DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL Negro Democrats Win A Great Victory for the Ballot Judge D. Lawrence Groner in the United States District Court, Wednesday, May 5th, held the Virginia primary law contrary to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution in an opinion handed down in the case of James O. West, Negro Democrat, against A. C. Billey, William Boltz judges, and William Ricker, clerk of the First precinct of Madison Ward. West claimed nominal damages because precinct officials refused to permit him to vote in the last Democratic primary. To this plea the State, through Leon M. Bazille, assistant attorney-general, filed a demurrier. This demurrier Judge Groner overruled today in his opinion. Going into some detail as to the constitutionality of the primary law, which has been construed as barring Negro voters, Judge Groner held that the State may not provide otherwise than for equal rights of suffrage as well in the primary as in the general election. "The demurrier will be overruled and the defendants given sixty days in which to plead further and the case will stand continued." This case, executed to have momentum on party primary legislation in Virginia and possibly other Southern States, was argued before Judge Gruner in the United States District Court here on April 11. J. R. Pollard and Alfred E. Cohen represented West the plaintiff, and the election officials of the State were represented by Joan M. Bazille, a state attorney general of M. J. Fulton and Wilhelm CF abaury. West, the plaintiff, said that he was a qualified Democrat had voted in previous general elections and in primaries held prior to the enactment of the present type of primary law in 1912. West says his only desire is to be a good citizen. The opinion is as follows: In the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District A. C. Billey, William Boltz, and William Ricker, Defendants. At Law—No. 795. Memo Overcurring the Demurrier. The declaration alleges that the plaintiff is a citizen of the United States and resides in the first precinct of Madison Ward in the city of Richmond, Virginia. That the first two above named defendants were the duly appointed judges and the last named the duly appointed clerk at a primary election held in the city of Richmond on the 3rd of April, 1928, for the purposes of nominating candidates on the Democratic ticket for mayor, councilman, and alderman. That the plaintiff, who is a Negro, was on that day a male citizen of the United States, over twenty-one years of age, in all respects qualified to vote in the ensuing general election, and that he was and had been for some time past a bona fide member of the Democratic party of the State of Virginia. To Recover Damages The action is brought to recover damages for the refusal by the defendants to permit the plaintiff to vote in the above mentioned primary solely because he was a Negro. Defendants have filed a demurrow to the declaration. This raises the question whether the action of the defendants in excluding the plaintiff from voting was an infringement of the rights guaranteed to him by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Federal Constitution. The action is brought under Section 43 of Title 8 of U. S. C. A. Virginia's Constitution Section 33 of the Constitution of Virginia provides as follows: "The General Assembly shall enact such laws as are necessary and appropriate to the purpose of equipping the regularity and purity of general local and primary elections, and preventing and punishing any corrupt practices in connection therewith; and shall have power, in addition to other penalties and punishments now or hereafter prescribed by law for such offences, to provide that persons convicted of them shall thereafter be disqualified from voting or holding office." Pursuant to this authority the General Assembly of Virginia has provided (Code 1824 Chapter 15, Section 291) a commissary plan in relation to subray elections, providing the thesis for participation by any political party which shall at the preceding presidential election have pulled at least one-fourth of the total vote cast in such election. Applies to All Nominations The provisions of this chapter apply to the nominations of all candidates for office to be nominated by a direct primary. The right is granted to the party authorities of any political party qualified to participate in such a primary, to adopt some other method for the nomination of candidates for office, but when participation in the direct primary is decided on by such party authorities, the time when the same is to be held, the conduct of same, the appointments of judges and clerks, the method of holding the election and returning the ballots, the appointmpt of commissioners to canvass the vote, the duty of the State Board of Canvassers in relation to declaring the result, the provision for securing order at the polls, the prevention of fraud in the election, are all provided for in like manner as in the general election, including provision for the payment of the expenses of holding and conduct.

COVENANTS PREVENTING PROPERTY SALE TO NEGROES ARE UPHELD Washington, June 3.—The Supreme Court today refused to review the action of the lower courts of the District of Columbia, sustaining covenants in deeds to property prohibiting its sale to Negroes. Edward G. and Susie Russell owners, conveyed property to Edgar T. Newton and other Negroes. White owners of nearby property contended the deed by which the Russells obtained the property contained a covenant prohibiting its sale to Negroes, and the courts of the district held the covenant valid. The Russells, as owners of the property and the Negroes to whom they sold contended the covenant was an unlawful restraint upon the right to transfer property and was unconstitutional. ginia Union University, Richmond Va.

Brown Anniversary Orator Sunday.--Death @claims Paid. The Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem of Richmond and Vicinity held its nineteenth anniversary exercises Sunday, June 2, 1929, at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, at which time Dr. A. W. Brown, pastor of the church, delivered a wonderful message to the large audience which filled the spacious edifice. A splendid program was rendered, with Mrs. Louise J. Lewis is mistress of ceremonies. The Shepherds choir, with the leadership of Miss Emily O. Lewis, renders several beautiful selections, and Miss Emily Lewis captivated the audience with a charmingly delivered solo. Rev. John T. Anderson conducted the devotional exercises, after which Mrs. Eloise Shelton, a member of Silver Leaf Fold, delivered a hearty welcome, which was responded to by the Grand Legal Adviser, Attorney C. A. McKenzie. Everybody felt at home and Dr. Brown covered himself with glory as he delivered the splendid address, subject "Things." The Songsters of Davids, under the leadership of Shepherd Clifton Daniels, almost brought the audience to its feet as they sang a number of spirituals. The church was beautifully decorated. Grand officers and Board members occupied seats on the platform as esseorts to the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes. The address delivered by the Grand Shepherd was considered one of the best she has ever delivered, in which she reviewed the work in the past year and reported that death claims were being paid promptly and that the work of the organization was running smoothly under her direct supervision.

