GENERAL Leonard Wood, whom The Monitor confidently believes will be the next president of the United States, spent a strenuous Sunday in Omaha. Arriving at 9 a.m., accompanied by Mrs. Wood, his son, Lieutenant O. C. Wood; Colonel C. B. Baker of his staff, E. B. Clarke, publicity manager; Andrew Moss, messenger, who, by the way, has been in the war department for fifteen years, and is a cousin of M. F. Singleton of our city; and two stenographers, the party drove immediately to the Fontenelle hotel. General Wood and party attended All Saints' Episcopal church at 11 o'clock, where at the close of the service he delivered a five-minute address stating that in these times it behooves Americans to follow the example of Washington, to be obedient to the laws of the country and to promote by practice and precept wholesome family life. In the afternoon General Wood delivered a splendid address at Central High school in connection with the pageant and ceremonies of the presentation of certificates from the French government to the nearest of kin to those who had paid the supreme sacrifice overseas. Speaking on this occasion, General Wood reminded those present that: "It is singularly fitting that Washington's birthday should be the day selected to receive the hands of the French this testimonial," he said, "for she came to our aid during the darkest days of the revolution. Even in her hour of trial she is stretching out her hand to us in gratitude. "We must not let anything come between us and the allies. Let us remember those many dead—so many that if they were marshalled in columns of squads they would reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific—who have died in the great cause for which we have fought with the allies and let them be a bond between us." "Some time again," he continued, "it will be necessary for each nation to make the supreme sacrifice and to break peace to fight for the right. We must be prepared. We hate militarism, but we hate almost as much the helplessness that comes of being unprepared." Must Preserve Spirit. General Wood closed his speech by saying, "The dead have given the highest testimonial that can be given—their lives. The soldiers we sent typified the principles of Christ in their spirit of self sacrifice. Let us keep alive that spirit." At the close of the exercises at the high school, which preceded by a dinner at the residence of Mr. John W. Towle, president of the Wood league, General Wood attended a reception, which kept him busy until nearly 6:30, and in the evening at 8 he delivered an address on "Character" at the First Presbyterian church. Crowded with engagements as the day was it was exceedingly gratifying to Rev. John Albert Williams, editor of The Monitor, which was the first weekly to suggest General Wood's name as a candidate for the presidency, to be invited to meet him, and to renew the acquaintance made when the general was here in connection with the September riot. The hour fixed was 6:30. The Monitor editor and Mr. Singleton were on time. We were warmly and cordially received by Colonel Baker, who recalled our meeting in September. He is a splendid type of man, enthusiastic over General Wood's presidential prospects. General Wood soon arrived and greeted us most heartily. He was pleased to learn that his uncompromising stand for law and order and his reputation for believing in a square deal for all men and had alligned the colored citizenry of this state practically solidly behind him. Reference was made to his recent speech before the Lincoln Republican League in Chicago, a report of which was published in last week's issue of --- THE MONITOR The Monitor. He said the reception given him there was most gratifying, and that when he stated what he sincerely believes, that the colored citizens stand for law and order and simply demand protection as American citizens and their constitutional rights, for which he unequivocally stands, the applause was marked and continuous. He was told that the American people want a president who will be the president of all the people, and that because we believe him to be that kind of a man, he could rest content that the colored citizens of this state would vote for him at the April primaries. In his address at the First Presbyterian church, General Wood said in part: "America has a great mission in the world, a mission which she is out going to perform unless we keep up an intense spirit of Americanism," said General Wood in an address made last night at the First Presbyterian church. "When I say intense American spirit, I had better say intense American conscience." "I hope we shall be able to get rid of the league of nations with the reservations which will thoroughly Americanize it, and which will permit us to call together the people of this country and discuss whether or not we want to go into war. As soon as we have settled this, we will be able to turn our attention to the return of the railroads to where they belong, and to take up and settle the other great problems before us. Must Watch Immigrants. "We should keep one door open for the expulsion of the unfit, the reds, the agitators. It is not good to close our doors to the reds and permit other undesirables to enter. We should scrutinize carefully all immigrants, but once within the country it is our duty to educate them, Americanize them, give them something of the American character. We must be a little bit more careful in seeing who comes here and what they get here. The influx of unquestioned immigrants is a very grave question. "We build character more than anywhere else in the universities and public schools of the country. We are paying altogether too little attention to our teaching force, the greatest character-forming machine in the country. School teachers are receiving $4.50 a day and plumbers $10 a day. We should give this subject immediate, thorough and careful attention, and pay serious attention to our teaching force in order that our children may have the right kind of character. "One other element in building up national character, national solidarity, is the relations of labor and capital. There must not be the subjugating of any class. Capital must not be permitted to dominate labor nor labor to dominate capital. The human element must enter more into the relations between them. "All of these things are causing unrest all over the country. We must stand rigidly for the things that Washington and Lincoln stood for. We must keep our feet on the ground, our eyes on God and our ideal high, and stand solidly for law and order. We people of the class here tonight have got to interest ourselves in the problems of the other half of the world." HAS HYDROPHOBIA; VICTIM IS SHOT BY POLICEMEN Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 25.—Jesse Tolliver, a negro, who was bitten two years ago by a pet dog, developed hydrophobia Saturday and was shot and killed by officers who were called to subdue him after he had attacked nurses at a hospital where he was being treated. CHOSEN AS DELEGATE. Shreveport, Ala., Feb. 25.—Charles M. Roberson, lawyer of Shreveport, has been chosen uninstructed delegate to the national republican convention to be held in Chicago June 8. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FEBRUARY 26, 1920 THE COLOR PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF AN OBSERVANT FRENCHMAN A Thoughtful and Suggestive Article Recently Published in Prominent French Journal Denies Racial Inferiority of Blacks and Expresses Belief That American Good Sense and Loyal Heartedness Will Give Opportunity to Both Races to Live Amicably Together. THE International interest that is being taken in what is known as "America's Race Problems," in indicated by the number of articles being published in foreign newspapers and magazines. It is always interesting to learn what others are thinking of us. The following article which has been translated from the French especially for The Monitor will invite more than passing attention: "THE FATE OF THE BLACKS" (By Monsieur Alfred W. Gaspart in The Freeman.) Translated from the French Journal "Home for The Monitor by Raymond Jean Knox and Rudolph L. Desdunes. one should give the word its full psychological value. Livingstone, himself, did he not declare that wherever he saw the Negro in the state of nature, he knew him to be good, candid, easy, generous, enthusiastic and sensible to gratitude? As to that which regards the intelli- The American government finds itself face to face with a grave problem. What measures will it take to allay the conflicts which occur daily between the inhabitants of the white race and the black race in the various states? The latest cablegrams inform us that, at Washington, the Negroes, responding to the attacks of armed bands of workingmen of the shops, have ransacked the