STATE PRESENTS EIGHTEEN WITNESSES Indisputable Evidence That Nethaway Actively Participated in Mob and Made Inflammatory Speeches—Defendant's Testimony Corroborated State Witnesses. THE jury in the case of Claude L. Nethaway, charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the lynching of Will Brown, during the rioting of the night of September 28, after being out for twenty-eight hours and failing to agree upon a verdict was dismissed by Judge Sears Friday night. It is said that ballot after ballot showed the same result, seven to five, presumably for conviction, although this was not authoritatively disclosed. County Attorney Shotwell immediately announced that he would place Nethaway on trial just as soon as possible. As announced in our last issue, as we went to press, the defense was presenting its witnesses, of whom there were thirteen. Seven of these were character witnesses, all of whom did not help out the defendant's reputation very much. One, Dr. Akin, said that he was "tricky." When questioned as to his meaning he replied, that one would do well to keep his hand on his pocket book when Nethaway was around. Others testified that he had borne a good reputation as a law-abiding citizen in Florence since the conviction of Chas. Smith, charged with the murder of his wife. Prior to that time and following his wife's murder, his reputation, according to the testimony of some of the witnesses was regarded with suspicion. In his testimony under the grilling of County Attorney Shotwell, Nethaway corroborated the testimony of practically every witness introduced by the state. He admitted that he had made a speech referring to the murder of his wife by "a nigger." He admitted that he had called Sheriff Clark vile names, because he was trying to protect the prisoner and yelled "Oh, you niger-lovers, we'll show you." He denied that he urged the crowd to "get the nigger and lynch him." He admitted that he had boasted that he had "fired several shots into that nigerer's carcas," but said that he was only joking when he said it. He corroborated practically every material allegation made by the state's witnesses. A well-staged dramatic scene which had no effect upon the spectators, but to fill them with contempt and disrust, marked the afternoon session of Thursday afternoon when Attorney Harry Fleharty, Nethaway's counsel, referred to the murder of Nethaway's wife, supposedly by a Negro, two years ago. Nethaway who on the witness stand had repeatedly referred to the murder of his wife without evincing the slightest emotion, covered his face with his hands and broke into violent sobbing. His sister, Mrs. Sophie Ballinger, drew near, put her arm around his shoulder and strove to assuage his apparently uncontrollable grief. Eighteen witnesses were placed on the stand by the state, nearly all of whom testified that they had heard Nethaway making inflammatory speeches, to the crowd during the evening of the riot, and others that they had seen him leading the mob. So strong was the evidence of the state that the defense did not successfully rebut it, but rested its case upon the theory that the conspiracy to lynch Brown already existed before the arrival of Nethaway at the court house and that he took no active part in the riot. The opening argument to the jury was made by Deputy County Attorney Arthur Rosenblum. The closing argument was made by County Attorney Shotwell, who made a strong plea for conviction on the testimony of witnesses who declared they had heard Nethaway urging the mob to lynch the Negro. THE MONITOR SHERBURNE CHARGES MEN NEEDLESSLY KILLED Popular Commander of 167th Field Artillery, Ninety-second Division, Lives Some Plain Facts Touching Justice Day Fight. "GENERAL STAFF GANG" DOMINATED AFFAIRS Lives of American Troops Needlessly Sacrificed Because High Command Did Not Specifically Revoke Previous Orders. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.—Lives of American troops were needlessly sacrificed on armistice morning because the American high command at Chaumont did not specifically revoke previously issued orders to attack. Brigadier General J. H. Sherburne of Boston, former commander of the artillery brigade of the Ninety-second (Negro) division, last Thursday told a house subcommittee. General Sherburne strongly condemned the methods of what he referred to as the "general staff gang" at Chaumont, criticizing particularly a "dominating triumvirate." General Sherburne endeared himself to the men of his command because of his stubborn fight for and his determination to prove that colored men were perfectly competent to serve both as officers and men in an artillery corps. It is to General Sherburne's efforts and his unyielding faith in colored men that the artillery corps was formed. He commanded the 167th brigade, composed of the 349th, 350th and 351st field artillery corps. According to General Sherburne in his testimony before the committee, corps, divisions and brigade commanders stood in such "piteous fear" of the Chaumont staff that they did not dare, in most cases, to revoke on their own authority the order to attack on November 11, even though they knew to a moral certainty that an armistice had been signed. The witness said he did not refer to Generals Pershing, Liggett or Bullard when he spoke of the "general staff triumvirate" at Chaumont. The only officer he named was Brigadier General Fox Connor, chief of operation. No French or British troops, except a few Canadians attacked on armistice day, General Sherburne declared. AN ARTIST CONCEALED UNDER JANITOR'S SMOCK Roy Cole Paints Pershing's Portrait in Oil—Galas Inspiration From Newspaper Photograph. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 14.—A Kansas City artist has produced a picture of General Pershing which is different from the others. The difference is not so much in the picture itself, an oil painting, 31x21 inches, showing the general on a flag hung balcony, but in the painter, Roy Cole. Cole, a Negro, is head janitor in the Peoples' Trust building, 1120 Walnut street, and in the eight years he has been painting portraits he never has received a formal lesson. His only knowledge of technique, besides that gained from practice, has been acquired from advice given him by artists employed by an advertising company in the building. Cole never has seen General Pershing. He found the inspiration for the picture in a newspaper photograph. Cole's work first attracted attention here when he painted a portrait of Senor Manual Mora, a singer. NEGROES BOLSHEVIET PROPAGANDISTS, ALLEGES HOYNE Chicago Prosecutor Makes Extravagant Statements—Claims Palmer Plan of Departure Failure—American Agitators Increasing. Chicago, Jan. 14.—State's Attorney Hoyne charged last week that Attorney General Palmer's plan to end radicalism by deportation of soviet leaders was a failure. He pointed out that more agitators are coming into the United States through Canada and Mexico than the government is deporting and made public reports of his operatives to show that Negroes and other American citizens were spreading bolshevist propaganda. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 15, 1920 AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY FOR INTELLECTUAL ADVANCEMENT AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY FOR INTELLECTUAL ADVANCEMENT Holds Twenty-third Annual Meeting—Editor of Messenger, Ultra-Radical Magazine, Given Opportunity to Express Views, Which Do Not Meet With Favor—Grimke Retires as President—Officers Elected. (Special to The Monitor by Robert A. Pelham.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2.—The American Negro Academy, an organization of authors, scholars, artists, and other distinguished men of African descent, for the promotion of letters, science and art, and to foster as far as possible a form of intellectual taste, convened in this city during the past week, and its four sessions, covering two days were well attended. An unusually large number of members attended the business sessions. Among those in attendance the following were noted: Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore, Md.; W. H. Ferris of Philadelphia, Pa.; Prof. J. E. K Aggery of Livingston college, Salisbury, N. C.; W. Ashble Hawkins of Baltimore, Md.; John R. Clifford, Martinsburg, W. Va.; Robert T. Browne, Arthur A. Schomburg and John E. Bruce ("Blue Grit") of New York City; Judge R. H. Terrell, Rev. W. H. Brooks, Rev. F. J. Grimke, Rev. L. Z. Johnson, Prof. Carter G. Woodson, Prof. George W. Cook, E. C. Williams, L. M. Harshaw, T. Montgomery Gregory, F. H. M. Murray, Neval H Thomas, John W. Cromwell, A. H. Grimke and Robert A. Pelham of Washington, D. C. For the second time in the history of the organization the academy gave a place on its program to a non-member, Mr. A. Philip Randolph, editor of the Messenger of New York City, being the person so honored, with "The New Radicalism of the Negro" as the subject of his address. For about two hours Mr. Randolph portrayed in a calm conversational manner the present world conditions. His language was chaste, his figures graphic, his gestures simple yet sufficiently appropriate and forceful to make a most profound impression. In his opinion, we are certain to have a revolution in the United States none the less so because it may be bloodless. He unhesitatingly insisted that the Negro masses should follow the lead of the "New Negro" in their line-up with labor in order, as he said, to be on top in the general round-up; his analysis of the situation being that in the impending conflict between capital and labor the latter is sure to win. He divided the classes of Negro leaders into three groups. The first or the "old crowd politicians," he called the "right wing," and claimed that they were absolutely wrong and responsible for all the ills the race is heir to. "Having been 'bought and paid for' they are not worthy of leadership," said he. In his second group he placed the members of the Academy labeling them and those of their ilk as "the centris"—"the intelligencia" of the race. Nor were they deemed capable leaders, because though honest, they were vascillating. The third group, he designated as the "left wing," of which he is a bright and shining light. This group he held were right beyond the shadow of a doubt. His address was a masterly presentation of a well defined theory, and an animated discussion followed, only to be cut short for lack of time. In his rebuttal, he lost much of his poise by drifting into ridicule—a mistake common to most young debaters. Among those who joined in the discussion were: Prof. J. E K. Aggery, W. H. Ferris, Robert T. Browne, F. H. N. Murray, Prof Carter G. Woodson and Judge R. H. Terrell. Mr. Randolph's critics claim that he signally failed to define his position on the "open" or "closed" shop, or cite any history that would serve to prove his contention that labor would keep any of "the promises" now being so profusely made now that the battle is on and the Negro is wanted. Judging the labor group by the same token as he judged the "old crowd" his strictures on the latter could be more consistently applied to the former, for organized labor has ever been the bête noir of the Negro everywhere in this country. Mr. John R. Clifford, editor of the Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va. was first on the program with a paper, "A New Religion for the Negro." He called for the weeding out of all unworthy ministers—contended for an exalted womanhood and the proper training of children, and urged "a consecrated and able ministry to grapple with the problems that confront the race" as a means of their speedy and proper solution. President Archibald H. Grimke, in his annual address entitled "The Shame of America," graphically outlined the history of the race in the United States and most forcefully portrayed the record of the white man as a continuing line of broken promises. Said he in closing: "Friends, we are marching through a living and lowering present into the unknown, through an enemy's land at the summons of duty. We are to face great labors, great dangers, to fight like men our passions and American caste prejudices and oppression, and God helping us to conquer them." The paper of Pishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Md., was a historical presentation of the evolution of the different constitutions in Haiti and the part the United States is now playing in the affairs of that country. He convincingly showed by quotations from their several constitutions that the Haitian government needs no mandatory, whether American or not. The several papers were well received and the speakers highly complimented. After fifteen years of continuous service as president, Mr. A. H. Grimke asked to retire and was elected president emeritus. Rev. F. J. Grimke, who had served as treasurer since the organization was founded, also retired. Each gentleman was presented with a fine fountain pen as a token of appreciation of services rendered and a reminder of their efforts for the intellectual improvement of the race. Mr. John W. Cromwell, who had served as corresponding secretary from the birth of the Academy, was elected to the presidency as a reward for merit. He is credited with having been especially active in arranging for all the excellent programs presented to the public in the past 23 years. JAPANESE MAY OBTAIN PORTION OF SIBERIA Head of Omsk Government Said to Be In Dire Straits. London, Jan. 14.—A Moscow dispatch quotes a Dorpat report as saying that Admirirla Kolchak, head of the Omsak government, has notified the United States government that he will cede part of Siberia to Japan unless the allies send further assistance to the White armies to save Russia. "The Red Cavalry," says the dispatch, "is at the gates of Taganrog and Mariupol and the fall of Novocherkassk is considered imminent, as is Lika, a junction where the Red cavalry took 4,500 prisoners. "General Denikine's troops are fleeing from Tsaritsan in panic, in the direction of Tikhoryetskaya (Kuban province), being cut off from Rostov and at the same time squeezed up on two sides. "The road to the Caucausu is now open from the northeast."

