WE'RE LIFTING BETTER LIFT ALSO! 5c a Copy Practically Uncommon in Expressing Keen Disappointment at Attitude Assume a Republican Many Leading Newspapers Sound Note of Warning Against Party's Short-Sighted Policy (By The Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—President Warren G. Harding, and the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Hon. John T. Adams, are getting some interesting reading these days. The colored newspapers of the United States are giving them some information that, by all that is right and proper, should carry for them the gretest significance. Protest Nation Wide From one end of the country to the other the newspapers have risen in mighty protest against the program of surrender recently inaugurated by the party of Abraham Lincoln, founded on human rights. There has never in the history of the nation been a more universal and uncompromising wail of dissatisfaction and disgust. Not Vindictive The significant part of the editorial expression with reference to the President and the Republican party is the fact that there is little or no vindictiveness but carry a spirit and tone of resolute determination that cannot be misunderstood. The central theme through all the mighty and convincing streams of logic pouring forth from the fertile pens of Negro editors is bound up in the one word of "Disappointment." The newspapers throughout the country, during the last election were unanimous in the endorsement of Warren G. Harding for President. Editors, known in the group to be radical in tendency, laid down their hammers and picked up a horn and tooted for the favorite son of Ohio. Words Versus Deeds They listened with great satisfaction to his fine words of justice and fair play in his address, and by news stories, display advertisements and editorials, as well as by word of mouth, urged the people to "vote the Republican ticket." Now, for the great new President, so early in the game, to step from the path of ree-titude, and for the great Republican party to throw out sop to the "Lilly Whites" has caused consternation that will not down. The Voice of the Press The Republicans of Virginia have begun an independent movement, and call for it to become nation-wide. The St. Louis Argus, one of the most in influential newspapersr of the race, editorially, calls for a national conference on political conditions in either Chicago or Cincinnati, on Thanksgiving Day, to work out a program of action. The Atlanta Independent, The St. Luke's Herald, the Richmond Planet, The Baltimore Afro-American, The Omaha Monitor, The Dallas Express, The Cleveland Call, in the President's own state of Ohio, the, Pittsburgh Courier, the East Tennessee, News, The Chicago Defender, and numerous other papers have sounded the alarm pending political dangers. The newspaper men, thru the committee established in Atlanta, have begun a warfare of propaganda in earnest. They are sending out cards with the following inscription: "The Republican party is the ship, all else the sea." — Frederick Douglass. What's the matter with the ship? Let's find out." Then all persons are urged to send a contribution to James T. Peterson, 610 State St., Mobile, Ala., treasurer to buy "Life Preservers at your own price," to save those who are aboard the ship. Those who buy are called "Life savers." ORGANIZE DRAMATIC (By The Associated Negro Press.)

SILAS JOHNSON SUCCUMBS TO SICKNESS Wife of Prominent Undertaker Passes Away at Family Residence After Protracted Illness MEMBER OF PIONEER FAMILY Ida May, beloved wife of Silas Johnson and oldest daughter of Cyrus D. Bell and the late Cecelia Scandrett, passed away at the family residence, 2518 Lake street about 11 o'clock Friday morning after a protracted illness of six month's duration. While Mrs. Johnson's health had not been the best for many years her last illness was directly traceable to severe injuries sustained over a year ago when she was knocked down by a coal truck on North Twenty-fourth street as she was about to board a street car. The injuries sustained then brought on complications which resulted in her death. She had been confined to her home and most of the time to her bed since March of this year. Mrs. Johnson was a member of one of the pioneer families of Omaha. She was born February 28, 1871, and had passed her entire life in this city. She passed successfully through the grade schools and attended Central high. She devoted herself to the study of music in which she showed decided ability. One of the first children to attend St. Phillip's Sunday school when it was organized by Dean Millspaugh in 1878 she was confirmed in Bishop Worthington's first class, presented by the Rev. John Williams in 1887, and was active for many years serving at times as Sunday school teacher, organist, member of the Alter Guild and of the Woman's auxiliary. July 18, 1894 she was married to Silas Johnson, then head-waiter at the Merchants' hotel, but who subsequently went into the undertaking business. She proved in every way a worthy helpmeet for her thrifty and progressive hub. Several months ago Mrs. Johnson gave directions for her funeral selecting the hymns she desired sung and her pall bearers, requesting Ben Stanley, organist of Trinity cathedral, whose pupil she had been to play. The funeral was held from the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, Monday morning at 9:30 with a requiem celebration of the Holy Communion. The church was crowded to its capacity, many being compelled to stand in the aisles. The Rev. John Albert Williams officiated. Internment was at Forest Lawn. The honorary pall bearers were Drs. J. H. Hutten and L. E. Britt, the Rev. Russell Taylor, Sergt. Isaac Bailey, T. S. Phillips and F. McRae and the active. Henry W. Blaxk, Jasper E Dorwn, Augustus Hicks, Charles H. Hicks, George Wells Parker and Emery R. Smith. Nathaniel Tatcher, of Kansas City, Kan., had charge of the funeral and was ably assisted by Joe D. Lewis and Mr. Thomas Riggs.

