MAYOR GALVIN GIVES WELCOME TO VISITORS Chamber of Commerce Give Party Automobile Tour of City; Cars Decorated with American and Liberian Flags; Dr. I. Garland Penn, Chairman Committee of Arrangements. (Special to The Monitor.) CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 22.—The Liberian party touring the United States as guests of the nation, consisting of President-elect C. B. D. King and Mrs. King, with Hon. W. F. Worley, financial advisor to the Republic of Liberia, has visited in Cincinnati in their itinerary. They were entertained at the Hotel Sinton while in the city. It is said here this is the first African or descendant to be entertained at the Sinton hotel. Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell, retired bishop to Africa of the Methodist Episcopal church; Mr. J. G. Schmidlapp, a millionaire philanthropist of the city, and Dr. I. Garland Penn, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, were the principal hosts to the party. They had but a twenty-four-hour stay in the city, which was crowded with features of entertainment and opportunities to see the racial and commercial progress of the people of the Queen City. During their visit the party was taken to the model and modern housing movement on Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, which is the work of Cincinnati's great philanthropist, Mr. J. G. Schmidlapp. This model community work has attracted the attention of leading social workers everywhere and it was appropriate that the presidential party should see this plan. Mayor Galvin received President-elect King and party at the city hall in the presence of seventy-five white and Colored leaders. Secretary I. Garland Penn had the honor of introducing the citizens to his excellency the president of the Republic of Liberia. Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell, so helpfully identified with all movements for Negro welfare in America and Africa, presented President King to the mayor. The bishop explained the new day which was on for Liberia and of the hopeful outlook. Mayor Galvin was most gracious and courteous in his welcome to the president and party to the city. Cincinnati's great mayor never appeared more at home and to better advantage than in his gracious words of welcome upon this occasion. Following the mayor's reception Mr. J. G. Schmidlapp entertained at luncheon in the Sinton hotel a select party with the president, Mrs. King and Hon. Mr. Worley. Attending this luncheon were Mr. J. G. Schmidlapp, Mr. Miller, another interested white friend of the Negro race; President Hinsch of the Fifty-third National bank; Dr. W. H. Wehrly, district superintendent Cincinnati district, West Ohio conference; Dr. E. C. Waring, editor Western Christian Advocate; Misses Campbell and Phillips of the War Camp Community Service; Secretary I. Garland Penn of the Freedmen's Aid society, and Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell. The bishop appeared at all functions in the garb of the knighthood granted by the Liberian government to those who have served the republic in a period of crisis. The Chamber of Commerce had the presidential party on an automobile tour of the city. The auto was appropriately decorated with flags of the United States and Liberia intertwined. As the party drove through the city citizens seemed greatly interested. The great and large function of the visit was at the Colored Y. M. C. A. auditorium, when a hundred banqueters, representing the most prominent colored men and women of Cincinnati, sat down with President and Mrs. King, Hon. Mr. Worley, Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell, Mr. J. G. Schmidlapp and Superintendent of Public Schools R. C. Condon at the banquet table. Looking down upon the banquet was THE MONITOR a crowded gallery to hear the addresses to be delivered. Secretary I. Garland Penn, chairman of the committee, was toastmaster. Hon. Joseph L. Jones, prominent business man, delivered the address of welcome on behalf of Cincinnati's colored population. When Dr. Penn introduced President King as about to enter upon the greatest day for the Liberian Republic in her history and that it was fortunate that he should return to his country from the peace conference by way of Cincinnati and the United States, the assembly arose as one man and waved and cheered the president before he began his address. The address was sincere, thoughtful and informing. The general impression made upon the leaders of the race was that President King is a reserved, sincere and earnest man who will give to Liberia a splendid administration at a time when the opportunities are great and responsibilities heavy. The address by Hon. W. F. Worley, financial advisor to the republic, concerning the loan of five million of dollars by the United States government and the purpose of such loan and what it will mean for the development of the country, was of the most encouraging nature. Other addresses were delivered by Lieutenant Gow, who was born in South Africa, and Bishop Hartzell. The entire banquet party went to Walnut Hills for another great meeting, which closed the visit of great and helpful events. The committee who had charge of arrangements are among Cincinnati's most prominent colored citizens. They are: Dr. I. Garland Penn, secretary of Freedmen's Aid society, chairman; Hon. W. Philip Dabney, assistant paymaster city treasurer's office, general secretary Y. M. C. A.; Mr. H. S. Dunbar, president W. J. Decatur Colored Industrial school; Hon. George W. Hayes, former member Ohio legislature; Principal F. M. Russell, Douglass school, and Hon. Joseph L. Jones, proprietor Central Regalia company. At the banquet table were such leaders as, Dr. D. P. Roberts of Allen Temple, A. M. E. church; Dr. B. F. Smith, Park Street M. E. church; Dr. E. H. Oxley, Protestant Episcopal church, and a host of others. Cincinnati feels and has been told that her welcome to a live Negro president was the greatest yet. JAPAN CRITICIZES THE UNITED STATES Prominent Newspaper Accuses Americans of Being Conscienceless and Points to Treatment of Negroes. TOKYO, Sept. 24.—That the observant people of Japan are measuring the sincerity of America by her treatment of Negro citizens is shown by prominent newspapers of the Flowery Kingdom. One of the leading Japanese newspapers, the Yamato, in a criticism upon the supposed altruistic role the United States is playing in bringing justice to the weaker peoples of the world, and especially in the east, as it appertains to the Shantung situation, said that Americans have no conscience at all. They should bow their heads in shame instead of holding them in the air and trying to question the integrity of other nations. They accused Americans of lynching and discriminating against Negroes in open defiance of the constitution. And when they are questioned about this they answer: What of it if one or two amendments are broken—if Negroes are kept out of participating in government affairs. The paper also prophesied that unless a federal lynch law was passed to prevent such depraved and outlawed occurrences the United States would face the most serious crisis in its history. A Japanese statesman just returned from Paris took occasion to say that American missionaries in the east are looked upon as colossal hypocritical jokes, because the whole world has turned the spotlight upon the injustice done the American Negro. T. R.'S FRIEND DIED Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 24.—"Captain" Seth Bullock, noted frontiersman and close personal friend of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt died at his home in Deadwood, S. D., early today after a long illness. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 25, 1919 SOUTH WANTS NEGROES TO RETURN TO COTTON FIELDS Southerners Express Willingness to Pay Fare of All True Sons of the South Who Will Answer the Call for Laborers From Dixieland. NORTHENERS NOT WANTED Recent Migrants Interviewed by The Monitor Unanimously Agree In Decision to Remain in the North. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 23.—Plenty of farm and mill work, better wages than ever before paid and improved living conditions await southern Negroes who have gone to the north and who now are said to be clamoring to return to the south, according to employers here. Southern farmers and plantation owners want the Negroes back. If there were some method of getting in touch with them it is declared the expense of their return to Dixie would be willingly borne. This will hold especially true for the next few weeks, because there is need of Negroes who know how to take care of the cotton crop. But these employers say they do not want northern born and reared Negroes. They would prefer to bring in foreign labor, they assert. "We would not hesitate to pay the expense of a hundred or more Negroes from Chicago or other northern cities to our place, if we can get southern Negroes, particularly Negroes who have gone from Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee," said A. C. Lange, vice president and general manager of the Chicago Mill and Lumber company, which owns more than 70,000 acres of timber and agricultural lands in northeastern Arkansas. "I think it safe to say that every southern Negro in the north would be brought back without expense to him if southern farmers and plantation owners knew where and how to get in touch with the southern-born. We don't want and will not have northern Negroes." The question of how to get in touch with Negroes who have gone north was discussed at the Memphis meeting of the Alluvial Land association several days ago and the subject will be a special order of business at the next meeting. The association is an organization of bankers, land owners, Chambers of Commerce, planters and lumbermen of the lower Mississippi valley, formed to serve, in measure, the same purpose for the delta country as the Chamber of Commerce serves the town or city. At the last meeting it was said there was great need for more labor in the lower Mississippi valley and especially for Negro labor Problem No Longer Sectional; Co-Operation and Racial Understanding Necessary. ACALL to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and of Christianity in the present condition of strained relations between the races has just been issued by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, acting in conjunction with a large representative committee of white and colored citizens from all sections of the country. This committee met recently in New York City on the call of the secretary of the Home Missions Council and the chairman of the Committee of the Federal Council on Negro Churches. Much time was given to a full and free discussion of the racial situation. As a result this address was issued, which represents the thought of these leaders and the deliberative judgment of the administrative committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. A Statement and Recommendations on the Present Racial Crisis. The recent race conflicts in some of our cities challenge the attention of the churches of Jesus Christ to their responsibility respecting an amicable and fair adjustment of race relations in America. In the fellowship of the Federal acquainted with southern agricultural methods and with cotton growing and handling. Wishing to secure the opinions of those who have come from the south to Omaha within the past two years, as to their desire and willingness to answer the call from the sunny southland, The Monitor has interviewed several from different states and finds an astonishing unanimity in sentiment favoring remaining in Nebraska. All express affection for their native heath, but assert that they are unwilling to return to the conditions which they left. They complain of the low wages received there, the inability to secure justice in the courts, the lack of educational opportunities and only a few, however, speak of the denial of the ballot. The following symposium is representative of the opinions expressed by all the migrants interviewed: James Bowler, formerly of Pensacola, Fla.