$2.00 a Year 5c a Copy METHODIST PRELATE GIVEN A WELCOME BY LARGE AUDIENCE Bishop Robert E. Jones, First Man of His Race to Be Elevated to Episcopate by Methodist Episcopal Church, Visits Omaha. DELIVERS NOTABLE ADDRESS "God Not a Principle, But a Personality Interested in the Daily Affairs of Men," Declares Speaker. Declaring that God is not a principle but a present, potential Personality, intimately interested in the everyday affairs of life, Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, La, former editor of the Southwestern Christian Recorder, and first man of his race to be elevated to the episcopate by the Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered an eloquent and instructive address to a large audience in Grove Methodist Episcopal church, of which Rev. T. S. Saunders is pastor, last Friday night. This was Bishop Jones' first visit to Omaha He is a man of charming personality, unassuming and unostentatious, magnetic, scholarly and eloquent. His address made a favorable impression upon all who heard him. He expressed his pleasure at being in the city of which he had long heard and from which he had received many courteous invitations. "With absolutely due appreciation of the splendid work all Methodists and other Christian bodies are doing among our race, I believe I may be pardoned, if I say that I do not believe any Christian body has done or is doing more for the evangelization, education and recognition of the Colored people of the United States than is the Methodist Episcopal church," said Bishop Jones. "There are three great denominations, commonly spoken of as white churches, aside from our own, with Colored communicants and doing good work among Negroes. These are the Presbyterians, the Episcopalians and the Congregationalists. We have five times as many colored members as all three of these combined. Our membership is 350,000. Our educational work among Negroes stands without a parallel, not only in instructing our youth but in recognizing the ability of our own people to stand in positions of leadership and administration. Institutions like Wiley, Sam Hueston, Rust and George R. Smith colleges and Claffin university are among the striking examples of. For the theological education we point with pardonable pride to Gammoth Theological seminary; and it must not be forgotten that Meharry Medical school was founded and maintained by the Methodist Episcopal church for the education of Negro physicians and dentists. The latter institution has just been turned over by this board to the race, with all its buildings and the sum of $400,000 for the development of its splendid work. From the Centenary fund which centers around Negro work, there has been already appropriated the immense sum of $1,750,000 for educational work among Negroes. Moreover, there is not a single board administering the affairs of the Methodist Episcopal which has not at least one colored member on it. So, I think it must be conceded, that no other Christian body in America has done or is doing more for the advancement of our people or in giving us merited recognition." Bishop Jones then passed on to the discussion of man's relationship to God and God's relationship to man. Among some of his striking utterances on this head were: "One and God make a majority." It was Frederick Douglass who put this statement upon the lips of 100,000,000 Americans, who use it without thinking of the author. One and God make a majority, if that one is of the right type. God is not a principle but a present potential Personality, deeply interested in every day affairs of life. God to me is a Personal God, who thinks, loves, wills, judges and helps men in every time of trouble. I love to think of God not far off on the circle of the earth but down here among the busy haunts of man, where men are at work in the shop, office, field or mart; by the editor as he sits down to write with the desire to help men, with the physician at the bed side, with the teacher in the school room. I like to think of God with a labor union card in his pocket, in sympathy with his fellow workman, and by the washtub with the toiler there, a God of love and sympathy Who is interested in our work a day world. "God can use men, if they will let Him. In order that God may use men, men must be unselfish, good, not saints, but genuinely good in their hearts, loving and prayerful. THE MONITOR "Our race has a characteristic which I hope they will never lose. It is said with truth, Negroes quickly forgive and soon forget. This is the manifestation of a loving heart, and after all love is the power that will conquer. Not force, but love. The world war was a manifestation of force and hate. It settled nothing. No man can make me hate him, for hate damages more the hater than the one hated. Therefore, let love rule the hearts of this race and no-power can hold it back. "God is not a luxury but a necessity in every life. X plus Y plus Z minus God is a failure in every life. X may equal intellectual ability; Y, great wealth; Z, untold influence, but minus God life will be a failure. X plus Y plus Z PLUS God is a success in every life, always and everywhere. X may equal ignorance; Y, poverty; Z, weakness, but PLUS God that life is a success, always and everywhere." The combined choirs of St. John's A. M. E. and Grove M. E. lead the singing. The lesson was read by the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John's; prayer was offered by the Rev. O. J. Burckhardt. Several ministers, physicians and dentists, many of the physicians being alumni of Meharry, hal sat on the platform. The Rev. Dr. Griffin G. Logan, presiding elder and former pastor of Grove, introduced Bishop Jones. The Rev. J. O. Williams of Paris, Tex., and the Rev. C. S. Williams of Beaumont were also present. BISHOP JONES PAYS MONITOR COMPILENT Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, La., in speaking at the Grove Methodist Episcopal Church last Friday night, paid The Monitor an appreciated compliment. He said that he was anxious to visit Omaha for many reasons, one among many being that he desired to meet Father Williams, editor of The Monitor, the splendid publication which as editor of the Southwestern Christian Recorder he had always read with delight and inspiration. He then asked for those who were subscribers, "not mere readers, but subscribers of The Monitor, to hold up your hand." Many hands went up. "That's a good showing," said the bishop, "but it ought to be better. It's an able publication and deserves unanimous support." Thank you, Bishop Jones.—Editor Monitor.

