CHICAGO.—A race war, threatening for weeks, assumed sinister proportions on Chicago's South Side last night, when 200 extra police were rushed to the Washington park district. One Negro is dead; another was said to be dying last night. Both were victims of a small army of white men who early yesterday set out with the avowed intention of "cleaning out the blacks." Plan Night Battle. Information was generally distributed among both whites and Negroes that a big fight was to be waged sometime during the night in Washington park. Police of the South Park board, 200 strong were rushed to the park and kept an all night vigil. Several hundred reserves were ordered on duty at Englewood, Fiftieth street, New City and Stock Yards Stations. A special police guard was established at Kenny's undertaking establishment, 5438 S. Halstead street, where the body of the slain Negro was held. Negro Stabbed and Shot. The Negro killed was Robert Robinson, 514 W. 54th Place. Robinson was simply walking to his home. There had been no fight or disturbance. A gang of savage hoodlums attacked him. He had been shot several times, stabbed repeatedly in the back and beaten over the head with billiard cues. The murder occurred shortly after Saturday midnight at 55th street and Princeton avenue. Ollis Harris, 5647 Grove avenue, is the Negro said to be dying. He was shot through the stomach, stabbed and beaten at 57th street and Lafayette avenue. Both blacks were attacked by the same mob. Persons questioned by the police say: the whites numbered 150 men. Lieut. Fred Guerney of the stock yards station and a squad had arrested about two score suspects yesterady, but only eleven were being held last night. Lieut. Guerney refused to give the names of the men held, because, he explained, the Negroes might obtain vengeance by attacking the homes of those held. Won't Discriminate—Alcock "The situation is most serious," First Deputy of Police Alcock said last night. "We had better meet it now than later. I have instructed the precinct commanding officers to see that their men do their duty. There will be no discrimination." Battle Prearranged. Yesterday mornings excitement appeared to have been prearranged. At 12:30 a. m. the stock yards station received a telephone call that a white mob was "out to kill all the blacks." A small squad of police was rushed out, but failed to connect with the gangsters. Knives, razors, billiard cues, clubs and several revolvers were picked up along the trail taken by the whites. Yesterday's developments convinced police, city officials and others who have studied the racial problem that Chicago must deal with one of the THE MONITOR most difficult situations in its history. The actual conflicts between whites and Negroes come, it is pointed out, as to be expected climaxes to the series of bomb outrages perpetrated by South Side in the last few days. one of those who yesterday dished the matter believed any policy negro residence segregation would solution. is Rosenwald, who has given time and money toward the dept of the Negro people, said: "social problem in Chicago has been too long awaiting solution. The papers can perform a big service by bring the public to a realization of the seriousness of the problem. "I have no panacea. This question is to big to be solved with an off hand word. It is our duty to begin studying it at once, for situation is critical. "Of one thing I feel certain—any policy of segregation is out of the question." Our own leaders are inclined to blame the rough element among the recent immigrants from the south for the increasing evidences of friction as well as the tough whites who are encouraged by the sensational daily newspapers. Movements are on foot among the leading white and Colored organizations to get together in an effort to cope with the situation. "THE HUNS OF THE EAST HAVE COME" —Senator Phelan. Philosophy of Democrat Senator From California Has Slightly Familiar Sound—Counsels Cancellation of So-Called Gentlemen's Agreement With Japan. Washington, June 25.—"The Huns of the east have come. Already they have spread over California and are stripping the state of its Americanism. They have invaded South America, and have obtained a firm foothold in Mexico, where they are protected and are a part of the Carranza machine. Some day the Mexican and Japanese problem will come to smite us with united force." The Japanese are not to be compromised with. They must be eliminated entirely like a swarm of locusts, which they alone equal in economic destructiveness. Not a quarter of a per cent should be allowed to come. Legislation should be enacted to bar them entirely. This might hurt Japan's feelings, but America comes first. The sore spot of the world is in the Orient. It is the place which we must watch zealously and unceasingly." NEBRASKA NEGRO BAPTIST ASSOCIATION TO MEET AT BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH The second annual meeting of the Negro Baptist Association of Nebraska and auxiliaries was held at Bethel Baptist church, 29th and T streets. The meetings began on Monday, June 16 and closed on June 20. An unusually attractive program was rendered. The session was one of the best in the history of the state. Rev. W. F. Botts, B. S. T., moderator, Bethel Baptist church has earned a reputation for hospitality that is commensurate with the reputation for doing things quickly and well which it already holds.

Thompson, of Birmingham, Ala., Pays Wonderful Tribute to Most Democratic American President Since Lincoln—Immense Crowd Eagerly Listens to Eloquent Message. "I am very grateful to you here at Tuskegee for the opportunity of paying a slight tribute to the memory of one of the nation's greatest men, and one whom I had the honor to call friend over a period of eighteen years. I had two other invitation to speak today in Birmingham, but I felt if I were to speak at all on this memorial occasion I should speak in this presence, for it was another of the nation's greatest men and one whom I had the honor to call friend over a period of thirty years who favorably presented me to President Roosevelt in 1901. I held both Colonel Roosevelt and Dr. Washington in the same high esteem; they were men whose characters were so definitely fixed that their friends knew just what they would do as new situations arose. Their friends throughout the country had with them a spiritual understanding. Just such an understanding as the devout men and women of any congregation have with their pastor. "A gentleman asked me the other day how long Colonel Roosevelt lived. I replied, 'He died in the sixtieth year of his age, but when we consider his activities, as compared with the activities of other men, he must have lived six hundred years, so full was his life.' I thought of him at Harvard, and his activities there; I thought of him as a leader of his party in the New York legislature at twenty-two years of age, and his activities in that assembly; I thought of him as a ranchman in Dakota, and how readily those men of an entirely different type from the men among whom he was raised in the east, adapted themselves to him, and they somewhat rose to his ideals, and how he gave to the cattle business a new impetus, a business which has finally grown to be one of the great industries of the west. I thought of him as United States civil service commissioner, helping Uncle Sam to work out a merit system for his employees throughout the length and breadth of the land. I thought of him as police commissioners in the City of New York, giving to his municipality such reform as they are enjoying today, and beginning the first great movement against the grafter in office, and which movement has finally spread into every state in the union. "I thought of him as an assistant secretary of the navy, as giving the order which turned the guns of Dewey loose on the Spaniards at Manilla bay. And then hurrying to his chief, Mr. Long, tendering his resignation, and Mr. Long's protesting that his services were needed there, and his reply 'No, I am not willing to remain within the protection of these walls while other men fight the battles of my country.' I thought of him as boarding the fast train in New York for San Antonio, and how his coming through the south was heralded by the Associated Press, and how his patriotic zeal fired the hearts of the southern youth. I thought of him as the train paused at Charlotteville, Lynchburg, Danville, Charlotte, Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans and how the southern boys swung on his train and begged to become riders of the Rough Riders regiment. I thought of him in that memorable charge up San Juan hill, under the command of our own general, little Joe Wheeler. "I thought of him in his triumphal entry in New York as the hero of the Spanish-American war and the