Weaver On Trial for Arson---First Riot Case in Court Southern Roman Catholic Bishop Declares Georgia Must Stop Lynching The Rt. Rev. Benjamin J. Kelly States That Unless State Amends Ways Federal Bayonets Will Give Negro Protection Too Long Denied Him. "Fair and Impartial Justice Is Not Meted Out to White and Colored Men Alike." Declares Savannah Prelate. GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c Weaver Southern Roman Ca Declares Georgia The Rt. Rev. Benjamin J. Kelly S Ways Federal Bayonets W Too Long H "Fair and Impartial Justice Is No Men Alike," Declare SAVANNAH, Ga., December 3.—The recent demand made for justice for the Negro by Rt. Rev. Benjamin J. Kelly, the influential Roman Catholic bishop of Savannah, in an able address is attracting wide-spread attention. The fact that he is a southerner, and holds rather tenaciously to the favorite doctrine of state rights makes his statement the more significant. He claims that unless Georgia accords the Negro justice federal bayonets will grant him protection. The Savannah prelate says: "To those who know it is hardly necessary to state that I am a southerner. I have no word of apology to offer to any one for the views I hold and the stand I took in the war between the states. "I had no doubt then, and I have none now, of the justice and right of the action of the southern states. I believe that their cause should have met success, and that then the South should have restored the Union on the basis of the constitution as understood and intended by the fathers. "I warmly love the South and her story, her traditions and her ideals are very dear to me. I resent the unjust criticism to which she has been subjected, and none has been more unjust and untrue than that which represents the South as not being in heart and soul loyal to our great Union. "But I fully recognize the absolute justice of one charge which is made against her, and I look with grave apprehension to the future, for no people that disregards justice can ever have the blessings of God, and we are guilty of great injustices to the Negro. The Negro was brought here against his will; he is here and he will remain here, and he is not treated with justice by us; nay, I will say that he is often not treated with ordinary humanity. Georgia Stands First "Look at the statistics in our own state. Georgia stands first in the list of states in the matter of lynchings. Has there ever been a man punished in this state for lynching a Negro? "Lynching is murder, nothing else. "Besides, is it not the fact that fair and impartial justice is not meted out to white and colored men alike? The courts of this state either set the example, or follow the example set them, and they make a great distinction between the white and black criminal brought before them. The latter, as a rule, gets the full limit of the law. Do you ever hear of a street difficulty in which a Negro and a white man were involved which was brought before a judge, in which, no matter what were the real facts of the case, the Negro did not get the worst of it? "Georgians boast of being a Christian people, and this year they are putting their hands into their pockets to raise millions to bring the light of Christianity as understood by them, to some less favored peoples in Europe. "I would like to know if it is entirely compatible with Christian morality to treat the Negro as he is treated here? My belief is that the Negro and the white man were redeemed by the blood of Christ shed on the cross of Calvary, and that the Christian religion, absolutely condemns injustice to anyone, and forbids the taking of life. "To me the murder of a Negro is as much murder as the killing of a white man, and in each case 'Christian civilization demands the punishment of the crime should rest in the hands of the lawfully constituted authorities." No Lyncher Punished "I have lived to see in Georgia an appeal made to the highest authority in the state for protection of the lives of colored men, women and children answered by the statement that the Negro should not commit crimes! The people of Georgia vest in certain officials the execution of justice. Yet no lyncher has ever been punished here, and I regret to state that public sentiment seems to justify the conduct of the officials. "As I am writing these lines I find myself eagerly scanning the papers to THE MONITOR find the latest news from the strike districts. What is to be the result? Only a short time ago I was reading the strange news of the race riots in the northern and western cities. Thank God we have had none of those riots in the south. Do you know the reason? The only reason is the forbearance of the Negro. He has been treated with gross injustice; he has not retaliated. In all these cases gross disregard for law and order are either the cause of the direct consequence of those disturbances. Ask Court Aid "Are there not numbers of honest, law-abiding citizens of Georgia, who know that I am telling God's truth, and who will protest against this injustice to the Negro? Is there not a just and fearless man who will have the courage to announce that there shall be no difference in his court between the white man and the colored man? "Injustice and disregard of law and the lawful conduct of affairs are the sure forerunners of anarchy and the loss of our liberty, and we are drifting in that direction. I have pleaded for justice to the Negro because it is his due and is right. "Both divine and human law are flouted when such injustice is done. The Negro will not stand asking for justice from Georgia laws or Georgia courts. He has been patient, and I hope he will remain so, but he well knows where the remedy lies, and he will very soon be found knocking at the door of the federal congress asking protection. He will merely ask the pittance of the life of himself, his wife and children. And congress will hear him." "We waged successful warfare against federal interference with our elections because our friends of the north and west came to our aid, but we cannot expect any one to help when an appeal is made against us on account of our treatment of the Negro. "If appeal to right, to justice, to Christian morality, do not avail to put a stop to this injustice to the Negro and protect him against the murderous lynchers, then Georgia will see federal bayonets giving him protection. "All good Georgians should unite to stamp out this foul blot on our state." PETITION WILSON FOR CLEMENCY Boston Churches Request Stay of Execution of Sentence Imposed Upon Negroes by Railroad Methods at Elaine, Arkansas—Convicted Men Defending Legal Rights. Boston, Dec. 3.—A resolution adopted at a union thanksgiving service of Negro churches and telegraphed to President Wilson, Attorney General Palmer and Governor Brough of Arkansas implores clemency for "the 11 members of our race sentenced to death for the Elaine riots, to be executed Friday, according to press reports." President Wilson was petitioned to request Governor Brough to grant reprieves "pending impartial investigation" and Attorney General Palmer was urged to grant the petition so as "to afford time to inquire into the claim that the convicted men were defending property and legal rights." Another resolution requested the United States senate to amend the railroad bill by inserting a clause "to abolish the greatest violation of democracy, the segregation of passengers for race, as applied to interstate travel." DESERTER FROM U. S. ARMY LEADS YAQUI INDIANS Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 29.