TOO RACE POPULATION ADVISED TO ELECT OWN CONGRESSMEN RACE POPULATION ADVISED TO ELECT OWN CONGRESSMEN Kelly Miller Wisely Calls Attention to Potentiality of Negro Vote in Several Large Cities of United States. SUCH ELECTIONS POSSIBLE New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago Named as Cities of Sufficient Strength to Elect "Bloe". By KELLY MILLER. (Copyright 1922 by Pittsburgh Courier Publishing Co.) Washington, D. C., November 3. The fall campaign is on. The two great political parties are facing each other in battle array. The issues that divide them are neither deep nor profound. No definite distinction has yet been stated. The party that is in, wants to stay in; the party that is out, wants to get in. The Negro stands beepuzzled between the lukewarm favor of the republicans and apprehensive fear of the democrats. The attitude of the two parties is rapidly gravitating to the lower level of the traditional southern policy. Leaders Are at Fault. It must in all candor be said that the Negro political manipulators have heretofore displayed little statesmanship. They have been content to round up the Negro vote and to receive or distribute the cold crumbs of patronage. I am describing rather than criticising our political leadership, which, under all of the difficult circumstances, has done perhaps all that it could. But the outstanding fact still remains that no constructive or comprehensive program has yet been forthcoming. Independents Have Failed. The nomination of independent Negro candidates for president, senators and governors, merely as a protest against the republican apostacy has not yet resulted in any clear advantage to the race. The vindictive spirit is more apt to hurt than to help. To contribute even indirectly to the national triumph of the democrats to spite the republicans, is a rather risky procedure in face of the well known and emphatically avowed attitude of the dominant element of the benefitted party. The average republican would rather see his democratic rival elected than yield to the threats of the Negro recalcitrants. Job Holders of Little Use. Job Holders of Basis The Negro cannot hope for much further racial advantage through appointive positions. All government appointees must be loyal to the powers that appointed them. They cannot represent the Negro where his interests run athwart the adopted policy of the administration. The chief function of "the black cabinet" is to vindicate the ways of the administration to the Negro. Appointive offices in all grades and departments of the government are Negro's just due because of his party fealty and by reason of his potentiality in every feature of governmental power. But complaisant office-holders, by the very nature of their appointment and tenure, are disqualified to demand or contend for the rights of the people. Negroes Must Run for Office. There remains but one ray of hops amidst the encircling gloom. It resides in the political opportunity of the Negro voter in the north. The race must seek elective positions which rest directly upon the suffrage of the people. Unless the Negro is able to send his own members to city councils, to state legislatures and to the congress of the United States there is little hope for further political progress. No white man, however kindly disposed, can speak for the Negro or impress his claims upon the mind and heart of the American people. He may indeed speak about the Negro, but he cannot speak for him. The black man must plead his own cause with his own voice. Whenever the white man essays to speak for the Negro his words are discounted in advance. The nation therefore pays little heed to such artificial plea. The world expects to hear the voice of the Negro, for he Negro, and by the Negro. Negro Bloc in Congress. We may judge in some slight measure the political benefit which two or three Negro congressmen might bring to the race by what a few Negro rep- THE MONITOR resentatives scattered throughout the several state legislatures have already accomplished. A Negro "bloc" in congress of several loyal, alert and sensible members would be worth more in constructive advantage than all of the appointive positions within the wildest hope of the political optimist. 120.000 in Baltimore. There were in 1920, 154,000 Negroes in New York City, 134,000 in Philadelphia, 109,000 in Chicago, and 108,000 in Baltimore. These census figures were probably underestimates. By 1924 it is reasonable to believe that the figures will have been materially increased. We may, therefore, estimate for 1924, 200,000 Negroes for New York, 150,000 for Philadelphia, 125,000 for Chicago and 129,000 for Baltimore. There will be a sufficient number in each city to demand a member of congress for the Negro group. While it is true that the Negro voters may not constitute the majority in any given congressional district, yet the regular party nomination will carry with it the white contingent by sensible interchange of political advantage. These Negroes are sufficiently congested in restricted localities to give something of the power of political solidarity. It does not require a majority in any group to command political control of a geographical unit, but merely a majority of the major party. This MOUNTAINEER DIGS UP POT OF BRITISH GOLD LONG BURIED David Jones Will Be Worth $48,000 If No Lawful Claimant to Money Found Puts in His Appearance. SPOIL OF BANDITS IS BELIEF Somerset, Ky., Nov. 3.—David Jones, a colored mountaineer, poor in a financial way all his years, today is considered a rich man by his friends and relatives who have multiplied since the discovery. Almost every one in Somerset is now claiming Jones as a relative. Not less than a dozen whites who hitherto never recognized Jones as a fellow citizen, are calling him their uncle or cousin. Jones, while digging a pit for a saw mill in the rural section of Thomas County, sank his pick into the top of a pot. He pulled out the pot. There, arranged in orderly rows, was a great mass of gold. Trembling with excitement, he hurried home and counted it. The money was in ancient English pieces. Jones did not know of what value. He called an expert from the state banking department, who assured Jones that his find was worth $48,000 in American money. Jones had thought the gold worth about $12,000. Jones was informed that if he kept the money twelve months and no one appeared who could prove ownership, it would be his. It is believed the money was secreted there by bandits over 100 years ago. This section was the lair of a gang which preyed upon the people over the state and who used this county as a hiding place. FAMOUS HOSTELERY DESTROYED BY FIRE Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 3—The Washington Hotel, a two-story brick structure in Broad Street, was ruined by fire here early Thursday morning and seven business establishments on the first floor of the building were badly damaged by smoke and water. The loss is estimated to aggregate $500,000. PASSES EXAMINATION FOR MOVIE INSPECTOR Baltimore, Mr., Nov. 3—Mrs. Sadie Murray-Dorssey, 1344 Drusid Hill avenue, was one of the six drusid who passed the state examination for moving-picture inspectors held recently at the Baltimore Business College. Nineteen girls all white, took the examination. Mrs. Dorssey ranked fourth. CLAYTON ORDERED TO D. C.

A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1922 NEW YORK EDITOR BEGINS CAMPAIGN FOR HIGH OFFICE Randolph, Brilliant Socialist Writer, Candidate for Secretary of State, Prosecutes Vigorous Flight for Position. OLD LINE PARTIES ANXIOUS Messenger Editor Is Intellectually Strong and Popular—Socialists Also Nominate Race Man for Assembly. New York, Nov. 3—Monday afternoon, October 9, A. Philip Randolph, co-editor of The Messenger magazine, left New York for Poughkeepsie where he made the initial speech of a state-wide campaign tour for the office of secretary of state. Randolph has received the highest political honor of any Negro in American politics since reconstruction. He is universally regarded as a man of unusual intelligence. There were two white men running against him for the secretary post on the farmer ticket at the convention in New York City last July, but he was nominated overwhelmingly. The fact that a Negro has been accorded such a high political honor among the socialists has caused a stampede in the republican and the democratic ranks. The fear is that Negro voters will forsake the old crowd and cast their lot where they will be given a square deal without so much begging and pleading after they have stood by them faithfully at the polls. Several well-known newspapers have commented on Mr. Randolph's nomination and it is generally conceded that his chance of being elected to the office of secretary of state is very good. Frank R. Crosswaith, a young Negro of New York City, is also on the socialist ticket for congress from the Twenty-fist Assembly District in Manhattan. 450,000 PERSONS·ILL Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 3.—Over 450,000 colored people are all the time Dr. J. B. Walker told the National Urban league in convention here last week. At least 225,000 colored people die each year. Three-fourths of the number of deaths could be prevented with proper treatment. Dr. Walker estimated that $125,000,000 could be saved annually by colored people in medical bills. ACTRESS GIVES COLORED RECORDS AS WEDDING PRESENT Marilyn Miller Gives Jack Pickford Black Swan Records for Which He Expressed a Liking. Hollywood, Cal., Nov. 3. (Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.)—Among the presents given to Jack Pickford, the famous moving picture star, by Marilyn Miller, the star of the musical show, "Sally," at the time of her marriage at Hollywood, California, a few weeks ago was a large selection of Black Swan records. Miss Miller first heard these records through another member of the "Sally" cast and was so pleased with them that she sent several to her fiancee. Mr. Pickford, who is a brother of the famous Mary Pickford, was so pleased with the records that he wanted others, and the result was that Miss Miller surprised him with a package of Black Swan records on their wedding day. These were shipped direct from New York to Hollywood in a special container to assure their perfect delivery. After the wedding the records were placed on the machine and the whole party danced to the strains of Henderson's Dance Orchestra and made merry as Ethel Waters sang "Oh Daddy," "Jazzzin' Babies Blues" and "That Da Drain." It is now becoming quite a fad with many stars of the theatrical profession, who have found something different in these all colored records to have them sent to their friends in various parts of the country. Dealers also report that a large part of their increased sales are due to the fact that the white record buyers are also beginning to ask for Black Swan records in which they find a peculiar delight. THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE Though not as well attended as it should have been, the meeting of the Alliance was a very interesting one. A tentative program was gone over which will soon be put into definite shape and published. It covers some things that are vital to the very best interests of the community. It is the purpose of this organization during the ensuing year to make itself felt in the way of bettering many of the conditions which now exist in our midst. W. H. R. BEECHER HOWELL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATE SENATOR MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL TO BE BUILT FOR NEGRO GUESTS MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL TO BE BUILT FOR NEGRO GUESTS Report Wealthy Hotel Owner Planning to Erect Palatial Hostelery for Colored Patronage. STRICTLY MODERN BUILDING St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 3. (By the A. N. P.)—David Israel, wealthy hotel owner, who is opposing Congressman L. C. Dyer in the Twelfth District, is reported to have acquired through the Chancey P. Heath Real Estate Co. an option on the southwest corner of Twenteth and Chestnut streets as a site for a twelve-story fireproof hotel for Negroes. Such a project has been broached several times and it is too early to give actual information as to Mr. Israel's real intentions. The building will have 300 rooms, each with bath, shower and running ice water. The basement will embrace a grill room, billiard room, bowling alley and swimming pool. The first floor will have a lobby, dining rooms, cafeteria, barber shop, tailor shop, women's sitting room and writing rooms. The second floor will have a ballroom, a convention hall, twelve lodge rooms and other conveniences and the entire structure is expected to cost $800,000. "O LET SKI COME HERE WOULD BE A CRIME New York City, Nov. 3—The intelligent people of this country should do everything possible to prevent Siki, the Senegalese champion prize fighter of France, coming to the United States. The pernicious American white propagandists have already written and done enough injury to the race in this country in connection with Siki's victory over Carpentier. They have fed the country upon the savage instincts of Siki. His love for white women, wine and song. They have even painted him as worse than Jack Johnson in his wildest career. Sensible American Negroes do not want to be set back another half century in their efforts to perfect a better racial understanding between the races in this country. All should join efforts in an effort to keep Siki in France where he will be treated as a man. All this BUNK about true DEMOCRACY in this country and true principles of AMERICANISM is nothing.

