OCOEE, Fla., Nov. 18.—The true story of the murdering here of inoffensive men and women November 2 and 3, growing out of the effort of Jule Perry to vote, is best told in the language of an open letter addressed by the Hon. George B. Lockwood of Washington, D. C., to Governor Catts requesting him to use his authority to bring the guilty persons to justice. The facts, which were furnished Mr. Lockwood by a reputable gentleman residing in that community, thoroughly conversant with the situation, are reliable. No doubt the general impression given by the press dispatches was to the effect that Perry was a wortless member of our race. If so, this is erroneous. He was one of the most intelligent, self-respecting and substantial citizens in the community. But here are the facts as given by Mr. Lockwood who, not being a member of our race and therefore not biased in our favor, would have no object in misrepresenting the facts: "At Ocoee, Orange county, Fla., on November 2, a Negro offered to vote. He had registered as a voter under the laws of the state, but it was claimed that he had not subsequently paid his laws of the state, but it was claimed he had not subsequently paid his poll tax and therefore was not eligible to vote. His ballot was refused. He went away and later returned to the polling place got into an argument with democratic watchers, some hot words passed and he was knocked down and went away. It was claimed, though not proved that he had a gun hidden in his automobile. It is not claimed that he displayed it, or offered to shoot. "About eight o'clock on the evening of November 2, a so-called 'posse' composed of about 14 dozen democratic leaders, went to the Negro settlements, as they claimed, te 'disarm' the blacks. One man forced his way into a house and was shot. The 'posse' then opened fire on the house. The fire was returned by the inmates and two white men were killed and several wounded. Then the posse set the house on fire, and the inmates, including several women, were burned to death. Then the 'posse' went from house to house burning homes and murdering the occupants. Thirty houses, two churches, a school house and a lodge building were burned. The 'posse' drove all the inhabitants into his surrounding woods, some being killed in flight. They chased the Negro who had attempted to vote into a clump of bushes and shot him to pieces, tearing off one arm. He was sent to a hospital, where his wounds were pronounced fatal. He was put in jail at Orlando, Fla., whence he was taken before morning by a mob, and hanged. This man was one of the best Negro men in the county, respectful, law-abiding and owner of a fine grove. His name was July Perry. A mock coroner's jury was assembled under the color of law, and returned the verdict on Perry: 'Came to his death at the hands of persons unknown.' "Inoffending Negro men, women and children were attacked next day in the locality without their knowing why; in one case a Negro boy was driven from a wagon he was driving and chased under a corn-crib, where he remained, fearing to come out, GROWING, THANK YOU! THE MONITOR "There has been, so far as I am advised, no investigation into these wholesale murders; no action by county, state or federal authorities. None, I am informed, is contemplated. "You are governor of the state and a minister of the gospel. Do you propose, by failure to take any action in this matter, to rest under the imputation of sympathy with such wanton crimes, brutally inflicted by savage and lawless men upon helpless people who had not the most remote connection with the crime of this registered Negro in attempting to vote, if that be a crime? "This inquiry has nothing to do with 'social equality'; no law can fix either the inferiority or superiority, socially or otherwise, of any race; no one but a common liar or blockhead alleges that the republican party seeks to establish 'social equality' in the South or elsewhere. It has nothing to do with the franchise laws of Florida, which your state has enacted and for which Florida is alone responsible, subject to the provision of the federal constitution that citizens deprived of the ballot shall not be used is the basis of representation in congress or the electoral college. It has nothing to do with the conduct of the Negro who offered to vote, or even the right or wrong of attacking him for his persistence in the mistaken idea, if it was mistaken, that he was a voter under the laws of your state. "The question is whether such an orgy of slaughter can be carried on is against many helpless and innocent people, by members of your party, for political reasons, or for the sport involved in murder, without the hand of authority being lifted either to present or punish it in a commonwealth where recently denunciation of 'Hun atrocities' was heard from nearly every pulpit and platform in the state! Whether, too, such an incident can pass without condemnation from the press and pulpit of your state. "The American people recognize that the race question in the South is one full of difficulty and danger. They would not make it more serious. They fail to see whether such episodes as the one just recounted can help to bring it nearer a solution." A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor LITTLE JULIUS SNEEZER OMAHA, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 18, 1920 NO CLEMENCY FOR MEN CHARGED WITH MURDER LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 18.—No clemency will be shown in the cases of six Negroes under sentence of death for participation in the Elaine, Ark., riots of last year, and the fixing of dates for their execution awaits only official notice from the United States supreme court that the cases will not be reviewed by that tribunal, Governor Charles H. Brough announced. The governor said he had reached a definite conclusion that these men were guilty of murder in the first degree and that the sentence imposed by the courts of Arkansas would not be commuted by him. The statement was made following a conference with several residents of Elaine, who urged the governor to allow the sentences to stand. INDIANS TO ASK FULL CTTIZENSHIP BY LAW ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 18.—Enactment of federal legislation "to grant citizenship without reservation" to members of their race will be urged by the Society of American Indians, according to delegates to the ninth annual conference, which opened here Tuesday. Every tribe in the United States is represented in the society, it was asserted, and delegates from virtually all are expected to attend. A present, delegates said, approximately 300,000 Indians, representing about two-thirds of the population of the race in this country, are not citizens. MAY BE COURT-MARTIALS OVER HATTI KILLINGS PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Nov. 18. The United States naval court resumed its sittings Tuesday. It is probable that a dozen marines will give evidence relating to charges of individual violence toward natives. Major Jesse F. Dyer, judge advocate, returned Monday from Cape Taitien and other points, where he went to round up witnesses who had been ordered to report here. Although officials are silent, the correspondent learns that the naval court is gathering evidence on which it is likely several court-martials will be ordered, some of them on charges of murder committed last year.

