RACE MEN GIVE SATISFACTION Serious Trouble Has Resulted in Former Strikes Because of the Displacement of Whites by Negroes. Chattanooga, Tenn., August 11. The recent strike of union molders at the plant of the Chattanooga Roofing and Foundry company and the subsequent employment of Colored men to fill their places has recalled to older labor men other strikes and like results in days when the city was young. At the beginning of Chattanooga's industrial history, so runs the story related to our reporter, every foundry in operation was manned by white union molders. This continued until a certain manufacturer, in order to obtain less expensive labor, conceived the idea of training the Colored men who acted in the capacity of helpers to white men to the molders' trade. The first step in this direction was the selection of an expert white tradesman to instruct the Colored workers, and as white men here would not agree to do the work the manufacturer went north and in a short time, it is related, returned accompanied by George Gibson, a white molder, who had been induced to undertake the task of making mechanics out of the raw material at hand. So successful was Gibson in training the men that it was only a short time until the white men were retired and the foundry had all its work done by Colored men, and continues under that arrangement. Other manufacturers, forced to compete with the Colored labor, followed the example set by the pioneer in the movement, and other important plants passed from the jurisdiction of the white union molders. Placing of Colored men in these plants was not accompanied without stubborn resistance of the journeymen molders' organizations, which have combated the movement in battle after battle. Serious trouble resulted from the lockout of the white molders at one of the plants some years ago, several strike-breakers being wounded and their assailants compelled to leave the city. Trouble at the roofing company, if not settled, doubtless will mean the loss of another important base by the local molders' union and affect southside citizens who have made their home here for many years. The situation at the plant is unchanged, the management reporting it has sufficient operating force, while on the other hand the strikers say only a few inexperienced Negroes are at work. Omaha, Nebraska, August 12, 1916 1,100 Race Men Desert Savannah, Georgia Savannah, Ga., Aug. 11.—The Savannah union station was a black paradise today, when nearly 1,100 Colored laborers, ranging in age from 21 to 45 years, started for Philadelphia on two special trains. They are to work along the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad. A crowd of 2,500 relatives and friends crowded into the station and down to the train shed to see them off. Policemen had some difficulty in restraining the crowd which surged up against the gates when they were opened to admit those who were to board the trains. There was nothing of the sorrow of parting in the crowd, everybody who left being in an excursion mood, and those who stayed behind being sure that they would be well taken care of by the wages sent home. 6,000 HEAR FIRST REGIMENTAL BAND, K. OF P. The First Regimental Band, K. of P. gave their initial municipal concert of the season at Riverview Park last Sunday before an audience of about 6,000 people. The union bands of the city have waged a bitter fight to prevent the employment of non-union bands for municipal concerts. The recent decision of Judge Day laid down the principle that it was illegal for the city to contract only with union players. PREACHER KILLED WHEN AUTOMOBILE OVERTURNS Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 11.—The body of Rev. E. H. Hardy, 55, pastor of the Baptist church of Ashland, Ky., was brought to his home in Ashland last week from Williamson, W. Va., where he met his death when an automobile in which he was being rushed to the station turned over an embankment. Rev. Hardy, who was one of the best known ministers of the tri-state region, had gone to Williamson to deliver a special sermon. OKLAHOMANS WILL TRAVEL IN OWN AUTOS Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 11.—T. J. Elliott, the dry goods merchant of Muskogee, Okla., has written to the representatives of the Kansas City Negro Business League, advising that an overland trip will be made from Oklahoma to Kansas City by more than one hundred persons in automobiles. All the automobiles are owned by Oklahoma Negro business men.

Springfield Sued When Bathing Pools Are Closed Springfield, Ill., Aug. 11.—Colored citizens of Springfield planned last Saturday to file injunction proceedings against the park board of Springfield to compel the board to grant them permission to use public bathing places here. A swimming pool in one of the local parks was closed Thursday when three Negroes attempted to swim in it. ST. LOUIS GIANTS SECURE FEDERAL PARK St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 11—After much dilly-dallying over one of the most momentous questions that has yet arisen in this city affecting the future of Negro baseball, the Federal League base ball park has been secured by Charles C. Mills and associates, and will be the future home of the St. Louis Colored and white fans of the Mound City. This is generally regarded in Colored base ball circles as a most important circumstance, as it adds just that much more to the fast growing popularity of baseball among the Colored and white fans of the Mound City. ELMER BOWMAN, SONG WRITER, DIES SUDDENLY New York, Aug. 11.—Elmer Bowman, well known and popular in theatrical circles, who wrote the words to the song, "Go 'Way Back and Sit Down," to which Al Johns composed the music, died early Saturday morning at the Bellevue Hospital of acute indigestion. Elmer Bowman was born in Denver, Colo., September 15, 1877. He first attracted attention in New York as a song writer and was responsible for several popular hits. LEFT MONEY TO HER MAID Richmond, Va., Aug. 11.—Mrs. Ellen Sturat Bentley, formerly of this city, died last April in New York, and in her will left $8,000 of her $10,000 estate to her maid, Minnie F.

