceremonies. Devotionals were conducted by Rev. Grant Haynes and Deacon Caesar Williams, both of North Philadelphia Unity. Music was then rendered by the well trained Shepherds Chorus under the leadership of Shepherd William Britton, Mr. Joseph Freeman, the son of Deputy Mary E. Freeman is the accomplished pianist. The Welcome Address was delivered by a Deacon of Bethel Baptist Church, whose name I did not learn but to suffice it to say he was a speaker of no mean ability and delighted the audience with his eloquent welcome. A very appropriate and timely response to the welcome address was made by Daughter Mamie Yates of Philadelphia Jewels. This was followed by a solo by Prof. Wm. H. Britton, then followed this splendid paper prepared by Daughter F. E. Kemp, it speaks for itself: Philadelphia, Pa. May 27, 1928. The Improved Order, Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem. Grand P. S.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS. sby Dollars the Out- ne Judge. Remain Loyal. The case of J. Mosby, representative of the Moorish Temple of Science was called in the Police Court, Judge John L. Ingram presiding. A representative from the Director of Public Safety's office testified that Mosby had visited that office more than once and had been advised that he could not speak on the streets of this city without a permit from the Director of Public Safety. When he did not secure it he intimated that he would speak away. He was told to "Go to it." He did so and was arrested. Judge Ingram imposed a fine on Mosby of ten dollars, which with the costs of court made $16.50. He was paid. Judge Ingram warned him that should there be any more trouble, he would place him under bond. This ended the matter and Mosby with a few followers was late on the west side of the City Hall in the street conversing with them. The flags, charter, etc. that the police had taken from him had been returned to his custody. The case of J. Mosby and associates, who appeared in the Police Court before Judge John L. Ingram upon a charge of being disorderly in the public street and with making public speeches on the street without a permit, was called in the Police Court Wednesday, May 30th. "Prophet" Mosby, who represents the Moorish Temple of Science, with headquarters at Chicago, Ill, was in the "pen" with his wife. He wore his black fez and displayed no concern over his plight. STREET SPEAKER TO FACE TRIAL HERE J. Mosby El Sheek Charged With Attempt to Incite Heavers. J. Mosby El Sheek, Negro man recently arrested by police on the charge of preaching in the streets without a permit and voting with seditious sentiments as "To hell with the American flag" and "Down with the white race!" will get a final hearing in police court tomorrow, it was ordered today by Justice John L. Ingram. The case was called today, when the police justice dismissed a number of Negro men and women who had been arrested with the preacher on charges of disorderly conduct. When Mosby himself was arraigned, he claimed to have been given permission to preach in the street by officials of the department of public safety. Justice Ingram then sent for Chief Clerk P. S. M. Heckman, in Director Shappard's office, who testified that the Negro had asked for a permit, but was denied it. He said that as Mosby turned to go out of the office he muttered something about preaching anyhow, whereupon M. H. Finke, Director Sheppard's private secretary, replied, "If you feel that way about it, go to it." Mosby then explained to the court that all he heard Mr. Finke reply was, "Go to it," which he took for permission to do as he wished. Justice Ingram then put the case off until tomorrow, when he said Mr. Finke would be summoned to testify in the case. The Negro, who claims to be a representative of the "Holy Temple of Science," and a follower of Allah and Islam, was led back to jail to await arraignment tomorrow. Attorney W. F. Denny has returned from a visit to Evanstown, Ill., and Chicago. His madame is recuperating at the former place. He gave a vivid account of the sessions of the General Conference of the A. M. E.

