GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy First Negro Bishop For American Church Solemn, Stately and Impressive Ceremonies Mark Consecration of Father' Demby as Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas. HUNDREDS WITNESS CEREMONY Bishop Tuttle Chief Sonsecrator. Assisted by Six Other Prelates and Ecclesiasties—Sermon by Bishop Gailor—An Epoch-Marking Event. (Special to The Monitor by Staff Correspondent.) ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4.—An event of nation-wide importance took place in the beautiful All Saints' Episcopal church of this city Sunday morning, September 29, when the Venerable Edward Thomas Demby, archdeacon of Tennessee, was consecrated Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas especially for work among his own race in that Diocese and in the Province of the Southwest. The event is considered an epochmarking one in the history of the Episcopal church indicating a determination to aggressively prosecute missionary work among the Colored people of the southland. Certainly everything surrounding this great and impressive service of elevating the first Negro priest to the high and responsible office of the episcopate for work in the United States, seems most propitious. The weather was ideal, a bright and beautiful day. The stately, impressive and dignified service moved like clockwork from beginning to end. The arrangements for this solemn function were carefully planned and executed down to the minute detail. This was due to the thorough work of preparation by the rector of All Saints, the Rev. D. R. Clarke, and the skill and efficiency of the incomparable master of ceremonies, the Rev. Henry Mizner, rector of St. Stephen's parish. Service Starts Promptly Promptly on the minute, at half past 10 o'clock, the appointed hour, the processional hymn, "Jesus with Thy Church Abide," was begun and the procession into the church started. It was in three divisions, each headed by a crucifier, bearing aloft the symbol of the Christian faith. First came THE REV. D. R. CLARKE, B. D. Rector of All Saints, the cross bearer, Ernest Harris, Jr. leading the choir, in the midst of which marched Henry O'Fallon carrying a large American flag. In this division, following the choir, marched first the lay and clerical members of the standing committee of the Diocese of Missouri, next in order the clergy of Missouri and then the visiting clergy. The Official Group. The second division, or official group, was headed by Merrill Williams, crucifer. Following him came in order the rector of All Saints' parish, the Rev. D. R. Clarke; the Rev. D. E. Johnson, Jr., and the Rev. M. E. Spatches, readers of certificates of election and ordination, respectively; the Rt. Rev. Sidney C. Partridge, bishop of West Missouri, reader of the evidence of election, and the Rev. Claude Remick, deputy registrar. Immediately following these came the two attending presbyters, the Rev. D. E. Johnson, of Little Rock, and the Rev. Frederick C. Garrett, of Memphis Tenn., preceding the bishop-elect, who was vested in his well-fitting purple cassock and linen rochet. Behind him walked his two presentors, the Rt. Rev. James Wise, bishop of Kansas, and the Rt. Rev. Edwin W. Saphore suffragan bishop of Arkansas. Then followed the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gallor, preacher, and the two co-consecrat THE MONITOR ors, the Rt. Rev. James R. Winchester, bishop of Arkansas, and Frederick F. Johnson, bishop coadjutor of Missouri. The Presiding Bishop. Preceded by the third cross, carried by Stanton Page, came two acolytes, Leroy Roberson and John Gossin. Behind these was the Rev. Henry Mizner, the master of ceremonies, immediately preceding the Rt. Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, bishop of Missouri, presiding bishop of the American Episcopal church, a most remarkable man, eighty-one years of age and a bishop for fifty years, holding the honored distinction of having consecrated more bishops than any bishop in the world,, throughout the church's long and eventful history. Bishop-elect Demby took his seat in the nave at the foot of the chancel between his two attending presbyters. Chief Congregational Revise Service. Bishop Tuttle proceeded at once to the altar, which was beautiful with flowers and brilliant with many lights, and began the communion service. The epistle which was I. Tim. iii:1-7, and deals with the qualifications of a bishop, was read by Bishop Johnson; and the Holy Gospel, which was St. John xx:15-18, was read by Bishop Winchester. Next came the recitation of the Nicene Creed, which gets its name from the Council of Nice in 325, called by Constantine to define the Christian faith as to the Deity of Christ. The hymn, "The Son of God Goes Forth to War," was sung, which being ended, the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, D. D., bishop of Tennessee, whose drastic denunciation of lynching and fearless stand for law and order has won for him the admiration of thousands, and who had ordained the bishop-elect to the diaconate and priesthood, preached the consecration sermon on "The Qualifications for Christian Leadership." Photograph by Maxwell, St. Louis Bishop Gailor's personal address to the bishop elect was most effective and touching. Bishop-Elect Presented. After the sermon, Bishop-elect Demby was conducted by his presentors, Bishops Wise and Saphore, to Bishop Tuttle, who was seated at the appointed place in the sanctuary, just before the altar, with the two co-conservators, Bishops Winchester and Johnson on either side. The presentors said, in the language prescribed by the ordinal: "Reverend Father in God, we present unto you this Godly and well-learned man to be ordained and consecrated bishop." The presiding bishop in a loud voice said: "Let the testimonials be read." The Canon law of the Episcopal church requires that testimonials of election, ordination and confirmation by and consent of the bishops and standing committees of the American Episcopal church be read. These were read by the Rev. D. E. Johnson, Jr., of Hot Springs, Ark; the Rev. M. E. Spatches, of Kansas City, Kas.; Bishop Partridge of West Missouri; Bishop Wise of Kansas, and Mr. R. B. Bancroft, secretary of the standing committee of Arkansas. It was noticeable that the consent of the bishops and standing committees was practically unanimous, although the consent of a majority of both is all that is canonically required. Following the reading of the testimonials the bishop-designate read in a clear voice his promise of conformity to the law of the church and declaration of faith in the Holy Scriptures, the former of which was: Reads Declarations. "In the name of God, amen. I, Edward Thomas Demby, chosen bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church, do promise conformity and obedience to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America. So help me God, through Jesus Christ." Such declarations have to be signed and publicly read by every bishop of the Episcopal church before his consecration. Commended to Prayers of Congregation. Following the declaration, the presiding bishop, commended the bishop elect to the prayers of the congregation, and Bishop Saphore said the Litany in which was inserted the petition. "That it may please thee to bless this our brother elected, and to send Thy grace upon him, that he may duly execute the office whereunto he is called, to the edifying of thy church, and to the honor, praise and glory of Thy name; we besech thee to hear us. Lord." Examination and Investiture. Then came the examination of the bishop-elect, covering many questions Vol. IV. No.15 (Whole No.171) OMAHA, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 12, 1918 each of these questions he replied, "I will do so, by God's help." PETER JOHN BROWN After his