Progressive Party Asking
Declaration on Negro.
Urges PrO9ressiVeS to Hct AGAINST
Discrimination.

~ !
NEW YORK, July 11-(Special t
The Planet is the tex
of the letter sent by the Nationa
Association for the Advancement o.
Colored People, in 18th Annual Con
ference in Philadelphia, to the Third
Party Convention in Cleveland:
To the Cleveland Conference
for Progressive Political Action,
Gentlemen:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People in
Fifteenth Annual Conference, speak
ing for a large portion Of the think
ing Negroes of America, takes this
opportunity to lay before your Con
ference certain considerations touch
ing the Negro race.
The political power of Negroes has
greatly increased owing to the con-
tinuous migration of black working
people from the disfranehising South
to the industrial centers of the North
Any political party which aims to
attract the votes Of Negroes today
must first convince them of its de-
termination and ability to forward
their industrial and political and
social emancipation.
This emancipation involves the
same problems of labor and wage,
of monopoly and pribilege, of effec-
tibe industrial democracy, which
face all laboring classes the world
over
But the American Negri has in ad-
dition to these another and more
subtle and more dangerous problem,
that of discrimination against him
within the very ranks of labor itself;
discrimination to keep him out of
tire unions; discrimination in the
1cc".iions after he has Joined; discrim-
'inaU1ens of all Sorts to deprive him
of earning a decent livelihood.
1t is this widespread and deter
mined race discrimination that Is
alternating the Negro vote from the
progressive and liberal and labor
vote and is furnishing the capital
lists free Of charge not only cheap
and increasingly efficient and non
union and union-hating labor but
also large and growing vote in the
main industrial center of the country
We appeal to the Cleveland Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac-
ton to take such enlightened and
far-sighted steps against race and
color discrimination as will enable
us to appeal to our people in behalf
of the liberal and labor varties OF
the nation, without being faced by
the present incontrovertible fact that
these very persons are today greater
enemies of our right to earn decent
bread and butter than the captains
of Monopoly and Privilege.

NEW HOSPITAL

Help us to get a new hospital To
think of it $4,000 colored people in a
city with a hospital which they can
call their own which can only accom-
modate 25 patients. No, no, no, we
will not stand for this but will come
together as a loving race should do
and give our kttle mites to either re.
build or purchase another site. II
every colored person in the city OF
Richmond would give $500 apiece VIC
could erect a magnificent hospital
which would be a credit to our race.
The committee in charge is very
much encouraged and it is believed
that they are going to receive checks
from every church in the city OF Ricn
me- nd, every business firm ami every
organization. The committee will
flood the city with letters and it is be
1;eved that every well,. hiking woman
and man in the city with race pride
heart will give willingly. Remember
the beautiful words of our Lord. He
said: cit is more blessed to give than
to receive. When the workers come
to your doors don't refuse them but
give willingly. They have buttons to
sell at a dollar each for adults and
twenty-five cents each for children.
They have cards which hold ten dollars
each and also votes which are being
sold by the agents at fifteen cents
each.
Let us give to everyone who comes
to us in the behalf of the Sarah G..
Jones Memorial Hospital. Look at the
good that she has done in the past and
that she is doing in the present. You
can purchase your button at any of the
doctors or ministers in our city. We
are asking that you will purchase a
button at once and wear it in order
that Won may advertise the campaign
We ask especially that the clubs and
organizations in the city will please
send donation at once and a special
pledge to help put the proposition
over.
When this hospital is completed we
can say that it is a colored hospita
and not white hospital that takes co
ored patients. We have the most won
derful Endorsements that any coloref
campaign has had in the state of Wiz
ginia. The campaign will continue
throughout the month of July. We arr
asking that every family in the cit!
Of Richmond will purchase these but
tons at the earliest convenience for tn
children as well as the grown people
We have the most wonderful site u
view. which is appropriate for an in
stitution Of this kind. If there is
man or a woman in the city that be
lieves in charitable work they shoul
be interested in this undertaking i