Cockstock. Her experience as an educator will enable her to tell other members that the turn toward crime is taken in childhood. Unintermore, women's commonsense often enables them to take short cuts that men would not find. Secretary Mellon will not resign. He himself is authority for that statement. That is good news for the whole country, particularly good news for President Hoover, who understands business and knows what it means to have in the treasury the ablest business man in America. Mr. Mellon says, quoting Benjamin Franklin, "I am deficient, I am afraid, in the Christian virtue of resignation." At Riverside, a suburb of Chicago, citizens like cats and birds that do not like each other. A local ordinance now compels owners to put bells around their cats' necks to warn and protect birds. Cats without bells will be executed. Those that like birds and cannot do without cats will adopt the idea elsewhere. If acquired characteristics can be inherited, and undoubtedly they can, after some generations cats will steal up on the birds without ringing the bell until the final spring. The Kentucky Derby was won by a small racehorse named "Clyde Van Dusen" weighing only 835 pounds, called by reporters "an equine mouse." The equine mouse, had "Man-O-Wan" father, and from that father it got energy enabling it to kick mud into the faces of other horses, for a mule and a quarrel. Some rich men leave sons that are mental mice. Nature attends to that to prevent a race of super-men. The rich father's money holds the son back. Virginia Hogan, twelve-year-old Irish-American girl from Omaha, wins the National Spelling Bee. And, this will surprise you. Teru Hayashi, a Japanese boy, was number four in the competition. "Panacea" eliminated him. President Hoover's Commission on Prosperity, outlining our gigantic resources, added that Americans had barely scratched the surface of national wealth. As an efficiency engineer, President Hoover may suggest a way of cutting down waste. Funeral Parlor Rest Rooms Display Rooms Lodge Rooms Phones: Office Ran.2073. Residence Ran.2703. Asst.