THE "Y" CAMPAIGN STILL ON Owing to the fact that only about one-half of the sum asked for "Y" work had been raised by last Saturday, the campaign was extended one week, closing this Saturday. If you have not yet given for this worthy cause do so at once. Let everybody give something. The "Y" as a community center is doing an imepratively needed work for our girls and young women. It deserves unqualified support. ANDIENCE WITH HARDING Lodge Consents to Arrange Meeting for Presentation of Petition on Dyer Bill and Extra Boston, Mass., Nov. 3.—The colored citizens of Massachusetts are strongly impressed by two features of the political campaign, namely, the push of the National Equal Rights for a Dyer Bill extra session of congress, and the unfailing response of Senator Lodge to the league's requests for his assistance. On the fourth of October the senator wrote to President Harding urging him to favor the signatured petition which the league was promoting for an extraordinary session of congress and the naming of the Dyer bill for consideration. In the course of the letter he said, "I am very glad to call your attention to the earnest desires and hopes of the league and to say that personally I have given to the legislation which they are anxious to have enacted my most cordial support." Friday of this week the League wired Senator Lodge requesting his "personal efforts to secure an audience with the president next week to present the league's signatured petition." The senate leader wired back as follows: "Have received your telegram and shall be glad to take matter up at once with secretary to the president.—H. C. Lodge." BATTLING SIKI BORN IN AFRICA—KIDNAPPED BY GERMAN DANCER Black Fighter Who Beat Carpentier Entered French Army at 15 and Won Two Medals. Siki's grandfather was a slave, captured by Moors in the interior of Senegal, a region almost as dark as the darkest regions of the Congo. Escaping from the Moors the old man fled to St. Louis, Senegalese port, where he married and where Louis, later to develop into Battling Siki, was born, a generation afterward. Louis Fall was born December 16, 1899. From the age of 7 he became a hanger-on at the dacks, achieving an early reputation as a battler by licking all the kids of his age within a radius of 20 miles. When he was 8 years old he was begging for pennies thrown by passengers of a French liner making port from Brazil. One of the other boys grabbed a penny Louis thought was his, and Louis swung straight and knocked him out. The feat was observed by Freda Stampich, a Berlin Important Notice! Important Notice! This is to certify that Mrs. J. Alice Stewart is no way connected with the Nebraska Negro Democratic Club. This club was organized by the men named below.

ANDREW STUART, Secretary. dancer, who was so captivated by the boy that she kidnapped him and took him to live with her at her villa in Marseilles. There she sent him to school. In 1911 the dancer decided to return to Germany and demanded a passport for herself and Louis, but it was refused by the French on the ground that Louis was a French subject and could not be adopted by a German. So the dancer left 6,000 francs to provide for Louis' needs until he could earn his living, and, departing for Germany, passed out of her youthful protege's life. In 1914, when Louis—now calling himself Battleling Siki—was 15 years old, he enlisted in the French army and in a few months arrived at the front. There he covered himself with glory and received the Croix de Guerre and the Military Medal. The war over, he recommenced his fighting and rapidly defeated all the champions of the South of France—Stuber, Leonard, Auroy—in quick succession. Seeking new worlds to conquer he came to Paris, where he celebrated his arrival by knocking out Derensky. His next match was with Maurice Lefever, whom he beat on points in 10 rounds, after which he sent Andre Marchand to sleep in the fifth. He clamored for a match with the champion. "If he beats Journee and Niles Carpentier will meet him," stated Deschamps to this demand. So last winter Siki, despite a heavy weight disadvantage, beat Journee. In June of this year he won on points against Niles after 15 rounds. THE PROVISIONAL PRES. OF AFRICA TALKS FOOLISHLY THE PROVISIONAL PRES. OF AFRICA TALKS FOOLISHLY Marcus Garvey Delivers Address Which Contains Some Sense and Much Nonsense and Virtually Thanks South for Lynching. AFRICAN REPUBLIC TO HATE Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 3. (Preston News Service.)—Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, delivered an address at the Negro fair here last Wednesday afternoon in which he praised the southern white people for lynching the American Negro as they have been doing, claiming that by this means they were making the Negro become conscious of the fact that he is not wanted in this country and can never make any progress as a race here. Garvey declared, "If a northern white man tells me he loves me, I say he is a liar." The white man of the south hates the Negro and is honest enough to say so. "When we get into our republic in Africa we mean to despise the whites because the blacks will have everything and the whites nothing. That's why the southern white man despises us and is frank enough to tell you so. He has everything and you have nothing, so don't blame him for despising you. He has contempt for you because you won't do anything for yourselves. "So long as you remain a pauper race, dependent upon another race, just so long will the world despise you. This is not social equality, I don't want to associate with a man who doesn't want to associate with me. "God never created the white man superior, the white man made himself superior. God is not responsible for your condition. God is our spiritual overlord and you are responsible for what you are. "I thank the southern white man for giving the Negro a race consciousness. Sometimes it has required beating, sometimes lynching, but he has it. In the south there is more wealth among the Negroes than anywhere in the world because the white man has forced the Negro to do something for himself. Some Negroes believe in their religion so blindly that they expect it to provide breakfast, dinner and supper for them; but I know that if I don't get up and hustle the Lord will never provide for me. "Don't hate the white man just because he despises you. He despises you because you are after something which belongs to him. (Continued on Page 5.) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: GROWING _____ THANK YOU Vol. VIII—No. 18 NATIONAL BANK TO HAVE COLORED MAN AS DIRECTOR NATIONAL BANK TO HAVE COLORED MAN AS DIRECTOR Globe National Bank of Harlem WILL Be First Institution of Its Kind to Recognize Race on Directorate. IS LOCATED IN BLACK BELT Large Deposits Anticipated from Harlem's Dense Population—Race Operates Eighty "Banks." New York, N. Y., Nov. 3.—The Globe National Bank, now in process of organization, is said to be the first national bank in the United States to recognize the Negro population by having a board of directors of both white and Negro men, according to H. M. Black, a member of the board and actively interested in organizing the bank. "The great oversight in the development of the Negro race today," Mr. Black said, "is the lack of economic direction. In this city there are about 200,000 Negroes. They own real estate property assessed at $200,000,000. They have a deposit in various New York savings banks about $30,000,000, but they are not recognized to the extent of being allowed to become directors. "The election of colored members to the Globe National Bank, to be opened at Seventh avenue and 135th street, will be held after the formal opening of the bank. This step will open the directorates of the 12,000 national banks in the United States to the Negro race. "There are eight Negro banks in the United States. All of these banks will have the opportunity of sending one of their young men to the bank to learn the principles of national banking," Mr. Black said. "In addition to the saving and discount service," he continued, 'we will have an investment service to protect Negroes from wildcat schemes and a trust department. The Negro directors will be selected from the most prominent men of their race. They will attempt not only to further the thrift among the Negro race, but to make the colored section of Harlem one of the best sections of the city." ENDORSED TO SUCCEED MORRIS Washington, D.

