Nethaway On Trial for Conspiracy to Murder GROWING. THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy NETHAWAY, ALLEGED MOB LEADER, ON TRIAL Man Charged With Conspiracy to Murder Will Brown Who Vas Lynched by a Mob September 22 racing Jury in Judge Sears' Court Accused Asked Change of Venue Judge Redick's Court. WITNESSES TESTIFY NETHAWAY LED State Presenting Strong Evidence Showing His Activities in Mob—County Attoracy Shotwell in His Opening Argument Said State Would Prove That Nethaway Made Inflammtaory Remarks, Urging Lynching, and Boasted That He Had Fired Shots Into Body of Mob's Victim. CLAUDE Nethaway, a Florence real estate man, is on trial before Judge Sears, charged with conspiracy to murder in connection with the lynching of Will Brown for the alleged raping of Agnes Lobek. He asked a change of venue from Judge Redick's court and it was granted. The case was then given to Judge Sears before wohm, two years ago, Charles Smith, a Negro charged with the murder of Nethaway's wife, was twice tried, the second trial resulting in Smith's conviction. Smith is now under life sentence in Lincoln. Peculiar circumstances surrounding the finding of Mrs. Nethaway's body and other facts in connection with the mystery left grave doubts in the popular mind as to Smith's guilt. However, by a strange coincidence Nethaway is now on trial for a serious crime before the same judge and the state has presented several witnesses who have been positive in their identification of Nethaway as one of the men who incited the mob and urged them "to get the nigger and lynch him." Monday was consumed in empaneling the jury. Tuesday morning the prosecution and defense outlined what they would prove and the state called its witnesses. County Attorney Shotwell stated that the evidence submitted by the state would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Nethaway made inflammatory speeches to the mob, urging the men to "get the nigger and lynch him" and also that he subsequently stated that he fired three shots into the body of Brown when it was hauled up on the pole at Eighteenth and Harney streets. Attorney Fleharty, counsel for the defense, said that he would prove that Nethaway did not reach the court house until 7:30 long after the riot had started and that therefore he was not one of the instigators or leaders. Sheriff Clark was the first witness called and he detailed the events of the night and his efforts to protect the prisoner. Policemen James J. Hughes and Dan Lahey testified that they saw Nethaway leading a crowd and shouting "get the nigger and lynch him." He also was shouting, "If they'd elected me sheriff this riot wouldn't have happened because I'd give that nigger up to the crowd in ten minutes." Attorney T. Hollister, Morris L. Sugarman, Ed Shanahan. Bee reporter, a World-Herald reporter, and several others testified to seeing Nethaway in the crowd, and heard him urging the mob to "lynch the nigger." Edward J. Lazure, a grocer of Florence, testified that the next day, Monday, Nethaway told him that he had fired three shots into the nigger's carcass." Andrew B. Anderson, former postmaster at Florence, also testified that Nethaway had told him that he fired into Brown's body. "I told Nethaway to keep quiet about any part he might have played in the riots, as there probably would be a grand jury session, and he might indicted," Anderson said. "Well, they can't convict anyone, anyway," Nethaway answered me." The defense is presenting its witnesses as we go to press. CLEF CLUB CONCERT FOR EUROPE MEMORIAI (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York.—The Clef Club of New York gave a concert at Carnegie hall, in aid of a memorial fund to perpetuate the name and honor of Lieutenant Europe, who was murdered by one of his men during a concert in Boston given shortly after his return to America. THE MONITOR COLORED STUDENTS SHOULD ENTER CONTEST The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Offers $100 in Prizes to Enlist Interest in Race Relationship Problems. New York, Jan. 7.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, announces an offer of $100 in prizes for the best essay by a student at a colored institution of learning on the subject, "The Economic Element in Lynching and Mob Violence." The first prize of $50 and the second and third of $30 and $20 respectively. Essays are limited to 5,000 words and must be at the office of the association not later than May 1, 1920. The prizes are offered "to enlist the interest and cooperation of colored students in dealing with the problems of race relations in the United States." Letters have been sent to the presidents of colored institutions of learning throughout the United States, asking them to acquaint their students with the terms of the offer. The names of the successful contestants will be announced at the spring meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. LARGE DENOMINATIONS WANTED BY DENOMINATIONS Methodists and Baptists to Cooperate With Inter-Church World Movement and Will Launch Spring Drive for $11,000,000 Fund. New York, Jan. 7.—Two large national denominations of colored people, comprising a membership of nearly 4,000,000—approximately 80 percent of all the Negro Christians in the United States—have taken steps to cooperate with the Interchurch World Movement in the mammoth financial drive of next spring, it has been announced here. These two denominations, the National Baptist convention and the African Episcopal Zion church, have set out to raise $11,000,000 during the drive, and machinery has been set up to carry on the campaign with the Interchurch World Movement. The colored Baptists, who are to raise $10,000,000, have appointed a campaign commission, which has opened up headquarters in Chicago, with branch offices in Philadelphia and Atlanta. FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO ROOSEYELT MEMORY New York, Jan. 7.—Many prominent Americans were among more than 2,000 friends and admirers of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt who gathered at Carnegie hall Monday night, eve of the first anniversary of his death, to pay tribute to his memory. Among those who occupied seats grouped around a bust of the former president were Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes, Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university; Bishop Charles Sumner Burch of the Episcopal diocese of New York; Rabbi Samuel Schulman, and Mrs. John Henry Hammond, president of the Roosevelt memorial association, who presided. AMERICANS IN BUDAFEST WILL REMAIN LONGER Vienna, Dec. 29, via Paris, Jan. 4. Having succeeded in obtaining recognition for the Hungarian government at the peace conference and the withdrawal of the Roumanian troops from Budapest, the interallied mission to Hungary will be disbanded soon. Brig. Gen. H. H. Bandholtz, former provost marshal general, the American representative on this mission, has already reduced his staff to two officers, with whom he will remain in Budapest until the conclusion of the Hungarian elections in January. YOUNG WOMAN GIVEN CITY APPOINTMENT Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 7.—Miss Viviana Pollard of Junilla street has received an appointment as clerk in the recorder of deeds office, effective January 2. Miss Pollard, whose appointment comes as an indirect result of the activities of the voters in the Fifth ward, is a graduate of the Fifth Avenue High school and Pittsburgh Training School for Teachers. OMAHA. NEBRASKA. JANUARY 8, 1920 Alma and Paul Ellerbe, a Chautauqua Lecturer and His Wife, the One a Native Alabamian, the Other a Resident of the South and Sharing Its Prejudices, Tell of Their Conversion to the Truth That the Negro Should be Treated as a Human Being, in a Fascinating True Story in Collier's Weekly. COLLIER'S Weekly, which has a large circulation and wields a tremendous influence in moulding public sentiment, has done a notable service for the American public by publishing several articles bearing upon race conditions in the United States. Education is needed on both sides. There is a large group among white people who need to learn the lesson that these two Southerners learned. There is an increasing number of colored folk who are becoming bitter because of humiliation which either they themselves or others have suffered, who need to learn that there are thousands of white people who have good hearts but who are the slaves of prejudices and traditions, who want to do the right thing. Read this delightful story from Collier's of November 29th and take courage. The Ellerbes are multiplying rapidly throughout the land, therefore, "Sursum corda," lift up your hearts. Here's the story: We saw the basso first. He is the Passenger waited in the car in front biggest and the blackest. He was coming down the stairs of the little out whether reservations had been Middle Western hotel. If they had, We don't know which of us was more shocked. The Lecturer stood with pen poised over the register, and the Passenger, his wife, moved a step closer and put her hand, on his arm. We are afraid we stared. It had never occurred to us that it was possible that there were hotels in America, run by white people, that received Negroes. When the nine of them—five men and four women—had filed out of the door, we looked at each other for one blank, dismayed moment, and then turned to the proprietor. "Who are they?" "The Jubilee Singers, and the head of a colored school, somewhere in the South, who lectures." "Are they coming or going?" "Going." The Lecturer took a fresh dip of ink and completed his signature. "They are as clean and nice as anybody. I've known them for years. I like to have 'em here. You'd feel the same way in my place." "No," said the Lecturer. "I know too much about them. I'm from Alabama." The day's drive had been the last lap of an eleven-day, 921-mile plunge, through mud and rain, in an automobile; the chug of the engine still filled our ears, and we needed soap and water and clean clothes and sleep and food. But we forgot them all as we sank together at a little rickety table in our room and spread out between us the Chautauqua prospectus we had found in the lobby below—forgot everything except one clamant question: Were the Negroes scheduled for the fourth day? For the Lecturer was a fourth-day man. He had come to that first town on the circuit just to meet "the management." He didn't spoken there, because the morning lecturers were exempted on Sundays, and this was a Sunday; but the fourth-day people in the first town would be fourth-day people in all the towns—and our companions on the branch, therefore, until the summer's end. We turned the pages hastily, and there they were; in a smiling row—on the fourth-day page! The singers furnished a prelude to the educator's lecture in the afternoon, and the whole "bill" at night. In our mind's eye we saw our summer's route go looping and twisting through most of luxuriant Iowa, a cool, lake-dotted portion of southern Minnesota, a little hot slice of South Dakota, and the drought-seared northern half of Missouri, and saw it lead to these Negroes with diurnal infallibility—on the platforms of ninety-one big brown Chautauqua tents, in the streets of ninety-one towns, in the lobbies and dining-rooms of ninety-one hotels. For three months we'd be vis-a-vis. "It's a whale of a situation," said the Lecturer, who is wholly Southern; and the Passenger, who is partly so, agreed that it was. Before we bathed or ate or slept, we talked it out briefly to its inevitable conclusion: We could not lodge in hotels with Negroes. Even if we had been sure that we could trust them, there were things in us that we could not trust—racial instincts older than ourselves. If we could not find places that didn't receive them, we'd cancel our contract and drive home again. We did not have much trouble. The Passenger waited in the car in front of the hotel until the Lecturer found out whether reservations had been made for the Jubilees. If they had, we went to another hotel, or, failing to find one, to a private house, or slept in the car, a Ford sedan, Pullmanized and mosquito-netted to meet our needs. But even in Iowa most of the hotels shared our prejudice, and everyone respected it and helped to shield us from the unwelcome contact. We never expressed, and we tried not to imply, criticism. We have known and liked a great many Negroes, and loved a few with unqualified childish devotion. It would be hard for a Middle Westerner to understand as we do the sunny sweetness, the kindness, the forgivingness of the race—their ability to become as little children. We wished for them, and these nine of them, nothing but good. We were glad for their sake when the hotels took them in; we were sorry only because we thought we had a larger view, and saw that, in the long run, when Iowa knew as much as Alabama, nothing but perplexity and unhappiness could come of it. We were not willing, by going into hotels with them, to assume a part which we should find ourselves unable to play; to begin a relationship which would be subject to misinterpretations on their part. In a manner of speaking, we were even willing to accord, if not to these individuals whom we scarcely knew, then to other Negroes that we knew about, social equality; but not ever to them, or of any them, social contact. That, we told ourselves, led inevitably to a mixture of the races—the root, after all, of the whole matter, for which, of course, the responsibility lies heavily on the South, and against which, those who love her fight unremittingly, in every little and big way. We defined the issue clearly to ourselves, hoping to forget it. And for a short time we succeeded. Summer swelled and burst. It was magnificent to be a part of it. As we drove to town through that great garden, we could feel the pageant of June go marching with us. But after a little we began to meet the Jubilees again. We came to know and like their faces; and to like, too, a clean, upstanding quality in them, and to respect their self-respect. An unusual sympathy grew in us for this group of quiet, well-mannered men and women. It was impossible to avoid them. We came upon them in post offices, drug stores, parks, Chautauqua grounds. And wherever they weren't, their pictures were. And often at night, as we slept in the car, on the banks of a river or in the edges of the green waves of a wheat field, or in some kindly farmer's grove of little oaks, afar off, from the town, mingling with the sounds of sleepy birds and crickets and the friendly soughing of the trees, we could hear them singing "Joshua at Jericho," or "Deep River," or other familiar spirituals. These, coming faintly on the wind across the silent, moon-washed fields, did not make a comforting lullaby. We were distinctly troubled and unhappy. We were beginning to realize our comparative isolation, and our share of responsibility for it. Both were suddenly made clear by the chances of the road. After a good night's sleep, we made an early start one morning, before the hotel dining room was open, and stopped at the railroad station for (Continued on Page 8.)

