Give Wood Nebraska's Full Vote Tuesday Vote Tuesday for Your Own Candidates First The Mid-West Labor New Influential Publication of Organized Labor, Protests at the Evident Propaganda by Sinister Interests to Inflame the Public Mind Against Colored Americans and Declares It Unjust. GIVES FACTS OF THREE CASES SENSA-TIONALLY HEADLINED IN LOCAL DAILY No Excuse for Misrepresentation Which Might Have Caused Serious Trouble—News as Published Contrary to Facts Gleaned From Authentic Police Records. THE Mid-West Labor News in its last week's issue published an editorial which is an eloquent appeal for justice to the Negro. It points out the all-too-prevalent disposition upon the part of certain daily newspapers to stir up prejudice and hatred against colored people by box-car headlines calling attention to alleged crimes by criminals who may incidentally belong to that race. This practice is the more reprehensible when investigation proves that a very large percentage of the crimes alleged to have been committed by criminals identified with the colored race have no foundation in fact, or are gross and inexcusable exaggerations. The Monitor has repeatedly called attention to this gross injustice and the great danger of it. It inflames racial prejudice and breeds suspicion and distrust on both sides. It causes the white people, as a whole—fortunately there are exceptions, but they are woefully in the minority—to look upon all colored Americans as undesirable and criminally-disposed citizens; and the colored people, as a whole—and fortunately here, also, there are exceptions, but they are in the minority—to regard all white Americans as hostile and deceitful and set and determined to give the colored man the worst of it on every occasion. And this impression, The Monitor regrets to say, is growing. And the responsibility for it lies at the door of the press, which headlines "NEGRO THIS" and "NEGRO THAT," upon the slightest pretext. Omaha's disgrace of September 28th, last, was directly due to the exaggerated and sensational reports of alleged crimes by colored men. The vast majority of these reports were false and two, at least of the newspapers which published them knew at the time they were untrue, or gross exaggerations. The Monitor hopes that some day, some Omaha daily, or other publication which reaches a large number of the white people of this city and state will have the courage and manhood to publish the whole truth about the Will Brown case, that they may learn the truth. The recent articles in the Daily News to which the Labor News refers and which facts were also placed before a committee of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce by a committee from the Colored Commercial Club are the kind that inflame passion and arouse the primal brutal instincts which civilization is supposed to hold in check. We need not assure our readers that The Monitor stands upon the same platform as our contemporary in relation to crimes against womanhood. The Monitor has frequently stated its position on this matter. We are grateful to The Mid-West Labor News for the splendid stand it takes in its editorial captioned, "In Justice to the Negro," in which it says: GROWING.

We are g News for the splendid stand it ta Justice to the Negro,' in which There is apparent a determination on the part of sinister interests to leave no stone unturned to keep the workers apart. Not only is the propaganda being spread to keep the organized and the unorganized workers at swords points, and prevent them from realizing that after all in the fundamentals the interests of both are alike, but there has been apparent an effort to keep the great body of citizens separated in groups, and thus prevent common action for the common good. None know more than the special interests that once the average citizens forget the unimportant differences that may exist and unite on fundamental issues, that the special interests will immediately be called to account, and the common people will come into its own. This paper believes that the very evident desire to inflame the public mind against the Negro is a part and parcel of this propaganda to keep the citizens so busy fighting each other that they have no time or energy left to fight the common enemy. Mid-West Labor News has no excuse to offer for any man, white or black, who is guilty of an attack on a woman. We believe that criminal assault should be punished by electrification, whether the crime is committed by a black man or a white man and whether the victim is a white woman or a black woman. But we do emphatically protest against such treatment of the news as must in- Vote Tu THE MONITOR mind along lines calculated to induce race hatred. For instance, in a recent issue of the Omaha Daily News, there were two glaring headlines, "Negro Attacks Sleeping Girl," and "Negroes Attack Two Women." Regardless of the text of the stories, we wish to state the facts in the case, these facts having been gleaned from the police records, and statements made by those guilty of the offenses, and other corroborative evidence. First. In the case where the "Negro attacked a sleeping girl," in fact the man was arrested immediately. He was a white man, and was recognized by the girl as a former iceman who had delivered ice at the home. It would seem that there was no excuse for headlining this as a