examination his attending presbyters invested him with the rest of his episcopal robes. During this investiture the following hymn was sung: Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain; Accept these hands to labour, This heart to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. Come down, Thou Holy Spirit, And fill his soul with light; Clothe him in spotless raiment, In vesture clean and white; Within Thy sacred temple, Be with him! let him stand, To guide and teach Thy people Throughout our native land, Invocation of Holy Spirit and Impatience tion of Hands. Then came perhaps the most impressive part of the service. The bishop-elect knelt at the prayer desk at the appointed place in the choir before the patriarchial form of Bishop Tuttle, on either side of whom stood Bishops Winchester and Johnson, while the other four bishops, Gallor, Partridge, Wise and Saphore, stood two on the right hand and two on the left of the kneeling bishop-elect. There was a brief silence. The organ gave the note, Bishop Wise began chanting the ancient hymn, "Veni. Creator Spiritus," "Come, Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire," invoking the Holy Spirit. This being ended, Bishop Tuttle said the prescribed prayer. The bishops all laid their hands upon the head of the bishop-elect, while Bishop Tuttle said: THE RT. REV. EDWARD THOMAS DEMBY, D. D. Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas. "Receive the Holy Ghost for the Office and Work of a Bishop in the Church of God, now committed unto thee by the Imposition of our hands; in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. And remember that thou stir up the grace of God, which is given thee by this Imposition of our hands; for God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and soberness." Delivery of Bible. Then delivering the Bible into his hands the Bishop continued: "Give heed unto reading, exhortation and doctrine. Think upon the things contained in this book. Be diligent in them, that the increase coming thereby may be manifest unto all men; for by so doing thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. Be to the flock of Christ a shepherd, not a wolf; feed them; devour them not. Hold up the weak, heal the sick, bind up the broken, bring again the outcasts, seek the lost. Be so merciful, that you be not too remiss; so minister discipline that you forget not mercy; that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear you may receive the never-fading crown of glory; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, ST. LOUIS, MO.

AUDIENCE BY THE PRESIDENT Who Is Deeply Moved by Judge Harrison's Earnest Words For Removal of Grievances. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The National Race Congress, which met in Washington October 1, 2 and 3, held, perhaps, the most successful and most influential meeting ever held in its history and the largest delegation took part. The sessions were held in the Metropolitan Wesleyan A. M. E. Zion church and were presided over by President W. H. Jernagin. The following officers were elected: Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., Washington, D. C., president; Bishop I. N. Ross, Washington, D. C., vice president; Rev. C. H. Stepteau, Baltimore, secretary; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Washington, D. C., assistant secretary; Rev. A. A. Grahamm, Phoebus, Va., corresponding and financial secretary; W. Dean, Washington, D. C., treasurer; E. A. P. Cheek, Newark, N. J., chapain; William H. Harrison, Chicago, national organizer; H. J. Callis, chairman executive board. There were a number of things accomplished looking forward to racial betterment. President Woodrow Wilson received the whole convention in the executive office, and the racial conditions were laid before him. Then a conference was held with Director General William G. McAdoo, and he was told by representatives of the race the treatment received in some sections of the country on railroads, and it was decided to send a representative to France to study the morale of the Negro soldiers, and they are going to ask for a representative on the peace commission, and five men will be sent to the commission wherever it meets. Some strong addresses were delivered during the week, and Judge William H. Harrison presented the case of the whole race to the president in a manner which held the president spellbound and at times he was almost moved to tears. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary Baker of the war department, delivered a special address and brought before the congress some valuable information concerning the Negro in the war. He said that 350,000 members of the race were in the military service of the country and 1,200 commissioned officers. Delegation to the White House. The most encouraging and most hopeful incident in the history of the race for many years was the cordial reception and democratic expressions of the president of the United States when he received the delegates to the Negro Race Congress, sitting in Washington, D. C., October 1, 2 and 3. The delegation was led by Rev. W. H. Jernigan, D. D., Washington, D. C., president and bishop; I. N. Ross, D. D., Washington, D. C., vice president, into the White House. Promptly at 4:30 p. m., the secretary, Mr. Tumulty, advised the delegation that he chief executive was ready for the reception, whereupon the delegation walked in and stood in a crescent about the president. Judge William Harrison of Chicago was introduced to the president by Rev. W. H. Jernigan as spokesman, Judge Harrison asked the president's permission for a word of prayer, and MRS. EDWARD THOMAS DEMBY, Wife of the Bishop. —Photograph by Maxwell, St. Louis ```markdown ``` Roscoe Conklin Simmons Famous Negro Orator 25th and Hamilton Streets Thursday, Oct. 24 8 p.m. ```markdown ``` The names and addresses of 50,000 good reliable Farm Renters, Laborers, Factory Men or men in any other line of business who would better themselves by having a piece of farm land of their own.

Bayville, La., Oct. 3.—Twelve sons in active service out of a family of nineteen sons and one daughter is the record of R. H. Windslow, Negro Baptist preacher, conducting a Red Cross auxiliary for the Richard Parish chapter. Born in Montgomery, Ala., 67 years ago, Windslow has been living in Louisiana for more than fifteen years. Besides having contributed twelve sons to the army Windslow owns three Liberty bonds and is personally interested in war work in his community. Eight of his sons enlisted before the passage of the draft law, while the other four were drafted. His thirteenth son is eagerly waiting for the day when he will be of age to enlist. Of those in the army four are twins and three are triplets. Fred E. Hamlin, director of the publicity bureau of the gulf division of the American Red Cross, says that plans are under way for a public demonstration in honor of Windslow and the presentation of a twelve-star service pin to the proud father. Windlow has received a personal letter from President Wilson complimenting him on his record. WINS A NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PRIZE In a recent photographic contest by a Rochester, N. Y., photographic manufacturing concern, the first prize of $500 was awarded to Arthur Winston of Appalachicola, Fla. The firm sent a representative to that city to deliver the prize money and found the winner to be a 14-year-old Negro schoolboy. He had practiced photography during his idle hours until he had become an expert in the use of the camera, and the pictures he had sent to the prize competition, when judged with others sent from all portions of the United States, Canada, Mexico and far-away Australia, proved to be the best. The pictures were pastoral scenes. The boy will use the prize money educating himself.

