State Historical Society LIFTIN FT TOO Independents Poll Sufficient Number of Votes to Decisively Defeat Lily White Candidate for Senator. ACTION IS UMPDECEDENTED First Time in History of Virginia that Negroes Have Had Courage to Announce and Maintain Their Political Independence Richmond, Va., Nov. 15—The independent colored ticket made its fight in the State and won its objective, the complete annihilation of the Lily Whites, Hon. Matt Lewis candidate for U. S. senator and the three congressional candidates all polled a respectable vote and as a result the Democrats for the first time in years carried every district in Virginia. Where there was no colored candidate, the Negro voter supported the Democrat in an effort as the statement issued by Mr. Lewis said, "to assert our political freedom and do the best we can for our own interests and welfare." The four wards in Richmond gave Claude A. Swanson, Democrat, 5266; McGavock 356; and Lewis, Independent, 167. In this district the colored vote went to Montague, Democrat, and he won over Ward by 5,000. C. Bascomb Slemp's district, the 9th, was carried by the Democrats for the first time in 12 years. Slemp's father having held it prior to his ascendancy. Slemp, the leader of Lily Whitelsm, saw the handwriting on the wall and declined to run. Chairman Joseph G. Pollard expressed himself as immensely pleased with the result. He said: "Never before have the Negroes of Virginia had the courage to announce their political independence, and then take the position to have it known that they propose, in the future, to make their indemnence felt. In every State similar movements to this one in Virginia are taking shape, and what the Virginians have done will develop into an important force, and in the next presidential contest the Negro will be in splendid organization to demand their proper recognition." INFLUENCE OF COLORED NEWSPAPER IN POLITICS RECOGNIZED BY ALL Chicago, ILL, Nov. 24.—(Associated Negro Press.)—Attention is directed to the part played by colored newspaper in the recent election. Only a limited number of the papers urged their readers to "Vote the Straight Republican Ticket". The majority of them gave preference to republican news, while a number gave liberal space to news of local democratic candidates, and accepted advertisements from both parties, as the daily papers do. In a few instances, newspapers normally republican, openly opposed certain republican candidates. Editorially the newspapers gave carefully discriminating suggestions; strong republican leaning with a tempting flavor of independence and disappointment. Thousands of voters throughout the country were guided in their opinions by the information obtained in the newspapers of their group. The newspapers were quoted both in editorials and news articles by stump speakers. The great influence of colored newspapers is recognized by all political parties, leaders, candidates and the people themselves. TELEGRAPHS HARDING ASKING PROTECTION FOR TEX. NEGROES New York, Nov. 24.—On receipt of news from Texas that Mexicans and Negroes were driven from their homes in Breckenridge, Texas, and that the Mexican government had protested against the lynching of its nationals in the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately telegraphed President Harding reeving its demand for enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and asking federal protection of colored United States citizens in the danger zone. COLORED MAN WINS FOR N. Y. STATE LEGISLATURE ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET New York City, Nov. 24—One colored candidate won in New York, and his victory was a big surprise. Lawyer Henri W. Shields, Democrat aspirant from the 21st assembly district, was sent to the legislature. Balden, race Republican candidate, made a good run, but the general disaffection from the Republican ticket by colored voters caused his defeat by a few hundred. Oliver Randolph, the only colored candidate in New Jersey was elected to the legislature, while Congressman Parker who voted again- THE MONITOR st the Anti-Lynching Bill, bit the dust. He was fought as bitterly by colored voters as was Layton of Delaware, who bit the dust when Robert Nelson's cohorts took the field against him. Dupont suffered as a result. Harry E. Davis of Cleveland lost for the legislature. The terrific fight against Pomorene by the labor unions nullified whatever colored support he won. Houston, Texas, Nov. 24.