M. Johnson Manufacturing Company plant, at Fourth and Patton streets, shortly after midnight last Thursday night entailing a loss of more than $75,000. The company manufactures mine safety devices which have been recognized by leading mine experts throughout the country as the best on the market, and if they had been installed in the Dolmite mine in Alabama, the frightful toll of life would have been avoided. The structure was a large three-story frame building formerly used as grist mill. Thousands of dollars worth of patterns and drawings were completely destroyed. George M. Johnson, a native of Roanoke, Va., was for a number of years master mechanic for the Pittsburgh Coal Company, prior to the invention and development of the seventeen different safety devices, which he has covered with over forty-five patients. It is said that the officials of the company have been conducting a special stock selling campaign to erect a steel structure with about ten times the room of the building destroyed by fire for the purpose of having ample room to take care of their large business. It is claimed that the contract had already been let to a large concern in Youngsown, O., for the erection of a large steel structure on a large site just outside of the city as the new home of the G. M. Johnson Manufacturing Company and work was scheduled to start on the new structure within a few days. The Johnson devices are now in use on more than a thousand coal mines in all parts of the country. Among some of the large concerns using these devices are: The Henry Ford Collieries; M. A. Hanna Companies; Consolidation Coal Company; Pittsburgh Coal Company; H. C. Frick Coke Company; Carnegie Steel Company; U. S. Steel Corporation; Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Co.; Carnegie Coal Co.; Hillman Coal and Coke Co., as well as concerns owner fewer mines. The concerns named have from 20 to 200 mines each. It is said that the loss was only partially covered by insurance. On account of the enormous growth of the business during the past year, the old plant was largely used for keeping stock and the patterns. Mr. Johnson said: "This awful disaster is very damaging just at this time as we have more than $200,000 worth of orders promised for delivery before the end of this year. This fire makes it impossible." GOVERNOR PINCHOT PROMISES PROMPT ACTION AND PROTECTION Pennsylvania Executive Wires League He Will Stop Departure of Citizens at Stowe. Boston, Mass., Oct. 19.—A protest telegram sent by the National Equal Rights League, Rev. T. J. Moppins, president, on Wednesday, October 10, against the driving out of colored people from Stowe Township, Penn, because a colored man killed a white man, brought an answer today from Governor Gifford Pinchot himself, to the League, promising action. The telegram, dated Harrisburg, Penn., Oct. 13, 1922, read as follows: Wm. M. Trotter, Secretary National Equal Rights League, 103 Court St. Boston, Mass. Your telegram of Oct. 10th, concerning alleged driving of Colored citizens from Stowe Township, Allegheny County, received. I have no information of such action, am starting immediate inquiry and if such conditions exist and local officials fail to protect innocent citizens of any race, condition or religion, I will use full necessary force of state to prevent discrimination.

