$2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Brutality of Mob is Inconceivable Special Investigator of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People Submits Report to Governor of Georgia. WILSON ALSO GIVEN FACTS Eleven Persons Were !'gnched for Crime of One Man—The Gruesome Story of Mary Turner's Murder and That of Her Unborn Babe Unmatched by Anything in the Annals of Savagery. NEW YORK.-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, announces that the names of two ring-leaders and fifteen other participants in one of the mobs which lynched the first two of the eleven victims of the five days lynching orgy, which took place in Brooks and Lowndes counties, Georgia, from May 17 to May 22, were put before Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, in person by Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the association, who spent four days in South Georgia investigating the affair. A full report of Mr. White's findings, which were of a sensational character, were at the same time placed before Governor Dorsey. The summary of the association's report which follows below states that eleven authenticated cases of lynching instead of six as reported in the press at the time, were discovered by their investigator. The report describes the lynching of Mary Turner, the wife of one of the first victims, which was most revolting and brutal. The eleven persons lynched met their fate as the result of mob frenzy, following the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer, and the wounding of his wife, on May 16. One of the men lynched is said by the association to have stated to several persons interviewed by Mr. White, that he alone did the shooting and that no others were implicated. The association says that Mr. White's findings were submitted to Governor Dorsey at the latter's request on July 10 and that a copy was mailed the president for his information a few days ago. In making public the results of the assistant secretary's investigations into the South Georgia lynchings, Mr. Shillady, the secretary said that the association was gratified beyond measure at the recent magnificent pronouncement of President Wilson in condemnation of the mob spirit and lynching. "The association appreciates," said Mr. Shillady, "as perhaps no other organization in the country can, the full meaning of the danger which President Wilson seeks to avoid when he calls upon the governors of all the states, the law officers of every community, and above all, the men and women of every community in the United States * * * to make an end to this disgraceful evil." "The lynching of Negroes," said Mr. Shillady, "has become so much a habit in certain sections of our country that the president's prestige was needed to give impetus to the movement to overcome it. Governor Dorsey, who in his message to the Georgia legislature on July 3 denounced mob violence in strong terms, and the state of Georgia are now challenged to measure up to President Wilson's great appeal. In one memorable sentence President Wilson has put it squarely up to each community. As the president says, "it (lynching and mob violence) cannot live where the community does not countenance it." A summary of the report follows: "Instead of six victims of the mob which ranged over Brooks and Lowndes counties from May 17 to May 22, eleven authenticated cases were discovered during an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer of Brooks county, Ga., and the wounding of his wife near Barney, Ga., on May 16, and of the lynchings which followed. Press dispatches at the time named Will Head, Will Thompson, Hayes Turner, Mary Turner, his wife; Eugene Rice and Sidney Johnson, the latter of whom had stated before he was captured to several persons interviewed that he alone was implicated in the affair and that the five who had previously been lynched (the five already named) were not involved in it. Five additional victims were THE MONITOR found, Chime Riley, Simon Schuman, and three unidentified Negroes whose bodies were taken from the Little river just below Quitman, Ga., about a week after they had been lynched. Negroes of the neighborhood told the investigator that there were eighteen victims, but no more than eleven could be authenticated. "More than 500 Negroes have left the region since the outbreak so that a number of Negroes who were said by acquaintances to have mysteriously disappeared could not be located nor their whereabouts ascertained and are not included in the investigator's findings. Hundreds of acres of once productive lands are now overrun with weeds and dozens of farm houses and cabins deserted by their former occupants despite the threats involved in the statements of the mobs that any Negro attempting to leave the region would be considered to be involved in the killing of Smith. "Chime Riley was lynched and clay turpentine cups, used to catch the gum when turpentine trees are cut, was tied to his body and the body thrown into the Little river, near Barney, Ga. Simon Schuman was called out of his house near Berlin, Ga., on the Moultrie road, at night and has not been seen since. The interior of his house, as well as the furniture, was completely demolished. "The story of Mary Turner's fate was related to the investigator by men who affirmed that they were present at her death and is related with every desire to avoid the gruesome except as is necessary in giving the facts. "Mary Turner, wife of Hayes Turner, who had been reported by the press as having been lynched because of 'unwise remarks' concerning the lynching of her husband and who was approaching confinement, was tied by the ankles and hung head downward. Gasoline was taken from the automobiles of the lynching party and poured on her clothing which was then burned from her person. After her clothes had burned off she was disembowled and her unborn child fell from her womb and while still alive was crushed by the heel of a member of the mob. The woman's body was riddled with bullets from high-powered rifles until it was unrecognizable. She was 'buried ten feet from the tree and at head of her grave was placed a whisky bottle with a cigar stump in the neck of it. A photograph of the grave as described is in the possession of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People." MAKE RECORD BAYONETING FOE—FRENCH CALL FOR MORE London, Aug. 115.