Where the policy has been adopted, HOW HAS IT AFFECTED MY RACE? Jim-Crow laws, disfranchisement and social proscription, are mere details against the terrible conditions the race has suffered since the South has adopted prohibition. The South claimed that it adopted prohibition to lessen Negro crime, yet seven-eighths of the prisoners in the penitentiaries of the South today are serving time for trivial offenses with which liquor had nothing to do. In Georgia recently a twelve-year-old boy was sentenced to serve ten years in prison for stealing a nickle. There are hundreds more such cases. It is a fact not to be controverted, that NEVER SINCE THE CRIME OF SLAVERY HAS ANY POLICY BEEN ADOPTED WHICH HAS WROUGHT SO MANY ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INJUSTICES UPON THE NEGRO RACE AS THE POLICY OF PROHIBITION. LIQUOR IS N THE CAUSE LIOUOR IS NOT THE CAUSE The South claimed that it adopted prohibition to lessen crime against the Negro, YET MORE LYNCHINGS HAVE OCCURRED IN THE SOUTH SINCE THE ADOPTION OF PROHIBITION THAN IN ALL THE TWENTY YEARS PRECEDING! by the hundreds to give place to white laborers. This was not because of prejudice, but because white contractors felt necessity forcing them to favor their own race over men of other races in the struggle for existence. That is what prohibition means to you. Mr. Colored Voter. IS YOUR JOB SECURE IF PROHIBITION SHOULD BE ADOPTED THIS YEAR, DO YOU FEEL SURE THAT YOUR MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD IS SAFE WHEN HUNDREDS OF WHITE MEN WILL BE PLEADING, BEGGING AND THREATENING FOR YOUR JOB? There are men in your race who are calling upon you to vote for prohibition. Who are they? Are they men who work, or are they men who live by your work? For a handful of silver they are willing to sell your home, your labor, your family, aye, even your own existence. When your work is gone, when your wife and babies are hungry, when your feet are sore and swollen from hunting the right to labor as thousands of your race in the Southland are doing today, will these smug hypocrites and Judases give you a farthing for a meal? Consider it well. You cannot afford to look at the subject from the standpoint of a white man. Opportunities will open for him on every hand, but for you prohibitioi will steal your bread and offer you poison drink! The per capita expenditure for Negro education has always been small, but SINCE THE ADOPTION OF PROHIBITION OVER ONE-THIRD OF THE COLORED SCHOOLS OF THE SOUTH HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND THE OTHER TWO-THIRDS HAVE HAD THEIR APPROPRIATIONS CUT DOWN SO LOW THAT PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR THE NEGRO HAS BECOME A MOCKERY AND A SHAME. So terrible have been the effects of prohibition upon the economic conditions of the Negroes of the South, that THOUSANDS ARE LEAVING THE LAND OF THEIR FATHERS BECAUSE THEY FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE. The poor whites, ground down to bitter necessity, are begging and fighting for the labor once recognized as belonging to the Negro. In the past six months almost a million Negroes have come north to escape the poverty and hunger which prohibition has forced upon them. That liquor causes crime is not meant for you, because the NEGRO OF NEBRASKA IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CITIZEN. What do you think of this question? Turn where you may, Washington, Oregon, the Dakotas, Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado, it remains true that wherever prohibition has been adopted it is the Negro who suffers most. WHY? That liquor breeds drunkards is not meant for you, because the NEGRO OF NEBRASKA IS NOT AN IMMODERATE DRINKER. That liquor brings poverty was not aimed at you, because OF ALL THE RACES GOD EVER MADE, YOUR RACE ALONE HIDES POVERTY IF IT EVER KNEW IT. Because the majority of the Colored race is forced into the fields of labor directly and indirectly related to the liquor industry. This is not the fault of the Negro. Generally speaking, all other avenues of industry, excepting common labor, are closed against him. IN EVERY STATE THAT HAS ADOPTED PROHIBITION, THE NEGRO HAS BEEN THE FIRST TO SUFFER. BUT THE FACT THAT PROHIBITION AIMS TO ROB YOU OF YOUR MEANS OF LIVING; WOULD SHUT IN YOUR FACE THE DOORS OF THOSE FEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRESS OPENED TO YOU; AND WOULD SEND YOU FROM THIS FAIR STATE WITHOUT A HAVEN OF REFUGE; MAKES IT THE MOST DAMNABLE ISSUE EVER SEEKING SUPPORT FROM YOU! When the state of Colorado went dry, hundreds of Colored men lost their positions, YET NONE OF THE LARGE HOTELS OF THE STATE EMPLOYED COLORED WAITERS. The majority of the Colored men thrown out of employment were engaged in work WHICH HAD NO RELATION WHATEVER TO LIQUOR TRAFFIC. Colored men who had been with Denver firms for years were discharged in order to make places for whites: Colored laborers skilled and unskilled, were laid off What shall you do, Mr. Colored Voter? Listen to both sides; weigh well the problems; then consider the truth as we have given it to you. You will agree with us that NO NEGRO CAN AFFORD TO CAST A VOTE FOR PROHIBITION.