—An American Negro, who deserted recently from the Tenth United States cavalry, is reported to be the leader of a band of approximately 300 Yaqui Indians, who raided the eastern part of the Montezuma district early this month. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 4, 1919 PRESIDENT PRESENTS PERPLEXING PROBLEMS Message to Congress Analyzes Grave Issues Facing Country and Makes General Recommendations of Legislation to Meet Same. RADICAL AGITATORS ENEMIES OF COUNTRY Great Reforms Can Be Accomplished Only Through the Orderly Process of Representative Government, Declares President. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2.—General recommendations on legislation to combat the cost of living, labor unrest, radicalism and a readjustment of the nation to peace time basis were the features of President Wilson's annual message to congress. The peace treaty, the president told congress, will be discussed in a separate message later, as will the railroad question. A long portion of the message was devoted to a discussion of the condition and rights of labor. "A definite program to bring about an improvement in the conditions of labor" and "bring about a genuine democratization of industry" was recommended. "The only way to keep men from agitating against grievances is to remove the grievances," said the president's message. At another point it declared "the seed of revolution is repression." "The establishment of the principles regarding labor, laid down in the covenant of the league of nations," said the message, "offers us the way to industrial peace and conciliation. No other road lies open to us. * * * * Governments must recognize the right of men to bargain collectively for humanne objects. * * * Labor no longer must be treated as a commodity. * Two Sides to Right of Strike "The right of individuals to strike is inviolate," continues the message, "and ought not to be interfered with by any process of government, but there is a predominant right, and that is the right of the government to protect all of its people and to assert its power and majesty against the challenge of any class." The president was referring to the government's recent injunction against the coal strike. The message closed with a pointed reference to radicalism and red doctrines and referred to "Russia today with its blood and terror" as a "painful object lesson of the power of minorities." Radicals Enemies of Country "There are those in this country," said the message, "who threaten direct action to force their will upon a majority. * * * It makes little difference what minority it is, whether capital or labor or any other class, no sort of privilege will ever be permitted to dominate this country. Orderly processes, the message declared, were the only ones by which relief and reform could be obtained. "Those who would propose any other methods of reform are enemies of this country," the message said. "Let those beware who take the shorter road of disorder and revolution." Failure of Treaty a Cause of Unrest The president made his most extensive reference to the peace treaty by saying the causes for the unrest "are superficial rather than deep-seated" and that they "arise from or are connected with the failure on the part of our government to arrive speedily at a just and permanent peace, permitting return to normal conditions." PROMINENT MAN ANSWERS LAST CALL The Hon. George Washington Ellis. Well Known Author and Ex-Secretary of American Legation, Dies at Chicago Home After Long Hudd. (Special to The Monitor) Chicago, Ill., Dec. 3.—George Washington Ellis, noted author and one of the most scholarly men of the race, died at his residence here, 3662 Vernon avenue, November 28, after a long illness. For eight years he was secretary of the American legation at Liberia. Returning to the United States he was made assistant corporation counsel for the city of Chicago, which position he filled with distinction until his illness compelled him to relinquish it. Mr. Ellis was born in Kansas 44 years ago. Would Modernize Coast Defenses Major General Black, Chief of Engineers, Would Have United States Strongly Fortify Strategic Points Along Sea Board. DARDANELLES POINTS AMERICA LESSON Increased Range of Naval Guns, Throwing Projectiles Nearly Thirty Miles, Shows Necessity for Emplacement of Heavier Coast Ordinance. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Necessity for the maintenance of defensive works at important and strategic points along the coasts of the United States is no less patent today than before the war with Germany, in the opinion of Maj. Gen. William M. Black, chief of engineers. In his annual report General Black declared that "seacoast defense had lost nothing in importance from the lessons of the war." adding: "Rather was the extreme value of such works demonstrated. The Turkish forts at the Dardanelles served to prevent the taking of Constantinople and the opening of a line of supply for Russia. This instance alone, in its far-reaching consequences, proved the worth of sea-coast defenses." Black presented the opinion that heavy ordnance on railway mounts "must be considered simply as auxiliary defenses," to the fixed and permanent works. He recommended the emplacement of heavier guns to offset the greatly increased range of naval guns, some of which now can throw a projectile $28\frac{1}{2}$ miles. The work of modernizing the coast defenses is being continued, the report showed, many recent innovations in the science of warfare having been adopted. Not the least important of these was a disappearing searchlight tower, the fixed type having proven of great value to the enemy as a "ranging point" for their fire. The report included a detailed summary of the work done during the fiscal year under the rivers and harbors project. The commission now has under preparation a report on "water terminal and transfer facilities of the United States," which is to be the most complete document of its kind ever published. MACON LYNCHES ANOTHER NEGRO Infamous Georgia Town Adds Another Victim to Its Blood Red Record—State Has Nearly One-third of Total Lynchings of Year in Whole Country to Its Disgrace. (Special to The Monitor.) MACON, Ga., Dec. 2.—This city, which is notorious even in the annals of Georgia for the number of its lynchings, today added another victim to its blood-red record. An unidentified Negro was lynched near here after he had shot and seriously wounded Hansel Rosier, fr., a farmer's son, with whom he had quarreled. The mob worked so quietly that the neighborhood knew nothing of the lynching, although it was expected, until the man's body was found hanging from a tree near a church. Physicians say Rosier will recover. This is the nineteenth Negro to be lynched in Georgia during the year, being nearly one-third of the total lynchings in the entire country.

