ASK U.S. TROOPS GUARD TUSKEGEE LIFTING LIFT TOO NEGRO HOSPITAL IS ENTIRELY IN HANDS OF SOUTHERN RING NEGRO HOSPITAL IS ENTIRELY IN HANDS OF SOUTHERN RING Personal of Defunct Institutions Being Rapidly Transferred to Positions at Tuskegee Plant SOUTH PROVIDES FOR OWN Executive Order From President Harding Believed to be Only Method of Employing Race. (By MELVIN CHISUM) Tuskegee, Ala., July 5.—The Associated Press dispatch recently to the contrary notwithstanding, there is no intention of the Vteerans' Bureau of placing voled people in charge of the work at the Tuskegee Veterans' Bureau Hospital. The releases sent out from from the White House and appearing in the papers are pure buncombe. The crackers in the Veterans' Bureau ran Forbes until they wrecked him and they are doing the same thing to Gen. Hines. Gen. Hines sits in his office and calls upon them for this report and the other and they lie to him as they lied to Forbes, tell him one thing and do another. I am sure that Mr. Hines thinks that he knows what he is writing about, but the crackers in the Bureau are running the thing. The application blanks sent out to the doctors and nurses is a technical test and is the only examination given them. This is the only regulation employed to qualify white people and all this noise about colored people not being able to qualify is pure buncombe. There is not now and never has been the slightest intention on the part of the crackers who run the Veterans' Bureau to allow colored professionals to operate the Tuskegee Hospital. Almost a year ago, it was decided to curtail expenses by closing up two of the hospitals in the South because they have two for one in every other section of the country; the ones to be closed are one at Mobile, Ala., and one at Greenville, S. C., and the personnel officer of the bureau acting under the orders of the clyest, most poorly informed official in the bureau, Col. Hams, the executive officer of the Bureau, has shifted the personnel from these defunct institutions to the Tuskegee Hospital. They have been very skillful in the manipulation, by shifting some of them to other places temporarily, but they are all billeted to eventually go to Tuskegee. Col. Iiams at Fault. Delay and disinclination on the part of Colonel George A. Ijams, a North Carolina white Democrat, to staff the hospital with colored people, is held responsible for the situation at present. Field letter, Number 78, issued by Ijams from the U. S. Veterans' Bureau states: The chief nurse, chief aids, chief dietitian, and their assistants will be white. The staff nurses, aides, and dietitians will probably be colored. The medical officer selected to take charge of this hospital will be from the Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service, of Southern birth, and one who thoroughly understands the Negro. Mrs. L. H. Payne, 1114 E. Leigh street, Richmond, makes public the following letter showing how she was turned down when she applied for one of the positions at the hospital: "On March 13, I received reply from W. M. Cobb, chief of personnel, advising that I take the matter up with the American Red Cross. "This I did, and on March 17, I received two application blanks from this headquarters, directing that they be filled and return one to that office and forward the other to Miss Elizabeth Wisner, Atlanta, Ga. This was done immediately. On March 23rd, Miss Wisner informed me by official correspondence, that the plan was "to use only white workers on the social service staff." More than fifty such letters addressed to both nurses and physicians by officials in the Veterans' Bureau and Civil Service Commission indicates that these applicants are being turned down in order to prove that the colored race has not sufficient qualified nurses and physicians to take charge of the hospital. With a known prejudice existing in the Civil Service Bureau and the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, it becomes plainer every day, that it will require an executive order of the President to THE MONITOR cut the red tape and place colored physicians and surgeons in charge of the Veterans' Hospital. 55.522 PLOWS IDLE IN GEORGIA Atlanta, July 6.—Within the past three and a half years, 228,938 colored people have migrated from Georgia to the north, according to figures compiled here by the Georgia Bankers' Association. During the first six months in 1923, 77,500 Negroes have left the 'state, and for the same period 29,513 whites have left the farms of Georgia, the figures show. As a result of this exodus, the report stated, from the rural communities, 46,674 farm dwellings have been left vacant, and estimating thirty acres to the plow there are 55,522 idle plows. Labor shortage on the farms is estimated at 70,743 on June 15. $15,000 FOR MONUMENT Chicago, ill., July 6—Governor Len Small signed the bill passed by the state legislature appropriating $15,000 for a monument to colored soldiers killed in the World War, last Friday afternoon. The Governor said it was the only bill for a monument he had signed this session. 500 IN SUMMER SCHOOL Greensboro, N.

