LYNCHERS CONVICTED GROWING. THANK YOU! $3.00 a Year. 10c a Copy IYN DULUTH M TS State Vigorot Rosecutting Men Charged with Lynching Three Circus Employees Here in June. Believed Several Convictions Will Be Secured. STEPHENSON AND DONDO GUILTY OF RIOTING (Special To The Monitor.) DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 16.—Great interest is centering in the trials of several men held here for rioting and murder in connection with the lynching of the three circus employees, colored, accused of raping a West Duluth girl in June. The affadavit of the attending physician that the girl was not violated and the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault have intensified the horror of the people of Duluth for the work of the mob. This sentiment is strongly alert and may have an important bearing upon securing convictions. The first man to be placed on trial was Gilbert H. Stephenson. The trial was held in Judge Fesler's court. The evidence against Stephenson was strong. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against him after less than an hour's deliberation. This verdict was rendered September 3d. An equally strong chain of evidence is being woven about others and it is confidently believed that several convictions will be secured. Nineteen Are to be Tried. The evidence has incidentally disclosed the incompetence, indifference or equicession of Duluths police force at the time of the lynching. Ample time was given to the police to have prevented the disgrace which Duluth citizens keenly feel and for which they must pay a heavy price. In the case of Rozon who is alleged to have said "To Heli with the Law," the first jury disregreed. He will be tried again. His first trial occupied a whole week. Attorney Forbes Makes Elongent Plaa Attorney Forbes Makes Eloquent Plea Speaking before the jury in an eloquent plea for justice, Attorney Forbes said, "Duluth's reputation for law ad order is at stake. The whole country is waiting with bated breath to see whether in Duluth our system of government, the laws upon which are based our respect for the rights or an individual are to be respected or thrown to the winds. The public wants to know what you jurors are willing to do to remove the stain which was blotted into the history of Duluth when the defendants snapped their fingers at authority. You men are on trial. The entire jury system is on trial." Continuing, Attorney Forbes declared: "These men who are charged with rioting; these men who didn't believe in law and order, who took the position that a jury trial wasn't a safe way to administer substantial justice in so far as Negro suspects were cocerned, who refused to let twelve men such as you determine their guilt or innocence, now come into court and ask you gentlemen of the jury, the same protection under the Constitution and laws of our land that they denied these black men." Jury System on Trial. "It is for you to determine whether men who endeavor to take the law into their own hands can do it with impunity. The eyes of the northwest are on this case. The public wats to know what this jury is willing to do to remove the stain that has been put on this city's reputation by that disgraceful outrage of June 15 last." The first five prosecutions of men alleged to have participated in or instigated the riot of June 15 last, when a Duluth mob took three Negroes from the police and lynched them, has resulted in two convictions, two acquittals and one hung jury. Gilbert Henry Stephenson, alleged cell breaker, and Louis Dondino, who THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS.

DESDUNE'S BAND FEATURE OF FAIR Gives Five Concerts Daily and People Clamor for More. Given Post of Honor in Front of Amplitheater. Hundreds of Thousands Applaud Omahn's Famous Band. GENERAL PERSHING COMPLIMENTS LEADER LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 16.—Hundreds of thousands of people attended the Nebraska State Fair which closed here last Thursday. Attractions provided by the alert management were various and celebrated. No attraction or feature of the fair surpassed Dan Desdunes' band of Omaha. The unanimous sentiment was that among the ten bands here the famous colored band was the stellar attraction. It seemed to interpret and express the sentiment of the people. It is noteworthy that Desdunes band was given the post of honor in front of the ampitheater. It was chosen to give the opening and closing concerts of each day. In fact the band gave five concerts daily and yet the people wanted more. The band gave concerts at 10 a. m., and at 1, 4, 7 and 10 p. m. One amusing incident that throws light upon the manner in which the people appreciated the band's music is told by one of Innes' men. Innes' band had just finished one of its finest selections, when two ladies approached him, and said, "Pardon us, Mr. Innes, but can you tell us when Desdunes' band is going to play "How's that for naivette?" Thursday afternoon General Pershing, who was in citizen's clothes, accompanied by his family, quietly entered his box. Desdunes recognized him and directed the band to play "America." The effect was electrical. At the close of the concert General Pershing called Dan Desdunes over to his box and personally complimented him. Shaking hands with him, he said, "I want to thank you for your music and to compliment you upon your band. You have one of the best trained bands I have ever heard. When I was in Omaha, I did not get a chance to hear you; but my family and self were delighted this afternoon at having that pleasure. Again (and putting out his hand) I want to congratulate you on your good work." OBJECT TO BATH HOUSE Florida Mayor Contends That Bathing Is a Necessity Even for Negroes, Despite Protests of Whites. (By Associated Negro Press.) St. Petersburg, Fla., Sept. 16.—When he heard that residents were preparing to file an injunction to prevent the city building the proposed bathing pavilion for Negroes on the water front, Mayor Noel A. Mitchell said that it may take two injunctions to prevent the city from building this bathing pavilion. "They have not a legal leg to stand on, as the Negro bathing beach is a half-mile from the nearest home and OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 16, 1920 68,000 G. O. P.

CANADIAN INDIANS READ NEWSPAPERS (By Associated Negro Press.) Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Sept. 16. —That Canadian Indians are quite up to date, read the daily newspapers, are familiar with modern slang and resent any attempts to consider them as living in the past is instanced by a protest sent to a northern Ontario newspaper which had reported them as afraid of the giant hydroplane in the service of the Abitibi Pulp and Paper Company, Cochrane, Ontario. “You can tell the world that the paleface newspapers are black-hearted fabricators,” the protest reads. “Us afraid of hydroplanes! Humph. Nothing doing. The Indians are too well used to seeing the white man going up in the air to be bothered by any little hydroplane. Why, we are not afraid of a thrashing machine, an Ingersoll watch or a Ford automobile. The Indians are not afraid of noise, nor are they alarmed of mystified machinery. We use wheelbarrows and phonographs regularly ourselves. Those paleface newspapers should quit kidding themselves and their readers.” BLOUNT FOR GOVERNOR LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 16.—T. J. Terral, secretary of state, has announced the name of J. H. Blount, Negro, will appear on the ballot in the November general election as a candidate for Governor AMERICAN LEGION TAKES RIGHT STAND Passes Resolution Demanding Justice for Negro and Urges Various State Posts to Be Energetic in Promoting Harmony Between Races. (By Associated Negro Press.) JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 16.—The Mississippi division of the American Legion, in its annual session here recently, adopted a resolution for justice that has startled the natives. Many old-timers are rubbing their eyes to see if they have "seen through a glass darkly," and the younger generation, particularly the soldier boys who saw service in France, are pointing to the expression with pride, saying: "This is the new voice of the South speaking in denunciation of the old regime." The resolution reads: "We regard the so-called Negro problem in Mississippi, and the South generally, as an actual condition and not a mere theory for discussion, agitation and settlement by demagogues and politicians; that we realize the Negro is with us, a part of us, and is here to stay; that he is an important and indispensable factor in our industrial life, and as such is entitled to a square deal, and should be treated with common honesty in all his relations with the white race; that we urge all local posts in this jurisdiction to give this subject close attention and put forth their best efforts for the promotion of harmony between the races, in order that our common welfare may be served." Vol. VI. No. 12 (Whole No. 272) CTED --- Commenting on the resolution editorially, the New Orleans (La.) Item, one of the leading daily newspapers, says: "Mississippi is one of the Southern states which has suffered most acutely from crimes of violence against colored people, at the hands of lawless and ignorant mobs, not only in reputation among their sister states, but economically in loss of population and labor. The law-abiding and justice-loving citizens who are in a tremendous majority in every state, North and South, will rejoice to see the flower of their manhood taking a firm stand for justice and right. "If there is such a thing as a superior race, its members must prove it by setting an example of law observance, toleration, comprehension, justice, kindness, and common honesty. Hatred, prejudice, violence and dishonesty are marks of inferiority. We hope the good people of Mississippi will support its Legionaires in the stand they have taken, and that other Southern states will observe and profit by the example."

