The editor of The Monitor enjoyed a delightful two hours' visit and interview Tuesday night with a modest, unassuming young man whom the average observer would consider an ordinary colored American or Negro. He is small of stature, of rather dark brown complexion, with the usual fullness of Hips, not very pronounced, which characterize the negroid races. He would easily be taken for one of our own race. But you would be mistaken as to his racial identity. He is not an ordinary colored man, as the term goes, altho he is colored, but is a prince. Yes, a real live prince. His name is Domileh Joseph Cleasant, (pronounced thlesent), son of the ruler of the Meko tribe, on the island of Yula, British New Guinea. "The people here spell my name Gleason," said Dominic, "but the right spelling is as I have given it to you." "Oh, I see," ventured the editor, "Gleason is an Irish name, and your friends are determined to make an Irishman out of you." The prince laughed and said, "I don't know as to that, but among many of my best friends are Irishmen, and they have been very kind to me." Dominic is a devout Roman Catholic. So are all his people. He is on his way to Rome to complete his studies for the priesthood, which he considers a higher dignity than that of a secular prince. He has been doing missionary work among his people and has been of great service as an interpreter. He will be the first native priest to work among his people. He bears creden- A. tials from high dignitaries of the Roman Catholic church, which testify as to his scholarship and character. According to these he attended institutions of learning in India, Constantinople and Abyssinia. Prince Dominic is a Sanktik scholar, and speaks the following Maylayian languages: Melamesian, Polynesian, Papuan, Javanese, Magadhim, Dravidian, Malayakam, Kohasian and Koita. He converses well in English, altho with a decided foreign accent which tells you at once he is "some kind of a black foreigner." Prince Dominic came to the United States first in 1918 and studied at the Catholic Apostolic Mission House, at Washington, D. C. There is where he learned English. Monsignor D. J. Kennedy and Vicar General O'Connell took a deep interest in him. One would almost believe, however, that his patron saint, altho he has not yet been canonized, is Archbishop Marty, whom he knew in the Philippines and with whom he is stopping while in the city. His face beamed with delight every time Archbishop Harty's name was mentioned. This Maylayan prince is a close observer and well-informed as to world affairs and particularly in racial matters in the United States. He says that people try to make him believe that his people are different from peoples of African blood. "Perhaps so," says Dominic, "but I can't see the difference. It seems to me we arl all alike. I see no differ- THE MONITOR ence between American Negroes and my own people. Many of us look alike—the same complexion—same general features. But they say we are different. There is one thing that seems to me wrong and that is the way the United States treats her colored people or Negroes. I am a foreigner. I can get accommodation anywhere. I've had no trouble yet. If United States gets into war she could not compel me to go to her defense; but among the first ones she drafts and to help defend her are her Negro subjects. They honor me, a foreigner, highly and they'll give me bread, where they won't give you even water. Funny she thinks more of foreigners than of her own people who defend her, am I not right? "Yes, you are right," was the editor's reply, "These are inconsistencies which it is exceedingly difficult to understand. Perhaps some day we Americans will realize how foolish and inconsistent we are along these lines." Continuing he said, "I took a well- dressed, intelligent Negro friend with me into a cafe where I took my meals. They would not serve me, I asked why, since they served me. They replied, they could serve me, but could not serve Negroes. And yet, my friend was better looking than I am, much fairer, by a good deal, neat and well educated. It makes me laugh. They would serve me a foreigner without any objection, and yet they would not serve my friend a native Negro American. Isn't that stupid, foolish and oh, so funny." "Yes, Dominic, it is foolish, ridiculous, funny and tragically pathetic." The young Maylayan thinks highly of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with whose work he is quite conversant but does not think much of the Garvey movement of which also he has made a study. He told us much of the customs of his country and people, and in turn asked us many questions, showing the keenness and alertness of his mind. We were well pleased with this earnest-minded young man from the brown folk of the orient. We bade him adieu saying, "Dominus vobiscum." To which he promptly replied, "Et cum spiritu tuo." FELLOW TOWNSMEN PAY FIT TRIBUTE TO AGED CITIZEN Colored and White Friends of the Late Uncle Mike Minton Jon Hands in Funeral Obsequies of An Upright Man, Who Had Passed the Century Mark. WHEELOCK,Tex., Aug. 17.—Here in the center of the "black belt" of Texas, the white neighbors of the late "Uncle Mike Hinton, a Negro, paid remarkable tribute to the upright life that he had led, by attending his funeral and officiating at the obsequies. The services at the grave were conducted jointly by white and Negro clergy. The pallbearers on one side of the bier were prominent white men of the community and on the other side they were Negroes. White and colored men worked side by side in shoveling the earth into the grave after the casket had been lowered. Hinton was a remarkable man in more respects than one. In the first place he was 116 years old at the time of his death. For eighty years he had lived here and during all that period he was leader of the people of his own race, always advising them to do right O: the marriage of James A. Pugh, eldest son of James Pugh, his owner in 1836, Mike and his sister were given as a wedding present to the young couple. Mike continued to follow the fortunes of his owner from Mississippi to Louisiana and Texas as the faithful, devoted and trusted body servant of Major James A. Pugh until by Lincoln's proclamation he with other Pugh Negroes were set free at Wheelock. The One Thing That Really Counts. No man can afford to work for money alone.