Jackson the Originator FIND READY MARKET FOR CROP The Settlement Is Prosperous and Contented. The Town of Deersfield Has Store, Hotel, Church. Denver, Colo., Aug. 11.—Oliver T. Jackson, Colored messenger in the office of the governor with the help of the latter, secured a portion of a 20,000-acre tract of government land and induced a number of Colored families in Denver to go out and locate on it. In the city they were living in undesirable quarters, doing ill-paid work under conditions that were a moral menace. Some of them were so poor that they had to be helped financially to make the move, but they went, one after another, until now 40 families are there located, cooperating in farm work, prosperous, comfortably housed and contented. They live in a town called Deersfield, have a combination store and hotel and a church, and find in Denver a ready market for their produce. $5,000 TOWARD NEW Y. M. C. A. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 11.—Announcement has just been made that a check for $5,000 toward the new Y. M. C. A. for our men has within the last few days been received by the treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. from the Pullman Company. This contribution is credited on the $75,000, which the Metropolitan Board of Directors has received for the Colored Branch, as Mr. Hanford Crawford, the president of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Philemon Bevis, the general secretary of the St. Louis Young Men's Christian Association, made a special trip to Chicago for the purpose of enlisting the Pullman Company's interest in the project.

CANNOT DIVIDE POLITICALLY We, as a race, cannot afford to divide politically. We must vote as we do vote, practically as a unit. And nationally, for the present at least, we must vote for the republican party. Locally, we can, and ought to, disregard party lines, and vote for men, irespective of their party affiliation, whom we know and believe to be friendly to our people and who will give us a square deal. Not special privileges, for we do not ask or expect, neither should we have special privileges, but our just rights and privileges in common with other citizens. Whenever we find such a man seeking election we should give him our united support. This we can and ought to do in local and state politics. In national politics, as conditions are at present, we cannot consistently follow this rule. We may know, for example, a man like the present able, fair-minded and fearless democratic senator from Nebraska, Gilbert M. Hitchcock, who has the disposition and desire to be friendly to our people and with whom our interests would be perfectly safe, could he have his way. But we cannot support Mr. Hitchcock, because Mr. Hitchcock must stand with his party. And, unfortunately, the democratic party is dominated and controlled not by the broad-visioned men of that party from the north and west, but by the reactionary, low-browed mulatto-breeding men of the South. The democratic party is the reactionary South absolutely hostile to the Colored American. So long as this is true, the race cannot afford to vote for a democrat for senator or representative unless his opponent be known to be absolutely unfriendly, and then in that case, one's duty would be plain. And so nationally, our duty is to support the republican party. We regret that conditions are such that we cannot divide as other race groups may on political questions; for on public questions, we, like other intelligent people, must of necessity differ. We do not all think alike. Naturally, then, we could like to align ourselves with that party which lays emphasis upon this or that policy which appeals most strongly to our individual judgment or view point. But the open and avowed hostility of the democratic party to us as a race makes it impossible for us to support it. The attitude of the Wilson administration by its policy of segregation, wholesale dismissal of Colored officeholders, and attempted Jim Crow legislation has indefinitely postponed the day when members of the race can with any self-respect support for national office any democrat. The race cannot divide politically. We must vote as a unit and nationally --- THE MONITOR we must support the republican ticket for there only can we see a glimmer of hope. The Crisis, the ably-edited organ of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, ought to be in the home of every member of the race in the United States. Moreover, as many copies as possible should be gotten into the hands of white people in every community. The net paid circulation of this admirable