THE MONITOR RECORD-BREAKING CROWD WILL SEE FOOTBALL STARS Extra Seats to Provide for Crowds Expected at Rock Island Independents and Omaha Olympics Game Starring Butler and Slater Work will be begun the first of next week at League Park, Fifteenth and Vinton streets, to erect additional stands in order to accommodate Omahans who want to see the great "Duke" Slater and Sol Butler, world famous colored athletes, in action as members of the Rock Island Independents football team against the Omaha Olympics. The game, October 28, is expected to be one of the outstanding sport events of all time in the midcontinent. Slater was unanimously chosen by the American sport critics as all-American tackle when he played with University of Iowa. It was Slater who virtually single-handed checked the rush of the famous Notre Dame backfield and enabled the Hawkeye eleven to defeat the South Bend Irish. Slater will play tackle for the Independents and will be opposed by either Ole Paulson, famous fullback on the Great Lakes naval training station team of war time, or Edson Shaw, former Nebraska University captain and allwestern tackle. Paulson was a member of the Great Lakes eleven which in a single season defeated Northwestern University, University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin, Georgetown University, West Point and Yale. Sol Butler, another famous colored athlete, is to play in the Rock Island backfield. Butler holds more honors for athletic achievements than any six colored athletes in the world, according to the official bulletins of the A. A. U. of 1920. Omahans have telegraphed Butler to send on, by express, the medals he has won on the track and in field events. If Butler will consent to send them to Omaha they will be placed on exhibition in one of the large downtown store windows next week. In addition to Butler and Slater, the Rock Island independents have some of the country's greatest white football players. Kmax Kadesky, who played shoulder to shoulder with the great Slater at Iowa University, will play in the same position for Rock Island against the Olympics. Cotton, famous Notre Dame tackle, played on the Notre Dame eleven which lost to Iowa, is another star of the Illinois independent club. Groups of Omaha colored persons who are anxious to show their loyalty to the premier football players of their race are reserving sections of the grandstands for themselves and friends. These sections are to be decorated with lodge colors and lodge emblems and kept for the private occupancy of their purchasers. Denny kyan, athletic director of the Omaha Athletic club, who is business manager and trainer of the Omaha Olympic football team, is arranging for these sections. Reservations may be made by calling him. NEW YORK DECISION BARS KU KLUX KLAN Albany, N. Y., Oct. 18. — The Ku Klux Klan now stands barred forever as a membership corporation in the state of New York. Moving secretly, the attorney general's office has secured a judgment against the Ku Klux Klan and the Kamalia, the woman's auxiliary, on a charge of altering their incorporation papers after a supreme court justice had approved them. MINISTERS' ALLIANCE The Ministers' Alliance met Tuesday morning in the lecture room of Bethel A. M. E. church. A discussion on moral conditions was held, also the close proximity of Dreamland Hall to Zion Baptist church. A delegation waited upon Mr. Jewell and requested him to dispense with the dance-hall feature of his elegant building. Attorney John Adams made an appeal for two clients under death sentence. The place of meeting was changed to the North Side "Y". COUNCIL BLUFFS ITEMS Mrs. Nannie Rudd, 245 Eighteenth avenue, left Wednesday afternoon for Ashland, Mo., to be at the bedside of her father, George Carlson, who is seriously ill. Mrs. M. E.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923 A LITTLE MORE RED IN THE OAK TREE WILL IMPROVE IT, I THINK Copyright. W. N. U. SIGHTS, EXPERIENCES AND IMPRESSIONS OF A TRAVELLER WHO ATTENDED NATL. BAPTIST CONVENTION, LOS ANGELES (Continue from last week.) What a multitude of historical reminiscences flood the mind as one nears the boundary line between Texas and Mexico. How strange it seems when one recalls the fact that the great state of Texas once was a part of the Republic of Mexico and experienced a long struggle to secure its independence to become incorporated with the United States; but the western boundary line was not settled and was ensued between the U. S. and Mexico from 1855 to 1867 covering a period of twelve years. Can we forget the many skirmishes over and near this fetal boundary line within the past few years. No, not when we remember how our boys of the Tenth Cavalry, under the late Col. Charles Young, were called to duty there by the government and played their part so well. The first thing that attracted our attention, on