Omaha, Nebraska, July 8, 1916 Vol. New York Raising Colored Regiment Recruiting Twelve Companies Which Will be Mustered Into Empire State Militia. FORMER NEBRASKAN COLONEL Governor Whitman Details Colonel Wm. Hayward and Captain Spencer to Form Regiment. New York, N. Y., July 8.—It is a certainty that the Colored men of New York State will be given an opportunity to serve as a body in the military service of the State. The organization of a regiment to be recruited among Colored men was authorized by the state legislature some time ago, but various causes have prevented its consummation. Governor Whitman has detailed Colonel William Hayward, of the New York National Guard, and a member of the Public Service Commission to the duty of recruiting and organizing the regiment. Active work in recruiting has started. V. W. Tandy having successfully passed the examination, has been designated as first lieutenant and assigned to duty as provisional commander of the First company of the regiment. Lieutenant Tandy is at present in charge of the recruiting headquarters. He is being assisted by Private Roy Morse, detailed from the 8th Coast Artillery, N. Y. N. G., and by other members of the First company who have already been uniformed and assigned to duty by Colonel Hayward. This will be the first regiment of Negro troops ever connected with the National Guard of the State. That the regiment will soon be recruited to full strength and ready to be sworn into State and Federal service is indicated by the fact that men are rapidly enlisting. Commissions Open to All. While Lieutenant Tandy is the only designated officer of the regiment at this time, it is understood that the men who offer for service will be given every opportunity to secure commissions in the regiment. Captain Lorillard Spencer of the 8th Coast Artillery, Military Secretary to Governor Whitman, is assisting Colonel Hayward in the organization of the regiment. General Leonard Wood of the United States Army and Major-General O'Ryan, commander of the N. Y. N. G., have approved the forming of the regiment. Col. Hayward's Military Record. Col. William Hayward, who will command the regiment, has had extensive military experience. At the age of 14 he enlisted in Company C, 2nd Nebraska Infantry, as a drummer boy. When old enough he enlisted as a private and was at once made a sergeant. He then took a four years course in the Cadet Battalion (Continued on eighth page) A Word of Warn There Must Be No Se at the Municipal Bea A Word of Warning: There Must Be No Segregation at the Municipal Beach Exodus of Colored Labor Causes Deep Concern Savannah, Ga., July 8.—Savannah is beginning to show genuine concern over the fact that such a large number of Colored residents are leaving here. They are dispatched to places where they can find work of a regular nature. Some of them have recently been dispatched to the tobacco fields of Connecticut and others have been sent to other sections of the country. They are sent away through the immigration bureau. "We would not care if the government only took the worthless class of Negroes," said a man who works a large number of them, "but it does not do this. It inquires especially whether those who apply for transportation are worthy and whether they are reliable and they only send that kind away. The result is that the industries with which I am interested are beginning to feel the scarcity of adequate labor. We may ask the government to quit taking our best laborers away from us." Several men who work large numbers of Colored men gave expression to the same view. The men report at the custom house and large numbers of them can be found there every day. PROPOSES MEMORIAL MEETING FOR COLORED CAVALRYMEN Boston, Mass., July 8. The National Equal Rights League suggests and urgently advises that everywhere Colored Americans hold Memorial Meetings in honor of the Colored Cavalrymen who were sacrificed in Mexico and died fighting bravely for the flag, which does not protect them at home. It would be most fitting to ulogize those black heroes right now, and appeal for equal rights for their race. White Irish-Americans are eulogizing Irish rebels of Ireland. A citizens committee should be formed at once in every city. Boston's meeting was held in old Faneuil Hall July 6th. President Byron Gunner, Milburn, N. Y., will be glad to get a notice of all such meetings. COLORED WISCONSINITES FORM ORGANIZATION Oskosh, Wis., July 8.—The Colored citizens of Wisconsin have formed a state organization to be known as the "Co-operative Development and Progressive Association." The purpose of the organization is to promote th best interests of the people throughout the state. The first meeting, which was recently held here, was well attended. Warning: t Be No Segregation iipal Beach Boxing Commissioners Knock Out Color Ban Albany, N. Y., July 8.