COLORED MAN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL BY OVER HALF MILLION MAJORITY Record-Breaking Congreta, Inspiring Music, Eloquent Sermons, Generous Offerings Mark the Day. WEATHER CONDITIONS IDEAL The bright spring sunshine and balmy air were contributory to the record-breaking congregations which filled all of our churches on Easter day. All denominations report inspiring services. The services at the Episcopal church of St. Philip the Deacon began with the early eucharist at 6:30, at which time the church was well filled, and ended with the children's vesper service and baptism at 5 o'clock. At 11 o'clock the church was full. The music rendered by a choir of thirty voices, supported by the organ and Dan Desdunes, violinist, was excellent, the solo parts in the anthem, being admirably taken by Dr. John Andrew Singleton, tenor; Meedames Augustus Hicks and Dan Desdunes, sopranos, and Mrs. Dana Murphy, alto. The sermon theme was "Christ, Our Passover." At the vesper service the sacrament of holy baptism was administered to George Gregory Bullock, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. W. Bullock; Dorothy Gertrude, Herbert Dunes and Arthur Burgess, children of Sergt. and Mrs. Melvin McCaw. Easter cards and eggs were distributed to the children. Offerings totaled something over $300, including $100 given by Silas Johnson for a memorial to his wife Ida May (Bell) Johnson who as a child was one of the first to attend when the Sunday school, out of which St. Philip's Mission grew, was first organized, and remained a devout communicant throughout her life. St. John's A. M. E. church had overflowing congregations at both morning and evening services. The music under the direction of John C. Parker and rendered by the vested choir was excellent. Mrs. R. Dewey Allen sang "Calvary" with great effect. In the evening a cantate was sung by the choir, the readers of the narrative being Leon Robinettee and Mrs. E. G. Russell. Zion Baptist church had large congregations throughout the entire day, beginning with a sunrise service. Special Easter music was rendered by the large well-trained choir and the pastor, the Rev. W. F. Botts, was at his best in his sermons. At the Roman Catholic church of St. Benedict the Moor, mass was sung by Fr. Cassilly at 9 o'clock and excellent music was sung by the choir. There was a good attendance. Grove M. E. Baptist, Mt. Moriah Baptist, Bethel Pleasant Green and all other churches report inspiring services and large congregations. ADA BELL GRIFIN DELIGHTS AUDIENCE Madam Ada Bell Griffin, the celebrated dramatic reader of Worcester, Mass., made her first appearance before an Omaha audience Tuesday night at the Grove M. E. church under the auspices of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. While the audience was much smaller than an artist of this character merited, it was delighted with Madam Griffin's masterly delineation of the twelve characters represented in the touching story, "Within the Law." While all of the characters delineated by this artist were intelligently and realistically presented, she was undoubtedly at her best in Mary Turner, the heroine of the story; Edward Gilder, proprietor of the Emporium; Richard Gilder, his son; George Demerest, Gilder's lawyer and Agnes Lynch, a confidence woman, then contrast between the masculine and feminine voices being distinctly marked. Madam Griffin has a delightful personality, a pleasing stage presence, and a voice of singular range and sweetness, under excellent cultivation which marks her as a dramatic reader of rare ability and culture. She showed herself to be an artist of the first rank in her line. Miss Lucy Allen, one of Omaha's finest young pianists, gave musical numbers between the acts. COMMISSIONER LARSON TO ADDRESS N. A. A. C. P. Commissioner Larson of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce will address the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at the Grove M. E. church, Twenty-second and Seward streets, Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. His subject will be "Good Citizenship." The invocation will be given by the Rev. W. F. Botts; Harmony Quartette will sing, and Father Williams will introduce the speaker. THE MONITOR PROGRESSIVE TAILOR AND CAP MANUFACTURER In addition to the many business establishments owned by some of our race men, is one that should receive special notice. It is that of Mr. Frank Barnes, the tailor. Mr. Barnes is a past master in the art of making men's and boys' caps, and has proven his skill in the manufacture of these caps by turning out some of the most stylish and best made caps in the city of Omaha. The caps sell for a reasonable price and cannot be duplicated any place in Omaha for the same price. Mr. Barnes not only keeps a stock of caps of all styles and colors on hand for sale, but also makes caps to order, thereby assuring the customer of a sure fit and of the exact styles to suit his individuality. In order that his race may be further benefited by his talent and skill, Mr. Barnes is contemplating opening a beginning class in cap making, in the near future. All who are interested in the same should apply to Mr. Barnes at his office, 1322 North 24th Street, Omaha, Nebraska. Howard Williams, fifteen years old an apprentice of Mr. Barnes and who has been in his employ for seven months, has shown very rapid progress and is now a very able assistant to Mr. Barnes. He not only assists in making caps, but is very skilled in the art of pressing clothes ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Streets Russell Taylor. Pastor Easter services were well attended throughout the day. The augmented choir rendered several selections from the cantata, The Nazarene, very acceptably. The solo work by Mrs. J. H. Hutten, Russell Taylor, Jr., and Mrs. McRae is worthy of special mention. The Junior Choir, composed of the Sunday School children, made its debut in the evening and did exceedingly well. Elder W. C. Mason and the pastor attended the meetings of Omaha Presbytery in the Clifton Hill Presbyterian church, the first part of the week and report a profitable session. Services next Sunday will be as follows: 11 a. m.—"I Believe in the Communion of the Saints." 8 p. m.—"The I Will' that Didn't, and the I Will' that Did." ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 5233 So. 25th St. Phone Market 3475. L BURGH HARTPET O. J. BURCKHARDT, Pastor. Easter was indeed a great day at Allen Chapel. We had good appreciative crowds. The morning service was made up of many strangers—all seem to have enjoyed the sermon on the "Resurrection" and went away with a better hope of His coming and the blessedness that awaits His children. We had a splendid Sunday school. We wish more young people would attend our Sunday school—watch the Sunday School Booster club. Our Easter program, gotten up by Mesdames Redd and Carter, was one of the finest in the history of the church, we could hardly seat the large appreciative crowd that came and enjoyed the program. CONFERENCE CHANGES The annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church which was recently held at Topeka, Kansas, has made one change in the Omaha pastorates of the denation. The Rev. J. E. Conwell, of the South Side, has been made presiding elder of the Muskogee, Okla, district. He will be succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Nash of Atlanta, Ga., a recent graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary, and a young man of much promise. The Rev. Mr. Saunders has been returned to Grove M. E. church, much to the delight of his congregation. SNEAK THIEF STEALS PASTOR'S WATCH Some sneak thief entered the church of St. Philip the Deacon some time before 9 o'clock Sunday morning and stole a valuable watch which the congregation had presented to the pastor as a birthday present a little over a year ago. Father Williams had laid his watch during the early service on a small ledge back of the altar, but forgot it when he left the church. Shortly after nine he returned to the church to get it, but the watch was gone. MAMIE SMITH AND HER An immense audience greeted Mamie Smith, the celebrated Jazz Queen, and her famous Jazz Hounds, at the City Auditorium, Saturday night. It was her first appearance before an Omaha audience. Lovers of jazz and blues were delighted with the entertainment. Encores were demanded for several numbers. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor Omaha, Nebraska, Friday, April 21, 1922 OMAHA'S COLORED CITIZENRY AND ITS MANY ACTIVITIES IN THE DAY'S AFFAIRS Interesting Facts and Observations Concerning Professional Men Who Are Playing Their Can be the Most Popular Young Lady!!! (Owing to the heavy demand for advertising space in our last week's issue, this article had to be held over. —Editor.) It is well settled among the learned men of our day that the world is indebted to the darker races for its knowledge in what we now call THE PROFESSIONS. And while it is true that very great progress has been made in some of the professions, since the founding of the Grecian Academy, a great deal had been achieved before. Prior to this date, perhaps, the greatest accomplishment was in the field of engineering. At the same time there were eminent lawyers, physicians and teachers and priests. Africa was the scene of the accomplishments of these men in these professions. It was here that Moses became a great lawyer, physician, statesman and general. It was here Moses learned how to write and codify laws. It was, therefore, not difficult for him to write a system of laws for the government of the children of Israel after he left the seat of learning and of light in Africa. Many centuries have passed since the darker races were foremost among the peoples, and the modern tendency is to forget our debt to the past and dismiss the subject with a nod, on the theory that what is always was and always will be. Some men are unwilling to admit now, what is the proven fact, that when the darker races were holding aloft the torch of light and learning the races that now bear it were quite as "backward" as the propagandists now declare the native of Africa to be. The pendulum has simply swung to the other side of the are. Will it remain there or come to the center on a basis of mutual good will? The past is quite secure. What concerns us most is the present and the future. And what concerns us most in America' is the solution, on a basis of human justice and right, of the RACE PROBLEM. In the early years of the Republic many of the foremost men believed and preached the doctrine that God had made the colored race to be slaves unto the lighter races; that they were without souls and, of course, had no destiny different from members of the lower order of animal life. Such was the prevailing opinion, with few notable exceptions during more than a century of chattel slavery in America. At the end of this period, now and then a voice would be raised against this wrong, until that voice became a chorus and slavery died. During slavery, however, the slaves would secretly assemble in basements, just as the Part in City Life. early Christians assembled in caves in and about Rome, and have their prayer meetings. The leaders of these groups afterward became the preachers and ministers. Here, then, we have the American beginning of the most influential of the professional group, none of whom in slavery had the advantages Moses enjoyed in preparation for leadership of the freedmen. Foremost among the earlier leaders was Frederick Douglas, who became an exhorter, but never entered actively upon a career as a minister. There were several men in the earlier years, even before Douglas, who were successful preachers in New England. Their audiences were white people. Bishop Daniel A. Payne, Henry Highland Garnett and Alexander Crummell were among many of the great religious leaders and teachers of that period. In this early day the race had attained distinction in the actors' profession, for Ira A. Audible, early in the 19th century, was the greatest OTHELLO on the stage, the superior of his great teacher and patron, Salvini. There were a few physicians of this period. This is easy to understand when it is recalled that when Columbus landed in America he found the Indian Medicine Man who was evidently a pupil of the African Medicine Man who had preceded Columbus to America. Now, colored men and women throughout the world are successfully engaged in the professions, and all of them. In the United States there are about 40,000 preachers, 40,000 teachers, 4,000 physicians, 2,500 dentists, 2,000 lawyers, 300 civil engineers, 1,000 actors, 5,800 musicians, 120 electrical engineers, and 2175 miscellaneous Teachers of our group have been markedly successful. Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois are conspicuous examples. Omaha is represented in the proyers, physicians, pharmacists and chemists, and dentists. In a previous article it was pointed out that the ministers, both in numbers and influence, excel the other professions. One of these ministers is an examining chaplain of his diocese, the only colored man in the United States to be so honored by his church, all of whose ministers, in this state, with the exception of this man, are white men. Other ministers of this group have built well. They are making their churches more than houses for religious worship; they are holding meetings in them and teaching things that are helpful for the life that is. From this their white brothers of the pro- fession could learn a useful lesson. Too much "pale rhetoric" is not good for the body or the soul. The position of the colored minister in some respects, is unique in that he is never in competition with white men in the same profession, as are the colored lawyers, physicians and dentists and other professional men of our group. In other words, there are no white men bidding for the job of preaching to colored communicants. Slavery developed the ministers for the colored people, and next to the minister came the physician. But the physician found when he started to practice that he had no patients; he was scoffed at by many white physicians and members of his own group "passed" him up as a dangerous experiment. However, he kept at it, and with the help of the more advanced white physician, he has succeeded in getting a large percentage of practice among the colored people in some communities all of it, and in many communities much white practice. Now, mark you, this colored physician has all the technical skill possessed by his white brother, (for in America state examining boards do not give colored men the preference) and is in keen competition with the white men in the professions. The same thing may be said of dentists. Colored lawyers have an even more difficult problem than the physician and dentist. This story was told by one of the first colored physicians in Omaha. Mr. ....., one of the best known colored men in the city had illness in his family. He called on the colored doctor while he was down town, remained in his office for half an hour talking about current affairs, but ended up by saying: "Well. I will have to say good-bye; I must hurry by the doctor's office and get some medicine to take home to my wife." With education this condition is improving with respect to the physician and dentist here in Omaha. On the whole they are very successful. Several of the physicians of our group have won a competency and one of them is wealthy. All the physicians are graduates of good medical colleges and some of them have pursued post graduate courses in special subjects. And you will find them on the whole, to be as well equipped as the white physicians, in proportion to their numbers. Besides, they are interested in the race they serve, not merely as physicians, but as colored men and leaders, charged with a great responsibility. The colored dentists are without exception, efficient. But we have many colored families in Omaha "who have never had a colored Vol. VII No. 42—Whole Number 353 physician or dentist." White physicians and dentists often ask colored physicians and dentists why these colored families do not go to the professional men of their own group. But conditions are improving and they may become almost ideal as the years go by. In Omaha, in the field of major surgery, the colored man will come into his own, just as he has done in many cities in the country. Lest some ambitious youths may be casting anxious eyes toward Omaha as a "possible location" it is set down here that the field is now overcrowded in the practice of law, medicine and dentistry. The lawyer of our group has the most difficult task of the four professions mentioned here, because he is in constant and direct competition with white men, his cases are presented to white judges and white juries; opposed to him are white lawyers and, as a rule, white clients. In spite of this, however, in many communities of the countries he has risen to distinction. Some of them have been judges, United States Attorneys and Assistant Attorneys-General of the United States, and very shortly, it is expected that one of our group will be appointed a United States District Judge. In several states, notably Ohio, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York and Kansas, colored lawyers have been appointed assistants to the Attorney Generals or assistant county attorneys, and in some states both. The colored lawyers in Omaha, all things considered, are doing well. The two oldest in the practice are now well established and the younger men are gaining ground steadily. And this may be said of them all, they are better equipped in almost every instance than the white attorneys who are generally employed by colored people to transact their legal business. For, in the very nature of things, colored people cannot afford to pay for the services of the foremost men of the bar, and they would, as has been stated by several of the district judges, be much better off with a colored lawyer than many they employ. All of the colored attorneys are members of the bar of the Supreme Court of the State of Nebraska and of the United States District Court, and one of them is a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. The judges and the leading members of the bar are entirely fair to the colored lawyers. And the juries are quite as fair. One of the colored lawyers put it this way: Getting the legal business of colored people will be the result of education. The colored physician and dentist have had the same experience; some of them are having it still. But a colored lawyer, whether sitting in a case or not, if he is in court, is a protection to colored persons whose rights or property is involved in litigation. The colored lawyer, like the other members of the professional classes, and in a more marked degree, has a tremendous responsibility, because he more than any other member of the group, in the public forum, is the spokesman and champion of his race and represents, if not its most important achievement, at least, the advance guard, as it were in its strivings for justice and opportunity under the law. We are pioneers; we make the fight and the sacrifice, those who succeed us will reap the rewards. Our compensation must be the SATISFACTION OF THE PIONEER." Taken altogether, considering the starting point and the progress made through sheer ability and pluck, it may will be asked if the members of the other group have reason to claim they have accomplished more than members of this group. The need of the race now is for thirty thousand college trained ministers; twenty thousand college trained physicians and dentists, and fifteen thousand college trained lawyers. There are not too many, but too few, so trained. In this respect Omaha is quite as well off as any city in the country. It is a far cry from the statement of Calhoun, that, if you will show me a Negro who can conjugate a Greek verb, I will show you a Negro who has a soul," to the place attained by our group in professional callings in this day. Omaha has made a good start, the kind of finish she makes is in the keeping of the group itself. BAPTIST STAE MISSIONARY IS. KEPT VERY BUSY Rev. M. H.