SATURDAY.....JUNE 8 1929 THE SOUTHERN SITUATION When President Herbert Hoover's supporters inudled in the notion that the distinguished Californian's popularity in the Southland was primarily responsible for the large vote obtained in the Southern States, they were mistaken. It was not that the anti-Smith Democrats loved their party less, but they hated "Al" Smith, the Roman Catholic Governor of New York State, more. This leader still "holds the whip-handle" over the Democratic party of the nation. Until his grip is relaxed and the Tammany Hall influences disappear from the councils of the party, the revolt will continue. This is why the coming gubernatorial contest in this State is shrouded in so much doubt. Both the anti-Smith Democrats and the Henry W. Anderson Republicans are displaying astounding strategy in the interim. Bishop James J. Cannon, Jr., fired a valuable bombshell when he announced that he would not support for Governor any candidate that supported the "Al" Smith machine. The anti-Smith convention will meet June 18th at Roanoke, Va., and the indications are that the ticket nominated will be endorsed by the Republican convention which will convene on the 26th instant in this city. As for the colored voters, many of them will enter into the Democratic primary in August and will support the Democratic candidate. If circumstances justify it, a revolution will soon be on the way. With the short ballot and the many offices which will be available to the party carrying the State, it will be an open question as to which of the two contending parties will win. JUDGE GRONER IN THE LIME-LIGHT From a judicial and practical viewpoint the memorandum handed down by Judge D. Lawrence Groner in the United States District Court, overruling the demurrier of the defendants in the suit of James O. West for $5,000.00 damages against the primary election officials, who denied him the right to vote in a Democratic primary in violation of his constitutional rights and privileges, is a masterpiece. The argument adduced, the authorities cited, backed up by copious extracts from the rulings and the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, reinforced by copious citations from the Constitution of Virginia and the Supreme Court of Virginia, is a revelation to many, who had not taken the time to study the case in all of its phases. That the position taken by this distinguished jurist is practically impregnable is emphasized from every angle, the more one reads this historic instrument. The effect will be highly beneficial to all classes. White citizens, both Republicans and Democrats, have been first and foremost in telling the Negro of this country in general and in the Southland in particular, that his salvation rests in the division of his vote, that he should not be the "slave" of any one political party, and then when he essayed to take their advice, both parties proceeded to build up a wall of race prejudice, which excluded him from both parties. Right here in Richmond the Republicans called a city convention in the John H. Binford High School, where it was known that it was in a white district and occupied by white pupils, the average Negro would not go. As a matter of fact, as far as we are advised, no colored person went there to take a part in the deliberations. Judge Groner intimates and practically says that it is a question whether Negroes can be excluded on account of their race or color or any other citizens on account of that proscription or on account of their religion in party conventions. That thousands of colored people will enter the ranks of the Democratic party is a foregone conclusion. It is generally recognized that an appeal in this case will result in the further emphasizing of Judge D. Lawrence Groner's magnificent opinion. Judge Groner. ing the primary, payment of judges and clerks of election, furnishing necessary stationery and supplies, rent of polling places, furnishing and distributing ballot boxes and poll books, etc., in the same way and to the same extent as in a general election. Who May Vote Section 228 provides who may vote and includes "all persons qualified to vote at the election for which the primary is held, and not disqualified by reasons of other requirements in the law of the party to which he belongs." (Italics added). It further provides that no person shall vote except for the candidates of the party to which he belongs and which he supported in the preceding election. The declaration alleges and the demurrier admits that the plaintiff was excluded from voting in the direct primary because of a resolution adopted by the State Democratic Convention in 1924, pursuant to the authority of the Statute, declaring that only white persons should participate in a Democratic primary. Admission of Counsel Counsel for defendants admit, as of course they must, that a statute of a State which attempted to exclude Negroes from voting in a Democratic primary would be in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution (Nixon v. Herndon, 273 U. S. 539), but insist that the discrimination against the plaintiff complained of here was the act of an individual or a group of individuals getting as such, and therefore not within the purview of the Federal Constitution. History and Circumstances History and Circumstances The history and circumstances of the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution have no place in this discussion. For the present it is sufficient to point out that the Fourteenth Amendment determines that persons born in or naturalized accustomed to law are citizens of the United States are of the State where they reside. That no State shall abridge the privileges and immunities of any citizen or deny him equal protection of the laws. To the States it says that no law shall be made or enforced to diminish any one of the privileges and immunities of the people of the United States, and it directs Congress to adopt such laws as may be necessary to enforce the amendment. As construed by the Supreme Court (Civil Rights Cases, 109 U. W. 3: James v. Bowman, 190 U. W. 127), the first section of the Amendment is a prohibitory measure and its prohibitions operate against States and not against private persons. The Point at Issue The point at issue The point therefore, on which this case turns is whether the act of the election officer, the defendants—was an official act or the personal act, that is to say, was in the maintenance of a duty enjoined on them by law or was merely individual and personal and authorized by a right inherent in the political organization to which they belong. Defendants say that the latter is the correct view. That affiliation with a political party is not a matter of right but of party regulation and that the legislature as such has no authority to fix standards or qualifications of membership. Griglsby v. Harris, 27 F (2d) 942. They say in effect that there is no legal ban on the formation of a political party based wholly on color or on religious belief or on sex or any other standard which the party chooses to adopt, and that because of this, the General Assembly of Virginia in recognizing the right made no delegation of power but only recognized the existence of the power where it has always resided. The Way Out There can be no doubt, at least so far as the State of Virginia is concerned, that a political party may refuse to avail itself of the privileges of the direct primary and may nominate candidates to be voted for in a general or special election in any of the ways in which such nominations were made before the introduction of the primary. Candidates for public office may be made such by petition, by action of a caucus, or by a convention. Indeed they may be nominated in primary conducted by the party under its own rules and at its own expense. But if because of the greater safeguards which the law throws around a legalized primary, or because in such case the expense is borne by the State, a party elects to adopt this method of naming its candidates for public office, it may do so and still preserve the absolute right to determine who shall participate, is a much more delicate question. A. Modern Proposition A Modern Proposal The primary as a means of naming candidates for a place on the official ballot is comparatively modern. Its spread in the last quarter of a century has been steady and it is today in practically every State the exclusive method adopted by the two great political parties for the nomination of candidates for office, State and Federal. Its growth and adoption as a vital part of the election system arose because of the importance to the public to "give vitality to the constitutional guaranty of a free and untrammeled ballot." Judge Keith's Language This purpose may not be better stated than repeating the language of Judge Keith in Commonwealth v. Willcox, 111 Va., page 859, as follows: "We know, as a matter of common knowledge, that the purpose of holding a primary election is to select a candidate to be voted for by a party organization at the ensuing general or special election. We know that the person selected at the primary election to be voted for at the general or special election will receive the votes of the members of the party to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA which he belongs and for which the primary is held, and if both political organizations, or which a community is divided, held primary elections, it necessarily follows that the person chosen at the primary becomes the nominee of his party to be voted for at the general election, and that one of the primary nominees will ultimately be elected to the office. "In other words, the primary when adopted by a political party becomes an inseparable part of the election machinery, and if a candidate to be voted for at the general election is to be selected at a primary, it is impossible to secure the regularity and purity of the general election without in the first place guarding against irregularity and fraud at the primary election. The primary election constitutes a necessary part, and fulfils an essential function in the plan to promote honesty in the conduct of elections—elections which shall faithfully reflect and register the unbought will of the electors. 'If there be fraud in the primary election, which is the very root from which the whole system of regulation springs, it is vain to regulate the conduct of general elections, for the fraud by which the nominee at the primary election is chosen enters into and is an inerable constituent in the result. However fair the general election may be, if at that election men have no choice but to vote for candidates who have been nominated by fraudulent practices at primaries, or else to desert their party, which would be in most instances but to throw away their votes without achieving any good result, the effect of the election must be the consummation of a fraud and the defeat of the will of the people, for 'of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they granes.' "We are of opinion that section 122-0 is not only cognate and german to, congruous with and in furtherance of the object expressed in the title of chapter 10 of the Code, which fully satisfies the requirements of the Constitution, without resort to any liberality of construction, but that primary elections in their nature have such a relation to and bearing upon general elections, that the omission to bring them within the law would have left the plan devised by the legislature for securing the regularity and purity of elections wholly abortive and ineffectual." What the Supreme Court Said In Nixon v. Herndon, supra, the Supreme Court said that "the same reasons that allow a recovery for denying the plaintiff a vote at a final election allow it for denying a vote at the primary election that may determine the final result," and in construing a statute of Texas providing that "in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic Party primary held in the State of Texas, etc." declared the statute an infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment. Dodging the Issue The statute of Virginia, unlike that of Texas, does not in terms exclude the Negro, but gives to the party participating the right to do so. The result is the same. The legislature, pursuant to constitutional authority, having undertaken to regulate primary elections and to authorize them to be held at the public expense and to provide the same rules and regulations applicable to an election, may not indirectly any more than it may directly exclude a duly qualified voter who declares himself to be an adherent to the party participating in the primary from the exercise of his right of suffrage. The Fourteenth Amendment The Fourteenth Amendment compels the adoption of what is called impartial suffrage. Its purpose was to establish all over the United States one people and that each of these may understand the constitutional fact that his privileges and immunities cannot be abridged by State authority, and that these rights are not confined to any class or race but comprehend all within its scope. General Assembly of Virginia having provided the primary as a meticulous (necessary) for the nomination of candidates and the Supreme Court of Virginia having declared it when adopted an inseparable part of the election machinery, it would seem to me necessarily to follow that the legislature cannot by delegation or otherwise give vitality to a claimed right which it is itself prohibited by the Constitution from ennumbing into law. Other Citations In People ex rel, Brechton v. Election Commissioners, 221 Ill. 9, 77 N.E. 321, it was held that a primary election law which provides that the county committees of a political party shall determine whether candidates shall be nominated by a majority or a plurality vote, is invalid as a delegation of legislative power, the basis of this decision being that since the legislature had enacted a statute regulating the form of the ballot what shall appear upon it, and how the candidates whose names appear shall be chosen, it has drawn to itself the duty of determining the question whether a majority or plurality vote should be necessary to nominate and that the delegation of this right to a political party might not be legally done, and this is no more than the recognition of the well established maxim that a law must be complete in all its terms and conditions when it leaves the legislature. Cooley's Const. Lim. (7th Ed.) 163. Delegation of Power Delegation In the statute under consideration there is not only a delegation of legislative power—in itself unconstitutional—but also in its purpose and effect a recognition of a further power which the legislature itself does not possess. Admittedly the State may not provide otherwise than for equal rights of suffrage as well in the primary as in the election. This the statute does and if this were all there would be no ground of complaint, but it goes farther and recognizes and enforces the right of a political party to prescribe qualifications forbidden under the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. This a State may not do. "The legitimate purpose of such a law * * * * must be to sustain and enforce the provisions of the Constitution and the rights of voters, and not to curtail or subvert them or injuriously restrict such rights."