Clarence Cameron White and his Concert appearance in our city means "The musical event of the season." Mr White is so well known that only a short sketch is needed here His early training was under the best teachers in America; when in Europe, he studied with the great Russian violinist, M. Zacharewitsch. On his return to America he was received as an artist of the first rank in the leading cities of the United States. He J. M. unites with an admirable technique, a beautiful tone, remarkable for its breadth, fire and delicacy of expression. His personality is altogether pleasing. His playing is devoid of mannerisms and reveals keen intelligence and a fine conception of the composer's thought. During the comparatively short time that has elapsed since his return to America from European study, Mr. White has attained, without any sensational advertising, and whilst still a young man, a notable place amongst the artists and teachers of highest rank. He has not attained to eminence only through the possession of the natural talents that unquestionably are his, but because he has as well an unbounded capacity for hard work, and the intelligence necessary to guide that work in the right direction. Mr. White's concert appearances in this country have extended from the eastern coast as far west as the Rocky Mountains, and everywhere he has met with the greatest success. Some Press Comments. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the popular violinist, always a favorite in Washington, was greeted by an audience last Saturday at 6:30 p. m. that filled nearly every seat in the spacious Howard Theatre. The elite of the capital turned out and gave the music master a royal reception. Washington Eagle. The people of St. Paul were furnished a rare musical treat last Wednesday evening on the occasion of the violin recital given by Mr. Clarence Cameron White of Boston.

The coming of Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the celebrated violinist, had been heralded for several weeks; as a result, expectation on the part of the music loving element of our city was keyed to the highest pitch. After he had played the first few bars the audience felt that he was a master; and his reception readily became a grand ovation.—Mobile Press. A large audience is assured for Monday night by the advance sale of tickets. The management desires to state that no persons will be seated during the rendition of any number on the program. DR. VANDERVALL SUES SYRACUSE HOSPITAL Syracuse, N. Y.—Race prejudice is the accusation lodged by Dr. Isabelle Vandervall of Orange, N. J., against the Women's and Children's Hospital because she was refused admission whe she came here last May as an interne. Dr. Vandervall, an honor graduate of the New York Medical College, where she ranked 97.8 per cent., demands $5,000 damages in a Supreme Court suit. On the night Dr. Vandervall presented herself at the hospital she was not only denied admittance, but was forced to stand outdoors in a rain storm, she charges, because of her color.

The thoroughly business sounding term, Omaha Retailers' Association, has nothing in it to suggest things beautiful and things aesthetic, yet this association is bringing to Omaha some of the finest things discoverable in the musical world today. Our city is gradually waking up to the realization that "to grow with growing Omaha" is more than a catchy slogan. It begins to suggest not only a city growing in the business world, but growing in the sense of those wonderfully spiritual things that make human existence a joy and perpetual delight. Monday and Tuesday evenings the Auditorium was packed with music lovers who braved chill and rain that they might listen to the world-loved operas of Carmen and Il Trovatore, as presented by the Ellis Opera Company. The going was worth the effort, if effort there was. The great audiences thrilled with delight under the spell of earth-famed singers, and withal was the consciousness of a deep appreciation for the association of business men who are making Omaha a city of art, music and culture. An enthusiast was lost Monday night if he or she attempted to voice praise. The scenic effects were wonderfully true to nature and perfect in detail. The wild mountain pass, the lair of the gypsies and smugglers, could not have been improved upon had it been an open air performance in the heart of the grand Sierras. The costumes were resplendant in their richness and beauty, and the riot of color was a happy semblance of old Sevillian days. The sixty piece orchestra under the superb leadership of Cleofante Campanini was supreme artistry that beggars description. Long will Omahans remember this world's master conductor under whose baton music became endowed with vivid speech and overwhelming emotions. The rendition of the opera was simply grand. Geraldine Farrar was marvelous as she always is, and the auditorium thrilled with just acclaim. Her interpretation was rich beyond measure and only Calve has ever surpassed her. Helen Stanley, as Micaela, charmed with her beautiful and sweet soprano voice and won much applause. Lucien Muratore, the greatest of French tenors, and only second to Caruso, is a wonderful exponent of THE MONITOR. Don Jose. His rich full tones, marvelour vocal expression and charming interpretation of emotions were the wonder of the thousands who heard him. Clarence Whitehall, as Escamillo, made the great hall fairly shake with his deep bass and was conceded, without question, the high rank to which his genius has carried him. The fact of the matter is that the ensemble was so perfect, so entrancing, so delightful, that praise is unreservedly the meed of all. An added attraction of Monday night was the wife of Muratore, Lina Cavaleri, who occupied a box. She herself has been a Carmen, and a great one, but now she contents herself as a listener. She wore the worldfamous Cavaleri jewels and Omahans agree that her title to the most beautiful of women is justified. Tuesday night Il Trovatore was sung and while its grandeur was eclipsed by the Carmen production, the orchestration was far more beautiful and more generally known. Campanini outdid himself in interpreting the sweet melodies which have endeared Il Trovatore to the heart of millions. Louise Homer, as Azucena, is peerless and gave the most wonderful rendition ever seen in Omaha. Marie Rappold, as Leonaro, and Alma Petersen, as Inez, won much aplause. Morgan Kingston, the English tenor, who was a coal miner about seven years ago, stands out as an example of great energy, pluck and genius. His Manrico was exceptionally fine, altho his light was dimmed a bit after following the great Muratore. The opening of the musical season was indeed an event for Omahans and the future concerts are filled with the promise of equally delightful entertainment. PRESENTS PROCESSIONAL CROSS AS THANK OFFERING A beautiful brass processional cross was presented to the church of St. Philip the Deacon at the 11 o'clock service last Sunday morning by the Rev. John Albert Williams as a thank offering for his twenty-five years' ministry. The cross bears this inscription: "To the Church of St. Philip the Deacon "In loving memory of Henry and Adaline Williams.