stores and spread terror throughout the city. One should not deceive himself as to the fact that the blacks represent considerable strength. By the favor of circumstances, they have grown to be an element of very great importance in the American community. The labor crises of late years have induced the heads of establishments to trust the blacks with occupations which hitherto had been reserved to the whites. After all, of what importance to the corporations is the color of the workman or the laborer if he can do the same work as the white man for the same amount of pay? Up to the present day, the error has been to consider, in the United States as well as abroad, even in France, that the Negroes are naturally of an inferior race. Each day, however, brings new evidences which tend to demonstrate the opposite of this theory. One must not forget that long before the modern era the black race has given to the world proof of its own greatness among the other races. It would take rank ignorance or innate prejudice on the part of the best portion of the anthropologists to allow proofs so evident to have been ignored. Let the subject be the powerful states of the Pharoachic age of ancient Egypt or let the subject be the grand black empires of the Soudan, it is an incontestable fact that some Negro civilizations have existed and lately have been buried under the sands of the desert. I visited some few weeks ago, the Negroes' Art exposition, organized by M. Paul Gulliaume. The most part of the statuettes in clay or in wood, placed in glass cases, presented a remarkable artistic value, evidenced a certain culture and an incontestable degree of civilization and which the major portion of the visitors hardly expected to find among Negroes. The activity and the traditions of which maintained themselves through centuries only to die almost within our days. Joined to a number of others; it is there a proof of the unity of Negro civilization and the very high level to which it is required to climb. From the artistic viewpoint, as from other angles, it is not rash to compare it with what have been at their cradle, the grand civilizations of antiquity. If the disappearance of the grand Negro societies is undeniable, it is then an acquired fact and not an original condition, a phenomenon historically explicable "and not a fatality due to an essential inferiority of the race." A lieutenant of the colonial infantry, Monsieur Roeckel, has consigned in a very suggestive book, the fruit of daily observations. It is not a thesis born of preconception, but a connected mass of authenticated facts recorded from time to time from which M. Roeckel was in position to ward off all comments without their picturesque and significant force being attenuated. Lleut. Roeckel at once affirms that, if he is but little "sensitive," according to the physiological sense of the word, the black is very much so, if one should give the word its full psychological value. Livingstone, himself, did he not declare that wherever he saw the Negro in the state of nature, he knew him to be good, candid, easy, generous, enthusiastic and sensible to gratitude? As to that which regards the intelligence, M. Roeckel's affirmations are considered almost audacious, so shocking are they to our prejudices; but one will willingly to the conclusion of this impartial observer; "Abstraction made," says he, "of all that affects culture, one may say that the black is, for the needs of his kind of life, as well endowed intellectually as the white, if not better. All the difference existing between the brain of the African and ours is that one is educated and the other is uncultured. Only usage of scientific observation has caused us to lose the sense of natural observation." In that which concerns me, I have to declare, that, as well in South America as during my journey in Senegal, the black gives proof of a brilliance of mind and of a faculty of reasoning which could be envied by many Europeans. I have had, as foreman of the employee's force in the pressroom of the Tribune in Buenos Ayres, a Negro gifted with a faculty of comprehension and of a fine wit, qualities which made of him a precious collaborator. To conclude, let us say that the Negro race, considered in the natural state, personifies the youngest branch of the grand family of nations; the qualities of the race predispose it to receive, of the strongest and most advanced races, the direction of which it actually stands in need. Hence, it is those dispositions which the conquering nations are inclined to depreciate and hold in contempt, because they esteem themselves superior to those whose difference in color is not a sign of weakness. We possess an immense African territory, therefore let us draw from that fact the proper inspiration regarding the notion of the equality of the white and black races and the work of African civilization will be more than a hope. It is necessary that economic laws which are intended to rule workmanship should be wise and liberal enough to permit the blacks and whites to live in peace by the fruits of their labor. The Americans, who are people said to have a loyal heart, will obey, we doubt it not, these principles to reestablish order at home. Their good sense will tell them that the union which has made their strength on the battlefields, must not be destroyed by stupid prejudice. VATICAN CATEGORICALLY DENIES PERMISSION TO DIVORCEES TO REWED Rome, Feb. 25.—Authorities at the Vatican, after inquiry, state they are unable to find any communications or exchanges have taken place to warrant publication by a journal of Vienna that marriage of divorcees was about to be inaugurated in Austrian Catholic churches, says an announcement authorized by the pope. No such authorization has been given, it is stated, nor is there any trace of suggestions warranting such a statement, which is said to be canonically impossible. GENERAL WOOD FILES FOR NOMINATION IN GEORGIA Columbus, Ga., Feb. 25.—Major General Leonard Wood filed his declaration of candidacy for the republican presidential nomination with the secretary of state here Sunday. He also filed a statement authorizing candidates for delegates to pledge themselves to his support at the republican national convention. M. H. B. Santiago de Cuba 10 July 1898.

"Pershing was a lieutenant tl and I knew him well," says Serge Bailey. "Everybody liked him and certainly was a fine officer." Deputy Sheriff Bailey Recommended for Medal of Honor Twice. Up and down in the dark elevator which runs from the court house ground floor to the county jail on the fifth floor rides Isaac Bailey, a colored man apparently of middle age. His is a quiet life. An elevator operator's life is not filled with much excitement and you think that Isaac never had anything very interesting in his life. Isaac never volunteers to tell about his adventures. He is simply an elevator man and a deputy under Sheriff Mike Clark. But Isaac—he is better known as Sergeant Bailey—has had excitement a plenty. He was in the United States army for a quarter of a century. During all that time he belonged to the famous Tenth cavalry, which saved Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Rivers at the battle of Santiago, Cuba. Sergeant Bailey has fought Indians, Spaniards and Filipinos. Arizona Shooting Bee. During his first enlistment he was stationed in Arizona at Fort Apache. He was dispatched to Holbrook, ninety miles away to relieve another sergeant there in taking care of some Indian property. The cowboys at Holbrook were getting too "skittish" to suit the other sergeant. Soon after Sergeant Bailey arrived there he heard that three of his six men were in Tom Pickett's saloon, where the cowboys were engaged in their favorite pastime of making the troopers dance by shooting near their feet. Sergeant Bailey went into the saloon. Pickett was a "bad man" and had a "private cemetery" where he buried the men killed in his saloon. "Hre, boys, you mustn't shoot at my men." said Sergeant Bailey as he stepped inside the door. "Oh, the h— you say!" exclaimed a fellow called Cactus Bill. "Now you dance." But Sergeant Bailey had drawn his revolver and had Cactus Bill "covered." "I can't dance," he said, slowly, "but I play pretty good music." The cowboys knew wheat he meant by the "music," but they were a desperate lot. A general shooting-up was about to start, when, suddenly, across the bar was thrown the barrel of a shotgun. At the other end of it was Pickett himself. "I'll plug the heart of the first blankety blank that fires at the sergeant," he said. Pickett was an old friend of Seargeant Bailey. Retired by Pershing. Sergeant Bailey served a number of consecutive enlistments totaling 25 years and is now retired as regimental quartermaster sergeant. His discharge, given July 9, 1898, is countersigned by "John J.