crossing the Rio Grande to Juarez and by the way, it is said to be the boundary line, was a gang of workmen leisurely placing sand bags along the river bank forming a dam. These men were almost the same in size, but varying very much in complexion from an olive to a mahogany brown. Nearby the custom house could be seen. A small one-story brick building with the Mexican flag hoisted and floating to the breeze. In front of this building were a number of officers, some seated and others standing looking ver con table in their shirt sleeves. "Do we get off here?" someone asked seeing the cars stopping. The answer was: "Oh, yes!" My, how peacock-a-fied we felt to be abroad! Although we dare not remember the proximity of home, for fear our feathers would fall. However, to have our friends posted concerning our travels we rushed into "the corner store" to purchase cards and after the usual address with a dignified flourish we added "U. S. A." In our anxiety no one had noticed just where we were. When we behouse, although the building is not as "WHIRL OF GIRLS" Never Before Such a Succession of Really Good Shows at the Gayety. There is really more than the ordinary number of worth-worth comedians, singers and dancers, to say nothing of general entertainers, said to be in the noteworthy cast of John G. Jermon's big feminine revue, "Whirl of Girls", announced at the popular Gayetty theatre as next week's attraction, starting Saturday matinee, October 20. Vic Plant and Fred (Falls) Binder are the two featured comedians who promise a laugh every moment they are on the stage. Both are favorites with burlesque patrons, Plant having been last season with "Hello Good Times" and Bender with "Smiles and Kisses". June LeVeay, the prima don- By Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson came normal—Oh, horrors!—we found ourselves actually in a saloon with a post card camouflaged front! Mexico is just dripping "wet", everywhere a saloon is to be seen, and yet it is said that a drunken person is seldom seen. Post cards and beautiful needle work of the Mexican women decorate a number of such windows. One may, if he likes, pass on to the rear. The streets are narrow and sandy and unpaved. In this land of perpetual spring a number of men seemed to have been taking life easy; many were seated on the curbstones along the streets, while others strolled along, all with their large hats and colored shirts, actually looking the part of "I should worry". After seeing so many women with small black shawls over their heads or around their shoulders we nearly lost our equanimity when we saw a number of girls toged up in the style we class as flappers in our country. It was sad, indeed, to see a number of old and decrepit men and women dragging themselves along the streets. As far as we saw most of the homes looked cozy, but not modern. They were small one-story buildings, generally constructed of large bricks made of mud and straw. Similar to those made by the Israelites in Egypt. The buildings have flat roofs with very odd guttering. Around these homes a mother and many children are usually seen. In the business section of the city a large vegetable square is to be seen, similar to our city market. Here everything conceivable is available along vegetable lines and may be secured at a very low price. Here also may be seen the vendor with his produce tied to his body walking around to make his sales, with grapes as sweet as dripping honey. A N. A. A. C. P. representative told us that many of the citizens of El Paso did much of their buying in Juarez, because things were cheaper. I must tell you something about the City Hall. It is a very imposing structure, made of beautiful marble. The architecture is splendid, resembling very much our county court na of the piece, is also well-known having spent last season as prima donna of "Hello Good Times" as did also George Wiest, the straight man of the show. Flossie DeVere, the sprightly soubrette of the cast, comes to "Whirl of Girls" from "Maids of America", while Gertrude La Vetta, the likeable ingenee halls from last season's "American Girls". Willie St. Clair, the juvenile and Charles Seymour, the character man, are both new to burlesque but well known in vrudeville and musical comedy. Of course, a show having the title of "Whirl of Girls" would necessarily have to go strong on its ensemble equipment and the producers are said to have not overlooked this important portion of their entertainment. Not only have they secured an exceptionally good looking aggregation of youthful maids, but also one whose mem- spacious. It is surrounded with an attractive hawn with beautiful flowers. There is a "Statue of Liberty" and at its base are inscribed the names of prominent pioneers. What is their religion? The prevailing faith is Roman Catholic, which was the state religion until 