THE MONITOR 5c a Copy General Convention Ends Its Sessions Pastoral Letter Lays Stress Upon National Righteousness and Inveighs Against All Racial Prejudice. LIBERIAN EPISCOPATE VACANT Commission Appointed to Visit Liberia. Election of Ferguson's Successor Awaits Report. Canon on Suffragans Passes. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 28.—With the reading of the bishop's pastoral letter, which will be subsequently read in all Episcopal churches of the country, at St. Peter's Church, before a large congregation and a chancel full of vested bishops the General Convention of the Episcopal Church ended here today. The pastoral letter recognizes America's place as a world power and frankly states that the country can only fulfill its duty by manifesting true righteousness which transcends all the divisions of nationality or race." As a nation "no self-isolation on our part is possible. The fortunes of the nations of the world are interwoven as the threads of a tapestry. To ignore this fact is folly; to reckon with it frankly is to give due recognition to the fundamental unity of the human race and to hasten the dawn of that day in which the armaments of war shall be beaten into the implements of peace." It warns against a "nationalism" which too often assumes the ugly role of groupselfishness or false patriotism." Present day social evils and injustices are noted and Churchmen are urged to ameliorate these by the application of the ideals and principles of the Christian religion. Prayer Book Revision. The convention spent much time on Prayer Book revision and enrichment which must go over for completion to the next general convention which meets in Detroit in 1919. No Election for Liberia. A successor to Bishop Ferguson was not chosen at this convention. Political conditions in Liberia and other exigencies arising out of the war necessitated the appointing of a commission to investigate and report on the situation, not only as touching Liberia, but adjacent territory which has petitioned for missionary work. When this commission makes its report a special meeting of the house of bishops will be called to elect a bishop for Liberia. The Racial Episcopate. The convention adopted the minority report on the racial episcopate, which provides for the election of suffragan bishops for work among the Colored people wherever it may be deemed advisable. Suffragans so chosen will have the same status as other suffragan of which there are already eight in the American Episcopal Church. The majority report recommended a separate missionary district. It was urged that this would THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor Omaha, Nebraska, Nov. 4, 1916 lead to separation instead of unification of the work of the Church and for that reason it was rejected. The vestrymen of All Saints' Church of this city circulated a memorial protesting against any provision for a racial episcopate, fearing that it would widen the ecclesiastic breach between the races. PROHIBITION SHOWS ITS HAND Prohibition has shown its hand with unmistakable emphasis relative to its attitude toward our people. We thought its promoters would be adept enough to hide their prejudices while trying to flim flam some of our unthinking men to their standard, but they had to crop out. One of the stock arguments of prohibitionists has always been that "dry statistics would show up better, except for the Negro." It is a base lie and no one knows it better than the prohibitionists themselves. This argument is only used when considering prohibition in the South. Conditions are just as bad in Maine, Iowa, and the far western states, but the Colored population is so small in those places that the failure of prohibition cannot be laid upon the Negro. This is one of the arguments being put up to "white men only" by Nebraska prohibitionists. It is a slur that is not to be forgiven. What has our Colored Dry Committee to say to it? Speak up! We Colored citizens want to know why you are espousing a cause that reflects discredit upon our race? Are you sincere, or are you trying to sell us for a price? We have a right to know. NEW WORK FOR COLORED GIRLS Last week the Tremont Silk Mills, of New York, opened a branch factory at 51 West 140th street, and employed forty Colored girls. It is a new departure and is hailed by The New York Age as a most promising opening. The present work consists of labeling rolls of ribbon and repacking for the trade. As soon as new machinery is installed the girls will be taught to roll ribbon on spools. The minimum wage is $4.50 per week. The company promises that if the girls make good they will open new branches and give employment to a large number, and will pay them good wages as they become efficient. "GEE WHIZZ, LOOK AT THE ADS!" Yes, that's what they are for. What does that show? Live merchants don't advertise in dead newspapers. The Monitor is a "live wire" in getting results. When you go to the polls next Tuesday, watch your step. There will be workers there who will talk you deaf, dumb and blind, and who will give you enough paper to start a paper mill. Study our pages and vote for the men we mention. These men and The Monitor are on the square and won't hand you the double-cross. Women can vote for the school board. Get out and vote. A Barrier to Pan-Americanism Roland G. Usher in The Independent Author of "Pan-Germanism," "Pan-Ameicanism." The European War has made clear as crystal the vital importance of race and blood in all of the closer administrative and political relations between large bodies of men. It has shown that there are inherited unconscious stimuli to action, unexprest impulses toward union or antagonism into which men are born and which do govern their concerted action and which, in a large measure, geographical barriers and time are not capable of erasing. Whatever "race" may be, whatever part the physical and chemical constituents in the blood play in it, by it the British Empire has been held together and by it the Germans have been united throut the world in one common bond of sympathy. Without this tie or something closely resembling it, an entire harmony between large bodies of men has ordinarily not resulted. Constitutions and courts, the pressure of armies, common economic interests have in such cases as Ireland, Poland, Finland and Lorraine proved entirely inadequate to supply its lack. Whatever it is, race is unquestionably one of the most potent impulses governing the affiliations of large bodies of men. One of the most persistent nations championed in the United States today by a considerable body of idealists, sanctioned by the President, favored by commercial interests, is Pan-Americanism. No two men seem to agree in their use of the word and the type and closeness of the end it denotes vary from an increase of diplomatic friendship to a definite Federal Government of all the American republics. Nevertheless, it must always include a greater sympathy and comity between citizens of the twenty-one-republics in the western hemisphere (Canada always excluded). It tends to an implication at least of the exclusion of Europe and its affairs from this hemisphere and of a desirability and possibility of greater sympathy between inhabitants of tse western hemisphere than they have