The speech by the corresponding secretary of the National Equal Rights League was probably unprecedented before a legislature in its non-compromise from the colored American's standpoint. Mr. Trotter was taken to the speaker's desk and introduced to the legislators by Representative George Dyball of Omaha. For his text he took the Lincoln statue in front of the state house. He complimented Nebraska upon bestowing greater honor upon Abraham Lincoln than any other state government, from which he would conclude that it accepted Lincoln as the real teacher of the basic principles of the republic, the true meaning of the government and as the highest authority on what the founders intended and on what was true Americanism. He further concluded from the chiseling of the Gettysburg address, on the background wall of the statue that the state considered it as the best statement of governmental principles. Then he quoted, "Our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal * * * Let us highly resolve that these honored dead may not have died in vain," which made it clear as the sun that Lincoln asserted this republic was based on liberty and equality for all. Hence Nebraska was committed to liberty of all to have a trial when accused of crime, liberty to cast a ballot under the same conditions as others, liberty to take a seat in any coach of any public conveyance STATE WILL PUSH PROSECUTION Recovery of Two More Bodies of Negro Farmhands in River Causes the Authorities to Prepare for Battle. MONTICELLO, Ga., March 28.—State authorities were planning today to push their investigation of alleged peonage practices in Jasper and Newton counties following the recovery of two more bodies of Negroes from the Alcovy river here, making a total of eleven bodies found since the authorities began an investigation of peonage and murder charges against John Williams, a Jasper county farmer. The last two bodies found yesterday were chained together and weighted down with rocks and iron, precisely as were the first three previously recovered from the river. Appointment of Attorney General Denney to take charge of peonage investigations in the two counties was being considered today by Governor Dorsey at the request of Solicitor Campbell of Newton county. Following a coroner's verdict yesterday at an inquest over eight of the bodies, declaring the slain Negroes met death at the hands of Clyde Manning, a Negro employed by Williams, and naming Williams as an accessory, Judge Park of the Ocmulgee circuit was awaiting orders from the governor today to call a special term of the Jasper county superior court and bring the two men before a grand jury. OPEN ELEGANT SUITE OF DENTAL OFFICES Doctors Singleton and Singleton Have Fitted Up at Great Expense One of the Most Complete, Modern, Well-Equipped and Attractively Furnished Dental Partors in City—Said to Be One of Best in Country. Drs. Clarence H. and John Andrew Singleton, dental surgeons, have at a great expense fitted upon one of the most attractive and well-equipped dental rooms in the city. The suite of offices occupy the entire second SLOGAN: THE MONITOR first come first served, equality to hire a room in a hotel, to buy a shave in a barber shop, to buy a meal in a restaurant, or a drink at a drinking counter, or to take a seat in a theater the same as the other fellow. Such is the Lincoln teaching. Mr. Trotter then referred to the world decisive world war with the slogan of world democracy, the essence of which is that all persons and races are to be not only in a country but of it, with freedom to mingle freely in public places and enjoy the congregated pleasures of the people. He said, no other ideal was ever mentioned now but democracy. Next he reminded his hearers that this claimed to be a Christian nation based on the gospel of "love thy neighbor as yourself" and "love ye one another for all ye are brethren." He appealed that no man be so mean as to be unwilling for another man to have a room in a hotel while he had his own room, so full of brute as to object to another eating his meal out of the plates set before him when he himself was eating his out of the plates set before him, but to have enough consistency in religion to recognize the right of another person to a seat in a public amusement place as well as himself. "Let Nebraskans have the moral courage to be true to Lincoln, to Christianity and to democracy, for the peace, harmony and strength of the nation required it, with scorn for none in civil life considered good enough to die in battle for the country, especially of the race that had produced the first martyr to the founding of the country." There was a full gallery and full lobby of all races, with applause, but the legislators seemed somewhat dazed by the frankness of the address. floor of 2311 North Twenty-fourth street and comprise eight rooms, artistically finished in pearl gray and mahogany tints. The suite consists of a large reception room at the head of the stairs, which opens into the office; two operating rooms, between which there is a retiring room; a sterilizing room; an extraction and X-ray room; a laboratory, and a lavatory or bath room. The reception room and business office are carpeted with a rich brown carpet, harmonizing with the shades and rich window drapes, while the floors of the