No. 22 (Whole No. 231) COLORED "Y" WORKERS CITED FOR BRAVERY Brilliant Record Made by Young Men and Women Who Were Sent Overseas During Great World War Eighty-four Persons Rendered Good Service. BULLOCK, DARTMOUTH FOOTBALL STAR Among Men Winning Special Distinction—Edward Terrell Banks of Ohio and Hugh Oliver Cook of Missouri Also Cited. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—The record of the colored men and women who who sent overseas by the Young Men's Christian Association, who served as secretaries during the world war, is marked with brilliant achievements. The total number sent was eighty-four, sixty-one men and twenty-three women. Of this number two died in active service overseas and two died in this country. Frederick D. Ballou, of Richmond, Ky., and the Rev. R. A. Pritchett, of Philadelphia, who served with the forces in Africa, were drowned at Dares-Salaam, in East Africa. Those who died in home service were the Rev. H. E. Levi, of Camp Talladega, Ala., who died at Camp Wheeler, and Hiram H. Wheeler, of Urbana, Ill., who died while on furlough. Those cited for bravery were Edward Terrell Banks, of Dayton, O., Hugh Oliver Cook, of Kansas City, Mo., and M. W. Bullock, former Dartmouth football star. Mr. Banks won his citation for bravery while serving in the 368th Infantry of the Ninety-second Division. The division received word that a scout had been wounded and was lying helpless between the lines. Banks immediately set out to rescue the wounded man, but in the attempt was caught by a barrage and could not get back. With a determination to save his man, Secretary Banks stayed with him through the night and brought him back the next morning when the firing was less severe and carried him to safety. For this he was recommended for a citation by Captain Smith, commanding Company K. of the 368th Infantry. For gallant conduct in the Champagne offensive of September 26 to October 6, Hugh Oliver Cook, of Kansas City, was recommended by Col P. I. Miles, commanding the regiment, "for heroic conduct in volunteering to aid in administering to the wounded on September 26 near Hill 188. He worked tirelessly until he himself was gassed." M. W. Bullock was cited by Colonel Hayward, of the old Fifteenth New York National Guard regiment, for gallant service with that unit throughout the service. FOUR GENERATIONS ATTEND FUNERAL FOUR generations of direct descendants attended the funeral of Mrs. Lucinda Harris, 106-year-old race woman, who was buried Friday in Forest Lawn cemetery. "Grandma" Harris was well known among the people of her race. She lived 35 years in Omaha, and during all of those years she was a member of St. John's Methodist Episcopal church. She lived at the home of her only daughter, Helen Jenkins, 2222 Seward street, where she died of senility. A son, Charles Harris, came from Chicago to attend the funeral. She is also survived by two grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Mrs. Harris was born in Kentucky during 1813. She was a slave for many years and lived in Missouri before she came to Omaha in 1884. The funeral was attended by many friends and acquaintances who had known this venerable woman and had been impressed by her words of wisdom and advice. PITTSBURGH DEDICATES SHAFT TO BLACK HEROES (By The Associated Negro Press) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 2.—With impressive ceremonies, witnessed by thousands of the race, the shaft in Schenley park commemorating the activities of Pittsburgh Negroes in the war, was recently dedicated. The services were preceded by a parade which marched through the downtown streets to the park. Indicted by Grand Jury on Trial in District Court for Arson—Rioter is Floater—Convicted by Court Martial for Desertion from United States Army. POLICEMEN POSITIVE AS TO IDENTIFICATION LOUIS WEAVER, a cook at the Rome hotel, on trial before Judge Redick in the district court, charged with throwing a can of gasoline into the courthouse on the night of the riot and lynching, admitted being present on side of courthouse building near window with can of gasoline which was handed him by an unknown person who directed at point of gun to dispense it, and that he dashed gasoline alongside of building which stream of thrown gasoline was always five feet from building, and that steam of gasoline caught fire from building and burned him, ending his activities for the evening. The evidence for the state was straightforward, believable, convincing, and was corroborated by many facts and circumstances which Weaver could not deny, and to this effect: that Weaver was seen dashing the gasoline into the courthouse and in the act was burned about the arms and face; that he told the doctor who dressed the wounds that he was burned at the courthouse; that he was apprehended concealed in a house on South Seventeenth street in a small closet among and under bed clothing; that his written statement was true and was made of his own free will and that he offered no testimony to deny that he said on the street he was going to get gasoline and set fire to the building; that Weaver is a floater going from place to place, having been charged, tried and convicted by a court martial for desertion from the United States army and sentenced to Leavenworth military prison; that his father-in-law, who testified against him, had started proceedings to annul the marriage between his 14-year-old daughter and Weaver whom Weaver had stolen. He was identified by several policemen as the man who threw gasoline into the county treasurer's office. Policeman Louis Zich pointed at Weaver from the witness stand and declared: "That man jumped on the sill of the north window of the county treasurer's office with a five-gallon can of gasoline painted red and threw the gasoline into the office where the fire was burning. Boy of 14 Led Way "A boy of 14 years old poured gasoline on the sill of the window before Weaver got there," continued Zich. "The window was burned and fell in. Then Weaver, wearing a sweater and without any hat, climbed upon the sill and others handed the can of gasoline up to him and he poured it on. The crowd cheered him and he said something." Admits Being in Crowd Weaver admitted being in the crowd surrounding the court house when the fire was started, and declared that the burns which he received resulted from the explosion of a can of gasoline within the treasurer's office while he was attempting to enter the room through a window. A confession, signed by Weaver, was introduced by County Attorney Shotwell, who is prosecuting the case. This was made by Weaver right after his arrest, October 4, witnesses testified, in the office of Chief of Detectives Dunn. In it he states that he threw half a can of gasoline on the fire, but that it flared back on him and burned him. Weaver admitted signing a statement to the officers. Harry Lightall, a special officer for the Nebraska Power company, who was inside the court house night of the riot, said he saw Weaver and was present at the police station when Weaver made his confession which he dictated to Detective Toland and then signed. County Attorney Shotwell told the jury that it should not have the slightest sympathy with the accused as the evidence showed beyond the slightest doubt that Weaver was guilty as charged. He emphasized the all importance of the conscientious determination of the issues involved in the case, and that aside from the established guilt of the accused and the issues and principles connected thereto, that the greater principle which the jury would determine was whether we should have and desired the reign (Continued on Page 2.) CHILDREN OF ENGLAND IN WAGE SLAVERY National News Makes Startling Accusation That Thousands of Children of Tender Age Are Being Exploited by British Industries. London, Dec. 3. — The appalling scandal of child slavery in Great Britain, as unearthed by the National News, which has continued its investigation, reveals that 1,500,000 British children under 16 years old are employed in and exploited by industry. Thousands of these child victims who are stunted in body and mind and whose future is hopelessly handicapped, are but 7 or 8 years old and work 50 hours a week for less than $1. In Birmingham, for instance, there are 9,000 child wage victims; in Kent, where the beer hops grows, there are several thousands. During 1917 there were 14,000 children employed at night in munition shops. The National News maintains that the children's work is unnecessary, that the monetary gain is far more than offset by the evil effects of child labor, and that the practice of employing child labor in dangerous and unnecessary tasks is widely prevalent and a national disgrace. WOULD COLONIZE AMERICAN NEGROES IN GERMANY'S AFRICAN POSSESSIONS (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington. D. C., Dec. 3.—Voluntary emigration of the Negroes of this country to the former German colonies in Africa, where they would have a greater opportunity than in this country but would still remain under the American flag, is believed by Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland, to be not only a possibility but a probability, if the United States will take these colonies. Mr. France prepared a reservation to the peace treaty, under which the United States would take over the colonies as her one-fifth of the German overseas possessions which, he says, is granted this country by the teracy. He would have the former German colonies developed under the tutelage of the United States and opened up as lands of opportunity for the educated Negroes of this country. CHICAGO OPENS SPLENDID HOTEL (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Dec. 3.—The Hotel Vincennes, the most elaborate and modern hotel in the country for colored patronage, has been opened to the public, and is now one of the show places of Chicago. The building has more than 200 rooms, with telephone in each room; beautiful parlors and dining rooms, fine lobby and everything necessary to make the traveling public comfortable and happy. PROTEST JIM CROWING IN CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY New York, Dec. 3.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, have made public an emphatic protest sent to President Wilson against race segregation in the Congressional Library in Washington. The protest asserts that colored people have been excluded from the public restaurant of the library and that colored employees have been segregated in the lynch room. "We desire most emphatically to protest," says the letter to President Wilson, "against the'policy adopted by those in charge of the Congressional Library of denying to colored em- Use Ivory Furniture Polish If Your Car is shabby, cloudy or dull cost of refinishing the body—get a bottle use it according to the directions that go If Your Car is shabby, cloudy or dull... you are even figuring the cost of refinishing the body—get a bottle of IVORY POLISH and use it according to the directions that go with every bottle.