SPEND BILLION ON HOUSES Exceeding Outlay for All Construction in Any Year Up to 1917, Survey Shows—Strikes, General Unrest and High Costs No Block to Building—New Business and Industrial Structures in Country Represent an Outlay of $650,000,000. Total building construction in the United States during the first nine months of this year reached the "unprecedented sum of $3,000,000,000." S. W. Straus of New York announced in making public a nation-wide survey of the building situation, showing that a "wave of home building by -private owners has swept the entire country this year." More Americans became home owners during the present year than in any previous year in our history, declared Mr. Straus, explaining that expenditures for building up to October 1 exceeded the previous record year of 1920 by $1,000,000,000. He said that while this was significant of prosperity, "even more significant, however, is the fact that about $1,000,000 has been spent in homes in America since January 1." Home ownership in the United States, Mr. Straus commented, was a "splendid stabilizer, because people who own their own homes are not susceptible to the teachings of dangerous radicals." Referring to this year's record construction, Mr. Straus said: "The nearest approach to this was in 1920 when, during the corresponding period (January 1 to October 1), a little more than $2,000,000,000 was absorbed by the industry. For the same period in 1921 and 1919 the amount of money spent in new buildings was slightly in excess of $1,500,-000,000. Home Building Has Doubled. Home Building Has Doubled. "Thus, it is shown that new buildings in the United States so far this year represent the expenditure of about twice as much money as at any previous similar period in the history of the country, excepting 1920, and we have passed that record year by a billion dollars. Moreover, building material costs were at their peak in 1920, so the gain in actual new building space this year is even greater than the figures indicate. "Even more significant, however, is the fact that about $1,000,000,000 has been spent in homes in America since January 1. To appreciate this it must be borne in mind that our home building program for the first nine months this year represents a larger outlay than was made for buildings of all kinds during any previous year in the history of the nation prior to 1917, and the indications are that for the entire year our home building program will represent a larger outlay of cash than was spent for all building purposes during any year before 1919. "While statistics are not available showing what percentage of this billion dollars represents new individual home ownership, the statement can be made with safety that nothing before has ever compared with the wave of home building by private owners that has swept the entire country this year. In 1920 there were 25,000,000 families in the United States, 11,400,000 of whom owned their own homes. This amount has been enormously increased, however, as there was a gain of 71 per cent in permits for one-family houses in 1921 and this year will show a greater gain, it is anticipated. Strikes No Block to Building. "It is important that in the face of various obstacles the building industry during the year of 1922 has been able to show such a marvelous growth. When we consider the many serious strikes and the general unrest that exists abroad, it is truly remarkable that so much new building has been done this year. It demonstrates the fundamental strength of American business as nothing else can do, and the figures which have just been quoted should be a note of optimism to the entire business world. "However, it is even more important that there has been such a large increase in home ownership in the United States. This is one of the best proofs that Americans are coming to understand the value of thrift, for no phase of thrift is as significant of right thinking and right living by the public as home ownership. "The total amount of money spent so far this year for buildings of business and industrial types has been $650,000,000." SWALLOW TRAVELS FAR Birds Ringed in England Are Found in South Africa. The sixth swallow ringed and released in England to be ultimately recaptured in South Africa has been reported to Mr. H. F. Witherby, orthologist and student of bird migration. The swallow in question was ringed as a nesting near Windsor, Berkshire, on August 20, 1921. On January 8, 1922, the bird was caught by Mr. Egbert Greef in the kitchen window of his house at Bradnek, Jansenville, in the Cape Province. The journeys made by the five others which have been recaptured were from Staffordshire to Natal, Ayrshire to the Orange Free State, Lancashire to Cape Province, Yorkshire to East Giqualand and Stirlingshire to the Transvaal. Mr. Witherby's ringing scheme embraces also starlings and various other birds. Baby Drowns in Bucket of Sour Milk Falling head first into a bucket of sour milk, Morris Schichtenberg, eighteen months old, was drowned at Monroe, Mich. Uncommon Sense By JOHN BLAKE To be feared of a thing and yet do it, is what makes the prettiest kind of a man—Robert Louis Stevenson. If YOU have read "Kidnapped" you remember the quotation. It was spoken by Alan Breck after the boy, David, had stood for a minute terrified on the brink of a roaring torrent, and then, still stick with the fear of it, leaped across. To Alan Breck, the leap meant little. It required no courage for him to make it, for he knew very little of fear. But for the boy, who did the thing he feared as he feared death, it was a real act of heroism. The only real courage consists in doing the thing we are afraid to do. The hulking prizefighter of the John Sullivan type, who has as much imagination as a grizzly bear, is not brave. He is sure he is going to win. It takes no courage to go into a winning fight. The bully is never brave. In fact he is always a coward. Feeling sure that his superior size will carry him through, he picks quarrels as a pleasant method of passing his time. Put this same bully into the ring with a large hungry tiger, face him with a man who looks as if he enjoyed shooting bullies as much as the bully enjoys thrashing his physical inferiors, and all the courage oozes out of the bully. You will never know whether you are brave or not till you find yourself in a position where you are afraid to do something that ought to be done. If you do it, you have courage. If you shrink from it and quit, you have not. Never mistake a physical willingness to take a chance, to attempt some dangerous thing for the kind of courage that counts. It is not a brave but a very foolish man who walks a tight rope over Niagara falls. It is a brave man, who not wanting to die, and knowing that an operation may send him out of the world, cheerfully goes to the table, to take the one chance that may mean his continued support of his wife or his dependents. Often the timid school boy, who fears to quarrel, and tries his best to keep his peace with his fellows, gets the name of coward. But when this same boy has to fight for what he thinks is his honor, or to save a little boy from a bully, he becomes a very dangerous fighter. Real courage is not daunted by pain. The boy or the man who fights when he is afraid to, stops being afraid of anything, pain, or a black eye, or punishment. He fights because he has courage, and he usually wins. There is more real courage in this world than you fancy. It is behind all great achievement. If you have it, you are fortunate. But don't be sure, either that you have or that you haven't it till you have done or refused to do something you were afraid to do. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB I have a cinder in my eye. A feeling that I much despise. I spose I should rejoice because I haven't one in both my eyes. R.M.CAMM "What's in a Name?" BY MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; its history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel MARJORIE MARJORIE, sometimes spelled Margery, is one of the many popular derivatives of Margaret, which has gained a place of its own as a separate name. Since it was evolved from Margaret it necessarily signifies "pearl" and was taken from the Persian term for the jewel. When Margaret was subjected to the influence of other countries and became Marguerite in France; Margerita in Italy and Spain, the Scotch favorite was the lifting name of Margorie. Margaret Ethel took it to the land of the thistle and seems to have contrived to make it almost the national Scottish name. Margaret gained vogue in England through the famous Margaret of Anjou, Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, and her granddaughter Margaret Tudor. But the oldest of all derivatives is Marjorie. Bruce's daughter is perhaps the most famous of the Scottish women so called. It was readily contracted to Maisie—who does not recall "proud Maise" of the ballad? The surname Marjoribanks was derived from the barony of Raitio granted to Marjorie Bruce on her marriage with the high steward of Scotland. Margery also flourished in Scotland where the little poem originated: "My sister Margery, gentle May, Took all my little bones away." May is an endearment evolved from Marjorie and Margaret. Edward Stedman wrote a poem combining the two names which runs: "One can never quite forget Eyes like yours, May Margaret, Eyes of dewy violet. Not only like yours, Margaret, Save the blossoms newly born Of the May and of the morn."