1857. In 1873 the government declared itself against recognition of any particular denomination as "state religion". Their present church, the Old Mission Guadalupe was established in 1549. It has been renovated and painted but the interior is practically the same. The seats are old fashioned benches made of trees that failed to receive the refining touch. An old belfry stands on one side of the church, holding high its cross, while sheltering the faithful old bell that has for centuries rang out the appeal for worshipers to come to the house of the Lord. On the other side of the church is the old memorable graveyard with its marble stonebones, silently declaring the inevitable truth, "It is appointed to men once to die". But the fresh, green shrubbery, teeming with life overshadowing their dust, predicts for them a glorious resurrection. The race track is one mile and a half around. Here they stage bull fights and prize fights. Yes, Jack Johnson fought a bull in this very place. This impressive building is formed out of varied colors of glass plates that glitters in the sun. The cost was more than a million dollars. Its interior is covered with white sand. Here and there are beautifully designed beds of pretty fragrant lilies. It has a seating capacity of ten thousand. During the terrible internal disorder in Mexico Villa at one time took refuge in this building. Finally he placed himself on its roof and fired on his enemies in the city, who returned the fire. During this fusillade holes large enough for one's fist to pass through were made in these beautiful glass plates. Now I am wondering whether he was really a "Villa" or a "Villian". (To be continued) bers are symmetrical in their physical proportions and brimming over with pep and the ability to execute the intricate mazes of the many dances as well as to sing with pleasing voices. I. B. Hamp, the author of the book and lyrics of the piece, who by the way, is also well known to Columbia patrons as an excellent Swedish dialect comedian, has furnished a world of wholesome humor in the many scenes and dialogue of the show. And he has written some remarkably fine lyrics to the tuneful melodies of John Cowan, the composer of the music. John G. Jermon has staged the entire production in a most capable manner. Taken kilogram "Whirl of Girls" is an attraction that is well worth a visit. There will be the regular nightly performances with special matinees for the ladies every day. Sunday's bargain matinee starts at 3:00. Whole Number 432 FORMAL OPENING OF DREAMLAND HALL More Than 600 Persons Attend Social Event Which Marks Advanced Business Venture By Race Citizen. More than six hundred people mostly younger folk, with a good sprinkling of the older folk, who enjoy the tapeschiorne art, attended the formal opening of the commodious and beautiful Dreamland Hall in the Jewell building, Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, Tuesday night. Several of the older and representative citizens were there as onlookers and to express their appreciation of Mr. Jewell's enterprise in venturing into such a large and commendable business undertaking as the erection of a building of this character. The hall was beautifully decorated and hundreds of couples danced to their heart's delight to the strains of Adams' popular orchestra, which was at its best. Festoons of artificial roses were drapped from the ceiling and flowers and palms decorated the stage upon which the orchestra was seated. The Jewell building, which represents an expenditure of over $50,000, is a beautiful two-story pressed brick building, 132 long and 46 feet wide, the interior dimensions being 130 by 44. It consists of two large store buildings, fronting on Twentyfourth street and two five-room apartments fronting on Grant street, the heating plant and one large basement room which will probably be occupied by a printing establishment; two suites of offices and the large hall upstairs. The dimensions of Dreamland Hall are 110 by 44 feet. This is divided into the large assembly room, 82 by 44 feet, a stage, 12 by 22 feet, a retiring room for the ladies and one for men, each 11 by 12, a check room and a well-equipped kitchenette. The handsomely appointed offices are occupied by Drs. Foster and McMillian, physicians and surgeons, and E. M. Davis, real estate dealer. Dreamland Hail will be available for dances, entertainments, conventions and all gatherings for which commodious accommodations are required. Our people who have had almost to beg as well as pay exorbitant prices for public halls in which to have their entertainments, have now a hall, built and owned by one of our race, as handsome, commodious and convenient as one can desire and they should take pride in patronizing it and making this large business investment, which Mr. Jewell has had the faith and courage to make, pay. HELP