LIFTING LIFTING $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy GRA DYER BILL PLACED ON SENATE CALENDAR; CERTAIN OF PASSAGE Bonus Bill and Other Legislation Well Out of the Way—Anti- Lynching Measure to Be Given Attention JAMES W. JOHNSON ON JOB Vigilant and Energetic Secretary of the National Association Cuts Short His Vacation to Push Action. New York, Sept. 8—The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was definitely placed on the Senate calendar for debate and vote at the present session of Congress, this action being taken by the Senate Steering Committee on Wednesday, August 30, according to announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. When it was learned that the Bonus Bill would be passed so soon after being taken up in the Senate, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P, was recalled from his vacation and went immediately to Washington. There he worked hard, although suffering from an attack of lagripe. He had numerous conferences with republican leaders in the Senate, including Snators Curtis of Kansas; Willis, of Ohio; McCormick, of Illinois; Calder, of New York; Shortridge, of California; and several others. As a result of the work done, and particularly because of the pressure which has been brought to bear on individual senators, the Dyer bill was definitely placed on the calendar, which means that it will be brought up for debate and vote within the next few weeks. In a letter to the national office written at. Washington, Mr. Johnson states that extensive and intensive work will need to be done during the next few weeks that the bill may be voted on and passed. Pressure such as has never been used before must be used. This action of the Steering Committee is the last step before debate and a vote and but one more step, that of actual passage, remains between the present time and the actual signing of the bill by President Harding which will make it a law. Telegraph, write, petition your Senators. Do everything you can in every possible way to show the Senate that the bill must be passed. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 5233 So, 25th St. Market 3475. O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Sunday marked another epoch in the history of our church. We had a gracious quarterly meeting. We had with us all day an intelligent and progressive class of people, who entered heartily into the spirit of the meeting. P. E. Divers was at his best and gave us two great messages. Rev. W. C. Williams brought us a strong message at 3 p. m. full of thought and logic. We had several visitors from Lincoln in our audience, Mrs. Anna Burckhardt, Mr. W. A. Johnson and Mrs. Laura Johnson, and many strangers from Council Bluffs and other places. Sunday will be the closing of this year's conference work. We trust to have a great closing. We are expecting to see many of our friends out on this occasion. Also strangers are welcome to all of our services. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON Despite the heat there was a large attendance, last Sunday morning at both the Sunday School and the 11 o'clock service, which was taken by the Lay Reader, George H. W. Bullock, in the absence of the priest, who took the early and late eucharist and preached at St. Paul's Church, Council Bluffs. There will be the usual services next Sunday conducted by the pastor, holy communion 7:30 a. m., Church school at 10, sung Eucharist with sermon at 11, evening prayer at 8. The various societies and auxiliaries will resume their activities next week. BURNED AT STAKE Lambert, Miss., Sept. 8.—(The Associated Negro Press.)—John Steelman, thirty-five-year-old farm hand, was burned at the stake near here by a torch applied by Mrs. Druce White, the wife of a planter, whom he is said to have attempted to assault. THE MONITOR MASONS PASS STRONG RESOLUTIONS ENDORSING ANTI-LYNCHING BILL High Officials of Order at International Conference Ask Senate to Pass the Measure Without Delay. New York, Sept. 8—At the International Conference of the Grand Masters, Past Grand Masters, Grand Secretaries, etc., Prince Hall Masons of the United States representing some 150,000 Masons, at their meeting in Washington, D. C., last month, passed strong resolutions calling on the United States Senate to pass without delay the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to "correct certain abuses and barbarous treatment meted out to the citizens of the Republic", according to an announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The resolutions called upon the Senate to take this step not only to end the disgrace of mob violence but to remove this blot from the name of America, because in foreign countries the belief is common that the United States government is indifferent to punish the evil doers and we regret that the reports on lynching will tend to lower the respect and esteem which the nation enjoys." RICHARD HENRY BOYD, NOTED PUBLISHER, DIES AT NASHVILLE Prominent Minister and Founder of National Baptist Publishing House Answers Last Summons. WAS AN OUTSTANDING FIGURE Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 8.—Richard Henry Boyd, ager 74, founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which furnishes secular literature for churches all over the country, died here Wednesday night, August 31. The news of his death came as a shock to the thousands of people with whom he came in contact. Regarded as the leading publisher of the south, Dr. Boyd rose from a place of obscurity wholly through his own tireless efforts to achieve. Born a slave in Mississippi on March, 15, 1832, and served through the Civil War with the men of the family that owned him. Unable to read or write at the age of 21, he assumed leadership among his denomination by hard study and application. Dr. Boyd at the time of his death published a daily paper in Nashville. DR. R. A.

