State Historical Society LIFTING - LA TOO $2.00 a Year CHURCH CONVENTION TAKES FIRM STAND AGAINST MOB RULE Southern Delegates at the National Episcopal Gathering Leaders in Condemnation of Mob Violence. Organizations Which Foster Racial and Religious Prejudices Are Fundamentally Disloyal to True Americanism. Portland, Ore., Seut. 22—Two clerical delegates from Georgia electrified the house of deputies of the General Convention of the Episcopal church last Thursday by their scathing denunciation of mob violence and the demand that the Church leave no doubt as to her firm stand against lawlessness. These eloquent deputies were Rev. Dr. C. B. Wilmer of Atlanta, chairman of the inter-racial committee of that city, and the Rev. John D. Wing of Savannah. Their position found hearty endorsement from the deputies. "Vengeance is the Lord's," said Dr. Wilmer, "Violence begets violence. It is not possible to cast out demons by Beelzebub, chief of the demons Mob rule a menace to the nation and threatens the overthrow of civilization. The man who commits a crime against another is like a man who breaks out a window pane on the top floor of a building; but the mob who lynches that man for his crime is tearing away the very foundation of that building—civilization. Every suspect is entitled to fair trial. It is undeniable that men have been tortured by mobs, who as afterwards transpired were absolutely innocent of any wrong. The Church and ministry can arouse a much needed sense of justice." Dr. Wilmer introduced resolutions in line with his ringing speech which were promptly referred to the committee on social service. Closely allied with Dr. Wilmer's speech and resolutions were those of the Rev. John D. Wing, who in scathing language denounced those so-called "patriotic" societies of masked and unknown membership, who foster racial and religious prejudices. While he mentioned no name, the resolutions presented and acted upon left no doubt as to whom the speaker and mover of the resolution had in mind. Here is the resolution: "Whereas, there have come into existence in our country since the world war certain societies whose members are secret, disguised and masked; which organizations while proclaiming loyalty to the government of the United States, in reality, by appealing to religious prejudice and racial antipathy, by preaching bigotry and intolerance and by affording opportunity for acts of violence, have pursued a course toward the overthrow of ordered society, and Whereas, in many places where a society of this nature has been introduced there have followed numerous instances where persons, without the ceremony of a trial, have been taken out by masked men, tarred and feathered, cruelly whipped and otherwise humiliated and maltreated, and others by threats and intimidations, have been driven from their homes and communities and deprived of their inalienable rights without due process of law; and Whereas, Such an organization is morally responsible for crimes of this nature committed in its name by men wearing its garb, whether they are really members thereof or not, because the very nature of the organization opens the way for any lawless element in a community to operate with but little fear of arrest and punishment; therefore, be it Resolved, By the house of deputies, the house of blishops concurring, that we solemnly condemn all secret, so-called "patriotic" societies whose masked and unknown membership capitalize bigotry and hate, foster racial and religious prejudice and encourage acts of lawlessness and mob violence. Be it further Resolved. That it is the conviction of this convention that any men or set of men, organized or unorganized, who seek to set man against man, citizen against citizen, neighbor against neighbor, race against race, or creed against creed, are enemies to society and disloyal to the fundamental ideas of America, no matter in how strident tones their claims to the possession of ulta-patriotism may be voiced. LYNCHING IN TEXAS Fremont, Texas, Sept. 22—Fearing that a jury would turn loose A. J. Johnson, twice tried on the charge of murder, led a mob to take him from the jail at Newton last Thursday and riddle his body with bullets.

BOSTON JEWS TO VIGOROUSLY FIGHT DISCRIMINATION (By the Associated Negro Press) Boston, Mass., Sept. 22—Jewish organizations throughout Greater Boston have retained counsel as a first step in what gives promise of becoming a huge fight to combat the activities of a widespread "ring" of race haters whose work has resulted in a anti-Semitic demonstrations in various communities. The latest incident in the alleged activities was the stoning of a Jewish synagogue in South Boston and the barring of a Jewish from a fashionable hotel in Winthrop, which, it is charged, was the work of "high-brows." These incidents and a number of other local demonstrations during the last few months are characterized as aftermaths of the so-called Anti-Semitic utterances made at Harvard which attracted attention throughout the country. Harvard definitely repudiated any anti-Jewish policy in its matriculation program. RE-ELECTED TO HEAD KNIGHTS OF FREEDOM McGehee, Ark., Sept. 22—Dr. V. M.

