MANY LYNCHERS WERE PUNISHED Status of Riot Cases Up to Present Time. Six Convictions by Juries. Eelven Acquittals, Five Disagreements and Thirty-five Plead Guilty. IT WAS a year ago Tuesday that a mob burned the Court House, lynched Will Brown, a colored American, suspected of having assaulted a white girl; attempted to hang Mayor Smith and looted several stores. The mob started with a mere handful of boys and youths which could have been dispersed and should have been dispersed by the police early in the afternoon. But the police made no serious effort to do so. By night fall the crowd was augmented by older persons and continued swelling by spectators and sympathizers until it is estimated that it numbered 25,000. It is a safe statement that not more than 2,000 or 3,000 were active participants in the work of the mob. When it was ascertained that the mob had gotten beyond the control of the local authorities efforts were made to secure federal troops; but these did not arrive until an hour after the lynching. The city was placed under martial law. General Leonard Wood was speedily on the scene and took charge of the situation. None of the colored citizens, except the man who was lynched, suffered any violence, although threats were made against the colored population. The mob planned to invade the colored residence section, but one of its leaders advised against it, very wisely, stating that the Negroes were armed and ready to fight. The lynching was directly chargeable to inflammatory articles published under box-car headlines in two of the local dailies, The Bee and The Daily News, of alleged assaults and attempted assaults by colored men upon white women. It mattered not that most of these stories bore the armmarks of the same authorship or that the alleged assailants were not found. Every day or two a staring box-car headed first page story of an attack by a Negro would appear. The community was surprised when after the lynching County Attorney Shotwell published the fact that of seventeen men held to the district court for alleged assaults of women only FIVE were NEGROES and TWELVE were WHITE MEN. The point is this: the daily press made it appear that vicious Negroes were assaulting white women by wholesale; when as a matter of fact to every one Negro so accused there were two white men charged with the same heinous offense. But a sinister motive lay behind this magnifying of Negro crime. The newspaper story of the alleged assault for which Brown was lynched was substantially this: A young woman and her escort were going home about midnight, when a Negro held them up at the point of a gun, robbed her escort of $17.00 and the girl of a ring. With his gun trained upon her escort, the Negro dragged the girl fifty feet away and ravished her, in the meanwhile keeping her escort covered with his gun so that he could not escape, secure assistance or make any outcry. The next day Will Brown was arrested on suspicion of being the man who committed this crime. Saturday's Bee of September 27, sinisterly suggested that southern methods would stop attacks on women. Sunday September 28th, the mob carried out this suggestion. It may be of some significance to state that the girl's escort was a pool hall loafer and that for some unaccountable reason he was never brought before the grand jury. Arrests running up into hundreds Arrests running up into hundreds THE MONITOR be made. A grand jury was called John W. Towle was elected formtn. Inquisition began. The grand jury indicted 93 individuals, of which 53 indictments were returned. The result of the riot cases up to the present time is as follows: Of trials to juries, there were 22, resulting in 6 convictions, 11 acquittals and 5 disagreements or hung juries; of convictions by pleadings there were 35. These pleaded guilty to breaking and entering or to conspiracy to break and enter or of rioting. Twenty two were nolled; 32 were dismissed because proof as to identification did not justify going to trial. The six convictions by jury trials were Sam Novak who was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced to from one to five years in the penitentiary; Louis Weaver for burning the Court House sentenced from one to two years in the penitentiary; James Maschek. John Yoch and James Brasoc, three boys under 18, looting, sentenced to five months and a fine of $200. Another was Ralph Snyder. The disagreements were in the cases of George Davis, who was tried twice for assaulting and attempting to hang the mayor; Claude Nethaway, James Blankinship and Fred Risse, conspiracy to commit murder. Other charged were also against all of these men. The thirty-five who plead guilty to entering, breaking and like misdemeanors were given jail sentences and fined. Rioting under the Nebraska law is accounted only a misdemeanor punishable by fine and three months imprisonment. Eight cases still are pending the most important of which are those of Davis, Nick Frost, Netheway and Woodruff. When they will come to trial has not yet been determined. That a sincere effort was made upon the part of the authorities to vindicate Omaha's honor and punish those guilty of arson, rioting and murder is quite evident. County Attorney Shotwell and his office did their full duty. They were handicapped however by persons who were unwilling to testify and by the sentiment openly expressed by many that they were in sympathy with the mobs. That a large number was punished even by short terms of imprisonment proves that the community still believes in the orderly process of law which is the only safe guard of civilization. CHINESE USE POISON AS RELIEF Families Being Killed to Prevent Starvation HONOLULU, T. H., Sept. 30.—Chinese in the famine ridden province of Shantung are poisoning entire families to avoid slow death by starvation, according to Tokio cable advices to the Nippon Jiji, Japanese language newspaper here. A hundred million dollar fund is needed to save the people in the starvation districts, the advices added. WOMAN, 113, REGISTERS; HAS LIVED IN ST. LOUIS 57 YEARS ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 30.—Ebee Tolbort, 315 Gratiot streets, who is 113 years old, registered last Tuesday afternoon at the Second Precinct of the Seventh ward. Aunt Ebee, as she is called, was born in North Carolina, and when the Civil War began her master took her to Commerce, Miss., where she ran away from him and came to St. Louis the week before the Yankees took Vicksburg, July 4, 1863, making her residence here fifty-seven years. BAN KROBBED OF $30,000 Four Bandits in Detroit Use Guns and Escape in Motor. DETROIT, Sept. 30.—Four armed bandits held up a branch of the First State Bank here today and escaped with an amount estimated by bank officials at $30,000. The bandits held bank employees at bay with pistols, seized the cash and escaped in an automobile. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 30, 1920 PRESIDENT WILSON EXPRESSES SYMPATHY FOR PERSE-CUTED JEWS OF POLAND Lieutenant Bettis, Editor of The Wichita Protest, Justly Commends Woodrow Wilson for His Righteous Stand for the Jews and Courteously Suggests That He Speak Out in Similar Language Concerning Atrocities Committed Against Black Americans in the Southland. WICHITA, Kas., Sept. 30.—Favorable comment is heard here on all sides concerning Conolel Bettis' "Open Letter to Woodrow Wilson" with reference to the President's recent sympathetic letter to Rabbi Stephen Wise touching the persecution of the Jews by Poland. The editor of the Protest quite justly commends Mr. Wilson for the sentiments expressed concerning the sufferings of the Jews at the hand of Poland, which, indeed, makes a black record. Lieutenant Bettis hopes that Mr. Wilson while justly condemning Polish atrocities will not overlook American atrocities. President Wilson's letter and that of the editor of the Protest here follow: Writes Letter of Sympathy to Rabbi Wise. (From N. Y. Sun and Herald.) President Wilson, in a letter to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, received yesterday, expressed sympathy with the sufferings of the Jews in Poland, who he said, were receiving "unenlightened and unjust treatment" at the hands of governments in eastern Europe, and added: "I am of the hope that those nations with which our own land holds political commerce may do everything in their power to end not only the legal disabilities of their Jewish populations, as provided for by the minority people's clauses of the peace treaty, but all the injustices and wrongs which are laid upon them. "We know in this country, wherein Jews of right enjoy entire equality, how loyally they serve and how faithfully they support the purposes and ideals of our own nation. "I should greatly rejoice to learn that through you (referring to the Provisional Organization for the Formation of the American Jewish Congress) there has come about an amelioration of the status of the Jews in eastern European lands. This government most earnestly desires that Jewish persecution be ended in all lands and for all time." The letter was in response to a message from the provisional organization describing programs in Poland. AN OPEN LETTER TO WOODROW WILSON Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States. Washington, D. C., Dear Sir: I have read in a New York paper, excerpts from your splendid letter to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, expressing your deepest sympathy and kindest words of hope for the Jews of Poland. The lofty sentiment expressed therein is indeed admirable and coming as it does from the Chief Executive of this great republic, will no doubt be of great help in further ameliorating the status of the Jews in Eastern Europe. Now Mr. President, may I not ask for a similar expression from you, relative to the "unenlightened and unjust treatment" of Colored Americans, not far far across the sea but here at home in this land of the free and the home of the brave, where loyal American