IS IN THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR'S CHAIR LIFTING Baltic Historical Society RACE PRESS IS VERY POTENT AGENCY IN DEVELOPING GROUP Important Part Plaed by the Weekly Newspaper in Improving Clivie Condition of Race in Every Community CITY OWES EDITORS MUCH Allies of Organizations Working for Betterment of City—Ninth Article on Omaha's Colored Citizenry. The effort on the part of honest historians to define the true status of the American Negro has resulted in confusion. First he was a slave; then, theoretically, a freeman, with the right to vote and be voted for, and enjoying all the rights and privileges vouch-safed a freeman of lighter hue. Actually he is not free; he does not have the right to vote; his civil status is beneath that of the humbleest and basest white man in America, north and south. And this, in spite of the marvelous progress the Negro has made. He does not enjoy life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness; he has not protection of life and property; after fifty years of so-called freedom in America his civic status is less hopeful and promising than it has been for one hundred years. In spite of these hard conditions he has made progress. For many years in slavery and since the only teacher the Negro had was the clergyman. From him he learned his all. The clergyman's power over his flock was absolute. And it remained so until colored men and women entered the professions of teaching, medicine, law, etc. Then came the Negro Weekly Newspaper. First in importance was The North Star, owned and published by Frederick Douglas, and then the New York Age, The Indianapolis Freeman, The Pioneer Press, The Richmond Planet, The Dallas Express, and The Chicago Defender, and many others throughout the country. The number is now way up in the hundreds, with many magazines of merit in addition, foremost of which is The Crisis, the official organ of the N. A. A. C. P. In the years that have gone many organizations have been formed to improve the civic status of the colored people. The best known of them all in this day is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Others well known are the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., and certain rescue homes, social settlements and centers which are working to achieve civic betterment. Of all the agencies, the Colored Press is the most potent. More is due to the Negro Press for the progress the race has made than to any other single agency we have developed in our civic progress. And the men and women who have borne this burden have made greater sacrifices to do it than any class of workers in the race. These veterans of all the battles" of the race, in most cases, have had no reward, and many times they have suffered the privations *of physical hunger that the clarion note might be sounded for the Negro when all other voices were stilled. These men and women have taught the Negro to buy homes and land; to enter business; to educate his children; to be sober, industrious and on the side of law and order always; to do justice and to demand justice in all relations of life. In Omaha the record has been a good one in the fight of the race for better things. The Omaha Progress and the Omaha Enterprise served the race well for many years. Then came The Omaha Monitor which has borne the brunt of battle for many years that the colored people might in truth be free. Had its editor, with his intellectual attainments, been born in France, he would have been knighted for service to his country. Here his paper lies wounded, as it were, and those for whom it went upon the altar watch to see it die. It fights on, and no matter what happens its place is secure, it has served the group that stands in direst need of service. The New Era, the youngest of the Omaha weeklies, is rendering excellent service in every constructive way for the betterment of our group. The editor of this paper has, the writer believes, the quality of humor that will be required to laugh the silly American prejudice out of the country. The paper, also, appreciates the necessity of building along constructive lines as THE MONITOR well as fighting for rights and opportunities. Quite recently the editor has been joined by a capable and versatile young business man and the literary and financial success of the New Era is now assured. This paper is destined to become in this territory a tremendously greater influence than it now is. Both the local papers, like the weekly papers the country over, aid every good cause and oppose harmful encroachments. The Omaha Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a fine civic influence. It