HANNIBAL DEMOCRAT LEAGUE Flatters Wilson and Themselves by Assuring Him That Colored Voters Will Support Him. Washington, Sept. 8.—The Negro Educational Congress declaring itself for Hughes and Fairbanks and a small delegation of Colored men telling President Wilson that they are with him are among the most recent outstanding features in politics as it regards the race. The Educational Congress at its closing session Saturday, Aug. 26, held a lengthy debate over the acts of the present Democratic administration. Its general attitude toward the Negro since Wilson became President was strongly criticised and the party condemned for its shortsightedness regarding the race. It was pointed out that under the Wilson regime the race had lost the Haitian portfolio, consular positions, the position of Register of the Treasury and other important posts. Segregation was also scored. Hughes Endorsed. The Congress adopted the following resolution: Whereas the condition of the American Republic has been made almost intolerable in consequence of the Democratic misrule and graver than it has been in the history of the Government, and, Whereas the continuation of that party in power would threaten the existence of our most cherished institutions, and, Whereas that race progress has ever been retarded under Democratic rule, and, Whereas the splendid and patriotic record of the race in peace and war demands a fair chance. Therefore we appeal to the patriotic men and women of the race to give their united support to Hughes and Fairbanks for President and VicePresident of the United States. Not for the purpose of taking from any race of men their God-given immunities of human endeavor, but that we may at least enjoy an equal chance in the race of life under the flag of a common country. Wilson Flattered. A delegation claiming to represent the Hannibal National Negro Democratic League called on the President Monday and preesnted a long address assuring support for him and the national ticket. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., is the president and Rufus L. Perry, a Brooklyn lawyer, is the secretary. Others in the delegation were: Benjamin S.

Boston Editor Believes the Psychological Hour Has Struck for United States for Equal Rights. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER Sends Strong Message to Race Throughout the Country to Assemble in Epoch-Making Congress. Boston, Mass. This year, 1916, for Colored Americans is historically critical. It marks the accountability year of the first Southern president since freedom, and the half-century since the passage by Congress of the Civil Rights Bill and of the 14th Amendment creating their Citizenship. For some years we have been losing on rights of citizenship, in law or practice, South and North, an ominous sign. At the height of such a year what is to be the answer of Colored America, itself, what its historical record? It is not enough to vote against the perfidious Wilson. Evenso he might be re-elected. Shall the historian of tomorrow, and he will be a white man, perhaps this same Wilson, record that under a race proscription suffered not so much by any other race, 50 years after receiving citizenship, 12 million strong, this Colored race, alone of like race groups, was incapable of itself creating and maintaining organized self-defense of rights on a national basis? Religious, fraternal, charity, business organizations, local organizations for rights or national by the philanthropic aid of noble friends, are all most excellent, but do not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the formation of an Equal Rights Committee by Colored Americans in each Colored community. Have it understood that these committees are for co-operation with other organizations and all difficulty is removed. They are to prevent the charge of no self-fight or initiative, are for members of all other organisations to join, and are not to interfere. The great opportunity comes NOW. Every Colored community should form an Equal Rights Committee at once, and send a delegate to the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D. C., in one month's time by the National Equal Rights League, whose branches hold up this cause but in not enough places. Through the Congress or league these Equal Rights Committees—the very name has power—can be nationally connected. Send either a delegate or a message to the Congress. Thus without any interference with existing agencies our race can save its own historical record and by self-help and spirit retain a valid claim before mankind to Equality of Rights. Act now, Colored America. General Race News CHILDREN OF METHODIST BISHOP MADE GOOD RECORD. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 25—Mr. C. S. Smith, Jr., son of Bishop C. S. Smith who has been an instructor in mathematics at Tuskegee Institute for the past three years was granted the degree of Bachelor of Arts of Oberlin College, Oberlin, O., on the 4th inst. He will continue as a member of the faculty of Tuskegee and intends doing post graduate work at the University of Chicago. On the same date Miss Susie E. Smith, the daughter of Bishop Smith received a diploma from the Michigan State Normal College and a life certificate to teach music in the public schools of the State of Michigan. This is the fourth diploma in music which Miss Smith has received, one from Fisk University and two from the Michigan Conservatory. Immediately after graduation from the latter institution she was employed by her alma mater and served three years teaching harmony and piano. She was the only colored teacher employed in the school, and resigned her position to accept one at Clark University, Atlanta. RACE TO FIGHT DISCRIMINATION. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1.—While in Kentucky on a visit to his old home attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, was retained by the citizens of Columbus to take action against the Mobile and Ohio Railroad because of its failure to furnish suitable accommodations for the transportation of colored passengers from its main line into the town. Lawyer Vaughn states that he found the Negro passengers were compelled to ride in the motor room of an electric car, amid the grease, express and machinery, while the white people were furnished with clean, comfortable, cushioned seats. He got busy at once, with the result that the citizens engaged him to remedy the condition. WOMEN REFUSED SODAS SUE COMPANY. Springfield, Mass., Aug. 25.—Alleging that because they are not white they are refused service at the soda fountain of the stores of the S. S. Kresge Co., Miss Nanette Howe and Miss Annie West have filed suits for damages against the concern in the civil session of police court. They claimed that they called for a dish known as "banana royal" on two occasions, June 16 and 17, and that each time they were refused service for no other reason than that they are not white. SEGREGATION KILLED. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 1—In the United States Circuit Court, Judge Waddill recently granted Robert G. Griffin a temporary injunction against the city of Newport News, restraining the municipality from enforcing the race segregation ordinance. The action grows out of the recent decision of Police Justice Robinson, who gave a large number of colored people brought before him, thirty days to move out of a certain section of the city, they having been charged with violating the terms of the segregation ordinance, which prohibits colored people from living within certain areas defined in the law. ace News Rel STANE ELKS ASK COURTS TO ENJOIN NEGRO ORDER. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 1—Federal court was asked Aug. 22 to enjoin a colored organization from using the name "Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World." Suit to this end was filed by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States, which informed the court it has a membership of 34,842 in Pennsylvania and 453,516 throughout the country. It is pointed out that the "Elks of the World" have no connection whatever with the regular order. It is explained that no "race" question is involved in the suit. "Were the members of the defendant organization white persons," said the counsel for the complaints, "the suit would have been brought just the same. The issue at stake is the infringement of the name 'Elk'." Contrary to reports, the "Smart Set" company, headed by the wellknown comedians Whitney and Tutt, will positively open its season early in September. J. Martin Free is no longer connected with the "Smart Set," as T. L. Conwell, who held the helm of this enterprise for many seasons, will be back in harness as manager, while H. D. Collins, who has been identified with colored attarctions for the last twelve years, will be in advance. ONLY COLORED PARACHUTE Flora, Ind., Aug. 25.—Grant Watkins, of Indianapolis, made a balloon assension here August 14th, with the intention of making a double parachute leap. After he had risen to a height of 5,000 feet he cut loose. The parachute opened only partly and he descended with great rapidity. Fortunately, however, he struck in some telephone wires and may recover from his injuries. He received a fractured rib and has a severe puncture in the head. FIRE DESTROYS STORE. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 25,—The stock and fixtures of the Raleigh Confectionery and Grocery Co., were greatly damaged by fire, which was discovered in the store about 3 o'clock in the morning by a passerby. The fire department reached the scene in time to prevent a general conflagration; however, the stock and fixtures were damaged to the amount of about $2,-300, partly covered by insurance. Claude Whittaker, the manager, carried the largest stock of groceries of all the Negro merchants. FLOOD ROUTS FAMILIES Hannibal, Mo., Sept. 1—The heavy rain and cloudburst which struck this city and vicinity did great damage, especially to the southwestern part, which is thickly settled by members of the Race. It came unheralded about 2 o'clock in the morning. It rained continuously for fourteen hours. No lives were lost, but the property losses it is reported run well up into the thousands. Many people were rescued in boats. --- SMART SET TO OPEN Reliable South Side Merchants Reliable South Side Merchants STANEK'S PHARMACY Henry Stanek, Prop. PRESCRIPTION EXPERT Cor. 24th and L Sts.

