SOME GENSURE; SOME AGREE Colonel Watts, the Alleged Culprit, Delivered Speeches Against "Social Equality" and Negro Domination. Raleigh, N. C., March 1—One of the biggest scandals ever visited upon this state was released late Sunday night when police officers visited the apartment of Col. A. D. Watts, commissioner of revenue for the state and discovered there a young colored woman, whom the Colonel concealed under a couch in his rooms when the officers arrived. The woman in question came here from Statesville, Watt's home town, and the police suspected that she and the state officer were carrying on illicit relations, clandestinely. Col. Watts and the young woman were placed under arrest upon charges of immoral conduct preferred by the police. Immediately after his arrest the commissioner admitted his relations with the woman and tendered his resignation to Governor Morrison. It was accepted by the governor at once. Col. Alston D. Watts has for forty years been a "wheel horse" in democratic politics in North Carolina. He has taken an important part in every strenuous campaign during that time and has held many important public offices. He is a personal friend and political associate of Gov. Morrison. In the heated campaign to disfranchise the Negro vote in North Carolina Col. Watts covered the state denouncing the Negro and painting sorrid pictures of "social equality" and Negro domination. The affair has stirred both races in the state to resentment and moved the thinking people to shame. Many of the leading democratic papers have severely condemned Col. Watts, while others have sought to minimize his offense as being merely a "personal affair." WHITE RACES MUST STOP FIGHTING OR LOSE THEIR PLACE Unless Hostilities Cease Senator Sees White Supremacy Replaced By Power of the Darker Races. Washington, March 2.—Senators who declare for disarmament conferences, yet oppose the league of nations, may be "smart men", but "historically are fools". Senator Sharp Williams told his colleagues of the senate in a characteristic address. The Mississippi senator asserted his opinion that the white races of the world must stop fighting one another and combine to preserve white supremacy or eventually a yellow race or a black race will gain the ascendancy. Senator Williams criticizes France for what he termed that republic's disregard of tendencies of color in races as evidenced by the occupation of the Ruhr. "The strength of Christianity rests not upon the crucifixion, but upon the resurrection," said Senator Williams, "and it is of the resurrection I would speak." STREHLOW'S ANTI- KLAN BILL MEETS DEATH IN SENATE Committee of Whole Permit It to Peacefully Expire Without the Formality of Roll Call. Lincoln, March 2.—The anti-Klu Klux Klan bill, which passed the house some time ago, died in the senate committee of the whole Monday afternoon without the formality of roll call. The bill, introduced in the house by Representative Strehlow of Omaha, has been amended to include the names of Tomek and Gumb in the senate, who were also sponsoring a similar bill. Tomek, in the course of discussion, defended the bill on the grounds that it prevented illegal action by mobs, but on questioning by Senator Robbins admitted it was (Continued on Page Four) THE MONITOR Washington, D. C., March 2.—The Jéfferson Davis chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy has asked Congress to appropriate money for a site for a monument to Negro mammies. A bill to that effect has been favorably reported. George E. Cannon of Jersey City writes to the New York World concerning this movement as follows: The present Senate, led by Harrison of Mississippi, Heffin of Alabama and Overman of North Carolina, has just recently ignominiously defeated the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, designed to protect human life in all parts of the United States and the Negro's life in the South in particular, and now for this same Senate to vote a site for a black mammy's monument would come with very poor grace to the millions of black citizens who asked the passage of the Dyer Bill. Should the Senate forget itself long enough to vote the site, then the sculptor should design a monument showing the children of the black mammy Jim Crowed, segregated, disfranchised, peonaged, denied proper public school education, lynched and burned alive—and all this as the reward of the black mammy's devotion. The erection of such a monument would only serve to prove how hopelessly the South is wedded to the dead past. If the Senate wants to do something worth while, let it vote a site and monument to the patriotism of the Negro that never produced a traitor. EAST INDIANS ARE NOT WHITE Washington, D. C., March 2—A high caste Hindu is not a "free white person" within the meaning of the naturalization laws and, therefore, under the recent decision of the court excluding Japanese, is not entitled to citizenship, the Supreme Court held today in an appeal brought by the United States against Ghagat Singh Thind. RACE RANKS HIGH IN UNITED STATES WITH INVENTIONS Colored Americans Hold Patents or More Than Two Thousand Useful Inventions of Varying Value. INVENTIONS ARE EXTENSIVE Tuskegee Speaker Cites Examples of Rapid Progress in Literature, Music, Science and Art. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 2.