This discharge was given during the Cuban campaign of the Spanish-American war and the sergeant reenlisted the next day. The discharge paper on which General Pershing's name appears bears also this notation, "Sergeant Bailey showed conspicuous gallantry in assault on Spanish entrenchments at Santiago de Cuba, July 1, 1898." "That was the time when we saved Colonel Roosevelt and the Rough Riders," says the sergeant, opening the jail door to let out a couple of deputy sheriffs. "We had fought the Spaniards for two hours and driven them out of their entrenchments. Roosevelt and his men came in on the left and the Spaniards opened fire on them. The Tenth cavalry arrived just in time. That was where Hamilton Fish and several others were killed." Recommended for Medal. For his actions in this battle Sergeant Bailey was recommended for a medal of honor. (Continued on Page 8.) GENERAL WOOD LIKE ROOSEVELT By Edgar G. Brown. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 23.—Ever since General Leonard Wood declared before the Lincoln League assembled in Chicago that he stood for equal rights, equal justice and equal protection to all citizens, in other words, that he stood for the Rooseveltian Square Deal and further stated that America must be made safe for Americans, hundreds have sent their names to be enrolled as charter members of the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club located in this city. Everyone feels that Leonard Wood will be the next great republican leader because he is a real American like Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. F. B. Ransom, recently appointed on the Indiana state plateform committee to represent the colored people of this state, leans toward General Wood because he thinks Leonard Wood understands the needs of all the people of the United States and like Theodore Roosevelt will be able to put the country in line for greater progress in the next four years. Some other prominent leaders to take stand for Wood are Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Mississippi, and Major John R. Lynch, ex-auditor of the navy and at present residing in Chicago. All people wishing to be enrolled as charter members of the National Colored People's Wood-for-President club with headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana can do so by sending in their name and address at once to this association. General Wood is the only candidate up to date to publicly state his position in regard to the colored people. --- Events and Persons Have you joined the N. A. A. C. P. yet? Why not?

The Lincoln League, with its well chosen name, recently in session in Chicago, may become a useful instrument in aiding the colored people in their fight for justice, if it stands firm for the right and is not merely an appendage of the republican party. It should be kept a nonpartisan body and the members should see that it does not degenerate into a jimcrow organization ready to sell out to the highest cash bidder. Here are three striking examples of the wisdom of nonpartisan action: The prohibition victory was won by nonpartisan work. The prohibition forces aided the party which was willing to reciprocate. National woman's suffrage has been practically achieved because the suffragists have kept aloof from partisan politics and voted for the candidates and party which offered the most in the suffrage line. Labor has been victorious in its battles because it has not attempted to do the un-American thing of organizing a labor party. Lynching, segregation and the thousand and one obstacles which lie in the path of the colored people may be swept aside, if colored voters will ignore party lines, republican, democratic, socialist, labor or other and vote for the party or candidate which offers the most in justice and rights.—The Appeal (St. Paul, Minn.) RELATIVE OF OMAHA MAN WITH WOOD PARTY Andrew Moss, son of Attorney John W. Moss of Washington, D. C., who has been a messenger in the war department for the past fifteen years, and a special protege of General Baker, is a splendid type of the keen, alert, intelligent young men of the day. He is a member of the Wood party and both officers spoke of him to his cousin, M. F. Singleton, in the most complimentary terms. This was Mr. Moss' first visit to Omaha. His glimpse of our city has given him a desire to return when he can remain longer. Naturally, he is an enthusiastic Wood booster. ANNUAL QUIET DAY FOR WOMEN. Next Thursday the Rev. Wilbur Scranton Leete, rector of St. Luke's church, Plattsmouth, will conduct the usual "Quiet Day" for women at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. The services begin at 9:30 a. m. and close at 3:30 p. m. These services are open to all persons who wish to attend. Two meditations or addresses are given in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Claude Nethaway, whose second trial for leading a mob which lynched a Negro at the court house is pending, is now defendant in a divorce suit, all over his continual talk about "nigger lovers." His second wife, who is now seeking divorce, says Nethaway is nutty about the "Negro question" and makes her life miserable. It has been suggested that Mrs. Nethaway is using good judgment. It has also been suggested by a lot of people that Nethaway's first wife would have used good judgment had she taken similar action. As a general proposition those in touch with all the Nethaway business were never very well satisfied about the manner in which the trial of Mrs. Nethaway's slayer ended. Nethaway himself has lost considerable respect of former friends and his latest escapade tends to enhance that condition. SPECIAL MEETING OF THEOE DORE ROOSEVELT A special meeting of the Theodore Roosevelt Post of the American Legion will be held at Community hall, 2420 Lake street, Friday night, at which time special speakers will discuss and explain allotments, insurance, vocational training, farm land and other subjects in which all soldiers are interested. The plans to be followed to secure the bonus will also be discussed. All service men, whether members of the Legion or not, are requested to be present Amos B. Madison, post commander; Rufus Long, adjutant. In last week's report of the Pollyanna Dancing school recital one number was inadvertently omitted. It was the pretty "Flirtation Dance," given by Ernestine and Constance Singleton and Nathalle Brown, three little girls, who, like all the rest, did themselves and their teacher proud. SPECIAL LENTEN SERVICES. The Monitor is requested to call the attention of its readers to special Lenten services which may interest some. Bishop Shayler will deliver a series of addresses to women on "Personal Religion" every Friday morning during Lent at All Saints' church, Twenty-sixth and Dewey avenues at 10:30. The services last just one hour. The usual twenty minutes noonday services will be held at Trinity Cathedral, Eighteenth and Capitol avenue, every week day during Lent from 12:10 to 12:30. The Ocowasin Group, Camp Fire Girls, met Friday at community room. The evening was spent in singing and sewing on head bands. CARD OF THANKS. CARD OF THANKS. AN OMISSION. CAMP FIRE.