MAJORITY IS HALF MILLION President-Elect Has Been Prominent in Political Affairs of South American Republic for Several Years. (Associated Negro Press.) Rio de Janerio, Brazil, S. A., April 21—Colored Americans of the United States may well be greatly gratified that a descendant of their race has been elected president of Brazil. Elected by more than a half million majority, given conclusive and convincing evidence of what South America thinks of manhood, regardless of "color line." The complete returns from the national election held throughout the republic, confirms the first reports sent out within a few hours after the polls declaring the election of Pecamba, president. The reports were credited but the size of his majority was not conceded by the opposition at that time; the authentic returns completely rout all doubt. Nilo Pecamba, Premier of Brazil, was elected president of Brazil by a 590,000 majority. His opponent, Louis Sancho, the conservative nominee, was governor of the state of Mines Geras. Pecamba carried the city of Rio de Janiero, the conservative stronghold, by a 60,000 plurality; Bahal, a city of 700,000 by a 10,000 majority. His greatest plurality was reached in the state of Rio Grand Du Sud, known as German Brazil. He carried this city by a 170,000 plurality. The first returns showed Pecamba a winner. The Post Aglere Sential flashed his election two and a half hours after the polls closed. Out of a total registered vote of 600,000 the Socialists polled 13g,000; the Socialist Democrats 84,000. The election was a complete victory for the Federalist party. It is said to be the most remarkable election since 1889 when Francesca was elected first president of Brazil, after Don Pedro II, the last emperor, had abdicated, and a republic proclaimed. Nilo Pecamba was born at Petropolis, Brazil, April 7, 1868. His mother was a Brazilian Negro and his father an Italian. He entered public life in 1898 when he was elected Mayor of Nithony. He was elected to the Brazilian parliament in 1900 and in 1902 he was elected Governor of the State of Rio de Janiero. In 1904 he was elected to the Brazilian senate. In 1906 he was elected president on the Federalist ticket by a majority of 200,000. He became premier on February 23, 1917, and will be inaugurated on May 1, 1922. CORRICK CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR PUBLIC ACCOUNTS Frank P. Corrick, of Lincoln, the efficient chief clerk of the House of Representatives, has announced his candidacy for State Auditor of Public Accounts. Mr. Corrick is a native of Iowa and has been a resident of Nebraska for several years. He has been active and prominent in the Republican party, as organizer and adviser, but has never sought elective office. Mr. Corrick is well qualified from every point of view for the position which he seeks and as his attitude toward our people has been fair there is no reason why he should not receive our support. FORMER OMAHAN DIES Neal Payton, who up to four years ago was a resident of Omaha, but who at that time removed to Pueblo, Colo., where his wife had charge of the Emergency hospital, died there last Sunday. The Rev. G. G. Logan, who baptized him in Grove M. E. church some years ago, left for Pueblo Wednesday afternoon to officiate at the funeral which was held Thursday afternoon. Dr. Logan will immediately return to Omaha to take charge of the services Sunday at the M. E. church on the South Side. DEATH OF SAMUEL RAY Samuel Ray, aged 50, one of Omaha's most respected citizens, died at his late residence, 2865 Miami St. Sunday afternoon after a protracted illness. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from St. John's A. M. E. church, the Rev. W C Williams officiating. Interment was in Forest Lawn cemetery. Mr. Ray is survived by his widow, Mrs. Maud Ray. a daughter, Mrs. Russell Reese, and several other close relatives.

THE ASSOCIATED MEDIA PRIZE MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE CLEAN LIVING TOO much stress cannot be laid upon TOO much stress cannot be laid upon the matter of clean living. We are beginning to learn how important it is to live in sanitary and clean surroundings. This is great advance. We need, however, to lay emphasis upon the necessity of men and women and of boys and girls keeping their bodies pure and clean. The sin of moral impurity and lax exual relations is a serious menace of the day. Parents should wisely teach their children of the law of life and so protect them against pitfalls which they may avoid. Let us have clean living, not only as to our habitations and homes, but also as to our habits and morals. Clean living prolongs life and promotes happiness. THE WISER COURSE COLORED AMERICANS are not satisfied with their status. They would be wholly unworthy of American citizenship if they were. There are certain disabilities under which we suffer, in every portion of this land, although in some sections the burden of these disabilities is more grievous than in others. We have in mind civil disabilities affecting our rights as citizens. As examples of these grievances may be cited disfranchisement, Jimcrow cars, exclusion from public parks, which are, of course, confined to the Southland, and total or partial denial of civil rights in public places, such as hotels, restaurants, and the theaters, which is all too common in the North. All such civil disabilities are in direct violation both of the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, and therefore Colored Americans who are at all worthy of the name of citizens will never be satisfied until all the rights guaranteed them under the Constitution are by them enjoyed. Political and philanthropical optimists may cray "Peace"; but there will be no peace, either in the hearts of our group, or in the United States until these rights are freely and cheerfully granted. Because our people have chosen the better way, of quiet, organized, persistent protest and appeal to the better conscience of America, rather than that of revolution, should mislead no one as to the depth of our feeling of dissatisfaction over rights denied or as to the final outcome. The issue is certain. Either the people of the United States will ultimately grant full civil rights to all groups of American citizens or "Ichabod" will be written above Columbia's prostrate form. Our people have always assumed the right attitude. They have favored obedience to the government, wisely recognizing the fact that there can be no lasting progress where disorder and disruption prevail. They have been loyal and true and striven to do their full duty. This is spite of tremendous temptation to do otherwise. This is the attitude we must still maintain; but never ceasing to grow in worthiness of character, nor ceasing to protest against the denial of civil rights to which our worthiness of character as self-respecting, industrious, law-abiding American citizens entitle us. We cannot be, we must not be satisfied with anything less than the enjoyment of our full constitutional rights. We shall gain these not by revolution but by the wiser course which we have always pursued of a direct appeal to the minds, the conscience and the sense of justice which lies latent in the hearts of the American people.