—Officers from the front bring astonishing reports of the work done by American Negro troops brigaded with General Gouraud's army, east of Rheims. Their speciality is the bayonet, in use of which they excel all others, and they have piled up a score with this weapon in killing Germans, which breaks all previous records. French officers are delighted with their prowess, and will welcome fresh Negro drafts to work alongside their own men. COUNTY HAS NO MEN TO FILL ORDER Shelby, Mont.—Toole county has been called upon for three Colored registrants to go toward making up the next contingent of Colored men from this state. This puts Sheriff Alsup in a perplexing position in view of the fact that there are no Colored men in the county and he is at a loss as to how he is going to fill the requisition. RECEIVES APPOINTMENT Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 15—Elmo Moles Anderson, the only son of Col John Anderson, a mail carrier of Pittsburg, has been appointed assistant field secretary of the western camps with headquarters at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas. He will have full charge of plans for all religious, social and educational needs of the Colored soldiers in camp. Galveston, Tex.—Rev. Elijah C. Branch was arrested and fined $100 and given 30 days in jail because he advanced money to people of his race who desired to go North to better their condition. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 17, 1918 Texas Newspaper Gives $100,000 For Suppression of Lynching Publishers of the San Antonio Daily Express Have Set Aside Sum of $100,000 to Be Employed as Rewards—National in Its Scope—$1,000 Where Mob's Victim Is Colored and $500 When Mobocratic "Kultur" Claims White Victim—Recommendation of Colonel George W. Brackenridge, One of the Most Humanitarian Philanthropists in the Entire Nation—Will Be in Effect Five Years. HOW FUND WILL BE USED The anti-lynching fund of the San Antonio Express will be employed in this manner: A reward of $500 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent conviction and punishment, of any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching, or in putting through the lynching itself, when the individual lynched was not a Negro. A reward of $1,000 will be paid in such cases when the victim of the lynching was a Negro. The difference in amounts of rewards, as between the lynching of Negroes and of others, is due to the fact that a large majority of the crimes of lynching have Negroes as their victims. Therefore, the larger reward and the more stringent measures should be applied to the more prolific phase of this evil. This offer of reward will be in effect for a period of five years, and applies to all persons, whether officers of the law or private citizens. The publishers of the San Antonio Express have established and set aside a fund of $100,000 to be used in combatting the crime of lynching in this country; thereby to aid in stamping out the lawlessness and violence of the mob. At the latest meeting of the stockholders of the Express Publishing Company, August 1, it was determined to devote this sum of money to the purpose of rewarding persons who shall be directly responsible for the arrest and conviction of those who incite riots and mob outbreaks that result in lynchings, and of those who perpetrate the lynching crime itself. It was the earnest expressed opinion of every member of the stockholding body at the meeting that the irremedible injustices, the debasement and degradation worked by a crime that invariably exhibits a contempt for law and order, and an enmity to the decent systems of courts and law enforcement, must be brought to an end throughout the United States. Lynching must no longer go unpunished, or lightly punished, in any states or district of this nation. The anti-lynching fund of the San Antonio Express will be employed in this manner: Reward of $500 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent conviction and punishment, of any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching, or in putting through the lynching itself, when the individual lynched was not a Negro. A reward of $1,000 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent conviction and punishment, of any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching or in putting through the lynching itself, when the individual was a Negro. This fund of $100,000, and the offer of reward thereunder, will be maintained and in effect for a period of five years from August 3, 1918. The system of rewards will apply to any and every crime of lynching committed within the bounds of continental United States—that is, exclusive of the American possessions of Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippine islands, the Panama canal zone, etc. These rewards will be paid to private citizens—persons of either sex—or to peace officers of whatever class; sheriffs, their deputies and possemen; constables and their deputies; United States marshals, their deputies and possemen; city or state police, rangers, etc.; officers and men of the organized military forces, or National Guard, of the several states; and to any and all other persons who may not be debarred legally from the acceptance of a reward of this character of law enforcement. Five hundred dollars is fixed as the reward for directly bringing about the arrest, conviction and punishment of a person or persons guilty of lynching an individual other than a Negro and $1,000 is fixed as the reward in the case of the lynching of a Negro, for this reason: A heavy majority of the crimes of lynching in this country have Negroes as their victims. Therefore, the larger reward and the more stringent measures should be applied to the more prolific phase of this hideous evil of lynching. As compared with the number of instances of such outrages against Negroes—and against the law, the decency and the morality of the people—instances of the lynching of whites are rare. It must be noted that payment of these rewards is strictly conditioned upon, not only the arrest, but the conviction and punishment—by court, or jury, according to the system that may obtain in the jurisdiction wherein the crime was committed—of the lynchers. Only by stringent punishment may this destructive cime be kept down and finally eradicated. Those entrusted with the use of the Express' anti-lynching fund will have nothing to do with the cases in which conviction is followed by suspended sentence, or by any punishment that does not fit the crime; that is there must be the death penalty, or a term of years