Honoring the "Dead Lion"---The Roosevelt Memorial GROWING. THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a C Honoring LYNCHERS OF WI INDICTED First Returns by Jurors Include True Bills Against Eight Men—Seven Whites Who Formed Part of Mob that Lynched Brown, Assaulted Mayor Smith and Burned Court House on September 28th Face Murder and Arson Charges—Lester Price, Colored, Held on Charge of Carrying Concealed Weapons—Bills Against Other Rioters to Follow. FIRST indictments against persons accused of rioting in the mob of September 28th, which lynched Will Brown, attempted to hang Mayor Smith and burned the courthouse, were returned shortly after noon Tuesday by the special grand jury. Three counts were contained in the indictment by the grand jury charging Harry Jenkins, alias Burton Perry Jenkins, and James Shields, with responsibility for the death of Will Brown, Negro who was lynched September 28. The counts include: 1, Murder with revolvers; 2, hanging; 3, striking, beating, bruising, wounding, shooting, choking, strangling and suffocating the said Will Brown. The indictment charging James Shields, Sam Novak and Harry Jenkins with conspiracy to commit murder is cited that these men armed themselves with guns, pistols, revolvers, ropes, stones and other weapons and with assembling in and about the court house and did then and there besiege, attack, set fire to and break and enter, and by words and acts did then and there abet, invite, incite, induce, coerce and compel others to do the same acts. It is further alleged that these men broke into the courthouse to get possession of Will Brown, that they shot at the courthouse and at persons within it. These acts form the conspiracy in which they are alleged to have participated. Harry Jenkins, alias Burton Perry Jenkins, and parties at this time to the grand juries unknown. And the said James Shields, Sam Novak an Harry Jenkins, alias Burton Perry Jenkins, and parties to grand juries unknown, are alleged to have then and there, beaten, bruised, mutilated and shot at said William Brown. All of these men indicted are now in jail. Boy Rider Indicted William Francis, 16, schoolboy, against whom an indictment was returned, became known as the "boy of the horse" in the rioting. He first appeared on his horse shortly after the crowd started gathering at county courthouse. Mounted on gray horse he directed, it is seen movements of one element of the crowd. He was several times ordered away, said policemen. Invariably he came back, always riding his horse. After the north doors of the courthouse were broken down and after the crowd had several times been chased from the building by the fire of policemen, Francis appeared in the crowd mounted on his horse. When he rode his horse into the building there was a large following behind him, several hanging onto the horse's tail. Accused of Firing Courthouse On one indictment Shields, Novak and Jenkins are charged with having set fire to the courthouse, with breaking and entering the building and with inciting others to follow their example. Shields, in a separate indictment, is charged with having set fire to the building and causing a loss estimated by the jury at $1,500,000. The jury, in its return of a third indictment, charges Harry Jenkins and James Shields with having placed a rope about the neck of the Negro, Will Brown, causing him to be hung to a street railway pole, and then firing bullets from revolvers and other guns into his body. Death was instantaneous, according to the indictment. George Sutej is charged with having assaulted Policeman Robert P. Samardick, and the Sutej brothers are charged with having urged the mob at the courthouse on to its work of destruction. Witnesses, in the majority of the cases where indictments already have been returned, are policemen. In no instance are more than four citizens listed as witnesses. In no instance ```markdown ``` THE MONITOR are less than five witnesses listed in each indictment. The grand jury probably will make no more returns until late in the week. The jury went into session again at 1 p. m. Tuesday to consider evidence against men now in jail. All men against whom true bills were returned have been in jail, the majority of them having been arrested the day following the night of rioting. "I asked the grand jury to make a partial return today, if possible," said County Attorney Shotwell, "in order that men now held in jail may be given an opportunity to give bail for their appearance for trial and in the meantime be allowed their freedom." No bonds have been set in any of the cases. Negro Charged With Carrying Concealed Weapons Lester Price, Negro, is charged with carrying weapons without being given proper authority and not being a proper person to have firearms in his possession. Mayor's Assailants Not Indicted No indictments have been returned against any person who is alleged to have had any hand in the attempted hanging of Mayor Smith. It is understood the grand jury has evidence against persons said to have been in part of the rioting, but that these indictments probably will not be returned until the latter part of the week. GEORGIA MOB AGAIN TAKES LAW INTO ITS OWN HANDS Country Treated to Another Exhibi tion of Lawlessness. (By Associated Negro Press.) MACON, GA., Oct. 21.—No further outbreaks in Jasper county, where Eugene Hamilton, a Negro, was lynched early yesterday, was expected today, all reports agreeing that the sixty or more masked men who shot the Negro had separated and gone to their homes. Hamilton, thirty years old, the son of a Negro preacher, had been convicted and given a sentence of ten years for an attempt on the life of Charles Tingle, a Jasper county farmer. While an appeal for a new trial was pending, mob spirit flamed up because of an alleged delay in disposing of the case and it was decided to bring him to Macon for safekeeping. The Negro was taken from the sheriff just before he reached here, carried back to Jasper county tied to a bridge and his body riddled with bullets. Tingle was shot in the back with a shot gun, but was not fatally injured. WHITE SOLDIERS EN- DEAVOR TO START RIOT Menace Group of Colored People, Who Hold Own Until Help Arrives—Prompt Action of City and Military Police Prevent Repetition of Recent Race Riots Elsewhere. BALTIMORE, Oct. 21.—Seven hundred soldiers in uniform with sticks and stones endeavored to start a riot around Eastern Avenue and Spring street recently, and but for the timely interference of the city and military police, a repetition of recent race riots in other cities might have occurred. The trouble started late at night, when four soldiers menaced a group of colored people. The colored people were active in defending themselves and held their own until the arrival of the police. $100,000 DRIVE TO RESTORE DINKIN MEMORIAL CHAPEL BIRMINGHAM, Ala.,Oct. 22—Plans for the launching of a $100,000 drive of the colored Baptists of Alabama to raise funds for the Dinkins Memorial Chapel which was destroyed by fire some time ago, and for some improvements to Selma university, have been made. The campaign is under the direction of W. A. Tutt and will occur during the week of October 16.

