The Monitor

CALL DULUTH LYNCHING DELIBERATE MUK MONITOR representative interviewed several of the employees and representatives of the John Robinson shows, which gave performances here Monday. The colored men with the show positively refused to talk. They all seemed to be under the shadow of the Duluth tragedy. The white employees were not quite so reticent. The circus management was most courteous to The Monitor and cheerfully furnished us free access and opportunity to talk with any of their people, when it was learned that The Monitor was a colored newspaper. The management felt keenly the embarrassment in which their shows have been placed by the accusation made against the men in their employ, "three of whom were deliberately murdered by the Duluth mob," as one gentleman put it. The Monitor interviewed from the laborers to the highest officials, none of whom, however, desired their names used, but gave us their names which we have on file. The unantious opinion was that the boys, for the youngest was 18 and the oldest 20 murdered by the mob were innocent. One of the under bosses who had charge of the men said, "They were the most innocent set of boys I had ever met. I know they were not guilty of that crime." Our representative was shown how the work is done. Each gang is under a boss, who are white men, the stations and posts are all numbered and a certain number of men work from station to station, each man having his specific work to do. If any man is absent he is missed and his absence stops the work of the rest. It all moves like clock work. The foreman said, "it was impossible for any number of our men to be away from their post unnoticed at this busy time. At the hour claimed it was our busiest time. The men are idle in the afternoon between the first and second shows; but as soon as the second show begins we begin to tear down and load out and our entire gang of laborers are busy, each gang being under a sub boss, and each man having his number, station and work, you yourself can see how practically impossible it is for any of these boys to be off the job." One of the officials said: "The girl who made the accusation was brought out. I was present. The boys were inspected by her and she did not identify one of them. As to the 'confession' made by Clayton that he had a revolver, he was an ignorant sort of a chap, and after he had been brutally beaten by the police and promised to be set free, if he would own up to having a gun, terrorized, the boy, to escape further brutality, "confessed. That was the 'confession.' The whole thing was outrageous." The Monitor desires to thank the circus officials for their courtesy and they will appreciate the fact that we have in no way violated the confidence placed in us. WOMEN WILL ATTEND INTER- NATIONAL MEET IN NORRWAY (By Associated Negro Press.) (BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS, Buffalo, N. Y., July 15.—The National Council of Women will hold their international meeting in Norway this year. This is the greatest organization of women in the world. The representatives of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs are: Mrs. Mary Talbet, Buffalo, N. Y.; and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute. Mrs. Washington is prevented from attending the meeting on account of her health, and Dr. Mary Waring of Chicago has been appointed in her place. The organization delegates will receive diplomatic attention and will be welcomed by the crowned heads. ATTEMPTS ASSAULT; Jersey City, N. J., July 15.—A verdict of $750 was awarded Mrs. Kathleen Golden of Romains avenue against Solomon Sherman (white), a painter of 512 Jackson avenue, for injuries sustained when the man attempted to criminally assault her. THE MONITOR BISHOP VERNON WELCOMED AS AN OMAHA VISITOR Eloquent and Successful Educator Recently Elevated to the Espicopate Preaches and Lectures at St. Johns A. M. E. Church-Welcomed by Large Audience. SOON TO SAIL FOR HIS SOUTH AFRICAN FIELD THE Right Reverend William Tecumseh Vernon, D.D., who is best known as an educator for his splendid work as president of Western University, Quindaro, Kan., which position he held for many years, prior to his appointment as registrar of the treasury from which he went into active pastoral work spent in Mississippi and Tennessee, and who was recently elected to the bishopric and assigned to Capetown, South Africa, was a welcome Omaha visitor this week. He was the guest of the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church for whom he preached Sunday night. Monday night Bishop Vernon who is a gifted and eloquent speaker, delivered a lecture before a large and appreciative audience at the same church. He dwelt upon his experiences in the south, the causes for the large migration from the south which he predicts will continue with advantages to both sections of the country, inasmuch as it will strengthen the Negro industrially; financially and politically in the north, and compel better wages and educational privileges and justice in the south. He cited examples of the new up-standing Negro who has come into being through the world war, and drew a striking illustration between the worm and the butterfly as portraying the sense of freedom after confinement which the race now feels. He traced the historic struggle of men for liberty throughout the ages, and stressed the value of protest against injustice in the struggle of men for freedom. He paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty of the common people who could be depended upon to support worthy leaders. He pointed out important factors in racial development which depend upon us and not upon others, among these are righteousness truthfulness, sobriety, education, belief in racial capacity and the support of our own business enterprises and professional men. It was a lecture-sermon inspiring and uplifting. Dr. L.L.E. Britt, one of Dr Vernon's "boys", whom he encouraged to study medicine, was master of ceremonies. Indeed, it was surprising the number of Bishop Vernon's "boys" whom he had known at Western University were in the audience. The speaker was briefly introduced by the Rev. John Albert Williams, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, and a friend of many years' standing. At the close of the lecture the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John's, thanked Bishop Vernon for his splendid and inspiring message and invited him to come again upon his return from South Africa, for which point he expects to sail with Mrs. Vernon in the early autumn. YOUNG ORATOR WINS NEW HAVEN PRIZE New Haven, Conn.—H. W. Mosely, Jr., a sophomore student in the high school here, was the only colored contest in the annual oratorical contest of the Theta Sigma fraternity of the high school, held recently in the high school auditorium. He was awarded second price of $50 in gold, his declamation being Frederick Douglass" Free Speech in Boston," an address delivered by Douglass in Boston in 1841. Besides Mosely there were two seniors and two juniors, a senior winning first prize, who also delivered one of Douglass' addresses. Mosely is the first Negro to enter this contest, therefore he has the distinction of being the first member of the race to win one of the prizes. CHICAGO NEWSPAPER MEN FORM ORGANIZ CHICAGO, July 1'.The newspaper men of Chicago have formed an organization to create a better understanding, and to work unitedly in he promotion of the varied interests of the race. The organization was the outgrowth of a dinner at the Idewil Hotel, given by Cary B. Lewis, managing editor of the Chicago Defender. CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JULY 15, 1920 A LARGE COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION The Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, With an Authorized Capitalization of $500,000, incorporated Under the Laws of the State of Nebraska, and Manufacturing Pharmaceuticals, Drugs, Medicines, Toilet Articles and Other Lines of Household Necessities. "Dentlo," an Anti-Pyorrhea Tooth Paste; "Kaffir Kream," an Ideal Skin Food, and "Sultox," a Blood Antiseptic Among Its Leading Products. SOME FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY, ITS PLANS, ITS INCORPORATORS AND OFFICERS. KAFFIR CHEMICAL LABORATORIES KAFFIR CHEMICAL LABORATORIES Chemical Laboratories, where "Dentio," "Kaffir Kream," "Sultox," "Rem" and other products are manufactured and compounded. The laboratories occupy the third floor, the second floor is rented to business and professional men and the first floor is used for administrative and business offices of the company. The basement is used for store rooms for raw material, bottles, jars, boxes, etc. needed in the manufacturing and shipping of products. When visitors are shown through the plant they invariably express surprise at the quantity of material and manufactured products on hand. As a matter of fact the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories is a great commercial enterprise well-stocked and well-equipped for doing a big business in products for which there is an almost unlimited demand. Moreover this company has the advantage of being the first of its kind to be organized and conducted by colored people in this country. If you are not yet familiar with Kaffir products then the words used in the beginning of this article mean nothing to you. Naturally, you want to know what "Dentlo," Kaffir Kream" "Sul-tox" and "Rem" are. Well, "Dentlo" is the best tooth paste ever put on the market. That's what the company claims for it, and that is what customers who use it say. So it must be so. But it is more than an ordinary tooth paste. It is pyorrhea preventative. Pyorrhea is one of the most dreaded of tooth diseases and so any tooth paste that will prevent or check pyorrhea is a boon to humanity and when its merits are known the demand for "Dentlo" alone will tax the present capacity of the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories. "Dentlo" is being manufactured daily in this building. "Kaffir Kream" is an ideal skin food; not only is it a vanishing cream, so necessary to every well bred woman's toilet, but it is a skin food which makes the skin smooth and soft, supplying it with the ingredients it needs. This was the first article put out by the Kaffir Chemcal Laboratories and from which he corporation takes its name. The demand for this product is constantly increasing and it is being manufactured now and sold to the trade and general public. "Sultox" is a blood anti-septic that acts as a stomach tonic and destroys the poison induced by auto-intoxication to which so many diseases are traceable. It is an aid to digestion, nourishes and enriches the blood, and consequently tones up the whole system. "Rem" is an anti-pholligistic compound for external inflammation and fever. These are but a few of the useful products that the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories are putting on the market. That upon which the company counts most heavily, however, is its pyrrhea treatment, which consists of a liquid, a paste and tablets. All told the Laboratories are now putting out eleven products for which there is a demand and a ready market. In addition to these they have formulas for 45 other products which they can put out without the introduction of any other machinery than that with which the Laboratories are already equipped. This will be done as rapidly as possible. From this one can see the great possibilities which are before this unique commercial enterprise. MISS MADREE PENN, President.

The lifting refrain persisted in the mind of a girl who stood irresolutely upon the London pavement one spring morning, when even that dingy city was being afforded a glimpse of blue sky. At the corner a barrel organ was grinding out its tunes to appreciative groups of dancing children. Well, why not go down to Kew? It really wasn't "far from London," and now that the war was over she would soon leave England for America and the opportunity would be gone. With sudden decision she hailed a passing bus and started on the journey to Kew with the haunting refrain still in her mind. Lillacs, that was the magic word. Lillacs, white and purple, how lovingly they clustered about the little New England home. Her eyes clouded with a sudden mist. She saw again two figures standing by the bushes, a lithe, sturdy lad in khaki, and a girl in a illac frock who raised shy, adoring eyes to meet his. The heavy odors of the white and purple glory with which he had heaped her arms filled the air during those last sacred moments before his departure for France. There were caresses and promises, but few tears, for the girl was one of a race who unflinchingly sent their best to fight for liberty under the banners of the United States, and the man would have scorned to show emotion. After his departure she had written him again and again. At first the replies were received as regularly as could be expected, then had come silence, unbroken silence. All attempts to locate him had been in vain and the corroding agony of suspense grew upon her. No one had heard and his name appeared on no prisoner or casualty list. Finally she had volunteered as a Red Cross nurse for foreign service, and there found partial surcease from personal sorrow. Now her work was over and she was going home. Going home, to what? With a start she came to herself. The bus had reached Kensington, and Kew Gardens lay before her. She alighted and waiked slowly along. The birds were singing and their sweet notes were all that broke the silence. The peace of it stole over her and she sank down on a bench, half-hidden among the illiac bushes, and gave herself up to bitter-sweet memories. A man wearing the silver bars of a first lieutenant in the service of the United States stood beside a London bookstall, idly turning the leaves of a book of poems. His eyes caught the following lines: "Come down to Kew in illiac time, in illiac time. He read absorbedly to the end of the poem, then re-read it. Turning with sudden decision he asked the bookseller how he could reach Kew. The bookseller gave him the necessary directions and advised him to go by all means to see the famed beauty of the gardens. The young man thanked him and purchased the book of poems. The next bus that rumbled along toward Kensington found him on its top, immersed in deep thought. His mind was far away in a little New England village which he had not seen for over a year. There stood a farm house with clustering white and lavender lilac bushes, and beside them a girl in a frock to match, her laughing face bent over the lovely blooms. He swung off the bus at Kew and strolled down the winding paths, enjoying the rustic solitude to the utmost. He turned a corner and came upon the illacs filling the air with magic sweetness. This was familiar, this was home, and all that was needed to complete the picture was the girl, looking up at him with the lovelight shining in the depths of her eyes. Still held by the enchantment of his dream, he turned and saw a girl sitting on one of the garden benches with bowed head. As he looked she raised her head and he saw her face. As recognition came he swiftly stretched out his arms and she flew to them like a homing bird, too happy to be surprised. So swiftly had the dreams of both become reality that there was no consciousness of abrupt transition. One hour later a squirrel skipped out from behind the bushes and cocked his head to one side. He was watching this couple who were so close together on the park bench, so quiet, save for the low murmur of voices and soft laughter. The man had explained the long silence in a way which increased the girl's love and trust. He had been on a secret service mission of great danger, which had made it impossible for him to communicate with anyone. He had since been promoted and cited for bravery. Then came the story of their appearance in the garden, and he unwrapped the book of poems. Two heads came close together and the listening squirrel heard words which sounded strangely like this: "Come down to Kew in illac time in "Come down to New in illac time, in illac time, It isn't far from London." And the man, the girl, and the squirrel all agreed with the poet that it was an excellent thing to do. It isn't far from London." It isn't far from London."