ODDFELLOWS ORGANIZE TRUST COMPANY ST./ JOSEPH, M., Aug. 18.—The Old Fellows of the State of Missouri wrote a bright new promise on the pages of the future, when they decided in their annual session just here, to adopt three measures proposed by their grand master, W.

Third. They voted to promote a trust company which by gathering up the savings of the race, both those inside the lodges and households and those outside, and thereby furnish a better backing for Negro business.

Theophilus Momolu Gardiner, suffragan bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Literia, Africa, visited Philadelphia, as the guest of the rector, wardens and vestry of the church of St. John the Divine, 57th and Pearl Streets, Philadelphia. The bishop arrived at the West Philadelphia station about 5 p.m. Saturday and was met by the rector of the parish, Rev. J. Da Costa Harewood. Early Sunday morning he administered the the Holy Communion to a goodly number of the communicants of St. John the Divine and preached to a crowded church at the 11 a.m. service. In the Pro-Cathedral, the bishop preached at 5 p.m. Ten priests, including the Rev. Dr. Richardson, the dean were present at this service.

Grandmaster's Address The address began by reminding the members of their obligations to Almighty God upon whom they were always to rely for help and wisdom and in invoking His blessing upon the order. Passing on the spirit of unrest and disquietude prevalent throughout the world today and the regrettable trife between men, indicated in the labor world and racial strife were noted. The address counselled that all members of our group should be self-restrained and law-abiding. It noted the spirit manifested in demanding were safe guarded without regard to race, color or creed. Home buying and thrift were advised. The address then dealt specifically with the growth of the craft and official matters, showing the fraternity to be harmonious, prosperous and progressive.

The people of Lincoln have spared no pain in providing hospitality for the Grand Lodge. FRANCE PLANS INCREASE IN HER BLACK TROOPS Each Army Division WILL Contain Two White And One Colored Regiment. 300,000 Under Arms. This Number of Africans Now Included In Peace-Time Army. (By the Associated Negro Press) PARIS, France, Aug. 17.—France is planning to increase the number of colored soldiers in her army. The present head of the French general staff has a project to make every division in the army consist of two regiments of white troops and one of colored troops, even in the time of peace. The practicability of the plan has been proved, it is thought, by the services rendered to France during the World War by its colonial troops. Altogether the French colonies furnished 221,000 working men and 545,000 combatants. The valor of the latter is attested by the fact that 20 per cent of them were killed. At the time of the armistice there were under arms eighty-three battalions of Algerian and Tunisian riflemen, twelve battalions of Moroccan, ninety-two of West Africans, seventeen from Indo-China ten from Madagascar, one from Somalia and one from the French Pacific islands, a total of 216 battalions. The project now under consideration wuld include 300,000 colonials in Frane's peace-time army. It must be recalled that eighteenth-century ideas of democracy and equality still persist very largely in France, with the result that there is practically no prejudice against Arabs and very little against blacks or Mongolians, although curiously enough there is more against the latter than against the former. One serious question, however, is whether such troops as the Senegalese could ever really become acclimated to the clammy rigors of a French winter. MAJOR MOTON WRITES INSTRUCTIVE ARTICLE FOR ENGLISH PAPER London Times Editorializes On Contribution From Pen of Principal of Tuskegee Commenting Upon the Remarkable Spirit of Restraint Shown In Face of Recent Happenings in the United States. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Aug. 17.—In the American number of the London Times, published July 4th, was an article written by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. In this article Dr. Moton pointed out the progress which the Negro had made and what he contributed toward the development of America. Concerning the article, the editor of the Times commented as follows: "Nothing in all the number, however more deserves to be read with attention than Dr. Moton's essay on "The Negro of Today. Dr. Moton, himself a fullblooded Negro, as Mr. Booker T. Washington's successor as principal of the Tuskegee Institute. He is recognized as the leader of Negro thought in the United States and as the first champion of Negro progress, his influence being constantly exerted against all those who are preaching race hatred and revolt. It has to be remembered that there have recently occurred in the United States many things calculated to excite the anger of the Negro; conspicuously the terrible murders and outrages in the State of Georgia and the Oklahoma race riots. That Dr. Moton can at such a moment write with the moderation, gentleness and charity which he shows, is a great achievement and no small testimony to the character of the man. The story whic he tells is a remarkable one; but still more remarkable is the spirit in which he tells it, so that his argument stands out luminously persuasive against the dark background of present passions. We are confident that in writing this article Dr. Moton will be found to have done a real service to the Negro cause."

