Talbert, Natioanl President of Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Pleases Omaha Audiences—Tells of Work in France. DELEGATE TO PEACE CONFERENCE Went as a Y Worker and Rendered Splendid Service Among Soldiers at Argonne and Romanes, Among Whom There Was Much Discontent After Armistice—Goes to Sweden Next Year. MRS. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., national president of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, a powerful and influential organization numbering 100,000 members; member of the national executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and an active war worker in France, was an Omaha visitor last week. Mrs. Talbert, who is on an extensive western tour visiting the various clubs of the federation in these communities arrived in the city Friday from Sioux City, Ia., and was driven to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alphonso Wilson, 523 North Thirty-third street, whose guest she was during her stay here. Friday night she spoke to a capacity audience in St. John's A. M. E. church on experiences with "Our Boys in France." She had the unique distinction of holding two passports, one as a delegate representing the women, to the peace conference; the other as a "Y" worker. She devoted herself to the interests of the colored soldiers as a "Y" worker and did good work among them. It is not generally known that after the signing of the armistice there was considerable discontent among the colored soldiers because of certain Jim Crow regulations imposed upon them. Mrs. Talbert, who was stationed at Romanes, was instrumental in modifying some of these conditions. She told of the high esteem in which the French held our boys, whose conduct was above reproach. Sunday afternoon Mrs. Talbert made an inspiring address before the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which met at Zion Baptist church, with Mrs. Jessie Hale Moss, the president, in the chair. She complimented the association on the work it is doing and told of her part two years ago, while in Lincoln, in having the attorney general of the state compel the elimination of the most objectionable features of the "Birth of a Nation." She stressed the necessity of the race standing unitedly everywhere for fighting segregation and every denial of constitutional rights. She said rights lost or surrendered now could never be regained. She spoke of the influence that colored women are going to wield in politics and created much laughter by stating that colored women will not play the game as so many colored men have played it. As Mrs. Talbert is one of the nine American women chosen to go to Sweden next year in connection with the peace treaty, which will entail considerable expense, an offering was presented her at the close of Friday night's meeting and Sunday afternoon meeting, towards a fund for defraying her expenses abroad. Mrs. Talbert is a most pleasing and forcible speaker, with the most valuable asset any speaker can have, an attractive personality. She left at midnight Sunday for Denver. MEMPHIS MEN PLAN COFFIN FACTORY Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 28.—The undertakers and business men of the south are organizing a $200,000 corporation for the manufacture of caskets and coffins in Memphis, to be known as the Tri-State Casket and Coffin company, for the purpose of suplying caskets for the colored undertakers of the south. The enterprise will be one of the largest industrial propositions in the country financed exclusively with race capital The company is now negotiating for a site for the plant, which it hopes to have in operation by October 1, with about 150 men employed. THE MONITOR 'OCIALISM URGED ON COLORED PEOPLE Off" Meeting is Attended by 1,000 at John Wesley Church, and Speakers Arouse Much Enthusiasm and Receive Many Subscriptions for Radical Magazine. (Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—Socialism was proposed as the educational salvation of the colored race by Chandler Owens and A. Phillip Randolph, editors of the Messenger, a socialist journal published in New York, in addresses before a gatherinig of 1,000 people last week in John Wesley African Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Neval Thomas, a high school teacher, presided. The meeting was scheduled to be held several weeks ago in Dunbar high school and was called off because of the protest of Senator Reed Smoot, who was denounced last night as a "senatorial lackey of capitalistic interests." Mr. Randolph charged the larger educational institutions of the country with capitalistic control, instancing alleged control by traction interests of the Washington school system, the trustees of colored colleges and universities, he said, are the servants of the money interests who exploit the colored man for industrial purposes. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard university, was denounced as a tool of the capitalistic class. Chandler Owens denounced the classics of literature used in schools. He advocated the substitution of modern writers, among them Robert Ingersoll and several colored authors. The work on Soviet government by Rhys Williams would be permitted general circulation, he said, but for the "asiminity of those who control the school systems." The large audience which greeted the speakers was very enthusiastic interrupting each speaker many times. At the conclusion of the meeting a large number of subscribers were obtained, and a voluntary collection was taken up amounting to several hundred dollars. REPRESENTATIVE OF HIS DEPARTMENT Chosen By His Fellow Workman as Their Representative Young Man Is Highly Complimented by Company President. AKRON, O., Jan. 28.