crime by a Negro, for the man was arrested on the spot. Furthermore, the World-Herald reported the matter correctly, stating that the criminal was a white man. In the second case headlined as attacks by Negroes, the facts of the case are that the Negro was a prowler, a sneak thief, who entered a basement, and was surprised by the lady of the house. In his excitement at being caught, he grasped the woman's wrist. Her own statement to the police denied that he attempted to assault her. He was a criminal, and should be punished for prowling, possibly for breaking and entering; there was no excuse for the newspaper to spread out a glaring headline chargevitably react in inflaming the public OMAHA, NEBRASKA, APRIL 15, 1920 EX-SERVICE MAN CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS Attorney George L. Vaughn, Who Was Commissioned a Lieutenant in the Recent World War, Named in Twelfth Missouri District. ENDORSED BY CITIZENS' LIBERTY LEAGUE ST. Louis, Mo., April 15. At a most enthusiastic meeting of the Citizens' Liberty league, Hon. George L. Vaughn, ex-lieutenant of the United States army, and lawyer, was unanimously endorsed as their choice as a candidate for congress from the Twelfth Missouri Congressional district. Lieutenant Vaughn is a young man of 38 years, single, and received his degree, L. L. B., from the law department of Walden university, Nashville, Tenn. He volunteered and went to the training camp at Des Moines, Ia., where he received a commission as first lieutenant. He made a splendid record as an officer during the war. Quite a number of ministers of the city were present and gave every assurance that Mr. Vaughn had their full support. Vaughn was out of the city, attending to some legal matters in connection with a lynching which tiok place at Moberly some time ago. When informed over long distance telephone the action of the Citizens' Liberty League, expressed his satisfaction of what had been done, adding, "I am willing to serve where duty calls." FREDERICK DOUGLAS' NAME FOR HALL OF FAME New York, April 14.—Nominations received for the Hall of Fame at mobiles on the last two days in conten names will be added this fall, include those of Barbara Fritchie, heroine of Whittier's poem; Susan B. Anthony, pioneer worker for women's rights, and Frederick Douglass, publicist, statesman and journalist. The nominations which close May 1, will be considered by the senate of the university and the names approved will be submitted to the electors. Douglas is the first Negro suggested to have his name made immortal by being inscribed in the colonnade at the university. The name of Barbara Fritchie was urged by many women's patriotic organizations. ROLAND HAYES TO GO TO AFRICA, LONDON AND PARIS New York, N. Y., April 13.—Roland Hayes, the noted tenor, scored an unqualified triumph at his recital on the night of the eleventh of March. A large and appreciative audience greeted and applauded the singer. He sang selections of African melodies as well as groups of modern songs. Mr. Hayes will leave shortly for Africa where he will study Negro music and its origin. His trip will include recitals in London and Paris. ing an attempted criminal assault. In another case of criminal assault charged by two boys, aged 15 and 17. These boys are, we believe, now in jail awaiting trial. They had seen a sensational movie and been incited to commit burglary. They broke into a basement. The woman of the house caught them in the act; in trying to escape they pushed the woman aside, and pushed her down, injuring her quite severely. She arose and attempted to follow them, and one of the boys threw a brick, striking her and hurting her quite badly. There was no criminal assault attempted, and while these young ruffians should be severely punished, it is not right that the Negro race should be placed under the stigma of having glaring headlines of this nature spread over the front page of a great newspaper, on such grounds as this. This newspaper is not defending anyone guilty of assault on any woman, by any man, regardless of the race or color of any of the parties. We, however, protest emphatically against the rousing of race hatred by what must appear to be deliberate misrepresentations of the facts.—Mid-West Labor News. WOOD SITUATION IN ILLINOIS. Chicago, Ill. April 14.—The Illinois situation is clearing for the Wood candidacy. With the present indications at hand there is the appearance that if the race vote is the determining vote Leonard Wood will win in a walk. Clearly the most interesting feature of the causes which make for Wood's popularity with the race vote and this appears to hold good in every section of the country—is that it is not based on any loud declaration by the general that he is a special friend of the Negro aside from the fact that he is a firm believer in human liberty, and as such he desires all the citizens—which includes the members of our race—shall stand the same in the eye of the law and the operation of the government REFUSES UNREASONABLE DEMAND OF FELLOW JURORS Dallas, Tex., April 15.