HARDING RECEIVES COLORED DELEGATION Religious Conventions in Session at Dayton and Columbus Afford Opportunity to Pay Respects to Republican Presidential Nominee, Pledge Him Support and Express Confidence in His Stand for Justice. ATTORNEY LEWIS ACTS AS SPOKESMAN Senator Harding Promises Justice and Equal Opportunities in Event of His Election. Praises Valor of Troops and Patriotism of Race. General Pershing Also Delivers Brief Address. MARION. Ohio, Sept. 16.—Last Friday saw a great concourse of colored American citizens here to pay their respects to Senator Harding. The conference of the Methodists at Dayton and the convention of the Baptists at Columbus gave the opportunity for the pilgrimage to Marion. It was a dignified procession, marked by decorum, which moved through the streets of Marion to the home of Senator Harding, whom it is confidently believed will be the next president. Senator and Mrs. Harding, with General Pershing, who remained over with the Hardings until that afternoon, welcomed the delegations at the front porch. There were the customary handshaking and picture taking, and then the prayer to which reference has been made—a powerful prayer, as the saying is. The salutation was made by William H. Lewis, who used to be an Assistant Attorney General at Boston and who was a noted football player at Harvard. From Marion to White House. Mr. Lewis can make a good speech and demonstrated it. He told the Senator that the colored people quite understand that the road to the White House this year leads through Ohio, but through Marion, not Dayton. He said the inspiration for the visit was the desire on the part of the Negro race in America to renew its pledges of fidelity and devotion to the political party of its fathers. He said the Negroes of America are just as confident of being as well received by President Harding as they were being handsomely welcomed by Candidate Harding. And he added, with a touch of religious ardor: "Of all the pilgrims who shall come to your front door none will come with more anxious hearts and more fervent prayers than the group representing twelve millions of your colored fellow citizens. Other groups may have been affected by the lack of capacity, the inefficiency and the extravagance of the present Administration, but we have suffered from its indifferences, its malovence and its persecution. We have been the victims of the present Administration far more than any other class of citizens, eliminated from participation in government, segregation in the civil service and denied the equal protection of the law." Lewis gave the positive assurance that the Negroes of the United States have no use for the League of Nations, "for," said Lewis, "you cannot amend the Constitution by treaty or change the form of government by automatic methods or administration. We were thrilled by your pronouncement that you would never empower an Assistant Secretary of the Navy to write a constitution for a sister republic. What kind of a League of Nations would you have with the smaller republics held as vassal states? What we need is a league of humanity founded upon the Golden Rule." The Negro leaders appealed to Senator Harding to make democracy safe for them and their children, to end mob rule. They knew of no other way to get protection than through the republican party. They told the nontl. (Continued on Page Two.) The Faker and the Flood By FREDERICK HART (© 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Lou Alberts had the oulja craze. Bill Blacklock was a nonbeliever. As her "psychic investigations," as she called them, became more intense and earnest, his good-natured scouting developed into ardent contempt and finally reached the stage of intolerance. "Leave that board alone or it will drive you insane," he admonished. "Well, let me tell you, Bill Blacklock," she said, "the stand you are taking simply shows you up as a narrow minded materialist. You're denouncing something you haven't even tried. I dare you to put oulja to a test." She brought the board from its place in the corner and brandished it before him challengingly. Bill and Lou were to be married within six weeks, but he was unable to discuss the coming event with her owing to the "psychic investigations." It had come to the point where Lou had to give up either outla or Bill. "I'll tell you what," he said. "We'll test outla, and if he fails you must drop him and forever keep silence about him. If he meets the test I'll accept him and there'll be no more disagreements." This seemed fair enough, and Lou agreed. They drew up chairs and placed the board on their laps and their hands on the indicator. Bill asked his age and the board answered twenty-seven, which was correct. He questioned it regarding his vocation and outla truthfully answered "Mining engineer." He put other questions and the replies were accurate. "Now are you convinced?" Lou asked triumphantly, as they paused. "No." he said. "The answers to all questions were known by one of us. Our subconscious personalities have been moving the indicator, that's all. The whole thing's a farce. You must abandon this crazy hobby." Bill took the board and with a penilc wrote in big letters across the face of it, "Ouija is a faker." The termination of the heated argument that ensued caused a definite break in relations, and Bill flounced M. STICKS Soon the Motorboat Was Plowing Upstream. from the house with a diamond ring clutched in his fist and a grim, determined, desperate look on his countenance. Bill was stubborn, but no more so than Lou. He remained away, and she let him. "I can't live in the same town with her," Bill finally decided, and forthwith with a letter of acceptance in regard to some work in the southwest. About the same time Lou's father was ordered by his doctor to a different climate, and Mr. Alberts, his wife and two daughters shortly after started on a trip across the continent. Bill did not know that Lou had left the city, and Lou was unaware of his departure. They loved each other, their souls cried out for each other, but both were too stubborn to surrender. If ouija is a spirit of good he must have felt bad about the separation he had brought about. If he is evil he grinned with benevolent satisfaction. Broad river was justifying its name. Spring torrents had swollen the stream to twice its width, and the work of expansion, accompanied by a work of devastation, went on. It wrenched houses, from their foundations, it obliterated abandoned mines and some that had not been abandoned. It ate its way into mountains and tore huge chunks from their sides. A shack standing against a mountain wall withstood all the greedy assaults of the torrent. The shack was marooned, with the mountain wall at its back and water on the other sides, but there was a plentiful supply of provisions and the three men who had their temporary abode there felt little uneasiness over their welfare. They knew they could leave should the occasion arise, for close by the cabin was a large and powerful motor-boat which they could launch and make their way in the swollen river in spite of all the currents that might assail the craft. However, the men were there for a purpose and had no intention of leaving until their object was accomplished. One day Bill was interrupted in a game of solitaire by one of his companions who stood before him holding a familiar looking board. "Here's something queer," said the man. "I found this thing washed up by the river. It's a message for help, but it's a strange one." Bill seized the board with a feeling something akin to exasperation. He turned the board over and his eyes widened as he read a message that had been laboriously carved in the back with a knife. It read: "Help; out of provisions; water at cabin door; still rising; marooned on Pegg's Point." "There's the message for help," said the man who had brought the board, "but look at this." And he reversed the board, and with a finger pointed out another message which had once been written with a pencil, although the water had washed off all traces of lead and left only a scrawling depression in the wood. "Ouija is a faker," were the words that were only faintly visible. Bill hurled the playing cards to the floor and upset the table. "Launch the