SAM LANGFORD TO PARIS; MAY MEET CARPENTIER Famous Heavyweight Will Sail For France With Manager Carr Late in February—Three Bouts at French Capital—Carr Accepts All Terms. DEMPSEY MAY LOSE CHANCE FOR BIG PURSE MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 14.—There is a possibility that Jack Dempsey may lose out for the chance for the quarter of a million dollar purse, providing plans of Monsieur Vienne and Decoin, French promoters, materialize, according to B. F. Steinel. Milwaukee, representative of the French promoters. Howard Carr of Chicago, manager of Sam Langford, colored heavy-weight, was in Milwaukee January 6 conferring with Steinel and while here, accepted the cabled offer of the French promoters to bring Langford to Paris for a series of bouts, which it is expected will lead up to a battle with Georges Carpentier. Manager Carr will leave late this month or early in February and in addition to Langford he will take George Wilson also, another heavy-weight boxer, to France. According to the present plans, Langford is to engage in three bouts in Paris, the first one with Niles, ex-heavyweight champion, the second with Paul Hams, present title holder, and the final bout with Carpentier. The French promoters have named the terms under which Langford is to box and Carr has accepted all of them. Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, in a letter received by Steinel said that he had the numerous offers under consideration at present and that he did not intend to close with any one for some time to come. SAW SERVICE OVERSEAS; ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY Captain Ferguson, Commended for Meritorious Service, and Prominent in American Legion, Active Candidate for West Virginia Legislature. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Jan. 14. Capt. G. E. Ferguson of Charleston has announced that he will be a candidate for the house of delegates of the West Virginia legislature in the 1920 election, on the republican ticket, subject to the action of the May primary. He is the head of the local colored post of the American Legion and member of the state executive committee of the soldiers' organization from which he has just resigned in accordance with its by-laws, dealing with the members entering political life. Captain Ferguson was educated at the Garnet high school and the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, and subsequently taught in the district and city schools of the state. He entered the real estate business and organized and promoted the Institute Building and Land Company of which he is president. Soon after the declaration of war, he enlisted and was commissioned captain of infantry, seeing service as commander of Company M, 365th Infantry part of the "Buffalo Division," in England and France. He was commended in telegraph communication by Major General Martin, commander of the 86th Division, for his success in a special government assignment. He was commended by the commandant of the Divisional School of Arms for the highest grade of the division in a musketry course. Following the war, he was re-commissioned captain in the regular army reserve. He was active in organizing the American Legion, being a delegate from West Virginia to the St. Louis convention. BRYAN'S FRIENDS TO ENTER HIS NAME Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 14.—William J. Bryan will be entered in Michigan's presidential preference primary as a candidate for endorsement as democratic nominee for president, according to local friends of the former secretary.

