Not Permitted To Remove F And Therefore Is Compelled To Re The Unscrupulous Land Owners. (By J. D. Sayers.) Native of Louisiana In New York Evening Post) That a condition of peonage worse than the old chattel slavery exists to this day in the South is not very well known in the North and is surprisingly ignored in the South itself. The writer is a native of Louisiana reared in an outlying agricultural section where the Negro population is three times the whites. Having grown up with the peonage system, I naturally became familiar with it as few men could who might go there from the North or even from Southern cities to study the conditions. Very recent visits and close observation, purposefully made, convince me that conditions of peonage are nearly as common and as much condoned in my home State and generally throughout the cotton raising sections of the whole South as during my childhood, over twenty years ago. How Peonage Starts Practically all the Negroes either work for wages or work on “shares”—that is, the owner furnishes the Negro and his family land, animals and tools with which to work and the tenant gives the landlord half his crop for the use of the land work, animals, and tools. As soon as the young Negro marries he begins working for some land owner under these conditions. He never has enough cash ahead to buy everything in the landlord's house and his family need; therefore he must go to the landlord for these things. The landlord either has a plantation store or has arrangements made with the nearby village or small town store to credit the Negro and charge the account to the landlord. In the majority of cases the Negro is uneducated and unable to keep an accurate account of what he buys. He simply trusts the landlord. Even if he has an education and keeps an account, he is not permitted to company books with those kept by the landlord. The account as kept by the latter is the one the settlement is based on at the end of the year when the crop is sold. If the Negro has bought five bacon middlings for 40 cents a pound he is charged up with fifteen or so, and at a much higher price than the regular store price. He may have brought a barrel of flour, but he must pay for two or three at extortionate prices. He may have ploughed in rocky fields bare footed to save having to buy more than one pair of shoes, but he finishes at the end of the year his memorial has played a trick and he has really, according to the store pair or three pairs of healthy priced shoes. His wife may have gone through the year with two chean calico dresses and find in December that she has, in fact, dressed quite sumptuously during the year—according to the infallible store record. Purchasing Negro Debts At the end of the year the Negro GEORGIA COURT SOON TO PROBE "MURDER FARM" CASES Atlanta, Ga., April 28.—With evidence in the possession of government officials to the effect that 18 were slain on the John S. Williams "murder farm" and that indications pointed to a death toll of more than 20, it was authoritatively learned on Thursday night that the scope of investigations into peonage conditions in Jasper and several other Georgia counties will be considerably widened by the early entrance of southern federal court officials. Owing to the fact that Jasper county is in the jurisdiction of the southern district federal court, its grand jury is in a position to return stronger indictments against the elder Williams and his three sons, Marvin, Huland and LeRoy, according to Hooper Alexander, district attorney of the northern district. The federal grand jury of this district can return indictments against Jasper county violators only for coming to Atlanta and taking Negroes back to the farm to be held in peonage. MANNING TO FACE JURY IN NEWTON EARLY NEXT MONTH Monticello, Ga., April 28.—(Special.)—Clyde Manning, "boss" of John S. Williams' "murder farm," will go on trial for his life in Covington early in May. With the Jasper county grand jury recessing here late Tuesday afternoon to continue its investigation of the Eugene Hamilton lynching and other killings on Wednesday, this announce- SLOGAN: THE MONITOR may decide that he could do better in some other locality and want to move. He and the landlord make a settlement. The Negro's part of the crop is worth so much. The good bookkeeping landlord's account against the Negro is always considerably more, nevertheless. If some other landlord likes the Negro's style of work well enough to pay the excess account, he can have the Negro starting the latter in with a good sized beginning of debt at the first of the year. Frequently the buying landlord bargains secretly with the Negro, securing a son of split in the excess account charged against the Negro. Some years ago, soon after the enactment of the Federal anti-necronate statute, some land owners in Florida were convicted under that law, and attention was attracted from all sections of the country. People living in far parts of this country were shocked out of their satisfied state of mind about this being a land wholly free; but they recovered from their shock with the comforting belief that the new slavery had been deservingly wiped out at one blow by the paternal Federal Government. It was not so and still is not so. Bought Prison Release I knew three brothers in my home community in Clalborne Parish, Louisiana, who spent thousands of dollars to save themselves from terms in Federal prison about fourteen years, as a result we left in poverty as a result and the son of the third inherited the plantation of his father, and a year ago—I personally saw and know the exact truth of this statement—he was holding Negroes in practical bondage on the strength of watered accounts in the same old way. Little less than a year ago a friend of mine was threatened with death at Caldwell, Burleson County, Texas, for daring to raise his voice against the shameful system of peonage along the Brazos River in that section. I lived for several years in Texas and knew that the standard system of peonage as practiced generally in the South is prevalent through the years. Wherever Negroes are permitted residence—they are not allowed to live in various portions of the State. It would seem that what is needed to bring about abolition of great evils in this country is not new laws always for we more often have those in sufficient quantity, but a wholesome, indignant public opinion aroused to such a point that slow, unaggressive Federal agents are spurred out of their sleepiness and forced to go aggressively and consistently about their duties of finding infractions of the laws they have sworn to actively enforce. If the Federal officers in the South should use the same initiative in running, down violations of the anti-peonage laws as prohibition enforcement officers use in enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment, peonage in this good land would beat John Barleycorn into final oblivion.