citizens are robbed, burned at the stake, disfranchised, jim crowed, their women debauched, and all of this without legal redress? A few forceful words from you Mr. President, backed up with a disposition to give every citizen a fair chance and his rights under the constitution would mean a new day for us. In your letter to Rabbi Wise you say; and no one can gainsay it, "We know in this country, wherein Jews of right enjoy entire equality, how loyally they serve and how faithfully they support the purposes and ideas of our own nation." With the exception of the equality accorded, can not the same be said of Colored Americans? In concluding your letter you say that the government most earnestly desires that Jewish persecutions be ended in all lands and for all time. Should not this same government earnestly desire that Negro persecutions and injustices in our own beloved country be also for all time? And has there not been in very recent years, sufficient cause to warrant your speaking out in no uncertain terms for justice to all citizens alike? For nearly eight years we have hoped and prayed to have an expression from you condemning the many injustices heaped upon our group in many parts of this country, but chiefly in the southland, the Gibraltar of your political party; alas however our hopes have been in vain and to our prayers has come no semblance of response. Along that line you have been silent as the Sphnix. With profund admiration for the deep solicitude you have evinced for oppressed humanity in Eastern Europe, it is my sincere hope that you will turn your face toward the southland the bulwark of the democratic party and address that section in behalf of Colored Americans as you have expressed yourself in behalf of the Jews to the countries of Eastern Europe and although your action in so doing would be tardy indeed, I would be constrained to remark, better late than never. With best wishes for brighter days for oppressed humanity, at home as well as abroad, I am, Very respectfully, W. A. BETTIS, Editor Wichita Protest. JAPANESE WILL PUSH "RACIAL EQUALITY" The Rising Sun Empire Seriously Concerned About America's Attitude Toward Sons of Nippon. Deny Racial Inferiority. STRONGLY OPPOSES "WHITE OPPRESSION" Premier Makes Notable Speech Stres-ond place, will push firmly the questional Responsibilities Have Largely Expanded. TOKIO, September 30,—The Japanese government as a result of meeting of the cabinet, will, in the first place, vigorously pursue the negotiations concerning American anti-Japanese legislation, and, in the second place, will push firmly the question of racial equality in the League of Nations conference, according to Hochi Shimbun. These decisions will be considered further at a meeting of RSARY Guilty --- the Diplomatic Advisory Council, the newspaper says. The labor unions in conference here adopted resolutions pledging "harmonious co-operation with the Japanese laborers of California in their insistence upon their lawful rights." The resolutions were cabled to the California labor associations. Speaks of U. S.-Jap War At a public meeting in the Y. M. C. A. hall here today, Representative Kodama spoke on the subject, "An American-Japanese War." He denounced American militarism, saying that as long as a threatening nation existed beyond the Pacific, Japanese naval expansion cannot be dispensed with. Police interfered and silenced the speaker. A graduate of Columbia university, New York, M. Osako, who followed Representative Kodama, attributed the anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States to racial differences. He declared that the whites were oppressing the colored races backed by the power and influence of civilization. Japan was the only country strongly opposing white oppression, M. Osako asserted, and, therefore, had incurred the hatred of the Americans. The Japanese, he added, must strongly be determined to meet any serious anti-Japanese movement prevailing in America. A large crowd acclaimed the speaker. "Gentlemen's Agreement" Gentlemen's Agreement The Hochi Shimbun says it thinks the negotiations with the United States hinge on whether the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" should be revised and a formal treaty drawn up. The political situation might be overturned by the succeeding administration, the newspaper declared. The newspaper says America seems to object to giving the Japanese equal treatment with other aliens. It declares some Japanese officials are convinced the anti-Japanese sentiment is spreading gradually throughout the United States, and therefore the Japanese must seek a fundamental solution. The Hochi Shimbun understands also, that Japan will insist upon maintenance of her rights in the South Sea Islands, for which she received the mandate at the Peace Conference. Although Great Britain and the United States may oppose racial equality, according to the newspapers, Japan will insist by all possible means upon its acceptance by the League of Nations. Premier's Speech In his address to the provincial Governors yesterday, Premier Hara said the situation of the world never was more strained than at present. Hitherto, he declared, Japan's problems had been confined to the Orient, but international competition had arisen, resulting in a marked increase in Japan's responsibilities to the world and the expansion of her national expenditures. Japan had decided to withdraw her troops from Siberia, except from those places where consideration of t he empire's defense rendered the stationing of troops imperative, Premier Hara said. Concerning Shantung, the Premier asserted Japan still was ready to negotiate with China, who refused to consider Japan's proposals. Premier Hara said he was optimistic concerning the financial position of Japan. Pointedly alluding to the increase of Socialism, he declared indiscreet radicalism was inimical to the welfare of the state and that the authorities must vigorously oppose it. Representative Japanese express the opinion that there is no hope of a permanent solution of the California problem until after the presidential election in the United States. Through the medium of the press, however, they continue to put forward strong opposition to the proposed referendum in California, designed to extend the present law excluding Japanese from land ownership in California so as to forbid Japanese from holding lands by lease, and also to prevent Japanese from holding land through ownership of alleged "dummy" corporations. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! COX IN CONGRESS VOTES WITH ANTI- LABOR MEMBERS Democratic Nominee Speaks in Support of Non-Union Measures in House. Classed with Those "Indifferent" CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—The labored and strained eulogy of candidate Cox by Samuel Gompers as Chairman of the American Federation campaign, in which the veteran political executive of the big labor organization gives the democratic presidential nominee a clear bill of health as the friend of organized labor conceals, by omission, some vital things in the record of Governor Cox when he was a member of Congress in which he failed to support legislation favored by labor and voted for legislation that was opposed by labor. With the complete records of Congress in possession and forming part of the archives of the American Federation of Labor the failure of Mr. Gompers to take into account these high lights in Cox's congressional record showing that he (Cox) is unfriendly, if not the enemy of labor, can be attributed to no other purpose, to say the least, than to conceal the truth. Cox Does Not Support Labor Aside from Cox's congressional record, Mr. Gompers is advised of the outstanding fact that Cox has been branded by the building trades of Ohio as an enemy of labor in that he built his Dayton, O., newspaper plant building with non-union labor. That is not a partisan statement. It is a court record. Mr. Gompers knows the facts in that case yet he indorses Cox as a friend of labor. Now let's look at Cox's congressional record and Mr. Gompers' comment thereon in The Federationist. In 1910, every labor organization in the land, railroad brotherhoods and all, was knocking at the doors of the Federal congress demanding legislation against almost certain destruction at the hands of the courts under the Sherman law. In the language of Sam Gompers, Governor Cox, "manifesting an indifference to the perilous position of labor," "turned turtle" and failed to vote for the bill. (See Daily Congressional Record, June 23, 1910, p. 8853.) Gompers Says Cox Union's Friend Some Republican congressmen did the same thing. As for them Mr. Gompers and his democratic pals can find no language too bitter, no denunciation too caustic, no invective too scorching. Their arraignment of these Republican members is couched in terms of calumny, vituperation and reproach. (As proof your attention is directed to this official document.) But on the same question, on the same bill, on the same day, in defense of Congressman Cox, Mr. Gompers and his crowd of Democratic labor leaders now resort to suppression and concealment. Men and women: Take that fact home with you, think it over, think it out, on the 2nd day of November you vote. FOUNDER GIRLS HOME MAKES EXTENSI CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—Miss Jane Hunter, founder and head of the Phyllis Wheatley Association, home for self-supporting Colored girls in Cleveland, was here recently en route South on a tour of Southern Colored schools. The Phyllis Wheatley Home at Cleveland is one of the largest achievements ever made by a colored woman. Starting with nothing, Miss Hunter now has a home for colored girls valued at $85,000, modern in all appointments, and accommodating 100 young, self-supporting Colored girls, and with moral and religious environments. Miss Hunter's next visit will be to Tuskegee, and her last, en route back to Cleveland, will be Hampton Institute. 