CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION IS PROBABLE James Weldon Johnson's Revelation of Conditions As Found By Him In Island Verifies Rumors of Mistreatments of Haitians at Hands of Some Americans. (Special to The Monitor) NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Serious charges of mistreatment of the people of Haiti at the hands of American marines have frequently reached this country since the present administration took charge of the Island. It has been claimed that the American military authorities, chiefly Southerners, with their usual contemptuous attitude towards black people, have been running affairs with a high hand. This attitude has elicited opposition from the high-spirited Haitians, many of whom have left their homes and gone to the mountain fastnesses. Reports of rape of Haitian girls by American marines have become notorious. Recently James Weldon Johnson, who knows Haiti well, was sent there by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people to investigate and report on conditions. Mr. Johnson bears the reputation of being fair-minded. The result of his investigation has been published in The Nation and other leading publications of like standing and merit. His report has also been laid before the Secretary of State. His indictment is most serious. Summarized his report shows that the charges of violation of women have foundation in fact and have not been exaggerated; that over 3,000 natives have been killed under cover of resisting military authority and that the wishes of Haitians have been disregarded and over-ridden. Arraigns Administration Incidentally Mr. Johnson's report is a serious arraignment of the policy of the Wilson administration in Haiti whose constitution it will be recalled as The Monitor recently pointed out, Franklin Roosevelt, the democratic nominee for vice-president, boasted he had written. The report specifically recites: 1. That the island of Haiti was seized by United States Marines and that in five years some 3,000 natives were shot. 2. That the Haitian assembly was dispersed by force at the order of an American officer of Marines and that the Haitian republic has been virtually overthrown. 3. That a convention was forced by the United States upon the Haitian government, changing the constitution of Haiti, so that Americans could purchase and own land there. 4. That the invasion of Haiti and the conduct of Haitian affairs had been unduly benovelent to the National City Bank of New York, whose vice president, Roger L. Farnham, had represented the state department of Haiti. 5. That the salaries of the president and other officers of Haiti were withheld because the Haitian government refused to turn over the National Bank of Haiti to the National City Bank, alleging that an agreement previously made had been tampered with. Explanation Demanded. Among the newspapers which have editorially demanded explanations from the State Department of the occupation of Haiti are the New York Evening Post, The Globe and The Tribune. Ask Investigation. The secretary of state in reply to THE MONITOR Mr. Johnson's charges published several statements announcing that General Lejeune, Commandant of the Marines and Admiral Knapp had been sent to Haiti to investigate. He also insisted the intentions of the United States in Haiti had been "benevolent." Mr. Johnson thereupon replied, asking for a congressional investigation of affairs in Haiti and charging that the investigations by General Lejeune and Admiral Knapp would probably result in an official whitewash. Latest advices to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indicate that a congressional investigation will be held as a consequence of Mr. Johnson's charges.

FIGHTING TO LIBERATE MEMBERS 24TH INFANTRY FROM FEDERAL PRISON Prominent Attorneys Are Making Active Efforts to Secure the Release of Soldiers Serving Life Sentences for Alleged Participation in Houston Riot of Three Years Ago Precipitated by Brutal Treatment of Comrades by Local Police (By Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—Active efforts are being made to secure the liberty of the 41 soldiers of the 24th infantry. Now serving life sentences in the Federal Penitentiary as Leavenworth, Kan. These men were convicted of participation in the riots at Houston, Tex., August 23d, 1917, when after they had suffered an unbearable campaign of insult and abuse at the hands of the city policemen and citizens, a group of the soldiers on hearing of the death of a comrade at the hands of the Houston police, swept through Houston dealing death to every police officer and armed civilian who opposed them. An enthusiastic meeting was held at the Eighth regiment armory recently and addresses were made by Attorney Turner W. Bell, Attorney R. A. J. Shaw and Bishop A. J. Carey. Plans for aid to the men were discussed, it being contended that a fair trial was denied them. The court was held in Fort Sam Houston described by one of the speakers "as a short distance from the scene of the riot, in an atmosphere reeking with prejudice and under the auspices of the Southern department of the army, said to be made up of race hating officers." The regiment was full of new and untrained men just recruited, who fearful of their lives, "peached" on their comrades, in many cases implicating innocent men. As a result of the court martial. 13 men were taken out secretly and hanged, while 41 were sent to Leavenworth as a result of the riot. The war was on. No hope could be entertained at that time of aiding the men who were accused of mutiny during time of war. Several societies in the middle west took interest but accomplished little. Finally Turner W. Bell, the famous colored lawyer of Leavenworth was invited into the case. Associated with him are Attorneys Elisha Scott and Barbour of El Reno, Okla., and Topeka, Kan. Mr. Bell has an enviable reputation as a lawyer. He has liberated more men from the federal penitentiary than any other lawyer in the United States, 686 in all. He is the counsel who secured the release of the labor men in the famous McNamarra dynamic HOT --- case. He is now counsel for 159 members of the I. W. W. who are in prison and has been identified with numerous other noted cases and ranks as one of the great habeas corpus lawyers of the country. He says the men can be freed. The lawyers are now engaged in two efforts; one to take the case to the United States Court of Appeals and second, to simultaneously present to the next president of the United States, a petition signed by hundreds of thousands of citizens. To carry the case up will cost much money. It is declared "that the fight of these men is the fight of our group." Their friends say that by avenging insults to their uniforms on account of color, they should not be persecuted." The Chicago Defender has issued an appeal in their behalf and will accept contributions to aid the men in their fight for liberty. Subscriptions by organizations or individuals should be sent to The Chicago Defender, 5159 S. State St., Chicago, Ill. HAITIANS GET SALARIES Admiral Knapp Has Satisfactory Talk With President. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Rear-Admiral Knapp, recently sent to Haiti by the State Department to investigate conditions has made a preliminary report telling of a "very satisfactory conference" with the President of Haiti. One of the subjects in controversy in Haiti was the reported holding up of the salaries of the President and other officials of the Government. According to State Department officials this has been satisfactorily arranged and salaries are now being paid. KANSAS THE FIRST REPUBLICAN ISSUE The Extension of Slavery Was in Fact The Real Vital Question Which Gave Birth to The Republican Party Which Must Continue to Champion Liberty. INITIAL CONVENTION HELD AT PITTSBURG, FEB. 22, 1856 Colonel Fremont First Party Nominee. Freedom Festival And Gageant Inaugurating Campaign Drew 100,000 People to Dayton For Big Political Rally. By Frederick J. Haskin. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—With "bleeding Kansas" as the issue, the republican party made its first appearance in the arena of national politics in 1856, with Colonel John C. Fremont as its candidate. If Franklin Pierce and his followers had been content to rest upon the compromise of 1850 as the final settlement of the slavery question in politics, the inevitable clash of the civil war might have been postponed for a long time. But the democrats had won such a great victory and the opposition, that the Pierce administration imagined it could do anything with impunity. Indulging in that mistaken belief, Pierce brought about the repeal of the Missouri compromise. Then, with the doctrine that slavery must be permitted in territories, the believers in the "peculiar institution" sought to extend it to the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. Both of these territories were north of the "thirty-six thirty" line of the Missouri compromise and its repeal opened up the whole question. The republican party was born big, it stirred up one of the hottest campaigns the country has ever known before it was actually in existence as a national body. It owed much of its power in its first campaign to Horace Greeley and the New York Tribune. The Tribune was the republican newspaper which berated the abuses which were exciting the whole country, yet it would coo as softly as the dove of political expedition demanded. It even went so far as to bid southern support for Fremont and talked of avoiding the "danger of a solid north" pleading the while or establishment of a "solid north." Slavery The Real Issue." No campaign up to that time had had so many issues. Of course slavery was the only real issue, but as yet not one person had dared to oppose slavery in the states where it existed. It was only against the extension of slavery that the free soilers, the liberal whigs, the anti-democrats and the republicans were fighting. But the southerners realized that republican success would mean an ultimate attack upon the state's rights of which they were such ardent defenders. The republican party held its first convention at Pittsburgh on Washington's birthday and formed an organization. It called a nominating convention to meet at Philadelphia on Bunker's Hill, day. That convention met and nominated John C. Fremont for vice president and William L. Dayton for vice president. The democrats held their convention in Cincinnati, the first national convention ever held west of the Alleghanies. The race for the nomination was spirited, the candidates being James Buchanan, who was chosen on the seventeenth ballot, Franklin Pierce, Stephen A. Douglas and Lewis Cass, John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky was nominated for vice president. One of the greatest political meetings or "rallies" ever held in this country was the "Fremont and Freedom festival" at Dayton, O., on July 30, 1856. There were more than a hundred thousand people there, from all over Ohio and from adjoining states. The rallying cry that day was "There is a North!" One of the chief features was a burlesque democratic parade participated in by a company of young men from Indiana. This parade was headed by no less a per- (Continued on Page Two.)

Then there were floats representing "Buch and Breck," the Walker fillibusters, border ruffians beating women to death, southerners applying tar-and-feather coats to free-state men, a Simon Legree beating an Uncle Tom, a Brooks breaking his cane over a Summer's head, Brigham Young and his wives, (Mormonism was then a democratic asset) and all winding up with a representation of the "gigantic Douglas attacking the Missouri compromise. That day it was declared there were only two parties in Ohio—"The Peoples' and the Postmasters." When the election was over there was hardly a suggestion of a cessation of the republican activity. Nobody believed that Buchanan would be able to solve the delicate problems which confronted him. The great battle was already on.

BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 7.—Stewart Davis, who is managing the movement to put a colored candidate in the field for the United States Senate, has the certificate of candidacy of W. Ashleigh Hawkins, colored lawyer of this city, filed in the office of the Secretary of State. He announced that the petitions for the candidacy of Hawkins had already been signed by not less than 2,500 persons and that it was expected that before the list was closed it would mount up to at least 5,000 names. Not only have the petitions been signed, but they have gone so far as to organize about twenty colored clubs in the city and various parts of the State, and some of these have the name of Harding Coolidge and Hawkins. The colored people are reported to be very active for a candidate of their own, especially at Easton, Cambridge and Hagerstown, as well as in Baltimore city, and the backers of the colored candidate say they can count on the almost solid support of the women of their race for the candidate for the Senate.