THERE has been much indignation among some subscribers, most of whom were delinquent, and from a few who were not to whom statements were sent by mistake, because they received notices from a collection agency that they were indebted to The Monitor Publishing Company for subscriptions. Many jumped to the conclusion that the Editor had placed these accounts in "the hands of a lawyer for collection." Neither the Editor nor the Business Manager did this, although the Monitor might have been better off if it had done so some months ago. The receiver for The Monitor, as ordered and authorized by the court, is trying to collect in ALL outstanding obligations to The Monitor Publishing Company. Our books and are in his possession. He is obeying court instruction TO COLLECT, and he is the man who is doing this. His name is Earl A. Edwards. He is a fine fellow, trying to do his duty, and CONFIDENT that debtors to The Monitor will be so prompt and honest in paying what they owe that The Monitor will come through all right. In some few cases notices have been sent by mistake to persons whose subscriptions have not yet expired. This is regretted. Where this has been correct, correction will be gladly made. It is rather strange that the people who do not owe, but received these notices, by mistake DID NOT GET ANGRY: but the folks who DO OWE and ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY OWE, are the ones who have called up the Editor and raised or tried to raise injured protest. Now, if these good people will use the same energy in paying their indebtedness, and that is all that is being asked, that they have displayed in "calling down" the Editor, for putting their "account into the hands of a lawyer" all our hopes will be more than realized. Now to sum up, that our explanation may be fully understood: The court has authorized Earl A. Edwards receiver for The Monitor Publishing Company to collect in ALL ACCOUNTS DUE from SUBSCRIPTIONS or ADVERTISING. In accordance with this he has sent notice to ALL DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS, and by mistake to a few who are not delinquent. If you OWE, you MUST PAY, no if's, an's or but's about it. If you do not owe, then, of course, you do not have to pay. He is to use his discretion in making these collections, and follow whatever method or methods he finds most effective. Is this plain? He is anxious to pull The Monitor through this crisis and put it on a paying basis, believes it can be done and is confident that debtors and friends of The Monitor will co-operate in doing this? Are you going to help or hinder? The present editor is to continue, without any restraint or limitations of the editorial policy and general literary character of the publication. With fullest and hearty co-operation upon the part of all parties concerned The Monitor will be able to continue its good work which it has striven faithfully to do for the community and race during its seven years' service.

The Negroes last summer held a grand demonstration in New York and gave symptoms of standing up for their rights. The Negro has been the most wronged figure in history. Compared to him, the Irishman has been, you might say, coddled. For some reason he has always carried the white man's burden. For the white man is superior. He himself admits it. White men have even circulated the story of Ham, son of Noah, that he made fun of his father who had got drunk and kicked off the covers. That may not have been nice of Ham, but it was hardly serious enough to warrant cursing his posterity for thousands of years. Even in white folks' fiction the Negro gets the worst of it. Every time Robinson Crusoe meets Friday in the wilderness it is the black man who carries the wood and the white man who carries the gun. The Negroes once lived in Africa, a large continent containing a fifth or sixth of the earth's area. There, according to the 14 points, they ought to have had some say as to how they were to be governed. They never came over to bother the whites; the whites came over to bother them. They came as explorers, profiteers, slave dealers, rum peddlers, government officials an missionaries. In their native land the Negroes lived at peace in the bosom of their families, under their palm trees, and played around in a costume which was much more rational for hot weather than any kind of clothes permitted in New Jersey. They had their medicine men who chanted their own jingo, even as ours talk Latin, and gave powdered elephant ears and grasshoppers' knees for bowel complaint, even as ours give their more expensive dope, and with about the same success. At least they all died after a while anyhow, even as our forefathers. They had their little dahces by torchlight under the trees, as we have our midnight follies atop the theatre. They beat their tom-toms and wrigled their tum-tums, as also our jazz orchestras perform and our young folks shimmy and fox-trot. They had their sorcerers and others whom they paid to humbug them, even as we have our own blatherskites. They made war when they were hungry and needed food, fun and women. We make war for no reason at all, and do not even eat our foes. It is a wonder Ham has stood for his abuse as long as he has. He now protests against lynching, that is against being hung by amateurs and not professionals. I am for Africa for the Africans, Ireland for the Irish, and New York for the Jews. The Negroes are a happy, contented and lovable people, and have as much right to their place in the sun, and also in the shade, as white folks. THE QUITTER Fate handed the quitter a bump and he dropped— The road seemed too rough to go so he stopped; He thought of his hurt and there came to his mind, The easier path he was leaving behind; Oh, it's all much too hard, said the quitter right then, I'll stop where I am and not try it again. When the bump comes and fate hands you a jar, Don't baby yourself, boy, whoever you are; Don't pity yourself and talk over your woes, Don't think up excuses for dodging the blows, But stick to the battle and see the thing through. —The Buffalo American.

NEW USE FOR PIGEONS Forest Fire Fighters Find Them Efficient Assistants. As Means of Quick Communication Between Ranger on Fire Line and Headquarters Carrier Pigeon Has No Equal. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) The carrier pigeon has found a place for itself in the fire-fighting forces of the forest service. It demonstrated its worth this year in the Idaho national forest, and will be installed next year at all protective camps in that district. As a means of quick and certain communication between the ranger out on the fire line and headquarters, the carrier pigeon has no competition, reports from Idaho to the Department of Agriculture state. One bird, after a preliminary course of training, was taken a rough trip by pack horse, kept overnight at its destination, and released the next day. This carrier was back at its coop at headquarters, 80 minutes after it was released, having covered 18 miles, air line, and flown over a high mountain. Its mate equaled the performance. Another, released at dusk from the bottom of a canyon, rose abruptly, crossed two high ranges and was at its coop before dark. A third, carried in a back pack into high peaks of the Buckhorn country, flew home within an hour, covering in that time a good day's journey for a man on horseback. In the face of fire, this performance was equaled. The ranger took two birds to the spot where smoke had been located. The first bird carried instructions to send help. Not long thereafter the fire-fighters at the front had brought the blaze under control. The second bird was released, countering the first order. It reached headquarters just as the summoned assistance was about to start for the fire, and the message it carried not only gave welcome assurance of victory over the red peril, but saved a number of men from making a long and tedious trip through the forest. IS MASTER AT ARMS INTERNATIONAL Mrs. M. E. I. Barron was recently appointed master at arms of the S. S. America. She can probably lay claim to the distinction of being the first woman aboard ship to hold such a position.

