WE'RE LIFTING BETTER LIFT ALSO. $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy HARDINGS SPEECH BRINGS CRITICISM FROM CHICAGOANS Prominent Leader Charge President With Endorsement of Segregation of Colored America in His Recent Ads Editor Abbott of Chicago Defe.der in Interview Logically Analyzes Propositions Advanced Chicago, Ill., Nov. 10.—Prominent leaders of the race were interviewed by the Chicago American as to their views upon Harding's Birmingham speech. There was practical unanticipity of approval of his plea for larger political educational and industrial opportunities; but there was decided disapproval of other portions of the speech. It was pointed out that the Presidents' endorsement of the vicious principle of segregation renders difficult the securing of those very rights for which the president pleads. Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender and a member of the Illinois interracial committee appointed by Gov. Lowden, condemns the President as having yielded to the South's prejudices and viewpoint except in the manner of Negro suffrage. "President Harding going within the shadow of the former capitol of the Confederacy and devoting his first speech in the South to the Negro question." Mr. Abbott says, "makes of the Negro everywhere in the United States, a problem, for when the President asks the black man to have an ideal as a black man and not as any other man he is in fact improving the spirit of segregation which is the basis of the economic oppression of the Negro in all sections of this country. SCORES SEGREGATION. "The most degrading and aggravating ill from which the black man suffers in the South is the jim-crow car in intrastate and interstate travel. When the President of the United States asks the black citizens of this country to feel themselves as different from other citizens, he is asking them to acquiesce in segregation on the railroads, in the departments at Washington, in holding political jobs where they must come in contact with other races, and in the colored boy's elimination from the opportunity to even prepare to serve his country by attending the military and naval schools at West Point and Annapolis. "As to social equality—that matter will naturally take care of itself, even if white men, principally in the South continue to raise families by black women to whom they are not married. Maj. Adams E. Patterson, lawyer and secretary of the National Negro Democratic League, thinks the President's speech will rank with Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. "The President's speech is very timely," he says, "and contains the logical working basis for the solution of the Negro question in this country. I have read it very carefully and believe that every broadminded American of both races will admit that what he says is true. Louis B. Anderson, alderman and politician, is of the opinion that the President meant well but said some things which the Negroes cannot accept as sound advice. EQUALITY IS BUGABOO. "I am surprised that the President paid so much attention to the social equality bugaboo," he said. "The average Southerner thinks the Negro has only one object in life and that is to mingle freely and socially with the white man. This is a mistaken idea. The President is exactly right when he advises the Negro to divide his vote—provided all conditions are equal. Rev. S. E. J. Watson, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church and an official of the National Negro Equal Rights League, contends that the Negroes should feel themselves honored to know that the President has been giving some thought to the growing restlessness of the Negro and recognized that a discussion of the colored man was of more importance to the South than the discussion of other questions of national concern. COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB OPENS IN NEW QUARTER The C. C. C., formally opened in its new quarters 2414 Maple St., Sunday afternoon. Nearly two hundred persons availed themselves of the open house invitation and visited the snug and tasteful home of the club. The house was beautifully decorated with choice flowers and ferns. Doors were formally opened at 1:00 P. M. and continued until 6:00 P. M. The club was formerly located at 2120 N. 24th St. The reception was under the direction of the executive board. The new quarters consist of Labor bureau, Omaha Public Library reading room, Boy Scout's meeting room, office for the Y. M. C. A. worker and a THE MONITOR plan for a children's reading room. The Boy Scouts have rooms for their meetings, games, and practices as well as an out-of-doors basket ball court which is being prepared in the back lawns of the building. They are under the direction of Dr. Craig Morris, Scout Master, Troop 23 which has its quarters in the C. C. C. has two scouts of the first class, the only one of color in the state of Nebraska. The public library is another great feature. This is equipped with books by all leading authors, leading magazines and papers. It has also picture books for children.

