GROWING. THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Socialist Candidate States His Position Rev. George Frazier Miller, Rector of St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, Nominee for Congress, Frankly States Principles for Which He Stands in an Open Letter. ISSUES NOTABLE DOCUMENT Candidate Opposes Oppression and Exploitation Everywhere; Advocates Statesmanlike International Program; Domestic Policy Sane and Comprehensive. NEW YORK. Oct. 31.—The Rev. George Frazier Miller, rector of St. Augustine's Episcopal church, Brooklyn, who was recently nominated by the socialists for congress, in "an open letter to the citizens of the Twenty-first congressional district, the American people and a reply to the National Security league," has clearly stated the policy he advocated and the principles for which he stands. It is a notable document, setting forth a statesmanlike domestic and international governmental policy with the wisdom of which there will be very large agreement upon the part of people who think. This frank, clear-cut statement will be a revelation to many of the new political vision dawning upon the minds of well-trained and thoughtful men and women of the Colored race throughout the country. The letter is in full as follows: I have been nominated for congress to represent the district named above. It was not of my seeking, nor did I respond readily to the call when summoned for service. It was only after urgent appeals repeatedly, made from various sources, and a unanimous nomination by the socialist party in state convention assembled, that I consented finally to make the contest upon which I have now embarked. However much I might have been indisposed to the holding of public office — or however much the very thought of it was foreign to my taste or expectation—now that I have yielded to the earnest wish of my comrades and those who have selected me to represent them, it becomes me, in justice to them and all who have staked a hope on me, to enter the campaign in all earnestness and vigor, doing all that lies within my power, in an honest and upright way, bent ardently upon the purpose of winning this election. A questionnaire was recently addressed me—as to all candidates for congress—by the National Security league for the purpose of ascertaining my principles and policies that it, in turn, might inform the public as to my qualification or worthiness of becoming a representative of the people in the nation's congress. I gladly avail myself of the opportunity afforded by the inquiries of the National Security league into my principles, not alone to furnish it the information sought, but to seize this moment as advantageous to let my policies be known to the voters of the New York Twenty-first congressional district and the people of the nation at large. Question—What has been the candidate's position since July, 1914, on preparedness? Answer—I believed in a thorough preparedness, not for aggression or conquest, but for evincing the strength which safeguards against assault and all social safeguards against exploitation. Q. In what way is the candidate directly on record as expressing these views? A. Not on record. Q.—Is the candidate's present position the same as given in answer to (A) ? A.—Yes. Q.—What was the candidate's viewpoint about the United States entering the war prior to the declaration of war, April 5, 1917? A.—While not seeking war, I voted in 1916 against President Wilson, whose re-election was won upon the cry, "He kept up out of war." Q.—What record exists embodying these views? A.—I know of none. Q.—Have the candidate's views since changed regarding the participation of the United States in the war? A.—They have not. Q.—Will the candidate pledge himself to be an advocate of peace with victory, by which is meant a vigorous prosecution of the war until Germany, Austria and Turkey concede the claims of the allies? THE MONITOR A. I am profoundly in sympathy with the cause of the allies so far as the crushing and annihilation of kaiserism, Prussianism, all autocracy, plutocracy, oligarchy and spoilage are concerned; but if by the expression, "until Germany * * * concede the claims of the allies," is meant the crushing of all the German people, especially the proletariat, the great masses of the submerged and oppressed, the working classes, out of whose blood and sweat Royalty and Autocracy live in pomp and ease and hold a mastery of men, I am not. I oppose oppression, exploitation and profiteering in any form, anywhere, everywhere. I am the advocate of the working classes, of whatever nation, color or creed. Q. By what achievements in politics, business or professional life has the candidate demonstrated his ability to cope with the problems of the nation?

MULLEN, democratic national committeeman, has written a letter to the Omaha Daily News in which he says his position on woman suffrage has been misrepresented. He says he is in favor of equal suffrage, but opposed to the federal amendment because he considers the question of suffrage one that should be dealt with by each state. "My name appears on the initiative petition for woman suffrage filed with the secretary of state in 1915, and I supported and voted for the suffrage amendment in that year," said Mr. Mullen. "I suggested to some of the suffrage leaders soon after the legislation convened in 1917 that a suffrage amendment to the constitution be introduced, but they opposed the idea. I believe the legislature would have passed—Nebraska would have adopted it." Mullen said he favored the extension of suffrage to women along the lines of the plank in the 1916 democratic national platform, which favored action state by state. "I am in favor of Nebraska extending the right of suffrage to every one, regardless of sex or color." Mullen said. He added that he believed the Southern states were justified in imposing educational or property requirements, so as to limit the franchise.

Importar Important Notice Owing to the increased cost of publication, a new schedule of prices having gone into effect October 10th, The Monitor is compelled to increase its advertising rates. The new rates will become effective November 1st. Our circulation has rapidly increased since our former rates were established and therefore we should have raised our rates correspondingly before this time. There is a great demand for advertising space in our columns and for this, of course, there is a reason. Increased cost of publication compels us, and increased circulation justifies us, in advancing our advertising rates. Remember, please, that the new rates for advertisements go into effect November 1st. Another important matter: The war industries board has ordered newspapers and magazines to cut off all complimentary copies, etc., to send papers only to bona fide Paid Subscribers, all subscriptions being payable in advance, and to allow no returned unsold copies from newsboys and agents. This means, of course, that if you wish to receive the paper regularly through the mail, which is the wisest and safest way, YOU MUST PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ADVANCE. It means that agents must pay for whatever number of copies they order. The Monitor has been quite lenient with delinquent subscribers, believing them and still believing them to be honest and therefore willing to pay their subscriptions. The ruling of the war industries board compels us to secure payment from all subscribers or else stop sending them the paper. We don't want to stop your paper. We don't believe you want us to stop it. We want to continue sending it to you every week, but we want you to help us double our subscription list by sending us a new subscriber. Don't compel us to stop your paper. Please send in your subscription promptly by check, draft or post office money order.

