THE MONITOR A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of the Eight Thousand Colored People in Omaha and Vicinity, and to the Good of the Community The Rev. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor $1.50 a Year. 5c a Copy. Omaha, Nebraska, August 19, 1916 Vol. II. No. 8 (W) Monrovia Capital Liberian Republic Buildings Chiefly Brick, Zinc and Concrete to Withstand the Severe Climatic Conditions. WHITES CANNOT OWN LAND Guy B. Robbins Continues Some of His Interesting Articles on Liberia and Her People. Monrovia is the capital and the largest city in the Republic of Liberia. It is situated on a cape of which the ocean and river almost make an island. The cape is of rock formation. It is quite high at the point, where a light house and an old fortress are located, and gradually slopes back to a plain. The town could be divided into two parts: First, the waterside, so named because it is on low ground at the water's edge. Then the residence portion which lays high and sightly. On the waterside are situated the wharves, customs house, general stores, and a public market house. There is but one street in this section and this is a narrow, winding, unkept path. During rainy weather this is partly covered with water which draws off of the higher ground on its way to the river. At this time many of the people wear rubber boots for protection. The natives don't, or course, because they always go barefoot the year around. The stores in this part of the city handle general merchandise which they keep to exchange with the natives for African products. The natives buy large quantities of leaf tobacco, gin, gay-colored cloth, iron, pots, matches, etc. For these they exchange palm oil and kernels, coffee, ivory, piassara fiber, etc. This fiber was used extensively in America for street brooms before wire took its place. Buildings of Brick and Zinc. The buildings on the waterside are built of brick and zinc. Zinc buildings are made with wood frames and covered with sheets of zinc which resemble corrugated iron. It has a longer life than iron because it will not corrode in the moist atmosphere as iron would. I have seen iron and steel eaten up by the climate alone. The general appearance of the waterside gives a newcomer a very unfavorable impression. This, however, will improve when he gets to the top of the steep hill where the residence portion begins. Residence Streets Wide. In this part of the city the streets are laid out straight and wide. The houses are of the same materials as are the buildings on the waterside; except the newer ones are built of concrete. They all have large piazas. People in the tropics live as much on the piazzas as they do in the house.

To a committee of our citizens who waited upon Mayor Dahlman Tuesday afternoon with respect to filling the vacancy of John Grant Pegg, inspector of weights and measures, his honor said: "I have not decided upon the man, but I intend to appoint a Colored man to the position. It is the only position of any prominence that your people have. It is the head of a department. It has been well handled. I believe your people are entitled to this recognition.

A delegation, headed by Captain H. H. Blunt, of this city, visited him Wednesday, August 9, at the Hotel Astor. The delegation was composed of W. Monroe Trotter, the Boston editor; J. C. Robinson, who is connected with a local weekly; Isaiah T. Montgomery and Eugene P. Booze, of Mound Bayou, Miss.; M. H. Broyles, of Houston, Texas, and George L. Knox, representing the Hughes and Fairbanks Non-Partisan and Political League. Chairman Blunt, on behalf of the delegation, told Mr. Hughes that the time was ripe for the election of a Republican president and scored some of the Wilson policies. Mr. Hughes,replying,said he was a believer in equal rights and opportunities for all classes of citizens and cited his Suprème Court decisions regarding his fairness on the race question. MAJOR LOVING AND BRIDE PASS THROUGH OMAHA Last Friday night Major Walter H. Loving, who gained international fame as the musical director of the Filipino band, and his bride, passed through Omaha on the Overland Limited en route to the East on their wedding trip. Major and Mrs. Loving, who Omaha friends will remember, as Edith McCary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. McCary, who were residents of Omaha a few years ago, were married at Alameda, Cal., Wednesday, August 9th. Mrs. John Alert Williams, who had been notified by wire, met them at the train. It possible that Major and Mrs. Loving will plan to visit Omaha friends on their westward trip in the autumn. --- Is to Be d By the Race We Are Entitled to This Mayor James nlman. man of some education and ability to study and master the details of the work and with good sense and judgment enough to get on with the public. I intend to appoint such a man." The committee interviewed the Mayor in the interests of no particular applicant, their desire being simply to urge the retention of this position for the race. The committee consisted of Drs. J. H. Hutten and L. E. Britt, M. F. Singleton, J. H. Broomfield and the Rev. John Albert Williams. PROMINENT PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER AN OMAHA VISITOR Field Agent of Biddle University Guest of Dr. J. H. Hutten. The Rev. L. B. Ellerson, D.D., representing the Board of Freedmen of the Presbyterian Church and Field Secretary of Biddle University of Charlotte, N. C., arrived in the city last week for a visit to his friend and classmate, Dr. J. H. Hutten, of 1105 North Nineteenth street. Dr. Ellerson, who is at present engaged in the work of raising a Semi-Centennial Endowment Fund of $150,000 for Biddle University, which was founded in 1867 and will therefore be fifty years