GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy MACHINE GUN FIRE STOPS LYNCHOCRATS Northern Carolina Governor Means Business Orders "Shoot Straight If Attempt Is Made on Lives of Prisoners."—Third Time Governor Bickett Thwarts Mob and Saves Honor of State Men of His Mettle Sadly Ne GREENSBORO, N. 22. One person was re-illed and another wounded at N. C., Monday night by fire from chine company of the North C. National Guard on duty at the co-jail there, where three prisoners (co-ored) are held on charges of having attacked a woman. Reports from Graham said the shots were fired by the machine gun company when a crowd in the darkness approached the jail. Threats of lynching yesterday had caused Governor Bickett to order the company to Graham with instructions to "shoot straight if an attempt on the lives of prisoners is made." This is the third time within recent years that Governor Bickett has proven to the mobs in that state that the law is above them and that a man's life, whatever the color of his skin, must be protected In 1916 at Winston-Salem, N. C., a mob threatened to lynch a colored man of that town falsely accused of shooting a police officer. They were met at the Forsyth County court house with three army tanks, three machine guns, and a company of troops. The mob taking for granted that they would be winked at as has been the case in so many southern states where soldiers would render excuses that they had no authority to shoot, or that the officers of the law "were overpowered by the tremendous mob," they disregarded the governor's warning and attempted to rush the jail. The order came to "shoot straight," and the soldiers obeyed, with the result that five members of the mob were killed and over a dozen wounded. The next case was in Raleigh, the capital, in the summer of 1917 when another mob attempted to lynch Earl Neville, a colored cab driver. This boy was found asleep on his cab within half an hour after the time of the occurrence of the crime for which he was accused. He gave splendid account of himself for every minute of that night, but on account of the same old thing, "She identified him to be the man," he was convicted. The mob first gathered in front of the Wake County Court house, in which the jail was. The governor met them clad in his bath robe and slippers. He mounted a box in front of the mob and warned them "If you attempt to take the law in your hands I shall order the soldiers to shoot straight." The mob had not forgotten the Winston affair and scattered for the night. The next night, however, they gathered at the penitentiary where the prisoner had been removed and again attempted to carry out their scheme. Again the governor appeared on the scene and dispersed the mob. The would-be victim in the Winston-Salem case was set free, the court finding no semblance of truth in the evidence given. In the Earl Neville case the accused paid his life as the penalty for the crime but the court acknowledged that the evidence before it was insufficient to convict anybody. The outcome of the present case in Graham, N. C., will be watched with keen interest. DR. WRIGHT WILL ATTEND ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE AT EDINBOROUGH (By Associated Negro Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., July 22--Dr. Richard R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia, was given the degree LL. D. at the commencement of Wilberforce University, Xenia, Ohio, June 30th. He was also given an appointment to go abroad, being selected as one of seven ministers to attend the Ecumenical Conference of Methodism to be held in Edinborough Scotland, in 1921. BENIGHTED FOREIGNERS CAUSE OF ORDINANCE (By Associated Negro Press.) Gadsden, Ala., July 22. The council passed an ordinance forbidding the serving of white and colored people at the same drinking and eating places. It is said that some foreigners who disregard the color line have been in the habit of serving drinks to both races. THE MONITOR "PILGRIMS IN BRONZE" Eloquent Congregational Minister Delivers Notable Address Before International Council. (By Associated Negro Press.) Boston, July 22.—The Rev. Dr. Henry H. Proctor of Brooklyn, N. Y., who has recently come from Atlanta, Ga. where as pastor of the largest Congregational church in the United States, he was a leader in the Atlanta movement for obtaining peaceful relations, addressed the fourth decennial international Congregational recently on "Pilgrims in Bronze," he alluded to the fact that the first slaves were brought from Africa to Virginia a year before the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth. "The present movement of the Negro is not merely national, but also an international movement," he said. "The path made red by the blood of the slave ships is yet to regleam with a divine light pointing the trained man of African descent back home to save the dark continent. As he returns to redeem the long lost continent, he will be a pilgrim in bronze going out for the great crusade." THINKS U. S. SHOULD ADMIT MORE JAPANESE San Francisco, Cal., July 19.—K. A. Kanzaki, secretary of the Japanese Association of America, told the immigration and naturalization committee of the house of representatives recently that he believed in restriction of Japanese immigration in the United States but that 30,000 to 40,000 more could probably be accommodated in addition to the 87,000 already here. This additional number would help to bring the proportion of men and women to a fair basis, in his opinion, and would not complicate racial or economic questions. FARMERS ORGANIZE (By Associated Negro Press.) Jackson, Miss., July 22.