LAKE STREET COMMUNITY SERVICE SUSPENDS ACTIVITIES By Geo. H. W. Bullock, Director. On account of the lack of sufficient funds with which to operate, the board of directors of the Lake Street Community Service met Thursday evening, July 8th, and voted to close the work. For some time this organization has been operating in our city. It was financed entirely by its New York headquarters up until February 1 and until June 1 that office furnished two nationally paid workers something not done for any similar work in the entire country. For nowhere has national headquarters given two workers four months after it withdrew its general support. This was done in the hope that at least the colored people of Omaha would raise their own budget and keep the work going in their own interest. The New York office had assurance from the old War Camp Committee, headed by Mr. S. S. Caldwell, that this would be done and it was upon the strength of this assurance that it lent two of its workers to the colored and about five to the white people. This Committee made up a budget for the white and colored works amounting to $23,240 for the operation of the works for one year beginning February 1, $8,240 of which was to be devoted to the colored department. Plans were made for the raising of this money and the colored people were told not to make any attempt to raise any part of their quota until the whites had raised theirs, "so that," as the chairman put it, "the white people could thoroughly convince the colored people of their genuine interest in them by doing their part." In the meantime the colored directors began forming their committee, but took no definite action toward the raising of money, until May 1, at which time they were informed by Mr. Caldwell that the money which was being raised by them was not to be devoted to the colored Community Service at all, but to the support of a labor bureau which was to be operated by the colored Commercial Club. By this date there had been debts already accumulated to the amount of $771.69, not including furniture. Many of these bills were far past due when the colored committee took over the work and the creditors pressed them immediately upon this committee to settle at the risk of serious embarrassment. All of these have been paid at the date of this writing except $80 in addition to their current obligations. When the ecommittee was informed that the colored work was to receive none of the money then being raised by the white committee they were very much at a loss as to what to do, knowing how difficult it would be to get money from people to pay debts for which they were not responsible. They knew that they had to face the difficulty of persuading people to subscribe to the support of a work whose program was entirely new and with whose policy the people generally were so little conversant. However, they shouldered the task and have carried it on thus far. In next week's issue of this paper we shall publish the financial report in full. We trust that every colored person who has been at all interested in this work will get a copy of this paper in order that you may see exactly how the money we have raised has been spent. I feel it my imperative duty as director to say a few words in defence of this organization because I feel a more or less personal responsibility for its conduct. Within the last few days there have come to me some criticisms concerning the conduct by the children in the halls. One person complained that the organization had not done anything worth while. All of these criticisms have come since the work has closed. First let us see whether we did our duty in giving to the closed organization those things which were needed to keep it open and whether we put our finger to the wheel to help it to accomplish those things which we say it ought to have done and did not do. If you have a horse and don't feed him, it would be foolish to blame him for not doing the work required. The same rule works in Community Service. We have published time and again our program which we contemplated and have made personal appeals to you for your support in order that we might carry it out. Our records do not show where a single one of these four critics has given one penny to the support of the work. We find also that only one of them has ever visited the Community Service except in connection with some club to which they belonged, which club or organization used the community halls for which its pays a monthly expense of over $500, without cost at all to the club. Some of them have children for whom we have provided recreation to the best of our means. We confess our shortcomings. We have done our best with the means given us. We hardly believe our critics would have done more --- under the same circumstances. But we are not able to very deeply impress ourselves with the criticisms which have come to us when our records show the critics have neither morally nor financially supported us. "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." He that is among you who feels that he has done his full duty to ameliorate the condition of which he complains, let him first cast a stone at the work. We have tried to do our duty by our city and people. Have you done yours? Let us not forget that all of these children that come to our care are not members of the most cultured families, but are nevertheless your children and must be served. Community Service would be deprived of its usefulness if it attempted to discriminate. We came here to render service to those who need our services. But all of these children are a part of our community and race and we as workers have drawn as much help as we could from an entirely disinterested source to aid you in doing a work for yourselves which has no substitute in Omaha. If we are so far in advance of almost every city, town and hamlet in this country that we don't need this service, then we are justified in closing. IT HAS WELL SERVED THE PEOPLE Since March 10th, the date of the present directors' administration, these two humble rooms alone have Dentl Use De Kaffi THE MONITOR served 9,478 boys and girls, men and women in some way. If these had been different persons on every occasion, we would have served the entire colored population of Omaha. During the four months 24 different clubs and organizations have had the use of these rooms absolutely free of any charge. These organizations represent over 5,000 colored people. Our records show that only three of those clubs have subscribed to its support. These subscriptions total $129. Thus far we have received subscriptions from 57 persons and organizations together amounting to about $1,300. This includes all efforts such as tag days and sales. Of this amount we have received from all sources $1,130.77. In a later statement we shall publish our records. We fail therefore to see the reason for the close of this service. We know it can be run by the colored people themselves, if they go about it in a business-like way. We believe the people of this city will eventually reopen the work. We feel keenly the mistake that we have made in allowing it to close. But if it is to be closed, fellow citizens, for heaven's sake let us not go about excusing our mistake by hurling criticisms at a work whose shortcomings are the direct result of our negligence.

