Kentucky Lynches Despite Recent Law CLAIM LOWDENITES ARE LILY WHITES Register at Court House Friday--Last Chance GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Kentuc CLAIM KENTUCKY LYNCHES IN FACE OF RECENT LAW Which Automatically Moves Peace Officer Who Surren- Prisoner to Mob—New Law Not Live Until Ninety Days After Adj- ment of Legislature. GOVERNOR MORROW HAS SIGNED Makes Penalty for Lynching Death or Life Imprisonment—Enactment of Remedial Measure Secured After Long Fight—Amendment Passed Unanimously—Will Such a Law Be Enforced. NEW YORK, April 8.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has made public the following statement regarding the signing by the governor of Kentucky of a bill to punish mob violence: In view of the lynching on March 29 of Grant Smith, a colored man, at Millersburg, Ky., by a mob which overpowered the sheriff and the police chief as they were taking their prisoner to jail, it is interesting to note that only one week prior to this occurrence Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky signed a bill providing for the punishment of lynchers and for the removal of the peace officer who surrenders his prisoner. The bill was signed in the presence of a committee of colored citizens headed by Dr. E. E. Underwood, president of the Frankfort branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to whom the gold pen used by the governor was presented. The bill makes the penalty for lynching death or life imprisonment, and that for attempted lynching confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two years nor more than twenty-one years. The fight to secure a lynching law in Kentucky began with the legislature of two years ago, when a bill was passed submitting to the people a constitutional amendment to make it possible to effect the automatic removal of any peace officer who permitted a mob to secure a prisoner in his custody. The bill submitting the amendment was championed by a committee of colored citizens, who succeeded in securing its passage without a single dissenting vote in either branch of the legislature. As to whether or not this law will be enforced will be shown by action taken by Kentucky authorities to bring to trial the lynchers of Smith. The association has learned, just as this statement was being prepared, that the anti-lynching statute does not become effective until 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature, due to its failure to include an emergency clause. ONE REASON WHY WE CANNOT BE DEMOCRATS Montgomery, Ala., April 1.—Negro voters will not be allowed to participate in the Alabama democratic primary May 11, under a ruling made today by W. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the state democratic executive committee. This will not prevent Negro voting in the general election in November.

His total capital was $2 when he came to Wyandotte county fifty years ago. THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor RAISING MAINTENANCE FUND FOR Y. W. C. A. (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., April 8—Collection of funds to make up the required sum of $25,000 for maintenance of the Y. W. C. A. building for the colored branch of that service will continue this week, the subject of Y. W. C. A. work having been given special attention in many churches. The building at Ninth and Rhode Island avenue is going up rapidly, funds for the construction having been appropriated by the war work council of the association during 1918. KENTUCKY MOB BURNS PRISONER (By. Associated Negro Press) Paris, Ky., April 8—Grant Smith, charged with criminal assault, was removed from the county jail by fifty men, who rushed Smith out of town. The mob announced it would hang the accused from a bridge at Millersburg, nine miles from here. Later, a report from Maysville stated that a mob which captured Smith from officials at Paris, was burning him at Bluelick, Fleming county. The man was arrested in Pontiac, Mich., charged with assaulting a 14-year-old girl and was brought here for safekeeping. EXPLAINS SHORTAGE OF NEWS PRINT PAPER Montreal, April 8.-Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York Globe, who has come to Montreal to investigate the causes of the serious newsprint shortage in the United States, said recently that it was due in large part to the fact that empty freight cars for the movement of the paper were not being returned to Canada from the United States. "The situation is desperate," said Mr. Rogers. "Unless the empty cars are returned the mills must stop making paper. As they are getting badly choked and cannot store further supplies." REVIVE ANTI-JEW MOVEMENT. Speeches and Handbills Agitate Population of Berlin. ' Berlin—A sudden and widespread revival of the anti-Semitic movement made itself felt when at intervals throughout the day leaflets were distributed protesting against the presence of Jews in public offices, and attempting to inflame the public mind by cartoons picturing the German people as starving in a cage, while well fed and prosperous Jewish merchants look on and are made to say: "Don't feed the animals." Prominent Jewish residents are outspoken in expressing their serious apprehensions over the recurrence of the movement at this time. The Baltic troops, which made such a sanguinary departure from the city, are accused of taking a leading part in the agitation, and numerous inciting handbills are attributed to them. Among the anti Semitic street speakers were Baltic officers and enlisted men. COLORED JAMAICAN TEACHER AT LONDON UNIVERSITY London, England, April 8—Dr. M. L. Moody, M. D., L. R. C. P., and a native of Jamaica, who has a large practice here, has been elected bacteriologist and lecturer on biology at the university. BERLIN CENSUS GIVES 3,801,235. Washington, April 8.