DISTINGUISHED YALE ALUMNUS GIVES MESSAGE Pleads for Co-operation and Understanding Between Races—Both Groups Must Work Sympathetically Together—Neither Can Solve Problem Alone. "NEITHER race can solve America's great problem alone," declared William Pickens, assistant field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, before an audience which taxed the capacity of St. John's A. M. E. church Monday night. Mr. Pickens spoke under the auspices of the local branch of the association. Mrs. Jessie Hale Moss, president, presided and introduced Elmer Thomas, a Yale alumnus who, in turn, introduced his distinguished fellow alumnus William Pickens of whose ca- reer, said Mr. Thomas in his splendid personal tribute, "Yale is eminently proud, for none of her distinguished sons has rendered better service to humanity or sustained the scholarly traditions of his alma mater than has Dean Pickens, the story of whose career reads like a romance." "The better class of both races must deliberately and consciously seek out co-operation and acquaintanceship with each other's aspirations, needs and worth. Interracial committees should exist wherever there is an appreciable number of colored people to promote interracial amity. "And any organized effort to affect the race problem must be along the lines of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—that is, it must consist of both white and colored men deliberately pursuing this solution. Neither race can settle the matter alone. The white man has already failed in that method; the Negro need not try it. "There is no knowledge superior to that of personal experience in the matter of knowing other people. When the white man of America knows the black man of America even as well as the black people know the white people in this country, there will be much less difference of opinion and danger of trouble between the races." Speaking of crime reporting in newspapers, the speaker said, "It is absolutely wrong to repeat that a Negro did a crime, for a Negro didn't do it—a criminal did it, who was incidentally a Negro. If we put the word white before every crime committed by a white man it wouldn't be long before the word white would be blacker than the word black and if each time a red haired person committed a crime it was announced 'a red haired bandit,' it wouldn't be long before little children would be running away from red headed people." "We can say what we like about not being influenced but every single thing we read or hear has some effect upon us and the association of ideas is one of the strongest influences," he said. Go to th THE MONITOR MILITARY MEN HAVE MADE GOOD PRESIDENTS (Special to The Monitor.) Chicago, Ill., April 1.—Thirteen out of twenty-five men who made good presidents of the United States had seen active military service—Washington, Jackson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Pierce, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt," said Mrs. Benjamin Arthur Fessenden, chairman of the women's Wood committee in Highland Park, Ill., recently. (By Edward M. Thierry, With Smithsonian-Universal African Expedition.) Johannesburg-Capital in South Africa either is so lucky in dealing with labor that it doesn't need brains, or else so brainy it doesn't need luck. With the rest of the world stewing in labor troubles, South Africa has industrial peace. Big industry, of which gold mining and diamond mining are greatest, have been practically untouched by labor unrest. What would you do, Mr. Employer, if you had 900 employees and you only had to pay 100 of them an average of $7.50 a day and the other 800 only had to be paid 50 to 75 cents a day and provided with food and lodging, costing only 12 to 15 cents a day? That's the labor situation in South Africa. Yet capital is gloomy. Most of the agitation now going on comes, not from labor, but from capital. There has been a government inquiry into the low grade mine labor question. Mine owners, pleading that the cost of gold production in low grade mines yielding a low percentage of gold per ton has gone up so high, are trying to have the color bar lifted. The color bar is a law prohibiting natives as foremen in mines or jobs requiring skill. The white man in the mines owes his position to monopoly. His task is to direct the labor of his gang of natives who are debarred by law from competing with him, however capable they may be—and sometimes are. While trouble does not appear imminent, South African students of situation declare that the artificial position created by the fact that the color of a man's skin and not his efficiency decides whether he shall be paid $7.50 a day—even as high as $15 a day—or half a dollar a day with meager food and lodging, is a condition that cannot be permanent. Mine operators want to raise the color bar, but they don't think much of the idea of raising the natives to the white wage standard. Capital, in support of the