—That the American Negro has contributed substantially to civilization and to the development of America was demonstrated by the exercises held in the Institute Chapel, Wednesday evening, February 7, at which members of the senior class related the achievements of the Negro in various directions. The evening, which is designated as "Negro Night" was devoted to orations on the Negro's contributions to science, art and literature, and to the progress of the race in business, education and journalism. The music rendered consisted wholly of compositions of such Negro composers as Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Harry T. Burleigh and Nathaniel Dett. Conspicuous among the orations was that of Eugene Harris, of Greenwood, Mississippi, on Mechanical Arts and the Negro. Harris pointed out among the worthy achievements of the Negro in this direction that the first clock constructed in America was made by a Negro, Benjamin Banneker, of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1754, and that Negroes today hold patents on more than 2,000 inventions, including: agricultural implements, wood and metal working machines, land conveyances, sea-going vessels, electrical devices and mechanical toys. Another oration which was of special interest was that of Lucius Patton, of Montgomery, Alabama, on "The Growth of Negro newspapers". Patton traced the progress of the Negro in the field of journalism from the appearance of "Freedom's Journal" in 1827 to the present day when Negroes are publishing more than 400 publications with a combined circulation of more than 3,000,000. Other speakers were: Miss Pearl Lewis, "The Negro in Music"; Miss Eudora Holmes, "The Negro on the Stage"; Miss Nina Hall, "The Negro in Fine Arts"; Charles Reynolds, "The Importance of the National Negro Business League"; Miss Virgle Smith, "Reducing Illiteracy Among Negroes"; Miss Katherine McNeill, "Negro Authors", and William Stewart, "Race Adjustment". OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1923. From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back Experiences and Observations of the Editor on Trip to Southland Where He Saw Many Things of Interest Big Events in the Lives of Little Men CASHIER WISH I HAD STARTED SAVING WHEN I WAS HIS AGE THE DAY YOU STARTED A SAVINGS ACCOUNT (Copyright, W. N. U.) DELAY IN BRINGING COL. YOUNG'S BODY HOME Xenia, Ohio, March 2.—Inability of the Liberian government to spare Captain Wm. D. Neighbors, U. S. A. to leave Monrovia or Lagos, was declared by the War Department as the reason of the delay in bringing the body of Colonel Charles Young back to America for burial in Arlington cemetery. Mrs. Ada M. Young, widow of the Colonel, was advised that Carlton A. Wall connected with the American Legation at Monrovia, would be sent to Lagos and superintend the exhumation and transportation of the remains. MEXICANS DENY LYNCHING Juana, Mexico, Mar. 2—Mexican authorities denied that Chester Carlton, an American colored man, had been lynched here recently. Having promised to go to Arkansas, when I was getting ready for the trip I naturally began to look up the best route. Going to the Consolidated Ticket Office I was told I could make the best time by taking the Missouri Pacific's "Rainbow Special." This meant that I could leave Omaha at 8:05 one morning and reach Little Rock the next morning after 7, making the trip of about 800 miles in approximately 24 hours. This was quite satisfactory. It meant all night on the train. Knowing that Oklahoma and Arkansas have a "Separate Coach Law," better known as "Jim Crow Car Law," I was next interested in knowing if I could secure a Pullman reservation. Mr. Blendorf, our gentlemanly local agent, advised me that there would be no difficulty about that, and made my reservation for me from Kansas City to Little Rock. I therefore purchased my ticket and my reservation at Omaha. It will subsequently appear why this explanation is necessary, and just where it comes in. My reservation was "Lower 5, Car. No. 15." Some day a thrilling novel—who knows?—may be written with this title and prove a great seller. I made the inquiry about my reservation and just what I might expect in the Sunny South, because when I promised to go, I had made up my mind to submit to such peculiar requirements and inconveniences in travel as that section puts upon our people, but only such as I was compelled to. If I had to sit up all night in a couped-in and narrow-partitioned "special coach for colored," I would do so, but if I did not have to do this I would not, but would travel in such comfort as I might be able to afford. The trip from Omaha to Kansas City was uneventful in the main, and yet full of interest; for I take keen delight in meeting and studying people; and even on a short railroad journey I see and hear and learn a whole lot. One has only to keep his eyes and ears open and he can learn much A WHITE MAN JOINS CHURCH, THEN CONFESSES CRIME LAID ON NEGRO Blood Hounds Had Led Trail to Home of Colored Man But No Goods of Theft Could Be Found. Danville, Va., March 2.—(Preston News Service). — About thirteen months ago Jones' store at Dry Fork was robbed. Bloodhounds were used to apprehend the thief. They went to the home of an aged Negro and stopped. This man's home was thoroughly searched and none of the stolen goods could be found and after considerable detective work watching the activities of the Negro no clews as to his guilt could be established and the case was never brought to attention of the grand jury for lack of evidence. Recently a "holiness revival" struck Dry Fork and several ska to Arkan reservations of the Editor He Saw Many Things of on a railroad train. And then, too somehow I experience little difficulty in getting acquainted with people. Perhaps it is because I am seldom "grouchy" and if I am grouchy, the other fellow doesn't know it. Be that as it may, I have made some pleasant acquaintances on trains. Among other things I find that the men of our group who are in the employ of the various roads as porters and waiters—some day they will come into the rightful promotion as conductors and other officials—are as a rule men of observation, good sense and decided ability. They have keen, alert, well-furnished minds. Many of them, too, are saving their money, buying homes, and planning to go into some line of business. There is one incident en route to Kansas City which shows how superficial race prejudice really is and how environment moulds conduct. At Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, a large number of passengers boarded the train, among them being some officers and soldiers. A handsome, well built young