A. M. E. Church 'ore An Audience of Fifteen Furred People— Strikes Optimistic DAHLMAN WARD V WELCOMES SPIRIT Simmons Sees in Progress of Race During Past Fifty Years Abundant Reasons for Hopefulness and Encouragement, Counsels Patience and Joins Issue With All Who Would Teach Retaliation and the Doctrine of Hate. An audience estimated to be between 1500 and 1800 greeted Roscoe Simmons when he spoke at the City Auditorium Monday night under the joint auspices of Acme Lodge Knights of Pythias and St John's A. M. E. church. The meeting was called to order by R. C. Price, who in a few well chosen words thanked all who had contributed to the success of the meeting and introduced E. G. Scott, Chancellor Commander of AcmeLodge as chairman. The invocation was given by the Rev. W. F. Botts. Mr. Scott then introduced Mayor James C. Dahlman who gave a hearty address of welcome to the speaker on behalf of the city. Mr. Dahlman recalled the fact that three years ago when he welcomed Mr. Simmons he was going out of office and that Mr. Simmors then prophesied that upon his subsequent return to the city he expected to be welcomed by Mr. Dahlman again as chief executive of the city which prophesy had been fulfilled. Mr. Simmors was then introduced by the Rev. John Albert Williams. Several prominent citizens had seats upon the platform. As Mr. Simmons arose to speak the members of the Blue Circle club greeted him with their club yell. Mr Simmons expressed his gratitude for the welcome accorded him by the young people, the organizations which had invited him to the city, the chief executive and the speaker who had introduced him. He spoke in an optimistic key, after his characteristic manner, reciting past racial achievements as grounds for hopefulness and encouragement. He paid a glowing tribute to the genius of the American white man, with whose fortunes and successes the lot of the American Negro is linked, and stressed the fact that the time will come when the dominant group will recognize the American Negro as his best friend and will do him justice. He counseled patience upon the part of our people and joined issue with those who would teach retaliation and hate. Mr. Simmons spoke in part as follows: THANKS. BLUE CIRCLE CLUB "I believe I am alright now. I thank the young men for the yell. They said was alright, but I should come me. I thank you again and again. Whatever your organization is I belong to it. I sincerely thank May- or Dahman out of my heart for his welcoming. I thank you for Omaha, and as long as you are mayor I will be coming to your city. There are no new political parties. The white people can belong to any party, and they are the ones who can come to Omaha, and to see [Image of a man in formal attire, seated in a chair, holding a camera or similar device]. 1910 BOSCO CONKLIN SIMMONS Who Snope at City Auditorium Monday Night so many of my country-men. I thank Father Williams for his remarks. Men may speak of me unkindly, but my cousin will forgive me before the bar of public opinion. My object is to stand the American Negro upon his feet. I hate to speak to the white man, but I am not a few present. There are not so many white friends as there were when I spoke here before. The war is over. During the war we are not alone. I am the poor, I am an American, I was born here. Other races came here. I am at home. Other races stop here. I started here. I am at home. Urges Patience If I could speak but one word to-night, to the Negro it would be Patience and to the American white man is the Negro's best friend, I shall not deny, and we are said that we are our best friend, but the American white man's best friend, but he is our only friend. Urges Patience of White people This peace ought to be failed with white people. For my work is not only for members of the Negro race, but for all Americans as well. As I stand on this hill, you the war is not over, it just has been transferred from a conflict to blood to a conflict of ideas to a conflict of peace. When war comes again then will come the white man to the door of the Negro again and say: 'Come out of the darkness and see the light of truth, no one is after us, but somebody is after him. What shall be the reply? I promise to stand by our size. They say, 'I will take off your arms. I am ready to fight. I will see the American white man refusing to stand by the American Negro. I have never asked the American white man to stand by me in my duty. God EDITOR SENDS CAUSTIC REPLY If In Quest of Martyrdom Prefers Ireland To The United States. He Writes- American Friend. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—George Bernard Shaw in reply to a letter to Oswald *Garrison Villard*, editor of the Nation, in which the writer was asked if he intended visiting the United States, said: "I have no intention of going to prison with Debs or of taking my wife to Texas where mobs snatch white women from out of hotel verandas and tar and feather them. If I were dependent upon martyrdom for a reputation, which happily I am not, I could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place, but then the voyage is shorter and much cheaper. You are right in your impression that a number of persons are urging me to come to the United States. But why on earth do you call them my friends?" GEORGIA MINSTRELS For many years the country has been toured by the Famous Georgia Minstrels, a company of colored performers, who have established a clientele equal to none, and the announcement that this company will be at the Brandeis Theatre, September, 4-5-6-7 insures a crowded house, as this season they come with a bright new show with a few of the old favorites retained, but with a complete new oil of fifteen vaudeville acts, made up in a program that has plenty of "pep" and a lot of comedy. The wardrobe and scenery is as bright and new as a silver dollar, and the peculiar harmony of the singers is always welcome, while the music is a distinct feature. LAND FOR WAR VETS Wash. D. C.