latter contention, points to a report of the economic commission that with pay at only $3.75 a day, 41 out of 52 gold mines would have to shut down and the remaining 11 would operate at very reduced profits. COLORED OFFICER FOR WOOD. He Intends to Form Clubs for the General Among People of Iowa. Kansas City, Mo., March 30. Among the twenty-five Wood followers who applied yesterday at headquarters of the Wood-for-President club in the Glendale building for membership was Captain W. W. Russell, a Negro, who was commissioned at the Panama Canal zone in the administration of President Wood. He is a graduate of Columbia university and the Boston Institute of Technology. During the war he was connected with various Negro welfare organizations. He is an admirer of Roosevelt, and he believes Roosevelt would have indorsed General Wood. He not only intends to vote for the general, but will leave tomorrow for Iowa, where he will devote most of his time to the organization of Wood-for-President clubs among the Negro population. Prisoners Mutiny at Treatment of Women Brutal Deputies Beat and Kick Female Prisoners—Precipitates Riot in Parish Jail—Men Refuse to Work—Eighteen-Year-Old Boy Shot Down With Riot Gun by Warden, Who Says He Did Not Know It Was Loaded—Trouble Long Brewing—Cruel Beatings Alleged to Have Caused Revolt GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES OF DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS NEW ORLEANS, March 30.—That a new spirit is manifesting itself among the men of this section, even among those who have been unfortunate enough to fall or be placed among the criminal classes, for it must be borne in mind that in this section that petty theft and mere street brawls in which Negroes are frequently implicated are magnified into felonies, is shown by a recent jail riot here. Frequent rumors have reached the outside that Negro prisoners of both sexes are victims of unbelievable brutality at the hands of guards and deputies. Male prisoners have been growing sullen under this treatment. Matters, however, reached a climax March 19 when screams of terror and pain coming from the women's quarters reached the ears of the men. The women, too, goaded to desperation, turned upon the jailers. Men mutinied and the warden shot an eighteen-year-old boy, Willis Payne, who is alleged to have been leader. Here is the story as published by The New Orleans Item: Shot down in the yard of the parish prison by Captain Richard Meredith, warden, Willis Payne, 18, of Clio and Willow streets, a Negro serving time for the theft of a shirt, is close to death in Charity hospital. Payne was shot at 9:20 a.m. His left arm is riddled below the elbow with buckshot from a riot gun, and several of the big plugs pierced his stomach. The scene in the parish prison following the shooting was a raving, fighting, kicking, scratching, biting chaos as Negro men and women were herded from their open prison yards into their cells by deputies with sticks. were greeted by a volley of horrible curses, while the maddened Negresses hurled cans, pails, sticks and even tore a big iron manhole-cover loose in an effort to make a missile of it. Here it was that Captain Meredith received the cut on his right temple from a hurled shoe. Another shoe heel hit Deputy Dan Donnelly on the head. "They treat us like dogs! They beat us like dogs!" screamed the maddened Negresses. Up the stairs they were herded by pushing deputies. One mulatto girl tore down her blouse. Across her left shoulder was a long cut. "Look what they do A strike by the male Negro prisoners, who riotously refused to take up their morning task of swabbing out the prison started the affray, said Captain Meredith. This Friday morning's strike had been preceded by hours of frantic riotousness by the Negro prisoners, he said. Conflicting stories are told by the Negroes in the parish prison. Some of the prisoners assert that their strike against cleaning the prison on Friday morning, after a night of screaming and battering at cell doors, was as a protest against deputies beating and maltreating the Negresses in prison. They say that the Negro men in the yard were seeking to escape when Captain Meredith fired the shot that riddled Payne. Two trusties, Negro prisoners both, deny this. They say that Payne, stick in hand, struck at Captain Meredith, and that the blow by Payne discharged the gun that shot him. They say they "don't know nothin' bout women bein' beat up." Negrens Hurls Shoe at Warden. "The deputies telephoned me at my house early this morning and told me the Negroes had taken charge of the jail," said Captain Meredith. His right temple was streaming with blood from a cut where a frenzied Negress had hurled her shoe and the heel of it had crashed against his head. "I came down at once. The Negroes were shouting and yelling in the yard. I took up a riot gun. On the level, I didn't know it was loaded. I simply took it to bluff