GLAD HAND FROM "JOHN L" How Defeated but Still Great Puglist Made Firm Friend of Young Newspaper Man. Theodore Dreiser, writing in the Bookman, recounts his youthful experi- ences as a reporter in St. Louis. One of his assignments was an interview with John L. Sullivan: "Aw, haw! haw! haw! haw!" I can hear him even now when I asked him my favorite question about life, his plans, the value of exercise (1), etc. "He wants to know to exercise! Yuh're all right, young fella, kinda sim, but yuh'll do. Sit down and have some champagne. Have a cigar. Give 'im some cigars, George. These young newspaper men are all all right, to me I'm for 'em. Exercise? What I think? Haw! Haw! Wake any d—d thing you please, young fella, and say that John L. Sullivan said so. That's good enough for me. If they don't believe it bring it back here and I'll sign it for you. But I know it'll be all right, and I won't stop to read it neither. That suit uh? Well, all right. Now have some more champagne and don't say I didn't treat uh right, 'cause I did. I'm-exchamplon of the world, defeated by that little dude from California, but I'm still John L. Sullivan—aln't that right? Haw! haw! They can't take that away from me, can they? Haw! haw! Have some more champagne, boy.' "I adored him. I would have written anything he asked to write.

We are shortly promised stockings that will button up, and this recalls the old query: "Why is it that a woman always buttons her clothes up in the reverse fashion from a man?" If it were a fact that all women were left handed, and consequently found it easier to do things in this way, it would be understandable. But they are not. A Mere Male thing offers me this explanation: "Probably, it is because all women are initiative. They intend in future to oust men from the earth enirely. Wherefore they stand in front of the glass, and endeavor to create in it a reflection as much like a man as possible. But looking glasses always show things reversed, and woman, not being able to realize this, always does things backward." So that's that!-London Opinion. Meat Flour The qualities of meat flour, a new food that is being made in New Zealand, were described to a meeting of farmers and others held in a New Zealand town. The speaker said that recently at a dinner 18 persons sat down to a meal composed entirely of meat flour dishes, and only a little over half a pound of meat flour was used in its preparation. It was excellent for invalids and bore a high food value. It could be exported easily and compactly, and would keep, so far as present tests went, for two years without the slightest sign of deterioration. It took three pounds of meat to produce one pound of the flour, which was at present being readily sold at five shillings ($1.25) a pound and was found exceedingly economical in the household at this price.

One of the quaintest of these—that the sun dances in the heavens every Easter morning—is found in England, Ireland, and Brittany. Suckling alludes to this belief in the often quoted lines: No sun upon an Eastern morn Was half so fair a sight. The origin of the Easter egg is told in the following legends: A bird sang a sorrowful lay over Christ's tomb and as a reward for its devotion its eggs were ever after of bright colors. Another story is of an exile who in prison received a decorated Easter egg which said: "Hope in God." He recognized the handwriting of his wife, and, managing to communicate with her, regained his freedom. Thirty days hath September Every person can remember. But the dates when Easter comes. Puzzle even scholars some! Egg rolling on Easter day used to be practiced with the idea that the farm lands over which the eggs were rolled would be sure to yield abundantly at harvest time. At Easter bat your clothes be new. Or else be sure, you will it rue. - Poor Richard's Almanac. It is bad luck to paint a cross on Easter eggs, and good luck to paint flowers on them. If the sun shines on Easter, it will shine on Whit Sunday. It is a good omen to have your babe baptized on Easter day. To cry on Easter is a sign that you will have a sad Fourth of July. Unlucky Engagement Day. If you see a star fall on Easter night, you will lose your lover. If you get engaged on Easter Sunday, you will not be married. It is lucky to receive the unexpected gift of an Easter egg. It is a lucky thing for you if a friend happens to bring an infant for the first time into your house on Easter morning. To put a garment wrong side out on Easter morning is a bad omen. In some countries, the children believe that the rabbits lay beautifully colored eggs at Easter. This connection between the hare and Easter originates in the hare's connection with the moon, of which the hare has been from ancient times a symbol, together with the fact that Easter is to a certain extent a lunar holiday. A few of the reasons of the hare being identified with the moon are: The hare is a nocturnal animal and comes out at night to feed. The female carries her young for a month. Hare and moon were believed to have the power of changing their sex; the new moon was masculine, the waning moon was feminine. The young of the hare are born with their eyes open, white rabbits are born blind; hence the belief that the hare never closed its eyes, and therefore was considered to resemble the moon, who is called the "open-eyed watcher of the skies at night." Popular French Belief. An Easter superstition of French origin says that the young girl who wishes to live long, marry the man of her choice, and prosper, must never wear any other flower than the jonquil or violet on that day. These only bring good luck. The maiden who wishes to know if her lover is faithful should rise early on Easter morning and eat an apple. Meantime she will say: As Eve in her thrift for knowledge ate, So I, too, wish to know my fate. If the seeds are even, he will prove faithful; if there is an odd number, alas! The usage of interchanging eggs at Easter has also been referred for its origin to the egg games of the Romans, which they celebrated at the time of our Easter, when they ran races in an egg-shaped rings, and the victor received eggs as a prize. These games were instituted in honor of Castor and Pollux, who came forth from an egg deposited by Leda, after Jupiter had visited he in the shape of a swan. GATHER FOR JUDGMENT DAY Moravians Visit Burial Ground Easter Sunday to Welcome the Dead, Should They Areise. The Moravian churches of this country have their Passion week, with somewhat peculiar rites. They settled in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. At Bettleheim and other places in Pennsylvania they are the predominating religious sect. At Salem, N. C., they established a very interesting and unique colony in 1753. There they have a strong church and one of the finest colleges in the country. Religious service is a daily occurrence in the church during Passion week. The sacrament is administered and many of the younger set are confirmed. On Saturday, the closing day, they have the love feast and break bread together as one happy family. The juvenile pleasures are not overlooked. Late in the afternoon of Saturday the children are