UNITED STATES WILL PROTECT ITS EMPLOYES Postmaster General Warns Woman Who Threatened Colored Post- man With Bodily Harm If Not Removed. WRITES EMPHATIC LETTER Declares All Power at Command of Government Will Be Employed For Protection of Public Servants. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 14.—That the United States government is able to protect all of its employees and has the disposition to do so is the burden of a letter received by Mrs. Otto J. Leeds, white, of this city from Postmaster General Harry S. New. Mrs. Leeds objected to having a Colored man deliver her mail and when the local postmaster refused to remove the carrier from his route, she wrote General New, threatening bodily injury to the carrier if a white man was not placed on the district. General New's letter has won general satisfaction from both white and Colored people, not only in this state, from which he hails, but from all over the country. The letter follows: "My dear Madam:—Your letter of July 23, complaining that a Colored man is serving as mail carrier on the route on which you happen to live in Indianapolis, has been brought to my attention. I note your complaints and your implied threats directed against this man. I am further informed, as I have been on previous occasions, that you have repeatedly complained of the fact that your route was thus served, employing most intemperate language and threatening all sorts of consequences to the carrier if the matter was not arranged to your personal satisfaction. "I have to say that there are a number of Colored carriers in the service of the Indianapolis post office as there are in post offices all over the country. These men have attained their positions in accordance with the requirements of the law and the post office regulations. They are entitled to the respect to which six faithful employees of the United States Government are entitled to all times and at all places, without regard to race, color or political consideration. The Post_Office Department could not, if it would, and would not, if it could, be so unjust to this public servant as to remove him without cause. "The consequence of such a violent outburst is as contained in the letter over your signature which is now before me, and the Department would remind you that all the power this Government has at its command will be employed to protect its employees against violence or wrong resulting from anybody's prejudices, from whatever cause arising, so long as those employees faithfully discharge the duties which have been entrusted to them, which I am assured by the postmaster at Indianapolis the carrier in question does. Very respectfully yours, Harry S. New, Postmaster General." DOCTORS ASKED NOT TO GO TO TUSKEGEER Medical Association Urges Them to Stay Home Unless Colored Head Is Appointed St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 14.—Over 600 delegates from twenty states attending the National Medical Association here last week went on record as standing for a complete colored personnel at the new government hospital for colored wounded soldiers at Tuskegee. A resolution adopted also called upon colored physicians appointed to subordinate positions at Tuskegee hospital not to accept unless assured that they are to serve under Negro officials. Delegates present subscribed $13,000 to assist in the re-opening of Leonard Medical School at Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C. Thirty-five of the 180 colored hospitals in the country were represented and a Hospital Association formed. Hear Ragnall Sunday afternoon. THE MONITOR EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATION DRAWS LARGE ATTENDANCE Governor Bryan Makes Favorable Impression By Excellent Address. About 2,000 people attended the fifth annual emancipation celebration given by St. John's A. M. E. Churen at Krug Park Monday. The weather was ideal for such an outing. The observance began with a parade of attractively decorated automobiles, headed by a band and a platoon of colored police officers, through the principal streets and thence to the park, where the celebrants enjoyed themselves with the various amusements offered. Late in the afternoon there were brief addresses by the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of the church, and Rev. John Adams, the principal address being delivered by Governor Charles W. Bryan, who made a most favorable impression upon the large audience by his excellent plea for the fullest and highest educational opportunities for all citizens and his clear cut and unequivocal utterance on law and order and the equality of opportunity for all classes. The celebration culminated in a grand ball in the pavilion for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home. EX-WAITER SPENDS #100.000 Chicago, Ill., Sept. 14.—George W. Hedge- ex-dining car waiter and his wife Marie took title last week to a $100,000 twenty-four-flat apartment house at Forty-fourth an Indiana avenue. COL. STANLEY RESIGNS FROM VETS: HOSPITAL Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 14.—(Special.)—With the resignation of Col. R. H. Stanley as head of the Veterans' Hospital, and the installation of Major Chas. T. Griffin of Iowa, acting temporary head, things are beginning to take a new turn. This change, however, does not quiet things nor are the colored people of the country near satisfied. They want a colored personnel from top to bottom. The mere "swapping" of one white man for another does not suffice. It will be remembered that Col. Stanley is accused of being "Arch-Angel" of the Ku Klux Klan. His recent activities at Tuskegee made him repulsive to every self expecting Negro in the country. And while his removal from the Veterans Hospital here has helped matters a little yet the fight will continue for the thing which President Harding promised. Washington, Sept. 14.—Secretary John Doyle, of the Civil Service Commission said he had certified several colored men for superintendent of a Tuskegee Hospital but the Commission has not as yet been informed as to the name of the person who has been selected or nominated as the Medical officer in charge. Mr. Doyle would not make public the names of those certified by the Commission. Offered Position Wilson, September 14.—Dr. F. S. Hargrove, leading physician, has been entered a position on the medical staff of the U. S. War Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., that carries with it a salary of $5,000 a year and expenses. PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Wm. Franklin, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, has been attending the National Baptist convention at Los Angeles and will take a vacation before returning home. in his absence, the assistant pastor, Rev. J. D. Crum, preached a highly spiritual sermon at the morning service last Sunday on the subject, "Where there is a will there is a way." The speaker at the evening service was Rev. Mr. Sayles. A business meeting of the deacons and trustees was held at the church last Wednesday night. A box party was enjoyed by the Alabama Club Sept. 6. The leaders of the various clubs of the church are asking for the full support of their members as the time is near for paying off the indebtedness. We must not fail. A banquet will be given in honor of the pastor by the Florida Club, September 18th.