"A-la-ha-me costs twenty-four votes for." Yes, it will soon be on the air again. Broadcasting companies are preparing for the national conventions at Kansas City and Houston. The doings at the national conventions will be broadcast in their entirety. It appears there is nothing that can be done, in a radio sense, with a national political convention but to put it on the air, hoof, horns and aide, and let nature take its course. National conventions have a habit of running into extra innings and there seems to be no cure for it. They bump into previously arranged schedules, knock radio programs give yestewest, and in general changes wilt in session. The best made in the radio industry have made us able to evolve any practical working plan for "editing" or summarizing the activities of these conventions. They just can't be bolled down. So radio listeners are assured that they will hear the national conventions from the Star Spangled Banner opening to the final "Hurray" Folks who "don't care for this sort of thing" will have to put up with it, that's all, in the realization that most of the rest of the days for four years more they will be able to find the type of material they want. Sports lovers are looking forward to a busy radio season. Baseball pandas are to be recognized more and more recognizing this year according to the season survey. From the account of the first ball by President Coolidge until the World's Series in October, major and minor baseball is to be quite generally broadcast. Football fans are assured that local and chain stations will carry descriptions of the major addition events of the year. The Atwater Kent summer programs will be continued through the 8574 10 inch 75 THRE warm months, and the regular winter series will be resumed about the first of October. And, from present prospects, the erudite Mr. Gene Tunney will engage in fictitious with some fortune, or unfortunate, young man twice in the next twelve months. One engagement appears to be set for about mid-summer. If and when this event occurs it will assume a radio importance second only to the report of the national elections in November. Increased use of radio programs in informal dances at home, at the seashore and in the mountains will be given its full share of consideration this year by the broadcasters. For those who prefer solid mental food, the next three or four months promise plenty of viands. Politicians are preparing to use the radio to submit to the country major issues of the national political parties, as well as local issues of minor candidates. There will be plenty of material for argument or agreement. Looks like a big year. 300 NE VULNET Published Every Saturday by John Mickelson, at 811 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. all communications intended for publication could be sent to: reach us by Wednesday.

They were not born that way. Jesus Christ is all right, but God help some of his disciples here-abouts. Some of these folks hereabouts seem to be of the opinion that while there may be just a little inconvenience before death there is absolutely no punishment after that all important event. Bishop A. J. Carey seems to be loved in that section for the enemies he has made. However he is neither iron nor stone and sooner or later his physical frame must give away to the strain to which he is being subjected. Many a person may be found in prison, after having 'been penalized for an offense committed by some one else. As both the guilty and the innocent deny the commission of the offense, the officials do not try to distinguish between those telling the truth and the others voicing falsehoods. Gov. Al Smith's managers reported $90,000 or thereabouts as the amount expended in their efforts to promote his candidacy for the presidency. This is a specific instance of where the cash register got jammed and failed to do the counting. This may be said too of practically all of the other candidates, both Democrats and Republicans. The proposed unification of the A. M. E. Church and the A. M. E. Zion Church is one of the most stupendous movements ever chronicled amongst our people in this country. It is an experiment that will be closely watched by practically every white religious body in the world. It is the supreme test of Negro solidarity and will determine whether or not the civilizing influences at work amongst us have accomplished for us the best or the worst and proven that we are on a foundation of self-reliance and self-support that is practically everlasting. We have received a copy of an address delivered at the National Probation Association held at Memphis, April 30, 1928, by Rev. T. O. Fuller, D. D., president of Howe College, and we find it to be one of the ablest presentatiens upon the subject of "The Negro Boy" that we have ever read. It deals with facts from every-day life and contains unanswerable argument in favor of handling this urchin, whose comings and shortcomings have been a puzzle to some of the best juvenile officials in this country. We received "Representative Government or a Plea in All States For Fair Elections," by Rev. T. M. C. Birmingham. The price is 50 cents, and will richly repay a perusal. The author is at Milford, Nebraska. Deplorable conditions are alleged to exist in Arkansas and specific instances are given. It is an able plea for representative government, in which the will of the majority shall be respected and shall hold sway. It is a self-evident fact that the plans and purposes of this government as originally intended and specified by founders have broken