—The only Southern Congressman to vote for the Anti-Lynching Bill was Congressman Wurzbach of the 14th district, returned to office Nov. 7 after a hard battle. Wurzbach, who is a Republican brought down the wrath of the white Democrats and Republicans alike on him after he was reported to have addressed a colored meeting in Washington and termed his audience, "ladies and gentlemen." The Democratic candidate, Harry Hertzburg, stooped to every means to defeat him, addressing colored meetings and accusing Wurzbach of tricking a well-known colored woman who applied for a position. The colored vote rallied to the Congressman and he admits his election to their support. FAMOUS NINTH CAVALRY BACK AT FORT RILEY Junction City, Kans., Nov. 24—A special train carrying 204 officers and men of the 9th Cavalry arrived here last Wednesday night from San Francisco and was taken on Thursday morning to Fort Riley, where the unit is to be stationed. The Ninth returned to this country earlier in the month from several years of service in the Philippines. NINTH WONDER OF WORLD HAPPENS IN LOUISIANA When White Jury in Court, After All Night Session, Fails to Agree on Verdict in Assault Case of Colored Man. SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACQUITTAL Lafayette, La., Nov. 24—Wonders are happening in Louisiana courts. After being out all night, the jury in the case of Emile Herbert, young Colored man charged with the murder of Austin P. Landy (white), of Rayne, near Youngsville, last June, failed to agree on a verdict and Judgeg William Campbell declared a mistrial. Attorneys John Kennedy and Sidney Roos, attorneys for young Herbert, urged acquittal on the grounds that Herbert's wife was abused and beaten and knocked from the buggy in which they rode, before he fired upon the assaulting officers. District Attorney Percy T. Ogden of Crowley, failed in his attempt to show that the killing had been done without provocation. Troops from New Iberia, which were summoned to guard the prisoner, were returned home from Lafayette following the dismissal of the jury. GIRL CONFESSES SHE TIED SELF TO RAILROAD TRACK Clearfield, Pa., Nov. 23—Miss Nora Moore, aged 18 years, who has been held in the local jail pending investigation into the story that she had been sold by her mother to a white man who bound her to the Pennsylvania railroad tracks near here, where she was found about five minutes before a fast passenger train was due, has been released after a commission appointed to investigate her sanity declared that she was sane, and she confessed to having tied herself to the tracks. Local jail authorities doubted Miss Moore's statements, but she demonstrated a unique ability to knot her hands behind her back. She was released with instructions to leave this county at once. BERLIN ATTACKS STAND OF BRITISH AGAINST NEGROES Berlin, Nov. 22—"Strange in the extreme" is the caustic greeting of the Tageblatt to the announcement that the British government has prohibited the Battling Ski Joe Beckett fight on the ground that it might arouse dangerous racial feelings and thus damage the interests of the British people. "If black boxes white is is dangerous," remarks the newspaper, "but to let loose blacks of all shades against German soldiers, that doesn't phase the cultural point of view." CHICAGO BANKER RESIGNS Chicago, Nov. 24—A. E. Oison, president of the Washington Park National Bank, has been forced to resign. Directors took action when depositors discovered Olson to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and started a run on the bank. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1922 FRENCH COLONIES DISAPPROVE PAN-BLACK MOVEMENT Express Themselves as Satisfied with the Treatment They Are Receiving Under Present French Administration. IS DISGUISED BOLSHEVISM Prominent Deputy Maintains that Racial Conditions in France Are Entirely Different to Those in United States. Paris, Nov. 23—"French Negroes will take no part in the pan-black revolution preached at the recent meeting of the communist internationale in Moscow," said M. Candace, a colored deputy, to the French parliament from the Island of Guadaloupe. "They know that the Bolshevik wish to use them for their own purposes. As soon as they have done their work the communists will abandon them to white dictators. Among the Negroes represented in Moscow those of American nationality formed by far the largest part because at present they represent the most dissatisfied element of the Negro race. We have heard that the black man's life in the United States is surrounded with hundreds of vexatious restrictions. In France it is different. Here the color line does not exist and Negroes enjoy equality in law as well as in fact." M. Candace, who uttered these words, is one of the ablest orators in the French parliament. For years he has been a member of the chamber of deputies from the West Indies. With a broad high forehead, deep bass voice, and a profusion of hirsute adornments on his face, he reminds one somewhat of the famous black leader, Toussaint L'Ouverture, who founded the republic of Haiti. He has become a well-known figure in France. Braise Diagne, deputy from West Africa, a colleague of M. Candace, has hard words to say against the pan-African agitation initiated by Garvey in the United States. DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR CARRIES HARDING'S HOME TOWN Marion, Nov. 24.—(Associated Negro Press.)