CHALLENGES POLICEMAN WHO POLITELY DECLINES Warrant Sworn Out for Puglist's Arrest for Disturbing the Peace-Logan, the Challenged, Not Anxious to Enter Fistle Arena—Prefers to Walk His Beat. (Special to The Monitor.) LAWRENCE, Kas., March 23.—Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion, has evidently changed his mind. After he won the championship he discretely declined to meet a black opponent. Jess vowed that he would never fight a Negro. But last week Jess was driving a touring car and attempted to pass Fred Logan. a policeman, who was driving a wagon along a narrow road. The road at this point was too narrow for Logan to turn out of the way and give Jess room to pass. The ex-champion became abusive, called Logan names and challenged him to fight. Strange as it may seem, Logan, although a policeman, having no ambition to enter the fistic arena, but quite contented to follow the humdum life of an ordinary policeman and walk his beat, politely declined Jess' challenge. Being a peace officer, Logan swore out a warrant for the arrest of Jess Willard for disturbing the peace. After Jess explains it to the judge, if Jess is still hankering for a fight with a colored man, it has been suggested that perhaps Jack Johnson or Jack Tholmer or some other artist of the fists will cheerfully accommodate him. DR. BUNDY RELEASED FROM PENITENTIARY Well Known Dentist Who Was Convicted in Connection With East St. Louis Riots for Denfending Race Out on Ball. CASE IS TO BE RE- NEWED BY COURT CHICAGO, March 23.—Dr. Leroy N. Bunday, who was convicted of murder because of the East St. Louis riots, has been granted bail and released from the Illinois state penitentiary. Writ of supersedas was granted by Judge Orrin N. Carter of the supreme court who passed on the case at the request of Judge Duncan who had jurisdiction, but who asked Judge Carter to hear the case owing to the fact that the majority of the sureties lived in Chicago. Judge Carter decided that there was serious and prejudicial error in the record of the crime for which Dr. Bunday was convicted, and decided that he be granted bail to the sum of $25,000. The entire supreme court of the state of Illinois will hear the case in April and pass on it in June. No case before the public has ever interested the people more than that of Dr. Bundy who was convicted because of the St. Louis riots, of murder in the first degree and sentenced to the penitentiary at Chester, Ill., for the rest of his natural life. Dr. Bundy was convicted March, 1919, and has been in the penitentiary for about a year. The great legal victory which results in Dr. Bundy's release is the result of the brilliant, unceasing battle waged by his counsel, Houston and Calloway of Kansas City. These two able barristers have emerged successfully and have won a great legal battle for the race. This case has had practically the entire time of Mr. W. C. Houston since the trial of Dr. Bundy began. Mrs. Bundy and a group of friends left for Chester to welcome Dr. Bundy when he emerged from prison. Leonard, the son of Dr. and Mrs. L. E. Britt is ill.

GEORGIA VILLAGE FIRST TO ERECT MONUMENT Patriotic People Unveil Memorial to Soldiers Who Pald Supreme Sacrifice so That Democracy Ultimately Might Prevail Throughout the Whole Civilized World. WILL THE UNITED STATES REMAIN INDIFFERENT? MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., March 23. —Credit for erecting the first memorial monument in this section, and perhaps in all the land, to soldiers who lost their lives in service during the world war, is believed to belong to the colored people of Baldwin county. On January 1, in the small village known as Harrisburg, populated entirely by colored people, and located just three miles south of Milledgeville, there was a monument unveiled to the memory of the colored soldiers who died in the late war. There were three soldiers from this particular village who were either killed or died while in service, and their neighbors and friends quickly organized and erected this monument in their honor and placed it in the heart of their little village. Village Responded in Drives. The colored citizens of this village had already won distinction for patriotic devotion and service to their country by liberally responding to the calls made in the Liberty loan and Red Cross and war work drives. The shaft was locally designed and is entirely paid for, in fact, oversubscribed to, altogether by the colored people. It has on it the following inscriptions: In Memory of the Colored Soldiers of the World War. Augustus Austin, Killed in Battle in France, September 29, 1918. Willie Warren, Died in Hospital in North Carolina, 1918. Alex Treat, Died at Camp Gordon, 1918. PULLS OFF A SERIOUS STUNT BECOMING COMMON Accuses Colored Man of Grave Crime, But Compelled to Admit He Deliberately Framed Alleged Holdup—Omaha Has Been Cursed by Similar Frameups and Lies, Only the Guildy Ones Did Not Confess. Harrisburg, Pa., March 23.—William M. Byers, 22 years old, station master at Lemoine for the last three years, who startled the community recently by a story of having been bound and gagged by Negroes, who tortured him with a razor to induce him to tell where the money of the office was kept, confessed to Pennsylvania railroad officers that he had staged the holdup in order to appear as a hero in the eyes of his sweetheart. It was recalled that Byers had figured in a similar "holdup" several years ago at Higspire. Railroad officers took a Negro who had been in jail a month to the Pennsylvania station offices and called Byers. He immediately said this man was one of those who had held him up. He was then charged with faking the entire story. He admitted this, saying he had gagged and tied himself after scratching his hands and his face. The railroad will retain him in his present place, because he has violated no rule of the company. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, MARCH 25, 1920 WEST INDIAN FEDERATION OR ANNEXATION TO CANADA, WHICH? Strong Sentiment Prevalent Throughout Scattered Island Possessions of Great Britain for Union With Canada—Believed Universal Suffrage Plebiscite Would Render Such Decision. SOME INTERESTING FACTS CONCERNING ISLAND EMPIRE AT AMERICA'S DOOR Large and Upstanding Population of Color, Ten to One in Every Colony and Hundreds to One in Others, Will Undoubtedly Have Important Influence on American Kindred—Talking Little, Thinking Much.