SUPREME COURT ORDERS RELEASE OF ELAINE FARMERS Men Twice Sentenced to Death Are Released After Determined Fight of More Than Four Years JUSTICE FINALLY TRIUMPHS Action Believed to Mark Beginning of End of Infamous Arkansas Riot Cases of 1919. Washington, D. C, July 5.—Flashing over the wires from Arkansas to New York and Washington came the news late Monday, June 25th, that six Elaine farmers, held for more than four years, following the fatal Arkansas race riot, had been ordered released from prison by the Arkansas Supreme Court. The news of the release of these six men is believed to really mark the "beginning of the end," for all the men, and has brought to its final stage one of the most unique and tragic injustices the race has ever been forced to undergo. Influential colored citizens, civic and fraternal organizations, headed by the N. A. A. C. P., have staged an unceasing barrage of protests ever since the men were arrested. More than $14,000 has been spent in a mammoth effort to keep the ends of justice unthwarted, and to release the sixteen fortunate men who had been slapped into prison at the height of the disorder. Twice convicted by the Phillips County Court, and with the decision twice reversed by order of the State Supreme Court. the case was brought to a head early this year, when Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association, appeared before the United States Supreme Court in a final plea for justice. In his speech, Attorney Storey charged that the sixteen men had been practically "railroaded" to the electric chair. The courts of Arkansas, newspapers, leading citizens, the Rotary Club, American Legion and other organizations were included in the startling revelations. Storey declared in his brief that torture of the most vicious nature was employed "to make the prisoners testify falsely, mob hysteria dominated their trial, which is alleged to have taken place in less than an hour. At that time, he declared that he had "distinct evidence" that 200 or 300 colored men were killed during the rioting,, that the citizens of Helena "were determined that these men should be convicted," and that "they manufactured the evidence for the purpose." The sixteen men for whom Storey pleaded at that time were first sentenced to death in 1919, following their alleged participation in the riots, when it is said white farmers tried to A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAH, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1923 EUROPE MORE IMMIGRANTS REJECTED FOREIGN IMMIGRANTS (Copyright, W. N. U.) Marcus Garvey: Interpreter of Discontent WE DO NOT know the man. We only know that he was, nay is, the central figure in a great movement. His conviction in our judgment, may temporarily impede, but it will never stop the great social movement to which he has given the impulse. His conviction and imprisonment may give impetus to that movement. We believe it will, for his enthusiastic followers and disciples, either rightfully or wrongfully, will look upon him as a victim of persecution and hence a martyr. That "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church," is a truth that has been verified in social and political movements, no less than in the Christian Church. It is therefore not improbable that Garveyism may be advanced by the same influence; for Garveyism is a great social movement, which cannot be ignored. It would not have gained the magnitude it has attained but for the fact that Marcus Garvey has made articulate, whatever his mistakes may have been, the dison- tent at exploitation by dominant groups in all parts of the world, of the black race. Dissatisfaction with this domineering domination unobedient exists and is growing. There are those who believe that the black man can never come into the full possession and enjoyment of his rights as a man where the vaunted "white man's civilization" exists. There be those, for example, who look upon the black man's status in the United States as virtually static and hopeless. They maintain that here he will always be an underling and the victim of galling discrimination. We are not place colored workers in a state of bondage and peonage. Brief Review of Case. It was contended at the trial in behalf of the accused colored men that they had assembled in their church at Hoop Spur, in Phillips county, October 1, 1919, to devise means as tenant farmers to relieve themselves of conditions which they asserted amounted to peonage. While so assembled, the men claimed that armed whites surrounded the church and fired upon them, killing a number. This marked the beginning of one of the fiercest race riots in the history of the country. For days armed posses of men of both races hunted each other as one would hunt an animal. Scores were killed in the outburst, and it is claimed that colored women were subjected to the most brutal torture and suffered untold indignities. On behalf the State, it was