with Europeans. This is the least which the idea can predicate. It must rest upon the definite possibility of an increase in friendly feelings between individuals in the various republics or it will have no democratic basis. Yet the difference in race between the Latin-Americans and ourselves is an issue of which its advocates are unconscious or which they choose to neglect. Compared to the difference between the Latin-Americans and the great majority of people of the United States, there are no racial differences in many states illegal; thruout the lishman, the Pole, the German, and the Russian, the Bavarian, and the Alsatian are in comparison identical in race. The vast majority of citizens in the Uiited States are white, Vol. II. No.19 (Whole No.71) and they look upon the Negro and Indian strains as undesirable constituents to be segregated and minimized. The slightest trace of Negro or Indian blood is sufficient to create a social stigma in most parts of the country and makes impossible social life on an equality with white people. In Latin-America these very strains which we thus stigmatize are present in nearly all of the population. Pure white blood is rare. Many full-blooded Indians have attained prominent political offices; a good many full-blooded Negroes have in some republics done significant work; while the great majority of the population who are neither Negro nor Indian are a mixt race in which the white blood is the least prominent element. In such countries the question of blood does not arise; a man's education and ability are of greater consequence than his parentage; they live in accordance with those precepts which we proclaim. Of this ancestry of theirs and its difference from ours, advocates of Pan-Americanism seem scarcely conscious. Of the treatment which we have advisedly accorded the Negro and Indian in this country they are discreetly silent. Here is the true obstacle in the way of Pan-Americanism. Brotherhood, social equality, a friendly intercourse between the countries is impossible at present on account of the race feeling in the United States between the white and Colored races. The Iidian, as such, has never been accorded legal status or privilege in the United States. A ward of the nation, he can neither own property, sue in the courts, nor become a citizen. This stigma on Indian blood must be washed off by naturalization precisely as if he were an alien, as if he had been born in Europe. As some of the better Indians have bitterly said, the scum of Europe are received with open arms, while the lords of the New World are thrust from their own firesides. While the Negro has technically had legal and civil equality for more than one-half century, a strenuous and successful fight has been waged in all those parts of the country where the Negro is a significant section of the population to deny him all the outward appearance of social equality. He must ride in a separate street-car, sleen in different hotels, sit in different parts of the theatre; intermarriage with the whites is in Europe; the Irishman and the Eng-Southern states the Negro has been practcally disfranchised; and when he commits a violent crime he is only too likely to be dealt with by a mob instead of by the courts. A sharp, definite line has been drawn between him and the white man. The difficulty would be less acute so far as Pan-Americanism is concerned if only we could discern some tendencies to soften this line, some probability that the determination of the white race to shove the Negro to one side was becoming less outspoken. Unfortunately the trend of events is to deepen the line between (Continued on Page 13.) 10 RAILWAYS AND HOTELS (By W. J.

Among them is one purporting to give a comparison of conditions as between Nebraska and Kansas. Evidently the committee is not wholly satisfied with the showing, for it makes this apologetic statement: "It should be remembered that Kansas has 54,030 Negroes. This accounts for some unfavorable conditions there." This is one of the contemptible tricks which the prohibition bunch is pulling off in this campaign. While some of these zealots are working to induce Colored men to vote for the so-called dry amendment, they are telling white voters that the insufferable conditions in Kansas are due to the presence of the Negro. In other words, they try to shift responsibility for the failure of prohibition on to the shoulders of the Colored men! The question is, can they put it over? THE NEBRASKA PROSPERITY LEAGUE E. D. Clopton, a southern Colored farmer from Monroe county, Mississippi, arrived in Omaha last week, rented a farm and expects to bring his family here in a short time. A representative of The Monitor called upon Mr. Clopton and asked him to explain just why so many Colored people are leaving the South. Mr. Clopton's testimony is as follows: "The train I left Mississippi on had ten coaches and were so filled with Colored people that many of us were forced to stand up for many miles. These people were distributed to Pittsburg, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. The reason of the exodus is that prohibition and the boll weevil have ruined the South. It is impossible for thousands of people, both black and white to make a living. All efforts to destroy the weevil have failed and the destruction is spreading rapidly. As to prohibition, it is doing great harm. It is ruining our young men and drunkenness has increased many fold. Crime is on the increase and the idleness enforced by the weevil pest only augments it. Labor conditions are such that Colored men can find no employment, the whites being themselves strictly up against it. If prohibition would mean here what it has meant in the South, I hope it will never be adopted." PROHIBITION IN COLORADO The following is taken from one of our Colorado exchanges. Think it over. "Now in regards to the conditions as found in Colorado since that state went dry. There are a few things that we want to add to the conditions that confronted the Colored people in that state now and after the drys won. THE MONITOR. In all of the hotels, clubs, restaurants, cafes and saloons where the Colored men and boys were employed as waiters, porters, bellboys, etc., conditions became so hard and dull that 1,164 Colored people were thrown out of employment, affecting 900 families. No work was furnished the Colored people in other lines because the Colored men are not employed, only the exceptions, in any lines than above named, and, as janitors. The men that would have given Colored men jobs in otner lines of work, saw to it that the thousands of white men that lost jobs because of the same reason, had to be cared for first—this soon put work at a premium, the Colored laborer being stranded. This is an actual condition. Colored people left Denver in hundreds because they were the greater losers. Colored people, who for the past decade have been forced to buy property in cities because of the great prejudice practiced against them in renting decent and desirable places to live in, have been unable to even keep up their payments because of non-employment, thus losing their money and homes. Yes, indeed, the Colored man was the greatest sufferer in Colorado because of prohibition, and there are still drunks in Colorado."