UNDERTAKERS FOUND BOY'S BODY HEAVY Jerome Withfield, Lynched By North Carolina Mob, Had Body Full of Lead—Thousand Shots Fired. WINSTON, N. C., Aug. 25.—Undertakers engaged in cutting down the body of Jerome Withfield from the tree where it was hanging and prepared it for burial, found that it was twice its normal weight. Investigation showed Withfield to have literally shot to pieces. Hundreds of bullets penetrated the body but many hundreds of others remained embedded in the flesh and bone. A mob, estimated at from £500 to 2,000 hung Withfield to a tree by the roadside near here and then riddled his body with a thousand bullets. Withfield was charged with having assaulted the wife of a white farmer. When he got word early that he was suspected of the crime, he made an attempt to escape. Members of the mob used blood hounds to track him, however. He was placed in an automobile and rushed to the home of the alleged assault victim's home. Some members of the mob say he was identified and others say he was not. It didn't make any difference; they were out for blood but heeded the woman's request not to lynch him in her back yard and they took him a mile down the road further. THE SAVING HABIT "Start the habit of saving to-day and you will soon come to realize how the little things rapidly grow into the big things," is the theme of an editorial from the Elwood Place (Ohio) Blade. The editorial says: "If you will but once start the habit of saving, no matter how small the amount, you will soon see why big industries all over the country are urging their employees to be saving with the tools and materials used by them in the factories and mills. Little wastes son grow into big losses just as small savings in time amount for large sums. "Saving built the railroads—hired the men who made the tools, paid the wages of the men who cleared the right of way, cut through the forests, made transportation and travel possible. Savings built ships—bought the cargoes which ships carry, sent the ship on its long voyages, and allowed of surpluses in necessary commodities to be brought to market. Savings set the grocer up in business and put the plow in the farmer's hands—savings did it all. All that we call civilization was planted and watered by savings. "In every case the accumulation of wealth began with somebody's savings—getting a little ahead as a start for going further ahead. And the only way anyone can get ahead, whether it be individuals or big corporations, is by saving. If we spend all we earn, and waste a portion of that which we have—put nothing by sooner or later adversity will come and we shall find ourselves dependent upon others and out of a job, seeking charity for our everyday needs.

ELAINE MEN TO BE EXECUTED Arkansas Governor Sets Day for Execution of Peonage Victims Convicted in ConNECTION with Phillips CountyRiots Two Years Ago Date for the execrocution of six Arkansas farmers, convicted in connection with te Elaine riots in Phillips county in October, 1919, has been set for September 22, by Governor McRae. Attorneys for the doomed men were denied a hearing on a writ of error from the Arkansas Supreme Court to the United States Supreme Court recently. Lawyers for the six men, including Attorney Selpio Jones, famous criminal lawyer and the law firm of Mc- R. H. V. Recently Elected Grand M Henry, Murphy and Dunaway have fought the case to the bitter end. The men were sentenced to die on June 10 but a writ of habeas corpus, calling for the appearance of the six men in court on the day of their execution forced the governor to postpone the time set fr their execution. The plea of the lawyers at that time was that the men were not responsible for the death of Clinton Lee, a white man, who was alleged to have been shot during the riots of October 1, 1919. The N. A. A. C. P. and many other charitable race institutions throughout the country have given their best in money and time, in an effort to save the men from the electric chair, but the order of Governor McRae seemingly ends the bitter fight, which has now been going on for nearly two years. THE MONITOR If there ever was a special edition gotten out by a race newspaper man deserving of special mention, it is the Monitor of Omaha, Neb., one of our leading exchanges, which came to our office this week replete with cuts and well gotten up sketches of prominent men and women, and healthy looking children; besides a number of business houses, many of them conducted by colored men. The many big advertisements contained therein show that somebody on the Monitor is surely "some hustler". Editor Williams, we congratulate you.—The Portland (Ore.) Advocate.