—The city of Berlin with adjacent districts now includes 3,801,235 inhabitants, according to recent issues of the Berlin press, which published results of the census started October 8, 1919.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, APRIL 8, 1920 WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYING IMPORTANT WORK AMONG YOUNG WOMANHOOD? People of Community and Country Anxious to Know Why the Promised Work of the Young Women's Christian Association for Which the National Council Made a Liberal Appropriation Several Months Ago Has Not Been Started Here MONITOR GIVES FACTS AND PLACES BLAME UPON SHOULDERS OF ADVISORY BOARD Committee of Women Had Selected and Decided Upon Desirable Property, Offered at a Bargain, on Edge of Colored Residence District, Which Selection Was Approved by National Officer, But Which Board Advised Against When Objection Was Raised on Grounds of Color—Cannot Find Suitable Place LAST September steps were taken to establish a branch of the Y. W. C. A. in Omaha for colored girls. A splendid site was offered at a bargain. It was the beautiful artificial stone residence of Mr. and Mrs. Max Burkenrod at Nineteenth and Burdette streets, with ample ground for development and expansion as the work might grow and necessity require. The Y. W. C. A. committee, headed by Mrs. Charles Offutt, was enthusiastic over the place. Mrs. Cordelia Wynn, special worker from the national office in New York came to the city, inspected the property and recommended its purchase. The sum of $5,000 was appropriated by the national board to inaugurate this much needed work in Omaha, a portion of which sum was to be used in making a payment on this property. The deal was virtually closed. One of the women of the committee telephoned Mrs. Burkenrod, advising her to consider the place sold and complimenting her upon the fact that her home was to be used for such a worthy purpose. The Monitor believes this good woman and the entire committee was absolutely sincere. It seems, however, that they have an advisory committee of mere men. F. D. Wead and other real estate men, we believe, are on this committee. These good women submitted the proposition to these gentlemen. They admitted that the property was a great bargain and admirably adapted for the noble purpose the women had in mind—but, objections had been raised against locating an institution, even though such a worthy one as a Y. W. C. A., to be used by colored people in that vicinity, which, they said, if the committee failed to heed would handicap them in securing funds for their work among the business men. The Monitor knows who raised the objection. One was Charles L. Saunders, who has frequently received a large vote of our people for state senator, who owns the lot next door and some property in the block above; and the other was a woman in the adjacent block whose brother, another ardent republican, is an influential member of the Real Estate Exchange. Be it known that colored people already own and occupy property within a stone's throw of this very corner; so it is not "an exclusive white neighborhood" which colored people are trying to invade. It is by no means a pretentious neighborhood, but one occupied by modest well-kept homes and an increasing Jewish population, another well defined group of splendid American citizens, who, like our own, when they settle in a neighborhood, give point to the words of the Psalmist, "One shall chase a thousand and ten put ten thousand to flight." But the voice of the advisory committee prevailed. They undertook to help the women find a suitable place, preferably—in keeping within the proposed so-called "zoning system" or "colonization scheme," or enforced "segregation policy," which certain individuals are working overtime to put across "somewhere on Twenty-fourth street south of Lake," or "west of Twenty-fourth street." In this ouest they have been unsuccessful as there is no desirable property available within the limits set. Eventually a place at Twenty-fifth and Maple was considered desirable. The price asked for this property, two recently remodelled and stuccoed frame buildings, with no ground for expansion or development, was $9,000, just $2,000 or $3,000 less than the Burkenrod property which could not be built today for $30,000. In replying to a letter from Mrs. Wynn, in which she regretted that the work had not been started here, the editor of The Monitor gave the exact facts in the case and told why the work was being held up, stating that in his judgment that the un-Christian and un-democratic spirit which was objecting to the location of the much needed branch at a strategic point, which within a few years will be in the heart of a desirable colored residential district, ought not to be submitted to and that unless the work could be started under favorable circumstances and in an advantageous locality, it were better to postpone it. In the meanwhile Miss Frankie B. Watkins had been appointed by the national council as Y. W. C. A. worker here and has been on the ground for some months. Her hands are tied because no place has as yet been provided for her to begin her work. The ardor and enthusiasm of