Telephone Webster 880 THE MONITOR Straight and Crooked By CECILLE LANGDON When Millville graduated from a mere struggling hamlet into a growing village it had two well traversed thoroughfares only. The first one had been called Straight street from time immemorial and was aptly so designated. Branching off from it was what had been originally a mere cow path. No effort was made to untangle its sinuosities. The precise opposite of the broad, far extending street called Straight, it was naturally termed Crooked street. As time went on and the town grew they changed the name to Belleplaine avenue, but the old settlers and even the younger generation very often called it by its old name. It was probably mere circumstance that lodged Vernon Blair on Straight street. The thoroughfare was respectable and he was of a character that would seek such an environment. It was predilection, however, that drifted Blake Massey to Crooked street. Gradually that avenue had become obscure, its houses dilapidated. It was the social dumping ground of the town and what there were of drinking places and the like found a harbor that suited them. Massey had decent rooms above a pawn shop. He liked to be amid scenes of activity and excitement and the place suited him. He never stopped to think that the companionship he incidentally gained was not elevating, but he cherished his lively evenings among men who liked to see what they called "life." He had charge of a floor in the principal department store of the town and Vernon Blair was the manager of another paying the best salary in the establishment. Blair had worked hard and faithfully to gain this pre-eminence. He had honest dreams of a future and when he fell in love with Lesbia Burrows he fancied the saw success before him. Blair was uneasy when he learned that Massey had been introduced to Lesbia by a mutual friend and noted that his flashy ways had a certain effect in interesting Lesbia, her family and her friends. There was a flaunting, spacious fellow named Greg Barth with whom Massey trained and one day at the noon hour these two met in a restaurant near the store. "Well, I fancy I've set the ropes," was the greeting of Barth. "So far as this Burrows girl you are so wild over, is concerned. I don't think her folks will tolerate much of Blair's company after a letter I have got a particular friend of mine in Empton to write reaches them. That will be his quietus." "Now then, about his position at the store." "You know that little cousin of mine, Ned Trotter, was transferred to Blair's department last week?" "Yes." "Well, leave the rest to Ned. I've posted him and he is clever as they make them. Pretty soon Blair's department will be in a muddle, missing goods, neglect in deliveries and all that. You understand?" "I do," assented his unprincipled confere, "and I won't be begrudge a liberal rake off when I get the new position." A month later to the amazement of everybody who knew him, Vernon Blair was dismissed from the service of the store. Because the parents of Lesbia began to act coldly and suspiciously toward him he left Millville, attempting no explanation of his dismissal, and took a subordinate position in Empton. This confirmed a certain suspicion Mr. and Mrs. Burrows entertained, for a letter that coupled his name with a young lady who came from that town had reached them. Lesbia mourned, but she bore her grief in silence for circumstances allowed no meeting with Blair again. One day Lesbia was passing a street corner when an automobile furiously driven turned it sharply. A lad of about sixteen was directly in its path. He was borne down and then tossed against the curb. The spot was only a square from Lesbia's home. She recognized the lad as Ned Trotter, knew that he lived poorly with strangers and in her sympathy and interest in an orphaned boy had him conveyed to her own home. For a week Ned was given tender and willing care by the Burrows family. His injuries were quite serious, but he mended rapidly. He was seated in an invalid chair on the porch one day, when he noticed Lesbia gazing at a photograph, her eyes brimming with teases. The original of the picture at a glance he knew to be Vernon Blair. The better nature of Ned stirred within him. He recalled the plot against Blair in which he had been induced to act. He knew about the false letter. He had come to idolize these new friends who had done so much for him. "Miss' Burrows," he spoke, "I have done you and Mr. Blair a great wrong. Will you help me right it?" And then the whole story came out. It presented Ned in no enviable light. "But I'm willing to suffer if I have to," he declared pluckily. "My part I will freely confess. All I say about the letter I will prove." It took only a few days for Lesbia to straighten out the tangle that threatened to destroy her happiness and that of Vernon Blair. Quietly Massey was discharged, as quietly Blair was reinstated. The plotter departed for parts unknown. His victim won the bride of whom he was truly worthy.

Oven roasting as practiced in the ordinary way in stoves and ranges is not considered as good as roast- ing before an open fire but meat roasted in this manner does not lose as much of its weight as it does be- fore un open fire. The finish of a roast depends upon the amount of basting it receives. All seasontng should be added when meat is put in the oven. Fresh killed meat re- quires longer cooking than more sea- soned meat. Less time is required in warm weather than in cold. White meat such as pork, veal and lamb showid always be cooked well done and never served rare. ‘the time required to cook a roast depends upon the size of roast and the heat of the oven usually about 12 to 15 minutes to the pound will turn out a very satisfactory roast. A moderate heat will give the best results without the danger of burn- ing. Cream Salad Dressing Cream one cup of butter and one- half cup of sugar; add, one table- spoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of mustard and a pinch of cayenne pep- per; then, four eggs well beaten: next, one cup of cream; now, one and one-half pints boiling vinegar, (a lit- tle at a time); then, place over fire until it nearly Wils, remove and bot- tle.