The ing hard, but saying little. Her gards, with much accuracy and I the island population: KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 20.—The West Indies are much in the public eye these days. The reason for it primarily is the suggestion that has been seriously advanced in certain diplomatic, or undiplomatic, quarters that Great Britain turn them over to the United States in payment for the war debt. This has led to the realization that these islands, numbering hundreds, a fact unknown and unguessed by even the geographically well informed, with its enormous population of color lies at the very door of the United States and may have a tremendous influence upon their kindred in the States, as sympathy between these two sections becomes more keen because of commercial intercourse and knowledge, evidence of which already appears. It is not, however, generally known that there is political unrest growing here that may lead to far-reaching results. The larger numerical group is thinking hard, but saying little. Here is the way a recent writer regards, with much accuracy and little of error, the situation among the island population: Federation of all the British West Indies into one dominion has often been discussed, and it is again to the fore as a substitution for annexation to Canada. To an outsider it seems eminently sensible. It seems absurd that a group of forty scattered islands and territories, with an aggregate population of about that of Ontario, and an aggregate area far less than that, should require eight distinct sets of official machinery to look after their needs. Virgin Islands—also numbering six. The colonies include forty islands big enough to have names, and probably 400 more or less anonymous rocks and rocklets. If we added the Bermudas—and there is no more reason for not doing so than there is for doing it—we would pick up another island for every day in the year. There are 365 in the Bermuda group, but you can walk from one end of Bermuda to the other by daylight and across it in Instead of being hailed with fervor it is denounced as impracticable, and not in the interests of the development of the individual islands. What concern is it of lime-juice-growing Dominica, it is asked, that sugar-growing St. Kitts should flourish? And so on? Antigua, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat and Dominica at present form one colony, known as the Leeward Islands. Among them they have a population of only 150,000, and an area of 600 square miles, yet a retired crown of official argued very lengthily in the papers the other day that their interests would be better served by splitting them up into several colonies than by even continuing the present grouping! Too Many Foreigners. Southern-going steamers try to compose their crews from natives of all the islands, so as to avoid a general temporary desertion when the ship calls at any one which might be the home port of the crew. Barbadians are the best sailors and frequently become petty officers. You will hear the Barbadian boatswain respectfully protest to the second mate, when three or four men have been picked up from St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Trinidad and so on: "Don't you think, sir, we are getting too many foreigners on board?" The Far-Flung Battle Line. The British West Indies are about as great a treasure as a church collection plate scattered over a ten-acre lot. Trinidad is 1,800 miles east of Honduras, and Grand Bahama is 2,200 miles northwest of British Guiana. Between these four stretch leagues and leagues of sea and scores and scores of islands, owned by the French, Dutch, Americans, black republics and Cuba. There are eight different colonies in the British West Indies. These eight West Indian colonies are: British Honduras. Jamaica. Trinidad. Windward Islands-three. Leeward Islands-six in number. House 10. The West Indies are much in the reason for it primarily is the way advanced in certain diplomatic, Great Britain turn them over to or the war debt. This has led to, numbering hundreds, a fact unhe geographically well informed, color lies at the very door of the tremendous influence upon their way between these two sections commercial intercourse and knowlappears. It is not, however, general unrest growing here that may larger numerical group is thinke is the way a recent writer rettle of error, the situation among Virgin Islands—also numbering six. The colonies include forty islands big enough to have names, and probably 400 more or less anonymous rocks and rocklets. If we added the Bermudas—and there is no more reason for not doing so than there is for doing it—we would pick up another island for every day in the year. There are 365 in the Bermuda group, but you can walk from one end of Bermuda to the other by daylight and across it in half an hour. Union With Canada Opposed by Office-Holders. The people who do the talking in the West Indies don't want annexation to Canada. You can hardly expect eight governors or administrators, or lord-lienutenants, or whatever they may be, to throw up their eight cocked hats at the prospect of losing their eight jobs. Much less can you expect their deputies and assistants and secretaries and commissioners and butlers and footmen to be thrilled at the prospect. And these are to some extent the people who do the talking and for the West Indies. The Masses Favor It. The colored population, which is ten to one in every colony, and hundreds to one in some, doesn't do much talking for publication. Judged by its insistent persuasion of every visitor to "take me back to Canada to work for you" a universal suffrage plebiscite of the islands would carry annexation with a clean sweep. But there is no chance of a universal suffrage plebiscite. Most of the islands are crown colonies. Only a few have representative government. And the white minority, fortunately for the islands and islanders, rule. The black population of the British West Indies look to Canada and America as a paradise of easy money. They are working for wages which are often cruelly low, wages which have not risen in proportion to the increase in the cost of living, wages which offer them no hope of advancement for themselves or their offspring. VIRGIN ISLANDS TO LOSE OLD STATUS TO AMERICANIZATION Wasington, D. C., March 23.—Measures to Americanize the Virgin Islands were agreed by the joint congressional commission which recently visited the former Danish possessions. Legislation to establish the American citizenship of the islanders is proposed. The commission also decided to establish American banking interests in the islands to supplant the Danish bank. red Manerce High Register FRENCH WEST INDIES ARE NOT FOR SALE Paris, March 23.—In reply to a letter from United States Senator Berenger intimating that France was to cede the Island of Martinique and Guadeloupe to the United States, Premier Millerand has declared that France has never contemplated ceding the islands to any country for any reason whatever. VIRGINIA BANKERS FORM ASSOCIATION Descendants of Slaves Rapidly Becoming Masters of Finance—Far Cry From the Auction Block to Bank Presidents—Such Wonderful Advance Has Been Made. CONFIDENCE IN RACE STEADILY GROWING NORFOLK, Va., March 23.—Monday March 1, a large number of the representatives of the banking business among colored people in the state of Virginia met at the bank building of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company in Norfolk, and proceeded to organize the "Negro Bankers' Association of Virginia," with the following officers: President, W. M. Rich, cashier Brown Savings bank, Norfolk; first vice president, Mr. Bullock, Mutual Savings bank, Portsmouth; second vice president, F. K. Campbell, Continental Savings bank, Dendron; Secretary, T. David Parham, Crown Savings bank, Newport News; treasurer, Jesse S. Jones, Tidewater Bank and Trust company, Norfolk; executive committee, Levi C. Brown, W. H. C. Brown, T. C. Ervin, Dr. J. A. Strong, M. R. Jackson The Tidewater Bank and Trust company of Norfolk, has a splendidly appointed building, and is deservedly getting the support of the people generally. The Brown Savings bank of Norfolk, has outgrown its present quarters and has bought a site on the corner of Church and Queen streets where it contemplates erecting a modern and up-to-date bank building with all, the latest appliances for such a business. FOR NEW EPOCH IN RACE RELATIONS Governor of Georgia and Mayor of Atlanta to Address National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. New York, March 23.