boat," he directed. He was leader of the party and the others obeyed without question. Soon the motorbott was plowing upstream. The current was strong, but the four-cylinder engine drove the craft along in spite of all resistance. Three miles they went, and a sheet fluttering from the roof of a cabin attracted the attention of the voyagers. They steered the boat toward this habitation, the lower part of which was immersed. The boat crept up beside the shack and Bill was the first to step from it into the cabin. In water up to his waist he waded through the three lower rooms and then mouthed a ladder to the upper floor. A man, a woman and two girls were huddled in a corner. "Thank God!" breathed the man fervently. "We're saved." "Bill!" cried one of the girls. In a corner of the living room of a modest, comfortable dwelling in an eastern city stands an outlja board. The board is never used, for Lou has recovered from her "braze." But sometimes her husband takes it in his hands and pats it affectionately and says softly: "Ouija, you're all right. I take it back; you're no faker after all." AND SO IT WAS ILLUSTRATED The Way of Modern Artist With a Story That Really Captivates His Fancy. "This is a peach of a story," thought Dasher Christy, the eminent illustrator. "I enjoyed every word of it. It's the kind of a story I like to illustrate. I gives me something to work on. This description of the heroine, for instance." And he read it again for the 10th time—Myrtle Steedfast had liquid brown eyes with prominent pupils, a dainty Irish nose to which a crescent shaped freckle on the very tip lent added piquancy, flery red hair with a glint of green where the sun caught it, a ravishing rosebud mouth and teeth like new ivory that has just been mined. "The hero, too—a masterpiece," mused the eminent illustrator. And he read over the hero's description once more—"Pete Jardiniere was above all, a manly man. He was 6 feet 7 inches tall, as blond as the moon and as fascinating as the devil. His eyes were black as ripe coal, his teeth white as unspoiled snow. He was the slenderest man Myrtle had ever seen with the exception of the living skeleton in the side show." Two months later the story appeared in McEvery's Magazine, illustrated by Dasher Christy. In the pictures, Myrtle had purple eyes, a perfect Roman nose without a freckle, black hair and no mouth, while Pete was a little fat man with pink eyes, gray hair and a red muschel—Detroit Free Press. Gladstone Liked to Sing. Sir Walter Parratt told at Oxford an interesting little story of Mr. Gladstone. He said he had been speaking to Mr. Gladstone of the great compasses quite unmusical people often possessed. "Yes, sir," replied Mr. Gladstone, "I used to like to hear my voice. It rang inside my head." Of course, Mr. Gladstone was very fond of singing, and as a young man sang negro melodies with great gusto. His eldest son composed many hymn tunes, and the present Viscock Gladstone sang in a choir for several years. —London Chronicle. Luring the Help. "When I tried to tell the hired man what to do," complained Josh. "he laughed at me." "Mebbe, son," replied Farmer Corntosel, "it's more hopeful than you think. If you can make him laugh often enough perhaps he'll take a fancy to us and consent not to quit." "Are you drinking on duty?" he demanded. "Yes, sir."

Julia Bottomly The Man From Huntington By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD (@, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate). For seven long months Carter Ragsdale had been living in New York. It had been a decided change from Huntington, Miss., with its 2,878 population, approximately all his personal friends or cordial acquaintances. One had to be mentally alert in the offices of Richards Bros. There were no free intervals there for regrets and repinings. Particularly if one had firmly determined to learn, in as short a time as possible, all the multitudinous details of a very big business, and some day to hold one of its proud positions. Evenings were different. Then Carter Ragsdale had thought that he would gladly exchange all the thrills of metropolitan existence to be back at home again. On the first Sunday in May, when spring was making Central park a place of enchantment, throwing a soft veil of green over the chill loveliness it wears in winter, Carter Ragsdale went for a stroll through its highways and byways. It was a beautiful morning. Things had been going well at the office. His chief, a man little given to praise, had spoken some words of warm commendation, the afternoon before. He had been given increased responsibility. There were hints of promotion, with a salary increase, before long. As he paced slowly that Sunday morning, Carter was thinking that things were indeed well with his world—if he might only sometimes see one from home. Then he remembered the Huntington paper, the four-page weekly which came to his boarding house each Saturday, every line of which he read on Sunday. He sat down on a convenient bench, and drew the thin sheet from his pocket. No records of world happenings in the great New York papers were as interesting as the "Live Little Locals" WALTERS "Why, Mr. Vernon." on the last page of the Huntington Mercury. One by one, he conned them. "Mr. Roger Vernon has a new automobile." From some sudden impulse Carter Ragsdale raised his eyes. Directly opposite, across the path, sat a strangely familiar figure. An old gentleman, lean of frame, aquiline of feature, keen of eye, was watching him. Instantly upon his feet, Carter Ragsdale whipped off his hat, and bounded the dozen intervening feet, his face exultant. "Why, Mr. Vernon," he called, "who would ever have expected—" By this time he had reached the bench where his park neighbor sat. His face fell. "I beg your pardon, sir," he stammered. "I thought—an old friend from home—from Mississippi—I had just been reading about him in my home paper. If I'd only stopped to think—but the resemblance really is striking!" Embarrassed. Carter started away, calling in valedictory, "I trust I have not annoyed you, sir." The stranger summoned the young man to a seat beside him. "I did not catch the name of my double," he said courteously. Then Carter made explanations. "Mr. Roger Vernon, sir. He is president of the bank at home, and a very fine gentleman. No one could object to having such a double." Carter found himself talking quite at ease with his new acquaintance. The old gentleman boomed a laugh of hearty appreciation. "Your double has just bought a new machine"—Carter indicated the newspaper item. The headline of the "Mercury" caught the old gentleman's eye. "Jumping Jehosophat!" he exclaimed. "This is strange!" From an inner pocket he produced his card. Carter read: "James Roger Vernon." "Young man, your Vernon's my second cousin. I never was in Huntington in my life, and I never saw him. But I've heard my father tell of visiting in Mississippi when he was a boy. I've always intended to get in touch with my southern relatives some day." Just as they were launched on this topic, there came an interruption. A slim, graceful girl, with dark eyes and coppery hair, stood before them. "I'm just getting introduced for the first time to my relatives in Mississippi," explained the father. Allicia held out a pretty hand. "Oh," she said, "is this a new cousin—from Mississippi?" Carter shook his head dolorously. "I'd certainly claim the relationship if I didn't know I'd be shown up an impostor later! But the families are great friends. I sent my first valentine to your fourth cousin." Allicia laughed. To Carter it was the most charming he had ever heard. "How nice to have met you!" she said. When they took their departure Carter walked beside them. Not far from the park a luxurious limousine waited. "Don't forget our address, young man," said Mr. Vernon. "Come to see us. Come to breakfast next Sunday—nine sharp. We've got a southern cook." The recipient of this invitation stood as rapt as one upon whom manna from heaven was descending. He could scarcely murmur his grateful acceptance. As Mr. Vernon turned to give directions to the chauffeur, Alicia added: "I want to hear all about this fourth cousin I've never seen. I scent romance." As Alicia's father bundled her into the car Carter