MANIFESTO DISCLOSES PURPOSE OF MOVEMENT NEW YORK, Jan. 14—The communist party against which the recent federal raid was especially directed represents the advocates of violence and "direct action" and heads its international membership with the names of Lenine and Trotzky Recrnits Ignorant Aliens. In the United States, it has found its main sources of recruits among the most ignorant of the alien population and its principal strength has been in the congested districts of New York and Chicago. What the communists, who take their name from the wild orgy of bloodshed and anarchy which Paris experienced after the Franco-Prussian war, really stands for, was set forth in a manifesto by Lenine, which was produced in evidence at today's hearing before the Lusk legislative committee in Rochester. This manifesto declared that the communists must plan for the disarmament of the "bourgeoisie," the arming of the "laborers" and the formation of a red army similar to that of the Russian soviet. It declared that conquest of political power should mean not merely a change in personnel, but annihilation of all opponents. Find Schools of Bolshevism. In the United States the organization of the communist party had reached the extent that Sunday schools had been formed in New York, Rochester and other cities, where the children of aliens were taught the communist doctrines and encouraged to ridicule all religious beliefs. Evidence was introduced before the Lusk committee to show that a close connection existed between the American communist organization and the bureau maintained in New York city by L. C. A. K. Martens, the self-styled ambassador of soviet Russia. The growth of the propaganda spread by the communists in the United States was indicated by evidence showing that leaflets setting forth their principles have been distributed throughout the country at the rate of 200,000 to 500,000 daily. The intimation that radical activity in this country had reached the stage of open violence came on May day of last year, when the nation was shocked by the discovery of a country-wide plot to assassinate more than a score of high government officials and prominent citizens. SENATE TO HEAR ABOUT LYNCHINGS IN THE THE UNITED STATES New York, Jan. 14.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has announced that preparations were being made for a congressional hearing which it is expected will be held in January on the resolutions for federal investigation of lynching and mob violence in the United States. Leaders of the Negroes in the United States, as well as prominent white men, will be called to testify at the hearing. Officers of the association stated they expected to prove the failure of local government in dealing with the growing menace of lynching and mob violence. Startling evidence, in the form of an affidavit and statement from a white man, will be offered regarding the exploitation of Negro tenant farmers which led to the trouble in Arkansas, it was announced EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN Madrid, January 14. — Earthquake shocks were felt in the interior of the Canary islands January 4, according to dispatches from Las Palmas.