Cox endowment treasurer. THE GREEN DRAGON, HEADEN AUTO, IS DRAWING ATTENTION Record-Breaking Car, Designed and Built by Negro, Is Viewed and Admired by Hundreds of Omaha Citizens. DEMAND EXCEEDS OUTPUT A handsome five-passenger automobile, with an apple green body and red top, rolled into the city Sunday morning from St. Joseph, Mo. Its occupants were Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Headen, Chicago, Illinois, president of the Headen Motor Company, and designer, patentee and builder of the car in which he and his cultured wife rode. From Sunday until Thursday wherever the car went it attracted attention and admiration. Whenever it stopped crowds surrounded it. Those who had the privilege of riding in it praised it for its easyriding. It took the highest hills with ease. Automobile critics and mechanical experts spoke of its many excellent features. This car is called the Green Dragon, which lowered the best record from Chicago to St. Louis by twenty-nine minutes and the record between Chicago and Kansas City. Mr. Headen is going to lower the best record between Chicago and New York soon. The car in all its parts was in his own factory at 4027-31 Wabash Ave., Chicago, where he at present has thirty employees. The present capacity of the factory is five cars a week, which capacity will be enlarged as funds allow to meet the rapidly growing demand for Headen cars. Orders for cars will tax the present capacity of the factory for several months. The Headen Motor Company is capitalized at a half million dollars and is selling shares at $2.00 per share. Mr. W. H. Barrett, manager of the company, is spending the week in Omaha. An interesting meeting was held at the North End "Y" Tuesday night where several prominent citizens, men and women, listened to interesting addresses from Mr. Barrett, Mr. Headen and Mr. Harper, attorney for the company. Several persons subscribed for stock in the enterprise. For news when it is news, you must read the Monitor. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

Establishment. SOME FACTS ABOUT HIM (By E. B. Goodman) John Wanamaker is the prince merchant of America today and is not a Negro. D. Macon Webster is the leading appraisal attorney in the country today and he is a Negro. All the difficult problems which Wanamaker as an importer has are turned over to Webster. Now that you have some idea of the man to be discussed, permit me to give you a pen and ink sketch of the man—physical. Dorsey Macon Webster stands six foot high, is as slender as a mountain pine and as hardy. The first time I talked with him and walked with him, the young women of Fifth Avenue smiled to Webster and looked shocked as they noticed me at his side. I am black beside him. Then again there never was a better dressed man than Dorsey. I do not mean a loud dresser, one who puts on pink socks to match a pink tie, wears black and white shoes to match a pepper and salt suit, nor struts an elongated cane to announce that the jockey is coming. Webster is not that kind of a dresser. He is a faultless dresser. From head to foot he is clean, inside and outside. Not only what he showed, but what he was and felt, and thought within. His soft hat was not rakishly tilted to one side. His collar was clean and his shirt was of good linen. His suit was of the shade best calculated to protect his body against the weather. That is what clothes are intended for. No jewelry adorned his long, delicate fingers. The only jewels he wore consisted of a watch and chain, very thin. He affected spats late in the fall in order to keep his ankles warm. But otherwise you could not hear him coming because of the loudness of his attire. He attracted every one's attention the moment he opened his mouth to speak. Pearly wisdom dropped from his lips. Learning properly spiced with humor gave his thoughts a human grip such as was characteristic of Abraham Lincoln. Courtesy was not a veneer but a part of his bone and tissue, and his finest sarcasm brought the smile to the lip of his bitterest legal opponent, it was so delicate, so refined, so apt, and never aimed low. Like all young lawyers in New York, Webster first was a clerk. Gradually his steady qualities and superb mind won for him the respect of his fellow lawyers and judges soon became acquainted with Webster's earnestness and accuracy. It was through a jurist that Mr. Wanamaker's attention was called to the capabilities of Webster. For several months the daily life of the young man was watched, and when the reports showed clock-like regularity, Mr. Wanamaker called young Webster to him and made him a proposition. Needless to say, Webster accepted. Mr. Booker T. Washington in his book on The Negro in Business, published in 1907, reports the fact on page 288, that D. Mason Webster read a paper on "Business in Greater New York," at the largest session of the National Negro Business League, from the same platform that Mr. John Wanamaker, prince merchant and former Postmaster General of the United States, spoke. It takes the spirit of the Metropolis to bring the best together, the best wherever and in whatever it is found. THE N. A. A. C. P. HOLDS WEEKLY MEETING The N. A. A. C. P. met at Grove Methodist Episcopal church last Sunday afternoon, Henry W. Black presiding. Attorney Everett C.