serves the persons and causes that all else fails to serve. Its officers are constantly on the watch towers, and they cooperate with every agency in the community for progress. Just now this society is leading the fight to induce congress to pass a law against lynching and burning human beings. In Basutoland, Africa, the natives are wondering what kind of savages we have in America and what lack of government which requires the enactment of laws to prevent burning of human beings. Lynching is the greatest evil in America today. For the most part, the white and the black pulpit are silent on it; but the Colored Press and the National Association "carry on." And if they had rendered but this single service, they would rightfully receive the homage of all good Americans for the greatest civic and social service it is possible to render in this land. The result of this all is to improve the status of the colored people, and, therefore, the status of all the people. It is useless to think of this problem in any other way. Some men who are very wise on all other questions, are very unwise on this one. They think that the race problem is solved when all the colored people are placed in a single section of the city, where the (Continued on Page Four) COLOR THEIR FACES, ATTACK A WOMAN AND ARE KILLED Farmers' Wives, Dressed in Overalls and Masquerading as Colored Men, Said to Have Murdered Neighbor TENNESSEE SCENE OF CRIME Gruesome Story Comes From Remote and Isolated District Showing How Bowling Green, Ky., June 12—Reports of the killing of three white women, two of them with blackened faces and dressed as men, reached here from a point in Clay county, Tenn., last week. First reports were very meagre and names were not given. The place where the killings occurred is a wild isolated section forty miles from here and thirty miles from the nearest railroad. Only a few farmers inhabit many square miles of this section. A few days ago one of the farmers sold his property for $1,800 cash. A big fox hunt was put on two days following by neighbors, who urged him to go. The scared informant did not give names of the parties concerned. He declares that wives of two of the men, dressed as men, and with blackened faces, went after the money. They viciously attacked the farmer's wife, beating and choking her unmercifully, trying to force the woman to give up the money. She refused, then the two women bandits cut her throat. A man living with the family was asleep up in the loft of the barn. Awakened by the commotion, he rushed to the scene gun in hand and shot the two women robbers dead, in belief they were colored men. The boarder then fled. He told a distant farmer and hastened on; this farmer brought first news of the affair to Bowling Green. Authorities here at once communicated with clay county (Tennessee) officials to investigate. One of the party rode horseback to the nearest station and wired for the coroner. His brief message confirms first reports. The dead bodies of the three women were found by the returned fox hunters. TO RUN FOR CONGRESS Bluefield, W. Va., June 23.—J. E. Meadows, newspaper editor, announced himself as a candidate for congress on the Independent ticket in the Fifth District.

RANKING JUDGE IN DISTRICT RANKING JUDGE IN DISTRICT Washington, D. C., June 23—Robert H. Terrell was reappointed Judge of the Municipal Court for a term of six years by President Harding, Tuesday. Judge Terrell has served on the bench continuously since his first appointment during the administration of President Roosevelt. Since then, he has been appointed once by President Taft, twice by President Wilson, and now comes the news of his re-appointment by President Harding. Harvard Graduate. A graduate from Harvard University in 1884, Judge Terrell was one of the commencement speakers, and won notoriety through his forceful, clear, logical way of expressing himself. Following his graduation he taught for a number of years in Washington, D. C. He held his first government position under President Harrison, being appointed to the Treasury Department as Chief of Navy Pay Division. He then took up the study of law at Harvard and upon the completion of his course, formed a partnership with J. R. Lynch, former congressman from Mississippi. This firm, known as Lynch and Terrell, operated successfully for many years, until his appointment by President Roosevelt. Since then, he has served on the bench, and has rendered many notable decisions. He is the oldest Municipal Court Judge in the District in point of service and is unanimously endorsed by the Columbia Bar. CAN'T WRITE IN ALABAMA Birmingham, Ala., June 23—When A. B.