I've already got seven sons in the army and they're all right over in France for democracy right now; and I think I can get along somehow without them until they all come back again, so if Mr. Wilson needs this boy to help kill the kaiser, then I'll offer no objection at all." So, on the strength of this statement, the lawyer marked an "X" on the line opposite the words "single man with no dependants," and a proud old mother walked away rejoicing in the knowledge of a duty well done and a husky youth made ready to join his seven brothers "over there."

THE MONITOR COLORED MAN TAKES LARGE SUBSCRIPTION Shreveport, La.—What is expected will be the largest individual subscription in Caddo parish, Louisiana, in the fourth Liberty loan drive is that of David H.

He is the owner of valuable oil lands and oil royalties have made him wealthy.—Star-Telegram. During these times of high prices it should behoove every family to seek the prices that will best suit their pocketbooks. You cannot do that without investigating the prices and goods of the various business firms. During these war times the cheapest goods are almost too high for the poor man to reach, and for that reason the big business firms are curtailing their expenses and so co-ordinating and systematizing their operation that they can sell their goods at the lowest possible margin. It is, therefore, in keeping with this theory that the Obee-Hunter company, undertakers and embalmers, have purchased their own auto livery. They purchased a black and grey hearse, one closed and one five-passenger touring car. The same can be inspected at their garage, which is adjoining their undertaking parlors at Twenty-fourth and Hamilton streets. Their object was to handle only the livery business through the Colored undertakers. They offered them their livery cheaper than they were getting it from the other fellow. They were of the opinion that the Colored undertakers would readily give them their livery business, because they were all Colored and should work together in order to give their people the benefit of lower prices and at the same time open up a new field of employment for them. But, with the exception of Mr. Russell, the other Colored undertakers could not see it that way, so the firm has determined not to let their cars stand idle. There has been so much just complaint on the part of our ladies about the rough and uncouth manner in which they have been handled by the white drivers is another reason why the Obee-Hunter company thought that the other Colored undertakers would be glad to patronize a race firm. But not so with them. How they can ask Colored people to patronize them because they are Colored, and THEY themselves will not patronize a Colored man, is hard to see. Mr. Obee endeavored to combine the undertaking firms in order to cut out two of them and thereby lower the overhead or running expenses of all, which would have finally resulted in lowering the cost to the public; but they were afraid that Obee was coniving to put them out of business. Mr. Obee pointed out the various men that he had been in partnership with and had done business with and for, and asked them to inquire of these people as to his business honesty and integrity. He told them that he was in the grocery business with Rev. W. F. Botts; in partnership with Mr. George Watson, jr., several years; was in partnership with Messrs. John Dickerson, J. G. Jewell, George Watson & Phannix in buying and building the Mecca. He was president of the company and largely handled all the business end of the firm. He invites YOU to inquire of these people anything you wish to know about him. Mr. Obee offers this explanation to all strangers: that the people who knock his business, as a rule, are the ones he has defeated in politics or people who owe him. He has and still OFFERS a $200 REWARD to ANYBODY who can go before three disinterested judges and prove that he ever SWINDLED or BEAT THEM or anybody else OUT OF A SINGLE PENNY, OR OVERCHARGED THEM FOR ANYTHING. (Cut this out and bring it with you or keep it.) Will furnish you a gray or any other colored plush casket, trimmed complete; embalming, hearse, one five-passenger closed car and grave.

IMPORTANT MUTUAL SAVINGS BANK GOES OVER TOP IN LOAN DRIVE Portsmouth, Va., Oct. 4.—The Mutual Savings bank has the distinction of being the first bank of our race in this country designated as a depository of the government, the honor being conferred upon it because of the splendid records made by the bank in the Liberty loan campaigns. In the first loan twelve persons subscribed through the bank for $2,000 worth of bonds; in the second 464 persons subscribed for $25,000, and in the third 1,925 persons subscribed for $102,000 worth. The quota of the bank was set at $5,700 and the bank handled over twenty times its allotment. The easiest way to win an argument is to keep quiet.