STAND BY DR. BUNDY DOCTOR LE ROY BUNDY, who was given a life sentence for his alleged activity in defending his people against the blood thirsty East St. Louis mob, but who is now out on $50,000 bail given by Chicago colored men, pending a review of his case by the Supreme Court of Illinois in October will be in Omaha next week. He will tell his story, of the awful scene of tell his story of the awful scenes of shames anything in the annals of Turkish atrocities. The congressional committee which investigated the East St. Louis horror, the report of which can be found in the Congressional Record, said that no colored man could expect justice in the midst of those conditions. That report is enough to make every American hang his head in shame. If Dr. Bundy was active in advising his people to arm for their defense against the mobs which, unrestrained by the authorities were terrorizing men, women and children at intervals during June and July, The Monitor believes he did his duty and would have been less than a man if he had not done so. When the authorities fail to protect citizens and do not even try to protect them as investigation discloses was the fact at East St. Louis, then the only recourse that citizens have is to defend themselves. This we understand was precisely what Dr. Bundy did. Our people everywhere should stand unitedly behind Doctor Bundy and let the United States know that flendish mobs cannot dash out the brains of Negro babies against curb stones as was done in East St. Louis and throw children into burning houses to be burned to crisp and we do nothing to prevent it. Let us stand by Doctor Bundy and exhaust every legal resource to see to it that Dr. Bundy is freed from the charge of "conspiracy to commit murder." The blood of the 11 black victims, many of them babes in arms, helpless children and women, of the East St. Louis massacre should be sufficient to purge Dr. Bundy of any such charge. WATCH YOUR POCKETBOOK WATCH YOUR POCKETBOOK BECAUSE wages are high, but only relatively so when the correspondingly high cost of living is considered, our people, in common with others, are handling more money than they have ever done before. And too many of us are spending our earnings too freely. We live up to every penny we make. The consequence is that when sickness comes or loss of employment we are "up against it," to use the language of the street. There will doubtless come, and that sooner than we think, reaction from the present inflated and abnormal state of affairs. The result will be lower wages and in many instances lack of employment. This will entail suffering and hardship. Our advice to our readers is this: During this era of high wages, watch your pocketbook. Save something for the proverbial rainy day. Invest your earnings first in a home, not beyond your means, but within your means. Invest any surplus earnings you may have in some sound enterprise that promises you a fair rate of interest on your savings or investment. Steer clear of get-rich-quick schemes. Don't be afraid, how- --- --- TO AMERICAN YOUTH race upon my race by any un-act; I will live a clean, decent, decent and defend the virtue and uphold and obey the just laws of unity in which I live, and will rise; I will not allow prejudice, to cower my spirit or sour my inner freedom of heart and myself to be overcome of evil, evil with good; I will endeavor powers within me for my own will strive unceasingly to quicken and responsibility; I will in all race so that, to everyone bound become a bond of ennoblement,." ever, to investigate and invest in conservative enterprises. The pith and point of all we would say is be thrifty be not miserly, but saving. Watch your pocketbook. CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By W. H. A. Moore. (By Associated Negro Press.) The criminal presence of ignorance is not confined to the household of the Negro here in the United States. The woeful ignorance of social law prevailing among American whites is one of the many amazing instances of the stupid insolence that may, in the end, spell death for American institutions. Keeping at he social and economic top of a social organization is no easy job because it requires the exercising of a high and disinterested intelligence to maintain the position with a level head. Mere assertion of superiority will not do it. Neither will desire expressed in the noisy terms of the dauntless upholder of the blood integrity of the "Anglo-Saxon race" come as close as a mile to the purpose in mind. SUPERIORITY is a fact of life and not a creation of the imagination. IT IS LIVED. NOT DREAMSID! He is superior to me who can do things better than I can do them; who can think clearer than I can think; who can live closer to the truth than I can live; who can face death with a calmer heart than I can face it. It is superiority of mind and heart that counts in the longer run of life. All else is twaddle. Duluth is still "madly searching" for the brutes who sullied the fair name of that fair city with the horrible lynching of three Negroes who may have raped a young white woman of that place. I say "may have" because there has been no proof brought forward that there was a young white woman raped by anybody, up to this date at the time alleged in the dispatches recounting the incidents attending the lynching. But "rape" is the one crime that justifies lynching. A street brawl is precipitated by any one of a thousand trivial causes between a crowd of black and white underbreds. If the whites in the brawl happen to outnumber the blacks, a "lynching" occurs and rape is the cause. If, however, the blacks get the best of the fight there is a "race riot" in which the black casualties outnumber the white. The Jack Johnson-Jim Jefferies "riot" is one of the few instances about which the press dispatches were unable to work up a "white superiority" end to the story of the fracas. But when Duluth finds the culprits who besmirched her fair nails with the disgusting instances of a lynching, you may be sure they will be fitly punished. Let the flag wave long. Tomorow demands that we shall be part of its larger and stronger spirit. We must begin to produce men and women whose vision is as clear-pointed as their aspiration. The "great Negro" of the future must be one of the "great men" of the world. Books on the "Race Problem" are being published fast and furiously. Some of them are solving the "problem" with a temper of satisfaction that THE MONITOR is extremely interesting. DuBols' "Darkwater" is exciting widespread interest and the sales of the book should increase by leaps and bounds as a consequence. Let us hope it will make him rich and thereby put him beyond the necessity of being attached to any "welfare" movement as a means of making a livelihood. I look for a close and hot fight this fall. It looks like Harding to me. In the meantime let us wish Lincoln Johnson all the good luck that can come to him. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a very useful attachment to the general plan for the amelioration of the untoward situation in which the Negro finds himself in this country. It has not touched the deeper responses of our group, and in the clearer appreciations of IDEAS it has not sounded the depths of social consciousness wherein are to be found the subtler and more powerful social impulses of the human family. A man is not a race. He may be preponderantly typical and yet fall short in his possession of those elements of character which present singleness of purpose and forgetfulness of self. When the association becomes less of a movement and more or a crusade, I look for it to take its rightful place in the sounder affections of the race. Until that hour let us be patient and pray to the Lord that the sins of the fathers will stay with the fathers. "The Negro worker is with us to stay," says the New York Mail. This is good news. With tales of his slothfulness, laziness and criminal indifference to economic exigency loudly ringing in my ears, I have been steadily inclining myself to the belief that I would be wise if I hied to the Canadian tall timbers and there awaited the crash that was to sound a noisy requiem to America's "Black Dream." But we are "here to stay," it seems. I say again, this is good news. In the meantime let us be happy, raise larger families, cook better food, make more money, and stick to prohibition. Who was it who said, "To h--l with the king." After a deadlock that became the most prolonged in the history of political conventions in either of the present parties, the democratic party nominated Cox and Roosevelt as their standard bearers. The deadlock exceeded the great one in the republican convention of 1880 when the "306" stood together for Grant against Blaine, and when Garfield was suddenly picked upon the final ballot. In the democratic party there has been only two occasions like it. One was the plenary council of 1860, when Stephen A. Douglas in a much smaller convention, fought in vain for 57 ballots to break the two-thirds rule, and the other was the nomination of Wilson at Baltimore in 1912 on the forty-seventh ballot, after Clark had actually received a majority. But that convention was at an end on the sixth day of its sessions, and it was the eighth day of the sessions of the present convention. The democratse have nominated their strongest man and it will behoove the republican managers to put up a vigorous battle all along the line. Governor Cox has thrice carried the normally republican state of Ohio and will again put up a formidable battle to hold it in the democratic column. His success in the past in Ohio has been largely due to his personal popularity. In a presidential campaign Ford 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."

SAMPLE-HART MOTOR CO. 100% Ford Service 18th and Burt Streets OMAHA --- COX AND ROOSEVELT where the fight will be mainly on principles, not men, it is safe to assume that Ohio will again turn to her republican allegiance. The country is heartily sick of the misrule of the Wilson party which has loaded the old donkey with such a heavy buren that he is well broken down under the load. Some colored people are saying that Cox will hold the Negro vote in Ohio owing to his fair attitude toward them. But we would remind these forecasters that the Negroes are looking across the border to the south, realizing that the strength of the democratic parties is in the states where disfranchisement, lynchings, segregation and proscriptions of all kinds obtain. However good a man Governor Cox may be from a personal aspect it cannot be forgotten, it is imperative that every Negro remember it, that the bourbon democracy of the states south of the Mason and Dixon line are the bone and sinew of the democratic party, that they control it and have a way of forcing their will on their fellow democrats of the north even as they are now bringing their anti-Negro propaganda north in the endeavor to alienate the Caucasian friends of the race. But thank God, the hundreds of northern boys who had a taste of the southern whites in the camps during the late war turn deaf ears to the dastards of the south when they try to make sentiment in the northern states. With a handicap of 130 pilfered electoral votes in the south against it the republican party will hit the line hard in those states where the American principle of a free ballot obtains, where freemen may exercise the highest privilege of American citizenship, and bring the country back to the safe and sane ranks of republican supremacy.—The Advocate, Wilmington, Del. THE HARVEST OF OUR HOPES. Father of souls that bade us go **Along the tangled ways of life,** Our souls are stronger for the strife, Our joy is deeper for the woe. The wind has torn the forest hem, The rain has found the lily's heart; Yet this is sweeter for the smart, And that is stouter in the stem. The moon has pierced the breast of night, Till fainting darkness pines and pales, Or feels the print of starry nails, Let out the falling drops of light. And clouds shall gather in the sky, A coronal of plaited thorn Across the forehead of the morn, Yet glory cometh by and by. For sweeter does the sunlight show, And fairer still the dawn appears That had its baptism in tears, And clearer is the afterglow. The sower flings his seeds afield, I dare not question of its kind; It leaves the furrows red behind; No bird will rob him of the yield. "Seed of the church," I heard him say, "I water it with tears and blood; My life is mingled with the flood, And not one ear of wheat shall die." The troubles of our time increase, Like faiding shadows we depart; O, brother of the broken heart, Let sorrow blossom into peace. ALFRED GORDDON, Bocas del Toro, Panama.

Chicago, July 15—A patriotic testimonial was given at the Eighth Regiment Armory, July 9th, in honor of Joseph Owens, the Chicago patrolman who was seriously wounded in the recent outbreak here which caused the death of two people. Patrolman Owens immortalized himself by rushing to the defense of the American flag when a group of fanatics sought to burn it. The meeting was under the auspices of a citizens' committee and the speakers were Edward H. Wright, who presided; Alderman Louis B. Anderson and Robert R. Jackson, Oscar De Priest, Chief of Police J. J. Garrity and Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Ga. All of the addresses praised the faithfulness of Policeman Owens. Chief Garrity declared that all citizens of the community must be protected and that, in his opinion, a recurrence of last summer's riot would be impossible. Within three hours after his first knowledge of the recent disturbance, he had more than 1,000 patrolmen on the scene.

Two hundred and fifty guests, young and old, were present and had a delightful evening. Groups of the older folk, gathered here and there on the spacious, beautifully illuminated lawn or in sheltered nooks on the wide piazzas and watched the gay groups of young people trip the light fantastic toe; and others than the younger folk indulged in dancing. Earlier in the evening, there was a brilliant display of fireworks. A delightful luncheon was served at the close of the evening.