expression of appreciation of his services to his country by the people of the Empire state in making him their governor, and his many activities in that position. "I thought of him as vice president, and as president at forty-three years of age, and his thousands of activities as chief executive of the nation. I thought of him as sending for the mature and dependable senators to discuss with them the serious affairs of state, men like Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, Berry of Arkansas, Bacon and Clay of Georgia, Frye of Maine, and Lodge of Massachusetts, and the next day putting the machinery in order for the impeachment of other senators who had violated the laws they had helped to make. I thought of him cabling the Sultan of Morocco, 'I will give you twenty-four hours in which to produce Peri Carris alive, or Rosolleau dead, and in less than twenty-four hours Peri Carris was released and allowed to go upon duties as an American missionary, and that without the payment of a dollar's ransom. I thought of him as cabling the Russian government in the Russian-Japanese war, 'I will give you twenty-four hours in which to remove the contraband on cotton; you shall not deprive the southern farmer of the fruits of his labor at the moment he is seeking a market for his product, and in less than twenty-four hours the contraband was removed and cotton allowed to seek the markets of the world through its usual channels. Twenty-four hours was about the limit of time Theodore Roosevelt gave the individuals or a nation to get right. I thought of him as sending for the German ambassador and saying to him, 'However much I regret Venezuela forgetting the due date of her obligation to Berlin bankers, the Monroe doctrine still exists, and shall be maintained. I do not appreciate the menacing attitude of German war vessels in Venezuelan waters,' and as the German ambassador turned to leave without making satisfactory reply, President Roosevelt called to him and said, 'You will please cable the emperor, I will give him ten days in which to withdraw his men of war and you might add in this connection that Admiral Dewey is now cruising with his fleet in South American waters. In less than ten days they had fired up and steamed away. "I thought of him as turning things 'topsy-turvy' in this country, and arranging for the building of the Panama canal over night, while congress debated and how the press of the country, in scare headlines, called attention to the reckless daring of the young man in the White House; but as an earnest of the appreciation of the American people for the initiative and character of Theodore Roosevelt in building the Panama canal, there is a movement on foot to change the name of Panama to Roosevelt canal, and to erect a suitable monument to his memory somewhere in the zone, and in this connection, I hope at the same time there will be a suitable monument erected to the memory of our own senator, John T. Morgan, for it was he who kept up the agitation in the senate for thirty-odd years. "I thought of him in the panic of 1907. You will recall it was the panic resulting from too much, rather than too little business; industries were developing faster than capital could be found to finance them. The Tennessee company, one of the largest corporations of the country, was unable to go any further, and appeal was made by a committee of the best business men of America to President Roosevelt to allow the absorption of the Tennessee company by the United States Steel Corporation and after hearing their argument at great length, and giving due consideration to all of the angles in the case, he smiled and said, 'This is a complete reversion of my insistence for a strict enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law; but, however, that may be, I shall make this the exception that proves the rule, and as an earnest of the appreciation and character displayed by Roosevelt in saving this institution, which meant so much to the people of this state, I will be disappointed if there is not soon a movement on foot to erect somewhere in the Birmingham district, a fitting monument to his memory. "I thought of him leaving the White House sending for John Burroughs to discuss animals and birds and flowers and trees. I thought of him sending to South Hampton, England, for Sir Harry Johnson to discuss the characteristics of the big game in Africa. I thought of him in the jungles of Africa, killing big game for several months. I thought of him as emerging from the wilds of Africa and lecturing at the capitals of Europe to the Ph. D. 's,' 'L. L. D. 's' and statesmen, and how they marveled at his learning. I thought of him at Chicago, surrounded by 15,000 red-blooded Americans, literally destroying the (Continued on Page Eight.) HUMANITY AND CONSTITU TIONAL PROVISIONS CALL OUT FOR JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY Chicago, June 25.—A careful survey, covering the entire nation, has disclosed to the Associated Negro Press the fact that theer is a new awakening for justice in behalf of the people of our racial group. In speaking of this change of sentiment, the outrages of various sorts, are not overlooked. It is a fact, however, that theer has been more written and spoken in truth, in the last six months, relative to the injustices heaped upon us, than has ever before occurred since slavery was abolished. The expression quoted herewith, from the Pittsburg Chronicle is typical rather than exceptional, so far as the newspapers are concerned. For some reason, the editorial writers seem to have "struck their gait," on the subject of fair play, and are going at the hypocracies in a fashion that should bring good cheer to any people. Speaking with reference to the denial of rights, in the light of the conspicuous attitude of the peace conference, the Chronicle says: "These American citizens are not merely denied their political rights; they are denied that "protection of life without distinction based on race, color or previous condition" to which they are entitled by ordinary considerations of humanity, as well as by specific provision in the constitution of the United States. In effect they are calling attention to the humiliating facts that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution are virtually dead letters. They have heard that the proposed League of Nations is to insure justice to all the peoples of the earth, and they want their share. Our Negro citizens are not to be blamed for their appeal to what they suppose to be an all-powerful, super-natural organization. Other races are doing the same the thing with reference to their own particular problems and injustices. But how humiliating it must be to our delegates at Paris to hear a body of their fellow citizens appealing to the League of Nations for relief from cruelty and oppression. They can scarcely escape the conviction that reform, like charity, should begin at home and that a splendid start could be made by safeguarding the life and liberties of our host of Negro citizens of the southern states." Concerning this, A. D. Baker said: "That kind of sentiment cannot swing in the air very long without hitting something." "IRISH QUESTION LOADED WITH DYNAMITE; NEGRO QUESTION LOADED WITH TNT" New York, June 25.—The bringing of the "Irish Question" into the peace conference, has caused the American delegates no end of embarrassment, because that question has been regarded as strictly domestic. It has been argued by many different people that if the Irish be permitted to air their grievances before the conference, the Negroes of America have the same right, and many of the delegates from various nations have taken that stand. Concerning the logic of it, the New York Sun, daily, says: "Now if the Irish question is loaded with dynamite, the Negro question is loaded with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many persons do not question its legality, however much they object to it as a political fact. But inside the United States and outside of the United States everybody knows that the political condition imposed upon the Negro in the South is brutally, openly and completely illegal. That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, and this violation of the Constitution is tolerated with the full knowledge and consent of a large majority of the white population of this country, North and South. CITY TO CELEBRATE JULY FOURTH AT FONTENELLE PARK The city administration and many Omaha business men are lending their support to the annual Fourth of July celebration to be held at Fontenelle park July Fourth. The fireworks display will be on an elaborate scale. This celebration is open to all Omaha citizens with a special invitation to returned soldiers and sailors. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO!

