GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Annual Convention to Meet in "City of Brotherly Love." Lively Sessions Centering Around Election of President Anticipated. BANKER BROWN BOOM IS BEING BOOSTED PHILADELPHIA, PA., August 5. The Annual Session of the National Negro Business League, aside from the program of unusual proportions prepared for the occasion, promises to make things very lively in the election of officers for the ensuing year. At the convention in St. Louis, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was elected president. He succeeded J. C. Napier, the well known banker of Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Moton's selection by the nominating committee, of which Perry W. Howard of Jackson, Miss., was chairman, came about only after several days of heated discussions and clever maneuvering by his friends. At one time, it looked as if the committee were going to nominate Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the national secretary, and Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University. Thereupon, the Moton following threatened to carry their fight to the floor of the convention. Matters were adjusted, however, and the report of the nominating committee was adopted unanimously. The year has been marked with but slightly more activity, and general achievement, so far as the general public knows, than the previous year. It was decided to open national headquarters in Washington, but this was only accomplished in a modest way, a few months ago. The scope of the activities is not nearly as pretentious as at first contemplated. Thereupon, the discussion of officers has become a lively topic among the delegates who are shaping their affairs to be in Philadelphia, August 15 to 20. A group of the friends of E. C. Brown, the banker of this city, head of the firm of Brown and Stevens, and owners of the Dunbar Theatre, are grooming him for the head of the Business League, and have begun an active campaign in his behalf. Biographies containing detailed accounts of Mr. Brown's career, are being distributed, particularly among the newspapers, and the facts are set forth that he will make an ideal president, "for the organization should have a business man for president," it is claimed. The friends of Dr. Moton, who has a large following, particularly in the South, which furnishes the largest array of delegates, are letting it be understood, that they intend to back the successor of Booker T. Washington for another term in the office of president of the Business League. They state that he has been as activ as any official could be under the circumstances, and that he is known to have a program, which he will enunciate at the convention, that will place the organization in the very front rank of national achievement. During the life of Booker T. Washington, the success of the Business League was built up around his marvelous personality, and as the founder he was always president, and the election of officers was more or less a matter of form. With his passing, a new economic change has come over the nation and the race, and the opportunities for a strong, going national business organization were never brighter. The contest for office promises to be a new feature at the Philadelphia meeting, and is expected to precipitate more liveliness than anything that has occurred in the annals of the Business League's history. The attendance promises to be the largest since the organization was formed. RETURNS FROM AN EXTENSIVE SOUTHERN TRIP Mrs. Jessie Hale-Moss, president of the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P., returned Friday from an extensive southern trip. Mrs. Moss went as a delegate to the Eleventh Annual National Convention of the Association, which was held at Atlanta, Ga., in June. After the convention she visited points in Georgia and Louisiana. She spent some time at her former home in Ohio. Her mothers, Mrs Hale, returned with her from Ohio. THE MONITOR BROOKLYN TO HAVE COLORED ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH by Associated Negro Press.) Brooklyn, N. Y., ug. 5.—The Rt. Charles E. McDonnell, D.D. Brooklyn, will soon provide a for the Colored Roman Catholic people of this boro. The Rev. Bernard Quinn, curate of the church of Our Lady of Mercy, who has been identified with work among the people of the race, and who has given considerable time to religious work among the people, as well as attending to his parish duties at the church of Our Lady of Mercy, has been assigned as rector of the new parish. MOVEMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 5.—The movement for law enforcement is spreading throughout the south. The unorganized majority sentiment against mob violence is being unified, organized, and made effective. The Law and Order League of Tennessee, with its branches in almost every county of the state, has led the way, and the co-operating colored league, with its equally wide organization, has shown the effectiveness of points of contact between the better elements of both races. One of the results is the growing good will and co-operation between white and black in this state. Mississippi Mayor Makes Precedent Causes Banner to Be Suspended Over Main Street of City Urging Co-operation of Both Races in Meeting Acute Situation. CANTON, MISS., August 5.