-Jackson, Miss., reports an enterprise worthy of attention among those interested in Louisiana—a colored farmers' trucking association. It was organized by Prof. Brinkley, a school principal, and has already shipped seven cars of cabbage and one of potatoes this season, netting the shippers over $5,000, besides $1,000 worth of vegetables sold in the local market. BEDOUINS AND FEISAL PLOT AGAINST FRENCH Beirut, Syria, July 22. -The Bedouin tribes of northern Mesopotamia have formed a coalition against the French while Feisal, head of the Syrian state, is endeavoring to organize the bandits west of Aleppo into a movement against the French. LA FOLLETTE MAY BE CANDIDATE ATTORNEY SCRUGGS RETURNS FROM DULUTH Attorney Amos P. Scruggs returned Sunday morning from a combined business and pleasure trip to Duluth and the Twin Cities. While in Duluth he interviewed the men who are held in custody there in connection with the alleged assault upon the Truxen girl for which three men were murdered by a mob. They are being held as state witnesses. He was also shown the affidavit of the physician who examined the girl to the effect that there was no evidence of ravishment. "The general sentiment in Duluth, so far as I could learn," said Mr. Scruggs, "is that the Negroes were not guilty. The grand jury seems to have gone after the lynchers in earnest. Several have been indicted and the lowest bond allowed, I was informed, is $15,000. I had a pleasant interview with the editor of the Rip-Saw, who is a "great, big, whole-souled sort of a man, a native of Iowa, of abolition stock and a socialist. Among his cherished possessions is a silver half dollar given to his grandmother when she was a little girl by John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame, who was often a guest at their home. He is positive of the men's innocence." Mr. Scruggs saw several former Omahans both in Duluth and in the Twin Cities, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Workuff and Lon Holliday. Things done by halves never bring many quarters. THE NEGRO FOURTH ESTATE AND POST-WAR PROSPERITY A Virginia Professor, Who Has Been Studying America's Primary Race Problem, Has Gained Enlightenment From the Colored Press Which He Finds to Be a Tremendous Power Equalling if Not Surpassing Influence Wielded by the Pulpit. Southern Press Moderate in Tone, But Set in Purpose; Northern Press More Boldly Outspoken. PRESS PLAYED PART IN NATIONS WAR PROGRAM—DEMANDS RIGHTS FOR RACE Robert T. Kerlin of Virginia Military Institute Contributes Illuminating and Instructive Article to Reedy's Mirror, Which Is Being Widely Quoted.—Article Demonstrates That Wide-Visioned White Men Who Would Be Intelligent Students of Affairs Cannot Ignore Literature of Our Group. SPEAKING broadly, there are very few white Americans who consider it worth their while to read a newspaper or magazine published by a man or woman of color. In this they show regrettable short-sightedness, and especially so if they would lay any just claim to being students of affairs, because it is absolutely impossible to know anything about any people unless we know something about their literature. Professor Robert T. Kerlin has made a systematic study of a large number of our publications and has given the result of that study in the following article which was published not long ago in Reedy's Mirror, and has been reprinted in man, newspapers of national circulation and influence such as the New York World: Activity of the colored press of the country in these troublous times, the spirit, the boldness and the influence of it, may well excite alarm, as it has done, even "in the seats of the mighty." There are nearly 400 Negro newspapers published in this country, and they are prosperous as never before. Their circulation during the war period vastly increased, and new papers—all of the more outspoken and able type—have subsequently sprung into existence. The colored people are fully informed of this—their papers make it a matter of rejoicing and pride. It is indeed a sign of the times. We are informed by this press that a new era has come, brought to birth by the world war; that with the new era has appeared the new Negro; a man who stands erect and looks the white man in the face; a man who asks no odds, but a square deal; a man who does not cringe or fawn, "licking the hand that smites," but demands his rights under the constitution—equal opportunities in the common affairs of life, equal conditions, equal comforts equal recognition for character and worth—in a word, justice. The world war and the Negro's part therein are responsible for it. Not, of course, for the origin of the principle of manhood in the Negro, but for its swift leaping into evidence, its sudden self-assertion in new tones. What we fought for the Negro fully appreciated. Why should he not have been able to? He was quick to apply that aim to himself—for the Negro is quick. President Wilson's notes and addresses, the treaty and the league covenant, had for the Negro the force of a new emancipation proclamation. Black Press Demands "Rights." The colored press claims—and rightfully—great credit for itself in pushing the various war measures and promoting the drives. Papers of every kind, denominational, fraternal, secular, gave their columns freely to the situation of patriotism, appeals to race pride, exhortations to "go over the top," and instruction regarding the various requirements of the government. With all this went a strong championing of our humanitarian purposes in the war—the liberation of subject minority races, the righting of old wrongs, the making democracy prevail. The Negroes' subscriptions to the Liberty Loan, to Red Cross funds and the whole list they quote as evidence of their patriotism and spirit in the country's time of need. It is a record of which they are justly proud. They make it the basis of democratic demands, quite naturally. Of the valor of their troops overseas they make the same argument. Those troops fought with endurance and heroism at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonne, and mingled their blood with It is this story that has embittered the Negro. It is this story that has given a new potency to his newspaper. There is no jack of evidence that the Negroes are going to their own papers in these days for their information and guidance. Those papers, in the small communities and rural districts, are coming to them from large cities, preferably northern cities—whose editors dwell in the "safety zone." In my own town, with a colored population of less than one thousand, I found the Chicago Defender, the Boston Guardian, the New York Age, the Crisis, the Afro-American (Baltimore), the Washington Eagle, the Richmond Planet and the Southwestern Christian Advocate (New Orleans)—the last two being among the ablest and most outspoken papers in the country. But all these are "radical." Apparently the colored people of today will have nothing to do with any