The college had a debt of $18,000, and this amount was wiped out, and the other money raised for improvements. WEAVER ON TRIAL FOR ARSON —FIRST RIOT CASE IN COURT (Continued From Page One.) of law and order in this community He said that everyone who participated in the riot and the burning of the court house was a hoodlum and lawbreaker whose act or acts were absolutely unjustifiable and without a vestige of excuse. NICKELS TO FLIVVERS (Dr. Burris Jenkins in Kansas City Post.) Here is a news dispatch sent to The Post by J. W. Pattee, who serves The Post as correspondent at Smith Center, Kas.—that is, Mr. Pattee sent it as a news dispatch, but concealed between its lines there is such a wonderful text for a sermon on thrift that the contribution is being borrowed from the news department. But—You're beginning to wonder what this is all about, anyway, so go ahead and read: "Smith Center, Kas., Oct. 17.—When the government first began making nickels with buffalo heads on one side, Mrs. G. P. Ehly of Mankato, Kas., started saving every buffalo nickel that came into her possession. She made a practice of dropping such nickels into a chute that ran from her kitchen to a wooden box in the cellar. A few days ago she took an invoice and found that she had 14,000 coins, aggregating $700. Her husband had long pined for a "flifver." Now he's got the "flifver." Isn't that an impressive demonstration of the value of saving small things? Doesn't it prove how easy it is for us to save money if we try? Just figure, for a minute, what the result would have been if dimes had been used instead of nickels, or quarters instead of dimes! Moreover, while we are about it, let's estimate how many, many nickels, dimes and quarters we turn loose without getting anything tangible to show where the money went. Remember now, it hasn't been so very many years since the first buffalo nickel was coined, and furthermore, bear in mind that the Kansas woman who amassed $700 worth of nickels did not handle any large aggregate of money from which to extract her small coin savings. It all goes to show that we fritter away more money each year than we are aware of, unless we stop and take invoice of ourselves and our resources, and it further impresses upon us the truth of the old saying that it isn't so much what we make, as what we save that counts. We were taught thrift during the war. Now that the war is over, suppose we practice what we learned about thrift, and let's extract a lesson from the example set us by the Kansas woman. A woman is cleaning a round table. WARNING. Most polishes have a weakness due to cheap materials they brighten and clean, but, except with careful use, they smear or gum up, or leave a deposit on their dry quickly and in time check and ruin the very surfaces they are supposed to wear when a drop accidentally is left on the surface.

THE autonomy that has come as a gift of the war to Iceland merely follows upon a former home rule granted by Denmark to the island folk in 1874. Bordering as the island does upon the arctic circle, it would seem anomalous indeed that the former home of the free-necked, all-conquering Vikings should be associated with aught but human liberty, or that the restraints and oppressions of autocratic governments should be familiar things in this little detached world. But Iceland has had its political struggles nevertheless, and from the very beginning of its history it became the refuge and sanctuary of a people seeking safety and refuge from the intolerable tyranny of a Norseman's rule. Iceland's story is really the story of the Viking, says Christian Science Monitor. In a minor degree it is associated with the mission of the Celt and Anglo-Saxon in the early diffusion of Christianity. In 1890 the Icelanders actually celebrated the thousandth anniversary of the landing of the first Christians. One is apt to picture the Viking as a sea-rover making his warship fast to that of his enemy while the shouts of the victor rise high above the clash and clang of spear and battlekx upon shield and helmet. But war was not really his occupation nor was the sea his home. He only turned to the sea for plunder and recreation when he wearied of the pastoral life. If he was a man of wealth and influence, in the old Norse country, he was certain to possess many thralls or retainers, to own a great hall and possibly a temple. In the center of the hall would be a row of fires, and against the wall the high seat or place of honor, its great pillars carved and crowned with images of Thor, Odin and Frigga. The Viking himself would be magnificently attired, his garments bound with plates of gold, and his sword, "Fire-of-the-Sea-King," in a jeweled scabbard by his side. On his neck would doubtless be a collar of engraved gold, while his flowing cloak would be edged with gold. Such, also, was the early Icelander in the early stages of his migration from the old Norse home. How Iceland Was Settled. The Vikings people the remote island deliberately, as a land where freedom awaited them. Unlike other lands it had no prehistoric history. Fire-born, it had known not even the prehistoric savage. Man's coming began, it may be said, with a woman's whim, and a Vikings' vow. It is not all told in "The Story of Harald Hairfair," and by Snorri in "Helmskringla?" How Harald sent his messengers to Gyda, daughter of Eric, King of Hordaland, with the request that she become his wife. How to them she replied that she would not, for the taking to husband of a king who had no more realm to rule over than a few folk, did not appeal to the proud princess. How Harald swore that he would not cut his hair nor comb it until he had gotten to himself all Norway, "with the seat thereof and the dues," How after years of strenuous effort and warfare he brought all Norway under a sway that was to be feared wherever the Norse tongue was spoken. How he solemnly bathed and cut his hair, held a feast, and wedded the exacting but now triumphant Gyda, queen of the world within her ken. That was ten centuries ago, when Harald introduced to Norway that centralization and consolidation of power which was to make of him a tyrant and a blight upon the ambitions of the nobles who felt the weight of his sway. The freemen resisted as long as they could. Beaten again and again in fight, many of them withdrew from the land of their birth, preferring exile with their accustomed liberties to a vassalage which was an outrage to the free-born. Discovered by Naddodd. Thus began the incursions and excursions of the Vikings. The fair-haired warriors of the North spread themselves over many lands, even in far-off Byzantium. For centuries the coast and river hamlets of England, Scotland and Ireland were constantly on the alert in case of depredations and sudden descents. The distant lava peaks of Faroe ultimately became the homes of those who dared not return to Norway, until at last one of their number, the Viking Naddodd, left the isles and was driven by contrary winds in sight of the snow-capped peaks of