TULSA, Okla., August 11—Suits involving damage claim approximating $4,000,000 are soon to be filed against the city by 1,500 residents who lost property during the race riot June 1, according to a statement made by Rev. C. Dearman, 1810 Cherokee street, Baptist preacher and medical research scientist. Colored and white lawyers, both in Tulsa and in cities as far distant as Chicago have been employed by the victims, according to Dearman, who stated that societies all over the United States are raising money to fight the iases and have promised to bear the entire burden of the legal proceedings. don't think the time is ripe now for the union station. We want a settlement before we are willing to talk about selling our property. This statement was made by Dearman before the Reconstruction Committee took drastic action Friday afternoon ordering the fire marshal and building inspector to prevent the further building of temporary houses in the restricted fire area except under the supervision of the Red Cross. Maurice Willows, Red Cross secretary, stated that only tents with floors in them would be constructed under his supervision. Scores of frame buildings have been erected in the devastated area in the last few weeks despite the "We have been advised by the presidents of two Tulsa banks that our claims are just and that we can recover from the city," Dearman said. "The 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States are back of us and we have hired the best attorneys that we could find. The claims of about 1,500 persons who lost homes and personal property during the race riot have been filed with lawyers and they have the suits ready to file now. We figure that he total loss to us is about $4,000,000. "We are not going to sell our property for an industrial section or for any other purpose until settlement is made with us for our losses. The colored citizens are all disissated with the way things are going. C. F. Gabe, colored sanitary inspector, and others, specially favored by the city have been allowed to put up buildings in the burned district.

LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 18.—The extra session of the Fifty-first General Assembly of the Missouri legislature closed early Sunday morning, July 31 after a heated debate during the closing hours. The Anti-Lynching Bill The House Bill which was introduced by Walthall M. Moore, colored member, was left on the informal calendar of the house, after the bill had been amended so as to make it non-effective by the enemies of the bill. In the mean while a similar bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Anderson of St. Louis. The Senate being a smaller body, it was thought that the bill would surely pass that body in time for it to go back to the House as a "Senate Bill" and as such, would have little or no trouble the second time. In keeping with his promise, Senator Blodgett of St. Louis had a public hearing on the bill before the Senate Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence of which he was chairman. This Committee made a favorable report on the bill, but Mr. Anderson who introduced the bill never called the bill for consideration. Thus the anti-lynching bill "died" in the Senate for lack of someone to call it up for consideration. Mr. Moore Worked Hard Hon. Walthall M. Moore who was the author of the anti-lynching bill worked hard for its passage. He defended the bill before the House with great eloquence and ability. But there seemed to have been an organized movement to defeat the bill. MAKE TRIAL FLIGHT NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 17— After spending months in the assembling of every part of an airplane with his own hands George Fisher, mechanic, war prevented from making a trial flight, because he had no license. Tuesday evening he laid the entire matter before Mayor McShane, after some officious policeman had stopped him from making an exhibition flight Monday at the Fair Grounds. It was to have been his initial flight in the plane. Everything was ready. The motor was whirring and crowds looked on. Just as he was to go, the arm of the law interfered.

