Congress OF Mothers and the woman's

State supported the measure from the
fstart and the result was not only sue
public sentiment for the best type of
Kindergarten training.
The amendment to the Washington

MIR. III. S. JOHNSON ANENT THE
SUPREME COURT DECISION

Buckner, Va, November IL, 1917
Editor Richmond Planet,
Dear Sir: / am sure the recent
decision of tho Supreme Court of the
United States in the segregation case
OF Louisville, has caused great re-
joicing among Negroes throughout
this country. For my part, I think
1t one Of the greatest legal victories
the Negroes have won within the
last fifty years, III that 1t opens the
door of hope and gives lis to know
that Justice will not always sleep.
On the other hand, Mr.. Editor, l
think the Negro should heed the more
timely advice given in your editorial
OF last week and not attempt to abuse
this right but to show to the white
people that it is not that We desire
to force ourselves upon them, but
that 1t is a fundamental privilege for
which we have commended.
am sure that every liberty-loving
Negro would like to have shared with
, you and the many others who have
been instrumental in winning the
above mentioned victory and too
much praise cannot be given you and
others including the young and bril-
liant editor OF the Louisville News,
who by your untiring efforts and pa
tient but persistent agitation have
stood to your guns until you have
brought down the game.
But there Is way and an oppor-
tunity for all to help. First, by our
prayers that the Lord may continue
to guide those who have the admin
istration OF Justice in their hands.
Secondly, we see that the recent de-
ntni ~.
fact that the segregation law was In
violation Of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution.
Now, it is quite likely that some
Southern representative IN his zeal
and determination to accomplish the
object of his constituents, will want
to remove the Fourteenth, Amend
ment and thus be able to do what he
is not able to do while said amend
mont obtains. So If we grant that
such n thing is probable and possible
then our work has just begun.
Let the Negroes prepare and arm
themselves with the ballot and thus
keep men in Congress who are ia
vorable to our cause or to Justice to
all men. This can be done, so let
us not sit down and spend too much
time rejoicing over what ahas been
accomplished, for If we allow the
Fourteenth Amendment to be
changed or removed our last state
will be worse than tho first
We are right now waging cam
paign to the end that Negroes every
whore will take upon themselves the
great responsibility of real citizen
ship. Again, I think we owe it to
our boys who have gone to the trench
es to fight for q worlds democracy.
We owe it to them to see to ie that
/, this democracy includes colored men.
Very respectfully,
r. S. JOHNSON.

desirable that the legislature will OK

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20.--The
National Colored Soldiers Comfort
Committee, which has established
national headquarters in this city at
1105 You street, has adopted q strong
feature for assisting in raising $4,000
900 for r,he dependents of ColoreG Sol
diers called to the colors. Movie pic
lures wiz be extensively used and
an especially written scenario, depic
ting the valOr and progress Of the
race, and providing for an all Colorcd
cast Of characters, will be written for
each OF the large cities. A contest Is
now on in Washington and Baltimore
to secure local CoAored talen for
feature parts in the scenarios to be
written for those two cities. This
plan adopted by the committee will
kill two birds with one s'one; that
Is will aid in raising the fund, and
aid in developing q better sentiment
for the race on the part Of whites, by
seeing in film the best side of the
race. Already three white movie pic
turc theatres in 'arge middlewdst
city has asked for tho films when
ready.
This plan offers splendid Oppor-
tunity for clever young Colored men
and women to appear in Tho movies
as these films will be shown through
out the country. Contract has already
been made with n big company to ar
range for the scenarios and lake the
pictures. 1t is under consideration
70 offer a prize to the Coorsd writer
OF the best adapted and accepted

the merchants OF tho city will show
some consideration to the visiting sol

lions, will attempt to make purchases
in places where colored people are
not served. If they are refused in the
proper way, no bad results will follow
but, If harsh and unnecessary langu-
age Is used like some have done in