other kind. Disbelieve Ordinary Newspapers. To these papers and others of like quality the Negroes are going for the news, for trustworthy reports of "Negro uprisings," "Negro riots"—so-called by the white press—and lynchings, and for wrathful denunciations of them. The colored press is now the rival of colored pulpit influence. There are signs that it is coming into the first place. The Negro appreciates his newly discovered Fourth Estate. Shortly after the Washington riot I decided that it would be a good thing to study the Negro's reactions to that occurrence. For there were two circumstances that gave it distinction: It was in our nation's capital, in the vicinity of the White House itself; and the Negro defended himself, did so with resolution and effectiveness. Therefore, sending to all the weeklies for sample copies which were readily supplied me, I selected about seventy from the hundreds and subscribed for them. The generalizations and assertions contained in this article are based upon a careful reading and re-reading of these stacks of weeklies and some eight or ten monthly magazines. Eighty-five per cent of my newspapers are published south of the Mason and Dixon line. But my initial mustard seed of an idea germinated marvellously and "waxed into a great tree." Was it not worth while to discover how the colored man was thinking on all matters pertaining to racial relations? Was it not worth while to get his point of view on racial adjustment, to learn definitely his complaints against us, to hear him state his remedies for the wrongs against which he protests? The least quantum of a sense of justice dictated an affirmative answer. Hence the application of myself to the Negro's newspapers—his one and only faithful exponent. To convey an adequate impression of the tone and temper and effectiveness of the colored weekly press in these times is impossible in the compass of an article which will not admit of extracts of any length. I must therefore resort to description. How, then, can they be described? Their irony, ridicule, reproach, sarcasm and rebuke are conveyed all by the method of "sweet reasonableness;" mild comment, plain statement of fact, inverted exaggeration, subtle indirection, side remarks, and the gentle request to "look upon this picture, now upon that." Bitterness and Irony. Yazo, Miss.—Because of her activity in selling colored newspapers here Miss Pauline Willis, a young colored woman, has been ordered to leave town. Vicksburg, Miss.—A white man raped a colored girl in Bovina, Miss., one day last week. Bovina is only four miles from Vicksburg and in the same county. A charge was promptly made against him and he was arrested and thrown in jail at Vicksburg, but not one word has been heard of the kerosene can, the rope, nor the outraged public conscience. Effective? I think so. Scores of papers in the Black Belt are masters of the art. News items such as these sprinkle the front page. There is usually a sting in the tail of the harmless appearing little things—not deadly, but disturbing. Editorials one sentence long exhibit a similar self-restraint. As long as American citizens are disfranchised, segregated, Jim-crowed, lynched, brow-beaten, intimated held in contumely and contempt victims of lawlessness, and mistreated generally because of their color, the riot spirit will be rampant.—Houston In'ormer. Some one has said that our newspapers never have anything in them to make one smile. Oh, yes, they do—read what some white southerners think of a "square deal."—Ibid. Undoubtedly the southern papers are in general milder in tone than the northern, but not less comprehensive in their demands nor less firm in purpose. The same grievances are voiced, the same petitions and pleadings are set forth, the same rights are asserted and urged not less cogently. The southern Negro's utterance of his protests, demands, determinations, and all that weighs upon his soul, suggests courage rather than boldness, and a sober sense of responsibility. The manifest restraint he imposes upon himself for the good of the cause, and for personal safety, only increases the force of his words, adding the pathos of entreaty to the cogency of argument. Messages "Get Over." Notwithstanding this moderation of tone—or perhaps because of it—the southern papers get their messages delivered and make them understood. We white people must give the colored people credit for more percipiency than we are wont to do. They have quite as good a faculty as we for reading between the lines, for taking the force of an innuendo, for perceiving the point of a bit of mild irony or gentle sarcasm. Vague and indirect pronouncements, perfectly harmless in appearance to us, are hand grenades to them. Editorial reticence they well understand to mean "safety first" for the editor, a longer career of usefulness. But even some of the weeklies from which I take mild cracks—papers published within the bounds of the old Confederacy—can use the artillery of the skies desired by Douglass. Some of their braver neighbors in the large cities make constant use of this heavy artillery as well as of the small arms. The Negro's ability as a speaker in pulpit and on the public rostrum has always been recognized. It is something new to find him mighty with the pen. But there are editorial writers not a few in the south who are quite a match for their white "contemporaries." They frequently find occasion to contest statements made in the white dailies, to challenge positions, to expose fallacies and inconsistencies, and to set argument against argument. In these polemics the Negro cannot be said to be found wanting. Seldom is there eloquence, seldom is there circumlocution, seldom any fine writings or pedantry, but there is straightforward speech, very telling in effect. Colored Syndicate Features. Colored Syndicate Features. Besides, many of the papers, large and small, are strengthened by the syndicated editorials of contributing editors. A half dozen able pens, the pens of university trained men, are employed in this work regularly. Practically all the papers also report lectures, sermons, addresses, the resolutions of conferences and congresses, and other such matter that, even when the editorials are weak and inconsequential, carry to their readers the message of the leaders.