DIAMOND THEATER IMPROVED "I'll make this theater one of the best or go broke trying," were the remarks made recently to a member of the Monitor staff by Mr. Adams, the new proprietor of the Diamond theater. A later visit of inspection by that staff member thoroughly convinced him that this versatile young manager had made good his promise. This visit showed many improvements both in the building and the class of shows carried in this place. One needs only to look in to see the very classy appearance of this show house. The highest type of pictures are produced and the surroundings are ideal. The Diamond is located in the center of the most exclusive residential section of our people in Omaha. People who use the movies as a recreation, but who much prefer staying at home to going to a house where the surroundings and shows are a mere make-shift. The new management has caught the true sentiment of these people and is sparing no money or pains in removing all objectionable features. They have already booked a great variety of high class shows many of which are purely colored casts. The theater is owned and operated by Messrs. Adams and Martin. These young men ought to be congratulated for their efforts and determination to provide these improvements and the people of the neighborhood surrounding this show house will find the same satisfaction here as can be found flown town. Go and see for yourself. !MPRESSIVE SERVICES AT Last Thursday night a unique and impressive service of intercession was held at Trinity Cathedral for the success of the conference for disarmament. All the clergy and congregations of the Episcopal church in Omaha, and from two places outside with those of the Greek Orthodox communion took part in the service. The flags of the allied nations were carried in procession and extended down the centre aisle from the door to the chancel steps, while Bishop Shayler inscribed the litany with special suffrages for universal peace. Bishop Shayler also delivered a brief address. Special intercessions were offered at the altar, by Bishop Shayler and by the Rev. Alexander Protacholes in the Greek tongue. MRS. WILLIAM MURPHY IN- JUED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mrs. William Murphy narrowly escaped death in an automobile accident at Twenty-second and Grace streets Saturday night about 7 o'clock while being driven to the Burlington station by Roy McAllister, driver for J.

ÒMAHA, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOV. 17th, 1921 Armament Conference THE MUSICIAN Miss Sirilda Belva Spicer, who recites in her Humorous, Classic and Original selections, at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, 24th and Ohio Sts., Wednesday, November 23. An entertainment worth your while. Admission 20 and 35 cents. What is it that prime ministers, generals, diplomats, admirals of the governments of Europe will discuss in Washington when the Armament Conference begins there on November 12. It is nothing less than whether or is to be permitted to wipe out what we know as civilization. Europe has been shattered by the armies and navies which were to "guarantee peace." Starvation stalks in Russia and Central Europe. There is hunger, misery and unemployment throughout the world. As yet, no one knows whether mankind can "get-to-gether" whether men can salvage the wreckage that world war has left in its wake. The young manhood of an entire generation was blasted, poisoned, blown to shreds on the battlefields of Europe. Disease, famine and revolution confront the masses who survive the war. We know now that armies and navies do not prevent war. They help to bring it on. A fight is much more likely to occur when men carry loaded pistols on the hip. So the "Disarmament Conference" in Washington represents hope. Throughout the world men know that if life is to be made tolerable and decent, war must be made a thing of the past. It is this hope which the Washington conference represents. What is the especial interest of the Washington conference for the colored races of the world? Millions of the colored races of the cold have been held in subjection by those very armies and navies, which the white governments finally turned against each other. Every nation taking part in the Washington Conference has committed crimes against weaker colored peoples. Great Britain has held India. She fought China to force the Chinese to buy that terrible drug, opium. Even now there are unrising in India which are being put down in bloody combat. France has imposed her rule on Indo-China Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain have killed, robbed, exploited the natives of Africa, Haiti for five ears was subjected to the bayonets and bullets of United States Marine. This robbery of the weak has been down as imperialism. European governments reached out for territory in which they could obtain raw material cheap and make the natives buy manufactured products at a high price. The excuse was often that it was necessary to "civilize" the natives or maintain "order." What the men in control of the white governments were after, was profit, money. And the most effective part of the transaction were armies and navies. In reaching out for undeveloped territory, the white governments came into conflict. A number of writers including Mr. E. D. Morel and M' Valter Lippmann, in his "The Stakes of Diplomacy" have asserted that it was scrambling over the loot in Africa and other territories that brought about the World War. The greed of white governments found its punishment. The time has come when Western Civilization will have to change its methods in dealing with the colored races. For Africa has been gobbled up. There remains only China and the Far East to be disposed of. Europe has been maintaining its inequi- table and out-of-date society at the expense largely of the colored races of the world. They will have to be taken into partnership, and the machinery of force discarded by which they have been held in subjection. This is the broad background of interest for the colored peoples of the world, black, yellow and brown, in the Washington Conference. So it will be seen that it is not merely "disarmament" which is to be discussed there. In fact the invitation to the conference did not mention the word "disarmament." On August 12 of this year months after Senator William E. Borah had proposed a resolution calling for a three power conference on naval disarmament between Great Britain, Japan and the United States, the newspapers published the text of a note sent out by Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State of the United States. The note was sent to the governments of Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy and China inviting them to send representatives to a conference in Washington on the subject of the limitation of armament, in connection with which Pacific and Far Eastern questions should also be discussed." It will be seen that the note did not mention "disarmament" but "limitation of armament." In other words the question proposed for discussion was not the abolition of existent armies and navies but agreements to limit the future increase of those already in existence. For this reason it is a mistake to call the Washington conference a "disarmament conference." Every one of the nations invited has accepted the invitation which Secretary Hughes sent them. In consequence there will be such a gathering in Washington, as the world has never in its history known before. Existing governments of the world will be represented by their ablest and most astute ministers, experts in colonial administration, financiers, diplomats and military and naval officers. The generals who led the allied armies in the war world Foch of France, Diaz of Italy, Haig of England; Admiral Beatty of the British fleet; viceadmiral Kato, Director of the Naval Staff College of Japan—these are figures who will help to represent their governments in Washington. And at the head of the various delegations will be David Lloyd George, prime minister of Great Britain; Aristide Briand, Premier of France; Dr. W. W. Yen, Minister of Foreign Affairs for China. To represent the United States President Harding has appointed four men: Eilhu Root, former Senator and Secretary of State; Osean Underwood, Democratic leader in the Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator from Massachusetts; and Charles Evans Hughes, now Secretary of State. Whether the delegates to the Armament Conference realize it or not—and some of them undoubtedly do—the future of European civilization is at stake. Many of the men who will be in Washington took part as generals in the war. Many of them are partly responsible-for the conditions in Europe which made that war inevitable. It has been said that to invite generals and admirals to an armament conference, with a view to reducing or abolishing armies and navies, is like inviting a conference of burglaries to devise measures for protecting homes. But those armaments will have to be reduced if there is not to be more war, such disastrous and horrible war as mankind has not yet ever suffered. Whether those delegates in Washington come to an agreement or not on the reductions of armies and navies depends largely on the people of the United States. It is up to the people to dmand that the conferences shall be held in the open. They must demand that no small group of men sitting behind closed doors have the power to condemn the world to further misery. Closed doors failed to make a peace after the world war in Versailles. The men who failed to make a decent peace there now have their last opportunity. The penalty will be ruin, the last and greatest tragedy of white Europe. Meanwhile, Americans should demand to know why ninety-three cents out of every dollar of their government's money in 1920 was spent in paying for past wars and in preparing for future wars. (In the next article Mr. Seligmann will discuss the political issues which confront the conference.) SETTLEMENT OF LOAN TO LIBERIA NEAR President. King. and Commissioners Expect to Return to West Africa Next Month Washington, D. C. Nov. 5.—Secretary of State Hughes is nearing a settlement of the terms under which this government is to lend the Republic of Liberia $5,000,000. President C. B. D. King and a commission from Liberia have been here for several months to prevent the cancellation of the loan as was threatened at one time, and to arrange the terms so that they would call for any yielding sovereignty on the part of Liberia. With Congress favoring the loan, following the announcement of both President Harding and Secretary Hughes that America could not go back on its promises to Liberia, the State Department set about to modify the terms imposed by the Wilson administration, with the result that the arrangements will be completed within a week or ten days and the Liberian party will set sail for home. MRS. GRANGER PASSES AWAY Rebecca Virginia, wife of Robert Granger, died at their home, 746 B Street, last Wednesday at 8:45 P.M. after about six months' illness. Mrs Granger had a lovable disposition being a true Christian woman. She came to Lincoln some seventeen years ago uniting with Mt. Zion Baptist Church in which she did available work until sickness came on. She, through arduous work, accumulated property, and was well liked, gaining many friends. The deceased is survived by her husband, a mother in Burlington, Kans., seven sisters, one brother, niece and a number of friends. The funeral was held at Mt. Zion Church, Sunday at 2:30 P. M., Rev. H. W. Botts preached. A solo was sung by Mrs. Odessa Patrick. Resolutions of conscience were read on behalf of the church by Mrs. W. Robt. B. Alexander; on behalf of the Mission Circle by Mrs. M. Todd; on behalf of the Sunday School Mrs. Lola Howard. Miss Opal Ashford sang a beautiful solo. The choir rendered the music. The following named sisters and kin were present: Miss Mary Mason, Miss Rose Mason, Topeka, Kans., Mrs. Bell Moore, Miss Ethel Barnett, Olatha, Kansas; Mrs. John Caphart, Mrs. Sarah Parker, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

WANTS PATRONAGE OF ALL CLASSES Mr. Kernan, the courteous and energetic manager of the Omaha Milk Co., whose modern plant is located on North 24th Street, near Seward, alleges that representatives of another milk firm, which has a large patronage among the colored people is spreading the propaganda that the Omaha Milk Co. is partial to and ca- Vol. VII. No. 20. Whole No. 332 ters to the colored people. An attempt has been made to prejudice white patrons by claiming that this plant is located in the "Black Belt" and allows special privileges in the plant to colored patrons. While such propaganda will have little effect upon sensible people, it may affect some. Mr. Kernan desires to have it distinctly known that the Omaha Milk Co. is out for business and frankly admits that he wants the patricage of all classes of citizens. The Company appreciates its growing patronage among both colored and white patrons and will do all in its power to deserve that patronage. STATE MISSIONARY STATE MISSIONARY Rev. M. H.

