MAJOR JOHN LYNCH ENDORSES WOOD'S CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENCY MAJOR JOHN LYNCH ENDORSES WOOD'S CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENCY Well-Known Retired Army Officer, Ex-Congressman, Distinguished Author and One of the Most Influential Members of Race, Commends Monitor Editorial—Served Under General in Cuba—Speaks From Twenty Year's Personal Acquaintance of Candidate's Qualifications. "His Administration Will Be Broad, Liberal, Fair and Just to All Races, Classes and Groups of Which Our Citizenship Is Composed," Declares Lynch. MAJOR JOHN R. LYNCH, who has had a most distinguished and honorable public career for a half century as congressman, auditor of the navy, army officer and author, and has a wide acquaintance with public men, and is therefore in a position to speak with authority, most heartily endorses the candidacy of Major General Leonard Wood for the nomination for the presidency. Major Lynch speaks from a personal acquaintance with General Wood of more than twenty years, under whom he served as army officer when Wood was military governor of Cuba. Writing from Chicago, where he now resides, under date of December 11, Major Lynch, commending The Monitor's editorial gives cogent reasons for General Wood's nomination which he hopes will be by acclamation. He writes: "Dear Father Williams: serve under him as an army officer while he was the military governor of Cuba. It will not be denied that that country never had a better administration than it had under General Wood. "General Wood does not pose as the special friend and champion of any one race, class or group, but he believes in giving every one a square deal, regardless of race, color or nationality, and that is all we ask, expect or desire. Racial proscription and official segregation will neither be countenanced nor tolerated by him. In matters of official recognition the rule by which he will be governed will be merit and not race, fitness and not color. In other words no race or color line will be drawn by him or by any one else officially connected with his administration. His administration will be broad, liberal, fair and "I write to congratulate you upon and thank you for the splendid editorial in The Monitor of the 4th inst., in support of General Leonard Wood for president of the United States. In this I assure you that you have made no mistake. I have known General Wood favorably and well for nearly twenty years, and can therefore speak of him from personal knowledge and contact. "For president of the United States we would have in General Wood the right man in the right place. "Some say that we ought not to have a military man for president. We have had a military man for president immediately succeeding every war in which our country has been engaged. Why not follow that custom now, in view of the indisputable fact that we have in General Wood a man that will measure up to the requirements of the occasion in every particular? "The present abnormal conditions growing out of the recent world war render it imperative that we place in the presidential chair a man of the experience, ability and calibre of General Wood. He is not merely a military man. He has demonstrated remarkable and splendid executive and administrative ability and capacity in every station he has been called upon to fill. It was my good fortune to so the Devil Major John Roy Lynch, U. S. A., Retired. THE MONITOR serve under him as an army officer while he was the military governor of Cuba. It will not be denied that that country never had a better administration than it had under General Wood. "General Wood does not pose as the special friend and champion of any one race, class or group, but he believes in giving every one a square deal, regardless of race, color or nationality, and that is all we ask, expect or desire. Racial proscription and official segregation will neither be countenanced nor tolerated by him. In matters of official recognition the rule by which he will be governed will be merit and not race, fitness and not color. In other words no race or color line will be drawn by him or by any one else officially connected with his administration. His administration will be broad, liberal, fair and just to all races, classes and groups of which our citizenship is composed, whatever their race, color, nationality or religion, provided they are true and law-abiding Americans. He believes in national supremacy, human rights and manhood suffrage, because he will see that every American citizen is protected in the exercise and enjoyment of his civil and political rights at home as well as abroad, as far as it may be in the power of the chief executive to do so. Leonard Wood is the man of the hour. His nomination and election will be to the colored American a new emancipation. It will give him new hope, encouragement and inspiration. It will strengthen and increase his loyalty to his country and his devotion to the flag and to our American institutions'. Let us hope that popular sentiment in the party will be so thoroughly concentrated upon General Wood that the name of no other candidate will be presented to the convention and that he will be nominated by acclamation. Very truly yours, New York, Dec. 12.—As part of of its work, the section on music of the department of religious education of the Young Women's Christian Association is compiling a book of Negro melodies suitable for girls' voices.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 18, 1919 SOUTHERN NEWSPAPER MAN, MANAGING EDITOR OMAHA BEE, SUPPORTS MONITOR'S CHARGE OF ROBBERY OF NEGRO FARMERS IN 1917 Taylor Kennerly, a brilliant southern newspaper man, was on the staff of the New York Evening Post of which publication Oswald Garrison Villard, grandson of William Lloyd Garrison and treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, was for so many years the editor-in-chief. Mr. Villard retired from The Evening Post some months ago to devote his time to the publication of The Nation. The policy of The Post during Mr. Villard's editorship was most friendly to the Negro. It was the one great New York publication which fearlessly championed the Negro's cause. Then, too, it is noteworthy that in 1917 the United States entered the world war. The Negro was needed. Newspapers, north and south, were sounding his praises. There was a vast deal of truth telling about the mistreatment of the Negro in the United States and especially in the South. Conscience-smitten, America pleaded eloquently for a square deal to the most loyal of her citizens, the black American. The patriotic press, and especially that portion of it which was friendly to the Negro, sought writers who knew the truth about southern conditions and specifically the causes underlying the exodus from the south, and employed such writers to prepare articles to carry out the policy of the paper in bringing such facts to the attention of the discerning public. Newspapers have a policy. It is the duty of members on the staff to carry out that policy. The Post could not have secured a more competent writer than Taylor Kennerly, formerly managing editor of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, to prepare a series of articles on "The Negro Exodus From the South." Three articles written by Mr. Kennerly, under this caption and published in The Post of May 25, and June 2 and 9, throw such a flood of light upon the conditions responsible for the so-called "Negro uprising against the whites" at Elaine, Arkansas, a few weeks ago and for which eleven Negroes were sentenced to death in SEVEN MINUTES and more than sixty others were given life or long-time sentences in the penitentiary, that their republication will prove timely, interesting and instructive. In this connection, it will be recalled that The Monitor's special correspondent, who gave the facts about the Elaine "uprising," stated that "The Negro Farmers' Protective Association" had been formed to seek legal redress against a system of robbery of which they had been victims at the hands of unscrupulous whites for years. Mr. Kennerley's articles, and