ALDERMAN ELECTED CLEVELAND, Tenn., Nov. 11.—In the municipal election held here recently, Dr. T. E. Stevens, prominent physician of the race, was elected alderman of the Third ward, receiving 107 votes, whereas his closest opponent, a white man, received seventy-six votes. The vote of the women figured prominently, they having cast a majority of votes. ASK ENFORCEMENT FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT The National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People Through Its Board of Directors Urges Congress to Enforce Constitution and Reduce Southern Representation. Many Newspapers Urgent in Their Advocacy of Enforcement of the Amendment—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph Editorial Representative of Attitude of Many Northern Newspapers. (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. it its regular meeting voted that a telegram be sent to Representative Isaac Siegel, chairman of the house committee on the census, urging enforcement of the fourteenth amendment, and consequent reduction of representation in southern states in which colored voters are disfranchised. The telegram follows: "The board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in behalf of 12,000,000 colored people of the United States, urges upon the congress of the United States a reapportionment of representation in accordance with the terms of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. "Open and flagrant disfranchisement of colored voters in a number of states has occurred in the presidential election of 1920, of which this association is prepared to furnish evidence. The board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. therefore urges that the qualifications for voting be defined by the congress of the election laws enforced by the federal government. "Enforcement of this proposal naturally falls within the providence of the United States government as much as enforcement of woman suffrage and prohibition." Reduction of southern representation is going to get an inning in congress. A number of outspoken newspapers have spoken frankly on the subject. The Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph, one of the leading daily newspapers of Pennsylvania, speaking on this important subject, says: "With the 1920 census figures before it, congress will soon have to take up the question of reapportioning the membership of the house. There are now 435 members, on the basis of one for 210,504 persons. A reduction rather than an increase of membership is being strongly urged. This could be accomplished by apportioning representation on the basis of the presidential vote instead of upon the basis of population. This would reduce the entire membership, but would especially affect the southern representation. The states which do not allow Negroes to vote would be particularly hard hit. Section 2 of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution provides that 'when the right to vote is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such states being CHED ECTED CITIZEN BY BAKER I WORE A PAIR OF "PUMPS!" 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the same proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state.' The eleven states of the 'solid South' have fifth of the nation's population, but out of a total presidential vote of 18,528,743 in 1916 they cast only 1,796,108 ballots. A condition where eleven southern states, plus Oklahoma, have fewer voters than Illinois, but five times its representation in congress and in the electoral college certainly calls for correction. "The situation mentioned does not take into consideration the new woman vote. Southern members of congress did not hesitate to declare, when fighting the enabling resolution for submission of the woman suffrage amendment, that Negro women would never be allowed to vote in their section. If the South persists in its policy of deliberate disfranchisement it cannot complain if it suffers the direct legal consequences of its course and has it representation reduced in congress and the electoral college to accord with its actual vote at the polls." JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CONFIRMED (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 18—The board of directors of the National A. A. C. P., at their regular meeting, confirmed the appointment of James Weldon Johnson as secretary. Mr. Johnson, who has been serving as acting secretary, succeeds John R. Shillady. Mr. Johnson was formerly United States consul to Venezuela and Nicaragua. He is the author of "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" and "Fifty Years and Other Poems." Mr. Johnson this spring undertook an investigation of the administration of Haiti for the N. A. A. C. P. and his charges were reiterated by Senator Harding, resulting in the appointment of a naval board of inquiry and the promise of a congressional investigation. ALLEGED BANDIT IS HELD TO DISTRICT COURT Chris Cochran, giving his home and address as Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, was bound over to the district court on $2,500 bonds on a charge of robbery Tuesday, after being positively identified by L. S. Smith, 4802 South Thirty-sixth street, as the man who held him up Friday night at Thirtieth L streets and robbed him of $8, a watch and fob. Cochran was arrested on suspicion by Officers Buford and Ransom Sunday. He had a gun, which Smith said he used when he robbed him. JAILED FOR ILL: (By he Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 18.—The Rev. T. H. O.

JEWISH REPORTER MAKES DISCOVERY Unearths Colony of Colored Jews in Gotham Who Claim Descent From Esau and Call Themselves "True Jews"-Hold to Old and New Testament Scriptures and Wear Crucifixes. HOLD PECULIAR SABBATIC NOTIONS (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—A cult of self-styled "true Jew" Negroes have been discovered in Harlem by B. Levitin, a reporter on the Jewish daily, the Forward. They are led by a chief prophet, a certain mysterious Roberson, who has never yet been produced, and claim to have seventy members in this country. Twelve elders head the board of directors of this organization, which, on its letterheads, calls itself "The Hebrew Settlement Workers' Association." When Mr. Levitin, in the interests of American Jewry, traced the claimants to the title of "true Jews," he found them holding their meetings in the back of a co-operative grocery store at 2367 Seventh avenue. This part of the store they considered too sacred for his intrusion, but they consented to give him the interview under a tree at the corner of 135th street and Third avenue. The secretary of the cult was at first afraid to say anything on the ground that the "white Jews" were going to persecute these "real Jews." "You white Jews are afraid," he said, "that we, the real Jews, should not tell the world the whole truth, that we, the colored, and not you, are the real Jews." He then declared that the cult considered themselves descendants of Esau, brother of Jacob, who was colored. Most of the following, he said, had been born in Palestine, while others came from Calcutta, India, but had been in Palestine. Most of them speak an eastern dialect, possibly Arabic, which they call "God's language." Only one of the elders was American born, but he said that his parents came from Palestine. The American-born elder said he had learned this "God's language" in five minutes. Though they claim to be Jewish, many wore crucifixes on their persons and affirm their belief in both Old and New Testaments. They do not seem to know of any of the Jewish holidays, according to Mr. Levitin, and do not keep the Sabbath. This omission they explained by saying that since a day of eternal time was equal to a thousand years of earthly time, and since the Jews, by their own intimation, are in the five thousand temporal year or fifth day (in eternal time) of their existence, the Sabbath, or sevent day, had still two thousand years in which to arrive. The "Hebrew Settlement Workers" live on the communistic plan, following earthly occupations and paying their wages into a common fund, from which they draw all their necessities. They claim to be maintaining an orphan, asylum for white and Negro children at Obsecon, N. J., and also somewhere on Long Island. For Rent for Balls, Parties, Recitals and General Assemblies.

