"GO TO HIGH SCHOOL AND GO TO COLLEGE" LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy "GO T WHITES BECOMING FREQUENT VICTIMS OF MOB VIOLENCE Only Negroes Suffered in Past Bus Now Mostly Whites Are Victims, Says Report of Civil Liber- des Union. VIOLENCE ON THE INCREASE Death Almost Invariably Penalty Paid by Black Victims of Mobs, Beatings, Tars and Feathers New York, May 4.—(Crusader Service.)—Mob violence is now directed chiefly against white persons, even women, as contrasted with the previous record chiefly against Negroes, according to a report just issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, which points out that in the 103 cases of lynching, tarring and feathering or flogging in the last six months of 1922, over two-thirds of the victims were white men and women. Among the thirty-two Negroes in the record, twenty were lynched. "When a mob goes after a Negro, in most cases," the report states, "it does not stop short of death." Violence on Increase. Presenting the striking facts of mob violence in the United States, the Civil Liberties report notes a marked increase in the number of cases, and claims that "the violence is in most cases the result of an organized campaign of terrorism and lawless assumption of power by private organizations, notably the Ku Klux." Stating that Texas leads all the other states in flogging, and tarrings and featherings, the Civil Liberties report claims that the increase in mob violence "is the product of the class feeling and prejudice aroused by the war. The dominant group behind organized mob violence is that of 'white, Protestant and Gentile' southerners, centering in the Ku Klux Klan with the object of class supremacy, private vengeance and fantastic notions of enforcing the 'moral code.'" Class Feeling Responsible. While most of the mob violence in the last two years took place in the south and southwest, "there were scattered cases throughout the west, and a few cases in the east," the report states. The record totals nearly 800 victims at the lowest count, not including riot victims, thus averaging over one person a day. Of these, 102 persons were lynched, 33 whites and 69 Negroes; 63 persons were tarred and feathered, 61 whites and only two Negroes; 167 persons were flogged, 126 whites and 41 Negroes, and about 460 persons, chiefly aliens and I. W. W.'s, were deported from local communities by mobs. Commenting on this total, the Civil Liberties report states that "the killings by mobs in fact total more than 102, if account is taken of the election riots in Florida, where 30 to 60 Negroes lost their lives and of race rioting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where thirty were killed. "Go to High School; go to College!" EXODUS HITS NORTH CAROLINA Raleigh, N. C., May 4.—Migration of more than 5,000 unskilled Negro laborers to Richmond and Baltimore from North Carolina during the last week has necessitated the shutting down of more than fifty highway construction projects, according to a statement by State Highway Commission officials. Better educational opportunities and higher wages are said to be the lure. THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE This body had a very enthusiastic session Tuesday morning. The committee appointed last week to investigate the matter of the two members of the race sentenced to the electric chair, made its report, which indicated that considerable prejudice was evidenced by the verdict of the jury. A motion prevailed to take up the matter of bringing the case to the supreme court. This can be done through the instrumentality of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, backed up by the Ministerial Alliance. The Rev. Dr. Harper of the St. John's Institutional Church, Dallas Texas, being presented by Rev. W. F. Botts, made some very timely and encouraging remarks. The discussion for next Tuesday will be on the seven vials as they occur in Rev., chapters 15 and 16. The Rev. Mr. McFarland will present the paper for the occasion. THE MONITOR EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON A large congregation was present last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock when the pastor spoke on "The Oxford Movement and Its Influence." He showed that three remarkable movements to deepen the spiritual life and show the true Catholic position of the Anglican Communion, began at Oxford University, namely, the Methodist Society, which eventually separated from the Church of England; the Tractarian of 1835, which emphasized her corporate Catholic character and the sacramental system; and that of 1890 to meet German rationalism. He discussed at length the second and showed its enrichment of faith and worship. The services Sunday will be as follows: Holy Communion 7:30 A. M. Church School, 10:00; Sung Eucharist and Serrmion, 11:00; Evensong at 8:00 P. M. "Go to High School; go to College!" Rev. Wm. Franklin, Pastor This congregation has been joining the Union Baptist revival being conducted by the Rev. C. C. Harper at Zion Baptist church. Superintendent Steward and wife, of Bethel Baptist Sunday Sschool, visited ours last Sunday and were highly pleased with our organization and progress. CORNER STONE LAYING BY MASONIC ORDER The corner stone of the Clevie Methodist Episcopal church, corner of Twenty-fifth and Decatur streets, last Sunday afternoon at 2:30, attracted a large congregation. GrandMaster R. H. Young of Lincoln, officiated. He was assisted by the officers of the United Masonic lodges of the first district of Nebraska. The lodges participating were Rough Ashler No. 1; Excelsior No. 2; Rescue No. 4; Omaha No. 9; Hiram No. 10; and St. John's No. 11. Actively assisting Grandmaster Young were Walter L. Seals, district C. M.; D. S. Cunningham and Emery R. Smith. The Rev. E. L. Hollis is pastor of the church. The Alhambra theatre is a new advertiser in this issue. This popular playhouse is presenting an exceptionally strong array of pictures, and it will pay readers of The Monitor to watch for their program announcement each week. RACE SCIENTIST MADE FELLOW OF ROYAL SOCIETY Professor George W. Carver, Head of Tuskegee Department of Agricultural Research, Signally Honored Tuskegee, Ala., May 4.