the fact must not be overlooked that they are from the pen of a southern white man who would much rather write a different story, fully corroborate The Monitor's position. Mr. Kennerly has for the past year been managing editor of the Omaha Bee, which also evidently has a policy. His articles as published in The New York Evening Post will be republished in The Monitor under the exact headings given them in the original publication. They are articles worthy of preservation. Here is the first: THE NEGRO EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH Southern Newspaper Man Discusses the Phenomenon Which Is Giving the Old South Cause for Deep Anxiety-How Half a Century of Economic and Social Oppression Is Bearing Natural Fruit FIRST OF A SERIES OF ARTICLES By TAYLOR KENNERLY. "LABOR agents working in Alabama $250 county license. The State letter to all of the county license office collecting this tax or apprehending the of Negroes or others without the license 1915. "The duty of collecting this license and the State Equalization Board has ing to bring about a more rigid enfo charged against each agent and all of "F. C. Marquis, member of the Ed Jefferson and Walker Counties, and a State has been hard hit by the emigrant about through the operation of labor its assistance to the county authoritiy yield a larger revenue to the State." LABOR agents working in Alabama will be required to pay $500 state and $250 county license. The State Equalization Board has addressed a letter to all of the county license officers urging them to greater activity in collecting this tax or apprehending those who seek to induce the immigration of Negroes or others without the license required under the Revenue Act of 1915. "The duty of collecting this license tax devolves upon the license officers, and the State Equalization Board has been working for some time, attempting to bring about a more rigid enforcement of the statute. The license is charged against each agent and all of his sub-agents equally. "F. C. Marquis, member of the Equalization Board, returned Friday from Jefferson and Walker Counties, and states that the industrial section of the State has been hard hit by the emigration of Negroes to the North, brought about through the operation of labor agents, and that the Board will give its assistance to the county authorities to break up the practice or make it yield a larger revenue to the State." The above article was printed on the front page of the Montgomery Advertiser, one of the oldest and best newspapers of the Old South, Saturday, May 12. To the average reader this small item means little or nothing, but to one born and reared far below the Mason-and-Dixon line and who knows that, next to the present war, the "Negro Exodus" is alarming certain sections of the South today more than any issue with which it has been confronted since the days of the Civil War, its meaning is very significant and far-reaching. Geia, Florida, and the Carolinas—cannot understand is why the white man of these States cares what the Negro does, whether he remains a resident of their particular State or moves away to Chicago, Boston, New York, or some other place. Taking Alabama as an example, this State having lost 40,000 or 50,000 Negroes through emigration to the North and East in the past year, which is more than some and less than other States, possibly no better explanation could be given than the following statement of the Hon. W. T. Robertson, present Mayor THE SOUTH "OWNS THE NEGRO." First of all it means the Old South still feels that "these Negroes down here are our Negroes, always have been, always will be, and you folks up North and East must let them alone, or else the low-bred labor agents you send down here to entice them away from us must pay for his 'niggers' just the same as the man did who bought them sixty years ago. We have no use for them down here as citizens and would not think of letting them vote. But still they belong to us and no one else has any right to offer them better wages and better living conditions than we give them." What the large majority of people outside of the Old South—and when I say Old South I mean Alabama, Geor- It will be required to pay $500 state and Equalization Board has addressed officers urging them to greater activity in those who seek to induce the immigration case required under the Revenue Act of 1979 tax devolves upon the license officers, been working for some time, attempt-ment of the statute.

New York, or some other place. Taking Alabama as an example, this State having lost 40,000 or 50,000 Negroes through emigration to the North and East in the past year, which is more than some and less than other States, possibly no better explanation could be given than the following statement of the Hon. W. T. Robertson, present Mayor of Montgomery, Ala. In discussing why the Negro was quitting the farms and seeking his fortune elsewhere, he said: "There is money in farming, lots of it, but the Negro farmer has been systematically robbed by the white man since the close of the Civil War. They haven't been treated right and no one can blame them for quitting the soil. If the Negro farmers would be returned all the interest in excess of 8 per cent charged them for money advanced them, they would today be living in brownstone mansions, just as the rich white advancers do. How the Negro has been treated is borne out by an instance which happened last week. An old Negro came to me (Continued on Page 8.) COLONEL YOUNG RECÉIVES AP- POINTMENT AS MILITARY ATTACHE Liberian Government, Recognizing His Splendid Qualifications, Makes Formal Request for His Appointment. [Image of a man in a military uniform, seated in a chair, holding a sword]. Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., Who Goes as Military Attache to Liberia. Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—Colonel Charles Young, retired, the only Negro officer of the army to attain that rank, has been selected as military attache to Liberia at the request of the African republic. Some years ago Colonel Young organized the military establishment of Liberia. He was retired in 1917 for physical disability, just before 250 colonels were promoted to brigadier generals, but was called to active duty during the war, and detailed to train recruits. As the highest commissioned colored officer in the United States army and a West Pointer, Colonel Charles A. Young enjoys a very unique position in the estimation of colored America. Born in Ohio, a graduate of the High School at Ripley, Ohio, he was certified to West Point, from which institution he was graduated after a strenuous struggle against the usual odds with which a colored man has to contend. In speaking of his school days at West Point Colonel Young has often said that the harder prejudice was brought to bear against him the more North End Club Openly Advocates Segregation Formulates and Circulates Petitious Praying Mayor and Council to Arrange Certain Zones or District for the Colored and White Persons of This City. MOVEMENT FOR A "BIGGER AND BETTER OMAHA"!! THE following self-explanatory article was published last week in the North Omaha Booster, a weekly publication circulated gratuitously in the territory around Ames avenue: "The Central Park Men's Club, at a meeting last week formulated the following petition and have circulated about fifty for signatures of all interested parties. "There has been no disposition on the part of the petitioners to stir any unfriendly feeling among the population, but they feel that the situation must be taken care of for the future benefit of our city. "There were nearly one hundred members present at the meeting and al theftily endorsed the petition with spirit that it is for a 'Bigger and Better Omaha.' LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! Vol. V. No. 24 (Whole No. 233) TO LIBERIA ING RECÉIVES AP- AS MILITARY ATTACHE Recognizing His Splendid Qualifications, Request for His Appointment. Colonel determined he became to make him- y Negro self the best in everything he under- at rank took Not only did he finish the prescribed military