The things near by, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are; These are the things that make or break, That give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but good we do; These are the things that shine like gems, Like stars in Fortune's diadems. Not as we take, but as we give; Not as we pray, but as we live; These are the things that make for peace, Both now and after Time shall cease —Clarence Urmy. COLORED STUDENTS RECEIVE DIPLOMAS AT COAST COLLEGE Largest Number in the History of the University of Southern California Are Given Degrees. ALL ARE AWARDED DEGREES Los Angeles, Calif., June 23.—The largest number of colored students ever graduated from the University of Southern California received their diplomas at the 1922 commencement of this institution last Thursday at Exposition Park. Ten received degrees, three in liberal arts, two in dentistry and five in pharmacy. Those receiving "A. B." were the Rev. S. M. Beane and Bert McDonald, of Los Angeles, and Miss Rush Prince of Pasadena. The graduates in dentistry were Hayward Thompson of Portland, Oregon, and William Pillow of Los Angeles. In pharmacy, Malcolm Patton, Simeon Draper, Lillian Flory, Bernard Herndon and Leola Lewis, all of Los Angeles. TEXAS LYNCHERS WANTED DEAD MAN'S WEALTH Kirvin, Texas, June 23.—Leroy and Ally Gibson, shot to death when a cracker mob lynched four here recently, were the grandchildren of Moses Gibson, one of the wealthiest colored farmers in Texas. Gibson owns three hundred acres of land in the Mexia oil section. The boys had no part in the crime and were put out of the way by the mob with the ultimate hope of getting control of the land. Ka Civil Rig HARDING IS ASKED TO DISMISS SHERILL FOR INSULTING RACE Officer Responsible for Insulting Colored Americans Twice Within Two Months Should Be Removed. REPUBLICANS ARE WARNED Washington, D. C., June 23.-Colored people of Washington, D. C., incensed at segregation of colored guests at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on May 30, are asking the dismissal of Col. Clarence C. Sherrill, a Southern Democrat Superintendent of Capital Grounds and Buildings, at whose door the segregation order is laid, according to announcement of Colored People 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Action has been taken by the District of Columbia Branch of Advancement Association which has forwarded resolutions demanding Col. Sherrill's dismissal to President Hardrill and Chief Justice Taft who is president of the Lincoln Memorial Commission and the Secretary of War. The resolutions state that the segregation complained of is the second incident of its kind in less than two months, the first being the placing of segregation placards in Rock Creek Park. The resolutions contain warning of the Republican party. "It would be a rude awakening and a painful disillusionment to us to realize that the party was approving and following a practice which was an incident of the institution of chatel slavery. Such a realization, in the case of a self-respecting people, could result only in severing of ties which until now have bound us to that party."

QUESTION OF RACIAL IDENTITY IS NOW IN STATE HIGH COURT Arkansas Supreme Court Rules That the Slightest Trace of Negro Blood Is Sufficient to Determine Racial Identity. SCHOOL BOARD CAUSES SUIT Children of Jefferson Black Denied Admission to Same School as Whites.—Father Files the Action. Little Rock, Ark., June 14.—In one of the most bitterly contested cases that has come before the courts of this state in years, Jefferson Black, presumably white, contended that his children were entitled to all the rights and efoluments of the Constitution of the United States and, therefore, should enjoy the privileges and opportunities guaranteed to American whites, but the Montgomery county court said "no." Black carried the case to the state supreme court which upheld the decision of the lower court. "A person with the slightest trace of Negro blood is a Negro, regardless of how closely he resembles a caucasian," so declared the courts of Arkansas. The above decision was handed down by the Arkansas Supreme Court last Tuesday in affirming the decision of the Montgomery county circuit court. The lower court had issued an order excluding the children of Jefferson Black from attendance at one of the white school; on the grounds that they were Negroes. The case came before the trial court on Black's petition when the directors of the school district declared the children to be Negroes and ordered them taken to another school. Evidence filed by the directors to the effect that the great-grand-father of the children had been a Negro slave, Black, however, declared that the children had a faint strain of Cherokee Indian blood in their veins, and in his petition stated that, "petitioner's children, in appearance, show no sign of Negro blood, and judged from their appearance alone would pass for persons of pure caucasian blood. In Mr. Black's transcope of appeal, filed in the supreme court, appeared pictures of the children. In affirming the finding of the lower court that the children were Negroes and the school directors were justified in excluding them from the school, the suprafe court, commenting on the laws interpreting what constitutes a person of Negro blood, said: "The language is broad, and has no relation to the degree of blood." GROWING THANK YOU Vol. VII—No. 51—Whole Number 363 CHAIR HARRY SMITH FILES FOR NOMINATION AS GOVERNOR OF OHIO Veteran Newspaper Editor, Who Polled Heavily Two Years Ago For Secretary, of State, Enters Gubernatorial Race. UNITED VOTE ABLE TO ELECT (Special to The Monitor) Cleveland, Ohio, June 23.—Harry C. Sifth, the well-known editor of the Cleveland Gazette, which has not missed an issue in forty-eight years, has entered the race for nomination on the republican ticket for governor of Ohio. Two years ago Mr. Smith filed for the nomination for secretary of state and rolled up the handsome vote of 62,000 which was only a few thousand behind the successful candidate. Encouraged by this fact and urged by loyal supporters and admirers throughout the state Mr. Smith has announced his candidacy for governor, paid the required filing fee and has entered actively upon his campaign for the nomination at the August primaries. When it is known that the race vote in Ohio numbers 125,000 it can be readily seen that with anything like unanimity Mr. Smith stands an excellent chance of winning. He served acceptably as a member of the State legislature in the early nineties and is the author of Ohio's famous Anti-Lynching Law and also of the effective Civil Rights Bill of this state. He introduced the mob-violence and anti-lynching law in the session of 1894 and reintroduced it in 1896. He persistently fought for it until it was placed on the statute books. It has stood the test of the supreme court, and has proven effective.