Next week's meeting will be held at the North End "Y". IMPERIAL WIZARD IS ARRAIGNED FOR VIOLATION OF LAW While Delivering Speech on Law Enforcement Whiskey Is Discovered in Hand Bag Claimed by Kluxie Head. HYPOCRISY IS DISCLOSED Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 22—A writ imperial wizard pro tem of the Ku Klux Klan, was ordered Thursday by Federal Judge Baker on information furnished by District Attorney Elliott. The information charges Clarke, whose home is in Atlanta, with possession and transportation of liquor. It is charged in the information that the imperial wizard addressed a meeting at Muncie, Inc., Wednesday night on "Law Enforcement" during which, it was reported to the police, that a handbag had been stolen from Mr. Clarke's automobile. It is declared, however, that the bag fell from the automobile and burst open, revealing a quart bottle of liquor and $500 in currency. The evidence, it is declared, has been placed in charge of the prohibition officers. Clarke's bond was fixed at $2,000. REPUBLICANS PLAN ANTI-KLAN PLANK Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 22—An anti-Ku Klux Klan plank may be included in the platform of the republican party at the state convention here Thursday, according to party leaders gathering at state headquarters Wednesday night.

MEMORIAL TABLET FOR AFRICAN CHIEF IN LONDON HOSPITAL Memory of Native of the Congo Who Succumbed to Experimental Treatment to Aid Medical Science to Be Honored. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY MADE (By the Associated Negro Press) London, England, Sept. 22—A tablet is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital where an African hero Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the dread sleeping sickness. Attacked by sleeping sickness in the Congo in 1890, Mandombi suggested to an English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken every four hours until at last the germ was identified. The strain had been too much, however and Mandombi died as truly a martyr to the cause of human progress as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. It is well that the memory of such men should be perpetuated and their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement the dearest thing given them and when they give up their lives they come as near the divine as ever a man does.

Vol. VIII—No. 12 METHODISTS PLAN GREAT CONFERENCE ON PUBLIC MORALS Inter-Racial Co-operation Objective of Promoters of Conference to Be Held at Nashville in October. COGGIN IS MOVING SPIRIT One Thousand Outstanding Leaders From All Sections of Country Invited to Take Part in Meeting. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 22—(By Associated Negro Press.)—As a sign that the inter-racial relations between the races in the south are assuming a more than genial aspect, the proposed conference to be held in this city during the first week of October under the auspices of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church to determine the relation and attitude of the Negro towards the Eighteenth amendment, is being looked forward to with more than a considerable interest by the Nashville public at large. The call for the conference is signed by Bishop F. McDowell, president of the board; Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary, and by Dr. J. N. C. Coggin, promoter and director. The conference is to be welcomed by the governor of the state, the mayor of the city, the chamber of commerce, white and colored ministers' alliance and the business and educational institutions of Nashville. Membership in the conference is to consist of: 1) One thousand outstanding Negro leaders from widely separated sections of the country. 2) Representatives of prohibition, social welfare and reform organization. 3) The delegates are to be representatives of their respective organizations. They must be furnished with credentials by their appointing bodies. One of the outstanding features of the proposed conference is the indorsement given it by many of the national organizations of the colored people. The International Conference of the Masonic Fraternity, the National Negro Business League, the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the National Negro Medical Association, and more than eighteen church denominations and reform agencies have signified their intentions to send delegates to the conference. The sessions of the conference will be held in the big hall of the auditorium at Fifth near Broad street. They will continue from the third to the sixth of October inclusive. A local committee of the colored and white citizens will have charge of the arrangements and look after the comfort of the large number of delegates and visitors expected to be in attendance. Dr. Coggin deserves a world of praise for the success which has attended his efforts to make the conference a big feature of the Negro's desire to assume a leading part in all the forward and uplift movements that are just now engaging the attention and active service of the best social forces in the entire nation. It is one of the first instances when the Negro has taken the initiative in any of the general reform movements. Dr. Coggin is the central figure in this present instance and as such he has attracted the favorable consideration of the entire force of the Methodist Episcopal church who have joined with him in the organization of this interracial conference in the very heart of the south. THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON The services last Sunday morning were as usual quite well attended. The services next Sunday will be at the usual hours.