—An unusual insignia that has never been seen in any Southern city and in fact no city in America is flying across the streets of Canton today. The insignia reads: "white and colored people, let's come together for the best interest of all." The move that is being made to bring a better understanding between the races is a result of the large exodus of Negroes from the state to northern cities. It is said that the State of Mississippi has lost over one-half of its colored population as the result of mob violence and that labor is at a premium for the farms and other minor occupations. This fact has caused the leading white people of the state to openly condemn the mal-treatment of the Negroes in Mississippi and a move is on to work for harmony among the races. Statistics gathered since the beginning of spring show that approximately 25,000 Negroes have left the state and each train is carrying loads to other sections. It is said that unless the exodus is stopped that the state will be unable to move the crop that has been made next fall. Another move that is being made to show the Negroes of the state that they are to be dealt with fairly in the future is that a large number of cities are preparing to build better schools for the Negro children. TENNIS TOURNAMENT The Swatiska Racquet Club will give a three days tennis tournament August 11 to 13th on the grounds at twenty-eighth and Miami. On August 13th after the tournament the club will give a "Jinx" lawn social at the residence of the president Miss Madeline Roberts, 2610 North Twenty-eighth avenue. The club challenges tennis players to enter the tournament and invites the public to attend the lawn social. The Loyal theater was crowded at every performance of "The Homesteader," the popular movie, written and staged by colored folk, which was shown Monday and Tuesday night. Crowds were waiting outside of the Loyal for opportunity to enter. It is an attractive and well pictured story of western life. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Shipman were week-end visitors from Lexington, Neb. The Shipman Bros. are railroad contract graders. They have a contract for grading twenty-one miles for the Union Pacific at Lexington. Thirteen miles have been completed. The Shipmans hope to return to their Omaha home the latter part of September. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 5, 1920 BISHOP MATTHEW W. CLAIR WILL BE AN OMAHA VISITOR Distinguished Washington Pastor Recently Elected Bishop by the Methodist Episcopal Church, and One of the First Members of His Race to Be So Honored by His Denomination Will Speak at Grove Methodist Episcopal Church, August 15. [Portrait of a man seated in a chair, dressed in formal attire with a white shirt and a dark suit, holding a sword in his left hand. The background is plain and dark, providing contrast to the subject.] [The image is in black and white, with a plain background and no additional elements. The focus is on the man's face and upper body.] OMAHA is to be favored with a visit from the Rt. Rev. Rev. Matthew W. Clair of Washington, D. C., one of two colored men, the first of their race to be so honored by their denimination, recently elected as bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church at the General Conference held in Des Moines, Ia. For many years there has been a demand for the election of colored bishops in the Methodist Episcopal church. The question has come up repeatedly and several times it looked as though leading candidates would be chosen. It remained for the last General Conference to grant this merited recognition. Two were chosen, the Rev. Matthew W. Clair of Washington, D. C., and the Rev. Robert E. Jones, men of character and scholarship and well qualified for the position Bishop Clair will visit Omaha, Sunday, August 15. At 11 a. m. he will preach at Grove Methodist Episcopal Church, Twenty-second and Seward streets. At 3 o'clock he will address a mass meeting of the citizens, churches and congregations in the interest of the Colored Y. M. C. A. At this meeting Mr. W. H. Higgins of Chicago, son-in-law of the late Rev. M. C. B. Mason and a Y. M. C. A. official, will also speak.