WHO SHALL PAY FOR THE HOUSTON RIOT (By Associated Negro Press. (By Associated Negro Press. Chicago, June 25—Houston citizens who suffered personal and property losses during the mutiny of Negro soldiers on August 23, 1917, may be held for all damages suffered at that time if a bill that Senator Morris Sheppard has introduced into the senate is finally passed. The bill provides for the investigation by the court of claims of all complaints for damages made by Houston citizens as a result of the mutiny, according to advices received from Washington Wednesday night. The bill was introduced in the senate during the last session by Senator Sheppard, but no action was taken on it. Under the law these suits against the government cannot be instituted until congress authorizes the court of claims to proceed with the investigation. Major John H. Crooker, who was district attorney at the time of the riots and active in preparing claims for personal and property losses, said Wednesday night, there were about fifteen claimants. The amount asked for in reparation at first was more than $80,000. Major Crooker said, but this was cut down at Washington to about $35,000. KANSAS CITY GETS PAROLE OFFICER Kansas City, June 25.—Mrs. Sallie C. Rogers, who has been identified with the schools for a number of years, employed in several of the largest grade schools of the city, has discontinued her service in that capacity, and is now a member of the force of the Board of Public Welfare. She is eminently qualified for the work. The municipality is to be congratulated. Her work will be parole officer, with young girls her especial province. WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN CHURCH CIRCLES Richmond, Va., June 25.—Before leaving Richmond today Mary E. Taylor, of New York, Negro woman evangelist, announced that she would enter the race for bishop of the A. M. E. Zion church. (Special to The Monitor by Charles Stewart.) Baltimore, Mr., June 25.—The unknown has happened in Baltimore, when Bethel A. M. E. church in one rally placed on the table $30,018.50, this week and by June 29, an additional $3,000 will have been paid in, which will cancel the mortgage on the church and give to the people one more church of the race out of debt. This is perhaps the largest amount ever raised by one church at a single effort. To witness the drive there were present Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia; Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore; Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia; Mesdames Mary F. Handy, J. A. Johnson, B. Bertha Hurst, ministers from Pennsylvania, New York and New England. The drive was planned by the financial wonder of the race, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who has raised in three years over a hundred thousand dollars. The new site for Bethel was purchased at a cost of $90,000 and is one of the finest church edifices owned by the race. When he was appointed to the charge several years ago, Dr. Brooks declared that the church must soon be out of debt, and his mission was to pay it out, only asking the people to follow his lead. His first drive resulted in $15,000 being raised, and the one which is now closing will be over $33,000. At the meeting of the midwinter session of the Bishops' Council, next February, the church will be turned over to the connection free of debt and the mortgage will be burned. In return for the services rendered in May, 1920, the general conference will elevate Dr. W. Sampson Brooks to the episcopacy. Dr. Brooks was general chairman of the banking committee; Prof. Howard E. Young; secretary; John H. Murphy, treasurer. The whole Afro-American office force took part in the rally which lasted from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 6:30 the following morning, all of which time was used in counting and collecting money and hearing reports. NEW LODGE NAMED FOR FOUNDER OF TUSKEGEE (Special to The Monitor.) Detroit, Mich., June 21.—Booker T. Washington lodge No. 3, Benevolent Order of Peerless Knights, was instituted in this city Saturday night, June 14, by the Supreme Exalted Prelate W. H. King, of St. Louis, Mo. Sixty-seven men, many of whom are among Detroit's most prominent citizens, took the oath and obligation. MARTINSBURG, W. VA, PROTESTS DISCRIMINATION (By Associated Negro Press) Martinsburg, W. Va., June 25.—The racial and social equality problems as applied to Martinsburg conditions, was precipitated with a suddenness and a clearness that dazed the finance committee of the Soldiers Home coming celebration when a committee consisting of Revs. Read, Jackson and Johnson, made a statement. They told the committee that the Colored people could not give their moral support to the plans of the celebration unless full equality were accorded them in the event. If this were not granted, they said the Colored people could not be counted upon the contribute to the fund. Any distinction in the matter would mean that they would not back the plans, for, they let it be known, the Colored citizens of the community are as patriotic and upright as any others. CHICAGO BUSINESS LEAGUE ELECTS OFFICERS (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, June 25.—The Montgomery branch of the National Negro Business League re-organized in a very interesting and largely attended meeting Thursday night. The following officers were elected: President, Dr. W. F. Watkins, vice president, Lee Jordan, treasurer, Dr. R. T. Adair, Secretary, R. H. Harris, assistant secretary, R. W. Harris, chaplain, J. R. Fagin. A membership committee was appointed who will make a drive for new members. The Monitor's Phone Number Is Douglas 3224 Seeks the Co-operation of Whites in Development of Race. (Special to The Monitor.) New Orleans, June 25.—The Lincoln League of America, to embrace the Negro race in the United States, having as its direct object securing of the ballot to the Negro, and designed generally to further the advancement of the race, has been organized as the outgrowth of the national Negro conference held here Monday and Tuesday. A general convention of the league will be held in Chicago beginning September 16, 1919, at which time more definite plans of operation throughout the nation and particularly in the South will be worked out. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, chairman of the conference, was elected president of the league in its pre-convention form. The immediate efforts of the league will be directed toward the formation of subordinate state, parish or county organizations of the league. Subordinate organization may extend to include ward, township and community branches, it was said. Information on the purposes of the league and the objects sought to be obtained will be spread among the people, particularly, it was said, among white people of the South. Effort to acquaint white persons with the motives of the league will be made, delegates to the convention said, because it is to the white people of the South the appeal for different conditions for the Negro specially is addressed. A fund of $1437 was collected and subscribed to form the nucleus of a national campaign fund. Of this amount $737 was collected in cash. In a set of resolutions adopted, the convention set forth as vital to the future welfare of the nation as well as to the Negro race itself the need of greater co-operation between the two races. MISSOURI NEGRO MADE CLERK IN U. S. SENATE Senator Spencer a Friend to the Race. Washington, June 25.—Prof. J. Silas Harris, of Kansas City, Mo., president of the Negro National Educational Congress, was sworn in Tuesday morning as a clerk in the U. S. Senate. The appointment of Prof. Harris was due to the splendid efforts of Senator Selden Spencer of Missouri. Prof. Harris is one of the best known leaders of the race beyond all question its ablest politician. He is quiet and unassuming, yet the very incarnation of force and power. It has been the good fortune as well as the pleasure to have known Prof. Harris for many years, and we predict that his coming to the Nation's Capital will mark the beginning of a new political era for the Negroes of the United States. Senator Spencer has the thanks of thousands of Negroes for the appointment of Prof. Harris, and the time may not be far off when they will have an opportunity to prove the same. EUROPE'S SLAYER PLEADS GUILTY Sentenced by Judge Sanderson to From Ten to Fifteen Years. Boston, Mass., June 25.—Herbert Wright, trap drummer of the "Heil Fighters" band, who stabbed and fatally wounded Lieut. James Reese Europe on the night of May 11 at Mechanic hall, was sentenced by Judge Sanderson Tuesday morning to the state prison for not more than fifteen years nor less than ten years. When the case was called in Judge Sanderson's court Wright pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Two alienists appointed by District Attorney Pelletier to inquire into the sanity of Wright reported that while not insane he is of such a low type of mentality that there was a question as to his entire responsibility. Mr. Pelletier therefore accepted a plea of guilty. Counsel for the defense recently had two alienists examine Wright, and they pronounced him insane. For this reason the court was asked some days ago to appoint a commission to inquire further into the drummer's sanity. Quite a number of witnesses had been brought from New York, several of whom were formerly members of the old 15th. CAMPAIGN TO SAVE MORTGAGED CHURCH (By Associated Negro Press.) Elizabeth City, N. C., June 25. The Mt. Lebanon African Methodist Church is advertised to be sold for a mortgage indebtedness of $13,000, and the Colored people cannot pay the debt. A campaign is being waged here to save the church for them. It is a handsome building, well equipped, and furnishes a splendid auditorium. THE MONITOR Put Enemy to Flight. (Special to The Monitor). El Paso, Tex., June 25.—The 24th Infantry, Colored, together with cavalry and artillery, crossed into Mexico Sunday night and pursued the Villista band about 30 miles before being ordered back on American soil. The American soldiers clashed with Villa's men early Monday morning and no more than a score of the outlaws fell victims of shrapnel bullets. A battalion of the Twenty-fourth was the first to cross the border. They opened up with a terrific rifle fire on the trenches flanking the Juarez race track. They advanced in open order and succeeded in dislodging the Villa forces who held the strongest position. The Villistas were routed and driven into the hills. Two of the Colored soldiers were wounded. This is the second time that Colored soldiers have been sent into Mexico after Villa. The famous Tenth Cavalry, in 1916, made a record two hundred mile drive, to rescue a colony of Mormons, was trapped at Carrazaal and a general massacre followed. NOTED NEGRO SINGERS' HOLD SANG-FEST Philadelphia, Pa., June 25.—A notable demonstration of the ability of the Negro race in choral singing was offered at the Academy of Music by 400 Negro singers led by Carl R. Diton and Alfred F. Johnson, with W. Franklin Hoster at the piano. Compositions of S. Coleridge-Taylor, Harry T. Burleigh, R. Nathaniel Dett, and Frank Williams were sung, together with "spirituals" delivered with that enkindling and communicative fervor only attained by that race for whom such songs provide a natural and inevitable mode of expression. "I Want to be Ready," "My Lord's Done Just What He Said," "Little David, Play on Your Harp," "Shout All Over God's Heaven," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "My Soul is a Witness for My Lord" were sung with a large measure of the fine sincerity and spontaneity that mark the work of the Bach Choir at Bethlehem, whose performance that of these Colored singers immediately preceded. They sang as if the music lifted them above toil and travail to a dreaming vista of a promised land of opportunity sans prejudice and discrimination. The audience itself was an object-lesson in its orderly and appreciative demeanor. In two of the songs, "Steal Away to Jesus" and the final singing of "America," the audience heartily participated. PROF. J. W. DACUS GETS GOVERNMENT JOB Prof. J. W. Dacus, formerly of Burton, Ala., and a resident of our city for about 14 months, has been appointed railway postal clerk at terminal station Council Bluffs, Ia. Mr. Dacus took the examination last March and headed the list of 30. Speaking of his work, the professor said, "Out of 75 persons employed at the station, only two are members of the race, and the civil service is open to all." The professor taught school in the state of Alabama for ten years, is a member of Pilgrim Rest Baptist church, and is always interested in race affairs. NORTH CAROLINA ELECTS COLORED SUPERVISOR (By Associated Negro Press.) Raleigh, N. C., June 25.—The state board of education has elected A. T. Allen to succeed E. E. Sams as supervisor of Colored normal schools and secretary of the state board of examiners. Mr. Allen is a member of the state board of examiners. During April Nebraska nosed out all contestants in per capita sales, except the States of Ohio in the sale of War Savings Stamps.