MEETING THE DEMAND FOR LEADERSHIP it set out to do. Why, then, she rest upon our rights and postp The consecration of Archdeacon Demby is bishop suffragan of Arkansas in All Saints' church. St. Louis, Sunday, September 29, a full report of which is published in this issue, is a strikingly significant event in the religious life and development of our race in this country. Because of its significance and importance we have devoted unusual space to it our columns. As an event it transends local and denominational limits. It gives striking and unimpeachable evidence of racial evolution and progress. It testifies to the growing and insistent demand for competent leadership along all lines on the part of our particular social group, the answer to that demand and the recognition by those in authority of competency and ability among representatives of our people to assume the duties, obligations and responsibilities of this intelligent leadership. Moreover, it has an obvious bearing upon the progress of true democracy which perforce is looming large not only in the thought but also in the activities of the day. The Episcopal church is concededly a conservative body. It is also most influential. impartial observers, outside of this communion, statisticians and experts who take account of such matters, state that the Episcopal church wields a religious influence vastly beyond that which her numerical strength would seem to justify. Her canon law fixes the educational and moral standard of her ministry and this has been unusually high. Whether wisely or unwisely, designedly or undesignedly, the result of her policy has been stress the qualitative rather than the quantitative, both in her ministry and lay membership. Whether this is an element of strength or weakness may of course be a debatable question. By many she has been considered handicapped by her ultra-conservatism. Be that as it may, her conservatism was shown in giving the priesthood to Colored men, although it should be known that the Episcopal church was the first of the religious bodies holding what is known as the doctrine of the apostolical succession in this country to confer her orders on a member of the race. The Rev. Absalom Jones being ordained a priest of the Episcopal church in Philadelphia in 1794. Her standard for all her ministers being the same, it is rather noteworthy that over a hundred years ago a man of our race could be found who measured up to those qualifications. Ordinations to the priesthood were comparatively rare until after 1880. Since that time they have been more frequent, until today in the United States there are about 150 in the ministry of the Episcopal church. There has been an increasing demand, the legitimate outcome of racial self-respect and self-consciousness, for the Episcopate. This demand has been met with opposition, but finally this demand has been answered by the election and consecration of Bishap Demby, who in spiritual powers is the peer of every member of the house of bishops. As the racial priesthood has wrought for God and righteousness so also will the racial Episcopate. It answers the legitimate demand for the recognition of ability for leadership which is becoming so insistent in affairs of church and state and bears witness to the fact that the Colored American believes himself to be in every respect a man, willing and anxious to prove his manhood by accepting and discharging the full responsibilities of manhood in every legitimate sphere of human endeavor. EDITOR DUBOIS POSITION The position of the eminent editor, DuBois, "duty first, then rights," is creating a great deal of comment and discussion throughout the country and especially in the Colored press. While upon its face this slogan sounds right, a deep study of the same develops a train of thought that is apt to lead to dissent. To transpose the slogan to, "rights first, then duty," would be a little short of treason and treason is something which the Colored American cannot tolerate. We believe that the better way is rights and duty together. There is no better time than now for us to demand our rights. No better example of the grasping of such opportunity is afforded than the activity of labor during this crisis and labor had practically accomplished all that 4 it set out to do. Why, then, should we rest upon our rights and postpone the issue until after the war. After the war men will be too busy to heed us. While our boys are fighting over there, now is the time to demand and demand and demand. Now is the time to stand shoulder to shoulder and make ourselves heard. The man who says nothing is usually the man who gets nothing. Added to our common injustices are a thousand others coming in the train of this war and for our leaders to stand idly by and try only to placate and palliate these wrongs, is no less treason to us than treason to the principles upon which our country is founded. Rights and duty at the same time, that is the right slogan and until our race men can see it, they are not worthy to represent the sentiment of twelve millions of Colored Americans. THE RIGHT DECISION TWO weeks ago we published a letter from the chancellor of our state university, written to Joseph B Lacour, a student there, who, on orders from a representative of the war department, had been excluded from the S. A. T. C. Chancellor Hastings letter stated in unni-takable language that the University of Nebraska stood for true democracy by admitting to its educational privileges all who applied who could meet the conditions exacted of all, without respect of race or parentage. Its Colored students had always deported themselves well and there had never been any friction; nor in his judgement, would there be any should they be admitted to the S. A. T. C. Similar cases of exclusion, or attempted exclusion, of Colored students from the S. A. T. C.'s of other northern institutions were reported and protested. As a result the war department has wisely decided that Colored students may be admitted to the S. A. T. C.'s of any institution whose custom is and has been to enroll them. This, of course, is the right and sensible thing to do. What sense is there in creating division and widening the chasm between Americans by introducing the Southern segregation policy into communities and institutions where it does not exist? Surely these are times for drawing all Americans more closely together, and if there is any place where this should be done it is in the colleges and universities of the country. PUTTING OMAHA ON THE MAP THE MONITOR has been responsible for bringing a large number of our people from the South. They are an industrious class and are employed in many of the industries of the city. Many of them are buying homes. They are proving a valuable asset to our city and should be given every encouragement. Just a few days ago a bright little chap, who came from Brewton, Ala., and sells weekly a large number of Monitors, was asked, "How did your folks happen to come to Omaha?" This was his reply: "My father began reading The Monitor and learned that there was lots of work and good schools up heah, and so we come." This little lad, who has two brothers just like him, is a hustler. He'll be a successful business man some day. Another family recently came from Houston. This is what the man said: "I read The Monitor and from it I got the idea that Omaha was a good place for me to come to to raise my family." We do not claim to have brought all, but The Monitor has helped to put Omaha on the map for many of our people. DESDUNES BAND GETS PREFERRED PLACE During the formation of the parade for last Thursday afternoon, things were made quite interesting for Desdunes band. It seemed that every division set up a holler for Dan's band. Orders were given by Colonel Mayer, commander, that Des's boys should be placed in front of the army officers' division. This was the preferred place of all, but the colonel's order did not keep the home guard and many other divisions from trying in every way possible to get the Colored band with them. The home guard is made