State Historical Society LIFTING LIFT EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION IS GREAT SUCCESS Well-Arranged Program Is Carried Out Successfully to the Delight of Large and Appreciative Assemblage. DESDUNES' BAND MAKES HIT Rev. John Albert Williams Delivers Notable Address on "The Black Cipher in the American Equation." (Special to The Monitor.) Red Oak, Ia., Aug. 4.—The enterprising colored citizens of this progressive Iowa city planned and successfully carried out a splendid program in connection with the first Emancipation' celebration held here last Tuesday. The exercises were held at the beautiful Chataqua grounds. The attendance was estimated at fifteen hundred. Nearly that number assembled under the spacious pavilion for the afternoon program, the attendance at this session being much larger than in the morning. The members of the race present numbered about 300. Red Oak's colored population, which numbers only about 100, being augmented by visitors from adjacent towns in Iowa and many from Omaha. The exercises of the day began with a parade led by DesDunes" band from the downtown section to the Chautauqua grounds, where the following program was rendered: Music, by the band; chorus, "Liberty," led by Mrs. A. Jones; prayer by the chaplain, Rev. B. F. Hub' 1 of Clarinda, Iowa; who also substituted for the mayor in making the address of welcome; which was responded to by Mrs. H. S. Webster; tenor solo, by Levi Broomfield; an ad pass by Rev. J. H. Hand; declamation, "Our Colored Soldiers," by Mrs. Catherine Cooper. The afternoon program began promptly at half past one o'clock, and consisted of music by the band, which of course demanded an encore; "The Star Spangled Banner" by chorus led by Mrs. A. W. Jones; "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation," by Mrs. Oscar Davis; solo by Mrs. Anna Stewart; address by Rev. John Albert Williams, orator of the day; cornet solo by Jeff W. Smith of Omaha; tenor solo by Levi Broomfield; address by Rev. B. F. Hubbard; solo by Mrs. Gertrude Brooks of Omaha; closing number by the band. Every number on the program was well executed, each participant receiving an encore. The audience did not want to let Levi Broomfield go. He was given an ovation. DesDunes' band as always made a hit. The Rev. John Albert Williams, who delivered the principal address, chose as his topic, "The Black Cipher in the American Equation." The speaker made many telling points. The theme developed was that in American life, the Negro has been largely regarded as a cipher, not counting for much, but the audience was reminded that in expressing magnitude one could not get very far without using the cipher. He brought an array of historical facts and data to show that in casting up the sum total of American life and achievement the "Black Cipher" rounded out the score. A baseball game between the All Nations, a colored team from Clarinda, and the Red Oak team (white) closed the sports of the day. The visiting team was trimmed to the tune of 18 to 6. From 7:30 to 9:00, DesDunes' band gave a concert in the public square which was listened to by an immense throng, all Red Oak and the region round about apparently being present. NO COLOR OR RACE LINES The two summer camps at Centerville Mills, Aurora, O., recently conducted by the Y. M. C. A., were enjoyed by between 200 and 300 boys, among whom were a number of our youth. Swimming, athletics, boating, etc., were thoroughly enjoyed. Each leader had charge of ten boys. Rev. W. B. Southern of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, this city, Orlando Withers and several other Afro-Americans were among the leaders. The boys were housed (mixed) in tents, regardless of race or color, and the camps were IDEAL in this respect, at least. It is not necessary to say that they were perfect successes and most credible indeed to the Y. M. C. A. and to all concerned. Mr. L. T. Goodman, executive secretary of the Downtown Boys' Community branch, Central Y. M. C. A., was in charge of both camps and is entitled to major credit for their success. The advent in camp, one day last week, of Clarence Benjamin Gibson, assistant in the conduct of the boys' department at the Central Y. M. C. A., was hailed with general delight by all the boys, with whom he is deservedly popular. "Gibby," as he is familiarly called by his scores THE MONITOR The image is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. of young admirers, is very popular with them, although a strict disciplinarian. From all we are able to learn, Mr. Goodman and his assistant are broadminded young men, well-placed. The absence of everything that savored of discrimination on the score of race or color was the best feature of both camps, and too, there were boys of many nationalities or races who were cared for. They were REALLY Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association camps.—The Cleveland Gazette KU KLUX NEEDS NO MASK FOR NEGROTS The evidence is that in the South the "Ku Klux" are not bothering with Negroes. Nearly all, if not all, the lawlessness done in the South in the last twelve months by masked men has had white men for its victims. The naked truth is that when a band of lynchers set out to kill a Negro they do not take the trouble to mask. They do not think it necessary in these days to join a secret society, pay initiation fees and buy regalia when Negroes are the quarry. So far the Ku Klux are not persecuting Negroes, numerous as the recent outrages against Negroes in Texas, Mississippi and other states have been. Saying this, we do not relieve the South of any of the guilt of mob law. A lynching is not less a crime when it is done by men not masked. Ku Klux methods are employed in the South against white men because the victims may have friends who would cause arrests or otherwise "fight back"—Columbia S. C. State. JOHNSON NAMED DIRECTOR New York, Aug. 4.-James W. Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was named on a board of directors with eight white persons to handle a million dollar "American Fund for Social Service." The donor is Charles Carland, white, who inherited the money from his father. Carland at first rejected his inheritance, but later accepted it in order to devote it to social service work. According to the incorporators the fund is to be used for "agencies which are so new or experimental that they do not command general public support". PARDONED AFTER SERVING FOURTEN YEARS IN PRISON St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 4.—By the Associated Negro Press.—Charles L. A. Hincher, who was sentenced to serve a 99-year term in the penitentiary for murder, was freed by Governor Hyde on recommendation of the state prison board, after serving fourteen years of his term. TWO ESCAPE FROM PRISON Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4.—Freeman and Will Pinkerton, two colored convicts, made a spectacular escape from the road gang near Center Hill, after overpowering and disarming Guard D. M. Pittman. Freeman had served eight years of a 20-year sentence for burgalry, while Pinkerton was serving an eight-year term for robbery, having completed about two years of the sentence. They have not been captured. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor The first contingent of colored draftees for the World War left Omaha, August 5, 1918. A large concourse of citizens of both races accompanied them to the Union Station to see them entrain. This picture of the Crispus Attucks' Chapter of the Red Cross and citizens sending off our boys to help "make the world safe for democracy" was taken at that time, and therefore is of interest to our readers on this fourth anniversary of that event.