Brand of the Stone Mountain circuit, added considerable interest to the general situation. Despite the fact that the solicitor of the Newton county superior court has frequently stated that he would try the man whose confession involved John S. Williams in the "murder farm" atrocities, reports have been current both here and in Covington that the slayer would not face a jury until the latter part of this year or that his case would not prossed.

To Voters Who Seek Information and Guidance. Hundreds of Omaha Voters Look to The Monitor for Help and Guidance ...as to How They Shall Vote. We do not mean by this that they slavishly follow our advice, for our people are learning to do a lot of thinking for themselves and to act accordingly. We would not have it otherwise. They seek information and weigh arguments which may help them arrive at a wise decision. Less and less are we, as a people, being swayed by emotion, passion or prejudice. We are reading more, digesting what we read and thinking more. We are looking to our own periodicals to furnish us with reliable information and to guide us in our actions. Monitor readers rely upon our honesty, sincerity and reliability in giving them information and value highly our fearlessness in stating, standing for and advocating those things which we believe to be for the best interest of our people whom we primarily serve and for the community and nation at large. For this reason hundreds of our local readers, and The Monitor is read by practically our entire population, look to us for guidance in helping them determine how they shall vote. It would be cowardly to dodge, sidestep or shirk this responsibility. We have said that The Monitor is for candidates (1) who have shown a disposition to be fair to our people; or whom we have good reason to believe, will, in the event of their election, be fair to our people. (2) Who have proven themselves to be honest, capable and efficient public officials. A SQUARE DEAL FOR OUR PEOPLE IS WITH US THE FIRST CONSIDERATION. This, from our viewpoint, is the Paramount issue. By a square deal for our people we mean that when we have helped elect candidates to office, and men and women are being given employment by these successful candidates our own people, where they are competent to do the work required, should be given a fair and reasonable share of these appointments. This is SIMPLE JUSTICE, nothing else. This is our reasonable demand and no man with any sense of honor or justice can deny that this is only reasonable and fair. It is not right to give employment to every other group of citizens and insistently and persistently overlook our people and expect us to take it patiently and continually elect men who ignore our just claims. And we are entitled to something besides porters' and laborers' jobs. We want a fair share I these, but no monopoly of them, and we want clerkships, typists and other positions also, not based upon the fact that we are colored people, merely or chiefly, but upon our competency and citizenship. This, then, is the rule that has guided The Monitor in selecting and commending to its readers the following ticket: J. DEAN RINGER, Republican, Present Police Commissioner, W. G. URE, Republican, Present Commissioner, Department of finance; HARRY B. ZIMMAN, Republican, Present Commissioner, fire department; ROY N.