"FROM A BROAD STANDPOINT I THINK ANY ADDITIONAL EDUCATION WE GIVE THE COLORED MAN WOULD BE AN ADVANTAGE TO THE NATION," DECLARES GENERAL PERSHING. --- WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7. The testimony presented at the recent meeting of the joint House and Senate Committees on Military Affairs, Senator Wadsworth of New York presiding, brought forth the following pertinent testimony when General John J. Pershing appeared before the committee, relative to the part the colored youth would play in the reorganization of the army: General Pershing: Can you consistently fail to take advantage of the splendid opportunity you are giving these young men for broadening themselves, by association with their fellows? They get in three months or six months a view of life which they probably never would get otherwise. It would be a large step toward preventing class distinction. Are you not giving to them value received, and are you not by that method increasing their efficiency as laboring men? I think you are. I think they go back into civil life better prepared, more aggressive, more imbued with a spirit of leadership and initiative than if they had not had this training, and even if we were assured of never having another war, I should be in favor of some such system as this, simply for training young men to be more law-abiding citizens. There is too little regard for law and order. Mr. Quin: I could not agree with your premise. I come from a section of the country where we have the black man in large numbers, and it is actually demonstrated that it is a very dangerous thing to train him as a soldier. He has come back into society now and is a menace to the white race. What would you do under this plan for universal training to keep those sections of the country, some of them in the south and some in the middle west and in the north, from being menaced in such a way? That is not hearsay, but it is an actual reality which I am relating to you. General Pershing: I am not entirely familiar with that situation nor with the result that would be produced by giving these men this sort of training. But from a broad standpoint I think any additional education we give the colored man would be an advantage to the nation. Mr. Quin: So far as education is concerned, those sections are educating him in free schools. The proposition is that this military training has demonstrated that it develops a real danger. He is coming back home with all that virus in him. General Pershing: I do not know that that can be entirely attributed to his military training. May it not be attributed to some extent, to the peculiar circumstances under which he served abroad? I am not prepared to analyze it entirely or give you a complete answer, but it seems to me that that feature of it should be considered. You remember that the relations that exist over there and the attitude toward the colored man are different from what they are with us. Mr. Quin: Would you object, after you had had time to analyze it and study it, to put a complete answer to that in the record? General Pershing: Of course, I think the question 'going to come up, if congress in its wisdom concludes to adopt any system of military training; and if I should be called upon to assist in the preparation of the details of a bill I should be glad to comply with your request. I may state, however, that my information is that few, if any, of the colored men who were in the army have been engaged in any of the recent racial troubles. The first census of the United States was taken in 1790, during the administration of George Washington. It related solely to population. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! GEORGIA LEADS IN SHAMING AMERICA 1919 Record Lynching Year--78 Met Death From Mobs. New York, Jan. 7. — Complete lynching statistics for the year 1919, made available by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, show 78 mob murders during the year, the greater number of any year since 1915, when 96 persons were lynched. Georgia leads the list of states with 21 lynchings, Mississippi follows with 12, and Alabama and Louisiana are tied for third place in the list with eight. Of the persons lynched in 1919, four were white Americans, two were Mexicans and 72 were Negroes. Shooting to death claimed 27 victims, hanging 23 and burning at stake 13. Nine of the victims were ex-soldiers of the United States army. In the list of alleged causes of lynching, murder is given in 27 cases, assault in 14 cases, shooting of a white man in 7 cases. In less than one-fifth of the lynchings of 1919 was assault upon women even alleged as a justification. NEW YORKERS PLAN TO ESTABLISH BANK Pioneer Development Corporation Starts Movement to Promote Bank With Capitalization of $1,000,000. (By The Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 7.—At a meeting of 1,000 Negroes in the Palace Casino, 135th street and Madison avenue, under the auspices of the Pioneer Development Corporation, a movement to promote a bank capitalized at $1,000,000 for the exclusive use of Negroes was inaugurated. Augustus Duncan said that although the Negroes put $17,000,000 annually into banks now they are unable to borrow money for commercial and business purposes from the banks operated by white men. John W. Lewis, the Negro president of the Industrial Savings bank, of Washington, D. C., said his institution has 6,082 depositors, with total deposits of $523,000, affording the Negroes of Washington an opportunity to borrow money with which to compete in business with the whites. SINN FEINERS AND POLICE HAVE FIGHT Cork, Ireland, Jan. 7.—A prolonged battle was fought between the police and Sinn Feiners in the village of Carrigtohill, nine miles outside of Cork, last night. For four hours the fight lasted, and there were, it is stated, 300 Sinn Fein volunteers in the attack which was made on the police barracks. An ex-soldier who resides in the village, which has a population of less than 500, described the whole affair as being similar to going over the top at night in Flanders for an attack on pill boxes.