2 HOWARD UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL FOR 1920 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 29. The opening of Howard University this fall will mark a new epoch in the history of football at the big Negro Colleges of this country. Consistent with the new Howard, her new policies of extension and development, her far-sighted administrators, and the mighty influx of a larger and more cosmopolitan student body, the prestige of the University in football will be felt in the remotest sections of the country. Pressed on all sides by the zealous rivalry of crafty Lincoln, the grim determination of industrious Hampton, and other opponents that must be met on the gridiron, supported by the unbroken spirit of a loyal student body, Alumni and friends, more than ever Howard University is determined to produce this year the strongest and fastest team possible. Serious attention is directed to every detail in the theory and playing of the game with the view of devising an invincible coaching system and maintaining the records of former years. Howard Always a "Terror" Hitherto by prestige and merit, Howard has been the terror of all ranking collegiate football squads. Herself the gathering point of the largest university group of Negro students in the world,—men of all types and talents, athletes both by natural ability and practice, she has produced teams that played with the understanding that victory was their the opposing team from scoring. inherent right, and that the only object of the game was to prevent During these days of giant players and lightning plays, in spite of the unfailing toe of Collins of Lincoln, and the mighty blows of Bender of Hampton, Howard displayed a superiority that was based upon the discipline of an airtight coaching system and the spirited support of the student hosts. The 1920-21 season will open under a new coach, one who has played "big league" football, and is competent of training a "big league" team. Considerable thought and study have been given problems. Reports indicate that the program of training is to be more vigorous than ever. Even before registration is over, something new in football for Howard, practice will begin and already all old players and all prospects have been notified. Arrangements have been made to equip these men immediately and present them for practice without delay. Lincoln and Howard to Clash. Thanksgiving Day, at the American League park in Washington, Lincoln and Howard will clash. It is definitely known that with Lincoln this will be a supreme effort for victory. Under the training of Pollard, this team can boast of one of the most clever coaches of the country. This is the surest guaranty of a thrilling contest. In such contests as these, confidence plus the enthusiasm of those for whom the battle is fought will be almost a deciding factor. Both teams will be so well coached that the tricks and plays of the game will come automatically. The spirit of the greatest university will decide the day. Last year the National League park at Philadelphia was filled to its utmost capacity by representative Colored Citizens, graduates and adherents as well as students of the two far-famed educational institutions. Lincoln and Howard Universities. Enthusiasm is already at fever heat for the game this year between the same two institutions. The reservation of boxes and grand stand seats is already proceeding at a very lively rate. Reservations have been received from Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Norfolk, thereby assuring the advance sale of the full capacity of the American League park, Washington, D. C., which has been secured for the Thanksgiving game between the same school this year. It is the plan to reserve box seats at $2.00 each and grand stand seats at $1.50. The general admission to the pavillions will be $1.00. All reservations for tickets should be accompanied by Post Office money order, Secretary-Treasurer, Howard University. REGISTERING WOMEN VOTERS; LOCAL RESENTMENT SHOWN (By Associated Negro Press.) BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 30.—Plans are being made by leaders to register the women in large numbers. An appeal has been issued to colored women from the Rev. S. R Hughes, Advisory Association, to register early. The appeal shows the resentment here against the Republican organization, for after advising the women to register early and vote between 1 and 2 o'clock on election day for Senator Harding, the Republican candidate for president, and Governor Coolidge, for vice president, it significantly says: "Vote for Harding and Coolidge only." GIVING AWAY VAST WEALTH GIVING AWAY VAST WEALTH English Millionaire Socialist Practices What He Preaches. LIVES IN A MODEST HOME George L. Moore Determined That All His Wealth Should Be Spent "While He Was Still Above Ground"—With a Yearly Income Estimated at $5,000,000 He Has No Other Pleasure Outside Home, Garden and Library. In the life story of George L. Moore, of London whose gift of $750,000 for a recreation ground to be known as Victory park, in memory of the triumph of the allies, the latest of many generous gifts by him, is seen an example of an immensely wealthy idealist who has devoted nearly every cent of his millions to the welfare of his fellow men. For himself and his wife he retains of all his possessions just sufficient to provide a modest villa at Forest Hill, one of those suburbs dear to the heart of the bank clerk, the wholesale dry goods salesman, the middleman. His allowance for personal expenses—if we except his splendid library of 5,000 books—is little more than that of the average well-paid mechanic of today. In pursuance of his purpose he employs no servants, the work of the ten-room house being done by Mrs. Moore, who is in full sympathy with her husband. Speak of Mr. Moore to any of his business associates in any of the 250 corporations with which he is connected and they will tell you that he possesses the Midas touch. But, unlike the Phrygian king, he does not bathe in a stream of gold. Above all, Mr. Moore is happily free of the objectionable characteristics which distinguish the average self-made man, his training and tastes being those of the student and scholar. From Lawyer to Speculator. Born at Limavady, County Derry, Ireland, he was graduated B. A. at the Queens university, ranking first of his year in mathematics. Taking up the profession of law, he for 20 years practiced in Belfast, and it was there, as the legal representative of various corporations, that he entered upon speculations in oil. With the first fruits of his success he began to make liberal gifts to the town and county in which he was born. Then he shifted his headquarters to London, where he gradually developed into one of the largest oil operators in the world. With a yearly income estimated at $5,000,000, he has no pleasures outside of his home, his garden and his library. His favorite authors are Homer, Virgil and Voltaire. In his collection are to be found several rare first editions of printed works and scripts. "Books are my only extravagance," he said to an interviewer. "In all the years of a busy life I have never got over my love of Greek, Latin and French—the French of Voltaire. In summer I get up about three o'clock and from then until eight, when I go to the city. I am with my books. Hopes to Get Rid of It All. "When I began to get away from the routine of law practice and make real money I determined that all my wealth should be spent while I was still above ground. I have always believed that God sends us wealth in order that we may aid those who have not been so fortunate, or who are not blessed, or cursed, with the instinct of money-getting. I have a great deal more than I can ever use—more than anyone could ever need, and instead of hugging money to my heart and waiting until my death to give it away, I purpose to see men, women and children around me—above all, the children—sharing my fortune before I am called. I hope to have devoted every penny I possess to a good purpose. In pursuance of my plan, I employ no secretaries. All my correspondence, averaging 20 to 30 letters a day, is handled by myself and a stenographer. "Perhaps I hope to teach a lesson to others—the rich people, who spend their lives in pampered luxury and self-indulgence, and who are a curse to humanity. To their evil example we owe the growth of the bolshevist spirit among the workers, as distinguished from the true socialism of which I am a follower. To the idle rich we owe the gradual growth of the spirit and the system under which a bricklayer able to lay a thousand bricks a day lays only a hundred. I am anxious to see fair play for all, employer and employed, and hope to do all I can to assist my fellows." Pacific's Biggest Log. A piece from what loggers declare is the largest log ever cut in the Pacific Northwest has been on display in Portland, Ore. The log, which is 12 feet 6 inches in diameter at the butt, is 28 feet long and weighs 48 tons. It was cut near Montesano on Grays Harbor. The largest crosscut saw manufactured was too short to cut the monster stick of lumber. The log would furnish lumber for several houses. The Lack. "After all, the children are the cream of immunity." "They would be all the better for it if they were oftener whipped cream." THE MONITOR "can look forward to the day when the stigma on the name Delaware concerning the legal profession will be removed." But it is deceiving itself. The discriminating prejudice is as strong as ever in the bar of Delaware, largely Republican in its makeup. The question may be jugged with until after the election, and then the door will be found to be closed as tightly as ever to the Negro lawyer applicant. Discrimination against Negroes is a cardinal principle among "Republicans in Delaware. Young Negroes are not eligible to membership in the Harding First Voters' Club, or to any other white Republican organization.