RELIABLE" 15 16 THE FIRST CAUSE OF THE EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH Because of the large demand for able bodied men in Europe, the increase in population in the United States as the result of emigration last year was only one fourth of what it was fifteen years ago. Then four hundred thousand emigrants, chiefly from the southern and eastern portions of the European mainland, arrived here. In the five years from 1900 to 1905 the number of aliens coming to our shores arose by leaps and bounds until the million mark was passed. In 1913 and 1914 the high point was reached and the total of incoming foreigners reached 1,200,000. Last year, 1915, in spite of the demand for soldiers and workers, 300,000 sought refuge from war ridden Europe in this country, but 200,000 others migrated back across the Atlantic, so that the actual increase in population as the result of foreign immigration is only 100.00. Here is the first cause of the labor shortage in the Northern and Western manufacturing cities. Where they have been able to count on the yearly increase of 1,200,000 in the ranks of labor, one twelfth of that number, a measly 100,000 filtered in, and were gobbled up in the cities of the Eastern Seaboard, while the more inland sec- AMUSE The Alhambra THE HOUSE OF COURTESY 24th and Parker Finest House!

How much the West has depended on foreign labor to handle its industry can be seen in the fact that 70 per cent of its population is foreign born, or the immediate descendants of foreigners—the hyphenates of whom the political candidates are having so much to say. PULLMASTER FORT New Y months ag efit Assoc that time of that or more than pense to t With this deficit of more than a million in industrial ranks, the North and West turned to the poorly paid colored laborer in the South, and in spite of Southern objection has succeeded in importing 500,000 in the past six months. Continuing at this rate, and there is every likelihood that the movement will continue for a while at least, the South would be darined of every working man at the end of four years. After that the Northern and Western capitalist may be forced to do business with the South American half-breed, the capable African or the humble Asiatic, but meantime as the Milwaukee Leader observes: "Looks like hard times for the people down South. They may have to go to work, or give up their favorite amusement of lynching Negroes."—The Baltimore Afro-American. Subscribe for The Monitor.

PULLMAN PORTER HEIRS GET FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS New York, Oct. 27 — Eighteen months ago the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association was organized. Since that time the beneficiaries of members of that organization have received more than $40,000 at an average expense to the members of about $8.00. Of this amount the porters themselves have paid about 95 per cent. The annual meeting of the Eastern and North-eastern zones was held in this city on Tuesday, Oct. 17, with an attendance of representatives from practically every city in the two zones. Delegates to the annual meeting of the association, comprising seven zones, which will be held in Chicago at a time to be settled upon later, were chosen. From the North-eastern zone Walter Jacobus, A. Austin and Waverly Williams were elected. From the Eastern zone H. L. Curtis, John M. Brown and William Easley are the representatives. Following the business meeting the representatives present at the meeting dined at the Lybia, at which time various phases of the work of the body were discussed by the members. In addition, Gen. H. Forret gave with considerable fervor Marc Anthony's oration from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Under the recent arrangement by the Pullman Co., which enabled employees to purchase stock in the company, many of the porters have become stockholders in the corporation, and it was a fact of interest that practically every man attending the meeting of the Benefit Association holds stock in the Pullman Company.

Philadelphia, October 19 — James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of the New York Age, won the third prize of $200 in the editorial contest in the Public Ledger. He was one of the three winners who wrote on "Why Charles E. Hughes Should Be Elected." There were also three prizes offered to those who wrote the best essays on "Why Woodrow Wilson Should Be Re-elected." One thousand dollars in prizes were offered on each side. The judges did not know that the New York editor was a colored man, each contestant being required to sign a pen name. Mr. Johnson wrote under his middle name, Weldon. His editorial, which appeared on the front page of the Public Ledger Wednesday morning, October 18, severely arraigns the Wilson administration for its vacillating policy. Mr. Johnson is the author of a number of books, one of which is "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," published anonymously in 1912. He also is a contributor to a number of the best magazines. He speaks several languages. The Age has the following editorial comment on Mr. Johnson's success: "To win recognition in a contest participated in by eight-hundred trained writers is nothing short of an achievement, and Mr. Johnson has signally distinguished himself, The Age and his race. His accomplishment is another body blow to the arguments of some that the colored man's brain is inferior to the white man's. It would be absurd to pit a colored man of untrained mind against a white man with a trained mind for honors in a contest in which brains were to prominently figure, and vice versa. However, Mr. Johnson has shown what a Negro with a cultivated mentality can do. "The Age, for a number of years, has claimed the best editorial staff ever collected in Negro journalism. This is no idle boast. Its leading writers are not 'good Colored newspapermen,' but good newspapermen, who have measured arms with the best journalists in the country and won recognition. They write well and interestingly on subjects of general concern as well as matters affecting the Negro. To us it is gratifying that the public—colored and white—is gradually waking up to this fact. In winning third prize in the editorial contest conducted by the Public Ledger, James W. Johnson gives Negro journalism a big boost. PLAN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 19.—Juulis Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist and others are behind a movement to start a Negro vocational school near Independence. Charles D. Irvin, of Steubenville, O., has invented a new and useful improvement in skimmers and troughs for blast furnaces. The invention has for its primary object, a novel method for conveying the residue of a skimmer trough to moulds or ladels, thereby dispensing with a side-gate heretofore used in a trough for removing the residue and forming pigs or pieces of iron. THE MONITOR. The Arkansas Synod of the Presbyterian Church in U. S. A., had a heated discussion over a proposed report offered against lynching. The motion was defeated, because the majority held that the question was not a proper one for the synod. Let me leave with you two thoughts, the first, that it is not possible to know a race or a people without contact with them; and second, that Colored and white people are exactly alike in their qualities of heart and their mental abilities where they have had equal advantages. Nothing is worse for a race than to be thought different or odd.—From speech of Mr. Wm. D. Brigham, at Washington. The strike of the Colored workers in the Panama Canal zone, which began two weeks ago, is about over. An attempt to revive the strike in Colon was a failure. Ten carloads of Colored people left Alabama for the North last week and the city council of Birmingham became so "het up" over the situatiol that they have passed a law imposing a fine of $100 upon any person or persons trying to iiduce their Colored citizens to leave Dixie. A newly discovered novel of Alexander Dumas has just been published in England. It is called "The Neapolitan Lovers." Nelson, the great admiral of English history, is the hero. Howard Drew, the well known Colored sprinter, will locate in Des Moines, Iowa, it is reported. He will engage in the newspaper business, and at the same time will prepare to study law at Drake University. James A. Cobb, former special assistant United States Attorney, has been appointed as a member of the faculty of the Howard University Law School, to succeed the late A. A. Birney. William White, Colored private in service schools detachment at Ft. Leavenworth, was sentenced to hang for the killing of Sergt. J. F. Jackson. December 15th was the date set for the execution. An impending strike of the native labor of Porto Rica has resulted in a hurried call for American Colored labor. It will probably be unheeded from the fact that the wages are exceedingly lower than that of the wage scale of the United States. The Southern papers assert that the Colored Schools exhibit at the Chattanooga fair is one of the best to be seen. Over two thousand Colored men are now employed by the Bethlehem Steel Company, at Sparrows Point, Pa. Charles Schwab is reported as saying that the company will give employment to Colored men in any department for which they have qualifications. The Tri-State Fair at Memphis, Teni., was entertained by a jubilee chorus of 500 Colored voices, on two occasions last week. The first, on Wednesday, as a matter of program, and the last on Sunday by special request. McQu 1512 Farnam S JOHN B.