—Marion county, home of President Harding, was carried by Donahey, democratic nominee for governor, according to complete returns. The vote was Thompson, republican, 7,847; Donahey, democrat, 7,924. Fess, republican, carried the county for senator receiving 8,060 votes to 7,086 cast for Pomerene. WARNING TO BOSTON Boston, Mass., Nov. 24—Attorney Matthew Bullock, who proposed introducing a bill in the State Legislature making existence of the Ku Klux Klan unlawful in this state, is reported to have received several threatening letters from Klansmen in the South. Attorney Bullock is remembered as having left Atlanta, Ga., shortly after having thrashed a white street car conductor who had insulted him. NEW YORK DAILY PAPER STOPS PUBLICATION New York, Nov. 24—Publication of the Negro Daily Times, a daily paper which has been published in this city for a short while, has been indefinitely suspended. FURNISHED or unfurnished room to rent in private family. 2311 North 28th Street. Webster 5880. Under the title, "Fair Warning", Every Evening, one of the leading daily newspapers of Wilmington, Delaware, in its issue of November 13th, issued an editorial warning the republican party because of the defeat of Delaware's representative in congress, Dr. Layton, by colored voters. The editorial bears out the contention made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and editorially by the Wilmington Advocate that colored voters emancipated themselves in the recent election. The editorial in Every Evening says in part: "It is an undeniable fact, eloquently revealed by the figures of the election, that the Negro voters of Delaware for once demonstrated their freedom from partisan slavery . . . Representative in congress, Caleb R. Layton gained the strong disapproval of Delaware Negroes by his opposition to the Anti-Lynching Bill now pending in congress. They protested in advance against his renomination, but their protests were insolently dis regarded. And at the election of last Tuesday, when the purely political contest was very close, Layton went down to defeat under an adverse majority of more than 6,000. . . Now fair warning is served on the managers of the republican party in Delaware that the Negroes will no longer consent to be mere party chattels, but must be recognized in accordance with their numbers and their voting influence in the party." HAMPTON CONFERENCE FOR BOARDING SCHOOL MATRONS NOVEMBER 27 TO DECEMBER 20 Hampton, Va., Nov. 24.—Hampton Institute will hold a matrons' conference from November 27 to December 10 for the benefit of colored women who have had experience as matrons in boarding schools.

CHURCH DIES IN CALIFORNIA The Rev. James Braxton, who some years ago was pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church of this city, passed away at his home in Los Angeles, Cal., last Wednesday. He was one of the most widely known Methodist ministers in this section of the country, having filled successfully pastorates in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado. His widow and one daughter survive him. His death is sincerely mourned by hundreds who knew him as pastor and friend. $50,000 DAMAGE SUIT FILED AGAINST LYNCHERS Inter-Racial Commission in Georgia Identifies Members of Party Which Attacked Asbury McCluskey Home. CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24—Identification of the members of the white mob which attacked the home of Asbury McCluskey, prominent colored citizen of this community, wounded the man himself and attempted to drive him from the community, has resulted in the filing of a suit for $50,000 against the mobbists, by the Georgia Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation. Under the leadership of Dr. T. J. Wolter, the commission is waging a vigorous campaign against mob violence and injustice, and for the development of a public sentiment that will insure the protection of the life and property of every citizen, irrespective of color. Governor Dorsey's astounding exhibits of lynchings and other injustices were published and widely circulated and created an impression which it is believed will work immeasurable benefit. The Commission has also drafted and is working hard for the enactment of an effective anti-lynching law and are throwing all of their efforts to aid in carrying the Dyer measure through. A vitalized, collective power for good, the Commission has investigated numerous instances of outlawry and mob reign, and are slowly, but none the less surely, inculcating the strong arm of the law into the cases. Already legal aid has been extended in a number of the cases, while others, brought to the attention of these farseeing men and women, have been promised assistance. EXPERT EMBALNER AT Mr. W. B. Meyers, formerly of Hannibal, Mo., who has been in the undertaking business for several years, and holds diplomas from three schools as an embalmer and dermatist, has been engaged as embalmer and funeral director at the Western Funeral Home, which is being conducted by the executor of the estate of the late Silas Johnson. Miss Theodolia Taylor, who was Mr. Johnson's capable and courteous assistant, continues in this same capacity. With these two efficient people in charge the public is assured of the same considerate and satisfactory service which under Mr. Johnson's management gave the Western Funeral Home such a warm place in the hearts of the people in the hour of bereavement.

