WOMEN SHOT ACCIDENTLY Secretary Daniels Makes Public the Report of Admiral Knapp, Who Was Officially Appointed to Investigate Charges of Ruthless Slaughter Among Natives STATEMENT GUARDED BUT SUSTAINS CHARGES Admits That Over 3,000 Persons Have Been Killed During American Occupation—Women Among Slain—Such Cases Accidental Not Intentional—Not Clear Concerning "Flogging, Strangulation and Sept" PART ONE $3.00 a Year. 10c a Copy WOM HAYT WOM ON State Historical Society Secretary Daniels Makes Public Who Was Officially Appoin Ruthless Slaughter Among N STATEMENT GUARDED B Admits That Over 3,000 Perso American Occupation—Wom Accidental Not Intentional— ging, Strangulation and Sept WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—The long death roll of Haytians incident to American occupation, approximately one out of every 400 inhabitants, included women, according to Rear Admiral H. S. Knapp, who was sent to the island to make an investigation by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. The Navy Department made public today a letter from Admiral Knapp, addressed to Charles McKinley of Portland, Ore., in which Mr. McKinley asked some pertinent questions concerning affairs in the distracted island. The fact that the reply of Admiral Knapp is made public by the Navy Department is regarded as indicating the department's belief that it is a defence of its activities there. In spite of the favorable nature of the Admiral's replies, admissions are made concerning the killing of women, although it is explained they were killed within the fighting lines. The admission is made with a vague suggestion that the report that women were killed might or might not be so. "There may have been cases of women being shot," Secretary Daniels' investigating report says, "during action when these women were in company of bandit bands, but such cases, if any occurred, were accidents incident to the campaign and were not the result of an intent and were in despite of every desire of the American troops engaged." The Admiral says he has heard of no cases of children being killed. Figures 3,000 Haytians Killed. This is the first public admission that women "may have been killed," and indicates the desperate manner in which the natives, men and women alike, resisted occupation of the island. The Admiral admits the casualities among Haytians, also making this admission with the accompaniment of some doubt, saying casually, "it is very possible that 3,000 Haytian men in all may have been killed," and SECRETARIES OF STATE AND NAVY CLASH OVER HAITI Colby and Daniels Attempt to Switch Blame Upon Each Other for Conditions Under Investigation on Island DANIELS PLACES BLAME ON STATE DEPARTMENT Contends That Marines Police Island as State Department's Agents—Navy's Self-Exculpation Not Accepted by Colby WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—A bitter controversy has arisen between the navy and state departments over the "indiscriminate killing" of natives in Haiti. Full responsibility for the autocratic rule by American marines in Haiti was placed directly on the state department by Secretary Daniels. In policing the island Mr. Daniels said the marines merely act as agents of that department. The state department admitted this, but maintained that it cannot be held responsible for individual acts of oppression by the marines. The administration's policy in Haiti is entirely in the hands of two state department officials — Arthur Bailly Blancha.d, the American minister, and Col. John McIlhenny, the financial adviser. Both are accused of oppression against the civil government in Haiti hardly less startling than the accusa- --- THE MONITOR adds the operations resulting in these large casualities were necessary in order to restore respect for life and property. Admiral Knapp says he is not prepared to answer fully the question whether "flogging, strangulation and sept" were practiced to obtain information from the natives, but says he has been unable to substantiate the reports and professes to be ignorant of what is meant by "sept." The Admiral's letter explains the "corvee" system, by which labor was forced to make roads, and savs it has been abolished. He admits the system was retained in "one or two remote regions" after the American occupation and after the system had been ordered discontinued. Enforced Labor Caused Trouble. It has been understood that continuation of the system was largely responsible for the disturbances in the Hinche-Missaide districts, where illegal killings are reported to have taken place. Answering the question whether it is true or not that the representative legislative system has been abandoned and whether it is true that no legislative assembly has been convened since 1916, the Admiral says the literal answer is "no." He qualified this by explaining that a congress was elected after the occupation but after meeting was prorogued by the Haytian president after the coup d'etat of June 19, 1917. Since that time no legislative body has met. The Constitution of 1918 provides that the election of the legislative body shall take place on January 10 of even numbered years. Under the provision of the same Constitution it is provided that a council of state shall exercise the legislative powers until a legislative body is elected. There can be no legislative elections until 1922. It is admitted that the United States seized the custom house before the convention of 1915 was in effect. Following complaints three weeks ago that he had cut off the salaries of the president and all other high officials in Haiti because they would not sign a contract giving virtual control of the island finances to an American banking concern, Colonel McIlhenny was ordered home to Washington to explain. Secretary Daniels announced that Brigadier General W. C. Neville will be substituted for Brigadier General John H. Pendleton in the court of inquiry that will investigate the charges of "indiscriminate killing" of natives in Haiti. Brigadier General Barnett arrived in Washington and conferred with Mr. Daniels regarding the inquiry. CANDIDATE FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION (By the Associated Negro Press.) LOUISVILLE. Ky., Oct. 28.—The Colored people of this city have launched the candidacy of Wilson Lovett for a place on the local Board of Education. His petition has been filed with fifty-seven more than the required number of names. It is proposed to "single shoot" the Colored vote for him and thereby make sure of his election. There is also considerable sentiment against the University of Louisville bond issue. It is very probable that the Colored vote will be against the issue.

No. 18 (Whole No. 278) --- PROMINENT PASTOR TAKES UP LARGER WORK Enters General Missionary Field for the State of Nebraska—His Pastor- ate Marked With Signal Success The Rev. M. H. Wilkinson, pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist church, Twenty-fourth and Ohio, has been elected by the executive board of the Negro Baptist Association of Nebraska and the State Baptist convention (white) to serve in the capacity of superintendent of missions over the Baptist churches in the state. This new field furnishes him with a very much larger work and a correspondingly larger responsibility. There are twelve churches of this faith in his new jurisdiction representing about 2,500 members. The Rev. Manasseh Herr Wilkinson was born in Jamaica, British West Indies, December 24, 1879, and received his early training in Callabar college on that island. He then taught Rev. M. H. Wilkinson school in Jamaica and Panama for several years, coming to America in 1905. He was the first Negro naturalized in Douglas county. He received his theological training at the Department of Theology of Lincoln university, Chester, Pa., having graduated with the degree of S. T. B. in 1909. He came to Omaha and took up the pastorate of Mt. Moriah Baptist church, which was located at Twenty-sixth and Seward streets, the building now occupied by the Seward Street Presbyterian church. During the time of his pastorate the church has made remarkable advances. He found a membership of 65 with a debt of $1,000. The mortgage on the church was burned over two years ago. The membership has increased to nearly 400. They sold the old church for $3,500 and bought their new site at Twenty-fourth and Ohio streets for $8,500. They owe now only $3,500. They have on deposit in the bank $1,242.00. The church is located on one of the most beautiful corners in the city and speaks well for the retiring pastor. He leaves for his new position November 7. The congregation of Mt. Moriah regret very much to have him go. GOVERNOR APPOINTS STATE COMMISSION (By the Associated Negro Press.) JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct. 28—Governor Gardner has appointed A. C.

EIGHT PAGES EUROPEAN FINANCIERS HAVE EYES ON LIBERIA Efforts Are Being Made, It is Seriously Alleged, to Interest Strong Financial Groups in Valuable Concessions in African Republic AMERICAN ENTERPRISES WOULD BE CURTAILED Commercial Bulletin Charges Americans With Callousness and Political Cynicism—Evidently Strikes at Officials LONDON, Oct. 28.—An effort to interest some great European financial groups in valuable concessions in Liberia is now being made here, according to information the World correspondent obtained in financial quarters here. If these plans crystallize it is believed here that these interests will have secured a position calculated to seriously curtail American enterprises in Liberia. The United States government has been aware for some time of the efforts being made by British and other foreign interests to extend greatly their holdings in the African republic, over which the United States has exercised a moral sponsorship. In the African World recently there have been published quotations from the Commercial Bulletin of Monrovia (capital of Liberia) which severely criticize the United States. The African World says: "The Commercial Bulletin charges the Americans with callousness and political cynicism. Does this description apply solely to certain American officials who recently have caused so much unpleasantness and unnecessary annoyance in Monrovia? If so, the remedy lies with Washington. There is a strong element for an independent Liberia. Will President King deal with the situation." State Department Unaware of Liberian Discontent Officials of the state department at Washington have announced that no information has been received here of the presence in London of Liberians seeking to interest European financial groups in concessions in that country. It is also stated that no advices have reached the department of the report that American officials in Monrovia have antagonized Liberians and that as a result an effort is being made to induce European competition against American interests.