COLORED WOMEN MOST BEAUTIFUL SAYS PROFESSOR Fredrick Starr of Chicago University, Eminent Authority on Anthropology, Makes Assertion Which Causes Comment REAL BEAUTY WITH LIBERIANS Americans and Blonde Races Being Hybrids are Simply Impossible as Types of the Beautiful. (Special to the Monitor.) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 10.—It has remained for a Chicago Professor to advance a theory of beauty which runs counter to the standards which are generally accepted in this country. Fredrick Starr who spent several months in Liberia, studying the native races, is the man who has made what some of us consider a belated discovery, namely that real beauty is found among the dark skinned people. “There are no beautiful women in the United States. It is only our American good nature that makes us call a girl who is not phenomenally ugly, a pretty girl.” Fredrick Starr, professor of anthropology, has been added to the Society of Noted Crepe Hangers by the University of Chicago “co-eds” because of the forgoing statements which he made to a startled—to put it mildly—class. “Only among Liberian and kindred races is real beauty to be found. These girls have American belles looking like broken down vampires. They are pretty, because they are pure color race.” Continuing the professor stated. “A handsome man or woman is the rarest of all creatures. There is no real beauty in the United States.” "Our standards of beauty would be denied by any European nation," he said, "The Korean yellow race quite frequently surpasses us in specimens of beauty. The Igorrotes at the World's Fair were everywhere marveled at for their physical attributes. "Beauty in a blond race is next to impossible. It is more difficult for a blonde to measure up to beauty standards than it is for a brunette. The same holds true of races. It is easier for the darker races to maintain the high standard required of beauty experts than for the lighter races." LINCOLN NEWS Mrs. A. G. Smith, wife of Rev. I. B. Smith, met with an accident last Wednesday when she was leaving her place of employment, on descending a flight of stairs, slipped and fell, breaking one arm and spraining the other.

Telephone Douglas 1008 correct; but he cannot mean that the Negro race has contributed any more to the universality of the problem than any other race whose members are scattered all over the earth. When our President asserts that social equality must be eliminated from the whole question of political and economic equality, he invites the undying query: what is social equality? Who has the unchallenged right to fix a standard? When the President asks that Negroes be Negroes without imitating white mem, he speaks well, but not sufficiently. What he should mean, and he probably does mean, is that the Negro should be the very best possible man, without qualifications at all. What is the best Negro? Or, what is the best white man? The statement means nothing, unless the President, by making use of it, meant to convey the idea that the best man is the white man; and that the Negro is less than the best, and therefore inferior, and for this reason "social equality" is impossible. Is this his meaning?" Social equality has never disturbed the Negro. The intelligent Negro knows that equality is a matter of opinion. If the Jew thinks he is equal to the Gentile, that is his opinion and to him that is the law of equality. If the Japanese thinks he is equal to the American white man, that is his opinion, and to him that is law enough on the question of equality. One man is equal to another only when he is. The Jew is equal to the Gentile only when he is. Social equality is a question for the individual, and the Negro knows the truth quite as well as does the white man. But where confusion arises is when the white man refers to social equality as something desired by Negroes because by its acquisition they think they establish a racial equality through social contact. The Negro does not think any such thing. He has never accepted any race as being superior to his own. He has accepted the truism that the white race, by unlawful practices, has gained a decided economic advantage over the Negro, especially in the United States. But this economic advantage has nothing to do with race equality. If the South and North will give the Negro his educational, political August Anderson Groceries and Meats 24th and Clark Sts.