—Boxing Commissionsrs of New York, with Chairman Fred C. Wenck, presiding unanimously decided in their meeting Wednesday morning, June 28, to remove the ban on mixed boxing bouts in the State of New York, which rule was adopted to prevent Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world, from fighting in this State. This action was taken after the subject had been considered in all its phases and after months of contention on the part of opponents of the rule that it was not only unfair but unsportsmanlike. Governor Whitman is largely responsible for this result, as he called the meeting and was in favor of the action taken. It will hardly open the way to the getting of Jess Willard into the ring with any of the Colored contenders for the title as he has discretely drawn the color line. Moran, who recently boxed Dillon in Brooklyn, is the only white heavyweight who has said he is willing to meet any of the boxers, regardless of their color. JAILED FOR INSULTING COLORED GIRLS Columbus, O., July 8.—R. B. McClurg, white, who claims Greenville, Pa., as his home, and who says he came to Columbus to join the army, was given $10 and costs and 10 days in the city prison by Judge Ruth in municipal court, Wednesday morning, for insulting two Colored girls at Mt. Vernon and Cleveland avenues, Tuesday night. McClurg was arrested by Sergeant Newport, who is said to have had a hard time keeping McClurg from being mobbed by a crowd while waiting for the patrol. JOHN BROWN'S HOME PURCHASED Meadville, Pa., July 8.—The National Historical Society has purchased five acres of land twelve miles east of here, which was formerly owned by John Brown of civil war fame and upon which he built a tannery. The society will inclose the land and erect a suitable marker to his memory. COLORED EMBALMERS Richmond, Va., July 8.—The Colored embalmers of this city have formed an association the purpose of which is to raise the profession to a higher standard and put all on the same foundation for the best interests of the business. Vol. II. No. 2 (Whole No. 54) Rooseveltian Rooters Will Support Hughes Progressive National Committee Endorses Republican Candidate for President. BULL MOOSERS ARE HEADLESS It is Conceded that the Return of the Prodigals Insure Hughes' Election. Chicago, July 8.—By a vote of 32 to 6—nine not voting and three absent the Progressive National Committee met in Chicago and indorsed the candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes for President, following the advice given in a letter from Theodore Roosevelt, which was read by Secretary Oscar K. Davis. The vacancy at the head of the Moose ticket caused by the declination of Colonel Roosevelt was not filled and will not be filled. To clinch the matter, the committee, after committing its leaders to Hughes without any strings, directed the executive committee to ally itself with Mr. Hughes' campaign and do all in its power to aid in his election. Committee Adjourned. The committee adjourned sine die and departed, leaving Colonel John M. Parker of Louisiana, the candidate for Vice-President, to follow whatever course he thinks best. He is still on the Progressive ticket, but it has no head and will not have one. Whether he will resign or decide to go on and do what damage he can to Charles W. Fairbanks will be determined after he has returned to Louisiana and had time to think it over. An effort to make Victor Murdock, of Kansas, for President, was overwhelmingly voted down. Hughes to the Committee. All doubts concerning Charles E. Hughes' attitude toward the two puzzles of his present campaign—the Hyphenates and Colonel Roosevelt—were swept away yesterday when the former justice of the Supreme Court, with his usual economy of words, expressed himself on both in a manner that left no opportunity for mistaking his meaning. Hyphenates generally and Germans who may have been responsible for criminal acts in America specifically were denounced in a telegram sent to O. K. Adams, chairman of the Progressive National Committee in the evening. The telegram, whose purpose was to thank the Progressives for their indorsement of his candidacy by a vote of 32 to 6, contained a clear statement of his views upon the Administration's foreign policy. Responsibility for the killing of Americans in Mexico and the activity of foreign agents in this country he placed squarely upon the shoulders of President Wilson because of his ever changing diplomatic program.