JOHNS LAWYER Clarence Cameron White Violin Soloist Monday, Oct. 30 at the Grove M. E. Church 22nd and Seward Streets Admission, 50c The Man We Want for the United States Senate. John L. Kennedy, candidate for United States Senator, is a man worth while. When one scans the list of Nebraska's sons, no name stands forth with more dignity, more honor, more sterling worth, than John L. Kennedy of Omaha. His character is above reproach, his ability is unquestioned, his mind is his own. Now and then in politics it is the good fortune of voters to find a man aspiring to office who desires the office, not for what it may bring him, but what he may bring to the office. When such a man aspires it is usually the case that years have brought wisdom, and that in the complex play of national and world politics he catches the vision of things he would like to do for citizens and nation, before death rings down the sable curtains on the stage of life. John L. Kennedy is such a man. Through the years gone by he has worked to build up his city and state, and monuments stand today as witnesses to his thrift and genius. He is rich, he is cultured, he is learned, and life has little of material things which he desires. As a reward for what life has given him, he now desires to give, as he has often given in the past, something in return. And nothing greater can any man give than his voluntary service to the cause of human needs and human hopes. That the Colored voters of Nebraska will give their undivided vote to John L. Kennedy, there can be no question. He has been their friend in all that the term friend implies, both in private and public life. There has never been a time or place when the hand of John L. Kennedy has not been outstretched to aid his Colored brother. He is a man we have always counted upon and who has never failed us in the hour of need. What we may depend upon when he takes his seat in the Congress of our nation can never be conjectured. When the race needs him, he will be our champion alongside of the few champions whom we already have and may have. John L. Kennedy needs us now and we will not fail him, even as he has never failed us. Our choice for United States Senator first, last and all the time, is John L. Kennedy.

The great movement of colored labor from the South to the North and West has interested the Information Bureau of the United States Department of Immigration and two trained investigators are now on a tour of the country looking into the condition of the workers in their new environment. The men are Messrs. William Jennifer and Charles E. Hall, who have been connected with the United States Census Bureau for some years. They have compiled the various bulletins on the Negro issued by that bureau. They have been transferred to the Immigration Bureau so that they may report conditions as they find them. During the next six weeks they will visit Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Gary, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Duluth and Detroit. Over 2,000 inquiries have been made by Southern colored people seeking information from the United States Labor Bureau regarding chances of employment in the North. WAITERS AT WILSON DINNER STRIKE AND GET MORE PAY Chicago, Ill., Oct. 19.—Negro waiters employed at the Press Club utilized the presence of President Wilson, at lunch there to gain for themselves a raise in wages, without investigation and without compromise. Just before the president was due to arrive thirty special waiters who were to serve the luncheon put on their coats preparatory to walking out. They had not asked for more pay, but when stopped by the steward told him they had decided they must have a 50 per cent increase on the contract prices before they would begin their duties. The advantage was theirs, and the increase was granted. THE COST OF GETTING VILLA The expense of the President's latest Mexican alventure, the pursuit of Villa and the patrol of the border has been $100,000,000. The expense of the maintenance of the troops in Texas and in Mexico is between $15,- 000,000 and $20,000,000 a month. Before the troops are withdrawn the cost of going after Villa will absorb the whole amount provided under the supplementary revenue bill. And yet the democrats point with pride to their economical administration. If this is economy what would extravagance be? Why Not the Best?