WHAT TO EAT IF ONE has an old fashioned Scotch kettle with an iron cover there are so many toothsome dishes which may be prepared by cooking in it. Chicken, the ordinary fried chicken, never tastes half so appetizing as when it is cooked in this little iron kettle, covered so tightly that all the flavors and juices are caught and stay in the delicious morsels of tender meat. Put the chicken with a little butter and sweet lard mixed into the hot kettle and stir until each piece is lightly browned, then add a tablespoonful of water, cover tightly and cook slowly, adding a tablespoonful of water occasionally as it is needed when the meat gets brown. The secret of this kind of cooking is in keeping as little water as possible to steam and cook the meat. Each piece will be moist, brown, and well cooked. The seasoning is added when the chicken has been first browned. Pot roast of beef, veal, pork or mutton are delicious cooked in this kettle in the same way. Parsnips Cook fresh hard parsnips in boiling salted water until tender. Peel and cut in halves, lengthwise. In a frying pan have a tablespoonful or two of bacon or other sweet fat, lay in the parsnips, sprinkle lightly with sugar, salt and a dash of cayenne and brown on both sides. Another way of serving parsnips is to cook them until tender, mash and drop a spoonful into a fritter batter; when coated, fry in deep fat. Serve hot with roast. Broiled Finnan Haddle. Soak the fish twenty minutes in warm water, drain and dry thoroughly. Brush with melted butter and broil until browned on both sides. Transfer to a hot platter on which has been poured a cupful of cream or white sauce. Set into the oven a minute to heat the cream and serve hot with baked potatoes. Southern Crullers Beat together one egg and one-half cupful of sugar, then add one-half cupful of sour cream, one-half teaspoonful of soda and two to three cupfuls of flour, with a little salt. Flavor to taste; roll out as soft as possible. Chill before rolling and less flour will be needed to handle. DO WE "SEE STARS" WHEN HIT ON HEAD EACH of the five senses—sight, hearing, feeling, taste and touch— has its special set of nerves through which sensations are recorded in the brain. With the exception of the nerves of touch, which extend to all parts of the body, these perform special functions for certain individual organs—the nerves of sight being connected with the eye, those of smell with the nose, those of taste with the mouth and those of hearing with the ears. Whenever the brain receives a sudden shock, such as would follow a blow on the head, the vision-nerves are disturbed in such a way as to produce the effect of seeing flashes of light or "stars," as the resultant impression is usually called. The extremely sensitive eye-nerves cannot be jarred without producing this effect of light—while a severe blow will often react in a similar manner upon the nerves of hearing, thus leading the person who is struck to imagine that he is listening to odd unusual sounds. UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD At the left Peter Black, Jr., of Prince Rupert, B. C., stands beside the base of his radiophone aerial tower—at the right, he poses at the top of the 120-foot wooden structure to show his nerve. The tower, which the fifteen-year-old boy built himself stands upon the roof of his father's hotel in British Columbia. So powerful is his set that he frequently hears Honolulu, while listening in to Seattle-500 miles away—or even to San Francisco, 1,300 miles away, is his regular evening diversion. The boy has been a radio fan since the age of six and the building of the tower as well as every detail of installation is all his own. He also built an airplane recently—but his father will not let him fly it—yet. THE MONITOR Malcolm Works His Way Malcolm Works His Way By JANE OSBORN ( @ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate ) "Oh, snakes!" said Tom Higgens, with resigned disgust, glancing at the leaves of a little black notebook that he had just taken from his coat pocket. Malcolm Glimson, sprawled out on a hammock on the wide veranda of the Alpha Beta house, looked up with some interest. "What's biting you, Higg? is the way he showed his sympathy. "Two engagements for the same time. You see. I've got to pay my own expenses this year. Daddy's sailing close to the wind. So I got next to the student help committee and, hang it all, I somehow promised to see two people at the same time this afternoon about some work. There's a lady willing to give me board and lodging and a little money for what I can do mornings and evenings. You see, I can't board at the frat house here. I can't afford it. Then there's a job with one of the sight-seeking bus companies. You know, to go along and spiel through the megaphone two or three times a week. Somehow I arranged to see them both at four this afternoon. Snakes!" Malcolm sat up, stretched and yawned. "T'll look into one of the jobs. There's no nourishment sitting around here, and I haven't anything to do till after my first class tomorrow morning." "Well, suppose you go see the lady. Just size up the job. If this sight seeing job fails through I might be glad to take it." Again Tom consulted his little notebook. "It's a lady named Mrs. Gregory Glinner, 80 Park lane. I'll do something decent for you some day, maybe." At four promptly that September afternoon Malcolm Glinson appeared at the front door of the house of Gregory Ginner in Park lane. Emma Glinner opened the door and smiled and blushed a little, showing that, in spite of herself, she was a good deal interested in students, even when they were, or were supposed to be, of the "self-help" variety. Emma ushered Malcolm into the family living room, as being more appropriate than the front drawing room, and went to "tell mamma." Malcolm watched the slender figure eagerly as it withdrew down the hall. Mentally he made a note that here was the girl he wanted to take to his junior ball. He had always rather inclined toward spirited brunettes, but his preference suddenly swerved over to the rather shy blonde type. Mrs. Gliner soon appeared, an unaffected, motherly sort of woman. She explained that since the boys were away and Mr. Gliner was so much taken up with business, they wanted to have a young man in the family to look after the furnace nights and morning, to take care of the walks and lock up nights when Mr. Gliner was away. They kept one maid, and there were little things around the house that the boys used to do before they went away. He could have a room on the third floor that of the Ebys had had. Mrs. Gliner was sure he'd be comfortable. He was just the sort of boy she'd like, reminded her of one of her own sons— Malcolm was about to say that he was looking up the position for a friend, but he was interrupted by Emma. "But he doesn't look a bit like Fred," she said. "Fred has light hair and blue eyes and your eyes are brown, aren't they?" she said, turning to Mulelm. Malcolm grinned and said they were. "Well, goodness, but your eyes are sharp," said Mrs. Glimmer, laughing, to her daughter. "I hadn't had time to notice what color his eyes really were—all I mean is that he is the sort of boy that our boys are—Mr.-" she looked up to Malcolm. "What did you say your name was?" "Malcolm Glimson," he said, "but—" "Mr. Glimson," she smiled, "but I suppose we'll all be calling you Malcolm before long." She quickly said something about the rate of payment for extra work, but Malcolm did not heed this. He was so intent on watching little Emma, who seemed lovelier every time he looked at her. "New, I guess everything is agreed on," Mrs. Glinner was saying. "You can send your trunk and things tomorrow morning. The room is ready. I am sure we'll get along well. Mr. Glinner has no end of admiration for a boy that is chicky enough to work his own way through college." Mr. Glinner, thought Malcolm Glinson —why, yes, that was the fat father of the incomparable Emma, his own father-in-law some day. And he admirable boys who worked their way through college; perhaps he would be more inclined to accept him as a son-in-law if he did work for himself instead of taking the allowance that came so regularly and so freely from his Ugle Roger. "All right," said Malcolm, rising and making for the door. "I'll be here tomorrow." Tom was waiting in the lounge of the fraternity house for his friend. "No housework jobs for me," he said joyfully. "And I'll make enough or this sight-seeing job to be able to live at the frat house. It was fine of you to look up that other job. If I'd gone I would have missed out on this, so you see you sort of saved my life Twus Look Alike to Mother Baltimore, Md.-Edwin and Milton Gosiorowski are twin sons of Mrs. Phillipina Gosiorowski. Edwin got lost. His mother left him on a street car. Mrs. Gosiorowski rushed to the police station, but could not remember which of the twins was lost, so she hurried home to ask the other which he was. He said he was Milton, so an alarm was spread for Edwin. Two hours later he was found. What sort of time did you have? I suppose you can just phone the folks that something else has turned up." "No," said Malcolm, "I'm going to take the job myself, if you don't want it." "You take a job?" shouted Tom. "You, the richest fellow in the frat, with a trust fund of goodness knows how much and no folks at home to tell how to spend it—" "Oh, of course I have a little money. But still there are hitches sometimes. Well, the fact is, I have my own particular reason for wanting to earn my own way this winter." So in a day or two it was bruteted about through the fraternity and finally all about the campus that Malcolm Gimson had lost his money but was taking it like a brick and not saying how it happened. Meanwhile he moved away from the frat house, went back only for the weekly meetings and was looked upon as a "darned good sport," to be willing to take a housework job rather than chuck college entirely. Meantime Malcolm Glennon fell more deeply and deeply in love. He decided that the time to tell the charming Emma of his sentiment was at the junior ball. By Christmas he had asked her if she would go to the ball with him and was infinitely relieved when she accepted, with the entire approval of her mother. Then came a telegram from Malcolm's uncle and guardian, Roger Smith, who had apparently decided to travel five hundred miles to visit his nephew. It was disturbing and Malcolm did not conceal from the Glinner family that he was disturbed. "I'm asking an enormous favor," he said to Mrs. Glinner. "He'll be here only a day—while he is here would you mind letting me pretend that I am boarding here, not working? I'll explain it all sometime." Mrs. Glinner agreed, but later was puzzled over the request. If the uncle believed that the boy were not working then it must be that he had enough money sent him to make it unnecessary; if he had the money, what did he do with it? Perhaps he had lost money gambling or something, and was working to pay a debt of honor. It was too much for the easy-going Mrs. Glinner. So she kindly asked Malcolm to invite the uncle to a family dinner at which every one, including Mr. Glinner himself, would be primed to treat Malcolm like a paying boarder. But something very unexpected happened at dinner that night. Mr. Glinner recognized in Roger Smith his very dear, old college friend. "If I'd known that my nephew was boarding with the family of my old friend, how happy I should have been." "You certainly ought to have been congratulated on having a nephew willingly work his way through college even when he has no money," said Mr. Ginner. "Works his way!" exclaimed Mr. Smith, and then there had to be explanations. Mr. Ginner had forgotten for a moment the instructions of his wife. Then all eyes turned on poor, embarrassed Malcolm. "Well, now the cat's out of the bag," laughed the uncle, "why don't you tell us why you did it." Malcolm looked very intently at Emma and Emma blushed. "Because," said Malcolm, looking first straight into the eyes of Mr. Ginner and then at his uncle, "because the first time I came on an errand for a friend of mine, I decided that I wanted to—to—take Emma Ginner to the junior ball—" "Wanted to take her to the junior ball!" mocked the uncle good naturally. "Why don't you be frank and say you decided you wanted to marry her?" There was a little startled cry from Emma and a gasp from Mr. Ginner. "That is what I might have said, sir," said Malcolm very solemnly. Then there was an awkward silence and then dinner progressed and every one was very merry. That evening a little later Malcolm went on his accustomed trip to the cellar to tend fires and, Emma following his whispered injunctions, went with him. Standing in the coal bin together they plighted their troth, and five minutes later back in the family living room craved their families' blessings. "The Death Wave." That the ninth wave of the ocean is more powerful and overwhelming than the preceding eight, is a superstition which existed in Ovid's time (before the birth of Jesus Christ). Today the fishermen of England speak of this wave as the "death wave." Others claim that the tenth wave is most to be feared. In Scotland they believed a distempered cow could be cured by being washed in nine surfs, while the fishermen of Iceland say that there are three great waves which follow in succession, in which it is highly dangerous to launch boats. A legend of St. Patrick says the waves are caused by serpents which the saint inclosed in a box when he cast them out of Ireland. The mystic numbers 3, 9 and 10 seem to have been generally used in connection with the explanation of things among the ancients which were not easily understood. How the Aphis Breeds The amazing fecundity of the hop aphis is reported by the Smithsonian institution. The mother aphis produces 13 generations in a year. As each generation contains on an average of one hundred individuals, it is revealed that her progeny—barring destruction from the attacks of enemies and other natural causes—will number well into ten sextillion aphids annually. Gladstone and Manning. Manning's conversion to Rome was the severest blow that ever befell me. In a late letter the cardinal termed it a quarrel, but in my reply I told him it was not a quarrel but a death. Since then there have been viciousitudes. But I am quite certain that to the last his personal feelings never changed; and I believe also that he kept a promise made in 1851 to remember me before God at the most solemn moments; a promise which I greatly valued.—W.