The disfranchisement of the Negro is becoming more complete. The tendency to deal with him harshly in the courts is certainly not lessened. Most recent and most discouraging of all is a definite attempt in many cities to rob him of the right to acquire property, to choose his residence. How is it possible that the advocates of Pan-Americanism should fail to appreciate the vital difficulty which our treatment of the Negro and the Indian creates in the path of an extension of brotherly relations with the Negroes, Indians and half-breeds of Latin-America? Do they not see that an equality of relations is not likely to be established on any basis which will not assure those peoples the same privileges in the United States which Americans expect to receive in Central and South America? No real friendship and comity will be possible until we shall advisedly alter our attitude toward the race question in the United States. At the present writing the probability of any such alteration in public feeling is so slight that the only aspect of Pan-Americanism likely to achieve importance as a practical issue is the extension of commercial relations and perhaps of judicial relations. Until we are ready to accord citizens of the southern republics social equality, all extension of relations with them will be diplomatic in character and neither fundamental nor permanent.

BALL One of the most pleasing events of our social season was the grand entertainment given at the Auditorium Thursday evening, October 26th, combining a band concert, moving pictures and military ball. A very large crowd attended, so large in fact that there was no apparent emptiness in the vast hall. A large number of whites were scattered among the audience and they, with our own people, spoke very highly of the entertainment afforded. The concert rendered by Omaha's premiere band was most excellent. The numbers were well chosen and well played. Classic, as well as popular, music made up the program and all present enjoyed the one as thoroughly as the other. Encore after encore was demanded and given, and no one but felt that the concert alone was worth the price of admission. The moving picture, "The Trooper of Company K," was most excellent in its wealth of action, but rather disappointing otherwise. After the second showing of the pictures the floor was cleared and the ball began. To the perfect music of the band, hundreds of couples danced to the music and four or fine encores were called for after each number. Subscribe for The Monitor. Charles W. Pool HYANNIS, NEBRASKA Secretary of State and Peoples Independent Tickets During the first 18 months of his term he collected $211,002.47 at a total expense of $16,803.08, leaving a net balance to the state for his services of $194,199.39, this being $67,404.94 more than was collected by his predecessor in a like period, and at $653.75 less expense. As a member of the Board of Educational Lands and Funds, he assisted in investing near $2,000,000 of state funds in interest bearing bonds. As a member of the Board of Assessment and Equalization he helped reduce the tax levy for 1915 and 1916 for state purposes $1,018,-412.33. Mr. Pool also assisted in raising the taxation of railroads in Nebraska $5,080,255 for 1916, this being the first raise given the corporations in many years. Secretary Pool has conducted his office on a basis of economy and efficiency never before enforced in that department. If elected to a second term he pledges his best efforts in the interests of the whole people of the state. JOHN B. BARNES Candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court Julge Barnes came to Nebraska in the spring of 1871, and commenced the practice of law in Ponca, in Dixon county. In 1875 he was elected district attorney of the Sixth Judicial District. He was re-elected and served in that capacity until January, 1879, when he was appointed district judge. He was elected in the fall of that year and served until Januarv 1, 1884. The judge then retired and entered the active practice of his profession. In January, 1901, he was appointed supreme court commissioner and was elected Judge of the Supreme Court in 1903. He has served in that capacity up to the present time. He has made a good record, always having his share of the work strictly up to date. The Judge is a veteran of the Civil War; is in perfect health, and is now a candidate for re-election. He should receive the support of the voters of this state. Reliable South STANEK'S PHARMACY Henry Stanek, Prop. PRESCRIPTION EXPERT Reliable South Side Merchants Cor. 24th and L Sts. Tel.