sergeant sat down beside me. Presently he said with the unmistakable Southern dialect: "Do you know what time this train is due in Kansas City?" I courteously replied to his question. We soon fell into a pleasant conversation, in the course of which I learned that he was a native of Savannah, Ga., whither he was now bound after an absence of five years, spent in the army in Russia, China, the Philippines and other parts of the Orient. He told me many, many interesting things concerning those countries. When we parted at Kansas City we warmly shook hands, wishing each other a pleasant journey; both expressing pleasure at having become acquainted. He learned my name and I learned his. As we parted I could not help but think, had we been in Georgia, this splendid young fellow would not have shared my railroad seat or engaged in conversation with me on subjects which we found mutually agreeable. Or is he one of those ts in the Lives of hundreds of white persons were converted. One evening last week a prominent white man came to Mr. Jones and told him that the Negro was not guilty of robbing the store last year, but that he was one of a party of three who did the robbing. He said, "Jones I just had to come to tell you since I got religion my conscience plagues me so. Please don't prosecute me or make this public as I will pay you for the goods. I cannot tell the names of the other men, but they have got religion too and maybe they will come and confess to you." STEVENS RESIGNS Philadelphia, Pa., March 2.—On the ground that no self-respecting colored man would serve on the trustee board of Cheyney. Training School State Representative Andrew F. Stevens sent his resignation to the governor. men so broadened by his travel and contact with other men and civilizations that he has risen above the narrow traditions and provincialisms of one's peculiar section which imprisons our real self? I wonder. The Omaha train reached Kansas City's magnificent Union Station at 3:50. The Little Rock-Hot Springs "Rainbow Special" was waiting scheduled to leave at 4. Reaching the Pullman conductor and porters, who as customary were standing outside, I said: "Car 15, which is it, please?" The conductor, a portly, stocky fellow, with a German caste of countenance, looked quizzically at me and said: "Some mistake, some mistake; where's your ticket?" "Here it is, sir." He looked at it and shook his head, saying "Not over the Kansas line, not over the Kansas line." I said: "What's the matter with that ticket?" "Don't you know what the law is?" he replied. "Yes," I said, and handing my bag to the porter, whose name I subsequently learned was Charles Braxton, I followed him into the Pullman and took my seat. Soon the train started and we were off for Arkansas. In due course of time the Pullman conductor began to collect the tickets, and it was not long before he got to me. It was very evident, from his surly look and manner, that he did not intend to let me occupy my berth "not over the Kansas line"—if he could prevent it, and from the manner in which he approached me, he doubtless thought he could. But I shall have to keep you waiting until next week to tell you of My Controversy with John Stall, Pullman Conductor . on the Rainbow Special, and How it Came Out. I wonder if you can guess how it came out. Which John would you bet on? Don't be too sure. Wait until next week and see. PREME ME AFRICAN PRINCE ASTOUNDED AT MORAL LAXITY IN U. S Chicago, Ill., March 2. -While spending a short visit in this city last week Prince Bulawa Cetewaye commented in part as follows on American ways and moral standards: "I think your American standards of morals are too loose. I have observed this in both races here. Maybe these women you call flappers are responsible. We do not have them in our country. My country is almost as thoroughly civilized as America. Most Zulus go to church on Sunday. And morally they are the finest people in the world. Commercialized vice is unknown. In parts of Africa where such conditions exist, they are the products of the Anglo-Saxon." SCHOOL BOARD EMPLOYS COL-ORED WOMAN THEN BARS HER BUT MUST PAY HER ANYHOW Trenton, N. J., Mrch 2.—(Associated Negro Press.)—Holding that the Board of Education of Riverside township did not exercise du diligence or did not act with proper prudence when it inadvertently selected a colored woman to teach in a school for white children, Assistant Commissioner of Education Strahan, has decided that the board must pay to Mrs. Nancy Wesley White colored, a salary of $100 a month, dating from September 5, and continuing until the official termination of the board's contract with her AMHERST BARS NONE Boston, Mass., March 2.—More than three hundred fifty graduates of Amherst at the annual banquet of the local Alumni Association applauded Rev. Jason Pierce of Washington, D.C., when he declared he was proud of the fact that Amherst has kept open door to all races without regard to color. Dr. W. W. Peebles, Omaha's well known dentist, is an alumnus of Amherst. MAN KILLS WIFE AND TRIES TO FIX CRIME ON NEGRO Reports to Police That He Killed Colored Chauffeur Who Had Attacked His Wife. DYING WOMAN TELLS TRUTH Declared That Husband Shof Herself and the Chaufeur—The Latter in Recovering From the Gary,印, March 1—Harry Diamond white, known here and throut northern Indiana as an alleged booze runner, after persuading his wife, Nettie, and his colored chauffeur, William Armstrong, to take out life insurance policies payable to himself, tried to kill them both here last week. A month ago Mrs. Diamond drew up a will leaving $20,000 and her property to her husband. A week ago Armstrong secured the life insurance policy. Diamond then had the chauffeur drive his wife and himself to a lonely spot on the Chicago road outside of Gary, where he shot Armstrong in the head. He then shot her three times. Leaving the chauffeur lying by the roadside he drove to a drugstore in East Chicago with his wounded wife and reported the colored man had shot Mrs. Diamond and that he killed him in self-defense. Mrs. Diamond cried out: "That isn't true. Arrest him, he shot us both." Diamond is held. Mrs. Diamond and Armstrong were taken to Mercy Hospital in Gary. The chauffeur is recovering, but The chauffeur is recovering, but Mrs. Diamond is dead and her husband is charged with murder. EGYPT IS IN REBELLION AGAINST BRITISH ARMY Englishmen Are Attacked at Every Opportunity Wherever They Show Their Faces. Cairo, Egypt, March 2.