up of big business and Commercial club men and usually their word is law, but in the case of Thursday, Colonel Mayer had the say and he wanted the band for the officers. Some class, eh? THE MONITOR Last week Senator Vardaman of Mississippi spoke in the senate apropos the suffrage amendment. Of course the senator had to bring in a discussion of the race problem and he did it with his characteristic manner. No newspapers quoted him for obvious reasons, and we imagine that it hurt him to his soul, if he ever had one. The amusing thing in the speech was that Vardy once, speaking of himself and his Dixie colleagues, said, "we southern statesmen." Now that is really a joke. In all the range of history, literature and newspaper-dom, we cannot remember that anyone ever had the nerve to slander Vardy by calling him a statesman. GERMANY CANNOT BE TRUSTED PEACE overtures from Germany at this time are too transparently hypocritical to be considered. An armistice, indeed, to discuss terms of peace! President Wilson in his lucid language has definitely stated the only terms of peace which we will accept. What armistice will Germany keep? Cessation of hostilities on the part of the allies will be used by Germany to strengthen the morale of her army, to reform her lines and prepare for a great offensive. Unconditional surrender is the only peace term which the allies can accept from Germany. Germany has shown that she cannot be trusted. For more than four hundred years America has meant merely the name of a certain country, and particularly that part known as the United States of America. The adjective "American" has no definite meaning other than to designate that country. In the revolutionary war, this country passed into political significance as an independent state; in the civil war this country established and confirmed its unity; in the world war in which we are now engaged with our allies, this country has entered upon the task of "making the world safe for democracy." The whole-hearted, spontaneous and uncomplaining response of the people to this call reveals the common understanding of what "America" means; the adjective "American" hereafter shall have a glorious meaning, definitely understood and approved the world over. Democracy means the people, the spirit and the purpose of the people; it means the welfare of the people; it means that the people are to have the blessings of freedom, of self government, and the enjoyment of the inalienable rights of life, liberty and property. America is not satisfied to have these things for herself alone; it wants all the peoples of the earth to have them; democracy can not be satisfied until all men come under its benign protection. Race prejudice, particularly that against men because of color, is one of the clouds which obscures this sun; America must overcome this; democracy must lift this cloud. The Negro is part of the people; he is part of native born America; he knows no other country; he knows no other government; he has given of service, of property and of blood to establish and maintain it; no good reason exists for the unknid, senseless and often brutal discrimination practiced in this democratic land against him. America having placed high before the world her standard; must let herself be lifted up to her ideal and let "all men" be drawn with her to this upper level.—The Chicago Defender. QUESTIONS BY THE WAY When will Colonel Young be recalled to active service? When is the first contingent of Coloroi Red Cross nurses to be called? Are we getting our full quota of commissioned officers for our Colored soldiers? When will the Jim Crow law be abolished on government controlled railroads. When will lynching cease to be a southern pastime? When will the ninety-second division get to Berlin? [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. ALBERT W. JEFFERIS, Republican Candidate for Congress. VARDAMAN AGAIN AMERICA Obvious Observations The allies are planning to burn a German city for every city they destroy. That's what we call business. The Germans must have a heavy dose of their own medicine. Have you bought that Liberty Bond yet? Hurry, brothers and sisters, hurry. Here's betting that the war will be over before the violets come next spring. Mayor Smith says that he gave up the draft job so that he can give more time to being mayor. Bully, but if by more time he means more quarrelling and stewing, why not reconsider and give up the mayor's job? There's nothing so dead as politics. Indian summer is here, but don't let it fool you into being careless. Remember that the Spanish flu is looking around for all easy pickings. The contributing editor will make a trip to St. Joe this week, but he isn't going to bring back any bottles, believe muh! The order for a closed city on account of the flu will give some folks an idea of the kind of a town the reformers would like to saddle on us if they had a chance. Some one told us that he saw a boy crying because the schools had to be closed down. Said friend might have seen such a thing, but— We wonder if the carnival people will feel like coming back to Omaha next year? Thanking you kindly for reading this dull care junk, we will not adjourn to the office closet and get acquainted with the mop. SKITS OF SOLOMON In the gay city of Parre, that nestles beside the Seine, the allied big guns are sitting in council figuring on handing the Deutch some of their own brands of civilization. When the allies started they sort of felt like they would conduct a gentlemanly sort of warfare, that is, a war carried on something like civilized people should fight. But they have found out that war ain't any such animal. The old adage that Socrates hung up in his den, "Anything is fair in love and war," has changed a bit. When you go to git a guy, git him and git him right. If you have to slip him the happy mitt and as he makes to take hold, swipe him in the peepers and then belt him in the wind and follow with a bugler over the heart, do it. That's war. The boche takes delight in burning every city he has to run away from and the allies ought to make it a rule to clean up every burg they run into. A few more days and the fight will be on German soil, and we believe in soaking the German until his descendants will see stars to the thousanddants generation. Of course that isn't Christian like, but it's warlike and war is what we are into with both big feet. What we want to do is to get the kaiser in such a condition that every time somebody said ally to him he'll have a fit. Give him so many samples of hell that by and by he'll have the whole establishment, machinery and all. That's war. There is no more use in trying to make war civilized than it is to try to make the moon dance to jazz music. It won't work. The allied job won't be a good job until the Teuton is ready to swallow strychnine by the bushel. And if Marshal Foch keeps up, the time isn't long. That's war.