AFRICAN PRINCE, ONCE VERY RICH NOW SHOVELS COAL Claimant to Throne of Abyssinia by Lineal Descent from Menikilk II Said to Be Laborer at Illinois Capitol. TELLS INTERESTING STORIES Alleged Scion of Royal Ancestry Was Brought to New York City When Boy of Fourteen Years of Age. Springfield, Ill., Nov. 24—A pretender to the trone of Abyssinia by virtue of lineal descent from Menelik II., shovels coal for the State of Illinois, according to the claims of that shoveler, who is known here as T. P. Newman. The story came out when Newman happened to visit the tomb of Lincoln and there signed the visitor's register. "I've lived here since 1882," Newman casually informed Herbert W. Fay, custodian of the tomb, "and I have never been to the tomb of Lincoln before. Guess I'll have to sign my full real name." Knows "Ancestor's" Picture. Fay then drew from a large chest a picture of the African ruler who once thrashed an Italian army. "That's him. That's the old man himself," ejaculated the local prince incognito, registering immediate recognition of the warlike visage. Newman, according to his story, was born in England, where his father was taken by a British general who had captured him in a battle. Newman represented his father as an Abyssinian warrior of the royal blood who was made a virtual slave by the British commander. His mother, he said, was an Abyssinian princess, who was captured at the same time. Wealthy, Arrives in New York When he was an infant his mother took him back to Abyssinia, he said, where enemies spirited him out of the country and sent him to New York with a large sum of money at his disposal. He was only 14 when he reached New York, a wealthy young prince, he said. The wealth soon disappeared in his ramblings over the country. He became a laborer, married, and as the years passed his identity and his ambition to return were lost, he said. He now lives in a cottage here in Springfield and works as a laborer for the state. He is 55 and holds a 33rd degree in colored Masonry. HISTORY DAY BY DAY Friday, Nov. 10—Five thousand Negroes prepared to leave the U.

OUR PHONE—ATLANTIC 1322 PULLMAN PORTERS' GROWING THANK YOU DELTA SIGMA THETA ENTERS SORORITY HOUSE AT HOWARD Significant Forward Movement Made By Progressive College Women of the Race at National Institution. HONORARY MEMBESS ASSIST Sorority Has Nineteen Chapters in Various Colleges Throughout the Country and Has Wielded Great Influence Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.—Another step forward was made in the Negro Collegiate World when the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at Howard University on the first of November opened the doors of its new sorority home at 603 Howard Place, N. W., Washington, D. C. The sorority home is on the university campus and affords to the members of the sorority, who are privileged to occupy it, convenient access to the university buildings and grounds and opportunity to enjoy both the advantage of taking part in every phase of student life at Howard and the pleasure of the close contact to be experienced in living together in their own home. After having made quite extensive preparations the girls of the Delta Sigma Theta now find themselves in a beautifully appointed sorority home. a place where each member of the organization may go and feel that she will find companionable friends at all times. Dining hall arrangements are also provided in the home and other conveniences conducive to the comfort of the girls have been supplied. In addition to the cultured discipline which the members of the sorority observe, in keeping with the ideals of their organization, the girls are fortunate in having Mrs. Ernest Martin, house mother, and Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women of Howard University, to look after their interests and advise them in all necessary matters pertaining to the conduct of the home. The officers of the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, which has undertaken the commendable work of conducting a sorority house, are Mrs. Cathryn G. Robinson, president; Miss Eleanor Harper, vicepresident; Miss Armeita Taylor, secretary; Miss Ethel Jones, corresponding secretary; Miss Martha Jones, treasurer, and Miss Virginia Ruffin, chapain. In all the work which has been done in connection with the arrangements for the sorority home for the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta, much encouragement and help by contribution and otherwise have come from the honorary members of the organization. Among the honorary members of the sorority living washington who were donors and who gave other assistance in providing the home were: Mrs. A. H. Glenn, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Mrs. Mary Church Terell, Mrs. George W. Cook, Mrs. Emmet J. Scott, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, Mrs. D. W. Woodard and others. Much assistance has also come from the members of the Beta Beta Chapter, the graduate chapter of the sorority located at Washington and composed of members of the sorority living in Washington who have graduated from Howard and other schools where there are chapters of the organization. At present the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has nineteen chapters. It was organized at Howard University in 1913 and since its organization its influence has been carried to many of the leading co-educational institutions throughout the United States. Of the nineteen chapters in the sorority three chapters are occupying houses. It is most interesting to note the rapid growth and the helpful influence of such fraternity organizations in the life of the Negro college women. DR.