He said that 6,000 had left Tulsa and that there still are about 8,000 living in servants quarters in the south side and about 3,500 living in the old colored district. City Turns Down Claims A proposal has been made by the colored residents for presentation to the Reconstruction Committee that the business men of Tula form a corporation with $4,000,000 subscribed as capital stock and pay off the claims. Their plan is for this corporation to then file a friendly suit against the city to recover the money paid out for th damage claims.e Mrs. Frank Seaman, city auditor, said that property claims totalling more than $4,000,000 already have been filed.

During his brief residence in Los Angeles whither he had gone for his health he had made many friends. In his illness he was lovingly cared for by his brother's family, who were assisted by his brotherhood of the Oddfellows and sisters of the Household of Ruth.

UNDER the above caption there recently appeared in the Okmulguee (Okla.) Democrat an editorial of such sanity, soundness and wisdom that it should be given the widest publicity. The editorial shows a grasp of the inter-racial situation which s exceedingly rare among American newspapers. It may be ignorance, rather than wilful intention to misrepresent facts, which is responsible for the average daily's policy of implying, if not positively stating, that Colored Americans, speaking broadly, belong to one social stratum, only, and in this one stratum the criminal and degraded predominate. This is the impression which one receives from the average daily newspaper. It is therefore out of the ordinary and a most encouraging sign to have an influential daily like the Okmulguee Democrat call attention to the fact that there "is a line of social cleavage existing even in the Negro race" and also stressing the fact that "social equality is an individual question," wholly outside legal enactments, a fact which is too oft en overlooked, and seriously confused with "civil rights." More editorials of this character, and The Monitor notes that they are growing in number, will do a vast deal towards helping out the situation in establishing and maintaining helpful, sympathetic and harmonious relations between two large groups of American citizens between whom there should be nothing but good will amity and kindness. We publish the editorial elsewhere in this issue and invite its careful reading. UNJUST AND UNWARRANTED MANY of our people smarting unde MANY of our people smarting under some injustice, are too prone to make unjust and unwarranted accusations against the entire white race. It is not uncommon to hear people say that all white people are enemies to colored people, and only need the opportunity of displaying this enmity and ill-will. This, of course, is not true. One of our own gifted poets has voiced the real truth in these lines,— "Though wrongs there are, and wrongs "Though wrongs there are, and wrongs have been, And wrongs we still must face, We have more friends than foes within the Anglo-Saxon race." One has but to look around him to see that this is true. In every community there are warm true-hearted friends of our race, who have white hearts as well as white faces. Do not wound them or estrange them by ill-tempered, wholesale denunciation of their group, because of the wrongs inflicted or the insults offered by individuals. Be discriminating and appreciative and show yourself worthy of their friendship and esteem.