Miss Manicia Goodchild, for many years a resident of Omaha, passed quietly and peacefully away at the family residence, 3640 Prairie avenue, Chicago, early Sunday morning after a protracted illness. Miss Goodchild was born at Cape Giradeau, Mo., but was reared in Grand Island, Neb. She was the eighth child of Thomas and Emily Goodchild. Several years ago, after the death of her father the Goodchild family, consisting of the mother, the Misses Mary, Delcia and Manicia and the youngest brother, Solomon D., removed to Omaha, where Mrs. Goodchild died. The family resided here, where they were most highly respected, for many years. A few years ago they removed to Chicago. Miss Manicia was noted for her warm-heartedness, kindness and general helpfulness. The body, accompanied by the surviving sisters and brother, was brought to Omaha for burial Wednesday. The funeral was held from the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, where she was confirmed and to which she was devoted, this morning at 10 o'clock, where in addition to the usual burial office a requiem eucharist was offered. The Rev. John Albert Williams officiated. Interment was in the family lot in Forest Lawn cemetery beside the body of her mother. A MOTHERLY WOMAN Mrs. Jennie Pearson, aged 84, passed quietly to rest last Thursday night at the home of her grand-granddaughter, Mrs. Josie Henderson Watkins, at Rivertown, Wyo. Mrs. Pearson, who was one of those rare motherly women whom all who know instinctively love had been in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Waters of the Waters-Barnhart Printing company since 1904 until a few months ago when she went to make her home with her granddaughter. Speaking of her, Mrs. Waters said: "God bless her, I cannot begin to tell you how much we loved her. We called her auntie, but she was all that a mother could be to us. You cannot understand how fully she took Ed and me into her warm loving heart. If there ever was a sincere Christian soul it was she. 'She hath done what she could,' fittingly applies to her." This sincere tribute to Mrs. Jennie Pearson speaks eloquently of her long and useful life. THE KAFFIR CHEMICAL LABORATORIES SOON TO MOVE INTO LARGER QUARTERS The Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, Incorporated, manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, toilet preparations, chemicals and medicines, now located at 922-24 Douglas street, are making preparations to move into larger quarters, where they will have better facilities for pushing the sale of their products.

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. ADMIRERS of General Pershing are enthusiastically advocating his nomination by the republican party for the presidency. But just what claim he has upon the republican party for this high honor The Monitor is at a loss to know. He has been discretely silent as to his party affiliations. His ardent political admirers and sponsors have been equally mute upon this all-important subject. If he be a republican, he has been mighty quiet about it. No one seems to know what his politics are. So far as we have been able to learn he has never publicly declared himself. If he be a republican, and The Monitor is frank to confess that we do not believe he is, it is quite apparent that he is not proud of it, else why his reticence and reluctance to make it known? Our candid opinion is that General Pershing has been and is now a democrat, and that his friends who have been advocating his candidacy at the hands of the republicans have placed him in quite an embarrassing position. We do not know what General Pershing's politics are, but this we do know: A democratic administration selected him as commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in preference to another at least equally experienced and gallant military commander concerning whose republicanism there never wasst the slightest doubt. Knowing the disposition of the present administration to advance wherever and whenever possible men of southern birth and by that fact, naturally and generally affiliated with the democratic party, Pershing's high favor with Woodrow Wilson's administration is not without its sinister significance. When this fact is considered in connection with his persistent sphinx-like silence as to his party affiliation it becomes ominously significant. General Pershing is a native of Missouri, accounted a southern state, and until quite recently confidently depended upon to return a democratic majority. Missouri republicans account their party affiliation such a distinction and an honor that they never hesitate to make that fact known. General Pershing certainly does not belong to that class of Missouri republicans, that is very evident. What are General Pershing's politics? Who knows? Would it not be well for those who are pushing his candidacy for the republican nomination to enlighten the public on this very important matter? There is no doubt in the mind of anybody as to General Wood's party affiliations. He is a republican. But how about General Pershing? Is he a democrat, republican, socialist or mugwump? Who knows? "Speak up, John, 'spress yourself.'" BE SURE TO REGISTER. THE Monitor desires to call the attention of our readers to the importance of registering and voting. Many of our people have recently come from sections of the country where they were not permitted to vote. Naturally, they have become indifferent to the privilege of exercising their rights as electors. We want to make it as plain as we know how that in Nebraska every citizen has a right to vote and his vote is counted. But in order to vote citizens must register. There will soon be announced special registration days, when voters may register in their own precintr or voting district; but it is not necessary to wait for these special days. Go to the election commissioner's office in the court house any week-day and register. Everybody who wants to vote must register. Elections this year are tremendously important. Your vote, little as you think about it, may decide who shall be the president for the next four years. In every public speech General Wood makes it perfectly plain where he stands upon prominent questions before the country today. He makes it perfectly plain that he stands uncompromisingly for law and order and the protection of all classes of citizens under the constitution of the United States. This is what the American people want. Not only have we General Wood's words for what he believes, but we have his actions. His administration in Cuba and the Philippines and his fair, firm and decisive actions wherever he has been sent to restore and maintain order proclaim the kind of man he is. He is unquestionably the man for president of the United States in this era of reconstruction and international disquietude and unrest. WHEELER, WAKE UP. OUR good friend, the Rev. Robert L. Wheeler, veteran pastor of the Wheeler Memorial Presbyterian Church, South Side, in his admirable parish paper, The Presbyterian, under the caption, "A Negro High School," says: "The citizenship and board of education of our public schools of the city of Omaha owe it to the Negro population to immediately provide High school facilities for our Negro boys and girls. This duty is long past overdue. Beyond the eighth grade, none of the doors of opportunity are open to the Negro students of Omaha. The Negro taxpayer and citizen is entitled to a Negro high school for his children. This 'patient ox' in the shops of human industry should have better recognition by our citizenship. We grow rampant about the 'foreign born' and their children and beat the tom-tom in a rallying cry to succor them. But what about the Negro who is not foreign born? What about our pretty speech inscribed on the great seal of the state of Nebraska of 'Equality Before the Law?' There are 'War Mothers' in the Negro homes whose sons made good on every battlefield since the American revolution. But did you ever see their photos in the society columns? The Negro never led a riot or a strike, destroyed public property, or threw a bomb, or raised the red flag, or kissed the feet of the kaiser. Simple justice declares that the Omaha Negro citizen should have the educational