THANKSGIVING NEXT THURSDAY is the day appointed by the federal and state authorities for returning thanks to God as a nation for the blessings bestowed upon this nation and people. While thanksgiving is a part of every normal man and woman's daily devotional life, or should be, it is fitting that a national day of thanksgiving should be observed. This observance stamps the nation as having at least the religious sense which renders acknowledgement to a beneficent and All-Wise Creator for untold blessings an imperative duty. Unfortunately, the day has lost much of the fervor which originally marked it. Yet this does not, nor can it, wholly obscure the spirit which underlies its observance. The spirit of the day should impel all who realize their respective houses of worship on that day and first publicly return thanks to Him. Worship, sincere and heartfelt, should be the first duty of the day. Then the rest of the day should be devoted to such healthful recreation and social festivities as may suit the taste of each. It is the one national day in which the people of every creed in these United States voice unitedly their recognition that thanksgiving belongs unto God, and that it is the duty of the nation to return thanks. A pious and righteous sentiment underlies the observance of Thanksgiving Day.; and it is the duty of all to observe it and for each, according to his ability to see that he does all within his power to make the day one of genuine thanksgiving for his less fortunate neighbor. THE JAPANESE THE SUPREME COURT of the United States has just handed down a decision which will not help establish friendly relations between the astute and able Japanese and this country. That decision is to the effect that the people of that country cannot become citizens of the United States. This, in our humble opinion, is drawing an invidious distinction between Orientals and Europeans which is unsound ethically and politically, and will, sooner or later, lead to serious international complications. We cannot see the wisdom of welcoming to American citizenship Europeans of an exceedingly low intellectual and in some cases, moral, status, because, forsooth they are classed, rather doubtfully upon a strict ethnological analysis, as "hite", and exclude Asiatics, like Japanese, who represent a highly developed culture and civilization, chiefly upon the ground that they are "non-white" races. Since America has bidden welcome to the various people of the world to come hither and share in her democracy, it seems rather inconsistent to bar her gates to such industrious and frugal people as the sons of Nippon have proven themselves to be. We believe that undesirables of all races and nations should be barred from America, but we do not believe that it is politic, wise or just to single out nations of the Orient or of the Occident, as a whole, and forbid any of those people no matter what may be their moral, financial or intellectual status or ability, from becoming citizens of this republic if they desire to do so. It is rather difficult to understand why any Japanese should want to become a citizen of the United States, but with due respect to the Supreme Court we believe that any worthy member of that nation who desires to acquire this status should have the right to do so, equally with that of Europeans of the same social status. It looks very much as though the United States really fears, as industrial and political rivals, the brainy Japanese.

Not only are members of our group anxious for its passage but all broad-minded Americans who believe that it is a practical step towards restraining mob murder and rolling away this reproach from our nation share in the desire to have this measure passed.

THE MOSAIC TEMPLARS ONE of the strongest franternal organizations in this country is that of the Mosaic Templars of America, with national headquarters at Little Rock, Arkansas. This organization is only forty years old. The story of its wonderful achievements reads almost like a romance. It is a monument to the financial ability of our race. The men at its head have shown themselves to be men of sound judgment, far-sighted wisdom, unusual executive ability, and unimpeachable integrity. The order is growing, by leaps and bounds, as it deserves to grow, and merits the confidence and support of every race-loving member of our group. It offers splendid advantages as a fraternal insurance organization. Its national membership campaign is now on and will continue until December 24th. The Monitor commends this splendid organization to the favorable consideration of its readers everywhere. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY THE ELECTION Country-wide discontent with the administration of President Harding accounts for the Democratic gains in the election. In Maryland the colored voters lined up behind the Republican ticket sufficiently strong to aid in putting over three Republican congressmen out of six. Senator France, Republican candidate for re-election, lost by 20,000 votes, but the defection in his case is the result of a split in the ranks of the white Republicans. The registered Democratic majority in the State is too large for the Republicans to split and still expect to win. In other sections of the country outside Maryland, colored voters in a remarkable way followed the injunction of President Harding to divide their votes between Republicans and Democrats. In New York, fifty to seventy-five per cent of colored voters helped elect Al Smith, Democrat, governor. When the Ku Klux Klan was endorsed by Republicans, 6000 colored voters in Chicago's "black belt" voted for Democratic candidates. In Oklahoma, the colored voters voted for both Democrats and Republicans, and 10,000 Negroes helped swing Missouri back into the Democratic column. The final tally shows that the Republicans lost most of their gains in the South two years ago, and are in a fair way to lose permanently a large part of their colored voters in the large cities.