GRAND LODGE CLOSES SESSION The Craft in Nebraska Has Most Successful Meeting in Its History. Elects Strong Corps of Officers. Lincoln Captures the Grand Master. Omaha Secures Goodly Share of Grand Officers. (Special to The Monitor) LINCOLN, Neb., August 24.—The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Nebraska, and its jurisdiction A. F. & A. M., closed its 3rd annual session Friday afternoon in McKinley Auditorium, after one of the most successful meetings in the history of the organization. The great interest centered in the election of officers, which was held Thursday. It is to be noted that the grand officers choosen were quite equitably distributed throughout the state. Lincoln captured the Grand Master ship in the person of R. H. Young, who had served efficiently as Grand Treasurer. Omaha secured several prominent offices, while Grand Island, Alliance, Hastings, and Stromsburg were not overlooked. A large crowd assembled in the A. M. E. Church Wednesday night, and listened to an address of welcome by Secretary of State Hon. A. H. Amsberry, which was responded to by Mr. C. W. Dickerson, M. W. D. G. M., who rendered an address not heard every day, but well gotten up full of thought and very scholarly. A solo rendered by Mr. Chas, Haynes was enthusiastically applauded. The choir rendered splendid music. On Wednesday night at Mt. Zion Baptist Church the Memorial Services were conducted by M. W. G. Lecturer A. W. Gates of Grand Island. It was solemn and full of pathos. Desdunes famous band was here from Omaha Friday and as usual the boys were full of music and were the talk of the city. As the people had begun to assemble at the park for the picnic a heavy rain came up. The affair was spoiled; however, those who cared assembled at German Hall Friday night and enjoyed a reception and YOUNG master of Nebraska Masons dance, many parties having motored over from Omaha. The corps of officers elected are: R. H. Young, M. W. G. Master, Lincoln; C. W. Dickerson, M. W. D. G. M., Omaha; Dr. G. A. Flippin, Grand Island; E. W.S mith, M. W. G. S. Warden, Omaha; A. P. Curtis, M. W. G.. J. Warden, Alliance; A. W. Gates, M. W. G. Lecturer, Grand Island; R. P. Booth, M. W. G. Tyler, Hastings; L. B. Smith, M. W. G. Chaplain, Lincoln; C. C. & F. C., C. F. Denton, Lincoln. Next annual meeting will be at Grand Island Wednesday, August, 1922.

INSURANCE COMPANY RESENTS DISCRIMINATION BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 19.—The Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance Company, an Inter-Racial Corporation of which Dean L. B. Moore is national field executive, has refused to continue the occupancy of quarters in the Jefferson County Bank building as a protest against restrictions laid upon colored people in the use of elevators. 285 COLORED THEATERS IN THE UNITED STATES There are 285 colored moving picture theaters in United States. 88 of which are owned and managed by colored people. Texas has the largest number of theaters for colored people, forty in number and the largest number of colored owned and managed theaters, 15 in number. Maryland has 11 theaters, only one owned and managed by colored people. WAR RISK BUREAU HEAD WASHINGTON, August, 25.—Dr. J. P. A. Crossland of St. Joseph has been named the head of the Negro division of the War Risk Insurance Bureau. He will have charge of the claims for the hundreds of Colored soldiers who fought in the great war. It is supposed the appointment will carry a $6,000 salary. Crossland will take office Tuesday, it is expected. MEET AT DENVER DENVER, Colo., Aug. 25.-More than 10 thousand representatives were present at the fifth annual session of the American Woodmen. Supreme Commander White presided. The order has assets of nearly $1,000,000 and insurance policies in effect aggregating $40,000,000. JOHNSON IS NOT CONFIRMED Famous Georgian National Commit- teman Named as Recorder of Deeds Is Meeting With Determined WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—The appointment of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia came up Wednesday in executive session of the Senate, along with that of Frank A. Linney, of North Carolina, for U.S. District Attorney for the Eastern section of the State. Linney was confirmed and Johnson's appointment was returned to the Committee on District Affairs of which Senator Ball is Chairman, for investigation of charges that have been filed against him. An inquiry was made at Senator Ball's office concerning the charges, but nothing could be obtained concerning them. When interviewed the Colonel had nothing to say. "The question is before the Senate and I have nothing to say in the matter," said Mr. Johnson. The failure to confirm Johnson has caused much comment through political circles, because of the fact that he was supposed to have been held in high esteem by the administration. The nature of the charges filed against him are a matter of conjecture. It is believed, however, in some quarters that "The Lowden slush fund matter" is a part of them. Some political aces in the District take Johnson's silence at this time to mean that he has not yet played his last card. The movements of the Senate Committee will undoubtedly be watched very close from now on. Mr. Frank Golden, proprietor of the Little Fontenelle, returned Saturday from Topeka, Kan., where he had been for several days in attendance at the Grand Session of the Knights of Pythias' which was held in that city from Aug. 15-20. Mrs. W. M. Lewis of 2014 North Twenty-fourth street has gone to the Twin City where she will be the guest of her sister, Mrs. Laura Carter of Minneapolis, Minn., and other relatives in St. Paul.