RACE LEARNING VALUE OF SYSTEMATIC SAVING Trend of Deposits and Savings of Negro Workers, as Indicated by Reports from Typical Industrial and Business Centers. Washington, D. C., Sept. 8—An increase of 12.44 per cent in the number of savings bank depositors among Negro workers is indicated for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922, as compared with the same period of 1921, according to conclusions which the Department of Labor has drawn from reports submitted by representative savings institutions in thirteen states and he Disrict of Columbia, all of which are located in typical industrial and business centers of Negro population. During the same period the total savings of Negro depositors of the same institutions as indicated as having decreased 2.376 per cent. The comparison, however, is altogether favorable in view of the industrial depression and its attendant unemployment situation. A closer comparison of the two periods shows that the per capita deposit of Negro savings bank patrons of $95.63, on June 30, 1921, was reduced to $83.03 by June 30, 1922, a per capita withdrawal of $12.60, or $1.05 per month. The savings banks submitting reports are located in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D. C., and are believed to portray results which are illustrative of the entire country. The conclusions are derived from basic figures showing 49,871 Negro depositors with holdings of $4,769,323 on June 30, 1921, as compared with 56,077 depositors and $4,655,987 on June 30, 1922, a difference of $113,336. The survey was conducted by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation. MAIDS AND PAGES PICNIC The Maids and Pages of Carnation Tent No. 27 were given their annual picnic at Miller Park, Thursday, August 31. The children met at the Taborian Hall and were taken out in motor trucks. Sixty-eight children were in attendance and expressed themselves as having the time of their lives. After enjoying themselves with the many amusements of the park, running races and playing ball, the children were seated at a long table where they were served with sandwiches, ice cream and cake and punch by the Queen Mother, Dt. Eva Brown, who was assisted by Dtrs, Mary Jenkins, Bessie Dudley and Mary Pitts, and Mrs. Lena Davis and Grandma Wilson. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 8, 1922 AMERICANS SPREADING ANTI-NEGRO PROPGANDA THROUGHOUT EUROPE New York Sept. 8. "Wherever a certain class of American tourists go in Europe they continually and industriously endeavor to convince Europeans that the Negro in the United States is ignorant, criminal, vicious, and above all a rapist, ever ready to criminally assault white women, and restrained only by sheer brute force in the form of lynching," was the statement made lately by Arthur T. Long, Principal of a large public school in Indianapolis, Ind., who has just returned after spending more than two months in France, Germany Italy and Switzerland, according to announcement by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "They never tell of the decent, self-respecting, progressive colored people," Mr. Long continued, "the best that they ever say is usually some story about a 'good darky' or a 'coon.' Unfortunately, this work has been carried on so extensively that it is being felt in countries where a few years ago there was no thought of race prejudice. Americans, spending lavishly, are naturally catered to by French, German and other merchants and business men. Thus economic pressure is making people free from prejudice bow to American racial bitterness." "On the other hand, there seems to me to be considerable knowledge in Europe of the facts about the race problem in America. Largely due to the attempt of America to assume the moral leadership of the world as well as the financial mastery, Europeans consider the race question in America and the burning alive of human beings to be the acid test of the genuineness of American moral ideals. Europe wants to know the real facts about the race problem in America, and it is regretted that there seems to be no adequate means at present of getting the real truth before Europe. "All Americans who go to Europe can be divided, with only a few exceptions, into two classes. One of these is that group I have already spoken of—those who deliberately spread lies about the Negro. The other class is composed