One of the largest outings for boys ever given in the city of Omaha will be held under the auspices of the Colored Commercial Club thru their committee on Boys' Work Sunday afternoon, July 2, at Elkhorn, Nebr. The number of boys who can be accommodated will depend largely upon the generosity of Omaha citizens in donating the use of their autos for the trip. Already twenty autos are pledged, but more are needed. One of Omaha's prominent citizens has given a liberal check to purchase wieners for the roast, without which no boy's picnic is complete. Come forth, gentlemen, and help to make this the happiest day of the year for the boys. Anyone wishing to donate their car for the afternoon kindly call Grace Morris Hutten. Webster 1822.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILITARY FIRST IN SERVICE THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN THE approaching political campaign is an important one. Federal, state and county officials are to be elected. The people have the privilege, duty and RESPONSIBILITY of nominating candidates for the several offices. The people are the ones who at the PRIMARIES, to be held July 18, have the say as to who shall be the Republican or Democratic candidate for United States Senator, Congressman, Governor, members of the legislature, Sheriff and so on down the line. The overwhelming majority of our people in Nebraska are registered as Republicans. Some few are registered as Democrats, and other as Socialists. It is the duty of every registered voter to go to the primaries and cast his or her vote for the man whom he believes is best fitted to make the race for the office sought. No group of citizens should be more intensely elected than the Colored Citizens. Never was there a time in the history of this country, state or community when the question as to the kind of men WE help elect to office were more vital than now. We are living in perilous times. The period is crucial. We need men of vision, broad-mindedness, courage and backbone in Congress, in the Governor's chair, in the Sheriff's office and elsewhere. Every man and woman in the state who is not registered should register and be prepared to vote at the primaries. It is their duty to become informed as to the character and attitude towards us of the various candidates who are striving for the nomination and then by their vote and influence see that these candidates are nominated. Whom do you want to be the Candidate for United States Senator, Congressman, Governor, Sheriff? It is up to you to say. You cannot, however, say this unless you are registered. Register and vote at the primaries! We want to emphasize the fact that the approaching political campaign is an important one, and that it is the duty of all our citizens who have not registered to do so at once in order that they may nominate by their vote at the July primaries the Western U.

THE MONITOR compliments Harry Clay Smith, veteran editor of The Cleveland Gazette, upon his filing for nomination for Governor of Ohio. We wish him success and believe he has a good chance of securing the nomination. Our race in Ohio has 125,000 registered voters. An analysis of the vote for governor two years ago shows what an assett this electorate is. Moreover, two years ago, Mr. Smith received approximately 62,000 votes for nomination for Secretary of State, which as we recall, put him only a few thousand behind the successful nominee. If our people stand unitedly behind Harry C. Smith, he will be nominated; and, if nominated, why should not Ohio, the rock-ribbed Republican state elect him, since he is an American of character and ability? But whether he is successful or unsuccessful in securing the nomination or election, is in our opinion secondary to the fact that our people in Ohio and in other states have served notice upon the Republican party, that we are sick and tired of continually voting for the other fellow and never being voted for. The issue as to whether we are American citizens, with all the constitutional rights of American citizens, must be frankly met. This includes the right to become candidates for any office we may desire. Harry C. Smith in filing two years ago for Secretary of State and this year for Governor of Ohio has done the right thing. We congratulate him and the electorate of Ohio, and wish him success. We hope that the 62,000 who voted for him two years ago will get 62,000 more to follow their example. The wish to serve as Governor of Ohio is certainly a laudable ambition. SENATOR BORAH maintains that he is exceedingly anxious to draft a federal anti-lynching law that will stand the test of the Supreme Court. In his judgment the Dyer-Bill is faulty. In our opinion Senator Borah is only bluffing. Able jurists maintain that the Dyer-Bill is constitutional. If Senator Borah is sincere UNIVERSITY NATIONAL INSTITUTION MID-WEST For Kansas City.