The Headquarters Building and the Commissary Department claim most of these men, but of course there are other departments, not counted as strictly local ones in which Colored men are employed. The Pullman company, for instance, operates through Omaha every day over the line of the Union Pacific scores of cars both of the Standard and Tourist class, each car in charge of a porter and without recourse to actual figures, it is fair to estimate that several hundred of these men headquarter in Omaha. Just recently have come to special notice a few men who stand out from among the others by means of more than ordinary service with the Union Pacific Railroad, and it is of these that particular mention is made. Charles Robinson is perhaps more deserving that any other of credit for faithful service. Until four years ago he was porter and chef for various officials, which places he had faithfully filled since entering the service in 1878. In recognition of his continuous service, the company pensioned him in 1912 and he now carries the distinction of being the only Colored pensioner among the more than three hundred that the Union Pacific carries upon its pension list. Back in 1888 Charley was in charge of private car of T. J. Potter, then vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific and it was in that year that he acted as special attendant upon Mr. Potter during his last illness. From then on to the time of his retirement, Robinson was a favorite around the headquarters, not only for his faithful services but partly by reason of his interesting past life, during his early career with the company and even before. He is a veteran of the Civil War, having acted as gunner on one of the lower Mississippi gun boats. While thus engaged, he had many thrilling escapades, having at one time, together with a number of companions, been cut off from communication with his boat. After wandering about in the wilderness for four or five days and without food, he was again joined to his company, but not until the most of his comrades had died of hunger and exposure. Although well past seventy years of age, Robinson is still very active, having settled down to a quiet life although such a thing is not easy for a man who has been continuously engaged in activities connected with private car work. Wm. J. Costen, private car porter, and W. W. Spenser, private car chef, enjoy the distinction of being attendants upon the last surviving general of the Civil War in his last railroad journey. These two men accompanied General Greenville M. Dodge on his final trip which was from New York City to Council Bluffs late in the year 1914. Both men have been in the service of the Union Pacific for upwards of twenty-five years, and while still comparatively young in years, have few ahead of them in length of service. In the dining car department are also a number of men who have been connected with the company for many years. Tom Riggs, chef, and Ed. Covington, waiter, are among the oldest in service but would space allow, others might be mentioned. THE MONITOR. The Union Pacific Railroad has always looked with pride upon its Colored employees and is endeavoring to show its appreciation by pensioning them upon reaching the age limit and placing them in as easy circumstances as possible and affording them every privilege of the pensioners' club rooms which are located in the Headquarters Building. Darrow Hits the Nail Oft Times on the Head. You can vote a town dry but not the people. Poverty, not drink, is the cause of crime in the world. If drink causes poverty every Prohibitionist should be a rich man. The Prohibitionist sets out to govern something else and not himself. Drinking is one of the personal habits each man must settle for himself. You can't change human nature at the polls, and you can't vote in happiness. If you want to cure a man of crime you must feed him and give him a chance. Three presidents of the United States were murdered by cranks—who were dry. Travis for District Judge.—Adv.

MORRISSEY CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION TO SUCCEED HIMSELF On the Non-Partisan Rallot The judiciary has been taken out of politics. 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.

General Race News 2 RACE PROBLEM HALTS WOMAN'S HUGHES CLUB St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 28.—East St. Louis is not going to have a Woman's Hughes-Fairbanks Club, as had been planned by Republican leaders among the women, because some of the more rabid decline to meet with the race women, according to rumors which have considerable grounds for substantiation. It is feared by political leaders of the east side, if the race women are not admitted to the club, they will not vote the Republican ticket. Mabel Craig Stillman of Chicago was in East St. Louis last week to aid in forming a club. A meeting was called for Saturday evening at the City Hall Auditorium, but it had to be postponed indefinitely. The Republican leaders claim the postponement was due to a dearth of speakers and could in no way be attributed to the color question. This is as firmly denied by our people in touch with the situation. WHITE TEAM MATES STAND PAT FOR COLORED PLAYERS Wabash, Ind.—Because the Toledo Glenwoods insisted on playing Full Back Frame, colored, in the game with the Wabash A. A. here Oct. 8, the locals refused to play and the visitors withdrew from the field before the game was called. When the Toledo team appeared on the field with the colored back the locals objected. Half an hour was spent in attempting to get the Glenwoods to play without their full back, but they refused and finally left the field. RACE MAN SUES FORD Chicago.