Harrison The only race judge of a superior court in the country; member of the bar of the supreme court of the United States; national lecturer of the Race Congress; national speaker of the third Liberty Loan; ablest orator of the race on public platform. Calvary Baptist Church Omaha greatly mourns the loss of Augusta C. Parker, wife of the late Abram W. Parker, one of our oldest and most respected citizens. Mrs. Parker has been in poor health for a number of years, and about a year ago she totally lost her sight. She suffered a stroke of paralysis last Wednesday night and has been lingering between life and death ever since. Mrs. Parker was born in Charlestown, South Carolina, on February 23, 1858. She came to Omaha in 1877 and was married here. She was the mother of eight children, five of whom are living now. All are here now except Ray, who is with the A. E. F. in France. The hope of seeing him again, many think, is what prolonged her life. The funeral was held from the house on Wednesday by the Rev. T. A. Taggart. She was buried in the family lot in Forest Lawn cemetery by the side of her husband. Mrs. Parker's passing is bemoaned by her many friends and acquaintances. THE OLD REGIME DIES HARD (By Associated Negro Press.) St. Augustine, Fla., June 25.—The Colored people of Florida wish it generally known, according to a statement issued by a committee of citizens, that they are wide awake with reference to the "White Man's Republican Party," recently formed here by a group of "Lily Whites." This effort has been tried before, but it has never gotten very far, and it is our belief that the National Republican party is too deeply concerned in giving what others have promised, "equal and exact justice," to tolerate this sort of thing. SURVIVED BY GREAT- GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN Hampton, Va., June 25.—"Uncle" Jesse Hightower, an aged and respected Negro, died at the home of his grandson, Will Hightower, a tenant on the plantation of Charles H. Griffin. "Uncle" Jesse was 112 years old and was a familiar figure, peddling brushbrooms in the community. He was born in North Carolina, but spent most of his life in Upsin, Pike and Henry counties. He is the last surviving member of his family. Grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren survive him. FREIGHT HANDLERS ORGANIZE (By Associated Negro Press.)

OPEN EVENINGS 1839-47 N. 24th St. Phones—Webster 1607; Webster 4825 INTERSTATE ASSOCIATION OF NEGRO TRAINMEN Substantial Men of Oklahoma Incorporate Union for Protection of Colored Employees of the Nation's Railway Systems—Five Brotherhoods in Prospect. (Special to The Monitor.) Washington, D. C., June 26—"The Interstate Association of Negro Trainmen of America, looking to the perfecting of a union of all unorganized Colored employees of the railway lines of America, for their full protection in working conditions and wages, has been incorporated in the District of Columbia, following the completion of preliminary plans inaugurated about a year ago. Attorney E. T. Barbour, of El Reno, Okla., is named as general counsellor and organizer. Richard A. Buford, of Oklahoma City, Okla., is general secretary, under a bond of $5,000, with the United States Fidelity and Guarantee company. Both are substantial and reliable men of affairs of Oklahoma, and are vouched for by the strongest financial forces of that state. The objects of the Interstate Association of Negro Trainmen are: To maintain and insure standard working conditions and a uniform wage scale; to destroy caste and color prejudice that militate against justice as to these essentials; and to establish reciprocity between such other bodies of organized labor as shall be necessary for the promotion of the welfare of the Negro employees of the nation's railway lines. It has the exclusive right, under its terms of incorporation, to form a National Union of Negro railway employees, subordinate associations as auxiliaries to the parent stem. The association at this time has upwards of 2,000 members. The primary aim of the organizers is to place the association upon a firm, business basis, and its success in attracting to its ranks a group of our most intelligent, influential and public-spirited men is regarded as a tribute to its worth as a facor for racial uplift. NO SATURDAY HOLIDAY SAVES ALABAMA $26,000,000 IN 1918 (By Associated Negro Press.) Raleigh, N. C., June 25.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, is organizing the Race in the South into an association which pledges itself to work on Saturday afternoons as on other days. In 1918 the race in Alabama, it is alleged, made $26,000,000 as the result of their decision not to use Saturday afternoon as a holiday. Three hundred thousand men of the race are organized by pledge to work six full days through 1919. BIENNIAL SESSION OF ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF NEGRO LIFE AND HISTORY (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, June 25.—The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History convened in biennial session here June 17 and 18, at the Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. The reports for the year were heard, new officers elected, and plans for the coming year were formulated. The chief interest of the meeting, however, centered around the addresses on "The Negro in the World War," by Julius Rosenwald, George Foster Peabody, Emmet J. Scott, George E. Haynes, W. T. B. Williams, Ralph W, Tyler, James H. Dillard and Thomas J. Jones. Every phase of the war history which the Negro helped to make was treated. Returned soldiers were invited to take part in the discussions. The association worked out the plans by which it will collect data to write a "History of the Negro in the World War," just as soon as the treaty of peace is signed and documents now inaccessible because of the proximity to the conflict become available. In addition to publishing for four years the Journal of Negro History, a repository of truth now available in bound form, the association has brought out also "Slavery in Kentucky," an interesting portraiture of the institution in that state; "The Royal Adventurers Trading Into Africa," a study of the early slave trade, and a "Century of Negro Migration." The officers of the association are R. E. Park, president; J. E. Moorland, secretary-treasurer; and C. G. Woodson, director of research and editor; who, with Julius Rosenwald, George Foster Peabody, James H. Dillard, John R. Hawkins, R. E. Jones, A. L. Jackson, Thomas Jesse Jones, Sir Edmund Walker, Irving Metcalf, L. Hollingsworth Wood, Moorfield Storey and J. G. Phelps Stokes, constitute the executive council. $50,000 LEFT ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL Lawrenceville, Va., June 25.—Intelligence has just reached the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, an institution of the Episcopal church for the training of Colored youth, Lawrenceville, Va., founded by Archdeacon James S. Russell, 31 years ago, of the bequest of $50,000 left to the school in the will of the late Miss Harriet Blanchard, of 1511 Walnut street, Philadelphia, who died on June 2. For many years Miss Blanchard was one of the school's most interested and liberal contributors. THE MONITOR RACE PAPERS REFUSE TO RETRACT STATEMENT ABOUT WHITE COLONEL (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, June 25.—Neither the Union Reformer nor the Raleigh Independent, two race papers published here, will retract statements published May 24, in regard to Col. James E. Young, (white), which the latter alleges are false and defamatory. Yesterday, each paper carried copious references to the issues involved, together with announcements of determination not to accede to the demand of Col. Young for a retraction and apology served on them last week by Col. Young through his attorneys. With the refusal of the papers to retract, Col. Young will proceed with his action for damages on account alleged libel in the editorial references to him. The Union Reformer, which alleged that Colonel Young is crazy, in its editorial yesterday explained that it did not mean Colonel Young is "non compos mentis," and expressed its confidence that Colonel Young is very sane, and for that reason expects to hold him responsible for utterances it has quoted him as making. On the other hand, The Raleigh Independent heads its editorial column with a large blank space, two columns wide. At the top are the words: "The Colonel Demands an Apology," and at the bottom the information: "We Have None to Make." KICK-EACK THREATENED IN MISSISSIPPI (By Associated Negro Press.) Vicksburg, Miss, June 25.—Officials here have received many threats that the Negroes of this section intended to start riots here to kill white people in retaliation for the lynching and burning of a Negro here recently. Much uneasiness has been caused, though officials apprehend no trouble. No chances have been taken.