Buckner, a Spanish war veteran, accompanied by J. H. Lott, called on Governor Ralston Wednesday, June 21, and tendered his services to raise a regiment of Colored soldiers for service in Mexico. Captain Buckner served twelve years in the Indiana National Guard as second lieutenant and as first lieutenant and also as captain up until the war with Spain. Then he organized Company B, Indiana volunteers and served until the war closed. His long service and military training especially fit him for this work. He has already gone to some trouble to put himself in touch with men throughout the state who have served in the regular army and a number who served in the Spanish war and it will be easy to organize and officer a regiment with men who are competent and have seen service. The best Colored citizens are behind the movement. OWNS WELL EQUIPPED FUNERAL ESTABLISHMENT Nashville, Tenn., July 8.—It is said that A. N. Johnson, the well-known undertaker of this city, is the only Colored man in the United States to own and operate an automobile funeral car. Mr. Johnson's establishment is also said to be the only race firm furnishing an entire automobile THE MONITOR outfit entirely from its own establishment. The hearse is of pure white, beautifully carved and very heavily draped. The daily newspapers speak of the establishment in the highest terms. PULLMAN PORTERS GET SLIGHT RAISE Chicago, Ill., July 8.—The Pullman company for a long while has been dodging the issue to raise the railroad porter. More than 1,000 of the "Boys in Blue" were given an increase in wages on Tuesday, June 28. The increase affects the men who have been in the service fifteen years. Thy will get a five per cent increase. This means the princely (?) salary of about $28.75 a month. The traveling public is expected to pay the rest of a living wage. TWO WOMEN AND ONE MAN St. Louis, Mo., July 8.—During the storm which swept Madison county Friday afternoon, June 23, two boats containing Colored people at the Lovejoy School, Brooklyn, Ill., picnicing on Horseshoe Lake, five miles east of Granite City, were overturned. Three women and an unidentified man were drowned. Five others, three men and two women, narrowly escaped. The dead are: Mrs. Bertha Murphy, 26 years old; Gertrude Martin, 16; Hazei Moore, 31; and an unidentified man. They were all residents of Brooklyn, Ill.

At a recent meeting of the "Humane Society," an organization of white women, they protested against the white and Colored people being mixed in the prisons of the state. They want the city to build a separate jail for Colored women, also to buy a farm and set the Colored women to work, instead of having them staying in prison. CHATTANOOGA RAISING COLORED COMPANY Chattanooga, Tenn., July 8.—Chattanooga Colored citizens will not be behind if volunteers are called for to help take care of the Mexican situation. This is evidenced by the fact that already a company of almost the required strength of 100 men has been quietly signed up. Dr. J. A. Mason, a prominent physician, and Will Johnson, are the moving spirits in the organization, and the former states that the men are ready to go if their services are needed. WASHINGTONIANS PRESENT Washington, D. C., July 8.—Some six thousand people were present on the campus of Howard University Wednesday and Thursday, June 28 and 29, to view a pageant representing the "Soul of Shakespeare."

Gray, 2610 Seward street, Thursday afternoon, June 29, complimentary to Dorothy Williams, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. John Albert Williams, and little Margaret Dickerson, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Dickerson, who is Mrs. Gray's godchild. Patriotic colors figured strongly in the exterior decorations, while Ward roses held first place among daisies and snap dragons as interior decorations. The Misses Camile Simpson and Madeline Roberts saw that each want was supplied and furnished piano and victrola music. The feast on the lawn was served from dainty baskets; the little ones were provided with caps, games, horns, books and balls. After several poses the young people concluded the afternoon's pleasure with a program. Instrumental solos were rendered by Gladys Brown, Frances Gordon and Dorothy Williams; vocal solos by Pauline Black and Elaine Smith, and Thomas Scott Phillips gave a recitation. Thirty-nine children were present. Mesdames A. D. James, H. W. Black, C. W. Dickerson, J. F. Smith, W. Newman, T. S. Phillips and J. A.

The afternoon was enjoyed by all Mrs. Haley entertaining the ladies with a very interesting little talk in which she told of the rise of one of our race, a woman from wage-earner to manufacturer. Punch was served throughout the afternoon. At 8 p. m. a very nice crowd gathered at the Temple Theatre to listen to a lecture by Mrs. Haley.