—Elbert R. Robinson filed suit October 18th in the Federal District Court for $100,000,000 against the Ford Motor company. Robinson, who is a Colored man, sets forth that he originated and patented a core, used in the construction of car wheels and that the automobile concern has infringed his patents. The declaration asks for all profits and gains since the alleged infringement and damages of $100,000,000. Martha R. Cohen, a race woman of New Jersey, died recently and left her church and children an inheritance of $25,000. She made it as a washerwoman. Rev. James A. Bingaman, formerly of Omaha, and now of Shreveport, La., raised $1,250 in two weeks to remove the debt from his church, the Antioch Baptist. Jesse Persley, of Topeka, Kansas, has invented and patented a twine binder tractor. The mechanism is used in cutting wheat and oats, binds and lays aside the bundles as it glides through the fields. Lincoln A. Johnson, T. Thomas Fortune, Fred Moore, of the New York Age, Charles W. Anderson, Perry Howard, and Ralph Lungston, are the Colored men forming the Colored National Campaign committee at New York. Southern newspapers are beginning to print cartoons showing how hard they have been hit by the migration of Colored people to the North. THE MONITOR. In a new novel, Rainbow's End, by Rex Beach, a Negro, Sebastian, servant to Esteban Verona, is one of the leading characters. To him and his master alone were intrusted the secrets of the treasures of the old Spanish family of Verona, and their faithfulness to their trust is one of the strong points. The scene is laid in Cuba in the days of Weyler and Gomez. The Leopard Woman, a late novel by Steward Edward White, has its setting in the untracked African forests. Its narrative style is terse and vigorous, and its glimpses of African country and customs very illuminating. Over three thousand Colored people from the South came to Chicago last week. "Life's Demands, or According to Law," by Sutton E. Griggs, has been accepted by the Board of Education of Memphis, and is now being used in the public schools of that city for Colored people as a text book. The author is Colored. The Birth of a Nation was stopped in Cambridge, Mass., by the mayor after a strong protest from the Colored people of that city. The total registration of Memphis and Shelby county, Tenn., is 34,251, with one precinct still missing. Of the total registration, 12,208, are Colored, and this enormous registration has thrown consternation into the political prophets. The Colored voters are being strenuously schooled at night in order to learn how to vote the three-foot ticket, and it is expected that there will be some interesting results on election day. A large assortment of motor cars and automobile equipments were piled on an East River pier, New York, last week, consigned to the West African Coast. The days of glass beads are over and exporters say that the native African ladies are demanding silk stockings, fancy underwear and choice negligee. The Memphis Press (white) is much concerned over the Negro vote. Bob Church and other wealthy Colored politicians are spending great sums educating the voters, while the white republicans claim that they are not supplying the funds and that the Colored men have broken entirely away from their organization. Oma Houghton, who left North Carolina two weeks ago to seek his fortune in Boston, Mass., left a movie picture house one night last week. As he came out he jostled against two young Colored women and called them "nigger." The women had him arrested and in court he told the judge that down South they would have shaken hands with him for what he said. The judge, however, told him to dig up $300 or go to jail. He didn't have the three hundred, so he's in the jail house now. John Mitchell, a bright student, is a member of the Los Angeles High School orchestra.

JOHNS LAWYER --- Our Women and Children THE GREATER EVIL While good men and women every- where are busy fighting the liquor business; while the brain and muscle of the communities and sections are gradually freeing themselves from the deadly trammels of alcohol, another evil, far greater, a foul, malignant and dangerous disease a thing gro- tesquely hideous, is eating its can- cerous way into home and society. So- cial impurity, the greater evil, poisons the atmosphere and breathes conta- gion. It touches womanhood with the horror of despair and changes man from the image of God to an unclean demon. Social impurity is by far the greatest evil of our day. In front of our doors, adjoining our homes and churches are loathsome, vile places, standing like whitened sepulchres, beautiful without, while within is death, decay and buried hope. On the house in which is a contagious disease, a card of warning is nailed that those who enter do so at their own risk; it acts as a safe- guard to the community. The house of impurity, stands with no placard. How much safer it would be if these places were labeled that many inno- cent might know the risk of once en- tering and that we might cry out, “unclean, unclean.” Most children have a horror of the saloon, for the evils of strong drink are early taught but the dangers of the greater evil are usually left for them to find out for themselves. The drunkard may retain some generous impulse; some light from heaven may fall upon the nightmare of his dreams but they who fall into the ways of the greater evil carry ever their curse. Social impurity scorches the fresh- ness of youth, blights the bud of promise, and turns tender mercy into cruelty. Let the alarm be sounded, everywhere, let the danger signal be displayed that our young men and maidens may escape so frightful a doom.