UP-TO-DATE TABLE SERVICE More Favorable Comment From Dain- tiness Than From Amount of Solid Food. The hostess who would be smart and modern must keep up with all the latest notions anent table service and food garnishing. A square meal well cooked is well enough in its way; more important—vastly more important—is the service thereof, and a few light edibles perfectly served will give that hostess a higher reputation among her women friends, at least, than any amount of good solid food minus the little touches that bespeak up-to-dateness. For instance, the butter knife is an obsolete affair; almost as obsolete as the ancient soup ladle no more seen on the modern dinner table. Soup is served in plates by the maid—no tureen or ladle are in evidence. As for butter, the little squares or cubes—now much smarter than roly-poly butter balls—are taken up with a dainty silver two-pronged fork, or "butter plick." The same little fork may be used at tea hour for picking up lemon slices for the teacups. Small silver butter spreaders are still correct at the individual places and the smartest butter plates now are of silver, plain and rather flat, about the size of a saucer and engraved with a monogram in the center. No housewife now is completely happy until she has coaxed a set of silver vegetable dishes from her better half. And if her cup of happiness is to be full he will provide also one of those stunning silver plate meat platters with a gravy "tree" grooved out in the center, like the old Sheffield plate meat platters. In solid silver these table belongings are rather costly; but silver plate is not to be despised and meat and vegetable dishes of good plate are found in many well-appointed homes. Dinner napkins are not the mammoth affairs that they were—perhaps because linen became so scarce and precious during the war. But the really handsome napkin, of moderate size, has an inch-wide hemstitched hem and a beautifully hand-embroidered monogram or initial across one corner. Sometimes the embroidered motif is in the exact center of the napkin, which is folded by the laundress so that the monogram comes in the center of a square. HEAD-DRESS MORE ORNATE French Milliners Inaugurate Style Hailed as Omen of Lavish Season of Old. French milliners have shown the effect of the dawn of peace more in the creation of their elaborate and ornate head-dresses than in anything else, for these ornaments are so essentially a luxury and intended to be worn only with the most sumptuous of gowns. The most costly fabrics have been employed in their making, and French pearls are used in large quantities. Paradise branches finish the ends of many of these pearl bandeaux, and heavy cloths of gold and silver are bound about the heads, hardly showing the hair. Many of these head-dresses or banleaux were worn showing the elaborate use of paradise. Some bandgaux of silver or gold braid supported a coronet of uncurled pastel-tinted ostrich banding standing high about the hair and allowing a knot of it to come through the crownless top. This item in particular called forth much comment for the reason that every one hailed it as the omen of a lavish season and the return to the old-time seasons when dress hats were so much in demand. WRAPSFORWINTER TURBANSFOR FALL Heavy Ulsters Have Been Made to Be Really Attractive. Bulky Garment Now Does Work It Was Cut Out to Do; Good It The big ulster coat has developed into one of woman's most fetching garments. Once it was a bulky arrangement, designed mostly after the pattern of the man's, to give warmth, and that only. Now it does the work that it was cut out to do and is extremely good looking as well. The materials are of soft texture. There are velours de laine and silk duvetyns which rival the handsomest qualities of velvet. There are beautifully woven English tweeds and Scotch mixtures. Those who manufacture these cloths assure us that they will "wear like iron," and that, indeed, is true. As for colors in these coat stuffs, they range over the whole gamut. The thick pile fabrics are being made up in gorgeous plaids, and the Parisian designers have made most interesting combinations of plaids and plain materials in the construction of coats. You will see a plain taupe lower section combined with an upper portion of taupe and dull green and brown, making a large-patterned plaid. Another combination uses the plaid merely for a wide facing. Besides the plaids there are many of these soft materials made in patterns of stripes, and the colors combined in them give a warm look which will take the place of furs, now almost prohibitively high in price. When furs are worn they seem much more lavish than ever before. The coats are big and roomy. Kolinsky is a popular variety of fur and the deepness and richness of its brown tones make it almost universally a becoming shade. Then there are the dyed rabbit skins, which have come into favor not only for deep collars and cuffs used on coats and suits of woolen materials but also for whole coats. The ermine coats for evening are more beautiful than ever and those of sable rival the mantles of queens. Goat skin, long and silky, has been dyed and used for fur trimming. The favorite shade is gray. The wraps for evening indulge in color to the last degree, and it is here that the metal broaches and the velvet broaches are used to their best advantage. The wraps are cut out of long square pieces and little or no shaping is given to them. All of their style comes in the draping.