Chicago THE MONITOR A New Group of Race Leaders Who Stress the Business and Industrial Side of Life - Desire Man in Treasury Department in Touch With Financial Interests. PEOPLE ARE AWAKENING (By Charles E. Hall) WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—The incorporation last week of the Prudential bank, a commercial and savings institution with a capitalization of $100,000, and the incorporation of the Standard Investment and Development company for $150,000 gaye the members of our group in the District of Columbia a total of nineteen recently organized corporations with an aggregate capitalization of $2,880,000. Included in this list is a hotel and apartment house proposition, two banks, a broom factory, two building and loan associations, a farming and merchandise company, a housing corporation, a life insurance company, a theatre corporation, a commercial company owning valuable property, an investment and development company that recently purchased eight stores for $120,000 in the busiest part of the uptown section, a suburban pleasure park association, a motion picture corporation, several realty corporations whose recent purchases of large and centrally located apartment houses have greatly relieved the housing situation among our group, and several co-operative organizations that are conservatively investing the money received from the sale of stock to members of the race. The great change among our people in the city of Washington will startle the politicians and office holders who will come into their own with the new administration, and unless they come here with something on their minds more important than the story of David's sojourn in the land of the Philistines, a scientific knowledge of how to win applause, or highbrow information on such subjects as the increase and diffusion of knowledge in regard to the nature and properties of atmospheric air in connection with the welfare of man, etc., their presence will be unnoticed in this community, unless, of course, their bank rolls permit them to become identified with some of the numerous business concerns. The day has passed when a register of the treasury, a recorder of deeds or a minister to Dahomey can impress the busy Washingtonian with his importance, and it is hoped that the new administration will bring with it a few colored men of affairs, rather than a bunch of pompous phrase makers. The business element would like to see one of our race appointed to a position in the United States treasury, whether as register or something else, that would fit him for the management of a big trust company or a security bonding company upon his retirement from office. They want to see appointed a live wire man who will make a connection, while in office, with the big financiers of the country, and bring to the race the results of his contact, study and experience. The producers are tired of seeing big jobs that could, and should, be turned into assets for the entire race, thrown away on little men who do not realize the value of their opportunities, and whose chief contribution to the race is talk.

(By E. A. Wilson) HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 18.—The greatest gridiron battle witnessed in Hampton since the days of '15 and '16 was fought between Hampton Institute and Lincoln University. The day was clear and slightly cool—very inviting to the large crowd of spectators that filled the bleachers on each side of the field. The Lincoln men were the first on the field. They captured the audience by their striking appearance and stunt formations in signal practice. The Hampton team came out just at the moment when the game should be called. Only a few moments were consumed in arranging the final details. Lincoln stood ready to receive the kick. The game started with Lincoln in possession of the pigskin and driving hard. After a few long drives aumble left them on the 30-yard line with Hampton holding the ball. The exciting time had come and Rigney began plunging in his old form, while Rosebury and Wood swept the ends like new brooms. One hard drive at a very critical time put the pigskin on the 1-yard line. Rosebury took it over on the last down. The first touchdown was made in less than five minutes of play. Lincoln received the kick and made powerful charges through the Hampton line. With gain after gain they broke down the sturdy Seasiders' barrier. As Lincoln neared the danger zone, the Hampton line stiffened like magic and held Lincoln for downs on the 10-yard line. A kick out of danger ended the first quarter. Score: Hampton, 7; Lincoln, 0. The second quarter found Lincoln with tiger-like spirit and bovine strength, but the happy little Seasiders played rings around them when they tried to go the "aerial way." Wood, Wright and Rosebury stood brilliantly in breaking up and intercepting forward passes. After hard fighting, Lincoln again reached the Hampton fighting ground by putting the ball in the 4-yard territory and making a first down. The Hampton line grew so large that even with the best efforts the visitors could not go through. Temple then sent up a kick that put Hampton beyond the critical area, but little Wilson, Lincoln's fast quarterback, advanced it back in the danger zone. After making several incomplete forwards, Lincoln was forced to kick. Coleman rushed in just in time to touch it before getting a good start, and Rigney caught it and forced his way 10 yards into the visitors' field. Hampton then exhibited some aerial skill and the half ended with Lincoln wasping for breath on the 10-yard line. The third quarter was a nip and tuck fight with Hampton making the Lincolnites try everything they knew in football strategy. Parr drove hard against the Seasiders' line, making first downs at will. The visitors were going finely, when Lincoln attempted to send in a substitute that had been in the game and received a 30-yard penalty. This did not discourage the hard-fighting visitors. They forced their way down the field with heavy line plunging. The quarter ended with them on the 10-yard line and first down. HE Florence C Florence Cole Talbert Lyric Soprano FAMOUS DIAMOND MEDALIST Grove M. Monday Even BENEFIT HE Tickets cited crowd cheering each side. Hampton again held Lincoln for downs and Temple kicked a perfect spiral, but the swift little Wilson brought it back. Lincoln tried a costly forward that Long of Hampton intercepted. Long ran 90 yards for a touchdown. This seemed to upset the visitors. They began to look weak and Hampton showed them how to hit a line. Wood, Rosebury and Rigney ploughed the line for long gains and Temple tried a few long end runs. The game ended with Hampton on the 5-yard line and Lincoln looking sad. The lineup: Hampton (14)—Watley, left end; Banks, left tackle; Smothers, left guard; Gayle, center; Coleman, right guard; Bradby, right tackle; Wright, right end; Temple, quarterback; Wood (captain), left halfback; Rosebury, right halfback; Rigney, fullback. Lincoln (0)—Grymes, left end; Coston, left tackle; Wood, left guard; Carter, center; Scott, right guard; Hopkins, right tackle; Nix (captain); right end; Wilson, quarterback; Parr'eft halfback; Brown, right halfback; Lord, fullback. Referee: Captain Joseph Trigg. Umpire: A. K. Savoy. Head linesman: Buck Hunt. Touchdowns: Rosebury and Long. HOWARD UNIVERSITY (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Perhaps one of the most progressive and far-reaching actions taken recently by the present administration at Howard University is the permission granted to the Greek letter organizations among its college women to establish and maintain sorority homes. The new step taken is a clear indication of the progressive attitude of the administration and its recognition of the high type of womanhood represented in its student body. The sororities are already making plans to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and equip the houses to be placed at their disposal by the university so that their members may enjoy the privilege of more complete fraternity life. It is contemplated that, in addition to the house matrons who will live with the ladies in the sorority homes, the university will also have a matron to aid in promoting the culture and refinement which these organizations foster. The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, which is one of the products of Howard University college women, having been organized at the university in 1908, has already secured from the university a house which is located on the university grounds. This is the first time in the history of American Negro colleges or in any college in the world that sororities among Negro college women are to have the privilege of conducting their own homes, and thereby experience the deeper pleasures of college fraternity life. A distinguished and wealthy Negro in the city of Augusta, Ga., provided in his will that his body be buried standing erect with his face set toward the rising sun. One can but feebly guess at what was in the mind of the aged Negro when he made this rather unusual provision for his burial. Africa is to the east of us. May not the call of the impenetrable mystery of its beauties, songs and majestic grandeur have turned his spiritual aspirations toward the stretches of our fatherland? In any event his face is turned toward the east, and his back faces the travail of an existence weak in social creed and frail in structural purpose. What if Africa should be the birthplace of the world's genuine democracy? E.

THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRUSS FIRST IN SERVICE IT'S UP TO YOU, REPUBLICANS NOW that the republicans have been so everwhelmingly successful, and have everything their own way, members of our group make these simple requests in the name of justice and righteousness, that you give these things your most careful attention: 1. Lynching—The republican platform as adopted by the Chicago convention in June, carries a plank on the subject of lynching. The republican congress will be required to legislate on this subject. Under this head comes all forms of mob violence, the bombing of property, and other forms of violence. 2. Disfranchisement—It is agreed that the time has come for some definite and drastic action with reference to disfranchisement. In the southern states representation in congress and the electoral college have been based on the total population, yet open defiance of the United States constitution and election subterfuges have been resorted to for years, without much more than a protest, and yet this country went into the world war to make "democracy safe" and the American Negroes furnished nearly 400,000 able bodied men, and millions in money. 3. "Jim Crow" Cars—In the matter of southern transportation something must be done immediately. There are those who contend that all discrimination in public places must be wiped out. It is well known that a determined effort to enforce such a policy in the South would cause an upheaval that would bring bitter defiance. It is not believed that sufficient support could be obtained from congress for this drastic step at this time. However, "equal accommodations" is a substitute that could be righteously enforced. 4. Immigration—There is a growing sentiment among whites against the present apparently discriminate immigration that has reached a total of more than 25,000 a week. These people are seeking to take the places in the North now occupied by our group, thousands of whom have come North within the last four years. In the South certain communities have begun to make inquiry with the idea of satisfying the labor shortage with foreigners. 5. "White Man's Country"—The Japanese problem in the West, and the influx of Negroes into northern communities, have given rise to the old cry of "This is a white man's country." This is regarded as un-American, and against the principles and traditions of the republic, which was founded upon the principle that "All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." 6. Industry — Industrial organizations and labor unions have been gradually throwing the door of opportunity open to colored men and women. Their efficiency has been tested and praised. However, it is the task of the race to exercise every means to maintain a standard of excellence that will maintain the principles of merit alone, without regard to race, in providing means of employment. ...7...Commerce—The colored people of the entire country have a quickened appreciation of the value of commercial activity. At every turn corporations of all descriptions are being formed for the purpose of securing and maintaining an economic foothold that has heretofore been neglected, if not denied. The people now have more money per capita than ever before, and are enthusiastic about ventures, and safeguards against frauds must be maintained. 8. Education — The unprecedented thirst for knowledge in all sections of the country must be encouraged and wisely provided for. 9. Morality and Welfare—Sharp and unmistaken lines of distinctions must be drawn between the small criminal class among the Negroes. and that much larger unheralded class of industrious, hard-working group that conscientiously and earnestly seeks to fit properly into the best ideals of American life. In the matter of courts, justice must be meted out, punishing the guilty without fear, but always justice. 10. Housing—In the matter of housing, the race, in common with every other element of the nation, is suffering from the housing shortage, rent profiteering, and all of the kindred disadvantages and unpleasantness connected with the subject. Buying of homes and the formation of building and loan companies to secure property, are desired, and a guarantee of property rights, as vouched by the federal constitution. 11. Propaganda—A definite and exhaustive program of propaganda. This is to meet the onslaught of those who are bent on putting the race in a abd light before the American people in general. Every agency known to modern publicity should be used to counteract this effect, and a campaign of education carried on that will reach not only the people of the group, but the white population as well, a campaign not of hatred and vindictiveness, but one of reason and object lessons. In brief, these are some of the things now being discussed by the people at large. They supersede political positions and petty office holding. Political preferment will come as a matter of course, in the promulgation of the things outlined. It is the contention in the matter of political positions that a demand should be made for a group of places, aside from those of traditional standing, that will place those who are to represent the group in places where influence will count in carrying the program of reconstruction and adjustment. These are no more than any group whose support has been so material in the success of the republicans would ask and confidently expect, and our group is no exception. JESSIE HALE-MOSS JESSIE HALE-MOSS is a woman whom Omaha will sadly miss. She was a zealous, self-sacrificing and unremitting worker for any cause which enlisted her interest and sympathy and every movement which affected her race had her whole-hearted devotion. In whatever work she enlisted she spared not herself. She was a tower of strength in her church, devotion to which with her was a passion, being active in choir, Sunday school and Epworth league. As secretary and subsequently president of the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P., no one could have rendered more zealous and self-sacrificing service.

