He worked as waiter at the various hotels and clubs of this city until 1914, when he took the state bar examination at Lincoln. Since that time he has built up a good practice.

Va.—After eighty years in the service of one family, Mrs. Ellen Washington Brown died August 10, at the age of 92 years. Mrs. Brown was a slave in the Baker family and remained with them after emancipation. She died in her home on the estate of Mrs. Lois Baker Musgrave. She was cared for by Mrs. Musgrave. lored People Vol. II. No. 10 (Whole No. 62) American Mobs Murder Eight Persons Urgent Need For Pushing Propaganda Against Brutal Lynchings of Accused Members of Race. OMAHA SHOULD GIVE TO FUND Individuals, Churches, Lodges, Societies Are Asked to Contribute. Bush Heads Fund. Within the past ten days eight members of our race have been murdered by American mobs. Five of this number, two of whom were women, were accused of aiding a man by the name of Long, charged with shooting a constable, to escape. Subsequent investigation proved that the accused knew nothing of Long or his whereabouts, and were absolutely innocent of any wrong-doing save the atrocious crime" of being Negroes. Six of these murders were in Florida, one in Texas, and the other in Georgia. Two Murdered Weekly. Before this article is in print it is quite possible, nay probable, that the number of mob-murdered victims will be increased, for during the last thirty years, or since 1885, the United States has witnessed with apparent indifference the murder of nearly two Colored Americans a week, or, to be exact, an average of 95 every year. This is according to the actual record. It is safe to believe that all the cases are not on record. But this is the record from 1885 to 1916, a total of 2,851, or 95 a year. The Waco Horror. In a supplement to the July Crisis, the gruesome story of "The Waco Horror," the burning of a sixteen-year-old boy by the name of Alexander in the presence of a mob of 15,000, was told with startling vividness, and depicted scenes of savagery unmatched by anything save snarling tigers and screeching hyenas in African jungles. Raise Anti-Lynching Fund. Moved by the horrors of that mob-murder, only a sample of hundreds of others which have disgraced this land, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People determined to raise a $10,000.00 Anti-Lynching Fund, to be used for the suppression of these mob-murders of which members of our race are unfortunately so largely the victims. Two gifts of $1,000 each, contingent upon raising the whole have been given by two philanthropic white men, Philip I. Peabody and Moorfield Story, of Boston. This fund has reached over 37,000. By September 15, the remaining $3,000 must be raised. Mr. S. L. Bush called us up Sunday and said: "I think the Colored people of Omaha ought to give to that Anti-Lynching Fund. If you will take charge of it, I'll bring you $2.00 to start the fund." (Continued on Page 3) THE MONITOR 2 NEBRASKA PROSPERITY LEAGUE Does Prohibition Save the Boy?

J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas penitentiary, lays the blame on "The Little Alley Joints" that exist all over Kansas, where, he says, men and boys congregate night after night to play poker, shoot craps, and indulge in debauchery. [See the warden's report on page 43 of the Proceedings of the Kansas Conference of Charities and Corrections, held at Lawrence, Kansas, November, 1915.] Judge Roy T. Osborne, of Independence, Kansas On page 13 of the same report, says: "In the little more than ten years the juvenile court has been established in Kansas, children under sixteen years of age, in this state, have committed practically every crime in the calendar, including murder in the first degree. * * * It is astounding to observe the absolute indifference of many parents to the moral welfare of their offspring. * * * In nearly every community there are places and forms of amusement unwholesome for children." * * * M. G. McKenzie, Chaplain of the Reformatory in Kansas Says on page 59 of the First Biennial Report, Kansas State Board of Corrections: "Of these boys, 202 acknowledged they drank more or less; 275 used tobacco, 77 gambled. Most of these boys ran around considerable, and were away from home, when they got into trouble; 265 were from homes broken by death or divorce." * * * THE ALLEY JOINT in Kansas is the corrupting influence that lands so many Kansas boys in the Reformatory and Industrial School.