them back into their cells. "When I got out in the yard the Negroes were all bunched up and raving. Eight of them started toward me, this Willis Payne boy in the lead. They had sticks in their hands. I raised the gun and they still came on. And the gun went off. I didn't know it was loaded." As Payne, riddled with buckshot, fell to the ground of the yard, deputies herded the Negro men up into their cells. Payne was picked up and taken to the Charity hospital. He has little chance to survive, say the doctors there. Madness Reigns in Jail. The parish prison "wireless" sped the news to the yard where the Negro women prisoners were grouped. Like a flash the enclosure became a raving pandemonium. Captain Meredith and eight deputies went into the yard, sticks in hand, to herd the Negresses into their cells. They were greeted by a volley of horrible curses, while the maddened Negresses hurled cans, pails, sticks and even tore a big iron manhole-cover loose in an effort to make a missile of it. Here it was that Captain Meredith received the cut on his right temple from a hurled shoe. Another shoe heel hit Deputy Dan Donnelly on the head. "They treat us like dogs! They beat us like dogs!" screamed the maddened Negresses. Up the stairs they were herded by pushing deputies. One mulatto girl tore down her blouse. Across her left shoulder was a long cut. "Look what they do to us!" she cried. "That deputy, Dimmings, did that to me last night!" Incoherent screams of rage arose from the raving huddle of forty Negresses. Grand Jury to Probe. Grand Jury to Probe His wound given first aid dressing, Captain Meredith rushed to the office of District Attorney Chandler Luzenberg. There he told the story. Mr. Luzenberg said that he would lay the whole afairst before the Orleans parish grand jury, in session today. Captain Meredith, deputies and the prisoners themselves will be brought before the grand jury as witnesses. "We've been having hell with them for days," said Captain Meredith. "They seem to have gone crazy, especially the Negroes. Last night Deputy John Demmings was attacked when he went into the Negro women's quarters, and was beaten up before he could get out. The white prisoners, too, have been surly, though they haven't gone to the length that the Negroes have." Rebellion Rife Several Days. The parish prison has undeniably been the scene of riotous rebellion during the past few days and nights, according to the tale told by police reporters and deputies. Shouts and screams have echoed from the walls. Prisoners have grasped the bars of their cell doors and clashed them for hours, while shrieks swept through the corridors. The whole prison was in such a state of hysterical frenzy on Friday morning that no coherent word could be obtained from the prisoners to tell the reason for the outbreak. Tales of Cause Conflict. A swift tour of the parish prison by an item reporter brought from the Negroes themselves widely divergent statements. Some of the Negroes assert the strike was as a protest to the beating and maltreatment of Negro women prisoners by deputies. Others say they know of no such beatings. Two trustees say that Willis Payne, striking at Captain Meredith with a stick, hit the gun Meredith carried and caused its discharge. This story other Negroes, claiming to be eye-witnesses, deny. They say Payne was turning to run without striking a blow, when Meredith shot him. Alex Johnson, Negro, of 819 St. Philip street, in prison on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, says that at 9 p. m. Thursday he heard (Continued on Page Two.) ARKANSAS MEN ORGANIZE TO PREVENT RACE CONFLICTS Arkadelphia, Ark., March 30.—Race leaders of Arkadelphia have organized an association which has for its purpose the quelling of race trouble and the prevention of crime. It is called the Colored Business Men's League. Fourteen charter members were admitted at the first meeting. The league will meet once monthly and reports will be made any brewing disturbances of any nature. The influence of the league will be used to stop trouble in its inception. OHIO PUBLICATIONS LINE UP FOR LEONARD WOOD Women Flocking to the General's Standard—"Country Needs Another Abraham Lincoln" Says Prominent Worker. (Special to The Monitor) Columbus, Ohio, March 31.—Resenting the treatment accorded the colored voters of the state by the Harding management, two other publications in the interest of the colored race have fallen in line for General Wood for president. They are the Cleveland Advocate and the Ohio State Monitor, Columbus, both of which praise the fitness of Wood and condemn the Harding-Daugherty method of hand-picking delegates, ignoring the rights of 150,000 colored voters in Ohio. The treatment of F. D. Patterson, Greenfield, colored candidate for delegate-at-large, by the Harding managers, first refusing him consent to run and then in forcing him off the ballot, is strongly denounced. In most Ohio cities the colored voters are voluntarily organizing their own forces in behalf of Wood, it is said at state headquarters. Mrs. John H. Arnold, wife of the former lieutenant governor, has accp ted the state chairmanship of the Ohio woman's Leonard Wood committee and will have headquarters at the Neil house. 