—F. A. Seiberling, president and general manager of the Goodwear Tire and Rubber Co., here, addressed his managers and men recently at their annual banquet. It will be remembered, perhaps, that since the exodus north hundreds of colored people have found positions in factories and they are working their way slowly upward. In the audience that day was a young colored man who had been promoted and selected by the employees as their representative from his department. Mr. Seiberling observed him and stopped to pay to the race with which he was identified the following compliment: "I see before me a young colored man, whom the men in the factory have selected as their representative. I want to congratulate the men down in the factory for their big, broad-minded action when they can break down racial ties, religious ties and social ties or prejudices, if you please, and select a man on his merit without regard to his color or creed. Young man, I hope you will prove worthy of the confidence placed in you and that you may be an example of your race, whom we must admit the white race has not treated fairly." HORRORS! WOMAN ATTENDS THEATER The Fair Miss Hill, Who Can Readily Pass for White. Takes Unfair Advantage of Theater Management. Danville, Va., Jan. 28.—Adjourning the case while he looked up some law under which to prosecute a colored person for attending shows at a white theater, Mayor Wooding was forced to allow Miss Lula Hill her freedom. Miss Hill was arrested coming out of the Majestic theater where she was recognized as colored by a police sergeant. She admitted she was colored and had frequently attended shows in all the theaters where ordinarily colored folk are not admitted. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 29, 1920 TAKE LAW INTO OWN HANDS AND PUNISH AN IMBECILIC OFFENDER TAKE LAW INTO OWN HANDS AND PUNISH AN IMBECILIC OFFENDER Colored Men Guilty of Mob Violence Which They Condemn in Others—An Explanatory Letter From a Pioneer Resident of Sheridan, Wyo. Sheridan, Wyo., Jan. 18, 1920. Dear Father Williams, Editor The Monitor: I am inclosing a clipping from one of our daily papers which I think calls for a little explanation. This article says the man was whipped by respectable colored people. I wish to say very few respectable citizens took part in it for the majority were only in favor of sending Gordan out of town. The president and secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. were the chief promoters of the whipping. I had understood the N. A. A. C. P. stood against mob violence from the white people. I cannot understand why it should be right for them to do what they protest against in others. I would like to know what you think about it. Shouldn't this bunch be reprimanded, at least? We are all glad Gordon was sent out of town for he would have caused serious trouble before long, but we did not approve of the beating. We have heard that his wounds were dressed by a surgeon on board the train. He is an old man, 66 years old; suppose he dies of his injuries? I think a grave wrong has been done and regret it very much. The pioneer colored citizens of Sheridan have blazed the trail and have stood for law and order. These colored men who whipped Gordon are late arrivals. If you publish any of this, withhold my name, but if there is any investigation of this my name may be used, and I will give all the information I can. I will be glad to hear from you concerning this matter. GIVEN LESSON THAT WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN Colored Man Arrested For Annoying Women is Chastised by Men of His Own Race. Respectable and law abiding colored residents of Sheridan last night took stern measures to keep their race from being brought into disrepute in the community through the actions of irresponsible or degenerate persons. A colored man by the name of Ben Gordon has lived in Sheridan for a number of years. Nobody ever knew any evil of him until within the past few months, when reports began to come to the police that he was annoying women. The women who had been so fortunate as to be bothered by him naturally avoided the notoriety of the police court, and it was hard to get a definite case against him. Last night, however, Chief McPherren watched the man, having familiarized himself with his haunts and habits. Shortly after dark the Negro accosted a woman who was walking along South Main street, and grossly insulted her. Chief McPherren immediately placed the man under arrest, and took him to the police station. The woman quite naturally did not want to appear against the man, and for want of evidence, the police were reluctantly compelled to release the prisoner, upon his assurance that he would leave town. A number of colored citizens of good name, however, had got wind of the affair. Needless to say, they abhorred the actions of the prisoner in itself, but there was even more than involved. The colored population of Sheridan generally has a good reputation for sobriety and honesty, and for being good citizens. Furthermore, their relations with the white population have always been of that ideal nature described by Booker T. Washington—"Seperate as the fingers in all things purely social, one as the hand in all things that af- fect the public welfare." But here was a happening that might get bruited about town in a way to reflect discredit upon the good faith of the colored people, and the harmonious relations that have so long existed between the two races might be smothered in one of