—"I was a successful school teacher for thirty years in Florida. I would not exchange my work as a day laborer in Nebraska for even my former position in Florida." David Merriweather, formerly of Mobile, Ala., where he was a cotton sampler for one of the largest brokers in that state—"After two years' residence in Nebraska the south has nothing to offer me that I would either consider or accept." Dr. J. L. Green, former teacher and merchant at Morehead, Miss, says—"I left Mississippi, where they rob, beat and burn my people, because of their helpless situation, and I could not return there to submit to those conditions after my residence in Nebraska." J. O. Ward, a well-to-do farmer from near Newport, Ark.—"The White river valley is rich and productive and I had a good farm there. Repressive conditions, however, were galling to my manhood and I decided to look for more favorable surroundings. I came to Omaha, was pleased with the place and so I bought a little home here and am working as a day laborer. No, no more south for me, thank you, unless conditions are radically changed there." Will Paris of Houston Heights, Tex.—"I prefer to remain in the north, where you have protection of the law, a better chance to educate your children and steady work at good wages. I intend to remain in Omaha and if I don't I'll go farther north, not back south. I remained there thirty-six years and could stand it, but I have a wife, four boys and two girls and could not protect them. Haven't much education, but I can see a little ahead." Council of the Churches of Christ in America are included 3,989,852 members of the Negro churches. In speaking therefore at this time for humanity and justice we voice the mind and conscience of both races. The present situation is a challenge to the churches charged with the promotion of the brotherhood of man, which look upon all men as entitled to a footing of equality of opportunity. This calls for preaching the duty of economic and community justice for the Negro, thus securing peace and goodwill between the races. Beyond all else the present situation calls for confession on the part of Christian men and women of failure to live up to the standard of universal brotherhood as taught by Jesus Christ. In the adjustment of race relations our country has in this crisis not only its own conscience to satisfy, but also to justify itself as a nation before the enlightened opinion of mankind. As a foremost exponent of the ideals of democratic government the United States has been lifted to the full view of the world. Our present settlement therefore of race relations will influence in a very large measure the settlement of race relations in other parts of the world. We must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous inter-racial situation now threatens our country. The problems growing out of the presence (Continued on Page 2.) Reviews Parade of "Pershings's Own" By Invitation of Secretary of War Colored Americans Are Represented in Seat of Honor in Front of White House; An Event in Race History. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24. In recognition of the 400,000 Colored men who helped to win the world-wide war for democracy and freedom the Hon. Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, invited Dr. Emmett J. Scott to have a seat of honor in the official reviewing stand, immediately in front of the White House when "Pershing's Own" swept in triumph down Pennsylvania avenue Wednesday, September 17. Dr. Scott served throughout the war period as special assistant to the secretary of war with great satisfaction to the race and nation, having in charge the affairs of the colored troops and colored civilians generally, and since July 1 has been secretary-treasurer of Howard university. The official invitation sent to Dr. Scott read as follows: THE SECRETARY OF WAR Requests your presence at the Review of the First Division, United States Army At the Official Reviewing Stand, Pennsylvania Avenue, September 17th, 1919, at 1 o'clock. Dr. Scott was accompanied by Mrs. Scott, and these were the only members of the race to have seats in this magnificent structure, especially erected for the accommodation of distinguished citizens. Among those in the official stand, in addition to General John J. Pershing and his staff, were Vice President Marshall, Secretary of War Baker and other members of the president's cabinet, General Peyton C. March, chief of staff, United States army; Ambassador Jusserand of the Republic of France, and others of like prominence in the affairs of the world. The review of the First division, United States army, is the last grand review of the recent war, and, historically speaking, takes its place by the side of the last review of the union troops which paraded down broad Pennsylvania avenue in 1865 at the close of the civil war. The distinction which Secretary Baker accorded to the Negro race in this connection, with the universally popular Emmett J. Scott as its sponsor, is heartily appreciated by Colored Americans throughout the length and breadth of the land. A WARNING TO TOO AMATIVE TWOS WHO ARE WEDDED North Carolina Judge Keeps Ten Dollars Which Woman Refused to Accept from Her Husband. (By Associated Negro Press.) Salisbury, N. C., Sept. 23.—In the county court Judge Carlton was called on to decide an argument between a Negro and his wife. The husband claimed that he was merely loving her and offered her $10 to keep the affair out of court. The judge decided that the affair had no business in court and declared that the $10 which the husband tried to give the wife and the wife refused to accept should go-to the court as costs and the discouragement of such trivial cases from coming before the court. ROSENWALD OFFERS New York, Sept. 24.—Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has offered six scholarships of $1,200 each for Negro graduates of American medical schools who desire to take post-graduate work in pathology, bacteriology, physiology, pharmacology or physiological chemistry, according to an announcement made here by the general educational board. Appointment, to be made in 1920, will be made by a committee comprising Dr. William Welch, dean of the Harvard Medical school, and Dr. Victor V. Vaughn, dean of the medical department of the University of Michigan. Abraham M. Flexner, secretary of the General Educational board, will act as secretary of the committee. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! No. (Whole No. 221) nto Bay PREJUDICE PROVES PROVIDENTIAL Interurban Train, Upon Which Colored Passengers Were Not Permitted to Ride, to Escape Galveston Flood, Is Swept From Causeway Into Bay and Hundreds Perish. LOOKS LIKE SOLEMN WARNING ( Special to The Monitor. ) HOUSTON, TEX., Sept. 22.—What looks like a solemn warning against race prejudice which would place color before humanity even in the face of a common danger is furnished by a tragic happening which took place at flood swept Galveston last week. Whether this be so or not, it is certainly one case in which apparently from a race point of view prejudice proved providential. That your readers may understand the situation it is well to state that Galveston, which is located on an island, a mile and a half from the mainland, from which it is separated by the waters of Galveston bay, has been almost totally destroyed twice by storms and floods, once in 1900 and again in 1915. Naturally, then when storm signals are raised over the customs house, there is always anxiety about the safety of the people on the island, and preparations are begun to take the inhabitants from the danger zone to Houston, which is fifty miles distant, and adjacent territory. That was the case last week. When the news was heralded that a storm was sweeping up from Yucatan bringing death and destruction to Brownsville and Corpus Christi and was headed for Galveston, relief trains were immediately assembled to convey the endangered residents of Galveston to Houston over the interurban. Despite the fact that the colored population of Galveston number one-third of the whole, the interurban trains refused to allow any colored passengers to board any of the first trains out of the threatened city. The rule was white people first. When the first rescue train, loaded only with whites, had reached a point half a mile distant from Galveston the storm swept it from the causeway into the angry waters of Galveston bay and hundreds perished. It was a most distressing tragedy which brought sorrow to hundreds of homes. It strikes your correspondent as being a most significant occurrence which should teach a solemn lesson to those who would discriminate against any class of citizens in a time of common danger. It may be only an unexplainable coincidence, but it makes one think. THIS KIND WOULD MAKE GOOD WIVES Two Girls Can Fourteen Hundred Cans and Jars of Fruits, Berries and Vegetables. Wolfe City, Tex., Sept. 24.