Iceland. A landing was effected, but Naddodd found no trace of human beings. Christening the newly discovered country Snaeland, he immediately took his departure. Four years later, in 864, came Gardar, a Swedish Viking, who was the first to circumnavigate the island. He rechristened the land Gardar's Holm. Then came Flokl, who found his way to the island by the aid of ravens, and who gave to the then inhospitable land the present chilly name of Iceland. Reykjavik, the "smoking Creek," now the principal town, was recognized from the earliest times as an unfortunate location for a settlement and a capital. The original colony was settled here by Ingolfr Arnarson, a high-born Jarl of Norway, who left his native land in the company of his foster-brother, Hjorleifr, ten years after the descent of Floki upon its shores. Within 60 years from the coming of Ingolfr, the population of the island is said to have numbered over 60,000. So much land, however, had been taken by the first comers that an agreement was made by which all late comers could take only as much land as they could encompass by fire in a day. This was done by building a huge fire in the center of the lot, whence the claimant traveled in a circle as far away from the fire as he could see the smoke. Kindly and Hospitable. From this virile race, which scorned to bend the knee to Harald, the modern Icelanders are descended. They are kindly and hospitable to the stranger within their borders, while their homes are simple and quaint. Some are old dwelling places of turf and stone with an inclosed mowing patch, the sheep folds, the byre and a small garden for vegetables. The spoken tongue of Iceland is no longer heard in the Norse valleys, but in the arctic isolation of their island home the Icelanders have retained it in its ancient purity; and sagas and traditions of the remote past are as familiar as household words to the inhabitants. The government, down to the granting of autonomy, had at its head a minister, appointed by the king of Denmark, resident at Reykjavik, and responsible to the althing, or the parliament of the colony, for all acts concerning Iceland. The althing consisted of 36 members, of whom 30 were elected by the people and six by the crown. It was elected every two years, and was divided into two chambers, of which the upper was composed of six elected and six appointed members, while the lower consisted of 24 elected members. The king of Denmark had the nominal right of vetc. In 1911 suffrage was extended to women and servants, and the right is now possessed by all competent adults. The revenue of the country is derived almost entirely from customs. Elementary education is well provided for, and the number of illiterates is remarkably small. The boat life of Siam is extremely interesting. Business and pleasure, health and happiness, all center in the river or its branches. A boat and a paddle are almost as natural and indispensable possessions to a Siamese as his arms or legs. He has no notion of traveling any distance except by boat, and the idea of living in a place inaccessible by water generally strikes him as absurd. Three weeks to come down stream with a full cargo, a week to dispose of it and indulge in the gayeties of the capital, four or five months to get back with the emptied boat, and the rest of the year for farm work at home—such is the program of many a Siamese family. Siam's Boat Life. THE MONITOR Aline and her brother attended a birthday party of a playmate. Ice cream, cake and lemonade were served. The boy asked for a glass of water. "Drink your lemonade," Aline said, interrupting. "I don't want lemonade. I want water," said the boy, looking pleadingly at his hostess. "Don't be silly. Drink your lemonade," said Aline.

Oo a THE ROOSEVELT UBELD I BELIEVE in honesty, sincerity and the square deal; in making up one’s mind what to do—and doing it. I believe in fearing God and taking one’s own part. I believe in hitting the line hard when you are right. I believe in speaking softly and carrying a big stick. I believe in hard work and honest sport. I believe in a sane mind in a sane body. I believe we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. 4 NO, THANK YOU! NOT OURS, BUT YOURS pe World-Herald which is seldom caught napping published on the first page of its issue of Sunday, No- vember 23, under the heading, but not in box car letters, “Give Negro Twenty Years for Attacking Child,” the following item: “Orrie Brown, alias Barnard, Negro, ‘was sentenced Saturday afternoon to twenty years: in the penitentiary by District Judge Day for an attack on 7-year-old Ella Sundell last July. The sentence followed overruing of a mo- tion for a new trial.” This was the case to which The Monitor referred three weeks ago, when we called attention to the marked contrast between reports of crimes or alleged crimes by Negroes and whites in the daily press. Brown's heinous crime, the assault of a 7-year- old child, was reported with such a modest headline, that it searcely at- tracted attention. Brown is white. Had he been a Negro, we know what box car type would have been used to have proclaimed the fact of his crime and to call attention to his race. We are charitable enough to believe that the dailies do not mean to be unfair in this matter, but the fact that they are is indisptuable. Striving to be a Christian, we are hoping and praying for the conversion of American dalies that their eyes may be open to see the injustice of this method. We have faith to believe that they will event- ually come to see the light and that there will be attendant amendment of life. But now here comes Omaha’s “great religious daily,” as someone has named it, the World-Herald, and wishes to present us with a degenerate of the white race. No. thank you! He is not ours, but YOURS. Keep him. Our vicarious burden is already heavy enough. Not only do we have to carry the burden of those who really belong to the black race, but also of those who blacken their faces and lay the blame on us. When the degenerates are known to be WHITE, for heaven's sake, or the other place's sake, please keep them. Be it said to its credit that the World-Herald promptly published a correction on the front page of Mon- day’s edition and again on an inside page of Tuesday's edition, thus mak- ing full atonement for its original aca WOOD FOR PRESIDENT soe months ago The Monitor mod- estlv suggested that Major Leon- ard B. Wood would be—no pun intend- ed—an excellent choice for president of the United States to succeed his excellency, Woodrow Wilson. We said that the republican leaders would make no mistake, in our humble opin. ion, in nominating him for this high office, What we then whispered has become a loud voice, for we note with gratification that a campaign for Gen- eral Wood's nomination has been launched. A strong sentiment favor- ing his candidacy is sweeping over the country. We hope that this senti- ment may become so strong and irre- sistible that it will lead to General Wood's nomination for this