benefits of the high school." We appreciate the spirit in which Dr. Wheeler writes, but we urge him to wake up and rub his eyes. Negro school children, under the laws of the state of Nebraska are entitled to the same educational advantages and privileges that any others are. Colored children have graduated from the South Side High school. At present there are about sixty colored students in the Central and Commercial high schools. The colored alumni of Central High number nearly seventy. The colored citizens of Nebraska have no complaint to make concerning educational advantages for their children. BUSINESS VENTURES. SEVERAL of our progressive citizens are venturing into the business and commercial world. This is as it should be. We wish every one abundant success, and there is no reason why, with diligence, study of one's line and strict application to business our people cannot succeed in the business world. The only way to learn to do things is by doing them. It is up to us to make places for our boys and girls in business establishments and to make our own place in the commercial world. We are at last awakening to a sense of our duty and the recognition of our opportunities in the business world. THE MONITOR CONCERNING POLITENESS. TOO frequent mention cannot be made of the necessity of our people constantly showing by our conduct on street cars and in public places that we are people of good manners and breeding. It does not make the slightest difference whether the other fellow shows politeness and good manners or not, that does not excuse us. Good manners show the gentleman, the want of it the fellow. THE most valuable asset of our country is our youth, our boys and girls. Every agency that can be used to help, uplift and ennoble them should be given most hearty welcome and support. The home comes first in the rearing and training of youth. But so many homes of the land are irreligious, godless or indifferent that perhaps seventy per cent of American youth do not receive the home training that makes for the development of the highest type of character and the best standard of citizenship. Disobedience to law, which at present is becoming so pronounced in our country, is largely traceable to the fact that so many parents show by their carelessness and indifferent lives such disrespect for religion; for it must not be forgotten that religion is the foundation upon which law and order rest. Therefore that citizen, and especially that parent, who refuses to pay open and consistent respect to religion, is encouraging, although he does not intend to do so, disrespect for law and the orderly process of government and is acting as the worst enemy of the public good. When statistics show that only thirty per cent that is to say only thirty out of every one hundred persons in the United States, profess to be even nominally identified with any religious body whatsoever, it will readily be seen how startling indifference to religion is. When too, it is understood that religion teaches self-control and respect for law and the rights of others, and we perceive the full significance of the indifference to religion which statistics indicate, we can readily account for the serious conditions which confront us today. Now, if we would save our youth and rear them to law-abiding, high-minded, self-respecting citizenship, there must be greater respect for religion shown by parents and others who are interested in the welfare of the nation. This will help immensely. But in addition to this, since many thousands may not be reached directly in this way every agency that can be employed to reach the youth of our land and inspire them with high ideals of service and usefulness—for service and usefulness are religion in action—must be fostered, encouraged and supported. Youth saving is the most important work before not only America, but the entire world today. Perhaps the situation is more acute in the United States than elsewhere because of the large liberty of the individual initiative and action permitted. Greater interest in the children is the imperative duty of the hour. THE CHAMPION BUSINESS By William Pickens, New York City. Now and then we hear that some white champion has announced that he will refuse to give any Negro a chance at the title by refusing to contend with any Negro aspirant. Very often these very white men may have Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR It's no longer necessary to go into the details describing the practical merits of the Ford car—everybody knows all about "The Universal Car." How it goes and comes day after day and year after year at an operating expense so small that it's wonderful. This advertisement is to urge prospective buyers to place orders without delay. Buy a Ford car when you can get one. We'll take good care of your order—get your Ford to you as soon as possible—and give the best in "after-service" when required. SAMPLE-HART MOTOR CO. 100% Ford Service 18th and Burt Streets OMAHA YOUTH SAVING. PERISCOPE. reached their eminence in their line largely through the help of colored men. This was true of James J. Corbett and Jack Dempsey. Corbett first got a real chance to attract attention by boxing friendly rounds with Peter Jackson. And after Corbett become champion by knocking out Sullivan, who, by the way, had been really afraid to box Jackson, then Corbett consistently dodged Jackson—for plain reasons. And it was a colored man who gave Jack Dempsey some of his best training to fight Willard. This Negro, while "showing Dempsey how," almost knocked Dempsey out, so that the latter had to stop training for a week or so. But what are we going to do about it when white men in any line will not give the Negro a chance at the honors? The colored men should sift out their best contestant and this real champion of the colored world should challenge all comers, including the "white" champion. If this white champion refuses to accept a legitimate challenge, he will no longer be champion of the world, but will merely the "champion of the white race." The man who is willing to meet all comers will be the real champion of the world. Fair-minded foreigners will so regard him, and history will so regard him. To accomplish this, the colored people must never make the mistake of adopting the white man's error. They must never say that "This is for colored people only." They must keep the door always open to MEN. While developing their champion, they must invite all contestants of any race to take a hand. This will put principle and spirit on the side of the Negro, and will put the Negro on the side of justice and God. Have you ever thought what a fine chance the American Negro has to be the real democrat and the real man? The Negro can take his stand on principle every time. That is a fine opportunity. I have often thought of the advantages of being a black man in America. If a black man wants to give his seat in a car to any lady, white or black, he can do so without apologies, and without looking around to see who is looking at him. If a colored audience wants to listen to a white man speak, the chairman never has to "explain." If a black man lifts his hat to a white woman, he does not to feel "cheap" and afraid of somebody else. And if a Negro wants to be a champion, he can be a REAL champion, and not have to explain to future generations "that—er—such and such a race was of course not considered," and that he was really the champion of only a certain fraction of the human race. ON RACIAL SUPERIORITY. There are 367,710 Negroes accepted for military service in the American military forces under the selective service law. Of the men examined 24.04 per cent of the whites and 34.10 per cent of the colored men were inducted into the army. These figures are taken from the Negri Year Book published by the Tuskegee Institute. Taking into account physical and mental unfitness, claims for exemption and every other basis for service under the draft law, 10.16 per cent more Negroes than whites—in proportion to the number examined—qualified for service. We recommend that these figures be tucked away in a convenient corner of the mind for ready reference when racial consent mounts high or prejudice against the Negro runs strong.