Price At Home on the Job FIRST NEGRO BISHOP FOR AMERICAN CHURCH (Continued from First Page.) of noble and Godly men which, according to the doctrine of Apostolical succession which is held and taught by the Episcopal Church, reaches back through the Church of England, Britain, Rome and Ephesus to the time of Christ and His apostles. Taking him by the hand, Bishop Tuttle conducted Bishop Demby within the sanctuary, where he knelt until he received the Holy Communion and until the service was concluded. Music Feature of Service. During the offertory the anthem, "How Lovely Are the Messengers that Preach Us the Gospel of Peace," was effectively sung by the choir, composed of Mesdames Blagburn, Evans and Myers, the Misses Hunter and Story and Messrs. Jones, Grady, Smallwood, Stephenson and Wright. Indeed, the musical part of this beautiful service, under the direction of All Saints' organist, Mr. W. Elmer Keeton, was most devotional and faultlessly rendered. The offering, which was for Bishop Demby's work in Arkansas, amounted to $120. At the conclusion of the service the procession retired from the church in reverse order to that of entering, the Bishops going first and the choir last. Congregation Numbers Thousand. The congregation, in which was a large number of white people, numbered more than a thousand. Among the distinguished persons noticed in the congregation was Judge Dyer, who issued the injunction against the segregation ordinance which it was attempted to put in force in St. Louis some months ago. He is the uncle of Congressman L. C. Dyer, author of the federal anti-lynching bill. Both of these men are communicants of the Episcopal Church. Sister Leila Mary of the Sisterhood of St. Mary, an order of Colored Sisters, came on from Philadelphia to attend the consecration. The visiting Colored clergy present were: The Rev. E. Robert Bennett, Buffalo, N. Y.; the Rev. Shelton C. Bishop, Pittsburgh, Pa.; the Rev. John Bruce, Nashville, Tenn.; the Rev. W. H, DeClaybrook, Hot Springs, Ark.; the Rev Frederick C. Garrett, Memphis, Tenn.; the Rev. Daniel E. Johnson, D. D., Little Rock, Ark.; the Rev. D. E. Johnson, Jr., Keeling, Tenn.; the Rev. James E. King, Mason, Tenn.; the Rev. Henry Rahming, Kansas City, Mo.; the Rev. M. Roker, Muskogee, Okla.; the Rev. M. E. Spatches, Kansas City, Kan., and the Rev. John Albert Williams, Omaha, Neb. All the members of the Standing Committee of Missouri were also present. They are: Clerical—The Rev. Carroll M. Davis, D. D.; the Rev. Z. B. T. Phillips, D. D., and the Rev. J. Courtney Jones. Lay—Messrs. James Bull, C. M. Jennings and J. L. Ford. Mr. R. B. Bancroft of Little Rock, secretary of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Arkansas, came as a lay representative of that diocese, and the Rev. A. C. McCabe, Ph.D., of Dyersburg, Tenn., a warm friend of Bishop Demby's, was one of the representatives from Tennessee. The Rev. Leonard H. Burns was another of the St. Louis clergy present. Attorney H. R. Saddler, one of the vestrymens of Bishop Demby's old parish, Emmanuel, Memphis, was among those present in the congregation. At the celebration of the Holy Communion it was noted that members of both races, without the slightest-hesitation, kneeled side by side to receive the communion. This impressive and dignified function, considered an historic and epoem-making event, will doubtless do much to emphasize the truths for which the American Episcopal Church stands. Missionary Meeting in Afternoon. Missionary Meeting in Arterton. At 5 o'clock another large congregation was present, when three splendid addresses were made by Bishop Winchester, Archdeacon Johnson and Bishop Demby. Bishop Winchester's deep interest and sincerity in the progress and development of the Colored race, as he modestly told of his work among them from the time of his diaconate to the present, wah apparent to all. Among the many good things he said, incidentally, in his address, which was listened to with marked attention, was this: "This church stands and must stand against lynching and injustice, and for law and order." He told how eager he was to have the Episcopal Church do effective work among all people in Arkansas and how pleased he was the church had given him Bishop Demby to stand by his side and help him do that work. This was the anniversary of his own consecration and his brother bishop had this day received the same uction as himself. Archdeacon Johnson in his splendid address first cleared away the cobweb which he had reason to believe was obstructing the vision of some. He stated that this church has only three orders in her ministry—bishops, priests and deacons—and in their spiritual powers and functions each one who is ordained to either of these offices is the peer of his brother. The order of the priesthood is one. The offices may differ. For example, a priest may be a missionary, a rector, a dean or an archdeacon. These names are given him for offices he may fill. But whatever his office may be his order is that of a priest, and whatever priestly function he may perform it is valid by virtue of his priesthood. So with the episcopate. A priest is consecrated a bishop. He may be called a diocesan, a coadjutor, a suffragan, an archbishop, a presiding bishop, a metropolitan, if you please. All designate offices which he may fill. But he is a bishop and his episcopal acts are valid anywhere and everywhere. He then earnestly plead that Bishop Demby be loyalty supported in his work and given means to do it. He used very effectively the fourth Liberty loan slogan, "Don't let the Son go down," in pointing out the church's duty to support Bishon Demby. Bishop Demby made a most favorable impression in his address. He said he had answered the call to the episcopate realizing that it was a call to hard work. He told of the more than a million and a half of Negroes in the Province of the Southwest for whom the church could do a vast deal in lifting to higher Christian citizenship. He hoped to establish an orphanage to reach and save many cast-away children and train them for God and the nation. He hoped to establish schools for Christian education, so sadly needed. For constructive work it would take money and men; but he felt that if the people would pray earnestly for him and he should work faithfully, as by God's help he helped to do, he believed that God would send whatever was needful. His prayer would be for humility, wisdom and strength to do faithfully the work unto which he was called. Archdeacon Phillips of Philadelphia, the senior Colored priest of the church, presided, the brief service being conducted by Rev. John Albert Williams. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS COMING Famous Orator Who Has Been Thrilling Thousands by His Eloquence to Be Again Heard in Omaha; Will Speak at Calvary Baptist Church October 24th. Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, famous orator, who spoke before a large audience in the Auditorium several months ago, is to be heard again in Omaha sooner than was expected. He will speak under the auspices of Mount Moriah and Pilgrim Rest Baptist churches in Calvary Baptist church, Twenty-fifth and Hamilton street, Thursday night, October 24. Colonel Simmons has been speaking to immense audiences of both races in all sections of the country.

OMAHA MEN GOOD DRILLERS The seven young men who left Omlaha September 25 for Camp Pike are able to cope with men who have had four months of drilling. The second day at Camp Pike Arthur Edwards, Harold Bentley and LeRoy Kelly were appointed acting sergeants in the Ninety-third and Seventy-seventh casual companies. Aaron Glass, Leonard Gamble, George W. Carr and Oliver Melton were appointed corporals. Our appointments in that instance proved that our sacrifices and the untiring efforts of Lieutenants J. W. Pierce, Bob Robinson and J. Bass were not in vain. It was all accomplished by a proper salute, standing at attention and explaining the position of a soldier at "attention." Of course, our letters pushed us on over a great chasm. After seven days we were transferred. Leonard Gamble is the only member in the party not with us now. We were told by a comrade that he was honorably discharged. Fort Logan H. Root is a fine camp on a high hill, which furnishes a picturesque view over the neighboring plains and the city of Argentria. Upon our arrival we were shown quarters. Two days later Edwards, Bentley, and Kelly were given squads of men to drill. After laboring with them for three days we had them drilling with men who have had four months' training. Our commandants thus far have been real men and leaders. They have their eyes on us and we may have another adventure. We are drilling hard and studying. Since being here we have seen the following Omahans: "Mockle" Jackson, Alexander Kirtley and also Mr Walton, who belongs to Zion Baptist church choir. The boys join me in sending their best regards.

The Misses Ray Middleton, Pearl Ray, Cuma and Otis Watson, Darlene Duval and Cordelia Johnson hiked nine miles outside of Florence limits, and, after being convinced that Spanish flu could not exist in such a wonderful fresh air atmosphere, they, hungry and weary from the long jaundit, sat down and spread a sumptuous lunch.