—L. S. E. THE TONGUE “The boneless tongue, so small and weak, Can crush and kill,” declared the Greek. “The tongue destroys a _ greater horde,” The Turk assers, “than does the sword.” The Persian proverb wisely saith, “A lengthy tongue—an early death.” Or sometimes takes this form instead: “Don’t let your tongue cut off your head.” “The tongue can speak a word whose speed,” Says the Chinese, “outstrips the steed.” While Arab sage doth impart: “The tongue’s great storehouse is the hearth.” From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung: “Though feet should slip, ne’er let the tongue. The sacred writer crowns the whole, “Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul.” —Rev. Philip Burrows Strong. SHOP NOTES FROM BURGESS-NASH Miss Sturgeon. ,»Disregarding all laws of supply, Fash- ion demands furs. Smart stoles and THE MONITOR. throws are the favored neckpieces with muffs in barrel or football shapes. A high stock collar with fluffy ja- bot to take away the severeness is a new novelty in neckwear. The new tea veils were designed with much consideration for Mi-Lady when she dines. Among the new ones is an attractive black veil cut in front to allow for eating without removing the veil. Embroidery in soft or vivid Indian colorings; wide pockets; long loose youthful lines, are the outsanding style features of the new street and afternoon dresses. Exquisite new gold and silver laces form an important part of the new jevening dresses. Tricot, duvetyn, broadcloth, and bur- ella cloth, are replacing serge in some of the one-piece dresses. NEGRO EMIGRATION FROM THE SOUTH The Negro emigration from the south to the north which Mr. Hyde predicted some months ago is a fact. At the Negro conference in Washing- ton last week it was said that 500,000 of the race had already left the south and were employed in other parts of the country. The shortage of labor caused by immigration stoppage is one reason for the exodus. Another is the great number of strikes and other industrial disturbances in the north. It is asserted that there is work now in the north for at least 2,000,000 Negroes if they can be induced to change their residence. That they are leaving their former homes in large numbers is shown by the news that the Montgomery, Ala., city council has passed an ordinance punishing by fine and imprisonment those who in- duce any laborer to leave the city. Of course, this ordinance would not stand the test of a real court, but the fact that councilmen can be persuaded to pass such manifestly unjust legis- lation shows to what straits employers in the south have been reduced. Nor will it prevent the Negro from seek- ing better employment. The law of supply and demand transcends any such opposition. The southerners have always said that the black man was their curse. They have denied him industrial equality and the franchise and yet when he tries to relieve them of his presence they seek by law to prevent his going. For good or ill the Negroes are changing the racial balance of popula- tion in the south and it is not likely so long as their fortunes are bettered that many will return there.—Chicago Tribune. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST CHURCH HAS SUCCESSFUL MONTH Another month of pleasant experi- ience has passed into history with the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, of which Rey. M. H. Wilkinson is pastor. Many things of importance have taken place. A tag day social was given on the 12th by the Doreas Kensington So- ciety, which brought in $41.35. On the 19th Mesdames M. H. Wil- kiison and D. W.

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.

Sedgwick Candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court dge Sedgwick has been a resident of Nebraska 38 years, all that time in the practice and judicial dispensation of the law. He is a strong and reliable legal authority. His record on the bench from the district court to his high present position has been of the highest order and his work is now practically all up to date. 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 COAL PRICES 6 Colored Poet Writes His Biography Colored Poet Writes His Biography By Ella W. Peattie, in Chicago Tribune. "In spite of the handicap" is the title which James D. Corrothers, the Colored poet, gives to his autobiography (George H. Doran company). Corrothers was born in southern Michigan and he confronted the problems which are the rather heavy inheritance of the Negro in the north. That they differ from those of the Negro in the south makes them no lighter. Ray Stannard Baker—another Michigan man—says in his preface: "The book throws much light on conditions with which few writers on the race question have dealt; I mean the problems which confront the abler and more intelligent Negroes, the leaders of their race, in their contact with their own people. Mr. Corrothers recognizes that the color line is only part, however important, of the great human situation which the Negro must face. And finally it is a book singularly without rancor; the book of a man who in spite of difficulties has maintained a cheerful and helpful outlook toward life." Mr. Corrothers certainly is entitled to this tribute. Bitter poverty, race prejudice, the handicap of insufficient education, the jealousy and littleness of his own people, the loss of his wife, the enmity of his bishop—for he became a clergyman—combine to make a story that would be tragic vere it not for the many compensations that came to him. Men and women of distinction were good to him, the best magazines printed his poetry, and life itself wore an alluring face because of his appreciation of every opportunity that offered and the essential courage that made him push on to new adventures. This is a bona fide human document of peculiar pathos and interest. PREJUDICE AMONG COLORED PEOPLE Last week Chicago furnished an excellent example of prejudice among our own people. The organ of the Independent A. M. E. Church went wrong and the trustees directed their pastor to have it fixed. Rev. L. C. Curtis, the pastor, went to the firm of Sidney T. Nimmo and Son, and asked that a man be sent out. Mr. Nimmo sent his son, but the son could not fix it. The firm then told the minister that they would send out a Colored employee who was an expert and could do the work. The minister replied that he wanted a white man and not a Colored man. Mr. Nimmo had the following to say: "I was astonished when he said he wanted a white man. I told him that he showed more prejudice against his own race thn a white man. I also told him that I always recognized a man by his ability and not by his color. The man I recommended, Walter Pinderhughes, has been in my employ for the past eight years, and is generally regarded as one of the best mechanics in his line in the city, of any race. His services have become indispensable to me and although he has received flattering offers to go elsewhere he has remained loyal. The minister asked me to recommend a white firm, but I refused."

CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE RECITAL Ruth Seay. The appearance of Mr. Clarence Cameron White; the noted Negro vio- linist, in a recital at Grove Church last Monday night, brought out the larg- est and most distinguished audience that has ever assembled at a recital of this kind. In this, Mr. White’s first appearance in Omaha, he won for himself a place in the hearts of music lovers. The wonderful quality of his tone, the mastery of his playing and his intellectual conception of the work, put him in the foremost ranks of the noted violinists of the day. As his first number, Mr. White played Scenes da la Csarda, by Jeno Hubay. This was interpreted in a very masterful way. Mr. White’s second group consisted of the Cradle Song, one of his own compositions, Orientale, by Caesar Cui, and Indian Lament, by Dvorak- Kreisler. The Cradle Song is full of enchanting melody and was played with exquisite sweetness and smooth- ness. The Orientale with its intox- icating rhythm and richness of local color, carried one into the enchanting and mystic beauties of the Orient. The passages were played with fine clearness and rare purity of tone. The Indian Lament, mingling a delicacy of tone and passage work and poetry of expression with beautifully imag- inative effects, followed and was most enthusiastically received. As an en- core Mr. White played Schumann’s Traumeri with muted strings. This was rendered with so much feeling that the audience demanded, by its generous applause, that he respond with another number. He then played his own arrangement of Auld Lang Syne a marvelously sweet combination of chords and harmonics, which thrill- ed and pleased. He closed his program with a bril- liant rendition of the Fantasie Caprice >‘y Henri Vieuxtemps. His every chord and octave was absolutely true, ind he played with the ease and ele- gance of the artist that he is. As an encore to this last number he played an arrangement of Negro Folk Songs. Mrs. J. Alice Stewart was accom- yanist for Mr. White and gave the artist capable support. Other numbers on the program were piano solo, L’Argentine Fantasie Ma- zurka, by Miss Ozelia Dunning; Some- where a Voice is Calling, vocal solo by Mr. Rufus Long; Ladies’ Quartet, The Rosary, by Mesdames Perry, Har- rold, Woodson and Johnson, and vocal solo, Awake, by Miss Irene Cochran. IOWA CLUB WOMEN’S FAIR A SUCCESS The United Colored Women’s Clubs of Iowa, of which Mrs. S. Joe Brown is president, had great success with their fair in Des Moines Wednesday night. The effort was to raise five hundred dollars to buy a picture of Booker T. Washington, which is to hang in the Art Hall of the Iowa State Capitol. More than the amount need- ed was raised, and the commission for the portrait has been given to Tanner, the famous Colored artist. Many white guests were present, among them Mr. and Mrs. Ingram, of the Des Moines Register and Leader, and all entered spiritedly into the bid- ding contest, which closed the fair. G. C. Young, a prospective Omahan, act- od as auctioneer and passed the $500 mark amid cheers of the club women. Boost for The Monitor and The Monitor will boost for you.

As we have before stated, our own honest conviction is that the best interests of the nation will be conserved by the return of a republican administration to power. This, we believe, first as an American citizen, and secondly as Colored American citizen. Whatever may be the faults of republicans, and we frankly state that their supiness as touching our rights as citizens, in late years at least, has been reprehensible, we must admit that whatever privileges as a special race-group we enjoy have been secured for us by the republican party. The Wilson administration has shown that nationally we cannot support a democratic administration. Nebraska republicans have nominated a good state ticket. The same is true in the main of judicial, county and city nominees. There is no reason, therefore, why they, with two or three notable exceptions, should not receive our vote from Governor down. A candidate's attitude on the prohibitory amendment, which is a separate issue, has nothing to do with his qualification for office. Men who are friendly and fair to us ought to receive our vote. Those who are unfriendly should not receive our vote. Every man's vote will be needed on election day. It is our duty to go to the polls and vote. For the guidance of our readers, The Monitor publishes the ticket which we believe our people ought to support. Read it over carefully and mark your sample ballot accordingly. Concentrate our vote. Don't scatter the fire. VOTE AGAINST FOSTER We are opposed to Charles E. Foster for police judge because of his insolence and unfairness to our people. This is not from hearsay only, but from personal experience. We were asked by an officer if we would be willing to take an interest in a certain woman with a police record and see what we could do to get work for her and help her reform. We consented to do what we could. Her case was in the police court. The officer explained to Judge Foster that we were willing to try to help this woman reform. He looked at us with a frown, as though we were charged with a crime, and said in a most insolent manner: "What do you think you can do with this woman?" Our reply was: "We don't know what we can do; but if she is willing to try to do right, we are willing to try to help her." The woman was released and went to work. It was his insolent tone and manner THE MONITOR MONITOR the civic, social and religious interests vicinity, with the desire to contribute building of the community. Every Saturday.