Quoting the opinion of Attorney-General Reinhardt, that "suffrage would carry citizenship, and citizenship would carry the right to take bar examinations," the Advocate, a newspaper devoted to the interests of the Colored people of Delaware says: "Even in Mississippi, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana the colored man may practice law. It remained for Delaware to stipulate that the law is a gentleman's profession, and therefore one for which no Negro could qualify," to quote an eminent jerist."

Article LX The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Article X The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the state, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. The foregoing amendments are known as the original ten amendments and were proposed during the first session of the first congress, held in New York City, March 4, 1789. They were declared in force December 15, 1791.

Press Report of Audience with the National Equal Rights League read by Senator Harding and Approved As Corrected by Him. MARION, Ohio, Sept. 30.—The National Equal Rights League represented by the President, N. S. Taylor of Chicago, First Vice President Rev. N. A. M. Shaw of Boston, and National Executive Secretary William Monroe Trotter of Boston with Mr. Trotter as speaker, laid before Senator Harding the Grievance Report and Justice Demands of the National Colored Conference called by the League in Chicago last April, for federal action against lynching, against denial of the ballot for colored, and segregation in travel and the abolition of color segregation by the Federal Government in the executive departments. He asked Mr. Harding to recommend action on the first three by Congress and as President to accomplish the abolition of the federal segregation. Harding's Reply. Senator Harding promised a careful study of the Congressional Measures to the end of correction of the abuses. He declared emphatically against Federal Segregation and said "If the United States cannot prevent segregation in its own service we are not in any sense a Democracy." Delegation Pleased The League officers expressed satisfaction with the candidates acceptance speech statement and told Mr. Harding that the League officers would vigorously support him. THE TIDE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR NEGRO BUSINESS MEN "There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."—Shakespeare. The tide of opportunity is now at the flood for Negro business men and women. There never was a time in the history of our country when the demand for trained Negro business men and women was so great as it is today. The demand is far in excess of the supply. There are two methods of securing the training necessary to enable you to qualify for the positions "higher up"—they are experience and study. Thousands of Negroes have secured them through experience which means painful years of practice, hardships and disappointments. Today we have the opportunity of profiting by the experience of others, and starting where they leave off. The character and quantity of knowledge necessary to achieve or merit any success in the business world are contained in the commercial courses now being offered in the various commercial schools.—(Portsmouth, Va.) Article XVIII Article XIX Harding's Reply. Delegation Pleased AND WOMEN Wider Skirt Is Feature of Chicago Style Review. Coats to Be Short, Suits Have No Pockets or Cuffs and Muffs Are Barred. According to the association nearly everything in suits and coats and dresses will be brown or moose, neatly embroidered and beaded. Gold and silver thread embroideries especially will be shown. Beads will be used on everything except the most strictly tailored garments. As for the suits, the coats will be fairly short, and the skirts perfectly plain. The jackets will have big fur collars and fur about the bottom of beaver, seal, dark squirrel, or taupe nutria. Nothing will keep warm the hands of the fashionably gowned. There are no cuffs or pockets on the suit, and muffs are quite out. The bodices of these jackets will be quite close fitting, as milady has signified that she has had enough of loosely fitting things, but skirts will have a decided flare. Tassels will be found every place a tassel can be. Quantities of elaborate buttons of rich shades will be used. Silk bolivia, chiffon velvet, duvetyn, duvette. INTERNATIONAL Skirts shown in the recent style review of the Chicago Manufacturers' association are wider than have been worn for some time. They were not much shorter, however, twelve inches from the ground being declared to be the correct length. and duvet de laine are the materials from which the winter suits will be fashioned. Cloth coats will be forty-eight inches in length, embroidered in gold or silver thread, with huge capular collars of fur and with fur cuffs and pockets. But the fur coats will be shorter. They will be thirty-six inches and have large collars and cuffs, and fur buttons and belt. No fur combinations at all will be used this season. The evening wraps will be fairly plain, with big fur collars, wide at the bottom, and lapping over 20 inches where they fasten. Sheostring belts and buckles of self material, silver and gold embroidery, and either high choker collars, or a neck line cut only three inches from the base of the throat, one pocket next to the seam, and tight three-quarter sleeves, with white cuffs to the wrist are the new features of the tailleur and afternoon frocks. Many of them will have deep hems, buttons all the way down the back, and white lace yokes. Duvetyn and velvet in moose and brown, with an occasional Copenhagen blue will be the material most in vogue. For the fluffy young person, evening dresses of black lace over charmeuse, with French flowers will be shown, and for the woman given to severer lines; gowns beaded from top to bottom in all sorts of gorgeous colors. Both straps will be used. Gowns will be somewhat higher cut this year, both in front and in back, and some of them will even have little sleeves. FASHIONS IN BRIEF Ladder-stitching is effective on white lingerie blouses. Palm beach suits of silk are featuring silhouette embroidery. Huge flowers plastered flat against the brims are much seen in hat models. Mauve rose is the leading color and much buttercup yellow is being used for frocks. Brilliant scarlet wool coats hold their own from season to season as practical wraps. Printed plaited chiffon blouses are extremely good with plaited satin or taffeta skirts, and the combinations of colors are too numerous to mention. Light colored dresses in silk crepe or in organdie are shown with wide sash of black taffeta ribbon bowed at the side or the front. Jade and blue, mikado red and taupe, mahogany and bronze are favored color combinations. BROOKLYN This bewitching little hat of Bang, kok is the very latest to captivate Paris is. It is trimmed with a broad rose taf feta ribbon set off with large daisies. FABRICS FOR COOL CLOTHES Handkerchief Linen One of Favorite Summer Wear Materials—Organ-dies and Swisses Delightful. The question of material is quite as important as that of color in an effort to look refreshingly cool. Handkerchief linen has been voted one of the coolest fabrics and, of course, crisp organdles and Swisses are delightfully dainty. Volle and batiste are also favored in warm weather and net and lace frocks are sheer as well as extremely modish this season. Heavy linen, though a summer fabric, is often uncomfortably warm and makes its biggest successes at those fortunate resorts where really hot weather never penetrates. Summer silks are usually warmer than summer cottons, and the problem of the woman who spends her summer in town is indeed a hard one. Many conservative women do not approve of white or pastel shades in the business or shopping sections of the city. Sheer fabrics are not taboo, however, and organies, volles and Swisses in subdued tones make frocks that are cool both in appearance and in reality. Of course, navy is an old favorite in these materials and it is often dotted with white in organdie and Swiss. Other attractive colors, such as Copenhagen blue, are similarly dotted, and they are easier to get than the navy and white combination, which is so popular that it is very scarce in the shops. GAY VARIETY OF SUNSHADES English Paper Comments on Styles Out Since the Days of the World War. Not even in the almost-forgotten days before the war was there ever such a variety of sunshades as this season, says an English paper. Shapes have altered somewhat, and so have sizes. Sunshades of the normal size are still to be bought, but shapes are apparently reverting to the days of the crinoline. The little pattern with outstanding wires and sunshades of the small deep shape are again seen this season. The handles are long; some are without ferrules, and are of the club-stick pattern. The covers are bright, especially in the self colors and stripes. This season stripes run to greater width than last, and the checks, too, are large. Some styles are done in silk of beautiful quality, and some in printed shantung. The latter come in exquisite subdued shades. Fringe is used a good deal as a trimming. For one new example, the cover is white silk overlaid with white lace, and trimmed with black plaited tulle. FALL AND WINTER FASHIONS Styles Thus Far Only Guesswork and May Be Obliterated by Modes at French Openings. So far fall and winter styles are really guesswork, and the models that have been brought out already may lose caste when the French openings have spread their influence throughout the fashion world. Just at present simplicity seems to be the style rule, and the low waistline frocks that are being offered for early fall street wear are both simple and smart. One little loog waisted frock recently seen was of navy crepe meteon—a fabric, by the way, that seems to be having a strong vogue for fall—the waist and underneath skirt stitched in white so as to give it a checked appearance. The skirt proper, laid in three-inch flat plats, was attached to the waist at the hip line and a loosely draped chain girdle was of blue tone bakelite—the material so favored for pascal handles. On New Frocks In many of the new fat, frocks the lower half of the sleeve is made of silk if/the dress is of woo fabric, or of net, chiffon or georgette if of satin or taffeta. Knitted Silk Scarts. Knitted silk scarfs are popular and come in a wide range of colors and weaves. (@. 1920. Western Newspaper Union.) Greg Morton had been for two years a clerk in the store of Seth Gray. He had saved several hundred dollars and both his employer and his daughter Ruth, who helped in the store, liked him and admired his thrifty ways. Ruth had been almost unconsciously an important element in forming the character of the young man, but store, Ruth, thrift and humble contentment went all to the winds one day, when a letter arrived informing Morton that he had fallen heir to a small fortune. He resigned his position in the store by telephone, half wild with the immediate possession of several thousand dollars representing accumulations on investments, the principal on which was to become his further on. Then a few days later he appeared at the store, resplendent as to attire and jewelry adornment. "I've been so ousy getting used to being rich," he declared, "that I couldn't get around before. Mr. Gray, if you need any money, I've got a thousand or two you can have to expand your business." "You're a good-hearted fellow, Greg," spoke the storekeeper, "but slow and sure is my motto, and I never borrow. Ruth is upstairs in the living rooms." "I think I'll speak a word or two to her, if you don't object." "I won't, and neither will Ruth. We miss you too much for that." Morton sought out Ruth. As his eyes fell upon her neatly garbed form and expressive face, a vague sense of abandoning good old friends assailed him, but the emotion was only temporary. Glare and glitter had already fascinated him, and he was eager to get back to comrades who were indulently helping him to spend his newly acquired wealth. She greeted him in a friendly, familiar way, as was her custom with him, but there was a certain shyness, he quickly noticed, which he attributed to a realization on her part if changed. "I went shopping yesterday, Ruth," he said brightly, "to get my cousin a sunburst pin, and I've bought you one, too," and he extended a little velvet case exposing a pretty bauble with half a dozen diamonds in it. "I can't accept such an expensive present from you, Greg," spoke Ruth in a subdued tone, "but give me that rosebud in your buttonhole." If Greg followed an impulse, he would have gathered her into his arms and told her what he thought of her. Already, however, the wiles of a new social influence had enveloped him. The idle and pleasure seeking had claimed him as their own, particularly for his money. There was a group of newly made comrades who hung about him daily. There was a Miss Vera Burgoyne to whom he had been introduced, his senior by a few years, but artificially concealing the fact. She had set her cap to capture a young man hardly her equal socially, but with promising prospects. At heart a coquette, she had dazzled Morton quite, and his male friends had made him believe that a match with Miss Burgoyne would put him up in the world materially. They feasted on his generous bounty and flattered and cailed him. He was in for jollity, and when one day he appeared on the street with a hat controlled by a tiny wire, and shot it up from his head in greeting acquaintances, his chums noted him "so original." When again Morton drew a mock revolver from his pocket, snapped it and landed a cigar between his teeth, it was denominated "the classiest hit of the season." He was courted like a king, but one day— Morton never forgot it. He had discovered that he had used up his entire cash, even overdrawing at bank. On top of this came word that the concern in which his capital was invested had failed and his entire principal was swept away. Late nights, excitement, his loss brought on a natural reaction. Deserted by his friends, in debt and harassed with new troubles, he fell ill and lay in fever and delirium for over a week. "Queer," was his first word, faintly spoken, as he opened his eyes to normal coherency. "Ah, better? That's good," spoke the bluff, hearty tones of Seth Gray. "We thought you would be better cared for here than at the hotel. One good thing, we haven't been pestered with those new friends of yours. Miss Burgoyne sent a servant to inquire after you, once only." "That's more than I expected," said Morton, "for she dropped me in a flash when she heard of my loss. Not that I am sorry. False, selfish humanity. And you took me in. Well, I will be able to get about in a day or two and relieve you of my charge. I suppose you feel a bit hard at me leaving you the way I did—" "Oh, yes," observed Mr. Gray sattrically, "so much so that Ruth and I quarreled over which should sit up nights and care for you. So much so, that I am going to offer to take you into partnership, if you're over your evil dream, and have waked up to the practical issues of life." Greg Morton buried his head in the pillow to hide his tears. Big-souled Seth Gray—how he blessed him. Artless, loving Ruth—how her realized her true worth at last, and, when he told her so, knew that he had won a treasure among womankind. a ae ‘A National Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of Colored Americans.