—On top of the political crisis which is still unsolved come the attempted murders of several Britishers and a series of co-ordinated uprisings in widely separated districts. All these blows are aimed at the tottering British authority in Egypt and are made by the Egyptian workers. The British have appointed a military governor for the district of Cairo and have cordoned it with soldiers. Police stations have been made into military barracks, with sandbag protection. --- 399 Vol. VIII—No. 35 COURT The Arkansas case originated in the riot of 1919, when it was asserted that the colored farmers in and near Phillips county, Arkansas, had conspired to "massacre the whites". A personal investigation of the riot made by Walter F. White, who was sent to Arkansas by the N. A. A. C. P., disclosed that far from planning a "massacre", the colored farmers had been organized to employ a lawyer to compel settlements from their landlords who were holding their tenants in a state of peonage or debt slavery. During the riots some 250 innocent Negroes, men, women and children, were hunted and shot down in the Arkansas cane brakes, posses of white men coming from Mississippi and Tennessee to join in the hunt. The colored men arrested were beaten and tortured to make them testify, sixty-seven were sentenced to long prison terms and twelve were sentenced to death. The cases of all the men sentenced to death hige upon the cases of the five whose convictions have been reversed by the United States Supreme Court. PROMINENT WRITER PREDICTS FUTURE FUSION OF RAGES ```markdown ``` GROWING THANK YOU ARKANSAS CASES ARE REVERSED BY SUPREME COURT Fight for Neonage Victims Carried to United State Supreme Bench Results in Satisfactory Reversal. National Advancement Association Scores in Brief Argued by Moorfield Storey and Scipio Jones. New York, March 2.—The five Arkansas peons, condemned to death by Arkansas courts in connection with the riots of 1919, whose cases the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has fought through five courts including the Arkansas Supreme Court, will not be executed, according to a decision rendered by the highest tribunal of the land on February 19, setting aside the conviction of these men. The Supreme Court's decision takes the cases of the condemned colored farmers out of the jurisdiction of the State of Arkansas and requires the United States District Court to examine into the attempt to railroad these men to death. The Arkansas cases constitute the center of a fight being made to bring the facts of peonage in the cotton-raising sections of the United States to light, and to bring federal pressure to abolish that evil. In the legal battle for defense of these men the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has raised $14,572.42 and already spent $14,115.74, besides thousands of dollars raised and spent by the colored people of Arkansas who were vitally interested in the fate of their comrades. The victory before the Supreme Court is due to the courageous and untiring labors of Scipio A. Jones, a colored attorney of Little Rock, and to Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. P. who appeared before the Supreme Court in Washington on January 9, 1923, to argue the cases. In the brief filed before the Supreme Court by Mr. Storey, it is charged that the courts of Arkansas, including the Arkansas Supreme Court, the newspapers, leading white citizens and clubs, conspired or connived at a conspiracy to railroad these colored farmers to death. Lothrop Stoddard Sounds Note of Warning That Absorption of the White Rave by Darker Is Highly Probable. Columbus, Ohio, March 2.—That the white race will be absorbed and fused with those of darker color, unless precautionary measures are taken, is the prediction voiced in an address here on "The Rising Tide of Color" by Dr. Lothrop Stoddard. Declaring that the non-white races increase numerically much more rapidly than the white race, Dr. Stoddard said that for the next generation or two—until influences accompanying civilization have had a chance to stem the birthrate—"there will be a 'heaping up' of colored men all over the world.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED BANK OF NEW YORK FIRST IN SERVICE LAST Sunday afternoon the city auditorium at Lincoln was packed by an audience to hear an address by a ministerial representative of the much-advertised association of cockroaches, commonly called the Ku Klux Klan. Every time we read a report of one of these meetings we are amused. The seriousness with which the chief actors in this high comedy take themselves strikes us as particularly funny. The report of the Lincoln meeting is no exception. We are told that "a religious and patriotic atmosphere was given to the proceedings by a flag-draped rostrum, an opening with the singing of 'America,' the words of which were printed in large letters for the assembly to read, and by the repeating of the Lord's Prayer, led by F. L. Cook, Kleagle of the local klan, who introduced the speaker." Now the thing that strikes us as really funny about this "religious and patriotic atmosphere" is the unreligious and unpatriotic sentiments of the "reverend" orator who apparently was innocently—ignorantly, who the better word—unconscious of the incongruity of his utterances with this "religious and patriotic atmosphere." Religion and patriotism should draw men together and move them to work for the betterment of humanity. They should broaden men's visions and sympathies. But this reverend gentleman