the committee of colored women who were anxious to go to work in October last has cooled. The sum of $5,000 awaits proper investment in helping our young womanhood in Omaha under the inspiration and guidance of that splendid organization, the Y. W. C. A., which has proven its helpfulness by more than a half century of constructive work. The Monitor deems it wise and timely to give these facts to the public, which show just why the much needed work of the Y. W. C. A., for which a liberal appropriation was made by the national council last September, has not been begun here. The Monitor is responsible for calling the local committee's attention to the splendid Burkendro property which all admitted was well suited for the purpose desired. After a six months' search nothing has been found in any way to equal it. Had prejudice not thwarted it the Y. W. C. A. would have been well housed long before this and demonstrated its helpfulness to our young womanhood. The Monitor places the blame for holding up the work of the Y. W. C. A. among our people not upon the frail shoulders of the Christian women who were anxious and are still anxious to have it go forward but upon the broad shoulders of their advisory committee and back of the advisory committee upon those of the Real Estate Exchange or of its committee in the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, who believe that our citizens should be limited as to residence to certain well-defined districts, which as a proposition is subversive of our constitutional rights to which no self-respecting American citizen can voluntarily subscribe and which as working principle, because of its subversion of constitutional rights is impracticable. SUPREME COURT RENDERS FIFTY-FIFTY DECISION Affirms Death Sentence in Case of Six Condemned for Murder in Riots, Remand Six. (By Associated Negro Press) Little Rock, Ark., April 8—The Arkansas supreme court recently affirmed the death sentence imposed on six of twelve men condemned for murder in connection with the Elaine race riots last October and reversed the other six and remanded their cases for new trials. These twelve were sentenced in less than ten minutes. RACE LADS STAR IN DIAMOND MEDAL MEET New York—A crowd of over 3,000 enthusiastic, excited fans witnessed the Diamond Medal meet held in the Twenty-second Regiment Armory Monday night and saw such stars as Pete White, Roy Morse, Clarence Sherman and other race men romp away with coveted trophies. The main event, the Major Cobb Memorial trophy, was won by Pete White in the fast time of 10.2-5 seconds. Roy Morse came third. Although this was the main event of the evening all the contests proved close and exciting, and the general impression was that if given their chance our contenders would give all others a run for their money. PRIVATE CARS TO NATIONAL WOMEN'S CONVENTION IN TUSKEGEE To the Members of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs—Dear Co-Workers: Plans are about completed for transportation to Tuskegee, to our convention July 12-16. We are hoping to have 1,000 women in session at this meeting and have made it possible for you to get there with all convenience and comfort. Private cars will leave from New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago and Pittsburgh. These cars will be kept in Tuskegee during the session. The committee consists of: For New York, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, 521 Michigan avenue, Buffalo, N. Y.; for Ohio, Miss Anna V. Hughes, 298 North 22d St., Columbus, O.; for Illinois, Mrs. Irene Goins, 2942 Prairie avenue, Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. L. E. Jameson, 922 Monson St. Peoria, Ill.; for Philadelphia, Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, 1614 W. Second St., Chester, Pa.; for Louisville, Mrs. Georgia A. Nugent, 845 S. 6th St. Louisville, Ky.; for St. Louis, Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, 209 North Jefferson Ave., St. Louis, Mo.; for New England, Miss Robert J. Dunbar, 58 Winter St., Providence, R. I.; for Baltimore, Miss Ida R. Cummings, 1234 Druid Hill Ave., Baltimore, Md.; for Washington, D. C., Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C. The following are the approximate rates for the return trip, including railroad fare, Pullman charge and taxes; these rates are subject to a little change as railroad conditions are unsettled at this time. Sufficient notice will be given of any change in rates. From Louisville, $33; from Pittsburgh, $70; from Chicago, $59.22; from St. Louis, 51.18; from New York, $73.90; from Philadelphia, $68.50; from Washington, $59.00. All other points can estimate their rates by comparison with the point nearest them mentioned above. Further information can be secured from any of the committee. Reservations must be made as soon as possible so the chairman will be able to inform the railroad of the number of cars desired. Each car will accommodate forty and the rates mentioned above are on the forty basis. All money must be in the hands of the railroad one month before the date of the convention, as they will require this much time to assure us perfect arrangements directly to Tuskegee. Any further information can be secured from the national chairman on transportation, Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, 2519 Webster Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! ENT LAW WHITES ES CISSION THE LOWDENITES ARE LILY WHITES Case of in Riots, Virginia Supporters of the Illinois Governor Eliminate the Brother in Black From Convention and Select Delegate by Steam Roller Methods DELEGATE FRANKLY FOR WHITE SUPREMACY Organization Formed to Contest the Lowden Delegate and to Forward the Candidacy of Dr. Ferguson—Another State Convention to be Called RICHMOND, Va., April 8.