UNPAID BILLS

There is one situation that
should be given serious thought
by the business men Of Waycross.
This situation can best be explain
ed by specific case. A man
goes down to store and estab-
fishes credit. He buys goods
making a FIRST payment. AS the
weeks go by he finds himself
more and more deeply involved.
Soon he decides that he cannot
pay his debts on his present sal
airy.
What does he do?
Several of them have taken the
goods back and have said that
they were moving to another
town in search of higher wages.
The furniture stores of Waycross
could furnish the names of many
who have done this within the
past two or three months.
Others go to loan office, sell
their salaries, and then become
more deeply involved than ever.
Every pay day finds them gath
cred in ever frightening lines in
front of some loan office. This
situation is familiar to every law
yer, merchant and railroad off
cial in Waycross.
Some of them initiate bank
rupUCy proceedings and Mace
upon themselves for the rest of
their lives the onus of having
been a bankrupt.
1t is time for the salaried, bust
ness and professional men of
Waycross to give this matter due
consideration. The time for
speaking softly has passed.

your family physician and follow his
advice as to the way in which these
exercises should be taken.
5. Remember that the only way
to test the value of these exercises
is to follow them regularly every
day for about two months. BY that
time you will see the great value in
performing them daily.

Jungle Emotions.

Do you feel irritable and aggre3-
sive when you need food? Most
people DO, especially nervous tem-
peraments. As soon as they satisfy
the cravings Of the stomach, they
relax and feel at peace with the
world.
All this is inherited from ancient
times when man was in the animal
state. or not far removed. from it.
Nature made animals and primitive
men aggressive and wrathful when
they needed food, so they'd be in
cited to go out into the jungle ard
kill.
hunger appeased, they gelaxed,
became drowsy--nature again as
serting her cunning by making them
want to lie down and doze, giving
the stomach unrestricted blood sup
ply to aid digestion and rebuild the
exhausted cells of the body.
We no longer have to go out ant
kill animal life with bow and arrow
or spear or hand-to-hand combat.
We simply go to restaurant or
open the lunch paiI-and get what
We want. If the service is slow and
appetite ferocious, we occasionally
revert to jungle type and feel like
going out and matchmaking the
chief waiter to rush our meal.
Obviously, there's no longer any
physical or other necessity for If
rltability and aggressiveness accom-
panylng hunger. These unpleasant
sensations are superfIuous. But ma
ture hasn't quite kept up with cur
rapid advancement. Jungle days are
gone, but hasn't eliminated jungle
emotions.
In many other ways, civilized
man has "outgrown" his physical
body. We've become civilized FAST
Natures evolution is slower. SO we
haven't shaken off jungle emotions
and jungle physique. Our bodies
ana emotions are like driving
stagecoach in an age of airpIanes.
That's what the highbrows mean
when they claim the machinery
and systems of civilization have
developed faster than mans ability
to handle them.

In 1882 an artist took block

Take Your Time

Take your time. Don't run
through life. Whether walk
ing or riding, minute or two,
more or less. matters little,
when you remember that you II
possibly be around here for sew
eral thousand more days.
Too much speed means few
er days below.
Are we really Speed Crazy?
We're accused often enough,
and most Of us believe it. But
just go into the downtown dis
:rict Of Atlanta or any large
city and watch the pedestrians,
especially those who ambIe along
on the wrong side of the walk,
balling up traffic. Watch them
in the busy hours-and you be-
gin to revise your notions about
Speed Mania.
Occasionally one of the ped
estrians hustles so fast he al
almost knocks his neighbors
down But this speeder is ex-
hibiting a squirt Of speed, not a
chronic condition. He's hust-
ling to get to the bank before it
closes-or hurrying to some 9th
er destination because he loafed
too long previously and got
started late.
People, when on their feet,
are as slow as they were in
grandpas day-probably slow
er. That's because movement
on foot requires expenditure
Of personal effort.
When the average person gets
into an auto he wants to speed.
And that's because movement
by auto doesn t require much eff
fort If it were as much work
as walking, most autos would
rarely exceed FIVE miles an hour.
The efficiency experts in many
cases have rugged up systems SO
people have to work at certain
speed or get buried under on

The most OF us are rarely
anxiouo to speed up except when
here is no real need Of speed.
We hurry our eating and fret
ourselves into nervous impa-
hence because we are held back
by the element Of time in
reaching amusemeuts or destina-
lions and events that excite cur
curiosity. This, of course, is
the worst kind of speed--the
sort that shortens life and de
stroys the health.

DECEPTION

An old man died the other day in