of those who say nothing about the problem. Very few white Americans ever take the time or the trouble to tell the truth, even if they themselves know it. It is a sad but true fact, that in all the time I was in Europe, the only really good things said about the Negro, were said by Englishmen and Frenchmen. Mr. Long was asked about the truth of the charges made in the United States Senate on August 31st by Sentor Hitchock of Nebraska, that French colored troops were commit- STRONG SOUTH OMAHA COLORED REPUBLICAN CLUB ORGANIZED A number of colored voters who are interested in the political affairs of the city, met at Allen Chapel and planned an organization, which when perfected will be a strong factor in the political affairs of the city, as there are a large number of colored voters who live in South Omaha, many of whom own their own homes and pay taxes, who should have some recognition from the city. All members of the race, both men and women, who are interested in this work will please meet at Allen Chapel, 5233 South 25th street, Tuesday, Sept. 12, at which time we hope to perfect the organization and put the machinery in working order for the fall campaign. Officers elected were: President, Rev. F. Oliver; Vice President, Frank Young; Treasurer, F. Tinker; Secretary, E. McGill; Corresponding Secretary, O. J. Burckhardt. ting excesses on German women in the occupied zones. He replied: "I was in Germany two weeks and during that time, though I was in Mayence where French troops are quartered, as well as at Cologne where the British troops are stationed and at Coblenz where the American forces are, I never heard one word of any such charges. It does seem to me that if there had been the slightest grounds for such charges I would at least have gotten an inkling of it. The real reason is easy to understand. The Germans naturally want the occupation forces removed. They are wise enough to know that America's blind spot is her race prejudice, and that an appeal to that race prejudice is the most potent argument they can make to Americans, especially when that appeal is made to the tune of a charge that black men are raping white women." "Perhaps one of the most interesting things I observed," Mr. Long continued, "was the fact that Americans as soon as the ship left American soil seem to feel that the ban of color was lifted and restrictions were removed. People who would not think of treating colored people decently in America for fear of exciting comment or scorn, actually became friendly and acted like human beings. My conclusion is that the atmosphere of America is conducive to race-hatred and Negro baiting—that the so-called race prejudice is not inherent at all but is artificially created and maintained as a sort of a fetish in the United States." Mr. Long covered a great deal of territory while abroad and tells most interestingly the story of his experiences. Vol. VIII—No. 10 Whole Number 374 KLUXIES' GRUESOME WARNING TO FEARLESS NEW YORK EDITOR Philip Randolph Sent Severed Hand of Negro Around Which a Threatening Letter Is Wrapped. New York, Sept. 6—A threatening letter, signed "K. K. K.", wrapped about the inexpertly amputated left hand of a Negro, was received through the mail yesterday by Philip Randolph, publisher of the Messenger, a magazine devoted to the problems of the race and one of the most prominent Negroes in New York. The letter accused Randolph of not being in accord with his people and was signed "K. K. K." The stand the magazine had taken in opposing Marcus Garvey and declaring him to be hobnobbing with the Ku Klux Klan was the supposed grievance that led to the sending of the letter and the package. LARGE BEQUEST TO OBERLIN COLLEGE BENEFIT OE RAGE Successful Business Man Makes Wise Provision for Education of Deserving Colored Youth A BENEFACTION FAR-SIGHTED Sandusky, Ohio, Sept. 8.