A bit of rare good fortune had come Ned Burton's way. His father's farm run down to the river and at the little inlet one morning Ned came across an old house boat. It lay in shallow water, the hold had been staved in, but its cabin was intact, although the deck had been stripped of everything of value. "It has been abandoned," Ned told his sister Arline, "and it's ours, isn't it? I have a famous idea. I'm going to get our crowd of boys to haul it clear ashore, prop it up, paint and repair it and we'll use it as a sort of river club house." The young friends of Ned Burton entered with a vim and spirit into the project. Within a few days they had the old craft hauled free of the water line and set solidly on the sandy soil. It was a pretty spot, lined with trees and bushes, and for two weeks there was constant work on the interior of the cabin. Arline assisted in this. She welded a paint brush quite as effectively as her brother and pieced some old carpeting in the home garret to make a rug for the cabin floor. She coaxed some old pieces of broken furniture from her mother, looped some curtains at the windows and felt almost as much interested in this shore palace as Ned himself. Arline came into the cabin one afternoon to find Ned seated at its table with the parts of a hanging lamp before him. It had been a gorgeous article in its primitive perfectness. It had a globe with dangling crystals, pulled up and down on a chain, and puffeys, and promised to become the principal ornament of the now cozy and neat appearing cabin. "Why, where did you get it, Ned?" she questioned in wonderment. "Pushed way back in that cubby hole behind the closet," explained Ned. "The chain is broken and the globe has a piece out of it. It's a famous lamp and holds lots of oil. I'll bet it makes a great light," and he rubbed briskly at the tarnished metal. "Say, it reminds me of Aladdin's lamp. Maybe this is going to mend all our bad luck." They had known bad luck, or called it that, in the past. Crops had been poor, an uninsured barn on the home place had burned down with some farm machinery it contained, and Ned had to stay away from school to help out. There were no parties or village festivities for charming Arline that year, but she cheerfully did her share of the work and hoped for better times. The lamp was set in place, everything ready for a celebration of the event arranged, and Arline was alone in the cabin tidying it up for the expected guests who were to arrive in an hour. Ned had gone after them. Her work completed. Arline sat looking over a portfolio that Ned had found in the woods the day previous. He had come across it under a tree where some one had camped, for there was evidence of this fact in scattered food and the ashes of a fire. Ned had brought the article to Arline, explaining all this. The portfolio was made of fine leather and was apparently costly, and there in gilt letters on its exterior the initials V. D. Inside were some 20 pencil sketches, and one of them was that of Arline standing at the well of the old home. She was pleased, yet mystified at this, and more so at several roughly penciled sketches in which the same face and figure were canvases." "The portfolio belongs to some artist on his summering jaunt," decided Arline. "He must have been near the house when I did not see him, and made that hurried sketch of me. Why has he been using it as a model for more ambitious pictures? Certainly I have no such beauty and grace as these exacting artists require for their canvases." Just at that moment, although she was unaware of it, some one was viewing her through the open cabin window, attributing to her indeed just those characteristics of perfection. She made a perfect picture for painter, poet or lover at that moment. The bright light fell across her fair golden hair, setting it all a glimmer with radiance, her unique environment served to brighten the effect of her daintiness and loveliness by contrast with her somewhat unusual surroundings. It was the eye of a painter that took all this in, that of Vane Darrell, and he revealed in the fascinating element of the scene. She was his girl of the well whom he had sketched from a covert near the house a week agone in his casual summering stroll. The impression of that moment was lasting with him, and now, it was intensified with gladness as he recognized his sketch portfolio on the table before this charming young lady. A meeting was inevitable, and after a few words of explanation Darrrell was an invited guest for the occasion. In the cabin of the renovated boat house he had met her. There he wooed and won her. There, too, on an occasion when the happy Arline first wore her engagement ring. Ned laid it all to his treasured "Aladdin's Lamp." Much Milder. "Don't you think the outja board craze is passing?" "I never thought the interest was sufficiently dignified to be called a craze" said Miss Cayenne. "It was only a foolishness." PUZZLE TO SCIENCE Origin of This Race Hangs on the Tale of a Snail. Mystery of Migrations Stumps Hundred Experts Who Are in Quest of Polynesian Data. Honolulu, T. H.—If certain varieties of snails in the Hawaiian islands could talk, tell whence they started their migrations and how they traveled from one island to another in the Pacific, the world would be close to the solution of the origin of the Polynesian race, according to scientists attending the Pan-Pacific scientific congress in session here. Upward of a hundred of the most noted experts of most of the countries bordering the Pacific ocean have discussed the possible origin of the Polynesians during the sessions, and on one point they all agree—they don't know yet where the Polynesians originated. Having failed to pry any information out of the small, the scientists turned to the common or garden variety of chicken. This useful bird is believed to have been domesticated by the Polynesians about 1000 B. C. According to scientific data the chicken reached Egypt about 700 B. C. It is believed to have originated in southern Asia, but how did it get to Polynesia? Another impasse. Begonia seeds and those of about 700 other plants found in the Hawaiian group furnished a little more information than either the small or the chicken, according to the scientists Ocean currents are said to have brought them here. Equatorial currents flowing across Central America from the Atlantic are believed to have forced the Pacific currents westward, carrying driftwood and seeds. The process of transportation and germination appears to have been fairly lengthy, since it is estimated that perhaps one seed arrived from the American continent and bore fruit within the period of a million years. Grasshoppers furnished their quota to the discussion which terminated about where it had begun in the known facts that the Polynesian race came out of the unknown and, being a rapidly dying race, is fast passing to the uncharted shore where it was born. Eggs Proved Too Frail As Carriers of Whisky Eggs may be all right to ship whisky in, but the baggage smashers must handle such cases with care. At a station in West Virginia some of the eggs broke and a prohibition inspector found three cases of "doctored" eggs. Each egg had been carefully "blown" from the shell. After whisky had been poured in, the aperture had been sealed with cement. A.

NEW JUMP IN IMMIGRATION Increase of 20,000 in Week Laid to Typhus and War in Europe. Washington. D. C.—Immigration officials here profess to be mystified at the sudden increase in immigration which approximated 20,000 persons last week; and, it continued, would add 1,000,000 to the population of the country in a year. Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of the department of labor, said today no information has yet reached the department which will explain the situation. "But I have a theory about it," said Mr. Post. "I am inclined to think that many of these people are coming here to get away from conditions at home and that the condition is only temporary. Only last week a ship was held up at quarantine with typhus aboard, and the war is not yet over in Europe. Either one of these conditions would naturally make a lot of people anxious to get away." THE MONITOR The Strange Guest "Come home," wrote Walter Dunn's truly loving wife. "We miss you. Never mind as to your failure in bettering things—they are good enough as they are, as long as we are together." "Dear little woman!" enthused the recipient of the letter and his heart warmed and home, poor as it was, seemed a fine beckoning haven at that moment. Hard as Nellie and he had worked on the little ten-acre patch of ground at the limits of Weston, they wound up at the end of every year in debt. They had enough to eat and that was about all. There were two little children, however. Father and mother did not mind wearing old mended clothes, but they deplored their inability to dress their children as those of their neighbors were attired. "If we only had a little capital to invest in fertilizers and the machinery to do real farming, I wouldn't call the king my brother." Walter had asserted strenuously. "Why, the old stumps and rocks rooted out and a year given to preparing the land for real cultivation, and I'd show you results." But they never yet had the money or the time to carry out Walter's plan. It was certainly practicable, for others with money had made grand successes. So, burdened with debt and the prospect ahead more forlorn and unpromising than ever, Walter had held a serious consultation with Nellie. "I know no trade," he confessed. "The city is probably crowded with just such unsuccessful and disappointed fellows as myself, but it must offer some opportunities to a willing man." He had come to Alton, a thriving little city, to try his luck. Three weeks' earnest effort to secure work went for practically nothing. He grew homescick for the wife and the little ones. He wrote so to Nellie. The answer to his letter decided him. He spent two hours at dusk strolling about the streets thinking it all over and decided to start back for home the next morning. There came a slight sprinkle of rain and, as he wore his best suit of clothing, Walter stepped back into the entrance of a broad doorway just above a fashionable restaurant. "Supper rooms upstairs," he read on an illuminating globe and it made him think of home, for his provender for the day had been light. He had but two dollars in his pocket and was saving of that, for it would take him only two-thirds of the way home. As Walter stood under shelter a middle-aged man, opulence prevailing in dress, manner and ornament, came down the stairs, glanced along the street, then into the lower restaurant and then chanced to take Walter within his vision. He wore a light overcoat of peculiar pattern and this he removed as he re-entered the archway, half halted, studied Walter closely and then approached him. "Young man," he spoke, "have you the time and inclination to partake of a very princely supper?" "Why," replied Walter, smiling at the oddity of the circumstance, "I scarcely understand you." "Very well. Some friends are gathered for a little banquet: others expected have not arrived. We are just thirteen as it is, and the superstitious ones won't sit down until we have filled the fourteenth chair." "I shall be glad to be at your service," said Walter simply, and a few minutes later found himself one of a party of men who suggested refinement and wealth. He who had invited him spoke an occasional word to him, but Walter did not intrude upon the general conversation. "Such a meal!" he told Nellie afterward, and said it to himself. For two hours, as a truly hungry man, Walter revealed at a table of luxury and plenty. He thanked the man who had invited him when the repast was over and came down to the street alone like a man in a dream. He started at once for his boarding house. Half way down the block, just ahead of him, a man acting suspiciously stepped from a dark alley. The coat he wore at once attracted the attention of Walter. It was the one he had noticed on his recent friendly host. In a flash Walter decided that the lurker had stolen the garment and had slipped out the rear way with it. "Just a minute," my friend," he spoke, hurrying to the man and seizing him by the collar. "Stolen property, eh?" But the slick theft evaded detention by slipping out of the garment and dashing away. Walter returned to the banquet room to tell his story. The owner of the coat excitedly rummaged the garment, revealing a large package of papers. "My friend, you have done me a vast service. That package holds over ten thousand dollars in negotiable bonds. What can I do for you to repay your diligence and honesty?" "I need a little money to pay part of my way home to my wife and children," replied Walter frankly. "Wife and children? That sounds interesting to a lonely old bachelor. Come, sit down and tell me about it." And because he of opulence was whole-hearted and sympathetic, and because Walter told the truth in his simple story, when he left the city Walter carried with him sufficient to carry out all his cherished farming plans, with his new friend an interested friend for life.