THE IMPENDING RAIL-ROAD STRIKE education and pleasing personal and bears a good reputation. He Unless the order is rescinded or means are found to prevent it, Monday morning will find the railroads of the country tied up by a strike. If the strike be continued for any considerable length of time it will mean serious inconvenience, privation and suffering to the great American public, whose rights are primarily to be considered. Right this time is on the side of the railroad officials rather than upon that of the labor organizations which have ordered the strike. The officials are willing to submit the case to a board of arbitration and to abide by the decision of that board; the representatives of the labor organizations refuse to submit the issues in the case to arbitration, but imperiously insist that their demands, which may or may not be just, be at once complied with. The public, we are quite sure, will not sustain them in this position and without the sympathy and good will of the public the strike will fail. If their demands be just, the trainmen have nothing to lose and everything to gain by arbitration. Their stubborn refusal to submit to arbitration places the trainmen in a most unfavorable light before the public and throws the balance in favor of the railroad heads. Railroads and other corporations have their rights and limitations as well as individuals and it is for them to say if the sudden increase of their operating expenses by hundreds of millions of dollars will or will not seriously embarrass them. If, as the railroads contend, they are willing to submit the case to an impartial board and abide by that board's decision the representatives of the trainmen should be willing to meet them half way. In the event that the strike comes, then the President by the right of eminent domain with which his office clothes him, should see to it that the public does not suffer through the stubbornness and selfishness of the two contending parties. There is no need for this strike; and certainly not until arbitration has at least been tried. THE APPOINTMENT PLEASES We are very much pleased with Mayor Dahlman's appointment of Amos P. Scruggs as inspector of weights and measures and his prompt and unanimous confirmation by the city commissioners. We believe that the appointment is one that leaves no room for criticism, but upon the contrary is one upon which the administration, the business public and the race should be congratulated. Mr. Scruggs is a young man of good --- ONITOR and to the civic, social and religious Omaha and vicinity, with the desire general good and upbuilding of the Matter July 2, 1915, at the Post-act of March 3, 1879.

He is gentlemanly and courteous, and, in our judgment, has both the tact and ability to handle the office most satisfactorily. He is a home-owner and tax-payer, and as such is identified with and contributing to the prosperity and development of the city. All of these are points in his favor. The Monitor sincerely congratulates Mr. Scruggs upon his selection and desires publicly to commend and thank Mayor Dahlman for the excellent choice we believe him to have made from among so many applicants. FORCE AND MORAL SUASION. In dealing with people of mature judgment, we believe that one can accomplish more in bringing about reform along any line by moral suasion than by using force. Force may restrain, but it never really permanently subdues or wins. It is only by winning over one's judgment and affection by an earnest appeal to the better nature within every man that permanent reform or good can be accomplished. Here is where legislative programs so frequently fail. Force is at times necessary; but at best its results are only temporary. Moral suasion requires patience, pluck, persistency and perseverance, but in the end it wins. It does not merely restrain; it constrains. STEPS IN WILSON'S CAREER One of our exchanges summanizing the steps in President Wilson's remarkable career notes as the last eight steps the following: "Nominated for president of the United States July 2, 1912. Elected November, 1912. Inaugurated March 4, 1913. Began watchful waiting in Mexico, 1913. Continued watchful waiting, 1914. Still watchfully waiting, 1915. Waiting watchfully, 1916. Renominated St. Louis, 1916. This is almost as good as the "New Wilson Five-step;" executed thus: one step forward, one step backward, hesitate, side-step, salute—nit. A CLEAN NEWSPAPER. We are in receipt of The Monitor, a weekly newspaper devoted to the interest of the eight thousand colored people in Omaha and vicinity, and to the good of the community. The Monitor is exactly the size of The Oak Leaf with double the number of pages. A nice, clean sheet with good quality of reading matter, and is a credit to its editor and the race it represents. Here is our hand, brother. The Oak Leaf, Baton Rogue, La. We sincerely thank our contemporary for its kind words. --- THE MONITOR Although the officials of the Union Pacific railroad presumably know their business, there is certainly room for argument as to their wisdom in supplanting the colored "red caps" at the Union Depot with Japanese boys. The colored men who are thus ousted from their jobs are Omaha citizens and voters, and most of them property owners of one sort or another. The Japanese "red caps" were brought in by the Union Pacific solely to be "red caps" and are aliens in every sense. Whatever the motive of the Union Pacific may be—this company being the heart and soul of the Union Depot company—in our opinion the positions mentioned certainly should lie between Omaha and Nebraska citizens, of whatever color. An explanation of some sort would seem to be in order.—The World-Herald. Aug. 31st. While the World-Herald is in error as to the displacement of the "red caps," the position taken in this editorial is sound. It is the JANITORS on the night shift who have been displaced by the Japanese, and not the "red caps." But these colored janitors are citizens, voters and tax-payers. They are not aliens but loyal Americans. In these perilous times it would seem to be the part of wisdom to give preference in the matter of employment to American citizens. There is no excuse for substituting Japanese for colored labor. If the work of these particular janitors were unsatisfactory it would be an easy matter to find others who would be satisfactory.

