Elaborate Inauguration Services and Exercises Mark Formal Induction of President of America's Great Educational Institution Into Office.

(Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13. The inauguration of James Stanley Durkee, A. M. Ph. D., as president of Howard university November 12, 1919, with special services at Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel at 10:30 o'clock, marked the beginning of a new era in the educational life of that institution, the importance of which will be of profound interest to colored people throughout the nation. The effects of the new administration promise to be far-reaching and widely felt. Following the elaborate exercises there was a luncheon for special guests.' The afternoon was spent by the visitors in inspecting the building and grounds of the institution, and in the evening a reception was given by President and Mrs. Durkee in honor of the delegates, alumni, members of the faculties of the university guests, etc., at the residence of the president. At 8 p. m. alumni night—exercises were held in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel which the delegates, public and friends attended in large numbers. Discuss Big Problems.

"Negro Education" was considered by Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, president of Delaware college; Dr J. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton institute, and Dean Pickins of Morgan college, Baltimore, Md. Archibald H. Grimke of Washington and Charles Edward Russell of New York City spoke on "Negro Citizenship." President Durke presided at the congress.

Addresses were made by Senator David Walsh of Massachusetts, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard, Dr. William Miller Collier, president of George Washington university; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse college; Representative Richard Olney of Massachusetts, and the Rev. William N. De Berry. A number of American institutions of learning and several foreign universities were represented, and several members of the diplomatic corps were present. Professor Webster Honored. Professor James C. Webster, instructor in physics at Howard university had the distinguished honor of representing the University of Pittsburgh (of which he is a graduate) at the inauguration of President Durkee of Howard. Professor Webster was designated for the distinguished serv- THE MONITOR ice by Chancellor Samuel Black McCormick, A. M., LL.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, who found it impossible to be present, and whose friendship and esteem was manifested in this signal manner. President Durkee's Inaugural Message Dr. Durkee's inaugural address was devoted to a discussion of American democracy which, as he stated, must rest upon Christian education. "Each uneducated citizen," he said, 'is a source of weakness. Therefore, Americans must insist that each individual have every opportunity and every help for self discovery and every aid in putting that discovery at the service of all the citizens of the state." A discussion of America's problems with a review of the Negro's relation as a part of the body politic. He urged a national educational program. Said he: "Has the time come for a commission of American great-hearts to formulate a national education program based upon such foundation? I believe it has! May I presume to put into definite proposition the possible findings of such a commission? "1. We propose a program of education which shall bring effectively within the reach, not only of every boy and girl, but also of every adult citizen, all the training, physical, mental and moral, literary, technical and scientific, of which he is capable. "2. Every citizen in America shall be taught to read and write and think in the English language." "3. Day schools and night schools shall be open at convenient places throughout America, that such places may acquire our language and be taught our ideals. "4. There shall be no discrimination in the teaching of the childhood of America, but all, irrespective of race, condition, creed, shall have equal opportunity under equally trained teachers, to discover the best that is in them. There shall be no division of the public money so as to perpetuate the differences of race, condition or creed. "5. Acquisition of knowledge shall be secondary to the moral growth of the individual. All subjects taught shall have for their purpose the development of Christian character, moral courage, energy, individual initiative, a keen sense of civic duty, and national responsibility." In concluding his address Dr. Durkee said: "The white race, as well as the colored race, must fight for a philosophy of education which will ever maintain the Creator above the thing created, whether it be God or man. But the colored race is still largely dependent upon the white race for ideals in education, for men and women to rightly interpret those ideals and for money with which to build up educational centers of power and influence. "We stole the Indian's lands and have been so paying him in money that the Indians of America are the richest in the world. We stole the Negro, not for his lands, and have been paying him for his weakness by keeping him, in many parts of our country, in ignorance, denying him all the good things of life we could and oppressing him by every means at the disposal of a dominant race. The Negro has not grown bitter, rebellious or disloyal under such treatment, but has struggled on, hoping and working for a better day when justice should be granted to him and every equality of opportunity. He has been weak and weakness is ever despised and exploited. He has now arrived at a stage of development where to be weak is a racial and national sin. Race consciousness has arrived and a sense of race solidarity is spreading through this one-third of the population of the world, more rapidly than through the white race. No longer can the white race meet the problem in prejudice or hatred or indifference. "The colored race asks of the white race money with which to make her educational centers powerful in righteousness. Howard university, founded by that Christian soldier and humanity lover, General O. O. Howard, who also founded sixty-nine other schools for the race—Howard university, the greatest school for colored people not only in America but in the world, asks humanity lovers, asks Indian philanthropists, asks men and women of great financial power and little financial power, for money with which to educate the leaders of this race of twelve millions of colored people. "Their program is announced. "They demand Christian education with no barriers to the highest OMAHA, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 20, 1919 reaches of culture and inspiration. (A careful study of conditions in portions of our land reveal educational crimes unspeakable.) "They demand the rights of American citizenship. (Make the standards as high as we should make them, then honor with the franchise, with jury right, with public office, with rights on public conveyances—in short with full American citizenship, all those whatever the race or color, who shall attain the standard set.) "They demand respect for their achievements, as we ask respect for our own. We must cease our sneering, our lying, our hypocrisy and we must give them the full rights of human achievement. "The race intuitively feels what it demands. It has not yet full power of self-direction. It is still suspicious, clannish, and sometimes draws the color line as quicklv as do the white race. But it has the misfortune of having its real ideas wrongly translated. It has somehow given the impression, or its enemies have built up the impression, that it wants social equality in the things of white society life, when it really asks for the right to develop itself to its own highest social possibilities and then choose its society along own ways and ideals. Cultured colored people are just as careful of their society as are white people. They want none in their homes who are not worthy, either colored or white. They wish to be in no homes where they are not wanted. Give them a fair field, an equal chance, impartial laws impartially enforced, the consideration granted to all by the world's Master, and all the rest may be safely left to that fine development which everywhere attracts to itself like souls of like culture and like destiny. "Now must the races of the world meet each other on a platform built by the noblest impulses and wisest souls of all races. The impulse coming from Japan, and calling for an International Scholastic League, is one of supreme prophecy. If 'God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwelt all the face of the earth,' then all nations must come to know and appreciate all that is best in each. No longer can ignorance, prejudice or hate rule in national capitals. The scholarly and Christian statesmen must blaze