I DID Women, and Vice President of the International Council of Women of the Darker Races. Mrs. Hunton was delegate in 1913 to the World's Student Federation; in 1918 to the Allied Women's Conference in Paris, and the first Pan-African conference. in 1913 and 1921, she was delegate to the National Council of Women. She was the pioneer worker to the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. In the World War she served with remarkable credit in the A. E. F. for a year and a half, and all over the country "her boys" fondly remember her kindness and motherly care. She is the co-author of "Two Colored Women of the American Expeditionary Forces," a thrilling and frank account of the story of the Colored Soldier in France. Along with her public career Mrs. Hunton played well her part as wife and mother. Her husband was the late William Hunton, the distinguished Y. M. C. A. international secretary. She has two children, both of whom have done unusual work in college, her son, Alphears, completing three years of college work in two years and her daughter, Eunice, being the second student in the history of Smith College to receive her bachelor's and master's degree at the same time. Mrs. Hunton was recently married to Captain James Floyd of Jacksonville, Fla., well known as a sea captain, a prosperous and successful business man and a public-spirited race man. Among "her boys" are Rufus W. Long and Frank Blackwell of Omaha, whom she says were of great assistance to her in her work. She pays them a high tribute.

Bagnall, director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Fr. Bagnall is a priest of the Episcopal church, who for ten years was rector of St. Matthew's Church, Detroit, Mich., the home parish of the editor. There he did a splendid work and everything was done by his vestry to prevent his resignation to take up his present work with the N. A. A. C. P. While rector of St. Matthew's he became tremendously interested in the much needed work for racial justice which the National Association is carrying on. This eventually lead him to resign his parish and throw himself whole heartedly into his present work. He is author of a number of short stories, contributor to the Nation, the Survey, the Southern Workman, Opportunity, The Crisis, The World Tomorrow and contributing editor of The Messenger Magazine. He is a well-known orator and lecturer and is listed among the speakers of the American Forum Bureau. He has under his charge 449 branches of the Association and the oversight of its field work.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 11 LOVE PATION" COLORED MAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA Race Voters Dissatisfied With Candidates of Both Parties Because They Forget Promises "After Election" NEGROES LEARNING TO UNITE They Face the Issues Without a Compromise and Name J. Hy. Duckery, a Progressive Leader, as Candidate (Associated Negro Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 14. Considerable interest is manifested in the political situation in Philadelphia. Aside from lack of harmony in the organization, forward looking Negroes have taken a decided stand on certain political issues. The day has passed for soft talk, and in communities where the population is large, like in Philadelphia, these men and women are facing real issues, and are going on record as making no compromise. There is one thing certain, Negroes are learning to stick together as never before, and are striking out in untried fields. The latest pioneering movement in the political field is the announcement that a very progressive Negro, J. Henry Duckery, successful in business here, has filed his nomination petition and formally entered the mayoralty race. He is backed by the United Civic Association, which comprises the best element of the city's colored population, so it is said. Mr. Duckery was asked to enter the race by a committee of which John W. Sparks is chairman; Dr. Walter L. Brandon, C. J. Grant, C. A. Judge, William Bush, Harry Phillips, Isaac L. Banks, Jesse C. Evans and Arthur L. Boykin. Dr. Duckery has been a resident of Philadelphia for ten years. He has four sons and one daughter, two of the children being graduates of the University of Pennsylvania. He was born in Delaware fifty-five years ago. He has been politically active for a number of years, having during his residence of fifteen years in Boston helped to organize the colored voters, and assisted in electing a democratic mayor, governor and United States senator. The invitation to run impressed the wide-spread dissatisfaction with the other candidates in the field, and called attention to the lack of interest shown in the Negroes "after election". As expressed further in the invitation, "We may just as well face the indisputable fact that, in politics as otherwise, we are a segregated group, consistently forced to such positions after election by the willful neglect of those we helped into office. We may not be able to elect you, but hope to be able to present through you our cause for complaint against a system which denies social, civic and political justice to a citizen because of the color of his skim." RECEPTION FOR FORMER OMAHAN The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper E. Brown, 2883 Miami street, was the scene Wednesday night of a delightful social affair when a largely attended reception was given for Mrs. John H. Kelley of St. Joseph, Mo., a former resident of Omaha. The hostesses were Mesames Brown and J. M. Goff, whose house guest Mrs. Kelly is. Mrs. Kelly will leave for home Saturday morning. MOURN FOR HARDING Monrovia, Liberia, Sept. 14. Americans in Liberia held a memorial service recently for the late President Harding. Bishop Matthew W.