magazine for the first six months of the year 1916 was 37,800. We hope that before the end of the year its net paid circulation may be at least 75,000. Show your race pride by subscribing for The Crisis. In doing so you are helping in the fight against lynching, segregation and race proscription. It is our only national race magazine. It is a most hopeful and encouraging sign to notice how largely our people are entering into business. We ought to make it a matter of principle to support and build up reputable race enterprises. The stronger our business institutions can become, the more positions can be opened for our boys and girls. We must become important factors in the commercial and business world. Boost our business and professional men and women. Boost business ventures among our people. The Monitor's subscription list is growing nicely, thank you. Be sure you can keep a promise before you make one. Resist every effort to curtail your just rights. Be careful about keeping your word. A few days before the last election of city commissioners I attended a mass meeting where Mayor J. C. Dahlman and other candidates spoke. The meeting took place on North 24th street, and the audience consisted mostly of Jews with a few Gentiles intermixed, among them was conspicuous one Colored gentleman whose intelligent countenance and personality drew my attention. I became anxious to know who he was, but my anxiety had reached its acme when I noticed that nearly every Jew that passed his seat greeted him most cordially and shook his hand. With THE CRISIS BOOST BUSINESS VENTURES Buy homes. JOHN G. PEGG. Editor Monitor: Get Acquainted With These Candidates Now Vote For WILL N. JOHNSON FOR PUBLIC DEFENDER Republican Candidate Geo. A. Magney Democratic Candidate for County Attorney impatience I waited for the end of the meeting and as soon as it was over I stepped up to him and asked: "Who are you, sir, and why are you so popular among the Jews." "Why," said he, "I am John G. Pegg, city inspector of weights and measures." Of course, I had not failed to give my name. We soon became engaged in some timely conversation which lasted about half an hour. I became convinced that which I previously surmised was a reality. I met him afterwards quite often and always thought of the fanatics of the South (alas! there are some of them now in the North) who allow to ride in the street cars white characters of the underworld but segregate men like Mr. John G. Pegg. I have asked many Jewish peddlers their opinion of Mr. Pegg and each and every one of them could find no words but the highest in praiseing him. "He seldom made an arrest, but rather reproached us and urged us to get a correct weight or measure at once." I am quite certain that his liberality was due not only to his good character and his cheerful disposition, but also to the fact that he was a Colored man. Had he enforced the law according to the power allotted him, in other words, if he were as strict as a white man, he might give an opportunity for some white bigots to complain of "Negro oppression," and thus prevent another Colored man from being appointed to public office. We citizens of Omaha have lost a good and honest official, while the Colored people have lost a man who was a pride not only to the local community, but to the race as a whole. AN HUMBLE TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JOHN GRANT PEGG Editor Monitor: I sincerely regret the occasion of having to write of the death of my old and trusted friend, John Grant Pegg, taken as he was from his family in the prime of life and the vigor of his manhood. I knew Mr. Pegg from the first week that he landed in Omaha to the day of his death, and to know him was to like him; in the many years of our political affiliations I had never found him disloyal to a friend or a cause, upon his word either in a political fight or a business transaction I could always rely. Like his predecessor, Parker, I assisted him in securing the position which for twelve years he so ably and creditably discharged, that of inspector of weights and measures for the city of Omaha. With the limited opportunities which he had in securing an education, Mr. Pegg displayed marked ability as a public speaker and a close reasoner. Again I sincerely regret having occasion to pay this humble tribute to so dear a friend and in this connection I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved wife and children in this the hours of their sorrow, and ocnsole them in the fact that they had a husband and a father in whom his race might well be proud and whose example they may justly emulate.