Hectored and handicapped in many ways he has made good. We admire a manly, plucky and fair fighter and that's what Ringer has proved himself to be. And what of his attitude to our people? Has he given us a SQUARE DEAL, which, please bear in mind, should be with our voters THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE. The answer is an unqualified YES. He has appointed FOUR COLORED MEN, as police officers and promoted one to the detective force. These are Ransom, Wright, Dudley and Buford, the last being promoted to the detective force.

Penn of Omaha, Nebraska to Dr. James E. White of St. Louis, Missouri. Miss Madree Penn who is well known to Monitor readers was formerly Associate-editor and office manager of The Monitor and is now President of The Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, in whose interest she has been traveling for the past several months. She is a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Alpha Chapter. Dr. James E. White, at the time of his call for a service in the recent world-war was practicing medicine in Sedalia, Missouri, of which place he was City Physician. Shortly after the demobilization of the army he re-en- ered the practice of his profession, locating at St. Louis, Missouri, where he enjoys a lucrative practice and is a prominent factor in the civic and fraternal affairs of his city and state. Dr. White is a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and is one of the few physicians of our group who is a member of the National Society of Eugenic Research. The couple first met in 1910 at Howard University, Washington, D. C., where they were both students. The marriage was a quiet affair and took place September 4, 1920 at Clayton, Missouri, and did not interrupt the itinerary of the bride who for the past several months has been traveling in the interest of the Kaffin Chemical Laboratories whose interests she will continue to promote from her new home. Dr. and Mrs. White take up their residence in St. Louis and are holding an "at home" for their friends on May 15th.

Hampton, Va.—That the Negro is entitled to equal and exact justice before the law and that the white man must accord him that justice or be false to all Anglo-Saxon tradition was the opinion expressed by the Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, former Governor of North Carolina, in his address delivered at the closing session of the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute, over which Principal J. E. Greg presided. Governor Bickett said: "Though only fifty-three years old, Hampton Institute has achieved the unique and noble distinction of becoming at once a fountain and a shrine. From it are constantly flowing streams that make waste places glad, and from every quarter of the continent weary pilgrims come to Hampton Institute for a new birth of courage, faith and love. tator comes around, say to him: "Get the behind me, Satan." "Let me make a candid and sollen confession. The whites in the South, and the North, well, do not always deal justly by the Negro. We sometimes do him wrong—and God knows I am ashamed of it,—but violence will not hasten the day of your deliverance and hate will always hinder. The God of your redemption will come, not in the mighty wind, not in the earthquake, and not in fire, but in a 'still, small voice' that will trouble the white man's conscience and drive sleep from his eyes, until he gives your people the fullest measure of justice. The one safe path for the Negro to follow is the path that leads straight to the door of the white man's conscience. Some day every plea that is born of wisdom and justice will be allowed." "The Negro who has to get an order from a white man before he can buy a sack of meal or a side of meat is almost as much a slave as the man was who had to get a permit before he could leave his master's land. The Negro as a race will not travel far until his credit in store or in bank is as good as that of the white man. "All during my administration the hand of executive clemency knew no color line. I opened the prison doors to more than four hundred Negroes. During my administration I preached against lynching and I fought lynching. I rushed troops to protect prisoners, leaders of mobs were indicted and convicted, and I personally walked into a mob and persuaded men to abandon their purpose.

There were six men who were willing to have the Senate vote on the bill. There were eight who were unwilling to have the bill come before the Senate body. Senator Barr of Allegheny county was bitten in his attack upon Negroes and Negro leaders. His words were the words of a Georgia cracker. His feeling ran high, and he characterized some of the Negro delegates as liars. The eight who voted against us are: Snyder, DeWitt, Hackett, Baldwin, McConnell, Miller, J. Summerfield, Clark and Whitten. The six who voted to report the bill out are: Calus, Vare, Eyre, Service, McClintock and Schantz. A resolution to take the bill from the committee was lost 39 to 9 and the fight for civil rights ended for this session. CREATE BUREAU FOR THE HANDLING OF NEGRO LABOR Washington, April 28.—Negro labor difficulties and collection of statistics bearing upon Negro employment generally will be dealt with through a single labor department office, as a result of re-organization and consolidation effective Wednesday, announced by Secretary Davis. The former bureau of Negro economics has been made an adjunct of the general conciliation division, under direction on Phil H. Brown of Kentucky. He succeeds Dr. George Y. Haines, and in addition becomes commissioner of conciliation charged especially with the duty of negotiating with Negro labor in case of disputes requiring federa, intervention. The statistical work begun by the bureau will be continued under the new incumbent.