Of the day when arson and pillage and murder laid un- holy hands upon the sacred fane of justice; when the life of the chief executive of the city was imperiled by booze-besotted, brothel-haunting habitues, because, true to bis oath of office, he demanded that the majesty of the law should be respected; when public property mounting into thou- sands was destroyed and private mer- chants suffered heavy losses by looting bands, bent forsooth, on wreaking vengeance on a hapless mortal of ebon hue suspected of a heinous crime, the story of the circumstances attending which could be given credence only by imbeciles; a day when hatred, could it have had its way by catching its marked victims detenceless and unpre- pared, would have slaughtered lisping babe and stooping age of the accused's race and given their sheltering homes which honest toil and industry had reared to the devastating flame; the day when this proud city received a blow, moral, spiritual and commercial from which her recovery will be la- mentably slow. How complete the rape of justice was on that ill-fated day and to what moral degradation the civic conscience had sunken is ind!- cated by the outcome of the trials for rioting, arson, conspiracy to murder and like crimes which a fearless coun- ty attorney vigorously prosecuted and fair-minded judges interpreted the law and instructed juries, That there were convictions and a sincere effort to punieh offenders we do not deny; but the difficulty in securing convictions in the face of indubitable evidence and the statement of many on the Jury panel, indignantly rebuked though they were by Judges, that they were in favor of lynching under certain cir- cumstances, reveals a sympathetic at- titude and moral turpitude which is cause for alarm and shows how com- pletely justice is raped when moboc- racy rises. It 1s because of this that ‘The Monitor speaks at this time, The same evil forces which evoked the mob spirit of a year ago can do the same again unless the forces which stand for righteousness and truth and justiee are ever on the alert to sup- press insidious propaganda, to take an uncompromising stand for law and or- der and exert every influence and agency at their command to create a public sentiment, so virile and strong, that the mob spirit cannot even breathe therein. Unless such a sentt- men {s created and maintained the time will come when no citizen's rights, life or property will be safe {p any American elty. May there never be in Omaha a recurrence of the scenes of a year ago. But let no on¢ ‘be deluded by the thought that the evi spirit of race prejudice which evoket them has been exorcised or banishet from the hearts of men and as long 1 that spirit is nourished and encour. aged, directly or indirectly, just xc Jong will there be a possibility of re grettable outbreaks of this character which if unchecked will lead to the downfall of the republic. ‘THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION Mas oer fo at Oe _W tention of ‘our readers to the absolute necessity of saving their money and preparing themselves to withstand the hardships of the indus- trial depression that lies ahead of us.

Men are being laid off, indefinitely. In cases where they are being re- employed it is at lower wages. This indicates the trend. It shows what lies ahead of us. In the industrial plants which only in the last few years have given employment to members of our race, if the usual custom obtain, and we believe it will, the first men to be discharged will be the men and women of our group. It has been the custom, speaking broadly, to dischatge Negroes first, and there is no doubt in our minds that this custom will prevail. Indeed, we have been advised that in many cases already this has been done. Our people ought therefore to be ex- ceedingly careful in using economy new and saving a portion of their earnings for the proverbial rainy day. The industrial situation de- mands that every man stick to his job as long as he can, giving the best service that is in him, and make wise use of his wages now in the time of his prosperity, that he and his family may be insured against privation and want should industrial depression and scarcity of work come upon us, which present indications seem to presage. THE DIVORCE MENACE ()IT & te lading newepapers of the country calls attention to the fact that at the present alarming in- crease of divorce in the United States the et not far distant when there will be\an even break of fifty-fifty between mariage and divorce, or in other words that there will be one divorce to every marriage. This is certainly alarming. “Facility of di- voree” wrote the historian Gibbon, “lead to the downfall of the Roman empire.” And yet the “facility of divoree” to which Gibbon referred can not hold a candle to the ease with which divorces can be secured in the United States. Hasty and ill-advised marriages, contracted it would seem, with the mental reservation that the marriage bond may be easily snapped, if everything is not to the liking of the contracting parties is largely re- sppsible for the scandalous and de- THE MONITOR moralizing increase of divorce. Peo- ple do not seem to realize that di- vorce, the breaking up of families and the dispersion of children resulting therefrom, undercuts the very founda- tion of society. ‘There is needed the development of a strong sentiment against divorce that will check this evil. Press and pulpit, foram and rostrum, courts of law and schools of learning should unite in teaching the people that facility of divoree leads inevitably to national decay and that the institution of marriage should be more sacredly regarded as the foundation and safeguard of fam- ily life upon which alone rests the perpetuity and permanence of the na- tion. The divorce evil, little as we may think it, is one of the most sin- ister forces menacing America today and should give us all such serious concern that each one will do all in his power to check its growth.

THE PERISCOPE “Ag Others See Us” The republicans count strongly on carrying the Negro vote and this is one of the main grounds upon which they base their expectations of suc- cess in the presidential election. They have put Henry Lincoln Johnson, the national committeeman from Georgia, in charge of the campaign among the colored voters and they are preparing to wage an extremely vigorous fight, especially in the way of propaganda through the hundreds of Negro week- ly and monthly magazines which are now being published. It may be ex- pected confidently that more atten- tion will be paid to the Negro vote this year than for a long time past. The republicans are relying largely on the traditional policy of the Negroes to vote the republican ticket, but they also lay store on the bitter feeling against the Wilson administration which has been voiced for a long time by Negro publications like the Crisis. —Charleston (S. C.) News-Courier. Nothibe Viler Than a Mob There is tlothing viler nor more contemptible than a mob, It always organizes to tear some already unfor- tunate or doomed person to pieces. Never, in the history of the world, did any mob gather to save, or strike in defense of truth or justice. The only instance cited to the contrary was the so-called mob that tore down the French Bastille. But this was not a mob at all, but a gathering of French patriots which included the entire pop- ulation of Paris, notables as well as peasants, hailing the opportunity to obliterate this fortress of oppression in which so many of both orders had so unjustly sufered. The psychology of the ordinary mob, as differentiated from the spirit of aroused citizenship, consists in the fact that a mob, which is composed in its very nature of individual cowardice, is not even gregariously courageous! ‘They only dare when they think they CAN; and the slightest doubt of their own security sends them flying in ev- ery direction. They are the SCUM OF HUMAN NATURE; and the only consolation about that comparison is ‘that dross gathers EVEN ON THE PUREST AND FINEST OF MOLTEN GOLD. The strength of the compari- son is, that humanity must throw off this SCUM before civilization can be purified.—Buffalo (N. Y.) Times. “Land Of The Free” ‘The enforcement of Negroes is par- ticularly atrocious. ‘They are rounded up in batches and charged with pet- ty offenses. They are sentenced to terms in the chain gang and work under armed guards, who treat them ‘tas dogs and drive them like slaves. Im this way, much of the public im- provements in the South are aecomp- lished. B ut this does not tell the com- plete story of Mr. Wilson's Democra- tic South. Negroes are also arrested in this happy section of “democracy” and farmed out in batehes to private exploiters. They work under the con- stant menace of the lash. In the courts the cards are stacked against them. The dice are loaded. The Ne- groes serve as a supply of cheap la- bor for many Southern corporations, and the vietims have no posibility ot redress from Mr. Wilson's beloved Democratic associates. Mr. Wilson, himself has never raised his voice in condemnation of this species of sla- very that exists almost within the ¢hadow of the White House. x . i Palace Clothing | Company 14th and Douglas Sts. § MEN’S CLOTHIERS : { Appreciates Colored Trade. § Courteous Attention. — Prices Right. : Somer EDONRRDARORE.

OMAHA'S OLDEST CITIZEN IS CALLED Mrs. Sally Sylvester, Who Was Born in Virginia Over a Century Ago, Passes Away at Negro Women's Home at Age of 108 Years. Last Thursday Mrs. Sally Sylvester affectionately known as "Mother" Sylvester, passed quietly to her well-earned rest at the N. W. C. A. home on Pratt street, where she had been an inmate for several years. Mrs. Sylvester was born in Virginia, where she was a slave, over a century ago. Subsequently she was taken into Missouri where she was also a slave until emancipation. She was taken first to Sr Louis and subsequently ran away to St. Joseph. She was unable to tell the exact year she came to Omaha, but remembered that there were a few shacks and Indian tepees on the banks of the river. She is supposed to be the first colored woman to settle in Nebraska. From reliable data it was estimated that she was 108 years old and therefore the oldest person in Omaha. She was so set down in the census. COUNCIL BLUFFS ITEMS Mrs. Mattie English of Omaha and Mr. W. A.

