"MAKE ONE FRIEND A DAY" THIS POSTMAN'S MOTTO The Veteran Carrier Has Lived Up to This Motto and Numbers Friends by Thousands—An Interesting Story of a Faithful Useful Life as Told by the Detroit News. WHEN Toussaint L. O. Lambert, mail carrier, swung his mail pack over his broad shoulders and strode to the door of the main post- office workroom at 8 a. m. today, there was none that correctly inter- preted his smile. The veteran car- rier had a secret. Evidently he pre- ferred to keep it to himself. That secret concealed something humo- ous. He nodded to the clerks and carriers as he passed, and when outdoors chuckled and winked at the pedestrians he met. His secret was almost too good-to keep, he thought but it seemed a great jest not to tell anyone just yet. The patrons on his route along Larned street from Woodward avenue to the east several blocks observed the old carrier's smiling face and caught the note of mirth in his voice as he bade them a good morning. The smile was there all day. On his return to office someone guessed Lambert's secret, and he laughed himself into a betrayal. His Anniversary. Yes, he was celebrating his fiftieth anniversary as a postoffice mail carrier. For a half century he had never missed a day on account of sickness or other reasons for absence from duty. He has to his credit the honorary title of "dean of Detroit mailmen," and in his half century of service he has served under nine postmasters, all of whom gave him honorable mention for efficient and faithful service. "I was working on the railroad when Grant was elected president," he said simply when asked why he entered the postal service. "I came home one day, and my mother asked me why I did not get a dignified job like working in the postoffice. To please her, I wrote a letter to Postmaster Swift, and several months later I got a reply. It was a notice to report for duty. Wins Friend a Day. "So I reported fifty years ago on April 1, and have reported for duty at the same hour on every work day since." Toussaint Lambert made one resolution when he started to work for the Detroit postoffice. It was to make one friend a day. This resolution he has kept faithfully, and he numbers friends by the thousands, a majority of whom have not seen him in years, but who do not fall to remember him on Christmas with card greetings. These greetings pour into him from all parts of the country. One of his early routes lay out Woodward avenue as far as High street. "I have never gone above that street, because there were only a few scattered cabins," he said. "A mail carrier can do a lot of things for people and make lifelong friends. The children I used to bring Christmas toys to are now middle-aged men and women who always greet me with a smile and a handshake when we meet. That is some re- THE MONITOR ward for me. I'm glad to be able to carry mail, and make new friends every day to add to my list. I never expect to get too old to cover my route on schedule time, because it seems to me to get easier every year." Reports on Holiday. Toussaint Lambert is absent-minded sometimes, but this affliction never hinders him in being punctual for duty or in delivering his letters correctly. He discovered his absent-mindedness on Lincoln's birthday, when the postoffice letter carriers were given a holiday. Lambert reported at the main office at his usual hour, filled his pack full of letters and distributed them to the patrons on his rohte before postoffice officials could remind him that the day was a holiday. "Well, I got the mail into the right hands, and I don't mind wirking on my day off," he said.—The Detroit News. SCOTTISH RITE TO MEET IN PHILADELPHIA (Special to The Monitor, by Walter J. Singleton.) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—An event of vital interest to Masons of the Scottish Rite is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia, beginning May 9 and ending May 11. Prominent members of the Masonic Ordrer from all parts of the country, and from foreign countries as well are to be in attendance. The notice promulgated by the supreme council reads as follows: The thirty-ninth annual session of the thirteenth triennial session of the supreme council of the A. A. S. R. Masons of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States will convene in the city of Philadelphia, Monday, May 10, 1920, at 9 o'clock a. m., at 409 South Eleventh street. The triennial election of officers will occur at this session and it is expected that the reports of the work of the organization will show the largest increase in number of consistories and membership ever before noted. The war seems to have given all Masonic organization a new impetus, and in no department has it been so noticeable as in the Scottish Rite. The Sovereign Grand Commander, James Francis Rickards of Detroit, Mich., reports considerable interest in the work all over his jurisdiction. Recently the work has spread to Manitoba and other points of the British America possessions. This session of the supreme council will be the largest in point of attendance of any ever held. SPECIAL EXHIBIT BY FREEDMAN'S SCHOOLS Des Moines, Ia., April 22.—The local committee of arrangements for the general conference of Methodist Episcopal church, which convenes in this city next month, announces that Dr. I. Garland Benn, one of the general secretaries, has prepared a special exhibit of the work done in the Freedman's Aid schools of the conventions. WINS MAXWELL TOURING CAR. Kansas City, Mo., April 22.—The Call, a weekly published in this city has just closed a "Popular Lady" contest. Mrs. Kate Tate, as popular race society leader, won first prize, a five-passenger Maxwell touring car. The leaders in the contest were: Mrs. Kate Tate, Miss Winetta Donahue, Mrs. Pearl M. Dahney, Mrs. C. W. Reed, Mrs. Amy Ward, Mrs. D. M. Henry, Miss Evangeline Kinney.