those unreasoning waves of racial antagonism that have now and again swept over whole communities. Reasoning in this manner, a number of them resolved to give the obstreperous Senagambian a bit of discipline that they hoped would prove effective. The police were prevented by a technicality from consummating action against the offender—it was time for citizens to take a hand. Accordingly, when Gordon was released by the police, he had not gone far from the station when he was seized by a number of men of his own race, and taken to the covered bridge across Little Goose Creek just west of the Sheridan Iron Works. These men raised money sufficient to take Gordon out of town, even going so far as to pay him money that was due him from one source and another. Then then took off his clothes, and with a very well made quirt they proceeded to thrash him till he howled for mercy. He probably never before received such a working over, but it is pretty certain that he has another in store for him if he ever shows himself in Sheridan again. The colored men are resolved that nothing shall mar their record here, or disturb the kindly relations that have so long existed between the two races.—The Post, Jan. 15, 1920. WHAT THE MONITOR THINKS ABOUT IT OUR correspondent, who is one of the pioneer and substantial citizens of Sheridan, wants to know what we think about the action of the men who flogged Gordon. There is only one consistent position that The Monitor, which stands uncompromisingly for law and order, could or would take and that is unqualified condemnation of their lawless act. In taking the law in their own hands and punishing Gordon, however deserving he was of punishment, they were guilty of mob violence and should be punished as mobocrats. Their act in essence differs not by one jot or title from that of any other mob, which in its mad and blind passion stops not at flogging but proceeds to take life with almost unbelievable acts of brutality. Gordon's floggers were lynchers, for lynching does not mean only taking of life without due process of law, but it means the infliction of any summary punishment by a self-appointed commission without trial by law. Gordon, apparently an imbecile old man—our correspondent gives his age at 66, and the Post says, "Nobody ever knew any evil of him until the past few months when reports began to come to the police that he was annoying women"—had been arrested and tried for his offense. One newspaper account says that he was given a ninety days' sentence, which was suspended on condition that he leave town. The Post states that "the police were prevented by a technicality from consummating action against the offender," but that he was ordered to leave town and promised to do so. If he were guilty, the judge had no business to suspend sentence and pass him on to some other community where he would repeat his senile antics. He should have been sent to jail and kept there or, if mildly insane, as we suspect he is, he should be confined in an insane asylum. The law is fully competent to justly and fully punish all offenders for any crime or offense of which they have been proven guilty. Only short sighted people will condone the action of the men who mobbed and flogged "Gee whiz, Dad, look at those 'ads.'" "That's just what they are for, son." Vol. V. No. 30 (Whole No. 239) PURCHASE NEW FACTORY BUILDING Enterprising Firm Outgrows Quarters and Finds New Location—Manufacturers of Women's Clothing and Famous Brown Skin Dolls. EMPLOYS THIRTY RACE GIRLS NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The Berry & Ross Manufacturing company, Incorporated, manufacturers of women's and children's dresses and the well known Berry's Famous Brown Skin Dolls, 36-38 West 135th street, have bought the two properties, 48 and 50 West 135th street, for manufacturing purposes, and when alterations are made will be occupied and used for manufacturing purposes. This live wire Negro company has made such rapid progress within the last few months that they have outgrown their present location and were forced to seek larger quarters owing to the tremendous increase in their business. The Berry & Ross Clothing Factory alone employs over 30 girls, with a weekly output of over 2,000 women's and children's dresses. Mr. H. S. Boulin is president; Mr. Reid, general manager; Dr. T. Rawins, vice president; Miss E. Berry, treasurer, and Mr. William Wood, director. There are a large number of enthusiastic stockholders. The company is incorporated for $100,000 at $10 per share and one of their chief objects is to build and operate factories and make Harlem the largest Negro manufacturing center in the world. EGYPT'S BLACK POPE DEFIES LORD MILNER Insists That Britain Get Out of Egypt Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 28.—A conversation between Viscount Milner, special British commissioner, with the Grand Mufti of Egypt, religious chief of the Mohammedans in Egypt, is reported in the newspaper El Misr Egypt. Lord Milner contended that a protectorate was necessary to Egypt's interests and that a discussion could settle nine of ten disputed points. The Mufti replied that no Egyptian would enter into a discussion except on the basis of independence. Lord Milner sought to convince him that Great Britain was actuated by friendship and did not wish to impose her will forcibly, although able to do so. To this the Grand Mufti replied: "As religious chief I can only say and affirm that it is impossible to convince a nation of the utility of a thing of which I myself am unconvinced. The entire nation claims its independence and it would therefore be useless to speak in any other language. I do not forget your power, but if Egyptians bend today before force they will seize the first occasion to revolt. The guarantee of force is not eternal. Between Syria, occupied by France, and Tripoli, occupied by Italy, it is better for you that Egypt be independent and friendly." Lord Milner contended that the Mufti's arguments did not prevent a discussion, but the Mufti replied, "We can have no discussion until the protectorate is withdrawn." FIFTY WOMEN FORM DEMOCRATIC AUXILIARY Given Franchise, Show Disposition to Do Political Thinking for Themselves. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 28.—Colored women to the number of 50 have organized an auxiliary to the Associated Colored Democratic Ward club and have elected Mrs. Lucille Wilborn as president, Mrs. Genevieve Mills vice president, Mrs. Parsetta Callaway secretary, Mrs. Irene Whetstone recording secretary, Mrs. Annie Branch treasurer and Mrs. Essie Lawry chairman of the executive committee. COLLEGE WOMEN HOLD MEETING Chicago, Jan. 28.—Delegates from eight colored and white universities met in Chicago in the annual convention of the Alpha Kappa sorority, the oldest organization of its kind among colored college women. 16,000 Withdraw Policies From Insurance Company Resent Activity of Agents of Company as Mob Leaders in Lynching of Two Males Held by Authorities on Murder Charge. MAYOR VAINLY SEEKS TO STOP STAMPEDE People Organize Insurance Company of Their Own—Ten Leading Citizens Promptly Put Up Money to Finance Project. WASHINGTON, D. C.—How 16,000 colored people withdrew from a white insurance company at one time in revenge for the lynching of two colored men, was told by Bishop John Hurst before the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting here recently. Bishop Hurst had just returned from visits to the A. M. E. conferences in Florida. In Jacksonville recently, two colored men killed were said to have stabbed a white man to death after an all day's gambling, in which the latter won most of the money. The two men, said the bishop, were put in jail and that night when a crowd of lynchers gathered, a crowd of colored people also gathered to prevent violence. Seeing that the colored population meant to uphold the law with their lives, if necessary, the mayor and police treated with them and promised protection to the two men provided the colored crowd would go home. The crowd went home, and no lynching took place. A week later, on a rainy night, friends of the murdered white man, who were found out to be agents of an insurance company in which the dead man worked, broke into jail and lynched the two suspected colored men, afterwards dragging their victims through the town. Incensed beyond all measure 16,000 colored folk, who were members of the white insurance company withdrew from the company and put to flight insurance agents when they called to collect money. Loss of so many thousands of dollars aroused prominent white men who had the mayor call colored leaders to a conference in which he spoke of the necessity of colored people dealing with their white friends. Not to be moved by false arguments, ten of the leading men of the city met; put up $1,000 each, organized and incorporated what is now known as the People's Industrial Insurance Company. The company is now taking up the business lost by the white company. Bishop Hurst added that Negroes of the south are meeting race prejudice with more seriousness and more real courage than their brothers in the north, and that the southern Negro is getting ahead with startling rapidity. DISABLED STEAMSHIP BACK IN PORT; BIG LIQUOR CARGO S New York, Jan. 28.—The disabled steamship Yarmouth of the Black Star line was safe in this port early Tuesday. The Yarmouth was towed to Ambrose Channel Lighthouse Monday night by the coast guard cutter Seneca and proceeded to this port under her own steam. Revenue officials here said the $2,000,000 cargo of liquor was not liable to seizure. The vessel steamed from here January 7 for Havana, Cuba. Col. Daniel G. Porter, supervising internal revenue agent here, said that in view of the fact that the Yarmouth cleared before the prohibition law became effective, her cargo could be transferred, if necessary, to another vessel and forwarded to Cuba under the Yarmouth's clearance. LEGISLATURE MAKES APPROPRIATION FOR MEMORIAL BUILDING Dallas, Tex., Jan. 28.-The legislature of South Carolina, at the 1919 session made an appropriation of $100,000 for a memorial building to be erected on the campus of the state college at Orangeburg in honor of the colored soldiers, sailors, nurses and other workers of the state who rendered service in winning the great world's war.

He burns all the saucepans if he at- tempts to cook, brings every Toom to @ state of chaos if he tries to tidy up, allows the crusts to accumulate in the bread pan, and the tea leaves and vegetable parings to disfigure the kitchen sink, struggles with bed making and darning, can’t light a fire or Jay a table—in fact, as a house- keeper he is a notable failure, At least he was.

By sending his breath through the tube and working his lips, teeth, tongue, palate and pharyngeal muscles the man can whisper in such a way as to be understood.

He found that if the temperature was maintained at 140 degrees Fahrenhelt the bread was quite fresh at the end of the period, but if the temperature was reduced to 122 degrees Fahrenhelt ‘& certain amount of staleness was dis- cernible, the process becoming more rapid until a temperature of about three degrees below freezing point was reached.