course with honors, but also studied music and art, and has made some contributions of more than passing merit. In 1898 at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war Colonel Young organized the Ninth Ohio. He saw service in the Philippines and Mexico and was in a number of brushes with the Indians in the great West. Why he did not go overseas with the American Expeditionary Forces he will undoubtedly tell readers some day in his own language: Colonel Young has done special work for the government in Haiti; was military governor of Liberia; Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Wilberforce university. He is now restored to active duty after a retirement of several months. He offers perhaps the highest ex-ampel of courage, patience and training to the American youth of color. Colonel Young will sail for Liberia January 1. "The following is the petition that will be presented the mayor and council when the petitions are filled with names: "To the Mayor of Omaha and the Honorable City Council: "We, the undersigned citizens and voters of Omaha, Nebraska, hereby petition your honorable body to take such action as may be within your power or in some amicable manner or way, if possible, arrange certain zones or districts for the colored and white persons of this city. "There is an ever increasing disposition on the part of certain white persons for pecuniary reasons to endeavor to sell their homes in districts occupied exclusively by white persons, to colored persons. "There is no disposition on the part of your petitioners to stir any feeling between the white and colored population of this city, but on the other hand our purpose is to maintain peace and quietude by so separating in some manner the colore dand white population so that there will be no clash or interference by the white people with the colored people, or vice versa. In short, your petitioners believe it is to the best interest of both races that there be a proper separation of the districts where said races may inhabit. "Respectfully submitted." T. SNYDER FREED BY JURY ON LYNCHING CHARGE First Man to Be Tried for Lynching William Brown is Acquitted by Veniremen After a Delliberation of Nearly Five Hours — Must Now Stand Trial on Charge of Rioting. RALPH Snyder, held for murder on the charge of lynching William Brown on the night of September 28 was found not guilty by a jury in Judge Redick's court last Thursday. The jury was out for nearly five hours. Several witnesses testified that Snyder mounted the burned police patrol near the court house and said: "We have showed this nigger what a northern mob can do;" and made similar speeches at other points. He is said to have warned the mob not to carry out their threat to go north with Brown's body, because there were armed but to wait until the next night and then go out and clean up. Snyder is the first man to be tried for the actual lynching of Brown "Frogie" Howard, alleged to be with Snyder, will be soon tried on a similar charge. He stoutly denied his guilt but admitted that he was in the crowd around the court house, but took no actual part in the lynching. He admitted that he made speeches admonishing the crowd not to go to Twenty-fourth and Lake streets. Attorney Shotwell prosecuted the case with vigor, but no witnesses testified that they saw Snyder lay hands upon Brown or the rope. Although acquitted of the charge of lynching Snyder is still held to answer to the charge of rioting. CALIFORNIA GIRL LEADS CLASS OF 105 STUDENTS IN EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT Thereby Arousing Jealousy of Classmates Prior to Graduation -Defended by School Head. Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 18.—A young colored woman who, like Abou Ben Adhem, "led all the rest," is the storm center around which the board of trustees, the teachers and the pupils of Calexico, Imperial county, high school, are revolving. The colored pupil ranks highest in educational attainments among the 105 students and the white girls scholars have refused absolutely to sit on the same platform with her at the coming graduation exercises. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Will C. Wood has received a letter from the board of trustees of the school in which it is stated that these same white students have sat with the colored student for four years without objection. The opinion is expressed that the whole affair resolves itself into a matter of jealousy at the progress of the colored pupil. Separate Schools The El Centro schools are cited as having some bearing on the matter as in that Imperial county city separate grammar schools have been established for the white and the colored races. The high school problem as regards colored students never reaches El Centro, it is stated in the letter, as it is the plan to "discharge" colored students in that particular high school. The intimation is made that the problem has been imported to California by cotton growers from the southern states who will not allow their children to attend the same schools as Negroes. Job H. Wood, Jr., deputy superintendent of public instruction, has sent the following reply to the board of trustees: "We have your letter relative to graduation of pupils from your high school. Permit me to state in reply, that the state of California taxes all people alike, without reference to color or 'previous conditions of servitude,' for the purpose of maintaining its public schools. And at this time we have nothing on the statute books that separates, in any way, the colored from the white children. "The public schools are maintained for the purpose of educating the mass of humanity and making them able to meet their obligations as American citizens. The colored people of that community are taxed where they have property or they pay their rent for homes and this rent is used to pay taxes, just the same as everyone else does, and they are guaranteed their rights under the constitution and under the laws of this state. If this colored girl has done her work as the law provides, she is entitled to her diploma and her recommendation for her entrance into college or normal school and the courts will compel your school to issue this diploma. "I am glad to see that the spirit of your board is to give the colored girl her chance. If these white girls refuse to graduate with the girl with whom they have attended school through all of these years, they should go back into the public schools and have a real training for American citizenship. They must mix in the public for the future and they must meet these people, be they colored or white. "Of course, your board may arrange "Of course, your board may arrange to pass out these diplomas to all the children who are entitled to them and have no graduating exercises if they want. But, if you have graduating exercises, this girl must be recognized and be on the platform with the balance of the children and receive her diploma. "JOB H. WOOD, JR... "Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction." BUSINESS LEAGUE OPENS NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS Local Organizations to be Put on Sound Footing—Colored Bankers Co-operating With Business League Officials. Washington, D. C.