the path. "Fellow citizens, I am here not merely as president of this university, but as your servant to speak to our America of the rights, the hopes, the needs, and the demands of this great race. "My appeal is to the sense of fair play whichever characterizes the honest straight-out American, no matter in what section of the country found. "My appeal is to those educators and educated who everywhere fac ignorance with hostility and cry to those in bondage, 'Because I live, ye shall live also.' "My appeal is to the sons of those brave men of America who fought for liberty and union and left it as a heritage to worthy children. "My appeal is to those lovers of liberty and justice who themselves have suffered in gaining their rights or have those rights as a heritage from suffering parents. "My appeal is to the followers of the Christ of whatever name and creed, who have sworn allegiance to Him and strive to make His principles of life pregnant in the lives of men. "My appeal is to the white men of my land, who are too great to be mean and have paid too great a price for freedom to have its banner now trampled under foot by ignorant and unprincipled men. "My appeal is to the colored race, and especially to the alumni of Howard university, that with one united front, they demand of themselves, and of all others, the help with which to build this great institution into a position of new power and influence in the life of the race and the uplift of the world." That Howard university has won the good opinion of the ablest thinkers and of governmental and educational authorities of acknowledged influence and power was well attested by the large number of testimonials, letters and telegrams received which were read by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university. Men are never so ridiculous from the qualities which really belong to them as from those they pretend to possess. SENATOR HARRISON DEMO- SENATOR HARRISON DEMO. CRAT FROM MISSISSIPPI INTRODUCES BILL Would Issue Arms to States Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—A bill authorizing the war department to issue rifles, pistols and machine guns to the states for home guard defense was introduced by Senator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, who said the legislation was designed as part of a plan to protect communities against violence by radical elements. "Articles that have appeared in certain pamphlets and periodicals edited by unwise and radical Negro leaders and Bolshevists," said Senator Harrison, "are advocating such doctrines which might encourage the thoughtless elements to threaten the peace and safety of many people. "It is to guard against any attempt upon the part of these dangerous elements that law-abiding white people should take precautionary steps to protect themselves and their communities." GIVEN DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 12.—To receive a Distinguished Service Cross for a deed of heroism is a wonderful experience, but it cannot compare with the "delicious sensation" of being awarded one over a year after the act is committed. This is the opinion of Nicholas Rodgers, butler to Dr. Harry Friedenwald, 1029 Madison avenue, who has just received a Croix de Guerre for his bravery and heroism during the Champagne drive. Rodgers was a messenger in the American Expeditionary Force, carrying dispatches from headquarters to the officers at the front. It was on the very day on which his companions first went over the top that his captain was shot just as he was about to deliver a message to him. Rodgers rushed to his assistance, opened his collar so that he might get some relief, when a second bullet whizzed along, striking him in the back. With the assistance of three other men, Rodgers carried him under a heavy barrage back to a recreation hut, where first aid was administered. Then he went back into the thick of the fight. DR. TOMPKINS WINS WORDS OF COMMENDATION Conditions are Ident at Old City Hospital Under Race Physician and Efficient Staff of Internes and Nurses. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19.—"I never have any trouble with my internes or employees," Dr. William Tompkins, superintendent of the old city hospital, said yesterday; "I have nine internes, forty nurses and about 140 patients. As far as I know, everything at this hospital is in perfect harmony." A visit to the old City hospital tended to prove Dr. Tompkins' statement. Despite the fact that the building is more than forty years old, and that the floors are wood and the walls painted plaster, not a spec of dust or dirt was visible anywhere. The well-scrubbed wooden floors and steps would be a delight to a critical housewife. They are scrubbed daily, Dr. Tompkins said. No dirt is under the radiators in any part of the building. The basement is as clean as the operating room which is beyond reproach. It is a decided contrast to the new and modern General hospital further up the hill. Everything at the old City hospital is run under a well-planned system. There is no bickering and discontent among the employees. Both the patients and the staff express the highest degree of satisfaction over the management and conditions. The police say they are given twice the service and attention when bringing patients to the old City hospital that they receive at the General hospital. Not only is the Negro hospital the more cleanly of the two, but there is an air of work being well done about the place. Every one is busy and apparently satisfied. There are nearly as many patients at that hospital as at the General hospital. "We have a hard time getting equipment." Dr. Tompkins said, "but we do the best we can without. We are anxious that the people of Kansas City should pay our hospital a visit and see what we are doing."—Kansas City Journal. Vol. V. No. 20 (Whole No. 229) --- GREAT FINANCIAL ENTERPRISE LAUNCHED $500,000 Trust Company to be Launched by Colored Men—Founder of Standard Life Insurance Company Confers With New York Capitalists—Ready to “Put Over” Big Financial Venture. (Special to The Monitor.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 12.—Fresh from New York City, where he spent a week or ten days in conference with capitalists who control millions, Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., stopped over in Washington this week en route south, and announced the formal launching of a campaign to put over a financial venture of tremendous importance to the colored people, to be known as the Citizens' Trust Company. This is the only financial corporation to be controlled by colored people favorably passed upon by the capital issues committee of the Sixth Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Ga., and also by the capital issues committee of the United States Treasury Department at Washington, D. C. The new financial institution is to be under national and state supervision. The institution is to have a capital of $250,000, and a surplus of an equal amount—$250,000. Aside from a regular banking and trust business, special emplies will be given to assist colored people in purchasing and building homes, and in securing farm properties on long time payments and at low rates of interest. The development of colored business concerns and industrial corporations will receive special attention. The new concern will be national in scope, with branch offices in many important centers. Mr. Perry explained his plans in full detail to the officers of one of the largest trust companies in New York and is to be guided in the formation and operation of the Citizens Trust Company by these trained experts. He has been assured substantial encouragement in the carrying out of his plans. CHICAGO COMMISSION ON RACE RELATIONSHIP REPORTS Chicago, Ill., Nov. 4.—The Commission of Race Relationships appointed by Governor Lowden consisting of Edgar A. Bancroft, Chairman, Julius Rosenwald, Victor F. Lawson, Harry Eugene Kelly, William Scott Bond, Edward Osgood Brown, George Cleveland Hall, Edward H. Morris, Robert S. Abbott. Adelbert H. Roberts, George H. Jackson and L. K. Williams make the following statement to the public: "Reports to the Chicago Commission on Race Relationships, appointed by Governor Lowden, indicate a continued state of unrest in neighborhoods where white and black people live. While these reports are free from alarming indications, they are of such a nature as to cause the commission to urge co-operation of the public in quieting a deplorable tendency. "We feel it the duty of members of both races to be calm, patient and tolerant. Our commission is carefully investigating the cause of the calamity which overtook our city last summer. We hope to be able in due course to suggest means by which another such disgrace may be avoided. "We urge all citizens to aid us in our work by discouraging any attitude or language that tends to racial hostility." The Holidays Are Coming. The Holidays Are Coming.