'General Wood stands for the thing I believe in. That's a woman's reason. He stands for the best things for the people. This is a crucial period in our national life. We need another Abraham Lincoln. WOOD'S VICTORY IN MINNESOTA PRIMARY Minnesota—The victory of General Wood by the republican presidential primary in Minnesota assuring him a big majority of the twenty-four delegates from that state to the coliseum convention in June was the signal for jubilant expressions at the Wood head quarters in the Congress hotel. At the Lowden headquarters the Minnesota jolt brought dismay. Because the state was the place of Lowden's birth, the governor made a "native son" campaign here. His supporters had been led to believe that he was strong enough to endanger General Wood's commanding place as the leader. YOUTH NAMED FOR WEST POINT Chicago, Ill.. March 30.—Congressman Dyer has recommended Richard Jackson, a graduate of Summer High school for West Point military school. Jackson is only 19 years of age and has made a very creditable record at Summer High and friends have used every influence possible to get the recommendation. People will recall that it was Congressman Dyer who introduced a bill that would make lynching a federal offense. SAYS FRANCE ABANDONS RUHR OCCUPATION PLAN Berlin, March 30.—France has abandoned her demand to occupy the neutral zone and has consented to grant Germany from two to three weeks to employ a strong force in the disturbed Ruhr area, according to an announcement made to the national assembly today by Chancellor Mueller.

FARMERS' ORGANIZED AGAINST EXPLOITATION Employed Counsel to Secure Legal Redress Against Wholesale Robbery Under Crop System—Hill Active in Trying to Obtain Justice From Predatory Planters. TOPEKA. Kans., April 1.—Governor Henry J. Allen announced Tuesday that he would deny the requisition of Governor Brough of Arkansas to return Robert Hill, wanted by the state of Arkansas on a charge of having incited the race riots that occurred there last September. Immediately upon the announcement, Colonel R. Neill Rahn, deputy United States marshal, took Hill into custody on a federal warrant charging him with impersonating a government officer. Attorney General Arbuckle of Little Rock introduced evidence to show that the Negroes in the riot district accused Hill of starting the trouble and of urging them to arm themselves for trouble. Army officers had testified Negroes told them Hill had caused them to join the Progressive Farmers' and Householders' union, and had urged them to arm for trouble. The attorneys for the defense contended that the Negroes were forced to give false testimony by being placed in electric chairs, lashed and otherwise tortured. Hill said he was aiding a Little Rock lawyer to get Negro clients, who were dissatisfied with the settlements given them by the planters, when white men came up and took charge of the Little Rock lawyer. He testified that he escaped and, when told of the riots at Hoospur, he decided at once to come to Kansas because he believed Kansas would furnish him the best refuge. Evidence was introduced by Arbuckle to show that Hill had stationery and a badge indicating him to be a United States detective. Immediately upon being taken into custody by federal officers, Hill was taken before United States Commissioner White here, where an application was made to Judge Pollock to have him removed to Little Rock and placed under the jurisdiction of the Arkansas division of the United States district court. ASSEMBLYMAN WOULD PROTECT INSTALMENT PLAN PURCHASERS One of the Colored Members of Empire State Legislature Introduces Important Bill. Albany, N. Y., April 1.—Assemblyman J. S. Hawkins of Harlem has offered in the assembly an amendment to the personal property law in relation to the conditional sale and retaking of household furniture, which is of particular interest to housewives who purchase furniture on the instalment plan. The new section reads in part as follows: Whenever household furniture shall be sold on the instalment plan, the vendor shall deliver to the vendee at the time of making such agreement true copies of all contracts, notes or other written evidence of such agreement. No vendor shall retake by replevin or otherwise any furniture after the vendee has paid a sum equal to 60 per cent of the purchase price. MAJOR LYNCH TOURS SOUTH. Chicago, Ill., April 1.—Ex-Congressman John R. Lynch, who is now a resident of this city, attended the state republican convention in Jackson, Miss., on April 1 in the interest of the candidacy of General Wood. He will extend his trip to other sections in the south.