Once upon a time this problem of food was a very simple matter. Three times a day, as a rule, the attention of man was drawn to a hollow feeling located due east of the lower end of the vertebral column. This vacancy he proceeded to fill with a slab of bread, a chunk of beef, a pot of rice, etc, flavored as a rule with butter, jam, garlic, etc., according to race, religion, climate, age, etc. This settled the problem till the next call from the far East. It pains us to say that this was living to eat and not eating to live. It showed no adjustment of means to end. It was a system of food that made no distinction between a longshoreman and a free-verse poet. It was internal anarchy. Happily the truth has been realized. The consumption of food is no longer destructive but constructive. Man no longer eats corned beef and cabbage, but the vitamins in the beef and the polyzeugmatics in the cabbage. When he picks up the bill of fare he no longer says, "What will most speedily and cheaply allay the unrest in my far East?" but he says, "Where can I find the 12,500 carbonuxates that will give me the right outlook on the League of Nations?" And he finds it in unpolished rice. Or he says to himself, "I am now at work on the fourth act of my poetic drama; to make it convincing to Belasco I must absorb 3,200 permaganazolids daily for the next 30 days."

HAD IT ALL PLANNED OUT Colored Soldier Knew Exactly What He Was Going to Do With All Those Black Clothes. Here is a story of two negro soldiers, who were talking just after the signing of the armistice: "Rastus,' said one, 'what you gwine to do when you-all gets home?" "What am I gwine do? Wal, in the fust place, nigger, I's gwine buy me a white suit o' cloes,' n white shoes, 'n a white shirt, collar 'n tie, 'n a white hat. I's gwine be white all over, nigger, an' den I's give up you nigger folks 'n allus do my 'sociating wid white folks.' "The boy paused, then asked: 'What you all gwine do, Jake?' 'Wal,' says Jake, 'Ts gwine buy me a black suit, 'n black shoes, 'n a black shirt, 'n a black tie, 'n a black hat. Ts gwine be black all over. Den, when dat's done, Ts gwine buy me a big piece of black crape and fasten it round my black hat.' "Man,' says Rastus, 'what you-all mean by all dem black cloes and by dat black crape? What for you gwine wear dat black crape?" "Nigger,' says Jake, 'Ts gwine wear dat black crepe to your funeral.'"—Wendell D. Howle in the Boston Transcript. A man on the South side advertised his car for sale. Early the next morning a man who lived across the street came over and said: "Pardon me, but I see by last night's paper you advertised your car for sale." "Quite true," said the man who advertised the car, "but surely you are not in the market for it." "No," was the reply, "but I only live across the street and I also want to sell my car. And there would be no need of me spending my money for an advertisement if after the people were through looking at your car you could just send them across the street to look at my car."—Indianapolis News Representative Frear interrupted the reading of a report to say: "Official language is always rather ludicrous. Once two scrubwomen in government employ had an argument, as a result of which the weaker vessel was laid up for some days. "An official inquiry was duly held, and the victorious scrubwoman received a letter which said, among other things: "Is it true, as reported, that said Mrs. Hagan received certain ocular and nasal contusions at your hands? "The scrubwoman in official language wrote back: "I regret to say that the answer is in the infirmary." At the speedway races a tire company gave away toy ballons as advertisements. A lad about four years old came up to the man on the job and said: "Please may I have two balloons?" The man replied: "Sorry, my little lad, but only one balloon to a boy. Have you any brothers at home?" After a minute of deep thinking the lad gave this answer: "No, I have no brothers, but I have a sister who has a brother."—Indianapolis News.

It is a delicate matter to handle, yet present developments indicate that human justice is to be sacrificed at the expense of political expediency—so imagined—and that the intrepid illly white, wherever possible, is to be given the benefit of the doubt. Senator Harding, Governor Coolidge, Chairman Hays and the Republican National Committee are solemnly warned that they are playing a most dangerous game, in a most serious time. Regardless of the fact that many of the newspapers have declared for the ticket, there is a pointed dissatisfied feeling among the rank and file of the voters that the race is being buffeted and not being dealt with on the square. It is an ugly feeling to be broadcast, particularly with so many incidents to give color to the belief. All newspapers agree that in the pivotal states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, New York, Maryland, and even in rock-ribbed Pennsylvania, the Negro vote is something to be regarded with utmost seriousness this year. The American Negroes as a nationwide class are thinking deep thoughts—if those on the outside are not bothered, those on the inside are truly amazed. WASHING DIRTY LINEN The Chicago Tribune is asking the question, "Who is Otto Schoenrich of New York" The query is prompted into utterance by a set of severe charges of gross mismanagement and cruelty against the representatives of the United States government in the Republics of Haiti and Santo Domingo. Mr. Schoenrich speaks from knowledge and with authority. He was for many years prominent in the official and business life of the two island republics and therefore he has been in close touch with the trend of affairs and with the character of the administration of American official at Port Au Prince and at Santo Domingo. The Tribune knows these facts. The "world's greatest" also knows that Mrs. Schoenrich has been one o the big figures in the contemptible practices of exploitation that have ever characterized the presence of white men in the aforenamed republics. It is all history for him to read who may and the "world's greatest" is one of the busiest of readers. The "world's greatest" is also aware of the fact that the Clyde Steamship Company has dictated for a long number of years the selection of the men who should represent the United States government even in the least minor positions. Mr. Schoenrich has stated the truth of the conditions as they now prevail in Haiti and the Dominion Republics. It does not matter that he, at one time, was also engaged in an "exploitation which proved profitable to the individual foreigner engaged there" in business shady and other- A. M.E.