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today announced that its eleventh annual conference would be held in Atlanta, Georgia, from May 10 to June 2, and that Hugh M. Dorsey, governor of Georgia, and James L. Key, mayor of Atlanta, would speak at the meetings. Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky has also been invited to address the conference. This is the first time that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held its conference in the south, according to the announcement at the headquarters, 70 Fifth avenue, Atlanta, having been selected, it was stated, upon invitation extended by Governor Dorsey, Mayor Key, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Atlanta churches. "It is hoped," the statement continues, "that this conference may contribute to more cordial co-operation between white and colored people in all that makes for a better America, to a better understanding among white people of the aspirations of Negro citizens and to clearing the way for elimination of the causes of race friction. "The fact that the governor of Georgia and mayor of Atlanta have signified their willingness to take part in the conference is a good omen for increasing co-operation between white men and colored men in solving race problems." MAKES SPLENDID RECORD AT COMMERCIAL HIGH John Dillard Crawford, First Colored Boy to Flash Course, Graduates With High Honors—Popular With Teachers and Students—Held Several Important Offices. TO John Dillard Crawford, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Crawford, falls the distinction of being the first colored boy to graduate from the Commercial High school. Several girls have graduated, but Dillard is the first boy. He receives his diploma and military certificate as a commissioned officer of cadets Thursday night at the graduating exercises held in the auditorium of Central High. No student who has attended Commercial High has been more popular with instructors and pupils or more active in school affairs than Dillard Crawford, who graduates with high honors. He was first lieutenant in the cadet battalion and commander of the band, secretary of the commissioned officers' club, secretary and treasurer of the Webster debating society, and member of the debating team, member of the nominating committee of the "Hi-Y" club and business manager of his class. Last year Mr. Crawford was presented with a beautiful gold medal by the commissioned officers of the High School of Commerce for winning a "spell down" at the Central High school in a competitive drill and contest between the cadets of both schools. Ranking high in scholarship he is a young man of most pleasing personality and gentlemanly demeanor. He is a communicant and for years has been an altar boy at the church of St. Philip the Deacon. Mr. Crawford's picture did not appear in Sunday's Bee with the other members of his class. It was the only picture omitted. Thikning it an oversight or an accident, Mrs. Crawford called up The Bee and asked why the picture was left out. The reply was in substance this: "It was left out because colored people's pictures don't look well among a group of white people." Young Crawford's classmates are quite indignant over the matter and have requested those of their parents who take The Bee to discontinue it. The World-Herald published Mr. Crawford's picture with the rest of his class. ALABAMA FAVORABLE TO LEONARD WOOD Popular Sentiment Strong for General In Sections of the South. Birmingham, Ala., March 24.—The opinion has been expressed here by those competent to know, that Leonard Wood has the swing of popular sentiment both among the masses and those who will have the voting power at the national republican convention in Chicago. Recently the Birmingham Reporter, a newspaper that has the respect of all classes, carried an editorial favorable to Leonard Wood. Oscar W. Adams is the editor of the Birmingham Reporter, and has been very active in his community in working out the problems of adjustment. 2 By WALTER J. DELANEY It was no joyous elopement or ardent love adventure. Very rationally Arnold Brant and Eugene Valle had met fifty miles from her home, had gone to an obscure clergyman, and been united in marriage. The new husband had just time to catch a train across the continent within the hour, and those two, so hurriedly bound in wedlock, as hurriedly parted. "In two years, dear," he said, as he kissed her good-by. "You wouldn't wait. You would have it so," she sighed. "I hope it is for the best." "The knowledge that you are mine, all mine," returned Arnold Brant. "will inspire me to make a business success." The train flashed away, the bride waved an adieu through a mist of tears. Before noon she was back at home, passing into the house of her brother Hartley, with whom she lived and no one was the wiser. Hers had been a strange experience. Almost from her baby days she had been dominated by her brother's will. He had one thought in life—to make money. A cold, unsympathetic being, he chilled all the sweetness out of the life of Eugenie, and when she was seventeen forced her into marrying Peter Wynne. The latter was a man with prospects, which Hartley magnified. The cheerless honeymoon lasted less than a month and then Wynne went to the far North to develop some mining property. It turned out a complete fiasco, and a year later word was received that Wynne was dead. Before that event Eugenie pined in solitude until, at a neighbor's home, she met Arnold Brant. There was no impulse of disloyalty to Wynne, but a deep, unspoken love existed between those two. When the news came of the death of Wynne, both Brant and herself knew that the self-seeking Hartley Vaile would never sanction their union. Brant had the offer of a position in Australia. He induced Eugenie to consent to the secret marriage. And when they parted at the steps of the altar and possible years of parting faced them, Eugenie was supremely happy, for she had found love at last. Only one letter Eugenie received from Brant, telling that he was about to start into the most remote part of the country and that, if his purpose succeeded, he would return with sufficient means to win him the approbation and recognition of her mercenary brother. Then to Eugenie came an appalling discovery. The full details of the illness and death of Wynne arrived. The first news had been premature. He was mortally ill, but survived for several months. Acting upon the initial intelligence, Eugenie had wedded Brant fifteen days before the demise of her first husband. The later ceremony was illegal, and she was simply a widow and the man she cherished as her life's mate was no more than an utter stranger. She at once wrote to Brant, trusting to the letter finally reaching him however remote he might be from civilization. A year went by and there was no indication that Brant had received the letter. There was an old man named Mark Denvir who had been a power in the business world, but now a helpless invalid. Hartley had cultivated him in the hopes of utilizing his past prestige for his own benefit. One day he came to Eugenie astounding her with an offer of marriage from Denvir. "It means independence for you," represented the subtle schemer, "for he will not live long." Eugenie shrank from the proposal, but the artful and persistent Hartley finally overcame her opposition. A seeming ploything of destiny, forgotten, at least neglected by the only man she had ever loved, Eugenie consented to the sacrifice for her brother's sake. Denvir died within a month. Hartley made a fortune, died before a year was over, and Eugenie was at last truly independent, but she considered her wealth as mere dross, for it failed to bring her happiness. Another year passed by. Amid her self-enforced solitude Eugenie found no surcause to the vague longing for the peace of mind and contentment fate had so cruelly denied her. A stray item in a newspaper, cliting the discovery of a man named Arnold Brant in another city, detailed his being removed to a hospital from a wretched tenement room where he had lain down to die amid poverty, illness and despair. It was Eugenie who had hastened to the side of the fever-stricken man, who, after days of weary watching, met the first intelligent words of the convalescent. She was