—From slavery to a fellow in the Royal Society of Great Britain. This, in one brief sentence, sums up the life of Prof. George Carver, Negro, head of the department of agricultural research at Tuskegee Institute here. Carver, by his research work, has gained nation-wide prominence in chemical circles. Through his experiments, carried on over a period of twenty years or more, he has discovered scores of products from the principal crops of the south. He is principally noted for his products developed from peanuts and sweet potatoes and for his cold water paints and stains, developed from Georgia clay. He has developed 165 by-products from peanuts, 115 from sweet potatoes, and 85 from pecans. Honor Unsolicited Honor Unassisted Membership in the Royal Society of Grenat Britain is an honor cherished by scientists above all others. Carver doesn't know how he was elected to membership. "Maybe it was Sir Henry Johnson" Carver said. Sir Henry, while touring this country several years ago spent a large portion of his time at the Institute here and became deeply interested in the work of the ex-slave. It is believed he proposed Carver's name for membership which was accepted. In 1918 Prorf. Carver addressed Congress on the subject of a higher tariff on peanuts and succeeded in raising the rate from $40 a ton to $180, a great service to growers of the south. Prof. Carver has been closely associated with the national department of agriculture for years and was a warm friend of the late President Roosevelt. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1923 ANTI-KLAN BILL PASSED BY ILLINOIS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Associated Negro Press. Associated Negro Press. Springfield, Ill., April 25.—Illinois joined the ranks of the states which have gone on record as opposed to the KuKlux Klan when the house of representatives passed an anti KuKlux Klan bill this week by a vote of 107 to 3. The bill was fathered by Assemblyman Adelbert H. Roberts, colored, of Chicago. Mr. Roberts, who is distinguished as an orator, made a long and striking speech in behalf of the measure, holding the rapt attention of his colleagues and undoubtedly swept aside whatever opposition existed except on the part of three republican members. The democrats voted solidly against the Klan. "Go to High School; go to College!" SOCIETY PROTESTS COLOR BAR AGAINST TALENTED STUDENT Leader of Ethical Culture Society Sails For France to Bring Case Of Discrimination Before Authorities AMERICANS RESPONSIBLE Committee Charged With Selection Refuses Admission To Miss Savage Solely on Racial Grounds New York, May 4—The question of discrimination against students of Negro blood assumed international importance with the sailing recently of one of the leaders of the Ethical Culture Society of this city to make a formal protest to the French authorities at Fontainebleau. Augusta Savage, twenty-three, of 228 West 138th Street, has been refused admission to the Fontainebleau School of Arts because of her racial identity. The school she expected to attend is a summer school for American architects, painters and sculptors at the Palace of Fontainebleau, and is under the patronage of the French government. Miss Savage is the first colored person to apply for admission. The refusal was made by a committee of American men which has the power to select one hundred American students as it sees fit. Miss Savages application was in charge of Ernest Peixette, the painter. Other members of the committee are: Whitney Warren, architect, chairman of the committee; Edwin E. Blashfield, president of the National Academy of Design; Howard Greenley, president of the Architectural League; Thomas Hastings, architect of the New York public library; president of the Beaux Arts Institute of Design, etc.; J. Monroe Hewlitt, president of the Mural Painters; Hermin A. McNeil, president of the National Sculpture Society, and James Gamble Rogers, president of the Society of Beaux Arts Architects. The representative of the Ethical Culture, who will take up the matter with the French authorities—Alfred W. Martin, of 995 Madison Avenue—said he felt certain the French people would not approve of discrimination on racial grounds. Strange Democracy Miss Savage has studied sculpture at Cooper Union since she came up from Florida two years ago. Her friends raised for her the necessary $500 for the summer course at Fontainebleau. She has returned the money. "Democracy is a strange thing," Miss Savage said yesterday. "My brother was good, enough to be accepted in one of the regiments that saw service in France during the war, but it seems his sister is not good enough to be a guest to the country for which he fought. "I don't care so much for myself, because I will get along all right here but other and better colored students might wish to apply some time. This is the first year the school is open and I am the first colored girl to apply. I don't like to see them establish such a precedent." Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Cowan have returned from Lawrence, Kans., where they were called by the death of Mr. Cowan's uncle, Isaac Johnson, who had served for twenty-nine years as deputy sheriff of Douglas county, Kansas, and was most highly esteemed. During his funeral, Tuesday, April 24th, the court house was closed as a mark of respect. "GO TO HIGH SCHOOL—GO TO COLLEGE" CAMPAIGN Alpha Phi Alpha Seeks to Reach Three Million Parents and Students in National Campaign This Week. Washington, D. C., May 4. "Go to High School—Go to College" is the message being delivered this week to the Colored students of America by the members and friends of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Starting with the observance of Educational Sunday, April 29th, and continuing through the week with conferences with parents, teachers and students, and with visits to homes and special communications to leaders asking cooperation, this educational campaign will end in a great mass meeting in the various large cities of the country on Sunday, May 6th, at which addresses will be made by outstanding educational leaders. This year-marks the fourth annual campaign to spread the gospel of "Go to High School—Go to College" among the youth of our race. From all indications, this important message will be carried to every state in the Union as there are now some forty-five chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha with members in practically every city of importance. The goal of the fraternity is to reach over three million parents and students with the fundamental message regarding the need of education. The series of articles by the Editor captioned "From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back," which have been so popular, are omitted in this issue but will be resumed next week.—The Editor. "Go to High School; go to College" RACE PHILANTHROPISTS GIVE $10,000 TO MEDICAL SCHOOL FUND AT HOWARD Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, Poro College Founders, Make Generous Donation to Big University Endowment. Washington, D. C., May 4.