proclaimed a creed of hatred and suspicion and with evident pleasure stressed the fact that only 120,000,000 are eligible to membership in this organization of the elect, which is limited to "white, native born, gentle protestants." This excludes only about 105,000,000 of us, who according to the creed of the cockroaches, are not worthy to be considered "100 per cent Americans," and against whom opposition and distrust must be directed. He painted in startling colors the great danger America is in from those of us who are not "white, native born, gentle protestants," and urged upon his hearers, many of them sympathetic and members of the legislature, if you please, the duty of saving America from this motley array of "aliens", who pay taxes, bear arms and do a citizen's full duty, but who have to be vigilantly watched. Well, we opine that the little bunch of us who are not "white, native born, gentle protestants" will be able to get along tolerably well despite our ineligibility to membership in the Kluxes. In the meantime they can go on taking themselves seriously for they seem to get a good deal of pleasure out of it and continue to kid themselves that they are religious and patriotic. To the great mass of sensible Americans they will continue to be regarded as a huge joke. KILL KLAN BILL THE Nebraska Senate killed the Strehlow anti-Klan bill Monday. It was permitted to ignominiously die in the Senate Committee of the whole without the formality of a roll call. The reason for this is apparent. It would have placed the senators on record and some of those gentlemen might find that record embarrassing in the future. We were assured by Senator Cooper last Tuesday that the bill would undoubtedly pass the Senate; but evidently he was mistaken. It seems that Senator Cooper changed his mind as to the necessity of the measure, for according to press reports, in the debate on the measure, he made the point that the present statutes against unlawful assemblage fully covers the situation. Why did Senator Cooper make this point, if, as he indicated to us, he favored the measure? He will understand why The Monitor asks him this pertinent question. It is further to be noted that Senator Robbins, also of Douglas county, asked if this measure was not directly aimed against the Klan, and his opposition to it was based upon an affirmative answer to his question. Why is Senator Robbins of Omaha so solicitous about anti-Klan insalivation? Speaking INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged. Naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. for its constituents, The Monitor desires to make it plain that we are no more deeply interested in anti-Klan legislation that are the other groups of American citizens, against whom the Klan directs its invectives, hostility and propaganda. The Klan is against our group and we know it; and we are openly and avowedly against the Klan. So the issue here is clear. The Klan is avowedly against other groups; also; so we are not alone in our opposition. It is not our exclusive fight. But we serve notice that any person under suspicion of being friendly to the Kluxes can count upon our opposition to any elective office he may seek. Dodging responsibility for the death of Strehlow's anti-Klan bill will not prove a heavy political asset with us. CLEAN UP AND BEAUTIFY SPRING is approaching. It is therefore an opportune time to call our people's attention to the necessity of planning early for the beautifying of their homes and property. A large proportion of our citizens are homeowners, or home-buyers. We are, in nearly every large city, very generally colonized. This is the tendency of the day. To our mind this is a serious economic blunder which American prejudice is making. But of this later. Now we simply note the fact. Since this is the fact, our people should see to it that our residential sections are unsurpassed in beauty, cleanliness and upkeep by any other in the city. We own many beautiful homes and their owners take pride in keeping up their property. There are others, however, who seem to lack this civic pride and are apparently indifferent to the appearance of their premises. Let us all no matter how humble or unpretentious our homes may be see to it that they are made as attractive as possible. As Spring approaches, clean up, paint up, plant flowers and beautify your home. Owner and tenant alike should act upon this suggestion. CAUSE FOR REJOICING WE have great cause for rejoicing in the legal victory which has just been won by the attorneys for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the case of the so-called Elaine rioters. The Supreme Court has reversed the Arkansas court. If there ever was a flagrant case of injustice it was that in which innocent Negro farmers, virtual peons, and who were simply legally contending for their rights were made to appear as rioters and nineteen of them were railroaded to death sentences within less than an hour. But, thank God, the race was alert, and the sense of justice was not dead even among some of the white people of Arkansas and the fight for justice was on. The value of a strong organization like the N. A. A. C. P. has been demonstrated. White attorneys like Moorfield Storey and colored attorneys like Scipio A. Jones and others came to the rescue and the fight for justice was on. It has been a hard fight, but the victory is near. There must be no slacking until peonage is driven from the land and all men, black and white, receive justice. Hold the line and fight for the right. GIVE THEM WELCOME WE are advised that thousands of our people are leaving the Southland seeking larger opportunities in the North and West. This places a responsibility upon our people in these sections to give these newcomers cordial welcome and do all in our power to make them valuable assets to the community. Many of them will impress us as being crude. Be it so. This should be seized as an opportunity for genuine helpfulness. Since we are judged