the confidante of his terrible struggles in an unfriendly wilderness, culminating in the utter failure of all his plans. It was Eugenie who joined in his tears, whilst sobbing out the pathetic story of her own unhappy life. And then—Not at the altar this time, but beside that humble cot, those two were reunited in a new simple second ceremony that promised to result in the happiness and peace both had so lenged for, and so truly deserved. LOVE'S INSURANCE By JESSIE E. SHERWIN (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Two boyhood friends met in the insurance office of Randal Porter, and its proprietor gave Willis Borden a warm, hearty welcome. "Come to the city to settle down, I hear," voiced the latter in a tone of pleased satisfaction. "Retired from business a rich man at twenty-eight. Borden, you are certainly one of fortune's favorites. Not married yet—but I need not ask the question. You always prided yourself as an inveterate woman hater, you know." "You put it harshly, Porter," chided Borden mildly. "Say, rather, a being immensely contented with the single state, and inclined to be shy of the responsibilities that marriage incurs. Yes, fortunately. I have no incumbrances. I intend to settle down in comfortable bachelor quarters and devote myself to reviving companionship with my old friends like yourself. You have an air of prosperity yourself," continued Borden, glancing about the well equipped office and into an inner room where the stenographer sat, entirely occupied in work at her typewriter. "I have done pretty well," replied Porter, with a certain pride. "Of course I may hope for any business you may have in my lines." "As it comes along, surely. I have no property to protect from fire hazard, however. I already carry some fair life insurance. By the way, though, some of my friends have advised me that coming out of my business shell and essaying the society role I may become a victim of designing mother-in-law prospective. I say, you don't insure against marriage. do you?" "On the contrary," replied Porter with perfect serenity, "we take Lloyd's risks on anything from a man's candidate choice of election to an airship trip around the world. Love insurance? Oh, dear, yes! and as you are non-hazardous in that respect a thousand for a year will cost you a mere pittance." "Book me instantly!" ordered Borden, joining in the whimsical railway of the moment. "And, by the way, I expect it will be some time before I definitely settle as to my permanent place of habitat. In the meantime I have some business to transact. Would you indulge me enough to let me sort of make your office here my headquarters, dropping in once in a while when I have an appointment?" "You will oblige and honor me by considering the office your own," replied Porter accommodatingly. "I am going East for two weeks and you can use my desk freely. Miss Trumbull—a moment please." The stenographer was at the side of her employer in an instant. "My friend, Mr. Borden," went on Porter, and Miss Trumbull directed a mere casual flitting glance at Porter, in recognition of the introduction, and then concentrated her attention solely upon her employer. "You will see that my friend has the full use of the office until my return." Miss Cleora Trumbull bowed silently and was back at her typewriter with the diligence of a well-trained employee, all business, and so oblivious to Borden that he looked slightly nettled. "There is a jewel," spoke Porter enthusiastically. "No shirking work, no wasting time, no chatting or flirting with the young men in the next office, like her predecessors. And, by the way, Borden. I half believe she is your prototype. You are a woman hater; she acts like a man hater." "You put me in a rather ungrateful category," resented Borden, some what piqued. "The young lady is certainly an agreeable contrast to the general run of simpering, made-up coquettes it has been my fate to meet." Porter left the city the next morning. About noon Borden came into the office. Miss Trumbull received him with a pleasant nod, but went on strictly with her work. After attending to some correspondence Borden requested her to take some dictation. "Lightning quick in her work, and no waste," ruminated Borden, a trifle disappointed, however, for Miss Trumbull offered no excuse for a chat. His respect for the young lady increased and he realized that idleness after years of close attention to work was making life drearily monotonous. One day her mother visited the office, and he invited both to assuage his gloom by forming a theater party. At the end of two weeks Porter returned. Borden met him at the depot. His face was so jubilant, his manner so spirited that Porter wondered what caused his excessive exhilaration. "I say, Porter," he observed, as they proceeded toward the office, "you will have to dispense with the services of Miss Trumbull." "Why, what do you mean?" inquired the astonished Porter. "And you had better cancel that love insurance, or you may have to pay it." "Cancel it?" repeated Porter vaguely. "That's it," nodded Borden, all joyous smiles. "I don't want a good friend like you to lose a thousand dollars. I'd like to make you a present of ten, for you have been the means of showing me a new road to happiness. When we get to the office congratulations will be in order, for Cleora has consented to become my wife." THE MONITOR (With Apologies to John McRae.)

The Colored Women's Club of Douglas County Perfects Organization and Elects Strong Corps of Officers. The women of Omaha have efficiently organized to take an intelligent and active part in the approaching primaries and campaign. At a meeting held at Community hall last Wednesday night the organizations of the Colored Women's Republican Club of Douglas county was perfected with a membership of 200 and the regular election of a full corps of officers. This meeting was the result of a preliminary meeting held Saturday afternoon, at the same place, called by Mrs. James G. Jewell who had been appointed organizer. At that meeting a temporary organization was effected and precinct committee members elected. At the Wednesday night meeting it was unanimously decided to enter into permanent organization. Mrs. J. Alice Stewart was elected president by acclamation. Mrs. James G. Jewell was nominated as first vice president, but declined on the ground that as organizer she did not care to have any office in the organization. Mrs. Jennie Sellars was unanimously elected first vice president, Mrs. Roe Jackson second vice president, Mrs. Jessie Hale Moss secretary, Mrs. Lillian Wilkinson corresponding secretary and Mrs. Toddy treasurer. The election of the executive committee was deferred to a later meeting. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. H. J. Pinkett, who had been asked to be present in an advisory capacity for his assistance and advice in helping the women perfect their organization. The intelligence, dispatch and unanimity with which the women conducted their meeting was most commendable. Some surprise was caused when one or two very capable women, proposed as officers, stated, "No, thank you. I could not consistently accept for I am not a republican; both republicans and democrats treat us just alike. I can see no relief from either one." This incident shows that women are thinking along political lines, and that all do not think alike. "Our women believe," said one, voicing the sentiment of many, "that as white women are organizing and taking an active part in politics we should do the same. We are forming classes and studying public questions so that we can take an intelligent part in politics. This does not mean that we are going to be masculine or less ladylike than $\textcircled{2}$ are now." COUNCIL OF, DELIBERATIONS MEETS IN LINCOLN On Sunday, March 21, 1920, the Council of Deliberations for the jurisdiction of Nebraska was called in session by the illustrious grand commander for the state of Nebraska, Nathaniel Hunter, 32 degree, in Masonic hall, Lincoln, Neb. The following sublime princes of the Valley of Omaha were present: P. R. Warner, W. O. Dunn, C. M. Simons, F. L. Barnett, George Simpson, S. S. Stewart, C. C. Dudley and Walter L. Seals. After having concluded a successful session they were tendered a sumptuous banquet by the sublime princes of the Valley of Lincoln, after which they left, leaving their best wishes for the success of their dear brethren in Lincoln.