—Announcement was made at the Howard University last week of the pledge of $10,000 by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, who conduct a large manufacturing establishment at St. Louis, Mo., to the endowment fund of the School of Medicine of the Howard University. The Malones are liberal givers to every cause in behalf of the Negro race, contributing in a large way to the Y. M. C. A. and schools conducted in behalf of the Negro. The pledge of $10,000 by Mr. and Mrs. Malone is the largest single pledge made by colored persons towards the Howard Medical School Endowment Fund, and is as large as any other pledge made except the conditional gift of $250,000, made by the General Education Board itself. Nothing more clearly indicates the idea of racial self-help in this effort by the Howard University to meet the challenge of the General Education Board than this single pledge of $10,000 by representatives of the colored people. OMAHA WESTERN LEAGUE CLUB PENNANT CLIMBERS Omaha Can This Season Boast of a Real Outfit of Regular Ball- Playing Fools. Nearly Every Man o Slugger By Sporting Editor Omaha has at last gathered together under the leadership of Big Ed Konetchy a real ball club. It is a team of which Omaha should be proud. They are going good and will be at the top of the ladder or squeezing the leaders at the close of the pennant race. The efforts of the team should be supported by our race. The manager, known for many years as "Big Ed Koney," played for several years with the St. Louis Nationals and later managed the Toledo "Mud Hens" in the American Association. He is known as a strict disciplinarian and a brainy teacher of the great American game. Most of the team he has gathered together are youngsters and the promise for a strong team is great. Omahans in general should attend games whenever possible and encourage Mr. Burch and Mr. Konetchy in giving Omaha a fence-bustin', pen-nant-winning aggregation of players. Sunday's game will surely find Omaha in the first division, and then watch the battle. AT TRINITY CATHEDRAL An impressive service was held at Trinity Cathedral last Friday afternoon at five o'clock when several girls and women from the various parishes and missions of the city were admitted to membership in the Girls' Friendly Society by Bishop Shayler. Nearly all the city clergy of the Episcopal church were present, participating in the service, each one presenting the candidates from his parish. St. Philip's presented nine, the largest number of any parish. They were the Misses Grace Adams, Dorothy Allen, Evelyn Battles, Inez Battles, Dorene Bush, Nonance Gibson, Florence Jones, Ruth Pegg and Helen Redd. A supper and program in Trinity parish house followed. Bishop Shayler delivered a helpful address on "Loyalty, Friendship and Religion." NEGRO IN AMERICA IS CENTURY AHEAD OPINION OF VISITOR Noted South African Educator Greatly Pleased With Progress of Race in United States. SETS STANDARD FOR WORLD Africa Offers Fine Field of Service for Well Trained American Negroes—Many of Whom Are Now There. Atlanta, Ga., May 4.—(Special.)—That the Negro in America is in every way a hundred years ahead of the natives of. South Africa, is the statement of Dr. James Henderson, a noted educator from that country, who is spending a few months in America in the study of race relations and Negro education. This is due, he said, to the fact that the American Negro came much earlier into contact with Christian civilization and has had far greater opportunities for education and self-development. He was particularly impressed with the economic progress which the race has made in this country, which he said was far beyond anything he had expected. Dr. Henderson has given his life to the education of the natives of British South Africa, having been for many years principal of Lovedale Institute, the great African Tuskegee, a missionary institution with a faculty of sixty and a student body of 900. While in Atlanta he visited a number of Negro colleges and was greatly pleased with them, commenting most favorably on their fine equipment, competent and devoted teachers and intelligent students. A number of well-trained American Negroes, he said, are rendering fine service in Africa as teachers and social workers. Wherever they have been tried they have made good, was his emphatic testimony. He believes that the number of such wokers will greatly increase and that in this way the educated American Negro is destined to make a great contribution to Africa's development. The good will of the Interracial Commission of which he had heard in Africa where its methods are beginning to be adopted, interested Dr. Henderson greatly. The problems of race relations, he said, are much more difficult there than here, and much further from solution. It was his opinion that the progress of the American Negro is setting a new standard for the world in the development of backward peoples. THE FASCISTI AND "OUR INTEL LEADS THE JIM LEADS THE GANG We have got another "get-rich-quick" patriotic (?) society. Eligibility to membership therein is extended to all "WHITE MALES, citizens of the United States between the ages of 18 and 65." The regalia is a black shirt, because it won't show the soil as quickly as a white sheet; but the dirt will be on it just the same. The name of the order is the Fascisti, presumably remotely derived from the root, "FAC," which means "to do"—evidently the other fellow. And just think of it. "Our Jim," the Hon. James C. Dahlman, mayor of Omaha, leads the gang of patriotic "doers." He bears the title of "Grand Lictor." "Our Jim" has always been so democratic that it is difficult to think of his falling for royalty. Well, black shirts may save something on one's laundry bill. Mrs. Leroy Kelly and infant son left Monday for Broadwater, Neb., to visit her parents. Her husband left Friday to join them. Whole Number 408 ST. LOUIS WOMEN RAISE $600.00 FOR N. A. A. C. P. St. Louis, Mo., May 4.—The women are still determined to secure 2,000 members for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Last Tuesday night the three mass meetings held under the auspices of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs were well attended. Walter F. White, assistant secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Hon. L. C. Dyer were the speakers. A certified check for $600 was turned over to Mr. White to aid in the fight against lynching and racial discrimination. The women had hoped that they would be able to turn over $1,000 this week but time was too short. According to a statement by Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson, President, the women will continue their efforts until 2,000 members are added to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. "Go to High School; go to College!" GLASS RECITAL PLEASES The recital given $ ^{v} $ by Clyde Leroy Glass at St. John's A. M. E. Church last Friday night under the auspices of the Western University Club, was a rare musical treat, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience present. Mr. Glass is among the foremost pianists of the day, and the talented artist fully sustained his reputation. LEADERS ASKED TO STOP SOUTHERN EXODUS Meridian, Miss., May 4.