WILSON Recently Elected Grand Secretary DR. CROSSLAND MADE AMERICAN WOODMEN STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AROUND! BOB CHURCH BREAKS WITH THE PRESIDENT BOB CHURCH BREAKS WITH THE PRESIDENT Would Not Stand For Latter's Attitude On Appointment Of Southern Colored Men DISSATISEACTION SPREADS Efforts Being Made To Elect A Democratic Congress in 1922 Major John R. Lynch, author, former member of Congress from Mississippi, former paymaster of the U. S. Army and during the Republican Nation-Convention of 1884, temporary chairman, in an exclusive interview for the Associated Negro Press declared: "The time has arrived when we must place partiotism above party. We have had a claim upon the Republican party, because it was founded on human rights. When human rights are ignored or side-tracked, as they seem to be now, we must open our eyes, find our real friends, and support them. "In 1874 U. S. Grant was elected by an unprecedented sweeping victory, as was President Harding. The party failed to keep its promises to the people, and in 1876 there was a notable Republican defeat. I give it as a warning, unless the Republican Party of today reasserts itself on genuine principles of human justice and lives up to them, history may repeat itself in 1922." WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 18. Nobody worked harder to put Harding in the White House and nobody has gotten less out of his presence there than the Colored people. This is the feeling that is rapidly spreading over the country and everywhere there is disgust and disappointment felt with the Harding administration. It is just becoming known that Robert R. Church, Tennessee leader, has broken with President Harding and rturned to his home. After campaigning throughout the country last fall, Mr. Church spent more than four months in Washington. When the President was settled, he and Mr. Church had a conference in which Mr. Harding expressed his views on the matter of appointing colored men to office in the South. Mr. Church respectfully told the President that he could not be sponsor for such a policy and until the course changed his address would be Memphis, Tenn. Henry Lincoln Johnson is being urged not to accept the position as recorder of deds. Leaders are urging Charles Cottrell to return to his business in Toledo, Ohio and Dr. J. B. Crossland to go back to St. Louis Mo. Such a course, it is said, would show the Republicans that colored Americans are not to be trifled with and that in 1922 every effort will be made to send a Democratic Congress to Washington.

MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN MUSIC PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE LINKED TOGETHER THIS refers to humanity as a w THIS refers to humanity as a whole. Humanity as an organism. An organism is an organized body with part related and correlated to part, each member of the body having its duty to do, its functions to perform, if life is to be sustained and the body or organism grow and fulfill its purpose. Men admit this if the subject under discussion be a plant, a lower animal or human being. They admit that if an injury be done to the finger or toe, the eye or the ear the whole body is affected by it. It, however, seems difficult, if not impossible, for men to grasp the truth that all mankind or all humanity constitutes one vast organism, or, if you please, one great universal body, and each individual soul, although a complete entity, that is to say perfect and complete in itself, has its duty to discharge, its function to fulfill, if humanity is to carry out the divine purpose for which it has been called into being. This, however, is absolutely true. It is this philosophy upon which Christianity rests. Were it not true Christianity were impossible for it is founded upon the fact that God became not A man, but Man, in order that He might lift man, that is to say humanity, mankind in its totality, to the highest possible plane, physical, moral and spiritual. All mankind are brethren and an injury to one is an injury to all. Whatsoever, therefore elevates or degrades, benefits or injuries any member of the human family anywhere has a corresponding effect upon the whole body of humanity. This is a truth we all need to remember. Humanity is indissolubly bound together. We do not realize this hence our petty jealousies and hates, our narrowness and bigotry. SOME COMMENTS ON OUR SPECIAL EDITION A GREAT WEEKLY The Emancipation number of the Omaha Monitor of last week was one that should have made every man and woman of whatever color, proud of its colored population and grateful that the city had a paper that was able to so timely and accurately place before the public such strong facts and figures as proof that the colored brother in this community is no drone or laggard, and measures up with most Metropolitan cities in his business sagacity, moral responsibility and pride of race. The issue was disappointing in only one instant, and that was that there were so many who were not represented. The edition was a forceful reminder of the progress of a race long downtroddin, vilified and persecuted, but still undaunted.