PRESIDENT KAFFIR CHEMICAL LABORATORIES TAKES BUSINESS TRIE Miss Madree Penn, president of the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, Inc., manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, medicines, toilet preparations, and other household necessities, left Thursday for Kansas City, Mo., and other points in the South and South- interested in the welfare of young Negro manhood are invited to be present at this meeting. At 8 o'clock Bishop Clair will speak at the Methodist Church, at Thirty-second and U streets, South Omaha, of which the Rev. W. C. Conwell is pastor. And it is expected that other opportunities will be given the people of the city to meet Bishop Clair. Bishop Clair, who is a graduate of Howard University and Morgan College has been recognized as a man of scholarship and a preacher of great power for many years. His whole pastorate has been passed in the Washington conference. For 18 years he was pastor of Asbury M. E. church Washington, D. C., from which position he was elected bishop. During the last year of his pastorate he built a magnificent new edifice at a cost of $100,000. There is a story current to the effect that some years ago a leading Washington newspaper offered a trip abroad to the most popular minister at the national capital. When the votes were counted the winner was the Rev. Matthew W. Clair, but when it was learned that he was a colored man there was some hitch in carrying out the program. His popularity however, was shown in the voting. west on business for the company. Miss Penn expects to be gone for a month. She will close contracts with reliable firms, energetic and wide-awake young men and women who will push Kaffir products in their respective territories. COMMERCIAL COMMISSIONER An opportunity was given the members of the executive committee of the Colored Commercial Club and their wives, to meet the recently chosen assistant commissioner, Mrs. Grace Hutten, at a pleasant informal reception held Saturday night from 9 to 10 o'clock, at the club rooms. OMAHA BOY MAKING GOOD William Ray, who is well known in Omaha, is now a very successful and prosperous farmer near Dunlap, Kan, according to the Rev. G. G. Logan, who has just returned from that prosperous farming community, where members of our race own a number of farms. Mr. Ray has a farm of nearly 400 acres, 200 of which are in wheat and alfalfa. His pastures are stocked with 100 head of cattle and horses. He is highly respected in his community. CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE HAS LARGE ATTENDANCE (By Associated Negro Press.) Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 5.—More than 1,000 delegates, representing every county in the state of Tennessee, were in attendance at the first annual meeting of the People's Cooperative League recently, held here in the chapel of the A. and I. State Normal. The objects of the League, which has local branches in fifty-five counties, is co-operation along all lines making for racial betterment and inter-racial amity and good will. A cordial reception has been accorded the plans and ideas of the League by members of both races and white leaders in various counties have recognized the value of the organization. THE MILLENIUM DAWNING IN TEXAS (By Associated Negro Press.) Paris, Texas, Aug. 5.—The special grand jury drawn to investigate the recent burning of two colored Americans, held on charges of murdering a farmer and his son, reported five indictments for first degree murder and adjourned. In its report it was stated that many of the witnesses examined could not positively identify any of the crowd at the burning as ringleaders. The names of those indicted were not made public pending the arrests. Chamber of Commerce Takes Wise Action Would Give Race Better Housing Conditions, Particularly in Farming Districts and Would Provide Better Schools. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 5.—The Memphis Chamber of Commerce created a Farm Development Bureau when the bottom dropped out of the cotton market in 1914. The bureau has since steadily advocated diversified farming and a better lease system for colored tenants. It has secured co-operation from the state university and the county agricultural and canning agents in providing speakers for meetings arranged at the colored school houses of the county. These meetings last four days each, include lectures, demonstrations of improved methods of farming, talks on school improvement, and the bettering of home and community life in the country—including the building up of understanding and co-operation between the races. Prominent business men of Memphis take part in the meetings. "In a recent talk," writes one of these men, "I stressed the fact that better treatment of the Negro was to the interest of the white people; and that where that treatment was not yet satisfactory the colored people should recognize that it was due to mistake rather than to deliberate intention. Some had failed to realize the importance of the colored man if the community was to develop; but all would recognize it in time. Every year shows an improvement." BLACKSTONE WAITERS HONOR WAITRESS Miss Lulu Williams, the lone waitress at the Blackstone hotel, was tendered a banquet and reception Friday evening, July 23, at the Monarch cafe by the crew of the hotel. Covers were laid for eight. The table was profusely decorated with choice flowers. The menu consisted of the delicacies of the season. At the close of the dinner Miss Williams was presented with a beautifully engraved wrist watch from the Blackstone hotel waiters as a token of their esteem. J. W. Shields, the head waiter, making the presentation speech. JOINS MONITOR STAFF JOINS MONITOR STAFF George H. W. Bullock, until recently director of Community Service, has joined the Monitor staff.