—The decision reached by the National Negro Business League at its meeting held in St. Louis, Mo., in August to establish at Washington national headquarters, is being carried into effect. Arrangements have been perfected by the secretary of the league, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, whereby a portion of the Y. M. C. A. offices formerly occupied by Dr. J. E. Moorland and his staff of assistants during the war, shall be taken over and maintained hereafter as National Negro Business League headquarters. This arrangement is admirable as the Y. M. C. A. building is the center of Negro life and activity in Washington. The influences that count for most in the life of the colored people in Washington more or less radiate from the Y. M. C. A. building. The program to revive local Negro Business Leagues will be put under way at once and will be carried forward as earnestly as possible. The first movement in that direction has been to reorganize the Washington Negro Business League on the basis of $5.00 joining fee per member with dues of $10.00 per year payable quarterly with a hope that this plan will be adopted by Local Negro Business Leagues throughout the country. Forty persons have already come into the Washington League on these terms. Mr. T. J. Calloway, an experienced business man, has taken the leadership in cooperation with the secretary of the national league in reorganizing the Washington branch, and will have charge of a campaign throughout the country to put local Negro business leagues on a sound footing. Associated with them will be a live-wire office manager deeply interested in business league work, who will represent the officers of the national Negro business at headquarters and keep the correspondence of the league flowing to the remotest corners of the United States. Back of all of these efforts will be the influence and counsel of Dr. R. R. Moton, president; Dr. Robert E. Jones, chairman of the executive committee, and the whole official staff of the National Negro Business League. A group of colored bankers headed by Mr. E. C. Brown, of Brown & Stevens, bankers, Philadelphia, has agreed to co-operate with the national organization in putting this extensive business league program through. PHILADELPHIA, PA., Dec. 15. A plea for the Negro of the south was made by Archdeacon E. L. Baskerville of South Carolina, in an address at the meeting of the colored committee of the Women's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Pennsylvania. Speaking of the work of the church in the state, he said: "In our missionary schools we are touching the lives of nearly 2,000 children and the teaching in these schools has a telling effect on the lives of the children and their parents. Communities are being transformed by the influence of our missions and schools. The schools are not run in opposition to the public schools, but are doing a work which the latter are not able at present to do. It is plainly the duty of the church to assume the responsibility to give the Negro what the state is unable to give." The speaker declared that the Negro had always shown himself a law-abiding citizen when left to himself and that his merits should be recognized. "There is no more loyal citizen than the Negro," he said, "and it is important that these black people who know no other country than America should be educated in hand, heart and head to take the place of the people who are making such disturbances in our land today. We have no I. W. W. troubles in the south because the Negro is law-abiding. The south would be paralyzed without Negro labor, and let me say right here that the Negro never yet has started a riot. In all the riots in which the Negroes were involved they only showed resistance to protect themselves." Archdeacon Baskerville regretted that there was so little public sympathy for the Negro. The churches and the country poured money out on men of other races, he said, but forgot the black man in his own country. "If the people of the United States," he said, "turned as much THE MONITOR money loose on the Negro as they do on the Japanese, we would have splendid missionary results, not only in the south, but all over the country. AFRICAN PRINCE AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY Boston, Dec. 18.—Stephen Balfour Mfoaof, a prince of an African royal family, is represented among the student bod yat the college of liberal arts of Boston university. The prince's father is a farmer at Lartch, West Africa, on the Gold coast, and is engaged in raising cocoa. "Most young men from the Gold coast of Africa go to England for higher education," Mr. Mfaofo said. "The schools at home are under the English and German system. I heard so much about America at home, so we came over here instead of going to England." Mr. Mfafoo has been in America five years, doing his college "prep" work and completing his plebe year of college at Wilberforce, O. He will remain this year at the college of liberal arts of Boston university, where he is registered as a sophomore. Next year he will go to Boston University School of Medicine. Upon completing his medical course in 1924 Mr. Mfafoo plans to return to Gold Coast and practice medicine among his native people. Two of his fellow countrymen are students at Harvard university. ST.

JIM CROWED AFTER DEATH Hearse Refused to Colored Woman in Oklahoma. New York City, Dec. 17.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has made public the following extracts from a letter showing that discrimination against colored people does not end with death: "Sunday, November 16, I attended a funeral at Vinita, Okla. The undertaker would not hire his hearse to the woman as they do not allow colored people to use the same hearse that white people ride in. The one they have been using for colored people has worn out, therefore she sent to Chetopa, Kas., and hired one." When He Finds Colored Troops Were to Be Sent. (By Associated Negro Press.) Oklahoma City, Dec. 17.—Governor Robertson cancelled his request for troops to protect mine properties when he learned that two companies of Negro infantrymen were to be sent to the state from Columbus, N. M. In a message to Major General Dickman, commander of the southern division of the army at San Antonio, Tex., Governor Robertson declared these troops would only involve us in unnecessary conflict and confusion," and formally withdrew his request.

"Not that, Jimmy, not that!" Lenore had risen and put a restraining hand on his shoulder. "Charles must not lose the election. It is his right to choose his own wife. I will not complain." "What? Do you think I would let him get away with this? He is turning down the girl he won from me, the sweetest little girl in the world, one I would die for." "If you think that much of me, Jimmy, you will destroy that letter and forget that you have seen it." Jimmy's lip curled with derision. "I won't do that. I will publish it in the Star. It will be on the press in half an hour. You can't see it that way now, dear, but in a few weeks' time you will thank me for exposing this cad." "You must not publish it. I won't permit it!" Lenore faced him with flushes, seeks, determination shining from his eyes. "You can't stop me." Jimmy was just as determined; battle was shining in his eyes. In vain did Lenore threaten and plead. "He has been a cad! He deserves to be defeated, you will have to admit it!" Jimmy cried, as he saw himself triumphing. A new light came suddenly into Lenore's eyes. "He will be defeated," she cried. "I will take you to the Star in my car, so you will be sure to get there in time for an extra. I will be ready in a minute." It was just a minute later when Jimmy sat beside her in her roadster, "We will make speed," she cried, as she turned on the power. Faster and faster the little car bounded forward, whizzed past other cars and struck the open stretch by the lake. It had been speed before, but on the open stretch the car traveled at a maddening rate. Nearer and nearer the city came; faster and faster the car seemed to bound. "Almost there. Just one more mite; hang on!" Lenore gasped as they rounded another bend. A big red car loomed up in front. The little car slackened speed as they passed. Lenore recognized the occupants—Charles and the governor's daughter. "I wonder if they recognized us?" Jimmy glouted. "Yes; didn't you see the surprised look on Charles' face?" A sob cut off Lenore's voice, but it was lost in the whirl of the wind as it struck the little roadster, again traveling at full speed. "We are on the wrong road!" Jimmy suddenly realized it. "Yes, and we are going to stay on the wrong road. Hang on! There is lots of speed left! A move from you and we will both be dashed against that fence!" From sheer fright Jimmy kept his seat. It was an hour later when the car came to a halt. "Sixty miles from a telegraph office or a telephone, and the polls close in ten minutes." There was real triumph in Lenore's tone. "Now, Mr. Jimmy Davis of the Star do your