R. MAKES BITTER COMMENT THERE was something doing in politics this week. Everything seemed to be going on serenely until the president happened to inject a little partisanship into campaign matters. It seems that he gave out the impression that only democrats could be depended upon to support him, although his strongest support has come from the republicans. The first gun of opposition sounded when Chairman Hays, of the Republican National Committee, scored the chief executive heavily for his unjust discrimination against republicans and upon the floor of the senate the fight was led by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, and followed by the leading republican lights. The democrats, headed by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, attempted to block the storm, but made little showing before the men who have always been the brains of the senate. Theodore Roosevelt answered the president Monday night at Carnegie Hall, New York, and apparently received the unanimous applause of the Notice Vol. IV. No.18 (Whole No.174) thousands who crowded to hear him. In the course of his address he remarked: "If Mr. Wilson had really meant to disregard politics, he would at once constructed a coalition, non-partisan cabinet, calling the best men of the nation to the highest and most important offices under him without regard to politics. He did nothing of the kind. In the positions most vital to the conduct of the war, and in the positions now most important in connection with negotiating peace, he retained or appointed men without the slightest fitness for the performance of the tacks, whose sole recommendation was a supple eagerness to serve Mr. Wilson personally and to serve Mr. Wilson's party insofar as such service benefitted Mr. Wilson." Contrasting the president's appeal with Lincoln's "outright refusal, even in the darkest days of the civil war, to apply any party test to fitness for office," the colonel said that Lincoln appealed to all loyal men of all parties and asked that the candidates for congress be judged, not by the standard of adherence to his personal administration, but by their unconditional support of the war." Election of a republican congress, the colonel continued, "would be understood abroad as meaning that the pro-German and pacifists and bolshevists and Germanized socialists could no longer be counted upon as efficient and tortuous tools, that the fighting men and not the rhetoricians were uppermost." Mr. Roosevelt interpreted the president's reference to the "anti-administration" attitude of republican members of congress as based on waste and extravagance be remedied" in the war-conducting departments. "We republicans pledge ourselves to stand by the president so long as he stands by the American people and to part company from him, at any point where in our judgment he does not stand by the people," he said. "This is the people's government, this is the people's war and the peace that follows shall be the people's peace." He asserted that the president's latest notes had placed him in such a position that he had either to "sacrifice America and humanity" or to "respond in such a manner as to stultify his own diplomacy and repudiate his own implied offer." "It was not a pleasant thing for America that he should have put himself and the nation behind him in the position of inviting a proposition which, when accepted, he repudiated," declared the colonel. "For the very reason that I abhor Germany's trickery, treachery and bad faith. I am most anxious that Americans shall not imitate her in these matters."

Black Mandarin Of The Chinese Adam Butler, in The Favorite Magazine, Gives Interesting Account of Mandarin of China Whose Grandfather Was African. SUN PA MIGHTY MAN IN CHINA PERHAPS the strangest sight I saw druing my sojourn in China was at Kienton, an interior city that is scarcely accessible to the ordinary tourist. But as I was Colored—a descendant of the African jungles and yellowish brown in complexion—the prime minister smiled upon me and gave me the necessary passports. To him I was no foreign devil, as he calls the average American or European, but one who, like himself, feels the weight of Caucasian domination. The journey was an unpleasant one. China is a beautiful country, but she has many disagreeable odors. She wallows in fifth somewhat like a sleeping dog. For her colors she gives you the nausea of her laziness. She nods over the heavy books of the scholars, while her gardens lie in rack ruin and her people are stiffed with superstition. After I had left Shanghai with my coolie servant and a guide we pushed deep into the wilderness until, after two days, we landed at the gates of Kienton. A mob of beggars besieged me with their droning supplication and almost worshipped me when I threw them a few coins equal to about 25 cents in our money. Imagine how far 25 cents would go among our beggars! Twenty-five cents is a poor man's tip in the United States, and he who gives it need not expect to be worshipped like a Buddha. We stopped at the most comfortable hut in the town. Kienton is a sleep place. Sometimes I think it is the home of the opium god. The inn was as quiet as a Brooklyn cemetery and the town as hot and close as Broadway in mid-summer. During the cool of the day we visited several interesting spots in Kienton. We stood at the portals of the Temple of the Sacred Dragon, as magnificent a building as can be found in the heart of China. We did not enter, because, according to the guide, none but believers could tread the corridors and none but priests of the Sacred Dragon could penetrate the Holy of Holies. We stood at the spot where, according to the natives, Confucius publicly chastised an emperor of the Flowery kingdom; and on the other hand we drank tea in what we call a public house. There were hideous Chinese girls, over whom a dark-browed master stood with a lash in his hand ready to whip as he would a horse any unfortunate wretch among them who failed to do his bidding. If I should live a thousand years I will never forget his wolffish teeth and the evil flame in his eye. Poor China! To allow her womanhood to be debased in such a fashion! After we left the public house we walked a short distance, stopped a moment or so at the Sacred Grove and went on until we reached an impressive house, surrounded by tea gardens and rich Oriental foliage. "It is the house of Sun Pa, the mandarian," the guide informed me. "Yes, Sun Pa. He is a mighty man in these regions. His grandfather came from a far-off country and was dark like the mantle of the goddess of dusk." "From a far-off country?" "Yes; somewhere beyond the desert that lies near Ethiopia." "Ah! An African. May I see him?" "I will see." Soon the guide returned to inform me that his exalted highness would deign to see such a dog as I of foreign lands msut be. How grateful I was to his exalted highness for comparing me to a dog! I was ushered into the mandarin's audience chamber. I was left standing until in a few moments the reed curtains parted and I stood face to face with Sun Pa, the black mandarin of China. Sun Pa is decidedly Negro. He is slightly darker than the average Mongolian; his nose is flatter than the average Negro's nose, and his lips are heavy. His hair is Mongolian in type and his eyes are slit like the average Chinman's eyes. His frame is huge and covered with extremely gorgeous robes. In fact, I think his giant physique helps to make him a power among a people naturally small and saturated with superstition. He spoke in French.