POOL LINCOLN, NEBRASKA UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD Blue and white dotted foulard makes this charming afternoon gown popular for summer wear. WEAR BEADS AND BRACELETS Women Still Give Preference to Costume Jewelry Which Includes Great Variety. Costume jewelry is the one fad of the season, with a leaning toward the semi-precious stones. The Staffordshire pottery beads in their soft colorings have been used, and the Wedgewood beads would be popular if they were not so difficult to procure. Rock crystal and onyx, or crystal alone is worn by the matrons and if there is one dominant note in the bead world it is the revival of amber. Never has so much amber been seen as this season, and it ranges in color from the clouded pale amber to the dark colored strings of clear round amber uncut beads which fall below the waist. Ivory beads carved and plain and white coral come next in popularity, and those wearing mourning cling to the beautiful shades of Whittier let. Some Scotch Calrignorm pins are worn, with their silver mountings and topaz and amethyst settings. A chain of amethyst set in silver makes a very attractive costume decoration, while oval unpolished topaz is most unique. Italian beads are worn on a black silk cord, strung at intervals, or on half-inch black ribbon with a large china pendant for morning with gingham or volle frocks. Bracelets run the gamut, but Chinese bracelets of glass in jade, black and goldstone effect are worn, sometimes two or three together. Bangle bracelets are most popular and strands of fine pearls come next in popularity. A carved and twisted snake bracelet of dark tortoise shell is worn with hoop earrings of tortoise shell. Carneanell cut bakellite in vivid scarlet and green has been adopted for wear with pastime suits of green and white stripe. Black pearl tassels with diamond studded pearl, hung from a black silk cord are affected for evening wear. Fancy celluloid girdles matching sweaters in contrasting color are worn by the younger set, and a few girdles of cut steel circles or diamonds held together with fine steel chains are also worn with sweaters and onepiece dresses. Huge onyx and crystal rings are used for hatpins. Tiny bead bags, matching frocks in color are used, those having the round colored celluloid tops leading in favor. NEW YORK'S AGE IS IN QUESTION Celebration of the 300th Anniversary Is Involved. OLD LETTER COMES TO LIGHT Strengthens Claim That Observance of Anniversary of Founding of New Amsterdam, Now New York, Should Be in 1926, Rather Than in 1924, as Tentative Plans Announced—Quaint Description of Place Where 6,000,000 Now Live. Out of the archives of 300 years ago Hollanders have brought to light a letter with which the Netherlands chamber of commerce strengthens a claim that the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Amsterdam, now New York, should be in 1926, rather than in 1924, as tentative plans announced. Here is the letter, with its quaint and brief description of the spot where now 6,000,000 persons live; the assessed valuation is $6,000,000,000, or $250,000 an acre; where the exports are 100,000 times those of the year of its founding: Recep., 7 November, 1926. High and Mighty Sirs:--Here arrived yesterday the ship The Arms of Amsterdam, which sailed from New Nederland out of the Mauritius river (the Hudson) on September 23; they report that our people there are healthy and live peaceably. Their women also have borne children there. Tella of Buying Manhattan.

"The cargo of the aforesaid ship is: Seven thousand two hundred and forty-six beaver skins, 178% otter skins, 675 otter skins, forty-eight mink skins, thirty-six cat skins, thirty-three mink skins, thirty-four rat skins, and many logs of oak and nut wood. "Herewith, High and Mighty Sirs, be ye commended to the Almighty's Grace. "In Amsterdam, Nov. 5, Anno 1628, Your High Mightinesses' Obedient, "P. SCHAGEN." The 60 guilders mentioned, at the present rate of exchange, amount to the $24 price of Manhattan known to every schoolboy; the "Mauritius river" is the Hudson river, from whose waters, by the way, a giant air cruiser recently took flight for Brazil—the glorified descendant, 300 years apart, of the little ship that carried "otter skins, rat skins, and many logs of oak and nut wood." L. Witter Van Hoogland, secretary of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in New York, points out in recommending 1926 as the year for the percentenary celebration, that the THE MONITOR earlier settlers, contrary to the belief of historians of years ago, probably settled in Fort Orange, now the city of Albany, while Manhattan remained a trading post until a group landed there as settlers in 1626. RECORD INSURANCE POLICY Pennsylvania Treasurer Gets $26,000, 000 Against Burial. A $26,000,000 burglar insurance policy, covering securities for which the state treasurer of Pennsylvania is responsible, was executed the other day by the National Surety company and twenty-five co-insuring companies. This is the largest burglar insurance policy ever written. The protection afforded by the policy will run three years. Premiums will total more than $32,000 for the three years. R. A. Algre, vice-president of the National Surety company, explained that, while it was unusual for a state to take out a burglar policy of anything like such proportions, the development indicated a general tendency in that direction. The National Surety company recently executed such a policy for the state of Kentucky for $4,000,000. Mr. Algre said. "A state is subject to the same hazard as a bank, or any other institu- Established by the late Silas Johnson 2518 Lake Street Continuing the same considerate efficient service John Albert Williams, Executor Webster 0248 tion," he continued. "It is essential for the state to arrange for some sort of protection for securities on hand or for state moneys, and the state of Pennsylvania is insuring itself against the theft of various securities held in custody by the treasurer." EASY TO FLY TO POLE Expert Says Airlift of German Type Could Make the Trip. Modern airships of the German type could make the trip from London to the North Pole, a distance of 4,600 miles, within a week, says Maj. Richard Carr, aerial expert of the Shackleton Antarctic expedition. Fuel for the entire distance could be carried, and no landings need be made. Major Carr made important observations on flying conditions in the Antarctic. "During the seven weeks we were in the ice," he says, "the lowest temperature recorded was 5 degrees Fahrenheit and the average approximately 20 degrees. The wind average was eight to ten miles an hour, and the air and sky were wonderfully clear. We had more than 300 perfect flying hours." SPRAINS MAY BE SERIOUS Should Never Be Taken Lightly, but Have the Most Careful Attention at Once. Sprains and strains as a class are injuries which cause little concern and, consequently, to which little attention is paid. The result is, according to the medical correspondent of the London Times, that a great deal of disability is caused which need not have occurred at all. He tells how to avoid much of this and gives explanations which rob sprains of some of their mystery. Sprains are not by any means so trivial as they are usually supposed to be. Some of them are not "sprains" at all, but slight dislocations, and it is by knowledge of this fact that so-called bloodless surgeons acquire their reputation. A return of the members to their correct position often ends the pain and discomfort of these accidents. Again, some sprains are fractures. The bones may not have been separated, and so the fact that a break has occurred is overlooked. Not until permanent damage has been done is professional help called in. Finally, there are cases in which fibers of ligaments—1. e., the binding material forming the hinges of a joint or the means of fixation of a muscle tendon to a bone—have been torn asunder. These cases may prove exceedingly troublesome, and if not attended to may result in permanent weakness. It is a good and safe rule to call in a doctor, says the writer, when any severe or even moderately severe sprain has been encountered. By this means the calamities attending neglect of serious injury are avoided. Two Small Crafts Will Bear Parties on Experimental Voyages. Two German sailboats of small dimensions are due to brave the furies of the Atlantic on experimental transoceanic voyages within the coming year. On one of them a party of 13 German artists and professional men plan to circumnavigate the globe. They have recently tested their craft in a trip to Copenhagen, and are now trying to complete arrangements for leaving before the end of the year. The vessel is 58 feet long. The other enterprise is to be conducted by three German sailors in a 3-foot sailboat of 12 tons, which they themselves intend to build.