The first swing of editorial comment from the various papers throughout the country shows that a majority are satisfied with the choice of Harding and Coolidge by the Republican convention. The various expressions have more the ring of loyalty than that of enthusiasm. A number of the strongest newspapers, including the Afro-American Baltimore, the Christian Recorder Philadelphia, official organ of the A.M. E. Church, the Cleveland Advocate in Ohio, the Houston Observer of Texas, and the Journal and Guide of Norfolk, Va., call attention to the sins of omission in the Republican platform, while James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of the New York Age, in a very extended editorial reviews the very plainly evident trail of color prejudice as demonstrated in the national convention.

The truth is that American officers have carried their impudence and cruel impositions to the island, and Mr. Schoenrich, smarting, probably, under a present disability to have a finger in the eating of the discreditable pie, is telling all he knows about the situation in a spirit of "If I can't, you shan't." But the distinguished ex-minor official has done a public service in laying the cards on the table where everybody can see the American hand. In the meantime, the Tribune may learn to know Mr. Schoenrich better and more intimately. The linen is very dirty and sadly needs washing. (By Associated Negro Press.) Houston Tex., July 15.—The last issue of the Army and Navy Journal states that there is an organized movement to free all of the Negro soldiers of the 24th Infantry, who were adjudged guilty of participation in the raid on Houston in August, 1917. The Journal points out that an application for a writ of habeas corpus has been made before Judge John C. Pollock in the United States District Court in Kansas City., Kan., in behalf of the 39 soldiers who are now serving terms in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. Forty-one of these men were convicted at the time of the court martial, but two have since died. The writ sets forth that the United Sates was not at war at the time of the raid and therefore the men were not guilty of violating any war law by the raid. Old Age Really Begins in Early Youth At what time does age begin? asks the Scientific American. After summing up the opinions of many authorities it quotes from a recent article by Dr. Friedrich von Mueller at Munich, who holds that bodily decay really begins in adolescence, though it does not become apparent until much later. Athletes reach the maximum of bodily power before the thirtieth year; the eyesight begins to change at about fifty; the powers of observation begin to wane after thirty. As a man grows old "the firmly fixed memories of his youth gain in intensity and there is some justice in the view that the beginning of age dates from the time when the intellectual vision ceases to be directed toward the future and is bent upon the past. Earnest and serious thoughts engage the mind more and more; he who was formerly a seeker for truth becomes a doubter; the freethinker becomes a believer, the revolutionary conservative." Cancer is a disease of old age, though it often appears in younger life. The typical malady of the age is, however, hardening of the arteries, "and it is especially in the circles of men burdened with heavy duties that it seeks its victims. The previous history of the man wreaks its vengeance upon the blood vessels and the heart; every excess of emotion, or work or pleasure, of sorrow and anxiety, leaves its mark upon the arteries. These alterations silently increase in intensity through long years and are first made visible by the failure of the compensation apparatus to function." Charles Dickens invariably wrote in blue ink on blue paper, as he held the impression that the color of ink and paper greatly facilitated the flow of his ideas. Another idiosyncrasy of his was the writing of day and month in full, as, January twenty-sixth." I USE Dentlo DO YOU USE Dentlo?

Nadine Louise Brown rested her fluffy head luxuriously against the white towel stretched over the chairback and watched the flying landscape, Paris, Ill., was very far away, and Nadine's heart pumped joyously. She should arrive in Boston that very morning, and then—life would commence for her. Boston to Nadine was everything that Paris, Ill., was not. There would be young men, theaters, jobs, everywhere. Nadine planned to get a job right away. The train rumbled into the South station. Nadine alighted. She knew just what to do, and she did it successfully. Not an hour later she skipped down the steps of the Y. W. C. A. and started to seek life. The office boy in Everyman's insurance office grinned at Nadine and Nadine grinned back. Said the boy: "Mr. Black?" This was a straw. Nadine grasped it. "Yes." "He's out," said the boy, "but yop c'n talk to his assistant. It's Mr. Jack, his son. Mr. John Black, Jr., you know." Mr. Black, Jr., appeared. He was very young and very handsome, more so than any Paris, Ill., young man. His eyes were as startled as Nadine's own, but she did not see that. Nadine tried to think. Mr. Black, Jr., thought for her. "You want a position?" Nadine nodded her head. Mr. Black smiled. "What is your name?" "Where do you come from?" Mr. Black, Jr., forgot this was a business affair, and not a country club dance. But Nadine was not thinking of that. At last it was a question she could answer, if her breath lasted long enough. "Paris," said she. Mr. Black grinned. Now he understood. Nine months before in Paris he had tried to buy soap of a Parisian apothecary, but he had been disappointed in the comprehension of the Frenchman, and he had never got the soap. "Can you typewrite?" Nadine started to say: "We had that in high school," but she decided it did not sound businesslike, but it was too late, the "we" had escaped. Mr. Black, Jr., understood the "we" for the French "oul," or "yes." "I see," he said, "and you want a job." "What is your name?" asked Mr. Black, holding paper and pen ready. But being very kind he motioned her to wait before answering. From his pocket he produced a well-thumbed little red book. "French Self-Taught." He turned the pages to the "w's." At last he asked triumphantly: "Quel est votre nom?" Nadine smiled; she wanted to laugh. But she did not dare, and anyway she knew her smile was enchanting. In Paris, Ill., she had studied "French for Engineers" for a year in high school, and had read a little French story by Monsieur LeBrun, which name her teacher had translated as Mr. Brown, so she answered readily, but in half-heftfating English: "I am Nadine LeBrun." During the next few weeks Mr. Black, Jr., applied himself to his duties so thoroughly and perseveringly that Mr. Black, Sr., told his wife that "Junior" would get somewhere yet. Junior did. Whether or not it was the particular "somewhere" his