—Despite the fact that he has been ordered by members of the central jury panel to leave their quarters, G. F. Porter, teacher in the High school, who was called to serve as a juror for the week, has refused to leave the court house until he is officially dismissed by the judge who drew the jury panel. Many members of the central jury panel for the week have made known their intention to forcibly eject Porter if he returns to their quarters, regardless of an order from the court. Porter said he was ready to give up his claim for service if the judge would dismiss him. WANT MACHINE GUN BATTALION (BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS.) Boston, Mass., April 15- The Massachusetts Officers' association, composed of Negro officers who served in the world war, voted unanimously to petition Governor Coolidge to make provision for one machine gun battalion, comprised entirely of Negroes in the reorganized Massachusetts national guard. In the recently announced reorganization program no provision was made for Negro combat troops. ADVOCATES NEW SUBDIVISION. Chicago, Ill., April 15.—The creation of a huge new subdivision in the neighborhood of Blue Island, and other far south suburban territory where Negro families will be given the opportunity to "self segregate themselves in portable houses," is one solution of the housing shortage offered by L. M. Smith, a south side real estate man at a meeting of the Chicago real estate board. ORGANIZE INSURANCE COMPANY Louisville, Ky., April 15.—With a capital stock of $100,000 divided into $10 shares, the Domestic Life and Accident Insurance company filed articles of incorporation this week and applied to the insurance commissioner of Kentucky for a charter.

ES FROM WOOD HEADQUARTERS ARRIVE IN OMAHA MAJOR JOHN ROY LYNCH TO SPEND SEVERAL DAYS HERE Distinguished Ex-Congressman, Author and Army Officer Expresses Pleasure on Revisiting Nebraska Metropolis in Interest of Leonard Wood—William Warley, Editor, and Mrs. Margaret Gaynor Here on Same Errand. PROMINENT SPEAKERS FROM WOOD HEADOUARTERS ARRIVE IN OMAHA ates First MAJOR John Roy Lynch, U. S. A., of Chicago and William Warley, editor of the Louisisville News, and and Mrs. Margaret O. Gaynor arrived in the city Wednesday morning to remain for several days, speaking and organizing in the interest of Leonard Wood. All of these are on the speakers' bureau and are sent here by the Wood campaign headquarters in Chicago. Major Lynch is well and favorably known in Omaha where he was stationed for many years as paymaster. He expressed himself as delighted at the opportunity of coming to Omaha where he spent so many happy years and made many friends among both races. He served under General Wood in Cuba and has known him personally for more than twenty years and so can speak with knowledge of his worth and qualifications for the presidency. Major Lynch has just returned from a tour in the south where he found Wood sentiment strong. Speaking of General Wood's prospects Major Lynch says that despite the news from Michigan and Illinois, which was expected to go for Lowden, outside of Cook county, Wood's victory is assured. The people are rallying to his standard because of their belief in his staunch Americanism. "Of course, we are expecting Nebraska to give Leonard Wood a rousing majority in its preferential vote and to elect a Wood delegation, one of which delegation we expect to be John Albert Williams, editor of The Monitor, whose splendid work in the advocacy of General Wood's candidacy is highly appreciated at headquarters," said Major Lynch. This is Mr. Warley's first visit to Omaha. He is also an enthusiastic Wood booster. Mr. Warley, whose newspaper wields a great influence in the Blue Grass state, says, "The people of the south, our people, I mean, are enthusiastically united for Leonard B. Wood, because they believe him to be the one man who at this time will best serve the interests of the entire country and relieve our people, so far as he possibly can of certain galling conditions under which we are restive. My message to the people of Nebraska and of the entire west and north is to rally to the standard of General LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! Wood and express our convictions and preferences at the primary of which privilege we in the southland are denied." Mrs. Margaret O. Gaynor of Chicago, of the women's bureau, also visits Omaha for the first time. She says. "Our women are united for Leonard Wood because he stands without equivocation against class legislation and stands uncompromisingly for law and order, which things mean so much to our people. We want men and women in Nebraska to stand unitedly for Leonard Wood, and work unceasingly for his nomination and election. They must let nothing keep them from the primaries Tuesday." WANTS LAW AGAINST FLANNEL TROUSERS New York, April 15.—Because a white man of American temperament visited an amusement park in London recently and saw colored and white people together, he wrote to an English newspaper demanding a law to prevent colored men from wearing flannel trousers, and to prevent white women from admiring them.—Negro World. FRENCH GOVERNMENT BUYS GUN WITH 120-MILE RANGE Paris—Delamare Maze, a French inventor, has sold to the French government the patent of a new long range gun which, after thorough tests, has shown it has a range from 100 to 120 miles. The shell leaves the muzzle of the gun at a speed of approximately 4,178 feet per second. LEFT $50,000 ESTATE. Washington, April 15.—Will of the late Dr. Cabanis filed recently shows an estate estimated at $50,000. The bulk of this goes to his wife as executrix.