Custom has stood sponsor for many of the crimes enacted against the Negro. The one that has been the cause of more bitterness and prejudice than any other has been the license of the white man with the Negro woman and the protest of the white woman and the black man against it. The liberty granted the Negro woman to freely accept the association of the white male seemd to increase the desire in both parties to consummate this liaison to the moral detriment of the black race. For tradition in the south says that the white man can do no wrong. So if there is wrong done, only the black race is held responsible. The black man resents this in every conceivable manner that is within his power and sometimes he suffers the loss of his life when voicing his objections too loudly. The others of his race pray for the time to come when his women cease to be the filching ground for the depraved white man. As to the white woman and her cognizance of this condition it will be found in her attitude and manner when treating with the women of our race. She is ever resentful, vindictive and prejudiced, in all things concerning the Negro woman. Knowing of these relations of white men and Negro women is the one reason why the southern white women so bitterly opposed the admittance of the Colored women into the Red Cross. FRED C. WILLIAMS.

Sioux City, Ia., Oct. 31.—Colored women are not taking full advantage of the United States employment service, according to a statement made here Friday by Mrs. Lillian Larimore, superintendent of the women's division. The records of the employment service show that of the first 1,000 women who visited the office barely a dozen of them were Colored. Mrs. Larimore stated that although the office is sought out by men, the Colored women do not often appear. The service is anxious to place women in positions which pay well and which they can fill without injury to their health. Among the jobs open to Colored women are many in hotels, factories and private homes. (The Monitor suggests that if positions generally were opened to Colored women there might be more applicants.)

CARD OF THANKS THE MONITOR Secretary Man of Great Attainments Secretary Man of Great Attainments Newarker Who Met Him Gives Impressions of Him at Work. BY ROBERT A. TRAVIS In the Newark (N. J.) Daily Ledger, October 6, 1918. SOME months ago, or, to be exact, on Friday, May 17, George Creel, director of the National Bureau of Information at Washington, D. C., said to the writer, in speaking of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war: "A wonderful man, a remarkably efficient man, brilliant, of inestimable value to the war department." These words were in our mind as we were being led by a marine Thursday morning through the lobby and down the aisles of the west side of the first floor of the war department building to Room 131, in which Mr. Scott has his office. Entering the main entrance of the war department building, one is immediately impressed with the air of business-like bustle. Here there is no loafing. Every one is on his or her job with 100 per cent energy. Entering the office of the special assistant secretary, one realizes that here is a work shop. Four expert male stenographers are seated at desks piled up with correspondence and printed matter in orderly array, pounding typewriter keys at a high rate of speed. We are greeted by one of these. Our errand being stated, we are advised that Mr. Scott has stepped out of the office for a moment and we are introduced to Private Secretary Davis. One glance at Secretary Davis, the shape of his head, the alertness of his eye, the air of high efficiency which seems to be all about him, and it is quickly realized that one of the things which has contributed to Mr. Scott's success is his ability to pick men. A five or ten-minute wait and Secretary Scott enters. Even in the formalities of greeting one could not resist the temptation to seek to study the subconscious man while gazing into the face of the visible. Here is he upon whom the hopes of the 12-000,000 black Americans rest. In appearance youthful. In demeanor, quiet; cultured, rather than dignified, with a total absence of ostentation. Quiet in speech. Precise in action and word. A master of details, as was demonstrated by his giving attention to and rendering decision on four separate matters, without even a noticeable break in his words of greeting. Truly, the president has wrought wisely and well in the selection of Mr. Scott, and the race is justified in feeling proud of the fact that it possesses as one of its own a man of the high caliber and remarkable abilities of the special assistant to the secretary of war, Emmett J. Scott. HAITIAN MINISTER SUMMONED BY DEATH Washington, D. C., Oct. 31.—Solon Menor, Haitian minister to the United States, died at the legation, 1429 Rhode Isand avenue, Monday, October 14, from pneumonia. The remains will be interred in Haiti. He leaves a widow and three children. He was 59 years of age and was a graduate of several notable institutions in France and Germany. He served as minister-resident here during the Roosevelt administration and was returned here during the present Haitian regime. His association was mainly that of diplomatic circles. 12 KILLED IN RACE RIOT IN GEORGIA Seven Negro Soldiers and Five Porto Ricans Dead in Fight at Government Plant. Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 31.—Seven Negro soldiers and five Porto Rican laborers are reported killed in rioting last night at the government picnic acid plant near here. Soldiers and naval reserves have been sent to the scene. Bellington, W. Va., Oct. 31.—A dispute over a $20 calf, which began two years ago and litigation over which has cost $1,000, is now in the supreme court, where at least another $1,000 will be spent. The calf has disappeared—it is now a cow. Coleridge-Taylor's prelude to "Nero" was among numbers played by the Royal Artillery band at a service for munition workers given in St. Paul's cathedral, London, and at which the king and queen were present. Harriet Turner, an American interpreter of Negro songs, will sing under the auspices of America's Overseas league in the hospital for wounded soldiers in France. COLORED MAN BUYS $100,000 LIBERTY BONDS Shreveport, La., Oct. 31.—The largest known subscription to the Liberty I oan in Caddo parish to date—$100, 000—was made by a Negro, David H. Haynes, of Vivian, who became wealthy with discovery of oil on his land. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 31.—Upward of $5,000 worth of the fourth Liberty loan bonds were taken by the employees of the National Baptist Publishing board in a special service which was given by the board to its employees.