Donjill of Kalamazoo, Mich. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Sept. 29.—The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Wheatley of this city was the scene of a remarkable and unusual wedding ceremony Monday afternoon, when their two charming, accomplished and popular daughters, Yvetta Phyllis and Adah May, became the brides of two brothers, Harry J. and Doyle Alexander Donjill, sons of the late Rev. John A. and Mrs. Donjill of Kalamazoo, Mich. Aside from the unusual feature of the double wedding was the fact that it was solemnized on the thirty-eighth anniversary of the marriage of the brides' parents. The hour set for the ceremony was 1 o'clock. Just before the ceremony began Miss Blanche K. Morrison of Kansas City played the bridal chorus from "The Rose Maiden;" Mr. W. H. Potts sang "O Promise Me," and Miss Gladys Freels sang "At Dawning" and "All Mine Alone." Promptly at the appointed hour Miss Morrison began Mendelssohn's wedding march and the two grooms entered the parlor and took their stand under a beautiful floral canopy. They were immediately followed by the little ring bearer, Mosetta Combs, 3 years old, who carried the rings in roses. Following her came Yvetta on the arm of her father and Adah on the arm of her oldest brother, Vanie S. Wheatley of Omaha Rev. John Albert Williams, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church. Omaha read the beautiful and impressive marriage service of the Episcopal Church of which the brides are communicants. A reception attended by about two hundred guests followed from 2 to 4. The presents were many, costly and beautiful, representing gifts from leading families of both races in the city and elsewhere, attesting the esteem in which the young women are held here, where they were reared and educated. The couples left for Kalamazoo, where they will reside, late Monday afternoon. Among the out-of-town guests present were Mrs. Alice A. Donjill, mother of the grooms, of Kalamazoo; Mrs. Ella Lawson and daughter, Dorothy, of Columbus, O., aunt and cousin of the brides; Mrs. Mayne Wheatley Smothers of Lawrence, Kas., sister, and Mr. and Mrs. Vanie S. Wheatley of Omaha, Neb. GALLOWAY PLAYS STRONG GAME FOR CENTRAL Ledrue Galloway, playing his first game of the season, played fine football Friday September 24. This was Ledrue's first appearance on the first team of Central High school. He played end on the Reserves last year and was affectionately dubbed "gangway" by all who knew him, especially those who played opposite him. He was the only Colored lad in the game and his scrappy, peppy, aggressive playing soon earned the attention and appreciation of all the supporters of Central. South High, the opponents, soon saw the playing of Galloway and their dirty work of two years ago was started again. South High is noted for its dirty glaying and Friday all this dirt was turned loose against Galloway. Galloway played a clean game all the way through and made many telling gains for his team. Playing tackle, one of the hardest positions on the team, he filled his place well. All attempts to gain ground through Galloway ended in dismal failure. When called back to receive the ball Galloway hit hard and low. The first time he was given the ball he netted fifteen yards in a terrific line plunge. On several subsequent times he made first downs for the home team. Galloway was hailed by the World Herald as the mainstay of Central's team. He is holding down the position filled by Art Logan, All-State tackle, last year. It takes a good man to fill the place and Galloway surely is filling it. Go to it "Gangway," old boy. Show them what the Negro boy are made of! EMANCIPATION DAY SPEAKER Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 29.—The Drive for Justice Emancipation Day address was delivered here last Wednesday by the Rev.

In the afternoon he addressed the students of the George R. Smith College on "Christian Character and Racial Self-Respect." THE MONITOR N. A. A. C. P. NOTES The N. A. A. C.

HELPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Contributed by Fred D. Gamble, Chef de Cuisine, Chicago. III. HOW TO CHOOSE BEEF In choosing meat it should be remembered that without being actually unwholesome, it varies greatly in quality and often an inferior cut or joint is to be preferred from a first class beast to a more popular cut from a second class animal. For good beef the flesh should be of a close even grain, bright red in color and well mixed with creamy white fat, the suet firm and clear white. Heifer meat is smaller in the bone and lighter in color than ox. Cow beef is very similar to look at but being older it is much tougher and courser in the grain. Bull beef is never seen in a first-class butchers shop and may be recognized by the cournesses and dark color and strong smell of the meat. There are seven chief methods of cooking meat, vis: wasting, boiling, baking, stewing, frying, boiling and poaching. The first three are most suitable for points, weighing four pounds or more, but not for smaller pieces which are liable to become hard and flavorless by the drying up or loss of the juices. Of the other three methods, stewing may be applied to large pieces, but is much better for smaller ones, while frying or boiling are used for steaks, chops and such cuts. Braising and steaming are combinations of these methods. We will take these up in their order beginning next week. The Rev. J. A.

THE SINGING TONE AND THE VIBRATO The singing tone is the ideal one, it is the natural violin tone. Too many violin students have the technical bee in their bonnet and neglect it. And too many believe that speed is brilliancy. When they see the black notes they take for granted that they must "run to beat the band." Yet often it is the teacher's fault if a good singing tone is not developed. Where the teacher's playing is cold that of the pupil is apt to be the J. H. H. Clarence Desdunes same. Warmth, rounded fulness, the truly beautiful violin tone is more difficult to call forth than is generally supposed. And, in a manner of speaking, the soul of this tone quality is the Vibrato, though the individual instrument also has much to do with the tone. The Vibrato Not as it is too often mistakingly employed. Of course, any trained player will draw his bow across the strings in a smooth, even way, but that is not enough. There must be an inner, emotional instinct, on electric spark within the player himself that sets the Vibrato current in motion. It is the inner, psychic vibration which should be reflected by the intense, rapid vibration in the fingers of the left hand on the strings in order to give fluent expression to emotion. The Vibrato can not be used, naturally, on the open strings, but otherwise it represents the true means of securing warmth of expression. Of course some decry the Vibrato but the reason is often because the Vibrato is too slow. One need only listen to Ysaye, Elman, Kreister; Artists such as these employ the quick, intense Vibrato with ideal effect. An exaggerated Vibrato is as bad as what I might call the sentimental slide; a common fault, which many young students cultivate under the impression that they are playing expressively. New work: Mannerisms in playing Next week: Mannerisms in playing By Russell Taylor. The Presbytery of Omaha convened in the First Presbyterian Church for its regular fall session Monday evening. The Rev. Charles E. Bradt, D. D., of Chicago Presbytery, impressively addressed the congregation assembled for the popular meeting, on the many activities of the Church. Among the many needs for work confronting the Church, the speaker in no uncertain terms showed the sinfulness of the conflicts and acts of injustice caused by race hatred, and pointed out that the Church should no longer be indifferent to this all important issue. Again on Tuesday morning, the Rev. James M. Wilson, pastor of the North Presbyterian Church, in the course of an address on "Men's Work in the Church," evidenced much concern in the welfare of our race here. "It's a man's job to bring about proper adjustment in these matters and Presbyterian manhood should courageously rise to the task." he said. When the class of people represented in such gatherings as this are addressed in such terms by such leaders, there is much hope for early amelioration of existing conditions. Presbytery's committee on Church extension, reported hearty approval of the progress made by the Seward Street Congregation, and upon its recommendation, Presbytery appointed Dr. Edwin E. Jenks, Dr. James M. Wilson, Rev. J. W. Pressly and ruling elders, R. A. McEachron and Dr. W. F. Milroy as a committee to take steps towards organizing the congregation into a church. Self Historic Banner in London. At a sale of antiques recently in London, colors carried at the battle of Culloden in 1746 were sold to a Glasgow purchaser for £750 ($3,750). The colors were borne by Sir James Kinloch's battalion—the Second—of Lord Ogilvy's regiment, and is believed to be the only banner carried off by the young pretender's defeated army. All the colors taken in the battle were burned at Edinburgh—London Times. **agrance of rosewood** Keele wood, the commercial name applied to a beautiful wood used for ornamental furniture, derives its name from the fact that when the tree is cut the fresh wood possesses a strong use-like fragrance. The Lookout By JESSIE ETHEL SHERWIN "I've got the position! Oh! the rare, dear, good fortune of it all!" Alice Weston burst in upon her father aflame with excitement and delight. She had hurried all the way from the life saving station down at Cape Gray, two miles distant, and had run from the old lighthouse clear to the little cottage where John Weston sat reading a book. "Good for you, Bright Eyes," he enthused, bestowing a glad glance upon her. "Let us hear all about it." "You know, we heard how, during the summer season, the cape life-saving crew have planned to put a look-out signal station at the old lighthouse, so as to cover pleasure boats and bathers in this direction. The chief of the crew was awfully good to me. He inquired all about both of us, told me what I would have to do, and by Monday the telephone and the signals will be here for us, and I am to begin, my duties. Oh, papa! think of it! Sixty dollars a month!" Alice's eyes sparkled and those of her father filled with grateful tears. For over five years life had gone hard with those worthy and deserving souls, for Mr. Weston was too old to take parties out in his boat. "We are to keep your boat ready for use," Alice went on, "and they will pay you ten dollars a month for what use it may have. They expect us to find some one to be within call of our station, ready to start out if any accident occurs on this side of the cape. You see, in most cases what comes under my notice I phone to the cape, but if there is a capsized boat or an accident to a swimmer near us, some one must be ready to start right out to the rescue." The next morning a bronzed, hardy looking young man appeared at the cottage. He had heard of the position and had been directed to Mr. Weston by a neighbor. At a glance Alice discerned that the applicant was no ordinary workman. He simply stated that he had met with a serious reverse of fortune, had owned a yacht once, knew all about water craft and would be glad to secure the position offered. The life saving service chief appeared on the scene a little later, to look after some repairs in the tower that was to be the daily home of Alice, and she introduced North, whose services were at once arranged for. Monday morning Alice reached the tower to find its top circular room newly whitewashed, the phone in and the place swept out and dusted. A pretty bouquet of wild flowers showed in a tin cup. North had arrived in advance of her. "You worked all this magic!" said Alice, with grateful eyes. "That ought to be part of my duty every morning," declared North. "See," and he pointed through the door of an alcove. "I've arranged for board. As to the lodging, could anything be better?" and he indicated a hammock swing across window openings where the sea breeze came in fresh and bracing. Incidentally Alice learned that North had been left quite a fortune, but had been defrauded out of it by schemers. He had come down to the cape to sail a yacht for a very wealthy gentleman, but the latter had been taken ill. "It left me stranded," he explained, "but I'll be able to get along here on what the position pays me for the rest of the season." He was courteous, well read, refined in manner. During the first month of service he had saved a struggling and exhausted bather who had ventured too far out in the surf, and one stormy afternoon both he and Alice took the oars and reached a cap-sized boat just in time to rescue two young girls clinging to it. He had gone to take a report to headquarters one day when storm signals were up, and returning, instead of coming up to the lookout, he hurried to the boat. Bending the oars vigorously, North drove forward diagonally in the direction of the cape. Soon, Alice, her eyes to the telescope, divined his purpose. He was cutting across the track of a light craft holding one man. As he reached it Alice uttered a sharp scream. A puff of smoke and then the faint echo of a pistol report told her of a desperate encounter. The boats were side by side. She saw North, who had fallen, arise, shift his oar, strike at the man who had fired at him and spring beside him. The shore boat floated away. The smaller one, both men apparently helpless, drifted unguided. Alice sensed a tragedy. She acted like the true daughter of the sea that she was. In a few moments she was garbed in a light bathing suit. She was a superb swimmer, but fairly exhausted as she clambered into the drifting boat. Both of its occupants lay senseless. She got them ashore, called her father and within an hour North was able to tell his story. "I heard in the town of a great jewel robbery at the hotel," he explained, "and noticed that suspicious boat. It contained the stolen plunder." The thief was taken in charge by officers sent for. There came back a phone message. "There is one thousand dollars reward waiting here for somebody." Of course the "somebody" was Gerard North, and his first investment, after a month's nursing by the solicitous Alice, was an engagement ring.