The whites in the South, and in the North as well, do not always deal justly by the Negro.

Era of Negro Prosperity Dr. Talcott Williams of New York, former director of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, paid a warm tribute to Governor Bickett's "great deliverance of truth, justice, and hope." Dr. Williams, in his address on "Economic Independence through Industry," stated to the Hampton graduates that the economic conditions of Negroes are better than they were before and that wages will probably not be reduced more than one third. Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard University, who presented the graduating class (42 boys and 40 girls) to the Hampton Institute board of trustees, of which he is the first vice president, declared that the discovery of General Armstrong was that education meant bringing the whole boy, the whole girl to committing the whole life to the service of the world. The creed of Hampton has brought before us the three-fold nature of education—to think straight, to act promptly, to open the heart to the persuasion of love. No student graduates from Hampton, however much handwork he or she may do, who does not reinforce that handwork, with the cultural studies, that give decision, defineness, and facility to the mind. ANITA PATTI BROWN SINGS TO LORGE AUDIENCE Zion Baptist church was packed to the doors last Monday night to hear the renowned prima donna, Arita Patti Brown. It was this distinguished artist's second visit to Omaha and she captivated her audience from the start. She presented a well-balanced and well-chosen program, consisting of such numbers as Oberon, aria, by Weber; Norwegian Love Song, by Saar; La Traviant; and other classical and popular selections. Miss Nathalle Doxey, her accompanist, is also a talented elocutionist and recited Mad Marie, Mrs Stella Craig also recited. The U. B. F. Band played a selection. THE FREITA SHAW RECITAL The recital given by Miss Freita Shaw last Friday night at St. Paul's Presbyterian church was an artistic success. The audience was well pleased by Miss Shaw's rendition of several classical numbers and Negro spirituals, which she interpreted with great dept of feeling. She was ably assisted by Miss Teressa Liverpool, who contributed an instrumental number; Mrs. Fannie Russell, who excited "The Leper," and Miss Otis Watson who was Miss Shaw's accompanist.

Surely, the consciences of men are being awakened to a sense of justice. "FREE" BRIDGE MAY 3rd we are to be called upon to vote on the proposition of a so-called "free" bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs. Vote "No" on the proposition. It is simply saddling additional taxes upon the people of Omaha without commensurate benefits to the city. Let those who use the bridge pay for it. The arguments which have been appearing as advertisements in this paper are sound. Read carefully and act accordingly. NO DISAGREEMENT THEY are telling us that we must elect commissioners for the city of Omaha who will not disagree and wrangle. Nonsense. It would be a calamity to elect men who will always agree on everything. There would be no progress. We want men with convictions of what they believe to be for the best interests of the city and who have courage to stand up for what they believe to be best, surrendering only when they are shown "the better way." HOME IMPROVEMENT A most commendable movement to have our people beautify their homes has been started. The idea is to encourage our people everywhere, no matter how humble may be their surroundings, to plant grass seed and flowers and make their homes attractive. Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston as chairman of the committee on hygiene and sanitation, is actively at work encouraging the people to make their home surroundings cleanly and sanitary as well as beautiful. It is a splendid movement and will bring good results. Let everybody do his share and let us see who will have the prettiest neighborhood. VOTE AS YOU THINK BEST. To hear the advocates for the two respective "slates" in the field one would be lead to believe that unless its particular slate is chosen Omaha is doomed to destruction. This of course is sheer nonsense. Believe it not. Whatever set of men may be chosen the city government will continue to function. The Mortor has faith enough in our citizens to believe that every man who is elected will strive to do his duty as he sees it for the best interest of the city. Much talk about "Ringerism," "Dennisonism," "Dahlmanism," etc., is more political pyrotechnics or fireworks, incidents of spirited campaigns. Vote according to your conscience and convictions and don't damn the other fellow who does the same thing. Make Omaha a larger and better city.