Believing in the franchise for women, she was most active in the recent political campaign. But besides the work that brought her into the public eye the quieter and unpublished work which she did among the poor and needy of the city and especially among boys and girls who might have come to the attention of the juvenile court filled a large lace in her life. Of Jessie Hale-Moss it may be truthfully written, "She loved to serve." Suddenly called to cease her earthly labors when so many years seemed to lie before her, she will be sadly missed. From Him who rewardeth all who diligently strive to do His work, may she receive the greeting, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into My joy and rest." THE CASE OF BEN MARSHALL THERE is a great deal of opposition to the parole of Ben Marshall, who was sentenced to the penitentiary June 20, 1908, for two terms of fifteen years, or a total of thirty years, for an attempted assault upon two women. That they were white women does not magnify, nor does it minimize his heinous offense. The assailant of womanhood, irrespective of her nationality, deserves and should receive condign punishment. Marshall from his conduct, previous to his arrest and conviction, showed himself to be either insane or a degenerate. According to prison records, he has been a model prisoner and is therefore eligible to parole and has been listed for parole. A storm of protest has been raised against releasing this "Negro Assailant of White Women" (quoted headline shows usual sinister appeal to race prejudice) from prison. The Monitor believes that the place for men of the type of Marshall is either in prison or in an insane asylum; but if after a man has served twelve years under the exacting and scrutinizing eye of the prison authorities, they are convinced that in the eventide of life he has sufficiently reformed to be given an opportunity to make good outside of the prison walls, it seems to us that he should be given that chance. With allowance for good behavior he has served more than half of his original sentence. We question whether the opposition to Marshall's parole is sincere, or is it largely political buncome? WE notice that the local dailies, or two of them, are again making prominent and calling undue attention to alleged crimes by colored men. This is wholly unnecessary and dangerous. It makes the race, not the crime of the offender, prominent. It stirs up racial hatred. And what is needed is tre allaying of racial, class and religious animosities, not their arousing. The press should do nothing to foment strife. Calling attention to the fact that a "Negro" is accused of this or that is either done thoughtlessly or with malicious intent. Which is it? In either case it is unworthy of the press and should be stopped. Proverbs and Paragraphics BE not wise in thine own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil.—Proverbs 3-7.

SNYCOPATED SPASMS ONE of the many things on which the human race should pump the loud pedal is education. Therefore this syncopated spasm will consist of a dulcet dissertation upon this subject. Many of our "cullud" section of our human population have a disposition to pass up education somewhat after the manner of dodging a collection of smallpox bumps. In so doing they are grabbing hold of the wrong number. What everybody needs first is education. We agree that everybody also needs much of the mazumatic needful, but if you haven't got education enough to take care of the needful, your name is mud. Now in these days and times it is far easier to get a headful of education than it is to get a headful of mule, and friend former is a durn sight more useful. Education is something you can carry around with you all the time and not be ashamed of it. It is a case of "I need thee every hour."

CONSULTATION ABSOLUTELY FREE Education you are homely, slow-footed and 40, doesn't mean that your days for education are over and that your brain should become as ossified as Bill Bryan's antique planks. The funny thing about the brain is that the more you put into it the more it will hold, and you should never stop putting things into it. Just as you can never tell when Brother Gabe is going to blow the big bassoon, so you can never tell when you are going to need education. Now education means a whole lot more than the mere juggling with books. It means the knowledge of trades, business, professions, and everything that is worth knowing. In fact, today education is becoming the only hand with which you can shake the shekel tree. If you aren't educated in something, you are a lost soul. Your earning power is down to about zero and your executive power about 212 in the shade. In other words, without education you have to work a whole lot harder for a dollar bill than the educated guy has to work for ten. Do you get the idea? If you do, hang on to it.