GIVEN DESTITUTE STRANGER AND HER CHILDREN BY CHARITABLE SOUTHSIDERS A very sick woman by the name of Mrs. Victoria McDonald with five children was found at the depot last week. She had been directed to come here on account of rer health. But she was not only sick, but penniless and friendless. After being refused help by to those whom she was sent, Miss Gertrude Lucas, welfare worker, was notified and at once got on the job to locate this mother and children in a home somewhere. But no one wanted them. In the meantime Miss Lucas got in touch with Mrs. Lovetta Bush who informed Mrs. Laura Jefferson of this poor woman's predictament. Mrs. Jefferson is chairman of the stewardess board of Allen chapel and is sick herself, but her Christian heart would not let her refuse to open her door for this poor woman and children whom she at once housed. Mrs. Josie Blackwell prepared a good hot meal for them and Mrs. Bush supplied them and kept to keep them warm. Then these good women got busy and communicated with Mrs. M. Bowls, city missionary of the Bethel Baptist church and her acting pastor, Rev. Jessie Young, who became at once interested in this woman's welfare who is a Baptist. Mrs. Bowls solicited money from Mt. Olivet and Trinity Baptist churches to the amount of $6.00, each church contributing $3.00. At the same time Allen chapel contributed $7.25 and Rev. Jess Young, Mrs. Sutton, Mrs. Demond, Mrs. Low and Mrs. Jefferson took each a child and Rev. D. J. Burckhardt through Miss Lucas has arranged for her to be cared for at the University hospital where it is believed she will soon be restored to health. Mrs. McDonald's husband deserted her some months ago and ran off with another woman leaving her in this condition. She is willing to work when able and wishes to thank all who have done anything to help relieve her condition. Mrs. Fred Divers was kind enough to bring her and children to Mrs. Jefferson from the depot in her car. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 16 JUDGE CHICAGOANS NAME COLORED ATTORNEY FOR JUDGE'S JOB Republicans Place Edward H. Morris, a Lawyer of Recognized Ability, on Regular Judicial Ticket. ONE OF TWENTY CANDIDATES Stands Excellent Chance of Nomination and Election, Having Solid Support of Second Ward and Is Popular. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill—When the republican and democratic parties decided to throw full tickets into the judicial election this fall it opened the way for the nomination of a colored candidate to sit upon the superior bench of Cook County and Edward H. Morris, well known and able lawyer, was selected. For years one of the hopes of the colored electorate of Chicago has been to place a man upon the judicial bench. Judges are nominated by the central committee which has named candidates on several occasions who have always gone down in defeat. The opportunity to make the fight again came through the clever manipulation of colored political leaders and Edward H. Wright, committeeman and "boss" of the Second Ward, is being given the lion's share of the credit. The democrats and republicans had a fusion or coalition ticket all but agreed upon. At the last moment they split and both parties held conventions composed of committeemen from the various wards and districts to select slates. Edward H. Wright was the only colored man in the convention, but he is recognized as a power and when the Second Ward was called on to express its sentiment and present its choice, he arose and asked the convention to hear a committee of colored citizens who had come to press the claim of the group to a place on the judicial ticket. Alderman Louis B. Anderson was the spokesman and in an effective and clever talk he presented to the assembly the advantage to the party of recognition of "the brethren," calling their attention not only to the solid phalanx of 25,000 voters in the Second Ward, but the city-wide support which would be brought to the G. O. P. as a result. Others on the committee were Attorneys Violet Anderson, A. E. Patterson, I. B. Turner and O. DePriest, who spoke. The convention was impressed and named Mr. Morris as one of the 20 candidates for the superior court bench. The position pays $15,000 a year. Mr. Morris, who is national grand master of the Odd Fellows, is married and rated as one of Chicago's wealthiest citizens. All factions agree that his ability is unquestioned, that he has the judicial temperament, and that if elected he will reflect credit upon the group. SURPRISE PARTY FOR OUT OF TOWN GUEST Monday night several of the ladies of the Mission Circle of Mt. Moriah Baptist church met at the parsonage, 2412 Corby street, as a surprise to Mrs. W. C. Campbell of Hannibal, Mo., who is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. McDonald. They were met at the door by the Rev. E. H. McDonald with this question, "Who