THE WORLD AT PRAYER. have been reliably informed that this WE do not know how many of our readers have seen or were among those who offered up the prayer set forth by a committee of the Interchurch World Movement and which was said or supposed to have been said, by millions throughout the world at the ushering in of the New Year. It was printed in every known tongue. Doubtless, millions repeated it with fervor. With one voice, though in many tongues, it calls for the "elevation of justice and brotherhood," and appeals for the hastening of that Kingdom in which mercy and love rule in the hearts of men. It is rather significant and stresses the unity of the human family that Christian people of the white race, the black race, the yellow race and the red race heard and joined in the prayer that went round the world for guidance to replenish a devastated earth and stay the unrest of perplexed people. No one can estimate the power of prayer. The individual, race or nation that genuinely believes in it and sincerely offers it is sure to triumph over all its foes, spiritual and temporal, and what counts more than all, to conquer its own sins of hate and greed and selfishness. These are the sins which keep men and nations at variance. Let prayers like this one continue to be offered throughout the world and strife and hatred and discord will speedily cease. The world was called to prayer and here is the prayer that millions were requested to offer as the old year closed and the New Year dawned: "Almighty God, Father of all mankind, at the end of a year in which malice has so often thwarted love, we join the prayers of all Thy children around the world for peace, the elevation of justice and of brotherhood. "Thou Creator, Possessor of all things. Who didst make the earth for the races of men and didst set bounds for their habitation, forgive us our greed as we repent of our sin, and restore to all hearts the recognition of the transcendent right of human life to live. "Open our eyes, we beseech Thee, to the dignity of labor, the sacredness of human service, and the privileges of production, that nation may join nation and man may join man justly in honest work to replenish a devastated earth. "Quicken the sympathy of hearts made dull by reports and sights of suffering, incomprehensible and needless." "Call us again that we may bow before the eternal laws of creation, putting aside malice, envy, covetousness and brutality, to enter into the peace of the sons of the Most High. Hasten by Thy gracious Providence and by the consecrated efforts of Thy children the coming of Thy world wide Kingdom where justice, mercy and love shall rule the hearts and hands of men. "Create in us, O Lord, clean hearts, and renew right spirits for the coming year. "This we ask in the spirit of Jesus Christ, our holy Hope. Amen!" MONITOR MISTAKEN. THE Monitor will always be found manly enough to acknowledge its mistakes and make due apology for the same. We try to be absolutely sure of our facts before making a statement or taking a stand. We have the reputation of being reliable and dependable and we are jealous of maintaining this reputation. We find that we are mistaken in the purpose of the advertisement for waiters and bus boys which we withdrew from our advertising columns last week, because, as we said, we had reason to believe that its purpose was to find men to take the place of waiters who refuse to have their wages cut. We 4 have been reliably informed that this is not true, and that these men are wanted for other projects. We therefore reinsert the advertisement. The insertion of advertisements comes under the business management of the paper. This department uses the same care in trying to secure dependable advertisements as the editor does in maintaining the literary standard of the publication and it frequently occurs that the editor does not know what advertisements are in until the paper is published. We have absolute confidence in the business management and, as yet, have never had any reason for calling their good judgment into question. This advertisement was received in the regular way. Later, the editor, knowing that there was a proposal to cut the wages of certain waiters and having been informed that the advertisement was inserted by an employee of that house, concluded that here was an underhanded effort to supply the places of these men. Having, however, since learned that the gentleman who inserted the advertisement is not now an employee of that house and having been assured that these employees are not to be displaced. The Monitor acknowledges its mistake and will continue to list the names. APPRECIATE COMPLIMENT: THE Monitor feels complimented that so many of our exchanges consider us a model in news matter and editorial comment. Several borrow our news items, headlines and all. News, of course, is common property. It is in the matter of headlines where originality is shown. Where, therefore, our contemporaries borrow our news items, headlines and all. it might not be amiss or lacking in courtesy to occasionally give The Monitor credit. This is not absolutely necessary in the matter of news, but when it comes to editorials credit should be given. Not infrequently are editorials from The Monitor published in full in the editorial columns of our exchanges as their own editorials. This is dishonest and unethical. Our editorial on the New Year is one of the most recent cases. We are glad to have our editorials quoted, but please, brethren of the quill, give us credit. SELF-RESPECT UNFORTUNATELY through a long process of wrong education many members of our race have, perhaps unconsciously, imbibed the spirit of self-depreciation which is most regrettable and must be overcome. What we mean is this: Because of the enslavement of our forefathers there has arisen, very naturally, the disposition to believe that the race which furnished the master class is an inherently superior race. Consequently, there is a tacit concession to his right to rule and to be deferred to in any and all matters of moment. This process of thought has engendered and bred upon the part of one insolence and arrogance and upon the part of the other fawning and servility. Too many of our people, even those who lay claim to more than the average degree of intelligence, assume this latter attitude. They speak in laudatory terms of the dominant race and in deprecatory terms of their own. They reflect in their tone and attitude those of the dominant race toward our own race. This is a serious mistake. It is a fatal mistake. No individual who is constantly under-rating and belittling himself can win, nor does he merit, the respect of others. This is equally true of races and nations. Would we gain the respect of others we must not be wanting in self-respect. We must not accept for one minute the popular American doctrine that