old next year, being at Minneapolis and having a week's vacation, decided to spend it in Omaha. He will return to Minneapolis Friday to resume his work, from which point he will return east. Bidle University has about 1,800 alumni. Of this number over 1,000 have graduated from the academic department, 500 fro the college and 300 from the theological department. The alumni as well as friends are contributing to the Endowment Fund and Dr. Ellerson feels ocnfident that the amount sought will be raised. TWO MEN TIED FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE Muskogee, Okla., August 18. Frank McFee, white, and Ed Jefferson, Colored, are tied in their race for the nomination on the Democratic ticket for the office of justice of the peace of Agency township. Each received twenty-four votes in the primary eletcion. Both men conducted warm campaigns and it was the even division of the two raecs among the voters of the township that caused the tie, as every Colored voter cast his vote for Jefferson. Vol. II. No. 8 (Whole National Negro Business League Holds Annual Session. ..Reports Reveal Commendable Progress In Business World. MANY HONOR WASHINGTON Emmett J. Scott Prominently Mentioned For President, Delivers Memorial Address. (By a Staff Correspondent.) Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 18.—With energetic enthusiasm characteristic of the west this progressive city prepared well for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League and affiliated organizations. And these organizations are here. Hundreds of delegates and visitors keen and alert, have temporarily augmented Kansas City's Colored population. Badges flutter on hundreds of breasts. The National Negro Business league which was organized by Booker T. Washington and held its first session in Boston in 1900, opened its convention Wednesday morning in Electric Park. In connection with the Business League, the Negro Press Association, the National Negro Bar Association and the National Negro Funeral Directors also are holding their annual meeting, and in Kansas City, Kas., is being held the National Association of Railway Postal Clerks. Interesting Speeches. Fortune J. Weaver, president of the local business league, in calling the league to order, declared that much good had been done through the league, because it had inspired the members of the race to get better homes, go into business and make places for the Negro boys and girls who are coming out of school and are barred by prejudice from business and industrial opportunities. The Rev. Dr. D. A. Holmes, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, made the opening prayer. Acting Mayor Albert I. Beach gave an address of welcome, commended the race upon the progress made during the last fifty years. Other addresses of welcome were delivered by B. Watkins, for the secret societies; J. Dallas Bowser, for the educational institutions; W. C. Houston, for the professional men, and Mrs. Ida M. Becks, for the citizens. The gavel was then given to Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss., first vice president. He presented attorney P. W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss., president of the National Negro Bar Association, to respond to the addresses of welcome, and Harry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the National Negro Press Association. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the league, read a list of committees appointed. General Race News 2 FRIEND OF EX-SLAVES DIES AT NINETY-TWO Cedar Rapids, Ia., Aug. 18.—Miss Esther Douglas, whose quiet gracious life full of good deeds for others, a benediction to thousands who called her their little friend, passed away Tuesday, August 8, at 7 o'clock at the Home for Aged Women. Death came peacefully at the age of ninety-two years. Much of her life was spent as a teacher and she chose to be a missionary to the Negroes of the south. It was chiefly in the Carolinas where she labored for the uplift of the race. In later years many of her former pupils journeyed to Cedar Rapids to visit her. For Thirty Years a Missionary. Miss Douglas was a young woman when she began to teach the Negroes. She began her work a year before the Civil War closed and continued as a missionary among them for many years or until her health failed. Then she came north. For fourteen years, nine months and eight days she had been a resident of the Home for Aged Women. She was born in Hanover, Mass., 92 years ago June 12 last. EATS 7 WATERMELONS AT ONE SITTING El Cantro, Cal., Aug. 18.—Financially embarrassed and ravenously hungry, John Anderson walked 125 miles from San Diego here in search of work. When he spied a watermelon patch at the end of his hike, he lost no time in eating seven watermelons immediately, and then living off melons for several days. He was picked up on the highway in great pain, and when taken to the hospital had to have an operation performed. Two quarts of melon seeds which were causing the difficulty were removed from Anderson's stomach. He explained to the physician that he was too hungry to bother with eliminating the seeds. COLORED SOLDIERS ENTER A RIGID PROTEST San Francisco, Cal., August 18. Thirteen Colored soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry of Hawaii, U. S. A., have protested to the war department for alleged mistreatment on the part of officials of the Pullman company because they were forcibly removed from a Pullman car at West Berkeley and relegated to a car where, they claimed, there were "accommodations unfit for American soldiers." Under the leadership of Sergeant Fred Washington, the men left the train at Berkeley and returned by street car to Oakland where they framed their protest. ONLY RACE MEN ALLOWED NEAR DEUTSCHLAND Baltimore, Md., August 18.