HIS HONOR, "JIM CROW" (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, June 25.—Congressman Martin Madden, of this city, sent to Congress on the votes of Colored citizens, has introduced his annual "jim crow" opposition bill, and it has created the same little riffle that it usually does. Congressman Madden has the happy faculty of introducing these bills and sending copies of same to his "worthy constituents," but the bills never get beyond committee. There are a great many people who have become doubtful of the congressman's sincerity of purpose, and look dubiously on the outcome of this new bill, which is all right if it passes. The Reidsville (N. C.) Review, white, states: "No doubt there is a good bit of politics in his proposition, but it serves to disturb the good feeling between the races." It is very natural nevertheless, that there should not be much good feeling between the races on account of "jim crow" cars in the South. "HUMAN INTEREST" AGENCY TO POPULARIZE CENTENARY (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, June 25.—Dr. Edward L. Gillam, director of the Negro activities of the centenary celebration, is employing a "human interest" agency as a medium of arousing the Methodists of his own race to support the celebration by attending it. To popularize the centenary idea and to advertise the celebration, Dr. Gillam has sent Dr. David D. Turpeau, Washington, the Rev. I. G. Penn, Jr., Maysville, Ky., and the Rev. J. S.

VOTERS SECURE COLORED POLICEMEN IN WATERBERRY (By Associated Negro Press.) Waterberry, Conn., June 25.—This famous old town is all agog over the prospects of having a Colored policeman, a kind of a bi-product of the war. The demand of the voters for such recognition is to be recognized. WISCONSIN PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION HOLDS FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION (By Associated Negro Press.) Madison, Wis., June 25.—The fourth annual convention of the Wisconsin Progressive Association took place in the Grand Army rooms of the capitol, June 17, 18 and 19. Speakers and singers appeared daily. Thursday night the annual banquet and promenade took place at Kehl's hall. Entertainment and outings featured the gathering. Representatives from clubs all over the state were present. The address of welcome June 17, was given by Mayor George C. Sayle. BOMB THROWERS AT WORK AGAIN Chicago, June 25.—A bomb was exploded in the exclusive residence district of the North Side, known as the "Gold Coast," breaking windows for blocks around and doing minor damages to property. The bomb was exploded near the residence of William D. Austin, broker, and is believed to be the sequel to a telephone warning to Mr. Austin to get rid of Negro tenants in property he owns on the South Side. In that section repeated bomb explosions have occurred in buildings occupied by Negroes. 3 BLACK TERN (Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis) Length, ten inches. In autumn occurs as a migrant on the east coast of the United States, and then is in white and gray plumage. During the breeding season it is confined to the interior, is chiefly black, and is the only dark tern occurring inland. Range: Breeds from California, Colorado, Missouri, and Ohio, north to central Canada; winters from Mexico to South America; migrant in the eastern United States. Habits and economic status: This tern, unlike most of its relatives, passes much of its life on fresh-water lakes and marshes of the interior. Its nests are placed among the tules and weeds, on floating vegetation, or on muskrat houses. It lays from two to four eggs. Its food is more varied than that of any other tern. So far as known it preys upon no food fishes, but feeds extensively upon such enemies of fish as dragonfly nymphs, fish-eating beetles, and crawfishs. Unlike most of its family, it devours a great variety of insects, many of which it catches as it flies. Dragonflies, May flies, grasshoppers, predacious diving beetles, scarabaeid beetles, leaf beetles, gnats, and other files are the principal kinds preyed upon. Fishes of little economic value, chiefly minnows and mummichogs, were found to compose only a little more than 19 per cent of the contents of 145 stomachs. The great consumption of insects by the black tern places it among the beneficial species worthy of protection. ```markdown ``` THE MONITOR A National Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of Colored Americans.

Thompson to Theodore Roosevelt is such a wonderful piece of eloquence that we have reproduced it in full for the enjoyment of all our readers. This red-blooded American all love and honor and revere. Theodore Roosevelt could always be found "on the side of the angels." And this is is that places him among the few immortals. WATCH DOG OF THE SENATE THIS for years has been the title conferred upon one who gave every bit of himself to the service of his race—Archibald H. Grimke, to whom has been awarded the fifth Spingarn medal. Never did an adverse piece of legislation appear in congress but what this man knew of it and organized the fight against it. He watched always to see that no law aimed to abridge the rights and privileges of Colored Americans should pass, unless it passed after every force had been brought to bear to crush it. That the District of Columbia does not have "jim crow" car laws is due in a large measure to the unceasing efforts of this man. In honoring him we honor ourselves. The committee does well when it rewards seventy years of service to his race and his country by conferring upon Archibald H. Grimke, author, scholar and worker the Spingarm medal and all the honor that goes with it. WHO SHALL PAY FOR THE HOUSTON RIOT THE question has arisen as to who shall pay the financial cost of the Houston riot. Shall the $80,000 property loss be congress' or the individuals. Our minds go back, but it is not of dollars we are thinking. We are thinking of those thirteen Negroes who paid the price, and as we think we tell ourselves that the ultimate goal of the universe is the kingdom of God which means a better social order than now, a time when the life and practices of men shall be based upon the laws of God. Nothing worth while comes in this world unless some one pays the price. We bow the head, O God, we bow the head. Tear-dimmed with grief and pain and sort distress While in our ears rings out the hymn of those thirteen Who paid the price! Their mutiny was the rash act of those Whose red-blood cried out against oppression. East St. Louis and her horrors filled their souls with dread And made impossible calm deliberation; They paid the price! We raise our heads again, O Lord, again Above thy throne, undimmed, the morning star doth rise, Heralding from out the gloomy travail of the night a rosy dawn. Faith sends our grieving souls this consolation: Through all the ages past, in thy economy O God of love— A SCIENTIFIC VOLUME WE welcome to our desk a volume on Negro Migration in 1916-17. This book is gotten out by the U. S. department of labor—division of Negro economics, George E. Haynes, Ph. D., director. This book is an invaluable contribution to the subject of Negro migration which is at present such a mighty factor in war readjustments. Villa and Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm certainly have managed to keep monotony away from the world during these latter years. Some say that re-incarnation is a reality and Beelzebub has come back as twins. Flashings of Most Anything If the twin gods of COLOR and COIN are dethroned REAL DEMOCRACY in America might get a look in. Here's a jaw-breaker for you:— Isadore Valentineswearskinsky—that is the name he gave to the Chicago United States employment service bureau. Omaha has twenty-one parks, covering approximately 1,000 acres. The city has done its best to give us cool places these hot days, and now, if we can negotiate with the mosquitoes so that they will stay away, maybe we'll find some comfort also. Congress by a vote of 233 to 122 agrees to let us tell time by the sun again. So, you folk who think that extra morning hour sleep the sweetest, can have the same after the last Sunday in October. The hens in Naples, Italy, are all puffed up: eggs selling at $3.00 a pair, a pair. Say, Senator Phelan, that elimination business of yours strikes us as being a discordant note in the harmony of this League of Nation song they are singing around here. Looks like Mississippi may learn what a boomerang is. Bolsheviki seems a pretty good name to call all foreign cussedness. We will give a prize to the fellow who will help us name these pesky "Lily Whites" who keep on trying to pilot the ship of state against the current. Folks are beginning to awake to the fact that 138,000,000 Africans might get tired pretty soon of having the other fellow do all their thinking for them. With England as the determined champion of self rule for the wandering tribes of scattered Arabs we are not surprised that India and Egypt are asking a few pertinent questions. If "Mike" can get into the Peace Conference and carry his troubles in old Ireland with him, "Sam" may take the stopper out of that U. S. cologne, and Paris may get a whiff of burning flesh. PRESS GLEANINGS We must never forget that the wild, brittish frenzy that causes a white mob to take the life of a Negro accused of crime is in the end a greater injury to the white people than to the black. For so long as a white man's government doesn't protect the life of prisoners within its custody, the white man's civilization is not a civilization invested with many elements of perpetuity. And the white man's government will be far from a kind of government that the world will respect—Houston (Tex.) Post. The first thing is to give the Negro justice in our courts of justice. Let his punishment be meted on the same measure as that given the white man. As we have remarked in the past, the white man, with his opportunities really deserves the greater degree of punishment. Yet he often escapes on account of nothing but the color of his skin. The day has come when the south must see that the Negro is treated in court as a being deserving consideration.