to be seen busily engaged about the hedges and fences constructing rabbit nests in which they expect rabbits to lay eggs during the night, and they are never disappointed; they always find the nests bountifully supplied with various colored eggs on Easter morning. The church congregation is up before the dawn of Easter day. They assemble at the church and proceed to the burying ground to welcome the dead should they rise. They are led by a brass band and church choir. The concourse passes up the broad graveled walk, which runs between rows of ancient cedars, to the center of the cemetery, which is odd, qualit and beautiful. There they pause and sing hymns, in which all the people join. The singing stops as the sunlight comes over the rugged eastern hills. All is silent and solemn while the clergyman reads out the names of those who have been placed to rest in the burying ground since the previous Easter. Easter and the Passover Although the date of Easter had been settled with the particular intention of preventing it from ever occurring on the same day as the Jewish Passover, the Nicean decree failed to prevent this entirely. Since 1800 Easter and the Passover have been observed together on April 12 in 1805, 1825 and 1903. Also they will occur together on April 1, 1923; April 17, 1927, and April 9, 1981. However, the Passover usually falls on the week before Easter. It never comes before March 26 nor later than April 25. Dane's Last Jest By ELLA SAUNDERS Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. "There's a patient in the third bed in the ward wants looking after," said the house surgeon to Nurse Ellice. "Acute alcoholism and exposure. Picked up by the ambulance an hour ago. He'll want looking after." They looked at each other and smiled, for they were the best friends that it is possible for two people to be who know that they can never be anything more than friends. It had been almost a case of love at first sight when they met at the hospital six months before. And when silence became impossible Nurse Ellice had spoken the words that had robbed Wesley of his hopes forever. He had learned of her unhappy marriage five years before to a drunkard and rogue who had ill-treated her and finally left her, of her taking up nursing, her admission to the hospital, where she was generally loved by nurses and patients alike. She had thrown her whole life into her work and was recognized as the most devoted and competent of the staff. "Til go and see him," Nurse Ellice answered. Five minutes later she was staring into the face of the man on the bed with a terror that constricted her heart and left her numb, cold and speechless. And, as if conscious of her presence, the man opened his eyes and looked back at her. At first he looked without recognition; then a malicious smile began to spread over his features. "So it's you, Ellice, is it!" he mumbled. "Who'd have thought of meeting you here?" "You must be quiet and not talk," said Nurse Ellice in her quiet tones. He obeyed, grumbling. And the next day he was too ill to talk at all, but she was conscious that his eyes followed her every movement. And at the thought of the past, and the awful sense of being entrapped by it again she moved as if in a dream, not daring to think, lest the old terror should drive her mad. He was not changed. When he grew better he delighted in tormenting her. "We'll fix up a little home, Ellice," he would say. "You've become a stunning woman, and I'd do a good deal for you. I'm going to give up the drink. I've learned my lesson. I've got a little deal on that'll soon bring in the shekels. I'm not down and out. And, if I was, you'd see me through, wouldn't you, Ellice?" "Yes, I'd see you through," she answered mechanically. He watched her wolfishly when Wesley was at the bedside. He knew in a moment, and he taunted her when he was gone. "So that's how the land lies, is it?" he jeered. "Making up to the doc, eh? Well, there's nothing doing to that. D'you understand? You're my wife, and when I get out of here you're going to be mine, or I'll soon put the lid on that doc friend of yours." Wesley faced Ellice in the passage. "Ellice, who is that man?" he asked in a fierce whisper. "My husband" she answered. My husband, my niece. He said nothing more. After all, what could be said? It was fate that had brought him there, the same fate that now suddenly produced a relapse, so that for days Dane hovered between life and death, only again to improve slowly, until he was sitting up once more and watching Wesley and Ellice with his bitter smile. "I don't understand it," said Wesley, frankly puzzled. "By all the rules he ought to have been dead or well days ago. Ellice"—the cry in his voice was almost of despair—"tell me, do you wish him to get well?" "Yes, I do," she answered bravely. "Then—" "I shall leave the hospital. I cannot see you again." "But you will not—you will not—" "Oh, no, no, never!" she answered, with a strangled sob; and fled from him. Dane was sitting up in bed every day now. He was to be discharged soon. He called Nurse Ellice to him. "I guess you're pretty fond of that doctor chap, eh?" he asked, looking curiously at her. "Well?" she asked listlessly. "I've been a rotten sort of husband to you, I guess. Did you mean what you said about taking care of me?" "I'll do everything in the world for you," she answered, "except—except—" He grinned at her in his malicious way, "See you tomorrow, then," he jeered. "I'm kind of sleepy now. We'll talk things over, then." "Nurse Ellice, you are wanted—your patient—" Wesley and the senior surgeon were standing by the bed inside the screen. One glance at Dane's face told Ellice the truth. She pulled herself together with a mighty effort of will. "When—was it?' she faltered. "Half an hour ago. The man fooled us. We could never have saved him, but if we had known what he was suffering from . . . he must have endured unbearable torture. Poor fellow, he's better off so!" Nurse Ellice looked helplessly into the senior surgeon's face. Then Wesley caught her as she dropped unconscious. No Reciprocation. Dub—What I often wonder is what does the company think of misery? ```markdown ``` Miracle-Rebirth" by J.K.W. When Winter's icy breath Muttered the cold word Death. Far seemed the dream of Spring A half forgotten thing. But, lo! as in an hour, The sky opes likes a flower, Rosy and blue with dawn, Its chilly mists withdrawn; And where bare boughs were seen Hower soft clouds of green. Spurring the withered leaves, The flowers start in sheaves, And oer old Winter's tomb Break into wondrous bloom While birds with joyous cries Wing to the shining skies This miracle, re-birth. Thrills once again the earth, By resurrection stirred Roused by the holy word: I will enise! The Holy Week in the Eternal City ```markdown ``` There is always a large crowd at St. Peter's on Palm Sunday and as early as eight o'clock the people begin to assemble. The ceremonial itself lasts about three hours and in order to see it many visitors stand for five or six hours. Ladies alone are favored with seats, and only then if they are in dark dresses and with black vells over their heads, instead of hats and