by the masses, not by the classes, let us realize that it is our duty, if we have had advantages denied our brethren, to use our superior advantages to help elevate the masses. Our brethren are coming to better their condition. Give them welcome. IN THE LAND WHERE CHRIST LIVED By Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson. Palestine, the land where Christ lived, and long since known to all the civilized world as the Holy Land, on a whole cannot be called a beautiful land. Every province, and there are seven, has its peculiar physical form and taken separately they are interesting to note, but grouped, they remind one of our own hills and valleys, except of course, they are devoid of the natural signs of care and cultivation. In striking such a comparison, do not believe me to mean the more picturesque scenery which America has, but Palestine, to me is like the state of California, up-hill, down-hill; but with twice as much variety of scenery and climate. All America though, has such remarkable plateaus as Palestine. Running north and south along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea is the Philistine Plain, or as some know it the Plain of Sharon, and the Phoenician coast. Gradually rising up from them into what is almost the middle of the country are the mountains of Judah, mountains of Ephraim and Mount Carmel. These mountains are a literal dividing line between East and West Palestine. Just beyond them lies the Dead Sea, 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. Due north of it and about sixty-five miles distant, is the Sea of Galilee. These two inland seas are joined by the River Jordan and its tributaries. Beyond them and further into the interior, lie the Mountains of Moab, Mountains of Gilead and Mount Hernon, all of which slope gently away to the Syrian Desert. The land or Palestine comprises the provinces of Judea, Sumaria, Galilee, Phoenicia, Damascus, Decapholis and Perea, which in turn comprise all the various types of land from sandy seashores and fertile valleys to lofty, barren mountains and burning desert lands. These extremely varied regions coupled with the fact that they do not exceed eighty miles in width and 250 miles in length, help to make Palestine the most remarkable part of the world. It has been called the "least of all the lands" and rightly so, for had it been larger, its influence might have been less. As might be supposed, in such a land of varied conditions, the inhabitants are engaged in just as varied pursuits. The chief, however, are farming and sheep raising. There are, of course, the merchants and traders, seafarers, laborers, learned men, guides, servants and countless professional "do nothings." But on a whole, the 700,000 persons get along to suit their fancy without much aid from the outside world and apparently not much thought of it. The most ancient methods are used in tilling the soil and grinding grain. In fact, everywhere is to be seen the most obsolete methods. It is just now and then that one glimpses an occidental touch in doing things, and always used by modern settlers. Donkeys and camels continue to be the chief beasts of burden, though the more recent and fashionable residents possess vehicles and horses. Religion is the chief interest of the inhabitants, and why shouldn't it be? Living as they do in the land where Christ lived, their every move is among the most Holy of Holies and silent influences are exerted over them that apparently shut out the worst that is worldly. Of the religions, Mohammedanism has the larg- Look! LO Saturday, F will Grand Openin Dance Look! LOOK! Look!

Nineteen pool tables have been removed and put in storage so as to accommodate the dancing public. 5. An up-to-date lunch room. We do not serve regular meals, nothing but sandwiches, salads, home-made pastries and ice cream. 6. A first-class candy, fruit and punch bowl counter at your service at the south end of the dance hall. 7. A new ventilation system has been installed. 8. The management will see to it that the very best of order is maintained. 12. This is the greatest one of all of the twelve reasons why you should strive to make this a success: THE BUILDING IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY OUR OWN PEOPLE. Columbia Dance Hall THE MONITOR est number of followers. It prescribes Friday as the Sabbath, prohibits the use of intoxicants and believes in more than one wife. Faithful Mohammedans pray five times daily and wash their feet each time before doing so. Their women wear veils which cover the lower part of the face, the eyes alone being exposed. Among them marriage is easy and so is divorce, a word with a little money being enough to consummate either by a desiring husband. The real cities of Palestine are few and present a sight far different from our cities and the scenes may be contrasted to the quiet simple pastoral life of the small towns and back-hill settlements of that land. In them may be found all the pictures of the Orient. A succession of narrow, crooked streets, always filled with brilliantly attired people; low stone dwellings; a row of disarranged, but well stocked shops; countless minarets and spires piercing the sky-line, suggesting the numerous mosques and churches; bazaars, beggars and a conglomeration of everything under the sun. Jerusalem in particular is the home of all the sects and "isms" known in Christendom, and it is not much more than that. Many things one would expect to find there are not to be seen. There are no parks or theatres, no concerts, no libraries, clubs or lectures. Simple things like soda-water, light lunches, tooth paste and shoe polish are unknown to shop keepers. Only the bare necessities of an antiquated people are carried. Everywhere the Holy Land is spoken of in superlative terms and rightly so, for with its large number of biblically historical points, its singular geographical traits, its sacred importance, it is the one such place in all the world, holy, enchanted and alluring.