THE LOGIC OF MARCUS GARVEY MARCUS GARVEY writes from the Tombs inveighing against the N. A. A. C. P. in his usual tirade. This organization, cordially hated by the Southern whites, denounced by the Ku Klux Klan as its worst enemy, feared by Negro haters, the champion of full rights for all Negroes, is really, says Garvey, a conspiracy to keep down dark Negroes and really hates Negroes for whom it is working. When it fights lynching, jim-crowing, peonage, injustice to Negroes in courts; when it saves the Arkansas prisoners, arouses America about its shame, seeks to pass a federal anti-lynching bill, saves Tom Ray and Bullock from death; when it fights segregation and wins civil rights and opportunities for Negroes, it is really working as their enemy, says Garvey. This is the most remarkable logic we have ever read to come from the pen of a man. Robert W. Bagnall has maintained that Garvey is a paranoic and adduces much reason to prove it. This looks as though he might be right. In this article in the deliberate falsehood to bolster his case, which lowers him in the face, he thought him a bigger man. He states that he attended St. Matthew's Episcopal church, Detroit, when the Rev. Robert Bagnall, now director of branches of the N. A. C. P. was rector, and also attended in cognito St. Philip's church, New York, and that neither of these churches allow black people to sit in the front pew. This is absolutely false. We personally know both of these parishes well and have known them for years. Black people are on the vestry of both these parishes, act as ushers, sing in the choir and sit anywhere. Garvey's visit to St. Matthew's, Detroit, and the refusal to permit Negroes to occupy a front pew existed only in his imagination. There is something lamentably wrong with Garvey's logic and Garvey's facts as set forth in the last issue of The Negro World. SHAMEFUL COWARDICE THE city commissioners who voted for the suspension of the morals squad who obeyed orders are guilty of shameful cowardice. If they are after Butler why not have the courage to attack him? Why should they strike at him through subordinates who are carrying out orders? The whole thing is rotten. Citizens are becoming disgusted with this coarse horse play. Cut it out. Nebras Chapter Thirteen Enacted in 1893. Sec. 1.

GAMBLING AND GAMBLING CAMBLING is a bad ing. But GAMBLING is a bad thing. But there is gambling and gambling. Strictly speaking, gambling may be understood, as gaming in its worse sense, and as implying professional play for a money stake by men who are unscrupulous adepts at so-called games of chance. But in a less objectionable sense nearly all of us are gamblers in the sense of striving in business, games of play for a prize or stake. Ladies who play for prizes, for example, in whist or bridge, have no room for criticizing others, either men or women, who indulge in like games of cards or billiards or pool where the stakes are money. Professional gambling is indefensible. Unprofessional gambling has its dangers and there is a whole lot of unprofessional gambling going on among good and well-meaning people who with great inconsistency criticize other people for doing precisely what they themselves are doing under another form. SAME TACTICS IT LOOKS very much like politicians are trying their best or worst to gain control of and manipulate the Omaha police force. The same old tactics of charge and counter charge which lead up to the disgraceful court house riot of a few years ago seem to be in vogue. If the "ins" and "outs" want to keep up their disgraceful wrangling to the disgust of long-suffering tax-payers and to the discredit of our city, fair warning is sounded by The Monitor that we want these designing gentlemen to leave the Negro out of the fight. The liasons of pool hall loafers and their paramours must not again be used as excuses or justification for endangering the lives of law-abiding and self-respecting citizens. GLEANED FROM NEGRO AUTHOR'S PRINCIPLES OF GROWTH THE PRINCIPLES of growth and mastery in a race, a nation or people are the same all over the globe. The same great agencies which are needed to make a people in one quarter of the globe and in one period of time are needed here, at this time, in this American nationality. We children of Africa in this land are no way different from other people in these respects. Many of the differences of races are slight and incidental and oftimes become obliterated by cr- ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Nek cumstances, position and religion. I can take you back to a period in the history of England when its rude inhabitants lived in caves and huts, when they fed on bark and roots, when their dress was the skins of animals. When you next look at some eminent Englishman, the personification perchance, of everything cultivated, graceful and refined, you may remember that his distant ancestors were wild and bloody savages, and that it has taken ten centuries to change him from the rudeness of his brutalized forefathers into an enlightened and civilized human being.—From "The Social Principle Among a People" by Rev.