Immured with the importance of the question raised in this case and not, likewise of the responsibility of its decision, I have given the case a useful thought. That its effect may be to change a custom that has long obtained in the political system in effect in this State and therefore meet with the disapproval of many is a consequence which unpleasant though it may be may nevertheless not be avoided in the performance of the duty devolving on the court.

Doubt friends hidelidity, discouragement, failure, despair. I may not be able to afford a costly automobile; I may deny myself everything in the way of luxury on account of a thin poese and a pary income; but least of all can I afford to harbor doubts. The halting twin of fear is doubt. Pear and doubt will shall any navigator on the sea of life. Therefore, I shall not permit either of them aboard my vessel. But they must be watched—or they will creep in unnoticedly they take possession while we are not looking for them. And, they have a way of growing every time we trip on a snug or a boulder in our path; that, above all times, is when we must shake off the spell of doubt and indecision. If doubt ever got folks anywhere, I could be more lenient toward it; but it doesn't; it never did; therefore I will have none of it. The man who buys a farm, or a house in town—and doubts his ability ever to pay, is pretty sure to go by default in the end. Look about you, and verify the truth of what I am telling you. Then turn and look at the plodding fellow who never had a doubt in his life—who kept pegging away—and heaped a competence for happy old age! There is room and plenty for all in this world; you know that's the truth. Nobody ever got his share by doubting. Doubt is my worst enemy; if I kill him on sight, he cannot come back to haunt me. There are three stages to failure; Doubt—hesitation—lost! Two to success: Confidence—zeal! L. J. HAYDEN TO RELIEVE ALL DISEASES OR NO CHARGE 224 W. Broad St., Richmond, Va. DO YOU LOVE HEALTH?

Branch had charge of the collection, which amounted to $34.06 and was turned over to the church for its building fund. Just before the close of the exercises Coach Henry Huckles, director of athletics of Virginia Union University, presented to Fairland Juvenile Company, under the direction of Daughter Lillie E. Baskerville, the silver cup for being the best uniform company on play day, which was held at the Virginia Union University on the 11th of May. This trophy was accepted on behalf of the company by Daughter Lillie E. Baskerville, Daughter Susie J. Williams, in well chosen words, presented to the presiding Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes two beautiful baskets of flowers, coming as tokens of love from the members of this district. Daughter Violet S. Smith representing the 'teen age girls of the organization, also presented the Grand President Shepherd with a bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Stokes accepted these tokens of love with many thanks. Benediction was announced by Dr. Wm. H. Stokes. Prior to the meeting at the church a wonderful parade several blocks long took place, under the direction of Majors Thomas Lecoss, George L. Branch and Colonels W. H. Milton and Chas. McClairborne, led by the Shepherds Band in their beautiful uniforms under the direction of Band Master Gallilo Bailey. The Reindeer Band, under the leadership of Director J. R. Hobson, formed a part of the parade and rendered a valuable service to the Shepherds Band. The women in their striking costume elicited favorable comment from the throngs that crowded the streets and showed their approval by their loud applause by the long string of marchers under the direction of Captain Mary E. Christie, moved with precision through the streets. During the collection at the church the band rendered several selections. At the close of the exercises the parade, headed by a police escort runnised by the city of Richmond, moved back to headquarters, corner of Sixth and Leigh Streets, where they disbanded. Everybody was happy and many compliments have been given to the officers of the organization. On the fourth Sunday in May the Grand Presiding Shepherd, accompanied by Assistant Secretary Kulah N. Cunningham, Director Susie J. Williams and Daughter Martha Morris, motored to Philadelphia, Pa., to join in the anniversary exercises of the Folds of Philadelphia and vicinity under the leadership of Deputy Mary E. Freeman, Director Nellie A. Lockett, assisted by Miss F. E. Kemp. A colorful parade several blocks long passed through prominent streets of Philadelphia to the John Westley A. M. E. Zion Church, where Rev. Spath preached the annual sermon. The members were very enthusiastic. The death claim of Shepherd E. B. Warrington was paid. The fourth Sunday in May, Rev. A. D. Daly went to Saluda to represent the Grand Fold in the anniversary services of the Folds of Saluda and vicinity, at which time he paid the death claim or daughter Mary E. Holmes. Attorney James T. Carrer, a member of W. H. Stokes Fold and a loyal挚友, was caller to the office this week. Grand Degree Mistress Mrs. Danish Jones caused to the office a few days ago and made a spiendid report on her work. Daughters Lottie T. Young, Maria H.

The opinion, handed down by Associate Justice Vandevant, held that the silence of white Shriners for many years barred them from restraining the Negroes. The suit was begun in 1918 in a Texas court by the Negroes against the local temple of the Negro order. Texas Supreme Court Reversed The Texas Supreme Court granted an injunction. In reversing the judgment Justice Vandevant said: "There is no evidence of a fraudulent intent on the part of the Negro order or of a purpose on its part to induce any one, whether Mason or non-Mason, to believe that it was the white order or that they were parts of the same fraternity. On the contrary, it is shown that the Negro Order always held itself out as entirely distinct from the white order, and as open only to members of the negro Masonic fraternity. True, there was much imitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretenses." Had Knowledge Pointing out that "it is established that from the beginning the white order had knowledge of the existence and imitative acts and practices of the Negro order," the opinion says, the "evidence indubitably shows that with such knowledge the white order silently stood by for many years while the negro order was continuing its imitative acts and practices, and was establishing new lodges, enlarging its membership, ac- A HEARTY WELCOME AWAITS YOU Mt Carmel Bapt.