Another important department of the Omaha Chapter, American Red Cross, is looking after undernourished school children. Everyone realizes what an important task this is. During the past school semester, 1,506 children, attending Omaha schools, were entered into nutrition classes under the school nurses, and were furnished milk at the expense of the Red Cross. Dr. Stokes especially calls the attention of the public to the wonderful work done by the Red Cross during the terrible tornado which occurred in Omaha on Easter Sunday in 1913. Even though Omaha was not a member of the National Red Cross, that organization spent over $40,000 here, furnishing shelter and food for those whose houses were wrecked and who had no money with which to rebuild their homes. "Omahans will never forget this wonderful service," said Dr. Stokes. "Omaha is doubly obligated to the Red Cross. Their work during the war, which no one can deny, was the most wonderful of all, and their work during the terrible disaster here. During the three days of the drive I know that the Omaha men and women will pay their dollars gladly to keep up their membership in this most wonderful organization." THE DUTY OF VOTING WE desire to impress upon our readers the duty and importance of voting. In a republic, such as ours, the voters are in reality the government. It is up to the voters to say what kind of men shall make and execute the laws. It is therefore a solemn duty and a grave responsibility which rests upon every American citizen, male and female, to cast his vote as his best judgment suggests and his conscience dictates for the candidates whom he believes will best serve the interests of the people. It is the duty of voters to inform themselves to the best of their ability as to the character of the respective candidates seeking their support and also of the respective issues before the people. Having done this each one should go to the polls with his mind fully made up as to how he will vote. Many of our people, who have in the more recent years come into this community from the south where they are unlawfully denied the privilege of unlawfully denied the privilege of voting here. This is a mistake. Every citizen should qualify himself to vote intelligently and do so. We urge our people to vote on Tuesday next according to their best judgment. All parties have nominated good men for the respective offices, speaking broadly, and it is therefore simply a question with the intelligent voter as to what policies he deems it wisest and best to support. Upon this there will be, naturally, a difference of opinion. Fortunately our people are beginning to divide upon public issues like other classes of citizens and are gradually emerging from blind and slavish partnership. This in our judgment is a great gain. As conditions are, the bourbon South dominating the demo- 1. --- Page Four Letter July 2, 1915, at the Postoffice at March 3, 1879. ERT WILLIAMS, Editor. State Editor, Lincoln, Neb.

This will undoubtedly inure to our racial advantage and make for better government. The election next Tuesday is a most important one. We urge our readers who are qualified voters to go to the polls and cast their vote according to their best judgment for those candidates whom they honestly believe will strive conscientiously to discharge the duties of the offices to which they shall be elected. HOW TO VOTE ALL VOTERS should get a sample ballot before Tuesday and look it over in order that they may know just how they want to vote. This will save time for them at the voting booths. At the top of the long ballot will be found four circles, opposite which are the party designations, "Republican", "Democrat", "Progressive" and "Prohibition". These circles are your party circle. If, for example, you are a republican and wish to vote the straight republican ticket, all you have to do, is to make a cross in the circle opposite the "Republican" circle, fold your ballot, hand it to the inspector of election who will deposit it in the ballot box. If, however, there is a candidate or candidates of some other party for whom you desire to vote instead of the regular republican nominee, make your mark in your party circle, and then put a cross opposite the name of the candidate of the other party for whom you wish to vote. Suppose, for example, you want to vote the whole republican ticket, with the exception say of --- Secretary of State. Put you cross in the party circle and when you get to the section of the ballot printed thus: Vote for ONE For Secretary of State ( ) John Doe.....Republican (x) Thomas Roe.....Democrat Put a cross in the square before Thomas Roe's name, as indicated. This shows that you vote for Thomas Roe, democrat, instead of John Doe, republican. By studying the sample ballot beforehand and following these instructions any voter of ordinary intelligence will know how to vote as he desires, either a straight party ticket or to cut his ticket. RANDALL FOR GOVERNOR THE MONITOR urges the election of Charles H. Randall, the republican nominee for governor. He has a good record. He impresses all who meet his as an honest, broad-minded, unassuming man who will strive to do his duty by all citizens of this state. We believe he will give us a clean, efficient and business administration. FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE AMONG the four good men seeking election to the Municipal judgement, the best equipped man from every point of view is Charles S. Elgutter. Whatever two men may be chosen The Monitor does not hesitate to say that we hope one of them will be Charles S. Elgutter. STREHLOW FOR HOUSE THE MONITOR commends Robert R. Strehlow to the voters of his legislative district as an excellent, high-class young man of broad mind and high ideals. He will make an excellent representative. Vote for him. SHOTWELL FOR JUDGE A YOUNG LAWYER of ability and promise is Ross L. Shotwell, candidate for Municipal judge. He has a large and favorable acquaintance among our people. In the event of his election he will make an excellent judge. We can and do favorably commend him. POLITICAL POINTERS WILLIAM WAPPICH, as police judge, has striven to be absolutely fair to all classes. He is a candidate for Municipal Judge. Frank Dineen, as city prosecutor, has given good satisfaction. He seeks promotion to the Municipal bench. The contest between the candidates for the two municipal judgeships is in our opinion going to be a close and hotly contested one. Michael J. Endres, democratic candidate for sheriff, has made a good record as county treasurer, and it is the belief of those who know him that, in the event of his election, he will make a good sheriff. His republican opponent, whose name is also Mike, says, "I've got him beaten." The battle of the Mikes is on. Lloyd A. Magney, democratic candidate for County attorney, had experience in that office during his father's incumbency, and is therefore qualified for the job. Henry J. Beal, republican candidate for County attorney, has been deputy in County Attorney Shotwell's office for several years and has made good there. Henry's friends are confident of his election. Henry is a good printer as well as a good lawyer. Otto J. Bauman, who is contesting with W. G. Ure for county treasurer, has waged and is waging an active campaign which has unquestionably gained votes for him. Ure says Bauman will need many more votes to beat him. Gilbert M. Hitchcock's widely circulated campaign document, "The Black Horror on the Rhine" has helped make votes for R. B. Howell, republican nominee for the United States senate. W. G. Ure is endorsed for County Treasurer by many leading citizens who remember his fine record as County Treasurer a few years ago. RACE POPULATION ADVISED TO ELECT OWN CONGRESSMEN (Continued from Page 1) gives the Negro contingent greater political potentiality. But this question rises above the level of district politics. Let it also be borne in mind that there is a larger proportion of adults than among the white race. This fact in the Negro population of these cities may not be much above a fourth of the total population. Platform for 1924. The Negro voters throughout these several states should make a united demand upon the state machinery of the republican party to throw the regular congressional nomination in the heavy Negro districts to a member of the group. The Negro vote is essential to republican success in all of these states under normal political conditions. The party managers would not dare refuse such a request if presented with unity and earnestness. Here then is the Negro platform for the campaign of 1924: Let us have a republican administration for 1924, with a "bloc" of three or four Negro congressmen. THE MONITOR Letters From Our Readers Short, timely letters are invited. We prefer that writers sign their names, in all cases letters signed with a nom de plume or as "Reader," "Sub-owner," or "Author" named by the name and address of the author for the editor's information. October 31, 1922. To the Editor of The Monitor. Dear Sir: I trust that you will publish this letter that your readers may be informed as to my views of the Volstead Act and how I will enforce the prohibition laws until they are amended. I favor light wines and beer and maintain that the Volstead Act is unsound in so far as it prohibits the manufacture and sale of them. Experience proves that the prohibition laws cannot be strictly enforced and, therefore, should be amended in the interests of good government. They breed disrespect and disregard for all law. As to strong drinks I will enforce these laws strictly, but as to light wines and beer I will be lenient and reasonable. I regard a man's home as his castle. I am running as an independent candidate for county attorney on a light wine and beer platform that the people may freely express their sentiment in favor thereof without regard to party politics. Congress will not modify the Volstead Act until the sentiment of the people has been clearly expressed for a change. To legalize light wines and beer would do more than anything else to reduce taxes. Go to the polls, therefore, on November 7, 1922, and disregard mere party politics and express your sentiment in favor of modifying the Volstead Act by voting for me, and do all you can to persuade others to do likewise. Yours for light wines and beer and clean politics, OTTO A. SINKIE. SIOUX CITY, IA., NEWS Mr. J. N. BOYD is The Monitor's Sioux City Correspondent and agent.

COLORED AMERICANS DANCE AT HOTEL ASTOR New York, Nov. 3.—Something is always happening to upset the smug assurances of race theorists that "It can't be done". Twenty Negro couples were among the guests of the America's Making Carnival and Dance at the Hotel Astor, Forty-fourth street and Broadway, Friday evening, October 27th. Thirty-six racial and national groups were represented in an unprecedented and myth-destroying get-together. The program was a mixture of special entertainment and social dancing. The great Louis Chalfi and his Russian dancers, the Erzie Sisters and Dolly Sisters. Finnish, English, Carpath-Russian and Swedish folk dances provided unique entertainment for those who did not dance. But Negroes can dance and did. The magnificent grand ball room provided a pretty setting for this group with its charming women handsomely gowned, its men suave and graceful. They were, as the America's Making program courageously asserted and demonstrated—apart of OUR AMERICA. Among the Negro guests were: Dr. and Mrs. W. E. B. DuBois, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pace, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald F. Norman, Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. James Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elzy, Dr. and Mrs. George A. Kyle, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Johnson, Mrs. Daisy Tapley, Mrs. Charles W. Joyce, Mrs. Ella F. Harrison, Miss Minnie Brown and Miss Louise Lattimer. CHARLES L. GILPIN COMING TO THE BRANDEIS An important attraction is announced for the Brandeis theatre for three nights commencing Thursday, November 9th, matinee Saturday, when Adolph Klauber will present the greatest dramatic novelty of the past decade, Eugene O'Neill's unusual play, "The Emperor Jones", with Charles S. Gilpin, the astonishing actor, who rose from obscurity to world-fame in one night, in the title role. The play is built upon somewhat different lines than the usual run of dramatic offerings. It is in eight scenes, laid in the West Indies, and depicts the adventures of an ex-Pullman porter, who flees through a dense forest to escape the vengeance of the ignorant black natives he has plundered. During the action of the play, the emperor passes through all the human emotions beginning in a humorous vein, the scenes graduate from expressions of slight alarm and bewilderment, to the depths of desperation and despair. Mr. Gilpin's art is said to carry his audience breathless and tense, throughout the unfolding of the story. The presentation will be made in this city with the same attention given to every detail as during its entire season's run at the Princess theatre, New York and extended runs in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.

