GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy WHEN OMAHA CAME TO DENVER Prof. Dan Desdunes' Brass Band of Omaha Thrii's Ten Thousand Music Lovers of Ober at the Civic Center Amphithe. On Wednesday evening (May 26) at 5 o'clock, the Omaha Band of the Chamber of Commerce of Omaha blew into Denver, headed by prof. Dan Desdunes' famous band o. ha, and paraded up Sixteenth street from the depot. When the Negro band marched into Sixteenth street, followed by the Omaha Boosters, the people in the stores and the store-keepers rushed to the sidewalk to see and hear that wonderful band that was playing such thrilling music as they had never heard before in Denver. The pedestrians on the street, homeward bound from thir work, and the shoppers forgot all about home and dinner and stopped. Some followed along up the street to get a little more of that music. Many expressions of surprise and satisfaction were heard all along the line of march. On the corner of Sixteenth and Curtis streets, the busiest corner in the city, quite a large crowd jammed and blocked the sidewalks, and some young girl, in giving expression to her delight, remarked, "Oh ain't nature grand?" The Omaha Boosters are homeward bound from their tour of the West, and if they made the same impression in every city and town that they visited that they made in Denver by this great Negro band, Omaha is certainly well advertised. The climax of the Omaha Boosters' visit came at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday at the civic center amphitheater when Prof. Dan Desdunes and his band gave an open-air concert, which was heard by 10,000 Denverites of all races, young and old. Unfortunately, it was somewhat chilly for this time of year, but the thousands who were there were made warm, and instead of being chilled were thrilled by the sweet and excellent music of this Negro band of Omaha. Mr. Jeff Smith, the cornet soloist, was encored three times in appreciation of his masterful work with the cornet. Mr. Levy Broomfield, who sang a solo, accompanied by the band, was also encored several times. The band and Professor Desdunes were roundly cheered and applauded after each selection. The daily papers mentioned this band as being a jazz band. Yes, it is, and then some. Their classical selections were above the average and have never been surpassed by any band in Denver or that ever came to Denver. Their jazz music is unequalled; they have one tune, the spirit, the swing and everything that spells music. We take off our hats to Omaha and congratulate her upon having such a musical genius and band director as Prof. Dan Desdunes. Come again, boys, any old time.—The Colorado Statesman. (By Associated Negro Press.) Rochester, N. Y., June 10. The Armstrong association through its industrial secretary, A. L. Manning, has just issued a statement on the "Migrant Negro" which outlines the causes for the migration of the Negroes from the south to the north. Mr. Manning says that the most disappointing thing to the south is the failure of the migrants to return to the former homes. It was confidently predicted that one winter in the north would be sufficient to discourage them and that they would be writing and telegraphing for tickets for home. But, instead the recreants found themselves jobs, places to eat and sleep and then began to fit himself into the new order of things. In the earlier period of migration the newcomers were of the poorer, uneducated and the more or less irresponsible class. Since then, however, the better educated and more thrifty members have been coming and the situation has consequently, improved.

Prominent and Highly Esteemed Plaqueminian Elected Delegate - at- Large to Republican National Convention—Choice Considered Excellent One. CLEAN-HANDED AND TRUSTWORTHY MAN PLAQUEMINE, La., June 1.—At the republican state convention held in Alexandria, Eli W. Sorrell, of Plaquemine, was elected one of the delegates at large to the national convention to be held at Chicago in June. While this was not altogether unexpected, since it was known the erstwhile Lily White faction of the party had settled upon him as a delegate, it was, nevertheless, an honor worthy bestowed since there is probably not a more clean-handed and trustworthy colored man in the state than Eli Sorrell, whose reputation as a good citizen in this parish could well be envied by many white men. In years gone by Sorrell held several good positions of honor and trust under the federal government, and was at one time vice president of the board of trustees of Southern university. The board consists of four colored and eight white men. Sorrell was appointed twice by Governor Blanchard and since by Governors Sanders and Hall. JOHN S. DURHAM WILLS $150,000 TO HIS WIDOW Philadelphia, June 10.—The will of John S. Durham, the first colored man to be graduated from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and a Phila- adelphian by birth, was admitted to probate recently by Register Sheehan. Mr. Durham left an estate valued at $150,000 to his widow, Constance Mc Kenzie Durham. He died in London October 16, 1919. Dr. Durham was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science at the university in 1886, and later entered the diplomatic service. He was consul to San Domingo in 1890, and later was made United States minister to Hayti by President Harrison. LAYING FOOD SHORTAGE (By Associated Negro Press.) Boston, Mass., June 10—Refusal of Negroes to return to the farms in the south is said to be a large contributing factor to the threatening food shortage now impending in all sections of the country. A movement is to start here that will be used as one of the means to induce the south to change its attitude toward its Negro population. It is hoped that will be an effective means to forestall the threatened "famine." INVADING EXCLUSIVE (By Associated Negro Press.) New York, N.