Former Ambassador to Turkey and Leader in Near East Relief. If they were good enough to fight and die for us when we needed their help so sorely, they are good enough now to share some meager little crumbs from our plenty when they have nothing, when hundreds of thousands of them are homeless, unclad, foodless and threatened with extermination by their enemies and our own. Net far from a million Christians have been murdered by their Turkish oppressors. Hungry, terror stricken hundreds of thousands of refugees now look to the United States for succ Have Trust in America We cannot refuse. Next to their faith in God is their trust in the disinterested good will and generosity of O Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. HENRY MORGENTHAU. the American people. They look to us as the human agency to extricate them from the frightful situation in which they have been left as a consequence of the war. If we should fall to aid them, starvation and the winter's cold would go far to completing the work done by the unspeakable Turk. I have not seen with my own eyes the misery in which the Armenians now exist. I have been spared that. But the reports which have been brought in by agents of the Near East Relief and by representatives of the Peace Conference paint a picture of wretchedness inconceivable to those who have not a first hand impression of the savagery of the Mussulman. Exiled From Homes. Since the beginning of the war the Turkish Armenians have been largely refugees from their homes. A simple agricultural people, they have been exiles from their farms, deprived of all opportunity to support themselves. Year by year their sufferings have increased. Now, a year after fighting has ceased, they are still living the life of nomads, able to continue to keep alive only by virtue of American philanthropy. These homeless people—"flithy infidels" to the Turk—were good enough to exert their poor might in our behalf while the war was still in the balance. Massacres of a half century had not so broken their spirit that they dared not fight for right and for democracy when justice was the issue. We accepted their aid then. Surely we shall not pass them by without compassion now. The day has passed when any self respecting man dares permit absorption in his own personal affairs to exclude consideration of his neighbor's well being. No honorable man can knowingly allow his neighbor to hunger or to go unclothed. The Christian peoples of the Near East are our neighbors. The money needed to relieve them can be spared without causing any man, woman or child is the United States to suffer. Must Not Rest on Past. In other years of our own free will we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our schools and colleges and hospitals have played a wonderful role in humanizing that dark spot in the world. Our ideas, our educational resources, our material equipment, have been leaved in the Near East. Because we have done well in times past we have this great opportunity for the present. The Armenians have been treated as perhaps no people in history have been treated because they are the spiritual brothers of western races. Will America help them? There can be but one answer. Their necessity is dire, but our power is great. We are wealthy. We are a member of the family of nations. Our brothers call us. Food, clothes, money, are immediately wanted. If ever unmerited suffering called for succor the plight of the Armenians should be heeded now. A few months more and it may be relief will be too late for those myriads whom only we can save. We shall not fall them. DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER © by the AUTHOR. SALT, PEPPER, SUGAR. "The Sugar Bowl doesn't appreciate us," said the Salt Cellar. "Who do you mean when you say 'us'?" asked the Sugar Bowl. "I mean Pepper Shaker and myself," said the Salt Cellar. "And why do you not think I appreciate you?" asked the Sugar Bowl. "I'm sure I don't know why you don't," said the Salt Cellar. "Anything would think you ought to. Anyone, with any sense, appreciates us." "Of course," said the Sugar Bowl, "I expect you to be a little rude at times. I expect you would be a scrap sharp and all of that. But I do not mind. I am sweet enough to forgive you." "But you haven't told me whether you appreciate me or not?" said the Salt Cellar, "and I do want to make the Sugar Bowl say that it does appreciate the Salt Cellar and the Pepper Shaker. It would show that the Sugar Bowl had something else besides sweetness." "What else could I have or would I want to have besides sweetness?" asked the Sugar Bowl. "Isn't it enough that I am always sweet?" "No," said the Salt Cellar, "it is not. There are lots of sweet creatures who never say anything mean and who never do any harm, but at the same time they don't do anything especially kind and they don't do anything especially helpful. "They're sweet enough but they haven't much character. Now you will show character if you not only smile sweetly upon me but if you will "I Will Admit It." admit that the Salt Cellar and the Pepper Shaker have good work to do in the world." "Ah, yes," said the Sugar Bowl, "I will admit it, and I think I should appreciate other creatures and things more than I do. I am glad we've had this talk. "It is true—I have felt that I was so sweet I didn't have to do anything. Just because I never did anything which was sour and mean I thought I was good enough. But I wasn't. I understand that now. "Creatures and things aren't to be admired who won't take the trouble to go out of their way to do nice things. And as the Sugar Bowl can't go walking around looking for nice things to do at least it can admire the Salt Cellar and the Pepper Shaker for the work they do in seasoning and making things have a good taste." "Ah, Sugar Bowl," said the Salt Cellar, "I am glad to hear you talk this way. For some time I have been afraid that you didn't have enough character. I was very much afraid that you were becoming too sugary and too weak! "The Pepper Shaker would tell you too how much he thinks of you but if he comes about too much he is apt to make people sneeze. He doesn't like to do that. He can't help it if too much of him is used, but he hates to be used like that. He likes to add to the taste of things, but not to be made out a cruel creature. "Yes, he had a terrible blow once. He was treated so badly! It wasn't fair to him at all. "Some very mean boys and girls thought it would be fun to put sneezing powder in the flowers which they would give to their friends to smell. Then as their friends began to sneeze they would laugh. "Well, a great deal of my Pepper friend was used then. He made those people sneeze and he didn't want to in the least. Oh, he did feel so badly about it. It wasn't funny he said, it was mean, straight and out mean! The people who sneezed were miserable. Their noses hurt, their throats hurt and they couldn't sleep for several nights. "One little girl who had sneezed so hard and so much lost her voice for several days for the sneezing powder got down in her throat, and her throat has never been quite so strong since. "So I think we should all be used in our places and not too much of any of us, for if too much sugar is used things will be sickish and if too much pepper or salt is used the poor pepper and salt creatures are taken a mean advantage of!" The Greatest Change "When water becomes ice," asked the teacher, "what is the great change that takes place?" "The greatest change, ma'am," said the little boy, "is the change in price."—Our Dumb Animals. THE MONITOR (Copyright, 1920, Western Newpaper Union) "A wilful, ungrateful girl!" exclaimed Miss Maria Ward, "but I will bend her, even if I break her!" Thus to an old spinster friend, soulless and crabbed as herself, and the latter voiced entire approval of the system and designs of her double in primness, prejudice, and, as it was now turning out, perfidy. The subject of discussion was Miss Ward's niece, Drusilla North. Since she was twelve years of age her aunt had been her guardian, in charge of a small estate left by her father. A girl of less gentle mold would long since have resented and abandoned the strict discipline and kill-joy methods of the soured old maid. There was an innate sprightliness and optimism inherent with Drusilla, however, that sustained her mightily. She submitted to exclusion from the coveted companionship of other young people, she sat patiently in sewing circles, dreary lecture rooms and uncongenial meetings of a club of which Miss Ward was secretary, and which comprised all the long-haired male theorists of the district and most of the female faddists. Meantime, Drusilla dreamed. She loved poetry, sentiment and all that was true, good and beautiful. She anticipated her twenty-first birthday, when the ban would be lifted and she could enter into real life and joyfulness. Then one day she met Irving Thearle on her way to a town two miles distant, whither she was sent weekly to carry messages and dainties to an incapacitated old lady friend of her aunt. He came into her life so charmingly, so naturally, that it seemed to Drusilla as if it was all predestined. He was stopping only incidentally at Millville in the property interests of a relative, was young, handsome, chivalrous. The winding country road was lined with flowers, and beyond were bird-hunted stretches of timber and rose-spangled reaches of velvety sward, where they roamed