THE MONITOR A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of the Eight Thousand Colored In Omaha and Vicinity, and to the Good of the Community Republican Nominee At Nashville, Tennessee "I Stand For the Maintenance of the Rights of All Citizens, Regardless of Race or Color." ---Charles E. Hughes. $1.50 a Year. 5c a Copy Republican No Nashvi "I Stand For the Mainten Citizens, Regardless ---Charles Nashville, Tenn.—Nearly two thousand Negroes gave Charles E. Hughes, the Republican nominee for president, an enthusiastic welcome and listened to a fifteen-minute speech by Mr. Hughes, at Hadley Park to Fisk University students and others Monday afternoon, Sept. 4, in which the speaker told his hearers that he was for a government that stood for equality in all things and for all people, irrespective of race or creed. Mr. Hughes avoided political issues, dwelling on American citizenship and lauding such great Americans as Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. Washington. He was presented with a large offering of American Beauty roses, the gift of the colored school children of Nashville. The Fisk Jubilee Singers furnished the musical program. Mr. Hughes' Address. Mr. Hughes spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Fellow Citizens: It is with the greatest pleasure that I come to this educational center. I remember as a boy listening to the melodies of the jubilee singers. It has always been my desire to see Fisk University and become better acquainted with the educational opportunities which are afforded in this favored place. As I recall the days to which I have just referred, when as a boy I listened to those distinguished makers of melody, I think of the tremendous progress that has been achieved by the colored people of this land. To me it represents an extraordinary advancement which carries with it the hope of a successful solution of many of our difficult problems. "I am told on very high authority that there are now one million colored farmers, with farm property of the value of one billion and a half dollars. I understand you have church property of the value of seventy-five millions. You are represented in the various activities of life. I believe that you have some forty thousand school teachers, some twenty thousand clergymen, some five thousand doctors, some fifteen hundred lawyers, and upwards of twenty-one thousand engaged in the real estate business. "I understand that you are conducting upwards of forty thousand places of business; that you have three hundred and fifty newspapers and other publications. Considering the conditions that existed little more than one-half century ago, I submit that it is an extraordinary record of progress which should fill with pride every American heart. It holds the promise of the future. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor Cominee At Ville, Tennessee Chance of the Rights of All Cases of Race or Color." E. Hughes. Believes in Negro Advancement lot. I want an hon lot. We desire wh particular thing to that it can be done. to do, in my humb take advantage of and when there is have to do, do it command the adm who knows about it rule that you can g for success in this looking at the m away, it is the next step. "You have schools of agriculture and of industry; opportunity for higher education. Now, in all this I most thoroughly believe. There is nothing that makes for the advancement of the colored people of this nation that I do not earnestly desire. I think that the lesson which must be learned by you, as by others, is the hard lesson of industry and perseverance in adapting yourselves to all the activities of life, and in becoming citizens of thrift and ability you become agents for the advancement in every practical direction in the communities in which you live. "We have many, many difficulties. I believe it was that great leader, Booker T. Washington, whom I had the pleasure of knowing, who said that freedom was not a bequest—it was a conquest. There is a very great truth in that statement. It means this, as I understand it, that no one can confer upon another the blessings of freedom; they have got to be won by individual qualification. We need in our homes evidences of care and industry; we need to have in every direction in which we apply our talent, efficiency. Wants An Honest Ballot "We want thrift and honesty; we want honesty with respect to the bal- lot. I want an honest and a pure ballot. We desire whenever there is a particular thing to be done, to prove that it can be done. All that you have to do, in my humble judgement, is to take advantage of each opportunity, and when there is a thing that you have to do, do it so well that you command the admiration of everyone who knows about it. That is the only rule that you can give a boy or a man for success in this world. It is not looking at the mountain top miles away, it is like looking at the next step, it is looking at the opportunity of today, it is looking at the duty of tomorrow; it is always measuring like a man and like a woman to the task of the moment that builds character, that insures respect, that wins general esteem. Black men and women can do that They are doing wonderfully in these various avenues of progress to which I have referred. They are taking advantage of educational opportunities. I want to see those opportunities extended. I want to see them practical. It is well that you have higher educational opportunities, but do not neglect the things that lie close to you in connection with the every-day necessities of life. It is the little things that count in this world; the little things that make the community. It is what the man does with the time when he is not crowded by anybody that tells the story of what he makes of himself. It is how he employs his time, the way he disciplines himself that determines what he will ultimately achieve. Men and women, we are together in a great co-operative enterprise in this land where everyon must do his part. "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all American citizens regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice." We want in this country what is right. "I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want what is right and fair. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood. "In connection with the work that I have spoken of, education—with respect to the various activities of life, I give you the best of wishes. "I have frequently said there is no color line in good work. Do good work. Be thrifty; be honest. Never let anyone have the right to doubt your word. Be diligent. Watch every opportunity to improve your mind. Do every task thoroughly. Never slight anything because someone is not looking. Be thorough, be honorable, and you will honor American citizenship."

He is survived by a widow, two sons, Guy and Clifford, one daughter, Freeda, Mrs. William Penn, all of Omaha, a stepson and other relatives.