D., Bishop of Tennessee, at Consecration of Bishop Denby. "I could wish that myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen in the flesh. (Romans i:3:X) The love of one's own race and loyalty to its welfare is a primordial instinct implanted in us by God. St. Paul, who more than any other man, was God's instrument in the founding of the Christian church, who for that reason was hated by the Jews and made the victim of their relentless persecution and calumny, never wavered for a moment in his love and in his loyal effort for what he believed was the best interest of Israel. The true Israel, he said, has not been discredited nor abandoned, but has become complete in Jesus Christ. So in this epistle his heart yearns for his own people scattered throughout the empire, oppressed, despised and hating Roman and Christian with spiritual pride and exclusive bigotry, and he breaks out in the passionate appeal, "I could wish my self accursed from Christ for their sake." "My heart's desire and prayer for Israel is that they might be saved," and he concludes with the vehement assertion, "I know all Israel shall be saved." This is the way in which the Apostle to the Gentiles loved his own people, and though he lived for Christ, suffered for Christ and died for Christ, he was, first, last and all the time a Hebrew of the Hebrews, a Jew in every beat of his heart and every thought of his mind. We are assembled here today to consecrate a Bishop, a leader and overseer in the church, who shall devote himself exclusively to work among his own people and give his life and thought to the moral and spiritual uplift of the Negro race. There is no nobler nor truer dedication of a man's life than that unselfish service in the name and faith of Christ to his own kindred and people; and it marks an epoch in the history of the American Episcopal Church, when leadership so important and so significant is entrusted to one of its own Negro priests. Its importance cannot easily be overestimated. "There are now about 10,000,000 people of Negro blood in the United States," Bishop Gailor said. "Under the federal constitution they are eligible to all the privileges of citizenship and are guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. During the past fifty years, with the encouragement and assistance of the white people, many individuals of the race have shown marked ability to take advantage of the opportunities which our American democracy has afforded them. Many thousand acres of land are owned by Negroes; many financial institutions are controlled by them; many schools and colleges are administered by them. And yet, as a race, the Negro in America has still great need of direction and leadership. "According to Bishop Thirkield, at one time president of Howard university, the Negro death rate is twice as high as that of the whites, and the death rate from tuberculosis three times as great; and there is a low moral standard, and ignorance and improvidence are prevalent among the masses. According to the last census report not more than 2,745,538 belong to any Christian denination. That leaves more than 6,000,000 who are unchurched. Certainly here is a call to leadership and direction which it were treason to Christianity to ignore." What, then are the qualifications for Christian leadership? They are four, viz: 1. A leader must have a clear conviction in his own mind of the goal towards which he is leading his followers. 2. He must have a clear and definite conviction of the means and method whereby that goal is to be obtained. 3. He must be endowed with sympathy to know and understand his fellow men. 4. He must have power of will and force of personal character. These are the qualifications of a leader in any kind of movement, whether in war or peace; but we are speaking now more especially of Christian leadership and therefore we may venture to define more specifically what these qualifications mean as ideals to be aspired after by a bishop in the Church of God. 1. First of all, then, a leader must know and be able to declare the nature of the goal to which he desires to direct men. To St. Paul that goal was salvation in Jesus Christ, the deelopment of moral and spiritual character by the power of the spirit after the THE MONITOR type and model of the perfect man. All the money, all the lands, all the wealth of the world, nay, all the trained intelligence with the widest knowledge of scientific facts and methods, will not save a people unless they have moral and spiritual character. This is the lesson of the Bible everywhere, of the Old Testament, of the New Testament, and salvation in Christ is the attainment of moral and spiritual character. The Germans have taught us, if we did not realize it before, that intellectual efficiency without moral principle is the attribute of the Prince of Devils. It is character, not mere intelligence nor brute courage, that is going to win this war. The first qualification of leadership is a sure conviction of whither the leader wishes to go and the goal; the end of Christian leadership is the attainment of moral and spiritual character in the power and spirit of Christ. 2. And the second qualification of leadership is a clear conviction of the truest and surest method and means by which this goal can be reached, and the Bible leaves us no room to doubt about that. St. Paul says to the young bishop whom he placed at Ephesus: "Give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine." A bishop must "be apt to teach." "Hold fast the form of sound words." And to the bishop he left at Crete he says: "Speak thou the things that become sound doctrine. Speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority." That means preaching and teaching the faith that has been handed down to us. But there is something more than preaching necessary. "By grace he are saved through faith." The apostle says: "Stir up the gift of grace that is in thee," for we are not only ambassadors of Christ, but "I could wish that but stewards of the mysteries of God." The purpose of Christian leadership is not merely that we should hear about Christ, but that we should be joined to Christ, not merely that we should know the good news of redemption, but that we should be partakers of the life of the redeemer; not merely that we should have aroused in us the feeling of need and the desire for help, but that we should actually receive within ourselves that power that overcomes evil and builds up character. So Christianity is more than the preaching of doctrine. It is the communication of a new life; it is a sacramental system. When St. Peter preached to the people on the day of Pentecost they were "pricked at the heart"—they were, as we say, converted, but St. Peter told them that was not enough. They must repent and be baptized. So some years afterwards when St. Peter went to Samaria and found those who had been baptized he completed their baptism by the laying on of hands. And from day until this ministers of the Christian church have been not only preachers of the word, but ministers of the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and holy communion. And from that day to this church has been what the prayer book calls "The Church Militant," an army in the field, trained and equipped to fight for truth and goodness, to overcome error and unrighteousness. And that implies organization and discipline. It implies authority and those who are commissioned to exercise it. It implies sacraments and those who are commissioned to administer them—obedience to orders and the reign of law. In our view of it, according to the teaching of scripture, the goal which the Christian leader must have clear before his mind is the attainment of Christian character; and the means by which that is to be achieved is obedience to the doctrine and the reverent use of the sacraments which Christ has ordained. III. The third qualification for leadership is sympathy. A leader must know his people and understand them, go in and cut among them, and sympathize with them in their weaknesses and strength, their ideals and hopes. The intelligent sympathy of a Christian leader is the greatest power that God can give a man for the work of helping and saving souls and the lack of it has often wrecked and ruined the career of men of great ability and genius. I remember reading the words of an eminent historian who said that the greatest social regeneration that was ever wrought since Christianity came into the world was accomplished by an humble-minded man whose chief distinction was his abounding sympathy as a sincere servant of Jesus Christ, and the man's name was St. Francis and he was born in a little Italian town called Assisi. St. Francis, in a wild and turbulent age, sim- ply tried to live and act like Christ. He saw Christ on earth in man and cast and flower, and he was a poet whose poetry expressed itself not in verse, but in character." He knew not so much the doctrine as the person of Christ and spoke only of Christ's love. He opposed no man, he denounced nothing, he framed no system, he did not wish to found an order of monks. He had no interest in being imitated. He merely wished to live his life as he conceived it, wandering about without money or possessions so that he might be free from care. And yet that life of his changed the world in which he lived, fascinated and compelled the rudest men of a barbarous age, created art, revived literature, awakened learning, remade society. It was the power of sympathy in the name and faith of Jesus Christ. IV. And the fourth qualification of leadership is that grace of God, call it what you please, force of will, sense of responsibility, resolute optimism which comes from the power of faith. It was this that enabled St. Paul to fight the good fight and to keep the faith even unto death, though his own people misunderstood and persecuted him, though the Romans imprisoned him. "Woe to me," he said, "If I preach not the gospel and 'Israel' (continued on Fifth Page.)