FIRE SHERILL FOR the insult offered representative colored citizens at the Lincoln Memorial, somebody should pay Roping off respectable citizens and stationing swaggering marines to "keep you damn niggers in your place" is not only an insult to Dr. and Mrs. Emmet J. Scott, Prof. and Mrs. Kelly Miller and other people of this type, who, be it said to their credit, refused to remain under these humiliating conditions, but to the whole race. Sherri should be fired and fired without delay. SCHOOL WORK THE excellent records made by students of our race in the public schools of Omaha show that they are taking advantage of their educational opportunities. Our students are attending school not for social privileges, but for educational advantages. We would have every student imbued with the ambition to excel in his classes. We would urge fuller and more hearty co-operation between parents and teachers to the end that our children may make the best of their educational opportunities. No, thank you, we need no separate play-grounds or separate schools in Omaha. That we ought to have some of our girls on the teachers' corps, as we once had, admits of no argument. WHAT OTHER EDITORS :: :: SAY :: :: DAUGHERTY AND BORAH Senator Borah of Idaho, whom representative Dyer termed as much of a Republican as Woodrow Wilson, says that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is unconstitutional. Attorney General Daugherty, legal adviser to the President, says that the Dyer bill is constitutional. Who is right? Senator Borah is busy with his judiciary committee of the Senate devitalizing the Dyer Bill so that the Senate can pass it. As the Bill now stands, counties in which a lynching occurs, or thru which lynchers transport a victim, are liable to $10,000 damage suits in the U. S. courts. Federal authorities are authorized to prosecute lynchers for murder in case the state courts fail to do so within thirty days. These are the main provisions of the Dyer Bill. Without these provisions, it is difficult to see what is the sense of passing any anti-lynching legislation with the hope of checking the growth of mob law. The fact of the matter is the Republicans in the Senate have been far too considerate of the feelings of the democrats in refusing to push the Dyer Bill. While they are trying to compromise on the issue, Texas alone proceeded to lynch twelve persons in May as a practical demonstration of how mobs may lynch and go unpunished. What the country wants is an ant-lynching law that will stop lynching. Colored people feel unanimously that the Dyer Bill will do it. If Borah, the irreconcilible, substitutes some milk and water bill for the present measure, the voters will expect the Senate as a whole to ignore the proposals of Mr. Borah and pass the DYER BILL AS IT STANDS—Baltimore Afro-American. CURB CONTEMPT FOR COLOR There is a resolution before the Massachusetts Legislature to memorize Congress in favor of the passage of the so-called Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which gives the Federal Government jurisdiction over situations in which the danger of lynching is involved. The humanity and justice of granting protection to our Negro citizens and, in fact, assuring Constitutional protection of the due process of law to all our citizens is too plain to need discussion. The colored population of the world is beginning to come into its own. We heard the other day of the Negro regiment from Jamaica which refused at the order of the British to sail or India, there to help the British hold down in their misery and oppression the people of India. We are making enemies or ourselves beyond our borders, and enemies which may become important enemies, by our practice of lynching. Perhaps more important than all, we are losing the respect of the thoughtful, just and discriminating people of the world by this practice of lawlessness and brutality. - Los Angeles Examiner, 4:28-22. 15th Annual Convention of the National Equal Rights League Historical Tours to Boston's Old Landmarks Each Day of Convention.