A LITTLE INCONSISTENT New York Germans, a few days ago, applied to Governor Whitman for permission to organize a regiment of German-Americans. Permission was refused upon the ground that among American citizens there should be no race or class distinctions and that all Americans should enlist simply as Americans in any company where men may be needed. All of which is very good. At the same time, however, the good governor of New York authorized the organization of a Colored regiment, and that because, while there should be "no race or class distinctions among American citizens," Colored Americans are not allowed to "enlist simply as Americans in any company where men may be needed." This shows the strange inconsistences into which American prejudice forces even such strong and clear-headed men as Governor Whitman and justifies the position which we have always taken that the Colored American is regarded and forced to be in a very large measure a separate and distinct entity in our national and civic life. We are glad New York is to have a Colored regiment, officered, as soon as practiacble by Colored men. We are pleased that Colonel William Hayward, one of Nebraska's boys, is to be colonel of the regiment. It will be a crack regiment. At the same time we cannot overlook the fact that it is inconsistent to authorize the raising of an Afro-American regiment and refuse permission for the organization of a German-American regiment. A news item states that "the white society women of Austin, Texas, want a separate prison for the Colored women." Well, if those "society women" don't like the society of "colored women," let them behave themselves and keep out of jail. What do they want to jails for? Won't one hold them all? Despite our careful proof-reading last week's issue contained an unusual number of typographical errors which we regret. The weather was hot as and three of the office force were away on their well-earned vacations and the rest of us wished we were and you doubtless wish so too. "I do like your short, srisp, snappy editorials," said a friend to us the other day. We are not quite decided us to whether he intended it for a compliment or a hint. Cultivate the saving habit. Begin now. The saving habit like any other grows by use. Cut out some needless expense and lay aside something if it be only 25 cents a week. --- GOOD MANNERS WILL TAKE YOU WHERE MONEY WON'T We've been thinking much of our mother of late and the reason for it is this: The sixth anniversary of her going home has just passed and it is our custom to mark the day with a requiem, when we devoutly pray that the place of waiting may be for her a place of light, refreshment and endless growth the Face of God transforming her unto Himeslf. This may seem an unwarranted intrusion of one's faith here and some may not understand it; but to us it is all very real and strengthens the bond of affection which death is powerless to sever. It explains why our mother has been much in our thoughts this week. Memory has drawn back the curtain of the years and we see ourself a curly-headed boy again sitting on simmer evenings beside our lowly kitchen door while, scarlet-runner and morning glory vines clamber over trellis, and the fragrance of the bee-inviting mignionette perfumes the air. Mignionette is fragrant yet and portulaca as brilliantly colored now as then, but somehow there seem to be no such wonderful flowers now as those which grew in mother's garden when we were a child. It was her custom to gather her children around her at the early twilight hour and to tell what manner of children, and ultimately, if it please God, what manner of men and women she wanted us to strive to be. Just what thousands of mothers all over the world were wont to tell their children then and what many doubtless still do. And yet we sometimes think that mothers today consider themselves too busy to give such time and attention to their children. Are we mistaken as to this? This precept among the many other homely ones then lodged by mother in our memory comes to us now: "Good manners, my son, will take you where money won't." Through all the years of our life this simple teaching has borne its fruit. We believe that today our boys and girls, our young men and young women, need to have this truth kept constantly before them. Rudeness and pertness seem to be characteristic of our age and nation. On the streets, in street cars and in public places people seem to be too much in a hurry to be polite and considerate. This is not a racial characteristic, but a national characteristic chargeable perhaps to the feverishness of the times. It may help us all if we think often of the homely precept: "Good manners will take you where money won't." SUBSCRIBE FOR THE MONITOR GOOD GROCERIES ALWAYS C. P. WESIN GROCERY CO.