are these that are arrayed?" and met with the response from the efficient president of the circle, "It is they who remember the stranger within the gates." They were scarcely seated before five gentlemen appeared. All expressed delight in having such a pleasant visitor in our city, which was responded to by the guest of honor who said, the members of Mt. Moriah church were about to heal the wounds made in her heart by taking away their pastor from Hannibal, Mo., but that she was satisfied the people loved him here, by the hospitality shown to her. Dr. and Mrs. McDonald also expressed their gratitude for the surprise party. Ice cream, cake and nuts were served. All departed saying an enjoyable evening had been spent at the parsonage. The following guests were present: Mrs. M. E. Hill, Mrs. E. C. Hill, Mrs. L. S. McIntosh, Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Stovall, Mrs. B. Highland, Mrs. L. B. McQueen, Mrs. Mary Wilson, Mrs. Annie Early, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Banks-Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hibbler, Messrs. J. Miles, Charles Howard and Virgil Shoab.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "TRADITIONS, TOO" WE frequently hear it stated by members of our race that whenever there comes a conflict between "Southern traditions" and "Northern principles", in the matter of racial prejudice, the white people of the North always surrender to the South. We admit, with keen regret, that there is much to justify this contention. Examples of such surrender even by religious organizations which profess to exemplify the democracy and catholicity of the Divine Founder of Christianity as well as by civic bodies, political and welfare organizations and educational institutions abound in such large measure that this opinion finds justification. It is, therefore, refreshing and enheartening to be able to cite, however occasional they may be, examples which show the golden side of the shield; which prove that there are men and institutions not afraid to be just or to take the right stand. Such an example is that of President Baker of Washington and Jefferson University who positively refused to surrender to Southern tradition. His reply to Dean Campbell whose ultimatum was that unless Charles West were removed from W. & J.'s team the traditions of Washington and Lee would compel them to break their contract was manly, straight-forward and unequivocal. Commenting on his decision, which met with the unqualified approval of the student-body, townsfolk and people of Pennsylvania, President Butler said: "I am sorry the unfortunate situation arose. I respect the tradition which Washington and Lee followed in refusing to play the game, but Wash-Jeff college is a Northern school with traditions, too. It has never made any distinction against color or creed in enrolling its students. Charles West, who was the cause of the controversy, has been one of the best students in the college for the last three years. He has been an honor to the school both as a student and as an athlete, adding to its prestige by his gentlemanly conduct and his efforts as an athlete. To have withdrawn him would have been a gross injustice." President Baker did a service not only to the university of which he is the head in standing for its best traditions, but to the whole country. It is well to let the South and all others who stand for narrow and un-American traditions understand and, that courteously, but emphatically, that Nebraska Chapter Thirteen of Enacted in 1893. Sec. 1. Civil r Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1893. Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons.

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. there are sections of this country, which have "traditions, too," which are fairer and more representative of the ideals upon which Americas was founded than are theirs and that these traditions and principles will not be surrendered. With the North standing true to her "traditions, too," the time will come when the better sentiment of the South will realize that "traditions" which violate the principles of democracy upon which the republic was founded are unworthy of her and repudiate them. But if the North and the liberal-minded people of the South continue to surrender to narrow, unreasonable and unworthy "Southern traditions", these "traditions" will endure to the confusion of the country. WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER? WE have been asked the following question which we pass on to our readers and would like them to submit their answers, in brief letters, covering not more than 300 words. This is the question: "What will be the outcome of the prejudice against our race which has so largely increased since the World War; will it become so bad that it will ultimately result in good?"