He further stated that he was an advocate of higher education in all vocations of life; that education and wisdom were pre-eminently necessary to gain and maintain a position in the world. Knowledge, he said, is necessary to measure up, even in a financial way. He also pointed out the fact that although we were handicapped in some respects, we had an equal opportunity with that of any one. He further urged the discussion and reports on face questions in the literary, as conducive to fitting one's self for high work, and as the means of understanding the outlook better. He also pointed out the necessity of making the most of our opportunity for education and training, in order that we may be really competent in anything which we may undertake to do. Messrs. F.

Washington, Oct. 14.—American industry finds little solace in the occupational tables of 1920 immigration. Skilled labor and the professional ranks were increased by the migratory tide. But common, unskilled labor, the scarcity of which has given industry one of its hardest pinches and has helped send up the cost of living, was drained of 100,000 workers. In the fiscal year, ended last June 30, more craftsmen entered America than departed. The same was true of doctors, editors, ministers, engineers, teachers, actors and other professional occupations. But in front of unskilled labor, which is at the bottom of employment for all other groups, was hung a large minus sign. This is how it ranks.

A shortage of at least 3,000,000 in common labor, which is a basic factor in industry, is estimated by careful observers as the result of suspended immigration alone during the war years. On top of this the movement of common labor for the last three years has been outward. In 1918, 14,659 were admitted and 24,590 departed. In 1919, 18,251 came in and 74,114 went out. Adding the figures for the year finished June 30, 114,642 alien laborers arrived in three years and 292,524 went back, a loss to the unskilled labor market of 178,000. This is exclusive of farm labor, which registered an increase, due to the importation of hands from Mexico for employment in the border states. In the present tide, which has been swirling at Ellis Island since May, a larger percentage of unskilled labor is found among the arriving aliens. But as females constitute 40 per cent of the incoming aliens and males form 75 per cent of the outgoing, it will require a long time to take up the common labor slack at the present rate. Invention of labor-saving devices will undoubtedly tighten some of the slack, but some employment experts think that despite an immigration which is losing at a prodigious rate the common labor problem will become more and more pressing the faster the industries work up toward capacity stride. One thing they say is that the literacy test, instead of keeping undesirables out of the country—most of the long-haired distrubers speak and read two or three languages—is barring out many willing workers who are industrious although illiterate.

Short 3,000,000 Laborers Increase 1,575 a Week The statisticians of the interracial council after examining the figures for nine recent weeks, estimate that the net increase of male aliens is now running at the rate of 1,575 a week or about 80,000 a year. Even if this figure were doubled or trebled, it would require years and years to replenish the common labor supply to a point where it will be fully ample once the industries begin hitting up a real pace again.

At that time the west was an uncultivated prairie. The railroads, telegraphs and telephones had not arrived. Communication and supplies came by steamboat up the Missouri river. The next year he came from Omaha J. H. H. by boat to Plattsmouth, carried his trunk on his back to Ashland, where he took the stage coach to Lincoln. For two years he cooked at the Peoria House, Ninth and P streets, the present location of the Journal building. Five years after emancipation he had accumulated enough money to buy five acres on South Fourteenth street which was his home at his death. In 1871 he struck out on the old Oregon trail with a grubstake and team. He stopped in York county near York where he took up an eighty-acre home-stead. Frequently during the succeeding five years required as residence Who Is You Nebraska is an agriculture people are either directly or culture.

Nebraska is an agricultural state. More than half our people are either directly or indirectly engaged in agriculture. Surely the Governor of Nebraska should be in whole-hearted sympathy with this industry. Shall we vote for Mr. Wray, a lawyer, who promises to establish a Department of Labor? Or shall we vote for Governor McKelvie who HAS established a Department of Agriculture, as well as a Department of Labor and a Bureau of Banking? In the two years that Samuel R. McKelvie has been Governor, he has fulfilled every pledge that he gave to the people before his election. He has proved himself worthy of the confidence that the people of Nebraska repose in him when they elected him Governor. In answer to every "promise" that other candidates are now making, Governor McKelvie can, point to what he has already done.

Succeeding years of indefatigable labor under typical western conditions brought ample returns and in the year of 1875 after he had proved up on his homestead, he built a home on his Lincoln property and married his wife who survives him. As the colored population in Lincoln increased, Mr. Johnson's intercession with the then governor of the state resulted in the conveyance of a parcel of state land upon which was built the first colored church of Lincoln. He was the head of the committee that solicited and distributed provisions and built barracks for the refugees of the first colored exodus from the south in the late seventies. He was one of the founders of the first colored Masonic grand lodge of Nebraska and its first deputy grand master, the emblems of which he possessed at his death. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson reared and educated their children in Nebraska. Mr. Johnson is survived by a loving wife, Mrs. Laura Johnson; two sons Fred A. and Will N. Johnson; a daughter, Mrs. Lulu M. Jones; a nephew, W. A. Johnson, and a sister-in-law, Maggie Johnson, and her son John. Jackson Johnson was an honorary member of Lebanon lodge No. 3, A. F. & A. M. THE ROUND TABLE The scribe feels just a little oddly in his new surroundings, missing the little "Review." it having become linked with the greater "Monitor." However, we anticipate years of prosperity and development coming from this merger. The Negro press is becoming more and more a greater factor in moulding public sentiment and causing public servants also to note the growth of a group along social political and economic lines. Aside from these thoughts, we are noting the development of a race consciousness that means much in our growth. Let the good work go on. I resume the matter of the legitimacy of "Prince Hall" Masonry. We also refer again to the writings of the late William H. Upton, a Past Grand Master of the white grand lodge of the state of Washington, in his book "Negro Masonry." He continues as follows: "Let me bring these long Your Choice? real state.