—Fourteen hundred cans and jars of fruit, berries and vegetables, all grown by Negro students of the Farmers' Improvement Agricultural school near this town, were put up by two girls of the school and recently placed on exhibition. About thirty articles of food were included in the exhibit. Organized about twelve years ago for the purpose of preparing Negroes of the state for farm and rural life the college lays special stress upon agriculture. The institute is under the auspices of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas which has for its aims the following objects: (1) To fight the credit system; (2) To buy and beautify homes; (3) to co-operate in buying and selling; (4) to promote education among its members; (5) to assist its members in distress and provide a decent burial for its dead. HEART COVERING PIERCED New Orleans, Sept. 24.—The attempt of Arthur Rainey, Negro, to end his life by shooting himself in the chest with a revolver is expected to be defeated by an operation performed in Charity hospital by Dr. Jerome Landry. The bullet tore through the covering of the heart. To reach and mend this Dr. Landry resected four of the man's ribs, bent back and made an opening in the chest five inches square. The heart itself, which was not touched by the bullet, was in plain view during the operation. National Race Congrss to Hear Eminent Speakers Vigorous Program Outlined for "Suffrage Session" in Defense of Constitutional Rights of America's 12,000. 000 Negro Citizens; Dr. Jernigan to Tell of His Observations in France; Thrilling Message from Overseas. (Special to The Monitor.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25. All is in readiness for the fourth annual or "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress of America, called to meet at the Metropolitan Baptist church in this city October 7 to 11. Reports from every section of the country indicate that the attendance will be the largest and most representative that has yet gathered on this continent to consider the welfare of the Negro people. Enthusiastic rallies have been held in the various communities and the local units organized by churches, fraternities, business and professional leagues and conferences have elected delegates who will come to the nation's capital October 7 to enter their protest against mob violence, lynching, political and civic proscription and to emphasize the necessity of the ballot as the primary safeguard to full and complete American citizenship for the Negro. Among the demands of the race congress will make are: the abolition of the "jim crow" car system on railroads; the abandonment of discriminatory regulations and segregation; fair trial by jury and a recognition of the Negro's right to sit on juries; the adoption of an economic wage scale to be applied alike to both races; adequate educational facilities and the same military training for Colored and white youths; reform in the penal institutions of the south and the breaking up of peonage; improved housing conditions for industrial workers and satisfactory provision for health and sanitary protection in the cities and towns; and the strict enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States in every state in the union. The race congress makes it plain that the basic influence that will bring these desired reforms is suffrage, and it is determined to insist upon the ballot as the vital force that will enable the race to enjoy the full fruits of freedom and to obtain its rightful share in the democracy for which a world war has just been fought and won. All who subscribe to these broad principles of social justice should send delegates to Washington October 7 and insist in formulating a program through which these sacred privileges may be most speedily secured. An especial feature of the race congress will be the report of Rev. W.H. Jernigan, who went to Paris as the accredited representative of the 12,000,000 Colored Americans and who took a strong stand in the Pan-African congress for the just government of the African colonies wrested from Germany and signed the petition of the Negro people for proper consideration of their grievances at the hands of the peace conference. Eminent Speakers Who Will Address the Race Congress. Announcement is made of a long list of able and influential speakers who will appear before the race congress during its five days' session. Some of those who have accepted invitations to deliver addresses are: United States Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, United States Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri, Congressman Martin B. Madden of Illinois, Bishop G. W. Clinton, Bishop I. N. Ross and Bishop W. D. Chappelle and President-elect C. D. B.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 23.—Associate Justice Gould, presiding in criminal division No. 1 of the district supreme court, did not mince words recently when he scored the police department of Washington for holding an innocent Negro for six months without trial. Thomas W. Hunter, Colored, was arrested last February on a charge of robbery. When his case was reached by the grand jury, for which he was held, the police admitted that they had made a mistake in arresting him. When the United States district attorney's office took steps toward having Hunter released the assistant district attorney suggested that he go on his own recognizance. At this point Associate Justice Gould declared that nothing of the sort should be done, and said: "The case is dismissed and the police owe him an apology for arresting him without any evidence against him. Such action on their part makes the administration of justice a reproach." CHURCH COUNCIL CALLS FOR JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO of two races in America are clearly seen to be nation-wide and the adjustment must necessarily be made on the basis of national responsibility. The migration of thousands of Negroes to the north emphasizes the fact. The outbreaks in several cities and the persistence of the anarchy and treason of lynch law imperil our democracy. The actual practice of the principles of the brotherhood of Christ can prevent such conflicts and nothing else will. The church must offer the ideals, the program and the leadership in this crisis. The church must meet its obligation or leadership will pass not only to secular agencies, economic or socialistic, but to forces that are destructive of civilization. We must confess that the church and its ministry as related to the welfare of the Negro has been too little inspired by the fundamental principles and ideals of Jesus Christ. Communities that have expressed horror over atrocities abroad have seen, almost unmoved and silent, men beaten, hanged and also burned by the mob. The Negro has ever shown profound faith in God and has always looked to the church for leadership, for counsel and for guidance. The church which for fifty years has a record of almost unmatched service in the education and betterment of the race will now be recruit to her trust and lose her birthright of service if she does not meet this confidence with a full sense of responsibility and a full measure of service for justice, peace and goodwill. To this end we therefore urge upon the church, her ministry and membership this constructive program: Constructive Program for Just Inter- Racial Relations. 1. The government, local, state and national, should impartially guarantee to all classes security of life and of property. Mob violence is becoming a crowd habit. When life and property are ruthlessly taken, when men and women are lynched with no protection from officers or courts, law and order are trampled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the press and all good people to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for THE MONITOR the enforcement of existing laws, that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be equally assured to all classes. 2. The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men, with equal pay for equal work and with fair working and living conditions. The entrance of large numbers of Negroes into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amicable adjustment of relations with white employers and fellow workers. 3. We call upon men and women everywhere to protect the sanctity of home and womanhood. We record with satisfaction the growing enlistment of Negro leaders in a program of education and Christianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the Negro should receive the same measure of respect and protection as that of other Americans, and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and impartial action of the law should strike the violator of the sanctity of any home, white or black. 4. We recognize as fundamental to the welfare and efficiency of society that adequate recreational provisions be made available for Negro citizens. 5. We strongly endorse the plea of the Negro for equal traveling accommodations for equal charges. 6. Adequate educational facilities for Negro children and youth should be provided not only as a national obligation but also as a necessity for national welfare. We emphasize the urgency of giving to the Negro his full share of local and national funds. 7. Qualifications for the franchise should be administered irrespective of race, creed or color. 8. Closer co-operation between the races should be promoted by organizing local committees of white and colored people in towns and communities e Monarch Cafe The Monarch Cafe The Monarch Cafe IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC YOUR PATRONAGE IS SOLICITED See us and arrange your Well cooked, wholesome food. made pies.

All possible agencies should be enlisted in fostering a spirit of justice and of goodwill in the relations of one race to the other. We recommend that the governor of each state appoint a standing committee for the careful study of the causes underlying race friction with a view to their removal and that congress be requested through a non-partisan committee to investigate the disturbed and threatening inter-racial situation throughout the nation. Racial understanding and co-operation furnish the only sure basis of race adjustment in a democracy. The root of the matter is the failure to recognize the Negro as a man. The basis of distress on both sides is fear, and "fear hath torment." Respect for Negro manhood and womanhood is the only basis for amicable race adjustment, for race integrity and for permanent racial peace. If we talk democracy, let us act democracy. If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self-determination of the weak and oppressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and goodwill abroad, let us apply the same program at home.