—Reaction seems to be setting in on the white farmers of this section who have been robbing colored farmers for the past fifty years. In every city and town the mayor and leading white men are appealing to ministers and leaders of our group to stem the tide of the exodus which is now in full swing. The appeal seems to be falling on deaf ears as far as our group is concerned, and the whites are getting desperate. Negroes are packing up their belongings day and night and railroads are forced to add additional cars to the regular trains in order to accommodate them. Mrs. Jeanne Desdunes Lattimore who has been' ill for several months left Sunday night with her sister Mrs. Mora for Stockton, Cal., upon the advice of her physician who recommended a change of climate. PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE PASSES LYNCHING BILL Andrew Stevens, Colored Lawmaker from Philadelphia, Gets Bill Through House — One Negative Vote. DEMOCRATS SUPPORT IT Special Correspondence. Harrisburg, Pa., April 19—After four hours debate which carried the night session into the morning hours, April 18th, the Stevens' Anti-lynching Bill passed the House of Representatives with only one negative vote recorded against it. So tense was the interest in this measure, as evidenced by the crowd in attendance which packed every available space, that the result of the ballot came as a great surprise. So skillfully had the author of this remedial legislation engineered this measure that every amendment proposed was defeated. The bill is almost a replica of the Dyer bill, as it was originally introduced in Congress. The only difference is that it is made applicable to the State. Every Democrat Supported Bill The entire Democratic delegation of forty-three (43) members voted for the Stevens bill. The one negative vote was cast by a Republican. The bill went to the Senate on Wednesday for final passage and will soon become a law, as Governor Pinchot is strongly urging the measure. Representative Andrew F. Stevens, the author of the bill, is a member of the well-known Philadelphia banking firm of Brown & Stevens. He is one of the most popular men in public affairs and is the recipient of great praise from all classes for his remarkable higher legislature honors. All Omaha High school graduates are invited to meet at the Y. W. C. A., Twenty-second and Grant streets, next Thursday night at 8 o'clock. The Men's Club of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon will hold its regular monthly meeting Monday night. GROWING THANK YOU VOL. VIII—No. 43 LEGE" CONGRESSMAN DYER SEVERELY SCORES SELFISH SLACKERS Author of the Federal Anti-Lynching Bill Arraigns Religious Leaders Who Show No Interest in Work of N. A. A. C. P. GOVERNMENT REMI$STODUTY Having Authority to Draft All Citizens to Fight for Country It Should Have Power to Protect Them Claiming that ministers and religious leaders of the race who refuse to actively enlist in the fight that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is waging gfor justice are unworthy of the positions they occupy, Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the Federal Anti-Lynching Bill, delivered an effective address before a large audience Monday night in the Council Chamber. He told how he became interested in the anti-lynching fight. It was after the East St. Louis massacre, when more than 100 coolred men, women and children were murdered at his very door, helpless babies being torn from their mothers' arms, their brains dashed out and thrown into the fire. So deeply moved was he by that horrible affair that he resolved to do what he could to remove America's shame. Convinced that only a federal law would be effective, he introduced it. He told of the tremendous telling work of the National Association for such a measure and paid a glowing tribute to James Weldon Johnson, now ill because of the great strain of working night and day at Washington for the passage of the measure which was enacted by the house but defeated in the senate by filibustering southerners and weak-kneed traitorous republicans. This measure is to be the first introduced in the next Congress, he said, and he urged that the membership of the N. A. A. C. P. be so enlarged everywhere that the hands of those fighting for it would be strengthened. Congressman Dyer said he was not fighting the South but for simple justice. Himself a native of Missouri, his father a Virginian, his mother a native of Kentucky, he could not be hostile to the South. Unfortunately lynching is more prevalent there than elsewhere but the evil is a national menace. China and Turkey and other nations hurl the just taunt into the teeth of America that she is the only country that burns human beings at the stake. Of the more than 5,000 persons lynched in the past thirty-five years, less than nineteen per cent had not even been suspected of the crime of rape, so the widely circulated and generally accepted story that Negroes were only lynched for such crimes was false. Colored people should be deeply concerned in seeing that this slander is refuted. The race in the North and West, where they can vote, owe it to their brethren in the South where they are denied the suffrage, to stand up for their brethren. This can be done most effectively through such a strong organization as the N. A. A. C. P. Congressman Dyer charged the government with remissness in its duty toward the race, whose record in every war had been a glorious one. If the government can draft the Negro to fight for it, then the government should see to it that he is protected in every state in the union. The N. A. A. C. P. is fighting for justice for all American citizens; against peonage, the evils of which are now being brought to the attention of the country; for better educational advantages; in short, for the best interests of American citizenship. Its principles are such as all true Americans, black or white, can support. It vitally concerns all colored Americans and therefore they should enroll as members. Ex-Congressman Jefferis introduced the speaker. Congressman Sears was also present and spoke. Henry W. Black, president of the local branch, called the meeting to order. An appeal for members was made by Rev. John Albert Williams resulting in an increased enrollment. Harold Jones came up from Lincoln Thursday to attend "The Price" given by the Dubois Players at Brandeis theatre. ee eee aa a a = a os Jeni ir ar lcarssieen pai ae ee ee 2 ag ara ae ee pan alae olne peal eal THE REV.