protested, "Oh, no, she's married now. It was just puppy love—a sort of trial heat." A lovely face smiled, "Never mind. You can find a romance here. New Yorkers always say one can find anything one wants." Mr. Vernon leaned out to call, "Nine o'clock sharp!" Then a certain young southerner, from whom a burden of loneliness had been magically lifted, went blissfully upon his way. Next Sunday was only seven days off. New York was giving him business opportunity. Now the wonderful city held out another uure. "Find romance here?" he quoted under his breath. "Why, it's already found." WHERE TWO EXTREMES MEET Civilization and the Wild Places of Earth Come Together at Falls of the Zumbesi. Once upon a time it was in western America that one happened on the meeting place of the wilds and civilization. Now it is Africa, Africa of the elephants and the Uganda railway. Perhaps the best-known meeting place of the two extremes on the dark continent is the hotel at the Victoria Falls of the Zumbesi, where the tourists scamper about the desolate stretch of bush-veld. Twenty minutes takes you from the hotel to the savagery of the falls, and on your way you may surprise a troop of baboons, grubbing about in the rocks, who will dash off at a clumsy gallop and show their teeth as you pass. The guinea fowls cackle, the hornbills fly over, and the kaffirs are stalking outside the modern luxurious hotel. Inside, the tourists trying to maintain western dignity at a dance, while the great jungle baboons slink up to the hotel's orchard to steal the ripe oranges. Inevitably it reminds you of Mowgli's cry, "Let in the jungle, Hathi!" Truly contrast, and if contrast spells romance, nero, by the great Zambesi, may you find it. Fine Art of Reading An English writer holds "browsing" to be more of an art and thinks that the perfect "browser" should stand up or assume some other position of easy negligence, because for him to settle down in a chair is to "degenerate almost inevitably into a mere reader." He then goes on to point out that one does not "browse" on Meredith or Browning, a statement to which might be added that one does mighty little "browsing" on Henry James. "Browsing" is not quite the same thing as skipping, although you do skip; nor yet as skimming, although you do skim; it is, in other words, just browsing, and this may be considered as satisfactory as a great many definitions.—Christian Science Monitor.

In the pivotal states the election of a republican president and congress, and we must elect both, depends upon the votes of the colored American. To be able to vote those who have not registered or have moved since last registration must register. The important work now in Nebraska and elsewhere is to see to it that our people register. To overlook this fact or to neglect this important duty will prove a serious blunder. Party leaders must see to it that ample provision is made for the registration of voters. Paid workers must be put into the field to see to it that accurate and complete registration of all qualified voters, male and female, is made. GIVE THEM WELCOME THOUSANDS of our race have moved north within the last three years. Thousands are coming weekly. They are fleeing from conditions that are intolerable and seeking better industrial opportunities for themselves and better educational advantages for their children. We of their brethren who have been only a little longer than they in this section and have enjoyed privileges which they have been denied should give them cordial welcome and help them in every way we can to become assimilated to the newer conditions which surround them. There must be no sectionalism among our race. Our cause is one throughout the nation. While one of the humblest of our group suffers injustice in Georgia or Mississippi, we are not safe in Nebraska or Maine. Give the migrants from southern injustice, peonage and oppression cordial and sympathetic welcome. RIGHTEOUS LIVING NO TRUTH of Holy Writ calls for more emphasis today than that so tersely put in the striking words, "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach unto any people." The nation, race or individual who lightly regards or ignores this truth is doomed. This is the lesson of history. Righteous living upon the part of the individuals who compose a nation is the only guarantee of the perpetuity of any nation, however great and prosperous a nation may think itself to be. Would we have our nation hold an exalted place then each one of us must realize his responsibility of manifesting in his own life and conduct that zeal for righteousness which alone can keep the nation true to the highest ideals. National righteousness depends upon individual righteousness. Righteousness means living right, doing one's duty towards God and towards our neighbor. This is the issue that cannot be dodged. It would be well, therefore, for each one of us to examine himself, fearlessly and honestly, upon the question of right living, or righteous living, it matters not how we phrase it. How do you measure up to the standard set for us? That standard has been set for all men and voiced by a Hebrew pronhet in the words, "He (God) hath showed thee, O man, what is good. And what doth the Lord thy God require of the tree but to love mercy, to do justly and to walk humbly with thy God?" To do this is to live rightely. --- SOLID SOUTHISM JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, U. S. senator from Mississippi, gives us nothing new from a standpoint of information when he tells us that the South is solidly democratic whoever the head of the ticket may be because "it is a necessity for the security of the white man's civilization and social life and the code of ethics on which they rest." Nor are we furnished with any surprise with the echo in the Southern Review (Asheville, N. C.), which in connecting the weakness and inefficiency of southern politics consequent upon this section acting as one party regardless of what persons are nominated at the democratic convention, says "Whether this practice is good or bad, whether the consequences are tolerable or deplorable, the South deems it a course vital to secure the white man's dominance in that section." We know something about this "white man's civilization" in the South. Being a native thereof, we are fully aware of this "code of ethics" of which this eminent gentleman from Mississippi boasts. His acts in congress have verified his assertions in this connection ere now. The white man's civilization, as practiced in the South, is not a thing which the barbarous Turk would need to emulate. The "code of ethics" upon which all this rests is the continuous lynching, including burning alive, of the colored race in that section and the commission of all manner of hideous crimes against our women. "Just label the candidates democratic," rejoins the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion, "and the South may be safely counted on to vote solidly for the ticket." Let a Vardaman, or a Blease, or even a Sharp Williams be nominated and the South will solidly support the ticket. It is needless to say that the South has no character of its own—no choice in politics except that one thing is sure, and that is that the Negro be kept down. All else may go. It is evident from this that the South is democratic, and solidly so not because of the government of the nation, but because "the code of ethics" on which the democratic party rests is the eternal suppression and oppression of the Negro race. In other words, the South would cut off its nose to spite its face provided the face was justice and fairness to the Negro. The fear on the part of the white South that the Negro if given a fair chance would soon become his superior in wealth, is not altogether without reason judging from recent history. In the South the Negro owns nearly one-eighth of the entire wealth, despite the great handicap of discrimination he has there in business. Here he has the handicap of 250 years of slavery and only 50 years of partial freedom, but is still willing to enter the race with his white brother and take his chance at winning. Is the white South, with all the advantage in the race, still so afraid of being beaten by the Negro that he must throw to the winds all