at will, and that one day in the week when they met became a sweetly beautiful idy to both. No word of love was spoken, but its expression came forcibly to both when Miss Ward made the discovery of this stolen companionship and like a destructive hurricane crossed the paradisiacal path of love and beauty. Meantime Miss Ward had introduced into the household as a tri-weekly visitor a Professor Jeremiah Black, whose cult was antiquity and whose efforts to court Drusilla were persis tent, but repelled. He was a long lank youth, whom, Drusilla discerned, Miss Ward was intent on marrying her to, possibly interested as to Drusilla's little fortune. There was a picnic one bright July day which all Millville usually attended, and Drusilla consented to accompany her aunt and the professor, because she believed Irving would be tuere, and was prepared to get some word to him. Arrived at the festal scene Miss Ward selected an isolated spot, and, lynx-eyed, kept Drusilla from conversing with any one except herself and the professor. Drusilla, however, was so uncongenial and dull that the latter wandered off by himself in a somewhat disgruntled mood. Her heart was beating high, however, for she had seen Irving arrive in an automobile and later lurking in the woodland near by. Then she caught sight of him gazing directly at her from a near covert. "I wish you would treat the professor with more attention and respect," spoke her aunt. "When there is dancing I wish you to retain him as your partner." "I am not prepared to join in the dancing," returned Drusilla with artful mildness, and removing her hat she disclosed several wisps of her hair done up in papers. "You might try to oblige me for once!" observed Miss Ward tartly, and Drusilla proceeded to remove the curl papers. Her aunt was busy primping, with a hand-glass assisting. Drusilla twisted several tiny wisps of paper free. She turned a quick glance in the direction of her lurking lower. She suspended a larger piece of curl paper, wadded it and flung it into a bush nearby. Irving saw and understood. When Drusilla and her aunt started for the dancing pavilion he gained the bush, unwisted the discarded curl paper and read: "Meet me at the spring in an hour." It was that length of time later that Drusilla, breathless and excited, joined him there. "I just managed to get away from my aunt," she fluttered. "Oh, Irving! they are trying to marry me to that horrid professor and I am going to run away from home." "Grand!" commented Irving cheerfully. "I'm going to, likewise. Drusilla, dear, let us go together. My auto is handy; I know a convenient clergyman not five miles away. Shall we hurry to him and then begin a joyous, truant honeymoon?" "Do you care for me so much, then!" faltered Drusilla, and his earnest, loyal gaze gave an assuring reply. "I trust my future all to you," she murmured, and his strong arm encircled her as they hastened to the waiting automobile that was to them a wertable Cupid's car. By RALPH HAMILTON The KITCHEN CABINET SEASONABLE FOODS. To each man is given a day, and his work for the day; And once, and no more, he is given to travel this way. And woe if he flies from the task, whatever the odds; For the task is appointed to him on the scroll of the gods. —Edwin Markham. For those who enjoy kidneys the following dish will prove worth a trial: Beefsteak and Kidney Pie.—For an ordinary pie use one pound of round steak and four or five lamb's kidneys. Cut the steak in-to pieces an inch Beetsteak and Kidney Ple.—For an ordinary pie use one pound of round steak and four or five lamb's kidneys. Cut the steak into pieces an inch and a half long and wide. Cut the kidneys through the center. Put the kidneys into cold, slightly salted water and allow this to come slowly to the boiling point. As soon as the boiling point is reached, draw off the water, add cold, salted water and boil again. Then drain, rinse well and add the kidneys to the steak. In the meantime, roll the pieces of steak in seasoned flour, and brown nicely in a frying pan. Cover with water; add a pinch of marjoram, summer savory, and a few grains of nutmeg. Simmer until the meat is tender. Add any further seasoning needed. Thicken the gravy with flour and butter. Pour the meat into a pie dish with gravy enough to cover and then add the pastry top. Serve either hot or cold. Pastry for Meat Pies.—Cream together one and one-half tablespoonfuls each of lard and butter. Put this into one cupful of flour which has been mixed with one-half teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Add enough cold milk to make the particles stick together. Roll and cover to the edge of the dish. Leave an opening for the steam to escape. Serve from the dish after baking a golden brown. Lemon Honey.—Cream one cupful of butter, add one-half cupful of sugar and mix until well blended. Beat in two-thirds of a cupful of honey and heat in a double boiler, beating until well blended. Beat four egg yolks until thick, add the rind of a lemon, turn into the mixture and cook until thick. Add the juice of two lemons and stir until the mixture is like thick cream. This will keep if put into covered jelly glasses. Is very nice for cake or sand-wich filling. SIOUX CITY, IOWA. Mr. and Mrs. Walter J.

Ker- lin, professor of English in the Vir- ginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., is the name of a new book in the hands of the publishers. It will come from the press in a short time and will be unique in contents. The book is designed particularly to be circu- lated among the white people of the Upited States and is made up com- pletely from newspaper stories, spe- lal newspaper contributions, edi- torials and cartoons from seventy or more race newspapers and magazines throughout the country. The selec- tion covers the period beginning with the Washington riot, up to the close of the year 1919, and is ermplete in every detail. It is calculated to have a tre- miendous effect in creating a better understanding of the Negro’s problem ot adjustment. FIRST POPULATION ANNOUNCE- MENTS FOR 1920 ARE ISSUED Washington, Feb. 25—The first population announcements for the 1920 census were issued Saturday night by the census bureau and were as follows: Cincinnati, 401,158; an increase of 37,567 or 10.3 per cent. ‘Washington, 437,414; an increase of 103,345 or 32.1 per cent over 1910. Cincinnati ranked as thirteenth city of the country in 1910, with a popula- tion of 363,591. Washington ranked sixteenth with a population of 331,069. Census bureau estimates of Cincin- nati’s population July 1, 1917, were 414.248 and Washington's on that date 369,282. From now on, as soon as the statis- tics gathered by the enumerators and special agents are assembled and cer- tified. the date will be made public, the population of the larger cities of the country being given out first. Then will follow the population of the various counties, which number more than 2,900, together with the divisions of townships, precincts and towns, with the population of each incorpor- ated city, NEGROES ORGANIZE, Dispatches carry the news that the Negroes of Chicago are on the point of forming co-operative societies for buying and selling. ‘This is good news. They will find, as white men have found, that there is no progress without organization, Negro labor union men are reported as backing the movement, which is also good news. Workers everywhere will find their liberty and security only in organiza- tion, and collective bargaining. We will go further and say that the work- ers will find their effective unity only when they recognize that their eco- nomic interests ure one. Men will not come into their own until they accept industrial democracy.—W. Va. Federa- tionist WOOD WON'T WITHDRAW IN STATE FOR PERSHING | Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 25.—Major Gen- eral Wood, with Mrs. Wood and mem- ‘bers of his staff, arrived in Lincoln ‘Monday for an all-day stay. During the day General Wood met members of the Wood-for-President club and delivered an address breathing vital Americanism. According to Frank P, Corrick, state manager of the Wood campaign, the name of re general will not be withdrawn fre the Ne- ‘braska primary in deference to Gen- jeral Pershing. JACK JOHNSON WILL | TAKE HIS ake | Laredo, Tex., Feb. 25.—Jack John- son, former heavyweight pugilistic champion, will leave Mexico City for the United States Thursday, going di- rectly to Chicago, where he will sur- render himself to federal authorities for execution of sentence for convic- tion of violation of the Mann law, ac- cording to an interview in Thursday's issue. of the Heraldo De Mexico of Mexico City. PHILIPPINE REPUBLICANS INDORSE GENERAL WOOD Manilla, P. 1., Feb. 25.—Major Gen- eral Leonard Wood was indorsed as the republican candidate for president and a platform urging postponement of withdrawal of American sovereign- ty over the Philippines until the mass- es of Filipinos are capable of safely exercising the franchise, was adopted at the republican insular convention here last Sunday. ITS SHAMEFUL RECORD. The United States continues its shameful record of lynchings, burn- ings at the stake, breaking into prisons to seize those awaiting trial, that they may be murdered in cold blood. Nearly all these unhappy victims are Negroes, but American citizens as truly as truly as the proudest United States senator whose peace of mind only an occasional murder in Mexico can dis- turb.—Our Dumb Animals.

