HUNDREDS MADE HOMELESS Churches, Schools, Business Places Mills and Factories Destroyed, Throwing Many Out of Employment. Newborn, N. C., Dec. 14—Sweeping before it more than 300 residesences and many factories and warehouses, stores, churches and other structures, the fire which last Friday destroyed more than a million dollars worth of property here was finally gotten under control late Saturday afternoon. Fire companies from nearby towns had to be called in to help subdue the devastating flames. The area razed by the fire stretched for half a mile from the western boundary of the city to the Neuse river. The churches destroyed as most of the homes were those of Negroes. The fire started at the Roper Lumber Company and the loss is variously estimated at $250,000. More than 300 Negroes were thrown out of employment at this plant alone. While the flames were raging at the lumber plant a disastrous fire started in the Negro residential district. Firemen being occupied at the lumber company were unable to respond to the call immediately and it was not until a half hour after the alarm had been turned in that the first hose was stretched in the Negro section. By that time five houses had been completely destroyed, and the flames fanned by a high wind, had gained great headway and scores of other houses were in flames. Negro families were hastily removing whatever belongings they could from their homes, but the onward sweep of the flames forced most of them to abandon their efforts to save any of their household goods. On account of the high wind sparks were carried several blocks and fires were breaking out in various parts of the city. Several persons were treated at various hospitals for minor injuries. It is said that the disaster originated in the home of W. D. Bryan, and started in his kitchen. Dynamite was used repeatedly in an effort to hold back the onward rush of the fire, but this proved to be of little worth. Church rooms, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., with scores of private homes were thrown open to the victims of the fire. In spite of this aid hundreds were forced to spend Friday night in the open, covering themselves with mattresses and blankets or whatever they could. Mayor Clark has requested the State Highway Commissioner to give assistance in sanctioning a road building project that would furnish work to the several hundred unemployed Negroes. He said Governor Morris, Senator Simmons and others of influence would be asked to bring their influence to bear on the commission to grant this plea. The railroad company officials will be asked to start rebuilding immediately to aid the unfortunate victims of the fire. Most of the business establishments destroyed employed Negroes mainly. Carter Taylor, chief of the Southern Division of the Red Cross, who is in charge of the relief work here, issued a statement last Monday in which he said the situation is well in hand, and that every effort was being put forth and precaution taken to prevent any possible epidemics. Mr. Joseph Heady, eighty years of age, the father of Mrs. Herbert Wiggins, wife of one of Omaha's busy physicians, lost his home and the accumulation of a lifetime in this destructive fire. His beautiful home was one of the first to be burned to the ground. VIRGINIAN HEAD OF CO- OP. SOUTHERN LEAGUE (Preston News Service) Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 15—Dr. J. P. McConnell of East Radford, Va., was elected head of the Southern Co-Operative League for educational and social work, formerly the Southern Sociological Congress. He succeeds Dr. P. P. Claxton, who with Bishop T. D. Bratton, C. H. Brough, former Arkansas governor, was named as vice presidents. J. E. McCullough and George H. Lamar, of Washington, D. C., were chosen secretary and treasurer, respectively. THE MONITOR OHIO RACE RELATIONS COMMITTEE MEETS DEC. 17 (Preston News Service) Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 14—The Race Relations Committee of the Columbus Urban League will hold its first of a series of meetings at the Chamber of Commerce on December 17th at 3 p.m. This meeting was postponed from Nov. 26th, because of the inability of out-of-town speakers to be present on that date. The speakers will be President W. O. Thompson of Ohio State University, Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Federal Council of the Church of Christ in America; and Prof. Hubert A. Miller, instructor of Sociology at Oberlin College. Rev. Irving Maurer of the First Congregational Church and Mayor James A. Thomas of Columbus will also deliver addresses. WOODMEN FOSTER BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Denver, Colo., Dec. 16—The supreme officers of the American Woodmen are endeavoring to encourage Negroes throughout the country to become home owners in larger numbers. In accordance with this plan they have devised means for encouraging and assisting Negroes in larger cities throughout the United States to establish Building and Loan Associations. The loan department maintains a trained corp of legal advisers whose services are donated to any group anywhere in the country desiring to establish a building and loan association in accordance with their various state laws. L. H. Lightner, supreme clerk, has just returned from an extended trip taking him to Memphis, Tenn., Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, Chicago and St. Louis, where plans were