Youngest Student in History of Institution Upon Whom This Honor Has Been Conferred. HARRY SPENCER BLACKISTON WINS MERITED DISTINCTION PHILADELPHIA, July 22, 1920.—Amidst the halo of glory surrounding the one hundred and sixty-fourth annual commencement of the University of Pennsylvania, June 30, the outstanding and most glorious feature of it all, was the fact that Harry Spencer Blackiston, a colored boy, was proclaimed the greatest of all scholars who ever graduated from that institution since its foundation. On Blackiston was conferred the highest literary degree of the university—that of Ph. D. (Doctor of Philosophy), and with it goes the honor of being the youngest man upon whom this honor has been conferred since the opening of that institution. Blackiston having just passed out of his twenty-second year. Winner of Scholarships and Degrees Harry S. Blackick, after graduating from the Central High School in February, 1913, matriculated in the course of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania in the following September, at the age of 16 years. At that time he became the recipient of the William P. Henzey Scholarship, 1913-1917, and the Mayor's Scholarship, 1913-17. As an undergraduate he specialized in German and Latin. During the course of the academic year, 1916-17, he was awarded the George Schleicher prize for German conversation, by virtue of which he received a silver medal along with $15 in gold; and he was also given honorable mention in a prose Latin essay contest. In June, 1917, the degree of Bachelor of Arts (A. B.) was conferred upon him. About the same time he received a university scholarship in German for the ensuing academic year, 1917-18. In September, 1918, he was enrolled in the graduate school of the aforementioned institution, delving intensively into the study of German and Latin, and receiving the degree of Master of Arts (A. M.) in June of the following year. At this time he won a Harrison scholarship in German, together with an additional stipend of $100. He continued his research work for the next two years at the same institution, winning a university scholarship in the year 1919; and now at the age of only 22 years becomes the recipient of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.), thereby being the youngest in the history of the university to receive such a degree.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE After having waged a war for the preservation of ordered freedom, and condemned the atrocities of the German army, we sit back and tolerate being disgraced in our native land by such foul demonstrations as the lynching, a short time since, staged in Duluth, Minn. It cannot be said that there was a wave of passionate blindness in the deed. It was ordinary mob violence and mob murder. The victims were American citizens, although not white men. If anything, there was cold, deliberate and shrewd planning in their attack on the police station and in the so-called investigation into the crime of the Negroes on the part of those who had no right to conduct a trial or the samblance of a trial. All lovers of justice admire the stand taken by the Bishop of Duluth in condemning the action as murder in cold blood, and ordering the public exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for expiation and reparation. Every man partaking in the crime is a murderer. He has taken human life by usurped authority, which is no authority at all. Who of the mob could say they were guilty? No trial, no attempt to prove their innocence or guilt, but an exemplification of the grossest barbarianism. The right to life is a God-given gift and therefore only within the power of God to take and those lawfully appointed guardians of right and justice. The state can take human life, but for a very definite reason and through very definite processes of law. No individual can do so, nor can any group of individuals do so without committing murder. Instances of this kind are becoming more common, and only for one reason—because the mob murderer is never punished. Justice knows no color line. And justice promptly administered to those taking the law in their own hands would soon lessen the number of those who excuse the murder when the victim is black and the murderers many. — The True Voice, Omaha, Neb.

We are carrying else- where in these columns an article on three instances where the latter pro- tected colored men from mobs, by let- ting the mob know that when he or- ders the troops to “shoot straight” he means business. If the law were to be allowed in all such cases as these to have its course, justice would release, we venture to say, nine- tenths of the victims accused of the crimes for which they are summarily Killed.

This thing cannot continue without eventually bringing on a con- flict which wil] result in disaster to both groups. God forbid that it will ‘ever come to this. But the situation is becoming more seripus and alarm- ing than is generally supposed. A song of hate is a song of death for any people.

NO MONOPOLY OF BRAIN c Is gratifying to call attention to the fact that the youngest stu- dent in the history of the great Uni- versity of Pennsylvania to win the coveted degree of Ph. D. (Doctor of Philosophy) is a member of our race. Blackiston who won this distinction is only twenty-two years of age. He is only one of thousands of our youth who are demonstrating to skeptical America that the present dominant group has no monopoly of brains. With students of our race winning distinction in leading colleges and universities at home and abroad, who dare presume to question our intel- lectua] ability? What reason is there for any one of us doubting the intel- lectual strength of our people? Why may we not aspire to become schol- ars of renown? Every youth who rises intellectually or morally to a higher plane raises by so much the group to which he belongs and con- tributes thereby to the elevation of humanity. There is no monopoly of brains as there is no inherently su- perior races. THE MONITOR | THE THIRD PARTY [RYZE fs the shire party that 1s | going to do such great things in the purgation of American poli- |tics? That there is need for some jsane, sensible Thirg Party, that will combine what is best in both the old |dominant parties, and become the party of the masses rather than of the classes, is very evident. The |Monitor believes that such a party | must eventually come; but the time is not yet. The various disocrdant ele- ments which tried to harmonize at | Chicago was a veritable chorus of Kil- kenny cats. The third party that will \appeal to the hearts and minds of the | American masses is yet to come into being. In the meantime, we must |simply make the best of an obviously [vad situation. “ASKED A PLANK, GIVEN A @PLINTER” Hoe Q. BROWN hit the nail on the head when in her recent address before the Federation of Col- ored Women’s Clubs at Tuskegee she wittily declared that our people had asked the Republican party for an anti-lynching plank in its platform and had been given a splinter. The thunderous applause which her state- ment elicited shows how truly she had interpreted the feeling of the thoughtful women to whom and for whom she spoke. We wonder if the Republican