down. The logical course as a result is in the direction of revolution and blood-shed. The World War was a tragic example of this, but its teachings are being rapidly forgotten and we are rushing headlong in the direction of deserved disaster. PECULIAR CONDITIONS A few weeks ago a Democratic primary was held in this city for the nomination of a Democratic candidate for mayor and candidates for the other city offices, including the Board of Aldermen and the Common Council. There was a triangular fight. That is to say that Mayor J. Fulner Bright stood as a candidate to succeed himself. He represents the so-called religious side of the contention and is a devotee of strict economy and a supporter of the theory there must be no increased taxation. It has been a most difficult task for him to live up to all his promises, although his friends claim that he has done the best he could and has given this city the best government for the least money. Ex-Mayor George Ainslie could not see it in this light. He had made a most commendable record in the conduct of the affairs of the office, but he wanted to make Richmond one of the greatest cities in the country, so he said, and it would take money to do it. He gave no assurances that he would not ask for an increase of taxes should the occasion require it to be done. Then John Hirschberg, Esq., a member of the City Council and one of the best posted citizens on existing conditions, "Shied his castor in the ring" and asked for support. The story is soon told. Some of these colored folks hereabouts got the Democratic "political itch" and they began scratching and asked to become what they already claimed themselves to be—Negro Democrats. They wanted to vote for one or the other of these three candidates. As for the candidates themselves, they began to get uneasy. They did not know just how far they could trust these new recruits. Brother Bright's friends were willing if the bulk of these colored votes would fall into the Bright side of the ballot box. The friends of Brother Ainslie, while not saying anything out aloud seemed to be willing to take a chance anyhow, while the managers of Brother Hirschberg regarded the situation as a "toss up" and they did not care which way the matter was decided. It reminded one of the story of a man, who was asked by a cross-eyed man to hold the rope tied around the cow's neck while he knocked the cow in the head with an axe. Just as the man raised the axe to strike the cow, the man let the go the rope with the remark, "Say, mister, are you going to strike where you look? Because if you are, you'll have to get some one else to hold this cow." One eye was on the cow and the eye next to the man was looking at him. So it was in this primary matter. Each candidate wanted to know in which direction the mass of the Democratic Negroes were going to strike with those ballots that they proposed to put into that Democratic primary box. The result was soon told. The Democratic city committee ruled against these Democratic Negroes and Judge Beverly T. Crump ruled that the power to decide this question rested with the Democratic officials. But these Democratic candidates must be voted for in the regular election to be held June 12, 1928, from sun-rise to sunset and all legal voters, white folks and Negroes are permitted to vote for anybody. Mayor J. Fulmer Bright was nominated in the Democratic primary in a manner that carried with it no suspicion of fraud. His vote was a plurality and not a majority. The friends of one of the Democratic mayoralty candidates are disgruntled and threaten to vote for him regardless of the primary or anything else. Prodded by his late competitors in the race, he has announced that he is not an independent candidate for the office. This information was not necessary, for under the Virginia election law, the time of filing notice of such candidacy has expired. His friends, however, can vote for him by scratching the name of Mayor Bright and inserting the name of ex-Mayor Ainsle. This, they say they will do, regardless of what he may say, and it is reliably stated that the Negro Democrats are expected to be like that masonic cornerstone, which though it was at first rejected, it has now become the head of the corner. It is an open question, though as to whether these Negro Democrats are not proponing the same query as did the man, who held that cow for that cross-eyed THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA white men, who are about to strike the blow are going to hit the way they are looking. If so, they want them to get some one else to "hold the cow." It may be that they will convince the disgruntled recruits that no harm will come to them and that the itch, sometimes called scratches, will soon wear off. We shall see what we shall see. Selah. THE ALL-PERVADING QUESTION Hon. Benjamin J. Davis, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, and Hon. Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, testified before the United States Senate campaign fund investigating committee May 29th at Washington, D. C., and so far as we have been able to observe from published reports came out with "a clean bill," although they explained that they had some "rough sledding" in their respective States. The evident injustice of this showing is manifest, when it is known that out of the original thirteen Southern States with their overwhelming population of citizens of color, there are but two colored leaders officially recognized from this section of the country in the affairs of the Republican Party. Beneath the surface, it was evident that both Davis Howard thought a great deal more than they spoke and that there were many political grievances, which were not aired before this committee. However, there will be some outspoken "talk in the meeting" June 12, 1928, at Kansas City. It is evident that Hon. Herbert Hoover's managers are being deceived by promises of radical Democratic support, provided the leaders of the existing Republican Party, both white and colored are side-tracked and these "new day Democrats" recognized and installed in their places. The only way to meet this condition is to make an appeal to the "army" of southern Negro voters in the doubtful northern States. It will be in the nature of an "appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober." It will be in line with hte query of the Scriptures, "What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" In plain English, the query is, what will it profit the Republican nominee to gain Mississippi and Georgia with their preponderating Democratic majorities and lose New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Ohio, and other western States, where the Negroes wield the balance of power? It may be that the nominee of the Democratic convention at Houston may furnish the answer. MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING SCHOOL We have read with interest copies of the charters of the National Baptist Convention and the National Training School for Girls as published in the National Baptist Voice of May 19, 1928. We do not understand the meaning of the heading, "As passed June, 1927", for we were of the opinion that the granting of this charter antedates this date. In the charter of the National Baptist Convention, this section appears: That said auxiliary boards (including the Woman's Auxiliary Board) and their officers and directors shall have and exercise no power or control over the affairs and properties of said boards independent of this corporation and said boards shall forthwith amend their charters so as to show that each and all of said boards are under and subject to the jurisdiction and control of this corporation, (Nationals Bancorp (California, Inc.) and this corporation shall have the exclusive right and power at its annual session, or at such other time as shall be provided in the by-laws to nominate and appoint the officers, managers or directors for each and all of the said auxiliary boards. This is strong, positive language, but its weakness is found in the fact that it carries no penalty whatsoever for the failure of any auxiliary board to change its charter and to have it conform to the specifications of this section of the Constitution. Any of these boards can set its face against the National Baptist Convention and ask. What are you going to do about it? The only reply can be made, in non-recognition by the parent body. The "Nannie H. Burrough's School for Girls" is in possession of an original charter, a self-perpetuating one, which is of equal dignity and power with that held by the parent body itself. The only power possessed by the National Baptist Convention or the Woman's Auxiliary is to veto by a two-thirds vote any sale of the property at any time. Of course, the National Training School has the power to conform to the rules, regulations, or specific requirements of either the National Baptist Convention, Inc., or its auxiliary. We do not find, however by its charter that it is even auxiliary to either the National Baptist Convention or to the Woman's Auxiliary. The only way out is to come to an understanding with the officials of this school or to outlaw it, so to speak. It possesses, under its charter YOU ARE WELCOME. Old Colon 402 IN.

The Board of Trustees elect themselves and their successors. President L. K. Williams, under the charter, was directed to carry out a provision, which he cannot carry out. As a matter of fact, under the charter of the school, we do not see how it comes under the provisions of this mandate for it is not auxiliary to either the Woman's Auxiliary or to the National Baptist Convention. The charter provides for interference with only those bodies which are auxiliary to it. This, to us would seem to end the matter and it would be a wide stretch of authority for the distinguished official to proceed to enforce this provision of the charter in dealing with an independent corporation, which by word of mouth, so to speak is auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention and as a matter of law is not in any sense auxiliary to it. "And there ye aire!" United States Senator Carter Glass has notified Irvin L. Sutherland, the correspondent for Liberty Magazine, that he will not be permitted to enter his apartments or his office again. It reminds us of the story of the Irishman, who is said to have swallowed a "ripe" egg with a live chicken in it. As it went down the throat, it chirped, while the Irishman made a facial grimace and made the remark, "You spoke too late, my friend." Certainly the very able Senator has spoken too late. The better way to handle the situation is to never receive correspondents when a United States Senator is suffering with an "infected toe."

Day or Night Calls Answered Promptly. Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitinp thirty years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, travel, 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 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. Once that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. J. A. PAGE. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J.