No. 6 (Whole No. 266) Churchmen Condemn Mob Violence The Bishop of Mississippi, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Georgia and Other Prominent Religious Leaders in South Would Stop Dastardly Work of Mobs.—Demand Justice for Negro. PULPIT BECOMING OUTSPOKEN FOR RIGHT GREENSBORO, N. C., Aug. 5.—An unusual number of prominent white churchmen, ministers and laymen, have in the last few weeks spoken before large audiences of their own people in behalf of the Negro. The Bishop-Coadjutor of Mississippi at his recent diocesan convention, made a telling speech against mob violence in general and that of his own state in particular and urged his hearers to uphold divine and human law by putting a stop to this crime. The Roman Catholic bishop of Georgia recently published a strong appeal for legal and economic justice in that state without regard to race. Dr. Alexander, of Atlanta, representing the Interchurch World Movement before the Southern Methodist women in their annual Council, urged wider recognition of the Negro's rights and privileges, and the obligations of white Christians to give the Negro child better care and fuller opportunity. Dr. Blackwell of Virginia, president of Randolph-Macon college, speaking before a Methodist conference, laid on Southern white Christians the obligation for ending mob violence and making race clashes impossible. Dr. Blackwell especially commended the inter-racial conferences being held in most of the Southern states, as a means of better understanding of the Negro and the causes of his unrest. He urged the protection of colored people from racial influences by a policy of open justice and sympathy from their white neighbors, to whom they should be able to turn for the righting of any wrong imposed upon them. Bishop Bratton of Mississippi, in his address as president of the Southern Sociological Congress, declared Christian ethics the only solution of race problems for white or black; and in closing the conference he made a moving appeal to the Negroes for patience and faith in the growing body of white men and women who are determined to work out relations between the races in harmony with Christian principles. The Southern Baptist Convention in May took an equally pronounced stand. The convention especially commended the inter-racial conferences already referred to, and urged active co-operation with them. These are but a few instances of many. Church leadership is especially strong in the South; and nothing is more promising in the outlook for inter-racial harmony than this movement in church ranks. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. PICNICS AT LAKE MANAWA Special cars took a large number of men, women and children to Lake Manawa last Thursday for the annual picnic of St. John's A. M. E. church. Games and the various amusements provided by the management furnished all ample opportunity for enjoyment. A pleasant time was reported. IS AWARDED PRIZE FOR RELIGIOUS ESSAY Mrs. Luda B. Moore Writes Treatise That Impressed Sunday School Congress. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 5.—Mrs. Luda B. Moore, prominent church worker, was agreeably surprised when notified by the Rev. A. Connellly, of Paducah, Ky., that she was awarded one of the 35 gold handled umbrellas, valued at $25, given in the national contest for written essays on "Religious Works." These prizes have been awarded for the past five years by the Baptist Sunday School Congress. Mrs. Moore chose for her subject "A Thorough Knowledge of the Bible and Spirit of Christ," two essentials in the life of Sunday school teachers, which the author read before the congress in Muskogee, Okla. The concise, forceful wording of the composition, its masterful and clever delivery, well deserved the recognition received by Mrs. Moore.

THE ASSOCIATED NICRO PRESS "LET'S COME TOGETHER." THE mayor of Canton, Miss., has done an unusual thing. He has stretched across the principal street of the city a banner with this brave device: "WHITE AND COLORED PEOPLE, LET'S COME TOGETHER FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL." Sime might be inclined to overlook the significance of this invitation. When one takes into account the attitude of the average white American towards the colored American and especially the attitude of the South, this incident looms large in its significance. It is not customary in the South, for it runs counter to their traditions, for white people to give any consideration whatsoever to the opinions of colored folk when it comes to a matter of the latter's civic, social, industrial, educational and political rights. As a matter of fact, speaking broadly, the former do not concede that the latter group have any right to have opinions of their own. The general idea of the white group is that they and they only know what is best for the black group. Whatsoever, therefore, they may do for colored folk is based on this premise. This is a caucasian characteristic, as difficult of eradication, though subject to modification, as it is for "the Ethiopian to change his skin," or as was the case of the latter before recent pigment-blanching "scientific discoveries." From tradition and training the caucasian to sovereignty and dictation. Self-determination is his by sovereign right. This is his view point, it is from psychology that his attitude towards other ethnic groups can be understood and explained. Environment and contact, through competition, intellectual and other, with other groups may modify, but seldom wholly change this attitude. Southern provincialism, and provincialism always dwarfs and narrows, has intensified this attitude toward the more backward group, for whose backwardness the more favored group is primarily responsible. That a Southern mayor should invite both groups to come together for a free and frank discussion of their mutual interests is then a most significant and hopeful sign. It indicates the only way in which the black and white races in this country, between whom there seems to be the most friction and misunderstanding, can ever have respect for one another and live in harmony and good-will together. There ought to be and The Monitor believes there is enough of the spirit of Christianity in the hearts of the white people and we know there is in the hearts of the black people of this country in the South, where "the problem," as we call it, is now most acute, as well as in the North where it is becoming increasingly noticeable, to constrain them "to come together for the