high dig- nity and responsible office. His nomi- nation by the republican party will ‘be tantamount to his election; for the handwriting on the wall foretells the return to power of a republican ad- ministration, While there are indica- tions that a third party might be a ‘welcome possibility for many who are ‘not satisfied with either of the two ‘old parties, the democratic or the re- ‘publican, but cannot as yet bring ‘themselves to espouse socialism, the ‘coming political power—there is little bility of such a new third party ene ‘a factor to be reckoned with for the next three or four years, Th cen. therefore, in the next presi- “pa election will be between the two old parties, the democratic and the republican, and as to which will be svecessful there can be no doubt. ‘The republicans have several strong men whom they could put in the field, but none can surpass, if they can equal, in qualifications, General Wood, The unsettled world conditions, in which our country is sharing, demand not only a statesman, but a soldier in ‘the presidential chair. America in 'this time of turmoil and readjust- ment needs a man of strength and vision. Such a man is Leonard B. Wood. With Rooseveltian spirit and ideals, which incarnate our republic's truest self, Wood unites poise, cool- ness, deliberation, firmness and a well balanced sense of justice which char- acterize the truly great military lead- er. Trained as a civilian and follow- ‘ing an eminently successful career as a physician until the Spanish-Ameri- ‘can war called him to military life in ‘which he rapidly rose to distinetion, the civilan ad miltary viewpoints hap- pily blend in him and give him a breadth of view which is denied the man who follows only one career, To whatever duty he has been called Leonard B. Wood has fully measured up to the demands made upon him. | The Monitor believes that many of ‘the principles advocated by the so- cialist party must be adopted and put into practice by the American people before the problems confronting this country will be happily solved. Wheth- er the republican party, which was in the beginning the party of the com- mon people, can be sufficiently liber- ated from the influences which largely dominate it to accept these principles and policies which so vitally affect the interests of the common people, is open to question. We sincerely hope it may and again become the party of the common people, of the masses rather than of the classes, This op- portunity confronts it, as it is about to be recalled to national control by the people, Its future place in Amer- ican political life depends upon the wisdom it can bring to bear upon meeting the conditions, perilous and exacting, of reconstruction facing us and projecting themselves into the coming years. Much depends upon the man called to the presidency. The man who in The Monitor’s judgment will fully measure up to the job is the well-balanced, true and tried, God- fearing statesman and soldier, Gen- eral Leonard B. Wood. SUPPORTING THE RACE PRESS. es Mid-West Labor News in its issue of November 28 has an in- teresting editorial headed “Does La- bor Need Its Own Press?" The article calls attention to alleged misrepre- sentation of labor interests by the daily press and cites a specific in- stance, which it stigmatizes “as an example of the desperation of the con- trolled press to poison the minds of the public against the labor union.” From this “example” of misrepre- sentation it points the following moral: “The moral to the workers is plain, If you would have the truth told about your cause, if you would have the gen- eral public know for what you stand and for what you are striving, you must lend your efforts to building up a labor press that will be able to cope |with the propaganda of the interests jthat are seeking to destroy organized jabor, This labor press must be so powerful that it will not only reach the workers—who know the truth about themselves—but the general [public as well. ‘This result can only be accomplished by the earnest, intel- |ligent, active and persistent co-opera- tion of every man and woman wh¢ works,” Our contemporary in cogently point- ‘ing ont the need for a labor press plainly sets forth the reasons for sup: porting our race press. Like the labor press, our own race “must be 80 pow. erful that it will not only reach (Ne | groes)—who know the truth abou THE MONITOR themselves—but the general public as well.” The demand for a fearless, sane, dignified, well-edited press to tell the truth about our cause and to cope with the anti-racial propaganda be- ‘coming more virulent every day is growing more insistent every hour. Support and upbuild your own press. SCOTT'S APPRECIATION hee J. SCOTT'S appreciation lof the uplifting work of the Epis- copal church in providing an edu- cated ministry and developing an edu- cated pew, as expressed by him in a recent notable speech which was pub- lished in last week's issue, gains in value when it is recalled that Dr. Scott, who looms so large in national American life, belongs to another communion. It takes a big man to unselfishly give credit where credit is due. Dr, Scott’s words are timely for the Episcopal church in its last general convention has authorized a budget of more than $2,000,000 for aggressive educational, social and evangelical work among Negroes and has made this a factor in its nation- wide campaign which is now being waged. As Dr. Scott well states whatever advances the religious and educational standards and status of the race is of vital interest to all. DAILY NEWS IMPROVES Ape Monitor has been severe in its criticism of the yellow journal methods of the Omaha Daily News in its reports of crimes and alleged crimes by Negroes. Our criticism was fully merited. It gives us great pleas. ure to call attention to the fact that for the last two months there has been a decided improvement in this matter on the part of the Daily News. Nothing objectionable has appeared in its columns. It has given facts with- out sensationalism, either in head- lines or subject matter. We commend the Daily News for its changed atti- tude and we have taken opportunity to personally thank its editor in chief Joseph Polear, for its new policy which means so much to us as & peo- ple and which we hope to see con- tinued. THE COAL SITUATION E you would not be cold, use econ- ‘omy and discretion in your use of coal—when you can get it. It is to be hoped that the coal situation may speedily improve or, if it does not, our Heavenly Father will graciously send us such mild weather as may minimize suffering. THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. (pee President’s message does not measure up to the standard of his former state papers. It betrays a de cline in power of vigorous expression in which Mr, Wilson has been ac- claimed preeminent, Evidently our president is a disappointed and heart- sick man, His message discloses this by its perfunctoriness, Written as @ duty and not as a labor of love wedded to duty, it Jacks that heartiness