that concerns the nation as a whole and "solidify" itself against the colored man? Professor Dabney of the University of Tennessee ventures to dispel this fear by pointing out that with the "establishment of the states rights, the possibility of Negro ascendency has passed." "This act," continues the eminent educator, "clears the way THE MONITOR for the solid South's independent political action by the men of that section." This means that even if the democrats lose the election in November, they have yet to fall back upon that far over-worked farce called "states rights," which means that the men of that section may act independently of the constitution of the United States as they have in connection with the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to that instrument. But the white man is not asleep to the newly awakened Negro. He reads that in the northern cities whither the Negro has migrated that from 20 to 50 per cent of the deals made by real estate exchanges within the last few years have been made to colored people. He knows the Negro's vision is expanding into big business. He has awakened to the realization that he constitutes a very important fabric of this nation's big business activities and he is rapidly filling his nitch. The Negro who used to be promised and confidently expected from the southern white man a "mule and 10 acres," and who patiently awaited this gift until he was planted in six feet of earth, is no more. Our people no longer seek alms but opportunity. We seek only the rights guaranteed to us under the constitution to life, liberty and a chance to prosper. But the champions of "democracy" are traversing the country today in an effort to convince the people that they are the proper ones to be entrusted with the reins of government, one-tenth of whose population are Negroes. The vast majority of the democratic party are southerners and in the event of that party's success at the polls the "solid south" would dictate its policy towards the colored race. We must admit that in the matter of speaking there is very little difference between a southern white democrat and a southern white republican when it comes to the Negro. "Lily white" republicanism is as abominable to us as "solid southism." But we stand a far greater chance of justice under a republican administration, which by virtue of its foundation principles and the greater sense of justice which actuates its existence, than we could hope for under southern bourbonism. Our duty as a race in the coming election is therefore plain. We should take no slim chances on electing a party because we think well of its candidates. We should spare no pains in removing the cause for our unbearable suffering in the last few years. Both of the republican candirates have expressed their determination, in the event of their election, to see to it that the Negro receives his rights as a citizen, and we have very little reason to doubt the sincerity of their statements judging from the character of both of the candidates. Therefore let us at least reduce the political force of the solid South's political halax by placing that party in power to which we can entrust our safety. (From thee Pittsburgh Courier.) When the campaign first opened, the people were inclined to compare Governor Cox and Senator Harding. The generous public admitted that Governor Cox was the logical man to oppose Senator Harding. They reasoned that the two men from the same state stood equally well in the estimation of the people generally. For a season, Governor Cox did run well. But he has fallen, and fallen flat. He has demonstrated his mental inadequacy to grasp the bigger subjects which demand discussion. He has evidently run out of material. He attacked the republicans on the ground that they were raising funds with which to operate the campaign. He thought it of more importance to talk of money than of the league of nations. In one sense, he was right. He evidently was more at home when talking on "soap box" subjects than when he is trying to delve into the intricacies of international relations. If he abandoned the larger subjects for smaller and more familiar ones in self defense, there is some sympathy due him. He ought to deal with familiar subjects. He is familiar with money, and it was perfectly natural for him to turn to that subject. But he failed miserably in his effort to attract public attention. The people know that the democrats have been trying to raise money for seven years. If they have failed to collect it, it is due to the niggardly disposition of those who have been given every opportunity to get rich out of the war. Where are the southern millionaires? What have they done with the millions that were diverted to southern pockets? Have they deserted them in the saddle at Washington? Or, is it another case of playing safe, knowing the democrats cannot win. Governor Cox fell in the estimation of the public when he deserted the admitted issues for money talk which interests no one. It requires money to operate a campaign, and the republicans are prepared to finance COX FALLS FLAT their campaign. This is the bone of contention in the estimation of Mr. Cox, who has evidently learned that the democrats have not pledged as liberally as they should. It is now the general consensus that Mr. Cox greatly embarrassed President Wilson by deserting the higher subjects for one too vulgar to reflect credit upon a presidential nominee. "Minds that go along with mine" are getting scarcer. Proverbs and Paragraphics Judge not that ye may not be judged. For with whatsoever judgment ye judge ye shall be judged: and with whatsoever measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.—St. Matthew 7:1-2. The fellow who isn't fired with enthusiasm is apt to be fired. If a top-notch effort yields you no happiness, something is wrong with either you or your efforts. Sit down and do some analyzing.

We need Thy Almighty Hand to shake a lot of people into their senses, and to guide the feet of others who are willing and anxious to do right. DON'TS We would like to know whether there is any "color-line" in Heaven. Some people would have us think so. But it is hard for our little minds, knowing of Thy great love, as we do, to picture a "jim-crow Heaven," such as we have, a "jim-crow" South. We do not want to go to hell when we die, for we have been in the South—and that's enough. It is hard for us to believe that when we reach the "Great White Throne," having come up through great trials and tribulations, forbearance and long suffering—lynching, the prostitution of our sisters and daughters and mothers—it is hard for us to feel that some "saint" from Mississippi or Texas with a face "as white as snow" will tell us with a snarl and a slur to "Get out of here and go on over into the 'nigger Heaven.' Father, that would break our heart, which is now nearly bursting with anxiety. Can it be true that you have cursed us with an everlasting curse and made color, not righteousness, the key to Heaven? Can it be true that Heaven is, the eternal abiding place for all the Grand Army of American Lynchers, they who disembowel expectant mothers; strike down the gray-haired patriarchs who seek to protect the honor of young girls; they who are always speaking of the "sanctity of white women" but who have absolutely no respect for those whose honor we cherish with impulses equally sacred? Righteous Father, we believe that these people try to fasten a lot of lies on you. We believe that they continually try to use your Holy Name as a cloak to shield their own unspeakable hypocrisy. We think you are about tired of this trickery, and you are about to smite them with eternal Damnation. We believe that when your Great Son gave us the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule, he was talking to all the "children of men" everywhere, for all time. We are trying to help you show up this double-dealing, double-crossing, infernal set of notions about "color this" and "color that." It was born of the devil, and you threw him out of Heaven, and we hope you will hurry up and throw out of America these scoundrels and blood-lust fiends. Righeeous Father, they represent neither You nor America. Amen! We can save you from $50 to $100 on Phonographs.