—Practically all of the $100,000 estate of the late Attorney James M. French, Afro-American business here, is to be invested for the benefit of Oberlin college, according to his will, just admitted to probate here. The income for fifty years is to be given to the trustees of the college for the benefit of deserving Afro-American students to aid them in securing an education. At the end of fifty years, the principal is also to be used for the purpose specified. If Oberlin college does not accept the bequest, then Wilberforce college is to be given the grant. Mr. French left a number of cousins, nearest relatives, some in Cleveland. ENTERTAIN FOR VISITORS Mrs. Ollie Madison, Mrs. C. H. Harris and Mrs. C. C. Trent entertained at breakfast at Elmwood Park Tuesday morning, August 29, complimentary to Mrs. F. E. Hall of Topeka, Kansas, house guest of Mrs. Harris, 2912 Grant Street, and Miss Trent of Chicago, who is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. C. C. Trent. Covers were laid for twenty-three. CHURCH DINNER A SUCCESS Twenty-fourth street and Patrick avenue was a busy corner last Monday afternoon and evening. Scores of hungry people congregated there; but they were not long hungry. The ladies of Bethel M. E. church, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Ella Row Jackson, assisted by an efficient corps of helpers, served an excellent dinner. E. G. Scott, whose competency in that line is well known, acted as head waiter. The dinner was a decided success. N. A. A. C. P. HOLDS MEETING The N. A. A. C. P. met last Sunday afternoon at Freestone Baptist church, with Henry W. Black presiding. A. G. Oglesby was elected as assistant secretary. Communications from national headquarters advising progress on the Dyer bill and urging unabated activity upon the part of all members until the measure is passed were read and discussed. The membership drive is still on. The meeting next Sunday afternoon will be at the Interdenominational church at Twenty-sixth and Franklin streets. BISHOP CLEVES FAILED TO ARRIVE FOR SERVICES While there was much disappointment over the failure of Bishop Cleves of St. Louis to be present last Sunday at the opening services of the Cleve C. M. E. church in their new building at Twenty-fifth and Decatur streets, it did not abate the joy of Rev. S. M. Graves and his congregation in being able to worship in their attractive new home. Good congregations and liberal offerings marked the day. Bishop Cleves, who was unavoidably detained, will be here later in the month. GROWING THANK YOU No. 10 Whole Number 374 CTS GEORGIA GRAND JURY BRINGS INDICTMENT AGAINST LYNCHERS Five Prominent White Citizens Are Promptly Indicted for the Lynching of John (Cocky) Glover in Monroe County. BONDS GIVEN BY ACCUSED Mobbers Overpowered Sheriffs to Lynch Prisoner—National Association for Advancement of Colored People Starts Probe New York, Sept. 1.—Five prominent white men of Macon, Ga., have been indicted for lynching John (Cocky) Glover recently by the Bibb County Grand Jury, according to announcement made here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Glover was lynched in Monroe County, Ga., after he had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Walter C. Byrd who was attempting to place Glover under arrest. The five men indicted are among the most prominent men in Macon. Herbert Block, one of them, is manager of the Hotel Demsey, the leading hotel in Macon. H. L. McSwain, another of the men indicted is president of the Southern Co-Operative Fire Insurance Co. N. Unice is a merchant and Guy Jones is a city fireman. The fifth man indicted was unnamed as he had not been located, having fled from town. Bond was set at amounts ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Other indictments are expected to follow. The indictments charging rioting read in part: "Block, McSwain, Unice and the other party, did unlawfully and with force and arms together with persons unknown to the grand jury do a certain unlawful acts of violence to wit: take from William Branan, a deputy sheriff, and from J. L. Mullally, a deputy sheriff, a certain prisoner lawfully in charge of these officers, John Glover alias Cocky Glover, for the purpose of mobbing and lynching Glover, and did in a violent and tumultuous manner, after taking Glover in charge transport him across the line between Monroe and Bibb counties for the purpose of lynching and killing Glover." The N. A. A. C. P. is carefully following these indictments to see if trials and convictions follow, or if the indictments are not to be pressed as has been the custom in the few cases where lynchers have been indicted in Southern States. THE ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-Sixth and Seward Streets Russell Taylor, Pastor As the days are getting shorter and the nights longer and cooler let us give ourselves over to more serious consideration of our Christian duties.