"REALIZATION" O Mother dear, when I was but a child How oft you gently stroked my tousled head With trembling fingers, tho you bravely smiled, Your eyes were deep with bitter tears unshed. I oft wondered why you worried so, But now, I know. Do you remember how I used to wake From midnight slumber and beside me there Long hours were sacred with your fervent prayer? How swift the seasons pass on phantom wings! Time roughly wakes us from pleasant dream, Fair Youth no longer tender lyric sings,— The Man must learn to lie, to cheat, to scheme. The child's true heart cannot believe it so; But now, I know. Aye, I have fought to keep my vision clear, And held my own although the task was hard, For dauntless spirit and a faith sincere, Contempt and envy was a world's reward; Yet deep within hope shines with steady glow, Because I know— Success is when you've done your level best, And played the game and always played it square; Then be content to leave with God the rest, Thus build your world and seek a refuge there.

Dean Ringer, the head of the Police Department, has given the Negro a square deal in his appointments. W. G. Ure, also, has treated Negro citizens of Omaha fearily in his appointments. Father John A. Williams will tell you that Judge Sutton was fair to the Negro when he was on the bench as a district judge. You are just as interested in clean government, a police department free from the control of vicious interests, and impartial enforcement of the law, as any other citizen, and that is what Ringer, Ure, Sutton, and then associates on this ticket, are pledged to give you during the next three years. The attitude of the vicious forces opposing this ticket toward the Negro race is best measured by their actions at the time of the court house riot. General Leonard Wood and John W. Towle, foreman of the grand jury, agree that an organized revolt against law and order was responsible for the riot. At that time the worst element in the city, and the same element that is now supporting the opposition candidates, was ready to bring on a race war and sacrifice the lives of scores of innocent people, if by so doing they could have regained control of the police department. What they failed to do then by violence they are trying to do on May 3 at the ballot box. Do you want Omaha to return to the days when you were exploited and used by men and interests who cared nothing for you? Are you going to vote for men who are ready to sacrifice you to further their own selfish and vicious purposes, or are you going to vote for men who will give you a square deal and make Omaha a safe city in which you and your children may live and prosper? We believe you will vote for a clean city, for law enforcement, and for Ringer, Ure, Sutton, and their associates on this ticket. Don't scatter your votes. One vote for any candidate on the Gang slate will mean a vote against every one of the Good Government candidates. Vote For These Seven LINCOLN, NEB.

CIVIC ACTIVITIES (By Grace Morris Hutten—Commissioner of Colored Commercial Club). A troop of Boy Scouts has been organized at St. John's Church. Dr. H. S. Hawkins is chairman of the Troop Committee. Mr. Griffin has been appointed Scout Master. It has been very encouraging to the friends instrumental in organizing this troop to receive so many offers of assistance from capable men to help make this troop a grand success. James Jewell, Henry Gordon and Jesse Hutten. scout aides of Dr. Craig Morris, scoutmaster of Troop 23, have been very helpful in organizing this troop. This is the spirit we would like to see not only among boy scouts but also all other organizations working along the same lines.

We are certain this will be greatly appreciated by our people. The next meeting will be May 8 at which time a good speaker will be on hand. It is hoped that every citizen interested in the improvement of his neighborhood will come out to this meeting. TROOP 23 A number of scouts from Troop 23 spent a very busy and useful week end at Camp Gifford, learning more of woodcraft and campercraft. The scouts planted a tree for troop 23. We know with what pleasure the troop will attend to this tree and noting its growth and development. During the afternoon the boys were guided by their good friend Mr. Cole to the higher hills where they listened to a wonderful lecture upon bird life, where they had the pleasure of observing more of "their little brothers of the air." After a busy day the boys saround the camp fire listening to the wonderful stories of famous scouts. Reeds had been made during the day by the scouts and many beautiful melodies were produced by these. After a busy day the boys sat sleeping in the open, the scouts came home early Sunday morning, full of praise for the camp and enthusiasm in the Boy Scout work. CARD OF THANKS.