of conviction which has characterized others of his messages which indeed have been great documents. This message is greater, perhaps, in what {t omits than in what it says. It omits mention of the peace treaty, upon which the president has set his heart, except a covert attack upon congress for its failure to ratify it; of the Mexican question, which fs acute; and of several other pressing problems. Among its constructive features. how- ever, in which it is not wholly want- ing, are the recommendations for a budget system, a tariff for the chem- ical industry and better labor condi- tions, Its pronouncement for orderly government is timely. A clarion note is sounded in the closing words: “The Instrument of all reforms in America is the straight road of justice to all classes and conditions of men.” (By The Associated Negro Press) Social Unrest—Cause and Effect. It is quite unfair for the students of economic progress to saddle all the cause of “social unrest” among the people of our group on the distribu tion of propaganda and sedition. As a matter of cold fact, the entire world is topsy-turvy in the matter of social conditions. ‘There has been a univer- sal awakening to the fact that certain so-called “superior” groups have been holding the fron heel of oppression on ‘the heads, feet and hands of many so- sited “inferior” groups, and it is now generally realized that “superiority” fand “inferiority” are merely matters of opportunity and environment. | Therefore, the attorney general of the United States in making a report on radicalism and sedition, as reflect- ed by our publications has seemed to view the subject entirely from the viewpoint of one who is willing to ad- mit himself “superior” and the 15,- 000,000 of our group must necessarily be “inferior,” with limited and well de- fined aspirations, ‘There come to the executive offices of The Associated Negro Press prac- ‘THE PERISCOPE. tically all of the publications of the race, Their editorials, news stories and headlines are carefully scrutiniz- ed, It can be truthfully stated that, with put one or two exceptions, while ithe majority of the publications are now “crying from the housetops” the things that they are crying against, are the things that we fought against on the bloody battlefields of France; [the things that the publications are demanding are simply the rights and privileges of American citizens. Are we entitled to them? If not, why not? ‘The present unfortunate state of bit- terness of so many people against so many of the whites is due to the fact that so many of the whites will not be fair and square in dealing with us. However, we must always be willing to co-operate with those who are will- ing to be fair, and by the same token, the white people must also realize, re- gardless of the past, we are willing to meet them half way, we are not such terrible terrors. Ask the French peo- ple—they know. “Cares On! Carry On!” You remember the story of the haunted house, the man who tried to tarry there, the succession of cats, each one larger than the other, the last one always saying: “Let’s go xet jim.” and the others replying, “We can’t do nothin’ ’til Martin comes.” The nerve of that lonely brother failed him, and he finally, running out exclaimed, “When Martin comes, tell him I've done been here and gone.” ‘The times are changed! We, as ® group of American citizens, take the place of the “lonely brother;” the scheming, designing, prejudiced, in- sistent, inconsistent, unreasonable, steadily growing smaller group of whites represent the various sizes of cats that come into the pathway of our liberty and progress, But we are sitting up with them and waiting for “Martin,” Sizes and numbers do not frighten us any more. We are going to stick and carry on, carry on! We are going to carry on our fight for equal justice and opportunity, and we will be guided only by the eternal principles of right. We know what they are, and we know that we know what they are, and we know that all the other folks know that we know what they are, and we propose to carry on, carry on! We will not be sidetracked, “yanfoozled” or frightened, ‘Today we are doing the seemingly impossible things. We are going for- ward In every avenue of American progress—economic, political and s0- cial—and fighting the demon Preju- dice every inch of the way. We are what we are, because we have been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. If we have made progress, and we have, it has been by the stern edicts of merit and necessity—there is no sentiment in the transactions. All these things, wherever we are, in whatever line of endeavor, we must realize in the conerete, and govern ourselves accordingly. We must take heart and know that we are farther along in life’s pathway than yesterday, and we must carry on carry on without ceasing. EGYPT SECURES 4 CONSTITUTION Malta Secures Local Self-Government Unrest and Agitation Bearing Fruit. London, Dee. 3.—A constitution for Egypt and local self-government for Malta, both of which were announced November 29, are designed to meet the unrest in those countries, which have been demanding application to them- selves of the seif-determination | theory. ‘The extreme Egyptian Nationalists ‘demand complete independence, and | Cairo messages say the cabinet has re- ‘signed as an answer to Field Marshal |Allenby’s statement of the British plans. One of the Egyptian complaints has |been that Great Britain has published ‘its intention to maintain a protector- ate, but has kept the Egyptians in the Jeane regarding what is meant by a protectorate and how it is to be car- ‘red on. Great Britain’s action in pre- ‘venting an Egyntian Nationalist dele- gation from going to the Paris con- \ference has been another cause for complaint. | Another sign of the times is that a ‘group of Burmese, with the support of former British Burman officials, have ‘begun agitation for including Burma in the new measures of self-govern- ‘ment which the Montague scheme will \give India.

OMAHA ATTORNEYS ADMITTED TO PRACTICE Attorney Ailey W. Lewis, formerly of Denver, Colo., and Noah W. Ware, who appeared before the state board of examiners at Lincoln Wednesday, November 26th, have been duly admitted and licensed to practice in both the state and federal courts. Mr. Lewis, who is a graduate of the university of Colorado and other institutions of learning, was a successful practitioner in Denver for five years when, on account of his health, he had to abandon his practice. He is a gentleman of the first rank, of broad culture, excellent character and splendid ability and is a decided addition to the legal fraternity of Omaha.

For the last three years we have asked the ministers for an offering in their churches, but never in the history of the home have we received so much money, and such a liberal supply of groceries as we did this year. We would like to be able to publish the name of every one who contributed, but space will not allow. Money given by the churches was as follows: St. John's A. M.