set on foot for the establishment of Building and Loan Associations under the direction and supervision of the American Woodmen loan department. SPECIAL RATES GRANTED TO ALPHA PHI ALPHA DELEGATES Washington, D. C., Dec. 13—The railroads of the country have again granted a reduced fare to the members of the Alpha Phi Alpha who are to attend the 15th annual convention in St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 27 to 31 inclusive. The rate reduction is based upon the certificate plan of one and one-half fare for the trip and will apply for members and dependent members of their families. It provides that tickets at the regular adult one-way fare be obtained for the going journey on any date from December 23rd to 29th inclusive. When ticket is purchased request is made for a certificate which upon being validated at the meeting by Norman L. McGhee, national secretary of the fraternity, will be accepted with payment of one-half fare for the return ticket. From all indications the coming convention is going to be the most largely attended in the history of the fraternity. Last year 32 chapters were represented, The fraternity now has 44 chapters on its roll and 2,500 members. Many chapters have already signified intention of being represented. The St. Louis convention has been denominated the "Pioneers" convention and a special invitation has been sent to every charter member to be present. Nearly all have signified their intention to be present. New York City, Dec. 8.—The N. A. A. C. P. has received a check for $1,000 toward its anti-lynching fund from the Manam Walker company. Before she died, the late Madam C. J. Walker pledged $5,000 to fight lynching.

EDITORIAL OPINION OF REPRESENTATIVE RACE JOURNALS OF COUNTRY Feeling that Monitor readers would be deeply interested in learning the general attitude of the race press on the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill we have gathered here editorial utterances from several representative newspapers from widely separated sections of the country. The practical unanimity with which the press blames the republican party for its breach of faith and charges it with insincerity is unparalleled in the history of our group. It presents a phenomenon of more than passing moment. We submit without comment the following extracts: **WILLINGLY ACQUIESED** As was to have been expected and as predicted by this paper, the United States senate has compromised with and doffed its legislative headgear to lynch-law, and, in deciding to shelve the Dyer anti-lynching bill, their act can be fittingly and appropriately styled "Lynching the anti-lynching bill." To avoid a threatened democratic filibuster, the republican senators agreed to permit the Dyer anti-mob measure to go by the boards and thus the republican solons, instead of forcing the issue and calling the bluff of the southern democrats, autocrats and lynchocrats, played into their hands and weekly submitted and willingly acquired to a policy of abandoning the proposed bill. It is a lamentable fact that stands out as clearly as the nose on one's face that this country is strong on politicians but rather short on statesmen—Houston (Tex.) Informer. act of congress in this terms. Whoever is in fault, however, the anti-lynching legislation fails of passage, the result is the same—we must push on until human life in the United States is not subject to the whim of mobs. We have failed, but we know our strength. It has been only a few years since the first favorable decision of the United States supreme court. It is just a year since the house of representatives gave us a partial victory in the Dyer bill. All signs point to ultimate victory. We must push on and try again. The real test of our worth as American citizens is our never-say-die spirit. Democracy is not a perfect system of social relations. It has to be guided, and corrected. We who see its shortcomings in our direction are best fitted to suggest the remedy and it is our bounded duty to do that. Whining us nowhere, and deserves only contempt. Our limited success in this first drive against ing in disguise. If it does no more than setting the Negroes to thinking, who can tell what will happen when twelve millions people begin to THINK. It is beyond our fondest imagination to ever predict what a people can do who think—St. Louis Argus. **SOLD AGAIN** "The die is cast," the Anti-Lynching Bill has been relegated to the charnel-house of detunet and immature legislation, there may, hapah, to remain until the "Trump of Doom." So be it. The result is a rebuke to the righteous protest against mob-rule, against organized murder, against progressive lawlessness, against the development of hate and against the destruction of the boasted ideals of Christian civilization. The direct cause is well known, the contributory, easily surmized. Both may be summed up in what John Quincy Adams said in 1842, "When the South cannot effect her IT DID NOT PASS Bring on the "I told you so" crowd, the Dyer bill did not pass the senate. It is useless to hold any inquest over such a corpse. Every one knows how the bill met its death. It may be reported that the democrats filibustered the bill out of the senate chamber. Others may tell you that the filibuster was so scientifically planned that the republicans admitted its effectiveness from the very beginning. But whatever is said by the reporters, the wise ones, and others, the fact remains that the republican party has not kept faith. The Courier holds that the republican party should have passed the bill when it was passing other bills, at a time when republican power was enjoying undisputed control. But it was the scheme of the republicans to wait until the democrats increased their strength and then let a filibuster take the senate by storm as a perfect alibi for the Negroes who are dumb enough to think democrats killed the bill. The Courier holds the republican party responsible for its own failure to keep its platform pre-election promises.