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST THIS phrase was used by an eminent scientist to express a truth which he had discovered in pursuing a certain line of study in his chosen field. He had noticed that in the struggle for existence the weaker types in plant and animal life always succumbed to the stronger and ultimately perished. The stronger survived. And the stronger was always that which could adapt itself to its environments that is to say to the conditions by which it was surrounded. If it were strong enough to meet those conditions it survived; if not it perished, and so he enunciated this truth, which has become current in the scientific world as the expression of a well-known law or principle universally applicable. We suggest that you observe how this principle runs throughout all. It has an important bearing upon our time and people. The fit survive; the unfit perish. The fit physically, the fit intellectually, the fit morally, the fit spiritually survive. New conditions confront us as a people; are we husbanding and developing all our resources, adapting ourselves to our environment, if you please, so that we may survive. Lay to heart this truth: "The survival of the fittest," and do all that lies within you to be fit to survive. On next Tuesday the citizens of the United States will go to the polls to exercise their right to express, by their ballots, their preferment for the men who shall handle the governmental affairs of the states and nation. It is a solemn duty and one that should be thought of seriously and long. For whom must I vote? Is this the best man? Is he sincerce or is he a mere politician? Is he a friend of the people or an instrument of the interests? Is he an enemy of mine and my country? Particularly hard is it for the Colored citizen to decide, but remember this: If any man is an enemy to your race, he is also an enemy to your country. That is the essence of democracy in its broadest meaning. In New York state the Colored people are swinging into line for three Colored candidates on the socialist ticket, one for congress and two for the state assembly. We hope these candidates win, for if the socialist party is broad enough to nominate our men for offices along with men of the other race, we are broad enough to defend their party, even though we may not be in harmony with everyone of its principles. Between the democratic and republican parties there is little to choose. The one does not want us and the other has betrayed us and there are few intelligent Negroes who would care to beat the air in defense of either. But inasmuch as we have here no party that has taken up our fight along with its own, we can only advise that our voters vote as they think best. If you don't know, inquire; but never cast a vote for a man who has at any time or in an season proven that he has not wished us well in our struggle towards the realization of all the rights which belong to us and which have been deined us. THE DIFFERENCE Courtesy is a little thing and a thing of which we, as a people are sometimes careless. Recently George Wells Parker, contributing editor of The Monitor, sent a large number of complimentary copies of The Children of the Sun, to various race men and journals, as well as to various well known white journals. In checking up the acknowledgements, it is found that everyone of the forty-two white journals wrote letters of thanks and only two, The Detroit Leader and The Crusader, of race journals sent let- Women's Dark Grey, High Cloth Top Shoes, $8.00 value, for.....$2.98 Boys' Heavy Solid School Shoes, regular $4.50 values, for.....$3.50 Girls' High Top Dark Brown Shoes, regular $5.50 values, for.....$3.98 Men's Dark Brown Shoes, regular $9.00 values, for.....$6.75 Men's Dress Pants, $3.50 values, for.....$2.75 Men's Hosiery, pair.....25c Women's Waists, at.....$1.25 Boys' Wash Suits, ages 2 to 6, at.....$1.45 Men's Arrow Brand Shirts.....$1.98 Men's Monarch Shirts.....99c 4 POLITICS ters of acceptance. What was the reason for the lack of courtesy on the part of the rest? Too busy, perhaps, but are there any race men more busy than Theodore Roosevelt, to whom a copy was sent and who took the time to answer with a most pleasant letter of acceptance over his own signature? More busy than Senator Norris*of Nebraska, who wrote a long letter of thanks and who took the time to call the attention of Senator Vardaman of Mississippi to the book? More busy than the editor of The Liberator, who wrote at length concerning the work and expressed deep pleasure in receiving a cop that so thoroughly sets at naught the attitude of the American white man toward the Negro? More busy than the forty odd other white editors and men who, even though the book struck a deadly blow at their preconceived ideas, yet had the polite courtesy to answer that the book had been received and expressed thanks for its reception? We, as a people, have lots to learn yet and one of the first things is courtesy to each other. POLITICS ADJOURNED? NOT MUCH We have heard it loudly proclaimed from the seat of government that politics are adjourned for the period of the war. Would that this were so. It would have been so and could have been so if those in power could have been broad enough to have ignored party lines and called to the service of the government as cabinet officers the brainiest men in the nation irrespective of party. We are not sure that even a republican administration would have been broad enough for that; certainly the democratic administration was not. It has of course addressed itself to the task of winning the war, no one can deny that, but not with an eye single to that paramount issue. Side by side with this there has undoubtedly been the building up of a great political maline to keep the democratic party in power. A blind man can easily see this. President Wilson's intrusion into and dictation in the political affairs of several states, no matter how beneficial or detrimental to certain interests and influences that intrusion may have been, shows that when President Wilson declared that politics had adjourned for the period of the war he was speaking purely in a Pickwickian sense. FOR JUSTICE WITHIN In a recent address at Washington Bishop Charles Gore of Oxford, England, said: "It is necessary that we crush Germany, but it is also necesasry that the allies convince the workers that they are fighting not only for the overthrow of their foes from without but are as well fighting for liberty and justice to all classes, creeds and colors within. If with the overthrow of Germany this is not accomplished the war will only have been partially won. This is the thought I am trying to get into the minds of all the people with whom I come in contact. "We must have it thoroughly understood that militarism is but a necessity of the moment and in no sense a permanent institution. Democracy under a military system is an impossibility." "POR LO" KNEW The following story was going the rounds of the paragraphers last summer. In view of President Wilson's recent appeal to elect none but democrats to congress, because "politics is adjourned for the period of the war!" is quite apropos. Here is the story: "An Indian out in South Dakota had offered himself for enlistment in the army. The recruiting officer THE MONITOR thought to 'spoof' him a bit. 