OMAHA. NEBRASKA. JUNE 10. 1920 Virginia Theological Seminary and College Has Most Impressive Graduation Exercises in History of Institution. PROMINENT TEACHER GIVES PRACTICAL ADVICE (Special to The Monitor by Charles Stewart.) LYNCHBURG, Va., June 1.—At the commencement exercises of the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, this afternoon Dean Kelly Miller of Howard university, discussed "Manhood," giving some good practical advice to the young people, pointing them the road to the goal through training of the mind. It was the largest commencement in the history of the institution, and people were here from all parts of the state, and a large number from other states. One of the features was the unveiling of a monument erected in honor of the first president of the institution, Gregory Willis Hayes. This was done by the alumni association. Dr. A. A. Galvin, chairman of the trustee board, delivered an address introducing the first theological graduate, Dr. W. T. Hall, of Philadelphia, Pa., a successful pastor and an intimate friend of Dr. Hayes for over 25 years. The Rev. Dr. S. T. Eldridge of Petersburg, delivered the baccalaureate sermon Sunday, May 30, using as his theme "Building for God." He declared that in this world man's duty was to build character, not alone for time, but for eternity. Tonight thirty-six received diplomas from the various departments of the college, and the address was delivered by Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard university. Among other things, he said. "The institution of slavery placed all manly virtues in the possession of the white race and suppressed the Negro below the plane of noble instincts and qualities. It was perfectly logical under this conception that the black man should be exploited for the honor and glory of his white lord and master but under the new democratic conception every man is supposed to develop and exercise th best powers within him for the enoblement of his own nature. Man is the greatest thing in the world. He is the crowning effort of creative energy. All of the forces of the universe ultimate in him. The lowest man in the world is worth more than all the world besides man. The chief aim of education is to emphasize on the recipient the potentiality, the dignity, even the divinity of manhood. "If through the process of education we can inculcate this idea into the minds of the Negro youth, our problem will be on the way to solution. All freedom first exists in the state of mind. Fred Douglass was liberated the moment he read the Columbia Orator, which inspired in him freedom of mind. The removing of the shackles from his body was only an incident." ROLAND HAYES IN ENGLAND (Re: Associated Newspaper) (By Associated Negro Press.) London, England, June 10—Roland W. Hayes, the noted Negro tenor, arrived here last Saturday from the United States. Mr. Hayes has outlined a concert tour of the British Isles, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and portions of Africa. He expects to make an extensive study of the origin of Negro music while in Africa. He will be absent from America about two years.