WHITE CITIZENS OF CORDELE, GA., RAISE FUND TO REPLACE BURNED NEGRO CHURCH Philanthropy to Take Place of Possible Suit for Damages Against City of Cordele. CORDELE, Ga., Nov. 6.—A remarkable proceeding on the part of the white citizen here took place a short while ago, when a mass meeting was held to consider the restoring of the Negro church buildings, which were destroyed by the mob several weeks ago. A committee was appointed to investigate the damage done and to report the amount to be raised to make good this destruction. This committee reported as follows: "Pursuant to and in connection with a mass meeting held at the courthouse some weeks ago concerning the burning of Negro churches in the county, a number of white and colored citizens met at the site of one of these churches Thursday and made an investigation of the number of churches destroyed and the cost of rebuilding them. It developed at this meeting that there were three churches destroyed. A careful estimate of the amount necessary for material only was placed at $2,500 for the three. It being thought that if the white people provided the material that the Negroes would do all the building. Those present, both white and colored, agreed that this would be a just and agreeable division of the burden. "To the end of raising this fund it was arranged to put on a one-day campaign both in the communities of these churches and in the communities of these churches and in the city of Cordele. This campaign to be waged on Thursday, September 25. To this end committees were appointed to work, both in the county and city, and it is confidently thought that these committees will meet with the same degree of success that has always characterized our splendid citizenship. "There is no more worthy or meritorious cause that we could engage in than assisting to restore the colored churches so wantonly destroyed. In no section of our country is the colored race more peaceable, law-abiding and industrious than in Crisp county and he should recognize in this attitude some degree of consideration for their welfare. "Another thing which we should recognize and appreciate is the fact that notwithstanding the great labor unrest over the country and the agitation to excite labor, our colored race in this country has remained free from these influences—at the same time the colored race constitutes practically all our labor. It is felt that no trouble will be had in raising the money on next Thursday to serve every purpose in rebuilding the burned churches. So far no one has been found guilty of burning these churches, although a large reward was and is still offered." PESSOA STANDS FOR RACE EQUALITY President of Brazil States How He Voted at Peace Conference. RIO JANEIRO, Nov. 12.—Dr. Epitacio Pessoa, president of Brazil and former chairman of the Brazilian delegation, today in a public statement said that as head of the Brazilian delegation he always had voted in favor of the recognition of the equality of races when the question came up before the league of nations committee. Dr. Pessoa asserted that he had been guided in this matter solely by respect for the democratic traditions of his country and his own sentiments, which always had been above race prejudice. The statement was the outcome of a renewal of reports current in the early days of the peace congress that Dr. Pessoa favored President Wilson's policy of non-recognition of the equality of races, and voted in favor of equality only upon the insistence of other members of the Brazilian delegation. SEVERAL PERSONS DROWNED New Orleans, La., Nov. 12.—Nine people, five white and four Negroes, were drowned in Bayou Bartholomew at Bonnons ferry, six miles from here, when an overloaded ferry boat capsized with them. Five of the victims of the tragedy were women and two of them children. Old Fellow Righteously Indignant at Fastidiousness of the Guests of His Hotel. Capt. Lindsey Polk, director of a number of hotels, said recently in New York: "European hotels, even the best of them, are inferior to ours. While I was in Paris I saw an advertisement of a fashionable new hotel, and the boast the management made was that it was as good as the best American hotels. I was pleased with this tribute." Captain Polk smiled. "Well," he resumed, "our ideals are high. No more hotel keepers like the old fellow who complained about his summer visitors: "You wouldn't believe the nonsense that is in them. They is always wantin' a clane tablecloth an' clane sheets to their beds. An' table napkins, no less! I'll tell you what, there's sure people in this world that think they can go into a hotel an' make a convenience of it." OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED Familiar "Before You Could Say Jack Robinson" Does Not Convey the Right Idea. Opinion differs as to the proper duration of a social call. "Anywhere from ten minutes to a half hour," says the woman who has a social secretary and whose daily job is "calling," to the tune of tea and wafers. "All afternoon," says the bourgeoisie, who takes along her knitting and sits down to coffee and cake. "And then," say some, "it all depends upon the call. On some occasions and with different people we stay longer than others." But Jack Robinson's calls never varied. He never stayed long enough to wear out his welcome. In fact hardly had he been announced, hardly had the servant who admitted him spoken aloud his name than he was gone. So, as you see, "before you can say Jack Robinson" has no reference to the time it takes to say it. "As long as you can see Jack Robinson" would be more in order with its origin and significance. BEYOND POINT OF PERFECTION Porter's Description of Train Service Is Old, but Has Distinct Tinge of Humor. President Fairfax Harrison of the Alabama Great Southern railway, said at a luncheon in Richmond: "The old jokes about poor service on some of our southern and western railroads are antiquated. No trains in the world are more punctual today than our trains, and accidents are practically unknown. "The story about the porter and the late traveler." President Fairfax continued good humoredly, "is an old one. "A traveler, according to this story, just missed a train on a certain southern line, notorious for its poor service, and got the following consolation from a porter: "She's the punctualest train, sir, on the line and a great annoyance to travelers." See What He Started Struck by the notice, "Iron sinks," in a shop window a wag went inside and said he was perfectly aware of the fact that "iron sank." Alive to the occasion the smart shopkeeper retaliated: "Yes, and time flies, but wine vaults, sulphur springs, jam rolls, grass slopes, music stands, Niagara falls, moonlight walks, sheep run, Kent hops and holiday trips, scandal spreads, standard weights, India rubber tires, the organ stops, the world goes round, trade returns, and—" But the visitor had bolted. After collecting his thoughts he returned and showing his head at the doorway, shouted: "Yes, I know, and marble busts."—Irish World. Bride Runs Away.