THE MONITOR JACK JOHNSON’S PETITION, Jack Johnson, the Negro pugilist, who has been for some time a refugee in Mexico, seems to have the notion of the bad boy who thinks that if he runs away and returns after a while saying he's sorry, the heart of his cor- rectors will be softened a bit, The district attorney at Chicago is, however, showing no disposition to compromise or negotiate with the fugitive from federal justice, and gives his the word “unconditionally” in re- sponse to certain terms desired by Jack for his return, The pugilist asks for immunity from arrest for thirty-six hours after stepping on United States soil to arrange for bail so that he will not need to go to jail while another attempt is made to se- cure his discharge in the courts. Jack is desperately anxious to get back to the United States. He needs the coun- try in his business. He wants more fights, big money-making fights, and he found France, and has later found Mexico, hard to exploit in the fight line. He is ambitious to get clear back into the limelight of the arena by fightign Dempsey. Jack Johnson is ignorant and con celted enough to believe that he should be shown some favors on surrender- ing to federal authority, but the mo- ‘ment he is within federal jurisdiction he should be arrested, as any other man under conviction and a bail- jumper would be, and thrown into jail, his case being taken up right from the point where it was interrupted by his flight. —World-Herald. NEGKO GOVERNMENT IN U, 8. A. ‘The Negro controls the south. The south controls the democratic party. The democratic nation still controls the nation, ‘The nation is condueted eth regard to the limitations of the Negro in the south. "Prohibition was adopted by the southern states because it is danger- ous for the Negro to drink. If he ‘drinks he becomes savage or may be- ‘come savage. The south defended it- self against the liquor traffic not be- ‘cause the southern adult did not want to drink, but because he could not al- ow the Negroes to drink | Woman suffrage probably will be | adopted, but it had to win against the south. The south is opposed to ex- tension of suffrage because that in- volves the Negro vote, which is not cast, but which must always be sup- pressed. Extensions of suffrage are inimical to sections which tust main- tain restrictions of suffrage, We probably will not get universal military training because the south is jatraid to train and arm Negroes. Con- gressmen from the south say they will not put arms in the hands of blacks. If that is their reason for opposing universal training we have a whole ‘system of national defense dependent upon the limitations of black people submerged below the citizenship line, We are not blaming the south. It is of no use to blame the south and it is probably unjust. The north, given the southern problems, might behave in the same fashion. But we are be- ing ruled by Negroes to a very con- siderable extent and in very impor- tant matters. ‘The southern Negro governs by the limitations of his citizenship. His in- capacity is an applied test of Ameri- can legislation. If proposed legisla- tion does not fit him it is opposed. One nonvoting southern Negro has more influence upon the course of the United States in many essential par- ticulars than ten voting northern cit- izens. He is powerful in his powerlessness. —Chicago Tribune. : WONDERFUL ADVENTURES ANI ENVIABLE ARMY RECORD OF OMAHA COLORED ELE- VATOR MAN. ae ee ee ee Once, in Arizona, Sergeant Bailey, with a detachment of soldiers, in com- mand of Lt. J. B. McDonald, was in the mountains, when a shot came from behind a rock and wounded one of the men, Then came a voice in the Apache tongue: “I am Gar! Let any man come and take me who dares!” Lietuenant McDonald called for vol- unteers and Sergeant Bailey and Cor- poral Richard Miller stepped forward, The Meutenant ordered them up the hill. Gar’s first bullet grazed the left side of Bailey's head, and his right arm was sticking /from the edge of his rock for another shot, Balley, an ex- pert shot himself, fired and broke the outlaw’s arm. Gar fled, and, in the dense underbrush and rocks, made ‘00d his escape. _ “He was killed a few months tater,” said the sergeant-clevator operator. “He had sent word to an Apache girl to meet him at a certain water hole on a certain night. The girl feared for her life and betrayed him. Sixty men ambushed themselves at the hole, In the moonlight he made an easy shot. Many bullets pierced his body ‘and that was the end of Gar.” Read Record to Regiment. On the occasion of Sergeant Bail- ey’s final discharge, the colonel read to the whole assembled regiment the record of his services. Every one of his discharges bore the legent, “Char- acter, excellent.” Among other things, the colonel stated that Sergeant Bailey was rec- ommended for the certificate of merit by Lt. ©. P, Johnson for his services in ‘the campaign against Kid, a White Mountain Apache Indian in June, 1887. In 1888 he was with General Corbin, settling the Moqui Indian troubles at Keene's canyon, Arizona, and was on the expedition against the Ute Indians in Montana in 1908. | When the Apaches went on a ram- ‘page in Arizona he carried dispatches from Fort Thomas to Fort Apache, a ‘distance of 130 miles, in 17 hours. | He qualified as an expert marksman for six years, expert rifleman three years and sharpshooter for five years. He was a corporal, sergeant and first sergeant from November 1, 1887, Ito April 15, 1903, when he was ap- ‘pointed drum major. In 1908 he was appointed regimental sergeant quar- termaster under which rank he was retired in 1909. Sergeant Bailey was born in Parker county, Texas, September 9, 1860, ‘When he retired from the army he selected Omaha as his home. | “I had visited Omaha at the time of the Trans-Mississippi exposition and other times and thought it was the |best place I knew to live,” he says. He {s married and lives at 2816 Pratt street, where he owns his home, [He is prominent in the affairs of col- ‘ored people. He is president of the Greater Omaha Republican clup and the Round Table club.—Omaha Bee. BIG DEMAND FOR DRUMMERS Why not learn to drum under Hol- land's quick method of instruction?

H heped Monitor goes to press Wednes- | day of each week at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. To insure publication in the current week's issue news items and articles must reach our of- fice by Tuesday night. One form, that is to say, one chase, the iron frame in which one page of the type is “locked np” to go on the press is held open for emergency advertisements, the ‘copy for which cannot be obtained be- fore Wednesday morning, until noon Wednesday. Now and then we can get late news on that page, but ordinarily not. Copy. therefore, that reaches our office Wednesday later than 10 o'clock in the morning stands a slim chance of getting in that week's issue. Frequently copy reaches us Wednes- day afternoon or Thursday and some frate individual calls up to know “Why isn't my {tem in this week's issue?” Too late, dear friends, that's all.