—Columbia (S. C.) Record. What the Negro wants in this country is what Ireland in a larger sense wants of England. Ireland wants to be free to live as she pleases. The Negro wants the opportunity to live as other Americans live under the laws of the land for which the Negro labored and died. The Irish want a chance to live and develop; the Negro THE MONITOR is asking for the same thing in the last analysis.—Pittsburg Courier. Health of Colored Troops The Negro is constitutionally a better physiological machine than the white man. This is the conclusion drawn by experts from the military examination and experiences of the past few years as reported by the editor of "Current Comment," page in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Chicago, May 17). Students of eugenics, he says, point out that certain races have unconsciously varied in their choices of partners in such a way as to bring about differing conditions, with respect to resistance to disease, to mental capacity, and to moral quality. Of these, the resistance to disease is susceptible of more accurate estimation because it can be considered on the basis of statistical information. He goes on: "A peculiarly valuable instance is afforded by the comparison of white men and Negroes of the United States army. The numbers are sufficiently large to give some semblance of validity to the deductions which they permit. The white and Colored troops live under equally good sanitary conditions and are examined with equal diagonistic skill. A study of the sort indicated has recently been reported by Lieut. Col. Love and Maj. Davenport, who have undertaken an analysis of more than half a million admissions to sick report of our army, including more than 15,000 of the Colored troops. For many maladies the morbidity rate is the same in the two races. The army officers have, however, ascertained from the statistics that the Colored troops are relatively less resistant to diseases of the lungs and pleura as well as to certain general diseases, like tuberculosis and smallpox; they are also much more frequently infected with venereal diseases and suffer widespread complications from these diseases. Love and Davenport point out, on the other hand, that in general the skin not only on the surface of the body, but also that which is infolded to form the lining of the mouth and nasopharknx, is much more resistant to microorganisms in Negroes than in white men. The skin seems to be relatively a degenerate skin in this respect. Furthermore, the nervous system of the uninfected Negroes show fewer cases of 'instability' than those of white men. Thus there is far less neurasthenia, there are fewer instances of psychopathic states, and there is only half as much alchismism in Colored as in white troops. Nutritional disorders are also less common among the Negroes. As Love and Davenport describe the uninfected Negro, he seems to have more stable nerves, has better eyes and metabolizes better. Thus, in many respects, the uninfected Colored troops show themselves to be constitutionally better physiological machines than the white men."—Literary Digest. Africa, "the land of darkness," is slowly, but surely, becoming the continent of light. Africa, endowed by nature with richer gifts than any other continent of the world, is swaying the politics of the nations of earth, for one reason and another. Civilization has reached its highest pinacle in Africa, and in some sections of it, one may be lead to believe that civilization has reached its lowest ebb. Nevertheless, Africa is grand and glorious in promise, and no less a person than Dr. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has recently said so publicly. There are a great many people of our group who sneer at the thought that their forebears came from the continent of Africa. Others inquire: "What have I to do with Africa? I live in America." There should be a cessation of that kind of talk about the African continent. That kind of talk is a true sign of ignorance-ignorance of history, conditions and human duty. Africa is worthy of our respect, honor and pride. Africa may yet rise up in its might and redeem us from whatever oppressions now suffered by this American group. Keen to observe the "handwriting on the wall," the American Federation of Labor has turned a sommersault of attitude on the race conditions of America that may be regarded as one of the most significant exhibitions witnessed in many years. Labor has voted practically unanimously, to admit Colored laborers on "terms of equality." Labor has seen that the Colored people of the country are fast falling into economic power, and without support from this side much progress will be lacking. Of course it will remain for the individual organization "back home" to put the decree of the convention into effect. Scores and scores of delegates publicly told of their locals already admitting members of the race. There is a growing sentiment in favor of giving fair play to the Colored man, as little as it may THE PERISCOPE Africa Labor seem at times, and the move by labor will have unquestioned effect on many other avenues of progress. By Eva Alberta Jessie DAINTY bud, I hold thee in my hand, A castaway, a dead and lifeless thing; A few days since I saw thee wet with dew, A bud of promise to thy parent cling. Now thou art dead, but lovely as before— The adverse winds but waft thy fragrange more. How frail art thou! I tramp thee underfoot And leave thee helpless on the reeking ground; Perchance some one, in pity for thy state, Doth pick thee up in reverence profound, Lo! thou are pure with sweetness more intense, Thy perfume grows from earthly detriments. Why do we grieve? Let each affliction bare A greater purpose neath the surface sod. And hope arise as incense from the urn, And mounting up, enshroud the throne of God. Envoy of faith, this lesson I disclose— “Be ever sweet,” thou humble, fragrant rose! O TELL me where the flowers hide when the wintry breezes blow, O tell me where the stars abide when noontide sun doth glow, O tell me little bird what message have you heard of sweetest melody? O tell me streamlet gay, what guides you on your way, On your journey, your journey to the sea? O can it be the little stream is guided by God's hand. By us unseen, the bright stars gleam to light up heaven's land? The birdling brings his song, sent by the angel throng, To tell his Master's love. The little summer flower has lived its little hour. Now finds its wav, its wav above. "AFRICA MAY COST WHAT IS LEFT OF EUROPE" Self-Determination Only Solution—Liberia Greatest Marvel of the 19th Century. (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, June 25.—"Africa and Africa only, will be important in the world's politics for the next ten years," says Dr. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago, anthropologist, traveler and lecturer. "Africa may cost what is left of Europe, for Europe has neither the men nor the money to maintain dominion over Africa. "Africa has 138,000,000 discontented people. "Europe is sending back to Africa tens of thousands of black men who have been trained to face white men under arms. These black men, who have been denied arms in the past, can manufacture their own weapons in the future. "Liberia is the only hope of Africa. Liberia may save the world from chaos. It is the greatest marvel of the nineteenth century, and I mean to make my exhibit of Liberia and Congo Free State so vivid and so real that it will impress these facts on all who come to the Methodist centenary celebration in Columbus, June 20 to July 13. Dr. Starr has postponed what will be his ninth trip to Japan in order to be present and supervise the display of his curios at the centenary celebration. "Liberia," says Dr. Starr, represents the largest thing the black man has ever accomplished. It is at present represented before the peace commission of Europe, with plans that territory unjustly taken from it by France and England may be restored. "Liberia represents the only expression of self-government in Africa and I am not speaking as a radical when I say that this is the only hope of the continent. "Egypt is in a foment. Morocco is held by force of arms. That which was German Africa will not be content under mandatory of any other nation. Leading French and English military and civil authorities have often said, by word and in writing, that with any considerable evidence of disorder their African possessions cannot be held by the number of men and the amount of money they can afford to spend on them."