SUTTON TO THE YELLOW CARD To the Colored Voters of Omaha: My political enemies are circulating a yellow card among the colored people containing campaign lies intended to prejudice the colored voters of Omaha. I wish to deny the statements contained on said card as being absolutely false and untrue and circulated for the sole purpose of trying to prejudice the colored voters against me. The same persons who brought about the race riot in Omaha by telling lies about a poor colored man in jail are now engaged in trying to stir up race prejudice in this campaign by circulating this yellow card. I have no prejudice against the colored people of Omaha and have always been of the opinion the poor unfortunate colored man hanged by the mob in Omaha was an innocent man, and have always had an abiding conviction the race riot in Omaha was a studied effort on the part of the lawless element in Omaha to discredit the present administration and bring about a recall of several of the city commissioners.

URE for City Commissioner THE THE WORLD-HERALD'S HONEST OPINION OF W. G. URE On June 17, 1919, the World-Herald on its editorial page expressed its true candid judgment of Mr. Ure. In suggesting him for a departmental appointment the following language was used: 'It needs a man of experience and mature judgment, a man of character and strength and firmness, a man who knows how to be tolerant and how to be fair. Such a man, we are hopeful to believe, is to be found in the commission itself in the person of William G. Ure. "Mr. Ure is no friend of the World-Herald, personal or political. This newspaper has never supported him for public office. He has devoted a busy lifetime to opposing candidates and policies and principles to whom and to which the World-Herald was attached. We love him no better than he loves us. But there is an emergency at hand in which is involved Omaha's material interests, Omaha's good name, and the security of life, liberty and property in this great city. At such a time political likes and dislikes should have little weight. Mr. Ure is a man, a big and strong one. He has vigor and energy, tempered by a wise degree of caution and moderation. He doesn't see red or fright at the mouth." The men selected will expend probably $15,000,000 of public funds. It is important that men o/ known integrity and business ability will be chosen. W. G. Ure has these qualifications. He should have your vote and energetic support. ote for IOPKINS is a vote against Racial or Religious Prejudice Hopkins stands for a square deal for everybody He is Clean, Capable and Courageous Hopkins is the only Ex-Soldier Candidate for City Commissioner your vote May, 3rd W.

With the individual, as with the business man, taxes have assumed serious proportions and have become a heavy burden. There is a saying that nothing is certain but death and taxes. Taxes are necessary for carrying on the government of the City, State and Nation, and when assessed and used for that purpose are not cause for complaint. But when taxes go higher and higher because of the reckless issuing of bonds for this, that and the other purpose, the tax-payer has a right to kick. In view of the proposal to vote a Million Dollar bond issue at the coming election to build a so-called "free" bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs, it may be well to give a little thought to the subject of bond issues and taxes. From the annual report of the City of Omaha we learn that the general bonded debt of the city was $9,808,928.00 on December 31, 1919. This does not include Improvement bonds, nor the $7,000,000.00 Water Works Bonds, nor the $5,000,000.00 Gas Plant Bonds. The following table shows the purposes for which the $9,808,938.00 General Bonds were issued: | Amount | Purpose for which issued: | | :--- | :--- | | $2,124,800.00 | Intersection Paving. | | 3,654,000.00 | Sewers, storm. | | 963,250.00 | Parks. | | 310,000.00 | Fire Engine Houses. | | 220,000.00 | City Hall. | | 100,000.00 | Library. | | 150,000.00 | Auditorium. | | 100,000.00 | Police Station. | | 50,000.00 | Public Comfort Stations. | | 46,500.00 | Internal Improvement. | | 35,500.00 | Electric Light. | | 15,500.00 | Water, Fire Equipment. | | 495,000.00 | Funding. | | 210,008.00 | Refunding. | | 14,000.00 | Overlap. | | 1,320,880.00 | Special Assessment. | $9,808,938.00 The amount of interest which the Omaha taxpayers must pay annually on this bonded debt is $444,674.66.