'Do you know what the war is about?' he asked of the Indian. 'Sure, we know,' was the reply. 'Yes, but do you understand what we're fighting for, John?' 'Sure, me know—make whole dam' world safe for democratic party.' Claudie C. Nethaway, who bears an unsavory suspicion since the death of his wife some months back, has entered the political lists by petition and is running for sheriff. His three and only planks are as follows: "An anti-nigger lover and a Pro-German hater." "Will have a white man running court house elevator." "Will spend $2,000 out of my wages in next three years for Negro exclusion from Florence." Some planks, what? Go to it, Claudie. The citizens of Douglas county had enough of you some time ago and would be afraid to have you anywhere's around. You're dangerous little piece of chees and limburger at that. SOUNDS NO UNCERTAIN NOTE Those who will read the declaration of principles enunciated by Geo. Frazier Miller, socialist candidate for congress from New York, will be impressed with the fact that he knows where he stands and for what he stands. He sounds no uncertain note. The Monitor hopes for his election and wishes him well deserved success. Three months ago a new magazine made its appearance upon the uncertain seas of journalism. It was nothing extraordinarily pretentious; simply a neat and attractive looking journal that was a cedit to the staff editing it. In our office we have the three numbers and as we glance over them, we are struck with a new note that has been all but neglected by the other of our race journals. It assumes, and that rightly, that our race is weakened by the teachings of "Alien Education;" that the white man finds it to his purpose to keep the Negro ever in the belief that he is an inferior being and that he can never hope beyond "his place" in this scheme of worldly things. The Crusader recognizes that the Negro has a place, but it is not the place which the white male has tried to make for him. It recognizes that he has a big place in the world to fill, a place worthy of the heritage which is his from ages gone by. Africa for the Africans, is its cry and it supplies the proof to claim for Africa a place among the polities of the world. We congratulate the editor, Mr. Cyril V. Briggs and staff, upon the fine little journal, and wish for it and them a continued prosperity and enlarged family of readers. It is a worthy venture and eventually the American Negro will awaken to the fact this is the best magazine for him—the kind of work that will stimulate him to swider usefulness and greater pride in himself and in his race. Success to The Crusader. Now there's one great big idea that the world war has given us to hang onto our watch chains as a charm and our ear rings as a pendant. Always FITZGERALD M. A judge of exemplary character. One who has never drawn the line of distinction between religion or race. He has served the people during the past two years as police magistrate and his conduct has been such that he is justly entitled to a second term. No matter what your politics are, you should vote for JAMES M. FITZGERALD for re-election as police magistrate. CLAUDIE'S PLANKS THE CRUSADER SKITS OF SOLOMON hug the earth. Never get the Kaiser Bill attitude toward this planetary footstoll and imagine that you've got the scissors hold on the infinite and that everyone else is a frivolous fraction of the genus homo. It doesn't work well on general principles. Humanity doesn't mind being jabbed in the ribs once in a while, providing you mean to call its attention to the gentle paths of rectitude, but when you set a beacon in your belfry and think you're the light of the world and all else is darkness and utter desolation, its dollars to doughnut holes someone is going to make you run out of acetylene gas. When you start that kind of stuff you may as well place your order with the undertaker because your noise has the sound of a benediction. Hug the earth. You are nothing but dust anyway and there is no use trying to mix dust and ozone to the discomfort of other people. Stay down with us so that we won't have to get a crimp in our mastoid muscles from rubbering up into the air to find you. Hug the earth, because the mazuma and three squares are only possible down there. Only angels live on air and none of us human ciphers are built on angelic specifications. Hug the earth and get what's coming to you. Only an aviator has any chance with the blue sky and fleecy clouds, and sometimes he hasn't much. Hug the earth. Obvious Observations The Literary Digest of last week has the picture of the Colpred Georgian who has given eleven sons to the army and has three more to go. If that isn't doing his bit, please tell us what it is? Pershing is quoted as saying: "Boys, its hell, heaven or home by Christmas!" and the way his Yanks are going it looks like home. Even the Germans are beginning to hand Foch some flowers on the way he has trimmed them after they thought he couldn't be trimmed. The Germans say they want peace, but they haven't stopped their dirty work. It might also be noted that the allies haven't stopped handling the Germans hell, either. Have you ever read the new Colored magazine called The Crusader? It is a warm little member of the magazine family, believe me, Mabul. When it comes right down to the real thing, we believe that we could wiggle through with a little less rain. Now is the time that our coal bins begin to make a noise like money. Each shovel full means about two bits. It is sure a relief to know that the "flu" has decided to flew the coop. The bets are placed for everything from three months to three years on the end of the war. We lay our bets on less than three months. Thanking you kindly for your most earnest and undivided attention, we will now flop down the cellar and try to coax the furnace. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. ALBERT W.