party will realize that not only colored men are thinking hard these days, but colored women as well and moreover that women are voting and their vote is being counted in the pivotal states. “Splinters” are not “planks” and we have had too many “splinters.” GIVE US PAVED STREFTS iT attention of the City Commis- stoners is again most respectful- ly, but emphatically called to the need of paved streets in the portions of the city in which many of our peo- ple live. Money can somehow be found to pave sections far remote from the centre of the city while these closer sections are neglected. The unsightly, unpaved streets practically within the heart of Omaha are a dis- grace. If the City Commissioners are satisfied with this condition, the Chamber of Commerce which is work- ing for a bigger and better Omaha ought not be. Give us paved streets. hea MONITOR urges our people to turn out en masse Friday night to hear Dr. Leroy N. Bundy tell his story of the East St. Louis massacre in which 111 of our people were ruth- lessly slaughtered with such barbar- ism as would disgrace savages. Sim- ilar savagery may be rampant at any time in any American city. Fortu- nately that bloodthirsty mob did not get beyond Dr, Bundy’s house or the tale of black victims would have been larger. Self-defense i not a crime, but a duty. AMERICA’S REIGN OF LYNCH LAW Ve ‘one beholds how American citizens are being lynched, mobbed and burned at the stake in various parts of this country, while the authorities refuse to even attempt tg apprehend the guilty culprits, it looks like democracy is a hollow mock- ery and the constitution of America and the laws of the several states mere “seraps of paper.” A few days ago Duluth, Minn., held a lynching bee and three American citizens were robbed of their lives by ‘a lynchocratic sanhedrin, “accused of rape.” THE UNIVERSAL CAR Ivs no longer necessary to go into the details describing the practical merits of the Ford car—everybody knows all about “The Universal Car.” How it goes and comes day after day and year after year at an operating expense so small that it’s wonderful. This adver- tisement is to urge prospective buyers to place orders without delay. Buy a Ford car when you can get one. We'll take good care of your order—get your Ford to you as soon as possible—and give the best in “after-service” when required. SAMPLE-HART MOTOR CO. 100% Ford Service 18th and Burt Streets OMAHA e HEAR BUNDY ‘Then came Wharton, Tex., last week and shot to death two American citi- zens and hanged two others, bringing her total for.the day up to four. Mississippi came next and lynched a railway postal clerk, simply because he had defended himself against the assault of a white fellow clerk. Paris, Texas, which was the first city in America to burn an American citizen to death on the public square several years ago, pulled off another ‘such stunt Tuesday night, this time burning two American citizens to death. With such a lynching orgy mani- fest over the country, and especially ‘in the South, the Federal government must take charge of the situation and see to it that all American citizens are given the same protection under the law. | There was a time when they ex- cused all lynchings on the grounds that womanhood was the cause; but nowadays no such excuse can be made, for American citizens are the victims of mob law for any kind of an of- fense. Wherever Judge Lynch bobs up his head against our people, the colored people should leave such communities never to return again. After they had lynched four colored Americans in Wharton, an article ap- peared in the white newspaper urging ‘the remaining colored people not to ‘be afraid, as the white people would see that no harm befell them. Smiles! Lynching has become a national ‘pastime and menace, just as we pre- dicted; for where lawlessness is tol- erated and encouraged in one part of the country, it is quite natural for it to break out in another part of the same country, and hence. it ceases to ‘be sectional. Some hold to the opinion that lynch- ‘ing can not be suppressed; that the ‘American people are in hearty accord and sympathy with mob violence and that they regard lynching as a sport, such ag bull fighting, baseball, pugil- ism, et cetera. If Congress can appropriate large sums of money to hire a small army of inspectors to go into the private homes of American citizens and see how much home-made wine, beer, whisky, etc., are on hand, it does ap- pear to The Informer that this same Congress could appropriate sufficient money to run down and punish a few of the many lynchers, mobocrats and anarchists who are making this coun- try the most barbarous and uncivil- ized of all the supposed enlightened ‘nations of the world. | What affects more vitally this country: the possession of a bottle of beer or some other intoxicating bever- age, or the promiscous murdering, mobbing and lynching of American cl- tizens with impunity. If America has any conscience, it is ‘high time that it become awake, for ‘no country can long endure part dem- ‘ocratic, part mobocratic and part hell- ‘ocratie—The Houston (Tex.) In- | former.

NEWELL (© 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate). "Now then, 'Dreams', get a hustle on you with those copies, and put the long stop on that high powered car driven by the Duke of Killicrankle. Even in these days of help shortage we want efficiency just the same." Miss Johnson's razor-like voice struck on Ann Flower's ear like ice. A titter of amusement went around the office at the head clerk's intended witticism, and many eyes were turned for a moment to the gloomy corner where the girl had sat for two years, the target for all the teasing of the department. Somehow or other it had leaked out that Ann-Flower indulged in day dreams, hence the nickname, "Dreams," and the merciless sarcasm that was her lot. "Dreams'—I mean Miss Flower, the 'boss' wants you in his office." Again Miss Johnson's voice snotle Ann's ear like ice, and all eyes flashed to her corner. "The boss?" repeated Ann stupidly. "Yes, the 'boss,' and don't keep him waiting." snapped Miss Johnson. Ann Flower stumbled to her feet. All eyes seemed to burn into her back as she passed up the room. She knew she had not done her work well during the last week, but they did not know what it was to sit up at night and finally have to see a golden haired baby die! Perhaps they did not know what it meant to leave the distracted mother sewing for a living to keep two other little towheads from hunger. Ann had not been satisfied with the doctor, and that morning had herself telephoned for another physician, not the kind that usually calls at apartment houses on the East side of the city, but there was something so insistent, so softly appealing and piteous in the girl's voice over the wire that Doctor Sunderland had promised to come. "Good morning, Miss Flower," the "boss" voice came to the girl's senses through waves of pain. "This is Doctor Sunderland . . . " "Oh, the children are not worse?" Ann interrupted the "boss" introduction in a frightened voice. "No, the kiddies are going to pull through in fine shape, thanks to your foresight, Miss Flower." The "boss" cleared his throat. "Doctor Sunderland has told