AUDIENCES WELL PLEASED The Alhambra Theatre, the house of courtesy, which is justly popular with movie patrons, was filled at every performance last Saturday when the special attraction was "The Law of Nature," starring Noble M. Johnson and Albertine Pickens, and presented by a full cast of Negro actors. This is the third film to be released by the Lincoln Motion Picture Company (Incorporated) of Los Angeles, Cal., an ambitious and progressive race enterprise featuring race plays, and this was the first presentation in Omaha. The audiences, for there were several, and the number who witnessed it, ran up into the hundreds, were delighted. The Monitor congratulates the Lincoln Company on the progress it has made. It does this most sincerely, because it always pleases a critic more to approve a thing than to disapprove. This is especially so when the object of criticism is struggling to attain the perfection of real art. What was said in this paper about "The Trooper of Troop K," the second release of the Lincoln Company, was not pleasing to those interested in the film because it was held that unmerited praise should have been given on the grounds that it was a race enterprise struggling to win a place in a new and difficult field. The Monitor could have done so, but to have done so would not have been justice to either the readers or the film. Just criticism is that which best furnishes energy for labor and improvement. Between the second release and the third, "The Law of Nature," there is no comparison. One was crude in all but action; the latter is crude in nothing. The one merely attempted to preserve a striking historical event, while the other wrests from human life itself a story worth telling. It is the old triangle plot woven again of the material furnished in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve and the Serpent made their debut upon the human stage. It is interesting because race men and women take part and because it spells out a lesson that touches our race as closely as it touches any other, the law of retribution. The picture would be more complete did it show that the man had to pay for his fun as the woman did for her folly. "The Law of Nature" is a most excellent picture, the western scenery being truly magnificent, and one that every race man and woman should see because it is inspiring, and makes one really proud that our people can appear on the screen in real drama. The acting is natural and because natural, fine. "The Law of Nature" is the best THE MONITOR yet and shows not only the progress made, but the possibilities before our people in the silent drama, in which field the Lincoln company is pioneer and Noble M. Johnson the chief luminary in lighting the way. MADAM ANITA PATTI BROWN CAPTIVATES AUDIENCE Music lovers of Omaha enjoyed a rare treat Tuesday evening when Anita Patti Brown, the famous Chicago singer, made her initial appearance before a local audience at the Grove M. E. Church. Her charming stage presence, fascinating personality and rich, cultivated voice captivated her audience from the start. Her first number, which was the famous Jewel song from "Faust," by Gounod, proclaimed her as an artist. Her second number was the mad scene from "Lucia di Lammermoor," and this was most sympathetically interpreted. Her third number consisted of a quintet of songs, which showed great variety. They were: "O liete suel della Turena," by Meyerberg; "Deep River," by Burleigh; "Four Leaf Clover," by Brownell; "Hush-a-Bye," by Bond, and "Wake Up," by Phillips. Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston was fortunately secured as the accompanist and her skill at the piano won the unstinted praise and admiration of all. Miss Mattie Childs played most acceptably a brilliant piano solo; Mrs. Silas Johnson rendered as a piano solo Mozart's difficult "Fantasia in D minor," and Mrs. Maude Brown pleased the audience with her rendition of "How Lucy Blackslid," by Dunbar, and a witty encore. Miss Mary A. Logan, manager of the delightful affair, in a neat, brief speech told of the church's aim to bring cultivated members of the race before Omaha audiences. Should Anita Patti Brown ever visit Omaha again she can confidently count upon a crowded house. DUNBAR'S GRAVE NOW MARKED BY PLATE Dayton, Ohio.