FASHION NOTES FRESH FROM PARIS Women's gowns this season are more beautiful than usual, more tempting than usual, but they are also more expensive than usual. One things that can be said in their favor, however, is that they are more wearable than usual. The cleverly shaped, little trimmed modeled hats, narrow brimmed and high, straight crowned or with brims clasping the head closely, seem to be the favorites, but women seldom look well in them. Marvelous laces, sumptuous brocades, jeweled embroideries, furs, velvets, and such rich decorations show up on many of Callot's latest models. AUTUMN Is Here Off with the old, and on with the new!

Paquin shows an underskirt of vague and illusive character, allowing it to show slightly all the way around beneath a rippling tunic hem. Turkish trousers are being shown this season. Long straight blouses of one kind and another are features of many postumes. The swathing Oriental sash with Turkish trousers is being adopted by many stylish American women for negligee costumes. They are no doubt comfortable and rather pleasing to the eye. Chinese, Japanese and Greek negligees are quite common this season. The front of the evening gown is not to be cut as low as the back this season, say the designers. The women of France have removed all stiffening from their skirts, but Americans seem backward in this respect. Anything that makes the figure bulge at any part of its length is wrong this year. Many of the decorations on gowns this season are so striking as to almost appear barbaric. But there is genius in their makeup and tho often barbaric, they are beautiful. 1 You can always save 20 to 30 per cent by buying from BONOFF'S N. Y.

JACOB FAWCETT Candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Judge Fawcett was born in Wisconsin, and in 1888 came to Nebraska, locating at Omaha, where he successfully practiced law until he was elected Judge of the District Court in 1895. He was re-elected four years later. In 1908 he was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court by Governor Sheldon. Nominated at the Republican primary in 1909, he was elected in November and is now completing his eighth year as Judge. Four years ago he was elected by his associates as acting Chief Justice, and in that capacity has at all times presided in the absence of the Chief Justice. On the death of Chief Justice Hollenbeck, in 1915, his associates joined in a written request to the governor for his appointment as Chief Justice. He is now a candidate for that office on the non-partisan ballot. Judge Fawcett enlisted in the Sixteenth Wisconsin Infantry at he age of fourteen years and served until the close of the Civil War. He was twice severely wounded. He is a man of vigorous health, of wide experience and fearless in his convictions. The best interests of Nebraska will be served by his election as Chief Justice. --- We bought before the raise and will sell at our regular prices.

Judge Sedgwick is a native of Du Page County, Illinois, and is a graduate of the law school of Ann Arbor, Mich. His acquaintance extends throughout the state and he stands in the highest respect, especially with people familiar with the work of the Supreme Court. Judge Sedgwick's first judicial experience was in the Fifth Judicial District where he served one term. From there he went to the Supreme Court Commission, thence to the Supreme Bench. In all these positions he has rendered eminent service and the indications are strong that he will be elected to succeed himself by a good strong majority. ```markdown ``` 5 21 6 WE APPROVE: Some one who has remembered the Dreyfus case and Zola's "J'accuse" philippic has organized a society of democrats under the name of Approving Americans. The slogan of the society is "We approve!" We suppose their list of approbations will include the following: We approve the selection of William Jennings Bryan as secretary of state. We approve his resignation. We approve the stand of Mr. Wilson in opposition to a national defense program in 1914. We approve his addresses in favor of a national defense program in 1916. We approve his capture of Vera Cruz with the object of enforcing a salute to the American flag. We approve his withdrawal of our forces from Vera Cruz with the American flag unsaluted. We approve his insistence that Huerta must not be President of Mexico. We approve his recent announcement that there must be no interference with Mexico. We approve his support of Pancho Villa. We approve his pursuit of Pancho Villa. We approve his notification of Germany that submarine attacks on merchant ships must cease. We approve his declaration during the submarine controversy that we are too proud to fight. We approve his shaken fist. We approve his admonitory finger. We approve him when he advances and when he backs up, when he goes up and when he comes down, vertically and horizontally and diagonally, in straight lines and curved lines, in circles and spirals, elliptically and parabolically. Our approbation is flexible and adjustable, mobile and double-jointed. "Them's our sentiments," said the backwoods statesman, "and if they don't suit they kin be altered."—Brooklyn Times. COLORED FOLK IN CUBA James Huneker, well known author and art critic, has written a very interesting article in the N. Y. Times, entitled: "A West Indian Paradise of Perpetual Jajamas." This excerpt will probably interest our readers: "Politics is the ruling passion. Not cock-fighting, a pastime throughout the island, not sugar or tobacco is so often in the thoughts of the Cubans. I had the luck to attend a meeting of the Liberalists to honor Alfredo de Zayas, their Presidential candidate. It was held at the Miramar, where the banquet was given in a large patio. Ladies in evening dress sat in the balconies and listened to the grinding of male molars and to the noise of parched gullets overflowing with freshets of champagne. Such spellbjnders! Such vociferous enthusiasm! Fierce little political fans, with portraits, were sold for pests. I fancied that I was in the old Ninth Ward till a man as black as the ace of spades spoke in glowing vocables. Then I knew I was in Cuba, the happy land of Colored folk. Here the Negro not only votes but holds office. Here the Colored women, most of them mulatto, walk the streets attjred in variegated glory; that is, if they are not poor old washerwomen, in stockingless feet, smoking black cigars, and carrying a live chicken under their arms. The Colored women of the better class are often handsome, majestic persons, bronze of complexion, hair of a natural features and symmetrical figures.