ANTI-KU KU KLUX KLAN IS ORGANIZED IN ILLINOIS Springfield, Ill., Aug. 4.—Preston News Service.—For the past six weeks organizers have been here moving silently, swiftly and secretly perfecting an Anti-Ku Klux Klan organization. It was learned that nearly 1,000 persons joined this new movement. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 4, 1922 The officers of the organization declare that something must be done to prevent Illinois being placed in the same category with Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and other states where lynching and other forms of lawlessness are going on under the guise of "100 per cent Americanism". VIRGINIA "LILY BLACKS" WANT HENRY FORD FOR PRESIDENT Richmond, Va., Aug. 4.—Declaring resolutions will be submitted calling upon Henry Ford, Detroit motor magnate, to stand for the presidential nomination. J. R. Pollard, chairman of the Negro or "Lily Black" republican party in Virginia, has called a meeting of that body at Buckroe Beach, Va., August 6, to nominate a candidate for the United States senate and ten candidates for congress from Virginia.

LEAVES LEAGUE $5,000 New York City, Aug. 4.—The National Urban League for Social Service Work among colored people has received a check for $5,000 from Mrs. Ella Sack Plotz, white, who died recently. POLITICAL SITUATION IN James Weldon Johnson, Backed by 35,000 Votes, Being Groomed to Succeed Congressman New York, Aug. 4.—Will New York or Chicago be the first northern center to return a Colored American to congress? Chicago will not this year. The nominations have been made, and in the First District, where the votes are almost four to one colored, Martin B. Madden, chairman of the Appropriations committee, has been retained. In New York the situation is different. The nominations are yet to be made, and strong efforts are being made to induce James Weldon Johnson to oppose Congressman Ansorge, who comes from practically a colored district. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says: "The Negro vote in the greater city is about 50,000 among 1,250,000 voters. But of the 50,000 colored votes fully 35,000 are located in the Twenty-first congressional district where the blacks are clamoring for a candidate of their very own, a favorite being James Weldon Johnson, a conspicuously able Negro. The incumbent, Martin C. Ansorge, a white man who aspires to be returned to the House this autumn, is finding the colored portion of his district in open revolt against the republican party. The total vote of the congressional district is 80,000.