work rooms are covered with battleship linoleum of a lighter shade. The furniture has been chosen with exquisite taste. The latest model X-ray machine, costing nearly $1,000, has been added to their previously quite complete dental equipment. Miss Madeline Roberts is in charge of the business office and acts as dental attendant, her courses in nurse training giving her good qualifications for this position. Persons who are qualified to judge pronounce the dental parlors of the Singleton brothers among the very best in the country. A noteworthy fact in connection with the fitting up of these elegant offices is that nearly all the work has been done by colored mechanics. The plumbing is the work of Levi Jones, the electrical wiring and fixtures were done by William Holts, the painting, paper hanging and decorating are the work of Virgil Williams and Henry W. Black, the carpentry work by Thomas Kelly, the window lettering by J. Hannan. WEALTHY CITIZEN DIES (By The Associated Negro Press) LANCASTER, Ky., March 24 —One of the wealthiest Negroes in this part of Kentucky, Willis Turner, died at his home near Hackley last week. He was highly respected by all classes of citizens and at the time of death was rated among the wealthiest citizens of Hackley. He owned a plantation of 300 acres besides a deal of valuable real estate here. He was buried in Lancaster cemetery. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor DRS. SINGLETON & SINGLETON, DENTAL SURGEONS, have moved into their new location at 2411 North Twenty-fourth Street, have installed modern and up-to-date Dental Offices and are prepared to render service with all the latest scientific methods and appliances. Also skilled dental attendant. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to inspect our suite of offices. "Courtesy and Service" is our motto CONSTRUCTIVE ENTERPRISES The Monitor Continues Its Interrupted Series of Articles on Various Business Ventures Conducted by Our People—North Twenty-fourth Street Still Occupies Attention. Last week the series of articles on business enterprises was interrupted for want of space. This week they are resumed. And a word of explanation. The intelligent reader will perceive that we are taking the city by sections and will reach all in due course of time. One or two Lake street business men were rather "hurt" because The Monitor had overlooked them. Of course, it was intentional, so they thought. But, bless your dear hearts, be patient—we will get to you in time. The Monitor prides itself upon being a fair-minded newspaper and plays no favorites. Starting from Twenty-fourth and Blondo, block twenty, we have another lunch room, for we must eat. It is a neat little place conducted by Mrs. H. Slaughter, who has a liberal patronage. Passing on in the same block there is the enterprising North End Coal and Express Company, of which Mr. A. F. Allen is proprietor, and whose motto is, "Always on the Job." For amusement and recreation, just north of this place is the Capitol Pool Hall and Barber Shop, Charles South, proprietor. But, wait a minute, we must go back to Blondo street. Just west of Twenty-fourth on Blondo are the beauty parlor of Mesdames South and Johnson, who believe in advertising and whose pleasant faces are well known to Monitor readers. Now back on Twenty-fourth street. North of the Capitol is the well-equipped and always busy tailoring and cleaning establishment of J. H. Holmes, who also believes in advertising, and this as well as the fact that he please accounts for his good business. An important part of the Holmes tailoring establishment is Mrs. Holmes, the Grand Pre Soft Drink Parlor and Cigar Store and the Midget Lunch complete the business enterprises in block twenty. Passing into block twenty-one, you have a chance to get a meal to give you strength for the journey, for there is the De Luxe Cafe; adjoining this is the well-equipped, up-to-date and popular Jenkins Barber Shop, the pleasant proprietor of which is P. H. Jenkins, whose advertisement in The Monitor brought him trade from away down in Alabama. Ask him about it Mrs. Dow a very pleasant and competent young woman, is manicurist in this shop. And by the way, this building was recently purchased by Dr. Hawkins, a young physician who came to Omaha recently from Fort Scott, Kans, and has done the sensible thing of becoming a member of the Omaha Medical Association, the only member of his race. The Monitor is informed, who has joined this association. His offices are upstairs in this building. A pool hall, Walter Craig, proprietor, is the last business place in this block. Here our northward trip among the business enterprises must end for this week. The Monitor here desires to state that we would like to see some of the money which is invested by our people in pool halls used in other channels, other lines of business. The same applies to lunch rooms and cafes. But all these are business ventures and show a desire upon the part of our people to get into the business and commercial world. They manifest the right spirit to do something constructive. GARVEY MOVEMENT GROWING ASHEVILLE, N. C., March 24.—A local division of the Marcus Garvey Movement has been organized here. The division has a membership of 111 and was organized by Captain Gaps OMAHA, NEBRASKA, MARCH 31, 1921 JOHN T.