REORGANIZATION PROMISED BY REPUBLICANS Colored Employees to Find Conditions Improved in Their Official Work, Provided the Pre-Election Promises of the Republicans Are Honestly Carried Out, Washington, Sept. 16.—One of the shortest planks in the republican plat- form is one of the most significant and refers to the reorganization of the federal departments and bureaus. Aside from the pledge being marked with the sound business sense that has characterized the republican idea of administration of public economies, it will reach one of the sources of racial humiliation that the present adminis- tration has visited upon its colored em- ployees, the evil of segregation, Reorganization with a view to con- solidation, the elimination of “dupliea- tion, delays and overlapping of work,” means that this humiliation will be forever dispelled. Of course, the dem- ocrats have absolutely no conception of economy. ‘Their party has never done anything in a constructive way. It is essentially a party of penury aid as such depends upon its brief author- ity to destroy what others have ac- cumulated. Segregation, the detest- ‘able practice born of prejudice, that makes a colored clerk or employee ‘isolated from others engaged in the same work; the provision of separate toilets and other quarters for a man or woman because he happens to be colored, is an extravagance in itself, ‘The democrats wasted the public money to live up to their tenets that ‘one governmental employee should not be treated with the same consid- eration as others of a different color. Segregation is not only a crime against economy, and the people of this country treated to a saturnalia of waste, are insisting that their money be no longer thrown away just for the simple purpose of satisfying the unwholesome race hatred of a crowd of southern officials who desire to im- press upon the country the manner- isms and methods of their section.

When the automobiles reached the edge of the town they were met by the mayor and a reception committee. The streets and downtown stores were decorated with bunting and the whole town was in gala attire in honor of the visitors. Cornerstone laying ceremonies were held at the site, one-half mile south of Boley. Musie by a choral club of forty voices was one of the features of the program.

The committee for the recon- ciliation of the races is not in favor of the isolation of any race. It has gone on record as being opposed to the reso- lution passed by the convention held recently in Madison Square Garden, calling upon all Negroes to emigrate to Africa. Fenton C. Johnson, the Negro poet, speaking for the commit- tee, explained that such a movement would only result in a loss for both races. “The Negro is an essential economic unit in the welfare of America,” he said. “The only solution of the pres- ent problem is for the blacks and whites to know each other better. That is the purpose of this committee.” 5 The Idler the Busier. Curiosity, which 1s called idle, Is at rays on the Job.—Albany Journal.

Seay, ou CITY, Okla, Sept. 16 —Spurred to aetion by the crim inal negligence of the sheriff of Okla homa County, a delegation of Negroe: called on Governor Robertson and de manded that he oust Sheriff Johnsor from office. The spokesmen for thé committee were: Nr. A. Baxtel Whitby and Editor Roscoe Dunjee Damaging evidence submitted to the governor alleging to show connivancé of the officers in the crime. The gov- ernor was visibly impressed and stat- ed that he was willing to break the state treasury in an attempt to bring the criminals to justice. Those in the delegation, together with the speakers, were: W. T. Tucker, Dr. W. E. Fos- ter, Rev. E. W. Berry, Attorney Henry Hawkins, W. A. Hill, J. M. Anderson, Dr. S.C. Snelson, Prof. S. R. Young- blood, Governor Robertson and Adjutant General Barrett held a private confer- ence with Editor Dunjee in the office of the Black Dispatch The governor expressed himself as willing to go to the bottom of the affair. Adjutant General Barrett stated that he held a machine gun company in readiness to act for the state in the event of any further disorders. In his letter to the attorney general asking that he immediately investi- gate the reprehensible conduct of the sheriff, Governor Robertson said in part: “You cannot move too quickly; all persons engaged in the two lynch- ings are guilty of murder. It is an easy matter to ascertain who the guilty parties are.” The governor to the delegation of colored men and te the attorney general stated that he be- lieved that the sheriff and the jailo: were in collusion with the mob. He further stated that if he had the pow- er, he felt warranted in removing them without the investigation of the attorney general. MUSIC AND MUSICIANS By Clarence Desdunes TECHNIC Some Hints to the Student At the bottom of all technic lies the seale, and scale practice is the ladder by means of which all must climb to higher proficiency. Scales in single tones and inter- vals, thirds, sixths, octaves, tenths f | Sos i ee , nr] Clarence Desdunes with the incidental changes of posi- tion, are the foundation of technic. They should be practiced slowly, al- ways with the development of tone in mind and not too long a time at any one session. Better a good tone, even though a hundred mistakes be made in producing it, than a tone that is poor, thin and without quality I find the F. Davied Book Second excellent for muscular development in seale work for imparting the great strength which is necessary for the fingers to have. To secure an absolute legato tone, a true singing tone on the violin, one should play scales with a perfectly well sustained and steady bow in whole notes, slowly and mezzo forte, taking care that each note is clear and pure and that its volume does not vary during the stroke. The quality of tone must be equalized and euch whole note should be “sung” with a single bowing. The change from up- bow to down-bow should be made without a break, exclusively through skillful manipulation of the wrist. To accomplish this unbroken change of bow, one should cultivate a loose wrist and do special work at the ex- treme ends of the bow. The Vibrato is a great tone beauti- fier. Too rapid or too slow a vibrato defeats the effect desired, there is a happy medium of tempo, rather faster than slower, which gives the best results. A slow and moderately vapid vibrato from the wrist is the best, practice and the underlying idea while working must be tone and not finger work. Carl Flesch has some evens theories about vibratior are worth investigation, Staceoto is one of the less impor- tant branches of book technic, There is a knack in doing it and it is purels pyrotechnieal, Staccoto passages in quantity are only to be found in solo: of the virtuoso type. One never meets with extended staccoto pass- ages in dance music. Spiccato is a very different matter from staccoto; use the upper third of the bow, and thus get most satisfactory results, in no matter what tempo. This ques- tion as to what portion of the bow to use for spiceato each violinist must decide for himself; however, through experiment, I have tried both ways and find that by using the upper third of the bow I secure better and quicker results. Students while prac- fticing this bowing should take care that the wrist and not the arm is used. Hubay has written some excellent studies for this form of “springing bow.” “The trill” when it rolls quickly and evenly is a trill indeed. It should be practiced very slowly at first, later with increasing rapidity and al- ways with a firm pressure of the fingers. It is a very beautiful em- bellishment and one much used. Dow- ble notes never seemed hard to me, but harmonics are not as easily ac- quired as some of the other violin ef- fects. I advise pressing down the first! finger! on! the strings inordi- nately, especially in the higher posi- tions, when playing! artificial) har monies. The higher the fingers as- cend on the strings the more firmly they should be pressed. The majority of students have trouble with their harmonics because they do not prac- tice them jn this way. Of course the quality of harmonics produced, varies with the quality of the strings that produce them. First-class strings are an absolute necessity for the produc- tion of pure harmonies, yet in the case of the player, he himself is held re- sponsible and not his strings. Next week. The Fundamentals for Good Teaching. TUSK EEGEAN’S VOICE MAY STILL BE HEARD (By Asociated Negro Press.) Chicago, Sept. 16—The voice of Booker T. Washington is to be heard again through the courtesy of his younger son, E. David Washington, About eight years ago, Dr. Wash- ington, at the request of an official of the Columbia Graphaphone Com- pany, had a record made of his famous Atlanta speech, the speech which brought him into world-wide fame. Only one record was made for Dr. Washington, and since his death it has been in possession of his younger son, David. Young Washington treas- ured it more than any other posses- sion, because it was his father’s voice. After repeated persuasion, he has con- sented to have additional records of the speech made and distribute them among the friends of his father. SEVEN YEARS AGO (An Old Saw Reset) Phil H.

DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER © BY AUTHOR CAPE BUFFALOES. "It is true," said Mr. Cape Buffalo, "that here in the zoo we won't do anything. But still it is glorious to think of the wild days, of the days that our friends and our families have had and still have." "Yes," said Master Cape Buffalo, "and it is joyous to hear again and again of how we were dreaded and feared in the free state—that is, when we were free and wild." "In Africa, from where the cape buffaloes come," said Mr. Cape Buffalo, "the natives dread us a great deal more than they dread lions. That is an honor, to be dreaded and feared more than the so-called king of the beasts." "That is a great, great honor," said Master Cape Buffalo. "Ah, yes, to be feared more than a lion is as great an honor as a creature can have." "And that is the honor that we all have," said Mr. Cape Buffalo. "We have two curled horns, and some say that in front where I have a funny-looking growth which I admire I resemble a stuffed bag. Mrs. Buffalo here, your mother, is a fine creature. Listen to her snarling now. She will never have more than one baby buffalo come to her at a time. She says she can't pay proper attention to more than one. "Sometimes our family is known as the Water Buffalo family. We travel in droves, or in great numbers. If we were birds we would say that we traveled in flocks, but as we aren't birds we can't say that. The zoo is Travel in Droves. interesting and the opinions of people are amusing. They think all creatures who don't look like they do with two silly legs and faces and arms and hats and coats and skirts or trousers are quite odd. "They come here and they stare at us. There is one creature here, though, who will never look at them and will never even pay any attention to the keeper. He is the crossest animal in the zoo, I believe. He is an angora goat, a brown angora goat, and his name is Tagenbing. He won't let anyone be friendly with him. The keeper once tried to be friendly with him and said, 'Tagenbing, may I pull your whiskers?' And Tagenbing started to go at the keeper with a bang and a biff, as though to say: "You come near me, or you talk to me in any friendly fashion, and I'll give it to you!" "Still, it is true he likes to have the keeper give him his food. ... "There is the jaguar, who tried to strangle his mate, and there is Mrs. Polar, who has scolded Mr. Polar so and snapped at him so many times that the other day he got angry and did his best to get even with her. "There is Mrs. Lioness, a wild creature. She sometimes gets so bad she could kill her own Lion cubs! She eats so much meat, that is the trouble. Creatures who live on vegetables wouldn't do such things, although that doesn't always follow! "Most of the goats around here are friendly; all of the plain goats and the zebus in the next few yards go into each other's yards and have a good time, and there is one angora goat who is friendly with all of them. "The zebus, sacred cattle of India, you know, get on pretty well here. The wolves only get on with each other, and the aoudads are all right together because Mrs. Aoudad lets Mr. Aoudad have his own way. And the foxes who like to travel in pairs (as the elephants do), get on with each other. "But, dear me, I wasn't meaning to give the history of the other animals in the zoo. For the thing that interests me most and should interest others more than anything else is the glorious fact that when we're wild and free we are feared more than the lion, the king of the beasts." "Ah, that is most glorious, most glorious," said Master Cape Buffalo. "It is something of which Cape Buffaloes will never fail to be proud." Here to Study Logging. For the purpose of studying the most modern methods of logging Mr. Charles Gilbert Rogers, director of forests in India for the British government, is in the United States with a corps of 17 engineers. These engineers are at present at work in logging camps in the Appalachian mountains, and will gradually work toward the Northwest, then down the Pacific coast, and will conclude their studies in the southern territory in February, 1921. THE MONITOR THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. MARY'S Salisbury Cathedral, From the Nearby Lake. PRIL 28, 1220, Richard Poore, bishop of Old Sarum, took off his shoes, and, attended by a earth on which they h too marshy to bear the connected with tower procession of church and state dignitaries, all barefooted, and followed by a crowd of humbler people, walked from his cathedral church of Old Sarum to a pleasant meadow by the riverside, a little more than a mile distant. There and then he founded the cathedral of New Sarum, which, in but a few years, was to spring from the greensward in the simple beauty associated with its newer name of Salisbury cathedral; to endure as the finest existing example of early English architecture, says the London Telegraph. After consecrating the site of the future cathedral, Bishop Poore laid the first foundation stone in the name of Pope Honorius; a second for Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, and a third for himself. William Longspee, first earl of Salisbury, whose altar tomb on the south side of the nave is a masterpiece of statuary art, laid the fourth stone; while the fifth was placed by his countess, Ela. Other stone laying followed, "amidst the acclamation," and old chronicler tells us, "of multitudes of the people, weeping for joy, and contributing thereto their alms with a ready mind, according to the ability which God had given them." So quickly did the work progress that three altars were consecrated in the new building within five years of the foundation ceremonies. Why the Site Was Changed. The founders of the new cathedral gave several reasons for abandoning the structure on the hill of Old Sarum. One reason mentioned in the bull obtained for the purpose from Pope Honorius, dated March 29, 1219, was that the hilly situation of Old Sarum placed the cathedral at the mercy of winds so stormy that not only was it often difficult to hear the words of the service, but the structure became in constant need of repair. Another trouble was the insufficiency of the water supply and a third was the most cogent of all, the military in the neighboring castle taking all possible pains to show that they, and not the ecclesiastics, were the lords of Old Sarum. "What has the House of the Lord to do with castles?" asked Peter of Blois in support of the proposal to remove the See from Old Sarum. "It is the Ark of the Covenant in a temple of Balaam. Let us, in the name of God, descend into the meads. There are rich meadows and fertile valleys abounding in the fruits of the earth, profusely watered by living streams. There is a seat for the virgin patroness of our church to which the whole world cannot produce a parallel." His conclusions as to the situation were in every sense correct, for among English cathedrals scarcely one—if any—can vie with the exquisite setting of Salisbury's aspiring loveliness of pinnacles and spire in the center of the greensward. Without its spire the cathedral at Salisbury would still have been a marvel of architecture: beauty; with its tower and spire it stands complete as the crowning triumph of English architecture throughout the ages. For over a century the building stood with a low, stunted central tower. Then, in 1330, came the daring conception of raising a tower and spire soaring to a height of more than 400 feet. The boldness of the iden, and the danger of it, inspired the builders with constant care. They knew that the riverside ury dral earth on which they had to build was too marshy to bear the solidity usually connected with tower structures, and they planned and worked with extreme caution. Giving to the tower walls the lightest possible construction, banding the parts ingeniously, and even leaving within the building the wooden framework to serve as an additional support, the builders worked daringly on; but when they approached the spire construction they had not the temerity to give it a thickness of more than two feet at the base, and of nine inches from a little above the base to the topmost pinnacle. Within and without they added flying buttresses. Even then the spire began to lapse from the perpendicular, and the worst was feared when a deviation of two feet occurred; but since the careful examination made by Sir Christopher Wren no further signs of insecurity have appeared. What Sallisbury Cathedral owes to the magic grace of its tower and spire it is easier to realize than to express. The whole building was transformed by the architectural daring which had enough poetic insight to picture what could be done by capping an already beautiful, but somewhat featureless structure, by an exquisitely proportioned tower, surmounted by a slender and soaring spire, the highest in England. Though constructed half a century later than the body of the cathedral, the tower and spire—so refined was the artistic perception of these early builders—were in harmony with the whole construction, in spite of their greater display of elaborate and decorative work. With marvelous grace this triumph of early English art blends nave, choir, and transepts, tower and spire, in an architectural unity that has no compeer within our isles. Here we have a church of one period and of one design, not, as in most cathedrals, an epitome in stone of English history from the Norman on through the early English and decorated perlods to the perpendicular. Some Human Records. Seen with effect from the height of Sallisbury tower is a pleasant pastoral country, watered by several streams, broken by some low stretches of downs and in places luxuriantly wooded; and here and there are places sacred in the story of our literature. Within the cathedral is a bust with tablet in memory of Richard Jefferies, born at Conte, in Wiltshire. Less than two miles from Salisbury is Bemerton, a village containing the flint built parsonage where George Herbert wrote some of the poems in "The Temple." Within the altar rails of the little church is a modest tablet, with the simple inscription, "G H, 1633," the only memorial in Wiltshire to "the sweetest singer that ever sang God's praise." Within the cathedral, on the north side of the altar, lies the body of the sister whom Sir Philip Sidney loved to visit at Wilton, the ancestral estate of the Pembroke family, not much more than a mile to the west of Bemerton. It was at Wilton that Sidney wrote parts of his "Arcadia" to please, as he put it, "his dear lady and sister, the countess of Pembroke." Interesting, too, are the cloisters, not only for the beauty of their window tracery, but for the memories they enshrine, for among those who lie at rest in this sanctuary inclosed by the cloisters are people whose names have a place of honor in the modern records of the Wiltshire minster.