-Lowden forces, in their eagerness to grab the delegation from Virginia, proclaimed a Lily White organization and rode rough-shod over the colored voters in this state. As a result there is extreme bitterness in the hearts of the colored republicans of Virginia. They were totally ignored by the Lowden machine when delegates were chosen to represent the Richmond district at the state national convention. An organization to contest the choice of Lowden-Lily White delegates has been perfected. J. F. Brady clerk of the United States district court, was the choice of the white steam roller convention for national delegate. Brady announced his views on the local political situation by saying that in his opinion no powerhl republican organization could be unquestioned. He deprecated the lively interest in politics taken by the colored man, and said that it was not for the best interests of the party. "I am not a candidate for national delegate, have no intention of being a candidate and wolud not serve if I were nominated," Brady said on the eve of his election. "But," he continued, "I do believe we need men of the highest character in the party, and that it cannot be made a strong force here under any other conditions than that it be an entirely white organization. It is only to this end that I am personally interested." Nevertheless Brady was elected. The resentment of the colored voters was not slow in expressing itself. A permanent political organization was formed forthwith, and steps taken to further the candidacy of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, colored, to represent the district at Chicago in June. A mass meeting followed and Henry L. Johnson went on from Washington to address the indignant colored men. He was formerly recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Every man attending the meeting exhibited his poll tax as proof that he is a qualified voter. It was maintained at a second meeting that fair play had been denied those present at the first mass meeting when the delegates were chosen. A cordon of police had been drawn up in front of the court house, and scores of Negroes seeking admission were told that they could not enter. Edgar Allen, formerly postmaster at Richmond, said he stood for justice to white and colored men alike, regardless of those who might term him a "Nigger lover."

P. —Organization Took Active Part in Securing Legal Talent to Protect Hill's Interests. SENATOR CAPPER RECOMMENDS ATTORNEY County Attorney Fisher Represented the Association—Is Ably Assisted by Attorneys Scott, Guy and Thomas, Colored Barristers. NEW YORK, April 1—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement in regard to the refusal of Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas to extradite Robert L. Hill, accused of being the leader of a plot to "massacre" whites in Phillips county, Arkansas, last October, which reviewed the legal steps taken to prevent Hill's extradition. This the association regards as one of the greatest legal victories won since the segregation decision and since Governor McCall of Massachusetts denied extradition to West Virginia of John Johns- "At the close of a hearing which lasted from 2 o'clock in the afternoon of March 22 until after midnight, Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas refused to grant the extradition petition of Governor Brough of Arkansas for the return of Robert L. Hill, alleged head of the Progressive Farmers' and Householders' Union of America, to Arkansas. "Hill was arrested in Topeka, Kans., on January 20, as the leader of the organization charged with planning to 'massacre' whites in Arkansas in October, 1919. As soon as news of the arrest was received at the national headquarters of the association, the secretary got in touch with Senator Arthur Capper (formerly president of the Topeka branch of the association and at present a member of the national board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P.), who wired Governor Allen asking that Hill's extradition be denied until the N. A. A. C. P. could be represented by counsel to fight the case. The association itself wired Governor Allen stating that the association would retain counsel on Hill's behalf and alleging that Hill could not receive a fair trial in Arkansas; that this fact was conclusively proved by the record of trial and conviction growing out of the Phillips county, Arkansas, verdicts of last November, rendered by juries from which colored men were excluded, the jury's verdict in the case of five of the twelve men sentenced to death, having been returned in five minutes. Counsel for the defense put 10 witnesses on the stand in defendants' behalf and did not ask for a change of venue. "Senator Capper recommended Mr. Hugh T. Fisher, county attorney of Shawnee county, Kansas, to represent the association in fighting Hill's extradition. Mr. Fisher's genuine interest in securing for Hill a fair trial is shown by the following extract from his letter to the N. A. A. C. P. in which he agreed to take up the case: "Immediately upon receipt of the VOTE FOR Arthur D. Knight Republican Candidate for State Legislature Born, reared and educated in Douglas County.