Russel Taylor of Empire, Wyo. arrived in the city last Saturday upon the invitation of the Home Mission committee of the Nebraska synod to make a survey of the situation with a view of ascertaining the expediency of organizing a Presbyterian congregation here. The Presbyterians of the country have determined upon a policy of aggressive missionary work among the colored people. Local Presbyterians are in hearty sympathy with this policy and have felt that with the large number of migrants from the south this field should not be neglected and the synod stands ready to render whatever support may be necessary. The Rev. Russel Taylor has many friends in Omaha. Born in Missouri, Mr. Taylor's family moved to Seward, Neb., when he was quite young, so he is really a Nebraska product. He graduated from the Seward High school and from Bellevue college, where he made an excellent record. He took his first year of theological training at the Omaha Presbyterian Theological seminary, but finished at the famous Lane seminary, founded by the famous Lyman Beecher, father of Henry Ward Beecher and Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, where he graduated in 1899. His ministry has been spent in Oklahoma, Virginia, Tennessee and Wyoming. He married Miss Henrietta Scroggins of Omaha in September, 1899. The Rev. Mr. Taylor will be pleased to get into communication with any Presbyterians who may be in the city and can be reached at 2859 Miami street, where he is stopping with his brother, Joseph Taylor, Webster. 896. AN INTERPRETER OF THE RESTIVE SPIRIT NOTHING that we have read recently more accurately reveals the spirit of the thoughtful young men and women of the race who are demanding with an insistence and persistence that cannot be ignored a new type of unselfish leadership, than a short poem by Andrea Razafkeriefo, the young African poet, and a voluminous contributor to The Crusader, The Negro World and similar publications. It breathes a spirit of indignation against those who, posing as leaders, claim that our special race group is satisfied with its present status. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the writer all must admit that he knows what he wants to say and knows how to say it. He interprets the spirit dominating the new era. His poem is captioned "To Negro 'Leaders.'" And here is what he says with biting sarcasm which all can understand: "Come forth ye lackey leaders (Bought out with jobs and gold) And look upon your people, The race which ye have sold. And though you see us suffering The things conceived in Hell, Go back to your white masters And tell them all is well. Tell them that we are happy Contexted with our lot, Proud to be segregated, Glad to be burnt and shot. That we would have more sorrow, More insult and despair, THE MONITOR That there is not a burden Which we'll not meekly bear. For we have heard your council, "To wait and not complain, That while the nation's fighting The Negro should refrain From speaking up for justice, For life and liberty. Lest he should be a traitor To world democracy. Yea, go back to your owners And tell them ( as you eat, The crumbs around their table The dirt upon their feet), That we are still "dead easy, Serene and satisfied," And tho' 'twill make them chuckle, They'll know that you have lied!

This influx is ascribed to the fact that the Chinese are no longer attracted by German universities or Japanese colleges, owing to the war and the Chinese feeling over the Shantung affair. Another reason for their choice of France is that the United States imposes restrictions upon Chinese immigrants. This affords France an unique opportunity to shape the careers of those destined to be the nucleus of industrial and intellectual China of tomorrow. French transportation companies are offering the Chinese cheap rates of transportation to bring them to France. About 1,000 young Chinese are already in France studying the modern scientific methods of industry, finance, commerce and agriculture. American sympathizers, including Mme. Hughes le Roux, Mrs. Herman Duryea and Mrs. William Astor Chanler, have provided a tent as an organization center for the new arrivals. These Chinese have vowed to live cleanly and frugally and to abstain from gambling and opium smoking. Two eighteen-year-old girls are pioneers of their sex among the students. They arrived clad in tailor-made gowns. Scores more of Chinese girls are expected to follow. Why He Believes in Spirits. Why he believes in spirits The president of Temple university, Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell, of Philadelphia, believes we "are upon the borderland of great discoveries." Dr. Conwell has caused countrywide interest through his statement that he has held verbal communication with the spirit of his wife. Dr. Conwell believes that we are surrounded by an invisible world of spirits which are cognizant of our acts and thoughts and can under certain conditions communicate with us. He withheld his disclosure for years because the whole question has been so beclouded and surrounded with fraud and deception. He says that spiritualism, so called, has been made the tool of conscienceless mediums, faktors and charitans who have exploited themselves to such an extent that it has discouraged serious scientific investigation and called into question the most convincing testimony. He finds references in the Bible which seem to bear out his belief in spiritual care and help from those who have died. Are you wearing a CCC button yet? Why not?

Now, Mr. Member, come out. COMMUNITY SERVICE NOTES. Among the new activities to be instituted in community service, the one anticipated to be of great good in bringing the largest number of people together in brotherly love is that of community singing. There is nothing which will banish care and sorrow so quickly as a rousing good song. Ask the soldier how his long, toilsome hikes were made more endurable by "Pack Up Your Recital by WILLIAM M.