CALL PEONAGE MENACE TO NATION'S ECONOMIC FUTURE Greatest Cause of Unrest Next to Lynching—Negro Association Telegraphs President Harding and Georgia Governor on Georgia Cases NEW YORK, March 29—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public telegrams sent to President Harding and Governor Dorsey of Georgia in which the statement is made that the murder of eleven Negroes on the Williams plantation in Georgia does not constitute an isolated case of peonage in the south but that a number of cases have been called to the attention of the department of justice in recent years. The Arkansas riots of 1919 and the burning at stake in January of this year of Henry Lowery, are laid to the same cause and it is stated in the telegram that the practice of peonage is widespread in southern states, especially in the Mississippi delta region. It is called the greatest cause of unrest next to lynching. In the telegram to the governor of Georgia, he is called upon not only to exercise his full power to bring the offenders in the present cases to justice, but to proceed against the widespread system of debt slavery which prevails in his state. WILL OBSERVE HEALTH WEEK (By The Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE, Ala., March 24—National Negro Health week begins here April 4 and continues through the balance of that week. Many notable people will participate in the elaborate program. It is expected that the meet will be a big success. Announcement FELLOWSHIPS ESTABLISHED AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, D.

PHILIP THE DEACON The Easter day services at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon were all well attended from the early Eucharist at 6:30, at which hour the church was comfortably filled, until the Children's Vesper service at 6 p.m. The altar was beautiful with its festal white frontal, its many lights and its adornment of lilies, roses and carnations. At the 11 o'clock service the music was not elaborate, but worshipful and well rendered, the sold parts in the anthem being sung by Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston. The sermon topic was on "Witnesses of the Resurrection," in which was stressed the fact that the risen Christ appeared first unto the many rather than to the crowd, because great missions are accomplished by the few rather than by the many. Crowds are fickle. Individuals convinced of the truth are they who carry on the work of conversion. At the 6 o'clock service Mary Ellen Annis, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. L. E. Britt, was baptized, Emery R. Smith, Miss Lutie M. Bryant and Mrs. Mary E. Overall being the sponsors. The children were catechised and addressed by Father Williams. William Monroe Trotter gave a brief but effective address on the meaning of the Easter egg as the symbol of life; and the superintendent, George N. W. Bullock, spoke briefly of the objects of the children's Easter offering. Easter cards and eggs were distributed to the children.

With an essay, short and to the point, Gertrude Whitcomb, 12 years old, 2238 Ohio street, and sixth grade pupil in Sacred Heart school, won the first prize and $10 offered by N. C. Allen, divisional superintendent of the Burlington railroad, in connection with the traffic safety committee, Chamber of Commerce. Pauline Wisdom, 14 years old, 2122 Locust street, and pupil in the eighth grade, was awarded second place and $5, and Laurene Hogan, 15 years old, colored, student in the eighth grade, Long school, won third place and $3. LAURENE HOGAN Kathryn McEvoy, 1905 Wirt street, a pupil of the eighth grade, Sacred Heart school, won honorable mention. The essays submitted were all on the subject, "How to Prevent Automobile Accidents at Railroad Crossings," and was open to all school children of the city. More than 100 essays were submitted in the contest. Gertrude Whitcomb and Pauline Wisdom, winners of first and second places, wrote prose, but Laurene Hogan, the colored girl, versified her ideas of how people may prevent being killed or killing others by carelessness at railroad crossings. "Stop, Look and Listen" "To avoid accidents at railroad crossings the driver of a machine should slow down so that he can stop at once if he should see a train approaching, and should be careful to look both up and down the track before attempting to cross. Should he have to wait for a train pass, he should not cross the tracks until he is sure there is no other train coming from the opposite direction that would APPOINTED CITY PHYSICIAN (By the Associated Negro Press) WILMINGTON, Del., March 24— Dr. Henry Clay Stevens has been appointed one of the city's vaccine physicians at large. He is the first Negro to receive this signal honor in the state of Delaware. His appointment was procured through the efforts of Councilman Dr. John O. Hopkins. The colored people of the city are much pleased over the appointment. IS CURIOSITY IN TEXAS TOWN (By The Associated Negro Press) COMANCHE, Texas, March 24—This town was turned topsy-turvy recently when a Negro stepped off an inbound train and announced that he would have to stay in our midst until he could make money enough to pay his fare to Teague, a place about 100 miles south of here. He is the first Negro to be seen in this burg since 1887. He was a genuine curiosity to many of Comanche's citizens.— FARMERS EXTENSION COURSES SUCCESSFUL (By The Associated Negro Press) NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 24.— Successful extension courses for Negro farmers and their families were held in several sections of this state during the past year.