Central City, Neb. — The state checker tournament, which opened “Our government must be put on a budget system.

New York - Brooklyn - Chicago BISHOP SHAYLER CONFIRMS FIRST CLASS AT ST. PHILIP'S Large Congregation Fills Church— Service Impressive—Bishop of Nebraska Preaches Eloquent Sermon and Makes Profound Impression. THE Rt. Rev. Ernest Vincent Shayler, D. D., bishop of Nebraska, made his first official visit for confirmation to the church of St. Philip the Deacon Sunday afternoon, confirming a class of fourteen children and adults and preached an eloquent sermon which made a profound impression upon the large congregation which filled the church. The class which was composed of eleven girls and women dressed in white and wearing their white confirmation veils, and three men, presented a beautiful and impressive sight as they marched in with the choir and knelt at the chancel rail, where, after the customary questions and the singing of the ::Veni, Creator, Spiritus," came the imposition of the bishop's hands. Bishop Shayler then briefly addressed the class and gave them as their confirmation motto the words "Thine Forever." After a hymn he preached on "The Driving Out of the Evil Spirit," applying this thought to the national life, where evil looms so large and then to the individual life, stressing the fact that only the spirit of Christ can save the nation or individual. Those confirmed were: Della Louise Howard, Ernestine Evelyn Singleton, Grace Dorsey, Lucille Bivens, Sybil Merrifield, Lenore Hieronymous, Vinnie Florence Hieronymous, Eleanor C. Haynes, Jennie Merrifield, Eunice Earl Smith, Mary Clyde Schwein, Alonzo O. Gregory, Alonzo Merrifield, Leon Victor Williams. GIRL, WHILE SLEEPING.

Last Thursday night St. Philip's Episcopal church was entered by burglar, who carried away altar hangings, vestments, altar linens, altar vases, choir vestments and communion vessels which it will take between $400 and $500 to replace. The opinion is that a "dope fiend" or some similar degenerate did the job, because most of the things stolen while of great value to the church would be of no value to any one else. Detectives got busy on the job as soon as the case was reported, but as yet have gotten no trace of the stolen articles. As soon as it was known Dean Tancock of Trinity Cathedral, Father Holsapple of St. Barnabas, Father Brown of St. Martins and other clergy of the city-called up Father Williams and generously placed at the disposal of St. Philip's for temporary use such things as might be needed for carrying on the services. Reading of the loss in the Omaha Bee, H. Gross, a Jewish friend, came to St. Philip's rectory and left a gift of $10 "to help out a little" as he expressed it. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. This is to certify that William Norris Moore, who departed this life a few weeks ago was a member in good standing at the time of his death of Excelsior Masonic lodge, No. 110, of which he had been a member for seventeen years; of Eureka Chapter No. 33 and of the Commandery. It was his request that his life long friend, Silas Johnson, the undertaker, take charge of his remains at his demise, which dying request I believed it to be my duty to respect. MRS. W. N. MOORE.

THE MONITOR WILLIAM PICKENS Associate Field Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. William Pickens, associate field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was born in Anderson county, S. C. His parents moved to Arkansas in 1888. He was graduated from the Union high school, of Little Rock, in 1899, as valedictorian of his class. In 1902 he was graduated from Talladega college, in Alabama, with the degree of A.B., and was graduated from Yale university in 1904 with the degree of A.B. the Phi Beta Kappa Key, and in the highest group of the class. In 1906 he received a diploma from the British Esperanto Association for proficiency in that language. He also received the following degrees: A.M., Fisk university, 1908; Litt. D., Selma university, 1915; L.L.D., Wiley university, 1918. Mr. Pickens was teacher of foreign languages at Talladega college from 1904 until 1914. He was head of the department of Greek and Sociology in Wiley university from 1914 until 1915. He became dean of Morgan college in Baltimore in 1915, and vice president of the college in 1918. On February 1, 1920, he resigned that position to take up work with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In 1913 he traveled through Great Britain and continental Europe, and wrote a serial of thirty-seven articles on the arts and sights of the Old World. Mr. Pickens is the author of "The VOTE FOR L. N.