"I am heartily in favor of a me- NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—William Boyce Thompson, president of the Roosevelt Memorial association, has received tributes to Theodore Roosevelt from Mrs. August Belmont (Eleanor Robson Belmont), Irwin R. Kirkwood, publisher of the Kansas Kansas City Star, to which newspaper the colonel was a contributor; William Wrigley, Jr., of Chicago; Medill McCormick, United States senator from Illinois; William S. Hart, the moving picture star; the Rev. Dr. Samuel Schulman, rabbi of Temple Beth-El in New York City, and John S. Cravens of Los Angeles, Cal. These tributes are as follows: "It seems to me that first and foremost Theodore Roosevelt was a great American in the best sense of the phrase; a capable and courageous fighter; an adventurer in thought and action, as eagerly hunting big ideas in the minds of men as he sought big game in the jungle. Generous in praise of others and fearless in competition with them, whether that competition took him into the field of sport or world affairs. "Democratic in his friendships but beyond that he was deeply interested in and loved humanity, and humanity loved him in return. Take him all in all, we shall not look upon his like again.—Eleanor Robson Belmont." "Whenever I think of Theodore Roosevelt one incident stands out in my memory. I met him just after the report of Quentin's death had been confirmed. It was a terrible blow. But the whole tenor of his conversation was: 'We mustn't talk about it. We mustn't think about it. The only thing to think about now is the country. What can be done to speed up the war?'" "The picture of this heart-broken father, putting his private grief behind him to consider what should be done for the nation, will always stay with me. "One thing I believe the proposed memorial will help keep before the American people. It is the ideal of supreme devotion to the country that forever will be associated with the name of Roosevelt.—Irwin R. Kirk- wood." "I am heartily in favor of a memorial to our greatest American—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, not only because his works while alive entitle him to the very best the citizens of this country can give him in the way of a memorial, but for the good influence such a memorial would have in perpetuating the ideals that he fought so strenuously for.—William Wrigley, Jr." "I cannot yet think of Theodore Roosevelt without bitterness, that he, who so loved his country and who gave it his all should have been so maligned and during these last years should have been so meanly treated by those who might have mustered his great powers to the service of the war. But it was Roosevelt's fate, as it was Washington's and Lincoln's, to be fought by envious enemies and by them to be held in derision and contempt. He was truly simple. He was as generous, gentle, affectionate and open minded, as he was constant, strong willed, courageous, high tempered and violent of speech. "He had a revulsion, instantaneous and communicable to all who were about him, against the petty and shabby vices of mankind. He hated the more rugged sins, as do all good men, but he utterly loathed hypocrisy, sloth, cowardice and equivocation. It was this in him which made him the greatest moral power in the country. He was himself the essence of our common paradox, the buoyancy and puritanism of America. He recalled to us what lay covered, embedded in our hearts—our love for the simple virtues which had made our fathers great. In spite of the materialism which attended the exploitation of a virgin continent, the growth of ugly cities, the development of vast industries; in spite of the shabby exploitation of the immigrants who crowded to our shores; in spite of the crass admiration in which the last generation beheld their sudden millionaires, America cherished its traditions. Roosevelt spoke for those traditions and the country heard, as it were, a familiar voice long silent. "He was the prophet of the old public morality, to which he brought back Vol. V.