Those who are not rich expect to be, for they one and all play the lottery." ALEXANDER HAMILTON COLORED And now Alevander Hamilton, the best brains of the revolutionary period, is to be added to that long list of immortals differentiated from the rest of mankind as men of light complexion, in whose veins ran predominant the virile blood of Africa and headed by the two Alexander Dumases, father and son, and boasting Pushkin, the great Russian, and many another of earth's greatest men, some of them even unsuspected of Colored descent. The tale is old, and many have been the efforts by the descendants of Alexander Hamilton to cover it up. But the truth will out. And the story is well told by our attractively made up and well edited contemporary, the Beth Tphillah Reminder, the organ of the Fourth Moravian church, of which the erudite Rev. Chas. Martin is pastor. The Reminder, in an article scintilating with literary brilliancy and an array of facts, sets before the world final and convincing proofs of Alexander Hamilton's descent from the despised and persecuted Colored race. What will white America think of its hero? We wonder can prejudice dim the fame of the mai, and will Caucasian cussedness in this case work out its usual theory, that the blood of ancient Egypt and Ethiopia can pollute in this age, when it uplifted anl glorified in all other ages? Anyhow, the article on Alexander Hamilton in the August number of the Beth Tphillah Reminder is well worth reading. Please look at the number on the yellow label on your paper.

Telephone Webster 4243. 8 OPPOSITION TO WILSON We have been asked why so many intelligent Colored Americans, who four years ago were decidedly friendly toward Woodrow Wilson are now so bitterly opposed to him. Well, for those who are even remotely acquainted with the growing self-respect of and among our race, this question should not offer any difficulty. It is not because President Wilson has taken away many positions efficiently filled by members of our race, although the injustice of this were cause for resentment; but because there has been apparently a studied and well-defined policy on his part and that of his administration to humiliate us, deprive us of our manhood rights and destroy our self-respect. No fair-minded man or women can read the record of restrictive laws, enactments and practices which have been the vogue of the Wilsonian administration—we had almost written mal-administration without admitting the truth of this indictment. We need not here give a list of the segregation acts and practices, the antiracial measures introduced in Congress and the humiliating demands made upon Colored federal employees if they were to retain even the places to which they had been demoted (no this is not a typographical or orthographical error for pro-moted) which have been aimed directly at our self-respect, and which we are fast learning is the most valuable asset that any race or people can possess. Self-respect needs cultivation and encouragement, not repression. The Wilson policy, wittingly or unwittingly, designedly or undesignedly—but we believe it to be wittingly and designedly—in its application to the Colored American has been aimed at the weakening and extinction of his self-respect. This then is the reason for the race's opposition to Woodrow Wilson. It is vital and deep-seated. PROGRESS AND HOPE One cannot visit any of our large cities where our race is to be found in any considerable numbers without being impressed with the evidence of thrift, aggressiveness and progress which he sees on every hand. Of course, there is the other side, too, but in our opinion, to him who will but see the brighter more hopeful side is the more prominent. Everywhere we find our people becoming home-owners in larger and ever-increasing numbers, entering more generally into various and varied business enterprises, demanding, appreciating and using better educational facilities. All of this indicates progress, genuine progress and offers ground for hope and encouragement in our struggle to rise to the highest plane of the best type of citizenship. There is no reason at all for our people being disconrared anywhere in this country for we are making progress that must command respect. Progress and hope are valuable assets.