Oven Roasting SUITS THAT WIN FAVOR IN PARIS Costumes With Long, Halt-Fitted Jacket and Slender Skirt in Front Rank. SIMPLE CLOTHES ARE LIKED Parisiennes Not Si@ves to Eygry Dell ious Creation That French Cow turieres May Put Out, Cor respondent Says. In Paris there is a marked prefere ence for extremely simple toilettes. In fact, writes a prominent fashion corres spondent, the tailored costume of el- most classic style is now tremendously fashionable with its long, half-fitted Jacket and slender skirt, the latter either plain or plajted. A costume of this type is more Specoomtative of the real Paris fasblons than anything Zou- ave, African, Czecho-Slovak or Egyp- tlan. The Parisienne, therefore, may rightly claim that not all women in France are extravagant nor are all of the Paris dressmakers producing ex+ treme effects, Fashions are often misrepresented, and through this misrepresentation one might gather that the taste of the present-day woman ts for clothes that are showy and extravagant, rather than those that are beautiful and simple. Many people, when views ing the new fashions, are inclined to talk of the things which are ex. treme and unusual, rather than those that are simple and refined, which latter the best-dressed women buy. ‘The women of Paris, even more than those of America, are misrepresented in this way, so that {t would appear that the Parisienne is a slave to every delirious creation that the French couturiere may put out. A mannequin at the races wearing some Dizarre costume will be Immediately proclaimed to the world as wearing the latest Paris fashion, when per- haps this dress s-the only one of Its kind seen during the whole season im tc Simplicity Sought After. What more simple and economical than the tallored suit or blue serge dress, both of which are now and have been for some time pre-eminent in Paris fashions? What more refined than the models which the leading dressmakers create for their own pri- vote customers? ‘That this sim- plieity Is greatly admired and much Bought, regardless of the publicity at- tached to the bizarre styles, 1s proved by the fact that certain houses in Paris who cater entirely to private trade are sought In a roundabout way by purchasers of models. One house in particular that has a great Paris following and which be- cause of this refuses to sell to manu- facturers or dressmakers, preferring to keep thelr models exclusive, can and do get from thelr private trade from 2,00) to 3,000 francs each for their simple silk crepe dresses made without one stitch of embroidery, lace or trimming of any character. Bven y Ky? ‘ Z TK a WPT) pa EL LOR ody Ay Re AiG eee \ i a ba , ef 7 One of the new fall sults developed in plain and plaid woolen, a combina. tion that is being emphasized in au- tumn collections. the hems are only hand-rolled, and the dresses, which are little more than slips with pendant cascading panels or handkerehlef points, are without ining, guimpe or understeeve, Some of these inodels have not even a hook. They slip on over the bead and @ sash ties around the walst. Yet for this simplicity and grace the dis- eriminating Parisienne wil! pay 50 per cent more than for a dress with trim ming, which lacks the cachet of stm- plicity, individuality and perfect ut. Tailored Suits With Fur. For the autump there are charm ing tailored suits in redingote style trimmed with fur bands. Sometimes these redingotes have plaited full ness let into the skirts. Simple fall Gresses also are being shown in both redingote and apron styles and new wraps are in perfectly simple outline. In dresses many variations of the Fedingote appear. ‘They may be made entirely of cloth and trimmed with braid or with a slip or underdress of KE Oy (_ = AWD oy Aa q] y » i) Dress of gray satin and dark biue vel- vet. The long mitten sleeves are of the satin embroidered in blue to match the velvet. satin and a long redingote of cloth. Many such frocks have high collars which button tightly about the throat and are faced with a contrasting cloth. Autumn skirts are somewhat longer than those worn during the spring and summer. A skirt with its hem ten inches from the ground is smart, yet not extreme. A redingote sult developed in green velveteen has a plaited skirt and the coat is trimmed with skunk fur. In this model we see the beauty and grace of the suit with a very long coat. In past seasons women have de glined to accept the long-coated suit, Saying that it had a tendency to make ‘one look older. ‘This, however, is not true of the really long coat. Nothing could be more girii#h than a suit such as this one, giving,*as It does, the ap pearance of a one-piece dress with an underskirt. Another example of the redingote type is evolved from brick-red broad- cloth material, and the trimming ts kolinsky fur. Ideal Dress for Street Wear. One of the newest and most popular biue-serge dresses Is very much like the redingote suits in outline. It gives the effect of a skirt and a very long coat, although it is really a one- plece dress, ‘The trimming consists of bands of tatlor’s braid of the same dark blue hue as the frock. It is an {deal dress for street wear in the au- tumn. Braid as a trimming has found con- siderable favor in this autumn’s fash- fons, Dressmakers are showing great originality in their methods of using this