—The Pittsburg (Pa.) Courier. The Tactics Used to Derect the Antic Lynching Bill Indicate Its Ultimate Passage Ultimate Passage. Democrats in the United States senate filibustered and republicans acknowledged they could not bring the Dyer anti-lynching bill to a vote and so withdrew the measure so that other business of the nation could go on. Stated in other terms, the defeat of the Dyer bill is due to the fact that one party talked and talked, exhausting in argument against one measure the time which belonged to all legislation. To save what they could, republicans acknowledged their inability to make headway against democrats and gave up trying to pass the bill. Other legislation will now be considered, and lynching will not be stopped by any ska All-High ER ~ MSINTYRE ~ BRONN ball title this fall. This means that nearly 4,000 athletic youth were on the gridiron. Of these there were more than 300 possible eligibles for the coveted honor of a place on the mythical all-state team. To select eleven men from such a list was no easy task. The choice was left to 300 coaches and critics and their verdict act of congress in this terms. Whoever is in fault, however, the anti-lynching legislation fails of passage, the result is the same—we must push on until human life in the United States is not subject to the whim of mobs.

We who see its shortcomings in our direction are best fitted to suggest the remedy and it is our bounden duty to do that. Whining gets us nowhere, and deserves only contempt. Our limited success in this first drive against lynching is a fine beginning and deserves a vigorous second effort.—The Kansas City (Mo.) Call. NO CHANCE TO PASS The Dyer bill is dead and will remain so just as long as the present cloiture (rule) of the U. S. senate is retained, and the senate has worked under it from the very beginning. It is clear now that the bill never had a chance to pass—Cleveland Gazette WHO KILLED THE DYER BILL? The failure of the anti-lynching bill in the United States senate a few days ago can't but make us seriously doubt the sincerity of those who have said they were friendly towards the bill. We have no quarrel with the democrats for the part they played in the defeat of the bill, especially those from the southern states, because it was to be expected that strong opposition would naturally come from that section of the country. Our complaint must be directed against the republicans. It was they who had made the promise. It was they who had the power to pass the bill without the aid of the democrats; it was they in whom we trusted. The defeat of the anti-lynching bill looks very strongly like a "frame up". It was either a frame up or down right cowardice on the part of the republicans. The plea that it was decided to abandon the measure because of filibuster on the part of the democrats, is all buncome. It's merely an excuse (and a poor one) for failure to do one's duty. When you stop to think about it, there was something strange about the proceedings which meant the death of the bill. In order to accomplish this "feat" it was necessary to reverse the majority rule and allow the minority the right-of-way. Or in other words, allow a hand full of democrats to bluff a cow pen full of the "good republicans". After all, who can tell but that this is a bless- Selections has been taken in the above choice.

But moral suasion will yet prevail; and the oppressive conditions which constrained Paul to exclaim "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?" must sooner or later give way to an arousal of the popular heart and conscience upon the broad question of the rights of man. Let us be patient; for we have learned that denunciation and vituperation can take us nowhere, worthwhile; but patient persistence and intelligent and united leadership may do wonders.—Washington (D. C.) Sentinel. THE SENATE FAILS The extra session of the United States senate, in so far as the Negro is concerned, was an unqualified failure. It failed to grant the $5,000,000 Liberian loan, to pass the Dyer antilynching bill, or to confirm the appointment of Walter L. Cohen, as comptroller of customs at New Orleans. Of course, there were other bills that failed to pass and other appointees, who were not confirmed but none of these affected a whole nation, as did the Liberian loan, or a whole race of 12,000,000 citizens, as did the failure of the Dyer bill; yet, there is room for hope and encouragement. There has been more time devoted to, and more discussion of, the injustices practised upon the colored citizens of this country in this congress, and under the present administration, than has happened in twenty-five years. The Dyer bill may come up again after March 4th. But even if it doesn't, a great stride has been made towards its passage, when it, or some similar bill, will be introduced in the near future.