MEETING HELD AT HAMPTON Virginia Agricultural College Co-Op erates With U. S. Department of Agriculture to Improve Hampton, Va., Feb. 23-Plans for increasing the effectiveness of the 1923 extension-service work of all the colored farm and home-demonstration agents of Virginia was made at the recent annual four-day meeting, which was held at Hampton Institute, under the auspices of the Virginia Agricultural College and Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg and in cooperation with the States Relation Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. John P. Pierce of Hampton Institute who is the field agent of the State Relation Service, for the Negro farm-demonstration work in eight southern States, including Virginia, in opening the annual meeting, said: "There are thirty-one colored agents (seven home and twenty-four farm-demonstration agents), together with three supervising agents, who are working in thirty-one Virginia counties, in which there are between 29,000 and 30,000 Negro farming families. The demonstration agents must develop local leaders to carry out the extension-service program." Nation-Wide Borrowing Wave C. R. Titlow, secretary of the Federal Farm Loan Bank of the Baltimore District, which includes Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, and Porto Rico, with its 200 farm loan organizations and loans amounting to more than $21,000,000, exclusive of more than $1,000,000 in Porto Rico, stated that just as there have been crime waves, religious waves, educational waves, there is today a nation-wide borrowing wave, which goes back to the time of the World War, when men in business centers, who could borrow money readily, were able to make large sums of money almost over night. He said: "Whereas the old sentiment was, 'Never buy until you have the money,' the new sentiment is, 'dow much can I borrow.' If it is unfortunate, if a man needs money and cannot borrow it; but it is more unfortunate, if a man can easily get money, when he doesn't need it." Farmers Make Sacrifice The Federal Farm Loan Act makes it possible for thrifty farmers to secure long time credits at $5\frac{1}{2}$ per cent interest and to free themselves from the nightmare of recurring renewal of farm mortgages held by individuals. "We have loaned vast amounts of money to Negro farmers in Virginia," said Secretary Titlow, "and there has not been a single default in payment from Negro farmers in the Baltimore district. Very few farmers, in fact, have to be prodded for payments. The farmer can always be trusted, to his utmost ability, to pay. He will sacrifice everything to pay his interest charges." Credit Unions Teach Thrift Credit Unions Teach Trillt T. B. Patterson of Hampton Institute, a Virginia colored district agent, declared that the credit unions, have taught colored people, even boys and girls, to save. "Farmers of average intelligence," he said, "can run a credit union with the aid of forms which have been provided by the National Credit Union of Boston. It would be well to put the credit-union system of Virginia under the supervision of the Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg and thus reduce the routine through which farmers must now go, if they wish to organize credit unions in Virginia. The chief end of the credit union is to help the farmer finance himself with anything that he has to buy for cash in order to increase his production. Not one of the fifteen Negro credit unions in North Carolina has failed, in spite of the recent economic depression." Hope for the Farmer Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, paid a tribute to the demonstration agents, who have enriched and enlarged human life among farming people. "The whole object of farm-extension work," he said, "is to make life richer, treeer, wider, happier on the farms. When we attain that object we are not going to see this drift from the farm into the city. People are glad to get back on the farm, when the farm can give them the opportunities for the fuller life which is their rightful heritage." SMOKING GIRLS CAUSE FIRE Washington, D. C., March 2.

The church seems increasing in interest. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. had fine lessons, being well attended by both old and children. Saturday night suppers at the parsonage continue with success. WELL KNOWN WRITER PREDICTS FUTURE FUSION OF RACES (Continued from Page One) "There is no physical reason why millions of the darker races should not enter the white world every year. Only our veto prevents it. If this veto is lifted it will mean the ultimate destruction of white-race identity." Compared with the 500,000,000 white inhabitants of the earth there are 1,200,000,000 inhabitants of non-white races, said Dr. Stoddard, including 500 millions yellow, 500 millions brown, 200 millions Negroes and about 50 millions American Indians on the entire Western Hemisphere. "The numbers of the non-white races have been kept down by plague, white disease and intertribal wars. But the white man has introduced his civilization into their regions, and the prodigious death rate has greatly diminished while their prodigious birth rate is unchecked," said Dr. Stoddard. (Continued from Page One) aimed at the klan, which fact was made plain by Representative Strehlow when he introduced the measure. Senator Cooper insisted that the present statutes against unlawful assemblage, impersonating an officer and assault, fully covered the situation and that therefore this measure was uncalled for and unnecessary legislation. Senator Smrha said newspaper reports indicated the organization was one of superpatriots. He favored giving it more rope and letting it hang itself. EDISON AGAINST K. K. K. East Orange, N.

OHIO SEPARATE SCHOOLS FAIL Springfield, Ohio., March 2.—Supreme Court has issued an injunction restraining the school board from opening a separate school for colored children here. HERE'S ABOUT HUDGINS Talented Colored Artist at Gayet Next Week in Class by Himself. So often is it done that theatregoers have come to expect every colored performer on the stage to announce at some time during his act, "My next impersonation will represent the late Bert Williams"—and then they amble around in a series of sloppy dances or sing with discordant tones about K the rabbit that got in the way of "somebody who could run." An exception is worth notice, even though the exception proves the rule. There is one colored man on the stage who does not impersonate Bert Williams or anybody else. He is Johnny Hudgins, to appear at the Gayetty theatre next week supporting Harry LeVan in "Town Scandals." Hudgins impersonates Hudgins a gentleman of color with a sublime sense of humor and surpassing slants at the ridiculous, Roy Octavus Cohen might well have had Hudgins in mind as the hero of his Saturday Evening Post stories on high society in Birmingham's "colored section." Hudgins never intrudes himself into comedy situations—he just "oozes" in, as he might himself express it. And the man who cannot laugh at his ambilings and queries should be in a hospital, under care of a doctor and a trained nurse. For Hudgins is originally and personally funny.