Freeman was elected as Presiding Shepherd with 14 members, after having served as M. S. and then Vice-Presiding that to P. S., and on to the present position of Deputy of Pennsylvania, and N. J. and P. S. of our great Philadelphia Zion Travelers Fold, No. 273 with the assistance of the officers and members a loyal set among whom still remain F. S. who began with Sister Freeman in the person of Mrs. Mary V. Williams. From one Fold in Philadelphia we now rejoice in eight Folds and two Juveniles which will be increased before the coming Convention. This year has increased our membership of Shepherds nearly 300 paid more than $500.00 sick claims, have had nine deaths and still each treasury of each Fold is well conditioned with our Welfare Offers satisfactory and still leading. We have now five new Folds in progress for setting up. Our Juveniles have been blessed with having no deaths. And the Robert Chester Fold, next to the Baby Fold, which is Ardmore Main Line Star, has also secured their blanket. This Fold is under the leadership of Sister Nellie A. Lockett, our representative on the Board of Directors. And we proudly report the success of our Shepherds Choral commenced last year under the directorship of Mr. Wm. Britton, and Mr. Joseph Freeman, pianist. The work of the Philadelphia Zion Traveler Fold, No. 273 has become as easy as to necessitate the changing of the Vice-Presiding to that of Assistant Financial Secretary to the already most efficient and faithful Secretary, Mrs. Mary V. Williams. And now we would like you to try us and trust us, for we take care of our sick and need us, and come to us and know of our distress, notified of distress, and we will ever strive to act in accordance. We pay $4.50 per week sick claims and $100.00 death claims. Mary E. Freeman, P. S. Philadelphia Mamie Haynes, Treasurer, Mary V. Williams, Fin. Secretary, F. E. Kemp, Assistant Fin. Secretary Anna P. Mayers, Recording Sec'y. Daughter M. E. Walden, of West Philadelphia Sunshine, then in an amicable and pleasing manner introduced Rev. C. C. Scott, pastor of the church to preach the seventh annual This Is Your Last Chance. The Negro in the World War A detailed description may be found in another column. Here is the coupon : sermon for the Folds of Philadelphia. He delivered a wonderful discourse which completely captivated his audience. This sermon was not all eloquence, but had running through it practical religion. This was a great sermon and serve to lift our people to a higher plane of living and thinking. The Grand Presiding Shepherd was then introduced by the Mistress of Ceremonies, Daughter Gertrude Holder. She was cordially received by the members of the Order and friends. In her own fascinating way she proceeded to deliver one of the best and most timely addresses yet delivered to the Shepherds in this City. She stressed the need fortection and co-operation. She appealed to the members of the Order to travel to Order in every way possible and help make it a great blessing to mankind. She was roundly creened at the conclusion of her address and joy, satisfaction and delight were in evidence on every one's face in the audience. Director Nellie A. Lockett, then introduced, Secretary-Treasurer A. C. Clark, who in a very brief way told of the progress of the Order in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania and made an appeal for new members. The offering was lifted by Shepherd Andrew Johnson of Main Line Star, Daughter Mattie Parrish, of Royal Light, Daughter Anna P. Mayers, of Philadelphia Zion Travelers. The offering was good. A very sweet and soothing duet was rendered by Daughters Garrett and Simmons. The invitation to the pastor was made by Daughter Elizabeth Lindsay, and Robert Chesters Fold, presentation to the Trustees of the Church by Daughter Martha Simmons, of North Philadelphia Unity. Lest but not the least were remarks from Daughter Mary E. Freeman Deputy for Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She expressed her deep gratitude to her officers and members for the very loyal way they had supported her in making that day a red letter day for the Shepherds of Philadelphia. It can be truthfully said that Mary E. Freeman is a great woman and wields a magnetic influence over all with whom she comes in contact. She was the hub around which all of the activities of the great affair centered. The activities of this day under the leadership of Daughter Freeman will be chronicled as one of the greatest events in the history of the Improved Order, Shepherds and Daughters of Bothleth. It was a maniacous success. Richmond gird yourself for hard work if you expect to hold your place of Supremacy on the second Sunday in June.

Radio health lectures, begun in an unprecedented experimental way by the Health Service, have proven so beneficial and have been shown to meet so definite a need on the part of the public, according to Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming, that they have now been established as a standard service to be rendered by Uncle Sam's health authorities. Originally broadcast only through the American big station at Arlington Va., these health talks are now distributed through 64 stations, located throughout the country and reach listeners in even the most remote villages and country districts. "These health talks," Surgeon General Cumming explains, "deal in common sense prevention and advice. They are non-technical and thoroughly understandable by taymen. Although they stress the prevention of disease through sanitation and proper safeguards, they emphasize that, once ill, the services of a physician are most desirable." While the subjects covered by these lectures run from the prevention and treatment, the common cold to the conquest of highly communicable diseases, radio also provides still another aid to health through the im- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DR.