Galloway, the Omaha Central colored Whole Number 388 Vol. VIII—No. 24 WHITE WOMAN ATTEMPTS TO CONCEAL THEFT BY BLAMING NEGRO (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 16—An attempt to account for a shortage of $900 which had been left in her custody led Mrs. Minnie Mitchell (white) aged 35 years, to report details of a robbery in which she is said to have claimed her life was threatened by a "Big Burly Negro" who entered her home and robbed her. Faced with the possibility of arrest, Mrs. Mitchell is said to have finally broken down in her home before the severe questioning of city detectives and confessed that the robbery story was a fabrication of her own imagination and ficticious. Officials were led to make a thorough investigation of her story when the details which she is said to have told the police and detectives were found to differ. In the confession she is alleged to have told the police commissioner that her husband and brother-in-law weekly gave her money to deposit in a bank. This, she said, she spent. When the police first went to her house she stuck to her robbery story until one of the officers told her that she was then under arrest. Then she begged them not to arrest her and then told them the truth about the matter. Commenting on the case the officers said they often find persons trying to cover up misdeeds of this kind by a fake robbery story like this one. TEXAS MAN CONFESSES DERAILING FAST TRAIN (Preston News Service) Mineola, Texas, Dec. 14—In a confession before Prosecutor Harris and witnesses John Johnson declared that he had tampered with a railroad switch with the hope of derailing a freight train due to pass about that time with the hope of obtaining some food stuffs from the freight cars he expected to wreck for his family. But the expected freight was sidetracked at the station below to allow the Sunshine Express to pass and it ran into the open switch resulting in one death and numerous minor injuries to passengers aboard.

QUOTA EXCEEDED—AN AFRICAN PRINCE IS HELE Boston, Dec. 8.—(Crusader Service.)—Because the African immigration quota for November had been exceeded, Henry Kisingirl, age 15, was held by immigration authorities on his arrival from Calcutta on the "City of Benares". Kisingirl claims to be a prince, and says that he would be King of Uganda had not the British deposed his late father. He was on his way to Tuskegee institute. Immigration officials said he was held because he was without a legal guardian and also because the African quota of immigrants for the month had been exceeded. ONTARIO HIGH COURT PRAISSES NEGRO PIONEERS Toronto, Can., Dec. 8—(Associated Negro Press.)—Justice Ridell of the High Court of Ontario in an recent address gave an interesting review of Canadian history. In dwelling upon the many parts played therein by members of our group, the justice declared that Canada could not forget how the colored pioneers hastened to her call during the anxious days of the Fenian Raid in 1866.