trimming. Not content with braid alone, they havg stitched it in silks of contrasting colors and applied It in ‘ways that give the effect of new and elaborate embroideries. Often the, braid is embroidered by hand. ‘The new square-hanging satin man- tle Is of the very heavy quality which 4s being used for street wear this fall, ‘The trimming Is moleskin, a fur which wit vie with squirrel in popularity this winter. Great stress is Iald on’ satin for wraps of all sorts, ‘The satin of 1920 ‘ts a striking example of the wonder ful progress that has been made tn the silk industry, One never would suspect It of being even a distant rela- tive of the stiff and lustrous satin of bygone days. In past years satin coats were-considered suitable for el- derly ladies only, while a wrap of today's satin is youthful, =” Lining silks are quite as handsome ¢ those from which the garments themselves are made, These are beau. tiful Chippendale prints and mikado Jacquards, both of which have radium backgrounds. ‘The Chippendale ts printed in muiticolors in Japanese, butterfly, leaf and #ower motifs, while the mikado jacquard is brocaded in conventional and floral designs In self- colors, A strong fancy is manifested at the present time for plaits arranged in groups of ten to twelve, with plain spaces of eaval size intervening. ‘There are dresses on which the trim- ming consists of Inserted plalted bands surrounding the skirt in rows. Many of the new printed silks sare worked up In this way. DADDYS EVENING 2 geignt AG ist, “We really have quite interesting ways,” said Mr. Indian Pied Horm bill in the z00 to Mr, Gray Struthides known as Gray Crow. “I know you have,” said Gray Crow, “or rather I have heard that you had, And now that you are a neighbor of mine It would give me great pleasure {f you would tell me something about yourself and about the ways of the hornbill.” Sl goa jell eof your wars too asked Mr. Hornbill. “I will,” sald Mr. Gray Crow, “with great pleasure. But you tell me your story first. I am eager to hear it Tell me how you live and of the strange ways you have. Not that they are strange to you of course, but oth er creatures’ ways are strange to others than themselves.” “That’s so,” said Mr. Hornbill, “That's so. Well, we come from the Himalayas—mountains you know." Gray Crow nodded his head. “We build our nest in a hollow tree. When Mrs. Hornbill begins te sit on the eggs I close the entrance of our home with clay leaving a nar row slit through which I always feed her. That makes it safer for her and for the eggs and I watch over her and see that she gets enough to eat and that the home is safe, “She never leaves the nest until the young can fly. She is a very good and devoted mother. Do you like us? We're pretty good-sized and our eyes are bulgy and our beaks enormous, FL im 4 | Vy i . “1 Think | Will Hop.” on We hop along our cage bar bending up and down in a most. ridiculous way. You see we try to be graceful and ‘move gracefully, and since we can't be so, we do foolish things. “{stead of moving quietly 90 folks wouldn't notice and see how un- graceful we are we bend up and down and backwards and forwards and try to be graceful though we know we can't be! We're rather ridiculous in that way and often people stop and laugh at us as they pass us by here in the zoo. Now you tell your story Gray Crow. I've told mine.” “And a good interesting tale It was.” said Gray Crow. “I was especially in- terested In how you and Mrs. Hornbill did when she was sitting upon the eggs. As for my story—it doesn't ‘amount to so much. T come from Bast Australia, We are very sociable and friendly and go about In great flocks. We like each other and mix about @ great deal. “We live along barren, or bare, ridges where we feed on seeds which we get out of pine cones. We are us ually told that we belong to the crow family, but no one seems to be quite sure of that, So we can't be quite sure ourselves. I’m called Gray Crow here as a name, they're not sure whether it is a right name and when there is such confusion about Ht It 1s hard for us to know! “We're just the same size as the crows, We're of a gray black color, Don't you like the way we all sit im ‘a row so very near together on the bar of our cage with our backs turned to the people. A number of people have laughed and chuckled to see us all huddled together, sitting side by side and everyone of us with our backs turned upon our visitors! “Now I think I will hop over the backs of my friends as I want to have a Uttle nap in yonder corner, It doesn't make any difference to the members of my family if 1 do hop over their backs, 1t doesn't make any dif- ference at all. But I thank you, Indian Pied Hornbill, for your story, ‘and am sorry that mine Is a bit ridte- ulous. “By the way do you see that speckled brown wood thrush? There is a lady in the 200 who is fond of birds and who Is looking at us and talking to the keeper and asking about us. ‘That speckled brown wood thrush wants to be known, He is out of his cage as the keeper says he fs so tame and he fs following the lady about wherever she goes. A “He's certain of being known, all right, all right. And they say that the Emeus and the ducks and the small birds, too, make sure that thelr little ones come to the zoo just the same fas they'd see that they came if they were free.