DR. J. R. A. CROSSLAND LANDS NICE POSITION Prominent Missouri Physician Made Special Expert in United States Veterans' Bureau By Wm. H. Davis, Correspondent Washington, D. C., Sept. 8.—A recent enactment by the U. S. Congress has abolished the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and, in its stead, has created the United States Veterans' Bureau, which consolidates under one head all the powers hitherto vested in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, DR J. A. C. CROSSLAND Federal Board of Vocational Training and U. S. Public Health Service. The creation of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau is the result of a bill (H.R.6611) introduced by Hon. Burton E. Sweet, of Waverley, Iowa, Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, Washington, was recently appointed and sworn in as director of said U. S. Veterans' Bureau. One of his first official acts, evidencing his deep interest in colored ex-service men, was to appoint Dr. J. R. A. Crosland, a loyal and active Negro Republican of St. Joseph, Missouri, as a "Special Expert" in said Bureau. Dr. Crossland, whose only son, during the recent world war, made the "supreme sacrifice," will especially look after the interests of colored soldiers and sailors and see that they are given all the rights, opportunities to which they are entitled under existing laws. With a force of colored clerks, stenographers, etc., he will have headquarters in the main Veterans' Bureau Building, corner Vermont Avenue and H streets, and all claims for compensation, war risk insurance, vocational insurance, vocational training, rehabilitation, medical treatment, etc. on the part of ex-service men of our racial group will be carefully looked after-if addressed to him. His selection for this important post was advocated and endorsed by the entire Missouri delegation in Congress, including Hon. Charles L. Faust of the 4th Congressional district, and Senator Selden P. Spencer, who were most active in his behalf. The position carries with it one of the best salaries yet given to any colored federal appointee. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland is eminently fitted for this position for a number of reasons: (1) He gave his only beloved son during the recent World War as a prieless tribute to the Altar of Patriotism, which makes him vitally interested in the welfare of all ex-service men; (2) for years he has been an active Republican, persistently pleading with tongue, pen and influence for the triumph of Re publican principles and Republican candidates; (3) he is a whole-souled race-man, widely and favorably known in fraternal, political business educational and religious circles, one who has been successfully engaged in the practice of medicine for the past thirty years and actively identified with numerous efforts for civic, educational, business and other forms of racial uplift.

TAFT'S FIRST CASE TO BE ONE OF COLOR New Supreme Court Chief Must Decide Whether Japanese Belong To White Race And Entitled To American Cifffenship BEARS ON RACIAL EQUALITY Question of Much Concern in Relation Eastern Matters to Occupy Attention of International Conference WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 7. — Contents that the Japanese are a white race and therefore entitled to American citizenship, are down for argument at the forth coming session of the United States Supreme Court. The case is No. 4 on the docket and may be heard on the first day Chief Justice Taft takes his seat, October 3. Apart from the extraordinary character of the litigation, which officially is entitled "Takao Ozawa versus the United States," it may be occupying the attention of the Supreme Court at the very moment President Harding's disarmament Far Eastern conference is in session. The claim of a Japanese to be recognized as a Caucasian thus may synchronize with the revival before the Washington conference of Japan's tenacious demand for "race equality". The Japanese petitioner, who is seeking to enforce his right to become a naturalized American, will be presented before the Supreme Court by George W. Wickersham, Attorney General of the United States in the Taft Administration who will be one of the first counsels to appear before his former chief. Argument Made By Japanese Arguments on behalf of the claimant will range around the "race origin" of the Japanese. It will be pleaded that "the root stocks and the dominant strain of the Japanese" are of the white race. Section 2169 of the revised statutes of the United States, governing naturalization of aliens and prohibiting the granting of citizenship to members of the Mongolian race, is the one under fire. Counsel for Takao Ozawa will urge that "the Japanese are a free" people, and that white Mongolian and Malay types are found among the Japanese, the Caucasian, or white type, is as prevalent." Case Up Three Times The case has been before the United States Supreme Court since 1917 and been "passed" on three successive occasions having come on a certificate from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (California) WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT IS SHOWN National Baptist Publishing Board At Nashville, Tennessee Makes Big Shopping NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 8.—(Special) Straight and alert, with not a black hair in his head and with a record of fifty-four years of active service in his denomination, Dr. R. H.Boyd the secretary, treasurer and manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board's plant at Nashville, Tenn., presented his report to the Baptists assembled in convention here. When he was introduced by the chairman, Rev. Dr. Clark, who has served with Dr. Boyd for twenty-five consecutive years the convention stood and he was given the chautaqua salute. Dr. Boyd held the floor for more than two hours. He gave a pen picture and a graphic description of the accomplishments of the Board under the most trying circumstances. He showed the enormous increase in the circulation of literature and the thousands of dollars that the plant had collected and expended in its operation since the thirty-first day of its August this year. Millions of dollars have been collected and spent by the Negro Baptists in disseminating doctrinal literature; millions of letters and about one hundred million copies of the periodicals have been circulated. The Board's report showed that the gross receipts for the year run over two hundred thousand dollars that the most modern improvements of a printing institution had been made; the acquisition of an additional twenty-five thousand dollars worth of property purchased at a bargain, which gives the Board the undisputed title to all the property now occupied by the plant at Nashville. The extension mission work as operated by the Sunday School forces was given pecial attention and the secretary took an occasion to explain, for the benefit of his hearers, the Bond Issue by which the plant proposes to raise and expend an additional one hundred thousand dollars in improvements giving employment to more members of the race. When the dawn of an individual's existence is overcast by the clouds of error and impurity, we may not expect to see its evening twilight, clear. —Alexander.