Attended by Delegates from Several States Who Consider Industry Problems and Opportunities of Race—Optimistic Note Dominant Throughout Session—Notable Social Workers of Both Races Attend. (Special to The Monitor by the Editor DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 23.—This wide-awake, progressive city, fast becoming one of the great manufacturing and industrial centers of the world, has gotten the habit of entertaining conventions and representative gatherings of all sorts. Two gatherings of especial interest to our people, one concluded, the other to end this week, and of far-reaching influence are the General Convention of the Episcopal Church and the Annual Conference of the National Urban League. The General Convention The General Convention, among other things, is vitally interested in pushing aggressively a far-reaching evangelistic, educational and sociological campaign among Negroes in the United States, Haiti and Liberia; and in furtherance of this recommending a budget of something over $2,500,000. This, of course, is interesting information. The election of a bishop of Liberia is another important event. So it will be readily understood that these are matters in which all our people are more or less interested. This convention opened with an impressive service in St. Paul's cathedral Wednesday morning, October 8, and is scheduled to close this week. In the long line of prelates were Bishops Demby of Arkansas and Delaney of North Carolina. These two bishops, with Archdeacon Russell, principal of St. Paul's Normal and Industrial school, of Lawrenceville, Va., and the Rev. Dr. N. H. B. Cassell, president of Liberia college and clerical deputy from Liberia, have been much in demand as speakers and have everywhere made a most favorable impression. High Spiritual Love The convention has been marked throughout by a high spiritual tone. In the house of deputies which is composed of both clerical and lay deputies or delegates the laymen have taken the most advanced ground for enlarged work by the Episcopal church in pushing to the limit the activities of this great communion so that its influence upon the Christian life of America may be in some degree commensurate with its historic claims and opportunities. One clerical deputy was overheard to remark: "It looks like the Episcopal church has become 'converted,' as some folks say." Bishops Open Doors A notable feature of this session of the General Convention is the fact that the House of Bishops which has always hitherto sat with closed doors, has thrown open its sessions to the public. It reserves the right, however, to sit in executive session whenever it is deemed desirable. The Detroit General Convention of the Episcopal Church will go down into history as epocal. The Urban League Probably of more immediate interest to our people has been the conference of the National Urban League for Work Among Negroes which concluded its sessions here Saturday afternoon. The conference opened Wednesday morning, October 15. Delegates from several states were in attendance. Among the national officers present: L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman, of New York City; John T. Emlen, of Philadelphia, vice chairman; Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago; Mrs. Henry G. Leach of Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth Walton of New York; Eugene Kincle Jones, executive secretary, and Henry G. Stevens. The morning and afternoon sessions were held in the lecture room of the Ginsberg library and the evening sessions. at Bethel Methodist church and the Second Baptist church. Large audiences were present at all LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! the meetings and especially the night sessions. Live Subjects Discussed Among the subjects discussed were: "The Negro's Industrial Opportunity," "Recreation and the Worker," "Health of the Worker," "Housing of the Worker," "Training for More Skilled Work," "Organization of Negro Workers," "Community Program for Industrial Efficiency" and "A National Industrial Program." The general subject of which these were some of the subdivisions was "Industrial Problems of the Negro." Some of the chief speakers were Miss Elizabeth Walton, chairman New York Urban league; Eugene K. Jones, W. T. B. Williams of Tuskegee, supervisor of the Jeanne and Slater funds; Dean William Pickens of Morgan college; Walter A. May, president Pittsburgh Urban league; Miss Josephine Pinyon, New York; Dr. George E. Haynes, J. G. Lemon of Savannah; Dr. W. N. DeBerry of Springfield, Mass.; Miss Eva D. Bowles and Miss Mary McDowell, head University of Chicago settlement. The note struck by all the speakers stressed again and again throughout the conference was industrial preparedness and efficiency to take advantage of the present industrial opportunity. The conference fully demonstrated the fact that thoughtful, earnest, well-trained men and women of both races, for both were in attendance and took part upon the program—are fully alive to the Negro's industrial opportunities and needs. SAGAMORE HILL A PILGRIMAGE CENTER Funds Will be Used to Save This Place as National Park. NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—William Boyce Thompson, president of the Roosevelt Memorial association, on October 18th gave out the following statement from Charles E. Hughes, former governor of New York and ex-associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, who is an honorary president of the association: "I have a great desire that in all that is done memorializing Colonel Roosevelt, that there should be constantly impressed upon the succeeding generations of America, the habit of thought and the ideals of that man as he actually was and walked among us. If there is anything that has rescued Washington from the mists of an impossible legendary character, and brought him to us and enabled us in some way to reconstruct his life, it is Mount Vernon and the picture of the conditions amid which he actually lived. And in a future day, I have no doubt there will be pilgrimages to Sagamore Hill in equal number with those that are made to Mount Vernon, and in that community there may be gathered various articles which will illustrate his activities, and there will be continued the atmosphere of his home, and the place where he lives among his neighbors, and in his hours of retirement after his public services. "But after all, we have this to consider. You can never perpetuate memory by monuments; those whose memory will ever abide, need no monuments. Nothing can be done in the way of tributes to the great; they abide because they are great, they abide because there is something in their influence which humanity needs. "There is an instinct in humanity which goes out after the food of the soul, just as there is an instinct in the animal to go out after its natural food, and those who have really served, those who have enlarged our conception of what the human mind is capable of, those who have really touched the hearts of the masses and made the people feel that here is a great man, kin to all—those can never die; and I believe that Theodore Roosevelt is one of those abiding personalities. "The invested capital of American democracy consists in the memory of her great leaders and servants, and among those we put in the foremost rank our old friend, Theodore Roosevelt."