in state's prison, according to the circumstances of the crime, in evidence. Wherever claim shall be made for the payment of reward out of this fund, the management of the Express will investigate fully as to the claimant's connection with the arrest and trial of the lyncher; whether the lyncher's conviction and punishment were affected through the genuine interest of the claimant, by information to the authorities and by honest testimony in court. Further details as to the operation of this system of rewards may be announced at some future date. The creation of this fund was voted by the stockholders on the recommendation of George W. Brackenridge of San Antonio. Mr. Brackenridge has been energetically and practically interested for years in the various efforts of both legal authority and social organizations throughout the union to do away with mob violence, especially when it takes the form of lynching. The San Antonio Express, like most other self-respecting newspapers on either side of the Mason and Dixon line, has for years made its vigorous fight editorially against a combination of lawlessness and brutality that blackens the name and besmirches the citizenship of any community, South or North, that witnesses and allows a single lynching. Public sentiment against this crime is steadily gaining in strength in the numbers of adherents pledged to law and order, and in stern expressions by assemblies of good citizens, everywhere in the United States. Some two years ago the presidents of universities and colleges in this state and region met in Waco and organized a plan and propaganda against lynching, after denouncing in strongest terms the vicious effects of the practice upon the people and civic structure of the commonwealth. Especially since the entrance of this nation into the world war, and the attendant creation of a demand for the fullest possible measure of law-abiding, orderly conduct here at home while every energy of the government and the people is being devoted to the cause of military and economic strength, is the inimical practice of mob violence condemned. CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE Charleston, W. Va.—Attorney T. Gillis Nutter, long prominent in fraternal circles, has announced his candidacy for the lower house of the West Virginia legislature and is making an active campaign for the nomination. FIRST AMERICAN FIGHTER IN FRANCE New Orleans, La., Aug. 15.—Walter Washington, a New Orleans Colored man, was the first American fighter to set foot on French soil, according to a telegram from the war department received Wednesday by Chief Clerk Raphael of local exemption board No. 4. Washington registered June 6, 1917, and was sent to Camp Pike by board No. 4, being one of the first men to go there. He went over with the first transport which left for France. NEW COLORED REGIMENTS ARE BEING FORMED Washington, D. C., Aug. 15.—The war department has authorized the organization of eight Pioneer Regiments of Infantry (Colored). These regiments are designated as the 809th to 816th, inclusive. Additional officers authorized will be provided. The 801st to 808th Infantry (Colored), now being organized, will be designated as the 801st, 802d, etc., Pioneer Infantry. NEGRO BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZED IN KANSAS Wichita, Kas., Aug. 15.—The first Negro troop of Boy Scouts ever organized in Kansas under the Kansas Scout Council has been organized here with thirteen Colored lads. The boys, three of whom are members of the Calvary Baptist church, will meet in their own church for instructions. Two other Colored troops were organized in Kansas City, Kas., but under the jurisdiction of the Missouri council. APPOINTED QUARANTINE OFFICER; HER WORK HIGHLY COMMENDABLE Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. J. H. McPherson has been appointed quarentine officer in the city health department. She is not only the first woman of color to hold the position, but also first woman, and her work has been highly commended by the Health Commissioner. FIRST COLORED BISHOP FOR UNITED STATES Consecration of Archdeacon Demby to Take Place in All Saints' Church, St. Louis, Mo., August 24—Dignitaries of the Church Will Take Part in Impressive Ceremonies Attending First Consecration of Colored Priest as a Bishop of the American Episcopal Church. Special to The Monitor. ST. LOUIS, MO., Aug. 15.—Great preparations are being made here for an epoch-marking event in the history of the Episcopal church. On the Feast of St. Bartholomew, Saturday, August 24, the Venerable Edward T. Demby, bishop-suffragan-elect of the province of the southwest will be consecrated in All Saints' church, this city, which is one of the largest, handsomest and costliest churches in the country owned by Colored Episcopalians. This unique event will bring dignitaries of the Episcopal church from all parts of the country who will take part in the impressive and im-posing ceremony. Among the bishop who will take part are: The Rt. Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, D. D., presiding bishop; The Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, bishop of Tennessee; the Rt. Rev. James R. Winchester, bishop of Arkansas; and the Rt. Rev. Edwin W. Sapphore, bishop-suffragan of Arkansas. The Venerable Edward T. Demby, who has been archdeacon of the Colored work in the diocese of Tennessee for several years, was elected a few months ago as bishop-suffragan of Arkansas and the Province of the Southwest, for the express purpose of aggressively pushing the missionary work of the Episcopal church among the Colored people of that territory. He has the unique distinction of being the first Colored man to be elected to the office of a bishop in the Episcopal church, for work in the United States. The Rt. Rev. Jas. Theodore Holly and the Rt. Rev. David S. Ferguson were both consecrated in New York several years ago, but the first was for Haiti and the other for Liberia. His consecration is therefore being eagerly awaited. Another Colored bishop will be consecrated sometime in the autumn. For Archdeacon Delaney, vice principal of St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, N.C., was recently elected bishop-suffragan of North Carolina. Vol. IV. No. 7 (Whole No. 163) Captain Peebles is Somewhere in France Writes Interesting Letter to His Wife, in Which He Speaks of the Friendliness of the People of that War-Stricken Country. MRS. W. W. PEEBLES has just received an interesting letter from