There was a time when Charles W. Anderson, a Negro formerly United States internal revenue collector, could go among his race and turn their minds any way in the interest of republican candidates. But not so nowadays, for a new generation of colored people have taken up the problems of their race. BISHOP JONES AT GROVE M. E. CHURCH Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, La., will preach at Grove M. E. church at 22nd and Seward streets Friday evening, August 11th. The Bishop was for a number of years the efficient editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, the organ and mouthpiece for the three hundred and sixty-five thousand Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal Church in particular and the Negro race in general. Having won so much for our race by his strong editorials the Bishop is entitled to a packed house on Friday night. At the General Conference in May, 1920, at Des Moines, Iowa, the General Church put itself on record by lifting this worthy character to the gift of its highest honor (The General Superintendency.) He being the first Negro so honored has proven in every way the wisdom of the great church, for his Episcopal area stands among the foremost in Methodism. Ministers, their congregations and the public are cordially invited to hear him. T. S. Saunders, Pastor.

Dillard Declares America Should Spent Five Times More Money for Education. PUBLIC TAXES FOR SCHOOLS Dr. John A. Gregg Is Elected President of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. By WM. ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Va., Aug. 4.—Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., in his address on "Co-operation", delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, before the closing session of the eighteenth annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, expressed the profound conviction that America ought right away to spend five times as much money for education as it is now exepting. "America could afford to spend this money for education." he said, "if the people should quit paying $40,000,000 for every battleship." Doctor Dillard, who is a member of the General Education board and president of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, stated that the Jeanes Fund received from public tax funds $3,402 in 1912-1913 and in 1921-22 received $115,000. The county training schools for colored students, which increased from 4 in 1912 to 156 in 1922, received, for salaries, from public funds $3,444 in 1912 and in 1922 received, from the same source, $416,000. This last amount was more than doubled by appropriations for other forms of support. Of the $1,407,000 spent in building "Rosenwald schools", which are modern rural schools for Negroes, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago gave $293,000; white people, $151,000; colored people, $403,000; public tax funds, $560,000. Doctor Dillard declared that the masses cannot be educated by philanthropy. "The only right way to educate people is through public taxes." The Association elected Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, O., president, and R. S. Grosley, assistant state supervisor of Negro schools, Jackson, Miss, executive secretary. Sixteen other officers, including seven women, were installed by the first president of the association, R. R. Wright, Sr., Philadelphia. The 1923 meeting will be held at Tuskegee Institute, July 25-27. OPEN $10,000 DRIVE AGAINST VICE IN U. S. New Orleans, La., Aug. 4.—Colored members of the Volunteers of America have opened a $10,000 campaign for a parental home in the organization's fight against vice, with appeals from the pupils of all race churches. THE POET'S INGLE NOOK Lord, keep me young, though my joints get crecky, My hair turn gray and my eyes go bad, Though the valves of my heart get somewhat leaky, Let my spirit still be a spirit glad. For arteries harden and thews grow rusty And the strength may be as a spring that's sprung, But the mind and the soul may still be lusty If You, Dear Master, will keep me young. Lord, keep me young, though the years may chill me And love be only a tale that's told, Life will have glamor and glow to thrill me So long as the heart of me isn't old; If my voice shall be too cracked for singing, If my feet no more in the dance are flung I still can list to the laughter ringing And find it good—if you keep me young.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT The Omaha Elks are giving a mammoth picnic for the boys of Omaha between the ages of six and sixteen, Saturday at Elmwood Park. The management has generously provided an abundance of good things to eat and drink for their guests and prizes for numerous games. The Monitor hopes the weather will be ideal and that Jupiter Pluvius will cease watering this garden spot of the Lord, peerless Nebraska, long enough on that day to in no way dampen the spirits or the garments of the boys and their generous hosts. The Elks have made it very plain in sending out their invitations that this picnic is for the boys of Omaha, between the designated ages, without any distinction as to race, creed or color. This is the right spirit. The Elks are composed as a rule of a bunch of good-time, bighearted fel- THE B The Busiest Week in Our Furniture Department INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged.