—No white man was permitted to get within hailing distance of the submarine merchant freighter Deutschland while she laid at the pier in Spring Garden. The captain would employ none but Colored men, and these, we were informed, had to take a solemn oath which enjoined them to secrecy. They were well paid for the services performed. THE MONITOR Washington, D. C., August 18. To help Colored boys become practical farmers and to assist Colored girls in becoming competent housewives, the U. S. Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the state colleges is organizing throughout the south Farm Makers' Clubs for rural children. This activity is thoroughly organized in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Mississippi. The chief object of these clubs is to encourage Colored farmers, particularly in the cotton sections, to raise some food instead of devoting their entire attention to a single crop. According to reports, the county superintendents of schools and teachees of elementary schools are supporting the work actively, and state agricultural colleges and the technical schools established for the race are active co-operators in the larger phases of the work. REFUSED PERMISSION TO GO TO PLATTSBURG CAMP St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 18.—When a Negro youth named Mills, a Sumner high school graduate, asked to be enrolled in the St. Louis contingent to the fourth Plattsburg military training encampment, B. H. Bratney, who, in the absence of F. O. Ludlow, now at Plattsburg, is acting enrollment secretary for St. Louis, did not know what to do. Bratney appealed to the officer in charge of the Military Training Camp at Governor's Island, New York, and received a telegram saying that while there is no color line in the army, there is one at Plattsburg and that the applicant cannot accompany the St. Louis contingent. RACE MEN INSTITUTE CAMPAIGN FOR HEALTH Memphis, Tenn., August 18.—A campaign of health education for the race was started Saturday by Rev. Sydney Scott, who arranged for a chautauqua to be held under a tent at Mississippi boulevard and Wicks avenue. Rev. Mr Scott presented his credentials to the city board of health, and his plans to aid in teaching the benefits derived from antitoxin to combat the typhoid fever have been approved. Many attended the lectures REGIMENT TO BE FORMED AT PITTSBURG Pittsburg, Pa., August 18.—Preliminary steps have been taken to organize the First Colored Infantry Regiment of Pittsburg. A recruiting office will be opened at 212 Fourth avenue. Alfred H. McClelland has been chosen colonel of the organization, and a full staff of officers has been selected. July 26 was the birthday of the little republic of Liberia. Although the first colony of slaves from America went out to West Africa in 1820, it was not until 1847 that the Independence from the U. S. was declared. Liberia has a population of over 2,000,000. BOYS' AND GIRLS' BIRTHDAY OF REPUBLIC AMONG RAIL ROAD MEN BUFFET PORTERS GET RAISE By J. William Shields.

Having returned from my vacation, this letter will appear every week, trusting that the boys will continue their appreciation of the same as in the past.

PLACE TO BE RETAINED The assurance made by Mayor Dahlman that the position of inspector of weights and measures shall be retained by some representative of our people will be welcome news not only to members of our race, but to all liberal-minded white citizens who believe in a square deal. This position is the only political appointment any prominence whatsoever which has been given to our race in this city. Mayor Cushing, a democrat, appointed A. W. Parker to this office. He filled it with absolute satisfaction to all concerned and was reappointed by Mayor Broatch. The experiment having proven satisfactory the succeeding mayors, George P. Bemis, Frank E. Moores and James C. Dahlmen, namely, G. F. Franklin, A. W. White, John W. Long, Thomas P. Mahammitt and John G. Pegg. All these incumbents of this office have given satisfaction. This being true, and our people as relatively heavy taxpayers, law-abiding citizens and voters being entitled, not by sufferance but by right, to some just political recognition should have at the very least an appointment of this class. It has been recognized by custom and proven by experience that here is one representative political appointment which a member of the race can fill with satisfaction without friction. Wisdom and justice call for its retention and we are pleased to be informed by Mayor Dahlman himself that he takes this view of it. We are not concerned with any particular applicant for the position. We only desire to see some intelligent, self-respecting, gentlemanly member of the race appointed who has the ability, tact and efficiency to discharge the duties of this position with satisfaction to the business public and with credit to the administration, to himself and to the race of which he is the representative. Among the race in Omaha such men are to be found. We note with pleasure the fact that this one appointment is to be retained for our people. We indulge the belief that the Mayor will find a competent man for the place. "TRYING TO DO SOMETHING" We take great pleasure in the almost pathetic examples that we note daily of our people "trying to do something" in a business way. It may be a little hand laundry, a euphuism for old-fashioned washing and ironing; or a little lunch counter, which, by the way, seems to be in great favor hereabouts, or some other humble undertaking. But these efforts at "trying to do something" are indicies of the right spirit. It is from --- 4 Matter July 2, 1915, at the Post-act of March 3, 1879. WILLIAMS, Editor and Publisher.