JOHNSON MAKES STATEMENT Declares Acceptance of Loan Will Perpetuate American Occupation and Domination of Island Republic. New York, Aug. 18.—J. Jolibois, of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, editor of Le Courier Haitien, a leading newspaper of Haiti, was twice arrested and confined to jail during the month of June, for protesting against certain financial powers n the United States forcing a loan of $40,000,000.00 on the Haitian government, according to a letter received and made public by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. M. Jolibois has been one of the most outspoken of Haitian leaders in denouncing the acts of the American occupation. In commenting on the arrest of M. Jolibois and the causes of his having been imprisoned, Mr. Johnson said: "It is obvious that the efforts now being made to force this loan of forty million dollars on the Haitian government, which the Haitians declare they do not need and do not want, is for the purpose of future justification of continuance of the occupation of Haiti by the United States Government. When unpleasantly direct demands are made on the American Government in the future to end the occupation of this Republic, the obvious re- tort would be that such a step would be impracticable until money loaned by American banking houses is repaid. "The arrest and imprisonment of M. Jollibbs for daring to speak out on a matter regarding which there should be the utmost freedom of speech and press is simply another incident in what is already a record in imperial despotism. In spite of the recent report by the Senate Committee, headed by Senator McCormick of Illinois, which almost completely absolves the Occupation from all blame, the case of M. Jollibbs is indicative of just what our neighbors to the south are undergoing in the process of 'benevolent tutelage' by the American Government."

World-Reknown Opera Singer, Says Negroes Are Real Americans and Should be Given Better Treatment. MANSION NOW MUSIC SCHOOL Chicago, Aug 18—Miss Pauline Lee, President of the Chicago University of Music, which institution has stirred the pride of Chicago from center to circumference, has again thrilled the populace with her achievements. Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, who was in the city for a few hours, on her way from California to New York, wired Miss Lee to arrange for a private conference on the progress of the school since its inception in the Schumann-Heink mansion. The madame was highly pleased with the report of Miss Lee and the progress of the institution. While in the city Mme. Schumann-Heink gave out a remarkable interview concerning her attitude on Colored Americans, which appeared in the Chicago Daily News. The interview said: "Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, grand opera singer, Saturday paid Chicago, 'the city she adores,' a brief visit. Coincident with her arrival announcement was made that her old homestead at East 37th street and South Michigan avenue, where she lived for eight years, has been leased to the Chicago University of Music, a school for colored musicians, for a period of three years, with an option to purchase.

The party went to the Auditorium hotel. "I always love to come to Chicago; I adore it," said Mme. Schumann-Heink after they were comfortably settled at the hotel, where she confirmed the report that she had rented her home in Chicago to the school. Has No Fears "I expect to be criticized by some for turning my home over to and patronizing the colored people, but I don't care. Negroes are real Americans, and we are in duty bound to treat them as human. "I am independent and have no fears. As I stood by the soldier boys I will stand by the colored folk. If we would treat them right we wouldn't have strikes and crime and we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the world. "We should give the Colored people a chance to develop instead of welcoming with open arms Russian radicals and other foreigners, who, in many instances, do our country more harm than good. "Look at the great men and women of the South; all were cared for by colored mammies. Many of our colored people are good enough to act as our servants and do useful work. We should treat them as humans. "It hurts me to see strangers in my home, but it has been vacant for two years, and with some one in it now it will be cared for." Mme. Schumann-Heink arrived from San Diego, Calif., where she has taken up her residence. She was en route East, where she has a number of concert engagements. CONVICT WHITE MAN CONVICT WHITE MAN IN ASSAULT CASE Judy of White Men Find Married Man, a Father, Guilty of Criminally Attacking a Fourteen-Year- Old Colored Girl. Tifton, Ga., Aug. 18th—Coming as a climax to one of the most sensational court trials in the history of the local courts here, a jury of 12 white men found another white man guilty of criminal assault upon a 14-year-old colored girl. The man was sentenced from two to three years in the penitentiary. The crime, one of the most revolting in years, was perpetrated by A. P. Cox, a married man and the father of several children. Feeling was tense following the outrage and for a time it was feared that the man would be lynched. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED "Hill Crest," the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones, was a scene of unique beauty last Thursday evening when the engagement of their daughter Irene to William Bernard Reed of Denver, Colo., was announced at a seven o'clock dinner. The 24 guests who were members of the younger social set were seated at small tables on the spacious lower veranda which was decorated with ferns and hanging baskets. The color scheme was lavender. Just as the elaborate four course dinner was being brought to a close, a miniature newspaper was passed to each guest. Surprised indeed were they when upon examination thouf found a heart-shaped photo of Miss Jones upon the inside announcing her engagement. A little item about each guest also appeared in the paper. Out of town guests were Miss Irene Newman of Chicago and Mrs. Ethel Nash of Nashville, Teen. The wedding will take place October 2nd, 1922. CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON.