A very acceptable little present to make for an invalid or anyone who may be confined to bed for a time is shown in the sketch. It is for suspending from the rail at the head of the bed 'above the pillow, and in it may be kept letters, books, papers, etc., in which position they will be within easy reach of the occupant of the bed. To make it: Procure a piece of thin board of the shape indicated in the sketch, and cover it on both sides with colored linen. Prior to doing this.

They are also made of linen, and should be roomy; they are bound at the edges with colored braid. The board is finished off at the edges with woolen cord to match the braid. For hanging the pockets upon the rail of the bed, procure two hooks, of the nature shown in sketch A, and screw them on at the back of the board in the positions shown in sketch B. Suitable hooks, with screws for fastening them on, can be obtained for a trifle, but care should be taken to select large enough hooks to slip easily over the bed-rail. The pockets should be large enough to hold a book or magazine, and a small writing-pad. Millinery Colors. Black is nearly always the best for the hat itself but it is believed this year that brown will be a very successful rival and that more brown hats will be sold than is usual of any one color. Taupe is quite a vogue. Trimming shades will be orange, reddish tones, electric blue and turquoise. Hair Dressed High. Fashion says hair is to be worn high this winter and the advent of the tall coifure will bring a return of fancy combs and pins. Even barrettes—small ones—are to come into their own again. THE MONITOR Smaller Headgear Welcome Relief From Summer Styles. Large Hat Still Holds Favor for Dress Occasions; Many Picture Mod- For fall wear, following the summer season of big more or less floppy picture hats, the chic little turban or toque is a welcome addition to the wardrobe. The draped turban is an especially popular bit of headgear and it is a hat quite within the province of the home milliner. The fact that hand embroidery is much in evidence on fabrics used for hats and for hat trimming makes it possible for a woman to express great individuality in the development of her headgear. The day of the large hat has by means passed, and for later dress, wear many picture models are shown, with handsome ostrich plumes of great length and richness the favored trimming. Soft crowns predominate on the big hats, although some of the more tailored models show stiff crowns. A novelty shown by some of the leading milliners is a severe sailor © Western Newspaper Union Turban of Beaver and Extremely Close-Fitting-For Walking or Motoring It Is Ideal. that is really a feminine adaptation of the silk "topper" worn by men. In the development of the soft crowns, brocaded fabrics and materials richly embroidered are often used to accompany brims of plain color material. STYLES FAVOR THIN GIRLS Bouffant Draperies and Accentuated Hips Are Not Designed for Stout Persons. Maybe you think that the girl under one hundred or close thereto does not have the difficulties in dressing becoming as does her sister who weighs another hundred pounds, says a writer in the Philadelphia Record. In some ways she is worse off, for correct corseting and very careful tailoring will do much for the stout woman, while, unless the mode sponsors it, frills and the other first aids of the thin girl are apt to look passe. At present she should be in her element. She can build up so delightfully without recourse to ruffles, flounces or frills at all. Think what pounds the new stiff panniers of taffeta can add to the thin girl's appearance. There is a great deal to be done with skillful drapery, too. Large billowy folds of heavy satius will make up many deficiencies in the shim figure. Probably the best news is that if she has no hips she may simulate them in several ways. A very new Paris frock suggests one, for it rolls a piece of soft but heavy brocade turban fashion right below the normal waistline and then adds a tulle overskirt to soften the effect. Another frock that does much the same thing shows a skirt of heavy satin draped into a 2-inch frill at the waistline, held there by folded girdle. The frill was allowed to fall over the girdle, and again a tulle overskirt falling over the frill softened and added even more bulk to the frock. The ruffled chemisettes in vogue again play into the thin girl's hands, and if her ankles are overly thin the heavy wool stockings to be worn with the sport oxfordings all winter are another feature in her favor. Even the coats with their large armholes, which camouflage, narrow, thin shoulders, show that the mode, while not perhaps having the very thin girl in mind, is at least kind to her this season. It is a long time since black has been so much the mode. Coatlike frocks of black velours are very smart. This soft, dull black fabric frequently is relieved by a bright colored fastening of some sort. Fastenings are in favor this year, and give a good opportunity for introducing a note of brightness. A frock of black velours fastens down the full length of the long bodice with a chain of silver rings. The sleeves, which are long, tight and crinkled to correspond with the waist, fasten from elbow to wrist after the same manner. If Blouse Is Crushed.