father meant. It was June, he'd asked the enchanting French girl to go "somewhere" with him that evening. Nadine smiled and—nodded. That night Nadine also got "somewhere." It was the June night, plus the luminous moon, plus the gentle lapping of the water on the shore, at Winthrop Beach and plus Junior. The answer to the problem was "yes." Possibly Nadine had something to do with it, too, but she gave all the credit to Junior. And then they both got "somewhere." It was this way: "We'll go out West, dearie," Jack, Jr., breathed into her delicate and very French little ear. "I've an old granny out there who'd love to see us, and she promised me long ago when I married I should have her home for a wedding present, and dad's always said he'd set me up in business out there." "Oh, Jack!" "Yep, out Illinois way." "Illinois!" Nadine gasped. But Jr. mistook the long-drawn gasped for her imperfect knowledge of English. "Yep—Paris, Illinois," he laughed in expectation. "It's a great little old town." The idea then occurred to him that Nadine might have misunderstood. "Not your Paris, you know; it's just a small town in one of our states. There's alfalfa, and wheat, and some cattle—" "And corn, Jackey, say there's corn." "Yep, there's corn, acc of it." "And, Jack, is it the little yellow house on the corner of Main and Pleasant streets, with the hollyhocks and the wisteria vines?" "Why, Nadine, how did you know?" "Because," she smiled archly. "Tell me, dearest, how did you know?" She smiled again and stroked his hand playfully, which he thought very foreign and Frenchy. "Jack Junior, dear, will you forgive me? You see—I came from Paris." "Nadine!" But Jack Junior was not angry. KILLS PREACHER WHO AC- CIDENTALLY STEPS ON FOOT Greenwood, S. C., July 15.—When Rev. James H. Walker, a respected Negro preacher of this county stepped from the door of a local bank he accidentally stepped on the foot of Pope McCarthy, white mill operative and before the preacher could apologize the man drew a pistol from his pocket and emptied every shell into his body, killing him instantly. McCarthy has the reputation of being a "bad" man and has several killings to his record. He boldly walked into the sherrif's statement, "I've just killed a nigger."

Four pairs of bright eyes peered through the curtains down to the veranda where the man sat. "He's awfully stunning," Gwen commented. "And dresses in excellent taste," Gladys said. "I love his air of indifference," Janet added. "Indifference," Polly exclaimed, "that air of his comes from pure conceit. Thinks no one like himself ever visited this humble town before. Thinks also, that each and everyone of us is just dying of eagerness to meet him—" "Which we are," Gladys frankly interrupted. "Poof!" said Polly, "eager more likely to ride in that big car of his, or to be asked to play tennis in his wonderful new court." A mischievous gleam came to her dark eyes as she turned from the window. "All right. I'll show you. Ere another day has passed." Polly waved her arm dramatically, "the indifferent and disinterested Homer Bainbridge shall be seen in my company alone. Janet laughed "Let her dream on," she said to the girls. When Homer Bainbridge arose and strolled to the entrance gates of the big place he had rented, Polly smiled in her corner. What would he think of her, this distinguished-appearing stranger after she had made good her promise to the girls? Polly jumped up with a boyish whistle, and went out to the garage. Her own small car stood there. It was dusty and in lack of attention, so she set to work with the cleaning cloths. Then when her work was done, Polly hurried up to her room for the becoming 'daintiest blue' frock, and did certain bewitching things to her hair. When she appeared again, rosy and excited, she seated herself in the car and waved good-by to her mother. "See you later," was her only explanation as the little car went rolling down the white road. The difficult man was there as she passed, and he regarded her with his apparent remoteness. Polly knew the location of the golf links, also she knew that Mr. Homer Bainbridge would soon be on his way there. This, she had learned through much interested observation of his daily life's routine. At a safe distance and rather wearly, she kept his tall figure in view as he moved about on the green. When the waiting became too tiresome, Polly brought forth an inviting magazine and began the latest serial. It was remarkable after that, how the afternoon hours flew. Mr. Homer Bainbridge had departed from the links to get his own big car. In ten or fifteen minutes he should pass her. Polly, very evidently, knew little about engines. She went on experimentally probing the car's tires with apparently little success. For each time that Polly resumed her seat, her hands upon the steering wheel, the small car utterly refused to move. A bigger automobile which had been for some time approaching, was obliged to halt in the roadside. This was a narrow park passage, and the driver wished to make sure that he might safely go ahead. The driver was Homer Bainbridge. Polly faced him with a hopeless gesture. "You will have to go around me," she said ruefully. "I'm afraid that I'm stalled here for the day." Mr. Bainbridge alighting, instantly came to the rescue. "What," he asked, "seems to be the trouble?" "I don't know a thing about mechanism." Polly honestly confessed. So the difficult man, casting aside his gauntlets, took it upon himself to find the cause of trouble. But his careful effort could discover none. Suddenly he grinned up at Polly. "Why!" he exclaimed, "it's your gasoline tank. Empty—that's all." Polly had the grace to blush, but remembering the mocking faces of her three friends she quickly regained her poise. "Thank you," she said, "then I will walk over home and send Jim for the car. He can bring the gasoline with him." The courtesy of her neighbor intervened, as she was starting off jauntily. "Better ride back with me," he suggested, and with becoming gratitude Polly accepted the invitation. Gwen and Gladys were upon their veranda as she made her triumphant return. Polly put just the right amount of friendliness into her passing bow. Farther down the avenue Janet gaped wide mouthed over a garden hedge. To her, Polly also bowed, cordially. Mr. Homer Bainbridge had been bending in flattering attention to Polly's purposely low-murmured conversation as they passed. At her own door she dismissed him. "Thanks," Polly said briefly, and went in search of Jim. It was exactly three months later when the difficult man had asked her the one great question and was waiting in eager suspense Polly's reply, when suddenly the girl all remorseful and serious, made confession of her ruse. "Why Polly," her lover rapturously exclaimed. "Polly, my dear, all that time, I was hoping and longing for a kind fate to bring us together."