I went to Cuba three times and went all around the island and visited the camps and the army posts and the prisons and hospitals and asylums and the schools and public works; I talked with everybody 1 could get hold of, and got all the in- formation T could get by conver- sation with soldiers and civilians and Americans and Cubans, T read the reports and T directed the course of the government in Cuba, and T knew what was go- ing on; and I feel under a debt of the greatest gratitude to Gen. eral Wood for what T think is fone of the most conspicuous and meritorious pieces of work ever done by an American, Lord Cromer, the greatest colonial administrator that Great Britain has produced, who put modern Exypt on its feet, and whose two volumes on the Hzyp- tian problem are the master work on colonial government in the English or, for that matter, in any other Ianguage, is report: ed by Eric Fisher Wood to have sald that “Leonard Wood's work in Cuba was the best colonial work of the century, that he was the only man in the world who was completely fitted to carry on the work which Cromer himself had initiated in Egypt, and that he only regretted that Wood was an American and not @ British subject.” FAIR PLAY FOR ALL. And, finally, Theodore Roose- volt, who if he were alive and well, would undoubtedly be elect- ed president next November, con- firmed in 1917, what he said as follows in 1908: Leonard Wood four years ago went down to Cuba, has served ‘there ever since, has rendered services to that country of the ‘kind whieh, if performed 3,000 years ago, would have made him & hero mixed up with the sun god In various ways; @ man who devoted his whole itfe through those four years, who thought of nothing else, did nothing else, save to try to bring up the stand- “ard of political and social life in that island, to teach the people after four centuries of misrule that there were such things as governmental righteousness and honesty and fair play for all men on their merits as men, The testimony of these three witnesses is high pralae, indeed, But might it not at least lead us to read the records and ask our- selves: If what we really want 4s to have our Government reor- “ganized on a plane of efficiency, with competent men appointed “who will work ably and. hare moniously to give us a fair re- turn for our taxes, do we need to look much farther for a Presi- dent than Leonard Wood?

This is par- ticularly true owing to the fact that the white labor groups, which will be represented by men of their selection, are seeking to secure from the pri- vate managements or the carrier corporations contracts of such a na- ture that the Negro employes would be prevented from securing new em- ployment in the skilled crafts of railway service and would be relegat- ed to the position of common laborl ers.