Ask the mother who had a son "over there" how much comfort she got out of "Keep the Home Fires Burning," or "Steal Away to Jesus." If this was true during wartime how much more true should it be now in this period of readjustment for truly "these are the times that try men's souls." In view of these facts community singing will be held every Sunday at 3:30 p. m. at the Community Center, 2420 Lake street, under the direction of Dr. Andrew Singleton. Solos, quartets and readings will form a part of the program. Every one is urged to be present and take part. If you can't sing just come and make a "joyful noise." Thomas W.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

HOLY WEEK. SUNDAY is known throughout the world as Palm Sunday, because it commemorates Christ's entry into Jerusalem, "riding upon a ass and a colt the foal of an ass," while the multitudes, believing that He was coming to restore Israel's pristine glory, went before Him waving palm branches and strewed the road way with palms and flowers. It is the beginning of Holy Week, which commemorates the Saviour's "last week" on earth, as it is known before His crucifixion and resurrection. It is therefore kept with great salemnity throughout Christendom. People who may have been more or less indifferent as to keeping Lent, generally observe Holy Week. Those who have tried it and can speak from experience tell us that the joys of Easter Day are heightened by a faithful observance of Holy Week the events of which have wrought such wonderful blessings in the religious experience of mankind. OUR SENTIMENTS EXACTLY. THERE has just come to our desk the January-February number of The Triangle, "a militnat monthly magazine of opinion," published at Newport, R. I., by W. James Lucas, It is a well-edited and neat publication evidently with purpose and plenty of pep. The magazine was formerly known as "The Negro Churchman." One of its editors captioned "Our New Name" frankly tells the principles for which The Triangle stands. Readers of The Monitor hardly need to be advised that we stand upon the same platform of principles as The Triangle and most heartily endorse what it so well states in the following words: "This name suits our principle, policy, and practice, and will, we hope, meet with the approval of all rightly "radical" thinkers among the world's darker races, at least. The object of our fight is triangular in scope. It is an isosecles triangle, the sides of which are liberty, justice and equality. For these three we are fighting. We want liberty of both body and soul; we want justice before the law of the land; we want equality—equality of every kind that tends to make men without a badge of inferiority. Where there is no liberty, there need be no life; where there is no justice, there is also no liberty; where there is no equality, there will of necessity be no justice; for it is not in man to accord justice to an inferior. Thus do these three constitute the one great whole of the welfare of men. Rlots, segregation, Jim crowism, and lynching, are one and all the venomous brood of the serpent of inequality that leaves its silmy trail throughout the length and breadth of this nation. It takes all of these to make men. We would be men, that's all." These are our sentiments exactly. If this be "radicalism" then we are radicals, and our numbers are rapidly multiplying throughout the nation. WE do not know who at The Bee office replied to Mrs. Crawford's courteous inquiry. Whoever it was made a great mistake. The Bee has published pictures of colored graduates with groups before and the group has not been spoiled. Insults of this character will not restore The Bee to popular favor. The omission of Mr. Crawford's picture from the group of his classmates would not have been regarded as serious had it been by mistake, but when it was admittedly by design and for the reason stated it becomes an insult to be indignantly resented. The Monitor on behalf of its constituents resents it and believes that an apology should be promptly made. AN INSULT. WELCOME, WILLIAM PICKENS. DEAN Pickens, for this is the name that will always cling to him because of his splendid work as dean of Morgan college, will be in Omaha Monday night and will speak under the auspices of the Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It will be his first appearance in our city and The Monitor predicts that he will speak to a capacity house. Some months ago while passing through Omaha, Dean Pickens said to the editor that he considered the work of the N. A. A. C. P. of such tremendous importance that he would like to devote several months each year speaking in its interest and helping to organize branches. The wish then expressed was soon to be realized; for it was not long before he was tendered the position of assistant field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and resigning his position at Morgan college, accepted. Monitor readers will recall our editorial on Dean Pickens at that time. He is a polished, forcible and convincing speaker of national reputation. The organization which he represents is one that should enlist the active support, sympathy and membership of all red-blooded Americans who believe in justice to all men for it is for these principles that the N. A. A. C. P. uncompromisingly stands. The Monitor bids William Pickens cordial welcome to Omaha and bespeaks for him a respectful hearing and record-breaking audience next Monday night. A CHILD RACE OURS is frequently spoken of rather apologetically, as "the child race." In many thing it is true, we have the characteristics of children. One childlike characteristic which we hope our race will never lose is the disposition not to cherish malice or hatred. Children have their quarrels, soon forget them and play happily together. They do not cherish hatred. May we always have this childlike characteristic. Some call it a manifestation of weakness. Not so, it is a sublime manifestation of moral strength. Cultivate it. PERSHING AS A NEBRASKAN. DON'T it make you smile to see how Pershing's campaign managers, which, by the way, seem to be confined to Lincoln, are stressing the fact that he is a Nebraska? It is funny. General Pershing, who was born and reared in Missouri, spent three years as commandant of cadets at the University of Nebraska, where he also took a course in law. A few months ago, less than six, he decided to take up his residence in Nebraska and purchased a home in Lincoln. The Monitor is very pleased indeed, that General Pershing has become a resident of Nebraska and hopes that he will have a long, happy and prosperous life in this great commonwealth, but when it comes to stressing the fact that his short residence in Nebraska entitles him to the support of Nebraskans we believe that his political managers are trying to impose upon the credulity of the citizens of the state. And, by the way, will some of General Pershing's boosters enlighten us on the question of his politics? The World-Herald recently said, "He is so near a democrat that many people are of the opinion that he is. A rather significant statement from such a conservative source as the World Herald. The Monitor is of the opinion that Pershing's "republicanism" is of a piece with "his long residence in Nebraska." THE MONITOR TAKING The Monitor's advice several of our people have filed for elective positions and are going to make the race. To set the example, at the solicitation of friends, the editor of The Monitor has filed for district delegate to the republican national convention. As previously announced Amos P. Scruggs has filed for public defender. Two have filed for the legislature, F. L. Barnett and M. F. Singleton. Others have filed for members of the Douglas county central committee. We are entering the game right and uniting our strength some if not all will win. Amid the hurly-hurly of labor troubles and the tribulations of the trusts the world has little time to recognize the merit of those gentle souls who are making the world better in the humble walks of life. Among these the workingman's wife exerts an influence for good that is more far-reaching than that of presidents and kings and legislators of captains of industry and philanthropic millionaires and of others. In her keeping are the characters of the future citizens and the wives of the future citizens of the country. From busy morn till weary night she looks after the comfort of the household—cheerfully if she has half a chance—and with anxious care strives to shield her sons and daughters from evil influence and perfect them in the ways of decent and honorable manhood and womanhood. She has little time to worry about facial wrinkles and the arrival of the first gray hair. The vanity of women becomes in her a self-sacrificing pride in the moral and mental growth of her children. If she ever does wrong, loses control of her temper or has a dash of vinegar in her speech and action, the chances are that the neglect of her helpmate is to blame. But even when she is soured by ill-usage and the cares of poverty, beneath the surface the current of womanly emotion still runs pure and deep and strong. In time the hard conditions of life may cause her to shrink from disclosing little vanities which soften the radiant charm of womanhood as the down softens the blush of the peach. Yet a kind act, the merest trifling bit of praise, may lure them forth again to give the lie to the wrinkles on the brow, the bitter word and the world-weary look. The workingman who has always known these things. or, having forgotten, has learned them again is blessed indeed. His lot may sometimes be hard and he may feel that he has good cause to envy those who revel in luxury, and yet he is continually thankful that he possesses a treasure which gold can never buy. Heaven bless the workingman's wife!—The Butcher Workmen Advocate. WOOD "LOGICAL" CANDIDATE FOR COLORED AMERICANS Indianapolis, Ind.. March 23. Among the rank and file of the people the question is being asked: "How can we support anyone but Leonard Wood? He is right on the race question—as was said in the motion made before the colored voters of Indiana assembled in Indianapolis by Attorney Tidrigton, grand 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."