Anita Patti Brown Speaks in Favor of Harding on Her Concert Tour. Which is To Be An Extensive One. WANTED TO NURSE OWN SOLDIERS New Enfranchised Citizens Display Intelligence in Deciding Individual Ballots. CHICAGO; Sept. 30.—Great interest is being manifested by colored women in the campaign. They are displaying a fine intelligence of the issues and are apt to adopt the most approved methods of organization to the end that their vote may have a telling effect. It has been a source of general surprise the remarkable intelligence the average colored woman has shown for the points of contention. They enter into every phase of the current discussions, and display every indication of having followed the trend of politics through the years of their fight for suffrage. Occasionally a colored man might find his way into the Democratic party, but there is yet to be discovered an active colored woman Democrat. Colored women are all Republicans and it is a matter of general congratulation. Mrs. Anita Patti Brown, famous singer and ardent supporter of the candidacy of Senator Harding, sees very clearly from the colored woman's point of view. Mrs. Brown travels extensively with her concerts and has delighted audiences throughout the country, and is a great favorite among the women of the race. "Since we have arrived at our new estate and have full rights with the men we are firmly resolved to serve our race by voting the Republican ticket." said Mrs. Brown. "Wherever I have appeared there is an earnest interest in the election and the women have a full understanding of what is required of them. Of course, in many instances the simple matter of method in voting is not so thoroughly understood among our women, but there is no doubting that the desire of colored women is to vote for Harding and by so doing help the race. There may be some doubts in the minds of the men but you may be sure that there are none abiding with the women. All through the border States the women have been waiting for this great boon to show their loyalty to the party that has always been loyal to them. "The fact that the Democrats denied the privilege to colored nurses of nursing our colored wounded soldiers in France is a standing grievance that will not soon be forgotten. We all did our bit in the war, all of us, from the leaders of our women folks to the humblest washerwoman. We bought Liberty Bonds, worked in every capacity that was opened to us, and no one could cast any reflections upon our loyalty, but our girls were not permitted to nurse their own brothers and sweethearts in France, it mattered not what their qualifications were. "It is not only the colored men who have a grievance against the Democratic administration, but the women as well. The malicious segregation that is undertaken in the government offices at Washington is a disgrace to the country and a humiliation to our people. Colored parents educate their daughters and when they go into the civil service examinations and win appointments, the Democrats refuse them positions that they have honestly won on account of their color." WEDS GERMAN, LOSES LEGACY Hartford Man Disinherited by Teuton Hating Grandmother HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 30. Because he married a German wife Arthur C. Johnson of Philadelphia is disinherited in his grandmother's will, filed here today. How strongly the testatrix, Mrs. Ellen Tuttle Johnson of this city, felt toward Germans is shown in this clause in which she cuts off her grandson: "I do not wish any portion of my personal effects to go to a German wife or her family. Mrs. Johnson, who died Thursday in Hopington, Mass., distributed cash legacies of about $38,000 in her will. Playing the Game The Negroes of Baltimore, indignant because their race has not been given recognition in the distribution of patronage by the republican senator, Smith, of that state, have nominated a Negro lawyer of that city for United States senator. Without the support of the Maryland Negroes, Senator Smith is doomed to an overwhelming defeat.—Lawrenceville (Ga.) Herald. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE MONITOR. Patronize The Monitor Advertisers. COLORS IN THE HOME ROOMS Many Tints to Rick From, but Harmony Should Be the Watchword for Cheerfulness. "This is the blue room," so many people who are showing you their homes will say to you, "or this is the pink room," and the only thing you can think of is how could they think it necessary to tell you, you couldn't possibly make a mistake, it certainly was blue—or pink, as the case may be. The trouble is that they do not realize that every room needs splotches of different colors to give it character. For example, one young woman wanted a rose bedroom. She bought white furniture and had the walls done in pale pink and white striped paper. There was a rose rug on the floor with a darker rose border, roses ran riot over the white curtains, the chairs were upholstered in the same rose cretonne, there was a rose lining under the lace bed cover, and a rose chiffon shade on the reading lamp at the head of the bed. Everything was lovely, and yet she didn't like it, but she didn't know why. Her first guest was an interior decorator and she was able to put her finger on the difficulty from the very start. She made her put the rosy cretonne curtains in another room, and get a black and white striped material for the windows, hang a stunning black lacquered mirror over the low boy, change the lamp shade for a French blue one with rose-colored trimmings and put a few dashes of the French blue about in little accessories, a quill pen on the desk, a couple of candles on the dressing table, and it was perfect. In a blue room, of course the blue predominates, but if there isn't anything else but blue it is terribly cold and gloomy. A very lonely blue living room has chintz over-curtains in blues, yellows and greens, there is a yellow shade on the floor lamp with blue bands the rugs are in soft oriental colorings, and there is a great, glowing Maxfield Parrish: print over the couch, which has a black cover and blue and yellow cushions. ATTRACTIVE GIFT FOR BABY Container for Soiled Linens Is Easily Made—Same Idea Serves as Wastepaper Basket. A very useful little inexpensive gift for the new baby is a baby's soiled linen box. Ask your outfitters for a small round hat box about one foot high, and with no lid. Take a piece of rosebud, or some other small design, chintz or printed sateen and cut exactly to fit around the box, of course figuring enough for the seams. Allow three inches at the bottom end of the chintz, and stitch a hem for a drawstring. Slip the box in and draw the strings. The bottom should draw up neatly just under the box, and the top well over the edge. One will find that with the heading added there is just enough room left to slip in the little garments easily, and yet they will not fall out, should the box be overturned. The slip cover, being loose, can be easily laundered. The same idea would answer equally well as a wastepaper basket, carried out on larger scale. CHIC COAT FOR TRAVEL WEAR M Here is shown a Parisian traveling coat of soft undyed cloth with white and blue stripes running diagonally across the waist. Use of the Flouncing. A favorite way to use the flouncing in the bodice is to carry it up over each shoulder from the front of the belt to the back of the belt, letting it come out on the arm and form a short kimono sleeve. Or, if there is not enough then it may simply be used as a vestee in front with piece to match at the back and the rest of the blouse made of net, tucked, puffed or plotted. The puffed net sleeve, with three bands of narrow lace confining the puffs is a very popular and attractive sleeve at the present moment. It is quaint and summery. Silk Braid Adds Chic. A straight frock with a panel back and front is given chic by row after row of silk braid which fills in the sides. THE MONITOR DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER BY THE AUTHOR "One thing that annoys me," said the weather, "is the way every one seems to think it is my duty to do as each one wishes. Now that is impossible." "I know that," replied Peter Gpome. "I know that full well. But it does seem to be hard to make people understand that." "Now, I was passing a family of deer eating cabbage. They were as good as could be," said the weather. "They looked at me out of their beautiful eyes, but they didn't scold me or grumble about me." "They are so sweet and gentle," said Peter Gnome. "And I saw some beavers, quite a colony of them," said the weather. "They didn't complain of me." "No," said Peter Gnome, "they have too much sense. Though I don't like to say people haven't much sense, for they have a great deal, in one way they're very foolish. "If they only knew that it did no good to grumble about the weather," Peter Gnome continued. "If they only would understand that the King of the Clouds and old Nurse Fog and the Mist Grandchildren and the Winter boys, such as old King Snow and Prince Sleet and all had to have their time around once in a while, and that it was very foolish to grumble." "What I can't understand," said the weather, "is this. In the first place I've been here for years and years and years and years. There has always been Old Man Weather. I am older than these creatures who grumble. Parents tell their children to respect their elders. They tell them not to be rude and so forth. "But they don't tell them they should be polite to Old Man Weather. They don't tell them that at all. And they don't set the children a good example. They grumble a great deal more than the children, a great deal more. It is dreadful the way they grumble. "Now one can't expect anything better of the children if the grown-ups are going to set them a bad example. But how I would like to tell them a few things! How I would like to say to them: "Don't you know that I'm an elder, too? Why don't you teach the younger members of your family to be polite to me and why don't you set a good example yourselves? That is what I would like to say to them. I would. "Ah, yes. Old Man Weather, has been here for a great many years, and it is high time creatures would know that he does things in his own way. He is an old fellow now and he can't learn new ways. "He isn't a child. He can't go to school and learn his lessons all over again. He must do the way he has always done. The way his teachers, the King of the Clouds, Mr. Sun, old Nurse Fog, King Snow, Jack Frost, the Breeze brothers and Mr. Wind have taught him. He has had fine old teachers and he must do as they say. He cannot begin and do things differently. I do wish they would understand that. I get so tired hearing them grumble. "I must do as my teachers have taught me to do. I must give a va- weather of different kinds, for I am weather and I am made up of all sorts of days. "If I were the same al ways, they'd get tired of me, and it wouldn't be fair. If it never rained what would the people do for flowers and vegetables and fruits? What would they do about their crops? How would their gardens look? And what would happen to the little birds who sing for them, and who add to the world with their gay feathers and their cheerful voices? "They would not be able to stand it if the rain didn't come and cool them on the hot summer days. "Ah, yes. Old Man Weather is made up of all sorts of days, and he is an old, old fellow, and cannot change his ways now, so Peter Gnome, won't you tell them so? And won't you tell them that I am awfully nice and good natured, and that they can have a good time on all of my days if they'll only try? "And won't you tell them to respect me because of my age, the great, great age of Old Man Weather? Do tell them all of that, Peter Gnome, please!" OLD WEATHER Eating Cabbages. "I must do as taught me to do,riety of weather,weather of different kinds,for I am weather andI am made up ofall sorts of days.