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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. IN politics! This is a phrase we hear frequently spoken in a tone of contempt, as though it were something to be scorned and treated with contempt and wholly above the concern of high-minded men and women. Many would have you believe that to have anything to do with politics or to be "in politics," as they phrase it, is an odious thing. This is a serious mistake. It is the duty of every citizen of a republic to be "in politics." It is of the very nature of a republic, a democracy, which means a government of, for and by the people, that the science of politics, for it is a science, belongs alike to every citizen, because there it is especially true, as Aristotle pointed out hundreds of years ago, that "all citizens obey and govern by turns, and are therefore participants in the republic, each in his own turn." Politics is one of the noblest and most extensive of human sciences because it embraces the whole scope of government and law. Considered as an art, because it is both a science and an art, it is unavoidably open to grave abuses, and because as an art, it has been degraded from its high and comprehensive function or purpose in the maintenance of individual greed, cupidity and ambition, and the furtherance of narrow, factious and disorganizing schemes and practices, politics has become to be regarded with disfavor by many. But because abuses have crept in this gives no excuse to any citizen to shirk his duty. Each citizen, who can vote is responsible for the conditions under which he lives. It is up to him to conscientiously study the issues confronting his community and nation, to study men and measures and vote according to his best judgment for good government. Not only so, he should be active in trying to advance and promote the political principles which he conscientiously believes to be for the best interests of his city, county, state and nation, and to elect men of good character to office whom he has reason to believe will see that those principles are put into practice. Moreover, men and women of high character and moral purpose, should be willing to offer themselves for faithful public service in any office they may be competent to fill for the well-being of the community. There is no odium attached to being "in politics," either as a voter, an active advocate of certain political principles, or as a conscientious public officer from the lowest to the highest office in the gift of the people. MAINTAIN SELF-RESPECT. THERE are certain men who are candidates for office for whom we ought not vote. We may or may not be able to defeat them. But we can maintain our self-respect by refusing to vote for any man for any office whom we consider to have placed a bar towards our legitimate progress, and we desire no other kind of progress, in any way. This applies generally to members of the real estate exchange and specifically F. D. Wead, Charles L. Saunders and L. N. Bunce. Messrs. Wead and Saunders are pleasant gentlemen, whom The Monitor has known for years, but they, from grounds of expedition or other reasons, are opposed to our people owning or occupying homes in any but certain restricted districts. Considering us, as their actions would indicate "undesirable citizens," it is rather inconsistent for them to expect our votes. Our votes should be regarded as "undesirable votes" by these gentlemen; if not, why not? L. N. Bunce, whom we do not know personally, was active in circulating a petition to forbid colored residents settling north of Lake street, and has expressed himself in anything but complimentary terms concerning colored people. The Monitor does not believe that we can consistently vote for men who assume this attitude and maintain our self-respect. VOTE AS A UNIT. IT is a plain duty of our people to vote for all of our own candidates FIRST. Several have filed as precinct delegates and for the county convention. Vote for these. Four others have filed for other offices, namely DISTRICT DELEGATE to the national republican convention; STATE REPRESENTATIVE and PUBLIC DEFENDER. John Albert Williams is candidate for district delegate, M. F. Singleton and F. L. Barnett are candidates for state representatives, and Amos P. Scruggs for public defender. Give all these men your united vote and work for their nomination and election. Help put them across. Don't scatter; center your fire; concentrate on all these and some will "go over the top." DISTRICT DELEGATE. District delegate to the national republican convention is considered a big honor. No emolument or pay is attached to it, but it affords an opportunity of doing good work in the selection of a presidential candidate and in helping shape platforms and principles. It places one in a position to be helpful in political ways to others. Many voters of both races believe that John Albert Williams ought to be sent as delegate from the second district, which includes Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties, and are actively working for his nomination. He is for Leonard Wood. THE WATER BOARD. Membership on the water board is most important. It is essential that broad-minded, public-spirited men be chosen for this office. Nearly 2,000 persons will be employed in various positions under its enlarged functions. Among these employees we ought to have proper and proportionate representation. This we have never had, nor will we have unless we elect the right kind of men on the board. Franklin A. Shotwell is a man whom The Monitor commends for the water board. Be sure and vote for him. LIBRARY BONDS. THE Monitor would call attention to the fact that in our all-absorbing interest in candidates at the primary a very important measure is likely to be overlooked. This is the bond issue for the Public Library, one of the great education institutions of the city, open to all citizens and generally used by them. These bonds are to enlarge library facilities and to provide a large assembly room that may be used free for lectures and similar gatherings. Vote "Yes" for the Library Bonds. DON'T FORGET THIS. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. THE office of justice of the peace has recently sprung into prominence and responsibility. Only one is chosen now for Douglas county. It is therefore apparent that great care should be used in choosing the right kind of man for this office. There are several aspirants, many of them competent and worthy men, and others who are unsatisfactory from many points of view and particularly in their attitude toward our group. The candidates for this office should be carefully scrutinized. There are three who are satisfactory from our point of view: Norman C. THE MONITOR Gault, George E. Tingley and Willet S. McEachron. Either one of these three would be acceptable to The Monitor. The thing, however, for us to do, is to ascertain, between now and the primary, who is the strongest, as compared with their opponents whom we do not want to see elected and throw our united strength to that one. We must elect a man who is friendly and square and defeat one whose attitude and sentiment is known to be unfriendly.