THOUSANDS OBSERVE HEALTH WEEK Austin, Tex., April 22- Thousands in all parts of Texas observed Negro Health Week, April 4 to 10. Special programs were held in the Negro schools over the state, and doctors, nurses and teachers spoke to the children on personal hygiene, school sanitation, prevention of tuberculosis, cleanliness of the home and other subjects. Ministers over the state gave health sermons on Sunday, April 4, which was called "Health Sunday." OMAHA. NEBRASKA. APRIL 29.1920 HOSPITAL ACQUIRES BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY Trustees Receive Encouragement and Support from Whittier Centre, an Association Seeking to Better Health Conditions in "City of Brotherly Love." (By Associated Negro Press.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 22.—The trustees of the Mercy hospital, which has been doing very creditable work for twelve years in a converted dwelling, have chosen the beautiful site of the Episcopal Divinity school, the Whittier Centre, a social service organization composed mostly of influential white persons who are endeavoring to improve the health and living condition of Negroes in Philadelphia, felt that improved facilities should be afforded colored young women to learn trained nursing here. To that end they made an offer to Mercy hospital, that if they succeeded in obtaining the new site they were striving for, the Whittier Centre would contribute a fund sufficient to support the best superintendent of nurses obtainable, white or colored. The board of directors of Mercy hospital were unanimously in favor of having a colored woman for that position, feeling that her influence would be greater with colored 52¢ How would YOU like a raise like this?

INTRODUCES ANTI- DISCRIMINATION BILL (By Associated Negro Press) Boston, Mass., April 22—Senator John J. Walsh of this city offered in the state senate a substitute for the bill to prevent discrimination against colored persons in hiring employees for publicly controlled street railways. Senator Walsh's amendment is broader than the original bill. It provides for an amendment to the present statutes which prohibit discrimination against colored persons (Section 89 Chapter 212, of the Revised Laws) and adds "employment on all public utilities."

LAKE STREET COMMUNITY SERVICE TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGN Plans are now being made by the Community Service executive council for a campaign to raise $4,000 as our required quota of the year's budget to carry on community work through January 31, 1920, among colored people. White citizens propose to raise $6,000. Appeal will be made to churches, lodges, and all organizations as well as to individuals for liberal donations toward the desired fund. It has already been demonstrated that the work is worth while. There is no level-headed or logically thinking person but will concede that Community Service, by working as a prevention rather than a cure, providing wholesome recreation, has done a work which no organization limited by certain laws and customs could possibly do. Community Service is not an organization, it is only a program; it is of the people for the people and by the people and the people must support it. Subscription cards will be mailed to all persons who are, and should be, interested in race and community uplift asking that the cards be returned with a liberal subscription. These cards will be accompanied by letters of explanation and a purposed program of the work and will also be followed up in most cases by personal interviews. No one can afford to miss the opportunity of putting himself in line with a movement which tends to build up the morale of the youth. It will be a rare privilege to invest money in human lives. It may be years before the money will yield returns but when the returns begin to come in it will mean clean men and women to combat the evils of the world, strong men and men who will be physically fit to live long useful lives evolving from year to year a race increasing in intelligence, strength, morality and loyal citizenship. Your donation will prove that you are interested in your posterity. Can you afford to deny the fact? Members of the executive council who have charge of the campaign are EJ W. Pryor, president; Dan Desdunes, vice president; Mrs. Lillian Black, secretary; Nate Hunter, treasurer; H. J. Pinkett, Dr. J. A. Singleton; Mrs. J. H. Moss, Mrs. J. H. Hutten, Mrs E. R.