THE ASSOCIATED MILLO PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE DEMAGOGIC TACTICS IT is to be regretted that a man IT is to be regretted that a man of the intellectual ability and high character of Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock should be guilty of demagogic tactics to win the German vote. His victorious speech, delivered in the Senate last week, urging that the American government bring influence to bear upon France to have her withdraw her African troops from the Rhine, is demagogic through and through, having no other purpose than to placate and regain, if possible, the German vote in Nebraska in his struggle for re-election. As a stunner admirer of Senator Hitchcock, we regret more keenly than we can express, to see him thus assume the role of the demagogue. True to the role he is playing he makes an adroit appeal to race prejudice by accusing black men of sex crimes against white women, quoting in defense of his unproven accusation, "reports of American travelers and letters from American tourists," and from a document of ancient vintage and more doubtful veracity. Assuming for the sake of argument that these alleged reports and rumors are proof as strong as Holy Writ and that the statistics quoted by Senator Hitchcock are accurate, "the black African troops of France, whether Negroes or Sengese," to quote the Senator's rythmic phraseology, show a pretty high standard of sex-morality. With several thousand quartered in Germany the report says there have been, presumably within a year, perhaps a longer period, for Senator Hitchcock is rather vague as to the time embraced, "forty cases of attempted assault; seventy cases of accomplished assault; twenty cases of sexual misdemeanor of various other kinds, and seven cases of crimes against boys." We regret to say that if Senator Hitchcock will compare Nebraska's record for alleged crimes of this nenous nature for a like period with that of the black colonial French troops in Germany, he will not feel at all flattered by the comparison. We do not pretend to say that sexcrimes are not found among black troops, as well as among white troops, but in the face of indubitable evidence which forces itself upon the impartial observer, we are tired of the ammable libel, which demagogues delight to huckster that a black skin is prima facie evidence of an irreprotable animal propensity which makes its possessor dangerous to a civilized community. It is against this propaganda to which Senator Hitchcock has lent his influence that we protest. Senator Hitchcock has always received a good number of votes from the colored people of this state, despite his party affiliations. With the growing political independence of our people there is no doubt that but he would have received much more favorable consideration than hitherto, but his apparent willingness to adopt Vardaman methods with "the black African troops of France, whether Negroes or Sengelese" as the pawn, has driven from him any support he hight have received from our group in Nebraska. He wants the German vote and is playing for it. He may get it, but Germans are pretty observing people. Like Hamlet, they know a hawk from a handsaw. CHILDREN IN SCHOOL TWENTY-NINE Thousand chil TWENTY-NINE Thousand children it is said entered the Omaha schools Tuesday. What a vast army! What wonderful potential ties do they represent! This vast army is to be trained for useful citizenship. It is important that the men and women who are in charge of these children shall represent the wisest, fairest and broadest-minded citizenship. In the light of this fact our people ought to be interested in electing to the State and County Superintendency men of this type. Do not think that the office of State or of County Superintendent is unimportant. It is most important. The inception, direction and adminis- naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person real protection of the laws. tration of a wise and liberal educational policy for the children of all citizens is vital. THERE are very strong indications that nationally the race vote is going to make itself felt as never before. The well organized work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with its half million membership has wielded an influence that many doubting Thomases deemed impossible. The slogan "Stand by those who are right on the Dyer Bill," has been a powerful factor in primary elections in many communities. Hiram Johnson of California received practically the unanimous vote of our people in California. Intelligent organization and united action count. Our vote is becoming more intelligent, independent and united year by year. Party lines sit lightly upon us. We are demanding recognition and service and are learning to throw our vote where we can receive these. STRIKES bring at least temporary advantages to the Negro industrially which ought to become permanent. They give him an opportunity to do work, from the necessity of the case, which ordinarily the employer says he cannot do without even giving him a chance to try. Funny, isn't it? No, not funny, but tragic, to simply look at a man and conclude he cannot do a thing without giving him a trial. We have mechanics who only need a chance. In a Minneapolis railway shop there was a colored helper. In fact he was a skilled mechanic, but his employers would not believe him. They would take him as a heper. Something went wrong with the machinery. The helper fixed it. Astonishment reigned. Something else went wrong. The foreman asked, "Can you fix it?" "Yes," said the helper, and he did. He has been promoted. When the strike ends will this mechanic who has demonstrated what he can do be retained? He ought to be, but will he? The strike has brought him temporary advantages, will they be permanent so long as he makes good? LETTER FROM OUR READERS Omaha, Neb., Sept. 4, 1922. Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor "The Monitor", 1119 North 21st Street, We the members of the Bachelor Benedict Club hereby wish to call your attention to the dance to be given at the Krug park dance pavilion, September 11th and 12th, under white management as an emancipation celebration. It has become decidedly necessary that we take some action in this matter on account of all colored organizations having been refused the privilege of managing this dance. It is not our purpose to attack the emancipation celebration but to call your attention to the fact that the dance concession has been let to a white man. Therefore, as a body we do not endorse such action and ask you and your friends to support us by not attening this dance. very truly yours, BACHELOR BENEDICT CLUB R. C. Long, President, Leroy A.