True, we have in growing numbers most creditable business enterprises among us, but they have all been the outgrowth of the spirit manifested in these humbler efforts at "trying to do something." Keep at it. Don't give up. A people who have the courage and the determination to keep on 'trying to do something" will succeed. OUR IMPRESSION OF HUGHES We had the pleasure of hearing Charles E. Hughes in St. Paul last week. He is a pleasant, forceful and logical speaker brightening his arguments with flashes of rare wit. He impresses one as being a very frank and sincere man. Our clerical companion, who was not an over-enthusiastic Hughes' admirer, said to us: "He impresses me as being a broad-visioned statesman and not a politician. I confess I like him." St. Paul's immense auditorium which it is claimed seats ten thousand people, was crowded. The candidate's speech aroused great enthusiasm, and if his reception in the Twin Cities can be taken as a fair augury, when votes are counted in November Hughes will have a bumper crop of votes. One of the greatest forces in the world is kindness. Few can resist its power and influence. Cultivate kindness. Try to forget the harsh things that people say and do. As a matter of fact, when one has been guilty of any meanness or unkindness when he comes to his better self, he is ashamed of it, even though he may lack the moral courage to acknowledge it or to strive to make amends. But never mind the other fellow, see to it that you strive to do the right thing yourself. And one of the strongest influences in helping one do the right thing by his fellow men is the cultivation of a kindly spirit and the exercise of kindness.. There is a vast deal of talk about "the protection of American citizens at home and abroad;" but there is a class of American citizens who are not protected at home and they are Colored Americans. Talk is cheap. It is well for Americans to recall the deserved rebuke of Tristam Bey, who said that it illy became the United States to prate about Turkish barbarities so long as Negro-baiting and lynching was a favorite pastime in this enlightened and Christian country. A new segregation stunt has been pulled off in the Army and Navy Departments in Washington by the present administration and yet they won- THE MONITOR KINDNESS der why self-respecting Colored men who would like to divide on great public questions cannot vote for democrats for the presidency or for the senate or for the house.

BY WILLIAM G. HAYNES. VALUE OF BIRDS It's almost a miracle that we have any apples at all, for there are 176 different varities of insects which attack apple trees and are capable of making them fruitless. To fight this horde of pests the apple-producing sections spend as much as $3,000,000 a year for spraying trees. Scientists now say, however, that it would be much better if fruit growers spent less money in covering their trees with poison and did more to encourage birds to make their homes in the orchard. Birds devour almost every kind of insect which threatens fruit, and enough birds will accomplish wonders in freeing orchards from this danger. Farmers often object to birds, because they eat so much fruit. There are, however, numerous ways in which the amount of fruit birds destroy can be made trivial compared with the number of insects they eat. Robbins, for instance, are extremely fond of cherries. But they will leave the cherry trees quite neglected if one or two trees of Russian mulberries, which ripen at the same time as cherries, are placed within reach. Other things which will retain the robin's useful services as a forager without any serious loss of valuable fruit are chokeberry, holly elder, sour gum, shade-berries, wild cherries, wild grapes, green brier and smilax. The planting of some such trees and shrubs in the vicinity of orchards serves a double purpose. It furnishes food for the birds and makes them more inclined to make their homes in the orchards. One reason why birds often avoid orchards is because the shrubbery has been so cut away that they can find no suitable nesting places. GREAT WESTERN CIRCUIT RACE MEET HERE The first of the Great Western Circuit meeting ever held in Nebraska will be held here August 22-26. It will no doubt be one of the best meets ever witnessed in this state. Several of the big eastern stables will be here, $125,000.00 in prizes will be awarded. Mrs. Howard Livingston returned Thursday from Columbia, Mo., where she went as a delegate to the Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and S. M. T.'s.