"It also is shown by the uncontricted testimony of several wittnesses—one a life member of the white order—that a large proportion of the copied paraphernalia, regalia, emblems and insignia used by the Negro order, its lodges and members, was purchased from or through members of the white order, and that in one instance a lodge of that order contained quarters, sold the paraphernalia and regalia used in the old quarters to a lodge of the Negro order in the same city."

"But these objections came too late," he said, "to overcome or weaken the force of the conduct of the white order during the thirty years preceding the earlier of the two suits. After that period of inaction and seeming acquiescence, it was too late to resuscitate the original exclusive right for which the white order is now contending. "What we have said of the evidence demonstrates, as we think, not only that there was obvious and long continued laches on the part of the white order, but also that the circumstances were such that its laches barred it from asserting an exclusive right, or seeking equitable relief, as against the Negro order." Sunday School Lesson Everything that is repeated may not be so, but it is wise to give heed to the second call, especially if it is the policeman's whistle. A person can make irrevocable mistakes by going headlong heedless. For years the prophets had sought to hold Jewry back from their sins against Jehovah. There had been Hosea, Amos, Joel, Jonah, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakukku and Zephaniah. We must name those who pleaded with Israel as well as those who sought to help Israel. Then there was the great object of the Captivity of Israel, the ten northern tribes, in 722 B.C., when so many were taken to the region of Nineveh. Read not only all of II Kings 25 but the related passages in Ezekiel and II Chronicles. Jerusalem was besieged for eighteen months. Even the day is indicated when that final prolonged attack began and also when it ended. During the seventy years in Captivity in Babylon the Jews observed both of these memorial days. The siege is still observed in the Fast of Tebet, a day of remembering by the Jews. The next observance will be January 10, 1930. Portions of Lamentations are read aloud at the time, for Jeremiah therein makes very graphic the awful miseries that prevailed within the Holy City. Both bread and water finally failed. Meanwhile counter walls were built by Nebuchadnezzar's men, that missils might be the better hurled into the besieged wall. Battering rams broke through the massive walls. Zedekiah was the king. He had been placed in that position by Nebuchadnezzar, following a previous attack, with the understanding that he would be loyal to the Chaldeans. Instead Zedekiah sought help from Egypt, in spite of Jeremiah's pleading to the contrary. As the enemy came in, the king instead of staying to help his people sought safety with some of his strong men in flight by a southern gate. They were captured in the Jordan valley and taken before Nebuchadnezzar at Ribah, where he was directing the attack against another nation. Observe carefully how prophecies, apparently contradictory, were fulfilled. Compare Jeremiah 32:4-5 and Ezekiel 12:13. How could he be taken to Babylon and not see the city or the king there? Zedekiah was forced to witness the slaughter of his sons at Ribah, and then was blinded at the king's order. He was then taken as a captive to Babylon, but beheld neither king nor city. Jeremiah was evidently in favor with Nebuchadnezzar, who gave him his choice of going to Babylon or staying in Jerusalem with "the poor of the land," who were left there to produce a revenue. This continuing patrol elected to remain where he thought he was most needed. Later when Gedaliah the governor was traitorously killed the conservators forced him to flee to Egypt with others and tradition indicting him was killed there.

Much of history THE TEST OF A GOOD SUNDAY SCHOOL. Sunday Schools are judged by many standards. Commonly people form their opinion of a school from the building in which it is held, from its size, the order of its sessions, its organization, its popularity in the community or by a combination of some of these or similar standards. There is only one supreme test of a goal Sunday School and that is the personal test. The goal of our work is spiritual. The method is the evangelism of teaching. The measure of our success is in terms of Christian character. Any Sunday School is fulfilling its real purpose to the extent that it is succeeding in leading its members to live lives of obedience and loyalty to the will of the Heavenly Father and of loving self-denying service to men. If it is doing this, it is a good school. If it is not repressing in this no matter how big it may be how strong an organization it may possess, or how complete an equipment it may have, it is a failure.

WHITE LADIES TESTIFY The case of Rose Leigh Anderson, 1209 North First Street, attracted much attention. She was charged with stealing a dress, valued at $10, from the Kaufmann Co. No representative of the company appeared and the case went over; but two white ladies, for whom Rose had worked, testified as to her good character. One of them stated that she had known her ever since she was born. The one with whom she stays now said that she was absolutely honest, had no need to steal, as she was saving and had money when arrested. A white gentleman who accompanied the ladies was equally as positive. They told Judge Haddon that they would return to appear in her behalf at any time. Their testimony created a profound impression.

STX Years after adventurous white men penetrated inland in America, the Indians gave the name "Toronto" to the place where trails and water routes converged at a bay on Lake Ontario's northern shore. Toronto means "place of meeting" in the Indian language and thanks to the amazing progress of modern transportation it has created. The cities were brought for exchange to one of the largest cities in Canada and a great railway center. Until two years ago the tallest buildings in Toronto were those at the corner of King and Yonge Streets shown on the right of the above photograph of Toronto skyline. Now Toronto has its fine Union Station where trains from the United States and Canada arrive and depart and its new Royal York Hotel, the great build- ing in the center.