Chicago THE MONITOR digressions to an end by a thought well expressed by another. When the chief aim of New England brethren was to show their: Masonry more ancient than that of Pennsylvania, they wrote of naught but the St. John's Grand Lodge, originating with Henry Price in 1733. But when it became necessary to exclude African Lodge by showing a 'Single Grand Lodge' with 'exclusive territorial jurisdiction' it became convenient to put Henry Price and his forty lodges out of sight; and to claim for the present Grand Lodge, formed when Prince Hall had been a Mason seventeen years, identity with a body of schismatics whom Henry Price and Prince Hall had been taught by their book of constitutions, not to countenance but to treat as rebels." There does not seem to be any record to the effect that the two Grand Lodges referred to ever protested against the establishment of African Lodge at that time. A footnote on the same page (64) reads as follows: "I am indebted to W. Bro. Frederick S. Monroe of New Bedford, Mass. Committee on Correspondence of Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and one of the best informe and most accurate Masons in New England, for the suggestion—apparently fully borne out by the printed recoords, "Proceedings in Masonry," of the Massachusetts Grand Lodge—that the other lodges also, which are assumed to have been represented at the organization of that Grand Lodge. Tyrian Lodge of Gloucester, Mass., and St. Peters Lodge of Newburgport held aloof from the new Grand Lodge for many years, and neither recognized its authority, nor sent representatives to its communications. During these years it would appear to have been a Grand Lodge without a single constituent lodge, except those of its own creation." Excellent example of dual territorial jurisdiction, which the white American Grand Lodges are those of the Grand Lodges of the "Ancients" and "Modernes" in England; the existence for many years, of two governing bodies in Scotland; the maintenance of lodges in Canada and Australia; although the territories have grand lodges located therein. The latest publications regarding Negro Masonry is the work of George W. Crawford, chairman of the committee on foreign correspondence for the Prince Hall Craft of the state of Connecticut, and is styled "Prince Hall Craft and His Followers." I shall pursue a further investigation of the growth of Masonry above any pioneer o: prejudice. We shall meet again as we advance toward the light. ELECTION RESULTS DOUBTFUL IN KENTUCKY Demos Fear Negro Vote—Make Desperate Effort to Stem Republican Tide—Raise Race Issue. (Special to The Monitor.) Louisville, Ky., Oct. 20.—In an effort to stem the tide of the colored votes toward the republican party in the Blue Grass state, the democrats are raising the spectre of Negro equality and domination. The demos appreciate the great defection to Harding in this state by the voters of both races on account of the league of nations issue and are making this last trench appeal in their attempt to prejudice the minds of the southerners in this section. The Cox backers claim that they will carry Kentucky with hands down, unless the republicans swamp them with cash, while the republicans are equally as sure of carrying it unless the demos succeed in stigmatizing the minds of the electorate with the race issue. In addition to all the signs of an amazing growth of republicanism in this state, it was apparent that the democratic party was shot through with dissension over the league of nations and with dissatisfaction with the Wilson administration. Suddenly the Negro equality talk bobbed up in central and western Kentucky. Democratic orators began assuring their audiences they had proof that the republicans were bent on establishing mixed schools of Negroes and whites, abolishing "Jim Crow" restrictions on passenger cars, admitting Negroes to theaters and restaurants and otherwise creating race equality. For proof the democratic orators alleged that the race equality proposals had been put forth by a Negro journal published in Ohio, which is supporting Harding. They also pointed to the fact that a republican Negro had announced his candidacy for member of the Louisville board of education and dilated upon the prodigious activity of the republican organization in restoring Negro women to vote. The republicans are viewing with satisfaction their possession of the most important election machinery by virtue of the fact that the state administration is republican. They say it means an honest count of the vote. The democratic leaders say it means the republicans will count Harding in, if the result is close. (By Associated Negro Press) NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 28.-Miss Merle Stokes has returned to the city and will resume her work among the young colored women of the Young Women's Fellowship association. Miss Stokes is working under the auspices of the Federation of Churches and is highly regarded by the leaders of religious activities in the city. FARMER-LABOR PARTY RUN WOMAN FOR CONGRESS (By Associated Negro Press) HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 28.—The Farmer-Labor party of this congressional district has nominated Mrs. Mary Seymore, a Negro woman, for representative in congress. Mrs. Seymore claims to be a full-blooded Negro and is declared to be, by all the citizens of Hartford, one of the ablest women in this section of the state. She is making a vigorous effort to be elected and is making impressive talks for the working class. LIVE STOCK CONTEST (By Associated Negro Press) RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 28.—One of the chief features of the Negro State Fair, which was opened in this city on the 23d of October, was a live stock contest. This was the first of its kind ever held in the south. The contest was promoted by Roy H. Thomas, state supervisor of agricultural education, and proved to be a big success. Good Work Never Lost.

Are Bringing Results (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The following statement on Haiti has been issued by the N. A. A. C. P.: "With the appointment of a naval board of investigation, consisting of Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, J. H. Oliver, U. S. N., and Brigadier General J. H. Pendleton, to investigate the invasion of Haiti, the charges made by the acting secretary of the association, Mr. James Weldon Johnson, and by Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann, both writing in the Nation, have begun to achieve results. "The association is gratified to announce that its charge that more than 3,000 Haitians were slaughtered by U. S. marines has been verified by the report of Brigadier General Barnett, former commandant of the marine corps who not only placed the number of these killed at about 3,250, but referred in his report to the 'indiscriminate killings' which had taken place. When the national association originally made this charge, the secretary of the navy belittled it. "After the publication of the Barnett report we wired Senator Harding requesting him to reiterate the charges with all the strength at his command and calling to his attention the substantiation of our charges in the Barnett report. "Senator Harding immediately called upon Secretary Daniels for publication of all information in possession of the navy department relating to its administration of the Haitian republic. "On the following day Secretary Daniels announced the appointment of the naval board of inquiry."

Broiled Peck Tenderloin—Split the tenderloin in two and broil under the gas flame or over coals. Have the heat intense at first and sear the meat on both sides to hold the juices. Reduce the heat and when the meat is puffed and nicely brown remove to a hot platter. Season with salt, pepper and bits of butter. Stuffed Pork Tenderloin. — Select medium-sized tenderloins, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in cold water. Split the meat lengthwise, making a slight incision with a sharp knife, then pulling the muscle until it is almost split in two. Make a dressing of bread, salt, pepper, summer savory, onion juice, and molsten with water. Spread the dressing on the split side of the meat, remembering that it swells with cooking. Place a second tenderloin over the dressing. Sew the edges together with coarse thread. Place in a buttered pan with a cupful of hot water. Bake in a moderately hot oven for three-quarters of an hour, lowering the heat after the first twenty minutes. Put a few bits of butter in the pan and hasten frequently. One tenderloin may be used for a small family. Pork Tenderloin French Style Wipe the tenderloin carefully and with a sharp knife cut into slices about an inch thick across the tenderloin. Round the pointed ends of each and pound each piece to flatten it. Season with salt, pepper and roll in flour. Have ready smoking hot fat. Drop in the meat and turn at once in order to form a crust on both sides. Continue cooking at a lower temperature and cook for twenty minutes. Pour off the fat, except two tablespoonfuls. Add three tablespoonfuls of flour and a little salt. As soon as the flour is a golden brown, add milk and stir vigorously to keep the gravy smooth. Add milk until the gravy is a trifle thick. Season to taste and pour around the meat. 2 PUBLIC OPPOSES GOV'T OPERATION Canvass of 5,184 Editors Shows 4,466 Communities Against Socialistic Experiment.

The 82 per cent opposition of the North- west, including Towa, Minnesota, Mon- tana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, and the 83 per cent veto of the Far West group, in- eluding Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Colo- rado, Utah and Washington, are sig- nificant of the prevailing conservative sentiment on this question even in the more radical sections. Judgment Apparently Unbiased, The questionnaire closes with a re- quest fr the editor's personal opin- fon on certain concrete cases as fol- lows: “Do you personalty believe that the Federal Government should own and operate competitive industries to pro- vide: (a) Fertilizer? (b) Clothing? (e) Automobiles? (d) Farm imple ments? (@) Foodstuffs? Substantially all the editors who gave estimates of their readers’ opin- fons also expressed their own by re- plying to this last question, Proof of considerable effort to avoid personal bias is found in the fact that in many cases the editor differed from the opinion he credited to his community. The percentage of “nos” ran: (a) 16; (b) 88; (c) 86; (a) 82; (e) 79. While the questions were based on general principles involved in the Government participating in competi- tive business, the so-called Muscle Shoals Bill now before Congress was used us a concrete example of a Gov- ernment operation scheme. Under this bill a Government-owned corporation ‘would be given broad powers to oper- ate and develop Government plants ‘and properties. It would produce at Muscle Shoals various fertilizer prod- ‘nets and sell them in competition with producers and joerchants in the fer- tilizer business, ‘Tho sivength of the opposition te Government operation is indicated by the replies trom Alabama, where the Museie Shouls war plant is and where, ‘of course, there is* intense Interest ‘and local pride in getting its expected peacetime operation under way at the from that state replied, of whom 38 : ‘ooposed to <Government opera- J 8 in favor ana 4 doubtful, a a Pastel Shades for Warm Weath- er—Pale Green Coolest. Colors Play Most Important Part In Milady’s Comfort on Hot Mid- summer Days. Though tt is rather maddening to be told how cool we look on a hot summer day, when we are feeling quite the opposite, after the first in- dignation has worn off the remark is apt to have a psychological effect that actually mukes us feel cooler, points out a fashion correspondent. And, after all, it is a very big com- pliment to be told that we look cool When the weather makes such an ap- Pearance almost impossible, for what is less attractive than any one who is obviously hot? Cool colors ahd coo! fabrics go a long way toward making a cool sum- mer. This is evidenced by the usual custom of dressing our rooms in thelr summer clothes if we are to inhabit them during the warm weather.