"Should there be a flagman at the crossing, the driver should wait for the signal from the flagman to either stop or go ahead. Should the flagman not give you a signal at once, you should sound your klaxon in order to attract his attention, and by so doing he will understand that you want the right-of-way. "Do not be so unreasonable as to try to speed across when a train is approaching. 'If you do not hear Reason, she will rap your knuckles.'—Franklin." An Essay in Couplets It seemed to be more interesting and more fun to Laurene to write to put her essay into rhyme. This is the advice she gives motorists in regard to the best way to cross the railroad crossing: "Hello there, friend John! Won't you come take a ride, Just over the tracks and down the lake-over," "Very well," answered he, "I will gladly jump in. On a fine day like this I am there for a spin." Now let us observe these joyriders gay, Skimming along in a light-hearted way; Not far in the distance comes a train at good speed. But the drivers drive on and do not give heed. They meet; there's a wreck; their lives are snuffed out; The train is derailed, all aboard are turned out; Dear reader, allow me to say this to you: Think quickly, act wisely in all things you do. 'Oer tracks never venture by the breadth of a hair; When lives auto and all you can easily spare. For you know at some crossings great danger knives near; Then stop! look! listen! till the signal you hear. Do not drive the crossing hasn't any bell, Just what you should do is very easy to tell. Do not drive over until you make sure, Think first if you're hurt what pains you'll endure. messings, children of were were Pauline second genie Ho- dled her went be- tary care- railroad machine stop ain ap- felt to back be- ould he pass, he he will he coming it would And the money you'll spend for good medical care; All because you were reckless and didn't play it out. Why boast about speeding in front of a train? You and your fliver may not win the fight. The chances are slim on getting across. You rue it up, I'm sure, and your auto is lost. In the black never drive without any lights. Or if they are on, please dim them just right. To the drunken speed demon just let me suggest: Leave off use of liquor and fast driving— if you're killed or you're injured the railroad you blame. And you and your people will make a large claim. That you were the cause we see is quite true. So listen, I pray, to this message for you: Drive a car act wisely, and keep your wits cool. A fliver's unsafe when the driver's a fool. Live and learn, as all must, a safe motto: Stop short, look and listen, as any man DIG UP SIX BODIES ON PLANTATION ATLANTA, Ga., March 26.—Bodies of six Negroes were found today on the Jasper county plantation of John Williams by department of justice agents led by Clyde Manning, a Negro, who was employed by Williams, and who, according to the authorities, has confessed he aided Williams in the killing of the Negroes. The bodies found today brought the total discovered in connection with the peonage investigation in Jasper county up to nine. The department of justice agents announced tonight that they would continue the search for two more bodies, said by Manning to have been thrown into the Alcovy river. One of the bodies found today was taken from the Alcovy river. It had been weighted down and chained. The other five—were dug from shallow graves, the heads of four of the Negroes having been crushed. The fifth Negro, officers said, had been shot to death. Williams, owner of the plantation on which the bodies were found, is in jail on a state warrant charging murder, and his three sons were arrested today.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE A DUTY AND AN OPPORTUNITY OUR people have a plain duty and a supreme opportunity before them next Tuesday at the primary election. That duty is to go to the polls and vote solidly for John T. McDonald for city commissioner. It is a supreme opportunity to nominate one of our own for an important elective office. It is the supreme opportunity to show our determination to meet the challenge to demonstrate that we can as a people stand together on some one person, some one issue. In the fact that only one candidate has filed and be a young man of clean life, good character and ability, no one can have the slightest shadow of excuse for failing to vote for him. Whoever else we may help nominate and among those who have filed there are several good men whose record and attitude merit our support, no man or woman of our race in Omaha should fail to vote and work enthusiastically for the nomination of John T. McDonald for city commissioner. It is a duty and an opportunity. The Monitor urges all our people to go to the polls early next Tuesday and vote for McDonald. THE spring season has come and with it cleaning time. Our people have always taken pride in seeing that their premises were cleaned up and made attractive. We are sure that this year will prove no exception to the rule and while our home-owners are doing their duty towards making their homes and their surroundings sanitary and attractive we hope that the city commissioners will do their duty in improving the localities in which many of our people reside. BARBARISM OR CIVILIZATION —WHICH SHALL IT BE A STORY of wholesale murder comes from Georgia which shows the barbarism still extant in certain sections of the United States of America. The bodies of three black