Webster 4243. to us that we resented and resent now, and verified what we had heard about him. A few months ago Mrs. Alice B. Smith went to see him about her dog which it was alleged had bitten a child. This was substantially his language to her: "I've heard enough about that dog. See that door? You get right out of here." Her reply was: "Well, Judge Foster, I think you might at least be a gentleman." Judge Foster may be elected, but we want him to understand that it will not be by our vote and that we are opposing him openly and frankly because of his insolence and attitude to our people. We urge our people to vote for Fitzgerald for police judge instead of Foster. We are for George A. Magney for county attorney. His fairness, justice and courtesy while he has held his present office has won the admiration and esteem of all who have come in contact with him. He has conducted the affairs of his office conscientiously and efficiently. We urge our people to vote for George A. Magney for county attorney. OMAHA SCHOOL BOARD It is a noteworthy fact that heretofore many men have been elected to membership on the Omaha School Board who did not make good to the people of this community, and some of our readers may recall charges preferred and sustained some years ago, when some of the members were convicted of accepting money from those interested in furnishing school supplies of different sorts. Since then a more determined effort has been made by the fathers and mothers to obtain the services of men who had the interests, not only of the taxpayers, but also of the boys and girls, at heart, and they have had a reasonable measure of success along that line. This year, owing to a change made by the last Legislature, we are to elect eight men to co-operate with the four holding over, who are Robert Cowell, Thomas A. Fry, I. W. Carpenter and C. J. Ernst, and so the citizens of Omaha, both men and women, have succeeded in obtaining the consent of eight of the best known business and professional men of Omaha, whose names are mentioned in the advertisement in this issue. Not one of these men is asking for the position, but each one realizes that he has a duty to perform to the city of Omaha, and is willing to serve for a term. It behooves the voters to go to the polls on November 7th and cast their votes for the eight members of the Citizens' School ticket. Frank Dewey has always had a colored clerk in his office. He is the kind of man we need. GEORGE A. MAGNEY. VOTE THIS TICKET For President CHARLES E. HUGHES For Governor ABRAHAM LINCOLN SUTTON For U. S. Senator JOHN L.

Give heed to my admonitions and let my words sink deep through thy cranial bones. 3. When thou trottest toward the polls election day, many will be the men who shall greet thee with the happy mitt and gladful smile. Each will tell thee that he hath the only dope and that if thou wilt vote as he saith, thy life will be filled with joy. 4. He will slip thee three thousand feet of paper and bid thee carry it to the small booth. Then another will hand thee three thousand more feet and so forth until thou needest a van. Cards, too, wilt thou acquire until thy pockets bulge with elaphantiasis. 5. Meet thou these men with a smile and take what they have to offer, but when thou gettest on the inside, DUMP! 6. Carry thou in thy inside pocket The Monitor page and give heed to it as thou markest down the heavy crosses. 7. On this page thou wilt find the list of thy friends tried and true, for thou canst not afford to vote for any other. 8. These men, if elected, will remember thee and thine and will always wear the smile that won't rub off. 9. Give thy vote to them and in the days to come thou wilt not need to kick thyself and cry "Never again!" Will N. Johnson must be elected public defender. Show your race pride and loyalty by voting for him. Emmett G. Solomon is a man we can count on. Of course you are going to vote for him. Election Day. Omaha, Nebr., Oct. 31, 1916. Editor Monitor: Dear Sir—The stand that you have taken in politics and upon the liquor question meets with my hearty approval, in fact, they are the views long held by me. Before our ballots are cast, or ready to be cast, I venture the prediction that they will be marked almost, if not alike. In my loyalty to the principals of the republican party I yield to no man, and the election of Mr. Hughes for the presidency, John L. Kennedy for U. S. senator and Ben S. Baker for congress, A. L. Sutton for governor, is my dearest and fondest hope; but, as your editorial in a recent issue stated, in the selection of men for local offices it would not be the mark of good citizenship to vote our ticket straight. A notale instance is in the selection of a county attorney, and police judge; I regret to have occasion to say that the republican nominees for these two offices are not as well qualified for the positions as their democratic opponents, George A. Magney and James M. Fitzgerald. I have known personally every man who has filled the office of county attorney of this county since the office was created, and while they were all men of marked ability, yet I say without fear of successful contradiction, that no man ever filled that office with such universal satisfaction as George A. Magney, the present incumbent. He is able, fair, honest, conscientious, charitable and broad minded, all colors and creeds are alike to him. Such an official is seldom found in public office, and should be retained. I shall do my part toward his re-election. The office of police judge has become one of the most important offices in our big aid growing city, and should be filled by a man broad of vision and capable of sympathizing with down-and-outs who through lack of strength have fallen by the wayside. He should also be mild mannered and courteous. In this, as in many other essentials, our present police judge, Foster, is lacking. Mr. Fitzgerald, the democratic candidate, is a man possessing all and every requirement necessary for a police judge of a metropolitan city, and should be elected. ED. F. MOREARTY. OBVIOUS OBSERVATIONS Indian summer has finally hit town, but don't forget that American winter is a close companion. Travis for District Judge.—Adv. Omaha is one of the best towns in the country for the Colored race, and if you want to keep it so make a great big cross after 301. Albert E. Cornish belongs to the Cornish family of Omaha. He has sustained the family tradition for justice and right. We need such men on the supreme bench. Did you see the "enthusiastic" Democratic automobile demonstration last Saturday? We thought it was a funeral until we noticed they didn't have a hearse. We understand, howevah, that the hearse has been ordered for next Wednesday. Travis for District Judge.—Adv. We know that every Colored man is going to vote for Will N. Johnson, but be sure that your white neighbor is going to do the same.