We are journeying on through the weart- some heat To a land that is fair as a dream. Where the fluttering snowflakes will fall at our feet While the icicles glisten and gleam: To the land where the shadows bring sl- lence and sleep. By the river alight frozen and still: So a song we'll sing and our courage we'll keep And we'll journey along with a will. And when we have come to the wonderful place, We will look through the window and see The pictures of silver the frost loves to trace With a touch so fantastic and free. The ferns flaunting fine and the flowers so fair Will bid us regretfully sigh— And we'll thankfully take up the journey from there To return to the summertime sky. —Washington Evening Star.

Perhaps the most surprising information gathered with respect to fleas is that monkeys have no fleas. This is an assertion that is commonly received with astonishment and incredulity, but, says Howard Russell, the foremost authority on fleas, healthy wild monkeys are much too clean and active to harbor fleas, and when they are seen searching one another's fur in a fashion familiar to all of us it is only to clear their skin of any particles of scurf and dirt. It may be mentioned, too, that only one instance is on record where a flea was found on a reptile. This was on a brown snake which was captured near Perth, in West Australia, and which was probably derived from some small mammal devoured by the snake. The flea was firmly fixed between the scaly plates of the reptile. The history of the flea would seem to go back many centuries, but the only fossil remains of a flea that have so far been found is a single insect in a bit of Baltic amber. The flea is admirably preserved by its semi-transparent surroundings. He Didn't Part of the peace celebrations at Little Comuchombe was a shooting match for lads under seventeen.