You mothers know that wealth, good looks, social position, and similar qualities are not all; that in fact they weigh lightly in the final judgment of a man's qualifications as a husband. Of course, it is very nice to have money and position; but they do not guarantee happiness. The man who is very rich, or very good-looking, or very talented is quite likely to possess disadvantages that will more than offset his brilliancy, his wealth and his social standing. The girl who is herself highly educated is seldom happy with a brilliant husband. The girl who is constantly measuring the money and mansions of her family against those of her husband is quite likely to be unhappy. The vast majority of girls—those who possess no special distinctions or advantages, are a good deal better off to marry men who cannot boast too many of what are commonly mistaken for the more valuable attributes of eligibility as husbands. Those qualities that are most taxed by marriage are not the social brilliancy, the intellectual gifts, the big bank account. They are qualities that must stand the everyday strain. A good disposition is better than great riches, and a sense of humor would have prevented many divorces that have been obtained from husbands of splendid intellect and large financial resources. Be wise, mothers. The marriage of ambition is handicapped from the first. You know the truth. Everyday wives need everyday husbands. Mother's Magazine.

Lead gently, Lord, and slow, For oh! my steps are weak, And ever as I go And ever as I go, Some soothing sentence speak. That I may turn my face Through doubt's obscurity Towards Thine abiding-place, E'en tho' I cannot see. For lo, the way is dark; Through mists and clouds I grope, Save for that fitful spark, The little flame of hope. It is often remarked that the father has been much less praised than the mother in song and story, but this is only superficially true. In Shakespeare and the Bible the father receives his full meed of honor. From these great storehouses of literature, we may frame our highest ideals of the relation between father and child. Through human fatherhood, the Divine Lord is most clearly made manifest in the world of men. When Hebrew theology and pagan philosophy had exhausted themselves in describing the Infinite in finite terms, the Son of Man came forth to teach us to call him by the dear human name of Father.—Ex.

Of the $10,000 Anti-Lynching Fund which we started out to raise before August 1 as a practical answer to the lynching of Jesse Washington at Waco, Tex., $7,260.98 in cash and pledges payable before August 15, are in hand as we go to press. The re- sponse has been splendid. Many strong white friends who never be- fore have shown themselves inter- ested in the fight of the Negro for his own salvation, have contributed generously to this fund, but the best part of it is that Colored men and women have shown themselves so ready to assume their full share of the load. Yet it is not enough by $3,000. Can you afford to let it fail? MR. PEABODY GRANTS AN EXTENSION OF TIME Believing that the Colored people of America will more than subscribe the $3,000 if the word can only be gotten to them, we asked Mr. Pea- body to grant an extension of time on he basis of the response already made. Here is his reply: Boston, Mass., August 5, 1916. My Dear Mr. Nash: On my arrival here from a short absence in Russia I learn, with sur prise and great pleasure, of the gen- erous response made to the proposi- tion to raise ten thousand dollars. am especially glad that our Col- ored brothers see the importance of the matter and are moving actively in it. ‘ ‘ With great pleasure I consent to extend the time from July 31 to Sep- tember 15. You have accomplished a remarkable work and I congratu- late you on it. I now believe that you will succeed in raising the en- tire amount. Yours very truly, Philip G. Peabody. Crisis.