HISTORIC ASSOCIATION 1 9 2 8 Omaha, Nebr., Oct. 16, 1923. EDITOR THE MONITOR: In your issue of The Monitor of October 5, 1923, your paper contained an article entitled "Historical Associations". I appreciate the necessity of such an association for many reasons. In this brief letter to you I will tersely show to your readers and the world-at-large tre crying need for such an organization and why it should command attention and respect. Having been born and raised amongst the Negro race near the Blue Ridge Mountains of east Tennessee, and having had the pleasure of hearing some of the brightest men of this nation express themselves upon the subject of the equality of men, I think that I am in a good position to both write and speak of the Negro and his battle for equal rights amongst all other races upon American soil, politically, morally, patriotically and from a biblical standpoint. Reviewing the past patriotic events of the Negro, I will say it is a matter of history that Toussaint L'Overture, in his fight to liberate the Negroes of Haytii in the insurrection of San Domingo, a Negro defeated the Army of Napoleon, who conquered practically all Europe and was only defeated at the battle of Waterloo by the Irish Duke of Wellington. So that, standing at the bottom of the list, the Negro race is entitled, it judged by the great men of the masses, to the same recognition as the Anglo-Saxon or any other race. In this article I shall discuss the rights of the Negro and his duties and obligations. The rights of the Negro are the same as the rights of any other child of our first parents, Adam and Eve. The significance of this statement may be appreciated when one consults the Scriptures and finds the word "man"—a generic term, including not only the sexes but including all colors in the human race, whether they be black or white, yellow or red—all embraced in the single wide term, "man". Further let me say that at the birth of our Saviour, one of the many, including the noble wise kings from the east, who came to visit and adore the infant Jesus, was a Negro, who was received by our devine Savior on the same footing and with equal welcome, as the white kings. Then Christ, the king, made no distinction in his worshippers. Now, how dare white men attempt to deny the Negro the inherent rights of a human being, endowed with an immortal soul? Was not the Negro received with the same kindly love at the birth of Christ Jesus as were the kings from the east? Then how dare mere men, bearing a white skin but otherwise in the same categorical sphere, deny their colored neighbors the rights and privileges of a natural, unharassed life! When Christ commissioned His apostles did he not say: "Go forth, and teach all nations!" Our dear Lord did not exclude Africa from His commission. Christ, with His arms extended to the limit on the cross of Calvary, embraced all men for whom he gave his blood and made no distinction between the souls of Ethiopians and Caucasians. He did not consider skins but souls, and His principles when rightly applied often discover white souls in black bodies, and black souls THE MONITOR My Negro friends, I need not refer at length to Scripture to prove your God-given rights. Nature herself, in our birth and death, shows the equality of all men. I have a heart, so have you. I have a soul, so have you. I have a brain so have you.

WORLD'S GREATEST NEGRO CITY By Kelly Miller. New York has become the metropolis of the Negro race. Indeed, it is the greatest Negro city in the world. The colored population of New York City is equal to the total population of the State of Delaware. Quite a quarter of a million Negroes are focussed at this great metropolitan center. They are brought into contact with the most favorable influences which civilization affords. They enjoy full political rights. The law grants them civil equality which public sentiment in the main concedes. They have the best educational facilities that money can buy and the most favorable business opportunity. Although somewhat restricted by racial prejudice at present, they will in the long run be what the capacity and energy of the people themselves create and sustain. Harlem is a solid Negro city larger than Trenton, New Jersey. The bounds are as sharply drawn as if cut by a knife. The lingering remnant of whites tarry for a while for the sole purpose of business exploitation. Within the next half-hundred years Harlem will show the capacity of the Negro race for self-direction. Why should not two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes in New York count for as much in the general equation of things as the corresponding number of white Americans in the State of Deleware? According to the theory of democracy one citizen is equal to another. He has the same capacity. It is needless for two hundred thousand Americans to complain that their neighbors will not give them opportunity. In the language of President Garfield, they must capture their own opportunity. Wherever the Negro is overshadowed by a white environment, he is zpt to rely upon the whites to do things for him. He takes little interest in the primary processes of affairs. He seeks secondary pursuits after the principal lines have been already laid down. He seeks employment rather than enterprise. The government, politics, business, civil and public polity are not for him. It is his highest ambition to fit in. It is enough for the servant to be as his lord.