asserted that the condemned men had assembled in connection with a plot to massacre white men, and that the firing was done by a posse sent to quell the riot. Decision Marks Real Triumph. The decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court marks a real triumph, not only for the organizations which interested themselves so unsparingly, but for the entire race. The petition was based on a statute Looking for Red Spots An Editorial by John Albert Williams of those who share this belief. We believe that here on this American continent, in these United States, the black man or Negro, as he is generally called, will work out his destiny and attain his full manhood rights. Less than this he ought not and will not be contented with. More than this he ought not and does not expect. Despite much that would seem to augur against this we have the faith to believe that it is even now coming to pass, surely but slowly. There are, however, many who hold the opposite opinion, that expressed by Garvey that the hope of the Negroid or black races of the world lies in the erection of a great black empire or republic, in which the race will be supreme. Garvey sees this Empire or Kingdom in Africa. Many of our American youth of color are looking to the Latin republics of South America as the mecca of their dreams and ambitions. Others have a dream of the colonization of one or more of the thinly populated western states where a sovereign state controlled by the race from the governor down may become a reality. Inchoate and indefinite as all these dreams may appear they are more substantial than the things of which dreams are made. Garveyism is the groping for this ideal. To realize this Garvey conceived gigantic commercial enterprises, the Black Star Steamship line and the allied industries and succeeded in raising vast sums to finance them. That they failed is to be regretted. But commercial and industrial success among the white race is strewn with failures. So will it be with us. He which provides that unless a $_{1,2}$ date for trial is set by the court within two terms from the indictment, the defendants are entitled to dismissal. The attorneys for the men contended that their cases had been pending for two terms, and that, although they had filed motions in each term to have the day set for trial, the court had not set the day and that they were, consequently, entitled to dismissal under the statute. GARVEY'S EFFORTS TO SECURE BAIL NOT SUCCESSFUL Third Application For Release of Convicted Head of U. N. I. A. on Bond Pending Appeal Denied. PRISONERMAKES STATEMENT Has Nothing to Regret and is Willing to Serve Any Sentence Imposed Conscious of Service to Race. New York, July 5.—Attempts by Marcus Garvey to obtain his release on bail, following his conviction of using the mails to defraud in the sale of Black Star steamship stock, failed. Judge Rogers, in the Federal Cir- was convicted upon one count: using the mails to defraud, by continuing to sell stock in the Black Star Steamship line when he knew it was insolvent. Illegal, true. Dishonest, granted. Yet much depends upon the motive. He gambled for a big stake. Doubtless he hoped to win. Could he have secured sufficient capital to have financed his great projects perhaps none would have lost. Inexperience and ignorance were causes contributory to failure. Garvey fought against tremendous odds. Being an egotist and autocrat he doubtless alienated many who could have helped him. But after all is said and done the significant fact to bear in mind is this, that Garvey impersonates the growing consciousness of the black races of the earth that they must unite and unify their forces, commercially, industrially, politically and religiously to resist exploitation and attain their place in the sun. This/spirit is abroad. It cannot be ignored. Whereunto it will grow, who dare prophesy? Garvey's violation of the law is to be regretted. His fall should cause no rejoicing upon the part of any of our group no matter how widely we may differ from him or question the wisdom of his methods. We believe he was actuated by the best of motives and moved by a sincere desire to help the race. Whatever of truth there may be in Garveyism it will survive and triumph even though its founder pays the full penalty of the law's violation within the walls of the federal Prison at Leavenworth. Men die, but great social movements survive. cuit Court of Appeals, denied without prejudice the application for bail made by Garvey's lawyer, Armn Kohn. Judge Rogers gave no reasons for the refusal. The dismissal without prejudice will enable Garvey's lawyer to make further efforts to obtain his freedom pending appeal. Mrs. Garvey was present when the new attempt to get her husband's release was made. Garvey remained in his cell at the Tombs. Besides the $11,000 fine and the five years in the penitentiary, the costs in the case, amounting to about $5,000 have been assessed against