her husband, Captain W. W. Peebles of the 349th field artillery, who has arrived safely overseas. It will be recalled that late in June Captain Peebles was given a leave of absence to visit his family in Omaha. Before he reached Omaha a telegram was received here ordering him to return at once to his regiment. He was able to spend only a few hours with his family as he had to take the first train east. Before he could reach the east his regiment had sailed. He followed as soon as possible and rejoined his command. Here is what Captain Peebles writes from "Somewhere in France," under date of July 18: "At last I am fixed for awhile. After leaving the "rest" camp we entrained for this 'beautiful section of a very beautiful country. Arrived here last night and immediately got in touch with my regiment, where I received a very cordial welcome from the colonel down. So again I feel in good spirits. Some of my things have not shown up, but I expect them in due season. I am billeted with a real nice French family. Nice big room and strange to say plenty of light and air. Nice soft feather bed. So you see I can easily rest. Our camp is beautifully located on the banks of a river and ten minutes from the city. These grateful French people are more than friendly and one feels strongly that you are in the midst of your best friends. Absolutely no sign of fear, distrust or difference. You should see, or rather hear my efforts to speak French. I am progressing slowly but surely. I can ask for what I wish but have difficulty in understanding them. But you know I shall soon catch on. I am so very tired that I cannot write you of the very interesting things I have seen. You don't see a man between 18 and 50 who is not in uniform. So evident is the lack of young men that a child could see it. Even young women you see little of as most have left for the large centers where they are in the munition factories doing their part along other lines for their country. Poor France seems to have been stricken or bled dry. Our sympathy goes out to them automatically. I am feeling fine and you know my thoughts are constantly with you there. I know little about the progress of the war. You get more news there than we do here. Please send me the "Crisis" and that issue of the "Cosmopolitan" with the finish of "Virtuous Wives." Please write to me often. I wrote you while on board ship and gave the letter to a sailor to mail, as I thought it might reach you sooner. He will mail it on his return to New York. Best wishes for you on your birthday. May we not be separated long and here is hoping that many other natal days will find my dear little wife, bright, cheerful and happy. The letter ends with matters strictly personal and with affectionate greetings to his son, Bill, and sister-in-law, Miss Lena Paul. TO TRAIN COLORED DRAFTED AT HAMPTON, VA.

WITH the American Army in France—That the Colored American soldier is in the thickest of the fray, giving a good account of himself, is attested by high French officers, who have nothing 'but words of praise for the valorous conduct of their black brothers in one common cause. In a recent interview, Lieutenant James Black said: "It is a mistake for the Colored people of the United States to feel that their boys are being shoved to the front against their will. The fact is, it is hard to keep them from going too far. Only yesterday two Colored troopers were called before the entire regiment while a prominent French general pinned crosses of honor on their breasts and kissed them on both cheeks. These men will be sent home on a furlough to tell their own story." This is the French method of showing admiration for a great accomplishment. UNIFORM TAX I CO. Calls Answered Day or Night.

The old 15th New York infantry, now the 369th, has seen a deal of fighting, being the first Colored regiment over here and their first man to fall in battle was Corporal William Stephens, who formerly resided at 52 West-139th street, New York City. This brave warrior lost his life in General Foch's great counter attack upon the Germans in the Soissons-Chateau Thierry salient. Lieutenant James Reece Europe, former band leader of the 369th regiment, has been transferred to the machine gun company. In the recent attack the French subject peoples, Algerians, Tunisians, Morocans and Sengalese (black) were in the thick of the fighting and bore their part of the struggle. Sengalese battalions were distributed among the French divisions and stormed behind the tanks in advance of the white Frenchmen. Other black soldiers from Africa covered themselves with great glory in their charge, singing their war song "If I go forward I die, if I go backward I die; better go forward and die." With this cosmopolitan army giving fight to them the Huns were unable to withstand the allied attack. Here is the official record of Fako Doumbia of the 51st Sengaleese battalion serving at the observation post of the trench: He was three times buried by projectiles, three times released himself and resumed his post with the greatest calmness and cool-headed ness, continuing on duty until relieved by the commander of the company. In the Rheims sector the 370th (former 8th Illinois) infantry, commanded by a black officer, Colonel Franklin A. Denison, has given a good account of itself and several of the men have been cited for unusual bravery. This regiment forms a part of the 92d division and its attacking strength played no small part in the recent allied victory. Americans, both black and white, Englishmen and Italians, fought between the French in this great drive. The terrific fighting of these Colored Americans has caused Kaiser Bill to emit an awful bowl about "black men being employed by the allies to kill white men." SOUTH AFRICANS HARD FIGHTERS British Headquarters in France, via Ottawa.—The South Africans who took part in the successful attack at Meteran on the Flanders front on July 17, came from all quarters of that dominion and included a goodly portion of the Dutch settlement. Forming the right wing of the British force they advanced farther and faster than any of the other units. Advancing behind a smoke screen and wearing gas masks, the South Africans took the enemy by surprise, although having some trouble with the enemy shell craters and cleverly concealed machine gun nests. Their casualties, considering the measure of their success, were comparatively light. The enemy so far has not attempted a counter attack on the new British positions.