Two hundred thousand white people anywhere in the world are a sufficient group for all the practical purposes of business and practical undertakings. They proceed to meet, not only their own needs and necessities, but to help furnish the requirements of other groups. The Negro must begin to ask himself seriously why it is that groups of the race however numerous are not self-sufficient. Why are there not Negro towns and cities thriving under Negro enterprise and initiative? Boley, Oklahoma, and Mound Bayou, Mississippi, are interesting and commendable exceptions. There are six cities in the United States with over one hundred thousand Negroes. The problem before us is to see to it that these people of Negro blood figure in the activities and affairs of their several communities in proportion to their numerical strength. The old argument about race prejudice and denial of opportunity and privilege will hardly work much longer. The Negro contingency of New York must assume leadership in business and industry as well as in intellectual and moral guidance and direction. The greatest Negro city in the world should lead the Negroes of the world in the path of progress.

Zion Baptist church, of which he was a member, last Thursday at 2 p. m. Rev. I. B. Smith preached, being assisted by Rev. H. W. Botts and Rev. M. C. Knight. Mr. Nettles was one of Nebraska's pioneers. He was a veteran of the civil war, being a member of the local Army Post at the time of his death. After the sermon the post rendered their ritualistic rites over the body. The song "They Are Falling Away One by One" was particularly sad, as there was only one of our group left, while only a few of the white veterans remain, and most of them are very gray and worn from years of sojourn on earth. Friends were in attendance to pay last tribute to the deceased. The following affairs were carried out during the past week at Mt. Zion Baptist church: On Monday night, men of the church had a chicken supper Tuesday night, the mission had services. Rev. Wm. Franklin of Pilgrim Baptist church of Omaha was present and preached a most excellent sermon. Refreshments were served. Wednesday night, prayer meeting was held; the Buds of Promise served luncheon. Thursday night, the Utopian Art club was very beautifully entertained by Mr. T. L. Robinson at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Mosley. Friday night, the women of the church had a chicken and fish fry and Saturday night the old reliable Serving club had a fine dinner which closed the festivities. On Sunday the rally was held. Rev. H. W. Potts preached morning and night. His sermons being of a special interest. This marked the ending of his third year as pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, and we can say with a surety that he has done some creditable work. Union services were held in the afternoon at which time Rev. G. W. Carter of Newman M. E. church preached a fine sermon. The following pastors and part of their congregations were present: Rev. G. W. Carter, Rev. M. C. Knight, Rev. Mr. Thomas of Morning Star Baptist church; visiting minister, Rev. Mr. Watkins of Omaha. A large crowd was in attendance during the day. The amount raised in rally was $271.11. The N. A. A. C. P. held a meeting in Masonic hall Monday night. The Utopian Art club will be entertained by Mr. and Mrs. W. K. B. Alexander at their home, 2226 O street, Thursday night, October 25. The Daughters of Isis held a rousing meeting recently at which time refreshments were served to all Shriners as their invited guests. A nice program was rendered and a fine time was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Maude Gates has been removed to her home and according to last reports is doing fine. At the A. M. E. church last Sunday Rev. M. C. Knight conducted his services and preached during the day. The Sunday school and A. C. E. society had good services. Rev. G. W. Carter of the Newman Methodist church held his usual services and preached during the day to the enjoyment of his folks.

The languages spoken by the native inhabitants of the Philippine islands are variously reckoned, some authors distinguishing as many as fifty, others twenty or less, a difference due to the variant definitions of "language" and "dialect." But all these languages or dialects belong to one or other of two classes, those of the Malaysian race and those of the aboriginal inhabitants the Aetas or Negritos. North America The areas and the populations of the three countries that make up the mainland of North America are: canada, 3,729,695 square miles, population, 8,788,533; the United States, 3,027,000 square miles, population 106,710,520; Mexico, 768,000 square miles, population 16,000,000. Besides these, there are Greenland, a Danish possession, Newfoundland, a British colony, Cuba, an independent republic, and the other West Indian islands. The Yellow-Headed Blackbird The Yellow-Headed Blackbird. The scientists have named the yellow-headed blackbird Xanthocephalus exanthephalus. They have doubled up on the name for reasons best known to them, yes, but presumably the blackbird may not care in the least what his name is, for his chief worry in life seems to be found in constant but unsuccessful attempts to make a singer of himself.