Omaha has a distinguished visitor. He arrived from St. Paul, Minn., on Monday and is a guest at the Patton Hotel. He is a stocky, well built man, of good figure, and a pleasant intelligent face. His features are fine and regular and his complexion black, that of "the burnished livery of the sun." And what else would one expect if he were looking for an Ethiopian prince. For this visitor lays claim to kingly descent. His intimate knowledge of the history and resources of Abyssinia, of which Americans know so little, would seem to verify his claim, even were other credentials wanting. He bears the name of Prince W. S. J. Challoughleczilzice. Can you pronounce it? It isn't as hard as it looks—after you learn how. It is pronounced kol-lol-o-zez, with the accent on the second syllable. His native land is Abyssinia. His city Adis Abeba. Get out your latest atlas and look up this interesting country. His father was Kasa, king of Tigre, who put down the revolution of Theodore in the late sixties and took the title of King Johannes II and reigned as King of Ethiopia until the year 1890, when he was succeeded by Menelik H. Sach was the information given The Monitor by this interesting visitor, in a pleasant interview Wednesday afternoon. This is the reason then that he calls himself prince of the royal house of Eethiopia. But while proud of his princely title, it was easy to glean from the conversation that he has another title of which he is equally proud and that is Bishop of the Reformed Coptic Church of East Africa, his district being known as the thirty-seventh ecclesiastical diocese. Prince Challoughlecilcise has spent several months in Canada and has visited the United States two or three times before this but this is his first visit to Nebraska where he expects to remain about ten days or two weeks delivering lectures. He speaks excellent English with the broad English accent acquired by all students of Oxford and Cambridge University, at the former of which he took his degrees, being a student at Merton and Oriole colleges.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILITARY PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE TELEPHONE GRAFT FOR a pure, unadulterated species of graft the Northwestern Bell Telephone company with its special tariff charge to South Omaha is entitled to first prize. The tariff charge to South Omaha is about one cent a minute plus five cents federal tax. The minimum charge for a call to South Omaha is ten cents. The absolute injustice of a tariff for South Omaha, which is within the corporate limits of Omaha, is apparent when it is noted that there is no special rate for either Florence or Benson, also within the corporate limits of Omaha, and there is no more reason for having to pay a special tariff for service to the South Side than there would be for paying one to the North Side (Florence) or the West Side (Benson.) This special tariff for Omaha-South Omaha service is a species of graft, blushing and unconscionable, of which the Telephone company is ashamed, and if it does not stop it, then legal action should be instituted upon the part of telephone subscribers to have it stopped. The absurdity of the Omaha-South Side tariff becomes more apparent when it is known that there is no such special tariff in effect in connection with South Side-Omaha service. In other words, a South Omaha subscriber can call Omaha without having to pay a special tariff, but an Omaha subscriber must pay a special tariff plus "5 cents Federal tax" to call South Omaha. Where is either the sense or justice of such an arrangement? If distance be a deciding factor in discriminating between the three outlying districts, Benson, Florence and the South Side, it is farther from the center of Omaha to the center of Benson and Florence than it is to the center of South Omaha. There is therefore neither justice nor right in this discrimination.

REPUBLICAN DUPLICITY UNPRECEDENTED and significant is the unanimity with which the race press condemns the republican party for the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the United States senate. With a fearlessness and independence that is really refreshing, even publications like the Pittsburgh Courier, which has been an outspoken adherent of the administration, almost unanimously excoriate the republican leaders for their abject surrender of this important measure and the repudiation of a sacred pledge to hundreds of thousands of loyal adherents. Most of them point out, as did The Monitor in our last issue, the patent fact that with a few notable and outstanding figures like Senator Shortridge of California, Senator Willis of Ohio, New of Indiana and George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania, who expressed their willingness to keep up the fight until March 4, if necessary, the great majority of republican senators were either overtly opposed to the measure or only half-hearted in its support. This lukewarm attitude has deceived nobody. Far better had it been for those senators who professed that they favored the measure to have frankly stated that they were opposed to it than to have attempted to hoodwink their constituents, for then they would have been respected for their honesty as they are now justly condemned for their duplicity. Senator Lodge, who was only saved from defeat in Massachusetts by the loyal support of the colored voters upon his plighted to stand by the Dyer Bill, proved himself merely an opportunist. So did nearly all the "old guard" and stand-patters. Their heart was not whole in this matter. Their duplicity will doubtless prove a blessing in disguise. 