'* for the nomination for congress- man from this district on the repub- lian ticket. No Colored man jin this district ought to, and no self-respecting Col- ored man, will vote for Mr. Dodge, who knows his attitude towards us as a people. His real attitude and senti- ment may ‘be judged from the fact that he is one of the few real estate dealers in this city who has the un- warranted effrontery to insert in his deeds of conveyance of land the in- sulting, and we believe, unconstitu- tional, provision, that “SAID LOT SHALL NEVER BE OCCUPIED BY A COLORED PERSON.” : ‘These words are quoted from a war- ranty deed given by N. P. Dodge, Jr., and Laura W. Dodge, husband and wife, to George Baldwin August 3, 1914. Here is the exact language of this instrument: : «N. P. Dodge and Laura W. Dodge, husband and wife, in consideration of $225 in hand paid, do hereby grant, bargain, sell convey and confirm unto George Baldwin the following described real estate situate in the County of Douglas and State of Ne- braska, to-wit: Lot five (5) in Brookline Terrace, an addition to the City of Omaha, a: surveyed, platted and recorded. This lot is conveyed subject to special taxes levied or assessed after the 24th day of March, 1911, and it is understood and agreed that SAID LOT SHALL NEVER BE OCCUPIED BY A COL- ORED PERSON (caps are the edi- tor’s), and no house shall be erected thereon of less than four rooms or within twenty feet of the front line of the lot. In witness whereof we have here- unto set our hands this third day of August, 1914, N. P. DODGE, JR. LAURA W. DODGE, In presence of L. M. KROYER. E. H. SAGERT.” To this is affixed the notarial seal of L. M, Kroyer. This is a sample of one of Mr. N P. Dodge’s warranty deeds. It is to be noted that the lot pur- chased is not in a wealthy or exclusive district, although the principle vio- lated would be the same if it were, but in a very ordinary addition where the purchase price and the modest building restrictions would ‘oe within the means of the average industrious and self-respecting wage eamer. In every local land enterprise in which Mr. Dodge is interested he has been ungenerous and unkindly enough to insert some such provision. No Colored person, so far as we know, has been able to purchase a lot in West Lawn cemetery, and we have _ never heard of a Colored person be- ing buried there. Mr. Dodge is ono of the incorporators and officials of the West Lawn Cemetery association. Not only would he limit the op- portunities of the living, but he would deny a decent place of burial for our dead should and could his principles prevail. When a man of Mr. Dodge's ante- cedents, rearing and advantages does not rise superior to the attitude to- wards us herein outlined, what can we expect of the common rabble? No self-respecting Colored man in this district will vote for N. P. Dodge in the face of these indisputable facts which reveal his attitude and senti- ‘ments towards us. LYNCHMANIA DOOMED Two significant and thought-com- pelling articles on lynching are pub- lished in this issue. One is most gruesome and shocking, and we would prefer that necessity did not compel us to publish it; but it is by the piti- less publicity that must be given to such unbelievable American atroci- ties that our beloved country is go- ing to be purged from such terrible crimes against humanity. Indeed, it is through the campaign of publicity which has been conducted by the N. A. A. C. P. in its investigations of lynching, for which purpose a fund of $10,000 was raised afew years ago that the conscience of the Amer- jean people has been aroused to the point that LYNCHMANIA is doomed to destruction. 4 One of these articles is the report of the special investigator of the Na- tional Association on one of Georgia’s most horrible and almost, unbelievable mob-murder orgies. This report was laid before Governor Dorsey and a copy of the report was sent by re. quest to President Wilson. ‘The other article is that which tells of the unanimous action of the direc- tors and stocokholders of the San An- tonio Express, in setting apart an anti-lynching fund of $100,000 for the conviction and punishment of lynch- ers. This action is practical, timely and most signifieant and shows that the country is becoming aroused tc the necessity of rolling away this re proach from our nation. It is note- worthy and praiseworthy that a news- paper in the heart of the south should take this action, and the result wil be effective and far-reaching. THE PRIMARIES Next Tuesday is primary day. It is the, duty of the voters to go to the polls and nominate by their ballots the men of their party whom they should hope to elect in November. Candidates for United States senator, congressman, governor and state and county officers are to ‘oe nominated. ‘The voter nominates now in the pri- mary. This work is not left as at ‘one time to delegates to the conven- tion. Every voter, therefore shouold take an especial interest in voting at the primary. Do not leave it to the other fellow, We as a people should have no con- cern in the factional fights of the so-called party leaders. We should take no sides with the Rosewater slate, or the Bob Smith slate. Neither slate cares a continental about us. What we should do is this: Select from the various slates men whom we have reason to believe will give out people a square deal and vote for such men, at the primaries. ‘Then when the election comes’ off in the autumn, select from either ticket in the field, the strongest and best men, irrespective of party and vote for them—if we believe they will sive us a square deal. CONCERNING RED CROSS AND STUDENT NURSES We have