with headquarters in New York City,
has accomplished some things of
value to the Negro race in the United
States. 1t has seemed to us that the
association has succeeded in convinc-
ing Northern people that the better
element, at least, in every Southern
community is friendly to the Negro
and his efforts to advance himself.
The association undoubtedly has
caused the people of other sections to
realize that the better element in
every Southern community is OPP
posed to lynchings. But the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored Peoyle has rendered
the colored race a disservice in pro-
testing against he order of the WAR
Department segregating white and
colored Gold Star Mothers. The
association evidently thinks it mat
ter of no Importance to these colored
mothers whether or not the white
mothers desired or even were willing
to tolerate their presence aboard the
same ship"
Thomasvile, Ca, Enterprise:
"Such protests merely infame the
people of the country against the
Negro and the leaders that have lost
all sense of fitness in their unreason-
able dmeands for social equality
through the political influence they
supposedly possess over the political
parties in the North"
Anderson, S. c., Independent:
Charmed it'll it's success in bringing
about the defeat of confirmation of
the nomination of Judge Parker to
be an associate justice Of the United
States Supreme Court, the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People is now making war
on President Hoover because in send
ing Gold Star Mothers and Widows
to the battlefelds of Europe, our War
Department is sending Negro women
together and not mixing them with
white women. However, in this fight
that association will hardly get the
assistance of the Georgia and other
southern senators that it did in the
fight on Parker"

The case of Miss Gay Twitty, high
school girl who was roughly handled
by Park Policeman A. L. Moore has
created sensation. 1t is alleged
that this girl was passing through
Monroe Park, on the way to her
home, 2O7 Lombardy Street from tn
Armstrong High School, when she
was interfered with by some white
boys. Officer Moore took a hand
and roughly manhandled Miss Twit-
ty, after which he hauled her to the
First Police Station. Her brother
in-law, hearing of the affair, went
to the park to investigate and was
promptly arrested and fined $500
by Judge Haddon in the Police Court
Park Officer Moore informs The
Planet that he has been falsely ac-
cused and that he did not handle
Miss Twitty roughly at all. The
Planet is not prejudiced in this mat
ter, but acted in good faith when it
was informed of this alleged out
ragged. The columns of The Planet
are open for all citizens and we
should welcome any statement from
Park keeper Moore.

tracts from those letters:

Mrs. Mabel Johnson: Despite my
intense desire to visit the grave Of

Jim Crow invitation"
Mrs. Emma Houston, Philadelphia:

protest the insult to the living as a
wanton and unnecessary act"
Mrs. Carrie G. Brown, Eatonton,
Ga: "The segregation of Gold Star
Mothers on our trip to our sons
graves is what I should call shame
on the U. S. Government. 4. It's
enough to go there to see the loss of

the segregation combined is dread
full"
Mrs. Lawrence Baylor, Bowling
Green, Va: 81 firmly protest against

New York, une.-The Readers Di-
gest for June, 1880, has reprinted
from The World Tomorrow for April,
an article by William Pickens, Field
Secretary of the National Assccia-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People, entitled "The Death Detail" .
It is a story of what goes on behind
the curtain Of secrecy in a military
trial, and gives details of the excel
lion of thirteen black soldiers of the
oath Infantry for their part in the
Houston Riot" of 1917.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1930-06-28

The story, to which Mr.. Pickens
writes an explanatory introduction is
taken from letter written by a
white soldier who guarded the Negro
prisoners during their trial and exc
cution. The soldier states his belief
that the trial was fair and impartial,
and that the faces of the white SOL
diers were wet it'll tears as the Ne
gro soldiers sang before their execu-
ton. An attitude of fairness on
the part of the hite soldiers toward
the Negro soldiers is shown through
out the vivid narrative.

Renaissance of Early
DAYS of "Fair Harvard"

The student who works his way
through college is not fairly recent
phenomenon.
He can go way back in 1857 in this
country and find precedent at Har-
ward. Incidentally, the child prodigy
can find a precedent in the same case,
for the student in question, Zacharlah
Bridgen, entered Harvard at the age
of fourteen and graduated four years
later, at the age at which many are
just getting through high school.
Zachariah, according to information
received by federal educational Off
Gals, served as a waiter and rang the
school bell. The stewards books
show him charged with "commones
and sizings" (board, together with
drink ordered from the buttery)
tuition, "study-rente and beed' Groom
and bed), flyer and candell' (fire and
candles), wood, etc." and a charge
for bringing corn from Charlestown."
He was credited on his account with
SILVER, sugar, wheat, malt, Indian
(corn) hooge and a bush Of pars-
napes." He was also given, on De-
cember 81, 1854, credit for "ringinge
the bell and waytinge' pound 2 shill-
ings and pence.
The total cost of an education at
college in those days ran from 500
to 5000 in silver and groceries.