Rhonenee and her sister, Mrs. Marie Pierce, were very pleasantly surprised Thanksgiving by a visit from their mother, Mrs. E. Welch and sister-in-law, Mrs. Walter Welch, both of Kansas City, also their sister, Mrs. Hazel Brisco, from Des Moines. Mr. Andrew Carter is still confined to the hospital. Mrs. R. V. Robinson and Miss Hazel Steward are both confined to their homops on account of sickness. On account of the shortage of fuel, next Sunday, Sunday school will be held at 5 p. m., Christian Endeavor at 6 p. m., and preaching at 8. In the morning everybody is urged to attend services at the Omaha churches. Rev. M. D. Johnson, pastor of Beulah Baptist church, reports good services all day Sunday. The church is doing nicely under his efficient leadership. Miss Gertrude Osborne will give a recital on December 25th at Beulah Baptist church. Miss Osborne is one of the leading women of the Nebraska convention. Rev. M. D. Johnson will leave very soon to resume his studies at Western College, Macon, Mo. While he is away his pulpit will be filled by Rev. Fant. Rev. J. P. Jackson of Tabernacle Baptist announces that on account of the fuel shortage next Sunday he will only hold one service, that in the evening.

The national bugaboo, the "H. C. of L." has become the "H. C. or E.", the "E" representing "Everything," and numerous authorities have laid down tactics for fighting it. Among the best are those from the pen of Thomas L. Masson, appearing in the Country Gentleman, as follows: "Economy in *a*. household consists in minimizing the nonessentials. That is, economize in the things you don't need, and the things you do need will take care of themselves. Remember this: that if you are on the right road what you don't need today is often what you thought you must have yesterday. Economy is a point of view just as extravagance is. No matter who you are or what you do, you can get along on what you have and be happy. Those people who are always worrying about money are the ones who are always wanting things they don't need. Here are a few rules that members of every household should keep in mind: "The more you want *a* particular thing the more you should wait until the day after tomorrow before getting it. "Making an impression on others is often robbing the future; beside, in some mysterious manner everybody knows when you are doing things that you cannot afford. "Pay the highest for the best, not the lowest for the worst. "When you shrink from knowing where you stand you need a guardian. where you stand you need a guardian. "The things that money buys are incidental when you cannot afford to buy them. "When you find it necessary to economize on having the right kind of good time, then there is something wrong with your system. "Buy what you can't afford only when you can afford it." "My wife is mourning the loss of a $10,000 necklace." "Why don't you advertise a thousand reward and no questions asked?" "Well, I could make good on the thousand, but I doubt about my wife's ability to fulfill the rest of the contract."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss I.

Can stay over one night.—Bach.” ‘This was the telegram that Nelson Wright received at his office and in- stantly the dull day was transformed. (He sprung to his feet briskly and snatched up the telephone receiver, | calling in turn three close male friends who were favorite chums. | If there was anybody in the world “whom Nelson particularly liked it was | this electrifying “Bach.” Joyfully he hailed one and each of his chums. “I've told you about Bach, Well, he'll be “here today, so hold yourself open for / supper." | He had known Bach for two years “when he was working in the city. When Nelson returned to his home town and put out his shingle as a budding attorney he had kept up a regular correspondence with this prince of good fellows. He had known that Bach was off on a jaunt for a month and was duly delighted to learn that ‘on his way home he would stop over at Springdale. Bach, as Verne Dayton was famil- Jarly designated, was not over twenty- five but was an avowed woman hater ‘and confirmed society hermit. Out- side of that he was the most munifi- cent and jovial of hosts and enter- tainers. Chet as well as host, Bach had be- | come an expert In the preparation of dishes that wonld appeal to the most critical of bon vivants, The little kitchen of the suite was his kingdom half the evening, while he pottered | around with every latest accessory of cookery to provide perfect meal. | “Bless the better sex!” he was wont, to observe chivalrously, “but none tn my blasted life. Think of it, fellows; from ten to sixteen the special victim of a parsimonions step-mother whose | cooking was sparse as was it sloppy. I recall mackerel every day drowned | In a greasy gravy that even the files | wouldn't touch. Evenings, inevitable end unvaried yellow corn meal and molasses, After my father’s death I was relegated to an aged aunt. Poor soul! She did her best but she had no more appetite than a bird and forgot that I had one, I was literally starved to death, At nineteen I was alone In the world and thrown upon that deso- late rock of refuge, a cheap boarding house, Do you wonder, when I made @ lucky hit in business and had the means to do as I liked I eschewed cooks and became fastidious as to cookery? True, there are some meals to be had for a smnall fortune, but give me my own frying pan at my own fire- side and I am content.” | Bronzed, clear eyed, bright faced, It | was a little after noon when Verne en- | tered Nelson's office to receive a hearty | welcome. “Had the time of my life!” declared Verne in his boyish, wholesome way. “A tent, a campfire, nature, and cook- ery to my individual taste.” “We want some more of it,” re- | turned Nelson fondly, “right here, in | this town, and tonight. I've invited | three friends who have heard of your | wonderful culinary genius. See here, | iny mother and sister are away in the next town for a couple of days, I'm | going to give you the key to fhe house and T want you to get and prepare the | Ingredients for one of your famous | welsh rarebit treats.” | “Well, I'l do just that!” answered | Verne with animation, “It will seem | good to get back to a real home | kitchen.” At five o'eleek that afternoon Lorena | Wright returned home, She paused in | surprise ax she noticed that the | kitchen window was open and, adorned | with one of her aprons and fluttering | ahout table and stove, was the self- constituted cook, He observed her and looked startled and then sheepish, | but’ the sweet smile on Lorenia’s face | as he revealed who he was and his mission, not only restored her com- placency, but presented the unspoken opinion that his chum's sister wax worth looking at twice. The invited guests arrived, the rarebit was really a work of art, and Verne was invited to supper the next evening. “T have got a new delicacy I wish to try,” explained Lorena, and Verne somehow was glad to protract his stay. When a puzzling new dish was set on the table the next evening he dis- patched his share with all the appre- ciation of a delighted connoisseur. s"T never enjoyed such a refection!” he insisted enthusiastically. “What is ft, Miss Wright?” “Pig in blankets they call it,” ex- plained Lorena. “Shall I give you the recipe?

All of the sand and gravel in the barrel should be thrown away and renewed at regular intervals, lame Stil) Used as Burden Bearer, Dogs and lamas were the only ani- mals known to have been used for con- veying burdens by the Indians, prior to the advent of white men in the western hemisphere.