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—The vanguard of the host of Italians who sailed with their families and their savings for their native land as speedily as possible after the armistice was signed returned to New York last week, on the steamship Dante Alighieri. There were 800 of them, all traveling steerage, and they prophesied that their disappointed countrymen would fill westbound ships for months to come. Turbulent Italy, they declared, has no place today for thrifty sons returning from foreign shores. Food, rent, clothes and fuel are at prohibitive prices, they said, and profiteers throng on every side to pounce upon the unwary. This news item might equally well have applied to any one of the southern nations of Europe from which our immigrants have come for the past decade. It points to a sinister menace that is becoming clearer to those Americans who have eyes to see. It means that Americanization, as applied to many of our foreign-born citizens, is a flat failure. Aside from the fact that less than ten per cent of these same immigrants even go through the form of taking our citizenship papers, aside from the fact that more than one-half of the workmen in our fundamental industries, iron, steel and coal, are foreigners, there remains the bitter truth that we have a huge and undigested alien population within our boundaries, which has come here for what there is in it, and is interested only in what it can get out of our country, and eager to return to home lands with its earnings at the first possible moment. Theodore Roosevelt said, "Unless we are thorough-going Americans and unless our patriotism is part of the very fibre of our being, we can neither serve God nor take our own part. Whatever may be the case in an infinitely remote future, at present no people can render any service to humanity useless as a people they feel an intense sense of national cohesion and solidarity. The man who loves other nations as much as he does his own, stands on a par with the man who loves other women as much as he does his own wife. The United States can accomplish little for mankind, save in so far as within its borders it develops an intense spirit of Americanism." It is our own fault that we take small pains to teach the immigrant what America means, and what are the ideals upon which this country has grown great; it is our fault that we let him remain dependent upon a foreign language press that, with rare exceptions, is interested only in the news of the race. It is doubly our fault that we permit him to live here without the possibility of sympathy with and understanding of our country, without the fellowship of Americans. Beyond and above and below any other need is the need for the immigrant to learn the language of the land of his adoption. Until he can speak and read English he is helpless. Until he knows the language of the Declaration of Independence, he is a menace. One of the priceless legacies left us by Theodore Roosevelt was his clear vision and powerful words on this problem. He knew; and we can do well to remember what he said. LETTER FROM COLONEL HOUSE "Commissioner Plentipotentiary of the United States of America. Paris, September 23, 1919. "Dear Mr. Thompson: "I consider it both a privilege and a pleasure to be associated even in a small way with the purposes of your organization. Theodore Roosevelt needs no memorial but coming generations should be constantly reminded of what he stood for in our public life. When he died, a great virile, wholesome figure disappeared from amongst us. Roosevelts do not belong to many generations. Let us be thankful that he belonged to ours. Sincerely yours, (Signed) E. M. HOUSE." McKELVIE NAMES OCTOBER 27 AMERICANIZATION DAY Proclamation by Our Governor The progress that our country has made as a nation has been greatest during those periods when the people made the least departure from the true principles of Americanism. And today I think the greatest danger lies in a tendency on the part of some to confuse the principles of the republic with those of other less desirable forms of government. So, in these times of confusion and uncertainty and unrest, it is important that we should seek to restore normal conditions through a full understanding and a conscientious application of the "Famous for Blouses" Julius Orkin 1508-1510 Douglas St. OMAHA The republic has produced many great statesmen. It could not be otherwise, for the requirements of this form of government are such that success can only be wrought through the development of virile, sane, clear-thinking men, who are able to comprehend the great problems of the times. Among these, Theodore Roosevelt stands out most prominently. He was the type of true American who, with a clear vision of the purposes on the republic, repeatedly called the people back to an understanding of the dangers that lurk in departures from the purposes of the fundamental law that was written by the fathers. Unfortunate it is that we have not the benefits of his wise counsel today, but we have in its stead the memory of his unflagging courage and his determination of American purposes, to guide us and stimulate our patriotic impulses and efforts. Therefore, in order that we may properly respect the name of this great American, and, through a study of his life, instill in the minds of the people a new appreciation of the meaning of true Americanism, I hereby designate October 27th, which is the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt, Americanization Day, to be observed throughout this state and by all the people. SAMUEL R. McKELVIE, Governor. TRIBUTES TO THE GREAT AMERICAN our public life. It was he, in our time, who first effectively asserted the dominion of the commonwealth over all private power. And when at last he spoke for social justice, he was the first public man in America to blaze the way along which we all now know we must go.—Medill McCormick." "He was of the West—he was an American. "He was for America first, last and all the time. "He was a hard hitting, free thinking fighter for truth and upright dealing. "He was an American.