a dark skin is the infallible and unquestioned credential of inferiority of race THE MONITOR Almighty God, and we speak with reverence, knew His business when He made of one blood all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the whole earth and fixed the bounds of their habitation. He created no inferior and no superior races. He created man in His image and likeness. He has given to each race its peculiar gifts and characteristics which are to be used for the welfare of all. As these gifts are used and developed, not selfishly, but for the good of all, men and races rise to prominence or sink into decay. He who is in the master class today may be in the slave class tomorrow. The race that does what the Creator intended it to do for the advancement of mankind is the superior race. The one that fails to do this or hinders His progress in righteousness is the inferior race. Judged by his service to humanity not by the manifestation of brute force, but by the exercise of kind-heartedness and the nobler virtues the African race can successfully hold its claim to equality, if not superiority to any other race on earth. What we would have our own people more fully appreciate than they do is the nobility and grandeur of the race to which we belong. And we would have them live up to their highest traditions. Instil this into your children. Never let them believe that they belong to an inferior race. Never let them think for one moment that they cannot rise to the same heights in any field of achievement that any other similarly endowed human being can. Point out to them and hold up to them as examples and an inspiration the men and women of the race who have achieved success in any given legitimate line. Encourage them to aspire. Do not teach them racial insolence or arrogance, but teach them racial self-respect. Sing to them no n遏ody, but a paen of life and victory. When the politicians of a nation become convinced that a proposition is popular, that there are many votes in it, they usually fall over themselves in adopting and advocating that proposition, even if it amounts to a radical curtailment of personal and political rights and liberties. The activity of alien socialists, Russian reds and the like has been seized upon by both the dominant parties as an excuse for favoring such legislative enactments as will amount practically, to the enslavement of the people to the party in power, whichever party that may be. The action of the New York legislature in refusing to seat the five socialist members because of their political beliefs is a case in point, and one that has drawn out a strong legal protest from Judge Chas. E. Hughes the last republican candidate for president, and from other strong men in the nation, as being illegal and subversive of the political freedom of thought which has always been freely tolerated in this country, and denial of which is bound to lead to confusion and, perhaps, violence. If the sedition law pases congress as it has been adopted by the house of representatives, any of the states of the south can have arrested and ultimately hanged any Negro editor who should protest against any injustice, such as is now commonly practiced against the Afro-American citizens, including denunciation of mob law and of the state government that allows mob law to prevail within its Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR Ford service for owners of Ford cars, is one of the important elements of the great Ford organization.

We should have to accept without criticism or protest the vile condition of affairs that prevails now in the southern states or be tried for sedition and hanged for criticising and protesting against the condition. There is plenty of trouble ahead for the Negro people. The republicans and the democrats in congress are working together to hitch upon us the awful condition of affairs that has been allowed to grow up in the southern states, and to try and hang us when we criticize and protest against it.—The Amsterdam (N. Y.) News. THE ANTI-SEDITION BILL. Organized labor is opposing the anti-sedition bill now before congress on the ground that it would violate the constitution and rob the whole American people of their most cherished and basic guarantees of free government. "If the American people, and in fact a majority of the members of congress," says Mr. Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, "were awake to the dangers concealed in this bill, a storm of indignation would sweep the nation. It has been widely advertised that this measure protects free speech fully, but prevents advocacy of forcible revolution, bolshevism, and anarchy. In fact, it would perpetuate an autocratic censorship over the entire American press. It can be used to kill free speech and free assembly. "Section 6 perpetuates the censorship of the postmaster general over all newspapers and printed matter. The so-called Borah amendment, providing a court review of the postmaster general's action, is sound in principle, but is inadequate to afford protection as a practical matter to a publisher against the autocratic action of the postmaster general. "More amazing still, the proviso sets up a censorship over any man's private correspondence by the postmaster general. It would be criminal, for example, for a man to send a letter advocating resistance to an injunction issued by a federal judge ordering workers on strike to go back to work. "Moreover, this section can be used to prevent the organization of colored labor on the grounds of inciting 'racial prejudice, the intended or probable result of which appeal is to cause rioting, etc.' No doubt advocacy of, or opposition to, the cause of Irish freedom would in some sections be prohibited." We have seen enough of the workings of the espionage act—during the war and after—to be suspicious of these so-called anti-sedition bills. The espionage act was in many instances used—not as an instrument for the protection of the nation—but as a weapon for autocracy and petty tyranny. Too often private malice found it a convenient cloak to hide sinister purposes. Just now, a widespread effort is being made to bring all labor organizations into disrepute by classing them all as bolshlevist. During the steel strike and the coal strike this was especially noticeable. We have little doubt that the anti-sedition bills now before congress have been designed to hamper labor organizations, even at the cost of taking away the liberties of the rest of us. We should not allow ourselves to be carried away by the present "scare" that has been worked up for a purpose. Let us preserve our liberty even though a few "Reds" sometimes abuse it. Our present laws are sufficient to deal with them.—The True Voice (Omaha). H. LAZARUS SHOE REPAIRING 24201/2 Cuming Street Petersen & Michelsen Hardware Co. GOOD HARDWARE 2408 N St. Tel.