GOURDIN OF HARVARD By William Pickens (The Associated Negro Press) Much has been written in the last few days by the tardy Associated Press about the great Negro athletic star of Harvard University. Some have tried to minimize his achievement, and some have tried to damn his race, while reluctantly acknowledging him. The New York Daily News, for example said that no other Negro had amounted to anything in athletics, implying that therefore it was a mere accident in Gourdin's case. The editor of that paper showed his ignorance (or prejudice), for all others knew of Marshall, of Lewis, of Mathews, of Drew, of Bullock, and even of Earl Johnson, who was running away from the field in the Marathon Race at Pasadena while the little editor was penning his belitling lines But the truth stands out: that Gourdin is the greatest track star that Harvard has produced, or any other American University, so far as we have heard, and we have not heard of any foreign university which has produced his equal. Tell that to the Daily News. But we are thinking: What would have happened to Gourdin and to Harvard if such American prejudice as that displayed by this editor had had its way? Gourdin never would have been heard of. If he had gone to Princeton or to Yale, he never would have been heard from. They would have proven that he could not outjump the white boys by not letting him jump. That is the effective American method of proving the Ne- groes inferiority,—by putting him down at the tail end of the list without letting him compete. Gourdin won for Harvard; the record he made, is made for Harvard; Harvard will get the credit for all time. Other institutions are shutting out their own chances by keeping out the Negro, for undoubtedly the Negro students are, in proportion to their numbers, by far the greater athletes. But most of the schools would rather lose than win thru a Negro. Harvard has sense enough to know that as the ages roll by, it will not be said that a Negro beat white boys jumping, but that Harvard athletes beat all others jumping. The permanent gain is for Harvard. Harvard has stuck to Gourdin, and Gourdin has often won for Harvard. When southern schools objected to Gourdin, Harvard has given up its place in the contest rather than to insult or humiliate Gourdin by asking him to stay out and "be diplomatic" or "modest" to please southern prejudice. But now, if the editor of the New York Daily News or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had been President of Harvard, when white colleges in Virginia said that they would not compete with a "nigger", the colored lad would have been dropped and left in Cambridge, "tact" would have been used, lies told, and the white members of the Harvard team would have been sent on down to Virginia to compete—and lose. We give it to Harvard, that they chose well, not for Gourdin but for Harvard. Harvard acted, not pro-Negro but pro-Harvard. All the credits are theirs, the credits of the contest and the credits of common morals.—Do it again. MUSIC IN RELIGIOUS BODIES By J. Alice Stewart Of all the arts instituted by the Divine Creator, music is the most soul inspiring. It walks side by side with religion and stands hand clasped in hand with Christianity. Almost as many individuals have been brought to realize and acknowledge the Divine love of Christ through religious music and its powerful influence as has been by listening to the preaching of the gospel by theologians. It is greater than poetry, because it is a poem in itself. It excels all other arts, because it lifts one above the material, and we find ourselves in a realm of song and melody, which for the time being obliferates all present realities. The entire animal kingdom is susceptible to musical influence; from man who represents the highest type of animal to the beasts of the forest. We owe our chief musical terms to the Greeks; and they owe their's to earlier sources; for the essentials of their knowledge and practice are traced to the Egyptians. Theaplis 556 years before the birth of Christ introduced hymns in Greek writing which we, afterward translated. It was the classic Greek who first used music in chanting religious rites, and to accompany military evolutions. They brought the organ into use two centuries before Christ at their Olympic and other games. Christ introduced hymns in Greek writings which were afterward translated. But the hymn book from which all hymns books have more or less been copied was that which belonged to Winchester Cathedral: that music was written on a four line staff and three spaces. Before the 15th century, music was used almost universally in the churches. And for that reason, the majority of musicians who desired to maintain a livelihood from music, usually went to Rome. Luther issued a collection of poems for church singing in 1524, which were followed by many others in Northern Germany. And they be- THE MONITOR came so popular that the thousands who gathered at St. Paul's Cross joined heartily in singing Psalms before and after preaching. The placing of church songs upon the lips of the people has passed from generation to generation, until there is no church mentioned which does not at some time have musical service during the hour of worship. If music was absented from our religious bodies, the service would become monotonous and devoid of sentiment and pleasure as the religion would be without the divine love of Christ. Henry Date in one of his eloquent addresses declared that "Satan trembles MRS. J. ALICE STEWART Prominent Musician whenever he enters a church where everybody sings." And he also said, "The heart that cannot sing, needs Christ." Too much attention cannot be paid to the class and selection of music dedicated to religious organizations. Those who have charge of the musical part of these individual organizations, should be thoroughly musically educated. The members of the choirs should be note readers and music lovers. Christianity will never fail while men and women pray, praise and practice. The secret of the success of the late Moody and Sankry revivals was the manner in which the singing was conducted. There should be no restriction of musical instruments in the church service. All kinds of musical instruments can be dedicated to God. All that is harmonious and beautiful come from God. Cultivate a love for music in the home, in the Sunday school, in the church, and all its auxiliaries, and gradually the cultivation of the same would create a deeper reverence for the Creator, a greater love for humanity, religion would reach a more perfect attainment, and morality a higher standard.