Community Shocked by the Unexpected Death of President of Local Branch of N. A. A. C. P. and Active Worker in Church, Charity and Civic Affairs. OMAHA was shocked Sunday morning by the news of the death of Mrs. Jessie Hale-Moss, wife of James W. Moss, and president of the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Mrs. Moss became ill Wednesday while down town and was taken to her home, 2881 Miami street. Dr. J. H. Hutten was called and diagnosed her case as an acute intestinal trouble which would necessitate an operation and urged her going to a hospital. Thursday she seemed better and there was hesitation in carrying out the physician's instructions. Saturday she was taken to Nicholas Senn hospital, but was too weak to undergo the operation. Early Sunday morn- IROQUOIS LODGE ing she died. Mrs. Moss at the time of her death had just completed one year as president of the Omaha branch of the N.A. A. C. P., of which organization she had previously served a year as secretary. She represented the association at the national meeting in Cleveland in June of last year and at Atlanta this year. She was a prominent member of St. John's A. M. E. church, taking a leading part in all of its activities. She served as an assistant at the Lake Street War Camp Community Center for some months. She was an active worker in the Y. W. C. A., being leader of the religious work. She was secretary of the Douglas County Colored Women's Republican club and was interested in juvenile welfare work. She was also associate editor of the New Era. Jessie Hale-Moss was a daughter of J. Claudius and Caroline Hale of Middleport, O., where she was born May 26, 1875. She was graduated from Middleport High and Normal Training school, and taught school for nineteen years. Mr. and Mrs. Moss came to Omaha about seven years ago and she became actively identified with the social and religious life of the city. Mrs. Moss is survived by her husband, her mother, Mrs. Caroline Hale; a sister, Mrs. John D. Wright of Omaha; two brothers, Frank Hale of Omaha and George Hale of Akron, O., and other relatives. The funeral was held from St. John's A. M. E. church today at 1 o'clock, the Rev. W. C. Williams officiating. Interment was in Forest Lawn cemetery.

Ferguson, attended a mixer given by the presidents of all the Lincoln Camp Fires at the gymnasium of the high school last Saturday night. The girls are selling buttons in the Red Cross drive this week. A large crowd gathered at the Masonic hall last Friday night to see the entertainment given by the Akeyuhapi Camp Fire Girls. A splendid program was given and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Among the numbers most enjoyed were the Camp Fire song, "Mammy Moon," with motions, sung by all the girls wearing the Camp Fire dresses; three costumed solo dances, Spanish, by Vaterie Crews; "Teddy Bear," by Mary Mitchell, and the "Butterfly," by Corinee Ferguson, and the two folk dances by all of the girls. The next camp meeting of the camp will be at the home of Piccola Saunders. THE ROUND TABLE In this day, the Negro being the subject of much curious inquiry, it behooves us to be well acquainted with our history as a developing group in the civic life of this country. From object poverty to the possessor of land, homes and financial institutions we. It is in the spirit of spreading the "light" among Negro Masons, that they may know from whence they came. The object, then, of this series of papers is to let our craft know that they are as legitimate in Again as any other group of craftsmen. I proceed to quote freely from the writings of Brother Harry A. Williamson, deputy grand master of the grand lodge, state of New York, Free and Accepted Masons (Prince Hall). It is to Brother Williamson that we indebted for much of the historical data that we have quoted. That Prince Hall, also the grand lodge which he organized with the assistance of his brethren, were duly recognized by the parent body of Free Masons of the world, is corroborated in the following clipping credited to the American Free Mason of April 18, 1869, and taken from the book of constitutions of the grand lodge of Prince Hall Masons of Tennessee, page 24, issue of 1907: "On the call for papers by a commission of the grand lodge of Massachusetts, it has been proven that Prince Hall was duly appointed provincial grand master for lodges of black men in America, by exactly the same English grand lodge which appointed Henry Price, sixty years previously, a provincial grand master for lodges of white men in America; and that he was corresponded with by the authorities of such English grand lodges and recognized in that official capacity as long as was any other English-appointed grand master for any portion of the United tates." Under date of August 20, 1792, William White, grand secretary of the grand lodge of England, addressed a letter to Prince Hall. The following paragraph, copied from "Upton's Negro Masonry," page 212, belongs to said letter: "When you next write to me, I should be obliged to you if you let me know if the lodges in the enclosed list, which were constituted by the grand lodge of England, are yet in being, as we have never heard from them since the commencement of the late war in America, or indeed, long before; and in case they have ceased to meet, which I rather apprehend, they ought to be erased from our list of lodges." The lodges referred to in this list were lodge 2, lodge 42 and lodge 88, all in the vicinity of Boston; Marblehead lodge 91, lodge 93 at New Haven, Conn., and a lodge 142, location not given. Another objection against the recognition of the Prince Hall organizations, or the admission of black men into the lodges of the whites, and one which many deem to be the crux of the whole matter, is the consequent social intermingling among the lodge members, particularly the possibility of black members coming into contact with the wives and daughters of their white brethren at the various social functions. In some of the Prince Hall lodges in the state of New York there are white members. Does any one suppose the black members have no reason to fear the effect of social contact of their families and their white brethren? It is impossible to discuss this feature within a limited space, hence I reserve for our next pen-chat quotations from the state of Washington or 1897. In closing this lengthy article, I am reminded of the anti-Japanese legislation and agitation that is so serious on the Pacific coast. On my desk and at my elbow there lies a copy of Business Chronicle, published in Seattle, Wash. A journal that speaks out against racial discrimination. There are letters from business men, bankers, clergymen and world travelers, warning against the race agitation. The logic used in reasoning out the matter applies in principle to our group and its racial barriers. Truly as a nation sows, so will it reap. I note in this matter, that the business world, when in the pursuit of the dollar, becomes color blind. THE SCRIBE. REVIVED, SAYS REPORT LONDON, Nov. 18.—According to the Daily Mail's Dublin correspondent, there is again talk of peace conciliation in Ireland. He declares that the power of the Sinn Fein extremists is broken and that extreme Sinn Feinism is no longer popular, that the moderates are again being listened to and that the country is ripe for a settlement.