WHITE MAN'S WORLD CRACKING Danger Not in Europe, But in Asia Led by a Master Nation Like Japan and Equipped With Modern Resources — Nationalism Stirring the Islam Millions. (By Thomas Stewart Ryan) (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service — By Special Cable.) WARSAW, Dec. 31.—If I had not heard it from so many quarters, from so many different kinds of people in eastern Europe, it would not be worth reporting as an influence which may figure in future events in Europe. "The end of the white man's time is at hand. Now comes the yellow race." It has long been a theme or editorial writers at home. But in this east it is a whisper throughout the land, like a rustle of prairie grass before the old Mongolian horsemen of Attila, Genghis Khan, and Tamurlane. Along Russia's borders you can scent the nearness of the east. There are the wild costumes, the touch of barbaric splendor, the weird paeans of waste places, the quick passions, the quiet suffering since the beginning of time—and then an echo from regions beyond where dervishes are howling and outlandish rites are performed, and millions bide their time as before the great migrations. In Bucharest I sat in a cafe chantant. It was exotic enough. Conspicuous were the number of men who dragged sabres across the floor and a Turkish girl in her own Levantine dress. Russian dancers were leaping under the loges. **Sees Yellow Race Coming.** "This can't last much longer," remarked a distinguished editor. "It is the mounting fever before the crisis. We are like that prince in Poe's tale who locks himself up in a tower to dance and make merry while death is waiting outside. A little more war, a little more crumbling of moral ties, and the yellow race will have a clear sweep." Later I sat with a young Roumanian officer in a mud hut, near the brown Dneister. The spot is just at the threshold of the oldest civilization in Europe. The river flows into the sea of the Golden Fleece. Yet there is not a corner of the Yukon more savage, more desolate, than that region of Bessarabia. In the Kherson government, southward down to Odessa, the highroads are lined with human bodies, horribly mutilated, beaten sometimes to pulp. Report your discoveries to the nearest volunteer post and the officer will shrug and remark: "What would you have? That happens daily." "The Mongols will come in our day," the young Roumanian said, "just as they always came before when Europe wore herself out. They came when the Roman world broke up, when Charlemagne's empire crumbled. They will come now in this age of war, hunger, oppression, and rotting discipline." Thoughtful Pole's Opinion. Of all such talks the most thoughtful I heard from a Polish official. With him the peril from Asia is a fixed belief. "We hear much of Germany trying again, of this nation or that in Europe becoming too strong," he said. "I tell you the danger is not in Europe, but in Asia—Asia led by a master nation, like Japan, and equipped with modern resources. Moreover, there are the 300,000,000 of Islam, already stirred by nationalism in Egypt, India, and Turkey. "In Europe only Great Britain and France among the great powers. and possibly Italy, are interested in keeping the peace. Germany and Russia are old offenders. Such is the Europe that meets a possible Mongolian inroad in the future. Likely some nation will call the yellow race in. That might well be Germany. "White Man's World Cracking." "Even now Japanese troops are in Siberia with Kolchak, and there are Chinese in Russia. "You don't need to believe in direct attack, only indirect at first, such as insurrections in India fomented by Japanese agents. The yellow man sees that the white man's world is cracking. The yellow man is no fool." "It is the task of the Anglo-Saxon to meet the danger. You must create in eastern Europe such outposts as will secure the country such alliances as you can trust. Poland, if given the chance, will assume the charge." I have heard such ideas, more or less, for weeks. A chance for the kiddies to earn a prize. Read Monitor Mother Goose offer on page six. (Copyright, 1919, by the Western Newspaper Union.) When the mothers of Ellington wished to warn or frighten their children who were troublesome or rebellious, they had a "bogey man" directly at hand without appealing to a vague and distant object of juvenile dread. Just at the outskirts of the town was a spot marshy and broken. It had been at one time a great resort for wild ducks and geese in the season and some ardent hunter had built a shed house fairly habitable. With the growing scarcity of game it had been abandoned until "Old Moon," tramp, cynic, miser, hermit, it was reported, came along, appropriated the ramshackle hut, patched it up and settled down. All kinds of wild stories were current concerning him. He was old, gray whiskered, had glittering, forbidding eyes and never addressed those who met him. Once or twice a week he would visit the local general store, purchase what provisions he required and then again retire to his grewsome retreat. Robert Blake, his wife and their little four-year-old child lived in a neat but isolated cottage directly at the edge of the swamp. They had bought it cheap on account of its unfavorable situation, but had made a perfect paradise of its garden space. Economical as they were, however, they had not been able to keep up their payments on the property, illness and lack of steady employment cutting down the income of Mr. Blake. At times they dejectedly feared that they would have to give up their little home. Doris was a bright, lively little sprite and rarely wandered away from home. Upon her youthful mind Old Moon had been impressed in a way that made her serious, but one moonlight evening she came rushing into the house in a fervent frame of excitement. "Oh, papa! mamma!" she cried breathlessly. "I've talked to him!" "Who is 'him,' Doris?" questioned her mother. "Old Moon. Oh, surely he was the man you once pointed out to me! He was coming from the town, his arms full of groceries, and a bundle fell over and I ran out and picked it up and gave it to him. He set his things on the ground and put his hand on my head and said, 'Thank you, my little cherub,' and then gave me this box of candy. He spoke so kindly, and he can't be a bugaboo, to treat a little girl so nice, can he, now?" Old Moon was no longer quoted to Doris as a bogey man. In fact, she asked questions constantly about his lonely living place and wanted to see him again. One day her father brought home her first pair of rubbers and Doris gloated over an accession she had long coveted. "I can go out in the wet grass now whenever I want to, can't I, mamma?" she submitted. "Why, I can even walk along the edge of swamp water, picking pretty pebbles and shells. Oh, what dear, cute little rubbers!" It was just about dusk one afternoon when Doris started from the house. It had been raining and the fact delighted her, for she could find some puddles to wade through. She ventured in the direction of the swamp. Some distant flowers tempted her and she wandered on and on until a haze coming down over the landscape confused her. She began to cry as she found that she had lost both rubbers in the mud. Then she saw a spark of light in the distance. She hurried toward it, to arrive in front of a wretched hut. Vaguely she fancied that it must be the oft-mooted habitat of Old Moon. She tiptoed to the sill of a window, glanced within a lighted room and, young as she was, what she saw there chilled and thrilled her—Old Moon lying bound hand and foot upon the floor and two men bending over him. One held a hammer menacingly, the other was prodding the helpless captive with a poker. Doris ran from the spot with a wild cry of fright. It was shrill and echoing. Missing their little one, her father and mother had started to find her. "Oh, papa! mamma!" gasped Doris wildly as they reached her—"Old Moon in his house and two men are trying to kill him!" Robert Blake seized a heavy piece of wood and drove in the window sash as he in turn discerned what was going on behind it. The two strangers fled at his appearance. Mr. Blake relieved the old hermit of his bonds. "They were talking of torturing me with a red-hot poker if I did not disclose the hiding place of my money," he explained. "You have saved it, and me. Ah! is that your child?" as the door opened and little Doris and her mother stood revealed. It appeared that Old Moon had no inconsiderable treasure hidden in the old shack. The visitation of the burglar had the effect of driving him nearer to his neighbors. His gratitude toward little Doris, who had been the medium of his rescue, led to his building a new and better home next to that of the Blages. He insisted on helping them out of their money troubles, proving a good friend and neighbor and seeming to tire of the company of the little child whose adventurous spirit had been the means of transforming "the bogey man" into a happy and rational human being. THE MONITOR (Copyright, 1915, by the Western Newspaper Union.) Captain Joel Holcomb had been gone a year on his last whaling voyage before either his niece, Rhoda, or her lover, Vance Deveril, heard from him. During the twelve months Rhoda had lived with a distant relative and Vance had held a modest clerkship in a shipping office. The sea had been the roving ground of Vance's father for many a year. He had been the owner of a whaler. When he died about all he left was the good ship Defiance. She was not as good as new by any means, however, and the executors were about to sell the vessel for what she would bring as old junk when Captain Holcomb had come along. It was through this circumstance that young Deveril became acquainted with Rhoda, his niece. Thenceforward she filled all his thoughts and this fact induced Vance to favor the uncle in a plan he had formed. "Tell you what, lad," Captain Holcomb had said, "the Defiance can be made entirely seaworthy and I have enough laid by to make her so. Here's my proposition: you furnish the ship, I'll refit her, then fifty-fifty on what comes of a venture to the South seas, say around Polynesia. I know the district, it abounds in spouters, and as to ambergries, it's there that precious spill abounds. One lucky voyage and we've both made men in a money way." So the battered old Defiance started for the Southern seas and Vance and Rhoda dreamed, and loved, and hoped. Vance had only his limited salary to depend on if they married, so they awaited some word from their venturesome argonian. It had come at last—a letter. From what Vance could surnise it had been picked up by a mail steamer from a boat coming off shore from somewhere in the vicinity of the Papuan group of islands. It started out with the words, "I'm about to tell you about our cruise, and I'll start in by saying in an encouraging way we had greasy luck." "What does that mean?" inquired Rhoda, to whom Vance showed the letter. "It's a whalers' term and means that they were successful in finding plenty of whales and secured a rich cargo of sperm oil," explained Vance. "For two pages, though, the rest of the letter is undecipherable. It must have been wet through, immersed in sea water somewhere, for the pencillings are all blurred and blotted out. Only the last page is clear again. Listen, dear," and he read aloud: "You must come therefore to Mimosa island, where, as I tell you, I am, and I need your help in getting away. Come alone by yawl from Ampti, and be sure to paint your nose red. As I have explained to you I am a king, but I need a prime minister to help me out of my fix." "Jargon! 'King,' 'prime minister,' 'red nose!'" quoted Vance. "It sounds like the ravings of a madman." "Perhaps the blotted out pages explained?" suggested Rhoda, and after a lengthy consultation it was decided that Vance must certainly try and find this mysterious and uncharted Mimosa island.