SAMPLE-HART MOTOR CO. 100% Ford Service 18th and Burt Streets OMAHA ENTERING THE GAME LEADING EDITORIALS. WORKMEN'S WIVES. By Edgar G. Brown. chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and seconded by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert L. Brokenburr, "We, the colored voters of Indiana, are for General Wood first, last and all the time primarily because he has the courage to champion the rights of truly 100 per cent American citizens, the American Negroes." Mr. Tidrington headed the delegation from Indiana to the Lincoln league and was one of those present who had had a chance to compare Governor Lowden and General Wood. It is significant that Mr. Tidrington pointed out that what we need today is a military man to stamp out mob violence and lynching and a man whose words are respected like Theodore Roosevelt's and the good general's own words at Gary and Omaha when he said, "The rights of all must be protected." And now following the rejection of Governor Lowden by the colored republicans of Missouri assembled in St. Louis because of his attitude toward the East St. Louis riot and his misleading statements of the Chicago riot, the colored republicans in Ohio have taken up arms against Senator Harding under the fearless leadership of Honorable Ralph Tyler because he refused to recognize 150,000 colored voters by refusing them a delegate to the Chicago convention and Senator Harding returned last week from Texas where he went on the invitation of the "illy whites." General Wood true to his record left a place open for a colored delegate. Here is General Wood's statement, "I know no American by his color." "A vote for Wood means a vote for the race," was adopted for the Indiana slogan at the primaries. A man who is faithful and honest, Cares not for the cowardly pack, Who, bitten by malice and envy, In spite of their tricks will prevail Over all of his crooked accusers Who, slowly but surely, will fall. A man meets his foe in the open And isn't afraid of a fight, Regardless of size or of muscle As long as his quarrel is right. But the thing only man in appearance, Who hasn't that God-given spark, Talks peace to his foes in the daylight, But secretly strikes in the dark. Yea, he who would work in the shadow Plays a serpent's and not a man's part. While he's worth his salt will say nothing, Unless it is right from the heart. So play the game "straight from the shoulder" And not like the lowest of swine Who scatter their hair under cover And in jackal-like ways undermine —Andrea Razakeriefo. SCRUGGS FOR PUBLIC DEFENDER. Amos P. Scruggs has filed for public defender. He is a lawyer big enough to handle this job. The Monitor urges our people to rally to his support. We can nominate him at the primaries and elect him if we will stand unitedly behind him. Begin now boosting for Scruggs and put him across. We can do it. Let's all get busy and do it. The Monitor is glad that Mr. Scruggs has filed. We hope some competent man will file for the legislature. Let's get into the game right. rd ERSAL CAR LESS THAN MEN.

Cannon of St. Paul, Minn., a former well known Omaha resident, arrived in the city Wednesday morning en route home from an extensive two months' business and pleasure trip through the east and south.

They are from the World-Herald and Bee. "They are the pictures of the graduates from the Omaha High School of Commerce. The World-Herald contains the picture of Dillard Crawford, the Bee does not. On the clipping from the Bee is penciled this pertinent question: "Why the omission of one face from your republican paper?" CAMP FIRE NOTES. The Camp Fire Girls of Omaha celebrated their birthday with a pageant and council fire at the Brandeir theater Saturday afternoon. The pageant showed in a colorful way the development of the United States from the time of the Indians until now. The opening scene of the Indians was acted by Group Ocowasin and pleased the entire audience. Audra Trueheart was the chief and Beatrice Black the chieftess. Their guardian, Mrs. Larry Peoples took the torch bearers rank in the council fire. This is the highest rank for Camp Fire Girls. We hope more girls will take an interest in Camp Fire work. WOMAN BEYOND CENTURY MARK IS DEAD Mrs. Lucy Payne, a resident of Omaha for nearly fifty years, and believed to be 108 years old, died at the county hospital last Monday, and was buried Wednesday afternoon from Johnson and Swanson chapel. The Rev. John Albert Williams officiated. Interment was in Forest Lawn cemetery. Many of the old residents remember Mrs. Payne for her skill as a nurse and her general kindness and good-heartedness. She is survived by two daughters and other relatives. A NEW COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER George H. W. Bullock Comes From St. Louis to Succeed Mr. Moten. Community service has demonstrated its usefulness here and there is no doubt that the citizens will see to it that it is continued and adequately supported. Mr. W. C. Moten, who did excellent work and relinquished it to go to St. Louis where his family is, has been replaced by Mr. George W. Bullock, who comes from St. Louis where he has done efficient work for several months. Mr. Bullock, who is a native of Philadelphia, is a graduate of Lincoln university, Chester, Pa., and took studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He studied for two years at the General Theological seminary, New York city, and at the outbreak of the war served as a Y. M. C. A. secretary for eighteen months, going later into war camp community service, which has now become community service incorporated. He has entered upon his work here with zeal and is a valuable asset to the community.