"From this time until the decision of Governor Allen was rendered, Mr. Fisher has worked untiringly and with great legal ability in Hill's defense. "It was contended on Hill's behalf that he had no direct connection with colored people arming themselves or with the trouble at Hoop Spur, Ark. By affidavits and depositions it was shown that the testimony at the Arkansas trial was procured through torture and that testimony offered by Arkansas authorities, who were represented by Attorney General J. D. Arbuckle, was hearsay testimony. Mr. Fisher forced the Arkansas attorney general to admit that S. O. Bratton, a white man of Little Rock, Arkansas, was almost lynched and that a great deal of feeling and prejudice against Hill and his organization existed in Arkansas. "Following Governor Allen's denial of extradition, which was a great blow to the Arkansas authorities, counsel for Hill and the N. A. A. C. P. immediately took a train for Kansas City, Kansas, arriving there just in time to prevent the Arkansas authorities from securing a writ from Federal Judge Pollock for Hill's removal to Arkansas on the ground of impersonating a federal officer, which counsel for the N. A. A. C. P. regard as a trivial and inconsequential charge. Judge Pollock refused to sign the papers and has set April 8 as the date for the hearing on the federal indictment. "Associated with Mr. Fisher and backed by the N. A. A. C. P., were three colored attorneys of Topeka, Messrs. Elisha Scott, James H. Guy and A. M. Thomas. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People regards Governor Allen's action as deeply significant," said John R. Shillady, secretary of the association.

He owns and operates the farm homesteaded by his fatLer, Isaac Pollard, at Nehawka, Cass County, in 1856. After graduating from the State University, the voters of Cass County elected him a member of two sessions of the State Legislature. Later, the voters of the First Congressional District sent him to Congress for two terms. At present he is a member of the State Constitutional Convention, and has shown himself to be progressive, sincere and level-headed. While in the United States Congress he was a member of the Agricultural Committee of that body and brought to the farmers of Nebraska, through the State Experimental Station, the serum treatment for the control of hog cholera which has practically wiped out this plague. As Governor, he will represent no class. He will vigorously enforce all the laws and will insure to all the people, whether rich or poor, every personal and property right guaranteed by the Constitution. He is a successful farmer and will give the state a business administration. His nomination will mean certain victory for the Republican party in the November election. the ninety odd colored defendants in the alleged uprising in Elaine had a fair trial before un unprejudiced jury where their rights were protected as they were by Mr. Fisher and his associates in Topeka, and not as in Elaine, Arkansas, where the defendants were represented by counsel appointed by the court who did practically nothing in their defense." kingdoms the Kingd Christ.

Nor is it that we feel that the other churches laboring among our people are not doing all that can reasonably be expected of them in the work for the betterment of our condition. But it is rather that the Presbyterian church with its splendid equipment for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God may not be a slacker in this field of so great opportunities, of so great need. A field wherein every possible Christian effort must be put forth against the multiple forces of evil. Inasmuch as American Christianity is so divided, no community not being served by all the greater divisions of the church has full access to the catholic faith and worship. Every form of service has in it that which especially appeals to some individual mind and heart. Under present conditions no one organization either in doctrine or practice satisfies completely our diversified religious propensities. While it should be the incessant and earnest prayer of all true children of God that the church be one, yet under existing conditions it is incumbent upon each denomination to exercise its full power in furthering the cause of the Kingdom of our Common Redeemer and thus by exalting Christ cease to emphasize our differences.

He has been renting this property for sometime but has just purchased it for $10,500. The property consists of three two-story and basement, modern brick flats, numbered 2020-22-2 Burt street.