JOHNSON AND SOUTH ```markdown ``` Nebraska's Largest Women's Apparel Store HOT COFFEE Delicious Ice Cream Sodas ```markdown ``` SHOES FOR MILADY Oxford and High Footwear Equal in Popularity. Baby French Heel Promises to Be In High Favor—Two-Toned Shoes for Street. The fascinating foot of lovely woman has long been a theme for song and sonnet, and certainly the fashions of the fall must inspire the modern poet to renewed tribute. Never have shoes been more delightfully interesting, more elegant in line, than they are today. It is the day of the long vamp, which gives the foot an extreme distinction and grace. The low shoe of the moment comes in patent, black kid and Havana brown, while as the cooler days approach the shoe of heavy tan calf, suede and buck leather, in black, brown and gray will have its innings. In fact, it is fifty-fifty just now between the Oxford and the shoe. And it may be noted that the oxford is going to be much worn with smart spats this fall. Now that the war is over and one feels that one can dance with a clear conscience, women are busily acquiring evening pumps and slippers. They are cut higher than heretofore, to give support to the big buckles of cut steel beads and iridescent beads set high in colonial effect which make them absolutely irresistible. The pumps are made of black kid and satin, and incidentally the satin ones are so cut as to wear without cracking. Slippers are of gold and silver cloth and have the high French heel. The baby French heel is going to be in high favor for evening shoes, as well as the French heel $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches high. These baby neels are delightfully quiet. On the street鞋, likewise, there is wide latitude in heels, and one may wear the high Cuban heel or be equally correct with a heel that isn't more than an inch. The two-toned shoe is going to be good style for the street. The patent vamp with box cloth top is good, and this fine box cloth is also used with Havana brown vamps. American women are demanding good shoes, and as a consequence, it seems, the market is short in the highest grades. Lack of skilled workmen to turn out the highly finished product is the reason. THE HOME-MADE FIRE SCREEN Four Pieces of Thick Cardboard, Strips of Linen and Wall Paper Are Required. A most effective and pretty fire screen can be made for very little cost. To make: Get four pieces of fairly thick cardboard and cut into pieces 29 inches long and 7 inches wide. These join together by means of strips of linen about 2½ inches wide, and stick with paste or Secotine, and leave to dry for about a day. When dry, get Home-Made Fire Screen. ether some brightly-colored chintz or wallpaper, and cut to size of cardboard. These also paste on and leave to dry. Now, according to paper or material used, choose something suitable for forming a deep border, as in the sketch. If wallpaper is used, black paper looks very smart for edge, as it gives an artistic effect. If chintz, use plain colored linen in dark shade, to contrast with colors in chintz. In pasting on linen down panels of cardboard, be sure and just place the edges of board together, so that they can be easily folded in and out, so that the screen stands properly. Smooth Cloths Should Be Sponged. An inch or two may sometimes be saved from the hem by the simple expedient of measuring the pattern to ascertain whether it is cut longer than one's individual height requires. Of course, when the person is unusually tall, the measurement shows the necessity of the addition of cloth, if one would be saved the bother of facing later on. Nowadays nearly all smoothly finished cloths are sponged before they are placed on the counter for sale. Nevertheless, it is well to make sure of this. Renovating Clothes A skirt that is too literally plain and severe may be brought up to date by the application of plaited net flouences placed at intervals from hips to hem. Or taffeta or satin in flouences, plaited or ruched effects may take the place of the net or chiffon. A little bodice of the flouce fabric will convert a has-been skirt into an attractive frock. Black is immensely popular for such little dresses. Cagni-Die moderated & Sedimented The stiff upstanding ribbon bow at the extreme back of this fashionable little felt turban lends it a jaunty atmosphere. ARE THE BUTTONS ON TIGHT? Much Time Lost and Milady Is Vexed Because of Carelessness of Manufacturers. You know the little verse about the battle that was lost because of a train of circumstances that had rise in the fact that a certain horseshoe nail was loose, and you might revise that little verse quite within the bounds of the possible to tell of other battles that have been lost because of the looseness of buttons or fasteners at critical moments. Now, really, isn't it a vexation to buy an expensive frock or suit only to have a button come off on the first occasion of wearing it? Perhaps the button is lost, and as there are no others like it in the workrooms of the shop where you bought the suit, you have to get along the best you can with one button missing or get an entirely new set of buttons that perhaps are not half so suitable or attractive. An important fastener on your frock becomes loosened the second time you wear it and the third time it comes off altogether. Then you are not quite sure where the original fastener went and by the time the frock has sagged or pulled down in that particular place and when you do come to put the missing fastener on again you are never able to restore the original trimmness of the frock. In the shops where ready-made suits are sold a great deal of time has to be taken in readjusting buttons and hooks and eyes, and when the clothes have been in stock any length of time it is sometimes necessary to sell them cheaper because of missing buttons and fasteners or to go to the expense of putting on an entirely new set of buttons. As a result of this a nation-wide campaign has been started on the part of retail men to see that manufacturers spend more time and thought on this really important matter of the loose fastener. SOME BOOT AND SHOE LORE How to Polish Footgear When Damp; Trees Should Be Used to Relieve the Pinch. It sometimes happens that one wishes to polish one's shoes when they are damp. It is impossible then to get a good polish and yet you have not the time to wait until they are thoroughly dry. If a few drops of paraffin are placed on a cloth and this is then rubbed over the leather there will be no trouble. Apply the polish in the usual way thereafter, and the result will be most satisfactory. If new shoes do not naturally take to polish simply take half a lemon, rub the leather with it, and then stand aside to dry. After this treatment a nice polish may be secured with little effort. On the first few occasions of polishing new brown shoes apply the polish very liberally. This will secure a handsomely deep tone that will make the shoes very attractive throughout the rest of their "young lives." It goes without saying that shoe trees should always be used. It pays these days to use a bit of care in preserving the good looks and good shape of one's shoes. A shoe really never is well taken care of if shoe trees are not used. Tissue paper may be used for the same purpose if stuffed tightly into the shoes. If a boot or shoe pinches, try this: While the shoe is on the foot or on a tree, take a small piece of cloth wring out of very hot water and put this over the part that is giving trouble. The pinching will disappear entirely after this treatment. Dotted Fabric. Dotted fabric is used more and more. We find lovely frocks of dotted muslin. Occasionally point d'esprit is used, especially as a trimming, when it appears in bands, like insertion, or on the edge of ruffles or tucks, like footing. Then there are dotted swiss hats and other dotted white fabric, the dot always self colored, being effectively used for frocks and blouses, trimming, hats and parasols. THE MONITOR WAYNE E.