Garvey. Upon his own request he was allowed to go back to the Tombs prison, rather than to the Atlanta Penitentiary pending the appeal of his case to a higher court. Like Stage Tragedy. The closing scenes of the trial were reminiscent of the end of a stage tragedy. The Garvey who faced the Court to hear his sentence pronounced was not the Garvey of summer linens, gold monocle, fancy leather shoes, strident voice and blustering manner. Not the Garvey who discharged a lawyer to act as his own attorney, who transfixed witnesses with his belligerent stare and pointing finger and who demanded of the Court his constitutional rights. Instead he was Whole Number 417 State Historical Society the SaSamson shorn of his power awaiting his doom from the Philistines. A dozen deputy marshals; 20 Department of Justice agents, a force of bomb squad men, at least fifteen Secret Service men and six uniformed patrolmen were scattered thru the court room and corridor. Known friends of Garvey were not among the few hundred admitted unless they had passes Mrs. Garvey was there and they exchanged glances frequently. Garvey Makes Statement. "We are a low-abiding people," said Garvey, when asked if he had anything to say before sentence was passed. "We have done and desire to do nothing contrary to the laws of the United States, which is the greatest country on earth and whose laws are the fairest and most just of any land in the world. There have been reports that I would do or incite something contrary to law (meaning in retaliation for his conviction), but as I am a man of intelligence, that is too ridiculous for consideration. "I have absolutely nothing to regret. I am willing to serve any sentence the court may impose, secure in my knowledge of the service I have rendered to my race, whose day will yet have its dawning." Regretted Outbreak He expressed regret for his outbreak against Assistant District Attorney Mattuck when he was convicted. and Mattuck responded that there was no vindictiveness on his part. "I am glad the defendant made the statement he just uttered," said Judge Mack. The Court took offense at no time to anything during the trial realizing that patience is required when a man acts as his own lawyer." Judge Mack granted a stay of execution of the sentence to Atlanta, explaining that he wished to give Garvey the choice of going to Leavenworth if he preferred, but that the original sentence must be to the Georgia prison and a transmer could only be effected by application to the Attorney General. Prosecutor Mattuck said he would make the application personally.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX. No. 1 KEGEE REQUEST MADE FOR FEDERAL TROOPS TO GUARD TUSKEGEE National Advancement Association Wires President Harding to Protect Head of Famous School. FOLLOWS PARADE OF KLAN Alahamams Have Threatened Lives of Moton and Colored Doctors If Sent to Veterans' New York, July 6.—Because of the stand taken by Dr. Rusa R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute, who favored a colored personnel for the Negro Veterans hospital, which was promised when it was decided to erect this institution, his life has been frequently threatened and only a few months ago Tuskegee was virtually in a state of siege. The South has insisted and the Veterans bureau, as available correspondence shows, has acquiesced in the plan, that whites should man the hospital and protesting against the employment of colored physicians and nurses. It has been openly threatened that if colored physicians are certified and attempt to take their place in the hospital they will be killed. A parade of the Ku Klux Klan was pulled off Tuesday evening and it was asserted by spokesmen for the Klan that the demonstration symbolized the protest of 50,000 klansmen of Alabama against the placing of a Negro personnel to man the hospital. The previous threats of mob violence and this demonstration has lead the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to wire President Harding requesting that federal troops be sent to guard Tuskegee. The telegram was sent Thursday and reads: "National Association for Advancement of Colored People, representing 100,000 American citizens, asks that federal troops be sent to Tuskegee, Ala., to protect colored doctors sent to United States Veterans' hospital to care for Negro world war veterans. Lives of these United States doctors, and security of Tuskegee institute, an internationally known agency, making have protection against lawless defiance of government. We urge especially federal protection for R. R. Moton, successor to Booker T. Washington, whose life has been threatened." MITCHELL RESIGNS AS Petersburg, Va., July 6—John Mitchell, Jr., grand chancellor of the Pythians of Virginia, resigned his office at the state meeting last week. Mr. Mitchell is under a sentence for three years, pending an appeal, on charges growing out of the receivership of the Mechanics Bank.