Twenty-three candidates were buried in the liquid grove, and rose to walk with Him in the newness of life. Tbpressive, indeed, were the en- tire services. ‘They came as the climax to a four weeks’ meeting, during which time men, women and children were led into the light of His word and ac- cepted Christ as their personal savior, At 11 o'clock came an old-time covenant meeting, Following the morning services came the Sunday sdhool. The children deserve great praise for the way in which they per- formed their parts in the Easter ex- ercises. Befitting songs and recita- tions carried out the spirit of the aay. The B. Y. P. U. came next in order. A spectai program in keepng with the day was also carried out here. In the evening a short sermon by the pastor was followed by the ad- ministration of the Lord’s supper. All went away at night feeling that the day had been well spent in sery- ice for the Master. ‘The following strangers were pleas- ant visitors with us Sunday: Mr, Ed Wood, Jefferson City, Mo.; Mr. R. Hickey, Atchison, Kas.; Mr. Charles Reddick, Kansas; Rev. J. Davis, Kansas City, Kas.; Mrs. J. L. Burgess, Muskogee, Okla. Ere the departure from the city of Dr. G. L. Prince, who assisted Dr. Botts in the recent revival, Mother Howard entertained at a 6 o'clock dinner in his honor. Covers were laid for 6 and all went away voting Mother Howard a delightful hostess. The Literary society will resume its meetings on Monday nights, the pastor's Bible class and teachers’ meeting on Tuesday nights and all auxiliaries resume their regular rou- tine of work once more, since the special effort for souls is ended.

It is a _ a mark of good breeding. Rude- ness and boorishness provoke con- tempt, and there is entirely too much rudeness manifested by young and old and especially by the young. We are exceedingly anxious that our peo- ple become honored and respected for their gentility, politness and good manners, not feigned politeness, but genuine because it comes from the heart. ELECT WOOD DELEGATION. Ne only is it important that Ne- braska’s preferential vote should be cast for Leonard Wood at the primary Apri} 20, but it is equally im- portant that a delegation pledged to stand uncompromisingly for Wood's nomination be elected to go to the national republican convention which meets in Chicago in June. Sixteen delegates are to be elected; four be- ing delegates at large, and two from each of the six congressional dis- tricts. Be sure to register and vote for Leonard Wood and a Wood dele- gation at the primaries April 20. ELECT TOWLE DELEGATE-AT- LARGE. gi Monitor's choice for delegate- atlarge from this district is John W. Towle. He was formen of the grand jury whieh brought in sev- eral true bills in connection with the September riots. In that position, a most trying one, he demonstrated most conscientious anxiety to probe matters to the bottom and ascertain the truth that justice be done. He is a high-class Christian gentleman, an upright business man, broad- minded and fair and a warm personal friend and loyal supporter of Gen- eral Leonard B. Wood. We urge our people to cast their vote unitedly’ for John W. Towle for dele-gate-at-large from this district. He is a man in every way worthy of our enthusias- tie support. OUR DISTRICT DELEGATES. re district delegates to the na- tional republican convention are to be chosen, Seven have filed. Three are avowed Pershing delegates, four are Wood delegates. One of these four ig John Albert Williams, editor of The Monitor, which was one of the first newspapers in the country to launch the Wood-for-president boom. Because of this fact and be- cause of his wide acquaintance with members of southern delegations and the salutary effect it would have upon the race at large, his candi- dacy has been urged and is being vigorously advocated. His support- ers contend that it is up to the re- publican leaders of this district, who have hitherto received the loyal sup- port of colored voters, to prove their willingness to give as well as take, by helping to nominate John Albert ‘Williams by a handsome majority, as ‘one of the two delegates from this district. ENTERING BUSINESS. A commendable spirit, which should be encouraged by all who have the best interests of our people at heart, is manifesting itself among us for launching out into the business and commercial world. Year after year we have been sacrificing ‘o give our boys and girls advantages of ed- ueation, only to find that no matter how well-equipped they might be, no opportunities were open to them in the business and commercial world, such as were offered to their class- mates of other groups. For example, yvoung men have graduated in phar- ‘macy and no place could be found for them and so they would have to be- come railroad porters or janitors or something of this kind, all honorable work but not that which these young people had qualified themselves for. ‘The imperative need, therefore, of opening drug stores of our ‘own and other lines of busiuess has been forced upon us. We are venturing into business and learining to do bust- ‘ness. Of course mistakes will be ‘made, but the only way to learn to do this is by doing them. It is up to us to support our business enter- prises and develop them to the high- est power, YOUR INTEREST—YOUR DUTY. This is the year.