—The birthday of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, June 27, was marked by the announcement of the reorganization of the commission which has in hand the establishment of a series of scholarships to bear his name. Vacancies have been filled and the following officers elected: Brand Whitlock, president; Dr. W. S. Scarborough, vice president; the Rev. Davis W. Clark, 31 West Cedar street, Boston, Mass., corresponding secretary; William R. Craven, vice president; Dayton Savings and Trust Company, treasurer. The commission brought a central lot in a Dayton cemetery and transferred Dunbar's remains to it, marking the grave with a natural boulder and bronze plate. The first scholarship has been assigned to Wilberforce, in Dunbar's native state. Paul Laurence Dunbar Murphy, the poet's nephew, whom he intended to educate, is to be the first incumbent. OMAHA. NEBRASKA. AUGUST 4, 1917 The Attitude of the American Negro---1917 Williams Pickens, Dean of Morgan College, Contributes Thought-Compelling Article to Southwestern Christian Recorder. There is no question as to the Negro's patriotism or loyalty. But the mistake is being made by a misrepresentation of the mind of the Negro which is back of this patriotism. The last year or two of the great war has discovered an unprecedented thing—unprecedented except by the spirit of the Negro himself during the Civil War; namely, that America's least privileged and most persecuted class proves to be in a critical time its most dependable citizenship. For several seasons now every white man in America has been watching every other white man—but nobody has felt the need of watching the American Negro. To be sure, a false alarm was recently started in the South about German plotting among Negroes, but those of us who know the South knew at once what that alarm meant. It signified, not a fear of genuine fear of the Negro's growing industrial and economic opportunities which the great war has brought him. This alarm, which is the most treacherous thrust that has been made at the Negro in recent years failed—it failed against the solid fact of the Negro's loyalty, past and present. The South, which has fooled the world about the Negro in almost every other particular, which has made the North believe that he is a characteristic rapist, that he is unprofitable labor, that he is unreliable as a machine operator and that he is an undesirable in almost every other capacity—this historic traducer of its helpless Negroes, after being backed even by high official "confirmation," failed utterly to stir the blood of the nation with the scare-crow Negro disloyalty. Such is the universal and unconsciously acquired confidence in the Negro as an American! Needs No Watching. But singularly enough, the peoples who have been highly favored above the Negro are the classes who are now deemed worthy of suspicion—those who have been permitted to buy a house on any corner, who have been permitted to live in any part of our cities, who have been admitted to work in any business or industry, who have not been disfranchised but who have been jubilantly naturalized as fresh recruits, for the ghost or fetish called "white civilization," the people who have not been "Jim-Crowed" or hanged without trial or burned at the state (behold ye gods!), these are the peoples whom the nation watches when the nation's security is threatened. But the Negro, whose ancestry, by the way, was American long before that of the great majority of our white people and whose record of loyal service has been uniform and unvarying, is the only class upon whom all of these abuses have been heaped—and yet, by the reluctant confession of his worst enemies, he is the class of all classes not needing to be watched. The Anomaly. The anomaly: Although the Negro's dependableness is the best attested fact in America today, he is the one man not enthusiastically welcomed in our preparations for war. We wish to get along without him if we possibly can. To be sure we have left the door ajar so that the Colored brother can be called, as usual, when sorely needed. Meanwhile some of us are between the devil and the deep blue sea; we must either send the Negro to the glory of the trenches of France, or we must permit him the gain of becoming further intrenched in our home industries—and we feel that either trench will have a mighty elevating influence on the American Negro's status. What could be more effective than the Negro in Europe, freeing big-souled France, glorifying America and establishing democracy in the world? On the other hand, what could be of more solid gain to the Negro race in the United States than to be permitted by the incident of war and the iron law of necessity to work in the great industries of America and prove that he can do satisfactorily the very things which his enemies have for fifty years shouted and maintained that he could never be relied upon to do? For the Negro it is a case of "heads, I win! tails, you lose!" What the Negro's real enemy really fears is not the race's fondly catalogued vices, but its virtue. Not Unthinking Docility. We repeat that although there is no question as to the Negro's loyalty in the present crisis, those are in wide error who are taking his loyalty for blind impulse or unthinking docility, like the loyalty of the dog or the horse. The masses of the race are thinking as they never thought before and they are loyal only for the same reason that any other group of men in the world is loyal