SCHOOL AND AMUSEMENT. Another thought fellows in order after the thought that lack of recreation is responsible for the moral downfall of many girls, who seek diversion in places where parental supervision is lacking. It is this: If 48 per cent of the high school girls of Springfield, Ill., habitually attend dances, what is the effect upon their studies, and upon their health? Parents constantly complain that their daughters make poor progress in school. For this they criticize the teachers. If a girl's mind is continually centered upon the delightful memories of the late dance and the equally delightful anticipations of the dance she eagerly awaits, how can she concentrate upon her books? Calf-love affairs, or scheming to get father to buy her new dancing pumps, new silk stockings, new gloves and gowns is not conducive to study. If you are dissatisfied with the high-school, because your daughter advances slowly, find out to what extent her attention is distracted from school work by social affairs, before you put all the blame on the school. You know that Mrs. Blank's daughter ruined her health by over-study in high school. At least, this is what the family doctor called it, to curry favor with Mrs. Blank. The truth was that the girl ruined her health, not by over-study, but by trying to attend two or three parties every week. If your daughter is to be a scholar, she must not expend a lot of energy on social affairs. If she is to be a social butterfly, she will have no energy to spare for study, and, anyway, she will not need to know anything. School and amusement must balance or the result will be unsatisfactory and very likely disastrous.—Mother's Magazine. By Esther Trowbridge Catlin. Smearing the colors with lavish hand, He's painting a picture from giant- land. Where fiery dragons, that plunge and kill, Are drawn with the magic of childish skill; And all is hurry and din and flight, With his giant-folk from morn till night. Ah, child, some day you will under- stand That it's just the same in grown-up stand. For the span of life is a canvas, dear, Where we paint a picture year by year. Strange figures move through its changing scenes, Spirits of Thoughts and Deeds and Dreams; Beauty and evil both we paint And the fiery dragons that make us faint! Some day, my child, you must under- stand That it's just the same in grown-up land. KEEPING UP APPEARANCES Are you one of those foolish folk who have a pet bugaboo. "What will people say?" Nothing can handicap you more hopelessly that paying too much attention to public opinion. "Be 6 TO MY CHILD. THE MONITOR. sure you're right—and then go ahead," is a much better motto for the conduct of life. Don't let comment and criticism influence you unless it comes from people whose opinion you honestly value both because of their own worth and of their knowledge of the matter in hand. Work out your own problems logically. On the one hand you are an individual, on the other you are a member of society. With nice balance and sane adjustment conduct your life from the double viewpoint, but never let what people say make you forget that you have a few ideas of your own.—Beatrice Fairfax in Omaha Bee.

Can you answer the question? The barber will say that it is a place where people go to have their hair trimmed, or to be shaved. It is more than that. It is a business institution where men frequent through neces- sity and where they can be accommo- dated and supplied with various ar- ticles in daily use. For a long time the barber has been looked upon as a servant of the people. He feels that he is only a barber because he considers himself from the viewpoint of his patrons. The barber is an important person- age and the sooner you get the idea that you are just as important as the lawyer or the banker, the better it will be for you; only don’t be snob- bish. Don’t get to thinking that you are only a barber. You are in a class by yourself, and you ernder a service that man cannot do for him- self. If he could, he would not come near you, and there would be few barber shops. Many men shave them- selves, but they must go to a barber shop for a hair cut. Many men are afraid to shave themselves, as they cannot do it properly, so they come to you. They do not patronize you for love. There is not so much brotherly affection in the world, where a person, if he can do a thing himselt, will not pay to have another do it for him. Of course, there are men who can do certain things themselves, but because they have money they prefer to employ others. A man can not cut his own hair, and when you de it, you are rendering him as big a favor as he thinks he is doing you. Treat every customer in a courteous manner, because, from a business standpoint, you are giving a service which is distinetly individual and which cannot be done by any man himself. You are more important to your community than a banker. People can get along without bankers, but they must visit the barbers. Don’t get “down in the dumps” because you hear some people say “he is only a barber.” Throw out your chest. Look important; look prosperous and you will become porsperous, Wear a smile equal to any two of “Sunny Jim’s.” Don’t. let your wishbone get where your backbone ought to be. You are the equal of the biggest man in town. Feel that way about it. Treat yourself right and get your share. ©. <e Sttens RATES—1% cents a word for single insertions, 1 cent a word for two or more insertions. No advertisement for less than 15¢e.

A man who is on his job and expects to continue on the job, ought to feel that he is doing something worth while for the community that appreciates it and gives him a fair chance to lead a happy and a decent life for himself and family. A. A. Foster, of Chicago, is on the O. W. Limited from Omaha to Portland and is making good. Frank Rogers has resigned from the U. P. R. R. and is at the Omaha Club. William Robertson is at home again on the U. P. from Omaha to Los Angeles, Cal. Lewis King says the run from Omaha to Salt Lake is up to the minute. Lewis belongs to the "old school." Our well known pantryman, A. B. Webster, is in Chicago visiting his son. Car 363 misses him very much. AMUSE Best Movies ALWAYS AT The Franklin 24th and Franklin Streets TAXI—C.