THE MONITOR RETAIN DRESS OF ANCESTORS Costumes in Yucatan Are Much the Same New as They Were in the Long Age. The modern Yucatan laborer has retained the dress of his ancestor, wearing crude sandals, white flaring trousers, a white jacket with a row of pockets along the bottom seam, and a colored apron wound around his hips and tucked in at the waist. The trousers are made of white duck, while cheaper trousers, work shirts and jackets are made from coarse, unbleached sheeting, locally known as "manta cruda." The apron contains a little more than a yard of cloth, and is made of ticking. The working women wear white dresses made from such materials as bleached sheeting, cambric and long-cloth, and usually trimmed around the neck, armholes and bottom with stamped flowered strips which are made especially for this trade. White drill and cotton are used for suitings for men's clothing, blue drill principally for suits of railway employees, dock laborers and mechanics, and other articles for purposes similar to those of other countries. No statistics of the imports of cotton piecegoods are available, but local conditions tend to give it considerable importance and volume. The natives of Yucatan take particular pride in the neatness and cleanliness of their clothing, the extent to which this is carried out being dependent largely on the economic conditions prevailing in the state. CLING TO ANCIENT CUSTOMS Gypsies Today Rigidly Observe the "Laws" That Have Been Their Guidance for Centuries. The gypsies of Great Britain have some very peculiar customs, which are very rigidly observed. No gypsy regards the dog as other than an uncle servant. One of them liking a frying pan, the utensil is straightway put into the embers to burn away the evil. Another, more strict, drove a stake through the bottom of a bucket from which his dog had lapped a drink. There is no gainsaying the true gypsy's regard for these ancient customs. He is terrified at the slightest departure from proper methods and precautions. His women must not act in the slack manner of the gajos around them. An engaged girl, for instance, must sit outside the camp circle when suitors are announced. She is not in the market, and other girls are. The love story of a gypsy is a public affair—that is according to custom, not to any fear of moral lapse. it seems rather odd that with all these laws the gypsies should not regard the church marriage with great favor. They look upon such as merely a whim and the strictly orthodox have a great objection to going into the presence of corpses. Dog Objected to Ceremony. A woman had engaged a man servant who was new to his job, and among other things she had instructed him to always bring anything into the drawing-room on salver. A visitor called one day with a large and ferocious-looking dog, which was left outside. When the visitor was about to go, however, his hostess wished to see the dog, so she rang the bell and told the man to bring it in. Some minutes elapsed, but he did not appear. Suddenly the sound of angry growls, snarls and barks was heard, so the bell was rung again and the man entered carrying the salver, but with a look of distress on his face. "Pardon me, madam," he said, with "a deferential cough," "but I could not indoce the hanimal to sit on the salver." "E knocked me down three times and bit my leg somethin' cruel. If the gentleman wants 'im, 'e's still outside." Clock Comparatively New. The modern clock is a comparatively new invention, and is credited to a German inventor, named Hendy de Vick, A. D. 1364. The fundamentals of De Vick's clock were identical with those of today, with the exception that he did not find out the use of the pendulum, but regulated his clock by means of balance wheels. Charles V of France was much interested in this new clock and commanded De Vick to come to Paris and install a clock in the large turret of his palace in Paris. Wanted to Speed Up the Case. Wanted to Speed Up the Case. At one stage of a tedious trial a lawyer produced some 500 checks and began introducing them into evidence one at a time. As each check required a lot of "proving" the judge thought they might well be bunched to save time. So he asked of the attorney: "Why don't you put some coal on the fire?" "Your honor, I am putting coal on the fire," returned the attorney. "Take a shovel. You're using a tablepoon," said the judge. That Nailed Him. "Young lady." responded the business man gravely, "last week you asked me to help the Babylonians. After an investigation, I find that the Babylonians have all been gone for 2,000 years." "Then you'd better help the Patagonians while you've got a chance." He gave her a check. People Must Be Informed.