bonnets. One of the papal regiments is always on duty within the sacred precincts to be replaced by the "noble guard" of the pope when the latter enters the church. During the service the chief sacristan brings forth an armful of so-called palms and places them on the high altar. These are stalks about three feet long resembling a walking cane dressed up with wipers of yellow straw. In reality they are sticks to which artificial palm leaves had been glued. His holiness the pope, who dresses plainly for the occasion on account of the fact that the church is still in mourning during the Lenten season, enters the church in his chair of state. He advances up the nave; he gives his blessing to the assembled multitudes until he finally reaches the throne at the further end of the church. After some music the pope proceeds to bless the palms which are brought to him from the altar. The blessing is effected by reading certain prayers and the incensing of the palms three times. An embroidered apron is now placed upon the pope's knee and the cardinals advance to his holiness, receive a palm from him, kissing his right hand, his knee and the palm. The mitted abbotts, who are next to receive the palms, kiss the pope's foot instead of his knee. There is some more music and then low mass is said, after which the pope is carried back with the same gravity to the small chapel whence he came, which connects by a passage with the Vatican. The great event in Rome on Wednesday in holy week is the singing of the Miserere in the Sistine chapel. The service which is also called Tenebrae from the darkness in which it is held begins at half-past four. The whole office is a finely finished musical composition which is performed by the organ and sung by voices of what is probably the finest choir in the world. During the singing of the service all the candles on the altar are extinguished one by one, with the exception of the topmost candle which is concealed behind the high altar, a symbol of deaths of all the prophets before the coming of the Savior and of the resurrection of the Christ. On Thursday, the ceremony of blessing the oils takes place in St Peter's during mass. There are three varieties of oils to be blessed and the ritual surrounding beatification is somewhat complex. The first is the oil of the catechumens used in blessings, baptism, in consecrating churches or ordaining priests and in blessing and crowning sovereigns. The second is the oil used in extreme unction administered to those who are dying, while the third or sacred chrism composed of oil of the balm of Gilead is used in confirmation, in the consecration of bishops and in the blessing of bells. The bishops are attended by at least twelve priests with seven deacons and seven subdeacons all robed in white, and the ceremony is most impressive to the members of the Catholic church. All the bells in Rome are mute from half past eleven on Thursday morning until Saturday evening and such is the force of custom that in many of the hotels handbells are employed to announce the hour for dinner and even The Monitor THE MONTTOR This Blessing the Palms. The Sacred Oils. school bells are mute. On Thursday also the pope attends at St. Peter's for the ceremonial washing of 13 bishops. The pope is dressed very plainly in white with a small white bretta and a red cape. He divests himself of his cap before the ceremonial and at the close presents each of the bishops with a towel and a few flowers, a gold medal being afterwards sent to them by an official of the Vatican. Ceremonial of the Supper. After this there is the ceremonial celebration of the Supper, in which the 13 bishops hand plates to the pope, who pours out wine and water for them to drink. On this day the altars are all stripped and there is set up in the navel of St. Peter's the grand penitentary where a cardinal sits to give absolution for mortal sins, which are beyond the sphere of ordinary confession. In the streets on the evening of Thursday the shops of sausage-makers, candiemakers, and pork dealers are decorated and illuminated in a most fantastic way. The most prominent object in each is a statue of the Virgin and Child enshrined amidst candles and flowers. On Good Friday the air of gloom is accentuated in the churches. The pope is robed in red but he neither wears his ring nor gives his blessing. The soldiers' arms are reversed and all decorations possible are stripped from the altars. Yet notwithstanding the peculiar solemnity of the religious services of the day the shops, public offices and places of business, also the palazzoz, where pictures are shown, remain open as usual—the only indication of the religious character of the day outside of the churches being the muteness of the church bells. This disregard of Good Friday in Rome particularly strikes the Protestant visitors who come from countries where the day is observed reverently and quietly. Reloicings Are Loud. On Saturday evening on the reading of a particular passage in the Stlstine chapel the bells of St. Peter's are ring the guns of St. Angelo are fired and all the bells of the city immediately break forth. At St. Peter's there is the blessing of the paschal fire and the paschal candle is lighted. As might be expected Easter Sunday is celebrated in Rome with elaborate ceremonials, the pope himself officiating at high mass at St. Peter's with the most gorgeous ritual. The magnificent basilics is decorated and myriads of lights blaze from the altars and round the tomb of St. Peter. Seated in his official chair and robed in vestments which scintillate with gold and precious stones and wearing on his head a magnificent tiara the pope enters the crowded church. Beside him are borne two large fans of ostrich feathers and over him is a richly embroidered canopy. After officiating, the pope leaves the church to appear a few moments later surrounded by high officials of the church in the central balcony from where he extends his blessing. In the evening the dome and the entire church are a blaze of candles and artificial lights. "Alive Unto God." Not the future state of the soul, but its present condition is the vital thing. Men are bidden not to be anxious about the morrow—and that may include the eternal morrow—since "the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." And all will be well with man, as with the "fowls of the air" and "the lilies of the field." If he, as they do, performs the functions ordained for him, and is loyal to the true law of his being. Human souls are to "be dead indeed unto sin" in order that they may be "alive unto God." If they are thus alive their immortality is assured. "There needs no ghost come from the grave to tell us this."—Exchange Promise of the Spring Today people are not so much concerned with the date or duration of the Easter feast—unless it be the makers and sellers of fashions, who would like to see it come as early as possible, the better to dispose of their wares. Today men and women accept the feast of gladness thankfully whenever it comes, not bothering about ancient ecclesiastical disputes, but thinking of the joy of the resurrection and the promise of the spring to come.