ELGUTTER DENOUNCES LYNCHING Charles S. Elgutter, candidate for municipal judge, more than ten years ago denounced the brutality of lynching and burning at the stake. He demanded that the power of the United States be exercised though the federal courts in punishing those found guilty of such brutality against citizens of the United States and those entitled to protection under treaty. Charles S. Elgutter long ago anticipated the provisions of the Dyer Bill now pending in congress. Read all about it in his book "A Citizen of the United States", which may be found in the Omaha Public Library, and filed in the Congressional Library at Washington. Charles S. Elgutter's plea was endorsed by members of congress and by officials of the state department at the time. THE ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets Russell Taylor, Pastor Services Sunday were in keeping with the World's Temperance Sunday Program. Attendance was fair. The interest in the matter under discussion was excellent. The Adult Bible Class under the leadership of Mr. H. J. Pinkett is growing very much in interest, Knowledge of the Bible is a worthy asset to anyone, it matters not what vocation they are following. We trust that more will take advantage of the superior instruction being given in this class. The sermon topics next Sunday will be as follows: 11 a. m., "And Shall Teach Men to Sow." 8 p. m., "The Message to the Church in Thyatya, or the Woman, Jezebel. Who Brought Spiritual Discredit Upon the Church." The Christian Endeavor topic is, "Better Thinking." Phil. 4:4-8. This is the monthly consecration meeting and will be led by the pastor. The hour is 7:15 and we trust that each Endeavoror may be present on that date. ACTIVITIES OF STATE BAPTIST MISSIONARY Rv. M. H. Wilkinson, Baptist state missionary, was in Fairbury Friday and Beatrice Sunday. He is spending this week preaching at Morning Star Baptist church, Lincoln, in a financial effort at which every colored church in the city is represented each night. He leaves for South Sioux City, Neb. Friday, November 10, which is a new field. Club leaders at Morning Star are Mesdames Adair, Gurley and McCurley and Messrs Hodges and Hawes. OUR BOYS MAKING GREAT SHOWING AT FOOTBALL The Central High School has five of our boys playing on the first and second teams and they are all doing excellent work. Ledrue Galloway, Martin Thomas and Charles Ennis are on the first team and George McKee and Worthington Williams are on the second. Galloway, full-back on the first, is the acknowledged star of that strong aggregation, and Thomas and Ennis are close seconds. Williams as quarter-back and McKee as half-back of the second have starred in every game this season. Neither the first nor the second team has been defeated this season.

Russell Taylor, chairman of the executive committee; Mrs. Cooper, chairman of the program and place of meeting committee; and Mr. Garett, chairman of the auditing committee, also gave favorable reports. The treasurer's report by Mr. H. L. Anderson showed much diggence in its keeping and indicated a balance on hand. On next Sunday, November 5, the Branch will meet at St. John's A. M. E. church at which time and place the annual election of officers will occur. The rule making only those who are financial at twelve o'clock on the day of election was suspended, so that opportunity will be given for any who chance to be present and not paid up, to do so immediately after the opening of the meeting on the above date.

Colored Voters Attention!! Two Big Republican Mass Meetings The SANDMAN STORY THE Fairies as everyone knows do not like to be in the daytime or at least in the sunlight, but one day they had to be out to undo the work of King Oberon, who is very jealous of the power of the Fairies and never loses a chance to display his powers of magic charm. King Oberon is called the King of the Fairies, but he really has little to do with ruling and has power only during the hour between the night and day. One night the Goblins capering about came across King Oberon sitting under a leaf in the woods waiting for the charmed hour when at his command all things would be under his control. "Could you change us into big spiders with lots of legs?" asked one Goblin. "Of course I could. Nothing easier," replied King Oberon. "Why do you Sitting under a roog on the woods. wish to become spiders?" he asked. "You can be lions just as well if you like." "Oh, no, we'd rather be spiders with lots of legs so we can run fast," said the mischievous little fellow. "We want to frighten the Fairies at their feast in the dell." This pleased King Oberon very much, but he did not tell the Goblins that his power lasted only a short time, and that they might have to remain spiders until the next night unless they returned within the magic hour. So the Goblins called all their brothers to be right on time when the magic hour came around and King Oberon changed them all into spiders which scamped to the dell as fast as their legs would carry them. The little Fairies and their Queen were sitting around a cobweb table-cloth spread upon the ground eating fairy food when all at once from the tree and bushes dropped those naughty spider Goblins right in their midst. Up jumped the Fairies crying out with fright and away they ran, hiding under all sorts of things to escape their tormentors. But the Goblins were not satisfied with frightening the Fairies once; they ran this way and that, trying to find them and send them flitting about like so many scared little butterflies. When the Fairy Queen saw the spider Goblins looking for the Fairies she knew that some charmed spell was upon them and when she touched one with her wand and that did not change it to a Goblin she knew that it was King Oberon's work, for she could not undo his work until his hour was over. So she whispered to all of her Fairies telling them not to be frightened, that it was the mischievous Goblins and that they would be sorry little fellows if they could be kept in the dell until the magic hour of King Oberon's power had passed. So the Fairies pretended to be very much frightened and the Goblins intent upon their pranks and thinking it was great fun stayed until the sun was up. They scampered off in a hurry when they saw the light, but, of course, King Oberon had gone home long before. "Oh, what shall we do?" monned the Goblins, for in their spidery forms they could not give the magic signal, the three knocks that opened the door to their homes inside the moss-covered rocks. And there the Queen and her Fairies found them, for they followed them soon after they ran, well knowing what would happen and if anyone begged hard to be helped out of trouble those mischievous little Goblins did when they saw the Fairy Queen. They promised to be good, they promised never, never again to go to King Oberon to be changed into any form and they told the Queen she was the most powerful among the magic folk, and they thought King Oberon only a pretender and not at all a king. With one wave from the Queen's wand and those of her subjects, the Goblins received their own forms again, and as soon as they had thanked the Queen and the Fairies they ran with shamed faces for their homes, while the Fairies and their Queen flitted off to Fairyland and were soon in their beds fast asleep. CLIFF BARS WAY TO "VALE OF GOLD" IN CALIFORNIA Prospecting Miner Finds Verdant Tract High Up in the Salmon River Mountains. A verdant valley of approximately 640 acres has been discovered high up in the Salmon River mountains in Siskiyou county near the Trinity county border in California. It is almost certain no human feet have trod the meadow tract. Several attempts have been made to reach the valley in the last few weeks, but all have failed. The mountain valley is walled in by jagged granite rocks of such precipitous dimensions that no one can scale them with ordinary appliances. A tiny creek meanders through the valley and finds its exit in a waterfall 800 feet high over a preceplice as straight up and down as a stone wall. A Trinity county miner found gold all along the creek, clear up to the preplepice that barred his way. This miner, Gordon Abrams, climbed a peak and looked over into the valley through a spyglass. He saw a gray streak cutting across it. He believes this is a quartz ledge, possibly the mother lode of the gold he found in the placer digging below. Abrams is almost certain, he says, man has never entered the valley and that no one is likely to enter it soon. DAME NATURE GIVES PLANTS REVENGE AGAINST ANIMALS MARIE F. MAYER LOS ANGELES, CALIF. This odd plant, called the "Dutchman's Pipe" and recently brought from Java to the Horticultural hall in London, has given British householders a new hope in the war against rodent pests. For it reverses the usual rule of nature and, instead of the animal eating the plant—the plant eats animals. "Stop the Leaks. Stop Extravagance. Lower Taxes." These candidates are pledged to this platform. To change the county management ALL THREE MUST BE ELECTED THE MONITOR Mice, or other tiny animals, attracted by the smell, creep into the hole shown in the center of the plant. A sticky substance which lines the inner walls, together with bristles which trap the victim, keep it from escaping—and the plant's "digestive juices" speedily absorb it. MYSTERY AT LAST IS SOLVED Muskrat Takes Bath in Wisconsin Man's Rainwater Tank. The mystery of the muddy rainwater which has bothered a Menasha (Wis.) family for about a month was explained in a surprising manner. The water, in a granite kettle placed under the rainspout, would be perfectly clear just after a rain, but next morning would be thick with mud as though some one had cleaned muddy rubbers in it. No one could account for this strange occurrence until after the chauffeur happened to spy a large muskrat bathing itself in the kettle. When it saw the man approaching it scooted under the garage. The house is some distance from the river and this makes the behavior of his ratship all the more extraordinary. The muskrat is one of the few fur-bearing animals left in the valley of the Fox River.

Despite the fact he was wounded in the stomach, chest and hand by the full charge from a shotgun, an alleged river pirate, by diving and under-water swimming, successfully cluded Baltimore police in a motorboat for more than two hours. After being discovered and shot while attempting to board the lighthouse tender Maple, the man jumped into the water. He hid under piers and docks, while those on the police boat Robert D. Carter searched for him. As soon as he was spotted by the patrolmen's flashlights, the man would dive and swim for long distances under water, always in an unexpected direction. The fugitive finally was lassoed as he dived. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital. There he gave his name as Joseph Cruz, twenty years old. He said he lived in San Domingo.

