A WORD FROM BALTIMORE.
Commendatory Statement to the
Planet and Editor.

lam n constant reader of the Planet
have been for years. l enjoy II
and am interested in 1t; /
take pleasure in possessing each
copy weekly. We'll folks in my man,
readings and observings Of the Planet
and Editor, one Of the most daring ami
vigorous Negro editors, John Mitch
ell Jr The very fact that he is n Negro
and lives in Richmond does not pre-,
vent him from being very courageous,
almost to fault. He surely has been
regarded as natural born artist.
Much of his work has been highly com
mended by Hon. Frederick Douglass,
Senators Malone and John A. Logan.
His strong point as an editor Is to bat
tie against the outrages perpctrated
upon his people in the South
But folks, the world is funny. 1t is
rather cold and Indifferent. 1t seems
to sit idly by and let people perish or
thrive without the least comment. 1t
doesn't care. 1t lets destiny do what
1T pleaseS. Success then. is simply q
case of the survival of the fittest. But
maybe all this is as 1t should be. Tt
makes us all fight for what we ge,,
this, Mr.. Mitchell has done and is still
onward in movement for the pinnacle
of success. Fight for what we get, it
brings out the biggest and best tlrat'A
in us. We will admit, that only live
fish SWIM up stream. When you act
quicker, or think deeper, or work
harder, or try mdre pcrsistently than
your fellows-you succeed in bigger
measures. Other wise you sink, you
fail. Is this editor, who has the repu-
tation of being the gamest Afro-Amer!-
can editor upon tho continent SWIM
ming upstream, we'll III say he is.
In view Of the fact that Hon. Olive,
>. Sands, President Of tho American
National Bank has consented to offer
plans in the movement of re,opening
the Mechanics Bank Of which Nh.
Mitchell is president, let us honor Mr..
Mitchell, If only q few.
May his life be spared to continue
the great work he has set for himself
May his personal bravery and courage
be IN incentive to others. AS he en-.
joys the confidence, esteem and sup.
port OF his fellow citizens which
speaks openly for the Planet undikturb
ed resolutions.

have ever made more adequate and
complete arrangements for a meeting
OF the National Convention than tho

And Whereas, the coming Of the
convention meant so much to our rae
ial group and so much more to our de
nomination and believe they will do