EASTER EASTER has been called "the queen of Christian festivals." Its dominant note is one of triumph. It sings a paen of victory. It proclaims an historical fact; one of the best authenticated facts in history. That fact is this: Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and by this proved Himself to be the Son of God with power. And His resurrection has profound meaning for all mankind. It proclaims and establishes the truth that man is immortal; and that he, too, shall rise from the dead. "Resurgam," I shall rise again. "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" Life triumphant over death is the message which fills the hearts of men with joy and gladness at Eastertide. For the truth that Easter proclaims should not men everywhere strive to show their gratitude by living lives worthy of Him who has brought life and immortality to light? Should we not give Him glad welcome in our hearts that through the strength which He alone can impart we may all rise to a higher plane of life? If we actually believe in the resurrection, if Easter means what it should to us, it must alter the whole complexion of our lives. "The golden Easter sunlight streaming forth Has driven far the clouds all cold and gray; Still comes to drive away all sin and tear: And open wide your gates, He entereth here." PRESS SOWING DRAGON'S TEETH. WE note with profound regret that local newspapers which have for the past few months refrained from stressing the race of individuals of our group accused of crime, are beginning their former policy. Why, brethren of the press, unless you wilfully and deliberately want to injure our people will you insist upon making prominent the fact that a Negro did this or that? Why not call attention to the crime and not the race of the criminal if incidentally he belongs to the Negro race Black men commit crimes. We do not condone them. We regret and deplore them also. But because white criminals commit crimes we do not charge it up to the whole white race. Why should crimes of individuals, because incidentally they are black, be charged up to a whole race and prejudice and ill-will fomented against this group? It is not fair; it is unjust; and all we ask is fair dealing and justice. The press creates public sentiment. Patriotism and national self-preservation demand that sentiment should be such as to bind all Americans, no matter what their ancestry, more closely together and not estrange them. The press of America must cease sowing dragons' teeth. That is precisely what it is doing by its indefensible and senseless treatment of colored Americans. NEBRASKA FOR WOOD. DESPITE the fact that Pershing managers are doing all in their power to carry Nebraska for him, The Monitor confidently expects to see this state give its preferential vote for Leonard Wood. He is a man whose stalwart Americanism appeals to the people of the west. The people of the country rightly believe that these times demand a man like Leonard Wood as president. THE Kansas City Call, the wide awake paper published by our talented friend, Chester A. Franklin, takes to task the republicans of Kansas City for their failure to even attempt to place a representative of our race on its ticket. Sentiment is strong in the city on the Kaw among our group for an alderman, who could easily be elected. The Call very properly excoriates the cowardice which prevented an effort to secure this recognition. What The Call so well says about the conditions in Kansas City applies equally to the attitude of republicans in this section of the political vineyard. Certain republican leaders confidently expect the loyal support of colored voters, but always deem it "unwise," "untimely" or "inexpedient at this time to have a colored man file for office or put on the ticket." This is the kind of guff they have been handing out to our people since Hector was a pup. Some individuals of our group have supinely acquiesced in this position. Fortunately, however, the masses are getting tired of this kind of business and have determined to enter the game right, win or lose. We are aware of some of the tricks that will be pulled off to prove that the political wise-acres who say colored men cannot be elected is true. We know also that if these republican leaders tote fair and stand by a colored nominee he can be easily elected. The time has come in Omaha as in Kansas City when "the spirit of the race has risen to the place where we are no longer content to pay taxes, bear arms and vote to elect men who think 'the time has not yet come when it is expedient to have Negroes in office.'" To the republicans of this section who talk in this way we desire to commend a well-known Latin phrase, "Verbum sapientibus est satis," which accurately translated means a word to the wise is sufficient but which turned into modern western vernacular means, we are on to your game; no double crossing; toote fair." M. F. SINGLETON FOR LEGISLATURE MILLARD F. Singleton, who has filled for representative, is one of Omaha's oldest and most progressive citizens. He has been a resident of this city for nearly forty years and has always been active in public affairs. He was an alternate delegate to the national republican convention in 1888. For a number of years he was United States storekeeper and has served acceptably