AN OFFENSIVE FEATURE THE Monitor respectfully calls the attention of the Board of Governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to the fact that there was one float in the beautiful electrical parade of Wednesday night which was exceedingly offensive to the self-respecting colored citizens of Omaha. It was the float entitled "A Bird in the Hand Is Worth Two in the Bush." The feature of this float which was offensive was the portrayal of two Negroes robbing a chicken house. The introduction of this feature in a spectacle of the magnitude of this annual pageant, which is viewed by hundreds of thousands, was unwise and entirely out of place because of its damaging slanderous psychological effect. It conveys the impression that chicken stealing is one of the common and characteristic petty crimes of the colored race, which, of course, is not true. We absolve those who planned the pageant from any deliberate intention of giving offense. We do not believe that this ever entered their minds. It was only intended for fun. But so accustomed are the white race to have fun at the expense of the black race by exploiting that they ignorantly believe to be our characteristic racial foibles and traits, that it is exceedingly difficult for most of them to refrain from such mirth-provoking but falsify from such mirth-provoking but conceive that things of this kind can be offensive. We are not super-sensitive, but because of the fact that we labor under a heavy handicap of uninformed and adverse public sentiment, which sentiment is thoughtlessly increased by ridicule and misrepresentation, that we respectfully protest all customs, features and practices which hold us as a people up to ridicule or tend to defamation. Because the float in question, in one of its features did this, The Monitor respectfully voices its protest against it, with the belief that the gentlemen in charge of the annual carnival and pageant will avoid a similar mistake in the future. ZIMMAN'S RETIREMENT HARRY B. Zimman, city commissioner, retires from public office of his own volition to take an executive position with the great Brandes Store. No doubt he will profit financially by the change, for mercantile institutions like the Brandes industries pay much larger salaries than municipalities for services rendered. In Mr. Zimman's retirement from the services of the City of Omaha, the city loses one of the ablest, most efficient, painstaking and conscientious public servants it has ever had or ever can have. As councilman and commissioner for about a quarter of a century, Mr. Zimman has rendered the citizens of Omaha invaluable service. He has a record of public duty of which he may well feel proud. While The Monitor regrets his retirement from public service, we congratulate Mr. Zimman upon what may be considered a well-earned promotion to a position in which he will earn well-merited success and appreciation. THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY AS an evidence of racial progress there has been on exhibition in Omaha for several days a handsome automobile of what engineers say is of almost faultless construction. This car was designed and built by a Negro, L. A. Headen, who is a mechanical genius and has had a most interesting career. Of him we shall write more particularly later. Our purpose now is simply to call attention to the fact that Negroes have entered seriously into the automobile industry, which vast as it is, is but still in its infancy. The Headen Motor Company of Chicago, with its own plant, is building cars of such superior character that they have broken two world's speed records. The plan is to make this a strong company financially by having members of the race everywhere buy shares in the company and thus help to build up a great im- --- INSTITUTION OF THE STATES.

Next Sunday morning, St. Paul's pulpit will be occupied by a representative of the National Committee of the Near East Relief Work. It is well for us to turn our thoughts at intervals to world-wide conditions. Our own burdens oftentimes become exceedingly light when we view the tremendous odds confronting other members of the human family. We trust that every member and friend of the church will avail himself of the opportunity to hear the speaker on this occasion. Beginning next Sunday evening the pastor will have a series of discourses on the Apocalypse, or Revelation. He has come to this decision for several reasons, one of which is that our congregation may know the orthodox view of this very much misinterpreted book. To prepare these discourses will mean a deal of diligent study and it is hoped that those for whom it is given will use diligent effort to avail themselves of what will be said on these occasions. "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believed." What was true in the Apostolic Church, the period in which these words were recorded, is true today. Instruction concerning the things of God comes through the preaching of His word. Christian Endeavor topic, "How Can We Help Foreign Mission Work?" This society meets at 7:15 P. M. The leader for Sunday evening is Mrs. M. A. Johnson.

Williams, Negro pastor, addressed 300 persons of his race at the Haddock Memorial church, Fifth and Steuben streets, Sunday afternoon. "This Klan is un-American," Rev. Mr. Williams declared. "It disregards the manadate of the constitution of the United States that all men shall be free and equal. It takes the law into its own hands, which is also against the principles upon which this nation was founded, and its purpose is to create factional and race prejudice." Rabbi Isaacson, of Mount Sinai temple, was scheduled to address the meeting, but was unable to attend. 31 Years — EST A B Liberty The Old Reliable Event PRESCE Accurately filled by EXPE Prices. Prescriptions Called f One of the songbirds with the Dave Mason show at the Gayetty twice daily all next week. "The Marion Show"—Dave Marion's pet production—is next week's card at the Gayet. Never, perhaps, has there been so gorgeous a production on a local burlesque stage—a succession of scenic marvels which dazzle the eye and compel instant realization of the fact that Mr. Marion has money. And yet, beautiful as the production is, it is not burlesque. The gathered crowds would far rather see Dave Marion, as of old, in his original cabman character, and hear the crash of the smitten comedians here and there upon the stage, than gaze on all the scenic wonders of the world. But times change, brilliant scenery replaces knockouts, and the lipstick supplants the slapstick.