The experienced mother knows that she cannot send her child to school in exactly the same clothes that have been worn all summer. School days are too hard on the one hand on the fine muslins and organdies and such, and require on the other hand something a little more dress-up than the rompers, overalls and play smocks worn during the hot vacation mornings. Of course, the first few weeks the weather is still warm enough for summer clothes, so that a few new cotton frocks can be added immediately to the school wardrobe and new fall things started by the home sewer. Where the laundry question does not present an insuperable problem, the well-dressed child wears wash clothes to school all the year round. There are being sponsored, however, for all school wear some new kinds of wash frocks which lessen laundry work but at the same time keep the school frock fresh and clean, something very hard to accomplish with the dark serge and plaids. First of all, there is sateen. This can be had in dark chintz and challis patterns and washes beautifully. Besides, it is warmer than other cottons. Even in the plain dark shades, when of a fine quality, it makes cunning little frocks in pinafore style to be worn over separate wash gulpses of dimity, lawn or pongee. These gulpes can often be made from wormout frocks, which gives this style of pinafore frock a very practical aspect. A little wool embroidery, a bright blanket-stitch around the edge, home appliqued flowers from other colors of sateen and the little dark school frock of navy, black, brown or dark green becomes quite gay. SOLVE BAY WINDOW PROBLEM Curtains and Decorations Which WILL Add to Attractiveness of the Space. In almost every home there are bay windows that perplex the home decorator. There is the round bay window, for example, which requires something more than glass curtains, and yet, because of the closeness of the windows, will not stand elaborate over-hangings. Have two curved rods fitted around the top of the sashes, one for the glass curtains, the outer for the heavier hanging. On the inner one hang net or fine muslin curtains, being careful not to have fullness enough to produce a bulging effect. A narrow width of over-drapery, connected by a straight gathered or plaited valance, should hang at end, stopting at the sill. A window seat may be upholstered in the overdrapery material. Square bays are more difficult. Unless the projecting space is large enough to admit heavy hangings gracefully, they should not be attempted at the individual window. A better plan is to frame the opening of the bay with a single pair of side draperies connected by a valance, just as though it were a wide door opening. A group window may often be similarly treated.—Good Housekeeping. KA, DE THE REVIEW" 225 So SELF-RESPECT I HAVE to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as the days go by, Always to look myself straight in the And hate myself for the things I've done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself, as I come and go It's thinking that nobody else will know The kind of a man I really am, I don't want to dress myself up in sham. I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respect, But here in the struggle for fame and self. That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me; I see what others may never see; I know what others may never know; I never can fool myself, and so Whatever happens I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. —Selected. ON HUNGER STRIKE LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Nov. 18.—A hunger strike at the state penitentiary, now in its sixth day, may save the life of Charles Cooper, Negro, sentenced to be electrocuted next Friday. Cooper, who was convicted of the murder of a white farmer, has refused food since last Friday and as a result Governor Brough has directed the prison physicians to make an examination as to his mental condition. The governor declared he would not allow an insane man to go to the electric chair. We cannot change yesterday—that is quite clear, Or begin on tomorrow until it is here; So all that remains, both for you and me.

We address the following call to you, if you are one of these and want to share in this wealth and respect. It is a duty you owe yourself to thoroughly understand this great offer, which we are making to secure a portion of this wealth and respect now offered in the present reconstructive period, and to demonstrate the capacity of our race for carrying on effective organizations and enterprises, and for the assistance of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in securing a greater leadership among the organizations of the world. t Knowing the need of a great organization in this city, we feel it our duty to make it very plain as to where we stand on how to build a branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Omaha. We wish to invite your confidence and your help in these plans. We know this is a hard thing for you to do—to place any confidence in any promises made to you by anyone in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. The reason for this is very plainly understood. Heretofore, it seems, there has been a misunderstanding between the employee and the boss. For instance, in the past, men have come to you and asked you to organize not for your benefit, but for their own selfish promotion. In other words, they have come to you and asked you to put them on your shoulder so they could reach up and get the desired fruit, supposedly for you, but when you have put them in a position to get this fruit, as a rule, they forget to pass it on down to you, but preserve it all for themselves. Then when you begin to push them off your shoulder, they wonder why. They don't seem to understand that you have become so weak for the want of fruit, that you can't hold them any longer. Then they accuse you of being a race of people who won't get together. No, you don't have to fatten frogs for snakes, and no one should think hard of you for not doing so. Now, what is the remedy for curing this dreadful disease among our people? First make a law that will force the man you elect to pass the fruit on down to the rightful deserter, who put them in the position to get the said fruit. This we propose to do in this way: Any officer or member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People caught accepting any money from any person or persons, or accepting a position or recommending anyone for a position or a job from a political standpoint or view, or any other reason whatsoever, or using his influence or prestige for himself, or any person or persons, without the consent of the Executive Committee. In the event of any officer or member of the Executive Committee violating the above rule, the chairman of the Vigilance Committee will be instructed to file charges with the Executive Committee. If found To the Members of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Citizens of Omaha and Nebraska—Ladies and Gentlemen: We, the undersigned, have associated ourselves together and drawn up the following platform, for which we propose to take a stand during the coming year: Section 1 First—To put forth efforts to secure a home for the N. A. A. C. P., with a permanent office open from 8:30 a. m. to 5.00 p. m., Section 2 Second—To try and instill into the hearts of all the leaders of our race in Omaha the need of a 100 per cent branch in Omaha. Third—We feel the need in Omaha for a better Old Folks' Home, in a better location, one that will be a credit to the community. This we will try to secure. Now, kind f these plans cannot ability, at the very The rally for the trustees that Rev. P. M. Lewis put on for the first Sunday in December is organized in junior clubs, the Abraham Lincoln club, Joseph Morris, captain; the Cooker T.