This company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nebraska, and has received permission from the bureau of securities to sell $100,000 worth of its capital stock. this case, and make it successful from the beginning. Through a company of this character we can combine our small capital and create something. For, as has been truthfully said many times, the way to get clerks in stores is to combine your small funds and open stores; the way to give employment to colored young men and women is to create something where they may be The company has signed an option contract to purchase the business block at 1516-1518 North Twenty-fourth street, in which to open a department store. The present plan contemplates that the store will be opened as soon as possession can be obtained, and the necessary remodeling is finished, which we expect to be by June 1, 1920, if not earlier. Only six hundred and twenty persons can purchase stock in the company. Stock has already been reserved for 170 persons, leaving the number of 450. No person can purchase more than five shares of stock nor less than one share. The stock is $100 per share, and may be purchased by a payment of 10 per cent when the subscription contract is signed, and $10 or more per month until the stock is paid for. The money paid for the stock shall be applied on the purchase price of the building and paid for stock which shall be sold in the store, making due allowance for expenses allowed by law in companies of this characters. In this way, the company will have real value back of every certificate of stock it issues. One of the reasons for forming a company of this character was not only to get into the commercial world, but to get in there to stay. There will be 620 persons financially interested in the enterprise, which will mean, including their families, that there will be 1,800 persons who will buy from the store. The average daily expenditure for each person will be, for food and clothing, about $1, or a gross income from the owners of the store of $1,800 per day. This alone assures the success of the enterprise, but we will also sell to the whole public, which, added to the certain income, will make big business, near or not quite $1,000,000 per year gross. This, of course, depends upon efficient management. The company is engaging a general manager for this enterprise who has had fifteen years of successful experience in the mercantile business. It is also joining a central buying agency in order that its stock may be purchased at the lowest figure obtainable, which will enable it to sell at a correspondingly reasonable one. Another feature about his company is that all employees in permanent grades shall be stockholders; they will not be working for the company alone, but for themselves as well. In so far as it has been possible to provide against untoward contingencies, provision has been made and the officers and members of this company confidently assert that the success of the enterprise is not only assured, but that it will surpass the expectations of the most sanguine persons. From the very start, the store will give employment to from thirty to forty young women and young men. Applications for positions will be received just as soon as it is announced that the general manager has arrived and assumed his duties. The reason for organizing this company is obvious. Colored people must enter the higher forms of modern business, just as other races have been doing for hundreds and thousands of years, and they must take the best features of business organization, as this company has done in The temporary office of the company is at No. 19 Patterson Block, Douglas 3954, where the secretary will be glad to see any one who wishes further information about this undertaking. The officers of this company are: John W. Gordon, president; Samuel W. Mills, treasurer; Jackson Davis, vice president; Z. C. Snowden, secretary; Walter Webber is chairman of the board of directors—Adv. CHEF MUSICAL GENIUS. Mr. James S. Thomas of Chicago, Ill., after spending two years in the government service as chef for the regional directors of all the S. E. railroads, U. S. R. R. A., has been transferred to the Union Pacific railroad as chef of the president's car. Mr. Thomas may well be considered a musical genius, he having shown marked ability in the invention and manufacture of fourteen different musical instruments, one of which is made from one of his hats and all of which he plays. The public may soon have the opportunity of hearing this musician whose pleasure it has been to serve so many audiences and often without compensation.

The pastor is being assisted by Dr. G. L. Prince of St. Joseph, Mo. Since he has been in our midst he has won the hearts of all who have been fortunate enough to hear him. To hear him is to honor him for his truthfulness, his honesty and his uncompromising sense of right. Come out and hear him—though he may have the most rigid sense of justice, purity and integrity, on the other hand that he has a kind word and a genuine sympathy for even the most hard-hearted sinner.

Every child has the inanlenable right to be loved; to have its individuality respected; to be trained wisely in mind, body and soul; to be protected from disease, from evil influences and evil persons and to have a fair chance in life. Inanimate in deinquent which does not ceaselessly strive to secure these inanlenable rights to its children.—Indiana's Child Creed. This is the time of year when rich cakes like fruit cakes and puddings made of suet and fruit are most enjoyed. With butter and eggs at such prices, most housewives will curtail the rich cake making. Fruit Cake.—Take one pound each of butter and sugar, twelve eggs, one cupful of New Or- fee infusion, one pound of flour browned to a medium brown, two pounds of seeded raisins, two pounds of currants or sultana raisins, one pound of candied cherries, one pound of citron, sliced very thin, two tablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon, one tablespoonful of cloves, one small nutmeg grated, and one teaspoonful of black pepper. Add one teaspoonful of soda to the molasses. Add more flour if needed and use it unbrowned. Mix and bake in a slow oven. Apricot Jam (Imitation)—Scrape and slice very thin a pound of carrots. Cover with a quart of water and boll till tender. Drain well and run through the meat chopper. Set in a cool place over night. In the morning add to three cupfuls of carrots, the juice and grated yellow rind of two lemons, four cupfuls of sugar, and two dozen blanched almonds cut fine. Let stand until the sugar is dissolved. Stir well and simmer slowly till the mass is smooth and thick. Add as little water as possible. Add a few drops of almond and put into jelly glasses. Ginger Cream.—Make a custard of the yolks of four eggs and the whites of two, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of preserved ginger syrup, and one pint of milk. Just before the custard is done add enough gelatine to slightly thicken and let it completely dissolve. As soon as the custard coats the spoon set the dish in cold water to arrest the cooking. Turn into molds. Sprinkle each mold with preserved ginger. Neele Maxwell Why Romans Honor Cornelia. Why Romanus prior Cornelia. "All men rule over women; we Romanus rule over all men, and our wives rule over us," said Cato, the censor, when he had an attack of nerves. Among notable Roman women the mind flits—fascinated—from Lucreti to Cornelia, and lingers with wonder at the name of Messalina. Cornelia lived in the days of the Roman republic. Daughter of Scipio Africanus, conqueror of Hannibal, she inherited the stern virtues of her father. Married in 69 B. C. to Sempernius Gracchus, she was left a widow with 12 children. Only two survived their youth, two sons, Tiberius and Calus. She devoted herself exclusively to their education, and in after days these distinguished orators and statesmen avowed they owed everything to their mother. She declined the suit of King Ptolemy of Egypt. All her magnificent powers and learning were consecrated to the two boys.