BAKERY THE MONITOR and his economic justice—give him all America has to offer any other American in these fields of endeavor, the President's philosophy of the "fundamental, eternal and inescapable race differences" would find greater support among Negroes than among whites. The one complaint of the Negro is the refusal of the United States to allow him to demonstrate the truth that racial differences as such deal not in "qualities and inequalities superiority and nferocity," but in racial characteristics only. As American citizens the Negro desires to be treated as other Americans who differ from him only in race and racial characteristics. He rebels against an Americanism which treats a white American better than it does a black American. This is not Democracy. His own racial identity the Negro desires most of all. His own racial characteristics are his inherited wealth; he wants that left to him without invasion of any source. He knows himself better than anyone knows him; he prefers his own leadership, and would succeed admirably under it, if his leaders were allowed to prosecute a leadership in harmony with their own racial ideals. But white leadership invariably intervenes. He desires his share of the work to be done in his own country at a wage in keeping with the standards of living in his country. He desires to be included among the nation's assets. He desires simply to share the fruits of his country with the same freedom and tolerance as he enjoys when he goes to war for the flag. If the country will take hold of the suggestions of the President, and decide to reduce them to practice with as much sincerity as attended their utterance there is every reason to hope that the few imperfections lurking in the philosophy of President Harding will be worked out as the program progresses. Commends President's Speech EDITOR MONITOR:— I was asked what I thought of Mr. Harding's speech. From many angles I heartily appreciate and approve of Mr. Harding's speech. The Negro has the same right to be highly educated as any other race, and should be given the same rights and privileges as all other Americans in this land of the free and the home of the brave, if there be such a place. The Negro has no problem—it is the white man's problem. The Negro does not want social equality, but he does want equal educational opportunities, justice of the law and the privilege to go in any public place where he is able to pay his way, the same as all other races. When the Negro is allowed his rights, given him by the 14th and 15th amendments—there will be no Negro Problem. Politically, I do not believe there ought be a solid South and a solid North, pretending they are fighting over the Negro Problem—there should be no race problem. Every voter should vote for the party they think would look after all the people and the interests of the United States. One word for the Ku Klux Klan—you say you are for 100 per cent Americans, if so you should consult the Negro first for your organization. In all battles or all other places of trust, the Negro has proven himself 100 per cent American.

Seeks Information on Cost, Character of Construction and General Condition of Country's Roads—Asks Co-operation. Washington.—The bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture will shortly undertake a survey of the mileage, cost, character of construction and general condition of the nation's highways. The survey, which is the most extensive ever undertaken and the first in seven years, is to be made with the aid of state and local officials and individuals the country over, and is comparable only to the great task of taking the national census. Nobody, in all probability, could guess today within millions of dollars what the roadways total, in dollars and cents, on the ledger of the national assets. Nobody knows how many miles there are where wheels may roll. The strength and the weakness of the nation's transportation arteries likewise are unknown in detail. When the survey is completed, all these and other facts will be known and will be available for guidance to road builders. In addition there will be abundant data to show up comparisons of costs. The well-built roads of say, Pennsylvania can be laid, dollar for dollar and mile for mile, alongside the well-built roads of California and other states. First cost and maintenance of macdam, asphalt, concrete—every kind of road built—from one section can be matched against such costs from every other section, if desired. The way to make the dollar most effective in road work thus will be pointed out. Rural highways as well as urban are to be included, the latter embassing all roads, streets and alleys in incorporated communities of 2,500 inhabitants or more. How the funds are provided for constructing and maintaining roads also will be made known. The amount invested in road machinery—an item concerning which even approximate information is lacking today—will be sought. After the information is obtained it will be kept up to date. In undertaking the survey the bureau requests the assistance of every unit of government doing road work in the nation; of road officials the country over, and of associations, organizations and individuals, down to the man with a diver, having information or data as to local highway activities. As future legislation may be based on percentage of road mileage, it is pointed out that it is essential for each unit to have its total, as well as its improved road mileage, carefully and correctly recorded in the survey. Wedding Days in Holland. In orderly Holland, where everything happens by rule, the different classes of society choose different days of the week on which to be married. For some unknown reason Monday is society's day and marriage fees for that day amount to a sum approximate to $24. On Saturdays the charge is $2, or nothing at all if the couple do not wish a separate ceremony, and are willing to join a group of 20 couples. At these group marriages, the clerk rends the service once all the couples making the responses in chorus.