When we note the trend of affairs one is inclined to believe that it were nearer the truth to say that Americans are opportunists. They shape their conduct with a view to the main chance. They are largely governed by what is considered the practical side measured by a financial standard of profit and loss. The question is seldom "Is it right?" But more often "Will it pay?" Meaning by this will it pay in dollars and cents. Do you believe the day will ever come when both the American church and the American nation will stand uncompromisingly for the highest ideals? DREAM Dream, children of the sun-loved race, dream! It is the most real thing in all the wide wide world. Fingers can clutch at cloth and wood and stone and gold, yet somehow they all slip away. But no one can rob you of your dream. Why dream? Ah! yes, I know what you would ask. Is it worth while? Yes, it is always worth while. Prejudices may tug at the bruised and broken chords of your heart, but there are thousands in the world who understand and will help you heal the wounds. And the mystic power that helps dreamers knows neither race nor creed nor color. It comes out of the blue zone and over the volcanic peaks, fluttering like a little wind among the trees, and reaching down to man, helps to raise him up. To that power barriers are tinsel and hate a mist. Yes, pick out a dream, a great big dream, and work and wait and hope. And then through every hour of every day and through the slow deep breathing of all the silent nights, that mystic power will smooth a path for your struggling feet and weave a vision for your yearning eyes. Just keep this faith and one day you shall reach the sunlit heights and from life's dissonance strike one clear chord that carries to the ears of God. A SUBTILE DEMOCRATIC MOVE Colored voters need not be disturbed over the articles appearing in the World-Herald, signed "A Colored Citizen." It is merely an attempt to publish the fact that Will N. Johnson is Colored, with the hopes of appealing to prejudiced voters. While we would have preferred Johnson to make an open fight and carry his plea direct to all voters, we can say upon authority that the Republican Committee wished to publish Johnson's picture along with their write-up, but Johnson refused. The blame is not with them, if there be any blame. OBVIOUS OBSERVATIONS The blizzard of last Thursday so knocked us off our pins that we are not quite steady yet. We have inlited an epistle to the weather guy DREAM and told him that if he doesn't slip is a twenty-four hour notice next time we're going to mail him a dandy little omb. The emergency editor of The Monitor had so many bouquets thrown at him last week that he is seriously thinking of stopping newspaper work and opening a cut flower shop. Most of Omaha's newspapers side tep the prohibition issue as if it were a smallpox sign, but The Monitor is out for the wet side hands down and e don't care who knows it. Wake up all that latent energy of yours and boost for Will Johnson. He has got to come through on a long lead. What did you think of "The Trooper of Company K?" Say, our pride for the Colored race keeps us swelling up so that the last notch in the belt is almost reached. The man who thinks he knows all there is to know about Omaha politics is beginning to think he doesn't know near so much as he knew before he knew anything. Read it over again, now, and get it straight. We want to be understood. The editor of The Monitor was due back last Thursday night, but didn't hit town until several days later. He's now recuperating. Tell all your friends to vote for Hughes, because if this Democratic administration keeps up men will be walking around the streets with knives and forks trying to eat each other up. Potatoes are climbing to two bones a bushel. In our humble opinion, as between Kennedy and Hitchcock, the former has got friend latter fanned to a vapor. We are certainly planning some real nice things for The Monitor's readers, but politics is keeping our exhaust valves so wide open that we don't have time to even meditate over our plate of beans. Who said the Colored vote isn't in the game? Batters up! Everytime we pass Fourteenth and Dodge we begin dreaming of the telegraph pole on the northeast corner of 35th and State. Pshaw, forget it. Railroad tickets cost too much. You can find everything you need advertised in The Monitor except a tombstone. May you never need one until 2000 A. D. Send The Monitor to an out of town friend. Uncle Sam will carry it for the measly sum of one cent. The publicity bureau over the People's Drug Store, has issued a ukase to the effect that when it comes to the science of rapid retreats, Dr. J. H. Hutten has Kuropatkin looking like a lone deuce in a poker deck. Dr. Leonard Britt has filed suit in the court of general opinion against Henry W. Black and Dr. W. W. Peebles for stealing his oratorical thunder and attempting to emulate him as a political highbinder. Mr. Thomas Bass, the well-known horseman of Mexico, Mo., was in Omaha on a business trip this week. Mr. Bass is the owner of some of the most famous race horses in the country. --- SONGS OF SOLOMON Opportunity. 1. Heed thee, O my cheeild, the counsels of a father, for today he singeth to thee of Opportunity. 2. It may be true that all things come to him who waits, but remember, O my cheeild, that when they come, thou mayest have parents, or worse. 3. Opportunity weareth no April fool sign, "I AM IT," for if it did every dude and fair fluff would have a chug wagon and a check book. 4. Think not to find Opportunity at the green-covered table, for while it often lingereth there, it lingereth not for thee but for the other fellow. 5. When thou wouldst try a getrich-quick game, hearken to the tale of the fish who swimmeth happily to the bright hook and is served up a la Creole on Friday. 6. Some say that sooner or later Opportunity knocketh at every door, but put not thy trust in what people saith. Opportunity may lose thy address. 7. So linger not behind thy door listening for the tap tap, but get thee into the highway with a sandbag and lay for Opportunity as it pussyfooteth down the lane. 8. As thou hidest in the shadows remember the policy of watchful waiting, and shouldst Opportunity see thy sandbag before thou swingeth it, let thy limbs remember Marathon and thy feet patter after the fleety stranger. 9. Never argue with either a woman or Opportunity, for if thou dost thy middle name is Boob. Simply get thee a hammerlock hold and dictate thy terms. 10. Take these precepts to heart, O my cheeild, and forget not the sandbag. It will serve thee well. THE DREAMER The dreamer dreamed and the busy world Passed by with a mocking smile, As it went in search of the world's rewards, But the dreamer dreamed the while. He saw the world, as the would should be, When longer years had run, And the world but paused in its work to ask: "Pray, what has the dreamer done?" Yet ever the dreamer dreamed his dream, Until, in some wondrous way— As the water springing in deeps of earth, Finds passage to upper day. The dreamer's dream found the man of power— 'Tis strange how men's lives are knit— Who knew not the dreamer, but took his dream And transformed the world with it. The world bows down to the man of power— And perhaps the dreamer dies— But the dream he dreamed is the secret force That has forged men's destinies. —The Bellman. Beware of campaign segars. Tell the candidate that you prefer a John Ruskin or a Te Be Ce. Of the 2,000 students in the Los Angeles High School this year only about 30 are Colored students. GETTING SQUARE. What an awful price people pay for the determination to "get square" with those they fancy have injured them! No matter what others do to us, every bit of retaliation, every bit of injury we do to them, every blow intended for another really wounds ourselves. A bitter, revengeful thought is a boomerang which is hurled back to the thrower. It is impossible to injure another either in thought or in deed without receiving the blow ourselves. What a terrible price many people pay for their revenge—a price which often staggers their advanceemnt, kills their efficiency, ruins their characters. I have known people to carry for years feelings of bitter hatred and revenge for a fancied wrong, to hold a revengeful determination to "get square" with those who injured them, until their whole characters were so changed that they became almost inhuman. No one can carry a grudge against another, a hatred thought, a revengeful determination, a desire to injure others, without a fatal deterioration of character as well as serious impairment of his getting-on ability and his happiness. People little realize what they do when they harbor these happiness - destroying, success - killing thoughts toward others. Such feelings kill spontaneity, blight the character, and stifle self-expression. No one can do his best work while he harbors revengeful or even unfriendly thoughts toward others. Our faculties only give up their best when working in perfect harmony. There must be good will in the heart or we can not do good work with the head. Hatred, revenge and jealousy are rank poisons, as fatal to all that is noblest in us as arsenic is fatal to the physical life. Just think how unmanly it is to be waiting for an opportunity to injure another, or to "get square" with some one! If you wish to make the most of yourself, and have peace of mind, never retire at night with an unkind feeling toward anyone in the world. Forget, forgive. "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." You can not afford the fatal rankling of these hatred and revenge javelins in your soul. They are successkillers, happiness destroyers. — The Citizen's Advocate, Los Angeles, Cal. PAT READ THE LETTER. One of the bosses at Baldwin's locomotive works had to lay off an argumentative Irishman named Pat, so he saved discussion by putting the discharge in writing. The next day Pat was missing, but a week later the boss was passing through the shop and he saw him again at his lathe. Going up to the Irishman he demanded fiercely: "Didn't you get my letter?" "Yis, sur, Oi did," said Pat. "Did you read it?" "Sure sur, Oi read it inside and Oi read it outside," said Pat, "and on the inside yez said I was fired, and on the outside yez said, "Return to Baldwin's locomotive works in five days." FOR A NEW Y.