May the spirit manifested by the Elks continue to grow until democracy shall indeed become a reality. DOING ONE'S BEST We had occasion this week, as we do more or less frequently, to drop into the business office of the World-Herald. A pleasant-faced and sweet-voiced girl came courteously forward to find out what we wanted. It was a "mat" of an advertisement. She went at once to see if it were ready. In the meantime a gentleman employed in the advertising department, whom we know quite well, came in and greeting us pleasantly, asked: "Is anybody waiting on you?" We replied in the affirmative, telling him what we were waiting for, and that the young lady had gone for it. "I thought so," he replied, "Helen's a pretty good kid, she always tries to do her best." What a fine compliment, and we believe a deserved one. How much better this old world of ours would be, and how much more of happiness and contentment and success there would be if everybody like Helen would try to do his best. We do not know this young girl's other name. We know that she was attentive, courteous and obliging, valuable assets in business and professional life. We sincerely hope that all through life she will meet well-deserved success, and when the summons comes to enter into the Presence or the Father Who rewardeth everyone according as his work shall be, the Recording Angel may write: "Helen is a pretty good kid. She always tried to do her best." WE WONDER We sometimes wonder how long it will take the United States to awaken to a knowledge of the fact of what a wonderful asset she has in her citizens of African descent? As from time to time we delve into American history and see the part that our race has played in the development of this country we are filled with pride. Some day America will understand us better, we hope. In the meantime let us know our own history and continue to do our part. PLANNING AHEAD Our people frequently fall in substantial accomplishment of things desirable, and particularly, where corporate or united action is needed, by overlooking the importance of planning ahead. We generally wait too long before we move. We need sadly to learn the wisdom and expediency of planning ahead. RECORD DROP IS 24.206 FEET Dayton, O., Aug. 4—Capt. A. W. Stevens, at McCook field, established a new parachute jumping record when he descended 24,206 feet. Another record was broken when Lieut.

We prefer that writers sign their names, but in all cases letters signed, with a capital, are preferred. The scribler, etc., must be accompanied by the name and address of the author for the editor's information. THE LUTHERANS AND THE COLORED PEOPLE The Monitor publishes with great pleasure a communication from Peter Bonnema in reply to our editorial of last week captioned "Creed, Conduct and Color," in which we commented on the report given wide currency of the threatened "split" in the recent Walther League Convention over the "color question." We are pleased to learn from such a reliable source that the near split existed only in the imagination of a newspaper reporter and that the League did not surrender, in its International Convention at least, to sectional prejudice. The information that the Lutherans are striving to do effective educational and missionary work among colored people will be gratifying to our readers. Personally, we have met but few colored Lutherans and have heard of but few, and naturally concluded that they were "as scarce as hen's teeth." We welcome any sincere efforts, wherever and by whomsoever, made to raise our people to a higher intellectual and spiritual standard. In last week's issue of The Monitor a short editorial was written in regard to the Walther Leagues of the Lutheran Church. In the first place, colored Lutherans are not "as scarce as the proverbial hen's teeth," as I will afterwards show you. Secondly, this earnest body of Christian young people DID NOT come near splitting over the question of admitting colored delegates to the floor of the International Convention. We do admit that this question was talked about and the best thing possible for me to do is to copy part of the minutes of the business meeting: "Be it resolved, that Walther League societies for colored Lutherans be established wherever there be a colored Lutheran church. "Furthermore, be it resolved that all colored Walther Leaguers be entitled to send one or more delegates to the International Convention, and "Furthermore, be it resolved that the question of sending colored delegates to STATE conventions be left to the discrimination of individual states or districts." This will perhaps settle the question in regard to the "split" at the Omaha Convention. Then we would like to have our colored friends know that the Lutheran church has under its auspices two colored Lutheran colleges. One at New Orleans and the other at Greensboro. The Walther League issues a publication entitled "The Lutheran Pioneer" treating entirely on colored missions and church work. At the Illinois State Convention a colored delegate was present from Springfield. Hoping this will clear up the misunderstanding that we think was caused by the aforementioned editorial, we beg to remain.