C., April 22.—President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university addressed the students of Howard university, Monday morning, March 29, in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel. Dr. Butler spoke with very great clearness and definiteness of the responsibility resting upon students privileged to attend an institution such as Howard university. He traced in chaste language the steps one must take to reach the station of "educated men and women," and then devoted himself to a discussion of the value and importance of the judgments which such men and women must make in their contact with the problems of life. Dr. Butler was warmly received by the whole student body when he arose to speak and was tremendously applauded at the conclusion of his eloquent remarks. New Orleans, La., April 22.—M. L. Alexander of the department of conservation told an audience of more than one thousand colored and white persons at a meeting of the Colored Civic League of New Orleans in the Dauphine theater that the Association of Commerce will stand back of the newly-begin movement of the league to better conditions among the race in New Orleans. Mr. Alexander spoke for a delegation of six from the Association of Commerce, of which he is a member. Let us pray that the saloon has departed to stay.

No. 43 (Whole No. 252) WOOD WINS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY Loyalty of Colored Vote Decisive Factor in Second District—Also Puts General Across in First—Delegates-at-Large Chosen Are Wood Men—Johnson Carries State—Pershing Poor Third. Ten of the Twelve District Delegates Had Declared for Wood—Colored Candidates Make Good Showing in Race for Political Honors. AMONG the outstanding features of the primaries held here April 20 may be mentioned the carrying of the state by Hiram Johnson by a plurality of 18,000; the election of a large majority of delegates who had declared their preference for Leonard Wood; the success of Wood in First and Second districts, the latter of which includes Douglas county, where there is a large colored population; and the strength shown by at least two of the colored candidates. Contrary to expectations, Barnett, candidate for the state legislature, received a larger vote than Singleton, an older and more experienced campaigner, although both men showed they were in the running. Amos P. Scruggs, for public defender, was the low man among the colored candidates and John Albert Williams, candidate for district delegate, whose filing for this honor was most displeasing to the Howell-Smith-Ure machine, polled a surprisingly large vote, being fourth man in the race. The coalition between some of the men who announced themselves as champions of Leonard Wood's candidacy and the Johnson forces did not impress many of those who were and are uncompromisingly for Wood as fair or honest. It gives the impression of an attempt to mix oil and water. It looked very much as though some local gentlemen were more interested in promotion of their own candidacy than that of Leonard Wood. This, to be frank, is The Monitor's opinion. It looks very much like a political trade which gave Johnson his plurality in the state. Among the delegates-at-large John W. Towle of Omaha was the high man. He undoubtedly received practically the enanimous vote of our people. The Second district delegates who won were William G. Ure and Gould Dietz, the latter of whom also received a heavy vote from our people. Ure was in the combination. Dietz ran independently. Samuel McKelvie, present governor, against whom there was a powerful combination to defeat him, won an easy victory over Adam McMullen of Beatrice, who had the backing of many Douglas county savants. Great interest centered in the clerk of the district court, a position which has been held by Robert Smith for lo! these many years. But the canny Bob Smith had his ever trusty rabbit foot, which John W. Long brought with him from Missouri about the time that Robert came from the bonny braes of Scotland and presented to Robert and so Robert said to both Sammie Westergaard and Frankie Bandle, who would disposses him, "Hoot mon, gae awa" to the tune of aboot 12,000 votes. Robert B. Howell had a tight squeeze to win out as national committeeman. He ran like a greyhound or gazelle in Douglas county, but out in the state he made the speed of a snail; but he got there just the same; and that's what counts after all. The democrats had lots of fun, too. The chief contest was over delegates between the Bryanites and Hitchcockites. The odds are in favor of the latter. The claim was that it was a fight between the wets and the drys, Bryan representing the drys and Hitchcock the wets. Arthur Mullen was defeated as national committeeman. Morehead for governor surprised the natives. His personal popularity gave him the nomination in spite of the opposition of the two factions of his party. The vote in this district for presidential preference with reference to the two leading candidates was as follows: | Wood | Johnson | | :--- | :--- | | Douglas | 7,122 | 6,540 | | Sarpy | 880 | 441 | | Washington | 194 | 567 | | Wood | Johnson | | :--- | :--- | | 7,696 | 7,458 | The vote on district delegate in Washington county gave these re- THE MONITOR A National Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of Colored Americans.