Moss of Anacostia, D. C., dean of the colored lawyers practicing at the bar of the District of Columbia, and former justice of the peace, offers to the reading public some wholesome advice to the voters of the country. The day will surely come in the history of this country when the color of a voter's skin will cease to be an index to his politics, and when the mere nomination of a candidate on a false self-styled democratic ticket will no longer be equivalent to an election. I also say that when the political mouths of such men as Cole Blease of South Carolina, Vardaman of Mississippi and Frank Clark of Florida are closed, and the people of this country decide to Classified Advertising RATES—4 cents a word for single insertions; 2 cents a word for two or more insertions.

We only ask justice and the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. I insist that men, women and children who are lynched and murdered in cold blood without the slightest opportunity to say, "I am not guilty," must be stopped. These horrible offenses are encouraged or at least winked at by the foremost men of a certain section of the United States who claim that they represent the purest democracy on the western continent. We are all watchfully waiting and hoping to hear the death knell of such democracy resounded throughout America next November. Why should there be such a condition existing in this country as a solid South? What does it mean in good pure English? A different form of government to that of the North, East and West in the United States? I think I can see darkly, as through a glass, that when the people of the country realize the fallacy of a so-called solid democratic South, there will be a beneficial breaking up of the present political situation in that section of the most beautiful portion of our common country, and there establish that grand old Lincoln-Jefferson American democracy. Then and not until then can we boast of being the freest and most magnanimous people on the civilized earth. I am looking forward to see the day come when there will be no North, no South, no East and no West, when every American citizen can feel safe in the enjoyment of every right guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. Away with such a democracy as we have been living under and passively enduring for the past eight years. Let the women and men of the East, North, South and West vote early and late for Warren G. Harding for president next November. PEOPLE OF NORTH AFRICA Mrs. Mitchell Returns With Many Negatives of Native Scenes and People of Mystic Lands. (By the Fortune Syndicate.) New York, Sept. 16.-Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, musical director during the past ten years at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, at Institute, who went to northern Africa and southern Europe last June, for the purpose of securing negatives in travelogue form, returned to this country on the White Star liner Cedric, landing in Boston Tuesday of last week, where she was met by her husband, C. E. Mitchell, president of the Mutual Savings and Loan Company of Charleston and the financial agent of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. They came immediately to New York, remained two days, and went direct to Institute, where Mrs. Mitchell will rest and recuperate. During her sojourn in northern Africa and southern Europe, Mrs. Mitchell secured four thousand feet of films, which will be converted into "movie" purposes at once. When it is ready a presentation of the travelogue will be privately made in New York, at which newspaper and theatrical managers will be invited to view it. Headquarters of the Mitchell Travelogue Company have been established in New York, at 2293 Seventh Avenue, with T. Thomas Fortune as manager. T-uth About Haiti James Weldon Johnson, in the Nation and the Crisis, is telling the American people the truth about Haiti. He is not talking from hearsay, but from personal and scrutinizing observation. The power of truth is no less today than yesterday. The truth will make Haiti free. However, the truth about the manner in which the present democratic administration, under Woodrow Wilson, has debauched the rights, will, freedom and morality of that little nation forms a page in history as black as night. Mr. Johnson is not a vindictive writer. He does not say mean and terrible things simply for the purpose of making anger or stirring up strife. He has an established ability, nevertheless, of making facts plain, and showing them up in their true light. The manner in which he shows up conditions in Haiti, if there were no lynching and other evils in America going at the present time at the rate of almost two a day, would be enough to ring a stinging protest against those who have been responsible of raping this republic of its glorious rights. The present administration has most beautifully elucidated on the "rights of weaker peoples," but Haiti would make the savages blush for shame, and labels the propounders of so- THE MONITOR called justice as the rankest kind of hypocrites and tyrants. ANSWERS SUMMONS (The Associated Press) (By Associated Negro Press.) Asheville, N. C., Sept. 16.—Rev. Chas, B. Dusenbury, pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian church, principal of the Calvary school, and one of the most prominent Negro educators and leaders in the state, died here following a short illness. He had served the church and srhood for almost twenty-nine years, being the founder of both institutions, which have a great influence among Asheville's colored population. He was a graduate from both the college and seminary of Lincoln University, and came into the local field when no other prominent church or educational institution was here. 1406 North Ladies Wear No. 9 ul" No. 8 The Re ALFRE Diamond Theatre Friday, Sept. 17 WILLIAM DUNCAN —in— "The Silent Avenger" No. 9 HELEN GIBSON —in— "The Danger Signal" Rainbow Comedy —in— Saturday, Sept. 18 ART ACORD —in— "The Moon Riders" No. 8 TOM MOORE —in— "Thirty a Week" —in— Sunday, Sept. 19 HARRY CAREY —in— "Blue Streak McCoy" CHESTER OUTING —in— "Wanted-An Elevator" Good Comedy No. 3 Meddy mouth" No. 13 "" 222 of Elec- it rain off, we a first- 23 ODD ear" Meddy 19 Phone Doug For that All J.