Skill in execution of music is indicated by finger tips that are well padded. Some authorities on palmistry hold that a very good sign of skill and talent—perhaps even genius—in music is indicated by a finger of Jupiter (or forefinger) that is bent or curved; in rare cases, even to a degree approaching the semi-circle. This mark or sign is accentuated and strengthened if the finger of Mercury, the little finger, is also bent in similar fashion. This shows a good musician of any sort, but especially a pianist. If only one finger is bent, some hold, it is a sign of a person who simply has a great love of music, while the bending of both fingers means a performer of music. A short, sharp vertical line on the mount of Apollo, at the base of the third finger, is held to mean, invariably, skill in music. If the line of fortune (running from the line of life toward Mercury) leaves the line of life at a sharp angle, it means love of music. Frightened Off.

WHAT THEY SAID IN PASSING Newspaper Man Took Notes of What He Overheard in Kansas City Shopping District. Just what are women saying to each other as they walk along the street, was a query the young man with the investigative turn of mind found rattling around in his question box one day. The matter worried him until he determined to find out the answer. He went to the shopping district where the feminine groups abound, and with no intention of impoliteness, he gave ear to the conversation of passing femininity. The bits of conversation that reached his ear and gave him the answer to the great question came somewhat in this fashion: "She has been going with him for—Plenty long enough for street wear and besides—I sure is swell candy—That little car he drives looks pretty poor—She certainly knows how to string 'em—He called me up an 'says—I'd never even met the man but he looked—It simply makes your complexion—Rolling them down is the thing this hot—She wears her clothes the worst of any—She told him she couldn't swim—He sure is jolly, but you can't tell about—Said his name was—I lost $10 in two hands—She shot her husband and served—He's my favorite movie star—Newpaper men are so interesting—I just get a can of something at the grocery—Blue is your color, dear—He certainly is free with his coin—I'm dying for a sundae or a shot of coke—He saw me smoking and said—The silk ones are very reasonable now at—What he don't know won't—He always dresses well and has such—"Kansas City Star. --- If You Are for LIGHT WINES AND BEER or Against the POLITICAL RING County A and thereby express your sen- for something.

The Soviet government has set 1925 as the year when the production of Russian industries should be brought up to an output approaching the pre-war normal. Transport and agriculture and all auxiliary industries connected with them are to be re-established first. Special attention and liberal expenditure are recommended for oil and coal production. Oil, which in 1922 yielded 263,000,000 poods (a pood is 36 pounds) is expected to yield 497,000,000 in 1925, and coal, which in 1922 yielded 670,000,000 poods is expected to give 1,670,000,000 poods in 1925, as against 570,000,000 poods of oil in pre-war times, and 2,097,000,000 poods of coal in 1916, the year of maximum production. The metal industry, which in 1922 yielded 30,000,000 poods, is expected to yield 120,000,000 in 1925, as against 257,400,000 poods in 1913. In the textile industry, where 1,368,500 spindles and 38,000 looms are working in 1922, producing 500,000,000 yards of cloth, 3,000,000 spindles and 8,000 looms are expected to yield 1,400,000,000 yards of cloth in 1925. This plan, however, cannot be accomplished without money, says a report to the recent communist party conferences. Money is needed from the start, both as fundamental and working capital. And the sum to bring the various industries through the 1925 is fixed at 3,500,000,000 gold rubles. As no such money can be found in the country, the report urges the necessity of attracting money from abroad, as otherwise the existence of the most important industries—metal, machine and mining—are greatly threatened. STATUE OF GLADSTONE GETS ITS ANNUAL FACE WASHING KEYSTONE The sature of Gladstone in the Strand, London, presented a curious view recently when workmen were busy giving him the yearly "rub over." GREAT ARTISTS POORLY PAID Michael Angelo Tolled for $32 Monthly; Glotti for $1 a Day. Modern artists who are inclined to complain of the lack of appreciation of the public, expressed in dollars and cents, of their work, may be interested in the money made by some of their famous predecessors. The ancient masters of painting labored for small pay. Climacue, the first of the great masters and the discoverer of Glotti, was paid about $1 a day, but he had to share this income with an assistant. Glotti himself, called the father of painting and the producer of many fine masterpieces, got from $5 to $11 for each of his figures. Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael lived in what may be called the golden age of art, yet the first two received salaries of $32 a month and the last named got $250 for a portrait. ALFONSO DISPLAYS HUMOR Laughs When Child Says He Is Not Handsome Enough to Be King. King Alfonso still likes children. He was talking to a little girl of six years during his visit to Deauville, France, when he suddenly burst out laughing. He had been telling the child, in reply to her question, that he really was the king of Spain. "I don't believe it," the child said; "you have no crown, no diamonds, no throne, and, then, you are not handsome enough. All the kings I've seen in picture books were good-looking." Slipped in Bathing Beauty Slides. An illustrated lecture given by a professor before a class in Grecian art in the University of Mississippi, Oxford, Miss, was nearly broken up as a result of a freshman slipping in some slides of "movie" bathing beauties. Warsaw Reports Show Rail Traffic Is Increasing. Railroad traffic in Poland is increasing. During the first six months of the present year it was 20 per cent greater than during the same period in 1921.

The bell, which hangs from the administration building, is rung at 7:30 a. m., 12 m., 12:30 p. m. and 4 p. m., by James A. Watts, who has held the post of official bell hung for 12 years. The bell originally hung in the State, War and Navy building. GOLF STICK KILLS TEACHER Racine Woman Gets in Way as Attorney Swings for Drive. Miss Evelyn Calan, Depere, Wis., a teacher in the Racine public schools, is dead as the result of an accidental blow delivered with a golf stick by Allan Simpson, assistant district attorney of this county, while he was demonstrating the science of driving a golf ball on the lawn of a South Main street home. Simpson was showing the stroke to a number of feminine devices of the game, when Miss Calan, who was sitting on the porch of the residence, stepped down behind him just as he lifted the driver in his backward arc over his shoulder. The club struck the young woman just back of the ear. She fell to the ground and, despite the efforts of physicians, died some fifteen minutes later. ```markdown ``` Headgear Is Wider and Broader for Fall and Winter. No Longer Crushes Into Shape—Built Upon Frames That Stand Away From the Head. The first demand of every woman for the new season's fashion is that her hats shall be in fine trim—that she shall adorn her head according to the latest dictates of style. Her dresses may pass—she can at least wear a suit—but an oldish hat is something too damning for words, observes a fashion critic in the New York Times. Now the hats of the present season have changed just as much as the frocks. They are wider and broader. They no longer crush into shape, but are built upon frames that stand away from the head and create a formality of line entirely new. From Paris comes the news that the tricorn will be more popular than ever. But it is a very much elaborated tricorn. It is larger than it has been for some time. It spreads out on three sides with the abandon that only a hat of French origin can show. As for the felt hats, they are no more numerous than the straw hats were in the summer. There are silk and satin hats and duvetn hats and velvet hats, but felt hats, those real exponents of the winter mode, are much in the minority. However, they are smarter this season than they ever have been before. On the streets, in the places where smart women No.1 No.2 No.5 No. 3—Drooping Brim, Suitable for New Long Brim of Dress. No. 1—Tricorn of Velvet With Ribbon Carde. No. 2—Felt Hat With Ribbon Edge and Ribbon Puff. gather, you will find the felt hats usurping the center of the stage. They are blocked into interesting shapes, usually with puffed and draped crowns, and they are made with narrow brims, sometimes wider at the sides, that droop over the faces and give a mushroom effect to the general contour of the hat. The trimming is very sparsely done. FLAT CREPE IS NEW FABRIC Home, Beautiful Silk of Compact Texture and Fine Quality—Offered in All Shades. With the establishment of a new silhouette it is only natural that a new fabric should also gain favor, for in the expression of a decided vogue an adaptable material is always of paramount importance. That flat crepe is the material of the moment is more than hearsay, and its popularity a recognized fact. Name, a new flat crepe, is a beautiful silk of a compact texture and fine quality. It has the sort almost noncrucable characteristic that distinguishes materials that are all pure silk and that is such a decided asset in a fabric of its weight. The absolute perfection necessary in the weaving of a flat crepe gives Nome the quality appeal desired in dresses of the better sort. The vogue for this flat silk is based on many apparent reasons. In the development of the circular and draped silhouette the grace and folds of the design are most appreciated in a fabric that catches the light on its many surfaces. A frosted sheen that is a feature of this fabric enhances in its very nature the flowing lines of today's gowns. Nome is offered in all the radiant shades to be featured in formal gowns this autumn and is exceptionally handsome in navy blue and black. Autumn Colors Brown and navy are among the most favored colors for street costumes. Evening dresses show the tendency toward shades of yellow, rose and sapphire and feature a low-cut neckline, much draping and no sleeves. crease until there is a complete cleaning from top to bottom, and an entire new board of county commissioners elected and put in charge of the distribution of the county funds. It is very important that if the citizens want relief, that they must elect the three progressive commissioners, which would give them a majority on the board.
