with twentieth century methods. He
has also sent the word down the line
that spiritual drive will be put on
and that religious fervor shall pre-
dominate in every session. The Bible
conference will be one of the main
features and is to be conducted by
well trained workers.
With the coming of five thou
sand Negro Baptists to the Old
Dominion State September 10-15th,
there will lbe repeating of history,
or in other words, the offsprings of
the Negroes who were landed within
a few miles of this place in 1919 and
1920, whichever the historians agree
upon, at a point called jamestown,
which was celebrated by national
exposition some time ago, will have
resetting when the great national
Baptist convention with it's three
million constituents re-assemble here
in September. There will be from
every state in the Union represen-
tative and from every particular
city and community in that state
there are to come messengers with a
message of denominational growth
and activity. Virtually upon this
spot made memorable by the landing
of the forefathers of one of the
greatest people of the world, making
the occas sion coincide with the Ply
mouth Rock incident, a one million
dollar effort is to be put on and
the Old Dominion State with her
| representatives, it is understood, will
take front rank. No attempt will
be made to gather data or history,
as President Jones of the national
Baptist convention, says this is not
hardly necessary. While past his
tory is not to be forgotten, they are
living for the present and preparing
for the future, so he says. The city
of Norfolk and its suburbs, with its
thousands of inhabitants and its
well-apopinted homes, has indicated
its anxiety by the restlessness dis
played in the slow passing of time
and the short space between now and
the coming of the great body OF Bap-
| fists.

thy or fellow feeling with the Grim
inal, whether he be white or black,
or whether he be the individual who
attempts to outrage womanhood or
the member of the mob who unlaw-
fully arrogates to itself the right to
administer punishment and take life.
We constitute one-tenth of the pop
ulation of this country and yet we
have no voice in making the laws,
by which we are governed. We are
taxed, we are controlled, we are held
strictly amenable to every require
ment made by the law enacted by
the white man and for the white
man. His usages and customs ac-
cording to his idea of justice and
right must be observed and respect
ed by us, whether they meet our idea
of justice and right or not. His law
provides that in the courts every man
shall have trial by a jury of his
peers. He always sits as juror,
| too, in the trial of all of our cases,
and yet he would under no circum-
stances admit that we are his peers.
There is no wonder that mob vio-
lence prevails in land where one
group of citizens by law, practice or
custom may, at will, withhold any
right or privilege from another. The

If my neighbor's child is taught that
he can wrong me, or outrage me,
or Jim Crow me, or lynch me in a
small way by depriving me of any
right which he himself enjoys, it will
be only a short step for him when
he reaches manhood to join a mob
and take my life. Mob law is a Gre
alton of the white man. When he
sees fit, it's disgrace will be wiped
out from the map of our country.
ut is to be regretted that the
President arrogates himself the right
to condemn mob violence and lynch
ing when a white man is attacked OF
all the cruel lynchings of colored
men that have taken place during his
administration not one has ELECTED
from him a single word of censure.
1t is high time that Mr. Wilson show
himself to be President of all the

Some of the questions that Presi-
dent Napier asked were: How many
of you have noticed business condi-
tions in st. LOUISE" Have you no
ticed bank clearings? The markets?
He said further that when the IN
TEREST OF OUR RACE MEN IS
TURNED FROM SPORT TO BUSI-
NESS then we can realize what Mr..
Malone stated.
Next was the report of the Secre-
tary of the League by Hon. Emmett
]. Scott, secretary.
Among other things the secretary
stated that the league had passed
from the kindergarten stage and
reached the age of maturity and it
was now time for the league to go
forward or to die. He called atten-
ton to the condition and radical
changes taking place in this age with
a view of causing the league to see
the necessity of drastic action in
matters pertaining to the forward
movement of the affairs of the race.
He from excerpts called attention to
the necessity of adopting real pro-
gram which would give us push in
making forward step, without
which we must because of laxity,
lose our grip. He called attention to
the new methods which had been ad-
vised by the president at the last
meeting at Atlantic City, N. j., in
1918. The league needs larger and
better financial support from its ad-
herents, and the practice of living on
the philanthropy of the white race
is to be discouraged. He suggested