me, Miss Flower, that you have been sitting up at night with a sick baby for over a week, until it died; you have also been helping out the mother with two other children all this winter, with your salary; you could just as well have left her and gone to more comfortable quarters." "But I couldn't; she was good to me . . . and it was hard for her to get a boarder who liked children . . . and I did. I'm sorry if my work suffered' here . . . but I couldn't leave her when the baby got ill—and died!" Ann Flower's purple blue eyes grew big and piteous. "Honey," the voice of the "boss" was just as soft as any of her southern "mammies." and he came to her side and patted her on the shoulder. "I did not know that I had such a real, live girl in my employ! I guess my character reading expert is worth what I pay him after all, if he gets some like you, bless your heart! But Doctor Sunderland wants to have a talk with you; you've come from a home where there is a pretty sick bunch, and he's afraid that you may be in for a dose. We don't want it spread around the office, and whatever the damage is, remember, I foot the bills." Poor little "Dreams'" head seethed in a whirl of aches and surprises after the "boss" left her in Dr. Sunderland's care. It was a dream of wonderful peace, to find oneself in a cool, gray and white hospital room, with a pretty red-haired nurse ready to do one's bidding. But there were days when little Ann Flower did not answer to Dr. Sunderland's "dear" with a smile of shy welcome, and nights when he would come and shake his head and turn hastily from the pretty, fever-flushed face and wonder why we have to find the best in our scheme of life, to lose it again. There were days, too, when Miss Johnson and the department could not bear to see the patch of sunlight shine on the dust covered typewriter cover in the gloomy corner, without a catch in their throats when they remembered how they had teased dear, patient little "Dreams." But days came when Dr. Sunderland's "dear" won the day. "I take my vacation next week . . . and I am going south," he announced in his most professional manner one day. The shadows got tangled up in Ann Flower's lashes. It would be so lonely without this big, dependable young northerner, who somehow could call her both "honey" and "dear," just as endearingly as they did in the south. "This flu-monia' has left you pretty weak, and I want you to make the trip under my care," he went on calmly. "But . . . " "No. 'buts' in this case, we are going to be married before we start, that is, if you are willing, honey, dear?" And Ann Flower whispered happily from his arms, "They can't call me Dreams' again. I've realized the only 'dream' I ever had . . . just a home, and you!" THE MONITOR Athena Smiles B CONSIDERATION of evening gowns leads us into that realm of apparel where beauty is the paramount and almost the sole consideration. All that the looms have to offer in rich and exquisite products goes into their fashioning and inspires their creators. Satin and ribbons are translated into such clothes, in the two gowns pictured, as must certainly win an approving smile from the goddess of spinners and weavers. Designers have adopted a trick of adding that "splendor dear to women" to the average evening gown by introducing rich and remarkable ribbons into their composition. Beautiful satin and alry tulle are the same in one or another lovely dress, but a flavor of magnificence pervades a gown when a distinctive and royal ribbon becomes a part of it. This is emphasized in the sleeveless, low-cut model pic- Parasols Are f TIME out of mind gay and dainty parasols have flaunted their bright colors in the midsummer's sunshine and cast their soft or glowing shadows over fair faces. But during the war they did not flourish. Being among the luxuries that could be dispensed with and for other reasons, they were not so much used. This season, however, finds them revived, and with midsummer just around the corner, they have come out in considerable force and in distinct styles. Many of them appear to take their cue from midsummer millinery, showing a repetition of the fabrics and colors used in hats, and there are parasols for dress, street and country wear that correspond to dress, tailored and sports hats. The simpler designs outnumber the more elaborate ones. For wear with almost any frock the green parasol with bands of black, or cross bars of black, and all white or white and black designs have the faculty of making a pleasing ensemble. But if one is not confined to a single choice, the made-to-match parasol, of the same materials as the hat worn with it, is smarter than any other. For the street there are navy blue and white combinations in which white organdie figures as a border and in folds on blue silk, these worn with hats of the same combination, match a sea breeze in coolness, and those green silk parasols, with bands of black, suggest cool, leafy shadows cast by the trees. One of these is shown in the picture with handle in black and white enamel, and this model proves very practical. Black and white handles, furnished with large rings to slip over the wrist when the parasol is furled, have proved very popular. Hanging the parasol in this way is about the easiest and safest way of caring for it --- on Satin Gowns tured. It has a slip of plain satin, bodice of sequins and plaited overdress of tulle with medallions in two sizes. A glorious ribbon, in metallic brocade, begins as a girdle, becomes a drapery at the right side, a cascade at the left and ends in a train, trailing from a bow and ends of tulle. Satin and lace join forces in the second lovely gown. The very low bodice is veiled with tulle extending over the shoulders. The apron front and long back drapery of lace reflect a style feature of the season that is not confined to evening dress; it is as popular and effective in frocks for afternoon. Julia Bottomly Again Unfurled when it is off duty as a protector from the sun. There are a number of bracelet ideas in handles, including those of narrow black ribbon with gold or silver slides that carry engraved monograms. A wide-brimmed hat of faille silk overlaid with lace and having a frill of lace about the brim-edge, makes a soft shadow over the face that is deepened and widened by a parasol-to match. As shown in the picture, the set is developed in black silk and white lace, but the color that underlies the lace is a matter for individual choice. Wide white lace with a border provides a means of covering a parasol and hat like this with very little trouble; any seamstress can accomplish the work. The "country club" set shown in the third picture includes a scarf with the hat and parasol so that there are three pieces in it. Pink indestructible crepe is used for this set, and the braid and embroidery decorations are in the same color. Julia Bottomly Pongee Dresses. Pongee dresses are quite the rage in juvenile society this season. Touches of embroidery in contrasting colors, self-ruffles, self-tucking and cording are perhaps the most popular trimming touches. Street frocks of black taffeta are finished with very deep circular cuffs of the same, with a turn-back cuff of white handkerchief linen. Cuffs of Fine Linen.