—William S. Hart." "When a great man dies, the whole people feels bereaved. The stream of pilgrims, which has been flowing to the grave in which lie the earthly remains that once held the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt, is the unique and at the same time, symbolic expression of the love which is flowing in spirit, from the whole American people, to his memory. He was closer to the hearts of the people than any leader of his time. No American, since Lincoln, has been such an exponent of the genius of America. "Down deep in their hearts, all Americans love him. He stands out, head and shoulders above all his contemporaries, by his marvelous versatility, and therefore, by his broad humanity. As reformer, as statesman, as soldier, as leader in the awakening of the social conscience of the country, as student and writer, as scientist, traveler and explorer, as the fearless and aggressive exemplar of the strenuous life, and lastly, as the great patriot, who was anxious to fight for his country, and the opportunity having been refused him, showed the nation how a father, with holy joy, could dedicate all his sons to his beloved land, Roosevelt stood out in American life, as the man of most varied interests, of the widest and most catholic sympathies and the most intense Americanism. "He loved righteousness, he loved America, he loved mankind. He in tensely loved life. And as the roo of all these loves, was his love of nature. He is immortal. He is deathlessly enshrined in the heart America. It should be a holy privilege and a joyous duty for all Americans to contribute to a memorial which shall assure the continued influence of this great and beloved man in the life of the nation.—Samuel Schulman." "It appears to me that the great value of the Roosevelt memorial campaign lies in the fact that it will call to the mind of those who are contributing and of the public at large, the qualities of courage and individual resource which so distinguished Theodore Roosevelt. It is this doctrine, as opposed to paternalism, which seems to me must ultimately prove the sal- Women's and Misses' Apparel Exclusively principles of the republic. Blouses" Ilius Orkis 08-1510 Douglas St OMA vation of all democratic institutions. "There has been too great a tendency among the public to believe that somehow, in some way, the government can bear all its burdens and solve all its problems. The truth is that the government will be just what the people, by their constructive wish, demand that it should be . Therefore, the nature of the government will depend upon the degree to which self reliance and determination are the controlling instincts of the people themselves. "When one sees or reads of the Washington monument the mind unconsciously reverts to his life and character. In like manner a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt will, when it is seen, direct the attention of the observer to the character and life of Roosevelt himself, and will thus be a subtle but nevertheless powerful influence which will tend to strengthen those characteristics which will mean so much to the betterment and permanence of our republican institutions—John S. Cravens." DISSATISFACTION VOICED AT LABOR CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Oct. 23—In the labor congress in progress this city, many complaints are coming from various groups.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 22.—Mrs. Isaac Shipiro (white) of this city recently rented a home in the 1100 block on Sharp street to colored tenants. The house was locked for the night, the furniture being left on the lower floor, while the family was moving in. On entering the house in the morning it was discovered that the floor was wrecked, the walls and plumbing fixtures destroyed, the furniture which was moved in was taken out of the house, the bathroom fixtures were moved to the roof and debris was scattered all over the first floor. The neighborhood has very few colored families in it. Monitor subscription contest closes Saturday, November 15. Get busy if your church is going to earn that $100.

For the woman who likes ex- treme styles a number of fitted models are being brought out. One of the newest is called the “redingote” be- cause it is really cut much on the same general style line as the redin- gote dress, with fitted bodice section and long skirt of peplum, usually cut away in front so that a front panel of the skirt or dress over which it is worn may be seen, Another novelty is the square cut short coat with loose panel back, col- lar and cuffs of fur contrasting with that used forthe coat proper. Collars, especially when made of a different fur from that used for the coat, are usually enormous affairs, really large enough to qualify as small separate capes. ‘The smart little neckpiece of one or two skins sold in the spring will not be discarded immediately by Dame Fashion, and the woman who owns one may wear it with perfect serenity right through the autumn days as an ac- companiment for her tailored street frock or untrimmed tailored suit. Mink, marten and sable were the most used pelts for these smart little neck- pleces. They were shown made of one, two or three skins, the smaller ones being little more than choker collars. Full length fur coats are shown, but by far the smartest models are those that are hip or three-quarter length, except, of course, when designed for evening wear. For general wear the full length coat is heavy, and a short model is not only less expensive but gives all the protection required.

In the early days the Portu- guese literally “raised cane” on the islands, and established a large sugar trade with England- and other coun- tries, Tobacco and fruits were also produced in great quantities, but, with the discovery and settlement of Brazil and other South American countries, Portugal rather discouraged produc~ tion in the Azores in order to ald her colonies in South America. With the sugar and tobacco trade snatched from them, the Azoreans began the cultiva- tion of the vine. and the making cf wine and other liquors became one of the chief industries of the Islands. The population consists mainly of Portuguese, Moorish, and Flemish set tlers, with a few negroes and a fair sprinkling of English settlers, Novel Apartment Building. ‘A San Francisco woman realty oper- ator has planned a novel building. Her idea fs to utilize @ steep bluff 350 fect high. On it she proposes to erect a series of apartments running In stalr- step fashion from the street down to the water of San Francisco bay. It Is proposed to have each apart- ment equipped with Its own elevator entrance, pergola and roof garden, with a glass-covered inclined elevator connecting all with the private wharf for fishing and boating. Other fea- tures projected are a specially warmed sea-water bathing tank and glass in- closed and a heated playground for children on the beach, Steam heat, hot water, laundry, garage. billiard, elub and ball rooms are to be provided as matters of course, The site com- mands # fine view of the Golden Gate and the sea outside, according to the prospectus, and it Is said the apart: ments, which will rent at a prohibitive (for most of us) price, are already under lease, even before the building has been started.—Kansas City Star.