WHITE EDITOR TAKES HIS RACE TO TASK FOR RIDICULING US William Allen White, Famous Newspaper Man, Does Not Approve of Derisive Attitude of Caucasians Toward Black Folk. COLCRED PEOPLE ARE NUMAN Their Aspirations For Recreation and Culture Are Normal and Fun-Poking Whites Betray Own Stupidity. (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 18—William Allen White, nationally famed daily newspaper editor of Emporia, Kansas, in a syndicated article, published recently in a number of daily papers, told the "white people where to get off," so far as "poking fun" at Colored people is concerned. Said Mr. White: "At Westfield, N. J., a Colored golf club has been established and a nine-hole course laid out. A Colored colony there seems to warrant the golf course. The item that this course is laid out will cause a million giggles to sizzle across the country. Cartoonists will make funny pictures of it. Vaudeville artists will do sketches about it. Something exquisitely funny seems to excite the white race when it sees the Colored race doing things which are ordinary parts of the day's work and play to the white people. It is as though the elephant should drive an auto or a horse play the piano. "The reason for this visibility of the white man at the black man's human activities is oblivious, and it is no credit to the white man. He thinks it funny to see the black man doing things that normal human beings do, because the white man does not think of his darkskinned fellow traveler on the planet as a human companion. The white man considers any Colored man—black, brown, red, yellow or maroon—as an animal. The anthropological conceit of the white man is ponderous, unbelievable, vastly amusing to the Gods. "Why should not the black man play golf if his economic status gives him leisure for golf? Why should he not have a motor car and a country house if he can afford it? Why giggle at the normal activities or men whose skins differ from our own? Something of the same psychological reason is behind the fact that we middle-class people make merry over the fact that the worker in the mines or shops or furnaces wears a silk shirt or rents a house with a bath or rides to work in a car. Why shouldn't he? Is he an elephant doing stunts? Is he a horse playing the piano? What's the joke if he develops the same desires and aspirations that we do? And who in God's name are we, anyway?

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION FIRST IN SERVICE TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP A PROPOS of the principle at issue in the question of mixed bouts, The Monitor would respectfully call attention to the spirit of true sportsmanship which was shown at the Elks' recent picnic for boys in the athletic contests. There were certain qualifications laid down for all entrants in the respective events. Any boy who could meet those qualifications was permitted to enter. In every event boys of all nationalities entered. It happened that several colored boys captured prizes. They proved themselves to be the best athletes in certain events. Many white boys won prizes too as was to be expected in certain events outclassing their colored competitors. It was simply a case of the best runner or jumper as the case might be. There was no feeling but that of emulation. The spectators enjoyed it as much as the boys. Had white boys only been permitted to compete with white boys and colored boys with colored boys it would not have been a fair test of the athletic ability of the boys of Omaha. It would simply have been a contest between those respective groups, that's all. But as it was it was a fair field, open to all competitors, and the best athlete won, whether he was of Irish, German, Italian, Hebrew, African or any other abstraction entering into the composition of a representative American community, such as Omaha is. That was true sportsmanship. THE boxing commissioner of Nebraska is absolutely wrong and is exceeding his authority in his ruling on mixed bouts in Nebraska. There is nothing in the law which authorizes him to rule that mixed bouts shall not be permitted in this state. They have been hitherto and no evil has resulted therefrom. True sportsmanship bars no competitor. Some states of the North have lately been following the ruling of the South forbidding colored athletes to compete with white, and the boxing commission of Nebraska is falling for this same small business. The inconsistency of this position is readily apparent to any individual with even the brains of a gnat, when one considers that, for example, Jack Taylor, Omaha boxer, has just gone to Michigan City, to box with and train Jack Dempsey, but should Taylor or "Bearcat" Wright, another local boxer, desire to pull off a boxing bout in Nebraska, with some white boxer, by the ruling of our sapient boxing commission, the event would be forbidden and declared unlawful. A boxing bout in this state between boxers of different racial groups IS NOT UNLAWFUL. If boxing bouts between whites and whites, red and red, yellow and wellow, black and black are lawful and permissible then mixed bouts are equally lawful and permissible. The Monitor would like to see a test case made of the absurd ruling of Nebraskas boxing commission.