'Sup It will open the eyes of our people that they may see more clearly to determine upon an independent political course which will have a most important influence upon the genesis and development of a new political party. "A CLEAN PLAYER" SPORT writers in the Sunday edition of the three Omaha dalles in selecting the mythical all-state football team from the more than 150 high schools in Nebraska dwelt upon the fact that among the coaches and critics throughout the state who joined in making this selection the verdict was virtually unanimous for Galloway, the stellar fullback for Central, Omaha on the all-star state eleven. It is stated that the selection had to be made from about 300 outstanding gridders and that Galloway received more votes than any other player. He was practically the unanimous choice for right half back, his speed and ability fitting him better for this position, in the opinion of critics, than that of all-state fullback, for which position he also polled a heavy vote. It is noteworthy that on the first, second and third all-state teams, a colored star was given place. Thomas of Central was placed on the second team, Lewis of Lincoln on the third. One group of critics selected two colored boys for the first team, Galloway and Lewis. But as to Galloway's right on the first all-state eleven there was no doubt in the mind of any. He won it fairly by his unquestioned ability and clean sportsmanship. There was a significant statement made by all three writers above referred to which should make us all proud of Galloway. It was this, in substance: "Galloway is a clean player, who always plays fair, speedily wins the respect of his opponents and knows how to conduct himself on and off the field." This is a splendid and deserved tribute to a fine specimen of our young manhood. "A clean player." This means one who plays the game according to the rules and never resorts to mean and dirty tricks to get the best of his opponent. "A clean player" is a clean thinker and a clean thinker is a clean liver, and these are what the race and the world need today. The clean player on the gridiron will be a clean player on life's field. OVERTHROW OF INJUSTICE "Colored Americans have but one desire: an all-united movement on their part is to bring about a realization of that desire—the overthrow of injustice. The mockery of fair play and justice to which they are subjected is making of them a race of cynics. This is true in all parts of the land and among all the various classes of the entire group. It is fraught with seriousness because sects and isms from other parts of the world, where colored prejudice is an unknown quantity, are taunting these black peoples with unanswerable arguments about the conditions and treachery in America."—H.

Dr. Peck was the honor guest on this occasion and preached two very impressive sermons at morning and evening services. in the morning he charmed his hearers in that gentle manner so typical to him, convincing them that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". At night he bade them in forceful and eloquent tones, to "Lift up thine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh all thy strength". Both sermons were simple, practical and impressive. It is to the efficiency of Rev. W. C. Williams that this achievement, so far, is credited. He is now beginning his sixth year of pastorate, having in the last five years raised the standard of Methodism, both numerically and financially. He has been instrumental in increasing the membership of the church from 390 to 1,500, as well as acquiring the five pieces of real estate holdings, valued at $65,200, compared with one piece of property, valued at $11,000. This record itself places him in a class by himself as a financier in the A. M. E. church. Not only is Rev. Mr. Williams active in religious affairs, but he is also a potent factor in the commercial and civic welfare of the race, having lent free aid in helping our citizens to acquire personal property and places of business. He was instrumental in making possible a factory where our women were given their first opportunity to demonstrate to the businessmen of the other group their ability to master textile industry. So satisfactory did this experiment result that there now stands to our credit a threestory building where seventy-five of our women are employed. Altogether, the Rev. Mr. Williams has been a blessing to the church and community at large. As tangible evidence of this the church is tendering Rev. and Mrs. Williams a banquet and reception at the Y. M. C. A. building, Friday evening at 8:30. The public is invited. MRS.

KU KLUX KLAN GARB BARRED IN LONDON London, Dec. 14—That Britishers do not want un-American activities to spread in England is evidenced by the recent debarment of klan garb at a mask ball. An echo of the Ku Klux Klan war in America gave a dramatic finish to the gayest three arts ball in London's history. The Convent Garden theatre was crowded with merrymakers when Inspector Grosse of the Scotland Yards, sauntered in evening clothes across the floor and laid hands on the shoulder of a dancer garbed like a Ku Klux Klansman. The man was taken to Bow Street police station without removing his hood, and detained on a charge the nature of which was not made public at the time. At the hearing the prisoner was told that wearing this sort of garb would not be tolerated in England even at a masque ball. English people do not want any klan methods or measures in the dominion, the judge told the man. The most welcome of all gifts at this time of the year.