I have been on this platform for the past year, the spot where Cleopatra trod, where Alexander the conquerer of worlds strode, but when I stand here on this platform I am not sure where I am. I do not get full liberty in the cities after I have helped to make them what they are. The white man has come to realize that I am not a slave, cannot arise. I shall not complain. The hoe has been taken from my hands, and a pencil placed in its stand. I have put it on my desk and I am together, let no man put asunder. I am on my way. I shall not try to keep the white man down. I shall try to put him down. I shall try to put him down. I shall not buy my ticket to Africa until the white man buys his ticket for Europe. We came to this country just about the time I came to America, the only difference being that the white man's ancestors came on first-class passage, while mine came in storage. But the same ocean brought me. Does Not Want Government Does Not Want Government I woke up early, who constantly uses the white man and the white man who constantly abuses the Negro in my hands. I would send the Negro to jail and the white man to the Negro knows better. They think the Negro wants to take the Government in hands. We do not want the government, what we want is to get into the government. I have never said to the American government that we possessions over to me, this is all I have said: 'Step up higher.' Move over that I may loose these chains. When we say again to the Negro Patience, A Man Today Fifty years ago, I was nothing, but today I am a man. I speak for the millions. I was down in the valley, and all I could sing was "I couldn't hear nobody prey on me." I stood and sing The Star, Spangled Banner. **Mandate Alabama** Wilson was the most intellectual man we have ever had as president. Understand. He was a man of great intellect. I would have had Lincoln. Had I meant kind, I would have said McKinley. Had I meant great, I would have said Roosevelt. Mr. Wilson invited Congress to take the oath of office. I am something you take, when you have no business with it. President Wilson should have taken a mandate over Alabama before attempting to take one over Armenia. The 18th provided for prohibition. Prohibition is impossible. The 12th Amendment provided that women should have equal rights, that is that she was man's wife. The 12th Amendment provides that the great moral question is not prohibition, but how to keep the American from taking the life of another without due process of law. Race With Future I am an American Negro, the only race with its future before it, not behind it. Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. Washington single lesson. Slavery has taught the great lesson. Slaves bid me speak to you to night. Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. Washington single lesson. Slavery has taught the great examples. Abraham Lincoln shows to us the heiphs to which man can rise. Booker T. Washington shows us the depths of the criminal justice. Criticizes Judges and Press Judges are afraid to render just decisions. The decisions are rendered with the Governor's are afraid to do their full duty. I saw nothing in the papers concerning my coming here to speak to-night. I noticed in The Omaha Bee, where Nina Negro, Why not put your names in the paper when we amount to something. The great teacher said: "The hold I set before the ane an open door, which no man shall shut. The American White Negro, the Negro. God placed him there, and the we pass through valleys and mountains, nothing can shut it. The people, who are the leaders of the race, (the Colored race anyway) I will not allow a doctrine of hate to be preached from your pulpits. It will not bring the results. Again I say to the Negro, have patience. Subscribe for the Monitor. YORK RITE MASONS STATE OF NEBRASKA, LANCASTER COUNTY, SS. Request of the Most Worshipful King Solomon Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted York Masons. Colored, of Kansas to file Articles of Incorporation in Nebraska. Protested by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons for the State of Nebraska and its Masonic Jurisdiction against filing constitution and Articles of Association of the Most Worshipful King Solomon Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted York Rite Masons. The protest held that the Articles of Association so clearly resemble the title in use by the Masonic order whose constitution is already on file as to mislead the public. The case was heard Tuesday after noon, June 7, 1921, at 3:30 o'clock, and we reject the application and find for the protestants. In substantiation of this issue we find that the names are similar, in that they both are: "Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Colored." That they both seek to have a Grand Lodge in Nebraska. We further find that the "Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons" have a Grand Lodge in Nebraska, which has been organized since 1919. We further find that in 10-cycle page 154 that: "Enabling acts which provide for granting charters or certificates of incorporation by the Secretary of State or other ministerial State officer, generally prohibit granting such charters or certificates where the name assumed or conflicts with the name of an existing corporation. Under such statute it has been well held that although the office of Secretary of State in this respect is a ministerial one, yet his power of refusing such a certificate is not restricted to cases where the assumed corporation name is an exact imitation of the pre-existing corporation, but that he has discretion to refuse such certificate when the name assumed so nearly resembles that of an existing corporation that confusion on the part of the public would be liable to rise between the two." In the case of the State vs. McCarthy-92-Mo. 355, it was held that the Secretary of State had the power to refuse a charter to a corporation similar to that of one already in existence. Therefore, Whereas under the A. F. & A. M. York Rite Masons have a Grand Lodge in Kansas that authorized the colored people to establish subordinate lodges anywhere in North America, the Kansas Grand Lodge will serve their purpose for a number of years without being inconvenienced. Furthermore, since the contesting party has only four subordinate lodges in the State, it is only a matter of justice that the offer be denied and that the protestants be sustained. (Seal) D. M. AMSBERRY, Secretary of State. —Advertisement.