—The Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. A HOPEFUL SIGN The success of four Negro candidates in the recent election presents a most hopeful sign of a better day for the race in this city and state. The election of three constables and one Justice of the Peace was not due to the loyalty of the local Republican party, but it was the result of the Negroes being loyal to themselves. It was fortunate that the Fourth Constabulary district, in which two constables and one Justic ewere elected, the Negroes were in the majority by large numbers, and of course their loyalty was attested by the returns which gave the Negro candidates such nice majorities. The combined vote of the whites, both Democrats and Re-Insurance Commissioners at Lincoln publicans, was not enough to defeat the Negroes in the district. There is no doubt in our minds what would have happened if a trade could have been made without letting the Negroes in on it. A striking example may be seen in the case of Walthall Moore. We are glad to see the Negroes beginning to think for themselves. We are a power in politics in this city and state if we only knew it.—The (St. Louis) Argus. TOO MANY WHITE COLLAR JOBS HAMPER OUR PROGRESS Respect for labor, for work with the hands, is the one greatest need of the Negro race. Education it already seeks and the advantages of it are established. Money is a common aim, for all men. Political power and its allurements have such a strong hold upon the race that our earnest work in that direction is a by-word. Work, every day work, blue shirt, overalls, corn in the hands, and sweat on the brow, is despised to the extent that respect for it is a pressing problem. Too many white collar jobs are being sought by the young Negro of intelligence. The women are giving their preference to "dudes" instead of men. We must face about. By no means would we have the professions and business deserted, but we would have work respected. All men are not fit to become doctors, lawyers and business men. Some are craftsmen by every natural inclination. These must be saved from the folly of seeking public approval rather than following their preference. There is no labor that is to be sneered at, like we are doing now. There is no stamp of merit on any profession, that is worth having just for the title. Most business men are failures. The whole attitude of the race toward hard work is easily accounted for but is none the less excusable. The doting parent wants his children to have an easier time than he had, and in bringing that to pass he unintentionally brands his own manner of making a living as unworthy. Hence our immense crop of misfits, our jibes at hard work, and our eagerness for the white collar job. We are trying to live all in the distributing class, with no producers, and our industry is top-heavy. We must build broader foundations, and to that end, our intelligent men and women must themselves follow their industrial bent and our race councils must devise ways of increasing our number of workers with the hands.—Kansas City (Mo.) Call. NEGRO BREAKING THE TRACES For the first time in our life we saw Harlem Negroes rejoicing over a Democratic victory. While Congressman Martin B. Ansorge and Rev. Bolden polled more than 50 per cent of the Negro vote in Harlem, none of the other Republican candidates polled more than 50 per cent of the Negro votes, and some polled less. President Harding in his Birmingham speech intimated that the Republican party was tired of carrying the Negro and he advised him to divide his vote. Then again he seemed to cater to the Lily White faction of the Republican party in the South and did not appoint colored men to the positions that they held under the Taft administration. Then, too, the Republican Senate did not put over the $5,000,000 Liberian loan and did not pass the Dyer Bill. Then, too, Tammany handed out more plums to black men than the Republicans did when they dominated New York politics. All of these things had their bearing on the actions of the colored voters in the recent election—The (N. Y.) Negro World. WHAT ARE THE JAPANESE? COME OVER ON OUR SIDE AND BE SAVED Mr. Ozawa, a Janapese, has lost a long, hard fight for naturalization under the laws of the United States. Mr. Ozawa contended that he was a descendant of the white tribes of Aisu. The Supreme Court declares in effect that Japanese are not Caucasian. Only Caucasians and Africans can become citizens of the United States by naturalization. H. G. Wells, a very learned and scholarly man, says in his outline of history that the Japanese at one time had a strong admixture of Negro or African blood. Perhaps the wiser course for the Japs to pursue would be to claim kinship with the Negro and get citizenship through the broader and more accessible gate which a claim of Negro blood would create. We have had a suspicion for a long time that some top-heavy Judge would say that the African and Japanese races were Cousins-German. Well, our shoulders are broad. No need for the Chinese or Japanese races to hold out for a third party race. Better make it a two-race fight, white and African, and come over on our side and be saved.—The Western Age Despatch. ROYAL CIRCLE MEMBERS AND PUBLIC--ATTENTION I have learned since leaving Omaha for: a few weeks that some persons who are leaders of other fraternities and insurance companies are spreading propaganda throughout the city that I had closed the office in Omaha, run off with all the money, that the THE MONITOR insurance Commissioners at Lincoln had stopped The Royal Circle from doing business in Omaha, that the Order had gone down, etc., all of which is false, and can be investigated from any source and found to be false. This propaganda has simply been spread to hurt the Order because it has added in Omaha in six months over 1500 members and is going to continue to add them in spite of all talk. This means that on my return to Omaha the last of the month that I will stay until The Royal Circle Hospital is established which will be the first of the year, then all the propaganda put out will amount to nothing. Those who are knocking and making false statements know that the moment a hospital is put there, they will have to change their ways and give the people something for their money instead of taking it all themselves. The Royal Circle gives its members the benefits when living and all alike. It benefits the masses and not the classes. This propaganda was put out to impede the progress of the Circle and to keep the membership there from running to the 2000 