Some Are Centuries Old, But in State | mg Pt That Would Put Many American Parkways to Shame. cuales: aie Veiee BY FRED S. FERGUSON, basal Sain United Press Staff Corresponden:, |_——_—— WY “Deatnn: Get: 26— An awe hay France, Oct. 26.—An army may “fight on its stomach,” bu* it must be able to travel on roads. The roads of France are one of the marvels of the great war, Without the wonderful roads, some of which are centuries old, and with- out the work constantly being done on these roads, it would have been all but impossible for Marshal Foch to move and shift his troops as i: has been necessary for him to do. No reads anywhere in the world have been put to such a test and re- ceived such punishment as the roads of France during the last four years. In spite of this, however, most Amer- ican cities would be proud to have in their parks such roads as are imme- diavely back of the battle lines. To keep the roads in shape means constant attention. Poad workers are always on duty back of the battle zone. Ruts are filled with crushed rock; a thin layer of dirt is then put over the rock nd carefully rolled, Traffic Is Heavy. Thousands of heavy trucks, guns and wagons cons‘antly are moving over the French roads. A bad stretch of road means delay. This delay may mean failure of ammunition or sup- plies to he on hand when most needed. ‘The Germar high command has held a natural advantage in the railroad system behind its lines. This has had to be overcome by use of the French highways. Long lines of camions carry thousands of French, American or British soldiers from one point to an- other :o take their places in the battle line. Everything possible in the allied armies has been “motorized.” The burden upon the French roads has be- come heavier and heavier. But when the full story of the allied vietory is written, a full share of honor will go to the roads of France, the men whe utilized them ané the men who kep* them up. The French roads are made of 3 soft limestone or hard chalk. The stone is crushed, or cracked, by hund into small pieces, and in repairing a bad piece of road the entire highway is resurfaced. The stone ig dampened and rolled, a layer of earth then is put on the stone, this dampened and roll- ed, and the roadbed becomes like one solid piece of stone. Roads Are Not Muddy. The main French highways are never muddy, as muddy roads are known in America. They become shiny and slippery after heavy rains, due to tocscning of the layer of earth; but the bed of the road remains as firm and hard as though entirely dry. Trucks, automobiles and wagons are never stalled unless they happen to run off the road or into the ditch. ‘Americans may be seen working on the roads in France. During the re- cent advance from the Marne, road- makers followed close behind the ad- vaneing fighting troops. In war of movement everything de- pends upon transport. It was nothing uncommon to see three distinct lines of traffie moving over one road in the wake of the Americans who pushed forward from :he Marne to the Vesle, Only firm, smooth roads made this possible, Ruts and holes were worn in the rouds by the heavy traffic, but they were refilled speedily. Temporary re- pairs conetantly were being made. Then, as the advance swung forward and traffic from what was once the immediate rear became lighter, entire sections of road were resurrected.