A Christian household in the midst of a community is frequently more po- tent than a Christian Church. Often- times a Church is an artificial insti- tution, and has very little influence upon the neighborhood in which it is situated. You sometimes hear it said, “I like to go to church and sleep while the minister prays and preaches, and so pass away the time;” but no- body speaks so about the family. There is always freshness there; there is always vitality there; there is always something there that touch- es the heart and fills it. And the family is, I had almost said, Ged’s mouthpiece in this world, which speaks to ten thousand sympathies in us. A man that builds a household is not building up selfishness; he is building the mightiest influence in the world. It is not he alone who wields the sword that is a soldier; he that forges the sword on the anvil is also a soldier. The blacksmith says, ‘I cannot fight, but I can make something to fight with;’ and he is a soldier. And a man that in the fam- ily is forging a bold-hearted boy is putting a sword in the world that will be felt in the great battle of Armageddon. Do you think that when Luther’s mother was working her boy out she was doing nothing? | All who are faithfully building up families in the world are building God’s battering rams against iniquity and for goodness.” CLOSE OF FREE TRIP CONTEST When the Free Trip Contest, now being run for the benefit of the N. W. C. A. home, closes July 12, Mrs. Mar- tha Smith, the chairman, hopes to be able to turn over enough money to pay off the balance owed on the home. Let Omaha turn out and help to make the grand entertainment to be given at Mecca Hall on the evening of July 12th a glorious success. The com- mittee in charge is sparing no pains to make this entertainment one of the grandest affairs ever given in Omaha. Omaha’s best talent has been secured for this occasion. Mrs. Henry Buford, Omaha’s popu- lar dancing instructor, has been train- ing a number of Omaha’s younger belles for the past six weeks and they will present a unique and classy act on this evening. Come out and see what Omaha’s girls can do. All the contestants will have their own booths, where their friends may cast votes for them. Support your favorites and see which one of Oma- ha’s charming daughters will win this trip. If you have anything to dispose of, a Want Ad in The Monitor will sell it. THE MONITOR LITTLE MOTHERS OF MEN TO BE By Ella Wheeler Wilcox Whether you frolic with comrade boys, Or sit at your studies or play with toys; Whatever your station or place or sphere, For just one purpose God sent you here; And always and ever you are to me, Dear little mothers of men to be. So would I guard you from all mean things; From the dwarfing of wealth and from poverty’s stings; And from silly mothers of fuss and show And from dissolute fathers whose aims are low. I would take you and shield you and set you free, Dear little mothers of men to be. And then were the wish of my heart fulfilled, Around about you the world should build A wall of Wisdom, with Truth for its Tower, Where mind and body would wax in power Till the tender twig was a splendid tree, Dear little mothers of men to be. It is only a dream; but the world grows wise, And a mighty truth in the dream seed lies That shall gladden the earth in its time and place: We must better the Mothers to better the race! BAPTISTS HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC About 300 persons attended the seventh big annual picnic of the Zion Baptist Church, held July 4th, at Mil- ler’s Park.

HUTTEN'S OFFICE NOT A RECRUITING PLACE We most cheerfully make a correction of an item which appeared in our last week's issue, which stated that the down town recruiting office for Colored volunteers was Dr. Hutten's office, 107 South Fourteenth street. This was the information given our reporter from what was considered reliable sources. The recruiting office is at this street and number, not, however, in Dr. Hutten's office, but in a vacant room over Dr. Hutten's office, which has been placed at the disposal of those having this matter in charge. We are glad to make this correction at Dr. Hutten's courteous request. WOLF'S STORE GROWS IN POPULARITY Although J.

It is a coincidence that his military training in this battalion was received under Lieut. John J. Pershing of the 10th Cavalry, now General Pershing, commanding the United States troops in Mexico. A year prior to the war with Spain Sergeant Hayward was promoted to a captaincy, commanding Company C, 2nd Nebraska National Guard. The entire regiment was mustered in for the Spanish-American war as United States volunteers, and Captain Hayward served a little less than a year. After the Spanish-American war service the regiment was mustered back into the Nebraska National Guard, and he was made a major. After a year's service commanding a battalion Major Hayward was elected colonel of the 2nd regiment, serving in that capacity for three years. He was then appointed adjutant general of the State, but declined to serve, as he had been elected county judge. He was then retired from active service, being placed on the Military Board and Reserve Militia with rank of colonel. He was made a member of the New York Militia Reserve with the rank of colonel and now Governor Whitman has detailed him to organize the regiment of Negro soldiers which he will command. Regimental Band to be Formed. Plans are also being laid by Colonel Hayward and Captain Spencer to form a regimental band that will compare favorably with any in the National Guard. A number of the Colored men who have been most active the past in agitating for a Negro regiment will align themselves with Colonel Hayward and Lieutenant Tandy.