RATHER UNUSUAL SUNDAY morning's Bee carried a story out of the ordinary. It told of an attack made upon Wesley Gipson, a colored laborer, by a street car crew, when Gipson was seeking to leave the car to avoid an altercation with an unknown white man who insulted him. A large number of white people who witnessed the attack sided with Gipson and demanded immediate arrest of the train crew. Ordinarily the crowd which it is said menaced the train crew would have been disposed to have laid the blame upon the colored man without investigating. This illustrates the wisdom of knowing the truth and not taking sides according to our passions or prejudices. Punishment should be meted out to the men for their unprovoked attack upon an unoffending citizen. WHAT EDITORS SAY (From Okmulgee Democrat) The greatest contribution the people of Oklahoma can make to the cause of law enforcement and race peace is to discourage the agitation and bitter feeling that is stirred up by the irresponsible and ignorant among both the whites and the Negroes. What is needed is sound leadership that will blot out of the minds of the Negroes ideas that lead to false expectations, and to banish from the head of the whites vain and useless assertions of superiority to the black race as a whole. False promised lead to false conclusions, which in turn lead to trouble when actions follow. The Negro is entitled to just the same consideration as a race that any other race is entitled to. He is entitled to protection in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness in the same sense the white man is entitled to these rights. He is entitled to the right of equal opportunity before the law with any other race. When that is said all is said. Neither the constitution of the United States nor any state guarantees to any race superiority over, or equality with, any other race. The law recognizes no race. It contemplates human beings organized into society with equal rights to protection and opportunity for happiness. Nothing more Social equality is an individual question. We have known many Negroes that were more desirable as associates than many whites. On the other hand, there are social distinctions in every race which are natural and inevitable. Even a Negro does not choose his friends and associates merely because they are Negroes. There is a line of social cleavage existing even in the Negro race that is of the same kind ALWAYS on go and character as that which exists between the Negro and the white race. There never was and it is safe to say there never will be pass or enforced any law that will compel one man to associate with any other particular man, or one race to associate with any other particular race. The selection of social equals is a personal matter in the very nature of things. Social recognition depends largely upon social and intellectual qualities and attainments. Character, intellect and achievement will overcome barriers that are impervious to constitutions and statutes. In any event, if these do not level social barriers, there is nothing in the world that will accomplish the task. Getting the right viewpoint and state of mind clears the ground and affords an unobstructed view of the relations and fitness of things. Right thinking, which follows clear and correct ideas, is bound to result in right acting. Fugitives From Turk Persecution Attempt Atlantic WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12. More than 1,000 Assyrian Christians, fleeing from persecution by Mohammedans, are on their way to the United States on small sailing vessels, Secretary Davis said. According to information reaching the Department of Labor, he added, they are part of 75,000 who started to march from the interior of Persia to the ports, 25,000 of whom died on the way. Those who survived boarded available vessels that were leaving for Japan and the countries of Europe and America. The 1,000 coming here, the secretary said, will be far in excess of the quotas for Persia, against which country they should be charged under the percentage immigration law, but he added that no decision has been reached as to what would be done with them. KU KLUX KLAN SUES LOS ANGELES PAPER LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 17. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a corporation, have brought suit for libel against the Los Angeles Express Publishing Company, demanding a total of $105,000 general and exemplary damages for the publication in three editions of the paper of an article over which appeared banner lines reading: "Great Ku Klux Outbreak." "Ku Klux Terrorizes South," and "Ku Klux Reign of Terror." The article credited certain raids in Southern States to "a secret organization similar to that of the Ku Klux of reorganization days." PROMINENT VISITORS PROMINENT VISITORS Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Riddle of Dennison, Texas, accompanied by Mrs. Sam Smith of Dennison and Miss Constance Houston of Houston, niece of Mrs. Riddle, arrived in Omaha Monday morning after a delightful motor trip from Dennison. They were forty-eight hours late in arriving due to repairs on the car. They made the trip in Mr. Riddle's Willis-Knight. Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Riddle who motored to Dennison a month ago to visit their parents also returned at this time. Mr. J. H. Riddle is one of the most prominent and influential men in Texas. He is Endowment Secretary of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of that state, which position he has held since 1906. When he took the office the order numbered 5,000, and they had only $600.00 in the treasury and deferred claims amounting to $3,000.00. Now the order has a membership of 23000 with a cash balance in the treasury of $209,000.00 with all claims paid. This is largely due to the executive ability of Mr. Riddle. Mr. and Mrs. Riddle will be in Omaha a few days visiting their son, Dr. R. C. Riddle. CLYDE GLASS IN PIANO RECITAL Subscribe for The Monitor.

On returning one of the cars skidded on the slippery road, lodging against a tree down an embankment, which shook the occupants so they became nervous and thought they were injured, but none were injured. The car was smashed and is in the hospital at Omaha. Those who occupied the car were L. Ashford, driver, D. Oliver Rev. H. W. Botts, Mrs. L. Cooper, Mrs V. Clark and Mrs. B. Brooks. N. W. C. A. NOTES The Advisory board met at the home of Dr. J. H. Hutten, Friday evening. They had a very interesting meeting, and some good advice was given for the benefit of the Home. All members present pledged so much toward putting an addition to the home, with the understanding that all pledge money be placed in the building and loan and used only for an addition. We need more room very badly. The home is now filled, and the living room will have to be made into a bed room and we have more applicants. We want to ask the citizens to enlarge the home. After the monthly meeting of the Association, we will start a pledge system, and all pledges will be anounced after that meeting. DECISION GIVEN LANGFORD Boxing fans were given one of the cleanest and best exhibitions of the manly art that was ever pulled off in Omaha at the Auditorium last Friday night when Sam Langford boxed ten rounds with Lee Anderson; and Jack Taylor eight rounds with Ed "Bearcat" Wright. Langford received an unpopular referee's decision, the consensus of opinion among the fans being that the fight was a good draw. Jack Taylor, who fought "Bearcat" Wright in the semi-final, was in a charitable mood. He donated the Bearcat twenty-six pounds and a good beating. Taylor outfought the Bearcat in all departments of the game. There was a full house. The event was held under the auspices of koosevelt Post American Legion.