Milac Beauty S By Helena Ru Berry tress must be confess, But neatly tangled at the best; Like a clew of golden thread most excellently Not bad but they will remain away from the subject of the hair and its most becoming arrangement. For in the summer—the hatchard season—the coiffure forms a most important part of the picture. The extensive arrangements for summer is, of course, the funniest node which is so delightful for the very young, charming for the not so young, and gracious indeed to the matron who is not young at all. For the very young it can be achieved by soft waves, distractingly impudent tight curls, and even soft feminine bangs on the forehead ar- ranged—if you please—with the skill and art of a master! For the matron chignon and transformation are very much the vogue. One coiffure that is extremely ad- tractive for the slender, youthful type is the chignon wig, which is parted in the center, worn with wigs very slightly curving on the foundation, having a soft side wave terminating in blunt ends which are brought forward on the cheek. Pointed ends are slowly going out. General usage has killed them for the smart woman. A second arrangement which is particularly good for wear with evening clothes is very much the same, ex- cept that the bangs are not in evidence, and a medium-sized chignon appears at the back. A third termine hair dress recall S ly's ecrets binstem Helena Rubenstein the famous statue of Pallas Affenzi Tiny tight round curls completely cover the back of the head. The sides are curled over- not under, which is denode- and are arranged with exact precision. In the coiffure the pointed back appears. Incidentally, it is an effect especially adapted to the smart woman with a rather long and slender neck. Some Parisian masters choose to interpret the style with the loose clustered masses of ringlets which you may perhaps have seen in pictures of the Empress Josephine. The fashion is distinctly Empire—and very feminine—but your hair must be shouldered length to achieve it. An interesting although somewhat radical hair arrangement is already much seen in Paris and is beginning to take hold in New York and other cosmopolitan centers. It resembles nothing so much as a cock's comb of massed curls down the center of the head from front to back. I can hardly recommend this as a style for general use, but perhaps as an occasional evening collar it may be more effective. Nulina Rubinskaya Do WOMEN Admire YOU USE PYRAMID HAIR BEAUTIFIERS.