best interest of all." Humanity is so bound together that an injury to one is an injury to all. A dominant group today because they have the power may believe that they can do what they list to an under group, but they reckon without the cost. Permanence of rule rests upon justice only. And where there is the desire to give justice, there is always a way found. The race problem in the South, and in the North as well, is simply a problem of justice and square dealing between man and man, the one by what we call "accident of birth" white, the other black. And where there is a willingness to "come together for the best interest of all" and things being as they are the invitation must come from the white side to the black side, and this invitation must be sincere and in no spirit of condescension or patronage a way can and will be found for mutual respect and amity and a spirit of justice and co-operation which will make for the common weal. We hope that everywhere in this country, whatever may be the moving cause, there may be evoked the spirit of brotherliness and true democracy evidently sought by the Mississippi mayor is flinging a banner to the breeze bearing the talismanic legend 2 MEMBER OF "WHITE AND COLORED PEOPLE, LET'S COME TOGETHER FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL." This is good advice for any community and blazes the pathway not only of mutual sympathy, mutual respect, mutual happiness and good will, but national integrity, safety and prosperity. "LET'S COME TOGETHER." POLITICAL managers and forecaster place Nebraska among the doubtful states. It is not counted upon as being "safely republican." Its electoral vote may be cast for either Harding or Cox. Strong efforts are therefore to be made by both parties to carry Nebraska. This being so, it is very essential that due consideration be given the colored vote in this state which, though traditionally republican, can no longer be depended upon to vote the republican ticket from sentiment. Governor Cox, because of his general fairness to our people in Ohio, has hundreds of warm admirers here as elsewhere, because it must not be forgotten that our people read and think and are disposed to favor those who have shown themselves favorable towards us. Cox has this reputation. It is a valuable asset. Senator Harding, whose candidacy The Monitor favors and whom we intend to support, is not going to have a walkaway. He will need every vote he can get. He will need and we hope he will receive practically the solid vote of our people in Nebraska. The Monitor will do all in its power to accomplish this; because we believe the interests of the entire country will be best served by the return of republicans to power. It will take work and plenty of it to place Nebraska safely in the republican column. Forecasters concede that Nebraska is a doubtful state. RADICAL OR CONSERVATIVE. WE WERE asked a serious question the other day by an esteemed friend. It was this: "Do you belong to the radical or conservative group of your race?" Our reply was in substance this: "In our group there are radicals and radicals; conservatives and conservatives. It all depends upon who is making the classification. From the viewpoint of many of your race any man or woman of my race who demands, however justly and sanely, the constitutional rights of his people, is considered a dangerous and ultra radical. By other broad-visioned people he is denominated conservative. If standing, as I have, and always expect to stand at whatever cost to me personally, uncompromisingly for the full constitutional rights of our people as American citizens, is radicalism, then I am a radical. If you understand by "radical" one who advocates the overthrow of government, and the obtaining of our rights of citizenship by an appeal to violence and force rather than by a persistent appeal by a campaign of pitiless publicity to the better conscience of the American people, whatever anybody may have told you this class of radical is an exceedingly rare individual among colored Americans and I have not the distinction of belonging to that group. Among the trained men and women of color you will find the "radicals" of the first class predominating." This was our answer. We have, however, always considered ourself rather conservative. We had never been asked the question before and so had never thought about it. We really wonder whether we are a radical or a conservative, and after all what is the real difference between the two? Is it not rather one of method than of objective? Suppose you do some self-questioning and ask yourself whether you are a radical or a conservative and what you really mean by these repective terms.

MONITOR ADVERTISERS MOST COSTLY RACIAL FILM EVER MADE 3 4 COMES TO OMAHA Race Film Production That Created Sensation Chicago to Be Shown at Loyal Theatre. Another of the Micheaux productions, "Within Our Gates," will be seen for two days at the Loyal Theater Twenty-fourth and Caldwell streets, begins Monday, August 9. This is the picture that it required two solid months to get by the censor board and it is the claim of the author and producer that while it is a bit radical it is withal the biggest protest against race prejudice, lynching and "concubinage" that was ever written or filmed and that there are more thrills and gripping, holding moments than was ever seen in any individual productions. The scenes are laid in the South, were the outrages are most predominant and the author has not minced words in presenting the facts as they really exist. To give you a slight idea of what the story is like we publish the following paragraph, taken from the middle part of the scenario: "It was late in September in Mississippi; the cotton had been picked, ginned, baled and delivered. There was to be a picnic and night festival, and on the preceding afternoon Jasper Landry, with a statement of account, prepared by his daughter, Sylvia, who was 'going away to school,' went to the plantation offices of Philip Girdlestone, white, to make a settlement. Now, there was a worthless, unlikable fellow named Ep. He was known as Classified Advertising RATES—4 cents a word for single insertions; 2 cents a word for two or more insertions.

Eph, secreted to peep upon the controversy, which he had planned, turned away to giggle when a shot rent the air. He whirled—and saw Girdlestone falling to the floor, mortally wounded, with Landry standing over him holding a smoking revolver. So away went Eph with a greater tale than ever to tell."
