The disgraceful affair in the United
States Senate Saturday between TIL
man and McLaurin OF South Oarolina
should be an object lesson TO the Amsri-
can people.
For seven years they have been nm
usually patient with the senior Senasur
from South Carolina, and have borne
from him in the Senate and en- differ
ent public platforms at the North and
West, exhibition of coarseness and vim
dictiveness that are unworthy of The
historic state which he misrepresenkx-
and OF the American nation. Like All
men OF his stamp, he has regarded this
torbearance and patience as an evideneo
OF either an implied acSuiesence in The
principles C0 which he boldly espousos
or his immunity from censure or crit
cism. Emboldened by this belief he
has become more and more aggressive.
utterly Indifferent, as TO conventiouxli-
ties, praise or blame, following only his
inclination and impetuosity.
1t is perfectly natural that he shoold
over step the bounds, reproached the
martysd Mckinley and treat the SEN
ate chamber as a bully would beer

Editor Richmond PLANET
I am proud to say to
you that our work in the hands of the
Negro Baptists is making commendable
progress. Never before have the color
ed Baptists of this State been so stirred
as they are now to do great work for the
denomination. From every part of the
State comes news from the pastors and
Christian workers who propose to be in
Petersburg in May prepared to help
raise the $4,000. Petersburg is arous-
ed. Indeed, it looks now as though we
are going to have excursions running
from East, West, North and South
bringing in great crowds of Bap.ists TO
see to it that the ideal of their hearts
(Virginia Seminary is freed from debt.
Since made my appeal In the columns
Of the PLANET, / am receiving assur.
ances from all sides in Richmond. re-
gardless Of denominati to the effect
that their money will be Forthcoming in
due time to help us in the struggle
We are very greatly encouraged.
Let no one tremble or fear, Virginia
Seminary is safe. We are in position to
know what we are talking about.
lt would be surprising for some peo-
pie to know how firmly this idea of Ne
gro Baptist self help has taken hold in
the State of Virginia For example:
churches, whose pastors led them ont of
the Baptist State Convention without
telling them what they were doing, are
to-day coming back TO their first love.
We will break some startling news to
the public in few weeks along this
line
Just think, the Fifth Street Baptist
Church Sunday School was the first in
the State to take literature from our
Publishing House in Nashville. Tenn.
1 sent the other day for an official
statement of the number of Sunday
Schools in this State using that htera-
ture. We received tabulated a list with
location, names of schools and persons
ordering the literature for the schools
To day there are 307 Sunday Schools
in this State taking our literatnra Is
not that progress, especially in a State
where every foot of the ground had 70

Editor of the PLANET:
Dear Sir
Permit me as stranger to intrude
upon your attention moment to pre.
sent to you as newspaper man, and as
reformer the following facts:
1. The Philippines have the soil and
climate for the cultivation of rice, cot
ton, sugar cane, hemp, tobacco and CO.
coanuts, also cocoa or chocolate.
2. We have plenty of people in the
y. ). skilled in the culture of all of
these except hemp and cocoa.
3. The climate and people are both
friendly to the American Negro. -
Why would it not be good to colonize
a few enterprising Virginians here
A year ago 1 referred some tobacco
people to you, who wished to secure the
service of some ore skilled in the mann
facture of plug tobacco.
L believe few colonists could do
well here.
Respectfully,