EUROPE'S FOUR-YEAR "JEWEL JAG" PASSING Gems Valued at Billion Francs Dumped on Market in Paris. Europe's four-year "jewel jag" is about over, and the Paris gem trade foresees the passing of the crisis that resulted from the dumping of about 1,000,000,000 francs' worth of stolen, confiscated and smuggled jewels on the Paris market. Leonard Rosenthal, the jewel expert employed to value the Hapsburg treasure, says the collapse in the precious stone market was prevented only by the war's creation of enough profiteers to absorb the oversupply. This flood of jewels, M. Rosenthal says, came in three waves. The first was brought by feeling Russian aristocrats, who smuggled out family fortunes in their hair or sewn in the lining of their clothing. Sometimes valuable stones were even imbedded in the flesh. One Russian prince sold for 3,500,000 francs a group of emeralds his ancestors bought two centuries ago for 480,000 francs. One of the czar's emeralds was sold in Paris for thirty-two times its cost. A Russian duke, congratulated upon selling his jewels for 10,000,000 francs, replied: "How can I live on 500,000 francs a year?" His prewar expenditures in Petrograd varied between 12,000,000 and 15,000,000 francs yearly. The second wave consisted of jewels valued at 800,000,000 to 400,000,000 francs, confiscated by the soviet government. The third wave was the dispersion of the collections of kings and kinglets, princes and dukes of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Hapsburg court furnished the treasure of ten centuries, and for this Emperor Charles' agents asked 50,000,000 francs, but took between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000. BRITISH WORKMAN CAN SPEED Prove it by Building a House a Day Under a Transparent Box. Commodious, well-built dwelling houses are going up at Feltham, a suburb of London, at the rate of one a day. Such speed in building has never been witnessed here before. It is all the more striking because it occurs at a time when complaints are heard on every side that the British workman "is not what he used to be" and that nothing will induce him to get through any job at the ordinary speed of an American workman. The explanation is found in the fact that the man who is getting the work done learned how to hustle and how to handle men on the other side of the Atlantic. He is J. H. Taylor, head of an engineering firm in London. By birth he is a Canadian. Early in his career he was a railroad contractor. He helped to build the Great Northern, the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk railways. Now he is England applying what he learned in Canada. Speaking of the British workmen, Mr. Taylor says: "They are fine when treated and handled properly. I have never seen better nor more rapid work done in any part of the world than British workmen are doing here." CONQUERS BONE INFECTION New Treatment in Chicago Hospital Cures 75 Per Cent of Cases. A non-surgical treatment of osteomyitis, or bone-infection, has been revealed to the Chicago Medical society by Dr. N. M. Laporte of Chicago. This new treatment, now available to all physicians, reverses the methods of current practice. Heretofore bone-inflammations have involved disfiguring operations, prolonged invalidism and crippled bodies. The new treatment utilizes the oxidizing power of aluminum potassium nitrate. Dressings of rolled oats treated with the chemical enable the affected area to avail itself of nature's power for self-cure. At a recent series of demonstration clinics in Mercy hospital 400 cases were treated. Though many were in the chronic stage the results in the opinion of the hospital surgeons were extraordinary, for 75 per cent of cures resulted. Patients were able, while under treatment, to leave their hospital beds and go about their business. The new method is being applied to all varieties of infection of the bone and soft tissue—bone tuberculosis, running sores and abscesses and even forms of diabetic gangrene.

In the Bel- gian Congo, for example, where are to be met typical negroes of the trop- fes, one finds people who are frankly savages, to be sure, with customs dis- gusting to the westerner but who Possess good traits for all that. If the tribes are approached properly hardly one will be found whieh is not naturally good-tempered, and in most Instances hospitable and trustful. Stanleyville, the chief station in north-central Congo, was @ few years ago a strange mixture of an Arab, European and negro town. Whatever harm the Arabs may have doue to the natives, and there Is no doubt that in thetr sinve-raiding expeditions they have slaughtered them by the thou- sands, they certainly have taught them mitny a good thing. It was the Arabs who Introduced rice Mudaguscar po- tatoes, beans and many useful plants, ‘They have taught the natives clean- lness and established schools in many centers. ‘The town Is much used as an out- fitting point for expeditions but at times It 1s disappointingly short of supplies.

Extensive deposits of graphite exist in northwestern Siberia, on the left bank of the River Kuretka, near the Junction with the River Yentsel, 90 infles from the mouth of the latter river. ‘The graphite area forms » horl- zontal plateau, the elevation of which varies from 20 to 50 feet above the normal level of the River Kuretka. The plateau contains two layers of grapb- ite, which is of a solid steel-gray color, ton aod of am excelent fealty for the manufacture of pencils.