Suddenly feeling faint he shut off the engines, then he lost consciousness and knew nothing else until he awoke to find himself in bed. Mr. Lewis' friends are glad to know he is back again on the job of giving his first class limousine service. Mrs. Lewis, whom he married 11 years ago when both were quite young, contributes to the success of her husband's business by her sunny disposition. She is always obliging over the phone.

Murray of South Carolina, spoke at Grove Methodist Episcopal church last Friday night to a small, but appreciative audience, on "The Power of Impression." The speaker drove home some telling truths concerning race ideals which should be given wide publicity. The speaker advocated in no mistaken terms the necessity for greater appreciation of racial capacity and ability. He voiced his dislike of the term "Negro" upon the ground that it is a term of reproach and contempt and is so used by the average American newspaper. He said we must throw off all relics, mental and physical, of slavery and stand on our feet as men. We as American citizens must insist upon our constitutional rights. He was introduced by H. J. Pinkett. Mr. Murray spoke along similar lines Sunday night at St. John's A. M. E. church. While in the city he was the guest of his old friend, the Rev. S. L. Deas pastor of Grove M. E. church.

Bell, skillful dressmakers; and the groom, "Mr K. C. Call," was impersonated by Mr. John W. Bell. The "officiating magistrate was Henry W. Black. The humorous questions propounded by the "magistrate" and answered in kind by the principals caused convulsions of laughter from the audience. A pleasant social evening was spent by all present. COMMUNITY DANCE EVERY SATURDAY EVENING In an effort to cater more fully to neighborhood need, Community Service will conduct a community dance every Saturday evening at the center, 2420 Lake street. Arrangements have been made to use the large dance hall downstairs, and Professor Perkins' orchestra has been secured to furnish special music. Dancing has proven perhaps the most popular form of recreation. From the viewpoint of many, dancing is debatable to say the least. But since men and women will dance Community Service takes the position that dancing had better be done under the best safeguards and proper surroundings. A goodly number enjoyed themselves last Saturday evening. A general invitation is issued to the public. Admission 25 cents. Dancing from 8 to 11:30 p. m.

"Why, how do you do," said Master Ribbon Seal. "I've not seen any friends or relatives for a long time. I'm not so friendly with my friends and relatives, though I like you, and you're a relative." "I feel the same way about it," said Mr. Ribbon Seal. "I do not object to relatives and friends, but I am always perfectly happy alone; that's the reason why I don't see them more." "That is the same reason I have," said Master Ribbon Seal. "I believe it is the same reason which all the Ribbon Seals have. "You see," he continued, "they say that we're not a friendly lot, so we're not in the least unusual." "I guess that's right," said Mr. Ribbon Seal. "We're usually by ourselves, and only once in a while do any of us go together—that's usually when we happen to meet and have a little talk." "Oh, well," said Master Ribbon Seal; "it is a good thing that we are fond of ourselves, or rather that we don't care more for company. "We are alone most of the time, and anyway, one has to be more with oneself than anyone else. It is well and wise and sensible and excellent to be fond of oneself." "You must not make us out to be conceited," said Mr. Ribbon Seal. "Oh, I don't mean to do that," said Master Ribbon Seal. "We're not conceited. We don't think we're the finest things or animals or creatures in the world; we think we're a happy, contented lot, because we're satisfied with the ways we've always had." "They say that we are greatly admired," said Mr. Ribbon Seal. "Don't you suppose that there won't be so many of us after a time? Won't they go after us, as they have after our cousins, the harbor seals, and as they still go after them?" "It is a little different with us than it is with them," said Master Ribbon Seal. "My grandfather told me about it. I met him one day when I was out." "Tell me what he said," urged Mr. Ribbon Seal. "He said," commenced Master Ribbon Seal. "My grandson, hearken to me." "I will hearken to thee, grandfather,' said I. "‘Very well, my grandson,’ he said, 'for I have something I would like to tell you, and whenever you happen to A The reason that each shearing time Black Sheep gives the second bag of his woolly coat to his Dame is this. When Blacky was a tiny baby hamb none of his kinfolk cared for him because he was not white, as they were. Danie, finding him lying curled up in a corner very sad and neglected, wrapped Blacky in her apron and put him in her own house, near the fire. A Next Dame visited the birds and told Blacky's story. They gave as much down as they could spare and made a nice soft pillow. "Now we ought to have woollen blankets," thought Dame. Only sheep have wool, so she went to their leader. He turned this back upon her and (as sheep all follow the leader, no matter how cruel or stupid he may be) the whole flock did likewise. 6 THE RIBBON SEALS. 