worst!" "The whole thing's a failure." Jimmy sank back on the cushions with a groan of disappointment. The ride had knocked all the courage out of him. "It was all a frameup to get Floggert, but you beat us." "The letter—it. wasn't from Charles?" Lenore faced him with blazing eyes. "No; it was written by his former secretary; a good forgery." "You cadd!" All the indignation of a fiery little soul was contained in those words. Unnoticed by the two in the roadster, a big roadster had halted by their side. "What does it mean?" It was Charles. He had followed the runaway car and had heard the confession. Lenore was very brave when she told him the story, but she felt very weak and insignificant as she nestled in his arms on the homeward journey. "Brave little champion," he whispered, as he drew her very, very close. "A man couldn't lose with a sweetheart like you." By VINCENT G. PERRY (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Lakeview was just near enough to the city to be caught in the whirl of election excitement. From her little home on the hill Lenore could see the villagers stopping here and there to enter into controversy or exchange good wishes for a mutual choice. It was grand to be the fiancee of the future district attorney! The thought thrilled Lenore to her finger tips. Away in the city she knew Charles Floogert, the man of her choice, was working as he had never worked before—working for the good of the community, for her and the ideals he held dear. If they all knew Charles as she knew him, he would not lose a vote; she felt sure of it. From the very day she had entered his office as stenographer she had learned to respect him, and now love was mingled with that respect. He had insisted that she take a rest the last month of his campaign, as they planned to be married soon after the election. Now she wished she had insisted upon staying by his side to see the fight to the finish. A special Sunday supplement lay open at her side. There, in a large four-column cut, was a picture of Charles with the governor's daughter by his side. "Candidate for District Attorneyship and His Most Enthusiastic Campaigner," it was headed. Lenore knew that no one could be a more enthusiastic campaigner for Charles than she had been; but she was not jealous of the governor's daughter, she told herself. It was all in the campaign—part of a big game. Up the hill she could see a messenger boy wending his way. With that strange instinct which messenger boys usually arouse, she scented at once 1930 Faster and Faster, the Little Car Bounded Forward. that he was carrying a message for her. Sure enough he was—from Charles. She opened the note with fervent haste almost before she had signed for it. It had been dashed off in a hurry, she could tell by the shaky letters, but they were the same large open letters that distinguished Charles' penmanship. "Dear Lennox, "I cannot let you come down to meet me tonight after the returns, for I have a confession to make: I love some one else, dear. She will be at my side tonight. The governor's daughter has promised to become my wife as soon as you will set me free from my promise. It is to your influence I owe my success today, Lenore, but I know you will not stand in my light, and will forgive me. Believe me to be always, "Your friend, "CHARLES." Poor Lenore sank to a chair, hardly able to believe what she read. Surely she had read it wrong. But no! Even through the tears she could read the same hard, cruel words. Her head swam dizzily, everything went black and she felt herself slipping. "Lenore, open your eyes; speak to me. It is Jimmy!" It was some minutes later when these words brought Lenore to her senses. Before she opened her eyes she could feel a man's arm tight around her and her head resting upon his shoulder. Jimmy! After all those months! It felt good to have some one there—some one who would understand. On Jimmy's shoulder she wept out the whole story. Jimmy took the letter and it for himself. "He hissed. "The dirty, and!" "will be at his side tonight," "Jimmy cried. "To see him proclaimed district attorney! Not by a jungle! It isn't too late to lose the election yet. He has reckoned without Jimray Davis of the Star. This letter on a front page extra will cook his jellies. "Jilts woman who has made him what he is for governor's wealthy heirness."

They maintained that there was no such movement on foot. They knew better; for they themselves have, knowingly and designedly, been giving encouragement to the movement. They know The Monitor is right in its position and because they do not approve of our position on this and other matters they have been planning and are planning now to put another publication in the field that will be subservient to their selfish aims and short-sighted policy. Do the people want this? We believe that our people desire a paper that will fearlessly, but wisely and sanely, contend for their rights. This The Monitor has always done and will continue to do. The Monitor lays no claim to infallibility, and our policy is to be sure of the facts before taking a position and when a position is taken to defend it with vigor and candor and to maintain it at all hazards. We never shy at white stones. We know when we speak, whereof we speak and we never speak without cause. There are many things we could say and will say whenever it becomes necessary to do so. We have known for some time, not from hearsay, but from personal knowledge, that certain agencies and individuals have been scheming, planning and working to bring about segregation or enforced colonization, by which our people would be restricted to certain districts, both as to residence, business and civic privileges. The Monitor stated and reiterates the statement that it would oppose any such movement and fight any agency or individuals who sponsor such a movement. And in this opposition we are sustained by the supreme court of the United States which has rendered the decision that such segregation ordinances or "agreements" are unconstitutional and an unwarranted invasion of the personal and property rights of American citizens. We are American citizens. As a proof of the fact that The Monitor knew whereof it spoke when we stated some weeks ago that one of the local issues to be met was segregation, we call attention to the petition to the city council from the Central Park Men's Club, published in last week's issue of the North Omaha Booster, the weekly publication of the business and real estate men in the territory contiguous to Twenty-fourth street and Ames avenue. We publish it in this issue. Read it. Mark, learn and inwardly digest it. The Monitor commends the art present unknown petitioners for their frankness and honesty in giving publicity to their actions and sentiments. Other "organizations," "exchanges," improvement (?) clubs," etc., have not been equally as honest. To these latter we commend consideration of these words from Holy Scripture: "That which is hidden shall be brought to light," "and the devices of the evil shall be brought to naught." We hope that the eyes of our people and of our friends—for we have numbers of them among the dominant race—will be opened to see that there is a wholly uncalled for and unnecessary movement right here in Omaha for enforced segregation. Uncalled for, for our people are cleanly, industrious and law-abiding; unnecessary, for there is no disposition upon the part of our people for any wholesale invasion of any exclusive residential sections. But that our people have a right to purchase, own and maintain homes in any section of the city in keeping with their means and culture is axiomatic. This is a constitutional right which cannot and will not be surrendered. This must be perfectly understood. The surrender of the right of domicile carries with it the surrender of other rights. Whatever others may think about it, this is the position of The Monitor, which voices the sentiments of the red-blooded, thoughtful, self-respecting, upstanding men and women of this community. Of course this position does not suit some "grinning Georges" and "in-floo-ential