to anything; because they think that their best group interests are bound up in the thing to which they are loyal. As to whether the Negro would be loyal if he were absolutely convinced to the contrary must be answered in hypothesis by the same answer which would be given for any other group of normal beings on earth. He is certainly not loyal to disfranchisement, "Jim-Crowism" and lynch law, but he follows the star of America in spite of those evils and with the deliberate intention and fond hope of overthrowing them. In such a situation the Negro must, of course, continually face dilemmas; he has had to be a strike-breaker to get a job, he has had to go to a separate and inferior school system to escape ignorance, and he has had to dissect the body of Christ in order to enter the church and the kingdom of heaven; in the same spirit he would accept a separate military training camp, that some of his college-trained men might get commissions in the army and serve their country more effectively than as mere "cannon fodder." It is not strange that in the last named dilemma the majority of his leaders and friends endorsed the camp idea; but it is significant that, while some of his leaders and friends consciously opposed it, all of his worst enemies consistently opposed it. Those who favored it do not favor discrimination, but they seized that horn of the dilemma which lends a future advantage—to gain a height from which they could deal segregation a heavier blow. His enemies also saw this and opposed it unanimously. Aims One; Methods Differ. This explains the frequent appearance of a lack of union among American Negroes. It is plain to an insider; they are perfectly united in aim and ambition, and they differ only in method and policy. The difference is due to their peculiar situation; no other group of people in the round world is brought oftener face to face with a dilemma, where the choice is, not between an evil and a good, but between two evils. A choice between evils is a more disintegrating question than any choice between unmixed evil and a definite good. "Which is the lesser evil?" This puzzling dilemma is at the bottom of many of the apparent differences among Negro leaders, whose hearts and souls are perfectly united in ambition and aim and object. The only solution of this difficulty is conference, frequent and widely representing conference—a periodic congress of the American Negro. As a matter of group interests, the conclusions of these conferences should be loyally supported and individual opinion submerged. This is the meaning of efficiency. The best prepared agency to take this lead is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What He Will Do. What will the Negro do in the present war? As a people he will not make profuse professions of loyalty, but he woll stand wholeheartedly by the American Union, as he has always stood by it—if it were attacked by a foreign foe or if it were assailed by rebellion. He will not forget his wrongs, but he will also not overvalue them against his faith in the future; he will fight for America in order to fight better and more consistently for his share in America. Of course some of his leaders, who have a personal and, perhaps, an otherwise legitimate interest in pleasing the public, may sometimes speak as if the Negro is possessed of unconditional and unthinking loyalty; but, after all, the clean truth is the only safe and permanent basis of peace and understanding and co-operation between races. If the Negro is willing to fight and die, you may be sure that it is not with the intention of strengthenink the arm of oppression. The American Negro is a normal human being like other men; the Irish will fight our battles and seek thereby to enlist our influence in behalf of chastised Ireland; the Russian people died in the snowy trenches under the standard of autocracy, but hailed with delight the opportunity to hoist above it the standard of democracy. Furthermore, this is the American Negro's home; all that he has, all that he hopes, is here. And if his house gets afire, he will help to extinguish the flames even if they were started by thieves. In the present situation he is faced not only by a dilemma but by an embarrassment. His saner and safer leadership cannot be profuse and loud in professions of loyalty and support, because there is a consciousness of the fact that he will be summoned to arms only by necessity, and even then reluctantly. Self-respect makes his loyalty dumb but does not destroy it. He hates war, too, on its own horrible account, and deplores the present blood sacrifice in Europe, although he knows that it has given him a better chance to work and earn his bread in the United States than he would otherwise have gotten in a hundred years. And in the present struggle he will prove to be the finest asset of our nation, whether at work or at war. What