MOTHERHOOD What does the word "motherhood" mean to the average person? What is the underlying idea of the concept? Does the son, grown to manhood, associate the idea of perfect motherhood with something tender and beautiful in his own experience; or does he have an ideal of motherhood as remote as possible from that experience? Does he want his wife to be like his mother and to bring up his children as he was brought up, or is it the other way round? When a man regards his mother as an example to be avoided rather than as an exemplar to be followed, then something has been wrong with his rearing. Some one has failed in the business of being a mother, and some one else has had to suffer the consequences of the failure. Why do so many mothers fail? Is it not because they lack imagination? Because they cannot see the effect of their training on their childrn's later life? They have fixed rules to fit present circumstances. Their discipline is for today; none of it has reference to the future. If mothers had a little more vision, they would not try to govern their children to suit parental convenience, but they would let the youngsters be themselves. A mother should be able to see the man in the child, as the gardener sees the bush with its blossoms in the tiny sprout; and she should care for her children as he cares for his plants,—not trying to twist them into unnatural shapes, but providing the proper conditions for them to develop according to their nature. A child who is reared according to an inflexible rule does not develop that elasticity of mind which enables him to adjust himself to changing conditions, to develop the power to think independently and wisely. Legality is one thing; morality is something altogether different. You can force a man to obey the law by standing over him continually with a club. But we can't have a policeman for every citizen. Morality is obedience to law, not through outward compulsion, but through inward conviction. Only he who complies with the law through choice can be called moral. A child may be forced to obey a person in authority, but his compliance with a law of his elders does not necessarily improve his morals or develop his character. Not infrequently it has just the opposite effect. Fortunately sometimes, the expanding life within the child proves stronger than any external force. It is like the growing oak tree that cleaves the stone. Help your child to develop judgment rather than compel him to obey arbitrary rules. The arbitrary formulas of conduct you manufacture for him today may not help him in the least in his later relationships. When your son grows to maturity he will not be surrounded with the same conditions that made up the environment of his childhood. He will perhaps go to new places and come in contact with new people. Even if he does not leave his native town, he will have to face new conditions; for his town will change with the times. His city will not harbor the same ideas that prevailed in his youth. Men will think differently, and he will have to keep up with the procession. Are 6 you preparing him to meet the tests of life that will come to him when he is a man? Are you preparing your daughter to be a better mother than you are?—Mother's Magazine. VACATION AND DETERIORATION Thoughtful educationists are rapidly coming to believe that the average American school child gets too many days of vacation, and more especially that the summer vacation is detrimental to him mentally. Unhappily, there are altogether too many cases in which not only the intellect but the general character of the boy or girl suffers during the long vacation. Habits of industry, punctuality, and self-control, which the school constantly teaches, are likely to be weakened under the happy-go-lucky plan of living which so many families follow in summer. It is well to have some fixed rules, therefore, even in vacation time. Every boy or girl should have daily duties to perform, in order to keep up the industry habit. The boy or girl whose whole vacation is given to play, without a thought but for pleasure, is likely to deteriorate during vacation.—Mother's Magazine. Phone your news to The Monitor, Nebster 4243. BLACK TERN (Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis) Length, ten inches. In autumn occurs as a migrant on the east coast of the United States, and then is in white and gray plumage. During the breeding season it is confined to the interior, is chiefly black, and is the only dark tern occurring inland. Range: Breeds from California, Colorado, Missouri, and Ohio, north to central Canada; winters from Mexico to South America; migrant in the eastern United States. Habits and economic status: This tern, unlike most of its relatives, passes much of its life on fresh-water lakes and marshes of the interior. Its nests are placed among the tules and weeds, on floating vegetation, or on muskrat houses. It lays from two to four eggs. Its food is more varied than that of any other tern. So far as known it preys upon no food fishes, but feeds extensively upon such enemies of fish as dragonfly nymphs, fish-eating beetles, and crawfishes. Unlike most of its family, it devours a great variety of insects, many of which it catches as it flies. Dragonflies, May flies, grasshoppers, predaceous diving beetles, scarabaeid beetles, leaf beetles, gnats, and other flies are the principal kinds preyed upon. Fishes of little economic value, chiefly minnows and mummichogs, were found to compose only a little more than 19 per cent of the contents of 145 stomachs. The great consumption of insects by the black tern places it among the beneficial species worthy of protection.

ABOUT ITALY'S EARTHQUAKES "Italy is visited by an excessive number of earthquakes and volcanic disturbances because it is the newest part of the earth's surface," declared onsieur Peprett, of Paris, a French geologist of authority, in discussing the recent quake there. People, especially those living in the Western Hemisphere, look upon Europe and all of the Eastern Hemisphere in fact, as the "old world," which, takn one way, is right. But in the matter of the formation of the earth's crust, which geologists now agree is the result of the cooling of the great molten mass that makes our earth, it so happened that the section found about Italy was the last to cool, and consequently has not yet cooled to so great a depth as other portions of the world. This, then, makes Italy the newest part of the world's surface, if our geologists are correct in their estimation regarding the tardiness in the cooling of that particular section. The violin recital given at St. St. John's A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening by Miss Crazia Corneal, though not well attended on account of the hot weather, was certainly enjoyed by those who did come out. Each number on the program was well rendered and drew repeated applause. Mrs. Jesse Moss accompanied her. A recitation was given by Andrew Reed and a solo was sung by Miss Darlene Duuvall.