How would their gar dens look? And what would happen to An Involuntary Crusoe By ALVAH J. GARTH (© 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) A stumble across a stout vine, a headlong fall, then half a somersault and Ross Bradley, nearly stunned, felt a painful twinge in one limb and lay helpless. "A change, some excitement, new visions and motives in life and you'll come back brisked up," was the prophecy of his physician at home, and this was the beginning of all that, as it turned out. He had decided to put in a week at Brompton and had taken a boat, rowing through a chain of little lakes and finally seeking a shady spot upon an island in the center of the last one of these, had met with the mishap described. Bradley started to get to his feet and then desisted, for one limb had sustained a severe sprain. The pain was so intense, the injured member so useless, that he dragged himself with difficulty to a fallen tree and calculated the chances of getting back to his boat. As he located the little skiff he uttered a sharp cry of dismay. "Worse and worse," he uttered lugubriously. He had left the boat at frail moorings, a keen breeze had come up and it was afloat headed for a continuous run until halted by the mainland two miles away. Twice Bradley rose up intent on reaching the beach of the island and sank to the ground with a groan. He improvised a crutch from a tree branch, but found locomotion still ineffective. His face became serious. Bradley realized that he could not count upon leaving the island except through outside help. Then a gleam of hope supervened. A little distance away there presented evidences of a picnic party having visited the spot—recently, too, for the papers scattered about were new and clean. Some wooden plates and empty bottles made a heap under a tree. Bradley crawled toward it, for he was hungry and realized the necessity of food should he be marooned for any length of time. There were pie tins, tissue napkins, empty cans, and he laughed quite jubilantly as he drew from the mass a box marked "Crackers," and still sealed. "Bless the kind soul that left this behind!" he soliloquized gratefully. "Marked two pounds, I won't starve for a day or two, anyway." Bradley opened the end of the box. It contained plain sodas, crisp and clean. He sampled one and it tasted delicious. He paused with the fifth one-half demolished. "It is probably as well to ration myself," reflected Bradley, and began a mental apportionment of his only possible food supply. A little distance away was a bubbling spring. Bradley resigned himself to patience and rest. It was getting towards dusk. He slumbered and did not awake until morning. His limb was more useless than when first injured, for it had stiffened and grown sore to the touch. Bradley managed to reach the beach. He tied two handkerchiefs to a stick ready to signal any possible passing craft. He was an expert swimmer, but crippled to an extent that prohibited safe water locomotion. It was the second morning that he made his breakfast on the last of the crackers. As he emptied out the final one, with it came a card. On one side was printed the chronicle "Packed by No. 171." On the other side was pasted a small medallion photograph. It was one of those twenty five cents for a dozen pictures produced at picnics, water places and fairs by intenstiner camera men, but the subject was very lovely of face and even quick work could not spoil the perfect control. Bradley allowed his mind to drift into a pleasing day dream. He somewhat strained reality by declaring that No. 171 had saved him from starvation! He planned out whimsically how he would trace down the original of the photograph. Then he forgot all about it for over a week, for just then two fishermen passing in a boat discovered his signal, and until he was restored to normal Bradley recuperated in luxury at the hotel at Brompton. Ross Bradley did not have to work for a living. There was a profitable business which he had inherited, but he had entrusted its operation to a trustee. With time hanging heavily on his hands, as the incident of the cracker box recalled to his mind he welcomed the excitement of the adventure of ferreting out "No. 171." He enjoyed fancying he was following out approved detective methods in locating the factory, in finally tracing down No. 171. But it was to find a hoydenish girl of eighteen, full of furtious nonsense, not in any manner resembling the little photograph. She had packed the fateful box, but out of mischief, had pasted on the picture of Miss Mabel Whiting, so Bradley finally unearthed the fact, who was the secretary of the president of the company employing both. One sight of the original of the picture and Ross Bradley had, indeed, found a motive in life. Romance had led him on to follow out an idle whim. Now genuine love impelled him. It was not until they were on their honeymoon that Ross revealed the story of the treasured packing ticket. He replaced it reverently within his pocket and drew Mabel to a safe resting place, blessing the day when fate had sent him seeking for her. Golden Rule Store 4914 SOUTH 24th ST.

In fact, very serious cases ofq skin erup- tions, enlarged and distorted pores discolored pigment and even blood- poisoning have been known to result from the use of some of these worth- less preparations. Often it has been too late to check the onrush of disease after having used this class of prepa- rations. ‘The skin and scalp are among the most important parts of the body and should be treated with diligent care Unfortunately, they are about the most neglected parts. It is only by constant care that one may hope to have a beau- tiful complexion and only by selecting preparations of merit that one may hope to preserve that which nature has xiven us. In selecting preparations for the care and treatment of the skin and scalp, the utmost precaution should be taken and only such prepa- ration should be selected as will bear chemical analysis and that have a reputation for quality and effective- ness. For fifteen years the Madam C. J. Walker Superfine Preparations for the hair and skin have stood the tests and most thorough examinations and en- joyed a reputation for high quality and effectiveness and these preparations can safely be recommended by men and women all over America and in 26 for- eign countries as ranking high among the very best on the market. They are guaranteed by their manufacturers to produce no detrimental results and if used as directed, will do all that fs claimed. It is recommended that you use Madam C. J. Walker's Wonderful Preparations for the hair and Madam C. J. Walker's Superfine Preparations for the skin. The nearest Madam C. J. Walker Agent will be pleased to, sup- ply you or a liberal trial treatment will be mailed anywhere upon receipt of a dollar and a half. Address the Madam C. J. Walker Mfz.

So far their progress has come chiefly from contact with the whites. Whenever and wherever they show the ability to go ahead and rise on their wn hook, they ought to be helped to do it and protected until they get the necessary strength to protect them- selves, Africa is a large place, and not all of it is equatorial or better adapted to black people than to white. There is room there for much experiment, and, of course, there is time for everything —there is lots of time. The ideas that are fermenting now may take centur- ies to work out—probably they will; but what are centuries to the Ancient of Days! What we do not want in this coun- try, and what the world seems to re- gard with increasing aversion, is ad- mixtures of different colored races. ‘We do not want mulatto or mestizo | civilizations.