The City at present has not one dollar on hand as a sinking fund to retire these bonds. And this is not all. There are outstanding at this date $3,667,000 of Omaha School Bonds, on which the taxpayers must pay annually, the sum of $173,120.00 as interest. And several million dollars more of School Bonds will be issued as soon as they can be sold for the purpose of building a new High School of Commerce and other much needed school buildings. Douglas County also has outstanding bonds to the amount of $2,937,000.00, on which the annual interest is $131,620.00, a very large part of which the Omaha taxpayers must pay through their County taxes. The legitimate needs of any growing city are many, and further bond issues for proper purposes will be numerous enough. For instance, you will be called on in the near future to vote bonds for the following projects recommended by the City Planning Board; Widening of 24th Street from Cuming to Pacific ..... $1,600,000.00 Widening Harney Street from 20th to 26th ..... 375,000.00 Cutting through Douglas Street from 24th Street to 25th Ave- venue and widening between 20th and 24th and between 25th Ave- venue and 27th Street ..... 175,000.00 Cutting through 22nd Street from Dodge to Howard ..... 630,000.00 Widening of 20th Street from Dodge to Leavenworth ..... 616,000.00 Inner Belt Traffic Way ..... 400,000.00 River Drive ..... 400,000.00 Widening and Improving Center Street ..... 62,000.00 Total ..... $4,258,000.00 Is it not well to consider carefully and then vote "No" on the "free" bridge bonds? REMEMBER! A "FREE" BRIDGE IS NOT FREE—AS THE TERM WOULD IN- DICATE—SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE TOLL, AND THAT SOMEBODY IS THE TAXPAYER. --- PETER H. BURKE CANDIDATE FOR City Commissioner PETER H. BURKE SLOGAN: "The Monitor In Every Home And I'll Help Put It There" ENDORSES DUNN Editor Monitor: I have lived in Omaha for the past forty-one years and I have known Henry W. Dunn during all that time, and of him I must say that there was never a man in public office during all of that time that was, and is free from race or religious prejudice than Henry W. Dunn. I think I can truthfully say that I have been the best friend that the colored people have had during that period of time. In this connection, I will say to the Colored people of Omaha if Henry W. Dunn is elected commissioner, the Ku Klux Klan will have no special friend in him. ED. MOREARTY, Attorney, 700 Bee Building. PLAYING POLITICS To The Editor of the Monitor. Please find space in your paper for a few words to the colored voters of Douglas county. At this late date, Mr. J. W. Towl comes out with a statement giving the cause of the lynching of William Brown on September 28, 1919. I say it was up to Mr. Towl as foreman of the Grand Jury. At the investigation, Mr. Towl said the police were not organized. Now, he comes out and praises the police force. What has caused his change? Is he now on the police side? If Mr. Towl knows the cause of the riot and has the information at hand he should be made to tell what he knows. If Mr. Towl has the City and the people at heart and is sincere in this matter why has he kept this a secret all these months? It is needless to say, he is playing politics. SERGT. BAILEY.

He has used his technical ability, although he, too, has been out of his plans. He has plans for him should be permitted to carry because we believe the city need, as yet, he has given us no represences, which, however, we hope and urge our people to vote for M. and ability and because he is tried for the position which he no longer and better city and in the technical skill of Roy N.