profiteering) preachabs," but it does suit the rank and file who really count. Our slogan is: "No surrender of constitutional rights." Let those who stand with us on this platform speak out and rally to our standard. A STORY WITH A POINT. THE Monitor respectfully commends the following story to the attention of the Central Park Men's Club and those of like views and indulges the hope - albeit a forlorn one - that the aggregation may muster enough brains among themselves to appreciate its obvious application: "A white man was traveling through the country in Alabama, and an aged colored man was driving the mule which drew their buggy. A fly buzzed about the mule's head: "What is that?" asked the white man. "Jes' a hoss-fly," answered the colored man. "What is a horse-fly?" "Jes' a fly whut buzzes around the heads of hosses an' mules an' jackasses." Just then a similar fly was buzzing about the white man's head: "How's this, Uncle, I am not a horse am I?" "No, sir, you ain't no hoss." "Well, I do not look like a mule, do I?" "No, sir, not to me you don't." "Well, you don't mean to insinuate that I am a jackass?" "No, sir; I don't mean to 'sinuate nuthin' and I ain't called you no jackass—but, you see, you can't fool de hoss-fly." Tone who listened to the evidence in the case of Ralph Snyder, charged with conspiracy to murder in connection with the lynching of William Brown it seemed quite apparent that he was guilty, and not entitled to acquittal. The prosecution was to the effect that beyond the shadow of a doubt Snyder was a conspirator and active in encouraging the rioting. The prosecution was strong and vigorous and asked for a conviction. There was evidence which showed the criminal activity of Snyder in the mob before and after the lynching. The jury's verdict was therefore a surprise. It, however, suggests a serious question; Must it be recognized that the county attorney's office has a difficult task on its hands because many who were witnesses of the persons and events on the night of the lynching were sympathizers with the mob? However this question may be answered, we feel sure that the failure to secure a conviction in this case ought not and will not cause the authorities to cease their efforts to vigorously prosecute all who were indicted. The eyes of the world are upon the United States at this time to see if we are really in earnest to suppress lawlessness and maintain the supremacy of law, the only safeguard of civilization. And the eyes of America are now upon Omaha to see if she will vindicate her outraged honor and set a salutary example for the country. Omaha must not fail. LEADING EDITORIALS. A Real Competitor. Out in the state of California a colored girl led her large class of white students, and earned the envied place of honor student. There were quite a number of students in her class. All went well during the entire course of study. No one seemed to manifest any special interest in the successful young lady, but when the time came to distribute honors, there was an unroar among those who had been out-stripped by the young lady of color. This situation is not new. We have THE MONITOR had similar cases before, but we have not had such a demonstration of Americanism before on the part of the authorities. Some one has always weakened. But in this case there was an American who declared for the right. He did not see the color of the young woman's skin. He measured her by the rules and regulations of the school. She was not there as a Negro, but as a student in an American institution. The young woman suffered some notoriety and embarrassment, but she won. It is un-American to enter the race with any other American and whine because you lose. The race is not won until the course is run. The men who cannot stand competition will soon find this country too small for him. The girl was a real competitor. She asked nothing but the terms and condition of the contest. They were: Studiousness, a strict compliance with the rules and perfection in recitation. She entered under these conditions. So did all of them. She won, not by whining about her color, nor by asking for advantages because she is colored, but by excelling as a student. This kind of competition beats all to hollow the system adopted by the complaining, whining, begging fellow who thinks so much of his color he can not find time to compete.—The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier. What, in your opinion, should be the lowest age at which a Negro could be lynched without destroying our best traditions? Georgia, always in the van for innovation, has just completed, with its usual taste for finish, the dispatch of a nine-year-old. The boy was hauled through the streets by a rope and then carefully and chivalrous shot. Now this gives rise to several questions in the matter of lynching, and we feel that the art can take its place with other purely American customs, which, so we understand, is the envy of the whole European continent and has already taken its immortal niche in Madame Tussaud's Waxworks. Our third degree system has been brought to a perfect state. We know that our police force can be depended upon to deliver the goods and our American pride is satisfied with that department of democracy. But in our lynchings we still seem to be groping in a haphazard fashion. One state, for instance, will take up the fashion of burning a Negro in oil, another will merely hang him and then when the rope seems about ready to stifle his breath, shoot him in order to end his sufferings. This is a compromise, we feel, with the original spirit of our national conscience. Again, other parts of the republic have seen fit to declare holidays when the lynchings were larger than ordinary and women as well as men were scheduled to furnish the amusement. The latter plan, it seems to us, approaches nearer, in a spiritual way, to the best things in lynching. But there is a drawback even to this, for in the states where it has been done, while thousands were given the chance to enjoy the spectacle, the children could not be present, as the cotton mills did not close down during the executions. However, that is a mere detail and no doubt the ingenuity of our public officials will rectify the oversight. But how shall we determine the minimum age? At nine, as Georgia has selected, the Negro child, it seems to us, offers little attraction as a lynchie. In the first place, a child at that age is too easily killed and the sport ends much too quickly. Why, dragging a mere child over cobblestones is apt to kill it before the tree or lamp-post is reached and what then? Disappointment for all concerned and probably a long walk back to the house, with the dinner grown cold for practically nothing. We believe the proper way to lynch a child, assuming that the Georgian age is a good one at which to begin, would be to hand the youngster over to the white children for practice. Let them take the victim into a schoolyard, for example, where the see-saws and other toys are placed. The colored boy might be placed under one end of the see-saw, which could then be raised and allowed to fall upon his head. After he comes back to consciousness the act could be repeated until the white children tire of this, when, let us say, a good object lesson in Biblical history be adopted to bring the afternoon to a happy and satisfying end. With the proper instructors our children would then grow into manhood and womanhood with an expert knowledge of the business and be capable of getting everything out of lynching that is possible. Not only the pure joy of the whole thing, but the unquestionably, with the assistance of some ex-Y. M. C. A. directors who lost their jobs on getting back from France, the commercial instinct would be fostered and the children taught to treat a corpse in such a way that portions could be sold as souvenirs to those whose age does not permit them to attend the event. A FOR THE ADVANCE- a suggestion, a good ear or portions of the scalp, and arm or a foot might be syndicated to the Macon Telegraph, the Chattanooga Times, or the Atlanta Constitution for photographic reproduction