Lewis, attorney, has open- ed his law office in The Monitor of ed 304 Crounse block, and will look after Monitor collections in connec- Maa wth Mie legal hastnkss: THE MONITOR ee esr aetna ret te eee To the Editor of the Monitor: | The most serious problem which the American Negro has to do with today is competent leadership. False and ignorant leaders are a menace to any people; truly great leaders are those who Work up from rank and file of the common people, who will exe- cute the will of the people regardless of their personal views, and who are willing to serve and sacrifice, to give all of themselves to the cacse. Ignor- ance and superstition, which have so long played a part in the social and spiritual life of the colored people, must give way to intelligence and righteousness, +*As a race we have very few effi- cient leaders; there are shoals of self- ‘appointed men and women who call ‘themselves representatives of the peo- ple, but they are false lights along a treacherous shore, they do more harm in their ignorant blundering than good. They would sell out the prin- ciples of right, equality and justice on which the Negro must stand unmov- able as the eternal rock, if they would attain their constitutional rights in the United States; they would sell everything which they have contend- ed for more than a half century for a little cueap notoriety, to shine for one intoxicating moment in the lime light of publicity. The stupidity of the so- called Negro leaders is, in a great measure, responsible for the increas- ing dissension and strife spreading over this western country between the races. Most of us know that the eon- dition of the Negro in some parts of this country is deplorable and should not exist under a democratic govern- ment, but the man or woman who would exaggerate these conditions, who would stoop to lies and deception to keep up strife and unrest in the hearts of the people for the sake of self-aggrandizement, is as great a menace as the white man’s prejudice? Authority is a multi-edged instrument which it is unwise to place in the hand of the simple. He who speaks of these atrocities in moderation with- out the spirit of revenge is the true benefactor of the race. I have often heard the remark that the Negro dis- criminates against himself. The truth of this statement was forced upon me last November when our city was to celebrate Armistice day by giving the soldiers and friends a banquet and re- ception, Imagine my chagrin when some of our leading citizens went to the Commercial club and asked that colored soldiers and their friends be put off to themselves because of the riot which previously occurred in Omaha. Now these men who asked the segregation of our colored sol diers were not one of them, had never been to war and many of them were either too young or too old for any draft age, but they were self-appoint- ed race leaders. As one soldier so wisely put it. “To think that we boys went over there to fight for a world democracy and come home to find our own people asking the white folks to segregate us.” This is another in- stance of misplaced leadership. In one of our western cities where there are located several state insti- tutions for the unfortunate there lived a woman who made her livelihood by soliciting the colored orphans from ‘the institution and caring for them in her own home, Her argument was that colored people could care better for their own because they un- [derstood them and that the children ‘would bave the advantage of attend- ing Sunday school and church con- ducted by their own people. Of THE UNIVERSAL CAR It’s no longer necessary to go into the details describing the practical merits of the Ford car—everybody knows all about “The Universal Car.” How it goes and comes day after day and year after year at an operating expense so small that it’s wonderful. This adver- tisement is to urge prospective buyers to place orders without delay. Buy a Ford car when you ean get one. We'll take good care of your order—get your Ford to you as soon as possible—and give the best in “after-service” when required. SAMPLE-HART MOTOR CO. 100% Ford Service 18th and Burt Streets OMAHA LEADERSHIP, glad for an excuse to be rid of these children, so if the colored citizens had noo bjection to their being out of the home it was glory for them, The state paid this woman a good sum per month for the care of each child 80 you see it was a big thing for her from a business standpoint, She drew more than $100 per month from the public treasury besides the help she got from the older children; they not only did the housework, helped with the laundry after school hours, which she “took in” but had practi- cally all the care of the smaller or- phans, She posed before the com- munity as a good Samaritan, was looked upon as a great race leader Pa uplifter of fallen humanity. ‘There weren't a dozen colored peo- ple in that town but thought she was doing this charitable work for her ‘great love for the cause. To fortify herself against suspicion and criti- cism she became a chronic agitator for permanent segregation of the colored orphane from these institu- tions. She told of inhuman treat- ment these poor little children had suffered at the hands of the attend- ants; how they were being forcibly put out of these places because they weren't wanted; how she had been compelled to turn