A fire company, composed entirely of colored firemen, has been organized to succeed the white company, whose work, it is reported, has not been of the best. WHITE HAS CALL FOR THE SEASON Vogue for the Color Is More Pronounced Than Ever Before; It Is a Fad. FOR GOWNS, COATS AND HATS Snowy Attire is in Evidence With All Kinds of Women's Wear—Fashion Draws the O. K. of Paris Society. Every one has a natural leaning toward white when summer comes on. But the vogue, asserts a fashion writer in the New York Times, for that color this year is much more than a natural tendency. It is a passion. It is a fad. It is a necessity, indeed, if you wish to be classed at all in the circles of smartly dressed women. And who does not, pray tell? This summer the evening dresses are white the afternoon dresses are white the morning dresses are white. 1 White Suit of Homespun, Marmot Trimming on Collar and Cuffs. the suits are white, the coats are white, the capes are white. There is no article of attire that escapes the general mode. And really there are more stunning things being done in white than have been made in all the other colors put together. Travelers returning from Paris bring back the news that everything is white there, too. One society woman an drew from her trunk of Parisian clothes no less than four dresses of all white. "Well," she said, "what else could I do? They had nothing but white, and the French designers were out to despise you if you dared to choose anything else in the way of color." When you are stricken with the pervading tendency of white you will find all sorts of compensation, for there are beautiful things to be had in that medium. And, it seems, that the color, if it may be called a color, has stepped away from the field of suitability only for certain types. Indeed, there is about it an adaptability to all types of which you would hardly have suspected it. The Color Problem. There is much value in the way that white is handled and the question is whether to relieve it with a touch of black or color or whether to leave it with nothing but its own blank surface to make it notable. Then there is the problem of the quality of material, for there is all the difference in the world between the thick, woolly white and the thin, silky white. One type can stand one and another type looks well in nothing but the other. It is on this ground that you must make your decision, and to that end it is necessary to study yourself from an entirely new angle and learn just what you can stand in the way of white and just what will throw you into the background, as it were. An evening dress of white which, though this particular model came from Paris, illustrates a fashion which is most successful and popular right here. It is made of white moire and this particular model has its edges and its bouffant side drapery faced with cloth of silver. There are a stiffness and a pertness about the draping of this heavy silk which are entirely new and which have reached a rare degree of smartness. And when it is done in white it is most particularly effective. One cannot make a mistake by choosing a dress of this character. And, if one should live to regret the day of purchase, there is always the dye shop, which will transform it for you in the twinkling of an eye, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, at the end of six weeks. The white suit has reached the acme of its expression and, for city or country wear, it is the thing of the moment. The thrilling thing is to see how many different styles are applicable to white and how many varying materials adapt themselves to the PROF. KERLIN ACCEPTS NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 8. Professor Robert T. Kerlin whose open letter of protest addressed to the governor of Arkansas against the execution of the twelve colored men convicted in connection with the Phillips county riots of October, 1919, led to his dismissal from the Virginia Military Institute, has recently accepted the headship of the department of English at the State Normal School at West Chester, Pa. THE MONITOR Rube Bernstein, produced of the musical burlesque coming to the Gayetey theatre Sunday matinee at 3:00 for the usual two daily performances, has