CANAVAN. oe reports filtering back from the fighting front in France have added the final touch of amplification to the phrase contained im a German official stetement when the hig drive by Aemrican troops was at its heights a few weeks ago, and which noted that “black Americans” wl hammered their way gloriousl; through the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle was over that the brigade commander suinmoned the colonel of a Negro regiment before him and demanded to know in terse military fashion why that colonel had not, maintained better control over his trogps, and why, above everything else, he had not “stopped” his men and kept them from passing beyond their appointed ob- jectives, and, in fact, hacking their way through ahead of their own pro- tective barrage. “Stop them?” queried the colonel. “Stop them? Hell, man, how could you expect me to stop them when the whole German army couldn't do it?” The brigade commander's reply is not of record, either officially or un- officially, but the story is only one of a thousand that is being told of the almirable dash and courage of the Americans who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary force and which every day are out there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit, WHY ABEL V. SHOTWELL SHOULD BE ELECTED County Attorney of Douglas County, Nebraska. A’ this critical period of our exist- ence the country generally is calling for 100 per cent Americans, who are able, fearless and fair-minded men, to ‘fill all of the national, state, county and municipal offices. The office of county attorney is one ‘that is very important, as its chief duty is to protect the interests of the state in this county, to make this county a desirable place for law-abid- ing citizens to live in, to prosecute felons of every sort and stand fairly behind the government and ‘insist on prosecuting this world war to a suc cessful end, and thereby gein an en- during peace. Mr. Abel V. Shotwell has all of the high characteristics which the office of county attorney should possess: First—He is a very able lawyer, Second—He is honest and reliable. Third—He is obligated to no man or number of men. Fourth—He has no color or race prejudice, Fifth—He will be the county at- torney of all of the people of Douglas county, Nebraska. Last, but not least, he is a staunch republican and believes in “justice to- | ward all and malice toward none.” The undersigned is well acquainted ‘with Mr, Shotwell and has had a great deal of legal dealing with him, and will vouch for his honesty and ability, and would recommend that every voter, regardless of polities, should vote for Abel V. Shotwell for county attorney of Douglas county, Nebraska. (Signed) AMOS P. SCRUGGS. —Arivertisement. MARSHALL FOCH REBUKES SOUTHERN AMERICANS A story has just reached this side of the Atlantic that certain southern influences endeavored to have the great French Marshal, Foch, issue or- ders segregating Colored officers and soldiers in France, ‘The marshal is vaid to have replied: “Gentlemen, when General Pershing came to France he found a black man at the head of the French army. France hag no color prejudice and persecutes no man on account of color or creed.” The head of the army to whom Marshal Foch referred was the re- nowned General Dodds, who won for France her great African colonial empire and was to have had charge of the ullied armies before Pekin, but for the prejudice of the Ameri- cans. General Dodds also was in com- mand of the expeditionary forces which invaded Alsace at the com- mencement of the world war. He is said never to have lost a battle, ELEVEN STARS IN SERVICE FLAG Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 31,—In Atlanta’s great Service Flag parade, composed of white and Colored divisions, the star marcher, whose picture was fea- tured in the papers next day, was an old Colored man named Isaac Sims. ‘Though 78 years old he marched along with his service flag, with its eleven stars in two installments, one on each shoulder, Three of his sons are in France and eight more in the training camps. Three others registered Sep- tember 12 and wait their call. What family is doing more toward hustling the Hun out of other folks’ “place in the sun”? Food Question Most Important Raising Food Bigger Question Than Earning Living, Says Dr, Haynes, Director of Negro Economics, Now on Southern Tour. RACES ARE CO-OPERATING Ve D. C., Oct. 24.— ‘The urgent need of grain and other food to supply our allies, as well as ourselves, if our enemy is finally to be vanquished, is being impressed upon the South by Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro economics, now on a tour of the Southern states. Dr. Haynes said in an address at Ocala, Florida: “If we are going to raise the food needed for our soldiers, our allies and ourselves at home, every man and woman who can help in the garden or on the farm can see that it is his or her patriotic duty to join in. This is a bigger question than earning a liv- ing; it comes to be a question of work- ing to have the food on which to fight to save ourselves and other peoples from German slavery. Every land- owner can now see that this is a big- ger question than success on his land. It is a question of doing whatever needs to be done to induce laborers to work the land and raise the necessary food.” This statement is based on the re- cent food administrations bulletins, which reveal the promise by us to send to our allies 409,320,000 bushels of wheat, rye, barley and corn for foodstuffs. Besides this promise, which America must keep, Dr. Haynes says: “We must also feed our own army, all our war workers at home, as well as our children and other non- producers.” Races Co-operating. The work of the state committees being carried forward under the direc- tor is surpassing all calculations of the Department of Labor and of Dr. Haynes himself. The ready response of sympathetic white friends in the South in becoming members of the Negro Workers’ Advisory committees in the various states is doing much to break down many of the difficulties. ‘The work of these committees is pro- ductive already of great practical good. For example, a local, branch of ‘the committee in Jacksonville, Fla, ‘has done such effective work that the business men of that city have em- ployed a local worker and opened a training center to instruct Colored women along lines of work which they can do to release men of mili- tary age. ‘The Florida state committee is pre- paring a program of activities for the co-operation of white employers and Negro workers in all parts of the state, to promote better understand- ing between them and to rempve the discontent of workers so that they will voluntarily give regular and en- thusiastic work for greater production of food and supplies needed to win ‘he war. Florida Organization. Recently W. 0, Armwood, a capable Negro of Tampa, was appointed su- perintendent of Negro economics in Florida, Under the United States em- ployment service and the supervision of the director of Negro economies he has been touring the state to enlis: the Negro ministers, lodge represen- tatives and other leaders in the move- ment. The State Council of National Defense and the Public Service Re- serve are co-operating heartily with the state committee. Dr. Haynes’ present itinerary takes him into Georgia, Florida, Louisiana. Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. Organization has already been effect- ed in eight states, and other states will soon be included as a result of conferences now being held. JEANES FUND HELPS MANY SOUTHERN SCHOOLS Charlotteville, Va. Oct. 31—In fourteen Southern states 209 county superintendents and Board of Educa- tions co-operated the past year with the Jeanes fund in improving rural schools. Supervising industrial teachers, paid partly by the counties, partly by the Jeanes fund, visited regularly in these connties 5,717 county schools, making in all 20,908 visite, and rais- ing from local people and their white friends $204,646 for school improve- ment, ‘The salaries of these teachers amounted to $65,182, of which the county school authorities paid $26,234 and the Jeanes fund $39,848. ‘These traveling teachers, under the direction of the county superintend- ents, introduced simple home indus- tries into the little country schools. They give lessons on sanitation, per- sonal cleanliness, ete., encourage the improvement of school honses and grounds and conduct gardening and verious other clubs for the hetterment of the schools, homes and neighbor- hoods.