Harry "Hickey" LeVan, one of the perennial favorites among burlesque celeans, heads "Town Scandals," the attraction booked for the popular Gayetey theatre for the two daily showings of musical comedy starting Saturday matinee. Irons & Clamage have assembled a large organization of singers, dancers and burlesquers for the presentation of a "revue" type of entertainment framed on snappy and original lines. There will be a large chorus of singing and dancing girls featured as a particularly entertaining part of the ensemble. More than a dozen principals will be in the coterie of players headed by "Hickey" LeVan. The prima donna, Maude Baxter, will be featured for her grace and beauty of personal charm and for her musical gifts and fine soprano voice. Miss Baxter will join with LeVan in presenting a piano comedy and singing interval as the high-spot of the vaudeville section beside playing the principal role and leading chorus numbers. Regular circus features will be prominent in the second act. "Hickey" LeVan will lead the brigade of comedians that also includes Johnny Hudgins, colored comic, and Joe Van, eccentric character. These three merry-makers will have Ernie Van as their foil in numerous comedy scenes and laugh-provoking clashes of drolleries. LeVan is a comedian of original merit, who carries along his scenes in swift sequence thus keeping the laughter rolling. In connection with the circus features there will be souvenirs for everybody and peanuts for the kiddies. Anneta and Germaine LaPierre come from Paris to join "Town Scandals" this season bringing with them a new style of specialty to make the vaudeville element distinctive. They will sing Pariisi music hall songs in French and English. Letty Bolles will sustain the soubrette roles and with Miss Baxter, Rose Chevalier and the Sisters LaPierre lead the chorus in numerous offerings of song and dance. Vaudeville interludes of special entertainment value will be interwoven with the chorus numbers, comedy scenes and stage novelties that contribute to the revue. Johnny Hudgins will present a native impersonation of Bert Williams and the Van Brothers will be heard in an effective saxophone offering. The musical oddity presented by Harry LeVan and Maude Baxter, together with the Sisters LaPierre, in their French originalities, will round out the vaudeville. One of the most effective numbers on the show will be offered by Rose Chevelier, a dainty dancer, who will lead the chorus in some special diversions of song and dance. It is declared that Miss Chevelier is possessed of an almost perfect form and a gift for dancing that is electrifying. There will be a matinee daily. Sunday's bargain matinee starts at 3:00.

Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale MARY GRAHAM BONNER COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWYORK UNION BOY OF THE NORTH Santa Claus sat in his work shop and beside him sat Boy of the North. Now you all know, I'm sure, that Boy of the North is Santa's pet dog. When Xmas is over Santa goes back home and with the aid of his magic telescope he is able to look through at the children. He can see through it into the windows where there are children and as the children smile over their gifts Santa chuckles, and laughs with glee. Then he always gives Boy of the North a book, too, and Boy of the North sees the children and wags his tall and thumps it very hard upon the floor. But now Santa was still working, and oh, he was working so hard. "I have eighteen more pairs of skates to finish," Santa said. "And the sleds must all be packed so I can take them, too. Then there are the toys I must make for the shops but which they will let me have back afterward so I can give them to the children. "They like to have them so the children can see them and see what they like and can tell me and then I can see by their lists. "Such lists as I've had this year, Boy of the North. Well, they were "Working So Hard." magnificent. And such letters. They warm my very heart to read them." Boy of the North wagged his tail again and put his nose in Sina's lap and his beautiful collie face was very sweet and very splendid. "Rose wants a game and Grace wants a tiny doll and Beatrice wants a set of dishes. "Jack wants a train and Ralph wants a boat and Dan wants a set of blocks so he can build splendid houses and fine buildings. "Rith wants a little toy lamb and Caroline wants a picture book and she wants a little carriage for her dolly, too—I have promised myself that I can manage that, too. "Oh, yes, Boy of the North, there is still a great deal to do." And Santa worked along as he talked. "You know that it means when I promise myself something that I will surely be able to manage another present still. My promises to myself are always about children which are the promises I love making. "I think I will sing a little song, Boy of the North, about my promises." Boy of the North wagged his tail to show that that pleased him and then he gave a bark and then another and one more short one. This was his way of letting the reindeer know that it was time for them to jingle their bells to make music for Santa's song. And this is the song Santa Claus sang: I promise myself to give many a toy To many a girl and to many a boy, And I keep these promises that I make, These promises with me as I go. Through the air and over the snow, To every town and every house Where there's a boy or a girl. I promise myself all the things that Fli give And he tries his very best and hardest to do All that he can to follow each list And now, hush, hush, let me listen—hist! I hear a message just now from a boy And another promise I'll be making my- self. Oh, Santa Claus is as happy as can be. And the merry Christmas season and be Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! the merrie Christmas season. And Boy of the north barked and the reindeer said in their own way, too, that they all agreed with Santa Claus! Not Microscopic. Mrs. Carter was a careful mother and she had repeatedly cautioned her little girl, who was seven years old, against handling any object that might contain germs. One day the little girl came flying to her to say: "Mother, I shall never play with my puppy again, because he has germs on him." "Tes there are," insisted the child; "I saw one hop." Temporary Loan. A five-year-old came running into his aunt's home, which was not far from his own, and said: "Oh, auntie, mother wants to know will you please borrow me while she goes shopping." Facts Worth Remembering When a person feels disposed to over-estimate his own importance, let blm remember that mankind got along very well before his birth, and that in all probability they will get along very well after his death.