William Warley editor of the Louisville News, is a young man of sterling quality, He represents the new type of upstanding, progressive leadership which means so much for the future of our race. He has just done an unusual thing. He has held @ lucrative city political position for some years. But he resents the treatment given our people in that elty by the administration, Then, too, like many others he does not take kindly to the new attitude of the national administration towards our people. He advocates an independent warty. So Mr. Warley has done the manly thing. He has resigned bis city position to help put over an in- dependent ticket. It would be to his personal advantage, no doubt, to re- main with the administration; but he places race benefit above personal gain, something which our people holding political jobs seldom have the courage and manhood to do. Mr. Warley’s letter of resignation ad- Gressed to his chief, Mr. Searcy, clearly states his reasons for his act- jons and will repay careful reading. Tt is as follows: Dear Mr. Searcy: I am handing you herewith my res- ignation as “Special Investigator” in the Sinking Fund Commission. I do s0 to save you from embar- rassment and to save myself from humiliation. It naturally would be embarrassing for me to be continuat- ly eriticising the administration and holding an office under it. On the other hand it is humiliating to me to try to defend it when the thoughtful elements of my Race are wise to its short comings and are bitterly op- posed to its policies. There will be an open revolt against the party this fall ‘on the part of the thoughtful element of the Colored people. The non- appuintment of Colored men to office in any fair proportion to their vote and loyalty; the installation of “jim- crow” signs in the public parks; the opposition of the organization to Wil- son Lovett, Colored Candidate: the multiplicity of dives and bootlegging foints—all have left a bad taste in the mouth of thoughtful progressive Col- cored people. I am aliied by all the ties that bind to that element. Thetr cause is just and I cast my lot with : Announcement Extraordinary!

WHITHER SHALE WE GOT NO one who is in touch with the younger men and women of our Sroup can successfully deny the fact that they are thinking hard these days along political lines. Not only is this true of the younger group, but those who belong to the older and more con- servative element are plainly outspok- en in their criticism of the chgnged attitude of the Republican a to- wards our people. That there is rapidly reveloping a concensus of opinion that we must seek a new political alignment Is very evident. ‘The question is whither shall we go? ‘The Monitor believes that there will be a strong trend toward the Social- ists. There are, however,:those who believe that we should organize our own party and put our own candidates in the field. Why not? Think it over. Let us have your opinion as to whither we shall go politically.