IT was a pious instinct which made the founders of this republic set apart a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings vouch-safed to this nation and people. In accordance with this time-honored custom next Thursday has been designated as Thanksgiving Day. All of us have abundant reasons for being thankful for blessings received. Some blessings may have been disguised, as they have come to us and we have not recognized them as such. Nationally there are reasons for thanksgiving and racially also. Let us keep the day in the spirit in which it was originally intended; first as a time of public thanksgiving to God and then as a day of merry-making and feasting with our family and friends. And surely the day will have a new meaning for us if we invite someone, somebody's boy or girl, who may be away from home or have no home to go to; to join us in our family meal. Try it. "DOPE" PEDDLERS AND ADDICTS. THAT "dope" peddling is being carried on to a large extent in Omaha cannot be gainsaid. That there are many who are addicted to the drug habit is plainly evident to anyone who has had experience in coming into contact with these poor unfortunates, for unfortunates, more to be pitied than blamed, are they who have fallen slaves to this body-wrecking, mind-destroying, soul-damning habit. One who has had any experience at all can readily recognize them on the street. And the number of drug addicts that one may notice almost any day is pathetic and alarming. The habit has been formed in many cases through the administration of narcotic drugs, morphine, opium, strychnine and cocaine by conscienceless or irresponsible medical practitioners and quacks. A reputable physician who adheres to the ethics of his profession is exceedingly careful how he prescribes drugs of this character. But in this as in all professions are to be found men who, either tempted by poverty or cupidity, do not care what they do, if it will bring them a few paltry dollars of "easy money." In other cases the habit has been begun through the example and suggestion of addicts or by the disposition to "try it once." But, however the habit is formed, those who are bound by its chains are in a sorry plight. Laws against the sale of "dope," either by druggists or peddlers should be rigidly enforced. Those who take advantage of these victims of a body and soul-destroying habit should be most severely punished. As for the victims, themselves, it should be the duty of the state to provide institutions where they can be treated and reclaimed. This is not a subject that should be regarded lightly, because the baneful drug habit claims its victims from all grades of society. Rigid laws should be enforced and rigidly enforced against all who pander to or encourage this vice and adequate and humane methods should be employed to reclaim those who are its victims. FULL CITIZENSHIP. THERE are certain plain issues before us as an integral part of the American people, entitled to all the constitutional rights and privileges of American citizens, which must be clearly perceived, frankly discussed, and fearlessly met upon the only ground that will guarantee permanent and amicable adjustment. That ground is the full recognition of our constitutional rights as American citizens. Until our group in every community is accorded these constitutional rights there will be dissatisfaction, strife, friction. It is folly to blink at this fact. These are the days for speaking the truth plainly. We will get no where in bringing in the true democ- racy which we should all desire if we permit ourselves to be deceived upon this point. Any group of American citizens that is satisfied with less than their full constitutional rights is not worthy of American citizenship. It is in the light of this fact that the new consciousness of our people must be interpreted. This, then, is the sole issue: Are we American citizens? If this be answered in the affirmative, as it must be, it follows, naturally, that as intelligent, self-respecting, progressive citizens of this republic, we cannot, maintain our self-respect and manhood and willingly suffer the curtailment of any of our rights of citizenship unapplicable to all other citizens. There needs to be absolute clear-headedness upon this issue. This is the issue upon which must be be no surrender, no compromise. This is why we must continue to fight against "jim crow" ordinances of every description in every section of the country, not because we are seeking "social intermingling." but civil and civil rights; and because such ordinances are clearly, obviously and designedly an invasion and curtailment of our constitutional rights as American citizens. It is important that we should understand this and it is important that we should strive to get the thoughtful and fair-minded people of the dominant group to understand it, not by losing our temper or by calling names or by threats and inflammatory utterances but by sane, sensible, sober and convincing argument. The task of cinvincing those who are unwilling to be convinced, we admit, is a difficult one; but it is not an impossible one. Let us see to it that we clearly understand the issue involved in contending for our constitutional rights as American citizens and let us also see that we become parties to no plan, no matter how plausible or advantageous it may appear, that means a surrender of such rights. Be content with nothing less than being a 100 per cent American citizen, discharging cheerfully and gladly all the duties if such citizenship and proving yourself worthy of enjoying all the privileges and rights of the same. Full citizenship. Nothing less. Let us be worthy of it and then stand uncompromisingly for it. THE BEE'S CHANGED POLICY. WHY? FOR nearly a year hundreds of our people who have been readers of the Omaha Daily Bee, founded by one of America's greatest journalists, Edward Rosewater, and ranging among the foremost dailies of the country, have been perplexed and perturbed over the radical change of policy in its news columns and particularly as affecting our race in this community. Citizens in general have noted the degeneracy of the Bee from sane, conservative and trustworthy news gathering to almostreckless irresponsibility of statement, wild sensationalism and nauseating yellow journalism. None has felt this change of policy more keenly than our particular group; none has been done greater injury by it. The self-respecting and law-abiding colored citizens of Omaha, and they number fully ninety-eight per cent of our total, have suffered almost irreparable loss in public opinion and good will because of the sensational methods employed by this hitherto conservative and dependable daily in reporting alleged crimes and rumors of crimes by the less than 2 per cent of the lawless, who unfortunately belong to our group. This matter has given many of us grave concern. Because of it race prejudice has increased to an alarming degree. Recent developments would seem to justify the conclusion that this has been the determined purpose of this policy. These developments lend considerable weight to the charge made by influential persons in the east that THE MONITOR large sums of money have been raised in the south for the purpose of anti-Negro propaganda in the north, primarily for political purposes, and that some of this money is being used to either purchase, subsidize or control influential northern newspapers. This plan carries with it the employment of well-trained southern newspaper men in responsible positions on the dailies so controlled. This is the charge that has been seriously made. Those assuming responsibility for it have called attention to the number of southerners so employed on northern dailies, and the changed or changing policy, editorial and news, of such publications. It looks very much like there may be some truth to this accusation. The editorial policy of the Bee has not radically changed; but its news policy has, and the explanation for it was given in the district court this week where Victor Rosewater, the editor and J. Harry Moore, a reporter, indicted by the grand jury for participation in the rioting September 28 are on trial before Judge Redick, for alleged contempt of court in publishing a charge that Moore's indictment for conspiracy to commit arson had been procured by perjured testimony. Taylor Kennerly, formerly of Montgomery, Ala., testified that he came to Omaha from New York a year ago to become managing editor of the Bee and at that time was given absolute control of the news policy of the paper. In response to a direct question, Mr. Kennerly said: "I get no orders from Mr. Rosewater. That was understood when I came here. I was to have complete charge. My only instruction was 'to run a newspaper.'" According to the testimony of Mr Kennerly and others given in the district court, Victor Rosewater, trained by his illustrious father to perpetuate the honorable traditions and policy of a great newspaper, no longer has control of the publication. Who, then has? Is the charge of southern control and subsidization of many northern newspapers true? Has the octopus laid its life-crushing tentacles upon the Omaha Bee? Is it using unscrupulous local individuals and agencies taking advantage of the local political situation, to further its nefarious ends. At least two able southern newspaper writers have within the last year or so been given responsible positions on the Bee, Taylor Kennerly and J. Harry Moore. We know the news policy of the Bee has changed, radically during the past year, and the change has been greatly to its discredit. This has been a matter of keen regret to many of the Bee's sincerest friends and warmest admirers, among whom has been The Monitor. We know this policy has done our people a great injustice. We are persuaded that it has not contributed to or conserved the best interests of the city at large. It would seem from the disclosures recently made, that some sinister outside influence control the Bee. What are those agencies, influencias, or individuals? What's back of it all? If it be true that Victor Rosewater has lost control of the Bee, The Monitor hopes he may regain it and restore it to the place it once occupied among the foremost publications of the country, as the champion of justice and right, refusing to lend itself to any propaganda to discredit any class of American citizens. Its present status and methods do not command respect. LEADING EDITORIALS OF THE DAY —FROM RACE JOURNALS This is a tragic hour in the world's history. The industrial world is riven and torn asunder as never before. Radicalism stalks abroad. Men with no other than self-seeking ends are seizing upon the unrest of the hour as it exists among the ranks of labor to preach their insidious doctrine of communism. They would wrest from the owners and operators their industrial plants and confiscate their wealth. They would destroy the present form of government and place the fortunes and affairs of the nation in the hands of inexperienced and ignorant workmen. They would supplant order with chaos and demolish in an hour all that man has been able to accomplish through centuries of painful and constant endeavor. In many of the old autocracies of Europe are strongly organized bodies seeking the overthrow of government—all government. Malcontents and irrational zealots fired by the new spirit of freedom in the world and a boldness born of the uncertainties of the hour are translating liberty into license and making their own inordinate and fiendish desires the ends which government should seek. Wreck and ruin follow wherever they secure power. If the world's affairs were wrested by them for the briefest span of time all would be lost and inconceivable suffering would result. In our own country labor is getting out of hand. There are strikes upon strikes and other walkouts threatening. Labor leaders are powerless to prevent most of the strikes and the radicals rule. Visions of high wages, the working day shortened to an outing experience, and the mutualizing of all the great industries to the point of eliminating the employing class are held up before alien laborers and ignorant American workmen and the men have gone chasing this rainbow and nothing short of the rainbow's end will satisfy them. One wonders where it all will end. For end somewhere it must. Propagandists have been making their appeal and preaching their subtle doctrine to Negro labor. Now the great danger in their success is patient to most of us but will Negro labor so understand it? And, too, there is some likelihood of their success in the fact that there are so many injustices visited upon Negroes to which these trouble breeders can justly point. And they are using such facts for all they are worth. We would God it were otherwise for in that case Negro labor would stand adamant. The Negro is the only really dependable labor in America. How poorly does the nation repay him for his steadfastness! So far the Negro has not listened to any appreciable degree to those who would lure him into action harmful to his government and the welfare of the American people. But the nation must change its attitude toward him if he would be kept content and working. He must have even handed justice in all matters. That will satisfy him. In the meantime the Negro must remain steady and true. To Negro labor we appeal for sanity and poise in these critical times. Let no destructionist, no anarchist, no unconscionable man delude you into attitudes and practices which will wreck your government and ruin you. Remain on the job. Work the full day. Be frugal. Save your earnings. Be able to look God and man in the face without fear because as honest men you are giving honest toil and standing true to your government and the welfare of your country.