received several inquiries from interested young women who are anxious to volunteer for training as nurses. We have been unabie to give them.any more definite infor- mation than that we have been ad- vised that provision is being made for nurse training at hospitals like the Provident, Chicago; the Freed. man’s, Washington, D. C., and oth ers, and that other arrangements will be made as soon as possible, , Our advice to the young women, who can meet the qualifications, is to register and hold themselves in readiness to go just as soon as plan are completed. Our young women are going to be given an opportunity for nursing. The government may seem mighty slow in getting around to it, but we must bear in mind that the government has a big job on its hands and it takes time to do things. Our boys are fighting “over there” and training in many camps and our girls will be given the opportunity to minister to them. MAKE NO MISTAKE The cables that a.e coming to the American people from the fields of France are good to hear and are heartening the whole allied world, while they are depressing the Central Powers in the same degree. But we must not imagine that the end of the war is near at hand. The allied armies are fighting on French soil to ‘drive the Germans out of France, and ‘not on German territory. The Ger- mans must yet be driven out of Bel gium and after that, then Germany. It may be a long hard war and it is a long hard war for which the allies are prepared. One good aid to the allies cause is that Germany is hun- gry and this fact may bring the mighty Hun empire to its knees quick- er than could all the vast power and resources of the allies. We are going to win this war ard win it in a way that the victory will be final, but never forget that we are fighting a foe whose strength is mightier than that of any nation known in the annals of human his- tory. We have them on the run now and it is to be hoped that we may keep them on the run, but if the Huns should stop us, don’t let us become de- pressed. It is the. optimistic spirit that will always conouer in the end. THE MONITOR To those who are at sea, casting: about for a safe, sane, practical man for county commissioner, in the First district, Mr. Julius C. Wiig repre- sents the type of clean, progressive, young business man. Mr. Wiig has never sought an office and is a candi- date at this time on account of pres- sure of residents of the southwestern portion of the city. If elected, Mr. Wiig will render careful, conscientious service that will be a credit to the republican party and his constituents. WILLIAM I, KIERSTEAD Willian I. (Billy) Kierstead wants to go to the state senate. He is well qualified for the job, Not only does he want to go, but he has a large num. ber of friends who want to see him there. The Monitor is among these friends. Your vote at the primary Tuesday will help nominate him. Please see to it that he gets your vote and mention him to your friends. It never pays to be small. Small- ness in other people is no excuse for those who desire to live upon a high plane to stoop to small things. Hold yourself up. “Be thou the true man thou dost seck.” Poetic advice, but good. Act upon it and you will never regret it. It has been wisely suggested that at 11 o'clock daily people everywhere shall pause for one minute and offer up a prayer for our boys “over there,” that victory may speedily come. Let us all do this. “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” EXERCISING PATIENCE When things do not hapen to turn out just the way one desires, it is a good thing to exercise patience. Of course, it isn’t easy to be patient, but patience brings a rich reward. Be kind to everybody. Do not en- courage or cultivate a spirit of hatred or ill will, Such a spirit injures your- self vastly more than it does the other fellow. . SKITS OF SOLOMON & The Huns As Socrates once remarked while sitting on the corner at Broadway and Fifth avenue, New York, eating an apple that looked like it had the smallpox, “You can never tell how fastly a man can navigate until you get him scared.” A few months ago we began to think that the boches were invincible and the boches be- lieved that of themselves most con- stantly. So thoroughly did this su- preme stuff permeate their sides that they quit paying attention to the al- lies altogether and began harvesting other people's wheat, munching pretz- els and playing piniochle right out in the open. Mr. Foch, of France, found out what they were doing, so he quieted the atmosphere until he got them to believing that they were as safe as though they were home under der linden trees swilling suds and chewing schnaps. Meanwhile Mr. Foch accumulates a large quantity of sol- diers and all of a sudden turns loose. The boches jumped up, looked west, and then made tracks for the east. They started back at a much faster gait than they started forward some days ago and didn’t care to carry any- thing heavier than a suit of under- wear and a loaf of bread. Some of them were so scared that the allies simply rounded them up and run them into a pen to wait until the war was over. What became of the mouse faced crown prince and prince Rup- precht isn’t known yet, but it dollars to doughnuts that tabasco, cayenne and T, N. T. won't have anything on the council when papa, der kaiser, thd princeys, von Hindey and von Ludy get together and try to. understand the why for of the vem where- as, All we want Mr. Feeh to do is to keep them seared and then mayoe next year Mr. Wilhelm may think about buying himself an estate some- tae around the south pole that a ‘man couldn't find with a magnet and ‘the whole world navy.