COMMERCTALIZING PREJUDICE Reon COE ye cial and religious hatred for chiefly ‘the financial benefit of the founder and his many cohorts, and not patriotism, was the primary ‘and fundamental cause of the revival and reorganization of the infamous order of the Ku Klux Klan, into which, unfortunately, a comparatively large number of otherwise respect- ‘able Americans were thoughtlessly swept. We do not believe that when it comes right down to the heart of the average American he desires to cherish hatred or ill-will against any human being. Through fear or pas- sion he may be, and frequently is, moved to a certain course of action in which he feels justified, but when he views it in the light of sober reason and calm judgment, if he will only ‘acknowledge it, he feels ashamed of himself and is convinced that his bet- ter nature rebels against what under stress of mob psychology he has been influenced to do. Clever minds know how to make use of mob-psychology to further their own purposes. Any thoughtful analysis of the recrudes- ence of the Kluxies, bearing the pon- derous and pompous title of Knights of the Imperial Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan, discloses that this is just what has been done. Realizing that there are certain types of minds wilich can easily be swayed by prejudice, religious, ra- cial, sectional and what-not, a man by the name of Simmons, seeing an op- portunity to coin money, played upon men's prejudices to revive this order. He had the cleverness to make many Believe that America was threatened by the Roman Catholic church, an as- sumption too silly to be given cred- ence; by the Jews, an industrious, frugal and high minded people; and by the Negroes, a group of citizens whose loyalty and patriotism cannot be questioned. Silly and unreason- able as it may seem a large namber ‘of Americans fell for this commere- alization of racial and religious hat- red and cheerfully paid $10.00 per head for the privilege of donning a sheet and an eye-slit pillow slip, meeting in secret conclave and plot- ‘ting to take the law in their own Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights.

A sug- gestive title, indicating bewitchment, from which in this enlightened age, men, and particularly WHITE MEN, were supposed to be emancipated. It is said the order grows apace. Perhaps it does. And yet there are many who believe it is a case of “whistling to keep up courage.” This, however, is certain: neither of the groups against which it is or- ganized, Negroes, Jews, Roman Cath- olies, nor Americans of foreign-born parentage, is frightened by the sheet- ed form of the Knights of the Invis- ible Empire. Nor, despite all their assertions to the contrary, have the great mass of sensible American cit- izens any sympathy whatsoever with their high-sounding sentiments of Americanism, which their actions be- lie. Like all other foolish fads it will have its day and cease to be. The government at Washington will live and all loyal American citizens, what- ever their racial descent or religious views, of course within the realms of decency, may be, will have its pro- tection without the aid or consent of the Kluxies. CONGRESSMAN DYER QMAHA CITIZENS who heard Con- gressman Leonidas C. Dyer last Monday night were deeply impressed with the sincerity of the man. His earnest plea for inereased member- ship in the great national organiza- tion, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to which he gave ungrudging credit for the passage of the Federal Anti- Lynching Measure in the house of rep- resentatives was most effective. It ought to result, as we believe it will, in rapidly increasing the membership of the N. A. A.C. P. While the fight against lynching is being vigorously pushed by this or- ganization it is not, or should not be considered, primarilly @ racial or sec- tional matter. It is a national affair. Our race is deeply interested in it be- cause of the KNOWN 5,000 victims of mobs in the last thirty-five years ninety-six per cent have been of our race, but inasmuch as we are the LYNCHED and not the Iynchers, it is the WHITE American's duty to roll ‘away this reproach from the nation. It needed some one to begin the fight. ‘The N. A. A. C. P. was that agency. Champions of justice like Congress- man Dyer, Morefield Story and others have been raised up to help win the victory not for any class of Amer- feans, but for all Americans. Let each of us do all in our power to strengthen the hands of those battling for justice and the overthrowing of mob-violence in America. Dyer is that champion. Tat us strengthen his hands. SENSIBLE WOMEN. (TWO WOMEN had a falling out over a trivial matter, as is the case of most falling outs, and stopped speak- ing to each other. They lived op- posite each other. Their former cus- tom had been when they saw one an- other on the porch or lawn to ex- change a cheery “Good-Morning” or other pleasant greeting, But after the breach of friendship each “female of the species” whenever she saw her erstwhile friend would gaze skyward apparently looking for a bolt from the blue to smite “the hateful thing”, as each esteemed the other. Finally one of the women made up her mind that this “comedy of errors” had gone on long enough. So “swallowing her pride”, as one would say, she went to her former friend and said good- naturedly: “I'm tired of acting as we do, I hope we are both sensible Christian women and this idea of our not speaking to each other is all wrong. Let’s make up.” ‘The other woman said, “Youre right; isn’t it silly for grown women as we are to act like kids?” ‘There was moisture in the eyes of each of these women, Tears washed away the duiness of their sight and each saw the other in her true light as an intelligent, well-meaning Chris- tian woman, each of a high-strung and nervous temperament, a little over-sensitive, but really good at heart and anxious to do right. And so now instead of frowning, or gnor- ing each other when they meet, they smile and speak, and are happy. Be- fore, even though they tried to dis- guise it, they were miserable. ‘The Monitor commends the’ action of these two sensible women to others in like circumstances: for there are many women moving in the same s0- cial circles, attending, perhaps, the same church, who for some trivial cause, real or imagined, have stopped speaking to each other. Tt means un- happiness for them and their friends. It’s foolish. Yes, it is “silly for grown women as we are to act like kids". Some men are in the same boat. They too can profit by the example of these two women. NELSON CREWS (THE DEATH of Nelson C.