Madelra, the island to which the former emperor of Austria-Hungary and his wife have been banished, might be said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean—and the Middle Ages. And most interesting to Americans, perhaps, it was once the home of Christopher Columbus. Once one has penetrated into the country back of Funchal, the only town of the island that may be called a city, the simplest and most primitive of civilized conditions are found. Plows are merely the wooden beams tipped with a point of iron that Roman peasants used; draft animals are oxen; grain is threshed by being trodden out on old-fashioned threshing floors; and even in Funchal the most common means of conveyance is the sledge dragged over cobbled streets by slow-moving oxen. But with all its primitiveness Madeira is a land of great beauty and charm. It is considered by many, indeed, the modern version of the "Islands of the Blessed." It is situated in the latitude of Charleston, S. C., and the Bermudas, and is about as far southwest of the Strait of Gibraltar as the Bermudas are southeast of New York. Madeira, though, is not a lowly islet, but was once a huge volcanic peak, and has rugged mountain scenery comparable to that of the volcanic islands of the Pacific. In its rich volcanic soil on the slopes of its peaks, and in the hot-house-like air of some of its deep valleys, almost every known type of plant can be grown. The island has become a great botanical garden. It is only necessary to climb its slopes to pass from the growth of the semitropics to that of the temperate zone. Bananas and apples, tree-ferns and oaks, oranges and pears flourish with in a stone's throw of one another. Above three thousand feet where most of the cultivation stops the crests of the hills and mountains are covered with laurel and pine. Once Madeira supported dense forests of large trees, a fact which it its name, meaning "wood." But the early settlers fired the forests to clear the land and the later growth was for the most part of smaller trees and shrubs. Scenery Is Magnificent. The scenery of Madeira is on a magnificent scale out of proportion to the thirty-mile island. One ridge rises to more than 6,000 feet, and one valley especially, Curral da Freiras, has the luxuriance and charm more to be expected of the tropical islands of the East. Steep rugged cliffs mark the greater part of the coast; and on the low ground about the occasional bays and widened canyons that open to the sea huddle tiny towns. Possibly Maderia and the few small islands which make up the group were known to the Phoenicians and later to the Moors and the Genoese; but all records of their existence—unless vague legends be considered—had been lost by the beginning of the Fifteenth century. In 1418 or 1419 storms drove Portuguese mariners to the islands and they were there the first of the numerous small Atlantic islands to be discovered or rediscovered. Strangely enough it was little Porto Santo, not the relatively large Maderia, that was found. A colony was founded on the islet and remained many months before Maderia, only 23 miles away, was discovered. Unlike the nearby Canary Islands where the native Guanches had attained a considerable civilization, the Madrasas apparently had never been inhabited before their discovery in 1419. The islands were, in fact, given over almost solely to vegetation. No mammals or quadrupeds were found except a few bats and a species of rat. The only other living creatures that existed in this island paradise were a few birds. Through colonization Madeira and Porto Santo were soon peopled and today the former has a density of population nearly three times that of the mother country, Portugal. Then began the pouring into Madeira of the floral good things of the earth, a procedure which has made it a wonderland for botanists. Of primary economic importance was the introduction of sugar-cane from Sicily. Soon a very important sugar industry had been built up. Grapes were brought in from Crete, and by the time of the American Revolution the famous Madeira wine had shouldered sugar from its place of importance. Not a Prosperous People. Not a Prosperous People. In spite of the wonderful climate and soil of Madeira, its inhabitants are not very prosperous. This fact is probably chiefly due to the marked density of the population, to the lack of an adequate educational system, and to the brake applied to initiative by some of the governmental and fiscal regulations. Because of the pressure of population many of the young people have emigrated during the past few decades. Illiteracy is widespread. The people of Madeira have many strains in their blood. Italians, Jews, Moors, negro slaves, and English have all contributed elements, but the Portuguese have always been incomparably the most important factor, and the resulting men and women are undeniably dark, swarthy sons and daughters of Portugal. Members of the upper classes are courtesy itself. After wine production, Madeira's most important "industry" is its tourist traffic. For more than half a century the island has been the sun-palour of the English, the white officials from the African colonies, and numerous Europeans. But to most of the tourists Madeira is Funchal, the little city of 25,000 population which nestles, gleaming white, in a big amphitheater on the south side of the island and which has many of the modern