A. (Retired) of Chicago, who served under \/ ood in Cuba. William Worley, Editor Louisville (Ky.) News. Mrs. Margaret O. Gaynor of Chicago. Good Music EVERYBOD™ Tv TAR! Y TO GET A SEAT 6 RACE PRESS ON WOOD. The ‘Terre Haute ({nd.) New Emancipator has ‘the following to say regarding the Wood candidacy: ‘The Kmancipator indorses the nomination of General Wood for president of the United States on the republican ticket. General Wood 1s the logical candidate for the Negro. His public utterances against lynch- ings and mob law, proved that he is @ friend not only to the Negro but to every American. America needs 100 per cent Americans like Wood as leaders to make it a safe place for all Americans, black and white, to live in, Roosevelt is not dead for he lives today, speaks today and is rendering service to humanity today in the per- son of General Leonard Wood. Ten million Negroes in the United States ought to vote solid for Wood. There is not a thinking voter in this county who {s not going to vote for him. Soldiers and civilians alike are for the man who believes in a square deal and that is Wood. The Louisville (Ky.) News, now regarded one of the most forceful race newspapers in the “Blue Grass” ‘ountry has this to say about Gen- eral Wood. The colored people in all southern states, thousands of whom saw sery- ice in the Spanish-American war un- der General Leonard Wood, are looking with appealing eyes to their brethren in the north, especially in Ohio, Minois and Michigan, to go to their preferential primaries and cast their votes for this great soldier- statesman, the friend and companion of the immortal Roosevelt, both of whom loved and fought for justice to all mankind, regardless of sex, color or condition.” The fighting Atlanta (Ga.) Inde- pendent comes out equally strong in its endorsement of General Wood. “General Leonard Wood, the lead- ing candidate for the republican nomination is a representative Amer- ican of the highest ideals of govern- ment and worthy of any honor in the gift of the American people.” “I am for Leonard Wood for pres- ident,” writes Charles Andrews of New York City, “because he is a re- publican who believes in the Ameri- can citizens, regardless of color or race.” “With Wood in the White house, the law of the land will have some chance for fair and reasonable ex- pressions. That is why I um for the general for president,” declared George H. Walker, secretary of the Chicago Wood league in a recent speech. MAJOR LYCNH TELLS WHY AMERICANS ARE FOR WOOD Chicago, Hl., April 14.—"One of the gratifying aspects of this unwavering advocacy of Americanism is that it ‘puts at rest the oft repeated state- ‘ment that the race wants social privilege rather than civie rights. “This is ot the case in any sense,” declared Major John R. Lynch in a recent speech delivered to a large ‘mixed audience in this city. “What we want,” shouted this veteran of ‘many hard fought campaigns, “is a fair chance to become American cit- izens in fact as well as in state- ment. Leonard Wood represents the operation of that principle and that makes him our first candidate for president.” ROCKDALE. TEXAS. There were services at all the churehes Easter Sunday. Rev. A. B, Green and Rev. A. B. Lucas held serviees at their churches at 4 o'clock a. m. Easter Sunday. Both services were well attended. They preached on the “Resurrection of Christ.” At Io'clock Rev. A. A. Lucas preached from the theme, “An Awful End to a Promising Life,” The Easter program was splendid at all the churches. Brother H. H. Davis conducted the B. Y. P. U. Sunday evening. The collection for the evening was $61.20. Brother B. Y. Acock is on the mend after a long illness. He is greatly missed in the chureh, and we pray for his speedy recovery.