It has always been a point of honor with us, in conformity with the ethics of journalism, to give credit to our contemporaries for any special articles or editorials appearing therein which we have given place in our columns.

BE CONSISTENT, JUDGE LAST week, Judge Charles Leslie, sentenced three colored boys sixteen years of age to from three to five years in the penitentiary for highway robbery. One of the boys, Clarence Watts, was within a few days of being sixteen. According to newspaper reports, Judge Leslie, in sentencing these young highwaymen, stated that they were too bad to be sent to the State Reformatory, and for that reason he would sentence them to the penitentiary. The law allows the sentence, no doubt. That there are entirely too many holdups in Omaha and coddling of criminals there can be no question. That many of these holdups are staged by mere boys in their teens is a regrettable fact. Drastic measures to suppress crime are imperative. And yet we are wondering if like punishment will be meted out to white highwaymen of the same age as has been measured to these misguided and foolish colored youth. There is no excuse for their crime and we do not consider their punishment excessive. Judge Leslie is a broad-minded and fair-minded judge. The Montor simply expects him to be and believes he will be consistent in meting out deserved punishment to all youthful offenders, irrespective of their racial affinity who like these three boys start out on a desperado's career and believe they are doing something smart. COMPETITION. COMPETITION in any line stimulates one to do his best. One need never fear competition, so long as he is doing his level best, and plays the game fair. He will be sure to win out in the long run. One gains nothing, but in the end loses, by misrepresentation of competitors either by mender or by direct falsification. Any one who believes he can build up himself PERMANENTLY by pulling someone else down makes a serious mistake. BAUM & RUBEN GROCERIES and MEATS FREE DELIVERY 1302 North 24th St. Tel. Webster 4378 We Se SKINNER'S the highest grade Macaroni, Spaghetti and Egg Noodles --- Education is always the true measure of progress. From this viewpoint advancement of the Negroes has been even greater than from the standpoint of economics. In 1866 90 per cent of the colored population was illiterate; in 1919 only 20 per cent was illiterate, a gain of 70 per cent in literacy in fifty years. At this rate of improvement it is but a question of little time when there will be practically no illiteracy among Negroes in America. Negro education is by no means limited to grammar school courses, but proportionately measures up to the higher standards of academic, vocational and professional learning. When they were liberated the Negroes had only 15 colleges and normal schools; now they have 50. Then they had 100,000 students in public schools; now they have 1,800,000. In all schools 50 years ago, there were about 600 Negro teachers; now there are 38,000. The value of property for higher education was then about $60,000; now such property owned by Negroes is worth $22,000,000. The annual expenditure then for Negro education was about $700,000; now it is about $15,000,000. Of these expenditures the Negroes raised, then, about $80,000; they raise annually now about $1,700,000. The "separate school" system in the South which forbids blacks and whites attending the same schools, colleges, universities, etc., while a hardshipup on the Negroes, has not been without its distinct advantage to the colored race, in the long run. Were the Negroes in the South to be educated at all, they were forced to the necessity of providing the means of their own education; at least, it was necessary for them to have separate schools. While the per capita part of the public school funds was available for the Negro schools, and while distinguished individuals of the white race were personally interested in Negro education, it was up to the colored people to demonstrate their ability to "educate" and to become "educated" or else their aspiration to maintain and enlarge the means of their education in the South was doomed to disappointment. How well they have succeeded, the facts and figures, the distinguished attainment of scholarship by many Negro individual and the general average of information and intelligence among Negroes in the South, give emphatic testimony. The high standing of Negro schools, colleges and universities in the South is unquestioned in the educational circles of the Nation. Of course, the Negroet with gratitude acknowledge the help they have received from their white friends. The name of the late General Clinton D. Fiske, together with that of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the one who founded the great Fiske University at Nashville, Tenn., and the other who has done and is doing so much to aid Negro education in the South, have become household words throughout the land. The names of many others, did space permit, might be mentioned for conspicuous aid to Negro education. This fifty years of progress has demonstrated that Negro education is not an experiment. There is no longer any question of the Negro, as a class, being able to master and successfully apply the arts and sciences; creative and imaginative, gifted in expression and fervent n spirit, he excels in music, poetry and oratory. Estimating future possibilities by past achievements in Negro education, within another fifty years, in intellectual attainment and educational culture, this strain of blood in America will be second to no other.