MAMIE SMITH AND HER MANY NEW RECORDS Mamie Smith, one of the most popu- lar colored artists of the age, has for some years been appearing on the Vaudeville Stage with her Jazz Hounds. The first phonograph record she made for the Okeh Record was "That Thing Called Love" and "You Can't Keep a Good Man Down." The record was a big hit and was followed by her "Crazy Blues" and "It's Right Here For You." This record was a tremendous success and had by far the largest sale of any colored record ever made. Since then she has made a number of records, the latest being "Dangerous Blues" and "What Have I Done". Mamie Smith is an exclusive Okeh Artist and has recently travelled all over the United States appearing in concerts with her own company of colored artists. 1960 The General Phonograph Corp., the makers of Okeh Records, are regularly releasing records made especially for the colored race and issuing a special monthly supplement for the colored people. They feature as well as Mamie Smith, colored artists such as Gertrude Saunders who plays the lead in the latest colored production "Shuffle Along". Daisy Martin one of the most popular singers on the Vaudeville Stage and known as leading lady of the "Smart Set". Miss Martin as well as Miss Saunders are both exclusive Okeh Artists. In this special supplement you will also find records made by Tim Brynn and his Black Devil Orchestra playing some of the most popular blues. Ray Miller and his Black and White Melody Boys, The Southland Jubilee Singers and last but not least the Norfolk Jazz Quartette. This group of singers improvised all their own groaning moaning Blues songs. They have made the following popular Okeh Records: "Jelly Roll Blues" and "Southern Jack "Monday Morning Blues" and "Standing On The Corner". Y. W. C. A.

The toy ugly in form, design or color should not be given to children for it may offend an inherited artistic sense and misdirect a budding instinct for those things which are beautiful. One cannot expect a child to develop good taste if he is surrounded by articles and playthings which violate all the canons of symmetry and color. Turkey Bars Dictionaries.

OMAHA CAN OPEN ANY SAFE WITH WIRE King Victor Emmanuel Calls Lock Specialist Europe's Most Dangerous Man. SERVICES MUCH IN DEMAND Employed by People of All Nations and Professional Men to Open Safes That Have Jammed—Does it by Sense of Touch. Rome.—The man whom King Victor Emmannula hails as the most dangerous man in Europe is neither Communist, Socialist nor criminal. He like his father and grandfather before him, keeps a store where safes are sold. This in itself is not an unlawful profession, but he inherited from his father, besides the small store off the Plazza di Spragna, the knack of being capable of opening any safe in the world with the help of a bit of stiff wire. Never in his life has he been forced to break a safe open. He has been summoned by people of all nations and professional men to open safes that had jammed. But not only private individuals call him; the other day King Victor Emmanuel needed his services. The king had left his keys in his private safe, where his wonderful collection of coins is kept. He was worried, as his favorite amusement every day is rearranging these coins. He was very much worried until they told him that a specialist for safes lived in Rome and would be called to the royal villa. His Real Name Withheld. Mr. X (his real name must be kept secret, as the tax collector would levy a heavier income (tax were it known that he was called to the villa) bastened to the Villa Savioa and found the king pacing up and down the study. "You must not damage the safe, as there is my precious collection inside," said the king. "No, your majesty." replied Mr. X. "I do not need even to damage the lock." Mr. X looked with a professional air at the safe. "I am afraid you will find it a difficult task, as it is a Chubb Special!" said the king. Mr. X inserted the wire, felt with the wire inside, delicately twisted it here and there, then opened the safe door. "Here, your majesty, your safe is opened." The king was very much astonished, and said: "You are the most dangerous man I have ever met." Mr. X replied: "I would be I not honest." Mr. X is rarely in his store, as his fame has traveled abroad and he is often telegraphed for to start at a moment's notice. Before the war he was called many times to Berlin to open the ex-kaiser's safe and he was recommended also to Francis Joseph, who often left his keys inside his secret safe, and would allow no one but Mr. X to open or try to open it. Many Diplomats Can Help. Diplomats, lawyers, doctors, all call him when they need a reliable doctor for their safes. When asked how he did the trick, Mr. X said: "It is purely a question of touch. I am like a specialist who, without operating, can tell by examining a patient, by touching him what is the matter in face. Jamming of safes is like a case of lockjaw. With my wire I can locate the trouble inside the lock. Besides, my experience I inherited from father, who in his time was the only lock specialist in the world." Sometimes it takes five minutes, and often he has to probe for 20 minutes or half an hour, but never in his life has he had to damage a lock in order to open a safe. He is the most expert lock specialist in Europe and with this talent has remained always an honest man who glories in his profession—New York Tribune. BURNS HOME TO KILL SIX Parents Fearing Children Will Be Taken From Them by Aid Society Decide to Kill Them. Calgary, Alberta.