Americans, commonly called Negroes, were found chained together and weighted down with rocks in the Alcoy river near Monticello. This led to an investigation. The result has been the discovery of two more bodies similarly chained and weighted down in the river and the unearthing of six other bodies showing that they have the victims of murder on the Jasper county plantation of John Williams, who has been taken into custody for peonage. By the alleged confession of Clyde Manning, evidently an ignorant and subservient black slave of Williams and who did Williams' bidding in killing these unfortunate victims were murdered to prevent their escape from peonage or bearing testimony to its practice by Williams. The outcome exists today in many places in the south. This is an indisputable fact. Murders and unspeakable outrages are being constantly committed against black Americans in that section. Barbarism reigns in many places in the south not among the blacks but among the whites of that section. The Monitor hopes that the Jasper county horror will so arouse the decent, justice-leaving white people of the south that peonage and the unmentionable atrocities committed against a long-suffering people will cease. The cheapness with which the lives of black persons is regarded in the southland is due to the belief that they are only Negroes, or "miggers" and not men. Is it possible to change this sentiment in the south and to prevent its spreading in the north? If it is not, then may God have mercy upon the United States of America. She is doomed. "Ichabad" is written across our national sky; for civilization dies when and where barbarism flourishes. TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE fact that the bodies of eleven Americans of color who have been murdered on a farm worked by convict labor under Georgia laws, because they intended to seek relief from slavery through the courts would seem to clearly indicate that there exists in Georgia and other sections of the south involuntary slavery in the form of peonage. It is expressly forbidden by that instrument. The Monitor therefore respectfully requests Attorney General Danubechik to make provision through the department of justice into the labor and vagrancy laws of the state of Georgia and adjacent states to ascertain whether they execute the Third and Fourteenth Articles of the Constitution. CLEANING UP and furthermore to make a thorough and sweeping investigation of the charge of the general practice of peonage in the southern states of which this crime in Jasper county brings to light a specific case. Here is work of an imperative nature for the attorney general, which we feel confident he will undertake. LINCOLN. NEB. Hon. William Monroe Trotter and Mr. L. F. Baldwin arrived in the city last Tuesday. This was Mr. Trotter's first appearance in Lincoln for the purpose of addressing his own race in a meeting. The affair was held under the auspices of Mt. Zion Baptist church and was held in McKinley school auditorium Tuesday night. A miscellaneous program was rendered by local talent as follows: "Stars and Stripes," lead by Williams' orchestra, audience accompanying; Invocation, Rev. H. W.

Stanley, Izetta Malone, Ollie Colly and C. C. Christman; Short Talk by Mr. L. T. Baldwin, manager for Mr. Trotter, who in turn announced that Rev. H. W. Botts would introduce the speaker of the evening, which he did in a most unique manner. Mr. Trotter, after a few preliminary remarks, told the audience of his adventures in getting to Paris, France, which as he pictured it to his hearers, was a mighty rocky travel. At close or address, Miss Opal Ashford sang a solo. The audience nearly filled the lower floor of the auditorium and was very appreciative, judging from aplaeuse. After the meeting, many went forward shaking hands and congratulated the speaker. The affair was a booming success. Mr. David Oliver acted as toastmaster. Mr. I. B. Smith spent Thursday and Friday in Kansas City, Mo., where he was one of the speakers at the Maunford Thursday celebration of the Scottish Rite Masons. Mr. J. E. Jeltz was called to Kansas City, Mo., last Thursday on account of his mother's illness, returning Tuesday. A number of citizens entertained Mr. W. M. Trotter and Mr. L. F. Baldwin at luncheon Wednesday night at the Dunbar. Short talks were made by many present, to which Mr. Trotter responded. Mr. Trotter was invited to attend the Scottish Rite celebration of Maundy night, who after the exercises gave them one of his keynote speeches touching segregation, giving much information along those lines. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Clark entertained the Utopian club at their home last Thursday night. Mrs. C. R. Johnson is confined to her bed with illness Mrs. James Shelby has been able to be up and around the house. Mr. Z. Johnson is mending. Mr. W. M. Trotter, editor and publisher of the Boston Guardian, addressed the Nebraska legislature last Thursday afternoon, and took for his subject "Doctrines of Abraham Lincoln," picturing the basic principles that Lincoln stood for and taught to DO YOU WANT $2.50? $4.95 Complete assortment of new Skirts—good values.

At other churches the pastors preached extra sermons and Sunday schools rendered programs to appreciation of those present. An auto load of Lincolnites comprising David Oliver, Mrs. E. J. Griffin Mrs. M. Williams, Mrs. E. C. Stepheny Mrs. Alma Wiley, Mrs. Virgil Clark and Rev H. W.