First of all there was the chance that there might not be snow, but snow came in plenty of time. And it was with Joy that little Eugene looked at the snow-covered hills and the snow on the ground, which was be coming smooth and mice. “It will seem more like Christmas than anything else,” he sald. And the first tlme he heard sleigh bells he went almost wild with de light. “T hear them,” he cried, “I hear them.” Now little Bugene was visiting tn the country, but the people whom he was visiting did not own a horse and sleigh. They were going to do thelr best to see that he had a sleigh ride though. ‘And on the afternoon before Christ- mas Eugene was given his first sleigh ride. Such a ride as it was, tool ‘The trees were covered with snow for the most part, thoush the hemlocks had very little upon them, For when the snow had been falling the hemlocks had been shaking about in their usual graceful fashion and the snow had not been able to eling to them. ‘The sup made the snow sparkle un Ul a little later bright colors came In the sky and the sun went to bed dressed In his holiday suit of red Bugene was sure he had put It on for the holidays and so he had, though Mr. Sun was also in the habit of wear- ing thut red sult of his when he gave fa birthday party which he did very often, At either side of the sleigh there were bells attached and how they dtd Jingle, And coming down the road ebind them, all along the road, war another sleigh which made a sleigh bell duet of jingles! Sometimes where the snow had arifted brown patches of grass could be seen, but mostly everything was covered with snow. In the brooks ‘and streams they passed there were 7 B4 Oo tna CG ese ice and snow. Everything looked so nice and: winterlke and so different from the city. Eugene loved it all. It certainly was @ treat. And Dolly, the horse, was very anxious to show Rugene that she would make it as much of a treat as she could. She bad heard him say that there wold be sugar at the end of the ride an‘ there bad been sugar at the start of the ride, Oh yes, Dolly had some sugar. So Dolly shfed at an automobile which, of course, she never did as a rule. But she thought it would be fun to do this for the little etty boy. Lit- tle city boys did think such funny things sometimes. Dolly had heard some of the questions they asked when they came to the farm, And Dolly even pretended to be & Uttle frightened at the train when tt hurried by! ‘The sleigh was called a cutter and what fun it was to ride so close to the ground and what a crisp, pleasant sound it made when it hurried along, pulled by Dolly, the horse. ‘They passed ‘by @ well which was ‘used by everyone in one small village. A community well ft was called and Uttie Eugene was surprised to hear that it didn't freeze. He had heard that plumbers were always busy tx the country fixing pipes which had frozen. * But It was explained to him that tt was so deep In the earth it couldn't freeze and that the water drained back after it had been pumped. Ob no, that well never froze. But little Eugene almost did. And oh, how glad he was to get back to the fire again. He had had @ perfect Christmas treat, though, and he left a note for ‘Banta Claus by the chimney that “night, for he knew Santa would like “to hear of the treat of his first sletgh ride—bis great Christmas treat!

SOME INDICATION of the magnitude of the Negro migration from South to North may be gained from the report of the Department of Agriculture that 13 percent, or 32,000, of the Negro farm-hands of Georgia have come north during the last year. The movement is continuous and growing, and though Georgia is losing a much larger proportion of her laborers than any other state, the exodus is not a local or temporary affair. Every southern community is affected. From the point of view of the Negro there is every reason for moving north. Farm wages are low everywhere; they are lowest of all in the south. Socially and politically the Negro enjoys much more freedom in the north. Added to these incentives to change are the discontent of returned colored troops with traditional living conditions, the breakdown of the contract-labor system, recent crop failures and general agricultural bankruptcy. On the whole, the wonder is that the Negro did not walk out long ago. But if the south allows the emigration to proceed it will wake at some not far distant date to discover that there is nobody left to work the plantations. The whole economic structure of the south has rested upon a class of unskilled labor which is rapidly getting out from under. Not socially, economically or politically has the south made it worth while for the Negro to remain.-The New York World. DUSTIN FARNUM COMING IN FILM OF FAR NORTH Dustin Farrum, the popular star of the William Fox constellation, will soon be seen in this city at the Gayey theatre in a George Goodchild story, "Bucking the Barrier," which deals with the extreme cold of the Far North and the wholesome warmth of a woman's love.

The last half of next week the Gayey will be used by the Junior League for their Annual Revue.

W. Henderson of Elwood, Kans., preached at 11:00 A. M. At 8:00 P. M. the pastor talked on the work of the American Civic Reform movement.