Finally, the Negro, or any other race or group, has little to hope for politically until it can exercise the right of the ballot—the right guaranteed every native born or naturalized citizen of the United States. Of course, one group—and only one—of citizens in this country is unjustly deprived o fthis right, although they have always proved their loyalty to Old Glory in time of peace, and have shown their patriotism on a thousand battle-fields in time of war. But injustice cannot last forever; might must eventually give way to RIGHT.—Shreeveport (La.) Sun. (And this from the influential national white weekly, The Nation, of New York:) VICTORY FOR REACTIONERY FORCES The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is dead; long live the next anti-lynching bill! The Republican leaders, whose only interest in the bill was a desire to pacify their Negro constituents, surrendered—as, according to Washington rumor, had been prearranged—to the blustering filibuster of the Southern Democrats. The defeat of the bill is a victory for the reactionary forces of the white South, a victory, in effect, for lynching. Senator Overman of North Carolina stated an absolute falsehood when he declared that "the decent hard-working Negroes of the South enjoy every safe-guard of the law." They do not. Nor is it true, as he asserted, that they neither wanted nor needed Federal protective legislation. Yet the campaign for the bill is not wholly lost. The ghastly facts of lynching have been advertised to the American people; the lies about the causes of lynching have been exposed; more people than ever before realize America's national shame. When the colored people make their next effort at self-protection we hope they will not rely again on the old guard of republicans but will seek the aid of the progressive group. Senator Borah, who believed against his will that the Dyer bill was unconstitutional might be willing to lend his aid in discovering an even more satisfactory method of Federal protection.

The anti-lynching bill is not remote in its import from matters that affect the Ku Klux Klan. Lynching is in the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan, and an anti-lynching law at this time would be considered a welcome set-back to the hooded fraternity. We find, instead of the support which the measure merits, a policy of filibustering on the part of leading democrats. Senator Underwood tries to delay action by giving notice that no other business in the house would be transacted until the antilynching bill had been withdrawn. Senator Harrison puts his own spoke into the wheel by asking for a detailed reading of the journal of the day preceding. Senators Underwood, Swanson and others aid him in holding off consideration of the bill. It is a sorry spectacle, especially when it is understood in its relation not to the merits of the case, but to the merits of voting values. Democrats are forever playing for their part of the southern vote—the anti-Negro sentiment, the heritage of more than half a century. And at a time when the country is thoroughly disgusted with the record of lawless Negro murders, and disturbed by the possibility of their increase because of the Ku Klux Klan propaganda, the politicians play their ancient game independently of the need of the country.—Der Tag (New York Jewish Daily). DISSATISFACTION IS DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL AMERICA Belize, Br. Honduras, Dec. 8—The large Negro population of this undeveloped British Crown Colony in Central America are dissatisfied with their present political status and the operations of the system of Crown Colony government. Under present conditions the people who produce wealth, pay taxes and make the colony what it is have practically no voice in the management of their own affairs and are subject to the whims and wishes of appointees from Downing street. That this condition shall not be suffered forever is the determination of the younger generation who refuse to be bamboozled by propaganda about Africa when they know that they form a majority of the population of this large, fertile and immensely rich territory in the western world. WIFE COLORED, HE SAYS, IN SUIT FOR DIVORCE New York, Dec. 10—Alleging that his wife had forgotten to supply him with her family genealogical tree, and had therefore kept from him her knowledge that she possessed Negro blood, one John Stovall, a white insurance broker of 2261 Andrews avenue, Bronx has broken into the newspaper columns by seeking before Supreme Court Justice Faber to have his marriage annulled. The Stovalls have been married and living together for a year. They were evidently fairly successful in their negotiation of the rocky road of matrimony until old ubiquitous Mother-in-Law sprang the coup in the traditional fight between son's wife and son's mother and handed Cupid the count by her revelation that Mrs. Stovall was of Negro blood. Mrs. Stovall, who is only 20 years old, takes the position, through her attorney, that as nobody had ever questioned her as to her race ties she had felt no obligation to boast of her possession of the blood of the Pharaohs. Justice Faber directed that the case be tried next month. In the meantime speculation is rife as to whether the courts could stand the burden if every wifie and every hubby with the least drop of Negro blood in their veins were sued for separation. It is said that thousands of light colored people are at present "passing" and that somewhere between one and two millions apparently white people have colored blood in their veins, themselves apparently unaware of the fact.

The Egyptian cabinet has resigned owing to a disagreement with the British intruders regarding the Soudan. The Egyptian government desired to include in the new constitution two clauses specifying that the king of Egypt was sovereign of the Soudan, and the Soudan integrally Egyptian. To this the British land-grabbers objected. It is expected that Zaghlouist (nationalist) influence will dominate the next cabinet and that the new ministry will primarily demand a clearer understanding of the limits of British authority in the Nile valley.