mark when a hospital will be put in Omaha. We will have the 2000 by the first of the year—WATCH US. The office was closed because I, as Supervisor of the Western States, would be on the road a great deal, and all Secretaries would make their reports direct to the Supreme Office and not to a branch office, which applies to all jurisdictions and which saves a great deal of money as this expense was unnecessary. These things are why the Royal Circle leads all in taking care of its members, because there is no waste of money to benefit a few. Only last week a Free Clinic was opened in St. Louis to give members there free treatment and medicine. Hospitals in Memphis, Little Rock, Hot Springs, and one in Chicago and Omaha soon. This does not look like the Order has gone down or ever will go down as it is growing each day throughout the country. Supreme President to be in Omaha, Dec. 6th, at St. John's Church Dec. 31st at St. John's Church A big Joint Meeting will be held at St. John's Church on Wednesday night, Dec. 6th, 1922, to make another large class of candidates which is expected to bring the membership of the Circle in Omaha to 2000 or more. The Supreme President and myself will be there and every member must be present and try and have at least ONE Candidate each to bring the membership to 2000 or more. The Triangle Council will also be organized on this night which is the same as a Grand Lodge. This degree will be given by the Supreme President for $1.50, which is the Grand Lodge Degree. All members are expected to take this degree. Joining fee for this night, $3.50 Members pay $1.25 per month and NO TAXES, and receive $7.00 per week for accident or sickness, $300.00 at at death, a monument, free hospital treatment, the advantage of a Loan and Charity Department, Old Folks Home, School and Home for the Or- phans of members. $1.25 pays for all, and you have not a single TAX to pay throughout the entire year. The Circle is 15 years old, operating in all States, membership over 200,000. A. L. RICHMOND, Supreme Supervisor, Western States, DR. R. A. WILLIAMS, Supreme President.

The Saturday Night Serving club reported $19 for building fund. The supper given by Mesdames P. A. Abner and H. Spahn recently at the home of the former for Mt.

The Welfare Drive is on in full swing with teams driving admirably and our group cooperating. Adam Hall's barbeque and refreshment parlors are prospering. A dyeing, cleaning and laundry agency have been added. Messrs Franklin and Nichols at the Grand Hotel are still holding down their benches with satisfaction to all patrons and Max Fearman at the Jennie Edmundson Memorial hospital by his diligence and efficiency is evidently trying to make his services almost indispensable. Mr. Hines, confined at the Memorial hospital for some months with a fractured leg is rapidly improving, and Thomas H. Jones, recently confined here with vertigo, is again in the field. A matter of chief moment here is the replacement of several white mail clerks, who were recently convicted of robbing the mails and sent to Leavenworth, by colored mail clerks at the Union Pacific transfer. The complete story will be given in a subsequent issue. THE COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB The Colored Commercial Club held an animated and enthusiastic meeting last Monday night at the Club rooms at 2414 Maple street. E. W. Pryor presided.

Certain modifications in the constitution and by-laws were suggested but no action was taken thereupon. At a previous meeting of the Club a committee consisting of Calvin Spriggs and Nate Hunter was appointed to visit the business enterprises conducted by our group in the city. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST.

THE OLD FOLKS' HOME Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor The Monitor, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: For some time I have been giving consideration to the needs of the Old Folks' Home. This institution needs the attention of the general public. I made a trip to the Home to find out the conditions. One would have a different feeling were he to make a tour of inspection. As you know the building is old and badly in need of repair. The location is bad and doubtless was not taken into consideration at the time of buying. While it is equipped with a heating plant it is not so piped that it can be relied upon in cold weather to furnish sufficient heat for the old people that are living there. The living rooms on the second floor are occupied by the inmates and the matron has to live on the main floor using a cot or davenport due to the size of the home. There have been some minor improvements since the home was bought. The board is due much credit for the good work that has been done but I feel that I could be of much service were I a member of that board. I have noticed how poorly the balls given for the Home have been attended and am of the opinion that if an earnest appeal was made to the general public it would have some bearing. There has not been enough cooperation and it might be that the "object" has not been fully explained to the public. I feel that the public would attend and the proceeds could be used to buy a supply of food for the winter. The Home has three inmates and a matron and is overcrowded. I have not gone into the full details of how the Home is maintained but feel that it is a worthy cause and needs the co-operation of every race loving Negro in the city of Omaha. For years it has been my pleasure to send out supplies on Thanksgiving and Xmas and I have planned the same this year. I know that others feel as I do about the Home and believe that we can get together and make this Home one of which we all should feel proud. I do not know the number of members on the board but am willing to offer my service to the board as a member if there is a vagancy and the laws of the institution will not be violated by my appointment at this time. I would not advocate the buying or building of another Home at this time, as building material is on the upward trend but that is what is really needed. If the members of the board feel that my appointment as a member would be beneficial I offer my services. FOR RENT—Furnished room for gentleman in strictly modern home. 2310 North 22nd street.