—A confession that he and his wife deliberately set fire to their home, after soaking their four children's beds with gasoline so that all might be burned to death, was made according to the police, by J. J. Rutledge, an Iuniesfall farmer, the only survivor of his family. The man said he and his wife preferred death to being separated from the children, who, they feared, would be taken from them by a children's aid society. Rutledge knocked one child unconscious to save it pain, then lost his nerve and escaped severely burned. The man is in a hospital, charged with murder. THE MONITOR TENACITY WINS OUT Regenerating Efforts of Pea- ants Restore Flanders Fields. Belgians, Working to Rebuild Homes and Salvage Barren Lands, Aided by Loans of Motors. Brussels.—"No Man's Land" again belongs to the brave Belgian peasants, an apparent miracle having been wrought in Flanders fields by these courageous people, who, with the help of the Belgian government, have regained the ground which once seemed devastated beyond rehabilitation. Not satisfied with the deaths of soldiers, murders of women and children and devastation of cities, the German invaders sought to wipe out nature entirely, but their efforts were in vain. On the very places where, two years ago, the armies were rushing to liberate Belgium, and where the sea waters, receding uncovered grinning skeletons of German soldiers, buried in the mud of the Yser river banks, wheat and barley, corn and potatoes, flowers and young apple trees are now flourishing. For two years the Belgian peasants lived in huts, the ruins of their homes, or in German concrete shelters, suffering untold hardships in winter, but imbued with the spirit of regeneration. They worked to remove the barbed wire and unexploded shells, and many of them lost their lives when the plow met some buried shell. But perseverance won. From 313,000 souls in 1914 the population dwindled to nothing in 1918, and back to 185,000 in 1919. There is now a population of 237,000. The ministry of agriculture, under the management of Baron Ruzette and his staff of specialists, with M. Boerenhoon at their head, organized the relief work. Motor tractors were toured by the government. The fields, soaked with sea salt, were revived with chalk and chemicals, and Flanders awakened from her deadly sleep and is again bright with vegetation. The farms are bigger than ever before, and the concrete shelters which, two years ago, heard the German officers yelling to the unfortunate soldiers, "schweinhunde," now hear the grunting of little pigs, for the thrifty Flemish peasants have turned to account all of the salvaged implements of warfare which could be used. Here and there are sacred spots, bright with bloody poppies, marking the final resting places of the brave Belgian, French, British and American soldiers, untouched by the regenerating hands of the Flemish workers. BILLION AND HALF IN GOLD INTERNATIONAL There is fifteen hundred million dollars' worth of gold in a building in Wall street, New York. The building is the United States assay office, adjoining the sub-treasury, and there are approximately 250 tons of pure gold piled in bars and ranged in sacks of coin in the vaults. The gold in this one federal building is about one-fifth of the world's supply of the precious metal, and is by far the greatest amount of gold ever gathered in one place or one city. The flood of yellow metal that has gushed into the building since the war has come from every corner of the earth, and every week this bore of gold is increased by many millions. Almost every trans-Atlantic liner brings more of it, and no one knows when the flood will recede. All foreign coins received are melted into bars and these bars are numbered, tagged, tabulated and ready for shipment should the call come. The picture shows a workman removing gold from an anode. Not a grpain is lost. Mixity, Austria—One of the greatest finds of relics of prehistoric man in Austria comes from a cave near this place. The "Dragon's Den" is being excavated for its enormous deposits of bird-dropping phosphates. In a side cave evidences of human occupation were uncovered. Great quantities of quartz implements and other utensils and human bones have been taken out.

The fact is that the leaf is broad, and placed on a long leaf-stock so flexible as scarcely to be able to support it in an upright position. The upper part of the stalk is flattened, and, being at right angles with the leaf, is peculiarly liable to be moved by the faintest breath of air. One Friend Didn't Bother Her. Peggy used exceedingly bad English and was continually being corrected by her teacher, also her mother and aunt.