The ovation which you have received from the citizens of this proud metropolis is but an earnest of the vote you will receive on November 2d, when you will be elected president by the largest plurality ever given a presidential nominee. From no group of citizens will you receive a more unanimous vote than from those of color for whom The Monitor authoritatively speaks. Your words concerning our special group, who desiring to be known and treated only as American citizens, are unfortunately not so considered or treated, are enheartening. We have faith to believe that they are not idle words, but voice your sincere convictions and through your leadership may prove to be the convictions of the party whose standard bearer you are and to whom we have been uncompromisingly loyal and to which we look for the removal, in deed and fact, of certain discriminations which limit us in the exercise and enjoyment of our constitutional rights as American citizens. For this relief we are looking forward and consecrating our energies to encompass the return of the Republican party to power. Thousands of our group who/have been tempted to turn towards other organized political bodies have determined to stand by the Republican party with the belief that their hopes are not misplaced. Are they to be disappointed? The crucial time as touching our racial group and the Republican party is here. We are willing to trust it under your leadership. In the name of the colored citizens of Nebraska, Senator Harding, we bid you welcome to our great state and pledge you our support at the polls. We will not fail you now and we confidently count upon you and the party whose standard bearer you are, not to fail us in the testing time to come. Again, welcome. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL AND DEMOCRACY THE public schools should be our greatest agency for Americanization and democratization. If there be any place where democracy is to be promoted and encouraged it is in the public schools. Here children of the rich and of the poor, of foreign-born and native born parentage, are assembled together, taught to respect each other and imbibe principles which are to unify the nation. Any system which violates this ideal strikes a blow at the heart of that democracy for which America is supposed to ideally stand. And yet there are people so short-sighted as to aration that they are inferior, or be segregated into racial groups and taught by that very isolation and separation that they are inferior, or morally and intellectually unfit to associate with other groups, and not impair the ideals of democracy. The very thought is absurd. Isolation, segregation, separation breeds ignorance, suspicion, prejudice, classism, discontent. If we are to have democracy in America, it must be inculcated through the public schools, which must ignore racial groups and treat all children, whether of native or foreign-born parentage, of gentile or Jewish parentage, black or white, red, brown or yellow, as American children who are to be educated and --- NEWS STANDS: 2414 North 24th Street 2306 North 24th Street 2416 North 24th Street 1825 North 24th Street 2420 Lake Street 1320 North 24th Street 1303 North 24th Street 1904 North 24th Street 1318 Dodge Street 10th and Farnam Streets 15th and Farnam Streets 103 South 14th Street 111 South 14th Street 1918 Cuming Street 21st and Cuming Streets 4825 South 26th Street 4912 South 26th Street trained for the highest type of American citizenship. And this means instruction of these children in common in the same schools and by the same teachers, drawn impartially, according to their ability, character and fitness from all classes irrespective of race, color or religion. This is the standard to which the United States must come, if democracy is to prevail. And this is why in those enlightened and more advanced communities where these standards of common pupilage and teachership prevail any effort to lower these standards which make for democracy must be most stubbornly opposed. The American public school must be protected as the cradle of democracy. MONITOR SERVICE AND IDEALS THE MONITOR has attained an en- visible reputation among the weekly newspapers of the country. It is accounted one of the foremost of the influential publications devoted primarily to the interest of our group. Its editorial opinion on matters affecting us is eagerly sought and widely quoted. This gives The Monitor a sense of responsibility for the moulding of public sentiment which it keenly feels and highly appreciates. Its reputation for dependable news is one of the most valuable assets and its constantly increasing circulation has lead to its recognition as a valuable and business-getting advertising medium. The high literary character of The Monitor has elicited appreciated comment from contemporaries and readers which comment has served as an incentive to inspire those charged with its publication to do all within their power not only to sustain the high character but to improve it. This will continue to be our aim and ideal. We shall endeavor to make The Monitor the best publication of its class in the country. This, of course, can only be done as we continue to secure and maintain the support of our readers, concerning which we have no complaint to make. We are conscious that we have served our race, community and country well. This service we shall continue to render Grateful for the confidence and sup- NEILSONIA SKIN OINTMENT A 80-minute Instant Greaseless Bleach.