THE MONITOR DISTINGUISHED OUT-OF-TOWN VISITORS AT THE MONITOR OFFICE THIS WEEK ness rela Picture C Fred D. McCracken Fred D. McCracken, field agent of the home registration bureau of U. S. department of labor, under direct supervision of Dr. George E. Haynes, dropped into Omaha and incidentally The Monitor office. When asked why he came here, he said, came in search of a situation—racial, of course—and find you have none. The conditions here, except your housing, are all that could be expected. You have a strike here in which your people are playing only a small part. Many changes in the history of the communities, states and countries have been wrought over night, such happened when over 2,000,000 souls rose up as by one impulse down in old Dixieland and decided to move to the north side of the Mason and Dixon line. In the congested industrial districts of the north and east that migration has developed a problem, the housing condition being one. It is a well known fact that the contented workman must live in a comfortable home to properly rear his family, the immediate environments must be pleasant and uplifting. Seventy-five per cent of the evils our people are heir to can be traced to the unsanitary ill situated homes. Mr. Haynes has done wonderful work and is still doing much to alleviate these conditions in many of the large congested industrial centers. The northwest must be congratulated for the manner in which the old residents have met and accepted into their communities, church, fraternity, social circle, thereby adjusting at the outset a condition that has proven profitable to both." Mr. McCracken spent several days in Omaha investigating everything in the province of his work, and making The Monitor office his headquarters. He left Sunday for Chicago, Cleveland and other points east. Judge R. D. Evans The Monitor office was treated to a pleasant surprise by a visitor whom we immediately recognized as a son of the sunny southland by the leisurely manner in which he strode into our office, and when he spoke in his simple southern manner in answer to our most pleasant "good morning," it was the usual laconic, "howdy." We recognized our old friend Judge R. D. Evans of Waco, Tex., who in traveling west on business dropped off in Omaha to visit us and get further acquainted. As he leisurely took his seat and patiently awaited the putting away of business he hummed a bar from that once popular song, "Gee Ain't It Great to Meet a Friend From Your Old Home Town," and the echo in my soul said, "It she is." The judge, a graduate of Howard university of law class of 1912, is a prominent figure in his home state, being the attorney for the K. of P. and Courts of Calanthia. He enjoys a lucrative practice in McClellahan county, which has a population of 32,000 of his race. The folks down there say that the judge is a most persuasive man, that is they have said so since the trial of young Editor Smith some two years ago, who unfortunately transgressed the law as well as the dignity of the "white folks" in the vicinity when he to their distaste too graphically described the burning of one of his race. The judge who defended Smith in a most eloquent but simple plea on the basis of truth changed the sentiment and the cry from the howl of the mob, "Convict him or we will lynch him," to an "Oh, well, give him a chance." Those who keep up with the press dispatches will remember that in last February he again took up the cudgles in behalf of his people by succeeding in injoining that most unfair and dominant political machine, "the white man's or democratic party," and after a short yet sensational legal battle was rewarded by Judge Clark and endowed with a decision making the injunction permanent and today for the first time in twenty years the men and women of our race enjoy the right of the ballot in the state of Texas. It was a real pleasure to us to introduce him to all of our leading business and professional men and he leaves us with pleasant memories of this great growing city of Omaha. He is a Monitor enthusiast and says the food for the mind distributed in the form of constructive editorials is always eagerly awaited for by the hungry intelligent of the southland. Prominent Press Correspondent Visits City. Sgt. Major Harrison M. Gillian, 350th machine gun batallion, en route from Camp Grant, Ill., to his home in Dennison, Tex., was a welcome visitor at The Monitor office this week Sgt. Gillian was formerly second vice president of the National Negro Press association, and at present is general manager of the Standard Life Insurance company's Texas agency, as well as president of the Chisolm News association. Sgt. Gillian was the guest of Geo P. Johnson, being in the city on busi- ness relative to the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., Inc. Mr. William Haynes returned to Omaha Saturday. Mr. Haynes, whose marriage was recently celebrated in Philadelphia, returns to his duties here. Mrs. J. W. Anderson, 1516 North 24th street.; Mrs. O. Banks, 1709 North 26th street, and Mrs. Anna McCowan left last Tuesday for a ten days' trip to Atchison, Kas., St. Joe and Kansas City, Mo. MRS. RUTH WALLACE EN- TERTAINS 1919 GRADUATES A very delightful party was given on last Saturday night by Mrs. Ruth Wallace of 2004 North 28th street, for the two 1919 graduates of the Omaha Central High school, the Misses Ozelia Dunning and Pearl Ray. In the receiving line with the hostess and the graduates were Mrs. Frances Peoples, the guardian of the Camp Fire irls, and Mrs. Mary Harold, the president of the Phi Delta sorority. After every one had met the graduates a short talk was given by Miss Madre Penn in which she welcomed, congratulated and encouraged the graduates. The grand march was led by Mrs. Wallace and little Miss Sylvia Adams. The rest of the evening was spent in music and dancing. Mrs. Wallace, who is a very gracious hostess, was assisted by the Camp Fire Girls and the Phi Delta sorority. Mrs. Ailey Lewis and Mrs. E. R. West were at the punch bowl. Nearly a hundred guests were present and all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. It was without doubt one of the prettiest parties of the season. Sunday the National Association held a very interesting meeting at St. John's A. M. E. church. Reports of the chairman of the grievance committee followed; an animated discussion ensued. During the absence of the president and secretary at the Cleveland convention Vice President Lawyer Scruggs and Miss Myrtle Hayden served.

Besides, I have work to do." Black thy face—rough thy head, Soiled thy garb of faded red, Looks like mother you have none— Poor little boy, where has she gone In the street the live-long day, I have watched you run and play, None to call you, none to care, Wash thy face, or comb thy hair, All untamed, unmannered, wild, You I pity, little child! "What is your work?" "My work is to catch flies. I get little ones, very often, that harm plants, and sometimes I've been known to get a great big one. "I don't get as many as I want, but I do my best. And that's all any flower can do." Yet, who knows? Some power may Take a hold of you some day, Whisper something in thine ear, That will rouse thy soul to hear; Fix a vision for thine eyes, Choose a pathway for thy feet, That will lead to some high seat, Where upon Achievement's slope, You'll shine a star. Oh, yes, there's hope! "Well, I admire you," said the mignonette, "and sometimes I get annoyed with myself. I believe I'm a little envious of you, for you are the useful catchfly, while I am nothing but the sweet mignonette." -Roscoe C. Jamison. DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER sweet mignonette." Both Were Picked by a Little Girl. "It's fine to be sweet, too," said the catch-fly. "Just make up your mind you're glad you're yourself, and after a time you'll find you're very, very thankful you're not any other flower or creature, with all its troubles." "I'll remember," said the mignonette. And just at that moment both tiers were picked by a little girl with yellow curls, who said that she loved the dear catch-fly and mignonette flowers. CATCH-FLY TALKS. "You're such a sticky flower," said the mignonette one bright morning. "That is so," agreed the catchfly. 17 EARNED LOVE OF ALL HER "BOYS" "You don't seem to object," said the mignonette, in a very surprised flower tone of voice. "I don't object," answered the catch-fly. "I don't object in the least." Mother Bickerdyke Real Angel of Mercy to the Wounded Soldiers of the Armies of Both the North and South. "But maybe you are just trying to make the best of your lot in life. It's a very wise thing to do, and I admire you for it, but at the same time I can't qulte see why you don't W OULD you like to hear more about Mother Bickerdyke now that you know she was little, odd and foul-minded. It Was Much Loved in the Garden. the Civil war? "That homely figure clad in calico, wrapped in a shawl, and surmounted with a Shaker bonnet," was beloved by the whole Union army. The soldiers saluted Mother Bickerdyke as she passed by, and she was especially honored and respected by General Sherman, who, in return, was her ideal of all that a man and soldier should be. Here are some stories told by those who knew her: object to being so very sticky." Now the mignonette flower was very pretty. It was of a mixture of green and brown, and it was so very fragrant and old-fashioned that it was much loved in the garden. But the catch-fly was also very pretty. Some of its relations were pink and some lavender. This one was a very pretty shade of purple. It was quite, quite sticky, and so were all the catch-fly cousins, for as you may have been able to guess, it was a flower which caught flies. At Chattanooga Mother Bickerdykh had a field