her home into a refuge for them, but not a word did she say about the money she was re- ceiving each month for their care. On one occasion she had us all in tears when she told of a poor, thin, little girl whore hair had been shaved off because the white attendants didn’t understand combing it. Of course most colored folks know what a tragedy it is to cut off the little top knot which is all nature permitted to grow. on most colored children’s heads so why shouldn't we weep? She finally got the colored women so stirred up until they decided to or- ganize a club for the purpose of buy- ing a house to be used as an Old Folks’ Home and Orphanage, Here is my deduction and conclusion. ‘The colored people of that town are paying taxes for the maintenance of these institutions. The state pays this woman to take these colored hildren in her home and care for them at her own solicitation: She, finding her home too small to care for so many, yet not willing to let » dollar get by, she asked the Negroes o buy a home for these’ children. That will, of course, relieve here of the burden of having them in her own home so they are paying double taxes, one to the state to keep up these large, modern, well equipped, team-heated Duildings for white children, and one to the Woman's club to maintain this little hut down in the bottoms for Negro children. We may regard these facts ag in- significant, as immaterial, but there is more to them than our likes or dislikes; our petty ambitions and lust of power. Equal rights for every American citizen is the princi- ple on which our future in the United States rests. It is the solid rock on which this government must build or go down to oblivion. Whatever smacks of segregation should meet with no encouragement from us and whosoever tries to force it upon ‘us should be considered a traitor to the race; it is southern propaganda. Its only object is to keep the Negro down, to discredit his manhood, to ‘rob him of his personal liberty. MRS. ROBERT GRANGER.

BARBERS RAISE PRICES. The colored barbers of the city for almost a year have worked under price. To safeguard their business, and keep their men from entering other fields where they could make more money with less hours, were forced to come to the standard price of barbering. The matter hasn't created any great alarm. The people know the barbers have given their people the benefit of the doubt for a long time. Some have wondered in the face of high cost of commodities how they were able to work as cheaply as they have for so long a time. It is rumored the white barbers are soon to raise again. The colored barbers do not contemplate an additional raise at this time. They say if there is any possible way to avoid another raise they will do so. Although they cannot guarantee that.

Theodore Roosevelt's Friend Makes Strong Answer to Wood's Defamers. "If the American people want a man in the White House who knows and hates militarism, who is hated by every militaristic soldier in America and has suffered vitally from their opposition and jealousy, who was loved by the soldiers he trained because he was human, who was hated by the military clique for the same reason—lgt them take Leonard Wood."—Gifford Pinchot, Chief of the forestry service under Theodore Roosevelt. Extravaganza musical skit at Columbia hall, Thursday, April 15, for the benefit of the Old Folks home. Come and enjoy yourself.—Adv. For District Repu Nation Conv John Albe LEONAR ADMINIS At the close of the Spanish war Leonard Wood's supreme administrative duties began. He was made the governor of the city of Santiago and a few weeks later of the entire eastern half of Cuba. Here at this time came the test of his methods of organization and of his administrative qualities, for out of conditions of starvation, disease and empty treasures it was necessary to bring order, reasonable food conditions, protection for life and property, reorganization of the customs service and the control of food prices. Rehabilitated Cuba Under Wood profiteering was abolished, industry was built up, agriculture rehabilitated, hospitals organized, equipped and maintained, tens of thousands of people clothed and fed—and all this was done in a thorough business-like manner. It was done under tribulations which arose from the fact that the people were impoverished to the point of starvation and had been dying by thousands for the lack of the things which Wood quickly provided. The farmers were furnished with implements and food, and were given that aid which enabled them instantly to start at the work of production. The whole nature of things changed with almost incredible swiftness. Order speedily supplied disorder.

Richard THE OW Then there came the rehabilitation of the municipalities, the establishment of schools, the opening of roads, the organizing of government in the provinces, the readjustment of taxation, and of the courts, and the work of providing for the thousands of children made orphans by war or famine. Leonard Wood was in Cuba about four years. He left there a reorganized and sound banking system, a good railroad system, no debts, nearly $2,000,000 uncumbered money in the treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 1,000,000 tons, sound municipal laws, fine public works, a firm agricultural foundation and an absolute respect among the people for life and property.