A TIME TO SIT STEADY The lynching epidemic that has broken out in widely separated sections of the country the last few weeks should be a matter of grave concern to all sane citizens. The psychology of the mob seems to be changing. Formerly the crime of rape, when the offender was a colored man and the victim a white woman, was the inciting cause of practically all lynchings of this character, but of late, other crimes or alleged crimes have served as an excuse for the outbreak of the mob spirit. The extension of the lawless impulse bodes no good for American institutions. To one who has been active in the labor game for a good many years, the thought constantly recurs that there is something in this epidemic of lynching. The sinister influences that have used the Negro as a strikebreaker for many years are doubtless viewing with concern the constantly better feeling manifest between the white and the colored worker. The most effective way to combat this better feeling is to arouse racial hatred, and there is no more potent weapon to be used than the primal instinct to protect the womankind. It is not inconceivable that at least some of the tendency to inflame race prejudice may be traced to propaganda insidiously spread by the interests that are alarmed over the apparent good feeling which is becoming more and more in evidence between the races. This newspaper believes that this is a good time to sit steady. The natural alliance between the colored and the white worker must not be allowed to lapse by appeals to race passion. Criminals, white and black, must be apprehended and punished, but it must be done in an orderly and legal manner. Two wrongs do not make a right, and the lynching of Negroes under, such circumstances as obtained especially in the case of the colored men done to death at Duluth recently, is a direct blow at American institutions, and the white workers who allow themselves to become inflamed toward the colored workers because of the latter's color, are not only guilty of being un-American, but are doing all they can to commit industrial suicide.—Midwest Labor News.

Buddy back on the farm is going to get an awful shock one of these days when he looks skyward during a lull in the plowing. A plane is going to appear overhead and he will instantly recognize the insignia painted on the fuselage of the stellar aero squadron that worked for his division at the time they were hooing their way through the Argonne. In the Home Sector, Frederick J. Darle says: "The decision of the war department to retain the distinguishing insignia will in any event make the identification of the planes easy for civilians. More and more the army planes—old as they are—are undertaking long flights. They appear unexpectedly over cities far away from their stations and many a farmer these days sees a gargantuan propelled beetle settle down in his back pasture. When an army plane comes flying by or lands near us, we will soon look for the insignia, just as everybody once looked for the state automobile license tag when the tourist's dust covered auto passed. When the pedestrian sees a plane decorated with the painting of a kicking mule, a silhouetted, scythe-swinging skeleton or a witch a-strandra a broomstick, he may wonder what battle record the insignia stands for. He may guess rightly that the tiny winged elephant on a plane is a sarcastic commentary on the plane's speed, but he probably would like to know whether this plane is from a burden-bearer squadron that hauled tons of bombs over the lines to drop them on German railway junctions." MADE FEAST FOR LOBSTERS Crustaceans No Doubt Highly Appreciated Mackerel That Seemed to Be Provided for Them. "Charlie" is well known in his home town of Rockland. While covering his route along the south shore, he got a trade on some nice lobsters and purchased six dandles. A fat mackerel also caught his fancy while speculating in sea food and he took along the handsome specimen. Charles put the mackerel in with his lobsters and, cranking up his truck, headed for home. "Ive got something here, all right," said Charles to his better half as he carried the big bundle into the house. He dumped a crawling mass of crustaceans on the table but nowhere could he find his mackerel. Back to the auto he went but the fish had disappeared. When the lobsters were boiled and served it was noticed there was a decided flavor of mackerel to them. The diners' suspicions were aroused and, seeking authority, Charles was told that he had guessed correctly—the lobsters had eaten his mackerel. The hungry shellfish, being brought up on salted herring in the traps, were not slow to realize that an epicurean dish was being served them on the long ride home. They made the most of it, too.—Brockton Enterprise. Lady Duff Gordon said at a tea at the Ritz: "There are young women who would rather be ultra-fashionable than anything else. In their eyes nothing matters but that. "Two young women were lunching when a third young woman passed in the company of an elderly married pair. "There goes Maud,' murmured the first young woman. 'They say that she and old Mr. Goldie spent the weekend at Atlantic City together.' "Oh!' said the second young woman in shocked tones. 'Oh, what a libel on poor Maud! You know you couldn't drag her with wild horses to such a vulgar, common resort as Atlantic City.'" The regular commercial air line has already come to stay. At present the longest passenger air service running, or rather flying, on regular air service is between London and Paris. The distance of 250 miles is flown in about three hours, often less. The fare is at the rate of a shilling a mile, or $67 for the trip. Even today these air passengers enjoy all the luxuries of modern travel. Nearly a score of passengers are carried in a comfortable cabin, seated in upholstered chairs. The cabin is lighted with electric candles and decorated with gilded mirrors. Several transatlantic air lines are planned. It is calculated that they can be run at a profit by charging $500 for an air passage—Boys' Life. Success and Failure Ellhu Root on his seventy-fifth birthday reception in New York, talked philosophically about success and failure. "After all," said a poet, "it's no disgrace to fall if you have done your best." "Maybe not," said Mr. Root, "but all the same it's pretty rough to admit that the best you can do is to fall." China's Potential Armies. If, in a war, an enemy started killing Chinese soldiers at a million men a year, and if China were using 10 per cent of her population in that war, it would take fifty years to destroy her first armies, and in that period two further Chinese forces of fifty million would grow up to confront their enemy.-Basil Mathews in the British Review of Reviews.