Crittenden Clark, one of the most prominent attorneys of St. Louis and present grand master of the Masons of Missouri and jurisdiction, in company with the following grand officers: Dr. Crossland, St. Joseph, Mo.; Eugene Lacey, Willis G. Mosley, Fred Dabney, Kansas City, Mo., and P. L. Pratt, Cameron, Mo., were in our city the 18th, 19th and 20th, closing up the business affairs of the Missouri jurisdiction in this state. Owing to the recent establishment of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Nebraska and its juris- diction it was necessary from Masonic custom and usage for Missouri to re- frain from doing further business in the state of Nebraska and to release all lodges in this state still holding charters under their jurisdiction. Grand Master Clark of Missouri called an oceasional Grand Lodge of Missouri Friday, the 19th, assisted by the following grand officers: Dr. Crossland, St. Joseph, Mo., senior grand warden. Fugene Lacey, Kansas City, Mo., junior grand warden. Willis G. Mosley, Kansas City, Mo., grand relief secretary, Fred Dabney, Kansas City, Mo., dis- trict deputy. P. L. Pratt, Cameron, Mo., grand lecturer. After the business pertaining to the lodges in this state holding charters of the Missouri jurisdiction had termi- nated and expressions of regret in severing connections, and success and goodwill having been extended to them, Grand Master Clark of the Mis- souri jurisdiction then turned the gavel of authority over to the Hon. Nathaniel Hunter, Omaha, most wor- shipful grand master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Nebraska and Jurisdiction, who then proceeded to call the two grand lodges into a joint session. ‘The following officers of the Ne- braska jurisdiction were present: Perry R. Warner, Omaha, deputy grand master. Jonathan N. Thomas, Omaha, grand junior warden. Walter L. Seals, Omaha, grand lee- turer. Charles W. Dickerson, Omaha, grand on'ar deacon. After an unlimited exchange of fra- ternal greetings and the appointment of the grand representatives to the Grand East of cach Grand Lodge, the yepresentatives of Missouri then dis- played that flow of oratory for which they have long been known, in the of- ficial acknowledgment of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Nebraska and its Masonic Jurisdiction, and hoped for them many successes. ‘The joint session of the Occasional Grand Lodge was closed in the most befitting manner by Nathaniel Hun- ter, grand master of the state of Ne- braska and its jurisdiction. The visiting grand officers were highly entertained during their brief stay in our city and openly expressed their regrets as to not having had their Grand Lodge entertained in this state, ‘They left Saturday evening for Mis- souri much pleased and enjoyed. BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS IN THE NORTH PROSPER Over Four Companies Have a Cap- italization of Over $235,000, With Excess Sales of — $50,000—Ohio Leads All States. Columbus, 0., Sept. 24.—As a result of inadequate housing conditions in several of the most important indus- trial centers to which Negro work- men have gone in large numbers since 1916, Charles E. Hall, supervisor of Nero economies for Ohio, began arly in May, 1919, a campaign for building and loan associations to be organized and financed by the pro- gressive colored men and women in each of these congested communities to assist Negroes to buy or. build homes. A circular letter calling attention to “Housing Facilities for Negro La- bor,” together with a statement giv- ing general information on the sub- ject of organizing building and loan ‘associations was carefully prepared and mailed from the Columbus office on May 8, and through the courtesy of the Department of Building and Loan Associations were mailed to the chairman of each County Negro Workers’ Advisory Committee. A model form of constitution and by- laws was also prepared by the super- visor who gave copies to those most interested. ‘Through correspondence and local conferences the movement was started from Lake Erie to the Ohio river. Prior to this there was only one association, the Star Building and Loan Association of Toledo, which was under the direction and control of colored men, Sinee the inaugura- tion of the campaign of Supervisor Hall, three other associations have been organized and chartered, one at Springfield, Middletown and Cleve- land, while others are being pro- moted at Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus, Greenfield and Youngstown, by influ. ential men who have a vision of racial opportunities through co-operative en. terprises. The four companies mentioned have ‘a combined capitalization of $235,000 with stock sales already in excess of $50,000. The Negroes of Ohio now lead those of all other northern states in this enterprise. BOOTLEGGERS PROVE INVENTIVE GENIUSES Many Former Liquor Dealers Become Ardent Horticulturists and Vendors of Potted Plants; There Is a Reason, San Juan, P. R., Sept. 19.—The gov- ernment officials have just discovered the means by which liquor is carted around San Juan and disposed of in contravention of the prohibition law. The old crude methods were stopped long ago, but the liquor still continued to circulate. Recently an inspector noticed a big boom in the business of peddling growing plants, People who had been in the liquor business, it appeared, were particular- ly interested in horticulture all of a sudden, and the agent got suspicious and investigated. He found that gaso- line tins had been arranged with false bottoms, inclosed in which was the contraband liquor. The upper part of. the tin was filled with clay and a growing plant placed in it. The dealer had only to trans- plant his shrubbery from the filled tin to an empty one and get out the par- ticular form of intoxicant he wanted. DEMAND FEDERAL GOVERN- MEN CONTROL LYNCHING New York, Sept. 23.—The following resolutions, calling for federal inter- vention in states where lynching is un- punished and unchecked, were unani- mously passed at a mass meeting of 1,000 persons in the meeting hall of the Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West Sixty-fourth street, New York City, on the night of September 16: “We, citizens of the United States, assembled in the meeting hall of the Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West Sixty-fourth street, New York City, on the night of Tuesday, September 16, submit that: “Whereas, John R, Shillady, secre- tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was without provocation brutally as- saulted in broad daylight on a main street of Austin, Tex., on August 22, 1919, the mobbists being led in person by a county officer of the state of Texas; “Whereas, Governor W.

THE MONITOR In Dubious Garb end By RALPH HAMILTON (Seavey “Dear, dear!" mourned and pitied Alvin Prince, and stood looking down at a human form lying prone upon the straw-littered floor of an abandoned shelter shed at a remote corner of his farm, He was a genial old soul, this pleas ant-faced, kind-hearted deacon, select- man and the prop and stay of sterling uprightness and dignity in the com- ‘munity. He had been passing the shed, when he fancied that a groan proceed- ed from within. He stepped across ‘the threshold and, startled and paz aled, gazed down at the recumbent fig- | ure. Tt was that of a young man with a refined cast of features, his eyes closed in sleep. Two further discav- eries of the farmer brought a serious “expression to his face. One hand was abrased and bleeding, and a cut In the head showed a secon@ recent Injury. “A convict—an escaped convict,” 90 liloquized Prince. “Poor fellow! And “he's badly burt. What ts my duty tn ‘the case? He looks Ikely, and per- haps a mother, a sister is worrying abont him. ‘There isn’t anything of ‘the criminal in that face, Shall I pro- tect him?” ‘The decision was quickly made. Prince proceeded across the farm, got to the house, made up a bundle and, hitching up a horse to the old family carryall, started back the route he had come. | "Mother and Zetda away,” he solilo- -quized. “and I don't see Zeph anywhere around. ‘That just suits me.” — Zeph Barnes was the handy man ‘about the farm, At that moment he was making bis way past the old shed. “His coarse lips puckered as he dis- covered its inmate, He scented a mys tery as he saw Prince returning. He wondered If there was any reward of- fered for the apprehension of con- ylets and, climbing to the shallow loft in the structure, waited for develop- ments, ‘These materialized with the arrival of Prince, ‘The latter proceeded to dis- robe the stranger. He made a bundle of the incriminating conviet garb and thrust it Into an old manger, attired him in # suit of his own, lifted him into the wagon and drove to the house, He got his involuntary guest to bed, applied lotions to his wounds, and won- dered what his story would be. When consciousness was restored, Alvin Prince gently inquired if the Injuries were painful. “1 think only a stumbling fall,” re plied bis guest, “Let me see, I was— Where was I? What was I doing? Tm all dazed. My name ts Wilbur ‘Thorne. T have a home, but I left it for wandering a long tle ago. T've kept going with all kinds of jobs, You must be a pretty kind sort of a man to take ina stranger this way.” “Oh, that is all right," declared Prince lightly, and felt a certain delt- cacy about referring to his convict sus- pieions. Mrs. Prince and her daughter Zelda came home two days later from a week's visit to a relative, to find the Interesting-looking stranger insisting upon doing some light work about the farm. ‘They were so used to the charl- table impulses of the husband and fa- ther, that they did not question him when be told them that he was taking care of his visitor until he got on bis feet again, His frank, engaging ways won the favorable opinion of Zelda and her mother, and as the weeks drifted on Wilbur Thorne became so useful and so happy that Prince bad not the heart to either question him or turn him away. He had not noticed that a bond of mutual liking was being cemented be- tween the two young people, but Zeph Barnes, himself secretly in love with Zelda, though the latter detested him, was witness to an interview between ‘Thorne and herself when the latter confessed his deep affection for the farmer’s daughter. Just before dusk that evening, Just as the family were seated on the lawn, Mr, Prince read- ing, Mrs. Prince at her knitting and Zo\ta and Thorne looking over a ple- torial magazine, there appeared Zeph Barnes and a man whom the farmer at once recognized as the town marshal, “There's the man," spoke Zeph, pointing to Thorne, “He's an escaped convict, and bere—" and he tore open a bundle under his arm, revealing the convict’s garb in which Prince had first seen Thorne. “Why! you give me # link in the Dust always a mystery to me," exelaim- ed Thorne abruptly, arising to his feet with an animated expression on his face. “1 wore that suit the day I got burt.