Mildred also gets a big silver cup, awarded by the war department, as a prize to each district winner, and the cash prize of $25 offered by the Atlanta Kiwanis club. NORFOLK CITIZENS FORM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Norfolk, Va., June 10.-Industrial and commercial activities have greatly increased in the city and business men are now endeavoring to organize a Chamber of Commerce. Plans for the organization were discussed at a mass meeting held under the auspices of the Norfolk Business Men's League. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT DROWNS Victor Williams, Assistant Scout Commander and Choir Boy at St. Philip the Deacon, Succumbs to Cramp and Drowns at Carter Lake. VICTOR Williams, 18-year-old high school student, was the first victim of drowning this year. He and three other boys went swimming in Carter Lake near the auto speedway Monday and Victor, who was taken suddenly with cramps, sank in eight feet of water and was drowned. His body was recovered Tuesday and taken to the Jones & Reed undertaking parlor. The lad was well beloved by all who knew him and while in the city was under the guardianship of Mr. South of South & Thompson's cafe. He was assistant scout commander and choir boy at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. His relatives in Kansas City, Mo., were notified. SEEIN' THINGS AT NIGHT IN ALEXANDRIA, VA. Well, well, Alexandria, Va., spent one sleepless night—all because they had tried to lynch a colored prisoner. They compelled the humble and compliant jailer and sheriff to allow them to search the jail. They did not find the Negro; he had been taken away. And then some one phoned from Washington that a mob of two hundred Negroes were planning to cross the Potomac and pay Alexandria a visit. Alexandria immediately lost its nerves. To go after one Negro handcuffed and jailed was to be a picnic. But the idea of two hundred Negroes unhandcuffed and armed, was panic. There was the greatest excitement. All the town was stirred. Soldiers were sent for—soldiers can always be had when the white mob gets into distress. Every sort of weapon was displayed, from a pick-axe to a machine gun. The streets resounded with the tramp of arms and autos bristled with artillery. Alexandria kept sleepless eyes turned on the bridge-heads of the Potomoc, and jumped every time a leaf rustled or a meteor flashed. Now, why was Alexandria so tolerant of the white mob and so afraid of the mere suggestion of a Negro mob? The nervous state of these white people at the prospect of a Negro mob much smaller than their own, ought to cause them to reflect on what must be the condition of the helpless colored folk when white mobs are holding the streets and every black face is for the time outlawed. The colored people have no soldiers to help them. This white mob had outraged the state and ravished civilization by taking possession of the jail and upsetting law. But this same state, which had just been outraged, immediately rushed soldiers to the aid of these men when the mere imaginary ghost of a Negro counter-mob filled the air. But the mob got at least one night's dose of its own medicine. It suffered one whole night of "preparedness" and of real "watchful waiting" and wakeful watching. The Negroes did not come. They had never planned to come. So far in the history of the United States Negroes have only mobbed and rioted on the defensive. As a group they always observe the law, except when they are forced back through despair to the more primary law of self-defense. "The wicked fleeth when no man pursueth." Yes, and although the wicked flee when no man pursues, Alexandria proves that they can make much better time when they at least think that somebody is about to pursue. WILLIAM PICKENS. New York City. GRADUATES OF CENTRAL HIGH Among the graduates of Central High who will be given their diplomas at the city auditorium Saturday night are Sabert Hanger, Ruth Jones and Dorothy Elizabeth Williams.

DUBOIS PLAYERS PLEASE LARGE AUDIENCE Local Dramatic Club Presents "Testing Fire" and Wins Well Deserved Commendation—Entire Cast Does Excellent Work. Brandeis theatre was filled with a record attendance last Thursday night when the DuBois Players, a local dramatic organization, presented a melodrama, entitled "Testing Fire," under the direction of Andrew T. Reed and the management of Mrs. James G. Jewell for the benefit of St. John's A. M. E. church. The acting was excellent, and the play was well staged. So well was each character adapted to the impersonator and so proficiently did each act his part that it is difficult to single out any member of the cast as a star. The scene is laid in France, during the late war, and the prologue opens at the cottage of John Renaud, a soldier, near the firing line; scene second of which being the camp of a regiment behind the lines. The play proper, which comprises four acts, centers around the Chauteau de Aubeterre and the Hotel D'Aubeterre. The star role, that of John Renaud, was taken by John Otis Wood, and was artistically done; Madeline Renaud, his wife, and Adrienne, their little daughter, were impersonated by Mrs. Cecelia W. Jewell and Miss Ruth Washington, who took their respective parts with excellent taste and poise. Miss Washington in her role as a child of eight years deserves special mention. John R. Lemme as Duge D'Aubeterre was made for this part. He took it well, and was ably supported by Mrs. Fannie Russell, who impersonated the haughty Duchess D'Aubeterre. Mrs. Pearl Alexander, as Adrienne, age 20, looked and acted the part to perfection. As Count de Morny, the villain, Andrew T. Reed was at his best and divided honors with the star. Cecil Alexander, as Dennis O'Rourke the Irish valet, was fine. Corinne Thomas made a good Valentine de Morny and Jesse L. Peoples, as Viscount de Langley; Eva Peoples as college matron; Edward Turner, as Captain Wolfe and Gerald Edwards, in the dual parts of Joseph a servant, and sergeant of the guard, all sustained their parts well. It was an excellent and well-balanced cast. No better amateur acting has ever been seen in this city. It would have done credit to professionals. Interspersed with the play were musical numbers by the Harmony and Excelsior quartets; Roscoe Miller; a violin solo by Macoe Williams, and a solo by Iena Mays-Curry, all of which were artistic and pleasing.

Cleveland, Ohio., June 10.—A recent canvass of the colored men and women holding lucrative positions in the city government reveals that the race is drawing about $350,000 annually in salaries from the city.