and the children thus taught to earn their own pin money. We have no desire to be the supreme arbiter in this matter and the column is open to suggestions for the advancement and improvement of lynching. But we do believe our citizens should be taught these matters in their youth as an education fundamental. We offer this suggestion to the boards of education and to the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls. COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB BANQUETS New Organization, Which Aims to Develop and Foster Business Enterprises, Starts Out Auspiciously—Seventy of Its Membership of Eighty-four Have Dinner at South & Thompson's Cafe. The Colored Commercial Club of Omaha, an organization which has as its object "the promotion of the commercial, industrial and public interests and welfare of the city and the bringing about of a better understanding with the business and commercial interests of Omaha, has started out auspiciously with a membership of eighty-four. Seventy of the eighty-four members sat down to a well-served banquet at South & Thompson's cafe Wednesday night. The dinner was a get-together affair. E. W. Pryor, the president, briefly stated that the object of the organization. Speeches on "The Colored Man in Business;" "Public Health" and "Obligations" were made by A. P. Scruggs, Dr. J. H. Hutten and Dan Desdunes, respectively. Brief remarks were made by several other speakers among whom were Dr. W. W. Peebles, A. W. Lewis, John T. McDonald, Jr., Rufus Long, Chas. W. W. Dickerson, Murphy Lynch, Dr. John A. Singleton, Alfred Jones, Irving W. Gray and R. B. Rhodes. The invocation before dinner was said by the Rev. J. A. Broadnax. At the conclusion of the dinner the president announced the chairmen of the several standing committees of the club who will also be members of the executive committee. It was a splendid representative gathering of men, who have the ability to make a great record for our people in business and commercial activities. PIONEER CHICAGOAN DEAD. Beaureguard Mosley, well known politician and former newspaper man, died in Chicago last week after a short illness. Though aged in years, he was rugged of frame and seemed fitted by nature to be listed among the long livers of this earth. Mosley has been active in politics and things racial in Chicago ever since the days when Twenty-ninth street was considered "way out south," and up to the time of his illness was always found in the front ranks advocating the cause of his people. The recent race riot, during which he worked incessantly, is believed by the friends of Mosley to have brought on a physical breakdown which was the direct cause of his death. The old warrior, who led the advance in many scrimmage, answered the roll call for the last time. BANKINK INSTITUTION OF Savannah. Ga., Dec. 17.—Nearly a quarter of a million dollars increased assets and more than four thousand new depositors is the record for the past twelve months made by the Wage Earners' Savings bank, as shown by the annual report of L.

FIGHTS EXTRADITION FROM NEW JERSEY TO GEORGIA Hoboken, N. J., Dec. 15.—The colored citizens of Jersey City have petitioned Governor Runyon for a hearing on the case of Andrew Jackson, colored, of Jersey City, before extradition papers are signed for his removal to Georgia. Jackson was arrested at Jersey City by the sheriff of Colquitt county, Georgia, charged with the murder of a white man about four years ago. It is the desire of the Negro petitioners that the Georgia authorities guarantee New Jersey that Jackson if extradited, will meet with justice and not mob law. Attention was called to the number of lynchings in the southern state and a demand made that New Jersey take a stand against permitting this sort of lawlessness. Jackson denies the charge made against him. LOUIS WEITZENHORN Ford cars have become such a world utility that it would almost seem as if every family ought to have its Ford car.

Then the fairy queen would whisper the stories to Daddy before he told Nick and Nancy his evening tale. This was the story one of the little creatures told to the fairy who was on this trip for the fairy queen. "Hello, who are you?" asked the fairy, as she saw a quite new kind of animal. "I'm myself, who do you expect me to be?" asked the animal. "Now, now," said the fairy, "don't let's joke." "What will we do?" asked the animal. "Weep?" "Of course not," said the fairy. "What shall we do that is in between weeping and joking?" asked the animal. "Let's talk," said the fairy. "But I won't be able to understand you and you won't be able to understand me," said the animal. "I don't talk your language and you don't talk mine." "We understand each other now, don't we?" asked the fairy. "Yes, we seem to," said the animal. "That is because a fairy can understand animals and birds and children A FANTASY FAIRY AND A TEMPTED OWL and grownups, and all sorts of queer creatures," said the fairy. "That's lucky," said the animal. "That's lucky," said the animal. "Shall we talk, then?" asked the fairy. "I don't mind," said the animal, "if you don't mind if we talk right away now. Don't suggest that we wait until the morning, for I haven't much use for the morning. In fact I don't A Are you contrary, you little girl or boy who is reading this story or having some one (prooably mother) read it to you? Do you always wisen to play some different game from the one suggested by your playmates? When mother wants you to do an errand, do you always act stubborn and ask to do something else? ```markdown ``` But the seeds, being mischievous little things, decided to play a trick on Mary. They planned to be just as contrary as she and grow with their roots above ground and their flowers and leaves hidden beneath the earth. How disappointed Contrary Mary was! Then she thought how often she made people as unhappy as the contrary seeds made her! 6 MASTER GALAGO. "Let's talk." said the fairy. "Who Are You?"

"Yes, I am a fairy, and so I can sleep when I want to, also." "What do you think we're going to talk about? asked the animal. "At present I can't think of anything to say." "Oh, I can," said the fairy. "Well, now, that's lucky, too," said the animal. "I want you to do the talking, but I will ask the questions," said the fairy. "I want to know who you are, you see." "I'm a galago," said the animal. "As you see, I'm somewhat larger than a rat, and yet I look quite like a fox. "My body is shaped very much like that of a fox, and I'm about the size of a rat. There, that about describes me, doesn't it? And my eyes are big and dark and they can see far, far into the night." "Don't you like the daytime?" asked the fairy. "Not in the least," said Master Galago. "I like the nights. Then I go hunting for my food." "What do you eat?" asked the fairy. "Oh, anything good," said Master Galago. "Bugs and insects and worms are always delicious, and small snakes are pleasant." "According to your taste," laughed the fairy. "My hands, or paws, or whatever you choose to call them help me in my climbing about." "I'd call them hands," said the fairy. "They look much like hands, don't they?" "They do," said Master Galago. "Now you think you know something about me?" "Yes," said the fairy, "but none too much." "Well, I hate to bother you, or to hurry you," said Master Galago, "but it is almost morning now and I must have my rest. Do call again some other night." "Thank you," said the fairy, "I will." And so she said good-by to Master Galago, an animal who lives far off in East Africa, which is shown in the maps, but which cannot be seen from where we are, no, indeed! IN DEAR OLD ENGLAND A clergyman who was not dis- informed toward an occasional glass bired an Irishman to clean out his cellar. He brought out a number of empty whisky bottles and, as he lifted each one looked to see if there was any- thing in it. The clergyman, who was walking on the lawn, noticed him and said: "They are all dead ones, Mike." "They are," answered Mike. "But there is one good thing about it, they all had the minister with them when they passed away."—Tit-Bits. 1 THE MONITOR The Holidays Are Coming.