"Welcome," he said; "welcome to Kienton and the Flowery kingdom. And what does the good stranger seek?" I bowed low. "Exalted one, I seek to know Sun Pa and his people. I, too, am of that race that dwelt in the wild lands of Africa." "I thought you were an American?" "I am, but my ancestors came from Africa." "Then we are brothers, though of distant countries. My grandfather was an exile from the Kingdom of Penin and the Upper Congo. He penetrated into China, engaged in merchandise for awhile and by some stroke of fortune became an attache of the court. He married a cousin of the reigning emperor and had children, one of them the mother of the Princess Tee Han. My father was the ruler of Kienton and naturally I succeeded him. Men call me the Black Mandarin on account of my grandfather." "Of course you took the mandarin's examination?" "Yes, and was graded perfect. I know all the law and the teachings of Confucius and the lore of our beloved China. I can write verse as ably as any in the kingdom and am skilled in the arts." "Do you ever think of your Negro blood?" "Do I ever think of it? Why should I? In this country we think of nothing but Confucius and the glory of our rulers." "You play quite a hand in politics, don't you?" "Not now. I did during the days of the empress dowager. I never had much sympathy with the republic, although I remained neutral during that struggle. Kienton, you must know, is very important in the affairs of our nation. It is a rich silk district and silk is a power in this part of the world. Besides, we have the chief temple of the Sacred Dragon, which exalts us with the priesthood." "They worship me. They think that there is no one like the Black Mandarin. I give them ample charity and rule them leniently, as leniently as you can rule common people. Each year I set free a prisoner and twice a year I distribute yen among the poor and pay for the household goods of those unable to purchase such necessities." I was ready to leave, but Sun Pa pressed me to stay. "Remember," he said, "we are brothers. The same blood that flows in your veins flows in mine. You are the first man of the African race that I ever met." So I accepted his invitation to partake of tea with him. I will never forget that evening with Sun Pa. The mandarin has a wonderful library, a cosmopolitan collection of books, parchments and papyri. I was astonished to learn that he could read every one. "That is no feat," he said. "A scholar knows every human tongue. Some day I hope to be able to speak your English, to get those vowels straight and those funny verbs. Because, you know, after the war I intend to visit England and America." "You'll get a rousing reception from all the races," I responded. "The white race will entertain you highly because you are a great man in your country; the Chinese because you are their exalted countryman, and my people because the ancient blood of the Negro race flows in your veins. It will be a glorious visit." Now a word concerning the wife of Sun Pa. She is a little lady of pure Mongolian aristocracy, and is slightly haughty, but very cordial with those she deems her husband's equal. She conversed with me in her native tongue and her husband translated it for me into his French. Sun Pa, Black Mandarin! Can America comprehend such a situation? A descendant of the jungle leader in the world's most ancient kingdom! China, despite her caste system, is a land of equality, the equality that can be achieved. HAMPTON INSTITUTE IN BIG LIBERTY LOAN PARADE Hampton, Va., Oct. 25.—The fourth Liberty loan campaign was launched at Hampton institute with a unique parade, which included two companies of the students' army training corps, five companies of Hampton institute cadets, most of whom are members of the S. A. T. C.; the Hampton girl students wearing paper hats with Liberty loan slogans; Hampton workers representing the Woman's Land Army of America, the American Red Cross and other war time activities; a series of floats showing how the nation can win the war by feeding the soldiers, and a long line of automobiles decorated with striking Liberty loan posters and the flags of the allied nations.

A "stand-by-the-job" record deserving of recognition has been made by Frank Harris, a Negro employed by the American Rolling Mill company, of Columbus, Ohio, who has worked every day this year except two days in January, one in February and one in June—a total of 239 days out of 243. He has been continuously employed by the company since October 1, 1904, and wears a ten-year-old service button. The four days he has taken off in 1918 have been more than made up by seven and one-fourth days of overtime work Albert Jones, another Negro, worked 141 consecutive days—seven days a week—without losing any time, from March 30 to August 19. He took five days off, beginning August 20 to go hunting, but is working every day now. These men work on the pig-casting machine and stuck to their jobs during the hottest weather. BIRTH OF A NEW POLITICAL ORGANIZATION Greater Omaha Republican League Wednesday evening, October 30, about 325 of Omaha's leading Colored citizens met in the offices of Dr. Craig Morris, 2407 Lake street, where they set up an organization for civic social and political purposes, to be known as the Greater Omaha Republican league. The preliminary plans of organization were well perfected, for in less than thirty minutes they had convened, come to order, selected a temporary chairman, went into permanent organization, elected Sergeant Isaac Bailey president, Amos P. Scruggs first vice president, Elder Scott second vice president, W. E. Allen secretary and Dr. P. W. Sawyer treasurer; appointed working committees and detailed duties, then adjourned. The Monitor wishes this new organization much success, hoping that out of this multiplicity of clubs the race will prosper.