A LIFE, FAITHFUL AND USEFUL WE publish in this issue an article from the Detroit News on Toussaint L. O. Lambert, who, on April 1, finished half a century of faithful service as a letter carrier in the Detroit postoffice. Mr. Lambert's faithfulness as a postal employee is matched by his record as a devout communicant and officer of St. Matthew's Episcopal church. For a like term of years, no weather has been too severe to keep him from attending every Sunday, three times a day, the services of his church. Moreover, scores of men and women all over the country owe more than they can ever repay to this modest, godly man, and his first wife, a woman of distinguished literary ability and marked culture, whom hundreds sincerely mourned when some years since she "went within the low green tent whose curtain never outward swings." The refined home of "Toussaint and Mollie Lambert," as all called them to distinguish them from the older members of the Lambert family, an honored name in their city, was always open with generous hospitality for the boys and girls who would avail themselves of its privileges. The youth who entered that home were given high ideals and encouraged to fare forth and seek to attain those ideals. And so it has come to pass that men and women of our race in many communities who have done or are doing worth while things for God and humanity were started on their way by the unselfish interest, kind word of encouragement, and frequently by substantial help, generously given out of a meager income, from the Lambert home. The one who who writes these words is in the priesthood today, humanly speaking, through the influence of Toussaint Lambert. He it was who quietly suggested to me one night, when I was a student in the high school, that I consider the ministry as my vocation. Boylike, I laughed at the idea. But somehow the suggestion stuck. The thought lodged in my mind bore fruit. And so whatever service I have been permitted to render my fellowmen, however slight that service may be, I owe it largely to him who is now the honored dean of Detroit postmen. it did for the candidacy of Leonard Wood in the First and Second districts which include Omaha and Lincoln. In both these districts Wood won. It was undeniably the loyalty of the colored vote which put him over. Our people were practically a unit for General Wood and despite herculean efforts upon the part of Pershingites to cause desertion to their camp their efforts were unavailing. This was due to the influence of The Monitor and the reliable information placed before our readers concerning Leonard Wood and his stand for law and order which with our goup is vital and paramount. The fact that Johnson won out in the state is directly due to the influence wielded by Senator Norris and opposition to the league of nations and the ratification of the peace treaty in any form, which strikes a sympathetic chord in the hearts of many Nebraska voters, particularly those of foreign parentage and descent. These of course, responded to the Johnson sentiment. One factor that gave the vote of Douglas county to Wood must not be overlooked and that is the fact that because there were colored candidates in the field more of our people voted at the primaries than ordinarily would have done so, although even at that less than half voted. Had there been no candidates of our own these people would not have gone to the poles and frankly said so and their vote would have been lost and both Wood and the Wood delegates, who won by a narrow margin, would have undoubtedly been defeated. Here is a lesson the true significance of which ought not be lost either upon the voters or candidates. Douglas county saved the day for Wood in the Second district, as both Washington and Sarpy county gave large pluralities for Johnson. The Monitor claims credit for carrying the First and Second districts for Wood. EXPRESSES APPRECIATION. A young business man said to the editor of The Monitor, last week, after the election returns were in: "You're a trump! I admire your pluck! It took nerve to go up against a political machine and that bunch of rich guys, and run against them for election; and, believe me, you made some run. I'm glad to see how well you ran. You're game, all right." We appreciate the compliment of our admiring friend, which is quite undeserved. Somehow, we cannot help it, and would if we could, but there is a good deal of the sportsman in us and we enjoy a contest; and the greater the odds, the greater our zest in entering the game, and playing it fairly, and squarely to the limit of our strength and skill. And so when we were requested to become a candidate for district delegate we consented with the belief that we stood as good a chance of election as the other candidates. At all events we would do our best and if defeated we would continue to wear our smile and wonted good nature. And we are still smiling. We are, indeed, proud of the showing made in the contest and desire to take this opportunity of thanking our friends and voters for their loyal support, for it is to them the