PROTECT YOURSELVES AGAINST CHEATING Inspector of Weights and Measures Warns Public Against Short Meas- ures—New City Ordinances Re- quire Sale hy Weight and Not By Basket. To the coal consumers of the city of Omaha, especially those who buy coal in small quantities: I desire to call your attention to the fact that the law compels coal dealers and peddlers to sell their commodities by weight and not by the basket or measure, as heretofore. Wighty (80) pounds of coal is one (1) bushel; sixty (60) pounds of potatoes, one (1) bushel. You can buy any fraction of a bushel of either commodity, but it must be by weight and not by basket, as they may not hold the required number of pounds. You can protect yourselves by watch- ing this matter and greatly assist this office by reporting any refusal to sell by weight. Respectfully yours, JNO. W.

An amusing incident fs related in the Scientific American to prove that plate glass fades under exposure to sunlight. The glass originally 1s slightly green, and after some years of use becomes pure white. The incident ts briefly as follows : In making some changes in the front of # haberdusher's store, a five-foot plece of plate gluss was removed and taken away by the glazier. In course of time this sheet was installed in the front window of a new residence, The family had searcely moved in when they began to receive telephone mes: sages suggesting that the neighbor- hood was scarcely appropriate for a shirt factory. They were mystified until they discovered that when the sunlight struck their window at a cer- tain angle the words, “John Doe— Shirts Made to Order,” shone out upon the glass. ‘The explanation was that when the glass formed the haberdasher's window ft had borne these words in white en- amelled letters, and the letters had protected the underlying glass from the rays of the sun, consequently it had not faded ax the rest of the glass had done. = CS eae z sued eX eae ye A GOOD DEFENSE.

Capers and sweet green peppers are good in combina- tion with lettuce, tomatoes or chicken. Lemon sliced and sprinkled with chopped parsley or sprays of parsley with quarters of lemon make a. fish salad most dainty. Beet and Potato Salad.—Take six beets and six potatoes, one cupful of chopped olives and chives, with may: onnaise dressing. Cut the cooked beets and potatoes with a potato ent- ter into small balls, Put the potatoes In the mayonnaise dressing to which has been added the chives and olives. Dip the beets in vinegar and dish al ternately, serving on lettuce. Poinsettia Saiad.—Tuke six tomatoes, a stalk of celery, a sweet green pepper and three apples, one-half cup of wal- nut meats and mayonnaise dressing. Scald the tomatoes, chill them and with a sharp knife, mark five divl- sions from the top center over halt way to the base. Carefully turn back the skin fo form five petals, scoop out the pulp and fill with apple, celery and nuts. Heap a little extra dress {ng on each and garnish with a ring of green pepper.

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Good crowds have attended the special evangelistic services that have been in progress for the past ten days. Many lasting lessons have been learned by both old and young, from the able discourses of Dr. W. C. Young, who has been assisting the pastor. On Tuesday night of this week he preached a special sermon to men; on Wednesday night to the children, and on Thursday night a special service was held for the missionary women of the city. The closing service will be held on Friday night, November 21. You will make no mistake by hearing Dr. Young. The Mission Circle was entertained last week by Mrs. A. M. Harrold. The new officers were installed and each voiced their appreciation of the honor bestowed upon them and decided that "Deeds, not words" should be their slogan for the coming year.