The biggest attraction at La Grange last week was the session of the executive board of the La Grange district association. It held its session in the Ebenezer Baptist church, Rev. S. A. Tillman, pastor. Nearly all of the pastors of the district were here. The women's convention board of the district, also held it session here, with a full board and many messengers for both boards. Unusually good and intelligent sermons throughout the sessions kept the spiritual fervor at a high pitch. Financially it was a success, both boards raising good sums. Moderator Ruffin said La Grange went over the top, both spiritually and financially. Misses Elliott May Dobbin, Delphine Oakes and Sallie Williams will try for the first time the teachers' road.

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP (Continued From: Seventh Page) (Continued From Seventh Page) must be saved." The obligation was upon him. It was his duty, his privilege, no matter what others might think or do. this was his business, the justification and joy of his life. It was this that inspired the great missionaries of the middle ages like Boniface to leave home and country and friends to carry the Gospel to heathen lands and it was this in our own time that sustained Bishop Hannington to lay down his life in the heart of darkest Africa. "The love of Christ constraineth us." Aye that immeasurable, irrestible love of Christ wherewith He loved us, may grip and hold and drive a man to deeds of heroic self-sacrifice for those who are his brethren in the Lord. This is the quality of leadership that makes every man and woman a leader and exalts the lowliest and humblest life, making each individual feel the responsibility of active service for the cause. It is this that our country is appealing to today, the sense of responsibility in each one of us to do something, to give something, to surrender something, to win the war. And, brethren, we must pray for it. It is a gift of God. A man may have a keen intelligence and certain conviction and real sympathy, but the compelling sense of personal responsibility is a grace that comes from heaven. It is the attribute of great souls like Washington and Lincoln and Wilherforce, who in dull and stupid times have broken through the barriers of safe conservatism and inaugurated movements for reform; who in days of distress and danger have stood up for principle in the face of loss; who have esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt. In the beginning the world gave them no honor. It never knew them, but the world is better for their having lived and they being dead yet speak to us with power. Let us pray God this morning that to all of us may be given the grace, that each of us in his time, according to his ability and opportunity may see and accept the obligation of loyal service; and that in full measure it may be granted to this brother of ours, who is commissioned for the complete self-offering on the altar of his people's hopes. And now, my brother: It is my duty and privilege to address to you some words of personal advice and counsel. What shall I say? You have been chosen to be a bishop and leader among your people. You will be invested with authority. You will be charged with grave responsibilities for your words and deeds. Indeed the Church puts her honor and good name in your hands to protect and defend. And who is sufficient for these things—to be a guide and pastor—to feed and to teach the church of God? Surely, it is a solemn and tremendous obligation; but it has power to create courage and to make manhood. For it is not our ability that counts after all. As St. Paul says it is the grace, gift the charisma that God bestows by the laying on of hands and, if we are faithful to the trust, He will take care of the results. Let this then be in your mind and heart always: You are above and before all else, the servant, the minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is your leader, your model, your ever-present friend and counsellor; and you can try to live close to him daily, more and more, united to him and loving him and whether men listen to you pr care for your sermons or not, they will see and understand your life and it is the life that tells. Sermons are forgotten, but personal character remains. Learning and eloquence and with and wisdom, argument and doctrines vanish like shadows, but what a man is in his daily conduct abides forever and is reproduced in the lives of others. "Virtue alone outlives the pyramids. Her monuments shall last when Egypt's fall." May God give you this grace and may He, the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever, Amen. When dark clouds gather be your own little sunbeam. QUALIFICATION OF South Side Notes Mr. George King and Mrs. Bogan handed their many friends a surprise when it was announced that they had been quietly married on Saturday, September 28, at the home of the bride's son, Willie Bogan.

The Sunday school at 9:30 o'clock, morning and afternoon service, were well attended. Mrs. Tennell of Kansas City is visiting her sister. Mrs. Moberly, 4414 South Twenty-fifth street. National Race Congress Convenes (Continued from First Page.) this granted, Rev. J. C. Austin, D. D., Pittsburgh, Pa., breathed a word of revent prayer. Judge Harrison then stated completely the case and the cause of the Negro to the president in language chaste, lucid, sympathetic, positive, forceful and replete. As bold as Paul on Mars Hill, he pointed out the many discriminations against his race in this nation and, appealing to the Christian virtues of the president of the nation, prayed that these injustices cease. Assured the president as a matter of repetition that the race was with him in winning the great war and in doing any and everything else that was Catholic in spirit and democratic in purpose, operation and effect. The president was moved to tears as the judge plead the cause of his race. In response the president assured the delegation that the spokesman had interpreted his spirit and said that he would do everything that was in his power to right all wrongs complained of and would hasten as fast as he could the kind and sort of demercy that he stood for and that the spokesman mentioned.