For mankind are one in spirit, and an instinct bears along, Round the earth's electric circle the swift flush of right or wrong; Whether conscious or unconscious, yet humanity's vast frame Through its ocean-sundered fibres feels the gush of joy or shame; In the gain or loss of one race all the rest have equal claim. —James Russell Lowell. THE homes of any land or people determine what the future of that country or people is to be. The strength of a nation or people depends upon the moral character of those who compose its families. The progress of a race is correctly measured by the morality and sanctity of its home life. Domestic life—that is to say the home life, or, in other words, the family—forms the foundation of civil society. No nation, no race, can rise above the moral or intellectual standards of its component families. Since this is true it must be plain that no pains should be spared to make the family all that it should be and that every evil or agency which imperils the purity and sanctity of the family should be most vigorously opposed. One of the greatest evils threatening the American home today is divorce. And one of the chief causes of divorce, which is fast becoming a national sin, if, indeed, it has not already reached that point, is the lightness and thoughtlessness with which men and women enter the married state. And this thoughtlessness upon the part of young men and women is largely traceable to the attitude and tone assumed by older people—yes, even by fathers and mothers—in discussing this sacred ordinance. Many, unfortunately, talk of it too frequently only in jest or discuss it in the spirit of levity. This, of course, has its baneful effect upon the minds of the young and they are lead to look upon marriage lightly. If, then, everything does not go just as either the one or the other thinks it should the divorce court is speedily sought and a family is torn under. There is therefore need of serious thought and sound teaching upon the subject of marriage, which is the foundation of the family and the home. It is the fundamental social ordinance and the most important of human institutions. It is an ordinance instituted of God for the perpetuity of the human race and the moral and spiritual welfare of mankind. Normal young men and women should be taught to look forward to the honorable estate of matrimony and should be taught to prepare themselves for its duties and obligations. They should be taught to look forward to the establishment of homes and the rearing of families "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." They should be taught that marriage is a school of virtue where self-restraint must be constantly exercised and where, amid many cares and worries, harmony and concord should ever prevail and that therefore, along with affection, there is needed sympathy in moral aims and spiritual and religious ideals. If our nation is to endure the homes of our people, the family, must be safeguarded, and one of the safeguards must be a truer conception of marriage, which is the very foundation of the family, and this will in turn lessen that great menace of the American home today,—one of our greatest national sins,—divorce, which all right-thinking people must deplore. Speaking of this evil a few years ago, Mr. Roosevelt said: "The census of American divorce is appalling. Easy divorce is a bane to any nation. It is a curse to society and a menace to the home and an incitement to married unhappiness and immorality, an evil thing for men and a still more hideous evil for women." Let all who would see our nation, our people, truly great, righteous and strong, realize the importance of doing everything possible to safeguard the family. BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE THE United States Department of Justice has been investigating Colored newspapers to ascertain if they are publishing articles tending to stir up strife between the races. The watchfulness and zeal of the government to suppress the publication of any articles that may have a tendency to cause bitterness and stir up strife upon racial, religious, class or any other grounds between citizens of this country is to be commended and would be most commendable if it were honest and sincere. But we regret to say frankly that this apparent vigilance impresses us as being transparently INSINCERE. In almost every city in the country the dailies are permitted to "play up big," in glaring and sensational headlines, the vague rumors of crimes alleged to have been committed by Negroes. Particularly is this the case if the alleged offense is against one of the white race. Here are some examples of what we mean: "Negro Brute Attacks White Woman," "Negro Ties White Girl to Tree and Assaults Her," "Negro Highwayman Murders Man and Rapes Companion," "Negro Bandits Shoot and Kill Groceryman," "Negroes Continue to Attack White Women," "Negroes Again Riot in Washington, Killing White Men." These are only a few of the headlines which have appeared in dailies in Washington, D. C.; New York City; Kansas City, Mo.; Omaha, Neb., and elsewhere within the last few weeks. In Omaha, for example, it has become almost a daily event for the pink sheet of the Omaha Daily News and the Omaha Bee, until quite recently above this reprehensible custom, to carry screaming, scarecrow head lines of an alleged crime by some Negro. Most of this scarecrow propaganda business in Omaha is "pure, dirty politics," to use an Irish bull. Nevertheless it damages, offends and wounds self-respecting and law-abiding citizens, and if persisted in will inevitably lead to regrettable results. Were these reports of crime true it would be bad enough, but when the large proportion of them is absolutely false and the papers fail to feature or even publish the denial, the injustice of this must be plain to all. Now, if the United States Department of Justice is really sincere and in earnest about the suppression of the publication of articles that may tend to engender bitterness and stir up strife between the races The Monitor respectfully suggests that it turn its attention to the dailies of the country which persist in playing up head lines about alleged crimes by Negroes. Let the department see to it that reference to race is at least omitted from the head lines. Scrutinize the white press and compel it to publish truth, not fiction; facts, not vague rumors, and pleasant and helpful relationship will exist between all classes of American citizens. Investigation of the colored press for causes of ill-feeling and race friction is simply barking up the wrong tree. NOT SATISFIED THE MONITOR is by no means satisfied with the retention of the two indicted officers on the police force. They should be suspended until their case is disposed of in the courts. Mr. Ringer insists that it would be adding injustice to injustice to suspend them. We insist that he is adding injustice to injustice so far as the public is concerned and they ought to have some consideration in retaining these men who have shown themselves so reckless with firearms and illgoverned and unguarded in their language. Of course we don't expect to have saints on the police force, but we ought to have men who can make arrests or attempt to make arrests without using vile epithets. KEEP YOUR CHILDREN OFF THE IT is a crying shame and disgrace that children of tender years are permitted to roam the streets of our city up to a late hour of night wholly unattended by their parents. This is a THE MONITOR serious matter. It is fraught with great moral danger. Boys and girls, and we have in mind now particularly the children of our own racial group, because we are striving to serve primarily our own people, from 10 years old and upward, some apparently younger, are seen parading up and down North Twenty-fourth street at almost any hour of the night, even as late as 11 and sometimes 12 o'clock. Parents are to blame for this laxity. Most of us err on the side of leniency with our children. In this we are making a grave mistake. Keep your children off the streets at night, unless you can be with them. Flashes of Most Anything WHITES in Galveston, Tex., are perfectly willing that "Cuffie" take first place when the way leads into eternity. During the recent storm there, the slogan was: Whites—first chance on rescue trains. Negroes—first chance to heaven. In the language of Robert Burns, "the best laid plans o' mice and men gae aft aglee." MIGRANTS from the south are one in shouting, "the south surely is a good place—from which to come." WE have an overwhelming, irresistible impulse toward poetry this week. Don't be alarmed we'll not punish you with our own spasms, but will give you some of the other fellows. OBSERVED a locomotive in the railroad yards one day, It was waiting in the roundhouse where the locomives stay; And it had a box the fireman was filling full of sand. It appears that locomotives cannot always get a grip On their slender iron pavements, cause the wheels are apt to slip. And when they reach the slippery spot, their tactics they command, And to get a grip upon the rail they sprinkle it with sand. If your track is steep and hilly, and you have a heavy grade. And if those who've gone before you have the rails quite slippery made; If you ever reach the summit of the upper tableland, You'll find you'll have to do it with a liberal use of sand. If you strike some frigid weather and discover to your cost, That you're liable to slip on a heavy coat of frost, Then some prompt decided action will be called into demand; And you'll slide clear to the bottom if you haven't any sand.