facilities which the outside world expects. Funchal's harbor is only a roadstead, but it is never deserted, for the city lies at an ocean cross-roads of the routes that lead between the Strait of Gibraltar and the West Indies and South America, and between South Africa and England. And it had in pre-war days lines that plied directly to England, the Canaries, the Azores and Portugal. The precipitous streets of Funchal compelled the use of sledges instead of wheeled vehicles in the early days, and these quaint and primitive vehicles are still in use. The motive power is usually supplied by oxen and some of the sledges are luxuriously fitted out with elaborate canopies. A thrill can be gotten from Funchal's primitive vehicles not surpassed by that from the racing automobile, for it is customary in descending from the hills to coast down over the cobblestones on small sleds with greased runners. One of the regular excursions for tourists in Funchal, even though they stay in the island but a few hours, is a trip to an elevation of 2,000 feet above the harbor by a cog railroad and an exciting slide down. Walkers climbing the hills about the city regularly arrange to have "livery sleds" meet them at certain points on the heights that they may coast back to the lower levels. Funchal's cog railroad gives access to several level roads which wind about the faces of the hills back of the city affording excellent views of the city and roadstead below. Opening upon these and farther up near the terminus of the railroad are the show places of the city. In some of these villa estates are to be found gardens of flowers and shrubs and trees whose beauty is probably unsurpassed anywhere in the world. WANTS CONGRESS TO ERECT A MONUMENT TO PILOT OF NINA Congressman Madden Introduces Resolution to Create Commission on Plans for Monument to Pietro Alonzo EXPLORER WITH COLUMBUS Discoverer of America Describes Pilot Who Was With Him on His Two Voyages of Exploration. By Walter J. Singleton Washington, D. C., June 23—Special to the Monitor: Congressman Madden has introduced into the House of Representatives a Joint Resolution to create a Commission for the preparation of plans for the erection of a monument to Pietro Alonzo. It will be of interest to note that Alonzo was a Negro, and was the pilot of the "Nina," on the first and second voyages of Christopher Columbus. It was a a happy and generous thought that prompted Mr. Madden to frame this resolution, which, if passed, may establish a precedent for recognition, in a similar manner, of other notable members of the race who, as makers of history, may merit such distinction.

Afraid of the Classics. A farce comedy recently opened in New York with the title "The Merchant of Venus!" The critics praised it and it was apparently destined for a long run, but despite the fact it was in the smallest theater in town very small audiences came. The manager discovered that people thought it was a burlesque of a Shakespearean play. He changed the name to "Because of Helen!" and the theater was filled every night thereafter.—Atlanta Constitution. ```markdown ``` THE MONTIOR RACE PRESS IS (Continued from Page One) streets are unpaved, the lights poor; where vice abounds; where the exploiters of every hue and shade may work their will, taking from the community all that is best and leaving all that is worst, like the powers that prey on segregated social evil groups. But this solves nothing; it makes a problem much greater than the one it would remove. Besides, it is against the best thought extant in the world today; it is even against the law of the land. The colored press and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People understand this. They are misunderstood, many times, but they are, after all, rendering the highest civic and social service it is possible to render to their community and country. Other agencies which are now seeking and securing improvements in neighborhoods where large numbers of colored people reside are the Omaha Civic Committee and some of the church and fraternal societies. All of us should be grateful to the colored press and other agencies for their contribution to our civic effort. For, if we ever have a hall of fame, the men in the seat of greatest honor should be Negro editors. They of all men the race has produced have given most and received least. Talent Served Him Well Talent Served Him Well. A story is told that in the time of Frederick the Great there was a soldier who played the lewiswar so well that his fame spread. When on guard one day he was asked by Frederick to go to the palace to play for him, the soldier refusing as he would be punished if he left his post. However, when he at last played at the palace the king was so pleased that he gave the soldier honorable discharge from military service. Owls Ir Old University City. Owls in Old University City. Owls, as is proper in the case of birds of such renowned solemnity and secluded habit, have always exhibited a particular liking for Oxford university. Recently they have established a new colony in the ivy-covered walls of the Bodleian library and the Tower of the Five Orders, in the Old Schools quadrangle. Members of the library staff now occasionally find relaxation from their duties by rescuing the young birds which find their way down to the pavement of the quadrangle and are unable to fly up to their nests.