credit is due. To stand fourth in a contest of this kind with such opponents as William G. Ure and S. J. Leon, who had the powerful support of the Howell Smith-Ure machine, which vigorously and actively opposed our candidacy; Captain C. E. Adams, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., backed by the Pershing machine; Gould Dietz, wealthy clubman, active in civic affairs and deservedly popular, and Thomas Hollister, well known and popular attorney, is indeed an honor which any citizen well might covet. We appreciate the loyalty with which the members of our race and other friends rallied to our support and sincerely thank them for their splendid testimonial of confidence, appreciation and esteem. THE PRIMARIES. THE primaries in Nebraska are over. The general result was quite satisfactory. No one got just what he desired, but that was to be expected. It has been demonstrated that women have actively and intelligently entered into politics and are to be seriously taken into account. They know how to organize. Doubtless, some mistakes were made by them, as was to be expected; but they who make no mistakes never make anything else; and the men have special reason for exultation over their own inerrency. So far as our own group is concerned it has been demonstrated that we can and must be a power to be reckoned with; but that we have still a vast deal to learn. The encouraging fact is that we are headed in the right direction and are moving. More perfect and complete organization and co-operation are needed and must be carefully worked out before the November elections. We must profit by our mistakes. There must be systematic instruction given to our voters in order that they may know just how to vote. The importance of voting intelligently and wisely must be stressed. The necessity of going to the polls and exercising the franchise not only as a privilege but as a duty must be emphasized. THE MONITOR NOT DEFEATED YET. BECAUSE Wood did not carry Nebraska let no one for a moment believe that he is out of the running at the national convention which meets in June in Chicago. He will enter the convention with several delegates from Nebraska as well as from Michigan and other states which other aspirants have carried at the preferential primaries. OUR OWN CANDIDATES: FOUR candidates of our own filed for important positions. They were John Albert Williams for district delegate, F. L. Barnett and M. F. Singleton for the state legislature and Amos P. Scruggs for public defender. John Albert Williams received a few under 4,000 votes, showing that he received practically the unanimous vote of all the colored voters who went to the polls, approximately 1,800, and more than 2,000 from white voters. Washington county county alone, where there are no colored voters, giving him 303. F. L. Barnett polled 2,490 votes and M. F. Singleton 1,938. If the women could have voted for candidates (for the legislature these votes would have been larger, but even many of these votes were due to the women who though they could not vote. Amos P. Scruggs, who was third in the race for public defender, received only 1,402 votes, which is most disappointing, as the women could vote for him. It looks very much as though our peo- LOOK!

We were anxious that all of our candidates should make the best possible showing and for this reason we had hoped that all our candidates would have been given practically the unanimous vote of all our people. With this on exception, the result is gratifying. It should encourage us to groom and present the strongest possible candidates for elective offices next time and to keep everlatingly at it until we win. THE REASON WHY. THE reason why the people of our group throughout the country are almost unanimously for Leonard Wood for president is because we believe he stands uncompromisingly for law and order and for the constitutional rights of all American citizens. This is all we desire. We do not expect, neither do we desire, that he will show our group any special favors. His career, up to the present time, shows him to be a man of decision and fair-mindedness.

Franklin, the audience was treated to a number of plantation melodies, of which Mr. Washington was delighted with in his lifetime. A musical solo was rendered by Miss Bertha Montgomery, Mrs. R. H. Robbins read a paper, "Dr. Washington as a husband." Other participants were: Miss Lula McCant, Mrs. G. Harris, Messrs. Young and Mallory. The address by Attorney Alley W. Lewis, subject, "Booker T. Washington as a Founder and Builder," was a masterly piece, and was easily the feature of the evening. A recitation by Master Rosco Robbins, subject, "I Want to Be Like Booker T. Washington," was well rendered. The program closed with old plantation melodies. Refreshments were served. LOYAL THEATED TO REOPEN UNDER COLORED MANAGEMENT The Loyal theater on Caldwell street, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth street, which has been closed for several years, is being remodeled into a cozy family theater and will be opened soon under colored management.