A. has eliminated lynching, race riots, disfranchise- ment, segregation and discrimination for a large group of its eltizens sc that all Americans, colored and white, rich and poor, Gentile and Jew, can enjoy life, liberty and the pursult of happiness, then and not until then will this country be in a position to “clean up” other lands.—The Appeal. (St. Paul, Minn.) Nambers Versus Intelligence There are still more colored peo- ple in South Carolina than whites. The figures of the last census show that only 48.6 per cent of the popula- THE MONITOR $$$ tion are white, w fle 514 per cent are colored, » So far as numbers are concerned, there are enough colored people in South Carolina to break up every mob of white lynchers, and to put up ‘4 political party of their own against the regularly established party of jwhites, and overwhelm them at the polls. South Carolina has numbers of colored people enough to do this, but the colored population is not suffi- jetentiy inteligent to do it. Only one ‘out of every third man can write his name, Superior intelligence beats num- bers every time. If the colored peo. ple of South Carolina were twice or three times or even a hundred times their present strength and had no more intelligence than they have now they would still be governed by 2 handful of whites, and lynched by them at their diseretion—The Afro- American, (Baltimore, Md.) Against Cathie; Jews snd Reawins We have never thought sertously that the Ku Klux Klan would ever ‘really amount to anything except nuisance and a menace to Colored ‘people in the rural unprotected sec: tions. ‘That was when we had con- cluded that the Klan only meant to “Keep the Negro in his place.” But since it has leaked out that the Ku Klux Klan is against the “Catholics, Jews and Negroes” we know it is “Good night, Ku Klux.” The Colored Brother is the weak- est of the trio, we admit. And we seriouly doubt if he meant to take any Ku Klux foolishness without giv. {ng an “eye for an eye’. But with the other two elements of the na: [tion's population—two of its strongest elements, the Jew and the Catholie— to have cmon cause with him, the Colored Brother need bother no long. er. That is to say it is omly a mat ter of time now and the Ku Klus Klan will go back to the grave from which it sprung “unwept, unhonored and unsung.” But while we are pass ing we might point out the irony o this thing: the Klan calls itself 10¢ [per cent American and says its objec fs to crush all un-Americanism.

Official Tulsa and therefore Tulsa at large is NOT helping in proportion to the appalling need. People are without stoves, cooking utensils, quilts and bedding of all kinds—the merest necessities of existence—and ready money. ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS COURAGE TO FACE THE FUTURE. Mr. James L. Fieser, Southwestern Division Manager of the Red Cross said: "Winter's approach worries the Red Cross." Unless Tulsa wishes to have a tent colony on its hands in the fall and face a more serious problem, it should speed up its reconstruction program.

SIX YEARS IN FROZEN NORTH Canadian Mounted Police Corporal Returns From Arctic With 2 Eskimo Murders. PATROLLED CORONATION GULF Expects to Return to Solitude After Short Holiday at Home—Punishment of Criminals Makes Natives Respect White Man's Law. Montreal—In May, 1915, Corporal Cornelius of the Royal Northwest mounted police left Edmonton for Herschel island. He departed quietly, without any flourish of trumpets. He returned the other day to civilization again for the first time, as silently as he had left it. Over six years of his life has been spent in the Arctic wilderness, four of them in the sole company of two Eskimo murderers, sentenced in 1914, and freed by order of the government later. Two years were passed at Fort McPherson, where the big supply of provisions and building material were disposed, comfortable winter quarters established, and patrols of the surrounding country undertaken. The two Eskimo murderers who were taken out by the corporal and offered their freedom were so much taken with the ways of the white man that they asked permission to enter the service of the police, and were both engaged, much to their delight. They tendered great service as guides and interpreters, and the white man's law has never had a better advertisement in the Arctic circle than given to it by these two men, tried, punished and released by its officials as a warning to others. Two Years in Wilds. In 1917 Corporal Cornellus was joined by Constable Brockie and the two set out for Herschel island where they spent two years with frequent patrols in the far corners of the uncharted wilds. Their next move was along the shores of the Arctic to Corporation gulf, a dog-sled trip of some 800 miles, where another two years were passed in patrols to Bathurst inlet, Kent peninsula. All points on the south and west sides of Victoria island to Victoria Land and Prince Albert sound were made during that period. The final trip was taken from Coronation gulf via Bear lake to Fort Norman, down the river to Fort McPherson, then north to Herschel island, and back by the coast to Coronation gulf once more, with another return trip via Herschel island through Fort McPherson up the Mackenzie river and home by the summer steamboat. This latter trip was taken by dog sled, a distance of 1,100 miles being covered. The total patrols by dog sled last winter ran around 2,500 miles. New headquarters were made at Fort Epworth, the patrol, accompanied by Staff Sergeant Clay, establishing this post. The party lived in snow huts for the greater part of this time, and subsisted on the simple diet of the wilds elked out by such rations as they were able to carry on sleds. They built a wooden hut at Fort Epworth, however, and enjoyed a mild taste of civilization. Two Are Acquitted. In 1918, two alleged Eskimo murders were brought in by the coast route by Sergeant Conway. These two men, Kayngua and Komuk, had been tried by Inspector Phillips for the murder of an Eskimo woman, whom both of them claimed as wife. They were, however, acquitted, owing to lack of evidence, and Clay, Cornellus and Brockle took them back by way of Herschel island and the Arctic to Coronation gulf, where the two were allowed to rejoin their tribes. Corporal Cornellus says that the trial of the four Eskimos had had an excellent effect on the general conduct of the tribes as a whole, while conduct of the four principals has been most exemplary. Kayngua and Komuk were seen several times on later patrols, their bands being usually found on the ice at the head of the Coppermine river, and each time the patrol received a warm welcome. Despite their years of isolation and hardships both Corporal Cornellus and Constable Brockle are looking forward to a return to the North in the near future. They will now enjoy a well earned holiday, and both are leaving at once for their respective homes, Cornellus going to Halifax and Brockle to Winnipeg. Curious Masterpieces.