THE PARKMAN TRADERS AND COUNCIL DEMALIA THE AMERICANISM THEODORE ROOSEVELT SOME men live so that the mere appearance of their name in print quickens the heart with a glow of love and honor and appreciation and to hear their name is at once an inspiration and a benediction. Theodore Rosevelt—the greatest figure of the twentieth century—whose death was a blow that staggered the world and whose life and works and thoughts shall live as long as democracy finds a residence in any corner of the earth is such a name. Washington wrested a nation from England, Lincoln kept it a union and purged it of slavery and it is only Roosevelt Americanism, applied, that will save it from dissolution and make its commitment to world democracy a force and not a farce. Democracy to be effective abl- must be lived and practiced at home. One cannot teach another an art in which he himself is not skilled. The greatest art known to men is the art that teaches men to live with their fellows justly, wisely, honestly and fairly. The kind of government supplies the rules of the game and many have been the experiments men have tried. Surely if slowly all peoples and nations have died, that have not incorporated into the machinery of their government and into the practices of their daily contact equality of each unit of the aggregation in the chance for growth and expansion and the enjoyment of group life. They rose as far as their limitations would let them rise and then they fell. The last experiment in government to be tried, as men sought to vouch-safe to each individual a chance to reach the place in participation in group life individual qualification and merit should determine, was the experiment in democracy. And America is the land that is trying it. She has had many battles to fight with intrenched privileges. She has not seen many of her dangers until they almost rose up and choked her. Dedicated a democracy in theory, slavery flourished for centuries, peonage still lives. Class hate and class war and class prejudice goes on in the group life. Capital and labor are at swords points. Alien enemies sow sedition in her borders. Hyphenated foreigners are sustained by her resources but give their allegiance to the land of their birth. Millions of immigrants enrich themselves upon her but do not even pay her the courtesy of speaking her language. Millions of native born Americans are disfranchised, discriminated against on account of race or color or sex, forced to submit to a government that calls itself a democracy and yet does not rest upon the consent of the governed. And, America's salvation lies in her practice of the Americanism of this foremost American whom riches could not corrupt, nor power deter, whose simplicity and honor and integrity remained the same with king or peasant. Courageous as a lion and pitiless and just upon occasion his tenderness has yet become proverbial. Injustice, prejudice, tyranny, lawlessness, disloyalty, he fought as he fought wild beasts. Color nor creed nor class could keep him from his choice of kindred spirits nor prevent him from recognizing and honoring a man wherever he met one. We honor our heroes and we would raise memorials to them. A statue in Washington, a national park at Sagamore Hill, a chair of learning in our colleges are all fitting monuments to this great man. The thing that made Roosevelt great, however, was that he practiced the democracy that was his Americanism and America, practicing his Americanism that is democracy, will memorialize herself and him, forever.

OMAHA TAKES SECOND STEP IN VINDICATING HER HONOR NOBODY can ever forget the recent experience Omaha had with the cowardly wolf pack which overthrew temporarily the rule of law and order and substituted in its stead jungle rule and blood-lust. Nobody can ever forget Sunday night of September 28. That wild, turbulent ten hours when anarchy and passion and hate were in the ascendency and Will Brown, without trial, and without hearing, declaring his innocence until the last, was murdered by his fellows. Nobody will ever forget the brave heroic stand of our red-blooded Mayor Smith who was willing to give his life as a sacrifice to his oath of office and his determination that mob rule should not have sway in our fair city. Nobody will ever forget the clamor of the fire bells and the smoke and flames that arose over our $2,000,000 court house as the mad mob danced and shouted about the fire that it had set. No, nobody can ever forget those hours when savagery ruled, and Omaha was conquered. Those who read The Monitor will doubtless remember the editorials called "The Glory of the Conquered." A chastened and shamed Omaha took the first step in the vindication of her honor. She lost no time in arresting those suspected of murder and assault and arson. The names held for investigation ran into the hundreds, and real Omaha declared that the punishment of outraged justice should be swift and sure. The first step in the vindication of her honor had been taken—a grand jury sat in secret and the world waited to see what it would do. Law and democracy prayed for its allegiance to righteousness and cohesion and duty, and violence and anarchy desired it should cater to forces of evil dissolution and falsehood. The grand jury reports its first eight true bills. And the charges are murder and assault and arson. The jury continues to sit and sift evidence, and with this sample of how it is doing its duty we feel safe in saying that Omaha has taken her second step in the vindication of her honor. The third step is trial and conviction. If she fails not here she will have met and answered fully her testing time. Hers will indeed be the glory of an Americanism that is not a myth and institutions and government that are real and stable. Flashes of Most Anything THERE must be no division within our own ranks along the lines of creed or national origin; and any citizen of this country who uses his citizenship in the interest of some other country is a traitor to the United States. It is not merely our right, but our high duty, to insist on this fact.—Theodore Roosevelt. Character First WHEN we come to the great essentials—to the things that make in their aggregate the character of a good citizen—we come to the things which dwarf parties and classes into absolute insignificance.—Theodore Roosevelt. IF one set of our fellow citizens is degraded, you can be absolutely certain that the degradation will spread more or less to all of us. This government is founded on the theory that "all men up" is a safer motto than "some men down." We must make it good.