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH BANQUET A Delightful Affair Which Was One of the Social Activities in Celebration of Entrance of Congregation Into New Church. The annual banquet of Pilgrim Baptist church Monday night was a most delightful affair. The menu was such as to delight the appetite of the most exacting epicure. The fried chicken, which was the piece de resistance of the feast, was prepared only as southern cooks can prepare it and the trimmings which go with this festive fowl were in keeping with the rest. The avidity with which the guests seized upon the choice viands was a compliment indeed to those who had prepared them. During the serving of the meal music was furnished by Chappell's orchestra. A delightful post-prandial program was rendered as follows: Piano solo.

ROSCOE CONKLIN SIMMONS SPEAKS IN DENVER (By the Associated Negro Press) DENVER, Colo., Nov. 18.—"The question before the country is not what are you going to do about the league of nations, but what are you going to do with the American Negro," declared Colonel Roscoe Conklin Simmons in an address delivered to an audience at the Auditorium. Throughout the address the speaker in a genial and unbiased manner analyzed the present conditions in this country, and made a strong plea for greater recognition of the achievements of the race. "There are fourteen million Negroes in America today," said Colonel Simmons. "My mission is to keep these fourteen million American Negroes side by side with the American white man.

We further desire to do away with that class of self-styled leader, only for a few, and his particular set. We want to build up that principle that will lift all men and women up, and put no human being down, but build a lighthouse on a hill, that every man, woman and child will be able to see from early in the morning until late at night. In fact, we desire to make the principle the N. A. A. C. P. stands for so strong for the people, by the people, until it can be felt in the air of this community, by both white and black. We want you, Mr. Workingman and Mr. Common Class Man, to teach the business man, to teach the doctor, to teach the lawyer, to teach the newspaper man, to teach the minister, that they owe you something more besides just taking your money for professional service and business courtesy. We want to teach him that it is his duty to help open the avenues for you to make money as well as for him to take money from you—that it is his duty to help open new avenues for employment.

Mr. Working Man and the Common Class People, you have entrusted your future to the lawyer, to the doctor, to the minister, to the self-styled politician, newspaper man and business man long enough. It is high time that you were taking the job in hand and letting him know what he must do for humanity's sake. In fact, for his own good. For when he helps make things better for the working class of people, he has laid the foundation for a prosperous community in which to live. You may wonder how you can accomplish so many things. At this point, we desire to call your attention to one fact. The world war was won by manpower, not by a few, but by many putting forth the concrete efforts to accomplish the desired intentions. Is it not true that the few make their living off of you and you alone? Why not ask them to do something in return for you? We want you to help us build and instill that principle into the hearts of the people of this community that will live long after the death of any individual, a principle that will be recognized as the authority from the people, by the people, through their representatives, no matter who they may be—that principle that knows no color line, that principle that wishes all men up and no man down, that principle that the N. A. A. C. P. is trying to advocate in this country. You have heard the proposition—what are you going to do about it? Are you willing to help someone that is willing to help you? If so, vote solid for the following platform and some of the men that have promised to work for it. Ninth—We feel that our people do not have their share of employment from a political standpoint. For instance, if we pay one-twelfth of the taxes, we are entitled to one-twelfth of taxes spent for employment, both office and labor. We will work for this until it is accomplished. Section 10 Tenth—We shall consider the organization of a building and loan association for the purpose of assisting and encouraging our people to buy homes, because we feel that it will be a great asset to the race.

New York - Brooklyn - Chicago sentences of from one to twenty-one years. The association had investigated the cases and appealed to you to aid it in securing competent counsel for the accused. You with many others generously responded. We are now informing you of the results of our work since that date and are asking for your continued assistance. The board of directors, the first of December, secured the services of the firm of Murphy & McHaney, prominent white lawyers of Little Rock, Ark., and an eminent colored lawyer, Scipio A. Jones. An appeal to the supreme court was granted in the case of the twelve men condemned to death. On March 29 the Arkansas state supreme court reversed the action of the Phillips county district court in six of the cases and affirmed sentence in the other six cases of the condemned men. These six men were tried again and again convicted. An appeal is now pending in the supreme court of Arkansas. The cases of the other six came finally to the supreme court of the United States, which, on October 11, denied the writ of certiorari. Habea corpus proceedings will have to be brought in the cases of these six men and probably in the cases of the others. While the work on the cases of the condemned men was in progress, the association was engaged in protecting the life of Robert L. Hill, accused of having incited the Negroes to riot in Arkansas. Hill fled to Oklahoma and went from there to Kansas, where he was arrested, the governor of Arkansas demanding his extradition, an extradition which, if it had been granted, would probably have resulted in his being railroaded to death. Extradition was denied by Governor Allen of Kansas. The case was finally disposed of by a complete vindication of Hill, the attorney general of the United States ordering both cases against Hill in the federal court to be dismissed. The association has before it today the following work in the Arkansas cases: Securing commutation of sentence in the cases of the six men whose new trial has been denied, if the efforts in the federal courts fail. Defending the six men, condemned to death, who have been granted a new trial. Defending the cases of the sixty-seven men (thirty of the ninety cases were dismissed) who were sentenced from one to twenty-one years. It is almost a year since you made a contribution of $40 to this Arkansas case. As you see, we are far from through with it, but we count ourselves most fortunate to have secured funds to help us for so long a time. We have shortly, however, to make a payment to our attorneys of $5,000. We are therefore asking if you will not renew your gift of last year. We are confident that this will be the last appeal necessary in this matter. Our first work has been to try to save the lives and the liberty of seventy-nine men who, as the story of the Arkansas disturbances shows, were poor agricultural laborers whom the state had failed to educate and whom the crop share system kept in a state of semi-slavery.