NOT ONLY should it be a cause of rejoicing among our own group but among all Americans because of the triumph of justice in the case of so-called "rioters" of Elaine. Arkansas; for, little as we may think of it, violence cannot be done the humblest American citizen, black or white, without retroactive and retributive effect upon the whole people. In like manner the triumph of justice for the humblest has its retroactive influence upon all. All Americans, therefore, should rejoice that the attempt to rape justice in the case of the Negro farmers of Phillips county, Arkansas, has been thwarted. Credit for this must be cheerfully accorded the Nationall Association for the Advancement of Colored People; nor must it be forgotten that influential and justice-loving white men and women even in Arkansas allied themselves with the fight that the N. A. A. C. P. was making for justice and to save the lives of innocent men, victims of an almost unbelievable conspiracy. It was a battle for justice waged against tremendous odds that would have discouraged even stout hearts before the conflict began but confident that it was in the right the National Association never wavered until its far-reaching victory was achieved. It did more than save the lives of innocent men. It established a precedent, the wide-flung influence of which will become more apparent as the years go by. Let us thank God for this signal victory won for us through the instrumentality of the great organization He has raised up for us and give to it our hearty support and cooperation. THE HOSPITAL MUDDLE CORRESPONDENCE recently given publicity concerning the manning of the United States Hospital for Negro Veterans at Tuskegee shows duplicity and chicanery upon the part of persons high up in government affairs which fills one with disgust. It is anything but creditable to persons who have any sense of honor. From our viewpoint, as we have hitherto Nebras Chapter Thirteen Enacted in 1893.

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. contended, a separate hospital of this kind is entirely uncalled for and out of place because we hold that any American citizen, be his race, color or religion what it may, who is good enough to shed his blood for the defense of this country or suffer impairment of health in its defense, is good enough to be taken care of in the government hospitals established for that purpose and that without distinction or discrimination. Any other policy is ungrateful, cowardly and hypocritical. But it was decreed that this separate hospital for Negro veterans should be established. It was announced, as subsidization of opposition and a balm to uneasy consciences, that the personnel of the medical and nursing staff would be colored, giving the race wonderful opportunities, a policy justified by that of segregation. Subsequent developments indicate a policy ofVACIATION, duplicity and falsification which reflects seriously upon certain members of a racial group which prides itself upon its superiority and high ethical standards.

His name was Osiris and believe us, Mabel, he was some pumpkins in his day. Egypt claims that Mr. Osiris and his wife, Isis, came from Ethiopia and decided that the Nile country was a nifty spot to build a nation. With the black mud Osiris started making the men, while Isis made the women. When they had turned out enough, Mr. and Mrs. taught them civilization. Then came the murder of Osiris, the search of Isis for his body, the conquest of his enemies by his son, Horus, and the founding of that great secret order from which modern Masonry comes. Sort of queer, when you start to think of it, how cullud folks are so mixed up and tangled in the wonders of the ancient world! It used to be that the historian laid it down that the only thing we ever did from the beginning of time was to tote water and chop kindling. But somehow "things ain't like they used to was."

Phone L-4434 246 No. 9th St. Lincoln, Nebraska Morality for Its Own Sake. "It is surprising," says a ponderous gentleman. "how few philosophical writers have ever reached other than a perfectly commonplace conclusion in regard to practical morality." There is no other conclusion to reach. Morality is good conduct for its own sake; no one can come to other than a commonplace conclusion about it.—E. W. Howe's Monthly. Bricklayers Have Long Lives. Masons and bricklayers are among the longest-lived men, being exceeded only by blacksmiths and farmers, according to figures furnished by the United States Department of Labor. Thought for the Day.