Niblo is s saimp comedian of the type the late Nut Wills’ created in vaudeville. His methods are clean and inoffensive and ( is declared that comedy of the most wholesome kind has made Niblo as much a favorite in burlesque as he unquestionably was on the vaudeville cireuit. Helen Spencer is a fast-working, good looking, agile and high spirited ‘omedienne who made an excellent nusical comedy reputation before she entered vaudeville enroute to her pres- nt station as a featured member of he “Step On It” cast. Miss Spencer will work in special scenes with Niblo, will Jead numbers and also af- ford her own siyle of entertainment in various interludes as the show pro- sresses. Leah White, prima donna, comes to burlesque from - vaudeville. She 1s known as “The California Song Bird” and has created favorable attention for her fine appearance, nice ward- robe and pleasing voice, Anna O’- Donnell, soubrette, will sing and dance her way into the public’s graces Just as she has been doing in other cities with “Step On It”. Versatile Juliette Belmont, who sings, dances and plays skillfully on the violin, and Faith Lamond, a dainty little blond who dances and singg-with becoming srace~ng charm, are two members of this big company who are sure to find great persona favor wit hthe fans.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ‘The “Stop and Go” street signal which is now in use in all large cl- ties was invented by a Negro In 1914. Until recentlf we held 8,352 posi- ions in the service of Uncle Sam and 10,000 in the civil service of the vari- ous states and cities, We have 40,000 houses of worship, worth in the aggregate $76,000,000, end practically one-half of ali the men, Women and children in the race are on the church roils? For the sup- port of these churches we set aside annually from our hard earnings $7,- 700,000, In a generation we have paid THE MONITOR ee $70,000,000 toward our own education. Northern philantrophy has done no more, and sixteen southern states have only done twice as much in fifty years. ‘The Negro soldier ws represented in ‘military service during the world war, in practically every “branch of the including ‘the aviation corps.

Our Father, great and good Jehovah, Who's own Son to mortals came, And whom saints adore in heaven, — Hallowed be Thy holy name. Now we lowly kmeel before Thee, As we pray, “Thy kingdom come,” And we humbly beg for mercy As we say, “Thy will be done.” And “forgive us, Lord, our errors, And transgressions of Thy laws, As we too forgive our brothers, Who offend us without cause. Lead us all from out temptation, Lest we fall beside the way, But deliver us from evil, Save us for the perfect “Day”. ‘To Thy band all power and glory, — Angels round Thy throne attend, And forever in Thy kingdom, / We adore Thee, Lord, Amen. | FOR RENT—Farnished room for’ gentleman in strictly modern home. 2810 North 22nd street. Webster 1105, FED THAN WERE ANCIENTS So Declares Italian Investigator Who Has Been Making Study of Foods. When all the world is complaining of what It costs to buy @ good dinner, as compared to the days before the war, an Italian investigator bas come fobward with the statement that never before have the people been as well fed us at present. Signor Pedrazzoll has analyzed the descriptions, in old writings, of the bundred-course banquets of the Mid die ages, und the recitals of whole cows prepared for the feasters. He finds undoubted exaggeration, and says that when such things did hap- pen so many people sat down to the meal that exch individual portion was very small. Such dinners also were given only in years: of plenty, but more numerous than these were the Jean years. ‘Then “the people were thin and pale, aod at this time orig, inated the expression, “Dighten up your belt.” ‘The Seventeenth century was the golden age for food. During these years potatoes, tea, chocolate and cot- fee were introduced into Europe. Rome claims to be the birthplace of “Cafe au lait.” Arabulant Greeks used to sell coffee from buckets in the streets of Rome. ‘The Romans immediately used this for mizing with safik, and so popular proved the drink that ft soon spread to the whole world. ‘The first coffee house to be opened in Rome was, in fact, called “Tl cutte greco,” and tt may still be seen in the pletureaque ‘Via Condottl. ‘An {dea of how bad was the food fn Middle ages may be had from the writings of Tassoml, in whose verse various menus are described. When the food was not of poor quality in itself, the predominant note in tte Preparation was not with regard to taste, but to display, Spices also were Yery much in evidence, and the dishes often were so highly seasoned as to be neither wholesome nor agreeable.