Vance was greeted by a half-nude, ferocious appearing crowd, bearing spears, clubs and darts. They were about to attack him when their attention was focused on his carmine-bedaued nose. He was led to a rude habitation and there, seated on a broad dals, more rublcumb than ever, his nasal appendage more than usual aglow, was Captain Holcomb. It took the latter some time to impart to Vance the story of his adventures. Laden with "greasy spoil" representing a fortune the Defiance had encountered a storm. Then pestilence had swept away the crew. It was just by chance that the sole survivor, the captain, had been able to navigate the dismantled vessel into a cove at an unfrequented part of Mimosa island. "She's there now," said the captain, "but I have so played on the superstitious fears of my subjects that they believe she is haunted, for when they first discovered me I played some tricks on them with fireworks, a victrola and an electric battery which impressed them that I was a sort of wizard. They made me their king. I told them of the coming of my red-nosed relative and they believe red noses to be a distinctive mark of great dignity and power. They will never let me go willingly and my escape and the conveyance of the Defiance to some friendly port is now to be your task."

Chicago, Jan. 7. For the third time within six months the property of Jesse Binga, banker and real estate dealer, has been bombed by unknown parties. So critical has become the situation, and so determined are the colored people of Chicago to enjoy their constitutional rights that a new organization, the Chicago Protective Circle, has been inaugurated for the avowed purposes of using every means within the law to put a stop to lawlessness and insidious propaganda.

Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, daily receives surprising reports about rosy republican prospects, but none of them are so surprising as the predictions coming from Texas to the effect that the republicans there will carry that state for the republican national ticket next fall. The democrats of Texas concede nearly complete demoralization in their state organization, with no likelihood of harmonizing the ambitions of the rival leaders until there has been a political cataclysm that will blow the old democratic machine to bits, after which the democrats hope they can get together again with chastened spirits and rebuild their party in the Lone Star state. UNIFORM STANDARD AND WAGE FOR TEACHERS (By The Associated Negro Press.) Baltimore, Md., Jan. 7. That there should be a uniform standard of efficiency for white and colored teachers, with a single salary scale; that a commission should be appointed by the governor to consider Negro education in Maryland, and that there should be closer co-operation between the state board of education and colored leaders were some of the suggestions made at a conference between leading colored men and the state board of education. The meeting was held at the Colored Young Men's Christian Association.

Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. LAST week's issue contained a news item stating that a French newspaper had suggested editorial that France invite 2,000,000 colored Americans to help rebuild the war-stricken land. The Monitor has received several inquiries for further information from men who are anxious to go. We can give no further information. The item and the inquiries have caused us serious thought. The painful reflection is forced upon us that while the United States seems so indifferent to one of her most valuable assets, other countries recognize it. That while she treats the colored American largely as an alien and an unwelcome guest other countries—for France is not alone in this, the South American republics being equally outspoken—are bidding him welcome and inviting him to come. The desire of many of our most thoughtful, upstanding and ambitious young men to accept such invitations and forsake America is equally significant. The Monitor's opinion is that despite the tempting lure of other lands the United States is where we are most needed and where we will best work out our destiny. The advancement we have made, despite prescription and limitations, foretell the greater achievements that will be ours right here in this land upon which none has greater claims than we, if we remain true to God, true to our country and true to ourselves. AMERICANIZATION. AMERICANIZATION is the term used for the process of making loyal American citizens out of the various race groups and varieties which go to make up the population of the United States. A large percentage of the population is of foreign birth. Millions owe allegiance to other flags than the starry emblem which waves over our own land. Millions speak a foreign language. This does not make for national unity. It perpetuates racial groups whose interests are first racial and after that national. Race consciousness and class consciousness, instead of a national consciousness predominates. The danger of this must be apparent to all. A few national leaders have seen this danger, called attention to it and have urged that a campaign of Americanization be vigorously prosecuted. To this end a program providing for education in the English language and instruction in American principles and ideals has been put into operation in several of our larger cities among these foreign groups. By this process it is planned to make them loyal, patriotic and enthusiastic American citizens, submerging their racial or class consciousness in that of the nation, so that they will pride themselves upon being Americans first. Not, however, that they should forget the land of their nativity to which they must be bound with ties of tenderest affection because of birth and kinsmanship; but that their allegiance shall be sincere and whole-hearted to America, the land of their adoption. In self-defense and for the perpetuity of her institutions the United States can ask no less than this. Polygeneous, that is to say composed of many races and nations, she must become unigenous, one nation. She cannot endure without national unity. She must have a national consciousness and a national life and a national policy embracing all elements of her population and her population must be made and must become thoroughly, truly and ideally American. Americanization is therefore an imperative duty imposed upon this nation and people. It may be well, however, to remind the statement of the nation and the moulders of public sentiment, such as the press and the pulpit, throughout the nation, that while properly stressing the Americanization of foreign groups and races, there is grave danger of de-Americanizing that loyal and dependable people, one hundred per cent American, who constitute at least one-ninth, possibly one-eighth of the total population of the United States. The constant pushing aside and practical counting out of the colored American will, we fear, if persisted in, result in his estrangement from and the weakening of his affection for the United States. We do not speak as an alarmist, but as an interpreter of the sentiment which we know to exist among our group. Segregation movements and the like, proclaiming our people 'undesirable;' various forms of prescription, and the popular emphasizing of the fact in the public mind that we are Negroes and not men, is creating that very class and racial consciousness among us which Americanization seeks to minimize and lessen among the foreign racial groups composing the population of the United States. Is this a wise policy to pursue? Ought not every group be encouraged to feel itself American first, willing to contribute its all for the upbuilding and defense of the republic? Can any process of Americanization be complete which fails to accord to the colored American his full constitutional rights and privileges? While Americanizing those of alien blood, is it part of wisdom or far-sseeing statesmanship to foster, favor or encourage any policy that inevitably has a tendency to de-Americanize the colored American? AN INDEFENSIBLE PRACTICE? THE Omaha police have an indefensible practice which ought to be stopped. It is the habit of arresting forty or fifty colored men indiscriminately in an effort to apprehend one or two men who have been accused of crime. Almost every time it is reported that a Negro has committed a crime, the police throw out what they call a dragnet, visit pool halls and similar places run by colored men, and make arrests by the wholesale. Many of these men are respectable and industrious men, employed at hotels and packing houses, who have dropped in to play a game of pool or billiards, which they have a perfect right to do, who are taken in these general round-ups. They are held over night or for a day or two and are then discharged. Some of these men have lost their jobs by being unjustly detained. There are more white men loafers and habitues of pool halls than there are colored men, and at that we have too many colored loafers who ought to be made to go to work or be sent to jail, but if it is reported that some white man has committed a crime, the police do not round up the white pool halls and make indiscriminate arrests by the wholesale, running in hard-working men who may have dropped into such places for a little recreation. Why, then, is this difference made? There is nothing fair about it, and the practice should be stopped. Recently a man was held up and robbed of $20.00 by a Negro. Forty-eight Negroes were arrested and held in custody in an effort to apprehend the criminal. Among these were several waiters and men who were able to give good account of themselves. About the same time Hayden's store was robbed of $65,000; holdups and burglaries by white men were reported to the police, and yet there was no wholesale rounding up of white men, although the police know there are several here of shady reputation, in an effort to apprehend the guilty ones. If the police are going to make wholesale arrests of colored men, every time some colored man commits a crime, is it not fair to request that they follow the same policy whenever a white man is accused of crime?

We met him the other day. He was somewhat excited, indeed, very excited. No, he hadn't been drinking. He met us with the inquiry, "Whata de hella de mattah wida Nebraska, wida Omaha, wida de whola de states? Everybod de crazy.