—Theodore Roosevelt. God make my life a little staff Whereon the weak may rest, That so what health and strength I have May serve my neighbors best. THE MONITOR LEADING EDITORIALS OF THE DAY RUSSELL WARNS OF THE DANGER OF CONTINUING TO MAL-TREAT THE NEGRO RACE By Charles Edward Russell "The Negro did not run in Chicago," says he, "nor in Washington, and, in my judgment, he is not going to run anywhere." More riots have taken place since this article was written, as the author predicted. Astonishing scenes during the Chicago riots. The Catholic church almost if not quite alone, among "respectable" organizations, in standing up for the Negroes. DO we really and conscientiously desire to have in this country a suplusage of race riots? Do we truly relish the spectacle of a part of our citizenship hunting out with guns another part of our citizenship and shooting it down? Is the thought of street fighting dear to us? Because, if this is what we honestly wish we may be of good cheer; this is what we are practically certain to have if we continue to allow the relations of white and black in this country to drift along the present road to battle and murder. We will take, as an example, the city of Chicago. Lake Michigan's long, cool sandy shore line is a great summer asset to Chicagoans. In recent years the local authorities have developed bathing facilities of the lake shore and now on every hot day the beaches are thronged. Chicago has a large number of colored citizens. They enjoy swimming in cool lake water not less than the white citizens. White mobs fixed an imaginary line beyond which they decreed colored bathers should not go. On a Sunday afternoon a colored boy, amusing himself on a crude little raft of his own construction, drifted over this imaginary line. Immediately white hoodlums on the shore began to stone him. A policeman in uniform stood by and watched this sport without interfering with it. One of the stones knocked the boy from his little raft and he began to struggle and flounder in the water. The stones continued to fall around and upon him. Kind hearted white women begged the policeman to stop the stone-throwing that some one might go to the boy's rescue, for he was drowning before their eyes. The policeman refused to interfere, and the boy drowned. The long smouldering hatred between the two colors flamed up Whites and Negroes divided on the beach into opposing squads pelting one another with stones. With the swift flight that such news always has, the word went in a moment over the South Side, whites and Negroes appeared armed with revolvers, and for the next four days Chicago was in a state of wild and (for a modern civilized city) incredible anarchy. Bands of white men in automobiles tore up and down the streets shooting at every Negro they could spy. The Negroes kept largely to their own quarter, a kind of ghetto in the Second ward, to which they had been restricted for residence, but there they fought desperately and no white man was safe that showed himself in that region. The rioting spread to every part of the city. In the down town business region, in front of banks and great shop. Negroes going to their employment were surrounded. knocked down and beaten to death on the pavement. A monstrous insanity seemed to possess a part of the community. The mere sight of a dark-skinned face no matter how harmless or innocent the possessor might be, aroused a bodial, primitive instinct for slaughter. Three white men set upon and killed a Mexican merely because he had a swarthy complexion. For eight blocks along State street, in the so-called black belt, the Negroes stood in a practically solid line, armed and waiting for attack. Armed white men in automobiles attempted to rush this line and the discharge of small arms were like a battlefield. Other bands of white men invaded the Negro quarter on the flank and began to break into and loot the dwellings of colored persons. Next they began to burn such houses, shooting at the fleeing inhabitants. The police seemed unable to do anything with the situation. It was finally reduced to order by troops. Throughout the disturbances it was noted that the Negroes did not run. They were expected to run, but they did not. They stood and fought, often with an astonishingly cool and desperate courage. The total casualties on both sides were more than 600, of which 37 were deaths from gunshot wounds. The troops extinguished the flames but not the embers. It was evident at the end of August, a whole month after the first outbreak, that a little wind would fan the coals to blaze again. How can such things happen in a country of law and order, in communities given to professions of Christianity and civilization? It is customary to greet this question with a shrug, to charge the disturbances to the hoodlums of both colors, and thus to forget it all while we go comfortably about our business and our profits. Hoodlums, only hoodlums. But in this instance the hoodlums on the white side included some of the best and most respected citizens of Chicago and the true source of the rioting went back to underlying causes that exist in every other important city and will sooner or later produce there the like terrible results. Five years ago the colored population of Chicago was 65,000. Today it is 125,000. The increase has been brought about largely by employers looking for cheap labor and deprived of their usual foreign supply because of the war. These employers have flooded the south with circulars luring Negro workers to the north, where they were promised fair treatment, no jim crowing and no lynching. Before this migration began the Negro quarter of Chicago was overcrowded. The newcomers must find shelter. They inevitably and without any will of their own enlarged the boundaries of the black belt. As it spread, white property owners, real estate speculators and real estate brokers became panic stricken. The Negro was universally believed to lower, wherever he went, the price of adjoining property. A lot that a man had bought for $2,500 and was holding to sell for $3,000 if he could find a good simple-minded sucker, would now be worth no more than $2,400 if a Negro came to live in the next block, and of course no man could be expected to endure an outrage like that. "Bombing Expeditions" There interests therefore began to form property owners' protective associations in the regions threatened with Negro invastions. Such associations were invariably composed of the best people in the neighborhood, the well-to-do and the respectable. At their meetings they denounced the Negro as the noisome reptile of the world. If every Negro had been a blood-stained, stealthy and ruthless assassin the race could have deserved nothing worse than was here said of it. A long needed colored hospital was projected in one part of the city. The enraged property owners tried to prevent it with injunctions. When these failed the tone of their meetings became far more violent. "We have only ourselves to depend upon," it was said. "The courts and the zuthorities will give us no help against this inroad." At one property owners' meeting a man was brought in from another part of the city where a threatened Negro invasion had been averted. "It is not necessary to have any trouble about these things," he said. "We had none. We had one colored family move in, one move out and one bombing expedition." "Bombing expeditions" had alread become familiar. Houses occupied