1930 "Not So Friendly." meet any of the relatives or friends, you can tell them the same story. It's a true one, too. "We are very handsome because of the broad bands which are part of our markings—that is, they're part of the markings of all the Mr. and Master and little boy Ribbon Seals. "We are about the size of the harbor seals, and we're relatives, as you know; but there is a reason why we'll be safer from harm than they. "In the first place there aren't so many of us,' continued my grandfather, 'and though we are beautiful and unusual, folks can't get so many of us if there aren't so many of us to get. Can they?' "I shook my head. "But there is another reason why we aren't caught so often,' said my grandfather. 'We live far away from other creatures. We're not sociable. We live in waters where people rarely travel. They know so little about us. And they can't capture us for they don't know where to look for us. "It's like playing hide-and-go-seek," continued my grandfather, 'except they cannot find our hiding places! We're off, far away, in waters they don't know and can't discover." "That's the truth," ended Master Ribbon Seal. "It's the truth," repeated Mr. Ribbon Seal. Poison Gas to Fight Squirrels. Experiments in the use of poison gas in exterminating grain-eating ground squirrels are under way, according to a report of the county horticultural commission to the Los Angeles board of supervisors. At the same time it was announced that Los Angeles county has sold its surplus stock of saccharine and strychnine to Orange county in order that the neighboring county can join in the campaign being waged against the destructive ground squirrels. According to Horticultural Commissioner Ryan, the use of poison gas is necessary at this time because the squirrels, which have been practically eliminated from the worst affected regions in the county by the use of poisons during the past few months, fall to eat the poison at this time, preferring the new vegetable growth.

Life, or rather life in a continually expanding form, is after all a business, and they who are the most in earnest get from it the most and in turn give the most back to the world again. Experiments show that cooked rhubarb added to such fruits as strawberries and raspberries makes a preserve of fine quality. Rhubarb being common and cheap while the berries are not always so, it is a sugges- berries and raspberries makes a preserve of fine quality. Rhubarb being common and cheap, while the berries are not always so, it is a suggestion worth noting. This mixture may take place after the fruits are cooked, but of course the results will be better if both are cooked together when fresh. Use one part of the berries to two parts of rhubarb. The rhubarb is not at all noticeable, as the flavor of the other fruit is so much higher. Save all juices from canned fruit, if but a tablespoonful in the jar; mixed with two or three of some other flavor, one will have enough to flavor a pudding sauce, lemonade or baked apples. Put the last few spoonfuls of horse-radish left in the glass into the pickle jar to keep the vinegar in good flavor. Sprinkle dried bread crumbs over string beans cooked for the table, then add paprika and celery salt for seasoning. When half an onion has been used, turn the cut side down on a small plate, and it will keep fresh for days. A bunch of parsley, if washed and put into a mason jar, sealed al-tight, will keep fresh and crisp for two weeks. Leave enough water clinging to the leaves to keep them moist. Apple juice and pulp combines well with many fruits and berries, extending the delicate flavor of choice fruit and reducing the cost which might otherwise be prohibitive. A slice of pineapple will flavor a large dish of milder fruit; so will quinces and oranges combine with apples for marmalade. Apple juice with peach or cherry, strawberry or other fruits which are hard to thicken, makes very good jelly which would otherwise be sirup. Cranberry juice is another good fruit extender; added to fresh strawberries it makes a beautiful and tasty preserve. Strawberries, when canned, often lose their color, but with cranberries this is overcome.

After the prisoner had been strung up his body was riddled with bullets. LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR HOME FOR GIRLS Charleston, W.

WHAT THE MONITOR THINKS ABOUT IT (Continued From Page One.) Gordon, Suffering as we do, as a race, at the hands of mobs we cannot afford, however extreme the provoca- tion, to become mobbists ourselves. ‘We must stand ready, like all good citizens, to give testimony against any law-breaker, black or white, that he may be lawfully punished. We should all be vitally concerned in seeing that offenders of our race, because of our vicarious suffering, are brought to Justice; but we must insist upon law- ful procedure. We must stand un- compromisingly for law and order. We cannot protest against mob vio- Ience and be guilty of it ourselves. ‘The action of the Sheridan mobo- crats who flogged Gordon is inde- fensible and most regrettable. If offi- cers of the N. A. A. C. P, took part in it, they should be, and doubtless will be removed from office, as they have violated the very fundamental principles for which the association stands and that is the suppression of mob violence and the impartial en- forcement of law. Herein the safety of the rights of all citizens Me and upon this impregnable rock the per- petuity of the republic and civiliza- tion rests. Whatever any other group of our American citizens may feel justified in doing colored Americans must al- ways be found, as we have frequently sald before, on the side of law and order, no matter how great the provo- cation or how strong the temptation may be, to do otherwise.