hit upon a fruitful topic for funmaking in the "flappers"—that peculiar species of young girlhood that has kept tongues wagging, cartoonists busy and paragraphers writing for many months. Bernstein's "Broadway Flappers" will, it is declared, get every ounce of fun of the foibles of the flapper as we know her and as the lampoonist would make her. From her bobbed hair to her rubber-tired shoes the flapper will be pictured and paraphrased in numerous comedy scenes. "The Flappers Review", opening burletta in a show of specialties, burlesque and scenic attractiveness, will parade flappers of every kind in a panorama of comic incidents. It is said that Walter Brooks, who produced the ensembles and dance numbers, has devised many novelty incidents for both the first-part and the after-piece, "Finale Hoppers on Trial". Entertainment matters will return to normalcy during the interval of vaudeville that separates the buffonery of the two-art musical portions when six specialties will enliven further a fast-moving melange of color and cavortings. Jack Hunt, that seen with the "Bathing Beauties", is the featured actor in burlesque and vaudeville interludes. Hunt is a tramp comedian and in getting fun out of the occasion will be assisted by Clyde Bates, character comedian; Major Johnson, a midget entertainer; Jimmie Hamilton, leading man; Victor Kaplan, light comedian, and Aaron and Kelly, featured steppers in varied styles of dance who created a positive furor on Broadway all summer in the all-colored musical show, "The Plantation Revue". Principal actresses in support of Mae Dix, the featured soubrette, who, incidentally was last season prominent in Follies of the Day, will be Rose Ford, prima donna; Vinnie Phillips, leading woman; Shirley Mallette, ingenuue, and the Gilbert Sisters, acrobatic dancers. Most of these ladies, besides contributing effective specialities, will be called upon to lead the cohorts of the ballet in dancing numbers or musical scenes. The management promises a wealth of special scenery and some dazzling effects in lightning and staging the numbers and in producing the burlesque. It is said that the costuming of principals and chorus will also disclose some eye-filling combinations. Saturday night the curtain rises at 8:00. NATIONAL COLORED LEAGUE TEAM TO PLAY IN OMAHA Omahans will have a chance soon to see one of the fastest colored teams in the baseball world. The Kansas City Monarchs are known as such and they are scheduled to play here Sept. 16th and 17th against the South Omaha Merchants and the Townsend Sporting Co. The Monarchs are members of the National Colored League, an organization including teams from Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati Pittsburg and Cleveland. Most of the members of this club play winter ball in California, where they play clubs composed of major league stars. Many of the players have batting averages which would be envied by even the best men of the major leagues. Bullet Rogan and Rube Currie share the pitching honors. They will be supported by a group of other nationally known players. Negroes own twenty-five million acres of land, an area equal to that of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. There are more than 500 colleges and normal schools and nearly forty-three thousand Negro churches. There are thirty-eight or more insurance companies operated by Negroes. Eight of these companies are located in the state of Georgia. The property of Negroes in Georgia is assessed at more than $47,000,000. These Negroes pay taxes on 1,664,368 acres of land. Negroes bought more liberty bonds in proportion to their wealth than any other element of American citizenship. The Bureau of Education reports, that while white illiterates in the United States amount to 5,500,000 and are increasing, colored illiterates have decreased from 3,150,000 in 1880 to 2,227,731 in 1910. The value of Negro church property is $85,900,000. Ex. Sen, John P. Green, a Negro, was the author of the first bill passed by any State making Labor Day a holiday. He is a practicing lawyer of Cleveland, O. The first Labor parade was held by the Knights of Labor in New York City, Sept. 5, 1882. It is now recognized as a legal holiday throughout the U. S.