by Negro families outside of the black belt, even a short distance outside it, were shaken at night with mysterious explosions of dynamite. Nineteen of these outrages occurred in few weeks. For them all only o arrest was ever made and this has far been fruitless. Even when warnings had been sent that a certain house would be bombed within a certain period if the inhabitants did not move out and the police were duly notified of what impended the bomb took place under their very noses. In these conditions, naturally, it entire colored population began feel that it was the helpless victim of a huge conspiracy and that the law had no protection for any man with a dark skin. So late as the end of August there were hundreds of colored families in Chicago wherein someone stayed awake and on guard all night expecting the attack of which anonymous letters had warned them. The police, often notified of these letters, took no interest in them and offered no help. Packers Import Negroes Packers Import Negroes Chief among the importers of cheap colored labor from the south had been the packing houses. So long as the war lasted the demand for labor was good, but with peace the packing business slackened and the houses generally followed the practice of discharging the higher-priced white labor and retaining the lower-waged Negroes. This of course incensed the discharged white laborers against the Negroes that were still in possession of jobs. Everything, therefore, was ripe for trouble. The property owners and others had spread among the white population the notion that the blacks were a pest to be exterminated and the blacks had become convinced that they had no rights a white man could be induced to respect. When the clash came the efforts of the authorities seemed bent toward suppressing the blacks as if they were the only rioters. Three hundred policemen were gathered at Thirty-first and State streets, the heart of the black belt. Three blocks away a band of white men was seizing Negroes, beating them to death, firing into their houses. Three policemen stood by and watched all this without interfering. Nay, I have name and number of a police- (Continued on Page 8.) Dental Hygiene and Care of the Teeth By Dr. W. W.

Having been fortunate enough to see much of France, and having grown to love it and its human kind people, this surely is a great pleasure rather than a task; and yet it must be borne mind that the writer agreed to contribute a series of articles on Care of the Teeth," and there being very little in common between the two subjects, he was at a loss how to proceed until with the editor's consent and advice he has decided to give what has been asked, with the full intention to soon return to the original subject matter. Hence, I have given France as the subject of this short discourse. Surely this moment is a very appropriate one for such a talk, for in this morning's mail a letter from one of my former associates in our work in France, enclosing a rather lengthy clipping from the New York Herald has brought very pleasant recollections to me, the Princess DeRedelloc of France, a woman of great intellect and means, with her estimable young granddaughter, Mademoiselle Marie Antoinette, states the article, have arrived in New York and are spending some time with the Port's at their summer home, Bayside, L.

FRANCE. well I remember this rather remarkable woman, and I write of her now; for in my long stay overseas, she truly represents in my opinion the spirit and ideals of the average French man and woman. In their wonderful castle at Brest, furnished with very antique tapestries, furniture, and china, each room presents a museum in itself. The wonderful gardens situated on a high hill overlooking the bay was a favorite resting place for me. Here I have often met the Countess and many interesting moments I have spent with her. Every courtesy and kindness was always shown to the Americans, an although there were those who endeavored to poison her mind again. the Colored boys or the Americans Noire as the French styled them, n progress was made and I have he say that France could not understand the democracy of America. Where such loyal and intelligent people were mistreated because of co and too, how very vividly come mind the statement of a high officer in the French navy, who very fluently informed me, while a guest of the Commercial Club at Brest, that France resented very greatly the attempt of white Americans to inject their prejudices into the minds of French people, who had from experience learned to respect and admire the colored American soldier far more than the white, because of the superior character displayed by them while among them. Continuing, he stated, France is in need of help and she looks to America for that assistance, and at this time she cannot afford to offend her, but there will come a time when the just nations of the world will call her to time for her lying bleating of hypocritical democracy. These are just a few of the sentiments expressed by discerning Frenchmen. Colored people have a right to be proud of the conduct of their boys who served in France. In battle, in work and in play, they displayed a heroism, an energy and gentleness that soon won them the good will of these people, and who knows but that France some day will call the attention to the barbarities of America, as America called the attention of other nations to the savagery of the Belgians in the Congo. race adjustment and particularly the housing conditions has become one of the features of the campaign.

A. Marks, returned yesterday on 41 from Douglas, where they won state championship in judging domestic animals. The championship was won with a margin of 71 degrees, Fremont county having a score of 1,470 and Sheridan with 1,541. The team has given many demonstrations in the county, and their work has been warmly praised by numerous ranchers and stock-growers who frankly admitted that the boys had given them new ideas, and as a result they would be better able in the future to judge their herds of livestock, eliminating the poorer and scrubby animals and retaining those of a higher quality. Plans are for the boys to leave in December for the Chicago International Stock Exposition, where they will compete with the champion teams of the other states for national championship. Expectations are to secure the necessary funds for the trip through the Wyoming cattle and sheep growers organizations. A large percentage of the praise for the success of the stock judging and canning teams in each winning the state championship is due to the efforts of County Club Leader L. A. Marks who has worked all summer training the boys and girls for the club. Professor J. J. Marshall, local club leader assisted in the training of the members of the Canning club.

And there are other creatures who always live under ground who have their homes there. “Fancy living under ground when there is the whole sky for them to live in.

It ts the gateway to the mission cemetery.