Days of the hike picnic are here The hike picnic differs from the old-fashioned sedentary picnic in that the picnickers do not sit on the grass, but walk on it. It is an entirely peripatetic social function, except when those who walk stop briefly for rest or luncheon. These walking clubs now exist in cities all over the country. From the first one in Washington, they have multiplied greatly. New York city has hundreds of them, so that a whole page is devoted in some of the dailies to mapping out and describing "routes" in the nearby country. Recently, in Kansas City, a walking excursion was advertised on a certain day, to which the invitation was general, and more than 1,000 excursionists were on hand on the bright and sunny morning with which the event was favored. It might have suggested the beginning of Peter the Hermit's celebrated hike, although this time banners were neglected. If hikes are to become one of the great outdoor diversions it may not be long until armies move down the country roads armed with sandwiches and tin drinking cups, filling the air with songs and conversational clamor of the populace—St. Louis Globe Democrat. ASSOCIATE SOUND AND COLOR Both Children and Adults, Frequently Unconsciously, Link the Two in Their Minds. Mr. Horace B. English sends an account of the following interesting incident to Science Magazine. It seems to indicate the manner in which children, and many adults as well, come to associate sounds with colors. Fulton (aged three years, eleven months, listening to the phonograph) —Daddy, I think soft music is yellow. Dr. P. (his father, a distinguished chemist)—Yellow? And what color is loud music? Fulton—Well, it is black. Dr. P—And what is blue music like? Fulton—Blue music is loud, but not so loud as the black music. Dr. P—Tell me, why is soft music yellow? Fulton (after thinking a moment)—Well, when you mark with yellow crayon on paper, you can't see it very well, but when you mark with black you can. British Engineers Busy. Contracts for engines and railroad stocks for foreign and Colonial customers have been booked by British firms in such volume as to keep their engineers and laborers hard at work for months to come. Beardmore and Company of Glasgow have obtained an order for the reconstruction of repairing workshops of Portuguese railroads and are making 27 locomotives and 3,350 pairs of wheels for Indian railroads. Beyer, Peacock and Company, Ltd., of Gorton, Manchester, have booked an order for 30 locomotives from the East Indian Railway company. Beardmore and Company also will make three engines for East Burmah, and the Vulcan company of Manchester is manufacturing 35 locomotives for India. Altogether British engineering firms have recently booked orders from abroad for close upon $10,000,000. Staid Lady and Pink Garters Staid Lady and Pink Garder. I am of somewhat a ladia of mature years, whom no one would suspect of wearing a pair of pink ruffy garters. But I had a new pair, nevertheless, and being rather tight, to ease myself, I pulled them down around my ankles when eating breakfast, on a nice spring morning recently. I started out. I was tripping along happily when I happened to glance downward. Horrors! There were those pink garters around my ankles, and my skirt was after the flapper type. There was nothing to do but stoop and pull them up. A hasty glance over my shoulder revealed a man behind me with a broad grin on his face. I lost no time in turning a corner.-Chicago Tribune. Poison Cure for Rheumatism. Forty-seven rattlesnakes captured at Black's creek, about twelve miles from Boise, Idaho, have been sent by Robert Limbert to the Dutch government for experimental work. The Dutch government is perfecting a serum which, when combined with the poison from rattlesnakes and injected into the muscles will, it is claimed, cure rheumatism. Limbert said. It took less than an hour and a quarter to bag the reptiles. They were found in a space 20 feet square. Limbert stated that the removal of the fangs does not, as commonly believed, render a skin harmless, for other fangs will grow in about three weeks. Defining the Sex. Little Evelyn was in the grocery store with her baby brother Billy the other day. A man went by and spoke to Billy. The baby did not answer, whereupon the gentleman said to Evelyn, "She won't speak to me today." Evelyn proudly answered, "She ain't a her; he's a him." Too Firm.

Such crude methods as gassing and poison- ing having been ineffective, the insect 4s going to be lured to his doom through his sense of smell. At least stich is the hope of the department experts.