Our aim is always to render the highest and best service to all. We do not aim to be a vender of mere local social chit chat, but a real newspaper, publishing worthwhile news of a general character, showing racial progress everywhere and giving our readers a wider outlook, and by a sane, fearless and fair-minded editorial policy to instruct enlighten and mould a helpful and healthy public sentiment. OMAHA'S colored vote, male and female, by the most conservative estimate is 5,000. A large percentage of this vote is made up of our people who have recently come from the South where they were not permitted to vote. Naturally, then, many of them are timid or indifferent as to voting. This is a mistake. Every citizen owes to himself and to his country to vote, conscientiously and intelligently. This year of all years vital interests are at stake. A national administration is to be chosen. The election of a president, incredible though it may seem, may depend upon a single, obscure voter in Nebraska or some other state. The duty of voting is therefore plain. But to be able to vote, one must qualify by registering. Registration is of prime importance. Many of our people have not registered. Do not neglect this. Register and vote wour convictions. Vote for the party and the candidates which you honestly believe will be for the best interests of the country. Our advice is to vote for the national republican ticket, headed by Harding and Coolidge. But by all means register so you can vote. USE CAUTION IN HOME-BUYING MANY of the new comers to our are buying homes. This is well. But the scarcity of houses renders it easy for unscrrouplous persons to take advantage of would be purchasers and charge them exhibitant prices. We desire to advise home buyers to use due precaution to see that they are not being held up and robbed in their zeal for home buying. Buying homes is the proper things to do. It is to be encouraged. Our people are buying homes as never before. At the same time we have heard of cases where they have paid fabulous prices for the property involved. Use caution in home-buying. Take advice before closing bargains so that you may not be overcharged. Continue to buy homes; but use caution, business caution, in making the purchase. A THOUGHT FROM HENRY GEORGE HERE is something from that noteworthy volume of Henry George on "The Law of Human Progress," which we pass on to our readers for their thoughtful consideration. Here it is, think about it: "The law of human progress, what is it but the moral law? Just as social adjustments promote justice, just as they acknowledge the equality of right between man and man, just as they insure to each the perfect liberty which is bounded only by the liberty of every other, must civilization advance. Just as they fail in this, must advancing civilization come to a halt and recede." PEOPLE of good will are those who eventually triumph over every obstacle. Cultivate good will it will pay liberal dividends here and hereafter. 1910 Western Distributor E. A. WILLIAMSON 2306 North 24th St., Omaha Main Laboratory EUFU Research CO. 151 West 53d Street New York City REGISTRATION CULTIVATE GOODWILL ON A STREET CAR SUNDAY night we were coming from South Omaha. On the street car was a group of colored boys and girls. They were well dressed and well-behaved. They were, like all healthy young people, full of mischief and fun. But, here's the point: They were not noisy or boisterous; they did not talk so that everybody in the car could hear them; when they laughed, it was hearty but not loud. Their conduct was all that even the most fastidious could demand. We hope that the conduct of all our people on street cars and in public places will at all times be of such a nature as to elicit commendation and not criticism or rebuke. We owe it to ourselves and race at all times and in all places to be and conduct ourselves as ladies and gentlemen. Proverbs and Paragraphics FRET not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against their works of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. Psalms. Everybody has at his or her disposal 24 hours per day. By scientific calculation it has been found that the human body needs 8 hours per day for work, 8 hours for recreation and 8 hours for sleep, leaving no balance for attention to the other fellow's business. Wealth is not the real prize, it is only a trophy, a symbol and may carry with it no satisfaction unless it has been won fairly, honestly and honorably. How few are our real wants! And how easy it is to supply them! Our imaginary ones are boundless and insatiable. ' Who does the best his circumstances allows, does well, acts nobly: Angels could do no more. HAYSEED PHILOSOPHY "Say, Jack, did you wash yo' feet las' night?" "No; I took a baf." Both the inquirer and respondent were youthful members of the Race. Of course the incongruity in the positive inquiry and negative response was unobserved by both. What is a mere foot-wash compared with a bath? The very suggestion was nigh to an insult. That the latter included the former wasn't a matter even of after thought. And herein lies food for thought. The remark is typical. Incongruity is quite too prominent as a racial trait. The jewel of consistency is too often wanting. Too often in our eagerness for emphasis on that which is the more striking, we are unmindful of the fact that the bath includes the foot-wash. EXTRA COACHES USED TO BRING MIGRANTS NORTH (By The Associated Negro Press.)

Not only are the people going North, families of those who have gone before, but hundreds who have never before been North, also are going. ROSE BEAUTY CREAM That Peroxide Greaseless Cream.

He quoted statistics showing growth of local colored population from 4,000 ten years ago to nearly 15,000 today.

In a word, there are certain mannerisms associated with his playing which critics have on occasion mentioned with grave suspicion as evidences of sensationalism. Half fearing to insult him by asking whether he was sincere or whether the motions were "stage business" carefully rehearsed as had been implied. Many people having told me that I go through the same movements as my father in certain compositions that I play, I feel JOHN B. HARRIS Clarence Desdunes it my duty to answer this question, to the best of my knowledge through this worthy paper, The Monitor. No, I do not study up any "stage business" to help out in my playing and I am sure my father has not the time to study up any "stage business." I do not know whether I ought to compare myself to a dancer, but the appeal to the dance is in all musical movements. Certain rhythms and musical combinations affect me subconsciously. I suppose the direct influence of the music upon me is such that there is a sort of musical reflex. I move with the music in an unconscious translation of it into gesture. It is all individual. The French violinist, as a rule, play very correctly in public, keeping their eye on finger and bow and this appeals to me strongly in theory. In practice I seem to get away from it. It is a matter of temperament I presume. I am willing to believe I'm not graceful; but then, I do not know whether I move or do not move. Some of my friends have spoken of it to me at various times so I suppose I do move and sway and all the rest, but any movements of this sort will be unconscious for I know nothing of them. Every born musician has some mannerisms when playing, I imagine, yet more than mannerisms are needed to impress an American audience. Life and color in interpretation are the true secrets of great art and beauty of interpretation depends first of all on variety of color, technic is after all only secondary. No matter how well a composition may be played its performance must have color, romance, movement and life. Each emotional mood of the moment must be fully expressed, and if it is, the appeal is sure; and the idea that my father's movements and my own are "prepared" as stage effects is delightful. Next week, "Fundamentals of Technic." YOUR STATES SHOW SLACKENING GROWTH Illinois Gain Lowest in Census History. But State Confidently Expects To Retain Its Rank As Third In Union. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Four states the 1920 populations of which were announced today by the Census Bureau, showed gradual declines in their respective relative increases over preceding decades. Illinois has a population of 6,485,098 an increase of 846,507, or 15 per cent over 1910. The state is expected to retain its rank as the third most populous state, although its 1920 population shows the lowest relative increase in the state's history, falling short of the 1910 percentage increase by 1.9. Montana, with a population of 547,593, showed an increase of 171,540, or 45.6 per cent, over 1910. This was the state's largest numerical increase, but its percentage increase was the lowest, falling short of its previous lowest relative increase of 1910, but has passed New Hampshire in the 1920 rank. New Mexico's 1920 population was announced as 360,247, an increase of 32,946, or 10.1 per cent over 1910. The figures show the state to have made the lowest numeral increase since 1830 when the growth was 27,691, and the second lowest relative increase in its history. New Mexico ranked as the forty-fourth state in 1910, but passed Vermont in this census. Louisiana, with a population of 1,797,798, increased 141,410 or 8.5 per cent over 1910. The state showed both its smallest numerical and relative increase since 1870. Its 19p0 rank cannot be determined until other states which ranked directly above or beneath it in 1910 have been announced. DON'T fail to Register so that you may be able to vote.