M. At the close of the festivities Rev.

What words of precious meaning those words Masonic are." MT. MORIAH BAPSTIST CHURCH, Rev, M. H. Wilkinson, Pastor. Services were well attended Sunday.

We are fixing the Home to make it more comfortable in which to house the ladies, the house has been raised and a foundation built, and a furnace installed, and we hope the public will assist us in raising money to get the home in good condition. The home does not belong to any one individual, but to the Negroes of Omaha, and the public should help us keep it up, as it is the only institution in Omaha owned and controlled by Negroes.

The centerpiece consisted of the choicest fruits artistically arranged. The Phi Delta girls were the guests of one of their members. Miss Wilmena Watson, at her residence. 2925 Grant street. They filed in and took their places around the hospitable table and under the pleasing glow of the lights. One of them proceeded to investigate what looked like place cards that peeked out here and there beneath the heavy grape clusters which were a part of the centerpiece. And this is what the Phi Delta girls read when the innocent appearing cards were investigated: "Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Watson announce the engagement of their daughter, Wilmina, to Mr. Wade Hampton Green." Exclamations, interrogations, congratulations filled the aid. Eating was forgotten and peace was not established until the information was obtained that the big event would take place about the middle of December. Duiring one of the pleasantest evenings the club has ever spent, discussion brought out the fact that all the presidents of the club have married Immediately all the unmarried members of the club began campaigning for the office that seems to bring such coveted results.

BUSINESS TRAINING FOR NEGROES Without a sufficient number of well-trained Negro men and women it is impossible for the business enterprises now owned and operated by progressively efficient Negroes, to meet keen competition and at the same time to make substantial advancement. It is easier to get capital than it is to get efficient employees. Wherever a Negro is doing a good standard business, we should patronize him. We should not, however, patronize an enterprise merely because it is owned and operated by a Negro, but the high standard of the business should invite and warrant our patronage. When we patronize Negro business enterprises we not only supply ourselves with the necessaries, the immediate wants in life; but we help to encourage and build up enterprises that are providing lucrative employment of high grade for an immense arm yof Negro men and women for whom it would be impossible to secure a similar grade of employment elsewhere. Such patronage incress faith in and respect for ourselves, and causes us to believe in the work we are doing.—Southern Workman. NEGRO DOCTOR, MECHANO- THERAPIST RECOMMENDED BY WHITE MAN Mr. A. Theodore, Home Builder, Real Estate and Insurance, a well known and popular business man of this city, takes this opportunity in recommending to the public Dr. J. L. Green, Mechano-Therapist as a scientific and competent practitioner in handling human ailments. "For two years or more I had been suffering with a complication of diseases. I had gone to Excelsior Springs, Mo., and were treated for three weeks with but slight benefit. And was contemplating going away again somewhere in search of health. But was told about Dr. Green and his wonderful success in handling complicated cases, I at once called upon him and had him diagnose my case and went under his treatment and care. I commenced to improve from the first treatment, and felt that I was going to get well. I now feel as well as ever, after taking only fifteen treatments. I shall now have Dr. Green give me about two treatments each week for a while. I am sure to take a few of these treatments occasionally will defeat old age many years and keep one in health and vigor. "Phone him, Webster 3694, when you need expert aid in illness.

THE DONATOR ATTORNEY SCRUGGS WINS LEGAL VICTORY Andrew Webb Accused of Assaulting Twelve-Year-Old Girl With Intent to do Great Bodily Harm is Acquitted by Jury in District Court. In the face of the adverse public sentiment which obtains in Omaha at this time against Negroes accused of crime against white women and girls, Attorney Amos P. Scruggs scored a great victory Monday before Judge Sears in the district court, when a jury after twenty minutes deliberation brought in a verdict of acquittal for his client, Andrew Webb, who was accused of entering the residence of Mr. Larson, 3329 Ohio street, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of August 8, trying, gagging and striking his twelve-year-old daughter and ransacking the house for money and Liberty bonds. Margaret Larson who, in struggling with the robber, tore a handkerchief from his face, identified Webb, who has been employed for three years in a laundry in different section of the city and on the day in question stopped work at 4 o'clock, as the man. Several witnesses testified that Webb was at his home, 814 North Nineteenth street, at the time the crime was committed. Scruggs in his argument contended that industrious men like Webb's employer testified the accused was are not the disreputables who are committing such detestable crimes. The same day Attorney E. F. Morearty secured a verdict of acquittal for another colored man, Pierce, who was held for highway robbery. The jury in this case was out only fifteen minutes. acquittal for ce, who was .

Bishop Shayler spoke on the nation-wide campaign which the Episcopal Church has inaugurated for mobilizing the spiritual forces of the great Anglican communion in helping make America truly Christian. The bishop's address made a profound impression upon the congregation. He will visit St. Philip's at some subsequent date to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation. CHICAGO UNDER NEW Desires You Next Sunday night at 8 o'clock, Mr. Henry R. Gering, a prominent business man and chairman of the Nation-Wide Campaign, will speak at St. Philip's.

The services next Sunday will be at the usual hours—7:30, 10 and 11 a.m. and 8 p. m. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock Mr. Thomas Reese will begin instructing an adult Bible Class by special request.

World's Debt to the East. World's Best to the East Civilization was born in the East. For ages letters, art, religion flowed westward from Asia. When Europe was a wilderness, peopleled only with savage, wandering tribes, learning and government flourished beyond the Dardanelles. From Armenia, Syria and Persia came both the Jewish and the Christian religions, the alphabet and much of science. Long since the tide turned. Civilization among these eastern peoples began to ebb, and they have slipped far back toward their pastoral days. Smoke John Rusklin 5c Cigar. Biggest and Best.—Adv.