Tony's not the only one asking this question. We wonder who can answer him. THE PEOPLE MUST BE HEARD. DON'T you know the time has passed when any group of men or women can get together and do all the thinking and planning for others and expect them to accept their conclusions unquestioningly? It is becoming more apparent daily that this is the age of the masses not of the classes. The people have rights, know their rights and will be heard. Autocracy, individual or bureaucratic, is detroned; democracy has begun to reign. CONGRATULATIONS, JUDGE AND MARSHAI THE Monitor extends sinne congratulations to Judge George A. Day upon his elevation to the supreme bench of Nebraska, a well-merited promotion to an eminent jurist and a splendid gentleman. Our felicitations in equal measure and sincerity, we extend to another appreciated friend of many years' standing —Thomas J. Flynn, upon his reappointment as United States marshal, in merited recognition of duties well performed. Judge Day is an ardent republican, politically, and Mr. Flynn an equally enthusiastic democrat. Religiously, they belong to different communions, perhaps as widely separated as in their political affiliations; but what counts most is that they are men from the ground up. Therefore, congratulations, judge and marshal, with the heartfelt hope that higher honors still lie before you. Men are never so ridiculous from the qualities which really belong to them as from those they pretend to possess.

"Anywhere—Providing it be Forward" Just now, at the beginning of 1920, it is interesting to recall the famous remark of James Gordon Bennett, when he sent Henry M. Stanley into the jungles of darkest Africa to "Find Livingston." "Where shall we go?" someone inquired. Quick as a flash came the eternal words: "Anywhere—providing it be forward." That is a fitting and timely slogan for us, this 1920 wonderful year. No backward step this year; it must be a year of Forward March! We must go forward in every field of activity, and at every stage of the game. We must concentrate our forces, and conserve our resources. We must rub elbows of friends, and loyalty to each other, and "be on the job." We must generate and regenerate avalanches of "pep" and enthusiasm. Life's battles of peace need those ingredients, as well as the battles of war. Almost a year ago Lieut. "Jim" Europe, "the noblest Roman of them all," lost his life, because of his desire to go "over the top" in musical inspiration, he urged his drummer to "Put a little more pep in your sticks." But in those very words Jim Europe, aside from his musical achievements, left us an undying legacy in a real slogan for success in life. We must all put a little more pep in our sticks. It matters not the kind of drum we are beating in the parade or concert of life, if we fail to have the kick in our sticks, we will not get very far. And we must go forward! There's a big job on hand. The chief strategists of injustice and destruction are working out campaigns of disaster. They are using their best brains—as little as that may be—and they are putting up their filthy dollars to pay the fiddler. We must use our best brains and our best dollars in the very best and most righteous way to turn back the ungodly attempts to advance further into the land of "Thy Kingdom Come." We have the brains, and we have the dollars, and by the eternal gods, we must be stingy with neither! We must find the Livingstone of justice. "Where shall we go?" "Anywhere—providing it is forward." It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.—Goethe. PERISCOPE.

GIVE INFORMATION TO CENSUS TAKER ‘The Fourteenth United States Census is Important to the Whole Country, and of Unusual Importance at This | Time to the Colored People. | Because of the many economic changes since 1910, the importance of the decennial census to the colored people should not be underestimated. ‘These changes will be a matter of ‘record in the history of the growth of ‘the race, and of the nation, and the ‘statistical information which will be compiled from the data collected by the census enumerators, who will can- vass the United States this month, should constitute a source of reliable information for this and for future generations. ‘Through migration, the colored population of some states has con- siderably increased, while in others it has decreased since the United States ‘census of 1910. Agricultural activi- ties appear to be extending in new di- rections, Thousands of colored men and women have entered into the in- dustrial life of the nation as produe- ers. Indications, in certain states, point to a large increase in home ownership. A substantial growth in the number of business enterprises ‘owned and oeprated by colored men is reflected in their newspapers and magazines, which are growing in ‘number and influence, ‘The number ‘of professional men and women are ‘steadily increasing, and the percent- age of illiteracy is rapidly decreasing. ~The accuracy of the census reports ‘depends largely upon the willingness ‘of each individual to answer fully each ‘question asked by the enumerator, ‘and it is only in this way that reliable data can be obtained from which can be determined the social and economic progress made by each element of the population in the United States, ‘The census bureau emphasizes the point that all information collected by the census enumerators is strictly confidential, It cannot be used as a basis for taxation, for the enforcement of any federal. state or local law, or in any way whatsoever that will cause harm to the person giving it or to his affairs. No one, therefore, should hesitate to give to the census enumerators complete and truthful replies which the enumerators can use in filling out the printed census schedule carried by them, nor should any attempt be made by anyone to cover up the true facts that pertain to each man and woman, Are you a member of the N.

The reason so many men hatk at salads is because they are used as the Clearing house for leftovers. There ts something out of balance with « per son who has not learned to enjoy crisp, well-blended salads, or well-cooked and seasoned vegetables, but no one can be blamed for refusing unattrac tive food. We have favorite foods as we have favorite friends, yet it is not possible nor wise for us to always be served with the foods we like best or asso- date with people always agreenble, Daintiness should be the keynote fn the serving of the summer meal, as at- tractive dishes sharpen the appetite. A salad, a sandwich, a cooling drink with a dish of fruit and « simple cake will make 2 noon meal sufficiently sat. isfying during the hot weather. Such a mea} may be varied with o change of dessert and different kinds of sal- ads and sandwich fillings, so that there will he no monotony. Milk and eggs, custards and frozen dishes are most satisfactory at this tine. Hearty dishes of meats with heavy desserts are best left entirely alone if one would be well. By following the advice of Horace Fletcher and chewing the food three times as long as usual, the appetite is satisfied with a smaller ainount of food and the body has lesx waste to. throw off. thus saving wear on the: human machinery. “Eat less, work | more. worry less. walk more.” Im @ good motte for the whole year as well: ae for hick wanthan: THE CHEERFUL CHERUB Now garbage men do noble work Or so T always view! at Their jobs so disegreeable — Its nice of therm to do it. f Racome a e foe ge Pla 7 be | | 2 pee tn the Woad:Scd. iether THE MONITOR A sunny. bright. and buoyant, chronically buoyant disposition is ‘one of the most desirable and en- viable qualities of character that anyone, man, woman or child. cam Pores, SERVING THE SUMMER MEAL. to &) per cent of ou people) the uxing of left. overs wisely and aecept- ably ix usually a daily problem.

It was Lozado’s enstom, when ew campaign against the central a\ «orl ‘tles was in contemplation, to send his. bodyguard down from their Inirs in the high Sierras to the fertile plains, with orders to cut down all banana plants, ‘thus destroying the chief food supply of the native villages, ‘The peons starved for a while, and watched their women and children starve, then they came tip the moun- tains In a body and begged Lozado to ‘enroll them in his army of bandits to lead them forth to plunder, which for ‘them meant simply food.