At its French window a man lingered, a troubled trown on his fine brow, as he watched, far below the weird dance of a young girl across the sands. He turned sharply and called into the shadows the name "Hannah." A woman came from a farther room in answer; her gaze, too, was troubled, as she awaited his errand. "Hannah," asked the young man, "can you tell me why Mary, our little Mary, is so restless—why no amusement, no talk seems to engage her? Are we at fault that she is discontented? "Please, Hannah," he requested, "tell me again the story of our rescue, so long ago." "It was on a night like this, moonlight everywhere, summer in the soft winds, that the great bount sank, with fire curling her decks. Sank quickly, far, far out in the sea. We were going to the old country—the minister, his kind wife and the two children. You, Bruce, a small chap—Robin, they called you then—and I had been your nurse since you entered the world. And the little Mary, then but a baby. Her mother had put her in my arms when she refused to leave her husband's side as small boats were hurriedly lowered to save the women and children. "My baby first," she said. "My husband and I may come after. They never came. It was the gentle minister who placed you in my care. So, near the morning, I, with my two small charges, and other women who were of us, reached this same shore. The others went—I know not where. When I learned that you and the baby Mary were orphaned I, who had no home nor country, decided to stay on here, below on the beach, where the humble folks earned their living. I became one of them—your father had left very little money, so I worked with the women, making nets, doing what I could. And two years passed thus before the old Scotch couple, who lived up in this great house which we called 'The Castle.' came down one day to the shore to see about adopting you, the Scotch minister's son. They were not so sure that they wanted a little girl, but the sister, I persuaded them, should not be separated from her older brother. So they took you both, to be companions of their lonely old age. "But they insisted that you should bear their name, to be their future heir, and you became Bruce Gordon. Little Mary's name, in its simplicity, pleased them. And I was retained to care for you both. If you had relatives in the city where your true parents had lived, they did not interest themselves in inquiring after your welfare. That is all." The man moved toward the balcony. "But Mary," he said, still troubled, "seems not so happy when her return from college. Yet, when I ask her if the silence here palls upon her—if she would seek friends in the city and live a part of the time with them—she becomes truly distressed. "I cannot bear any place," she said to me last night, "that is apart from you." "Robert Searles, a nice fellow, too, you must know, Hannah is anxious to marry my sister. I—" he laughed harshly. "I would be miserable all my life if Mary should return his affection, so selish do I grow in my love for her. But Mary assures me that she cares nothing for Searles nor any other man, save myself." A smile of sweetness erased his frown. "So, too, my little sister loves me. Yet, what is the doubt, the vague uncertainty which seems—" he spoke as one trying to solve a new-found problem—"to draw her from me. I might fancy the girl in love, Hannah, if she had mentioned even the name of a man." "In love—" she whispered, "and always the little lamb is talking with me wistfully about her brother Bruce. I will tell you a part of the story which I have withheld. I hoped never to tell it. "The little Mary rescued from the ship with you is not your sister. It was a pretty little dancing mother who forced her in dying desperation into my motherly arms. She would stay with her young husband, as I told you, to the last. He was her dancing partner across the continent. Stage people, you understand—yet true and loving. So I kept faith with the trusting creature, and kept her child. And when the old Scotch couple came with their strict standards to adopt a minister's son, why I, who loved as my own the tiny blue-eyed child of the dancer, I longed that she, too, might know advantages, that her future might be assured, and to her I gave the plain name of Mary, and I spoke so that they might take her as your sister. Man, dear, it may not be love indeed for you—the love of a woman for her husband-to-be—that Mary, in her innocence, has learned to know?" Very still the young man stood. To the old nurse he spoke no word of rebuke. A light illuminated his face, and he ran, at last, swiftly down the bamboo stair. Old Hannah, watching from her window with tear-filled eyes saw presently the man whom she had reared and sheltered fold close in his arms the beloved young girl of her care. Too Much Learning.

SEAPORT FOR INLAND STATE SEAPORT FOR INLAND STATE Arizona Wants Slice of Mexico to Gain Access to Sea for Its Huge Shipments of Minerals. Washington.—The "Ararat" of a strictly American "Noah," real communist inhabitants, a huge lava flow, and sait and sand sufficient to cure most of the world's fish and to keep all its buildings and glass factories ousy"—these, says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society, are some of the by-products, valuable and otherwise, that the United States would acquire if it successfully acted on a recently reported resolution of the Arizona house of representatives. The resolution seeks to add to the state a small triangle of northern Mexico. "It is for quite a different reason, however," continues the bulletin, "that Arizona desires that might be called this 'second Gadsden Purchase' of one of the most desolate and least-known regions of North America. The map shows that while the southern boundary of the state extends due west for a space from the southwestern corner of New Mexico, it then strikes northwestward at a very slight angle. The resolution seeks an arrangement with Mexico by which this bend in the southern boundary of the state would be eliminated so that the line would continue as it started, in a due east and west direction. The triangular area that would be added to the state would be about 240 miles long by about 50 miles wide at the point of greatest breadth. Bottled Up by Narrow Strip. The important consideration is that this long narrow triangle is all that separates Arizona from the sea—the Gulf of California, huge arm of the Pacific. Add it to Arizona, and overnight the state would desert the 27 inland commonwealths and join the 21 that border on salt water. With its hundreds of thousands of tons of minerals to ship, the state is now bottled up by a narrow region undeveloped and little likely to be developed by its present owner. It is felt that even the