He is a republican and popsess man of South Omaha. He is a STATE FURNITURE CO. Douglas 1317 Phonographs and Records MR. GROWER HEIGHTENING OIL WERE APPOINTED IN THE WHOLE TWENTY YEARS PRECEEDING. He has certainly tried to give us a SQUARE DEAL. Therefore The Monitor is for J. Dean Ringer and we believe we have given good reasons why every colored voter should be for him. W. G. Ure has been in public life in Omaha for twenty years in various positions of trust and honor and in every one he has made good. While County Treasurer he had in his employ as clerk, Rufus Long. And in his present position, the position of Inspector of Weights and Measures, is under him. This is filled acceptably by John W. Long. Ure is entitled to our support both on grounds of being an honest, capable and efficient public official and also as having given us a square deal. That's why he is on The Monitor's slate. Harry B. Zimman has been in public life in Omaha for more than twenty years as councilman, acting mayor and commissioner and has rendered splendid service. He is one of the best informed men on municipal affairs, in the country. Were it not for the handicap of prejudice he would have been mayor of Omaha years ago, and The Monitor believes he will yet be. In his present position he has brought the fire department to a high degree of efficiency. He has always been fair with our people. He promised to restore Colored officers to Hose Company No. 11 and he kept his word. The Monitor supports him on the ground of efficiency and the SQUARE DEAL to our people. He deserves our united vote. Roy N. Towl is a splendid gentlemen, whom we personally like. He is a civil engineer of ability. He has used his technical skill to good advantage for the city, although he, too, has been seriously handicapped in carrying out his plans. He has plans for the development of Omaha which he should be permitted to carry out. We are supporting Mr. Towl because we believe the city needs his technical skill. Unfortunately, as yet, he has given us no representation in his force of employees, which, however, we hope and believe that he will correct. We urge our people to vote for Mr. Towl because of his efficiency and ability and because he is the only candidate who is fully qualified for the position which he now holds. We are interested in a larger and better city and in that enlargement and betterment the technical skill of Roy N. Towl is needed. Thomas B. Falconer as park commissioner, has given good service. He gave employment to a few of our people, as laborers. Dan B. Butler has served the city for several pears in various capacities and has given honest, faithful and efficient service. In his present position he has not discriminated in giving employment to our people. He has given us a Square Deal, and because of these reasons the Monitor is for him. James C. Dahlman was mayor of Omaha for twelve years and was absolutely fair and square in his dealings with all classes of people. He gave our people in common with others a square deal. When John Grant Pegg, who had served under him for more than two terms as Inspector of Weights and Measures died, strong pressure was brought to bear upon Mayor Dahlman to have him give that position, the only one of note in the city government held by our race, to a white man. Mayor Dahlman stood pat for the appointment of a colored man, and Amos P. Scruggs was appointed and served until Mayor Dahlman's retirement. We recall only one instance during Mayor Dahlman's twelve years in office, in which he failed us and we frankly told him so at that time and that was in failing to prevent the appearance of "The Birth of the Nation." We can recall nothing else during his three terms in which he failed to give our people a square deal. And this is why The Monitor is for James C. Dahlman. This, then, is The Monitor's slate, which we have selected for ourselves on what we consider good and reasonable grounds. We believe that in the main it will be acceptable to those who rely upon our knowledge of men and affairs to help guide them in their decision. We have been asked for information concerning some other candidates. We give it griefly: Joseph B. Hummell, republican, was park commissioner during the Dahlman administration and is really the man who gave the city its playgrounds and other recreational facilities. He employed Desdune's Band for band concerts and had in his employment as playground supervisors, Mrs. Grace M. Hutten and Mrs. Bessie M. Wise. It is upon his past record of efficiency and the Square Deal that The Monitor Supports him. Charles A. Grimmel, republican, is a business man of high character. We do not know what his attitude is towards our people, but believe he would absolutely be fair. He is a thorough gentleman. Judge Abraham L. Sutton was on the district bench for several years. He was fair in his decisions. He is a republican. John F. Murphy is a democrat, but an excellent, kindly gentleman. Miss Minnie Givens served under him as stenographer in the Quartermaster's Department, and speaks of him in the highest terms and he of her. Henry Dunn, was on the police force for many years, serving as chief just before his retirement. He is a republican and popular. Joseph Koutsky is a business man of South Omaha. He is a republican.