Experience has taught the manage- | ment that a fatigued barber is not the best barber; to keep the barbers | fresh and in good trim at all times the shop is provided with stools so | arranged to the height of the barber, it is convenient to rest at will while | at work. Never before known in the history of the city. We lead, others follow. We advertise and don’t knock. We will be glad to have the most fastidious give the place a thorough inspection and see if this is true. The Alamo barber shop has done more : to further the barber business and bring to the people their very needs, than all the shops put together have ever done. IMINgs ort rice, rrops. C.

FOR County Attorney THE MONITOR Camp Pike, School of Democracy Best of Good Feeling Prevails Among Uncle Sam's Great National Army in Training Here—No Trouble Over Saluting. BY FRED C. WILLIAMS CAMP PIKE, ARK., Aug. 5.—Little Rock I found to be a very busy place. A city nominally of 50,000 inhabitants had, through the acquisition of the cantonment, Camp Pike, grown to the large proportion of over 200, 000. Every body was busy making money and talking war; for Little Rock feels that it devolves upon her to produce the fighters that will bring home the kaiser. The city itself boasts of a street called Ninth, and along both sides of this avenue for the distance of fifteen blocks can be found progressive business and professional men of our race doing business on a remarkable scale, from the small sandwich vender to the dealer in loans, real estate and insurance, mounting up into large figures; for here is located the National Headquarters of the Mosaic Templars, an organization that created quite a bit of public interest when they subscribed $100,000 in the first three liberty loan drives. Monitor readers will recall how deeply moved was Mr. McAdoo when the president of this organization presented him with a check for $50,000 for liberty bonds and told him that the order was ready to buy more. Their headquarters building, a three-story pressed brick and concrete has proved inadequate to accommodate the fast growing business of this progressive organization. They are therefore building a large annex in which will be established all of their national officials. Further down the street will be found the office building of the Knights of Tabor, a neat pressed brick building of two stories, combining office and business accommodations. A block away is the Temple of the Tabernacle, a new building having been released by the contractors just two months ago. These institutions are manifesting quite the proper spirit, by investing their surplus in valuable real estate. The large number of business and professional men are for the most part progressive. installing up-to-date methods for accommodating the ever-increasing public, special care 'beeing given the boys who are called to don the khaki and be trained in the art of warfare at glorious Camp Pike. Camp Pike is proving a real school of democracy. At this cantonment at present there are approximately 62,000 men, 8,000 members of the race, comprising 5,000 at old Fort Logan H. Root, 2,500 in the cantonment proper, 250 students at the officers' training camp, 30 commissioned lieutenants as instructors and about 20 doing special duty at base hospitals and receiving stations. Elmer Morris and Edward Killingsworth of Omaha are in the officers' training camp here. They are looking well, doing well and feeling fine. It has ceased to be an act of wonderment for a white private to salute a Colored officer. The sentiment of the camp is against any man who fails to recognize his duty as a member of this great army of Uncle Sam to salute his officer, no matter what his color and the citizens of this community are beginning to think the same way, branding any man wearing the uniform of the U. S. A., who attempts to complain of being compelled to salute Colored officers as being "No Good" and a "Bad Soldier." The first batch of student officers who successfully passed their examinations will receive their commissions August 15. The daily hikes are doing wonders for the boys and a sentiment of true democracy is growing, for the Jim Crow signs are fast disappearing, and at the two Y. M. C. A.'s provided for the Colored soldiers, 50 per cent of the attendance is white. The white, seemingly preferring the courteous attention and the harmonious association of his brother in black to that of his own kind. Quite a change in the code of Arkansas. Am leaving tonight for Hot Springs, the Vapor City, until next week.

No one who realizes what a large continent Africa is can doubt the important part it is destined to play in the future. Here are some suggestive facts: Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land surface is comprised within the continent of Africa, and it is as far around the world. Every eighth person of the world's population lives in the dark continent. The blacks double their number every forty years and the whites every eighty. There are 843 languages and dialects spoken among the blacks of Africa, but only a few of them are written. One area in Africa unoccupied by missionaries is three times the size of Ohio. Throughout Africa there is one missionary for every 133,000 souls. FOR IMPROVING LABOR CONDITIONS Richmond, Va.—George E. Haynes, director of the Negro economic department of the federal labor bureau discussed with C. R. Kelley, executive secretary of the Virginia council of defense, a more compact organization of the Colored people of Virginia along economical and industrial lines. Local commissions, on which Colored men of this state will be placed, will probably be the result of the conference. Many are giving their lives; you are asked only to loan your money.