M. E. Church. More than 400 women engaged in various kinds of uplift work, and representing many states, gathered here for the biennial exchanging of views and for planning civic and moral uplift along broader lines. Pageant Presented. Over a thousand people journeyed to Oriole Park in the afternoon where a pageant entitled "The Vindication of Negro Womanhood" was presented. It was written by Miss Margaret Williams and directed by Lewis H. Murray. May Purchase Douglass Home. The association, following a very lengthy discussion, voted to purchase the home of the late Frederick Douglass at Anacostia, D. C., the same to be national headquarters for the women. Booker T. Washington was one of those foremost in the movements to secure funds for the purchasing of the home of the anti-slavery orator as a memorial to his efforts. Attack Saloon. Strong pleas for interest in the fight against the saloon were made by a number of speakers. Mrs. A. L. Moorer, of Orangeburg, S. C., opened the discussion and told of the evils and ravages of the liquor traffic. Mrs. Talbert Elected. The credentials committee reported that 389 persons were entitled to vote. Interest centered chiefly in the election of a president, Mrs. Washington being ineligible, having served four years. Mrs. Mary Talbert, of Buffalo, N. Y., was declared unanimously elected on the second ballot amid great applause. The next meeting place will be Denver, Col. PROBATE NOTICE In the matter of the estate of John Grant Pegg, deceased.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 17.—The home of Benjamin Williams a Pullman porter, at 2914 Woodland avenue, was dynamited for a second time within six weeks, Wednesday morning. So-called vigilantes, who have repeatedly warned Williams to move from the locality, are responsible for this outrage. Since the house was dynamited on July 9 the police have kept three officers on watch there every night until Tusday night, when an urgent call necessitated the removal of A. E. O'Hare and E. R. Niles( detectives, to another residence where surveillance was needed. This left Walter Hutton, another officer, in charge and about midnight Hutton says he left to get a lunch at Eighteenth street and Broadway, a considerable distance away, and shortly after his departure a motor car whizzed by and one of its occupants threw a stick of dynamite or a bomb of some sort at the house. The explosion tore out a day window on the south side of the house and upended the flooring in the house without injuring the occupants. Since the first explosion Mrs. Williams and Myers have been taking turns sitting up with a Winchester rifle waiting for a reappearance of the "vigilantes," but both were tired on Tuesday night and went to bed, leaving the watching to the officers. Mrs. Williams went to sleep in the rear of the house and Myers was sleeping near the bay window on a cot. The explosion lifted his cot high in the air, but he escaped with a few bruises. The explosion was violent, nearly every joint in the house being broken. Potted plants were blown outdoors and the police say they cannot account for the escape of the occupants of the house without serious injury or death. MONROVIA CAPITOL LIBERIAN REPUBLIC (Continued From First Page) older houses resemble that of thu "big" houses on our southern plantations. The first settlers being from that part of our country, took many of the styles and customs with them. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE (Continued from first page.) Several delegates told how they had started with meagre capital and by pluck, patience and persistence had built up well-paying businesses. Several thousand filled convention hall Wednesday night for the Washington Memorial service. The principal address was delivered by Emmett J. Scott. Short addresses were delivered by J. C. Napier, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Charles Banks and Roscoe C. Simmons. Parade Two Miles Long. The parade Thursday afternoon was an inspiring sight and elicited praise from all sides. Besides civic and fraternal organizations more than a hundred automobiles were in line. It is estimated that the parade was two miles long. A strong sentiment favors Emmett J. Scott for president. Phone your news to The Monitor. We are always glad to talk to you. Webster 4243. THE MONITOR OMAHA OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL ADVANTAGES FOR LAND BANK Efforts to locate a land bank in Omaha have been started through a Business Men's Organization, which includes every interest in the city. The act creating the land bank stipulates these banks shall be located with respect to the farm loan needs of the community. Under this stipulation, Omaha is an unusually timely and convenient location for one of these banks, of which there are to be twelve. With more than $60,000,000 in farm loans in Nebraska, Omaha offers a particularly fertile location for a land bank. NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION ENDORSES HUGHES Kansas City Mo., Aug. 18.