The ticket agent said thes had been there since arrival of their train at midnight; that the hotel pro- prietor had agreed to receive them, but had changed his mind before they came. ‘As we looked at them we wondered if we had had something to do with it ‘The masks that all men wear by day were gone: there was a gentle goodness and sweetness in their un- conscious faces. Suddenly they ceased to represent the Negro race, or any- thing else; they were just people, like us. And we wanted them to be com- fortable and happy. We ate little and got away as quickly and quietly as possible, and drove to our next town. Through the wild-rose odors of the cool and silent summer day that unfolded around us the spacious freshness and peace of outdoors, the sense of our own well- being, the question of a great Amer- ican poet teased at our hearts: “Who has given to me this sweet, ‘And given my brother dust to eat, And when will his wage come in?” As it happened, we went into the hotel together. “Are the Jubilee Singers coming here?” “Not if anyone objects.” said the proprietor promptly. “We don't.” said the Passenger un- expectedly. The Lecturer looked at her specu- latively. “No,” he said deliberately. “I asked because the hotel man down the road promised to take them and broke his word, and they need 2 good night’s rest.” In our room he said: “Now you've gone and done it!” “And you are glad,” said she. We found that, instead of a theory, we were facing a condition. Negroes should not be received in hotels fre- quented by white people, but neither should the Jubilee Singers be made to sleep in railroad stations. It was at least clear which was the lesser of the two evils in the case at hand. For the present we were content to let it go at that. We had lost our taste for generalizations. We saw that it was not the individua! matter we had cno- sidered it. Our little stone, cast into the lake, stirred we knew not what far margins with its ripples. And we saw, too, that the thing we did not 4o could have all the force of an inim- jeal deed. We registered thereafter without comment. The Passenger and the the Jubilee women smiled at each other the next time they met, and we went as soon as we had the chance to hear the lecture of the young Negro teacher. It was a simple account of the school he has built up in the Black Belt, where there were none before he came. The schoo] began under the trees on a log, the teacher on one end and his only pupil on the other. Some one gave him the cabin that sheltered his first class, and he and his assist- ants and pupils made it weather-proof and put up the other buildings with their own hands, It is a boarding school. The bays and girls who can afford it are charged eight dollars a month; the others pay their way with hard man- ual work. They have no meat, no sweets, only the plainest clothes. They study no Latin or Greek or higher mathematics, only farming, cooking, housework, horseshoeing, end things like that. They have noth- ing, and they learn nothing that they can do without, Born in the Middle West, educated in a Middle Western university, he de- clined the principalship of a large high school in a great city—a very unusual honor for a Negro—for the chance to help the poorest and most hopeless of his race. He spoke with sincerity, modesty, abundant humor, and touches of bit- terness which we acknowledged as mild when we compared them with the mordant fury the experiences he recounted would have bred in us. We acknowledged the truth of most of his indictment of conditions in the South, and approved the spirit of his plea for that education of his people which he declared to be the only way out. ‘Then the Chautauqua superintend- ent brought him up and introduced him, giving him that “Mr.,” which, in the South, is exclusively the property of the white man, and behind him THE MONITOK “other side” policy in comfort, con- fining the relationship to a polite speaking acquaintance. It probably wouldn't be necessary for the Lec- turer to raise his hat to the Jubilee women, or to appear to decline to do s0; to say “Mr.” or “Mrs.” or to make a point of withholding them. It would have been easy to beg the whole vexed question for at least another summer, if it hadn’t been for the Pas- senger’s smile ard the fact that the Lecturer felt suddenly ashamed of himself. There seemed nothing else for it: he took a long breath, swallowed, and said the “Mr.” when he came to it without hesitation Then off came his hat, and a line was crossed. In the South it used to be a dead line. but if we ever meet the Jubilees there, or anywhere else, look for us on their side of it, please—and this with full knowledge of the profound influences which have drawn the line. That same afternoon in the perlor of the little hotel we had a long talk with one of them, a woman. We shall be grateful to he: always. Until we talked with her, we were uneasy at what we had done, but we had scarcely shaken hands before we knew that it was all right. She had long ago thought her way through onr phase of the problem, and had been watching our progress with a toler- ant and sympathetic interest. li we had arrived at « conclusion opposite from hers, she was sufficiently ac- quainted with the deep bitterness and misunderstanding with which the question was permeated, to know why, to make allowance and forgive. We could never know or deplore the shortcomings of her race as she did. It was with these that she was mainly concerned; that was where her work could count; that was something that she knew would help. Education, moral and mental, was the only way, Why concern herself with the Injus- tice, the cruelty, the intoleranec of the whites? That was a job for white people. Her own lay near at hand and needed all her strength. She, and the others with ber, saw all the time the adjustment of a race, for which they were, in % certain sense, am- bassadors. No hardships which they had to undergo on account of their color could ever be wholly personal. It was their big task. They would not for the world jeopardize the outcome by pettiness or evidence of their own distress. It was, if you will believe us, a very genuine case of noblesse oblige, The summer proved it. The inci-” dent of that night in the waiting room was one of a jong chain. We came to know them very wel’, and we never heard them speak a word in malice, hatred, or unkindness. We drove into towns and fuond them sitting on the station platform drawing the sting from the curiosity of an idle throng by the quiet dignity and urban self- possession of their demeanor, while the superintendent vainly sought for a dwelling sufficiently humble to re- ceive them. As our tribute to them, let us re- cord that on each of these occasions we turned the car's nose toward the hotel that had declined to take them in, made our confession to the pro- prietor, and called upon him to change as we had changed. And it is a pleas- ure to remember that every now and then he did. The conversion of an Alabamian — hall-marked genuine by the pronunciation of every word he uttered—backed by the testimony of his wife, was a cogent argument, We know no more, perhaps, about the “Negro problem” than we did be- fore, but this we do know: the lodg- ment of a human soul in a black body or a white one is an accident—an ac- cident sometimes of terrible signifi- cance, but an accident! The accidental part of life must be adjusted with ‘meticulous care. There is a Negro roblem certainly The South groans under it and bears and forbears, and ee and longs to work out an honest answer. Distrust that South- erner who, freed from {ts octopus ten- tacles, denies it. But above and be- yond al] other things whatsoever, there are men ang women, striving al- ways upward and onward, and always they break through the generaliza- tions with which we encompass them and must be dealt with as human ee We do not know the Jubilees as Ne- see off over a park or a valley or a hillside. They sang the quaint, deep old spirituals simply, earnestly and well. ‘Strange music, that, from the hearts of a race bowed down; shot through. too, in some of its minors, with eerie. barbaric glints of who knows what echoes of jungles and voodooism. There is a strain in it that is surely far older than America. Its weary patience, its child-like freedom from malicé in the face of crushing injus- tice, its sweet, unaffected humility- these are home-grown and jab into your heart, if you are Southern and feel your share of the blame lying heavy upon you. We sat there sometimes and wanted to hear the white race line up with them and sing with the same plan- gent, haunting, inescapable sincerity “It's me, it's me, it’s me, O Lord, Standing in the need of prayer! Not my sister, not my brother. But it’s me, O Lord, Standing in the need of prayer! Not my father, not my mother. But it’s me, O Lord; It's me, it’s me, it’s me, O Lord, Standing in the need of prayer!” How the spirit of the old humble, heavy-laden daye lives in these ca- dences and hurts you as you listen’ Heaven is a place where the black man may “sing and shout. Nobody there to turn me out!" Mr. Advertiser: The Monitor is read in prac- tically every Colored family in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln. It has also a wide circulation in Nebraska and other states. Do You Want This Trade? UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT 1509 CAPITOL AVENUE Phone Douglas 2972 and Wagon Will Call. J.