"SCOTCHED THE SNAKE NOT KILLED IT Four labor leaders dictated the terms to Congress upon which alone their royal highnesses would consent to call off the ordered railroad strike, by which the business and social interests of the country would be seriously chippled and the populace compelled to suffer great hardship and privation. The terms dictated by this powerful oligarchy was the enactment of an eight-hour labor law, making eight hours a legal day's work for a certain class of railroad employes. The effect of the measure, if it will stand the scrutiny of the courts which is doubted, will be to give the trainmen affected ten hours' pay for eight hours' work. Of course, this additional pay must be paid by the public. Congress rushed through this hasty and ill-advised legislation. In doing so the strike has in all probability only been postponed. Our own opinion is that had the strike come, it would have been only of short duration, for hundreds of employes would have been loyal to the railroads and other men could have been found who would have taken the places of the strikers. Moreover, the strikers would have lost the sympathy of the public, without which no strike can be won, by their refusal to arbitrate. We believe that Congress would hav done much better if it had passed a compulsory arbitration law. We believe that such a measure would hold. We believe that there are serious obstacles in the way of the practical working of the eight hour law in the case of railroads. That, however, remains to be seen. But having dictated terms to the President and Congress, it is foolish to believe that the representatives of the trainmen will be content with that. They will make other demands and if these are not granted they will order another strike. The railroad situation has not been settled. We need not lull ourselves into the belief that it has. Until congressional action is taken to compel arbitration between capital and labor, strikes will be called. The hasty congressional action in passing the eight hour law has "only scotched the snake, not killed it." BRAVE SHERIFF ELY God bless brave Sheriff Ely and grant to him and his the solace to their aching hearts that He alone can give! Of course, you know the story. A degerenate, whose skin as well as his heart, was black, made a brutal attack on a young farmer's wife near Lima, Ohio. He had asked the woman for food which was refused him. He forced his way into the room, knocked her down and slashed her with a razor, nearly killing her. The victim's aged mother came on the scene and the brutal ruffian fled. The alarm was given, a posse was soon in pursuit and Sheriff Ely captured the man and placed him behind the bars. Knowing that the man's color added to the heinousness of the crime in the popular mind and that in all probability an attempt would be made to lynch him, Sheriff Ely took his prisoner for safe-keeping to the hospital for the criminal insane. The mob formed, stormed the jail and brutally beat the Sheriff, threatening to kill him unless he would deliver up the prisoner or make it known where he had been secreted. His little daughter died from the shock brought on by the brutality of the mob. Sheriff Ely was under oath for the safe-keeping of his prisoner. He bravely did his duty. The penalty he paid was heavy; but the blood of his dear child is on the head of that Ohio mob. The crime of the degenerate assailant of the young farmer's wife was brutal and henious and merited punishment which the courts are fully competent to inflict. But what shall we say of that of the blood-thirsty mob who threatened the life of the sheriff for doing his sworn duty and sought to preserve the good name of his community? What shall be said of the mob's disregard for the life of the sheriff's little sick child, or the piteous appeals of the sheriff's brave wife? Brutality? Yes, the black criminal was brutal; but what about the brutality of the white mob which murdered Sheriff Ely's little daughter and nearly murdered her father? TAG DAY. The Visiting Nurses' Association observed Tag Day on Wednesday of this week. The day was ideal and the women and girls in charge of selling the tags brought in over $4,100. We were delighted to see so many of our own people wearing tags because the Visiting Nurses do not discriminate in carrying their gentle and beneficent ministrations to Omaha's sick poor. They respond cheerfully to all calls for help irrespective of race, nationality or color. The willing and cheerful response of our people shows our desire to help on any good work in this community which is broad-minded and inclusive. SCHOOL DAYS.

And let them grow just as God intended they should grow. —Hiram Moe Greene. Love is the wind, the tide, the wave, the sunshine. Its power is incalculable; it is many horse-power. It never ceases, it never slacks; it can move with the globe without a restingplace; it can warm without fire; it can feed without meat; it can clothe without garments; it can shelter without roof, it can make a paradise within which will dispense with a paradise, without.

Randall entertained in honor of their mother, Mrs. 6 LOVE. to feel it, yet how little is actually applied to social ends. True, it is the power of all successful social machinery; but, as in physics we have made the elements do only a little drudgery for us, steam to take the place of a few horses, wind of a few oars, water of a few cranks and hand-mills; as the mechanical forces have not yet been generally applied to make the physical world answer to the ideal, so the power of love has been but meanly and sparingly applied, as yet.—Selected. REMEMBRANCE. By Eleanor C. Hull. The new can never quite efface the old, For always in our thoughts the old love clings, And always in our hearts when all is told Remembrance sings. Scenes of our busy lives may change and shift, Yet with an inner vision we descry green hills left To meet the sky. Some house that made our home through happy years, Some mother heart of love, unfailing, true, Some room that held the deepest hopes and fears Our living knew. Then grim Today may grip us, gaunt and bold, And bend us with the weight of present things— Deep in the heart of each when all is told Remembrance sings. J. H. Randall, and Mrs. Fields, Sr., of Sedalia, Mo. Covers were laid for fourteen and a three course luncheon was served. With Mrs. H. Fields, Jr., at the piano, and reading by the hostess, the evening proved a delightful one. Mrs. Randall and her small son, Cleo, returned home Saturday evening. AN OPEN LETTER. The management of the North Star Cafe, North 24th street at Erskine street, takes this means of acquainting their many friends and patrons that it was their fondest desire on opening to cater to Omaha's Colored population, giving the best of goods, attention and service and never at any time has this point of view been lost; but of late unseen difficulties have arisen and some of our patrons have been misled into believing that they were only welcome when they tipped the waitress, and this letter is written to expressly refute such an existing condition, as we pay as good wages, and even better, than most small business propositions of its kind, and want all to feel the welcome of our house whether they tip or not, as all money looks alike to us, and everybody is welcome. We must have your patronage to exist. We handle nothing but the best government inspected meats and all other things in accordance. I sincerely hope this will put us right before our many friends and patrons and hope to merit a continuance of your patronage. THE MONITOR Full Assortment of New Fali Cloaks, Suits, Dresses and Furs.