ATTIRE FOR GIRL WHO HIKES Knickers, With Long Coat, Low-Heeled Shoes, Tam, Long Cane, Among Requisites. Bathing ts far from betng the only or even the most popular summer sport. Walking—espectally for the de- votee of the mountins—has a great many passionate followers. ‘There are sirls who are really not the least little bit afraid of a ten-mile stroll in the forenoon. Of course, to thoroughly enjoy walking one must be dressed accord- Ingly. No long or tight skirt. no high heels, these would spol! this healthy pleasure.

FAIRY QUEEN'S RIDE. "We're going to have a flower automobile," said Fairy Yab, the one who had charge of the Fairies' orchestra, "and we're going to take you for a ride tonight, Fairy Queen." "Ah, how wonderful," said the Fairy Queen. "But can all of us crowd into one automobile?" For the Fairy Queen was always thinking of everyone else. "Yes, Fairy Queen, we have thought of that, for we knew it would be the first thing you would say," answered Ybab. "We have planned," she went on, "to have many flower automobiles and we will start out in the evening and go along roads which are deserted and where we will not bump into people. "In all the automobile fairies will ride and at the head of the procession will be the Fairies' orchestra for I will see that we have music throughout the evening. Some of the katylds and the crickets have promised to come along with us all of the way and they will sing. "As soon as the sun sends out his fairies who will appear after he has gone to bed dressed first in the glowing rose and red and orange dresses they own and afterwards changing into purple and gray cloud-like dresses—then you will know that it is time for the ride to begin. "As we start off the grasshoppers have promised to send us off with one of their best songs and they will hop and jump and wish us a pleasant ride. But I mustn't tell you all of the secrets," Fairy Yabla laughed. "They will all come in time—though most of them you know," she smiled. "And all of the fairies will be along for all of the flower automobiles are coming from the Fairies' garage which is run by Mr. Gnome and Mr. Brownie, two of the best little creatures of their fine families. Be ready, won't you, dear Fairy Queen." "Indeed I will be ready," said the Fairy Queen, "and this is a glorious treat for me for I have never been on such a ride before." The time came and all the automobiles were lined along an out-of-the-way country road. They were covered with flowers, all of the summer wild flowers could be seen on some part of every automobile and how lovely they did look. Just as the fairies were getting into the automobiles the grasshoppers came hopping and jumping out and shouted: While we hop about and jump about we wish to say to you That though we're only grasshoppers we love you, yes we do! we love you, yes we do! It's fine to see the fairies a-starting for a ride. And it's beautiful the flowers to see decorating every side. So may you have a fine time, a very fine time indeed. With the fairies' music playing in the auto which takes the lead. They all started off with the Fairies' orchestra in the first automobile playing and with the crickets and ka- PETER tydids singing, some of them singing "Kate Did, Kate Did," to change the usual song a little. They rode along and Nurse Fog bent down over the river and for a time partly hid old Mr. Moon. She wanted to wish the Fairies a pleasant ride. She left soon, though. The hills then all tooked very clear and the few cloud fairies were bright in the sky. There were some still wearing rose costumes, though most of them wore white which shone like diamonds. A train puffed along through the valley and the smoke curled up in the air and the sparks flew up, too, and they called out, "Hello, Fairies, you know we can be beautiful even if we do come from an old train which is pretty dingy." And the skunks, who were digging in some of the lawns they passed near a road which led to another more deserted one, looked up and said, "We're digging for grubs, but we can't help admiring you. You don't frighten us so we'll be most polite and not treat you as we would some." So they rode along through the beautiful night in the flower covered automobiles and when dawn came all of the dawn fairies danced the dance of the dawn in honor of the Fairy Queen. What Mexicans Raise "And now, Johnny," said the teacher, "can you tell me what is raised in Mexico?" "Aw, go on," replied the bright boy; "I know what you want me to say, but ma told me I shouldn't talk rough." Million Rubles Go for $25, but Meal Costs 60,000. Newspaper Correspondent Finds No Real Money and Little to Purchase in Sebastopol. Sebastopol, Crimea.—One million Don rubles were purchased for $25 here by a correspondent, but afterward he paid 60,000 rubles for a meal, 10,000 more for a short cab ride, and at the close of the day was a bankrupt millionaire. Crimea is in an unhappy condition. It has 24,000,000 of rubles, but no real money, and there is little to buy here. The harbor is filled with idle and disabled warships and merchantmen. There are no cargoes on the docks, street cars have been stopped because of the lack of coal, stores have no stocks and streets are deserted except for an occasional carriage, some wounded soldiers or armed patrolmen. The only life here is on the beaches at the park at the entrance to the harbor. There bathers, for the most part women and wounded officers and soldiers, pass the time when not reading bulletins from the various south Russian fronts at the official news bureau. These bulletins afford depressed Crimeans much encouragement. Most women here have no hats, but wear vells or kerchiefs about their heads. Many are without stockings, but are charming, nevertheless, in bright, inexpensive gowns which they dignify with erect and independent carriage, suggestive of American women. Six years of war have not broken the spirit of south Russian women. They "carry on" with the slight means at their disposal without complaint, and give whatever encouragement they can to men battling with bolshevskii along the Dnieper river and in the Don and Kuban territory. Sebastopol, with its idle dockyards and railways operated only for military purposes, has not, in spite of its 80,000 inhabitants, the dynamics of a city one-tenth its size. The old Russian naval base has lost all its brilliance, most of its warships are rusting at the docks and its industries are closed. The civilian population is awaiting resumption of export trade, which is necessary to the exchange situation and the restoration of normal trade conditions. Genuine Leap Year Bride Paid All the Expenses A real leap year bride, Miss Bessie M. Weeks, twenty years old, of White City, Kan., accompanied by her prospective husband, E. G. Davidson of the same place, applied to Judge T. G. Allen of Cottonwood Falls, Kan., for the marriage license. After Miss Weeks had paid for it she directed the judge to perform the ceremony, and again paid the bill. She said that as she had wooed and wooed the groom, she felt she should pay the bills for the ceremony and the wedding trip. WAR COST 40,000,000 PEOPLE Actual and Potential Loss in Population Estimated by Statisticians. Washington, D. C.—Due to war influences, ten European nations engaged in the world war show a potential loss in population of 35,320,000 persons since 1914, according to a statistical research conducted by the Society for Studying the Social Consequences of the War, which has its headquarters in Copenhagen. At the end of 1913, the society reported these nations had a population of 400,850,000, and under normal conditions this population should have increased by the middle of 1919 to 424,210,000. However, it had fallen by that time to 389,030,000, which led to the conclusion by Danish statisticians that the loss of actual and potential human life in these nations approximated 40,000,000. Causes of the abnormal falling off in population were attributed in the society's report as follows: Killed in war, 9,819,000; deaths due to augmentation of mortality, economic blockades and war epidemics, 5,301,000; fall in birth rate, due to mobilization of 56,000,000 men between 20 and 45 years of age, 20,200,000. STORK BUSY IN NEW YORK Birth Rate Shows Increase Despite High Cost—Decline in Death Rate. New York.—Despite the high cost of living, shortage of housing and the scarcity of domestic servants, the actual birth rate in New York city is going up at a rapid rate, according to health authorities' statistics issued here. The figures show that the birth rate per thousand for the first seven months of 1920 was 22.34, against the rate of 21.90 in the same period last year. The rate of infant mortality for the last year on each 1,000 births was 83, while he preceding years show a much higher figure on the records. The decline in the death rate is attributed to the laws of sanitation and healthful living, which are now better understood. THE MONITOR — Many a teacher finds it very difficult to teach staccato correctly, which may account for the fact that many pupils find it hard to learn. The main reason is that, in a sense, staccato is opposed to the nature of the violin as a singing instrument. To produce a true staccato and not a "scratchato," it is absolutely necessary, while exerting the proper pressure and movement, to keep the muscles loose. I have a simple method for quickly achieving the desired result in staccato bowing. First I teach the attack in the middle of the bow, without drawing the bow and as though pressing a button. I have pupils press up with the thumb and down with the first finger, with all muscles relaxed. This when done correctly produces a sudden sharp attack. Then I have the pupil place his bow in the middle, in position to draw a down stroke from the wrist, the bow hair being pressed and held against the string, a quick down bow follows with an immediate release of the string. Repeating the process, use the up stroke. The finished product is merely the combination of these two exercises—drawing and attacking simultaneously. I have never failed to give a good staccato by this exercise, which comprises the principle of all genuine staccato playing. Students should never be compelled to learn new bowing while they have to think of their fingers at the same time. We cannot serve two masters at once. I remember the day when I played my last lesson in Mazas Artist's studies. Miss Cleve looked at me for a moment when suddenly she broke silence and said: "I cannot give you credit for having talent as that is a gift, but I will give you credit for being able to work hard." Many people with great talent miss their chance here in America for lack of funds. At the Petrograd conservatory, poor students are received free talent; and I look forward to the time Mme.