LEADING EDITORIALS OF THE DAY The New Negro and New White Man, PRESIDENT W. S. SCARBOROUGH, D. D., of Wilberforce university, writing for the New York Independent, says that "the spirit of the Negro who went across the sea, who was in action and who went over the top, is by no means the spirit of the Negro before the war. He is altogether a new man with new ideas, new hopes, new aspirations and new desires. . . . It is a new Negro that we have with us now; may we not also hope that we have a new white man?" Dr. Scarborough faces a new racial situation and describes it accurately if tersely. Our government, when war was declared, made no discrimination between the white man and the black; it called upon both alike for service. It assumed that both were loyal citizens, both ready to defend their country, its rights and its honor. The Colored soldier made a good record. Considering his natural equipment, he made a record which he need not hesitate to compare with soldiers of other races. The performance of the American white soldier is a source of pride to his people at home. His devotion to the principles of our government, to the spirit of our institutions, is in keeping with the privileges which they confer upon him. That they are conferred upon him in a higher degree than upon the colored soldier requires no demonstration. Failure on the part of the latter to respond willingly and to perform faithfully the duties imposed SAND might have been excused in some measure on account of the discrimination against the colored man politically and in other ways. But he has not taken advantage of that situation, and in not doing so he has imposed a heavier obligation upon the white man to render to him justice and to have regard for his political rights than has been recognized heretofore. Two things, in fair proportion, have been denied the colored man—education and political rights. The latter he is doubtless prepared to assert more boldly than heretofore on account of his recent experiences in the war; the other—the right to fair and equitable provision for his education—he will also insist upon. But others should unite with him, earnestly, in demanding a fair share of the educational advantages provided. The duties of the citizen in a democratic form of government cannot be discharged satisfactorily or even with safety to the community at large without an educated, intelligent citizenship. Although the rate of Negro literacy in Alabama, according to federal statistics, is $40\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, the Young Men's Christian association found that, of the 3,600 Negro conscripts from that state at Camp Dodge, over 75 per cent were unable to read or write effectively. But what is to be expected from educational facilities which involve an expenditure in Alabama of $1.78 per capita per annum for each Negro child, $1.76 in Georgia and $1.31 in Louisiana. These states, it is said, expend from five to six times this amount per capita for the schooling of white children; but a more striking comparison is that with our own city, where it appears from recent computations that the annual expenditure per capita for children in the public schools of Minneapolis, regardless of race, is $52.51 per annum. If we are going to have, as Dr. Scarborough says, "a new Negro as the result of the war" and he is to be an asset rather than a liability, a useful citizen rather than a source of peril to the state, we will have to give him a better proportion of the educational facilities provided at public expense. And this is the duty of the new white man—to realize that he has no right to assume that the colored man will be able to exercise his rights of citizenship with safety to the state if a more equitable distribution of funds for education is not made. So long as he is denied to this extent the opportunity to equip himself for the duties of the citizen, we have no right to expect from the colored man a right appreciation of his civic duties. To do so would be to assume him to be equipped with natural qualities of both heart and mind superior to those of the white man—Minneapolis Sunday Tribune. (By Associated Negro Press.) Piffle! Piffle! What's in a Name? WHY do we keep on talking and bothering about a name? It's a contention as old as Hector's pup, and it "ain't settled yet," and never will be, that's certain. The Portland Advocate recently had a scholarly written editorial decrying the use of the term "Negro." Followed a brief editorial in the Portland Times denouncing the term "Colored." Both arguments are good, as such arguments go, but it impresses us as a foolish waste of valuable energy. There was once a scholarly and experienced man who stated that none of the terms, including Afro-American, should be used, but that we should always refer to ourselves as "this division of mankind," and his assertion was applauded. Any term may be dignified by the proper effort. "Methodist" was once as derisive as "bolshevik" or "Hun." But is it not respected everywhere today? As a matter of fact, "use is the law of language" and that is determined by the leading thinkers and writers and in our instance the majority use "Negro" while many just as able use "Colored," and a diminishing few use the hyphenated "Afro-American." But what's the difference? It's like a fellow who said: "Sometimes I call my wife sweetheart, other times sweets, and then at times 'Babe,' and again by her first name," and, in the language of Bert Williams' latest song, he might have added, "It's nobody's business but my own." If we would spend as much time in constructive discussion as we do over non-essentials, it would not be long before our GROUP—how's that?—would get somewhere. It is high time in this adjustment of human relations to classify individuals. It is just as manifestly unfair for us to say, "I hate white people," as it is for them to say, "I hate black people." The meanest white people we know all have some individuals among us whom they would stand by until the last ditch is reached, and it is very evident that there are some of our own kindred who disgust one's very soul. The thing to do is cease using general terms. Give credit to whom credit is due and "call" those THE PERISCOPE Let's Classify Them. who really deserve it. Progress has been made in this direction, but there is a long road yet to travel. Let's classify all the people and be fair about it. A Negro's Good Example. The first bale of cotton for the season to be ginned in Harris county, Georgia, was grown by a Negro living on a rented farm near Houston. The producer of the cotton, William Whiting, worked hard to make this record. After getting the bale picked he hauled it to the city during the night, arriving at 2 o'clock in the morning, for fear that some one else would beat him to the honor of selling the first bale of Harris county cotton this year. He was rewarded for his labor, for, in addition to receiving a good price for his product, he was given a premium of $25 by cotton men. The interest this man has shown in his work on the farm is to be commended. He is the type that is a credit to his race. What the country needs Dental Hygiene and Care of the Teeth By Dr. W. W. Peebles PREVENTATIVE MEASURES FOR many years the main object of medical science and its close associate, dental surgery, was along curative lines; in other words, the greatest efforts were made to combat disease and sickness, or to cure the patient, while little thought was given to the prevention of these morbid conditions. Gradually there entered the field of science many men of profound learning and keen vision, whose prophetic eye early discerned the wisdom of doing something to prevent sickness, to close the door before the trouble even commenced; hence, birth was given to that most beneficial science, the science of hygiene and sanitation. Now, after many years of experimentation, many methods and substances have been evolved and found which, when properly employed, greatly les- The Beautiful Thing We sell Ford Motor Cars and Fordsom Farm Tractors. 25th Year of We have an attractive proposition to make to a few ambitious women.