hospital where, over huge log fires in the open air, with the help of convalescent soldiers, she made great kettles of soup, tea, coffee and gruel, and cooked beef and mutton, and baked bread. Often the flying sparks set her dress afire, and the soldiers who were helping her would run "to put her out," as she laughingly expressed it. "The boys were all the time putting me out," she said, "and a dozen of 'em were grabbing me whenever I was cooking by the log fires, for the fire would snap and my clothes would catch." Now, it happened that Mother Bickerdykh, clad in spark-burnt garments—all that she had—visited Chicago to procure supplies for her "boys." The ladies of the sanitary commission, seeing the condition that she was in, presented her with a box of clothes for her own use. But they did not know Mother Bickerdykh! Did she keep those clothes, when her "boys" were starving? That was why it was sticky, for flies like sticky things—that is, until they are caught—and flies should be caught because they are not healthy. It's never right to torture flies, but still we mustn't make favorites of them, for they carry a great deal of sickness around with them. "I am not trying to make the best of my lot in life," said the catch-fly. "And what is more. I haven't a lot. I am in a flower bed. So far as I can see, you haven't a lot either, Miss Mignonette." "I meant that you were satisfied with your conditions, and by conditions I meant your name, your home, your stickiness. I presume you are satisfied, aren't you?" "Of course," said the catch-fly. "Why shouldn't I be?" "Well," said the mignonette, "I can't imagine everyone caring to be sticky. It's not usually what people or flowers or creatures want to be." No! As soon as she reached the South she traded those good garments for eggs, milk, honey, fruit and butter. But not quite all the garments, for among them were two night-dresses, very elegant, and embroidered and belacled and befrilled. These she kept for herself, as they had been sent to her by friends. But as she was returning with her load of good things to eat, she came to a shanty in which were two soldiers just released from a hospital. Their wounds were open and undressed. They were starving, weak, and completely discouraged, and their shirts were dirty and ragged. Mother Bickerdyke immediately washed their wounds and. "Then I'm not usual," said the catch-fly. "And for that I am very thankful." "Ah, but aren't you sometimes, once in a while perhaps, very sad to think that you are always, always sticky?" "I am not," said the catch-fly. "Don't you feel badly, now and again," continued the mignonette, "that even when you are given a beautiful bath from the watering-pot or the hose or the rain that you still remain sticky?" "It doesn't bother me in the least." "But mothers are always calling to their children and telling them they must wash their sticky hands. It's not supposed to be nice to be sticky." A CAFE "My dear Mignonette," said the catch-fly, "you really are getting yourself quite excited over nothing at all. In the first place, I am supposed to be sticky. I like drinks of water, too, just as all flowers do. But I don't expect to be made less sticky by water as the hands of children will be made when washed. Over Huge Log Fires in the Open Air, With the Aid of Convalescent Soldiers She Made Great Kettles of Soup. "It is always well to be what one is supposed to be. What if I pretended I didn't care to be known as the catch-fly, and wanted folks to think I was a mignonette, they'd soon find out when they touched me what I was, for tearing off the hems of those precious nightgowns, dressed and bandaged the wounds. But the men's shirts were too torn and full of vermin to put on again "Here, boys," she said, "put on the upper parts of these nightgowns. They're just the thing! My sakes! but this is lucky!" The boys, naturally, protested loudly against having to meet their northern friends in ruffles and lace, but Mother Bickerdyke would not listen to them. As they were weak from sickness and hunger they had to surrender, and were soon meekly arrayed in embroidered lawn, above which their unshaven faces grinned sheepishly. But on reaching the North they refused to part with the nightdresses. And in a few years since one of the garments matched with Mother Bickerdyke's home was kept by a Wisconsin family as a war souvenir. They may have it still. General Grant was another of Mother Bickerdyke's ideal soldiers. She would never listen to a word in his disfavor, and the general liked well her bluff honesty and her fearless devotion to the wounded soldiers. Mother Bickerdyke at one time had charge of a hospital boat that conveyed the wounded from the battle of Donelson to the hospital. When the surgeons brought the wounded on board they found comfortable beds ready, and tea, coffee, soup, gruel, and other foods waiting in great quantities, and Mother Bickerdyke, strong and sympathetic, ready to help in every emergency. "I never saw anybody like her," said a surgeon who was with her on that boat. "There was really nothing for us surgeons to do but dress wounds and administer medicines. She drew out clean shirts or drawers from some corner whenever they were needed. Nourishment was ready for every man as soon as he was brought on board. Every one was sponged from blood and frozen mire of the battlefield, as far as his condition allowed. * * * Incessant cries of 'Mother! Mother! Mother!' rang through the boat. * * * And to every man she turned with a heavenly tenderness, as if he were indeed her son. She moved about with a decisive air, and gave directions in such decided, clarion tones as to insure prompt obedience. * * * To every surgeon who was superior she held herself subordinate, and was as good at obeying as at command." But it was not only to her "boys in blue" that Mother Bickerdyce gave her tenderest care. Whenever a wounded "boy in gray" was picked up on the battlefield and brought into her hospital, she looked after him and comforted him as though he, too, were her own son. And today veterans of both North and South who remember her faithful, loving service honor the name of "the soldiers' friend." There are 10,500,000 in this country who are not citizens, besides all those who never should have been accepted. THE KITCHEN CABINET It takes more than one fall to keep a determined man down; to have failed once does not make one a failure; to be defeated once cannot make one a lost soul. The busy housewife with but one pair of hands at her command must do away with frills in cookery, no matter how much she may enjoy them. A few minutes spent in arranging and garnishing a dish, however, is never wasted effort. Carrot Pudding.—Take one cupful of grated carrot, one cupful of grated potato, one egg, one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of shortening, one-half cupful of ralsins, one teaspoonful of soda and one cupful of flour. Steam one hour. Drop Doughnuts.—Take one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted with one teaspoonful of baking powder, one egg, a little salt, ginger and grated lemon rind. Beat the egg white stiff, then add the sugar gradually, then add the beaten yolk, lemon rind, salt and ginger and milk with the flour. Drop from a teaspoon into hot fat and fry brown. Roll in powdered sugar. Chocolate Cookies.—Cream half a cupful of shortening with one cupful of sugar, one egg. Add one-half cupful of sour milk with one-half teaspoonful of soda, two squares of chocolate melted over hot water and one and one-half cupful of flour. A half cupful of nuts may be added if desired. Cover with a frosting, using one whole egg beaten, adding three cupfuls of confectioners' sugar and three tablespoonfuls of cream. This frosting will keep for some time. Put on the cookies when they are nearly cold. Cabbage Salad.—Shred very fine one small firm head of cabbage, add half a cupful of chopped almonds that have been blanched, four or five ripe bananas finely cut, mixed with a cupful or more of thick sour cream. Season with salt, red pepper and paprika and add a dash of vinegar, if it is not sufficiently acid. Mock Rabbit—Take a pound each of corned beef and veal, two onions and a green pepper; put all through the meat chopper, add three eggs and crumbs to make a loaf. Place in a baking pan with strips of bacon on top; bake three-quarters of an hour. Nellie Maxwell 17 POPULAR DISHES X THE CHEERFUL CHERUB I'll be a connoiseur of life. I'll seek no lofty stations.

Harris, late of Billings, Mont., was one of the many thousand enthusiasts who welcomed the Omaha trade boosters of the local Chamber of Commerce on their last western tour, accompanied by Dan Desdunes famous band, Mr. Harris heard the boosters talk and was much impressed, and his decision finally to follow one of the trails that lead to Omaha after hearing the band play. A musician himself, formerly a clarionetist in the old U. S. 24th infantry band, he sold his business, a prosperous and profitable barber shop and said "Omaha and that band for me." Mr. Harris has the journalistic bug. That's what brought him to the Monitor office. He was formerly the Billings correspondent for the Chicago Defender and the Indianapolis Freeman, and the many pleasing reports in those HARRY T. PIERCE, Manager papers of Montana and the vicinity are from his pen. He is a Spanish-American war veteran and enjoys the distinction of being the first Colored American soldier to land on Philippine soil. Mr. Harris is licensed as a barber by the board of Illinois and makes a deep study of the treatment of the skin. He is now a resident of Omaha, a member of our band and will be found each day plying his trade, awaiting customers and acquaintances alike on North 24th street at Price & Killingsworth's.