COAL SITUATION GROWING SERIOUS Miners Demanding 2 per cent In- crease in Wages — Strike Threatened. a D. S. L. Clark of the Anderson Coa! Company, has just returned trom Pittsburgh where he has been at. tending the coal miners’ conference for the purpose of finding out the facts ‘concerning the common rumors of « coal shortage. He found that the workmen of all the mines are demanding a 25 per cent wage increase, This they must have or they will strike. In either event the consumers of coal will have ‘to pay. : ‘At present this coal firm is for- tunate in having a large supply on hand which, if the consumer pur- chases now, he can save. Get it at the regular price. Today the country has exactly 1,500,000 tons Jess coal out of the mines than at the same time last year. The strike 1 certain because the mine operators declare they will not grant the 1n- crease asked. It would pe the course of wisdom, therefore, to stock in coal while it can be had. MOTHER OF CHARLES DICKERSON VICTIM OF HEART FAILURE Mrs. Mary Ellen Dickerson died suddenly Tuesday night in the Haight- Adams Drug, Store at Twenty-fourth and Lake streets. Mrs. Dickerson’ was taking her cwo grandchildren, Lucy and Flizabeth Allen, to a party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Black. While on the Lake street car she complained of feeling ill, When the car reached Twenty-fourth street she was assisted off and taken intp the drug store where she expired. Her son, Charles W., reached the drug store just before she passed away. Mrs. Dickerson who was fifty-eight years old had not been in the best of health for the past two years, never having fully recovered from an at- tack of the “flu” which left her with a weakened heart and other complica- tions. She is survived by her sons, Charles W. and Hunley; a daughter Mrs. Robert Dewey Allen and seven grandchildren. TNTERPST TN RACIAL ART In my last letter to the public on racial consciousness, beauty and achievement of our people may not have been made clear. For that rea- son I am writing again, In the first place, consciousness means one knowing his or her own mind and governed by the dictates of hir or her own thought. Secondly, there must be some estab- Mshed fact by which one must think, and there is no way to establish these facts without Art and Literature upon the’ subject which we are most in- terested in. ‘Today we are more interested in establishing a racial confidence in a people who have been taught for two hundred yearg that there was no g007 thing come out of Africa, Now we must reach every woman and child with our pictures, calendars, post cards, colored dolls and statuetts, the most beautiful printing and work- aanship the world has ever known ‘The prices are low in order that none will be without them.

S. our natural charms, have come many unscrupulous manufacturers who have entered the field purposely to play upon what they believe to be human weakness and feminine vanity, and have placed upon the market preparations that have but little merit and that do far less than is superlatively claimed by their advertisements. In fact, very serious cases of skin eruptions, enlarged and distorted pores, discolored pigment and even bloodpoisoning have been known to result from the use of some of these worthless preparations. Often it has been too late to check the onrush of disease after having used this class of preparations. 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 beautiful complexion and only by selecting preparations of merit that one may hope to preserve that which nature has given us. In selecting preparations for the care and treatment of the skin and scalp, the utmost precaution should be taken and only such preparation should be selected as will bear chemical analysis and that have a reputation for quality and effectiveness. For fifteen years the Madam C. J. Walker Superfine Preparations for the hair and skin have stood the tests and most thorough examinations and enjoyed a reputation for high quality and effectiveness and these preparations can safely be recommended by men and women all over America and in 26 foreign 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 is 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.

Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor in chief of The Associated Negro Press, in his address dwelt at length on these facts, and gave concrete examples of two of the greatest dailies in the country that have adopted the policy with beneficial results.