desolate, practically trailless desert, and the lack of natural harbors on the Gulf would not deter Yankee enterprise and Yankee engineering ability from laying down a trail of steel and constructing quays or pliers at which ocean steamers would soon be loading, furnishing the cheap transportation that bulky products demand. "The areas of most states are well known, even the parts sparsely populated. It is hard for dwellers in many other portions of the United States to realize, therefore, that not only is this triangle of Mexico a terra incognita, but that the portion of Arizona which adjoins it is almost equally so. Most of the region south of the Southern Pacific railroad may be thought of as a desert on which small broken rocky ranges of mountains have been superimposed. "Both north and south of the border, this region is given over almost wholly to a handful of Papago Indians with communistic customs who range as freely as did their remote ancestors, needing to give in their desolate homeland little or no thought to border-lines or to the governmental machinery of states and nations. The region—both American and Mexican—is known roughly as 'Papagueria,' and is seldom traversed by white men. "Through it the international boundary extends, the ultimate in arbitrary lines. Swerving neither to the right nor to the left it extends, a straight, geometrical line, running up sheer cliffs and over craggy peaks, hurdling great valleys and tiny arrows, crossing deserts, lava flows, and sand dunes, until it strikes the Colorado river some fifteen miles below Yuma. Indian "Noah" Saved Wolf and Beetle. "The Mexican triangle of Papaguan," which it is proposed to add to Arizona, is even a more inhospitable country than the border region. In addition to the features of the latter, it embraces a district 30 by 40 miles covered by extinct volcanic craters and an ancient lava flow, and hundreds of square miles of great towering sand dunes that create a landscape like that of parts of the Sahara. On the highest lava peaks of Pinacate, say the old Papago legends, their 'Liber Brother' landed from his cast after the deluge and after floating around the world four times. While his solicitude for animals was not as extensive as the of the Hebruc Noh, he at least managed to save a coyote and a beetle. The Papagos formerly were 'sand people' living in the sand-dune region near the lava fields, with headquarters at the few small waterholes. This region is now practically deserted. The Papagos living by dry-farming and stock-raising farther east and north. "There is no general knowledge of good natural harbors along the portion of the Gulf of California that would be included in the proposed triangular addition to Arizona, but probably there would be little difficulty in constructing harbor facilities either along Bahia Arair, which would mark the southern boundary of the addition, or northward toward the head of the Gulf. The larger sand dunes are 20 miles from the shore near the gulf head and an equal distance from the Colorado river. The most feasible railroad route probably would be from the northwest of Yunnan, extending Not Good in a Fight.

UNDERWOOD A UNDERWOOD This simple little white crepe outfit has a bit of drawn work done in contrasting color, and when worn with such a really lovely hat is an attractive getup. TWO-TONE HOSIERY IS SMART Silk and Lisle Mixtures Shown in All Shades, With or Without Colored Clocks Stockings of silk and lisle mixtures, in all shades are shown, with or without colored clocks. Combinations of silk and wool in similar shades are worn for golf and one of the smartest, perhaps, of all the sport stockings is a heavily ribbed, coarsely wool all-silk white stocking, which has a very dull finish. Woolen stockings, woven in plaids to match the Angle sweater, are still very much in favor, but these brilliant checkerboard effects have been so worked that they should only be recommended in the sober combinations of black, brown, gray and beige with white. For use with white canvas or buckskin shoes for sports or country wear, plain white lisle stockings are being shown. Two-tone silk stockings are offered for country wear in two new styles. One skilfully woven stocking (which combines a color with white) gives the two-tone effect at all times. These may be had with or without embroidered clocks, in many color combinations, including navy blue and white, black and white, and cordovan and white, Nile green and gold, or royal changeable, present one color in one light and the other in another. This changeable stocking is of medium weight and may be had in such combinations, for example, as mauve and white, Nile green and gold, or royal blue and gold, to mention only a few. In conclusion, it is perhaps unnecessary to repeat that the trend of the mode as exemplified by the selections made by women of breeding, is more and more away from the overelaborate shoe.—Vogue. DRESSES FOR LITTLE GIRLS Midsummer Frocks Are Charming In Their Simplicity and Varied in Their Colorings. The showing of little girls' dresses seems to grow more varied and interesting as the season progresses, and organdles of summery shades add to the rainbow hues that distinguish the average showroom. Midsummer dresses now on display are charming in their simplicity and varied in their colorings, and are distinguished by an unusual variety of design. White and colored organdle often are combined, and as a rule there is some hand embroidery to add a note of distinction to these pretty little "dress-up" frocks. Dotted swiss in colors, combined with white, often is seen and in the dainty party dresses an additional color note is introduced by use of a knot of gary colored flowers here and there. An especially pretty organdie model has two tiny bouquets of organdie flowers in pastel hues to add to its charm. Small ornaments of bakelite frequently are used on children's dresses, usually as a finish to the sash or as pendants on a contrasting neck cord. The Buffums are great tourists. During the summer there isn't a week-end they miss going out in their little open car. They never miss a bet. There isn't one of the better-known week-end resorts they fall to visit. But as soon as the cold weather comes the car is drained of water and the storage battery is put in the cellar until spring. Neighbors of the Buffums have noticed Mrs. Buffum making frequent visits to the garage of late, bearing covered dishes and paper packages of food. One neighbor was finally constrained to find out what these processes meant. Mrs. Buffum explained: "Our house is so hot," she said, "that we needed more ice than in summer, so I'm using the car as an icebox. And I'm saving the price of five gallons of gas a week on my ice bill." Fest of Arboriculture.