Educational Campaign to Teach Proper Handling of Money—Practical Program Outlined by Committee. Next week is "National Thrift Week" in Omaha, In fact, the "week" begins Saturday and will continue through all next week. National Thrift week is a campaign of economic education and is intended to help men to think straight and act wisely about their money matters in the round of earning, spending, saving and giving. It has the endorsement of the manufacturers, the wholesalers, the retailers, the bankers, the insurance men, the employers, the builders, the labor unions, the Chamber of Commerce, the Real Estate Board all denominations of the churches, the Credit Men's association, and just about every other organization of business or worker. The movement started three years ago somewhere in the east but this year is the first time that Thrift week has been brought home to Omaha. Thrift week is not intended as a time in which to teach the hoarding of money. True Thrift, as pointed out by the committee in charge, does not consist of saving every cent possible and in hoarding it away. Rather, Thrift week is intended as a time in which to teach the proper and wise spending of money; it is a time in which to inculcate the principle that what a dollar in money is spent, a dollar's worth of something should be secured in turn; that some portion of the monthly income should be laid aside for a rainy day; that there is a certain legitimate speculation which may be indulged in and that there is a "wildcatting" speculation which should be avoided and shunned; in fact, it is a week in which to teach THRIFT. The program for the week is as follows: Saturday, January 17—Bank Day. Every bank in Omaha will be open Saturday evening from 7 to 9 o'clock and special invitations are given to every man and woman in Omaha to come into one of these banks and get acquainted with the bankers. Visitors will be shown "behind the scenes" in a big banking institution. Sunday, January 18—"Share With Others" day. All the churches in Omaha are behind the movement for this day. All ministers and preachers of every denomination will devote a portion of their sermons on this day to the Thrift movement. Arrangements for Thrift Sunday were completed at a dinner earlier this weeks at which Protestant, Catholic and Jewish ministers to the number of 100 sat down together. Monday, January 19—Life Insurance day. To emphasize the value of life insurance in protecting widow and children after the wage earner is no longer able to work or is dead. The life insurance companies are arranging a special plan of disseminating information for this day. Tuesday, January 20—Own Your Own Home day. To emphasize the desirability of owning one's own home. Furthermore, a plan by which every person may make a start towards owning a home will be made public by the Real Estate board. Wednesday, January 21—"Make a Will" day. To bring home to every man the importance of making a will in order that his property may be distributed just as he wishes it distributed. On this day the lawyers of Omaha will write a will for any man or woman without one cent of charge. Thursday, January 22—Thrift in Industry day. To emphasize the identical interests of employer and employee. The committees which have this day in charge will make public, at that time, several plans for Thrift which have met the endorsement of workers and managers in some of the great industrial organizations of the country and which are proving of tremendous importance. Friday, January 23—Family Budget day. To emphasize the advantages of using the budget plan for the family finances and of keeping an accurate account of all income and all expenses. The making and keeping of a budget is said to be the best plan yet evolved for saving. Learn where the money goes. Saturday, January 24—"Pay Yours Bills" day. This is intended as a day upon which to teach people the moral obligation of paying their bills promptly when due. The National Thrift Week committee, composed of thirty-six of the foremost business men, financiers and thinkers of the country, have evolved a set of rules or suggestions which have been named "The Ten Financial Commandments." Here they are: 1—Work and Earn 2—Make a Budget. 3—Keep a Record of Expenditures. 4—Have a Bank Account. 5—Carry Life Insurance. 6—Make a Will. 7—Own Your Own Home. 8—Pay Your Bills Promptly. 9—Invest in Government Securities. 10—Share With Others. The local Thrift Week committee, of which D. C. Buell, manager of the Railroad Educational Bureau, is head, has arranged a series of contests which is attracting wide attention in the city. One of these is "Can a Man Marry on $125 per Month?" The winner of the prize gets $15 in cash. The answer, which must not be longer than 250 words, can be sent by mail to W. W. Head, president Omaha National bank; J. W. Gamble, First National bank, or to the Thrift Committee at 1203 Farnam street. Then there are the prizes for the best family budget for an income of $30 or $50 per week which may be based on theory, and another prize for the best budget for a salary of $125 per month to be submitted from an actual case. For the schools, both public, parochial and private, there is a $10 prize offered for each day of Thrift week, the prize to go to the best essay on the subject for the day. Teachers in every school room in the city have explained the rules to the pupils and will act as the judges for their respective rooms. The final judgment will be given by the higher school authorities. National Thrift Week is to be an annual occurrence in Omaha in future years, the Thrift committee has announced. SOME LEADING EDPTORIALS A MAN'S CHANCE NOT MONUMENTS There is a movement on foot in Washington, D. C., to erect a monument to commemorate the part colored soldiers and sailors played in the European war. In addressing a meeting in that city a few days ago, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, himself a Southerner, praised the heroism and loyalty of the black man from the Revolutionary War to the spanking of the Huns. In his remarks he is quoted as saving: "It is fitting that here at Washington a suitable memorial of devotion of colored troops should be erected. * * * As a token of a country's recognition of the courage of Negroes of this and other wars, the people of every part of this republic will join in hastening passage of the bill for a suitable monument. It will be an incentive to the youth of the race to emulate the virtues of men whose deeds it will commemorate." Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and other noted men spoke endorsing the movement. This is all good and commendable, but— What the colored American wants is a MAN'S CHANCE; an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labors as other American citizens and the full, free, unrestricted and unlimited exercise of his rights guaranteed him under the federal constitution. The greatest contribution that the American congress and conscience can make the black man will not be a monument, perishable and subject The Omaha Nation Bank FARNAM AT SEVEN Establis The Omaha National Bank FARNAM AT SEVENTEENTH STREET 54 Years of Service to This Community J.

Monuments on one hand and moblaw on the other do not appeal much to the victims of such damnable and diabolical deeds as infest and infect this country. It is really amusing to see how those in charge of the affairs of state beat around the bush, diplomatically avoiding any contention or demand or utterance for a fair and square deal for all men, and for relegating to the political scrapheep all caste and class legislation and customs and practices diametrically opposite and antagonistic to Americanism and democracy. Give us real, unadulterated democracy and the monuments will take care of themselves. Any monument constructed or erected in the face of the treatment accorded the race in America will be a mockery, sham and camouflage.

A new record in deep-sea diving has been established by use of a device invented by an American Negro. This man, a mechanic, previously had proved himself a daring diver, but it was the success of a special appliance and not his daring that made possible the record. Thus the ability of the Negro is further demonstrated. According to the Christian Science Monitor: "Is investigations at the patent office in Washington show upward of four hundred patents taken out by Negroes. These are for inventions in many fields, varying all the way from mechanisms for the lubrication of machinery to improvements in telephone and telegraph instruments. As long ago as 1792 Thomas Jefferson was so impressed with the astronomical observations of an American Negro that he presented records of them to the Academy of Sciences in Paris." These proofs of Negro ability in varied fields should be welcomed by the black race. The Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, is anxious to learn how many colored Presbyterians are in Omaha. It will be appreciated if all such will send their names and address to The Monitor office. He is not worthy the honeycomb that shuns the hive because the bees have stings.—Shakespeare.

Few people know that the whimsical title, "The Day of Dupes" has been given to the 11th of November, 1630, and that it was so named on the occasion of the triumph of Cardinal Richelieu over his enemies, who imagined they had cast him to the ground, never to rise again. Marie de Medici had prevailed upon her weakling son, Louis XIII, to dismiss him from office as prime minister, and this scheming woman had no difficulty in persuading the fickle and weak-minded king to carry out her wishes, and, furthermore, to raise to that dignity Richelieu's mortal enemy, the Marshal De Meriline. Richelieu was prevailed upon by his friends to make one last effort to prevent the ruin which seemed ready to fall on him. With this view he proceeded to Versailles, then only a small hunting lodge recently purchased by Louis, where he had an interview with his sovereign. The result was that the king again surrendered himself into the cardinal's hands, and Richelieu succeeded in binding the chains on Louis more firmly than ever, establishing himself with a sway which was absolute. He did not fail to take vengeance on his enemies, and among others the Marshal De Merrillac was brought to the scaffold.