Heart Heart Talk By Dr. John Joseph Daines INVISIBLE REALITIES Once a very great editor assured a little girl about the reality of Santa Claus. He said in so many words that the most real things in this world are the things that children and men do not see. It would be very difficult to find a sentence that holds more of sublime truth. We cannot see an electric current of 20,000 volts; yet it is there in all of its terrible reality. No one has ever seen carbon monoxide gas. Who does not know of it and fear it? The deadly spirit in alcohol is invisible. The clear liquid looks as innocent as distilled water; one cannot tell them apart, so far as looks are concerned. The smell, taste, and effects on the human constitution go to make the spirit most realistic. Human beings have learned of these stern, invisible realities, and how to evade their harmful effects, and also how to apply them to useful purposes. Almost every modern home uses illuminating gas, which nobody has ever seen. One of the most deadly elements known, if it gets the upper hand. Education prevents our enemies from getting the upper hand, and makes valued friends of them. It is only the ignorant and neglectful that suffer consequences. With proper training man can have dominion over all things; without it he is easily victimized. The fully trained, intelligent man, guards every portal against the invasion of the invisible foe, which is the kind that kills; the enemy that cannot be seen is very real, and is many times more dangerous than one we can see. The invisible enemy attacks from behind, as it were. The trained man sees all around him. God pity the man or woman, boy or girl that gropes in Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart Have you ever thought of the var- led uses to which you might put your odd pieces of sterling silver, aside from their customary service? Salt cellars of the open type make charming clip or stamp holders for the desk. A sandwich tray—that is, a round one—can be used as an ice cream dish, a dessert dish, for salads or for fruit. And this is likewise true of the berry bowl which is used these days for vegetables, salads, ice creams and many other foods. Coasters of the old English design with bending across the top can be put to excellent use as ash trays. That is, of course, when not holding their pepper decanters. These are just a few of the many ways in which to get double service from sterling which, to yield fullest returns on its investment, should be used every day of its It is said for the average man doing fairly muscular work the day's food supply should contain: 14 lbs. bread or its equivalent in cresus; 2 oz. butter or other fat; 2 oz. green vegetables; 12 oz. of food from the meat or meat-substitute class, such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk and dried beans, peas, lentils, etc. Escalloped Egg Plant A well-known chef's recipe uses 1 egg plant peeled and cut in small pieces and cooked in boiling water for 15 minutes; drain, add ¼ cup chopped saffron, a little grated onion, ½ cup chopped green pepper and ¼ cup white sauce. Put in buttered baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs and bake in moderate oven for 35 minutes. Small White Cake Whites of 3 eggs, ½½ cup flour, 1 cup sugar, ¼ cup milk (scant), ¼ cup butter, 1 rounding spoon baking powder. Mix as for the usual white cake. Cleans Window Shades White window shades may be cleaned with magnesia. Spread a sheet on floor, unroll shade and with a soft cloth scrub the shade with magnesia and water. After treating one side, turn and clean the other side in the same way. Wipe the iron with a cloth wet with acetone to prevent scorch. To remove scorch, place articles in sun or rub chlorine water into the spot with a linen rag. Home-Made Furniture Polish One of the best polishes known can be made by combining 3 parts olive oil or sweet oil with 1 part vinegar. 3 parts lineded oil and 1 part turpentine also makes a good polish. JINGLE BEAT BY FRANK R. ADAMS ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK B. DRUEN ```markdown ``` Ninth Installment The Sheridan Dramatic Club, of which Tom Billibek, the narrator, Maryella, the girl he careds for, and Jim Cooper, the girl, are members of the Alcott学院 at the Old Soldiers Home, but are interrupted by a fire. During the rehearsal Tom Billibek caused by the husband of one of the actors, Hemingway, of being in love with his wife. Riding away from the scene of the ill-timed play in the theater overcrowds, of players is held up by two escaped convict, one of whom is captured by Billibek after a struggle. The captain of the Soldier's Home. Unable to leave the home as the car refuses to budge, the players must stay there, and Mr. Way, hearing the call from the home-as he is auspicious of his wife and Billibek. Meanwhile the Sheriff arrives when Billibek is asking Mrs. Hemingway, who has fainted, and of course thinks the worst. Meanwhile a disturbance is heard down the earl, and all in the house rush down. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "Well, I'miggered!" exclaimed the sheriff. "There's a lot of life in that old horse yet. I didn't suppose he could do that." "Is he frightened?" Mrs. Lillie-dow asked. "No. He's just lonesome. He ain't used to being alone at night, and I suppose he was going to look for me." --- The inference was that either the sheriff slept in the stable with the horse or the Norse slept in the house with the sheriff. At any rate I had an explanation of the ghostly sounds which had wakened from my doze. I instructed on the duty expedition down-stairs which had culminated in the sensational mix-up with the Hemmingways. While the sheriff and some of the others recaptured the horse and tied him to a ring in the stone wall, I went back to the main floor. I wanted to be alone and think. As I came up from the basement to the living-room, which was now beginning to get light with the first child dawn of winter morning. I noticed Cold and Ms. Hemmingway in eager conversation. Apparently they were approaching some sort of negotiation for peace because they were standing quite close together and once or twice he made as if to take her in his arms. Far be it from me to interrupt any reconciliation between the Hemmingways. There and there only lay my hope of retaining my job and incidentally the respect of the community. I was carefully tiptoeing across the living-room to the door which led to the stairway, perfectly willing to have my progress unnoted, when I was arrested, nay frozen in my tracks, by the piercing voice of Phil Hewnether cautiously subdued to a longshoreman's hat. "Hey, Mr. Bilbeck" he called. "I was here. There's a feller here trying to steal your girl away from you—the pretty blood one that was making eyes at you last night." Mr. and Mrs. Hemmingway, who had reached the sobbing-on-shoulder stage of their reconciliation, now separated suddenly as if a shell had exploded between them. "Sol" the husband shouted, his anger at white heat once more. "My suspicions were true after all! You made such a fool of yourself that everybody noticed it. And to think that you would try to lure me back by soft words! You vampire!" He struck his forehead a sharp blow with the palm of his hand. "My Heaven! To think I am carried to you!" Mrs. Hemmingway's eyes, usually placid, blazed in response to his anger. "You needn't be any longer than it takes to get a divorce," she exclaimed, half-hysterical with anger. "If you're going to believe everything you hear we might as well separate and get it over with." Comrade Henwether and I were observing the scen, he with appraising looks seeking to read in their faces what he missed in their speeches, and I with a chill horror in the curiosity of the people after that the people go post after all, youvoufaredPilk." He is a mite better looking than you be, but you've got a way with you that goes with the ladies, darned if you can't." Mrs. Hammingway strooged her shoulders helplessly and started from the room. Mr. Hammingway followed to the door, which she skimmed in his face. I quickly gave up my intentions of going up-stairs, which involved passing through the living-room, and went back to the basement instead, convinced that safety lay in sticking to the crowd. We went back to bed later for a morning nap. When they woke me up next time—this was for breakfast—I refused to arise until I was provided with some clothes. It was all very well to prowl around intl. white nights at night when I was hunting ghosts, but it would look rather silly to appear in them in broad daylight going from the ordinary house of life. "Are you really in love with Mrs. Hemmingway? . . . Are your intentious honorable?" ```markdown ``` as eating soft boiled eggs or bringing in an armful of wood. Unfortunately I am a larger man than most of the veterans. I tried on several pair of trousers without finding any that I would dare trust. We had just about given it up as a bad job when some one suggested that Comrade Dreyenfurth was very nice. His other pants were commanded. I have mentioned I believe, that Abel Dreyenfurth's west leg "Are you really in love with M intentions honorable?" has been wilfully missing since Antietam. For that reason the Dreyenfurth trousers last twice as long as most men's. He uses the material in the extra leg to reforce the seat. For that reason they did not give me all the protection I could have wished. They were like the first installment of a magazine serial—good as far as they went, but tantalizing. Still they were better than nothing, so I got up. The sun was bright and dazzling. I went to the window to look out. What a beautiful world it was! Tons of snow had been carelessly tossed over the map with the lavish hand of an inconceivable giant. In some places were graceful drifts as high as a man, and against a shed. In the yard it was piled up over with the roof. It had been a tremendous storm inside we had not realised the amount of snow that had fallen. City people never know what a snowstorm is like. It falls on streets that are shoveled clear almost as fast as it comes down, and the little patches that remain are almost immediately soiled with tracks and the soot of countless chimneys. But out in the open it is different. There's you can get an idea of the way the Lead impeded the world to look in the winter time. Strangely enough the lake, which lay peacefully crystallised at the foot of the hill where the Home stood, was comparatively free from snow. The wind had swept its glistening surface clear, and it lay a clear black blot on a white universe. Here and there fishing shanties dotted the lake, and near the shore some boys were rigging an ice-boat. One of them was up on the mast threading a halyard through a pulley block. I remember when I had done that sort of thing on my first ice-boat. I sighed. I could never do it again—not with my weight! again—not with my weight! Breakfast was announced. I went down, fully but not ornamentally clothed. The only one of our party who spoke to me was Jim Cooper. Mrs. Lillielove looked as if she were going to, but suddenly she blushed and lowered her eyes to her plate without saying anything. "Good morning," Jim assured me cheerfully. "Isn't this a fine day?" He rubbed his hands gleefully, as if he had done it himself and expected to be complimented for his skill. "Yes," I mumbled, hurt and puzzled to and myself an outset in my own circle. Later I discovered that Comrade Hewether had been doing a travelogue on my newness as a lady, lady, lady, and been interrupted by my servant. Hewether's wagings were red from wetness. Peeped woman, she had not had any sleep at all. I judged. Her husband was moody staring at his plate, but she very little. Maryela and Mrs. Lillie Lowe converse with painful intimacy about crochet attire and new fashion. After breakfast John Gott got me outside. "Are you really in love with Mrs. Hemmingway?" he complained, fixing my eye with a look that demanded an answer simply. "Are your intimate companions." "I swear I'm not in love with hair!" I replied with bitter empathy. "And I haven't any intimations." "You are in the best way," Mrs. and I may agree. 1. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page "Not on your life. I haven't any skin on my shins now just been I mixed in trying to help Miss Hemmingway. You do the recounting. You fix it up and get all the credit." "I will," he declared confidently, "i can do it. And all I ask is a little thanks." "That's a way with Jim. He's one of the best little fixers I know. He is always eager to make some a hanow. What happens we Mrs. Hemmingway? . . . Are your likes to feel that he is the man who mended the mainspring. And he likes to be thanked, too. Half a dozen thanks, and Jim will go without his breakfast any day. It's a vice with him. He has to be thanked for something about every so often, or he gets terribly depressed and thinks that he is not much use to the world. In an Anglo-Saxon community a confirmed thankanionia is continually getting hurt. Since I have learned of his habit I always thank him every time I see him, even if I can't think of anything he has done. It saves lots of trouble. So Jim asked to ap in between the Hemmingway. With elaborate formality he invited them into a small room off from the living-room which served as an office for Cindy Stewart. They followed him wonderingly, and he closed the door. Jim was beats again even sooner than I expected. What chance had a lad of his slender build against an exasperated man as large as Hemmingway? He picked himself up from the rug where he had landed and removed the cane chair seat which was around his neck. "I suppose it's all for the best," he observed. "What?" I asked without a smile. "Well, I had to agree that you marry Mrs. Hemingway, he explained painstakingly. "I tailed to make him see differently, but he insisted. You ought to be glad, Tom. She's a very sweet woman and will make a fine wife." "You agreed that I would marry her?" I demanded. "What in the name of Mike have you got to say about it?" "Well," he explained, "I let him think that you had sent me to patch it up. Maybe I did wrong, but I thought it was all for the best." "Oh, I see." What difference did it make, after all? One tangle more did not make it much worse. "People don't seem to appreciate it when a man goes out of his way to do them a favor," he observed with marrylike resignation. "Pardon me," I said mechanically. "Didn't I thank you? I certainly am much obliged for your good intentions." "It was nothing at all, Tom. I'd do it again for you any day. Whenever you get in a tight hole send for me, I'm always willing to help. A little thanks is all the pay I want." Immensely cheered, he left me. It was all for the best. I had located a paper weight to throw at him if he offered to do anything more for me. I picked up an old magazine and tried to read. The story I started proved to be a serial. I asked Comradia Dryeenfurth who happened through, it had a copy of the number containing the next installment. "No," he replied with aggravated bitterness. "We get all our magazines from people who send 'em to us after they get through reading 'em. And nobody ever sent us a complete set yet. I gave up trying to send the scratches five years ago." "I can tell you what happens in the November number," offered Mrs. Lilielowe, who had seated herself near and had overheard the conversation. "I read nearly all the magazines that come out. It's terribly exciting when you get six or seven hardies in tight places all at once."