and well in other positions. For four years he was justice of the peace. For nearly twenty-five years he held a responsible position with the Cudahy Packing company. Mr. Singleton has a wide and favorable acquaintance throughout the state. He will make an excellent representative. The Monitor knows him intimately, esteems him highly and most heartily endorses his candidacy. TESTING OUR SOLIDARITY. THIS year our people in Omaha and Douglas county have the supreme opportunity of demonstrating our solidarity politically. Several of our people have filed for nomination for various offices. Wether we like them individually or not, we should vote for them. The persons who have filed are competent people, fully capable of discharging the duties of the office to which they aspire. They are men and women of good character. These are the only qualifications that should count, character and competency. Personal likes and dislikes, if we have any, should be forgotten and we should vote to a man and woman for every one of our THE MONITOR candidates in the field. Now is the time for testing and proving our solidarity. Vote for your own candidates FIRST. Be sure to do this. This is a testing time. Let us meet the test. THE Monitor last week commented editorially upon the omission of Mr. Crawford's picture from the high school group and the reply made to Mrs. Crawford by some employee of The Bee office. Mr. Smith, managing editor, assures us that he has been unable to fix responsibility for the reply. Two letters published in this issue related to this incident. One is from W. H. Gray of Council Bluffs to Mr. Updike, owner of The Bee and the other is a courteous reply from Victor Smith, managing editor, which explains and regrets the omission. The Monitor accepts Mr. Smith's explanation and believes that he will do his best to give fair treatment to all classes. Sunday's photagravure section of The Bee prepared, some weeks before, contained school groups in which colored children's pictures appeared. WE WILL NEVER AGREE THAT NEGROES BE LEFT OFF THE PARTY TICKET It is a distinct step backward that the majority of the delegates to the republican city convention who met Monday, did not present a Negro as their choice for alderman, and did not make the fight for his ratification. The spirit of the race has risen to the place where we are no longer content to pay taxes, bear arms, and vote to elect men who think "the time has not yet come when it is expedient to have Negroes in office." The ward delegation may have failed had it tried, but it was duty bound to represent the opinions of the race, and the race wants to play the man, and will not be content to be the creature. The spirit of the convention is generally understood to have been in opposition to the nomination of a Negro. In fact that is the excuse offered why no one was proposed. If so, then the republican party in Kansas City needs to be aroused to the vital principle at stake, the same principle that made the colonies fight in the Revolutionary war, the same principle that has made it the dominant party ever since the Civil war. If republicans in Kansas City do not want Negroes on the party ticket, after depending as they do upon Negroes for some measure of their party strength, then it is not representative government they want, but autocratic government, and we must not consent to such an un-American practice.—The Call (Kansas City, Mo.). Vote for M. F. Singleton, you can depend upon him to stand up and do what is right. FINAL ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNT. In the County Court of Douglas County, Nebraska.

The man who fails is the sort of chap Who is always looking around for a snap; Who neglects his work to regard the clock. Who never misses a chance to knock. He is grouchy and slow when work begins; When it's time to quit he jokes and grins. He's always as busy as busy can be, When he thinks the boss is around to see. He believes that 'a "pull" is the only way By which he can ever draw bigger pay; Ad he sulks and growls when he sees his plan Upset by the "push" of another man. He's on the job when he draws his pay; That done, he soldiers his time away! While the men who tackle their jobs with vim Keep pushing and climbing ahead of him. For the man who fails has himself to blame, If he wastes his chances and misses his aim; He'd win if he'd use his hands and wits; The man woh fails is the man who quits. CHARLES R. BARRETT. THE MAN WHO WINS. The man who wins is an average man; Not built on any peculiar plan, Not blest with any peculiar luck; Just steady and earnest and full of pluck. When asked a question he does not "guess"— He knows, and answers "No" or "Yes." When set a task that the rest can't do. He buckles down till he's put it through. Three things he's learned; that the man who tries Finds favor in his employer's eyes; That it pays to know more than one thing well; That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell. So he works and waits, till one fine day There's a better job with bigger pay, And the men who shirked whenever they could Are bossed by the man whose work made good. For the man who wins is the man who works, Who neither labor nor trouble shirks, Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes; The man who wins is the man who tries.