Prof. Jeffries, Floor SION 50 CENTS Refreshments that'll please you --- (Nine," spoke Adrian Pearce, indicating his floor to the elevator conductor. "Eight, please," supplemented a mischief-eyed girl at his side. She had once done stenographic work for the young lawyer and they were on pleasant speaking terms. She emphasized the "please," and Adrian recognized an implied reproach, but he spoke, low enough for the conductor to hear. "I said 'please' in my heart, Miss Adams, feeling duly grateful for the willing and pleasant service we all receive on the cars in this building. Do you know that I shake hands in spirit with every smiling person I meet? As upon any little to who looks at me I bestow a mental hug and it brightens my day." "And I am so far from babyhood!" mourned Myra Adams daringly, and left at her floor with a bewitching, though flirtatious laugh. It was that evening that Myra mentioned Adrian to her closest friend, Adele Bartlett. There was a wide gap socially between the two girls, for Adele was an heiress, but their mothers had been close friends in their youth. Adele, sedate and lovely, for both her parents were dead, was very fond of her less fortune favored friend, whose bright free ways showed a happy spirit under all circumstances. "The only fault with Mr. Pearce," observed Myra, "is that he doesn't in the least know what flirting means. I think he is the finest gentleman I ever met. He has very little business, for they say he will never take a case unless his client is absolutely in the right. He is the soul of goodness and never seems to begrudge his services for the poor and distressed. He got me my present position." "He must, indeed, be a model man," said Adole. "You should know him, Adele," declared Myra; "you must know him. Somehow he is just your kind—a great thinker and so original. All he seems to care for is exerting a good influence." But Adrian Pearce was neither uncanny nor an eccentric. There had been born in him a purity of impulse and thought that distinguished him from ordinary men. He was intuitively humane and law was to him justice sheer and simple. He was invited to the Bartlett house by Myra during a social function and there was a dreamy, satisfied expression in Adele's eyes after he had left. Adele's fair cheeks paled and her lips tremored as Myra said one day: "Mr. Pearce is about to give up his office on account of unprofitable practice and is going to South America with some great railroad project," and when Adrian called that evening Adele found it difficult to conceal her vivid emotions. As he held her hand at parting his words bore an undertone of sadness. "I shall miss you greatly. Miss Bartlett," he said. "I shall not cease to think of you always. If I succeed I shall return." "Oh. I so hope you will!" spoke Adele fervently, and his eyes lightened and expressed emotions that caused her to thrill and quiver. She sat alone after he had left, unable to cast off the spell his coming had evoked. In a dream mood akin to half somnolence she suddenly started up. To her overstrained senses it seemed as though an impalpable presence had entered the room and that she felt a soft caressing pressure upon her lips. She flushed and palpitated. Had this mysterious man in whom she was so interested, who sent his thoughts out after others to console, to cheer, wafted to her a true "soul kiss?" A new life was born in her. She arose, ordered her automobile and followed out an urgent impulse. Only a few days before a friend, Mrs. Wynne, a widow, had told her of a just claim for a large amount she had against the wealthy former partner of her dead husband but had not the means to prosecute it. For hours Adele was closed with this lady. Adrian Pearce did not give up his office. There came to him the next day the widow friend of Adele. He had no knowledge of their mutual acquaintanceship. The case was placed in his hands and its merit involving a just claim aroused his truest interest and attention. He won the case and was the recipient of a large fee besides acquiring fixed professional prestige. It was a few days after that when he entered his office to hear voices in the inner room. Mrs. Wynne was there, and Adole. He heard the latter say: "I must hurry away, for if Mr Pearce met me here with you he might suspect"—and just there she came face to face with the young lawyer and flushed crimson. "I overheard you. Miss Bartlett," spoke Adrian gravely, gently. "You sent me this client and financed the case. I am glad I can repay you, but the noble motive that impelled you to aid a struggling lawyer to his place in life I can never forget." She swayed unsteadily under his grateful glance. Then she returned it, and in her eyes there was something that told Adrian Pearce that to his moneyed gain and fame there had been added—love. PALESTINE. TEXAS. weather in this part of the country.