There is a place in the south for the Negro who takes a pride in producing and the farm offers him his best opportunity to become economically independent. Every community has its "Old Man Killjoy." He sees life through blue glasses only; the world is getting worse and there's nothing to hope for, His laugh is a pain, both to him and to those about him. He has a head full of destructive ideas, but never a constructive suggestion. He grows enthusiastic in discussing scandal and the things that tear down one's good name, but is blind to the virtues and good deeds of life. Such individuals are a pest worse than plague, and a menace to progress. It is to be regretted that they did not all have first class jobs, with their backs turned, in the front line trenches. They are taking up good, valuable space in the world that could better be utilized by a well fled mule. sen the susceptibility of the human system to disease. As these articles will be almost exclusively devoted to the method to be observed for the prevention of disease it may not be amiss to refer briefly to a few of the most prevalent diseases and the recent advances made in the stamping out of said disease. Statistics from the medical department of the United States army show (strict adherence being observed in the relative numbers) that the rate of deaths from typhoid fever was almost 350 times as large during the civil war than in the war we have just passed through. In malaria and dysentery we find the proportion even greater. Numerous similar instances could be cited, but sufficient has been said to substantiate the most optimistic claims made by medical men of today concerning the benefits received by mankind from the observance of sanitation. Just as the principles of hygiene, when rigidly adhered to, have rid the system of the possibility of many morbid conditions—or, in other words, rendered the system immune to certain diseases—so a like observance of hygiene and sanitation in the oral cavity will render our mouths immune to many teeth troubles. The great blood system, like a mighty stream coursing throughout the whole system, not only gives to the various structures its very life, but also carries along in its wake all the impurities found along its course. Hence our efforts to impress upon our readers the great necessity of preventing these noxious products from entering the body. And from now on these methods, particularly those which have been adopted for the mouth, will be elaborated upon. Old Man "Killiov."

AMERICAN LEGION TO STAGE BOXING SHOW John Tholmer, Camp Funston Boxing Instructor, to Meet Art Davis, the "Omaha Long Boy," in Six-Round Bout Friday Night. The Roosevelt post of the American Legion, local Colored branch, has started a membership drive by which they hope to enroll every Colored service man in Douglas county within the next ten days. On Friday evening, beginning at 8:30 o'clock, at their clubrooms, Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets, a special program will be rendered in connection with the meeting. Several events are on the card, the main one of which will be the heavyweight mill between John Tholmer, who recently came here from Camp Funston, where he was in charge of the physical training of the Colored troops, and Art Davis. Mr. Tholmer has had wide experience in connection with the boxing game. For over twelve years he was actively engaged in pugilism as a professional. Still a young man and physically sound he can yet give a good account of himself. "Long Boy," his opponent, is well known around these parts, having done quite a deal of boxing here and in Missouri. He was a member of the 372d regiment of the Ninety-third division.

That really would be exclt- ing! Do you think they like us enough to do that?” “You're a nice brother; you don't tense, and if you do, it’s all in fun and’ not in meanness. You teach me how to do things, instead of saying ““Cry-baby, can't come along.’ I'm sure they'll like you, If we get into f@ xerape, you take your full share of the blame, You're such a nice broth er!” “Phink of the fellows who have si ters who are nothing but little babies. Tm tueky, T am.” ‘They smiled at each other, Nick and Nancy did, for they are such good pals. “Let's say we're going to become better and better friends all the time,” suid Nancy. “We've been getting new friends ever since other boys and girls read about us and our nice Daddy and the Evening Tale he told us every eve- ° a ee Be eM LY eg eet Ges pa el eae oa po ae ~ Cr ey ie ning. That has been quite a long time now, but not too long!” “Dear me, dear me!” sald x sweet voice, and, looking around Nick and Naney noticed that it came from the direction of the sugar bowl. “Dear me, dear me,” it said again, “rm glad to see how nice you two children are today, so good-natured and well-behaved. Just like myself!” “Don't be so proud, Sugar Bowl,” said the Salt Cellar. “I remember the day, end not so long ago, either, when you were very scarce and when you didn’t give much of your sweetness at all.” “But you're never sweet,” said the Sugar Bowl, “and though sometimes there has been but little of me, what there has been, has been sweet.” | “True enough, but I give seasoning to food.” said the Salt Cellar. “Life would be very dull without season- tng.” “Listen, Salt Cellar,” said the Su: gar Bowl, “you'd better keep out of this story. Nick and Naney have a plan to ask their friends to introduce them to thelr friends in turn, and only ‘things like myself sbould enter into the story.” “Oh, very well,” said the Salt Cel- ar, “I never was much on receptions, ‘Sugar and tea and ice cream and cake “and boys and girls go together far bet- ter at a party, so T'll stay away todey. ‘TN come in another time, instead.” ‘The Sugar Bow! smiled. Have you ever seen a sugar bowl smile? It's a hard thing to believe; but, never ‘mind, this sugar bow! smiled, and tt said: “Boys and girls, I live in the same house with Nick and Nancy, and while they're not as sweet as sugar, they are a nice pair. Don't you think so?” Why Is the letter G like the sun? It Is the center of light. Martha's Cross-Eyed Bear. A mother having the habit of sing- ing at her work, warbled: “No more, no more that cross T'd benr.” Four- year-old Martha. ud ating the dog. asked seriously: “Is he a crosseyed bear?” What Did Mamma Expect? Dorothy had seen her mother drop a nickel in the contribution box at church, and when she proceeded to find fault with the sermon on the way home she said: “Well, mamma, what could you expect for # nickel?” Ocowasin group entertained their mothers Friday afternoon at the home of Gladys Brown to a literary and mu- sieal program.

Simple Accessories Easily Transformec Into Things of Beauty—Smocks to Be Feature of the Fall Dreen ‘The sketch presented today shows a graceful, long-handled parasol on Japanese lines, made of dull blue taf- feta and hand-painted in purple and black. The handle is black wood. Nov- elty parasols are decided additions to the summer wardrobe and by the use of hand-painting it is possible for a woman to possess one, or a number for that matter, entirely different from anything the shops may be able to offer. A plain parasol purchased at a nominal price may be easily trans- formed into a really rich and apparent- ly expensive article by decorating it with painted or embroidered designs. Floral effects are most frequently seen, but vividly plumaged birds are effective. The surface of one lovely parasol noticed recently was pretty well covered with round dots in vari- ous sizes and colors, the general effect suggesting flouting balloons. ‘The smock shown may be made of georgette in any preferred color and embroidered with heavy wool in con- trasting shade. Smocks now being brought out for fall emphasize the strong hold this garment has acquired. The Cossack smock is an interesting model. This is cut on straight lines and is somewhat longer than the conventional smock. e Ly ee We 7 ‘The jersey weaves either in silk oF wool (fiber silk is more frequently em- ployed than pure silk) are popular fabrics, and brilliantly contrasting silk floss, heavy wool or chenille is used to embroider the garment. One of these sinocks will be found excellent for sport wear during the late summer or early fall days. The young college or high school girl will find such a garment matched with a plain wool fabrie skirt very useful. Preparation of the wardrobe of the girl who goes away to school should be ‘begun early. Fortunately fall styles have already been sufficiently settled so that making up simple dresses, blouses, ete., for school wear may be done along next season style specifica tions. Don’t go around with a cnip on your shoulder, because it offers a strong temptation to some other fellow to knock it off. What are you, a knocker or a booster? z S. W.

THE AMERICAN LEGION OUR returned service men of this city have been granted a charter for a post of the American Legion to be known as the Theodore Roosevelt post number 30. The following named officers have been chosen: Dr. Amos B. Madison, chairman; Earl Wheeler, vice chairman; Rufus Long, secretary; Benjamin Slaughter, assistant secretary; Andrew Reed, corresponding secretary and Cecil B. Wilkes, treasurer. The organization of the post is well under way and a special effort is being made to induce all colored men of this city and vicinity who were in the service for even one day to join this post of the American Legion. Special permission was granted by the Roosevelt family to designate this post in honor of the illustrious Theodore. That permission was granted in a letter which is framed and hangs beneath the picture of the late Mr. Roosevelt, which was presented to the post by Mr. S. S. Caldwell, a prominent financier of this city. The purpose of the activities of the American Legion is well expressed in the motto of the organization which is Policies—Not Politics." This places us in the country in such a position that we may ask and even demand that certain features of the government be most thoroughly eradicated and that yet newer provisions for the betterment of the country be adopted. It is not the purpose of the American Legion to endrose or denounce any particular candidate for any particular office. That is the business of political parties, which the American Legion distinctly is not as is evidenced by the preamble to the provisional constitution adopted in the St. Louis conference. "For God and country we associate ourselves together for the following purpose: "To uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness." The principles laid down in the above quoted motto and preamble hold a message of more nearly democratizing the country and eradicating racial differences in this country than has ever before been adopted. Surely no other such organization has ever been in existence which will approach that democratic ideal to which we are all striving as this one. It is the duty of every colored man who saw any service in this past war to come shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of citizenry by joining the American Legion and to so unite all of his efforts that he may be, both to himself, his community and the country, a citizen in the fullest sense of the word.