Sarah drew aside the ruffled curtain to look down the country road. It was not a cheery outlook, with rain making pools of the deep worn ruts, and somber clouds turning the twilight to darkness. But Sarah took in the view philosophically, just as she took the cheerlessness and somberness of her own life. Time had been, years ago, when the roadside cottage was a house of mirth, merry with young people's laughter and comfortable with the protecting presence of the old. Sarah's parents had long since passed to their reward, while the sisters, who were all older than she, lived in various distant homes, more or less selfishly absorbed in their own families. Sarah had clung to the old place, at first through duty to her older invalids, then because there was no place else to go. She managed to keep the cottage heated and comfortable; to tend and sing over the vegetables in her garden, to keep there, aside, a little plot of flowers with which to cheer the sick or rejoice, perhaps, in some affair of the living. Sarah was always glad when the stories ended happily, and sometimes, after she had laid the paper aside, she would sit in the cozy, silent room before the fire, picturing to herself a romance which might have been her own. Sarah was sixty now—a good, wholesome, pink-cheeked sixty—but she had put her love of love aside. She lighted another yellow shaded lamp in the small yellow dining room and moved about setting the supper table. She smiled with a sort of weary amusement as she put down a second cup and plate opposite her own, then added a knife and fork for company. For twenty years Sarah had been doing this same useless thing. It seemed less like being alone to see that other place ready—and waiting, almost as if the door might open at any moment to admit her companion. Then when the supper was quite ready Sarah went out to the stable to shut up old Moll for the night. Moll was the white horse, and Sarah's desolation so preyed upon her out there in the rain and the darkness that she was tempted to linger beside old Moll, just to feel the comfort of a living presence. And as she stumbled up the steps of the back porch she came all at once face to face with the human presence of a smilingly apologetic and very wet old man. Raindrops were gleaming on his white beard, rivulets ran from the brim of his felt hat. "Beg pardon, ma'am," said the old man gently, "but I reckon I've come pretty far in the storm and can't get on to where I was goin'. Kin I dry up a spell by your fire which shines through the window? It looks inviting. I must say." And as the old man's request was coupled with a very evident shiver, Sarah's protective heart immediately responded. "Go right in ahead of me," she said cordially; "it ain't no time for formalities." But when the old man was rid of his overcoat and was resting in Sarah's father's arm chair he smiled again in his deprecatory way and took a card from his pocket. "That's my name," he said, "Ebenezer Styles. Reckon you're acquainted with young E. Styles? Well, he's my son." "Ebene Styles," Sarah repeated, awed, "the lawyer down to the village—him, your son? Hadn't you better telephone to keep him from worryin' for fear you aren't coming back." The old man sadly shook his head. "The only thing that'll worry Eb—or leastways Eb.'s wife," he said slowly, "is the fear that I will come back. Seems I kind of make 'em shamed all the time. Eb.'s wife she ain't been used to my kind. An' reckon—" The wrinkled face lit up with grim humor. "Reckon I don't never want to get used to her kind. So when I telephone 'em it'll be just to say that I ain't gin' back." "But what," asked Sarah wonderingly, "he you gin' to do?" "That," Ebenezer Styles replied, "will be decided later. I've sold property, an' I get my interest regular from the money what I sold it for." "Just now, then," Sarah said briskly, "come an' have a little supper." The old man looked hesitatingly at the table laid so neatly for two. "You was expectin' company," he said, "ain't I puttin' somebody out?" "For twenty years," she said, "I bin expectin' somebody, an' until tonight nobody ever came." Long the man and woman sat in the sunshine of the yellow lamp, with the storm but an echo outside, pouring into each other's sympathetic and understanding ears a story of lonely years past. "For being with just folks," Ebenezer told her, "can't always keep one from bein' lonesome; why, when I used to walk up here an' sit to the side of the road a-watchin' an' watchin' you in your garden, seemed you must be like-ma. Seemed it'd be mighty nice if I could work beside you there. But land!" he exclaimed, "you will think I'm queer goin' on like this." Sarah's eyes were visionary. "You watched me?" she asked slowly, "in my garden?" Ebenezer nodded. "My! you are like ma," he said admirably. And this was Sarah's romance. THE NEGRO FOURTH ESTATE AND PRE-WAR PROPERITY (Continued From Page One.) Every paper has correspondents in all of its territory and in states beyond that might be supposed to be its territory. There are also news agencies. The most important of these by far is the Associated Negro Press. Through special correspondents in every city of the country it gathers the racial news and sends this out regularly to its large membership. About seventy-five papers receive these communications directly, but all get it sooner or later. Nothing racial escapes the Argus-eyed colored press. The editorial writer, the reporter, and the poet are ably seconded by the picture-maker. A half-dozen very effective cartoonists are providing single papers or groups with the story of current events: riots, lynchings, travesties of justice, jim crowism, disfranchisement, and all the effects of racial prejudice and hate. Everybody can read a picture. Nor does the scene it conjures up fade out of the soul. This press features two or three classes of items of a racial import. Equal prominence is given on the front page and in the headlines to the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon the Negroes because of color, and to racial achievements, new activities, new business firms and enterprises, Negro benevolences, and the like. Race progress—race persecution: that is their main story. But a third species of news ranks close to these, sometimes taking precedence: news of movements on the part of the whites toward real race adjustment on the basis of justice, news of serious efforts toward racial co-operation, news of forthright utterances in advocacy of their cause. This news they offer on their front page under conspicuous headlines. Neglecting White Press. The new-born prosperity of the Negro press signifies a corresponding neglect on the part of the colored people of the white press. They will not longer trust the whites to furnish them the news, to teach them how to think. Too often have they been beguiled. The saying now runs: "There's a white man somewhere in the wood-pile." In the columns of the*colored papers alongside of expressions of exultation in their own success run the severest arraignments of the white press for its falsification and suppression of racial news, for prejudiced comment, and for RATES-4 cents a word for single insertions; 2 cents a word for two or more insertions.

The white papers by their false and flaring headlines and exaggerated, mainly fictitious, accounts of Negro assaults upon white women are denounced by the colored editors as responsible for practically all of the race riots of last year. The universal radicalism of the Afro-American press—using that term in the sense of demanding a fundamental change; the almost absolute unanimity of that press in its statement of grievances and demands—many voices, but only one mind; the resoluteness of tone and manifest determination never to withdraw from the battle for "equal rights"—these are the impressions that are the most outstanding with me from my much perusal of the weeklies that regularly reach me.