The schools are now being conducted in the churches of this district. Some stones of life should not only be screened, they should be covered. LIFTING LIFT, TOO! INDIAN CLAIMS RICH OIL MAN'S ESTATE William Cowan Lowery, Who Was Generally Considered a Negro But Who is of Indian and White Parentage, Claims to Be the Son of Late President of Standard Oil Company of Indiana. ALLEGES CAN PROVE CLAIM TO SHARE OF $3,000,000 NEELEYVILLE, Mo., June 10.—William Cowan Lowery, who says he is the son of the late William F. Cowan, president of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, by Cowan's common law marriage with a full-blooded Indian woman from the Choc-taw and Creek tribes, affirms he is certain he can prove his claim to a share, at least of Cowan's $3,000,000 estate. Lowery lives in the Negro district of Neelyville, and with his dark complexion and straight black hair has been regarded as a Negro since he came here a year ago. According to Lowery's story, Cowan met his mother—who was traveling with a tent show in Illinois—forty-two years ago, and they lived together as man and wife for several years. His mother is now dead. "I met my father twice," he said, "the first time right after my mother's death, when I went to see him because she told me to. I told him about my mother and he gave me $500. In 1916 I went to Chicago to see him and told him I wanted to buy a farm. He asked me how much I would need and I told him about $6,000. He finally gave me $4,675 and told me to go down to Neelyville, saying I might strike oil. At the same time he said to me, 'I will make provision for you in my will.'" Until his mother told him, just before she died, he says, he was ignorant of his father's identity. Lowery married a Negro woman, who died in Neelyville on November 13 last. They had two sons, one of whom, Abraham, was killed in France. Colored Planter Has Several Large Producing Oil Wells on His Land From Which He Will Receive Princely Royalties—Charles Jackson Becomes Rich Overnight. SOME OTHERS ARE EQUALLY FORTUNATE SHREVEPORT. La., June 10. Charley Jackson is a millionaire. His little farm, located in 24-21-8, in Claiborne parish, now has many producing wells on it, some of them being among the largest producers in the Homer field. Two of the wells were drilled by George Baird, each having a production of approximately 5,000 barrels, and the Louisiana Oil & Refining Corporation, the Arkansas Natural Gas company and others have some of the best producers that have been drilled in the shallow sand in the Homer field. Still others are being drilled, and no dry holes have yet resulted on Jackson's land. This is only one instance of the sudden transposition of a Negro from the class of a poor farmer to a millionaire oil man. Two others can be mentioned in connection with the development of the wonderful field in Claiborne parish. One of these is William Chatman, who is drawing a good fat check each month from royalties for oil produced on his land, and William Hardy, another Negro, upon whose land the rost Oil company has four wells, which it is reported were recently sold for $1,500,000.

It calls for the signing of another proclamation not by the president of the republic, but by in- dividuals of our group. We refer now to those members of our race who are in slavery to degrading and degraded habits and appetites which are staying our progress and holding us back as a people. They are not vices and habits peculiar to our peo- ple, for vice and crime and sin draw no color line, although men may strive hard to make it appear so. Drunkenness, gambling, adultery, for- nification, lying, dishonesty and such like are not racial sins nor have our people any monopoly of them. Un- fortunately we have our share of these sins, and we ought to realize that there are always to be found evil-minded persons who would en- courage us in things which degrade and injure rather than in those which elevate and benefit. ‘That this is true must be realized by any thoughtful person who studies social conditions in almost any given community, urban or rural. Moral conditions in all large centres of population are far from ideal. This is due, not so much to moral turpitude perhaps, as to ignorance, carelessness and indiffer- ence. But be that as it may, we all ought to clearly understand that by yielding to things which degrade us we are not injuring only ourselves, or those bound to us by ties of blood, but the race group with which we are primarily identified and then that larger group of all mankind to which we belong. We would that we could make our people, all our people, real- ize the importance of breaking away from evil practices of all kinds and rising to that high plane of living which alone can exalt a people. Too many, would there none among any people, of our group and we are pleading fo rand speaking to our own race now, are addicted to gambling, licentiousness and evil living. Eman- cipation from such slavery is needed and rests wholly with ourselves. Shall we be slaves or freemen? PROBLEM OR PRIVILEGE. Poo of our large northern and western cities our brethren and kinsmen from the Southland have come and are coming. They are a kind, warm-hearted folk. There is, in some respects a marked contrast be- tween them, and those of us who for many generations have had our habi- tation in the north, where conditions, while not ideal, have given us better educational advantages and opportun- ities for progress and development. Let us confess it, with shame and full purpose of amendment that we have not used our superior advantages as fully as we should have done. But we have had them and have profited more or less by them. There is, there- fore, a difference, speaking of the masses, which is readily discernible. But those who have come and are coming are in the main, industrious, simple-minded God-fearing people. ‘They are our brethren, our people. Wo should give them kindly and cor- dial welcome. We should not affect ony superior airs towards them, none but a brainless snob will do that, but sincerely and kindly cultivate them and let them realize that they are among: friends who want to help them in every way possible to become help- fel and substantial citizens. ‘They con helo us fust as much as we can heln them for unselfish service is re- cinroesl. ‘here are two viewpoints feom which we may regard our south- ern brethren who have been so large- . Monitor desires to again re- spectfully, but insistently, call the attention of the city commission- ers to the fact that the sections of the city in which the greater majority of our people live abound in unpaved streets. Moreover, much of this ter- ritory lies well within the mile and a half limit in which you do not have to ask for the consent of the prop- erty owners to order pavement. Give us paved streets. This talk about shortage of funds is buncombe. Miles of unpaved streets within two miles of the city hall is not very compli- mentary to Omaha. AND THAT PLAYGROUND. A™. by the way, Mr. Falconer, Mr. Towl, et al., when are you going to give Omaha that much- needed playground between Paul and Seward and Twenty-first and Twenty- second streets? Are you going to wait until those who are now babes in arms have reached the voting age? The Monitor was shown beautiful blueprints of the proposed grounds nearly three years ago. Beautiful plans they were, too, on PAPER, but please get busy on the GROUND. LOUDNESS._ ° you know we have one among many characteristics that we would do well to get rid of and we can do it, if we just watch ourselves and try. Do you know what it is? It is loudness. We talk so loud on the streets and in public places. We seem to attract everybody's attention. Suppose we all try to be just a little less noicy. Let’s try. Say it again, “Not so loud, please.” It will be a hard habit for some of us to break, but we can all do it.