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. 4 SOME weeks ago, The Monitor said that County Attorney Shotwell had a difficult task on his hands in his fearless and commendable efforts to convict the rioters and murderers for every member of the mob who actively participated in or aided or abetted the lynching of Will Brown is a murderer—who brought dishonor to Omaha last September. We said his task was a difficult one, because of the sympathy of many of the onlookers and bystanders, who would be unwilling and reluctant witnesses, and because of the further fact that active members of the mob would not testify truthfully against one another. We, however, stated that despite the difficulty of securing testimony, we believed that every participant and ringleader who had been indicted by the grand jury should be brought to trial and vigorously prosecuted, in order that Omaha's honor might be vindicated and the necessity for the maintenance of the majesty and supremacy of the law as the only safeguard for civilization unquestionably established in this municipality and commonwealth. That we did not misjudge the task before the authorities is proven by the outcome of three major cases which have been brought to trial, those of Snyder, Davis and Nethaway, accused of conspiracy to murder; and in the case of Davis, with assault with intent to kill Mayor Smith. In the case of Snyder, the jury after long deliberations, brought in a verdict of acquittal on the major charge, although he is still held for trial on the charge of rioting; in that of Davis, the jury after being out for more than two days and standing nine for conviction and three for acquittal was discharged. In the case of Nethaway, after twenty-eight hours of deliberation the jury standing seven to five and reporting that they were unable to agree were discharged. Davis and Nethaway were remanded for a new trial, that of Davis being in process as we go to press. The prosecution of all these cases by the state has been vigorous. The state has presented evidence that to the mind of the average fair-minded person seemed conclusive. The strength of the prosecution is attested by the long deliberations of the jurors. The failure to secure a verdict in these cases causes serious questions to arise. We simply ask one at this time: Does the non-conviction of rioters by juries in the face of the strongest evidence reflect the prevailing sentiment of the citizens of Omaha? We hope not. But this is a question that the citizens of Omaha must seriously face and answer. THE THRIFT CAMPAIGN Briefly stated, the thrift campaign is a concerted and wisely-directed effort to get all the American people to make a wise, judicious and economical use of their money; to live within their means; to discourage extravagance; to spend a little less than they earn; to lay aside something for the inevitable rainy day, so as to have something to depend upon in their old age. To encourage thrift. Next week is to be devoted to a nation-wide educational campaign. No group of people need to be taught the value of thrift more than do we. The American people in general are great spenders and we as an integral part of the American people out-do any other racial group within the national family in spending. By carefully compiled statistics, it has been shown that, in proportion to our income, the colored American outclasses all others in the amount of money he spends. We spend more for food, clothing and luxuries than any other people. Within the last ten years, we have begun to realize the necessity of saving our money and as a result our savings have mounted to high figures, but the frugal, thrifty, wise-spending, saving class among us is largely in the minority. This should be changed. We must not rest content until this minority becomes a majority. This is precisely what the thrift campaign seeks to do for all the people, or to put it in the language of the local chairman for the Thrift Week campaign, "to help men think straight, and act wisely about their money matters in the matter of earning, spending, saving, investing and giving." We urge upon our readers everywhere to realize the necessity of wisely using their money and this of course means to live within one's means and to save something regularly and systematically, to protect their families by taking out life insurance, to buy homes. If you have not done so before, begin now by starting a savings bank account, if you can start it with only a dollar. If you haven't a dollar, get a little dime bank and begin saving your dimes and they will soon mount into dollars. We as a race are not a lazy people. We are industrious, but as a rule, as a class we live up to every cent we earn and in our anxiety to keep up with the other fellow too frequently run into debt. The nation sees the necessity of a thrift campaign for all the American people. We certainly need one. SOUND ADVICE. THE New York Amsterdam News one of our mostly highly esteemed exchanges, which in common with a vast majority of our race publications is doing excellent service for our people and in this for the entire country, has the happy faculty of driving home much needed truths in a most effective manner. Here is some sound advice given in one of its recent brief editorials which we heartily endorse and commend to the thoughtful consideration of our readers: "Don't forget the way to the savings bank. As long as the surplus dollar remains in your trousers you are likely to get rid of it for something you can well do without. When it has been planted in the savings bank you will think twice before taking it out to spend for something you can do without. And a dollar where you can get it, when you really need it, is one of the best and surest friends you can have in any time of trouble. If you don't believe it, try to borrow a dollar from your best friend and learn how many excuses he can offer in three minutes to show you why he can't do it. You save the pennies and the dollars will save themselves. Try it." AERIAL MAIL LAST Thursday marked an historic and revolutionary event. It was the formal opening of delivery by mail by aeroplane between Chicago and Omaha. The flight from Chicago to Omaha was made in four hours and six minutes. The distance by air line between the two cities is 440 miles. The plane averaged about 110 miles an hour. This seems almost incredible; but it is the truth. The plane that left Omaha for Chicago met with a mishap just east of Des Moines; but up to that time it had equalled the speed of the west-bound flyer. It has been proven that a letter can be mailed in Omaha or Chicago in the morning and be delivered in these cities in the afternoon of the same day. Aerial mail will revolutionize the delivery of mail. Science is working miracles daily. THE MONITOR If the government reports are to be believed, and there is no reason to doubt them, the deportation of the "undesirables" who were accused of plotting against the United States found their most active and willing recruits among the most ignorant of aliens who are congested in large cities. And yet these "ignorant aliens" are preferred to native-born loyal Americans, whose skins are black, and are given privileges which the latter are denied. There is, however, this consoling and encouraging thought, that some day, SOME DAY, America will realize what a valuable asset is hers in her citizens of color. In the meanwhile, let us without malice or ill-will, continue to do our duty and prove ourselves men. But, of course, this does not mean that we are not going to lawfully contend for our constitutional rights. To fail to do this would be to prove ourselves less than men and unworthy of our citizenship. THE Monitor is favorable towards union labor. For this reason we regret exceedingly that union pressmen and feeders have gone on a strike in admittedly the three fairest shops in Omaha. The Waters-Barnhart Printing Company has been repeatedly quoted for its fairness. The Beacon Press and the National Printing Company are in the same class. It impresses us as a grave mistake to cripple one's friends. It looks like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. We hope that matters may speedily adjust themselves in justice to all concerned. WE cannot too frequently urge upon our people everywhere to be careful of their conduct and show themselves true gentlemen and gentlewomen. Good manners always mark the gentleman. And, by the way do you know, that it is wise to remember that a gentleman or lady will never try to insult you, and knowing this, it will be wise for you to determine that he or she who is not cannot insult you? This is a pretty good thing to remember. The important thing, however, is for you under all circumstances to show yourself a gentleman. THE Monitor could not permit the opening of the aerial mail route between Omaha and Chicago to pass without having some part in that historic event. The first air mail delivery out of Omaha carried a letter to Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender from the editor of The Monitor. The Monitor tries to be always on the job. GOSH! HOW THEY CROWDED. NEGROES Crowd Court Room at Nethaway Trial," prominent front page headline in Omaha Evening Bee, Wednesday, January 7.

Nethaway before a jury in District Judge Sears' court today." G'long, chile; who said anything about Ananias?