Distinction Accorded to Great Tribes Which Long Opposed the Advance of White Settlers. With the possible exception of the much less generally known Qibway, the Sioux is the largest tribe of American Indians north of Mexico, says a bulletin of the National Geographical society. The unforgettable names and the dramatic incidents that the history of the Sioux has yielded are sufficient alone to give them a prominent place whenever Indians are the subject of thought. Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Rain-in-the-Face, and the redoubtable Sitting Bull were Sioux. The Sioux have had a greater hand at furnishing our best-known geographic names than any other division of Indians, Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Omaha, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri are a few examples, most of them the names of Siouan sub-tribes. The Sloux call themselves "Dakotaas." "Sloux" is a contraction of a French corruption of an Ojibway word meaning "little snakes" or "enemies." Until comparatively recently the Sloux have been consistent enemies of the new Americans. They assisted the English both during the American Revolutionary war and the War of 1812, and practically every advance westward which the white settlers have since made has been vigorously contested by the Sloux. THOUSANDS JOINED IN LAUGH Sound in Theater Described as a "Sert of Chaotic Shriek, Not in the Least Human." It happened at a performance of "Israel in Egypt" during the Handel festival of 1850. The queen was present, and Costa, the conductor, conceived the happy idea that the audience should join with chorus and orchestra in the performance of the national anthem, in honor of her majesty, which feature he proposed to introduce with sonorous roll of drums. The idea was all right, but the final hitch came when the drummer could not bear what Costa said, and the latter tried to convey his meaning by guttural vocal sounds, while he beat an imaginary drum with his baton! Chorus and orchestra gazed at these unseemly antics at a loss, and then someone tittered. It was catching; and in less than a moment, five thousand people were helpless with laughter. The infection spread to the audience, and all sense of decorum fled as the laughter swelled from five, to thirty-two thousand voices. "It was a sort of chaotic shriek, not in the least human, but worth hearing for once," wrote a spectator of the scene. Thankful for Typewriter. We wonder now how folks ever got along without an instrument which produces legible manuscript. It may in time reduce the knowledge of chilography to the mere matter of penning one's own name, but how much time it has saved already from deciphering illegible writing is beyond computation. The typewriter makes for speed, but the greatest boon it conferred has been in removing the need for the scrawl with the pen. While many of the present-day utilities which are indispensable have had their development in the last half century, for those whose job it is to make records or grind out "copy" none is entitled to a higher rank than the typewriter, which produces that which may be read easily. And from those on whom falls the duty of reading what others have written, blessings are showered on those who have brought the typewriter into such general use.—Exchange.

Wide variety of entertainment with the amusement making cast in two colors is the schedule for next week's show at the popular Gayety theatre starting Saturday matinee, Sept. 15. This attraction is "Jimmie Cooper's Revue" with irrepressible Jimmie as chief entertainer of the big aggregation of 70 people. Cooper is a whole show in himself, for few, if any men on the stage are as full of pep as this indomitable worker. He is here, there and everywhere every moment that the curtain is up, urging the members of his company from top notch principal to the least important chorus girl on to greater effort. The Cooper revue is divided into two parts, the first being given over to white actors exclusively and the second to colored ones. After the intermission the blacks give their own show which is said to be one of the liveliest and most tuneful combinations of jazz, harmony and "blues" singing seen and heard in many a day. Heading the white aggregation of entertainers in support of Mr. Cooper are Grace Goodale, as prima donna; Dolly Benfield as soubrette; Alice Belaire as ingeneue; Joe Barrett as juvenile and the Blossom Sisters in a very pleasing sister act. In the colored half of the company are Julian Arthur's Ten Red Hot Syncopaters; Bessie DeSoto, a colored dancing marvel from Plantation Days; Snow Fisher, famous strutter formerly with "Shuffle Along;" Brownie, one of the most talented strutters from "Liza" and the Four "Dancing Fools." Sunday's matinee will start at 3:00. There will be an extra midnite show starting at 11:30 Thursday night, half an hour after the termination of the regular 8:30 performance. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. E. H. McDonald, Pastor. Rev. Mr. Parker from Calvary Baptist Church, preached for his morning theme, "David," and in the evening, "In Disguise." Among the visitors was Rev.