LIVES IN PERPETUAL TERROR Man Falls From Train During Fight Which Resulted From Disagreement Over Dice Game and Antagonist Thought Him Dead. Kansas City, Mo.—Reuben E. Hall of Paris, Mo., met face to face in a Denver (Colo.) street a man whom he thought he had killed 14 years ago and the memory of whose alleged death had hung him all these years. A letter telling of the remarkable case came from Denver to L. H. Shatzer, manager of the Tool Specialty company. It was from Shatzer's half brother, Reuben E. Hall. Hall, a young farmer near Paris, Mo., went to the Kansas harvest fields to work in 1907. He disappeared. The letter received by Mr. Shatzer was signed with a strange name, Harry E. Thomas. It contained this story of the disappearance of the new name: In Perpetual Torment. For 14 years Hall, under the name of Harry E. Thomas of Denver, has quaked at the sight of a police officer, He has avoided all persons he knew when he was Hall. He has spent wakeful nights, fearing arrest for murder. A wife and then a child served to add to his anxieties. What, if they should discover he had killed a man? But the worry is over. Thomas was walking recently on a Denver street. He met the man for whose murder he believed he was hunted, the letter states. The two recognized each other at the same time. The "murdered" man held out his hand in greeting. "I thought I killed you." Thomas "I thought I killed you." Thomas gasped. "Land, no," the "victim" replied. "I was only bruised a little." In the 14 years since his disappearance Hall's family has mourned him as dead. Relatives after a diligent search, took steps to collect his insurance, but lacking proof of death, were unable to do so. Of what happened after Hall, with $175 in wages, left the harvest fields the letter has to say: "I got into a dice game, I won $750. One of the heavy losers was John Williamson. He and I fought over the game, then patched up our differences. Friendly, we climbed into a box car to go to Kansas City. We quarrelled again, fought, and Williamson fell from the train in the fight. Not Guilty of Murder. "The next day I read in a paper that the body of an unidentified man had been found on the railroad right of way. I was not guilty of murder, but to prove it was a different thing. Others had seen us quarrel. "I went West, changed my name to Thomas and grew up with the country. Finally I settled in Denver, was married and now have a daughter six years old. "You cannot imagine the relief now, Williamson went home with me, and we told my wife and daughter. I am the happiest man in the country. We are coming to see you and all the rest of the folks right away. I can hardly wait." YANKS RUN PERU'S SCHOOLS Entire Educational System of Country Under Direction of American Professors. Lima. Peru.—Virtually the entire educational system of Peru is now under the direction of American professors who were called upon here recently to complete an educational reform movement begun ten years ago. The foreign educational experts are to develop the system, from the primary grades to the university, in accordance with the special needs of each section of the country. Dr. Harry Erwin Bard, formerly secretary of the Pan-American Society of the United States and formerly connected with the Philippine educational mission, was chosen by President Leguia to direct the reorganization. Dr. Baird has been appointed general of education, and under him are more than twenty American professors. AIR ROUTE OPENED TO BAGDAD Regions Isolated by Deserts Made Accessible by Aerial Transport. London.—Regions that would have to wait many years before they could be traversed by railways are now quickly mastered by aerial transport. News comes from the air ministry that a new air route has been opened up across the desert between Palestine and Mesopotamia. Notification has been received of the arrival at Bagdad of three airplanes of the royal air force which have flown over this route. The new route is about 580 miles long. It starts from Ramleh, passes through Anuman and Kasr Azrak, where landing grounds have been prepared, and proceeds thence in an almost straight line across the Arabian desert to Ramadleh on the Euphrates, and the thence to Bagdad. Moor's Holy City. Shesluan, in Morocco, is one of the few cities left in the world whose streets have never been trodden by a white man.