Dawes, Chicago Banker, who was associated with John J. Pershing in the organization and movement of the American Expeditionary forces, "I consider General Pershing nothing less than a genius." DIPLOMAT—The manner in which Pershing met the thousand obstacles presented by contact with the methods and people of European nations has been pronounced by foreign authorities to have been one of the big elements in the speedy conclusion of the war. ADMINISTRATOR-While still a captain, Pershing's four years as Governor of the savage tribes in the Moro Province were pronounced by W. Cameron Forbes, Governor General of the Philippines, to be a "triumph of tact and energy." His remarkable management of the A. E. F. was a business, as well as military, feat almost without parallel. Not as an additional honor to the man, but in order that the nation may get full value from his extraordinary talent, equipment and character, you should help, April 20, to pile up the greatest of majorities for Nebraska's greatest of presidential candidates.

Council Bluffs, Ia., March 24, 1920. Mr. Nels Updike, Omaha, Neb.-Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find a slip which was cut from a recent issue of the Daily News. This, as you will see is in relation to the graduation of the Commercial High students. I was pleased to note the names and pictures of the entire class in the World-Herald and Daily News. Did the World-Herald and the News prohibit the Bee from putting all the graduates in? There were twenty-one in the first two papers I mention above, but I could count but twenty in your paper. I didn't know there were lily white republicans in Omaha. The only place I knew of any was in Texas, and I believe they are doing away with them, even there, as there is not enough of them. What there are I guess must have come from there to Nebraska. We believe we a right to expect a high-grade republican paper in this section, but you know that is what we haven't had, but we had entertained high hopes of a decided step forward when this paper recently went into your hands. Are we to be disappointed? Is the Bee to still continue to inflame race prejudice? Is it going to fill the minds of our young folks with hatred and resentment over manifest injustice. There are a lot of us that read these papers. Is the Bee going to give us a square deal? Omaha, March 25. 1920. Mr. W. H. Gray, 1322 Avenue A, Council Bluffs, Ia.—Dear Sir: Your letter to Mr. Nelson B. Updike with reference to the omission of a colored boy's picture from our group of Commercial High school graduates last Sunday has been referred to me. I wish to assure you that this omission was not due to the fact that Dillard Crawford was the only colored boy in the class. We obtained his picture with the others and sent them on to the engraving department. When the "cuts" came down The Serving of the American People for use this particular one did not print sufficiently well to make the features discernible. If we had printed it the features would have been nothing but a black smudge, and there was no time to get a new "cut." It frequently happens that there is a certain percentage of cuts that do not turn out well, but we realize that it was very unfortunate that the one in this case should be that of the only colored boy in the group. In order to make up for the omission we gave separate attention to Dillard Crawford in a story appearing on page 10-C of the same issue of The Bee. This was all that we could do under the circumstances. I wish to assure you that The Bee draws no distinctions of color. I believe that I have made this clear in a personal interview with Reverend John Albert Williams whom you doubtless know. The policy will be to accord equally fair treatment to both white and colored. If at any time you have reason to doubt that this intention is carried out in practise I will appreciate it if you will let me know. Yours very truly, VICTOR B. SMITH, Managing Editor.

Although the sweater manufacturers have not as yet given much publicity to the garment, the success which has attended the launching of the scarf cape is regarded as an omen that this new dress accessory will become very popular. As a rule, the scarf is made of brushed wool. Light tans and greens are considered the leading colors. By arranging the scarf properly, it becomes practically a garment in place of a cape. A wide sale is promised the novelty as a sporting garment for skating and other winter sports. It is also being ordered for retail sale in the early spring.

PATRIOTISM-Since he sawed wood to prepare for entrance to West Point, Pershing's life has been a record of service to the American people.