GOOD MANNERS MONITOR ON JOB Doubtless, it will prove interesting to many of our readers to learn that for many years there has existed in Washington D. C., a society among colored people for the cultivation of literature and art. It is known as the Negro Academy. Founded about a quarter of a century ago by the learned Alexander Crummell, for many years rector of St. Luke's church, it has done a remarkable work for the advancement of science, art and literature among our people. It has stimulated intellectual development and historical research. Its membership is composed of some of the brightest minds in the country. The report of its annual meeting published elsewhere in this issue will prove interesting reading. The Monitor wishes the Negro Academy continued success. THE NETHAWAY TRIAL. The trial of Claude L. Nethaway, which has been going on all week, has been one of the most intensely interesting of any of the riot cases tried thus far. At this writing, the Nethaway jury was still out, indicating that there was not a unanimity of opinion in the case. Whatever may be the jury's verdict, however, the evidence given has been both sensational and extraordinary. Nethaway admitted inciting the members of the mob to the act of lynching the Negro, Brown, excusing himself with the assertion that a Negro had been found guilty of killing Mrs. Nethaway. Nethaway's theatrical and spectacular actions the last two years have been a matter in which newspapers interested themselves very much. To a certain extent there has been a popular prejudice against him which the general public has not been able to cast aside. Despite the conviction of the Negro who was charged with the slaying of his wife, there have been open charges that he was not guilty and that Nethaway himself knew more about the matter than he has told. These facts have been cited during the trial and hints by Nethaway's attorneys that a fair trial for him was impossible have been heard. The result of the trial will have an important bearing on other cases to be tried for similar offenses. The lynching was of an unprecedented sort and even those who were not particularly interested in the fate of Negro Brown, have felt that drastic action was necessary to prevent similar outbreaks in the future. Much speculation has been heard as to the outcome of the Nethaway trial and the jury's verdict will doubtless have effect of showing the result of public opinion in general.—The Mediator (Omaha), January 9, 1920. PANAMA CANAL TOLLS YEAR $7,000,000 IN YEAR Panama, Jan. 14—Traffic through the Panama canal in 1919 exceeded that of any previous year, 2,396 ships of 7,128,000 net tons, in addition to naval ships displacing 1,000,000 tons, passing through the waterway. The cargoes of the merchant ships aggregated 7,711,000 tons. Ships measuring 7,000 tons, carrying 10,000 tons of cargo, were 2 per cent greater than in any previous year. December broke the monthly record, 283 ships of 957,000 net tons, carrying cargoes of 953,000 tons, traversing the canal. The total tolls collected amounted to $891,373 for December, and $6,972,000 for the year.

Going Backward Going Backward Just suppose we had to go back to harvesting by hand. Think of the number of men it would take, the time it would require, and the great loss that would result. Then suppose you had to go back to the old days before the coming of the telephone. You would have to reorganize your whole business, change all your methods of buying and selling. You would have to reorganize your home, too. Today the telephone is a part of the daily life of more than half the people of this country. It influences the ways of living of every worker and every employer, because it influences their work. You know what the telephone means to you, in your business and in your home. Do you realize the telephone company needs money to give you this service? Wages and telephone material have all gone up. The Company must meet these increased costs. Its only income, like any other business, comes from the goods it sells. Telephone service costs money to produce and a fair price must be charged for it. Mr. Oscar Micheaux, president of the Micheaux Film Corporation, Chicago, arrived in the city last Friday for a conference with Mr. Geo. P. Johnson, manager Lincoln Motion Picture Corporation, Los Angeles, Cal., remaining throughout the day, leaving on the evening train for a board of directors meeting at Sioux City, Ia. It is rumored from authentic sources that these two successful race film producing corporations are planning some form of a gigantic merger, headed by eastern capitalists, in which the production and distribution end of their business will be consolidated under one management. The production and distribution of first class photo-plays catering to colored patronage has passed the experimental stage and arrived at a point that with executive management and sufficient capital, its future international success is assured. The Lincoln Motion Picture Co. (Inc.) has successfully catered to the national trade since 1916; being the only race firm in the country to produce steadily for a period longer than three years. The Micheaux Film Co., organized in 1918, has successfully produced and marketed one feature production, and has just completed its second now being released in Chicago and to be shown in Omaha in the near future. DEATH OF MRS. JOHN C. PARKER. Mrs. John C. Parker died at her residence late Monday night from apoplexy. She had not been feeling particularly well for two weeks, but her condition was not considered serious, consequently her death came as a great shock to a large circle of friends. Mrs. Parker, whose maiden name was Mary Wilson, was born and reared in Nebraska City. Coming to Omaha in her early girlhood, she was married to John C. Parker, the well-known mail carrier. She has been an active member of St. John's A. M. E. church for many years, being a member of the choir. She is survived by her husband, one sister, Mrs. James G. Jewell, and an aunt, Mrs. Roxie Hughes. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 from the residence, 3923 North Twenty-first street. Rev. W. C. Williams will officiate. Interment will be in Forest Lawn. Sayman's Soap, 2 bars for 25c, at Finkenstein, 26th and Blondo. Going H Just Think of require, a Then coming o whole bu You woul Today half the p of every work.

SIXTY YEARS' SENTENCE FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY Bandit Shot and Captured by Detective Harry Buford Pleads Guilty and Given Long Prison Term. William Wolfe, last week pleaded guilty before Judge Redick to four charges of highway robbery and was given a maximum sentence of sixty years in the penitentiary. The sentences, however, were from three to fifteen years on each count, and will run concurrently. Wolfe, with Joseph Techeck, robbed Adam Wenski of South Omaha of $15 and a watch on December 6. Techeck was shot by police officers and is now recovering in a local hospital. Wolfe also admitted having held up and robbed Charles and Frank Zukus of South Omaha of $73 and a watch on the same night, and George Kubik of $180 and a ruby ring on December 2. Both of these criminals are white. Wolfe is the bandit who was shot and captured by Detective Harry Buford in a running gun fight between three South Side police officers and the two bandits. DEATH OF FORMER OMAHA GIRL. News has reached Omaha of the death at Cynthiana, Ky., January 8, of Mrs. Jessie Merriam Newsm, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Merriam of this city. Mrs. Newsm was reared and educated in Omaha. She was the first colored girl to be given a clerkship in any city office, serving in this capacity under Albon Frank, clerk of the district court. Subsequently she went to Kentucky, where she taught school and was later married to Mr. Newsm. She is pleasantly remembered by a large circle of friends in this city.

"You couldn't keep that up for ever, though." said Stevy. "Well, I guess that's right," said Cousin; "perhaps I'd be safer not trying it." "I think you would," said Stevy.

PANDA "Yes," said Stevie Skunk, "night is a good time for us to go marketing and wandering and adventuring. It is a time when folks aren't around so much and when we're more safe and less annoyed by people. "She doesn't like the odor because she closes her "Watches Me."