Her official badge and membership card accompanied her notification. Of course it is not known how soon she will be called to service, but as her registry number is 212, it is reasonable to presume that she will not be kept long on the waiting list.

JEFFERIS To the Voters of Douglas County: To the Voters of Douglas County: My personal acquaintance with Mr. Jefferis for the past twenty-five years enables me to say as to his law ability, there is none to surpass him, and as to his friendship and feeling to my people he has no equal. I have not known of Mr. Jefferis selling lots for one down and one a month, but I do know if he was selling lots he THE MONITOR would not refuse to sell to a Colored man. I do not know of one of my people he has ever turned down. He is a man of honor and approachable. I think that Mr. Jefferis is more capable than any of his opponents. At this present time we need representative men and not race haters. We are fighting the Huns. Yours truly, T. W. WHEELER.

SOME OF THE THINGS ACCOMPLISHED BY MR. CHARLES W. BRYAN WHILE MAYOR OF LINCOLN Led successful fight for commission form of government and thereby enabled Lincoln citizens to buy electric current from municipal light plant, saving in light and power bills about $75,000 annually to the people. Led successful fight against giving gas company fifty-nine year franchise, which also defeated compromise of refund due Lincoln people, saving to public of $100,000. Led fight that defeated the so-called home-rule charter, and preserved the right to the cit yof Lincoln to have municipal ownership of public utilities. Required Lincoln Gas company to reduce price from $1.20 to $1.00 per thousand cubic feet, saving to gas consumers $56,000 annually. Successfully resisted a raise in street car rates to school children, saving about $3,000 per year. Secured from the express companies of Lincoln an extension of the free delivery zone to include practically the entire city. Established a free municipal employment bureau to assist the laboring classes to find employment. Established a free legal aid department, which settled more than Established a free legal aid department, which settled more than six hundred cases for wage workers unable to employ an attorney. Extended city park to within walking distance of the laboring people of the city. Many reforms and reorganizations in city government in the interest of efficiency and economy were enacted under the leadership or upon recommendation of former Mayor Bryan, as the files of Lincoln's daily newspapers will verify. The Lincoln State Journal commended Mr. Bryan at the close of his term as follows: "He is one of the few mayors the city has ever had who could see what the municipal government ought to be and had the courage to carry out his ideals so far as he could with the machinery at his disposal. The record of things accomplished under somewhat adverse circumstances is impressive enough to hide the blunders. Mr. Bryan deserves something more than the perfunctory thanks of the city upon his retirement from office." DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES, AUGUST 20. 1918 NEGROES TO HAVE LARGE WELFARE HOME Newark, N. J.—Members of the Negro Welfare league are 'oending their efforts toward raising $10,000.

TRE MONITOR POLITICAL PALAVER AND POINTER: There are several capable men who are candidates for County Attorney, but our voters will make no mistake if they vote for J. P. Palmer, a splendid man for the position, and one who will be absolutely fair to all classes. FOR STATE SENATON William J. Broatch is a candidate for the State Senate. As mayor, he proved himself a friend to our peo- ple. He is a good man, vote for him. Charles Unitt deserves your vote for commissioner. Give it to him. Mike Clark has made a good sheriff and as such deserves re-election. If you have registered as a democrat of course you can vote at the primaries for Richard L. Metcalfe for United States Senator, and "Met" is all right; for Edward Huntley for representative, and "Ed" will make a good one; and for Isaac Konecky for State Senator, who will make himself heard. Yes, there are some good democrats and Congressman Lobeck belongs to this category, along with some others. When you go to the polls next Tuesday to nominate the man whom you desire to represent you in Congress, vote for Albert W. Jefferis.

BURKE Samuel Mancuso FOR THE Legislature Samuel Mancuso filed for the office of State Representative. He has lived in Omaha for over 28 years, and has prospered in business, having helped materially to improve several sections of the city. He rose from the ranks of the day laborer to a business man of high standing. He is a heavy tax-payer and earned his money in Omaha where it is all invested. Quite naturally he will work for laws more fully protecting the tax-payer and small home-owner. He will work for legislation calling for higher efficiency of public office-holders, and for a reduction of tax levies in state and county. Mr. Mancuso is a life-long republican and has done much service for his party. He will work for measures to improve citizenship. He believes that no man should be permitted to vote before taking out his final naturalization papers. He believes in the educational test for voters and that every voter should be required to fill out his own ballot. He is firm in the opinion that America must have but one language, one flag and one people. He is fully alive to the drift of public opinion regarding all questions relating to war work in district and state, and if elected he will exert his best efforts to keep Nebraska in the forefront of states whose people have pledged their highest endeavors to help win the war.