the Sphinx Would Say. If this sphinx of an American Negro spoke and dared to speak, this is what he would say: Let our country get into sincere harmony with the great spirit of democracy which she professes to defend; let her avoid the mistakes of some of her allies and begin by self-purgation, and not find the expulsion of evil geniuses necessary amid the trenches and the flames of war. Let the Congress of the United States set the example for all the States by not only ceasing to agitate for "Jim-Crowism" and segregation, but also by the repeal of all laws whose intent or effect is to restrict the freedom of and to discriminate against any class or group of American citizens. Let the laws be enforced alike for all who obey them and alike against any who violates them. Let the President and Congress of the United States enforce the Constitution by supervising interracial relation; which is, after all, not a State or local matter like the transfer of property and the enforcement of contracts between individuals, but is one of the larger national matters, like interest, commerce and the mails. Let fear subside and reason rule. And if any timid soul fears that such a state of civilization and equality may tend to force upon anydoby amalgamation or any other such non-desideratum, let the Congress make for that soul's sake a law to this effect: That every person in these United States is forbidden to marry any other person without that other person's consent; for the only just ground for marriage is the consent of the married—and no one is fit to marry another one without that other one's consent. A Nobler America Will Emerge. Out of the struggle America should come forth nobler and freer, else the discipline of Providence is vain. She should gain as much as Ireland or France or Russia. We wish not that our country should fight the battles of democracy and yet fail to purge her own life and to raise the estate of her loyal citizens. The Negro is a man, a real normal man, and is controlled by the motives which control men. He will not fail to sense an advantage, and will act upon it. And if the forward march of democracy is to include him, America can count forever on the loyalty of his legious. If he is given a man's chance in this country and is offered a soldier's chance in this war, we will meet again in 1918, or 1919, or both, to present to a black hero, returning from some quarter of the world, the Spingarn medal for having advanced the standard and defended the honor of the Star-Spangled Banner.

No. 5 (ole No. 109) Fifteen Thousand Negroes March Through Streets of New York to Sound of Muffled Drums. A MUTE APPEAL FOR JUSTICE New York, July 30.—As a protest against the lynching of Negroes and the burning of their homes in East St. Louis, Waco, Tex., and Memphis, Tenn., 15,000 Negroes, walking to the beat of muffled drums, paraded in Fifth avenue from Fifty-seventh street to Madison square yesterday afternoon. It was a silent protest, the men, women and children in the procession having been instructed to march without talking. Their messages were conveyed on banners. Some of them read: "So Treat Us That We May Love Our Country; Give Us a Chance to Live; Thou Shalt Not Kill; Repelled by the Unions, We Are Called Scabs; Race Prejudice Is the Offspring of Ignorance and the Mother of Lynching; The Great Contradiction—Love of God and Hatred of Man; We Are Maligned as Lazy and Murdered When We Work; Pray for the Lady Macbeth of East St. Louis." Heading the parade were Sergeant Thomas Byrnes and an escort of mounted policemen of Traffic Squad C. Captain W. H. Jackson was marshal and with him were the Rev. Dr. Hutchins Bishop, the Rev. F. Cullen, J. W. Johnson, the Rev. Dr. Charles D. Martin, F. Mottley, J. S. Nail and Rev. E. S. Daniel, the executive committee of the parade organization. A delegation of Negro Boy Scouts formed part of the children's section. They carried banners. Following them was an emergency ambulance corps with trained Negro nurses in attendance. Many of the men marchers were in the khaki uniform of the United States army and walking among them were a few gray-haired soldiers of civil war days. In this section were banners calling attention to some of the race's accomplishments. "The first blood for American independence was shed by a Negro" one banner read. "We are first in France—ask Pershing" was another. And "Ten thousand of us fought in the Spanish-American war." The silent protest parade made a profound impression upon New York. CHEERFULNESS, KINDNESS AND COURTESY Little as one may think so, gloominess and grouchiness are terrible handicaps. We owe it to ourselves and others to cultivate cheerfulness, kindness and courtesy. There's grouchiness enough in the world without your being a grouch. Cut it out. Substitute cheerfulness, which will of necessity beget kindness, and that in its turn must breed courtesy.