SOUTH AFRICANS WOULD SECEDE FROM BRITAIN CAPETOWN, Union of South Africa, Oct. 28.—The free state nationalist congress has adopted resolutions proclaiming the sovereign will of the Union of South Africa, their right to self-determination, their right to secede from Great Britain or to break existing relations between them and Great Britain. The resolutions advised, however, that no decisive step regarding secession be taken unless a majority of the people express such a desire through a referendum. $1700 4721 Parker, 5 rooms and two lots, asking $200 down, balance in easy monthly payments.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $300 A VEAR; $1.50 6 MONTHS; $1.00 3 MONTHS Address, The Monitor, 204 Kaffir Block, Omaha, Neb, Bee CSS0H ley Me = Rye QW APPRECIATED CONFIDENCE | for the best interests of the count A LINCOLN friend and ardent ad- mirer of The Monitor said, “I have such absolute confidence in the editor of ‘The Monitor that if The Monitor should advise ‘Jump into the river,” I'd jump.” ‘After making due allowance for the extravagance of utterance to which admiration sometimes tempts one, there is a compliment in this unso- licited statement which fills us with pardonable pride and at the same time fills us with a sense of grave responsibility. It expresses a confi- dence which we appreciate. We value it because it is largely typical and representative of the confidence which The Monitor has enjoyed from its readers and the group for which it stands and of which it is the accrea- ited mouthpiece from the first day even until now. We lay no claim to infallibility. At times we may err in judgment. This, however, is abso- lutely true, we have never yet know- ingly, and God being our helper, we never will advocate any policy that we honestly believe to be detrimental to the best interest of our people. What we have believed to be the best we have fearlessly advocated; what we have considered to be detrimental to our people, the community, state or nation of which we are an integral part we have with equal candor, fear- lessly and openly opposed. Our hon- esty, integrity and sincerity of pur- pose has never been questioned by any whose opinions are worthy of consid- eration. Our judgment has been con- sidered sound. Criticism wherever and whenever offered has been ad- mitted to be just. These are valu- able assets which account for the ap- preciated confidence which the thou- sands to whom and for whom we speak have in The Monito:. We shall never knowingly or willingly betray this confidence. ‘That our readers have such confi- dence in The Monitor and look to us for counsel, advice and leadership fills us with a sense of grave responsibil- ity. For this reason we shall always strive to weigh well whatever we may say and shall only give such advice as we conscientiously believe to be to the best interest of all concerned. ‘We appreciate the confidence of our readers so extravagantly voiced by our Lincoln friend and shall always do our best to deserve it. TRAINING FOR BUSINESS A GOODLY number of our young people are availing themselves ‘of the opportunities offered by the night schools for studying shorthand, typewriting and bookl-eeping. We are glad to know this. There is an ever increasing demand for competent ste- nographers and typewriters in the va~ rious business enterprises that are being launched, fostered and built up by our race here and elsewhere. The difficulty of finding employment, no matter how proficient they might be, has deterred many from taking in- struction in these branches, But now that our own people are going into business for themselves and making opportunities of employment for the young men and women who prepare themselves here is an inviting field. What is demanded is thoroughness ‘and proficiency in this line and those who can meet these requirements may have no fear of finding employ- ‘ment. Qur people everywhere are awakening to the fact that we must enter earnestly and successfully into the business and commercial world to become @ recognized power, and in so ‘doing we are making places for well trained men and women of our race. DON'T SCATTER, CONCENTRATE ee issue before the country at this time is plain, It resolves itself into this: Do we want a demo- c-at or republican administration? Which do we want? It must be either ‘one or the other? No hla party counts at this time. The contest lies wholly and solely between the repub- licans and the democrats. Which party shall win depends upon how you vote next Tuesday. Please do not lose sight of this fact. From The Monitor’s viewpoint it is imperative 4 for the best interests of the country at large and for our own group in pacticular that a national republican administration should be elected. This as our readers will clearly understand includes not only the election of the president and vice-president but also a full congressional ticket. This is of tremendous importance. It is of such vital importance at this time that we should vote the republican ticket straight. We must take no chances. We must not seatter our fire, concen- trate it, WHERE GROSSMAN STANDS. Says Monitor desires to call the uttention of voters to the fact that John H. Grossman, who is a can- didate for the district bench on the non-partisan ballot, was a member of the judiciary committee some years ago when a bill providing for Jim Crowing colored people on street cars and railway trains in this state was introduced in the Nebraska legisla- ture. Judge Grossman assured a dele- gation from Omaha that the iniquitous bill would be killed in the committee and it was, largely, if not solely through Grossman's efforts. This shows where Grossman stands. The Monitor need hardly add that he is the kind of a man for whom we should vote. THE IUDICIARY. a ight much care cannot be used in electing judges. We want fair impartial and fearless men on the bench. The present judges seeking re-election, The Monitor believes, have tried to hold the scales of justice im- partially. The ablest of the present district bench is conceded to be Judge William A. Redick, He is fearless fair ond impartial. Judge Leslie ha: & good record, so has Judge Sears Judge Wakeley bears a good reputa- tion for fair-mindedness. Judge Troup has also given satisfaction, Judge Goss has been on the district bench but a short time having been appoint. ed to succeed Judge Day, elevated to the supreme bench.

Jefferis for con- gress, Of course, we are all going to vote for him, beeause we know him to be big in brain, heart and courage. He is the kind of a man Nebraska needs in Washington. We are going to keep him there. “HOW SHALL I VOTE?” ae is a question which many of ‘our people are asking. To help those who rely upon us in a measure for guidance, The Monitor publishes in this issue, its ticket on the chief of- fices, Please study this and it will be a guide. Owing to the importance of electing the national and state repub- lican ticket this year, it will be the safest plan for those who do not know how to “cut” their ticket to vote it straight. That is to say to make a mark in the circle on the ballot oppo- site the word “Republican.” This, of course, means that you will probably vote for some men whom you do not want, because fortunately in local matters we haye begun to learn to be independent and discriminating, but rather this than to have your ballot thrown out beeause it is improperly marked. If you know how to “cut” your ballot, that is another matter, but if you have any doubt about it play safe and vote the ticket straight. WHAT THE EDITORS SAY | Work of Democrats It is sometimes argued that the American white man of the southern states is not as prejudiced against Negroes or blacks of other countries as he is against the American Negro. We believe this Is granting him too much? If any one will go to the trouble to write the War Department for the names of the Americans now im charge of the occupation of Hait!, one will he convinced that the southern white man is rank in his prejudices against Negroes regardless of coun- try. The records show that three southern white men are practically in charge of the occupation of Haiti ‘The reports from Haiti show that these white men have driven the Haitians like slaves and dogs. James Welden Jotnson, a reliable source, tells us that the white Americans tn charge in Haiti have built a high- way with Haitian labor at the point ot the bayonet, We believe Johnson. Now these southern white men were placed over Haiti by the Democrats in power at Washington. Wilson 1s the man responsible for the present sla- very in Haitl Cox and Wilson are one on foreign policies, including Hal- ti, God deliver us from the Demo- crate for the sake of poor Haiti. ‘The American Negro who can vote owes ft to Haiti to drive the Demo- erats out of Washington and out of Haiti where southern prejudice has been planted and cultivated at the ex- pense of this government. ¥ : / 9, - Macon’s Cafe and Refresment Parlcr NOW OPEN Home Cooking.

Gee. | A Two Minute Sermon | Vuselfishness rings Reward "Twas famine time in Israel. A widow and her boy faced starvation. She had a handful of meal and a small eruxe of ofl. She gathered a few sticks to make a fire. Upon this she planned to bake a cake of the meal and oil for ber boy and herself. Eat- ing this they would calmly await death from starvation. The contemplated Jast meal is interrupted by an in- termedier, called a prophet. ‘The woman recognizes him as a religious teacher. He makes an apparently sel fish demand. It is that from her meagre store she make him a little cake thereof first. He makes an al- most incredible promise conditioned upon her compliance: Her supply of food will prove sufficient until the famine is over. Incredible! Yet she believes and complies. The result is as promised. Her supply of food does not fail. It is a divine law that he who is willing to share with others in need of what he has is enriched and not impoverished by his unselfish deed.