Fitzmaurice, Co-Pilot of the plane and Mayor James H. Walker of New York City. The plane is suspended from the roof of Grand Central Terminal over the New York Central's first train, the DeWitt Clinton. It was presented to the City of New York by the late Baron Guenther Von Huenefeld, financial backer of the flight and passenger on it. The plane weighs more than a ton and its wing spread is 58 feet 6 inches. The plane is 34 feet 6 inches long and 9 feet 6 inches high and has a single motor. It flew from Dublin, Ireland to Greeney Island, N. F., two thousand miles, April 12-13, 1928. Landing on soft ice in the fog it was damaged and later was shipped to Germany for repairs. Colorful ceremonies marked its unveiling. Its final home will be in the Museums of the Peaceful Arts, New York City. Baron Guenther Von Huenefeld bought out the shares of the other owners so he could make possible this gift to New York, who welcomed him so graciously upon his memorable flight to the United States. The Baron died in Germany February last and was internationally mourned. (Herbert Photos, New York.) --- SEND US YOUR ORDER FOR Wedding and Visiting Cards The Planet, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va. One should never need to say "Exercise!" to women in the outdoor winter days with little athletic activity except for those fortunate who are able to "go in" for winter sports, most women are weary and bored with inactivity, and with the enervating, sanguant air of many overhated houses. They long to be out of doors once more, breathing in the fresh, fragrant air and moving with free joyousness to rid their bodies of the torpidity and laxness which they seem to have acquired during the winter. Still, some women need to be reminded the women whose spring duties, house-cleaning and clothes problems, etc., take up so much interest and time. To those women, then, I say "Exercise!" Forget your home cares or, if you are a business person, your office, for a part of each day, or a day of each week. Get out into the country and walk, with your friends, with your husband or children. Walk and breathe deeply and enjoy the outdoor freshness all about you! If you are a golfer, play golf. If your game is tennis, play tennis. Begin it early and get ahead of the others who are wailing for mid-summer to coure. The courts are being prepared now and the time is ripe to begin. But if you are one who does not care for tennis or golf, and who does not wish to be out of doors—do go and work in your garden! Health and beauty await you early and late in the garden, before the flowers have even begun to think of blooming and up until the time they taste the first frost of fall. The work you can do there—if you do not do overdo it—will be well invested, since it brings double returns of beauty. For the women who have no gardens there are still other exercises. Indoor setting-up exercises are always good, but at this time they should be taken out of doors. Fresh air is quite as important as the exercise which accompanies it. And if you do not care for plains unadorned gymnastics, you can "skip rope." This is the finest of all exercises for improving the lines of the body and for building general beauty. An indefeable charm radiates from the healthy, active body—wrinkled with the joy of "just living" which follows as a result of consistent exercise.

Hints Home A summer scheme for the Guest Room? Something cool, dainty and not extravagant? Then choose simple draperies and spreads, making color and pattern do the work of costly fabrics and accessories. It is not necessary to have both over and under curtains in summer. Sheer ruffled tie-backs of tinted voile, organide or tarlatan let in every stray breeze and are very decorative. A wall background of interesting design will give all the pattern needed. Charming new wall papers are available in modern effects that blend equally well with antique or modern furnishings. See that both paper and curtains are in harmony with the rug, and paint woodwork to blend with the wall. For sensitive summer spreads, use sunfast mercerized broadcloth, taffeta, volle over satten—or dip your plain candlewick in a color harmonizing with the general scheme. These few rules will give you a fresh and charming guest room at a very inexpensive cost.