Year by year the colored people are increasing their business activ- ities, the amount of money invested in business enterprises and the num- ber of persons who are employed to give their time to the management of commercial concerns. In the city of Memphis, Tennessee, it is said that a chain of co-operative stores owned by people of our race is being carried on with success and a growing pat- ronage. In the states of Georgia and Florida several large stock companies have recently been organized among Negroes to deal in groceries and gen- eral merchandise. Many of these en- terprises are backed and financed largely by Negro banks. One of the most encouraging developments in our world of business is that our peo ple are not confining themselves to a few lines of business but that they are now engaging in every avenue of trade.

There are a number of cities in the United States with a population of colored people from thirty to one hun- eee thousand. The patronage of that number of persons for food, clothing and other necessities of life will ‘amount in the aggregate to many ‘thousand dollars a month., There are open doors of opportunity for col- ‘ored men with capital and business ‘ability to make money and serve their people. The race also has a chance ‘to build up enterprises that are al- ‘ready established and make them ‘strong and powerful. We must make our own leaders in every department of life. We have already developed distinguished leaders in almost all the professions, and now the next thing should be to make business men of standing and influence in every com- munity. This ean be done by giving ‘our patronage to those of our race who are already in business and by encouraging others to venture out into new lines. | There is considerable idle money ‘among our people that could be safely and wisely invested in the business ‘companies of our men who have had the faith and courage to venture into these new but proper understandings. This will not only enable them to suc- ceed, but to do a bigger business. When the Negro race shall have large mercantile establishments, great de- partment stores, extensive manufac- turing plants and sound and power- ful financial institutions, the progress and the interests of our people will be more generally recognized and protected than ever before. Each one can do their part. Begin now to work for bigger business for the race. —The Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. psd DEFENSE | FUND COMMISSION | “Help Us Fimish the Job.” L. H.

We are glad to note that more and more interest is being awakened in our cause. The attendance on last Sunday showed some increase. Though not large, it was representative. The pastor is coming in touch every day with Presbyterians, some of whom have temporarily taken up their abode with other churches. The fact that they were not satisfied outside of some church indicates the vitality of their religion. Now that their own church is being organized here, we trust that they may see their way clear to come home. It was a pleasure to have Mrs. Hutten and her friend, Miss Hunt, with us Sunday evening.

The bill limits congressional pay to $30 a month, for the time on duty, less allotments, insurance, payments on Liberty bonds and court-martial fines. Issue clothing is to be allowed the members, although it must be ill-fitting and renewable at rare intervals. Rations at 52 cents a day will be allowed, and one-tenth ounce of Bull Durham daily. Travel in third-class coaches or box cars is provided, and each man will be in his seat at the capitol at 7 a.m. Kitchen police and fatigue details will be provided from the rank and file of membership. After enacting this bill, the congressmen are invited to kill the soldiers' bonus. NEWS OF TROOP 23, BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scout movement is growing in favor in Omaha. Troop 23, Andrew T.