Scrap Book LATE HOUR NOT THE CAUSE John Leaned Against Bell-Push and Kept the Whole Family Awake. They were standing outside the front door having a final chat after his evening call. He was leaning against the door-post, talking in low, dulcet tones. She was listening and gazing up rapturously into his eyes. A man and a woman are talking. Suddenly she turned round. The door had opened; and there, just inside, stood her father, clad in a dressing gown. "My dear father," she asked, "what is the matter?" Her dear father ignored her question. "John," he said, addressing the young man, "you know I've never complained about your staying late, and I'm not going to complain now; but, for goodness' sake, stop leaning against the bell-push. Other people want some sleep, even if you don't." STAMPS BY LUNAR MEASURE Government's Stickers for One Year's Use Would Make Strip 763,220 Until within very recent years all of our postage stamps were printed for the government by a private concern under contract by the year. Nowadays they are turned out at the big factory in Washington that makes Uncle Sam's paper money. The work is better done and at a great saving. There is a saving in ink (which is made on the premises); there is saving in gum (likewise of home manufacture), and there is saving of the profit that formerly went to the contractor. It is a huge job. During the last year the bureau of engraving printed 50,000,000,000 postage stamps. That (approximately) was the number required by the 110,000,000 people of the United States for mailing letters and parcels—an average of 454 stamps for every man, woman and child. If all these 50,000,000,000 stamps were placed end to end in one strip, how far would the latter extend? A small calculation will show. If you started at one end of the strip in a railroad train and traveled continuously day and night at a speed of sixty miles an hour, it would take you nearly a year and a half to reach the other end. You would get there in 12-720 hours, or 530 days. This strip would be 763,220 miles long. In other words, it would extend from the earth to the moon, back to the earth, then back to the moon again, with enough of its length left to encircle the globe nearly twice at the equator. Spread out in a single sheet, the 50,000,000,000 stamps (representing our annual requirement for mailing purpose) would cover 2,375 acres, or fourteen and two-thirds square miles. To make that number of postage stamps requires 1,750 tons of ink and 2,125 tons of gum. OMAHA'S LARGEST STORE FOR Look Kiddies,This Is for You!

I asked him if he had a 'falling out' with his white folks. He replied that his white folks, who had been making money off him for twenty-five years, had decided to refuse him any credit this year, as they feared he was growing old and perhaps would die before another crop was made." This item was' published in the Montgomery Journal of Sunday, April 15, under the column of "What Other People Say." Mayor Robertson is a man who says what he thinks, and every word he uttered in this statement is the whole truth and nothing but the truth despite the fact that, after some of his advisers go after him during the day, he came out with a column article in the Advertiser the following morning, stating "that what he said was taken from a private conversation among a number of gentlemen where a newspaper reporter happened to be present; that his statement was not intended for publication, but that he always had contended and still contends that the white man of the South is the Negro's best friend." THE SOUTH FEELS THAT WAY. And the pity of it all is the large majority of the people of Alabama and the entire South feel just as the Mayor of Montgomery—the Cradle of the Confederacy—does about the Negro problem. They feel that the Negro is a product of the South, and that he should remain in the South for the white man to do with as he pleases. While it is true that only a small percent of the white population actually and wilfully rob the Negro, it is also just as true that the remainder of the population sanctions and defends such robbery, and believes in its heart that they are doing the right thing. Their only answer to the Negro problem is that a "Negro is a Negro, and that you can't and should not attempt to make anything else out of him." They have seen the black man robbed so many years they have come to think that the business of cheating Negroes is just as legitimate as the banking or any other high-class business. Some of the richest men in the South—men who live in great Colonial mansions and who have been the guiding spirit in building some of the greatest churches in their respective communities—have made all their money robbing their Negro tenants, and their friends do not deny it in their family chats. But let such a story gain circulation in other sections of the United States, and the man responsible for it will receive more abuse in an hour than the devil could possibly heap upon him in a week in his favorite domain. All of which is just a brief note to explain that I know exactly how this series of articles will be received by the people and the newspapers of the South. However, the writer is a southerner and his sole object in writing these articles is not to abuse the South, but to awaken the people of this veritable Garden of Eden to the sad fact that, while they have been either systematically robbing, or a party to such robbing, of the Negro for fifty yeras, they have also been robbing themselves. The fundamental principles of the Negro problems are about the same in all the States of the old South. What I shall write about Alabama, where I have spent the last two years as managing editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, will apply in a general way to Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, parts of Louisiana, and the two Carolinas. Of course, there will be found some slight difference as to State laws, the treatment of the Negro in the courts, and the working of convict labor in mines; but as the main purpose of the articles is to deal with the Negro on the farm, conditions in Alabama may be taken for the Old South as a whole. However, I want it thoroughly understood in the beginning that there is no place dearer to my heart than the South, and that every word I write which might be termed a criticism of my native home is only done with the hope that it will benefit the white man of the South as much as or more than it does the Negro. Nothing is further from my mind than to even suggest any change in social standards of the white man and the Negro in that section, but I shall use all my power and knowledge to drive home the fact that the whole economic, commercial, educational, and moral attitude the white man has always assumed, and still assumes, toward the Negro is wrong; and that while the white man has robbed the Negro of millions of dollars through keeping the black man in ignorance he has also lost billions through the same method, and will continue to do so until he himself changes these deplorable conditions—conditions which should not be tolerated in any civilized community. The first census of the United States was taken in 1790, during the administration of George Washington. It related solely to population. THE MONITOR At WOLFE'S 1421 Douglas St. FIXINGS FOR MEN.