DAVIS LICAN and Clean Government FOR Fitzgerald OR t Judge ```markdown ``` FOR VOTE FOR FOR THE MONITOR N. Y. TRIBUNE PROTESTS AGAINST SUBJUGATION OF HAYTI AND SANTO DOMINGO Senator Harding is quite right. Our rule in Hayti and Santo Domingo cannot be justified. The administration has completely subjugated these two republics. It rules supreme within their borders. It withholds the salaries of their presidents' and other officials if they oppose our sovereignty. They must yield obedience or we dock their pay. Naturally, they yield to keep out of jail or the poorhouse! Contrast our policy in these two little republics with our policy in Mexico. Our interests in Mexico are vastly greater than in Hayti and Santo Domingo. Hundreds of Americans have been murdered, tortured and kidnapped in Mexico. They have not suffered in the two little republics. We took Vera Cruz, losing thirty lives, and then gave it up. We sent Pershing into Mexico and when he drew near Villa we ordered him out, after two of his scouring parties had been slaughtered. The ignorant classes in Mexico had reason to feel that they had driven us out! It was a record of weakness, waste and retreat which would have justly caused the downfall of any foreign government. Now how do we account for the inconsistency of our policy with Mexico and the two little republics? There can be but one explanation. Hayti and Santo Domingo are small, weak and helpless. The administration can be brave with them. But to subjugate Mexico would be difficult. And so the administration wrote notes. It sent poor old John Lind to talk to the Mexicans, and he was easily vanished in the battle of tongues. Mexico knew we would do nothing to call her to account. She was safe from the fate of Hayti and Santo Domingo. It is humiliating to make this admission, but there is no alternative. We do not criticize the army, navy and marine corps. Not at all. They always obey orders and do their duty. It is the inconsistency of our policy at Washington that we condemn. We are not justified in conquering the weak and in surrendering to the strong. This is not in conformity with the principle of "self-determination" which this administration affects to support. It deliberately violated the holiest of all articles of the League of Nations. There is one more point to emphasize. Perhaps civilization and good government would gala if the United States assumed control of the internal affairs of all countries, large and small, where anarchy and disorder prevail—West Indian, Central American, South American and European countries: Armenia, Flume and Haytif! But is it wise for us to do this? By meddling and muddling we have already alienated the good will of our European allies; we have offended China by compelling her to surrender Shantung to Japan. Thus, we have lost friends in Europe and Asia. Must we now complete the record by losing our reputation on the American continent? It does not suffice that Mr. Daniels and Mr. Colby insist that we are merely suppressing "banditry" in Haytl. Why not suppress "banditry" in Mexi-? Did we do it? The danger of this policy in Haytl is simply this: If we assume to invade and subjugate these small, weak American republics that have not harmed or attacked us, while submitting to indignity elsewhere, we will not only lose the respect of the world but the American republics will begin to suspect us. They will say to us that we believe in "self-determination" for the strong and not for the weak.—New York Tribune. "Sweet are the uses of adversity." Nevertheless, it is a poor substitute for sugar when it comes to canning. The barn owl, when she has young, brings a mouse to her nest about every 12 minutes.

Pressure on the eyeball has a surprising effect on the functioning of various parts of the body. Among those who have confirmed this are A, and L, Binet, French investigators, who find that such animals as dogs and rabbits are affected, as well as men. The compression of the eye strikingly modifies the action of the heart, influences respiration, acts upon the blood vessels and even produces disturbance of the muscles. How such reflexes are brought about is not apparent. Insufficient Sweetness. Expert Mice Catchers. Precursor of the Piano. GOV'T OPERATION OUT OF POLITICS Party Leaders Convinced by Results of National Canvass of Editors. VINDICATES FORMER POLL. Overwhelming Veto Like That of Year Before From Both Sides of Political Fence. Washington.—Inner circles of both political parties here are greatly interested in the results of a national poll on the question of government operation among over 5,000 newspaper editors throughout the country. With 86 per cent of these editors, regardless of political faith, giving it as their impartial opinion that the public is more than ever opposed to the government going into business in competition with its citizens, observers here see little chance that either political party will find it a profitable campaign issue. In the opinion of party leaders this sort of a canvass among newspaper editors is the best possible index of public opinion. They recall a similar questionnaire sent out a year ago in connection with the proposition that the government take over the railroads permanently. Replies at that time from approximately the same number of editors showed 83 per cent against the principle of government operation. They recall also that within ten days from publication of the result of the former questionnaire the sentiment for return of the railroads to their owners had definitely crystallized. Comparison of present results in detail with those of a year ago convinces the political student not only that these editors have been accurate in their judgment, but that party considerations played no part in forming it. From Democratic and supposedly radical Texas, for example, the present questionnaire brought replies from editors of 244 papers, only three of which are Republican. Yet the percentage against government objection was 92, which is exactly the same as that given by 200 editors from Republican Michigan, among whom were representatives of only three Democratic papers. Other states that pair percentages significantly are Massachusetts and Nevada, with 100; Connecticut and South Carolina, with 97; Maine and West Virginia, with 96; Kentucky and New York, with 91; Missouri and Pennsylvania, with 89; Ohio and Oklahoma, with 87.

TRAINED AT WEST POINT Served in Mexico, South America and Gave Valiant Service in the World War—Unusual Type of Soldier New York.—War dispatches making more than casual mention of Brig. Gen. Charles Sweeny have lent to the Polish struggle more than an impersonal interest to American army officers at Governor's Island, who are well acquainted with Sweeny, an American soldier of fortune with both principle and purse. Men of no fortune at all who fight for excitement and pay are common enough. But Sweeny, U. S. A., is a multimillionaire's son, his father having amassed great wealth in the famous Coeur D'Alene mines of Washington and Idaho, and the soldier is more than a millionaire in his own right. He put in three years at West Point and then sought the life of an active soldier in Mexico, South and Central America and Europe. Offers Self to Poland. Sweeny, a former lieutenant colonel in the United States army, attached to the general staff, was in Paris during the spring of 1919, recovering from wounds suffered in the Argonne offensive with the A. E. F., when he learned that Poland was in need officers for her new armies. He consulted with the then Premier Paderewski and offered to recruit volunteers when he returned to America. In three weeks he had selected 200 former American army officers, all of whom had seen service in France. Colonel Sweeny sailed for Poland in September of last year with the first of his officer contingent. He was not long in getting into the fight and in recognition of his splendid services Poland commissioned him a brigadier general. This Irish-American-Polish general for whom a soft life held no appeal, began his career on the battlefield on leaving West Point after he tried mining for a while. Soldier of Fortune He went to Mexico and got a wound in the Madero affair. Upon recovery, Sweeny packed up for South America, where he took a hand in several of the revolutions. He got into the world war as a private in the Foreign Legion. In the first Champagne battle in September, 1915, he was commissioned a lieutenant on the field for gallantry. He was severely wounded and gassed in this battle, and on a hospital cot in Paris he was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor. Two other important decorations were bestowed on him in rapid succession and he had a great reputation for bravery. Soon after being made a captain of the French forces, he was sent to the United States upon advice of Ambassador Sharp as an instructor in 1917. Sweeney was commissioned a major in the United States army and helped to train the Eightieth division at Camp Lee, Va. He went overseas with this division, got shot up in the Argonne and was promoted lieutenant colonel for gallantry before the enemy, and assigned to the staff of the A. E. F. URGES FRENCH LEARN GERMAN Former President Poincare Points to Value of Language to His People. Paris, France.—"Learn German," is the advice former President Poincare has given the French through the Association of Language Professors. He said: "To dominate German science, we must understand it. To maintain the independence or the superiority of our literature, we must not close our eyes to foreign literature, not even that of Germany." M. Poincare added that German must be known by those who undertake the administration of the occupied regions, and also to restore French to its proper place in Alsace-Lorraine. Army officers recently were urged to learn German. The government has reinstated that language in the officers' training schools. Young Captain of Industry Denver. Colo.—George Gardens, thirteen years of age, student at Manual high school, is Denver's youngest "captain of industry." When a shortage of charcoal crayons at the high school became acute and the supply at downtown stores was exhausted, George constructed a small charcoal oven on a vacant lot and is now manufacturing what is claimed to be an excellent grade of crayon. The oven is operating 24 hours a day and young Gardens is reaping a tidy sum from sales of the crayon to students. "David and Goliath" Re-enacted "David and Goliath" Re-enacted.