Judges are not nominated by political parties but are voted for on a separate non-partisan ballot. Judge Morrissey's work as Chief Justice has been heartily commended by those having business before the Supreme Court. In the April primaries the voters showed their appreciation of his efforts by giving him a splendid majority. Out of 93 counties he received a majority in 80; and in the whole state he received 9,993 more votes than were cast for any other candidate for Chief Justice. He is in vigorous health; in the prime of life; has demonstrated his fitness for the position, and for these reasons you are asked to help elect him to succeed himself.

TO THE NEGRO VOTERS OF NEBRASKA: On November 7th the voters of Nebraska their ballots for or against prohibition. There mit a statement by which we hope you may press your views at the polls. We are justly proud that the Negro furry Revolutionary Army, which raised this country a state of representative democracy. From YE it was the labor of Negro hands which held worth forty billions of dollars.

And we believe that the Negro, if he hopes to tiny as an American, must fight on the right station which comes before his state and nation f On November 7th the voters of Nebraska will be asked to cast their ballots for or against prohibition. Therefore, we herewith submit a statement by which we hope you may be guided when you express your views at the polls. We are justly proud that the Negro furnished one-fourth of the Revolutionary Army, which raised this country from vassalage into a state of representative democracy. From Yorktown to Appomattox, it was the labor of Negro hands which helped to build a country worth forty billions of dollars. And when the Abolition Movement came, God gave us Frederick Douglas who, with Garrison, Phillips, Sumner and Lincoln, offered up so much that in America, at least, there should not again be property in man. And when at last the slave question was submitted to the arbitrament of arms, the North placed on the altar of liberty a million of her sons and a billion in money. When these were not enough, the Negroes gave two hundred thousand soldiers as their sacrifice, and the cause of Freedom was won. With freedom came the problem of assimilating four million crushed, penniless, ignorant beings into our iational life without catastrophe. The services and sacrifices made in this behalf are now matters of history. But we are grateful to the Abolitionists, the Congregational, Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches and the soldiers, living and dead, for the strong, kindly hands of help they have extended to the Negro throughout the passing years. They are aiding the Negro throughout the southland, even now. We do not wish to forget these heroic friends, and we could not, if we would. Without their help the wonderful progress we have made could not have been. We have always justified the faith of our friends, for we have always been on the right side of every great question which has come before our country for solution. Our great leaders and spokesmen, like Douglas, Bishops Payne and Grant, Booker T. Washington, George W. Lee, M. C. R. Mason and W. E. B. Du Bois, have stood where Garrison, Phillips, Sumner and Lincoln stood, against the liquor traffic. And we believe that the Negro, if he hopes to reach his highest destiny as an American, must fight on the right side of every great question which comes before his state and nation for decision. We say to the Negro, as his friends of other years have said, he should be against the liquor traffic on every conceivable ground. It has always been nd is now a serious handicap to his progress along religious, moral, economic and educational lines. The liquor traffic has cost the Negro more in its steady curse of ruin than all other agencies that have sought to crush him down. It stands on the same plane upon which chattel slavery stood. Its champions offer the same old excuses for it which were offered for chattel slavery seventy years ago; its removal will bring economic disaster; it has always existed and it always will. The destructon of slavery did bring financial loss, but the nation emerged from that struggle, purged and glorified. And no one is now so bold as to assert that because abuses of the freedmen were visited upon them by unregenerated former masters that we should not have freed the slaves. But with sophistry and cunning men are daring to offer excuses for the liquor traffic. We say to the Negro, as his friends of ot should be against the liquor traffic on every has always been nd is now a serious handica religious, moral, economic and educational lines cost the Negro more in its steady curse of ruin that have sought to crush him down. It sta upon which chattel slavery stood. Its champ excuses for it which were offered for chatter ago; its removal will bring economic disaster and it always will. The destructon of slavery but the nation emerged from that struggle, put no one is now so hold as to assert that beoor We regard the liquor traffic as a "collossal image of evil and destruction," and we cannot defend it. We will not permit our state and nation to believe that the Negro will prove unworthy of the history he has made and his friends at such a time as this. When danger threatened our people and country in other days, the Negro fought and died on the right side. Surely he will not falter now. The men and women who are leading the fight against the liquor traffic in this state today are the sons and daughters of the sires who gave their all for us in other days. Let us not forsake them in this hour of need. From our humble places we urge you to vote Yes on the Prohibitory Amendment. If you do, your service will be no less patriotic than at Yorktown and Appomattox, and posterity will bear witness that you are right. WM. F. BOTTS, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. W. T.