KANSAS FORMS STATE TENNIS ASSOCIATION Parsons. Kan., Sept. 20.—The second annual tennis tournament for Kansas state championship was held under the auspices of the Idle Hour Tennis club of Parsons, September 1. Players representing Coffeyville, Wichita, Independence and Parsons were entered. On account of the large entrance and the late start only the semi-finals were reached. The four left in the semi-finals were the best in the state of Kansas. In the semi-finals Dr. Bell of Wichita was to play Dr. Bowser of Parsons, and Mr. Bias Hunnigan of Coffeyville to play the star of all-comers and the 1919 champion of the Parsons city championship in singles and doubles, Mr. W. M. Gillespie of Parsons. All the matches before the semifinals were closely contested and some rare form shown. In doubles Parsons showed exceptional form and defeated their opponents in easy fashion. After the tournament a Kansas state association was formed, the officers being as follows: Dr. E. E. Bowser, president; Dr. Bell, vice president; Prof. Whittaker, secretary; Dr. Davis, treasurer. FOR EQUAL RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS Interstate Commerce Committee Requested to Remove Discriminations Against Colored Passengers. (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 23.—Facilities for Colored passengers equal to those provided for whites on interstate railroads, the elimination of "jim crow" cars and the removal of discrimination against Colored passengers, was advocated before the Interstate Commerce committee considering the railroad control bill. George H. Murray, representing the National Negro Racial association, urged an amendment to the Esch-Cummins bill which would guarantee Negro interstate travelers the same treatment as accorded white passengers on railroads in all states in the union. Trunk line carriers in the south as well as short lines, Murray said, had suffered serious financial loss because of discrimination against the Negro traveler. Lucky for Grandma. Grandmother always reproved her grandchildren by telling them how much for the worse children had changed since she was a child herself. One day she was scolding her nine-year-old grandson for spending his pennies instead of saving them. "Now when I was your age," she said, "I had a whole bank full of pennies. Buying candy was a holiday, not an every-day affair." Fred still eyed his pennies. "Grandmother," he said, quite respectfully, "isn't it lucky for you that none of us were alive when you were young?" A Word of Prudence. "If you must be a musician, my són, learn to play the piano." "Why, father?" "Then when you are engaged with an orchestra you can turn your back on the room and don't have to look at the dancing." Lincoln Department Mrs. W. H.

Tholmer Two colored boys from the south were recently heard to carry on the following conversation: Jimmy was observed by George speaking to a white child (girl), who was trying to take a toy from his hands and said: "Say, feller, yer mus' be tryin' ter be der main guy at er necktie party. Don't yer know we all ain't erlowed ter talk to no wite gals? I jist seed in der papers whar er linchin' is er bout ter take place in Wyoming up nort er bout a man wid er ill baby girl." Jimmy quickly answered: "Yer must be el fool feller; I seed dat in der paper too. But-dat wuz wer wite man. Yer know yer oneself no culled fellus don't do them tings les den deys bugs er drunk, 'ceptin' in the noozepapers whar dey manifacture dem lies to make us fokes look like we wuz dogs." The above answers many cases charged to dark folks by cowardly curs and answered at random by an uneducated colored boy with no coaching whatsoever. 2 News columns give accounts of returned white soldiers in Council Bluffs, Iowa, doing volunteer police duty with shotguns. So said to put an end to a rape wave being carried on by Negroes against white girls and women. If there be any sincerity connected with their efforts, why is it that they did not go gunning for white brutes who put over the same outrages against their own people there not long ago. We also read of a street car man being held up by highwaymen about the same time those would-be heroes took the field and were patrolling the front lines. Wonder if they caught sight of the enmies artillery and scooted for safety in the dugouts? And as for the patriotism in their makeup, that's open to question. Had all been the braves they would have people believe them to be the government would have save itself much trouble and money by not being forced to pass the draft act and making too many cowards face the music. No man who really loves his country will ever be forced to defend it. The ones who quickly answered the call were the real heroes in this show down, not the exemption seekers, who had no fair grounds for their stand. Hated, yet loved: Such was the nation's sentiments and admiration towards the late lamented Col. Roosevelt. Day by day as time silently comes and steals away, we feel more and more that something in our midst is missing. Yea, I say unto you, never was the old republic more in need of an able leader. One whom the people loved, trusted and stood ever ready to follow. We stand on the brink of a crisis. Whom shall we trail behind? President Wilson would lead us—— to despair, but we see the breakers ahead and refuse to budge. The senate has some able men. Statesmen more learned in international politics and policies than the Hon. Woodrow; still we cannot warm ourselves up to them. What shall we do? Where shall we end? Where shall we look? Oh, give us back the soul that fled from Oyster Bay and the fading flag would rise at ease again. We miss him; ah, we miss him—the sage of Oyster Bay. Oh pity, what a pity he could no longer stay. To see the old boat landed safe from the choppy seas. Know God almighty housed him with saints of his ideas. THE MONITOR PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS I have told of how men long before our time and even until a few centuries ago became giants of health and strength, now I will endeavor to relate the secret of power and longevity. The food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe have a tremendous influence on life. You know that if a farmer expects to raise a good crop he begins by preparing the soil. After which he plants his seed; always careful that the plants are well watered and receive a proper amount of light and air. With such attention his crops are sure to prosper and reward him with a good yield. If we wish to reward our lives with health and old age it is essential that we give to our bodies even more attention than the farmer gives to his land, as the requirements of the human system are so filled with small details that no matter, how apparently insignificant, they should not be overlooked. We will begin our care of the main organ of our make up, the stomach. It is the engine room of the plant. The moment that machine goes wrong we become ill. A good stomach insures a healthy body and a sound mind. We have all been to mills and factories and watched the great wheels and rods moving in perfect unison with precise regularity year after year. The moment the action stops of itself the enginemen know that something is amiss. We may liken our stomach to the engine room with all its machinery for it is just that; it is the dynamo of our human mills. When the stomach goes wrong, the machines fail to carry out their proper functions, and we are very readily appraised of the situation. To undertake to regulate the affairs of distant peoples, whom few of us know or have any direct care or interest in and vice versa? And at the same time neglect that which needs careful and immediate attention because it is in our every day life and right in our homes? It is the germ of a cancer that sooner or later, if allowed to develop, will surely affect the entire body. But by all the laws of reason we cannot understand how any man can who is fifteen-sixteenths white, still be black. Any person saying so is a detestable idiot? For the federal government to cowardly permit the bulldozing south to trample under foot the constitution under the pretense of state's rights beings supreme to U. S. law, when the subject happens to concern Colored people? To assume that any people will endure forever a condition equal to that of the Israelites, who threw off the yoke of Egypt? To condemn a nation because of the misgivings of a few who were reared midst crime and ignorance? To obscure from any particular being the light which God endowed for all? To invoke the wrath of heaven on a sinner before you have washed away your own? ING WITH SPINNING WHEEL Poteau, Okla., Sept. 24.—Although various schemes have been put into operation to reduce the high cost of living, it remained for Nora Cooper, a colored woman of this city to bring forward an industry that flourished 100 years ago. She has taken quarters in an old school, where she has installed an old-fashioned spinning wheel that is said to be more than 100 years old. She spins her own threads from raw cotton and cards and weaves it upon the looms into cloth. The machine can turn out ten yards of material a day. Mrs. Cooper is a southern born woman and intends disposing of her cloth products at prices that make the present tariffs on cloth look sick.