S. for our voters to remember that our state for many years past has been sadly in need of a new capitol building, both for the reason of convenience and expanse of our growing state and also as we will all admit in the matter of appearance which goes a long way nowadays in our country. After examination we are informed that there is even no adequate space or vaults in which to keep the records which are so valuable to the public as we all know. Another thing which might be called to the attention of the voters and especially to those that are opposed to our state administration is that our county and state roads have been improved materially and extensively under Governor McKelvie's administration and that also he has put in effect the code bill, which has and will be the means of saving this state more money than could be estimated, as it has done in Illinois and other states, and that the code bill will also assist to free our state from the sale of undesirable and unprofitable securities, which has in the past been a detriment to our populace. Governor McKelvie has fought hard for these true and profitable issues, and has succeeded in putting into operation a state government which ought to be appreciated by every vote. While it is true that he is only human it cannot be possible that he do something in four years that others have tried to do in decades. The cost of all of these better things, which Governor McKelvie has worked for, of course, is great in the beginning, but we cannot get the warmth and comfort from any house without first building it. Of course we realize that the number who are opposing this present government is only small, but this letter is directed towards those few. L. A. DILLAVAN, 116 So. 14th St., Omaha, Neb.

Until now, if you purchased stock in any colored concern, and found yourself in a position which necessitated raising some money, there was no market-place or other means whereby you could sell any part of such stock. Before the stock is admitted for listing, it is thoroughly investigated by the governors of the exchange amongst whom are some of our most prominent citizens. Their O. K. on the stock of any corporation is sufficient notice to the public that the issue is worthy of their support. In addition, a special reserved fund has been arranged for, whereby a market for such stock is always maintained and no delay occurs in getting the stock sold or a loan procured on same. The Harlem Stock Exchange will stabilize colored business more than anything else that could ever happen. It will give colored investors more confidence in the stocks of their race and will prove a safeguard against unscapulous adventurers and fake schemes that have well-nigh killed the investing spirit of our people.

This denomination has been increased by Southern migrants who are largely of this faith. There are one or two cases where whole congregations have come, either bringing their pastors with them or being soon followed by them. A case of this kind is the congregation known as Pilgrim Rest Baptist church, which has purchased the beautiful Calvary Baptist church at Twenty-fifth and Hamilton, into which it moves the first Sunday in November. This congregation is composed in the first place of people who moved from Bruton, Ala. Their pastor, the Rev. William Franklin, accompanied them. Others have been added until it is now one of the largest Baptist congregations in the city, claiming a membership of 900.

The oldest Baptist church is Zion, at Twenty-second and Grant, with a membership of 1,000. The Rev. W. F. Botts is pastor. A handsof structure, which has been in process of construction since 1914, is nearing completion. The cost of this building as originally planned was to have been 60,000. It is said that it will exceed this sum. But for real hustling, energetic work, Bethel Baptist on the South A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 28, 1920 Side easily takes the palm. Its pastor is the Rev. Thomas A. Taggart, a young man of great zeal and energy. He, while his brethren on the North Side were tediously and slowly building, gathered and organized a strong congregation on the South Side and built without debt a handsome edifice which represents a valuation of $25,000. He has a loyal, united and devoted congregation of more than 600 people. Mt. Moriah Baptist has done excellent work. It purchased, paid for and remodeled a church building at Twenty-sixth and Seward streets, under the efficient pastorate of the Rev. M. H. Wilkinson. Having outgrown this, they purchased an attractive church in Twenty-fourth and Ohio streets, of which they took possession a few months ago. This congregation claims a membership of 500. Pleasant Green Baptist church at Twenty-second and Paul streets, Rev. A. B. REV. W. M. FRANKLIN, Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church John Costello, pastor, shows what people can do who have a mind to work. Less than three years ago Mr. Costello gathered his little flock together and worshipped in a dwelling. Subsequently a lot was purchased, upon which by the labor of his own hands and that of his people, both men and women, a neat brick church has been erected. The membership numbers about 300. There are several other smaller Baptist congregations located at various points in the city. The Episcopalians have a handsome, well-appointed church and rectory on twenty-first street between Nicholas and Paul. It is known as the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. The pastor is the Rev. John Albert Williams, who is the nestor of the Omaha ministers, he having served this one congregation for twenty-nine years. St. Philip's has a communicant list of 125, which represents about 300 adherents. Its church properly is valued at $25,000 and is absolutely free of debt. The Roman Catholics are represented by the congregation of St. Benedict the Moor, which at present worships in the chapel of the Sacred Heart. The Rev. Francis Cassilly, S. J., is pastor. COLORED CANDIDATES ON VIRGINIA BALLOT RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 28.—The names of two Colored candidates for office will appear on the ballot for the November election. One is Joseph R. Pollard, lawyer, state and city chairman of the Colored faction of the Republican party. Pollard was nominated by the state executive committee, and filed his notice of candidacy for the United States Senator of the commonwealth. The executive committee nominated at the same time candidates for Congress in four districts as follows: First district, J. Thomas Newsome, Newport News; Second district, Thomas H. Reid, Portsmouth; Third district, H. H. Price, Richmond; Fourth district, Rev. F. J. Mason. These nominations show that the breach between the white and Negro wings of the Republican party has not been bridged. The executive committee advises the Colored voters to either refrain from voting for Congressman Slemp in the Ninth district or vote for the Democratic candidate. OUTBREAK BETWEEN SHREVEPORT La.. Oct. 28.—As a result of the outbreak between whites and blacks at the Crew Lake camps of the Holly Ridge and Faust Bross. Lumber companies, when four blacks were killed and two others wounded, Negroes are leaving that section in large numbers, although prominent white men having lumber interests there have endeavored to stop them and have assured them that they will be thoroughly protected. Crawford Malone, Grady Malone and Donnie Woody, white farmers of the Crew Lake neighborhood, are under arrest on charges of murder in connection with the Crew Lake tragedy. They were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Floyd Brashier and Jim Calboun and to taken to Raville. Although the exact cause of the fight between the whites and blacks has not yet been determined, it is claimed by lumber men that several men went to the Negro quarters for the purpose of robbing. The identity of the men has not been ascertained, as they wore handkerchiefs over their faces. District Attorney Ellis of Rayville is making a thorough investigation of the case and it is said it may involve several of the leading farmers of the Crew Lake district in addition to the three white men already under arrest. The arrest followed the investigation of the district attorney. The congregation has about 100 adherents. The Presbyterians have within the last few months established a congregation here. The presbytery has purchased the church formerly owned by Mt. Moriah Baptist church at Twenty-sixth and Seward. The Rev. Russel Taylor, a man of scholarship and ability, is the pastor. The congregation is small but growing. The Seventh Day Adventists and other smaller groups are doing work in the city. ZION CHURCH APPEAL The Rev. W. F.

EIGHT PAGES AVIATION "ACE" OPPOSES LEAGUE Covenant of Nations Has but One Meaning, War, Declares Capt. "Eddie" Rickenbacker. SPEAKS FOR BOYS WHO FOUGHT Says Lawyers May Argue Point, but Soldiers Would Interpret Our Signature Only as Pledge to Fight Which Must Be Kept. BY CAPT. 'EDDIE' RICKENBACKER. Chapter I. For a soldier, the League of Nations has just one meaning—war. It is a contract to fight. If we join the league we agree to fight when called in to do so. International lawyers and diplomatists may argue this point. Some say that we may sign the league covenant and still not fight unless we want. They argue that, after our allies call on us, we still are at liberty to go in or stay out. The soldier does not look at the league covenant in this way. He does not bother with the law or diplomacy. We sign a contract; we must keep it. We give a promise; we must redeem it. He does not even think about A. Capt. "Eddie" Rickenbacker. whether it is morals or law that binds us. He only knows that if we give a pledge we are going to stand by it. Take, for instance, article 10, the war article of the league. The soldier reads there that the members of the league "undertake to respect and preserve against external aggression" the territory and independence of all other members. That is the language of the covenant. The soldier translates that language in his mind into United States. He then would put the pledge, if signed by the United States, in about this form: "The United States undertakes to respect and preserve against external aggression the territory of all members of the league." Add to this that to the soldier "external aggression" is merely a polite name for war and you have article 10 as he sees it. Everything else is to him just camouflage. We give our word to stand ready to fight, on call, for any other nation in the league that is suffering from a case of "external aggression." Once given, we have to keep it. The trouble might come in China, or Siam, Greece, India or Egypt. We might be called to fight to keep 36,000,000 Chinese in Shantung under Japanese rule, or to hold India in the British empire; we might not like the job; we might even sympathize with the Chinese, or Hindus, but we should have given our word, in a plain contract, and we should have to keep it.