"We wouldn't mind them, though, if they didn't mind us. We would be nice and gentle and good-natured and sweet—for we really are all of that." "Of course," said Cousin Skunk, "they object to the odor we have." "I'd like to make other people feel the same way about me, and that is the reason I show folks I'm gentle, but the reason why 'try to show the girl how I act and what I do is because I heard that she was studying the ways of animals, including skunks, and that she watched a little friend of hers (meaning me) every evening so as to understand them better. "I suppose," said Stevie, "that everyone has a different opinion about it, but for my part I like it. Now I wouldn't go shopping as some people would do and say, 'Yes, please Mr. Shop Keeper, I'd like a bottle of violet perfume, and have you any rose toilet waters? I think they'd be delicious.' "Why, I'd be mad, utterly mad, if I did such a thing. Anyway, they wouldn't want me in the shops and as I know it I don't go. "And she is going to write an article on the 'Ways of Skunks and Others' and I am helping her, I am!" "That is where so many people make a great mistake.

Charles, what upon earth are you doing here?" asked the mother of a small boy as she opened the door of the big refrigerator and saw the little fellow sitting inside. "Don't you often do the same thing yourself?" asked Cousin Skunk. "Well, you see, Ive to speak a piece at school this afternoon," replied Charles, "and papa said I'd do all right if I kept cool." "Yes, I do," said Stevie, "but I don't mean to at all. I mean to keep away from everyone I don't like—that is, from everyone who doesn't like me, for I would like them gladly enough if they would like me. But then the reason I don't keep away any more than I do is because—well, it is because of the reason." No One Need Lack Friends. No girl need lack friends if she is ready to be a friend. Kindness, sympathy, helpfulness, and an interest in others are the indications of a friendly nature. And one who forgets himself and lives for others will not lack friends. "What is your reason?" asked Cousin Skunk. "I imagine," said Stevy Skunk, "that I have an excellent reason." Love knows nothing about philosophy and cares less. "You'd better tell it to me to make sure," said Cousin Skunk. "Ah," said Stevy. "so you consider yourself a good judge of reasons." "I do," said Cousin Skunk. After all, the easiest way to do a thing is to do it right. THE MOTHER GOOSE FAIRY BOOK U. S. Feature Service, Inc. N. Y. C. Do you remember the jolly miller that lived on the River Dee? He sang, "Hol heel! I care for nobody, since nobody cares for me." This was as much as to say that he had no friends or family. It was lonely on this river. Seldom he saw people unless they came to buy flour of him. One day a bright-faced young woman came. This changed his life. ... In this way he reached the village. A gay autumn festival was going on. The miller joined the merry revelers scanning every happy face to find the bright rosy maid. Then he spied her dancing lightly as the autumn leaves themselves. The miller lost no time, but married the maid that very day. THE MONITOR UPHOLSTERING at Making, Furniture Re- improving Douglas 864. 1917 Cuming St. C. S. JOHNSON 18th and Izard Tel.

There is nothing that takes the place of good vegetables for hot weather dishes they rank with fruit in importance. A healthy diet must include vegetables, for they not only build up the bones and teeth but supply bulk. weather. If they rank with fruit in importance. A healthy diet must include vegetables, for they not only build up the bones and teeth but supply bulk, which is an essential to intestinal movement; their chief value is in their mineral salts, which are needed to make good blood and produce changes in the body cells which are necessary to keep the body young and supple. A rule which has no exceptions, is to cook vegetables in boiling water and most liquors should be saved for soups or to serve as a sauce with the vegetable; the liquor from beets is one to except. String beans served with a bitter sauce or in a rich cream sauce are delicious, but for variety cook them two to three hours with a quarter of a pound of salt pork or a few slices of bacon if preferred. Cook down with the saucepan uncovered until the moisture is nearly all absorbed and evaporated, then add a tablespoonful or two of vinegar, salt if needed and a dash of cayenne. Creamed Onions and Tops.—Take finger-sized onions, cut, leaving a three-inch stem, cook until tender and serve in white sauce on toast as asparagus is served. Young beets, tops and all, are very good served as a vegetable. Cook them until tender chop or cut up in coarse bits and serve with butter and vinegar. The secret of savoriness in vegetables is care in seasoning. Do not always serve the same dish with the same seasonings. When teaching a child to like a certain kind of vegetable make it as attractive as possible in appearance, and go farther to avoid disappointment; make it so tasty that no further urging is necessary. Salads of various kinds, using both vegetables and fruits, are most acceptable hot weather dishes. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB The House of Courtey. 24th and Parker Sts.

And all the first- born in the land of Egypt shall die; from the first-born of Pharaoh that ‘sitteth upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of beasts. And there shall be a great ery throughout all the land of Egypt. such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. But against any of the children of Israel, shall not a dog move his tongue against man or beast. That ye may know how that the Lord doth put a differ- ence between the Egyptians and Is- rael.

BILLIARD PARLOR OWNERS FORM ASSOCIATION ‘The Omaha Colored Men's Billiard Owners’ association met Tuesday night. ‘This association was organized be- cause of the feeling for a closer bus!- ness relationship between ourselves, and help teach the uncultured of our race to be good citizens, This or- ganization was instituted, having for its aim to elevate the moral status of ous business. We have in all our billiard rooms large cards printed in words, “House Rules.” These rules are as follows: | Rule I—Profanity, vulgarity, loud, boisterous arguments inside or in fron of these premises are prohibited. Rule 1—Positively no whistling. Rule I1f—Anyone caught gambling ‘on these tables will be prosecuted to ‘the fullest extent of the law. | Rule IV—No one under 18 years of age allowed to play. The largest fight is against the | whistting. | ‘The billiard parlors of today do not ‘expect to operate as the pool halls of \yesterday. |" We are for a cleaner moral status lof the billiard parlors. We want our place for a place of recreation and pleasure and not a ‘place for habitual loafers and crim- inals. The billiard parlors furnish the greatest game on the American con- tinent today for the poor man, and particularly the Negro whose only club is the Negro’s billiard parlor, It 1s the greatest recreation you have, You can't afford to abuse your only recreation. Among the chief things that are so nauseating to the masses are whistling, loud, boister- ous arguments, profanity and vul- warity. Friends, we want you to help us to operate our billiard parlors as bil- liard parlors and not as the old pool- hall or dives. We want you to be protected as well a8 ourselves. If you have any complaints, make them to us, so we may remedy the cause, It will help you and us. Our places are open for inspection at any time.