Kansas and Oklahoma Oil Fields Amaze the World The nation depends upon Oklahoma and Kansas for its high grade oil from which gasoline and other light oils are refined. Oklahoma is producing over one-third (1-3) of the crude oil from which gasoline is made in the United States. If the Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields were to suddenly shut down, one-half of the automobiles in the United States would have to stop running. The great automobile industry is, in a way, dependent upon Oklahoma oil fields. OKLAHOMA is producing almost twice as much oil as all of the states east of the Mississippi River — more than Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana combined. Considering the above facts, is it strange that OKLAHOMA & KANSAS OIL MEANS MILLIONS, or that hundreds of Oklahoma oil companies are making fortunes for their shareholders? The wonder of it never ceases. Almost every day you read of men, or groups of men, or companies selling their holdings for millions of dollars. Recently the report was published of the McMann Oil Company, which sold out part of its production to the Magnolia Oil Company for the vast sum of $35,000,000. Just a few days ago the press and oil journals reported the sale of the B. B. Jones property in the Oklahoma field for $7,000,000. A fortnight ago the Hill Oil and Gas Company sold their holdings in Oklahoma oil fields to the Cosden Oil and Gas Company for $12,000,000. The Farmers Oil and Gas Company has holdings in these wonderful producing oil fields. It is now selling 400 square feet lots, giving a title in fee simple, guaranteeing the title forever, to the purchaser of the said deed. These lots are selling now at ten dollars and will soon be doubled in price, due to the newly discovered oil wells around this property. You better get down to the ground floor and invest AT ONCE!

Church Sunday Schools are pinching in Elmwood park today. Little Mildred Williams of 5422 South Twenty-seventh street was given a birthday surprise party by her mother last Saturday afternoon. There were about forty-two children present. The afternoon was spent in games on the lawn, after which refreshments were served. All the little folks enjoyed themselves nicely. Little Ruth Adams is spending this week in the country, south of Ralston. The Bethel Baptist Mission Circle met last Thursday with Miss Thomas, Thirty-second and U streets. The Allen Chapel Aid was entertained last Friday afternoon by Mrs. Sadie Stapleton. The ladies are still busy sewing for their bazaar. The Aid will have "a feast in the wilderness" August 9. All are invited to attend. DEATH OF ALBERT N. WADE After an illness of six months, Albert N. Wade, one of Omaha's oldest and most highly respected citizens, died at his late residence, 2501 Patrick avenue, late Tuesday night. Mr. Wade was a native of Philadelphia. For a number of years he worked at his trade, that of barbering, in Cleveland, Ohio, among his patrons being Mark Hanna and other distinguished men of that city. About thirty years ago he came to Omaha where he followed his trade until four years ago when he gave it up for employment at the Court House. Among his customers and friends were many of Omaha's most prominent citizens. A true gentleman always, he and the faculty of making friends. He was one of the oldest and most devoted members of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, from which he was buried Friday afternoon, interment being in Forest Lawn, the Rev. John Albert Williams officiating. The Western Undertaking Company had charge of the funeral. Mr. Wade is survived by his widow. PAXTON BOYS WIN OUT About ten days ago the Colored waiters at the Paxton hotel came to work at noon and found that white waitresses had taken their places. The boys took the affair as a matter of course, having expected it for some time, but what nettled them was that the girls were paid more, given board and a nice dressing room on the first floor. But the girls didn't last long. The guests issued an ultimatum that if the Colored boys didn't come back they would leave. The manager called the boys to make noon the next day, but he found the boys were not so anxious to work as he thought. Their answer was that they would be at the hotel at 3 o'clock and talk over terms, and they made their own terms. They demanded $35 per month, board, a remodeled dressing room, increased pay for captains and the hiring back of their own headwaiter, George Watson. The only reason the boys didn't ask anything more was that they couldn't think of anything more. The chances are that the Paxton will not try to "hand" the Colored boys anything soon again. N. W. C. A. NOTES The N. W. C. A. held a large meeting at the Home Wednesday morning.
